The deal - one of the biggest this year - still needs approval from regulators. If the takeover goes through, it would combine AT&T's distribution network with content from the Warner Brothers film studios and the cable TV channels HBO and CNN. AT&T's chairman described it as "a perfect match" but critics say it concentrates too much media power. 'Complementary strengths' The deal is likely to be closely scrutinised by US antitrust regulators. AT&T is already the third largest cable TV provider in the US. Randall Stephenson, who is both chairman and chief executive of AT&T, said he did not anticipate any regulatory obstacles, saying any concerns could be overcome if concessions were made. "This is a perfect match of two companies with complementary strengths who can bring a fresh approach to how the media and communications industry works for customers, content creators, distributors and advertisers," he said. Analysis: Joe Lynam, BBC correspondent AT&T has the means by which millions of Americans consume their entertainment. It owns the platform - be that cable or broadband - which enables people to watch their favourite shows. But it does not - until now- own the shows or the "content" which households want to watch, be that Game of Thrones, CNN or live NBA basketball. Buying Time Warner, which we should not confuse with Time Warner Cable, allows AT&T to become a full service media provider and one of the more important companies in the world. It allows a newly-merged entity to steal a march on the likes of Verizon or Comcast in a very competitive US market. But the deal may never happen. It could be deemed anti-competitive by regulators because AT&T already owns mobile phone, broadband and cable TV networks, and allowing it to control the shows as well might deprive consumers of choice. An AT&T statement said that aim of the deal was to give customers "unmatched choice, quality, value and experiences that will define the future of media and communications" and the new company would "lead the next wave of innovation in converging media and communications industry". Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said if he is elected, he will block the deal. "It's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few," he said on Saturday, before the deal was confirmed. AT&T will pay $107.50 for each Time Warner share, in a combination of cash and stock, worth $85.4bn overall, according to a statement. AT&T said it expected the deal to be completed by the end of 2017. Other media company shares, including Discovery, AMC, Netflix and CBS, recently rose as investors speculated that a deal could spark a fresh wave of takeovers and mergers among media and technology companies. AT&T, which has a market value of about $238bn, has already made moves to turn itself into a media powerhouse, buying satellite TV provider DirecTV last year for $48.5bn. Time Warner chief executive Jeff Bewkes has, however, resisted selling in the past. The company rejected an $80bn offer from Twenty-First Century Fox Inc in 2014. The deal gives AT&T access to a major producer of content as it seeks to diversify away from its core telecoms business. Rival Verizon is currently in negotiations to buy Yahoo and has already bought AOL, owner of Huffington Post. Some analysts, however, question whether AT&T needs to mount a complete takeover of Time Warner.

From Monday, garden centres and recycling centres can reopen as part of NI's recovery plan from lockdown. Mrs Dodds, the Economy Minister, said the first and deputy first ministers will make more announcements about lifting other measures on Monday. "We're in a good place, we're reacting to the science," she said. Speaking at the executive's daily press conference on Friday, Mrs Dodds said people must still adhere to social distancing, and that her focus was now on trying to return the Northern Ireland economy to a strong position. She has been working on an additional paper with additional proposals for businesses that will be brought to the executive next week. Her statement came after the latest figures from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (Nisra) revealed there had been 599 coronavirus-related deaths in the week up to 8 May - almost half of those were in care homes. Mrs Dodds also gave more details about a £40m scheme for small businesses that have not, so far, qualified for coronavirus grant support, first announced on 5 May. It is being targeted at micro businesses, which are usually firms with fewer than 10 employees. The minister said Invest NI would publish eligibility criteria on Friday night and the scheme will open to applications within the next seven days. Many small businesses have qualified for £10,000 grants, while larger businesses in some sectors will get £25,000. The £25,000 grant will be expanded to allow businesses that occupy rented properties to access support. Mrs Dodds said 22,500 small businesses have accessed support through various schemes so far, totalling almost a quarter of a billion pounds. 'Non-negotiable' On the issue of workplace safety during the pandemic, Mrs Dodds said employers had a "non-negotiable" duty to meet their responsibilities. "They must provide a safe and proper environment for people to work in," she added. Earlier this week, it emerged that the Health and Safety Executive has fielded complaints about approximately 480 firms during the Covid-19 lockdown. The body, which was criticised for not inspecting sites in response to social-distancing concerns in the workplace, said such visits are now under way. The figures are a measure of the challenge faced by employers and employees as society contemplates a widespread return to work. Why does the R-rate matter for lifting lockdown? The R-value - or reproduction number - is at the heart of the executive's decision to keep the lockdown in place, until at least the end of May, only lifting a small number of measures that bring the least risk. R refers to the average number of people that someone with Covid-19 is expected to infect after contracting the virus. The goal is to keep R under one. Last week, Mrs Foster said the R-rate in NI was sitting at "below 0.7", falling from between 0.8 and 0.9 in the previous two weeks. The Department of Health said the R-rate is calculated mostly on intensive care occupancy and hospital admissions, but that care home cases have essentially "no impact" on it. The executive's Chief Scientific Adviser, Prof Ian Young, has said the R-number in care homes across Northern Ireland is "significantly above 1.0 at the moment".

Mr Liu, a human rights campaigner, was jailed in 2009 on subversion charges for calling for greater democracy. His lawyer says he is being treated in hospital in northern Liaoning Province after being diagnosed a month ago. His wife Liu Xia has been under house arrest since her husband won the award in 2010 but has never been charged. Liu Xiaobo, 61, was a key leader in the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. The Chinese authorities have never explained why they have restricted his wife's movements. Mr Liu's brother confirmed the Nobel laureate had been diagnosed with cancer on 23 May, his lawyer Mo Shaoping told the South China Morning Post. He was released days later and is now being treated in the northern city of Shenyang. "He has no special plans. He is just receiving medical treatment for his illness," Mo Shaoping told AFP news agency. A statement from the government in Liaoning said Mr Liu had been released on medical parole and was being treated by eight tumour experts. Fighting for change from within - Stephen McDonell, BBC News, Beijing Most people in China have never heard of Liu Xiaobo due to the censorship of discussion about him here. That it could take a month for news of his release to become public gives you an idea of the level of sensitivity. It also shows that his transfer to hospital by no means guarantees his friends and family will be able to visit. After the brutal crackdown in and around Tiananmen Square in 1989 Mr Liu was driven to the front gate of the Australian embassy and an Australian diplomat said that he had to choose in or out. He decided not to leave, believing he could be more effective trying to make change from within. This commitment to a very different China has led to him paying a terrible price. The Nobel committee described Liu Xiaobo as "the foremost symbol" of the human rights struggle in China. He never collected his prize and was represented by an empty chair. The Chinese government, which regards him as a criminal, was infuriated by the award. Diplomatic ties with Norway were frozen. Relations were normalised only last December. Mr Liu has three years left to serve of an 11-year sentence for "inciting subversion" after drafting Charter 08 - which called for multi-party democracy and respect for human rights in China. Amnesty International said he should never have been jailed. It urged China to ensure he received "adequate medical care, effective access to his family and that he and all others imprisoned solely for exercising their human rights are immediately and unconditionally released".
