    It was a weekend of disappointment for Mansfield Town - after a penalty shoot out ended their dream of promotion this season.

    The League two play-off semi final yesterday against Newport County finished nil-nil after extra time, and one-all on aggregate. But the Stags were beaten five-three on penalties.

    Broadcaster Danny Baker performed his first live show since a tweet which led to accusations of racism and him being sacked by the BBC.

    The show at Nottingham's Theatre Royal ended with a standing ovation and Baker describing it as "one of the greatest nights of my career".

    He addressed "the elephant in the room" at the start, describing his tweet about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's baby as "revolting" and "misjudged".

    However, he again denied being racist.

    The whole project is expected to cost £11.3m, but has met with some opposition from Historic England, which said the plans do not make a "positive contribution to the local character" of the area.

    Police are investigating after a car was found with a damaged windscreen and bonnet following reports of gunshots in Top Valley.

    No-one was inside when it happened at around 00:10 this morning in Meregill Close and police believe no-one was hurt, but they are appealing for witnesses.

    It comes the day after a 21-year-old was arrested for a shooting in Bilborough, in which a man inside a vehicle was injured.
