Ciaran Maxwell

Ex-Royal Marine Ciaran Maxwell, who lived a double life as a bomb-maker for dissident Irish republicans, has been jailed for 18 years.
Maxwell, 31, made 43 purpose-built hides across England and Northern Ireland, in which he stashed anti-personnel mines, mortars, ammunition and 14 pipe bombs - four of which were later used.
As well as bomb-making materials, a Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) pass card, a PSNI uniform and a police stab-proof vest were found in barrels and buckets buried in the ground.

The former guerrilla leader extends his 17 years of rule by securing a huge majority of the vote. Rwandan President Paul Kagame has secured a third term in office with around 98% of votes, partial results have showed. With 80% of votes accounted for, the 59-year-old former guerrilla leader has extended his 17 years in power of the east African nation.

Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party - the only permitted critical opposition party - won 0.45% of votes and independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana scored 0.72.

The collapse of the Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange for bitcoin followed the alleged theft of almost £387m in the cryptocurrency. The CEO of a Bitcoin exchange which lost millions of dollars worth of the cryptocurrency has pleaded not guilty to charges relating to the loss. Mark Karpeles, a 32-year-old French national, was answering charges of embezzlement and data manipulation at the Tokyo District Court. In court in Tokyo, the CEO's defence explained that a transfer of just over £2m from an account which managed customers' funds to an external account was not embezzlement, but a legitimate transfer based on the company's revenue.
