Organisers of the Brighton Half Marathon have apologised after it was revealed the course has been 146 metres (0.09 miles) short for the past three years.

An investigation was launched after British Athletics analysed GPS data.

"We're devastated that this mistake has happened," said the race organisers.

"We take full responsibility for this situation and apologise unreservedly to all runners who took part in the affected years."

It is the latest in a series of measuring errors which have affected high-profile mass participation races.

The 2016 Great Scottish Run half-marathon course in Glasgow  was found to be about 150m short  after it was re-measured.

The error meant the record set by winner Callum Hawkins was invalid as were personal best times recorded by runners.

Times from the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Greater Manchester Marathon  were also discounted,  affecting about 24,000 runners, after the course was found to be 380m too short.

It happened yesterday just before 16:00 BST.

By the time the Shoreham lifeboat arrived at the scene the two people on board had swum ashore and the plane had sunk.

When the tide went out part of the tail emerged in the water and the crew was able to attach a line, pull it to the shoreline and up the beach.

Staff at the University of Brighton are striking today over working conditions. 

Members of the University and College Union - including professors and lecturers - say they're walking out from lunchtime in a dispute over job losses. They're also planning to walk out for two days next month. 

The University says the action is unnecessary and it will be doing everything to minimise the impact on students.

Today is the last day that Coperforma runs patient transport services in Sussex. From tomorrow, South Central Ambulance Service takes over the contract.

Coperforma handed the contract back to the NHS in November after delays, problems with technology and issues with subcontractors.  

I've been speaking to the deputy chief executive of the new providers, who tells me that although it's been a tricky transition, South Central has it under control.
