A court in the North has heard claims that a Co Derry solicitor tried to have a taxi driver who was injured in a shooting last year assassinated before he could speak to the police.

PSNI chief constable Hugh Orde is to be confronted next week over claims that the police secretly bugged a Co Derry solicitor during confidential meetings with his clients.

At least 10 people died and more than 100 were injured when 13 coaches of an express train derailed in northern India early today.
