Nigel Clough is to step down as manager of League One club Burton Albion and will be replaced by Jake Buxton.

Clough, 54, returned for a second spell in charge of the Brewers in 2015 and helped the club into the Championship for the first time in its history.

He had previously led the club to the brink of the Football League before leaving to manage Derby County in 2009.

Former Derby centre-back Buxton, 35, will take charge of Burton as player-manager "in the coming weeks".

Brewers chairman Ben Robinson indicated the financial impact of the coronavirus crisis had played a part in Clough leaving.

The BBC is hoping to bring back BBC Three as a regular TV channel, four years after it was taken off air and moved online.

The youth channel, which commissioned hits like Normal People and Fleabag, will also have its budget doubled.

It left linear TV in 2016 to save £30m, and because the corporation said young people were watching more shows online.

The BBC now says it is "considering the case" for returning the channel to "linear television".

A BBC spokesman said "we'd be wrong not to back a service that is doing better than anyone could have ever conceived".

The turnaround will be formally announced as part of the BBC's annual plan on Wednesday, but there was no news about the fate of BBC Four, which has been rumoured for the axe.

Cheese is a dairy product made from cream, curdled or skimmed milk, or a mixture of these. It can range from mild, fresh soft cheeses such as cream cheese, to pungently flavoured, mature blue cheeses such as Stilton, or aged hard cheeses such as Parmesan, which are very dry in texture. Made around the world from cow, sheep, water buffalo, goat and even reindeer milk, cheese is sold pasteurised or raw, plain or flavoured, pickled, processed or even, occasionally, sweet.
