The findings, in Nature Communications, show how the parasite has adapted to survive by making detoxifying enzymes that destroy pesticides.
And it has grown thicker skin, which helps guard against chemical attack.
But there is a stage in the bug's life when it might be easier to kill.
This is as a young nymph, before it has had its first taste of human blood, according to the two teams of international researchers - one based at the American Museum of Natural History and the other working out of the University of Cincinnati and Baylor College of Medicine, Texas.
Bed bugs survive on a diet of blood alone, and it is not until the pest has begun to feed that some of the genes that govern these self-defence mechanisms against pesticides get switched on.
Another weakness might be their relationship with bacteria that live on, in and around them - their microbiome.
The researchers discovered the bed-bug microbiome contains more than 1,500 genes that probably contribute to their growth and reproduction.
Attacking these beneficial bacteria might prove to be a powerful weapon against bed bugs, alongside new pesticides.
Dr George Amato, one of the study authors from the museum, said: "We have been learning so much about microbiomes recently, and we know that it's not just that micro-organisms live on and in individuals, but in many ways play a critical role.
"This might provide a vulnerability we can use."
Some of the work is part of a project called i5k - an ambitious initiative to sequence the genomes of 5,000 arthropod species, to benefit medicine, agriculture and ecology.

Scientists have sequenced the entire genome of the bed bug to help work out how to eliminate the pest, which has been developing resistance to existing insecticide sprays.

Sampaoli, 57, has taken over as coach of his home country after leaving Spanish club Sevilla after one season.
Barcelona forward Messi, 29, announced his retirement from international football in June 2016 before reversing his decision two months later.
"I spoke with Leo and we're both excited," said Sampaoli.
"It's a boost for us to see how excited he is with this new stage [for Argentina]."
Messi has scored 58 goals in 117 appearances for Argentina yet the 1978 and 1986 world champions currently sit outside an automatic qualifying spot for next year's World Cup in Russia after six wins in 14 qualifying games.
Their last four qualifiers are against Uruguay (away) on 31 August, Venezuela (home) on 5 September, Peru (home) on 5 October and Ecuador (away) on 10 October.
"The South American qualifiers are very complicated. There are some very good teams trying to do the same thing as us," added Sampaoli, who has signed a deal until the 2022 World Cup.
Argentina sacked Edgardo Bauza in April after eight matches as coach.

New Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli says getting the best out of Lionel Messi and reaching the 2018 World Cup are his greatest challenges in the role.

Belgian rider Merckx, 71, won six stages on his way to the 1969 title and holds the record for the most Tour de France stages wins, with 34.
Brussels has hosted the Grand Depart once before, in 1958, while 2019 will be the fifth Tour start in Belgium.
"I'm very emotional, I hope I'll still be alive," said Merckx.
Nicknamed 'The Cannibal', Merckx also won three world road race championships, four Giro d'Italia titles, the 1973 Vuelta a Espana and claimed 19 victories across cycling's five prestigious one-day 'Monument' races.
This year's Tour begins in German city Dusseldorf on 1 July, after London turned down the chance to host, while the 2018 edition starts in Vendee in Western France.

The 31-year-old midfielder joined Palace in 2015, for what was a then a club-record £10m transfer fee.
The Frenchman recently told beIN Sports he was "unsure what the future holds" after being linked with a move back to his home country.
"Reading between the lines, he would like to go to Marseille if they made a big enough bid," said Allardyce.
"He would like to keep the club up. In today's world and today's society, if he does the job for us and keeps us up and Marseille offer us millions of pounds, then Steve [Parish, Palace's chairman] will say 'Should we or shouldn't we?'.
"But I would prefer to keep him. What happens in the summer? Who knows? There will be some comings, there will be some goings and that happens at every football club now. Too much these days."
Crystal Palace are currently 16th in the Premier League, four points above the relegation zone with 10 games remaining. They travel to league leaders Chelsea on Saturday.

The fight on 4 February will be on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr's latest bout, when he takes on Australian Renold Quinlan.
However the super-middleweight main event could be under threat, with Quinlan threatening to pull out.
Liverpool heavyweight Price, 33, will take on Hammer, 29, who has only four defeats in his 24-bout career.
One of those losses was a nine-round defeat to Tyson Fury in February 2015.
Hammer's most recent fight was a victory against Erkan Teper in October, the German who beat Price in 2015 before failing a drugs test.
Price has won two fights, each inside two rounds, since the defeat to Teper.

Sky said like-for-like revenues - which strip out the impact of currency movements - rose 5% in the three months to 30 September.
Subscriber numbers rose by 106,000 over the period but that was lower than last year's rise of 134,000.
Advertising revenue in the UK and Ireland fell 3%, although Sky said that was better than the overall market.
Sky, which generates about a third of its business in Italy, Germany and Austria, said its group revenues had benefitted from the rise in the euro against the pound, as European sales in euros are counted back into sterling. As a result, group revenues rose 13% to £3.1bn.
Football as ever proved an important earner for the company, which said it had its most watched sports event ever on Sky Sports Italy, which was Italy v Germany's UEFA Euro 2016 match.
In the UK and Ireland, Sky said it expected the new Premier League season to be its biggest yet. It will include Friday evening matches for the first time.
The company has paid an extra £600m for its Premier League rights, but said it was making very strong progress on efficiency, with operating costs for the quarter lower than a year ago.
Chief executive Jeremy Darroch said: "We finished the quarter strongly after a slower start against the backdrop of the Rio Olympics and Uefa Euro 2016.
"We are on track financially in a year of investment on screen."
The company said growth had been good "across all territories and categories".
But analysts at Liberum said the results were thin on detail, with no figures for churn - the rate at which customers are leaving - or average revenue per user.
"We have far less disclosure from this Sky Q1 release than in previous releases," Liberum said.

The Sabarimala temple bars all women in the age group of 10 to 50 from entering the shrine.
Hinduism regards menstruating women as unclean and many temples impose restrictions on women's entry.
In November, a group of women students started a campaign to protest against the practice.
On Monday, the court asked the state government and Sabarimala temple officials to respond to its notices about the ban.
The court was hearing a petition, seeking to overturn the ban imposed by the temple.
The judges said they would hear the case on 8 February.
In November, the Sabarimala temple chief told reporters that he would allow women to enter the shrine only after a machine was invented to detect if they were "pure" - meaning that they weren't menstruating.
"A time will come when people will ask if all women should be disallowed from entering the temple throughout the year," Prayar Gopalakrishnan said.
"These days there are machines that can scan bodies and check for weapons. There will be a day when a machine is invented to scan if it is the 'right time' for a woman to enter the temple. When that machine is invented, we will talk about letting women inside," he added.
Mr Gopalakrishnan's comments outraged women who launched a #HappyToBleed campaign on Facebook to protest against the "sexist statement".
Several young women posted their pictures holding placards - some made up of sanitary napkins and tampons - with the slogan "Happy To Bleed" on Facebook.
Nikita Azad, who started the campaign, told the BBC there was no "right time" to go into a temple and that women should have the right to go "wherever they want to and whenever they want to".

India's Supreme Court has said that a prominent Hindu temple in the southern state of Kerala has no "constitutional basis" to ban the entry of women.

Volunteers have spent months installing 888,246 hand-made poppies - each representing a British and colonial soldier who died during WW1.
It is thought about five million people have visited the artwork entitled Blood-Swept Lands and Seas of Red by ceramic artist Paul Cummins, from Derbyshire.
Berkshire cadet Harry Hayes, 13 "planted" the final poppy.
The final names from the Roll of Honour were read out and the guns fired 21 times before the silence.
The title of the work was inspired by a line from the will of a Derbyshire serviceman who died in Flanders.
He described "the blood-swept lands and seas of red, where angels fear to tread".
General the Lord Dannatt, Constable of the Tower of London, said an estimated five million people had been to see the poppies.
The former head of the British Army said: "The great thing about it is that people are engaged with this.
"I think they have taken ownership of it and the reason why I think they have done that is that specific number, 888,246 - not a random number - that is the number of British and Colonial soldiers who lost their lives in the First World War.
"Every poppy represents a life lost and a family shattered."
He said 17,500 volunteers had planted poppies while a team of about 8,000 volunteers would start dismantling the installation on Wednesday.
The weeping window and wave segments of the installation will be the final sections to be removed and will be on show until the end of the month.
Thousands of the poppies will then go on tour before being permanently based at the Imperial War Museums in London and Manchester.
The prime minister said the display had "in a very short space of time become a much-loved and respected monument".
The poppies have been sold for £25 each with all net proceeds plus 10% of every sale being shared between six service charities, including Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.
It is thought the sales could raise in excess of £15m.

According to the Irish edition of The Sunday Times, police have identified two of the six gunmen who shot David Byrne dead and wounded two other men.
The two attackers were photographed by journalists while leaving the hotel.
It is reported one has been identified as a paramilitary from County Tyrone.
The other, who was dressed as a woman, is thought to be a Dublin criminal.
The police are said to believe the gunman from Northern Ireland is a member of the Continuity IRA.
The dissident republican organisation issued a statement to the BBC last weekend claiming that it was responsible for the shooting at the Regency Hotel on 5 February.
However, a later statement purporting to be from the Continuity IRA was issued to other media outlets saying the organisation was not involved in the attack.
On 8 February, another man was shot dead in Dublin in what police believe could be a reprisal for the murder at the boxing match weigh-in.
Eddie Hutch Snr, who was in his 50s, was killed near his flat in Poplar Row, North Strand, in the north inner city.
5 February - One man, is shot dead and two others are injured when masked gunmen open fire at a boxing weigh-in event at Dublin's Regency hotel. The dead man is later named as 33-year-old David Byrne.
8 February - A group purporting to be the Continuity IRA, a dissident republican faction, claims responsibility for the hotel shootings. However, hours later a second statement, also claiming to be from the Continuity IRA, denies any involvement.
A second shooting takes place in inner city Dublin on Monday evening in what police believe could be a reprisal for David Byrne's murder. The second victim is named as Eddie Hutch Snr from North Strand.
9 February - Irish police say they are to establish a permanent armed support unit for Dublin in the wake of the gangland feud.

A local democracy campaigner obtained the Highways England documents using Freedom of Information (FoI) requests.
Campaigner Dave Orr said: "We now know it's been value engineered down because the budget is constrained."
Highways England says it will listen to all feedback from its current single option consultation for the upgrade.
"We've ended up with a scheme which delivers more problems with noise, pollution and disturbance, accidents than if we did nothing which I think is absurd," added Mr Orr.
In March, the government and Highways England put forward one option to dual the A358 between Southfields roundabout and Taunton in Somerset.
Since then councils have criticised the plans saying they lack detail and residents have complained that only one option was being consulted on.
The FoI documents show ideas which include linking the M5 to a planned new hi-tech business park at Henlade were ruled out, along with other proposals as they would cost between £366m and £451m.
According to the released documents, the single option was estimated to cost £366m but was "still in excess of the budget of £251m".
The report also stated: "We cannot commit to a Junction 25 link on affordability grounds."
A Highways England spokesman said: "The current scheme cost remains within the Road Investment Strategy allocation of £250m - £500m."
Taunton MP Rebecca Pow has raised the issues with the Secretary of State for Transport, Chris Grayling.
She said: "We need to look at why only route was offered because there was a feeling that initially more routes were going to be offered."
She added that the upgrade needed to bring "economic gain" to Taunton and link to the new business park, which is set to attract more than 4,000 jobs.
The consultation closes on 16 July.

The incident happened as some 60 workers were changing rail tracks on the line between Calais, France, and Folkestone, UK.
A welder was taken ill in the early hours of Sunday and carbon monoxide poisoning was later diagnosed.
Tunnel traffic was unaffected.
Eighteen other workers have also been taken ill.
They were sent to local French hospitals to give them "the time needed to remove the carbon monoxide from their system", an official said, adding their condition was not a cause for concern.
The 41 other workers went home.
An investigation has been launched into the cause of the incident.

West Bromwich Albion striker Salomon Rondon tapped in the only goal as Venezuela reached the quarter-finals.
The defeat was the second in as many group games for Uruguay, with Mexico's 2-0 victory over Jamaica in Pasadena confirming their exit.
"We didn't play like a team that needed to get a good result," said Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez.
Striker Luis Suarez, who injured a hamstring in Barcelona's Copa del Rey final win over Sevilla last month, did not feature for the second successive game for Uruguay, who top their World Cup qualifying group and are the most successful team in Copa America history.
"The player is not fit to play," said Tabarez. "I will not select a player who is not 100%. Was he angry? I am not aware. He told me nothing."
Venezuela, meanwhile, secured successive wins in the tournament for the first time.
Rondon became the first Venezuela player to score in three Copa Americas as he rolled home the 36th-minute winner when a long-range shot from Alejandro Guerra came back off the crossbar.
Mexico's victory was their 10th in succession since Juan Carlos Osorio took over as coach last year, with former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez heading their opening goal.

The Newcastle to Carlisle line has been blocked since 7 January after flooding resulted in landslips near Corbridge.
Passengers have faced lengthy bus journeys between Prudhoe and Hexham while repair work has been going on.
But Network Rail said services would return to normal from 8 February after a "challenging" engineering operation.
Rob McIntosh, route managing director at Network Rail, said: "I would firstly like to apologise to passengers [for] the disruption this has caused and thank them for their patience during the recent weeks.
"I would also like to thank the community living near the site of the slip for their ongoing patience and understanding with what has been a significant rebuilding project which is set to carry on for many weeks.
"The unprecedented weather which led to the landslip, and which has continued throughout the clear-up, presented us with a series of difficult engineering challenges, but I am pleased to confirm that the work has gone to plan and that passenger services will resume from Monday."
Alex Hynes, managing director for Northern Rail, added: "We are delighted to see our train services resuming on the line from Monday. Our customers have been extremely patient while Network Rail worked on this challenging project.
"We will be offering compensation to customers affected."

Ms Gillard had presented redrafted legislation to the opposition as she sought support for her "Malaysia swap".
But the opposition said the proposals did not provide adequate protection for asylum-seekers.
Australia's asylum policy has been in crisis since a court ruled a plan to swap refugees with Malaysia unlawful.
Australia detains all those who arrive by boat, some on the mainland and some at the Christmas Island detention centre.
The government says its "Malaysia swap" plan aims to deter people from making the dangerous sea voyage.
Under the plan, Australia would have sent 800 asylum-seekers who arrived by boat on to Malaysia and would have received 4,000 refugees in return over four years.
But the court ruled Malaysia - which has not signed UN refugee conventions - did not offer adequate protection.
The ruling also threw plans to send asylum-seekers to re-opened processing camps in Papua New Guinea or on the Pacific island of Nauru in doubt.
Ms Gillard leads a minority government which depends on the Greens for support. The Greens do not support offshore processing, forcing Labor to look to the opposition for co-operation.

She wants to change the Migration Act to allow Australia to send asylum-seekers to Malaysia.
But opposition leader Tony Abbott said the proposed changes paid "lip service to protections without actually guaranteeing them", and said his party had rejected them.
Instead, he said his party would present an alternative proposal which excludes a deal with Malaysia.
The Liberals want to reopen a processing centre on the Pacific island of Nauru - a policy that was heavily criticised by the Labor party.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said Labor would "not be going down that road".
"Very clearly, if this legislation doesn't pass, then offshore processing will be regarded as unlawful," The Australian newspaper quoted him as saying.
"And therefore the obvious result of that is onshore processing."
Last year 6,535 asylum-seekers arrived in Australia by boat.
Both parties have sought to appear tough on asylum, despite recent opinions polls which suggest many Australians support onshore processing of asylum-seekers.

Nellie Kroes spent 11 years with the European Union's executive body as commissioner for competition and also head of its Digital Agenda initiative.
The board will advise the company on its global expansion and held its first meeting earlier this week.
In office, Ms Kroes criticised attempts to ban Uber in some European countries.
In 2014, she said he was "outraged" by a decision in a Brussels court to stop its drivers working in the city.
"This decision is not about protecting or helping passengers - it's about protecting a taxi cartel," she wrote on her official European Commission blog.
Others appointed to the board include Roberto Daniño, the former prime minister of Peru, ex-US secretary of transportation Ray LaHood and Allan Fels. previously chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission,
A spokesman for Uber told the BBC the board members were chosen because of their experience in public policy affecting the company and mix of nationalities.
"As Uber continues to expand globally and introduce innovative products, we're encountering novel policy issues at the intersection of technology, transportation and competition," the spokesman said.
"We know we don't have all the answers and we're excited to get guidance from this group of experienced leaders."
The company's international expansion has been followed by objections from taxi operators and governments.
In London, protests took place in January this year because black cab drivers said the service was "unfair competition", although the city's transport authority, Transport for London, disagreed. In France, the government intervened to close a version of the app following nationwide protests by taxi drivers last summer.
Uber's chief advisor David Plouffe said the company believed car-booking apps would form a part of transport networks worldwide and the new public policy group would offer advice on the challenges the company faces.
"Uber has a reputation for getting straight to the point (sometimes a little too quickly) and we want their feedback to be equally direct," he said.

PC Sally Baines of West Yorkshire Police posted the appeal on Twitter on Friday, for two boys she said had never had pillows, toothbrushes or toys.
"Thousands" of gifts have been given.
Ms Baines, from Huddersfield, said she was "overwhelmed" by the generous donations, and said the boys now had "more than enough" presents.
She said a few would be chosen for the boys, who may not be able to take many with them as they are moved around the care system, but that she hoped the rest of the toys could go to children in similar situations in the Kirklees area.
The donations started after Ms Baines's first tweet, on Friday, which said: "Just been told about 2 kids under 6 who have been taken into foster care. Never had pillows, toothbrushes, toys. I am heartbroken."
She then tweeted: "Been asked if I can donate any toys or books for them, I think I will be going shopping this weekend to get them some stuff."
The Huddersfield Examiner launched an appeal on Saturday and tweeted: "Can you help two little boys in foster care who have never had any Christmas presents?"
Ms Baines, who is herself a mother, said before counting the presents she thought "hundreds" had been donated to the boys.
They include teddies, books, a football and a Star Wars scooter.
One little boy gave two of his toy cars. Ms Baines said: "He brought them in from his toy box at home."

The 26-year-old, who joined the Foxes from French club Le Havre in 2014, announced in May that he wanted to leave the club.
"The bid was politely declined because it was a low offer," said Shakespeare. "I don't know what it was and I don't get involved."
Mahrez, PFA player of the year in 2016, has reportedly been valued at £50m.
Shakespeare, who is with the Foxes in Hong Kong for a pre-season tournament, had said earlier this week there had been no bids for Mahrez.
The Algeria player made 48 appearances for Leicester last season.
He scored 10 goals and provided seven assists as Leicester recovered from a poor start to finish 12th in the Premier League and reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
BBC Radio Leicester's Ian Stringer:
There was talk 10 days ago that Roma had tabled a £20m bid and I'm not surprised it was rejected. Mahrez is box office and, in the current market, he's worth double that.
The Algerian is on a long-term contract and, although I'm sure he go, it will not be until the price is right.
Leicester have been exemplary in their handling of the situation so far and the aces are all in the hands of senior management at the King Power Stadium.

Carl Davies from Sittingbourne, Kent, was 33 when he was killed in November 2011.
The teacher was stabbed, beaten and his body dumped in a ravine. His death was treated as an accident until post-mortem tests showed he had stab wounds.
Vincent Madoure, 30, was found guilty of murder in a trial on the island.
Mr Davies's family had waited more than five years for a trial.
After the hearing, his mother, Maria Davies, said: "All we ever wanted was truth and justice for our son.
"It's like a living nightmare that never ends. We will never ever be complete as a family, but my baby boy can now rest in peace."
Mr Davies had only been on the French-governed island for two days when he was attacked.
Four men were charged with his murder in 2013, but cases against three of them were dropped.
The trial of remaining defendant, Madoure began three days ago.
Local reporter Lisa Mela said there were still many unanswered questions about the case.
She said: "Where exactly did Carl Davies die? How was his body brought to the place where he was discovered on the side of the road? None of these questions have been answered during this trial.
"One person has been convicted but there are many shadows in this case."
Lawyers for former cleaner Madoure have said they plan to appeal against the verdict.

Henry won the tournament in 2000 and was also part of the World Cup-winning France team in 1998.
The former Arsenal striker was part of the BBC's World Cup coverage for Brazil 2014.
He joins the BBC team led by Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer, plus a number of other big international names.
BBC Sport will broadcast 26 games during Euro 2016, including the standout match of the group stage as England face Wales.
Henry said: "I really enjoyed the World Cup in Brazil and it was a completely different experience as a pundit rather than a player. I am enjoying my broadcasting work and look forward to being part of the BBC's team, covering some of the great matches featuring Europe's best players.
"It is a tournament that is very close to my heart, having won it 15 years ago, and the fact it is being held in France will make it an extra special experience."
Philip Bernie, Head of TV Sport for the BBC, added: "We are delighted to have Thierry as part of the BBC team in Paris. He will bring a real insight into what is required to win this tournament and also what it's like to be victorious at a major event on home soil.
"We believe we have assembled a very impressive team of international stars and Thierry will really shine alongside Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer."

The family members are believed to include Malala Yousafzai's father, Ziauddin Yousufzai.
After flying into Birmingham they were given a police escort to the city's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The Taliban said it shot Malala for "promoting secularism". She is known as a campaigner for girls' education.
Mr Yousufzai has previously told Pakistani media that his daughter will return to the country after she has recovered.
He has dismissed reports that the family would seek asylum in the West because of threats by the Pakistani Taliban.
Malala was shot in the Swat Valley on 9 October as she travelled home from school with two classmates. Doctors said the bullet grazed the teenager's brain when it struck her just above her left eye.
She was flown to Birmingham to receive treatment unavailable in her own country.
Doctors at the hospital said on Thursday that she was still comfortable and responding well to treatment.
They have said Malala will need a period of recuperation before undergoing surgery.
Part of her skull will need to be reconstructed either by reinserting bone that was removed or with a titanium plate.
Since the attack, the teenager has received thousands of goodwill messages from around the world.

Relatives of the Pakistani schoolgirl shot in the head by a Taliban gunman have arrived in the UK where she is recovering in hospital.

Sitting on the start-finish straight with two others for company, the position panel waits for one of the top three drivers to gently ease their car in front of it.
That wasn't the case for the 'number three' board in Monaco.
After a needless pit stop saw Lewis Hamilton let slip the lead to finish third, the Briton - still fuming from his team's decision to call him in - appeared to be in a grumpy mood.
Media playback is not supported on this device
On the lap of honour after the race, Hamilton stopped his car on the outside of the Portier corner, with the front of his Mercedes overlooking the sea.
As Hamilton sat in his cockpit for a good minute or so, staring out to the Mediterranean Sea, the thoughts of those watching turned to the moment Ayrton Senna abandoned his wrecked McLaren at the same corner during the 1988 grand prix and promptly walked back to his Monaco flat without saying a word to anyone.
Hamilton, did not follow in the footsteps of his hero this time. Instead he fired up his Mercedes, swung it round the remainder of the slow-down lap and promptly slammed the front of his car into the awaiting position panel.
For that brief moment, Hamilton the slick and professional world champion disappeared. Hamilton was like a child who had just lost a running race they were convinced they would win.
Much like smashing a racquet in tennis or kicking a goalpost in football, it was a hilariously petulant reaction. And we loved it.

Instead of Mr, Mrs, Ms or the gender neutral Mx, customers can choose from nine titles including "M" and "Misc", the banking giant said.
The prefixes are designed to give non-binary people more choices if they don't want to be identified by gender.
HSBC added that it had simplified the process that lets customers change their gender on an account.
Other banks, including Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays, also allow customers to have gender neutral titles.
In November High Street lender Metrobank started to offer the "Mx" prefix on its forms.
HSBC's titles will be applied across a customer's account, including their bank cards and correspondence.
The banking giant will let people choose gender neutral titles from the following list:
People who wish to change the gender on their account need to bring a passport, driving licence or birth certificate that supports the change of gender and update their details in a branch, HSBC said.
Stuart Barette, trans lead of HSBC's UK Pride Network, said in a video that when he went to the bank to change his gender he found it "terrifying".
In theory, updating gender records should be as easy as changing marital status, he told the BBC.
But in fact, transgender people "have to come out to the branch", and the "reality can be nerve-wracking."
"Coming out is always tricky," he said. "It's a big step for the customer."
He said that the changes, which include updating training for bank staff, are about making it a lot easier for customers to have the confidence to go into branches.
HSBC decided to extend the number of gender-neutral prefixes available to customers after feedback from employees, Mr Barette added.
A spokesperson for LGBT lobby group Stonewall said: "It's great to see an increasing number of organisations prioritise issues affecting trans people.
"The banking sector has taken huge strides towards making lesbian, gay, bi and trans employees and customers feel valued.
"This was demonstrated earlier this year by Lloyds Banking Group, who came number one in our top 100 LGBT inclusive employers in Britain."
There are no official figures for the number of transgender people in the UK, according to the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

HSBC is to let customers choose more non-gender specific titles for their retail bank accounts.

They were abducted near a compound owned by Italian oil and gas group Eni in the western Mellitah area, the ministry said.
Italy closed its embassy in Libya in February, calling on Italians to leave because of the dangers to foreigners.
The country is beset with warring factions four years after the civil war that ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The foreign minister Paolo Gentiloni told Italian media on the sidelines of a meeting of EU foreign ministers that it was difficult to speculate about who was responsible for the abduction at this stage.
The workers are employed by Bonatti, a company that provides services to the oil, gas and energy sector, a spokesman confirmed.
They were kidnapped while returning from Tunisia on Sunday evening, La Repubblica newspaper reports.
Two rival governments are vying for legitimacy and territory in Libya and so-called Islamic State (IS) is among the armed groups operating in the country.
Nine foreign oil workers were kidnapped by IS in March.

Henry Day, 76, of Norfolk attacked four boys, all aged under 16 at the time, between 1969 and 1986.
Day, already serving 13 years for 21 similar offences, was jailed for three years to run concurrently after admitting seven offences.
The defendant, of North Walsham, ran summer camps from 1973 to 1995.
Day, also known as Harry, was originally convicted in 2009 of 20 sexual offences, including gross indecency and incitement, against eight boys.
More on this and other news from Norfolk
Det Con Mark Stratford said Day, who has now been convicted of sexually assaulting 12 boys, "preyed" on the children - the youngest of whom was nine years old at the time - "for his own sexual gratification".
"This was a terrible crime committed against children, many of whom relied on Day for support and to provide a positive future for them.
"Day took advantage of his position and abused the trust of many, including parents," he said.
Speaking after his original sentencing in 2009, Norfolk Police said they believed Day may have abused generations of young people who had not yet come forward.
Sentencing him for the new offences, Judge Anthony Bate said: "Until 2009, you were without conviction but in fact it was revealed you had been offending against young boys since the 1970s.
"These new matters have slowly emerged subsequently."
The new sentence will run alongside Day's previous term but, because he had been close to release from HMP Bure, Norfolk, it will mean he serves longer in prison, the judge said.
"This was a terrible crime committed against children, many of who relied on Day for support and to provide a positive future for them," he said.
"Day took advantage of his position and abused the trust of many, including parents."
Day set up his own charity in the 1950s through which he ran the summer camps in Hemsby.
The Young Citizens' Guild was intended to help young people grow in confidence and in 2004 he was appointed an MBE.

Sheryll Murray says she was branded a witch on social media, and somebody urinated on her office door during the recent general election campaign.
Swastikas were also carved into a promotional poster in her home constituency of South East Cornwall.
She says the police are investigating the attacks.
Raising the issue during Prime Minister's Questions, she told Theresa May: "Over the past month I've had swastikas carved into posters, social media posts like 'burn the witch'".
She asked Mrs May: "Can you suggest what can be done to stop this intimidation, which may well be putting off good people from serving in this place?"
The prime minister replied: "I believe this sort of behaviour has no place in our democracy.
"As I stand here and see the plaque that has been dedicated to the late Jo Cox, we should all remember what Jo said - we are far more united and have far more in common with each other than the things which divide us."
Mrs Murray also said people had put photographs online of Labour leaflets outside her home, leaving her concerned that people can find where she lives.
In a later interview, Mrs Murray said: "There are very strict rules around press reporting within an election period.
"Maybe we should look at social media being the same."

About 40 turkeys were taken along with smoked salmon and other festive food from Caesar's Arms Farm Shop in Creigiau on Christmas Eve.
Caesar's is bringing in replacements from suppliers and promised all orders would be met.
Manager Steve Scarrett said the theft was "horrendous".
"We came in this morning and some nice people have broken into our fridges and stolen our turkeys.
"It is not us who will be affected it's the poor people who want turkeys tomorrow but, fortunately, they (the thieves) have not won, because we have managed to replace them."
One customer said: "I feel very sorry for the shop and for the customers. One woman in front of me was in tears."
South Wales Police said officers were investigating a burglary at the shop between midnight and 05:00 GMT.
"A quantity of produce was stolen from the meat fridge," a spokesperson said.

Despite his illustrious career in the dugout, Fullone had fallen on hard times and died in abject poverty in Casablanca, Morocco.
The Argentine was nicknamed 'The White Magician' by fans in Ivory Coast where he turned Asec Mimosas into one of Africa's leading clubs.
His finest hour with Asec came in 1998 when he led them to the African Champions League, beating Dynamos of Zimbabwe.
A year later, he won African club football's flagship tournament with Raja Casablanca of Morocco.
He also led another Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca to the African Cup Winners' Cup title in 2002.
Four years later, he underlined his status as one of the most successful foreign coaches in Moroccan football history by winning the Arab Champions League with Raja.
Aside from coaching several high-profile African sides, Fullone was also a familiar figure on the Middle East coaching circuit.

Jon Olson told Breivik's trial that the killer showed him fake police identification papers.
Mr Olson also described how he helped Breivik carry a case on to the island which proved to be full of weapons.
Mr Olson's partner was one of the first to die on the island and his daughter was also there.
He spoke of his feelings of "angst and full panic" as he tried to contact police when the shooting began.
Breivik drove to the ferry after setting off a car bomb outside a government building in Oslo.
When he arrived at the quay he spoke to a security guard, Simen Braeden Mortensen, who also gave evidence in court.
Mr Mortensen said Breivik had a "certain authority when he arrived in a police officer's uniform".
"I thought the police identity was legitimate," he said.
The trial resumed on Thursday after a three-day break.
Breivik has admitted the killings, but said he did not accept criminal responsibility.

Mistakes led to five police searches at properties linked to innocent people, the Interception of Communications Commissioner Sir Anthony May revealed.
His report said there were 17 serious errors in 2014 by public authorities or communications service providers.
Sir Anthony said errors could have a "devastating" impact.
The mistakes were made during activities to obtain communications data - the who, when and where but not the content of communications - under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act.
Overall, nine were caused by human error, with the remainder attributed to technical faults.
Errors in tracing information about internet activity led to the arrest of one person, even though they were unconnected to a child sex investigation, the report disclosed.
In one case, a public authority tried to trace the user of an email account used to groom a young girl as part of an investigation into child sexual exploitation, but missed out an underscore on the address.
It led to police searching the home of someone who was unconnected with the investigation.
The report also revealed that a revised code introduced in March that requires judges to sign off requests to access journalists' data had already been breached by two police forces, which were not named.
Sir Anthony said: "Any police action taken erroneously in such cases, such as the search of an individual's house who is unconnected with the investigation or a delayed welfare check on an individual whose life is believed to be at risk, can have a devastating impact on the individuals concerned."
The report said that in all instances where there were "very serious consequences", the people affected were aware of the error.
In the majority of cases, Sir Anthony said they were "incredibly understanding", while others have taken legal action.
State agencies were responsible for five of the errors and communications service providers were responsible for 11, with one blamed on an organisation referred to as "other party".
Sir Anthony declined to name the organisations responsible for the errors.

Halsey said on Twitter that he had "seen an incident and been told to say I haven't seen it".
He spoke out after Manchester City's Sergio Aguero received a retrospective three-game ban for violent conduct.
However, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited said: "There is no pressure to include or omit anything."
The body's statement continued: "Match officials submit their reports, including critical incidents, directly to the FA.
"Match officials ensure that their reports are a full and accurate description of the incident."
Halsey, who retired in 2013, also pointed out these were issues he had previously mentioned in his autobiography three years ago.
He later added: "To be fair to the FA... it's not them, it comes from within the PGMOL."
Formed in 2001, the PGMOL was established when referees turned professional and aims to improve standards across the Premier League, Football League and FA competitions in England as well as training and development.
Had the incident that saw Aguero banned by a Football Association panel for elbowing West Ham's Winston Reid been witnessed by a match official, including referee Andre Marriner, the retrospective punishment would not have been possible.
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville said Halsey's claims were "too big" to avoid a full investigation.

An alleged victim told police he was assaulted when he was 16 or 17 on a train between Newport, south Wales, and London Paddington.
This follows earlier complaints made against the Port Talbot born Cardiff MP who died in 1997.
BTP said it had been made aware of "inappropriate touching" allegations.
A spokesman said: "BTP was made aware of an allegation of inappropriate touching involving the late George Thomas on board a train from London Paddington to Aberystwyth in 1959.
"I can confirm that a second report has been received, from Gwent Police, involving allegations of a sexual assault during a train journey from Newport to London Paddington between 1964 and 1966.
"The complainant, who was aged 16 or 17 at the time, did not wish to make a formal statement to police.
"The information has since been passed to the Operation Hydrant investigating team."
Operation Hydrant teams are gathering evidence for a number of investigations into historical child sexual abuse allegations, including Operation Pallial in north Wales and Operation Yewtree, the inquiry prompted by the Jimmy Savile abuse cases.

Laverty's performance earned him two more championship points as he remained in 12th place in the series.
He will quit MotoGP at the end of the season and return to World Superbikes, competing on an Aprilia machine.
Crutchlow became the first British rider to win the Australian Grand Prix as he held off Valentino Rossi.
Marc Marquez, who has already secured this year's championship, crashed out while holding a big lead on lap 10 which allowed Crutchlow to clinch his second win of the season after his triumph in the Czech Republic.
Crutchlow finished over four seconds ahead of Rossi with Spain's Maverick Vinales completing the podium positions.

It will enable Seattle-based Alaska to expand into lucrative hubs such as San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The two boards "unanimously approved" the deal, which will see Alaska acquire Virgin America for $57 (£40) a share.
However, Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson said there was "sadly nothing [he] could do to stop" the deal.
It is the first US commercial airline merger since US Airways and American Airlines combined in 2013 to make the world's largest carrier.
Virgin America, which accounts for about 1.5% of US domestic flight capacity, was listed on the US stock market in 2014 as an offshoot of London-based Virgin Group.
In a company blog, Sir Richard said: "I would be lying if I didn't admit sadness that our wonderful airline is merging with another.
"Because I'm not American, the US Department of Transportation stipulated I take some of my shares in Virgin America as non-voting shares, reducing my influence over any takeover. So there was sadly nothing I could do to stop it."
He added that consolidation is a trend that "cannot be stopped", with the four largest airlines now controlling more than 80% of the US market.
Alaska and its partner regional airlines, which in total account for about 5% of US domestic flight capacity, serve more than 100 cities in the US, Canada, Costa Rica and Mexico.
If the deal gets approval from US government regulators and Virgin America shareholders, the companies expect to complete the transaction by 1 January 2017.
Brad Tilden, chairman and chief executive of Alaska Air Group, said: "With our expanded network and strong presence in California, we'll offer customers more attractive flight options for non-stop travel."
Virgin America shares surged 40% to $54.52 - just below the offer price - in early trading.
Alaska, which was reported to have beaten competition from rival airline Jet Blue for the company, fell 4.7% to $78.15.

Gillespie took charge of Yorkshire in 2011, but is returning to his native Australia to be closer to his family.
The 41-year-old took the county from the second division to consecutive County Championship titles.
"Who knows what will happen in the future? I wouldn't say no moving forward," he said.
"I'm standing down because of family reasons. It's well known that my wife and kids are now back in Australia.
"As much as I love this club, my job and living here in Yorkshire, the time is right to step aside."
Former Australia paceman Gillespie will coach Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash Twenty20 competition this winter, but said he does not have any plans for his next role.
"I'll continue that role [with Adelaide], but at this point in time it's up in the air," he told BBC Radio Leeds.
"It will be over two months by the end of the season since I've seen the family so I think it's just a really good opportunity to spend some time with them."

The 9ft (3m) deep, 22ft (7m) long hole was caused by heavy rain washing away a drain running under part of Traigh Golf Course, near Mallaig.
A photograph that appeared in the media showed a dog at the bottom of the hole.
A club spokesman said: "We keep being asked 'did the dog escape?'. The answer is yes, unscratched."
Traigh Golf Club had been worried about how it would pay for the repairs close to the seventh green of the nine-hole course.
It estimated £16,000 would be needed to cover the cost of the work, which included 200 tonnes of sand.
The owners of the course have now offered to pay for it.
Traigh, between Arisaig and Mallaig, is known as one of Scotland's most picturesque courses because of its views to Skye and the Small Isles.

The team, based in Zurich and London, say they have found a way to mask data that does little to slow it down.
Many anonymising systems are slow because data is encrypted many times as it travels.
But the new high-speed encryption system, Hornet, could theoretically move data around at speeds up to 93GBps, its creators say.
Hornet is conceptually similar to The Onion Router (Tor) network that many people currently use to disguise from where they are browsing the web.
Tor encrypts data as it hops randomly between the servers or relays that make up the network.
However, encrypting and decrypting data many times adds a processing overhead, which means browsing the web via Tor can be slow and frustrating.
Tor's design "suffers from performance and scalability issues: as more clients use Tor, more relays must be added to the network", said the researchers in a paper describing their work.
Hornet avoids some of the problems that limit how many users a Tor-like system can handle by changing the way it handles information about where data is going.
By removing some of this administrative overhead, it is possible to speed up the passage of data through the network's anonymising core.
In addition, they wrote, these changes made Hornet less susceptible to some of the attacks that have been used to unmask people who use Tor.
Writing on tech news site the Daily Dot, Patrick O'Neill noted that the paper describing Hornet had not yet been peer-reviewed.
"Peer review is critical to the development of research like this, and Hornet can't be considered even close to fully formed until review comes," he wrote.
"Still, research that endeavours to rethink the design of anonymity networks can lay the groundwork for the next stages of the technology."

The US administration signalled heavy cuts to UN operations, in its budget proposals released on Tuesday.
The US foots more than a quarter of the UN's $7.9bn (£6.1bn) peacekeeping bill.
A spokesman for UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the organisation was willing to discuss how peacekeeping could be made more cost-effective.
Mr Trump's budget proposal declares new "attention on the appropriate US share of international spending at the United Nations".
The document does not provide a detailed breakdown, but Reuters news agency reports the drop in funding for the operations could amount to $1bn.
The spokesman said the UN was studying Mr Trump's plan. "The figures presented would simply make it impossible for the UN to continue all of its essential work advancing peace, development, human rights and humanitarian assistance," he said.
The BBC's Nick Bryant at the UN says such a warning from the organisation is unusually blunt.
The US president does not set the budget, but makes recommendations to Congress. It is understood that the UN secretary general has been lobbying Congress members on the importance of international peacekeeping.
The US provides 28.5% of the United Nations peacekeeping budget - almost three times as much as the next-highest contributor, China.
While Mr Trump's plan does not include details, the US is known to want to cap its contributions to a maximum of 25%.
There are currently 16 active peacekeeping operations, including Syria, South Sudan, and on the border of India and Pakistan.

The United Nations has warned that President Donald Trump's plans to cut contributions to peacekeeping will make such work "impossible".

More than 75kg of the drug were found near the tourist hotspot of the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare.
Revenue customs officers responded to a report from a member of the public about the suspicious device.

Small bales of cocaine, each about a foot long and weighing about 1kg, were found wrapped in plastic inside the 6ft metal tube on Monday.
A spokeswoman said: "It is not possible at this stage to say either where the drugs originated or their intended destination."
Officials said the alarm was raised thanks to a programme that urges people living in coastal communities, maritime personnel and people living near airfields to report unusual or suspicious activities.

David Crozier, 68, was ordered not to contact the SNP Ochil and South Perthshire politician for five years.
He previously admitted sending messages containing offensive and abusive comments aggravated by religious prejudice.
Crozier, of Mossbank, was sentenced at Lerwick Sheriff Court.
Procurator fiscal Duncan Mackenzie told the court the only reason Crozier corresponded with the MP, a practising Muslim, in May last year was her faith.
The anonymous letters were passed onto police, who contacted the office of local MP Alistair Carmichael to see if they had received any correspondence from the man.
'Let off steam'
The Liberal Democrat's team recognised the handwriting, which led police to "serial corresponder" Crozier.
Crozier initially told police that he was "expressing an opinion and exercising his right to freedom of speech" in the letters.
The fiscal added that the MP was left fearful for her safety while attending public events after receiving the letters.
Defence agent Tommy Allan said Crozier took to letter-writing to "let off steam" as he could not send emails or speak to friends in the pub.
Sheriff John Rafferty said that while Crozier had a right to express his opinions to politicians, his letters to Ahmed-Sheikh were "vile and gratuitously offensive" and had caused "considerable upset".

It means the 33-year-old, who joined Everton on Tuesday, will miss the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in January in Morocco - should Cameroon qualify.
The decision comes after he was dropped from Volker Finke's latest squad and lost the captaincy to Stephane Mbia.
"I wish to inform you that I hereby put a definitive end to my international career," he said on his Instagram page.
"On this occasion, I wish to thank all Africans in particular and all my fans around the world for their love and unconditional support."
The former Barcelona, Inter and Real Madrid player made his international debut in 1997 during a 5-0 defeat to Costa Rica.
He went on to become an Olympic gold medallist at Sydney 2000, scoring in the final against Spain to take the match to extra-time and also slotting home his kick in the penalty shoot-out victory.
Eto'o is the leading all-time scorer in the Nations Cup with 18 goals and he appeared at four World Cup finals - 1998, 2002, 2010 and 2014 - playing in eight matches and scoring three goals.
His last match for Cameroon was the 1-0 defeat by Mexico at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Meanwhile, compatriot Jean Makoun also announced his retirement on Wednesday after more than a decade of playing for the Indomitable Lions.

In May, Selby said Warrington was "running scared" after negotiations for a summer bout broke down.
"There's no way I'm ducking him - I want that fight so bad," Warrington told BBC Radio Leeds.
"I just want to make sure everything goes perfect, at the end of the year would have been ideal."
"The way they came back was they said I ducked the fight. After that I did cancel the wedding a couple of times, we rang the venue and said it's not going to happen because I've got boxing commitments.
"But I sat down with my manager and my dad and they said 'just don't jump to his bait, it will still be there at the end of the year and if he doesn't want it then that's his problem, it's him who's ducking'."

The drugs, said to have a street value of £500,000. were believed to have been destined for Jersey, which lies 14 miles (22km) from France.
A 57-year-old Irish national was arrested in Granville at the weekend and has appeared in court in France.
Following the arrest, Jersey authorities carried out "a number of searches" in the island.
Officers say the investigation is continuing.
Mark Cockerham, director of enforcement at Jersey Customs and Immigration, described the seizure as "significant".
"Had it been imported and distributed in Jersey this would have led to a large supply being available at user level," he said.
"Whilst we have seen a marked increase in the seizures of new psychoactive substances this year, this demonstrates that there is still a demand for class A drugs in Jersey."
During 2013, Jersey customs seized drugs worth £2.4m.

The department has ordered all schools and colleges in England to carry out fire safety checks.
Cladding on a secondary academy and a primary special school, both in London, was found to be "not of limited combustibility", says a DfE statement.
Both buildings have been declared safe after extra checks, it adds.
"As a precautionary step, both schools have already been inspected by the fire and rescue service, who confirmed appropriate measures are in place to mitigate the risks from potential fire, and the buildings have now been declared safe for continued use," says the statement.
The DfE ordered all England's 22,000 schools to carry out a fire safety survey following the blaze at west London's Grenfell Tower, in which at least 80 people are believed to have died.
And thousands of responses had now been received, a DfE spokesman said.
Schools with buildings over 18m (or about four storeys) high were also asked to send samples of any cladding of a similar type and structure to the aluminium composite cladding used at Grenfell for tests at the Buildings Research Establishment in Hertfordshire.
And the cladding at London Enterprise Academy, in Tower Hamlets, and The Bridge primary school, in Islington, had failed these safety tests, said the spokesman.
However, fire experts have been into both schools to ensure systems are in place for evacuation.
They had also advised that the design of these buildings meant the risk was not of the same order as that of housing, the spokesman added.
Checks by the Scottish government have found that no Scottish local authority-owned school buildings above 18m contain aluminium composite cladding of the type used at Grenfell.
The Scottish government has also asked universities and colleges to carry out fire assessments on their buildings and some cladding is being removed from a hall of residence at Edinburgh Napier University.
The Welsh government has also written to schools asking them to check the cladding on their buildings, with a particular focus on any buildings that are more than six storeys high.

Cladding on two of the schools so far tested following the Grenfell fire has failed combustibility tests, according to the Department for Education.

Sarah Khatri was targeted by two men after parking outside St Columba Church in Chantry Road, Moseley, Birmingham at about 09:45 GMT on 27 March.
The men tried to pull her out of the car before she was threatened with the blade and her Kia was stolen, police said.
West Midlands Police said an investigation has been launched.

It is the lastest attack following a spate of car-jackings in the city.
Mrs Khatri said: "I had got the engine running because it was quite chilly outside and then I noticed a shadow blocking out the light next to my side of the car.
"Next thing I know, I felt a jolt on the car and then I felt somebody opening the door."
While one of the attackers attempted to get in via the driver's door, a second man sat in the passenger seat.
Mrs Khatri, 37, initially fought back and managed to scream for help, until one of the men brandished a knife.
She said: "All I remember is him bringing it to my neck in slow mention, he looked me in my eye and just went 'get out the car'.
"I just thought enough, it's not worth it."
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "Officers were at the scene within minutes and we continue to make enquiries into the theft."

Adams became the first female boxer to win an Olympic gold medal when she triumphed at London 2012.
The 33-year-old from Yorkshire won the flyweight title again in Rio this year, the first British boxer to defend an Olympic crown for 92 years.
Asked about her future, she told the BBC: "If I was to go professional I could definitely break boundaries."
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live, Adams added: "I've had a few chats with quite a few promoters and I still need to think about what I really want to do.
"There is also Tokyo [Olympics in 2020] and acting which I'd love to pursue, but the professional boxing world would be a big challenge. Who knows, we could have a new world champion."
Adams highlighted the successful transition of former Olympic judo bronze medallist Ronda Rousey to Mixed Martial Arts, where she won the UFC bantamweight world title.
"Before her there weren't that many female MMA fighters anybody knew," Adams said.
"For me, coming from amateur boxing, people already know my name. I've already got a big following and if I take that into professional boxing that could change the game forever."
Adams was asked about British world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who could lose his boxing licence after revealing he took cocaine in an attempt to help deal with depression.
Fury, 28, also claimed he had retired on 3 October, only to retract the comment three hours later.
"With Team GB we have everything; doctors, nutritionists, psychologists - everything you could think of - and we don't need to worry about anything," Adams said.
"Maybe there needs to be that in the professional game, someone they can talk to.

The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, said growth next year would now by 1.4%, well down on previous forecasts for 2.2% growth.
The FTSE 100 was down 2 at 6817.71.
In the FTSE 250, news of the ban on letting agents' fees hit property stocks hard. Foxtons was among the worst fallers, losing 14%.
Countrywide was down 5% and Berkeley Group down 4%.
News of the ban was described as a "hammer blow" to estate agents.
Neil Wilson, markets analyst at ETX Capital, said: "Estate agents have suffered since the Brexit vote - shares in Foxtons are still trading down around 30% from their pre-referendum level amid falling client activity. Countrywide stock is now worth a third of what it was in May 2015."
Investors' minds were on the prospect of rising inflation with £23bn promised in the Autumn Statement for infrastructure spending.
Bonds fell and yields rose. The rate of return to investors on 10-year British government bonds rose by 0.1% to 1.466%.
Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets, said: "It would appear that bond investors are starting to price in the prospect of higher inflation expectations as he [Philip Hammond] announced extra spending on rail, telecoms and housing as he pushed back plans to balance the books by the end of the parliament."
Away from the Statement, United Utilities was initially among the top risers, up 3%, after it posted a small increase in half-year profits, but those gains eroded throughout the day and it closed with a 1% rise.
Shares in travel company Thomas Cook rose more than 5% despite it reporting a dip in full-year profits.
Underlying earnings fell by £2m to £308m in a year where the travel industry has been affected by terror attacks in Europe and political instability in Turkey.
But the results were slightly better than expected, and Thomas Cook also announced a dividend payment, of 0.5p a share, for the first time in five years.
On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.2% against the dollar to $1.2444, and gained 1% against the euro to €1.1794.

What is mental health?
Mental health is to do with how people think and feel, and how they are coping.
There are different types of mental health problems and they are treated in different ways.
It is perfectly normal to feel sad or worried from time to time, but if those feelings last a very long time or won't go away, this can be when there is a mental health issue.
In a speech on Monday morning, she said she wanted to make sure that "children and teenagers get the help and support they need and deserve".
She said one of the ways she wanted to do this was by helping schools to support pupils who might be having problems like anxiety or depression.
This will be done by:
•Providing more training for teachers, so they know what to do if someone in their class is having problems
•Help schools and colleges to link up with mental health experts in their areas, to make sure children have any support they might need
The prime minister also said that the UK government would be looking at the services that are available at the moment for children and teenagers, to see what is working and what isn't.
One of the issues is that people who have a mental health problem are not always treated in the same way as those diagnosed with a physical problem.
She said that, currently, the way people with mental health problems are treated is "inadequate".
For example, many children have to travel a long way from their homes in order to receive their treatment.
The prime minister said that by 2021, no child will have to do this anymore for a general mental health problem.
Overall, she said the government needs to do more to support people who may have mental health problems.
"[They] affect people of all ages and all backgrounds," she said.
"All of us need to do more to support all of our mental wellbeing."
Paul Farmer - the chief executive of Mind, which is a mental health charity - said it was "important to see the prime minister talking about [this]".

The UK's prime minister Theresa May has said she is going to provide more support to help young people who may be struggling with a mental health problem.

Sam Brown feared he would never see his watch again after it fell off when he fell in the River Orwell in July 2014.
But it was found last week during the annual dredging of the silt at the Suffolk Yacht Harbour.
The Rolex Sea Dweller was a 50th birthday present from his wife Camilla Herrmann, who gave it to him on the day their son was christened.
Ms Herrmann said her husband, who had a stroke three years ago which affects his mobility and speech, is "so delighted" to have it back.
The watch, which was designed for diving, was bought second-hand in 1990 and a replacement would now cost £6,500, Ms Herrmann said.
"It was one of the best presents I've ever given him. It's engraved on the back, saying 'to Sam from Camilla, with love and thanks'. It was not just a nice watch, but something that had quite a lot of significance on different levels," she said.
It "disappeared completely" when her husband, who is a former professional diver, fell in the river while walking down the jetty to their boat, she said.
"I normally wheel him, but it was a nice morning and he wanted to walk. He dropped his walking stick and he bent down to pick it up and he just kept on bending," she said.
He was taken to hospital and made a full recovery but remained upset about the watch, Ms Herrmann said.
"It was just sad. The most important thing though was that Sam was still with us," she said.
The couple, who have two sons, had "totally given up" on finding it until last Sunday when they received a phone call from someone who checks what is pumped out of the dredger.
It was found in the same area where Mr Brown dropped it. "I was stunned into silence, I didn't know what to say. It was absolutely extraordinary. He recognised it by the engraving on the back and managed to track us down" she said.
The watch now only works if you move it, but they will be sending it off to be repaired in the new year.
"I can't tell you how pleased he is. He was just wreathed in smiles when he got it. He was going around saying 'I can't believe it, I can't believe it'. He was more than touched," she said.

Europe's leaders could not accept that so many people have been dying, trying to reach their shores.
And even the United Nations had urged the EU to "go beyond its present minimalist approach."
So EU leaders have tripled funding for rescue operations in the Mediterranean.
Which takes it back to the level it was at a year ago but will it be enough?
Human rights groups are already criticising the summit for failing to expand the operational area of EU-led naval patrols, which could have taken them closer to the Libyan coast.
Unless the ships are in the right place, they argue, migrants will continue to drown.
Angela Merkel has said that if more is needed, more will be provided - money should not be an issue, she said.
That may well be put to the test in the coming weeks.
Europe's long term problem is that it is struggling to cope with the scale of what is happening on its southern shores.
It is facing a mass movement of people which is of historic proportions.
And even if naval operations manage to rescue the vast majority, there are bitter disputes about how to deal with the tens of thousands who make it to safety.
Britain, for example, has said it will provide significant naval support, but it won't accept more asylum seekers.
Some people in southern Europe say that's not enough. The burden has to be more equitably shared.
But there is no common asylum and immigration policy within the EU. Different countries have very different priorities.
It will take years to get the balance right. This summit is only the start.

Algerian TV broadcast footage of Mr Bouteflika's meeting with the prime minister and head of the armed forces a day earlier in the French capital.
He was seen in a black dressing gown, talking, drinking from a coffee cup, and eating a pastry.
Mr Bouteflika's absence has fuelled speculation about his condition.
In the footage broadcast on Wednesday, the 76-year-old leader was seen during a meeting at the National Residence of Invalids, a complex built for war veterans that includes a hospital.
Mr Bouteflika was taken there after being treated in Val de Grace military hospital.
He looked frail, talking and smiling occasionally and moving his right hand.
Algerian state media said he talked with Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal and Chief of Staff Ahmed Gaid Salah for two hours, covering the draft budget and other government business that needed to be approved by the cabinet.
Mr Bouteflika gave "detailed instructions" over the supply of goods ahead of the holy month of Ramadan, which begins in July, APS news agency reported.
It also issued a health bulletin saying that the president had suffered a transient ischaemic attack on 27 April that had "not affected his vital functions".
It said doctors had "recommended that he observe a period of convalescence and functional rehabilitation to consolidate his recovery".
Mr Bouteflika has been in power since 1999. His latest health problems are widely seen to have ended his chances of running for another term in presidential elections next year.

Shipped to Southampton, the train is part of the £7.5bn modernisation of the Great Western railway line.
It will be used as a test train by staff on the rail network from April.
The 122 trains, which are longer and faster than those currently in service, are expected to start carrying passengers in 2017.
Produced by Hitachi for the Intercity Express Programme, the trains will be used on Great Western and East Coast lines.
They are capable of running at up to 140mph (225kmph).
Of the trains ordered, 12 are being manufactured in Kudamatsu City and shipped over. The remaining 110 will be constructed in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham.

Burton made his Under-16s debut in a 1-0 victory in Spain in February.
The 15-year-old then had to pull out of the Montaigu Tournament in France in April after suffering a foot injury.
"It's great news for Callum who had the disappointment of having to withdraw from the last squad he was selected for," said Town boss Graham Turner.
"Callum comes in with the pros at least once a week and works with our goalkeeping coach Gavin Ward and he's making good progress.
"When he kept goal against the pros at the start of last season balls were flying past him, but now his reflexes are a lot better and he makes some good saves. There is a marked improvement in him."
Shrewsbury have produced a number of quality keepers, including the senior England side's current number one Joe Hart.
"You talk about Alan Boswell, Steve Ogrizovic, Ken Mulhearn. There's been some excellent goalkeepers here.
"Then there's Joe Hart obviously and hopefully Callum's going to be the next one on the line," Turner told the club's website.
Burton is one of six players in the England Under-16 squad (along with Leeds' Lewis Cook of Leeds, Middlesbrough pair Priestley Griffiths and Bradley Fewster and MK Dons duo Bamidele Alli and Brendan Galloway) not attached to a Premier League club.
Alan Boswell: Made 222 appearances before signing for Wolves in 1968
John Phillips: Oswestry-born, played 51 times before joining Villa in 1969. Understudy to Peter Bonetti at Chelsea. Four Welsh caps
Ken Mulhearn: Signed from Man City in 1971, made 370 appearances and was Graham Turner's first Town keeper
Bob Wardle: Spent two seasons with Town before leaving to go to Liverpool as part of Steve Ogrizovic deal in 1982
Steve Ogrizovic: Signed from Liverpool in 1982, played 84 games before signing for Coventry City for £72,500 in 1984
Joe Hart: Shrewsbury-born, twice sat on Town bench as 15-year-old. Played 54 games before joining Man City for an initial £600,000 in May 2006. Has now won 18 England caps.

Petty Officer Edward Devenney, 29, from Northern Ireland, was remanded in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
He was arrested in Plymouth on Tuesday morning and charged on Wednesday night.
He is accused of communicating information on 28 January 2012 "which could be deemed to be useful to an enemy of the state".
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police, which made the arrest, said several searches had been carried out as part of the operation but it was unable to give any more information about the incident.
PO Devenney did not enter a plea to the charge of disclosing information gained in contravention of section 1 of the Official Secrets Act 1911.
He is due to appear at the Old Bailey on 14 June.

Protesters at County Hall in Matlock earlier said the decision puts children's lives at risk.
Some 35 schools will lose their patrol, 19 have had vacant posts scrapped and a further 42 crossing guards will not be replaced if they leave.
The authority said it had chosen the sites carefully and the move would save it £320,000 a year.
Councillors approved the plans, despite receiving 28 petitions with a combined total of more than 16,000 signatures against the move.
Protester Lisa Pritchard said it was a "disgrace" that the authority had disregarded people's opinions.
"There's going to be an accident because the children rely on the services of the lollipop people," she said.
The council said the move was better than an original proposal to scrap all 189 patrols in Derbyshire and said it had little choice but to cut "non-statutory" services if it is to save £160m in the next five years.
Cabinet member for highways Dean Collins said the 35 sites that have lost their patrol were chosen because they have zebra or pelican crossings nearby.
"We can't keep providing non-statutory services at the level that we do," he said.
The patrols are likely to be axed in November or December, the council said.

The Pole came back from a break down and edged a dramatic tie-break before going on to win 7-6 (11-9) 6-3.
Broady, ranked 82nd, was playing in the second round of a Grand Slam, and up against a top-five opponent, for only the second time in her career.
Top seed Serena Williams beat fellow American Vania King 6-3 6-3.
Williams, chasing record seventh US Open and 23rd Grand Slam singles titles, earned her 306th Grand Slam win to tie Martina Navratilova's all-time record.
Romania's Simona Halep, the fifth seed, beat Czech Lucie Safarova 6-3 6-4, while sixth seed and two-time former champion Venus Williams beat Germany's Julia Goerges 6-2 6-3.
Radwanska could overtake Serena Williams and become world number one if results go her way at Flushing Meadows - but she was given a severe test by Broady on Louis Armstrong Stadium.
The 26-year-old from Stockport used her 6ft 2in frame to regularly send down serves above the 120mph mark, backing them up with 35 winners from the net and some flashing groundstrokes.
"She was serving unbelievable," Radwanska said. "120mph serves are not easy to return."
Radwanska, 27, recovered from 5-2 down to earn a tie-break in the first set and saw off four set points, with Broady failing to make three returns and sending a volley long.
It was Radwanska who prevailed when a Broady forehand floated long, but it had taken the former Wimbledon finalist 69 minutes to take the set, and she found herself 2-0 down in the second.
The errors were increasingly coming from Broady's end of the court, however, and Radwanska levelled at 2-2 before firing a backhand winner from out wide to get the decisive break at 4-4.
"I'm so pleased I could come back in that first set," said the Pole. "It was the key set. There was a lot of running and a lot of struggling but it was another two sets for me."

The 51-year-old man, who is thought to be from the Aberdeen area, was on the Carn Mor Dearg Arete when he fell.
The ridge is often used by experienced walkers as a more challenging way of reaching the summit of Ben Nevis.
The alarm was raised by his two companions on Friday morning. His body was recovered by the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team.
The man was airlifted to hospital in Fort William, where he has pronounced dead.
Mountain rescue team leader John Stevenson said conditions in the area were good at the time, and the walkers had been well-equipped for the mountains.
The man was the second to have died in the area this week.
The body of 60-year-old Ian Bell, from Hertfordshire, was found by the mountain rescue team on Carn Mor Dearg on Tuesday. He had been reported missing the previous day.
Earlier this week, the Lochaber team said it had been dealing with an "exceptional amount" of call-outs in recent months.

Charlie Stillitano, co-founder of the International Champions Cup, met with five Premier League clubs in March about the possible new format.
Leicester have since been included in this summer's pre-season Champions Cup.
"I would not want a closed league," Stillitano told BBC Radio Leicester.
"I would want these magical teams, like Leicester, to be a part of this."
Leicester, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, are seven points clear of Tottenham at the top of the Premier League with six games remaining.
The Foxes need 12 points from their final six games to become champions.
"Can you imagine if they were left out of the [Champions] League after what they've done? It would be absurd," continued the American. "They are maybe the [best] sports story ever.
"If they win the Premier League this year, I cannot think of any accomplishment bigger than what they're doing."
After last month's meeting with officials from Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, Stillitano said the change to the Champions League format was "being discussed all over Europe".
At the time, he was quoted as saying: "What would Manchester United argue: did we create soccer or did Leicester create [it]?"
Stillitano said his comments were "really unfairly treated", and that the opinions of Juventus president Andrea Agnelli and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, chairman of the European Clubs' Association, will shape the Champions League debate.
"I was very clear that I am not the architect, I am not behind it in any way, shape or form," Stillitano said.
"I was just commenting that different people are saying different things.
"You've had the real leaders of football talking about it, not me - some guy from New Jersey. All I was commenting on was that the conversation was out there, it's not mine.
"I think, honestly, that was misquoted."

The Alex finished bottom of League One, winning only seven of their 46 games.
Collins says he, head of recruitment Neil Baker and boss Steve Davis have all benefitted from the experience.
"The more time you spend together, you learn more about each other and that helps you in the difficult times," Collins, 38, told BBC Radio Stoke.
Crewe endured a wretched campaign last term, with their relegation back into League Two confirmed with a month of the season still to go.
Long-serving manager Davis, 50, was given the backing of chairman John Bowler with finances available to help build a promotion bid in 2016-17.
As the Alex prepare for that tilt, Collins is adamant the backroom staff better and wiser.
"As you can imagine, there were some dark times last season in that office," Collins said.
"You learn about each other's character and you move on and get stronger - I think that's what we've done.
"We all sit in the same office and discuss things - the team, the players, tactics or recruitment - and I think we work well together.
"Last season's gone and we start next season with all guns blazing."
Crewe have made one signing so far this summer with the return to the club of experienced striker Ryan Lowe.

A total of 7,132 weapons have been registered and boxed away, the UN says.
The monitors said they had also found and emptied 77 out of the Farc's 900 arms caches hidden around the countryside.
The arms handover is a key condition in last year's peace agreement.
The deal seeks to end more than five decades of conflict and negotiations between Colombia's largest left-wing rebel group and the government.
But US monitors have warned that the task of locating and emptying the Farc's remaining caches could take many months because of the difficulty in reaching them.
Some of them are reachable only by river or foot through dense jungle and mountain terrain.
Many are booby-trapped and need to be painstakingly dismantled.
Many Colombians are concerned that if there is any delay, these weapons could fall into the hand of criminals, paramilitaries or the ELN, Colombia's second-largest left-wing rebel group.
All these groups are seeking to occupy territory relinquished by the Farc under the peace deal and take over their drug-trafficking activities.
In the meantime, President Juan Manuel Santos, who won a Nobel Prize for his efforts in securing the peace deal with the Farc, is expected to attend a symbolic ceremony on Tuesday in the town of Mesetas, south of Bogota, to mark the end of the disarmament process.
Mesetas was once a Farc stronghold during the 52-year conflict with the state in which 260,000 people lost their lives.

Nicola Brown, 43, from Portsmouth, was also found guilty of two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to her son, Jake.
His father, Jason Brown, 44, was found not guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child.
Winchester Crown Court was told Jake had previously suffered 17 broken ribs.
As the verdicts were delivered, Nicola Brown shouted: "I didn't do it. I didn't do it."
Jurors heard how Jake died on 19 December 2014 due to "an impact to the head requiring substantial force".
The court was played a 999 call made by Brown, in which she said he had stopped breathing while she was feeding him.
She told the operator he had fallen out of his Moses basket the day before.
The broken ribs had been caused by an adult squeezing him, the court was told.
Brown had not informed her doctor she was expecting Jake and social services were alerted to the "concealed pregnancy".
Nigel Lickley QC, prosecuting, said Jake had been born in "unusual circumstances" at the couple's former home in Agincourt Road.
He said: "He arrived into this world by falling into and being caught by the pyjamas or tracksuit bottoms of Nicola Brown."
He said Brown, later of Seymour Road, had a "short fuse" and her attack on Jake was motivated by "anger".
Det Supt Scott MacKechnie said: "The treatment of newborn Jake by his own mother is very upsetting and shocking.
"This has been a complex investigation piecing together evidence of what occurred during Jake's 19 days of life, to establish how he died and who was responsible."
Portsmouth Safeguarding Children's Board confirmed a serious case review would be held into Jake's death.
Sentencing was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

The proposals would see control over policy, membership, constituency parties and candidate selection transferred to Scotland.
Ms Dugdale said the reforms would leave no doubt that "the main focus of Scottish Labour will be on Holyrood".
Earlier, The Sunday Times Scotland reported that Jeremy Corbyn plans to create a "federal" Labour party.
The paper also reported concerns within the party over the possibility of conflicting policies on UK-wide issues.
The role and responsibilities of Scottish Labour has been a major topic of discussion for party members since the Scottish independence referendum.
Former leader Johann Lamont resigned last October saying the Scottish party was being treated like a "branch office".
Greater autonomy could mean Labour develop different policies on issues such as welfare and Trident. Party members are set to discuss policy positions at the Scottish Labour conference in Perth this week.
Announcing her plans, Ms Dugdale said: "With these reforms there will be no doubt that the main focus of Scottish Labour will be on Holyrood, where the key decisions affecting the daily lives of Scots are made.
"It won't be the Commons, the Lords or the European Parliament. They are important, of course, but the most important focus of Scottish Labour will be on using the powers at Holyrood to transform the lives of people in Scotland."
Ms Dugdale will also speak at the weekly meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party in the House of Commons on Monday.
Speaking on Sky News, she urged the wider party to "learn from the mistakes" of Scottish Labour, adding: "There's a chance here to reform and innovate how our party is organised and structured, if we get it right then our party will be in a much better and fitter position for the future."
But the SNP claimed there was "chaos and confusion" over the operation of Scottish Labour.
A spokeswoman said: "Most people are fed up hearing about Labour's narrow internal divisions when there are more important issues, like welfare cuts, the EU migrant crisis or holding David Cameron's government to account, that should be the priority."

Mohammad Akhlaq was kicked and beaten with stones by a group of men in Dadri in Uttar Pradesh state on Monday night.
Mr Akhlaq's 22-year-old son was also seriously injured in the attack, and has been admitted to a hospital.
Six people have been arrested in connection with the incident. Police are probing who spread the rumour.
Slaughter of cows is a sensitive issue in India as the animal is considered sacred by Hindus, who comprise 80% of the country's 1.2bn people.
Uttar Pradesh is among a number of Indian states who have tightened laws banning cow slaughter and the sale and consumption of beef.
The beef ban has also provoked outrage with many questioning how the government decides what is on their plate.
Mr Akhlaq's family said the family had stored mutton, and not beef in their fridge. The police have taken the meat and sent it for testing, reports said.
"Some locals spread rumours that Akhlaq had cow meat at his home and engaged in cow slaughter. Following the rumours, they attacked his home," senior local official NP Singh told The Indian Express newspaper.
Senior police official Kiran S told the AFP news agency that the "announcement about the family consuming beef was made at a [local] temple".
The incident happened in a village, barely 50km (31 miles) away from the Indian capital, Delhi, where Mr Akhlaq, a farm worker, lived with his family.
His 18-year-old daughter Sajida told the newspaper that a "group of more than 100 people from the village" reached the house on Monday night.
"They accused us of keeping cow meat, broke down our doors and started beating my father and brother. My father was dragged outside the house and beaten with bricks," she said.
"We had come to know later that an announcement had been made from the temple about us eating beef...There was some mutton in the fridge...The police have taken it for examination."
Reports said local villagers, protesting against the arrests, had clashed with the police, and damaged a number of vehicles.
Eleven states - including Uttar Pradesh - and two union territories (federally-administered regions) in India ban slaughter of cows, calves, bulls and bullocks.

The 20-year-old from Leeds, appearing in his first Games, won Britain's seventh gymnastics medal in Brazil.
Germany's Fabian Hambuechen, silver medallist at London 2012, took gold with a score of 15.766, ahead of Danell Leyva of the United States (15.500).
Leyva pipped European champion Wilson's mark of 15.466 with the last routine of the final.
Wilson was the first British man to even qualify for an Olympic high bar final, having created history in May by winning the nation's first gold at the European Championships.
And securing bronze capped a remarkable week for British gymnastics in the Rio Olympic Arena.
Before Rio, Team GB had only ever claimed eight Olympic medals - two silver and six bronze - with four of those coming at London 2012.
Find out how to get into gymnastics with our special guide.
Starting third, Wilson moved second behind 28-year-old Hambuechen, but ahead of defending champion Epke Zonderland, who fell off the apparatus as he finished seventh.
Wilson remained in the silver-medal position until Leyva, going last in the eight-man field, overtook him.
Wilson's success came just 50 minutes after 16-year-old team-mate Amy Tinkler won bronze in the women's floor - becoming only the second British woman to win an individual gymnastics medal.
Dan Keatings, British gymnast and BBC Sport analyst:
"Team GB have seven medals now and we never thought we would ever get anywhere near that. It shows how strong our team is across the board."

The 27-year-old was out of favour under Westley and was transfer listed at his own request in January.
Since Westley's sacking, Randall has returned under caretaker boss Mike Flynn and was an unused substitute in the last two games.
"I thought Graham Westley treated me quite unfairly," he said.
"I'm happy to be back and hopefully I can contribute to Newport staying up."
Ex-Arsenal player Randall, who joined Newport on a two-year contract in May 2016, last played for the Exiles on 21 January in the 0-0 draw away to former club Barnet
County have won two of their three games since Flynn took charge, although they are seven points adrift of safety in League Two
Randall said there was a "good vibe" under Flynn and is looking forward to be involved in the side's bid to escape relegation.
"I've been off for a few weeks and got to get my sharpness back," Randall added.
"Everyone seems a lot happier and there's a lot more energy around the boys.
"We feel confident now that we're going to put up a really good fight and we've got enough energy to run around, which I think we struggled with."

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted hitting Marion Endecott in the face after boarding a 166 bus through Croydon on 16 October.
Ms Endecott told the court she had been left "petrified" by the attack and was "now always looking over her shoulder".
The judge said the attack was "very serious" and "could have killed her".
More on this story and other news from London
Croydon Youth Court heard the 14-year-old punched the pensioner after getting into an argument with the bus driver when she boarded with another female and refused to pay the fare.
After the row, Ms Endecott tried to leave the bus as she did not want to be delayed and lived nearby.
The girl then laughed and when Ms Endecott said it was not funny, she responded by punching her in the face, the court heard.
Reading the victim's statement in court, prosecutor Jonathan Efemini said the pensioner had "enjoyed using the buses, the independence they gave me".
"Since I was attacked I am now so frightened... Even in my house, when I hear a creak, I get scared someone is there", the statement said.
Raheema Jamal, mitigating, said the girl, who lives in care, had a troubled childhood that contributed to her actions.
District judge Peter Greenfield said a police interview had shown the girl "seemed to apportion blame on the lady, which is incredible".
The youngster was sentenced to 16 weeks, with half to be spent in detention before she must undergo a rehabilitation programme.

Peru produces more cocaine than any other country and anti-narcotics agents say most of it is smuggled to the US.
The bill was passed unanimously 89-0 and is expected to be signed into law by President Ollanta Humala.
However, officials say the US has expressed its opposition to restoring so-called aerial interdiction.
Peru halted the tactic in 2001 after an American missionary and her infant daughter were killed in an attack on a plane wrongly identified as carrying drugs.
The plane was brought down by the Peruvian Air Force but it was a joint operation with the CIA.
The US, which sponsors anti-drugs programmes across South America, has opposed attacks on suspected drug planes since then.
Other countries in the region - including Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela and Bolivia - already permit such planes to be shot down, albeit with strict guidelines.
Officials in Peru say about half of the cocaine crossing its border is being taken via small planes to Bolivia.
Peruvian congressman Carlos Tubino, who wrote the legislation, said the government could no longer allow traffickers to defy its laws.
Mr Tubino said there were about 600 drug flights a year in Peru, adding: "Just today there were two flights!"
President Humala vowed to make combating drug trafficking a priority when he took office in 2011.
His government has eradicated a record amount of coca crops with US assistance but has been criticised for seizing a relatively small amount of cocaine and leaving the air link to Bolivia undisturbed.

The Peruvian Congress has approved legislation that allows the country's air force to shoot down small planes suspected of carrying illegal drugs.

US employers added 222,000 jobs in June, the US Labor Department said. The figure was higher than expected, following a separate survey that had suggested weaker hiring.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 1.04% to 6,153.08.
The Dow Jones hit 21,414.34, up 0.4% and the S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to 2,425.18.
All three indexes closed higher than they had a week prior.
Technology stocks, which had been under pressure after a surge earlier in the year, led the gains.
Amazon shares increased 1.4% on Friday after a report that its Prime subscriber service had attracted 85 million members in the US - more than a quarter of the country's population.
Apple, Microsoft, Apple and Netflix also all gained more than 1%.
Credit card companies - which stand to benefit if interest rates rise - were also among the winners, as the jobs gain boosted expectations that the Federal Reserve would maintain its plan to raise interest rates further.
Visa and American Express shares both climbed 0.7%.

Officers were called to the property after the woman was found dead at 13:10 on Friday, 12 February.
A "major investigation" is now under way, with police reviewing CCTV and conducting door-to-door inquiries.
Det Supt David McLaren, from Police Scotland's major investigation team, said officers believe the woman may have worked as a prostitute.
He said: "There is no doubt that this incident will raise concerns in Aberdeen and the wider community but I would like to take this opportunity to reassure the public that a significant police investigation has commenced and all efforts will be made to trace the person or people responsible.
"A priority for us is establishing the woman's recent movements, identify who she may have been in contact with and ultimately determine what happened to her prior to her being found on Friday afternoon.
"Investigations are at a very early stage however a line of inquiry at this time is the suggestion that the woman may have been involved in prostitution and as such Police Scotland is actively engaging with support groups nationally.
"I am appealing for anyone who may have any information that would assist us with our inquiry to speak to us. We would ask that people remain vigilant and follow personal safety advice."

Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire is used by hundreds of soldiers training to use ordnance and armoured vehicles.
The MoD fears both bikers and 4x4 drivers may not see the soldiers during exercises and so should stick to designated routes.
Wiltshire Police says rule breakers could be fined or end up in court.
Lt Stew Andrews, the training area commander, said the land "might have an exploding ordnance on it or other military debris on it".
"For now, we've got 2,000 troops using the plain right now - heavily armoured... these guys are out there trying to train to fight a war.
"If you've got people on the same area then you're going to have a clash of interest.
"The most important thing that everyone should know is it's a safe place to train, it's a safe place to work, a safe place to do your recreational activity and if you're not following the rules it's a problem - and you may get hurt."
The Army said there had been "a spike" in the number incidents of recreational users seen on Salisbury Plain. It did not disclose details of the number of incidents.
PC Ian Cooke, from Wiltshire's Military Community Police Team, said everyone was welcome on the plain - but those caught away from designated routes could be issued with a £50 fine.
"But more importantly those doing this are risking their lives and the lives of others," he added.
Enduro racing champion Daryl Bolter said: "The Salisbury Plain is a massive area and there's lots of places that look [good] to ride but they are illegal.
"On the flip side there are a lot of places out there that not many people know about are legal - and are just as good."

Paul Treacy took possession of more than 50,000 marbles after his friend Russell Nixon was killed in an alleged attack in Chippenham in May.
Mr Treacy said: "He always said he wanted it to go to a children's charity, but he was a hoarder and didn't like letting go of things."
He is now appealing for a charity or a hospice to take on the marble hoard.
The collection includes a wheelie bin and several 5ft 6in (1.7m) tubes stuffed with thousands of multi-coloured marbles.
"He had these tubes - 25 or 30 of them - all around his bungalow and these 1ft tall, large, chunky jars all over the place filled with marbles," said Mr Treacy.
"It's very hard to estimate, but I would say there is at least 50,000."
Mr Treacy said his friend turned to marble collecting "as a way of coping" with his "troubled childhood".
"He started collecting marbles, just a few hundred at a time, and over the years he just kept on collecting and collecting until it was in the tens of thousands," he said.
"Maybe a children's charity or someone could really benefit from this - then it will all be worth it as far as I'm concerned."
Mr Nixon died following an alleged assault in London Road, Chippenham, in the early hours of 10 May.
A 22-year-old has been charged with his murder and is due to appear in court again in October.

The Irish FA deal is said to be worth £500,000 a year and will run until the end of the next Euro qualifying series.
O'Neill, 46, appointed in December 2011, will become the highest-paid manager in Northern Ireland's history.
In June, Northern Ireland will play in the final stages of a major tournament for the first time since 1986.
Uncapped duo named in Northern Ireland squad
The contract extension, which will begin after Euro 2016, will include a release clause which would see the IFA being entitled to compensation if O'Neill was to be lured into club management.
Last October, O'Neill told BBC Sport his preference was for a four-year deal, rather than the IFA's usual two-year policy.
O'Neill's side won their qualifying group, finishing ahead of Romania and Hungary. The team won six and lost one of their 10 games.
They will face matches against Poland, Ukraine and Germany at the finals in France, with the first match on 12 June.
O'Neill became Northern Ireland manager in December 2011 after taking League of Ireland club Shamrock Rovers to the Europa League group stages.
In December, the former international midfielder was named coach of the year at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year ceremony.

Emergency rescue crews began a major operation just after 09:00 BST but later said the alert was a false alarm.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the swimmer had been identified and was safe and well.
The woman was reported missing after she was seen going into the sea but was not seen coming out.
Sussex Police said a member of the public had raised the alarm after seeing an abandoned pair of flip flops and a woman diving into the sea, but not returning.
A coastguard helicopter and three lifeboats were sent to the scene along with the police and RNLI to join in the search.
The operation came just four days after five men died at the beach in East Sussex on the hottest day of the year.
Police said a woman matching the description of the swimmer called the RNLI at about 11:45 to identify herself.
A spokesman for the force said: "The search has been called off and police are no longer dealing."
A temporary RNLI lifeguard service has been in place at Camber Sands over the bank holiday weekend after five men died there on Wednesday.
Relatives of those who died had criticised the lack of lifeguards on the beach.

In it he says the most important people in his life have been women, noting the sacrifices made by his wife, Michelle.
He concludes that "21st century feminism" is "the idea that when everybody is equal, we are all more free".
The full article is published in Glamour magazine.
Earlier this year President Obama told a conference on women in Washington "this is what a feminist looks like".
His comments come in the year that Hillary Clinton sealed the Democratic nomination for president, the first time a woman has held the ticket for either major party in the US.
In the essay, Mr Obama says that an unexpected gift of his job has been that living in the White House gave him more opportunity to see his daughters grow up.
"One thing that makes me optimistic for them is that this is an extraordinary time to be a woman," he says.
"The progress we've made in the past 100 years, 50 years, and, yes, even the past eight years, has made life significantly better for my daughters than it was for my grandmothers. And I say that not just as president but also as a feminist."
But he adds much more progress needs to be made towards equality, saying "all too often we are still boxed in by stereotypes about how men and women should behave".
And he admits that the burden of childcare fell disproportionately on his wife.
Mr Obama has faced occasional criticism in the past over comments about women, apologising in 2013 after describing California attorney general Kamala Harris as the "best-looking" such official in the country.

Complaints from iPhone and iPad users updating to iOS 10 flooded social media after the software was rolled out on Tuesday.
Discussion around the issue was trending on social media - but Apple said it was limited to a “small number of users”.
Bricking is a term used to describe devices that have been rendered unusable due to a software or hardware fault - as in, the device is now as useful to you as a brick.
The firm apologised to affected customers.
"We experienced a brief issue with the software update process, affecting a small number of users during the first hour of availability,” an Apple spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.
"The problem was quickly resolved and we apologise to those customers.
"Anyone who was affected should connect to iTunes to complete the update or contact AppleCare for help."
The roll out of iOS 10 comes a week before the iPhone 7 goes on sale. In the mean time, existing owners of Apple devices vented their frustration at the problem.
"Currently sitting here with a bricked iPhone full of photos with a recent family visit,” wrote Courtney Guertin on Twitter.
Teething
It is not the first time Apple has had teething problems in rolling out major updates.
When users tried to update to iOS 5 in 2011, high demand appeared to be behind users getting multiple error messages when trying to update.
More recently, in February this year, Apple faced criticism after an update started bricking devices if they had been repaired by a company other than Apple.
Apple apologised for the problem and issued a software update to fix the issue.
It said Error 53, as it became known, was in fact security measure designed to make sure the fingerprint sensor on the device had not been tampered with.

Majid Akhtar, 28, who had epilepsy, drowned at Kings Mill Reservoir, near Mansfield, in September 2012.
Nikki Deaney, a day centre care assistant from Springwood Day Centre, spent 19 minutes on the phone in a 34-minute period while supervising him.
A narrative verdict was recorded at Nottingham Coroner's Court.
The jury statement said: "The death resulted from the failure of one-to-one care when the carer became distracted whilst using her mobile telephone.
"While unsupervised [Majid Akhtar] probably fell unconscious via a seizure which meant he was unable to prevent himself from drowning."
The inquest heard that Ms Deaney also exchanged eight text messages in the time she was supervising Mr Akhtar.
Mr Akhtar, who had a mental age of four, had taken part in water sports with other people at the reservoir earlier in the day.
The court had earlier heard that his care plan stipulated he was "very vulnerable, with no concept of danger and needed one-to-one care at all times".
Mrs Deaney told police in a statement she had lost sight of Mr Akhtar for about three seconds.
His body was found by two people who were walking their dog at the reservoir. He was later pronounced dead at King's Mill Hospital, Sutton-in-Ashfield.

Sanjay Salhorta, 26, of Clarence Street, Southall, was found guilty of murdering Harinder Ratten near his home on 4 January.
Police said Salhorta killed the 41-year-old after he previously attacked him in his car, only for Mr Ratten to hit him with a crowbar in retaliation.
He was sentenced at the Old Bailey to serve a minimum of 26-and-a-half years.
During the first attack on 20 December 2014, Harinder Ratten had been sitting in his car when a man in a hooded top opened the door, struck him in the face and demanded he get out of the vehicle.
Mr Ratten retaliated by hitting the attacker with a crowbar until the attacker fled.
Tests done on the crowbar after the 41-year-old's death found blood on it belonged to Salhorta.
In January, Mr Ratten was found lying in the road with multiple stab wounds.
After the stabbing, Salhorta hid in a nearby alleyway where he dropped the murder weapon. This was found by the police with Mr Ratten's DNA upon it.
Salhorta then went to the house of a friend, Inderjit Bhachu, who also lived in Clarence Street.
He changed clothes in the house before the pair drove to Staines where they burnt Salhorta's clothing.
Bhachu, 28, also of Clarence Street, was sentenced to four years in prison after previously pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice.
He was cleared of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm with intent.
Det Ch Insp Simon Aswin of the Metropolitan Police said it was "a brutal attack for nothing other than for Sanjay Salhotra to save face".
"I am pleased that Salhotra and Bachu now face a considerable prison sentences," he said.
