    Passengers have been advised to avoid London Waterloo station all day after a South West Trains service derailed outside the station.

    The train partly left the tracks as it was pulling away from a platform at low speed at 05:40 BST, Network Rail said. Three people were checked over by London Ambulance Service but nobody was taken to hospital.

    Ten platforms are already shut as part of engineering works to enlarge the station's capacity.

    Network Rail said: "If you don't have to travel to Waterloo today, please don't."

    South West Trains runs services to Waterloo from Exeter.

    It said there would be a very limited service running to and from Waterloo "which is expected for the rest of today".

    Cornwall's biggest annual music festival ended with a protracted getaway for tens of thousands of revellers.

    Many festivalgoers had a wait of up to five hours at Newquay's small branch line railway station, even though GWR laid on extra services and carriages.

    Some people who came by private transport reported delays of many hours just trying to get out of the Boardmasters' site.

    The organisers acknowledged the road and rail chaos on "one of the biggest changeover days of the year" and said people were delayed getting away because of this, "combined with Newquay's usual summer traffic" and Monday's "unseasonal weather".

    They added that the festival brought an estimated £40m into the local economy but they would "continue to do everything we can to minimise disruption so that Cornwall can enjoy the long-term benefits".

    Council officials are out on Cornwall's beaches this summer, armed with new powers to fine people who are flouting dog bans.

    Seasonal restrictions on some beaches have been around for years, but this summer is the first when new Public Space Protection Orders are in place right around the coastline.

    These give the authority more powers to issue on-the-spot fines of up to £100.

  7. NHS cyber-defender Marcus Hutchins back onlinepublished at 08:01 British Summer Time 15 August 2017

    Marcus Hutchins

    The British cyber-security researcher, charged in the US with creating and selling malware, has returned to Twitter to thank his supporters.

    It is the first time Marcus Hutchins has spoken publicly since his arrest earlier this month in Las Vegas.

    Earlier on Monday the 23-year-old from Ilfracombe, Devon, pleaded "not guilty" during a court hearing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

    A trial has been scheduled for October. The court gave Mr Hutchins permission to work and use the internet again.

    However, he will not be allowed access to the server he used to stop WannaCry spreading. He must also surrender his passport and will be tracked in the US via GPS during his release.

    Mr Hutchins praised people for their "incredible show of support".
