Families in the village that inspired The Archers have defended the expansion of a football club, arguing that 'it brings more people together'. A group of locals in the idyllic village of Inkberrow, Worcestershire (pictured, right) - where house prices average £500,000 - have hit back after fellow residents claimed non-league Inkberrow FC's 'loutish' fans were ruining the 'tranquillity'. Critics of the plans to expand the club (left) said they were fed up with noisy players and fans from the sports team and that the peace of the village - which inspired Radio 4's The Archers - has been 'completely shattered' by match day shouting and cheering.

On Thanksgiving Day, Edio White, 18, and Conner Tucker, 15, were driving to Anthony Mason's home in Memphis. The pair attempted to rob Mason after he was seen leaving his house and interacting with two people inside. According to police, the teens started to fight over the gun as the situation progressed south, with Tucker pointing a pistol outside the car and firing Mason in the head. Both of them have since been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, as well as attempted aggravated robbery and unlawful possession of a weapon. White was released on his own recognizance, sparking outrage.
