A hotel in Reading which sold alcohol to a 13-year-old girl has kept its licence.

The schoolgirl was served alcohol at the hotel in Letcombe Street, Reading, while a male "friend" booked a room as part of an undercover police operation.

The "test" followed previous failures by staff around preventing child sexual exploitation and selling alcohol.

The hotel has been allowed to keep its licence but must improve training for its staff, and ask for photo ID whenever someone checks in or buys something from the bar.

The ex-Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger wants to raise £8,000 in 24 hours so an Oxford college can keep a picture of a woman who was murdered by its painter.

The portrait is of Eileen Henry, an Irish model who was murdered by the artist John Currie in 1914.

It has been at Lady Margaret Hall, of which Mr Rusbridger is principal, but is being sold by its owner tomorrow.

Writing on a crowdfunding page, Mr Rusbridger said the picture was a way "to reflect on sexual violence".

An £86m investment in new facilities for nuclear fusion research in the UK has been announced by the government.

Two new "centres of excellence" will be created for The UK Atomic Energy Authority's (UKAEA) fusion research programme at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire.

It is hoped they will enable the authority to develop technology for the first nuclear fusion power plants.

The centres are expected to create about 100 jobs when they open in 2020.

A historic church on the Isle of Wight that was rebuilt in 1827 has been sold for £75,000.

St Thomas Church in Ryde was handed over to the council in 2005 for community use.

Over the last few years it had been largely unused.

A private buyer bought the Grade II listed building and will preserve and protect it for future generations.

The old Archaeology Centre in Carisbrooke, which has been empty for the past year, was also sold for more than £200,000.

Isle of Wight Council said the money would be reinvested in the island.

Revised plans to demolish and rebuild parts of a city centre have been formally launched, after a previous scheme failed.

Winchester City Council cancelled the £150m Silver Hill scheme in 2016 after a dispute with a developer.

The new draft plan for up to 300 flats, shops and public spaces is to be put out to public consultation on Monday, the authority has agreed.

More than £12m has been spent on the project since it began in the 1990s.

Plans for an 885-room hall of residence for university students in Oxford have been approved.

The blocks for Oxford Brookes are to be built on land once occupied by Cowley Barracks off James Wolfe Road next to Paul Kent Hall.

The site will have very low levels of parking which has prompted concerns about students using nearby streets.

However, councillors backed the proposal after a report by Oxford City Council officers recommended approval.

Lavinia Woodward, the University of Oxford student who avoided jail for stabbing her boyfriend, is trying to appeal against her suspended sentence, the BBC can reveal.

The 24-year-old pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding at Christ Church college after drinking heavily.

Judge Ian Pringle QC suspended her 10-month jail sentence and at an earlier hearing said he believed immediate custody would damage her career.

She has now applied for permission to take her case to the Court of Appeal.

The case prompted a debate about inequality in the criminal justice system after Judge Pringle deferred her sentence to give her a chance to prove she was no longer addicted to drugs and alcohol.

The troubled Cowes Floating Bridge No 6 is scheduled to reopen to the public on Monday as part of an extended trial period.

Cars and passengers will be able to use it from 11 December for the normal fees, and the council will allow free travel for foot passengers over the Christmas period between 23 December and 2 January 2018.

The decision to bring the vessel back into use comes after the council said it had addressed well-publicised issues with the new £3m vessel.

It has suffered several suspensions and technical failures since it was brought into service in May.

"Extraordinarily able" Lavinia Woodward was given a suspended term for stabbing her boyfriend.

Fire crews were called to Broad Street in Reading last night after reports the Boots store had filled with smoke.

But the shop's smoke cloak had been accidentally activated - an anti-burglary system which fills the shop with a cosmetic, harmless smoke to make it harder for burglars to get away.

The Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed there was no danger and no break-in.

In the New Year, after "completing final build activity and preparing for helicopter trials", HMS Queen Elizabeth will head for the United States.

Fight trials will take place off the coast there in Autumn 2018, with 120 air crew currently training in the US.

The MoD said: "The UK has worked closely on both the F-35 and carrier programmes with the US, our pre-eminent partner within Nato, enabling us to fly aircraft from each other’s ships.

"Both of the UK’s new carriers will be able to operate alongside Nato and coalition allies."

Its first deployment with jets on board is 2021.

Captain Jerry Kyd said the commissioning of the flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth was "a proud day".

But where are the loos?
