Today's Highlighted Video Story: Police searching for missing Nicola Bulley have found a body in the river. The mother-of two disappeared during a riverside dog walk in St Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire three weeks ago, sparking a major search operation. Lancashire Police said they "sadly recovered a body" after they were called to the River Wyre near Rawcliffe Road at 11:35 GMT on Sunday. A statement said formal identification had not yet been carried out "so we are unable to say" if it was Ms Bulley.
The death was currently being treated as "unexplained", it added.
