The Appeal Court has found in favour of a jockey who was badly injured in a fall at Cheltenham racecourse seven years ago, but said the applicability of health and safety law in the case meant it was not an "easy" decision.

Global defence company BAE Systems has been ordered to pay almost £350,000 in fines and costs after a worker was crushed to death inside a metal press.

A worker at a metal recycling plant was crushed to death when he was pinned against a steel column by a wheeled loading shovel.
