Bruton claims support

Fine Gael have their Robert Green moment. Richard Bruton blows his trumpet and proposes a motion of no confidence in Enda Kenny and is given the red card. And all on the eve of Kenny's proposed vote of no confidence in the Taoiseach. Will it prove an own goal?

'I am deeply sorry'

The Saville Report into Bloody Sunday is published, with even the building from where the relatives emerged holding historical significance. In 1972, the Guildhall was still dominated by a Unionist council cushioned by a policy of gerrymandering that denied Nationalist representation. Live film of David Cameron's apology, "On behalf of our country, I am deeply sorry," was greeted by cheers from the crowd. But when the relatives of the victims read what Lord Saville said of the unlawful killings, one word resounded repeatedly: 'innocent'.

Couple killed over caste

More lost innocence as the 'honour killing' of a young Delhi couple prompts a police hunt. Yogesh Kumar Jatav (21) and his girlfriend Asha Saini (19) were beaten and tortured to death by the girl's family who objected to their relationship because of their different castes. A neighbour heard screams from the house: "Do whatever you want to me, please just let him go." The orphaned Jatav had worked as a taxi-driver; Asha's family owned a successful vegetable wholesale business.

GAA star's jaw rebuilt

Football – it's not just a matter of life and death, there's serious injury too. The attack on 19-year-old GAA player Kevin Nugent came during a Division One game between Armagh and Cullaville. His chin bone and the top of his jaw were broken, displacing all his lower teeth. Surgeons inserted two plates into his lower jaw and his lower teeth have been wired into his gum. "He's very sore and feeling weak but he'll be okay," said one relative. "We have to treat him like a baby at this stage and give him fluids through a straw and a syringe."

Testicles for the queen

Michelin chef Heston Blumenthal made a meal fit for a queen during Royal Ascot week. The starter was planned to look like a bowl of fruit but made up of sweetbreads and assorted offal, allegedly including brain and testicles. How did it go down? Buck House refused to comment – maybe they were all getting sick in the royal privy.

Rooney good at crosses

He'll never be king of England, but a young Catholic hopes to become footballing royalty – with a wing and a prayer – in South Africa. Comments on Wayne Rooney's crucifix, which is spotted during training, invoke childhood memories of his religious upbringing. They include weekly visits from the parish priest, "usually to collect money", he has told the press. "I believed in Jesus of course, and I said my prayers most evenings – usually for Everton to win on Saturday."

Bank nips client savings

Politics and the World Cup has taken our eye off the banking ball. But here's a new word: 'offsetting' is the term on the discovery that a "leading bank" has dipped into consumers' savings accounts because the consumer hadn't made their repayments – and which the bank did without the customers' prior notice. What's the word for banks that loaned money to people they knew couldn't pay it back? Or banks that are now bailed out with taxpayers' money that they'll eventually charge to loan back?

Paint killed Caravaggio

Caravaggio's paintings hauntingly depict betrayal and death, but his own demise has been a mystery – until now. Scientists say they are "85%" sure that bones excavated in Tuscany are those of the volatile painter who died during the early 17th century. His remains contain levels of poisonous lead alleged to have caused his depression, brawling and subsequent demise. Painting, in other words, was the death of him.

A free Aung San Suu Kyi

Family photographs of the woman who is arguably the world's most famous political prisoner are among The Guardian's most viewed pages. As Burmese human rights activist Aung San Suu Kyi turns 65, she remains under house arrest in Rangoon. The photographs show the then future Burmese democracy movement leader and Nobel Laureate as a young bride and mother. She has now spent 14 years under house arrest.

Kenny tightens grip

Four days is a long time in Fine Gael. Enda Kenny survives the challenge by his former Finance spokesperson. "For me this is the end of any tensions that were building up. We move on from here, a completely united party," he tells supporters. Now he just has to convince everyone else.
