Niki Lauda, racing 'role model', dies aged 70

The Austrian driver Niki Lauda, who has died aged 70, will be remembered for winning three Formula 1 titles. But particularly remarkable was the second of them, which came in 1977, a year after he had been badly burned in a crash at Germany's Nurburgring. At one point he was given the last rites, but he recovered quickly enough to be back racing 40 days after receiving his injuries.

Lauda, whose rivalry with British driver James Hunt was dramatised in the 2013 film Rush, went on to become a successful businessman, including running an airline. He died nine months after undergoing a lung transplant. Lauda's family called him "a role model and a benchmark for all of us". Here's the story of his life.

Brexit: Hammond warns of 'hijack' by no deal supporters

Chancellor Philip Hammond will use a speech later today to the CBI business group to warn Conservatives not to allow a "hijacking" by the "populist right" by accepting that a clean break with the EU is the only "truly legitimate Brexit". The intervention comes ahead of Prime Minister Theresa May discussing her plans with the cabinet, with a vote on her Withdrawal Agreement Bill due in early June.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has said leaving the EU without a deal is the "only way" to deliver the result of the 2016 referendum. But former Deputy Prime Minister Lord Heseltine, a Europhile, has lost the Conservative whip after saying he will vote Liberal Democrat in Thursday's European elections in protest at his party's stance.

'It's like the cruellest joke you've heard'

By Rebecca Woods

Lynette Parkes' pregnancy had been plain sailing. The customary scans at 12 and 20 weeks had shown a healthy baby boy. The home she shared with her husband Matt in Hagley, Worcestershire, was prepared for his arrival. The nursery was decorated, the crib ready and waiting for its first little occupant.

But at seven months, Lynette went to hospital after spotting a "pinprick" of blood. The couple expected to be told all was well and sent home again. But instead of the sonographer quickly picking up the heartbeat, there was silence. A scan confirmed their worst fears; their baby had died.
