Tesco is recalling jars of one of its own brand cooking sauces because of allergy fears.

Tesco’s own Creamy Leek and Bacon Cooking Sauce contains egg which is not mentioned on the label. This means it is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to egg.

The product recall applies to 470g jars with a best before end of July 2018 and batch code number 7031.

Anyone who purchased the product and has an allergy or intolerance to egg should not consume the sauce but return it to Tesco where they will receive a refund.

A solar eclipse is expected tonight (Monday), with some parts of the world seeing a TOTAL eclipse as the moon passes in between the Earth and the sun.

A total solar eclipse is due to bring parts of North America into darkness, giving 12 million people a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness this spectacular celestial event.

The total eclipse, where the moon covers the sun, will take place on Monday 21 August and will be at its peak in parts of America with the residents of Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina being in the ‘path of totality’, therefore getting the best visibility.

So what are our chances here in the UK?

Outside of the 110km path of the eclipse, sky-watchers will see a partial eclipse with decreasing percentages of the sun’s surface covered the further away you get from the ‘path of totality’.

Unfortunately the UK won’t see a perfect alignment of the moon and the sun, but the country is still expected to see a partial eclipse, where the moon partially covers the sun.

In areas of no cloud, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales should see the partial eclipse on Monday 21 August at 19:35. Those in northern parts of the country are expected to have the best visibility.

Because of the UK’s distance from the ‘path of totality’, only four per cent coverage of the sun is expected to be visible.

If that sounds underwhelming, NASA will be live streaming the total eclipse online, so you can witness the phenomenon for yourself.

Failing that Brits will need to wait a while longer for the next big eclipse as the UK’s next total eclipse isn’t expected until September 23, 2090.

Justin Edinburgh will take time to 'reflect and analyse' before deciding if he should make sweeping changes to his team, both tactically and on the personnel front, after they suffered their fourth straight defeat on Saturday.

Josh Magennis' early header put Charlton Athletic into a second-minute lead at The Valley before Ricky Holmes emphatically smashed in a second against his former club.

The Cobblers at least had the consolation of scoring their first goal of the season through Marc Richards' header but it came too late to influence the result, and in fact it was Charlton who finished strongly thanks to Jake Forster-Caskey's injury-time brace.

That condemned Northampton to a fourth successive loss and now means they have gone 12 games without victory going back to the end of last season.

That disappointing run of form has prompted obvious questions regarding whether or not Edinburgh should make alterations to his team.

So far he has stuck by 3-5-2 and picked a relatively consistent starting XI but his players have struggled to adapt and produce consistent, cohesive performances.

When asked if he'd be willing to change, Edinburgh said: "I don't want to be pinned down on anything. I've played different formations throughout my career as a manager and have done in my time here.

"I'll pick the team, the system, whatever I feel will win the game and that's what I'm doing.

"Do I reflect and do I look and analyse myself and the system? Of course I do. I'm not that stubborn or silly that I will continue to stick with a system until it gets a result.

"I'll look at it, analyse it and if it needs changing and I feel we need a different system to win a football match then absolutely I'll change."

Given the wealth of options available to him, Edinburgh may also feel the need to shake things up on the personnel front, especially with the likes of Regan Poole, Brendan Moloney and most recent recruit Matt Grimes pushing for starts.

"I need to reflect and I need to take my anger and emotion out of it, but I would think that there would be personnel changes going into the next game," Edinburgh added.

"I don't think that anyone could think otherwise. We've been busy over the summer putting together a squad that means we're able to make changes if there's a lack of form or results aren't what they should be."

Edinburgh's preparation for Saturday's game at The Valley was not helped by an injury to Chris Long in the warm-up and then also to Aaron Phillips barely 12 minutes in.

But the Town manager did not use that as an excuse, adding: "It disrupts your preparation and your planning but we've got players who've come in and took their places.

"I'm pleased for Rico for him to get on the score sheet and we had Brendan Moloney come in. It doesn't help but we have a squad that can cope with that and should be coping with that."

Finally, on Matty Taylor's exclusion from the matchday squad, Edinburgh explained: "Some situations are going on behind the scenes and as a club when we can make a further comment we will.

"But nothing has happened between myself and Matty, he just wasn't in a position to be in the squad."

She has been charged with arson with intent in connection with a blaze at an apartment block at West Cotton Close, Far Cotton.

Four fire engines and over a dozen firefighters were called out on Saturday (August 19) after a 999 call was made shortly after 9am.

Brendan Moloney believes ‘there is no better game’ for the Cobblers to put things right than the visit of rivals Peterborough United after Saturday’s 4-1 defeat at Charlton left ‘everyone hurting’.

Northampton’s poor start to the season reached new depths at The Valley where they were soundly beaten by the Addicks after Josh Magennis and Ricky Holmes netted in each half prior to Jake Forster-Caskey’s injury-time double.

That result has left the Cobblers floundering in the Sky Bet League One relegation zone with no points from three games.

“Everyone’s hurting,” admitted Moloney afterwards. “We went a goal down quite early which was tough to take and gave us an uphill challenge straightaway.

“We fought to get back into the game, we made it 2-1 and that gave us a chance but we conceded when we were throwing men forward.

“Everyone’s extremely, extremely disappointed in the dressing room, but we’re going to come in on Monday, we’re going to work hard, we’re going to stay together and there’s no better game than next week to put things right.

“No one likes losing and that’s three in a row now. We have a lot of new players and we’re all still learning off each other and we’re still gelling, but we’ve got to get in training and put things right at the weekend.”

Moloney’s display at right wing-back, having replaced the injured Aaron Phillips only 13 minutes in, was one of the few bright spots on an otherwise disappointing day, not that he was able to take away any personal joy.

He added: “To be honest we’ve lost the game and that’s all that’s in everyone’s mind. Performance-wise you’d rather play badly and win than the other way around.

“We’ll have a look at things on the video on Monday and we know we have a big game so we’ll make sure we put things right.”

The pressure ramps up a few notches this week with the visit of rivals Peterborough, who have won every game so far, but Moloney insists confidence in the Cobblers camp remains high.

“When you lose games it’s never great for people’s confidence but it’s about grinding out the next result and get things going,” he continued.

“When you’re winning games you’re full of confidence but if you let it get to you when things aren’t going your way you can suffer.

“We have a very strong group in the dressing room and that’s not just saying it – we do have a strong group and a good squad of players.

“Everyone is fully confident that we can start getting results.”

Traffic was held up along Mereway as people tried to navigate around the woman at about 11am this morning.

A member of the public, who one onlooker said was driving a black BMW, managed to make sure she was safely out of the road before police arrived at the scene. She was taken into a police car at the Tesco roundabout.

Eyewitnesses believe the woman was holding a screwdriver or a chisel at the time.

Jess Hornsey, 17, who was driving to Abington at the time of the incident, said she was concerned for the woman in gold paint.

She said: "I was a bit worried for her. I didn't know whether I should ring the police or not - or whether it was some sort of prank."

A spokesman for Northamptonshire Police said: "We were alerted by a member of the public who had seen a woman walking along Mereway.

"We attended and she has been taken to Northampton General Hospital."

The delays start just after junction 16 and stretch up to junction 17, according to reports from Highways England.

A spokesman for Northamptonshire Police said the delays were due to a collision involving five lorries at around 7.30am.

Ambulance crews and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue have attended the scene.

Traffic is also reportedly slow southbound as vehicles pass the scene.

Witnesses are being sought after a woman was assaulted in Corby in the early hours of Saturday morning (August 19).

The assault happened between 4.15am and 4.45am in Lyveden Way.

A police spokesman said: “The only description at this stage is the offender was black and wore a red T-shirt.”

Anyone with information about the attack call Northamptonshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers, in confidence, on 0800 555111.

The incident happened just outside the Old House pub at around 9pm last night (Sunday, August 20).

A taxi received extensive damage to the driver's side in the incident.

A spokesman for Northamptonshire Police confirmed that one man, aged 36, was taken to Northampton General Hospital with "minor injuries."

A man has been taken to hospital with serious injuries after being hit by a bus in Kettering.

The incident happened in Eskdaill Street, close to the corner of Newland Street, at 9am this morning (Monday).

The 81-year-old victim was hit by an X4 bus, which was turning in from Rockingham Road.

He was trapped under the bus and had to be freed by firefighters.

He was taken to hospital in Coventry, where he remains with serious injuries.

A spokesman for Stagecoach, who operate the X4, said they will investigate the incident fully.

The spokesman said: “I can confirm that a Stagecoach bus was involved in an incident this morning in Kettering town centre.

“Safety is our highest priority and we will be investigating the incident fully and helping police with their enquiries.”

Anyone with information or who witnessed this incident is asked to call the ‘Drivewatch Hotline’ on 0800 174615.

Paralympic gold medal swimmer Ellie Robinson enjoyed a different sort of sporting thrill on Saturday when she joined a Northampton parkrun as part of a nationwide initiative.

Following on from the UK’s biggest ever sports participation event I Am Team GB, #teamparkrun saw 100 of UK Sport’s National Lottery funded Olympic and Paralympic athletes involved in 5km parkrun events across the country.

And British swimmer Robinson laced up her running shoes and headed down to Northampton, joining her fellow athletes in showing their thanks for all the support they receive from the public, through The National Lottery.

Instead of leading from the front, Robinson instead took on the role of a tail walker, ensuring she, like the other athletes, brought up the rear in last place.

And while a variation on the pool, Robinson admitted she had loved every minute at Northampton Racecourse as hundreds of people turned out for the event.

"It was really good to see so many people, there was around 500 and I had no clue that many people would come so when I saw the crowd I was very happy,” she said.

"I was so happy to see so many involved, because we need more people to become active and sporty.

"If one person does it, then hopefully it will inspire others and that is what it was about. It is a great event and I am very happy to have taken part, the atmosphere was buzzing and there were a lot of people doing it for the first time which made it even better.

“I had a great reception from everyone there, it is nice to see everyone still being so kind to me and asking for photos and autographs.

“It is a year now since Rio and people are still looking out for us Paralympians.

“A lot of the time we get forgotten about after it a bit, and so it is nice people are still interested in para sport, follow us and support us.”

Parkrun takes place every Saturday at 9am in England and Wales and 9.30am in Scotland and Northern Ireland and offers a free and easy way to take your first steps into becoming more active.

Two-time Paralympic medallist Robinson knows more than most the importance of staying active and her swimming career has produced medals and special memories aplenty.

And knowing the sacrifices she also had to make, the 15-year-old admits she will always be indebted to those who supported her on her journey to the top.

"I wanted to do it because it is all about getting people back in sport, and giving back to the Lottery,” she added.

"Without their funding, us athletes would not have achieved what we have in our careers so it was a great chance to say thank you and show how grateful I am for everything they do.

“UK Sport do so much for us and the lottery is a big part of that. This was about giving something back to the people who have helped us, and hopefully we have helped them achieve something out on the course.”

The National Lottery players have been supporting sport since the very beginning. From thousands of community sports and fitness projects, right through to elite training and a whopping 848 Olympic and Paralympic medals - by playing, you’ve made it all possible.

A major UK supermarket could have infected thousands of people with a strain of hepatitis E through its pork sausages, says researchers at Public Health England (PHE).

The infection, which has seen an “increase in the number of non-travel cases” since 2010, is believed to have come from a British supermarket, only known as Supermarket X.

The discovery came after researchers found the consumption of ham and sausages from one particular supermarket to be the common denominator in people infected with the virus.

The infected pork is believed to have originated from Europe, most likely the Netherlands or Germany. The virus strain has not been found in British pigs according to the report published last month.

Includes ready-to-eat pre-packed sliced ham

Researchers Bengu Said and Professor Richard Tedder of PHE’s National Infection Service said, “The implicated products are pork sausages, which require cooking prior to consumption, and ready-to-eat pre-packed sliced ham.”

“Only Supermarket X, especially own brand, was significantly associated with HEV.”

The research paper discovered that as many as 150,000 to 200,000 people a year contract the HEV G3-2 strain of the virus from infected pork.

The researchers added, “The association with the supermarket does not infer any blame.”

Cook meats thoroughly

The HEV infection can cause flu like symptoms and result in liver failure, it can also prove particularly fatal in pregnant women.

An FSA spokesperson said that there is not a major risk of contracting the infection from meat though.

“The risk from acquiring hepatitis E virus (HEV) from eating thoroughly cooked pork or pork products is low.”

“As a precaution, the FSA advises consumers that all whole cuts of pork, pork products and offal should be thoroughly cooked until steaming hot throughout, the meat is no longer pink and juices run clear,” the FSA added.

Supermarket X

Although both the PHE and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) have refused to name Supermarket X, The Sunday Times have reported that it is Tesco.

In a statement Tesco said: “This particular research was carried out six years ago on a small number of people, and although it provided no direct link between specific products and hepatitis E we always take care to review research findings such as this.

“Food quality is really important to us and we have in place an expert team to ensure the highest possible standards at every stage of our supply chain, as well as providing clear information to customers on how to handle and cook pork in the home to minimise the risk of hepatitis E.”

The theft happened at Avalanche Adventure, in Sibbertoft, on July 22 though police have only released information today.

As a result of the incident, the centre has had its shotgun licence revoked by the Force's firearms licensing team.

The stolen guns are a 12-Bore Winchester Select, serial number 13BMP01545, a 20-Bore Beretta, serial number N42577B and a 20-Bore Browning, serial number 471PR01020.

Police are appealing for anyone who attended the centre on July to contact them if they say anything suspicious.

Anyone with any information should contact Northamptonshire Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers, in confidence, on 0800 555111, and quote incident number 17000313024.

Tesco said: “New Covent Garden Soup Company are recalling this product because it contains undeclared mustard. Use by all dates up to and including 19 February 2017.”

The encampment has been pitched up on Lings Park since Thursday (August 17). They were given orders to leave by the end of Friday but have disregarded the notice.

In fact, more caravans rolled onto an area by the football pitches there over the weekend.

It has led to calls for the police to step in and move them along, while concerns are growing that travellers in Northampton are becoming "a regular occurrence".

One local mum-of-four said: "They've been no trouble, apart from the mess and the damage. I won't let my children go on the park though, and I probably won't even after they're gone though.

"They've churned up the field with bikes and quad bikes, and the police won't do anything."

The travellers reportedly accessed the park by ripping a bollard out in a nearby neighbourhood using a four-by-four vehicle and a chain.

Councillor Dennis Meredith (Lib Dem, Talavera) said he will be contacting the countywide travellers' unit to see if the encampment can be moved on "as soon as possible."

He said: "I have already had complaints about this"

"Residents are asking me when they are going to be moved on.

"I am quite concerned that during the school holidays the children can't use that field.

"This is a regular occurrence.

"I think the police need to take positive action to get them removed."

A Northamptonshire County Council spokesman said on behalf of the Countywide Traveller Unit: “We are aware of a group of around 30 vehicles that arrived on Thursday and we have visited the site with Northamptonshire Police.

"After an assessment of the best use of legislative powers, police served a section 61 notice on Thursday afternoon to vacate the site by Friday afternoon.”

Bands have until the end of the day to enter a competition to open for Reel Big Fish, Anti-Flag and Mad Caddies at this year’s Fireball – Fuelling The Fire Tour.

Taking place at O2 venues across the country, a band from the area will be picked to open each show.

An overall winner will then be picked and play on the entirety of next year’s tour, as well as receiving a host of further support throughout the year.

Last year’s winners, Sheffield’s Sweet Little Machine have gone on to land national support tours with the likes of Me First & The Gimme Gimmes and Patent Pending with help from Academy Events.

Speaking about the experience, the band said: “It’s surreal, because we grew up listening to Alex Baker’s radio show and bands like Less Than Jake, so to have them say that they think you’re actually good is just so cool to hear.

“We’d definitely recommend to anyone to enter, because the platform that Fireball and Academy Events have been able to offer us opened up all of these doors to get our music out to a wider audience.

“All these tours have been a wonderful experience and you can really tell that your fan base is growing while you’re doing it all, which is amazing.”

To enter, visit: https://www.academymusicgroup.com/fireballcompetition2017

The competition closes on Monday, August 21 at 11.59pm.

Winners will be judged and selected by a panel of music industry experts, including members of Reel Big Fish, Ian Richards of Academy Events, Sean Ryman of Live Nation/Download Festival, Alex Baker of Kerrang! Radio’s Freshblood show, and James Pattison the UK Brand Manager of Fireball.

The winners will then be announced on Friday, September 1.

The tour - a celebration of punk rock, ska, reggae and roots music featuring some of the best live bands the international punk scene has to offer – is set to hit the road in the UK throughout October.

Tickets cost £10 and are on sale now.

What do Oakman Inns, Waitrose, Barclays, BAe and the Co-Op all have in common?

Oakman Inns & Restaurants, which operates hugely popular pub restaurants in Northants, Bucks, Beds, Herts, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and beyond is among the 40 recipients of The Princess Royal’s Training Award, organised by the City & Guilds Group.

Recipients cover the full spectrum of HR responsibilities including public and private sector businesses and are from industries that include hospitality, healthcare, finance and manufacturing.

The exceptional award-winning businesses, selected from a list of 116, will be honoured by HRH The Princess Royal at a ceremony due to take place this autumn. The award recognises Oakman Inns for creating a lasting impact by successfully linking their skills development needs to business performance. Each of the 116 applications were assessed against three Hallmarks of Excellence by the Princess Royal Training Awards Commission, which comprised of HRH The Princess Royal and seven leading figures in the business and training community.

Chris Jones, chief executive of the City & Guilds Group said: “From household brands to leading charities, employers of all sizes across the UK are seeing real and tangible benefits of training and developing their people. The Princess Royal Training Awards provide both recognition and the opportunity to share best practice and its impact. I congratulate the 40 successful organisations who achieved the standard required by the Award in 2017. They are worthy recipients of this prestigious and rigorous royal award and we are delighted to be able to deliver it through the City & Guilds Group.”

Now in its second year, the Princess Royal Training Awards honours employers in the UK who have created outstanding training and skills development programmes which have resulted in exceptional commercial benefits. The Princess Royal Training Awards recognise the achievement of a standard of excellence rather than selecting overall winners.

Applications were assessed against three Hallmarks of Excellence:

Training and learning and development is integral to business performance

The programme is delivered efficiently and effectively

The programme has an impact on the success of the organisation and its people

Oakman Inn’s HR director, Jill Scatchard, said: “This is a recognition of the time and effort that Oakman Inns has invested in creating our in-house online training academy – Oakmanology – which involves everyone. Its skill development modules are taken by everyone from the main board down and since we introduced it four years ago, it has helped reduce our staff turnover by 43%.”

Oakman’s CEO, Peter Borg-Neal added: “We are thrilled to discover that we are the only pub group recognized by the Awards Commission. We are a people business and employ an average of 40 at each of our sites. We want them to be passionate and proud of what they do and having just completed on our 20th pub, we are committed to continuing the development of our range of training schemes so that we not only produce the managers of the future but give each one of our team members an opportunity to ‘learn a living’.”

Oakman Inns’ HR training and career development programmes were recognised earlier this year in the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For in which they are the highest-ranking hospitality company at 8th position.

The company, which was founded by Mr Borg-Neal in Tring with it’s first establishment The Akeman, also has the Kings Arms, Berkhamsted, Banyers House, Royston, Beece House, St Albans, The Red Lion at Water End Hemel Hempstead across Herts and runs the White Hart at Ampthill in Beds, Beech House in Beaconsfield, Dog & Badger at Medmenham, The Akeman Inn in Kingswood and Betsey Wynne in Swanbourne as part of its Bucks portfolio.

Oakman also runs the The Navigation at Thrupp Wharf, Cosgrove, Northamptonshire, The Crown & Thistle in Abingdon, the The Old Post Office, Wallingford and the Blue Boar, Witney, as part of its Oxon venues as well as The Globe in Warwick and the Four Alls, Welford on Avon, in Warwickshire.

The highly-regarded company has pub restaurants in the West Midlands, Berkshire and Essex and will soon add Beech House in Amersham and Cherry Tree, Olney, Milton Keynes to its Bucks operation.

The free festival featured a number of on-site venues, from the Alternative Stage, the Global Mela stage, the Youth stage and the Acoustic Stage, to the Classical Stage, the Dub Stage and the UFO Café Stage.

Posting on their Facebook on Monday afternoon, the festival said: "Wow Northampton! You did yourselves proud this weekend!!

"Please, if you can find an hour or so today or tomorrow, come down to the Racecourse and help us put everything back to bed ready for next year.

"Isn't it amazing what community spirit can do."

A 13-year-old boy was threatened at knifepoint in Northampton by a robber who stole his bike, Northamptonshire Police have revealed.

The incident happened at about 9.15pm on Saturday, August 19 in Bridgewater Drive between the footpath and trees, next to the yellow zig-zag lines by the entrance of Trinity Road.

A spokesman for Northamptonshire Police said: "The victim was pushing his red mountain bike when he was threatened at knifepoint by a white male who demanded his bike.

"The male was 6ft and overweight with pale skin. He was wearing a dark grey hoody with the hood up, light grey tracksuit bottoms and red Nike trainers.

"He had dark hair and a line in his right eyebrow towards the centre of his face as if it was shaved into it," he added.

The offender rode off on the bike down Bridgewater Drive towards the Billing Road end of the road.

Anyone with information about the robbery should call Northamptonshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers, in confidence, on 0800 555111.
