Two people have died in China’s southwest region of Guangxi after a 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck on Monday morning, forcing thousands of residents to evacuate.

One person has been missing and more than 7,000 residents have been evacuated from Liuzhou city after the earthquake damaged buildings and disrupted transport services.

Search and rescue operations have been launched since the earthquake hit the city of Liuzhou in the early hours of Monday, according to Chinese state media.

According to the China Earthquake Networks Centre (CENC) the earthquake struck at a depth of 8km at 0.21am local time in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

There were two confirmed deaths, while one person remained missing, state broadcaster CCTV and state news agency Xinhua reported. Four people were taken to the hospital, although none suffered life-threatening injuries.

CCTV said 13 buildings collapsed following the quake, prompting large-scale evacuation efforts across affected areas of the city.

Greggs, Costa, and Simply Fresh have been confirmed as tenants in the station’s brand new building, which finally opened to the public today (Sunday, May 17). 

The sausage roll chain will take up the largest shop in the concourse at 148 square metres, followed by Simply Fresh, which will boast 79 sq m of space. 

Costa will take up a 36 sq m kiosk near the exit to the two new platforms, which is also expected to have a small seating area with tables and chairs.

New signs have now gone up in the windows of each store teasing their arrival – although it is not currently known when each store will open. 

This will mark Greggs’ ninth store in the town, with the pastry chain having shops on Northgate, High Row, the Cornmill Shopping Centre, Skinnergate, and at Morton Park.

Coffee firm Costa – which has sites on Northgate and on Sainsburys on Victoria Road – already has one kiosk within the historic station. 

It is not yet known whether the current kiosk in the station will remain once the new shop opens in the new concourse.

For Simply Fresh, an upmarket and healthy firm known for focusing on local and best of British products, this will be its first shop in the town. 

The new concourse is arguably the standout of the major £140m redevelopment project, complete with its new entrance and 650-space car park.

An elevated walkway connects the new concourse to the existing historic station, which has also been given a facelift and will soon boast a modernised western entrance.

The extension to the station has been designed to “mould the historic grandeur of the Grade-ll listed station” with modern facilities and waiting areas. 

The overhaul is intended to improve reliability and capacity on the East Coast Main Line, improving the frequency and reliability of trains along the line and across the region.

The Tees Valley Combined Authority has contributed £43million to the overhaul while Network Rail and the Department for Transport put in £96million.

Missiles were thrown at cops and two officers were badly injured during the carnage.

Glasgow City Council has slammed the ’embarrassing’ scenes in the city centre as Celtic fans celebrated winning the league.

Around 3000 Hoops fans descended on the Trongate area after Celtic clinched the league in the dying moments of the campaign despite a warning from the council to stay away.

The situation quickly turned ugly and riot cops were called in after missiles – including glass bottles – were launched in the direction of officers.

Some cops were targeted while they assisted with a medical emergency. The force has since confirmed that of the two injured officers, one cop suffered a “significant” facial injury during the carnage while the other was left severely bruised.

A total of 14 arrests have since been made – ten of which were related to Celtic fans gathering in the Trongate area following the match, while four were at the stadium itself. Three members of the public required hospital treatment.

Glasgow City Council said the thugs let down their ‘city, club and fellow fans.’

A spokesperson said: “After the title deciding match at Celtic Park, the vast majority of fans celebrated in the right way. Fans also overwhelmingly observed the request to stay away from Trongate or moved on quickly. “However, the behaviour of some people in the aftermath of yesterday’s match was, quite frankly, an embarrassment. They let down the city, their club and their fellow fans. “Those involved – yesterday and over recent years – know the impact that they have on local communities and businesses. They do not care. We will continue to offer whatever support we can to the city’s clubs to facilitate safe and sustainable celebrations that will be meaningful to fans. “We have regularly met with the police and Celtic for nearly a year to discuss the relationship between the city and Celtic, including victory celebrations. We expect those meetings to continue in the coming weeks. “But, right now, it is time for those who go out of their way to cause damage and disruption to be held accountable. After a significant clear-up operation, temporary road closures were lifted around 11pm on Saturday night.”

The offer is part of Northern’s 150th anniversary celebrations for the famous Settle to Carlisle railway line.

A total of 15,000 single tickets are available for journeys between Leeds, Settle, and Carlisle, with travel valid from May 22 to July 17.

Alex Hornby, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: “The Settle to Carlisle Railway is famous around the world for its spectacular scenery and community engagement.

“We want as many people as possible to share in the experience of this wonderful line, which is why we’re offering everyone the chance to travel for just £1.50 during the 150th anniversary year.”

Tickets can be purchased online, at station ticket offices, or through ticket machines.

The route passes through the Pennine hills, the Yorkshire Dales, and Cumbria’s Eden Valley, crossing the iconic 24-arch Ribblehead Viaduct.

Named one of Europe’s top 10 most scenic train journeys by Lonely Planet, Northern recorded 995,000 passenger journeys in 2025.

Pete Myers, chairman of the Settle Carlisle Railway Development Company, said: “We are delighted that even more people will be able to experience this journey thanks to Northern’s £1.50 tickets.”

“I got stabbed on the shoulder first”, he tells BBC Sport.

“I remember jumping over the table, jumping over the chairs. I was just running down the corridor, telling people, ‘there’s a guy with a knife, run, I’ve been stabbed, run, run, run’. I was screaming. I think I was the first person that got stabbed. I felt the pain. But adrenaline kicked in.

“That split second, me jumping over the table, saved me. All I thought about was just running for my life, getting off that train. As I got down to the first or second carriage, I pulled the alarm, and was just drenched with blood.”

“I was thinking I wasn’t going to see my family again, if I died, and that was the main worry for me”, he says. “Normally I would drive back down to London. That was the first time I got on a train to go back. What’s the chance of that happening? It’s crazy.”

The train made an emergency stop at Huntingdon where it was met by armed police. Having been given first aid by a fellow passenger, Gjoshe managed to get himself out to the station car park, from where paramedics rushed him to hospital.

It was only after surgery that he learned he had sustained seven wounds to his bicep, shoulder and arm.

The knife, he was told by the medics, “had gone through my muscles” coming fractionally close to hitting a nerve in his arm.

When asked if he feared his footballing career could be over, he says, “I was very worried. Just thinking, ‘what damage has happened to me?’ I didn’t have a clue until I had the surgery. They said, ‘It’s not much from the nerve. You’re very lucky’.”

In the days that followed, Gjoshe recalls: “They had to move me from ward to ward because of the media that were coming there looking for me.”

Having been released from hospital, Gjoshe faced several months of rehab, only returning to full training in March, something he describes as “a big relief. I started to get the movement of my arm, day by day it was getting better. It was an amazing feeling”.

Despite handling what he has been through with impressive stoicism, Gjoshe has not been on a train since the mass stabbing.

“I wouldn’t want to now. You just never know know. It’s best to be safe. I just can’t trust anything now”, he says.

McIlroy finished tied seventh in the end on a frustrating day for the Holywood
man. He only hit four of 14 fairways and struggled off the tee all day.

Rory McIlroy’s bid for back to back majors in 2026 fell short at Aronimink as England’s Aaron Rai stormed to USPGA glory.

The unheralded Wolverhampton man caught fire during the final round of the second major of the year to claim his first major.

McIlroy finished tied seventh in the end on a frustrating day for the Holywood man. He only hit four of 14 fairways and struggled off the tee all day.

His frustrations boiled over on the par five 16th hole when he was going for broke.

His tee shot found the rough, just like his approach. He tried to take on the green, over a bunker, with his third but found the sand.

No sooner had he made contact with the club, than a spectator roared out. McIlroy turned in anger and told the fan to ‘shut the f*** up’.

That prompted Sky Sports to apologise for the x-rated mouthful.

The Masters champion then informed security, pinpointing the fan and asking for him to be removed from the course.

McIlroy managed to make par from there, but finished on -4, five behind runaway leader Rai.

The English star embraced his wife, Gaurika, after the round of his life at Aronimink.

The Wensleydale Railway will host the three-day event at Leeming Bar Station from May 23 to 25, featuring heritage diesel services running to Scruton, Bedale, Finghall Lane, and Leyburn.

A special timetable will be in place throughout the weekend.

Nick Keegan, marketing and fundraising manager at Wensleydale Railway, said: “Our annual diesel gala is a great opportunity for us to operate a special timetable and showcase some of our heritage diesel locomotives, and stunning scenery, to the public. 3 of our home diesel fleet will take part in this event, alongwith a visiting guest locomotive, number 37421. We are very grateful to our friends at Colas Rail forallowing the use of their locomotive.”

The proposed roster includes Class 37 locomotives 37250 and 37421, Class 47 (47714), and a Class 121 ‘bubble car’ (55032).

All are subject to availability.

Passengers can purchase a ‘Ranger’ ticket for £25, which offers unlimited travel across the network for the entire day, with the flexibility to hop on and off at any station.

Standard return and single fares are also available, and children aged three to 15 can travel for just £1 when accompanied by a fare-paying adult.

Tickets can be booked online or purchased in person at station ticket offices on the day of travel.

Catering will be available at Leeming Bar, where a static buffet car will offer hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, snacks and souvenirs.

The Engine Shed Brewery will also be serving draught and bottled craft beers on the station platform.

Leyburn Station’s tearoom will be open throughout the event, offering drinks, snacks, confectionery and what organisers describe as Mandy’s “world-famous” cakes.

Visitors will also be able to browse the station’s gift shop, which stocks a variety of railway books and memorabilia.

Scruton Station will also be open for the duration of the gala.

Mr Keegan said: “In addition to Leeming Bar, Bedale and Leyburn, Scruton Station will be open during the weekend so don’t miss the opportunity to come and visit this beautifully restored Edwardian station.

“Step back in time at this delightful example of a small rural station, tour the beautifully restored station building and enjoy a living museum experience with our wonderful team of period-customed volunteers as you learn about railway life in the 1900s.”

Wensleydale Railway is a 22-mile volunteer-led heritage line running between Scruton, near Northallerton, and Leyburn on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The railway offers a family-friendly day out through scenic countryside, with the chance to explore restored historic stations and learn about early 20th-century railway life.

The railway is currently working to reopen the line from Leyburn to Redmire—a section closed since 2020 due to poor track and infrastructure conditions.

Efforts include fundraising and ongoing maintenance in hopes of restoring services by the end of 2027.

The Wensleydale Railway Trust, the organisation’s charitable branch, focuses on education and the conservation of railway heritage for public benefit.

It supports the railway’s operational needs and provides funding for key projects, including track repairs and infrastructure maintenance.

The trust also oversees a National Lottery-funded heritage education programme for schools and the broader community.
