39,698,465 | While accepting the UK was leaving, Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer said Labour would press for a different deal prioritising jobs and work rights.
It would also seek an early deal on transitional arrangements to smooth the way for the UK's departure in 2019.
The Conservatives said only they had a clear plan for exiting the EU.
Ahead of a campaign visit to Wales on Tuesday. Theresa May said the Brexit vote should have been a "wake-up call for a generation of politicians who have taken the people for granted for too long" but instead other parties had "closed ranks".
Labour, most of whose MPs backed a Remain vote in last year's referendum, is in a fight to hold onto seats in Leave-voting constituencies on 8 June.
The Conservatives are hoping to take seats from Labour in areas which voted to leave the EU, including the Midlands, the north-east and north-west of England and across Wales, with a message that it is implementing the will of the people expressed in last year's vote.
Labour has been criticised by, among others, former prime minister Tony Blair, for what he says is a lack of clarity in its approach to Brexit.
Unlike the Lib Dems, it has ruled out a second referendum, but suggested Parliament could stop a so-called "hard Brexit".
In Labour's first major policy statement on the issue of the election campaign, the party is signalling that it would take a different approach to the two-year process of negotiating the EU's exit - expected to start in earnest in June.
It would scrap Theresa May's Brexit plan - outlined in a White Paper in February - which envisages leaving the single market and customs union.
Instead, it will focus on delivering a deal which "retains the benefits" of single market and customs union membership.
On immigration, a Labour government would on its first day in office guarantee the legal status of the three million EU nationals living in the UK to correct what it says is a "shameful injustice".
It would then press for reciprocal guarantees for the 1.2 million Britons living on the continent.
In a further break from the government's policy, Labour says leaving the EU without a deal would not be a "viable option" - although it is not clear whether its promise of a "truly meaningful" vote in Parliament on the final deal would amount to a potential veto.
In addition, it would replace the government's proposed Great Repeal Bill - which would scrap the 1972 European Communities Act and transpose the myriad of existing EU law applying to the UK into domestic law - with an EU Rights and Protections Bill.
It insists there can be no "rolling back" of workplace protections, environmental standards and consumer rights acquired through EU membership and the Bill will not include any measures to limit the lifespan of laws or directives, such as sunset clauses.
"This will make sure that all EU-derived laws are fully protected without qualifications or limitations," Sir Keir Starmer will say.
"A Labour government will never consider these rights a burden."
Labour would negotiate with the remaining 27 EU members in the interests "of the many, not the few", he will claim.
"We will approach negotiations in a completely different way to a Tory Brexit.
"We will scrap the government's Brexit White Paper and replace it with fresh negotiating priorities that reflect Labour values.
"The White Paper will have a strong emphasis on retaining the benefits of the single market and customs union, as Labour knows that is vital to protecting jobs and the economy."
Labour has previously set out six tests for a successful Brexit - including maintaining a strong, collaborative relationship with the EU, protecting security co-operation, delivering for the whole of the UK and introducing a fair immigration system.
In response, the Conservatives said Jeremy Corbyn was a "weak leader of a divided party who could not get the right deal for the UK".
"We have a clear plan for the Brexit negotiations, and every vote for Theresa May will strengthen her hand in those negotiations to get a good deal for the UK," said MP and former minister Dominic Raab.
"Only Theresa May and the Conservatives can provide the strong and stable leadership the United Kingdom needs to see us through Brexit and beyond."
In a fresh intervention on Tuesday, Mr Blair said the Conservatives' position on Brexit must be "turned against them".
Writing in the Guardian, he warned Mr Corbyn "this is not the time to fight a conventional partisan election". | Labour say they would scrap Theresa May's Brexit plans and unilaterally guarantee the rights of EU residents before talks start, if they win power. |
34,669,045 | The five biggest parties have been in negotiations for almost six weeks about the budget, welfare reform as well as past and present paramilitary activity.
"We are coming to the vital stage, the endgame," said the DUP leader.
"It is my view that if we cannot reach agreement then the process itself will be terminated."
Mr Robinson said there was a "very significant responsibility on all those who are in leadership in Northern Ireland".
On Wednesday, Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness of Sinn Féin said he believed a deal was "achievable", within a timeframe of "days, not weeks".
His colleague, North Belfast MLA Gerry Kelly, said on Thursday that his party had concerns about the government's plans on dealing with the past.
"The British and Irish governments agreed at Stormont House on the need to provide justice and truth recovery mechanisms that would give disclosure to families of victims of the conflict," he added.
"The British government's legislation on dealing with the legacy of the past is in clear breach of that agreement."
Mr Kelly said Sinn Féin would not sign up to the proposed legislation "as it stands".
"Victims across the board deserve the truth and they deserve full disclosure," he added.
Earlier, Mr Robinson said there was a range of outstanding issues that were not yet resolved.
"I don't see any of them as being insurmountable, if there is goodwill on the part of the parties," he said.
"I believe it is possible for us to get a deal, but it does require leadership, it does require commitment and it does require all of the parties to stretch themselves."
The DUP leader described his critics as "the whingers, the wreckers, the political snipers who hope for failure" for their own benefit.
"It will not benefit anybody if in aggrandising themselves, they destroy our process here in Northern Ireland," he said.
"I look to all of those who genuinely want to get a way forward to ensure the next few days are meaningful in this talks process and that we try and close issues."
UUP leader Mike Nesbitt said criticism of his party by Mr Robinson and Mr McGuinness showed that its "firm and principled stand is irritating the two biggest parties who are clearly busting to do a side-deal at Stormont Castle".
Mr Nesbitt said his party would remain in the talks, "but we will not support handing out the begging bowl to London again".
He said the UUP would focus on the "greater good," adding: "We will stick in and do what is right for the people of Northern Ireland."
Secretary of State Theresa Villiers said she was "encouraged that the parties are continuing to engage intensively, but difficult issues remain".
"It is essential a successful conclusion is reached very soon - next week could be crucial to the success or failure of this process." she said. | Northern Ireland's parties need to reach a deal in the next 10 days or "there will be no agreement", First Minister Peter Robinson has said. |
33,333,904 | A meeting of Fifa Congress, due to be held in December, will select a new president after incumbent Sepp Blatter called for "profound restructuring".
"Quite frankly we need some new names and new thinking," said Scudamore.
"The thing has to change. Everybody's been saying it for some time. Clearly this a seismic shift in the dynamic."
United States and Swiss prosecutors are separately investigating alleged corruption at world football's governing body. Seven Fifa officials were arrested in Switzerland in May and a further seven people indicted.
Blatter, 79, appeared to stand down from his post on 2 June when he said he would "lay down my mandate" but has since stated he "did not resign" and is believed to be considering standing for re-election.
Scudamore, however, wants to see new blood given a chance.
"In some ways it almost needs a corporate, proper businessperson, as opposed to a football politician," he told BBC Sport's Richard Conway. "The problem with football politicians is, it's all about votes. We need someone who can transcend that and is a more unifying candidate.
"It's right that the game is run on a one country, one vote basis, I don't think there's one country that's bigger than any other, despite anybody's history. Therefore you need a unifying candidate that somehow transcends the past."
Scudamore says he has no plans to run himself to succeed Blatter - and does not believe any English candidate would be right for the role.
"The idea that anybody from England would be suitable for a world-unifying candidate would be very difficult. It's one of the reasons we don't do so well when we bid for World Cups," he said.
"England is seen to have had its day in terms of running world football and probably it needs someone from one of the emerging nations, shall we say, or at least somebody who is independent of what's gone on in the past."
Scudamore was speaking on the day the Premier League published its review of the 2014-15 season, a document that outlines prize payments to clubs, fan demographics, player statistics and grass roots initiatives.
The Premier League review revealed:
Prize money is awarded using a system dating to the formation of the league in 1992, which last season resulted in a ratio of 1.53:1 between the club finishing top and the club finishing bottom.
"It's essential, which is why Burnley could come up last season and they could beat Manchester City, draw with Manchester City, draw at Chelsea. That's because they've got enough income to compete," said Scudamore.
"Every time they take the field against any team, no matter whether it's the top of the league or whatever, they can compete in that individual match, and that I think stands us out from any every other league.
"The more income everybody has.... it narrows the competitive gap."
"Occupancy is clearly an important measure, attendance is an important measure. After making sure we have the best players we can on the field, the number one strategic priority is to make sure the stadia are full," said the chief executive.
"Clubs have to work very hard to make sure the stadiums remain full. These are important things must the clubs to strive at, to keep ever increasing those numbers."
Celtic have been granted permission to introduce a safe standing area and could become the first top-flight club in Scotland to do so.
Scudamore said: "It's very hard while the whole Hillsborough issue is still very raw and such an emotive issue, the idea that we're contemplating opening even that small risk I just think is very difficult.
"In many ways it's almost like: 'not on my watch'. Having spent all of my professional working career in football with the shadow of Hillsborough around me, it's just very hard.
"It might seem Luddite, it might seem old-fashioned, but I just find it very hard personally, as the administrator, to even expose myself to the risk of something that is not as safe as what we've got now."
"It's great, and it's why all the investment in the Elite Player Performance Plan has been so essential," said Scudamore.
"Fifty-four home-grown players, I think 44 that played in the Under-21 league, so all the numbers are going in the right direction.
"There is English talent coming through and they're coming through in ever-increasing numbers. They are technically gifted, physically gifted and also I think, from a holistic education point of view, there's an intelligent group of young players coming through that are more rounded a better-prepared than they've ever been."
"It's absolutely fantastic," added Scudamore.
"All the clubs have been investing and making big strides in the past couple of years and obviously we're obviously involved at the grass roots and lower levels.
"The whole thing is growing, from the bottom of the base and up through the academy system, and any success at the top level is great." | Fifa's next leader should be someone with a corporate background who "transcends the past", Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore says. |
35,560,822 | The North West Ambulance Service said two children were "critically" injured in the 15:20 GMT crash in Belvidere Road.
The driver of the Peugeot car, a woman in her 80s, was also injured and treated at the scene.
Seven of the girls were taken to hospital by ambulance, with one attending voluntarily.
Read the latest updates on this story and more from across Merseyside.
Consultant paramedic Mike Jackson, who was first on the scene, said in addition to the two "critical" injuries, a further three of the girls were likely to have fractured limbs or head injuries.
He described the remaining three victims as "walking wounded".
Belvedere Academy, a nearby girls school, posted a statement on its website which said: "Unfortunately there has been a road traffic accident outside the academy.
"School bus service will be significantly delayed. Please make arrangements to collect your daughter as soon as possible."
Several roads in the area have been closed, including Belvidere Road, the junction at Devonshire Road and Admiral Street and the junction between Princess Gate and South Street. | Eight girls aged between 11 and 17 have been injured in a collision with a car near a Liverpool school. |
40,949,966 | Her England colleagues Tammy Beaumont (36) and Natalie Sciver (40 not out) helped Surrey to 133-6 after they had chosen to bat first.
Taylor and Eve Jones (26) gave Thunder a good start to their reply.
But they were all out for 100, with Rene Farrell (5-26) recording the second-best bowling figures in the WSL.
The Australian dismissed Taylor and Eleanor Threlkeld in a pivotal 14th over to set up victory, which maintained Surrey's 100% start to the competition, while Lancashire have lost both of their group matches to date.
Wicketkeeper-batter Taylor did not play in the 2016 tournament as she was taking a break from cricket while trying to overcome anxiety problems, and missed Thunder's defeat by Yorkshire at Headingley on Friday as she was attending a family wedding. | England's Sarah Taylor scored 34 on her Women's Super League debut but her Lancashire Thunder team lost to Surrey Stars by 33 runs at Old Trafford. |
32,181,936 | The Slovenia-born 25-year-old beat France's Maxime Chazal 6-3 6-2 in the first round of qualifying for the clay-court Casablanca Open in Morocco.
Bedene, who moved to the UK seven years ago, attended a citizenship ceremony last Tuesday.
He is ranked 83rd in the world, ahead of James Ward in 111th place.
On seeing 'GBR' next to his name in the Casablanca schedule, he wrote on Twitter: "It's taken a while to get to this but it's awesome to see."
After the victory over Chazal, he added: "Happy to get the first match out of the way. Was solid to be fair and more to come which is always good. Looking forward to the next one.
"Thanks for all the support and love guys, I feel really lucky."
Bedene reached his first ATP final in India at the start of the year, beating top-20 players Roberto Bautista Agut and Feliciano Lopez along the way.
He hopes to play for the Great Britain Davis Cup team, although he has already represented Slovenia and current rules prohibit a player appearing for two nations.
"He's a good player with a very good serve," Murray said in Miami last week.
"He's a legitimate top-100 player. When he plays challengers he's there or thereabouts; when he plays on the main tour he wins matches. It's not like he turns up and always loses in the first round.
"I would imagine he's going to be comfortably in the top 70 or 80 in the world for a while."
Bedene is the top seed in Casablanca qualifying and will play Austria's Michael Linzer or Frenchman Maxime Texeira in the second round. | Aljaz Bedene has won his first match since becoming a UK citizen and taking up the position of British number two behind Andy Murray. |
34,185,559 | Catholicism does not recognise divorce and teaches marriage is a lifelong commitment.
In order to separate, Catholics must have their marriage annulled by showing it was flawed from the outset.
The radical reforms allow access to procedures free of charge and fast-track decisions.
Until now the procedures have been seen as arcane, expensive and bureaucratic.
Catholics seeking an annulment previously needed approval from two Church tribunals. The reforms will reduce this to one and remove the requirement of automatic appeal. An appeal will still be possible if one of the parties requests it.
The new fast-track procedure will allow bishops to grant annulments directly if both spouses request it.
Because annulment procedures are complicated, couples normally require experts to guide them through, meaning that gaining one can be expensive.
Without an annulment, Catholics who divorce and marry again are considered adulterers and are not allowed to receive communion.
Last year, the Pope set up a commission of church lawyers and clerical experts to look at how to streamline the procedure.
Writing about the changes, Pope Francis said it was unfair that spouses should be "long oppressed by darkness of doubt" over whether their marriages could be annulled.
It was a pope's refusal to grant King Henry VIII an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon in the 16th Century that led to England's break with Rome and the creation of the Church of England, with the monarch as defender of the new Church.
In the intervening centuries, the process of obtaining an annulment for ordinary Catholics has remained a lengthy and costly one.
The move by Pope Francis to simplify and streamline the process has come to fruition unusually quickly for the Vatican.
It's only a year since he set up a commission of Church lawyers to look at reforms to the process.
While they're not expected to change Catholic teaching on divorce, they are likely to make it easier for estranged couples to prove that their marriage was invalid from the beginning. | Pope Francis has unveiled reforms intended to make it easier for Roman Catholics to get annulments and remarry within the Church. |
35,687,169 | Fusion Festival has teamed up with Capital Liverpool radio station and wants to host the event at Otterspool Promenade in September.
The festival, now in its fourth year, boasted performances from Ed Sheeran, Rudimental and The Vamps in 2015.
The line-up and ticket information for the event on 3 and 4 September will be announced in April.
A Birmingham City Council spokesman said they had no comment as the festival is not a council-organised event.
The move follows Liverpool being declared a Unesco City of Music in recognition of its musical heritage.
Claire McColgan, Liverpool's culture director, said: "We're delighted that Fusion Festival is heading to Liverpool.
"It's a real coup that this city is going to host yet another major music event this year which will bring with it a creative and economic boost to the area."
Damien Sanders, event director of Fusion Festival, said: 'We are so excited to finally announce that Fusion is coming to Liverpool.
"Liverpool is such a vibrant, fun city that we can't wait to become part of its musical fabric."
The decision by Fusion to move the festival from Birmingham to Merseyside is a blow for festival fans in the West Midlands.
The area also lost Wireless Festival in 2015.
The proposed location of the festival at Otterspool Promenade is subject to a licence being granted. | A music festival that has attracted more than 50,000 fans is moving from Birmingham to Liverpool. |
17,785,335 | The decision came after four team mechanics narrowly avoided being hit by petrol bombs during a clash between protesters and police on Wednesday.
Team boss Bob Fernley said: "We have to ensure the crew are comfortable."
"It would have been wrong not to go ahead with the race because it would mean in the future when there is any unrest, you would have to do the same thing. I was here in the dark, my sons went to various villages because they wanted to see what was going on, my wife was out shopping. There is so much unrest in other parts of the Middle East, far beyond anything you're seeing here."
In a separate incident on Thursday, Sauber became the second team involved in a roadside incident.
A bus containing 12 of their mechanics took to the hard shoulder after encountering a burning bottle in the road and seeing masked men running towards their lane.
Sauber confirmed that nobody from the team was hurt and they did not regard it as an attack on their vehicle.
F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone said he had offered Force India a police escort from the track following their incident on Wednesday.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Ecclestone said: "I said if they were the slightest bit concerned, whatever time they would normally leave the circuit, I will be here and travel in their vehicle back to the hotel, without any escort or police.
"If they want an escort, they can have police, I am happy to travel without. I don't think they have any need to be concerned."
Ecclestone and the Bahrain Grand Prix organisers have worked hard to present the Gulf state as safe.
The incident on Wednesday came as the Force India team members were returning from the track to their hotel at about 2000 local time on the main highway from the track to the capital, Manama.
Ecclestone said he did not want to comment on the incident because he was not there.
He insisted it was "absolutely 100%" the right decision to go to Bahrain, pointing to recent riots in Spain and crime in Brazil as examples that other countries had problems.
Asked if he felt Bahrain were blurring the boundaries between sport and politics by using a "UniF1ed" slogan to promote the grand prix, Ecclestone said it was "not for us to decide how somebody wants to use the race. We're not here to give an opinion on how this country should be run - or any other country".
Fernley told BBC Sport Force India fully supported the Bahrain Grand Prix but safety was paramount.
He said: "We are doing the best we can to make sure the crew is safe. There will be protests, it was an unfortunate incident and when it happens to your team you have to deal with it in a proper manner."
Asked how he felt about the teams being told Bahrain was safe, Fernley said: "We all know there is a very slight risk with coming here."
Not all the teams are staying in central Manama - McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes are all in a resort complex about two miles (3km) from the track. | Force India chose not to run their cars in the second practice session at the Bahrain Grand Prix so they could return to their hotel before dark. |

27,289,398 | It is unclear how many people were involved in the attack, but one person was shot and then detained by police.
There is no information yet on the motivation for this attack, but it comes a week after an attack at a station in Urumqi, in the western region in Xinjiang.
It also follows an attack at Kunming station in March that killed 29 people.
Chinese authorities have blamed both these attacks on separatists from the Uighur minority group, which lives in Xinjiang.
Local media carried conflicting accounts on the number of people involved in Tuesday's attack, with some reporting four attackers, while others said there were two young men, one of whom managed to get away.
It was also unclear how the incident started. Guangzhou Daily quoted a store owner who said the suspects had waited by his shop for about two hours before they launched their attack.
But several eyewitnesses told Guangzhou Journal that the attack began shortly after a train from Kunming arrived at the station. They said that among the disembarking passengers was a group of young men clad in white clothes and wearing white caps, holding large knives.
China News spoke to a woman from Inner Mongolia who was among those attacked.
Ms Liu Yuying had just arrived at Guangzhou railway station and was taking pictures in the plaza outside when two men rushed towards them wielding knives. She injured her leg when she fell while trying to flee.
Two other people from her tour group, believed to be brother and sister, were slashed, she said.
In a statement on the public security bureau's official microblog, police said they arrived at the station at 11:30 on Tuesday.
They shot a male suspect armed with a knife after he failed to heed warnings, they said.
The six injured people had been taken to hospital for further treatment, they said, and further investigations were underway.
This is the third attack on a public transport hub in China in three months. Officials say Uighur extremists from the Xinjiang region carried out the attacks in Urumqi and Kunming.
Xinjiang has seen a long history of discord between Chinese authorities and the minority Uighurs, including bloody ethnic riots in 2009 that left about 200 people dead.
The Uighurs, who are ethnically Turkic Muslims, say that large-scale Han Chinese immigration has eroded their traditional culture. Beijing, meanwhile, says it has invested heavily in the region to improve people's lives. | At least six people have been injured in a knife attack at a station in Guangzhou, Chinese officials say. |
36,551,127 | The job cuts are the latest to hit the workforce in Motherwell, which has more than halved since a peak of 630 employees in 2009/10.
Management at Terex Trucks blamed market conditions and a downturn in global demand.
The company produces articulated and rigid trucks which serve industries such as construction and mining.
In the latest round of cuts, subject to a statutory consultation period, 55 jobs on the shop floor will go, along with 10 administrative positions, leaving a staff of 300.
The firm started producing trucks in Motherwell in 1950 and was acquired by Volvo in 2014.
GMB Scotland organiser Alan Ritchie said: "These latest cuts mean more manufacturing misery for Lanarkshire and the Scottish economy, coming less than 24 hours after grim growth forecasts and the threat of a Scottish recession.
"Generations of Terex workers have delivered decades of world-class manufacturing here in Motherwell but, as we've seen at the likes of Tannoy in Coatbridge, a proud history counts for absolutely nothing.
"Let's be clear that Scottish manufacturing is in total freefall and our slide towards a low-skill, low-wage economy gathers apace without any meaningful intervention from the Scottish or UK governments." | A dumper truck manufacturer has announced a further 65 redundancies at its North Lanarkshire base. |

37,328,449 | Cox, who took T38 100m athletics bronze on Friday, won the C4-5 time trial as Dame Sarah Storey finished fourth.
Her success came shortly after GB's Hannah Cockroft retained her T34 100m title and 15-year-old team-mate Kare Adenegan took silver.
Britain have won 35 medals in Rio, including 15 golds.
Cox told Channel 4: "I can't believe it. I'm over the moon. I have only been doing it a year and a half and being on top of the world is amazing."
Earlier, Andy Lewis won GB's first gold of the day with victory in the PT2 Para-triathlon.
Sabrina Fortune claimed women's F20 shot put bronze, while swimmer Alice Tai took bronze in the women's S10 100m backstroke.
Toby Gold won silver and compatriot Andy Small bronze in the men's T33 100m as Britain secured eight medals on the third day.
Isabel Barr was the last Briton to win a Paralympic medal in two sports at the same event with medals in the shooting and athletics at Seoul 1988.
Cox was only 16 months old when Storey won her first Paralympic medal at the 1992 Games in Barcelona, where she competed as a swimmer.
Cox had a stroke aged 23, which led to her being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Storey, a 12-time gold medallist who won the C4-5 time trial at London 2012, completed the 500m race in 37.068 seconds to take the lead.
However, Cox triumphed in 34.598 seconds, with China's Zhou Jufang taking silver in 36.004 and compatriot Ruan Jianping bronze in 36.557.
Cox said: "I have worked so hard, my legs were tired and I was mentally exhausted from yesterday."
Storey said: "I'm a pursuiter - it should be a sprinter winning it.
"Fourth is the worst place to be, but even if I'd gone as quick as I did in London I'd still have been fourth."
BBC Sport's Elizabeth Hudson in Rio
"This was always the race which would be the toughest part of Dame Sarah Storey's Rio programme.
"Most of her training is focused on road racing so going from that to the minimum distance was always going to be a challenge.
"Kadeena Cox was favourite for gold and she delivered in style with a new world record to follow her athletics bronze on Friday night."
Adenegan, 15, is the youngest athlete in the Great Britain team and is the only racer to have beaten Cockroft during her four-year dominance in the T34 category.
The pair were almost level for the first 40m on Saturday, before Cockroft powered through to finish in 17.42 seconds, a Paralympic record.
Adenegan, who took up the sport after watching the London Paralympics, finished in a personal best 18.29 seconds.
"The 100m is my favourite event, my strongest. I'm a little upset with the time," Cockroft told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I was going for the world record all season. I was a tenth of a second away from it. But I came for the gold, and I've got the gold."
Fortune, 19, earlier threw a career-best 12.94m to take bronze in the women's F20 shot put.
"I came here for a personal best - I didn't think I'd get a medal as well," she said.
Richard Whitehead, 40, set a Paralympic record of 23.07 seconds to qualify for Sunday's T42 200m final.
Graeme Ballard was fifth in the T36 100m final, with Mohamad Ridzuan Mohamad Puzi of Malaysia winning gold in 12.07 seconds, after Ukrainian favourite Roman Palvyk was disqualified for a false start.
Earlier, Lewis secured PT2 gold as triathlon made its Paralympics debut.
The 33-year-old, who had his right leg amputated aged 22, finished in one hour 11 minutes 49 seconds.
"It brings tears to my eyes that I'll be able to tell my kids that I won this gold medal," said Lewis. "Perhaps I'll have my first beer in two years now."
In the PT4 event, George Peasgood finished seventh and Great Britain team-mate David Hill 10th.
In the pool, Ellie Robinson - the S6 50m butterfly gold medallist - finished fourth and four-time Paralympic champion Ellie Simmonds sixth in the S6 50m freestyle, won by Ukrainian Yelyzaveta Mereshko.
Both Britons have restricted growth and it was Simmonds' performances at London 2012 that encouraged Robinson, now 15, to begin competing.
Tai took bronze in the women's S10 100m backstroke, four years after she was selected as a torchbearer at the London Games.
Tai, who was born with a club foot, finished in one minute 9.39 seconds as New Zealand's Sophie Pascoe won gold.
Paralympic veteran Sascha Kindred was sixth in the men's S5 50m freestyle and Andrew Mullen finished fourth in the men's S5 50m butterfly.
Just 24 hours after India won their first Paralympic gold medal since 2004, local government officials celebrated the achievement by handing out cash prizes.
Men's T42 high jumpers Mariyappan Thangavelu and Varun Singh Bhati won gold and bronze respectively and received approximately £225,000 from the Tamil Nadu government.
India, the world's second most populous nation, has the worst Olympic record in terms of medals per head and they won just one silver and one bronze in Brazil.
Therefore, the achievements of Thangavelu and Bhati have been widely celebrated.
Elsewhere, Slovakia's Darko Duric entertained the crowd in the aquatics centre after he forgot to take the headphones off the top of his cap before his 50m butterfly S5 race.
Also in the pool, Ukrainian Maksym Krypak broke the world record in the men's S10 100m backstroke with a time of 57.24 seconds.

39,174,190 | Charteris missed the first two matches against Italy and England with a broken hand but was a second-half replacement in the 29-13 defeat in Scotland.
After starting for Bath in their 24-3 defeat by Wasps on Saturday, Charteris believes he is ready to face Ireland in Cardiff six days later.
"I feel good and would give it a go," the Bath lock said.
Scarlets second-row Jake Ball has partnered captain Alun Wyn Jones in the first three games.
Charteris, who will celebrate his 34th birthday on Thursday, played just under an hour in Bath's defeat against Premiership leaders Wasps at the Rec.
"It was a fast paced game," he said.
"It was good to get a run out, it has been a stop start season so far.
"The hand felt good, which was the main thing. I might have been back sooner but I managed to pull my hamstring in training.
"I am fully over that now with two games under my belt.
"Hopefully it will be good to finish the season, stay injury free and play some rugby."
Fellow Welsh forward Taulupe Faletau also played 80 minutes for Bath and is battling for a starting spot in the back-row after recovering from a knee problem.
"It is good to see him back," added Charteris.
"He is a quality player and you can see when he gets his hands on the ball he is such a threat." | Wales second-row Luke Charteris says he is ready start in their Six Nations match against Ireland on Friday. |
28,324,408 | Patrick McLoughlin's suggestion comes after Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe called for offenders to get six points on their licence.
The increased sanctions would mean a driver could get banned if they got caught twice in three years.
A government spokesman said it was "considering a number of options".
It has been illegal to use a mobile phone while driving since December 2003.
As it stands offenders get three points on their licence and an initial £100 fine, which could increase to a £1,000 fine should the case go to court.
Mr McLoughlin's suggestion was made during a lunchtime briefing with journalists on Tuesday.
The Daily Mail reported that he said: "We've got to change this. I want to alert people to what they are doing.
"The person who is using their phone doesn't realise the damage or the danger that they could be in, so it ends up ruining different people's lives."
Figures released by the Department for Transport show that in 2012 there were 17 fatal accidents involving mobile phones and a further 67 "serious accidents".
Home Office figures show that in 2012 in England and Wales more than 92,500 fixed penalty notices were issued for using a handheld mobile phone while driving, which is a fall of 32% on 2011 when more than 123,000 notices were issued.
Julie Townsend, deputy chief executive of road safety charity Brake, said she would welcome the proposal should it ever become legislation.
She said: "We hope the government will implement it. Brake has long campaigned for tougher penalties for mobile phone use at the wheel because of the suffering we see the bereaved and injured victims of road crashes put through as the result of such a senseless and unnecessary risk."
A Department for Transport spokesman said: "Using a mobile phone while driving is extremely dangerous which is why we are considering a number of options to deter drivers."
In August 2013 the department increased the initial fine drivers received for getting caught using their phone from £60 to £100.
Shadow transport secretary Mary Creagh said: "Sadly under this government we have seen the first increase in motorway deaths in nearly a decade.
"Using your phone while driving is illegal and Labour will be pressing the government to take firm action to prevent these avoidable deaths."
Last week research by the motoring group the RAC suggested that a fifth of motorists did not know it was illegal to check social media websites on a phone while driving. | The penalty for using a mobile phone while driving could be doubled from the current three points, the transport secretary has suggested. |
39,320,619 | The man told the woman he had spotted a leak in her bathroom while working on the roof of her block of flats in Summerston.
She allowed him into a flat where he stole a five-figure sum of money before fleeing.
The robbery happened in Rothes Drive at about 13:00 on Thursday.
Police said the pensioner was not injured during the incident but was "extremely upset".
The suspect is described as white, between 40 and 50 years old, 5ft 8in tall and of medium build. He was clean-shaven and was wearing a beige jacket.
Det Con Gary Boyle, of Maryhill CID, appealed for witnesses, saying: "Although the lady involved may not have been physically injured during incident, she is extremely upset about what happened and very saddened by the fact that someone she thought was there to help her has taken advantage of her and stolen her life savings.
"We do not think the lady was specifically targeted, we believe it was more opportunistic, and so would ask if anyone in the area has, in the last few days, been approached in the same manner by a man fitting the description.
"If you have any information that will assist officers with their enquiries, then please contact Maryhill CID via 101." | A bogus workman stole an 80-year-old woman's life savings after conning his way into her house in Glasgow. |
36,423,145 | In 1961 Antonio Imbert Barrera was a senior official in the government of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo and plotted with 10 others to assassinate him.
President Trujillo's death ended 31 years of bloody dictatorship.
Only Imbert and one other survived the aftermath.
Read: 'I shot the cruellest dictator in the Americas'
Imbert, who was 93 when he died, also took part in a US-backed coup in 1963 against the leftist President Juan Bosch.
He later formed part of a military junta established after the coup and was declared president in 1965.
He also helped fight off the insurrection which aimed at returning Juan Bosch to power, which eventually sparked a US invasion.

40,976,057 | The Department of Finance has asked departments to outline what reductions to their revenue would look like if a 4%, 8%, or 12% cut was implemented.
Officials have said it is an "information-gathering exercise".
Any decisions will be made by a new Northern Ireland Executive or by direct rule ministers.
Northern Ireland has effectively been without a devolved government since January.
Its institutions collapsed amid a bitter row between the DUP and Sinn Féin about a botched green energy scheme.
Subsequent talks failed to reach an agreement.
Health and social welfare is exempt from the cuts scoping exercise, while some aspects of policing and education will be protected under the terms of the Fresh Start Agreement of November 2015.
The Department of Finance said the exercise will help to plan the revenue budgets up until 2019-2020, but that the capital budget is increasing in real terms and will be unaffected by the cuts scenarios.
A Department of Finance spokesperson said: "Under normal processes, at this time of the year NI Civil Service departments begin budget planning for the next financial year.
"The Department of Finance has commissioned an information-gathering exercise to collect the necessary data that will allow a future executive to make key, informed decisions on a budget for 2018-19 and beyond.
"This process is for information-gathering purposes only, covering a number of scenarios for non-protected areas. It will be for an incoming executive to make decisions about funding levels and final budgets.
"Similar to previous budgets, it is proposed to provide full protection from reductions for health and welfare reform with some protection for education and PSNI budgets." | Northern Ireland's government departments have been asked to identify potential cuts of between 4% to 12% ahead of the next budget. |
36,407,643 | The boy climbed through a barrier and fell into a moat, where he was grabbed and dragged by the gorilla.
The zoo said it took action to shoot the 400lb (180kg) gorilla as the situation was "life-threatening". The boy is expected to recover.
Last week two lions were shot dead in a zoo in Chile after a man entered their pen in an apparent suicide attempt.
Cincinnati zoo has temporarily shut its gorilla exhibit following the incident on Saturday.
The boy had fallen about 10ft into the moat. Video shows the boy being dragged through the shallow moat. The gorilla then stops, with the child below him and looking up at him.
But the boy was reportedly dragged by the 17-year-old male western lowland gorilla named Harambe for about 10 minutes.
The child was taken to a local hospital and although no information about his condition has been released it is believed he will recover.
Zoo director Thane Maynard said: "[The officials] made a tough choice and they made the right choice because they saved that little boy's life. It could have been very bad."
He said a tranquilliser would not have had a quick enough effect.
Mr Maynard said that although the boy was not under attack, he "certainly was at risk".
He added: "We are all devastated that this tragic accident resulted in the death of a critically-endangered gorilla. This is a huge loss for the zoo family and the gorilla population worldwide."
Two female gorillas in the enclosure did not approach the child and were unharmed.
Harambe was born in captivity in Texas and moved to Cincinnati zoo in 2014, where it was hoped he could be part of a breeding programme. Cincinnati zoo has had the largest number of western lowland gorilla births in the US.
In a similar incident in 1986 on the island of Jersey, a Crown dependency of the UK, a five-year-old boy fell into a gorilla enclosure.
He lost consciousness and a silverback gorilla called Jambo famously stood guard over him, protecting him from other gorillas and stroking his back. When the boy came round he started to cry and the gorillas retreated, allowing keepers to rescue the child, Levan Merritt.
A life-sized statue of Jambo fetched £18,000 ($26,000) at auction and he even appeared on Jersey stamps.
The western lowland subspecies inhabits west African rainforests and is the most numerous, although exact figures are not known. There are more than 500 in zoos worldwide.
The shooting of the lions last week in Santiago, Chile, brought criticism from activists. Zoo officials said no fast-activating tranquillisers were available.

38,351,557 | The unnamed female calf was born to 12-year-old mother Sundara after a 22-month gestation.
Keepers at the zoo said both mother and daughter were doing well and visitors would be able to see the new arrival.
The calf is the 19th elephant to be born at Chester Zoo in its 85-year history, with five, including the new calf, part of the same family.
Richard Fraser, assistant team manager of elephants at the zoo, said: "As soon as Sundara began showing early signs of labour, you could see the rest of the family knew something special was about to happen.
"She delivered her calf on to soft sand with all the family gathered around.
"Sundara then gave her a series of little kicks to gently stimulate and encourage her to her feet.
"Minutes later, the new arrival was up and standing and making her first attempts to suckle."
Elephants are born into captivity in the UK only once or twice a year, and Asian elephants are listed as endangered.
Living to about 50 to 60 years old, there are between 35,000 and 40,000 in the wild and managed breeding programmes. | An Asian elephant has been born at Chester Zoo, increasing its herd to seven. |
20,399,401 | Chris Grayling said the plan would be co-ordinated by private and voluntary sector groups who would be paid if re-offending was reduced.
The mentors would help with finding housing and training opportunities.
Probation officers welcomed the idea but expressed doubt about whether enough mentors could be found.
Almost half of adult prisoners are re-convicted within a year of release and, like his predecessor Ken Clarke, Mr Grayling has made tackling reoffending a priority as justice secretary.
In his speech on Tuesday, Mr Grayling said he would be expanding the government's use of payment-by-results to organisations which delivered cuts in reoffending.
Only those who are jailed for more than a year are currently provided with opportunities to join rehabilitation programmes. The government says it wants all but the highest-risk prisoners to be in programmes by the end of 2015.
Mr Grayling said: "When all we do is just take those people, release them onto the streets with £46 in their pockets and no other support, why are we surprised that they reoffend again quickly?
"Whether you are the hardest of hard-liners on crime, or the most liberal observer, every single one of us has a vested interest in an enlightened approach to reducing reoffending. We can't just keep recycling people round and round the system.
Having a mentor meant that when I got released I knew I had someone to talk to and tell how I felt. He was an ex-prisoner, so he has been through the system himself. He knows what it's like and he knows the struggles.
Having someone can show a way to avoid stepping back into the old cycle of going back to committing crimes. It can be really tempting. When you come out there are two roads - the proper road, where you will struggle at first, or you can commit crimes. If you get away with crimes you can afford food and housing. If you don't get away with it you'll get those things supplied anyway because you'll be in prison.
It definitely made a difference for me because I looked at my mentor's life, saw how good their life was and thought that if I took their advice my life could be similar.
"When someone leaves prison, I want them already to have a mentor in place to help them get their lives back together. I want them to be met at the prison gate, to have a place to live sorted out and above all someone who know where they are, what they are doing, and can be a wise friend to prevent them from reoffending.
"Often it will be the former offender gone straight who is best placed to steer the young prisoner back onto the straight and narrow - the former gang member best placed to prevent younger members from rushing straight back to rejoin the gang on the streets.
"There are some really good examples out there of organisations making good use of the old lags in stopping the new ones. We need more of that for the future."
Mr Grayling said he had also launched a review of youth custody because the average cost of £100,000 per detained offender was a "bad return on investment". He said the review would focus on how to better educate and rehabilitate young offenders, rather than just locking them up.
Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan said that Labour supported attempts to rehabilitate offenders - but said the government's numbers did not add up, because the Ministry of Justice was losing a quarter of its budget and thousands of staff.
"If Chris Grayling is proposing to include an additional 50,000 jail-leavers in rehabilitation programmes and to have an army of more than 60,000 mentors, then he needs to come clean about how this will be funded.
"If it means that resources for existing rehabilitation programmes are going to be cut further or spread more thinly to pay for it, the fear is under-resourced rehabilitation programmes won't be effective in stopping jail-leavers from returning to a life of crime."
Just over 86,000 people left jail in the 12 months to June 2012. Four out of 10 prisoners serve sentences of six months or less. Harry Fletcher, of the National Association of Probation Officers, said the idea of mentors was "excellent" but he thought it would never happen because so many prisoners were released every year.
"You'd need an army of volunteers or employees of private companies to do it properly," he said.
Others fear reform of the probation service is happening too fast.
Sue Hall, from the Probation Chiefs' Association, said: "If payment by results is to be brought in for rehabilitation by 2015, that's a very tall order and any change that is coming in as quickly as that does run a risk of destabilising the system and if that happens then people could be at risk." | Every prisoner released in England and Wales should have a mentor to help get his or her life back on track, the justice secretary says. |
34,677,211 | Founded in 1965 as a left-wing Muslim group, it staunchly opposed the Shah of Iran and was involved in the protests that led to his downfall and the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979.
It initially endorsed the republic's founder Ayatollah Khomeini but, after its leader Massoud Rajavi was barred from standing in the first presidential election, the MEK turned against the government.
It launched an armed struggle to topple the Islamic Republic, claiming responsibility for the assassination of several high-profile figures.
The authorities launched a bloody purge of supporters of the MEK, also known as the People's Mujahideen Organisation of Iran (PMOI), and Mr Rajavi fled to Paris.
He later relocated to Camp Ashraf in Saddam Hussein's Iraq, near the Iranian border, with most of his followers. There the movement steadily acquired the characteristics of a cult, with veneration of Massoud Rajavi and his wife, Maryam.
During the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, the MEK carried out several armed attacks on Iran in coordination with Saddam's army, losing much of its domestic support in the process.
The MEK's relations with the West have been complex. The United States and European Union listed the group as a terrorist organisation during the pro-reform presidency of Iran's Mohammad Khatami, only to reverse the decision under his hardline successor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The MEK scored a propaganda coup in 2002, when it revealed the existence of Iran's major nuclear facilities. This led to a long standoff between the Islamic Republic and the West.
In post-Saddam Iraq the group disarmed and eventually relocated to Camp Liberty, a former US military base near Baghdad, fearing for the safety of its members under Iraq's Shia-dominated government.
There are estimated to be over 2,000 followers in the camp, while the MEK's leaders are based in France. They refer to Maryam Rajavi as "Iran's president in exile". Massoud Rajavi himself has not been seen in public for years.

38,961,615 | Jordan Matthews admits manslaughter, but denies the murder of Xixi Bi, 24, at their flat in Llandaff, Cardiff.
Mr Matthews told Cardiff Crown Court he had planned to marry Miss Bi.
He told defence barrister Christopher Henley QC he had "never laid a hand on Xixi Bi, not on purpose".
Mr Matthews accepted he was smoking "quite a lot" of cannabis at the time, and the court heard he felt "insecure" when his girlfriend went to visit her family in China.
He said he became "paranoid" about Miss Bi being unfaithful to him, and believed at the time she had received a message from someone called "Ben" on the Tinder dating app.
Both prosecution and the defence agreed that Miss Bi did not have the Tinder app, nor any contact called "Ben".
The defendant said he had picked Miss Bi up from a sofa and threw her against a door frame. She crashed into a chest of drawers and, when she swore at him in response, he had punched her.
Mr Henley showed Mr Matthews charts of Miss Bi's extensive injuries, including a broken jaw and ribs.
Asked if he used a weapon, Mr Matthews said: "No sir, I would never use a weapon against anyone in any fight, especially not my girlfriend.
"It's taken the best thing in my life away from me."
In cross-examination, prosecutor Paul Lewis QC asked Mr Matthews if he was a jealous man.
Twice, Mr Lewis said: "You beat her to death, didn't you?"
Matthews replied: "I didn't intend to. It was an accident."

33,252,258 | Sion Davies, 25, died after being shot with the weapon and falling from a third floor balcony at a flat at Caia Park in October, 2014.
Lee Roberts, 33, and Anthony Munkley, known as Charlie, 53, were jailed for life at Mold Crown Court on Thursday.
The judge, Mr Justice Wyn Williams, said it was a punishment murder over a drugs debt.
Munkley was given a concurrent eight-year sentence for drugs offences and Roberts got four years.
Munkley's wife, Gwenythe, 55, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice after helping her husband to evade arrest.
Her sentencing was adjourned for pre-sentence reports and she was bailed.
All three defendants were also found guilty of conspiring to supply drugs, although Munkley admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis.
Evidence from Mr Davies's mobile phone was used to convict the men, which had recorded footage of the attack on it.
It proved Munkley was at the flat and had not disappeared as he had claimed when a "mystery Geordie man" carried out the murder.
The court heard Mr Davies suffered "horrific" injuries in the attack and subsequent fall.
A statement from Mr Davies's family said: "We are still completely devastated at the loss of Sion and still can't believe this is real.
"Regardless of the circumstances of his death, Sion was a caring, loving son, brother and partner and we are lost without him." | Two men have been jailed for at least 28 years for murdering a Wrexham man with a crossbow. |
40,428,988 | Formerly the Kintyre Course, it has been redesigned and upgraded and forms the second course to the Ailsa.
Bruce, best remembered for his victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, was brought up at Turnberry Castle.
Eric and his brother Donald Trump Junior have been running The Trump Corporation since their father stepped down after being elected US president.
The King Robert the Bruce course has been designed by Martin Ebert, who was also responsible for the changes to the Championship Ailsa Course, which officially reopened in June 2016.
Eric Trump said: "To know that the King of Scotland, Robert the Bruce, was born here at Turnberry Castle is something we're incredibly proud of; therefore, it made sense to name this new course after a legendary Scottish Warrior.
He described Mr Ebert as an "exceptional architect with tremendous vision".
"The final product will be a course which, similar to its famous counterpart, will sit among the ranks of the top courses anywhere in the world," he said.
Mr Ebert said it had been an honour to create "what will certainly be one of the top courses in Scotland and the UK".
He said: "The location of the links at Turnberry, right on such a tremendously rugged coastline, really elevates the playing experience for the golfer and heightens the challenges laid out in front of them.
"As well as creating some spectacular golf holes, we've also introduced an ecologically diverse wetland area between the 5th and 13th holes which will become a haven for wildlife as it matures.
"The wetland will also provide a beautiful visual feature as well as offering a strategic playing challenge for both holes." | Donald Trump's son, Eric, has opened the King Robert the Bruce golf course at Turnberry in South Ayrshire. |
32,115,595 | Pte Shaun Cole, 22, from Edinburgh, was attending the Ultra Music festival in Miami with two friends.
Local media has reported that he died as a result of a head injury and his body was found on a pavement. He was serving with the Royal Scots Borderers.
Pte Cole's family described him as "an extremely popular young man" with "a flair for life". They said his life has been "taken from him too soon".
In a statement, released by the Army, his family said: "It comes with such regret that we have had to say goodbye to an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend.
"An extremely popular young man, he had a flair for life and was always the life and soul of everyone he was around. He was an incredible young man who had his life taken from him too soon. We ask everyone to respect our privacy to grieve. "
Police in America said the former Tynecastle High School pupil had a blunt force trauma to the head, and they were still trying to establish whether his death was an accident or murder.
Pte Cole had recently returned from serving in Sierra Leone, where he was helping with the fight against Ebola.
Commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Matt Munro said Pte Cole would be "missed terribly".
He said: "The men and women of 1 SCOTS are shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death of Private Shaun Cole."
"Only recently back from helping to battle the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone and a veteran of the conflict in Afghanistan, Shaun achieved an extraordinary amount in a military career that was full of promise but was tragically cut short. We will miss him terribly.
"Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Shaun's family at this desperately difficult time."
Tom Rae, head teacher at Tynecastle High School, said: "Shaun is remembered fondly as a helpful, pleasant and hard-working student.
"He had a good sense of humour and was popular with his peers, the staff and was a real team player."
Jamie Lothian, who is understood to have been on the music festival trip with Mr Cole, wrote on Facebook from Fort Lauderdale: "It is killing me inside to write this but I still can't get my head around any of it.

And Abraham - a former under-19 international - said: "They did the country so proud and we would love to follow in their footsteps.
"We want to show we are the next up-and-coming players for the England squad, so there is a bit of pressure."
Abraham, who is back at Chelsea after scoring 26 goals for Bristol City last season, is 19 and was eligible for the under-20 team but was selected in the under-21 squad by Aidy Boothroyd.
"It's bittersweet," added the striker, who played at the Under-19 European Championship in 2016.
"It's a great achievement. I'm sure they're proud of themselves.
"The whole country is proud of them. They deserved to win it. But I'm here to win the Euros and we've got a lot of good players, so we're in with a chance.
"It's massively inspiring. We're going into a massive tournament now with the under-21s and it would be nice to end it on a blast. The boys are confident."
Nathan Redmond, who is back with the under-21s after making his senior England debut against Germany in March, revealed the players have been relaxing by watching dating show Love Island.
"I managed to get it on the laptop so a few of the boys were round watching it," said the 23-year-old Southampton forward.
"It's another thing which keeps everyone together.
"We have games rooms and a lot of stuff to keep us occupied. A lot of the boys appreciate the downtime and chilling out. When you've got time to take your mind off football, you take it."
The under-21 tournament is held every two years and this year's finals have been expanded to 12 teams, split into three groups of four. The group winners and the best-placed runner-up will progress to the semi-final stage.
Six venues will be used for the 15-day tournament, which will conclude with the final in Krakow on 30 June.
England's match at the Kielce City Stadion in Poland is the opening game of the tournament and kicks off at 17:00 BST.
Boothroyd's team qualified by winning a group that included Norway and Switzerland.
However, the under-21s have disappointed since reaching the final back in 2009, failing to qualify from their group in 2011, 2013 and 2015. In fact, they have won just one game at the finals over the past three tournaments.
This year, watch out for Spain's Marco Asensio, who scored for Real Madrid in their recent Champions League final win over Juventus, while Portugal have Renato Sanches - named young player of the tournament at Euro 2016 - in their squad.
BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis: "England are not regarded as one of the favourites but Boothroyd will be aiming - at the very least - for his team to reach the knockout stages of this expanded tournament.
"I spoke to him recently and we discussed their match against Sweden, who are the defending champions. Understandably, he described as them a "difficult team" and it is worth noting Sweden finished above Spain in qualifying. Their goals were shared among 15 different players.
"The focus for now is purely to get out of the group and it's important England start well.
"Boothroyd told me 'it's a lot easier if you get some points on the board from your opening game' but England have not won their first fixture in the past three Euros.
"The fancied sides? Spain, Germany and Italy are right up there."

Jordan Pickford: Everton-bound, outstanding for Sunderland and another opportunity to showcase his talents on the European stage. Last summer he was part of the team that won the Toulon tournament.
Nathaniel Chalobah: At 22 this is a player who should be playing on a regular basis. Back in March, Gareth Southgate talked about the Chelsea man pushing for a defensive midfield role with the England senior team.
The England manager will be in Poland so it's a chance to catch his eye with options elsewhere limited.

The Western Bay Safeguarding Children Board review did not suggest her death could have been prevented.
But, it added, "working practices have been modified".
Authors said lessons could be learned about communication between agencies like children's services, foster carers, schools and police.
A board spokesman stated: "The safeguarding of children remains an absolute priority for all of the board's member agencies.
"The board has ensured that all of the agencies involved have been made aware and that working practices have been modified accordingly to take account of the review's findings."
The review said other improvements included relocating social work teams into "multi-agency community hubs".

35,194,909 | Storm Frank is due to sweep in from Tuesday evening, with Cumbria and south and central Scotland at most risk.
December has already seen communities in Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Yorkshire swamped by rising waters.
Prime Minister David Cameron has defended government spending on flood defences after the devastation across northern England.
There are already nine severe flood warnings - meaning "danger to life" - in England and Wales, mostly around York which was flooded on Saturday.
The Met Office issued amber weather warnings - meaning "be prepared" - for rain in Strathclyde; Central, Tayside and Fife; Dumfries, Galloway, Lothian and Borders; and North West England for Wednesday.
There are also yellow weather warnings - meaning "be aware" - for rain for the rest of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, North East England and Yorkshire and Humber.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency warned Storm Frank could bring further flooding to Scotland. Wales is also bracing itself for more rain.
Floods minister Rory Stewart told the BBC that the government would spend £2.3 billion on flood defences over six years.
"There are going to be different parts of the country where people are going to be pushing for bigger schemes," Mr Stewart said.
"We have to try to be fair, we're putting a lot of money into this and we're making sure we're spending it in the most cost effective way we can."
The government has ordered a major inspection into how it is planning to prevent floods in the future.
But the Labour Party's John McDonnell said that "a long term cross-party plan" was needed to help solve the issue of flooding and any review must include the views of experts on the ground.
Liberal Democrat party leader Tim Farron said extra funding was needed for flood defences, and said Prime Minister David Cameron needed to "show he cares about the North by following up his words with deeds".

37,719,757 | The 21-year-old has scored five goals from nine Championship starts this season, including two against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
"I do believe in time he's going to be a bona fide Premier League player," Coyle told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"It's the likes of the Sam Gallaghers and Tommie Hobans that, as a manager, you'd be looking to invest in."
Gallagher made 18 top-flight appearances for Southampton in the 2013-14 campaign, 15 as a substitute, scoring in a victory over Norwich.
However, a serious knee injury halted his progress and he failed to score in 15 games on loan at MK Dons last season.
Asked if he would like to sign Gallagher permanently, Coyle said: "I'd love to - Tommy Hoban's another one I would love to.
"He's young and he's still got a lot to learn, but I try to speak to him each day to try and impart some experience that I've picked up over the years, some knowledge of playing in that area.
"He's willing to listen, he's willing to learn and it's showing." | Blackburn Rovers boss Owen Coyle says he "would love to" buy on-loan Southampton striker Sam Gallagher. |
19,711,026 | The German Medical Association (Bundesaerztekammer) said the proposal would undermine the safety mechanism provided by ethics committees, which do prior assessment of clinical trials.
The EU Commission wants a new EU draft regulation to take effect in 2016.
Bureaucracy is hampering human drug tests in Europe, the Commission argues.
After World War II Germany tightened up ethical standards in medicine, shocked by the abuses committed by Nazi doctors.
The new EU regulation would replace the 2001 Clinical Trials Directive.
Health Commissioner John Dalli, who presented the proposal on 17 July, said "800 million euros [£637m; $1.03bn] per year could be saved in regulatory costs and boost research and development in the EU, thus contributing to economic growth".
He insisted that patient safety would not be compromised.
The Commission says the current directive has been applied in diverse ways in the EU, leading to a big regulatory burden. That contributed to a 25% fall in the number of clinical trials conducted in Europe in 2007-2011, it says.
The new proposal cannot become law until EU health ministers - grouped in the EU Council - and European Parliament have approved it.
The Commission aims to make it easier to conduct multi-national clinical trials in Europe, by introducing one authorisation procedure, simplified reporting procedures and more transparency.
The proposal also calls for checks by Commission specialists on the conduct of clinical trials in the EU and other countries, to make sure the rules are properly supervised and enforced.
The news website Nature says the current directive has been criticised by many medical experts as excessively bureaucratic. They have also blamed the directive for the transfer of medical research to some non-EU countries where oversight of clinical trials is less strict.
German MPs are set to examine the new EU proposal this week.
The German Medical Association - the main ethical watchdog for doctors in Germany - says it wants the role of ethics committees in clinical trials to be made explicit in the EU proposal. It also says that rejection of a clinical trial by an ethics committee must mean that the trial is ruled out.
The proposal must also allow for member states to conduct their own checks in cases where a clinical trial is pioneered by one member state, the German doctors say.
The proposal also undermines German clinical trial safeguards for minors and for people incapable of giving consent, the association says. | German doctors have voiced concern about EU plans to speed up clinical drug trials and streamline testing procedures across the 27-nation bloc. |
33,414,591 | John Whittingdale told Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards it was "reasonable" S4C should make "the same kind of efficiency savings" asked of the BBC.
The warning came as the minister announced the BBC would foot the bill for free TV licences for people over the age of 75 from 2018.
Shadow Culture Secretary Chris Bryant denounced it as a "shabby little deal".
S4C receives the bulk of its money - £75m - from the BBC licence fee, with £7m from the UK government plus some commercial income.
Mr Bryant had warned in May that the Welsh channel could be "shrunk" as a result of pressure on the licence fee.
But in June, junior UK culture minister Ed Vaizey dismissed criticism of S4C's financial arrangements, saying the channel was "extremely generously funded". | Welsh TV channel S4C faces budget cuts similar to those faced by the BBC, the UK culture secretary has told MPs. |
33,926,342 | The two men were suspected members of Ansarullah Bangla Team, a militant group accused of links to previous attacks on bloggers, police said.
Mr Neel was hacked to death by a gang armed with machetes at his home in the capital Dhaka last week.
It was the fourth such killing of a secular blogger this year.
Police say the two men being held are key suspects in Mr Neel's murder.
Mr Neel's attackers had tricked their way into his home by saying they were looking to rent a flat.
Bangladesh is officially secular but critics say the government is indifferent to attacks on bloggers by Islamist militants.
In May, secular blogger Ananta Bijoy Das was killed by masked men with machetes in Sylhet. He was said to have received death threats from Islamist extremists.
In March, another blogger, Washiqur Rahman, was hacked to death in Dhaka. Blogger Avijit Roy, who courted controversy by championing atheism and also tackling issues such as homosexuality, was killed in Dhaka in February. | Bangladesh police say they have arrested two suspected members of a banned Islamist group over the killing of atheist blogger Niloy Neel. |
38,448,941 | Prosecutors said the trio made more than $4m by using information they obtained through hacking into some of the top law firms.
They profited by buying stock in firms imminently about to be acquired.
One of the defendants has been arrested while the other two are still at large.
Manhattan Attorney Preet Bharara warned the case should serve as a wake-up call for law firms who now have to worry about cyber fraud in addition to the threat posed by a rogue employee making money out of forthcoming mergers and acquisitions.
The three Chinese men have been charged with conspiracy, insider trading, wire fraud and computer intrusion.

Can the technology sector keep up with cyber crime? (video)
They are alleged to have made investments based on information obtained from hacking into unnamed law firms working on merger deals, by posing as information technology analysts. The trio are alleged to have targeted the email accounts of individual law firm partners.
One of the suspects, Iat Hong, from Macau, was arrested on Sunday in Hong Kong, police told the BBC. He attended a court hearing on Monday and is reported to be awaiting extradition. The others were named as Bo Zheng of Changsha, and Chin Hung of Macau.
Lawyers for the trio have not so far commented on the allegations against them.
Police in Macau told BBC Chinese said that they had "no record" of the US authorities asking for assistance to find the two missing defendants.
The suspects are accused of targeting at least seven New York law firms in their efforts to obtain information about forthcoming deals, The New York Times reported.
The newspaper said they were "extraordinarily active in pursuing information" and quotes the indictment against them as saying that, between March and September 2015, they "attempted to cause unauthorised access to the networks and servers of the targeted law firms on more than 100,000 occasions".
The indictment says that among the deals the trio are alleged to have profited from was the acquisition of e-commerce company Borderfree by Pitney Bowes Inc and Intel Corp's purchase of circuit manufacturer Altera Corp. Both were completed in 2015. | Three Chinese citizens accused of hacking into computers of American law firms advising on company mergers have been charged with multi-million dollar cyber fraud in New York. |
35,814,367 | Ben, from Sheffield, was 21 months old when he went missing after travelling to the Greek island of Kos in 1991
His mother Kerry has always maintained her son is alive and was probably abducted.
Dr Alan Billings, the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, said the search would be reviewed in October.
He said that by October if "all that could be done has been done" then it would be the end of the investigation.
Amongst other things the new money will help send officers from the South Yorkshire force to Kos.
Ben vanished on 24 July 1991, after travelling to Kos with his mother and grandparents who were renovating a farmhouse in the village of Iraklise.
A DNA test was carried out on a man in Cyprus in an attempt to establish if he could be the toddler, but proved negative in 2013.
In 2012, a police operation focused on a mound of earth and rubble close to where Ben was last seen, but no trace of him was found. | A police force has secured £450,000 from the Home Office to investigate the disappearance of toddler Ben Needham for another six months. |
21,543,469 | London-based Mace will team up with British firm EC Harris to create the Kingdom Tower in Jeddah.
When finished, the structure will stand around 3,280 ft (1km) high, more than three times taller than the Shard.
It will be around 558ft (170m) higher than the current tallest building, the 2,717ft (828m) Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
Construction of the Kingdom Tower, which will overlook the Red Sea, is expected to cost around £780m and take more than five years to complete.
It will consist of a five-star hotel, apartments, office space and an observatory.
Mark Reynolds, chief executive of Mace, said: "Kingdom Tower is a project of international importance and immense ambition and we are delighted to be part of the joint venture team tasked with its delivery."
Keith Brooks, head of property and social infrastructure at EC Harris, said: "The Kingdom Tower is a landmark building that will clearly demonstrate Saudi Arabia's ambitions to the world."
The Jeddah Economic Company, which appointed the firms to the project, said it was the vision of Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. | The company that built London's Shard skyscraper has been chosen to oversee the construction of a tower in Saudi Arabia set to be the world's tallest. |
32,618,880 | An academic report said in February that at least 53 underage girls were abused in two towns in central Colombia.
US soldiers allegedly filmed the abuse and sold the tapes as pornography.
The Colombian Ombudsman said he had asked for an update on a US inquiry into the allegations.
The Colombian government welfare body, the ICBF, called for the girls and adolescents allegedly involved to be located and identified.
The allegations were published by a historian, Renan Vega, in a report on Colombia's long-running conflict between the government and FARC rebels .
It was part of a set of 12 reports on the conflict, by various historians, requested by negotiators at peace talks taking place in the Cuban capital, Havana.
Mr Vega alleges that the abuse happened in two towns, Melgar and Girardot in central Colombia near one of the country's largest military bases.
He also alleged that in Melgar, a US contractor and a US sergeant raped a 12-year-old girl in 2007.
The French news agency AFP quoted the US Embassy in Bogota as saying it "takes very seriously any allegation of sexual misconduct by one of its officials."
US military and contractors have been working in Colombia for more than a decade during a multi-billion-dollar military and diplomatic aid operation named "Plan Colombia" aimed at fighting drug trafficking and insurgencies. | Colombia says it will investigate accusations that US contractors and military staff sexually abused minors for four years from 2003. |
40,030,690 | Blues chief executive Richard Holland said the region has made the "unanimous decision" not to pursue the option.
Holland added "amicable discussions" had been held on how the WRU could assist the region during the potential redevelopment of Cardiff Arms Park.
"We will continue to explore the best way forward for the future of ... our region," he said in an open letter.
Earlier in May WRU chief executive Martyn Phillips said the governing body was in "embryonic" talks over the possibility of taking over the Blues.
Stadium redevelopment plans rest on Blues coming to an agreement over renewing their lease with Cardiff Athletic Club (Cac) that ends in January, 2022.
That agreement appears to be a step closer with a Cac spokesperson saying: "I can confirm that negotiations are ongoing and we hope to call an EGM [extraordinary general meeting] in the not too distant future.
"From a practical perspective this is unlikely to be in the next couple of weeks due to the Champions League Final (on 3 June) and the impact that it has on holding meetings etc."
Cac is a body made up of Cardiff tennis, bowls, hockey and cricket clubs which has a clubhouse at the Arms Park.
Blues boss Holland added: "With only five years remaining on the existing lease and the annual costs of maintaining the current facility escalating, the Cardiff Blues board are resolutely focused on extending the lease and redeveloping Cardiff Arms Park to provide a fit for purpose stadium for both Cardiff Rugby Football Club and Cardiff Blues.
"The history and heritage of Cardiff Rugby at Cardiff Arms Park is of paramount importance to the board and it is essential to protect all elements of this great club and its iconic home.
"We remain in ongoing negotiations with Cardiff Athletic Club regarding the granting of a new 150-year lease with development rights and are very hopeful of an agreement with the Cac management board."
The announcement came after a vote that paved the way for the WRU to take over Blues' rivals Newport Gwent Dragons.
Blues bosses have previously expressed a wish to redevelop their Arms Park home into a 15,000-capacity stadium.
The plans include a retractable pitch and sliding roof so the stadium can be used as a concert venue, as well as building an exhibition centre, a hotel and flats.
Holland also said in a statement he intends to explain "concept ideas" for the stadium revamp.
He said: "These concepts are purely an indication of what could be achieved, from the replacement of the North and South stands to a complete redevelopment of the entire site, with the playing of rugby being the priority." | The Welsh Rugby Union's proposed temporary takeover of Cardiff Blues has been called off. |
37,881,328 | The first half produced few clear-cut chances but Morecambe did go close when Paul Mullin was found by James Jennings, only to see his shot from eight yards well saved by Jamal Blackman in the Wycombe goal.
Pierre put the hosts ahead early in the second half, beating goalkeeper Barry Roche with a header from six yards out after meeting a Joe Jacobson free-kick.
Morecambe were denied a penalty in response when Matt Bloomfield appeared to handled in the box, but the referee gave a free kick which Michael Rose hit against the post.
And the Shrimps' hopes of a comeback were dashed when O'Nien nipped in front of his marker to head Paul Hayes' cross into the Morecambe goal with just nine minutes remaining.

23,458,957 | The blaze broke out in a block of flats in Campbell Street in the town at about 18:10 on Thursday.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service were called to deal with the "large" fire following a lightning storm.
Torrential rain, thunder and lightning swept parts of the country, with a number of areas in Scotland placed on flood alert.
Following the fire in Greenock, about 20 people had to leave their homes.
They are being cared for at a nearby church hall. The Red Cross has sent an emergency vehicle to support those who are unable to return home.
Scottish Fire and Rescue said later that no one was injured but the building has been "severely damaged" by fire and heat from the blaze.
Firefighters were also dealing with flash floods in Greenock and elsewhere. They received numerous calls from other parts of the country.
Among the worst affected locations were parts of Glasgow and Ayrshire where rainfall was estimated at approximately 20mm.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) issued "be prepared" notices in several areas.
Forecaster Billy Payne, from Meteogroup, said: "The rain band is moving north and breaking up with heavy thundery showers across southern and central Scotland. There have been a few lightning strikes in the Glasgow area and 20mm of rain has fallen locally since daylight began."
The rainstorms follow a three week heat wave during which some of the hottest temperatures for years have been recorded.
As a result of the deteriorating conditions, road maintenance firm BEAR Scotland has postponed resurfacing works on the southbound M9.
Work was due to take place at the weekend but has been shelved due to forecasts for further rain.
The work on the stretch between junction 9 (Bannockburn) and junction 8 (Hill of Kinnaird) will be carried out at a later date.
Scottish Power said "pockets of customers" are without power in the Musselburgh and Tranent areas.
Some flooding was reported in the Borders, at Eyemouth and Kelso.
In Glasgow, the newly-refurbished Tollcross International Swimming Centre was forced shut because of problems with the building's rainwater system.
The centre will host swimming events during next summer's Commonwealth Games.
A spokesman for operators Glasgow Life said: "Tollcross International Swimming Centre has been forced to close as a result of today's adverse weather conditions and an issue with the building's rainwater system.
"Glasgow Life is working with architects and contractors to rectify this and the facility will reopen as soon as possible. We apologise for any disruption to customers." | A lightning strike is thought to have caused a house fire in Greenock, Renfrewshire. |
25,575,083 | Madison Lambe, of Boston, Lincolnshire, took the snaps during a visit to Sandringham on Christmas Day to watch the Royal Family walk to church.
Following the service the Duke of Cambridge came over to her and when asked for a photo he replied "you can't beat a good selfie on Christmas Day".
"He didn't seem bothered that I asked him, he was really nice," said Madison.
"It was sort of a dare from my mum to ask the Queen or him for a photo," added Madison, a pupil at Boston High School.
"I took down some flowers and there were a lot of other children there. When William got down to where I was stood I asked him if I could have a picture and he said 'yes'.

29,679,101 | It is hoped the scheme, run by charity Mind with funding from Sport England, will help 75,000 people.
They will be offered help to join sports clubs, take up a new activity or go to the gym as part of the project.
It will be launched in eight areas of England next year, with £1.5m of National Lottery funding from Sport England and £514,000 raised by Mind.
Mind chief executive Paul Farmer said physical activity could play a "key role" in recovery from mental health issues like anxiety and depression and in staying well in the long term.
"However, mental ill-health in itself can create significant obstacles that prevent people from taking up sport in the first place," he added.
"Feelings of low self-confidence, exhaustion or fear of crowded spaces can seem insurmountable when facing a mental health problem."
Grassroots sports body Sport England will help provide "bespoke sports programmes" that will help thousands of people "access sport as part of their recovery and ongoing health", said Mr Farmer.
Sports coaches taking part on the scheme will receive training to understand the issues faced by those with mental health problems.
The target is for 25,000 people to be helped in the first 15 months of the project.
Jack Holloway, who has experienced depression, told BBC Radio 5 live that taking up running had been hugely beneficial but the idea "wasn't even on the radar" when he received counselling.
However, he said there was a danger of doctors recommending exercise as a fall-back option "if they have nothing else to offer".
There was no reason sport "shouldn't be the third prong or the second prong" of a comprehensive counselling approach, he added.
Sport England's director of community sport Mike Diaper said sport "has the power to improve lives".
He said: "There is compelling evidence that participation in sport and physical activity has a positive influence on mental wellbeing and mental illness.
"This includes enhancing day-to-day moods, reducing the impact of stress and enhancing self-esteem.
"That's why Sport England is committing National Lottery funding to this exciting and ground-breaking programme."
The project will also see support groups and taster sessions set up to help people make sport a part of their lives.
Participants will join the sports and mental health scheme through their local branch of Mind.
Sports Minister Helen Grant said: "This programme from Sport England and Mind will help people struggling with mental health problems use sport as a release and help put them on the road to recovery." | A £2m programme using sport to improve the lives of people with mental health problems has been announced. |

Rhys Marshall opened the scoring for Glenavon before Jude Winchester and Chris Curran turned it around.
Greg Moorhouse headed the away side level only for Jay Donnelly to head Tommy Breslin's team 3-2 up.
James Singleton, James Gray and Andy McGrory scored after the break to secure a thrilling victory for Gary Hamilton's side.
A frantic tone was set early on when Marshall headed Glenavon into the lead after three minutes when he rose highest to meet Joel Cooper's corner.
The Reds responded strongly, however, first through Winchester's long-range strike, which levelled the score before Curran's excellent solo effort turned the game on its head.
Cliftonville conceded again when Moorhouse headed in from close-range to make it 2-2.
Two minutes later, Donnelly produced a fine header of his own to give the Reds a slender advantage going into the break.
Glenavon's game-plan was to bombard Cliftonville with crosses and it proved effective as Singleton made it 3-3 with a header, once again from a Cooper corner.
From then, the away side dominated and were duly rewarded, Gray scoring a close-range header to put the Mourneview Park outfit in the driving seat.

35,349,619 | Japan's official map-making body said foreigners might mistake it for a Nazi symbol, and that temples should be represented by a three-storey pagoda instead.
It is one of six map symbols the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI) has proposed dropping, as Japan prepares for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The GSI came up with the suggestions after speaking to experts and surveying more than 1,000 people, including tourists, embassy officials and foreign students.
It is conducting a public consultation before making an official decision, but some people in Japan are not happy.
Many say the ancient Sanskrit symbol - which has been adopted into Japanese where it is pronounced manji - has long been associated with Buddhism and Japanese culture, and that the tourists should learn this.
In this tweet, Twitter user Fei Explorer linked to a news article on the change and asked rhetorically: "So if terrorists hang up the Union Jack, does this mean the UK should change its flag? Or the USA or Australia?"
Another Twitter user, Konosaki Lem, said: "It's said some would mistake the manji for the Nazi symbol, but Buddhism has a much longer history with this symbol. So I strongly oppose changing our maps for some foreigners who are ignorant and extremely stupid. The idea is foolish."
GSI's executive officer for national mapping, Takayuki Nakamura, acknowledged the controversy, but said some people wanted to go even further.
He told the Japan Times: "Some say we should change symbols for Japanese-language maps at this opportunity, while others say the traditional symbols should stay. Either way, it will take a while before any changes are made, as we need to co-ordinate with related government agencies."
Other symbols that will be changed for foreigners maps include that for a hotel, which GSI admitted looked like the symbol for helipads.
The church symbol could be mistaken for a graveyard, added the agency.
Meanwhile, some respondents to the GSI survey thought the symbol for a hospital looked too much like a shield.
Then there were uniquely Japanese symbols that baffled some, such as that for post offices. The symbol is derived from an old Japanese term dating back to the 19th Century meaning "communication".
The giant X symbol for police station actually represents two police batons crossing each other, but also confused many. It would be replaced by a saluting policeman.
The rest of the 18 symbols are either new ones that will be used exclusively for foreign-language maps to denote places like public bathrooms or restaurants, or existing ones that will be used for both Japanese and foreign maps.
The symbol for hot springs will remain as it is, much to the amusement of some who have pointed out that it looks like another quintessential Japanese icon - a steaming bowl of miso soup.

30,146,277 | The government sets a quarterly target for hospitals to see 95% of emergency cases within four hours.
A&E waits have been below that level since the end of September.
The Department of Health says it recently announced extra support for A&E teams.
And officials say there is rising demand for emergency services, with more than a million extra visits to A&E last year when compared to 2010.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "The NHS is performing well despite unprecedented demand and hospitals continue to treat the vast majority of people quickly, with around 2,000 more people every day seen within the four-hour target in A&E last year compared to 2010.
"Last week we announced extra support to keep services sustainable year-round and in the long-term, we want to reduce demand by looking after people in the community."
Andy Burnham MP, Labour's shadow health secretary, said: "After a week of worrying reports about full A&E departments, it is clear hospitals in all parts of England are struggling to cope.
"Labour has repeatedly warned David Cameron and Jeremy Hunt about the danger of ignoring the warning signs.
"They have ignored the problem for far too long and now it is threatening to drag down the NHS this winter."
The standard recommends patients should be seen and then admitted to hospital or discharged within four hours of arrival in A&E. | Accident and emergency departments in England saw 92.9% of patients within four hours last week - the lowest percentage since April 2013, NHS data shows. |
34,707,157 | In a lawsuit, the family has alleged Integrated Whale Media Investments (IWM) breached its purchase agreement and failed to make payments on time.
IWM borrowed money from Forbes to finance the deal, the family added.
However, IWM has rejected the allegations and told the BBC they are "completely without merit".
The Hong Kong-based investment holding company is registered in the British Virgin Islands, while the Forbes family's lawsuit has been filed the US state of Delaware.
Forbes Media publishes Forbes magazine and reaches about 80 million people a month through its various outlets in print, digital and television.
Forbes Media was owned by the Forbes family for 97 years until the family sold a controlling stake to IWM for an undisclosed amount in July 2014. It had been looking for a buyer since November 2013.
But the Forbes family claims the investment firm has "wasted" corporate assets and abused its position as the controlling shareholder of Forbes Media.
"From the outset of the supposed partnership, Integrated Whale and its principals have steadfastly refused to pay what they clearly owe, and instead have made a series of baseless - and often patently false - excuses and pretexts for their refusal to honour their basic contractual commitments," the family said in the lawsuit filed last week.
IWM has said the lawsuit is a dispute between shareholders and does not have any impact on the media firm's daily operations and future growth.
"Forbes Media is managed by a team of media professionals, and IWM has built a good and trusted working relationship with this management team." | The family behind Forbes Media is suing its Hong Kong investors for an alleged breach of payment on the stake they bought in the media firm last year. |
35,454,069 | Another boy, 12, was attacked by two youths shortly after getting off a bus near Angerstein Road in North End on Tuesday.
One boy punched him in the stomach while the other pulled him to the ground in a headlock. They then stole his iPhone 4.
Hampshire Constabulary said a boy was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of robbery and released on bail.
"The investigation is ongoing and we are continuing to appeal to identify the other boy," a spokesman said.
The victim was "understandably" left "very shaken" by the attack, he added. | A 10-year-old boy has been arrested following a robbery in Portsmouth. |
36,366,647 | Tunisian officials urged the UK government to relax its travel guidance, put in place after 31 British holidaymakers were killed in two attacks last year.
The number of UK visitors has since fallen by 90%.
With the current warning in place, most travel insurance policies will be invalid for those planning to visit the country.
James Merriman returned from a four-night trip to Tunisia on Friday. He travelled by himself across the country and says he felt completely safe.
"There were a few police roadblocks, but I never felt threatened or concerned for my safety," he says.
"The lack of tourists was certainly noticeable throughout my visit to the different parts of the country.
"There were a few Russian tourists and a handful of Chinese tourists, but I didn't meet any other English people.
"The local people are a real credit to their nation.
"They were so happy to have met an English tourist and kept apologising to me personally for the terrible events of last year.
"I do sincerely hope the Foreign Office does relax its advice warning against all but essential travel to Tunisia.
"My trip was wonderful, and I would recommend anyone to give it a try and enjoy this marvellous country."
Matt Sullivan is from the UK, but has been living in Sousse since September 2015, with his wife and three children.
He says the downturn in tourism has had a big impact on Tunisia's economy.
"I have seen local people suffer because of the massive drop in tourism," he says.
"It's affecting everyone in our city: I meet people who have lost jobs because of this, nearly every day.
"There's no negativity towards the British government for its travel advice, but I think it would be justified for them to feel angry.
"In my experience, tourists understand the travel advice as pretty much meaning that you cannot come here.
"Most people assume that they will not be covered by travel insurance.
"Hardly anyone actually realises that, with a bit of shopping around, you can find insurance that covers you in Tunisia."
"Tourists who do come here tell me that they feel very safe and looked after.
"The police presence has been noticeably stepped up, and reported arrests of terrorists have gone from very little to frequent over the last year.
"I certainly feel completely safe living here with my family.
"It seems to me that the government's travel advice system is not up to the particular threat of terrorism.
"The travel advice effectively stops people from being able to come to Tunisia, but what we need is to give people appropriate information and allow them to make informed choices.
"Otherwise, we are letting terrorists win.
"A very tiny number of people have been able to seriously hurt this country's economy.
"And the British people have virtually no choice to stand against the terrorists and with the people of Tunisia."
Jane Dutton has been going to Tunisia for over 20 years.
She has continued to travel there against the Foreign Office's advice, but while she used to visit up to six times per year, she now goes less frequently because of concerns about insurance for her children.
"I have been going with friends, but obviously I have not been taking my three children.
"This is purely because of insurance reasons: if I slip and break my leg, I get on a plane to come home and deal with it at a hospital in the UK, but it would be irresponsible of me to expect one of my children to board an aircraft whilst unwell.
"Tunisia is a fantastic country with the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life.

"It was heartbreaking when I went there in November and only 30 people were staying at a hotel with a capacity for 1,500.
"The [entertainment] team still worked, and the restaurant was open.
"I keep in touch with the staff and feel sorry for them.
"Currently, I'm going on holiday with my children to other places, and - as lovely as they are and as nice as the people are - I feel no loyalty to these other hotels or their members of staff.
"Nowhere else in the world has got my heart like Tunisia."
James Callaghan does not think it is a good idea to travel to Tunisia at the moment.
He has just come back from Lanzarote and is planning visits to Spain and Greece later this year.
"I wouldn't go to Tunisia even if the government's travel advice was relaxed," he says.
"In fact, I feel the whole of the Middle East is 'out of bounds' now and will be for some time.
"It's a shame, but why take the risk?
"There are plenty of other places to holiday.
"Nowhere is completely safe, but you have to weigh the odds even if the risk in Tunisia is small.
"I'd feel very unrelaxed in any of the North African holiday destinations, including on the flights to and from.
"That's not what holidays are about."
Lisa's husband is Tunisian, and they have not travelled to his home country since last year.
She says she would definitely go there if the guidance was changed.
"I know lots of people that still travel, but with a child I would prefer to have insurance in place," she says.
"This makes family life difficult: we missed a wedding in Tunisia and my husband missed his brother's engagement last month.
"One of his cousins works in hotels and has not been working a lot of the time.
"The downturn also has a knock-on effect on shops and other businesses.
"If tourism doesn't pick up soon, the unemployed men will be easy pickings for extremist recruiters.
"Tunisia is such a lovely country, and the people are friendly and welcoming.
"It is a shame to see how this whole country is suffering because of the acts of a few.
"It is safer in Tunisia than a lot of other tourist destinations, but this is the only country with the Foreign Office advice against going.
"Let people make up their own minds."

35,681,240 | Ashley Guindon had been responding to a domestic dispute in Woodbridge, Virginia, about 32 km (20 miles) south of Washington, DC.
Two of her colleagues were also injured in the shooting and are in hospital, but no details have been released about their condition.
The suspect, a military serviceman, was unharmed and is now in police custody.
The suspect killed his wife then opened fire on officers as they approached, a police official told the AP news agency.
There was also a child in the house at the time of the incident, he said.
Guindon had been a county police officer previously, the Associated Press reported, but Saturday was her first day back on shift in her new role.
"It is with profound sadness that we announce that Prince William County Police Officer Ashley Guindon, one of the officers involved in this evening's shooting on Lashmere Ct, has died as a result of her injuries sustained during the incident," her department said in a statement on Saturday.

40,144,753 | Inter have been without a permanent manager since the dismissal of Stefano Piolo on 9 May.
Inter and Spalletti verbally confirmed a two-year deal today in Florence and the contract will be signed at the beginning of next week.
Spalletti, 58, finished second with Roma this season in Serie A but left on 30 May after 16 months in charge.
Inter's ambitious Chinese owners, the Suning Group, are keen to restore the club's fortunes after a seventh-place finish in Serie A this season.
If Spalletti is appointed, one of his first tasks will be to resolve the future of Croatia winger Ivan Perisic.
Manchester United have spoken to Inter about the £45m-rated player but no deal has been agreed.
Perisic scored 11 goals in 36 league appearances for Inter during a troubled campaign, which included the departure of Roberto Mancini during pre-season.

18,247,659 | The magnitude 5.8 quake hit the Emilia Romagna region, damaging buildings and causing panic among residents living in tents after the earthquake on 20 May.
That quake killed seven people and caused significant damage to the region's cultural heritage.
The number of people made homeless has now gone up from 6,000 to 14,000, the Italian government says.
At least seven people are missing, and there are fears that a number of others may be buried under the rubble.
Prime Minister Mario Monti said his government would "do everything we must do and is possible to do in the shortest possible time to guarantee a return to normal life in this area, that is so special, so important, so productive for Italy".
Government troops have been sent to the affected areas, and an emergency cabinet meeting will be held on Wednesday.
Tuesday's quake struck 40km (25 miles) north of Bologna at a depth of 9.6km (six miles) at about 09:03 local time (07:03 GMT).
Thousands of residents ran out of buildings after the tremor, which was felt as far away as Venice and the Austrian border.
The towns of Mirandola, Medolla and Cavezzo were closest to the epicentre, but the northern cities of Milan and Bologna were shaken too.
Among the dead were four people in Mirandola, including two who were in a factory that collapsed. Three people also died in San Felice, and two in Cavezzo.
In Mirandola, the San Francis church collapsed, leaving only its facade standing.
Three people were killed at a factory that had only been cleared for re-entry on Monday, following the 20 May quake, the Corriere della Sera news website says.

Crevalcore is a very small town with a historic centre which is completely blocked off. Some buildings have huge cracks, one chimney top is skewed on a roof.
Many buildings have staircases coming away from the walls.
People are hanging around in the streets, waiting to find out if they can go back into their homes.
I walked past an old people's home and everyone was in the garden.
People are absolutely terrified. Many have been unable to sleep properly since the first quake and are worried about losing their homes.
A train with 450 beds on board has been brought in for people to sleep in overnight because the buildings really aren't accessible.
The schools opened this morning, but the teachers evacuated them immediately. The walls were shaking - which was terrifying for the children.
Quiet terror of earthquake victims
A parish priest in the town of Rovereto di Novi is reported to have been killed by a falling beam when he went back into his church to save a Madonna statue.
"It's a disaster, I've never seen anything like it," Cavezzo Mayor Stefano Draghetti was quoted as saying by Reuters.
Christopher Gilbert, a Londoner living in Modena, said he felt "a rolling earthquake lasting around 15 seconds - people were quite frightened".
"I was having a coffee when the quake struck and felt a swaying motion so I clutched onto a bar in the cafe to steady myself. Schools and offices were evacuated," he told the BBC.
Chris Brewerton, living in Mantua, told the BBC that Tuesday's quake appeared stronger than the one on 20 May, which was 6.0 in magnitude. Mantua is 58km (36 miles) north of Modena.
"The chair starts shaking and there's a feeling of waves below me," he said. "I rush out into the garden; the shutters and garage door are banging, the ground below me swaying."
There were several aftershocks since, including a large one at about midday which sent people out into the streets in cities up to 100km away, the BBC's Mark Duff reports from northern Italy.
In Pisa, offices were evacuated as a precautionary measure while there were moments of panic in Venice, where a statue fell to the ground.
Pictures from the worst-affected areas show factories and office blocks reduced to rubble.
Firemen with dogs are now trawling through what remains of the buildings for survivors.
Calls to emergency services have overloaded the telephone network in some areas, causing a system blackout. Train services have been halted in some parts of northern Italy.
Emilia Romagna - one of Italy's most agriculturally productive areas famous for many delicacies - has been struggling to recover from the previous quake.
Reports say that Tuesday's tremor dealt a blow to the region's world-famous balsamic vinegar industry - after the previous quake nine days ago hit Parmesan production.
A friendly match between Italy and Luxembourg ahead of the Euro 2012 football championships, due to be played in the northern city of Parma on Tuesday, has been called off.

38,928,776 | Revenues rose 13.1% to 51.2bn euros (£43.6bn) last year, slightly ahead of expectations, while net income jumped by nearly 20% to 3.54bn euros.
Earlier this week, Renault said it had sold 3.2 million vehicles last year, a 13.4% rise on 2015, with market share rising in all regions.
The firm's sales have now overtaken French rival Peugeot Citroen.
Renault's financial director Clotilde Delbos said 2016 had been "a very good year" for the carmaker, and the company had hit all of its targets.
"These objectives, in particular that of exceeding 50bn euros in sales, have been achieved by 2016," she told a news conference.
She added that the results had been achieved despite markets such as Brazil and Russia that "count a lot for us and which were strong in the past" but were still at "lower levels than in the past".
Renault said it expected the global car market to grow by between 1.5% and 2% next year, with sales in Europe and France up 2%.
It forecasts the markets in Brazil and Russia will be "stable", but expects 5% growth in China and the Indian market to expand by 8%.
Last month, French authorities said they would investigate Renault over suspected "cheating" in diesel emissions tests.
The Paris prosecutors office is to conduct a probe into "cheating on key parts" of vehicles and into the quality of the tests.

32,064,305 | The 2 Sisters chicken processing factory in Llangefni is consulting staff on plans to cut a whole shift of workers, affecting 300 jobs.
Dr Alexandra Plows from Bangor University said it would be difficult for workers to find new employment.
The consultation period on the job losses comes to an end on 6 April.
Speaking on Radio Cymru's current affairs programme Manylu Dr Plows, a researcher at the university's school of social sciences, said: "We've faced a serious situation for a long time - like a slow motion car crash.
"There's a gap in the employment market, particularly with big employers. We've seen other major employers like Peboc, the Gaerwen abattoir and Anglesey Aluminium close."
Unite union representative Paddy McNought said: "Even with the agency workers we've estimated that about 50% of them live locally so you're talking about 200 who live locally losing their jobs."

33,320,393 | Starting on 27 November, the final Test of their three-match series will be under lights in Adelaide, with a pink ball and both teams wearing whites.
Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said he hoped the idea would increase interest in the game.
The New Zealand Cricket Players' Association said its members were "nervous" about the experiment.
NZCPA chief executive Heath Mills indicated concerns about the difficulties of playing Test cricket under varying light and of dealing with the pink ball.
He said: "It's uncharted territory and because of that there will be uncertainty and apprehension."
Mills added that, despite their reservations, the players could see the "greater good it brings to all levels of the game".
The pink ball is designed to be visible under floodlights, while still allowing players to wear traditional whites.
Cricket Australia has carried out tests during domestic competitions in an attempt to allay concerns that the ball behaves differently to its red equivalent.
New Zealand Cricket agreed to the day-night match as part of a lucrative financial package secured by arranging their first Test series against Australia since 2011.
Sutherland said: "One of the global challenges with Test cricket is that most of the matches outside holiday periods are played on weekdays, in the middle of the day when people are at work and kids are at school.
"By shifting the playing times, each day's play can go into the evening and allow people to come in after work or after school to attend the last few hours of play."
He added it would also allow people "in other parts of the world or other parts of the country" to watch more television coverage of the match.
As part of the break with tradition, the intervals between sessions - traditionally lunch and tea - will be renamed tea and dinner. | Australia and New Zealand will meet in cricket's first day-night Test match later this year. |
40,640,810 | It is already illegal to sell knives to under-18s, but young people have been able to buy them online, according to the home secretary.
New measures would prohibit blades from being delivered to a private property.
Instead, customers would have to collect it from a physical shop, where retailers would check their identity.
Under current law, it is illegal to sell a blade of more than three inches (7.62cm) to anyone under 18 - but reports have warned online age verification checks can be sidestepped. In Scotland, 16 to 18-year-olds are allowed to buy cutlery and kitchen knives.
The courts dealt with more than 19,000 knife possession cases in England and Wales last year - the highest number since 2011.
"At the moment you have to do it by the click of a button.
"What we are proposing is that if you want to buy a knife online it has to be collected from a place where you have to show your ID," Home Secretary Amber Rudd explained.
"We have evidence that young people have been able to buy knives without verifying their ID and I want to stop that."
Calls to review online sales intensified after the fatal stabbing of Aberdeen schoolboy Bailey Gwynne in 2015.
The teenage killer, who was jailed for nine years, had bought the knife online.
An inquiry that followed the case recommended "further legislative controls on the purchase of weapons online".
Ms Rudd said almost three-quarters of online retailers which should carry out age verification checks were not doing so.
One under-18 was able to get a knife by having it delivered to their mother's shed, the home secretary added.
Ministers also want to give police in England and Wales powers to seize banned knives.
By banning the possession of outlawed weapons - such as "zombie knives" and knuckledusters - on private property, officers would be able to seize them and make arrests.
Ms Rudd said this would help begin to "break that cycle of danger and violence that's so blighting communities".
Those who keep weapons for legitimate purposes, such as cultural items or antiques, would not be penalised.
The proposals will be considered as part of a consultation to be launched later this year. | Online shoppers buying knives could be forced to collect them in person in England and Wales, if plans to stop children purchasing blades go ahead. |

The 2012 team dressage gold medallist won the freestyle dressage title at the London International Horse Show.
"Last year I competed there and came fifth and it was quite a difficult ride, but it was totally different this year," Hester told BBC Radio Guernsey.

Hester beat Olympic individual dressage gold medallist and stable mate Charlotte Dujardin to the title at Olympia, and says the pair are hoping they will be selected for the 2016 Olympics.
"He (Nip Tuck) was fifth at the European Championships this year and we won the team silver, so we're definitely in the running for Rio," added Hester.
"So far Charlotte and I are in the top 10 at the moment in the world rankings.

37,400,372 | The government has launched a review of school governance, aiming to "empower" teachers to make their own decisions.
Mr Swinney told the BBC there could be "further financial flexibility devolved to individual schools" which formerly would have lain with councils.
Some council leaders have voiced fears about their role being reduced.
The consultation will run into January 2017, and will be the basis for specific proposals drawn up by the government.
Speaking on the Sunday Politics Scotland programme, Mr Swinney said it was "entirely conceivable" that some power could transfer from councils to head teachers.
He said: "There may be some decisions that are taken by local authorities that would be taken by schools instead.
"So for example, if further financial flexibility is devolved to individual schools, and they are able to take decisions about the way resources are used within schools, then conceivably some of these decisions would have been taken by local authorities in the past.
"That's entirely conceivable that that's what could happen, because it would give the schools the ability to take decisions that relate directly to the educational opportunities of young people in Scotland.
"But I've made it also clear that I want local authorities to retain democratic control over education services within Scotland, but that I want to encourage a much greater degree of co-operation between local authorities in how they use their services to add value to the educational experience of young people at a local level."
Asked if this would "erode" democratic accountability of schools to councils, Mr Swinney said there needed to be a debate about decision-making in the education system.
He said: "There has to be democratic accountability in all aspects of our public services, and part of our consultation is exploring how we can take that forward to ensure that we have that necessary relationship of accountability.
"Fundamentally, the question that the consultation is asking is how can we best structure Scottish education that ensures the key educational relationship, between teachers and pupils, is enhanced and supported by the intervention of other bodies and institutions.
"I believe it's in the best interests of the educational journey of young people if decisions about those young people are taken as close to them as possible within schools.
"So I want to open up a debate about what are the right issues and questions and decisions that should be taken close to young people ins schools, and what should be taken at another level."
Teaching leaders have cautiously welcomed Mr Swinney's review, but warned against compromising local democratic accountability.
Larry Flanagan, of the Educational Institute of Scotland, the country's largest teaching union, said the Scottish model was superior to the "disasters" taking place in the rest of the UK.
When the review was announced, he said: "The Scottish government has made clear that it does not intend to take schools out of local authority control nor does it intend to mimic the disasters of UK policy in terms of academies or free schools. That is to be welcomed.
"In Scotland, there remains a widely-shared continuing commitment to the core ethos of our highly inclusive system of comprehensive education.
"At a time when the UK government seems determined to embed division - largely based around socio-economic factors - within its school system, it is important that we take a different approach here in Scotland."
The Scottish Conservatives have welcomed the idea of schools having more power, but warned that this "must not be a Trojan Horse for yet more centralisation".
Education spokeswoman Liz Smith said: "We have been calling on the Scottish government for years to drive more control and power down to schools.
"If this is what is going to happen under this review, then that is to be welcomed. But as ever with this SNP government, it will need to be watched carefully to make sure it delivers on its promises." | The Scottish government may seek to give funding directly to schools rather than via local authorities, Education Secretary John Swinney has said. |
36,258,515 | The study found the "moderately" overweight now had lower rates of early death than those who were normal weight, underweight or obese.
The work, published in JAMA, looked at many thousands of people's height, weight and death rates at three different time periods since the 1970s.
A UK doctor said it did not mean being overweight was healthy or desirable.
And advice about preventing obesity should remain.
A person's body mass index (BMI) is calculated by dividing their weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters.
In the mid-1970s, those with the lowest death rates were a normal weight and the obese faced a 30% higher risk of early death, the doctors, from Copenhagen University, found.
But now the threat to people's survival from being obese was now almost negligible
The authors say the most likely explanation is that health systems are now much better at treating obesity-linked conditions, such as high cholesterol and blood pressure.
Lead investigator Prof Borge Nordestgaard said: "Our results should not be interpreted as suggesting that now people can eat as much as they like, or that so-called normal-weight individuals should eat more to become overweight.
"That said, maybe overweight people need not be quite as worried about their weight as before."
The Danish researchers say their work shows a need to update the global categories that define excess weight, which are now two decades old.
But that idea was rejected by a British expert in metabolic medicine.
Prof Naveed Sattar, from the University of Glasgow, said: "These data are of interest, but they do not change advice we have been giving on obesity and its treatment and prevention.
"The current findings do not mean that being overweight is protecting you from death, far from it.
"Obesity and overweight categories also signal risks for many diseases - such as type-2 diabetes, liver disease, cancers, sleeping problems, multiple pregnancy complications, to name but a few.
"Although we can manage many of those much better these days, such complications also impair quality of life and self-esteem, as well as increase health costs for societies." | Being overweight may not be as unhealthy as it was 40 years ago, Danish research suggests. |
38,209,067 | Cook, 31, holds England records for Test runs, caps and matches as captain.
Last month the opening batsman hinted he may stand down after the current tour of India, saying: "It could be two months, it could be a year."
Bayliss told BBC Test Match Special: "He's talking about the next Ashes series and being out in Australia."
The Australian added: "Sometimes there are little comments made along the way and they get blown out of all proportion.
"He's certainly up for the fight. I haven't had any discussion with him any other way and that's what we've been working towards.
"I was as surprised as anyone when I saw that in the papers."
England trail India 2-0 in the five-Test series, with the fourth match in Mumbai starting on Thursday.
Cook, who made his Test debut in India in 2006, has scored 10,934 runs at an average of 46.72 in 138 Tests, winning 24 of his 57 matches in charge.
Under Cook, England won the 2013 and 2015 Ashes on home soil, but lost 5-0 in Australia in 2013-14, only the third whitewash in Ashes history.
Michael Vaughan holds the England record of 26 Test wins as captain.

A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and bailed while inquiries continue.
The attack took place in the city's market place on 29 August.
Mr Falivena's partner, Sophie Oakes, mother of his three-year-old daughter, said: "I love him so much and will miss him always.
"I promise to carry on making him proud and looking after our beautiful princess.

40,245,067 | The company has identified the Middle East and Asia as new markets for potential growth, but said expansion would require further investment.
It said that it would therefore examine its options, which could include the sale of part or all of the business.
The firm was set up by Edward Stanley Gibbons in 1856 and is the world's longest established rare stamp trader.
It opened its first shop in 1891 on The Strand in London where it continues to trade from today. It also has overseas sites in Hong Kong and Singapore.
The company also sells coins and antiques, but is best known for its rare stamps business.
In April, it achieved a record for Indian stamps when a set of four featuring the portrait of Gandhi was sold for £500,000.
The company said it had undergone a major restructuring recently and had cut costs by more than £10m.
Commenting on exploring new global markets, Stanley Gibbons said: "Unlocking this incremental long-term value is likely to require further investment and the directors believe that it is likely therefore that such value is best delivered either within a larger group or alongside a strategic investment."
On Friday, Stanley Gibbons said it had received an approach regarded as a possible offer by Disruptive Capital Finance.
Disruptive is led by City financier Edi Truell, a former pensions adviser to Boris Johnson when he was mayor of London.
On Monday, however, Disruptive said it was not making an offer for Stanley Gibbons.
Disruptive said that on 31 May it had been informed by Stanley Gibbons "that an email we had sent them was interpreted by them as an approach" under the UK's Takeover rules.
It added that it had been in discussions with Stanley Gibbons's management "for some time".

This year the 100th anniversary of Welles' birth is being celebrated.
The movie has been described as "a scathing tale of friendship, betrayal, media and ambition in Hollywood".
Fans have until 14 June to donate, with perks including limited edition film prints and invitations to the movie's world premiere on offer for donations.
"Had crowdfunding been around in the 1970s, I believe Orson would have embraced it as a way of engaging filmgoers directly," said one of the movie's producers, Filip Jan Rymsza.
"Shot over five years in multiple formats, finishing the film is a huge technical undertaking."
Welles' daughter Beatrice has also put her name to the campaign.
"My father struggled his whole life to find funding to finish his pictures, but never as much as he did for this one," she said.
"He would truly be ecstatic to know that it was the people who really cared about his work who, in the end, brought his last dream to fruition." | A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to complete Orson Welles' unfinished final film. |

Gainsborough's The Morning Walk, part of the permanent British Paintings exhibition, was damaged on Saturday.
The painting has been removed from display until it is restored.
The 18th Century work depicts couple William Hallett and Elizabeth Stephen walking through a woodland landscape.
Dr Gabriele Finaldi, director of the National Gallery, said The Morning Walk was one of Gainsborough's "most famous" works.
He told the BBC: "It has all the dreamy, beautiful feathery brushstrokes of Gainsborough.
"When people think of Gainsborough, The Morning Walk may well be one of the first pictures that comes to their mind."

She said by "incredible luck" a man watching the webcam saw her and phoned his mother who lives in Boscastle.
She then helped Mrs Davies who was treated in hospital.
More on the rescue story, plus more Devon and Cornwall news
Mrs Davies, from St Teath, had gone into the seaside town to get a present for her son.
"I crossed over the road and my left foot shot out in front of me and I just went down," she said.
Minutes later Becky Galvin, who lives in Boscastle, got a call from her son in Worcester.
"I suddenly noticed this lady coming to me and we hobbled back to her place," said Mrs Davies.
"It was amazing that someone in Worcester saw me lying there and and phoned his mum to say 'Can you help her?'"
She said there was nobody around as the weather was bad.
"I was in a lot of pain, so just laid there getting my breath, unable to move hoping things would improve.
"It just shows you how lovely people are really at heart doesn't it?
"They are absolutely wonderful people."
And she did not know there was a webcam, at the Riverside Hotel.
Owner Ross said: "I love the webcam, it was installed for visitors and friends to keep in touch with Boscastle.
"It's used all round the world and it's great that it's been used to help this particular lady."

The Ox is billed as "the world's first flat-pack van" - a two-wheel drive, off-roader made of marine plywood that can be assembled by non-experts in under 12 hours and travel 1,000km (620 miles) without filling up.
It's aimed at remote areas of, say Africa, where transporting food or equipment over difficult terrain is a problem.

27,437,339 | Sian O'Callaghan, from Swindon, was killed by taxi driver Christopher Halliwell, who had picked her up outside a nightclub.
The boots and a shotgun were found in a pond in Ramsbury, Wiltshire.
Halliwell pleaded guilty to killing Miss O'Callaghan but was not tried for a second murder after leading police to Becky Godden's buried body.
A police spokesman said: "Detectives are keeping an open mind as to why the gun would be in this location.
"Searches will continue over the weekend with fingertip searches and a specialist dive team from Avon and Somerset."
Miss O'Callaghan died from a single stab wound to the head. She was not shot.
The single-barrelled shotgun was discovered at about 16:00 BST.
Det Supt Steve Fulcher, who quit his job on Thursday, did not caution Halliwell before he led detectives to the field in Gloucestershire.
Halliwell pleaded guilty to murdering Miss O'Callaghan and was jailed for 25 years in October 2012.
Her body was found after an extensive police search at the Uffington White Horse in Oxfordshire.
A police search has begun where the boots were found in Wiltshire, the second of which was retrieved from the water as reporters watched.
Det Ch Insp Sean Memory said he believed that Miss O'Callaghan may have been murdered at the scene before her body was moved to Uffington.
He added they were hopeful they might retrieve other items belonging to Miss O'Callaghan that were not found in the original inquiry.
He said a bag, mobile phone and jewellery were among the items missing.
"This is an important find and we are conducting thorough and detailed searches of the area," said Det Ch Insp Memory.
"There are other items of Sian's property outstanding [and] we will be focusing the search for these items but keeping an open mind on what we might find."
He added that Miss O'Callaghan's family were being kept up to date with developments.
At another recent police search, in Gloucestershire, a piece of bone from Miss Godden's body and "other items" were found but police have not revealed what they are. | Boots belonging to a woman who was murdered three years ago have been found, police say. |
39,890,426 | The Scotland captain returned from over two months on the sidelines with ankle ligament damage during April.
Laidlaw has been named on the bench for Gloucester in the Murrayfield showpiece against Stade Francais.
"I'm just delighted I'm back playing rugby, back fit, and that's the way I want to be and want to stay," he said.
"It's just about being sharp now when I get opportunities to play."
Should Laidlaw feature in the second-tier European final, it will be his fourth outing since recovering from the injury he sustained in Scotland's Six Nations defeat by France.
'It has been a season of ups and downs'
The scrum-half helped Gloucester lift the Challenge Cup in 2015, beating former side Edinburgh in the final.
And victory on Friday would earn the Cherry and Whites an opportunity to qualify for next season's top-tier Champions Cup competition, via a play-off.
"It's probably been touched on already with my injury that the coaches feel the team's been quite settled," Laidlaw continued.
"It's been tough for me to get some rugby under my belt with the nature of my injury, so I'll play my part.
"We know what it's like to win it and the good feeling that comes with it and, with that, it gives the club an opportunity to get into the Champions Cup as well.
"It's been a busy week, but if we can win on Friday, it'll make it a better week. We're all focused on winning the game."
Earlier this month, Laidlaw was added to the British and Irish Lions squad for the summer tour of New Zealand, replacing English counterpart Ben Youngs.
Gloucester currently sit ninth in the Aviva Premiership table and the Jedburgh native, who has 58 Scotland caps, admits it has been a season of highs and lows personally - and for his team.
"I suppose it has been a season of ups and downs - you get injured, you get back, I've been pulled into the Lions squad, which is a great upside, and I'm just delighted to get back fit," Laidlaw said.
"I thought I played pretty well last week [against Exeter Chiefs]; it was good to start and I'm feeling sharper and sharper day in, day out.
"We've had a bit of an up and down season in terms of the Premiership, but winning silverware is what it's all about.
"We'll need a big effort; we're playing a quality team. We need to put in a good performance on the field - if we do that, it's a wonderful track out there. " | Greig Laidlaw says he is thrilled simply to be playing rugby again as he prepares for Friday's European Challenge Cup final at Murrayfield. |

The two women also admitted religiously aggravated public order offences in relation to the targeting of the Totterdown mosque.
All four were given a restraining order preventing them from going within 100m of a mosque anywhere in England or Wales for the next 10 years.

The group had previously warned sales were likely to decline over the period.
Sales at Homebase were £438m, up 5.4%, partly due to stock clearance sales resulting from store closures.
"The performance at Argos in the quarter was broadly in line with both our expectations and previous guidance, with sales being adversely impacted by market declines in key electrical and seasonal product categories," said Home Retail Group chief John Walden.

35,491,036 | Unlike the character he played, the gentle medic Private Charles Godfrey, who was a conscientious objector in World War One, Ridley experienced hand-to-hand fighting in the trenches and was seriously injured by a German wielding a bayonet.
On Desert Island Discs in 1973, the playwright and actor described his first stint in the Army as "those dismal days" but added: "You know, memory is a strange thing. After a lapse of time, even the most miserable set of circumstances, roses seem to grow round them a little bit."
Roses, though, did not grow around his memories of World War Two, and while he could talk about his service in the first war, the "mental suffering" he experienced meant he would not speak of his time in the second.
He said: "To recount events, I would have to relive them. I am too afraid."
Born in Bath in 1896 and educated at Bristol University, Ridley made his acting debut in a production of Prunella at Bristol's Theatre Royal in 1913. But his stage career was put on hold with the advent of the Great War.
He had originally volunteered in 1914 at the age of 18, but was turned down as he had a broken toe sustained while playing rugby.
But the following year he was accepted by the Somerset Light Infantry and was stationed in Plymouth.
Years later, in an interview with the BBC, he admitted to being horribly homesick, having to cope with a "sadistic" regimental sergeant major and facing the prospect he might never survive the horrors of trench warfare.
He said: "I thought I was doing my duty for my country. I didn't know I was going to be treated like a convict. Did it make better soldiers of the callow youths we were then? I doubt it."
Private Ridley arrived in Arras in March 1916. He had removed his marksman's badge because he did not want to be made a sniper. He later commented: "I didn't go to France to murder people."
Within days of arriving he was hit in the back by shrapnel and shot through the thigh.
He had recovered by July 1916, and returned to the Western Front in time to take part in the Battle of the Somme.
The 20-year-old Ridley went into no man's land on 18 August. Fifteen of the men in his group were killed or seriously injured soon after leaving the trenches, when a preliminary barrage was dropped on them instead of the German machine-gun posts.
During the attempt to reach Delville Wood, Ridley's battalion suffered nearly 50% casualties. He later pointed out: "It wasn't a question of 'if I get killed', it was merely a question of 'when I get killed'.
"The trenches were full of water and I can remember getting out of the trench and lying on the parapet with the bullets flying around, because sleep was such a necessity and death only meant sleep."
Although a German bayonet was thrust into his left hand, cutting the tendons to his fingers, he survived. Ridley said "It's not altogether a right thought for a young man to hope he's been maimed for life - but I did. I thought 'well, if I've lost my hand I shall live. They can't send me out there again'."
After recovering in England, he faced the British Army Travelling Medical Board. A doctor suggested his hand injury was self-inflicted.
Ridley said he replied: "Yes, sir. My battalion is famous for self-inflicted wounds and just to make sure I cracked my skull with a rifle butt as well and ran a bayonet into my groin."
He was discharged from the British army on 27 August 1917.
Later that year he was given a white feather (a symbol of cowardice) by a woman in the street. He took it without comment.
When he was asked why a returning soldier would be treated in such a way, he answered: "I wasn't wearing my soldier's discharge badge. I didn't want to advertise the fact that I was a wounded soldier and I used to carry it in my pocket."
It can be seen as a foreshadow of the episode Dad's Army in which Godfrey is revealed to have been a conscientious objector in World War One.
The gentle medic has to face the wrath of the blustering and unsympathetic Captain Mainwaring - who derided him as a "conchie" - but it is later revealed that Godfrey had been a stretcher-bearer in the trenches, saved lives in the Somme and been awarded the Military Medal for exceptional bravery.
The time between the wars was an opportunity for Ridley to resume his career. In 1919 he joined the Repertory Theatre in Birmingham, appearing in more than 40 productions, and in 1923 he wrote the mystery thriller The Ghost Train, the most successful of his plays.
But they were not always good times - his wartime experiences led him to have nightmares. He said: "I would wake up drenched in sweat, sometimes I was afraid I would black out when I was on stage."
The outbreak of World War Two saw him join the British Expeditionary Force as an intelligence officer.
Ridley, now a major, was sent to France in 1939. He later admitted: "Within hours of setting foot on the quay at Cherbourg in September 1939, I was suffering from acute shell shock again. It is quite possible that outwardly I showed little, if any, of it.
"It took the form of mental suffering that at best could be described as an inverted nightmare."
Ridley was evacuated from Dunkirk in May 1940 and, aged 44, was demobilised from the Army. He joined the Local Defence Volunteers - the organisation that later became the Home Guard - before touring bases entertaining the troops.
He appeared in numerous shows through the 1950s and 60s, including The Archers and Crossroads, until he was cast, aged 72, in Dad's Army in 1968. He played the role of Godfrey until the series finished in 1977.
Ridley married three times and had one child, Nicolas. He is also the great-uncle of Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, although he died aged 88 in 1984 - eight years before she was born.
He was awarded the OBE in 1982 - but for services to drama, not his heroic exploits in two world wars.

37,463,985 | Rickie Lambert's first goals for his new club helped Cardiff out of the Championship bottom three and eased the pressure on their new manager.
Trollope received backing from Cardiff's board this week despite only being appointed in the summer.
"Of course [we are relieved] we have been disappointed with the run that we have been on," Trollope told BBC Wales.
"We are disappointed with our league position, but we have got the quality to turn things around.
"When you've been on a run like this, then of course confidence and belief takes a dip and creates a difficult situation.
"But we showed the spirit of the group and the resilience."
Trollope hopes the victory over the Millers will silence critics of the club after Lambert's firm header and deflected winner gave the Bluebirds a first away victory since March.
"It is a big statement to our detractors, to roar back from a goal down, especially on the run we have been on, was a real big statement from the group and I am really proud of that," he said.
"We looked at a lot of things over the last few weeks to try and turn thing around.
"For the winning goal we had a bit of luck, but we were due some. We had a huge desire."
Trollope said the experience of England striker Lambert, a free transfer arrival from West Brom on transfer deadline day, would be crucial to the Bluebirds' prospects of climbing the table.
Rickie Lambert has got the respect of the dressing because of what he has done in his career," he said.

36,263,701 | The company announced a net loss of 13.1bn yen ($120.5m, £83m) for its financial year ending in March.
It has been hit by a huge recall of faulty, potentially deadly, airbags used by car makers worldwide, which may affect more than 100 million vehicles.
The fault has been linked to the loss of 11 lives and more than 100 injuries.
Takata has acknowledged some airbag inflators explode with too much force and spray metal shrapnel into the car.
Takata has paid out $70m (£48m) in fines so far and the company's market value has dropped more than 80% since 2014.
Some 50 million vehicles have been recalled globally and last week, US authorities added up to 40 million more.
US regulators believe the volatile chemical used in the inflators, ammonium nitrate, can cause airbags to explode with excessive force.
Globally, 12 car makers are affected with Japan's Honda being the worst hit.

Several automakers, including Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Ford have said they will stop using Takata airbags containing ammonium nitrate for their future models.
The firm also produces seatbelts, child seats, and other safety-related car parts.
For the current year, Takata forecast a net profit of 13bn yen.

35,830,275 | And there are others who don't need as much money as they're getting.
That in essence has been the view of successive governments as they've tried to reduce the amount the state pays in disability benefits.
It assumes there is a large group of undeserving benefit recipients that can be flushed out with increasingly focused assessments. The evidence, however, suggests that's simply not true.
Following Wednesday's budget announcements, the immediate focus is on PIP, Personal Independence Payment, which is replacing Disability Living Allowance. The government plans to tighten the criteria for the benefit, saving £1.3bn by 2020, and affecting 640,000 people.
Claimants, including those currently on DLA, are assessed for their eligibility by the DWP. It's a two-step process. People complete a self-assessment form and supply medical evidence, before undergoing a test carried out by Atos or Capita on behalf of the government.
The aim of PIP is to ensure people get the right help - and to save money. But consistently, officials have had to increase the cost of the benefit.
In October 2014, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecast that spending on disability benefits between 2015 and 2019 would total £55.9bn. In its forecast on Wednesday, that figure had risen to £66.4bn - an increase of £10.5bn.
The OBR said the rising costs were because of higher-than-expected caseloads - and people getting more money than ministers had predicted. The average payout is now £100 a week, 14% higher than expected.
"The introduction of PIP is generating much smaller savings than the government was aiming for," it said.
Even if the government manages to push through its latest reforms, and some Tory MPs are said to be queasy at the prospect, costs will still increase according to the OBR - to £17.7bn in 2019-20 and £18.2bn in 2020-21.
PIPs are benefit payments to help people aged 16-64 with "some of the extra costs caused by long-term ill-health or a disability".
They are available to employed and unemployed people and claimants can receive between £21.80 and £139.75 a week, depending on how their condition affects them.
This is determined by an assessment and claimants are regularly reassessed.
From April 2013, PIPs began replacing Disability Living Allowance.
This process is ongoing and the government says everyone who needs to switch to PIPs should have been contacted by late 2017.
Costs have also risen because claimants are being increasingly successful in appealing against officials' decisions, often helped by charities. The DWP hope to stop that - a little-noted item in the Budget gave the DWP £22m to hire more staff to attend to the appeals and put the department's case.
The problems with PIP are mirrored by ESA, Employment and Support Allowance, the main sickness benefit.
When the Labour government announced the idea in 2006, they predicted that within a decade, a million fewer people would be claiming it than the payment it was replacing, incapacity benefit (IB).
A decade later, the number of ESA recipients is virtually the same as those who were getting IB in 2006. Internal DWP documents I saw in 2014 described ESA as "one of the largest fiscal risks currently facing the government". Costs since then have continued to rise.
With so many errant forecasts, it's little wonder the OBR said that the over-optimism about how much welfare changes will save is an ongoing problem.
But despite these challenges, the OBR also concluded that the government is on track by 2020-21 to spend the lowest amount on welfare, as a percentage of GDP, in 30 years. | There are people getting disability benefits who don't deserve them. |
38,488,863 | Sunday's riot involved dozens of locals enraged by the killing of a 21-year-old Polish man, identified only as Daniel R, outside a kebab restaurant.
Investigators believe the Tunisian cook, 26, confronted Daniel R after he and another Pole stole two bottles of drink from the premises on Saturday.
Police detained 28 during the unrest.
Early on Sunday angry local Poles smashed some of Prince Kebab's windows and at least one firecracker was thrown at the restaurant. Anti-foreigner slogans were chanted, the Associated Press reports.
When police formed a cordon outside there were scuffles, as some rioters threw bottles and stones, and police resorted to using tear gas, Polish media reported.
The reports say the Tunisian has admitted taking a knife from the restaurant before running out after the two men.
Autopsy results are still awaited to determine the exact cause of death of Daniel R.

31,706,447 | Anthony Crook, 37, from Clacton, was working in Dubai when his image was released by Essex Police in 2010.
He was not prosecuted, but the force said publication was in the public interest. A judge at the High Court disagreed and said it was not "necessary and proportionate".
Mr Crook was awarded £67,750.
Judge Deborah Taylor said sex offences carry a great stigma and the release of his image, name and allegation was a violation of his human rights when more could have been done to locate him first.
"Whilst the press release was to local media, no consideration was given to the realities of modern technology: firstly, the potential for information to spread across the internet, and secondly, the difficulty once spread in eradicating that," she told the court.
"The police lost control of the data."
Mr Crook only found out about the article - alleging he was wanted and at large over an attack in Clacton - through his family.
It included an address for him and a photo taken when he was a teenager.
Mr Crook said the allegation was "malicious" and there was no need to publicise it, as he had already offered to speak to police to clear it up.
The result was that he was left "unemployed and unemployable", his lawyers told the High Court.
"I was financially in a very good place and that's completely wiped out overnight," he told Judge Taylor.
"The fact they didn't remove these things for such a long period of time made it impossible to get back into work and rebuild my life."
Police agreed to remove the story but it had already spread to other media around the world.
Mr Crook sued for breach of confidence, in publishing the old photo, and for breaches of the Data Protection Act and a violation of his human right to privacy.
Outside court, Mr Crook said he was "extremely happy" he had been vindicated.
"I now feel my name has been cleared and there has been an acknowledgement that the police had done wrong," he said.
The force, which contested the claims, was ordered on Monday to pay Mr Crook's legal costs of more than £100,000. | An ex-city banker has won nearly £70,000 in damages from police who named him in a "10 most wanted" list as an alleged rapist. |
35,688,761 | After Guiseley's Ollie Norburn lobbed Tom King from the throw-in, Braintree expected to be allowed a walk-in goal.
But Mark Bower's side played on, and the National League game finished 1-1.
"They decided a draw was more important than their integrity and reputation," Iron boss Danny Cowley told BBC Sport.
"For me, my integrity and dignity is worth much more than that."
Guiseley manager Bower said on Saturday that goalkeeper King "stood there with his arms in the air and allowed the ball to go in to the net".
Lions chairman Phil Rogerson said in a statement on Monday: "Having had time to sleep (or not) on the incident on Saturday, myself, Mark and the club find the situation most regrettable and not in line with the general ethos of Guiseley AFC. Fair play is and always has been at the heart of the club.
"The decision to continue playing as normal after the goal was taken on the spur of the moment and under extreme pressure, not helped at all by the heated atmosphere."
He added that he was advised by match referee Tom Nield the goal would have to be reported to the Football Association as an exceptional incident.
Cowley alleged that the referee had asked Bower to allow the Iron to score following Norburn's goal, an accusation Guiseley have categorically denied.
And Cowley said he bears no grudges toward the referee, adding: "For me it's not the referee's fault. He has to referee the game within the laws. It's up to us as players and managers to play within the spirit of the game and on this occasion that's been broken.
"We're disappointed with that, but we have to draw a line under the incident and carry the emotion - we have to make sure we use this to bring us closer together as a group.
"Ultimately, you either get bitter or get better after situations like this, and we're going to choose to get better."
The National League said it is "not prudent to make any comment until the outcomes of any FA investigation are made official".

33,107,087 | Naomi Haine Wilkins, 36, from Cwmbran, is hoping to raise £6,000 to train the dog for five-year-old Greyson, who was diagnosed when he was three.
Ms Wilkins has sent messages to thank the woman but has not received a reply.
She hopes a dog will be a companion for Greyson and reduce his anxiety.
Ms Wilkins said it began with a generous £50 donation from the stranger, and emailed her to say thank you.
"I have no idea who this woman is," she said.
"I asked her if there was any chance she could send me her address so I could send a little something to say thank you, with Greyson's hand print, something personal."
The woman did not respond, but the following day donated £4,000 with the message: "Go get your dog little man love to you and bless you
Ms Wilkins said: "Things like this don't happen to me of all people.
"I thought maybe it was an error, that she'd added an extra zero by mistake. I couldn't believe it, absolutely gobsmacked.
"She still hasn't replied to me so I guess the lady in question doesn't want a thank you or anything in return."
Ms Wilkins can now afford to put down a deposit for the dog.
She said: "He loves animals and he says he can't wait to play and dance with his dog.
"He has no perception of any dangers. He'll walk into ponds or in front of cars and a dog will be trained to guide him and respond to key words. It will also take some of the focus off me." | A woman from Torfaen said she was "gobsmacked" after a stranger donated £4,000 online to help buy her autistic son an assistance dog. |
38,159,772 | The Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme has left taxpayers with a multi-million pound bill.
David Sterling was permanent secretary at the Department of Enterprise Trade and Investment when the initiative was set up in 2012.
But generous subsidies and poor regulation meant it ran away from officials.
It could cost taxpayers up to £20m annually for 20 years to make up the funding shortfall.
That is money that will have to come out of the block grant.
Mr Sterling, who is now the permanent secretary at the Department of Finance, appeared before the assembly's Public Accounts committee this afternoon.
He said the subsidy rate and the failure to review the scheme after 18 months were the key issues and he had "no satisfactory answer" for why a planned review in January 2014 did not happen.
He left the department in July of that year.
DUP and Sinn Féin MLAs said he appeared to be attempting to "pass the blame" for the mismanagement of the scheme.
But Mr Sterling said he was not trying to "duck responsibility".
"I'm not seeking to pass the buck," he said. "I accept responsibility for failures which occurred during my time."
Mr Sterling said he was "not conscious" of the need to carry out the review in January 2014.
He said his recollection of the scheme was that it had been under-performing and had meant his department handing back money it could not spend.
Applications to the scheme subsequently increased when plans were announced to change the subsidy rate in 2015.
A 20-year commitment to make subsidy payments meant a spike in applications left officials with a massive bill.
It is estimated the scheme could now cost up more than £1bn. It was originally estimated to cost about half that. | A senior civil servant has denied "ducking responsibility" for a huge overspend on a green energy scheme. |
32,231,472 | Derby Cathedral is to have an £800,000 refurbishment and will be closed during the week until the end of August.
It means some services will be held at nearby St Mary's church, starting on Thursday evening.
An Association of English Cathedrals spokeswoman said she believed this had not happened before in the UK.
Derby Cathedral was awarded £660,000 in government grants and has raised more than £120,000 toward work on the heating, wiring and roof.
Lucille Parsisson, from the cathedral, said: "We are very grateful to St Mary's for helping us out but we have a very good relationship with them.
"It struck us that while Anglican church services had been held in Catholic churches before, we couldn't think of a time when a cathedral service had been.
"The curate did some research and found it was indeed the first time."
Ms Parsisson said they planned to use St Mary's three times a week for Evening Prayers or Evensong and the Anglican Chapel of St Mary on the Bridge in the morning.
A spokeswoman for the Association of English Cathedrals, which represents English Anglican cathedrals, said she could not recall an Anglican cathedral service ever being held in a Catholic church before. | Anglicans are to hold a cathedral service in a Roman Catholic Church in what is thought to be a first in the UK. |

37,026,149 | A local gun club, which already has access to indoor premises, has applied for permission for another site which is close to housing and schools.
The application is for a green field area on the Ballymacormick Road in Bangor, close to Groomsport village.
North Down and Ards Borough Council said the application was currently being assessed.
Some local politicians have expressed concerns at the proposed location of the range, although Jim Shannon, the DUP MP for Strangford, has written a letter in support of the application.
Bangor, Clandeboye and District Rifle and Pistol Club said they were committed to working with planners and the local community.
"The club welcomes hearing all views, good and bad, so they can be incorporated into the planning process to develop the necessary solutions," it said in a statement.
"The club wants to assure the local community they will be a good neighbour at all times, whether the application is successful or not."
Ulster Unionist MLA Alan Chambers said he had received 50 letters of objection, on top of nearly 250 which had been sent to the council.
"It obviously has caused a lot of concern in the area and a lot of objections have come in about it," said Mr Chambers.
"I've never seen any planning application attract the number of objections in such a short period of time.
"It's quite obvious it's completely unacceptable in this part of Bangor."
Reasons for complaints included noise from the site, its safety implications and an increase in traffic, said DUP councillor Peter Martin, who had also been contacted by a number of unhappy constituents.
"I'm supportive of shooting as a sport in Northern Ireland, I think if people want to engage in that, that's fine," he said.
"However, I do feel very clearly that the current application and where it's going to be situated is just not the right place, it is at the bottom of a residential road and I do not feel that that is the right position for a target range.
"I'd be saying to the club that they need to think about this and reconsider the location of this proposed range, there are plenty of places where this could be housed."
Heather Patton, who runs nearby Groomsport Playgroup, said she was really worried about the plans.
"The back garden where the children play would be approximately 200 metres from this gun range," she said.
"I also live in the village and would be overlooking the gun range. I have children that play."
Ms Patton said two prospective clients had already pulled their children from the playgroup's waiting list due to concerns about the shooting range.
Any shooting range of this nature would be heavily regulated, said the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC).
"A gun club of this type is heavily regulated by the PSNI under article 49 of the Northern Ireland Firearms Order and the Guidance on the Northern Ireland Firearms Controls which is a fairly stringent document," said BASC Northern Ireland Director Tommy Mayne.
"There's quite a few hoops to jump through."
In a statement, North Down and Ards Borough Council said the application was still under consideration.
"No recommendation will be made by the council's planning department until responses have been received from all of the statutory bodies that have been consulted and the proposal has been fully assessed," it said in a statement.
"This assessment will take into account all material planning considerations [such as traffic impact, impact on the residential amenity of nearby properties and any potential noise impact], including any representations received from third parties."
