French President Emmanuel Macron makes a national tv address after Prime Minister Michel Barnier was ousted in a no-confidence vote. The presidency says Barnier will remain in office on a caretaker basis with his ministers until a new government was appointed. But will anyone want the job seemed doomed to failure over cost-cutting tax-rising aims? 

Cash use in UK shops rose for a second year in a row after a decade of falls. According to retailers notes and coins were used in a fifth of transactions last year, as shoppers found cash helped them to budget better. The amount spent per purchase dropped slightly.

Prince Harry said his life in the US is what his mother Princess Diana would have "wanted" for him. He added his family were able to access a degree of privacy and freedom they "undoubtedly wouldn't be able to do in the UK" due to concerns around security.
