[Q]: The man was shot during the early hours of Sunday, in Bromsgrove, after police were called to reports of a man in possession of a handgun. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said the man was shot "moments" after police arrived at the scene. West Mercia Police referred itself to the watchdog. The 53-year-old's man's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. He received first aid at the scene and has since undergone surgery. 'In the bushes' The IOPC said armed police responded to separate reports of a man seen in possession of a handgun and the man was found by armed police on The Tryst, off Birmingham Road, after he was seen "in bushes acting suspiciously." "Moments later shots were fired by two armed officers," the IOPC said. The IOPC has overseen forensic examinations, during which a non-issue police weapon was been recovered from the scene. Chief Constable Martin Evans, from West Mercia Police, said the deployment of firearms by police are "always difficult circumstances" in which "we rely on our firearms officers' judgement and decision making skills". No-one else was hurt during the incident. Related Internet Links Independent Office for Police Conduct West Mercia Police

[Q]: By Martin BarberBBC News, Norfolk Kieron Williamson, from Ludham, whose latest exhibition opened in Holt on Friday, has sold more than 30 pieces from the show for nearly £450,000. The first 23 pieces released to buyers sold for £242,095 in less than 20 minutes. A gallery spokesman said Williamson's "raw talent" was "unrivalled". Kieron started painting aged five when he asked his parents to buy him a drawing pad while on holiday in Cornwall. Presenting his work publicly for the first time in 2010, when just seven years old, the exhibition sold out within minutes for £150,000. 'Famous painters' Nicknamed after the French Impressionist Claude Monet, Kieron's work is now highly sought after by collectors around the world with some pieces held in the Royal Collection. Adrian Hill, from the Picturecraft Gallery, said the paintings were "impressionist without being abstract" creating "a natural balance to his work". Mr Hill said Kieron was following in the footsteps of the great painters like Picasso and Giotto. "Picasso was nine years old when he had his first exhibition, Giotto was discovered by a merchant when he was 11 years old drawing in the mud and went on to become one of the most famous Renaissance painters of all time. "These guys had a raw natural talent, they could mix colour, they had an ability to draw perspective and proportion - Kieron just has this ability to put those things together in a very natural way." Michelle Williamson, Kieron's mother, said for the first time she had seen collectors explore the young artist's "investment potential". "He's unrivalled by any other 10-year-old artist in the world and the support for him is overwhelming," she said. "Before people would have been happy with just one example of his work, now it seems collectors are buying a number of his pieces at a time because of their investment potential."
[A]: A 10-year-old landscape artist from Norfolk, dubbed the "mini-Monet", has boosted the earnings from sales of his work to almost £2m.


[Q]: Nottingham City Council set up the not-for-profit Robin Hood Energy in 2015 to try to provide cheaper energy. But by March 2019, the company had lost £34.4m despite large loans from the authority, external auditors Grant Thornton said. The leader of the council admitted there were failings in its governance. It comes as the council faces the impact of the coronavirus crisis, with 150 job cuts and the closure of a day centre for people with disabilities proposed last month in a bid to save £12.5m. The leader of the opposition called for the immediate resignation of a number of senior councillors over the council's "financial incompetence". 'Institutional blindness' The report criticised the authority for how it handled the company, into which it has invested £43m of public cash and provided £16.5m of guarantees. It said setting it up was "hugely ambitious" and the risks were not "sufficiently appreciated". The company had grown rapidly, with a turnover of almost £100m in the year 2018-19, but has made losses every year. The auditors said it has had to rely on help from the city's finances to keep going, although they recognised if the company had failed, it could have at one point cost the council up to £47.4m. They said despite the company's deteriorating financial position, the authority had "only very recently" moved away from "a determination to continue at any cost". The report said this meant the council had "significantly depleted its useable reserves" to support services. It accused the council of "institutional blindness" to the risks, adding: "This is not how local authorities should look after large amounts of public money." It recommended the future of the company be determined as a matter of urgency. David Mellen, leader of the Labour-run council, said they had the "best intentions" when they set it up in a bid to tackle fuel poverty. He said there had been changes in leadership at both the council and the company, and new measures were being introduced. But Andrew Rule, leader of the Conservative group, said: "This report is a damning indictment of the financial incompetence of the city council."
