35,354,004 | Konika Dhar said she was "clinging" to the hope her brother Siddhartha was not the masked man in the footage, in which five people were shown being killed.
But, speaking to MPs at Westminster, she said her family did not know who to turn to when he left for Syria in 2014.
They fear he was brainwashed, Ms Dhar told the home affairs committee.
Her appearance before the committee came as the government launched a new website for schools and parents as part of a renewed drive against extremism.
Mr Dhar, who is in his early 30s and from Walthamstow, east London, is also known as Abu Rumaysah. He left the UK while on bail following his arrest for encouraging terrorism.
In the video footage posted online earlier this month, a masked man holding a gun mocks Prime Minister David Cameron.
She said she had not had official verification that the figure in the video was her brother.
"I am still holding to the firm belief what I am seeing is not him," she said.
She said she would not "give up" on her brother and still wanted him to come home.
"I want him home because I'm determined for him to return to the person I remember," she added.
Ms Dhar described the brother she grew up with as "fun-loving, laid-back, easy-going, very friendly".
Conservative MP Nus Ghani said that if Ms Dhar's brother was involved with the Islamic State group he was "probably engaged in slaving, beheading and raping".
The MP for Wealden struggled to control her emotions as she described an interview in the media with a victim of Islamic State militants.
"One of the women states 'one of the saddest things I remember is this little girl, 12 years old, and they raped her without mercy'," she said.
"These are the activities your brother has engaged in - do you still think he's a good man?"
Ms Dhar replied: "I think this is quite a sort of sensitive topic to talk about. My opinion will always be biased because he's my brother.
"I don't want to believe he is who he is today."
Asked by the committee chairman, Keith Vaz, whether she felt support or counselling should be made available to families of relatives who had travelled to Syria to fight with Islamic State militants, Ms Dhar said it would be of help.
And she said it would have "absolutely" been a good idea if there had been organisations to speak to at the time her brother was turning to extremism.
"I think this is one thing that needs to be addressed, because for me personally it was very difficult to know who to turn to," she said.
"It's important for other families to know what are the appropriate steps one needs to take in order to get their loved one back, who is the right person to contact."
Ms Dhar told MPs her family were "in the dark" over how her brother became radicalised.
Her brother, who was raised in a Hindu family, converted to Islam as a teenager but there was, Ms Dhar added, a "long transition period" before he adopted his extreme views.
She said there were "signs that someone ought to have picked up on" but no-one could have predicted her brother, who grew up playing basketball and supporting Arsenal football club, would have joined IS.
She described him as "keeping his private life private" and said she did not attend his wedding.
Ms Dhar said she had made many attempts to contact her brother but only had "two responses" since he has been in Syria. | The sister of the Briton suspected of fronting a recent Islamic State group video says more support is needed for relatives worried about radicalisation. |
40,771,900 | The chancellor told French newspaper Le Monde that tax raised as a percentage of the British economy "puts us right in the middle" of European countries.
"We don't want that to change, even after we've left the EU," he added.
It has been viewed as a softer tone from Mr Hammond, who in January said the UK would do "whatever we have to do" post-Brexit to stay competitive.
But Labour said Mr Hammond was "in open dispute" with himself.
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason says that having lost their majority at this year's general election, the Conservatives would struggle to persuade the Commons to support slashing taxes and regulation.
In his latest interview, Mr Hammond told Le Monde: "I often hear it said that the UK is considering participating in unfair competition in regulation and tax.
"That is neither our plan nor our vision for the future.
"I would expect us to remain a country with a social, economic and cultural model that is recognisably European."
Our correspondent said those words "appeared to be at odds with some of his own comments earlier this year".
During an interview in January, Mr Hammond was asked by Welt am Sonntag whether the UK could become a tax haven after leaving the EU.
He said he was "optimistic" about securing a good trade deal with the EU but if this did not happen "you can be sure we will do whatever we have to do".
"If we have no access to the European market, if we are closed off, if Britain were to leave the European Union without an agreement on market access, then we could suffer from economic damage at least in the short-term," he said at the time.
"In this case, we could be forced to change our economic model and we will have to change our model to regain competitiveness."
Labour said Mr Hammond was now contradicting what he had said at the start of the year.
"The truth is that the British people will not believe the fake U-turn of a Tory chancellor in a French newspaper, while he is still going ahead with billions of pounds in corporation tax giveaways in this parliament, and refuses to rule out further cuts," said shadow minister Peter Dowd.
In his latest interview, Mr Hammond also said the UK wanted EU workers be part of the British economy and carry on with their family life in the country, and the same for British expats working in Europe.
He said the bill for Brexit was not a question about money, but how the UK leaves the EU without causing problems for businesses and people.
Breaking up the City of London would benefit New York not Frankfurt or Paris, he added.

39,041,286 | The rates advisory firm CVS asked every local authority how many companies had been issued with a summons for the last financial year.
It found that nearly 200,000 businesses had been summoned to court.
That amounted to one in every eight businesses on average, with an even higher proportion in London.
The research also found that nearly half of firms issued with a summons went on to be referred to bailiffs for enforcement proceedings.
Middlesbrough borough council topped the list of authorities which issued the most summonses, with 25% of its businesses receiving a request to appear before the courts.
It was followed by the London borough of Waltham Forest with 22%.
Dartford borough council, Manchester city council, along with Ealing and Haringey councils in London, sued 21% of the their local businesses for non-payment.
The survey suggests that in London a total of 39,098 businesses were told to appear before the courts for non-payment of rates, a figure which represents 16% of all businesses in the capital.
CVS advises companies on their rent and rate valuations.
Its chief executive, Mark Rigby, said the figures he had collected highlighted how the system was criminalising struggling businesses.
"With budget constraints and deficits, we need to be more creative at the way we look at taxation so I am left in no doubt that business rates need to be looked at more holistically within the overall context of the economy, and other taxes, but not simply as a guaranteed revenue stream," he said.
The next business rates revaluation comes into effect in England on 1 April - the first for seven years - along with similar changes in Scotland and Wales.
On average, all areas are seeing their rates fall, except London, where bills will rise an average 11% this year.
The government says that within the overall change, 510,000 ratepayers will see their bills increase, 920,000 will see their bills fall and 420,000 experience no change.
Mr Rigby said this meant that in London businesses would end up paying an extra £9.4bn over the next five years.
The government has come under increasing pressure to soften the blow for the businesses which will receive higher bills.
Although more firms will benefit than lose, the changes are causing controversy because some firms will see huge bill increases over the five years in which the increases will be phased in.
Business rates are based on property values which are revalued every five years.
However the government delayed the last revaluation by two years, which means April will see the burden shifting for the first time in seven years, and which has produced some dramatic swings.
This latest research from CVS will add to the pressure for a fundamental rethink of the tax, which campaigners say is outdated for the digital age.
The Freedom of Information (FOI) request was sent by the firm to all the 347 billing authorities in England and Wales.
A total of 280 councils responded, covering 1.6 million properties, or 83% of all those liable for business rates.
A government spokesman said: "The vast majority of businesses pay their bills on time and more than 98% of business rates are collected."
"It's only fair on hard-working taxpayers that councils chase up all outstanding debts." | Thousands of businesses across England and Wales were taken to magistrates courts last year for non-payment of their business rates. |
31,235,403 | It was necessary to confiscate Yuichi Sugimoto's passport in order to protect his life, the authorities said.
The 59-year-old photographer, who had planned to enter Syria on 27 February, described the move as a threat to the freedom of press.
Two Japanese hostages were killed by Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria in January.
However, Mr Sugimoto told reporters that he had no intention to visit areas controlled by IS.
It is said to be the first time the Japanese government has taken such a step.
The foreign ministry says it is in accordance with a provision in the country's passport law, that allows a confiscation in order to protect the passport holder's life.
Mr Sugimoto, who has covered conflict zones in Iraq and Syria before, insists he has always taken precautions and retreated when in danger.
"What happens to my freedom to travel and freedom of the press?" he told the Japanese paper Asahi Shimbun.
He said he was planning to travel to Turkey before entering Syria with a former soldier who had previously worked for Kenji Goto, a fellow journalist who was taken hostage, and killed in Syria last month.
A second Japanese citizen, Haruna Yukawa, was also kidnapped and killed by IS militants.
After the handling of the hostage crisis, approval ratings for the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe have gone up, recent polls show.
Two separate surveys conducted by the Yomiuri newspaper and Japan's news agency Kyodo indicate that up to 60% of people approve of the way the government dealt with the crisis.
A similar percentage also said Japan's support to countries affected IS should continue to be non-military.
In January, Mr Abe promised $200m (£130m) in non-military aid for countries fighting Islamic State.
Officials said that much of the $200m fund would be focused on helping refugees displaced from Syria and Iraq. | Japan's authorities have seized the passport of a journalist planning to travel to Syria, local media say. |

As he spoke after his side secured fourth place in the Premier League on the final day of last season, it was pretty obvious what manager Jurgen Klopp was getting at.
Playing in Europe's premier club competition attracts a higher calibre of player, and is therefore likely to bring about more on-field success.
It should also ensure you keep your best talent.
Yet Liverpool are reportedly facing a fight to keep their star man at Anfield this summer.
Spanish giants Barcelona are sniffing around Philippe Coutinho and are, apparently, willing to pay £80m for the Brazil attacking midfielder.
But former Reds defender Mark Lawrenson does not think the club can afford to lose him.
BBC Sport analyses what Coutinho brings to Liverpool, how they would replace him if he did leave and looks at the Reds' other summer transfer business.
Since arriving from Inter Milan for £8.5m in January 2013, Coutinho has developed into Liverpool's most potent attacking threat.
That was particularly true last season, when the Reds finished inside the top four for the first time since they were pipped to the title in 2013-14. Coutinho, 25, enjoyed his most productive season since arriving at Anfield.
"They would miss his goals and assists, and they are a completely different team with him," said Lawrenson, who helped the Reds win 12 major trophies between 1981 and 1988.
"He's a massive influence on the other players. Roberto Firmino, particularly, thrives off him and you can see the reaction of Adam Lallana, Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum too.
"When your best player is playing, and playing well, you are a different side. He has that spark, a bit of magic that lifts the other players.
"All those players also get more room when Coutinho is playing because he is identified as the player to stop."
If Coutinho did leave for La Liga, how would Liverpool - who insist he is not for sale - attempt to replace him?
"I think Liverpool would try to adapt by buying a similar player - attacking midfielder, a number 10. Or Klopp might go and splash out on a striker," said Lawrenson.
"But everyone is looking for those sort of players who provide that bit of magic. Who do you get?"
That's a question only Klopp and the Liverpool hierarchy can answer.
Liverpool's main transfer targets appear to be RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita and Southampton captain Virgil van Dijk. The Reds are not being linked with many attacking players.
That will change if Coutinho does leave for the Nou Camp.
Klopp might have one solution already at his disposal: Daniel Sturridge.
The injury-hit striker, 27, has been restricted to just 46 league appearances in the past three seasons, but Klopp says the England international is in the "best condition" he has been in during the German's time at Anfield.
"There have been a lot of false dawns with Daniel because of all the injuries," said Lawrenson, who won 39 caps for the Republic of Ireland. "There is no issue whatsoever with his ability. The issue is keeping him - or getting him - on the pitch.
"I think Klopp wants to keep him. It is a big season for Daniel because he has to persuade everybody, including the supporters, that he is capable of playing and scoring on a regular basis.
"He has the ability to score and make goals for himself. He sees things at times even Coutinho doesn't see. But it is no good if he is sat in the stands every week."
Liverpool, who finished 17 points adrift of champions Chelsea last season, have been relatively frugal in the transfer market compared to their top-four rivals.
The Reds have spent about £44m so far this summer on Roma right-winger Mohamed Salah and Hull City left-back Andrew Robertson, also signing teenage Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke for a fee to be decided by a tribunal.
"Liverpool have not invested enough to make the step up from scraping into the top four to challenging for the title," Lawrenson said.
"The problem is Liverpool haven't got that kind of money and the other big guns are strengthening by the day and spending so much money.
"They still need a couple more players, and if Coutinho goes then that couple might go to four."
The Reds are willing to pay a club record fee for Keita - who has a £70m price tag - while they are still being linked with Dutch defender Van Dijk, despite insisting last month their interest had ended.
Lawrenson agrees these two areas - a "top-class" centre-back and a midfielder with "guile" - should be Klopp's priorities.
"I think they will end up getting Van Dijk," Lawrenson, a former centre-back, said. "I have no inside knowledge but it would appear he wants to come to Liverpool.
"He brings quality, can play from the back, which is great, and with four centre-backs - Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan - it brings competition for places.
"Bringing in a quality player improves the games of the players around them. It keeps everyone on their toes.
"If you know you are going to play in week in, week out it is never quite the same.
"If you turn up on Friday and think 'I didn't play very well last week, am I going to play?' it is completely different."

Keita, a 22-year-old Guinea international, could also be the solution to the other area of weakness Lawrenson has identified.
He made 31 appearances in the 2016-17 Bundesliga campaign, scoring eight goals and assisting seven following his summer move from sister club RB Salzburg last year.
"I think Liverpool lack a bit of guile in midfield," said Lawrenson. "And that's even with Coutinho in the side.
"Jordan Henderson back and fit is a massive bonus, while Emre Can is up and down, up and down, and never stops.
"But I want what I would label a 'clever' midfielder. Someone in there who sees the bigger picture.
"If you look at their results against so-called lesser teams, they were nowhere near as good as the results against the other top five or six teams.
"The top teams come and play and back themselves to beat you. All the others come and stop you playing.
"You can't have enough people who can unlock the door. And that includes Coutinho." | "A club like Liverpool needs to be in the Champions League." |
35,801,362 | Playing in a Mumbai Cricket Association XI, left-armer Willey removed Joe Root, Moeen Ali and Chris Jordan with the last three balls in England's 177-8.
The hosts replied with 163-6 as James Vince, another England player, made 45 at the Brabourne Stadium.
England start their World T20 campaign against West Indies on Wednesday.
Willey, who finished with 3-35, Vince, Adil Rashid and Jos Buttler played for the hosts as England used their second practice match to give all 15 members of their squad a game.
Rashid took 2-32 with his leg-spin, dismissing Jason Roy for 32 and fellow opener Alex Hales for 37.
Root supplied valuable late impetus with 48 off 34 deliveries, after Ben Stokes fell for 30 to spark a collapse of five wickets for 15 runs.
"There were a few verbals around as you'd expect, mostly from Jos, but it was just good fun," said Root.
Jay Bista led Mumbai's reply by hitting Jordan's first delivery for six on his way to a rapid 51, while Vince threatened to pull off a shock win as he struck four fours and a six in his 38-ball innings.
It was not until Jordan bowled Buttler for 25 with an inswinging yorker in the penultimate over that England's victory was assured. He finished with 2-34 and Reece Topley 2-26.
In Monday's other warm-up match in Kolkata, Pakistan beat defending champions Sri Lanka by 15 runs thanks to Imad Wasim's 4-25.
England - World T20 champions in 2010 - chased 170 to beat New Zealand by six wickets in their first warm-up match on Saturday.
Root said: "The guys have stepped up and performed under pressure.
"That's exactly what we need if we are to be very successful at this tournament. Now it's about doing it when it counts.
"The best thing is we've got these experiences to call on when the tournament starts and we're actually under real pressure when it really matters." | England won their final World Twenty20 warm-up game by 14 runs despite one of their own bowlers, David Willey, taking a hat-trick against them. |
39,732,607 | The online retailer said it would begin recruiting later this year for a range of permanent roles at the Omega site in Warrington, near junction 8 of the M62.
A spokesman for Warrington Borough Council said Amazon had signed a 15-year lease in a £30m deal.
Warrington is one of four new so-called "fulfilment centres" that Amazon will open this year, creating 5,000 new jobs in the United Kingdom.
A site in Daventry, Northamptonshire opened in February, while Doncaster, Tilbury in Essex, and Warrington are set to begin operations in the autumn.
The retailer said the posts will include operations managers, engineers, HR and IT specialists.
The Omega business park is owned by Miller Developments, the Homes and Communities Agency and Warrington Borough Council.
Warrington South MP David Mowat said: "Warrington was recently ranked as the number two town in the country in which to do business, so it's no surprise that a major international organisation is keen to do business here and employ local people.
"Our unemployment rate has more than halved since 2010 and this looks set to continue."
Last year Amazon defended its employment practices after a BBC investigation. | Amazon is to create 1,200 jobs at a new warehouse in Cheshire. |
33,570,594 | They were among 20 people held a week ago in city of Ordos, Inner Mongolia. The other 11 were deported earlier.
Their tour arrived from the region of Xinjiang where China complains Muslims are being radicalised by jihadi clips.
A charity linked to the group said they may have viewed "devotional" films.
The others being deported are three South Africans and an Indian national. The 11 members of the group who were earlier released from a detention centre and deported were made up of six Britons and five South Africans.
The tour group, most of whom were Muslim and included doctors, businesspeople and elderly couples, were detained on 10 July.
Police have not outlined details of the case but state media reported the claim about the videos being watched.
BBC China editor Carrie Gracie said the charity with links to the group said they may have been viewing films as part of their prayer activities.
The South Africa-based Gift of the Givers Foundation, disaster relief organisation, previously said it had been contacted by relatives of some of the group asking for help although it was not involved in the organisation of the visit.
The foundation said the group were on a 47-day tour to explore the sites of ancient China and were taken into custody 30 days into their excursion.
In a statement on its Facebook page it said the tour went "horribly wrong" when the party was arrested at Ordos Airport last Friday.
"They were detained without charge with no access to any communication nor to legal representation.
"The Chinese, now trying to find reasons for the detention, suggested that some members were linked to a terror group, to a banned organisation, to watching propaganda videos in their hotel room."
A spokesman for the South African government quoted by Reuters said the last of its five detained nationals would leave China on Saturday. He said the Chinese authorities had not indicated why the group was held.
South Africa's foreign affairs minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane said South Africa's Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa had been in the country on an official visit and took up the case with his Chinese counterparts.
The UK Foreign Office earlier said it had "requested an explanation from the Chinese authorities about the reasons for detaining these individuals".
Responding to the latest reports, a Foreign Office spokesman confirmed that officials had been informed that the three British nationals were to be deported.
He added: "Our consular staff have visited the group and have received assurances from the Chinese government about their health and treatment.
"We are in regular contact with the Chinese authorities both in Ordos and Beijing." | Nine tourists, including three Britons and two UK-South African nationals, are to be deported from China, amid reports members of their group had been watching "terrorist" videos. |
36,932,521 | Separate funerals for cousins, Barney McGinley, 29, and Dermot Boyle, 19, took place on Saturday afternoon in Letterkenny.
They died after their car struck a van head-on on the dual carriageway at 04:45 BST on Wednesday.
Meanwhile the three young people who died in another head on-collision on Thursday will be buried on Sunday.
Steven McCafferty and Kaylem Murphy, both 19 years old, and Teresa Robinson, 20, will be buried following separate funerals.
They were killed in a head-on collision with another vehicle in the Drumkeen area, near Letterkenny at 01:00 local time.
Gardai are trying to determine the cause of that crash. | The funerals of five young people who died in two separate crashes in County Donegal are to take place this weekend |
36,408,082 | It is thought they had been in a dinghy and returning to their yacht after visiting the Hotel Eilean Iarmain in Isleornsay.
An emergency call was made at 01:20 when they failed to arrive.
Coastguard rescue teams from Kyle of Lochalsh, Portree and Broadford were called out. The Mallaig lifeboat was launched as part of the search.
A coastguard spokesman said: "We recovered two casualties from the water.
"It appears to be two males and we suspect they had capsized."
The men were taken by lifeboat to Mallaig where they were transferred to an ambulance and transported to Belford Hospital in Fort William. | Two men have been rescued from the sea after their boat capsized off the Isle of Skye. |
40,858,173 | The 18-year-old was injured during Saturday's Championship victory over Birmingham City and, after seeing a specialist, requires surgery.
Dozzell was part of the England Under-19 side that won the European Championship earlier this summer.
"I saw Dozzer yesterday and he was very down. He is bound to be," Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy told the club website.
"It's the season out for him and it's very disappointing, for us but especially for Dozzer. He will get looked after well by our medical staff and we wish him as quick a recovery as possible." | Ipswich Town midfielder Andre Dozzell is set to miss the rest of the season with a torn cruciate ligament. |
40,659,463 | Nicholas Musonye, Cecafa's secretary general, told BBC Sport that the tournament will take place in December.
"I cannot disclose the venue yet since talks are still on-going," Musonye said.
He confirmed that the junior event will precede the main competition.
It is only by having tournaments that our players in the region will get better so that some of them are recognised and are signed to play professional football
"We shall also have the Cecafa U-17 tournament first in Burundi in October and the Challenge Cup after," said a confident Musonye.
Uganda Cranes are the defending champions of the Senior Challenge Cup after they defeated Rwanda in the last event held in Ethiopia in 2015.
Musonye explained that after failing to have the tournament last year because of 'politics' amongst Cecafa members, he is determined to get players active this year.
"We want to revive the tournaments for the youth and also make sure we stage the Senior Challenge Cup - which will help our teams for the 2018 Africa Nations Championships prepare better," explained Musonye.
He made it clear that the 12 member nations that make up Cecafa should concentrate on ensuring the region has as many tournaments as possible.
"It is only by having tournaments that our players in the region will get better so that some of them are recognised and are signed to play professional football," he said.
Besides the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup, the region last held the Cecafa Kagame Cup (played by league champions in the region) in 2015.
The competition was won by Tanzania's Azam FC when they defeated Gor Mahia FC (Kenya).

37,643,274 | The Mercedes driver was due to test the 2017 Pirelli tyres with a modified 2015 'mule' car on Wednesday, but team-mate Nico Rosberg took on those duties.
Hamilton, replaced by reserve driver Pascal Wehrlein for Thursday's test, is 33 points behind Rosberg in the world championship with four races remaining.
Mercedes said there was "no concern" over Hamilton, 31, for the Austin race.
"Lewis had some discomfort in his foot after training on Tuesday," said a team spokesman.
"It was agreed he wouldn't test so he could rest it and get physio to be in good shape for Austin, which he will be."
Hamilton was criticised at the last race weekend in Japan for playing on social media platform Snapchat during a news conference.
The three-time world champion then walked out of a media briefing on Saturday, before hurriedly leaving the circuit after the race to fly back to Europe.
The US Grand Prix in Austin takes place on Sunday, 23 October.

39,502,730 | It's a family affair for the McGorums, with sister Anna, 15, returning to the race - having taken part in 2014 and 2015 - and mum Isabel acting as team manager for Peebles Cycling Club in the event, which takes place this year from 7-10 April in Perthshire.
Elena has experience of mountain-bike racing but less so on the roads and says she'll be relying on the extra bit of knowledge that her older sibling brings to the event.
"Anna always tells me about race preparation," she says. "We have a kit list that tells us what to pack and we make sure to get enough sleep so we are less stressed on race day.
"She also looks out for me when we are competing in the same race - she is much stronger than me but that's because she is older."
The route comprises four stages in the Perthshire countryside, as 140 riders from the UK, Ireland and Isle of Man compete for individual and team awards with numbers boosted by a one-fifth rise in girls taking part in its 2017 edition.
"I am looking forward to the team aspect," says Elena. "I know the girls in my team, so I am looking forward to spending time with them throughout the weekend."
And she is realistic about racing prospects in her debut stage race.
"Fitness and experience is more important for me this year than placings, but it is only my first year," she says.
Conversely, Anna has a high-placed finish firmly in her thoughts.
"In 2015 I did my best - at one point I was even leading the Kermesse race on the last day," she recalls. "I was seventh overall, which I was proud of. In a composite team it is often harder to do well because you haven't ridden with them before.
"I was 14th after all the stages in 2015, out of around 80 or 90 girls. I aim for lots of top-10 finishes this year, and to enjoy it."
And that extra level of competitive edge makes the Youth Tour a different beast to local road races, as Anna explains.

"It is very different. The English riders are much pushier as they are used to bigger bunches than we are in Scotland," she says.
Her advice for Elena is simple - "go to bed early, eat properly" - but not always straightforward for the race itself.
"Also, try not to put yourself in a position where you are wasting energy catching up," she says. "That's much easier said than done!"
So how did the McGorum family become so intertwined with Peebles Cycling Club?
"We were out walking and saw a kids' club out on their bikes," says Isabel. "We immediately got Anna's name on the waiting list and she started with PCC when she was six. From then on she started racing at local dirt crits [criterium races]. Myself and Dad love cycling but we definitely don't race the same as the girls do."
As for the Youth Tour, it was a visit to one of the accommodation venues for the event that proved a spur to action.
"We visited Strathallan School and saw the older kids racing," Isabel explains.
"It is brilliant - one of the only events where the teams stay together for the whole event. They eat together, sleep in the same accommodation, train together, and recover together.
"It is a real social event and a great experience for them.
"I took on the role of team manager in Anna's second year to help PCC who were struggling to get a team together - I enjoyed it so offered up my service again this year," she adds.
Team managers offer support to riders across the event, not just their own teams, which can sometimes create a conflict of loyalties.
"You have to give a lot of encouragement... it can be tough as I am pretty competitive myself," says Isabel.
"But I am lucky the girls are already good at pushing themselves and always strive to do their best, so I can get away with not being a pushy parent!"
The sisters have retained their interest in cycling during years when drop-off can be high among girls.
And Anna believes schools can play a greater role in keeping teenagers interested in the sport.
"Not many girls cycled when I was young - now there are a lot more so we just need to keep them in the sport," she says.
"I think maybe schools should do more mountain biking trips, get some bikes and just take people our riding during PE."
For now, though, the pair are focused on the four days of racing ahead.
"We'll get up early, have breakfast, get changed and if we can practise the course we will do that too," says Elena. "I try to eat porridge and banana for breakfast - even though I don't like it that much! - it is good for energy and racing."
Anna, meanwhile, stresses the importance of teamwork.
"Having lots of different stages means that if you have a bad race, you can always pick yourself up and do okay in the end," she says. "It is important to ride as a team; you look out for each other, help each other and support one another."
And Isabel - despite her competitive edge - can't help, at heart, just being a mum: "All I hope is that they enjoy the experience and come back happy and positive."

38,342,003 | Alex Robinson was drowned in a bath by Stewart Greene at his Lincoln home two days before Christmas in 2014.
Last November Greene was jailed for life for his murder, which was described as "one of the most callous killings" a psychiatrist had ever seen.
The family's comments came after a report concluded Alex's death "couldn't have been predicted or prevented".
Greene had been angry with Alex's mother, who refused to let him live with her following his discharge from a mental health unit just 12 days before the killing.
During the trial, Alex's mother told the court she had pleaded with staff at the mental health unit not to let her father out.
A serious case review by Lincolnshire's Safeguarding Children Board ruled: "The only individual responsible for the tragic death is the maternal grandfather."
In the six months before Alex's death, his grandfather was admitted to an acute mental health unit for assessment by the Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation Trust (LPFT), the board said.
In its report, the board stated: "There were several missed opportunities for LPFT to respond differently."
It said the trust had discharged Greene without "a full analysis and risk management plan of risk to others".
The board also said: "However, there were limited indicators of the risk he posed to specifically to children and the degree of his violence towards Alex could not have been predicted or prevented."
In a statement, the family said it "cannot agree... Alex's death was not preventable or predictable".
"We believe Alex's death certainly was preventable."
Anne-Maria Olphert, director of nursing and quality at the trust, said it accepted the report's outcomes and would use it "to improve services". | The family of a nine-year-old boy murdered by his grandfather have said his death could have been prevented. |

37,336,271 | Ex-Speaker Eduardo Cunha faces losing his seat amid accusations he lied about undeclared Swiss bank accounts.
Mr Cunha denies wrongdoing and has said Ms Rousseff's supporters are seeking revenge.
He has also threatened to reveal compromising information about other politicians.
"This criminal government has been removed thanks to me," he said during the session, accusing Ms Rousseff's Workers' Party of seeking his removal to bolster her claim that the impeachment process against her had been a "coup".
In an impeachment vote last month, Ms Rousseff was removed from for moving funds between government budgets, which is illegal under Brazilian law.
Mr Cunha is also being investigated by the Supreme Court for allegedly taking millions of dollars in bribes to secure contracts with state oil giant, Petrobras.
Petrobras is at the centre of a massive kickbacks scandal which cost the company $2bn (£1.5bn) and has led to the arrest of dozens of lawmakers and top businessmen.
At least three businessmen have said under interrogation that they paid bribes to Mr Cunha, which they deposited in his overseas accounts. If he is voted out of his seat he will lose the partial immunity from prosecution that comes with being an elected representative.
In March 2015 Mr Cunha stated that he did not have "any type of account anywhere that is not declared on my income tax".
But authorities in Switzerland later gave information to a corruption inquiry in Brazil stating that Mr Cunha and his wife, Claudia Cruz, were beneficiaries of secret accounts worth about $5m (£3.7m). Mr Cunha said he did not control the Swiss accounts.

19,802,913 | Last year these caused five serious eye injuries when thrown into a crowd at a Bonfire Night celebration in Sussex.
The agricultural products are made to scare off wildlife - but doctors are worried that the trend to use them in this way could spread.
They wrote about their concerns in a letter to the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
The bangers - also known as rookies and deer scarers - have a slow-burning rope fuse that ignites several explosives along the rope. When cut down, the fuse and explosive can be lit and thrown. They are sold to be used to scare birds and deer away from crops.
Edward Pringle, retinal fellow at Sussex Eye Hospital and one of the letter's authors, said: "These banger fireworks are easy to throw into a crowd, people look at them and debris shoots into the eye. It's like a hand grenade going off - a flash in front of the eye, and then the feeling of a blunt injury.
"Doctors normally see these types of injuries in a war zone. We were seeing them in a small market town - those throwing them and the people turning up to public events don't realise how dangerous they can be."
Eight patients attended the Sussex Eye Hospital on the evening of 5 November 2011 after taking part in the Lewes bonfire event attended by over 60,000 people - two were blinded and three now have the risk of life-long glaucoma.
• Stand beside injured person and separate their eyelids - ask them to look right, left, up and down while examining the eye
• If you can see a foreign object, wash it out by pouring clear water across the eye from the inner corner
• If unsuccessful then try lifting the object off with the damp corner of a clean tissue
• If you still cannot remove the object, seek medical help
From St John Ambulance
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (Rospa) said: "It is worrying that some people feel it is appropriate to throw very dangerous agricultural products around crowds of people.
"Deer scarers, and indeed real fireworks, are not toys. They are explosives and the injuries they can cause can be devastating, as this story sadly shows.
"Going to a public fireworks display remains the safest option, but clearly there is still work to be done to get the message across that throwing fireworks and other explosives is dangerous and unlawful."
The BMJ letter calls for stricter firework controls, with the authors saying: "Numbers of blinding injuries have fallen in countries with legislation that controls the use and distribution of fireworks.
"The UK has legislation to limit distribution, but deer scarers are exempt because they are not actual fireworks."
With just over half of firework injuries occurring at public events, they also ask for better safety restrictions in place at managed displays, suggesting organisers "actively engage their audience in the safer use of fireworks and encourage eye protection".
On average eight eye injuries are recorded across the whole of the UK on Guy Fawkes day each year, data from the British Ophthalmic Surveillance Unit shows.
Of the people that are injured in the eye from a firework - half will need surgery, half will become blind and one in six will need their eye removed.

36,541,301 | Texts seen by the BBC suggest ex-IAAF consultant Papa Massata Diack, now wanted by Interpol, secured votes for Lord Coe's August election win.
The programme also suggests Coe may have misled the UK parliament.
The double British Olympic 1500m champion, 59, denies any wrongdoing.
The text messages suggest Diack, son of the disgraced former IAAF president Lamine Diack, helped secure African delegate votes for Coe.
The investigation also uncovers evidence Coe may have misled a parliamentary select committee over when he first became aware of the allegations of doping and corruption in athletics.
Coe became IAAF president in the midst of a growing corruption scandal involving blackmail and state-sponsored doping in Russia.
Within weeks of his election, his predecessor, Diack Sr, was arrested and a warrant issued for the arrest of his son, a marketing consultant for the IAAF.
The corruption scandal had originally come to light in a German television documentary in December 2014.
The documentary reported that Russian and IAAF officials, including Diack Jr, had conspired to cover up doping by the Russian marathon runner Lilya Shobukhova, as well as attempt to blackmail her.

Coe was not personally caught up in any of the doping or corruption allegations, but he had been a member of the IAAF council since 2003 and a vice-president since 2007.
He was asked by MPs at a meeting of the Culture, Media and Sport select committee last year why he had not been more prominent in pressing the doping issue while he was a vice-president.
He told them: "I was certainly not aware of the specific allegations that had been made around the corruption of anti-doping processes in Russia."
When he was asked if he was aware of allegations against Diack Jr, Coe replied: "Well, they were allegations that were aired in the ARD documentary."
But evidence seen by the BBC and the Daily Mail reveals that, four months before the German television documentary was broadcast, an email was sent to Coe containing a number of attachments detailing the corruption, extortion and bribery claims, as well as the suggestion Diack Jr could have been involved.
The attachments included a detailed complaint from the agent of Shobukhova, alleging she had paid Russian and IAAF officials 450,000 euro (£356,000) to cover up her doping and allow her to run in the London 2012 Olympics.
Damian Collins MP, who sits on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, said: "I think his (Lord Coe's) answer to the select committee was deliberately misleading to create the impression that he was totally unaware of any specific allegations of this kind.
"These involved serious criminal matters. The right thing to do would be to put that information into the hands of the criminal authorities straight away."
He added: "If he won't be drawn on the past and what he knew and can't come up with a compelling argument for the way he conducted himself, then I don't see how he could continue as president of the IAAF because he would lack the public support to do so."
In a statement, Coe, who won 1500m gold at the 1980 and 1984 Olympics, said he was forwarded emails about the corruption allegations, which he then sent on to the IAAF ethics committee, leaving it to investigate.
His director of communications, Jackie Brock-Doyle, added: "He did not feel it was necessary to read the attachments.
"You may think this shows a lack of curiosity. He, and we, would argue that it shows a full duty of care, ensuring the right people in the right place were aware of allegations and were investigating them."
Diack Jr claims that he and Coe met during the IAAF presidential campaign, twice in Beijing and once in the Bahamas.
This was almost a year after Coe was sent the email about allegations against Diack Jr and several months after it was revealed the Senegalese had been accused of corruption on a grand scale.
The claims of Diack Jr, who has been banned for life by the IAAF, have to be treated with extreme caution, but there is evidence - in the form of emails and text messages between Diack Jr, Coe and Nick Davies, the IAAF's head of communications - that he did indeed help Coe during his presidential bid.
At the time, Davies was helping Coe's election campaign.
The following are some of text messages, seen by Panorama, which call into question how Coe ran his successful IAAF presidency election campaign.
These messages are from 2015 - several months after the world knew Diack Jr had been accused of dishonesty on a grand scale.
Coe also appeared keen to ensure Diack Jr made an important meeting. Diack Jr told the BBC that the "friend" mentioned in this message was Hamad Kalkaba Malboum, president of the Confederation of African Athletics, whose support was crucial.
In the days before the election, Diack Jr appeared to provide information on the election tactics of Coe's rival, Sergey Bubka, the Ukrainian former Olympic pole vault champion.
Diack Jr also seemed to provide intelligence on how IAAF delegates might vote in the presidential election, asking Davies to get a message to Coe to speak to Phil Knight of Nike for confirmation from the USA delegate Steve Miller.
This next message refers to the 24 out of 30 nations Diack Jr claims he could talk to and get support for Coe. The Briton won the election by a margin of 23 votes, 115-92.
The BBC showed these text messages to Jack Robertson, a former chief investigator for the World Anti-Doping Agency and the man who investigated the Shobukhova doping scandal.
"It appears that Coe is taking advice from someone who is at the centre of this scandal to extort athletes," said Robertson.
"It's wrong on so many fronts. It's not just disappointing, it's disgusting."
In an interview with Panorama, Diack Jr said Lord Coe would not have become IAAF president without his help.
"If he had not the blessing of Lamine Diack or my support, he would have never been elected as the IAAF president," he said. "He knows that."
Coe refused the BBC's request for an interview to discuss his relationship with Diack Jr and said the suggestion he sought the Senegalese's support was wrong.
The Briton's spokeswoman added: "As with any campaign, lots of people offer advice - wanted or not, some helpful, some not. You try to be civil but wary.
"This was the case with Mr Diack. He sent messages of support whilst at the same time supporting other candidates and accusing Seb Coe of leading a British media campaign against both him and his father."
Diack Jr is currently living in Senegal and Interpol has issued a notice for his arrest over allegations of bribery and corruption, which he rejects.
"I have never, never, never been involved in any payment or any extortion of Lilia Shobukhova," he said.
"All we did about this Russian affair was to protect our World Championships. There was no cover-up of any, any, any doping matters."
Last week, the IAAF's ethics board announced that Davies was one of three IAAF members being provisionally suspended over allegations they took money to delay naming Russian drugs cheats.
Given he is now the subject of an IAAF investigation, Davies said it would be inappropriate for him to comment on the Panorama programme.
But Robertson is happy to speak out and said: "I hate to use the word, but he [Coe] got in bed with the devil to win the election.
"I don't mean to call Papa Diack the devil, but he was certainly in the middle of the investigation.
"And if he [Coe] makes a decision such as that, how can we trust him with other decisions? My bottom line is clean athletes deserve better."

38,659,473 | Mr Aboutrika is accused of financially supporting the Brotherhood, which Egypt considers a terrorist organisation.
In 2012, he endorsed the successful presidential bid by Mohamed Morsi, a Brotherhood member.
The move by the 2008 BBC African Footballer of the Year alienated some of his fans.
Any person named on the country's terror list is subject to a travel ban and faces having their passport and assets frozen.
Mr Aboutrika's lawyer, Mohamed Osman, said the move was "contrary to the law", adding that his client had "not been convicted or formally notified of any of the charges against him".
"We will appeal this decision," Mr Osman said. Mr Aboutrika has strenuously denied the allegations.
A former star of Cairo's al-Ahly club and the national team, Mr Aboutrika was dubbed The Prince of Hearts, The Magician and The Saint during his playing days.
But his decision to publicly support Mr Morsi, who lasted just one year in power, split opinion.
In 2015, he had a string of assets, including shares in a number of companies, seized by the Egyptian authorities.

40,851,121 | But why did so many communities once have what is now a rare facility?
As far back as the 1850s, newspaper reports from Wrexham to the Rhondda tell of campaigns for outdoor swimming baths.
Cardiff's Guildford Crescent is believed to be the site of the first of 50 open air pools in Wales.
A roof was later built over it before it was bought by the local authority - and known as the "Corporation Baths".
Historian Dr Daryl Leeworthy from Swansea University said it was not the most hygienic of experiences in the early days.
"When it opened around 1862… It was situated alongside the railway line," he said.
"So every day the locomotives would come along, burning coal and the soot would sit on the baths.
"A first class ticket holder would go in when the water was fresh and you'd have a brilliantly clean bath.
"But the water wasn't changed for the other ticket holders.
"If you were the third class ticket holder, you'd be swimming not just in the dirt of your peers but also everyone else who'd gone in all week and the soot that came off the train."
It took some communities decades of lobbying to get similar facilities, with the 1920s and 30s arguably the boom years for their construction, amid tensions in the coal industry.
"The government tries to ameliorate those tensions by coming up with the Miners' Welfare Fund - designed to provide education, healthcare and recreational facilities in coalfield areas which they hoped would make coalfield communities less riotous," Dr Leeworthy added.
"It provided a levy of a penny per tonne of coal pulled out of the ground, so it was essentially a business tax, if you like, and that money was directed to local committees who responded to grant applications from communities.
"So the swimming pools and recreation grounds that were built were very much a demand from communities themselves."
The depression in the 1930s meant funding for pools came from another source - the "Special Areas Commission", which allowed councils to employ local people purely to build local amenities.
Around 12 pools were either upgraded, such as the Lido in Pontypridd, or built for the first time.
During the 1970s and 80s many pools were in disrepair and some newly formed county councils converted open air baths into indoor facilities, such as Splott Pool in Cardiff.
But others such as Pontnewynydd Baths near Pontypool were filled in and turned into parks.
Lisa Barrett spent most of her childhood summers at Bailey Park Pool in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, where her mother ran the facility.
The local council says it would now be difficult to find a business model that works for an outdoor pool.
But Ms Barrett said hundreds of local people are behind the idea of digging deep and resurrecting it.
"We understand where they're coming from with regards to money," she said.
"But we've had a lot of builders and tradesmen come to us and say we'll help and make this a reality."
Campaigners in Brynamman, Carmarthenshire, like Jason Rees, say they're looking at new designs which could reduce operating costs, but they need all the help they can get.
"We're looking at ways of keeping it open for longer," he said.
"Not just the summer months and we're looking at cleaning it without chemicals - a naturally cleaning pool... at no cost other than the up front cost of building it.
"I'd like to see a few more local people involved to generate income or volunteer their time to help us with it."
Perhaps history could repeat itself as in 1931 when the International Voluntary Service turned up in depression-hit Brynmawr in Blaenau Gwent where unemployment was 80% or more.
Dr Leeworthy said: "They came across to south Wales with all these volunteers from Poland, Belgium some of them even from the United States, France, Norway and so on, to help miners in Brynmawr to build this swimming pool.
"It's a remarkable transformation of an area, providing a leisure facility which had long been wanted but had been found difficult to provide.
"The local authority simply had no money, it's having to deal with massive levels of unemployment and that's its primary focus."
The Lido in Pontypridd was reopened in 2015 after decades of planning and millions in charitable grants.
Dr Leeworthy catalogued more than 50 outdoor baths across Wales as part of his research into the recreation facilities - he says there is a lesson to be learned from the only outdoor pool still open in Wales.
"There's a lesson of patience… the future in the long term of sites like this is really that against times of hardship people focus on things that can transform their communities for the longer term," he said. | Campaigners in Abergavenny are the latest to try to bring back their much-loved outdoor pool. |

Praised for his calmness and composure, he slipped up when he gave away the penalty in the final.
Clarke-Salter spent last season on loan at Bristol Rovers but only managed 13 appearances because of injury.
Has just one Chelsea appearance, coming on as a substitute against Aston Villa in a Premier League match in April 2016. The defender has been compared to John Terry but it is hard to see the three-time FA Youth Cup winner adding to that appearance tally any time soon despite Terry's departure. Another loan is more likely.

Tomori spent most of last season warming the bench while on loan at Brighton.
He may have played a role in helping the Seagulls into the Premier League but he could not force his way past first-choice defenders Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy, which doesn't bode well for his chances trying to dislodge Gary Cahill and David Luiz.
Has one senior appearance for Chelsea, as a sub on the final day of the 2015-16 Premier League season. Also expect him to be sent out on loan again.

The name Walker seems something of a misnomer for Tottenham full-backs because, just like his namesake Kyle, Walker-Peters is rapid.
Praised for his flexibility, the diminutive right-footer found himself playing on the opposite side of the pitch for England.
Walker-Peters has yet to make a mark on the Tottenham first team, but Mauricio Pochettino's willingness to give young talent its head means that could change next season - particularly if the other Walker strolls off to Manchester City.

Kenny was the only member of the squad to play every minute for England at the Under-20 World Cup in South Korea.
He was captain of the Everton Under-23 side that won the Premier League 2 title last season.
He's strong in the tackle and shows defensive composure and excellent positional awareness.
Though Mason Holgate was initially preferred to deputise at right-back for the injured Seamus Coleman last season, Kenny will doubtless get more first-team opportunities during 2017-18.

Lewis Cook's first season in Bournemouth was one of adaptation and injury. After starting the opening game against Manchester United he disappeared from the Premier League until April, when he started three of their last four matches.
Eddie Howe has a good history of developing players and Cook's success with England is no surprise after a year of Howe's intense training and scrutiny. I suspect we will see more of him as he looks better equipped to fulfil the potential the Cherries paid for, and to battle with Harry Arter, Andrew Surman and Dan Gosling for a spot in Howe's midfield.

One of the few players in the England side to have been involved with his club side on a regular basis, Onomah has made 31 appearances over the last two seasons, mostly from the bench.
Now 20, he has grown noticeably, adding some physicality to his impressive technical ability. Happy in possession, even with opposition players around him, he played a deeper midfield role in South Korea.
It's possible Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino sees his future there as well - but probably only if his strength and endurance can match that of Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama.

Another young Everton player who had an excellent World Cup. Dowell's blessed with grace, elegance and vision and is more a wide midfielder than a winger.
He has a real eye for goal too and has developed a terrific relationship down the right-hand side with Jonjoe Kenny.

36,356,997 | The bone is believed to be from the elbow of St Thomas, who was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170 after he fell out with King Henry II.
The fragment is the centrepiece of a week-long pilgrimage in London and Kent.
The pilgrimage starts with a Holy Mass at Westminster Cathedral in London.
Archbishop of Westminster Cardinal Vincent Nichols will celebrate the Holy Mass with Hungarian President Janos Ader and the country's Primate Cardinal Peter Erdo.
The elbow fragment will be reunited with a fragment said to be from Thomas Becket's skull, normally kept at Stonyhurst College in Lancashire.
Cardinal Nichols said the pilgrimage was a return journey for the Hungarian relic - 800 years late.
"It helps to solidify that growing sharing of life that takes place between Christian churches and it reminds all Christians that there comes a point where their loyalty to Christ becomes the overriding loyalty of their lives and they might have to pay a final price," he said.
King Henry II made his close friend Thomas Becket Archbishop of Canterbury in 1161.
The friendship came under strain when Becket stood up for the church in disagreements with the king.
In 1164, Becket fled to France, returning in 1170.
On the 29 December 1170, four knights, believing the king wanted Becket out of the way, murdered him in Canterbury Cathedral.
Becket was made a saint in 1173 and his shrine in Canterbury Cathedral became a focus for pilgrimage.
The Hungarian relic will also be on display Westminster Abbey and St Magnus the Martyr Church in Lower Thames Street while in London.
It travels to Rochester Cathedral on Friday and Canterbury Cathedral on Saturday before being returned to Hungary.
It is not known how the relic arrived in Hungary but two prelates from Hungary were said to have been present in Canterbury Cathedral when Thomas Becket's body was reburied in 1220 and his tomb opened.
The shrine at Canterbury containing most of Becket's remains was destroyed during the reign of Henry VIII when the practice of venerating saints was condemned. | A bone fragment believed to come from St Thomas Becket is going on display in England for the first time since it was taken to Hungary 800 years ago. |
40,057,165 | The presenter, who first rose to prominence as a contestant on The Apprentice in 2007, joined LBC last April.
Hopkins is known for her controversial opinions and regularly attracts criticism for her views.
She has continued tweeting since LBC's announcement but has not yet referred to her own departure.
Hopkins is also a Mail Online columnist and appeared in Celebrity Big Brother in 2015, finishing in second place.
Both LBC and Hopkins declined to comment further when contacted by the BBC.
Her two-hour programme was broadcast every Sunday morning and saw her review the week's news and take calls from listeners.
This week, she caused anger with when she tweeted that there must be a "final solution" in dealing with terrorists following the Manchester terror attack.
Some followers questioned her use of the phrase "final solution" - a term used by the Nazis to refer to the Holocaust - but later Hopkins altered it to "true solution", describing the earlier version as a "mis-type".
But some Twitter users drew the comments to the attention of the Metropolitan Police, claiming they could incite racial or religious hatred.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed the matter was being "reviewed and assessed by specialist officers".
After Hopkins made the comments, another LBC presenter, James O'Brien, described on air the "shame" he felt about sharing a platform with her.
He called Hopkins "a monstrous self-publicist" who "employs the most vile of thoughts and language in a desperate attempt to stay relevant and get noticed".
Earlier this year, food writer Jack Monroe won £24,000 in damages, plus £107,000 in legal costs, in a libel action against Hopkins after a row over two tweets, which Monroe said caused "serious harm" to her reputation.
Hopkins was later told she could not appeal against the ruling.
In December, she apologised to a Muslim family she accused of being extremists after they were refused entry to the US for a Disneyland trip.
Mail Online, which published her claim, also paid £150,000 in libel damages to the Mahmood family.
Hopkins has gradually built up her reputation as a controversial figure since 2013, when she appeared on This Morning during a discussion about children's names.
Last year, she cut her hair short, explaining that she was not allowed to wash it immediately following successful brain surgery to treat her epilepsy.
In 2014, she told The Guardian that as a result of the condition her arms would dislocate during fits and she would have to go into hospital to have them relocated. "I'm hard with myself. Get on with it. Move on. Get your arms put back in," she said.

His dinghy was found on Sunday but Mr Taylor is "still unaccounted for".
Police have continued land searches on Tuesday.
Mr Taylor used to live in the Cardigan area before moving to Lancashire, but was a frequent visitor because of his association with the Teifi Boating Club.
Police have appealed for information from anyone who saw him Saturday morning before he left the boat club or while he was on the water.
While air searches have finished, police continue to patrol the land with coastguard staff ready to help if needed.
Sgt Gareth Jones of Dyfed-Powys Police called for walkers on the coastal path in Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire to keep an eye out for signs of the missing sailor.

32,989,534 | Because, as won't have escaped your notice, the biggest problem all along has been that the youngish Syriza government of the debtor, Greece itself, hates the conditions imposed by the creditors for the mooted rescue.
The fundamental disagreement between Greece and its lenders - eurozone nations, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund - is over the degree of further austerity to which Greece must commit in order to receive 7.2bn euros of additional credit.
But although for the pride of the creditors, the question of whether Greece is obliged to generate a surplus on its budget, excluding interest payments, of a bit more than zero or 3%, feels like a world of difference - it is a rounding error compared with the money Greece owes them, which is equivalent to 180% of Greek GDP.
In the highly unlikely event that Greece could generate a 2% or 3% surplus year-in and year-out without its economy shrinking further (which few economists would anticipate), it would take around half a century for Greek public sector debt to fall to a level regarded as sustainable.
A half century of austerity? In what modern democracy would that be regarded as a realistic option?
So all these fraught talks about a release of the last 7.2bn of cash from the current rescue facility can probably be seen as displacement activity.
And if there is agreement in the next day or so on a framework to release that cash, this should be seen as no more than a short-term temporary fix.
The hard talks are yet to come.
The point is that Greece desperately needs those few billions of euros to pay its maturing debts to... the IMF and the European Central Bank.
With 300m due to the IMF on Friday, and a further 1.3bn euros later this month, this has always been a row about book-keeping entries and the accounting treatment of debts.
It is a dispute about whether the eurozone's creditors will release funds so that they can pay themselves and avoid having to call Greece in default.
Or to put it another way, it is all about whether the IMF and eurozone can keep up the pretence that Greece is a sound and solvent debtor.
But doesn't it normally tell you something pretty important about those who owe you money when you have to lend to them so that they can keep up the payments to you?
History suggests that at some point the IMF, ECB and eurozone will have to recognise that Greece's 320bn euros of sovereign debts is a lot of spilled milk that will have to be cleaned up.
Whatever the human temptation to say to the Greeks they shouldn't have borrowed the money and have to pay it back, it also defies precedent to argue that a country with such a relatively small and weak private sector will ever have the capacity to pay it back.
Which implies that the only rational conversation for Greece's creditors to have with Greece is the one they refuse to have - which is on the scale of a write-off necessary to take the country off an inevitable road to dangerous penury.
So even if Greece and its creditors do achieve some kind of pact that allows it to meet its immediate bills, all that would mean is that the big conversation - about whether Greek debts need to be forgiven - has been deferred. | There is something wonderfully mad about the idea that if Greece's creditors can agree on a bailout, which they have done, that represents important progress. |
40,885,313 | One eyewitness said he felt the bus drifting before it crashed into the front of the Poggenpohl Kitchen Design Centre in Lavender Hill, causing the shop front to collapse.
Another said the driver told her he had "blacked out", adding a paramedic thought he had had "some kind of fit".
The women were rescued by fire crews and the driver was taken to hospital.
London Ambulance Service said a total of 10 people had been treated by paramedics, three of whom had been taken to hospital.
It said it had sent five ambulance crews, two paramedics and an incident response officer to the scene at about 06:55 BST, along with an air ambulance.
Andrew Matthews, 34, from Wandsworth, was one of about a dozen passengers on the bus.
"I was on the top floor at the back, fortunately," he said.
"I noticed the bus drifting. I heard a smash and saw the roof of the shop going through [the bus] from the front left. It went to the fourth or fifth row.
"I wedged myself in, bracing myself. As soon as the bus came to a stop there was yelling, screaming.
"I noticed a lady wedged in the front right-hand side. She was screaming for help. There was a lot of blood."
Another passenger, nurse Amy Mullineux, 40, from Wandsworth, said the driver told her he had lost consciousness before the crash.
"I spoke to him. He said he blacked out before the bus hit the shop. He doesn't remember hitting anything.
"The paramedic told me they think he had some kind of fit."
A witness said smoke could be seen coming from underneath the bus.
Solange Morin, 33, who lives nearby, said: "I saw this woman shouting and banging on the glass. Everybody shouted 'fire, fire'.
"I went on to the bus. I talked to her and was holding her hands.
"She was pinned. I wouldn't have been able to get her out.
"She was so scared because people were shouting fire. There was a lot of smoke."
Another local resident, Brendan Pfahlert, said the crash "sounded like a large amount of glass being dropped".
A Transport for London (TfL) spokeswoman confirmed the crash involved a route 77 double-decker bus and said an investigation was under way.
Poggenpohl UK managing director Simon Richmond said: "We are relieved that no-one from our team was injured as the showroom had not yet opened for the day, but our thoughts are with the driver and passengers on the bus as we understand there have been casualties."
He said he hoped business would return to normal soon, but that the showroom had been severely damaged.
Police have appealed for any witnesses to contact them with information.

30,408,274 | The two countries signed a series of major energy agreements on Thursday.
Russia will also remain India's top defence supplier, said Mr Modi.
Mr Putin's visit to Delhi comes as India faces energy shortages and Russia seeks to expand its ties with Asia in the face of Western sanctions.
Mr Modi said that the two countries had outlined an "ambitious vision" for nuclear energy during the talks and that the new reactors would be built over the next 20 years.
He added that, under the deal, nuclear components would be made in India.
A $1bn (£630m; €800m) joint venture to support hydro-electric power projects in India has also been agreed, according to Reuters news agency.
Meanwhile Russian oil producer Rosneft signed a deal to supply India with 10 million tonnes of oil per year, Reuters said.
Mr Putin said earlier that his country was looking to export more Russian oil and gas to Asia because of problems with the European market.
A project to build a new gas pipeline to Europe, known as South Stream, was cancelled last week amid concerns that it could be in breach of EU competition rules.
Also, the crisis in Ukraine has led to a bitter fall-out between the West and Russia, which has been placed under wide-ranging sanctions by the US, EU and several other countries.
The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi says that Russia will continue to be an important defence supplier to India despite the fact that it has lost a couple of lucrative contracts recently to the United States and Europe.
One of several defence deals is a plan by Russia to manufacture its most advanced military helicopter in India.
Russia and India were close allies during the Cold War but in recent years the relationship has been more tense.
India is reported to be upset with Russia for selling attack helicopters to Pakistan and Russia has been unhappy with India for choosing French Rafale fighters and American Apache attack helicopters over Moscow's defence products.
Later today, Mr Putin will meet business leaders and attend a diamond conference in Delhi.
The two countries are expected to sign an agreement on improving bilateral diamond trade.
Russia is the top producer of rough diamonds in the world and India is the global hub for cutting and polishing the gemstones.
But Russian mines sell most of the rough produce to the diamond hubs of Antwerp and Dubai from where it comes to India, something that Delhi wants to change. | Russia will help India build at least 10 more nuclear reactors, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said following a visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin. |

24,382,723 | The 14-year-old Muslim pupils were placed in "isolation" from the start of the new term at Mount Carmel Roman Catholic High School in Accrington, Lancashire.
Head teacher Xavier Bowers said the decision was not a religious issue.
He said it was policy to place pupils in a learning support centre when they do not comply with the school uniform.
In a statement issued by the school through Lancashire County Council, Mr Bowers said: "I am fully aware of the sensitive nature of this issue and have done my very best to be as understanding and reasonable as possible when dealing with situations of this nature.
"When necessary, we place pupils in our learning support centre who do not comply with our school policy regarding uniform and appearance.
"Here at Mount Carmel RC High School, we believe that it's important to maintain high standards in every aspect of school life, including appearance and uniform."
He added pupils and parents were frequently reminded of the rules on appearance. | Two teenage boys have been barred from classes because they refused to shave off their beards. |
35,249,955 | Former IAAF consultant Papa Massata Diack and Russian officials Valentin Balakhnichev and Alexei Melnikov were last month charged with multiple breaches of anti-doping rules relating to Russian athlete Liliya Shobukhova.
Ex-IAAF anti-doping director Gabriel Dolle has been banned for five years.
IAAF president Lord Coe said the bans "could not send a stronger message".
Diack and Balakhnichev, a former president of the Russian athletics federation and IAAF treasurer, face fines of £17,000 while Russian coach Melnikov could be fined £10,000.
The independent IAAF ethics commission panel's 170-page report claims Diack, Balakhnichev and Melnikov conspired to "blackmail" Shobukhova to cover up her doping violations by her paying them "bribes" of about £435,000.
Last month, Diack told the BBC he "totally rejects" the blackmail allegations, saying: "There was no extortion of funds from any athlete."
The panel said: "The head of a national federation, the senior coach of a major national team and a marketing consultant for the IAAF conspired together (and, it may yet be proven with others too) to conceal for more than three years' anti-doping violations by an athlete at what appeared to be the highest pinnacle of her sport.
"They acted dishonestly and corruptly and did unprecedented damage to the sport of track and field which, by their actions, they have brought into serious disrepute."
Shobukhova's 38-month ban from track and field was reduced by seven months after she turned whistleblower for the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).
Russia have been banned from international athletics competition after a report by Wada's independent commission alleged the country was guilty of "state-sponsored doping".

There is an old rule of journalism that you should always get the name of the dog in any story about a domestic tragedy or natural disaster - the idea being it is the pet with a cute name that really grabs your audience.
There should be an amendment to that rule for this golden age of sporting scandal: get the name of the dodgy bank account. In the case of the scam to suppress positive drug tests by Russian athletes in return for cash, it is called 'Black Tidings'.
How apt for a grim tale that involves drugs, mysterious meetings, blackmail, a cosmopolitan cast of pantomime villains and the Olympics.
The weirdest thing about reading the 170-page into how the IAAF president's son and two leading Russian officials colluded to extract huge sums of money from a drugs cheat - while Dolle, the IAAF's anti-doping boss, looked at his finger nails and whistled - is you almost feel sorry for the cheat. Almost.
The most alarming thing for athletics is this report - into one scam, involving one athlete - will be the mildest indictment of the moral malaise at the sport's heart in the coming weeks and months.

Southgate was effectively handed a four-game trial period by the Football Association after the abrupt end to Sam Allardyce's 67-day spell in charge.
And the meeting with 'The Auld Enemy' at Wembley was always going to be the defining moment when it came to measuring Southgate's suitability to take England towards the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
So, after a 3-0 win that soothed concerns following the drab goalless draw in Slovenia, is Southgate now a certainty for England's top job on a permanent basis?
It is a fair bet the FA's decision-makers will have had everything crossed for an uneventful, victorious night at Wembley as they consider the decision on England's next manager.
And as chairman Greg Clarke and chief executive Martin Glenn made their retreat from Wembley, there was every chance that what they had seen in a routine England win had made up their minds.
The 46-year-old Southgate, who has built his reputation within the FA with his work with the England Under-21 team, is the obvious and favoured choice to calm the turbulence that followed the conclusion of Allardyce's short reign.
Southgate has the background of working at St George's Park, won the Toulon tournament with the under-21s and is the sort of measured, mature personality who is regarded as a good fit to take England forward.
All he needed to do was win some football matches during his short audition.
And, by any measure, this 3-0 win will probably prove enough to seal the deal, even after a performance that never rose above average against a poor Scotland team.
There was nothing revolutionary about Southgate's England on this night, nothing to send their fans out of Wembley with an extra spring in their step - but he showed enough of a sure touch to make his coronation little more than a formality.
Southgate chose well when it came to deciding between Daniel Sturridge and Harry Kane. He showed understanding to resist the temptation to throw the Spurs striker in after only 72 minutes of action at Arsenal following a seven-week absence, despite the obvious attractions of his goalscoring ability.
He went for Sturridge, short of action at Liverpool but fit and determined to prove his worth. He was rewarded with a fine opening goal from the striker to settle any nerves Southgate and England might have been feeling.
Southgate brought Wayne Rooney back in as captain and a steadying influence after dropping him in Slovenia, although that decision was made much easier by Dele Alli's injury. It was a conservative team selection, with players Southgate knew he could rely on - but the end justified the means.
England's ploy of playing out from the back looked like an alien activity for much of the first half, but this was a night when the result was everything for both team and manager.
The smart money was on victory assuring Southgate of his elevation to England manager - should he be happy with the terms of reference of course - and the only questions might have been posed if they had failed to beat a Scotland team who have won just 11 of their past 32 qualifiers, drawing eight and losing 13.
England have had no trouble racking up qualifying victories, winning 24 and drawing eight of their past 32. This meant victory was essential to ensure Southgate's credibility was not damaged and to make life much easier for the FA.
This can be regarded as mission accomplished.
England's win against Scotland means that Southgate and the FA can tick all the boxes after this three-game public interview for the manager's job.
Southgate, as was his intention, has left England top of their group after the three qualifiers he has overseen - with this game the most important - while also looking a perfect fit off the pitch after the fiasco of Allardyce's departure.
Results in competitive games are ultimately the only currency Southgate has to deal in, but he has also shown a sure touch off the field which has greatly impressed the FA.
Southgate dealt diplomatically and calmly with the landmark decision to drop Rooney for the last qualifier in Slovenia. He showed a sensitivity and understanding to the Manchester United forward's reputation and feelings, with the deposed captain even feeling comfortable enough to sit alongside the man who had excluded him at the pre-match news conference.
If the FA needed evidence of how Southgate would handle a potentially incendiary issue, this was it. It was a pressure point and the former Middlesbrough manager proved he had the confidence and self-belief not just to make the big decision, but to handle the fallout in an assured manner.
Southgate has also looked at ease with the pressures of managing England. The real pinch points will come in the heat of a tournament, but he has performed impressively so far.
The players have also looked at ease with Southgate around the England camp. He looks like the sort of figure, 20 years younger than Allardyce and his predecessor Roy Hodgson, who may well be more on the wavelength of younger players, such as Manchester City's 21-year-old winger Raheem Sterling.
FA chairman Clarke wrote in the match programme notes, looking ahead to the period after this game: "We then have a break until next March and, as we have said, we will consider our options for the permanent England manager's role. I must again pay tribute to Gareth for his professionalism and diligent work."
A clue? It read like one. It is unlikely Clarke's high opinion of Southgate would have been decreased by England's biggest win over Scotland in 41 years.
If this was an examination, Southgate's three games would probably have earned him a seven out of 10 - and that is likely to mean a pass mark from the FA.

Southgate's four-game spell in temporary charge ends after Tuesday's friendly against Spain (20:00 GMT kick-off), where a win would simply strengthen his case and anything else is unlikely to have any impact on the decision-making process.
As Clarke stated, the FA does now have this gap and a period of grace before a friendly away to World Cup holders Germany in March.
All roads appear to be leading to an announcement that Southgate has got the job well before then - but should the FA take advantage of that break to explore every other option?
BBC Sport pundit and former Scotland international Pat Nevin insists there should be no hurry on the FA's part.
He said: "Why do you have to give him the job now? There is no reason to do it. Wait until the summer and you have all sorts of options, one being Gareth still.
"England are going through anyway but you might be turning down the opportunity to get Arsene Wenger or someone of that ilk."
Should the FA decide to wait, which seems unlikely, then Southgate may well wonder why. Would it be a signal that the FA still harbours doubts about his capability? Would that effect his willingness to take the job?
And a wait for Wenger is a gamble. There is no guarantee the Frenchman would accept, with Arsenal still very much his complete commitment and a growing likelihood he will sign a new contract at Emirates Stadium.

33,985,679 | The three German Junkers, escorted by two ME 109 fighters, targeted Admiralty oil tanks above Pembroke Dock, with the resulting blaze lasting 18 days.
More than 22 brigades and 650 men from across the UK were needed to quell it, with five from Cardiff losing their lives.
A remembrance service took place in Pembroke Dock on Wednesday, as those who lived through the inferno recalled the stark scenes at the time.
On Monday 19 August 1940, the German planes crept along the Pembrokeshire coast, taking aim at tanks holding millions of gallons of vital fuel after 15:00 BST.
Ted Owens, 91, was a 16-year-old messenger boy for the Pembroke Dock Fire Brigade at the time of the World War Two strike.
"I actually seen the bombs dropping and hit the tanks," he said. "The next thing, we have seen these four black things coming down - huge explosions."
One of the 12-tonne tanks caught alight and the blaze spread, despite the efforts of fire chief Arthur Morris and his team of part-time firefighters, with hurried appeals sent out to brigades across the country.
Crews from south and west Wales were joined by others from as far away as Birmingham, Bristol and Gloucester, as the blaze took hold.
"You could see this pall of black smoke going up and into the air," Mr Owens said, adding it was believed the cloud was visible from Swansea.
Former Swansea firefighter and historian Keith Mills said those battling the blaze were ill-equipped compared to today's services.
"This is in the days of the auxiliary firefighters, basically men off the street who were trained locally," he said.
"If you look at their kit, it was nothing short of a boiler suit, a pair of Wellie boots and the tin hats that soldiers wore in the war. The lucky ones had an oilskin as well."
Mr Mills said the heat would have been unimaginable, with the sky turned black as night in the middle of the day.
"Their bravery must have been incredible," he said of the fire crews, pointing out that 23 awards were later handed out for their courage.
In total, the blaze caused 1,100 injuries with dozens of firefighters hurt and overcome with exhaustion.
The five killed - Frederick George Davies, Clifford Miles, Ivor John Kilby, Trevor Charles Morgan and John Frederick Thomas - are remembered on a memorial at the site of the inferno.
Of the 18 tanks at the Llanreath Oil Tank Depot, 11 were destroyed and 33 million gallons of oil lost before the fire was eventually extinguished in September, 1940.
The fire was soon to be eclipsed by others in London, Coventry and Birmingham, as the German bombing offensive gathered momentum, but its impact on Pembroke Dock has endured.
The Sunderland Trust, which runs Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre in the Royal Dockyard Chapel, held a remembrance service on Wednesday at 11:00 BST.
An exhibition is also being held and will feature demonstrations by Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service and artefacts such as a handwritten diary account of the blaze. | Seventy five years ago three Luftwaffe planes bombed a Pembrokeshire town - sparking what is believed to have been the UK's largest blaze since the Great Fire of London. |
37,968,072 | PUP councillor John Kyle told BBC News NI he confronted four youths at the memorial on east Belfast's Albertbridge Road at about 08:20 GMT on Sunday.
He said one was defecating while the others filmed it on mobile phones.
Mr Kyle said when he shouted at them, one of them kicked him off his bike and fled towards the Short Strand.
A PUP statement said their councillor followed the youths into the Short Strand and then reported the incident to police as a "sectarian hate crime".
Mr Kyle said it was a "shame" that such a thing would be done at all, but especially on Remembrance Sunday.
Mr Ervine led the PUP from 2002 until his death in January 2007.
He was a former member of the paramilitary group the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and was a key figure in brokering the loyalist paramilitary ceasefire of 1994.
A police spokeswoman said officers were investigating an assault on a man in the Albertbridge Road on Sunday morning and a report of "attempted criminal damage to a memorial". | A councillor has said he was attacked when he tried to stop youths defecating on a memorial to the late Progressive Unionist Party leader David Ervine. |
34,480,404 | He was attacked while defending a friend, and is currently in a stable condition at a local hospital, an Air Force official told the BBC.
Police say the stabbing took place on a Sacramento street corner in the early hours after an argument escalated.
Mr Stone, 25, is one of three Americans that helped to thwart a terror attack on a French train in August.
They were hailed as heroes for tackling a man who was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle, an automatic pistol with ammunition clips and a box cutter knife.
The men, assisted by other passengers, threw him to the floor of the carriage, removed his guns and restrained him.
Mr Stone was slashed by the attacker and later required surgery to reattach part of his hand.
Who are the six France train heroes?
He and the two others, Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, were hailed by French President Francois Hollande and greeted as heroes upon their return to the US.
They received awards from Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter and met President Barack Obama at the White House.
Investigators said on Thursday they did not expect Mr Stone to survive the attack in Sacramento and initially treated the crime as a homicide.
Mr Skarlatos tweeted "Everybody send prayers out to the Stone family today". | Spencer Stone, hailed as a hero after a French train terror attack, has been stabbed in Sacramento, California. |
36,499,601 | But the Libyan case still raises difficult questions.
A four-year long investigation by the police was sparked by the discovery in 2011 of documents in Libya that appeared to come from MI6.
They appeared to show British intelligence had facilitated the rendition - sending a person from one country to another for imprisonment and interrogation - of two men to Libya, where they say they were tortured.
The Crown Prosecution Service issued an unusually long statement on Thursday explaining why they did not believe the evidence supported any charges.
(Pointedly, the police released their own statement saying they had collected 28,000 pages of evidence and that the decision was entirely one by the CPS.)
The CPS statement made clear for the first time that MI6 (without naming the agency directly) had been involved - and included details which throw new light on the transfer of two opponents of Colonel Gaddafi to Libya at a time when Britain was seeking to improve relations with his regime.
The two key areas relate to the issue of authorisation and oversight.
One of the biggest questions surrounding what happened in Libya related to who authorised the operation.
We are always told that sensitive intelligence operations are supposed to be authorised by politicians.
Jack Straw was foreign secretary at the time and, so, many had assumed he must have known.
But the statement from the CPS suggests the real story may be much more complex.
A key line reads that an MI6 officer "sought political authority for some of his actions albeit not within a formal written process nor in detail which covered all his communications and conduct". This sentence bears some examination.
For a start, it says the "suspect" (as the CPS describes him) sought political authority, but does not say they actually received it.
Secondly, it makes the point that the authority was only for some of their actions and not all of them - in other words they did not provide a detailed read-out of what was involved in the operation to the government official.
Finally, this did not take place within a formal written process.
In other words, there was not the type of written warrant - or paper trail - that you would normally expect.
One source has suggested that it may simply have involved a phone conversation with a Foreign Office official (not even a minister).
All of this alleviates some of the questions for Jack Straw but does raise the question about how MI6 was operating at the time and whether it was under the type of political control that would normally be expected for an intelligence agency.
A second question relates to oversight after the events.
In 2007 the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) investigated rendition.
In a 75-page report, Libya is not mentioned once. The reason, it seems, is that the committee knew nothing about the case.
In fact, no one did until 2011 when Colonel Gaddafi's regime fell and a series of documents from MI6 were discovered.
Had it not been for regime change, the secret of this operation would have been kept and there would have been no oversight of it.
The criticism of the ISC in the past was always that it knew only about things the agencies wanted to reveal.
There was some suggestion at the time that the failure to reveal the Libya case had been due to poor record keeping.
That goes back to the issue of no formal authorisation having ever been signed.
But it does not explain why no one had thought to bring up the case to the ISC.
Perhaps because few had known about it?
But a recent article suggested that it had been sufficiently well-known that when the head of MI5 learned about it, she had written to the prime minister and there had been a major rift between MI5 and MI6 over the latter organisation's activities.
There has been no official reaction from MI6 or the Foreign Office but they will, no doubt, stress that these events took place 12 years ago in the chaotic early years of the "war on terror" and that systems and procedures have changed.
The "consolidated guidance" on how to treat detainees has now been published.
The ISC has been given more powers to demand documents.
And, after review, the CPS has decided that the evidence does not support a prosecution.
But a question remains - what other secrets from this period remain hidden? | The announcement that no-one will be charged with involvement in rendition will certainly be a relief to MI6. |
37,719,634 | US Lt Gen Stephen Townsend was speaking on the sidelines of the battle to retake the Iraqi city from the jihadist group.
Gen Townsend also said IS was "adaptable, creative and cunning".
Iraqi forces on Thursday said they had re-captured the town of Bartella, less than 15km (10 miles) east of Mosul.
The predominantly Christian town had seen fierce IS resistance, with reports of several suicide car bombs by militants in response to the special forces' advance.
Bartella is key to the major offensive to retake Mosul, according to the head of Iraq's counter-terrorism service, Taleb Sheghati al-Kenani.
Elsewhere, Islamic State fighters were reported to have set fire to a chemical plant south of Mosul, as they were retreating.
It is not yet clear if the fire has been extinguished - a similar fire at the same plant in 2003 burnt for weeks, sending sulphur dioxide into the air.
Separately on Thursday, the US said an American soldier had been killed in a roadside bomb attack in northern Iraq. The incident was the fourth US combat fatality in Iraq since operations against IS began there and in Syria in 2014.
"They're using human shields in there," Gen Townsend said in an exclusive interview with the BBC on Thursday, speaking from an artillery position where US troops were providing fire support to Iraqi forces.
"This is a brutal opponent that has to be stopped," said Gen Townsend, who heads foreign forces in the fight against IS.
"They saw people's heads off on TV, they drown people and video it, they burn people alive in cages, they crucify people and they drive over people on the street with bulldozers."
Mosul has been in the hands of IS since 2014 and is the militants' last major Iraqi stronghold.
As many as 1.5 million civilians are thought to still be inside the city, with reports from inside suggesting basic supplies are running out.
The International Organization for Migration says fighting around the city has already forced 5,640 people to flee, according to Reuters news agency.
Meanwhile, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi told an international meeting in Paris on Thursday that the four-day offensive was "advancing faster than planned".
He also hailed co-operation between the army and Kurdish troops, saying they were "fighting harmoniously together" to free Iraqi territory from IS.
The Iraqi army is moving from the south, as Kurdish fighters launch a large-scale operation east and north of the city.
Kurdish forces opened up a new front in the town of Bashiqa, which lies some 25km (16 miles) north east of Mosul.
Thick smoke was seen rising from the town, which a day earlier was pounded by air strikes and mortar fire.
Officials have warned that the push to take Mosul could take weeks or months, with IS fighters appearing to be putting up stiff resistance in some areas.
There are unconfirmed reports of IS leaders fleeing the city, but up to 5,000 fighters are still thought to be in the city.

"I can't believe it. I've loved this club all my life. I left here 17 years ago and I haven't stopped loving it since," said Lambert.
"I have always dreamt of playing for Liverpool, but I did kind of think the chance of playing for them had gone. I didn't think the chance would come.
"I've been trying to keep it as low-key as possible. Only telling close family.
"My mum and dad shed a few tears when I told them, my mum in particular."
Lambert, who has two goals in four England appearances, scored 14 goals in 39 games for Southampton in the past season.
In all, he has netted 117 times in 235 appearances since joining the south coast club from Bristol Rovers in 2009.
Lambert had two years remaining on his contract with Southampton.
"I know how big Liverpool are - and it means everything to me - but I know what is important," he added in an interview with the Liverpool website.

"I know it's what I do on the pitch and the minutes I play.
"I know that's what matters, and that's what I'll be focused on."
There had been interest in Lambert from other clubs, but it is understood he was only considering Liverpool.
Lambert issued an open letter on the Southampton website in which he thanked the club, the managers he has played under and ex-team-mates during his spell at the St Mary's side.
"The five-year plan when I arrived was to get this club from League One to the top half of the Premier League. Against all the odds we have achieved that," he said.
"Now, under Katharina Liebherr's leadership, the club has the chance for a new plan, a new chapter, and I wish them all the success in the world."
Liverpool are still interested in signing England midfielder Adam Lallana, 26, and Croatia defender Dejan Lovren, 24, from Southampton but they say they would prefer not to conduct "any transfers until the new manager is in place". | Southampton and England striker Rickie Lambert has moved to Liverpool for a fee of about £4m plus add-ons. |
38,267,176 | "I know what it feels like not being able to have someone to tell a secret to, so I created my blog and Twitter page to help this."
Oloni, one of eight Girls' Champions in the BBC's 100 Women season, began her sex and relationships blog, Simply Oloni, in 2008.
It began as a personal lifestyle blog and she wanted to be the person that someone could speak to without being - or feeling - judged.
She aims to give out impartial advice - something she believes can be more valuable than the opinion of a friend or a relative, who could be too emotionally involved.
But she also invites others on social media to have a say.
"The identity of the person who sends me their dilemmas is kept completely confidential," says Oloni, who is based in London.
"I then post the dilemmas on Twitter for my 26,000 followers to also share their advice and tips on the dilemma."
Oloni's followers share a range of experiences, from bad one-night stands to humorous stories, as well as seeking advice on a relationships or sex dilemma.
But not all of the topics Oloni discusses online go down well with the people reading.
"Not everyone has accepted that women are allowed to talk about sex freely, and we are allowed to embrace our sexuality; whether it's choosing to keep your virginity until you're married, or wanting to have casual sex, or wanting to be friends with benefits," she says.
"Your sex life is not a decision for other people to dictate."
She says the first time she was trolled she was "shocked" but she has gradually become used to it over time.
"I've had trolls online telling me I'm 'disgusting' for suggesting that girls dating more than one man [at a time] is fine," she says.
Eight young agitators and commentators have been speaking to the BBC's 100 Women season on issues affecting young women.

"A lot of the people who are threatened by what I do just don't want women to be better. I can't think of a time that I've given a woman ridiculous advice, apart from: 'If you're not happy, leave'."
Both men and women seek Oloni's online service for advice. And sometimes finding the right way to respond is difficult.
"I do get some queries that I sometimes don't know how to best advise, such as about being in abusive relationships," she says.
"I get thousands of messages coming through from people, but sometimes not all can get the answers immediately. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it"
When people confide in her, Oloni says she gains more confidence in what she's trying to do - educate and raise awareness.
In one case recently, a young woman told her how she had been living with HIV for 10 years. "It reminded me of the importance of trust and how much I believe in my brand," she says.
Oloni helped the woman, named Natasha, speak out anonymously about living with HIV and the importance of knowing how to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases.
"We need to start talking about condoms, how to stay safe," Oloni says.
There should be more sex education, she believes.
But she also wants a more open conversation about sex and relationships in general - so that these topics are "no longer seen as such a taboo".
"You'd be surprised to know that so many women don't even know they can identify themselves as bisexual or bi-curious," says Oloni.
"We need to be more inquisitive and knowledgeable when it comes to sexuality." | "A lot of women don't particularly have anyone to speak to," says Dami Olonisakin, known by many as Oloni. |

Local Conservative MP Simon Kirby, who had campaigned for it to remain open, said he was very disappointed.
NHS England said patients would be able to register with other nearby practices at a drop-in event next week.
At least half the patients have already registered with one of the 13 surgeries closest to Eaton Place.
NHS England has offered the surgeries a payment of £25 per head for every patient they take.
Mr Kirby, the MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, had hoped another GP would take on the practice and said discussions had been so advanced that the recruitment process for new staff had already begun.

"This is the image we're going to use on his gravestone," Oksana explains.
Three weeks before Konstantin Kuzmin was killed, he was sitting in this yard enjoying a summer holiday.
"He got a telephone call. He said it was from the commander of his army unit, who told him there was going to be an inspection and that everyone had to be back on base," Oksana recalls.
"He left on 23 July. Three days later my brother called to say he was on the move again. It sounded as if he was frightened of something. 'I'm off to the south west! South-west Ukraine!' he said. I thought, perhaps, he meant the border area ... " she added.
"On 8 August we spoke again on the phone. But he was in a rush. He said to our parents 'Mama, Papa, I love you. Hi to everyone! Kiss my daughter for me…' Then, when he went to the border, or wherever it was he went, he told us not to call him. He would call us."
Konstantin was a "kontraktnik", a professional soldier.
Where and how he was killed remains a mystery.
Oksana continued: "On 17 August the military commissar came to my parents and told them my brother had been killed."
"He said a shell fired from Ukrainian territory had landed on Konstantin's vehicle. That's all we knew, until the coffin arrived. The official said my brother had been killed in military exercises on the border with Ukraine," she said.
"Do you believe the words you are telling me?" Oksana asked the official.
"No," he replied.
"So why are you saying this?" Oksana inquired.
"They tell us that there is no war, that our soldiers are not involved," says Oksana now. "So who is responsible for his death? It is the only question which tortures me."
Russia's official position remains unchanged: there are no - and there never were any - Russian troops in eastern Ukraine.
Conclusion: there was no Russian invasion, no Russian incursion, no Kremlin-sponsored war.
It is a position that paints Russia as innocent bystander in the conflict.
Moscow does now concede that some Russian soldiers have taken up arms across the border, maintaining these individuals have taken time off from the army and are fighting in their holidays.
Yet in recent weeks, there have been persistent reports of Russian servicemen being sent to fight in Ukraine; reports, too, of soldiers' funerals across Russia.
It is a hugely sensitive subject.
That may explain what happened to our news team after the interview with Oksana.
As we were leaving her village we were stopped by traffic police.
Our car boot was checked, as were our identities.
We drove on to Astrakhan, 40 miles away, for lunch.

All she wants to know is the truth about Konstantin's death - where exactly he died and how - and ensure that the army does not turn its back on her dead brother.

39,759,329 | A new study has found an atmospheric melting phenomenon in the region to be far more prevalent than anyone had realised.
This is the foehn winds that drop over the big mountains of the peninsula, raising the temperature of the air on the leeward side well above freezing.
"The best way to consider these winds is how they translate to german now, which is 'hairdryer'," explained Jenny Turton from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
"So, they're warm and they're dry and they're downslope. If you take the spring, the air over the ice shelf is usually minus 14 but during the foehn winds it’s above freezing.”
The effect on the ice that pushes east from the Peninsula out over the Weddell Sea is clear. It produces great ponds of brilliant blue melt water at the surface.
Such warm, downslope winds are well known across the Earth, of course; and they all have a local name.
The chinook winds, for example, that drop over the Rockies and Cascades in North America are the exact same thing.
Foehn is just the title they garnered originally in Europe's Alps. And while their presence on the White Continent has also long been recognised, the BAS study is really the first effort to try to quantify their behaviour.
Examining data from 2009 to 2012, Turton and colleagues identified over 200 foehn episodes a year.
That makes them more frequent than anyone had thought previously. And the range is broader, too, with occurrences being recorded much further south on the Peninsula.
This all means their melting influence on the eastern shelf ice has very likely been underestimated.
"In summer, we expect some melt, around 2mm per day. But in spring we’re having an equal amount of melt as we are in summer during the foehn winds," Ms Turton told BBC News.
"That's significant because it’s making the melt onset earlier. We kind of expect melt in January/February time; but we’re also seeing it sometimes in September/October, in particularly frequent foehn wind conditions."
Is the Larsen C Ice Shelf being conditioned for a break-up?
Turton presented the foehn research at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna.
It is timely work because there is considerable interest currently in the status of the Larsen C Ice Shelf - a floating projection from the Peninsula that is the size of Wales.
Scientists are wondering if this shelf will follow the demise of its siblings, Larsen A and Larsen B, further to the north.
These collapsed in 1995 and 2002, respectively; Larson B doing so in spectacular style.
Larsen C shares some similarities - notably, the presence of those summer melt pools.
This liquid water is problematic because of the way it can seep into crevasses and help to open them up.
The water pushes down on the fissures, driving them through to the base of the shelf in a process known as hydrofracturing. They weaken the shelf.
"The thing about Larsen B though was that it was covered in them," recalled Prof Bernd Kulessa from Swansea University.
"By the time the shelf reached a really weak state, there were literally thousands of ponds. On Larsen C, the ponds are still very much focussed in the inlets (close to the mountains). There are few ponds on the shelf itself and so it is not quite as pre-conditioned."
Drawing a lot of attention at the moment is the big iceberg calving event occurring on Larsen C. A mass of ice some 5,000 sq km in area is about to break away.
When the monster berg does detach, it could change the way stress is configured and managed by the remaining shelf structure.
It is interesting to note that the collapses of Larsen A and B were also preceded by major calvings. But these are not swift processes. They do not happen the day after tomorrow; they can take very many years to complete.
Presently, the putative Larsen C berg is hanging on to the shelf by a 20km stretch of ice. And the crack that will set it free has actually slowed its pace of late.
"It's entered a suture zone which is soft - softer because the ice is warmer and has more water content," Swansea's Prof Adrian Luckman told BBC News.
"As a result the crack cannot propagate as fast as it has done through the colder ice. So, it will be stuck in this suture zone for some time to come. However, where we're measuring the rift width, which is at the point where it broke through the first suture zone it came across - it continues to open by about a metre a day."
In total, that's a gap of more than 450m.
Prof Luckman is monitoring the crack’s position with the European Union's Sentinel-1 satellites. Their radar sensors report on the developing berg every six days, and can see the ice surface even through cloud and during the long polar winter nights.

41,002,562 | Few scientific facts are known about the hapless bird, which was last sighted in 1662.
A study of bone specimens shows the chicks hatched in August and grew rapidly to adult size.
The bird shed its feathers in March revealing fluffy grey plumage recorded in historical accounts by mariners.
Delphine Angst of the University of Cape Town, South Africa, was given access to some of the dodo bones that still exist in museums and collections, including specimens that were recently donated to a museum in France.
Her team analysed slices of bone from 22 dodos under the microscope to find out more about the bird's growth and breeding patterns.
"Before our study we knew very very little about these birds," said Dr Angst.
"Using the bone histology for the first time we managed to describe that this bird was actually breeding at a certain time of the year and was moulting just after that."
The scientists can tell from growth patterns in the bones that the chicks grew to adult size very rapidly after hatching from eggs around August.
This would have given them a survival advantage when cyclones hit the island between November and March, leading to a scarcity of food.
However, the birds probably took several years to reach sexual maturity, possibly because the adult birds lacked any natural predators.
The bones of adult birds also show signs of mineral loss, which suggests that they lost old damaged feathers after the breeding season.
Ancient mariners gave conflicting accounts of the dodo, describing them as having "black down" or "curled plumes of a greyish colour".
The research, published in Scientific Reports, backs this historical evidence.
"The dodo was quite a brown-grey bird, and during the moulting it had downy, black plumage," explained Dr Angst.
"What we found using our scientific methods fit perfectly with what the sailors had written in the past."
The research could also shed light on the dodo's extinction about 350 years ago, less than 100 years after humans arrived on the island.
Hunting was a factor in the dodo's demise, but monkeys, deer, pigs and rats released on the island from ships probably sealed their fate.
Dodos laid their eggs in nests on the ground, meaning they were vulnerable to attack by feral mammals.
Dr Angst said the dodo is considered "a very big icon of animal-human induced extinction", although the full facts are unknown.
"It's difficult to know what was the real impact of humans if we don't know the ecology of this bird and the ecology of the Mauritius island at this time," she explained.
"So that's one step to understand the ecology of these birds and the global ecosystem of Mauritius and to say, 'Okay, when the human arrived what exactly did they do wrong and why did these birds became extinct so quickly'."
Julian Hume of the Natural History Museum, London, a co-researcher on the study, said there are still many mysteries surrounding the dodo.
"Our work is showing the seasons and what was actually affecting the growth of these birds because of the climate in Mauritius," he said.
"The cyclone season, when often the island is devastated with storms - all the fruits and all the leaves are blown off the trees - is quite a harsh period for the fauna - the reptiles and the birds on Mauritius."
The dodo, which is related to the pigeon, evolved on Mauritius.
However, bone samples are rare, making it difficult to trace the evolutionary process.
Although many specimens of the dodo ended up in European museums, most were lost or destroyed in the Victorian era.

Thomson, from Gosport in Hampshire, finished second in this year's edition in January after a close battle with French winner Armel Le Cleac'h.
"I was third last time, I came second this time, so there's only one way to go isn't there?" Thomson said.
"But, it's a huge commitment and we're seeing if we can get the sponsors and the team back together for it."
The 42-year-old Wales-born sailor led for the early stages as he bid to become the first Briton to win the race at his fourth attempt.
But a broken hydrafoil around Christmas hampered the performance of his Hugo Boss boat and allowed Le Cleac'h to take a lead he never surrendered.

"You just always have to fight," Thomson told BBC South Today as he reflected on how he broke two race records to close to within 30 nautical miles of Le Cleac'h towards the finish.
"With this race, you just have to expect the unexpected. Even when I got to the Scilly Isles to turn towards the finish, it was pretty done and dusted, but anything could've happened."
Thomson will ironically take a sailing holiday to the Caribbean with his wife next month before turning his attentions to racing again.

35,076,329 | If approved, Uefa's system of positioning an additional assistant referee behind each goal would remain.
European football's governing body discussed the issue on Friday and said it would make a decision in January.
Goalline technology was introduced in the Premier League for the 2013-14 season, and Fifa used it at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
At a news conference in Paris, Uefa general secretary Gianni Infantino said there was a "positive" attitude towards its implementation, despite "logistical challenges".

"This has been on the table for quite some time," he added.
"If it happens for Euro 2016 then it will also happen for the club competitions for next season, the Champions League and Europa League. This will be in addition to the five assistants.
"The final decision will be made in January but the executive committee was pretty positive in its mindset."
Infantino and Jacques Lambert - head of the Euro 2016 organising committee - were also asked about plans around security in light of last month's terror attacks in Paris.
"Since 13 November we have held a number of technical meetings to learn all we can about what happened at the Stade de France and around it," Lambert said.
"We have also been in contact with officials at the Ministry of the Interior, the Paris police force, security and intelligence services. The co-ordination with the state services will intensify over coming days and weeks."
Lambert also said plans to have fan zones in the 10 host cities would remain.
"For them, these are a place where crowds can gather and can see the matches for free on big screens," he said.
"It also helps to have this crowd gathered in one place rather than scattered around the towns."
Uefa also announced an increase in the prize money to be distributed among teams playing at Euro 2016 in France.
The 24 teams will share a total of £217m compared to the £141m at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, which featured only 16 teams.
Each nation will receive at least £5.7m, while three wins in the group stage on the way to victory in the final would net a further £19.5m. | Goalline technology could be used at Euro 2016 and in next season's Champions League and Europa League. |

Cheltenham's Billy Waters forced a strong one-handed save from Jamie Jones after eight minutes but the best openings of the first half came within 60 seconds of one another.
Stevenage's Charlie Lee had a header cleared off the line by Jack Barthram on 18 minutes before Danny Wright held up for Harry Pell to fire a low shot across goal which was pushed around the far post by Jones at the other end.
The visitors upped the ante before half-time and Stevenage's Tyler Walker teed up Dale Gorman to fizz over from 18 yards, five minutes after the restart.

Forfar is the only sheriff court in Angus, following the closure of Arbroath Sheriff Court in 2014.
Solemn cases - those held before a jury - will call at Forfar Sheriff Court until January.

"I don't see any issues. If there were any, it would be around accommodation, like the number of interview rooms and cells available, and witnesses having to travel."
A SCTC spokesman said: "A consultation meeting was held in Forfar on 12 July at which the new programme and the procedures and arrangements for solemn work in Dundee were discussed with local court users who attended.
"We can confirm that, after consideration, Sheriff Principal Lewis has decided that solemn business from Forfar Sheriff Court will move to Dundee Sheriff Court.

35,624,164 | The 34-year-old Argentine goalkeeper spectacularly rewarded the faith of manager Manuel Pellegrini with saves from Lucas, Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana in the shoot-out after he was selected ahead of first-choice Joe Hart.
Fernandinho put City ahead just after the break after an error by Liverpool's otherwise heroic keeper Simon Mignolet. But two glaring misses from former Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling opened the door for Coutinho's late leveller.
In the shootout, Fernandinho hit a post with City's first kick, but Jesus Navas and Sergio Aguero were on target as Caballero made his decisive saves, allowing Yaya Toure to convert the winning penalty.
Listen: 606 with Jason Mohammad & Ian Wright
Pellegrini made a huge call in selecting the veteran Caballero ahead of Hart, particularly in the light of his dreadful display in the 5-1 FA Cup fifth-round defeat by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge a week earlier.
City's manager has always trusted the keeper he coached at Malaga before bringing him to Manchester - and it was repaid with interest as Caballero made a magnificent stop from Divock Origi's header before defying Liverpool in the shootout.
The temptation would have been to reinstate Hart after Caballero's struggles last Sunday but Pellegrini kept to his tried and trusted policy in this competition - and came out a deserved winner.
It ensured at least one trophy for the Chilean coach in his final season before Pep Guardiola takes over, with success in the Premier League and Champions League still a possibility.
Liverpool keeper Mignolet showed the inconsistency that brings him as much criticism as praise.
The Belgian was badly at fault for letting Fernandinho's shot slip under his body but redeemed hlmself - and more besides - with some stunning stops from Aguero, and also dived bravely into a six-yard box scramble to clear as City threatened once more.
This, it seems, will always be life with Mignolet in goal but Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp trusts the keeper the extent that he was recently awarded a five-year contract.
It still remains to be seen whether he is the long-term solution because he simply cannot eradicate important errors from his game.
If Raheem Sterling joined Manchester City's celebrations with even more gusto than his team-mates, it may have been through relief as much as joy.
This is because if City had lost, the forward who made an acrimonious £49m move from Liverpool in the summer would have carried a large portion of the blame.
Sterling was guilty of two dreadful misses when City were 1-0 up and seeking the second goal that would have eased their path to victory.
The England international steered wide of an open goal when it seemed so much easier to score, then was off target with another perfect opportunity after being set up by Aguero.
Sterling, whose every touch was jeered by Liverpool's fans after the manner of his departure from the club, got away with it but this was further proof that the weaknesses that have lingered in his game, namely finishing and decision-making, still exist. A work in progress.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "We feel down but now we have to stand up. Only silly idiots stay on the floor and wait for the next defeat.
"We will strike back. We have felt how it is to lose. It is not the best moment but on Monday morning maybe we can change everything.
"We will go on and we will get better. We have to work really hard, carry on and there is light at the end of the tunnel. This important."
Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini: "I was concerned about the amount of chances we missed. After that we played better in extra-time.
"It's a very important moment, and it's always very special to win a title at Wembley."
There's little chance for Liverpool and Manchester City to catch a breather before they meet each other again - in the Premier League at Anfield on Wednesday.

Officers are also releasing the latest data on the impact of the A9's average speed cameras.
The information shows that casualty figures have continued to fall.
The network of cameras between Dunblane and Inverness has been operational since October 2014.
It has been credited with helping to reduce the number of fatal and serious casualties on that stretch of the road by almost 43% over the 27 months to January this year .
There have been no fatal casualties between Dunblane and Perth and a reduction of almost 40% in fatal casualties between Perth and Inverness.
Stuart Wilson, chairman of the A9 Safety Group, said: "The other performance data continues to support the positive change in driver behaviour on the route and also highlights evidence to show that the journey time for people travelling between Perth and Inverness has remained consistent."
But he added: "The group's commitment to making the A9 a safer route will also see a specific safety campaign being launched in June which will focus on driver behaviour related to distraction.

35,997,213 | In her new film thriller Eye in the Sky she plays an army colonel, a role originally written for a man.
The actress said it made her "cross" that many roles were given to men regardless of whether it was the lead character.
"You look at a scene and it's going to be all men around a table and you think at least half of those could have been women," she said.
"It's so hard to get a job as an actress, let alone as a star but just a job - to be a working actress it's so much more difficult than it is for men".
Sandra Bullock last year revealed she had got her agent to find scripts with interesting male roles and then pursued them for herself. One of those roles was political drama Our Brand is Crisis, released in January, in which she played a campaign manager.
Dame Helen said the lack of roles for women was also markedly noticeable in the film industry when it comes to extras.
"The only time that there is more women on the set as extras is a swimming pool scene and they're all in bikinis - any swimming pool scene and suddenly it's full of women."
In Eye in the Sky Mirren plays an army intelligence Colonel remotely commanding a top secret drone operation from London, attempting to capture a group of terrorists from their safe-house in Nairobi, Kenya.
Although the role was originally written for a man the film's producers, who include actor Colin Firth and director Gavin Hood, had changed the part to a woman before it was offered to Dame Helen.
Something she thinks was an "astute decision" because it opened up debate.
"The film is about the discussions people have when they leave the cinema and having a woman in that role allows you to make that discussion," she said.
"As opposed to saying 'well that's men, that's what men do in war' ... I think Gavin very astutely understood and realised putting a woman [in the role] just changed the discussion."
The film follows the decision making process almost in real time as the mission turns from a "capture" to a "kill" operation as Colonel Powell realises that the terrorists are about to embark on a suicide bombing mission.
The debate becomes more complicated when a nine-year-old girl selling bread enters the kill zone.
Also involved in the decision making is British Lieutenant-General Frank Benson played by Alan Rickman in his last on-screen role.
Dame Helen and Rickman did not act in any scenes together, but she said they had spoken about why they wanted to appear in the film.
"For him like me he wasn't doing it to play this wonderful role that 'ooh I might win an award with that role' - they're not those sorts of roles at all - both of us wanted to do it because of the nature of the film," she said.
The actress said she thinks the movie is a fitting tribute to him.
"I don't want it to be his last film, he left us much, much too early. It would've been wonderful to see his next 20 years of performances but I think it's a great way to say goodbye to him.
"Because I think it's a film that would appeal to his intelligence, his humanity - I'm sure why he did it in the first place."

Analysis: How Moses has become key for Chelsea
Relive how Chelsea moved top of the Premier League
Following the arrival of former Juventus and Italy coach Conte, many expected to see a defensively-focused approach adopted by the Blues.
However, they were porous in the opening two months of the season, culminating in the chastening 3-0 defeat at Arsenal on 24 September.
Since then, the Blues have been impregnable in the Premier League.
Conte made a tactical tweak to a 3-4-3 formation for their next game at Hull - and they have won all six league matches since without conceding a goal.
Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso have been revelatory in their adopted wing-back roles, while Gary Cahill, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta have looked assured in a back three.
It has proved to be a masterstroke by Conte. And it has helped the Blues move top of the table for the first time since they were crowned champions in May 2015.
Now back-to-back matches against Tottenham and Manchester City will be another measure of their recent improvement.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was effusive in his praise of Costa before the game, labelling the Spain international as "one of the best strikers in the world".
On this evidence it is hard to disagree.
While the former Atletico Madrid frontman did not find himself presented with plenty of goalscoring chances, he was constantly bothering the Boro centre-backs with his movement, strength and willingness to chase seemingly lost causes.
And, most importantly, he was clinical when a sniff of an opportunity arrived.
Boro failed to deal with Eden Hazard's inswinging corner just before half-time, Costa reacting quickest to instinctively stab in an angled effort from inside the six-yard box.
With Hazard quiet in comparison to recent weeks, Costa was the fulcrum of the visitors' attacking play.
The 28-year-old matchwinner also teed up chances for Pedro, Marcos Alonso and Hazard, showing once again he is back to the form which helped the Blues win the Premier League title 18 months ago in his first season at the club.
History was not on Middlesbrough's side going into the match, having lost their previous six matches against Chelsea without managing to score.
A lack of cutting edge proved to be their undoing again.
Marshalled by skipper Ben Gibson, the home side were organised and restricted one of the title contenders to a handful of clear-cut chances.
While they only trailed by a single goal, Boro - who fought back to snatch a draw at Manchester City in their last outing - had hope.
However, just one shot on target tells you where their problems lie.
"We stayed in the game until the end but didn't get the point we think we deserved. There are positives to take," said Gibson.
Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka told BBC Sport: "It is frustrating. We knew before the game we were playing against a top-of-the-table team.
"But after our last performances against Arsenal and Manchester City we were confident and we showed again we can compete against those teams.
"One mistake punished us. But if we keep playing like we have done in the past few games. we will win more games. The team is improving."
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte told BBC Sport: "I knew this game would be difficult because this team is well organised and they are in good form.
"But we deserved to win because we scored the goal and created many chances for a second goal.
"The first five minutes wasn't good for us. Middlesbrough started very well and we started badly but during the game our possession got better and we started to move the ball quicker. We didn't concede and stopped any opportunity for them to score."
A big test of Chelsea's title credentials. The Blues host Tottenham at Stamford Bridge next Saturday (17:30 GMT). Meanwhile, Boro go to champions Leicester City earlier on the same day (15:00 GMT).

40,958,229 | Since 2014, hundreds of people from Western countries, including the UK, have joined Kurdish rebel group YPG.
The Henry Jackson Society said YPG was a front for the banned PKK group and warned that those who joined it could be drawn into terror activity at home.
It said the government urgently needed to stop Britons joining the group.
Security minister Ben Wallace said: "We deter all UK citizens from travelling overseas to fight with any form of irregular forces.
"People who do so should be aware that they potentially open themselves up to a range prosecutions linked to such behaviour."
The Centre for the Response to Radicalisation and Terrorism, at the Henry Jackson Society, said the YPG was a subsidiary of the PKK, a "violent terrorist organisation" banned by the UK and the US.
The foreign affairs think tank said there was a danger those who fought for the group could participate in its "criminal-terror activities" or carry out "lone actor atrocities" when they returned home.
The training they are given in firearms and explosives also posed a risk, the report said.
Four British men have been killed fighting with the Kurds against IS and 29 Western volunteers have died in total.
Kurdish fighters on the ground in Syria have driven IS out of large areas of territory.
Kyle Orton, a fellow at the centre, said: "Far from battling terrorism they're in effect aiding one proscribed terrorist organisation overcome another.
"The government needs to act now to prevent Britons falling into this trap.
"If they're already there and want to come back, comprehensive tests need to be put in place to prevent potentially dangerous individuals within our communities."
The father of a British man who died fighting with the YPG against IS in March 2015 told the BBC he was "deeply hurt" by the think tank's report.
Chris Scurfield, the father of Erik Scurfield, the first British man to be killed fighting against IS with the Kurds, said the report had upset families of British volunteer fighters.
He said: "We are speaking with other bereaved parents whose children also lost their lives in Syria, fighting alongside coalition forces to defeat ISIS and save the lives of civilians."
In a statement the Kurdistan Solidarity Campaign said: "British fighters who join the Kurdish units of YPG are not terrorists.
"They are fighting for the same values as British people hold dear, against the ISIS threat and for freedom and democracy. The YPG are in coalition with the UK and US forces.
"The Kurds do not encourage Brits to travel to Syria to fight ISIS, however many do. They are seen as heroes and to label them as this ill-informed report does is wrong."
By Emma Vardy, BBC News
The issue of foreign fighters has become a central security and political question for the UK since the rise of so-called Islamic State.
British volunteers travelling to fight against IS with the Kurds have been likened to Britons in the 1930s who went to fight against fascism in the Spanish civil war.
Authorities continually warn against going to fight for any group, but no returning fighters have yet been prosecuted specifically for joining Kurdish militia.
The YPG and PKK are seen as two different organisations by the British government.
The YPG is recognised as an important ally for the West and is currently fighting a difficult ground war to push IS out of the key city of Raqqa.
But whether to charge returning fighters is still being reviewed by the police and Crown Prosecution Service on a case-by-case basis.

37,295,554 | The car giant announced plans to halve production of its new generation of petrol engines in south Wales.
Ken Skates said he wanted assurances about the security of 500 jobs which was a condition of £15m state aid.
"We want to make sure there are jobs in that plant for decades to come," he told BBC Radio Wales.
Ford said on Tuesday it would cut its investment from a planned £181m to £100m, but had no plans to reduce the 1,800-strong workforce at Bridgend.
The company's statement referred to "fluctuations" in global demand, predicting that required numbers of the new engine would be "lower than originally planned".
Industry experts say part of the problem for Ford is that the current low value of the pound has made imports more expensive.
Although Ford did not mention Brexit, Mr Skates raised it as a factor when asked about developments on Good Morning Wales.
"In order to get stability for Ford and for others in the automotive sector, what we need from the UK government is a firm commitment to access to the free market in order to create stability within the currency markets," he said.
"It's fair to say there have been many warnings since the referendum. There are opportunities in terms of exports, in terms of attracting more visitors to Wales.
"We have been presenting a business confidence plan to make sure we capitalise on the opportunities.
"But of course there are challenges, and I think this is one of many challenges that have been highlighted."
Ford's decision to scale back comes nearly a year after the deal was announced, with the then economy minister Edwina Hart saying it would "safeguard more than 750 skilled Welsh jobs for many years".
The investment - which was won against competition from Ford plants in Germany, Spain and Romania - was backed by nearly £15m from the Welsh Government.
The public money relates to the production of a new line of Dragon engines.
Mr Skates said: "Normally we expect jobs to be secured for a minimum of five years.
"I wish to speak with Ford to gain assurance that jobs will be secured for a longer period.
"We wish to know how Ford will be stimulating demand for that product globally.
"We don't just wish to secure jobs for the short and medium term - we want to make sure there are jobs in that plant for decades to come."
This is the first big corporate announcement in Wales since the Brexit result.
Ford and Unite say it has nothing to do with the vote, but Ken Skates danced around the issue as closely as he could when he said Ford's decision to scale back investment highlights the need for the UK to retain tariff-free trade with the rest of the EU.
His view is that everything needs to be done to try to reduce currency fluctuations, and he clearly believes that being in the single market is a way of achieving that.
The weakening of the pound since the referendum has helped those exporting but it makes imports more expensive, something which Ford has said could cause it problems in the long-term.
The economy secretary also gave some revealing details about the terms of the financial aid to Ford which in previous years would have remained firmly under wraps.
Ford will get its £15m support so long as it employs 500 people on the new Dragon engines for five years.
As things stand, it is still due to do that.
September 2015 Workers celebrated the news that they had secured the contract to manufacture 250,000 of the new Dragon petrol engines annually starting in 2018. It secured hundreds of jobs but it meant that Bridgend would only be making a third of the engines it does now.
September 2016 A year on and it emerges that Ford will produce 125,000 Dragon engines - only half of those previously planned - from 2018.
2018 Bridgend Ford is due to stop producing the 250,000 engines a year it makes for Jaguar Land Rover. Production of the 500,000 engines it makes for Ford models is also expected to come to an end around the same time. | Production cuts at the Ford engine plant in Bridgend show the need for the UK to keep free trade with Europe after Brexit, the economy secretary has said. |

37,823,821 | Under the new 'Code for Sports Governance', organisations must adhere to "gold standards" of transparency, accountability and financial integrity.
The code sets out a target of at least 30% gender diversity on boards.
"If sport wants to be publicly funded, it must reflect the public it serves," said the chief executive of Women in Sport, Ruth Holdaway.
She said the code sent that message "loud and clear".
The code calls for:
The new code applies to governing bodies who ask for UK government and National Lottery funding from April 2017.
UK Sport predicts changes in practice should be in evidence by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
"It is vital that our domestic sports bodies and organisations uphold the very highest standards of governance and lead the world in this area," sports minister Tracey Crouch said.
It is not only funding which could be hit if authorities do not comply with the code.
The government could also take other punitive measures - including the withdrawal of the support sporting bodies need when bidding to host major events.
Both UK Sport and Sport England allocate money from the government and National Lottery to grassroots initiatives, clubs, charities, local authorities and national governing bodies.
Sport England is investing £493m into 46 sports between 2013 and 2017 while UK Sport has invested about £350m in the same period.
The Football Association is among the many recipients and will receive £30m from Sport England during the period 2013-2017.
However, the sports minister warned the FA earlier this year that it would be stripped of further funding unless it made changes to its governance.
The FA has just one woman on its board, independent non-executive director Dame Heather Rabbatts, who has been left "frustrated" and "disappointed" at its failure to implement reform.
However, FA chairman Greg Clarke welcomed the new code, saying: "It will rightly protect public investment in sport by ensuring that transparency, controls and financial probity are a prerequisite for all organisations in receipt of government money."
British Cycling, the England and Wales Cricket Board, the Lawn Tennis Association, UK Athletics and UK Gymnastics are other recipients of funding, along with many Olympic and Paralympic sports.
UK Sport's chief operating officer Simon Morton told BBC Sport: "This code includes over 50 requirements that sporting organisations in receipt of public funding will now have to implement.
"It will take different times for every single organisation. They all have different constitutions in place, so we'll agree bespoke timescales.
"But certainly as we move into the next funding cycle, which will start from 2017 onwards, they'll need to be compliant with these standards.
"Sports bodies have already done well in governance terms, but there's a huge amount of public funding going into sport and the key message is [for them] to justify the funding, give the public confidence that the governance of sport is right."
The government announced a new code would be developed in its Sporting Future strategy, published in December 2015.
In response, UK Sport and Sport England embarked on a consultation period with governing bodies and found strong support for higher standards of governance.
Of the more than 200 organisations consulted, 98% backed a drive for greater transparency and 78% agreed on the need for increased diversity.
"There have been significant improvements in standards of governance, which is to be welcomed, but there is still much to do," Sport England chair Nick Bitel said.
"Diversity in sports sector boardrooms is still an issue and requires a mandatory code to achieve sustainable change."
UK Sport chairman Rod Carr added: "We are confident that despite the recent historic successes at the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we can be even stronger as a high-performance system with better representation and more openness.
"This is also about encouraging more diversity into leadership positions in sport, and I fully expect to see a broad range of talent coming in to key roles during the Tokyo cycle."
Dan Roan, BBC sports editor
This could be very serious for governing bodies like the FA. As well as cutting investment through its funding agencies for sports who fail to reform, the government is prepared to withdraw essential support and guarantees required for bids to host major international events.
That could mean the FA's plans to bid for the 2030 World Cup are blocked, if it refuses to modernise.
Very few British governing bodies currently meet the new governance criteria, so this code represents a significant change in the way sports are run.

29,639,662 | Simon Hirst, now Stephanie, hosted a breakfast show on Capital FM Yorkshire and Vinyl Heaven on Gold.
But after 11 years she came off air in June without any prior notice.
Global Radio, which owns the commercial stations, said the DJ had decided to leave "to focus on the process".
The letter has been seen by BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
The document, which is addressed to Simon Hirst and signed by the executive director of Global Radio Richard Park, states both stations "did not think gender reassignment was suitable or commercially viable content" for shows.
It goes on to say: "We have a responsibility for your well-being, and having considered the matter we are not satisfied that going through this process 'on air' is in your best interests."
The company writes it will continue to provide the DJ with support throughout the process "in any way we can".
Ms Hirst, 39, announced on Saturday on BBC Radio 5 live that she was half way through gender reassignment treatment, and that she is now living her life as a woman, and is changing her name to Stephanie. Her nickname continues to be Hirsty.
In her latest interview with the BBC she said: "I genuinely feel alive. I wake up in the morning now and I want to get up because there's stuff to do and I didn't want to get up as a man."
She said she knew early on that she wanted to be a female.
"My first recollections are when I was about eight years old, I wore a girl's roller skates who lived round the corner and it just felt right. Something immediately clicked and I don't know what it was," she said.
Numerous sources have told the BBC that Ms Hirst was suspended by bosses at Global Radio when she disclosed that she wanted to be a woman.
It is claimed she was not given the opportunity to have a final show to say goodbye to her fans.
But in a statement in response to these allegations, the media company said: "Hirsty made the decision to take time out to focus on the process he was going through.
"We were sad to see Hirsty leave but we were happy to offer him our full support.
"We wish Stephanie all the best in the future. It's standard practice in radio for presenters to come off air once they've made a decision to leave."
Ms Hirst claims the two parties have come to a suitable agreement. It is believed that she has signed a non-disclosure agreement.
When asked about claims that she was treated wrongly by her former employer, she said: "Everyone was supportive. There is nothing more I can add that can be of use to you."
Global Radio has several stations within its portfolio including Heart, Capital, Classic FM, Smooth, LBC, and Gold.
It broadcasts to more than 20 million people each week, and is part of the This is Global Ltd British media company.

36,508,327 | Vettel was 0.239 seconds clear of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, with Mercedes' Nico Rosberg and Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen also quicker than Hamilton.
Drivers headed out early to get to work before expected rain, making for a hectic session with many incidents.
The biggest was a heavy crash for Kevin Magnussen's Renault after Turn Eight.
The Dane appeared to make a mistake and lose control under power on a slow lap, possibly because his tyres were not up to temperature.
The incident brought an early end to the session.
Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat came close to a crash, too, spinning down the escape road at Turn Four.
Hamilton and Rosberg were among those to miss the fast final chicane after misjudging the entry; Vettel one of several to run wide at the preceding hairpin for the same reason.
This is characteristic of a very difficult circuit, which lacks grip, and features high-speed sections leading into generally slow corners.
Friday's sun was replaced by cooler temperatures and grey skies and the anticipated rain arrived about halfway through, at first spitting, then developing into a very light drizzle.
The track never became particularly wet, but there was enough humidity to render the last 20 minutes or so of the session irrelevant in terms of fast lap times.

Hamilton, who had been fastest in both sessions on Friday, never topped the times and ended the session 0.415secs off the pace and just 0.018secs slower than Rosberg two places ahead of him.
Hamilton is 24 points behind Rosberg in the championship after finally getting his title campaign off the ground following a difficult start to the season with victory in Monaco last time out.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, who will be a serious contender for pole and victory if it is wet, is a further 16 points adrift.
Ricciardo was sixth, ahead of Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz and McLaren's Fernando Alonso, who was the only driver in the top 10 to set his fastest time on the theoretically slower super-soft tyre rather than the ultra-soft.
Force India's Sergio Perez and Williams's Felipe Massa completed the top 10, with the second McLaren of Jenson Button 13th.

33,597,660 | Residents of the south-western village of Garmen marched in the capital, Sofia, at the weekend to demand more demolitions.
There is also tension in the Sofia suburb of Orlandovci, where a smaller number of houses inhabited by Roma are slated for destruction.
Human rights groups accuse the government of bowing to the nationalists, and of risking wider conflicts between Roma and non-Roma Bulgarians.
Nationalist politicians, and residents who support the demolitions, say the law until now turned a blind eye to illegal construction if Roma were involved.
Regional Development Minister Lilyana Pavlova said last week that 8 of the 124 illegal buildings in Garmen had already been demolished, and she was waiting for the local council to provide a timetable for the rest.
Between 5-10% of Bulgaria's 7.4 million people are of ethnic Roma background.
Bulgaria is the poorest EU member state, and many people - Roma and non-Roma, rich and poor - live in buildings that could be classified as illegal.
Garmen's Mayor Minka Kapetanova says she is caught in a vicious circle.
In the mid 1960s, she told the BBC, about 20 formerly nomadic Roma were forced to settle by the Communist authorities on agricultural land on the edge of Garmen.
By today, that number has multiplied to over 800, as the families had children and grandchildren. Most have residence permits, granted by the previous mayor.
On 24 May, according to the Ms Kapetanova, a group of Roma returned from selling mushrooms they had picked, and celebrated with loud music. When locals complained, a brawl developed, and there were attempts to set fire to the Roma shacks.
"Some Bulgarians in the village seemed well prepared," she says, speaking of those who attacked the Roma settlement. She suspects what she calls "a hidden agenda", but refuses to name names.
Krassimir Kanev, head of the Bulgarian human rights group Helsinki Committee, accuses the Patriotic Front (PF) - an electoral alliance of two nationalist parties - of stoking hostility against the Roma, by turning a local quarrel into a nationwide scandal.
"This could turn into a violent conflict, and spoil inter-ethnic relations in Bulgaria," he said.
Inconclusive elections last October put a record eight parties into parliament.
The coalition government led by the centre-right GERB party depends on the votes of the nationalist PF alliance.
Local elections are due in October this year in Bulgaria, and the PF appears to want to prove to its supporters that it is active on two of its main policies - demolishing illegal Roma settlements, and preventing asylum-seekers entering Bulgaria. | Bulgaria has had to suspend the demolition of two Roma settlements because of an appeal from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), but pressure from nationalist parties suggests it will go ahead. |

34,354,774 | Lancaster has dropped fly-half George Ford in favour of Owen Farrell and brought in Sam Burgess in the centres.
England beat Fiji in their first match, while Wales got the better of Uruguay.
Lancaster said: "The game will be judged a success if we win. If we lose I will be questioned. Clearly my selection heightens it."
Jonathan Joseph's chest injury has prompted the changes in England's backline.
With Burgess paired with Brad Barritt, Lancaster is fielding the 14th centre partnership of his four-year tenure.
Just 11 months since he switched codes, and after only 112 minutes of Test rugby, Burgess will be up against British and Irish Lion Jamie Roberts, capped 72 times by Wales.
"We need to have good defenders to stop Wales on the gain-line," said Lancaster.
"Sam's a good and powerful defender. But also I think he offers us a threat in attack. We don't always have to use the threat that he is. Sometimes you can bypass him."
Mike Ford, formerly England's defence coach, said son George was "devastated" to have been relegated to the bench
Lancaster said: "Obviously George is disappointed, but in the same way it is about how you deal with disappointment.
"In my mind, they are both word-class players and we are just playing in a different way, a different order."

Kenya Airways reports a loss of $116m (£73m) for the six months up to September, citing the Ebola outbreak in three West African countries and rising insecurity in Kenya.
Liberia's President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, lifts the state of emergency due to recent progress made against the virus.
Here is the latest Ebola news for Thursday 13 November - in 15 seconds. | The medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) says it is to host clinical trials of new Ebola treatments in West Africa, one of them using the blood of recovered patients. |
37,171,751 | The victim has been named as Mia Ayliffe-Chung, from Derbyshire.
A 30-year-old British man - named locally as Tom Jackson from Cheshire - was severely injured in the attack in Home Hill, Queensland, and is in a critical condition.
A French suspect, 29, who allegedly said the Arabic phrase "Allahu akbar" during the attack, was arrested.
Police are treating the incident as a murder case, not a terror attack.
They are investigating a number of possible motivations, including drugs misuse, mental health issues and extremism.
The stabbing took place at 23:15 local time on Tuesday at Shelley's Backpackers in Home Hill.
The small town - about 100km (60 miles) south-east of the city of Townsville - is popular among travellers looking to do agricultural work, such as fruit picking.
Miss Ayliffe-Chung had lived in Surfers Paradise, on Australia's Gold Coast, and worked as a waitress at the Bedroom Lounge Bar before making an 800-mile trip north to work outdoors.
She was just days into a three-month trip working with animals when she was killed.
Her latest Facebook update was on August 20, four days after starting work on the farm.
Jamison Stead, who had been in a relationship with Miss Ayliffe-Chung, remembered her as a "beautiful soul" who had "fallen in love with the country and its people".
He said: "She was a beautiful girl who had her whole life ahead of her and we spoke of what the future may hold in store for her and what she wanted to do.
"It's sad knowing that she won't be able to do those things."
Mr Stead said they met towards the end of April through friends in Surfers Paradise but had recently split up.
"She was living in Surfers on the Gold Coast and planning on exploring Australia, with the intention to find a sponsorship as she wanted to stay here as she had fallen in love with the country and its people," he said.
"I can't quite get my head around what's happened. Truly devastated, more just disbelief that this has happened."
Mykah Powell, 18, a colleague from the Bedroom Lounge Bar, said Miss Ayliffe-Chung initially worked at Bond University in Queensland before starting work at the dance club six months ago.
She said: "She loved her cat Leo which she purchased here in Australia very much and was forever Snapchat-ing the cuteness."
Amy Browne, 19, who also worked at the Bedroom Lounge Bar, said: "Mia was honestly the most bubbliest and most caring girl I knew.
"She got along with everyone she met, she just had that gorgeous personality that everyone seemed to enjoy.
"She always had a smile on her face, so innocent and full of life and love. Our memories will be cherished forever and I know she'd want us all to stay positive in the darkest of times."
According to her Facebook profile, Miss Ayliffe-Chung is from Wirksworth in Derbyshire.
She went to Anthony Gell School in Wirksworth before going to Chesterfield College to study psychology and communication and culture.
She later went to Buxton and Leek College to study childcare.
It is understood she travelled to Bali before arriving in Australia.
Tommy Martin, 24, from Berkshire, who met Miss Ayliffe-Chung in Bali before reuniting on the Gold Coast, said: "She was a free spirit who didn't have any set plans but that's the way she loved it."
Police said Miss Ayliffe-Chung's family had been contacted, as had the relatives of Mr Jackson - who was taken to Townsville Base Hospital.
British High Commissioner to Australia, Menna Rawlings, is also travelling to Townsville.
"We are working with local authorities and providing support to the families after one British national was killed and another was critically injured in an incident in Australia," a spokeswoman for the commission said.
"Our thoughts are with the families at this difficult time."
A 46-year-old Australian man injured in the incident - named by a friend as Grant Scholz, who ran the hostel - sustained non life-threatening injuries and has since been released from hospital.
A dog was also killed in the attack.
Queensland Police Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the suspect, who was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries, had been in Australia since around March on a temporary visa. He has no known local connections.
Mr Gollschewski said officers, who retrieved a knife thought to be the weapon involved in the stabbing, were "not ruling out any motivations at this early stage, whether they be political or criminal".
He said the woman was the first person to be attacked.
"Investigators will also consider whether mental health or drugs misuse factors are involved in this incident," he added.
Queensland Police described the attack as "a senseless act of violence".
"We don't have any motive at this stage," said Detective Superintendent Ray Rohweder on Twitter.
"We're taking a number of statements in relation to what exactly was said on the evening."
Paul Lovatt, head of pastoral care at Anthony Gell School in Wirksworth, remembered former pupil Miss Ayliffe-Chung as "enriching the school environment".
He said: "Everyone at the school is shocked and saddened at the news that Mia has lost her life in the most tragic of circumstances.
"We knew Mia as a student with so much joy and energy who was well-liked by her friends and teachers.
"She joined our school in Year 9 and flourished here, both in making strong friendships and in achieving high-level GCSEs.
"Mia was a bubbly student who was energetic, caring and who immersed herself in life, enriching the school environment she contributed to.

34,470,759 | Brian Óg Maguire, 24, from Lisnaskea died after being hit by a steel cable which snapped at the Quinn pre-stressed concrete factory in Derrylin on 13 September 2012.
Quinn Building Products Ltd pleaded guilty in August to failing to ensure the safety of an employee, and failing to maintain work equipment.
A prosecution barrister told Omagh Crown Court that this was not the first time a steel cable had snapped, but the company had kept no records of previous incidents.
He said there was no proper cleaning regime and a failure to replace worn equipment.
He said Brian Óg Maguire had been "terribly unlucky" but the breaches of Health and Safety legislation by the company had caused his death.
A barrister representing Quinn Building Products said Brian Óg Maguire had been standing in a mesh safety cage when the cable snapped and whipped backwards.
He said it was the first time a steel rope had snapped in this way before, describing what happened as a "perfect storm that no one ever envisaged".
In a statement on Friday, the company's management said the "tragic event" had occurred prior to the acquisition of the business by Quinn Industrial Holdings Limited.
The barrister said the company had accepted responsibility for what he described as a "terribly unlucky accident, a freakish accident" and had taken "significant steps to enhance safety procedures" so that a "similar, tragic accident could not happen".
He added: "I do not in any way seek to undermine the terrible loss the family has experienced."

27,302,820 | The report by former City minister Lord Myners says the group's current board is "manifestly dysfunctional".
He recommends replacing it with a smaller board made up of people with business experience.
The Co-op said it was committed to "far-reaching and fundamental reform".
Lord Myners told the BBC: "The group has lost half of its net worth over the past four years, circa £3.5bn of erosion of wealth.
"It is one of the great national business calamities and it is being led by a board totally unable - because of a lack of experience - to hold them to account."
By Kamal AhmedBBC Business editor
Lord Myners has decided that attack is the best form of defence. Over 186 pages he details a litany of failings not only in the governance structure of the Co-op but in the very culture of the organisation which he describes as "corrosive". If the Co-op does not vote for reform at its annual general meeting on 17 May, then critics of the organisation will say it was not for lack of warnings.
Lord Myners' report sits four-square with that of Sir Christopher Kelly, the former civil servant whose report on the near collapse of the Co-op Bank last week used similarly strong language.
Lord Myners also makes a brief but vital mention - on page 97 - of the Co-op's creditor banks. This is the syndicate led by the Royal Bank of Scotland which is supporting the Co-op's debts. Sources tell me they want to see reform and may well decide to make some noise publicly about the issue.
The danger in the reform push is that more traditional members who fear the democratic structure of the Co-op is at risk could feel they are being bullied into submission. A second major report detailing the failings of a board that is still largely in place could receive a very negative response from at least some of its members.
In his report, Lord Myners said: "Radical decisions on governance structure need to be taken very soon - and with resolution - if the Co-op, as my mother knew it, is to be saved."
Lord Myners resigned from the Co-op board in April after his suggestions for reforming the group's corporate structure ran into resistance from supporters of its mutual model.
The Co-op Group commissioned the report from Lord Myners but is not obliged to act on the suggestions.
At its annual general meeting on 17 May, eligible members will be asked to vote on a resolution which the Co-op says provides a framework for governance reform, and echoes Lord Myners' recommendations.
"A resolution containing four key principles on reform is being put to members at a General Meeting in May and we will build from there to ensure we put the right changes in place," said Co-operative Group chair Ursula Lidbetter.
Around 100 members will be eligible to vote, including its regional board members and members of its independent Co-operative Societies.
The report comes just days after the Co-op Group, which runs a variety of businesses from banks, to supermarkets, funeral homes and pharmacies, was sharply criticised in a review by Sir Christopher Kelly into the near-collapse of its banking arm.
The bank faced near-collapse last year after the discovery of a £1.5bn hole in its balance sheet, and had to be rescued by bondholders in a move that saw the group's stake reduced from 100% to 30%.
Its former chairman Paul Flowers was arrested last year following allegations that he was involved in a drug deal.
Mr Flowers has since been charged with possessing drugs and on Wednesday pleaded guilty to drug possession, at Leeds Magistrates' Court.
Last month, the Co-op Group reported losses of £2.5bn for 2013, the worst results in its history.
Lord Myners said the group's board was "still stuck in denial over this near ruinous failure of governance".
He has recommended a smaller board for the group, that is made up of members with similar skills and experience to those at competing companies - such as Tesco and Sainsbury's in food and Nationwide in lending.
However, he admits that he is "less confident" that traditionalists at the group will accept the radical decisions he believes are necessary to overhaul its corporate governance structure.
"The decision lies in the hands of the elected democrats. I have done all I can do," he said.
The current arrangement, he says means there is "limited shared purpose among group board directors," as they are elected to the board with differing views on what the Co-op's priorities should be.
One director, who was not named, told the review: "Some want a dividend, some want low prices, some want to do social good and some want free range chickens".
Members of the board also failed to follow their own rules.
During the review, one director "appeared to have actively participated in a campaign to reverse a strategic decision made by the group board only days earlier".
That happened despite a rule that directors "support any decision of the board, whether they agree with it or voted in favour of it" and "should stand by the decisions made by the collective board".
Similarly, the current multi-layered system of group and regional boards and area committees slows down decision-making as "directors claim that they need to get an opinion from their respective region before condoning a course of action" even though they are expected to make up their own minds.
Currently, the Co-op has 48 area committees - the grassroots of the organisation - which each have 10-12 members. They elect members of seven regional boards who in turn elect 15 members of a board that can be as large as 23 members.
There are also boards for the food business; the bank, which the group no longer fully owns; and specialist businesses, which include the pharmacies and funeral care. The Co-op calls these subsidiary boards.
"The group's bottom-up, competitive election process provides no rigour for assessing the commercial capability levels of candidates as there is no meaningful competency bar in place. Similarly, it provides no scope to balance the capabilities and fill skills gaps," says the report.
Lord Myners proposes a board with six or seven independent directors and two executives as well as a separate body to handle members' concerns, called the National Membership Council.
The National Membership Council, with about 50 members, would hold the board to account and help decide who is elected to the board. It would also advise the board on ethical matters. | The Co-operative Group should adopt a much smaller board and focus on being profitable in order to survive, according to a major review of the 150-year old organisation. |

39,441,826 | The case has been brought by German make-up and perfume brand Coty.
It wants to stop one of its retailers from selling its goods on online marketplaces such as Amazon.
Owners of luxury brands argue that they should have the right to choose who distributes their products, to protect their image and exclusivity.
The dispute is in the spotlight now because the European Commission is pushing for more cross-border online sales to boost growth and jobs and catch up with the US and Asia.
Among other questions, the court will consider whether protection of a luxury image is a legitimate reason for a selective distribution system.
The case originally went to a court in Germany, but, later, guidance was sought by the European Court of Justice.
The ruling could have a significant impact on the future relationship between brands and resellers and impose widespread bans on the sale of luxury goods on Amazon Marketplace and eBay.
As well as fighting to control their distribution channels, luxury brands are also battling to control the amount of counterfeit goods online.
Matt Jones, a solicitor at law firm EIP said the ruling would provide clarity on where luxury goods can be sold.
"Luxury brands do not want their stuff sold on platforms that also sell fake goods and cheap alternatives," he told the BBC. | One of Europe's top courts is due to open a landmark case that could determine whether luxury goods companies can ban online sales. |
38,070,946 | The Care Inspectorate raised serious concerns about the Craigard home, near Rothesay, on Bute, in September.
The watchdog issued an improvement notice but later said standards of care were still "unacceptable".
It has now had the care home's registration suspended. The order, which was granted at Greenock Sheriff Court, comes into effect on 9 December.
A spokesman for the Care Inspectorate said: "Our most recent inspection identified significant weaknesses in the way people are cared for at this care home which, despite support, have not improved.
"Our assessment is that the home is failing to provide even a satisfactory or safe level of care.
"That is why we sought the urgent closure of Craigard care home, at Greenock Sheriff Court on Monday."
The spokesman said it was "extremely rare" for the inspectorate to take this sort of action.
He added: "The sheriff made an order suspending the care home's registration, to take effect from 9 December. We strongly welcome that.
"This means the home cannot continue to operate after 9 December, which will help keep people safe where they would otherwise have been at significant risk.
"We continue to work closely with colleagues at Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership to ensure that residents' needs are met and that appropriate plans are in place to ensure continuity of care for all residents of Craigard ahead of 9 December." | An elderly care home which inspectors said was putting residents at risk has been told to close within weeks. |
26,951,453 | David Hughes, a governor at Park View School, defended it against what he said were "unfounded attacks".
The Department for Education (DfE) is investigating 12 schools over the alleged plot.
Ten MPs have asked for the council and DfE to jointly review any lessons to be learned following the investigation.
In a letter to Education Secretary Michael Gove the Birmingham MPs said it was "essential" such a review was undertaken, led by an advisor appointed by the two organisations.
A so-called "Operation Trojan Horse" letter claimed responsibility for leadership changes at four Birmingham schools, but its authenticity has not been established.
Mr Hughes, who describes himself as a "white, practising Anglican Christian", has been a governor at the Alum Rock school for more than 15 years.
"In all my time as a governor we have not received a single complaint about 'extremism' or 'radicalism'.
"If we had we would have investigated it openly and thoroughly," he said.
Ofsted has confirmed it is carrying out a number of snap inspections at Birmingham schools, including Park View, at the request of the DfE.
Mr Hughes said he suspected the school would receive a negative Ofsted report, despite previously being rated as "outstanding".
"The revisit of the inspection team gave every indication of having no wish other than to condemn the school - even the outstanding features," he said.
"Are there areas to improve at the school? Yes of course, as there are at most schools."
An Ofsted spokeswoman declined to comment on the remarks.
Last week Michael White, a former teacher at Park View School, said he was dismissed in 2003 after raising concerns about extremism among governors.
But Mr Hughes dismissed the claims, saying "at no time" during a disciplinary panel had Mr White raised concerns.
He said some former staff members were "smearing" the school and "sharing fictitious allegations".
The allegations were "socially divisive and dangerous for a settled, stable, multi-cultural Birmingham," he said.
Birmingham City Council has said it is continuing to investigate the allegations and cannot comment further. | A governor at a Birmingham school alleged to be the target of an "Islamic takeover plot" has described the claims as a "witch hunt". |

33,668,230 | The session is to take place in Brussels on Tuesday.
Turkey launched air attacks against IS militants in Syria and resumed air raids against PKK camps in northern Iraq following recent attacks.
In one attack blamed on IS, 32 people were killed in a suicide bombing near the Syrian border on 20 July.
The PKK killed Turkish police in the wake of the bombing in retaliation for what they saw as Turkey's collaboration with IS.
The raids against Kurdish separatist camps in northern Iraq in effect ended a two-year ceasefire. Turkish fighter jets launched a new wave on Sunday against PKK targets in northern Iraq, according to Turkish state media.
A PKK spokesman told the AFP news agency that Turkish jets had bombed two positions north of Dohuk and north of Irbil.
Late on Saturday a car bomb attack on a military convoy in south-eastern Turkey killed two soldiers and injured four others, Turkish officials said.
A policeman was killed on Sunday in Istanbul when protests erupted in response to the death of a female activist during raids by security forces on Friday.
Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told BBC World TV the Turkish request was based on Article 4 of the Nato Treaty which allows members to request such a meeting if their territorial integrity or security is threatened.
"When Turkey requests for such a meeting I think it's very right and very timely to have a meeting where we address the turmoil and the instability we see in Syria, Iraq and surrounding and close to Nato borders of Turkey."
He said he had spoken to Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu two days ago, expressing condolences for the loss of life and giving backing to Turkey's actions against the Islamic State group, also known as ISIL.
"I... also commended him and Turkey for stepping up their efforts to fight ISIL and to fight terrorism and to also increase control over their borders and to stem the flow of foreign fighters. "
The US has called on both Turkey and the PKK to avoid violence, but said Turkey had the right to defend itself against attacks by Kurdish rebels.
Brett McGurk, the deputy special presidential envoy for the coalition to counter IS said on Twitter: "We urge de-escalation and that both sides remain committed to the peaceful 'solution process' for a just and sustainable peace."
He added: "There is no connection between these airstrikes against PKK and recent understandings to intensify US-Turkey cooperation against ISIL."
The BBC's Mark Lowen in Istanbul says the fear is growing there that the bad old days of Turkey's Kurdish conflict might return.
He says that if Turkey becomes embroiled in its own civil conflict, that will seriously complicate its role in the coalition and potentially hamper the West's strategy against the jihadists.
This is a critical moment in the fight against Islamic State and in the stability of Turkey itself, he adds.

37,162,683 | Catesby Estates has been granted permission to build 400 homes near Kedleston Hall following a public inquiry in July.
The original plans were rejected last year. In response, the developer submitted proposals for 200 homes.
The National Trust, which runs the hall, was among opponents of the plans.
Updates on this story and more from Derbyshire
Inspector John Gray concluded any harm to the 18th Century mansion would be very limited.
While he acknowledged the hall was a "heritage asset of the greatest importance", he called the plans sustainable and said the 120 affordable homes within the 400 would be of "great public benefit".
Campaigner Isobel Shorrock, from campaign group Kedleston Voice, objected to the plans along with Amber Valley Borough Council.
"In the face of all that, for one man to come along and completely overturn it and not even go for a compromise is not democratic," she said.
"I am furious and I am upset. This isn't a Nimby thing. Kedleston Hall is a national heritage asset and the National Trust and Historic England advised that this should not go ahead... and in the face of all that it has still meant nothing."
Council deputy leader Trevor Ainsworth said the authority will have to get legal advice on whether to seek a judicial review over the inspector's decision.
Catesby Estates said it was not in a position to comment on the decision. | Hundreds of homes could be built near a Grade I listed estate in Derbyshire after a planning inspector overturned a council's decision to block the scheme. |
33,502,104 | Chris Rushworth (4-39) picked up three quick wickets, including two in two balls, to leave the visitors on 12-3.
Sam Hain (57) and Tim Ambrose (41) shared a stand of 98 to take Warwickshire to 138-4 but both fell in consecutive overs after tea.
Rushworth removed Rikki Clarke before bad light brought an early close with the Bears on 167-7, trailing by 147.
With the start delayed by an hour, a couple of rain interruptions and play being called off at 17:40 BST, just 43.3 overs were bowled in total.
When play got under way, Rushworth utilised the muggy, overcast conditions straight away by trapping visiting captain Varun Chopra lbw with the second ball of the day.
In his next over, the paceman found himself on a hat-trick when he removed Jonathon Webb and Laurie Evans, both leg before, but Hain survived the next ball by clipping it away to the boundary.
After further rain delays, Ian Westwood became the fourth lbw victim of the innings as he was dismissed by John Hastings, before Hain and Ambrose forged their fine recovery.
However, their good work was undone in the space of four balls when Hain was snaffled at short leg by Keaton Jennings off Hastings and Ambrose was out lbw to Durham skipper Paul Collingwood.
Clarke became the sixth leg-before victim of the innings just before the light closed in to give Rushworth his 51st wicket of the season.
Chris Woakes, making his first appearance of the season for Warwickshire after a knee operation, will resume day three on 12 not out.
Durham bowler Chris Rushworth:
"I feel I know my game inside out now and I've improved year on year.
"I've tried to hit the stumps a bit more this season rather than swing the ball away and it helps with the lbws."
Warwickshire all-rounder Chris Woakes:
"It's been frustrating but the knee feels fine and I was happy with the way I bowled on the first day.
"I scored 90 for the second team last week, so now I need to get some runs here." | Warwickshire's batsmen struggled in tough conditions on a rain-hit day two against Durham at Chester-le-Street. |
36,303,001 | But having an economist mother as a role model helped me to grow up largely protected from sexism in Brazilian society.
I encountered it only later in life, through a few professional experiences and, most of all, through statistics.
The announcement of interim President Michel Temer's cabinet and its 23 white men rings alarm bells in the battle for equality.
It is the first time in nearly four decades that we have a male-only cabinet. The last time was during the military dictatorship.
After strong criticism, there is talk the culture ministry, one of the nine closed in an attempt to cut expenditure, will be brought back.
Reports say Mr Temer is adamant it should be led by a woman. Interestingly, the former ministry will have a lower status, a secretariat. There is no word in Portuguese yet for tokenism.
This absence of women goes beyond their already appallingly low representation in politics.
Among the 81 members of the Senate, only 12 are female. One of them was referred to on Twitter as the "coffee lady" by a famous TV presenter.
The senator, Regina Sousa, from the Worker's Party, is also one of the few black legislators.
The main "employer" of women in Brazil is still domestic service. And most domestic workers are not just women but black. This explains why the comment revolted many. But not all.
Lack of diversity is not a popular subject to bring up in Brazil, a country where the "Party of the Brazilian Women" has only one elected MP - a man.
Debates often become polarised.
"Do you want a quota for government jobs now?" said a male reader on our Facebook page, commenting on a piece entitled "All the president's men (and no women)".
"In politics or in any company, people need to be there for their competence not idiotic sexism, silliness from the left," he said.
Others though criticised the new cabinet.
"This is what you would expect from a president whose wife is 'beautiful, demure and at home'," said one journalist, referring a controversial profile of Brazil's new first lady in the country's most influential magazine.
"She is a lucky woman," was the opening line.
Luck for Marcela Temer apparently came when she met her future husband. She was only 18 and he over 60 when her uncle introduced them at a party conference.
Critics denounced a perceived double standard from the press in the portrayal of another woman.
Also in April, when Congress handed President Dilma Rousseff a crucial defeat, another controversy about gender emerged. She was portrayed on the cover of a magazine as a woman with a nervous breakdown.
Using an archive photo that looked like she was screaming, the president was described as having kicked things, abused staff and being too "emotionally unstable" to run the country.
"What a typical way to undermine women," said a prominent feminist, pointing out the description was a surprising contrast to how Ms Rousseff, a former guerrilla who endured torture, insisted she would fight until the end.
It is hard to argue that there is no sexism in the attacks against Ms Rousseff.
But reducing the huge dissatisfaction in her to sexism ignores the fact that the same woman had been one of the most popular presidents Brazil has ever had in democratic times.
Her management of the economy, and the worst recession since records began, as well as the corruption scandal involving her party are at the heart of her downfall.
"It [sexism] is not the reason, but it certainly made her more of a target," says my elder sister.
I am the third child and my father did not cry when I was born. He was the product of a family of Syrian migrants and used to say they saw women as cattle.
"But when we have a problem, we just deal with it," he told me once jokingly.
He was also an electronic engineer who introduced me to the world of cables. I was proud to be able to install phone extensions from an early age.
At 22, in my first month as an economics reporter for a Brazilian newspaper, I was shocked when an older journalist whispered in my ear, "I'm going to eat you all up", before calmly returning to his desk.
I froze for a few seconds until a sense of deep humiliation turned to anger.
I stormed after him and, in front of a full newsroom, asked him loudly to repeat what he had just said. "Calm down," he repeated in a patronising tone, clearly not expecting that reaction from a young journalist who had been nicknamed Pocahontas by male colleagues.
"You are a disgusting coward," I shouted, along with a number of other things. Then, still fuming, I returned to my desk to finish a story on unemployment.
My parents taught me to fight back and I was never bothered in that newsroom again. I am a lucky woman. | My father cried with sadness when he found out his first child was a girl. |
36,338,066 | World number one Van Gerwen clinched the £200,000 first prize with an 11-3 victory in the final.
The Dutchman, 27, had eased past Adrian Lewis 10-4 to reach the final, while Taylor defeated defending champion Gary Anderson 10-7 in his last-four tie.
Van Gerwen's previous Premier League title came in 2013, when he also beat Englishman Taylor, 55, in the final.
A second success rarely looked in doubt once Van Gerwen had raced into a 6-2 lead in the best-of-21-legs contest.
Taylor, a six-times Premier League champion, struggled to find his best form in the final and, having taken a 2-1 lead, lost 10 of the next 11 legs.
Van Gerwen told Sky Sports: "This feels fantastic for me, I'm over the moon to win this title. It's unbelievable.
"I'm playing stronger in this tournament every year, I've been top of the table four years in a row and I'm really glad I can hold this trophy now for the second time."
Taylor, a 16-times world champion, added: "I'm very proud to get through to the final. He beat me up, he put me under pressure, he's doing phenomenal things.
"I honestly don't know how he does it. His scoring is good, but his finishing is phenomenal and that's where it hurts you." | Michael van Gerwen beat Phil Taylor at the 02 Arena in London to win his second Premier League title. |
40,431,606 | Rory McWhirter fraudulently claimed £34,380 after collecting identity details from people he had deceived into applying for fake jobs.
He was jailed for 28 months in March and prosecutors lodged a Proceeds of Crime Act action to recoup the money.
Dundee Sheriff Court was told McWhirter had no assets of his own.
The court was told previously that the 29-year-old from Edinburgh earned £80,000 per year.
Depute fiscal Joanne Smith told the court that an agreement had been reached with defence lawyers for an order to be made for £1.
McWhirter will be liable in the future for the full amount if he returns to work after his release from prison.
Sheriff George Way said: "This is quite a complicated fraud.
"He is saying in his answers that the only asset is the family home that is in his partner's name."
McWhirter previously admitted using the details from the fake job applications to obtain marriage certificates before using them to register the fake births.
He then used the birth certificates to claim benefits.
McWhirter was caught after returning to the registrar's office in Aberdeen, the scene of one of his early false birth registrations, where he was recognised by staff. | A man who registered the births of 26 non-existent babies as part of a benefit fraud scheme has been ordered to pay back £1 of the stolen money. |
