BREAKING: Venezuela's Cardon Oil refinery, the country's second largest at 310,000 barrels per day, has just unexpectedly exploded and caught fire, forcing a full shutdown.
The fire started at a gas line connecting the refinery's diesel hydrotreater and halted the whole plant, including the boilers, eight sources told Reuters.

Do you have a child who is in reception, foundation stage two (F2) or year six? You'll be receiving information soon from the school nursing service about the national child measurement programme as well as vision and hearing tests if your child is in F2 or reception.
@SchoolAthletics Field events are always the poor relation in terms of general coverage which is sad. The BBC almost always favour track events. Top marks to school games last year though. My son is a pole vaulter and coverage was excellent
@mikebreakfast do you remember interviewing Will Lane back in 2016? He has just competed in pole vault at the U18 European Athletics championships in Jerusalem. Unfortunately he had to retire after his pole broke spectacularly on the qualifying height for the final.
