Search of superyacht wreckage - Divers searching the wreckage of the superyacht which sank off the coast of Sicily on Monday have found the bodies of five of the six missing passengers. The Italian Coastguard has not formally identified the bodies, but rescuers have spent days searching for four Britons and two Americans. These include Mike Lynch - the UK tech entrepreneur, his daughter Hannah Lynch, the chairman of Morgan Stanley Bank International Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy Bloomer. Italian authorities have so far declined to identify those recovered, despite reports from local and international media on some of their names. Of the 22 people on board, 15 survived. The passengers aboard were guests of Mr Lynch - founder of the software giant Autonomy - and were reportedly there to celebrate his acquittal in a massive US fraud case. Mr Lynch was acquitted in June of multiple fraud charges relating to the $11bn (£8.6bn) sale of Autonomy to the US computing giant Hewlett-Packard in 2011.
Outcry following wish from late French actor Alain Delon - Following an outcry from animal rights campaigners a request made by the late French actor Alain Delon has been rejected by his children. The actor, who died aged 88 on Sunday, had expressed his wish to have his pet dog put down and buried with him in his grave in the cemetery of his home in the village of Douchy in the Loiret. The Brigitte Bardot Foundation said on Wednesday that Delon’s daughter Anouchka had confirmed the family would be keeping the dog.
