Abdelbasset Al Megrahi was convicted of murdering the 270 victims but his co-accused Al Amin Khalifah Fhimah was found not guilty.

The pair are due to appear at Swansea Magistrates' Court on 8 May.British actor Idris Elba has told the BBC that he will relocate to Africa within the next decade as part of his plans to support the continent’s movie industry.

The 52-year-old star of the hit series The Wire is behind nascent projects toas well as one in the Ghanaian capital, Accra.Born in London, Elba, whose mother is from Ghana and father from Sierra Leone, has a strong attachment to Africa.

He wants to leverage his star power to back its burgeoning film business as he says it is vital that Africans get to tell their own stories."I would certainly consider settling down here; not even consider, it’s going to happen," he said in an interview on the sidelines of an industry meeting in Accra.

"I think [I’ll move] in the next five, 10 years, God willing. I’m here to bolster the film industry - that is a 10-year process - I won’t be able to do that from overseas. I need to be in-country, on the continent."

But in the spirit of Pan-Africanism he will not commit to living in a specific place.In 2023 the overspend on staffing in total was £1.8m, according to Mr Smith.

He said "we will do what we can to try to manage ahead to find small efficiencies, which will hopefully save hundreds of thousands of pounds".The cost of agency staff was the main driver behind the overspend, it was revealed.

Bin lorry drivers in Birmingham could have their pay cut by up to £8,000 under new proposals, their union said, asenters its eighth week.
