We know, lots of you are very excited having secured the grades you were hoping for... but if you didn't get the A-level results you wanted, you might be thinking of retaking a year.

It probably sounds like the worst thing in the world right now, but it doesn't have to be.

The Newsbeat team have been speaking to Finn. He got "terrible" grades (U,U,D,E) so stayed back a year to try to get what he needed. 

Take a look at his guide in full for how to cope, but he says the main things are:

• Work out what went wrong first time round
• Are A-levels really for you?
• Other people are in the same boat
• Don't try to be the cool guy from the year above (you won't make new friends that way)
• You WON'T lose all your old friends
• A year really isn't that long

Praise is being heaped on Cambridgeshire's Hannah Mcleod, who last night helped the women's hockey team secure a place in the Olympic final on Friday. 

It means she's already improved on the bronze she won in London in 2012, and she could get gold if they beat the Netherlands. 

Cambridgeshire sports organisation Living Sport has posted this tweet...

Nicky Thompson, from Cambridge City Hockey Club, says it was a "fantastic performance, it's huge, it wasn't just important for the women's game, with the men not doing so well, it was really important the women got a medal here to keep the funding going".

League Two side Cambridge United sign Gibraltar midfielder Jake Gosling from Bristol Rovers on loan until January.

Coming into the Games, the women's hockey team, which includes Cambridgeshire's Hannh Mcleod, were seventh in the world rankings following a disappointing Champions Trophy in June.

But they were the only team to progress from the Olympic group stage with a 100% record, beating Argentina and Australia - ranked second and third in the world respectively - on their way to the quarter-finals, where they overcame Spain.

"They have developed a gold-medal mentality," said former GB goalkeeper and BBC Sport analyst Simon Mason.

"They want nothing other than to take home gold. It has been incredible to watch."

Last night's victory over New Zealand is their best ever result, meaning they will now get silver or gold. They managed to achieve bronze in 1992 and 2012.

We've been covering a report into the handling of complaints about a Tory activist, commissioned after the death of a Wisbech man.

The Conservative Party said it was establishing new procedures for handling complaints by volunteers, including a dedicated hotline and training for relevant party employees.

Law firm Clifford Chance was brought in to conduct an inquiry following the death of young Tory activist Elliott Johnson, who took his own life at a train station at Sandy in Bedfordshire.  

Today, party chairman Sir Patrick McLoughlin said: "The death of Elliott Johnson was a tragedy and our thoughts remain with his family and friends.

"As we address the findings of this report I want to make clear that there can be no place for bullying behaviour in our party and we all have a responsibility to act when it occurs.

"The actions we are taking today will continue to ensure volunteers, who are so vital to our party, can flourish."

A community defibrillator, dramatically increasing the chance of a person's survival from nine to 50%, has been installed in St Benedict’s Court in Huntingdon.

It can be used by members of the public, without training, under the guidance of the ambulance service, to assist in the early treatment of sudden cardiac arrest until help arrives.

Full instructions are given audibly from the device and can be used by anyone to shock a person’s heart back into normal rhythm.

Sue Bradshaw, manager of BID Huntingdon which funded the device said: "We are delighted to provide this piece of life saving equipment for the community and our visitors... although we hope this will not be required, it is re-assuring to know that the AED is available should the need arise."

A Conservative activist at the centre of bullying allegations was appointed to a key role in the party's general election campaign despite warnings of his record of "aggressive and bullying conduct", an inquiry has found.

Law firmClifford Chance was brought in to conduct a inquiry following the death of young Tory activist Elliott Johnson, from Wisbech, who took his own life at a train station at Sandy in Bedfordshire.

The firm found that complaints were made about the conduct of the so-called "Tatler Tory" Mark Clarke on seven occasions before the party finally mounted an investigation into his behaviour.

However, the report said that the party's then co-chairmen Lord Feldman and Grant Shapps, MP for Welwyn Hatfield, had not been made aware of allegations until August last year when an internal party inquiry was launched.

The law firm was finally brought in to investigate after Mr Johnson's death. His complaint against Mr Clarke finally triggered the internal investigation.

Area Commander for Peterborough, Supt Mel Dales said: “Drugs are a key concern for communities across Peterborough and today’s warrants should serve as reassurance as to how seriously we take the use and supply of illegal substances.

“We will continue to address concerns and I would urge people to continue to report suspicious behaviour.”
