The new chairwoman of the Parole Board has said it is a "significant concern" that none of its 240 members is black.

Caroline Corby said just 13 members of the board, which decides the release of the most serious offenders in England and Wales, was from an ethnic minority.

She said "unconscious bias" had affected recruitment for the board.

Mrs Corby replaced Nick Hardwick, who was forced to quit after the High Court overturned the board's decision to free serial sex offender John Worboys.

In her first interview since her appointment, she said the Worboys case had caused a "loss of confidence" among board members.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan claims it will take 10 years to solve knife crime in the city - with five people, including three teenagers, being killed in the space of a week.

The Austria forward says he could have followed an "easy" path into trouble during his childhood in a tough area of Vienna.

Now the "kid who was not listening a lot" wants his voice to be heard - through West Ham's new 'Players' Project', in which the club will invest £10m over three years and every squad member is given a specific community project to work on.
