An 18-year-old man has died after he was stabbed in the chest in Livingston on Friday night.

TV Licence Fee Raised
From 1 April, the cost of a colour television licence will be £142.50 and a black and white licence will be £48.00. The increase, to be brought into effect by an Order laid in the House of Commons today, follows the six-year BBC funding settlement which began in April 2007. The licence fee increase is set at three per cent for the first two years of the settlement and two per cent in years three, four and five. This is year three. Any increase (of up to two per cent) in year six will be set nearer the time.
25-Year-Old Charged With GBH
A 25-year-old man is to appear in court on a grievous bodily charge after a man aged 28 was stabbed in the chest. The man was arrested following what police described as a "disorder" incident involving two men and a woman, in West Park Road, Newport. Gwent Police said the injured man has been transferred to the University Hospital of Wales where his condition is stable. The man under arrest is due to appear before Newport magistrates later.
