The government reversed its decision to include manslaughter in an early prison release scheme, meaning the killers of PC Andrew Harper will remain in prison. The prime minister confirmed the change after public pressure, and PC Harper's family welcomed it but said campaigning had been traumatic. The policy now also excludes other offences, and some prisoners with indefinite sentences will be released to create space.
The number of British nationals missing after flash flooding in Nepal and Tibet has risen to at least 48, with 15 missing in Tibet and 33 in Nepal. The confirmed death toll is approaching 800. Rescuers are working in difficult conditions, and a girl was pulled alive from mud after three days. Separately, at least eight people died when a passenger ferry capsized off Northern Cyprus, with 17 still missing; the captain and crew have been taken into custody.
A search is also underway for two French fishermen missing after their trawler sank in the Channel, with three crew members rescued. Manchester United fans honoured PC Matthew Blades, who was killed in a car crash, as his sons led the team out.
