The body of a rugby league star who realised his dream by playing in the UK Super League has been found in bushland near his home in America over a year after he went missing. Bryn Hargreaves played over 200 games for Wigan, Leigh Centurions, St Helens and Bradford Bulls over a near decade-long career. He announced his retirement in September 2012 before emigrating to the United States, but not before making it clear he was "angry" with his treatment at the end of his career. He said he was "disillusioned by events off the field" adding that rugby league had chewed him up and spat him out.

The drunk and drugged driver who killed four children walking along a Sydney footpath to buy ice-creams has failed in his final bid to reduce his sentence.

Davidson was driving erratically and speeding when he struck Veronique Sakr, 11, and her cousins, Sienna Abdallah, eight, and her siblings Angelina, 12, and Antony, 13.

French President Emmanuel Macron has imposed a highly unpopular bill raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 by shunning parliament and invoking a special constitutional power. Lawmakers were shouting, their voices shaking with emotion as Macron made the risky move, which is expected to trigger quick motions of no-confidence in his government. Riot police vans zoomed by outside the National Assembly, their sirens wailing. The proposed pension changes have prompted major strikes and protests across the country since January. Macron, who made it the flagship of his second term, argued the reform is needed to keep the pension system from diving into deficit as France's population ages and life expectancy lengthens.
