The BBC has waived the TV licence fee for communities wanting to watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.

It means street parties and other special events can screen the wedding live without buying a licence.

Usually a premises must be covered by a TV licence for showing live TV or iPlayer, but this can be waived in exceptional circumstances.

Hundreds of street party applications have been made to councils to mark the wedding on 19 May, the government said.

A South West man who's facing deportation because of a change in immigration rules is hoping his case will be raised in Parliament later by MPs debating an amnesty for the Windrush generation.

Euten Lindsay says he came to the UK when he was nine years old and has been living here for more than 40 years. Mr Lindsay doesn't have a passport and the Home Office has told him he'll have to leave in two years.

A Home Office spokesman said it had set up a team to assist "undocumented long-resident Commonwealth citizens" and advised Mr Lindsay to call the team.

• Amber Rudd resigns as home secretary
• Windrush: Who exactly was on board?
• Windrush generation: Who are they and why are they facing problems?
• Windrush assurances should be written into law, say MPs

The Windrush row erupted after it emerged some migrants from Commonwealth Caribbean countries who settled in the UK from the late 1940s to the 1970s, and their relatives, had been declared illegal immigrants.

Some of the Windrush generation have been threatened with deportation, lost their jobs, or been refused access to medical treatment.

Work is continuing to deal with a 40ft (12m) deep hole which opened up beneath a car park built above a disused mineshaft in Cornwall over the weekend.

The site has been fenced off since Saturday after it opened, affecting nearby homes in St Ives.

At the surface, the hole is currently about 1m (3ft) wide.

Mining historians say parts of Cornwall are "riddled" with mineshafts and holes have opened in the past, including in 2014, when part of the main road between Helston and Penzance had to be dug up.
