Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian PM who bounced back from sex scandals and corruption allegations, has died aged 86.

He died at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan, according to Italian media.

In April he was treated for a lung infection linked to a previously undisclosed case of chronic leukaemia.

A flamboyant billionaire media tycoon, Berlusconi first came to office in 1994 and led four governments until 2011.

Former England prop Paul Rendall has died at the age of 69 after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease last year.

He won 28 caps for his country and played at the 1987 and 1991 Rugby World Cups.

England Rugby tweeted that Rendall was a "much-loved team-mate and fan favourite".

Playing in a front row alongside Brian Moore and Jeff Probyn, Rendall made his first cap against Wales in 1984.

RIP <rose>
