Coventry's Ricoh Arena will stage international rugby league for the first time this weekend. 

Four countries are taking part in the Four Nations tournament, including England, who've been training at the University of Birmingham.

Following last weekend's narrow defeat by New Zealand, England are hot favourites to beat Scotland on Saturday.

More than 70 pay phones in south Warwickshire could be disconnected under a review into phone usage by BT. 

The firm says more people are using mobiles to make calls meaning the call-boxes aren't needed.

If the plan goes ahead, three in the Bidford and Alcester areas, along with six in Stratford, would be removed.

Coventry-based Pooling Partners says tens of thousands of pallets go up in flames every bonfire night, and the practice needs to come to an end. 

The company says the pallets are recyclable and the destruction of so many could have even have an impact on economic growth.
