Crewe Alexandra are giving a trial to the son of French World Cup winner Youri Djorkaeff (pictured below)

Oan Djorkaeff has been playing for the French club Nantes and Crewe manager David Artell says he's not yet made a decision about the 21-year-old midfielder.

Artell said the move would probably depend on movement within his existing squad and whether space became available to add another player.

A Birmingham man is due to go on trial later this year, charged with murdering a cousin of TV weatherman Alex Beresford.

Lovel Bailey, who is 29 and from Bromwich Walk in Little Bromwich, is accused of stabbing Nathaniel Armstrong (pictured below), also 29, in Fulham, west London, on 16 March.

He appeared via video-link today at the Old Bailey.

The incident is alleged to have happened during an argument between Mr Armstrong and the defendant, the court heard earlier this week, and came 11 days after the weatherman spoke out about knife crime on ITV's breakfast programme, Good Morning Britain.

A plea hearing is due to take place at the same court on 21 June.

It will be a largely dry night with the chance of some rain and lows of 2C (36F).

Josh Adams returns to the Worcester Warriors side this weekend, for the first time since winning the Six Nations Grand Slam with Wales.

He was rested for last weekend’s European Challenge Cup quarter-final against Harlequins but returns on the left wing in place of Bryce Heem, who has a foot injury.

England flanker Ted Hill, number eight Marco Mama, tighthead prop Nick Schonert and lock Anton Bresler all return from injury and Scotland international back-row forward Cornell du Preez is set for his first Premiership appearance since he suffered a fractured larynx against Wasps in the opening match of the season.

Families call for prosecutions of those behind the 1974 Birmingham attacks, as inquests conclude.

There's been a call for the drinking water to be tested in the mayor's parlour at Stoke-on-Trent City Council after a councillor complained it had been causing stomach bugs for years.

But the request from Labour member Kath Banks was refused by the council's licensing committee and deputy mayor Jackie Barnes said: “The water has certainly never tasted wrong to me – and I drank it quite often."

This follows an internal email to councillors and council officers which revealed that the drinking water systems within the lord mayor’s parlour and the members' room were actually "not drinking water", but the council went on to say the issue had been resolved.

The authority is in the process of upgrading the water coolers and boilers at Stoke Town Hall and has already removed the water cooler and coffee machine from the members room.

A farm near Little Wenlock in Shropshire has offered a £1,000 reward to catch the people who slaughtered 19 of its lambs earlier this week.

West Mercia Police believe the thieves killed them for their meat and are warning that the meat is unfit to enter the food chain, because they had been recently treated with antibiotics and a treatment for parasites.

The force is also worried the culprits could strike again.

Tamara Pickstock, whose family own the farm, said: "It is heartbreaking that some of our lambs have been killed in this way."

PC Jonathon Hillier told jurors he feared he would be assaulted when he shot a workman with the Taser.

A manhunt for James Dempsey was launched after a five-month-old was reported missing in Birmingham.

Chris Mullin was abused as he left the Birmingham pub bomb inquests for not naming the living suspects.

Families of the victims have called on police to "bring to justice" those behind the Birmingham pub bombings.

The experiences of pub bombings survivors are collated here.

Among them is Les Robinson, 67.

The impact of that November night means he cannot be anywhere near an unattended parcel.

"Even to this day it gives me the most uncomfortable feeling in the world. I will ask if I'm in a place with an unattended bag, I will ask 'whose is that bag' and if I can't find out I'm out of there."

But he said the events enabled him to "meet and marry the woman that I did".

"Her name is Roz," he said. "Roz was in there as well that night. We'd fell out so weren't really together - like all courting couples you have your moments - but it got us back together.

"From there we married, from there we had the two best daughters you want and a further three grandchildren. It made my life. The Tavern didn't take away anything from me, but it gave me everything."

The chief constable of West Midlands Police says his detectives currently have a number of "active lines of inquiry" linked to the 1974 Birmingham Pub Bombings.

Families of the dead have called on police to prosecute the killers.

At the conclusion of fresh inquests earlier, a jury found the IRA was behind the deaths.

Responding to today's outcome, Dave Thompson said the force was looking at the details of the previous re-investigation of the pub bombings in the 1990s.

He said "my absolute statement is 'if we could bring people to justice we would do' and at the moment we have an active criminal investigation".

The fresh Birmingham pub bombings inquests came after years of campaigning by families for a full account of what happened the night of 21 November 1974.

A flawed police investigation led to the 1975 jailing of innocent men - the so-called Birmingham Six - but their convictions were quashed by the Court of Appeal in 1991.

Former MP Chris Mullin told the inquests he'd spoken to the men responsible for the bombings decades ago, but thinks it's too late now for new criminal charges.

"The only way I can see that anybody could conceivably be convicted 44 years after the event," he said, "is if they put their thumb prints to a statement setting out their role in this affair.

"I don't see any sign of that happening."

The sister of one of the 21 people killed in the Birmingham Pub Bombings said the bereaved families were now looking to police to prosecute those responsible.

At inquests into the deaths earlier, the jury found the IRA was behind the killings, which the coroner branded murders.

Julie Hambleton said the chief constable of West Midlands Police "should go ahead and prosecute and bring to justice" the killers.

She said that while the police officers of 1974 couldn't be questioned in any great detail, "there is no way that the people of this country and the people of our community of Birmingham and our families will allow the senior police officers to get off" with letting murderers "get away with their continued liberty".

On the night of 21 November 1974, hundreds of people were drinking in two Birmingham pubs.

It was Thursday - payday for many and the day for late-night shopping in the city.

Young couples gathered for drinks and others, many at the start of their adult lives, jostled for their favourite spots at the bar.

But in the space of five minutes, their lives were changed forever.

Two bombs ripped through the Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town pubs, killing 21 people and injuring 220.

More than 44 years later, inquests into the deaths have concluded the victims were unlawfully killed by the IRA.

Some of the survivors of the bombings have shared their stories here.
