A sixth-former from south London has been used as a body double for France's World Cup star Paul Pogba.

Efeme Temienor had previously been told by his friends and family how much he looked like the footballer.

But the resemblance proved to be unexpectedly valuable, with Efeme being paid to stand in for Pogba in an Adidas advert.

The 17-year-old is going to use his fee to help fund his ambition to go to university.

Hackney Council has agreed to take the government to court after being told to stop publishing its taxpayer-funded freesheet Hackney Today more than four times per year.

At a meeting last night the council's cabinet agreed to seek a judicial review if local government secretary James Brokenshire "maintains the current directions" instructing the council to cut Hackney Today from fortnightly to quarterly.

The government has repeatedly said Hackney Today violates the Publicity Code and in April ordered the council to switch to quarterly publication by September 2018.

The council argues the direction was issued unlawfully, and adds that cutting back publication would cost the council money and harm disadvantaged groups which could not access council information online. The legal challenge would involve "co-operation and cost-sharing" with Waltham Forest Council, which announced a similar plan earlier this month after receiving the same direction about its own freesheet, Waltham Forest News.

Hackney Council and Waltham Forest are the only two local authories in London to still publish fortnightly freesheets after Tower Hamlets scrapped East End Life in 2016.

The cabinet also agreed to continue to publish Hackney Today in the meantime "notwithstanding the purported directions" from the government.

To mark the anniversary, those involved in the haze of The Stones' riverside gigs in south-west London that summer speak to BBC News about their memories and explain just why it was so special.

Thames Water and three other suppliers have been accused of "badly letting down" their customers following the winter storm nicknamed the Beast from the East.

The regulator Ofwat said more than 200,000 customers were left without water for more than four hours and tens of thousands were cut off for days.

It accused firms of bad planning, communication and a lack of support.

In a statement issued on behalf of the four worst performers, industry body Water UK said fewer than 3% of all customers in England and Wales were affected by supply disruptions during the extreme weather.

However, it acknowledged significant numbers had experienced "disruption and hardship".
