Jodie Keys,14, was last seen at her home in Waltham Cross on Thursday. She is white with a stocky build, 5ft 10in (1.8m) tall, and has long blonde hair which is often worn in plaits.

The teenager was last seen wearing black leggings, Adidas or Nike-branded black trainers, a green V-neck lace-up jumper and a black, padded short jacket.

She is believed to have travelled to Scotland by train and could be in either the Edinburgh or Aberdeen areas.

Officers say they are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.

Anyone who has seen her or who knows where she is should call Hertfordshire Police.

Peterborough entered the transfer window with manager Grant McCann only looking to tweak his squad.

A collapse in form over the past month has since seen his priorities change.

Posh were thwarted in a late deal for a striker and also failed to land Port Vale midfielder Anthony Grant. 

However, in a surprise move, former striker Craig Mackail-Smith has arrived from Luton on a loan deal until the end of the season. He'll add experience and know-how up front, but has only recently recovered from a broken leg.

Earlier in the window, defender Dominic Ball joined on loan from Rotherham, while West Ham midfielder Martin Samuelsen is back on loan for a second time. They'll provide competition for places. Striker Junior Morias signed from National League South side St Albans.

A court's heard how the man accused of killing Hertfordshire author Helen Bailey was due to inherit more than £3m in the event of her death. 

The 51-year-old's body was found in a cesspit at the home she shared with fiance Ian Stewart in Royston, Hertfordshire, in July.

Solicitor Amanda King-Jones said that Ms Bailey changed her will in July 2014 so that her fiance, Ian Stewart, would get her share of her property and money to ensure he had a very comfortable lifestyle in the event of her death. 

St Albans Crown Court also heard that if she died after the couple married, Mr Stewart would be saved from paying around £1m in tax.   

The prosecution alleges Mr Stewart murdered Ms Bailey, who he was due to marry last September, for her money.

Mr Stewart, who's 56 and from Royston, denies murder, preventing a lawful burial, fraud and three counts of perverting the course of justice.

The trial continues.

Suffolk County and Suffolk Coastal councils have both said they need more detailed information about plans for a new nuclear power station at Sizewell before they pledge their support.

Deputy leader of Suffolk Coastal, Geoff Holdcroft, said transport issues needed to be examined.

"Most importantly, we need to know where the material [to build the power station] is coming from before we can fully understand the impact on our communities," he said.

Adding that power company EDF "could do better", Mr Holdcroft said: "They've provided some information but they need to provide an awful lot more before we can fully support their proposals. 

"We support the principle of a power station - we need the benefit in terms of economic growth, for the region and our communities - but we do need that information."

Chuka Umunna and Peter Bone have had a right pow-wow on the BBC News Channel about the Trump state visit.

Mr Umunna, the Labour MP for Streatham, says it would be "outrageous" for the US President to be asked to address the Houses of Parliament, saying he had "peddled hate, misogyny, racism and Islamaphobia" during the presidential campaign and appeared now to be governing in the same way.

But Mr Bone, the Conservative MP for Wellingborough, says the President is the duly elected leader of the UK's oldest and strongest ally and must be allowed to come.

Mr Bone asks his counterpart what he was doing when the Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the UK in 2014 - calling into question China's human rights record.

"Are you really defending Chinese human rights on this programme," he asks his Labour counterpart.

Mr Umunna insists "he wasn't happy with the Chinese state visit" but, on balance, he would rather welcome the Chinese leader than Mr Trump.

A court has been shown CCTV footage of the moment a man died on a traveller's site near Leighton Buzzard after a feud between two families turned violent. 

Patrick Maloney, 43, was killed after being run over by a van at the Toddbury Farm site in Little Billington in August last year.

The footage showed an argument taking place outside a caravan when Thomas McCarthy punches Patrick Maloney who falls to the ground. 

Patrick Maloney then attacks Thomas McCarthy's car and it's claimed that Thomas's younger brother, Christopher McCarthy, then runs over Patrick Maloney and drags him underneath the van he was driving.

Mr Maloney's family wept while they watched the footage in court.

The two men, from the neighbouring Greenacres travellers site, are on trial at Luton Crown Court: 22-year-old Christopher McCarthy denies murder; 24-year-old Thomas McCarthy denies actual bodily harm. 

The trial continues.

The vehicle which was in a car park off Bridge Road East in Welwyn Garden City sustained "significant damage".

Senior instructor with the Sea Cadets, Terry Atkins, said "The Sea Cadets is a charity and it is run by volunteers who give their time up for free to help young people learn new skills, such as sailing, boating and rock climbing.

"I just think it is deplorable that these people would target a registered charity."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.

"It’s not acceptable to sell alcohol to underage and we will continue to hold days of action such as this to tackle this important issue."
