TEN MEN ARRESTED IN TERROR RAIDS

Ten men have been arrested as part of a counter-terrorism operation across the north west of England.
The BBC has learned addresses are being raided by officers in the Cheetham Hill area of Manchester.
Counter-terrorism officers also targeted a building at Liverpool John Moores University and a guest house in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
Officers from the North West Counter-Terrorism Unit carried out the raids with support from other forces.
Merseyside Police, Greater Manchester Police and Lancashire Constabulary are helping carry out the series of raids which were launched on Wednesday afternoon.
BBC correspondent Nick Ravenscroft said a Greater Manchester Police spokesman would not comment when asked whether the police action was in response to a suspected terrorist operation in the UK or overseas.
Nor would he be drawn on whether the suspected threat was imminent, saying only that the police had taken action at an "appropriate" time, our correspondent said.
