YOUNG rider Gerard Clarke continued his barnstorming run in the HSI Chippison Spring Tour in Barnadown, Co Wexford.

Two British tourists were believed to be among three people killed in forest fires in southern France today that police said were started deliberately.

At least 2,500 people have been evacuated in France, most of them tourists staying at four Cote d’Azur campsites, as a fire tore through nearby forests.
