Executive chairman Steve Morgan, who also owns Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, said there were significant growth opportunities in London and the regions.
Flintshire-based Redrow is offering the new shares at 130p each, an 11.1% premium to yesterday's close of 117p.
Mr Morgan founded Redrow in 1974.
Announcing the move, Mr Morgan said: "Redrow has made good progress under a strategy designed to return it to its roots, selling high-quality, differentiated family homes.
"We now believe the time is right to accelerate that strategy by taking advantage of the development opportunities we see."
The firm has secured planning on more than 3,000 plots and acquired new sites totalling £50m.
For the 16 weeks to 20 April, the average selling price of its properties was up 12% to £207,000 (excluding London) and up 20% to £223,000 (including London).
Mr Morgan must receive the backing of shareholders to waive his obligation to make a cash offer for the company if his stake exceeds 30%. | Housebuilder Redrow is to raise £80m in an issue of new shares to fund its expansion plans, in a sign of optimism for the sector. | 17,827,783 | 219 | 34 | false |
It follows criticism from a priest who called it a "cheap stunt" and accused festival organisers of insensitivity.
The screenings are due to take place next month in the former Holy Rosary Church - a deconsecrated building on the Ormeau Road in south Belfast.
The derelict site has not been used as a place of worship for almost 40 years.
However, west Belfast priest Fr Patrick McCafferty said the organisers had shown a lack of "basic human respect" for its former parishioners, many of whom would have attended family funerals in the church.
Fr McCafferty told the Belfast Telegraph they should reconsider their plans and move the event to a "more appropriate venue".
"What is their motivation for showing those types of films in what was once a sacred building, that will have such special memories of spiritual occasions for lots of people?" he asked.
The priest added: "Should they not be sensitive to the fact that many people in that area have fond associations and is sacred to the memories of many people that were baptised or married or buried [from] there?"
However, a festival spokesperson defended the chosen setting, saying it would added to the "eerie atmosphere" for film-goers.
"Belfast Film Festival is well known for its site-specific special events," said the spokesperson, citing its 2015 screening of Jaws on Portrush beach as one example.
"The locations chosen add an extra dimension to the screening, and we think the stone cold surroundings of an abandoned church will make for a suitably chilling viewing experience for The Exorcist."
The Holy Rosary church opened in 1898 to cater for a growing Catholic population in the area, but by 1980 it was judged to be too small and parishioners moved across the road to the larger Good Shepherd church.
None of the clergy from the parish was available for comment.
The abandoned building, which fell into disrepair, is no longer owned by the Catholic Church.
It was recently acquired by Tullymore House Ltd, a Ballymena-based firm which also owns the Galgorm Resort and Spa.
The new owners plan to spend more than £1m to redevelop the former church as an Italian restaurant, so horror film scenes of spinning heads could soon be replaced by spinning pizza dough.
Tullymore House Ltd said the firm had granted permission for the screening "as a reflection of our continued support of the arts community in Northern Ireland".
The listed building's brief foray as a pop-up cinema has proved to be an instant hit with horror film fans.
Tickets for the 180-seat screenings went on sale on Tuesday and about 100 tickets for The Exorcist have already been sold.
The festival spokesperson indicated this was brisk business compared to other events in the festival's line-up.
"Many people will have their own personal reasons for disliking The Exorcist, and we respect their right to that opinion, but the truth is that it was one of the most widely acclaimed films of the 1970s, nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture," said the spokesperson.
The film won two of the 10 categories, taking the Oscar for Best Sound and Best Writing in 1974.
Fr McCafferty told BBC News NI he has watched neither The Exorcist nor The Omen, but "knew enough about them" to be aware of their content.
A woman who had been baptised at the church had also expressed her opposition to the screening, he said.
The priest said he had no objection to the building being turned into a restaurant or used for another "normal purpose", as many former churches had been redeveloped and the new owners had the right to do as they wished.
However, he said the film festival plan was "very immature" and "doesn't deserve the publicity" it has generated. | Belfast Film Festival has defended its plan to show two horror films - The Exorcist and The Omen - at a former Catholic church in the city. | 40,520,316 | 858 | 37 | false |

The Gunners manager brought on his top scorer at half-time, with his side 2-0 down, and he provided the pass for Danny Welbeck's goal.
"Everyone will come to the same conclusion," said Wenger.
"But I am strong enough and lucid enough to analyse the impact."
It was only the fifth time in his Arsenal career that Sanchez had started a Premier League game on the bench, with the Chile international so often a vital player for the Gunners.
He has been directly involved in a league-high 26 goals in his 26 league games this season, scoring 17 and assisting nine.
However, Wenger said he had decided to start Welbeck and Oliver Giroud instead to provide a more direct attacking threat.
"I wanted to play two players who were strong in the air and then bring Sanchez on in the second half," Wenger added.
"I don't deny Alexis Sanchez is a great player. A decision like that is not easy to make, you have to stand up for it."
The defeat was the Gunners' third in four league games and leaves them fifth, two points behind fourth-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Asked whether Arsenal can still make the top four, Wenger said: "It is a possibility that we can still make it, so let's focus on that."
BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty: "Wenger's future may yet be defined - even decided - by his fatally flawed decision to drop leading scorer Alexis Sanchez for the meeting with Liverpool at Anfield.
"This was a match Wenger knew might go a long way towards shaping the Champions League places so surely it was an occasion to call on your biggest player, not adopt the sort of high-risk strategy that went horribly wrong in this damaging 3-1 defeat?
"Once Wenger left Sanchez out, defeat was not an option. He had to leave Anfield with a positive result, instead he was reduced to throwing the Chilean on in desperation at the start of the second half with Liverpool two up and in control.
"It was a baffling, inexplicable move that was was either going to prove gloriously courageous or calamitous. It proved to be the latter.
"Would Antonio Conte leave Diego Costa out of such a game? Would Spurs exclude Harry Kane? Would Jose Mourinho drop Zlatan Ibrahimovic? Not a chance.
"Wenger took the chance and he must now live with the consequences which may stretch beyond this one loss if Arsenal fail to qualify for the Champions League.
"Sanchez's own contract situation and uncertain future provides an intriguing backdrop. And what of Wenger's recent use of the player? Strange to say the least.
"He was brought on when Arsenal were leading 3-0 at Southampton in the FA Cup fourth round at St Mary's and brought on for the last 16 minutes when the Gunners were 2-0 up at non-league Sutton United in the fifth round.
"Was Sanchez really required on those occasions then left out of the starting line-up for this vital fixture?
"He was certainly needed at Anfield - and Wenger's decision not to use him may come back to haunt him and Arsenal."
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown, speaking on Match of the Day, said: "Dropping Sanchez was stunning.
"I really can't understand the thinking behind that. He's their best player. They didn't actually play direct in the match.
"I'm struggling to remember a more tepid performance in the last 20 years under Wenger. There was a lack of spirit and fire in their bellies."
Europe will have at least five rookies at Hazeltine after the nine qualifiers were decided with a week to spare.
Belgian Thomas Pieters needed to defend his Czech Masters title and Irishman Shane Lowry required a top-four finish in the Wyndham Championship in America to stay in contention.
Both men missed out, handing places to Fitzpatrick and Sullivan.
Pieters only lost out by a single shot to American Paul Peterson on Sunday, while Lowry's closing 67 was not enough to put him among the leaders in North Carolina.
That means Rory McIlroy, Danny Willett, Henrik Stenson, Chris Wood, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Sullivan and Fitzpatrick are guaranteed to go to Minnesota in September in search of a fourth straight win over the USA.
Willett, Wood, Cabrera-Bello, Sullivan and Fitzpatrick will be making their debuts in the event.
Fitzpatrick, 21, finished fifth in Prague to book his Ryder Cup place and said afterwards: "It's a great opportunity, I've got my first one coming up and hopefully I can just keep pushing on my game and getting better."
Peterson finished 15 under par in Prague with Britons David Howell and Ryan Evans joint third on the final leaderboard.
European captain Darren Clarke will name his three Ryder Cup wild cards on 30 August.
Nicola Boardman, a former heroin addict, also spent some of the money on drugs, Truro Crown Court heard.
Her parents said the ordeal had "devastated" their lives.
Boardman, 34, who pleaded guilty to one count of fraud, was jailed for three years and four months.
The court heard Boardman, of Trelander East, Truro, had been addicted to heroin as a teenager but took part in rehabilitation.
She went on to earn a first class degree in social sciences at Camborne College in Cornwall but later fell into the wrong crowd and relapsed, the court heard.
She told her parents she wanted to do a PhD and claimed she had interviews at both Cambridge and Oxford universities, and was later accepted at Oxford.
However, Philip Lee, prosecuting, said "this was all made up".
As well as funding her supposed studies over a period of four years, Boardman's parents also paid for "fake university trips" to Mongolia and Greece, the court heard.
Frank and Marilyn Boardman gave up their jobs and sold their home, believing their daughter's claims that she would make £3m on the strength of her academic work and pay back the money.
Boardman spent £10,000 on a marriage to a man from Redruth whom she knew her family "hated", with no family members invited, the court heard.
She then became pregnant and told her parents that she had a stillbirth and invited them to a "sham" ceremony where the ashes were scattered, in an attempt to gain further sympathy.
Mr Lee said: "The defendant later admitted to the police that she had lied about that and her pregnancy had been terminated in May."
It was only after Boardman went missing that her mother found a note confessing to her relapse and secret marriage.
The court heard she had spent a total of £250,000 of her parents' money, and they had no funds for their retirement or to spend on their other two children.
Judge James Dingemans said it was a "prolonged" and "sophisticated" operation.
He added that it was another example of the "destruction caused to society because of the use of drugs".
After resuming on 292-2, with Duckett on 178, the hosts progressed to 481-7 before bad light intervened.
Teenager George Garton has taken three wickets on his Championship debut.
But the Sussex bowlers have otherwise struggled, not helped by dropping Duckett twice.
After 82 overs on the first day, only 53 overs were managed on day two, during which 21-year-old Duckett reached eighth position in the all-time annals of best individual innings for the county, going past Wayne Larkins, Allan Lamb and Dennis Brookes on that list.
But, for all Duckett's dominance, Northants ended four runs short of a fifth batting point, having only reached 396-5 at the 110-over mark.
The princess's christening will take place at St Mary Magdalene Church in Norfolk on 5 July.
The new coin will be available in silver and gold to mark the occasion.
Director of commemorative coin Shane Bissett said: "It is only appropriate that we commemorate this significant occasion with the release of a special coin."
The coins' design will be approved by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Queen and the Chancellor George Osborne.
It will then be revealed in the next couple of weeks.
A limited edition £5 coin was also issued by the Mint, based in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taff, to mark the princess's birth on 2 May.
The Fear Group was planning to build 600 student flats at the old Sainsbury's site on Shaftesbury Street.
Following a large fire at the location on Wednesday evening, the firm told BBC Wales it would now sell the land.
Fire investigators have confirmed the blaze was started deliberately.
Speaking to BBC Radio Wales, the company's director Stephen Fear said they were pulling out of the project because of threats and attacks "from yobs".
He also cited delays over the demolition of the former Sainsbury's supermarket as a reason for the sale.
He told the Good Evening Wales programme that there had been numerous problems in the last few months.
Mr Fear said vandals and thieves had already caused nearly a million pounds worth of damage to the site before the arson attack overnight.
"I was threatened on site by seven young people. My son was threatened by a drug addict who was in a canopy under the building- this guy threatened him with a needle.
"We're sick and tired of it. With the threats and with the apparent lawlessness in this part of Newport, we've just come to the decision that this is a job for someone else and not us."
He said they would move investment to where it was "perhaps more welcome".
Council leaders in the city said they hoped to discuss the matter with Mr Fear "to enable this much anticipated and important regeneration scheme to proceed".
"I am disappointed to hear that the Fear Group has reached this decision," said the council leader, Debbie Wilcox.
"We have worked with, and are continuing to work with, developers on extremely successful projects.
"There is a lot of potential in the city and we know there are people who want to invest in Newport."
The Cyberspace Administration of China accused Mr Ren of publishing "illegal messages that had a bad impact".
Mr Ren had written that state media were funded by taxpayers and should serve them, not the Communist Party.
President Xi urged state media early this month to follow party lines in their reporting.
China has been criticised for its strict internet regulations, including blocking major sites and censoring posts.
But Mr Xi has argued that countries had the right to choose how to develop and regulate the internet.
Almost 40 journalists are currently in prison in China for work posted online, the advocacy group Reporters Without Borders says.
Ren Zhiqiang is a retired top property developer with more than 30 million online followers.
His Weibo blog last week attacking Mr Xi had been criticised by state media - one referring to him as referring "anti-Communist Party" thoughts.
Internet users had to stick to the law and the fundamentals of socialism, said Jiang Jun, a spokesman for the Cyberspace Administration of China.
China has also unveiled new rules - coming into effect on 10 March - banning foreign media companies and foreign joint ventures from distributing content online without prior approval by Beijing officials.

On election day, traditionally a Thursday, voters go to their local polling station and cast their ballots by marking crosses in boxes with a pen or pencil and paper.
The ballots are then counted by hand after the polls close.
The digital revolution, which has swept through so many areas of modern life, has barely touched the system by which we elect our democratic representatives.
Moves to modernise it with automated systems have so far met with high levels of resistance amid concerns over security and fraud.
But campaigners for electronic or e-voting say "digital democracy" is on the way in the UK. Although next year's general election will be run using the traditional system, they predict a different landscape by 2020.
The term "e-voting" is used to cover a range of different technologies, from button or touchscreen machines in polling stations which connect to a central database, to remote systems which allow people to vote online using a secure ID. Supporters say the systems are generally more efficient and less expensive than manual ones.
Another argument in favour stems from voter disengagement and low turnout in many democracies around the world, including the UK, where nearly 16 million people did not vote at the last election. E-voting encourages participation, say campaigners, especially among young people.
"There's a fantastic head of steam now behind this issue," says Graham Allen, the Labour MP who chairs the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee.
In a report on voter engagement published last month, the committee recommended that the government should run online voting pilots in the next parliament "with a view to all electors having the choice of voting online at the 2020 general election".
"I couldn't have got my committee to agree to recommend online voting a year ago but people realise our democracy is broken and we have to find radical ways to fix it," Mr Allen said.
"My 17-year-old daughter lives off the web and email. Her generation will jump at the chance to get involved," he said, adding that he believed that just having the option to vote online would increase interest in elections among young people.
A fellow campaigner is the Labour peer, Lord Malloch Brown, a former minister in the last Labour government and an ex-deputy director of the UN, who is now chairing an e-voting technology company.
During his international career, he observed many elections in emerging democracies and became convinced that the best new technologies offered the best protection against fraud and manipulation while encouraging greater participation.
"The UK's system of voting has been ossified. It's based on centuries of social trust, but that trust is being gnawed away" he said.
Allegations of irregularities during this year's local elections in the London borough of Tower Hamlet, and concerns about the general security of postal votes had contributed to the erosion of trust, he said.
"What's extraordinary is we have a system in the UK that has a very high fraud risk but because there's a general trust we've not reconciled that contradiction. When we do things will start to change."
Lord Malloch-Brown believes the increasing fragmentation and plurality in British politics is putting more strain on the voting system.
"The breakdown of the two-party monopoly is going to lead to more competition and more contested elections. This will focus attention on the reliability and security of the systems we use."
But critics of e-voting worry about security and fraud, particularly the risk of hackers breaking into automated systems.
They point to examples such as the Netherlands, where e-voting was used extensively from the late nineties until 2007 but then banned because of security concerns.
Lord Malloch Brown says it is important to make the distinction between supervised and unsupervised systems. There is no reason why supervised e-voting systems, such as those his company manufactures, should not be adopted more widely, he argues,
"They are much more secure than postal votes. The technology we use is very advanced, with high levels of encryption," he says.
His company has provided e-voting technology to countries including Brazil, Bulgaria and the Philippines. He described how, in the Philippines, different software was used in each of the 80,000 polling stations.
And because most elections are held in a single day, he argues, the results can be registered and collated before hackers have time to break into the systems.
But he admits the technology for unsupervised voting needs to be developed further.
"In truth, online voting is not as secure as going to the polling station. The issue of biometric ID is not sufficiently tied down," he says.
Concern over security is the main reason the UK government has so far resisted any significant moves towards e-voting. Cabinet Office Minister Sam Gyimah told the political and constitutional affairs committee there were "more downsides than upsides" to the technology.
Graham Allen acknowledges the concerns are legitimate, particularly with regard to online voting from PCs or mobile devices.
His committee heard evidence from an electoral law expert, Professor RA Watt from Buckingham University,
"It is quite clear that voting outside the controlled environment of the polling place is susceptible to individual... and organised or strategic fraud," Professor Watt said.
"There does not seem to be a technology which guarantees that a device is being used exclusively by a bona fide registered voter acting freely in accordance with his or her own wishes; in the way that seclusion in a supervised polling booth enables a voter to act freely."
But Mr Allen said: "Where there's a will there's a way. We need to put the best brains on it. Remember that millions of people trust internet banking systems."
The UK's Electoral Commission is reviewing the voting system, examining different options including internet voting.
"This is not an issue that can stay on the slow-track any longer," says the commission's head, Jenny Watson.
"Whether it is the ability to register to vote on the day of the election or voters being able to use any polling station in their constituency, or the introduction of advance voting, or even more radical options... we plan to look at a variety of options, assessing how they will help citizens engage more effectively."
Ms Watson hopes the government's preliminary step of allowing people to join the electoral register online will help boost turnout in next year's general election.
The country leading the way in e-voting technology is Estonia, under the leadership of its tech-savvy Prime Minister, Taavi Roivas.
Estonia has a national database of all its citizens and its voters can cast their ballots from any computer anywhere in the world, using an identity card with a computer-readable microchip.
But even in Estonia, two thirds of people choose to visit polling stations to cast their e-ballots even though they don't have to.
"Voting is an act of ritual citizenship and that is not something we want to or need to change," explains Lord Malloch-Brown.
"There will never be a technology which is a substitute for culture. But that does not mean we should resist technology which could transform participation."
One of his favoured systems involves voters casting their ballot digitally in a polling station and then printing out a hard copy which they can post in a ballot box as a back-up.
There is something psychologically reassuring about having that piece of paper," he says.
England all-rounder Chris Woakes had previously been vice captain to Ian Bell in all forms of the game.
Former England batsman Trott, 35, has scored 758 runs at an average of 68.90 in the County Championship this season.
Porterfield, 31, has been captain of Ireland since 2008, winning 86 one-day international caps for his country.
"Jonathan and William are vastly experienced cricketers that have played at the highest level of the game for several years," Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown said.
"Both are great role models for our younger members of the squad."
The France-born player, 30, was speaking to Italian broadcaster Rai after Saturday's 1-1 draw with Torino.
"What stupid person is speaking?" said Benatia before ending the interview.
The incident comes a week after another Serie A player, Pescara's Sulley Muntari, walked off the pitch after claiming he was being racially abused.
Benatia, who is on loan at Juventus from Bayern Munich, has not commented publicly on what happened during the television interview.
The broadcaster has since apologised and promised to find out who made the "unacceptable" comments.
"Rai is sincerely saddened by the deplorable episode of racism involving the Juventus player during the broadcast of Champagne Football," it said on Sunday, adding that the insult had not been heard by the viewers.
Benatia has made 17 league and cup appearances for Juventus, who are closing in on a sixth successive Serie A title and are in the Champions League semi-finals.
Juventus released a statement, saying: "Following the regrettable insult Medhi Benatia heard through his earpiece during Calcio Champagne, Juventus Football Club wishes to express its concern over the incident.
"While acknowledging the Rai statement expressing solidarity, everyone - and the player first and foremost - deserves an explanation about what occurred."
Meanwhile, Muntari was an unused substitute as relegated Pescara lost 1-0 at home to fellow strugglers Crotone on Sunday.
The former Portsmouth and Sunderland player was cleared to play after a one-match ban he received for protesting against racist abuse in last weekend's match at Cagliari was overturned.
Muntari was initially booked for dissent, then received a second yellow card for leaving the field.
Before the ban was overturned, former Tottenham striker Garth Crooks called on players in Italy to strike in protest against Muntari's punishment.
Pilkington had the idea as a way to develop his own photography, though now sees his role as curator as being the creative centre of his work.
"Photographers as a breed are much more comfortable behind the lens than in front of it," he says. "So for those willing to overcome this natural reticence it is a chance to show off their skills and indeed their imagination to the wider community."
The basic idea is very simple. Once paired up they simply have to take a portrait of each other. Some use what is to hand, others construct fairly elaborate sets.
"It is meant to be a celebration of the portrait image in its many forms," adds Pilkington.
More than a year in, Pilkington imagines it could carry on for another six months or more, and at present adds a new pairing to The Swap website every few days and and hopes to publish a book of the best work next year.
Here is a small selection from the project, with comments from the photographers.
Rebecca Miller and Desiree Pfeiffer
Rebecca Miller:
"I was very comfortable being photographed by Desiree which is strange because I generally hate having my photograph taken. I think what made it easier is that I was playing a character in an overall story so the picture was less about what I looked like and really more just a piece of the story. To me this is an interesting way to approach a portrait as I don't think we really are the component parts that make up our faces and bodies, I think we are much more than that. There was also the physical aspect of actually holding up a tree in heels which took up most of my energy so I had little time to ask questions like, 'What should I do with my hands?' or 'Is my lipstick on my teeth?'"
Desiree Pfeiffer:
"The experience of participating in this project was painful but rewarding. Rebecca and I went to art school together and have been close friends for years. We share a similar approach and sense of aesthetics, so it was interesting to work with her and gain insight into how my subjects feel. I became acutely aware of how awkward and insecure you feel in front of the camera even when you trust someone completely. It was important to be reminded of this. The lesson was invaluable. Artists often project themselves into their work. However, it looks like a photograph I would take so to me it feels authentic; that she really captured me."
Hiroshi Watanabe and Aline Smithson
Hiroshi Watanabe:
"Each of us did what we wanted to be like with outfit and costume and the other (with camera) decided how to photograph."
Aline Smithson
"When Stuart invited me to participate, the first photographer I considered was my friend Hiroshi Watanabe. I am a devoted fan of his work and not only collect his photographs but hold them in the highest regard. Hiroshi brings a technical acuity to his images and a deep level of humanity and I knew that he would be able to capture my essence. I really am not a fan of being in front of the lens and generally try to obscure myself when I can. I had been thinking about life behind a burka, what it conceals and what it reveals, and Hiroshi was able to bring beauty and mystery to that idea through his wet darkroom techniques. We both still use film and shoot with the square format, though he uses a Hasselblad and I use a twin lens Rolleiflex. I think it was fun for each of us to witness how each other worked. Needless to say, I am thrilled with the result."
Rob Ball and Laura Pannack
Rob Ball
"Laura visited to share her work with my photography students and whilst she was in town we decided to make some tintypes. Each exposure is about 10 seconds and often reveals something hidden or otherwise imperceptible."
Paula McCartney and Geoffrey Nel Thomas
Paula McCartney
"Making a portrait, or any photograph for that matter is an excuse to look closely, to notice the details not always evident in the continuous movement of time. To concentrate on this, I often extract my subjects from the wider environment. While I made the photograph in natural light, I placed Geoffrey against a black background. His features are detailed and clear, but he doesn't exist in a specific time or place. I imagine him more in one of the many short stories he writes, rather than in the everyday world."
Geoffrey Nel Thomas
"My work focuses on un-scripted moments and not staged portraits, so I looked to Arnold Newman, who excelled at showing a person's character by placing them in their own environment, for ideas on how to approach creating a portrait of Paula. What binds all of Paula's work together is her interest in nature, so it was only fitting to place her in that environment. It was by chance that I found flowers which matched her dress, so she looked in confluence with her surroundings."
Lori Pond by Brandy Trigueros
Lori Pond
"Brandy and I have similar, dare I say weird, aesthetic tastes that run from clothing to both our favourite mode of expression, photography. This past year I've undergone a series of eye operations because of retinal detachments in my right eye. Brandy and I were in the same photography class taught by Aline Smithson this year. I was usually wearing an eye patch. When I approached Brandy about The Swap, she immediately knew what to do. She enlisted her friend Mindy to paint an eye on to my palm and dots around my eye. The rest was pure magic."
Brandy Trigueros
"Working with Lori Pond was such a treat and a wonderful collaborative process. We are both drawn to masks, particularly the emotional and psychological aspects they evoke. In her portrait, I love how she elevated these aspects by turning me around thus challenging the norm and giving the viewer a deeper look."
Ivette Spradlin and Aaron Blum
Ivette Spradlin
"It is always strange to be in the other side of the lens but there is a trust that was there knowing Aaron's work. There wasn't much verbal direction. We both just fell into place."
Aaron Blum
"I really hate having my photograph taken, but it was nice to be on the other side of the camera for once, and I really ended up liking the result and the process. I usually never go out with other photographers, but this was a great experience."
Andy Moll was part of a three-man team exploring a wreck six miles south of Swanage, some 131ft (40m) below the surface, on Sunday.
Father-of-four Mr Moll, from North Curry, near Taunton, is said to have more than 30 years' diving experience.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency called off the search for Mr Moll, who remains missing, on Sunday.
Leon Smith, chair of Severnside Sub Aqua Club, said Mr Moll was a "great personal friend" to many club members.
"Andy has been a long-standing, active, and well-respected member of the diving community," he said.
"Everyone who knows Andy is truly devastated by recent events and our thoughts and concerns are with his family and all those involved."
Mr Moll also served nationally with the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) and had been an instructor trainer.
"He was full of passion and enthusiasm and the BSAC, and had a true love of scuba diving, and all that went with it.
"Andy was also a real family man and our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to them, in particular his wife Elaine and four daughters."
Mr Moll failed to surface while diving with two others from the boat Emma J off Swanage and the emergency services were alerted.
The employee, who was working with peacekeepers, was snatched from his residence in the city of Fasher.
Security Council envoys had arrived in Fasher to raise concerns about an upsurge in violence in Darfur.
Earlier, Sudanese armed forces, long accused of atrocities in Darfur, launched renewed attacks on rebels.
The government forces said they had taken a key stretch of road from the rebel Sudan Liberation Army, about 100 miles (160km) away from Fasher.
The rebels said aircraft had bombed villages full of civilians - allegations that the government denied.
Later on Thursday, the joint UN-African Union peacekeeping force, Unamid, told journalists that that one of their workers had been snatched.
"Armed men entered the residence of four civilian staff members in downtown El Fasher," said spokesman Kemal Saiki.
"They tied up two of them and made away with the other two in a vehicle. One man escaped and the other is still missing."
He said the kidnap was unrelated to the visit of the Security Council diplomats. The nationality of the kidnapped person has not been disclosed.
Ambassadors and top diplomats from the 15 nations on the UN Security Council are on a four-day mission to Sudan.
Q&A: Darfur conflict
They were in talks in Khartoum to check the troubled preparations for a secession vote for the south, due to take place in January, and also visited Juba before they moved on to Fasher.
Heavily armed peacekeepers greeted them at the airport, along with hundreds of protesters, voicing their support for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir.
The UN delegation had refused to meet Mr Bashir, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes committed in Darfur - charges he strongly denies.
The BBC's James Copnall, in Khartoum, says several foreigners have been kidnapped in Darfur since the warrant was issued.
Our correspondent says most of the abductions appear to be motivated by money rather than politics, but he says the timing of this incident will be deeply worrying for Unamid.
The UN estimates the six-year conflict in Darfur has cost the lives of 300,000 people and driven a further 2.7m from their homes.
The government puts the death toll at 10,000 and has said the problems in Darfur have been exaggerated for political reasons.
Young people in the area are being invited to participate in the Wilton Lodge project led by local artist and film-maker Dawn Berry.
Events manager Gordon Webber said it was an "exciting year" for the Hawick facility.
He said the aim of the scheme was to get a "youth perspective" on the life of the park.
"Lots will be going on with the usual events programme but also the addition of the new café, playpark and bridge," he said.
"There should be lots of material there to capture."
Project manager Ms Berry added: "We will provide the tools and guidance needed to film, edit and score the film but ultimately we want the input from the youth participants on what they want to see in the film and tell their story of the park's life."
A first information meeting for the project will take place on Saturday 28 January at 12:00 in the theatre at the Heart of Hawick centre.
Yet many people love them. "I absolutely weep at these events. I have no idea why," one mother told us.
Among teachers, opinions are equally mixed.
"Stressful to create but a pleasure to watch," is a typical verdict.
"Trust me, school plays are a nightmare. By the time Christmas comes. I'm all, 'Bah humbug'."
Some parents will go to great lengths to ensure their children land a starring role: "Personal highlight was my sixth daughter being Mary. I was going to carry on having children until I got a Mary."
But what about the children who are not chosen?
Disappointment can result in jealousy.
One newly cast Mary from Brighton "came home full of joy", according to her dad, but could not understand why her best friend was suddenly picking on her.
Canny schools try to make sure everyone feels important.
"My daughter proudly told me that she was going to be 'narratorate'. That turned out to be between narrator seven and narrator nine," reports one mother from Preston.
Some roles definitely lack glamour: "I was a tree one year," remembers a former London pupil.
This was a non-speaking part. "I just stood around wearing a cardboard tube."
Making the costumes can be a burden - but these days time-poor parents can buy ready-made versions of the necessary outfits.
Not everyone approves, though. "I loved them when parents made their own costumes. These days many parents buy their children outfits from supermarkets, and all the shepherds are dressed alike," said a grandmother of four from Shropshire.
However, the good old days were not good for everyone. "I was once a shepherd and got called out in my rehearsal because my costume (my dad's dressing gown) was 'too dirty'".
The "props" do not always behave appropriately. "I had to lead a donkey across the church once and it did a wee on the altar," recalled one former nativity starlet.
And sometimes the young actors get it wrong.
"I dropped baby Jesus. Luckily, baby Jesus was a doll," confessed one former Mary, now a doctor.
"I was a very nervous angel and had to climb a small stepladder onto a table to deliver my lines. Just as I got to the top, I tripped over my dress, fell flat on my face and slid slowly back down the ladder."
"My daughter changed the course of history by running off hand-in-hand with one of the kings after her appearance as Mary."
Some parents are less than thrilled by the religious element.
"I loathed all the sentimental superstitious [rubbish] and ruined my daughter's life by insisting she be a shepherd, ie a real human rather than some mythical beast [such as an] angel," one parent confessed.
Others are more pragmatic. "I just wish they would sing proper carols," said another nativity veteran. "I loved the Christmas concerts at school, with the kids and parents all joining in together.
"The religious element didn't bother me. It just marked the beginning of the excitement."
Families with other religious backgrounds can find themselves in a tricky spot. "When I was cast as Mary at my primary school near Watford my parents swore us to secrecy in the wider family in case my dad's mum, who was Jewish, found out," admitted one.
Some schools, decide the most sensible thing is to duck the religion entirely and hold a "school panto" instead - and this opens up entirely new costume opportunities, according to one former pupil.
"At my inner London primary school there was no shortage of wannabe dames among the boys. This was the one chance all year to wear a dress in public and no-one would bat an eyelid."

Jack Glenn, 23, was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, dark tracksuit bottoms and blue trainers when he entered the water from the Foyle Bridge.
The Glenn family have been liaising with the Foyle Search and Rescue team and the PSNI.
Searches were held on Saturday along both sides of the River Foyle.
A candlelit vigil will be held at the Peace Bridge on Saturday evening.
Peter Tait, a family relative, told the BBC: "We will not stop searching for Jack until he is found.
"He was a wonderful young man. He was very caring and well known for his sport.
"The family is finding it incredibly tough. They are devastated but they thank everyone for their help and support."
He added: "We are asking people to talk to a loved one or a friend if they have a lot going on in their heads. Speaking out is key."
Alan Norman Foster, 37, denies killing 61-year-old Pauline Carmichael on 23 February this year.
Her body was found in Lough Neagh, about a mile from the house she shared with Mr Foster at Hillside in Antrim.
A judge at Ballymena Magistrates' Court refused to grant bail for Mr Foster.
A detective told the court that a driver crossing a bridge close to Ms Carmichael's home saw a man matching Mr Foster's description "throwing a body over the railings of the bridge".
A second driver "saw a male throwing an object which appeared to be red in colour over the bridge", the detective added.
The witnesses reported their observations to police when they saw media reports of Ms Carmichael's disappearance.
Their alleged sightings came about half-an-hour after police had removed an "extremely irate" Mr Foster and his friends from Ms Carmichael's flat.
Mr Foster allegedly re-entered the property when police left the scene.
Evidence had been been obtained that he later left, carrying Ms Carmichael over his shoulder after telling friends he was going to throw her over a bridge, the court heard.
He returned, the detective said, changed his clothes and shoes and left again, telling his friends he "had to go back to burn the body".
According to witness statements, he returned again and allegedly said "her body was gone, it must have floated away".
The court heard that a post-mortem examination found that Ms Carmichael had died as a result of drowning and she had also sustained a broken bone in her throat and multiple rib fractures.
Police objected to bail over concerns Mr Foster would interfere with witnesses.
He was ordered to appear again via videolink on 28 July.
Adilson Tavares Varela, known as Cabral, told Hull Crown Court he had consensual sex with the 22-year-old woman at his flat in Gateshead.
The ex-Sunderland midfielder denied being "persistent, forceful and aggressive" and said he stopped having sex with her when she asked him to.
He denies two counts of rape.
The woman has told the jury Varela pinned her down on his bed and raped her after they met during a night out in Newcastle.
But the footballer said they kissed and danced together before going back to his home with friends, including retired French international Anthony Reveillere.
He said the woman asked him to go into the bedroom.
When asked about her behaviour, Varela said: "It was normal. It was a normal girl who wanted to have sex with me.
"It seemed to me she was used to doing this as she was in no way ashamed."
He told the court he removed all of his clothes except for his socks and that he and the woman had sex in two positions.
Speaking through an interpreter, Cape Verde-born Varela told the jury the woman asked him to stop after around 15 minutes because she was tired.
He said he stopped and swore at her in French because he felt "frustrated".
Varela, who has a fiancee and a three-year-old son who live in Switzerland, told the court he got dressed and returned to the others in the living room, where he sent a message to a woman he described as a "sex buddy".
He said the complainant later left his flat with the others and was upset because she thought her mother would be angry with her.
Varela now plays for Swiss team FC Zurich. The trial continues.
Thousands headed to Ashton Court for the nightglow on Thursday night, where tethered balloons light their burners in time to music.
The event, now in its 39th year, is Europe's largest balloon festival.
More than 130 balloons are at the festival but the first mass ascent was cancelled because it was too windy.
Don Cameron, founder of Bristol-based manufacturer Cameron Balloons, said it was "terrible" but the event was "weather independent".
"This weekend it looks as if Friday morning is hopeful but Friday night and Saturday morning might not be so good," he said.
"Saturday evening going into Sunday is forecast to be very good. The golden rule - we're learning - is to never write it off."
The event is due to run until Sunday with another nightglow and fireworks display planned for Saturday night.

The Blues want to relocate to Wembley for three years and a £20m-a-year deal has reportedly been agreed.
But they have also held talks with the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) about a temporary move to the Olympic Stadium, which will become West Ham's home from next season.
Chelsea are also understood to be considering a switch to Twickenham.
Officials from the Stamford Bridge club held a meeting with LLDC chiefs at the end of last year, although no final decision has yet been reached and a groundshare with the Hammers is thought to be unlikely.
West Ham would need to agree to such a move, but their tenancy contract with the LLDC does allow for such an arrangement.
It would mean West Ham receiving a significant discount on their £2.5m-a-year rent for the 60,000-seater stadium.
West Ham will pay the sum each year over the 99-year lease.
The club were awarded tenancy of the London 2012 stadium in 2013 - and at least £272m has been spent to convert the site for use as a Premier League ground.
West Ham have contributed £15m towards those costs, with the deal made public following a legal battle involving owners LLDC.
The club played their last game at the 35,000-seater Upton Park, also know as the Boleyn Ground, on Tuesday, fighting back to beat Manchester United 3-2.
Slaven Bilic's Hammers side finish their season at Stoke City on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are close to a deal with the Football Association to play their 2017-18 home games at Wembley while their new stadium is completed.

The 15-year-old from Bristol struggled with a leg injury during a 6-1 6-4 defeat on Rod Laver Arena.
Swan was hoping to become the first Briton to win the title since Annabel Croft in 1984.
She joins compatriot Laura Robson as a girls' runner-up in Australia, with Robson making the 2009 and 2010 finals.
Robson sent her a message of support before the final, and Swan has tickets for the women's final to see her favourite player Maria Sharapova take on Serena Williams.
"It's actually been crazy," said Swan, who relocated to Kansas two years ago because of her father's work.
"There have been so many people that sent me messages, tweeting, Facebook, Instagram.
"Everybody has been so supportive from my home in England and Wichita, Kansas. It's been amazing.
"Obviously my best tournament I've ever played. I'm really pleased with the way I've been playing this week. I hope that there are a lot more tournaments like this for me."
Swan had reached the final with a dramatic win over Hungary's Dalma Galfi in which she saved three match points and suffered with cramp, requiring lengthy treatment after the match on Friday.
She could not rediscover her form on a windy Saturday afternoon at Melbourne Park, making 30 unforced errors as she lost in one hour and 29 minutes.
Mihalikova, 16, came through two tight early service games to dominate the opening set, making twice the Briton's winners with 14.
There was a hint of a comeback when Swan dug in to save a set point and hold serve at 5-0 down, then, after losing the opening set, she moved 3-0 clear in the second.
However, a leg injury forced her off court for a medical timeout and she could not pick up where she left off.
"I actually started to feel my groin at the middle of the first set, and then it got worse and worse throughout," Swan explained.
"I didn't have much time to recover from yesterday, so that's part of it."
Mihalikova moved to within a game of victory before Swan saved two match points and broke the Slovak's serve as she served for the title.
Swan's own serve was now vulnerable, though, and Mihalikova cracked away a forehand winner on her third match point for a deserved victory.
The Briton will now return home to the United States for a training block before playing her first senior tournaments next month on the second-tier ITF circuit.
Forest have been in talks with Neil Warnock and were expected to announce the former Leeds United boss as their new manager on Monday afternoon.
Warnock, 65, is still in the frame and his former captain at Leeds, Lee Peltier, has been signed by the Reds.
But Forest owner Fawaz Al Hasawi said he must "stress the need for patience".
Academy manager Gary Brazil will be in charge for Tuesday's Championship game against Charlton.
Al Hasawi, who has lifted all bans on media at the club, said in a statement on the Forest website: "I am aware many people expect me to announce a new manager imminently, however I must stress the need for patience as I make the important decision of who takes the reins at this crucial stage of the season.
"I will keep our supporters informed of any developments, but in the meantime I ask everyone to get behind our academy manager Gary Brazil until a permanent appointment is made."
Davies, 49, was appointed Reds boss for a second time in February 2013, but was fired in the wake of Saturday's 5-0 defeat against rivals Derby County.
The result left Forest a place and two points outside the Championship play-offs after an eight-game winless run.
Warnock has been out of work since leaving Leeds in April 2013.
Davies and his staff did not turn up for training at the Championship club on Monday, fuelling speculation that the Scot had been fired overnight and would be replaced by Warnock, who met with Forest's owners on Sunday.
Davies only signed a four-year contract extension at the City Ground in October 2013, eight months after re-joining the club.
Forest narrowly missed out on the Championship play-offs last term and have not finished in the top six since 2011, during Davies's first spell at the club.
He was first hired as Forest manager in December 2008 and twice led them to the play-offs, only to miss out on promotion to the Premier League by losing in the semi-finals on both occasions.
Davies was sacked in June 2011 and replaced by Steve McClaren.
McClaren, the former Middlesbrough and England manager, is now in charge at Derby and masterminded the 5-0 win over Forest at the weekend.
Forest have not won in the league in the seven games since they beat Huddersfield on 11 February, and were also knocked out of the FA Cup by League One side Sheffield United.
You can have your say on the managerial situation at Nottingham Forest on BBC Radio Nottingham's football phone-in Matchtalk from 18:00-19:00 GMT on Monday.
Warriors lost Saturday's semi-final to Connacht 16-11.
Fijian trio Leone Nakarawa, Taqele Naiyaravoro and Jerry Yanuyanutawa as well as Duncan Weir and Tyrone Holmes will all be moving on.
"We've got a great squad and there's plenty of boys more than capable of stepping up already," said Horne.
Brothers Glenn and Kevin Bryce are also leaving Glasgow, but former All Blacks hooker Corey Flynn and Italy wing Leonardo Sarto have agreed to join the Warriors.
"There's a few boys going to leave big gaps to fill," said Horne.
Scotland's Horne bemoaned a lack of discipline as Glasgow lost in Galway and missed out on a third successive final, with this year's showpiece at Murrayfield.
"We were on the wrong side of the referee and we just lost our rhythm," said Horne.
"We didn't get into our shape at all until the first 10 minutes in the second half. When we did we looked really dangerous. We scored a try and we could've walked in another couple if we had moved the ball quicker but ultimately we just committed silly mistakes.
"Everyone in that room, there's another 10 or 20% we could've brought out and we need to make sure that we're more clinical. We've got plenty to work on. That will inspire us for next season.
"In the dark times we'll make sure we think about this and we'll come back a lot better.
"We should've won that game and by a lot of points to spare. It's a real shame but that's rugby.
"They defended well in patches, made a mess of our set piece and when they had the ball in that first half did really well to keep a hold of it.
"We're all absolutely distraught. We threw everything at them but it wasn't our day."
The animal strayed on to Kidderminster Road in Bewdley and was spotted in a residential area on Sunday evening, police said.
One witness said it was chasing someone before it was stopped.
Police said the animal's owner assisted in locating it but because of its agitated state and being in a built up area, the bull was put down.
More updates on this and other stories in Hereford and Worcester
Witness Sheree Jenkins told BBC News: "There was one point it went up the road and out of sight and there were lots of police cars there.
"We assumed it had been contained and it ran past shortly afterwards.
"It was actually chasing one person at one point."
Insp Carrie Thompson said: "It is with regret I announce that officers were forced to humanely dispose of this animal after it was located in a busy area of Bewdley.
"The animal's increasingly agitated state and the fact it was found in a densely populated residential area gave officers no choice."
No-one was injured during the incident.
Ray Tensing, a white University of Cincinnati police officer, was indicted on a murder charge for the death of Samuel DuBose.
Mr Tensing pulled DuBose over for not having a front licence plate and after failing to produce his licence. The driver seemed to attempt to pull away.
The police officer fired his gun, hitting DuBose in the head.
His bond was set at $1m (£640,000) and he will next appear in court on 19 August. He was released on bail on Thursday evening.
The officer claims he was being dragged by DuBose's car and feared for his life, but prosecutors said the body camera footage contradicts that story.
Also Thursday, two other campus police officers who responded to the shooting have been put on paid leave, the university said.
Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters has said officers who corroborated Mr Tensing's account of being dragged could face charges.
Twenty-five year old Mr Tensing pleaded not guilty on both charges of murder and involuntary manslaughter.
The courtroom cheered and clapped when judge Megan Shanahan set the bond. She immediately called for order.
Ms Shanahan rejected Mr Tensing's defence, arguing that he was not a flight risk.
Mr Deters said on Wednesday that Mr Tensing "purposely killed him", calling his actions "asinine" and "senseless".
Mr Tensing's defence lawyer said he was "shocked" his client was charged with murder and that he did not mean to kill DuBose.
DuBose was 43. His family members said he would not have fought a police officer.
They are urging the community to stay calm and protest peacefully.
"Sam was peaceful," the victim's brother Audrey DuBose said. "He lived peaceful. And in his death, we want to remain peaceful."

Krohn-Dehli drifted away from two defenders to fire home the winner.
But the Dutch dominated only to waste numerous efforts, with Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie the main culprits.
"It happened to Robin van Persie at the 2010 World Cup. He maybe takes on too much responsibility. He should be flying after a season like he has had [with Arsenal]. He's not relaxed enough. When he plays for Arsenal it's a different Van Persie."
Robben came closest when he shot against the post and the Danes survived a late handball appeal against Lars Jacobsen to hold on for victory.
Denmark coach Morten Olsen's pre-match warning that the Netherlands were simply better than his side could easily have been dismissed as mind games.
But for long spells of the opening Group B encounter at the Metalist Stadium in Kharkiv, the reality backed up Olsen's fears and the Danes struggled.
Netherlands, one of the pre-tournament favourites, combined their undoubted guile, creativity, pace and attacking quality with midfield grit and organisation.
Robben and Van Persie provided the cutting edge, and they had a series of opportunities to put Bert van Marwijk's side ahead before the Danes took the lead.
Van Persie, who scored 36 goals for Arsenal last season, sidefooted the first opening wide after a good early Robben run and Van Persie teed up a headed chance for Wesley Sneijder.
Robben and Van Persie then combined brilliantly on the right only for the Bayern Munich winger to fail to pick out one of two team-mates in the middle.
Sneijder also sent a header wide and as the pressure mounted, a Dutch goal looked inevitable.
But the Danes remained resolute in defence - largely thanks to a spirited display by captain Daniel Agger - and they went ahead with their first meaningful attack.
Krohn-Dehli took advantage of a lucky bounce of the ball after a battling run on the left flank by Simon Poulsen, dummied two defenders and shot low through goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg's legs after 24 minutes.
Niki Zimling did have a chance to double the lead soon after, but failed to properly connect with a difficult volleyed effort.
That was, however, a brief interlude to a series of Dutch attacks.
Robben curled an effort against the foot of the post from the edge of the box after being gifted the ball by an abysmal clearance from keeper Stephan Andersen.
And Netherlands, backed by a typically noisy and colourful travelling support, started the second period in blistering fashion and could have had four goals within 10 minutes
Robben shot over after cutting in from the left, and Van Persie miskicked dreadfully when in a good position and was also unlucky with another low effort.
Netherlands left-back Jetro Williams' inclusion means he is the youngest player to feature in the European Championship finals at just 18 years and 71 days old. Whose record did he eclipse? Enzo Scifo, the brilliant Belgian midfielder who was 18 years and 115 days when he faced Yugoslavia in 1984.
Mark van Bommel also went close with a fizzing 25-yard strike that drew a superb save from Andersen.
At the other end, goalscorer Krohn-Dehli's 20-yard strike brought a fine stop from Stekelenburg.
And, although the Dutch started to look increasingly frustrated, they still created chances.
Johnny Heitinga headed over, substitute Klaas-Jan Huntelaar - left out of the starting line-up despite scoring 12 goals in qualifying - went through on goal but was denied by some alert and brave goalkeeping, and Huntelaar also had a decent claim for a penalty dismissed.
Defender Jacobsen handled the ball while under pressure from Huntelaar, but referee Damir Skomina waved away the Dutch appeals.
The Danes held firm and now have a great opportunity to progress to the quarter-finals, while the Dutch - runners-up at the last World Cup - must win at least one of their remaining two fixtures, against either Germany or Portugal, to have any hope.

The forward joins the struggling team, managed by Fabio Capello, after two seasons at French side Lorient FC.
"Moukandjo will enhance the team's attacking power and help it to improve results! Welcome Moukandjo," the club said on its website.
With one year left on his Lorient contract, Jiangsu Suning paid around US$6.25m for Moukandjo, who is 28.
Jiangsu, who signed Brazilian duo Ramires and Alex Teixeira last year, are second bottom at the halfway stage of the Chinese league, with just 10 points from 16 matches.
Moukandjo finished top scorer at Lorient in both his seasons with the club, who were relegated from Ligue 1 last season.
"Benjamin has played for the jersey with pride for the last two seasons and has been decisive on numerous occasions," said Lorient president Loïc Féry.
"I wish him every success in the years to come."
In total, he netted 26 goals in 56 games for the French side, who had been promoted to Ligue 1 in 2006.
Earlier this year, Moukandjo skippered Cameroon to the Africa Cup of Nations title in Gabon, so allowing the Indomitable Lions to contest last month's Confederations Cup in Russia.
A former player of Kadji Sport Academy in Cameroon, Moukandjo first played in France in 2007 when signing for Stade Rennais, from where he moved to Nimes, Monaco, FC Nancy and Reims before moving to Lorient.

The Grade I listed buildings at Cannington Court have been restored over the past three years.
Staff will use the base to develop skills in smart metering, new nuclear projects, finance and human resources.
Chief executive officer Vincent de Rivaz, said: "We are committed to developing the new skills and ideas to build a low-carbon society."
Cannington Court is owned by Bridgwater College and has been leased to EDF Energy.
When it is not used by EDF staff, the college will make use of the facilities for its students.
EDF has used sustainable energy sources, such as ground source heat pumps and solar panels, to provide 50% of the building's power.
At the scene, BBC business correspondent, Dave Harvey:
On the face of it, a new training centre for a multi-national company is not big news.
For the staff and the managers, it was certainly a big day in Cannington, as the French chief exec drove into Somerset with a government minister to do the honours. But for the rest of us?
Well the opening of EDF's new national training centre is significant, for two reasons. One, it underlines the company's commitment to Somerset. As Vincent de Rivaz told me, they want to bring staff from Scotland, Suffolk and the South East to learn nuclear technology in Cannington.
It matters also because it demonstrates how confident EDF was that Hinkley C would be approved. Vincent de Rivaz approved the multimillion-pound hub four years ago, before Hinkley C even had planning permission. He knew there were hurdles, but he never doubted it would go ahead.
We are now told Hinkley C's final investment decision, the absolutely last green light, will come before Christmas. Mr de Rivaz is clearly losing no sleep over that decision.
Cannington Court was also previously a Catholic industrial school for boys and an agricultural college.
Last month, EDF Energy confirmed it had reached an agreement with Chinese state-run energy firm China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) on their level of investment for a nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point.
Although CGN has confirmed it will pay £6bn towards the cost, EDF has not yet announced its final investment decision.
Once this is confirmed the nuclear build will go ahead but, due to the long delays in the project, the plant will not be generating power in 2023 as initially planned.
Anti-nuclear campaigners say the nuclear build deal is over-priced and will result in higher electricity bills for consumers. They also say nuclear power is unsafe and unsustainable.
The Exiles have applied to groundshare at Brentford FC's planned new stadium.
The Madejski Stadium looks set to continue as Irish's "home ground" until the Lionel Road site in Brentford is completed - hoped to be in August 2019.
"It's very difficult for us to make ends meet renting a stadium off Reading FC," Casey told BBC Radio Berkshire.
"We have to look at it from a commercial side of things," the former Exiles second row added. "Where rugby is going at the moment, for us to be able to compete, we have to generate much more revenue.
"The best way to do that is to get more bums on seats and having a better deal with the stadium we play at."
Irish, who are looking to return to the Premiership at the first attempt this season, are contracted to play at the Madejski Stadium until 2025-26, but the deal does contain a break clause.
Hounslow Borough Council granted the club a licence in February to play rugby at Lionel Road, but construction of the planned 20,000-capacity stadium is yet to begin.
"We've been very upfront with the supporters that we're exploring all the options and the potential to play in London back to our roots," Casey said.
"We're in discussions with Brentford, but as yet nothing has been finalised. We'll let our supporters know every step of the way."
Ms Shoesmith was sacked after a damning report into the 2007 death of Peter Connelly, known as Baby P, who was subjected to months of abuse.
The payments, previously established to be a six-figure sum, were confirmed in the London council's accounts.
But Ms Shoesmith told the BBC: "This is not a figure I recognise."
She added: "I have made a confidential agreement with Haringey that prevents me giving the actual figures."
However, the council's draft accounts for 2013-2014 show Ms Shoesmith was awarded £377,266 for salary, fees and allowance, £217,266 in compensation for loss of office, and £84,819 for employer pension contributions.
Peter Connelly had more than 50 injuries, despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over eight months.
Baby Peter's mother, Tracey Connelly, her boyfriend, Steven Barker, and his brother, Jason Owen, were jailed in May 2009 for causing or allowing the child's death.

▶ Sharon Shoesmith on child protection
Ms Shoesmith was sacked in December 2008 by the then children's secretary Ed Balls.
She claimed she had been unfairly dismissed and the Court of Appeal ruled in her favour in 2011, saying she had been "unfairly scapegoated".
Haringey Council previously revealed it had spent £196,000 fighting Ms Shoesmith's case for unfair dismissal.
The compensation package is more than the minimum suggested by senior judge Lord Neuberger in the 2011 ruling.
He gave the opinion Ms Shoesmith was entitled to a minimum of three months' salary plus pensions contributions, which would have amounted to about £33,000.
However, last year a government source told BBC Newsnight the cost to Haringey Council could be as high as £600,000.
In a statement, the local authority confirmed it had reached a settlement with Ms Shoesmith.
It said: "The terms of the settlement are confidential. We are unable to comment further on this matter."
Kerry Underwood, an employment lawyer, said confidential settlements like Ms Shoesmith's "should not be allowed" when they involve public money.
Such payouts should also be subject to extra scrutiny, he added.
"When local authorities are cutting back hard then it should go back to tribunal or court to be approved," Mr Underwood said.
"That would not cost a lot of money, it would be a relatively short hearing."
Llandudno Magistrates' Court heard how a young girl saw the kitten in the water and tried to save it.
Richard Thomas Davies, 32, of Cae Mawr, Llandudno, Conwy county, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to an animal last summer.
The court heard his actions were "horrific and callous".
The prosecution said the kitten had been promised to a girl who was "very upset" when seen by police.
Court chairman Brian Cossey told Davies: "We are appalled by what we have heard. You probably traumatised a very young vulnerable person."
Davies was given a 12-week suspended jail term and told he must take part in alcohol treatment for a year and rehabilitation.
He was also banned from keeping any animal for five years and ordered to pay £50 compensation and £735 costs.
University President Christopher Eisgruber has agreed to consider their demands after protests.
The School of Public and International Affairs and a dormitory at the Ivy League university are named for Wilson.
As US president, he led progressive initiatives but supported segregation.
Mr Eisgruber said he was thankful for the "willingness of the students to work with us to find a way forward".
Racial segregation, which mostly took place in Southern US states, was legal policy during his presidency from 1913 to 1921.
Wilson served as president of New Jersey's Princeton University from 1902 to 1910.
He was then elected as president, leading the country during World War I and championing American membership in the League of Nations - a forerunner to the United Nations.
The Black Justice League lead the protesters, who have called for the university to both remove Wilson's name from the international affairs school and his name and photograph from other public spaces on campus.
University officials, as part of a signed agreement with students, said they would consider removing a mural of Wilson on campus, start conversations about his legacy of racism and increase cultural competency training for Princeton faculty.
The protests come at a time when universities across the US are grappling with race relation and diversity issues.
Anne-Marie Slaughter, a former Princeton professor and State Department official, wrote on her Twitter account that talking about Wilson's complexity is a better choice than removing his likeness from campus altogether.
"Human complexity. All our idols have feet of clay. All our heroes have dark sides, but they can also do [great] things," she wrote on Twitter.

Ahead of the last-16, first leg tie, Mourinho said: "It's hard for me to believe we are going to play on that field - if you can call it a field.
"I don't know which team to play."
Uefa told BBC Sport the pitch "may not be in perfect condition, but has been deemed playable" following a pitch inspection on Wednesday.
"The match will go ahead as scheduled," a spokesperson added.
Mourinho drew comparisons with the quagmire that saw United's pre-season friendly against Manchester City in Beijing called off.
"In a very similar pitch in the summer in China, we and Manchester City decided not to play. But it looks like we have to play."
The Portuguese manager says the pitch could affect his team selection. Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is available after missing two games with a hamstring injury, but now Mourinho does not know whether to risk him.
"I don't know what team to play, really. I don't know if Henrikh Mkhitaryan is going to play, I don't know," said Mourinho.
In December, Mourinho was angered by Uefa making United play the Europa League group-stage decider at Zorya Luhansk on a frozen pitch.
Asked about his latest grievance he said: "I just had a quick contact with one gentleman from Uefa when I was looking at the pitch and when I told him about my concerns, the gentleman just told me, 'The players are insured, if something happens no problem'."

Lillo Troisi, 48, admitted manslaughter and arson after Khabi Abrey, 30, and her baby were found at a flat in Westcliff-on-Sea, in Essex, on 7 May 2016. They died two days later.
Troisi, who has paranoid schizophrenia, had not taken medication for 18 months.
He was acutely psychotic at the time, Blackfriars Crown Court heard.
The court was also told he had a history of drug taking and drug abuse.
More on this and other news at BBC Local Live: Essex
Troisi, who lived on the eighth floor of the Balmoral Road tower block, had deliberately started the fire with a can of petrol in the hallway outside Mrs Abrey's ninth-floor flat.
She was unconscious when emergency services found her.
Mrs Abrey, who was eight months pregnant, died in hospital from complications after breathing in fumes, post-mortem tests showed.
Her baby died after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Troisi had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and arson, but denied charges of murder and child destruction at an earlier hearing in November.
Speaking after Troisi was detained, Mrs Abrey's husband, Stuart, said: "The whole case has been really sad in that what happened was so preventable.
"I have been left wondering how someone with such dangerous tendencies could end up being anyone's neighbour without being cared for."
The judge's decision to detain Troisi under the Mental Health Act rather than jailing him, was "the right one", Mr Abrey added.
"I am pleased to hear that he will receive the correct treatment."
The UK prime minister will discuss the implications of the Brexit vote and the way ahead at an EU summit in Brussels.
German, French and Italian leaders said on Monday there could be no "formal or informal" talks on a British exit at this stage.
Meanwhile, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has called for a second referendum over the terms of the UK's departure.
He said the withdrawal process should be delayed until shortly before the next election - meaning a delay until after 2022 at the earliest.
He is the first cabinet minister to go public with the call.
Mr Hunt, who is considering standing for the leadership after Mr Cameron stands down, said the UK must remain within the EU's single market.
He floated the idea of a "Norway plus" arrangement outside the EU, where the UK would enjoy the current trade benefits of being a full EU member while negotiating revised immigration rules.
The British public's concerns about immigration needed to be addressed, he said, and that was also in the EU's interest as it "faced collapse" unless the current right of all citizens to live and work in other member states was reconsidered.
In other developments on Tuesday, Chancellor George Osborne ruled himself out of replacing Mr Cameron as prime minister.
He said in the Times that he had fought hard for a vote for remaining in the EU, and though he accepted the referendum result "I am not the person to provide the unity my party needs at this time."
Labour MPs will vote on a motion of no confidence in their leader Jeremy Corbyn - who has insisted he is staying put - while Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will address MSPs over Brexit's implications for Scotland's future.
As Europe tries to come to terms with Britain's decision to leave, Mr Cameron will attend a working dinner of EU leaders after meetings with European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
He will not attend talks between the leaders of the other 27 EU member states at breakfast on Wednesday.
Speaking on Monday, Mr Cameron said the UK must accept the referendum result and that a special unit within government was being set up to lay the initial groundwork for leaving the EU.
However, he has said that it must be up to his successor - who will be elected by the start of September - to decide how to proceed and precisely when to give formal notification of the UK's intention to leave by invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.
Under EU rules, once this happens, the UK would have two years to negotiate the terms of its divorce from the EU - unless the remaining 27 members unanimously agree to extend the process. It must also negotiate its future trading relationship with the EU.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said a new UK government must be given time to prepare itself, but she also said the process cannot be delayed indefinitely amid fears of "contagion" for an organisation facing multiple economic and political challenges.
French President Francois Hollande and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy have agreed with her stance.
The European Parliament will also meet on Tuesday in an emergency session to debate the fallout from the Brexit vote - including a non-binding motion urging the "immediate activation" of Article 50.
MEPs, who must ratify any final agreement with the UK, have said they want to be "fully involved" in the process and that withdrawal must be "swift and coherent" in order to protect the interests of the wider "European project".
After two days of sharp falls in the stock market and sterling and political turmoil engulfing both the Conservative and Labour parties, there is increasing uncertainty about what Brexit will entail and the precise nature of the mandate that Mr Cameron's successor will be given.
Speaking in the Commons on Monday, former Chancellor Ken Clarke said it should be up to MPs to decide the terms of the UK's exit and the blueprint set out by the Leave campaign during the referendum - including quitting the single market - should not be sacrosanct.
But Commons leader and Leave campaigner Chris Grayling said the UK was the EU's biggest customer and, as such, negotiations would be a two-way process. There will be real damage to European markets if a "sensible agreement" were not reached, he said.
Tuesday: Extraordinary European Parliament session in Brussels on Brexit vote 10:00-12:00 (08:00-10:00 GMT), including speeches by Mr Tusk, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and party leaders, probably including UKIP's Nigel Farage. There is also an EU summit (European Council) in Brussels, at which David Cameron will brief the other EU leaders over dinner, from 19:45 (17:45 GMT), explaining the political fallout in the UK
Wednesday: Second day of EU summit will feature breakfast talks between 27 leaders - Mr Cameron not attending. Talks focus on UK's "divorce process" as stipulated by Article 50, and Mr Tusk will "launch a wider reflection on the future of the EU"; press conferences in afternoon.
Emergency services were called to McDonald's on Eccleshall Road, in Stafford, at about 20:30 BST on Monday.

The tanks were sold to industry as part of defence cuts after the Cold War.
The German defence ministry said it would spend ???22m (??16m;$24m) on bringing its total of tanks to 328.
Nato officials agreed in February to create a quick-reaction force to meet the challenges posed by the Ukraine crisis and by Islamic extremists.
Nato defence ministers have also agreed to more than double the size of the alliance's Response Force.
The moves were seen as a signal that Nato regards Russia's seizure of Crimea and its military forays into eastern Ukraine as much more than a temporary crisis.
German defence ministry spokesman Jens Flosdorff confirmed a report by Der Spiegel (in German), saying 100 Leopard 2 battle tanks will be bought back from the defence industry, which has kept them in storage.
The spokesman said Germany has to ensure that it can deploy troops with the correct equipment to the right place in a short period of time, given the new goals of flexibility and swift reaction times.
"This can only succeed if the equipment does not need to be first moved around through the country," Mr Flosdorff said.
The tanks will begin to be modernised in 2017.
The move partially reverses a decision made four years ago to cut the total number of German tanks from 350 to 225.
American Johnson won the US Open last month and then his next event, the WGC Bridgestone Invitational.
World number one Jason Day, two-time major winner Jordan Spieth and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy are also expected to contend in Scotland.
"If I play my best stuff, I believe I am going to win," said Johnson, 32.
"I like my chances of winning. Obviously I'm playing pretty well right now. I always feel like I'm the best player in the world and I always expect to contend."
The oldest championship in professional golf gets under way at 06:35 BST on Thursday.
A win on the links course at Troon would not only see Johnson lift one of the most iconic trophies in sport - the Claret Jug, first presented in 1873 - but capture only his second major following last month's victory.
His US Open win ended a long wait for a major - following several near-misses - and Johnson continued: "It's definitely different not trying to win that first major. It's a good feeling, for sure.
"If I'm in contention on Sunday, just knowing I can get it done is a big confidence booster coming down the stretch."
Johnson's major near-misses included the 2010, 2011 and 2015 Opens but no-one has ever doubted he has the game to triumph in links conditions.
Victory at Troon would see Johnson replace Day at the top of the world rankings, as long as his Australian rival finishes outside the top 10.
Americans have won the last six Open Championships at Troon, including the unheralded Todd Hamilton the last time the event was staged there in 2004.
And Johnson's prodigious length off the tee could be key, with the first three holes, all of which are under 400 yards, driveable with the wind and the par-five fourth and sixth reachable in two.
Day, 28, says it was last year's heartbreak at St Andrews that gave him the strength to win the USPGA at Whistling Straits the following month and kick-started his surge to the top of the world rankings.
"Coming so close last year was definitely a motivational factor," said Day, who missed a three-way play-off by one shot, allowing Zach Johnson to triumph.
Day added that his collapse down the stretch at Firestone a fortnight ago, when he dropped three shots in the last four holes to allow Dustin Johnson to win the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, had not left any lasting scars.
Former world number one and four-time major winner McIlroy has endured an inconsistent season, missing the cut at the US Open and winning only once.
McIlroy is playing Troon for the first time but is confident his preparations have been comprehensive enough to make him a genuine contender.
"The golf course is pretty self-explanatory, you just have to be comfortable with the clubs you're hitting off the tees," said the world number four and 2014 Open champion, who missed last year's tournament at St Andrews because of injury.
In his practice round on Tuesday, McIlroy came a cropper at the 123-yard eighth hole, affectionately nicknamed the Postage Stamp, the 27-year-old requiring six shots to escape from the front-right bunker.
The Postage Stamp is the shortest hole on the Open rota but also one of the most terrifying, especially when the wind is blowing, as McIlroy can attest to.
"If you make four threes there this week, you're probably going to gain a bit of ground on the field," said McIlroy, who won the Irish Open in May and finished third at the French Open, his most recent event.
World number three Spieth also missed last year's Open play-off by one stroke, scuppering his chances of completing a season Grand Slam.
The 22-year-old, winner of the Masters and US Open in 2015, also suffered a back-nine meltdown at this year's Masters, handing the Green Jacket to England's Danny Willett, but believes Troon will play to his strengths.
"I've been here since Saturday and seen a couple of different wind conditions," said Spieth.
"I love this style of golf. I look forward to dealing with the tough conditions and trying to get into contention this week."
The last Scotsman to win the Open was Paul Lawrie in 1999, while no Englishman has won the Claret Jug since Faldo in 1992. Furthermore, the only British player to win an Open at Troon was Arthur Havers in 1923.
Aside from McIlroy, the highest ranked player from the United Kingdom is Willett, the world number nine. Fellow Englishman and world number 22 Chris Wood won the BMW PGA Championship in difficult conditions in May and has been in impressive form for the last few months.
Former US Open champion Justin Rose has had his fair share of struggles at the Open since finishing fourth as an amateur in 1998. He finished tied for sixth at a rain-sodden St Andrews but he has been hampered by a back injury this season. Rose missed the cut at the US Open and was well off the pace at Firestone.
Former world number one Lee Westwood has cut down his schedule and been in good form of late, while home favourite Colin Montgomerie, an honorary member of Royal Troon, will hit the first tee shot on Thursday.
Montgomerie might be 53, but so was Greg Norman when he finished third in 2008, while Tom Watson was 59 when he almost won in 2009. In addition, three of the last five champions were over 40, while Zach Johnson was 39.
Zach Johnson beat Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman in a play-off to win last year's Open but has not had a win this season. However, he comes to Troon with top-10 finishes at the US Open and Bridgestone Invitational behind him.
Rickie Fowler missed the cut at the Masters and US Open and has not won all season but has had a host of top-10 finishes. Fowler often thrives in tricky conditions, as shown by a fine third-round 68 at Royal St George's in 2011.
Australia's Adam Scott threw away the chance to become an Open champion in 2012, when he made four bogeys at the last four holes to hand the title to Ernie Els, and again at St Andrews last year. Scott, Masters champion in 2013, has won twice this year and there are few better ball-strikers in world golf.
Early starters on Thursday should expect a bit of cloud but that is expected to give way to sunny conditions, in stark contrast to last year's horrendous weather at St Andrews, where play finished on a Monday for the first time since 1988.
Rain is expected on Friday morning but the weekend forecast is for a mixture of bright spells and showers, with the strongest winds blowing in on Saturday.

Mr Trump said health had now become "an issue" in the election campaign.
Mrs Clinton was taken ill on Sunday at a 9/11 memorial ceremony and cancelled a campaign trip to California.
Mrs Clinton had "overheated" but was now re-hydrated and was "recovering nicely", her doctor said.
Mr Trump wished her a speedy recovery and said he would release the results of a medical examination he took over the past week, with "very, very specific numbers".
"Hopefully they're going to be good. I think they're going to be good. I feel great," he told Fox News.
So far Mr Trump has only released a note, in which his doctor declared that he would be "the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency".
Mr Trump, 70, and Mrs Clinton, 68, are among the oldest US presidential candidates in history.
What is 'walking pneumonia'?
A history of US presidential bad health
On Sunday, video showed Mrs Clinton being supported by aides as she entered a van to leave the 9/11 ceremony after an hour and 30 minutes.
She was taken to her daughter's flat in New York's Flatiron building and re-emerged later on Sunday, telling reporters: "I'm feeling great. It's a beautiful day in New York."
Mrs Clinton had been due to leave for California on Monday morning for a two-day trip that included fundraisers, a speech on the economy, and an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Her personal physician, Dr Lisa Bardack, said Mrs Clinton had "been experiencing a cough related to allergies. On Friday, during follow-up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule".
She then left for her home in Chappaqua, New York.
Mrs Clinton suffered a coughing fit last week at a campaign event in Cleveland, Ohio, which fuelled speculation about her condition.
Last month, Dr Bardack said in a letter that the candidate was "in excellent health and fit to serve as president of the United States". She had made a full recovery from surgery she underwent in 2012 for a blood clot, the doctor added.
But Mr Trump has repeatedly suggested she is unfit, telling supporters last month she "lacks the mental and physical stamina" to serve as president.
"I don't know what's going on. I'm like you, I see what I see," he said after Mrs Clinton's pneumonia diagnosis was confirmed.
The Clinton campaign has accused opponents of pushing a "deranged conspiracy" about her health.
George HW Bush once vomited on a Japanese prime minister. His son fainted in the White House after choking on a pretzel. Franklin Roosevelt hid his serious health conditions, and John F Kennedy never spoke of his debilitating back condition.
The difference between these men and Hillary Clinton, however, is that her "overheating" episode - the apparent result of a case of pneumonia - comes in the home stretch of a presidential campaign where she seeks to tie Ronald Reagan as the oldest person ever elected to a first term as president.
Then there are the conspiracy theories about her health - some advanced by top Trump campaign surrogates - which will become more frenzied. The campaign's decision to reveal Mrs Clinton's pneumonia diagnosis only after her very visible struggles two days later will certainly complicate matters.
Donald Trump, age 70, is not clear of medical concerns of course. The only information on his health comes from a haphazardly written note from his doctor.
Sunday's episode may keep Mrs Clinton off the campaign trail for a few days, then fade away. People who would otherwise have shrugged off her health rumours, however, are now watching her activity more closely.
Writing in the Washington Post, Todd C Frankel said Mrs Clinton had for years been discreet about her medical history and her discretion "made it difficult for voters to assess her complete health picture".
NBC News reporters said the incident had "sparked renewed calls for both Clinton and Trump, who are 68 and 70, respectively, to reveal more about their health".
Adam Nagourney, New York Times LA Bureau Chief, tweeted: "Is this hadn't happened, would Clinton campaign have announced pneumonia? One reason why Clinton/Trump should release medical records."
Vox News pointed out that the US has a rich history of presidential candidates being less than clear about their medical histories. "Looking back, we now know a number of past presidents and presidential candidates who have actually been much sicker than the public knew."
Mrs Clinton's team say she is suffering with "walking pneumonia" - a less serious type of the lung infection which leaves patients feeling unwell but doesn't usually require bed rest or hospitalisation.
Pneumonia is essentially an infection of the lungs which causes inflammation in the air sacs and fills them with fluid. Symptoms can include a cough, fever, fatigue, chills and shortness of breath.
Anyone can contract pneumonia, although smokers, older people, and sufferers of chronic lung diseases are at increased risk. There are two types - bacterial or viral. Bacterial pneumonia is common and easily treated with antibiotics.
Most people with so-called "walking pneumonia" can recover within a few days. Those with weak immune systems or existing conditions can take weeks to recover, and pneumonia can in some cases be fatal.
The broadcaster, which airs popular drama Downton Abbey, said it had seen 14% growth in net revenue for the three months ending March 2015.
Total revenue was £665m, up from £585m during the same period last year.
Broadcast and online revenue was also up by 10%, to £530m, along with the studios division, which saw revenue increase by 17%.
Adam Crozier, ITV chief executive, said: "We've had a strong start to the year with further growth across all parts of the business.
"In April we completed the acquisition of Talpa Media, the creator of entertainment formats including The Voice, The Voice Kids, Utopia and Dating in the Dark, which marked an important step forward in our strategy of building a world-class production and distribution business."
ITV's results came out as staff staged a 24-hour strike to coincide with the company's annual meeting. Unions have rejected a 2% pay rise, saying they should get a higher increase in view of the TV company's profits.
ITV's share price had dropped 1.5% by lunchtime.
Newly discovered fossils suggest Drepanosaurus had huge hooked claws to dig insects from bark, much like today's anteaters in the forests of Central and South America.
Scientists say the creature defies the convention on how reptiles evolved and flourished.
Their research is published in the journal Current Biology.
The new fossils, found in a New Mexico quarry, suggest Drepanosaurus was the size of a cat and lived in the trees.
It had a bird-like head on a chameleon-like body, but the most unusual feature was its forearms, said Dr Adam Pritchard, of Yale University, who led the research.
"Drepanosaurus itself has extremely massive arms and forearms - very muscular," he said.
"The index finger is much much larger than any of the other fingers and supports this gigantic claw, which is easily the most massive bone of the entire arm."
The forelimbs of tetrapods are known for their versatility, used to walk, dig, fly or swim.
However, the basic plan of the forelimb has stayed much the same throughout 375 million years of evolution.
"The arm of tetrapod animals almost always follows some very consistent rules," Dr Pritchard said.
The US team made 3D reconstructions of the reptile based on micro-CT (computerised tomography) scans of dozens of bones.
Other fossils that have been unearthed were partly crushed, making interpretation difficult.
"In your forearm, in the forearm of Tyrannosaurus rex, in the forearm of an elephant, you have two bones - the radius and the ulna, which manifest as these elongate, slender, parallel shafts," he explained.
But the Drepanosaurus did not have these parallel bones.
"So all of these consistent patterns that we see across a huge range of tetrapods, regardless of their ecology, regardless of their ancestry, are violated by this animal," Dr Pritchard said.
"On the one hand, it extends the bounds of what we think the arm of tetrapod animals - those four-footed animals in the world - is capable of in terms of its development, in terms of evolution.
"And, it is also remarkable in what it evidences about the ecology, the lifestyle of the animal, in that it seems to have quite independently developed adaptations that we see today in modern groups like anteaters."
Palaeontologist Dr Nicholas Fraser, of National Museums Scotland said the Triassic period was a "melting pot of experimentation".
"The unconventional rules in the Triassic," he said.
"Here is another animal which is completely unconventional in the way it has got this system of bones in the limb to help it dig - those are massive claws too."
Drepanosaurus disappeared at the end of the Triassic and did not lend its form to any future creatures.
"It was only useful in this one particular instance, where you have got a really specialised fossorial animal - a digger," Dr Fraser said.
"But it is the first real departure like this in the basic ground plan that you see ever since the first tetrapods invaded land 365 million years ago."
The researchers say they are continuing to excavate the quarries in New Mexico, with the hope of finding more discoveries.
"There's a lot - especially in terms of the smaller animals in the fossil record - that has remained undiscovered," said Dr Pritchard. "I don't see an end to it."

The glitch affected prices between 19:00 GMT and 20:00 GMT on Friday and involved firms who use the tool Repricer Express.
The company's chief executive, Brendan Doherty, said he was "deeply sorry for the disruption".
Amazon said most orders were cancelled after the error was spotted.
The orders were placed on its Marketplace service, which allows third-party companies to trade on Amazon.
Repricer Express automatically changes the cost of items for sale on Amazon Marketplace "to keep listings competitive 24/7 without constant attention".
In a statement, Mr Doherty said Repricer Express would be investigating the cause of the problem and putting measures in place to prevent it happening again.
"We managed to get the problem resolved so that any new prices going to Amazon were correct within about an hour of the problem being reported," he said.
"It took a further few hours to get incorrect prices reverted to their original prices where possible. Amazon have assured us that seller accounts will not be penalised for this issue."
He said the firm was helping Amazon to minimise the number of orders with incorrect prices being sent out.
"We take a lot of pride in the levels of service we provide so everyone here is disappointed that our customers have experienced this issue," he said.
A spokesman for Amazon said they were reviewing the small number of orders that were processed and would be directly contacting any affected sellers.
Repricer Express has been operating for over 10 years, and has offices in Derry and New York.
CIE Well Control Ltd, a specialist in subsea and surface operations, has called in administrators from KPMG.
The move comes after orders fell away, in the wake of the oil price collapse.
Twenty-one people have been made redundant, while two staff have been kept on to handle the administration process. A buyer for the assets is being sought.
In May, more than 50 jobs were lost at Aberdeen engineering firm Enterprise Engineering Services after the company went into administration.
During the same month oil and gas shipping company Harkand Group collapsed, with the loss of more than 170 jobs in Aberdeen and London.
Administrators at Deloitte were called in after the company was hit by the prolonged fall in global oil prices.

The dam is around 230 metres high and holds back a large lake.
The unusual amount of rain and snow has caused a lot of damage to two parts of the dam that let water escape.
Ayshah's been finding out what is going on.
Surrey County Council's cabinet voted to charge £1 an hour from next year to park at Newlands Corner near Guildford.
The site is visited by 550,000 people annually but the council wants to spend £400,000 introducing a family play trail and improving the toilets.
The council said it wanted to make countryside sites "self-financing".
The parking charges would pay for the first phase of upgrading work to be completed.
A second phase would involve work to the current cafe and providing shopping and educational space in a new visitor centre.
Richard Harrold, who started the online petition, said it was "utterly unacceptable" to introduce the charges.
Vivianne Norris, from Chilsworth, who signed it, said: "There is no need to change what is already a successful amenity for all, especially for retired or disadvantaged people often with limited means."
Charlotte Haibrock, from Guildford, said: "It's a disgrace to charge people to enjoy nature. We do not want the place commercialised as proposed."
A spokesman for the council said the cabinet's decision was likely to be "called in" and looked at again by the Economic Prosperity, Environment and Highways Scrutiny Board. No date has yet been set.
"Our ultimate aim is to make countryside sites become self-financing due to the heavy strain on our budgets from falling roads funding and rising demand for adult social care and school places," he said.
The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust was set up three years ago by the Bell family after a personal tragedy.
Colin Bell's 26-year-old son, Kevin, was killed in a suspected hit-and-run in New York in June 2013.
Since then, the charity has helped hundreds of families whose loved ones have died away from home.
The trust has been operating out of the new office for just three weeks. Until recently, it had carried out most of its work from Kevin's family home in Newry.
Mr Bell said the trust had "taken over" the house, with filing cabinets and boxes taking up space in bedrooms. They were offered an office in Rooney's Meadow at Whitegates Community Business Park in Newry, which is where I meet him early in the morning.
He shows me around and tells me that the new centre means they can "get everything done, park it and go home".
"If there's a repatriation ongoing we can do it over the phone, but we're not living with it 24/7," added Mr Bell.
It can cost several thousand pounds to repatriate bodies and, until the trust was established, families had to pay themselves because neither the UK or Irish governments cover the expense.
In the aftermath of Kevin's death, friends and people in Newry raised about £150,000 towards the cost of his repatriation from the US. However, after Kevin's American employers agreed to pay to transport his body home, the Bell family decided to use the money to help other families who faced the same situation.
Mr Bell said: "Whenever a family does get that devastating news - they don't know who to turn to and what we can do is take it out of their hands and we'll make the arrangements we'll get them home."
He described the trust as "Kevin's legacy" and said although the work can often bring back memories evoking the loss of his son, the work is "therapeutic" and keeps Kevin's name alive.
To date, the trust has arranged 217 repatriations to almost every county in Ireland.
One of those was 24-year-old Joe McDermott, from Omagh, County Tyrone, who died in a building site accident in Australia in December 2015.
His sister Laura said her family would never be able to repay the trust for helping them to get Joe's body back home.
"Joe was only out in Australia for four weeks when he passed away," Miss McDermott said.
"Within an hour of us hearing the news, the Claddagh Association in Perth phoned us to say everything was organised and that the Kevin Bell Trust would be paying for everything."
She had not heard of the trust before Joe's death, but described the help her family received as "such a relief".
"When you are in the midst of such heartbreak and grief the way we were, we just could not have coped with trying to organise something on that scale, and to know somebody out there was taking care of it and Joe was going to come home to us was such a relief," she said.
Her family have since raised money for the trust, in a bid to repay the Bell family for their generosity, but Miss McDermott said they will "never be able to repay them fully".
"We have a lovely relationship with them, and it's so nice to see my mum and dad speaking to them - two people who know what they're going through is so comforting.
"They do such extraordinary things. We'll never, ever be able to repay them, the only token of appreciation we can give is continue fundraising for them," she said.
Michael Douglas, from the Greater Shankill area of Belfast, also needed emergency financial assistance from the trust when his 30-year-old sister Heather died suddenly in the USA in November 2014.
He said his family wanted to get Heather home as soon as possible, but they were faced with immediate costs of between £8-10,000.
"Repatriation isn't an easy process, but Colin Bell was there," he said.
"To phone a man I've never spoken to before, on a Friday afternoon and spring that on him, my family probably could have gotten the money together but it wouldn't have been as quick.
"All I had to do was send him the details and she was on a flight to Belfast the next morning," said Mr Douglas.
He has since met Mr Bell and said his drive to help families who have gone through such a distressing experience is "amazing".
"It's the support they give - it's not just the financial side. It's the expertise and advice," he added.
"The trust is an essential thing, they'll help anyone."
The entire Bell family is involved in the trust and Colin Bell stressed that the support they get from all over Ireland - and the new centre in Newry - means they can continue helping families from every community who need it when tragedy occurs.
There is a photo of Kevin behind Mr Bell's desk in the new centre, and I ask him what he thinks his son would have made of the trust.
"Kevin always said he'd be famous, Kevin was a big character," Mr Bell said.
"He loved life, and he'd be proud that his name's being kept alive."
Six former pupils of The Royal School for the Blind in Liverpool have told the BBC about abuse dating back to the 1950s when some of them were just five.
The headmistress at the time, Margaret McLenan, has since died.
The school said it was "saddened" to hear the allegations and said such behaviour would not be tolerated today.
The six former pupils have never before spoken publicly about their experiences at the boarding school in Wavertree, which accommodated pupils from across the north-west of England and the Isle of Man.
The alleged abuse has also never been reported to, or investigated by, police.
There is no suggestion any of it was of a sexual nature.
Victims described how being beaten and shamed deprived them of their childhood and led to problems in later life.
Rachael Alcock, from Bury, told BBC Radio Manchester: "That woman should have been brought to justice, she should have been horsewhipped. She was evil right from top to bottom."
Mrs Alcock, who was called Catherine Smith at the time, added: "I am angry because my childhood was taken away from me by that horrible woman."
Another ex-pupil, Stephen Kingsberry, 66, from Manchester, said he had suffered a breakdown and spent six months in hospital as a result of being abused by Miss McLenan.
He said the attacks were made more traumatic because of the fact the children were blind.
"It was so horrific we couldn't see where it was coming from or when it was going to happen," he said.
A third former pupil, 64-year-old Stephen Binns, described how children were assaulted.
"I was six years old," he said. "She would line every child up, walking from one end of the dormitory to the other, smacking or beating every one of us."
Mr Binns is a community historian and honorary fellow of Liverpool John Moores University who was made MBE in 2004 in recognition of his contribution to heritage.
He said: "She would also humiliate them as if their crying was a serious offence."
Susan Todd, 65, also from Manchester, added: "It was absolutely terrifying... she would hit you on the head so your head would go back.
"It's a wonder we didn't suffer brain damage."
And David McWilliams, 71, from the Isle of Man, recalled another incident.
"Two boys were play fighting when she banged their heads together - you wouldn't get away with it now."
A sixth former pupil who spoke to the BBC and corroborated the accounts of abuse did not want to be identified.
Susan George, president of the Royal School for the Blind, told the BBC the charity was "saddened to hear of former pupils having such memories of their time at the school".
She added: "Such behaviour [as the former pupils allege] would not be tolerated in any school today."
Medical Detection Dogs chief executive Dr Claire Guest was training dogs to detect other cancers, when she said one of them "started to warn her".
She was subsequently found to have an early stage breast tumour.
Now in remission, Dr Guest is training dogs to recognise the cancer from a breath sample, in the hope an electronic nose can be developed.
Medical Detection Dogs is a charity that works with researchers, NHS Trusts and universities to train specialist dogs to detect the odour of human disease.
The charity was started in 2004 after a letter from Dr John Church to medical journal The Lancet claimed dogs could detect bladder cancer.
Dr Guest said stories of dogs finding their owners' cancer had been reported for a while.

"We started to wonder that if dogs were finding it by chance then perhaps we could actually train dogs to do this reliably," said Dr Guest.
The charity started to work with dogs, and they can now pick out cancer samples from control samples, but research has been mainly limited to bladder and prostate cancer.
Dogs are now being taught to detect breast cancer from a breath tube, after an animal Dr Guest was training to detect other cancers started to warn her.
"I was a bit bemused as to what she was doing, but I was subsequently found to have a very early stage breast tumour," she said.
"It was very deep and had my dog Daisy not warned me, I was told it could have been very serious and life-threatening because by the time I felt the lump it would have been very advanced."
Now in remission, the scientist has joined forces with her surgeon and other cancer specialists to search for the clinical proof that breast cancer can be "sniffed out".
In particular, they are looking to see if dogs can recognise it reliably from a breath test.
"There is a huge amount of potential for this work, not only in finding out where cancer is present but also in the development of an electronic nose in the future," said Dr Guest.
"A dog is in fact a very, very specialist pattern recognition bi-sensor - but he has got a waggy tail.
"He can tell us when something is there and when it's not and how quickly it disappears [when a sample is in contact with the air] and they can tell us how difficult it is to find.
"If we can find out how the dog is doing it then we can make machines in the future that could screen our breath and our urine for cancer volatiles."
This research is at a very early stage and the next step will be a clinical trial with samples from local hospitals.
"We need to find out how reliably dogs can indicate this and also if they can reliably indicate early grade and stage, because that would be the key for survival," said Dr Guest.
Latest figures from Cancer Research UK show nearly 50,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK and just under 12,000 die.
The hope is this research "has the potential to save thousands of lives".
"All our work with cancer is incredibly exciting," added Dr Guest.
"Everybody has a personal story [about cancer] and we know that anything that can assist in our fight against cancer is worthwhile, we know we can make a difference."
This follows hot on the heels of the Omar al-Bashir controversy, and the trials of Oscar Pistorius and Shrien Dewani.
Was the report a whitewash? Ferial Haffajee, editor of the weekend newspaper City Press, tweeted: "Sticking my neck out: I don't think 'whitewash' sticks."
Many South Africans took to social media to condemn the report, especially its recommendations.
They wanted to see a huge political figure, such as Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, take responsibility for his actions.
At the time, Mr Ramaphosa was a shareholder in Lonmin, the owner of the Marikana mine.
But President Zuma was reading the commission's recommendations. These were not his findings.
Reports of this nature appear to be simple but they are full of legalese. A lot of the conclusions are left to interpretation or suggest another investigation.
One can sympathise with the people who lost loved ones three years ago and are utterly frustrated by the idea of yet another inquiry.
If an investigation is launched by prosecutors, the trial might drag for a very long time, meaning victims and relatives may never find closure.
While the report apportions some fault to the unions who took part in the wildcat wage strike, much of the blame is aimed squarely at the police.
Police Chief Riah Phiyega seems to be the highest-ranking person likely to take the hit.
Some of her junior staff are vulnerable too, such as the regional police chief of the North West province, Lieutenant-General Zukiswa Mbombo.
Just before police opened fire on the miners, Lt Gen Mbombo told the media: "Today is D-Day: we are ending this matter".
Last month, she announced she was retiring.
There does not seem to be any politician who is going to take responsibility for the killings of the 44.
There is no way President Zuma could afford to let his trusted deputy Cyril Ramaphosa shoulder some of the blame because that would jeopardise the current leadership succession plan.
If Mr Ramaphosa had to go to prison for sending emails asking the police minister to intervene at the mine during the violent wage strike, there would be a gaping hole in the post-Zuma ANC leadership line-up.
Once the dust settles, we will see whether the police chief will voluntarily step down or if she leaves the man who appointed her no choice but to fire her.
The sad part of this saga is that there are no talks of reparations for the miners who died and most of them were breadwinners.
Northern Territory police had been "seriously concerned" for the group amid what meteorologists called a twice-a-century weather event.
Four of the six were rescued by helicopter on Tuesday, while the remaining two were found on Wednesday.
The Christmas storm drenched the usually dry region, causing flash floods and turning the soil into mud.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said the conditions were extremely rare, creating waterfalls all over Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, a site sacred to indigenous people at the heart of a famous Northern Territory national park.
The six were travelling in two cars when they became stranded on the way from the remote community of Kiwirrkurra, Western Australia, to Kintore, in the Northern Territory.
The pair rescued on Wednesday - a man, 30, and a woman, 27 - were trying to walk 28km (17 miles) from their car to Kintore, police said.
Both were receiving medical treatment while the four others were safe and well. Police said earlier reports an infant was among the group were incorrect.
"Many roads in the area remain impassable and police urge people to obey all signage regarding closed roads and to exercise extreme caution. If possible, please delay any travel in areas affected by floods," police said in a statement on Wednesday.
The conditions of the roads meant police were forced to use helicopters to search the area, which has no mobile phone signal.
Flash floods in Kintore - where more than 232mm (9in) of rain fell on Monday, more than double the record December rainfall - also forced the evacuation of dozens of residents.
Northern Territory police told Australia's ABC Network that up to 25 houses were flooded in the town, near the border with Western Australia.
Papunya, another town 250km from Alice Springs, was completely cut off, while the town square of Yulara - the nearest community to Uluru - was inundated.
Meanwhile, a car carrying two tourists near Alice Springs was washed off a road into a flooded creek. Police, who initially believed three people were in the vehicle, said both were safe.
Rangers closed the Uluru-Kata Tjuta national park at 09:00 local time on Boxing Day (23:30 GMT on Christmas Day), citing the risk of flooded roads and potential car accidents.
Parks Australia said on Tuesday that they had reopened the park but urged people to drive carefully as there was still surface water on the roads.
Uluru is a large sandstone rock in the outback sacred to the indigenous Anangu people, and one of Australia's top tourist attractions.
But the Pars still slumped to second bottom place in the Championship.
Allan Johnston's side have only managed two wins so far, against St Mirren and Dumbarton, which explains the position.
But they really should have taken full points from a fiercely contested Fife derby as they were the more impressive side going forward.
They certainly created the better of the few chances in a frantic first half lacking in composed football, but Farid El Alagui squandered the best of them in 39 minutes.
Joe Cardle danced clear of two challenges in a central area before sliding a pass that left the former Hibs striker with only Kevin Cuthbert to beat, but the Rovers goalkeeper blocked the parting shot.
Prior to that, strike partner Nicky Clark sliced a shot wide from the edge of the penalty area and, just before the interval, Cardle fired a drive past from 20 yards against a side lacking cohesion from middle to front.
In fact it took a spectacular diving headed clearance by Iain Davidson from underneath his own crossbar to prevent Kallum Higginbotham's driven cross from finding the net in 56 minutes.
It took an hour for the Kirkcaldy side to create a decent chance of their own after Mark Stewart broke clear on the right, but Ross Callachan was unable to convert the pullback from six yards.
The Rovers midfielder shot wide of the goal with 15 minutes left after goalkeeper Sean Murdoch made a mistake when coming off his line in an attempt to clear.
Overall, it was a typical derby clash and Rovers manager Gary Locke will be happy with the determination and commitment his players showed, especially the well-organised defence.
He will be concerned about the lack of quality link-up play from middle to front, while his Dunfermline counterpart will feel that, if they can strike the right balance between attack and defence, things can turn for them.
Dunfermline Athletic manager Allan Johnston: "It was the same at Dumbarton last week as we probably deserved the win but came away with just a point.
"The positive thing is we defended a lot better and looked solid, but you have to give Raith Rovers credit for the way they defended.
"Especially when Iain Davidson cleared from under his own bar in the second half as I don't know how he got that out.
"You can see the quality we have got in some of our play and if we keep producing that then we will get more wins."
Raith Rovers manager Gary Locke: "It was 100 miles an hour at times and the first half in particular was hectic. We created chances in the second half.
"Over the piece, a draw is a fair result and Iain Davidson shows what the boys are all about as he's not a right back, but he's been outstanding there for the team.
"Kevin McHattie also showed the character we are looking for as he got injured in the first half, but for us to be successful we need boys to put their bodies on the line and he did.
"He got a deadleg early in the match, but he carried on for the full 90 minutes showing real determination, which is what we need."

The man's body was found at a property on York Avenue in Portstewart shortly after 17:00 BST on Sunday.
A post-mortem examination is due to be carried out.
There are no further details.
Video footage emerged showing the woman clinging on to a window shouting: "I'm pregnant! Catch me if I fall!"
A man, who was also trying to escape the shootings, helped her back up when it seems she grew too tired to hang on.
Her friend tracked down the man on Twitter and put them in contact, he told the Huffington Post.
A total of 89 people were killed and more than 100 injured when gunmen stormed the Bataclan concert hall during a concert by US band Eagles of Death Metal on Friday.
The pregnant woman, who prefers to remain anonymous, could not thank her rescuer in the wake of the carnage at the Bataclan. So her friend, Frans-Alexandre Torreele, asked Twitter to help her find him:
"Thanks Twitter," Mr Torreele tweeted on Monday. "This pregnant woman is well and she found her saviour through Twitter."
"The man who helped my friend to climb in the window of the Bataclan was found," he said in another tweet. "The rest of the story belongs to them."
Mr Torreele told the Huffington Post that he had spoken to his friend to make sure it was the right person.
"She was saved thanks to a succession of small gestures, a little bit of attention, and, in this moment of total craziness, these minuscule gestures accomplished big things," Mr Torreele said.
"That's what my friend wants people to know. It's hard to imagine how merely holding out a hand, or putting a hand on a shoulder can save people. These people should thank each other, should hold each other in their arms."
The rescuer, a Frenchman known only as Sebastien, told French radio he was able to rescue her "by chance".
He had sought refuge from the hostage-takers through an emergency exit next to the stage, which led to a corridor, but realised there was no way through, only two windows, too far up to be able to jump from.
He found refuge in a ventilation shaft with his legs dangling on the outside of the building, about 15 metres above ground.
This is where he saw the pregnant woman hanging from the other window and who was calling down towards passers-by fleeing below her to catch her as she was going to jump.
But no-one was stopping because of all the shooting going on, he said.
"At one point, she said she was going to let go. In that case, you cannot watch someone die in front of your eyes, there had been too many already."
So he went back to the corridor and helped her up.
He said he found out on Monday that she was alive, and that they were due to speak to each other on Tuesday.
Sebastien said they had gone in separate directions soon afterwards, but five minutes later he had felt the barrel of a Kalashnikov against his leg.
He was held captive for some time, but says he managed to escape when police stormed the Bataclan.

Cally Russell, 27, had been looking for £75,000 for his shopping app Mallzee when he appeared on BBC's Dragons' Den.
But he walked away from an offer by dragon Peter Jones after they could not agree on terms.
Mr Russell, whose company is based in Edinburgh, later struck a deal with Samsung UK and Ireland.
Under the partnership, Mallzee will be available on Samsung GALAXY Apps and other channels during 2015.
Mallzee, which was founded by Mr Russell in 2012, is a personalised shopping app, which allows users access to more than 100 fashion stores at one go.
It also lets shoppers build their own "style feeds".
During his appearance on Dragons' Den, Mr Russell asked the dragons to invest £75,000 for a 5% stake in his business.
Peter Jones offered him the full amount, after telling him Mallzee was "either a £100m business or nothing".
He added that you had to be "ballsy to invest in Mallzee".
But Mr Russell walked away after the dragon said he wanted a 15% share of the company.
Mr Russell, who is the son of MSP Mike Russell, said: "It felt awful to turn down the money in Dragons' Den but I simply couldn't undervalue the business like that and now, thanks to this agreement, I know it was the right decision.
"I'm sure over the coming years we can prove Peter Jones right and become at least a £100m business.

The formal business will stop on Thursday, when the current Parliament is - to use its terminology - prorogued.
It will then be officially dissolved by the Queen on 3 May.
But before that happens, there will be a flurry of action as the fate of outstanding legislation is decided.
In what is known as the wash-up period, the Commons and Lords will decide what bills they want to let through and which they will effectively put out to grass.
Speaking on Monday, Commons Leader David Lidington said he hoped there would be a "swift and orderly conclusion" of parliamentary business.
One bill guaranteed to pass is the Northern Ireland Bill.
This is emergency legislation drafted to enable domestic rate bills to be calculated in Northern Ireland in the absence of a sitting assembly.
The bill, which will extend the period by which a functioning executive can be formed, in an attempt to resolve the current political deadlock, will be fast-tracked through Parliament on Monday.
Other bills that do not make the cut this time could be revived after the election should the Conservatives be re-elected.
Brexit looms
But with Brexit looming large on the horizon, the scope for other legislation in the next few years is expected to be substantially reduced.
Some of the bills may never see the light of day again.
Just as intriguing are the changes that MPs and peers may demand from the government's business managers in return for approving legislation.
In past years, these have often been quite substantial, with whole sections of bills removed or, in some cases, clauses added to salvage them as they "ping-pong" between the two Houses.
So which bills are still in the mix and what is likely to happen to them?
The bill, which enacts measures included in Philip Hammond's Budget last month, will be given priority and is expected to be rushed through its remaining stages in the Commons on Tuesday.
As well as enacting changes to duties, the legislation - whose approval by the Lords is a formality - includes provisions on tax avoidance and tackling childhood obesity.
This bill, which is designed to increase competition and choice in higher education and raise standards in research and innovation, has been agreed in principle by both the Commons and Lords.
But amendments have yet to be hammered out as part of the process of "ping pong".
Given ministers have been defeated in the Lords on issues such as the scope of degree-granting powers, it might require compromises to get on the statute book.
No date has so far been set for final consideration.
This bill is on its final lap, with MPs due to consider a single Lords amendment relating to the life sciences sectors on Tuesday.
The legislation is designed to bear down on the spiralling cost of NHS medicines and other medical supplies and secure "best value" for the health service and taxpayers.
This wide-ranging legislation will entitle consumers to minimum broadband speeds, increase protection for intellectual property online, restrict access to online pornography, provide more scope for data-sharing within the public sector and increase the powers of Ofcom with regard to BBC regulation.
It has commanded cross-party support throughout and is likely to become law, pending MPs' consideration of Lords amendments on Wednesday.
There is not much time for this big bill, which begins report stage in the Lords on Tuesday, to become law.
Peers have tabled 50 amendments, which could slow things down, but if the government and opposition can agree, possibly by setting aside the most controversial aspects, it still has a chance of making it through.
It includes new powers to oblige suspects to explain the origin of their assets and for the authorities to seize the proceeds of crime stored in bank accounts or used to purchase property or jewels.
It would also create a new offence enabling companies facilitating tax evasion to be prosecuted as well as measures on combating terrorist finance.
Peers are due to consider Commons amendments to this bill - which is designed to improve the quality of technical education and apprenticeships while addressing skill shortages - on Tuesday. If there is enough time, the bill is likely to pass.
Peers are due to consider Commons amendments to this bill - which aims to identify and free up more land for homebuilding and speed up the delivery of new homes - on Tuesday. If there is enough time, the bill is likely to pass.
Peers are due to consider Commons amendments to this bill - which will give new powers to English local transport authorities to introduce franchising and new partnership arrangements and to offer multi-operator ticketing services - on Tuesday.
The government has already admitted this bill, put forward by the former Justice Secretary Michael Gove before the EU referendum, will be shelved, at least temporarily.
This is after MPs and peers stated there was not enough time to scrutinise its contents - which included changes to prison inspections and the use of mobile phones by prisoners, a new online dispute resolution system for civil cases as well as changes to judicial appointments and compensation for whiplash injuries.
This bill, which would, among other things, change the motor insurance system to prepare for the arrival of driverless cars and incentivise the take-up of electric vehicles, has also come to a halt for now.
It hadn't progressed far enough in the Commons and has yet to be even considered by the Lords.
A motion has been passed carrying it over to the next Parliament.
The Local Government Finance Bill has also been parked for another day.
A host of bills tabled by backbenchers are currently working their way through the legislative system. Most are likely to run out of time, but a handful that have the support of the government could possibly become law if the Lords gets around to approving them.

Dougal went missing from his Chelmsford home about ten days ago, prompting Hannah Butcher and Darren Brown to put up posters "absolutely everywhere".
They have been "inundated" with calls after the Essex Chronicle reported a leopard could be terrorising the area.
"It's not a leopard," Miss Butcher said."It's bound to be Dougal, my cat."
At 7kg (15lbs) Dougal, aged seven, is a distinctive feline as he has no tail, "but he's not a leopard and he's not a sphinx, either", his owner told the BBC.

Dougal's disappearance had left the couple "devastated", but after reading about the fearless feline roaming the area, "the search for him possibly took an unexpected turn," Mr Brown said.
The newspaper published extracts from an anonymous letter claiming a "huge" wild cat was on the loose in the Chelmsford suburb.
The "Beast of Broomfield" had left the letter writer "shaken" and terrified her Yorkshire terrier, Dylan, after roaming through her back garden.
The woman, who had been washing the dishes at the time, was stopped in her tracks when she spotted the "huge cat with leopard-like markings and no tail".
She told the newspaper she wanted to warn other pet owners and parents of small children about the "jungle cat" that had reduced her pet terrier to a "whimpering" wreck.
After the Mirror also picked up the story of Broomfield's "beast", Mr Brown said: "We have been inundated with calls from people who know him, or received our flyer, convinced that our Dougal is the 'Beast of Broomfield'."
However, Miss Butcher was quick to dismiss the wild cat theory.
"How many cats can there be with such distinctive markings and no tail? It's just my domestic Bengal," she said.
"All I want is to have Dougal back home."

It is home to 16 grand busts of figureheads like Robert Burns and John Knox - people who are recognised for helping to shape the history of their country.
But not one of them is a woman.
Now, for the first time in more than 100 years, a new bust is set to be added to the collection - and this time it will be a heroine.
A list of more than 200 remarkable women has been whittled down to a shortlist of 14 by a female-only selection panel.
It will be up to the public to vote for their preferred choice in an online poll.
Among the women on the selection panel was the chairwoman of Stirling District Tourism, Zillah Jamieson.
She said: "These historic female figures have been chosen because they have shaped Scotland's history and surprised, delighted and inspired generation after generation with their determination, fortitude and spirit - the very values which William Wallace stood for.
"Some have exhibited selflessness or personal commitment to social improvement and others were leaders in their fields, achieving worldwide recognition but all are worthy of a place in the Hall of Heroes among legends such as King Robert the Bruce, Sir Walter Scott and John Knox."
Here is a run down of the women on the shortlist.
Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (1864-1933)
The wife of Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a naturally gifted and innovative artist in her own right.
Her design work was one of the defining features of the "Glasgow style" during the 1890s, and Charles himself said he owed much of his success to his wife.
Watch a clip examining her work from BBC Two's Mr and Mrs Mackintosh here.
Màiri Mhòr nan Òran (1821-1898)
Màiri Mhòr nan Òran - Big Mary of the Songs - was one of the most prolific Gaelic poets of the 19th century.
She appears to have found her voice relatively late in life, after being wrongly accused of theft and serving time in prison.
A nurse from Skye, her songs are said to have given voice to the victims of oppression and are still widely sung today.
Jean Redpath (1937-2014)
Despite having no formal training, for many Jean Redpath was the voice of Scots traditional song.
As well as being a renowned folk singer and musician, she was an ambassador for traditional Scots music.
She was awarded an MBE for services to music in 1987 and was inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame in 2008.

Nancy Riach (1927 -1947)
This champion swimmer held 28 Scottish and British swimming records by the time she was 17.
But her life was tragically cut short when she contracted polio aged 20, and lost her life to the disease.
After her death she was hailed as the finest swimmer that the British Empire ever produced.
Victoria Drummond (1894-1978)
The god-daughter of Queen Victoria, this remarkable women made some astonishing achievements during her career in marine engineering.
Despite facing prejudice, she became the first woman marine engineer in Britain, the first British woman to serve as a Merchant Navy chief engineers, and the first woman member of the Institute of Engineers.
Her courage at sea during World War II saw her rewarded with an MBE and the Lloyd's War Medal for Bravery at Sea.
Find out more about Victoria Drummond at the National Library of Scotland.
Chrystal Macmillan (1872-1937)
Chrystal Macmillan was a towering figure and a pioneer in education and law.
She became the first female science graduate from the University of Edinburgh, the first woman to plead a case at the House of Lords, and she was one of the founders of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.
She campaigned for the women's right to vote and a building in her name is now home to the University of Edinburgh's school of social and political science.
Dorothée Pullinger (1894 - 1986)
Dorothée Pullinger was another pioneer in the male-dominated engineering industry.
She is most famous for the Galloway Car - a vehicle made by women in south-west Scotland for women around the world.
But during World War One she was responsible for 7,000 women employed in manufacturing high explosive shalls at Vickers in Barrow-in Furness.
And in World War Two, she managed 13 factories.
Mary Somerville (1780-1872)
An outstanding mathematician, astronomer, scientist and writer, Mary Somerville's achievements have recently been recognised by the Royal Bank of Scotland.
They announced last year that she would be the face on the new £10 note.
During her life, she was one of the first women elected as honorary members of the Royal Astronomical Society. Somerville College at Oxford was also named after her.
Elsie Inglis (1864-1917)
After qualifying as a physician in the unwelcoming, male-dominated world of medicine, Elsie Inglis established a maternity hospital in Edinburgh.
As well as campaigning for women's voting rights, she went on to found women's hospitals in war zones across Europe before her death in 1917.
During her lifetime she was held in particularly high regard in Serbia, where she was awarded the Serbian Order of the White Eagle in 1916.
Sophia Jex-Blake (1840-1912)
Sophia Jex-Blake was refused entry to Harvard to study medicine because she was a woman; when she eventually gained entry to the University of Edinburgh, she was effectively barred from graduating.
She showed remarkable tenacity however and eventually qualified as a doctor in Switzerland.
Following that, she had a remarkable career. She founded a medical practice in Edinburgh, the Edinburgh Hospital and Dispensary for Women and Children (later the Bruntsfield Hospital), and the Edinburgh School of Medicine for Women.
Maggie Keswick Jencks (1941-1995)
A writer, gardener and designer, Maggie Keswick Jencks designed the blueprint for the Maggie's Centres.
They offer practical, emotional and social support for people diagnosed with cancer, their families and friends.
There are now about 20 Maggie's Centres across the UK.
Jane Haining (1897-1944)
Jane Haining was a Church of Scotland missionary and matron of the Jewish Girls' Home in Budapest.
When World War II broke out, she defied orders to return to Scotland and she stayed with the children for four years.
She was eventually arrested by the Gestapo and she died at Auschwitz. She was the only Scot to be honoured for giving her life for the Jews in the Holocaust.
Christian Maclagan (1811-1901)
Christian Maclagan was arguable Scotland's first female archaeologist.
Despite her extensive work and important discoveries, she was denied full membership of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland because she was a woman.
She also devoted much of her life to alleviating poverty in Stirling - her hometown - and providing adequate housing.
Mary Slessor (1848-1915)
Mary Slessor was inspired by Scottish missionary David Livingston to dedicate her life to service.
She worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life for native people in Calabar, Nigeria, against a background of prejudice and opposition.

The Renfrewshire town, which is bidding to become UK City of Culture in 2021, will host this year's event at Paisley Town Hall on Wednesday 29 June.
The award was developed in 2012 by the Scottish Music Industry Association in partnership with Creative Scotland.
Previous winners include Kathryn Joseph, Young Fathers, RM Hubbert and Bill Wells and Aidan Moffat.
Caroline Cooper, from the Say awards, said: "We are thrilled to be bringing the Say Award to Paisley for the next two years.
"The award celebrates the very best of Scottish music and what better place to hold the ceremony than in a town so steeped in cultural history."
Members of the public can nominate albums on the Say website.
A shortlist will be announced later this year ahead of the ceremony in June.
Leonie Bell, director of arts and engagement at Creative Scotland, said: "We are delighted to be able to support the fifth year of the award and are looking forward to the 2016 ceremony hosted in Paisley Town Hall.
"It is fitting that the ceremony is hosted in Paisley, home to musical talent of Paolo Nutini and the late Gerry Rafferty, as it makes its bid to be UK City of Culture 2021."

In some markets you can pay as much as $2 (£1.40) for a single tomato.
The prices have been steadily rising since March - and last month a state of emergency was declared in the tomato sector of one state.
"This tomato crisis is no joke. My mom's friend grows tomatoes and sent us a little box and my mom looks like she's going to cry," one tweeter said this week.
Halima Umar, a journalist in the BBC's Abuja bureau who colleagues say is an excellent cook, says she used to buy a basket of tomatoes a week - but now her family is having to get used to life without them.
"I've tried using preserved tomatoes in sachets as an alternative, but they turn stews sour - and are also expensive because they're imported," she said.
Nigerian food blogger Dunni Obata tried to help out by tweeting a link to her tomato-less stew.
"@DooneysKitchen to the rescue… hoping the price of substitutes don't go up," one person tweeted.
Other recipes are also being shared, including by Olapeju Aiyegbayo, who runs the catering company Zurielle's Pot in Ibadan.
She has helpfully posted videos on her Facebook page, showing how to prepare them.
Though not everyone who has experimented with the various recipes has been so complimentary about how things turned out. One man complained, not naming names: "This lady just messed up my rice and beans with this tomato less stew... shame on everybody responsible for this tomato crisis."
Ms Obata explains why stews are ubiquitous in Nigerian cooking.
"Wherever in the world a Nigerian is, there is bound to be a stew in the fridge. Even people who don't cook, manage stew," she explains on her blog Dooney's Kitchen.
Nigerian chef and food writer Nky Iweka, who calls herself "the executive Mama Put" - after the colloquial name for food stall vendors in Nigeria - said someone once told her that "Nigerian tomato stew (sauce to the rest of the world) is one of the world's culinary wonders".
"I'm inclined to agree. I use it in all manner of ways: To make bolognaise, as a pizza base, to eat with boiled rice, plantain or yam and of course to make our beloved jollof rice," she told the BBC.
"So when I read about the tomato shortage in Nigeria, I understood their despair."
Why is there a tomato crisis?
BBC journalist and tomato farmer Nasidi Adamu Yahaya explains:
The pest is actually a moth called the Tomato Leaf Miner, or Tuta Absoluta and it first appeared in early March. It has mainly affected states in the north: Jigawa, Kano, Kaduna and Katsina, but has also caused mayhem in Plateau and Lagos.
I have some land in Kano, from which I can produce about 30,000 tomatoes - that's about 2,000 big baskets. I was lucky because I planted early and managed to harvest all the fruit by mid-March, but you can harvest until May and those who planted a little later, like my best friend, have lost nearly all their crop.
The moths ravage the whole plant - leaves, tomatoes and stalk. They're like termites devouring wood.
It has cost the sector millions of dollars and affected 80% of farmers. But there is hope for the next season, as the Nigeria's National Research Institute for Chemical Technology has told the BBC that it has developed a pesticide that should eradicate the ravenous moths.
However, Ms Iweka, says the fact that tomatoes have become a culinary staple is ironic as they are not native to Nigeria.
"Traditionally, we would not have used tomatoes in any of the wide variety of dishes we have: Yam pottage, bean casserole, okro soup, oha soup, onugbu soup, nsala soup."
It's the love of rice that has led to the tomato anguish, as "most Nigerians eat rice at least once a day", she says.
"However, we do have other sauces that can be eaten with rice: Ayamase stew, thickened fisherman's soup, curry, various vegetable soups, bean casserole."
And the four quoted cooks have given the BBC permission to reproduce their recipes to help Nigerians through this time of "tomato-geddon".
Ingredients: Two red bell peppers (about 550g); seeded and quartered, one large onion (about 200g); peeled and quartered, one small onion (about 60g), peeled and thickly sliced, one scotch bonnet chilli, about 8g (or to taste optional); four tablespoon fresh thyme; 300ml groundnut or other vegetable oil.
Instructions
Liquidise the bell peppers, quarter onion and chilli (optional) with little water - aim for a fairly chunky mixture. Place oil and sliced onions in a pan and fry until the onions turn black. Remove and discard them. Turn down the heat and fry the tomato puree for a minute or so and then add the thyme and liquidised vegetables.
Continue to fry the stew on a low to medium heat for about 20-30 minutes and the mixture will reduce. You will know it's ready when the oil floats to the top. Any additions such as cooked/fried meat, fish or chicken should be made now. Cook for a further five-10 minutes to heat them through. Drain the oil and serve
Ingredients: Three onions; eight to 10 potatoes; one medium cabbage; six carrots; four cloves of garlic and a few chicken breasts.
Instructions: Boil chicken pieces and set aside, then boil some small potatoes, drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a pan on a medium heat, add onions, garlic and carrots. Cook for eight minutes stirring continuously then add a small amount of chicken broth, now add the chicken pieces and the boiled potato. Add salt and seasoning. Reduce the heat and mix in corn flour with water and pour in. Then add some shredded cabbage and allow to simmer for few minutes. Serve with rice, spaghetti or anything you like. Serves five.
Ingredients: Tatshe (red bell peppers); shombo pepper (long red chilli) use half or all; a few ata rodo (scotch bonnet or habanera pepper) - the bigger ones are not as hot as the small; ginger; three or four fairly large onions; half an iru (fermented locust bean) - if you like iru for fuller flavour use all and garlic is good alternative if you don't like iru; vegetable oil; ike eran(hump of the cow); palm oil (optional but good to use if the stew is too hot.
Instructions: Blend all the ingredients into a smooth paste then check the taste. Here you can add more ata rodo (scotch bonnet) if it's not hot enough. Place in a pot and bring to the boil this intensifies the pepper mix and develops the rich red colour. Heat the oil and add chopped onions, add more iru if you want and extra garlic. Add the boiled pepper and allow to fry until thickened. Lighten with beef stock or fried meat. Taste and then add more seasoning as need.
Ingredients: One kilo of beef; one or two shombo pepper (long red chillies); one medium sized onion: two or three tatashe's (bell peppers); a piece of ginger; palm oil; groundnut oil; salt; seasoning cube; two or three pieces of rodo (scotch bonnets).
Instructions: Cut up the beef, season, cook on medium heat with half a cup of water; de-seed and rinse the peppers. (Keep seeds if you want a hot stew). Blend peppers until smooth then in a separate pot add one cooking spoon of groundnut oil and one cooking spoon of palm oil. Next add the piece of peeled ginger for flavour then pour in the blended peppers. check the beef, it should be tender, sieve the stock and pour into the stew. Cook on a medium heat for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally. After 15 minutes add the beef, reduce the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool for two minutes. | Nigerians love their tomatoes, so their culinary life has been hit hard by soaring prices across the country caused by a pest wiping out crops. | 36,424,153 | 1,917 | 34 | false |
The audit is aimed at highlighting racial and socio-economic disparities and showing how outcomes differ due to background, class, gender and income.
The prime minister said the findings would "shine a light on injustices".
A recent report found racial inequality remained "entrenched" in Britain.
Black graduates earn on average 23% less than white ones and are far more likely to be unemployed, the Equality and Human Rights Commission concluded.
Entering Downing Street for the first time as prime minister last month, Mrs May acknowledged not everyone was treated equally in society and there were too many cases of "burning injustices" arising from people's race and background.
In her first announcement since returning from her summer holiday, Mrs May ordered government departments to identify and publish details of the varying experiences and outcomes of different groups when using public services.
The information, which will be published within a year and updated annually after that, will cover health, education, employment, welfare, skills and criminal justice.
Downing Street said the audit would be unprecedented in its scope and transparency, enabling the public to hold public services to account and force improvements.
Announcing the review - to be conducted by a new unit within the Cabinet Office - No 10 said it was unacceptable that black women were still seven times more likely to be detained under mental health laws than white women, and that the employment rate for ethnic minorities was 10% lower than the national average.
The evaluation will also look into the disadvantages experienced by white working class boys in the school and university system, as well as inequalities linked to geographical location, such as inner cities and coastal towns.
"The government I lead will stand up for you and your family against injustice and inequality," Mrs May said.
"This audit will reveal difficult truths but we should not be apologetic about shining a light on injustices as never before.
"It is only by doing so we can make this country work for everyone not just a privileged few."
As home secretary, Mrs May clamped down on police stop-and-search policies in black communities following the publication of Home Office data showing that people from black and other ethnic minority groups were seven times more likely to be stopped and searched by the police than their white counterparts.
Labour has said the new PM should be judged on her actions not her rhetoric, arguing that lower-income groups have suffered disproportionately from cuts to benefits over the past six years of Tory rule, as well changes to the tax system and the scrapping of grants such as the education maintenance allowance.
Both Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and challenger Owen Smith have put reducing inequality at the heart of their leadership campaigns, with Mr Corbyn calling for all but the smallest firms to carry out equality pay audits and Mr Owen calling for the party to refocus its approach on promoting equality of outcomes not opportunities.
Simon Woolley, director of Operation Black Vote, said he was encouraged by Mrs May's announcement, which he called a "bold" first step.
He called for an "Olympic approach" to inequality.
"Twenty years ago we won one gold medal in Atlanta, then we had an audit, then we had a comprehensive action plan. Twenty years later we're second in the world," he said.
Prof Danny Dorling, of Oxford University, said both Labour and Conservative governments had a "track record" of ordering such audits "when they don't want to do something".
"What happens is within two or three years every single one of these audits is forgotten," he said.
He said the "biggest difference in life chances in Britain is between rich and poor people", and he said Mrs May was "skirting away from that because she doesn't really want to address the fundamental difference". | Prime Minister Theresa May has ordered a review into how ethnic minorities and white working class people are treated by public services such as the NHS, schools, police and the courts. | 37,194,207 | 819 | 39 | false |
The Lions of Zululand were supposed to perform at a school in London, but instead turned up at St Anne's School in Welton more than 200 miles away.
Despite the mistake the troupe gave two performances for the children.
Assistant head Christine Lee said she was "surprised" when they arrived.
More on this and other East Yorkshire stories
"There was a busload of Zulu warriors came into school, very unexpected," she said.
"They said 'St Anne's?' We said 'yes, but we weren't expecting you'."
The dancers then realised they had come to the wrong school and should have been at a similarly named school in the capital.
"Obviously it was three and a half hours away," said Ms Lee
"They were going for the full day and decided they were not going to get there and so we invited them to stay."
The group's founder Mduduzi Mkize explained: "The addresses got mixed up on my date sheet and we ended up here.
"It's just been wonderful. It's just been great. It's our first time here, they never knew about us.
"I spoke to them explaining what we do and they fell in love with that and they wanted to see what I was talking about."
The dancers gave two performances of traditional Zulu songs and dances to pupils in the upper and lower school.
Ms Lee said the children at the special needs school were "blown away" by the shows.
"Their loss in London, unfortunately, was our benefit, definitely. We just thanked them so much for coming to the wrong school," she said.
Mr Mkize said the school had invited them back for another performance next year. | A school in East Yorkshire had a surprise visit from a group of Zulu dancers from South Africa who arrived at the wrong venue due to a mix-up with addresses. | 40,506,684 | 376 | 41 | false |
Recent hacked emails are "consistent with the methods and motivation of Russia-directed efforts", the Department of Homeland Security said.
Data revealing discussions within the Democratic Party was hacked earlier this year.
Some states reported "probing" attempts made on "election-related" systems.
However, officials said those attempts could not be directly linked to the Russian government.
Russian officials told Interfax news agency the claims it was involved in the cyber attacks were "nonsense".
But a joint statement from the Department of Homeland Security and the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security said high-ranking officials at the Kremlin were almost certainly involved in the successful attacks.
"We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities," they said.
However, altering any actual ballots or election results would be "extremely difficult", they added, because of a decentralised system and multiple checks and balances.
A number of embarrassing emails have come to light during the 2016 election campaign.
In July, a hacker calling himself Guccifer 2.0 claimed responsibility for the release of documents from the Democratic Party.
Gigabytes of files including emails and other documents that revealed the inner workings of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) were taken.
At an early stage, many US officials linked the breach to Russia. At the time, Moscow denied any involvement and denounced the "poisonous anti-Russian" rhetoric from Washington.
The leaked emails appeared to show that Democratic Party officials were biased against Bernie Sanders in his primary race against Mrs Clinton.
The hack led to the resignation of the party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and sparked protests at the national convention in Philadelphia.
Adam Schiff, a senior member of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, said he applauded the decision to publicly name Russia as the culprit.
"All of us should be gravely concerned when a foreign power like Russia seeks to undermine our democratic institutions," he said.
He called for co-operation with "our European allies" to develop a response.
Lee Parsons, 44, has also been charged with burglary after the attack on the 73-year-old guard at Stokes Forgings in Vine Street, Brierley Hill, on Sunday.
Mr Parsons, of Highgate Road, Holly Hall, Dudley, was remanded in custody at Dudley Magistrates' Court.
He is due at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 19 April.

Since then, rockier times. From an initial share price of $38, Facebook's stock dipped to below $29 in May.
This week, there comes another huge test for the site as it releases the financial results for its first quarter of public trading.
The BBC has asked four key experts for their views on where Facebook's challenges lie in the coming months.
What do you think Facebook should do next? Send us your comments at the bottom of this page.
Jennifer Lynch is a staff attorney at the Electronics Frontier Foundation, a privacy campaign group. Ms Lynch is concerned about Facebook's recent takeover of a facial recognition company:
Facebook's acquisition of facial recognition software face.com is concerning from a privacy perspective for two reasons.
First, it is unclear what Facebook intends to do with the facial recognition data face.com collected. Face.com has stated that its database includes over 30 billion face prints.
If this data is combined with the facial scans from the 300 million images Facebook users upload every day, it would likely create the largest (and largest privately-owned) facial recognition database in the world.
The United States government regularly asks for copies of all photographs in which a user is tagged when it issues a warrant to Facebook. And government agencies in the States and abroad that are building out facial recognition databases have an interest in acquiring as many face images as possible.
Face.com and Facebook's combined data could become a honeypot for government if Facebook doesn't take steps to protect it properly.
Second, as Facebook expands the tools face.com developed to use mobile devices to collect images and identify people, the security of the data becomes a real issue.
Facebook must show it has adequate measures in place to protect both the integrity of the face recognition data and its users' accounts from hacking and fraud.
Ahead of going public, Facebook, itself, predicted it might struggle to make money from its mobile users who have been reluctant to engage with ads while on the go. If this is to ever change, argues independent app developer Malcolm Barclay, Facebook's mobile offering needs to improve greatly.
The existing app suffers from endless loading, refresh problems and feels more like using a website from the late 90's. To put it another way, it is like listening to a transistor radio. Rewriting it in a different programming language, Objective-C, will be more akin to surround sound, an experience people expect from their £400+ devices.
A rewrite in Objective-C is exactly what the Facebook app needs. Facebook's existing app is written mostly in HTML5.
It is a very promising and useful technology, but right now more suited to desktop web browsers. Objective-C is the native programming language of the iPhone. It can exploit all of its features, it is fast and has a tool kit of interface elements that users are familiar with.
So why did Facebook make the app in HTML5 in the first place? It was cheaper, HTML5 can run on many different devices (eg Android), hence it costs less to maintain and there's no need to make separate apps. I doubt Facebook really benefited from this - users certainly did not.
Last week Facebook purchased the developers at Acrylic, a tiny operation. Google did the same and acquired Sparrow, a very popular mail app for Mac & the iPhone - all of these apps are written in Objective-C.
Reports suggest that Facebook has already begun working on rebuilding their app from the bottom up. I hope this is the case - experience matters.
Graham Cluley is a security researcher and blogger with Sophos. He argues that Facebook needs to get a firmer grip on the third-party applications on its platform, perhaps taking a few cues from a familiar computing giant:
Want to see who has viewed your profile? There's a Facebook app for that. But you shouldn't be too quick to grant it permission to access your account.
Rogue Facebook apps, created by internet scammers and cybercriminals, want to access your personal data, and hope to make money by luring you into following links.
These apps run on the Facebook platform itself (don't confuse them with the apps you run on your computer or smartphone), and - if you allow them - have access to your profile, your personal info, your photos..
The result is that you don't know who you are sharing your information with, and who is going to access it. The apps can even present themselves as though they are entirely located on Facebook - even when hosted on third-party websites that could be under the control of any Tom, Dick and Harry.
Most chilling of all, rogue Facebook apps can actually post messages in your name - tricking your online friends into thinking that it's you spreading a link, which could be designed to infect their computers or steal further information.
Maybe Facebook should learn a lesson from Apple? Apple reviews all iPhone/iPad apps before they are allowed in the iOS App Store. That doesn't just stop yet another fart app, it also makes it harder for hackers to spread dangerous code via this route. Whatever Apple is doing, it seems to be doing it right.
Not everyone may like Apple's "walled garden" approach, but you cannot deny that it has kept the Apple iPhone a relatively safe place to be.
Maybe Facebook should consider something similar.
And maybe users need to think carefully about what data they upload to Facebook - that's the one sure way of ensuring it is never grabbed by a rogue app.
Many have speculated that Facebook is looking at creating its own device - the so-called "Buffy" phone. Carolina Milanesi, an analyst for Gartner, questions the logic behind any such predictions:
"Speculations about a possible Facebook phone have been on and off for the past couple of years.
After the first round of rumours we saw mobile phone maker HTC bring to market the HTC Salsa and the HTC ChaCha. Both had dedicated Facebook keys and both saw only modest sales.
So why would Facebook come out with its own phone? I struggle to see why it would.
Although social is a key part of today's mobile life for many consumers, only a sub-set of users would actually want a phone that totally centres on social networking.
Users would also not compromise on the specifications of the hardware, meaning that Facebook would have to bring to market a device comparable to a high-end Android phone in order to be taken seriously.
Manufacturing costs would likely be too high to be covered by advertising revenue.
The reality is that most consumers are perfectly happy with an app on their current phone. We believe that a deeper integration of Facebook on the current operating systems iOS, Android and Windows Phone will deliver a much wider addressable market to Facebook than not a dedicated phone. And what is social about if not the mass market?
If we put rumours aside for a second and we look at the facts, we know that Facebook is to be integrated more tightly with Apple's next mobile operating system, iOS 6. One has to wonder if Apple would have made such a decision if the possibility of a Facebook phone was actually on the horizon."

The attack happened at Ardmonagh Parade and was reported to police shortly after 19:00 GMT on Friday.
The teenager has been taken to hospital for treatment, but his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Sinn Féin MLA Pat Sheehan said those who carried out the attack had "nothing to offer this community other than hurt and intimidation".
"Those responsible need to end these futile and reckless actions immediately," he added.
Police have appealed for anyone with information on the attack to contact them on the non-emergency number 101.
Ben Smith, 34, had completed 284 consecutive marathons in 284 days when he developed an umbilical hernia, in Aberdeen, on 10 June.
He set off from Inverness at 10:00 BST after medical care and following advice to "take time out and recuperate".
Mr Smith said he would use "everything in his power to be back on the road".
Since 1 September 2015, he had run 284 consecutive marathons in 284 days, covering 7,440.8 miles across 222 different locations across England, Wales and Scotland.
He said he would now need to cover an extra 2.5 miles a day for the next 106 days to make up for the time lost through injury - missing 10 days of running equates to 262 miles.
He said: "I was very upset the challenge had to be suspended especially when you think of all the hard work myself and the 401 team have put in over the last three years.
"Today I am feeling positive in both my mental and physical state and will no doubt use everything in my power to be back on the road."
He praised the "amazing" 401 team and said they would "deliver all the objectives we set out to do".
Mr Smith hopes to raise £250,000 for the anti-bullying charities, Stonewall and Kidscape.
The aim is to finish the run as planned on 5 October in Bristol.
Susan Bro said she refuses to speak to Mr Trump after hearing him equate counter-demonstrators, like her daughter, with white supremacists.
Her daughter, Heather Heyer, was killed on Saturday after a car ploughed through a crowd in Charlottesville.
She said she did not "want to be used for political agendas".
Mrs Bro told ABC New's Good Morning America television programme she missed a call from the White House, which appeared to have been made during her daughter's public memorial on Wednesday.
She added that she received three more "frantic messages" from Mr Trump's press team later in the day but was too exhausted from the funeral to talk.
It was when she saw a news clip of Mr Trump again blaming both sides for the violence that she changed her mind about speaking to the president.
End of Twitter post by @GMA
"It's not that I saw somebody else's tweets about him, I saw an actual clip of him at a press conference equating the protesters... with the [Ku Klux Klan] and the white supremacists," she said on Friday.
"You can't wash this one away by shaking my hand and saying, 'I'm sorry.' I'm not forgiving that."
A day earlier Mrs Bro told MSNBC she had received death threats after speaking out about her daughter's death and the president's comments.
Also on Friday, the mayor of Charlottesville, Mike Signer, called for Confederate statues to be removed from the city in order "to repudiate the pure evil that visited us here".
He called upon the state General Assembly to pass laws restricting openly carrying firearms during events, and upon the city to create a memorial to Ms Heyer.
Mr Trump drew outrage this week after reversing his condemnation of Saturday's far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which was supported by white supremacists and neo-Nazis protesting against the removal of a statue of Robert E Lee, a general who had fought for the pro-slavery Confederacy during the US Civil War.
Violent clashes between the rally's supporters and counter-protesters escalated when a car rammed into a crowd of anti-racist demonstrators, killing Ms Heyer and injuring nearly 20 others.
Mr Trump bowed to pressure on Monday to denounce far-right elements at the rally, but appeared to defend its organisers on Tuesday.
He condemned the suspect in the car-ramming incident, but said those who marched in defence of the statue had included "many fine people".
Mrs Bro said her daughter, a paralegal and Charlottesville resident, did not belong to any organised faction of demonstrators, but was "part of a group of human beings who cared to protest".
The president appeared to further his support for the organisers on Thursday when he weighed into a national debate about the removal of controversial statues, including some to leaders of the pro-slavery rebellion defeated in the US Civil War.
Critics say monuments to the Confederacy are racially offensive, but supporters say they are important symbols preserving Southern heritage.
In a series of tweets, Mr Trump said the "history and culture of our great country" was being "ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments".
Cities across the country have accelerated planned removals of controversial statues in the wake of the violent protests in Charlottesville.
A statue of Roger B Taney, the US Supreme Court justice who wrote the 1857 Dred Scott decision that upheld slavery and denied citizenship to African Americans, was quietly removed from the grounds of the Maryland State House early on Friday.
In the last three months of the year, they grew 0.3%, compared with the previous three months, according to the statistics agency Eurostat.
The 28 countries of the EU also grew 0.3% in the fourth quarter, to a GDP growth rate of 1.8% for the full year.
Growth slowed during 2015, suggesting that more action may be needed to stimulate economies from the European Central Bank (ECB).
"We continue to think that further monetary easing is required, with further policy rate cuts on the cards from March onwards," said Nick Kounis, economist at ABN Amro.
Eurostat also announced on Friday that industrial production had fallen 1% in December compared with the previous month, both for the eurozone and the EU.
Year on year, it fell 1.3% in the eurozone and 0.8% in the EU.
The biggest contraction in GDP came in Greece, where the economy shrank 0.6% in the fourth quarter, which was better than had been expected.
But the contraction in the third quarter turned out to have been bigger than previously thought, being revised from 0.9% to 1.4%.
Analysis: Andrew Walker, economics correspondent
Several eurozone governments following austerity policies have faced protests on the streets and at the ballot box.
But could it have been a little easier?
That is where Germany comes in. There certainly is a view that Germany has in effect made it harder than it need have been.
How so? Germany surely is the seat of eurozone financial prudence and virtue? Well, there is a case that those features of Germany are a problem for the others.

The German economy expanded by 0.3% in the final three months of 2015, to an annual rate of 1.7%.
The German statistics agency said that government spending was "markedly up", while household consumption rose slightly.
The figures follow surprisingly poor industrial production data for December.
"Slow but steady was the retrospective motto for 2015," said Thomas Gitzel, VP Bank group chief economist, saying the fourth quarter growth was "not exhilarating" but also not a reason to worry.

Dr Dyfed Elis Gruffydd has disputed research, led by University College London (UCL), which found the bluestones came from outcrops at Carn Goedog and Craig Rhos-y-felin.
Following excavations, the team of archaeologists and geologists said the stones may have been first used in a local monument near the quarries and then dismantled and taken to Wiltshire.
But Dr Gruffydd said no evidence of human quarrying had been found at the sites.
Concentrix apologised for failures that have left some people with no benefits for up to two months.
The US firm has been accused of incorrectly withdrawing tax credits from many hundreds of claimants.
It was told in September that its HMRC contract would not be renewed.
Officials from HM Revenue and Customs told a committee of MPs that a breakdown in customer services at Concentrix, had resulted in only 10% of calls being answered on some days.
Thousands of people have had their tax credits stopped after Concentrix said they were making fraudulent claims - one woman was told she was in a relationship with a chain of newsagents, another with the philanthropist Joseph Rowntree, who died in 1925.
Claimants, in what was sometimes an emotional testimony, told the committee they had been forced to borrow money and go to food banks as a result of the problems.
The Work and Pensions Select Committee was told that of the 45,000 payments stopped, nearly 15,000 had appealed so far and that "90% - 95%" had been successful in overturning the decision.
HMRC officials said they first became concerned of problems at Concentrix in August when they started receiving reports that only 10% of calls were being answered within five minutes - the target was 90%.
Jon Thompson, chief executive of HMRC, said "a collapse in basic customer service" had occurred caused by too few staff being on hand, and that he'd personally taken the decision not to renew Concentrix's contract.
The firm was working with HMRC to reduce fraud and error in the tax credit system.

"Everybody look in to Rachel. Rachel, look to the girls on the left. Give them a nod. Now look to the right. Confident! Are we happy to be doing it? Yes?
"Do it again."
Except this is Christopher Dean, with Jayne Torvill standing next to him. The finest British figure skaters of all time are here to fire up one of Britain's lowliest teams in Olympic sport.
Dean continues. "Stop just a second. What's that meant to be? A wave? But there's also a look, right?
Some of the things he said were really obvious. Like, 'just put your head up more'. Why didn't I do that before?
"Sorry - can I use the word - can it be more seductive?"
Dean has never seen rhythmic gymnastics in the flesh before. This hardly sets him apart. The sport, which involves teams competing with balls, hoops and ribbons, is little-known in Britain, which has never sent competitors to an Olympic Games.
Now, for London 2012, there is a narrow shaft of light. If the group of teenage girls in front of Dean can hit a certain score at their Olympic test event, in January, they will earn the right to compete at the Games as the host nation.
Like its sister sport of artistic gymnastics - the one practised by Beth Tweddle, Louis Smith et al - success in rhythmic gymnastics relies not only on executing your performance well, but doing so in a way that connects with the judges.
Torvill and Dean score Olympic gold
Torvill and Dean know a thing or two about that. Performing their Bolero routine at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, the duo earned perfect 6.0 scores for artistic impression from every judge and duly won gold.
"In the early days, we were criticised by the judges for not smiling, not performing," says Torvill, now 54. "You have to find a way to bring that out of yourself."
Dean, 53, adds: "This is the same as our sport, skating. It's subjective and what one person sees or likes, the other might not. What you have to do is win over the majority, and the judges."
Seventeen-year-old team member Jade Faulkner is soon sold on this, and on Dean in particular, whose charismatic pronouncements from the sidelines strike a chord.
"He has a lot of personality and he's fun to work with," says Faulkner.
"Some of the things he said were really obvious. Like, 'just put your head up more'. Why didn't I do that before? They were saying about keeping your eyes up and I really didn't notice they were so down, until today.
"Some things weren't really what the sport is used to, not what we do. But they're not outside the rules, so we'll take them on board. It's what we need to do to stand out."
Faulkner is one of seven teenagers in the British rhythmic gymnastics team, based at the University of Bath.
Their sport demands the skills of a Harlem Globetrotter and the flamboyant athleticism of a ballerina. It is often derided by casual spectators as a sport unworthy of the name, let alone an Olympic berth.
"When people say things like that we ignore them," says team captain Rachel Smith as she fixes her hair in the mirror before training begins.
"We train very hard, every day, and we want people to see this is actually a sport and it needs the funding."

At the moment, there is barely any for these gymnasts. Four of them rent a house together in Bath using cash from their parents, who underwrite many other costs.
"It's always hard if you don't have the funding. But I can see this group are very driven and, obviously, they're not doing it for the money. That's great to see, these days," says Torvill.
Dean adds a note of realism. "By the time that we were heading to the 1984 Olympics, we wore the crown already and we had to act that. You had to be consistent, look strong, and deliver, taking on the persona that you are a champion already.
"It's hard before you become that. There's that leap to get to that point. The girls are a fledgling group and their goal is to get into the Olympics.
"They've not qualified yet. It's a big time ahead of them in their test event to actually get in and be a part of Team GB. So, fingers crossed."
Smith, at 18, already sees London 2012 as "the climax of my whole career". Britain did not come close to reaching this year's World Championships. Without a host nation place to aim for, their chances of qualifying for subsequent Games currently appear slim.
"This has been my dream since I was little," she says. "To go out there and prove that Britain, as a rhythmic gymnastics team, deserves to be up with everyone else.
"If we can qualify without the funding - struggle through it but still do it - and prove to our parents that we can do this, that the money has paid off… we'll make everyone proud."
The title contenders, Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton, were third and fifth, not setting times on the quickest tyre.
Force India's Sergio Perez had a sizeable accident after misjudging the tight section in the old town of Baku.
The Mexican bounced over the entry kerb and smashed into the wall on exit.
The impact, at Turns Eight and Nine, where the track heads uphill towards the medieval castle, tore off both right-hand wheels, the rear one becoming completely detached from the car, and sprayed the track with carbon-fibre debris.
The session was stopped for 10 minutes while the mess was cleared and the car removed from the track.
When it resumed, there was only six minutes remaining, and with a lap that is nearly two minutes long, there was only time for a maximum of two further laps, and there were no further improvements.
Vettel's lap time on softs effectively made him the de facto quickest in the session but the Red Bulls were surprisingly quick on a power track where they are not expecting to do well.
Verstappen was 0.47 seconds quicker than team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, with Vettel less than 0.1secs behind the Australian.
Hamilton also set his best time on the soft tyre and was just over half a second slower than Vettel.
Team-mate Valtteri Bottas did manage a quick lap on the super-softs but was 0.240secs slower than Hamilton's best time on softs.
The initial auguries are not that encouraging for Mercedes, who struggled in Russia in April on a track with many similarities to the Baku street circuit, but the session was not conclusive enough to be certain of what the times meant.
Perez ended the session fourth quickest, with team-mate Esteban Ocon seventh, and Williams' Felipe Massa in eighth ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat.
A number of drivers struggled with locking wheels into the tight right-angled corners that abound in Baku, including Renault's under-pressure Jolyon Palmer.
The Englishman twice ran wide at Turn One at the end of Baku's super-long straight and ended up only 18th fastest, 1.3secs slower than team-mate Nico Hulkenberg.
Current laws only allow public hire taxis, commonly known as black taxis, to be hailed on streets in the city.
All other taxis must be booked.
But from 31 May, that will change between midnight on Friday and Saturday nights until 06:00 the next morning.
All taxis will be able to stop for passengers who have waved them down.
The rule will apply within a two-mile radius of the city centre.
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said he was "modernising and improving" taxi regulations by making the change.
"In effect, these changes will mean that people in the north will get a much better taxi service."
A spokesman for the Department of the Environment (DoE) said that the change was being made "because often demand outstrips supply".
But public hire taxi drivers are unhappy with the change.
Sean Beckett, of the Public Hire Coalition, said: "If this is just to clear the streets [of people], it's wrong.
"You must know that the clientele and the general public are getting into a legitimate taxi and not some renegade that doesn't have insurance, so on and so forth."
Alliance Party MLA Anna Lo said the move was long overdue, but added that the two-mile Belfast zone "could be confusing" for the public, and tourists in particular.
"In any big cities where taxis are an essential means of transport, people take it for granted they can hail them anywhere without having to book in advance or walk to a taxi rank," Ms Lo said.
"I hope this move will see such practice become the norm in Belfast."
The DoE is also introducing new roof signage that some taxis will be required to display, as well as a new test for taxi drivers.
Graham, 20, needs surgery after tearing the anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his left knee when he fell awkwardly in Saturday's 3-1 home defeat by Cardiff City.
"Jordan is expected to be out for between nine and 12 months," said Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett.
"But he's young enough and good enough to come back stronger next season."
Phil Hayward, the head of Wolves' medical department, added: "He is to see a consultant towards the end of this week. It is probably too early to be talking about exact timescales.
"It was one of those almost freakish situations where he was caught slightly off balance and his knee went into a hyper-extended position and that is what did the damage."
Graham, signed from Aston Villa in January 2015, has made 12 consecutive appearances for Wolves following his return from a successful loan at League Two side Oxford United.
His current 18-month contract is set to expire at the end of the season.
Saturday's defeat ended a run of four successive league victories for Jackett's side, halting their climb back up the Championship table.
It was also the first game watched by owner Steve Morgan since he resigned as chairman and put the club up for sale on 28 September.
Morgan remains insistent that no progress has made on any potential sale.
"There's no real update on what's been said in the past," he told BBC Midlands Today. "We're not in firm talks with anybody."
The buyer is Wirefox, a Holywood, County Down, based property company headed by BJ Eastwood, grandson of the famous Belfast bookmaker.
The centre had been owned by Hermes Investment Management based in London.
CastleCourt opened in 1990 and at one point, before the property crash in 2007, was valued at £350m.
In a statement, Wirefox said it planned "significant capital expenditure in the complex", details of which would be announced later in the year.
Estate agents Savills, which was involved in the sale, said: "Despite the shock of Brexit and ongoing political uncertainty, the retail sector in Northern Ireland continues to perform strongly.
"We expect Wirefox to reap the benefits of this high-profile acquisition."
According to accounts, CastleCourt generates about £10m annually in rent from its scores of retail tenants, who include anchor store Debenhams.
Hermes has owned the centre since 2012.
South Yorkshire Police believe the 22-year-old fell critically ill in the Glossop Road area after taking MDMA.
She was taken to hospital in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Another woman, 20, is also in a serious condition after taking the drug on a separate night out.
A 23-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman, who were arrested, have been released while enquiries are ongoing.
Formal identification and a post mortem examination were yet to take place, police said.
It is not yet known whether the victims were known to each other. But police believe the two incidents are not connected.
Det Sgt Andy Shields said: "This is an upsetting development in the investigation and our thoughts are with the woman's family at this very sad time."
The force has appealed for any witnesses.
The precautionary measure was put in place following concern over the taste and smell of their mains supply.
The alert affects about 2,000 homes and businesses in parts of Carfin, Newarthill, Chapelhall, New Stevenston and Dalziel Park.
Scottish Water said it was investigating the issue.
It has advised people not to use boiled tap water, and to only mains water to flush toilets.
Bottled water was distributed to the affected properties overnight.
A Scottish Water spokeswoman said: "After receiving contacts from customers about the taste and smell of tap water, we investigated thoroughly and examined our network.
"We have advised customers in Carfin, Newarthill, Chapelhall, New Stevenston and Dalziel Park not to use their water for any purpose - other than flushing toilets - as a precautionary measure.
"We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and we have been distributing bottled water to affected properties during the night."
She said teams had been out in the affected areas all night helping customers, with extra support also being given to elderly or disabled people, care homes and hospitals.
Scottish Water said further updates would be issued when more information becomes available, and affected residents will be told when their water is back to normal.
Customers seeking more information can check Scottish Water's website or call its customer support number on 0800 0778 778.
Bydd cyngherddau Cadw'r Fflam yn Fyw yn cynnwys rhai o uchafbwyntiau sioeau cerdd y Cwmni o'r canolbarth dros gyfnod o 36 mlynedd.
Fe fyddan nhw'n cloi gyda chân o'r un enw sydd wedi ei hysgrifennu er cof am Derec Williams gan ei gyd-sylfaenwyr yn y cwmni, Penri Roberts a Linda Gittings.
"Fyddan ni'n meddwl amdano fo nos Sadwrn," meddai Meilir Rhys Williams, yr ail o dri phlentyn Derec a'i weddw, Ann, wrth sgwrsio gyda Cymru Fyw am ddylanwad ei dad a'r cwmni theatr ar ei blentyndod.
"Ym mhob cyngerdd neu sioe oedd dad wastad yng nghefn y theatr yn chwifio ei freichiau ac yn dawnsio er mwyn cael pawb ar y llwyfan i godi eu pennau, i wenu ac i ganu nerth eu calonnau.
"Dwi'n eitha siŵr byddwn ni'n ei weld o yng nghefn y theatr pan fyddwn ni'n gwneud y cyngherddau yma."
Mae'r cyngerdd cyntaf yn y Drenewydd nos Sadwrn, 8 Ebrill, a'r olaf yn y Bala ar 20 Mai, 2017.
Bydd Meilir yn canu yn y côr gyda'i fam a'i chwaer, Branwen, tra bydd y brawd ieuengaf, Osian, yn chwarae'r drymiau yn y band. Mae o hefyd wedi trefnu'r gerddorfa ar y CD o'r sioe.
Wedi eu magu yn sŵn ymarferion y cwmni, lle cyfarfu eu rhieni, does dim syndod bod Branwen, Meilir ac Osian Williams i gyd wedi gwneud eu marc ym maes cerddoriaeth a pherfformio.
Mae Branwen yn gweithio i'r Urdd ac yn aelod o fandiau Siddi a Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog; Meilir yn ganwr ac actor sy'n chwarae rhan Rhys y mecanic yn Rownd a Rownd ac Osian yn gerddor proffesiynol a phrif leisydd Candelas ac mewn bandiau eraill, gan gynnwys Siddi gyda Branwen.
Athro mathemateg oedd Derec Williams wrth ei alwedigaeth.
Heb unrhyw brofiad blaenorol - heblaw am ei gariad at roc a rôl a Jimmy Hendrix - fe aeth y dyn ifanc o Amlwch ati gyda Penri a Linda i greu cwmni theatr a chyfansoddi sioeau cerdd llwyddiannus a phoblogaidd sy'n dal i gael eu perfformio heddiw.
Yn ogystal â chaneuon cofiadwy fe wnaethon nhw greu cymuned newydd sbon a chyfleoedd perfformio i bobl Maldwyn, Meirionnydd a Cheredigion.
"Doedd gan Linda, Penri na dad unrhyw brofiad o lwyfannu sioeu na sgwennu sioeau," meddai Meilir.
"Mi wnaeth y tri jyst ddod at ei gilydd ac yn hytrach na disgwyl i rywun ddeud wrthyn nhw be i'w wneud, penderfynu ei drïo fo eu hunain a gweld be allen nhw ei wneud.
"Roedd dad wastad yn deud bod o ddim yn siŵr os mai gwirion 'ta dewr oedden nhw! Ond yn amlwg mi wnaeth o ddwyn ffrwyth."
Yn eironig, doedd ganddo ddim dawn canu meddai Meilir: "Mae mam yn fwy cerddorol o ran ei gallu na dad achos roedd dad yn tone deaf - doedd o ddim y gorau am ganu!
"Ond roedd o'n medru cyfansoddi, dyna sy'n rhyfedd. Roedd o'n fwy dylanwadol ar yr ochr roc, fo wnaeth ddysgu Osian i chwarae'r dryms a'r gitâr, mam oedd yn rhoi gwersi piano a chanu."
"Ond roedd gan dad ryw agwedd get up and go - os oedd o isio trïo rwbeth fase fo wastad yn mynd ati a gwneud - doedd ganddo ddim ofn trïo o gwbl."
"Be wnaeth dad ddysgu i ni oedd duwcs, ti'n trio," meddai.
"Hwyrach y gwnei di fethu ond os na ti'n trio, fyddi di ddim yn gwybod os elli di lwyddo.
"Felly pam lai mynd amdani yn hytrach na disgwyl i rywun arall wneud rhywbeth. Mynd ati a'i wneud o dy hun ac os dio'n dwyn ffrwyth, yna grêt, os dio ddim, tria rywbeth arall."
A diolch i'r agwedd yma mae'r plant bach oedd yn arfer chwarae yn theatrau Cymru tra roedd eu rhieni yn ymarfer a pherfformio yn camu i esgidiau eu tad drwy fynd ati i sefydlu eu cwmni theatr eu hunain i lwyfannu sioe gerdd newydd sbon.
Maen nhw wrthi'n datblygu'r gwaith a enillodd Dlws y Cerddor i Osian yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol 2015.
Mae gan Osian radd Meistr mewn cyfansoddi a chafodd ei waith, Gwion Bach, ei ddisgrifio gan y beirniaid fel un "hynod gyffrous".
"Sioe gerdd fydd Gwion Bach," meddai Meilir am y gwaith sydd wedi ei seilio ar stori Taliesin o'r Mabinogi.
"Ryden ni'n gobeithio gwneud hon ar raddfa broffesiynol, felly fydd o'n wahanol i raddau.
"Gan bod Osian 'di sgrifennu caneuon ffantastig ar gyfer y sioe yn barod, roedden ni'n meddwl pam lai ceisio sgwennu sioe gerdd fyse'n gallu sefyll ar lwyfan byd eang."
Y gobaith yw ei pherfformio yn ystod wythnos yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yn y dyfodol.
Nid dyma'r tro cyntaf i'r tri gydweithio i sgrifennu sioe.
Fe dorron nhw eu dannedd ar y grefft wrth ysgrifennu a chynhyrchu'r sioe ieuenctid yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd yn y Bala yn 2014.
Ond ar ganol y rhediad o berfformiadau yn y Bala y daeth y newyddion trist am farwolaeth eu tad.
"Roedd amseriad y peth yn hollol rhyfedd - ein bod ni'n tri wedi dod at ein gilydd am y tro cyntaf ac wedi cymryd yr awenau oddi wrth dad mewn ffordd, a bod yr Eisteddfod yn ein cynefin ni ac wrth gwrs.
"Mi fu farw ar y dydd Mawrth, ynghanol y 'Steddfod."
Roedd wedi bod yn yr ymarferion meddai Meilir ac wrth ei fodd yn gwylio pobl ifanc yn dod at ei gilydd "a gweld cenhedlaeth newydd yn mynd ati".
Mae'r teulu yn gweld cyngherddau Cadw'r Fflam fel rhywbeth 'therapiwtig' iddyn nhw: "Pan ti'n gweld 150 o bobl yn canu gwaith mae dad, Penri a Linda wedi ei wneud, mae'n cliche ein bod ni'n 'cadw'r fflam yn fyw' mewn ffordd, ond mae wedi bod yn donic inni ddod nôl at ein gilydd a chanu'r hen ganeuon," meddai Meilir.
"Mae pawb wedi bod yn hel atgofion a rhannu straeon, mae wedi bod yn neis cael bod nôl efo'r cwmni."
Bydd Radio Cymru yn darlledu'r cyngerdd o Pontio ym Mangor, sy'n digwydd ar 30 Ebrill, yn nes ymlaen yn y flwyddyn.
Yn y cyfamser bydd Osian a Branwen, fel aelodau'r band Siddi, yn cael cyfle i roi teyrnged i'w tad yn y rhaglen Emyn Roc a Rôl ar Radio Cymru nos Wener wrth iddyn nhw addasu emyn gafodd ei chanu yn ei angladd, Rho im yr hedd.
Reports say one of those arrested is the groom. The footage showed guests singing and dancing with weapons.
One stabbed a picture of a Palestinian baby who died in the attack in July.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the "shocking" scenes, aired on Israeli television.
Wedding-goers could also be heard singing about taking revenge on Palestinians in the video.
Police opened an investigation into the events on suspicion of incitement to violence.
Israeli media identified one of the suspects as a resident of the Jewish settlement of Kfar Tapuach in the occupied West Bank. The four were arrested on Tuesday, a week after the footage was broadcast.
It was filmed at a Jewish wedding in Jerusalem earlier this month.
In the clip, young Orthodox Jewish men are seen dancing with knives, guns and fire bombs while singing about revenge.
One of the revellers stabs a picture of 18-month-old Ali Dawabsha, who was killed in an arson attack on his home in the Palestinian village of Duma.
His parents, Saad and Riham, were also killed, while his five-year-old brother, Ali, was injured in the attack.
Several youths, whom the authorities suspect of belonging to a "Jewish terror organisation", have been arrested in connection with the attack.
The hip-hop star is up for album of the year for To Pimp A Butterfly, a dense, detailed trawl of black music, US politics and his personal demons.
His competition comes from Taylor Swift, whose pop smash 1989 is finally nominated, a year after its release.
It came out too late to be eligible for last year's awards, a fate which has befallen Adele's 25 this time around.
Swift ties with R&B star The Weeknd for second place, with seven nominations apiece, while Ed Sheeran and James Bay represent the UK.
Sheeran is up for two of the major prizes - song of the year and record of the year - for his emotive ballad Thinking Out Loud.
The former award goes to the writers (in this case Sheeran and Amy Wadge), while the record of the year category takes into account the performance and production of a hit song.
Other nominees for song of the year include The Weeknd's breakthrough hit Can't Feel My Face and Mark Ronson's global smash Uptown Funk.
Swift is nominated for the tongue-in-cheek single Blank Space, as is Lamar for Alright, the hope-filled centrepiece of his album.
The shortlist for the four main categories is as follows:
Best album
Song of the Year
Record of the Year
Best new artist
See the full list on Grammy.com
Lamar's domination of the shortlist is "a testimony to his artistry," said Neil Portnow, head of the Recording Academy.
"He's someone that's very serious about his art and about his craft, and has been working it for quite some time. And this is one of those instances where the work pays off."
The hip-hop artist's other nominations include best rap album and best pop duo/group performance for Bad Blood - a remix of one of the tracks on Swift's 1989.
He is also shortlisted twice for best rap song, including Kanye West's All Day, which he co-wrote - along with 18 other credited performers, which could make an interesting moment on stage if West wins.
Among the most prestigious awards in music, the Grammys feature an exhaustive 83 categories in 30 genres, including the likes of best tropical Latin album and best jazz improvisation.
Outside the main categories, the late Amy Winehouse is up for her seventh Grammy thanks to Asif Kapadia's revealing documentary on her life; while a deluxe reissue of The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers is up for best box set.
Justin Bieber, who had been considered a contender for some of the main prizes, only gets one nomination, for best dance recording; while Rihanna also misses out, despite her Paul McCartney duet FourFiveSeconds being tipped as a nomine for song of the year.
British acts Disclosure, Jamie xx and The Chemical Brothers are all in contention for best dance album; and Florence + The Machine have four nominations in categories as varied as best pop album and best packaging.
The awards will be handed out on 15 February, 2016, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Hamilton had been one of four goalkeepers named in Gordon Strachan's initial 29-man squad, but that was cut to 24 last week.
The 23-year-old is now back in because McGregor, 35, has a thumb injury.
Celtic's Craig Gordon is expected to retain his place against England for the 10 June World Cup qualifier.
McGregor's Hull team-mate, David Marshall, is likely to be back-up to the 34-year-old.
James Ainslie, 46, was said to have turned to drugs after being falsely accused of a sex offence.
Ainslie, who was trying to pay off money he owed, broke into his victim's home and stole her purse, television, phones and other items - including her car keys.
After threatening her with the hammer, he then drove off in the woman's car.
Judge Lord Uist told Ainslie at the High Court in Edinburgh: "The crime against an elderly and vulnerable lady was premeditated and despicable."
The judge explained: "The crime you have committed must attract a heavy sentence to punish you and protect the elderly and vulnerable."
Ainslie further admitted being concerned in the supply of diazepam at his home in Saltoun Place, Fraserburgh.
He was sentenced to four-and-a-half years for the robbery and theft of the car, which happened in July last year, and 18 months for the drug charge.
Afterwards, Det Con Craig Johnstone, who led the inquiry, said: "This was a distressing crime for the victim and today's outcome at the high court should serve as a reminder to those intent on trying to harm our communities that such behaviour will not be tolerated.
"We would like to thank those within the community who came forward to assist the police during the investigation."
The Musicians' Union has threatened to protest outside the show, which begins its UK tour in Blackpool on Thursday.
It says the production features five musicians, whereas previous productions have employed eight.
The show's producers have refuted the claims, saying the union was making a "crude attempt" to "prejudice the audience against our production".
Paul Elliott said Dirty Dancing had never been billed as a musical, as "none of the leading characters sing", and the music was primarily used as an underscore.
In a statement, he called the production a "play with music", and said it had always featured at least 40% pre-recorded music.
"We do not refer... to the production as a 'musical' and always request that it is not advertised as such," he added.
The Musicians' Union said the dispute arose when Elliott and his co-producer Karl Sydow approached them about getting rid of the show's band completely.
The union objected, which it claimed had resulted in the show adding five actor-musicians to the production.
"There seems to be not a great deal of clarity about how much [the actor-musicians] do on stage compared with the recording," said Horace Trubridge, assistant general secretary at the union.
"We suspect the majority of what the audience hears is the recording made in Italy."
Elliott responded that, while the show had been redesigned for smaller venues, "the performing company is the same size as before, so audiences will be given the same artistic value".
The producer, whose West End credits include Buddy - the Buddy Holly Story and Stones In His Pockets, added he could not see a problem with using a "fully-licensed backing track from Italy in the UK".
He added: "Many other shows have used tracks on tour - many without employing any live musicians - without their producers suffering any of the current actions of the Musicians Union towards Dirty Dancing".
The dispute comes two years after The National Theatre was sued by five musicians who were dropped from the West End production of War Horse.
Although the Musicians' Union held protests outside those shows, and the BBC's War Horse Prom, the players eventually failed to persuade a court they should be reinstated.
Dirty Dancing, about a 17-year-old girl who falls for a dance instructor during a family holiday, is one of the biggest independent films of all time.
The stage production debuted in London 10 years ago and was, at the time, the fastest-selling show in West End history, with more than £11m in advance sales.
A touring version has been in production since 2011.

It is a dark and violent story about a man's fight to become king.
Author Michael Rosen tells you everything you need to know in under three minutes.
Reports said the man was trying to rescue the woman, who had jumped on to the track near Chartham station.
British Transport Police (BTP) said emergency services were called just before 10.55 BST.
The man, in his 70s, died from his injuries. The woman, in her 30s, was treated before being taken to hospital.
She remains in a serious but stable condition.
The incident is not being treated as suspicious.
Police said both families had been informed and a report was being prepared for the coroner.
The train involved was the 10:22 BST Ramsgate to Charing Cross service, which was not due to stop at Chartham.
A spokesman said the sponsor, which has not been named, received the threat on 5 January.
The League One club pulled out of an attempt to sign the former Wales international a few days later.
Greater Manchester Police said a formal complaint had been made, which officers were investigating.
Evans, 26, was released from prison in October after serving half of a five-year sentence for a rape conviction.
Oldham Athletic owner Simon Corney said there was an "80% chance" of signing Evans on 7 January, before pulling out of the deal the following day after death threats were made to club employees and sponsors threatened to withdraw their support.
Evans continues to protest his innocence, and an investigation into his conviction by the Criminal Cases Review Commission is under way.
In February's first round, reformists made substantial gains but need to win 40 more seats to control the 290-member parliament.
Friday's elections take place in 68 constituencies where no candidate won the minimum 25% of the vote.
Polls are open until 13:30 GMT and results are expected on Sunday.
February's vote was the first since Iran signed a nuclear deal with world powers and was seen as a key test for reformist President Hassan Rouhani.
Moderate allies of Mr Rouhani won 106 seats with a landslide victory in the capital, Tehran.
The results in Tehran were significant because lawmakers from the capital usually determine the political direction of the house, analysts say.
Reformists also made gains in elections for the Assembly of Experts, which appoints the country's most powerful official, the Supreme Leader.
Moderates, however, did less well in constituencies outside the capital, which is where Friday's voting is taking place.
Correspondents say that although the parliamentary elections are not expected to herald large-scale changes in Iranian policies, they could help President Rouhani push through economic and social reforms.
The logo on the side of the locomotive of the 0905 Budapest to Munich Intercity train could not have been more ironic: "Pan-European Picnic - 25 years of Open Borders."
The Pan-European Picnic was the remarkable event on the Hungarian-Austrian border in August 1989, when the border guards of Communist Hungary defied orders and stood aside and allowed hundreds of East German refugees to run across the border into Austria.
The green carriages of the train to Munich on Thursday morning soon filled with Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis and a host of other nationalities.
They were trapped in Hungary by the decision of the Hungarian government to block their route to Germany.
But the train did not go to Munich. The gates of the station had opened at 08:20, closely followed by a stampede of refugees.
At 08:52 the government spokesman, Zoltan Kovacs, informed me that the refugees would be taken to refugee camps instead.
At 11:00 the train left, and at 12:00 it arrived in Bicske, the site of a refugee camp, 37km (23 miles) west of Budapest. The refugees refused to leave, and a 28-hour standoff with police developed.
I spoke to local people, who wandered down to the tracks to see world news unfolding on their doorstep.
Many Hungarians, especially those fed a diet of anti-migrant vitriol on state radio and television, are suspicious of the thousands of people from other cultures now traipsing through their country.
So I was surprised when one woman said quietly to me: "You should remember that many of us, Hungarians, were refugees too".
She belonged to the Hungarian minority in Romania, and fled to the country in the 1980s, to escape the terrifying regime of Nicolae Ceausescu, she said.
Hungarian government officials insist that there is no parallel between 1989 and 2015.
Or between the Iron Curtain which once split Europe, and the razor wire fence they are still reinforcing along their southern border with Serbia.
Or between the 1956 revolution, when a quarter of a million Hungarians escaped across the same border into Austria, to escape Soviet tanks, and current events.
But the fact is that many Hungarians, Slovaks, Czechs, Poles, Serbs and Romanians, not to mention Germans and Austrians, have personal memories of having to run for their lives.
Some remember those stories from their parents and grandparents. And when they see the refugees in Hungary today, they are torn between an official rhetoric which often demonises "illegal migrants", and their own experience of expulsion and charity.
One big difference between 1956, 1989, and 2015 is cultural. Many of the new arrivals are Muslims. Some are Africans. These are not Europeans fleeing within Europe.
Walk the streets of Budapest, Prague or Bratislava, and the faces are more homogenous.
Only the Chinese and Vietnamese are here already in large numbers.
This is largely the result of the mass murders and forced population movements of the Second World War and its immediate aftermath.
Another problem is a genuine resentment in eastern Europe at being talked down to by west European leaders.
For the Hungarians, the sheer numbers now are also an important factor.
By Saturday night, 175,000 asylum seekers had been registered by the Hungarian authorities this year - 50,000 in August alone.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned that millions, not hundreds of thousands of migrants will flood Europe.
Nobody knows if that is true, not even Mr Orban, but only one year ago two million Hungarians trusted his word enough to vote him into office for four more years.
There is also now a sort of rearguard action by the governments of Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to defend what they regard as "Christian Europe" from those it regards as "aliens".
Robert Fico's Slovak government only reluctantly agreed to accept 200 asylum seekers from Syria, awaiting processing in neighbouring Austria, on condition that they are Christian.
Yet another factor in the migration equation is the large ethnic Roma population in eastern Europe.
Hungarian Justice Minister Laszlo Trocsanyi caused a stir recently by suggesting that Hungary could hardly help so many refugees, when it already has 800,000 Roma to integrate.
Some criminal gangs from the Roma clans of eastern Hungary stand accused of muscling in on the lucrative business of trafficking migrants from the Serbian border to Austria.
But most Roma are watching the current crisis from the sidelines.
In Budapest, a man begging outside the East Station claimed to be Syrian. "Don't believe him", shouted a woman from the doorway of a shop - "he's a local". For local, read Roma.
East station has now been re-Christened "the Middle East station", in popular parlance, because of the sheer number of Syrians and Iraqis around it.

On Monday a crane was brought in to remove the plane, which crashed on to the A27 on Saturday during a stunt display.
The crane took away parts of the Hawker Hunter jet. Police have said the death toll is likely to rise after all the wreckage is removed.
The vintage jet fell after failing to complete a loop-the-loop manoeuvre.
The crash created a huge fireball. Ailish Southall, who was driving along the road with her children, said: "There were huge amounts of fire and we ran from the car to avoid the debris."
Eyewitness Gairo Gomez, who was in a building nearby, told the BBC: "I saw the plane going down. I heard a huge bang and the glass was shaking and the doors were banging, the whole building was shaking."
The A27 was shut in both directions as emergency services attended. Police have said the road will have to be repaired before it can be re-opened.
The Civil Aviation Authority has announced significant restrictions on vintage jets in air shows, including a ban on aerobatics over land. Some have criticised how close the show was to the road.
Floral tributes have been left near the scene of the crash, and families have named some of the victims.
On top of the 11 people thought to have died, a further 14 people were injured in the crash.
The vintage plane was being flown by pilot Andy Hill.
Mr Hill, pictured above before a flight at Silverstone race course in Northamptonshire in 2009, is in a critical condition in hospital.

Referring to the deadly truck attack in Berlin by a Tunisian asylum seeker, she said it was "sickening" when acts of terror were carried out by people who had sought protection.
She said 2016 had been a year of "severe tests".
But she also said she was confident Germany could overcome them.
"As we go about our lives and our work, we are saying to the terrorists: 'You are hate-filled murderers, but you do not determine how we live and want to live. We are free, considerate and open'," Mrs Merkel said.
Twelve people were killed when Anis Amri drove a truck at crowds at a Berlin Christmas market two weeks ago.
Tough choice between freedom and security
Berlin lorry attack: What we know
Germany attacks: What is going on?
Earlier in the year, a teenage Afghan refugee wounded five people in an axe attack on a train in Wuerzburg and a Syrian whose asylum application had been refused blew himself up outside a bar in Ansbach, wounding 15 other people.
The attacks have led to some criticism of Mrs Merkel's policy of admitting more than a million refugees and migrants in 2015.
But in her New Year message the chancellor said images of the devastation in the Syrian city of Aleppo, where Syrian government forces have forced out rebels after months of fighting, showed how "important and right" it was for Germany to take in those fleeing the conflict.
"All this is reflected in our democracy, rule of law and values. They are the opposite of the hate-filled world of terrorism and will prove stronger than it. Together we are stronger. Our state is stronger," she said.
Mrs Merkel also denounced "distortions" that were leading people to believe that the EU and even parliamentary democracy were no longer working.
The EU was "slow and difficult", had suffered a blow with the United Kingdom's vote to leave and should focus on the things it "really can do better than the nation state", she said.
"But no - we Germans should never be deceived into thinking that a happy future could ever lie in going it alone nationally," she added.
Mrs Merkel is seeking a fourth term as chancellor in an election expected in September and has already said that she expects her toughest campaign yet.
People in Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City asked the Marquess of Salisbury to forego his rights after he sent letters saying he had access to land they own.
Campaigners now want a government inquiry into the ancient laws.
The Ministry of Justice said it had "no current plans to change the law".
A MoJ spokesman said they would "continue to monitor" the law regarding manorial rights.
Manorial rights are those retained by the lord of the manor when its land became freehold.
Source: Land Registry
These can include rights relating to mining, hunting and holding fairs or markets.
The system dates back to William the Conqueror's coronation as England's king in 1066 when feudal rights were introduced, but recently the Land Registration Act 2002 stated that people with manorial rights must lodge them with the Land Registry before October 2013 - or face losing them.
Hatfield House is the home of the seventh Marquess and Marchioness of Salisbury and has been in the Cecil family for 400 years.
Residents said they only realised Lord Salisbury had the rights when he sent out letters last year saying he had access to land they own.
Estate solicitors Bond Dickinson said the marquess was recording "pre-existing ownership" following a law change and residents "should not be alarmed".
Residents set up the Welwyn Hatfield Residents Against the Marquess of Salisbury Manorial Rights group to ask Lord Salisbury to give up these rights but have now begun a national campaign to get the law abolished in England and Wales.
On Wednesday, about 50 campaigners joined a march outside Hatfield House where a "people's proclamation" was read out.
It said lords claimed manorial rights "by virtue of inherited titles, yet you retain none of the responsibilities that once went hand in hand with them" and it would be asking MPs to have the rights abolished.
Campaign spokeswoman Amanda White said the "outdated laws" gave lords of the manor claim to more than 100,000 properties in England and Wales.
"They are relics of the past and have no place in a 21st Century democracy.... we must get rid of these outdated rights," she said.
As well as setting up a petition to force a parliamentary debate, the group is approaching MPs from other affected areas to ask for a Justice Select Committee inquiry into the ancient laws and their effect on residents which they hope will lead to a Law Commission Review.
Scotland abolished its feudal law in 2000 with the Abolition of Feudal Tenure (Scotland) Act.
Mr Obama said candidates should not resort to "insults" and "certainly not violence against other Americans".
Mr Trump, who leads the race for the Republican nomination, cancelled his Chicago rally after fighting broke out between his supporters and protesters.
His rivals and others have accused him of using inflammatory rhetoric.
Mr Obama, who will be standing down after November's presidential election, was speaking at a Democratic Party fundraiser in Dallas on Saturday.
He said: "What the folks who are running for office should be focused on is how we can make it even better - not insults and schoolyard taunts and manufacturing facts, not divisiveness along the lines of race and faith."
What Trump says about protesters at his rallies
Why are Americans so angry?
How extreme is Donald Trump?
Could Trump's vulgarity cost him the nomination?
The clashes at Mr Trump's Chicago rally on Friday began more than an hour before the event was due to start, and continued after it was cancelled.
Violent scuffles were sparked by Trump supporters attempting to wrestle flags from protesters.
One protester had to be physically removed from the stage. The clashes continued outside the venue.
On Saturday Mr Trump campaigned in Ohio, one of several key states - also including Florida and Ohio - holding primaries on Tuesday.
In Dayton, Ohio, he was briefly surrounded by Secret Service agents on stage after a man tried to breach the security cordon.
Mr Trump has taken a strong anti-immigrant stance, promising to build a "great wall" at the border with Mexico.
Commenting on relations between Muslims and America earlier this week, he said: "Islam hates us."
Speaking to Fox News after Friday's events in Chicago, Mr Trump denied fostering division.
"I represent a large group of people that have a lot of anger," he said. "There is tremendous anger out there on both sides."
Mr Trump's rivals for the Republican nomination, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, have both called the incident "sad".
Texas Senator Cruz accused Mr Trump of creating "an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse".
Mr Rubio and another Republican challenger, John Kasich, suggested they might not rally behind Mr Trump if he wins the nomination.
Mr Rubio said it was "getting harder every day" to keep his promise to unite behind the eventual Republican nominee.
Mr Kasich said Mr Trump's rhetoric "makes it very difficult" to support him.
On Saturday, party contests are being held in Wyoming, Washington DC, the Northern Mariana Islands and the nearby island territory of Guam.
In the Democratic race. Vermont senator Bernie Sanders is continuing his challenge against frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
It was built in 2007 by a British entrepreneur who had an eye for a dramatic view and was not put off by the challenge of building in Ethiopia's rugged and isolated Simien Mountains.
The man in question, Nick Crane, first came to Ethiopia to help during its 1974 drought.
Now the 62-year-old is at the forefront of promoting a positive side to this unique and still misunderstood country.
When not in Ethiopia, Mr Crane spends much of his time visiting travel companies across Europe to highlight the nation's scenery and wildlife, and rich cultural and historic sites.
"Previously some tour operators would not touch Ethiopia with a barge pole," he says. "But now that is changing."
Ethiopia's tourism industry has long lagged behind other African nations.
Recent comparable data showed that Africa's most popular destinations - Morocco and South Africa - got 9.3 million and 8.3 million overseas visitors respectively in 2011.
Ethiopia by contrast received just 523,000, putting it in 17th place across the continent.
But visitor numbers to Ethiopia are now growing by 10% each year, according to the Ethiopian Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
It adds the income the country's tourism sector receives is growing by 20% per annum, as the tourists who do visit are spending more.
Greg Dorey, the UK's ambassador to Ethiopia, says the nation's tourism potential "is certainly huge" and the Ethiopian government has expressed its intention to make the country one of the best visitor destinations in Africa.
There is even talk in Ethiopia of how tourism's contribution to the nation's foreign currency earnings could eventually overtake coffee, which has long been number one.
Yet to boost tourism numbers, Mr Dorey says Ethiopia has to increase investment.
Continuing to build infrastructure that meets the expectations of foreigners is key to maintaining this trend "as there is a limit to how much people are willing to rough it", Mr Dorey says.
At Mr Crane's Simien Lodge, while the exterior of the building was designed to look like a group of traditional Ethiopian huts, the interior is clean and modern.
This helps attract wealthier tourists, and he wants other hoteliers to follow his example.
Across the whole of the Simien Mountains National Park Mr Crane says that the number of annual tourists has increased from 5,000 in 2007 to 24,000 last year.
He adds that a high proportion of the newer visitors are Americans and Europeans aged over 50, people who have - and are happy to spend - money.
These members of the so-called baby boomer generation typically spend about $2,500 (£1,600) per person while on holiday in Ethiopia, significantly more than the young backpackers the country has traditionally attracted.
Yet other than Simien Lodge there are currently only two other hotels inside Ethiopia's 15 national parks.
One of these two facilities, in the Bale Mountains National Park, was opened this year by another British entrepreneur.
This might lead one to ask whether the Ethiopian government should be taking the lead here rather than enterprising British expats.
Yet Mr Dorey says: "[Ethiopia's] Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn is gripping the situation by chairing a high-level committee to tackle the country's tourism [shortfall]."
At the same time, however, the ambassador notes that many in government who lack international exposure still don't appreciate the potentially transformative economic role of tourism, and the contribution it could make to alleviating poverty.
Ethiopia, like many other developing nations, is also not immune to the temptation of charging overseas visitors more for the same service.
Even dishevelled, fiscally-minded backpackers have had to endure basic local hotels charging one rate for Ethiopians and a higher rate for faranj - foreigners.
And a current serious gripe among foreigners coming to Ethiopia for short-term work is how Ethiopian Airlines, at the end of 2013, raised the cost of internal flights for non-resident foreigners.
Others have noted entrance fees soaring at historical sites such as the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela.
There is also the question, some note, of what exactly is being done with the increasing flow of tourist dollars entering the country.
In the Simien Mountains National Park, for example, one must endure a taxingly bumpy ride to the lodge along the only crude road that threads through the park.
At the same time, the park's rudimentary facilities and camp sites have not changed for years.
Nevertheless, more tourists are coming to the Simien Mountains, and to Ethiopia in general, including "those with business interests, and who could themselves become investors in Ethiopia if their experiences are positive", Mr Dorey points out.
Such reactions and word of mouth may have much to do with fanning continued interest and growth, while Ethiopia's tourism infrastructure and publicity machine catch up.
Roberta Gundlach, an American 57-year-old mother of three, spent two nights at Simien Lodge before travelling on with her two friends to the city of Axum further north.
Since childhood she always wanted to visit Africa, but life and marriage got in the way, says Ms Gundlach. Then last year one of her travelling friends returned from his first trip to Ethiopia.
"He told me I simply had to go to Ethiopia," Ms Gundlach says.
Many in Ethiopia will be hoping the word continues to spread.
Ian Coulter is the former managing partner of Tughans solicitors in Belfast and worked on behalf of the buyers in the £1bn deal.
He left Tughans in January.
The firm said he had transferred fees to an Isle of Man bank account of which he was the sole beneficiary.
In a statement, Mr Coulter said he had directed the transfer but it was for "a complex, commercially and legally-sensitive" reason.
He added that the reason had been explained to his former partners at Tughans and "will be explained to the appropriate authorities".
However, in a statement on Wednesday, Tughans said "it strongly disagrees with his version of events".
Julian O'Neill, BBC News NI Business Correspondent
Mr Coulter's headline is that no politician (or relative of any politician) was to have been paid over the Nama deal.
It is worth noting what is not said in this 800-word statement.
Does the opening line of his statement provide a clue?
"The concept of a Northern Ireland Nama deal was developed and significant work leading up to this deal was done by other business people in Northern Ireland, before any involvement of Cerberus (or any bidder)."
It will be interesting to know what, if anything, Nama knew of this.
The BBC's Spotlight programme has established the account was intended to facilitate payments to non-lawyers or deal fixers in the £1bn sale of Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio.
The Irish politician, Mick Wallace, alleged that a payment of £7m was due to be made to a politician though no evidence has been produced for that claim.
A fee of £7.5m was paid to Tughans for work it did on behalf of Brown Rudnick - the lawyers which represented the Cerberus investment fund which bought the National Asset Management Agency (Nama) portfolio.
It is understood that Mr Coulter was the only person at Tughans working on the deal.
He said: "Through Tughans I was formally engaged to provide the required local counsel to Brown Rudnick.
"This was a commercial arrangement with Brown Rudnick, for which fees were discussed and agreed."
He said the £7.5m had been paid into a Tughans company account and in September 2014 he instructed the firm's finance director to transfer a portion of it into the external account.
Mr Coulter directly contradicted a claim by Tughans that it had "discovered" the money.
He said he transferred it back to Tughans in early December 2014 and brought it to their attention and then "discussions took place to try to resolve the matter".
Following those discussions, he said he resigned on terms agreed with Tughans.
He added: "I have not received any personal financial benefit for my work on this transaction. Neither I nor any third party has received any part of the £7.5m fees."
Mr Coulter said he has not yet been asked to attend either the finance committee of the NI Assembly or the Public Accounts Committee of the Oireachtas (Irish Parliament).
In its statement, Tughans said it "strongly disagrees with his (Mr Coulter's) version of events surrounding the treatment, discovery and retrieval of the professional fees and his exit from the practice".
It said it had passed all documentation relating to this to the Law Society.
"The firm voluntarily brought the matter to the attention of the Law Society and will continue to co-operate with any inquiry," the statement said.
A group wants the Justice Department and Office of Government Ethics to scrutinise "legal issues" related to the appointment of Jared Kushner, 36.
His lawyer says the post does not breach anti-nepotism laws.
Mr Kushner is married to Mr Trump's daughter Ivanka.
The millionaire will step down as boss of his family's real estate business and publisher of the New York Observer newspaper in order to comply with ethics laws, his lawyer Jamie Gorelick said.
The influential Trump adviser will also divest "substantial assets", she said.
Mr Trump will be inaugurated as the 45th US president on 20 January.
Several of his cabinet picks have business interests that will be scrutinised at confirmation hearings taking place this week.
Mr Trump's selection for attorney general, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, is the first to face Senate confirmation hearings on Tuesday. He was turned down for a federal judgeship in 1986 because of alleged racist remarks.
Unlike cabinet positions, advisers are considered part of White House staff and do not require approval from Congress.
Softly-spoken and usually camera-shy, Mr Kushner is a vastly wealthy property developer and publisher who played an influential role in Mr Trump's presidential campaign and has been included in key meetings with foreign leaders during the transition period.
An Orthodox Jew whose grandparents were Holocaust survivors, he was raised in Livingston, New Jersey, and went on to study sociology at Harvard.
His father, also a property mogul, was jailed for tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions and witness tampering in 2005 by Chris Christie - then the US attorney for New Jersey.
Jared Kushner is said to have played a key role in the ousting of Mr Christie, by then New Jersey governor, from Mr Trump's presidential campaign team last year.
In his new role, Mr Kushner will initially focus on trade policy and the Middle East, according to officials from the transition team.
On Sunday, he and Mr Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon met UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
The rule, signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1967, prevents public officials from promoting a relative "to a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control".
It is thought to have been prompted by JFK's appointment of brother Robert to the post of attorney general in 1960
The law would stop a president from giving a cabinet job to a relative - but it is unclear whether it applies to positions in the White House team.
Those that say it does not point to President Bill Clinton's appointment of First Lady Hillary Clinton as chair of his health care reforms package in 1993.
In their letter, the Democratic lawmakers, all members of the House Judiciary Committee, argue that a "strong case" can be made that the 1967 federal anti-nepotism statute applies to staff working in the White House, a position rejected by Mr Trump's team.
They also raise questions about how, even with significant divestment, Mr Kushner could completely avoid conflicts of interest in his White House role.
Concerns have been raised about his relationships with foreign investors. The New York Times reported on Saturday that the businessman met the head of an insurance group with links to the Chinese government over development plans for his skyscraper, 666 Fifth Avenue, just days after Mr Trump won the presidential election. His spokeswoman, quoted by the paper, said the timing of the meeting was a coincidence and he had already decided to sell his stake in the building.
As his appointment as special adviser was announced, Mr Kushner's lawyer, Ms Gorelick, said he was committed to complying with federal ethics laws and had consulted with the Office of Government Ethics about what steps to take.
She added that he would not be paid for the advisory role.
Ivanka Trump will step down from executive roles at the Trump Organization as well as her own fashion brands.
But she will not be taking an official role in her father's government - for now at least - and instead will focus on raising her children.
Reports said last week that Ivanka and Jared and their children would be moving into a $5.5m (£4.5m) home in Washington DC's wealthy Kalorama neighbourhood - at least for some time. The Obama family are due to be moving to the same area after leaving the White House.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump announced in November that his wife, Melania, would be staying in New York - at least initially - after his inauguration to allow their youngest son, Barron, to finish the school year.
Speaking in Estonia, he called Russia their biggest security threat, telling the Nato allies: "An attack on one of us is an attack on us all."
The remarks come amid growing tensions as Russia orders a cut in US diplomatic staff numbers.
The move was in retaliation for new US sanctions against Russia.
The Baltic states - Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia - all achieved independence as a result of the break-up of the Soviet Union.
They have grown increasingly wary of Russia since it annexed the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea in 2014, and count on Nato allies coming to their aid in the event of any Russian action.
There had been doubts about President Trump's commitment to the key Nato principle of mutual defence, after he did not mention it during a visit to Nato's Brussels headquarters in May and instead lambasted fellow members for not spending enough on defence.
But he re-committed the US to it during a Washington press conference in June, and more symbolically at a speech in Poland in early July.
After meeting the presidents of all three Baltic states, Mr Pence said that the message of President Donald Trump to them was: "We are with you."
"Under President Donald Trump, the United States stands firmly behind our Article 5 pledge of mutual defence," he said at a news conference in the Estonian capital, Tallinn.
Nato: What is it?
"A strong and united Nato is more necessary today than at any point since the collapse of communism a quarter-century ago," he said.
"And no threat looms larger in the Baltic states than the spectre of aggression from your unpredictable neighbour to the east."
Russia is preparing to hold large-scale military exercises with its ally Belarus in the next month.
Jonathan Marcus, BBC defence and diplomatic correspondent
Russia's decision to significantly reduce the number of US diplomatic staff marks the end of any immediate hope for a fresh start between Moscow and Washington. Indeed, it could usher in a new and uncertain period of competition between the two capitals.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin seized upon US President Donald Trump's election victory as offering the potential for a very different relationship.
Mr Putin appears to have misjudged what was on offer. Relying upon clear signals from the Trump campaign that a reset in the US relationship was both possible and desirable, Moscow intruded into the US campaign to an extent which US intelligence agencies believe was unprecedented.
Quite how far Russia intruded into the US campaign in actually backing candidate Trump is currently under investigation and this, of course, provides an important element of the backdrop to the worsening diplomatic relationship.

The US is currently holding its biggest ever joint military exercises with Georgia, a country which fought a war with Russia in 2008 and seeks to join Nato.
Mr Pence is scheduled to attend the drills in Georgia on Tuesday. He will later go to Montenegro, Nato's newest member.
In Estonia, the US vice-president also warned that Moscow continued to "seek to redraw international borders by force, undermine democracies of sovereign nations and divide the free nations of Europe, one against another".
His visit to the region comes as Moscow announced that 755 staff must leave US diplomatic missions in Russia, in retaliation over new sanctions imposed for Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and Russian interference in the US election.
Reacting to the move, Mr Pence said: "We hope for better days, for better relations with Russia.
"Recent diplomatic action taken by Moscow will not deter the commitment of the United States of America to our security, the security of our allies."
The app attracted much attention when it was launched at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, last year.
The firm behind it - Life on Air - has instead been developing an app which allows groups of friend to chat live.
Houseparty has reportedly already attracted nearly one million users.
"We may have just pulled Meerkat from the app store, but it was actually six months after we launched that we made the decision to change direction," said Life On Air co-founder Ben Rubin.
He added that the mission of the company remained to "connect people in the most human way possible while physically apart".
"Not only do we believe that Houseparty is a better manifestation of that vision, but also the market has told us that too."
Houseparty, which has been in development for 10 months, moves away from public broadcasts in favour of private chats.
The app allows users to create and join "rooms" with up to eight participants.
High dynamic range (HDR) clips feature a wider range of colours and a greater number of brightness levels between black and white. This boosts contrast and can make images seem more detailed.
However, users will require compatible screens to see the improvements.
And HDR-encoded videos may also look odd when played back in normal mode.
While YouTube is offering one of the first ways for the public to share videos in the new format, professional streaming services including Netflix and Amazon Video have offered HDR films and television programmes for several months.
The Xbox One S and PlayStation 4 video game consoles also recently added HDR support.
"YouTube's move is a big vote of confidence in HDR," said David Mercer, from the technology consultancy Strategy Analytics.
"It really is all about whiter whites and blacker blacks - it sounds corny, but when you've seen a really good demo, it can be quite spectacular.
"But we will all need HDR screens to enjoy it."
Many of the latest 4K televisions support the innovation, which can help water appear to glisten, stars to sparkle and generally adds "pop" to footage.
But it is still relatively rare to find HDR-capable computer monitors or laptop displays.
Creators will also need access to compatible video cameras and editing programs.
Apple's Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid all added support for HDR video formats in recent months.
But consumer-orientated software, including YouTube's own web-based Editor, have yet to do so.
To ensure those without compatible displays do not miss out, YouTube will, by default, play a standard dynamic range (SDR) version of a clip if necessary.
To make this possible, the Google-owned service will automatically generate a "down-converted" version of HDR material posted to its platform in a similar manner to how it already creates lower-resolution copies of uploads.
However, professional video editors are normally advised against relying on such automated technology because it can cause colour shifts, which result in unnatural looking footage.
A YouTube support document acknowledges this risk.
"On challenging clips, it might not deliver the perfect result," it says.
"We're working on improving automated SDR down-conversion so that it works great for all material."
Videos that have been colour-graded to enhance their look will be among those most at risk of being tarnished, undermining the extra effort taken to create them.
For now, the only way round this is for creators to separately upload both an HDR copy of a video and a manually tweaked SDR version, which will appear on different YouTube pages.
The male conductor, 39, was attacked as the 12:30 Edinburgh Waverley to Aberdeen service approached its destination at about 14:55 on Thursday.
The attacker had boarded coach C of the train at Stonehaven about 15 minutes earlier.
British Transport Police (BTP) have urged any witnesses to the incident to come forward.
The attacker was about 5ft 7in tall, wearing a light-coloured baseball cap, a light brown and green jacket, a dark jumper, dark trousers and dark blue trainers.
BTP said he had been under the influence of alcohol.
Constable Craig Allan, the officer in charge of the inquiry, said: "Rail staff should be able to work in an environment free from the threat of encountering violence or anti-social behaviour.
"This attack is unacceptable and I am appealing for anyone who was on the train and may have witnessed the assault to come forward."
CCTV footage from the train and stations will be reviewed as part of the inquiry.
The chain was bought out of administration just over a year ago by a company controlled by turnaround specialists Alteri Investors.
Since then Brantano has suffered from the "depressed and competitive" footwear market, as well as the fall in sterling.
Alteri also owns Jones Bootmaker and is seeking a buyer for that chain.
Brantano, which sells "value" shoes, has 73 outlets and 64 concessions in the UK and employs 1,086 staff, including 71 at the head office in Leicestershire.
Administrators from PwC said the business would continue to trade as normal while a buyer is sought.
Lead administrator Tony Barrell said: "Like many other retailers, Brantano has also been hit hard by the sharp decline in sterling, the ongoing shift in consumer shopping habits and the evolution of the UK retail environment. Regrettably, it is inevitable that there will be redundancies."
Alteri Investors acquired Brantano and Jones Bootmaker in October 2015. Four months later Brantano went into administration and Alteri bought it back, minus a few stores.
The chain as subsequently has faced "difficult trading conditions", said PwC, "despite sustained efforts and streamlining to make the business more commercially viable. A sale of the company was explored and whilst it generated interest, unfortunately it has not been possible to achieve."
Swansea-born Middlesex and ex-Glamorgan bowler James Harris remembers his friend Tom Maynard one year on from his death.
Tom died on 18 June last year. It was a tragic event and it has been well documented what happened, but all the stuff that came out in the press is not the Tom I knew.
I will always remember Tom as a fantastic guy who I got on with very well and somebody I really enjoyed playing cricket with.
He was incredibly talented and was destined for great things. The anniversary of his death brought back some pretty tough memories of how I felt when it all happened.
But the Tom Maynard Trust has been set up and is doing some fantastic things in his memory, as are people from Millfield School who are raising funds to send a child to the school sometime in the future.
What is being done in Tom's memory represents the guy I know, and how I choose to remember him.
Tom left Glamorgan for Surrey and always told me much he was enjoying his time in London. A move to London had always appealed to me because I'd always wanted to live in this part of the world, but only if the cricketing options were the right ones.
The first few weeks after I moved to Middlesex were a frustration due to a niggling hamstring injury which I picked up and was probably the result of my own over-eagerness and wanting to prove that they had made a good investment by signing me. I was also trying to prove to myself that I deserved to be with them.
I probably came back from that injury too soon, forced things and the problem lingered longer than it should have done. It should have been a 10-day thing but ended up being a three-week injury.
That injury cost me a place with the England Lions and that was disappointing, but I wasn't the guy with any kind of form and hadn't played any kind of really good cricket when the squad was announced.
There's no complaints about that from me and these things happen, but the drive and determination to play international cricket is still there and has never been bigger.
I have made no bones about the fact that I want to play cricket for England and that is what I am aiming for and working hard for every day. It's all about chipping away in the nets and working hard in the gym and making sure I improve every day and to push my way up the ladder to the forefront of the selectors' minds.
So I just have to keep knocking on the door and make sure I am the one who batters it down the next time they need a player. My former Lions team-mate Joe Root is a prime example of how things can change quickly and proves what can be achieved with hard work.
Joe and I have been on a couple of tours together and his emergence at international level just spurs you on and makes you realise how close you are to an England call-up. A couple of good performances, here and there, could see you in the team.
It also shows the value of the Lions team in the England set-up and that there is real pathway to international honours and that playing for England is in touching distance.
That is something I am striving for now and for the next decade. Getting one cap is the aim and then seeing how many more I can get after that to fill the cupboard at home.
While most people have probably been watching the Champions Trophy, I have been knuckling down with Middlesex and the last few weeks have been very good for me, even if the body has taken a bit of a pounding.
I will really have to take care of myself over the next few weeks, just because their is a real upward spike in the workload on the body, with back-to-back championship games and also the move into the one-day game and Twenty20 cricket.
We are battered and bruised, like most teams are at this time of the season, because there is so much cricket to play in such a short space of time. It is difficult changing from one format to another because you need a different skill-set for one form of cricket to another.
Batsmen do come at you so much harder in Twenty20 cricket, so you need much more trickery but to be much more disciplined in your approach.
The demands can be tough. We will play a Twenty20 game, then the following morning we will play a four-day championship game and then have another Twenty20 game straight after that.
It really calls for guys to be mentally switched on and to be able to adapt quickly to the unique demands of each format of the game and have the ability to switch from one form of cricket to another.
James Harris was talking to BBC Sport's Simon Roberts
A US lawyer who worked with Gu Kailai several years ago told the BBC that she was attractive, charismatic and funny.
Ed Byrne, from Denver in Colorado, said he was "shocked" to hear that she was embroiled in a murder investigation.
But that is exactly what has happened.
Ms Gu has been "transferred to judicial authorities" because she is a prime suspect in the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood.
It is a case that has also led to the downfall of her husband, Bo Xilai, who until recently was one of China's most senior politicians.
Ms Gu, who is Mr Bo's second wife, studied law at the prestigious Peking University before opening her own law firm.
Mr Byrne first met her when he visited the Chinese coastal city of Dalian - where Bo Xilai was the mayor.
He went with a client and met Ms Gu to talk about a business venture.
"I was very impressed with her. She is very attractive, very charismatic and very funny."
Later, she got in touch with him and asked him to represent several companies from Dalian that were involved in a case in Mobile, Alabama. It was 1997.
Fluent in English, Ms Gu played a major role in the lawsuit, which went in favour of the Chinese firms.
She even wrote a book about her legal battles in the United States called "Winning a Lawsuit in the United States".
Mr Byrne then worked with Ms Gu - whom he knew by the name of Horus Kai - on a number of other cases, meeting her in both the US and Dalian.
He also met her husband and was an "honoured" guest at lunches and dinners.
"People likened her and her husband to the Jack and Jackie Kennedy of China. They were the modern liberal element there."
A source close to Mr Bo's family also described Ms Gu, who is about 52 years old, in glowing terms.
He said she closed down her law firm when her husband became the Communist Party chief in Chongqing to avoid the impression that she was benefiting from his position.
"She shut down the law firm just when it was getting very big and very exciting for her," said the family contact.
But he also painted a picture of a woman whose health has not been good in recent years and who hardly stepped outside the family home in Chongqing.
"She stayed at home reading books," he said of Ms Gu who, like her husband, is the child of a senior official.
Her father was General Gu Jingsheng, a prominent revolutionary in the years before the Chinese Communist Party took power.
He held government positions when the party took over China but, like many others, was put in prison during the Cultural Revolution, a chaotic period of political turmoil.
Ms Gu, who plays the lute, was just a young girl when it began, but she too suffered. She was forced to work in a butcher's and a textile factory.
This did not ruin her education though. She gained her degree in law and then got a masters in international politics from Peking University.
She qualified as a lawyer in 1988 and then opened the Kailai law firm in Beijing.
She met Mr Bo in 1984 while on a field trip looking into environmental art in Jin county in Liaoning province. Bo Xilai was the county's communist party secretary at the time.
The couple have one son, Bo Guagua, who went to Britain's exclusive private school Harrow, before studying at Oxford University. He is now at Harvard University in the US.
The family contact suggested that the accomplished and intelligent Ms Gu withdrew from society and business after her husband took charge in Chongqing in 2007.
But the idea that she had completely detached herself from any business seems to be false.
China's state-run news agency Xinhua said she had "economic interests" with Mr Heywood. It said there had been conflict over those interests that had "intensified".
Gu Kailai is now a suspect in a murder investigation.
Students are demanding free education and denounced a government proposal to raise tuition fees by up to 8% in 2017.
Fees had been frozen last year after the biggest student protests since the end of apartheid in 1994.
The demonstrators say price increases discriminate against black students with low family incomes.
The prestigious University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg has been a focal point of protests.
It said about 200 students in "roving groups are moving from campus to campus disrupting classes".
The University of Bloemfontein and the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in the coastal city of Port Elizabeth said they had closed campuses because of the protests.
The University of Cape Town announced the suspension of classes as students sang revolutionary songs barricaded entrances with litter bins.
University of Witwatersrand Students' Representative Council leader Nompendulo Mkatshwa police fired stun grenades at students who had gathered near the university to protest against the proposed fee increase.
"Students are not happy with what the Department of Higher Education and Training said, so they are fighting for equal education," Ms Mkatshwa is quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.
Police spokesman Lungelo Dlamini said the arrested students "were blocking the entrance of the university in contravention of the court order" and were being held at a nearby station, Reuters reports.
Last year, South Africa's President Jacob Zuma froze student fees for 2016 following the worst student protests to hit South Africa since minority rule ended more than 20 years ago.
The freeze has now been lifted, with Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande announcing on Monday that universities will be allowed to increase fees by a maximum of 8%.
Critics say this is higher than the 6% inflation rate, and will make university education unaffordable for many students.
However, universities favour an increase, saying they were facing a financial crisis which was damaging their academic programmes.
Mobile scorecard
Alastair Cook's men were bowled out for a feeble 166 inside 32 overs to be thrashed by 281 runs in Sydney, at one stage losing four wickets in 11 balls.
It was the story of the past six weeks compressed into one final chastening day as Mitchell Johnson took three more pivotal wickets with ferocious pace to end with 37 in the series at an average of 13.9. Ryan Harris mopped up the tail to claim 5-25.
"It's pathetic - there is no other word. It's humiliation. England have just disintegrated. How do you get bowled out in 32 overs?
"It's bad enough to lose all five, but it's how you lose. This is a worse loss than when we lost 5-0 [in 2006-07] because they had great players like McGrath, Warne and Gilchrist last time."
All of England's senior batsmen once again failed on a tour when not a single one has totalled 300 runs, and when six Australians have well in excess.
It is only the third whitewash in Ashes history, and is arguably the worst tour England have ever undertaken, after they came into this series as favourites and against a side beaten in seven of their previous nine Tests.
England won the toss here at the SCG but ended up humiliated once again, a team unrecognisable in personnel from the one that began the series in Brisbane but suffering an identical hiding.
Not in a single Test have they got close, losing by 381 runs, 218 runs, 150 runs, eight wickets and now this.
They were set a distant 448 to win but could not even last three hours as Michael Clarke's rampant side capped their remarkable renaissance by taking all 10 wickets in under two sessions.
Australia had been branded the worst team ever to tour England en route to losing last summer's corresponding series 3-0.
21-25 Nov: First Test, Brisbane: Australia won by 381 runs
5-9 Dec: 2nd Test, Adelaide: Australia won by 218 runs
13-17 Dec: 3rd Test, Perth: Australia won by 150 runs
26-30 Dec: 4th Test, Melbourne: Australia won by eight wickets
3-7 Jan 2014: 5th Test, Sydney: Australia won by 281 runs
But they fully deserved every thumping victory on their own soil, their tactics, aggression and desire dismantling opposition that had travelled with such confidence and expectation.
Johnson had Cook caught behind for seven before pace partner Ryan Harris took care of Ian Bell for 16 and Kevin Pietersen for six as England gave up with barely a whisper.
The carnage accelerated after tea when top scorer Michael Carberry top-edged Johnson behind for 43 and Gary Ballance was trapped in front for seven.
Nathan Lyon saw off Jonny Bairstow without scoring and Scott Borthwick to reduce England to 95-7.
Although Ben Stokes (32) and Stuart Broad (42) slogged with resigned abandon, Harris took the final three wickets to trigger giddy celebrations among a sold-out crowd.
Australia had earlier piled on the runs at pace as they added 136 runs to their overnight 140-4, Chris Rogers compiling his second century in two Tests to become the top run-scorer across these back-to-back Ashes series.

Rogers made 119 before being caught and bowled by debutant Scott Borthwick, one of three wickets for the leg-spinner as the lower order slogged merrily.
Borthwick also picked up the wicket of Brad Haddin for 28, but not before Haddin had set a record for the most runs scored in a Test series by a man batting at seven or lower.
His 493 runs at an average of 61 take him past his predecessor Adam Gilchrist and, as much as Johnson's wickets have decided this series, so too have Haddin's runs.
It is just one in a litany of statistics that underline Australia's total dominance.
They scored 10 centuries to England's one, had the top six batsmen by average and three of the best four bowlers by average.
"I have never seen an England team throw in the towel, but they did this afternoon.
"When they come up against hostility and pace, this England side have not been able to cope with it. That last innings there showed how frazzled the team is."
Man of the series Johnson's 37 wickets came at just 13.9 apiece, while Harris ended with 22 at 19, Lyon 19 at 29 and Peter Siddle 16 at 24.
The magnitude of the latest defeat will bring with it much soul-searching in the England camp, with questions over the unresolved future of coach Andy Flower and several of the players.
No-one saw this whitewash coming, but that does not make its impact any less damning.

Shannon Conn, 13, was part of the Ireland team, along with sheep farmer John Maginn.
The teenager and her nine-year-old Collie dog, Bill, have been crowned Irish junior champions.
The event, that showcases the best junior and senior sheep dog handlers, was shown on BBC One's rural affairs show Countryfile on Sunday.
Shannon told BBC Radio Foyle that she enjoyed appearing on national television.
"My dad gave me Bill as a Christmas present and he had him trained for me as well.
"The dog is old enough now, so he knows what to do.
"Bill is just one of a kind and he just does everything."
Shannon's dad, Loughlin, said that he is extremely proud of her.
"It is a joint competition. Shannon was picked as the young handler to compete with John.
"The joint points went forward to put Ireland in the top spot. It is a great achievement."
Tehran's police chief announced on Monday that the role of the new unit is to:
The morality police have been around for decades but the size of the new unit has taken many by surprise. The unit also includes female officers.
"Even KGB did not have 7,000 spies across the world" tweeted @big_loti (6,206 followers).
The 7,000 officers will look out for violations of the above offences and text details of the incidents to the morality police to follow up. The subsequent warning could be verbal - or lead to arrests and fines.
Social media users have scoffed at this "tragic waste of human resources" and what they consider to be ill-placed priorities.
Many posts mention that enforcement resources should be spent on more pressing issues like fighting persistent corruption and bribery.
Some women fear that it could even backfire and lead to further pestering from strangers. In the past, vigilantes linked to the paramilitary forces of Basij, have sometimes carried out street patrols to enforce hijab and prevent "un-Islamic" behaviour.
Twitter user @mahbu000be (7,268 followers) said: This "means that anyone will be able to claim to be member of the morality police from tomorrow to start disturbing women and children" on the streets.
It's "meant to frighten people" said Facebook user "Mitra Mirzaee". They want to create the feeling that people "are constantly being watched" and they also want to "increase distrust among people" and to occupy them with "some worthless things in order to prevent them from focusing on the major existing problems".
Why fear women so much I wonder, said Facebook user "Judith Sugden-Smith". The 7,000 "could be employed in constructive, productive jobs beneficial to society."
"We wish they hired 700 people (10% of the 7,000) to fight against the widespread problems of corruption, bribery and smuggling said a post on the popular Facebook page, "My Stealthy Freedom". The page advocates an end to compulsory hijab.
"Solve economic problems. People won't have time for wandering around when they have jobs. No-one will steal or will be selling themselves into prostitution when they are not starving," Facebook user "Navid Salimi" suggested.
Earlier in February, an anonymous team of Iranian app developers came up with a solution to help young fashion conscious Iranians avoid the morality police with a phone app called "Gershad".
The app allows users to "report" the location where morality police are patrolling and warn unwary passers-by.
The creators said they were fed up with being "humiliated" for what they wear. The latest announcement on the hijab has fuelled further irritation.
"I cannot believe how far they can go to make people miserable," tweeted user @SadafHafezy.
"According to the mind-set of the authorities...not wearing the hijab is a worse offence than embezzlement".
One message of support for the new unit came from user "Kiyan Aylia". The user called on the morality police to "arrest these ladies without hijab and also their husbands because they are supporting them". Then "clean my Iran of these [people] by sending them in exile to the West. Let them enjoy their life there," Kiyan Aylia said.

Tom Hayes allegedly told one trader that he had managed to keep the three-month Libor rate "artificially high".
Mr Hayes, 35, a former UBS and Citigroup trader, is facing eight counts of conspiracy to defraud.
He denies the charges.
Mr Hayes is accused of acting in "a thoroughly dishonest manner" in his alleged attempts to rig the benchmark rate.
On the second day of the trial, the jury was presented with electronic and audio conversations between Mr Hayes and fellow traders.
In one of the electronic conversations submitted to the jury, Mr Hayes is allegedly discussing manipulating the Libor rate with Will Hall, a trader at RBS, in February 2007.
Mr Hayes said: "Three-month Libor is too high, 'cos I've kept it artificially high."
He said he had managed to do this by "being mates with the cash desks - [JP Morgan] Chase and I always help each other out".
Prosecuting QC Mukul Chawla QC said: "If you ever needed any evidence of deliberate rigging of rates, this is it.
"This is strategic, isn't it. It's nothing to do with the bank's borrowing rates. It's all to do with Mr Hayes' trading positions."
The jury was also played a short telephone conversation between Mr Hayes and his stepbrother, Peter O'Leary, who had recently joined the bank HSBC.
In the conversation, Mr Hayes can be heard asking Mr O'Leary to persuade the HSBC person submitting the yen Libor rate to keep it "on the low side" for a few days.
This would allegedly help with Mr Hayes' trading positions.
In another exchange with a trader at a different bank, Mr Hayes allegedly wrote: "Do me a huge favour and ask the cash guys to set one-month Libor low for the next few days. I will return the favour."
Mr Chawla said this was evidence of a culture of "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" that Mr Hayes developed with other banks.
On Tuesday, Mr Chawla accused Mr Hayes, a former UBS and Citigroup trader, of being motivated by "greed" and acting as the "ringmaster" in an enormous fraud to rig the benchmark interest rate.
Libor - the London Interbank Offered Rate - is an interest rate used by banks around the world to set the price of financial products worth trillions of pounds.
Mr Hayes, 35, from Fleet, Hampshire was first arrested in 2012 before being formally charged in June 2013 with eight counts of conspiracy to defraud over the period 2006 to 2010.
The trial continues at Southwark Crown Court.
The Scot, 21, says she will not take any unnecessary risks with her fitness before this summer's Olympic Games.
"Nothing is more important than the Olympics and rushing through rehab, to make riding the Worlds viable, would be a big mistake," Archibald said.
"Luckily, there's a big team at British Cycling being sensible on my behalf."
Archibald won three gold medals at the European Track Championships in October.
She has not given up hope of being fit in time to ride at the World Championships, but will only make herself available if she is injury-free as Rio 2016 is her focus.
"It's a no-brainer which, if forced to pick, I should prioritise," Archibald wrote in her column for the Sunday Herald.
"One comes every year and the other comes every four years and is the biggest sporting platform on the planet.
"But I want it all. I really think I can make it back and hopefully forget about this whole annoying thing soon."
The Milngavie cyclist said she had been "going brilliantly" before she crashed.
"We'd just come back from a camp and I was pinging and set for riding with the pursuit squad to world domination," she said.
"That's just the way the weak knee crumbles, I guess."
The UCI Track Cycling World Championships take place in London's Lee Valley VeloPark from 2-6 March.
The Northern Irishman sank eight birdies to improve his score to seven under, level with world number one Jason Day (71) and five off the lead.
World number two Jordan Spieth is one further back after a four-under 68.
Fellow Americans Brendan Steele and Matt Kuchar are tied for first as overnight leader Dustin Johnson in nine under after a one-under-par 71.
Luke Donald made the cut despite hitting a 73 to drop back to four under at Muirfield Village and Scotland's Russell Knox will also play the weekend action after reaching halfway at two under par but Paul Casey is heading home after a five-over 77 left him three over par.
It drew upon the sundry oblique references to childbirth offered by the King's consort in the Scottish Play. "How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me" etc.
Later, this work was used to lampoon obsessive, minute scholarship which can end up bypassing the inherent glory of poetry, prose and drama.
Perhaps it was the faintly surreal nature of today's exchanges at Holyrood but my thoughts temporarily drifted from the oratory on offer to a long-past seminar at St Andrews during which I was invited to chuckle over the occasional folly of critics.
The reason? Kenny Gibson, he of the SNP, was ruminating about procreation. More precisely, he was asking about Scotland's population and, thus, birth rate.
At which point, he delved into ad lib territory (many parliamentary questions, you will be shocked to hear, are carefully scripted, even the supplementaries).
Mr Gibson said that he exempted the presiding officer from his anxiety about the balance between Scotland's birth and death rates. Why so? Because the PO, Ken Macintosh, has six children.
Pausing only to congratulate Mr Macintosh, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon shifted on to broader ground. It was vital, she argued, to welcome immigrants who made a contribution to Scotland and to help them settle here.
To be clear, this was not in any way a diversionary tactic. It was, rather, the issue Mr Gibson had raised in the first place.
I said earlier that the exchanges were surreal. Perhaps I should amend that comment or indeed withdraw it. You may say that is a U-turn but it is one which, by contrast with those essayed by political leaders, is freely offered and defiantly acknowledged.
Rather, the discourse was unreal. In the sense that it purported to be questions to the first minister - but was, in practice and reality, a hustings session for tomorrow's local elections. Really, it was about Scotland's 32 councils and, of course, the UK general election to come.
However, opposition leaders contrived, with varying degrees of deftness, to elide the distinction, in pursuit of electoral advantage. Me, I blame vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself.
For the Conservatives, Ruth Davidson produced an iterative list of statistics purporting to represent the extent to which the SNP had failed in education policy. She derided assurances that matters were in hand as "jam tomorrow".
Ms Sturgeon listed the projects under way, including £120m going directly to head teachers. And she brandished a Tory leaflet which, she said, mentioned the SNP umpteen times but education not once. This was reasonably effective, on the day.
Labour's Kezia Dugdale pursued the question of cash. She accused the FM of vacillating on the topic of a 50p top tax rate.
She accused her further of talking a good game during UK elections - then ducking the challenge at Holyrood, where she had power.
With a slightly weary note in her voice, the FM said that she had favoured a 50p top rate for the UK as a whole - but had steered clear in Scotland, following advice that it might cut the Scottish budget by encouraging top earners to flee over the border. Or, at least, to base their tax affairs south of Hadrian's Wall.
Labour, she said, had also favoured an increase in taxation at the basic rate, hitting relatively low earners. Up with this she would not put.
For the Greens, Patrick Harvie essayed a Single Transferable Question, blending education, taxation and political philosophy. Councils needed cash, he said - although he used the word "resources", today's familiar euphemism of choice. That meant higher tax, for higher earners.
Ms Sturgeon noted his party's role in driving up the budget package for local authorities - but said she dissented from the Green perspective over issues such as school governance and testing.
Not all the leaders get a shottie every week. Today, it was Willie Rennie's turn to face exclusion. Undaunted, the Liberal Democrat leader took to the streets and delivered his message anyway, to the effect that the SNP had presided over a decade of failure.
The rest quickly joined him - on the streets, that is. Campaigning. Evangelising. Cajoling.
On with the elections. Plural. And Brexit. And the contention over indyref2. Anyone out there who fears that confusion now hath made his masterpiece? Fret not. What's done is done.

He told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme that he had met with the MSP during the party's annual conference in Brighton and would be with her in Scotland later in the week.
Mr Corbyn said: "Kezia and I are working fine together. I have had discussions with her here in Brighton and in Scotland tomorrow morning, in Holyrood and other places, meeting colleagues and other people in Scotland."
He added that he would listen to the views of people in Scotland on issues like economic policy because the "mood in the party was one of openness and democracy".
Mr Corbyn also stood by his comments at the weekend that the SNP government was "privatising CalMac" and was "behind the privatisation of ScotRail".
These are claims that the Nationalists have strongly denied.
Edmund practised with Dan Evans in Ghent on Wednesday, before Ward had a lengthy hit with Andy Murray.
British number two Edmund, ranked 100, would make his Davis Cup debut in the final.
"If I get into that situation, it's something I'm going to have to deal with," Edmund told BBC Sport.
Great Britain are in the final for the first time since 1978 and hope to win their first Davis Cup since 1936, while Belgium have yet to win the team competition.
Edmund, 20, could be the first player since Spain's Feliciano Lopez in 2003 to make his Davis Cup debut in the final, and the first man ever to win a live singles rubber on a final debut.
"At the end of the day, it still is a tennis match," he said.
"Even with experience or no experience, whoever plays is going to be nervous because it's a Davis Cup final. I think that's normal. I'll just deal with it, if I play."
Ward, 28, won a dramatic five-set match against John Isner to help Britain past the United States in the first round, but was left out of the team for the semi-final win over Australia.
The Londoner, ranked 156, has won 11 singles matches since making his Davis Cup debut in 2010.
"It's not easy," he said. "Everyone wants to play in such a big competition, and obviously the final.
"But, you know, it's been a big team effort for years. It's not just about this year, it's been about the last four, five years. Many different players, even guys that aren't here this week, have played a big part in that."
Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot complete the five-man squad, with the Murray brothers expected to pair up for the doubles on Saturday after winning tight matches against France and Australia.
Captain Leon Smith has until one hour before the draw, at 13:00 GMT on Thursday, to select his final four and decide on the line-up for Friday's opening two singles matches.
The Flanders Expo will host 13,000 spectators on each of the three days of the final, and the venue has been notable for the low roof and temperature early in the week.
"The roof is low but it's approved," Belgium captain Johan van Herck said. "It's not that high and I think Andy will find a way to make the lobs - he's a good player.
"I think it will be noisy, with all the people in here it will be hot, and I think it will be worthy of a Davis Cup final."
Around 5,000 British fans are expected in Ghent over the three days, and security has been heightened following the high state of alert in the capital Brussels, 35 miles away.
"It's safe to be here but it's an awkward situation," Van Herck added. "We have to live with it. We have all the confidence in the organisation that it will be a safe event."
However, the BVA says the four-year pilot culls in Gloucestershire and Somerset should continue, with badgers instead trapped in cages and then shot.
It also said the first two years of culling had not demonstrated that "controlled shooting" of badgers in the wild was effective or humane.
The government says the cull helps tackle tuberculosis in cattle.
But anti-cull campaigners say it is cruel and ineffective and want other measures to be used, such as vaccinations for badgers and livestock.
The BVA said it still supported badger culling as part of a comprehensive strategy to tackle the disease in cattle, which can be picked up from badgers.
It also supports the roll-out of culling to new areas, but said the culls should only use the option of cage trapping followed by shooting.
BVA president John Blackwell said: "BVA's support for badger culling as part of the bovine TB eradication strategy has always been predicated on it being delivered humanely, effectively and safely.
"BVA supported the pilots to test the use of controlled shooting but data from the first two years of culling has not demonstrated conclusively that controlled shooting can be carried out effectively and humanely, based on the criteria that were set.
"However, BVA remains convinced that if we are to tackle this disease then we need to control the infection in the wildlife population, and badger culling must form part of the comprehensive strategy for tackling bovine TB."
Professor Alastair MacMillan, veterinary adviser to the Humane Society International UK, said while he welcomed the BVA's withdrawal of its support, its "ongoing support for cage trapping and shooting is regrettable".
And HSI UK's chief executive Claire Bass said it took 12,957 traps to catch 302 badgers in the two cull areas last year, a large majority of which did not have TB.
"So if the government switches to trap and shoot and sets similar cull targets this year, it'll have to foot the bill for some 30,000 traps, and a small army to set and police them," she added.
The Oscar-winning trilogy's soundtrack triumphed over Schindler's List and Gladiator in the Classic FM poll.
John Williams's compositions for Star Wars and John Barry's Out of Africa rounded out the top five.
Williams' music featured eight times in the top 30, including Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, E.T. and Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
The top 100 movies were included in the hall of fame based on listener votes.
Elijah Wood, who played Frodo Baggins in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, told Classic FM music played a "huge part" in the identity of films.
He added: "I think film scores are always extremely important with regard to the atmosphere and the emotional connection that you have to a film.
"Those pieces of music - you think about the Hobbiton theme - they're really iconic.
"They sort of transcend the films themselves, almost like John Williams' [scores]. The pieces from Star Wars are so iconic. We hear the music, we know the films and I think to a certain degree that's the case with Rings too, with Howard Shore's score."
There was a surge in the popularity of film music composed by James Horner, who was killed in a plane crash in June this year.
Four of his soundtracks - Braveheart, Titanic, Apollo 13 and Avatar - all climbed the chart.
Zimmer's score to Interstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, was the chart's highest new entry at number 43.
The line links Inverness to stations in Sutherland and Caithness.
David Spaven, who writes books on the histories of railway networks, said there had been a recent "downgrading" in the quality of services.
ScotRail Alliance, which operates Far North Line services, said it had no plans to close the line and had recently invested in the route.
Mr Spaven has raised his concerns in a new book, Highland Survivor: The story of the Far North Line.
He told BBC Radio Scotland: "On the Far North Line there was the best part of 10 years of rejuvenation with new stations opening, new train services in and out of Inverness and passenger numbers rising.
"But in the last couple of years we have seen a downturn in the quality of services, cancelled trains, late running trains and that degree of unreliability inevitably starts putting passengers off.
"I think, not in the short to medium term but in the long term, the worry is that if we have got a railway that is serving a declining number of people and costing the taxpayer a lot of money every year then questions may be asked."
Dr Paul Monaghan, SNP MP for Caithness, Sutherland and Ross and an honorary president of the Friends of the Far North Line, said the line had recently been downgraded to a tourist line.
He said: "I am not sure what impact that will have, but certainly gives the impression more focus will be on leisure than business and freight, which are vitally important as a connection to the towns and villages of my constituency."
A ScotRail Alliance spokesperson said: "We have no plans to close the Far North Line and have recently invested £6m in improving infrastructure along the route.
"We are working hard to deliver improved performance on the line for our customers and are committed to providing as punctual and reliable a service as we can."
The big cat is believed to be responsible for killing 11 alpacas owned by a Malibu rancher.
The llama-like animals were discovered slaughtered in the rugged Santa Monica mountain range over the weekend.
But the owner says she does not intend to kill P-45, and is surprised by the anger that the permit has drawn.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued a so-called "depredation order", which under state law grants a person the right to kill a predator that is doing damage to property, including livestock.
The hunting permit was issued on Monday, and owner Victoria Vaughn-Perling has 10 days to kill the animal before the permit expires.
Ms Vaughn-Perling says that she would rather that the animal be relocated, and that she obtained the permit to draw attention to the issue of mountain lion predation on domestic livestock in the region.
But the move sparked angry responses on social media.
"Sorry the mountain lion is eating your pets but a lions gonna do what a lions gonna do. Save #p45", one Twitter user wrote, urging others to sign a petition to protect the cat.
Officials say that the rancher had tried to take measures to protect her animals - a fence and motion-detecting lights were installed after an earlier attack - but that mountain lions can jump 15ft (4.5m) in the air and only a structure with a roof can provide sufficient protection.
P-45 is a male lion, living among a small number of big cats whose territory runs from near downtown Los Angeles to a boundary about 40m (64km) west, towards the Malibu coastline.
The four-year-old mountain lion is believed to be among 10-15 lions living in the Santa Monica mountains between the 101 Freeway and the Pacific Ocean. | Islamist terrorism is the biggest challenge facing Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel has said in her New Year message.

Commercial or political?
The story broke too late on Sunday evening for the morning newspapers, but Egyptian TV channels were full of analysts seeking to explain the move.
State broadcasters followed the official line that this is a trade dispute. Channel One TV hosted political analyst Mahmud Zahir on its morning discussion programme. He firmly denied that the story endangered the Camp David peace accords between Egypt and Israel, and noted that the cancellation of the contract "could be reversed" at any time if payment were received.
The official Nile News TV channel's From Cairo programme interviewed Ibrahim Issawi, a former deputy oil minister, who also emphasized the commercial aspect of the decision.
In contrast, coverage on private Dream 2 TV was more strident, and demanded clarification from the Egyptian military government about what the decision means. A presenter described the Israeli reaction as "hysterical", "outrageous" and "expressing a kind of uncontrolled nervousness".
On its Sunday night 10 PM programme the presenter said "we want to know the circumstances surrounding this decision, which was a wish for some people and a nightmare for others".
Gen Samih Sayf al-Yazal told the programme that that an Israeli warning to its citizens to leave Sinai three days earlier had been a "pre-emptive move" after Israel had allegedly learned of Egypt's intention to suspend gas supplies. He said the cancellation was "in response to popular wishes with respect to the gas issue. The Egyptian people feel shocked about this contract, and feel that their money has been plundered". He was sure that Egypt's military government, which has not commented so far, was consulted on the decision. The Gas Holding Company "cannot take such a decision without informing the country's leaders", Gen Al-Yazal concluded.
Prominent Egyptian Facebook and blog commentators noted the official reticence. The 6th of April Youth Movement's Facebook page reported the news with suspicion: "Ten minutes and we will find a denial of the news from another part of the leadership."
On her English-language blog "Egyptian Chronicles", Zeinobia commented, "Ok news is contradictory in Cairo. There are military sources as well as the minister of oil in Egypt that have denied the news that they cancelled the agreement to export gas to Israel while there are confirmed sources saying that Cairo has cancelled the deal !!"
Twitter users were generally enthusiastic, Leftwing Nasserite presidential candidate Hamdin Sabbahi tweeted: "I hail the decision to stop exporting Egyptian gas to the Zionist entity. We hope the implementation of the decision will continue out of respect for the will of the people and the judiciary's rulings, and in order to protect our national wealth."
"Dangerous precedent"
Israeli public broadcasters concentrated on statements by Israeli officials, in particular Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's call for Egypt to reverse its decision so that the commercial disagreement might not turn into a "political issue".
Press comment was gloomier, with a general view that relations can only deteriorate further. Zvi Barel in liberal Ha'aretz said that "if it turns out that Egypt has really unilaterally decided to terminate the agreement, it may be a dangerous precedent that indicates other agreements between Egypt and Israel may also come to an end".
Amir Ben-David in mass-circulation Yediot Aharonot also saw a threat to the Camp David accords: "This move could turn out to be a first, fundamental step in abrogating the peace agreements."
Boaz Bismuth in the pro-government freesheet Yisrael Hayom went even further, saying that "our southern neighbour could turn into an enemy state much earlier than expected. Egypt will no longer supply us with gas, but will continue to supply us, regrettably, with other combustible material".

She told People magazine: "We thank God for our blessing", and posed for a picture with her growing baby bump.
Speculation about her pregnancy surfaced in April when she postponed her 'Unbreakable' tour, saying she wanted to focus on planning a family with her husband, Wissam al-Mana.
She was recently spotted in London shopping for baby essentials.
The People magazine quoted a source close to the Jackson family as saying: "She is super excited about her pregnancy and is doing extremely well. She actually feels very good about everything."
In a video posted on Twitter in April, she told her fans that she was postponing her world tour because "there's been a sudden change".
"I thought it was important that you be the first to know. My husband and I are planning our family," she said, adding: "Please if you can try and understand that its important that I do this now."

Janet Jackson: The stories behind the songs
Janet Jackson is far from the only famous face to give birth later in life.
Oscar-winning Halle Berry had her second child at 47, three years ago, and John Travolta's wife Kelly Preston gave birth to her third child at 48.
Geena Davis - best known for her role in Thelma and Louise - became a mother later in life after falling in love with an Iranian-American neurosurgeon in her 40s. Her first child, a girl, arrived when she was 46, followed two years later by twin boys.
Then there was Swiss billionaire Maria Louis-Dreyfus, who gave birth to twin girls in March 2016, aged 53.
But these mothers - and Jackson - are all positively young when compared to the world's oldest new mothers.
In fact, there are at least three women in India who claimed to have carried their children to term when at least two decades older than the pop singer.
Omkari Panwar, said to be 70, gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, in 2008. A few months later, Rajo Devi Lohan - also 70 - gave birth to a little girl, her first, much-longed for child.
Daljinder Kaur, who may be as old as 72, although she claimed to be just 70, gave birth to a son in April 2016 after three attempts at IVF.
Each time, the births caused a debate over the ethical issues surrounding having a baby so late in life - especially after Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara, the Spanish woman who once held the title of the world's oldest mother, died three years after having twin boys.

A delegation led by the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) wanted to visit the South Lanarkshire centre to assess the welfare of detainees.
But they were denied access by the Home Office.
A recent BBC Scotland investigation found some Dungavel detainees were being held for more than a year.
A spokesman for the Home Office said: "We can confirm a request to visit Dungavel was received and subsequently declined."
The STUC told BBC Scotland that it was "disappointed" and "angry" at permission for the visit - which would also have included the Scottish Refugee Council, the Church of Scotland and the Muslim Council of Britain - being refused.
Deputy general secretary Dave Moxham said: "A number of organisations without a statutory role in inspection have been granted access to the centre, indeed the STUC was permitted to visit the facility in 2007.
"We are forced to wonder why the government is so worried about organisations such as ours being able to hear the experiences of detainees.
"We have always been clear that the problems for those detained in Dungavel may not originate with the running of the centre itself."
The Church of Scotland said it was "deeply concerned about the wellbeing of asylum seekers at Dungavel".
Sally Foster-Fulton, convener of the Kirk's Church and Society Council, said: "It is deeply disappointing that the Home Office are refusing to allow us access.
"We, along with the STUC, want to listen to those held at Dungavel, hear their stories and offer whatever support we can.
"The mark of a good society is how we treat the most vulnerable within our borders. Making sure that compassion comes first is our only goal."
It is understood the management at Dungavel - which is outsourced to the private security firm GEO Group - was not opposed to the visit.
BBC Scotland has seen a letter from Hugh Ind, the Home Office's director of compliance for immigration enforcement, to the STUC refusing access to the centre.
It reads: "Under normal circumstances access to IRCs is limited to organisations exercising statutory duties (Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons and independent Monitoring Boards), social and legal visitors and other visiting groups.
"I am sorry but I am unable to agree to your visit request at this time."
It goes on to say that "independent scrutiny is a vital part of our assurance that our removal centres are safe, secure and humane" and that immigration removal centres are "part of a rigorous inspection regime operated by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP)".
The letter states that Dungavel was subject to an HMIP inspection in February and that the report will be published after the election.
Mr Moxham said it was "imperative" that the report was published as soon as possible.
Figures released to BBC Scotland in March under Freedom of Information legislation showed that a number of detainees were held at Dungavel for more than six months and that two detainees from Western Sahara and Algeria had been at the centre for more than a year.
Reports subsequently emerged of a hunger strike at the centre, which could not be independently verified.
The Home Office said that although a small number of detainees were refusing meals from the centre canteen, those who did so were purchasing food from the shop located within the facility.
On 18 March this year, the STUC wrote to the Home Secretary Theresa May to outline the groups' concerns about the welfare of detainees and to request an investigation into the claims of a hunger strike.
In an emergency motion passed at its annual congress meeting earlier this week, the STUC condemned the Home Office for declining the delegation's request for access.
It said it would hold a demonstration outside the centre on 30 May and "shine a light on the plight of asylum seekers in a system that has forgotten its humanity."
Finally, it called on the Scottish Human Rights Commission (SHRC) and the Equality and Human rights Commission to cooperate to inspect Dungavel from a human rights perspective.
The SHRC confirmed to BBC Scotland that it intended to engage with its counterpart body in England.
Opened in 2001, Dungavel near Strathaven is Scotland's only immigration removal centre - secure facilities that are used to hold asylum seekers and other migrant groups before their removal from the UK or while their case is being assessed by the Home Office.
Last month a report by a group of MPs called for a time limit of 28 days on detention under immigration powers in centres such as Dungavel.
Following the report's publication, a number of protests developed at removal centres across the UK and an undercover investigation for Channel 4 News alleged racism by staff towards detainees at the Yarl's Wood centre in Bedfordshire.
For the past four years, South Sudan, the world's youngest nation, has been torn apart by a civil war sparked by a political power struggle.
Thousands of people have been killed and hundreds of thousands more have sought refuge in neighbouring countries and beyond.
But Francis Amin, who was elected in elections supervised by Fifa, wants to develop the game throughout South Sudan - but also to use the sport to bring people together in a country scarred by massacres and killings on ethnic grounds.
"I'm trying to use football as a tool to unite the people of South Sudan; football can bring them together as one," said Amin.
"We have the example of the national team; when they have a match, all the people forget about their problems, they come all of them under one flag of the national team."
I'm trying to use football as a tool to unite the people of South Sudan; football can bring them together as one
Amin told the BBC that his priorities included developing the administration of the game, taking South Sudanese football to an African or even world level, and improving refereeing, coaching, women's football and pitches around the country.
Lots of work then - and it will not be easy, in part because South Sudan's civil war has devastated the economy.
'I'm a businessman, actually, by profession, so I'm thinking of how to make an investment section in the football association.
'When we get some income and after that get some facilities, it will be easy.'
Amin acknowledged that the economic challenges facing his nation are huge, but is hopeful of getting assistance from Fifa and the Confederation of African Football.
Sudan - the country South Sudan seceded from in 2011 - has promised to help train referees and coaches.
However, Amin was non-committal on the age-old issue of whether a foreign or a national coach would be best for the national team, the Bright Star.
But he said reports that he had personally help finance the team in the past were true - explaining that he did it out of "patriotism".
Amin says he plans to launch a Super League in 2018, with games staged all over the country with the hope of bringing people together.
Where does he see South Sudanese football in five years time?
"The country will be at peace, and in that time we will compete in the Africa Cup [of Nations] and the World Cup - this is our dream."
In an interview with the style magazine American Vogue, she says: "We were about to walk down a ramp, and he said it might be a bit awkward."
Asked what she made of Mr Trump, she adds: "I like to think we got on."
Mrs May also admits that at home she cooks and her husband Philip, a banker, loads the dishwasher.
In the wide-ranging article, the prime minister appears in a series of photographs by Annie Leibovitz and answers questions on a variety of issues, including the constant comparison between her and the only other British female PM, Margaret Thatcher.
"There can only ever be one Margaret Thatcher," she says. "I'm Theresa May. I do things my way."
Asked what she made of Donald Trump during their first meeting in Washington DC visit in January, Mrs May said: "I like to think we got on.
"I mean, obviously he has, uh... it was a stunning election victory, in that he's someone who has not been involved in politics."
Pressed on whether she confronted the president about his comments about women, which she had previously described as "unacceptable", she replied: "Well, I don't... We don't comment on private conversations that take place.
"All I would say is, I've been very clear: I'm not afraid to raise issues and the nature of the relationship is such that we should be able to be frank and open with each other."
In the interview, journalist Gaby Wood asks Mrs May, an only child, about her marriage to Philip, which took place shortly before both her parents died.
"I've been fortunate that he's been very supportive of me," she said. They have known each other so long "there's something, which is the bond between you, that develops over time."
On not having a family of her own, she comments: "Look, it's one of those things. We didn't have children. You just get on with life."
She says at home she enjoys cooking, but has been amazed to discover her husband is a dab hand at mushroom risotto. "We have a very good system," she says. "I cook, and he puts everything in the dishwasher."
Trouser-gate
Asked what the couple argue about, she remarks: "Do you know, I think we argue about the same things that most people argue about - like, who has the remote? And what we're watching tonight. His history programme? No - [the American TV drama] NCIS."
Mrs May says "it's a great honour" to be prime minister, and answers brusquely about whether she feels the need to be liked. "It's not a popularity stakes, being prime minister. I think what's important is for people to feel that I'm delivering for them."
She admits she did vote to remain in the EU referendum, but insists "what's important is that the country feels, I think, that it wants to come together".
Asked if she was surprised about the media storm surrounding her decision to wear a pair of leather trousers worth almost £1,000 in an interview with a Sunday newspaper magazine, she said: "Look, throughout my political career, people have commented on what I wear - that's just something that happens and you accept that.
"But it doesn't stop me from going out and enjoying fashion - and I also think it's important to be able to show that a woman can do a job like this and still be interested in clothes."
Skipper Rooney, 29, will miss the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania with an ankle injury.
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, 26, also wants to play as a central striker.
"Harry's waited a long time for his chance, but when he got his chance he scored with his first touch of the ball." said Hodgson.
"It's now that we have him exclusively to ourselves. We believed in him. He's got a good career ahead of him, so it's nice he'll get an opportunity."
Kane, 22, has scored from the bench in each of his three England appearances, and played in last summer's Under-21 European Championships, where England went out at the group stage.
Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge is still working his way back from injury and has not been selected in the England squad.
There has been plenty of debate on whether Walcott is better suited to a role as a winger or a striker but Hodgson was relaxed about his position.
Walcott has played in a variety of positions for Arsenal this season, scoring four goals in 10 appearances.
"I don't think it's a big debate whether he starts up the centre or on the right or left," the 68-year-old said. "What we're asking him to do is what he does for Arsenal with Alexis Sanchez."
England, who have already qualified for next summer's tournament as Group E winners with a 100% record from their eight games, play Estonia at Wembley on Friday before travelling to face Lithuania on 12 October.
Rooney, England's record goalscorer, has not trained fully this week after injuring an ankle in Manchester United's defeat at Arsenal.
But he will remain with the squad for Friday's game, before which he will receive a commemorative golden boot from Sir Bobby Charlton, whose record he beat when he scored his 50th international goal in the victory over Switzerland last month.
"[The injury] is a disappointment for Wayne," said Hodgson. "Wayne is not the type of person or type of player who likes to miss a game.
"It is settling down very, very well but we don't want to risk him on Friday."
Gibson, 29, apologised and is facing an internal disciplinary process.
"Players should be more responsible. Social media plays a massive part," Grayson told BBC Radio 5 live.
"The club has dealt with it internally. He has admitted and apologised that he was bang out of order."
Grayson left Preston for Sunderland in June, with the task of reviving a club relegated from the Premier League last season.
The Black Cats start the 2017-18 Championship season against Derby on Friday.
Jermain Defoe, Jordan Pickford and Fabio Borini have all left the Stadium of Light, while the Black Cats have brought in more modest recruits such as Aiden McGeady, James Vaughan and Jason Steele for the challenge ahead.
"There isn't a great deal of money to spend," Grayson added. "We've got a decent enough budget but it's still way short of a lot of other clubs around us.
"The players we've brought in so far haven't been significant signings compared to the rivals who have come down spending huge amounts of money.
"What I'm trying to do with (chief executive) Martin Bain is get the club some stability, where they don't have to spend millions of pounds, and that they can do it on a lesser budget than Sunderland have been used to.
"We're trying to bring some pride back to the area and the club. Over the past few years it's been in a dark place and mismanaged."
One park, Flip Out Stoke, called out an ambulance more than once a week on average. But Jump Lanes, Londonderry, had no callouts across the 12 months.
Statistics from a Freedom of Information request show callouts made by 30 parks in 12 months to April 2016.
More than 140 UK trampoline parks have opened since the first in 2014.
One park in Chester is investigating after three people broke vertebrae in their backs on the same day.
Operators insist the number of injuries is very small compared to the total number of users.
Thirteen ambulance trusts across the UK confirmed that, between April 2015 and April 2016, 30 parks required 315 ambulance call outs.
The figures showed:
Flip Out Stoke is a franchise of the same company behind Flip Out Chester, where an investigation into the injuries is under way.
Flip Out has closed the Jump Tower section of the Chester park.
It said the call out rates should be taken in the context of the number of users - 200,000 visitors have been to the Chester site since it opened in December 2016.
Another of the company's franchises, Flip Out Portsmouth, had a lower call out rate, with paramedics attending eight times in its first 106 days - an average of once every 13 days.
A broken limb was the top injury suspected [14 of the 65 call outs] with broken legs the most common.
The other most common suspected injuries were spinal, head, back and foot.
Student George Magraw, 21, was one of the three people who broke their back on the same day jumping from Flip Out Chester's 4m high 'Tower Jump'.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I'd been jumping on the trampolines for ten minutes when I moved on to the Tower Jump.
"I jumped off the ledge just how I'd been told in the safety video but as soon as I landed I was in pain.
"I crawled out of the foam pit and stood up. I could definitely feel that the bone wasn't right.
"The staff gave me first aid and offered to ring an ambulance but my dad was only minutes away so he took me instead.
"When I arrived at A&E I was quickly put on a bed and taken for an X-Ray. It was then they told me I'd broken my back."
George's transfer to a specialist unit in Walton was delayed because the centre was already dealing with another customer injured on the jump.
His mother, Janet Magraw, is now warning parents to understand the risks: "I always thought that going to a trampoline park, it's a soft landing and everything's okay.
"I've since heard from lots of medical staff that that's not the case - it's quite a dangerous place to be.
"I personally wouldn't recommend anybody going to them. At half term it was sickening me that there was a big queue of little kids going into that place.
"As a mum, you just really feel it could be life-changing."
A spokesman for Flip Out Chester said since its December 2016 opening, around 200,000 people had visited and it had "an excellent safety record".
"We welcome feedback from our customers and we are investigating these claims to establish exactly what happened," he said.
CEO at Oxygen, David Stalker said it got the design of their park wrong when it first opened.
He said: "The trend was towards opening up spaces, rather than zoning the trampolines into smaller areas as we do now.
"The more open space you have, the more speed you can gain. The result was more injuries."
He added: "We've now altered the designs for future parks and changed the layout at Southampton."
One of the smallest parks, Jump Lanes in Londonderry, which has around 25,000 visitors a year, had the fewest call outs - none in 12 months.
Air Hop in Guildford is one of the largest parks. Its smaller site in Bristol saw fewer callouts with eight in 193 days - one every 24 days.
Spokesman Chris Gilmour said trampoline parks should be viewed in context of other activities that carry risk.
He said: "Hospitals will tell you that, yes, they get injuries from trampoline parks but they see worse from people playing football or rugby.
"When you look at the percentage of customers who are injured it's in the hundredths of a percent."
The BSI [British Standards Institution] published standards for trampoline parks, at the request of the industry, earlier this month.
They include minimum specifications for the number of stewards and rules on specific safety features.
Peter Brown, chair of the UK's largest industry body the International Association of Trampoline Parks UK [IATP] said many parks were already up to standard.
New parks would have to comply and inspections would begin in August.
"Any issues we find will have to be put right within a reasonable timeframe, depending on how significant it is. In the most severe cases we will insist attractions are closed until fixed."
The number of parks in the UK has increased sharply since the first one opened in May 2014 - inspired by a craze that started in 2004 in the United States.
Thirty-seven had opened by November 2015, rising to 110 by November 2016, and 144 in early March 2017.
By Easter 2017, the IATP estimates there will be 150 parks in operation across the UK, with at least 15m visitors per year.
That's the message coming from Australia this week, leaving young people on social media outraged, and those who are a little more seasoned in years scratching their heads.
A column at the weekend for The Australian newspaper by "baby boomer" columnist Bernard Salt contained one paragraph asking why young people today spend their cash on fancy breakfast rather than saving for a property.
"I have seen young people order smashed avocado with crumbled feta on five-grain toasted bread at $22 a pop and more," Mr Salt wrote.
"I can afford to eat this for lunch because I am middle-aged and have raised my family. But how can young people afford to eat like this? Shouldn't they be economising by eating at home? How often are they eating out? Twenty-two dollars several times a week could go towards a deposit on a house."
The implication - that young people should save for a house instead of enjoying the same luxuries the author does - was met with much derision in Australia, where house prices have rocketed in recent years.
Mockery erupted on social media over the mathematics, which suggest you could stop a weekly brunch for well over a century and still not quite reach your savings goal.
Professional media organisations weighed in, with an opinion piece in the prestigious Sydney Morning Herald calling for "smashed avo toast" to be made the national dish.
Comedian Deirdre Fidge, writing for SBS, decided to share her "life story", titled "I Stopped Eating Smashed Avocado And Now I Own A Castle".
But the comic reaction masked a concern by some that young people simply can't access the housing market no matter how much they save - so are spending their cash on enjoying life instead.
"What do you do when you can't afford to buy somewhere to live? Well, you decide to live," Bridget Delaney wrote in The Guardian.
"Brunch is the opiate of the masses. We are not going out for brunch instead of buying houses: we are brunching because we cannot afford to buy houses."
Australian foodie magazine Broadsheet - which is naturally at the centre of the smashed avocado circle - argued that cafes have become a social hub for millennials, whose friends are spread far and wide.
But they've gone one step further - collaborating with some of their favourite cafes to launch "home savers" specials to several menus this week - at about A$11 each.
The University of East London is giving 4,000 students computers pre-loaded with digital textbooks.
Equipping all its new intake with the technology will cost the university about £2m.
John Joughin, the university's vice-chancellor, said it would help to provide a "level playing field for all of our students".
Students will be able to keep the tablet devices when they leave.
The computer, a Samsung Note 8, comes loaded with information about starting university and online library resources. There will be "core e-textbooks" included, with the aim of reducing the initial cost of buying books.
"We are delighted to be putting support directly in the hands of our students and providing them with a state-of-the-art learning platform for the duration of their studies," said Prof Joughin.
The computer handout for first-years is a collaboration with the JS Group, which will manage the project.
The group's chairman Peter Gray said: "Students starting university are now 'digital natives'. Having their course books in e-book format is the best fit for how they study."
The tablets will be given to all students, including from other countries, and among the first recipients were a psychology student from Norway and an anthropology student from Italy.
Universities are now in competition for students and their tuition fees and are increasingly aware of needing to attract applications.
Starting university has also become associated with students getting computer equipment.
The PC World and Currys group reported sales of laptops rising by 50% after A-level results had been published.
Retailer John Lewis has said laptop sales soar in the run-up to the new university year, with Christmas the only higher peak in demand.
Annual tracking surveys have shown high levels of technology ownership among students in the UK, with 90% owning both a laptop and a smartphone. A further 40% have a tablet computer.
There are also questions about brands. A survey of this year's intake at Harvard University in the US showed that 71% of new students owned a Mac computer.
It was revealed last month that Jamie Cooper-Hohn would receive a payout of £337m, before the details were known of the exact size of Sir Chris's fortune.
In Friday's detailed ruling, it emerged he had assets worth about £1bn.
US-born Mrs Cooper-Hohn, 49, had argued she was entitled to half their assets.
Sir Chris, 48, offered a quarter, arguing that he had made a special contribution to their wealth throughout their marriage.
Mrs Justice Roberts settled between the two arguments, accepting that Sir Chris was the "generating force" behind their financial success.
His "exceptional" business acumen and "financial genius" justified not splitting his assets equally, the judge said.
The sum is thought to be the biggest of its kind made by a judge in England. The couple separated following 17 years of marriage.
Sir Chris, the son of a car mechanic and a legal secretary, graduated from Southampton University before making his fortune as a hedge fund manager.
The couple set up the Children's Investment Fund Foundation, known as CIFF, which works to transform the lives of poor and vulnerable children in developing countries.
The pair, who have four children including triplets, have reportedly given away about £1bn.
This is not the first high-profile divorce case to result in a large payout.
The late Russian oligarch, Boris Berezovsky, featured in a multimillion-pound case three years ago when it was reported that his former wife Galina Besharova had agreed to accept between £165m and £220m as part of a settlement.

The Manchester City star is backing a new campaign, Premier League Reading Stars, to encourage more kids to read books.
Adam Lallana, Joey Barton and Boaz Myhill are some of the other top footy stars involved.
We spoke to Frank on World Book Day to find out why he thinks more children should get involved in reading - and why it's so important to love books.
Trollope was made head coach at Cardiff on 18 May having previously being part of Russell Slade's coaching team.
The 43-year-old has also been part of the national set-up, but Coleman does not expect that to continue.
"Let's be honest, we are probably going to lose Paul Trollope," he said after agreeing a new two-year contract.
"He's not said anything yet, but he can't manage Cardiff and be with us. I would not expect him to.
"He's got a tough job there now. It would be no surprise to me if there is a knock on the door.
"He's very good, we want him in France. But it's a fantastic opportunity for him at Cardiff City, he's a great coach, so it is unfortunate we are going to lose him."
Cardiff City hinted Trollope could continue working on Coleman's backroom staff after Euro 2016.
And Trollope himself said there was no clash between his Wales duties in France and preparing Cardiff for next season's Championship campaign, but stopped short of saying he would stay on after the summer.
"I don't see it as any sort of hindrance for preparation for the new season [with Cardiff]," he said.
"I will discuss the viability of continuing with Wales after the Euros."
The tubectomy operations were carried out in a field and without the use of anaesthesia, in Araria district.
The three suspects were arrested on suspicion of "conducting unauthorised and illegal operations", police said.
Some of the women suffered complications as a result of the surgery and were taken to hospital.
The district police chief Shivdeep Lande told the BBC the suspects had been identified as Gopal Jha, Prakash Jha and Ramanand Jha.
He said the operations were organised by a group called the Jai Ambe Welfare Society.
"The Jai Ambe Welfare Society has been regularly organising family planning camps in Bihar, putting lives of innocent women in danger," he said.
"When I reached the spot I was surprised to find that not a single qualified doctor was present there and even the saline bottles used for the surgery were well past their expiry dates," Chief Lande said.
Reports in the local media said the group had promised poor village women 600 rupees ($9; £7.50) and free medicines if they came for family planning operations, although it is unclear why.
The game is Nintendo's first full venture into mobile gaming and marked a significant shift for the firm which had previously not made apps.
The game is only available via Apple's app store and currently has an average rating of 2.5 stars.
Many players criticised the game and said it was expensive compared with other titles on the store.
The full game costs $10 (£8) but the first three levels of the game are free to play.
Super Mario Run was released on 15 December and since then, Nintendo shares have fallen. Shares in gamemaker DeNA Co, which helped develop the game, have fallen by 14% over the same time period.
The game is the first fruit of a strategic change in direction Nintendo signalled in 2015 when it announced that it planned to start producing mobile games.
It features Nintendo's mustachioed plumber scurrying across a scrolling landscape as he makes another attempt to rescue Princess Peach.
Players have complained that the three free levels could be completed too quickly and that it was too costly to buy the whole game.
"A $10 upfront cost to unlock the game is a huge ask and one that flies in the face of current mobile games being free-to-play," Daniel Ahmad, an analyst for researcher Niko Partners, told Bloomberg.
Nintendo needed to do more to let people know what they would get if they paid for it, he added.
Players have also criticised the game's need for an always-on internet connection which limited when and where they could play it.
Despite the negative reaction, Super Mario Run has topped the charts for most profitable games in many nations. Analysis firm App Annie said its monitoring of the game suggest it was downloaded more than 37 million times in its first three days. On average, it said, people spent more than 13 minutes every day on the game.
The launch of Super Mario Run came as Nintendo and partner Niantic relaunched Pokemon Go. That game enjoyed huge success earlier in the year but interest in it rapidly dwindled as updates dried up.
EU judges said communications data could only be retained if it was used to fight serious crime.
Its verdict came after a legal challenge to the UK government's surveillance legislation.
The challenge was initially championed by Brexit Secretary David Davis, who was then a backbench Conservative MP.
The Lib Dems said the ruling proved the government had "overstepped the mark" with its Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act, branded the "snoopers' charter" by critics, which requires communications companies to retain data for 12 months.
The ECJ has ruled that a "general and indiscriminate retention" of data is against EU law and can only be done under certain conditions and "solely for the purpose of fighting serious crime".
Its ruling confirms a preliminary verdict in July. The case now returns to the UK Court of Appeal, which had referred the case to the ECJ for clarification.
Mr Davis, who had long campaigned on civil liberties issues, left the case after Theresa May appointed him to her cabinet in July.
Tom Watson, Labour's deputy leader, who is one of those bringing the case, said: "This ruling shows it's counter-productive to rush new laws through Parliament without a proper scrutiny."
The Home Office said it would be putting forward "robust arguments" to the Court of Appeal.
It added: "Given the importance of communications data to preventing and detecting crime, we will ensure plans are in place so that the police and other public authorities can continue to acquire such data in a way that is consistent with EU law and our obligation to protect the public."
The government said it would not make any changes until the Court of Appeal had ruled on the legal challenge to the legislation.
The term 'communications data' refers to details such as the time and date of a phone call being made or an email being sent - but not its contents.
The Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act expires at the end of December, and new legislation, the Investigatory Powers Act, is in place.
Campaign group Liberty, which represented Mr Watson, said: "Today's judgment upholds the rights of ordinary British people not to have their personal lives spied on without good reason or an independent warrant.
"The government must now make urgent changes to the Investigatory Powers Act to comply with this."
The court said a "stability clause" was problematic as future governments would not be able to alter the agreement.
Critics had argued the deal on Mediterranean gas reserves was too generous to the companies involved.
Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz called the court's ruling an "unfortunate decision".
He said it would hurt Israel's economy, energy security and tax revenues.
The Supreme Court suspended its ruling for a year, however, giving parliament a chance to amend the agreement before it is cancelled.
Israel's discovery of major natural gas fields has in recent years raised hopes that it could become not only energy independent, but also a significant regional gas exporter.
Prime Minister and Economy Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared personally in court last month to defend the long-delayed deal with US firm Noble Energy, Israel's Delek Group and other firms.
The consortium had reportedly agreed to spend $1.5bn (£1bn) over the next two years on the development of the Leviathan gas field, discovered in 2010 and one of largest in the eastern Mediterranean.
A government commitment not to change gas industry regulations until 2025 was conditional on that investment, Reuters reports.
Opposition leader Isaac Herzog praised the court's decision as "correct and courageous".

SensorSphere is a product its makers feel will solve that issue.
The small ball with a motor inside allows people to roll the camera around the house and look in different rooms.
Its modular design means different components can be added, such as smoke and noise detectors.
The camera was on show at CES Unveiled in New York, a preview of the CES tech extravaganza in Las Vegas which takes place in January 2016.
SensorSphere is in the prototype phase - right now the biggest challenge is in stabilising the camera footage.
The BBC's North America Technology Reporter Dave Lee saw SensorSphere in action.

Most landlords are perfectly decent, of course, but many tenants dream of a world where renting is altogether less hassle.
That other world is about to arrive in the UK.
Corporate renting - where the landlord is a company, not an individual - has been long-established in the United States.
Now, backed by cash from US pension funds, one UK company is planning to offer 5,000 corporate flats for rent in London alone.
It is claiming to be the first to do so on such a scale.
So will this change the rental landscape, or will most tenants find the concept unaffordable?
"Getting rid of bed-bugs can be a problem with tenants - so the rooms are designed to be steam-cleaned," says Ian Merrick, the operations director of Essential Living, as he gives me a glimpse of what the first flats may look like.
We are on the top floor of Archway Tower in north London, which will eventually offer 118 apartments to tenants.
Even though it is two years before the residents will move in, fresh lemons and bottles of designer olive oil are already in place, together with a Jamie Oliver on the bookshelf.
This brand is already an expert in rental chic.
And everything about the apartments has been designed to encourage tenants to stay for several years, rather than the 18 months which is typical.
"If they stay, we've made hundreds of thousands of pounds," says Ian.
"If I could get them to three or four years, I'm laughing," he adds.
He is also doing everything he can to keep costs down. That includes adjusting the bevel on the skirting board, so they can be cleaned with just a flick of a feather duster.
The company will also change all the light bulbs itself. It is apparently cheaper than giving the responsibility to tenants, who are prone to breaking them.
On the face of it, there are many advantages to renting from a company. For example:
That last idea sounds particularly inviting to renters who have had bad experiences with landlords.
Venice Allan complained once too often about a faulty boiler and exposed electrical wires, and was then given her notice on Christmas Eve.
A corporate landlord might offer her greater security.
"You're not going to be asked to leave," she says.
"If you pay your rent on time as a good tenant, there's going to be no reason why you couldn't stay there indefinitely. That's really attractive," she adds.
But some tenants' groups are sceptical about Essential Living's plans.
Generation Rent, which used to be known as The National Private Tenants Organisation, believes the flats will be too expensive for most ordinary earners, like teachers or nurses.
"I'm sure I'd like to live there myself," says Generation Rent's Alex Hilton.
"But the fact is I won't be able to afford to live in the Essential Living development in Archway - or any of their proposed developments," he says.
Essential Living says it has not yet worked out what it will charge by the time the flats are let in 2016.
But it rejects the accusation that it is aimed only at wealthy tenants.
"We're not high-end, luxury. That's a small sector of the market," says Ian Merrick.
"We want to be that middle tranche. So we're not going for the top end."
When questioned about whether a nurse at the nearby Whittington hospital might ever afford to rent one of the properties, Mr Merrick says there's no reason why not - if done jointly with a partner.
So will this change the rental landscape in the UK?
The truth is this will depend on scale, as well as price.
Hundreds of other companies would need to come on board, and corporate renting will need to prove as profitable in other UK cities as it is likely to be in London.
But UK pension funds are keen on the idea, as the business provides a steady stream of income for years to come.
And the model has a curious and fascinating logic behind it - make tenants happy, and the cash will come rolling in. That has got to be good for tenants, as well as investors.
Mae'r darlledwyr eisiau symud i safle newydd yn y dref - adeilad Yr Egin.
Ond mae'r datblygwyr, Prifysgol Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant nawr yn gofyn am £6m gan Lywodraeth Cymru er mwyn helpu i ariannu'r cynllun.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran y brifysgol bod y cais am arian ar gyfer "cefnogi isadeiledd ar gyfer creu cwmnïau, cyfleoedd economaidd a diwylliannol newydd".
Dywedodd Mr Jones ddydd Gwener: "Dwi'n cofio, pan gafodd hyn ei drafod gyda mi, y rheswm y cafodd Caerfyrddin ei ddewis oedd na fyddai yna gost i'r pwrs cyhoeddus.
"Nawr, wrth gwrs, mae'r sefyllfa wedi newid.
"Rhaid i mi ddweud, fe wnes i'r achos ar gyfer Dyffryn Aman am fy mod yn meddwl ei bod yn bwysig bod e'n mynd i ardal ble mae'r iaith o dan bwysau aruthrol.
"Ond yr ateb oedd 'Mae Caerfyrddin yno, mae'r safle yno, dyw e ddim yn mynd i gostio unrhyw beth'.
"Mae hynny wedi newid."
Mae llefarydd S4C wedi dweud bod "angen gwahaniaethu rhwng y costau sydd ynghlwm ag S4C yn symud ei bencadlys a 55 swydd i Gaerfyrddin a'r adeilad fydd yn gartref i'r sianel.
"Nid yw S4C erioed wedi gofyn am gyllid Llywodraeth Cymru i ariannu'r symud - bydd hyn yn gost niwtral i S4C dros gyfnod o 20 mlynedd.
"Prifysgol Cymru Drindod Dewi Sant sydd yn gyfrifol am godi'r adeilad fydd yn gartref i S4C a nifer o denantiaid eraill."
Mae'r datganiad hefyd yn dweud y bydd yr arian ar gyfer adeiladu Yr Egin yn dod o'r PCDDS, blaendaliad rent gan S4C a chais grant gan y Brifysgol.
Ychwanega'r llefarydd: "Ond ar wahân i flaendaliad rent S4C, mater i PCDDS yw ariannu, adeiladu a rhedeg yr Egin.
"Nid yw, ac na fydd, S4C yn gwneud cais i Lywodraeth Cymru am arian ar gyfer y gwaith o symud i Gaerfyrddin.
Mae Prifysgol Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant yn dweud y bydd y symud yn "gost niwtral".
"Nid yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystyried cais ar gyfer symud, nac ariannu S4C i symud. Yn hytrach, cais ydyw i gefnogi isadeiledd ar gyfer creu cwmnïau, cyfleoedd economaidd a diwylliannol newydd.
"Mae'r cais hwnnw yn seiliedig ar greu gwerth ac impact ychwanegol i benderfyniad S4C i symud i Sir Gâr."
Mae Carwyn Jones wedi dweud ei fod dal yn gefnogol i'r egwyddor bod S4C yn symud i Gaerfyrddin ac y byddai penderfyniad yn cael ei wneud ynglŷn ag os fydd y llywodraeth yn rhoi arian ar gyfer y symud "yn fuan".
Mae rhai ymgyrchwyr wedi gofyn i'r cynllun gael ei sgrapio ac y dylai S4C symud i Gaernarfon.
The review comes after the Sunday Times claimed London-based doctor Mark Bonar prescribed performance-enhancing drugs to more than 150 British athletes, including Premier League footballers.
Ward retired from police service in January and has experience of serious organised crime, counter-terrorism and the use of intelligence.
According to the Sunday Times, an athlete who was banned for breaching anti-doping rules in 2014 approached Ukad with evidence alleging Bonar had prescribed him performance-enhancing drugs.
Ukad says it began an investigation into Bonar but decided he was outside of its jurisdiction as he was not governed by a sport.
It also decided not to pass the case to the General Medical Council or to contact the doctor.
"Andy Ward is a strong choice to carry out the review," said Ukad chair David Kenworthy. "He is independent of sport so will bring a fresh and uninfluenced perspective, whilst his extensive experience of intelligence handling will be critical to the review.
"Andy's role will be to examine how the information supplied by the sportsperson was handled and whether proper procedures were followed. Andy will also be asked to make any recommendations to improve processes in the future.
"As a publicly funded body, it is correct that Ukad be held to account for any actions it takes and the team is very supportive of, and will fully co-operate with, the review process."
There is no suggestion any Premier League clubs were aware of any alleged wrongdoing, and the Sunday Times says it has no independent evidence Bonar treated the players.
Bonar told the newspaper he treated the athletes for medical reasons and not to enhance their performance. There is no suggestion the substances were illegal.
Athletes contacted by the newspaper either denied Bonar had treated them or declined to comment.
The chairman of the Commons media committee, Damian Collins, said he had "grave doubts" about the effectiveness of its content moderation systems.
Mr Collins' comments come after the BBC reported dozens of photos to Facebook, but more than 80% were not removed.
They included images from groups where users were discussing swapping what appeared to be child abuse material.
When provided with examples of the images, Facebook reported the BBC journalists involved to the police and cancelled plans for an interview.
It subsequently issued a statement: "It is against the law for anyone to distribute images of child exploitation."
Mr Collins said it was extraordinary that the BBC had been reported to the authorities when it was trying to "help clean up the network".
On its welcome page, Facebook says it does remove obscene material.
"Nudity or other sexually suggestive content" it states are not allowed on the platform.
It encourages users to report inappropriate content via its "report button".
The US firm says it has improved this system since an investigation by the BBC last year.
That found "secret" groups were being used by paedophiles to meet and swap images.
Information the BBC provided to the police led to one man being sent to prison for four years.
To test Facebook's claim, the BBC used the report button to alert the company to 100 images which appeared to break its guidelines. They included:
Of the 100 images only 18 were removed.
According to Facebook's automated replies, the other 82 did not breach "community standards". They included the apparent freeze frame.
Facebook's rules forbid convicted sex offenders from having accounts.
But the BBC found five convicted paedophiles with profiles, and reported them to Facebook via its own system. None of them were taken down.
"I find it very disturbing, I find that content unacceptable," said Mr Collins in response.
"I think it raises the question of how can users make effective complaints to Facebook about content that is disturbing, shouldn't be on the site, and have confidence that that will be acted upon."
The BBC also showed what it had found to Anne Longfield, the Children's Commissioner for England.
"I have been very disturbed by what I have seen, very disappointed that one year on we are still seeing images that are very sexualised, totally in my view unacceptable," she said.
"The moderation clearly isn't being effective, I would question whether humans are moderating this, are looking at this, and also I think it is failing to take account of the context of these images."
The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) also voiced concern.
"Facebook's failure to remove illegal content from its website is appalling and violates the agreements they have in place to protect children," said a spokeswoman.
"It also raises the question of what content they consider to be inappropriate and dangerous to children."
The BBC first asked Facebook for an interview about its moderation system in late-2015, and repeated the request following this follow-up investigation.
The social network's director of policy Simon Milner agreed to be interviewed last week, on condition the BBC provided examples of the material that it had reported, but had not been removed by moderators.
The BBC did so, but was reported to the UK's National Crime Agency as a consequence.
Mr Collins said this was "extraordinary - because you're trying to help them clean up their network, from material that shouldn't be there".
Facebook later provided a statement.
"We have carefully reviewed the content referred to us and have now removed all items that were illegal or against our standards," it said.
"This content is no longer on our platform. We take this matter extremely seriously and we continue to improve our reporting and take-down measures.
"It is against the law for anyone to distribute images of child exploitation.
"When the BBC sent us such images we followed our industry's standard practice and reported them to Ceop [Child Exploitation & Online Protection Centre].
"We also reported the child exploitation images that had been shared on our own platform. This matter is now in the hands of the authorities."
But the BBC's director of editorial policy, David Jordan, said the move was surprising.
"The fact that Facebook sent images that had been sent to them, that appear on their site, for their response about how Facebook deals with inappropriate images…the fact that they sent those on to the police seemed to me to be extraordinary," he said.
"One can only assume that the Facebook executives were unwilling or certainly reluctant to engage in an interview or a debate about why these images are available on the Facebook site."
A spokesman for the National Crime Agency said he could not confirm or deny an investigation was underway.
Mary Gray died in August last year, seven months after moving out of Kingsmead in Kingswells, Aberdeen.
Care at the home was deemed "unsatisfactory" in a recent report.
Mrs Gray's son David said they were treated as "trouble makers". The home owners described the family as "disruptive".
The Care Inspectorate report, published on Tuesday, said some staff at Kingsmead were not treating people with "dignity and respect".
The report called for significant improvements, including staff development.
Mr Gray told BBC Scotland: "We visited two of three times a week. It was very distressing for her, because of dementia she was unable to tell us what was going on.
"She was evicted against the advice of her GP. We were treated as trouble makers."
Mr Gray's wife Carol added: "It was disgusting. There were some very good staff. Sadly, I think some of them are no longer there."
Mike Best, group managing director of Mead Medical Holdings, said: "Mary was asked to leave because of Mr and Mrs Gray. Mr Gray in particular.
"They used to visit the home sometimes two and three times a day. They were very disruptive. They didn't just go to Mary, Mr Gray paraded round Kingsmead looking to find things to find fault with.
"They intimidated many of the staff whilst they were going about their work and this had been going on for quite some considerable period of time.
"Mary Gray was with us for over four years and Mr and Mrs Gray started to find fault with Kingsmead after she had been in there only for a few days."
He added: "Mary was very happy at Kingsmead, it was Mr and Mrs Gray that were the problem."
The home can provide care for up to 55 older people, and up to 10 adults with learning disabilities.
The people attempting to flee include children.
Witnesses and Bangladeshi officials say that some people trying to flee have been shot and killed.
At least 130 people have died during a military operation in Rakhine state, where many of the minority live, in just over a month.
Activists say hundreds of homes have been burnt to the ground but the government rejects that claim. Foreign reporters have not been allowed into the area.
Rakhine is home to more than a million Rohingya Muslims, who are not recognised as Myanmar citizens.
People in the country tend to consider them illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh.
The state has seen simmering tension between its Buddhist and Muslim populations following co-ordinated attacks last month that killed nine police officers, which police blamed on the Rohingya.
Since then, soldiers have closed down parts of Rakhine state and stopped aid workers and independent observers from entering.
The government says "violent attackers" and some members of the security forces have been killed.
Around 100,000 Rohingya people still live in camps after violence that flared up in 2012 forcing them to leave their homes.
Last year, images of hundreds of Rohingya people floating in fishing boats shocked the world. They were trying to escape by sea to Malaysia. Asian countries agreed to work together to try to stem the crisis.
And Aung San Suu Kyi's government has opened a governmental commission to examine the problems in Rakhine state.
Their single Rockabye is 4,000 copies ahead of its nearest rival, despite having been number one for the last six weeks, says the Official Chart Company.
Rag N Bone Man's Human is at number two, while Little Mix have seen a huge sales increase for their single Touch, which jumps from 23 to three.
But a tribute single to murdered MP Jo Cox looks like it will miss the top 40.
The song, a cover of the Rolling Stones' You Can't Always Get What You Want, which features David Gray, KT Tunstall and a cross-party group of MPs, languishes at number 59 in the midweek chart update.
A charity single by the London Hospices Choir fares better, entering the chart at 33.
The choir is made up of 300 patients and staff from 18 different hospices. They have joined forces with Mike and the Mechanics' frontman Paul Carrack to record a new version of their single The Living Years, which is a young man's message to his deceased father.
Manchester band Inspiral Carpets also score a new entry at 20 with their 1994 single Saturn 5.
Fans have sent it back into the chart in tribute to drummer Craig Gill, who died earlier this year.
Despite their good intentions, the various charity and tribute singles are failing to compete both in sales and on streaming services, meaning they are unlikely to challenge the likes of Clean Bandit, Rag N Bone Man and Little Mix for the coveted Christmas number one slot.
If any of those three top the chart, it will be the first time since 2003 that the festive chart has been topped by someone other than an X Factor winner, charity record or "stunt" single.
That year, Gary Jules and Michael Andrew emerged victorious with their cover of Tears For Fears' Mad World, originally from the cult film Donnie Darko.
The official Christmas chart will be revealed live on Greg James' BBC Radio 1 show this Friday, 23 December, from 16:00 GMT.

Steve Kirwan, of Lyndhurst, Hampshire, believes his Labrador-collie cross developed symptoms after a walk in the Whitefield Moor area of the New Forest.
Bodhi, three, died of kidney failure in February, two weeks after becoming ill.
The cause of the disease, which has killed 24 dogs in the UK since 2012, remains unknown.
Between November 2012 and March last year there were 12 confirmed cases - five in the New Forest - and two unconfirmed cases, according to the Forestry Commission.
Since December last year there have been another 12 cases. Six of those were in the New Forest.
Tests are still taking place on a further 22 suspected cases of the disease.
Also known as cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV).
First identified in the US in the 1980s.
Initial symptoms can, but do not always, include lesions or wounds on legs, paws and faces.
Over the next two to seven days dogs develop clinical signs of kidney failure, which can include vomiting, reduced appetite and tiredness.

The ones outside Hampshire were in Northamptonshire, Yorkshire, Monmouthshire, Dorset, Shropshire, Surrey, Cornwall, Worcestershire and County Durham.
The Forestry Commission has launched a poster campaign in 29 of the New Forest's car parks warning dog owners to be vigilant.
But Mr Kirwan said: "I don't think it's enough.
"There's a number of car parks in the New Forest, far more than 29.
"I think the coverage needs to be right across the forest, because there is a real concentration in the New Forest as [part of the] national picture."
Mr Kirwan said Bodhi never had any lesions, but was dragging his back legs.
From his other symptoms vets suspected it was Alabama Rot but he did not respond to treatment and had to be put to sleep.
The investigation into the exact cause is being led by Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists, in Hursley, near Winchester, who are working with the Forestry Commission, Environment Agency, Suffolk-based Animal Health Trust and local vets.
David Walker, from Anderson Moores, said: "There's huge amounts of research ongoing, multiple different avenues, but at this stage we are no closer to knowing what the trigger is.
"Research is going to continue but there is the prospect that we could research this disease for five, ten years and not find the underlying cause.
"But that doesn't mean we're not going to keep looking."
Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that in 2014 Wiltshire Police received 60 reports, however this rose to 112 in 2015.
The force said the rise is partly due to increased public awareness, and the internet "assisted this type of crime".
Officers also found many of the women arrested are being trafficked from Poland and Romania.
Detective sergeant Chris Hitchcock said: "We are seeing an increase in the girls brought across. The Eastern European crime groups are involved.
"Not every girl that we come across has been trafficked, but they are largely vulnerable.
"The girls are often subject to assault and put in financial debt as well. With that comes quite a degree of control over them."
Wiltshire Police said tackling the issue of "pop-up brothels" is a priority for the force.
The Department for Education is proposing that national curriculum tests taken by seven-year-olds in England could be ditched.
Instead there would be an assessment of five-year-olds by a teacher - a so-called "baseline test" - which would be used as a starting point for measuring progress through primary school.
It represents a step backwards from more and more testing - a shift in attitude as much as policy.
And it raises again the thorny question of what kind of tests young children should face in primary school.
Are such tests a helpful indicator for identifying pupils' needs? Or are they an unnecessary pressure - a case of too much, too young? And are such tests going to mean a paper mountain of extra bureaucracy for teachers, hindering rather than helping learning?
The teachers' unions have broadly given their support to the government's announcement to row back on the tests for seven year olds in reading, writing, maths and science.
But the National Union of Teachers still says the idea of a baseline test for four or five-year-olds remains a "triumph of hope over experience".
The teachers' union questions whether this can ever be a sufficiently reliable test to be used as a fixed point against which to measure all the following years of a child's progress.
But the counter-argument to this is that you have to start somewhere.
If schools are to be held to account for how much progress children have made by the age of 11 - then it has to be measured against a starting point.
And isn't the natural starting point in the first year?
There is also a strong argument that it is the low achievers and the disadvantaged who will be most in need of the extra help that a test might identify.
And at the last general election, all three main political parties were sympathetic to the principle of baseline testing.
But the announcement on testing also raises another great back and forth of the education pendulum. How much data is too much?
Parents' evenings, with spreadsheets and targets, can feel like a chat with the accountants.
And for the schools themselves, the accumulation and analysis of data has become a major part of their working lives.
It is make or break too, because Ofsted inspectors will also be using the same crowded panel of charts and indicators, tracking progress on computer screens like mission control following a space probe or some trader overseeing the foreign exchange markets.
This has often prompted the accusation that an over-emphasis on testing undermines those cultural and mind-expanding things that can't be tested - like putting on plays, debating ideas and playing sport.
And there is an argument that tests shape all around them. Once a test is set, with rewards and penalties, then that metric becomes the priority that overrides everything else. It isn't so much the testing, as the use to which it is put and the consequences built upon it.
But Sats tests have been part of primary school life in England for more than 25 years - and there is little chance of them completely disappearing.
Supporters of testing will point to the importance of holding schools to account for all their pupils.
Tests have been seen as a way of focusing attention. It means that schools that are failing their pupils can be identified and improved.
If there were no tests and targets, wouldn't it be easier for an underachieving youngster to drift through school without recognition of the support and intervention they might need?
England's relative success in education rankings compared with Wales has been claimed as being linked to the absence of Sats tests and league tables in Wales.
But the battle over testing will continue - often as much about perception as anything else.
The international TIMSS tests - the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study - which have been measuring international education standards since the 1990s, recently examined the almost universally-accepted truth that testing had becoming increasingly frequent and pupils were under more scrutiny and pressure.
Except, when this was investigated across a wide range of countries, it was broadly speaking untrue. Testing was not particularly more common than in the 1990s.
The Sats tests in England were once at the ages of seven, 11 and 14 - with the test for 14 year olds scrapped when Ed Balls was education secretary.
And in striking out the test for seven-year-olds, the education secretary has pushed the pendulum a little further away from testing.

But Willie Rennie said his party had "turned the corner" because it supports remaining in both the UK and the EU.
He pointed to a "stonking big result" in a Highland by-election as evidence.
Mr Rennie was speaking to the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme in the latest of its series of interviews with the leaders of Scotland's largest political parties.
He predicted his party would "grow" in the local government election, but declined to say what targets had been set.
Mr Rennie added: "We have not only been gaining thousands of members, but we have also been winning council by-elections right across the country.
"A stonking big result in Inverness just recently where we won, we had that Richmond by-election that we won, we have got some really good momentum behind us now and I am really positive about our chances."
Mr Rennie said his party had a "great offer" on "making Scotland fair and decent and open and outward-looking".
He said: "We are on the up, we have turned the corner, things are looking rosy for the Liberal Democrats. And the reason why is because we are unique in Scottish politics.
"We are in favour of the United Kingdom, strongly against independence. We are in favour of the European Union, and we are also progressive."
He also repeated his party's call for a referendum to be held on any Brexit deal before the UK leaves the EU because "we need to be thinking carefully about the consequences for security, for universities, for our economy".
And he said he could not choose between whether it was more important for Scotland to be a member of the UK or of the EU.
He added: "I actually think we should be aiming high, aiming for both of them, because they are both important to us."
In previous interviews with the programme, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon suggested that a so-called soft Brexit - where the UK retains membership of the European single market - would see the prospect of Scottish independence removed in the short term.
Ms Sturgeon added: "We've put forward very detailed plans about how we avoid a hard Brexit and the reason it's important to avoid a hard Brexit, let's not forget, is because that will have a devastating impact on our economy and on jobs.
"So I'm in a sense willing to put aside my preferred option of independence in the EU to see if we can explore a consensus and compromise option."
Meanwhile, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said she wanted the UK to have the "largest amount of access" to the single market after Brexit.
Ms Davidson argued that free trade was more important to the country than cutting immigration.
But Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale told the programme that "good faith is fast becoming blind faith" over the first minister's plans.
She said she "absolutely" supported Scotland's "ability to have access to the single market", but argued that Ms Sturgeon had failed to produce "real evidence" of how this could happen if the rest of the UK leaves.
Good Morning Scotland is due to interview the co-convenor of the Scottish Greens, Patrick Harvie, at about 07:15 on Thursday morning.
The Irishman, 28, was beaten by Diaz's second-round rear-naked choke in their welterweight bout in March.
This time, McGregor won their UFC 202 contest on points, with judges scoring the five-round battle 48-47 47-47 48-47 in the lightweight champion's favour.
"Surprise, surprise! The king is back!" he said after the Las Vegas bout.
Diaz, whose face was left a bloody mess by McGregor's punches, indicated he would like to take on McGregor again.
If it happens, McGregor said it must be at the lower weight of 155lb.
"If you want this trilogy, it's on my terms," he said.
"I came up to 170, now you'll come back to 155 and we'll finish what we've started. I knew what I had to do this time around and I did it."
An early knockdown for McGregor in round one caused the crowd to erupt as it appeared that the fast-finishing Irishman of old had returned.
Diaz was downed twice in round two but McGregor stepped back each time and allowed the American to get back to his feet, knowing that his ground skills were no match for his opponent's.
Diaz landed two telling strikes of his own, forcing McGregor back against the cage towards the end of the round and grabbing the momentum.
Diaz then came close to finishing the fight in the third but McGregor somehow stayed on his feet despite a series of heavy blows.
With fatigue setting in, both fighters struggled in the final two rounds.
Diaz, 31, managed to take McGregor down in the final seconds of the fifth but the Irishman survived to claim victory.
In Saturday's co-main event, top light heavyweight contender Anthony Johnson knocked out Glover Teixeira with a right uppercut to put himself into contention for a title fight against champion Daniel Cormier.
Mills' side lost 1-0 to Dover Athletic on Saturday and are six points off the play-off places.
Wrexham play struggling Guiseley on Tuesday night before facing Tranmere.
"Can we win four football matches? It's as simple as that. If we do then it might be enough but we've got to win them," he told BBC Radio Wales.
Following a nine-game unbeaten league run which saw them rise to fourth in the National League table in February, Wrexham have since taken just four points from a possible 12 and slipped to eighth.
Mills continued, "We were hoping for a result against Dover which we haven't got but we battle on. There's no point in looking at that game now, we've got to move on to Guiseley."
Both Tranmere and Wrexham, who have a game in hand on fifth-placed Rovers, need victory when they face each other on 16 April to boost their hopes of sealing a play-off place.
"We'll keep going and hopefully we get three points against Guiseley. They need points, it must be close down the bottom," he added.
"We gave ourselves the opportunity, can we do it? Yes we can. Is it going to be tougher now we've lost against Dover? Yes it is, but it's never say die and you never give in." | Trade union, religious and refugee groups have voiced their anger at having been refused access to the Dungavel immigration removal centre.

Christine Lacson Abad, 27, of Cary, North Carolina, is charged with arranging a child sex offence, attempting to groom a 15-year-old in Wrexham and two more sex offences.
She was remanded at Flintshire Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Ms Abad will appear at Mold Crown Court in February.
Prosecutor Kevin Challinor told magistrates that it was a serious matter and that it was the prosecution case that she had travelled considerable distances to commit sexual offences upon a vulnerable child.
There was no application for bail.
Michelle Thomson, who represents the Edinburgh West constituency, said she had never contacted the website.
The online dating agency, which specialises in affairs, was hacked by a group calling itself The Impact Team.
The hackers said they would publish what they claimed was a database of 37 million members.
The information has reportedly been posted on the Dark Web, described as the "underground of the internet" or the "internet black market".
Avid Life Media (ALM), which runs Ashley Madison, has branded the hackers as criminals and said it was investigating the latest claims "to determine the validity of any information posted online".
Ms Thomson, who was newly elected to Westminster at May's General Election, said: "Along with potentially millions of others, an out-of-use email address seems to have been harvested by hackers.
"I am not aware of or in contact with either Avid Life or Ashley Madison and look forward to finding out more about what has actually happened.
"However, having a personal email address linked to an account doesn't mean that person is really a user of Ashley Madison.
"Users are able to sign up to the site without responding to an email verification, meaning anyone's email address could have been used to create an account."
The Impact team said it had posted names and personal details of some of the 37 million people signed up to the site, including 1.2 million Britons.
The hackers claim that the parent company of Ashley Madison had failed its users by having lax security measures, and the service itself was a "scam" with "thousands of fake female profiles".
Her party is making a deal with the Conservatives to keep them in power.
Mrs Foster has plenty of experience of unlikely political marriages, having spent years in coalition government with unionism's long term political opponents, Sinn Féin.
Given that the IRA once tried to murder her father, she knows more than most about political compromises.
The DUP's deal with the Tories is likely to fall well short of a formal coalition - Mrs Foster's party is more likely to prop up a minority Conservative government.
However, the opportunity to play a role at the heart of the UK government comes after a very difficult few months closer to home for the DUP leader,
For many years, Mrs Foster was viewed as a strong and capable government minister, whose traumatic personal experiences shaped her passion for the unionist cause.
She became leader of the Democratic Unionist Party in December 2015 and, the following month, she was appointed first minister of Northern Ireland.
Mrs Foster is the first woman and the youngest person to hold both jobs.
But she lost her job as first minister of Northern Ireland in January after Sinn Féin pulled the plug on their power-sharing coalition at Stormont in protest at her role in a controversial green energy scheme.
Dubbed the "cash-for-ash" scandal, the costs of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme she set up in 2012 has spiralled out of control and saddled taxpayers with a multi-million pound bill.
The controversy brought both her leadership, and the very future of Stormont, into doubt.
Born Arlene Kelly in 1970, Mrs Foster grew up on a farm in rural County Fermanagh, close to the Irish border.
Her mother hailed from Belfast's Sandy Row while her father, farmer John Kelly, was also a reservist police officer in the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC).
The Troubles played a significant role in her childhood - when she was eight years old, the IRA attempted to kill her father by shooting him outside their family home.
"My father came in on all fours crawling, with blood coming from his head," Mrs Foster told the Belfast Telegraph in 2015.
Mr Kelly survived the attack, but the family was forced to sell their farm and move away, under a government scheme set up for Troubles victims under threat.
But leaving their home did not stop the attacks. About 10 years later, the IRA set off a bomb on her school bus.
The target of the attack was the bus driver, who was also a part-time soldier in the Army's Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR).
The teenage Arlene Kelly was not hurt in the explosion, but a schoolgirl sitting next to her was seriously injured.
Interviewed by BBC News in the aftermath of the bombing, the young Arlene said: "Gillian fell on top of me, sideways, and then there was about two or three seconds silence.
"Then everybody started to scream, I got up and said: 'Don't panic, don't panic'... Everybody get out'.
"Ernie, the bus driver, was coming down, helping us all get out and Gillian said 'I can't move' and that's when I saw her arm; it was completely covered in blood."
When she left grammar school in Enniskillen, the future Mrs Foster became the first member of her family to go to university, taking a law degree at Queen's University, Belfast (QUB).
She became politically active at university, joining the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and becoming chair of QUB Ulster Unionist Association.
After university, she qualified as a solicitor and began working in private practice in Enniskillen and Portadown, County Armagh.
On 24 August 1995, at the age of 25, she a married a nephew of the veteran UUP politician, Sam Foster.
The couple went on to have three children.
In 2003, Mrs Foster was elected as a UUP Assembly member for her home constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone.
However, she vehemently opposed the Good Friday Agreement and the following year, she defected to Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).
The DUP quickly recognised her as an asset and Mrs Foster was appointed environment minister when the party entered government with Sinn Féin in 2007.
The following year she was appointed minister of enterprise, trade and investment - a role she would hold for the next seven years, staying in post throughout Northern Ireland's deepest economic downturn through to the beginning of its recovery.
One of the highlights of her Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI) ministry was the opening of the Titanic Belfast - which has earned a reputation as one of the world's leading tourist attractions.
The £77m exhibition centre was delivered on time and on budget, facts that she emphasised at its official opening.
An indication of just how highly she was regarded by her party came in early 2010.
The then DUP leader, Peter Robinson, stood aside as first minister for a few weeks in the aftermath of a financial controversy, following his wife Iris's affair with a teenage businessman..
He appointed Mrs Foster to replace him on a temporary basis, while he was investigated and cleared of any wrongdoing relating to his wife's business dealings.
When Mr Robinson returned to his job, Mrs Foster enhanced her reputation as his key ally, often accompanying him to significant meetings and news conferences.
And during rocky times, she was frequently the party's first choice to go on the airwaves.
She had proved herself in high-profile government roles, and when Mr Robinson resigned as first minister in late 2015, Mrs Foster was elected unopposed as his successor.
The mother-of-three passed her first electoral test in May 2016, when the DUP consolidated its position as the largest party in Northern Ireland.
Sinn Féin and the SDLP both lost seats in the 2016 poll, while her former party, the UUP, failed to challenge her dominance as the voice of mainstream unionism.
The following month, Mrs Foster was on the winning side of the Brexit debate when the UK voted to leave the European Union.
However, her critics, including Sinn Féin, regularly point out that 56% of the Northern Ireland electorate voted to remain in the EU.
As first minister, she took a strong stand against terrorism, but her office has faced questions after it gave almost £2m to a community organisation led by a man with recent loyalist paramilitary links.
In October 2016, Mrs Foster was photographed alongside with Charter NI's chief executive, Dee Stitt, who is also a leading member of the Ulster Defence Association (UDA).
Days later, Mr Stitt launched a foul-mouthed attack on the government in a Guardian newspaper interview, vowing to "defend north Down against anybody".
Mrs Foster said he had become a "distraction" to Charter NI's community work, but did not add her voice to calls for Mr Stitt to step down as its chief executive.
Mr Stitt has previous challenged allegations that he was a UDA leader.
In December 2016, Mrs Foster found herself at the centre of a controversial green energy scheme, the so-called cash-for-ash scandal.
The aim of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme was to encourage businesses to switch to renewable fuel systems, such as wood pellet burners.
Mrs Foster launched it in 2012 when she was Stormont's economy minister.
However, a lack of cost controls and overly generous subsidies meant boiler owners could profit from the scheme - the more fuel they burned, the more money they earned.
A whistleblower claimed the subsidy scheme was being abused, with claims that one farmer aimed to collect about £1m over 20 years for heating an empty shed - fuelling "money to burn" claims. It was never proven.
The whistleblower wrote to Mrs Foster to report her concerns, and the then DETI minister passed the details to her officials for investigation, but the scheme continued to operate.
RHI was closed to new applicants in February 2016 by Mrs Foster's successor in the DETI department, DUP minister Jonathan Bell.
But in an extraordinary interview with the BBC 10 months later, Mr Bell broke ranks to claim Mrs Foster and two top DUP advisers tried to prevent him from shutting it down earlier.
Mr Bell also claimed that Mrs Foster was verbally abusive when she "overruled" his attempt to close the scheme.
In response, Mrs Foster apologised for the lack of cost controls in the RHI scheme but denied any wrongdoing.
Despite being shut to new claimants, payments continue to be made to boiler owners whose RHI applications were approved before the scheme was closed.
As a result, it was projected that more than £1bn of public money was to due to be paid out by the UK government over the next 20 years - with £490m coming from Stormont's block grant.
Cost controls have since been introduced for 2017/18 which will greatly reduce that amount, but RHI recipients who will lose out are set to challenge cost-cutting measure in the courts later this year.
The DUP leader faced calls for her resignation when the full implications of RHI were made public, but she resisted saying she had done nothing wrong.
Sinn Féin then demanded that she step aside temporarily for an inquiry to take place, and when she refused, the late Martin McGuiness resigned as deputy first minister.
The nature of their joint office meant that when he quit, she lost her job as first minister.
The collapse of the coalition government in January 2017 meant Northern Ireland's secretary of state had to call a snap assembly election.
During a bitter, and in her own words "brutal" election campaign, Mrs Foster repeatedly warned unionist voters that Sinn Féin could overtake the DUP as the biggest party at Stormont.
Controversially, she compared Sinn Féin to a "crocodile" that would keep coming back for more when she was asked about their demand for an Irish Language Act.
The reptilian insult resonated with republicans, with some commentators suggesting her remarks galvanised the Sinn Féin vote.
In the end, the DUP won the election and retained their place as the biggest party at Stormont.
However, Sinn Féin snapped at their heels, narrowing the gap to a single assembly seat and 1,168 first preference votes.
Perhaps more significantly, the result brought an end to unionists' overall majority in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
The SDLP overtook the Ulster Unionist Party for the first time, and nationalists now hold the same number of seats as unionists, in Stormont, with non-aligned parties holding the balance of power.
Author and academic Prof Jon Tonge, who has written a book about the DUP, called the assembly election an "absolute disaster for unionism".
"They may never, ever regain their overall majority in Stormont. So, from going from a very powerful position only last May 2016, suddenly unionism is in crisis."
Mrs Foster remained in post as DUP leader, but appeared to adopted a more conciliatory tone.
In April, she spoke in the Irish language for the first time at a school in Newry, County Down.
Meeting staff and students at Our Lady's Grammar School, the DUP leader used the phrase "go raibh maith agat" [thank you] in a visit filled with political symbolism.
However, week of talks between Stormont's biggest parties continued in deadlock, with Sinn Féin reiterating their demand that Mrs Foster step down or face another assembly poll.
After the Easter recess, Prime Minister Theresa May pulled the rug from under all UK parties by calling a snap Westminster election.
The shock move meant that the talks were put on hold during campaigning.
The results of the Westminster vote further polarised politics in Northern Ireland, with the DUP and Sinn Féin carving up the map between them, with the exception of a single seat.
Centre-ground parties - the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) and the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) - were wiped out at Westminster, losing all their seats.
Mrs Foster hailed the result, saying unionist voters had responded to a "wake-up call" after losing their majority in the last assembly vote.
However, it was the loss of another majority - that of the Conservative Party - which catapulted Mrs Foster into a position of considerable influence.
After it became clear that Theresa May was a handful of seats short of a government, the DUP's 10 MPs suddenly became very important indeed.
The party's website crashed on the day after the poll as a result of a surge of interest and the DUP became the most searched term on Google.
Critics of the Mrs Foster's deal with the Tories expressed concern over they price the prime minister might have to pay to stay in power.
National newspapers were scathing about some of the DUP's more controversial policies, including its opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion.
Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly have voted five times on whether or not to introduce same-sex marriage, and on the fifth time of asking, in November 2015, they voted in favour by a slim majority of 53 votes to 52.
However, the DUP then used a Stormont veto, known as a petition of concern, to block the motion and prevent any change in the law.
Discussing the move the following year, Mrs Foster insisted her party was not anti-gay and claimed they had been the target of "very, very vicious" abuse on social media by some gay rights supporters.
She said: "Do they seriously think they are going to influence me by sending me abuse?
"No, they are not going to influence me by sending me abuse - in fact, they are going to send me in the opposite direction and people need to reflect on that."
Last weekend, her party became the target of some piercing satire on social media as the UK public at large wondered who their government was considering going into partnership with.
However, the DUP leader, who refers to Westminster as the "mother of parliaments" has vowed to act in the "national interest".

Stoney, 31, told BBC Sport she decided to come out after the positive reaction to diver Tom Daley saying he was in a relationship with a man, and because of the "loving relationship" she is in.
"I was living a lie," Stoney said. "I've never hidden it within football circles because it is accepted.
"But to the outside world, I've never spoken about my sexuality."
The Arsenal Ladies defender added: "I feel it's really important for me to speak out as a gay player because there are so many people struggling who are gay, and you hear about people taking their own lives because they are homosexual. That should never happen.
"How can I expect other people to speak about themselves if I'm not willing to do that myself?"
Stoney, who has 116 caps for her country and also captained Great Britain in the London Olympics, said the decision had taken "a long while to get to" but that "a huge weight" had been lifted from her shoulders.

She said: "For the last 10 years I've always cared too much what other people think. I was frightened of the stereotypes, frightened of being judged, frightened of what other people might say, especially the abuse you can get through social media.
"But I think I'm in a place where I feel so comfortable in my own skin, I feel so loved by the person I'm with, that I feel I can face anything."
Stoney revealed the lengths she went to in order to keep her private life a secret and spoke openly about why other women football players have not come out as gay.
She also said it was "incredible" that World Cups have been awarded to Russia and Qatar given their attitudes towards homosexuals.
Russia, currently staging the Winter Olympics in Sochi, is the host for the next World Cup after this summer's in Brazil, but there have been several protests after it passed new laws banning 'gay propaganda' aimed at under 18-year-olds - widely seen as an attack on gay rights.
And with homosexuality illegal in 2022 host country Qatar, Fifa president Sepp Blatter said gay fans going to the tournament should "refrain from sexual activity".
By publicly coming out, Stoney becomes the most high-profile active gay footballer in England.
Ex-Aston Villa player Thomas Hitzlsperger retired before he revealed he was gay in January, while former Leeds player Robbie Rogers also hung up his boots last year before returning to play for David Beckham's former team, LA Galaxy.
Stoney said: "I looked at the response that Tom Daley got. It was incredibly positive, and I thought 'wow the world is changing and it's time for me to stand up and tell my side of the story'.

"Those three or four people have given me the courage to say I'm gay."
Although Stoney's sexuality is known in women's football, and to her friends and family, she is the best-known lesbian footballer to speak publicly about her personal life in this manner.
She said she wanted to help others who might also feel trapped by their identity.
"In the past, I made up lies about having a boyfriend or acted a certain way because I felt like that's how I had to act and be accepted by the modern world," Stoney admitted. "But I wasn't happy doing that, because I was always lying, and lying to myself as well."
Stoney, who plays in the semi-professional Women's Super League, says that homosexuality is more accepted in the women's game than the men's game.
She estimates there are "maybe two or three" gay players in some teams.
But she still thinks her decision to come out will cause some surprise in the women's game because so few gay players have so far spoken out.
The Londoner hopes her experiences can inspire others.
"I could look at it two ways," she added. "Is it because people don't feel like they need to come out and talk about it because it's never been an issue?
"Or is it because, like I have been for the last 10 years, people are frightened? Even in this day and age, frightened of being judged, frightened of what people might think of them, or what they might say? It doesn't change you as a person.

"Can you really be happy, can you really be yourself? If you are not comfortable in yourself and you are not comfortable in social settings or your surroundings, how can you go into a team environment and be yourself and train hard and feel relaxed with your team-mates if you don't know who you are?
"It's taken me many years, and help. I've worked with a sports psychologist on certain issues and it's been a struggle, but I've got here now."
Stoney believes there is a problem with the culture of football, and thinks world governing body Fifa set the wrong example by awarding the World Cup to Russia and Qatar.
"I won't be going to Russia or Qatar to watch a World Cup because I wouldn't be accepted there," Stoney said.
"I think it's incredible that these countries get World Cups and Olympics when they don't accept everybody to go there and be part of it. There will be [Olympic] athletes competing out [in Russia] who are gay. I can't imagine how frightened they must feel going out there and competing.
"When Russian President Vladimir Putin says that gay people can come over but please don't go near the children, what sort of message is that sending if he is that uneducated and he's ruling that country? It seriously worries me.
"It's about educating the people at the top, all the way down."

The money from the Department for Education is in addition to £27m already allocated for 2015-17.
The council has seen a "significant increase" in the demand for primary school places.
About 15,000 extra primary school places will be needed over the next five years, the council said.
Conservative councillor Roger Gough, KCC's cabinet member for education, said: "For the next few years the pressure will be predominantly for primary school places, but the need for extra secondary school places will then start to come through."
Seven new primary schools are being built at Knights Park in Tunbridge Wells, Kings Hill, Leybourne Chase and Holborough Quarry - all in Tonbridge and Malling; and East Folkestone Primary in Shepway, and Thistle Hill Primary, in Swale.
Tunstall Primary, in Swale, is being relocated and expanded.
Bauerngarten (Farmhouse Garden) is now the highest-priced landscape by the Austrian artist.
It is the first time in 20 years the oil-on-canvas had been auctioned.
The painting, showing an "informal profusion of poppies, daisies and roses" sold for £47,971,250 at Sotheby's in London.
It was part of a record-breaking sale totalling nearly £200m at the auction house on Wednesday.
Helena Newman, chairman of of Sotheby's Europe, said of the work: "Innovative in its composition and jewel-like in its exquisite blaze of colours, it is one of the artist's greatest masterpieces ever to come to auction.
"Most of the artist's oil paintings of this calibre are in major museums around the world with only a handful works of this importance having appeared at auction in the last decade."
Bauerngarten was exhibited at the Royal Academy's Painting the Modern Garden exhibition last year.
The most expensive artwork sold in Europe is Alberto Giacometti's Walking Man, which sold for £65,001,250 in 2010, followed by Peter Paul Rubens' The Massacre of the Innocents, which sold for £49,506,648 in 2002.
Sotheby's said it was a new record total for any auction staged in London, with lots totalling £194.7m. Five lots sold for more than £10m each.
Ms Newman said the result was "a new benchmark for London sales as much as it is a statement on the momentum of the global art market in 2017".
Another record was also set at the auction. Pablo Picasso's Plant de tomates was expected to reach £10m to £15m, and sold for £17m - making it a record for a Picasso still life.

The Welsh New Romantic icon - best known for the hit Fade To Grey - died in hospital in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
Ex-Visage bandmates Midge Ure and Rusty Egan said they were "devastated" to hear of his "untimely passing", adding: "Steve was a major face of the 80s."
Boy George tweeted he was "heartbroken" about the death of Strange, saying he was "such a big part of my life".
Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon tweeted that Strange was "the leading edge of New Romantic. God Bless him".
Fellow 1980s pop star Billy Idol tweeted: "Very sad to hear of my friend Steve Strange passing, RIP mate."
Spandau Ballet guitarist Gary Kemp dedicated the band's performance in Italy to "a maverick to the end", while his brother and the band's bassist, Martin Kemp, tweeted: "RIP Steve Strange goodbye my dear friend. I will miss you!"
Strange's agent, Pete Bassett, said he would be remembered as "a hard-working, very amusing and lovable individual who always was at the forefront of fashion trends".
"Up until last year he was putting together a book of fashion styles based on the New Romantic movement and it comes as a great shock.
"We understood that he had certain health problems but nothing we knew was life threatening.
"His friends and family are totally shocked, we had no idea anything like this was likely to happen."
He had suffered ill-health, including in December last year when he was admitted to Princess of Wales Hospital, in Bridgend, with a bronchial infection and an intestinal blockage.
By pop singer Kim Wilde
Steve took me out on a date to the iconic Langan's Brasserie in Mayfair right at the beginning of my career in 1981.
I was very in awe of him only having just met him, but we quickly became friends and laughed at ourselves ordering sausage and mash with champagne.
As we left, the press descended on us, we both pouted furiously and headed off to The Blitz club where we bumped into Marilyn and a host of exotic, beautiful New Romantics, drank vodka and crashed out at his apartment in Notting Hill.
When I woke up in the spare room the next morning, I wandered through his elegant apartment to find him asleep with his eye mask on. I guess he didn't get to be that flawless without a beauty regime, he certainly had looked far more glamorous than I did the previous evening.
Steve will be remembered as the most elegant and beautiful of the New Romantics at the beginning of the 80s. I'm so grateful that life brought Steve and I together, he was funny, great company and completely bonkers in the most adorable way.
Born Steven Harrington, in Newbridge, Caerphilly county, Strange got involved in music after seeing the Sex Pistols in concert in 1976.
He went to London aged 15 to work for Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McClaren before co-founding the Blitz Club in Soho, central London, which would become a focal point for the New Romantic movement.
Bands including Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and Culture Club all got their start at the club before finding stardom.
His band, Visage, formed in 1979 and their breakthrough single, Fade To Grey, peaked at number eight in the UK in 1981.
It reached number one in both Germany and Switzerland, and was the first of five UK top 40 hits for the band, which also numbered Midge Ure and Rusty Egan among its members.
Strange also starred in the video of his good friend David Bowie's number one single Ashes to Ashes in 1980. At the time, the futuristic mini-film was hailed as the most expensive pop music video in history.
Strange - who admitted he faced drug addiction problems in the years that followed his early success - recorded a new Visage album, called Hearts and Knives, in May 2013, with the band boasting a new line-up. The band also recorded a new classical interpretation of Fade To Grey last year.
In the intervening years, he had become a sought-after commentator on pop culture, appearing on a number of TV shows recalling the New Romantic era.
In a nod to his involvement in the Ashes to Ashes single, he appeared as himself in the BBC One police drama of the same name.
He also made a series of memorable appearances in BBC3 reality show Celebrity Scissorhands, winning the first series in 2007 and returning the following year as an "image consultant".
It comes after concerns that misuse of the previous system - the Liverpool Care Pathway - led to some patients being deprived of water and food.
The guidelines encourage staff to involve patients and relatives in decisions and to communicate well.
The Department of Health and charities welcomed the move.
The Liverpool Care Pathway was introduced in the late 1990s, in an attempt to ensure people had a dignified and comfortable death.
It involved a checklist to ensure patients were free from invasive procedures and medications that were no longer necessary.
But it faced increasing opposition, with some describing it as a a "tick-box exercise".
And an independent review found some patients had been left thirsty and decisions sometimes taken by inexperienced staff.
While the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence acknowledges many failings were down to how the pathway was implemented - rather than a direct consequence of the document itself - the new draft proposals are designed to address these problems.
The wide-ranging guidance intended for patients, relatives, hospitals, hospices and others involved in end-of-life care is open for public review until September 2015.
It focuses on providing personalised care, good communication and shared decision-making between staff, relatives and patients when appropriate.
NICE also says people important to the dying person should be encouraged to help with giving drinks if they wish.
Staff are advised to undertake daily reviews of medication and hydration and checks to see if the patient has improved.
If there is any uncertainty about the best course of action, staff must seek help from more experienced colleagues.
The charity, the National Council for Palliative Care, says it supports the focus on individual care.
Claire Henry, chief executive, said: "It is not a tick-box exercise that someone just has to follow. It focuses on individual needs.
"People need to have meaningful choice and be involved in decisions about their end-of-life care, allowing them to maintain comfort and dignity until they die. That's why we welcome the draft consultation."
However, she added that health and care staff needed to be provided with ongoing training "as end-of-life care is everybody's business and there is only one chance to get it right".
Prof Bee Wee, at NHS England, said: "We want to ensure that people who are dying receive the best possible care, including effective communication between them, their loved ones and the professionals looking after them.
"This draft guidance is therefore welcome, and I would encourage members of the public and professionals alike to contribute to the consultation."
The collision between three lorries and an Audi happened on the northbound carriageway of the motorway near Winchester at 10:15 BST on Monday.
Police have appealed for witnesses who may have seen or captured the accident on a dashboard camera to contact them.
The motorway was closed between junction 10 for Winchester and junction 9 at Winnall throughout the afternoon. It has since been reopened.
More on this and other stories from across the South of England.
The man and the woman who died were both travelling in the Audi.
Hampshire Constabulary said the man was from Dorset and the woman from Buckinghamshire and their next-of-kin had been informed.
The force said a 63-year-old man had been interviewed under caution and later released under investigation.
Two of the lorry drivers were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Legs 11 on Broad Street, Birmingham, had the licence suspended on 3 July over police claims it was associated with "serious crime".
Barbara Dring, the city council's licensing sub-committee chair, said it was revoked to protect public safety.
Legs 11 has not responded to requests for a comment.

Chris Neville, head of licensing, said the club had ceased trading. Its Sexual Entertainment Venue (SEV) licence was revoked earlier this month.
"We were really shocked at what was happening on those premises," he added.
Supt Andy Parsons, of West Midlands Police, called for the licence review saying the club was "associated with serious crime".
In the committee's report, he said two men had claimed they were drugged, with one testing positive for methadone with a home testing kit.
The club was being investigated over 17 fraud-related allegations since 2013, police said.
Some customers paid for dances "in a private area" but additional transactions were taking place that they had not authorised, Supt Parsons added.
One victim claimed he had lost as much as £19,417.
Mrs Dring said councillors saw "deeply concerning" CCTV footage in the meeting, which was closed to the public, including of sales of alcohol to "clearly inebriated" patrons.
They heard evidence customers had lost "significant sums of money" through unauthorised transactions, while others were "routinely overcharged" by the venue which turned over £1.6m in one six-month period, she said.
The committee heard one patron was offered sex in exchange for money, contravening the rules of the licence.
Mr Neville said the next step was to see what criminal proceedings would follow and the council would also check other lap dancing clubs in the city were being run appropriately.
Their leader Jeremy Corbyn says his party has made its position "very clear" in backing the Remain campaign, and a "big speech" from him has been promised.
That should provide more detail on what the man who voted to leave the European Economic Community in the 1975 referendum thinks this time around.
It's fair to say that so far he has hardly been on the frontlines this time round - and during Labour's leadership campaign he refused to rule out voting to leave, accusing the EU of endorsing tax havens and calling for better protection for workers and the environment.
After he confirmed Labour would campaign for Remain, he was accused by Leave campaigners of going back on long-held hostility towards the EU.
On the other side, some Remain campaigners have called for him to be more vocal in backing Labour's side of the debate.
At a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party, he was urged by backbench MPs to do more or risk a defeat for the campaign to remain.
His spokesman said he would be "at the heart" of Labour's campaign, and he has also been defended by Labour grandee and Britain Stronger in Europe board member Lord Mandelson, who said Corbyn had been "absolutely clear" in his backing for EU membership.
Mr Corbyn has expressed Eurosceptic arguments in the past - in 1993, he spoke out against the Maastricht Treaty which established the European Union and moved towards economic and political union.
The treaty, Mr Corbyn said, "takes away from national parliaments the power to set economic policy and hands it over to an unelected set of bankers who will impose the economic policies of price stability, deflation and high unemployment throughout the European Community".
He voted against the Lisbon Treaty in 2008, and in one article on his website, said the EU had "always suffered a serious democratic deficit".
Apparently written amid speculation on who would become the first European Council president in 2009, the article said: "The creation of the post of president is a triumph for the tenacity of the European long-sighters.
"The project has always been to create a huge free-market Europe, with ever-limiting powers for national parliaments and an increasingly powerful common foreign and security policy."
During the Labour leadership contest last year, the candidates were regularly asked how they would campaign in the referendum, which we now know is being held on 23 June.
At a GMB hustings Mr Corbyn said "I would advocate a No vote if we are going to get an imposition of free market policies across Europe", before going on to criticise the "growing military links" with Nato and calling for trade union "harmonisation" across the bloc, "rather than just allowing it as a business free-for-all across Europe".
In another debate, hosted by the Fabian Society, he said he had "mixed feelings" on the EU, and at a hustings in Warrington said he would not rule out campaigning to leave.
He said: "I think we should be making demands: universal workers' rights, universal environmental protection, end the race to the bottom on corporate taxation, end the race to the bottom in wage protection.
"And I think we should be making those demands and negotiating on those demands rather than saying blankly we're going to support whatever Cameron comes out with in one, two years' time, whenever he finally decides to hold this referendum."
After winning a landslide victory in Labour's leadership contest, Mr Corbyn said David Cameron should not have a "blank cheque" in his negotiations ahead of the referendum.
Under pressure from MPs to clarify his position, Mr Corbyn said he wanted the UK to remain a member but would try to reverse any "damaging changes" negotiated by Mr Cameron.
"Labour is clear that we should remain in the EU. But we too want to see reform," he wrote in the Financial Times.
He added: "If Mr Cameron fails to deliver a good package or one that reduces the social gains we have previously won in Europe, he needs to understand that Labour will renegotiate to restore our rights and promote a socially progressive Europe."
After David Cameron returned from the Brussels summit, the Labour leader said the PM's reforms were a "great opportunity missed'', adding that EU membership brought "jobs and investment".
Speaking after a meeting of the Party of European Socialists in Brussels, he said: "The Labour Party is going to be committed to campaigning to stay in the European Union.
"And when there's a Labour government in 2020, we will be trying to ensure better workers' protection across Europe, strong financial protections all across Europe, and a Europe that is based on social justice and good, rather than solely on free-market economics."
He has also stressed he is "not on the same side of the argument" as David Cameron, despite both leaders backing continued EU membership.
Speaking on BBC Question Time, Mr Corbyn's ally, shadow chancellor John McDonnell, said he and the leader would be "out there on the stump", adding: "Now is the time for us to actually come out a bit more in terms of explaining our views."
Some businesses say not enough has been done to prepare them for the biggest sporting event ever hosted in Wales.
But the team of business owners that set up the helpline said they were concerned at the number of companies yet to plan or engage with the council.
A Cardiff council spokesman said every business had been visited and given information about the arrangements.
Hundreds of thousands of fans are expected in Cardiff when Real Madrid face Juventus at the Principality Stadium next Saturday.
There will be extensive road closures for safety reasons and to manage the volume of visitors.
Jonathan Morgan, from IT company Object Matrix, said: "We told staff they can't drive to work that week and we're not expecting any deliveries - but as a company trading internationally, if communications links aren't affected, we're happy to see the event on our doorstep."
Not all city businesses expect to benefit.
"We see it on big rugby days," said Tim Corrigan, owner of the café chain Milk and Sugar.
"Different businesses benefit from the larger events - the bars, restaurants and hotels."
Businesses, like hairdressing chain Lazarou Brothers, have changed strategies.
Owner Andreas Leonardus said: "It's up to me to adapt.
"It's an amazing thing that's bringing millions to Cardiff. So what I am looking to do is to start a social media campaign to target people coming into Cardiff and staying in the hotels."
The hotels have been booked for weeks and there has been huge interest through accommodation websites.
"All our accommodation is full," claimed Nigel Read from Penarth-based estate agent Sea Breeze homes. "It's a very, very good time for the company."
But he added: "The council haven't come forward to tell us what's happening and they haven't given us any support."
A team of business owners, under the leadership of coach Cindy Williams and the banner Cyn-gost, is providing a helpline - 02920 107700 - "so we can communicate and understand, and make things a little less impactful".
They also have events planned for 31 May and 2 June in a bid help businesses in the last days of build-up and beyond.
Miss Williams said: "Over the past few weeks we have been concerned with the number of businesses yet to plan or engage with Cardiff council.
"We believe many are ill-informed, which will result in costly mistakes, or businesses simply failing to capitalize on the potential benefits.
"A 24-hour helpline, manned by experienced business owners, will provide expert, informed, and up to date advice."
Issues they are unable to help with will be logged to help with future events.
Cyn-gost member Jason Dunlop, from the consultancy A Critical Friend, said the legacy of UEFA was important.
"We will sit down with companies to look back at the Champions League data and then share the learnings with council, government and other stakeholders to improve the experience, when other world events come to our great city," he said.
A council spokesman said a team of officers had been visiting every business across the city to give information on the arrangements since March.
"This week the council worked with the Business Improvement District and the Licensee Forum to present to 400 business representatives, with staff on hand to answer any questions," he added.
"Due to the necessary security arrangements that need to be put in place, businesses need to plan ahead so they can make the most of this opportunity.
"In our meetings with businesses across the city centre we have worked hard to ensure they are aware of this and of course we are working with businesses to help facilitate their requirements where we can within the security plan.
"If there are any businesses who feel they have not had the necessary information we would urge them to contact [email protected]
"Also, the Cardiff 2017 website which is updated regularly, contains essential advice for businesses residents and visitors around the event."
After struggling for first-team football, the England international has been linked with a January move to Premier League rivals West Ham.
Sturridge has yet to score in his nine top-flight appearances this season, of which only four have been starts.
"There is absolutely no thought to sell any player from the first-team squad," said Klopp.
"I don't think it would make sense."
The 27-year-old forward has scored four goals in the EFL Cup and two for England, but is sidelined with a calf injury and will miss the Reds' trip to Bournemouth on Sunday.
"Unfortunately Daniel is not in training now and that is what I am more concerned about than any transfer rumours," Klopp added.
"But I am prepared for everything you could ask me in January."
Connor Smith, 19, died of a bullet wound to the abdomen following an attack in Forde Way Gardens, Hawkesley on 8 October.
Leon Fry, 27, of Rodney Close, Birmingham, is accused of murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Phillip Baillie, 28, and Marcus Jones, 27, are also charged with murder.
Baille, of Fordway Gardens, Hawksley and Jones, of Gildas Avenue, Kings Norton were remanded in custody by Birmingham magistrates,
Two women, aged 22 and 26, from Chelmsley Wood, and a 41-year-old man, from the Stoke area of Coventry, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, were released on police bail.
The 30-year-old will also miss the friendly in France on 13 June.

The 9ft-long (2.7m) juvenile Allosaurus was the first such dinosaur skeleton to go under the hammer in the UK, according to auctioneers.
It was found by renowned German palaeontologist Raimund Albersdoerfer in 2009 at a quarry in Wyoming, USA.
The 150-155 million-year-old skeleton was expected to fetch between £300,000 and £500,000 at Summers Place Auctions.
A spokeswoman for the auction house in Billingshurst, West Sussex, said bidding stopped below the reserve price agreed with the seller.
But Summer Place Auctions would be open to "reasonable" offers, she added.
The creature lived during the late Jurassic period and walked on two legs like its more famous carnivorous relative from the late Cretaceous period, Tyrannosaurus Rex.
However, the T-Rex had very short forelimbs, while the Allosaurus had longer arms.
Fully grown, the Allosaurus could reach 12m (39ft) in length.
The skeleton retains an articulated skull with dagger-like teeth.
Errol Fuller, curator of the sale, said relatively complete dinosaurs were extremely rare and the remains of juveniles even more so.
The bones of the Allosaurus were scattered over a wide area and intermingled with the much larger remains of a Sauropod.
Take the dinosaur quiz
Two years ago, the auction house sold the skeleton of a long-necked Diplodocus longus to the Natural History Museum of Denmark for £400,000.
It was also found in Wyoming, by the teenage sons of Mr Albersdoerfer.
Mr Fuller said the same auction house sold a mammoth last year, and also had links with Mr Albersdoerfer, who always brought his finds back to Germany.
He said there had been a "fair amount of interest in the skeleton from museums and private collectors around the world".
The seven former paratroops have asked the High Court to stop them being arrested and brought to Northern Ireland.
A lawyer for one of the paratroops told the court the challenge revolved around where they would be interviewed.
Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas said it was a "wholly exceptional case".
A 66-year-old arrested in Antrim earlier this month was the first man to be detained in the investigation.
Thirteen people were shot dead on 30 January 1972 in Londonderry when paratroops opened fire on crowds.
Fourteen others were wounded, one of whom died months later.
The lawyer said the former Parachute Regiment members had no issue with being interviewed and would co-operate.
He was speaking at the first public hearing of the judicial review action brought at the High Court in London by the former soldiers against the chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
The issue at the heart of their application was that the men should not be arrested and interviewed in Northern Ireland, he said.
A lawyer for the chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland told the court "that criminal investigations are unpleasant and unwelcome to those caught up in them but are necessary for the rule of law".
The case was described by the lord chief justice as being of "considerable interest" to the public.
Earlier this month, the PSNI made its first arrest over the Bloody Sunday killings, questioning a former member of the Parachute Regiment.
The ex-soldier was arrested in County Antrim and interviewed at a police station in Belfast before being released on bail the following day.
The legal action being considered by the three judges was lodged with the High Court after their former colleague was arrested.
Bloody Sunday was one of the most controversial days in Northern Ireland's history.
The fatal shootings, were the subject of a 12-year public inquiry led by Lord Saville.
The Saville Report, published in 2010, unequivocally blamed the army for the civilian deaths and exonerated those who were killed.
Prime Minister David Cameron accepted the findings of the report and made a public apology to the victims.
The UK government is due to publish its Wales Bill soon, transferring new powers and setting out how to make the devolution settlement clearer.
Last week, First Minister Carwyn Jones warned he would reject any attempt to weaken the powers of the assembly.
On Thursday, Mr Crabb told the Western Mail newspaper the chances of an agreement were now "very, very low".
Mr Jones's comments were in response to a report by academics that described the proposals as "convoluted" and "unstable".
The disagreement centres on a move to a Scottish-style reserved powers model, where a list of subjects remains under UK government control, leaving all other matters to be considered devolved.
Wales currently has conferred powers, where the responsibilities of the assembly are listed.
Mr Crabb said: "Carwyn and some of the academics and some more nationalist lawyers have been talking about a separate legal jurisdiction for Wales.
"The vast, vast majority of the body of law that affects Wales and the interests of Wales is done on an England and Wales basis.
"To somehow try to unpick that now is a massive, massive exercise - hugely costly."
Mr Crabb said the UK government was "having to work really, really hard with the Welsh government in a very pragmatic way but I feel very pessimistic about the chances of reaching an agreement with the Welsh government on this".
A spokesman for Mr Jones said: "We are still willing to work with the UK government on the draft Wales Bill, but we've been absolutely clear with them that what they're offering at the moment won't be acceptable to the people of Wales, or to the national assembly.
"The current proposals threaten to actually roll-back the devolution settlement - there's no mandate for that whatsoever.
"Let's be clear, if we are not satisfied that the Bill meets the needs of Wales, we will not support it."
She underwent surgery in Mumbai's Saifee hospital, and last week doctors said she had lost 250kg (550lbs).
But her sister said this was untrue, adding that her sister was in delicate health as she may have had a stroke.
The hospital has angrily rejected the allegations.
The row began on Monday when Ms Abd El Aty's sister, Shaimaa Selim, released a short video on social media, alleging that her sister was still unable to speak or move, and had not lost as much weight as the hospital was claiming.
On Tuesday, she told the BBC that the hospital was lying about her weight loss.
"He [Dr Muffazal Lakdawala, who led the operation] didn't weigh her before and after. If he has any proof of her weight loss, show us the video of her weight before and after."
Describing her sister's health as delicate, she said: "Oxygen is not normal in her body. She has to wear an oxygen mask almost all the time. There is a tube from her nose to her stomach because she can't eat or drink well from her mouth.
But a spokeswoman for the hospital told the BBC that Ms Abd El Aty was weighed again on Monday and she now weighed 172kg.
Dr Lakdawala also strongly denied the allegations in a tweet.
Eman Abd El Aty suffered a stroke at the age of 11 and her weight meant she was unable to leave her home for 25 years.
She was flown in a special aircraft in January to Mumbai's Saifee hospital where she underwent bariatric surgery in March by a team of doctors, led by Dr Lakdawala.
The hospital says she can now fit into a wheelchair and sit up for longer periods of time. It released new pictures of Ms Abd El Aty following weight reduction surgery.
Reports say Ms Selim is unhappy because the hospital authorities believe that Ms Abd El Aty's treatment is almost over and that she can be sent home to Alexandria soon.
"There are cases like this in other parts of the world. In America and in other countries, there are heavyweight people. They have been in the hospital for one or two years to lose weight and become normal.
"But just after a month or two here, the doctors say that I can take my sister back. I asked them how, as she is still very big and if anything happens to her in Egypt, how can I go to a hospital there?
"It would be impossible and nobody would help me in Egypt. I said, 'Please please keep her for a long time to help her lose weight'," her sister said.

President: Jose Eduardo dos Santos
Jose Eduardo dos Santos, of the ruling MPLA, has been in power since 1979, and is Africa's second-longest serving head of state after Equatorial Guinea's Teodoro Obiang. He keeps tight control over all aspects of Angola's political life.
Many Angolans credit the president for leading the country to recovery after the end of its 27-year civil war in 2002, and for turning the country's formerly socialist economy into one of the world's fastest-growing - mainly on the back of Angola's prodigious oil wealth.
Some, however, accuse him of authoritarianism, staying in office for too long and failing to distribute the proceeds from the oil boom more widely.
In 2008, his party won the country's first parliamentary elections for 16 years. A new constitution approved in 2010 substituted direct election of the president with a system under which the top candidate of the largest party in parliament becomes president.
It also strengthened the presidency's powers, prompting the Unita opposition to accuse the government of "destroying democracy".
He appointed his daughter Isabel as chief executive of the state-run oil firm Sonangol in 2016, prompting suspicions that he is establishing a dynasty at a time he is winding down his own career.
Isabel has been ranked by Forbes magazine as the richest woman on the continent with a fortune of around $3 billion.
Social media appeared to be under threat at the end of 2015 when President dos Santos called for their stricter regulation, at a time when the government was cracking down on political dissident and activism.
For many urban Angolans, the internet has become the primary medium for expression of political anger because of the dangers of protesting on the streets.
The state controls all media with nationwide reach, including radio, the most influential medium outside the capital.
Some key dates in Angola's history:
1300s - Kongo kingdom consolidates in the north.
1483 - Portuguese arrive.
17th and 18th centuries - Angola becomes a major Portuguese trading arena for slaves. Between 1580 and 1680 a million plus are shipped to Brazil.
1885-1930 - Portugal consolidates colonial control over Angola, local resistance persists.
1950s-1961 - Nationalist movement develops, guerrilla war begins.
1974 - Revolution in Portugal, colonial empire collapses.
1975 - Portuguese withdraw from Angola without formally handing power to any movement. MPLA is in control of Luanda and declares itself government of independent Angola. Unita and FNLA set up a rival government in Huambo.
Civil war begins, dragging on until 2002.
1979 - Jose Eduardo dos Santos becomes country's leader.
1987 - South African forces enter southeast Angola to thwart MPLA and Cuban offensive against Unita. They withdrew the next year.
1991 - Government, Unita sign peace accord in Lisbon.
1992 - Disputed elections. Fighting flares again.
1998 - Luanda launches offensive against Unita - thousands killed in next four years of fighting.
2002 - Unita leader Jonas Savimbi is killed in battle and a formal ceasefire is signed.
About 8,200 cars were recalled last November after problems were identified with the improper repair of the resistor's thermal fuse.
On Thursday, Opel said the resistor thermal fuse and the blower motors in all vehicles would be replaced.
A total of 234,938 Vauxhall Zafiras have also been recalled across the UK.
In the recall last year, the resistors in all cars were replaced along with any corroded blower motors.
This latest recall will see all cars fitted with a brand new wax fuse resistor and the blower motors on all cars will be replaced.
In a statement, Opel, which trades under the brand name Vauxhall in the UK, said customers would be contacted to bring their cars back to Opel dealerships so that "preventative action" could be carried out.
"While the current action achieves the objective of returning vehicles to their original condition, after extensive investigations we have decided to go further and improve the overall robustness of the system," the company said.
"We will therefore be initiating a second recall to replace the current soldered fuse resistor with a wax fuse resistor so reducing the opportunity for manipulation.
"When the recalls are complete, all vehicles will have a new wax fuse resistor, a new blower motor and a new moulding at the base of the windscreen to address water ingress.
"Again, this work will be conducted free of charge."
Last year, Vauxhall said it was taking "preventative action" after originally recalling the Zafira B.
The visitors were the better team in the first half, dominating possession against an under-par West Brom, but the hosts sprang back to form after the break.
Rondon's goals - all headers - came in a devastating 13-minute period early in the second half and highlighted the defensive frailties which have contributed to Swansea's poor season.
The visitors did reduce the deficit late on as Wayne Routledge finished a fine move started by substitutes Modou Barrow and Borja Baston, but it was mere consolation.
Victory for West Brom moves them to seventh, four points adrift of Manchester United in sixth, while Swansea remain in the relegation zone, three points from safety.
West Brom fans, accustomed to better at home this season from a team who had lost just three of their last 11 league games prior to this match, were clearly frustrated before the break as they watched the Baggies lose possession too easily.
But, despite being below their best, the hosts did engineer the best chances of the first half.
Rondon drew a fine save from Lukasz Fabianski, while Nacer Chadli thought he had headed home Chris Brunt's free-kick, only for the goal to be disallowed with Jonas Olsson deemed offside.
Those missed chances mattered little as the Baggies transformed their fortunes after the break by playing at high tempo and pressing with urgency.
They were also helped by a Swansea defence that repeatedly failed to deal with crosses into the box.
Rondon headed home Matt Phillips' inswinging free-kick to open the scoring and, 11 minutes later, was again unmarked as the £12m striker converted Brunt's deep cross towards the far post.
The Venezuelan completed his hat-trick in the 63rd minute, with Brunt again the provider as the striker found the top-right corner.
The 27-year-old becomes only the second player to score a hat-trick of headers in the Premier League, with former Everton striker Duncan Ferguson the only other to do so, against Bolton in 1997.
The visitors were the more assured and composed in possession in the first half, replicating the pattern of play which eased them to a 3-0 win over relegation rivals Sunderland on Saturday.
Bob Bradley's men enjoyed over 60% of possession in the opening 45 minutes, but did not truly test Ben Foster in West Brom's goal, which proved to be their downfall.
Indeed, the closest they came to scoring was through Brunt as the Baggies defender nearly swept Jefferson Montero's cross into his own net.
But the ease with which Swansea quickly crumbled after the break magnified the team's weakness - they have now conceded 15 goals in five league games away from home under manager Bradley.
The Welsh side, second best in the aerial duels, stood back as West Brom attacked and paid the price.
Bradley, who replaced Francesco Guidolin as manager on 3 October, admitted his team conceded the second "too quickly" and said Swansea need to "turn things around fast".
West Brom boss Tony Pulis: "We played 24 hours later [last weekend] than Swansea had and, in the first half, we looked laboured.
"I'm pleased for the group. I thought in the first 20 minutes of the second half - that's where the game was won and we played like we can play.
"We say a few things [at half-time] and sometimes you have to say a few things. It was more to do with the fact we had to step up. The main players in the team stepped it up, and that was the important for us. They were three fantastic headers. We're pleased for him and the group. We really had to dig deep and oil the engine."

Swansea boss Bob Bradley: "Defence is an area where we have to improve. If we could have kept in the game at 1-0, started to play some passes... but all too many times this season we give up the second goal all too quickly and that happened again.
"Even when you play well, you don't always take the lead. On both the second and third goals, we didn't move out very quickly, and they were allowed deep into the box.
"I thought the first half was solid. Now the key is being able to play for 90 minutes and handle different situations in the game."

The 25-year-old man turned on to the tracks on Wednesday night and became stuck trying to reverse, police say.
He managed to get out of the car before it was hit by the train which pushed the wreckage 15m along the tracks, causing lengthy commuter delays.
None of the 13 passengers on the train was injured.
A local resident told ABC News that it was not the first time such an incident had happened.
"His GPS has turned him left onto the railway lines," the resident said of the latest mishap. "It looks a lot like a road at night."

It wasn't so much an announcement as a low-key, no-fuss comment in the middle of an interview. In many ways, it was entirely in keeping with O'Connell's unassuming personality; not for him, the fanfare.
There were rumours, of course, that this was the Limerick endgame, but O'Connell had refused to feed them.
After 14 years in which he has won two Heineken Cups and three Celtic League titles, and has set the standard by which everyone else at the club lives, the long farewell was not for him.
Brian O'Driscoll had a goodbye tour and was entitled to it, but O'Connell, 35, preferred to slip away quietly - or as quietly as can be, given the thunder that still exists in his game, the enormous desire for success that will see him spend the last two years of his playing career in Toulon, the pre-eminent club on the continent.
That move is expected to be confirmed next week.
On Saturday, in the Pro12 final at the Kingspan Stadium in Belfast, O'Connell will end the most magnificent adventure - and how he will be missed in the province.
O'Connell would be the first to say that no man is irreplaceable, but there will be many in Munster who'd question that. They will miss him terribly; his intensity on the field and his humility off it.
A small example: when his local paper, the Limerick Leader, organised a campaign recently to clean up the city, O'Connell was one of the first on to the streets with his sweeping brush. A hero and an everyman in one beloved package.
The goodbyes in Belfast don't begin and end with O'Connell, though.
His fellow number five and mirror image in the inspiration stakes, Al Kellock, will also make his final appearance, off the bench. There is no glamour move to France for Kellock after this - he's retiring, full-stop.
Kellock has been a colossus for Glasgow, a leader off the park as much as on it: a second-row, a captain, an ambassador, a chief bottle washer.
Part of the reason why Glasgow have made such strides is because of Kellock's influence around the place.
Newcomers look at his dedication and passion and they understand what's required - or they don't last very long.
The Scot may not have reached the stratospheric highs of O'Connell in his career - he's even been in and out of the team quite a lot in recent times - but his impact in his own place has been just as profound.
The dual departures lend the Pro12 final an added fascination. Two men leaving but only one of them will have the finale that their vast support would want for them.
These two teams finished joint-top of the league, only points difference dividing them. They're the best in the competition, but they have issues. In recent weeks, Glasgow have lost some of the stability that they had for much of the season.
They have creaked at times: they put in a sub-standard performance in the semi-final against Ulster but got out of jail courtesy of guts and brilliance at the death.
They were poor for large chunks of the match against a weakened Ulster the previous week and the week before that they were comfortably taken down by the Ospreys.
Their scrum and lineout have been rocky, the number of handling errors has been rising and they have taken an age in games to crank up their phase-play and their aggression. They get there in the end; a testament to their character.
They have a backline that can cause huge problems to any team, but their forwards have been too passive for too long in matches in recent weeks. The Glasgow pack needs to rediscover its inner-grunt.
Gregor Townsend, their hugely impressive coach, has altered his team and already it looks better: Gordon Reid is back in at loose-head and that's an upgrade on Ryan Grant; Rob Harley returns at blind-side and brings aggression and a marvellous capacity to mess opponents around.
On the wing, DTH van der Merwe, another man saying farewell, comes in for Niko Matawalu, the creative but utterly unpredictable and defensively suspect Fijian.
Matawalu is Glasgow's break-glass-in-case-of-emergency option: a game-breaker who Townsend deploys presumably with his fingers crossed that the game he breaks is the other team's and not his own.
Munster are nobody's idea of the complete side. For a club that has known such success, they are now four years without a trophy.
Only four of their players who will start in the Pro12 final have won something with Munster: Felix Jones, Keith Earls, Donnacha Ryan and O'Connell.
Time has moved on for them since winning the Magners League in 2011. That team had Doug Howlett and Ronan O'Gara; Marcus Horan and John Hayes; Donncha O'Callaghan and David Wallace. Icons all.
Since then, they have lost two Pro12 semi-finals and two Heineken Cup semi-finals.
They're still a very dangerous team with a maul that could blast Glasgow to kingdom come unless Townsend's team have got a plan for it, but they're less of a force than Leinster were when beating Glasgow in last year's final. Munster have also suffered the grievous loss of Conor Murray and Peter O'Mahony through injury.
Their own passage to the final was fraught. Not as hair-raising as Glasgow's in Scotstoun but nervous enough. Against the Ospreys, they had a big lead and almost coughed it up at the end. They had kick after kick at goal and Ian Keatley kept missing.
They spurned 15 points from the tee, a level of profligacy that will see them beaten in Belfast if it's repeated. This will be a game of fine margins.
Munster are looking for their sixth major title, but Glasgow are justifiable favourites even though they're still without silverware in the professional era. At their best, Townsend's team have the ammunition to win.
They also have a better cavalry on the bench. They need attitude and accuracy and more dog up front than they've shown recently.
That's the combination that will see them home. Anything less and it'll be the great O'Connell who gets the fairytale ending and not Kellock. Two warriors, but only winner.
The Londoners had four great chances to take the lead inside the first quarter of an hour, but had to wait until the second half to break the deadlock.
Mark Beevers opened the scoring as he headed in a corner from eight yards.
Vale's Enoch Andoh had chances to score either side of Beevers' goal before Lee Gregory hit a stoppage time penalty after he was fouled by Jak Alnwick.
Scientists have nicknamed the creature 'platypus-zilla' and say it would have been huge when compared to an ordinary platypus, measuring more than 1 metre long.
Tests show the creature would have lived between five and 15 million years ago.
Prof Mike Archer, from the University of New South Wales in Australia, said: "Suddenly up pops 'playtpus-zilla' - this gigantic monstrosity that you would have been afraid to swim with.
"It indicates there are branches in the platypus family tree that we hadn't suspected before."
Today, all that survives of this platypus is a single fossilised tooth, which was unearthed in the Riversleigh fossil beds in northwest Queensland.
Based on its size, the researchers have estimated that the new species (Obdurodon tharalkooschild) would have been at least twice as large as today's platypus.
Bumps on its teeth and other fossil finds nearby suggest that the creature feasted on crustaceans, turtles, frogs and fish.
Although the area where the molar was found is a desert, millions of years ago it would have been covered in forest. The researchers think the creature would have spent its time in and around freshwater ponds.
Prof Archer said that with just one tooth, it was difficult to work out exactly what this species would have looked like.
However other fossils suggest that it could have shared the same bizarre appearance as today's platypuses, with their duck-like bills, large webbed feet and poisonous spurs. But this would have been on a much larger scale.
Not many platypus fossils have been found and so researchers have difficulty getting a full picture of the creature's history.
Prof Archer said: "The discovery of this new one was a bit of a shock to us. It was a wake-up call that the platypus's story, the more we know about it, is increasingly more complicated than we thought."
The researchers are now hoping to find more platypus fossils in the same area to try and shed more light these unusual Australian animals.

Maidstone RFC was fined £2,000 and deducted 50 points after a Rugby Football Union hearing in January.
The hearing found the club guilty of conduct prejudicial to the interests of the game.
Clarence Harding's right eye was gouged during a game between Gravesend Rugby Club and Maidstone on 17 January 2010.
In November, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) said it could not be determined which player was responsible for causing the injury in the match at Mote Park.
Judge Jeff Blackett, chief disciplinary officer, cleared Maidstone player Matt Iles of eye gouging at a previous hearing, but he also determined Mr Harding had been injured in a deliberate act.
The momentum is building, with environmentalists, politicians and scientists all keen to avoid what one called a "Copenhagen 2 scenario".
Behind the headlines there appears to be an effort to manage expectations.
And a whole new lexicon is building around the talks at the end of the year.
Take INDCs - Intended Nationally Determined Contributions. These are the actions to reduce carbon emissions which countries are pledging to commit to from 2020 onwards.
Scientists are already warning that the goal of limiting climate change to no more than 2 degrees over pre-industrial levels looks set to fail, based on an analysis of the submissions declared so far.
Only this month, research led by Professor Nicholas Stern, a prominent UK voice on climate change, said: "It seems unlikely that the pledges from all countries before the Paris summit will collectively be sufficient to bridge the gap to an emissions pathway that is consistent with the limit of 2°C."
But others appear more optimistic. Johan Rockstrom, of the Stockholm Resilience Centre in Sweden, told me in April that the world had moved on since Copenhagen, and was now better informed.
"We have so much more evidence compared to 2009 on the opportunities to succeed in the transformation towards a low carbon world economy, and secondly we have much more science to support the necessity of urgent action," he said.
"Solar and wind technology in particular is now at grid parity - or is competitive compared to fossil fuels."
In preparation for the Paris summit, an interim UN meeting is getting under way in Bonn, Germany.
Several INDCs are already in, including the pledges of large emitters such as the EU and the US.

Once all are in by the autumn, they will be put into something that resembles a giant spreadsheet, which will form the basis of the negotiations in December.
It is this process that makes Paris very different from previous climate talks.
According to Oliver Geden, from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, there is a paradigm shift under way in international climate policy, with the move from a top-down to bottom-up approach. And it creates a paradox.
"If you look at it from a procedural point of view, INDCs are a success," says Dr Geden. "If you look at it from an outcome point of view, it's clearly not enough to keep us below 2 degrees."
So what can we expect to see in the coming months?
Scientists will continue to warn of the need to meet the 2 degree target, and there will be more calls for governments to aim for 1.5ËšC instead. And nature could pile the pressure on politicians by the end of the year.
The link between extreme weather and climate change is hotly debated, but imagine a scenario where an El Nino is disrupting weather around the world and temperatures are heading towards the record books, just as ministers are meeting in Paris.
And, while climate change deals don't tend to produce the sort of national success stories that can be touted about at elections, politicians can't afford not to come up with some kind of deal. They may well talk of keeping 2 degrees "within reach".
If the agreement, or, more likely multiple agreements, ends up wide of the mark, there is already talk of building in ratcheting-up mechanisms for after Paris and perhaps a new round of INDCs.
What could come out of Paris is a framework of huge complexity attempting to knit together a mishmash of different goals and time frames.
There's a chance the public will be left mystified about what it all means.
Greek officials familiar with the country's financial situation say it has the money to make the bank transfer and the next IMF payment due in a few days' time.
So the decision to become the first developed country EVER to delay a repayment to the IMF is understood as being the latest message of defiance from Greece to its international creditors: "Don't push us too far. We'd rather snap than bend".
And it could yet come to that.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is under immense pressure at home, as will be painfully evident on Friday when he addresses the restive Greek parliament.
His party was, of course, voted into government on an anti-austerity ticket, with a promised hard line attitude towards Greece's hated international creditors.
At this tense, precarious stage in bailout negotiations, Athens is prickling with rumours that Mr Tsipras may yet call a referendum or even snap elections in the hope of getting a popular mandate either to crash out of the eurozone or, more likely, a popular nod to take the medicine necessary to stay in.
Mr Tsipras reportedly spoke again at length to France's President Francois Hollande and to Germany's Angela Merkel by phone on Thursday night.
In a BBC interview a little earlier, the German chancellor told me that Greece remained a No 1 priority for her.
She said she still hoped there would be a positive outcome but admitted the negotiations were tough and she was insistent that the Greek government still had a lot of work to do.
Often painted as the villain of this drama, it's worth remembering that Chancellor Merkel is also under huge pressure at home over Greece's euro woes, including from within her normally extremely loyal CDU party.
Greece was front page news in the German newspapers again on Friday - as it is most days.
German taxpayers are the biggest European national contributors to Greek bailout funds.
Germans are very aware that this current hoo-ha is focused only on finding a short-term solution for Greece, never mind Greece's long-term economic viability.
The current vexed bailout runs out at the end of this month.
Greece will then still need tens of billions of euros of help to survive.
EU leaders are used to late-night, last-minute compromises.
Many are planning for that on Greece at an EU summit late this month.
But Alexis Tsipras is not your typical euro-politician.
He remains an unknown quantity and that makes Europe's economists and politicians pretty nervous.
Evha Jannath, from Leicester, was on a school trip when she fell from the Splash Canyon ride at Drayton Manor Theme Park on 9 May.
An inquest into her death was opened and adjourned on Wednesday.
The South Staffordshire Coroner's office said she died from "blunt force chest trauma" and a further inquest hearing would be heard on Tuesday.
Staffordshire Police and the Health and Safety Executive are jointly investigating the incident at the park.

More than 100 mourners attended Evha's funeral service at Saffron Hill Cemetery in Leicester on Tuesday.
The Muslim Burial Council of Leicestershire said Evha's death had "touched the hearts of many people".
The theme park, near Tamworth, Staffordshire, closed for three days following the death but reopened on Saturday.
Coastguards and the Local Government Association (LGA) said people needed to assess risks more carefully, and not enter closed-off areas.
Rescues have been needed for people who climbed too far down rock faces or were trying to retrieve their dogs.
Walkers are also warned about the risk of rock falls from crumbling cliffs.
Sunbathers were also warned to avoid sitting too close to the bottom of cliffs in case of falling rocks.
The LGA, which represents more than 370 councils and 48 fire and rescue authorities in England and Wales, highlighted cases where firefighters and other emergency workers had had to rescue people who had become trapped while trying to save their pets, fallen down cliffs, or gone into sectioned-off areas.
Following 118 Royal National Lifeboat Institution launches for people on cliffs in 2014, the number rose to 166 launches in 2015.
Firefighters in England rescue people stuck on cliffs or beaches around once a month.
The LGA is calling for a national campaign to highlight the risks of climbing, walking along or bathing near cliffs.
Simon Blackburn, chairman of the LGA's safer and stronger communities board, said: "At this time of year, a walk along the cliffs can be lovely but, while the views may be picturesque, they come with their own perils.
"It is irresponsible and negligent for any inexperienced climber to scale cliffs because not only are they jeopardising their own safety, they are also endangering the lives of firefighters and fellow rescue workers who are expected to come to their aid when they get stuck or fall."
And he added: "Dogs should also be kept on a lead near cliffs where possible to help avoid them - and their owners - becoming stranded or getting into trouble."
However, police figures showed that just 19 of the 459 drivers caught were found to be between Scotland's old and new drink-drive limit.
The drink-drive limit was lowered at the beginning of December 2014.
The seasonal spike contrasts with a fall of 7.6% in the number of drivers caught in 2015 compared with 2014.
A total of 16,225 people were tested between 3 December 2015 to 1 January 2016 (an average of 579 drivers a day) with 459 found to be over the limit.
This compares with a total of 17,504 people tested during the previous festive enforcement campaign when 351 drivers were found to be over the legal limit.
The total number of drivers found to be over the legal limit in 2015 was 5,204 compared with a total number of 5,503 in 2014.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "It is encouraging to see that the number of people caught drink-driving has fallen since the introduction of the lower limit.
"Unfortunately, there is still a persistent minority of drivers who continue to ignore the law, particularly during the height of summer and over the festive season.
"Campaigns like this one help to reinforce the message that drink-driving is unacceptable.
"Of the 459 drivers caught drink-driving, just 19 were found to be between the old and new limit.
"This shows that the majority of those caught are well over the limit, which is why we are working with Police Scotland on enforcement campaigns like this to crack down on this persistent minority."
Ch Supt Andy Edmonston, head of road policing at Police Scotland, said: "Despite the encouraging 12 month-drop and general downward trend in the number of drink/drug-driving detections, it is disappointing that during the recent festive drink-drive campaign we caught 459 drivers who were prepared to cause danger to others as well as themselves.
"Road safety is a high priority for Police Scotland throughout the year and our officers will continue to target those who are intent on causing danger to others by driving whilst under the influence of drink.
"I would like to take this opportunity to also thank the many members of the public who phoned the police to report suspected drunk/drug-drivers during the festive period as this helped enable us to take appropriate action."
The drink-drive limit in Scotland was lowered on 4 December 2014, from 80mg of alcohol in every 100ml of blood to 50mg.
Scottish Liberal Democrat justice spokeswoman Alison McInnes said she was concerned that the number of breath tests conducted by Police Scotland was not recorded outside specific campaign periods.
"Without further information on the overall number of breath tests on motorists outside of drink-drive campaigns it is difficult to draw wider conclusions over drink-drive rates," she said.
"It is time that Police Scotland looked again at recording breath tests so we know whether fewer people are deciding to drink-drive or there are simply fewer people being tested."
After results from the regional lists were returned, the Tories ended up with 31 seats - 32 behind the SNP on 63.
Scottish Labour won 24 seats, the Scottish Greens six and the Lib Dems five.
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson celebrated after she won the Edinburgh Central seat from the Nationalists.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron congratulated Ms Davidson on the "historic result".
The Tory PM said: "She is a leader who will stand up to the SNP and give Scotland strong opposition."
Ms Davidson received 10,399 votes in her constituency, an increase of 15% from 2011 when the Conservatives came fourth.
The Scottish leader said she was under "no illusion" that many people who backed the Tories were "true blue Conservatives".
She said many first-time Conservative supporters backed the party "because there's a job of work they want us to do".
Ms Davidson added: "I hope the message that was resonating was of being a strong opposition, to hold the SNP to account, to saying no to a second independence referendum, to respect the decision that our country made and to really focus on the things we're paying a government to focus on, on schools, on hospitals, on public services. That's what people want."
Scottish Conservative Alex Johnstone said they had proved they were a "traditional Scottish party with Scottish values".
There were also significant gains for the Conservatives in Aberdeenshire West from the SNP, and Eastwood and Dumfriesshire from Labour.
Oliver Mundell, the son of Scottish Secretary David Mundell, won the Dumfriesshire seat, with 13,536 votes.
Twenty-six-year-old Mr Mundell has spoken of helping to deliver leaflets for his father at the age of just eight.
The Conservatives took two of the other three seats covering Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders.
Finlay Carson held Galloway and West Dumfries, while Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire was held by John Lamont.
The Tories also won Aberdeenshire West from the SNP after a major swing in the vote.
Alexander Burnett was elected after the party's share surged 17% to leave Dennis Robertson in second place.
The 26-year-old Wales international has been with the Lady Glovers since returning in 2014.
The former Bristol Academy and Chelsea player also represented Bristol Rovers after starting her career with Yeovil.
"I never thought I would be in WSL 1 with my hometown club, so it is fantastic," she told the club website.
On 8 March, Yeovil defender Nicola Cousins also extended her stay with the newly-promoted side.
Mogue Lawless, who was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, won the Point of Light award for his work with people with mental health difficulties.
Mr Lawless's project, Start Talking, also raised awareness of mental health issues among 2,000 young people.
Every year one in four people in the UK experience mental health problems.
Point of Light awards are given to recognise outstanding individual volunteers and people who are making a change in their community.
Mr Lawless' projects included organising an exhibition of artwork created by students with mental health issues and engaging visitors in conversations about mental health.
"Some people really engaged, and others didn't," he said.
"It's the ones that didn't that I'm more drawn to. They don't view it as a problem, just something that's on the fringes.
"They are the ones I really want to have the conversations with."
A survey conducted by mental health charity, Mind, found that 17% of people in the UK have experienced thoughts of taking their own lives.
Profits from the artwork sold is being used for a second exhibition, to showcase work of homeless young adults with mental health issues.
Mr Lawless said: "It's important to collaborate with people who have a direct understanding of the problems, and use them to communicate and raise awareness."
He was able to find support for his own condition through the NHS, but said: "For people who have compounded problems, like alcoholism, homelessness or drug addiction, the routes into support are long and arduous."
The three points moved Thistle ahead of Motherwell, who would have cursed their luck at Lawless' injury-time goal.
For long enough the game had seemed certain to finish goalless, with both defences dogged.
Motherwell's best chance fell to Stephen McManus, whose header was cleared off the line by Gary Fraser.
The conditions set a challenge for the players. Sleet showers greeted them as they emerged for their warm-ups, and significant areas of the pitch were bare and heavily sanded due to the recent heavy rain.
Passes tended to be rushed in a crucial encounter, with both sides winless in the league in 2016 and aware that a continuation of that form would drag them closer to second-bottom Kilmarnock.
The early exchanges were promising, with Dan Seaborne meeting Stuart Bannigan's cross but seeing his header saved by Conor Ripley.
The flow of the game was routinely interrupted, though, with five players booked in the opening half.
There were flashes of attacking intent, with Scott McDonald and Marvin Johnson lively for the visitors and Lawless and Kris Doolan carrying a threat to the Motherwell defence.
The visitors managed a flurry of pressure before half-time and felt that Johnson was fouled in the area, but the referee Barry Cook waved play on.
Motherwell worked an opening for Stephen Pearson inside the area but his effort was deflected wide by Seaborne.
Thistle switched to a front two when Mathias Pogba came off the bench, and he carried a different type of threat to the Motherwell defence with his muscular presence. He managed to meet a Gary Miller cross with his head but the ball ended up on the roof of the net.
The breakthrough finally came when Thistle broke on the counter and Lawless saw his effort fly beyond the helpless Ripley via a deflection.
Borthwick, 26, has established himself as a heavy-scoring number three batsman, but his bowling impact has been limited at the Riverside.
The move to a more spin-friendly Oval track could improve his opportunities.
"Playing at the Oval will suit my game as a leg-spinner/batter," Borthwick told BBC Newcastle.
"It's just for purely cricketing reasons, it came down to a massive decision.
"I'm a Sunderland lad, a north-east lad and played here since I was 10 or 11. That's why it's taken as long as it did."
With economic circumstances forcing Durham to be prudent in the recruitment of players, the county's academy set-up has been crucial to keeping Durham competitive.
As such locally and regionally-born players such as Borthwick, Graham Onions, Mark Wood, Ben Stokes, Paul Coughlin and more recently Jack Burnham and Graham Clark have all come through to the first-team picture.
"Durham have been fantastic to me since I was a kid, back from John Windows and Geoff Cook, I'd like to thank them," Borthwick added.
"Then there's Jon Lewis, Alan Walker and Nigel Kent, and Paul Collingwood who have been a massive help to me in my career."
Michelle Meloitte, 61, of Bannagh Beg Road in Kesh, appeared in court after admitting fraud by abuse of her role.
A prosecution barrister said Meloitte "dishonestly exploited" an elderly patient whom she had asked for a loan.
He added that she chose not to repay it until her conduct was investigated.
Meloitte, who has since repaid the money, will be sentenced next month.
Omagh Crown Court, sitting in Dungannon, County Tyrone, heard that the victim, Michael McGrory, was suffering from Alzheimer's disease and Meloitte was aware of his condition when she approached him in February 2010 "to ask him for a favour".
He agreed to sign a cheque in the presence of his home carer with a guarantee it would be paid back in the summer of that year.
The carer confronted Meloitte a year later when the money was not repaid, but the doctor told her "not to worry about it".
The money was returned when police began an inquiry.
Mr McGrory died in 2012 and a defence lawyer said there had been no financial loss to him or his estate.
Meloitte's reputation was now "besmirched", he added, and she had not practiced as a GP for the last five years.
The judge adjourned sentencing until 4 April.
The General Medical Council will decide whether to remove the doctor from the medical register at a hearing on 18 May.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is investigating what happened at the Albany Molecular Research Inc site in Greenfield.
Lara Cubley, regulatory officer at NRW, said the spill was contained within a building.
She added action would be taken if the site's environmental permit had been breached.
The man taken to hospital at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd was kept in overnight as a precaution.
It is not known what chemical was involved.
A number of homes on Charlotte Street were evacuated during a security alert that ended at 03:13 BST.
The "viable device" was thrown at the Lecky Road flyover, police said.
The fire reached 20ft (6m) in height and partially blocked the road, leading to complaints from some residents..
Union jacks and Sinn Féin election posters were burned on the fire.
"We are investigating all offences committed at the bonfire in the Bogside last night, including a serious incident where a viable pipe bomb-type device was thrown at a police patrol," said PSNI District Commander Mark McEwan.
Foyle Democratic Unionist Party MLA Gary Middleton, who was in the Bogside earlier on Monday, condemned those behind the attack.
"The fact that a viable pipe bomb was thrown, potentially putting dozens of lives at risk, is a deeply worrying incident," he said.
"Those who constructed and threw this device are terrorists who clearly have no regard for the lives of anyone in the city.
"My thoughts are also with many residents who were forced to leave their homes for a number of hours last night," Mr Middleton added.
A last-minute attempt to move the structure from the middle of the road failed on Monday night.
Sinn Féin MLA Raymond McCartney said he believed dissident republicans were responsible for the bonfire and the security alert.
"I don't think the focus should be on the election posters," said Mr McCartney.
"There was election posters of all other parties, ourselves included.
"This isn't an act of defiance, this is a group of young people aided and abetted by other dissident elements in this city."
Independent councillor Gary Donnelly said young people in the area have been forgotten about.
"People need to sit around the table and have dialogue - there seems to be a complete disconnect with the young people in that area," he said.
"All week they have been bombarded by a relentless demonisation and criminalisation policy by some elected representatives.
"They will no doubt say that two or three thousand people at that bonfire in the Bogside would be support."
A number of community festivals were held in Creggan, Shantallow and the Bogside to provide an alternative to the annual bonfire.
Bonfires are traditionally set alight on 15 August in some nationalist areas of Derry to mark the Catholic feast day of the Assumption.
The date commemorates the Virgin Mary's death and assumption into heaven.
However, nationalist and republican politicians have criticised the practice, saying it causes disruption to local residents.
Social Democratic and Labour Party councillor John Boyle said: "We need to find different ways of celebrating culture.
"If the police or any other statutory agency had attempted to remove the bonfire we may well actually have been looking at something a hell of a lot worse than we're looking at currently."
The 4.5-acre (1.8-hectare) warship has been anchored off Stokes Bay because it is too big to dock at Portsmouth's Royal Navy base.
Its sailors were due to disembark the ship for shore leave later this week.
Portsmouth City Council said the influx of the ship's crew to the city could lead to a boost of about £1.5m for the local economy.
Donna Jones, leader of Portsmouth council said: "This is great news for Portsmouth because it means money spent in local businesses: restaurants, cafes and shops, as well as strengthening the ties between the British and American Navy."
The visit is the ship's first port of call in its round-the-world deployment.
The Royal Navy's First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir George Zambellas, said: "It is excellent to see US Navy carrier steel in Portsmouth. And in barely two years we will see UK carrier steel here too."
The ship is substantially larger than the Royal Navy's next generation of carriers, due in 2017, which weigh in at 65,000 tonnes.
The Roosevelt is accompanied by its escort ship, the destroyer Winston S Churchill, which traditionally has a UK navigator on board to honour the ship's British connection.
The post is currently held by 27-year-old Lieutenant Lynsey Sewell.
During the five-day visit the two navies will also come face-to-face on the football field when a Theodore Roosevelt team face HMS Diamond at HMS Temeraire.
The two ships will depart on March 27.
Three prizes totalling £100,000 will be awarded to new film-makers, including one to encourage people aged over 50 to film their first documentary.
Whicker, who died in July 2013 aged 87, travelled the globe for more than 50 years making TV programmes.
He was best known for presenting Whicker's World from 1959 to 1988.
The launch of the awards, aimed at supporting authored documentary storytelling in the UK, was announced at the Sheffield Documentary Festival.
As well as encouraging older documentarians, there will also be a prize for the best debut film-maker under the age of 30.
After joining BBC television in 1957, Whicker worked on the Tonight programme which saw him presenting a whole series of offbeat reports from a wide variety of places and countries.
Two years later he started presenting Whicker's World which ran for 30 years, first on the BBC and then ITV. The programme saw him crossing continents covering a bewildering variety of topics.
Peter Sellers, Joan Collins, writer Harold Robbins and the Sultan of Brunei were among his famous interviewees along with the notorious Haitian dictator "Papa Doc" Duvalier.
The first winners of the Whicker's World Foundation awards will be announced on the final day of next year's Sheffield Doc Fest.
PC Ian Johnson also sent texts joking about the murders of colleagues Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes, who were based at his station in Hyde.
At a hearing, Mr Johnson was dismissed with immediate effect by Greater Manchester Police.
A second officer, PC Gareth Lynch, was also sacked for not speaking up.
Mr Johnson told the hearing that he was "scared" of the man who he had given a lift to.
A spokeswoman for GMP said he would not be facing criminal charges for perverting the course of justice after he was cleared by a Crown Court jury of misconduct in a public office in January last year.
After a bar fight in Hyde, Greater Manchester, police were searching for a suspect thought to be involved. He was later spotted entering the Queen Adelaide pub.
A short time later, Mr Johnson sent a radio message back to base saying he and his colleague Mr Lynch had checked the building, with the suspect not there.
The hearing was told adequate checks had not been made.
In a recording released by GMP, Mr Johnson told a control room operator: "Yeah, myself and Gary have been into the pub. It would appear he's gone straight in the front which leads into an estate. He's not in the pub at the moment."
Operator: "So you think he's done one from the pub from the opposite end?"
Mr Johnson: "Yeah. I'm just trying to work out where that thing takes you out onto. He's still living in Hattersley so he will roll up their eventually."
CCTV footage shown during the misconduct hearing shows Mr Johnson initially driving away from the pub, on Stockport Road.
He then returns, with the suspect seen outside the pub flagging down his patrol car. The pair drove off together, heading for the suspect's home in Hattersley.
The suspect was arrested the following day by other colleagues, police said. He is currently serving a prison sentence and is not eligible for parole until mid 2018.
After a counselling session shortly after the deaths of his colleagues, the hearing heard a text was sent from Mr Johnson's phone, saying he should have "got an Oscar for today's performance".
A second text was sent with words to the effect he "couldn't be bothered" going to one of their funerals.
PCs Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23, were shot dead by Dale Cregan in 2012.
At the police disciplinary hearing, Mr Lynch was also sacked for not challenging Mr Johnson for sending a false message on the radio.
Ali, 74, is being treated by doctors as a precaution and is described as being in a "fair condition". A brief hospital stay is expected.
Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984, after quitting boxing.
The three-time world champion was last hospitalised in January 2015 following a severe urinary tract infection.
Family spokesman Bob Gunnell confirmed Ali's condition to the Associated Press but did not divulge which hospital was treating him or when he was admitted.
The all-rounder succeeds fellow Lancastrian David Lloyd to become only the seventh president in its history.
Flintoff, 38, said: "This is a huge honour, especially as it will be the Golden Jubilee of the PCA in 2017."
He played in 79 Tests, 141 one-day internationals and seven Twenty20 internationals between 1998 and 2009.
Flintoff, who played a key part in two Ashes series wins in 2005 and 2009, was also voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2005.
Only John Arlott, Jack Bannister, Mike Gatting, Sir Ian Botham, Chris Broad and Lloyd have previously been president at the PCA, the representative body of past and present first-class cricketers in England and Wales.
AFP report that Bale has suffered a minor setback in his recovery from a calf injury.
Bale has been out since suffering the injury in a 5-1 win against Sporting Gijon in January.
"He needs time and we need to be patient," Zidane said.
"We need Gareth to be 100% fit."
Bale, 26, will not feature at home to Athletic Bilbao in La Liga on Saturday.
"He is feeling better every day but I am not going to say that he will be back training with us next week," Zidane said.
"If he is feeling pain then it is to be expected that he might suffer a setback.
"Gareth is such an important player for us that we are not going to take any risks."
Renovations on the clock tower of the Gallery of Modern Art in Royal Exchange Square began in May last year.
The £400,000 project saw the tower and weather vane, which date back to 1827, cleaned, restored, and reinstated.
More extensive repairs were needed when some masonry, dating back almost 200 years, was found to be wrongly bedded.
The Gallery of Modern Art, is run by Glasgow Life, Glasgow City Council's arms-length body which overseas culture, arts and sports venues.
Depute council leader and chair of Glasgow Life, Councillor Archie Graham, said the work would ensure "generations to come have the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful building".
"The Gallery of Modern Art is a building firmly tied to the history of Glasgow itself," he said.
"We are delighted to reveal the restored clock tower and weather vane, in complete working order just in time for its 200th anniversary.
The building was originally constructed in 1778 as the townhouse of William Cunninghame of Lainshaw, one of Glasgow's wealthy tobacco lords.
It later became a bank in 1817 when it was enlarged to create the Royal Exchange.
It was this work which added the Corinthian pillars of the temple frontage to Queen Street and the Cupola and clock tower design.
The Royal Exchange was later purchased by Glasgow Corporation in November 1949 for £105,000.
David Millar, head of conservation at Austin-Smith:Lord architects, which led the project, said the restoration had been "a very interesting and challenging" experience.
"There is always a level of risk associated with removing paint from sandstone but it's an exciting activity as you don't know what you might find," he said.
"We discovered masonry wrongly bedded and sandstone heavily carbonated and although some individuals might like to see these dark deposits removed it's not good practice as you are potentially removing too much original historic and listed fabric.
"We have steam cleaned and removed loose material and carried out indent repairs and what we have represented follows good conservation practice. We think the final result is both beautiful and able to stand the test of time."
The restoration work was undertaken by City Building Group and CBC Stone, with financial support from Historic Environment Scotland.
Anne Hidalgo said that the exact location of the "humanitarian camp" would be revealed in the next few days after an inspection of possible sites.
Hundreds of migrants have been camping rough in the city.
Meanwhile, the death toll from migrant shipwrecks in the Mediterranean last week was revised upwards to 1,000.
International Organization for Migration (IOM) spokesman Flavio Di Giacomo gave the new figure which comes after an estimate on Sunday of 700 deaths by the UN refugee agency.
The new camp in Paris is expected to provide both day facilities and overnight accommodation.
"We are going to work extra hard on this," the Socialist mayor told reporters.
The current situation, she said, was no longer "tenable", citing a makeshift camp that had sprung up in the north of Paris in the past few days, which is now home to 800 people.
The new camp, she added, would be modelled on one created near the northern port of Calais to take in people from the unofficial "Jungle" encampment.
Calais and Dunkirk, which also has an official camp, are seen by undocumented migrants as gateways to the UK.
Few of those passing through the French capital en route to other countries say they plan to settle there, the BBC's Lucy Williamson reports from Paris.
Tweeting on Tuesday, the IOM spokesman noted that 2,400 migrants had lost their lives in sea crossings since January.
The number of arrivals, he said, were the same number as in January-May of last year but the death toll had risen by 34%.
Spring weather has led to a surge of people attempting the perilous crossing from Africa to Europe.
It is now a key route for undocumented migration since a deal curbed numbers making the much shorter crossing from Turkey to Greece.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.
In a speech later, Mr Smith will say NHS spending on the private sector has doubled from £4bn to £8.7bn since the Conservatives returned to government six years ago.
The Department of Health said his analysis was "simply wrong".
Mr Smith is campaigning to replace current Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
He will point out that the recently published Department of Health annual report showed that almost 8% of healthcare in England last year was bought from private sector providers - up from 4% in 2010.
Ahead of his speech on the campaign trail in Salford, Mr Smith said: "The NHS is our country's most valued institution - and people will be shocked to hear that the Tories have been putting together a secret plan to privatise it.
"We all rightly contribute to the NHS through our taxes - but we must make sure that money is spent on doctors and nurses, and not lining the pockets of private sector shareholders."
A spokeswoman for the Department of Health said: "This analysis is simply wrong - this government was the first to ensure that doctors, not politicians, make decisions about who provides care."
She added that the rate of growth in the use of the private sector was slower than when Labour was in power.
"We are committed to the values of the NHS and to delivering a safer seven day service. We are investing an extra £10 billion a year by 2020 so the NHS can introduce its own plan for the future," she said.
Chris Mason, BBC political correspondent, said in this keenly fought Labour leadership contest "being seen to be socialist is essential".
"Owen Smith will hope this speech, aimed at the left wing electorate of Labour members and supporters who will chose their party's leader, will help burnish his claim to be both radical and effective at holding the government to account," he said.
Last month Mr Smith's rival, Jeremy Corbyn, took a dig at his rival for comments he made about "choice" and private health providers when he worked as a lobbyist for drug company Pfizer in 2005. Mr Smith told the BBC he believed in a "100% publicly-owned NHS free at the point of use".
Meanwhile, Mr Corbyn has been focusing on education.
In an interview with The Observer he said he wanted a "National Education Service" based on the principles of the NHS meaning free education for all, "from cradle to grave".
The Labour party has been embroiled in bitter in-fighting since Mr Corbyn's leadership was challenged.
Rows escalated over whether the massive influx of new members that have signed up to the party in recent months should be allowed to vote in the election, leading to claims that hard-left activists were trying to infiltrate and sway the result.
Labour's National Executive Committee (NEC), the body that governs the party, ruled that full members could only vote if they had at least six months' continuous membership by 12 July.
The party offered a window from 18-20 July when more recent members - and non-members - could pay £25 to become "registered supporters" and gain the right to vote.
On Friday the Court of Appeal ruled Labour was within its rights to stop some 130,000 new members who did not meet this criteria from voting.
The exclusion of the new members is thought to benefit Mr Smith.
Mr Corbyn has made a dig at his rival's former job with Pfizer, who he was a lobbyist for in 2005,
The unit at Banbury's Horton General Hospital will be midwife-led, rather than consultant-led, from October.
But a joint statement from Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, Green and UKIP representatives said they had "major concerns".
The hospital trust said patient safety was behind its decision.
The joint statement said the politicians wanted to "show a unified front in support of the staff at our hospital" and described the "unity amongst politicians of the area" as "almost unprecedented".
It added: "Downgrading the unit to a midwife-only service, leading to women in labour having to travel to the [Oxford] John Radcliffe consultant-led unit an hour's drive away, will put the lives of both mothers and babies at risk.
"We believe the decision to downgrade the service at the Horton, even on a temporary basis, is wrong."
Former prime minister David Cameron, MP for nearby Witney, added his voice in support of campaigners on Thursday when he said the unit "won't be able to look after all mothers' needs".
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said it was trying to recruit doctors as soon as possible.
Bosses revealed in June they might have to downgrade services because there were not enough obstetricians to provide a "safe and effective service".
A petition with 17,000 signatures against the plan was delivered to a meeting on Wednesday when the suspension of services was approved.
Palmer died at the UPMC Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was undergoing heart tests, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
During a long career he won more than 90 tournaments worldwide, including seven majors.
The US Golf Association called him "golf's greatest ambassador".
As tributes flooded in from across the world of golf, Tiger Woods tweeted: "Thanks Arnold for your friendship, counsel and a lot of laughs. Your philanthropy and humility are part of your legend."
Palmer attracted thousands of diehard fans known as "Arnie's army" and helped to promote the game into the television age.
Reaction to golfing great's death
'The King' of golf who changed the game
Obituary: Arnold Palmer
The golfer was loved as an everyman superstar, and even had a drink named after him - the Arnold Palmer cocktail, made from one part iced tea and one part lemonade.
He also gave his name to a professional tournament - The Arnold Palmer Invitational, held each March at his private golf resort in Bay Hill, Florida.
Arnold Palmer was the most important golfer to play the game, says the BBC's golf correspondent Iain Carter.
"His force of charisma put the game on the map and it never dimmed", he added.
Fellow golfing great and a close friend of Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, said he would "miss him greatly".
"We just lost one of the incredible people in the game of golf and in all of sports," he tweeted.
"Arnold transcended the game of golf. He was more than a golfer or even great golfer. He was an icon. He was a legend."
"Remembering the special times I spent with Mr Palmer at Bay Hill. A true pioneer for our sport. Forever remembered," said Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, hours after winning the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
"My heart aches with passing of the King. What he did for golf cannot be measured. Athlete, pioneer, philanthropist, family man, and much more...RIP Arnie," tweeted US golfer Zach Johnson.
US President Barack Obama also paid tribute to "The King", tweeting a picture of him visiting the White House.
The R&A, which runs The Open and jointly governs golf worldwide, called Palmer a gentleman who would live long in people's memories.
Its chief executive Martin Slumbers said: "It is with great sadness that we have awoken to hear the news of Arnold Palmer's passing. He was a true gentleman, one of the greatest ever to play the game, and a truly iconic figure in sport.
"His contribution to The Open Championship was, and remains, immeasurable. He will be missed and forever remembered by all at The R&A and throughout the world of golf as a charismatic and global champion of our game."
Arnold Palmer was the first golf player to make $1m from playing the sport.
But he made much more than that from his many off-course endorsements, putting his name to a variety of products and services, from United Airlines to Cadillac cars.
Nowadays it is commonplace for sports stars to lend their names to commercial products.
But half a century ago such an association between sport and brands was ground-breaking.
Palmer, in association with marketer Mark McCormack, was the trailblazer in breaking this new ground.
With his winning persona and looks, not to mention golfing ability, Palmer showed that a sportsman or woman could make more from commercial deals than from prize money alone.
It is a legacy for which today's high earning stars, earning astronomical sums from their own deals, should be eternally grateful.
Palmer was born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, in 1929, the son of a groundskeeper at the local country club who later became the professional at the golf club there.
He was one of golf's most dominant players in the late 1950s and early 1960s, winning seven major titles over seven seasons.
He also notched up 62 PGA Tour wins.
In a 1960 cover story written during his heyday, Time magazine swooned over Palmer, whose fans would flock to tournaments in droves:
"Win or lose, Palmer, with his daring, slashing attack, is fun to watch. He is a splendidly built athlete (5ft 11in, 177 lbs) with strength in all the right places: massive shoulders and arms, a waist hardly big enough to hold his trousers up, thick wrists, and leather-hard, outsized hands that can crumple a beer can as though it were tissue paper.
"Like baseball buffs, golf fans dote on the long-ball hitter; they pack six deep behind the tee to gasp in admiration as Powerman Palmer unwinds to send a 280-yard drive down the fairway."
Palmer is survived by his wife Kathleen Kit Gawthrop, his daughters, stepchildren and a large extended family of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The Ibrox side lost 2-1 on aggregate to crash out in the first qualifier.
Their part-time opponents, who are ranked 440th by Uefa, secured their first win in European competition.
"We need to apologise to our fans because they gave us support and loyalty, they don't deserve this," Caixinha told Rangers TV.
"I assume all the responsibility."
Kenny Miller's winner in the first leg in Glasgow had put Rangers 1-0 ahead going into the match in Luxembourg.
And up until Tuesday night Progres, who finished fourth in Luxembourg's top flight last season [21 points behind champions F91 Dudelange], had not won any of their 13 games in Europe.
But it is the side who are only two places below Prestatyn Town of Wales in Uefa rankings - and from a town with a population of 3,000 - who progress to the second qualifying round.
Progres had chances before Emmanuel Francoise netted at the near post in the second half, scoring his side's second ever goal in European competition.
The second came from a Sebastian Thill free-kick that evaded everyone in the box and curled in at the far post.
At 0-0, Rangers had hit the bar through Niko Kranjcar's header and at 2-0 Josh Windass and Kenny Miller also saw efforts come back off the bar.
The defeat goes down as one of the worst results in the club's history.
"We could not do what we were here to do - win the game," Caixinha added. "It's something that happens once in a lifetime - it happens to us today.
"For the second goal we knew we could not commit unnecessary fouls and we did, but as I said, I assume all the responsibility and the disappointment."
The Portuguese manager, who has overseen a significant summer rebuild added: "I'm always a positive guy, I never give up. It's a strong moment that we are living and we need to face it, we need all our character, personality and strength.
"I believe in this process, I believe in the players and the work we are going to do.
"It's a strong lesson that we need to learn from now on, and we need to focus on the positives regarding the future. We need to keep working harder and looking forward."
For Progres, this was the greatest result in their history.
Head coach Paolo Amodio told BBC Scotland: "It's a great event, amazing. I cannot believe that we won 2-0 against Rangers. It's not possible.
"We made history and I can't believe it. It's incredible."
The German exchange is concerned that the threshold could be hard to reach without its index fund shareholders.
They hold up to 15% of its shares but will not be able to accept the offer until the minimum level of acceptances has already been reached.
The merger has already been backed overwhelmingly by LSE shareholders.
If it goes through, the tie-up will create the world's biggest exchange by revenue, forecast to be €4.7bn ($5.19bn) this year.
A statement from Deutsche Boerse said the parties involved were looking at the potential for lowering the minimum acceptance threshold "with a view to enabling index funds to participate in the offer".
It will make a final decision on lowering the threshold on Monday.
German shareholders are due to vote on the merger on Tuesday.
The merger still needs approval from European Union authorities. It has already been passed by the US and Russia.
The two stock exchanges agreed a $27bn (£20bn) merger earlier this year, but the Brexit vote has raised questions about how it should be implemented.
The LSE said the deal would still deliver value to shareholders.
Radyr was playing Marylebone Cricket Club when officers ran across the pitch and into a neighbouring field, leaving players and spectators watching on.
It ended soon after when officers re-appeared with five arrested youths.
It is alleged a stolen BMW was involved in the incident and had earlier driven through nearby Hailey Park in Llandaff North.
Jo Morgan, the scorer at Radyr Cricket Club, said they had heard the helicopter for a while before they saw a police car heading towards the pitch.
"The police got out and ran across the field," she said.
"They went into the neighbouring fields and within 10 minutes they were all walking back through with five youths."
South Wales Police has been asked to comment on the incident.
Prince William called it a "vicious form of criminality" that "erodes the rule of law, fuels conflict and may even fund terrorism".
The prince made the speech after visiting an elephant sanctuary in the south western province of Yunnan.
He has worked to raise awareness of illegal trading among the Chinese, who are huge consumers of ivory.
The prince who is president of the organisation United for Wildlife said: "The greatest threat to elephants worldwide today is not local farmers protecting their livelihoods, it is ruthless and organised poaching and trafficking."
He talked about how the world seemed to be "hurtling towards" elephants becoming extinct in the wild which he said would be "an immeasurable loss to humanity".
By BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt, in China
The irony will not have been lost on Prince William.
In Wild Elephant Valley, close to the Burmese border, the prince met Ran Ran and learned about the initiatives being undertaken here to protect Asian elephants.
This conservation work is taking place at the same time as elephants are being slaughtered in Africa to satisfy the growing Chinese market in ivory.
William can't singlehandedly stop that demand. In a speech he chose not to criticise but to encourage and focus on the work being done in China, work which conservation critics say isn't enough.
In the past, the British royals hunted such creatures. Now Prince William, who enjoys shooting, is working to eradicate the illegal wildlife trade.
In three days in China, William has drawn attention to the plight of elephants less fortunate than Ran Ran; he's focused on trade; and he's improved the relationship between the Windsors and the Chinese leadership.

The man protecting China's elephants
Prince William commended China's contribution to the protection of wildlife in Africa but said there was more work to be done, calling for increased international efforts to prevent criminals from smuggling wildlife via legitimate trade networks and reducing demand for the products.
On Thursday China imposed a one-year ban on ivory carving imports but environmental groups said a domestic trading ban was also needed.
The prince said he had discussed the issues with China's president Xi Jinping during talks in Beijing.
During the visit the prince helped to feed Ran Ran, a 13-year-old rescued female Asian elephant, who was discovered in a jungle river in 2005 with a leg wound caused by a trap.
The prince also met villagers in Xishuangbanna prefecture to hear how they were adapting to living in close proximity to wild elephants.

Hourly output fell 0.5% in the first three months of the year, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
At the end of 2016, productivity returned to the level seen before the downturn, overturning years of decline which has weighed on wages.
But it has now slipped back again and is 0.4% below the peak recorded at the end of 2007, according to the ONS.
Economists have warned that the UK's productivity continues to lag behind its major trading partners such as the US, France and Germany.
ONS head of productivity Philip Wales said: "UK labour productivity growth has struggled since the 2008 economic downturn, and the fall in the first quarter of 2017 brings to an end a recent run of quarters of positive growth."
It was the first quarterly fall in productivity since the end of 2015, according to the ONS.
Today's productivity figures are bad to the point of shocking.
A fall of 0.5% in the first three months of the year takes the UK economy's ability to create wealth back below the level of 2007.
If an economy cannot create wealth efficiently, then the debates about government spending, public sector pay and austerity become all the harder.
If an economy cannot create wealth, then tax receipts - the mainstay of government income - weaken.

The UK has seen a steady economic recovery since the financial crisis, but it has been helped by longer hours and more people working.
Productivity has failed to grow consistently, raising concerns for businesses and policymakers.
Mike Cherry, president of the Federation for Small Businesses, said: "Productivity is being stifled by chronic underinvestment, exacerbated by current unprecedented uncertainty and reflected in sluggish wage growth."
The figures should also act as a "very sharp reminder" that Brexit is not the only challenge facing the UK, according to Ian Brinkley, acting chief economist at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
He said: "Unless more is done to tackle the nation's low productivity, people's wages and living standards will continue to fall and the UK will be ill-equipped to compete once we do leave the EU."
However, other economists said productivity - which is output divided by hours spent producing it - has partly fallen because there are record numbers of people in work.
"We shouldn't forget that the decline in productivity is the flipside of what we could call the remarkable success of the UK labour market," Dr Thijs van Rens, professor of economics at Warwick University, told the BBC.
The ONS said its figures also indicated "striking" differences between the City of London and other parts of the UK.
In 2015, output per hour worked in London's financial and insurance industries was about seven times higher than in the lowest productivity regional industries, it said. | The productivity of UK workers has dropped back to pre-financial crisis levels, according to official figures. | 40,504,734 | 603 | 24 | false |
Cameraman Lindsay McCrae shot the film of the bird of prey hunting near Inverness.
It was shown in episode one of Highlands: Scotland's Wild Heart, narrated by Ewan McGregor, and uploaded to the BBC Scotland Facebook page.
The footage was filmed for slow motion playback, at 800 frames per second.
Mr McCrae said filming the osprey took patience.
He said: "You have to be well hidden, because the ospreys won't tolerate you being there.
"They want to know they are safe to land in water.
"But it meant I couldn't have an overhead view to check out the sky and had no idea if there was an osprey overhead. I had an assistant out on a hill watching through binoculars who was on the radio saying: 'There's one in the air. Get ready.'"
He added: "You really don't know where the bird is going to hit the water because you can't see the fish.
"You just have to frame an image on a bit of water and hope the osprey hits that particular bit."
Sheffield City Council contractors began cutting down eight trees in Rustlings Road at about 05:00 GMT as part of a street improvement scheme.
Residents had demanded the trees remain. Three people arrested after confrontations with workers were released without charge.
Sheffield Hallam MP Nick Clegg said he was outraged by the council's action.
For more on this story and others in South Yorkshire
Mr Clegg, the Liberal Democrat MP for the area, said the council had acted as if it were running an anti-terrorist operation.
"I do not know what planet these people are on," he said.
"Arresting elderly residents? Arresting them when they are just trying to say 'don't chop this tree down'?"
Jenny Hockey, a retired sociology lecturer, was one of those arrested.
"What can you do in that situation except exercise your right to peaceful protest and that's what we chose to do," the 70-year-old said.
"They warned us they would arrest us if we did not move, which is what they did."
Mrs Hockey was arrested alongside her friend Freda Brayshaw.
The retired teacher, 71, said: "It was just like an assault with arc lights, lots of policemen and chainsaws going up and down the road and we had no chance to do anything.
"They had a kind of barrier, a tape around trees they intended to fell and I stepped inside and stood under a tree."
The council said the work needed to be done as part of a £2bn scheme to improve streets and get rid of diseased, damaging or dangerous trees.
Residents said the trees were healthy and should remain.
Councillor Bryan Lodge said the work was "essential to ensure Sheffield has healthy trees for future generations".
He said: "We have made a final decision to increase the number of trees on Rustlings Road by almost 30%.
"We need to replace eight out of the 30 existing trees, but we will plant 17."
He said the work was carried out early in the morning on the advice of the police to ensure it was done safely.
South Yorkshire Police confirmed that 12 officers "provided assistance at the request of the council".
In April a High Court judge dismissed a bid for a judicial review into the tree-felling programme.
Sheffield City Council has felled more than 3,300 trees since 2012.
All its customers have automatically been moved to Power NI. Open launched in August 2015 and had about 1,100 domestic customers.
Customers who pay by direct debit, or pay when they receive a bill, do not need to do anything further at present.
However, they will need to contact Power NI to set-up payment options as bank details have not been passed on.
Customers who have a pay as you go meter will need to contact Power NI to receive a new keypad number in order to top-up their meter, but their supply will not be affected.
Jenny Pyper, chief executive of the Utility Regulator, said: "Open Electric is a small firm. We have seen a number of new suppliers come into the market over the last 18 months and that's good, we want a healthy competitive market
"But they came into the market whenever wholesale international gas prices were low, we've seen increases in those gas prices over recent weeks.
"The regulator has been monitoring all suppliers and monitoring prices and I think this small supplier has just found it difficult as prices have gone up to maintain its position in the market."
John French, chief executive of the Consumer Council, said the announcement was unwelcome news for Open Electric and its customers.
"However, we would like to advise Open Electric customers that there will be no interruption to their electricity supply, as they will already have been automatically transferred to Power NI," he said.
"Power NI will be emailing Open Electric customers today informing them of the situation and what they need to do.
"The Utility Regulator has also produced a useful Questions and Answer factsheet, which is available on their website."
Kent slumped to 135-7, with Matthew Quinn (3-50) and Ashar Zaidi (3-33) doing the damage, but Matt Cole's (91) 140-run stand with James Tredwell (47) saw them end on a respectable 285-8.
Jesse Ryder (50) and Nick Browne (49) then gave Essex an early platform.
Bopara, who made 33 runs across three previous 2016 List A games, hit 74 not out for victory with five balls left.
Essex one-day captain Bopara's 103-run partnership with Ryan ten Doeschate (45) was the crux of his team's innings, but Kent had chances to send both back to the pavilion earlier in their respective knocks.
Ten Doeschate should have been stumped on just two and, just after Bopara had reached his half-century, Kent wicketkeeper Sam Billings failed to hold on to a difficult chance off the former England man.
The third One-Day Cup victory of the season lifts Essex above Glamorgan after four games, while Kent lie in fourth.
A council report said the tunnels created a "noisy unattractive barrier to intra-centre movement".
It said the network had coped better than anticipated when they were out of commission for six weeks in the summer.
Underground car parks and more cycle routes also feature in the Birmingham Mobility Action Plan (BMAP).
Calling for a debate on the long-term future of the tunnels, the report said: "There is no doubt the A38 provides a fast route across the centre for all traffic but it also severs the centre creating a very noisy unattractive barrier to intra-centre movement."
The BMAP report, which was produced by WSP Group for Birmingham City Council, said multi-storey car parks are unsightly and said one solution would be to replace them with underground car parks as in Paris and Lyon with parks and open spaces on top.
WSP associate director Simon Statham, citing the example of the Snow Hill car park, said the council could "sell that land to developers and get more money back than it would in car park revenue".
The report proposed investment in walking and cycling provision, including more than 350km (217 miles) of new or upgraded cycle routes.
By 2031 Birmingham's population is projected to grow by an additional 150,000 people, the report said. It said this could lead to 80,000 more cars in the city.
Birmingham City Council leader Sir Albert Bore, who launched the plan at Birmingham Town Hall on Thursday, said the tunnels would not close.
"It's not about closing them, it's about redesignating their use," he said.
"At the moment they are used as a through route. The question is 'should that be their long-term use'?
"You often get people weaving off at Great Charles Street and that often leads to an accident. We want to stop that weaving."
But one Birmingham resident, Darren Sunderland, 44, said he could not envisage the city without its tunnels.
"Birmingham is set up to have those tunnels," he said. "You are not going to change that. Underground car parks? It would never happen.
"The whole exercise sounds like a waste of money."
For Andy Hickman, a 54-year-old chef from Haig Street in West Bromwich, the action plan is a recognition that planners "need to do something".
But he said: "I'm not sure if Birmingham could cope without those tunnels.
"We survived over the summer when schools were closed but what about at peak times of the year?"
Stuart Gallear, 51, admits fatally stabbing his wife Mandy, 42, at their home in Hindley, Wigan in October 2016.
He said he had no intention to kill her and punish her lover, joiner Mark Prescott.
"Why would I plan to murder the mother of my children and leave them without a mother?" he told the jury at Manchester Crown Court.
His barrister, Simon Csoka QC, asked him: "On October 6 what was it that was bothering you the most?"
Mr Gallear replied: "Probably the fact my marriage was breaking up and I was losing the woman I loved for 20 years."
Mr Csoka asked: "Do you think about what happened?"
Mr Gallear responded: "I end up crying my eyes out. It's a never-ending nightmare."
During cross-examination Mr Gallear said he did not know why he picked up a knife from an open cutlery drawer in the couple's kitchen.
"There was no intent, I don't recall picking it up... I loved her to bits," he said.
Mr Gallear, who is originally from Wolverhampton, said his wife first told him in April 2016 of an extra-marital relationship, but told him she would end it.
He thought the marriage was "going a lot better" until 5 October 2016 when the son of Mr Prescott's partner told him about Mrs Gallear's affair, jurors heard.
The trial continues.

The party said it has signed up 12,500 new members since last week - and is expected to reach its highest total in its history "within days".
Leader Tim Farron said Lib Dems are the only party opposing Mrs May's "hard Brexit agenda".
He insisted the party would not enter a coalition with the Tories or Labour.
The biggest membership number the Lib Dems have had since their formation was 101,768 members in 1994.
The recent flurry of interest means more than 50,000 members have joined since last year's European referendum - and more than 67,500 since the party's electoral low point, at the 2015 general election.
Mr Farron, who pledged to build the membership to 100,000 when he became leader in 2015, said reaching the goal "tells us that there's an appetite for change in British politics and Liberal Democrats are the vehicle for that change".
He said: "People want a strong opposition to Theresa May's hard Brexit agenda and the Liberal Democrats are the only party challenging them up and down the country."
In an appeal to would-be supporters, he said: "This election is your chance to change the direction of our country. If you want to stop a disastrous hard Brexit, if you want to keep Britain in the single market, if you want a strong opposition to fight for an open, tolerant and united Britain - this is your chance."
The Lib Dem leader also repeated his insistence that there are "no circumstances whatsoever" that the party will go in to a coalition with the Conservatives or Labour after the 8 June election, given the current approaches of those two parties.
He also dismissed an informal arrangement to offer his party's support on budget measures and other key votes to help a minority Tory or Labour administration.
On Sunday he told ITV's Peston on Sunday: "What Britain needs in this election is clarity and a contest. Theresa May has called this election because she believes it'll be a coronation.
"The Liberal Democrats are determined to make it a contest with a clear alternative position, and I don't want people thinking a vote for the Liberal Democrats is a proxy for anything else."

"The environment would be entirely suitable for them to come out," Scudamore told BBC Newsnight.
There have been no openly gay male footballers in England since former Norwich striker Justin Fashanu in 1990.
The Daily Mirror has reported that two top-flight players are set to come out with support from their clubs.
"It would be welcomed and I think there would be a tolerance to it. I think the time would be right to do that," Scudamore added.

Former England women's captain Casey Stoney was the first active footballer to come out in England since Fashanu in February 2014.
Former Aston Villa midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger publicly revealed his homosexuality in 2014, after his retirement, and Scudamore is "absolutely sure" there are gay players in England's top flight.
"It would be very strange if there wasn't," the Premier League chief executive said.
In other sports, high-profile athletes have openly spoken about their sexuality, with Olympic diver Tom Daley revealing in December 2013 he was in a relationship with a man.
British race walker Tom Bosworth became the first Team GB athlete to come out as gay, while former British and Irish Lions captain Gareth Thomas, who played rugby for Wales in both codes, and rugby league player Keegan Hirst have also come out.

Examples in football are less common. In 1990, former England Under-21 international Fashanu was the first professional footballer in Britain to come out as gay. He retired from football in 1997 and took his own life a year later, aged 37.
Swedish footballer Anton Hysen, son of former Liverpool defender Glenn Hysen, announced his sexuality in an interview with a Swedish football magazine in 2011.
In February 2013, former United States and Leeds United winger Robbie Rogers said he was gay in a post on his website.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said last year a gay Premier League footballer may never be able to reveal his sexuality during his playing career because of the intense scrutiny he would be under.
And retired basketball star John Amaechi, the first NBA player to come out, has called football "toxic" for gay people and minorities.
Speaking to the Sun newspaper, the rapper says the Luther and Thor star would be perfect for the role.
"I know Idris a little bit and he is a big talent," he said.
"James Bond is a role made for British actors and you won't find a British actor who has the talent of Idris. To be honest you won't find many anywhere who have his talent."
A rumour that Idris Elba may take over from Daniel Craig, who is definitely involved in one more Bond movie, started after the leak of an email from the Sony Pictures Entertainment hack.
It's reported that a message from chairman Amy Pascal to former executive vice-president of Bond distributor Columbia read: "Idris should be the next Bond."
Kanye West said he agrees with that and that it's time for a black Bond.
"Artists should be visionaries," he said. "A black James Bond would be visionary no doubt.
"Something that 30 years ago would have seemed crazy should now be something that is a real possibility."
Idris Elba had his say last week, although the 42-year-old has previously said he would like to play the character.
"Isn't 007 supposed to [be] handsome?" he tweeted. "Glad you think I've got a shot! Happy New year people."
During a Reddit AMA in September he responded to a fan's question of whether he'd be willing to take the role, writing: "Yes, if it was offered to me, absolutely."
He also told NPR in 2011 that he'd definitely consider the role but doesn't want to be typecast.
"I just don't want to be the black James Bond," he said.
"Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond, and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond, so if I played him, I don't want to be called the black James Bond."
Daniel Craig started filming the latest Bond movie, Spectre, before Christmas.

The gunmen who stormed Njaba targeted men and boys before setting the village on fire, survivors added.
The raid happened early on Tuesday but was not reported immediately because of the remoteness of the area.
Boko Haram has killed thousands of people in its drive to establish an Islamic state.
Many survivors of the attack on Njaba fled to the nearby town of Damboa.
A resident of the town told the BBC the dead had been left to decompose because the villagers feared returning to Njaba.
The total number of dead remains unclear, with some reports suggesting the figure may be as high as 100.
Information often travels slowly from regions where Boko Haram is active, partly because the militants have damaged communications infrastructure.
Njaba is about 100km (62 miles) south of the state capital, Maiduguri. There were no security forces in the village at the time of the attack.
Many villagers were attending morning prayers when the attack happened, a witness quoted by news website Sahara Reporters said.
Fatima Abaka said there was "pandemonium" when the shooting started.
"I ran into the bush. Since then I [have] never seen my husband and three children," she said. "[I] came back to our village in the afternoon, dead bodies were scattered everywhere."
Another witness, Aminatu Mommodu, said the bodies of victims, including many men with their throats slit, were in the mosque.
Other villagers caught by the gunmen outside the mosque had been shot, she said.
Ibrahim Wagu, a Maiduguri resident who comes from Njaba, told Reuters news agency that two of his relatives had been killed.
"My older brother and my sister's first son were killed," he said.
Boko Haram controls large areas of Borno state but in recent months has also carried out cross-border raids into Chad, Cameroon and Niger.
The three countries have joined Nigeria to form a military coalition, which has recaptured several towns and villages in recent weeks.
Chadian forces have recently helped the Nigerian army recapture several towns and villages from Boko Haram.
As media access to the site has widened, more neighbours have divulged details about their interactions with the mysterious inhabitants of the fortified "mansion" in their midst.
Although the walled compound edged with barbed wire was set back in relative isolation, it was surrounded by three neighbourhoods: Thanda Choha, Bilal Town and Hashmi Colony. The residents of these areas provide sometimes contradictory accounts of their now infamous neighbours.
But one notable absence from all accounts is any mention of a tall, bearded foreigner resident in the compound.
People appear to have had absolutely no inkling that Osama Bin Laden, the world's most wanted man, was living just yards from them. And according to Pakistan's military, his Yemeni-born wife claims that she never left the compound in five years - and that he had also lived there for that duration.
The inhabitants of the compound certainly lived an isolated existence and had very little contact with their neighbours, residents in the area told the BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Abbottabad.
The two brothers have been identified in numerous media reports as Arshad and Tariq Khan - although Associated Press reporter Nahal Toosi points out that there are conflicting local reports about their identity.
Some reports, such as the Guardian account, identifies one of them as the Bin Laden courier who the CIA was tracking, but BBC Urdu analyst Rahimullah Yusufzai says this information cannot be verified.
Plans of Bin Laden's house
Other neighbours in the Hashmi Colony area told BBC Urdu's Aijaz Mahar that the brothers posed as landlords from the fertile Charsadda area of north-western Pakistan who had moved to Abbottabad because of its pleasant climate.
One thing is clear: their desire for privacy was so marked that most people left them well alone. They did not mix with others and were rarely, if ever, seen at local wedding celebrations or other community occasions.
A reporter from the Indian channel ETV Uttar Pradesh even reported that one neighbour said that when local children hit a cricket ball into the compound, they were not allowed to retrieve it.
Rumours circulated about the men. Local driver Qazi Faisal told BBC Urdu's Aijaz Mahar that people thought these brothers were smugglers. Another witness told him that after the raid he could see soldiers removing what he thought were weapons, gold and cash from the house.
"They just said 'hello' and 'good evening.' If I said Salaam Alaikum, [traditional Muslim greeting meaning peace to you], they would reply properly," their closest neighbour, 20-year-old Qasim, told BBC Urdu's Nukhbat Malik.
He said they were always courteous but all seven members of his family agreed that they never once initiated conversation. Although reports concur that they behaved appropriately and were polite, they also exuded a sense of menace, other neighbours say.
"He used to come and buy household things... I never felt like asking him anything," shopkeeper Faisal told BBC Urdu about Arshad Khan.
"They absolutely did not interact. We saw them roaming around but they were not approachable," he said.
US officials said their long-term observation of the compound revealed that the inhabitants burned their rubbish inside the walls, rather than leaving it outside to be collected. They also revealed that there were no phone or internet lines into the house.
Every now and then, what looked like bullet-proof vehicles would go in and out of the compound, but security gates would slide shut immediately afterwards, locals told the BBC.
But there was also testimony describing moments of unexpected generosity.
One boy, 12-year-old Zarar Ahmed, told the BBC he used to visit the compound a lot, saying the family had three children - a girl and two boys.
"They gave us two rabbits. They had cameras outside, so that they could watch who was coming," he said.
He also said that the owner had two wives - one who spoke Urdu and one who spoke Arabic. Staff at the hospital where the injured were taken also told local journalists that the wounded from the compound spoke Pashto and Arabic.
A different account comes from al-Arabiya, which quotes Qari Mastana Khan of Bilal Town who says of the compound's inhabitants: "They were kind-hearted and would provide clean drinking water and food to poor neighbours. During the holy month of Ramadan, they invited us for iftar dinner [the breaking of the fast] at their house and served us delicious food."
The Pakistani military says they recovered 13 children from the compound - 11 boys and two girls - but it is not clear how many of these are Bin Laden's or if they attended school. Some neighbours told the BBC they thought the children were schooled at home.
The women in the home were never seen: most people assumed that this was because they were Pashtun, and they tend to observe strict purdah.
A newspaper hawker told the BBC that he had delivered newspapers to the compound every day, and at the end of each month his bill was promptly paid, always by the same man.
He never stepped inside the compound but said he had seen a red pick-up vehicle drive through the gates with a goat inside.
Shopkeeper Mohammed Rashid told BBC Urdu's Aijaz Mahar that two goats were delivered every week, presumably for slaughter and consumption. He also said that 10 litres of milk a day was left for the compound, adding that there were lots of children there.
"They used to come to the shops and buy sweets and toffees, but not the female children. We have never seen the women from the house."
The residents of the compound clearly employed a number of domestic helpers. Abbottabad hospital staff have told the BBC Urdu service that among those being treated in the wake of the raid are two women believed to be maids employed by the family.
After the compound was opened up to the media on Tuesday, Associated Press correspondent Nahal Toosi was tweeting her observations.
"I am in a bldg across from cpd. Looks like servants quarters. Piles of clothes, pillows on floor. Broken clock on ground. Stopped at 2:20," she reported. She also noted a mouldy lentil stew in a pot, half-eaten bread and an old television set.
Other observations abound:
The spacious and prosperous homes in these areas are known as "havelis" and, according to local journalists speaking to the BBC, the Bin Laden home was known as "Waziristan Haveli" or "mansion" - named after the semi-autonomous tribal area where many until now assumed the al-Qaeda leader was sheltering.
Satellite images between 2005 and 2011 reflect the change in the area and also show how the compound itself has expanded as more outbuildings, walls and privacy features have been built.
Notices on Pakistani property websites advise that land in the Hashmi Colony area, very close to the Bin Laden compound, is available. The area is seen as secure and stable.
About a kilometre north is Pakistan's prestigious Kakul Military Academy. And property is available here too. According to the seller, "it's a very secuir [sic] place near army farm house army jeeps takes 100 rounds in a day so very safe place to live".
There are few images of the interior. US officials released one picture of a bedroom on the second floor, showing a double bed strewn with pillows and cushions. The floors are blood-stained: this is said to be the room in which Bin Laden was killed.
The free-market think tank said it would award its Brexit Prize to whoever came up with the best blueprint for the UK after the EU, covering the country's withdrawal and post-exit repositioning.
The winning entry will be awarded 100,000 euros (£86,525).
The IEA said it was time to look at how the UK might fare without the EU.
It said: "We need to give serious consideration to how the UK could have a free and prosperous economy outside the EU, given that exit is a serious possibility after the next election."
Entrants, who can be individuals or corporate bodies, are invited to submit a 2,000-word outline proposal by 16 September. The authors of about 20 of those entries will be given four months to produce a more detailed version.
The nine judges include former Chancellor of the Exchequer Lord Lawson, who wrote a newspaper article in May calling for the UK to leave the EU.
Another judge is economist Roger Bootle, founder of Capital Economics, who won last year's £250,000 Wolfson Economics prize awarded for the best plan for dealing with member states leaving the eurozone.
Lord Lawson said he welcomed the IEA's initiative, adding: "Now that we have been promised an in-out referendum on Britain and the EU in 2017, it is essential that this momentous decision is preceded by a well-informed debate. The winning entries in this competition will be an important contribution to that process."
A poster featuring a kilted man in front of an image of Glen Coe is being displayed on 50 large digital screens in the US city.
The VisitScotland poster reads: "Visit Scotland. The land that inspired Outlander".
It also urges New Yorkers to "Give in to your kilty pleasures".
Based on a series of novels from American author Diana Gabaldon, the TV series follows the story of Claire Randell, a nurse from 1946 who is swept back in time to 1743.
It was filmed at various locations across Scotland, including Doune Castle near Stirling.
The promotion drive will also see VisitScotland members march along New York's 6th Avenue with an Outlander-themed banner during the Tartan Day Parade on Saturday.
The parade will include 300 Outlander fans and will be led by Graham McTavish, who plays Dougal Mackenzie in the show.
VisitScotland has also teamed up with Showcase, the Canadian channel broadcasting Outlander, to offer viewers a holiday for two in Scotland.
The advert for the competition is being broadcast during the first and second episodes of the series this month, with shots of Scotland appearing alongside clips from the show.
VisitScotland chairman Mike Cantlay said: "Outlander has captured the imagination of people across the globe, particularly in North America, and it is vital that we make the most of this fantastic opportunity.
"Our intensive marketing activity during Scotland Week, and beyond, will encourage more and more people to come to Scotland - the land that inspired Outlander."
He was handed over to the US police in Zurich and then flown to New York.
Mr Li is one of seven officials with Fifa, world football's governing body, who were arrested in Zurich in May, amid a huge corruption investigation.
Separately, Switzerland will extradite former Fifa Vice-President Eugenio Figueredo to his native Uruguay.
In other developments:
Mr Li, a Costa Rican of Chinese origin, was extradited on a US arrest request, the Swiss authorities say.
He has been charged with conspiracy to racketeer, wire fraud conspiracy, wire fraud, conspiracy to launder money and money laundering.
He was elected to Fifa's executive committee - but was arrested two days before he was due to take up the post.
Mr Li was voted Personality of the Year 2014 in Costa Rica after the national football team stunned its rivals by reaching the quarter-finals in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The Swiss justice ministry says Mr Figueredo - who is also a former vice-president of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) - was also detained in Zurich in May on a US arrest request.
Mr Figueredo has been indicted in the US on charges of receiving bribes worth millions of dollars relating to the Copa America tournament.
He is also accused of fraudulently obtaining US citizenship.
Switzerland says Mr Figueredo appealed against its September decision to transfer him to the US but later agreed to be extradited to Uruguay, where he is charged with abuse of office.
Until now, only one arrested official - former Fifa Vice-President Jeffrey Webb, from the Cayman Islands - has agreed to be moved from Switzerland.
At a hearing in June, Mr Webb pleaded not guilty to accepting bribes worth millions of dollars in connection with the sale of marketing rights.
He was placed under house arrest on $10m (£6.4m) bail by a New York judge.

While reaffirming its current debt rating, the agency warned that reforms were needed to avoid a downgrade.
Moody's said the change in outlook was based on expectations that Beijing's fiscal strength would continue to decline.
The negative outlook comes on the heels of fresh data suggesting China's economy is continuing to lose steam.
Moody's said it was concerned over China's incomplete implementation of much needed reforms.
"Without credible and efficient reforms, China's GDP growth would slow more markedly as a high debt burden dampens business investment and demographics turn increasingly unfavourable," Moody's said in a note.
"Government debt would increase more sharply than we currently expect."
But the ratings agency did confirm China's current Aa3 rating, saying that there was still time to address the current economic imbalances and implement reforms.
Just one week ago, China sought to assure the global economic community over the strength of its economy.
At the G20 meeting in Shanghai, the country's finance minister Lou Jiwei insisted Beijing could tackle the pressures it is currently facing.
China's economy, the second-biggest in the world, is growing at the slowest rate in 25 years as it attempts to move from an export-led nation to one led by consumption and services.
The slowdown in China's economy has created considerable uncertainty in financial markets and has led to sharp falls in commodity prices.
Speaking in Ottawa on Monday, he said air strikes alone did not secure lasting stability for local people.
Mr Trudeau, who was elected in October, promised to withdraw six fighter jets from the region during his campaign.
But Canada will keep two surveillance planes in the region, he said.
It will also keep refuelling aircraft in the area and will increase the number of Canadian soldiers training local troops who are fighting Islamic State (IS).
"It is important to understand that while air strike operations can be very useful to achieve short-term military and territorial gains, they do not on their own achieve long-term stability for local communities," Mr Trudeau said.
"Canadians learned this lesson first hand during a very difficult decade in Afghanistan where our forces became expert military trainers, renowned around the world."
He said Canadian armed forces would instead allocate more military resources to training Iraqi security forces so that "a murderous gang of thugs who are terrorising some of the most vulnerable people on Earth" could be defeated.
How is Canada's new leader doing?
Mr Trudeau's move has been criticised by the opposition, whose leader Rona Ambrose in parliament accused the government of "stepping back from the fight against IS when our allies are stepping up".
"The reality is that when we talk about Canada's new approach to fighting IS... Canada is backing away," she said.
But Mr Trudeau is adamant that his announcement on Monday makes sound strategic sense.
"Call us old-fashioned, but we think that we ought to avoid doing precisely what our enemies want us to do. They want us to elevate them, to give in to fear, to indulge in hatred, to eye one another with suspicion and to take leave of our faculties," he said.
Many Canadians have lost enthusiasm for overseas military missions after a decade of involvement in Afghanistan that ended in 2011, correspondents say. More than 150 Canadian soldiers were killed over that period.
In a new report, they say that business must act on pay and diversity to address a "worrying lack of trust" among the public.
The Commons Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee wants workers to have a say on pay.
Committee chairman Iain Wright said recent scandals have exposed flaws.
The report says faith in corporate governance has been shaken in the wake of scandals such as Sir Philip Green and the BHS pension fund.
The MPs want tough new measures to bring boardrooms back into line. Mr Wright said: "Executive pay has been ratcheted up so high that it is impossible to see a credible link between remuneration and performance.
"Pay must be reformed and simplified to incentivise decision-making for the long term success of the business and to pursue wider company objectives than share value."
The committee has called for businesses to simplify the structure of executive pay and put an end to long-term incentive plans.
Their recommendations include workers on the remuneration committees that decide executive pay, and for the chairs of these committees to be expected to resign if shareholders reject their proposed pay policy.
The committee has also backed publishing pay ratios annually. Other recommendations include a target that at least half of all new appointments to senior management positions in the FTSE 350 and listed companies should be women, as well as a new voluntary code of governance for private companies.
A spokesman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said: "As this report sets out, the UK is already a world-leader in corporate governance, which makes this country an attractive destination to invest and do business.
"The corporate governance green paper published last year seeks to build on that reputation and consulted on options to further strengthen corporate governance."
He said the department would consider responses to the MPs' report "respond in due course".
Grayson took over a Black Cats side just relegated from the Premier League, and Jordan Pickford and Jermain Defoe are among those to have since left.
In turn, Grayson has added Everton loanees Tyias Browning and Brendan Galloway, with more arrivals planned.
"We're moving forward with quite a few new faces," Grayson told BBC Newcastle.
"Over the next few days hopefully we'll get close to doing a couple of deals.
"I don't really comment on individuals as you'll get used to, but we'll be moving forward with a couple and hopefully a few more will come along after too."
One area in which Sunderland are keen to strengthen is attack, where Defoe's move to Bournemouth, the exit of Fabio Borini to AC Milan and the release of Victor Anichebe has left Grayson short of options.
However, Netherlands winger Jermaine Lens has returned from his season-long loan to feature in pre-season, and potential departures such as Whabi Khazri and Lamine Kone are also involved despite speculation surrounding their futures.
"It's very much wait and see in some positions, but while players are here we'll utilise them," Grayson added.
"Every player at every football club will have a price on his head and if clubs want to come in and the player wants to leave as well it's an opportunity.
"We're bringing people in because we need to, with a shortage of numbers particularly at the top end of the pitch.
"We've brought Brendan [Galloway] and Tyias [Browning] in defensively, so we're moving along in the right areas.
"From now until the transfer window closes, anything can happen."
The mummy is already a favourite at Maidstone Museum, but scientists plan to use a grant to reconstruct her face and discover more about her background.
Ta-Kush is believed to be a 14-year-old girl who died about 2,700 years ago.
But museum staff say the results of a CT scan on the mummy and coffin could even rewrite history.
They plan to use the £78,700 grant to bring together the museum's Egyptian and Greek collections in a new ancient civilisations gallery.
But the centrepiece will be Ta-Kush, who until recently was thought to be called Ta-Kesh.
Samantha Harris, the museum's collections manager, said studies by an Egyptologist in Cairo had revealed the girl's true name.
"For over 150 years we've been calling her Ta-Kesh. But she's reinterpreted her name as Ta-Kush, which means the Kushite lady," she said.
The mummy, which has been at the museum since the 1850s, will be scanned by experts at Kent Institute of Medicine and Surgery (Kims) and the results analysed by their counterparts at Liverpool John Moore's University, who will digitally reconstruct the face, head and shoulders.
Lyn Palmer, who is managing the project, said: "It is going to personalise Ta-Kush. It will mean that our visitors will be able to see what she looks like."
The scientific analysis should also help establish for sure the body's age and even confirm its sex.
Ms Palmer added: "We think she's a 14-year-old girl, but she may turn out not to be. Previous scans of females have turned out to be male."
Work already being undertaken has helped narrow down where she originated to the area around Thebes, details about her parents and her name, gleaned from hieroglyphics on the coffin.
Matt Travail, imaging manager at Kims, said: "It will be completely different from how we scan our patients. The scan itself will be over and done with in five minutes, but a lot of the time... will be spent on the analysis of it and the reconstruction."
Neville left the club this week after less than four months in charge and was replaced by Pako Ayestaran - a man Neville had brought to the Mestalla.
Valencia went ahead when Rodrigo scored after goalkeeper Javi Varas's error.
But Jonathan Viera's penalty and an own goal from Valencia's Shkodran Mustafi gave Las Palmas the three points.
The result leaves Los Che 15th in La Liga, only six points above the relegation zone with seven league matches left this season.
Valencia, who finished fourth in the table in 2014-15, have not played in the second tier of Spanish football since 1986-87.
Captain Wayne Rooney joined Sir Bobby Charlton at the top of the all-time England goalscorers' list by netting for the 49th time for his country.
Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey was impressive in the middle of the park on his return to the side.
So how did England's players fare overall? Chief football writer Phil McNulty runs the rule over the players on duty.
As expected, barely any action of note. One piece of mishandling late on but that was the result of the poor surface rather than anything to do with Hart.
Showed plenty of pace to retrieve one situation in the first half and worked hard to get forward on a night when his defensive qualities were not required.
As with Clyne, not needed defensively so was able to use his attacking instincts as England exerted complete control throughout.
Elegant and composed as ever and also showed glimpses of how he will help England break out of defence with the ball, particularly with one first-half run.
Solid as ever but was pretty much a spectator for most of the match. The mark is a reflection of his redundancy rather than performance.
A superb return after almost three years away from the England side. Showed good composure, a fine range of passing and that he could be a creator as well.
Usual workhorse effort. Utterly dependable and a man that manager Roy Hodgson can trust completely.
Had too much pace for the San Marino defence and used it to good effect. Perfect cross for Barkley's goal.
A good night for this wonderfully gifted Everton youngster. Scored his first England goal and was always looking to try things. Even the rather hard-to-please Mr Hodgson was impressed.
Equalled Sir Bobby Charlton's England record with his 49th goal, this time from the penalty spot. Took on his usual workload. History can wait - at least until Tuesday against Switzerland.
Worked his socks off and was aggressive, particularly in a second-half spat with San Marino defender Giovanni Bonini, but not everything worked. He will hope for another chance soon.
Came on with England dominant and did well, created a goal for Theo Walcott.
Perfect, morale-boosting finish for England's fifth goal. Took it well, showing great composure. He will hope his first goal of the season gets him going.
Great impact with two goals, the first seconds after coming on. Pace will always provide a threat and a potent extra option for Hodgson.
Head coach Simon Amor has said he is looking for 15-a-side players to reinforce his squad, but time is against them integrating in time.
Varndell previously played for Leicester and Wasps and was capped four times by England between 2005 and 2008.
"I would love a shot at the Olympics," the 30-year-old told BBC Radio Bristol.
"I am in talks with Simon Amor about doing some training and seeing where I am fitness-wise.
"The Olympics is a once in a lifetime opportunity and Rio is not a bad place to go to either," he added.
Bristol are currently vying for promotion to the Premiership, after losing to Worcester in last year's Championship play-off final.
And Varndell, whose try tally in the Premiership is only five short of Mark Cueto's record, admitted the stature of the club made them a major scalp for other teams.
"Everybody has been saying we will be the big team to be promoted," he added. "Bristol are the team to beat in the Championship and that makes our job a little bit harder every single time."
Referring to the deadly truck attack in Berlin by a Tunisian asylum seeker, she said it was "sickening" when acts of terror were carried out by people who had sought protection.
She said 2016 had been a year of "severe tests".
But she also said she was confident Germany could overcome them.
"As we go about our lives and our work, we are saying to the terrorists: 'You are hate-filled murderers, but you do not determine how we live and want to live. We are free, considerate and open'," Mrs Merkel said.
Twelve people were killed when Anis Amri drove a truck at crowds at a Berlin Christmas market two weeks ago.
Tough choice between freedom and security
Berlin lorry attack: What we know
Germany attacks: What is going on?
Earlier in the year, a teenage Afghan refugee wounded five people in an axe attack on a train in Wuerzburg and a Syrian whose asylum application had been refused blew himself up outside a bar in Ansbach, wounding 15 other people.
The attacks have led to some criticism of Mrs Merkel's policy of admitting more than a million refugees and migrants in 2015.
But in her New Year message the chancellor said images of the devastation in the Syrian city of Aleppo, where Syrian government forces have forced out rebels after months of fighting, showed how "important and right" it was for Germany to take in those fleeing the conflict.
"All this is reflected in our democracy, rule of law and values. They are the opposite of the hate-filled world of terrorism and will prove stronger than it. Together we are stronger. Our state is stronger," she said.
Mrs Merkel also denounced "distortions" that were leading people to believe that the EU and even parliamentary democracy were no longer working.
The EU was "slow and difficult", had suffered a blow with the United Kingdom's vote to leave and should focus on the things it "really can do better than the nation state", she said.
"But no - we Germans should never be deceived into thinking that a happy future could ever lie in going it alone nationally," she added.
Mrs Merkel is seeking a fourth term as chancellor in an election expected in September and has already said that she expects her toughest campaign yet.
People in Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City asked the Marquess of Salisbury to forego his rights after he sent letters saying he had access to land they own.
Campaigners now want a government inquiry into the ancient laws.
The Ministry of Justice said it had "no current plans to change the law".
A MoJ spokesman said they would "continue to monitor" the law regarding manorial rights.
Manorial rights are those retained by the lord of the manor when its land became freehold.
Source: Land Registry
These can include rights relating to mining, hunting and holding fairs or markets.
The system dates back to William the Conqueror's coronation as England's king in 1066 when feudal rights were introduced, but recently the Land Registration Act 2002 stated that people with manorial rights must lodge them with the Land Registry before October 2013 - or face losing them.
Hatfield House is the home of the seventh Marquess and Marchioness of Salisbury and has been in the Cecil family for 400 years.
Residents said they only realised Lord Salisbury had the rights when he sent out letters last year saying he had access to land they own.
Estate solicitors Bond Dickinson said the marquess was recording "pre-existing ownership" following a law change and residents "should not be alarmed".
Residents set up the Welwyn Hatfield Residents Against the Marquess of Salisbury Manorial Rights group to ask Lord Salisbury to give up these rights but have now begun a national campaign to get the law abolished in England and Wales.
On Wednesday, about 50 campaigners joined a march outside Hatfield House where a "people's proclamation" was read out.
It said lords claimed manorial rights "by virtue of inherited titles, yet you retain none of the responsibilities that once went hand in hand with them" and it would be asking MPs to have the rights abolished.
Campaign spokeswoman Amanda White said the "outdated laws" gave lords of the manor claim to more than 100,000 properties in England and Wales.
"They are relics of the past and have no place in a 21st Century democracy.... we must get rid of these outdated rights," she said.
As well as setting up a petition to force a parliamentary debate, the group is approaching MPs from other affected areas to ask for a Justice Select Committee inquiry into the ancient laws and their effect on residents which they hope will lead to a Law Commission Review.
Scotland abolished its feudal law in 2000 with the Abolition of Feudal Tenure (Scotland) Act.
Mr Obama said candidates should not resort to "insults" and "certainly not violence against other Americans".
Mr Trump, who leads the race for the Republican nomination, cancelled his Chicago rally after fighting broke out between his supporters and protesters.
His rivals and others have accused him of using inflammatory rhetoric.
Mr Obama, who will be standing down after November's presidential election, was speaking at a Democratic Party fundraiser in Dallas on Saturday.
He said: "What the folks who are running for office should be focused on is how we can make it even better - not insults and schoolyard taunts and manufacturing facts, not divisiveness along the lines of race and faith."
What Trump says about protesters at his rallies
Why are Americans so angry?
How extreme is Donald Trump?
Could Trump's vulgarity cost him the nomination?
The clashes at Mr Trump's Chicago rally on Friday began more than an hour before the event was due to start, and continued after it was cancelled.
Violent scuffles were sparked by Trump supporters attempting to wrestle flags from protesters.
One protester had to be physically removed from the stage. The clashes continued outside the venue.
On Saturday Mr Trump campaigned in Ohio, one of several key states - also including Florida and Ohio - holding primaries on Tuesday.
In Dayton, Ohio, he was briefly surrounded by Secret Service agents on stage after a man tried to breach the security cordon.
Mr Trump has taken a strong anti-immigrant stance, promising to build a "great wall" at the border with Mexico.
Commenting on relations between Muslims and America earlier this week, he said: "Islam hates us."
Speaking to Fox News after Friday's events in Chicago, Mr Trump denied fostering division.
"I represent a large group of people that have a lot of anger," he said. "There is tremendous anger out there on both sides."
Mr Trump's rivals for the Republican nomination, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, have both called the incident "sad".
Texas Senator Cruz accused Mr Trump of creating "an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse".
Mr Rubio and another Republican challenger, John Kasich, suggested they might not rally behind Mr Trump if he wins the nomination.
Mr Rubio said it was "getting harder every day" to keep his promise to unite behind the eventual Republican nominee.
Mr Kasich said Mr Trump's rhetoric "makes it very difficult" to support him.
On Saturday, party contests are being held in Wyoming, Washington DC, the Northern Mariana Islands and the nearby island territory of Guam.
In the Democratic race. Vermont senator Bernie Sanders is continuing his challenge against frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
It was built in 2007 by a British entrepreneur who had an eye for a dramatic view and was not put off by the challenge of building in Ethiopia's rugged and isolated Simien Mountains.
The man in question, Nick Crane, first came to Ethiopia to help during its 1974 drought.
Now the 62-year-old is at the forefront of promoting a positive side to this unique and still misunderstood country.
When not in Ethiopia, Mr Crane spends much of his time visiting travel companies across Europe to highlight the nation's scenery and wildlife, and rich cultural and historic sites.
"Previously some tour operators would not touch Ethiopia with a barge pole," he says. "But now that is changing."
Ethiopia's tourism industry has long lagged behind other African nations.
Recent comparable data showed that Africa's most popular destinations - Morocco and South Africa - got 9.3 million and 8.3 million overseas visitors respectively in 2011.
Ethiopia by contrast received just 523,000, putting it in 17th place across the continent.
But visitor numbers to Ethiopia are now growing by 10% each year, according to the Ethiopian Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
It adds the income the country's tourism sector receives is growing by 20% per annum, as the tourists who do visit are spending more.
Greg Dorey, the UK's ambassador to Ethiopia, says the nation's tourism potential "is certainly huge" and the Ethiopian government has expressed its intention to make the country one of the best visitor destinations in Africa.
There is even talk in Ethiopia of how tourism's contribution to the nation's foreign currency earnings could eventually overtake coffee, which has long been number one.
Yet to boost tourism numbers, Mr Dorey says Ethiopia has to increase investment.
Continuing to build infrastructure that meets the expectations of foreigners is key to maintaining this trend "as there is a limit to how much people are willing to rough it", Mr Dorey says.
At Mr Crane's Simien Lodge, while the exterior of the building was designed to look like a group of traditional Ethiopian huts, the interior is clean and modern.
This helps attract wealthier tourists, and he wants other hoteliers to follow his example.
Across the whole of the Simien Mountains National Park Mr Crane says that the number of annual tourists has increased from 5,000 in 2007 to 24,000 last year.
He adds that a high proportion of the newer visitors are Americans and Europeans aged over 50, people who have - and are happy to spend - money.
These members of the so-called baby boomer generation typically spend about $2,500 (£1,600) per person while on holiday in Ethiopia, significantly more than the young backpackers the country has traditionally attracted.
Yet other than Simien Lodge there are currently only two other hotels inside Ethiopia's 15 national parks.
One of these two facilities, in the Bale Mountains National Park, was opened this year by another British entrepreneur.
This might lead one to ask whether the Ethiopian government should be taking the lead here rather than enterprising British expats.
Yet Mr Dorey says: "[Ethiopia's] Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn is gripping the situation by chairing a high-level committee to tackle the country's tourism [shortfall]."
At the same time, however, the ambassador notes that many in government who lack international exposure still don't appreciate the potentially transformative economic role of tourism, and the contribution it could make to alleviating poverty.
Ethiopia, like many other developing nations, is also not immune to the temptation of charging overseas visitors more for the same service.
Even dishevelled, fiscally-minded backpackers have had to endure basic local hotels charging one rate for Ethiopians and a higher rate for faranj - foreigners.
And a current serious gripe among foreigners coming to Ethiopia for short-term work is how Ethiopian Airlines, at the end of 2013, raised the cost of internal flights for non-resident foreigners.
Others have noted entrance fees soaring at historical sites such as the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela.
There is also the question, some note, of what exactly is being done with the increasing flow of tourist dollars entering the country.
In the Simien Mountains National Park, for example, one must endure a taxingly bumpy ride to the lodge along the only crude road that threads through the park.
At the same time, the park's rudimentary facilities and camp sites have not changed for years.
Nevertheless, more tourists are coming to the Simien Mountains, and to Ethiopia in general, including "those with business interests, and who could themselves become investors in Ethiopia if their experiences are positive", Mr Dorey points out.
Such reactions and word of mouth may have much to do with fanning continued interest and growth, while Ethiopia's tourism infrastructure and publicity machine catch up.
Roberta Gundlach, an American 57-year-old mother of three, spent two nights at Simien Lodge before travelling on with her two friends to the city of Axum further north.
Since childhood she always wanted to visit Africa, but life and marriage got in the way, says Ms Gundlach. Then last year one of her travelling friends returned from his first trip to Ethiopia.
"He told me I simply had to go to Ethiopia," Ms Gundlach says.
Many in Ethiopia will be hoping the word continues to spread.
Ian Coulter is the former managing partner of Tughans solicitors in Belfast and worked on behalf of the buyers in the £1bn deal.
He left Tughans in January.
The firm said he had transferred fees to an Isle of Man bank account of which he was the sole beneficiary.
In a statement, Mr Coulter said he had directed the transfer but it was for "a complex, commercially and legally-sensitive" reason.
He added that the reason had been explained to his former partners at Tughans and "will be explained to the appropriate authorities".
However, in a statement on Wednesday, Tughans said "it strongly disagrees with his version of events".
Julian O'Neill, BBC News NI Business Correspondent
Mr Coulter's headline is that no politician (or relative of any politician) was to have been paid over the Nama deal.
It is worth noting what is not said in this 800-word statement.
Does the opening line of his statement provide a clue?
"The concept of a Northern Ireland Nama deal was developed and significant work leading up to this deal was done by other business people in Northern Ireland, before any involvement of Cerberus (or any bidder)."
It will be interesting to know what, if anything, Nama knew of this.
The BBC's Spotlight programme has established the account was intended to facilitate payments to non-lawyers or deal fixers in the £1bn sale of Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio.
The Irish politician, Mick Wallace, alleged that a payment of £7m was due to be made to a politician though no evidence has been produced for that claim.
A fee of £7.5m was paid to Tughans for work it did on behalf of Brown Rudnick - the lawyers which represented the Cerberus investment fund which bought the National Asset Management Agency (Nama) portfolio.
It is understood that Mr Coulter was the only person at Tughans working on the deal.
He said: "Through Tughans I was formally engaged to provide the required local counsel to Brown Rudnick.
"This was a commercial arrangement with Brown Rudnick, for which fees were discussed and agreed."
He said the £7.5m had been paid into a Tughans company account and in September 2014 he instructed the firm's finance director to transfer a portion of it into the external account.
Mr Coulter directly contradicted a claim by Tughans that it had "discovered" the money.
He said he transferred it back to Tughans in early December 2014 and brought it to their attention and then "discussions took place to try to resolve the matter".
Following those discussions, he said he resigned on terms agreed with Tughans.
He added: "I have not received any personal financial benefit for my work on this transaction. Neither I nor any third party has received any part of the £7.5m fees."
Mr Coulter said he has not yet been asked to attend either the finance committee of the NI Assembly or the Public Accounts Committee of the Oireachtas (Irish Parliament).
In its statement, Tughans said it "strongly disagrees with his (Mr Coulter's) version of events surrounding the treatment, discovery and retrieval of the professional fees and his exit from the practice".
It said it had passed all documentation relating to this to the Law Society.
"The firm voluntarily brought the matter to the attention of the Law Society and will continue to co-operate with any inquiry," the statement said.
A group wants the Justice Department and Office of Government Ethics to scrutinise "legal issues" related to the appointment of Jared Kushner, 36.
His lawyer says the post does not breach anti-nepotism laws.
Mr Kushner is married to Mr Trump's daughter Ivanka.
The millionaire will step down as boss of his family's real estate business and publisher of the New York Observer newspaper in order to comply with ethics laws, his lawyer Jamie Gorelick said.
The influential Trump adviser will also divest "substantial assets", she said.
Mr Trump will be inaugurated as the 45th US president on 20 January.
Several of his cabinet picks have business interests that will be scrutinised at confirmation hearings taking place this week.
Mr Trump's selection for attorney general, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, is the first to face Senate confirmation hearings on Tuesday. He was turned down for a federal judgeship in 1986 because of alleged racist remarks.
Unlike cabinet positions, advisers are considered part of White House staff and do not require approval from Congress.
Softly-spoken and usually camera-shy, Mr Kushner is a vastly wealthy property developer and publisher who played an influential role in Mr Trump's presidential campaign and has been included in key meetings with foreign leaders during the transition period.
An Orthodox Jew whose grandparents were Holocaust survivors, he was raised in Livingston, New Jersey, and went on to study sociology at Harvard.
His father, also a property mogul, was jailed for tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions and witness tampering in 2005 by Chris Christie - then the US attorney for New Jersey.
Jared Kushner is said to have played a key role in the ousting of Mr Christie, by then New Jersey governor, from Mr Trump's presidential campaign team last year.
In his new role, Mr Kushner will initially focus on trade policy and the Middle East, according to officials from the transition team.
On Sunday, he and Mr Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon met UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
The rule, signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1967, prevents public officials from promoting a relative "to a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control".
It is thought to have been prompted by JFK's appointment of brother Robert to the post of attorney general in 1960
The law would stop a president from giving a cabinet job to a relative - but it is unclear whether it applies to positions in the White House team.
Those that say it does not point to President Bill Clinton's appointment of First Lady Hillary Clinton as chair of his health care reforms package in 1993.
In their letter, the Democratic lawmakers, all members of the House Judiciary Committee, argue that a "strong case" can be made that the 1967 federal anti-nepotism statute applies to staff working in the White House, a position rejected by Mr Trump's team.
They also raise questions about how, even with significant divestment, Mr Kushner could completely avoid conflicts of interest in his White House role.
Concerns have been raised about his relationships with foreign investors. The New York Times reported on Saturday that the businessman met the head of an insurance group with links to the Chinese government over development plans for his skyscraper, 666 Fifth Avenue, just days after Mr Trump won the presidential election. His spokeswoman, quoted by the paper, said the timing of the meeting was a coincidence and he had already decided to sell his stake in the building.
As his appointment as special adviser was announced, Mr Kushner's lawyer, Ms Gorelick, said he was committed to complying with federal ethics laws and had consulted with the Office of Government Ethics about what steps to take.
She added that he would not be paid for the advisory role.
Ivanka Trump will step down from executive roles at the Trump Organization as well as her own fashion brands.
But she will not be taking an official role in her father's government - for now at least - and instead will focus on raising her children.
Reports said last week that Ivanka and Jared and their children would be moving into a $5.5m (£4.5m) home in Washington DC's wealthy Kalorama neighbourhood - at least for some time. The Obama family are due to be moving to the same area after leaving the White House.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump announced in November that his wife, Melania, would be staying in New York - at least initially - after his inauguration to allow their youngest son, Barron, to finish the school year.
Speaking in Estonia, he called Russia their biggest security threat, telling the Nato allies: "An attack on one of us is an attack on us all."
The remarks come amid growing tensions as Russia orders a cut in US diplomatic staff numbers.
The move was in retaliation for new US sanctions against Russia.
The Baltic states - Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia - all achieved independence as a result of the break-up of the Soviet Union.
They have grown increasingly wary of Russia since it annexed the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea in 2014, and count on Nato allies coming to their aid in the event of any Russian action.
There had been doubts about President Trump's commitment to the key Nato principle of mutual defence, after he did not mention it during a visit to Nato's Brussels headquarters in May and instead lambasted fellow members for not spending enough on defence.
But he re-committed the US to it during a Washington press conference in June, and more symbolically at a speech in Poland in early July.
After meeting the presidents of all three Baltic states, Mr Pence said that the message of President Donald Trump to them was: "We are with you."
"Under President Donald Trump, the United States stands firmly behind our Article 5 pledge of mutual defence," he said at a news conference in the Estonian capital, Tallinn.
Nato: What is it?
"A strong and united Nato is more necessary today than at any point since the collapse of communism a quarter-century ago," he said.
"And no threat looms larger in the Baltic states than the spectre of aggression from your unpredictable neighbour to the east."
Russia is preparing to hold large-scale military exercises with its ally Belarus in the next month.
Jonathan Marcus, BBC defence and diplomatic correspondent
Russia's decision to significantly reduce the number of US diplomatic staff marks the end of any immediate hope for a fresh start between Moscow and Washington. Indeed, it could usher in a new and uncertain period of competition between the two capitals.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin seized upon US President Donald Trump's election victory as offering the potential for a very different relationship.
Mr Putin appears to have misjudged what was on offer. Relying upon clear signals from the Trump campaign that a reset in the US relationship was both possible and desirable, Moscow intruded into the US campaign to an extent which US intelligence agencies believe was unprecedented.
Quite how far Russia intruded into the US campaign in actually backing candidate Trump is currently under investigation and this, of course, provides an important element of the backdrop to the worsening diplomatic relationship.

The US is currently holding its biggest ever joint military exercises with Georgia, a country which fought a war with Russia in 2008 and seeks to join Nato.
Mr Pence is scheduled to attend the drills in Georgia on Tuesday. He will later go to Montenegro, Nato's newest member.
In Estonia, the US vice-president also warned that Moscow continued to "seek to redraw international borders by force, undermine democracies of sovereign nations and divide the free nations of Europe, one against another".
His visit to the region comes as Moscow announced that 755 staff must leave US diplomatic missions in Russia, in retaliation over new sanctions imposed for Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and Russian interference in the US election.
Reacting to the move, Mr Pence said: "We hope for better days, for better relations with Russia.
"Recent diplomatic action taken by Moscow will not deter the commitment of the United States of America to our security, the security of our allies." | Footage of an osprey grappling with a large trout, captured for a BBC One documentary series, has been viewed on Facebook more than 13 million times.

The 4-3 victory in their EuroHockey Championship II semi-final ensured they will play in the eight-nation A Division for the first time in 2019.
Wales, who were also unbeaten in their group campaign, will play hosts Scotland in the final.
That will take place on Saturday, with both of the nations guaranteed promotion to Europe's elite.
Wales took the lead after 13 minutes after Rupert Shipperley deflected the ball superbly past the French keeper.
But the French equalised before the break through Gaspard Baumgarten's excellent reverse stick finish.
James Carson restored Wales' lead before Gareth Furlong scored from a penalty corner.
France again pulled one back before Luke Hawker scored Wales's fourth from another penalty corner.
A late French goal set up a nervy finish but Wales held on for victory.
"This is a huge moment for Hockey Wales and the squad," said Wales captain Lewis Prosser.
"We have been building towards this for the last two years and we are playing the best hockey we have ever played.
"I am so happy we got to the A division and I can't quite believe it."
Scotland beat Russia 4-3 in their semi-final.
While English and Welsh are the usual forms of communications in the Senedd, it opted for the native tongue of the enemies of Star Trek's Captain Kirk.
Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar had asked for details of UFOs sightings and asked if research would be funded.
A Welsh government spokesman responded with: "jang vIDa je due luq."
The Welsh government statement continued: "'ach ghotvam'e' QI'yaH devolve qaS."
In full it said it translated as: "The minister will reply in due course. However this is a non-devolved matter."
It is believed to be the first time the Welsh government has chosen to communicate in Klingon.
Mr Millar, shadow health minister and AM for Clwyd West, submitted three questions to economy, science and transport minister Edwina Hart about UFO reports around the airport and across the rest of Wales.
Responding to the government's unusual diversion into trilingualism, Mr Millar said: "I've always suspected that Labour ministers came from another planet. This response confirms it."
Mr Millar asked:
The 24-year-old, who went on loan to Rotherham this term after injury, has played eight times since his return.
"We've got a (12-month) option on him (in the summer) and clearly I'm going to take that up," said McCarthy.
"We are in negotiations with him about a new contract. Whether he's happy with what we've offered him I don't know - Marcus (Evans) is dealing with it."
Hyam, who has made 105 league appearances for Ipswich, played in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Reading which lifted Town into the Championship play-offs, with Brett Pitman's 89th-minute winner securing the Portman Road win.
"We worked unbelievably hard and scrapped and fought for everything," McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk of his side's performance.
"That was one of our hardest games all season, physically. We didn't play particularly well but we were playing against a really good team full of quality Championship players.
"All the things I talk about, resilience, determination and endurance, that is sometimes much maligned because people and I want sexy football - but it's not always a league you can do it in.
"As I've found over my 24 years doing it, you tend to get more out of it with all those physical, tough qualities than you do with just wanting to be a nice football team."
The 0.2% rise in house prices last month was down from a 0.8% rise in December, although that left prices 4.3% higher than at this time in 2016.
"The outlook for the housing market remains clouded," said Nationwide economist Robert Gardner.
The average price of a house in the UK dropped slightly to £205,240.
Mr Gardner said that so far there had not been a negative impact on the economy following the vote to leave the EU.
"The economy has remained far stronger than expected in the wake of the Brexit vote.
"Recent data indicates that the economy didn't slow in the second half of 2016 and the unemployment rate remained stable at an 11-year-low in the three months to November."
However, he added: "There are tentative signs that conditions may be about to soften.
"Employment growth has moderated and while wage growth has edged up in recent months, in real terms, earnings growth has already slowed."
Even though the Nationwide reckons that house price inflation was 4.3% in January, it still believes the average figure for 2017 will end up at 2%. That implies a fairly dramatic dip in inflation during the months ahead.
In fact it looks like house prices could soon be rising at a slower rate than the cost of living as a whole.
In the smartest parts of London, prices have already fallen by up to 12% in the last year, according to some analysis.
But Nationwide's gloomy outlook for the economy and house prices may be good news for house-hunters.
Among those sites set to open are the historic Durbar squares or "noble courts", which were badly damaged.
Unesco raised some concerns over the safety of reopening the sites. But media reports cite officials as saying the necessary measures are in place.
More than 8,000 people were killed and the destruction was widespread.
Shortly after the quake, Unesco's director-general Irina Bokova described damage to the Kathmandu valley as "extensive and irreversible". It sent a team to assess the damage and is continuing to monitor the situation.
On 11 June Unesco issued a statement asking the public to be extra cautious at the sites, adding that it hoped the decision to reopen them could be re-examined.
Security will be in place, tourists will be given guided tours and signboards will indicate specified routes to cause minimal disturbance to structures, officials are quoted as saying in local media.

The Durbar Square in Kathmandu's Old City is a mesh of palaces, courtyards and temples. Unesco calls it "the social, religious and urban focal point" of the Nepalese capital. The UN has urged security perimeters be put in place here.
Unesco says the process of salvaging the artefacts at the Buddhist temple complex at the Swayambhunath temple complex - founded in the 5th Century - is still ongoing. It also believes that opening the area could risk the theft of art and cultural objects.
The main temple in Bhaktapur's Durbar Square lost its roof, while the 16th Century Vatsala Durga temple, famous for its sandstone walls and gold-topped pagodas, was demolished by the quake. Local media reports that tourists to severely damaged Changu Narayan of northern Bhaktapur will be carefully monitored .
Patan's Durbar Square, the 3rd Century site across the Bagmati river to the east of Kathmandu, was opened to the public last week.
The body was found on Sunday night on what police said was an inaccessible area of waste ground next to the M6.
Zahid Mirza's car crashed on the southbound carriageway between junctions 4A and 5 near Coleshill, Warwickshire, on 15 January.
The car was empty and Mr Mirza, 40, has not been seen by his family since.
The body was found after two days of intensive searching, police said.
Mr Mirza is from Chelmsley Wood, near Solihull.
More stories from Birmingham and the Black Country
Det Supt Tom Chisholm said the area had been searched at the time of the crash but the driver was not found.
"Following enquiries, we discovered that Mr Mirza's family have had no contact with him since then, so specialist officers have been in the area over the past two days carrying out searches," he said.
"Yesterday evening (Sunday) the search team discovered the body of a man in an inaccessible area of waste ground. The body has not been formally identified but family liaison officers have notified Mr Mirza's family and are supporting them."
Nigeria's then-military regime sparked global outrage after convicting Mr Saro-Wiwa of murder and hanging him.
The West African state's main human rights body said his trial was "deeply flawed", and he should be pardoned.
Mr Saro-Wiwa led mass protests against oil pollution in Nigeria's Ogoniland.
The protests were seen as a major threat to then-military ruler Gen Sani Abacha, and oil giant Shell.
Military rule ended in Nigeria, Africa's most populous state and biggest oil producer, in 1999.
The head of the government-appointed Nigerian Human Rights Commission Chidi Odinkalu said there was no doubt Ken Saro-Wiwa's trial was "deeply flawed" and "unsafe".
A posthumous pardon was the only way to restore the integrity of the state which "breached its own laws to procure a killing", he added, the AFP news agency reports.
The main events to commemorate Mr Saro-Wiwa's death - including a "justice walk" - are taking place in the main oil city, Port Harcourt, reports the BBC's Chris Ewokor from the capital, Abuja.
Nigeria's port authorities have refused to release a metal bus, shipped from the UK, which was to have been part of the commemorations because they regarded its message as highly political, our reporter adds.
It had written on it Mr Saro-Wiwa's famous phrase: "I accuse the oil companies of committing genocide."
Suzanne Dhaliwal from campaign group Action Soro-Wiwa condemned the seizure of the bus.
"We are still seeing the same attitudes to the freedom of expression that were there 20 years ago," she told the BBC's Newsday programme.
The bus is an artwork of UK-based Nigerian artist Sokari Douglas Camp, and was done about a decade ago.
It was commissioned by campaign groups, including Platform, to show solidarity with Nigerians who are still affected by oil pollution.
Last week, Amnesty International and the Centre for Environment, Human Rights and Development accused Shell of making false claims about the extent of its clean-up operations in Nigeria.
In a report, they said several sites Shell claimed to have had cleaned up were still polluted. Shell said that it disagreed with their findings.
Mr Saro-Wiwa and eight other activists were hanged after a secret trial which saw them being convicted of murdering four traditional leaders.
They denied the charge, and said they were framed.
The executions led to Nigeria's temporary suspension from the Commonwealth.
Rachael Bermingham's petition calling for a referendum so that residents can decide if the city joins up has been signed by more than 3,100 people.
Mrs Bermingham said it was a very important decision which deserved "the proper exercise of democracy".
The council said there was no legal requirement for a referendum.
A spokesman said that a statutory process ahead of any proposal about a combined authority would include consultation, while the government "will make the final decision".
The Labour group which runs the council voted to support the move in principle last week but the matter will be discussed further at a cabinet meeting on Thursday.
All this talk about the "Northern Powerhouse" seems at last to be concentrating minds in the West Midlands. The combined authority proposed six months ago by four Black Country councils plus Birmingham now has the support of Coventry's Labour administration. Their Conservative counterparts in Solihull, always the most reluctant partners, have agreed to recommend their authority should join in too.
Solihull's participation would be crucial because a Midlands powerhouse which did not include Birmingham Airport, the National Exhibition Centre and a potential high-speed rail interchange would be something of a nonsense.
The prize being held out by the chancellor is unprecedented devolved political and spending power worth billions of pounds, along the lines of that already being handed over to authorities in and around Manchester.
With it would come extra clout for local decision-makers in important areas like housing, transport, skills and planning. In return, they may have to stomach a "metro mayor". Despite overwhelming evidence that such a move is generally unwanted here, George Osborne is adamant that the new-style regional boss is a "pre-requisite".
Councils controlling Birmingham, Walsall and Wolverhampton are among those who have backed the plans.
The petition says that many residents are concerned about Coventry "playing second fiddle to Birmingham, as it did in the old West Midlands County Council days".
Mrs Bermingham, 63, said she remembered the county council providing "an additional layer of authority and bureaucracy" until its end in 1986. She believes the development of Coventry's city centre was among areas which lost out.
Mrs Bermingham, a retired civil servant and mother of a daughter, said she was "shocked and surprised" to read that the council supported the plan which would "have an impact for decades" and should involve extensive public discussion.
She hopes the petition will get at least 15,000 supporters, meaning the issue is debated at a full council meeting under council e-petition rules.
Council leader Ann Lucas has said it was about moving power "from Whitehall to the West Midlands" - not from Coventry to Birmingham, and that councils working together could make the best decisions about major investments for the area.

Pardew was appointed on a three-and-a-half-year deal in January 2015 but the 55-year-old has been dismissed after a run of one victory in 11 games.
Palace have taken just 26 points from the 36 Premier League matches they have played in 2016 and are only one point above the relegation zone.
Former England boss Sam Allardyce is the bookmakers' favourite to take over.
The ex-Sunderland, Newcastle and West Ham boss is among those expected to be considered.
Chairman Steve Parish told BBC Sport: "We all bought into the decision to play a more expansive style of football. We all believed in it. That hasn't worked. It's no-one's fault. The players have been running their socks off for Alan, the spirit is good.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"But now we're going to wind the dial back the other way.
"We're talking to a number of people to make sure we get this right. Nothing has been agreed."
In a statement, Pardew said: "Personally I have a lot of good feelings for this football club and am sad that my time there has ended.
"I feel that I have a special bond with the club and hope that hasn't been affected," added the manager, who made more than 100 appearances for Palace as a player between 1987 and 1991 and led them to the FA Cup final last season.
Parish, who co-owns the club with American investors Josh Harris and David Blitzer, added: "I'm not going to blame other people [the American co-owners]. Relegation is so costly and I feel with no blame attached we got ourselves in a rut and need a change."
Palace have yet to confirm who will take charge of the team for their league fixture at Watford on Boxing Day.
As recently as 3 December, after the club's 3-0 win over Southampton, Pardew thanked Palace chairman Parish for his support.
After the third goal, Pardew gave a thumbs-up gesture to Parish, who responded in a similar fashion.
Following the game, Pardew said: "We have a lot of serious investors at the club who perhaps don't know a lot about football so the chairman has been defending me this week, so I just wanted to say thanks."
Pardew left Newcastle to take over at Selhurst Park after Neil Warnock was sacked with Palace in the relegation zone.
His appointment was a popular one with supporters and results improved as Palace went on to avoid the drop comfortably by finishing 10th, their best final position in the Premier League era.
It meant he became the first manager of a Premier League club to secure a top-half finish after being in the relegation places at Christmas.
Palace started the 2015-16 season with impressive victories over Liverpool and Chelsea which prompted talk of qualifying for Europe.
However, Palace then endured a 14-game winless run in the Premier League between 19 December and 9 April and they finished 15th.
Those struggles were offset as Palace reached the FA Cup final for only the second time in their history, facing Manchester United at Wembley.
Palace took the lead through Jason Puncheon in the 78th minute, but goals from Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard saw United win 2-1.
BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty
Alan Pardew's managerial career has always had an element of "boom and bust" - and his last 12 months at Crystal Palace have fallen into the latter category.
While club chairman Steve Parish was recently able to persuade Palace's American owners to give Pardew time, home defeats by Manchester United and Chelsea, albeit by narrow margins, meant they could keep faith no longer.
Pardew guided Palace to the FA Cup final in May, and even though he lost talisman Yannick Bolasie to Everton in a £25m deal last summer, he had to deliver once he was allowed to re-invest expensively on players such as Christian Benteke and Andros Townsend.
He has failed to do so, and with Palace lying only one point above the relegation places, the increasingly likelihood of Palace being dragged further into a fight to stay up means he has paid the price for his failings.

After 18 years in management, which has included stints at Reading, West Ham, Charlton, Southampton and Newcastle as well as Palace, Pardew finds himself out of work.
His career has not been without controversy. As long ago as 2006, while in charge of West Ham, he was involved in a confrontation with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
In January 2014, he was involved in a heated incident with Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini. Two months later, he was fined £100,000 and given a formal warning for headbutting Hull City midfielder David Meyler.
As recently as September, Pardew was talked of as a potential England manager and despite his recent struggles with Palace, he is likely to be linked with vacancies in the Premier League or Championship.
In a statement, Parish said: "With games now coming thick and fast over the holiday period the club are hoping to put someone in place as quickly as possible but have nothing to say about a replacement at this time."
Some of the possible contenders are:
Former Palace striker Clinton Morrison told BBC Radio 5 live: "I think the Americans wanted their own man. Maybe Pardew knew he was coming to his end because you don't criticise the owners. Really, with the signings they've had, Palace should be doing better. Pardew was given ridiculous money."
Ex-Palace chairman Simon Jordan said: "This isn't panic, it's a reaction to results that people could have seen six weeks ago. If you look at the performance of the team from January, they tanked. The FA Cup final muddied it.
"Sam Allardyce is as good as it gets at guaranteeing a team doesn't get relegated. There's not exactly a plethora of top-quality managers around there, and Sam is a top, top manager."

Trott rode tactically in the final race of six disciplines to finish 12 points clear of Belgium's Jolien D'Hoore, with Netherland's Kirsten Wild third.
It was the Briton's second gold medal of the meet following her success in the women's team pursuit on Friday.
Britain also took gold in the men's team pursuit and men's madison.
British Cycling technical director Shane Sutton said: "Our winning mentality is coming back. We're starting to get some results.
"We're not just relying on the women's team pursuit winning."
Trott, who won the individual points race at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, held a 14 point lead over D'Hoore going into the 100-lap race and sat on the wheel of her rival for much of the event.
With five points available for the winner of each of the 10 sprints, the 22-year-old was happy to see riders who were no threat to the overall standings take the majority of them, before leaping clear to win sprint nine and secure gold with 10 laps still to go.
"I'm so happy," Trott said. "The points race has never been my strongest event. I've been doing a lot of work.
"My tactics were actually quite simple, all I had to do was follow Jolien. When I won the second from last sprint I knew it was over."
Trott made an excellent start to the two-day omnium event, winning the scratch race and individual pursuit to give herself breathing room in the eliminator, time trial and flying lap disciplines.
In the corresponding men's event, Jon Dibben, 22, finished seventh despite a technical problem in the eliminator and a crash in the final points race.
In the final event with British interest, Jessica Varnish finished fifth in the women's keirin final after being handed a surprise start.
The 24-year-old was due to race in the minor final but was promoted to replace Russia's Ekaterina Gnidenko, who was relegated for her involvement in a crash in the semi-finals.
The chain started with a market stall in Wakefield set up by Christopher Edwards in 1974.
Construction is due to start in the summer on a 30-acre (12 ha) site at Normanton, near junction 31 of the M62.
It is part of a plan to create about 3,500 jobs with a nationwide expansion of 200 stores over the same period.
The firm, which is based at Normanton, currently has more than 280 outlets, as well as 50 Bargain Buys shops. It employs more than 6,000 people.
The new distribution centre should be completed in autumn 2016, the retailer said.
It smashed its original target of replacing £3,000 worth of gifts and decorations taken from St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London.
Candles, decorations and several Santa suits have also been donated.
The donations will go towards a "bigger and better" Christmas party at St Mary's paediatric intensive care unit, officials said.
The unit at St Mary's treats children for conditions including meningitis, sepsis and trauma.
Vicky Rees, head of fundraising at Cosmic - the Children of St Mary's Intensive Care charity - said "smashing our target means we can do more activities for the children over Christmas".
"We're completely overwhelmed by the response" she said.
The funds will also be invested in specialist sensory material for children with severe impairments.
Tina Halton, lead play specialist St Mary's, said the money was "extraordinary".
"In other fields these figures are more normal, but we work on really small budgets".
Ms Halton said some of the comments flooding in were "just as important" as the donations.
"If you're a child in a hospital its very isolating, sending in messages shows the children that they're being thought about."
Hospital staff and local organisations have also volunteered their time to help organise the new party and wrap presents at short notice.
"Sometimes London can feel quite big, but today isn't one of those days," said Ms Halton.
The Met Police are still appealing for witnesses or anyone with information of the original theft to come forward.
Sir James Munby, president of the High Court's Family Division, said he had not been persuaded by the "central core of its case against any of the adults".
He also said a significant part of the adults' evidence was "untruthful".
The council had taken action to remove the children from their parents because of fears they were in danger.
Neither parties in the case can be identified for legal reasons.
Sir James said the family's explanation that they were "on holiday" near Turkey's border with Syria before they were intercepted was "not credible".
"The truth of course may be that the local authority's case is right, but it has not persuaded me, even on a balance of probabilities, that it is," he said.
"Neither the local authority's arguments nor the family's lies and evasions suffice to make good the local authority's case."
The case involves a brother and sister, aged 12 and under, and two brothers aged four and under to whom they are related.
In March 2015 the three adults involved travelled to Turkey with the children, first to Antalya and then to Adana. They were detained by the Turkish authorities close to the border with a part of Syria controlled by so-called Islamic State.
The children were made wards of court at the local authority's request.
When the family members returned to the UK, the adults were arrested and held in custody for three days while the children were placed with foster carers until later returned to their parents' care after safeguards, including electronic tagging, were imposed.
The local authority argued there was evidence that the adults had intended to leave their UK homes permanently and had lied about their plans.
But the judge said it was "very significant" that the local authority accepted it could not say that the motivation for the journey was to join the so-called Islamic State group, or some other religious or political organisation.
A large part of the evidence against the family members came from the police and involved what was found when various properties were searched, including a document entitled "Muslims Will Not Compromise on the Khilafah".
A hard drive found at one home contained images relating to a Syria Winter Crisis Appeal and another showed four men being hanged from a crane.
But the police considered the material was not necessarily supportive of extremism likely to lead to terrorism, said the judge.
British Transport Police (BTP) said the man was found injured after being struck at Burry Port station at about 14:45 GMT on Saturday.
He was airlifted to hospital by helicopter.
People using Arriva Trains Wales services between Manchester Piccadilly and Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock and Fishguard Harbour were affected.
Some local services in Carmarthenshire were cancelled but Arriva Trains Wales said services were later running normally.
Limited replacement bus services were also put in place.
BTP is investigating but said the incident was not being treated as suspicious.
The FTSE 100 closed down 78.72 points at 5874.06, the eighth session in a row that it has fallen.
Shares in Rolls-Royce slipped 2.6% after the FT reported nationalising its nuclear submarine business was being considered by the government.
Rolls-Royce has issued five profit warnings in less than two years.
Oil prices continued to fall, as worries over a global glut in supplies continued. Brent crude's spot price dropped at one point to a new $1.29, or 3.4%, to a new seven-year low below $37 a barrel, before settling at $37.87.
Energy stocks were mainly lower, including those of Shell and BG, after questions were raised by an institutional investor about merger plans with the current oil price so low. Later Shell said it would cut more deeply than it originally planned - another 3% of the workforce - should it merge.
Shell was down 2.1% and BG down just under 1%.
Firms with exposure to South Africa rebounded slightly, following news of another new finance minister.
On Sunday, it was announced that David van Rooyen was being replaced with the more experienced Pravin Gordhan.
Among those with interests in South Africa, shares in financial services firm Old Mutual were up 1.3% after an earlier 7% rise.
On the currency markets, the pound fell a cent against the dollar to $1.5129, and dropped 1% against the euro to €1.3714.
George Kay was charged with assault by beating and possessing a banned weapon after an alleged row at their home in Crowborough, East Sussex.
The 36-year-old, from Warrington, in Cheshire, had denied both charges following the incident last September.
Not guilty verdicts were entered when he appeared before Lewes Crown Court.
The protesters attacked the National Palace, burning the main door and painting slogans on the walls.
The protests came a day after the authorities said hit men from a gang had murdered the 43 students in the town of Iguala in Guerrero state.
Protests also took place in Guerrero's state capital, Chilpancingo.
Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said on Friday that the students had been killed by criminals acting on local police orders.
He said three alleged gang members had claimed the students were handed over to them by the police.
Thousands of protesters across the country have taken to the streets in the past few weeks to complain about the government's handling of the case.
Mr Murillo Karam said videotaped confessions showed that gang members had killed the students, then burned and dumped the bodies in a landfill site in Cocula, a city near Iguala.
He said the local mayor of Iguala, who is now under arrest, had ordered police to stop the students disrupting a speech his wife was making in the town.
The missing students from a teacher training college in Ayotzinapa, in Guerrero state, had travelled to nearby Iguala to protest against what they said were discriminatory hiring practices, and to collect funds for their college.
But they went missing after clashes with the police.
More than 70 people have been arrested in connection with the disappearances, including the mayor of Iguala, Jose Luis Abarca, and his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda, who were detained in Mexico City last Tuesday.
President Enrique Pena Nieto on Sunday left on a six-day trip to China and Australia despite heavy criticism that he should not be leaving because of the crisis.
Correspondents say the disappearance of the students has severely damaged his attempts to move attention away from years of drug violence towards the economic reforms that have won him international praise.
Him again. Him that always seems to have a say in these games against Derek McInnes' team, him that had already scored three times in this fixture this season, him that brought up the treble in the most dramatic way.
Rogic, in running at Andy Considine, was at a major advantage. Considine, like many of his team-mates, was a weary soul, a fighter who had given everything he could and who was now living on the ropes and hoping for a miracle. The boxing analogy is not out of place.
This was toe-to-toe and blow-for-blow for the longest time. Then, it was a one-way pummelling, Celtic on the front foot but the Dons refusing to go down.
The Australian went by the spent Considine like he wasn't there, then fired in the winner that brought an end to a great final and a heroic resistance.
The Dons can't chastise themselves. They can't really have regrets. They met a special team and took them to the wire. This was one of the great cup finals.
Aberdeen's pre-match checklist would have been long, their must-dos stretching down one page and on to another. They had to have an inspired goalkeeper - and they did.
They had to have a brave defence - and they had. They needed a rugged midfield capable of upsetting Celtic's totem, Scott Brown, and shaking them out of their natural rhythm - they had that, too. And they needed the first goal - that was theirs as well.
The underdogs were fired up, no question. Fired up by five-straight losses to Celtic, fired up by the memory of their limp surrender to Brendan Rodgers' team in November's League Cup final and the wretchedness of the opening stages of their last meeting, when Celtic scored three times in the first 11 minutes.
When Jonny Hayes rifled in the first goal, there was an edge and energy about Aberdeen that made you shift forward in your seat. Before kick-off, they were 6-1 to win, but not now.
Another of the things on McInnes' list of must-haves was luck - and they got a chunk of it when Jayden Stockley, sent off for catching opponents with his arms earlier this season, avoided censure after connecting with Kieran Tierney.
Stockley pleaded innocence but his previous made you doubt him. He got away with it. Tierney, alas, did not. He left the field with a bloodied mouth.
His manager said later that he might need surgery. Scotland coach Gordon Strachan may have winced as surely as Rodgers in these moments. Scotland versus England is only two weeks away.
What every neutral wanted from this cup final was a contest, a game that put Celtic under the cosh and forced them to fight. We got it.
The champions, who levelled through Stuart Armstrong, had to dig deep and it was because they had to go to a place they have so infrequently gone to this season that made this all the more joyous for them. They were drawn into a game that tested not just their ability but their fitness and their heart, and they came through.
Some of the Aberdeen players sank to their knees on the full-time whistle. One or two did what they steadfastly refused to do all day and lay down and played dead on the pitch. They were broken.
Through the disappointment, McInnes saw hope. There are stories linking him to the Sunderland manager's position right now, but in the aftermath of the final he didn't sound like a man who was going anywhere bar back to Aberdeen to rebuild and come again.
There is a job to be done. Ryan Jack has played his last game for the club. So, too, Niall McGinn and Peter Pawlett. Nobody is expecting Ash Taylor to be around either. Meanwhile, Kenny McLean is said to be wanted by QPR. There's no surprise there. McLean is a fine footballer. Holding on to him is a thumping priority.
McInnes will comfort himself in the fact that Celtic surely can't have the same domestic dominance next season as they've had this campaign, that in the pursuit of progress in Europe they will show a little weakness at home. If that's the case - still a big if - then he'll bank on his team remaining in the box-seat to take advantage.
He has a big summer ahead, a summer when new players must be found on a budget, players who can build on what was, yes, a trophy-less campaign, a season of seconds, but one to be proud of all the same.
No Aberdeen supporter went skipping out of Hampden, but they retreated knowing that their team emptied themselves out there. Against these Celtic boys, sometimes everything is still not enough.
Speaking at the start of Hate Crime Awareness Week, Phil Gormley said he was determined to eradicate all forms of hatred in Scotland.
A new network of LGBTI liaison officers has been established in a bid to improve the reporting of hate crimes.
About 90 officers have been trained to work with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex community.
The chief constable's comments come after a recent report called for a stronger approach to tackling hate crime in Scotland.
It found the issue was far worse than official figures suggested.
Mr Gormley called on all victims of hate crime to report every incident to police.
He said: "Tackling all forms of hate crime remains an absolute priority for Police Scotland.
"Every incident has a significant impact on the victim, their family and wider communities. Police Scotland continues to work closely with our criminal justice partners to do everything in our power to protect all communities and eradicate all forms of hatred."
Mr Gormley said hate crime manifested itself in many different ways - through violence, offensive graffiti and vandalism as well as intimidation and harassment in person and online.
He said: "All of this behaviour is completely unacceptable, and whether criminal or not, Police Scotland wants to know about in order to avoid behaviour escalating and being unchallenged."
Mr Gormley said the force could not tackle the issue alone and urged victims to either come forward to officers or to partner agencies, which included charities and community groups.
He detailed a training programme where 90 officers from the force had received specialist training from LGBTI charity the Equality Network as well as an initiative involving the I Am Me charity, which provides support for disabled people.
He said: "We recognise that hate crime often goes unreported, and there are many reasons why people don't come forward and raise their concerns, but we must work together to ensure hate crime has no place in our communities."
Cathleen Lauder, who grew up with a stammer and is transgender, told BBC Scotland she was regularly a target for abuse.
"There's always going to be bad days, when you want to to cry and hide away but you've just got to get on, get out there and live," she said.
She said the specially trained officers will improve the experience for those reporting abuse and make people more likely to come forward.
Tim Hopkins, director of the Equality Network said the training initiative by Police Scotland would improve confidence among the LGBTI community if they were victims of hate crime.
He said: "It's great to see that Police Scotland have now set up a national network of liaison officers.
"This will help LGBTI people have the confidence to report hate incidents to the police, and will mean that there should always be a police officer they can make contact with who has an understanding of LGBTI issues."
An independent review published last month and commissioned by the Scottish government, said that tackling hate crime should be "a priority concern for the whole of society".
It cited figures showing a 49% rise in football-related hate crime in the past year and also said that racist hate crimes were the most commonly reported form of hate crime.

Sport matters because it has the potential to do what very little else in the world can: uniting communities, stirring the soul, strengthening the body, building bonds between disparate nations, offering individuals identity and an escape. But sport is not getting the governance it deserves.
Governance is a dull word. So is administration. It is critical, and it is critical that it is done right, because otherwise we are all being cheated.
Sportspeople are being swindled of their careers, of their reputations, of their future. Us sports lovers are being defrauded of our trust, our emotional energy and our financial largesse.
Another day, another deluge of dirty laundry. On Monday, an independent commission set up by the World Anti-Doping Agency revealed a toxic epidemic of doping, cover-ups and extortion running across Russian athletics and spreading into the sport's international governing body.
Dope cheats, protected by the people paid to catch them. Extortion to ensure their complicity. The destruction of thousands of samples, the involvement of secret police. All this while those at the top of the sport face trial for corruption and money laundering.
We should be surprised by the depth and reach of this latest scandal. But how can we be, when it stems from a pattern so familiar across the sporting world?
There is governing body Fifa, in charge of the world's single most popular sport, with 14 of its current and former officials and associates on FBI charges of "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption. Its long-term oligarch Sepp Blatter is currently suspended, along with Uefa president Michel Platini, in the wake of a separate Swiss criminal case.
There was the International Cycling Union under former president Hein Verbruggen, found by a 227-page report released last March to have colluded with disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong to cover up his positive dope test at the 1999 Tour de France.
There is the International Cricket Council (ICC), run by N Srinivasan who was banned from running his own national governing board by the Supreme Court of India. His scandalous lack of accountability was outlined in detail by former Lord Chief Justice Lord Woolf and in human terms by recent film Death of a Gentleman.
There is F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, who had his bribery trial in a German court settled in exchange for a £60m payment, and he left court a free man with no stain on his character.
And there was the IOC before the Winter Games at Salt Lake City, expelling six of its members for taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from officials behind the city's bid in 2002.
There might be the temptation to shrug with cynicism, to claim that everyone is at it, to suggest that where such power and money flows there will always be temptation and a failure to resist it.
Do not. Athletics rewards very few with great financial dividends. It demands not just inherited talent but relentless hard work, much of it physically exhausting, little of it glamorous.
When its governing body behaves less like global sheriff than bent cop, it renders all that not meaningless, but self-destructive. Who would put themselves through so much pain for so long only to be denied on the biggest stage by someone who has been aided and abetted in taking shortcuts? And who would want to be known for their sport when so many then assume all involved have been guilty of the same deceptions?
It is the sort of double-cross and double blow that no clean athlete deserves, traduced by the cheats, smeared by the actions of those who have already duped them once.
The existence of widespread doping in Russian athletics has been talked about in the sport for years. It became a repetitive joke: when did you ever see a Russian runner looking tired in the finishing straight?
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) should be fighting that plague and protecting the reputations of its true stars.
For those who watch from the outside, who invest financially in tickets and television subscriptions and emotionally in the big nights and great races, there is a betrayal equally as significant.
Who to trust? When to throw yourself into the moment? When to celebrate something you yourself could only dream of doing?

There were 17 track and field medals for Russia at the London Olympics - eight golds, four silvers and five bronzes. Across the whole Games they won 81. That is a very large asterisk to attach to the largest sporting event this country will ever see.
With every scandal a little more faith leaches away. When you can't trust what you are watching, when you wonder where your money is going and what price others are paying for the events you love to watch, then the leak becomes a flood.
What to do? Some say keep caring. Others, be angry. Demand more.
Elite sport happens because you watch, listen and read. Sponsors come calling because you come with it.
That money is there because of you, so exert the control you have. Those who do not agree with the ICC cutting the number of teams in its one-day World Cup from 14 to 10, further eviscerating the smaller nations, can deluge it with complaint.

If you watched Death of a Gentleman and were distressed to learn that India, Australia and England carve up more than half of all Test revenues between them, you could join the film's Change Cricket campaign.
Don't hear the word administration and look at the latest scores instead. If the voting process that awarded Fifa's World Cup to a small desert state with a questionable human rights record disturbs you, campaigners would suggest you boycott the sponsors who bankroll it.
Where is your money going? Where is your affection being exploited? There are those who turn off the Diamond League when dope cheats are welcomed back. Others stop buying the trainers of companies who give those cheats shoe contracts. The fan is not an impotent consumer.
The UCI has begun its rehabilitation under Brian Cookson. The International Olympic Committee changed forever after Salt Lake. Athletics must do the same, even as football currently seems unable to free itself from its own moral mineshaft.
A scandal this grave demands action on an unprecedented scale. Suspend countries from events. Take events away from others. Think less of the organisation's reputation and more of the sport's survival.
When journalists publish allegations of doping, do not call it a "declaration of war on the sport" as new IAAF president Lord Coe did this summer. If former head of anti-doping Gabriel Dolle is convicted of bribery and corruption, re-examine the other cases under his jurisdiction and retest frozen samples.
Wada's budget last year was £17.5m, less than some footballers earn on their own. Match its funding to the scale of the problem.
Sport only survives if we all keep coming back. We come back because we believe in it. If that trust goes, everything else falls with it. It is a bottom line that brooks no argument.
The Alex had hoped to sign the former England international defender, 37, after he was released by Blackburn.
"He was supposed to come in and speak to us," assistant manager Kenny Lunt told BBC Radio Stoke. "He never did come in. It would have been nice to sit down with him."
Meanwhile, defender George Ray, 23, has signed a two-year contract.
Ray made his 100th appearance for the club on the final day of last season and his new deal runs until June 2019.
Lunt, talking about missing out on Brown, added: "We've moved on and we're now looking at different options.
"I wouldn't say there's no chance [of signing him] but we've got a list of players that we're looking at."
League Two side Crewe have signed one new defender this summer, Michael Raynes from Carlisle United, but they have lost Jon Guthrie to Walsall and Ollie Turton to Blackpool.
As doctors scanned his head to check for damage, they found a tumour deep inside his brain which may otherwise have remained undetected.
And in 1993 the electronic engineering student from Israel was told the mass they had just discovered was nestling close to areas of the brain critical for movement and thought.
He now faced a choice - to have complex, invasive surgery that carried a risk of paralysis, or to find another way.
After a year of searching, Mr Yaron came across a surgeon in New York who removed part of the tumour successfully, and samples showed it was benign. The engineer was then advised to wait until technology had improved enough for the next operation to be less risky.
But for Mr Yaron this was not an option. The possibility remained it could put pressure on parts of the brain as it grew.
He said: "I was young and thinking of starting a family. I could not be passive about this sword hanging over my head."
After five years of seeking out key surgeons and experts in technology, Mr Yaron had the rest of the tumour removed during a conventional operation - with good results.
But this epic search for better surgical options continued to play on his mind. He kept thinking of and experimenting with ways to do brain surgery in a less invasive way.
And over the last few years he perfected a way to do surgery on the brain - in 3D.
In the last 25 years minimally invasive surgery has become commonplace for the relatively easy-to-reach areas of the body, such as keyhole surgery on the abdomen and womb. And more recently surgeons have been able to use scopes (tube-like instruments) in brain surgery too.
During these procedures a thin scope is inserted via a surgically-made or naturally-occurring port in the skin. A camera attached to the end of the scope relays images to a screen for the surgeon to see.
And surgical instruments are passed down the scopes to take samples of tissues or remove masses.
Early versions allowed surgeons to look at 2D images in standard definition, evolving over the last decade into more high definition systems.
Surgeons constantly translate these 2D images into 3D as they operate, much as we do when watching 2D television screens.
More recently 3D technology has become available for certain types of operation. But 3D brain surgery has been a much harder feat to achieve.
In neurosurgery the scopes need to be very small in diameter so they can pass through narrow ports such as the nose.
But most 3D scopes rely on two optical channels - each containing a single sensor. Each sensor collects two separate images that are then mixed together to give the appearance of three dimensions as a user looks at the screen - mirroring the way human eyes see.
It has so far proved difficult to make an instrument small enough that is able to produce the high-quality images neurosurgeons need.
But Mr Yaron says his team have cracked this puzzle by thinking laterally. Rather than copying human anatomy, their scope mimics the compound eye of a bee.
The scope contains a miniature sensor with hundreds of thousands of micron-sized elements, each looking in slightly different directions and mapping the surgical field from many different points.
Using software this is translated into images for the left and right eye. Using this single sensor system, Mr Yaron's company, Visionsense, have produced a scope small enough to operate on the brain.
Shahzada Ahmed from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham who carried out one of the first 3D endoscopic neurosurgical procedures in the UK says: "A bit like going to the movies, Avatar is a great movie in HD but it is an even better one in 3D.
"When I use the scope there is a better appreciation of depth and the pictures feel more real to me."
It also allows him to see his instruments in 3D, which he feels gives him a better understanding of where they are in relation to key parts of anatomy.
A number of studies are now being carried out to see if the 3D approach is better than commonly used 2D high definition systems.
Hani Marcus, a neurosurgeon at the Hamlyn Centre, Imperial College London recently compared the scope to conventional tools, using a model brain and surgeons who are novices to this endoscopic approach.
The study suggests the 3D aspect is beneficial - leading to a faster operation and subjective improvements in depth perception.
But Mr Marcus says it would be a mistake to automatically assume 3D is definitely better than 2D, and thinks further studies are needed.
There are a number of potential problems - surgeons who are already used to seeing 2D may find this approach hard to get used to.
And just as some people don't enjoy watching 3D films and feel slightly nauseous, the same may hold for some surgeons.
But for Mr Yaron, whose scope is now being used in the US and across Europe, this invention is the bright side of an issue that has been playing on his mind for many years.
He says: "If I hadn't had this accident I wouldn't have been able to offer this solution. And I really know how it feels to need options."

If Tube journeys are too fast, relative to going by road, then the model predicts an increase in the overall level of congestion.
This is because key locations outside the city centre, where people switch transport modes, become bottlenecks.
By contrast, New York's layout is such that faster trains will always help.
Reporting their findings in the journal Royal Society Interface, the researchers calculate that London's system would function best with underground trains travelling about 1.2 times faster than the average speed on the roads. This makes the optimum Tube speed approximately 13mph (21km/h); the current average is 21mph (33km/h).
Dr Marc Barthelemy, the paper's senior author, said it was a theoretical study and more data would be required to make specific recommendations.
"Giving exact numbers is a tricky thing," he told the BBC. "But the fact is that these networks are coupled to each other. Optimising something on one network can bring bad things on another network."
Transport for London (TfL) chose not to comment on the research.
Dr Barthelemy, a statistical physicist at the CEA research centre in Saclay, France, is fascinated by the interplay between coupled networks. And transport networks, such as the roads and train lines in his study, are becoming increasingly interconnected.
In a report on urban mobility published on Tuesday, the LSE Cities group at the London School of Economics describes a trend towards "multimodal" journeys, where travellers switch - for example - from train to bus or car.
This is partly driven by smartphones and apps which search for the fastest route, even if it involves a change or two. But in big, expansive cities like London, multimodal trips are inevitable, Dr Barthelemy said.
"In London there's a clear increase in the number of modes with distance," he explained. "It's a very clear effect."
To test how these different transport networks can affect each other, he and his colleagues built computer models based on the exact structure of the road and underground train networks of both London and New York.
Then, they connected these two layers based on the proximity between streets and subway stations. "We create these connections, and then we make an assumption, which is: When someone wants to go from A to B, they look for the quickest path - whatever the mode."
Using this relatively simple system, the researchers measured various aspects of the "connectedness" of different points in the two networks.
This painted a distinctive picture of how they function together; the underground network, for example, tends to decrease congestion centrally but increase it where the underground lines finish.
And there were key differences between London and New York. "Surprisingly enough, the network in New York is much more centralised than the one in London," Dr Barthelemy said.
This means that, according to the model, levels of congestion in downtown Manhattan are so high that the city would benefit from faster trains "even if that increases the congestion at some peripheral points - the entry points to the subway".
In London however, those bottlenecks tip the balance in favour of a compromise on train speed - with possible planning implications.
"Maybe making Crossrail as fast as possible isn't the best solution in terms of global congestion," Dr Barthelemy commented.
This study is based entirely, however, on a model which includes no passenger data from the transport system itself - as Prof Michael Batty, a planning expert at University College London, pointed out:
"It really is just a network model. There are no capacities on the network - it's not really a flow model, like the ones that Transport for London actually use."
Nonetheless, Prof Batty said the findings were perfectly plausible. "If you join networks together, then you get unanticipated effects," he said.
"I think the point they're making is well worth considering."
The problem of interacting networks probably applies equally to the capital's distinct, overlapping train networks, he said.

Scientists from Heriot Watt University will be on hand to encourage the children to learn about science and consider it as a future career.
The open event at St Mary's School starts on Friday evening and runs throughout Saturday.
Michael Hastie-Davies was injured at HMP Parc in Bridgend in August 2016.
David Potts, 25, of Coity, denies grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent and GBH.
Co-defendant Nathan White, 28, of Maesteg, denies assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault against another prisoner.
The alleged offences happened during an operation in which nine officers carrying shields entered the prison yard to remove Hastie-Davies and two others who had refused to come back inside.
Mr Potts told Newport Crown Court he started working at the prison as a health care assistant before becoming a prison officer.
He said he was immediately assigned to a high-risk unit for prisoners at risk of self-harm, despite most officers requiring two years' experience "on the landings" before working in such an area.
He was then moved to the Phoenix Unit, for prisoners who had caused trouble.
'Tornado shout'
He said: "I thought I had a good relationship with prisoners, obviously I did not get on with everyone like out in the community.
"We would work out the issues and get them back up to the wings as quick as possible."
He told the jury there should have been four officers on duty on the unit, but on the day of the alleged offences, there was only three.
When he reported it, he was told to "manage as best we could".
He said he was with Hastie-Davies and two other inmates on the exercise yard when he heard a "fire indication" on his radio.
He said it was not ideal to leave prisoners on the yard but added: "If the fire wasn't on my wing I would not have responded. I was the only member of the team with a working radio that day."
While dealing with the fire, which another inmate started in his cell, he said he became aware the three prisoners on the yard were refusing to come in.
He said he was told by a senior manager to get his control and restraint kit and, as far as he knew, this was a "proper tornado shout", meaning all other avenues of clearing the yard had failed.
The trial continues.
The 27-year-old, aiming to retain his place for the Test series against Sri Lanka later this month, hit 10 fours and a straight six off Ollie Rayner.
Toby Roland-Jones bowled Hales as he attempted a drive, ending a 107-run third-wicket stand with Michael Lumb.
England seamer Steven Finn then claimed two late wickets as Notts closed on 345-7, with Samit Patel well set on 86.
Finn, who is looking to return to the England set-up after injury, struggled with his pace early on and was wayward, leaking 46 runs from his first eight overs.
In contrast, Tim Murtagh, who trapped Steven Mullaney lbw with the fifth ball of the match, and Roland-Jones - who also claimed the wickets of Greg Smith and Riki Wessels - made good use of the ball in the morning session.
Lumb's valuable 78 was ended when he was trapped in front by Rayner, but Patel followed up with his third half-century of the Championship season.
The second new ball brought joy for Finn, as the extra lift saw Chris Read caught by Nick Compton at gully and then Stuart Broad edge to third slip in his next over.
But Patel remained in an attacking mood, dispatching the Middlesex bowlers to the boundary 11 times as he finished just 14 short of his century.
The iOS 9.3 update caused some older versions of the phones and tablets to require the IDs and passwords previously used to set them up.
Many people complained that their machines had become unusable because they had forgotten or did not know the details.
Apple has detailed a workaround.
It has also stopped vulnerable devices being able to download the software and begun issuing new versions of the operating system - which ditch the ID check - for affected machines.
"In some cases, if customers do not recall their password, their device will remain in an inactivated state until they can recover or reset their password," Apple said in a statement.
"For these older devices, we have temporarily pulled back the update and will release an updated version of iOS 9.3 in the next few days that does not require this step."
Dozens of users complained about the problem on Apple's community forum saying their handsets and tablets had been "bricked" after installing the update.
The tech firm has since acknowledged that the issue affected its iPhone 5S and earlier smartphones as well as its iPad Air and earlier tablets.
As a solution, Apple suggested that users remove the activation lock by signing into their iCloud account's Find My Phone function or by connecting their device to a computer and entering their current Apple ID details into iTunes.
But some users will still face problems if their current account had not been linked to the device and they still want to keep data stored on it.
One iPhone owner who inherited an iPhone from a deceased partner has reported still being unable to bypass the lock, as has someone who bought the device from a seller that they were no longer in contact with.
Under such circumstances, Apple says people need to contact its support team for further aid.
Chief Constable Sue Sim said the force had offered support "far in excess of any legal duty" to David Rathband.
At an inquest in Newcastle, coroner Eric Armstrong found Mr Rathband, who was shot by Raoul Moat in 2010, took his own life in February 2012.
The 44-year-old's family said they would "continue with David's litigation" against the force.
PC David Rathband was found hanged in Blyth, in Northumberland, in February 2012, 19 months after being shot as he sat in his patrol car.
The inquest had heard he had threatened to kill himself after being injured.
Mr Armstrong said he was "drawn inescapably to the conclusion that David intended to take his own life" and that he did not believe Mr Rathband's actions were a "cry for help" because he had locked his door, leaving the key in the lock.
He told the inquest that Mr Rathband's colleagues and friends may, "with the benefit of hindsight, form the view that they wish they could have done something else".
However, he said such things should not be dwelled on as they had taken decisions "which at the time seemed appropriate and were justified".
Mr Rathband had been pursuing legal action against Northumbria Police claiming he should not have been in a patrol car alone when a gunman was on the rampage.
After the hearing, Ms Sim said the coroner had been "satisfied that David took his own life" and "did not criticise any individual or organisation".
"I gave David my personal commitment that, should he wish to do so, he could return to Northumbria Police as a police officer," she said.
"There have been criticisms levelled at Northumbria Police during the inquest by some of David's family.
"We fully understand the family's grief at David's death but we must refute any suggestion that we failed to support David or that the support we provided was inadequate.
"Such allegations are totally without justification. We provided the highest level of financial, welfare and rehabilitation support to David, far in excess of any legal duty."
Outside the inquest, Mr Rathband's sister Debbie Essery said he had "suffered horrific, life-changing injuries which he fought bravely and with courage and dignity, trying to come to terms with a life of pain and darkness".
"The loss of David has devastated our family. We will never be able to come to terms with this."
She added that the family would "now continue with David's litigation against Northumbria Police for the benefit of David's children".
Mrs Rathband's estranged wife Kath, who had told the three-day inquest their marriage ended after her husband's affair with 7/7 London bomber survivor Lisa French, asked for privacy.
In a statement read by lawyer Philip Davison, she said the attack by Moat had changed her family's lives "irrevocably".
"David fought so hard to come to terms with the devastating injuries and the effect it had on us all as a family.
"Whilst I have lost David, he has left me with two amazing children and he would be immensely proud of them and what they have achieved, as I am."
Following the shooting, Mr Rathband set up the Blue Lamp Foundation, which supports emergency services workers injured in the line of duty, and has so far raised more than £400,000.
Sharon Ashurst, from the charity, described him as "incredibly inspirational" and "fun to be around".
Doors Open Day, on Saturday 24 September, will see the vintage vehicles running between Lothian Road and Newhaven.
The buses will travel along the number 16 route with a stop at Lothian Buses central depot in Annandale Street.
Passengers will then be able to see behind the scenes at the central depot.
Doors to the depot will be open between 12:00 and 16:00.
However, the vintage buses will be running every 10 minutes between 09:00 and 18:00, passengers will be able to travel on a fleet of vintage buses along Princes Street, St Andrew Square, York Place and Leith Walk to Newhaven.
Normal Lothian Buses fares will be accepted on the vintage vehicles.
At the depot there will be a display of new and vintage buses and people will be able to sit on a double-decker bus while it goes through a bus wash.
Richard Hall, Lothian Buses managing director, said: "We are really excited to be able to offer trips on vintage buses as part of our Doors Open Day programme this year.
"We hope that by giving people this rare opportunity to travel back in time on these special services, it will add to what is already a very popular event in Edinburgh."
The event will also have face painting, a bouncy castle and the chance to sit in the bus drivers seat. | Wales men secured promotion to the top tier of European hockey with a dramatic win over France in Glasgow.

Usually viruses known as ransomware decrypt files when victims have paid a substantial fee.
But one variant of Power Worm destroys keys that could help recover any data that it scrambled.
The news comes as hackers produce ransomware that is aimed at websites and encrypts data sitting on servers.
Power Worm infects Microsoft Word and Excel files but the latest poorly written update of it goes after many more types of data files it finds on a victim's machine.
Malware researcher Nathan Scott discovered the variant and uncovered the mistakes its creator made when updating it.
Mr Scott believes the errors arose when the creator tried to simplify the decryption process. They tried to make it use just one decryption key but mangled the process of generating it. As a result, there is no key created for the files it encrypts when it compromises a computer.
"There is unfortunately nothing that can be done for victims of this infection," wrote malware researcher Lawrence Abrams on the Bleeping Computer tech news website. "If you have been affected by this ransomware, your only option is to restore from a back-up."
Mr Abrams said anyone hit by Power Worm should not pay the 2 bitcoin (about £500) ransom it asks for because they will not get any data back.
Ransomware is proving increasingly popular with hi-tech thieves and one group has now extended its list of potential targets to web servers that run Linux.
Russian anti-virus firm Dr Web has discovered a novel ransomware variant called Linux.encoder that tries to infect sites via add-ons such as shopping systems that many of them use.
Once it lands on a server, the software encrypts any files, images, pages, scripts and stored source code it finds on the machine's main and back-up directories. Linux.encoder leaves behind a text file detailing how victims can pay the 1 bitcoin ransom required to recover their data.
"In the volume cybercrime space, ransomware is one of the most prolific problems we face," said Greg Day, chief security officer for Europe at Palo Alto Networks.
"Credit card theft is getting to the point where the value of each card is very low. As a result ransomware has stepped into that gap and gives a higher value for each victim."
Research by Palo Alto Networks and industry partners suggests the well-known Crypto Wall family of ransomware has generated about $325m (£215m) for the gang behind it.
"The return is so much better," Mr Day said. "That's why it's escalated to such a level."
He said regularly backing up data would help people and companies avoid having to pay criminals if they got caught out by ransomware. | Coding mistakes in a malicious program that encrypts data mean anyone hit by the Power Worm virus will not be able to recover files, say security experts. | 34,765,484 | 620 | 37 | false |
Residents of Beit Jala - a town along the planned barrier route - made the appeal at an open-air mass among centuries-old olive trees on Friday.
They have also been waging a long legal battle, backed by the Vatican.
The barrier will separate over 50 families from their land - but Israel says it is a vital security measure.
An earlier attempt to pray at the site of Friday's mass had resulted in scuffles between Israeli border police and worshippers and priests.
At the start of the week, Israel's defence ministry began to prepare an area at the entrance to the Cremisan Valley for an expansion of the barrier.
Locals protested as some of the trees were removed by bulldozers and others were cut down.
The mayor of Beit Jala has written to diplomats from the European Union and the United States, asking them to put political pressure on Israel not to continue.
"We want people outside to come and say 'enough is enough'," says the mayor, Nicola Khamis. "Christians all over the world must stop being silent."
"What Israel is doing here is against peace. It will prevent a two-state solution [to the conflict]."
Last year, Pope Francis met residents who stand to lose access to their land in the Cremisan Valley, when he visited nearby Bethlehem.
Foreign dignitaries have also expressed their concerns to Israeli authorities, listing the separation barrier among pressures that are pushing Christians to leave the Holy Land.
Israel says the barrier is needed in the valley as a security measure to protect the Jewish settlements of Gilo and Har Gilo.
Settlements are considered illegal under international law, although Israel disagrees.
Construction of the Israeli barrier began in 2002, during the second Palestinian intifada or uprising, after a series of suicide attacks.
In the Beit Jala area, at this time, there was shooting at the settlements.
Palestinians believe the ultimate aim of the barrier - which includes stretches of high concrete walls and barbed-wire fences - is to grab land.
Much of it has been built inside the occupied West Bank on land Palestinians want for a future independent state.
In April, Israel's High Court appeared to rule against proposed routes for the barrier in the Cremisan Valley, a local beauty spot filled with olive groves and orchards.
However, the court later said this prevented work only in a small area near a Salesian convent and school, and a monastery and winery.
Local church leaders - Latin Catholic and Greek Orthodox - have been involved in the campaign to prevent the construction of the barrier.
"When you kill the olive trees, you kill the people here," said the Catholic priest, Faisal Hijazin, during the mass. "We pray for God to protect the olive trees, the land and the people."

The sentences were as follows:
Those jailed were found guilty by jury after a series of trials at Birmingham Crown Court.
They were part of a 14-strong gang involved in organising two thefts and an attempted theft at Durham University Oriental Museum as well as further incidents at Gorringes Auction House in Lewes, Norwich Castle Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
Jurors heard exhibits stolen in Durham and Cambridge were valued at about £17m but detectives believed they could have fetched up to £57m ($79m) on the "booming" Chinese auction market.
Six other members of the gang are expected to be sentenced on Tuesday.
A 14th gang member, Robert Gilbert-Smith, 27, of no fixed address pleaded guilty on 10 March 2015 and was sentenced to 15 months in jail on 27 April 2015.
Father Anthony McSweeney, 68, denies molesting three teenage boys at Grafton Close children's home in Hounslow, west London, between 1979 and 1981.
But he admitted being shown a child sex porn film by his close friend, the care home manager John Stingemore.
Fr McSweeney said he did not tell the police as it "did not occur" to him.
He also confessed to going to Amsterdam's notorious red light district with Mr Stingemore, where he bought gay porn.
Mr Stingemore, 72, was found dead weeks before the beginning of his trial.
The priest became emotional as he told how his secret pornography collection was discovered by his cleaner at his parish, St Peter's in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex in 1998. She alerted church authorities.
Fr McSweeney was threatened with being "banished" from the priesthood, but after about six months was moved to another parish in Norwich.
The priest, who is gay, said he was "ashamed" at his porn collection but just could not quit his porn habit.
Years later police found seven indecent images of boys on his laptop.
The former Scout leader regularly visited Grafton Close children's home, run by his friend Mr Stingemore, but denied abusing teenagers there.
He admitted being shown a child porn clip by Mr Stingemore but said no "alarm bells" rang and he did not alert the authorities.
Stephen Spence, defending, asked him: "Did it concern you that a man who ran a children's home might have a sexual interest in children?"
He replied: "Then, no. It didn't occur to me, I can't answer why. I suppose I was a bit surprised, a bit shocked and I just got rid of it."
"I just blanked it out, I guess. I didn't give it any more thought. I'm desperately ashamed."
The trial continues.
They said the "disheartening" results suggested the problem could snowball to affect future careers.
The study on 400 children, in the journal Science, initially found both five-year-old boys and girls thought their own gender was "brilliant".
But then only one year later, gender differences had emerged.
Girl Power: How can books empower young girls?
The team from Princeton University, New York University and the University of Illinois said it appeared stereotypes were starting to show.
Suspected influences include exposure to media, teachers, parents and other children.
The study put sets of five, six and seven-year-olds through different experiments.
In one, the children were read a story about someone who is "really, really smart" but it is not clear who the story is about.
They then had to guess the protagonist from four pictures - two of men and two of women.
At age five, boys pick men and girls pick women around 75% of the time. But fast-forward a year to age six and boys are still picking men while girls are now slightly more likely to pick men too.
In another scenario, groups of children played a new board game.
But for some it was branded as "for children who are really, really smart" and for others it was described as "for children who try really, really hard".
Six and seven-year old girls were as likely as boys to enjoy the game for those who try, but much less likely to say they enjoy the game for smart children.
Prof Andrei Cimpian, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: "The message that comes out of these data is that young kids are exposed to the cultural notion that genius is more likely a male than a female quality.
"It's disheartening to see these effects emerge so early. When you see them, you realise how much of an uphill battle it's going to be."
His research has previously looked at academic careers associated with needing innate brilliance in order to succeed.
It argued that the higher people rated the need for genius - such as in physics or philosophy - the lower the number of women involved.
Prof Cimpian added: "Early on, society's stereotypes can create differences in trajectory.
"At five, six or seven you're not thinking about a career, but soon you're making decisions about what courses to take and what extracurriculars to take part in.
"Even if the difference starts small it can snowball into something a lot bigger."
Fellow researcher Dr Lin Bian advised parents and teachers to emphasise the importance of hard work.
She told the BBC: "[Studies suggest] that everyone does better when hard work is believed as the key to success.
"In our studies, girls might be particularly impacted by the messages focusing on 'hard work' - they became equally interested in playing the game as boys.
"Thus conveying the importance of hard work to success could protect and even promote young girls' interests."
The UK's Fawcett Society campaigns on the gender pay gap and argues early differences - blue and superheroes versus pink and princesses - is part of the problem.
Sam Smethers, the organisation's chief executive, said: "This is a massive issue and it is holding us all, but particularly girls, back.
"Our research found that young women experienced gender stereotypes at school and from an early age."

OpenDyslexic's characters have been given "heavy-weighted bottoms" to prevent them from flipping and swapping around in the minds of their readers.
A recent update to the popular app Instapaper has adopted the text format as an option for its users.
The font has also been built into a word processor, an ebook reader and has been installed on school computers.
The project was created by Abelardo Gonzalez, a New Hampshire-based mobile app designer, who released his designs onto the web at the end of last year.
"I had seen similar fonts, but at the time they were completely unaffordable and so impractical as far as costs go," he told the BBC.
"I figured there's other people who would like the same thing but had the same issues, and so I thought I'd make an open source one that everyone could contribute to and help out with.
"The response has been great: I've had people emailing saying this is the first time they could read text without it looking wiggly or has helped other symptoms of dyslexia."
The 28-year-old released OpenWeb - a free web browser based on the font - on Apple's iOS app store earlier this year.
He then used online adverts to publicise his invention on a series of related sites.
Several developers who heard about the innovation subsequently jumped on board, including the creator of Dox on Box, an e-reader for iPads; and the makers of Wordsmith, a stylised word processor for Mac computers.
Users have also installed the font onto Android devices, allowing it to be used across a range of software, and the jailbreak community has also enabled adapted iOS devices to install it to permit similar functionality on Apple's mobile devices .
However, the inclusion of the font in Instapaper last week is perhaps the clearest sign yet that it is going mainstream.
The program - which allows users to save versions of webpages so that they can be read offline - has about two million registered accounts.
The app's developer Marco Arment said he had first looked for a dyslexia-optimised font two years ago, but had failed to find one until he discovered OpenDyslexic.
"Given what Instapaper does - capture any web page and present it in a consistent, adjustable, customer-controlled environment - it's a natural fit for bringing improved accessibility and legibility to anyone who needs it," he wrote on his blog.
Mr Gonzalez said he had also been contacted by The Kildonan School - which specialises in teaching children with dyslexia - to tell him it had started testing the font with its pupils.
He added that he had also heard from other teachers in the US and UK who were using the product in a less formal capacity.
Although he is happy to see the font spread organically, Mr Gonzalez said he was also trying to encourage some of the major tech firms to support it.
"Sony and Amazon have said they would consider it for their e-readers," he said.
"Google is also hopefully going to publish a version to its web fonts directory which would make it really easy to integrate it onto websites without administrators having to upload it to their servers."
According to the British Dyslexia Association (BDA), about 4% of the UK's population has a severe form of the disability. The campaign group welcomed the innovation's spread.
"As a dyslexic, I find this font very easy to read and reduces the effects of visual stress that I experience," said Arran Smith, the group's project officer.
"I especially like the spacing between letters, as it is even and regular, which is also recommended within the BDA Style Guide."
There has not been a scientific study to support whether OpenDyslexic works. However, a study by the University of Twente into a similar font - Dyslexie - suggested that it did help decrease some specific types reading errors, but did not improve reading speed.
However, the paper acknowledged further research was needed.
The local authority is responsible for about 2,200 bridges and culverts and more than 1,000 walls on its 4,195 miles (6,752km).
It has the most road structures and the longest road network of Scotland's 32 local authorities.
It is having to spend £350,000 on improvements to four bridges.
They are Struy, Achfary, Blackburn and Coronation.
Community services committee chairman Allan Henderson said: "We have a huge number of bridges across our road network in the Highlands and many of these are vital to connect local communities, particularly in rural areas.
The council continually has to prioritise where limited resources can be allocated to carry out essential repairs.
He added: "Recognising the importance of our roads across the Highlands, it is our intention to propose a significant programme of investment in our roads and bridges for agreement at council in December."
Lawyer Don West said he was sprayed with glass when the bullet pierced a car window but that he was not struck by the bullet, as local media reported.
"His injuries would be considered minor," he added.
The fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Martin stirred debate over Florida's "Stand Your Ground" gun laws.
Since then, Mr Zimmerman has had several run-ins with law enforcement, including two incidents where he faced allegations of assault by girlfriends, and his wife who claimed he smashed her iPad.
Charges in those cases were dropped or not pursued because of a lack of evidence.
The latest incident happened in the Orlando suburb of Lake Mary on Monday.
"LMPD has responding [sic] to a shooting involving George Zimmerman," the Lake Mary Police Department tweeted from its verified account.
Zimmerman was admitted to hospital and then released.
He may know who is behind the shooting and is co-operating with police, said Mr West.
Akash Mukherjee of Kolkata (Calcutta) had saved more than 3,500 rupees ($54; £36) for buying a gift for his parents and getting a new football for himself.
He says he changed his plans after watching the plight of the quake survivors on TV.
More than 7,000 people died in the magnitude 7.8 earthquake. More than 14,021 people were injured.
"When I watched the pictures on TV of children of my age starving and staying out in the open, it really hurt me," Akash said.
"I had some savings in a clay piggy bank that I had collected over two years. So I decided to give the money to them."
His parents visited the Nepalese consulate in the city, where Akash handed over his piggy bank to the officials.
"The consul came out and hugged by son. He said how much money my son was donating was not important. But that a boy of his age could even think of this was really great," his father Gora Mukherjee, who works with a multinational company, said.
It took almost an hour for the consulate officials to count the money after breaking the piggy bank because the coins were of really small denominations, he said.
"The consulate requested us to deposit the money in a bank. It was almost closing time when we reached the bank. But when the officer heard the purpose, he was more than eager to cooperate," Mr Mukherjee said.
This isn't the first time Akash has donated for a cause.
He has acted in a film and handed over his earnings to Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity.
"He has been donating since his fifth birthday. We have tried to instil a habit of giving to the needy since his childhood," his mother Manisha Mukherjee said.
Now that his savings are gone, how would Akash buy a gift for his parents or buy himself a football?
"That can wait. It may take some point to fill up a new piggy bank."
Somebody has already gifted him a new clay piggy bank - and Akash has begun saving again.
UKIP formed in 1993, but in its early days was overshadowed by the well-financed Referendum Party, led by Sir James Goldsmith, which was wound up soon after the 1997 election.
Since then it has made gains at successive European elections, winning its first three seats in 1999 and going on to become the UK's biggest party at the European Parliament in 2014.
The party has, as its name implies, one key policy - to leave the European Union.
But it is also a message which meant people often dismissed it as a single-issue party, unlikely to transfer its success to Westminster politics.
It has made an effort to broaden its appeal, championing a British exit from the EU as the answer to a whole range of issues, notably controlling immigration.
They have also outlined plans to cut taxes for middle earners, defended grammar schools, opposed gay marriage and criticised wind turbines.
Before last year, it had only ever had one MP: Bob Spink, who briefly sat as a UKIP MP after a row with his local Conservative Party.
But all that changed when Conservative MP Douglas Carswell defected in August 2014 and stood down, triggering a by-election in his Clacton constituency which he won.
Later, Rochester and Strood MP Mark Reckless followed suit and was re-elected for UKIP in the same way.
Leader Nigel Farage and the party's other elected representatives have at times got into trouble for speaking their minds, which has helped bolster their image as an anti-establishment party.
The leader has sought to "professionalise" the party and pledged to be "utterly ruthless" in dealing with some of the party's candidates who, as he put it, "step over the line".
UKIP will be hoping to hold on to its two seats on 7 May and add to its tally to allow it to play a part in any power-sharing talks in the event of a hung-Parliament.
Mr Farage himself is running in South Thanet in Kent, and has said it will be "curtains" for him if he fails to get elected to Westminster.
Divers found a body "intact" that they believe to be the two-year-old, who was dragged into the water on Tuesday evening in front of his family.
Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said the missing boy's name was Lane Graves from Nebraska.
After the attack, five alligators were seized and killed in an attempt to find the boy's remains.
The body found in the water has yet to be formally identified but police are confident it is Lane's.
Earlier on Wednesday, police said there was "no question" the boy was dead.
Some 50 people were using sonar equipment to search a system of lakes and ponds linked by canals to the Seven Seas Lagoon where the boy was attacked while wading in shallow water.
The family with three children from Elkhorn in Nebraska were relaxing near the shore of the lagoon when the incident happened.
There is a "no swimming" sign on the man-made lagoon but although the boy was on the edge of the water, there was no indication he was swimming, Mr Williamson said earlier.
His father sustained minor lacerations to his arm in the attempt to retrieve his child, he added.
No signs around the lagoon warn visitors about the presence of alligators, a situation which a Disney spokesperson told Reuters news agency would be reviewed.

The 23-year-old was Dagenham's top scorer in League Two with eight goals as they were relegated.
Forest Green, who lost the National League promotion final, have also added defender Jon Moran from Nantwich Town on a contract until 2018.
"I want to score 20-plus goals," Doidge told the club website.
"I want to top score in this league - that's my target - if I don't score that many I'll be very disappointed."
Moran, who can play centre-back or right-back, added: "Ambition has brought me here - every young kid wants to get as high as they can and I know that Forest Green can take me there."
The pair are Mark Cooper's first signings since becoming Forest Green manager in May.
Meanwhile, Cooper has appointed Scott Lindsey as his assistant, with Steve Hale becoming goalkeeping coach and Tom Huelin coming in as fitness coach - all three joining from Swindon.
Players from both countries wore black armbands bearing a poppy during England's 3-0 win at Wembley, with the game taking place last Friday.
Rules forbid "political" statements on shirts.
Fifa, world football's governing body, would not "speculate on any outcome or provide an estimated timeline".
The idea of players wearing a poppy was raised before the two nations met on 11 November, the day when the United Kingdom traditionally remembers those who have died in conflict.
According to the rule-making International Football Association Board (IFAB), which includes members of the four British football associations, players cannot wear "political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images".
The compromise of wearing a printed poppy on an armband was brokered for England's 1-0 friendly win over Spain at Wembley on 12 November, 2011.
In the same year, Scotland players wore poppies on armbands and on their tracksuits in a match against Cyprus.
However, world football's governing body would not specify before Friday's fixture whether England or Scotland would face punishment for doing so this time around.

MP Damian Collins - chair of the Culture, Media and Sport select committee - wrote to Fifa president Gianni Infantino asking the world governing body to reconsider its decision.
English Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn said players from both sides would wear black armbands carrying the poppy "as a point of principle".
He also said the FA would contest any charge or punishment, claiming its legal case was "rock solid".
Meanwhile, chief executive of the Scottish Football Association Stewart Regan said before the match it was prepared to challenge any Fifa sanction imposed.
Fifa says it reminded the four football associations of the rules - though the Football Association of Wales (FAW) said Fifa "turned down a request for the Wales national team to wear poppies on their shirts or on armbands".
The FAW said it could not risk a financial penalty or point deduction.
Fifa said it did not ban the display of poppies and that any such claim was "a distortion of the facts".
Football's rules are laid out by IFAB and any breach is dealt with by Fifa's disciplinary committee - which Fifa says is an independent body.
Fifa added it could not pre-judge what symbols would constitute a breach of rules.
However, its secretary general, Fatma Samoura, told BBC Sport last week: "We have to apply uniformly and across the 211 member associations the laws of the game.
"Britain is not the only country that has been suffering from the result of war."
Fifa recently opened disciplinary proceedings over the Republic of Ireland's use of a logo to commemorate the centenary of the Easter Rising.
A points deduction is the most serious sanction available but a fine is considered to be more likely.
The British FAs would then have an opportunity to challenge that fine via Fifa's appeals process and a further chance to appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport - a course of action that would probably cost more than the fine.
Carlton Williams, 50, who now lives in Australia, beat his 2014 record by more than 340 reps.
He said he did it to "prove for once and for all that the Welsh people are physically, socially and spiritually superior".
Guinness World Records has now confirmed the new top score.
The construction worker said: "I didn't really feel that much pain, I got a shoulder injury - that was my biggest problem. After a while you just get used to it."
He completed the challenge at a gym in Margaret River, Western Australia, on 25 July, with the record ratified on 10 August.
A YouTube video captured the feat of Mr Williams, who is originally from Barry, Vale of Glamorgan.
The most push-ups completed in 24 hours is 46,001 - a record set by Charles Servizio, from the United States, in 1993.
A total of 670,000 Britons aged 15-24 have experimented with the substances at least once, it says in its 2013 World Drug Report.
It says there has been an alarming increase worldwide in new psychoactive substances, known as NPS.
The UK's crime prevention minister said the UK was addressing the threat.
Drawing on European Commission data from 2011 and United Nations population statistics, the World Drug Report says the UK is Europe's largest market "for legal substances that imitate the effects of illicit drugs".
But the use of mephedrone - also known as meow meow or M-CAT - has declined in England and Wales since it was banned in 2010, the report said.
Crime Prevention Minister Jeremy Browne said the UK is "leading the global effort to address the serious threat" from legal highs, "adapting and innovating" as new trends emerge.
"We have introduced temporary class drug orders, a swift legislative response to protect the public while our independent experts prepare advice. We are working with law enforcement agencies overseas to break down supply chains and reduce demand."
He added: "Our Forensic Early Warning System and the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs continue to closely monitor the prevalence and availability of these substances."
It said the 670,000 Britons aged between 15 and 24 who had experimented with such substances at least once was 23% of the EU total in 2011.
Close to 5% of people aged 15-24 in the EU have used NPS.
The world's biggest market for NPS is the United States, where use of these substances among youth "appears to be more than twice as widespread as in the European Union".
The UNODC said this is an alarming problem, as the substances have not been tested for safety and pose "unforeseen public health challenges".
"Sold openly, including via the internet, NPS…. can be far more dangerous than traditional drugs. Street names, such as spice, meow-meow and bath salts mislead young people into believing that they are indulging in low-risk fun," the report said.
It added that while the use of traditional drugs such as heroin or cocaine is globally stable, new psychoactive substances "are proliferating at an unprecedented rate".
And new substances are being identified all the time.
At the end of 2009, 166 NPS had been identified worldwide. By mid-2012 that had risen to 251.
"For the first time, the number of NPS exceeded the total number of substances under international control (234), " the report said.
The UNODC said authorities are struggling to keep up.
"Given the almost infinite scope to alter the chemical structure of NPS, new formulations are outpacing efforts to impose international control. While law enforcement lags behind, criminals have been quick to tap into this lucrative market."
Many of these new psychoactive substances appear to originate in Asia and are spread via the internet.
The report said the number of online shops offering to supply customers in countries in the EU with NPS increased from 170 in January 2010 to 693 in January 2012.
However the UNODC suggested in Europe, at least, the internet may be used more for the import and wholesale business.
It pointed to an EU survey which says most young consumers in Europe do not tend to buy NPS online, but get their supplies from friends or at parties and nightclubs.
Justice Tettey, from the UNODC, said that while the UK had "a large market in NPS", it had also successfully introduced legislation to bring some of the substances under control.
In 2010-2011, mephedrone was the second most widely misused substance in England and Wales, on a par with cocaine powder, according to the report.
But following an import ban and classification as a Class B substance, mephedrone use has declined, after years of increase.
"We have seen a decrease in use (in the UK) since the legislation got put in place," Mr Tettey said.
Blank ammunition and suspected cocaine worth £4,500 were also found during the search in Bryson Street on Friday.
A 22-year-old man was arrested.
He has been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Accountants BDO found occupancy fell year-on-year by 1% to 87.3% - higher than the rates recorded for England, Wales and regional UK.
Rooms yield stood at £65.90 in Scotland, well ahead of other UK areas.
Edinburgh and Glasgow had the highest occupancy in the UK, including London, at 92.1% and 91.6% respectively.
Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow experienced double-digit falls in revenue, but all three cities remained in the top 10 of anywhere in the UK.
Only Inverness bucked the trend by seeing revenue increase by 8.8% to £62.35 per room.
Alastair Rae, from BDO, said: "Aberdeen aside, the drop in revenue in Edinburgh and Glasgow is due to very high numbers last year when Edinburgh was basking in a late festival rush as well as multiple major conferences, while Glasgow was still on a post-Commonwealth Games high.
"The country is becoming an all-year-round destination through a combination of being a fantastic tourist destination coupled with a major conference, concert and business centre.
"So despite these falls in revenue, the hospitality sector must be feeling reasonably confident for the rest of the year.
"Aberdeen is, of course, the exception and is still coming to terms with the fall in oil prices which make the hospitality sector highly vulnerable to price fluctuations.
"I would expect this situation to continue for some time to come."
Brooks, 32, joined Yorkshire from Northants in 2012 and helped them win the County Championship title in 2014 and 2015.
"I wasn't looking to leave and I've had a really good time since I joined a few years ago," he said.
"I like playing with this set of lads, they've all been brilliant."
The bird may have honked, quacked or whistled, like a duck or goose.
Investigation of the oldest-known fossil of a bird's vocal organ - the syrinx - gives clues to how birdsong evolved.
The bird, Vegavis iaai, lived in what is now Antarctica about 66-68 million years ago. It belongs to the group that includes ducks, geese and swans.
Julia Clarke of the University of Texas at Austin said there had been virtually no work on the origin or early evolution of the unique way in which birds produce sound.
"While we've looked a lot at the evolution of the wing in birds," she said, "we have done very little with looking at the origin of what is perhaps one of the most striking characteristics of living birds - their songs."
Prof Clarke and her team scanned the fossil specimen using micro-CT, an X-ray scanning technique similar to hospital CT scans but on a smaller scale.
They made a 3D representation of the syrinx and then used another type of imaging that provides information on soft tissues to make comparisons with younger fossils and 12 living birds.
This allowed them to reconstruct the evolution of the tiny bony organ.
"We definitely think this voicebox is capable of honks or whistles," said Prof Clarke.
"But if we want to understand more precisely the frequency range or the variety of sounds, we'll have to build models and get more data from living ducks to constrain what might be the range of sounds produced by this structure."
Researchers think the syrinx may have arisen late in birds' evolution, well after the origin of flight.
No evidence for the syrinx had been found in non-avian dinosaurs.
The syrinx may be a relatively late arrival along the bird lineage, and in turn may have played a significant role in the diversification of birds, said Prof Patrick O'Connor of Ohio University.
"Their amazing diversity may in part be related to the evolution of the syrinx and any areas of the brain related to sound production and reception in the context of social interactions more generally," he explained.
Earlier this year, Prof Clarke's team deduced that some non-bird dinosaurs might have made a deep booming noise, giving a fuller picture of the sound landscape when dinosaurs roamed the planet.
"Larger-bodied animals like most non-bird dinosaurs are big and they're going to exhibit lower frequency sounds overall," she told BBC News.
"But then when we get the origin of flight and the origin of these smaller-bodied dinosaurs, including birds, then we think we're going to get open-mouthed sounds that are maybe a little bit jarring - quacks and honks and crows."
The oldest fossilised remains of a syrinx are described in a study published online in the journal, Nature.
The fossil was originally found by an expedition of scientists from the Argentine Antarctic Programme.

Although Kickstarter, the crowdfunding website, is about to launch in the UK, the team say the 10% commission it charges for its service is too high.
It will cost ??250,000 to build the steam-powered machine.
It was designed by Charles Babbage in the 1800s, and Ada Lovelace wrote mathematical "programmes" for it.
The project is named Plan 28 after the most complete of the 100 plans drawn up by Mr Babbage - although one single complete plan does not exist.
It has been registered as a charity, said John Graham-Cumming, who came up with the idea.
"We were going to use Kickstarter but the fees are high if you're a charity," he told the BBC and said that Gift Aid, where a charity can reclaim tax from a donation from a tax payer, was important to the project.
Mr Graham-Cumming said he was not planning to approach the government for funding.
During Mr Babbage's time he was given the equivalent of "two battleships" worth of funding from the government of the day to build the predecessor to the Analytical Engine, which he called the Difference Engine - but he failed to complete that either, much to the annoyance of officials.
"That didn't work out so well last time around," said Mr Graham-Cumming.
"You could say it was the first failed government IT project."
Babbage's handwritten notes and plans, which span thousands of pages, have now been fully digitised by the Science Museum in London.
The next step is to build a working 3D simulation of the machine, which is designed to be the size of a steam locomotive.
It will probably take up to three years to complete, said Mr Graham-Cumming.
"By then we might just be able to 3D print it," he said.
The value of building the Analytical Engines lies in its fundamental contribution to computer science, according to Mr Graham-Cumming.
"We are building an historical artefact," he said.
"We're not building it to try to compute on it - it is less powerful than the ZX81 [Sinclair computer from 1981]."
Other members of the team include Tim Robinson, who built a model of the machine out of Meccano pieces, and computer historian Dr Doran Swade.
But would Charles Babbage have approved?
"I can't decide whether he would be happy or exasperated that it has taken so long," said Mr Graham-Cumming.
The "model cities" project was backed by President Porfirio Lobo, who said it would attract foreign investment and create jobs
By 13 votes to one, Supreme Court judges decided that the proposal violated the principle of sovereignty.
Demonstrators celebrated the decision outside the court in Tegucigalpa.
"This is great news for the Honduran people. This decision has prevented the country going back into a feudal system that was in place 1,000 years ago," said lawyer Fredin Funez.
The government proposal to create some 20 "special development zones - as the new cities were officially called - was approved by Congress last year.
The Supreme Court has now ruled that the law approved in Congress is unconstitutional, as it violates the territorial integrity of Honduras, as well as the sovereignty of the government.
"I am sad. All the Congress wanted was to give jobs to all Hondurans," said Congress speaker Juan Orlando Hernandez.
An American company was expected to invest US$15m in the initial phase of construction of the first city, on the Caribbean coast, the AP news agency says.
President Lobo said thousands of jobs would be created in the impoverished Central American country,
Honduras also struggles with violence. It has the world's highest murder rate - 92 murders per 100,000 people - according to the UN.
The inspiration for his "model cities" were Singapore, Macao and Hong Kong, Mr Lobo said.
But the opposition has accused him of being a traitor and trying to sell the country to foreign companies.
Last month, well-known human rights lawyer Antonio Trejo was killed after speaking out against the project.
He was shot dead by unknown gunmen outside a church on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa.
Hours earlier Mr Trejo took part in a televised debate in which he accused politicians of using such projects to raise campaign funds.
They say bacteria that make an enzyme called NDM-1 have travelled back with NHS patients who went abroad to countries like India and Pakistan for treatments such as cosmetic surgery.
Although there have only been about 50 cases identified in the UK so far, scientists fear it will go global.
Tight surveillance and new drugs are needed says Lancet Infectious Diseases.
Q&A: NDM-1 superbugs
NDM-1 can exist inside different bacteria, like E.coli, and it makes them resistant to one of the most powerful groups of antibiotics - carbapenems.
These are generally reserved for use in emergencies and to combat hard-to-treat infections caused by other multi-resistant bacteria.
And experts fear NDM-1 could now jump to other strains of bacteria that are already resistant to many other antibiotics.
Ultimately, this could produce dangerous infections that would spread rapidly from person to person and be almost impossible to treat.
At least one of the NDM-1 infections the researchers analysed was resistant to all known antibiotics.
Similar infections have been seen in the US, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands and international researchers say that NDM-1 could become a major global health problem.
Infections have already been passed from patient to patient in UK hospitals.
The way to stop NDM-1, say researchers, is to rapidly identify and isolate any hospital patients who are infected.
Normal infection control measures, such as disinfecting hospital equipment and doctors and nurses washing their hands with antibacterial soap, can stop the spread.
And currently, most of the bacteria carrying NDM-1 have been treatable using a combination of different antibiotics.
By Geeta PandeyBBC News, Delhi
The Indian health ministry and the medical fraternity are yet to see the Lancet report but doctors in India say they are not surprised by the discovery of the new superbug.
"There is little drug control in India and an irrational use of antibiotics," Delhi-based Dr Arti Vashisth told the BBC.
Doctors say common antibiotics have become ineffective in India partly because people can buy them over the counter and indulge in self-medication. They also take small doses and discontinue treatment.
Gastroenterologist Vishnu Chandra Agarwal says in the past year he has come across many patients with E.coli infections who have not responded to regular antibiotics.
"In about a dozen cases, I have used a chemical - furadantin - to treat my patients. And it has worked. It makes them horribly nauseous, but it works," he says.
But the potential of NDM-1 to become endemic worldwide is "clear and frightening", say the researchers in The Lancet infectious diseases paper.
The research was carried out by experts at Cardiff University, the Health Protection Agency and international colleagues.
Dr David Livermore, one of the researchers and who works for the UK's Health Protection Agency (HPA), said: "There have been a number of small clusters within the UK, but far and away the greater number of cases appear to be associated with travel and hospital treatment in the Indian subcontinent.
"This type of resistance has become quite widespread there.
"The fear would be that it gets into a strain of bacteria that is very good at being transmitted between patients."
He said the threat was a serious global public health problem as there are few suitable new antibiotics in development and none that are effective against NDM-1.
The Department of Health has already put out an alert on the issue, he said.
"We issue these alerts very sparingly when we see new and disturbing resistance."
The National Resistance Alert came in 2009 after the HPA noted an increasing number of cases - some fatal - emerging in the UK.
The Lancet study looked back at some of the NDM-1 cases referred to the HPA up to 2009 from hospitals scattered across the UK.
At least 17 of the 37 patients they studied had a history of travelling to India or Pakistan within the past year, and 14 of them had been admitted to a hospital in these countries - many for cosmetic surgery.
For some of the patients the infection was mild, while others were seriously ill, and some with blood poisoning.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We are working with the HPA on this issue.
"Hospitals need to ensure they continue to provide good infection control to prevent any spread, consider whether patients have recently been treated abroad and send samples to HPA for testing.
"So far there has only been a small number of cases in UK hospital patients. The HPA is continuing to monitor the situation and we are investigating ways of encouraging the development of new antibiotics with our European colleagues."
The Welsh Assembly Government said it would be "fully considering" the report.
"The NHS in Wales is used to dealing with multi-resistant bacteria using standard microbiological approaches, and would deal with any new bacteria in a similar way," said a spokesperson.
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar has appointed consultants to look into the plan for the Outer Hebrides Energy Supply Company and a community tariff.

The 26-year-old was sentenced for conspiracy to defraud by obtaining bank details and transferring money.
Shrimpers chairman Ron Martin said the club need to assess "the impact of this startling, unexpected, outcome".
Ex-Newcastle and Swindon forward Ranger joined Southend last summer, and signed a contract until 2020 in December.
Ranger - who committed the offence in February 2015 - scored eight goals in 28 appearances for Phil Brown's Southend last season.
Before joining Southend in August 2016, Ranger had not played a competitive game for almost two years, during which he spent seven months absent from Blackpool that he put down to being distracted following death of two friends.
Southend boss Brown said before signing him that Ranger was in the "last-chance saloon" during a one-month "test period" at Roots Hall.
Ranger was also subject to a Football Association investigation this season, unrelated to the criminal sentence.
Following the result of the hearing at Wood Green, Martin's statement continued: "As I have said previously, this offence occurred long before Nile joined the club and everyone deserves a second chance, which the club has afforded Nile.
"Nile Ranger is unlikely to ever be a model professional, however during his time at Southend his behaviour has been acceptable and improved.
"We have worked hard at rehabilitation and Nile has responded well to his team mates both on and off the pitch.
"At the time of writing, the club is awaiting details of the court hearing and will review the details before coming to any decision surrounding Nile's future."

United beat Hull City 2-0 in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on Tuesday thanks to second-half goals from Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini.
However, Mourinho said everyone must improve against Liverpool.
"It's a special match for us," he said.
"If we play enthusiastic football the fans come to the pitch and play with us. When we don't play with great intensity it is normal that the fans are not so vocal.
"But we have absolutely amazing fans, fans who push us and get behind us.
"Everybody likes big games - players, managers, fans. Everyone loves big matches so let's go for that one on Sunday."
United host Liverpool (16:00 GMT) looking to extend their run of successive wins to 10 in all competitions.
Liverpool have lost just twice all season, their last defeat a 4-3 loss at Bournemouth on 4 December.
Jurgen Klopp's men are second in the Premier League, five points ahead of United in sixth and the same distance behind leaders Chelsea.
United were without 13-goal striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic against Hull because of illness, but Mourinho said the Swede should return on Sunday.
"Zlatan is ill so I think no problem for Sunday," he said. "I think he will be fine."
Officials did not give details of the judgement, but hinted at a conviction.
A judiciary official said late on Sunday that the verdict could be appealed, suggesting Mr Rezaian had been found guilty.
Jason Rezaian, 39, has been detained in Iran for more than a year. The Post has dismissed the charges as absurd.
Appearing on state TV on Sunday, judiciary spokesman Gholamhoseyn Mohseni-Ezhei said: "He [Jason Rezaian] has been convicted, but I don't have the verdict's details."
He added: "The time for an appeal is not yet over. So the court waits and if it doesn't receive an appeal... the verdict becomes final."
Mr Mohseni-Ezhei said Mr Rezaian and his lawyer were eligible to appeal the conviction within 20 days.
The Washington Post foreign editor, Douglas Jehl, called the ruling "vague" and said it was unclear if Mr Rezaian had been sentenced.
"We've now heard from the Iranian government today's [Sunday] announcement that a verdict has been issued in Jason's case, but that it's not final and that it's subject to appeal.
"That's really all we know, and unfortunately it reflects a continued pattern of mystery, opacity and gamesmanship surrounding the way Iran has handled this case.
"The only thing that's been clear from the beginning is Jason's innocence. Everything else has been under a real shadow of darkness."
Mr Rezaian faces 10 to 20 years in prison.
Mr Rezaian, his wife, who is also a journalist, and two photojournalists were arrested in July 2014 in Iran. Mr Rezaian was the only one of the group not to be released.
The Post's Tehran bureau chief since 2012, he was charged with espionage and distributing propaganda against the Islamic Republic.
He is a dual Iranian-American citizen and was tried in four hearings behind closed doors, the last of which was held in August.
Tom Bradby described in a series of tweets how he dived in after the man but "couldn't get him out".
The father-of-three, who was in Rafina on a family holiday, said he believed the man had committed suicide.
The Rafina Port Authority in Greece confirmed a man had died after his car went off the wall.
A spokeswoman said the incident happened at about 16:30 local time, but would give no further details.
Mr Bradby, who is ITV's political editor, said he was "shaking with shock and anger" after complaining that officials nearby did not do more to help.
He claimed that of the nine or 10 officials on the quay, one went in to try to get the driver out as the car sank, and "the rest watched".
Bradby, 48, has been announced as the new host of ITV's News at Ten.
He was previously a royal correspondent, and secured the first official interview with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after their engagement.
Simon Kirby will take up the role of chief operating officer, reporting to chief executive Warren East.
Mr Kirby has earned a reported £750,000 salary at HS2, which will link London with the Midlands and northern England.
He said it had been a "huge honour" to work on the project, which critics say threatens swathes of countryside.
HS2 Ltd said it would miss Mr Kirby's "experience and leadership", while Rolls-Royce boss Mr East said the appointment would "strengthen management capability ahead of a period of significant expansion".
But Stop HS2 campaign manager Joe Rukin accused Mr Kirby of "getting out before the true scale of the mess he has presided over is realised".
"The departure of Simon Kirby will be a serious blow to those who champion HS2, though many of us are at a complete loss to see just exactly what it is he has done to justify his three-quarter of a million pay packet."
The first part of the HS2 project will link London and the West Midlands, carrying 400m-long (1,300ft) trains with up to 1,100 seats per train.
They will operate at speeds of up to 250mph - and would travel up to 14 times per hour in each direction.
This will be followed by a V-shaped second phase taking services from Birmingham to Manchester and Leeds.
Intermediate stations in the East Midlands and South Yorkshire are also planned.
They are the first team sports to be selected for a place at the Gold Coast.
The netball team retained eighth in the world rankings to book their spot alongside 11 other teams, while the rugby 7s side qualified in this year's World Rugby Sevens Series.
The women's rugby 7s team have also qualified after finishing fifth at the Kazan Sevens but are not yet confirmed.
"We look forward to announcing other Welsh team sports over the coming months as they qualify for Gold Coast," said Helen Phillips, chair of the Commonwealth Games Wales Board.
"Qualifying for the Gold Coast Games is down to the hard work and dedication of the players, their coaches and support staff at Welsh Netball and the Welsh Rugby Union."
Wales will send a team of around 150 athletes to the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia which will be held between 4-15 April.
Their target is to bring back more than 25 medals - the number they won in Auckland 1990, their best haul from a game outside the UK.
Team sports, weightlifting and para-sports places are determined by rankings, but under a new Commonwealth Games Federation policy individual athletes across other sports will be nominated by national governing bodies based on eligibility and performance criteria.
Emtelle Group, which has plants in Hawick and Jedburgh, makes plastic piping which encases underground fibre cables.
After working with BT for more than 30 years, it has secured a four-year contract extension.
Emtelle said the move would allow it to invest £10m in its sites in the Borders, which support about 300 jobs.
BT said the company had provided it with more than 50 million metres of duct, sub-duct and blown fibre in 2014.
It is a key supplier in BT's roll-out of high-speed fibre broadband across the UK.
Mads A Hogfeldt, chief executive of Emtelle Group, said: "Today is an exciting day for Emtelle. This reinforcement of our long-term relationship with BT will help us continue to grow our business and provide quality employment for more than 800 people, including 300 at our two manufacturing plants in Scotland.
"The relationship we have developed with BT over 30 years has provided a very stable platform for us to make long-term investments, drive down costs and develop business in key areas such as export to overseas markets.
"We are very proud to be helping Openreach to deliver one of the most significant civil engineering projects in Europe, creating a huge, high-speed digital platform for Scotland and the UK which will benefit generations to come."
The two Welsh New Year's Day derbies are on Sunday as will Newport Gwent Dragons v Edinburgh on 27 November, the day after Wales' South Africa Test.
The move is because Welsh language channel S4C is moving the majority of its live games to a Saturday night.
Ospreys host Zebre in Scrum V Live's opening game of the season on 2 September while Dragons are at Ulster.
Scarlets host Munster the following day with Cardiff Blues welcoming Edinburgh on Y Clwb Rygbi on S4C.
There will also be one additional Sunday game on 27 November, when the Dragons face Edinburgh live on S4C to avoid a clash with the Wales v South Africa Test, as well clashes on New Years Day.
Welsh regional fans must wait until October to see the first derbies of the campaign.
Ospreys v Blues on 7 October is the first, before Scarlets entertain Dragons the following day.
Dragons visit Cardiff Blues on Boxing Day, while Ospreys welcome Scarlets a day later.
On New Year's Day, Scarlets are at home against Blues with Ospreys heading to Rodney Parade to play the Dragons.
Judgement Day, in which the four Welsh teams play at Principality Stadium in Cardiff is on Saturday, 15 April when Blues meet Ospreys and Dragons face Scarlets.
The regular season will culminate on Saturday, 6 May with all six games kicking off at 17:15 BST.
Play-off semi-finals take place on the weekend of 19-21 May with the final scheduled for the following weekend.
Scarlets finished fifth last season, the highest ranking of Wales' teams, to claim a place in the European Champions Cup.
Blues were seventh, Ospreys eighth and Dragons 10th in 2015-16 and they will all play in the second-tier European Challenge Cup in the coming term.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre said children were being "abused to order".
Offenders targeted vulnerable families overseas, paying them to facilitate child abuse, according to its report.
Ceop said those carrying out abuse used a "hidden internet" to disguise their identity and avoid detection.
The report found the number of still and moving child abuse images reported to Ceop had doubled in the last year to 70,000 - although this includes a "substantial" number of duplicated images.
The child protection body - part of Home Office's Serious Organised Crime Agency - said it received 8,000 reports of indecent images of children being shared last year.
It said live streaming emerged in 2012 as a means of producing and distributing images.
"We're seeing cases where they're effectively being abused to order for paying customers," chief executive Peter Davies told the BBC.
He said some of those exploiting children via the internet were in the UK, adding: "At every level an absolutely appalling kind of crime."
Children were forced to engage in sexual activity on live webcams in exchange for payment to the family or organised crime gangs, according to Ceop's annual threat assessment of child exploitation and abuse .
Online video services such as Skype were identified as among those being exploited to transmit live images of abuse.
When information moves online, each computer's individual IP address is widely logged, potentially giving police a start in any investigation.
But some in the industry say tech-savvy paedophiles have turned to networks specifically designed to conceal the identity and location of their users.
Using a variety of technological tricks, so-called "dark nets" - Tor, I2P, Freenet and many others - hide the giveaway identifiers while allowing people to go on using the web.
Drugs, guns and credit card skimmers are openly on sale on these networks.
They are places where paedophiles, criminal hackers and professional thieves advertise their services.
However some see the hidden web as a force for good because it is used to avoid detection in many places where political protests are harshly suppressed.
Do dark networks aid cyberthieves and abusers?
Ceop said many abusers were hiding their actions deep in the "hidden internet" by using encrypted networks and other secure methods to distribute images. These methods made it harder for law enforcement agencies to trace abusers.
"The use of the hidden internet in the UK and beyond is expected to continue increasing throughout 2013, possibly reaching 20,000 daily UK users by the end of the year," said the report.
"Ceop assesses that the networking and sense of 'safe' community that occurs within the hidden internet and the relative sophistication of offenders within that environment stimulates the production of [indecent images of children] on both a commercial and non-commercial basis."
An NSPCC spokeswoman said evidence from police in England and Wales indicated there were 20,000 sexual offences against children every year.
"However, we believe this is far from the true situation as many cases are never revealed," said the spokesman.
Independent charity Victim Support, meanwhile, said the police service must "ask itself some searching questions".
"Its first priority is to prevent and detect crime," chief executive Javed Khan said.
There were "inconsistencies in the way forces collect, record and categorise child sex abuse offences", he added.
"It is essential that every dot is joined up if the most vulnerable in our society are to be protected.
"Every police force must therefore contribute fully and consistently to the national intelligence picture - only then will we have a true picture of the scale of the problem."
Policing and Criminal Justice Minister Damian Green said: "These figures are deeply troubling and show how our understanding of child sexual exploitation has greatly improved in recent years.
"But more needs to be done. Ceop is doing excellent work and we will see its capability strengthened when it is transferred to the National Crime Agency later this year.
"I am leading a new Home Office group which is urgently looking at how we better identify those at risk."
An estimated 50,000 UK web users are involved in distributing abuse images.
Joshua Nott, 23, has been branded a hypocrite on social media for accepting the £40,000 ($49,925) scholarship.
Mr Nott was a key figure in the Rhodes Must Fall movement at the University of Cape Town.
The campaigners called the British mining magnate a backward-looking symbol of racist colonialism.
Following a Twitter outcry in Spring 2015, they succeeded in their bid to have the Cape Town statue removed.
Students at Oxford University then mounted an unsuccessful campaign to remove a Rhodes statue at Oriel College, where the businessman was educated.
Oriel resisted the pressure after a consultation showed "overwhelming" support for keeping it.
Mr Nott, who compared the Cape Town statue to "a swastika in Jerusalem", will now receive tens of thousands from Rhodes' legacy.
The activist, who is the son of a wealthy South African lawyer, has been widely condemned on social media and accused of selling out.
While some branded him an "arrogant hypocrite", others questioned whether poorer South Africans might not be more deserving of a £40,000 scholarship.
But Mr Nott has said he will "never toast Cecil John Rhodes" and will use the opportunity to fight against the ideals that Rhodes represented.
He does not plan to participate in the anti-Rhodes movement while at Oxford.
The Rhodes Trust has defended its choice of candidate, praising Mr Nott's commitment to social justice.
A spokesman said: "We pick young people of enormous ability without regard to any particular political affiliation … Mr Nott has been involved in a wide range of social change initiatives. He made this clear."
Rhodes was a revered figure in the days of the British Empire, but some now view him as an imperialist who profited from South Africa's resources at the expense of the local people.
He believed that the English were naturally superior, and was once quoted as saying: "I contend that we are the first race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit, the better it is for the human race."
His sizeable trust was established at Oxford over a century ago to fund postgraduate awards for non-British students.
Previous Rhodes scholars include former US President Bill Clinton, former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, the astronomer Edwin Hubble, and country singer Kris Kristofferson.
Almost 8,000 Rhodes scholars have graduated from Oxford since the scheme was established in 1902. | Palestinian Christians are appealing for international support to oppose renewed construction of part of Israel's West Bank barrier.

John Millar, 67, claimed he was trying to end her suffering when he attacked Phyllis Millar, 65, at their home in Ravelston on 28 June 2009.
Mrs Millar, who has multiple sclerosis, denied claims by her husband that she said she wanted to die.
Millar will also be on licence for two-and-a-half years when he is released.
Millar was sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on Wednesday.
He attempted to smother his wife with a pillow.
On sentencing, Lady Smith said: "On 28 June 2009, far from acting in a caring fashion towards your wife, without provocation and for no apparent reason, you quite deliberately tried to kill her.
"Preying on her vulnerability, you picked up a pillow and held it over her face in an attack which lasted for about five minutes.
"Fortunately your wife was able to get one of her hands between her face and the pillow so as to enable her to breathe and to shout for you to stop. You eventually did so."
Mrs Millar, who relied on her husband to care for her, is now living in a nursing home.
The couple had known each other for 13 years and married in August 2008 after living together for some time in Ravelston Gardens. Mrs Millar had children from a previous marriage.
She thought the attack lasted about five minutes.
Millar himself dialled 999, telling police: "I tried to kill my wife."
While being questioned later, he told officers: "She would be dead and out of the way.
"When I say out of the way, you know, she would be, perhaps, not having to put up with, you know, her life and it was my life too, I suppose, really." | An Edinburgh pensioner who admitted attempting to murder his disabled wife has been jailed for four-and-a-half years. | 10,631,843 | 381 | 29 | false |
But the reality in Europe's poorest country is more complicated than that.
It is a political crisis.
The anti-government camp is demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Pavel Filip's government and early parliamentary elections.
They include two pro-Moscow groups and one pro-European group - the Dignity and Truth movement, led by Andrei Nastase.
They have put their differences aside, at least temporarily, and have given the government until Thursday to come up with a schedule for elections. Otherwise, they threaten to begin a campaign of civil disobedience.
At the heart of their demands, however, is a desire for sweeping change: to replace a political establishment, which they say is rotten with corruption and whose members are controlled by oligarchs.
The government's pro-European stance, they claim, is just a smokescreen to conceal this graft.
Last year, Moldova was rocked by what was for the country the mother of all scandals: more than €1bn (£710m) disappeared from three banks.
It was suspected that the money was embezzled. The loss also put a heavy strain on the financial system, since the €1bn represented about 14% of the country's GDP. Moldova's currency, the lei, was sharply devalued.
In the wake of the scandal, heads rolled:
But this unleashed another wave of outrage.
Pavel Filip's election was highly unorthodox, and may have violated protocol.
Deputies were suddenly called to vote within a couple of hours. Then Mr Filip was sworn in at midnight, seemingly in secret, since no media were invited.
Protesters stormed parliament, and more than 20,000 gathered on Sunday to demand that he resign immediately.
There is also some dispute about Pavel Filip's background.
Critics say he is closely connected to the country's richest man, Vladimir Plahotniuc, who they maintain is the main power broker behind the scenes, and in their eyes the man most responsible for official corruption.
"Moldova is a 'captured state' and Mr Plahotniuc is the symbol of this evil," said Oazu Nantoi, programme director at Chisinau's Institute of Public Policy.
"A 'captured state' is when key state structures don't act on the basis of law and constitution, but are under the control of one person."
Mr Plahotniuc denies he is a political puppet master.
For his part, Prime Minister Filip told the BBC he vehemently rejected any suggestion he was not a fully independent politician.
Members of the government say it is the protesters who are destabilising the country and pursuing their own political agendas. Mr Filip said new elections could plunge the country into an even deeper economic crisis.
Some observers see the hand of Moscow behind the protests.
Whatever the true nature of the country's politicians and the opposition, there is no denying that anger and discontent are rising among the population.
"We want an honest government, for decent pensions, where people aren't deceived and their money stolen," said Lyubov Suvorova, as she stood near Chisinau's main train station, trying to sell a few household goods to earn a few dollars.
"We want changes - we just don't believe that the protests are going to change anything," she added.
The great Moldovan bank robbery
Moldova country profile
Moldova's economy is based chiefly on agriculture and the country has struggled to develop a more varied economic base ever since the industrialised Dniester region unilaterally declared independence in 1990.
The region to the east of the river Dniester - also known as Trans-Dniester - is inhabited mainly by Russian-speaking Slavs who were alarmed at the prospect of Moldova forging closer ties with Romania. The unresolved conflict over the region also damaged Moldova's economic ties with other former Soviet republics.
Wine used to be one of the country's main exports and was for a long time its main source of hard currency.
But in 2005 Russia banned the import of Moldovan wines, saying that this was because of their poor quality. However, many Moldovans believe that the real reason was to punish the country for straying from the Kremlin's orbit.
The Moldovan economy still exports very little and is heavily dependent on remittances from Moldovans working abroad, especially from Russia, and so has been badly affected by Russia's recent economic difficulties.

The weekly £25,000 prize draw, aimed at raising money for good causes, is due to start in November.
The lottery will be run by an external company, Gatherwell, which runs a similar scheme for Aylesbury Vale District Council.
Portsmouth City Council leader Donna Jones said the lottery was a "great opportunity" for community groups.
Tickets will cost £1 and 60% of the funds raised will go to local causes, with the remaining allowance divided between the prize fund and running costs.
Groups including Portsmouth Hospitals Charity Action and Portsmouth Alexander Bowls Club have already signed up to potentially benefit from the funding.
Ms Jones said the Aylesbury Vale had produced a £70,000 pot of funds within three months.
"With the austerity programme continuing, we wanted to come up with an innovative way of making sure those small organisations continue to thrive with the income they require, but not necessarily direct from the council as we know that may not be sustainable in the future," she said.
She insisted the project was "absolutely risk free" for the council.

The former county captain and president's candidacy was rejected by 758 votes to 602, it was announced at the club's annual general meeting.
Yorkshire chairman Steve Denison had asked club members not to vote in favour of the ex-England opener.
"I'm disappointed - but nothing's changed," said Boycott.
"I'll be here for the first match of the season," added the 75-year-old, who played for the club from 1962-1986.
Despite posting a post-tax profit of £368,000 for 2015 - their first profit since 2009 - Yorkshire are still more than £20m in debt, and Boycott had expressed concerns about how the club was being run.
"I didn't put up to win or lose, I thought I could do some good for the club. I just wanted to put some points of view, some opinions to help," he added.

Denison had said the board needed "individuals with skills that can guarantee the survival of the club", and members' committee chairman Stephen Mann had also described Boycott as "out of touch".
However Denison said that Boycott, who acts informally as an overseas ambassador for the club, remains a key figure in the club's plans.
"He's a legend of the club and we want to see him at Headingley at every possible opportunity. He'll always be welcome here so let's hope that's what happens going forward."

The 28-year-old from Newbury had been detained on Tuesday on suspicion of causing or allowing the death of five-month-old Jack McLaren.

Max Clark's try and two Tom Homer kicks put Bath 11-8 up at half-time, Sarries responding with a Lozowski penalty and Sean Maitland's touchdown.
Lozowski levelled with a drop-goal, only for Homer to kick a third penalty.
Bath, urged on by a crowd of 14,509, survived to move to within three points of Sarries at the summit.
Victory lifts Todd Blackadder's side up to second in the table, although Wasps can draw level on points with Saracens at the top if they secure a bonus-point win at Worcester on Sunday.
While both sides had a number of stars still on international duty - with Owen Farrell among four Saracens players with the England side at Twickenham and Jonathan Joseph one of three Bath men in the same team - the Premiership outfits still welcomed back a bevy of talent.
Wales number eight Taulupe Faletau, making just his third Bath appearance since moving from Newport Gwent Dragons, was explosive in what amounted to little more than another cameo appearance for the Blue, Black and Whites before being forced off with concussion.
England lock Maro Itoje, back in action for Saracens after six weeks out with a hand injury, was a physical presence throughout for the league leaders, but Bath's stubborn defensive line was rarely breached, despite constant pressure.
Still, Saracens had their chances to take something from the match, but Alex Goode missed a penalty and Lozowski's kick at the end fell short of the mark, as the Londoners suffered just their second league defeat of the season.
Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder: "We overcame a psychological hurdle today.
"We were outstanding in the first half, but we had to absorb a lot of pressure in the second half. The defensive performance showed the desire - the players worked so hard for each other.
"It's a psychological hurdle of winning and beating a really good side, and we will be better for that."
Saracens boss Mark McCall: "In the first half, we were poor and lucky to be maybe only three points behind at half-time.
"Bath were clearly the better team in that first half, but the second half, I thought we turned it around well.
"We had them under a lot of pressure and we had a lot of field position, and we couldn't capitalise on it. We had two or three very good chances. It's disappointing that we weren't able to score.
"I think everyone will agree, we probably should have got something more out of. Maybe a draw would have been a fair result."

Workers are being recruited on temporary contracts to work over the busy Christmas period.
The internet company is hiring more than 15,000 extra people across the UK in the run-up to December.
Amazon said it expected "many hundreds" of the seasonal workers to move into permanent posts as a result.
The Swansea base, which opened in 2008, has more than 1,000 permanent staff.
During its busiest day last year, Amazon said customers ordered a total of 3.5m items in 24 hours - a rate, it said, of 44 per second.
In 2012, Amazon created more than 10,000 seasonal jobs in the run up to Christmas across the UK, including 1,000 in Swansea.
But if you want to understand the challenge facing the nation, simply consider this: the disease has now become so common that one out of every two people born after 1960 will develop it during their lifetime.
It means that every two minutes someone in England is diagnosed with the disease.
The major cause is, of course, the fact we are living longer. But lifestyle factors, such as smoking, drinking and obesity are also playing a role.
It means over the past 40 years the number of cancer diagnoses has more than doubled - as this graph from figures collated by the Office for National Statistics shows.
But the increase in cases is putting a strain on services. The plans unveiled on Sunday cover just England, but across the UK the health service is struggling to meet its targets.
Probably the most high-profile target is the 62-day deadline for patients to start treatment following an urgent referral by a GP.
This is used in all parts of the UK - although it is measured slightly differently in each country so direct comparisons are difficult.
Nonetheless, all the parts of the UK have one thing in common: They are not meeting their own target.
These problems are similar to the ones experienced by A&E and routine hospital operations services. But for cancer it is arguably even more important. The faster patients get treated, the greater their chance of survival.
Go to our special report page on cancer for more information about the disease and what is being done to tackle it.
Talking of survival, how is the NHS faring? Well, survival rates have been increasing. Research by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine shows that five-year survival in England has risen substantially since the early 1970s.
Fewer than a third of patients diagnosed during 1971-2 lived for another five years. Now more than half do.
But depending on which cancer you have, survival rates vary greatly.
For example, among men five-year survival rates for testicular cancer stand at 97%, skin melanomas 90% and Hodgkin lymphoma 84%.
But for lung cancer it is 11% and pancreatic cancer 5%.
Among women the survival rates for those two cancers are the same, while the best rates are seen in skin melanomas at 93%, followed by thyroid cancers at 87% and breast at 86%.
Despite the overall improvements it is also clear the NHS has some way to go before it achieves the results of some of the best-performing health systems.
A report by the Nuffield Trust think tank published earlier this month looked at how the UK was performing against 14 similar countries when it came to three common cancers.
The mortality rates date back to 2010, but still give a good indication of how far there is to go.
A big part of England's new cancer strategy is improving earlier diagnosis - half of patients are currently diagnosed at an advanced stage with a fifth only happening after a visit to an A&E department.
Improving access to tests is a key part of this.
But there is also a lot of work is going on to develop new treatments. My colleague Fergus Walsh explains what's been happening in this video below.
But for all the emphasis on testing and treatment, there is a lot people can do. Four in 10 cancers could be prevented by changes to lifestyles.
The biggest cause of cancer is smoking, but a host of other activities from diet to exercise also play a role.
If we are going to improve the odds in the fight against cancer, everyone has a role to play.
The Tories picked up 31 seats - ten more than in 2013, but three short of the 34 needed for a majority.
Labour won 23 seats, nine down on four years ago, and the Liberal Democrats finished with one seat - down from four in 2013.
Eleven seats went to independent candidates and there were no wins for UKIP or the Green Party.

Conservative leader Kay Cutts said: "We have been running a long campaign. We've worked very hard in our communities as well.
"It's not just something you do in the last six weeks - it's something you do over several years and we're starting to bear fruits from that work."
A look around the room at the count tells you everything you need to know. Plenty of men and women wearing blue rosettes smiling and congratulating each other while there's not a red rosette to be seen.
The collapse of the UKIP vote has undoubtedly helped the Tories, as has the success of independent groups, taking Labour votes in their traditional heartlands of Ashfield and Mansfield.
Support for Labour did however hold up well in Gedling, which is the Tories' number one target seat in Nottinghamshire for the general election.
The total number of seats in Nottinghamshire went from 67 to 66 because of boundary changes and most of the 56 divisions have also changed in name, size or both since the last election.
Eurovision: You Decide on 26 February will see six acts bid to impress viewers and a professional panel to compete in Stockholm on 14 May.
Bake Off co-host Mel Giedroyc will host the 90-minute show, which also marks BBC Four's first taste of the contest.
The UK's pre-chosen 2015 entry Electro Velvet came 24th out of 27 in Vienna.
"I am a huge fan of the Eurovish and am honoured to be hosting this fantastic event," said Giedoroyc who will present the contest at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London.
"It's very exciting that the great British public will get the chance to choose who will be sent to Sweden and I know it's going to be an amazing night," she added.
The last act to be chosen by the audience in a TV contest was Josh Dubovie in 2010 but the selection show was broadcast on BBC One. Dubovie ended up finishing last on Eurovision night with the song That Sounds Good To Me.
BBC Four will this year also be showing both semi-finals of Eurovision live from Stockholm on 10 and 12 May.
The Eurovision extravaganza itself will as usual be broadcast on BBC One.
Cassian Harrison, editor of BBC Four, said: "I'm delighted that Eurovision: You Decide and both of the semi-finals are coming to the channel this year.
"BBC Four is the home of music on TV in the UK and, as any fan will tell you, Eurovision is one of the biggest music events on the planet and is much more than just one night of TV, therefore it is only right that BBC Four is able to showcase Europe's favourite music TV event right here in the UK."
The BBC has not given the names of the members of the studio expert panel, who will also offer thoughts on how the contestants and their songs could be made to look and sound on stage in Stockholm at Eurovision.
In recent years the UK's act has been chosen internally by the BBC, who have also enlisted some big-name songwriters, including Gary Barlow, Pete Waterman and Andrew Lloyd Webber, in an aim to boost the country's chances.
But with a succession of bad outcomes for the UK, the BBC will this time launch an open submission process to get the best entrants.
Eurovision: You Decide will also feature special musical guest performances, to be confirmed on 22 January on the Ken Bruce Show on Radio 2.
Tickets for the show will go on sale on 22 January at 10am on the BBC's Eurovision website.
The unseeded Belarusian, who has been plagued by injuries in recent years, beat the fourth-seeded German 6-3 6-1.
World number 22 Azarenka, 26, is preparing for the Australian Open, which starts on 18 January. She won in Melbourne in both 2012 and 2013.
Roger Federer and Milos Raonic meet in the Brisbane men's final on Sunday.
Swiss Federer, ranked third in the world, beat Austria's Dominic Thiem 6-1 6-4 in the last four while Canadian Raonic overcame Australia's Bernard Tomic 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-5).

The consultation document will also propose placing requirements on universities and private schools to enhance social mobility.
The package will be part of Theresa May's attempts to frame her government as one focused on social mobility.
It is expected to be presented on Friday,
The most contentious suggestion in the consultation paper is likely to be that the government should pass legislation to permit new grammar schools. This would be required to overrule the 1998 Education Act, which barred the opening of further grammar schools in England.
To help overcome opposition in the Commons, where some Tory MPs are concerned about the proposals, and the Lords, where the government does not have a majority, the paper is expected to propose changes designed to overcome the historic problems with selective education: grammar areas have tended to have higher educational inequality.
The preferred option in Whitehall is that the schools should dedicate a quota of places to children from poorer backgrounds. Grammar schools may also be required to act as academy sponsors to other schools.
Universities could also be asked to sponsor academies as a condition of being allowed to raise their fees. A similar condition may also be applied to private schools as a condition for their status as charities.
The paper is also currently expected to include a relaxation of the rule that limits oversubscribed new faith schools to only selecting half of their intake by reference to faith. This rule was intended to limit the segregational effects of new faith schools. Officials have said these schools will, instead, be encouraged to do other work to that end.
Downing Street declined to comment on the leak, but made an argument for the abolition of the rule on faith schools in similar terms to an argument made publicly earlier this year by Nick Timothy, one of the prime minister's two chiefs of staff.
He who wrote in January that the law "does little to increase the diversity of Jewish, Muslim, Sikh and Hindu schools, because for now at least they are unlikely to appeal to parents of other faiths. But the rule is effectively discriminatory for Roman Catholics: it prevents them from opening new free schools because it is almost certainly against canon law for a Catholic Bishop to set up a school that turned away Catholic pupils on the basis of their Catholicism."
Mr Timothy, a supporter of faith education, argued: "We won't succeed in bringing together our divided communities by pretending to be something we're not, penalising people for what they believe, or trying to turn others into something they do not want to be. We will bring communities together by encouraging people, especially young people, to understand, respect and like one another for what they are."

Khoung Lam, 42, who had been at Whitchurch Hospital, Cardiff, fled from his carer on 25 June 2015.
He attacked passerby David Owen and tried to choke him with a belt, an inquest in Cardiff heard.
Mr Owen struggled free, put the belt around Mr Lam's neck to "render him unconscious" and then got help. Mr Lam was found dead. The inquest continues.
The hearing was told how Mr Lam had been on an escorted shopping trip when he absconded from his carer.
He went to the Asda supermarket in Coryton in the north of the city where he managed to evade three police officers who had found him in the cafe and he "bolted" into a wooded area.
Later as window fitter Mr Owen made his way to a pub along the Taff Trail, a walking route, he passed Mr Lam.
Mr Owen told the inquest jury how he heard Mr Lam repeatedly say: "Do you want to die today? What day do you want to die?"
"I remember him just pulling (his belt) off and I was thinking I was in trouble," said Mr Owen who was 58 at the time.
"My fear was that there was no-one else around. If he overpowered me, I was in trouble."
He told the jury how he tried to escape by going down a footpath that led to the Asda supermarket.
"The man chased me, still saying 'you are going to die' or similar words," he said.
"Then just as I got to where the footpaths joined, I fell."
As he got to his feet, he said Mr Lam swung the belt and the buckle hit him on the head before putting it around his neck, the inquest heard.
Mr Owen described how he was able to pry the belt off by by pulling it over his chin, nose and forehead in three stages while they were wrestling on the floor.
Mr Owen said he was "exhausted" when he managed to take the belt, put it around Mr Lam's neck and apply pressure with "whatever strength I had left".
He said: "He had stopped hitting me on the head and I was just thinking is he going unconscious or is he faking it?
"I was just a bit scared of letting go."
As Mr Owen walked off toward Asda, he looked back and he "thought (from) the way he was slumped I feared he may have died".
He called the police from the supermarket. The jury heard how he had stopped work after the incident and had counselling.
Mr Owen was arrested but released without charge.
He told Mr Lam's family: "I feel I acted as I had to to survive. I wish I had never been there. I never wanted Khoung to die."
PC Gareth Stephenson told the inquest that after Mr Lam had been recognised at the Asda store, three officers were sent to escort him back to the hospital.
He said Mr Lam, who had a history of mental health problems and had been sectioned two weeks before his death, asked to finish his meal.
"I opened the door, I turned to him and I was going to take hold of his arm; at the point he bolted," PC Stephenson said.
The inquest continues.
Cork defender Damien Cahalane's dismissal after a second yellow card on 51 minutes was a key moment when the Rebels led 0-15 to 1-11.
Within eight minutes Waterford were 3-14 to 0-18 ahead after goals from Jamie Barron and Austin Gleeson.
Barron fired another goal in injury-time as Waterford's Conor Gleeson and Cork's Patrick Horgan were sent off.
The duo received straight red cards after a spot of off-the-ball stick-jabbing and Gleeson's participation in the All-Ireland decider on 3 September could now be in doubt.
In front of 72,022 spectators at Croke Park, Michael Walsh's early goal gave Waterford a 1-1 to 0-2 lead after a brilliant crossfield ball from Shane Bennett.
With Cork keeper Anthony Nash making a magnificent save to deny Pauric Mahony, the sides were level on several occasions in the opening period before Waterford edged into a 1-7 to 0-9 lead by the interval.
Cork had the better of the 15 minutes after half-time and they led by one when the game's pivotal moment arrived as Cahalane saw red after a high tackle on Conor Gleeson landed him a second yellow card.
Cahalane had been handed his first caution in the first half for a pull across Austin Gleeson's legs.
Waterford, who went into Sunday's game without suspended sweeper Tadhg de Burca, have not won an All-Ireland senior title since 1959, only the second in their history, and they last reached the final in 2008.
The last of Galway's four titles came in 1988 although they have lost six finals since then - including the 2012 and 2015 deciders.
Queens carved several openings with Stephen Dobbie among those off target in the first half.
Dobbie also threatened with a free-kick as time began to run out, Kevin Cuthbert making the save.
But Stewart slid in to settle the match and Rovers now trail Dundee United by one point and Championship leaders Hibernian by four.
The Doonhamers slip to fourth, two points behind their victors.

Benjamin Netanyahu wants the settlers to be able to stay in the building while they "make their legal case".
Ehud Barak had ordered the settlers out of the house in the West Bank city on Tuesday because they had not received the military's approval to purchase it.
The settlers say they bought the house from its Palestinian owners legally.
But local Palestinian police disputed the validity of the deal, saying the building had more than 50 owners, only one of whom sold his share.
Mr Netanyahu's move comes a week after his government unsuccessfully sought to delay an order from the Supreme Court to dismantle an illegal settlement outpost in the West Bank.
About 20 settlers moved into the two-storey house in Hebron on Thursday night, seeking to expand the settlement of some 500 families in the heart of the city, home to 180,000 Palestinians.
On Monday, the Israeli military told the settlers they had until 15:00 (12:00 GMT) on Tuesday to leave the house or prove it was theirs, after which the authorities would "act to restore the building to its previous state".
"After examining all the evidence that was handed over and after considering all the circumstances of the incident, it was decided to return to the situation which existed before," the military order said.
The settlers did not obtain military approval to buy the house and their takeover constituted a provocation, it added.
But overnight, Mr Netanyahu "asked the defence minister to allow the settlers in the building to have time to make their legal case", officials in the prime minister's office said.
After the deadline passed, Hebron settlers' spokesman David Wilder told AFP news agency they were awaiting the outcome of Mr Netanyahu's meeting with senior ministers.
"There is nothing new, we are waiting for a decision by the ministers," he said.
About 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
The 9% rise in profit came despite a marginal drop in turnover to £61m.
The company said it was a record trading profit with sales increases in most market segments.
The strong performance came despite an increase in the cost of wool and the strength of sterling, which makes its exports more expensive.
The company said trading conditions in the Eurozone continued to be difficult as most countries have failed to "achieve significant growth in GDP".
It added that by contrast the UK economy was continuing to improve, which should increase demand for its products.
In particular, the firm pointed to improving demand for its Axminster products in the residential market.
Employment at the firm rose slightly over the year to 532.
The shareholders shared a dividend of £1.2m, up from £1m in the previous year.
In April 2014, the firm announced it was investing £30m to upgrade its facilities in Portadown.
The statistics are stark. On the World Health Organisation's list of the world's top 10 most polluted cities, four are in Iran.
"To improve the quality of our air, we need new technologies," Vice-President in charge of the environment, Masoumeh Ebtekar, tells me soon after she arrives in Paris for the COP21 climate change talks.
Not only that, she claims Iran could quadruple its cuts of greenhouse gas emissions with new technologies once there is a complete lifting of sanctions under the landmark nuclear deal signed with world powers in July.
Her adviser Majid Shafiepour, who heads Iran's delegation to the COP21 talks, sketches a sweeping graph showing what Iran can achieve if it is "business as usual" - and a more ambitious plan boosted by sanctions relief.
Even before Iran has fulfilled its side of the bargain with a significant dismantling of its nuclear programme, the potential in its new international engagement is already clear.
"There's been a lot of willingness among European countries like France and Italy as well as the private sector to come to invest in green technologies," Mrs Ebtekar says when we sit down for an interview in the graceful premises that have been Iran's official residence in the French capital for more than a century.
She cites a long list of sectors from solar and wind power, to irrigation and waste management.
Iran is already working on its own programme to enhance the quality of fuel used by vehicles in all major cities but she points out that "if sanctions are lifted, Iran can move ahead more quickly".
In the capital Tehran, air quality in the sprawling city of 12 million is said to be improving but suffocating smog occasionally shuts offices and schools and in past years caused thousands of deaths.
In a recent article for the UK's Guardian newspaper, environmental expert Kaveh Madani and political analyst Nazanin Soroush say reports suggest that that Iran's petrol carries ten times the level of contaminants of imported petrol. As for diesel, it contains 800 times the international standard of sulphur.
In the run up to this major round of climate talks, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei set out an ambitious 15-point environment plan calling for greater engagement and awareness from every level of government and society.
Earlier this year Iran's most powerful figure took aim at land-grabbing - which he said was reaching "mountain-grabbing" proportions and causing rampant deforestation and environmental destruction.
Now there is talk of another revolution by the woman who played a key public role as a student spokesperson after the 1979 Iranian Revolution. This time, it is in agriculture.
"We need a total U-turn in agricultural policy," is how Mrs Ebtekar summarises the challenge.
What experts describe as Iran's self-inflicted water shortage stems from exploiting 97% of its surface water - in contrast to an international standard of 40%. A change would mean educating farmers and providing incentives for a more efficient use of water.
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani recently warned that water shortages were now a national security issue.
Of 32 provinces, 13 face a "critical water situation".
Water mismanagement and drought have also brought Lake Urmia, once the Middle East's largest salt water lake, to the brink of disappearance.
Dust storms are another scourge. In February, daily life came to standstill across Khuzestan province in the south-west because dust pollution reached 66 times permissible levels.
Former Agriculture Minister Issa Kalantari, who still serves as an adviser, famously sounded a dire warning that if Iran did not change course, large parts of the country would be uninhabitable in two decades.
Asked about reports earlier this month that Iran, under political pressure from hardliners, was slowing the disabling of centrifuges which play a key part in the enrichment of of nuclear fuel, Mrs Ebtekar emphasised that the programme was proceeding as agreed in the nuclear deal.
"There is a certain group in Iran that has criticised the nuclear deal from the beginning and has concerns," she explains. "I think it's important for people to understand how important it is for our country."
"I think it's also important for the international community to understand we are also under pressure. We should all work together to make sure it moves ahead," she added.
While the world keeps a close eye on progress in the nuclear deal, Iran is also realising it has its own obligation to itself to safeguard its very future.
Entitled We Will Multiply, it is by former Turner Prize-winner Laure Prouvost, who draws on the "everyday and domestic".
The work is part of an exhibition featuring four artists' work at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery.
Each artist was asked to extend and update late British conceptual artist John Latham's "world view".
The tea bags on the radiator reference the period in which French artist Prouvost worked as Latham's studio assistant in the early 2000s.
The pair would drink a lot of tea together and afterwards, Latham would always dry the teabags on a radiator.
In another work, Prouvost has created replicas of eggs, eggshells, milk cartons and vegetables, while Douglas Gordon is encouraging people to play the "sculpture games" as he has exhibited a table tennis table and a billiard table.
Speak runs at the gallery from Thursday until 21 May.
UEFA are making 437 extra tickets available for the Poland game.
Some lifelong supporters missed out when UEFA allocated the tickets on Tuesday.
About 800 extra tickets were later made available. Now more than 400 more have been added.
However, there is no sign yet of more tickets for Northern Ireland's matches against Germany and the Ukraine.
On Wednesday, the Irish Football Association (IFA) announced a portal would be created for Northern Ireland supporters to apply for extra tickets.
The portal, for the match against Poland, is open to supporters on a priority list who were were informed they had missed out on Tuesday.
Northern Ireland are to play Poland, Ukraine and Germany in France in June.
The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) announced on Friday that 832 extra tickets had been released by UEFA for Republic of Ireland fans.
FAI chief executive John Delaney said: "We are continually in talks and correspondence with UEFA for more tickets, and this policy has proven successful up to now.
"There are still 2,000 extra tickets which we will draw on to try and satisfy those who have missed out on the current process.
"I'd like to thank UEFA for its work so far in freeing up more tickets, but we, of course, would like more.
"Republic of Ireland supporters will represent one of the biggest groups of supporters at EURO 2016, and accordingly we have a huge fan base to try to satisfy."
Craig Wild, 47, was kicked, stamped on and attacked with knives and a screwdriver in Fox Walk last August.
Alison Sarah Moss, 46, of Fox Walk, Walkley, denied murder but was found guilty at Sheffield Crown Court.
Her partner, David Michael Webster, 49, of Leppings Lane, Hillsborough, had pleaded guilty to Mr Wild's murder at a hearing in November.
The court heard how Moss and Webster had been drinking and taking drugs at the house on Fox Walk when they were joined by Mr Wild.
An argument was said to have broken out, before Webster launched a horrific attack on the victim.
Det Ch Insp Dave Stopford, said after being alerted by neighbours police were met "with a horrific sight".
"Mr Wild was found lying on the living room floor, with a blood-stained duvet covering him.
"He was found with over 117 separate injuries caused by multiple weapons; a Stanley knife, kitchen knife and a screwdriver, and also by being punched, kicked and stamped on."
Mr Stopford said Webster was a "dangerous man" who has "shown absolutely no remorse for his actions".
Moss denied any involvement in the murder but forensic evidence on shoes and clothing proved she had participated.
Police said the pair were "both extremely violent individuals who have murdered a defenceless man without any provocation".
Mr Wild's family said: "The impact our dearest Craig's death has had on our family is one of total devastation for all of us who loved him so dearly."
Moss and Webster are to be sentenced on Friday.
More than 160 pupils were given an anatomy lesson by two vets at the July Course at Newmarket in Suffolk.
Its aim was to teach children how the thoroughbred's organs enable it "to gallop at speed and over a sustained distance".
The event was organised by the British Horseracing Authority.
The horse, an eight-year-old gelding called Gee Major, retired after winning three races and lives at the British Racing School in Newmarket.
Newmarket Equine Hospital vets Ben Jacklin and Will Barker described the "remarkable physique of a racehorse" to the children, who attend primary schools in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.
The event was organised by the authority as part of its The Horse Comes First campaign, which "raises awareness among children and racegoers of the first class care given to racehorses during and after their racing careers".
Torn-up sick notes were found in the homes of Andreas Lubitz, they say, including one for the day of the crash, which killed 150 passengers and crew.
A German hospital confirmed he had been a patient recently but denied reports he had been treated for depression.
The EU's aviation regulator has urged airlines to adopt new safety rules.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) said in future two crew members should be present in the cockpit at all times.
Data from the voice recorder suggests Mr Lubitz purposely started an eight-minute descent into the mountains after locking the pilot out of the flight deck.
There were no survivors when Flight 4U 9525 crashed in a remote mountain valley on Tuesday while en route from Barcelona in Spain to Duesseldorf in Germany.
Prosecutors say there was no evidence of a political or religious motive for his actions and no suicide note has been found.
French police say the search for passenger remains and debris on the mountain slopes could take another two weeks.
A memorial service is being held at a church in central Duesseldorf, attended by the mayor, Tomas Geisel.
Two officers stand watch at the end of a neat, suburban cul-de-sac. International TV crews focus their cameras on Andreas Lubitz's family home. The blinds are down. A candle has been placed on his parents manicured lawn, with an image of hands clasped in prayer.
Neighbours describe him as a "quiet, affable man". They are struggling to accept that the 27-year-old they once knew could be capable of committing mass murder.
Investigators carrying boxes of evidence and a computer have come and gone. With the discovery of a discarded sick note in his Duesseldorf apartment and confirmation that he attended a medical clinic just days before the crash, the suggestion is that this quiet man was hiding something.
That secret may eventually reveal why he took not just his own life but the lives of 149 others.
In a statement (in German), prosecutors said they had seized medical documents from Mr Lubitz's two residences - his Duesseldorf flat and his parents' home north of Frankfurt - which indicated an "existing illness and appropriate medical treatment".
The "fact that, among the documents found, there were sick notes - torn-up, current and for the day of the crash - leads to the provisional assessment that the deceased was hiding his illness from his employer", the report states.
Germanwings confirmed it had not been given a sick note for the day of the crash.
Duesseldorf's University Hospital issued a statement (in German) saying Mr Lubitz had attended the hospital on 10 March and last month.
Adding that it had handed his medical records over to prosecutors, it said reports the co-pilot had been treated there for depression were incorrect.
Germany's Rheinischer Post newspaper, which spoke to the hospital, quoted its own unnamed sources as saying Mr Lubitz had been suffering from a physical, rather than a mental, illness.

The theory that a mental illness such as depression had affected the co-pilot was suggested by German media, quoting internal aviation authority documents.
They said he had suffered a serious depressive episode while training in 2009.
He reportedly went on to receive treatment for a year and a half and was recommended regular psychological assessment.
Mr Lubitz's employers insisted that he had only been allowed to resume training after his suitability was "re-established".
Speaking just before the EASA issued its advice, Lufthansa announced it would adopt the "rule of two" as soon as possible.

"There's not much plane debris left," police spokesman Xavier Vialenc was quoted by AFP news agency as saying. "There's mainly a lot of body parts to pick up."

Winehouse, 27, was found dead at her home in Camden, north London, in 2011.
The verdict is identical to the first hearing which had to be repeated after the deputy coroner was found to lack the relevant experience.
The deputy coroner had been hired by her husband, senior coroner for inner north London area, but had not been a registered lawyer for five years.
Dr Shirley Radcliffe, St Pancras Coroner, recorded a verdict of misadventure, the same as the original inquest in October 2011. The hearing also heard the same evidence as the first inquest.
The hearing was told the star was more than five times the legal drink-drive limit when she died, having 416mg of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood in her system - the legal driving limit is 80mg.
Dr Radcliffe said the star died from "alcohol toxicity", adding it was "a level of alcohol commonly associated with fatality".
She said Winehouse "voluntarily consumed alcohol" and added "two empty vodka bottles were on the floor" beside her bed when her body was discovered.
In a written statement, Winehouse's GP, Dr Christina Romete, said she saw her patient the night before her death. "She specifically said she did not want to die," said Dr Romete.
The doctor added: "She was genuinely unwilling to follow the advice of doctors, being someone who wanted to do things her own way."
The doctor's statement also revealed Winehouse struggled with an eating disorder, where she made herself sick.
In a written statement, Winehouse's live-in security guard Andrew Morris spoke about the moment he realised she was dead.
"I was upset and shaken," he said. "She's like a sister to me."
Det Insp Les Newman confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances over the death.
The inquest was told the post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as alcohol toxicity and the singer probably suffered a respiratory arrest.
The move to hold another inquest came after an investigation found that Suzanne Greenaway, who oversaw the first inquest, did not have the correct qualifications for the role.
She was appointed in July 2009 by her husband, Andrew Reid after she had worked as a solicitor and barrister in Australia.
But she stepped down in November 2011 when it emerged that she did not have the requisite five years' experience in the Law Society.
Dr Reid resigned from his position last month after the Office for Judicial Complaints launched disciplinary proceedings against him.
Other inquests conducted by Ms Greenaway have also been reheard.
The Competition and Markets Authority identified 642 local areas where it said the merger would hit competition.
Ladbrokes and Gala Coral are the UK's second and third largest retail bookmakers, behind William Hill.
Ladbrokes has about 2,150 outlets in Britain and 77 in Northern Ireland. Coral runs 1,850 shops in Britain.
A merger between Ladbrokes and Gala Coral would make it the UK's largest bookmaker.
However, on Monday, the current market leader, William Hill, was approached by rival gambling companies 888 and Rank Group about a merger.
The sale of up to 400 shops is the same figure suggested by the CMA in May, when it published its provisional findings into the Ladbrokes-Gala Coral deal.
Announcing the final report, Martin Cave, chair of the CMA's inquiry, said: "We've found that the merger between two of the largest bookmakers in the country would reduce competition and choice for customers in a large number of local areas.
"Although online betting has grown substantially in recent years, the evidence we've seen confirms that a significant proportion of customers still choose to bet in shops - and many will continue to do so after the merger. We therefore believe that a sale of shops of this scale is needed to protect these customers.
"It is now for the parties to propose a divestment package and one or more suitable purchasers for the CMA to approve."
Ladbrokes agreed the terms of the all-share merger with Coral in July, and the company's shareholders backed the deal in November.
Gala Coral has been owned by a group of private equity firms, including Apollo Global Management, Cerberus Capital Management, Anchorage Capital Partners and Park Square Capital, since 2010, when it collapsed under £2.5bn of debt.
Under the terms of the deal, those private equity owners will own 48.25% of the new company's shares, with the remainder being held by Ladbrokes shareholders.
The men were part of online communities trying to be the first to find and release the latest films, or produce the best quality illegal copies.
Millions of people downloaded the films causing losses put at more than £5m by the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT).
The men all admitted conspiracy to defraud in January.
A fifth man was given a two-year suspended jail sentence.

Sahil Rafiq and Ben Cooper, from Wolverhampton; Reece Baker and Scott Hemming, from Birmingham, and Graeme Reid, from Chesterfield, were sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Thursday.
They illegally released films - including Argo, the Avengers and Skyfall - using several online aliases over a number of years, FACT said.
FACT said Baker was caught red-handed encoding the film Gangster Squad, which had only been released three weeks earlier, when officers raided his home.
Baker also illegally leaked Fast and Furious 6, Man of Steel and Monster University while on bail, FACT stated.
Kieron Sharp, director general of FACT, said the sentencing marked the first time a release group had been criminally prosecuted.
Baroness Neville-Rolfe, Minister for Intellectual Property added: "The illegal copying and distribution of films has real consequences for the film industry and consumers."
The men's sentences:
Rafiq, 25, of Warnford Walk, received four years and five months
Baker, 23, of Dalmer Close, Castel Bromwich, received four years and one month
Reid, 41, of Kings Clear Walk, received three years and five months
Cooper, 34, Dilloways Lane, received three years and five months
Hemming, 27, of Perry Common, received a two-year suspended sentence.
The government-commissioned inquiry - led by Labour MP Ann Clwyd - said too many patients found the current approach unresponsive and confusing.
It said it was putting the health service on a year's notice to improve accountability and transparency.
To achieve this, the review has got 12 key organisations to sign up to a series of pledges.
These include:
The review was commissioned by the government after the public inquiry into the Stafford Hospital scandal.
Ms Clwyd was asked to lead it after she broke down in a BBC interview last December while describing the poor care her late husband had received.
She was sent more than 2,500 letters and emails from people describing similar problems and dissatisfaction with the way complaints are handled.
They said they were often unaware of how to make complaints or of the identities of staff they wanted to complain about.
They also said they feared reprisals if they did raise concerns.
The report concluded there had been a "decade of failure" and called for a revolution in complaints handling.
As well as the steps mentioned above, it said relatively simple measures, such as providing patients with paper and a pen beside their beds and displaying the names of staff on duty, could also help.
Ms Clwyd said: "When I made public the circumstances of my own husband's death last year, I was shocked by the deluge of correspondence from people whose experience of hospitals was heart-breaking.
"It made me determined to do my best to get change in the system.
"The days of delay, deny and defend must end and hospitals must become open, learning organisations."
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt welcomed the report and said a full response to the Stafford Hospital inquiry and the reports that have followed, which include this one as well as others on healthcare assistants, mortality rates and patient safety, would be made before the end of the year.
He added: "I want to see a complete transformation in hospitals' approach to complaints so that they become valued as vital learning tools."
But patient groups questioned how committed the government really was.
Peter Walsh, of Action Against Medical Accidents, pointed out that the government appeared to be watering down the duty of candour called for after the Stafford Hospital scandal.
The public inquiry had suggested this should become a legally enforceable duty, but latest plans suggest this will only be applied to the most serious cases of harm.
Mr Walsh said: "For all the good commonsense proposals contained in the report, they would be rendered useless if the government restricts the duty of candour in this way."
Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham said: "The NHS has an unfortunate tendency to push complainants away and pull down the shutters. That has to change."
The report comes as the health ombudsman calls for a 24-hour advice service for unhappy patients.
Writing in the BBC News website's Scrubbing Up column, ombudsman Dame Julie Mellor said: "Too often we hear of patients not having the confidence to raise a concern on a hospital ward."
She said patients and carers should be able to access advice on how to raise a concern "24 hours a day, seven days a week", and that "every patient, carer and relative would have the opportunity to raise an issue in person, by email or over the phone".
The RMT union announced the walkouts in a dispute with the firms over plans to remove guards from trains, which would become driver-only-operated (DOO).
Union officials, who confirmed the 24-hour strike on 13 March, say the move will make trains potentially dangerous.
The Office of Road and Rail insists they are safe provided the right equipment and training is given.
As well as walking out on strike, Merseyrail members will also not work any "rest days" from Monday 7 March indefinitely.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said the result "sends out the clearest possible message" that the union "is prepared to stand up and fight for public safety and the guard guarantee".
He said the union's position on DOO "is perfectly clear" - "we will not agree to any introduction of DOO".
Arriva Rail North, which operates Northern trains, provides services across the north of England.
Merseyrail plans to introduce a new fleet of 52 (DOO) trains from 2020 and said none of the permanent guards or guard managers would lose their jobs.
The union said more than 81% of members at Northern and Merseyrail voted for strike action and more than 93% voted for action short of a strike.
A spokesman for Northern said the strike announcement "is a shame" and the firm's "aim is to reach a constructive resolution" and "protect jobs and pay".
A Merseyrail spokeswoman said the firm has "pledged to do everything we can to bring the dispute to a satisfactory and swift conclusion" and is "committed to continuing dialogue with the RMT".
Mr Cash said the union had no option but to strike again following "the abject failure by Southern rail to meet with us".
But, Southern said: "They say they want to talk, but they are hell-bent on further strike misery and causing disruption."
Parent company Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) said news of a further strike on what would be the 30th day of RMT strike action was "clearly disappointing".
"We asked the RMT executive to suspend any further action... so that talks could take place, instead they have chosen to put their members through even more pointless industrial action."
Last week, the drivers' union Aslef met Southern for talks after its members rejected a deal.
It said it was working to ensure there were no more drivers' walkouts, but it still has a mandate to strike.
The BBC understands further discussions are being held with Aslef this week.
The Met Office announced the results after receiving thousands of responses via email, Facebook and Twitter.
It is hoped that naming storms will help raise awareness of severe weather and ensure people protect themselves.
A storm will be named when it is deemed potentially able to cause "substantial" impact on the UK or Ireland.
The full list of names chosen for future selection are: Abigail, Barney, Clodagh, Desmond, Eva, Frank, Gertrude, Henry, Imogen, Jake, Katie, Lawrence, Mary, Nigel, Orla, Phil, Rhonda, Steve, Tegan, Vernon and Wendy.
They will be taken from the list, in alphabetical order, alternating between male and female names, meaning the next severe storm will be known as Storm Abigail, followed by Storm Barney.
There is a name for each letter of the alphabet, excluding Q, U, X, Y and Z, which is the same naming convention as used in the US to help maintain consistency for North Atlantic storms.
Experts have found that attaching a name to a weather event makes it easier to follow its progress and simpler to reference on social media.
Severe weather in October 2013 was referred to as the St Jude's storm as it was due to arrive on St Jude's day.
Derrick Ryall, head of the public weather service at the Met Office, said at the time the name search was announced in September: "We have seen how naming storms elsewhere in the world raises awareness of severe weather before it strikes.
"We hope that naming storms in line with the official severe weather warnings here will do the same and ensure everyone can keep themselves, their property and businesses safe and protected at times of severe weather."
Dave Rihoy gave Guernsey, who had a squad of just 12, a 30th minute lead against the Isthmian League Division One South's bottom-of-the-table club.
But Whitstable levelled six minutes before the break before going in front two minutes after the restart.
The hosts got a third 15 minutes later before Ross Allen saw a free-kick hit the bar for Guernsey with 10 to go.
The loss means Guernsey end their third season in the fourth tier of English non-league football in 13th place.
The band were due to play the Wave 105 Night Air on Bournemouth beach on Friday night, as part of the resort's four-day annual air festival.
Concert-goers were told to leave the beach when the sea encroached into the audience area and damaged the stage.
Organisers apologised and blamed "a combination of exceptional wind and sea conditions".
Travis had played earlier in the evening, but with the sea creeping into the audience area and threatening the stage structure, the decision was taken to cancel the Leeds band's headline slot shortly before 22:00 BST.
Festival organisers insisted the tidal conditions "could not be fully anticipated".
"This was caused by direct southerly/south-westerly winds and short period strong waves which added to the forecast high spring tide," a statement said
"This created high levels of water on the beach that had been unprecedented in all the years of staging the event. This decision was taken in the interest of public safety,"
About 5,000 fans were at the event.
Anthony Carrier from Fawley in Hampshire, who was at the show with his son and his friend, said about a quarter of the audience area became covered in water when the announcement was made that the show was ending early.
"I was more concerned about people getting trampled than getting wet," he said.
"For the amount of people, it was the right decision - it was only going to get worse.
"There was a lot of booing but it wasn't unexpected."
The Leeds band posted an apology to fans on Twitter. Lead singer Ricky Wilson said: "Some things can't be predicted.
"Tonight our show in Bournemouth was cancelled - the stage was in danger and they didn't want it falling on you, and they didn't want us on it when it fell."
With winds of up to 49mph expected, all daytime flying displays have been cancelled on Saturday.
More concert performances due to take place later have also been cancelled due to damage to the beach stage areas.
Google claims Symantec has done a poor job of using standard tools, called certificates, that check the identity of thousands of websites.
It will change its Chrome browser to stop recognising some Symantec certificates, causing problems for people who visit sites using them.
Symantec said Google's claims were "exaggerated" and "irresponsible".
The row concerns identity checks known as "security certificates", which underlie the HTTPS system that ensures data is encrypted as it travels to and from a website.
Symantec is one of the biggest issuers of basic security certificates as well as their extended versions, which are supposed to give users more confidence in the security of a site.
Google alleges that Symantec has not done enough to ensure that these basic and extended certificates are being issued correctly. It claims to have evidence that over the past few years 30,000 certificates are suspect.
In a bid to tackle the problem, Google said it would change the way many versions of Chrome display information derived from Symantec certificates. This could mean many users get warnings that sites are insecure or are blocked from visiting them.
In response, Symantec said it "strongly objected" to the way Google had acted, saying its decision was "unexpected".
Its statement added that Google's statements about the way it issues certificates was "exaggerated and misleading". It threw doubt on the claim that 30,000 certificates had been issued incorrectly and said only 127 had been identified as wrongly issued.
Symantec said it had taken "extensive remediation measures" to improve the way it issued certificates and noted that many other certificate issuers had not gone as far.
It queried why it had been "singled out" by Google when other certificate issuers were also at fault.
"We are open to discussing the matter with Google in an effort to resolve the situation in the shared interests of our joint customers and partners," it concluded.

Charles Mumbere was detained after government forces raided his palace in the Rwenzururu region on Saturday.
The authorities accuse him of launching a secessionist movement to create a new state, to be called Yiira.
The murder charges relate to the killing of a police officer in March, not to the unrest over the weekend.
King Charles has denied any involvement in the violence.
At least 16 police officers and 46 royal guards were killed in the clashes in Kasese district, according to official figures.
Human rights campaigners are urging an independent investigation into the violence after pictures emerged of bodies dumped with hands tied behind their backs.
The government denies carrying out extrajudicial killings in the region.
Questioned about the raid, Gen Jeje Odong, Uganda's minister for internal affairs, said: "What happened is a situation of self-defence.
"What do you do if I come to you, wanting to pierce you with a knife? Do you allow me to do it? Or you try to protect yourself?"

The Rwenzururu kingdom is around the mountains of Rwenzori, about 340km (210 miles) west of Uganda's capital, Kampala.
Its people, the Bakonzo, straddle both Uganda and neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
Tension has been high in the kingdom in recent years, with issues ranging from land disputes, to bitter divisions over plans to divide up Kasese - one of the seven districts in the Rwenzori region.
The king and some of his supporters have been accused of launching a secessionist movement, which authorities blame for a recent spate of attacks on security forces in the area.
Traditional kingdoms, which are barred constitutionally from taking part in national politics, were abolished in 1966 but then restored by President Yoweri Museveni in the 1990s.
President Museveni did not officially recognise the Rwenzururu kingdom until 2009, though this has not brought an end to the periodic unrest.
Before becoming king, Mr Mumbere spent many years living in the US, where he worked in a Pennsylvania nursing home.
On mine, some were fatalistic, others nervously pragmatic - one passenger told me he could not afford to change expensive, long-laid travel plans, however grim the news. Some were more openly apprehensive.
Egypt sees itself as a regional power in the front line of a war against global jihadism and its strong-man President, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, portrays himself as the hammer of political Islamism at home.
Privately many Egyptians appear to worry that might make their country an obvious target for jihadists - the fear being that a long-bubbling Islamist insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula might escalate elsewhere in Egypt.
You do not find those fears reflected in the mainstream media, which sees its role in Mr Sisi's Egypt as cheerleading for the state where possible and downplaying criticism when necessary.
But the fears are nonetheless real - most Egyptians firmly support the idea that their country should be a strong regional power but there is a genuine anxiety about the price tag such a role might ultimately carry.
For the relatives of the missing gathered at a Cairo hotel, the absence of concrete information must be almost unendurable.
They now face a very personal and agonising search for answers that cannot really begin until the search for the bulk of the missing wreckage yields results.
The Egyptian air force has now reported finding debris in the Mediterranean somewhere between 125 miles (200km) and 185 miles north of Alexandria.
That is a start, but the task of recovery remains immense - this is a search not just for evidence of what caused the crash but for the bodies of those who died in it.
The performance of Egypt's armed forces and intelligence agencies will be closely scrutinised.
If the loss of flight MS804 turns out to be the result of a terrorist attack, as most Egyptians now assume, it will raise further questions about the quality of security surrounding EgyptAir operations.
A competent and efficient process that quickly identifies who did it and how, may go some way towards restoring that reputational damage.
Alongside the mood of national mourning and a feeling that the grief of the passengers' families is widely shared here, there is also a sense that Egypt is once again the subject of hostile foreign scrutiny and part of the reaction in the media reflects a deeply felt resentment at any criticism.
That has been reflected in part on social media where the Arabic hashtag "I will only fly EgyptAir" was created in the hours after the plane was reported missing.
The defensive tone was also taken up by a television presenter who appeared on screen dressed in an EgyptAir pilot's uniform to decry criticism of the airline.
He was careful to add, though, that he did not want to imply such criticism amounted to a "conspiracy".
Conspiracy theories abound at moments of crisis in Egypt and they are particularly likely to flourish when there is a lag between speculation and concrete official information.
No event creates those circumstances more starkly than the loss of an aircraft at sea, when there is a lag between the sort of speculation and interpretation which floods the internet and the dearth of hard, official information.
There are now signs that the first evidence is being recovered but everything depends on finding the aircraft's black-box flight recorders which should include the details of its final, fatal moments.
Nowhere is that evidence awaited more keenly than here in Egypt. There is sensitivity to outside criticism here but that is is vastly outweighed by a shared sense of shock and grief. | Police are taking no action against a woman who was arrested in connection with the murder of a baby boy.

Police Scotland said it would recruit an additional 90 officers who will be attached to Armed Response Vehicles, bringing the total number 365.
It will also recruit 34 more trainers and specialist firearms officers.
But the force stressed there was no specific terror threat to Scotland.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson formally announced the changes in a statement to the Scottish Parliament, saying "the threat we face from terrorism is real".
It is understood it will take the total number of firearms-trained officers from around 350 to 474, with the new firearms officers being taken from the force's existing pool of officers.
This still represents less than one officer in 40 being authorised to carry firearms.
Police Scotland updated its anti-terror training and planning in the wake of last year's Paris attacks, which left 130 people dead.
The Scottish Police Federation had previously warned that Scotland was "woefully under-equipped, under-resourced and under-prepared" for a major terror attack.
The majority of firearms officers operate from Armed Response Vehicles, which are the first to respond to a potentially life-threatening or firearms incident.
But the force also has an elite team of Counter Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officers.
Police chiefs said the additional 124 officers were in response to the latest assessments of the threat from terrorism and the use of firearms by home-based criminal gangs, but were not a response to any direct intelligence.
They also said the force overall remained an "unarmed service", with the changes meaning that less than 3% of its 17,234 officers will be deployed in a firearms capacity north of the border.
Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins said the terror threat to the UK as a whole remained severe, and it would be "dangerous and complacent" to think that Scotland was any less at risk than the rest of the UK.
He said much had changed, especially around the threat from terrorism, since the force's current firearms model was developed three years ago.
He added: "Our thinking moving forward is based upon ensuring Scotland is as well protected as anywhere in the UK and that we are a strong contributor to the overall security of communities in the UK.
"Our focus remains absolutely clear: to protect the public, reduce the risk posed by criminals including terrorists; and ensure we respond swiftly, effectively and decisively to any threat."
Police Scotland, which averages about three to four armed police call-outs per day - has not revealed where the extra officers will be deployed as it is an operationally-sensitive matter.
The use of armed officers has been controversial in recent years, with the force revising its guidance following an outcry over officers with guns being spotted attending minor incidents.
Forces south of the border have already announced increases to their armed capability to help counter the terror threat.
In January, the Metropolitan Police revealed that 600 extra armed officers were to be trained for that purpose.
Mr Matheson told MSPs that the "vast majority" of officers would not be routinely armed, saying the policy of only sending armed officers to "incidents involving firearms or a threat to life" would continue.
He said: "Armed police officers are, first and foremost, police officers, and they are expected to respond appropriately to keep people safe.
"However, let me be clear that armed officers will not be routinely deployed to incidents other than those involving firearms or a threat to life."
He added: "The attacks in mainland Europe and Orlando caused shock and grief around the world. As a government we are resolute in protecting the way of life that we enjoy and cherish in this country.
"The different threats to that way of life are real and as a nation we must be prepared for any eventuality. That is precisely what today's announcement is about.
"There is no specific known threat to Scotland. People are safe to go about their day to day business and should be further reassured by today's announcement by Police Scotland." | Scotland is to increase its number of armed police officers by about a third following warnings that the country would not be able to cope with a major terror attack. | 36,547,739 | 869 | 37 | false |

The FRC said in a statement: "The FRC has commenced an investigation under the Audit Enforcement Procedure into the conduct of KPMG Audit Plc, in relation to the audit of the financial statements of Rolls-Royce Group plc for the year ended 31 December 2010 and of Rolls-Royce Holdings plc for the years ended 31 December 2011 to 31 December 2013.
"The decision to investigate follows the SFO announcement on 17 January 2017 of a Deferred Prosecution Agreement between the SFO and Rolls-Royce which relates to offences including conspiracy to corrupt and a failure to prevent bribery."
The agreements relate to bribery and corruption scandals involving intermediaries in overseas markets such as Indonesia and China.
Rolls-Royce first passed information to the SFO in 2012 after facing "allegations of malpractice" in the two countries, after which the fraud squad launched a formal investigation.
The company said at the time that its own investigations had found "matters of concern" in additional overseas markets.
KPMG, one of the world's largest accountancy firms, said: "It is important that regulators acting in the public interest should review high profile issues. We will co-operate fully with the FRC's investigation, which follows the SFO's investigations into Rolls-Royce.
"We are confident in the quality of all the audit work we have completed for Rolls-Royce, including the 2010-2013 period the FRC is considering."
The firm has audited Rolls-Royce for 26 years, but is due to replaced next year by PwC.
Rolls-Royce apologised "unreservedly" after the SFO settlement.
The SFO revealed 12 counts of conspiracy to corrupt or failure to prevent bribery in seven countries - Indonesia, Thailand, India, Russia, Nigeria, China and Malaysia.
Often described as "a jewel in the UK's industrial crown", Rolls-Royce makes engines for military and civil planes, as well as for trains, ships, nuclear submarines and power stations.
But in addition to the corruption claims, the company has been hit by a string of profit warnings that sparked a tumble in the share price in the past couple of years. In February, the company reported a record loss of £4.6bn.
Rolls-Royce is holding its annual meeting in Derby, home to its main factory and where it employs 14,000 people.
In a statement ahead of the meeting, chief executive Warren East said estimates for profits and cash flow this year were unchanged, news that will be welcomed by long-suffering shareholders.
"We have some important transformation initiatives under way and, while we have made good progress in our cost-cutting and efficiency programmes, more needs to be done to ensure we drive sustainable margin improvements within the business," Mr East said.
The statement made no reference to the KPMG investigation.
Jackie Walker has faced criticism over comments made at the anti-Semitism event and on social media, and had been under pressure to quit.
Ms Walker told Channel 4: "I certainly wouldn't call myself an anti-Semite."
Labour said it did not comment on individual party memberships.
Earlier, the TSSA union said it would "seriously reconsider" its support for Momentum if Ms Walker remained in place and the group said its steering committee would meet on Monday to seek her removal.
But a spokesman for Momentum, the left-wing grassroots organisation set up in wake of Jeremy Corbyn's 2015 election as Labour leader, said: "Members of Momentum's steering committee are seeking to remove Jackie Walker as vice-chair of the committee."
Ms Walker was previously suspended by the Labour Party over comments made on social media in which she claimed that "many Jews (my ancestors too) were the chief financiers of the sugar and slave trade" but was re-admitted following an investigation.
But a leaked video emerged on Wednesday of her saying at an anti-Semitism training event: "I came here... with an open mind and I was seeking information and I still haven't heard a definition of anti-Semitism that I can work with". She also questioned why Holocaust Memorial Day was not more wide ranging.
Ms Walker later told Channel 4 News she was not challenging the definition of anti-Semitism but rather "wanted to be clear what we were talking about" at the training event.
Asked if she would describe herself as an anti-Zionist and not an anti-Semite, she said: "Yes. I certainly wouldn't call myself an anti-Semite as I am Jewish and my partner is Jewish."
Manuel Cortes, general secretary of the TSSA union, which backed Momentum and Mr Corbyn's leadership, said on Thursday he was "deeply saddened that a fellow member of our Labour and trade union family holds such anti-Semitic views" and said she should not be allowed to "remain active within our party".
"I am asking Jackie that in the interests of unity she resigns at once from our party and also as vice-chair of Momentum.
"If she doesn't, both the Labour Party and Momentum need to act to get rid of her at once.
"We would seriously need to consider our union's support for Momentum if she is still in post by this time next week."
In an interview with Channel 4 News, Ms Walker said she had not intended to offend anyone.
Asked whether she had thought about resigning, given criticism from some Jewish groups, she said: "Some other prominent Jewish groups, of which I'm a member, think a very different thing.
"What we have to look at when we're talking about this subject, particularly at the moment, is the political differences that are underlying this as well."
Whoever leaked the video "had malicious intent in their mind", she said.
Ms Walker said she was anti-Zionist, rather than anti-Semitic: "Zionism is a political ideology and, like any political ideology, some people will be supportive and some people won't be supportive of it."
What's the difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism?
Ms Walker previously had support from six Jewish Labour activists who issued a statement saying she had been subject to a witch-hunt.
Mr Corbyn has denied there is a "crisis" in the party amid accusations of anti-Semitism in its ranks.
Labour MP Naz Shah and former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone were among those to be suspended over allegations of anti-Semitism.
A review of the issue of racism in Labour, led by former Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti, found the party was "not overrun by anti-Semitism, Islamophobia or other forms of racism".
But the report was criticised by Jewish leaders and MPs, who said its credibility was undermined because Ms Chakrabarti was nominated for a peerage by Labour just weeks after its release.
Northampton Borough Council lent the money to Northampton Town FC but work on the Sixfields Stadium stalled and the club has since been taken over.
The audit committee of the Conservative-controlled council is carry out an internal investigation.
The committee is due to meet on Monday to set out the framework for its inquiry.
Assisted by the council's internal auditors Price Waterhouse Coopers, the committee will then report on its findings, with any recommendations, to full council.
Council leader Mary Markham said: "I am committed to pursuing the debt of £10.25m that we lent to the football club under its previous ownership to improve the stand and develop a hotel, but also to looking at how we managed this project and where we could improve so that nothing like this can happen again."
The legislation removes an Obama-era rule that prohibited states from withholding funding for family planning services that provide abortions.
A Republican-led Congress passed the measure last month with Vice President Mike Pence casting a tie-breaking vote.
Republicans have long vowed to defund the group over the issue of abortions.
Planned Parenthood, a reproductive health organisation, provides birth control, STD testing, cancer screenings, breast examinations and pregnancy terminations.
What is Planned Parenthood?
Mr Trump signed the legislation privately without media present on Thursday, repealing a rule issued in the final days of Barack Obama's administration.
He signed the resolution under the 1996 Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows lawmakers to nullify regulations within 60 days of enactment as long as the president agrees.
Republicans have overturned several Obama-era rules using the CRA.
Mr Obama's regulation prevented states from withholding money from a provider for any other reason than an ability to provide family planning service.
That rule was instituted after more than a dozen conservative states denied grants to Planned Parenthood through a Nixon-era family-planning programme known as Title X.
Oklahoma abortions: Women may need partners' permission
Vice-president attends anti-abortion protest in DC
But now state governments will have the latitude to determine how to distribute Title X grants, allowing some conservative states to undercut Planned Parenthood and other abortion groups.
Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of millions of dollars a year in funding from the federal government, but it is banned by law from using any of that money to fund abortions except in cases of rape, incest or life-threatening situations.
Anti-abortion activists hailed the move as returning power to the states while critics argue the measure is part of a "Republican war on women".
"This puts an end to the outgoing gift that Obama gave the Trump administration which was to disallow states from being in charge of its own family planning funds," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the anti-abortion group Susan B Anthony's List.
She added she expects "to see Congress continue its efforts to redirect additional taxpayer funding away from Planned Parenthood".
Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens warned the new resolution would deny as many as four million people access to family planning services.
Many Americans who rely on Title X-funded services are low-income, according to the group. In fact, 80% of Title X patients earn incomes below 150% of the federal poverty level.
"People are sick and tired of politicians making it even harder for them to access health care, and this bill is just the latest example," Ms Laguens said.
"We should build on the tremendous progress made in this country with expanded access to birth control, instead of enacting policies that take us backward."
Earlier this year, Republican lawmakers attempted to cut funding for Planned Parenthood through its plan to overhaul the Affordable Care Act, also know as Obamacare.
Congress rejected that measure due to a lack of support.
Judge Ricardo Mucio Santana de Abreu Lima ordered phone operators to restore the service immediately.
The original suspension was ordered because WhatsApp's owner Facebook failed to hand over information requested in a criminal investigation.
The service is widely used in Brazil where mobile owners face steep charges.
The 72-hour suspension came into force on Monday afternoon local time and applied to Brazil's five main mobile operators.
The judge - Marcel Montalvao - said that the company had failed to fully explain to the authorities why it would not help police with their investigations into drug trafficking.
WhatsApp was temporarily shut down in December for similar reasons.
Judge Abreu Lima has not given any further details on his decision to overturn his colleague's ruling.
WhatsApp executives are in Brazil this week to meet with Brazilian authorities to discuss the matter further.

Klitschko, who is entering his 29th world title fight, revealed on Thursday he has made a video of his prediction for their heavyweight bout at Wembley.
That has been saved on a memory stick which will be sewn into his robe.
"It's strategy," said Joshua, 27. "An attempt at a mind game. I didn't take it the way he wanted to express it."
Former heavyweight champion Klitschko, 41, will auction his robe - and its contents - for charity after the Wembley Stadium super fight for Joshua's IBF title and the vacant WBA belt.
At a news conference free of the antics seen at many pre-fight gatherings, he told BBC Radio 5 live: "Don't ask me what's on the stick. Only one person will know about it. If that person wants to put it on social media, then the world will know."

The pair will meet in front of an expected 90,000 fans, a post-war record for a UK boxing match.
Neither man has spoken negatively about their rival during the build-up, but Klitschko broke rank briefly on Thursday, saying Joshua is no more than a "puncher" while adding that he himself is "a boxer who can punch".
The Ukrainian added: "I am the winner, already before the event. Even if it is his home, I'm taking it as my event and my fight, my win."
Joshua, who has had 18 professional fights compared to Klitschko's 68, responded: "If I couldn't box I wouldn't be here. I may not be the best but what I do good, I do brilliantly. That's got me here.
"If he claims to be the better boxer so be it, but when I start punching you in your jaw, you best stand up to the power. This is just another stepping stone towards greatness."
Klitschko - who shouted "fake news" at one reporter when asked about a rumoured eye-socket injury - is bidding to regain two of the three major titles he lost to Tyson Fury in his last outing in 2015.
He admits being introduced as the challenger still feels "weird" but pointed to his experience, stating he had been involved in boxing for the 27 years Joshua has been alive.
Victory for the Ukrainian would see him become a three-time heavyweight champion, like his retired brother Vitali, who believes Joshua is complacent in his approach.
"I've never seen my brother so concentrated," said Vitali.
"I want to say that Joshua is a great fighter, great skills, but he has never been at such a high level. He looks relaxed, like it will be easy. It will not be.
"After I was told about the fight I studied Joshua and I was happy. He has the right style for Wladimir, a good opponent."
Joshua enters Saturday's fight with 18 knockout wins in his 18 matches, while Klitschko boasts a record of 64 wins - 53 by KO - and four defeats.
The same type of Beko dryer that led to Mishell Moloney's death was responsible for 20 other fires, Birmingham Coroner's Court heard.
But none had the same defect thought to have caused the blaze that killed the 49-year-old in Rubery in February.
Beko said the "risk of injury was low" in other incidents. Coroner Emma Brown recorded a narrative verdict.
The company's director of quality, Andrew Mullen, was asked by the coroner why Beko had not decided to recall the 8kg DCS 85W model.
He said: "We looked at the number of incidents against sales, the severity of the incidents and circumstances, and in all those assessments they were all incidents that happened within 10 or 20 minutes of the tumble dryer being used.
"Nearly all those were when the tumble dryer was in unheated buildings such as a shed or outhouse. In those cases the risk of injury was low."
He added the model was discontinued last year "as part of a range change".
Ms Moloney was discovered at her home in Coriander Close, Rubery, after relatives found window blinds blackened with soot and forced their way in.
An investigation found the fire started in or around the area where the dryer's printed circuit board (PCB) was.
The coroner said it was her conclusion the death was due to smoke inhalation from a fire caused by the tumble dryer in her kitchen and the source within the dryer was the PCB.
But she said it was "not possible to identify the nature of the defect which caused the fire".
Beko said "in virtually all cases" the identified cause of blazes traced to the model had been "the run capacitor" and never the PCB.
Mr Mullen said a decision not to recall the model was taken after a risk assessment and consultation with trading standards.
He revealed two smaller models (the 6kg and 7kg) had been recalled because of 100 incidents of reported faults with the capacitor, "within the first three months".
After the hearing, Ms Moloney's daughter Jodie said: "My mum was quite simply the best mum my brother Joshua and I could have asked for."
The family's lawyer Paul Tapner, of Slater and Gordon, said the family "needs answers from the manufacturer".
After the inquest, Mr Mullen said safety was its "highest priority" and the product involved "remains completely safe for use, meeting and exceeding all European standards".

Shaun Wane's side, winners in 2011, scored 12 tries without conceding a point to book a date with Warrington or Hull FC at Wembley next month.
Pat Richards's two tries and 11 goals guided the Warriors to a 30th final.
The 70-0 win is the biggest in Challenge Cup semi-final history, breaking Wigan's own mark of 71-10 over Bradford back in 1992.
London became the first side since Hull KR's defeat by St Helens in 2006 to end a semi-final scoreless.
Despite their poor league form, which had seen them fail to record a Super League victory since beating St Helens in April, London pinned their hopes on their prior displays in the Challenge Cup, and the presence of Jamie Soward - but neither proved any boost on a afternoon to forget at Leigh Sports Village.
Three defeats in five were uncharacteristic preparation for Wigan, but they returned to their best in a dominant performance coming after a derby loss to St Helens on Monday.
Pat Richards, in his final season at Wigan, scored 30 points to break Frano Botica's records of 22 points and nine goals in a semi-final set in 1992.
but there looked little doubt his side would fail in their quest this time around.
Errors handed them repeat sets which London initially weathered, but once Wigan found their stride they took full control of the tie.
Slack defence at the play-the-ball gifted Darrell Goulding a route to the line which he snapped up, and after Sean O'Loughlin and Blake Green combined, Lee Mossop had the power to dart over for a second Wigan try.
London were stunned, and were further punished for indiscipline and a tiring defensive effort in humid conditions with four further tries before the hooter.
Sam Tomkins jinked through before Blake Green pounced on a grubber by Matty Smith, and Pat Richards finished off a flowing move out on the left as London failed to scramble to cover.
Josh Charnley's try was the pick of the first-half scores, as Ben Flower and then O'Loughlin ripped through the London cover and the latter's booming pass to the England winger on the right was finished well.
The one-sided nature of the first period continued after the hooter when Scott Taylor burst two tackles, although there was a hint of misfortune for the Broncos about the penalty for a high tackle on Sam Tomkins earlier in the set.
Footballing skills from Smith almost brought a spectacular score, but the half-back showed another side to his talent when he stepped the cover to scoot in on the right for try eight.
With their place in the final all but secured, Wigan played some expansive football that was rewarded when O'Loughlin flicked a ball onto the overlapping Richards and push the scoreboard past 50.
Farrell's graft in the second row was complented by his support play and brought a try when he ran onto an inside ball to score, and Iain Thornley's touchdown was further insult to injury for a broken Broncos.
Charnley's second from Goulding's sleight-of-hand pass was the 12th try of the game and the 100th of his career - not to mention an impressive seal to a dominant Wigan display.
Wigan head coach Shaun Wane told BBC Sport:
"It's fantastic, we lost last year at Leeds and played poorly but today we played really well, London were busted today with injuries but were were outstanding.
"Last year took me weeks to get over, but I'm so proud of the effort, we had a short turn around this week and the effort has been fantastic."
Wigan captain Sean O'Loughlin told BBC Sport:
"We got off to a really good start, settled into the game well we got some points on board and it was always going to be a struggle to come back from that.
"With the half-time scoreline we could have found it difficult to stay professional, with a Challenge Cup final at stake it kept everyone mentally switched on.
"We've been involved in a couple of these semis and we've not got there which is disappointing to take and we're now one step close to lifting the Challenge Cup."
London Broncos head coach Tony Rea told BBC Sport:
"We're obviously really shattered, we came here to do what we wanted to do today with really high hopes of what were were going to get out of the game.
"We had a ridiculous penalty count, we couldn't get the ball and there was a point in the first half where one team was going to crack and I thought it could be us that made them crack but we lost our discipline, the marker play, and defence.
"Fair play to Wigan they were bigger, fitter and more powerful. They steamrollered us. You've got to be tough in big games and we weren't tough enough today."

The Scot beat Raonic in straight sets to repeat his triumph of 2013 and claim a third Grand Slam title.
Murray is the first British man to win more than one Wimbledon singles title since Fred Perry in 1935.
"I'm proud to have my hands on the trophy again," said Murray.
Murray finally ended Britain's 77-year wait for a male Wimbledon champion in 2013 - and the chance to see him repeat the achievement attracted huge attention.
Fans queued overnight just to grab a spot on Henman Hil to watch the match on a big screen, while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were among those watching from the Royal Box on Centre Court.
"This is the most important tournament for me every year," added an emotional Murray.
"I've had some great moments here, but also some tough losses. The win feels extra special because of the tough losses."
Edric Kennedy-Macfoy, 28, claims police arrested and used a Taser on him because he is black.
Both the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards and the Independent Police Complaints Commission are investigating.
The Met said the man had "not alleged any racist comments were made".
The complainant said he had approached officers as they dealt with a party and that his treatment by them was "motivated by factors relating to race".
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy, a fireman, claims he was driving through Harrow last September when he saw a youth throw a rock at a police van.
He then approached officers at the scene to give a description of the youth, his lawyer said.
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy was later charged with obstructing police during the incident but was cleared by a court.
In the early hours of 4 September police were called to reports of a noisy party in Harrow View where more than 200 people were present.
When police decided to shut the party, "bottles and bricks" were thrown at officers, four of whom received minor injuries, the Met said.
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy arrived at the scene in a car and approached officers.
Police used a Taser on him, arrested him and later charged him with obstructing police. But in February he was found not guilty at Brent Magistrates' Court.
Shamik Dutta, Mr Kennedy-Macfoy's solicitor, said: "The situation that my client has had to suffer has been horrific, not just in terms of the force that was used upon him during his arrest and subsequently being locked up in a police cell for many hours, but then having to face a prosecution, where if he had been found guilty he could have lost his job and it would have ruined his life.
"People who have suffered discrimination can sometimes find it difficult to prove if racist language has not been used against them.
"However, in this case, the inspector who gave evidence at our client's trial in the magistrates [court] was very clear; race was a significant factor in why Mr Kennedy-Macfoy was treated in this way."
In a statement, the Met said: "A complaint regarding the conduct of six officers was received on 21 September alleging that officers arrested and detained a 28-year old man without good cause, assaulted him during the arrest, that the officers were insulting and the way in which he was treated was motivated by factors relating to race.
"The misconduct investigation did not proceed whilst criminal proceedings were ongoing. The complaint letter was received from the complainant's solicitors outlining the precise details on 12 April."
The Met said: "Such allegations are taken extremely seriously and the investigation will explore all the circumstances and evidence.
"The complainant has not alleged any racist comments were made."
The complaint is against an inspector, a sergeant, a detective constable, two PCs from Harrow borough and one PC from the Diplomatic Protection Group.
"Two officers are from a BME (black minority ethnic) background and the rest are white," the Met added.
Unlike many other homelessness initiatives, the so-called "Housing First" approach doesn't require homeless people to make steps towards solving other issues like alcoholism, mental health problems or drug addiction before they get accommodation.
Four experts talk to the BBC World Service Inquiry programme about how and why the approach works and some of its limitations.
Dr Sam Tsemberis is a clinical psychologist who founded Pathways to Housing in New York City in 1992, and developed the Housing First model.
"In the 1980s I was working at Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital on the east side of Manhattan, and I walked about 30 blocks to work.
"I began to walk past people that I recognised, people I had treated when I was working on the inpatient service at the hospital. They had gotten discharged, and were on the street, sometimes literally in the pyjamas that they had been discharged with from the hospital. It was quite disturbing.
"Many of them told me over and over again, 'I need a place to stay, a simple, decent, affordable place of my own like I had before I became homeless'.
"People had to participate in psychiatric treatment or be clean and sober in order to get housing. That was a precondition. And curing addiction or curing mental illness is still something we don't know how to do, and that was exactly what was being asked of people. It was an impossible hurdle to jump over.
"We began to do something that no-one had really done before, which was to take people on the street and offer them a place to live, no conditions other than sign the lease and pay your rent.
"The other breakthrough was to offer normal housing. We rented housing from community landlords on the open market, and people lived in apartments with families, older people, younger people, students, people of all types, including some people who had just the day before been homeless, but were homeless no longer.
"In that first year we had 50 people. The rule-of-thumb in most treatment programmes is a third do better, a third do worse and a third stay the same.
"At the end of the first year 84% were still housed: 84% of people who had been on the street for years. We knew we were onto something very important.
"At first it was misunderstood, and I think people were very uncomfortable because they thought of it as enabling something that should be earned, but if you back up from moral judgments, homeless people are already suffering and providing them with a house actually gets us much closer to the goal that we all want.
"We all want people off the streets and living a productive, meaningful life. This is just a much quicker, more effective and cost-saving way of getting to exactly that goal."
Former music executive Philip Mangano was inspired to start helping homeless people after watching a film about St Francis of Assisi. He left his job to volunteer at his local church. Twenty years later he was appointed President George W Bush's homelessness czar, where he came across Sam Tsemberis' work.
"We had some very good research that indicated that a certain portion [20%] of homeless people were experiencing what was termed 'chronic' homelessness; they were homeless for a year or more and had a disability or concurring disabilities. So as a policy decision in Washington, we decided that we would focus specifically on that population of homeless people.
"I heard about a guy in New York who was placing people directly into housing off the streets and frankly, I was completely agnostic that that could be done, but I thought if that works, we better know about it.
"He took me to a number of people that had been housed, and it looked as though Sam had uncovered something that was in a blind spot for the entire issue for a quarter of a century. So I was interested in the tangible aspects of it, but I really wanted to look at the data. Was there confirming data and research that indicated that this approach worked? Yes there was. So I was a convert to Housing First.
"One of the key questions became how can we possibly afford housing for all these people?
"How much did homeless people cost when they were randomly ricocheting through very expensive health and law enforcement systems, the emergency room of the hospital, police interventions, court costs, and incarceration costs? How much did that cost, versus how much did it cost for people when they were placed in housing?
"Every single study we did revealed that it was less costly to provide the housing and the services than it was to have those people randomly ricocheting in expensive health and law enforcement systems.
"So you could spend up to $150,000 (£103,000) enabling a person to be homeless because you're not providing them with the solution. Or you could invest up to $25,000 (£17,000) and people would be in housing, stable, secure and safe [with] hardly any police interventions or utilisation of emergency rooms. You didn't need to be Warren Buffet to figure out which of those was the better investment.
"More than 1,000 communities got involved from around the United States, and we set the goal that we could end chronic homelessness - the homelessness of the most vulnerable, the most disabled, the most likely to die on the street. We could end that form of homelessness in our country in 10 years.
"We saw in the first five years about a 40% decrease in chronic homelessness around the country. Some cities achieved 67-70% decreases.
"But at this point, right now, I can think of only a couple of cities in the country that have actually ended chronic homelessness. The recession hit; administrations changed. Some of the attention got dissipated. That led to resources being dissipated. You didn't have that same concentration and so you didn't have the same outcomes and results.
Dr Josh Bamberger is the former medical director of housing, San Francisco, and implemented Housing First in the city, providing homes to more than 10,000 homeless people, mainly in an area called the Tenderloin.
"Like every other city in the United States, we had a ten-year plan to end homelessness and, as I'm sure you're aware, homelessness still exists in San Francisco.
"It's disappointing that it doesn't really feel like there's been much shift in the number of people who are lying on the streets in the Tenderloin, which is the inner-city portion of San Francisco, in 15 years.
"The Tenderloin is a densely-populated area. They're small apartments, 300 square feet, sometimes the bathrooms are down the hall. There are probably 1,000 or 1,500 of these buildings with 150 small apartments in them. It's loud, there's a lot of activity going on and there's a lot of drug dealing that goes on in the streets,
"I think if you're struggling with sobriety and people are offering you drugs and alcohol on a regular basis, it's harder to make progress.
"In San Francisco, we are in this very challenging conundrum where the cost to rent an apartment is beyond the means of low-income people. The average cost of a studio apartment in San Francisco is something like $2,500 a month (£1,700) and if you're getting benefits from the government, the most you can make is about $950 (£650) a month, so that's a huge gap that is never going to be overcome.
"We housed the wrong people. When you have such great demand for limited resources, then you need to be very exact and very courageous in only offering housing to the people who need it the most. We used our very limited local resources for people who are just low-income. We didn't focus on the highest users of the healthcare system first.
"What we should have done from the beginning is only offered housing to the 20% of people who are chronically homeless, and then used that opportunity to disclose that the government isn't investing in expanding the affordable housing sector adequately."
Jamie Rogers ran the Housing First programme in the Canadian city of Medicine Hat, which has eradicated all homelessness, defined as meaning no-one will have to sleep rough for more than 10 days before they have access to stable housing.
"Medicine Hat is in South Eastern Alberta, a community of about 63,000 people. It's a very family-focused community.
"I first heard about Housing First from a trip that I took to Toronto. I have to be really honest: I was probably one of the biggest sceptics that it would actually work.
"Since April 2009, this community has collectively housed 1,013 individuals; 705 adults and 308 children.
"We take an extremely targeted approach to look at those that are in greatest need or closest to death, which typically are those who are chronically homeless, and are living in places that are unfit for human habitation.
"We did not have to build housing per se. We have a very limited number of units strictly for housing the homeless. What we do very well is build relationships with landlords and property management and communities, and use market housing.
"[Initially] landlords were extremely sceptical. They were worried about bed bugs, increased violence and drug dealing, so we worked really hard to present factual information about who we actually serve. And we've seen progress. We have 175 different landlord and property management companies on board with us and we now have landlords calling us.
"If you ended up on the streets of Medicine Hat tonight, you could spend one night in the shelter and be speaking to a worker within three days. And you could be on a wait list for a house as quick as tomorrow.
"Rather than just introducing programmes like Housing First, we have restructured our entire system approach to ending homelessness.
"We take the stance that people are worthy of a home and it is a fundamental human right to have shelter and a roof over one's head. Of course it is recovery-oriented, and we help and support people in making different choices in their life, but we don't withhold housing because of who they choose to be.
"Housing First works. I cannot say it enough: it absolutely works."

A "catastrophic humanitarian emergency" is unfolding at a camp it visited where 24,000 people have taken refuge.
Many inhabitants are traumatised and one in five children is suffering from acute malnutrition, MSF says.
The Islamist group's seven-year rebellion has left 20,000 people dead and more than two million displaced.
Nigeria's military has carried out a large-scale offensive against them but Boko Haram still attacks villages in the north-east, destroying homes and burning down wells.
Displaced people in Bama say new graves are appearing on a daily basis, according to a statement from MSF.
It quoted inhabitants as saying about 30 people died every day due to hunger or illness.
Although the area has been unsafe to travel through, MSF says one of its teams reached Bama on Tuesday.
It went in with a military convoy from the city of Maiduguri in Borno state.
"This is the first time MSF has been able to access Bama, but we already know the needs of the people there are beyond critical," said Ghada Hatim, MSF head of mission in Nigeria.
"We are treating malnourished children in medical facilities in Maiduguri and see the trauma on the faces of our patients who have witnessed and survived many horrors," he said.

The reforms will still need to be approved by its parliament, the Diet, before they can be passed.
They would allow Japan to fight overseas in aid of allies under the doctrine of "collective self-defence".
The move has been criticised by some Japanese, who fear being drawn into wars, and China and South Korea.
It comes after the cabinet approved the reinterpretation of the constitution in July last year.
Japan's constitution bars it from using force to resolve conflicts except in cases of self-defence.
According to Kyodo news agency, the proposed bills would revise laws such that Japan's military would be able to mobilise overseas when these three conditions are met:
"We live in an era when no country can any longer protect itself alone," Mr Abe told a news conference.
"In the past two years, Japanese nationals have fallen victim to terrorism in Algeria, Syria and Tunisia; Japan is within range of hundreds of North Korea's ballistic missiles and the number of (fighter jet) scrambles has risen seven-fold in a decade.
"This is the reality. We should not try to ignore it."
Hundreds of people rallied against the proposals in front of Mr Abe's office on Thursday.
Protester Akemi Kitajima was quoted by AFP news agency as saying: "The bills will eventually serve as a green light to join an American war. It is clearly a violation of the constitution."
China and South Korea, whose relationships with Japan have been tense in recent months over historic wartime issues, have accused Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who proposed collective self-defence, of attempting to re-militarise Japan.
The so-called Islamic State group captured two Japanese men in Syria and demanded a ransom from Japan in retaliation for the country's support of others fighting the group.
The eventual beheading of Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa shocked Japan.
The hosts will count themselves unlucky, with Jeff Hassler touching down and James Pritchard kicking the rest of their points.
Scotland struggled to impose themselves in attack after Grant Gilchrist scored his first international try.

Stuart Hogg thumped over a long-range penalty, with Greig Laidlaw's boot providing the remaining points.
Next up for Vern Cotter's charges is a Test against Argentina and the Scots will need to deliver a much improved performance to be competitive in Buenos Aires.
The visitors started brightly and Laidlaw showed great judgement in windy conditions to kick them into the lead with an early penalty after Canada went down in the scrum.
Phil Mack thought he had put the hosts ahead in six minutes when the scrum-half ran over but Hassler had knocked on in the build up.
Laidlaw then had a try ruled out for a knock-on following a messy Canadian scrum, as mistakes littered the early stages.
Former Glasgow Warriors winger Taylor Paris showed his pace with a fine run and Hogg was penalised for going off his feet to stop him, with Pritchard knocking it between the posts to level the scores.
And it was 8-3 to the home side when centre Ciaran Hearn's excellent run and off-load set up Hassler to cross the line, despite the attentions of Tim Visser. Pritchard missed the conversion.
The points kept coming and this time it was the Scots who grabbed a try, as Laidlaw's pass freed Gilchrist to barge his way over. Laidlaw converted.
Alasdair Strokosch left the field on a stretcher with a neck injury after putting his head in where it hurts to help halt a rampaging Canada attack.
Cotter's Scots were finding good positions in the final third but all-too often their handling was below-par as chances came and went.
Laidlaw banged over a simple penalty three minutes from the break following another scrum infringement and it 13-8 as the sides left the field.
Scotland started the second half by conceding a soft penalty after a handling offence, and Pritchard slotted over.
Canada took a deserved 14-13 lead when Scotland were caught offside, allowing Pritchard to knock over another penalty.
The Scots began to build again, though, with Visser and Hogg leading the charge, and the latter banged over a penalty from just inside the Canada half for a 16-14 lead.
Pritchard saw a penalty come back off the post and Laidlaw reacted well to clear, but the Canadians were in the ascendancy and the lively Phil Mack was a real threat.
As the visitors were caught offside again, Pritchard had another look at the posts and this time he made no mistake, giving the hosts a 17-16 lead with 10 minutes to play.
But replacement scrum-half Gordon McRorie's poor kick put Canada in trouble straight from the restart, and an offside decision allowed Laidlaw to fire Scotland ahead.
Canada were forced to play the last few minutes with 14 men after Jebb Sinclair saw red for leading with the elbow on Ruaridh Jackson, and the Scots held on for the win.

Labour MP Chris Bryant said when it came to staff shortages in the NHS, Wales should be able to ask Westminster to speed up the process.
The Rhondda MP said the UK government should "be awake" to pressures in the devolved nations.
The UK government said it was building a system "that works for everyone".
Mr Bryant, shadow home affairs minister from 2011-2013, told BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme he did not support recent calls for the UK Government to consider partially devolving immigration to Wales.
Last week a report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Social Integration (APPGSI) claimed the UK's existing points-based immigration system is "generally unresponsive to demographic, economic and cultural differences between our constituent nations and regions".
Transferring some control over immigration to Wales and other parts of the UK "might instil confidence among members of the public that the immigration system works for their area", the study said.
Earlier this week Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the idea was "fraught with difficulties".
Mr Bryant said he would be "reluctant" to see immigration devolved but "the UK government should be awake to the fact that in different parts of the UK there are different pressures on different parts of the economy".
He added: "In particular in relation to the NHS, if south Wales feels that it has a shortage of orthopaedic surgeons then they should be able to say 'excuse me, Mr or Mrs Government Minister in Westminster, we need you to allow us to move quickly on this'".
"I'm absolutely certain that hasn't been the case and I think that's because we have an unresponsive government."
A spokeswoman for the Home Office said: "Our priority is to build an immigration system that works for everyone in the UK and delivers the control we need".

"The fight against corruption needs to be advanced, not undone," said European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker.
On Tuesday night, the new government passed a decree that could free dozens of officials in jail for corruption.
That spurred thousands of Romanians on to the streets, some chanting: "You did it at night, like thieves!"
Tens of thousands have protested over recent days - less than a month after Romania's new government took power.
The leftist government, led by Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu, of the ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD), says it needs to ease overcrowding in prisons.
In its emergency decree, passed late on Tuesday, it decriminalises several offences and makes abuse of power punishable by incarceration only if it results in a monetary loss of more than €44,000 (£38,000; $48,000).
One immediate beneficiary would be the PSD leader, Liviu Dragnea, who faces charges of defrauding the state of €24,000.
The anger on the streets is because the decree seems tailor-made to get dozens of public figures serving prison sentences out, reports the BBC's Nick Thorpe in Bucharest.
It would blunt the spear of the powerful National Anti-Corruption Directorate (DNA) in future cases, he says.
The DNA has launched 1,170 prosecutions in the past three years, in cases which cost the state more than €1bn. Its chief prosecutor, Laura Kovesi, estimates that the decree could affect one in three of these.
Ms Kovesi has earned praise from the international community for her efforts to fight corruption, but told AP news agency that this latest legislation would "render the anti-corruption fight irrelevant".

Romania virtual gallery turns corruption into art
The issue has set the new government at loggerheads with both the judiciary and the president - less than a month after taking office.
Now Romania's supreme council of magistrates has unanimously agreed to take the emergency decree to the Constitutional Court. That is probably the last legal obstacle in the government's path, our correspondent says.
A separate amnesty law freeing inmates serving sentences of up to five years for non-violent crimes will now be debated by parliament.
The proposed 28-day limit was designed to reduce the time people spend on police bail and strengthen safeguards.
But the College of Policing told the BBC the change could lead to suspects being under investigation by one force without others knowing.
The Home Office said police processes and culture "need to change".
Police use pre-charge bail when they have questioned a suspect but need time to continue their investigations before determining whether to charge them.
A suspect is released from custody, sometimes with conditions attached, and told to report back to a police station at a later date.
At present, there is no legal limit on how long someone can be bailed for.
The government proposals were put forward by Theresa May when she was home secretary.
Policing minister Brandon Lewis said: "The historic lack of oversight is one of the key reasons why many people have found themselves bailed for months or even years without proper scrutiny and no charges being brought.
"The government expects police leaders to ensure the necessary cultural and administrative changes are made."
The plan was for a 28-day limit for police bail, with longer periods requiring approval from a senior police officer initially, then a magistrate.
It followed high-profile cases in which suspects were kept waiting for a long time before being told if they would be charged.
The BBC broadcaster Paul Gambaccini, who was on police bail for almost a year, described it as a "misuse" of police powers.
But a detailed report from the College of Policing, which sets standards and guidance for police, said bail was often extended because officers were waiting for the results of forensic tests.
It said imposing time limits would not shorten how long someone was under investigation.
David Tucker, who leads on crime at the College of Policing, told the BBC: "There is a danger that a person is released from an investigation without being on bail and other police forces not knowing that that person is already subject to an investigation.
"That is a particular problem in relation to violent and sexual offences or other serious offences where it would be really important that a force investigating an offence is aware of all the issues regarding that suspect."
Problems of information-sharing are addressed in an appendix to the College's 68-page report.
It says a focus group of "practitioners", which included officers of all ranks, were concerned that the release of suspects under investigation would not be flagged on the Police National Computer.
It cited the case of Ian Huntley, who murdered two schoolgirls in Soham in 2002, after police forces had failed to share intelligence on him.
"Think Ian Huntley," it says.
For its report, the College of Policing gathered information from nine police forces on 17,000 cases.
It found:
Mr Tucker said there would be a "significant impact" on resources if the plans came into effect with senior officers being called upon to oversee more bail requests.
"We think that there are real dangers in relation to the bureaucracy that's going to be created," he said.
"We're worried about the message that it could send to victims.
"We're worried that suspects may not be clear about what's happening with their investigation and that may not in fact address the problem that the legislation is intended to address."
The Police Superintendents' Association, Police Federation of England and Wales and the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) said they had also raised concerns with the home secretary about the proposed changes.
In a joint statement, the three organisations said: "Forensic examinations routinely take more than 28 days and are often outside of the control of police; this is particularly true of sexual offences and cases involving drugs.
"We are concerned that a limit of 28 days will mean time and resources will be taken up applying for extensions rather than investigating these complex cases.
"Current proposals will push responsibility up to inspector and superintendent ranks, which have been heavily reduced in recent years, rather than empowering the front-line officers who are trained to make these decisions."
The statement said they had asked the Home Office to consider extending the initial bail period for up to 56 days and a reduction in the authority level for bail.
The Home Office acknowledged the plans would cause "additional work" for police but said it was "inevitable" given that the arrangements would require "scrutiny" for the first time.
Policing minister Brandon Lewis added: "The government consulted fully on these reforms in 2014. The policy protects individuals and the public while enabling investigations to proceed."
There is still more than a month to go before Bell leads Warwickshire out for the County Championship opener against Hampshire at Southampton on 10 April, the day before his 34th birthday.
But Evans says that, even in pre-season training, he has made a difference.
"He sets an example in the way he works and goes about things," said Evans.
"I've loved it. He brings an intensity to everything he does, which is what you need if you want to go to the next level.
"He's brought that international work ethic. He trains differently, he thinks differently, he plays differently. He's probably better than the rest of us, so it's nice to watch him play."
Having spent the past decade as an England regular, Ian Bell's omission from the South Africa winter tour has raised doubts about his Test future.
But, having already retired from one-day international cricket with England, Bell himself has no intentions of packing in yet at Test level too.
The fact that Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow were England's only reliable run getters on the four-match tour suggests that he still has a Test future - especially if he can find his form in early season.
James Taylor (201 runs), Alex Hales (192), Moeen Ali (116) all averaged under 30 for the series, considerably below Bell's overall Test average of 42.69.
Ian Bell has squeezed in just 21 County Championship appearances for Warwickshire in the past six years - and even that is a higher appearance rate than most of his England contemporaries in that time.
But, having him back in the team, and even more fired up to score runs in an attempt to win back his England place, can only strengthen the Bears' bid to improve on last season's fifth-placed finish.
"As a group we ended last season poorly," said Evans. "We weren't going about our cricket the right way, both on and off the field.
"There were times we were not enjoying it. We needed the end of the season to come. Hopefully we can put that behind us.
"A winter down, hopefully we've put right some of those things. The real test is when we have that first session when things have not quite gone our way. That will show the character of the side."
Ian Bell led the Bears to a 13-run defeat in Friday's first of two Twenty20 warm-up friendlies against the West Indies, at the Dubai International Stadium.
Responding to the Windies' 145-5, the Bears failed to plunder 23 off the final over, falling short on 132-4, despite 35 for Bell and opening partner Varun Chopra's 41.
Laurie Evans will captain for the second of the meetings with the Windies on Sunday. The Bears then have five days of training ahead of the two-day game with Midlands neighbours Worcestershire in the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi the following weekend.
"It was disappointing not to get over the line," said Bell. "But we played against a high-class international team who've been out here for some time. We're 48 hours off the plane. Even without some of our senior players, we pushed them close."
Palmer won the game when he met Lloyd James' header just after half-time.
That goal strike atoned for his earlier failure to tap into an open net in the first half after rounding Stags goalkeeper Scott Shearer.
Emmanuel Dieseruvwe also missed with the goal gaping at the other end when Orient's Alex Ciask failed to safely gather a cross.
Dubai's government says a sound legal environment has attracted about 20,000 international companies to the emirate.
But on Monday one British businessman could be sentenced to years in a Dubai prison for allegedly sending an offensive tweet about a business partner.
It is part of an almost two-year business dispute between a 38-year-old English solicitor and his former employer in Dubai, investment house GFH Capital, in which the Dubai legal system appears to favour one side.
David Haigh, the Englishman in question who once came to the rescue of Leeds United, flew out to discuss a business venture with his former employer but his trip was overshadowed by a financial dispute.
Hours after touching down in Dubai, after entering the GFH Capital offices, he was arrested on suspicion of fraud and locked up.
He has been detained in squalid conditions in a detention cell at the back of a big police station in Dubai for most of the time since May 2014.
I've seen those conditions.
Dozens of foreign detainees share two squat loos and two showers. There's little privacy, cramped conditions and a general atmosphere of helplessness.
After 15 months he was convicted by a Dubai court of misappropriating items of monetary value from a position of trust from his former Dubai-based employer and sentenced to two years in prison - the majority of which he had already served.
Haigh's lawyer says he is considering seeking a retrial of his criminal conviction.
However, in mid-November, two days before Haigh was due to return home at the end of his sentence, he found out that he would not be leaving after all, as the authorities were looking into allegations that he had broken a law on cybercrime in relation to tweets sent from his Twitter account in March 2015.
The UAE's Cybercrime Law was established in 2012 to criminalise the misuse of social media, with penalties ranging from a big fine to a lengthy jail term for a wide range of offences including hacking, online fraud as well as for people who seek revenge on someone in the cyber world.
The new allegations against Haigh prompted Human Rights Watch to issue a statement about the situation.
The key bit to note, for anyone thinking of working in Dubai, is this quote from their Deputy Middle East Director, Joe Stork: "If UAE businessmen can have their partners locked up when they don't like the tone of their tweets, one has to question whether the UAE is a safe place to make any form of criticism."
I've repeatedly tried to contact the Dubai authorities about this but they have yet to comment on it.
They have so far spent four months considering cybercrime charges levelled against Haigh, all the while leaving the former Leeds United managing director, who has aspirations to become a Conservative MP, languishing in his cell.
Haigh claims he has not had access to a computer in prison and his British-based supporters were handling his Twitter account on his behalf.
Human Rights Watch described the cyber charges as "repressive" and said the UK government must now call for the Briton's release.
Conservative MP Andrea Jenkyns, a friend of Haigh's, told me she fears for his welfare behind bars and that Haigh had handed a dossier about his mental and physical treatment to the British Embassy.
His lawyer, Alun Jones QC, told me Haigh alleges that since he was imprisoned in May 2014 he was threatened that, if he did not co-operate, to quote Mr Jones, "things would go badly for him in prison".
Mr Jones relayed a story to me about something that he claimed happened in his presence when he visited Haigh in custody last year, something he said he found very disturbing.
"On 17 March a number of lawyers were present and on that occasion a prison guard came in and said that the lawyer for GFH Capital Ltd had reported to him that David Haigh had said in court proceedings in England that prison conditions were bad and was that true?
"The prison guard also said that he had been requested to withdraw privileges from David Haigh in prison and those privileges were very limited. That was plainly a threat. A number of lawyers witnessed that."
I have since spoken to GFH Capital about this claim. They declined to comment on the allegations made by Mr Jones, saying they were "nothing new and David Haigh is simply regurgitating issues that are being dealt with by the authorities".
Previously, GFH Capital has said it had no control over the criminal investigation being carried out by the Dubai authorities.
As I said, I have repeatedly tried to speak to the authorities in Dubai but have not heard back from them yet.
Haigh will now hear from them on Monday when he finds out his fate.
His supporters now hope he will be allowed to return to the UK after flying off for what he thought would be a short business trip to Dubai more than 670 days ago.

Recent studies have shown people can carry the sexually transmitted infection in their throats for weeks or months without symptoms.
And they could spread it to others through unprotected oral sex.
So investigators are looking at whether regular mouthwash might help stop the silent spread and experts think it is an idea that is worth exploring.
Gonorrhoea is a bacterium and it can live in secretions in the throat as well as the penis and vagina and is spread by oral, anal and vaginal sex.
The disease - which was common in the first half of the 1900s until the discovery of an effective antibiotic treatment - is seeing a resurgence.
Doctors are worried that the number of new cases have been rocketing in recent years. Latest figures from Public Health England show that between 2012 and 2015 gonorrhoea infections rose by 53%, from 26,880 to 41,193.
Medics are increasingly concerned that the infection may eventually become untreatable, following the emergence of "super-gonorrhoea" - a drug-resistant strain that can dodge the usual antibiotic used to treat it.
Public Health England recently detected an outbreak of azithromycin-resistant gonorrhoea in northern England.
Fortunately, the strain can still be treated with another antibiotic called ceftriaxone, but PHE says there's no room for complacency and it's monitoring the situation carefully.
If azithromycin becomes ineffective against gonorrhoea, there is no "second lock" to prevent or delay the emergence of ceftriaxone resistance and gonorrhoea may become untreatable, they warn.
Cases were first spotted in Leeds in November 2014.
It then spread to the West Midlands and the south of England, with five cases found in London.
By April 2016, the total number of people identified with the infection had reached 34 and included heterosexual couples and men who have sex with men.
Condoms are the best way to stop gonorrhoea spreading, but some experts believe there may also be another opportunity - mouthwash.
Studies suggests the throat could be a breeding ground for hard-to-treat bacteria.
Gonorrhoea can persist here without symptoms and swap DNA with other throat microbes that already know how to dodge certain antibiotics.
Prof Christopher Fairley from Monash University has been testing the mouthwash theory in 58 male volunteers.
All of the men had detectable levels of throat gonorrhoea at the start of the trial.
He asked half of them to gargle and swill for a minute with saltwater while he gave the others a branded antiseptic mouthwash, bought from a supermarket, to use instead.
He retested them five minutes later to see if the gargling had helped. It appeared to, reducing the detectable amount of bacteria significantly more than the saltwater rinse.
Prof Fairley says more studies are needed to check how long this effect might last and what protection it might offer.
He's now recruiting more volunteers to take part in a three-month trial to see what impact daily gargling might have on gonorrhoea throat carriage.
Dr Anatole Menon-Johansson is an expert in sexual health and clinical director for the charity Brook.
He says Prof Fairley "could well be on to something".
"I heard his presentation at a medical conference and I was really impressed. It's obviously still only a hypothesis. There's lots more to do and explore. But it's interesting, and it's got everybody thinking.
"If you could use a mouthwash there's a chance at the population level that it might make a difference to infection rates."
Men visiting his sexual health clinic are offered pharyngeal testing for gonorrhoea.
If the test comes back positive, the clinic runs extra checks to see what treatments the bacteria will respond to and which ones are doomed to fail because of drug resistance.
"These organisms have been with us humans for thousands of years and will continue to be. The challenge is working out ways to control transmission and make sure we have drugs that can still treat it."
Dr Gwenda Hughes, Head of the Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) Section at Public Health England (PHE), said: "Gonorrhoea infection in the throat usually has no symptoms but both men and women can get it by having unprotected oral sex.
"The only protection is by using condoms when having sex with new or casual partners and it's important to have regular check-ups at a sexual health clinic. Sexually active gay, bisexual or other men who have sex with men should get tested for STI's at least every three months.
"PHE continues to monitor, and act on, the spread of antibiotic resistance and potential gonorrhoea treatment failures by investigating identified cases, sexual history and treatment to make sure they are managed promptly."
It involves the murder of civilians whose bodies were then passed off as those of Farc rebels or paramilitaries to boost combat kill rates.
Eight hundred members of the security forces have been jailed so far.
Mr Montealegre said he would deliver the results by the end of the year.
He told the first conference in Colombia for victims of extra-judicial killings that some of the generals were still on active service and others had retired.
He said more than 5,000 members of the security forces had been implicated.
The "false positive" scandal erupted in 2008 when it was found that a group of poor young men had been recruited from the slums of Bogota, promised well-paying jobs in the province of Norte de Santander, then murdered in cold blood and their bodies presented in rebel uniforms as having been killed in combat.
From then on many other cases of "false positives" came to light across the country and prosecutors now have thousands of cases on their books.
In some areas of the country, there were cases of soldiers being sent to round up homeless people.
Members of the army, police and navy used their boosted success rates to claim promotion and perks such as days off.
Correspondents say Colombia's willingness to bring to justice members of the armed forces involved in the forced disappearances of innocent civilians will be watched closely in Havana by the Farc who are in peace talks with the government.
The Farc have said the state's willingness to investigate and prosecute crimes committed by its own agents will be central to the reconciliation process.
Matt Baggott was responding to comments by DUP MLA Lord Morrow, who said "containment is simply appeasement" and urged him to rethink his policies.
Mr Baggott is to meet first and deputy first ministers Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness later to discuss three nights of rioting which left more than 80 police officers injured.
Rioters attacked police in several nationalist areas after Monday's parades by the loyalist Orange Order.
On the eve of the annual Twelfth parades, three police officers were injured by a masked man firing a shotgun.
Mr Robinson and Mr McGuinness condemned the "outright thuggery and vandalism".
The DUP leader also said he would be raising with Mr Baggott "unacceptable" comments by a senior police officer alleging poor political leadership.
Before their joint statement on Tuesday, Assistant Chief Constable Alastair Finlay had questioned whether there was a joined-up approach to preventing violence over the 12th of July period.

He said: "Are we seeing the first minister or the deputy first minister stepping out to condemn this and showing that they will have a plan to meet this type of issue next time it comes round, rather than waiting until it inevitably comes next year?"
Mr Robinson said he and Mr McGuinness of Sinn Fein would continue to work to resolve the difficulties around Orange Order parading.
Mr McGuinness said both men were "resolute" in their commitment to tackle sectarianism.
Mr Baggott said: "I welcome the condemnation of the violent disorder over the past few days from all of those who have a say in the future of Northern Ireland."
"When policing disorder such as that witnessed in Ardoyne on Monday night, the Police Service of Northern Ireland operates within the law and in a proportionate manner, as required by the Human Rights Act," he said.
"The tactics used on Monday were absolutely appropriate in the circumstances, and would stand scrutiny anywhere in the United Kingdom and beyond." | Britain's accountancy watchdog has opened an investigation into KPMG's audit of the accounts of aero-engine maker Rolls-Royce.

The judges ruled by 16 to one there had to be a review of the sentence and the possibility of a release.
But they said this did not mean there was "any prospect of imminent release".
Prime Minister David Cameron said he "profoundly disagrees with the court's ruling", adding he is a "strong supporter of whole-life tariffs".
On a website, Bamber, who murdered five members of his family, said the verdict was "hollow" as he was still serving a sentence for a crime he did not commit.
Bamber brought the case to the court's upper chamber, along with serial killer Peter Moore and double murderer Douglas Vinter, after losing a previous appeal.
BBC home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani said the ruling, which applies in England and Wales, was significant both legally and politically, and it would now have to be considered by the UK government.
By Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent
This judgement is very important legally - and politically. Legally, the court ruled years ago that states can lock up dangerous killers forever.
The problem, it now says, arises if the prisoner doesn't get a chance to prove at some point that they are reformed.
The effect of the judgement is similar to one from our own supreme court, which said that sex offenders should be allowed to show that they are reformed and be removed from the national register.
Ministers used to have the power to review "whole lifers" after 25 years but that was abolished in 2003.
Parliament could theoretically give it to the Parole Board. But politically the judgement puts the court on a head-to-head collision course with ministers yet again and this time the row is arguably even more serious than Abu Qatada or Votes for Prisoners.
The government cannot appeal against this ruling but now has six months to consider its response.
The three men are among a group of 49 people in England and Wales who are serving whole-life tariffs.
This means they cannot be released other than at the discretion of the justice secretary on compassionate grounds - for example, if they are terminally ill or seriously incapacitated.
Up until 2003, all terms could be reviewed, including whole-life tariffs after 25 years.
The men claimed that being denied any prospect of release was a violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights - which protects people from inhuman or degrading treatment.
The court found that for a life sentence to remain compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights there had to be both a possibility of release and a possibility of review.
The judges said: "Moreover, if such a prisoner is incarcerated without any prospect of release and without the possibility of having his life sentence reviewed, there is the risk that he can never atone for his offence: whatever the prisoner does in prison, however exceptional his progress towards rehabilitation, his punishment remains fixed and unreviewable.
"If anything, the punishment becomes greater with time: the longer the prisoner lives, the longer his sentence."
The judges said the current UK law concerning the justice secretary's power to release a whole-life prisoner was "unclear".
They said: "Given this lack of clarity and the absence of a dedicated review mechanism for whole-life orders, the Court was not persuaded that, at the present time, the applicants' life sentences were compatible with Article 3."
The judges said it was up to the national authorities to decide when such a review should take place.
"This being said, the Court would also observe that the comparative and international law materials before it show clear support for the institution of a dedicated mechanism guaranteeing a review no later than 25 years after the imposition of a life sentence, with further periodic reviews thereafter," the ruling said.
The question of whether the three men should be detained because they are a danger to the public was not considered as part of this ruling.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said: "I don't believe that the people who wrote that convention ever imagined that it would stop a judge saying to a really evil offender - 'you'll spend the rest of your life behind bars'.
"It reaffirms, to me, my own determination to bring real changes to our human rights laws and to see a real curtailing of the role of the European Court in this country."
Former Labour home secretary David Blunkett said his government changed the law in 2003 "so that life really meant life when sentencing those who had committed the most heinous crimes".
"Whatever the technical justification the Strasbourg court may have, it is the right of the British Parliament to determine the sentence of those who have committed such crimes..." he said.
"To do otherwise can only lead to disillusionment, mistrust of, and a dangerous alienation from, our democracy itself."
Bamber was jailed for the five murders in Essex in 1985.
He has always protested his innocence and claims his schizophrenic sister Sheila Caffell shot her family before turning the gun on herself.
In a statement which appeared on his blog, which is part of the Jeremy Bamber Campaign website, he said: "Reviews and parole hearings are subject to a risk assessment to gauge dangerousness and this is influenced by the inmate's confession, remorse and rehabilitation for reintegration back into the community.
"In my case I do not fit the criteria for parole on this basis."
Moore killed four gay men for his sexual gratification in north Wales in 1995.
In 2008, Vinter, from Middlesbrough, admitted killing his wife Anne White. He had been released from prison in 2005 after serving nine years for murdering a colleague.
Vinter's solicitor, Simon Creighton, said the ruling could not be used as a "get out of jail free" excuse for life-term prisoners.
"It's very important that the court has recognised that no sentence should be once and for all and there should always be some right to look at some sentences again in the future," he said.
"They have not said that anyone must be released, what they have said is that it must be reviewed."
The Strasbourg court ruling only applies in England and Wales. In Scotland, there is no provision for a whole-life tariff, while prisoners given such a sentence in Northern Ireland may already have their cases reviewed.
Fans at all forms of county cricket - four-day, one-day and Twenty20 - were all up on the previous year, with the Championship up by 18,000 to 513,000.
One-Day Cup attendances were up by 500 per match on 2014, while there were 800 more T20 spectators per game.
With an Ashes summer, international attendances were up by 75,000 on 2014.
"Across the summer attendances grew for each of the county competitions as well as the international games," said ECB chief executive Tom Harrison.
"These figures reflect a big effort by the counties, our international venues and partners to enhance the match-day experience, improve facilities and make our cricket grounds as fan-friendly and accessible as possible.
"They are all good signs and there are big opportunities ahead. We know that there's more that can be done to draw people to watch and play cricket and further improve standards across the game."
The ECB announced in September that there would be no major structural changes to county cricket for 2016, despite proposals to cut the Championship from 16 to 14 teams.
Hampshire were one of only two counties to see their attendances rise in all three formats in 2015.
T20 Blast matches at the Ageas Bowl experienced a 20% increase compared with the previous year.
The county admitted the completion of the ground's £50m redevelopment, including a hotel and leisure complex including new media facilities, had been a factor.
"To be one of only two counties to show improvements in all three formats is fantastic and the on-field successes and hard work behind the scenes have no doubt contributed significantly to this," said commercial director Stuart Robertson.
Perkins, who presents BBC One's The Great British Bake Off, was among several names being speculated over as possible replacements for Clarkson.
Clarkson was dropped by the BBC in March after a "fracas" during which he punched producer Oisin Tymon.
Perkins said she is "off Twitter for a bit".
The presenter, who has 574,000 followers on Twitter, described the suggestion that she was taking the Top Gear job as an "utterly fabricated story".
She tweeted that some of the threats she had received included someone who "suggested they'd like to see me burn to death", while her timeline "has been full of blokes wishing me dead".
Last week she was announced as being the bookmakers' favourite to replace Clarkson.
Bookmakers Coral said she was the front-runner for the job, followed by Dermot O'Leary and then Jodie Kidd.
Perkins has had a flood of support online for her decision, with Susan Philcox tweeting: "Totally unacceptable. Something must be done about these vile people. This isn't freedom of speech, it's abuse."
Oooh Things added: "They are absolute scum, please don't let them bully you off here. You are awesome and brilliant."
Chris Tomson showed support by saying: "This is vile. Those lowlife cretins should be ashamed of themselves."
But Henry Uchenna wrote: "If you get off Twitter because of a threat then the threat has worked. Don't give credence to mediocrity."
The presenter's agent told the BBC she had no further comment to make.
Perkins fronts several other TV shows, including programmes on travel and the Edinburgh Festival on BBC Two and a Sky Atlantic Game of Thrones live discussion spin-off called Thronecast.
She also presents an afternoon chat show on ITV with Bake Off co-star Mel Giedroyc and fronts and appears on shows for BBC Radio 4.
The collision happened on the main A970 road through Cunningsburgh, about 10 miles south of Lerwick, at 15:30 on Sunday.
Michael Robertson, from Sandwick, died in the accident. He had been driving a silver Kia Picanto.
The driver and two passengers in a black Toyota RAV4 were uninjured.
Will Norman starts work in February on a salary of £98,000. He is currently Nike's global partnerships director.
Mr Norman will help the mayor get more Londoners active "by making cycling and walking safer and easier".
The appointment follows the mayor's announcement he would invest £770m on infrastructure and promotion of cycling over the next six years.
City Hall said the appointment was made after "a rigorous and competitive selection process" in which it received 152 applications.
Former mayor Boris Johnson also had a cycling commissioner, but the role was part-time.
Before joining Nike in 2013, Mr Norman set up a social research consultancy and was also director of research at The Young Foundation, where he was responsible for delivering European programmes and established a youth leadership organisation.
Mr Khan, said: "I'm determined to make walking and cycling safer and easier for all Londoners, which is why I'm providing more investment than ever before, and appointing a commissioner to focus full-time on this vital area of work.
"Will Norman brings to this new role an impressive track record in delivering major international projects to get more people active.
"As the first ever full-time commissioner, he will be able to make a substantial difference getting Londoners of all ages and backgrounds walking and cycling more - improving our city for everyone."
He said Mrs May planned to have "very early engagement" with Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
The SNP leader said she would "wait and see" how future discussions unfolded.
However, she stressed that her message to the new PM was to respect the "differing views of Scotland" on EU membership.
Speaking to the BBC after David Cameron left Downing Street, Mr Mundell said: "Obviously very early after becoming PM she will engage with Nicola Sturgeon the First Minister of Scotland and I hope she will have a continuing and ongoing engagement particularly around discussions with the European Union.
"We want to place Scotland, the Scottish government, right at the heart of those negotiations and I think that Theresa in her first days in office will want to make sure that the processes are set in place to allow that to happen."
Mr Cameron tendered his resignation as PM and leader of the Conservative Party after the UK voted for Brexit by 52% to 48%.
In Scotland people voted by 62% to 38% for Britain to retain membership.
The word unionist is very important to me - it means we believe in the union, the precious, precious bond between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Responding to Mr Mundell's suggestion that the Scottish government could play a key role, Ms Sturgeon said: "Let's wait and see how these discussions unfold. I want us to be centrally involved.
"But I think it is an important point that I have got to stress here is, I don't want Scotland to Brexit, I don't want Scotland to leave the European Union because that's not what Scotland voted for.
"My priority is to find ways of protecting Scotland's place in Europe.
"And the UK negotiations, the UK discussions don't just have to have Scotland involved in that but have to have us involved in a way that allows us to get all of the options on the table and properly discussed.
"So that is what I will be seeking to achieve and I hope the new PM is open to that."
Mrs May officially took on the post of PM after meeting the Queen at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.
In her first address outside 10 Downing Street, she said: "David Cameron has led a one nation government and it is in that spirit that I also plan to lead.
"Not everybody knows this, but the full title of my party is the Conservative and Unionist Party. And that word unionist is very important to me - it means we believe in the union, the precious, precious bond between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. "
She added: "But it means something else which is just as important, it means we believe in a union not just between the nations of the UK but between all of our citizens, every one of us - whoever we are, and wherever we are from."
Meanwhile, Westminster's Scottish affairs committee has announced an inquiry into Scotland's future relationship with the EU following the Brexit vote.
It will consider what options exist for Scotland to stay a member of the EU.
Committee members will scrutinise how Brexit will affect Scottish devolution and Scotland's funding settlement.
The inquiry will also examine;
Committee chairman, SNP MP Pete Wishart, said: "In the referendum on the UK's membership of the EU, 62% of Scotland's population voted to remain. We have launched this inquiry to look at what options are available to Scotland to continue to secure a relationship with the EU including examining whether Scotland can continue its membership of the EU."
The 24-year-old won 2014 Commonwealth Games silver in the -52kg category and was considered a Rio medal prospect.
However, she has been told to take six months away from competition after taking a blow to the head at the Paris Grand Slam earlier this month.
It was her third head injury in seven months after bad landings at events in Mongolia and Uzbekistan in 2015.
"When I was given the advice of the medical team I was devastated," said Edwards.
"I understand that I do need this time to heal. I have to accept that I will get injuries and this is just another injury.
"I shall come back stronger and better after a six-month block of good training, and will be focused on the 2017 World Championships in Budapest."
After suffering the initial blow in Mongolia in July, Edwards competed at the World Judo Championships the following month without any of the symptoms of concussion.
They returned after a bad landing during a fight in Uzbekistan in October but Edwards went on to compete in Portugal the following week.
"I knew that if I fought in Portugal I had a big chance of a medal and gaining more Rio qualification points," she added.
"At that time I just didn't realise how serious my concussion was."
Edwards took two months off, returning for an event in Cuba in January and again fought without any concussion symptoms but a further blow to the head in Paris led to the medical team ordering her to take an extended break.
Hundreds of homes in Welsh local authorities have had the insulation removed due to damp and condensation.
A report for a body advising the Welsh Government has recommended a wider investigation into the issue.
Construction Excellence in Wales (CEW) also wants better risk assessments on suitability for cavity insulation.
"There is evidence that that cavity wall insulation or external wall insulation has been installed in unsuitable properties, or without due regard for best practice," stated the authors of the report for CEW.
As many as 900,000 homes in Wales are built with cavity walls, according to the investigation. It was carried out by the construction research organisation BRE.
BRE said a survey in 2008 revealed that at least half those homes had the cavity gap filled with insulating material.
"The proportion of dwellings with insulated walls is likely to have risen considerably since this time," added the experts.
The report makes three main recommendations:
Pauline Saunders from Newport set-up the campaign group Cavity Insulation Victims Alliance and said she is not surprised by the report findings.
She said she has been contacted by around a thousand people and helped hundreds get funding to remove damaging insulation.
"It's confirming what we've known all along - that the cavity wall insulation industry is rubbish and it's ruined people's lives," she said.
"I've a file of cases about 12 inches deep. Wales has some of the worst cases. There needs to be an in-depth report because no-one has any figures."
The report for CEW has backed that argument, noting that its current findings are based on a small number of self-selected properties that had problems with damp.
The former Scotland player believes the focus should be on beating Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Malta, rather than toppling group favourites England.
He also believes Gareth Southgate replacing Sam Allardyce as England manager may not be to their detriment.
"I think that would possibly make England stronger actually," said 1978 World Cup hero Gemmill.
"Gareth has been in the England set-up for quite a few years. He is someone who's a bit younger, a bit fresher and he may have some different ideas. I think it may help them."
Southgate has taken over for the next four games after Allardyce's departure, which followed a newspaper investigation claiming he offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers.

Gemmill, who scored one of the great World Cup goals against the Netherlands in the 1978 finals, believes Scotland will still find it tough to finish above the Auld Enemy.
"I think Scotland should look at it as it being a group minus England," he said.
"The two games against England are going to be absolutely massive, but if Scotland can concentrate on picking up the points against Lithuania, Slovakia and Malta and take it as winning that group of teams, then they are going to be in a play-off for the World Cup.
"Slovakia will not be easy in any way, shape or form so I think if you can get second position, everybody will be delighted.
"But if everything goes for you over the next 18 months and you finish first, absolutely delighted."
Gordon Strachan's men face Lithuania at Hampden Park on Saturday before travelling to Trnava to face Slovakia on Tuesday, 11 October as they look to build on last month's 5-1 win over Malta.
But Kenny Dalglish, Scotland's most-capped player, has warned Lithuania will provide much sterner opposition than Malta, and that a 1-0 win would suffice.
Dalglish said: "If we get a good result it sets us on our way. Many people are saying it's a must-win but it's just two games into the qualifying section.
"It's important that you win, it's important that you get as many points as possible early doors but I wouldn't say it's that desperate at the moment.
"You don't need to be winning four and five, 1-0 will do us fine.
"Lithuania have been here a couple of times in recent years and they always seem to be big, strong and quite well organised. Maybe they are a little bit more defensive than what you would like, but it's going to be a difficult game to try and break them down.
"At the end of the day we just need to be patient. If we get a fluke or an own goal and it gets us through then fine, we'll have that."
Kelly Jennings, whose father Harvey Jennings leads Derby City Council, said the government was slashing budgets in the wrong areas nationally and locally.
Ms Jennings, 26, a single mother who voted Conservative in the last general election, said cuts were hurting the most vulnerable people.
Mr Jennings was quoted as saying his daughter could make her own decisions.
The council recently approved budget cuts of almost £25m, that could result in 530 staff job losses.
This included the closure of six children's centres, reducing some adult support services and increasing charges for burials and parking.
At the same time the council is renovating its headquarters at the cost of £40m.
Ms Jennings said: "I voted for the Conservatives because I thought there was going to be more help for the NHS.
"Now they are cutting that off and locally they are cutting off the Sure Start centres which single parents like myself rely on."
She said her father "was a bit shocked from what I could tell but he was also pleasantly surprised and wished me well".
Derby City Council said it had done all it could to reduce the impact on front-line services.

Wowi, as he was widely known, earned a reputation as a hard-working, hard-partying mayor.
Midway through his 13 years in office, he was one of Germany's most popular politicians, the unofficial crown prince of the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) and a potential contender for chancellor.
Now, at the end of his tenure, Berliners are left scratching their heads wondering what exactly his legacy is. And the 61-year-old's ambitions for the future are unclear.
But it all started with a bang.
Just before Klaus Wowereit became mayor in 2001, he coined one of his best-known catchphrases. "I am gay and that's just fine" (German: Ich bin schwul, und das ist gut so), he told the party conference that nominated him for the capital city's top job.
The fact that in 2014 such a coming-out would seem fairly unremarkable in German society must be one of his main achievements.
His easy-going openness on the subject helped create a tolerant atmosphere in the German mainstream, and when Guido Westerwelle became the country's first openly gay member of government as foreign minister in 2009, his sexual orientation barely made headlines.
During his first years in office, the mayor and the city he governed seemed to be in tune with each other.
Post-reunification Berlin had seen a dramatic economic downturn.
East Berlin's inefficient industry - a heritage of communist times - had crumbled and West Berlin had experienced an exodus of companies that no longer enjoyed tax breaks granted while the Wall had isolated the city.
Unemployment soared to about 20%, and Berlin had to reinvent itself as, in Klaus Wowereit's words, "poor but sexy" (German: arm, aber sexy).
That second, famous catchphrase was the self-portrait of a city that saw itself as young, vibrant, creative, open and slightly anarchic. Different, at least, from saturated, and rather boring, communities like Munich or Hamburg.
And it suited the mayor's flamboyant nature, his penchant for rubbing shoulders with artists and celebrities.
"After years of mismanagement, Wowereit was a much-needed breath of fresh air," says Artur Fischer, CEO of the Berlin Stock Exchange. "You can argue whether he was just riding the wave of excitement or whether he created it. Either way, he understood what the city needed."
Never one to miss a party, Klaus Wowereit brushed off criticism of his style by arguing that on his nights out he was networking, negotiating, learning - in fact, working.
And while Berlin today is still relatively poor and dependent on subsidies from richer states in Germany's south, the city is much better off, attracting not only tourists from all over the world, but entrepreneurs from the digital and media industry, too.
The mayor's popularity among Berliners was strong enough to overcome lingering Cold War divisions, according to Peter Matuschek of polling institute Forsa.
"Whereas the conservative CDU [Christian Democrats] still have their support base in West Berlin and the post-communist Linke in the East, Wowereit managed to make the Social Democrats an all-Berlin party," Mr Mattuschek says.
But it was not to last. Klaus Wowereit seemed to lose his touch.
His decline dates back to 2010, when, after a long series of breakdowns in public transport, he chose to tell Berliners not to complain instead of addressing the problem.
He was surprised when a referendum on opening up public parkland for development did not bring the expected result, and commentators took it as a vote against him.
But what really cost him political credibility was his refusal to take responsibility for the monumental public relations disaster of Berlin's new airport, known as BER.
The opening in 2012 was called off with just days to go, due to missing safety features, and even now no-one can say with any certainty when the airport will finally start operating. Probably not before 2017, and maybe even later.
Klaus Wowereit was chair of the airport's supervisory board but rather than stepping down when the extent of the scandal became apparent, he put all the blame on the technical staff.
"This has damaged the brand 'Made in Germany' immensely," says the head of the Berlin Stock Exchange.
"I regret to say this, but 10 years from now this is what the world will remember him for: the airport that didn't open."
Forsa pollster Matuschek is more forgiving. "He may have neglected the burdensome parts of his job but Wowereit will be remembered as the man who opened reunified Berlin to the world."
Berliners seem to agree. Having sunk in the opinion polls to become the city's most unpopular politician earlier this year, Klaus Wowereit saw himself reconciled with many after deciding to step down.
Most now believe they will remember him for the good he has done for the city of his birth.
He will play Jane Austen's much-loved character in an adaptation of PD James's Death Comes To Pemberley.
The book places the Pride and Prejudice characters Elizabeth Bennett, Fitzwilliam Darcy and George Wickham in a murder mystery.
Anna Maxwell Martin will play Bennett, while Matthew Goode takes on the role of Wickham.
Rhys, who is currently starring in US show The Americans, said he was very aware there would be comparisons with Firth's well-known performance in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
"Exciting as it is, one of the challenges of a part such as Darcy are the comparisons that will be drawn to those who've institutionalised him in the past," he said.
"The beauty of Pemberley is that it is an entirely new and different Darcy six years on," he said.
"And also, I don't have to appear from a lake in a white shirt and breeches," he added, referring to the famous scene in the BBC adaptation where Firth emerged from a lake.
Death Comes to Pemberley picks up with Elizabeth and Darcy years after their wedding, where they have two young sons and are preparing for the annual ball at their home.
The book, which was an international best-seller, has been adapted by Juliette Towhidi, the writer of Calendar Girls.
Filming will begin in June on location in Yorkshire.
Willie Walsh. chief executive of IAG, said an engineer disconnected a power supply, with the major damage caused by a surge when it was reconnected.
He said there would now be an independent investigation "to learn from the experience".
However, some experts say that blaming a power surge is too simplistic.
Mr Walsh, appearing at an annual airline industry conference in Mexico on Monday, said: "It's very clear to me that you can make a mistake in disconnecting the power.
"It's difficult for me to understand how to make a mistake in reconnecting the power," he said.
He told reporters that the engineer was authorised to be in the data centre, but was not authorised "to do what he did".
IAG has commissioned an "independent company to conduct a full investigation" into the IT crash and is "happy to disclose details" of its findings, Mr Walsh said. The name of the company involved had not been disclosed.
The BBC reported last week that senior company executives at IAG were pushing for an external probe into the computer meltdown.
BA had said that a power surge caused the computer problem, but gave little further explanation.
However, an email leaked to the media last week suggested that a contractor doing maintenance work inadvertently switched off the power supply.
The email said: "This resulted in the total immediate loss of power to the facility, bypassing the backup generators and batteries... After a few minutes of this shutdown, it was turned back on in an unplanned and uncontrolled fashion, which created physical damage to the systems and significantly exacerbated the problem."
But the BBC's transport correspondent, Richard Westcott, has spoken to IT experts who are sceptical that a power surge could wreak such havoc on the data centres.
BA has two data centres about a kilometre apart. There are question marks over whether a power surge could hit both. Also, there should be fail-safes in place, our correspondent said.
BA has already launched its own internal investigation, led by its chief executive Alex Cruz.
Following the computer crash, which caused travel chaos for people travelling from Heathrow and Gatwick, Mr Walsh gave his full backing to Mr Cruz.
BA and IAG also rejected claims that the incident was due to Mr Cruz's decision to outsource the airline's IT department to India as part of cost-cutting measures.
Also on Monday, Mr Walsh apologised again for the incident, saying: "When you see customers who suffered, you wouldn't want it to happen to any airline or any business."
He added: ""I wouldn't suggest for one minute we got communications right at BA, we didn't."
Flood support workers estimate about 80 people in the county are affected.
Insurance company Integra said some customers gave inaccurate information.
Those whose policies have been declared worthless are pinning their hopes on an appeal to the industry ombudsman.
Steven Boyd, of Carlisle, told the BBC that Integra informed him his policy was void as he lives in an area that had previously been flooded and he had not paid a flood premium.
Three months after his property was stripped in a clean-up operation, he and his wife are living in their upstairs rooms and have no hot water. He is looking at using money from his pension fund to pay for repairs.
However, insurance expert Joel Zimelstern said he understands Mr Boyd should not have had to declare his property as being at risk due to flood prevention measures having been installed by the Environment Agency in recent years.
Paul Hendy, of the Carlisle Flood Recovery Centre, is taking a number of cases to the ombudsman on behalf of those whose claims have been voided.
He said: "It's bad enough going through a flood, it's bad enough having your home stripped out, it's bad enough losing all your personal possessions in a skip.
"We have people in the centre sobbing their eyes out because this is unreal."
Carlisle's Conservative MP John Stevenson said: "In most cases I'm seeing it's innocent error - they've just made a small mistake.
"I think these companies should have been aware if it was a flood area and if they had any issues when somebody signed up they should have gone back to the person who took out the policy."
He is appealing for anyone affected to contact him.
Integra said it does not discuss customers' details with the media.
The largest universities get the bulk of the funds because that is where the best research is conducted. But that means that they continue to thrive while the rest are left in their wake. It also means that new high-tech industries tend to base themselves around the large universities which tend to be in the South East of England.
Research funding is distributed by scientific experts, who are independent of ministers. They do so on the basis of the quality of research and the strength and reputation of the research group. This tried and tested formula has seen the emergence of some of the world's highest ranking research universities.
It has also meant that the UK leads in many areas of science. With less than 1% of the world's population the UK produces 16% of top quality published research.
The new Science Minister, Jo Johnson, has signalled there may be a shift in research funding.
In his first major policy speech Mr Johnson has indicated that research funds could in future be distributed more widely across the UK. Currently nearly half of public science spending is concentrated in Oxford, Cambridge and London. He also indicated that there would be more emphasis on research to drive growth.
He chose to make his announcement in the north of England. Addressing an audience at the Rolls-Royce Factory of the Future, which is part of the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, he described his new strategy as "one nation science".
"The fact is, 46% of public investment in research goes to the Golden Triangle (internationally renowned universities in London, Oxford and Cambridge). We must and we will continue to fund research on the basis of excellence and ensure we are competing with the very best in the world," he said.
"But we do have to ensure we recognise that other parts of the country that have proven research excellence in their universities, and ensure we fund excellence wherever it is found in order to realise the productivity gains that we have seen in the Golden Triangle. To achieve this we need a new approach - one that promotes and protects our reputation for world-class science, and also drives growth and raises productivity for the whole of the UK."
A shift in research funding would see what some would argue as a more equitable distribution of public money for research and aid in economic regeneration in other parts of the country. Such a plan would fit in with Chancellor George Osborne's plan to develop a "northern powerhouse".
Mr Osborne signalled his intent during the previous coalition government when he pledged £235m for a graphene research centre in Manchester.
Graphene is a relatively new type of material that some believe will lead to innovative electronic products. Critics at the time argued that the centre should have been based in Cambridge, which has a world-class materials research centre.
There was also concern that such decisions were being made by ministers to fund their own "pet projects".
Mr Johnson was at pains to stress that, although following in the same vein, his new approach would be more formalised and more transparent.
He has asked officials to work with local areas to audit local research and innovation strengths and infrastructure.
"These [audits] will provide a new way to identify and build on areas of greatest potential in every region," he said. They will be "open and transparent".
Such an approach seems to have won the cautious endorsement of the president of the Royal Society, Sir Paul Nurse.
"The science budget needs to be invested in the best science, wherever it is, but there is a strong economic case for investing regional development cash in the best research in different parts of the UK. This cannot be a case of excellence versus location - what is required is greater public and private investment in science so we can have both, " he told BBC News.

There is concern among some senior researchers at Oxford, Cambridge and London that not only will they lose out, but that economic development will drive science spending at the cost of funding the highest quality research - notably theirs.
Others though acknowledge that this is a risk but take a more pragmatic approach. One senior scientist involved in funding told me that this strategy was probably the best way of maintaining high-quality research.
"It's not a case of shifting money from Cambridge to Manchester," he said. "But potentially it is a way of getting money we otherwise might not have otherwise from other pots in government."
Naomi Weir, the acting director of the Campaign for Science and Engineering, said: "Shifting around investment within the science budget without increasing its spending power will not deliver the scale of success government wants and the UK needs in terms of discovery, innovation, productivity and jobs."
Another respected and highly influential scientist said that there needs to be more of a "conversation" between the scientific community, government and the public. And this need not be at the cost of high-quality research - "quite the opposite", he believes.
Money is the bottom line for the great and the good of the science world that I spoke to. While many are perturbed by the noises that seem to be emerging from the government, they know that the chancellor is having to consider making deep cuts to government expenditure.
So far science has been relatively protected. The chancellor agreed to save it from the axe in 2010 and its budget has remained frozen and protected. But it has been eroded by inflation over the past five years and so even in this privileged position the heads of the UK research funding councils are having to consider cutting high-quality research.
By playing the economic development card science leaders hope they can avoid the cuts and may be able to squeeze a modest increase from the chancellor.

This is the question facing the growing community of academic and commercial researchers exploring the potential of synthetic biology.
For those pioneering this new field, the science offers a whole realm of exhilarating possibilities - dreaming up and building new organisms that will perform exactly what's ordered. It is a vision for taking control of nature.
Synthetic biology is a dimension beyond genetic modification.
While GM involves taking genes from one organism and inserting them in another, synthetic biology involves designing and creating artificial genes and implanting them instead - not just borrowing from the natural world but rewriting it or even reinventing it.
I used virtual reality to try to explain it last year.
At a major conference this week in London - the BioBricks Foundation SB6.0 - excited talk suggested that synthetic biology could become the next big thing in everything from energy to medicines to industry.
As Science Minister David Willetts put it to the gathering, synthetic biology could "fuel us, heal us and feed us" and the UK government is trumpeting an investment of some £60m for the field.
Organisms such as bacteria can be engineered to detect pathogens in drinking water or produce the key ingredient for anti-malarial drugs.
A synthetic stretch of DNA has been designed to react to a key molecule released by sufferers of cystic fibrosis - and the DNA is further programmed to change colour when the molecule is detected, which could shrink the time needed for tests from 48 hours to just two.
One international project is making synthetic chromosomes for yeast - the most complex organism for which this has been attempted. It would help illuminate the workings of cell biology and allow yeast to be exploited for far more than making bread or beer.
Other goals include biological computing, designing biology to act as electronic circuitry, and artificial photosynthesis, making synthetic leaves to produce fuel.
This is work on a new frontier, spawning new language - biotransformation, biological blueprints, designing a living chassis, seeing cells as factories.
Public appetite
But hovering over the debates is the issue of public acceptance, especially in Europe. For American researchers at the conference, this is less of a challenge - GM food has been eaten in the US for a decade or more.
But if the EU has not approved a new GM crop for cultivation for nearly 20 years, how will the far more radical technologies of synthetic biological organisms go down?
Lionel Clarke, of Shell - whose job title, as head of "biodomain and open innovation" would have been inconceivable a few years ago - warned the conference that industries would not pursue technologies that risked their reputations. He cited Monsanto's experience with GM.
Dr Clarke chairs an advisory panel for the government, which came up with a road map for synthetic biology development in Britain.
"You have to bring society with you," he said.
"Industries are selling to markets and markets have to be receptive."
With GM, "there may have been an overenthusiastic assumption that if the technology worked then everybody would want it," Dr Clarke added.
Dr Steve Laderman, of Agilent Laboratories, a spin-off from Hewlett Packard, said that while one risk was technical - "Will this function as hoped?", another was linked to the market - "Will people buy it?"
Reshma Shetty, who runs Gingko BioWorks, a synthetic biology company, said that Monsanto "had been portrayed as the most evil corporation" so there had to be more "forward thinking" about explaining the new science to potential consumers.
Two of the organisers of the conference, Prof Richard Kitney and Prof Paul Freemont, of Imperial College, point to the constant engagement of social scientists in all synthetic biology thinking.
Right from the start of each project, the ethical and environmental implications are considered - the aim being to head off the kind of reactions that GM produced.
Prof Freemont told me: "There could well be a backlash but we're desperately trying to be transparent - it's all open, this event and most of the research is published in open-access literature."
And Prof Kitney said everything was guided by what he called "responsible innovation... which means that this incredibly exciting field has to be developed in the context of what it means for society and the environment and ethics".
One priority is to try to ensure that the research, much of which is highly international and collaborative, all operates on those principles.
Next week, national academies from the UK, the US and China will meet in London to discuss the next steps in synthetic biology, including developing codes of conduct. One risk might be that a project in one country proves unnerving to others and colours the reputation of the entire field.
This effort to be proactive does distinguish these early days of synthetic biology from the equivalent stage of GM - and its pioneers hope to convince people of the likely benefits before they are put off by negative stories about the risks.
GM's terrible launch in Europe coloured impressions of it for a generation.
Synthetic biology, which is in its infancy, is not widely known about. No product of this new research has yet reached the European market. A defining test is still to come.
The rights group called on Nigeria's government to investigate the deaths in the south-eastern city of Onitsha last month.
The Nigerian military described the claims as unfounded and misleading.
At least one million people died in the 1967-70 civil war started by Biafran secessionists. Protests have resumed over the past year.

Should new calls for Biafra worry Nigerians?
According to Amnesty, some of those who died were members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob), a group campaigning for Biafran independence.
Some had been shot in the back, an indication that they were fleeing the scene, Amnesty said.
Ipob says Nigeria's government is dominated by northerners and has not done enough to develop the mostly Igbo-speaking south-eastern parts of Nigeria.

Having begun the game requiring six points to secure promotion, that came down to five when title rivals Sussex failed to achieve maximum bonus points against Worcestershire at Hove.
Glamorgan only managed to add 30 to their overnight 256-7, as David Masters (2-58) took two of their final three wickets, including teenager Kiran Carlson, who was caught behind for 119.
Bowling out the Welsh county gave Essex three points, but they were soon in trouble in reply when Meschede produced a destructive spell with the new ball.
Ravi Bopara was stumped off spinner Owen Morgan, but the arrival of Ten Doeschate to join Wheater provided the stability the innings needed.
Wheater, in his first innings since rejoining the county from Hampshire, struck eight fours before he too fell to Morgan and it was former captain James Foster (33 not out) who kept Ten Doeschate company to the close in an unbroken stand of 90.
Essex captain Ryan ten Doeschate told BBC Essex:
"Job done. It would have been nicer to fly past the winning post, but as much as we tried to avoid it, this game was really about getting those bonus points.
"It's a bit weird winning it on day two, the game's not won and there's obviously a lot of work to do.
"But I think it's great to achieve what we set out to do at the start of the year.
"It's a massive cliché, but everyone has chipped in. That's what you need to have a successful season."
Glamorgan all-rounder Craig Meschede told BBC Wales Sport:
"Credit to them, they've played very well all season so well done to them - but there's still a game of cricket to be played and won.
"It was pretty much the same situation (after his three early wickets in the Essex innings) that we were in, that once the ball gets softer, it didn't move around so much and it's easier to score runs.
"It's crucial we come back and get a few wickets, we've got the new ball early so we've got to make the most of that and bowl them over.
"It's definitely one of the hotter days I've played cricket in, even considering playing in South Africa, but you can't complain, it's meant to be a sunny sport."
Police were called to Staple Lane in Balderton, near Newark, at about midnight after the crash between a Ford Focus and a Volkswagen Passat.
Francis Martell, 21, from Newark, the driver of the Ford Focus, died shortly afterwards.
The driver of the other car suffered serious leg injuries and was taken to hospital. Police urged anyone who saw the crash to contact them.
They said they were "particularly keen" to speak to any drivers in the area at the time with dashcam footage.
But they add that the drop will roughly be balanced by slow uplift due to tectonic activity.
And they have yet to analyse satellite images of the region in which the most famous Himalayan peak - Everest - is located.
However, there continues to be debate over exactly how tall Everest is.
"The primary stretch that had its height dropped is a 80-100km stretch of the Langtang Himal (to the northwest of the capital, Kathmandu)," said Richard Briggs, a research geologist with the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
The Langtang range is the region where many locals and trekkers are still missing, presumed dead, after the avalanches and landslides that were triggered by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake on 25 April.
Scientists believe the height of a handful of other Himalayan peaks, including the Ganesh Himal to the west of the Langtang range, may also have dropped.
The satellite images they have analysed so far have focused on central Nepal, which was the hardest hit by the quake. Everest is to the east of this main shaking zone.
Scientists say whether or not the world's highest peak saw a change in its height by few centimetres will have to be further confirmed by ground survey and GPS or an airborne mission.
"But what we see in the data that we evaluated further away from the plate boundary, to the north of the capital Kathmandu, is a clearly identifiable region with subsidence of up to 1.5m," says Christian Minet, a geologist with the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), which processed the Nepal earthquake data sent by the Sentinel-1a satellite.
Scientists with DLR's Earth Observation Centre of compared two separate images of the same region sent by the satellite, before and after the quake.
"The positive value we have received (from the satellite image) after the quake means the area (the mountains in and around the Langtang region) is further away from the satellite and it is lower now," said Mr Minet.
"But with this result we cannot say that a specific mountain is one-point-something-metres lower; it is the general area that we can assess."
He said the satellite images showed the area of the mountain range had dropped by 0.7m-1.5m.
The study has also found that areas including the capital, Kathmandu, to the south of the Himalayan mountains have been uplifted by the quake.
"The negative value we have received from the acquisitions of the before and after earthquake images means that some areas (Kathmandu and its surroundings) are now closer to the satellite, and that means they have seen an uplift," says Mr Minet.
Scientists say the drop and the uplift are normal geological behaviour during an earthquake of this scale.
"The fault underneath Kathmandu has slipped and it's moved the overriding part of the crust to the south towards the southern end of the part that squashes the crust; and to the northern end it stretches it," says Tim Wright, professor of satellite geodesy at the University of Leeds.
"From where it is squashed, which is more or less underneath Kathmandu, we get uplift. And where it stretches, which is in the high mountains to the north of Kathmandu in this case, we get subsidence.
"The biggest amount of slip on the fault was actually just north of Kathmandu, so it's the mountains north of Kathmandu that have subsided the most in this particular case."
Normally, the Himalayas are on the rise because of the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
But during major earthquakes the process gets reversed, experts say.
"Between earthquake events, Nepal is being squashed and the part (including Kathmandu) nearest the big fault underneath it is being dragged down by the Indian plate, and [areas] further back are being lifted up as you imagine squashing something is going to push things up," says Prof Wright.
"Now, during the earthquake itself what happens is the opposite. The part that was dragged down because it was stuck at the fault - that slips freely and rebounds up, and the part that was being squashed upwards drops down."
Authorities in Nepal say they are yet to assess the impacts of the earthquake on the Himalayas as they are still occupied with rescue and rehabilitation after the devastating earthquake.
The Condor Liberation is now the only ferry operating between Guernsey, Jersey and the UK.
Captain Fran Collins, executive director of operations, said: "It's a milestone in Condor's history.
"It's the first time a vessel of this type has been used in northern Europe so it's pretty exciting to see her going to sea with a full complement."
The 102m (335ft) long vessel was built by Austal shipbuilders in Australia and can carry up to 880 passengers and 245 vehicles.
Following its purchase the firm sold the smaller Vitesse and Express ferries to Greek company Seajets, with Vitesse already delivered and Express due to follow once Condor Ferries is happy with the new ferry in service.
The Liberation is supposed to be able to operate in bigger waves than the smaller ferries, but is not yet licensed to do so.
Captain Collins said: "At the moment she has a limit of three and a half metres [of wave height], which is the same as the previous vessels.
"The Maritime and Coastguard Agency impose that limit on any high speed craft operating in these waters until she's been proven otherwise.
"Through the summer we'll take a series of assessments in heavy weather... and we hope to get that increased come the autumn."
The bigger ferry cannot operate to Weymouth so sailings to the UK port ended on Monday.
The 38-year-old, who took 248 Test wickets, finished top after a formula was applied to determine which of the 10 leading England wicket-takers had taken more of their wickets against better batsmen.
"I was very surprised," said Hoggard. "There were some fantastic bowlers in the top 10 but it's given me plenty of bragging rights."
With James Anderson just four wickets away from replacing Botham as England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker, BBC Sport asked Test Match Special statistician Andrew Samson to take the top 10 England Test wicket-takers of all time and give every single one of their wickets a numerical rating between one and 11 based on the career average of the batsman they dismissed.
A batsman with a career average of between 0-5 would be worth one point, while a batsman with an average above 55 would be worth 11 points. Those numerical ratings were then added up and divided by the number of wickets taken.
"I haven't really sat back and looked at stats - I still haven't watched the 2005 Ashes DVD," said Hoggard. "There's a lot of time to do that when I'm a lot older and have my grandson on my knee while smoking a pipe.
"Opening the bowling with a swinging ball, you had a good chance of getting early wickets. It's no surprise I did well against the top order."
Hoggard played the last of his 67 Tests in 2008 and retired from county cricket in 2013, and he says his role in the team was to build pressure rather than being an out and out strike bowler.
"If the captain needed a wicket, he would chuck the ball to Steve Harmison, Simon Jones or Andrew Flintoff," said Hoggard. "I controlled the game and if we wanted maidens they would chuck the ball to me. I was used more to build up the pressure rather than as a strike bowler.
"My game plan didn't change from number one to number 11. There might have been a little more aggression towards number 11 because I could bounce them and feel quick and good about myself but it's exactly the same ball which would get the wickets.
"For me, the best I played with would be Flintoff. On his day he was devastating - just like Steve Harmison and Simon Jones could be."
And what about Hoggard's best performances in an England shirt? He took seven five-wicket hauls, but rates the one he recorded against South Africa at the beginning of 2005 as his personal highlight.
"My best bowling was most probably the second innings at Johannesburg," said Hoggard. "I took 7-61 and 12 in the game.
"I got 5-144 in the first innings and I thought I'd bowled like a bag of spanners.
"It was always a friendly pitch - they called it the green mamba in South Africa - but I'd never bowled well on it until this day.
"It seemed to click in the second innings. I got Jacques Kallis first ball and to bowl South Africa out in 70 overs was fantastic."

And 410 educational establishments had their licences to sponsor international students revoked in the same period.
The Home Office said it was cracking down on immigration abuse.
But the National Union of Students said international students were being "scapegoated" in order to meet targets on net migration.
The Home Office count incoming and departing international students when setting its targets on net migration, despite fears from some leading politicians that this risks harming UK universities.
The figures, released by the Home Office under Freedom of Information rules, show 99,635 students had their visas curtailed in the three years to the end of December 2015:
Of the educational establishments that lost their licences, there were
Some later had their licences reinstated - but, overall, the number of establishments holding them fell from 1,706 in 2013 to 1,405 by the end of last year.
In its response to the BBC's Freedom of Information request, the Home Office said it was unable to provide specific details of the types of institutions that had lost their licences.
But, in a statement, it said the revocations had been focused on "poor quality institutions".
During the period, no universities had their licences revoked - though a few had them temporarily suspended.
A Home Office spokesman said, since 2010, it had "cracked down on immigration abuse from poor quality institutions which were damaging the UK's reputation as a provider of world-class education, whilst maintaining a highly competitive offer for international students who wish to study at our world-leading institutions".
He said the strategy was working.
"Visa applications from international students to study at British universities are up by 17% since 2010, whilst visa applications to our elite Russell Group universities up by 39%," he said.
"We will continue to reform the student visa system to tackle abuse and deliver an effective immigration system that works in the national interest."
Where leave to remain is curtailed, individuals are given 60 working days' notice and "are encouraged to depart voluntarily", according to the spokesman.
"It they fail to do so enforcement action can be taken," he added.
But Dominic Scott, chief executive of the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA), said: "If these figures are correct, then they show that the Home Office's action against students has been even more draconian than previously understood.
"And many fear of course that it may have been more in pursuit of meeting a net migration target than addressing real abuse."
NUS international students' officer Mostafa Rajaai said the "shocking" figures were "clear evidence the Home Office is following a political agenda, rather than trying to remove real cheats".
"It has a clear disregard for the right to a fair trial and the past six years have seen the steady erosion of international students' rights within the UK," he said.
Mr Rajaai quoted NUS research suggesting most non-EU students thought the government was unwelcoming towards international students.
"If the government continues to scapegoat overseas students in order to hit its immigration targets, the damage to the UK's reputation as a desirable place to study will only worsen," he said.
"The only solution is for immigration targets to be scrapped completely."
According to official figures, 201,763 students applied for UK study visas last year.
These include:
According to an Office of National Statistics published in January, 192,000 international students arrived in the UK for long-term study in the year to June 2015 - down from a peak of 238,000 in 2010.
Most of this fall has been in further education, says the ONS, and is due to the tightening of immigration rules.
Authorities said the 33-year-old agreed to surrender himself on 3 June, when he is expected to appear in a federal court in Los Angeles.
The actor was arrested in December after police seized computer equipment they say contained thousands of images.
If convicted, the charges each carry a maximum 20-year prison sentence.
Police arrested Salling after investigators received a tip he was in possession of images of children being sexually abused. He was released on $20,000 (£18,000) bail and was initially expected to be charged in Los Angeles County court.
But after authorities realised the "scope of the collection", the case was handed over to federal prosecutors, the US Attorney's Office said.
A laptop, a hard drive and a mobile flash drive were seized from Salling's home. The actor was charged with one count of using the internet to obtain a pornographic still image and video of young girls, and a second count of possessing two child pornography videos that also feature young girls.
Prosecutors said investigators are continuing to review the material seized.
"The traditional stereotype about the kinds of people who commit child sexual exploitation crimes simply doesn't dovetail with reality," Joseph Macias, a special agent in charge for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement announcing the charges.
He added that suspects can be of "all ages and from all walks of life."
Salling played bad-boy football player Noah "Puck" Puckerman on the hit US show Glee from 2009 to 2015.
His representatives have yet to make a statement on the charges.
The Tykes are 17th in the table, seven points clear of the relegation zone and seven off the play-off places.
Wilson, 55, who led Barnsley to the Premiership in 1997, returned to Oakwell for a second spell as boss in December 2013, but was unable to stop them being relegated last season.
In a statement, the club called the current league position "unacceptable".
Wilson first took over at Barnsley in 1994 but left for Sheffield Wednesday in 1998 after the Tykes were relegated back to the second tier following one season in the top flight.
The former Northern Ireland international midfielder went on to have spells in charge at Bristol City, MK Dons, Hartlepool, Swindon and Sheffield United before returning to the club after the sacking of David Flitcroft.
"Danny Wilson took over at Barnsley in difficult circumstances, and couldn't halt the slide.
"The plan for a young and hungry team has merits but it was never settled and the loss of key players to injury haven't helped him.
"On their day the Reds looked extremely capable, but that clearly hasn't happened enough.
"The immediate reaction to Wilson's departure has been mixed, with some fans thinking he should have been given longer."
Wilson reached 1,000 games in management in December and said at the time that he felt the achievement would become rarer as clubs sought immediate results.
Following Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat by Fleetwood, he acknowledged that his position was in doubt.
He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "Everyone wants to see their team win at home and the inconsistency is there to be seen.
"We have to persevere and be patient, but whether that is a watchword that is at a premium at this moment in time we will have to wait and see."
Academy coach Mark Burton and development coach Paul Heckingbottom have been placed in caretaker charge for the game against struggling Crawley on Saturday.
It slowly mouldered into the earth, its glory days as a junction box in County Tyrone long forgotten, until a chance conversation revealed its whereabouts to a railway enthusiast.
And so, it began its final journey from Ballinamallard to Downpatrick in County Down and a new lease of life.
"It's got a history of its own, it's got a life of its own," says David Crone, the chief civil engineer at the Downpatrick and County Down Railway Museum.
"It's been in three different counties, it's had many adventures getting here and it's the genuine article.
"The cabin was built in 1893 and most of what you see here is original."
It has been restored in green and white and given a new name - Downpatrick East - to reflect where it sits in the museum station.
It has a full set of junction levers, each meticulously labelled.
It is a transformation that enthusiast Alan Devers, of the Headhunters Railway Museum in Enniskillen, never dreamed of, having seen the condition of the box when it was found.
"The fact that it had physically survived and hadn't been bulldozed, or just collapsed - it was good to see it, but it's even better to see it as it is now and to see it in a railway context.
"You would never have believed that it would end up back in railway use as it now, is so that is something else."
The railways in the western counties shut in 1957. Sixty years on, they still hold a fascination.
"People still have a nostalgic sentiment for the railway," says Alan.
"It was quite a major closure. It had great repercussions in the Republic [of Ireland] as well, because later on, it meant the closure of the line from Clones to Dundalk.
"So it dealt a major blow. It was certainly highly opposed within Fermanagh and had a very traumatic effect on people in the west.
"In fact, I think the west has never fully recovered from the great closure of 1957."
For Willie Gault, it is a day he recalls with great sadness.
He was a boy porter at Florence Court station in County Fermanagh, before being transferred to Enniskillen to work as a guard shunter. But that all came to an end in 1957.
"I could do nothing about it," he says. "They said the railway was closed. But I continued my work until three o'clock that day and that was me finished with the railway."
But a trip to Downpatrick brought him back to his youth, to officially open the restored junction box and to pull the levers once again.
"You let the signal down and the train went through, then you went back up again and you put the signal back up, and the train went through," he recalls.
"I loved working it, I loved working the cabin full-time.
"When I was at Florence Court station I was doing all bits and pieces, all different kinds of work, I was in and out and sweeping round and cleaning up and all, you know."
Willie's verdict on the restored junction box is "perfect" and David Crone is delighted with the work, undertaken with a £10,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
"I think it's fantastic," he says. "It's a testament to the craftsmen who've done the work. It's also the original builders way back in the 1890s.
"Some of the timber was put together with brass screws that were greased before they were put in, which made it a lot easier for the restorers. But it's a testament to them as well, not just this generation but the past generation as well."
Willie is in complete agreement.
"Everything is perfect in it. The levers are easily pulled, and I'd be back to work here if I was still in my younger days."

Blake Donnellan, 31, was serving part of a 15-year sentence at HMP Sudbury for conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
He was released on temporary licence on Christmas Day but failed to return.
Donnellan, who has links to Manchester, Plymouth and Cornwall, was jailed in 2011 for his part in the operation which saw 30 people convicted.
In 2009 and 2010, drugs with an estimated street value of £1m and nearly £100,000 in cash were seized by police Devon and Cornwall Police.
The haul included 11,000 ecstasy tablets, 14kg of cocaine, 330g of heroin, 2kg of amphetamine and 11kg of BZP (Benzylpiperazine).
The Crown Prosecution Service said Donnellan was the "mover and shaker" in the network and the link between the drugs coming down from Manchester to the Plymouth area and onwards to Cornwall.
He is described as white, 6ft (1.8m) tall and of medium build. He has brown eyes, short dark hair and speaks with a Manchester accent.

Two members of the group Yellow Dogs and a third artist were slain by a fellow musician, Ali Akbar Mahammadi Rafie, who later took his own life.
Police believe the attack happened as Rafie, 29, was upset after being thrown out of another band.
Two of those killed had just received political asylum in the US.
They were brothers and members of the Yellow Dogs, who described themselves on their Twitter feed as "a Post Punk/Dance Punk band from Tehran/Iran, living in Brooklyn at the moment".
Gunfire rang out early on Monday as Rafie climbed from the roof on to a third-floor terrace where he opened fire through a window, shooting dead Ali Eskandarian, 35, a musician, said police.
Arash Farazmand, 28, the Yellow Dogs drummer, was found dead on the same level of the apartment.
His brother, Soroush Farazmand, 27, the band's guitarist, was using his laptop in bed when he received fatal gunshot injuries.
The Yellow Dogs' two other members were not at the flat at the time of the killing.
According to police, another unidentified tenant was hit in the arm as Rafie and a former fellow band mate from a group called the Free Keys struggled over the gun.
Rafie retrieved ammunition that had fallen out of the firearm, went to the roof and shot himself in the head, said police.
The person wounded in the arm was taken to hospital and is said to be in stable condition.
Rafie "was upset that he wasn't in the band anymore", said New York Police Department spokesman John McCarthy.
Investigators believe the gunman and his former Free Keys members, may have had an argument over money, but it was unclear why he shot at members of the Yellow Dogs.
The rifle was found next to Rafie's body, according to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly.
He said it had been purchased in New York state in 2006, and police were tracking its history.
Police are investigating whether a guitar case found near the scene was used to carry the assault rifle in the attack.
The Yellow Dogs were well-known among young Iranian expatriates in the US, reports Bahman Kalbasi of the BBC Persian service.
Ali Salehezadeh, the band's manager, said the gunman knew the victims but had not spoken to them in months because of a "petty conflict".
"There was a decision not to be around each other," he said. "They were never that close to begin with. We thought it was all behind us."
The shooting took place in Brooklyn's East Williamsburg neighbourhood, known for its edgy, creative vibe and community of artists and musicians. The band members had lived in the neighbourhood.
"They seem like really nice guys," a local man, Martin Greenman, told the New York Daily News.
"They didn't seem to be in any way to be violent guys. They weren't rabble rousers or anything like that."
Mr Salehezadeh said the victims' relatives were stunned.
"People don't own guns in Iran," he said. "We don't have this problem there. It doesn't exist."
Members of an Iranian band with the same name were interviewed by US consulate officials in Istanbul in 2009 as they applied for a visa for a US tour, according to a diplomatic cable leaked to Wikileaks.
They described the "small but crazy" underground rock scene in Tehran, saying it was the community that offered "the most free expression" in Iran. | Four Iranian-expatriate musicians living in Brooklyn, New York, have been shot dead in what authorities are labelling a murder-suicide. | 24,903,212 | 783 | 35 | false |

United were 3-0 up at half-time with Tony Kane scoring two and Joe McKinney netting the other while Dungannon's Andrew Burns got an early red card.
Kris Lowe pulled a goal back for Dungannon on 64 minutes but Johnny McMurray restored the three-goal gap.
Jamie Glackin got a second while Kyle Owens headed a fifth for Ballymena who will play Glenavon in Friday's final.
Dungannon, who finished seventh in the Irish Premiership, had gone into the match on the back of four straight league victories.
But they made a terrible start as Kane's shot took a lucky bounce which beat Swifts keeper Stuart Addis for Ballymena's third-minute opener.
Things quickly got worse as Burns was dismissed for a dangerous tackle on Leroy Millar in the fifth minute.
McKinney got his first goal for Ballymena with a curling shot to make it 2-0 and Kane's penalty - after Dougie Wilson's pull back on McMurray - had David Jeffrey's men three up at the break.
Lowe rifled a low shot past United keeper Ross Glendinning in the 64th minute but McMurray got Ballymena's fourth by converting Willie Faulkner's cross.
Glackin steered a shot for Dungannon's second but United defender Owens headed in from a corner for 5-2.
The 21-year-old has scored hat-tricks in his last three matches for the Tigers' development side.
The U's, who have won just one of their last 10 games, are currently 17th in League Two, eight points clear of the relegation zone.
Margetts could make his professional debut in their home match against play-off hopefuls Stevenage on Saturday.
The BBC has spoken to one man who says four members of his family were killed in a night raid involving the SAS in 2011.
The Sunday Times has also reported other allegations of unlawful killing by British special forces.
An investigation into British troops' conduct in Afghanistan began in 2015.
In 2016, the Ministry of Defence said about 600 complaints against British forces in Afghanistan had been made, relating to a period between 2005 and 2013.
The MoD says 90% of those have already been dismissed, with fewer than 10% still the subject of investigation by the Royal Military Police under Operation Northmoor.
The man, who did not want to be named, told the BBC he was held, blindfolded, in a room overnight.
"Early morning, they came and opened my eyes and said to me that I should not go out until they left the area. When the helicopters left the area we came out of the room.
"As soon as I came out of the room I saw that they had shot my father, two brothers and cousin."
The BBC has been told the raid did involve special forces and is now being investigated.
A former British Army intelligence officer, Chris Green, who served in Afghanistan, said he had been blocked when he tried to look into allegations of abuses by special forces officers.
"British forces, and the troops that I worked with, worked under very very strict rules of engagement and it seemed to me that special forces did not have to apply the same rules in quite the same way," he said.
"My overview of their accountability was - I didn't see any.
"When I sought information from them, this wall of secrecy was put in front of me and I could see no good reason why the information I was asking for was denied from me and nor could they give me a good reason for denying me that information."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the former director of public prosecutions, Lord Macdonald, are among those who have called for an independent inquiry into the claims.
"Our armed forces have a reputation for decency and bravery," said Mr Corbyn.
"If we do not act on such shocking allegations we risk undermining that reputation, our security at home and the safety of those serving in the armed forces abroad."
The former head of the army, General Lord Richard Dannatt, said people shouldn't jump to conclusions.
"No witch hunts, but no cover ups," he said.
"If there is evidence of wrongdoing, it should be investigated, but we should be very, very careful of throwing mud at our very special, special forces."
Allegations of widespread abuse in Iraq have already been mostly discredited and that investigation is now closed.
It is understood the 26-year-old was discovered by warehouse workers at Eurocentral near Bellshill.
The Home Office said immigration enforcement was contacted by Police Scotland at about 14:20 on Thursday.
A spokesman added that the man had now been interviewed by immigration officers.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that missiles had hit a public square in the rebel-held village of al-Janudiya.
Many people had gathered there to go shopping, the group added.
Al-Janudiya is situated in the west of Idlib province, which is now almost completely controlled by rebel forces.
An alliance including al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, the al-Nusra Front, seized control of the provincial capital at the end of March, and the major town of Jisr al-Shughour, near al-Janudiya, a month later.
The rebels are now advancing on the Mediterranean coastal province of Latakia, a stronghold of President Bashar al-Assad and his Alawite sect.
The Syrian Observatory and the Local Co-ordination Committees (LCC), an opposition activist network, both said government aircraft had attacked al-Janudiya on Monday.
The LCC put the death toll at 60 and warned that it was likely to rise because some of the dozens of wounded people were in a critical condition.
Syrian government officials have so far not commented on the reports.
The LCC also reported that several people had been killed on Monday in a government air strike in the town of Taftanaz, in eastern Idlib, and that four others had died when government helicopters dropped barrel bombs in the town of Tal Rifaat, in neighbouring Aleppo province.
The UN says more than 220,000 people have been killed since the uprising against Mr Assad began four years ago. Almost 12 million others have been displaced.
Jockey Ryan Moore partnered the Sir Michael Stoute-trained favourite to victory from Wicklow Brave and Elidor on his Chester debut.

"I should think he's got to dip his toe into a slightly bigger pool now," said the Queen's racing manager John Warren.
"I think the way things are going, he's going to take his chance in an upgrade again."
The four-year-old carried a 3lb penalty into the race as a result of victory in the John Porter Stakes last month.
Jockey Moore added: "He's done well. He's progressed and I'm really pleased with him. It wouldn't really be his track but he enjoyed himself."

It comes after National Autistic Society Cymru criticised "patchy" provision for the 34,000 people with autism and Asperger syndrome in Wales.
It said nearly two-thirds of people wait too long for diagnosis and it wants targets to back up the strategy.
The Welsh government said the new service would be more joined up.
64% had issues in obtaining a referral
30% waited less than six months for a first appointment
23% waited six months to a year
44% rated the assessment process as poor or very poor
73% were not given written information about autism
On Tuesday, the National Autistic Society argued Wales needed its own Autism Act, similar to those in England and Northern Ireland, and called for all Welsh political parties to commit to one before May's assembly elections.
Welsh Conservative leader, Andrew RT Davies, has backed that call.
He said: "Wales is crying out for an Autism Bill to ensure people with autism have additional support and to improve understanding of the condition, and prioritise timely diagnosis through statutory means".
An independent analysis of the current Welsh strategy, published last month, said despite improvements, and Wales leading the way in the UK in forming policies, there were weaknesses and it lacked impact.
This included a lack of priorities which created "islands of good practice" rather than systemic change.
The new service, which is backed by £6m from the Welsh government, will be rolled out over the next three years.
It will be a key part of an action plan, which is a refreshed version of one launched eight years ago, and aims to bring together the agencies and health workers involved in supporting people with autism to provide an improved, joined-up service.
The new service will:
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said it would ensure people with autism received "the right support, by the right professional, in the right place, at the right time".
He added: "It will ensure there is consistency across the country, ensuring people with autism are able to access comparable services across Wales."
The "refreshed" action plan will focus on areas such as raising awareness, improving assessment and addressing support issues, including in education and careers support.

He has experienced crime as the victim of a classroom stabbing as a teacher, experienced four burglaries and been involved in two road accidents.
Prof Howson said he knows what it is like to be a victim of crime and believes too much crime is linked to addictions. He believes stopping reoffending is the key to keeping police budgets down.

It comes after an ex-senior call adviser claimed in a Daily Mail article staff at the Dorset site were apparently asleep on the job.
It comes after doubts were recently raised about the non-emergency hotline after the death of a baby in Cornwall.
South Western Ambulance Service rejected some Mail claims ahead of the Care Quality Commission inspection.
In further allegations, Ms Hayes has claimed teenagers were employed to handle calls in a bid to hit targets.
The same Dorset call centre, where non-medically trained call handlers work alongside a limited number of clinicians, was criticised for the way it dealt with calls about William Mead.
A report on his death said he might have lived if call handlers realised the seriousness of his condition.
Whistleblower Ms Hayes, a former member of staff at the centre, said here was "frequently" no on-call clinician at the Dorset or Devon call centres, which are run by the ambulance service (SWAS).
She told the newspaper: "The nurses and paramedics we did have were so exhausted and overworked that some would fall asleep on shift.
"I was angry, of course, but I don't feel it was their fault. Put simply, they were exhausted."
Ruth Rankine, the Care Quality Commission's deputy chief inspector, said: "These allegations are unacceptable. We take them extremely seriously and are planning to carry out an early inspection to investigate."
Ken Wenman, chief executive of SWAS, said the organised "strongly refuted" a number of the allegations made in the Mail but an investigation into some of Ms Hayes' claims has begun.
Galway's quick forwards ripped Donegal apart in the first half with two Johnny Heaney goals and a Liam Silke penalty.
The Connacht side led 3-10 to 0-7 at the break and Donegal went down to 13 men when two players were black-carded with all five subs having been used.
Galway lost Declan Kyne to a red card before Danny Cummins blasted in their fourth goal in added time.
It was a nightmare Round 4A qualifier for the Ulster team at Markievicz Park, although Donegal led 0-5 to 0-4 before Galway seized control.
A series a fisted passes ended with Heaney hitting the roof of the net before Galway were awarded a penalty.
Michael Murphy's mistake let Galway in and keeper Mark Anthony McGinley tripped Tom Flynn - McGinley was black-carded and his replacement Peter Boyle was unable to keep out Silke's penalty.
Midfielder Heaney palmed in the third just before the break and a shell-shocked Donegal side went in 12 points behind at the interval.
Any chance of the Donegal comeback ended with the black cards for captain Murphy and Martin McElhinney early in the second half.
With just 13 players it was matter of damage limitation although Galway were reduced to 14 when Kyne was dismissed for two yellow cards.
Donegal squandered a penalty chance, awarded when Cathal Sweeney was black-carded for a foul on Martin O'Reilly.
Bernard Power kept out Patrick McBrearty's low strike and the keeper also saved the forward's follow-up effort.
Cummins had the final say for an impressive Galway, who progress to an All-Ireland quarter-final against Kerry.
Mayo edged out Cork 0-27 to 2-20 after extra-time in the other qualifier and they will take on Roscommon in the quarter-finals.
The attack took place at about 03:00 in the town's New Street, near to its junction with Weighhouse Close.
The victim was taken by ambulance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital where he is being treated for a serious head injury.
Police Scotland have appealed for witnesses.
Det Insp Stuart Lees, from Paisley police office, said: "Police inquiries are at an early stage to establish more details on the incident that took place and to identify those involved.
"Officers have been gathering CCTV footage and carrying out inquiries in the area."
Terminal cancer will not keep Rodgers' father Malachy away from Wembley when his son's Swansea City side face Reading in Monday's Championship play-off final.
The Swans boss lost mother Christina in 2010 and 12 months on, the 38-year-old Northern Irishman is proud his father will by his side for his "biggest day in football.".
Rodgers Sr planted the seed of "Total Football" in his son's mind, a philosophy that has blossomed into Swansea's celebrated "passing with penetration" style with a work ethic the former painter and decorator can admire.
"Dad loved watching great football teams like Brazil," said Rodgers. "That stuck with me.
"I want to be entertained and my teams to play that way. I enjoy winning but I like to control how to win.
"I used to help dad paint and decorate to earn pocket money. He installed in me the value of a hard day's work. He believes that leads to success in whatever you do. He's right.
"He'd work from dawn until dusk to ensure his young family had everything. I think you can see his philosophies in my team."
The eldest grew up with his four brothers in the quiet and close-knit County Antrim harbour village of Carnlough where "everyone knew everyone" - a smaller version of Swansea, some say.
"I played Gaelic football and hurling but not football, except in the street, until 13," recalled boyhood Celtic fan Rodgers.
"But I followed football passionately especially when my cousin became a footballer. Nigel Worthington is now the Northern Ireland manager and I followed his playing career closely.

"I started playing football at 13 at St Patrick's College in Ballymena, the same school as the actor Liam Neeson.
"I was scouted by Manchester United at 14. I had chances to attend many clubs but Dad felt I should go to a few to see what suited best.
"United was my first club. I went during my holidays for 18 months. Ryan Giggs was then a few years below me but was being heavily tipped. However, I was never going to be what I wanted to be at United as there were so many good players."
That was Rodgers' first bold career decision - and cue more fatherly advice in 1989.
"I had also been to Luton and Reading," remembered Rodgers. "Dad liked the Reading scout Dennis Weir so wanted me to join them.
"A lot of Carnlough villagers stayed there for life, they're comfortable with their own people. That's fantastic but it wasn't me. I loved my community but I'm ambitious.
"I knew when I left at 16, if was to achieve the things I wanted then I'd never return. That was very sad.
"I loved Reading. The manager Ian Branfoot treated me like a son. It was a challenging time for me as I had left my family for an area where I hardly knew anyone."
The midfielder captained Reading's youth and reserve team and travelled with the first team but a succession of knee injuries led to another career choice.
"I suffered from a genetic knee problem that also prevented two of my brothers having professional careers," he recalled.
"Full-time training exposed the brittleness of our knee bones. I could've continued but would not have reached the level I desired so I made the conscious decision to retire from playing and coach.
"I helped the Reading academy and was comfortable teaching. I could demonstrate what I was asking players to do as I was intelligent and technically strong.
"I liked Dutch and Spanish football principles and how they could control games. I visited Barcelona, Valencia and Sevilla... gaining experience and broadening my coaching horizons."
Rodgers' talents were recognised by a coaching master when he was asked to join Jose Mourinho's Chelsea backroom staff in 2004.
Pupil and master share more than the same birthday. Both started coaching as young men, have a footballing vision and a man-management style to create team unity.
Rodgers, via Watford and Reading, has now helped take the prudent Swans, whose modest wage bill ensures a debt-free existence, to within one game of the £90m Premier League pot of gold in his first year.
"I know Dad is proud all five of us," he said. "And if I can get this team to the Premier League and bring a little happiness to him, that'd be great.
"Everyone in Carnlough is a Swansea fan now. The flags are out and many will come to the final."
Last April the European Union threatened to boycott the industry unless it tackled illegal fishing and allegations of human trafficking.
On Monday, police said a taskforce set up since had investigated 36 cases and also rescued 130 trafficking victims.
Thailand is the world's third largest exporter of seafood.
Human rights groups have long highlighted abuses in the Thai industry, saying it is reliant on illegal fishing practices and overfishing, and involves trafficked workers from neighbouring countries who, they say, work in conditions akin to slavery.
Deputy National Police Chief Thammasak Witcharaya said that in the 16 months prior to the task force being set up only 15 cases were investigated, insisting that the crackdown had intensified.
He added that nearly all of the 102 suspects arrested were prosecuted and 36 sent to prison.
Analysis: Jonathan Head, BBC News, Bangkok
The problems in Thailand's seafood industry are complex and will not be solved quickly even with determined government effort.
There is the challenge of properly licensing thousands of fishing boats and reducing the fleet to a more sustainable size, but also of regulating a fragmented processing industry, one of the word's biggest, where endemic labour abuses exist.
Then there is the illegal but very profitable business of trafficking migrants through Thailand.
While these arrests are an improvement on previous years, it must be viewed in that context; it is progress, but limited.
The revelation last November that even a global brand as big as Nestle had discovered evidence of slave-like conditions in parts of its Thai supply chain is an indication of how deep-rooted the problem is.
The Thai military government, desperate to improve its ranking in the US annual trafficking report and to avoid an EU ban, seems willing to act. The real test will be the prosecution of those who are running illegal businesses.
Last year the inclusion of a senior military general among 88 people charged with trafficking was seen as a breakthrough, but Thai judicial procedures are slow.
Most damaging was when the police general who had led the anti-trafficking drive sought asylum in Australia in November. He claimed his superiors actually obstructed his work, and that a forced transfer to southern Thailand would have put his life at risk from trafficking networks.
The EU's warning to Thailand last April said it would block seafood imports unless Thailand implemented a tailor-made action plan within six months. About 15% of Thailand's seafood exports are destined for the EU.
The US also has Thailand on a blacklist for failing to do enough about what it called "persistent" labour abuses in the seafood sector.
Thai authorities have consistently said they are tackling the abuses and are confident they can address international concerns.
Rights groups have said that fishermen from Cambodia and Myanmar - also known as Burma - are trafficked and forced to work on the boats, and also highlighted the use of children working in the industry.
Victoria Bridge in Kendal - known locally as Batman Bridge - has been completely closed for nearly a month.
Continuous fast flowing water had eroded the river bed under two pillars, Cumbria County Council said.
Divers had worked in the River Kent to temporarily stabilise the bridge but water levels and technical problems forced the reopening to be rescheduled.
The bridge had already been closed to westbound traffic when the additional damage was discovered.
Work to protect new foundations against future flooding is planned for the summer.
Roy Moore, 69, violated judicial ethics with an order seen as directing probate judges to deny marriage licences to gay couples, a judicial panel ruled.
The decision was a "politically motivated effort" by radical groups, he said. His lawyer has vowed to appeal.
It is the second suspension for Mr Moore, an outspoken conservative.
In 2003, he was removed for refusing to take down a monument of the Ten Commandments he installed at a state building.
He was re-elected as chief justice of the state's Supreme Court in 2012.
In Friday's decision, the nine-member Alabama Court of the Judiciary unanimously decided to suspend him for the remainder of his term without pay.
The move essentially removes Mr Moore from the bench, as he will be unable to seek re-election at the end of his term, in January 2019, because of age restrictions, his lawyer Mat Staver said.
Reacting to the decision, Mr Moore said in a statement: "This was a politically motivated effort by radical homosexual and transgender groups to remove me as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court because of outspoken opposition to their immoral agenda."
The panel found that Mr Moore's ruling in 6 January showed "disregard for binding federal law" after the US Supreme Court landmark decision in June 2015 affirming gay marriage rights.
Testifying in his defence, Mr Moore said there was uncertainty after conflicting opinions on gay marriage from state and federal courts.
Mr Moore is known for his opposition to same-sex marriage, and has called homosexuality an "inherent evil" in the past.
His suspension was celebrated by the civil rights group that filed the complaints in 2003 and 2016.
"Moore was elected to be a judge, not a preacher," Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center, said in a statement.
"The people of Alabama who cherish the rule of law are not going to miss the Ayatollah of Alabama."
Humberside Police said the arrests were for "unrelated matters" and were made following searches, linked to the shooting, of houses in west Hull.
Armed officers and a police helicopter went to the restaurant on St Andrews Quay at about 11:30 GMT on Saturday.
The windows of a blue Volkswagen Golf were shot out. Nobody was hurt in the incident.
Police said two men who were arrested at the scene have now been released from custody.
The force said it believed it was an isolated incident, with the offenders and victims known to one another. No shots were fired by police.
Darren Woodhead was in the McDonald's drive-through queue when the shooting took place.
He said: "I heard gunshots close to us and a car sped off out of the drive-through.
"Within minutes police had arrived with pistols, then three police vans arrived with more heavily armed officers."
Officers cordoned off the scene for forensic examination of the area.
The IAAF voted to suspend Russia's federation (Araf) on 13 November after the publication of an independent World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) report that alleged "state-sponsored doping".
An inspection team will monitor Araf as it bids to regain its IAAF membership.
Araf confirmed it will cooperate "fully and actively with the team".
Anti-doping expert Rune Andersen will lead the five-man inspection team that includes four-times Olympic silver medallist Frankie Fredericks.
The IAAF, the sport's governing body, is holding a meeting in Monaco on Thursday to determine the measures Russia needs to implement to be reinstated to world athletics.
The IAAF is also awaiting the findings of a report into the conduct of its officials, which the Wada commission chairman Dick Pound said has a "wow factor".
That section of the report, likely to be released in January, has been held back after a French police investigation began earlier this month into former IAAF president Lamine Diack and former head of anti-doping Gabriel Dolle.
Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said Mexico would try to explain the "strategic importance" of the deal for the region to Mr Trump, who has heavily criticised it.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said he was open to talks.
Nafta came into effect between the three countries in 1994.
Mr Trump has called it the worst trade deal the US has ever signed.
Trump and trade: A radical agenda?
His strong protectionist sentiments on the campaign trail helped to win support in areas that were formerly manufacturing centres. The Republican has pledged to bring back US jobs lost to globalisation.
Mexico and Canada fear losing access to the US market, on which they heavily depend.
The Mexican peso hit a record low following Donald Trump's unexpected election victory and fell again on Thursday after recovering slightly.
"We're ready to talk so we can explain the strategic importance of Nafta for the region," Mr Guajardo said.
"Here we're not talking about... renegotiating it, we're simply talking about dialogue," he added.
Foreign Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu said Mexico was willing to aim to "modernise" Nafta with a Trump government and Canada, but also ruled out renegotiation.
Mr Trudeau said it was important to be open to discussion on trade deals.
"If the Americans want to talk about Nafta, I'm more than happy to talk about it," he said.
No date has been set for talks but Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has said he and Mr Trump have agreed to meet, possibly before the latter's inauguration in January.
Aside from attacking Nafta, Mr Trump has also heavily criticised the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a hugely ambitious deal signed between 12 countries that Mexico hoped to use to modernise Nafta and expand its trade with Asia.
Mr Guajardo said that in the event the TPP is not ratified by the US Congress, signatories should consider trying to implement the rest of the agreement without it.
President-elect Trump has also angered Mexico by saying he would make it pay for a wall he wants to build on the shared border in order to keep out illegal migrants.
The phenomenon, caused by atmospheric ice crystals reflecting light, was captured by Allan Trow above Rhigos mountain, Rhondda Cynon Taff.
He said light pillars were more common in polar regions.
Mr Trow, who has been stargazing for 20 years, said the sighting on Friday night was "spectacular".
The director of astronomy education company Dark Sky Wales was on the mountain near Treherbert with two other experienced astronomers and a group of amateur stargazers when the bright lights appeared at about 21:50 GMT.
He said they lasted at least 90 seconds, long enough for the astronomers to take a number of photographs.
"Between the three astronomers there, we have 80 years experience but it was the first time we had seen anything like it," said Mr Trow.
"We immediately went onto Facebook and Twitter and consulted with our astronomy friends to see what they could be. We discounted ideas such as as aurora and a meteor. But the conditions were right for light pillars.
"We were astonished. I've seen pictures of them from Scandinavia and Alaska but nothing from the UK."
He said his fellow astronomers believed the light reflected in the light pillars - which were visible to the naked eye - could have come from the Port Talbot steelworks which are just over the other side of the mountain.
The phenomenon comes in the same week stargazers across Wales saw the Aurora Borealis - better known as the Northern Lights.
Prandelli, 59, replaces former Liverpool assistant manager Pako Ayestaran, who was sacked after Los Che lost their opening four La Liga games.
Valencia won both games under caretaker boss Voro to move off the bottom.
Prandelli, who has not managed since a brief spell at Galatasaray in 2014, will take over after Sunday's home match against Atletico Madrid.
He will watch the game against fourth-placed Atletico from the Mestalla stands before leading his first training session on Monday.
The Italian led his nation between 2010 and 2014, taking them to the Euro 2012 final where they lost against Spain, then resigning after group-stage elimination at the World Cup in Brazil two years later.
He returned to management shortly after at Turkish giants Galatasaray, only to be sacked 147 days later.
The man, who was in his 50s, died at the scene after being involved in a collision with a car and a lorry on the northbound exit slip road at junction 6 for Welwyn at 19:30 GMT on Tuesday.
No-one else was injured.
Hertfordshire Police said the rider appeared to lose control of his vehicle. Officers appealed for witnesses to come forward.

A spokeswoman said the road was closed in both directions to allow investigations and repairs to take place but re-opened at about 08:30 GMT on Wednesday.
It happened at Castlerock in County Londonderry at about 18:10 BST on Sunday.
Paramedics were called to the scene before Coastguard rescue teams from Coleraine and Ballycastle were able to lift the boy to safety from the rocks.
The boy was treated at the Causeway Hospital before being discharged.
John McPoland of the Ambulance Service said: "We received reports that a 12-year-old male had fallen on to the rocks at the beach. We dispatched a rapid response paramedic and an accident and emergency crew.
"When they arrived and assessed the scene, we required the assistance of the coastguard also," Mr McPoland said.
"They attended the scene, took the young fella from the rocks and handed him over to the care of the paramedics."

On Newsround today Ayshah chatted to bullying expert, Alex Holmes, in the studio.
They talked through some of the questions you sent in about internet safety.
For more information about Safer Internet Day, click here to go to a special section of the CBBC website.
Matthew Cox was one of too many children who did not get adequate help soon enough, Future Generations Commissioner Sophie Howe has said.
She wants the education system and agencies working closer on adverse childhood experiences (ACE).
Mr Cox, now 22, works in a call centre and dreams of starting his own landscape gardening company.
It is an amazing turnaround for a man who said bullying throughout his childhood affected his behaviour and ended with him sleeping rough while still in school.
"While living on the streets in Pontypridd park I was trying to get a bit of cash myself, trying to find a job," he said.
"With me having dirty clothes, going back and fore to work and school, I tried to go to the launderettes and tried to get my clothes washed or even washing them in the river just to try and look clean."
It was a teacher who realised what was happening and found him a place in a bed and breakfast until homelessness charity Llamau stepped in.
According to Public Health Wales (PHW) almost half of adults in Wales have suffered at least one ACE - anything from parental separation to abuse.
And 14% of adults is have suffered four or more ACEs, increasing risks to their health.
The study showed the more ACEs people experience, the greater their risk of a wide range of health-harming behaviours and diseases as an adult.
A child could have witnessed a domestic abuse incident taking place in their home last night, mum or dad being beaten up
In January, the Welsh Government announced £400,000 to set up a hub to tackle the negative impact of ACEs and £50,000 to support more research by PHW.
Ms Howe wants more early intervention and said much good practice in schools could be key in tackling the issue if there was a more joined-up approach.
"A child could have witnessed a domestic abuse incident taking place in their home last night, mum or dad being beaten up, the police being called, a hugely traumatic time and yet the school teacher when they go into school this morning would not necessarily be aware that that's what happened last night.
"We know that there is much more we could do in having this integrated approach between all of our public services, which is after all what the Well Being of Future Generations Act requires."
Glan Usk Primary School in Newport has designed its whole approach to learning around well-being.
Inclusion leader Annette James said tackling difficult issues in children's lives had to come first if they were to achieve.
"We target self-esteem, building self confidence so that they have those positive experiences, so that those children who might be reluctant to come to school who might not have those positive experiences in the class have the opportunity to achieve and reach their full potential."
Rhian Tilley, a family and pupil support worker, believes this generation has it tougher than their parents and identifying ACEs is vital for a child's life chances.
"They may not have had breakfast, there may have been an argument at home, they may have very difficult home lives or family circumstances and then they are coming into school and are expected to learn and do the best they can, but while they are sat there they are thinking 'I'm hungry'."
Head teacher Jeff Beecher said schools were ready to share information but this was not always forthcoming from other agencies.
"At the end of the day it's about funding, unfortunately, and resources.
"In Newport we have had what is called 'team around the cluster' where we've tried to marry all those agencies together in discussing pupils needs.
"But at times it's sporadic, sometimes there hasn't been enough funding to support that strategy and for those people to get together so its been difficult, but it is the way forward and I think we need a full commitment financially to support these needs."
The scheme, involving funds called AFPs, was launched in 1981 during the military government of Gen Augusto Pinochet.
Protesters say some 10 million people who joined have now been left with very low retirement incomes - less than the minimum wage in many cases.
They are calling for President Michelle Bachelet to scrap the scheme.
Millions of people struggled to get to work during rush hour in the capital, Santiago, and other cities after leaders of the No More AFP movement called a nationwide strike.
Luis Mesina, a spokesman for No More AFP, which has led protests in recent months, distanced the group from the violence.
"To the people who are not going to take part [in the protests] of course we apologise because our intention is not to cause them grief," Mr Mesina told CNN Chile.
Most of the barricades had been dismantled by mid-morning, said deputy interior minister Mahmud Aleuy.
He said: "All Chileans have the right to protest what they feel are their legitimate demands, but it is not right that this causes problems for other citizens."
The Chilean pension fund system has been praised by pro-market politicians and economists across the world.
It was originally intended to pay 70% of people's final salaries.
US officials charged Joshua Goldberg with distributing information on explosives, destructive devices and weapons of mass destruction.
Mr Goldberg chatted online with an undercover FBI agent, offering information on bomb building.
He told the agent to put the bomb at a 9/11 memorial in Kansas City, Missouri.
Pressure-cooker bombs were used in the Boston marathon bombings that left three dead and dozens hurt.
In other instances this year the FBI has charged American residents with plotting terrorist attacks after finding them online.
The FBI agent had found Mr Goldberg's online messages, in which he was posing as an Australian jihadist, offering to assist in plotting terror attacks in Australia and Texas.
"What weapons do you have brother? I can send you guides on how to make bombs if you need help making them," wrote Mr Goldberg in one message to the agent.
Mr Goldberg sent bomb-making guides to the agent on 19 August, asking the agent how he wanted to attack on 11 September.
He suggested a pressure-cooker bomb and picked out a 9/11 memorial event in Missouri, the Kansas City Stair Climb.
Australian police interviewed a witness who said Mr Goldberg's online acts were "part of a hoax" and he was a "proponent of radical free speech".
He will also be charged with providing information online to spur terrorist attacks in Australia.
Ko, 19, was in a group of players at six-under on the 18th tee, but rolled in a nine-foot birdie putt for a 70.
The New Zealander is one clear of overnight leader Sung Hyun Park (74) and Eun Hee Ji (70), both of Korea.
England's Jodie Ewart Shadoff and Scotland's Catriona Matthew are tied for 20th place on level par.
Ko was tied for 52nd place after an opening 73 at CordeValle, but a second-round 66 moved her into contention and three birdies on Saturday edged her into the lead.
"People say it's moving day on Saturday, but it was really tough out there because the course is drying out, firming up," Ko said.
"In major championships, sometimes a par is a good score and you have to walk off and forget about the bad shots."
Spokesman Col Gilles Jaron told the AFP news agency that several hundred French soldiers were involved in the mission in the north of the country.
It was aimed at preventing a resurgence of "terrorist movements", he added.
On Wednesday, a suicide bomb attack on a UN Stabilisation Mission in Mali (Minusma) base in Tessalit killed civilians and two Chadian peacekeepers.
The UN Security Council stressed that those responsible would be held accountable and reiterated its support for Minusma.
The Malian leader of a splinter group of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, Sultan Ould Bady, said it had attacked the base because the Chadians were "working for France".
France sent troops to oust Islamist rebels from northern Mali in January.
The rebels were quickly pushed back from the main urban centres. Some retreated to hideouts in the mountains and desert, from where they launch occasional attacks.
Col Jaron of the French military's general staff said the operation - called "Hydra" - was "the first time we have seen forces of significant size working together" in Mali.
Its goal was to "put pressure on any terrorist movement to avoid their resurgence", he added.
The colonel stressed that the mission was not linked to any recent attack.
"This is one those operations that are conducted regularly... to participate in the stabilisation of the country," he explained.
He did not say when the operation started or on which areas it was focused, nor provide exact numbers or details on the forces taking part.
A spokesman for the Malian army, Lt-Col Souleymane Maiga told the Reuters news agency: "It's an operation to sweep identified areas in the three northern regions [Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal]. It will last as long as is needed."
BBC Africa analyst Mamadou Moussa Ba says this is the first time French troops have publicly been involved in operations against Islamist militants in Mali for several months.
France has 3,200 soldiers in the country but plans to reduce the force to 1,000 by February, several months later than originally planned.
It handed over responsibility for security to Minusma in July. However, the UN force has less than half of its mandated strength of more than 12,000 military personnel and has appealed for reinforcements.
Nikki Pegram, 28, from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, has had memory loss since a fall a year ago.
She used to work as a pub manager and was also able to claim benefits because of other health issues. She now has no job and no disability benefits.
The Department for Work and Pensions said Ms Pegram's circumstances had changed and she was entitled to appeal.
Ms Pegram fell and banged her head as she was leaving Kettering General following an appointment for a knee problem last October.
She developed anterograde amnesia, which means she cannot create new memories and believes each day is the day of her hospital appointment.
She takes notes and reads the diary each morning to help her get through the day.
Her partner Chris Johnston said: "She lives her life on a day-to-day basis - she doesn't know what she did yesterday, last week, last month.
"She has to rely on the diary she's got and she has to rely on me."
Before the accident, she claimed personal independence payment (PIP) for her physical health problems, which included chronic pain, osteoporosis and polymyalgia.
Groundskeeper Mr Johnston hoped they would be entitled to more help.
Ms Pegram was reassessed and has since been stripped of more than £200 a fortnight.
She is entitled to claim about £70 a week, dependant on a GP note, in employment support allowance, Mr Johnston said.
"She was declared fit for work because she can walk 200m and she can talk without prompting," said Mr Johnston.
"I don't see how they could have come to that conclusion. She's not got better, she's got worse.
"She can't work - she won't know where's she working, what she's doing, you'd have to train her every day."
Mr Johnston said they would appeal, but he did not expect the case to be settled for many months.
The DWP said: "Personal independence payment is awarded on the basis of how someone's condition affects them rather than simply on the condition itself.
"Decisions are made after consideration of all the evidence, including an assessment and any information provided by the claimant and their GP."
The duke's first shift began at Cambridge Airport on Monday morning.
He flew to his first incident in Garboldisham in Norfolk on Tuesday.
On Wednesday the prince was deployed to Felixstowe in Suffolk and to Colchester, Essex. His final mission of the week was on Thursday, to Wisbech, Cambridgeshire.
"Patient confidentiality" prevented the EAAA giving details of some incidents, however the life-saving mission to Felixstowe involved a man in his 50s who had suffered a cardiac arrest.
After being treated at the scene the patient was airlifted to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
Prince William completed a civilian pilot course in September before taking dedicated 999-response training in order to take up his role with the air ambulance service.
The former RAF helicopter pilot's duties will cover incidents in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.
On Monday the prince admitted to "feeling the nerves" as he began his first nine-and-a-half hour shift as co-pilot alongside medical staff.
However, he added: "It's sort of a follow-on from where I was in the military with my search and rescue role.
"There are many of the same kind of skills and a job like this is very worthwhile, valuable and there's an element of duty."
The prince's shift pattern is expected to be four days on, four days off, but will take into account his official royal duties.
Bond Air Services operates the air ambulance on behalf of the EAAA and the prince is being paid a salary which he is donating to charity.
A blaze started in a garage in Thorney, near Peterborough, at about 18:00 GMT and spread to the house next to it.
The house in The Causeway was gutted by the accidental fire and several cars including a Rolls Royce were destroyed.
The fire service said the blaze was "exacerbated by strong winds".
One man was treated by an ambulance crew at the scene after inhaling smoke and was taken to hospital.
More on this and other stories from Cambridgeshire
It took about 60 firefighters almost four hours to bring the blaze under control.
It started in the garage and "rapidly spread... to the house owing to the strong winds and a fuel tank becoming involved in the fire," Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service said.
Group commander Sean Brown said: "This was a particularly difficult fire to tackle which was exacerbated by strong winds, cylinders in the garage and the need for a large water supply.
"Sadly the fire has completely destroyed the garage, its contents and the adjoining house."
The building is owned by Classic Wedding Cars, which has a fleet of nine classic and vintage cars including a 1929 Ford A, a 1937 American Studebaker and a 1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud.
It is not known how many vehicles were destroyed in the blaze.
The European Parliament voted to back a new Commission headed by Jean-Claude Juncker.
The UK commissioner is Jonathan Hill, with responsibility for financial regulation.
The view in Europe is that the UK got the post it most valued. Such a position had not been expected, particularly after Prime Minister David Cameron's open opposition to Mr Juncker.
In the European Parliament the Tories are part of the European Conservative and Reformist group (ECR).
When it came to the vote on the new Commission they could not disguise their differences.
They were split three ways. Some were in favour of the new Commission, a few were against and the majority abstained.
When, later, I spoke to the new European Commission president, he was clearly irritated by the way the British members of the ECR had voted.
"I took Jonathan Hill into my Commission," he said, "and the ECR abstained. Is this British coherence?" Mr Juncker believes there was an understanding with David Cameron that the Tories would be supportive.
Someone close to Lord Hill said his view was that it was a pity the ECR didn't feel able to give its full backing as he believed this was a very strong Commission ready to engage with the UK.
In his speech today Mr Juncker did not touch on freedom of movement, an issue at the centre of David Cameron's plans to re-negotiate the terms of the UK's relationship with the EU.
Afterwards, Mr Juncker told me: "We have a treaty. Freedom of movement since the fifties is the basic principle of the European way of co-operating. These rules will not be changed.
"What can be changed? The national rules against abuses. There are abuses as far as freedom of movement is concerned but we cannot change European rules."
In other words, there is flexibility in addressing the abuses connected with freedom of movement, but when it comes to capping or imposing limits on the numbers of EU migrants, then expect opposition.
Caroline Jones, 47, from Harpenden in Hertfordshire, began Knickers Model's Own in memory of her mother Mary Benson, who died of breast cancer.
She has raised £36,500 - or £100 a day - and donations are still coming in.
"It's incredible... [this amount] could fund two PhD students for a year," she said.
"This is a very happy day for me, the target felt hugely ambitious but we've done it and this money continues the pioneering work at Cancer Research UK, in the fight against cancer.
"The campaign runs until 31 December and the fundraising is open-ended, people can always donate... who knows where it will finish."
Mrs Benson, who died in October 2014, had been a volunteer at the charity's Harpenden shop for 13 years.
Mother-of-three Ms Jones started volunteering as a window dresser soon after her mother died and on New Year's Eve last year decided she would post a photograph every day on social media of her wearing a different outfit.
She hoped to raise £1,000 in a year, but her daily posts became so popular she increased her fundraising target.
A sale of about 1,000 items of clothing and accessories in November raised just over £2,600.
She celebrated the news or reaching her target by announcing her next project will be writing a book about her year of pre-loved fashion.
"I won't be bored, I'm not going anywhere," she said. | Photographs showing former prime minister David Lloyd George with his 'secret daughter' are to go up for auction.

It has previously been illegal in the UK to rip songs from a CD to a digital player or transfer eBooks, music, films and games from one device to another.
But people will still not be allowed to share the copies with others.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said the move was "not only common sense but good business sense".
"Bringing the law into line with ordinary people's reasonable expectations will boost respect for copyright, on which our creative industries rely," he said.
"We feel we have struck the right balance between improving the way consumers benefit from copyright works they have legitimately paid for, boosting business opportunities and protecting the rights of creators."
But musicians and songwriters complained that they will lose out.
The Musicians' Union and British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors said all other European countries with a similar law also have some form of levy on items like blank CDs and media players to compensate creators.
Musicians' Union general secretary John Smith said: "We feel strongly that the lack of fair compensation will significantly disadvantage creators and performers in relation to the vast majority of their EU counterparts.
"Why would the UK government want to discriminate against its own creators, particularly since the creative economy is one of the consistent areas of economic growth?"
The change in the law will also make it easier for teachers to use copyright materials on interactive whiteboards, for people to make parodies of copyrighted works and for writers to quote other sources.
Vote Leave has removed the Carphone Warehouse co-founder, David Ross, and John Caudwell - who started Phones 4U - from the list published on Saturday.
A spokesman said Mr Ross's name was included in error and apologised.
He said Mr Caudwell had supported the campaign in the past, though he had not put himself forward for the list.
The Vote Leave spokesman added: "Mr Caudwell has been listed as a supporter of the campaign since he signed up in October last year.
"He has not told us that he no longer supports us but we have removed him from the list."
Other signatories include former HSBC chief executive Michael Geoghegan, JD Wetherspoon pub boss Tim Martin, hotelier Sir Rocco Forte and Luke Johnson - chairman of continental-style cafe chain Patisserie Valerie.
A referendum on whether the UK should stay in the EU will be held on 23 June.
The announcement of business leaders supporting the UK's EU exit came after bosses of 36 of the largest listed companies in Britain signed a letter urging voters to remain in the EU last month.
Vote Leave also announced that its business council would be chaired by John Longworth, who resigned his role as director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) earlier this month.
The civilians, along with two flocks of sheep, were taken as they collected firewood in the mountains.
An IS commander was killed by police trying to free them, and the militants killed the civilians in revenge, Ghor Governor Nasir Khazeh told the BBC.
IS is gaining support and challenging the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The killings occurred late on Tuesday north of Firoz Koh, the capital of Ghor province. The civilians killed included children, Mr Khazeh said.
Central Afghanistan has not been known as a centre of IS activity, which has so far mostly been concentrated in Nangarhar state in the east of the country.
Analysts say the IS militants in Ghor are former Taliban fighters. The Taliban and IS declared war on each other last year.
The Taliban and IS have been locked in frequent battles in Afghanistan since January 2015.
The Taliban's dominance in a region home to numerous local and foreign militant groups is facing a serious challenge from IS.
There has also been evidence that IS is trying to recruit Taliban fighters, with several Taliban commanders declaring allegiance to IS.

Button and fellow F1 driver Max Verstappen have both donated £15,000, while Billy's former F4 rival Devlin DeFrancesco has made the biggest donation of £26,000.
A hashtag #billywhizz is being widely shared on social media.
Billy, from Charlwood, Surrey, was trapped for 90 minutes when he collided with another F4 car which appeared to have stopped on the racetrack.
He was airlifted to hospital in Nottingham and has undergone a series of operations.
Anthony Hamilton, father of F1 star Lewis and Nicholas, who competes in motorsport in a specially-modified car due to having cerebral palsy, said they were all "heartbroken" by what happened.
However, he said there was no reason why the youngster could not have a future in motorsport.
He said: "Nicolas is extremely keen to meet Billy and say 'look, I was born with a disability but I didn't let it stop me from going motor racing'.
"There are a huge amount of positives that can come out of situations like this and Billy is going to have the support of the world when he's out of hospital."
Mr Hunter said the moments after the crash were the worst.
"We saw the crash and our fears were as low as they could be, but all credit to the medical staff at the track and at the hospital, they have worked miracles.
"It has been heart-wrenching but from where we were after the crash to where we are now, everything has been in the right direction since.
"The pipes are out of his mouth and he spoke. He was hoarse but he just about spoke."
A JustGiving page was launched on Wednesday when the extent of Billy's injuries became clear.
Mr Hunter said: "It is a testament to the world of motorsport that so many people have come forward to help."
Mercedes driver Hamilton, who has 4.32 million followers on Twitter, tweeted: "Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, @BillyMonger."
Button wrote on his Instagram account: "Hey guys this fellow racer Billy Monger had a big shunt this past weekend at Donington and sadly Billy has had amputations to both legs.
"This guy needs our help so if you can please donate, I will be doing as much as I can to help this dude out."
Donington Park is working with the UK and international governing bodies of motor sport to investigate what happened on Sunday.

It hopes to get samples from an asteroid, a small rocky body flying around the Sun, and bring them back for scientists to study.
The mission is the first time Nasa has sent a craft to make contact with an asteroid.
They've chosen one which is fairly near to Earth called Bennu but it is still really far away.
The mission will take seven years in total and it's not expected back until September 2023.
But how on Earth - well, in space! - is it going to do it?
Jalal Uddin, 64, was found with head injuries in a children's play area in South Street, Rochdale, in Greater Manchester on 18 February.
The Jalalia Jaamé Mosque Koran reader died in hospital.
Mohammed Hussain Syeedy, 21, of Ramsay Street, Rochdale, was remanded by Bury magistrates to appear at Manchester Crown Court on Tuesday.
He has also been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
The ad - featuring Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul - has the actor say "Xbox On" near its start.
The instruction appears to trigger the machine's Kinect voice/motion sensor, activating the console.
A spokesman for the firm said it had no comment at this time, but noted that previous ads had also featured voice commands.
Many people have posted comments about the problem on social media sites.
"Aaron Paul just turned my Xbox One via the Xbox advert. (Which triggered the IR [infrared] blaster to switch my TV off..)" tweeted Qassim Farid, a UK-based tech blogger.
Chesterfield-based Tom Neal wrote: "@Xbox your new TV advert is annoying the hell outta me. Aaron Paul keeps turning my console on… #stooooop"
The effect has also been noted on news discussion site Reddit's Xbox section, with one commentator writing: "Damn commercial keeps turning on my xbox! Lol"
The post reflects the attitude of many console owners who have posted about the matter who appear more bemused than angered by the glitch.
This is not the first time such an effect has been reported.
In November Xbox One owner Tim Kimberl posted a video to YouTube showing that an internet ad that featured the command "Xbox go to Dead Rising 3" launched the game on his system.
Users affected by the issue do have the ability to turn off the Kinect sensor, which prevents the console responding to voice commands.
The issue has parallels with an effect played for laughs in the TV series 30 Rock where a voice-controlled television went haywire when on-screen characters mentioned its trigger words.
The problem has arisen in the same week that Microsoft began selling a cheaper version of the Xbox One without the Kinect.
It said it made the move - timed to coincide with the E3 video games expo - following feedback from gamers who did not want to pay extra for the accessory.
The decision allows the machine to retail at the same price as Sony's PlayStation 4.
Microsoft's press event at the Los Angeles show was notable for hardly featuring the Kinect.
Only a dancing game, a Disney motion-controlled music rhythm title, and an indie game called Fru - which allows players to control a character by making body shapes - appeared to take advantage of the feature.
However, Microsoft did announce outside the show that a software update would soon allow developers access to more graphics power when the Kinect was not in use. This may help address complaints that several cross-platform games offer higher resolutions and frame rates on the PS4 than their Xbox equivalents.
However, the new ad signals that the US firm intends to keep promoting the Kinect as a feature that distinguishes its machine from its Japanese rival's, even if the price quoted at its end is for the standalone machine.
The west London Championship club said it "takes these allegations very seriously" and would "co-operate fully in any forthcoming investigation".
Mr Gieler died in 2002, shortly after leaving the club.
He was employed by QPR for about 30 years, working in youth development and as chief scout.
Mr Gieler arrived at Loftus Road in 1971 as a schoolboy scout and in 1979 he became youth development manager, responsible for the entire youth programme.
Child sex abuse claims: The story so far
The club's announcement came as the Football Association announced that the internal review into child sexual abuse allegations in football would be led by Clive Sheldon QC.
A total of 450 people have alleged they are victims and 55 amateur and professional football clubs are linked to allegations of abuse going back several decades.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland has become the latest force to confirm it is investigating claims, so there are now 21 police forces looking into reports.
A dedicated sexual abuse helpline has been set up by the NSPCC, supported by the FA.
In a statement, QPR said: "Any form of abuse has no place in football or society.
"QPR has robust recruitment procedures and safeguarding policies in place to ensure the protection and welfare of both children and vulnerable adults, and we employ a full-time designated safeguarding manager who works across all areas of the club."
The club said it had had someone responsible for safeguarding in place since 2011, in line with FA, Premier League and Football League guidelines.
Earlier, former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp told the BBC that "rumours" that ex-Southampton coach Bob Higgins may have abused young players in the 1980s had been "rife" for years.
He said that, because of this, he was "amazed" that Mr Higgins, who is facing fresh allegations of historical sexual abuse, had continued to be involved in football.
Former Southampton youth player and ex-professional footballer Billy Seymour told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that he had been abused by Mr Higgins from the age of 12 to 14.
He said that because of this he had "self-medicated" with drink and drugs, and said he had been to prison three times for "anger issues".
"My life has been chaos really, over the last 20 years," he said.
"I'm just hoping now I can start opening up and start living."
Mr Seymour told the BBC that the abuse "started with grooming and preferential treatment, coming round and picking me up, taking me to scouting missions, gifts, tracksuits, aftershave".
He said he would stay at Mr Higgins' house, where he said the former coach would walk into his bedroom late at night, or would invite him into his bedroom in the morning, and touch his "groin area".
Mr Higgins has previously denied all allegations and was acquitted of sexual abuse charges in 1992.
The BBC has been unable to contact him for comment.
Meanwhile, the FA has published the full terms of reference of its review, which covers what was known and what actions were taken by the FA from the 1970s.
The FA said the precise number of players, alleged abusers and clubs it would investigate was as yet unknown.
Separately, a lawyer representing a new body supporting victims said "calls and emails are coming in all the time" from players claiming to have been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements with clubs in return for compensation.
He told the BBC such clauses would seem "entirely inappropriate" for an issue such as the abuse of children, but said that the victims coming forward had named "several" clubs as using them.
The claims come after Chelsea FC apologised to former player Gary Johnson for the abuse he suffered as a trainee in the 1970s, having waived the confidentiality clause in a £50,000 agreement they made with him last year.
In April 1989, Bob Higgins was dismissed by Southampton FC, where he worked as a youth coach, after several allegations were made against him.
He had set up The Bob Higgins Soccer Academy, but on 27 April 1989 the Football League sent a letter to all football clubs warning that it was "opposed to the activities" of the group.
In May 1995, Mr Higgins joined Peterborough United as a youth coach. He left in April 1996 by mutual consent.
After spending some time working in Malta he was appointed manager of the non-league side Bashley FC, until he was sacked in 2001.
After Bashley he briefly worked at Winchester City where he operated in an "advisory role" for the senior team.
He later landed a coaching role with Fleet Town FC on an "informal, unpaid basis", but has since left. Fleet Town said his role did not involve working with children.
The former health secretary, who was in Wrexham last Sunday, held a question-and-answer session at Penlan Social Club.
He has promised more freedom for Welsh Labour and devolution that "holds us together as a United Kingdom".
Yvette Cooper, Jeremy Corbyn and Liz Kendall are also in the battle to be crowned Labour leader in September.
Speaking on Saturday, he said: "I am for the second time in a week in Wales because of the importance of Wales to our party, both [in the] past but also looking to the future.
"We've got the Holyrood elections and Welsh assembly elections next year so Wales and Scotland will be very big in our immediate plans going forward."
Mr Burnham has said Labour has been "too out of touch with its grassroots" and has pledged to do "whatever I can" to hold the party together.
Several senior Labour figures have claimed the party faces years out of power if Mr Corbyn is elected leader, although the veteran left-winger has the support of more constituency parties than any other candidate.
The GAA's Central Council decided on Saturday to ask the organisation's annual Congress to amend its rules on the issue.
The IRFU's bid would not be possible without the support of the GAA.
Casement Park in Belfast is among six grounds earmarked for World Cup games.
The Aviva Stadium and Thomond Park are the only rugby grounds which would be suitable for a major tournament.
In addition to Croke Park and Casement Park, the other GAA grounds which would be part of the IRFU's bid are Pairc Ui Chaoimh, the Limerick Gaelic Grounds, Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney and Galway's Pearse Stadium.
The IRFU has said that significant government funding would have to be forthcoming for a bid to be considered.
However, the likelihood of the GAA making its grounds available as part of a proposed bid increases the possibility of the IRFU commissioning an official feasibility study into the project.
"The Rugby World Cup in New Zealand showed what a country of four million people could achieve in terms of attracting visitors and showcasing the potential of a country, so an overall Ireland bid is something that the government was keen to discuss with us," said IRFU chief executive Philip Browne on Saturday.
"I think everybody is aware of the benefits from both a social and economic perspective that would come from hosting the third largest sporting event on the globe.
"We are at the early stages of examining the feasibility of a bid and part of this study is to determine the interest and support of Government and other relevant bodies."
A number of elders from the remote Hisarak district told the BBC that the Taliban were using the presence of IS in Afghanistan as a pretext to extort locals.
Located less than 80 kilometres east of Kabul, Hisarak is the western-most part of Nangarhar province, where the Taliban has a strong presence.
The province has also seen fighting between Taliban and rival insurgents who have declared loyalty to the Islamic State group.
In Nangarhar's capital Jalalabad I met a number of officials and tribal elders from Hisarak who had taken shelter there.
Abdul Khaliq Maroof is Hisarak's district governor. He needs to take a helicopter to reach his office, but for the past month he's been stranded in Jalalabad.
The Afghan government only controls the district centre and some villages in Hisarak.
"The Taliban can impose on people whatever rules they want," Mr Maroof told me. "The lion's share of their income in Hisarak comes from Islamic taxation (Ushur). They use it to purchase weapons and ammunition."
Mr Maroof is a high profile target for the Taliban. Even in Jalalabad the tight security around his house gives the impression of a person who is constantly on the enemy's radar.
His guestroom is littered with certificates and appreciation letters from the Afghan government and international forces, praising his performance.
But he admits that he cannot move freely or without the protection of a Humvee vehicle - even a few kilometres outside Hisarak district centre.
It's a similar story for pro-government elders in the district, the traditional power brokers in rural Afghanistan.
In the narrow streets, on the outskirts of Jalalabad city, I met one of them, Malik Zafar.
He told me that he is stuck because he cannot take a helicopter back to Hisarak like local officials do. Going by road he says is gambling with one's life.
Mr Zaraf told me that the Taliban's fundraising efforts have recently taken on a new focus - the fight against rival militants from the Islamic State group in Afghanistan.
"This information is true and all in Hisarak know about it - the Taliban demand money from local people," Mr Zaraf said. "They collect money and some locals had to give them men to fight against IS."
Even though the footprint of the Islamic State group hasn't reached Hisarak District itself, local elders say that the presence of IS in Nangarhar is being used as an excuse by the Taliban to recruit young men and raise funds.
Locals have reported that several bodies were brought back to Hisarak from another district where Taliban and IS had been fighting.
Hisarak is a mountainous district which also shares a border with Pakistan, allowing Taliban fighters to move across the frontier, according to the district chief.
Communities here are strictly traditional with agriculture the main source of income, including poppies, wheat and rice.
Ahmad Ghani was another Hisarak resident who agreed to meet me in a busy market. He too is worried about his safety and was clearly not keen to let me know where he lives.
Mr Ghani is a member of the Hisarak district council, but even at the grassroots of Afghan politics the threat from the Taliban is very real. Any association with the Afghan government - viewed by the insurgents as a foreign-controlled puppet administration - is dangerous.
Mr Ghani told me he had to flee the area. "Life does become difficult for people under the Taliban rule," he said. "I reached a stage where when my father passed away I couldn't even attend his funeral."
The threat to local government officials and loyal elders was underlined by an attack last month when a suicide bomber killed at least 13 people at the Jalalabad home of a prominent local politician who backs peace talks between the government and the Taliban.
As the government presence shrinks in districts like Hisarak, the Taliban become stronger in Nangarhar province and it's the civilian population paying the price.
In the past year numerous families have fled the district and have settled in Jalalabad.
Hisarak elders now living here told me that that the young generation are hardest hit by the volatile situation which in turn has created an opportunity for people smugglers.
One elder told the BBC that locals who have the money have already sent their sons to Europe by illegal means. He said he knew families who had sold or leased their patch of land to try and save their young men from the conflict.
One of the local people smugglers claimed he had sent more than 200 men to Europe in the past two years - from Hisarak district alone.
An incident was reported to have happened during the early hours of Sunday.
Police Scotland said a 26-year-old man had been charged.
He was expected to appear in court on Tuesday, but the Crown Office said the accused did not appear in court and was liberated from custody.
A spokesperson said: "The case against him remains live and under consideration."
He will claim his party, which has vowed to campaign for the UK to stay in the EU, is the only one speaking up for an "open, tolerant, united" country.
Amid splits in Labour over Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, he will say his party will offer all liberals a "home".
Despite having only eight MPs, the party has seen its membership surge.
In full: Lib Dem 2016 conference agenda
Activists are to gather for the four-day event in Brighton, Mr Farron's second as party leader, with the party having attracted 10,000 new members since the EU referendum.
In an address to the start of the conference rally, Mr Farron will argue the Conservatives are already in disarray over how to deal with the Brexit vote, with open tensions between the prime minister and leading Leave figures in the cabinet such as Liam Fox and David Davis.
Amid the current turmoil in Labour, he will say the Lib Dems are ready to capitalise on the gap in the political spectrum for a party capable of offering a progressive, disciplined opposition to Theresa May.
He will say new UKIP leader Diane James leads a party whose policies are "based on a vision for Britain that is closed, hateful and divided".
And he will urge like-minded politicians in all parties to join the Lib Dems to make the case for a completely different view of the UK and its place in the world.
"This party stands stronger, large, determined, relevant, in the right place in the right space at the right time," he will say.
"Just when Britain needed a movement that will challenge this Tory Brexit government, just when liberals in other parties are desperate for a home where they can make a difference, the Liberal Democrats are back and we matter more than ever."
Mr Farron will give his traditional end-of-conference leader's address on Tuesday. On Saturday, activists will debate tackling homelessness and corporate corruption, among other issues.

New Zealand lead Sir Ben Ainslie's Great Britain team 3-1 in their first-to-five contest. In the other semi-final, Japan lead Sweden 3-1.
America's Cup Race Management said all four scheduled races will now move to Thursday, when better conditions are forecast.
"It's not good out there today," said regatta director Iain Murray.
"Unfortunately we won't be racing and we will have to come back tomorrow."
The delay could benefit New Zealand, who spent all night repairing their catamaran after a spectacular capsizing during a race against Britain on Tuesday.
The catamaran fell forwards on the run-in to the start, leaving some crew suspended in the hull above the water.
Three were thrown overboard but all of New Zealand's crew were accounted for.

Darren Moore suffered multiple fractures and cuts to his face when he was attacked by several men with baseball bats and hammers in Doagh on Wednesday, police said.
Aaron Cahoon, 27, was also charged with possessing an offensive weapon with intent to commit a crime.
Mr Cahoon, of Fairhill Gardens, Newtownabbey, denies the charges.
He was arrested along with six other men; the other five were later released on police bail.
Mr Moore, in his forties and formerly from the Mount Vernon area of Belfast, was drinking in McConnell's Bar when he was attacked, Belfast Magistrates' Court heard.
Refusing bail, the judge remanded Mr Cahoon in custody to appear again by video link on 13 April.
Baroness Manningham-Buller said plans to make the Prevent counter-terrorism strategy a statutory obligation risked banning "non-violent extremists" from speaking at universities.
She said such opinions need to be "exposed, challenged and countered".
Home Office minister Lord Bates said he would consider the matter further.
At present, colleges and other bodies take part in the government's Prevent strategy voluntarily.
The Home Office says the flagship strategy relies upon the co-operation of organisations to be effective, but says co-operation is "not consistent across the country".
Passing legislation to make the delivery of the strategy a legal requirement for some organisations would "improve the standard of work on the Prevent programme across the country", it said.
The proposed Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill would give legal duties to bodies such as local authorities and universities.
But speaking during a House of Lords debate on the bill, Baroness Manningham-Buller - who was head of the security service at the time of the 7/7 London bombings in 2005 - told peers the plan risked banning non-violent extremists from speaking at universities.
"It is a profound irony in seeking to protect our values against this pernicious ideology we are trying to bar views too vaguely described as non-violent extremism, which falls short of incitement to violence or to racial or ethnic hatred or the other legislative constraints on universities," the independent peer said.
She said offensive and insulting opinions about the rule of law, democracy, civil society, and women's rights needed to be exposed, challenged and countered.
Other peers also voiced their concerns during the debate.
Liberal Democrat peer, Lord Macdonald of River Glaven - a former director of public prosecutions - said: "An institution that shouts down a speaker with unpopular views or bans arguments that cause offence is not really a university at all, it is an intellectual closed shop, and that is something very different and much less attractive."
Labour peer Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws - a leading QC and principal of Mansfield College, Oxford - said freedom of speech would be undermined by the legislation.
"To interfere with or to create a chilling effect is really something we should step back from," she said.
Tory peer, Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn - a former master of Jesus College, Cambridge - said free speech should be constrained "as little as possible" in universities.
"Very high principles are at stake here and at risk," he said.
Lord Bates said the government regarded it as important for universities to be included in the Bill.
Between 1999 and 2009, around 30% of people convicted of al-Qaeda-related terrorism offences had attended a higher education institution, he said.
"Freedom of speech is not an absolute. The duty is to secure freedom of speech within the law," he said
But he told peers he understood "the trepidations of many in this House and I have heard the strength of feeling on this matter".
He said he would discuss the proposal with ministerial colleagues "in order to identify whether it would be possible to provide some additional comfort to peers and to the education sector itself".
He was fatally injured after he was hit by a trailer on a farm at Ballinaboy, near Belmullet.
It happened shortly before 21:00 BST on Wednesday.
Police said the incident was being treated as a tragic accident.
However, only two of the blocks were sold in the auction, falling short of the government's expectations.
Bidders were expected to sign new contracts with the Mexican state to explore, produce and refine oil.
Mexico has fallen from the world's fifth biggest oil producer to tenth.
The BBC's Mexico correspondent Juan Paullier said it was a "historic" moment for the country, with private oil contracts being awarded for the first time since the industry was nationalised in 1938.
"Crumbling infrastructure, bureaucracy and corruption have affected Mexico's state-owned oil company Pemex, and production has declined," he added.
These auctions are part of the government's plan to encourage private investment and boost oil production.
Only nine companies took part in the auction, fewer than the 25 originally planned.
The 26-year-old, understood to be from Scotland, was found dead in the village of Kuttanen in Finland on Saturday.
Lapland Police said her 36-year-old Czech boyfriend fled on a dog sled and a manhunt was launched involving snow scooters and a helicopter.
The man was found a few hours later in the wilderness, in temperatures of -30C, and taken to hospital.
After treatment he was taken into police custody on suspicion of killing the woman.
The couple were seasonal workers in the area which is very close to the border with Sweden.
The woman, who has not been named, was employed by Santa Safari, which works with Oxford-based tour operator Transun Travel to organise Christmas-themed excursions in Lapland.
A spokesperson for Santa Safari said: "We are deeply saddened to confirm that a member of the Santa Safari team was discovered dead on the 3rd December.
"We are all in shock from this tragic news and our thoughts go out to her family.
"Our team is working closely with the Finnish Police and relevant authorities to support the investigation that is now under way.
"It goes without saying that we will do everything we can to support the family and our staff at this incredibly difficult time."
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Police Scotland have been contacted by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office regarding the death of a British national in Finland and will continue to assist them as required."
A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said: "We are supporting the family of a British national who died in Finland on 3 December."
Travel operator Transun posted a message on its Facebook page saying that some of its tours could be disrupted as a result of the Finnish police investigation.
It said: "We are deeply saddened to confirm that a member of staff working for our overseas supplier Santa Safari was discovered dead on the 3rd December.
"The thoughts of everyone at Transun go out to the family, friends and the Santa Safari team. We will do everything we can to support them at this difficult time."
Lewis Jones, 21, had stepped out to see friends when the explosion ripped through New Ferry, Wirral, on Saturday.
His family said they unsuccessfully tried his phone in the aftermath, but it was "only when we went outside that we found out what had happened".
A woman was also seriously injured in the blast, which hurt 31 others.
Merseyside Police said the woman has since been discharged from hospital.
In a joint statement, Mr Jones's mother Maureen and older brother Jonathan said the 21-year-old left their house close to the blast site "just a couple of minutes before the explosion".
"After... we rang his phone, because we had no idea which direction he had gone in, but it was switched off.
"It was only when we went outside that we found out what had happened."
Mrs Jones said that as a mother, "you always worry about your children going out... but you don't expect something like this to happen just a few minutes from home".
The pair said the Everton fan was a "real joker", who was also "very kind and sensitive".
A police spokesman said Mr Jones was being treated at The Walton Centre in Liverpool, a hospital which specialises in neurology and spinal services.
Everton ambassador Graeme Sharp said the thoughts of the club were with Mr Jones and his family, adding that everyone there was "all deeply saddened to hear of what Lewis is going through".
Merseyside Police, Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service, Wirral Borough Council, the Health and Safety Inspectorate and the National Grid are continuing to jointly investigate the cause of the explosion.
A number of shops and businesses within the original blast cordon have now reopened, the council said.
The finale, which airs at 20:00 BST on BBC One, looks set to become the most watched episode in the show's history, after 10 million tuned in to see last week's chocolate challenge.
Last year's final, won by Nancy Birtwhistle, was watched by 13.3 million viewers. That made it the biggest show of the year, beaten only by England playing Uruguay in the football World Cup.
More than 13,000 people applied this year, from which 12 hopefuls made it into the tent.
Here's a closer look at the last bakers standing:
Nadiya, 30, from Leeds, has been baking for 10 years after wondering why her father only served ice cream for dessert at his restaurant.
Her family is originally from Bangladesh, where desserts aren't a big feature of mealtimes, but she was encouraged to bake by a school home economics teacher.
According to bookmakers William Hill, Nadiya is favourite to win, with odds of 2/5. "It will take a strong soufflé to knock her off the top spot," said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.
Ian, 41, from Cambridgeshire is a renowned travel photographer and the Dalai Lama's personal photographer when he is in the UK.
Ian's passion for foraging and travelling the world mean he's never afraid to bake with an unusual discovery from his garden - or much further afield. Ian is looking like second favourite to win with odds of 7/2.
Tamal, 29, grew up in Hertfordshire where his parents moved to from India in the 1960s. Now a trainee anaesthetist working in Manchester, his older sister taught him to bake - even asking him to create her wedding cake.
Tamal is the current outsider, with 5/1 odds of coming out on top.
Crewe has been chosen above Stoke-on-Trent as the next key staging post on the route to Manchester.
Improving transport links with the north of England is a key part of the government's transport policy.
The bill for the first stage of HS2 has not yet been through parliament.
The bill for the London to Birmingham section of the route, the biggest in parliamentary history, may not gain Royal Assent for a year.
Before that can happen, a committee is going through the planned route inch by inch with those affected.
The government hopes the London to Birmingham route will be completed by 2026, and the routes to Manchester and Leeds by 2033. A separate bill will be needed for the Manchester and Leeds routes.
Last year, the boss of HS2, Sir David Higgins, said the £55.7bn project should be completed sooner than that.
The boss of HS2 recommended taking the line a further 43 miles to Crewe last year.
He argued that it's relatively straightforward in engineering terms yet would save a significant amount of time.
Now the government's agreed, despite a strong bid to go via Stoke instead.
Interestingly, today's announcement doesn't include plans for a new hub station at Crewe. That decision won't be taken until next Autumn.
New stations are the most expensive things of all, so it raises the prospect of something else losing out. In the past they've looked at whether a planned new station at Manchester Airport should be postponed although the government suggests that's no longer on the cards, "subject to agreeing an appropriate local funding contribution to the costs".
HS2 has dropped out of the headlines since the brand new government pledged unbending support, but there's still a long way to go before MPs even vote on the bill for the first leg, between London and Birmingham. That bill might not get Royal Assent until the end of next year.
Still, the project feels a lot more certain than it did a couple of years ago, when the then Shadow chancellor, Ed Balls (how long ago does that feel!) questioned its value for money.
I still meet a lot of people who think it's a waste of money with a woolly economic case though. And I don't just mean those with a house on the route. I mean economists and business people with no axe to grind.
Reaction: HS2 Birmingham to Crewe 'bitter blow'
The Chancellor, George Osborne also announced that the former head of the CBI business group John Cridland would chair a new body called Transport for the North, which will look to improve transport links across the North.
The new timetable means a part of the second phase of the project is due to open only a year after the first phase from London to Birmingham is due to be operational.
"Bringing forward this part of the HS2 route by six years is a massive step in the right direction for the Northern Powerhouse where high-speed rail will play a big role in connecting up the entire region with the rest of the country," the chancellor said.
The Treasury said journey times between Crewe and London would be cut by 35 minutes once the new route was open.
In his Spending Review last week, Mr Osborne confirmed that the government would spend £13bn on improving transport links in the North.
Fourth-placed City are 10 points behind leaders Leicester after having lost their last three league games.
Pellegrini feels 75 points will win the title - a tally his side are currently 28 points off achieving.
"We have just had a bad moment but we have 33 points [available] to try to reach it," said Pellegrini.
"I said a couple of months ago, before we ended the first round of fixtures, that for me maybe the winner will have less than 80 points. It is impossible to know but I am sure we will have a champion of around 75 points or more.
"We are not going to give up. Ten points is a lot but we have one game [in hand] and in the Premier League you never know when you are going to lose points.
"I don't see why the players would be in a negative mind. I think they try to win every time they play."
City, who won the Capital One Cup on penalties against Liverpool last Sunday and are still in the Champions League, have won just one league game since the start of February - a 1-0 success at Sunderland.
Since then they have suffered three successive league defeats, the latest of which was a 3-0 loss at Liverpool on Wednesday.
Manchester United and West Ham have taken advantage of City's poor form in recent weeks and are now challenging for their top-four place, with the former level on points and the latter a point behind.
However, Pellegrini is refusing to contemplate the prospect of City failing to qualify for the Champions League in his final season before he is replaced by Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola.
"Don't ask me about thinking in a negative way because I never do it," he added. "It's not in my mind, thinking about that at this moment.
"It's important to improve our performance to try to continue fighting first for the title of the Premier League."
City will be expected to return to winning ways this weekend when they host Aston Villa, who are bottom of the league having won just three league games all campaign.
"It must be [victory] because we play at home against a team that is not in a good position - the worst position in the Premier League - but I think the worst mistake we can make is to think we have already won the game," said Pellegrini.
"We must concentrate and try not to make mistakes. All the teams in the relegation positions are difficult because they try to win in any way. I hope we recover our performance and win three points."
Assistant chief constable Rachel Kearton said she wanted to encourage more victims to come forward.
She was speaking after an acid attack at a London nightclub left two people each blinded in one eye and several others with severe burns.
Samir Hussain, who suffered severe burns in a previous attack, called for more to be done to tackle acid attacks.
ACC Kearton, from Suffolk Police, who is the National Police Chiefs Council spokesperson on corrosive attacks, told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme that although hundreds of assaults were reported across the country, other victims might be staying silent.
"I do fear that this is a hidden crime and that some of the victims are in fear of reprisal and don't come forward," she said.
As well as the nightclub attack on Monday, over the last month a family were attacked in the street in north London and a driver was carjacked in east London using "noxious substances".
Figures from police forces across the UK suggest that the number of assaults involving corrosive substances has risen by 30% in two years.
In London, the number of attacks increased from 261 in 2015 to 454 last year. About 74% of police investigations since 2014 were wound down because the perpetrators could not be identified or victims were unwilling to press charges.
"It's something that is used in order to maim and disfigure people and, as we've heard, it has lasting physical and emotional damage for victims," said ACC Kearton.
Samir Hussain was attacked out of the blue after a trip to the cinema in Crawley, West Sussex, two years ago. His attacker was recently jailed for eight years.
He told the Today programme: "It's one of the pains I can't describe, as soon as the substance hits your face, your skin just starts to corrode. I have burns on multiple places on my body, my arms, my neck, my head. They're going to be there for the rest of my life."
He called for greater restrictions on the availability of acids and longer sentences for perpetrators.
"I've got a life sentence myself, I'm never going to be the person that I wanted to be, and that's down to the actions of this individual," he said.
Restrictions on the sale of sulphuric acid, one of the most commonly used substances in attacks, were introduced in 2015, because of its possible role in the manufacture of explosives.
But ACC Kearton said many corrosive substances were common household products, such as bleach, making it hard to restrict them.
"It is a case of working with the retailers to understand what some of the restrictions are that can be practically put into place so that those who are legitimately purchasing these materials can go ahead with their business," she said.
Jaf Shah, executive director of Acid Survivors Trust International, said the current controls did not prevent people buying smaller quantities of acid.
"You don't need to have a large amount to cause serious physical and emotional damage," he said.
He said the UK-based charity, which advocates for victims worldwide, had become aware of increasing numbers of attacks in the UK over the last three to four years.
Attackers might choose acid as a weapon instead of a gun or knife because there were no penalties for possessing it, he said.
"On a global level, women are the majority of the victims. What we know in the UK is that the majority of perpetrators are young men, as are at least two-thirds of the victims," Mr Shah said. "The majority of the attackers are British white men and the majority of the victims are white men too."
He said that in recent years the UK had seen around 400 acid attacks a year, but that the real figure could be double that because the attacks were intended to intimidate victims into silence.
"The damage is so serious that many survivors carry the scars throughout their lives and it pushes them into pretty serious social isolation," he said.
"That's often the intention of the perpetrators, not just to cause lasting scars but to send a message to the survivors. That's part of the reason people may not report it, the fear of reprisal is very much there."
A "noxious substance" was thrown at the trio in Islington, north London, at 13:05 BST, Scotland Yard said.
The man suffered "potentially life-changing injuries", although his condition is not thought to be life-threatening. The woman and boy suffered minor injuries.
Officers have yet to identify the substance used.
No arrests have been made.
A Met spokesperson added that police were still working to "establish the full circumstances" of the attack, which happened at the junction of Copenhagen Street and Caledonian Road.
Jason Buxton, 46, has amassed his collection of action figures, costumes and other merchandise since he saw the original Star Wars film in 1978.
The hoard already fills the three-bedroom home he shares with his wife, two sons and dogs in Ixworth, Suffolk.
"I can't really fit much more in, so we're going to have to move," he said.
Mr Buxton said the release of The Force Awakens has seen his thirst for merchandise strike back, with a new range of tie-in products becoming available.
"The shops are full of the new range of toys, so it's paradise for me. You just walk in and buy loads of it," he said.
"The bigger the house, the more stuff I can have, so I'll buy a bigger house."
The Force fanatic said his obsession has grown stronger as he got older, with much of his valuable collection made up of more recent purchases.
"As I got older and was able to afford the collectables it just got out of hand and has grown and grown - some are worth nothing and some are worth thousands," he said.

Mr Buxton saw the first film A New Hope at the long-gone Focus Cinema in Bury St Edmunds and planned on seeing The Force Awakens at its first midnight showing on Thursday.
The family regularly attend conventions and earlier this year went to Anaheim, California, for the Star Wars Celebration event where thousands of fans saw the premiere of the new movie's trailer.
"There were grown men crying and screaming," said Mr Buxton. "It was phenomenal."

Maria Buxton, Jason's wife, said: "I enjoy the social side of the events we go to - who knows where it will take us next?
"If we can keep the collection in an annex in the new house, then it would be ideal because I can have my little space.
"But I do have my limits."
The three mopeds were travelling south on the bridge when they mounted the east pavement and hit the woman at about 00:40 BST.
City of London Police said they had tried to stop the group in Gracechurch Street but lost sight of them.
The woman was taken to hospital where she was treated for a leg injury.
A spokesperson for the force said officers were not pursuing the gang along the bridge at the time but had been monitoring them on CCTV.
"The City of London Police is investigating this incident and anyone with information is asked to contact 101," the force said.
Security barriers were installed alongside the pavements on London Bridge following June's terror attack.
Belfast City Council pulled funding of about £1,000, some of which was to be used for a children's fun day at Sandy Row on Tuesday.
One of the organisers said local people had been told the council had expressed concerns about the height of the nearby bonfire.
The council said discussions were ongoing in relation to the funding.
Sandy Row's children's fun day and bonfire celebrations have been taking place on the eve of the annual Twelfth of July commemorations, which mark the victory of William III at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
The bonfire, that contains hundreds of wooden pallets, is in a car park near a hotel.
One of the organisers of the street party, John Cameron, said he believed the bonfire builders had complied with the council's policies.
He added that there was a lot of disappointment in the area that the council had pulled its support for a children's party at such short notice - but that the event had gone ahead with the support of local businesses.
"Children don't understand that, so the community has got together, along with local businesses, and they have managed to pull together a fun day," he said.
"It's a real tribute to the people of Sandy Row to make sure that it goes ahead."
An MLA for the area, Christopher Stalford, was among those who criticised the council's move and is seeking an explanation.
In a letter to council officials, the DUP MP said Sandy Row residents were "absolutely aghast at the decision that has been taken and feel very saddened and offended".
Mr Stalford asked: "If the issue is related to the bonfire in Sandy Row, why is the event which is held hundreds of yards away being penalised?"
Mr Cameron said the Sandy Row bonfire had been in the news for weeks and those responsible for building it had tried to abide by the advice of the council.
The police and the council are holding separate investigations into the alleged theft of hundreds of wooden pallets that had been placed in storage on council-controlled land in advance of Eleventh Night bonfires.
Mr Cameron said that after the pallets were removed, a number of tyres were "illegally dumped on the site".
He said community representatives contacted the council in order to "abide by the policies in place for the funding and the guidance that we were given".
"The council came, collected and disposed of the tyres in the right manner and then, with 24 hours' notice, the funding has been cut for this site for a community fun day.
"It's outrageous, it shouldn't have happened. The people of Sandy Row feel let down."
Mr Cameron said Sandy Row was not among the four Belfast bonfire sites subject to a High Court injunction.
The area's MP said je has asked council officials to explain the process they used in approving the decision to withdraw funding.

Adam Owens, 17, was found dead in Newtownards, County Down, after taking so-called legal highs in April 2015.
BBC News NI's Lisa McAlister reports.
But the Scottish government said that for the inquiry to reach clear conclusions and recommendations it must focus on a set remit and time frame.
Survivors' organisations are demanding a rethink - even though the government says this would delay the process.
Victims have said the Education Secretary who announced the inquiry must act quickly to widen the remit.
The Labour party said the inquiry - which was announced by the Scottish government a year ago - would not be able to investigate many cases of abuse, unlike similar investigations in other countries.
It also called for a compensation scheme to be set up to help victims.
Alan Draper of the In Care Survivors' group said: "The government have discretion to change the remit so that's why we're seeking an urgent meeting with the education secretary - to attempt to get her to change the remit."
So far the inquiry has not taken any evidence, but already there are calls for major changes to be made in how it will operate.
Abuse carried out in boarding schools will be investigated; other cases, in parishes, in day schools, or youth organisations will not.
Andi Lavery, an abuse survivor who is now the spokesman for the White Flowers Alba group, said: "The feeling is it's a cover-up.
"The same paedophile priests abused children in primary schools and in boarding schools and in residential homes but the children who were abused by the same paedophiles are not covered - it was the child they harmed not the institution."
In the Scottish Parliament, Labour have been meeting survivors, and are calling for more to be done to help them while the inquiry goes on.
Graeme Pearson MSP, Labour's justice spokesman, said: "I have written to the cabinet secretary to indicate that the survivors seek redress and seek psychological support and other agency support too.
"The sooner that's delivered the better."
Survivors in Scotland point to the inquiry in Northern Ireland which has a wider remit - and also offers victims financial redress in some cases.
David Shaw, whose abuse will be examined by the inquiry, said: "There's still no redress. There's still no help or financial assistance for anything for the victims."
Mr Biden, who has Irish roots, arrived in Dublin with several members of his family on Tuesday evening for a trip that is both political and personal.
Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny greeted Mr Biden at a formal reception at Government Buildings.
He presented his guest with a gift used in Gaelic Athletic Association games.
Mr Kenny gave Mr Biden a hurl and a sliotar - the stick and ball used in the Irish sport of hurling.
He told the vice president: "This is for you, your name is on it - Joseph O'Biden.
"Number eight - you're playing midfield."
Accepting his present, Mr Biden said: "I've only witnessed one game and I've one regret - they don't have the sport in the United States.
"I've played American football and American baseball in high school and college but this would have been... this is a dangerous game."
Mr Biden also told reporters he had wanted to visit the land of his ancestors for years.
"Six years ago, I said 'the president has me going all around the world'. I've travelled over 1,200,000 miles as his vice president, visiting every part of the world.
"And I've told the taoiseach we would come so many times," Mr Biden said.
"We've had St Patrick's Day breakfast in my home, he's been coming over to the capital for the last five, six years.
"I said 'do me a favour taoiseach - Enda - tell the president you need me in Ireland'."
On Wednesday, Mr Biden met Irish President Michael D Higgins at his official residence, Áras an Uachtaráin (the president's house) in Dublin's Phoenix Park.
As the guest signed the visitors' book, he paraphrased another famous Irish-American, former US President John F Kennedy, who visited the Republic of Ireland 53 years ago this month.
Mr Biden's written entry made reference to a speech made to the Dáil (Irish Parliament) in June 1963, when Mr Kennedy said "our two nations, divided by distance, have been united by history".
Mr Higgins and Mr Biden then held a bilateral meeting during which they discussed "Irish, European and current global affairs".
In a statement, the Irish president said they talked about "the current issues facing the European Union and the current position in relation to the peace process in Northern Ireland".
Mr Higgins said he had also "commended Vice President Biden's work on the elimination of all forms of violence against women".
The American guest is due to arrive in County Mayo later on Wednesday, where some of his ancestors hailed from before they emigrated to the US.
The vice president is accompanied by his daughter, five grandchildren, his sister and his brother, according to state broadcaster RTÉ.
The Leyton Orient defender and a 31-year woman were arrested on 7 April.
Officers said the pair were advised on 10 April "no further action will be taken".
The 33-year-old Italian previously played for Liverpool, scoring against Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Dossena joined League One Leyton Orient in November last year.
After joining Liverpool for £7m in July 2008, he scored in the Reds' 4-0 win against Real Madrid in the Champions League in March 2009 and then again in the club's 4-1 away victory at Old Trafford against Manchester United.
Shops and 60 homes were evacuated after the 60m (197ft) jib landed on the vacant clothing shop in West Street on Saturday afternoon.
No-one was injured but the council provided accommodation for 49 people.
Berkshire Fire Service has stabilised the crane and it is upright again. The jib will be dismantled overnight, Thames Valley Police said.
BW Workplace Experts, which operates the crane, has declined to comment.
Earlier, police said experts from NMT Crane Hire in the Netherlands would assess the crane's jib, which is jammed, and that it could take several days to remove the crane from the scene.
Primark said it was liaising with the relevant authorities.
The building, which is still owned by Primark, previously housed one of its stores. Upstairs offices were in the process of being refurbished by BW Workplace Experts.
The Health and Safety Executive is aware of the "major incident" and is assisting the fire service and Thames Valley Police with their inquiries.
West Street has reopened to pedestrians, apart from the section between the affected building and Friar Street.
Supt Robert France apologised for the disruption to residents and said anyone requiring essential items from their homes should speak to officers at the cordon.
"A small number of properties in West Street… remain inaccessible due to ongoing work to recover the crane. We apologise for any inconvenience to residents, however our main priority is your safety."
Residents of Cheapside and Oxford Road, and some in West Street, have been allowed to return to their homes.
Brent Dyson, from Reading Borough Council, said: "We've been receiving evacuees at the cordon all night… so we've maintained a presence here, receiving those evacuees, transporting them to our evacuation centre which is a local hotel.
"We needed to give people shelter from the weather, which was pretty bad last night. There were some parents with children so we just needed to get them off the streets, which we did.
"Luckily the Greyfriars church over the road had opened their doors and helped us receive the evacuees in the very, very short term."
Huib Steenbergen, who lives in the McIlroys building on Oxford Road, said: "People at Greyfriars church gave us tea and we slept in a hotel. I can't stress how grateful we are."
A Primark spokesperson said: "The safety of all staff and members of the public present at the site is our first priority.
"Primark is liaising with the relevant authorities to understand the cause of the incident." | Making digital copies of music, films and other copyrighted material for personal use is to be made legal for the first time under government plans.

The annual North Atlantic Native Sheep and Wool Conference will celebrate the breed when it is held on the Isle of Man for the first time in October.
Organiser Nicky Pattinson said the breed was a "true emblem" of the isle.
The Manx Loaghtan has seen a revival in recent years, having previously been threatened with extinction.
The distinctive sheep, with their powerful multiple sets of horns and golden brown wool, are classed a "primitive breed", meaning they have not been bred with other types of sheep and have characteristics to fit their environment.
Other primitive breeds, which the conference organisers call "Viking" sheep, include the Soay, the Shetland and the Hebridean.
They roamed the Manx hills for centuries, but by the 1950s, numbers had declined, due to the introduction of other hill breeds.
However, the dedication of a few enthusiasts meant the breed was saved from extinction and, although still rare, there are now several flocks on the island and in the UK.
More than 170 international delegates are expected at the seventh edition of the conference, which was founded by Norwegian artist Karin Flatoy Svarstad, whose background working with wool led her to establish links across her native country, Shetland, Orkney, the Faroes, Outer Hebrides, Iceland and the Isle of Man.
Mrs Pattison said that along with the boost for the Manx Loaghtan, it was hoped the conference would also "resurrect interest in spinning and weaving, last practiced on any proper scale several decades ago".
Warburton sustained a knee injury in April, ruling him out for six weeks.
Warburton, 28, could return for a possible European Champions Cup play-off final at the end of May - just a week before the first game of the Lions' tour of New Zealand.
"It is a possibility but there is quite a long way to go," Wilson said.
"If he were to play, it would be a final, if we made a final. Sam will continue with his rehab and as I say all the time, it is a bit of a cop-out, it is about ticking the relevant boxes as we go."
The Blues will play in a semi-final play-off to qualify for the top-tier competition of European rugby against either a French Top 14 side or an English Premiership club on 19, 20 or 21 May.

The former Wales captain is one of five first-choice Cardiff back-rowers who have been injured this season.
Number eight Nick Williams, as well as Wales internationals Josh Navidi, Ellis Jenkins and Josh Turnbull have spent time on the sidelines so far this year.
Wilson added: "It's very rare we have had all five fit at the same time.
"If you have all five fit what you get is a starting three then you can bring some impact off the bench. At the moment I don't think we have had as much impact off the bench as we would have wanted.
"The future for the Cardiff Blues is having a bench that can have an impact."
Cardiff Blues captain Gethin Jenkins could miss the regular-season finale against Newport Gwent Dragons on Saturday with a knee injury that saw him miss last weekend's victory over Zebre.
The firm said it would cease operating its academy service at Mercedes-Benz World in Weybridge on 31 December.
Four Surrey office workers have been told their jobs are at risk.
Twenty-four franchise holders in East and West Midlands and the east of England have been told they can return their cars or carry on leasing them.
A spokesman for Mercedes-Benz World said it would honour tests and lessons that had already been booked.
"We have tried to make it work in the UK, looked at rolling it out across the country. There does not seem to be an appetite for it."
Mr McAleavey said the scale of the job losses was unprecedented.
He is seeking an emergency meeting with Northern Ireland's first minister and deputy first minister to address the issue.
Groups in the environment, the arts and training are affected by the cuts.
"Skilled staff will be lost from our sector and the impact will be felt right across Northern Ireland with a loss of local walking routes, arts events and childcare facilities," Mr McAleavey said.
"Voluntary and community organisations provide highly specialised services in areas where government provision doesn't meet the needs of local people and often work with harder to reach client groups.
"It is obvious that the most vulnerable people will be harder hit with programmes focusing on training and support to help people get jobs, develop crucial early learning skills in children and rehabilitation being cut."
Among the worst hit is the Early Years organisation which promotes childcare.
It has lost a £2m grant from the Department of Education and said more than 170 jobs are under threat.
NICVA has been collecting data on how it believes the cuts will hit various organisations and assessing the impact on their funding streams, jobs and members of the community.
Siobhán Fitzpatrick, chief executive of Early Years, said it was a "worrying time for parents and staff in early years settings".
"We fully appreciate the difficult economic decisions that have to be made but early years is not the right area to target," she said.
"The impact of this on 153 communities, 2,500 children and 177 jobs across Northern Ireland will be devastating in the short and long term."
Marie Cavanagh of Gingerbread, which provides free advice, training, and practical support for single parents, said it lost five of its staff this week through redundancy, with another position also expected to go.
She said it represented a third of their workforce, and as well as the human cost in terms of jobs, it meant "lone parents are the losers".
Ms Cavanagh said the organisation had supported more than 1,300 lone parents to train and undertake essential workplace activities, over the past 25 years.
She said Gingerbread had applied for around £195,000 from the European Social Fund for 2015/2016 as part of a three-year application, but had received nothing.
It had been running a programme, Marks & Start, which combined three days of pre-employment training with a two-week work experience placement with Marks & Spencer.
Gingerbread had hoped to widen the scope of the programme this year.
"Over 50% of those who did the Marks & Start programme got some form of employability, we hoped to widen it out to 300 lone parents," she added.
"Three hundred lone parents have lost the opportunity to train and experience employment which would have benefited their families and children and could have led to employment."
Karen Sweeney, director of the Women's Support Network, said the cuts would have "long-lasting effects in terms of supporting vulnerable families, those with mental health issues, tackling unemployment, reducing child poverty and the provision of accessible childcare".
Ulster Unionist assembly member Robin Swann said: "I am concerned that cuts in funding for training in the community sector will affect the most vulnerable in our society who have no other avenues to fund their support programmes."
Mr Swann, who is chairman of Stormont's Employment and Learning Committee, said the issue was "particularly acute since the minister ceased funding the Community Family Support Programme, and the Collaboration and Innovation Fund".
"The minister has presided over this shambles, but the parties who voted through the 2015/16 budget also need to answer the questions coming from the community as to why their programmes have been scrapped so abruptly," he said.
More than a million Algerians were killed in the fight for independence from France in 1962, and the country has recently emerged from a brutal internal conflict that followed scrapped elections in 1992.
The Sahara desert covers more than four-fifths of the land. Oil and gas reserves were discovered there in the 1950s, but most Algerians live along the northern coast. The country supplies large amounts of natural gas to Europe and energy exports are the backbone of the economy.
Algeria was originally inhabited by Berbers until the Arabs conquered North Africa in the 7th century. Based mainly in the mountainous regions, the Berbers resisted the spread of Arab influence, managing to preserve much of their language and culture. They make up some 30% of the population.

Part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire from the 16th century, Algeria was conquered by the French in 1830 and was given the status of a an overseas province. The struggle for independence began in 1954 headed by the National Liberation Front, which came to power on independence in 1962.
In the 1990s Algerian politics was dominated by the struggle involving the military and Islamist militants. In 1992 a general election won by an Islamist party was annulled, heralding a bloody civil war in which more than 150,000 people died.
An amnesty in 1999 led many rebels to lay down their arms.
Although political violence in Algeria has declined since the 1990s, the country has been shaken by by a campaign of bombings carried out by a group calling itself al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
The group was formerly known as the Salafist Group for Call and Combat, and has its roots in an Islamist militia involved in the civil war in the 1990s.
Similiar but separate Islamist armed groups have emerged in recent years throughout the Sahara region, reinforced by arms obtained during the Libyan civil war.
After years of political upheaval and violence, Algeria's economy has been given a lift by frequent oil and gas finds. It has estimated oil reserves of nearly 12 billion barrels, attracting strong interest from foreign oil firms.
However, poverty remains widespread and unemployment high, particularly among Algeria's youth. Endemic government corruption and poor standards in public services are also chronic sources of popular dissatisfaction.
Major protests broke out in January 2011 over food prices and unemployment, with two people being killed in clashes with security forces. The government responded by ordering cuts to the price of basic foodstuffs, and repealed the 1992 state of emergency law.
In 2001 the government agreed to a series of demands by the minority Berbers, including official recognition of their language - implemented in 2016 - after months of unrest.
The 66 year old from Ballybinaby, Hackballscross, County Louth, is being tried at the Republic of Ireland's Special Criminal Court.
He denies nine charges against him.
The prosecution's case is that he had significant dealings in relation to cattle and land and received farming grants, but failed to make tax returns.
Mr Murphy is being prosecuted on foot of an investigation by the Criminal Assets Bureau in the Republic of Ireland.
A prosecuting lawyer told the judges at the Dublin court on Wednesday that whether or not Mr Murphy was a chargeable person was the "crux of the case".
Previously, the court had heard that a chargeable person is someone who is chargeable to tax on income.
"Thomas Murphy received or was entitled to receive income in respect of trade, then he's a chargeable person," the lawyer said.
"It is not important who is physically carrying out any particular aspects of the work, but who is in receipt of or entitled to receipt of income from that trade.
"In this instance, there's not a dispute that cattle trade is going in the name of Thomas Murphy," he said.
The lawyer said income from the trade went into a bank account in the name of Thomas Murphy and was used to fund a pension policy set up by him.
He submitted that the defence's suggestion that Mr Murphy was the "victim of some elaborate identity theft" was a "construct woven to try to get around the evidence".
"Money was lodged into Thomas Murphy's bank account. It doesn't matter who lodged it, that's where it went," he said.
"He was free to do with it what he wanted."
A defence lawyer told the judges: "Patrick Murphy (Thomas Murphy's brother) lurks just below the surface of this case."
It is the defence case that Patrick Murphy managed Thomas' cattle herd and farming activities.
The lawyer referred to a statement of affairs, dating from 2009.
He said that Patrick Murphy "essentially admits" in the document that he is in charge of the herd attributed to Thomas Murphy.
He said that after the statement of affairs was introduced in evidence, the prosecution made "the most spectacular own goal in history".
"The prosecution bring you the goods. They bring you the evidence of forgery," the defence said;
The lawyer was referring to documents examined by a handwriting expert, who gave evidence earlier this week. The expert told the court there was "strong evidence" that the documents bearing a signature in the name of Thomas Murphy, were not signed by him.
"They exploded the myth there is no forgery in this case," he argued.
He also referred to a bank account opened in Thomas Murphy's name.
"For the first three years of this account, there is not a sign of a cattle dealing cheque in this account," he said.
The defence case is expected to conclude on Thursday.
The Henblas Square site housed a post office branch, toy and clothing shops while it adjoined the BHS store that closed after the company went bust.
Manchester-based MCR Property has now acquired the large complex.
The company is working with Wrexham council officials to find tenants, with a spokesman saying it is looking at "mixed-use".
Wrexham councillor Terry Evans, lead member for economic development, called the area "the heart of the town".
"We've always said that this part of town is crucial, forming the traditional town centre alongside High Street, Charles Street, Regent Street, Hope Street and Chester Street," he added.
Finnigan, 19, joined the Toffees at the age of nine and has since progressed to become a regular first-team player.
She helped Everton win the Women's Super League 2 Spring Series, with the club since selected to join the top flight for 2017-18.
"I can't think of a better way to mark that anniversary." Finnigan said.
"I played a lot during the Spring Series, which was great for me, but I do believe making the step up to WSL 1 will boost my performances. It will help make me the player I want to be."
The first minister laid a wreath at the Srebrenica-Potocari Memorial.
Ms Sturgeon and former moderator of the General Assembly, the Very Rev Dr Lorna Hood, also met survivors and relatives of some the victims.
Eight thousand Muslims, mainly men and boys, were killed after Bosnian Serb forces took over Srebrenica.
The atrocity, during civil war in the Balkans, was the worst on European soil since World War Two.
Ms Sturgeon tweeted: "Deeply moved to visit the memorial to the victims of the Srebrenica genocide at Potocari. We must work to learn the lessons."
Scotland formed close links with Srebrenica after scientists went there to help identify remains in mass graves. Later, some of them gave evidence at The Hague on the war crimes.
The charity Remembering Srebrenica uses the example of the massacre in an education programme which aims to raise awareness of the dangers posed by hatred, racism and intolerance.
Dr Hood said: "The terrorist events of the last few months and years around the world should make us even more aware that hatred and discrimination if left unchallenged and unchecked can lead to terrible evil even amongst those who had previously been neighbours and friends.
"Many of the bereaved are still waiting for justice and for the remains of their loved ones to be found."
Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic was later convicted at The Hague of genocide and war crimes in the 1992-95 Bosnian war, and sentenced to 40 years in jail.
In 2015, Ms Sturgeon met representatives of the Mothers of Srebrenica at a service in St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh, marking the 20th anniversary of the tragedy.
During her visit to the town, she will see the work of the Christine Witcutt Day Care Centre for children with Special Needs, which is dedicated to aid worker and teacher Christine Witcutt from Wishaw, who was killed by a sniper in Sarajevo.
Ms Sturgeon said: "It is a privilege to visit Srebrenica and learn first-hand how survivors and bereaved family members of the genocide have fought to preserve the memory of their loved ones."
She added: "The Scottish government will preserve the memory of the Srebrenica genocide - the worst atrocity on European soil since the Holocaust - through education, commemoration and close relations with Remembering Srebrenica Scotland.
"We too have a role and responsibility to ensure future generations are able to remember and learn from the failure to protect Srebrenica."
Opponents blame Ms Rousseff for a severe recession and a corruption scandal also engulfing her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
She has said she has no intention of resigning but her opponents hope a large turnout on the streets will lead to her impeachment.
She faces charges over masking the budget deficit, which she denies.
Crowds in Sao Paulo at the peak of the march reached 1.4 million, the city's state security office said.
Smaller marches took place in many cities across the coutnry.
The demonstrations were peaceful, with tens of thousands wearing the national colours of yellow and green and holding banners that read "Dilma out" and "Stop with corruption".
"I support her impeachment and new elections because the presidential vote in 2014 was financed with dirty money from corruption," said protester Alexandre Cortes, a 39-year-old engineer in Sao Paulo.
Correspondents have described the crisis as the worst in Brazil for many years.
The BBC's Wyre Davies says Ms Rousseff, leader of the governing Workers' Party has come under increasing pressure in recent months over a huge corruption investigation, centred on the state-controlled oil company Petrobras.
So far, the Petrobras inquiry has implicated some of the wealthiest people in Brazil and politicians from all parties.
Prosecutors say contractors skimmed billions of dollars from the company to illegally finance politicians including those from the Workers' Party and its allies - allegations the party denies.
Ms Rousseff was head of the Petrobras board at the time of many of the infractions and opponents have accused her of involvement.
She has denied any knowledge of the corruption scheme and is not being investigated.
The demonstrators also directed their anger towards Ms Rousseff's political mentor and presidential predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
In Sao Paulo, large inflatable dolls of President Rousseff wearing a sash saying "impeachment" and Lula in prison clothes were paraded through the streets.
The size of Sunday's protests matters, because it could help define the shape of things to come for President Dilma Rousseff.
Her future in office depends on her support from Congress, where she is facing an impeachment process.
If she loses backing from MPs and Senators, she could be out of her job before her term ends, on January 1st 2019.
Support in Congress is very volatile - some of the same politicians and parties who are in the ruling coalition today were previously in governments lead by the opposition.
Sunday's protests could serve as a good excuse for some of those parties to turn against her at a moment she is very unpopular.
Last week Sao Paulo State prosecutors asked a judge to place Lula in "preventive custody" after filing charges accusing him of failing to declare ownership of a luxury sea-front penthouse in the seaside resort of Guaruja.
Lula, 70, denies any wrongdoing and says the claims are politically motivated. He says he never owned the flat.
The most hated and loved man in Brazil
Protesters also expressed frustration that Brazil - a rising economic star on the world stage only a few years ago had wasted a historic opportunity with many holding the PT government responsible.
Brazil recently lost its investment-grade status. President Rousseff has accused the opposition of paralysing the Congress with bickering making it impossible to pass the financial measures needed to jump-start the economy.
The £20m project will be based at the City Quays development at Belfast Harbour.
It is the latest in a series of new hotels in Belfast, with more than 20 projects at various stages of development across the city.
Construction is already getting underway at the site, which is due to open at the start of 2018.
Marriott operate two hotels in the Republic of Ireland, the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin and the Powerscourt Hotel in County Wicklow.
The kanji, or Chinese pictorial script, for "kizuna" emerged top of a public poll for the character that best summed up the year.
For Japan, 2011 was dominated by the earthquake and tsunami in March.
The disasters led to unprecedented numbers of Japanese helping one another.
After the tsunami smashed into Japan's north-east coast on 11 March, killing thousands and engulfing entire communities, people's stoicism and their determination to pull together won international praise.
In April the then prime minister Naoto Kan thanked the world for its help in a letter entitled "Kizuna - the Bonds of Friendship".
And when Japan unexpectedly beat the United States to win the women's football World Cup, "kizuna" forged by the players' teamwork was cited with pride.
Half a million people took part in the annual poll for the kanji character, conducted by Japan's Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation.
About 60,000 people nominated "kizuna", but the runner-up was much less optimistic: "wazawai" means disaster.
For some Japanese, 2011 brought the opposite of "kizuna".
A firm that specialised in divorce ceremonies said in July that they had tripled since the tsunami as people reassessed their lives.
Seven-year-old Callum Smith suffers from Duchenne, a genetic disease that gradually causes weakness and loss of muscle function.
He will be one of around 10 children in Northern Ireland to benefit from the drug Translarna.
His mother Laura said: "It's emotional, we still can't quite believe it."
Callum receives daily physiotherapy and heart medication but is unable to jump, or run, and relies on his wheelchair for long distances.
"We always said that until we had the prescription in our hands it won't seem real to us because we came so close in the past," said Laura.
"God willing it will go really fast now and in a matter of weeks he'll be able to receive his drug."
Patients with the condition lack normal dystrophin, a protein found in muscles, which helps to protect muscles from injury.
Taking the drug, particularly before the age of 10, can help prevent a life spent in a wheelchair.
The Smith family had been campaigning for many years to receive Translarna.
Laura believes the drug will transform her son's life.
"We know of other boys on the drug in Scotland and to be able to see a child that age who could never ride a bicycle before going up and down hills on a bicycle, you wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with him.
"We have heard from the research in the trials that it could extend his walking average for about 7 years, which is immense.
"We've had a lot of support along the way from a lot of the politicians and we are just so, so grateful that it has been made available," she said.
There are 2,400 children in the UK living with muscular dystrophy, but only those whose condition is caused by a particular 'nonsense mutation' - around 200 children - are suitable to use Translarna.
Dossor, 74, was artistic director of the venue from 1970-75.
He nurtured a group of actors and writers that also included Antony Sher, Alison Steadman, Matthew Kelly, Willy Russell and Jonathan Pryce.
Speaking in 2011, Pryce said: "People were taken care of. It was a family."
The actor told the BBC: "You look back on it and think, yes, it was an extraordinary time. For a lot of us, it formed the way we approached our work."
Dossor was credited with attempting to reflect real life in the region and drawing the city's population in, leading to a golden age for the venue in the eyes of citizens and critics.
"The idea was to tackle the political establishment," Pryce said. "There were lots of targets at the time, and it was felt that it was possible to do things at a local level."
Dossor's shows included a documentary musical about former Liverpool MP Bessie Braddock, a play based on interviews with real-life factory workers facing redundancy and others examining sexual politics and family strife.
He also directed Willy Russell's John, Paul, George, Ringo and Bert, which went on to give the theatre its first West End transfer.
In a statement, the Everyman said: "The legacy of the work he made and great actors he discovered and nurtured will burn brightly for generations to come.
"He was a unique and generous spirit and those of us fortunate to stand upon his shoulders will be forever grateful. We'll miss his genius, his honesty and his wicked sense of humour."

Scotland's Orkney Islands took second place, while Wychavon in Worcestershire came third in the Halifax study.
It looked at a range of factors including life expectancy, health and employment rates.
One key measure was Winchester's weekly earnings which, at £824, were found to be 27% higher than the UK average of £646.
The Derbyshire Dales, Hambleton in North Yorkshire, South Cambridgeshire, Purbeck in Dorset, St Albans in Hertfordshire, Wokingham in Berkshire and Chiltern in Buckinghamshire also featured in the top 10.
Winchester: An alternative guide to the 'best place to live in UK'
Crime, education, broadband access, population densities and the weather were also taken into account in the study.
The study found 96.6% of Winchester residents reported being in good or fairly good health, compared to a national average of 94.6%.
Life expectancy rates in Winchester were also higher than the national average, with men in the city expected to live to about 82 and women to about 85.
Crime rates in the city were also found to be among the lowest in the country.
Hart in Hampshire - a former winner of the annual study over the past five years - fell to 26.
Halifax said one reason for this was the inclusion of two new categories in its research - the number of pubs and the availability of health clubs and leisure centres.
Almost two-thirds of the top 50 best places to live are in southern England, according to the research.
Places outside southern England which appear on the list include Monmouthshire in Wales, Harrogate in Yorkshire and Rugby in Warwickshire.
The research also found the highest weekly average earnings of £1,273 were in London's Kensington and Chelsea.
Towns and cities in Northern Ireland missed out on inclusion in the top 50, but the survey's authors said Mid and East Antrim had the highest quality of life out of all the country's regions.
The lowest average annual rainfall of 525mm (20.6in) was in Castle Point, Essex, while the sunniest place was the Isle of Wight, where residents enjoyed an average of 36.9 hours of sunshine a week compared to the national average of 29.7.
The largest homes were in Uttlesford in Essex, Chiltern and Rutland, while the smallest were in the City of London, Tower Hamlets, and Westminster.
Meanwhile, Eden in Cumbria had the highest number of pubs per 10,000 adults at 28.3, followed by the Derbyshire Dales at 26.7, against a national average of 10.1.
Essex-based Lepra Health in Action has expressed "disbelief" at the scene in Aardman's The Pirates! In An Adventure with Scientists!
The charity said the film, due for release in March, sees an arm fall off a crew member on a "leper-boat".
A spokesman for Bristol-based Aardman said it took criticism like this seriously and was reviewing the matter.
Lepra's president Sir Christian Bonington said: "It might make you laugh but leprosy stigma not only hurts, it is still forcing people to live a life on the fringes of society.
"Not only is the dropping off of body parts a total misnomer we have to ask ourselves, as we watch it uncomfortably, is it acceptable for us to be laughing at the millions of people who are disabled by leprosy?"
The scene shows the arrival of the Pirate Captain on board a captive ship, demanding gold.
"Afraid we don't have any gold old man, this is a leper-boat," explains a crew member. "See," he adds as his arm falls off.
Lepra Health in Action, originally formed in 1924, works with 3,000 schools across the UK to promote an understanding of the disease, work which the charity said has been undone by the trailer.
Chief executive Sarah Nancollas said: "The high profile use of this play on a misleading stereotype has the potential to set the leprosy agenda back years.
"We have already received complaints from people affected by leprosy in Brazil and India."
Leprosy is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae, a very slow-growing bacteria similar to that which causes tuberculosis.
It is a painful condition which, although curable, can leave sufferers deformed and crippled if left untreated.
One person is diagnosed with leprosy every two minutes worldwide, according to the charity.
Actor and writer Stephen Fry has tweeted his support of the charity calling it a "cheap joke".
Third Energy has applied to fracture underground rocks at a site near the village of Kirby Misperton and then pump gas from them.
Campaigners want the council to oppose fracking in North Yorkshire.
Councillors will hear from petition organisers and debate the proposals at a meeting later.
Fracking is a technique for extracting gas or oil trapped between layers of rock by forcing the layers open using water, sand and chemicals under high pressure.
Dr Tim Thornton, a local GP who supports the petition, said: "We should just pause and wait and check the signs.
"I don't see that we should use Ryedale as a giant experiment to see if you can frack cleanly."
But John Dewar, operations director at Third Energy, said: "The government and many scientific bodies conducted very detailed studies looking at health, looking at seismology, looking at water contamination and as a result of all those studies they concluded that it's perfectly safe."
An Environment Agency consultation on the plans is running between 10-15 June.
"This is a fully fledged banking and economic crisis," said the despairing source. "The rate of cash withdrawals has trebled in recent days, even with the limits."
Since I arrived in Athens, I have witnessed Greeks queuing at those cash machines that are working, to withdraw the maximum amount of cash they're allowed under the restrictions implemented last Monday.
"People are taking out money around the clock, out of ATMs, on the internet transferring to HSBC - you name it, they're finding ingenious ways to get their savings."
He added: "We desperately need a solution. It will not be long before our country is on its knees, with the damage so great that it will be permanent."
After the referendum polls close tonight, Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis will meet bank bosses, grouped together under the auspices of the Hellenic Bank Association, and the governor of the Bank of Greece, Yannis Stournaras, I have learned.
The meeting will take place after the result of the poll is known, to discuss whether there is any way to ease the constraints on withdrawals from banks and transfers abroad.
Bankers hope to hear what contingency measures are being discussed by the governing council of the European Central Bank, which meets tomorrow. It was a decision last Sunday by the ECB to cease providing any additional emergency lending, called ELA, that forced the banks to close last Monday.
"My concern is that if there is no easing up of the restrictions, companies will start laying off workers tomorrow," said a senior banker.
He added that the so-called capital controls, which include a ban on movement of money abroad, are leading to chronic shortages of medicines, foods, vital raw materials and other important goods.
"Companies cannot pay for imports," he said. "This is a serious problem. We are looking at a huge possible humanitarian crisis here."
What bankers are hoping to hear is that the ECB will provide enough additional lending to them to finance imports of vital goods.
Right now they fear the ECB may do the opposite, and actually demand back some of the €120bn of emergency loans it and the Bank of Greece has already provided - because the value of assets provided as security for these loans may be judged by the ECB to have deteriorated in Greece's economic and political mayhem.
"We are in this crazy position where there is no lender of last resort for Greek banks," said a banker, referring to the perceived flaw in the eurozone that the ECB is much less able to create money to help a member state like Greece than the Bank of England can do for the UK or the Federal Reserve can do in the US.
"How on earth can banks and an economy be starved of cash like this, in a civilised developed country? The banks need money to keep the economy functioning, and we're almost out."
The banker said that if the ECB refuses to provide any additional credit, then the Athens government will have to think about abandoning the euro and introducing a new drachma currency - because otherwise, it would be impossible to pay wages and the economy would deteriorate from being frozen, as at present, to catastrophe.
"How can the eurozone and Athens be arguing over which taxes to increase here?" he asked. "If the economy is destroyed, taxes won't solve anything. What we need is a plan to save the banks."
As of this moment, banks are expecting that they will continue tomorrow to provide cash, up to €60 per account, via ATMs, and some branches may open to pay pensions.
But they wait to learn what restrictions they will face thereafter.
The Green Climate Fund was to have held at least $10bn by the end of 2014, so the pledge is just shy of the target.
The South Korea-based fund aims to help nations invest in clean energy and green technology.
It is also designed to help them build up defences against rising seas and worsening storms, floods and droughts.
Rich nations previously vowed that by 2020, developing countries would get $100bn (£64bn) a year from such a fund.
The US had already pledged $3bn and Japan $1.5bn. The UK, Germany and France have promised about $1bn each, and Sweden more than $500m million.
Smaller amounts were offered by countries including Switzerland, South Korea, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Mexico, Luxembourg and the Czech Republic.
After co-hosting the donors' conference, German Environment Minister Gerd Mueller hailed the achievement, saying humanity must fight climate change so "it doesn't go the way of the dinosaurs".
Hela Cheikhrouhou, the fund's executive director, described the pledges as "game-changing", and said the money would be spent equally on climate change adaptation and mitigation, especially for the most vulnerable nations.
These include small island nations and Africa's poorest countries.
The UK's contribution will come from the £3.87bn budget set aside in the aid budget from 2011-2016 for helping poor countries get clean energy and adapt to climate change.
In Bangladesh for example, British cash is helping landless people living in precarious temporary sandbanks that appear for a few years in the middle of rivers.
The cash pays them to build their homes on earth platforms so their possessions are safe from flooding which is expected to get worse with climate change.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron has been under pressure from critics who say the UK should spend the money helping combat the effects of extreme weather at home.
The fund was agreed because developed nations have caused the majority of global warming so far - and their CO2 emissions stay in the atmosphere for 100 years. Poor countries asked for help to adapt to climate change they have not caused.
But as greenhouse gas emissions are a global problem, rich nations acknowledge a degree of self-interest in helping developing countries to invest in clean technology.
Ms Cheikhrouhou said raising the billions had created "renewed trust and enthusiasm" ahead of international talks in Peru next month, and in France a year later, on slashing worldwide carbon emissions.
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned this month that time is running out to limit warming to 2C (3.6F) by 2100 from pre-industrial levels.
A Bill Leak cartoon published in The Australian newspaper on Thursday depicts an Aboriginal man who has forgotten his son's name.
Indigenous groups said the cartoon was "ugly, insulting and embarrassing".
But the paper's editor said the cartoon brought a "crucial issue" into the public domain.
In the cartoon, a police officer is shown bringing an Indigenous child to his father, saying: "You'll have to sit down and talk to your son about personal responsibility."
The father, who is barefoot and holding a beer can, asks: "What's his name then?"
The cartoon comes in the wake of debate about the Northern Territory's juvenile justice system and high incarceration rates among Indigenous youth.
It appears to be a response to comments from Indigenous leader Noel Pearson, who said this week that Aboriginal people needed to take more responsibility for the behaviour of their children.
The SNAICC, a non-governmental group for Indigenous children and families, called the cartoon "disgusting, disrespectful, and hurtful", adding: "Those involved in publishing such a clearly racist cartoon should be ashamed and should issue a public apology to all Australians."
The New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council criticised the cartoon, saying it was "embarrassing for Australia's national newspaper to publish it".
"Sadly racism and discrimination is a fact of life for Aboriginal people who have lived on and cared for this country for more than 60,000 years," the statement said.
"It is time the decision-makers at The Australian accept personal responsibility for the hurt they have caused Aboriginal people today."
The Australian newspaper typically takes a right-wing position on social affairs, favouring individual responsibility and free-market economics over government spending and intervention.
But it dedicates substantial resources to Indigenous affairs and has in the past won praise from Aboriginal leaders for its coverage.
The newspaper's editor-in-chief, Paul Whittaker, stood by the cartoon, saying too many people skirted around issues in Indigenous affairs.
"Bill Leak's confronting and insightful cartoons force people to examine the core issues in a way that sometimes reporting and analysis can fail to do," he said in a statement.
Arsenal's own point effectively means they will finish third behind champions Chelsea and Manchester City - but the celebrations all belonged to Sunderland as manager Dick Advocaat completed the recovery he has engineered since succeeding the sacked Gus Poyet.
Media playback is not supported on this device
On a night low on quality but high on the sort of tension these relegation struggles provide, Sunderland missed chances - with striker Steven Fletcher the main culprit - to avoid the desperate closing phase that saw them survive a series of last-ditch penalty box scrambles.
Goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon was a heroic figure as he produced a series of fine saves and handled with complete assurance in what must have been an excruciating last few minutes for the thousands of Sunderland fans who had travelled to north London.
All the worries disappeared at the final whistle as Advocaat joined his joyous players on the pitch in front of their supporters, the veteran former Netherlands coach now a Wearside hero.
And, with survival guaranteed, Sunderland's fans turned up the heat on their Tyneside rivals as they chanted: "Are you watching Newcastle?"
The Magpies, who host West Ham, will fight it out with Hull City, who welcome Manchester United, to avoid relegation on Sunday's final day of the Premier League season.
Sunderland and Advocaat must now decide whether to continue their successful relationship - but whatever happens he is assured of his place in Black Cats' folklore after taking them to safety.
They only needed a draw to ensure Premier League survival and their first-half mindset reflected their objective as they dug deep defensively to frustrate Arsenal, with Gunners' manager Wenger an increasingly agitated figure.
Jack Wilshere did penetrate the blue wall of defiance but Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud were unable to take advantage, both unable to hit the target from presentable positions.
Advocaat made two changes for the start of the second half, sending on Fletcher and Jack Rodwell for Danny Graham and Connor Wickham.

The result was a more positive approach that brought three chances that should have been taken, two for Fletcher and one for Patrick van Aanholt, but Arsenal keeper David Ospina saved to keep the nerves of the travelling thousands from Wearside on edge.
As the game became stretched, Arsenal had opportunities of their own and Pantilimon excelled with saves from Giroud's flick and an athletic stop to save Kieran Gibbs' header.
Fletcher, however, was misfiring badly and was the villain again with two more misses that betrayed his lack of confidence.
The Scot raced clear on to Defoe's flick but his over-elaborate attempted finish made life easy for Ospina, before the striker missed his clearest opportunity yet, scuffing over from six yards when Van Aanholt's mishit cross turned into a perfect pass.
It must have been agonising for the watching Sunderland fans and they survived another scare when Jones, facing his own goal, headed Aaron Ramsey's cross against the bar.
Sunderland survived several scrapes inside their own six-yard area before the final whistle was the signal for wild celebrations among those who had travelled from Wearside.
Dow, 24, was one of eight United players not offered new contracts after their relegation from the Premiership.
But Saints boss Tommy Wright is keen for Dow to make a swift decision about a potential move to Perth.
"I can't do any more, it's up to Ryan. We've been in touch with him and the decision will be Ryan's," Wright said.
"I've done everything I can and we're just now waiting for his answer. You'd have to ask him (what the delay has been). He's got his reasons.
"But I can't wait forever because players are being put to us all the time and we have to get things sorted.
"However, I do very much want Ryan here and he knows that so hopefully that will get sorted."
Wright has already secured a deal for former United defender Keith Watson on a pre-contract agreement after his exit from St Mirren.
Dow - along with fellow forwards Florent Sinama Pongolle and Edward Ofere, midfielder John Rankin, defenders Guy Demel, Callum Morris and Euan Spark, plus goalkeeper Joe McGovern - was told on Wednesday his time at Tannadice was up.
That followed the club's relegation to the Championship and the departure of manager Mixu Paatelainen.
The 44-year Englishman was sacked by Sligo Rovers in June, having won the League of Ireland title and two cups in a two-and-a-half year stint.
Kenny Black, McCall's assistant, will take the team for Saturday's home game with Ross County.
Black's future is unclear, with talks planned over the coming days to establish whether he will stay on.
Baraclough was one of six candidates interviewed for the post, with Terry Butcher taking himself out of contention this week.
Former players Mitchell van der Gaag and Rob Maaskant were spoken to, along with ex-Kilmarnock manager Kenny Shiels and Black.
"It will be a hard task to take over from Stuart but one I'm very excited to take up," Baraclough told the club website.
"I'm a positive guy and I'm upbeat most of the time. The players will find that and I'll try and get that across to them. I want this club to feel energised and start climbing the table as soon as possible."
Motherwell finished second behind Celtic in the top flight in the last two seasons but have struggled for form this term and sit 10th in the Premiership, with just three wins from 15 games.
McCall resigned in early November after a run of five consecutive defeats, having joined the club in 2010.
Baraclough had a brief spell as manager of Scunthorpe from September 2010 to March 2011, having ended his playing career at Glanford Park.
"Short-term my aim is to keep this club in the Premiership," added Baraclough. "There is no easy way to go about that and it is a situation that hasn't been at this football club in a few years but it doesn't scare me.
"I feel as though there is more than enough to push us up the table in the short term then try and build for long term by producing players. I am big on development, so the young players will certainly have a pathway to the first team if they are good enough.
"I want to win trophies. Why not Motherwell Football Club? Why can't we win the Premiership?
"You've got to go out with that thinking otherwise you won't achieve anything. To have days out in the cup are great for fans, but they are important. It's a way into Europe and I've been used to that and want more of it, as I'm sure the fans do too."
A farmer living near Kruger National Park (KNP) shot dead one of the males when he found all three eating one of his cows, a parks spokeswoman said.
He wounded another and a third ran away, Janine Raftopoulos added.
A search party of rangers decided to put down the wounded lion and the one which had escaped the farmer, Ms Raftopoulos said.
South African National Parks says the unharmed lion was killed because tasting cattle meat would change its behaviour.
There were also concerns that having already escaped once, the lion would keep trying to leave the park.
"The decision is made by vets and rangers with years and years of experience", Ms Raftopoulos said.
Initial reports indicated that four lions had escaped on Sunday, but parks officials have since said that evidence suggests only three escaped.
Staying safe at South Africa's Lion Park
Runaway lion Sylvester given own pride
KNP is one of the biggest game reserves in Africa, covering an area of 7,523 sq miles (19,485 sq km).
It is not yet clear how the lions escaped from the park, which is largely fenced off.
Officials say they were probably driven out by population pressures.
The latest escape comes after five lions broke out of the same park in May. Four of them were caught but the fifth is still unaccounted for.
The Education Select Committee has called for a long-term plan, as schools struggle to recruit enough teachers and pupil numbers continue to rise.
MPs want more active efforts to reduce the numbers quitting teaching.
The Department for Education said there were currently record levels of teachers.
A spokesman said: "We recognise there are challenges."
But, he said, the department had spent £1.3bn on a recruitment campaign.
The report from the cross-party committee, though, says recruitment targets for teaching had been consistently missed and the teacher shortage is getting worse.
It warns that this causes particular problems in some shortage subjects in secondary school, including physics, maths and computing.
But the MPs say that there is no clear long-term plan to address this - and they suggest there should be greater efforts to keep teachers from leaving the profession and moving to other jobs.
Figures last year showed that almost a third of new teachers who had started jobs in English state schools in 2010 had left within five years.
The MPs want measures to tackle problems that make people leave teaching - such as an "unmanageable workload" or a lack of professional development.
"The government needs to do more to encourage teachers to stay in the profession by raising the status of teachers, improving the opportunities for good quality training, and by doing all it can to help reduce teacher workload," said Neil Carmichael, who chairs the committee.
He said the government could consider "holding fire" on policy changes that added to the pressure on schools.
And he suggested schools needed time to support staff development without constantly being "distracted by the demands of the latest Whitehall directive".
Malcolm Trobe, leader of the ASCL head teachers' union said: "The crisis in teacher supply has a direct impact on the education that schools are able to provide to their pupils.
"It means that important subjects like maths and science have to be covered by teachers who are not specialists in these subjects and that schools have to increasingly rely on supply staff."
Dame Alison Peacock, chief executive of the Chartered College of Teaching said: "As well as bringing new talent into our profession, we must stretch every sinew to hang on to that talent and develop it further."
Ministers have argued that they have kept teaching as an attractive profession in a competitive jobs market.
There have been a series of high-profile advertising campaigns for teaching and there are financial incentives focused on attracting recruits into shortage subjects.
Labour's shadow education secretary, Angela Rayner, said the government was "failing to deliver on its most basic of tasks".
"Recruitment targets are being missed, school budgets are being cut for the first time in decades and we have thousands more unqualified teachers teaching in our schools."
Liberal Democrat education spokesman John Pugh said the lack of pay rises for teachers had added to a sense that they were "undervalued".
"It's high time the cap on public sector wages was lifted so teachers were given the pay rise they deserve," he said.
A Department for Education spokesman said: "There are more teachers in England's schools than ever before, with secondary postgraduate recruitment at its highest since 2011.
"We are investing more than £1.3bn in recruitment over this Parliament and have recruited more trainees in key subjects like physics and maths than last year."

Almost 44 years ago to the day, Bowie stood here - left boot cocked, bolt-blue jumpsuit open at the chest under dirty yellow hair and an oddly captivating expression, with a Les Paul guitar slung over his shoulder.
The photograph of him, taken as the evening light faded under a glowing lamp, was to become one of the most enduring album covers in musical history.
That's why Heddon Street, which could pass for any other smart alley in the heart of London, with its restaurants, bars and exposed brickwork, is rocking today.
And number 23 is a shrine.
A bank of photographers and cameramen survey the scene. People come and go. Fans reminisce. A man plays Heroes on his phone as he tells those around him: "Bowie is everything."
Sheila Killick, 57, from London, is here to lay a dark red rose. "There was just nobody like him, he was just so different," she says.
"The '60s was dark - it was black and white, from the Stones to the Beatles, but he burst on to the scene in the '70s with colourful flamboyance and artistry.
"He was a creative genius."
Mrs Killick saw Bowie live nine times, she recalls, a smile spreading across her face but with tears in her eyes.
"He was my hero. When I was a teenager we used to come here - we didn't have mobile phones but we just stood there [she points to the doorway] and laughed and dressed up in platforms, with typical Bowie up dos and high-necked striped shirts.
"I just felt so sad and thought it would be nice to come here."
One of the floral tributes says "Good luck on Mars", while another says "RIP David Bowie, my musical hero".
A bunch of red roses wrapped in brown paper has "Ziggy" scrawled in black pen. A poster of the famous album cover hangs in the window of number 21, as more Bowie hits float in the air.
"I've been crying all morning," says Paul Morris, 48, originally from Cumbria, a fan for more than four decades.
"I just wanted to stay inside all day, pull the curtains and put David Bowie records on. But I had to come out to pay homage, put a sharp suit on and raise a drink to him."
Frances Corrin, 45, from London, says Bowie was "like part of my family".
"I'm really shocked, I didn't know he was suffering from cancer.
"He put things into words which I thought you wouldn't be able to express, through his music. It just really touched me - his music, the man, his fashion."
Paola Kellman, 56, from London, wearing dark shades and red lipstick, says Bowie was her "biggest hero".
She adds: "I've been here so many times over the years and tipped my hat and said 'Thanks, David, for the music', this just felt like the right place to be today."
Meanwhile, in Brixton, south London, where David Jones was born, the atmosphere is more raw and chaotic.
A scrum, some six-people deep in parts, clamours around the huge explosion of colour that is the Bowie mural on the side of Morleys department store.
His trademark lightning stripe and blue eyes look out over piles upon piles of note-clad flowers and dimly glowing candles, as people crowd for a turn at silent reverie.
Others push their way past photographers, tears streaming, to pay their respects.
"Thank you Starman. Music of my youth. RIP," reads one heartfelt note. Another says only: "Rocks in peace."
One card says: "You were the soundtrack to my life for 44 years. And later to my family's lives too. Words cannot express the loss I feel."
Others write more poetic lines: "David Jones put on a mask coated with stardust and rouge / and showed the gawky boys shivering in their own skin - they could be electric."
Ruth Adam, 54, travelled from Surrey as soon as she heard the news. "It's the only place I can be today," she explains.
A candle is accidentally kicked into the shrine, causing a small bunch of flowers to catch fire. Mrs Adam turns to stamp it out and then reveals what she wrote.
"You are my guiding star and what you gave to the world is immeasurable."
She has worn her best red glitter lipstick in tribute, along with an emerald-coloured star necklace and a coat printed with Bowie's name.
"I had to do something. I had to do something. It was such a shock this morning and I made the decision to come so quickly that I just put on anything Bowie I could find."
How does she believe he will be remembered?
"He was the greatest musician ever." She corrects herself. "No, he was the greatest creative person ever."
Even as it grows dark and begins to drizzle, the procession of people shows no sign of abating. In fact it gets busier - a man in a Union Jack flag appears, and another in a metal-studded jacket. Tourists, trendy-looking teenagers and workers pass by. A couple of bobbies watch the scene as cross-legged mourners begin a steady hum of Starman.
One piece of paper reads: "Bowie. To our beautiful Starman. Thank you for coming up to meet us and thank you for blowing our minds, love Tee and Brixton."
And another lined card, quoting lyrics from Bowie's track Memory of a Free Festival, reads: "We played our songs and felt the London sky resting in our hands / It was God's light, it was ragged and naive. It was heaven.
"RIP David Bowie."
From the mural some fans are making the short pilgrimage to Bowie's birthplace, in Stansfield Road.
It's dark and peaceful here, a world away from the glare of the cameras and crowds at the Aladdin Sane artwork. A steady trail of people come and go, pausing only to lay flowers or light candles.
Anna Monachello, 44, who lives nearby, is weeping.
"The world has lost a real talent. We grew up with him," she says. "It's such a shock."
Galo Akum, 32, leaves a card: "I wrote thank you very much for his music, his art and his great inspiration."
The electronic musician from Chile adds: "It's sad that he's passed away but it's lovely too see the huge gift of music and talent and art he gave us to inspire and create more beautiful things for the world."
The signs at two Brixton landmarks - the Ritzy Cinema and the Brixton Academy - are also paying tribute to their local boy.
It looks like these vigils will continue long into the evening and the coming days.
Amateur rocket enthusiasts have gathered in Scotland to mark 30 years of aiming for the skies.
International Rocket Week 2016 traces its roots back to the first Scottish Rocket Weekend in 1986.
Rocketeers coming together in Scotland have a base camp near Paisley and launch to heights of up to 16,000 ft (4,876m) from a farm near Largs.
Supporters of Northern Ireland and Poland were in the pub together on Saturday night ahead of Sunday's Euro 2016 match between the two countries.
Police said French hooligans started the trouble at about 23:00 local time, but about a dozen Northern Ireland fans retaliated and one was arrested.
One Polish fan was also injured.
A group of 20 to 30 French hooligans arrived outside the pub where Northern Irish fans and Polish fans were drinking and singing.
Bottles were thrown and punches were exchanged.
Supt Nigel Goddard of the Police Service of Northern Ireland is in the city on the south coast of France as part of an international policing operation for the tournament.
He said: "It's clear to me that the Nice fans provoked this incident, but a number of Northern Ireland fans did respond."
But he added that the vast majority of supporters "have behaved really well".
Adam Carr, one of the Northern Ireland fans injured in the trouble, said people in hooded tops "stormed the crowd" and then threw bottles.
"The bottles were coming over the top and I was trying to get out of the way of them, trying to back into the bar," he said.
"After a couple of minutes I realised [one had] sliced me, I was dripping with blood - I had to go to hospital and got four stitches.
"There were about six or seven Northern Irish boys in the ambulances, boys with their heads cut open."
Supt Goddard said relationships between Northern Ireland and the Poland fans "have been excellent".
"They've been using the same pubs, singing songs and having a great time."
Two decades of civil war ended in 1992 but left the country dependent on international donors and it has struggled to rebuild.
Mozambique Direct
But now with one of the world's largest new coal finds and a growing tourist industry, the capital city of Maputo is booming.
For Working Lives, the BBC's Laeila Adjovi travelled to Maputo to meet five people who live and work in a country that is one of Africa's emerging success stories.
In a country undergoing major transformation, Clothilde Maita's job as one of Mozambique's three female train drivers seems only fitting. As such, she is typical of many Mozambican women who relish a challenge.
Juneide Lalgy, a transport tycoon, is another person who thrives on a challenge. Starting with two lorries loaned by his father, he has built one of the biggest private companies in Mozambique. But he has used his success to help others from school children to aspiring young footballers.
Very few people would answer a job advert to work with rats, but Catia Rodrigues is happy she did. Now Catia and her very special rodents are helping Mozambique fight tuberculosis, a deadly disease of that kills 50,000 Mozambicans every year.
Ramos Saide is building the new Mozambique, literally. His construction skills help provide the growing middle class with their prized new houses. His own home, just three square meters (yards), stands in stark contrast to the smart villas where he spends his working days.
Natural resources may be booming now in Mozambique, but the country has always been rich in dance and music and Perola Jaime is considered one of the country's national treasures. From her early years as a famous dancer, to choreographer and mentor to the national dance company, Perola embodies the spirit of the country.
The air force said some staff had texted answers to the routine tests to others, while others had known about the cheating but failed to report it.
The ranks involved range from 2nd lieutenants to captains.
The allegations emerged during investigations into alleged drug use by personnel at other bases.
Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said the cheating had involved officers based at the Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, and related to a monthly test all nuclear missile staff must take.
"Some officers did it," she said of the cheating. "Others apparently knew about it, and it appears that they did nothing, or at least not enough, to stop it or to report it."
Ms James said it was "absolutely unacceptable behaviour" but that the security of the nuclear programme was not in doubt.
"This was a failure of some of our airmen. It was not a failure of the nuclear mission," she said.
The 34 officers have had their security clearance revoked and the entire team in charge of overseeing missile launches will be re-tested.
A further three officers have been suspended for allegedly possessing recreational drugs.
It is the latest scandal to hit the air force and nuclear missile force.
In August, a nuclear missile unit at Malmstrom failed a safety and security inspection, leading to a senior security officer being relieved of duty.
And in May, it was reported that 17 officers in charge of maintaining nuclear missiles were sidelined over safety violations at Minot Air Force base in North Dakota.
In October, the general in charge of America's long-range nuclear missiles, Maj Gen Michael Carey, was sacked, with officials citing a "loss of trust and confidence".
It later emerged he had engaged in conduct "unbecoming of a gentleman" during a work trip to Russia in July.
Gen Carey's removal came days after the Navy sacked Vice-Adm Tim Giardina, second-in-command of the US Strategic Command, over illegal gambling.
Strategic Command oversees everything from America's land-based nuclear missiles to space operations governing military satellites. | A conference highlighting Northern Europe's native breeds of sheep will see the Manx Loaghtan achieve "greater recognition", organisers have said.

The prime minister called on them not to "sit on their hands" and side with Jeremy Corbyn and others he labelled "a bunch of terrorist sympathisers".
Labour's leader has said bombing is not a sensible way to bring peace to Syria.
The BBC's Carole Walker said the PM wanted to win the Commons' backing without having to rely on Labour MPs.
Opposition leader Mr Corbyn was forced to offer a free vote to his MPs after a shadow cabinet rebellion.
As many as 50 Labour MPs could support David Cameron although party sources have suggested this number is falling as Mr Corbyn seeks to persuade them to listen to his arguments against intervention.
Meanwhile, thousands of protesters, led by the Stop the War coalition, have taken to the streets of London for the second time in four days to protest against bombing.
The government motion to be voted on would authorise air strikes "exclusively" against so-called Islamic State - also known as Isil or Daesh - in Syria, and says the UK government will not deploy troops in "ground combat operations".
It says military action is "only one component of a broader strategy" to tackle IS.
According to the BBC's latest research, of the 640 MPs likely to vote, 360 MPs are in favour of the motion while 170 are against. Of the remainder, 20 are "leaning to" supporting the government, three are "leaning against" while 87 are undecided.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed her party's 54 MPs will be opposing air strikes, saying bombing on its own will not rid the threat of terrorism or bring peace to Syria.
The Liberal Democrats have confirmed that their eight MPs will support the government, with the Democratic Unionist Party saying its eight MPs will also back airstrikes.
Lib Dem leader Tim Farron has written to party members, saying he is aware many in the party will disagree with the "difficult" decision he has made, but he has done so because "the threat to Britain and our allies is clear".
He wrote: "I believe it is right to support what is a measured, legal and broad-based international effort to tackle the evil regime that has contributed to the hundreds of thousands of desperate refugees fleeing for their lives."
Addressing a meeting of the 1922 Conservative backbench committee, Mr Cameron warned that if Tory MPs voted against airstrikes they risked undermining a strong message that the UK was standing alongside its allies, including France and the US - already engaged in military action.
The PM's attack on Mr Corbyn - which mirrors comments he first made in his party conference speech in October - was criticised by one Labour MP likely to back airstrikes. Wes Streeting said it was "not the sort of thing" he expected to hear from the prime minister.
While in recent days the government has been trying to court Labour MPs, the BBC's Carole Walker said it was now apparent Downing Street was keen to carry the vote through a combination of its own MPs and their "natural allies", such as the DUP.
Mr Corbyn has urged Labour frontbenchers who support airstrikes to "think again", saying they are "not a sensible or rational way forward" and would "takes us yet again into another conflict".
In an interview with BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, he said MPs "must bear in mind what the public think and what the implications are for this country".
More than 75% of Labour members polled by the party had indicated they were opposed to air strikes, he said.
Asked about his failure to convince his shadow cabinet to back his position, he said: "Some people are more difficult to persuade than others, and I look forward to them being persuaded."
Rather than air strikes, Mr Corbyn said efforts should focus on a political settlement and achieving a "credible line of government" across Syria.
Asked whether, if he was prime minister, he would urge France and the United States - which are already bombing IS in Syria - to stop, he said: "I would ask them to put their efforts into a peace process."
He added: "I would ask them to join in looking for the way in which we can achieve a political solution to the Syria civil war as the best way forward of solving that problem."
MPs rejected air strikes against Syrian government targets in 2013, but have since backed strikes against IS in Iraq. Ministers say it is "illogical" to carry out strikes in Iraq but not Syria as IS does not recognise the border between the countries.
One of the key debating points has been Mr Cameron's claim there are 70,000 moderate ground forces able to fight IS in Syria.
The prime minister's spokeswoman said a claim by Labour MP Louise Haigh that the national security adviser had briefed MPs that 30,000 of the 70,000 were "much more radical Islamists" was a misrepresentation of what he had said.
Ms Haigh made the comment on Twitter, and was challenged by other MPs who had been at the briefing. She later insisted the government must "be clearer about the make-up" of the 70,000 figure.
What began as calls for change on the streets swiftly became a multi-national battleground, which has left more than 300,000 people dead and millions displaced.
Here are six decisive phases which have shaped the course of the conflict to date:
There were almost 18 months between the outbreak of peaceful protests in February 2011 and the point - in July 2012 - that Syria was declared by the Red Cross to be in a state of civil war.
Over this period, the international narrative shifted from one that framed events within the context of the Arab Spring's search for accountability and reform to one of a protracted military conflict.
The Syrian opposition that emerged in this period reflected, and continues to reflect, a broad movement and not a cohesive force.
The government resorted to increasingly violent crackdowns, prompting the establishment of a growing number of armed opposition groups. The Free Syrian Army (FSA) began to form in the summer of 2011, while the key Islamist and jihadist groups such as Ahrar al-Sham and al-Nusra Front were formed in late 2011 and early 2012, respectively.
While the West hesitated over which groups to support, a chaotic influx of funds ensued from regional powers and individual donors in the Gulf and the Syrian diaspora.
US President Barack Obama had declared in 2012 that the US would punish any use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government.
But when the government was reported to have launched a chemical attack in the Ghouta agricultural belt outside Damascus in August 2013, the US did not intervene and instead accepted an offer from Russia to get Syria to dispose of its chemical weapons.
The Obama administration continued to insist that the deal with Moscow was a better outcome. But on the ground it served to embolden President Bashar al-Assad and his Russian and Iranian allies, as it appeared to legitimise the use of non-chemical weapons.
These events shattered any hopes the opposition and its regional backers had of direct US military intervention. They would also undermine potential US leverage in peace negotiations, as the government and its international backers henceforth operated with little fear of US sanction.
Following President Obama's decision not to enforce his red line on chemical weapons, Western support for the "moderate" armed groups was eclipsed by the support of Islamist groups by regional powers Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Even prior to this, some FSA groups had begun adopting a more religious image in order to attract Gulf funding, while some fighters had defected to better-equipped Islamist rivals.
Jihadist groups skilfully sought to exploit the weakness of other groups to increase their power and influence within the rebel movement, sometimes targeting FSA units. Paradoxically, by 2015 this made moderate groups increasingly reliant upon jihadist groups on the battlefield.
The growth of radical groups was further facilitated by the government's battlefield alliances with Hezbollah and other Shia militias, which reinforced the sectarian narrative of Sunni jihadists.
IS entered the Syrian conflict by setting up al-Nusra Front, before announcing a merger with the group in 2013 that was rejected by al-Qaeda. The Syrian government's focus on military efforts against the moderate opposition groups afforded IS room for manoeuvre.
In June 2014, IS announced the formation of its so-called "caliphate", encompassing areas of Syria and Iraq. Defeating IS would soon become the priority in Iraq and Syria for Western powers, leading the West to subordinate the peace process in Syria to an "IS first" policy imperative.
In September 2014, the start of air strikes on IS positions in Syria demonstrated that the West was willing to intervene directly to counter the jihadist group, but not to protect civilians in opposition-held areas from the government's barrel-bombs.
This fuelled a deep sense of betrayal within the Syrian opposition and communicated the prioritisation of a military solution to one of the products of the conflict over the search for a peace settlement that would tackle its drivers.
Following a string of rebel victories in early 2015 - most notably in Idlib - President Assad was forced to admit that manpower shortages had made ceding territory necessary. Russia calculated that the Syrian government required direct material support to guarantee its survival.
In September 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the deployment of Russian forces to Syria. The intervention surprised the international community and immediately tipped the military balance in the government's favour.
Moscow declared its intervention to be aimed at listed terror groups such as IS and al-Nusra Front, but it overwhelmingly targeted more moderate groups, including those receiving US support.
Russia has subsequently become the main arbiter in international peace talks, effectively sidelining the UN and making the US a junior partner in the process.
The Russian intervention has also upped the ante for any form of future Western intervention, as this would bring a real threat of direct combat with Russian forces.
The recapture of rebel-held eastern Aleppo by the government and government-aligned forces in December 2016 was the most significant victory for President Assad in the conflict to date.
The loss of Aleppo appears to illustrate that the rebels' hopes of overthrowing the Assad regime militarily are at an end. But the government also lacks the capacity to control the whole of the country, meaning that victory will prove a relative term in Syria.
Internationally, events in Aleppo cemented Russia's role as the main external actor in the Syrian conflict. They also resulted in Turkey replacing the US as the key interlocutor with Russia in the last days of the Obama presidency.
With the US and its Western allies having ceded the initiative, it now appears Western marginalisation in Syria could leave Russia and Iran to negotiate with Turkey an eventual settlement to the war.

This complex illness has the worst 10-year survival rate of any cancer, with most patients being told they may have less than a year to live.
The bank will collect samples from six hospitals in England and Wales.
The charity that funded it hopes there will eventually be better treatments and earlier diagnosis.
There are 8,875 cases of pancreatic cancer a year in the UK, with almost the same number of people dying from it annually.
Just 1% of sufferers are alive 10 years after diagnosis - a survival rate that is unchanged in 40 years.
Researchers now hope they will be able to improve this dismal picture.
Barts Cancer Institute has praised the "vision and determination" of the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund (PCRF), which raised £2m to fund the bank.
Samples will be collected from consenting patients at six hospitals - in Swansea, Leicester, Oxford and Southampton and Barts and the Royal Free in London.
The tissue will help scientists study genetic changes in the cancerous cells.
The bank will store actual tumour samples - as well as blood, saliva and urine in which proteins indicating cancer can be found - from about 1,000 patients a year.
The aim is to be able to detect cases more quickly.
Prof Hemant Kocher, from Barts Cancer Institute, told me: "Surgery is possible in only about 10-15% of patients with pancreas cancer at the moment.
"We hope this tissue bank will help us develop diagnostic tests so that more patients can have surgery.
"If diagnosed early enough, they can have surgery.
"It is about the only thing that can give a long-term cure for these patients.
"Pancreatic cancer is a complex disease, with a number of alterations in the cancer cells and the cells surrounding the cancer.
"And it's a deep-seated organ, so tissue isn't always available.
"This means research has really been set back."
The PCRF's founder, Maggie Blanks, said: "A nationally co-ordinated tissue bank will not only ensure that more samples become available to researchers, but that these are quality controlled to provide a much better basis for the very best research to be carried out."
Carol Hayes, from Basildon, was among the first patients to donate tissue to the bank, during a gruelling seven-hour operation last year.
So far, she is clear of pancreatic cancer, though she still needs six-monthly check-ups.
Ms Hayes said: "It was the only thing I could give back to say thank you and to try and help, because I was borderline lucky.
"Maybe another couple of months down the line, I wouldn't have been able to have the op.
"They said I was borderline, and so many with pancreatic cancer aren't.
"I saw my enemy, the tumour, on a scan.
"It's like I put it in a box and handed it over - so someone could do good with it."
Adrian Morrish's wife, Noreen, died from pancreatic cancer within a year of being diagnosed, at a time when they should have been planning their golden wedding anniversary.
He said: "It was a terrible period because I was watching somebody who'd had a very active life go downhill very fast.
"It was an appalling year.
"It was a nightmare when the chemotherapy stopped working.
"It was extremely hard for all the family - they lost their mother and grandmother.
"I realise now what an appalling disease it is, with a minimal survival rate.
"That's why it's so important research projects continue."
The US State Department said the $8.6m (£6m) purchase was designed to help Iran meet its obligations under the nuclear deal signed last year.
Officials said the heavy water, which can also be used to produce weapons-grade plutonium, would be resold for research purposes.
The move has already attracted criticism from US Republicans.
Paul Ryan, the speaker of the House of Representatives, said it was "another unprecedented concession to the world's leading state-sponsor of terrorism".
Iran nuclear deal - key details
Back in business, for now
Will Iran get a McDonald's?
The heavy water will initially be stored at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee before being resold.
Under the nuclear deal, Iran is allowed to use heavy water in its modified Arak nuclear reactor, but must sell any excess supply of both heavy water and enriched uranium on the international market.
In a statement, the US Energy Department said the US would not automatically buy Iranian heavy water in the future, saying it was Iran's responsibility to find a way to meet its commitments.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry was due to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss Iranian concerns that sanctions relief promised under the deal has not materialised.
The US has ruled out giving Iran access to the US financial system or direct access to dollars.
Iran also remains under other US sanctions over its alleged ballistic missile activity, support for violent organisations and human rights abuses
Three Wise Monkeys Climbing, the business behind the project, raised more than £43,000 from crowd-funding to help pay for the construction work.
Climbing walls have been installed inside Macintosh Memorial Church near Fort William's High Street.
Other parts of the building have been converted into a training room and also a cafe and a shop.
The 26-year-old scored in the Nations Cup final with a powerful header, helping his side to beat Egypt 2-1.
Nkoulou has made 74 appearances for the Indomitable Lions and is a former captain of the team.
"After winning the Africa Cup of Nations, I have a sense of having accomplished my duty for country," he told the Foot Mercato website.
"Since the beginning of my career, defending the colours of my country has always guided my steps. This mission has always constituted a motivating factor and one of my priorities.
"This decision has been difficult to take and I considered the advantages and disadvantages before arriving at a conclusion."
However, he hinted he would return to the national team, adding: "A lion never dies."
The blaze, which completely destroyed the caravan on Fair Oak Way and spread to two houses, broke out at about 15:20 BST on Tuesday.
More than 20 firefighters were involved in controlling the blaze, which also involved propane cylinders.
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said the man suffered facial burns and smoke inhalation.
The service said the cause of the fire was not yet known.

The Welsh Retail Consortium said footfall grew by 4.5% in April compared to the same month last year.
But there was also an increase in empty stores - rising to 12.9%, up from 12.5% in January. The UK average was 9.3%.
The consortium said the results were "a mixed bag for Welsh retailers".
Numbers visiting the High Street in April were above the three-month average of 3.3% and the 12-month average of 1.3%.
Sara Jones, the consortium's head of policy and external affairs, said: "With shopper numbers rising across all destinations - high street, retail park and shopping centre - confidence will be growing amongst retailers.
"The Easter period will no doubt have had a positive impact, with shoppers making the most of the holiday period to visit Welsh stores."
She added that the "challenge" was ensuring footfall growth was "sustained and improved upon".

They say they are not in a position to accept or reject the government's funding offer for the year ahead by Friday's deadline.
The government argues it is making more money available for local services overall.
Councils are heavily dependent on the government for money but are being offered less to pay for ongoing commitments.
BBC Scotland understands that any council which does not actively reject the offer from the government will be deemed to have accepted it.
Scotland's largest council, Glasgow, has written to Mr Mackay to say it could neither accept or reject the offer at present.
Council leader Frank McAveety said in the letter: "At a time when we see the cost of living rising for many of our constituents, particularly for the poorest, I am dismayed that the Scottish government's solution is to pass on a real term revenue cut of £327m to councils when you yourself have received an equivalent increase.
"I would also like to put on record that we are not in denial about the current state of public finances at a national level, but it is simply unsustainable for local government to receive year on year cuts on such a disproportionate scale without there being serious implications for public services and jobs."
However, the government says new money is available through changes to council tax bands and potential increases in the tax.
The government also highlights new, ring-fenced funding - including £120m which will go to headteachers.
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "We have received no rejections from councils. It is now for local authorities to finalise their budgets, including provision for each of the elements included in the package, at their Council Budget setting meetings which will take place over the coming weeks.
"The Scottish government has treated local government very fairly despite the cuts to the Scottish budget from the UK government.
"Taking next year's local government finance settlement plus the other sources of income available to councils through reforms to council tax and funding for Health and Social Care Integration, the overall increase in spending power to support local authority services amounts to £241m or 2.3%."
It is highly unlikely that any council will get a better funding offer than the one currently on the table - unless the national offer to councils were to change in order to help the government pass its budget in parliament. It is also possible they may get a worse one.
The following councils are known not to have written to the government to accept the offer: North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, Clackmannanshire, Renfrewshire and Highland.
Some others, including Moray, are expected to join the list.
Some highlighted the cut in the amount of money they expected to receive and noted that the Scottish government's budget had still to be passed by parliament.
As the SNP does not have a majority, it will need to win support from at least one other party or secure abstentions.
In a letter sent to Finance Secretary Derek Mackay, North Lanarkshire Council said: "North Lanarkshire Council reiterates its call - backed by a motion of the council in December - for a fair settlement for local government to protect the essential services provided to often the most vulnerable in society.
"After taking into account unavoidable cost increases in areas such as minimal pay awards, auto-enrolment, the apprenticeship levy and contract inflation, North Lanarkshire will have to make service cuts of £34.6m as a result of your offer."
A spokesperson for Highland Council said: "The leader has written to the cabinet secretary this week to advise him that the council's budget will be considered at the next full meeting of the council on 16 February. It will therefore not be possible to confirm the council's position in relation to the settlement until then."
North Ayrshire Council said it was not in a position to either accept or reject the finance secretary's settlement offer until full financial details were available.
In a letter to Mr Mackay, North Ayrshire Council leader Joe Cullinane said the council still needed to consider the full financial implications of the offer.
A spokesman for the council said: "Until the full facts and figures are available - and their potential subsequent impact - and until the council and parliament have exercised their democratic mandates to set their budgets, the council is unable to accept or reject the offer.
"As it stands, the offer made to North Ayrshire Council will mean a cut to our government grant of approximately £9.2m for 2017/18.
"The council leader, in his letter to Mr Mackay, has made it clear that it is unsustainable for local government to receive year-on-year cuts on this scale without serious implications for public services and jobs."
East Ayrshire Council - which has an SNP leader and Conservative deputy leader - has also indicated to BBC Scotland that it is not in a position to either reject or accept the offer today.
Some other councils which have accepted the offer expressed hostility to the deal.
East Dunbartonshire Council's leader Rhondda Geekie said councillors felt they had no alternative.
She said: "How could there be when the cabinet secretary's offer states for those authorities not agreeing the offer, a revised and inevitably less favourable offer will be made?"
Councils are likely to set their budgets for the year ahead over the next few weeks.
They will be able to raise council tax by up to 3%, ending a freeze which has lasted since the SNP came to power. So far only about a third have given any public indication that this is likely, while South Lanarkshire has said it intends to continue to freeze bills.
It seems unthinkable that councils will not eventually accept the deal on offer from the government, regardless of any reservations they may have.
Councils are under a legal obligation to produce balanced budgets and could not operate without government money.
The collapse at the back of the old post office in the Horsefair, Kidderminster, happened at about 21:30 BST on Wednesday.
Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service said nobody was hurt.
Earlier, police closed the corner of the Horsefair and Radford Avenue and said structural engineers would be assessing the damage.

Theresa Edwards, who lives, said: "My partner heard like a big bang and this gushing noise and obviously it was the whole building actually hitting the floor.
"I got up in the middle of the night and just (saw) all like blue lights and everything."
Eugenie Howard, who also lives nearby, said she did not know how many years the building had been empty for.
She said: "(The Horsefair) used to be a very good... area when I (was) a young kid.
"All the shops were going. We had pubs. We had two or three butchers. Everything was good."
McLaughlin netted the opener in the 13th minute when Lyndon Kane found Jamie McGonigle who provided the final pass into the danger area.
The second goal came on 71 minutes when McLaughlin went through to coolly shoot under the body of keeper Dwayne Nelson.
Ballymena scored a late goal through defender Kyle McVey.
But it came too late to prevent what was a deserved win for Coleraine who are fourth in the Premiership table.
Oran Kearney's men have gone nine matches unbeaten in the league and now look forward to Saturday's draw for the cup semi-finals.
Ballymena went into the game without the suspended David Cushley and Matthew Tipton and they were forced on the back foot in the early stages.
Ian Parkhill struck a post with a shot before McLaughlin netted his 13th goal of the season.
Early in the second half Ballymena's Willie Faulkner had a shot palmed away by visiting keeper Michael Doherty.
Sky Blues boss sent on substitutes Matthew Shevlin and Darren Henderson in an effort to change things.
But soon after that McLaughlin made it 2-0 to the Bannsiders.
McVey's 89th-minute tap-in, after Doherty had parried out a long-range Mark Magennis free-kick, gave United brief hope of forcing extra-time, but Coleraine closed out the 2-1 victory.
Coleraine manager Oran Kearney: "The objective on nights like these is to get through - the big thing is getting your name in the hat.
"The goal for Ballymena gave us three minutes of madness which we could have done without. It was a wee lapse at a set piece.
"But there is a big hunger in the team and they ground it out well."
Ballymena United manager Glenn Ferguson: "Coleraine deserved to win - we did not put them under enough pressure to get something out of the game.
"We did not have enough quality."
The car giant announced plans to halve production of its new generation of petrol engines in south Wales.
Ken Skates said he wanted assurances about the security of 500 jobs which was a condition of £15m state aid.
"We want to make sure there are jobs in that plant for decades to come," he told BBC Radio Wales.
Ford said on Tuesday it would cut its investment from a planned £181m to £100m, but had no plans to reduce the 1,800-strong workforce at Bridgend.
The company's statement referred to "fluctuations" in global demand, predicting that required numbers of the new engine would be "lower than originally planned".
Industry experts say part of the problem for Ford is that the current low value of the pound has made imports more expensive.
Although Ford did not mention Brexit, Mr Skates raised it as a factor when asked about developments on Good Morning Wales.
"In order to get stability for Ford and for others in the automotive sector, what we need from the UK government is a firm commitment to access to the free market in order to create stability within the currency markets," he said.
"It's fair to say there have been many warnings since the referendum. There are opportunities in terms of exports, in terms of attracting more visitors to Wales.
"We have been presenting a business confidence plan to make sure we capitalise on the opportunities.
"But of course there are challenges, and I think this is one of many challenges that have been highlighted."
Ford's decision to scale back comes nearly a year after the deal was announced, with the then economy minister Edwina Hart saying it would "safeguard more than 750 skilled Welsh jobs for many years".
The investment - which was won against competition from Ford plants in Germany, Spain and Romania - was backed by nearly £15m from the Welsh Government.
The public money relates to the production of a new line of Dragon engines.
Mr Skates said: "Normally we expect jobs to be secured for a minimum of five years.
"I wish to speak with Ford to gain assurance that jobs will be secured for a longer period.
"We wish to know how Ford will be stimulating demand for that product globally.
"We don't just wish to secure jobs for the short and medium term - we want to make sure there are jobs in that plant for decades to come."
This is the first big corporate announcement in Wales since the Brexit result.
Ford and Unite say it has nothing to do with the vote, but Ken Skates danced around the issue as closely as he could when he said Ford's decision to scale back investment highlights the need for the UK to retain tariff-free trade with the rest of the EU.
His view is that everything needs to be done to try to reduce currency fluctuations, and he clearly believes that being in the single market is a way of achieving that.
The weakening of the pound since the referendum has helped those exporting but it makes imports more expensive, something which Ford has said could cause it problems in the long-term.
The economy secretary also gave some revealing details about the terms of the financial aid to Ford which in previous years would have remained firmly under wraps.
Ford will get its £15m support so long as it employs 500 people on the new Dragon engines for five years.
As things stand, it is still due to do that.
September 2015 Workers celebrated the news that they had secured the contract to manufacture 250,000 of the new Dragon petrol engines annually starting in 2018. It secured hundreds of jobs but it meant that Bridgend would only be making a third of the engines it does now.
September 2016 A year on and it emerges that Ford will produce 125,000 Dragon engines - only half of those previously planned - from 2018.
2018 Bridgend Ford is due to stop producing the 250,000 engines a year it makes for Jaguar Land Rover. Production of the 500,000 engines it makes for Ford models is also expected to come to an end around the same time.
A total of 154 state-funded schools out of about 3,200 are classed as under-performing - 61 fewer than last year.
Schools are said to be below target if fewer than 40% of pupils pass GCSEs including maths and English, with grades between an A* and a C, and pupils are not making enough progress.
Education Secretary Michael Gove says the figures are a credit to teachers.
The tables for GCSE level combine achievement in those qualifications with those from equivalent vocational ones.
But this year, the tables for students aged 16 and over are split between academic and vocational qualifications for the first time.
Ministers say parents had been confused by results from schools in the past and that some schools were hiding bad academic results behind good vocational ones and vice versa.
Performance data for more than 4,000 state and independent schools has been released by the government in England.
The figures are from qualifications taken by students last summer.
As a national average, six out of 10 pupils achieved five good GCSEs (A* to C grades) including maths and English - the minimum level expected by the government.
More students are achieving the English Baccalaureate - just under 23% of state school pupils - compared with 16% last year.
This is a measure of pupils achieving A* to C grades in a range of subjects the government says is the core of a good education - English, maths, two science subjects, a language and either history or geography.
Education Secretary Michael Gove said: "These figures are a credit to the professionalism and hard work of teachers.
"Thanks to their efforts, the number of children taught in under-performing schools has fallen by almost 250,000 since 2010.
"This progress has been achieved at the same time as our EBacc has ensured many more young people are taking the core subjects which will most help them find a good job or go on to university."
The top school for GCSEs is Colyton Grammar School in Devon. The co-educational school gained the best results in England for the second year running.
Analysis: Many ways to measure schools
The most improved school was St Thomas More Catholic School in north London. In 2010, 31% of its pupils achieved five GCSEs at grades A* to C, but in 2013, 91% did.
The top school for A-levels and other academic qualifications is Colchester Royal Grammar School, while the top one for advanced vocational qualifications is Archbishop Holgate's School, a Church of England academy in York.
As well as the vocational split, this year also sees the introduction of a new measure known as the "Best eight" - the average GCSE grade achieved by a school's pupils, in eight particular subjects, including maths and English.
The average grade is given as an A*, B, C or C+ for example, all the way down to U.
Viewpoint
From 2017, this will be a key measure on which schools will be judged by the government, replacing the "five A* to C" benchmark, but this year it is only being given for information.
At a total of 81 schools, all eligible pupils achieved the government's minimum target of five GCSEs including English and maths at grades A* to C. Many of the top performers are selective state schools.
Many of the local authorities with the highest-performing schools at GCSE level are in the south of England. The authority with the lowest-performing schools is Knowsley, Merseyside, where more than half of pupils did not get five GCSES at A* to C including maths and English.
Blackpool, Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight and Stoke-on-Trent also have fewer than half of their pupils making that grade.
England is the only part of the UK where data on schools is published by the government in a form that can be easily ranked.
Teaching unions are strongly opposed to the league tables, saying they do not give an accurate or fair picture of what a school is like and how it is performing.
They also believe they damage pupils' learning by encouraging teachers to "teach to the test" and give "perverse incentives" for them to concentrate on pupils at the borderline between C and D grades.
Christine Blower, the general secretary of the National Union of Teachers says the league tables are "crude" and "potentially misleading".
"League tables are based on a narrow definition of pupil performance," she said.
"This makes it impossible to capture a school's contribution to pupils' wider education or to their social and personal development and fails to reflect the character, ethos and catchment area of a school."
Wales abolished their league tables in 2001, but recently brought in "banding", where schools are grouped into four categories, which take account of factors such as GCSE results, attendance and the number of children who have free school meals.
The Scottish government publishes individual annual exam pass rates for Scotland's schools, as does Northern Ireland's Department of Education. Some media organisations produce their own tables from the data.
Club captain Andy Butler netted a rare goal in the first half of what proved to be a fairly uncomfortable game for the League Two leaders.
That was until Cheltenham defender Will Boyle was sent off for two bookable offences midway through the second period.
And John Marquis made sure of the points nine minutes from time with his 21st goal of the season.
Cheltenham, who had claimed 10 points from their previous four games, made an encouraging start and forced plenty of errors from the hosts.
But Rovers went ahead in the 23rd minute when Butler lashed home from close range after a Marquis effort was blocked.
Rovers had chances to make their afternoon more comfortable with Alfie May, Conor Grant and James Coppinger in particular missing good opportunities.
But in the 81st minute - 10 minutes after Boyle's dismissal - they made sure of the points as Marquis added a second goal.

The models include the Corolla and the Yaris subcompact models, most of them sold in Japan, China and Europe.
The cars affected were produced between May 2000 and November 2001, and between April 2006 and December 2014.
Global carmaker have for years been hampered by recalls of airbags made by Takata.
Toyota said it was calling back 1.47 million airbags in cars sold in Europe, 1.16 million in Japan, 820,000 in China, and 2.35 million in other regions excluding the US.
Toyota's recall on Wednesday brings its total of recalled Takata airbags to 23.1 million. So far, a total of 12 carmakers have had to recall vehicles because of faulty Takata airbags, with the total number of recalls expected to exceed 100 million cars.
Car parts maker Takata is already facing huge compensation costs over its airbags, which are used by many car manufacturers and have been linked to at least 16 deaths worldwide.
US regulators believe the volatile chemical used in the inflators, ammonium nitrate, can cause airbags to explode with excessive force.
Several automakers, including Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Ford have said they will stop using Takata airbags containing ammonium nitrate in future models.
Takata also produces seatbelts, child seats, and other safety-related car parts.
The Ballymena-born actor took a break from his day job by visiting Slemish College as it marked its birthday.
The Star Wars and Batman Begins star posed for photographs, signed autographs and chatted with students for about two hours.
A senior teacher said Neeson was an "absolute gentleman".
"He seemed to really enjoy the visit," said Grace Anderson, a senior leader at Slemish College.
"He was lovely throughout and could not have been kinder or more accommodating to the pupils.
"He was very generous in how much time he gave to the students. His commitment was totally to them."
Neeson watched performances by the school's drama department, spoke about film and acting with media studies students and had celebratory tea and cake with the school's sixth form.
Slemish College is an integrated school, meaning it brings together children and staff from Catholic, Protestant and other traditions.
Ms Anderson said that Neeson had a long association with the school.
"When we formed 20 years ago, Mr Neeson was one of the initial celebrities who wrote to us to extend best wishes and add his backing to an integrated school in his home town," she said.
"He's been a supporter of integrated education in Ballymena and spoke at length about his interest in integrated education."
About 7% of children in Northern Ireland are educated in integrated schools at 64 integrated schools.
The schools enrol approximately equal numbers of Catholic and Protestant children as well as children from other religious and cultural backgrounds.
Ms Anderson added that the school only found out last week that the star would be able to attend the celebration.
"We issued the invitation in the New Year, and were optimistic he could find the time. When Liam heard about the event, I think he was keen to come," she said.
"He really could not have given more time to the pupils - as you can imagine, there was no shortage of kids hoping to get a photo with him."
Katrina Percy faced sustained calls to resign over Southern Health's failure to investigate hundreds of deaths.
The BBC has now discovered her new job did not exist previously and she was the only candidate for it.
Ms Percy faced months of criticism for the way her trust failed to investigate patient deaths.
In June, the trust accepted responsibility for the death of 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk, who drowned in a bath at Slade House in Oxford.
Ms Percy resigned last week but went straight into a new role at the trust on the same salary of £240,000 a year, including pension benefits.
Trust Chairman Tim Smart, who has been in his post for four months, said it did not advertise the role but that the work the job entails - giving strategic advice to GPs - "needed to be done", describing Ms Percy as "uniquely qualified".
Dr Maureen Rickman, whose sister died while in Southern Health's care, called the move "completely outrageous".
"She should be axed from Southern Health altogether, end of," she said.
"There shouldn't be a sideways move, that shouldn't be an option at all."
Southern Health said it had addressed the failings highlighted in a series of reports and that patients were now safe.
Mr Smart said: "I can unequivocally look you in the eye and say every member of staff that I have met who works on the front line is putting patient safety and the quality of care first."
The trust is currently being investigated by the Health and Safety Executive over the earlier deaths of patients.
Mark Aspinall, who resigned as one of the trust's 13 public governors following a critical report by the Care Quality Commission in April, said it seemed "very strange" the new role for Ms Percy had been created.
"The health service is usually very rigorous in terms of recruitment, so the idea that a new role has been created purely to move Katrina sideways seems very surprising.
"The whole board has to look at itself and the policies it has put in place that have led to reports that have slated leadership at the trust, and the failures to investigate the deaths of patients in its care.
"But Katrina should have taken responsibility for this a long time ago."
Former health minister Norman Lamb has already called for Southern Health to reconsider its decision to create the role.
"I don't have a difficulty with someone being well paid for a highly-responsible job, but on the proviso that there is accountability with it and that, if things go wrong, you take responsibility for that and you step down ultimately."

The 33-year-old has offered to continue as Test skipper on an interim basis to aid transition to a new captain.
In a statement on the Sri Lanka cricket website, Sangakkara said his decision was made "in the best long-term interests of the team".
"A new leader can be properly groomed for the 2015 World Cup," he added.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Sangakkara, who succeeded Mahela Jayawardene as captain in March 2009, is one of the most consistent players in world cricket, with an average of over 57 in 94 Tests and 38 in 291 one-day internationals.
He was one of the stars of the recent World Cup, scoring the third most runs (465), including 48 in their six-wicket final loss to co-hosts India in the final in Mumbai in Mumbai.
I have no plans of retirement from international cricket at this stage and subject to form and fitness I would like to be considered for selection in all three formats of the game for the foreseeable future
Sangakkara insisted his decision to resign the captaincy was made prior to the start of the World Cup.
"I will be 37 by the next World Cup and I cannot therefore be sure of my place in the team. It is better that Sri Lanka is led now by a player who will be at the peak of their career during that tournament," he continued.
"It has been a true honour and a great privilege to serve my country as captain during the past two years and, although bitterly disappointed that we could not win the final, I am very proud of the performances of the team.
"I met with the selectors yesterday and I explained my reasons for my decision and I assured them of my fullest support in helping our new captain settle into the leadership.
"In this regard, I have offered to continue as the Test captain for the forthcoming series with England [which starts in Cardiff on 26 May] and possibly Australia if the selectors believe this would help the new captain and aid the transition.

"I have no plans of retirement from international cricket at this stage and subject to form and fitness I would like to be considered for selection in all three formats of the game for the foreseeable future."
Eloquent and articulate, Sangakkara is seen as an excellent ambassador for his country, according to the BBC's Charles Haviland in Colombo.
He won warm acclaim for the grace with which he as captain accepted defeat to India in the World Cup final and for the praise he gave to Sri Lanka's victorious opponents.
All-rounders Tillakaratne Dilshan and Angelo Mathews are among those tipped to take charge of the limited-overs sides, while batsman Thilan Samaraweera is being discussed as an option to lead the Test team.

His legacy has inspired plastic surgeons around the world. And techniques like the "butt lift" have become increasingly popular with patients.
The American Society of Plastic Surgery dubbed 2015 another "year of the rear" as, it says, "procedures focusing on the derriere dominated surgical growth".
So what is behind this phenomenon? And does it hurt?
There are several types of procedures. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons a buttock augmentation changes the size and shape of the patient's buttocks by transferring and injecting fat, or by surgically placing silicon implants into the buttock.
The "Brazilian butt lift" specifically involves fat grafting or injection. The patient undergoes liposuction to remove fat from their abdomen, hips and thighs which is then processed and re-implanted into the buttocks.
Conversely a regular buttock lift reduces the volume of the buttocks by removing excess skin and fat from the region. The procedure is commonly performed on people who have lost a significant amount of weight.
According to Dr Marc Pacifico, British plastic surgeon and spokesperson for the British Association for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons, Dr Pitanguy's contribution to the field was immense.
"I think just to mention that he was the creator of the butt lift trivialises his contribution to plastic surgery.
"His contribution is so wide reaching. He singularly advanced techniques in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery like breast reconstructions and rhinoplasty. He helped us understand how we tailor face lifts, or how we do body contour surgery and tummy tucks.
"It is very unusual in the modern world that he managed to a have a profound impact in so many areas because doctors usually specialise in one thing."
Dr Pitanguy is also renowned for making plastic surgery available to the poor to fix deformities or bodily abnormalities. On the website of his clinic he wrote:
"An individual's suffering is not proportional to his deformity, but to the perturbation caused to his harmony by living with his image."
Nearly 320,000 buttock augmentation or buttock lift procedures were performed globally in 2015, according to the International Society of Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgery, a 30% increase in the number of procedures since 2014.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons also reported a marked increase in the amount of "Brazilian butt lift" procedures performed over the past several years.
Dr Pacifico says media coverage of the generous behinds of celebrities like Kim Kardashian or Nicki Minaj may partially explain the procedure's rise in popularity, as admirers seek to emulate such figures by artificial means.
He also says people who live in hot climates where more of the body is exposed are more likely to get butt lifts.
The backside holds a special place in Brazilian culture and since the 1970s some celebrities have traded on having the perfect derriere.
Bottoms have featured in Brazilian music and poetry throughout the 20th Century. In 2011, the country started the "Miss Bumbum" competition which judges women's bottoms and annually crowns a "Miss Butt".
Dr Pacifico says butt lifts using fat-grafting, where fat taken from other areas of the body is injected into the buttock, are generally safe.
"The worst case is fat necrosis where the [re-injected] fat dies and can be become lumpy and infected. I don't perform butt lifts with implants because I think this procedure can cause more problems. There is a greater risk of the implants flipping or moving which can put pressure on nerves which run into the legs and thighs."
Although there are risks associated with all surgery, Dr Pacifico emphasised the importance of using a reputable and qualified surgeon.
The most dangerous procedure associated with butt lifts is the injection of silicone (silicone shots) into the buttocks. This practice was outlawed in most countries as the procedure can cause severe infection or blockage, which may lead to death.
The procedure involves injecting liquid or gel silicone into the buttocks without a protective membrane, allowing the substance to travel throughout the body. The US Food and Drug Administration says that silicone is not approved to augment tissue anywhere in the body.
The Miami Herald has reported on several injuries and deaths after women were illegally injected with silicone or were treated by disreputable surgeons and clinics.
"If you have injected fat into your buttocks, I advise my patients not to sit down for up to six weeks. The fat must 'survive' in its new home. When you sit you put pressure on your buttocks which reduces the blood flow to the area.
"Without a constant blood supply, the new fat might not survive."
Patients must sleep on their stomachs or side while recovering. For those who can't sleep on their stomachs, inflatable mattresses and chairs with cleverly placed holes are available so patients can sit and lie on their backs without putting pressure on the their bottoms.
Buttock augmentation procedures vary in price, depending on the country and the surgeon - but costs run into the thousands of pounds.
An alternative to surgery is butt padding, like a push-up bra for your buttocks, or bum lifting jeans, popularised in Colombia as "levanta cola jeans". Both types of items can be purchased for less than £100 ($130).
That sounds a lot less painful.
His body is to undergo tests to find out whether his death in Paris in 2004 was caused by poisoning.
Arafat's medical records say he had a stroke resulting from a blood disorder.
But France began a murder inquiry in August after Swiss experts working with a documentary crew found radioactive polonium-210 on Arafat's personal effects.
By Richard GalpinBBC News, Ramallah
The chief investigator Taufik al Tirawi said they had recently asked the Russians to take part in this investigation because they had "an historical relationship" with Moscow.
It seems the Palestinians do not fully trust France and Switzerland when it comes to proving or disproving that their former leader was murdered.
It is not known how long it will take the three countries to complete their tests. But it will be a key moment - and it is possible they will reach different conclusions.
While most Palestinians are certain their leader was murdered, there are serious questions about the validity of testing for polonium poisoning eight years after Mr Arafat's death. The half-life of polonium is less than five months.
His tomb, in Ramallah in the West Bank, was sealed off earlier this month.
Once the body is removed from the tomb inside the stone-clad tomb mausoleum, scientists from France, Switzerland and Russia will each take samples, former Palestinian intelligence chief Tawfik Tirawi told reporters.
The experts will then take these samples to their respective countries to be tested for Polonium 210 and possibly other lethal substances.
Arafat's body will be reburied the same day with military honours.
Arafat, who led the Palestine Liberation Organisation for 35 years and became the first president of the Palestinian Authority in 1996, fell violently ill in October 2004 at his compound.
Two weeks later he was flown to a French military hospital in Paris, where he died on 11 November 2004, aged 75.
His widow, Suha, objected to a post-mortem examination at the time, but later appealed to the Palestinian Authority to permit the exhumation "to reveal the truth".
Source: Al-Jazeera TV
Many Palestinians continue to believe that Israel poisoned him. Israel has denied any involvement. Others allege that he had Aids.
In 2005, the New York Times obtained a copy of Arafat's medical records, which it said showed he died of a massive haemorrhagic stroke that resulted from a bleeding disorder caused by an unknown infection.
Independent experts who reviewed the records told the paper that it was highly unlikely that he had died of Aids or had been poisoned.
A murder inquiry was launched by French prosecutors in August after an investigation by al-Jazeera TV, working with scientists at the Institute of Radiation Physics (IRA) at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, found "significant" traces of polonium-210 present in samples taken from Arafat's personal effects, including his trademark keffiyeh headdress.
In some cases, the elevated levels were 10 times higher than those on control subjects, and most of the polonium could not have come from natural sources, the scientists said.
But the institute also said Arafat's symptoms - as described in medical reports - were not consistent with polonium poisoning.
King's College London Mathematics School was started in Lambeth two years ago, and pupils have been finding out their A-level and AS results.
With all students at the school receiving either A* or A in maths, there has been plenty of celebrating.
Some of the students spoke to BBC News after they learned of their grades.
In spite of having a two-hour journey from Leicestershire each day, Henry Sinclair-Banks says he "doesn't think twice about the commute. I love this place".
He received his AS marks this year and averaged four A grades. "I'm happy as it means I can apply for the things I want to apply for," he said.
Henry said he first realised he loved maths when he was about six years old after doing a quiz at school.
"I was very good at it and I enjoyed it as well. That was a defining moment for me."
All being well, after his A-levels he says he will "probably go down the academia route".
Living in Morden, 40 minutes away, Zoe Loughton has less of a journey in but is equally enthusiastic about the school.
"Because it is a maths school, the environment is amazing as you are surrounded by similar people and the facilities are really good," she said.
Zoe said she only decided to do maths after receiving very good results in her further maths GCSE.
"Ever since then, I knew I wanted to be at this school", she said.
She said she was "really happy" to have received an A* and two As, and was off to Bristol University in autumn to study engineering and mathematics.
Having received an A*, an A and a C in her A-levels, Nathalie Moore has decided against going to university but is taking up an engineering apprenticeship instead.
She said she thought it would be better "learning the skills as you go along on the job", rather than "forgetting stuff you learn during the first year at uni".
Nathalie hopes to follow in the footsteps of the man who created the company she is joining, Sir James Dyson.
"Hopefully I'll become an inventor one day; that's the dream anyway," she said.
Riu Kawashima received an A* and two As in his A-levels, which he said he was "rather pleased" about.
"If I went to my local school, I think my results would have been very different," he said.
He said he was looking forward to studying maths at the University of Durham in October.
"I'll just see how it goes after uni", but in the meantime, "we're planning to go to the park to celebrate," he said.
Mick Schumacher, 18, will drive demonstration laps in a 1994 Benetton car, a family spokeswoman said.
His father took his first race victory at the circuit on 30 August 1992 before going on to a further 90 race wins and seven world titles.
Schumacher, 48, suffered serious head injuries in a skiing accident in 2013.
He has not been seen in public since.
He retired in 2006 in after two world titles with Benetton in 1994 and 1995 before five titles in a row with Ferrari from 2000 to 2004 - clinching his seventh world title at Spa.
He made a comeback in 2010 with Mercedes but was unable to replicate his earlier success.
Schumacher family spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said it was not possible to use the race-winning 1992 Benetton for the demonstration because of mechanical and insurance issues.
Mick Schumacher is currently racing in European Formula Three.
The Owls had the better of the first half, with Fernando Forestieri thundering a shot against the woodwork from 30 yards out.
Sam Clucas hit the post for the hosts after the break before Tigers defender Curtis Davies headed just wide.
Forestieri was shown a late red card, his second in a week, after being given a second yellow card for diving.
The former Italy Under-21 international seemed to be harshly done by as replays showed Hull defender Michael Dawson did impede the Owls forward.
The dismissal means Forestieri has now been sent off in successive appearances, having been shown a red card at Preston on 20 February, and he will now serve a two-game ban.
It was a second draw between the two sides this season and there was little between the teams for most of the game.
Steve Bruce's side improved after half-time but Forestieri's red card came too late to have any real impact on the course of the match.
Hull manager Steve Bruce told BBC Radio Humberside:

"In the grand scheme of things, we'll take the point but we're disappointed we didn't get the three.
"In the second half in particular, we were the dominant side but we missed the opportunities we had.
"There comes the frustration because we've created chances, we've played well enough, and it just wasn't our night in front of goal."
Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal told BBC Radio Sheffield:
"It was a good point. They started to move the ball well in the second half and we had more problems then.
(On the red card) "I think it was a bad decision. You can see from the reaction of the players and the Hull player apologised to the referee. It was a big mistake.
"There's nothing I can do about it because we can't appeal against it."

Dame Sally Davies is worried that recent controversies over the use of medicines have damaged faith in the way research is carried out and presented.
The review will publish its findings by the end of the year.
A copy of her request was obtained by the BBC's File on 4 programme as part of an investigation into concerns about a clot-busting treatment for strokes.
The CMO told the Academy of Medical Sciences she was very concerned" about a view that doctors and scientists are "untrustworthy".
She set out her concerns in a letter, sent in February, to the president of the Academy, Prof Sir John Tooke.
In this, she cited recent debates over the use of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs for people at low risk of developing heart disease, and the anti-viral treatment Tamiflu.
The letter reads: "There seems to be a view that doctors over-medicate so it is difficult to trust them, and that clinical scientists are all beset by conflicts of interest from industry funding and are therefore untrustworthy too."
She says this is not in the interests of patients or the public's health.
"I have, therefore, reluctantly come to the conclusion that we do need an authoritative independent report looking at how society should judge the safety and efficacy of drugs as an intervention."
The academy's review, which starts on Wednesday, will also consider the use of the clot-busting stroke treatment alteplase - a technique called thrombolysis.
Each year in the UK, there are more than 150,000 strokes. About 85% are caused by an obstruction blocking the flow of blood to the brain.
Patients with this type of stroke may be eligible for treatment with alteplase, subject to tests in hospital.
File on 4 visited the hyper-acute stroke unit at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust to see how staff assessed and administered alteplase.
Dr Jane Molloy, the clinical lead for stroke services, described how they explained the potential benefits to patients and their families.
Doctors would say that for every three people treated with this medication one will make some extra improvement, and one in seven will recover their independence who would not do so otherwise, she said.
They then set out the risks.
"We know that the risk of bleeding with thrombolysis is six in 100 and that will include minor bleeding but also might include major bleeding with the possibility that it could cause a fatal bleed in the brain."
Some doctors say the benefits have been exaggerated. Dr Roger Shinton, a former stroke physician at Birmingham's Heartlands Hospital, is sceptical.
He said: "I'm prepared to accept that there are some patients who could get some benefit, but overall it may be that on balance the number of people benefiting is actually quite small and does not justify the use given the significant harms that we know."
His concerns have won powerful backing from the former president of the Royal College of Physicians, Sir Richard Thompson.
"My worry is that the trials are not consistent, that the evidence is not strong enough to be giving, after all, a very expensive treatment," he said.
"Do we want to recommend a treatment with a marginal effect when we know we are - if you like - killing a few patients and saving others?"
Dr Shinton wants all the trial data on alteplase to be published. Until then, he argues, routine use of the drug for stroke should be suspended.
But Dr Dale Webb, from the Stroke Association, defended the treatment.
He said: "The evidence says that alteplase has made a big impact on the recovery of stroke survivors.
"We have to remember that the number of disabilities associated with stroke is greater than any other medical condition.
"A stroke really can turn your world upside down.
"What alteplase has done is to improve the long-term recovery outcomes for stroke patients."
In a statement, Boeringer Ingelheim - which holds the licence for alteplase in Europe - said its medicine played a vital role in the treatment of acute strokes.
"We are confident in our data, which is supported by the experience of clinicians who have been using our medicine to treat their patients for more than a decade," it said.
"We are incredibly proud of the contribution our medicine makes to patient care at this critical time."

A gunman opened fire on campers on the tiny island of Utoeya, sowing panic among them, before finally being arrested.
At least 80 people were killed, police say, warning that figure could rise as several people are still missing. Initial reports put the death toll at 10.
TV aerial images showed police commandos arriving in boats as survivors tried to swim to shore.
Others tried to hide in undergrowth, appealing for help through text messages (SMS) from mobile phones, because they feared that calls would give them away.
Some of those who caught sight of the gunman described a Norwegian-looking man, tall and blonde, dressed in what appeared to be a police uniform.
Adrian Pracon, an official who attended the event, told Norway's Varden newspaper of "complete panic" among the campers, adding that he had seen four dead bodies.
Anita Bakaas, mother of a teenage girl who survived the ordeal unharmed, told BBC World TV that some 600 people had been camping in tents in woods.
Her daughter, she said, had hidden in a toilet with four other girls for an hour, keeping in contact by text message.
The girl told her mother the shooting had begun after campers were called to a meeting to hear about the bombing in Oslo, which had occurred several hours earlier.
As she hid, people outside the toilet door were being shot and killed, her mother said.
A witness quoted by Norwegian broadcaster NRK said a man in police uniform had called on people to gather round, before opening fire.
The father of a girl attending the summer camp said he had received an SMS that said: "There is gunfire, I am hiding."
"We communicated by SMS," he added. "She told me not to call so as not to give away her hiding place."
Ali Esbati, a Swedish politician of Iranian descent who was at the camp, told the BBC he saw the suspected gunman hours after the shootings began, having been hiding in the woods.
Mr Esbati said that he appeared to be in a police uniform and was holding a rifle.
"I jumped into the water like several other people and moved a few metres away and tried to see if he was coming".
A number of witnesses described how terrified campers jumped into the water to escape the indiscriminate gunfire. But the gunman reportedly fired at people swimming away.
"I saw many dead people," youth camp delegate Elise told the Associated Press news agency. "He first shot people on the island. Afterwards he started shooting people in the water."
She said she hid behind the rock the gunman was standing on: "I could hear his breathing from the top of the rock," she said.
Police say they are scouring the lake for bodies.
Andre Skeie, 26, told Reuters news agency he had seen 20 dead bodies in the water after arriving on his boat to help evacuate people.
A Renault Laguna and a road maintenance vehicle were in collision on the A595 between Moota and Cockermouth at 15:10 GMT.
The driver of the Laguna, a man in his early 60s and from the Thornhill area, near Egrement, died at the scene.
A 64-year-old woman who was a passenger in the car was taken to Cumberland Infirmary, in Carlisle, with serious injuries.
The driver of the maintenance vehicle suffered minor injuries.
The 26-year-old, a two-time Wimbledon champion, was stabbed on 20 December by an intruder in her apartment in Prostejov in the Czech Republic.
She could return at the French Open, which starts next week.
A spokeswoman for Kvitova said the player would make a "last-minute decision" about competing in Paris.
Following the attack in December, surgeons spent almost four hours repairing tendons and nerves in Kvitova's left hand - her playing hand.
The Czech, who won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014, will be included on the official entry list for this year's Championships, which will be released on Wednesday.
Earlier this month, she posted a photograph on social media of her returning to full training in Monaco.
"I hope this picture makes you as happy as it makes me," wrote Kvitova, who has fallen to 16th in the world rankings having been 11th at the time of the attack.
Wimbledon - the third Grand Slam of the season - starts on Monday, 3 July.

The steppe eagle flew 45 times over the Brecon Beacons wearing a miniature rucksack packed with scientific instruments.
The experiment showed that by collapsing his wings in heavy wind, Cossack can fly in conditions that would have grounded an aircraft.
Scientists say birds such as vultures and kites may use the same technique.
During each "wing tuck" Cossack's wings are, for a split-second, folded beneath his body so that he is effectively falling. This occurs up to three times a minute in some conditions.
Study leader Professor Graham Taylor, from Oxford University's Department of Zoology, said: "Soaring flight may appear effortless but it isn't a free ride...it also puts an enormous strain on its flight muscles."
He compared the technique to suspension on a car stopping a disturbing ride.
The 75g (3 oz) "black box", which does not interfere with flying, tracks his position and records acceleration, rotation rate and airspeed.
Prof Taylor believes the lessons learned from Cossack could be useful to human aviation.
"This kind of technique could potentially be used to keep micro air vehicles aloft even in very windy conditions," he said.
The leak in Porter Ranch near Los Angeles has forced more than 13,000 people from their homes.
It began on 23 October and has been blamed for a variety of health issues.
Ms Brockovich said it was the worst environmental disaster in the US since 2010.
"This is a BP oil spill on land," she said, comparing the natural gas leak to the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico six years ago, in which 11 people died.
The well was, she said, an "invisible volcano" spewing out gas "like lava", from the 3,600 acre Aliso Canyon underground storage facility in the Santa Susana mountains into the nearby community of Porter Ranch.
At a public meeting last week, angry residents called for the entire complex - the second-largest such facility in the US, comprising 115 wells - to be shut down.
Kelly Hill, a homeowner and landlady in Porter Ranch, was applauded as she denounced a representative of the operator and the regulators sitting alongside him.
"You are destroying people's lives," an angry Ms Hill told Jimmie Cho, senior vice president of gas operations and systems integrity with domestic supplier SoCal Gas, a division of Sempra Energy.
Thousands of people had been "chased from their homes," she said, urging Mr Cho to "shut down this decrepit, archaic facility so that all of us families in Porter Ranch can go back to our lives. Save Porter Ranch!"
The company has resisted such calls, warning that closing the entire site could imperil the Los Angeles energy supply, although it was unable to provide a figure for the proportion of the city's gas supplied by Aliso Canyon.
"We could have shortages of natural gas, blackouts for electricity, that's not something that we want to happen to the Los Angeles area," said SoCal Gas spokesman Mike Mizrahi. He denied that meant the company thought it worth the risk of leaks to keep the lights on.
"I wouldn't actually even call it a risk of leaks. We've operated this storage facility in good working order for 40 years. Safety is part of our DNA," he said.
Three months after it began though, Mr Mizrahi conceded that the firm still did not know what had caused the leak.
The company, he insisted, had complied with all relevant state and federal regulations in the run-up to the incident, although it had removed a safety valve in 1979. Some experts have argued this valve could have stopped the leak, a claim SoCal Gas denies.
At Thursday's public meeting some of the loudest cheers came when Ms Hill attacked the state regulators: the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates privately owned utilities, and the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR), which oversees the operation of wells.
"It is obvious to all of us now that SoCal Gas is allowed to do whatever they want," she said, adding that an "incestuous relationship" between the company and its regulators must end.
According to the Governor of California, Jerry Brown, who earlier this month declared a state of emergency in Porter Ranch, CPUC and DOGGR have ordered an "independent third-party analysis" of the cause of the leak.
SoCal Gas has promised that it will be plugged by the end of February and the single well in question, a depleted oil field known as SS-25, will be taken out of use.
The use of old oil and gas wells for storing natural gas is relatively common in the United States, according to industry bodies.
SoCal Gas said the leak began when the casing around a pipe was breached at a depth of about 500ft (150m) although it was unable to say why this had happened.
Initial attempts to plug it failed. The company then drew up plans to capture and burn off the excess gas, but abandoned them amid concerns that it could lead to a catastrophic explosion.

Belching cows and the LA methane leak
The firm is now drilling a relief well to a depth of about 8,500ft to reduce the pressure of the escaping gas, the roar of which can reportedly be heard up to half a mile away.
The company attributes ill effects such as nausea, nosebleeds and headaches not to the invisible natural gas itself but to a sulphurous odorant added to it to make it easier to detect a leak.
Some residents have complained of breathing difficulties as well as severe stress as they were forced to move to temporary accommodation and send their children to new schools.
About 13,000 people in 3,340 homes had been relocated, with a further 11,000 or so in 2,810 homes waiting to move, the company said.
Music producer Matt Pakucko is one of those who has moved out. Until October he worked from home just over a mile from the leaking well at the foot of the hills which rise above Porter Ranch.
He now says he can only return to the recording studio in his house when the wind is blowing the gas away.
"It's been a nightmare," said Mr Pakucko, who is the co-founder of a residents' action group, Save Porter Ranch.
Before the leak, he was already campaigning for the entire facility to be shut down, arguing that the "regulators have completely failed" to protect the community.
"This is not a Porter Ranch problem. This is a global environmental disaster," he said.
The effect of the leak on human health is contested.
SoCal Gas insists there is no evidence that it poses a long-term risk but some scientists say there are not enough data to be sure, particularly about the effect of mercaptans, which give the gas its smell, and benzene, a carcinogenic organic compound in the natural gas.
"There's concern for some of the exposures for neurodevelopment in children, for respiratory effects," said Frank Gilliland, a professor of preventive medicine at the University of Southern California's Division of Environmental and Occupational Health.
But the "most likely effect" said Prof Gilliland was "from chronic stress from the whole disaster scenario that's happened….for post-traumatic stress that occurs in the population."
The scientist is seeking approval to carry out research into the health effects of the leak.
The effect of the leak on the environment is a little clearer thanks to measurements of the potent greenhouse gas methane.
According to pilot and scientist Dr Steve Conley of the University of California, Davis, who has been collecting the samples on a series of flights in the area, it could account for "roughly 10% of California's total methane emissions for the year."
"As a society we need to learn the lesson from this that we need to be more ready to respond when it happens," he added.
The lawyers are now sharpening their pencils, with the possibility of a class action lawsuit bringing together thousands of claims against SoCal Gas.
Ms Brockovich, who as a consumer advocate is working with the law firm Weitz and Luxenberg, said the Porter Ranch case should raise awareness of similar problems elsewhere.
Across the country, she said, "lack of oversight, lack of inspections and lack of enforcement" was now being exposed and challenged.
"We absolutely have failing infrastructures in the oil and gas industry… these things are corroded, they're dilapidated, they're in need of repair, they're in need of replacement, they need to be shut down and it is a problem across the United States."
He said the boy's mother, Gabriela Zapata, had five days to show the boy to the authorities.
On Monday, Mr Morales said he wanted to meet his son, after a relative of Ms Zapata said the boy was living in an undisclosed location in Bolivia.
But he has now said he does not believe his son is alive.
"I am totally convinced that this boy has unfortunately died," Mr Morales said in a news conference..
He had a relationship with Ms Zapata between 2005 and 2007, when she got pregnant and the baby was born.
Ms Zapata told him at the time that their baby had fallen ill soon after birth and had died.
"I ask myself why since 2007 did they hide him from me? For what reasons did they distance me?" he said on Monday.
Bolivia's Transparency Minister, Lenny Valdivia, said the mother's account of what has happened since 2007 is full of contradictions.
"She told the president that the baby was born. Then he gave money to help bring him up. It was only when he demanded to see the child, many years ago, that she said the baby had died," said Ms Valdivia.
Ms Zapata, who is in her late 20s, was arrested on Saturday, as part of a corruption investigation.
She worked as a top executive for Chinese building company CAMC.
Last month, Bolivian media reported that in recent years the company had been awarded contracts with the government worth $500m (£360m).
The opposition accused Mr Morales of using his influence to benefit the company because of the connection with his former girlfriend.
Mr Morales rejected the accusations and said they were part of a strategy from right-wing forces to undermine his credibility ahead of a referendum.
He was seeking to change the constitution to allow him to run for a fourth successive term, but the referendum was rejected by 51.3% of voters.
Mr Morales has been in power since 2006 and his current term runs out in 2020.
Ms Zapata has not as yet made any comments on the corruption allegations.
Goalkeeper De Vries, 35, reportedly had a medical at Celtic on Friday having been photographed in Glasgow.
Like De Vries, 23-year-old striker Assombalonga - linked with a move to Norwich - was left out of the Reds side that lost to Brighton on Friday.
"I'm a little tired about the speculation," Montanier said.
Talking to BBC Radio Nottingham after the loss at the Amex Stadium, the Frenchman continued: "I want to try digest this defeat, the rest is not important and for me is not a problem.
"What we need is good players, as we saw this evening, if we are to have ambitions for the Championship."
Montanier insists that Assombalonga, who scored twice in the Reds' season-opening win against Burton Albion seven days earlier, was injured earlier on Friday and would likely return for Forest in time for Tuesday's trip to Brentford.
The Wave, by Derbyshire artist Paul Cummins, was previously installed at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park as part of a national tour.
His full installation, named Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, drew more than five million visitors in London.
Each poppy represented one death in the British forces, a total of 888,246.
Mr Cummins said it was daunting to see the artwork being moved, but was looking forward to seeing it in a new location.
He likened the process to putting together a giant Meccano set.
"I'm intrigued to what people are going to think and how it is going to be presented," he said.
"Everyone is different, and will have a different story, and reaction."
The Wave will be on show at Lincoln Castle from 28 May to 4 September 2016.
Another section of the poppy display - known as the cascade - or Weeping Window - will go on display at Black Watch Castle and Museum, in Perth, Scotland, from 30 June - 25 September - and at Caernarfon Castle from 12 October - 20 November 2016.
Ten years ago that number was seven, 20 years ago it was nine.
By comparison, 10 former Spain internationals are managing in the top two leagues in their homeland, while seven former Italy players are doing so in Serie A and B.
In Germany and France, the equivalent figures are three and two respectively.
At a time when Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, who both gained more than 100 England caps, have just retired, and Ashley Cole, another centurion, is reaching the end of his playing career, the Football Association wants to show there are ways of staying in the game other than the media - and not all of them involve managing.
It rejects as an "urban myth" the notion it is now offering a fast track into management for former England players.
Instead, it creates bespoke programmes that help candidates understand what becoming a coach means - and work out whether it will be something they enjoy.
The FA has also got rid of the ad-hoc method of selecting candidates to study for a Pro Licence, without which you cannot manage at senior level.
Now, in addition to an application form, those hopeful of being selected must submit a video of their coaching philosophy, then attend a two-day assessment centre for psychometric and profiling tests across nine areas deemed to be leadership attributes, including working under pressure. Those who fail can reapply after 12 months but only if they show tangible proof of development.
"Word is getting out across the game that we have upped the ante," says FA head of education Chris Earle.
But the FA's programmes are not just focused on players going into management.
It says there are between 400 and 500 first-team coaching positions and 1,800 in the academy system in the professional game.
Former England captain Gerrard, for example, is taking his first steps towards an intended management career by working as an academy coach at Liverpool.
"We are not saying 'forget those 80 caps', or however many it is," said Earle.
"What we are trying to find out is how well they communicate, how well would they manage in that complicated environment when you are surrounded by noise from the doctors, the physios and the talent ID people. How do you process all the information and still make good decisions?"

Trevor Sinclair, who won 12 caps and played at the 2002 World Cup, is going through the same Uefa A Licence course as former England team-mate Paul Scholes. He is also a regular pundit on Match of the Day.
Sinclair, who spent a year as assistant coach at non-league Lancaster City, said: "Going into a studio and talking about the game might seem easy but there is a certain amount of skill involved to say what you feel about the game.
"Mainly though, it is about opportunity. It seems to be a lot easier to go into TV than it is to get into a football club. I think there is a bit of a fear factor about introducing former players, who have a good name in the game and good experiences, because people who are already settled at those football clubs might start feeling threatened about their own position if the ex-player does comes in and starts making a bit of a name for himself.
"International players have told me they have offered their services for free and it has fallen on deaf ears. There is something not right and I do feel a trick is being missed because it is such a gain for any club or federation to get ex-players involved."
Former Liverpool forward Robbie Fowler, meanwhile, says he prefers to take the long route to management so no-one can question his right to a job.
Fowler, who won 26 caps, hopes to complete his coaching badges this summer - it has taken him longer to go through the process than the average five years.
The 41-year-old was on the verge of completing his B Licence, the first step towards a Pro Licence, when he joined Australian side North Queensland Fury in 2009.
As he did not return to England for two years, he had to start the whole process again.
He said: "I want to do it on my own merit. If you cut corners, questions will be asked."
Fowler is realistic about where he is likely to enter management, saying: "I don't think anyone in the Premier League or Championship would touch me."
And he is acutely aware of the fact only 11 of the 92 managers in the Premier League and EFL have been in their jobs for longer than four years.
But he added: "There are only so many games of golf you can play.
"I've worked hard for a number of years to get where I am now. Hopefully people will see I am really serious."
For all the strengthening it is doing across its coaching programmes, the FA knows judgement will come through what happens at the top end of the game.
In November, Gareth Southgate was appointed England boss on a full-time basis having previously led the under-21 team.
Before becoming part of the international set-up, his only managerial experience was his three-year spell at Middlesbrough, who were relegated under him in 2009.
Earle said: "The number one aim is to have more English managers, or managers who have gone through this process, in the Premier League.
"The second is around succession planning for England managers. Can we add anything - foreign language, finance - that would be of benefit to the people we speak to when Gareth Southgate eventually decides to stand down."
The hummingbird hawk-moth beat its wings up to 80 times a second to allow it to hover over flower heads as it feeds.
It's different from the moths you are used to seeing at night-time as it flies during the day - but lots of people mistake it for the small hummingbird bird.
It is usually only a summer visitor from Europe, but as the climate gets warmer the moth has been spotted spending the winter in greenhouses and sheltered spots in south west England in recent years.
The charity, Butterfly Conservation, wants to find out if the hummingbird hawk-moth is trying to come to live in Britain.
The Egyptian parliament has previously objected to calls from the Irish parliament to release the Dublin man.
It said the request would interfere in the affairs of the Egyptian judiciary.
Mr Halawa was 17 when he was arrested during a siege at the Al-Fath mosque in Cairo in 2013.
He has been accused, along with more than 400 others, of inciting violence, riot and sabotage.
However, Mr Halawa's family said they were on holiday at the time he was arrested and that he sought refuge in the mosque to escape the violence outside.
On Wednesday, members of a cross-party delegation group of TDs met President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to discuss his ongoing imprisonment without trial.
Speaking from Cairo, Sinn Féin TD Eoin Ó Broin, who is among the delegation, told BBC News NI that the president gave a commitment to intervene to secure Mr Halawa's release and return to the Republic of Ireland once a verdict was handed down in his trial, which is due to go ahead next week.
"Although President el-Sisi repeated his view that he couldn't interfere with the judicial process, he gave us the clearest commitment yet that regardless of the outcome of the trial, he'll use his power of pardon to get him home.
"He actually said that if he could do it today, he would."
The delegation urged Mr Sisi to use his powers under a power known as presidential decree 140 to release Mr Halawa and return him to Ireland before the trial.
"But if he was unwilling to do this, we urged him to ensure that Ibrahim would be on the youth amnesty list which we understand is currently being compiled," said Mr Ó Broin.
"What we've been saying as a delegation, in one voice, is that we don't care what the means of release are, as long as it happens.
"Our main concern now is how much more time could pass before the trial happens - itsthe trial has been adjourned time and time again since 2013."
The delegation also met Mr Halawa in prison, and Mr Ó Broin expressed concern for his health.
"He's obviously a strong person, but physically and mentally, he's suffering," he said.
"He's in a cell with 10 others sleeping side by side on the floor with no beds and a communal toilet. The conditions are hugely taxing.
"He spoke about how, when he was first imprisoned, he had just finished his leaving cert.
"Now he just wants to go home, go to college, see his family and his sister's child who he hasn't met, and start his own family one day."
The Saudi-registered private jet - which was arriving from Italy - crashed during an attempt to land at Blackbushe Airport in Yateley.
Its pilot and all three passengers were killed but no-one on the ground was injured, Hampshire Constabulary said.
An eyewitness said the Phenom 300 jet exploded on impact at the British Car Auctions site, which is based at the airfield.
In a statement, Blackbushe Airport said the jet crashed near the end of the runway while attempting to make a landing.
The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation tweeted it was a Saudi-registered private aircraft and that it would support the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) in its investigation.
A spokeswoman for Milan Malpensa Airport confirmed the plane had left at 13:30 BST on its way to Hampshire.
Andrew Thomas, who was paying for a car at the time, saw the plane catch fire on impact.
"I saw it when it had just happened, and could see the plane and cars in flames," he said.
"The plane nosedived into the cars and exploded on impact."
British Car Auctions, based in Farnham, Surrey, operates an auction site and warehouse at the Hampshire airfield.
Barry Wright was at the warehouse when the crash happened. He said the plane "went up in a ball of flames in about 60 seconds".
He added: "It sounded like a missile coming in - very loud, followed by several explosions."
He said everyone was evacuated from the area and people were shouting "get out".
Robert Belcher said he saw a "a big column of smoke" as he was passing the airport on his way home
He said: "I could see the plume of smoke waving from about five miles away and was hoping it was just a car fire rather than an aircraft accident.
"Apparently the aircraft was landing and just didn't stop.
"At the end of the runway there is a car park, because the airport is used for car auctions, and it has gone into there."
Hampshire police said officers were called to the scene at 15:09 BST.
The A30 was closed both ways between A327 Cricket Hill Lane and Blackbushes Road, but has since reopened.
However, the airport access road is closed from the A30 junction. Police have warned people to avoid the area.
Acting Ch Insp Olga Venner said Hampshire police were carrying out a joint investigation with the AAIB.
She urged people with pictures and videos to get in touch on 101.
Around them, groups of people, laughing and raucous, spill out from the many bars, taking no notice of the now-common sight of Syrian child beggars.
Passing the two boys, I stopped to see if they were all right.
Only the younger of the two, Ahmed (not his real name), aged five, lifted his head. His six-year-old brother, however, was unresponsive and in need of help.
With a Red Cross unit just a 10-minute walk away, I decided to get the boy checked out. Seeing the child limp, a passer-by called an ambulance.
Ahmed told me his brother's name, and turning to the barely conscious youngster I called: "Mahmoud? Mahmoud? Can you hear me?" He moved slightly, his breathing shallow.
One bystander leant in, saying: "He just wants money, he's faking it," and then walked away.
A few people approached, some asking what was happening, lingering for a moment, before going on their way.
An ambulance arrived, and the paramedics began asking Ahmed questions about his brother, their voices competing with the noise of dance music blaring from passing cars.
The scene caught the fleeting attention of a few of the people on a night out just feet away, attracting little more than nonchalant glances.
With no way to contact his family, I took responsibility for the children.
Mahmoud was loaded into the ambulance. Ahmed sat next to me, sharing a seatbelt and clutching a blanket in one hand and my arm in the other.
"Where are you from?" I asked him.
"Aleppo," he quietly muttered.
"Where's your family?"
"Here."
"In Beirut? Where in Beirut? "
"Airport, near the airport," he replied.
We got to the hospital, only to find they wouldn't admit the child. "This is a private hospital," they said. Thinking it was a matter of money, I told them I would pay the bill, but they still said no.
With no choice but to move on, we went to a second hospital. The first question they asked was: "You are going to pay for the bill?" - less of a question and more a demand.
When I said yes, a nurse responded: "Are you sure? This can be expensive," implying that the cost might make me think twice about getting care for the child.
Ahmed was sat in a wheelchair, wearing my jacket for warmth. Doctors asked him questions about his family. All he knew was he lived near the airport and there was no phone number to call. He was, after all, only five years old.
He said he had 10 brothers and sisters. They begged too, but weren't in the same area.
He said there would be someone on the street corner in the morning who regularly collected them at the end of their shift.
He looked worried and asked when they could go - because if they weren't at the spot in the morning they'd be beaten.
Mahmoud was dehydrated, hadn't eaten and was severely sleep deprived. He was just six years old and, like his younger brother, worked on the streets all night.
The doctor told me the children could not stay in the hospital. He said unless they could find their legal guardian, the police would have to take them.
"And then what?" I ask.
The doctor replied in tone of both hopelessness and indignation: "I don't know, there's too many of them. There's no room. Shelters are full. Did you hear how many brothers and sisters he has? Ten!
"There are 10 of them. We have over a million refugees here, and they keep coming. What can we do? This is not my problem."
At that moment the police arrived. Ahmed gripped my arm, hiding behind me while I talked to the two officers.
Mahmoud was awake, screaming and crying, begging to be let go, restrained by the doctors.
I asked where they were taking the children, only to be told they would be taken to jail.
The doctors tried to get Mahmoud to wash his hands before leaving, but the boy shrieked, kicking furiously away from the sink.
He screamed that if his hands were clean he wouldn't look like a beggar and the ringleader would punish him.
A policeman held him down and started to put handcuffs on his tiny wrists.
I asked the officer to stop and Mahmoud thrashed out at this brief moment of freedom. The officer responded by striking the child.
Shocked, I tried to calm the situation, getting between Mahmoud and the policeman.
Mahmoud was let go and bolted for the front door. An officer grabbed one of his legs, bringing the boy down and dragging him back. It seemed they had forgotten Mahmoud was a child.
I crouched down to try to comfort the small boy, repeating the same empty reassurance that everything would be all right.
His little hands gripped my arm and we started walking out.
Both boys were crying as they were put in the back of the police car. I put my hand on Ahmed's shoulder, telling another lie that it would all be fine, and that he and his brother needed to look after each other.
I cannot be sure where they are now. Perhaps they are back with their family. Maybe whoever runs their begging ring is used to children dropping from exhaustion and ending up in jail. Or maybe they're still sitting in that cell.
It is possible they have been taken to a children's home where they will at least have a roof over their heads, meals and education.
But I fear that's too optimistic, and the likelihood is I'll be seeing them again soon on the streets of Beirut.
Jay, Georgia, Anita, Katie and Kellie will be feeling the pressure as they have to dance to two different routines each on Saturday.
Here at Newsround, we have been taking a look back at some of the remaining five contestants best dances from this series.
Jay absolutely smashed the leader board in week three of the competition.
He and his partner Aliona danced a Pulp Fiction-themed jive during movie week, earning them the first 10 of the competition and scoring a whopping 37 out of 40 points.
Judge Bruno said it was the best routine he had ever seen on the show!
Georgia ended up in the bottom two last week after dancing to a Beauty and the Beast-themed dance for musicals week.
But it was her Ghostbusters-themed tango from week six that saw her rise to the top of the leader boards for the first time in the series.
She scored 35 out of 40 points and Judge Len Goodman nicknamed her the "Queen of Halloween".
Anita and Gleb wowed the judges in week nine, with one of Strictly's most notoriously difficult dances, the Paso Doble.
The duo notched up an impressive 37 points with judge Darcey Bussell awarding them full marks, saying they blew her away.
Katie and her dance partner Anton whipped the judges into a frenzy with their American Smooth routine in week nine.
They earned an impressive 35 points, and judge Bruno even said they "looked like a dream".
Kellie and Kevin impressed the judges in week nine with their office-themed quickstep routine, pushing them to the top of the leader board.
They smashed the scores and received 37 points and even pleased perfectionist judge Craig, who said he "loved it".
Brook, 30, is the IBF welterweight champion and is moving up two weight divisions to take on the Kazakh boxer.
"I'm going to bring the speed up to the middleweight division," Brook said.
"I'm going to bring big power as well. I'm ready for this fight. To be the best you've got to beat the best - it doesn't get any bigger than GGG."
Find out how to get into boxing with our special guide.
Brook says the bout in London will be "the biggest fight in world boxing" and that he has been "training like a wild horse".
The Briton is unbeaten in 36 fights, while undisputed world middleweight champion Golovkin, 34, has won all 35 of his professional bouts.
"I'm going to be so alive for that night," Brook said.
"No-one has ever got the best out of me. I want to test myself. I know we are going to see the best in me. I'm excited to see what I can do."
He added: "I'm the best welterweight on the planet and no-one seems to want to fight me. GGG is the same in the middleweight division."
After a poor opening day 75, McDowell has rediscovered some good form with back-to-back rounds of six under par.
He fired five birdies in a row on Saturday to finish the day on eight under for the tournament, 10 shots behind leader Gary Woodland of America.
Waterford's Seamus Power is in fourth place on 15 under after a round of 64.
Defending champion McDowell just made the cut on two under on Friday after a much-improved second round in Playa del Carmen.
Starting on the 10th tee on Saturday, he birdied two of his opening six holes but dropped his only shot of the day on the par-four 16th.
A flurry of birdies on his back nine helped him move up the leaderboard to eight under and into a tie for 32nd place.
McDowell has had five top-10 finishes in 2016 but some poor results this year has seen him fall to 81 in the world rankings.
It was a small increase on the previous year, though the long term trend is down.
The biggest emitters were agriculture, transport and the energy sector.
A range of emissions are measured including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and a range of fluorinated gases.
Northern Ireland emissions accounted for just over four percent of the UK total.
Methane from livestock accounted for the bulk of agricultural emissions.
In the transport and energy sectors it was mostly comprised of carbon dioxide.
Increased use of gas instead of coal in energy production and methane capture in landfills have helped cut the overall levels of greenhouse gas emissions.
They are down more than 17% on base years in the early and mid-90s when recordings were taken for comparative purposes.
The only sectors showing an increase from the base years are transport and land use change.
That is due to increased use of vehicles and the conversion of land for building.
Northern Ireland is the only region of the UK without its own climate change legislation.
The then DUP Agriculture & Environment Minister Michelle McIlveen ruled it out again last December, saying existing UK laws were sufficient.
Valentin Stocker opened the scoring for Hertha six minutes after the break.
Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a penalty saved for the hosts, but then converted Ousmane Dembele's cutback 10 minutes from time to earn a point.
Emre Mor was sent off for Dortmund after a push on Sebastian Langkamp, with goalscorer Stocker also dismissed.
The Swiss forward was sent off for a dangerous tackle in the final seconds.
The draw was a club-record 25th successive unbeaten home game for Dortmund, but the second game in a row they have failed to win after defeat by Bayer Leverkusen last time out.
Thomas Tuchel's side are third behind Hertha and leaders Bayern Munich, who play Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
The official launch will take place later, seven years after the publication of the Saville Inquiry into Bloody Sunday.
It found that 14 civil rights marchers and bystanders had been killed without justification by the Army in Derry.
Rev Jackson said the museum provided a frame of reference for The Troubles.
"There is a healing process but there is hope emerging," he said.
"I am very optimistic about the future here. It is important not to look backwards with fear but forwards with hope."
A number of exhibitions in the museum tell the people's story of the civil rights movement, the Battle of the Bogside, internment, Free Derry and Bloody Sunday.
The artwork on the front wall of the museum was created by local artist Locky Morris and is entitled We Shall Overcome.
It uses the actual sound waveform of the moment on Bloody Sunday when the crowd sang the civil rights anthem.
Those 21 seconds have been cut into the fabric of the building and are intended to be seen as a "paean to community resistance amidst deadly force".
Bloody Sunday Trust Chairperson Robin Percival said: "We are all thrilled to officially open the new Museum of Free Derry after a hugely successful first few months in our flagship building.
"While it has been a long and hard road, we are proud to be back in the heart of the Bogside, where so much of our story happened."
Terence Brannigan, who is the Tourism NI Chairman, said that the museum further strengthens the visitor offering in the North West.
"It is an attraction worthy of domestic, national and international appeal," he said.
"The ever-increasing visitor numbers are testament to the Museum of Free Derry's enhanced facilities and focus on the ever popular local heritage special interest groups."
The museum opened to the public in February 2017.
One report documented by an NGO concerns a woman whose genitals were lacerated using a bladed weapon during another assault.
On the internet, you can even see mobile phone footage of women in the square during demonstrations suddenly being surrounded by dozens of men, and carried away as they are groped and assaulted.
"People who pretended to help were actually harassing me more," says Shorouk al Attar, who was seriously assaulted with her sister close to the square during a protest last year.
"Everyone was holding me, pretending to take me out of the crowd but actually they were harassing me," Shorouk told us.
"It was hard to differentiate between who was helping and who was harassing. I heard some people laughing."
Shorouk says that after the attack she became scared to go outside.
"I spent three or four days alone at home," she said. "I couldn't stop thinking about it and crying. I kept asking myself 'why did this happen to me?'"
A shocking number of women are asking the same question. In a single day in January, 22 serious sexual assaults were reported in Tahrir Square.
There have been protests in Cairo calling for the attacks to stop. But it is an indication of how bad things are, and how some resent even the raising of the issue, that some people attending those demonstrations have themselves been attacked.
So who is carrying out the sexual assaults in Tahrir Square?
"If you are here and you see a girl dressed in an indecent way, what are you going to do? You can't help it."
So said one of a group of young Egyptian men, hanging around close to the square, when we asked about the increase in sexual assaults against women there.
"We are depressed, we can't find jobs and money, what do you expect?" says another of the youths, who was unsurprisingly reluctant to give his name.
Over recent years, Egyptian women have become used to sexual harassment, particularly in large crowds. Eid holidays in downtown Cairo had become particularly hazardous.
Now, it appears, protest gatherings in Tahrir Square, the home of the country's revolution, have become the big draw for young Egyptian men and boys wanting to leer, harass and now to even carry out assaults.
The young men we spoke to admitted they went to the square to look at women, and though they did not admit to being involved in serious assaults, their manner suggested they saw no problem in harassing women.
They even found the issue of rape something of a joke.
"If women don't want it, they shouldn't wear tight clothes and they shouldn't come here," one laughed.
But is the recent increase in frequency in assaults more than just a social problem that has spiralled well out of control? Is there something even more sinister at play?
Some victims think so, including Shorouk al Attar, who was attacked as she attended a demonstration against President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood.
"There's the theory that if you want to break a society you start with women because if you do this men will become afraid," she says. "I think it's organised. It's not by chance, like most people think."
The argument that the Muslim Brotherhood has organised the attacks to deter women from attending protests is one espoused by some other activists and women's support groups.
"Why else are the attacks concentrated where the demonstrations take place?" says Nevine Ebeid, from the New Woman Foundation, a group that documents attacks against women.
She does though acknowledge that solid proof is hard to come by, and that most of the evidence through testimony is circumstantial.
While the problem of sexual assaults in public gatherings began well before the revolution, Ms Ebeid feels that the political and social climate that has come with the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood has made things worse.
"Political Islam has meant there is a discourse opposed to women's rights," she says.
"It does not believe that there is equality before the law and helps create a climate that encourages sexual harassment and sexual violence against women in Egypt."
It is a charge that has been strenuously denied by the Muslim Brotherhood.
"We are against any assault, especially sexual assaults," says Essam El Erian, the vice-chairman of the party's political wing. "Our religions, Christianity and Islam, prevent us from such."
Mr El Erian also reacted angrily to the theory the authorities were directly involved in orchestrating the attacks in Tahrir Square to stop people protesting, and instead blamed opposition groups for causing chaos.
"Tahrir Square has been captured by some of the revolutionaries," he says. "They are responsible for any case of sexual assault there."
For the last few months, opposition protestors have occupied Tahrir Square. It is closed to traffic and police have retreated beyond its boundaries.
Vigilante groups have started to operate to try to fill the security void and to protect women, but with limited success.
Even if police were present, respect for - and indeed fear of - the security forces has certainly diminished since the revolution and it is hard to imagine women would be safe from harassment in a large crowd here.
Whether or not the authorities are behind some of the attacks is hard to say, but there is little doubt the issue of sexual assault is not being taken as seriously as it should be; by politicians, security officials and throughout Egyptian society.
Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj's announcement came after a meeting with Pakistan's Foreign Affairs Adviser Sartaj Aziz on the sidelines of a regional meeting in Nepal.
India had accused a Pakistan-based group of carrying out the assault in January.
Seven Indian soldiers and six militants were killed in the attack.
Scheduled diplomatic talks between India and Pakistan were postponed after India accused Pakistan-based group Jaish-e-Mohammad of carrying out the attack.
Pakistan said it arrested several members of the group.
Thursday's meeting between Mrs Swaraj and Mr Aziz was the first high-level talks between the two countries since the attack.
The meeting happened on the sidelines of a summit of foreign ministers and top diplomats from eight South Asian nations in the resort town of Pokhara in Nepal.
The assault on the Pathankot air force base in Punjab, close to the Pakistan border, started on 2 January, when a group of gunmen - wearing Indian army uniforms - entered residential quarters on the air base.
The United Jihad Council - a coalition of more than a dozen militant groups fighting against Indian rule in Kashmir - claimed they carried out the attack.
The claim was met with scepticism - the UJC's core members are not known to have mounted attacks outside Indian-administered Kashmir.
Indian security officials instead blamed Jaish-e-Mohammed, an Islamist militant group based in Pakistan.
Started by Masood Azhar, Jaish-e-Mohammed has been blamed for attacks on Indian soil in the past, including one in 2001 on the Indian parliament which took the nuclear-armed rivals to the brink of war.
St Mary's Church in Melton Mowbray dates mainly from the 13th to 15th Centuries, with parts dating back to about 1170.
Parishioners say the building is "no longer fit for purpose" and "needs more fundamental" renovations to improve the organ, safety and accessibility.
They hope to give the church the "wow factor" when it reopens in late 2017.
The Heart of St Mary's project aims to restore the Malcolm Sargent organ, as well as repairing and renewing the floor of the "architectural gem".
The Rev Kevin Ashby, rector at the church, said: "This is a major project, but if St Mary's is to remain at the heart of the community for centuries to come, then we need to be brave about the renovations that are required and the amount of money we need to raise to fulfil them."
The renovation work will also include upgrading the electrics, improving the lighting and heating and upgrading audio visual and sound systems.
John Craig, chair of the project, said: "The wiring of the organ has deteriorated to such a point that it can't be kept going for much longer.
"We're hoping by the end of October 2017 all the work within the building will have been completed."
The last service at the church will be held on 1 January before the work begins.
Houses and businesses in Mytholmroyd had to be evacuated when the River Calder bursts its banks on 26 December.
Environment secretary Elizabeth Truss made the promise of new defences while visiting the area earlier.
Work could start as early as the summer and a plan for the whole Calder Valley will go to Parliament in October.
Ms Truss told BBC Look North: "Calder Valley was one of the worst affected areas.
"I'm talking to local councillors, MPs and residents about what needs to be done to make sure the Calder Valley is protected in future and I'm committed to doing that.
"We need to look at the whole [area] and what we can do improve the defences in towns like Mytholmroyd and Hebden Bridge."
Thousands of properties were damaged when Storm Eva battered the north of England during December's floods.
A plan for Mytholmroyd, which is still recovering, will be drawn up by May and could include plans to raise walls, said Ms Truss.
A more detailed plan for the area will look at improving defences in Hebden Bridge and at slowing down the flow of water in other parts of the valley.
Craig Whittaker, MP for the Calder Valley, said it was a "two-pronged attack" which would help protect the area from future floods.
"It's a huge step forward. This is the first time any government has decided we will have the plans we need."
She won world titles and Olympic golds when she was supposed to be too small to succeed, overcame serious injuries that cost her championship chances and then came back from childbirth to triumph again - along the way beating women once banned for doping and others who were only retrospectively sanctioned.
In a tainted era, there has been no better sporting role model.
On the track, her triumph at London 2012 was one of the iconic moments of an impossible fortnight. Off it, she managed to come through the attrition of her seven-event sport and the pressures of fame as only a very few could.
Ennis-Hill's life changed forever in the summer of 2012. Her character did not. This was a woman who would give you a lift back to Sheffield station when you had been to interview her at training, who would ask to see photos of your children on your phone when you caught up, who would still greet you with a wave and a hug in the formality of a pre-championships news conference.

Like those other female icons of modern British sport, Paula Radcliffe before her and Laura Trott (now Kenny) after, Ennis-Hill critically had something else underneath that pleasant, normal exterior: a fierce competitiveness and extraordinary determination.
Sporting success was never preordained nor handed over. At the 1999 English Schools championships, aged 13, she finished 10th in the high jump.
Neither was there much glamour in the hard work that took her from minor placings to the top of the world. Training at Sheffield's Don Valley Stadium, the grandstands were always deserted, the wind usually brisk and cold, the only spectators the occasional chap in overalls pushing a lawnmower up and down the infield.
I hate the 800m training sessions - hate them. They're horrible. But you feel so much better afterwards - well, you feel awful, but the sense of achievement is great
At the English Institute of Sport it was warmer but no less punishing. Seven events, seven deadly stints. Little rest, few hints of the big nights to follow in distant stadiums.
"I hate the 800m training sessions - hate them," she once told me. "They're horrible. I moan about them for the whole day leading up to them. But you feel so much better afterwards - well, you feel awful, but the sense of achievement is great."
It encapsulates the attitude that set her apart. It hurt, but it was worth it.
It was difficult, but she stuck at it - switching her long jump take-off foot from right to left after the stress fracture that ruled her out of the 2008 Olympics, which is a little like asking a right-handed golfer to suddenly putt left-handed, and then switching back to the left again seven years later when inconsistency with the new approach was identified as a medal-wrecking risk too far.
She was never alone in all this. Her expert team included physio Ali Rose, masseur Derry Suter, javelin coach Mick Hill, physiologist Steve Ingham and biomechanists Aki Salo and Paul Brice, Ennis-Hill the managing director of an extended pool of departmental heads.
None was as central as coach Toni Minichiello, who first met her when she was brought along by her parents to a summer holiday kids scheme in 1997 and who was with her through all that followed over the subsequent 18 years.

On that first day at Don Valley, the 11-year-old girl won a pair of trainers for her efforts. That she went on to win a great deal more owed so much to their odd-couple relationship, two ships pulling in the same direction but having to cope too with the inevitable tension between them.
It began with Minichiello in charge. It developed into a partnership. There would be arguments, but there was also always humour. And there was always an understanding of exactly what was required to get the best out of an athlete who would never be satisfied with less.
During tough hurdles sessions, Minichiello would motivate his athlete by showing her a colourful spreadsheet of all the times she had run across different sessions, down to the exact splits between each of the hurdles, knowing that if Ennis-Hill was struggling mentally, it would inspire her to run quicker.
When his shouts of encouragement during 800m reps fell short ("It doesn't spur me on, it just makes me angry," Ennis-Hill told me in 2011. "I think, why am I doing this when you're just standing there blowing a whistle?") he would defuse and reignite with gentle mickey-taking. He once pinned up a poster from Athletics Weekly magazine of her drawn as Superwoman, and another time showed her a photo from the finish line of the 800m at the 2011 Worlds of Russian rival Tatyana Chernova towering over her like an adult scolding a child.
Ennis-Hill had won the previous world title in Berlin in 2009 and would win the last she competed in, in Beijing six years later, yet the Daegu crown should arguably have been hers too.
Chernova was later found to have been taking banned steroids. The Russian anti-doping agency retrospectively annulled two years' worth of her results, but conveniently ended that period 16 days before the 2011 Worlds began.
If that episode would have weakened the competitive resolve of many others, Ennis-Hill was not one for excuses. Trying to get heptathlon-fit again after the birth of her son Reggie, she and Minichiello invented a new statistic to measure her sometimes unlikely and often remarkable return: PPPB, or post-pregnancy personal best.
It both took her back to the top of the world in 2015 and then enabled her to cope when, at the Rio Olympics this summer, the future of her event caught up with the present and past.
Belgium's 21-year-old tyro Nafissatou Thiam set personal bests in five of her seven events on the way to winning gold. Faced with the conundrum of trying to beat a woman who keeps beating herself, Ennis-Hill realised that silver represented a triumph all the same, and that now was also the moment to say farewell.
She had nothing more to prove.
There was so much more to her career than London 2012, but those home Olympics both defined her and captured what set her apart: coming out on the first morning under the most intense expectation and producing the fastest 100m hurdles ever seen in a heptathlon; overtaken by Chernova with 250 metres to go in the 800m the following evening, not needing to win the heat to secure gold but fighting back all the same.
It has framed her forever at the heart of 'Super Saturday', the central figure in British athletics' most famous triptych of all.
Seventeen million British television viewers, 80,000 more screaming down Stratford's Olympic stadium, three iconic gold medallists. Mo Farah, the immigrant kid who arrived in west London aged eight to make the capital his home. Greg Rutherford, the middle-class boy whose great-grandfather played football for England over a century ago.
And then, arms outstretched and head thrown back as she crossed the finish line, the girl from Sheffield who won against the odds and won again as a mother.
British sport, and Britain itself, has been lucky to have her.

NB All times are subject to change.
The collapse of retailer BHS will be discussed in a week's time, following a highly critical report by the Business and Pension Committees.
An amendment has now been added to that debate, calling for Sir Philip's honour to be cancelled.
It is believed to be the first time that MPs have ever debated a motion on whether to annul an honour.
The motion has been put forward by Conservative MP Richard Fuller and independent MP Michelle Thomson, and comes less than two months after the final BHS store closed its doors. The vote will be on 20 October.
The task of annulling knighthoods is not in the gift of the House of Commons, but instead rests with an ad hoc committee, known as the Honours Forfeiture Committee, which is chaired by the head of the civil service. The parliamentary motion "calls on the Honours Forfeiture Committee to cancel and annul [Sir Philip Green's knighthood]".
Sir Philip, whose retail empire includes Top Shop, Top Man, Burton and Dorothy Perkins was granted an honour just over a decade ago, in June 2006. It was given "for services to retail", but his reputation as a retailer has been severely damaged over the past year.
Sir Philip has come under relentless scrutiny since selling BHS for £1 to a little-known entrepreneur, Dominic Chappell, in March 2015.
Mr Chappell had barely any experience of working in retail, and had been declared bankrupt at least twice. What followed was a year of decline and collapse, with the chain going into administration a year after its sale, before closing its doors for good a few months later.
The failure of BHS put 11,000 people out of work, and also left behind a pension scheme that had a shortfall of around £570m. Sir Philip says he is in talks about how to close that gap, but he has faced criticism for his stewardship of the company, and his failure to sort out its troubled pension scheme.
"His actions at BHS were of such a nature as to make it faintly ridiculous for him to continue to warrant an award for services to retailing," Mr Fuller told BBC Newsnight. "I'm putting forward this amendment for the simple reason that he warrants losing his knighthood.
"This is about expressing a legitimate sentiment about the way someone has behaved - it's not populist screaming, it's not a deal being done behind closed doors."
The prospect of Sir Philip losing his knighthood was first raised in June by Frank Field, chair of the Pensions Committee. At the time, Sir Philip said it was an attempt "to destroy my reputation".
Sir Philip has a fortune estimated at more than £3bn. During his ownership of BHS, he was paid more than £400m in dividends. Those close to him say his knighthood remains a source of great pride to him and to his family.

The US trade numbers showed the country's deficit jumped sharply to $51.4bn in March, its highest level in more than six years.
Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index closed down 2.3% at 5,692.20.
Shares were also held back by some worrying results from Australia's biggest banks.
Investors are concerned about the country's big four banks facing slower growth.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), one of the country's biggest, reported flat profits of some 2.2bn Australian dollars ($1.74bn; £1.15bn) for the three months to March, compared with a year earlier.
The lender said the result was due to higher regulatory costs, but it follows disappointing half-year figures from rival Westpac.
Earlier in the week, ANZ reported better-than-expected half-year results, which analysts described as a "welcome relief".
National Australia Bank (NAB), Westpac, ANZ and CBA make up the so-called big four lenders in Australia. NAB is due to release its half-year results on Thursday.
Also weighing on the Australian index were poor results from the country's biggest supermarket Woolworths, with shares in the retailer down as much as 5%.
Woolworths said its sales for the third quarter fell 2.1% to 15bn Australian dollars ($11.9bn; £7.85bn) partly due to falling petrol sales.
It also announced a further 400 job cuts in response to the weak sales results.
Australia's retail sales for March also disappointed investors, coming in below forecasts at 0.3% from a month earlier.
Chinese shares continued to fall after Tuesday's heavy declines.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index closed down 0.4% at 27,640.91, while the Shanghai Composite fell 1.6% to 4,229.27.
Investors shrugged off a private survey of China's services sector, which indicated it had grown in April at its fastest pace this year.
The HSBC/Markit services purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to a four-month high of 52.9 in April from 52.3 in March - well above the 50-point level that separates expansion from a contraction in the sector.
Elsewhere, South Korea's benchmark Kospi index closed down 1.30% at 2,104.58, following the US trend.
Japanese markets are shut for the Golden Week holiday. They will reopen on Thursday.
Two vehicles crashed on the B4421 between Newborough and Llangaffo on Anglesey on Sunday just after 20:00 GMT, North Wales Police said.

David Burdett, from Gorleston, Norfolk, started taking lessons after being inspired by Strictly Come Dancing and the film Billy Elliot.
"I felt like I needed to do something. It's hard, but fun. I'm going to keep going forward and see where it takes me," he said.
Eighteen months on, he is due to star at Gorleston Pavilion Theatre. BBC Look East's Mike Liggins reports.
The UK public inquiry is on hold after a last-minute offer by Dmitry Kovtun to give evidence via video link.
He, along with Andrei Lugovoi, is accused of poisoning Mr Litvinenko, who died in London on 23 November 2006.
Mr Kovtun, who was named as a suspect in 2007, said he had "material" which would throw doubt on the case.
Mr Litvinenko is believed to have been given a fatal dose of polonium-210 in his tea during a meeting in a London hotel.
He was an officer with the Federal Security Service - the successor to the KGB - but fled to Britain where he became a UK citizen and fierce Kremlin critic.
Inquiry chairman Sir Robert Owen and senior lawyers have expressed concern about what lies behind Mr Kovtun's last-minute decision to testify.
Until now neither suspect has given evidence to the inquiry.
Lawyers were due to make closing statements but that has been postponed to allow Mr Kovtun - a former Russian military officer - to give evidence via videolink from Moscow.
If he came to Britain, he would be arrested and officially charged with murder.
He told the BBC he had "heard a lot of statements which are easy to refute" and by participating could "get access to the documents - including the secret material - so I can make my own conclusions".
The couple, who never married, spent 13 years together and have a son aged 11 and a daughter who is seven.
They first met when Burton, 56, directed Carter, 48, in 2001's Planet of the Apes.
A representative for Bonham Carter told People Magazine that they "separated amicably earlier this year and have continued to be friends and co-parent their children."
"We would ask that you respect their privacy and that of their children during this time."
Since working together on Planet of the Apes, the couple have teamed up on several blockbusters, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows.
They were pictured together earlier this week at Cats the Musical at London Palladium.
For years the film director and actress lived in separate homes right next door to each other, something Carter said worked well for them.
"It really is a great idea," she told The Guardian in 2010. "You never have to compromise emotionally or feel invaded."
Still, she added: "He always visits, which is really touching. He's always coming over."

Artists spoke out against white supremacy and urged suicide awareness during the awards on Sunday night.
Transgender military personnel attended, days after President Donald Trump signed a directive to ban them.
Kendrick Lamar was the night's big winner, picking up six awards including video of the year for HUMBLE.
The video, directed by Dave Meyers, takes a wry look at the rapper's growing fame and sees him dressing up as a pope and taking part in a Last Supper.
Ed Sheeran was named Artist of the Year and Fifth Harmony got the Best Pop Video award for Down.
Taylor Swift was a no-show - perhaps wise given her history with awards host Katy Perry - but won best collaboration for her track with Zayn, I Don't Wanna Live Forever.
And she debuted the video for Look What You Made Me Do during the awards.
But it was politics that has grabbed most of the night's headlines.
There was an appearance from the mother of Heather Heyer, killed during a protest against a far-right march in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Susan Bro handed out the Fight Against the System Award, 15 days after Ms Heyer's death.
Paying tribute to her daughter, she said: "I miss her, but I know she's here tonight."
All six nominees for the award shared the prize. Somali nominee K'naan, whose cover of a Hamilton track paid tribute to the work of immigrants, wore a mock Make America Great Again slogan written in Arabic.
Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, also spoke out against the violence in Charlottesville, calling out "Nazi white supremacist jerks".

They said the unrest in the province of Qatif late on Monday had been incited by "a foreign country", without elaborating.
Saudi Arabia's minority Shia population is concentrated in the east, the scene of protests earlier this year.
State media said eight of those wounded were security personnel and three were civilians.
State news agency SPA quoted the interior ministry as saying that "a group of outlaws and rioters on motorbikes" had gathered in al-Awamia village near the city of Qatif, "carrying petrol bombs".
The group was responsible for acts leading to "insecurity with incitement from a foreign country that aims to undermine the nation's security and stability", SPA reported.
Saudi mentions of foreign meddling are normally veiled references to Iran, the region's main Shia power, observers say.
In March, Saudi police opened fire to disperse protesters in Qatif, a day before planned countrywide anti-government protests.
The protesters, from the Shia minority, were demanding the release of prisoners they said had been held without charge.
Protests are illegal in Saudi Arabia, which has had an absolute monarchy since its unification in the 1930s.
Rights groups have accused the police of beating protesters during previous rallies in Qatif.
Shias make up about 10% of the population in Sunni-dominated Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has not seen protests on the same scale as other nations in the Middle East and North Africa during the so-called Arab Spring.
Toure, 33, was the subject of interest from the Chinese Super League last summer.
He decided against moving then and gave the same response when he was contacted again to say the offer remained open during the current transfer window, which closes on 31 January.
The Ivorian's contract at the Etihad expires in the summer.
Toure's future appeared in doubt when he was left out of the City squad by Pep Guardiola at the start of the season.
However, he has been a regular for the club since he was recalled in November and started his seventh consecutive game in the 4-0 defeat at Everton in the Premier League on 15 January.
Toure has been free to sign pre-contract agreements with clubs overseas since 1 January but it is understood he still enjoys the English game.
Guardiola has not given Toure any guarantees about his future beyond the summer.
The Ivorian, who joined City in 2010, has become more important since Germany midfielder Ilkay Gundogan suffered a cruciate ligament injury against Watford on 14 December that is likely to rule him out for the rest of the season.
Midfielders Oscar and John Mikel Obi left Chelsea to move to China earlier this month, while former Manchester United and Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez reportedly became the world's highest-paid player when he joined Shanghai Shenhua.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa, the Premier League's joint-top scorer with 14 goals, had been linked with a move to Tianjin Quanjian, who recently signed Belgium midfielder Axel Witsel for a salary of more than £15m a year. But the club ended their interest after the Chinese Super League reduced the number of foreign footballers allowed to play.
New rules stipulate that Chinese clubs will be able to field a maximum of three foreign players per game when the new season starts in March.
Known as the Dream Chaser, the winged vehicle will launch atop an Atlas V from Florida's Kennedy Space Centre.
Though smaller than Nasa's famous orbiters, the Dream Chaser has still been designed to carry up to seven astronauts into low-Earth orbit.
The maiden voyage, however, will be an unmanned, autonomous flight.
The re-usable "lifting body" will spend about a day in orbit before returning to a landing strip on the US West Coast.
If all goes well, SNC hopes to mount its first manned mission in 2017.
And, ultimately, the Dream Chaser will land back at Kennedy on the same runway as used by the shuttles, and be serviced in Kennedy's processing facilities.
The date for the demonstration flight was announced in a joint media conference that included representatives from SNC, the US space agency (Nasa), and United Launch Alliance (ULA), which operates the Atlas rocket.
The 9m-long Dream Chaser is one of the three commercial human transportation systems currently being developed with the financial and technical support of Nasa.
The other two are more traditional capsule designs known as CST-100 and Dragon, from the Boeing and SpaceX companies respectively.
Nasa is likely to concentrate its resources on two, perhaps even only one, of these systems from late this year as it seeks to restore America's capability to launch its own astronauts into space. This capability was lost when the shuttles were retired in 2011 and sent to museums.
Today, all US personnel travel to the International Space Station in Russian Soyuz capsules, with each seat costing US taxpayers about $60m.
The three American companies say their indigenous vehicles will be much cheaper to operate.
SNC is insistent that development of the Dream Chaser will continue even if it misses out on Nasa's next round of seed funding.
"We are building the vehicle to be launched, and we have made a commitment to the launch," said SNC's Mark Sirangelo.
"[This first launch] is a direct relationship between Sierra Nevada and ULA, and Sierra Nevada is paying for the efforts of this; it's unconnected to the Nasa programme - the purchase of the launch was something done from company to company."
Two weeks ago, SNC announced tie-ups with the European and German space agencies that may lead to certain components and materials on future vehicles being sourced from across the Atlantic.

Enrique Marquez, 25, will admit that he lied to officials when he purchased the guns by claiming that they were for him rather than for a third party.
He will also admit to plotting a separate attack with one of the suspects who was his childhood friend.
Prosecutors say he could face 25 years in jail in exchange for the plea deal.
He is scheduled to enter his pleas before a judge on Thursday in Los Angeles.
US-born Syed Rizwan Farook and his Pakistani-born wife, Tashfeen Malik were both killed by police after murdering 14 of Farook's colleagues during a holiday party at the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center where he worked.
Police say the couple, who were married in Saudi Arabia in 2014, were inspired by Islamic extremism.
Officials say that Marquez provided the weapons, because Farook's Middle Eastern appearance would arouse suspicions.
The shooting rampage was one of the deadliest attacks on US soil since 11 September 2001.
Prosecutors acknowledge that Marquez did not have advance knowledge of the married couple's plot, but said his earlier co-plotting had helped to inspire the rampage.

"This defendant collaborated with and purchased weapons for a man who carried out the devastating December 2, 2015 terrorist attack that took the lives of 14 innocent people, wounded nearly two dozen, and impacted our entire nation," US Attorney Eileen Decker said in a written statement announcing the plea deal.
As part of the agreement reached with prosecutors, Marquez will confess to conspiring with Farook in 2011 and 2012 to attack a community college which they had attended.
They had also discussed committing an attack on commuters stuck in traffic on a southern California motorway.
"While his earlier plans to attack a school and a freeway were not executed, the planning clearly laid the foundation for the 2015 attack on the Inland Regional Center,'" Mrs Decker said.
As part of the agreement, the government is expected to dismiss immigration-fraud charges stemming from a sham marriage to a relative of Farook's sister-in-law.
Marqez and Farook first became friends in 2005 when the Marqez family moved next door to Farook's in Riverside, California, about 55mi (85km) east of LA.
Clark has not recovered from an ankle injury and is ruled out of England action for a third time in 12 months.
Slater suffered a recurrence of a tricep injury during his side's Premiership final win against Northampton on Saturday.
Sale's Wasps-bound lock Kearnan Myall has been added to the squad.
Clark was ruled out of England's 2012 summer tour of South Africa and the autumn internationals that followed after receiving a record 32-week ban for breaking the arm of Leicester of hooker Rob Hawkins.
He was recalled for the Six Nations only to suffer a shoulder injury in January that sidelined him for the whole tournament.
England will now be taking a squad of 31 players for Sunday's tour match in Montevideo and the two Tests against the Pumas in Salta on 8 June and Buenos Aires on 15 June.
Head coach Stuart Lancaster said: "It's unfortunate for both Calum and Ed that they won't be able to join up with England this summer but I'm sure they will be back and pushing for places next season.
"Calum has been unlucky with the injuries. I had a good chat with him yesterday - he came in and we assessed his ankle and it clearly was not going to be right until beyond the first Test and as a consequence it would take him out of contention.
"Kearnan did well in a good team performance against the Barbarians and now has a great chance to continue his progress with us on tour.
"It means we travel with one player less than originally selected, but we have lots of options in the second row and back row to cover for that."
The Gunners looked to have been handed a favourable draw but a display that plumbed the depths of incompetence and naivety leaves them facing a last-16 exit once more.
Monaco, resilient at the back and capable of punishing Arsenal's shoddy defence, took the lead in the first half through Geoffrey Kondogbia's deflected shot.
To add insult to injury, former Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov added the second just after the break. There was even time for Arsenal to cast away the lifeline substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's stoppage-time goal had given them as they were caught hopelessly on the counter once more as Yannick Ferreira Carrasco added a third goal.
As Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim did a Jose Mourinho-style celebration sprint down the touchline, Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger looked crestfallen and no wonder.
This stage has become Arsenal's perennial stumbling block but Wenger would have had high hopes of clearing the hurdle against his former club, even though they had lost only once in their last 17 games.
But Arsenal were devoid of ideas and when they did create chances they fell to the hapless, and on this night hopeless, Olivier Giroud, who missed every one that came his way.
The eternal optimist Wenger will still believe they can escape from this hazardous position - but they will need to produce something on a different level from this dreadful performance to complete the salvage job.
After a bright opening in which Danny Welbeck threatened and Arsenal had a penalty claim ignored when Wallace appeared to handle, Monaco kept the Gunners at bay in relative comfort.
As Arsenal's frustration grew, Monaco felt confident enough to move forward with increased ambition and the away goal they would have craved came seven minutes before the break.
Welbeck conceded possession and as Joao Moutinho moved forward he found the impressive Kondogbia, whose 25-yard shot took a decisive deflection off Per Mertesacker to leave keeper David Ospina helpless.
Giroud had been presented with Arsenal's best opportunities but time and again the striker failed to hit the target. In the first half he scooped Hector Bellerin's cross over then he turned Alexis Sanchez's cross wide from six yards.
And how Arsenal paid the price for his profligacy and their own defensive naivety as Monaco doubled their lead after 53 minutes. From their own attack, Mertesacker in particular deserted his defensive post leaving Anthony Martial free to set up the unmarked Berbatov, who steadied himself before thumping a finish high past Ospina.
Giroud's night got worse when he somehow tapped a simple finish over the top after keeper Danijel Subasic fumbled Sanchez's shot - and with the fury of Arsenal's fans ringing in his ears, it was a merciful release when he was replaced by Theo Walcott on the hour.
As Emirates Stadium emptied, Oxlade-Chamberlain, on for Francis Coquelin, curled in a goal from 20 yards that at least offered Arsenal some sort of hope for the second leg.
It was typical of how poor they were, however, that they somehow found themselves caught upfield once more to allow the speedy Ferreira-Carrasco to race clear and beat Ospina for what could be the decisive blow.

The claim was made by a lawyer for Friends of the Earth who have taken a case to court.
The group wants an immediate end to sand dredging on the lough which is an important bird sanctuary with international protection.
It is appealing the decision of an earlier court not to order this.
Around 1.5m tonnes of sand a year are dredged from the bed of the lough by sand companies.
'Unlawful'
They do not have planning permission and the operation is unlawful. In 2015, the then environment minister, Mark H Durkan, issued an enforcement notice requiring work to stop within 24 hours.
But the sand companies appealed to the planning appeals commission.
Dredging is continuing pending the outcome of that appeal.
A lawyer for Friends of the Earth said Mr Durkan had not taken proper account of his officials' report which cited significant environmental impact if dredging were to continue.
The lawyer said enforcement had to be effective to comply with the protections afforded under EU law.
In this case, dredging had continued for two years after an attempt had been made to stop it.
"This is a case where you can't fill up the hole. Every time a scoop is taken it ends up in someone's patio in Enniskillen, or Liverpool.
"You can't put it back," the lawyer said.
He said the minister did not have the discretion to balance jobs in unauthorised sand extraction against potential damage to a protected area. He called on the court to stop the dredging "belatedly" as it made "a mockery of the system here".
Later, counsel for the department said a stop notice was an option open to the minister but not the only one.
He had decided to issue an enforcement notice and retained the power to intervene to cease dredging at a later stage if necessary.
The appeal court judges asked for evidence that Mr Durkan had factored in the potential environmental impact of the extraction in his decision to issue an enforcement notice rather than a stop notice.
The lawyer said Mr Durkan had made a measured analysis of all the issues in the case.
A lawyer for the sand traders said there was no "ongoing evidence of harm" caused by dredging.
He said they had now put in a planning application to cover future operations.
He said they rejected any suggestion that they were attempting to delay resolution of the issues nor were they "trying to get away with something".
The three appeal court judges have reserved their judgement.
She became the first British woman to win an individual European title since 1927 when she took 10m gold in 2014.
Barrow won Commonwealth silver in 2014 in the 10m synchro with Tonia Couch, but failed to make the 10m platform semi-finals at the Rio Olympics.
"Diving has had a huge impact on my life and I am so glad I have been able to finish how I wanted," she said.
Barrow's fourth-place finish in the 10m final at the World Championships in Barcelona in 2013 was the best performance by a British woman in the event's history.
"As for the future, I'm looking forward to finding something I'm just as passionate about," she added.
Barrow also won the European 10m synchro title with fellow Plymouth diver Couch in 2012.
Tucker was named as the club's new boss when Mike Lewis stepped down following eight successive defeats, which left them bottom of National Two South.
He spent 13 years at the club and in 1999 scored for Cornwall at Twickenham.
"I was immensely proud to be a player, incredibly proud to be a captain, but right now this is even greater than that," Tucker told BBC Radio Cornwall.
He is the third man to take charge of Launceston since the end of last season following the resignation of Neil Bayliss in June after budget cuts.
"I've still got a burning desire and passion for Launceston to go places," added Tucker.
"The challenge fighting our way out of it is massive. But the bigger the challenge, the more it gives you something to get stuck into."
Tucker was part of the Launceston side which won promotion to National Two back in 2002, and he hopes he can instil some of that spirit into the current Cornish All Blacks side.
"I was fortunate to be part of a team that was pretty successful for a decade and our success was down to a number of things - motivation, team spirit, pride and passion.
"I think there's a decent team spirit there now, there's a decent level of pride, but it's for me to instil more of those qualities to the guys and get them to fight for it."
The five-year-old is receiving post-operative radiotherapy at the Proton Therapy Centre (PTC) in Prague.
Doctors treating the British boy, whose parents were briefly detained after taking him out of the country for specialised cancer treatment, said his first day of therapy went according to plan.
It was the first of 30 sessions.
He will be treated at the private clinic every day for the next six weeks.
He had previously undergone tests at the clinic, over the past week, since arriving from Spain.
Ashya's parents Brett and Naghemeh King, from Southsea, sparked a police hunt when they removed him from Southampton General Hospital on 28 August after disagreeing with doctors.
They wanted him to have proton beam therapy, which was not available to them on the NHS.
They were arrested in Spain and spent several days away from their son, reuniting once the Crown Prosecution Service withdrew the European arrest warrant.
The family was flown by private jet to Prague ahead of Ashya's treatment at the PTC.
The clinic said Ashya's first day of treatment went well with no surprises.
He was placed in a special plastic mould to keep him still, given a general anaesthetic and then his brain and spine were irradiated with protons.
A spokeswoman for the clinic told the BBC Ashya's spirits appeared to be lifting by the day.
She added he was smiling more than during his initial consultation last week.
The treatment is a type of radiation therapy that uses beams of protons - or small parts of atoms - rather than high energy X-rays, as with conventional radiotherapy.
The protons can be precisely directed at a tumour and, unlike conventional treatments, the beams stop once they hit the target, rather than carrying on through the body.
Ashya's attending doctor, radiation oncologist Dr Barbora Ondrova, said: "There is a 70 to 80% survival rate for the condition such as Ashya has and there is now every reason to hope that he will make a full recovery."
The first 13 sessions will focus on the brain and spine, to ensure the tumour he previously had removed at Southampton General Hospital has not spread, and the remaining 17 will aim at irradiating where the brain tumour once was.
Doctors in England are to strike for 24 hours from 08:00 GMT on Tuesday.
They object to proposals including new weekend pay rates and changes they say could lead to doctors being overworked.
Scotland and Wales are sticking to their existing contracts, but no final decision has been made in Northern Ireland.
The dispute between junior doctors and the government has escalated since the summer after ministers said they would impose the new contract in England.
The British Medical Association (BMA) responded by calling a series of strikes.
Last November, Stormont's Health minister Simon Hamilton said he has sympathy with the Westminster government's desire to create a seven-day NHS but said imposing a contract would be "the worst possible outcome".
However, junior doctors in Northern Ireland have called on him to come off the fence and explicitly rule out the contract.
Dr Michael Moran said many local junior doctors were already actively seeking work elsewhere as they fear the new contract will eventually be imposed in Northern Ireland.
"We're really, really concerned about what's happening in England, both from their point of view and also because we feel that we're going to be next," he said.
"Pay is tied up in the bigger picture here, but what we're worried about is extending our normal working hours, making a smaller group of doctors work harder for the same money," he added.

Despite qualifying in 1999, Sandra McAllister is still regarded as a junior doctor.
Currently a registrar in plastic surgery at the Ulster Hospital, Dr McAllister said imposing the proposed contract would be would be like turning the clock back.
"Back then, the government was prepared to let me work 117 hours a week while caring for extremely ill patients.
"I was so tired working continuous nights, it was not good for me and it was not good for anyone.
"As an older doctor, I simply can't stand back and let that happen."
While Dr McAllister accepts progress has been made in the most recent negotiations, terms and conditions around unsociable and excessive working have not yet been clarified.
"We have not been given sufficient reassurance that this contract provides a robust mechanism for monitoring hours worked and preventing us from working excessive hours," she said.
"That protection needs to be put in place."
"We're not really sure yet what's happening with the pay but we're more concerned about removal of safeguards, which makes for a tired workforce who are de-motivated.
"People may leave Northern Ireland and then the patients here are really going to be in trouble."
Ahead of the strike in England, Prime Minster David Cameron urged junior doctors to call off their planned protest, saying the walk-out was "not necessary" and would damage patient services.
Emergency care in England will be staffed during the strike but an estimated 4,000 scheduled operations and procedures will be cancelled.
Players and staff from both sides clashed on the touchline early in the lunchtime kick-off at Carrow Road.
Both clubs have until 18:00 BST on 21 April to respond to the charge, the FA said in a statement.
Sunderland won the game 3-0 to boost their relegation survival hopes.
They remain 18th in the division but are now just a point behind the Canaries with a game in hand.
Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce was heavily involved in Saturday's incident, which came after Norwich winger Robbie Brady's challenge sent Sunderland defender DeAndre Yedlin head first into the advertising hoardings.
After the match, Allardyce said: "I got a bit carried away, but the Norwich players were encroaching my box - I was always going to protect my players and my mob."
The government named four pilot areas last year, but local councils have admitted that they have not yet started work on their broadband projects.
Freedom of information requests were sent to councils in each area.
The responses revealed that none had received any money from the Treasury, chosen a company to build their networks, or started work on them.
In October last year George Osborne named Cumbria, Herefordshire, North Yorkshire and the Highlands and Islands, as pilot areas for rural superfast broadband networks.
The Countryside Alliance says that unless the whole process is simplified, the digital divide will keep growing and the money pledged will be all but worthless.
A government spokesman said all four pilot projects were making good progress, and ministers remained confident that Britain would have Europe's best broadband network by 2015.
"It has been over a year since these pilots were set up and the people who live in areas with no or unreliable broadband coverage haven't seen any improvement," said Alice Barnard, chief executive of the Countryside Alliance.
"Unless more is done to simplify the process of acquiring and implementing rural broadband projects, the digital divide will continue to grow and the money pledged by the Coalition will remain all but worthless.
In response a spokesman for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said: "The money for these projects has been allocated and will be provided to the local authorities when they begin spending on the projects. This is standard practice in provision of capital grants."
It is widely acknowledged that fast broadband services are crucial to consumers and businesses to allow them to take full advantage of web content. While rollouts in urban areas develop apace, efforts to get equivalent services in more remote areas have been far more sluggish.
Companies such as BT, Fujitsu and Cable & Wireless have put in bids to build networks in various areas and each council must decide which to choose.
Malcolm Corbett, head of the Independent Networks Co-operative Association (Inca) is not sure that councils are up to the task.
"The government has put the job into the hands of councillors who have never done it before," he said.
Many of those bidding to build networks want to use BT's infrastructure rather than build from scratch. BT has agreed to share access to its telegraph poles and underground ducts and recently cut the cost of renting such equipment.
But, according to Mr Corbett, it is has also placed some significant restrictions on how it is used.
In response, a BT spokesman said: "Those communications providers who have taken an active role in the in development of our duct and pole-sharing products are making strong progress and appear to be comfortable with the products."
The process of bidding is proving costly to both councils and firms bidding to build networks.
In its FOI response Hereford revealed that, so far, it has spent £50,000 on the procurement process while Fujitsu said that it had spent many hundreds of thousands of pounds bidding in different areas.
The Japanese electronics giant revealed to the BBC earlier this month that it had withdrawn entirely from the bidding in the Highlands and Islands because "the sums did not stack up".
Cable and Wireless withdrew from bidding in Cumbria, citing concerns with the process.
And Geo UK, one of the smaller firms involved, has now withdrawn completely from bidding.
The government has set a deadline to be the best for broadband in Europe by 2015 but no-one thinks this is achievable," said Mr Corbett.
A spokesman for DCMS said he "remained confident" that the target would be reached.
Most of these women were forced into prostitution in the Indian cities of Mumbai and Pune.
Around 48 women and a child were rescued by an Indian non-governmental organisation which handed them over to Bangladeshi authorities at the weekend.
It was one of the largest groups of Bangladeshi women ever to be returned.
The women said they were tricked into being taken across the border.
"A girl in the village gave us something to eat and said we could go for a picnic to neighbouring India. Later on we realised we were drugged. We crossed the border by walking through paddy fields in the night," Monica, 22, told the BBC.
"When we came to our senses, we realised that we had been sold to an Indian agent."
After spending a few days in Calcutta, Monica and other girls were taken to Pune.
"We were kept in small rooms. There were hundreds of girls in the shanty town. We were forced into the sex trade," Monica, from a remote village in southern Bangladesh, said.
"I was shocked but we had no choice as were constantly threatened by local agents."
While there are no official figures on such trafficking, activists say thousands of young Bangladeshi girls and boys are smuggled to India and the Gulf countries every year.
They say that the traffickers cunningly exploit Bangladesh's border with India, which is more than 4,000km (2,400 miles) long.
Some were lured with promises of lucrative jobs but later ended up in brothels in Indian cities.
"We were compelled to work from eight in the morning until midnight. There were hundreds of girls like me in the brothel in Pune," said Runa, another woman who had been rescued from India.
"The ordeal continued for weeks and there was no chance to escape from the place. I am happy to be back in my own country."
But many problems may still lie ahead.
"Although these women have been brought home, an uncertain future awaits them. Due to the social stigma many of them may not be able to return to a normal life," Bangladesh National Women's Lawyers' Association Salma Ali told the BBC.
She pointed out that the latest incident had once again highlighted how young women continue to be trafficked despite Delhi and Dhaka enacting various laws to curb the problem.
"We want the authorities from both sides to tighten the international border and increase security so that girls like me won't face this fate," Runa said.
Thieves broke into Handbag Heaven in Howe Street at about 02:15 on Friday and stole 85 bags, worth between £20,000 and £30,000.
Police said officers arrived at the scene within a minute but the thieves, understood to be three men, had already left the scene.
They drove off in a small silver-coloured vehicle. Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
Frazier Glenn Miller Jr, 74, targeted Jewish sites on last year's Passover holiday, but his victims were not Jewish.
"Frankly my dears, I don't give a damn," Miller told the jury on Tuesday while raising his arm in a Nazi salute.
A judge will now determine whether to follow the jury's sentencing for Miller, who was convicted last week.
Miller, also known as Frazier Glenn Cross, represented himself during the trial. He admitted to killing William Corporon, 69 and his grandson Reat Griffin Underwood, 14, outside of the Jewish Community Centre in Overland Park, Kansas and Terri LaManno, 53, outside of a Jewish retirement centre.
Miller told the jurors he "knew" they were going to put him on death row, and he did not care what sentence he would receive.
Although he admitted to the April 2014 killings, Miller pleaded not guilty at trial.
Miller, who suffers from chronic emphysema, said he was motivated to kill Jews before he died because he believes they have too much power.
Before the shooting, Miller founded several white supremacist groups and later ran twice for elected office on a white power platform.
His son said during the trial he does not know where his father learned to hate Jews and other races.
Jack Carr was inseparable from his toy owl Cuckoo, who eats dinner, sleeps in a special bed next to him and goes on holiday with the family.
But he was left heartbroken after it was snatched by a seagull close to the family home in Beaumaris.
In a heart-warming tale, the pair are set to be reunited after a social media appeal sparked a search for Cuckoo.
Jack's mum Nancy Carr said he was "made up" Cuckoo - who has been his favourite toy since he was two - had been found in a garden after being stolen by the gull.
"He loves his Cuckoo", she said, "he carries him everywhere."
The family were in the Beaumaris Castle playground when Jack threw Cuckoo up in the air during a game - in that moment a seagull swooped and snatched the toy up and vanished with him.
"Next thing he was crying, we tried to see where it had gone, we went everywhere", she said.
Ms Carr bought a replacement Cuckoo for Jack when the toy was stolen on Saturday 1 July, and following the appeal on Twitter and Facebook was bought another by a kind-hearted stranger.
But Jack and his favourite toy will be reunited on Wednesday, when he will meet the lady who found Cuckoo in her garden after seeing the missing appeal on social media.
"There are such nice people out there. You do not realise how much it affects you until something like this happens," Ms Carr said.
"We have been to Germany and everywhere with Cuckoo, and then he gets stolen by a seagull so near to our house.
"He is going to be tied to Jack from now on".

Rakish Bingham cancelled out Michael Gardyne's splendid opener for County.
The home side regained the lead through a Remi Matthews own goal but substitute David Templeton looked to have earned a draw for the visitors.
However, Franks' strike proved decisive and means Accies can not finish higher than 11th in the table.
Martin Canning's men could still go down automatically if bottom side Inverness Caledonian Thistle can overcome the four-point difference between the sides in their final two matches.
Hamilton's defeat ensures that Dundee are guaranteed Premiership football next season, with Motherwell's win over Kilmarnock also ensuring their safety.
Accies will argue they deserved something from this match, perhaps even all three points. This defeat will hurt badly.
They dug in after a disastrous start and should have been ahead by half-time.
A slice of luck arrived with Bingham's leveller when Ali Crawford's delivery ricocheted in the box and fell perfectly for the striker to slam home. Their fortune ended there in dramatic fashion.
Bingham smashed a shot off the inside of the post soon after. It was unlucky but much more was to follow.
It seemed Crawford had put them ahead with an outstanding free kick from a central area. It sailed over the wall, away from Fox but clipped the inside of the post and out again.
After the break a ball along the six-yard line came through to Greg Docherty, he side-footed from close range for what looked a certain goal but Fox produced an outstanding stop.
Docherty and Massimo Donati came close before substitute Templeton quickly restored parity after Jim O'Brien saw his effort smash off a post and in off Matthews.
It'd be hard to find a more convincing hard luck story.
Hamilton's work rate and commitment was impressive. Their fight under pressure equally so. They also showed they've got ability.
What they don't have is three points. They needed them.
Jim McIntyre's side initially looked very impressive. They were on the front foot and went ahead swiftly.
Gardyne gathered a short corner, ambled to the edge of the box and curled a terrific curling shot into the top corner. It was top quality.
It was poor defensively and at that stage Hamilton looked up against it.
Franks was unfortunate with a technically excellent volley that flew wide.
Christopher Routis twice had excellent opportunities but hesitated at one, then couldn't beat Matthews with the other.
Their second goal came from an excellent strike from O'Brien. It cracked off the post and, in utter contrast to Hamilton's earlier efforts, cannoned of Matthews and into the net. When your luck is out, it's out.
There was no doubt about the quality of their winner though. Franks sent a tremendous effort straight into the corner to settle a brilliant contest.
McIntyre's side remain on target for a seventh place finish which would be a satisfying outcome after missing the top six.
The unbeaten run that took them clear of relegation trouble now stretches to seven matches.
Ross County manager Jim McIntyre: "It was a very open game. We started the game brilliantly, scored a fantastic goal through Michael Gardyne, but Hamilton came right back into it. It was one of those nights with plenty of mistakes and lots of goalmouth action.
"We've had our pockets picked here before in Dingwall with late goals. I feel we picked theirs tonight. I feel for Hamilton tonight but it's all about our team doing what we can do, trying to get into that fight for seventh.
"We know that we have the quality that can hurt sides but the doggedness wasn't quite there tonight and that is the side that we need to improve for Saturday. I thought Hamilton's players gave their manager everything. I wish them well for their fight to stay up."
Hamilton boss Martin Canning: "I can't believe we have lost that game. We have hit the post twice, one rolled along the line and we've had numerous other opportunities.

"Their second goal has come off the post, hit our keeper and gone in. That is when you know your luck is out.
"The amount of bad luck we have got tonight is scary. I couldn't ask more of the players. I asked them to be brave and it was one of our best performances of the season. How we have managed to lose that game, I don't know."

The collection includes personal and professional correspondence, scripts, movies, photographs and posters.
The university said they would be housed at the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts to give them "as wide an audience as possible".
Lord Attenborough, a former chancellor of the university, died in August 2014.
The archive has been stored at the family home in London until recently.
A spokeswoman for the University of Sussex said it expected to receive the collection in the "next few months", it would then be catalogued before being made available to the public and for academic study.
Lord Attenborough's son, Michael Attenborough, said: "I felt my father would have been so thrilled to know that his work will live on in this way.
"It is fitting that his personal papers will come to rest in a place that will ensure his legacy is upheld with genuine care and internationally recognised expertise."
The University of Sussex's arts centre was recently given a multi-million pound makeover and renamed after Lord Attenborough, who was chancellor from 1998 until 2008.
A portrait of Lord Attenborough which includes names of high profile Hollywood and British entertainment figures who helped fund the refurbishment has been unveiled at the centre.
"We are hugely honoured to be chosen to house this prestigious and historically important archive of Lord Attenborough's work," said the University of Sussex vice-chancellor Professor Michael Farthing.
Born in Cambridge in 1923, Lord Attenborough appeared in films such as Brighton Rock, The Great Escape and 1993 dinosaur blockbuster Jurassic Park.
His directorial highlights include the 1982 film Gandhi, which won eight Academy Awards, including best film and best director.
The South Korean firm announced the feature at the global launch event for the G3 handset, held in London.`
The technology is designed to let the Android-powered device's camera focus in dim light conditions and quickly lock onto moving objects.
Experts praised the innovation, but suggested its effect on the firm's global sales ranking would be limited.
"Handsets are becoming harder to identify just from the way they look," said Jasdeep Badyal from the telecoms consultancy CCS Insight.
"A device needs to have some standout features so that when a consumer goes into a store the retailer can explain what makes it different from other smartphones.
"But it will still be a difficult battle for LG, particularly because of the bigger marketing budgets that Samsung, Apple and Sony have."
LG nearly doubled its handset sales to consumers from 2.6 million smartphones in 2012 to 4.6 million in 2013, according to tech research firm Gartner.
However, over the same period the South Korean's smartphone market share only rose from 3.8% to 4.8%, with it remaining in fourth place behind Samsung, Apple and Huawei.
The G3 features a 5.5in (14cm) screen with 538 pixels per inch making it bigger and higher resolution than both its predecessor, the G2, and Samsung's S5.
LG compared the "quad HD" branded screen as offering a similar level of detail to a high quality art book and added that it had taken steps to limit the extra toll this upgrade would take on battery life.
However the device's main 13 megapixel rear camera has a lower resolution than Samsung's.
But the camera is enhanced by the Laser Auto Focus function, which LG said allowed it to focus in 0.276 of a second - faster, it said, than a human's brain signals take to reach their hand.
It works by sending out a low-powered laser beam that allows the device to measure its distance from the photo's subject more accurately than "phase detection" - the analysis of contrast and the focus-assist lamps used by some other devices.
"I remember Sony's early attempts at laser-guided autofocus, over a decade ago, said Jon Devo, technical writer at Amateur Photographer magazine.
"It was also referred to as 'Hologram AF' and worked similarly to how an auto focus-assist beam on modern digital cameras works.
"One of the advantages of having an assist beam or laser is that it can help focus in extremely low light and even in total darkness, although the method was typically slow.
"If the LG G3 can do that effectively and at speed, it could be a game-changing feature in mobile phone photography."
Other innovations announced by LG included the ability to trigger a photograph by making a hand gesture at the phone, which triggers a short countdown before the shot is taken.
The firm suggested that this made the device ideal for "selfies".
However, it will face competition from Huawei for this accolade.
The Chinese firm unveiled its P7 handset last month, which features an 8MP front camera - significantly more than the 2.1MP in LG's machine.
Concern has been voiced over the plans, with historians saying the authority is "selling off the family silver".
Beaumaris courthouse and Victorian jail and the Melin Llynnon windmill have been earmarked for possible sale.
The authority said it wanted to "safeguard the sites" set against its own "growing financial constraints".
Beaumaris mayor Jason Zalot said he was "very, very scared" about developers taking over the jail and courthouse, although the council has said it will listen to ideas from any interested party.
"We do not want to see them turned into a theme park or an amusement arcade. They are a very important part of the Beaumaris' history, and an important tourist attraction."
Mr Zalot said Beaumaris Town Council intended to create a group in order to run the sites.
"We do not know who we are up against. Our concern is that the council will just sell to the highest bidder," he added.
The sale has been announced as part of a £3.5m saving from next year's budget.
Dr Ken Roberts, of the Anglesey Antiquarian Society, said it was important the council found someone who had an interest in the history of Wales.
"What concerns me is that Anglesey county council is selling off the family silver when they should really hang on to them all."
Anglesey council's head of learning, Delyth Molyneux, explained: "All proposals which address the long-term financial sustainability of the sites while providing vibrant, dynamic visitor offers will be considered carefully.
"Our main aim is to develop a new and sustainable business model, or models, to safeguard the future of these sites, and protect and preserve the island's culture and heritage."
Proposals are being sought from town and community councils, social enterprises, businesses, trusts and other organisations.
The council said it will launch a consultation before any final decision is made.
Beaumaris courthouse
Built in 1614, Beaumaris courthouse is one of the oldest courthouses in Britain. Although alterations were made in the 19th Century, its original character remains the same.
Throughout the centuries the courthouse has witnessed various cases from petty misdemeanours to murder. Visitors can walk through the large rectangular courtroom, stand in the original dock and view the grand jury room.
Beaumaris Gaol
This Victorian jail was built in 1829. The gaol apparently features the only original tread wheel in situ in Britain and a gibbet is still fixed to the outer wall.
Visitors can walk along the dimly lit corridors and explore the old cells and places of punishment. They can even visit the punishment cell and the condemned cell.
Llynnon
This is the only working windmill in Wales. Built in 1775, Melin Llynnon operates as an agricultural museum, and produces stone-ground wholemeal flour using organic wheat.
The site also has two Iron Age roundhouses providing an insight of the life of farmers more than 3,000 years ago.
IS fighters have surrounded the area again, leaving many families with little access to food or water.
Four months since the US and Britain provided aid to those stranded, those that remain rely on Iraqi helicopters for life-saving provisions and rescue.
The people face regular attacks by IS but have few heavy weapons to defend themselves.

Correspondence between Edinburgh Zoo and the Scottish government had suggested this could be the due date.
A spokesman for the zoo has said it is hard to predict a specific date for any cub being born, and that the breeding season can last until late September.
Tian Tian, who arrived at the zoo in 2011, was artificially inseminated earlier this year.
A spokesman for the zoo said: "We can confirm our female giant panda, Tian Tian, will not be giving birth today.
"Breeding pandas is exceptionally complex and we anticipate that her breeding cycle will continue into September.
"We're closely monitoring Tian Tian and we will share any news as soon as possible."
Panda reproduction is a notoriously difficult process, with females only ovulating once a year.
Tian Tian was sent to Edinburgh as part of a breeding pair with Yang Guang.
They are the only giant pandas living in the UK.
They arrived on loan from China in December 2011 and are due to remain at Edinburgh Zoo for a decade.
The zoo first announced it was in negotiations to bring a pair of giant pandas to Scotland in 2008.
The pair were brought to the UK under an agreement between the UK and Chinese governments.
Described as a gift from China, they were the first giant pandas to live in the UK for 17 years.
The Celtic captain says the squad owe it to the manager to turn their form around.
He also urged supporters to get behind the team and the manager following the reigning champions' defeats by Ross County and Aberdeen.
"We now need to do it for him," said the Scotland midfielder. "We've got to take responsibility."
Brown said the players were "devastated" by the 2-1 defeat by Aberdeen, which reduced Celtic's lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to three points.
He remains confident, though, that the squad has the ability and mentality to prevail in the title race.
"Stick with us," Brown said in a message to the Celtic fans.
"We're disappointed with the last two games, but we'll bounce back.
"We've got two huge games coming up in the league at home and we'll need their support.
"The manager's been good since he came in, he's put 100% into the job and a lot behind us as well.
"He's coping well, he's always positive. He's always looking at how we can improve as a team and players. He's bouncing through it.
"We speak all the time, we go through a lot of things together."
Brown said there were sticky patches under previous manager Gordon Strachan.
"We've got to take a lot of responsibility," he said. "It's us who are out on the park.
"We're still top of the league and that's what people have got to remember.
"We had tough times under Gordon and we came through that, we became better players and went on to win trophies.
"That's what we aim to do at the end of this season.
"We're still three points clear. We know what it's about, we've been there and done it before and we'll do it again this year.
"Winning leagues is always hard, losing two games in a row is always hard, but it's about how you bounce back. We've got the mentality in that dressing room and the belief that we can do it."
They are the arsonists who set alight bushfires, and who often strike on days when soaring temperatures and high winds combine to create the most hazardous conditions.
Facing with the ferociousness of nature can be hard enough for Australian fire crews, but in a surprisingly large number of blazes they also have to contend with the warped minds of the firebugs.
Of the 60,000 bushfires in Australia each year, 9% are lit deliberately, according to figures compiled by the Australian Institute of Criminology. Another 21% are considered suspicious.
Then there are the fires where the source of ignition is unknown, which has led researchers to believe that as many as half of all bushfires may be started deliberately.
A major blaze on Black Saturday in 2009, which alone killed 10 people and destroyed 150 homes, was the work of an arsonist. For setting alight what became known as the Churchill fire, Brendan Sokaluk was sentenced to 17 years in prison.
Not unusually for a "firebug", Sokaluk had once been a volunteer in the rural fire service.
The tough sentence meted out to Sokaluk, however, appears to have had little deterrent effect.
In South Australia, one of the states most prone to fire activity, the police reckon that 50 fires were started deliberately between the beginning of September and the end of December and that 60 were suspicious. And the worst of the Australian fire season usually comes in January and February.
Building an accurate psychological profile of firebugs has proved difficult because so few are apprehended - it is estimated that just 1% of arsonists who start bushfires are caught and convicted.
Overwhelmingly, they are male. Normally they have a history of disturbed and also fire-related behaviour. They tend to be loners, and often are unemployed.
"As children, they may have made false alarm calls to the fire service," explains Prof Katarina Fritzon, who runs the Australian Centre for Arson Research and Treatment (ACART) at Bond University in Queensland.
"They will not have completed their formal schooling, they might have been expelled from school and there's usually a history of grudges against people and disgruntlement with society."
"They're not good at social relationships," says Janet Stanley from Monash University in Melbourne, another bushfire arson expert. "They're disengaged from society and often they've had a rough trot in life." Often, firebugs are unaware of the potentially grave consequences of their actions.
Here, they differ from urban arsonists, many of whom act out of revenge against a specific target or set out to defraud insurance companies.
"Firebugs have a wider range of motivations," she says. "Sometimes it can be a cry for help. Sometimes it can be attention seeking."
Shocking as it sounds that volunteer firemen are sometimes also firebugs, it is not an unfamiliar phenomenon.
"If you've got a propensity to light fires, then you are likely to be attracted to the chaos they cause," says Janet Stanley. "It's an obvious organisation to join if you want to light fires and put them out."
Because fires are often started in secluded areas of bushland, catching arsonists in the act can be extraordinarily difficult. Even so, they often leave behind clues in the mistaken belief that the flames will incinerate all the evidence.
"They sometimes leave behind petrol cans, thinking the fire will destroy them," says Prof Fritzon, "but they don't. Fingerprints are left behind." Still, a major problem for police is that many arsonists believe they will not be apprehended.
"There's a perception that because of the remoteness, it's hard to get caught," says Prof Fritzon.
To combat the threat from firebugs, law enforcement agencies mainly rely on preventative measures. Ahead of particularly hazardous days, police visit known potential offenders to warn that they are under surveillance.
In South Australia, as part of a strategy called Operation Nomad, the car number plates of known arsonists are uploaded so that traffic cameras in areas prone to bushfires can alert local police. Patrols are stepped up in areas favoured by firebugs, such as the Adelaide Hills, on the edge of the state capital.
Under Operation Nomad, South Australian police have identified 278 "persons of interest", of whom 33 are considered high risk. Western Australia, under a programme called Strike Force Vulcan, has identified 36 high-risk offenders.
Despite the prevalence of firebugs, experts say that Australia does not do a good job of understanding or treating them. Complaining of a paucity of research, they note that Australia has fallen a long way behind America and Britain in this field, despite being such a fire-prone country.
There is also a lack of treatment facilities. "We haven't got a sophisticated enough mental health system," says Janet Stanley. "Arsonists tend to get imprisoned rather than treated."
So Australia is still a long way from fully understanding the minds of some of summer's most dangerous criminals.

The Hornet plane came down in fields at Redmere, near Ely, close to the Suffolk border, at about 10:30 BST.
Cambridgeshire Police said the pilot, who was the only crew member, has died.
The aircraft had taken off from RAF Lakenheath, but was not based there.
The health service had previously fought against paying for Prep and even took the issue to court, unsuccessfully, last year.
The drug will be given to 10,000 people in a £10m trial lasting three years.
The Terrence Higgins Trust said it was "crucial" the NHS delivered plans to offer the protection routinely.
Prep (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a daily pill that disables HIV before it gets a stranglehold in the body.
Trials suggest it can cut the risk of being infected by up to 86%.
People buying the drug privately has been linked to the first fall in new infections in gay men.
Scotland has already announced it will make Prep available on the NHS to people at risk of HIV. And in Wales, the government is also trialling the drug.
Sexual health clinics in London, Brighton, Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield are expected to be the first to offer Prep to high-risk people, starting September.
The rest of the country will take part by April 2018.
Simon Stevens, the chief executive of NHS England, said: "This major new intervention should complement and supercharge the wide-ranging and increasingly successful effort to prevent HIV.
"It's another milestone in more than three decades' worth of progress in tackling one of humanity's major health challenges."
NHS England had fought not to offer the drug, arguing responsibility for paying for it should fall to local authorities not the NHS.
The trial will aim to answer questions about how Prep should be offered on a wide scale across England.
Harry Dodd, 25, is one of about 500 gay men in England who are taking Prep as part of a trial called Proud.
He says: "I've seen the panic on the face of previous boyfriends when they are awaiting their [HIV test] results - it's a huge fear, and it affects everything you do.
"To be able to have sex without having that fear hanging over you all the time is huge."
Harry says taking Prep has still not become socially acceptable.
"Too many people seem to think it will encourage a hedonistic lifestyle, but for me this is about saving lives," he says.
"People reacted with cynicism when the contraceptive pill for women was first introduced.
"For me, taking Prep has helped me to trust again, have relationships and build bridges, and that shouldn't be taken away."

Ian Green, chief executive of the Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "The priority must now be to make sure that the trial reaches everyone at risk of HIV, and that it is rolled out speedily across the whole country, by the end of this year at the very latest - spring 2018 is not soon enough.
"To make sure no-one at risk of HIV is left behind, it is crucial that at the end of this trial, a clear process for routinely commissioning Prep on the NHS is agreed."
Deborah Gold, the chief executive at the National Aids Trust, said: "This is a pivotal moment in the fight against HIV.
"Prep, if targeted properly at those in need and at high risk of HIV, offers the possibility of transforming the English HIV epidemic.
"We warmly welcome this announcement."

The files included video and audio recordings as well as police reports on pending investigations.
The trove of records had previously not been made available to the public.
The disclosure comes six months after public backlash over video footage of a black teenager who died after being shot 16 times by a white officer.
The Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA), which investigates alleged police misconduct, released the files dating back five years.
Chicago police dogged by racism
Police face federal investigation
Police chief fired over teenager's death
Protesters called on Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other officials to step down in November after police dashcam footage showed Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times in 2014. Mr Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder.
Chicago officials withheld the footage of Mr McDonald's death for a year before a judge ordered its release.
Public outcry prompted the US Justice Department to launch an investigation into the Chicago Police Department's use of force and accountability procedures.
The city posted the files online as part of a new policy to release videos of shootings at the hands of police within 60 days of most incidents.
Chicago is struggling to restore public trust in law enforcement amid the fallout over the handling of Mr McDonald's death.
A task force appointed by the mayor issued a scathing report in April that found the police department to be plagued by racism.
Colin Shields slammed the puck home early in the first period to put the Giants ahead.
Michael Forney doubled the lead four minutes into the third period when he scored a fine unassisted goal.
Sheffield pulled a goal back through John Armstrong with just over a minute left but the Gianst held on to win.
The hosts started the contest brightly, with player-coach Derrick Walser almost scoring with barely a minute on the clock, but his shot flew just wide of the post.
Belfast then capitalised on a high-sticking penalty called against Jesse Schultz of the Steelers, exploiting the extra man advantage as Shields netted.
The Steelers then failed to make two powerplays of their own count and the Giants ended the first period with their lead preserved.
It stayed 1-0 in a frenetic second period, mainly thanks to Belfast's Jackson Whistle, who was the busier of the two netminders as the Steelers stepped up a gear.
But the reigning champions had nothing to show for their efforts by the second intermission.
Forney finished with aplomb past Mustukovs in the Steelers goal early in the third period to make it 2-0 while Armstrong struck late to deny Whistle a clean sheet.
The Giants are back in league action Sunday with an away game against Manchester Storm.
Darren Baker ran into the Premier Express store in Drayton Road, Norwich, after his wife was threatened by a man wielding an imitation firearm.
Mr Baker overpowered the robber until police arrived: "I looked at him, looked at the gun, and just rushed at him to disarm him," he said.
Stephen Lawrence, 54, was jailed for 11 years for attempted robbery.
Shop manager Mike Sherwood said he had thanked Mr Baker for his actions during December's robbery.
"I've thanked him personally and 'thank-you' is such a small word, but I meant it very sincerely. He is brilliant," he said.
Mr Baker said he had been to court to watch proceedings, and heard the judge "say what a brave man I was".
PC Adam Rushton, 37, took advantage of his job as a beat officer in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, to carry out his crimes, his trial was told.
Det Ch Con Nick Baker said: "He has brought shame on himself, his colleagues and Staffordshire Police."
Rushton, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, will be sentenced on 1 May.
He was convicted of five counts of misconduct and another of breaching data protection rules, all dating between 2008 and 2012.
Rushton's conviction relates to four victims he met while working, two of whom he was found guilty of having sex with when on duty.
The jury also found him guilty of intending to have sex with another woman after exchanging "playful and flirty" text messages while on duty.
Prosecutor Duncan Bould said the officer's duties had brought him into contact with "vulnerable and frightened" women, often in "extreme circumstances".
Giving evidence at Birmingham Crown Court, Rushton, who has been with the force for 10 years, said it was "not very professional" to go to one woman's home for oral sex, while separately sleeping with two others.
However, he rejected claims his conduct amounted to criminal misbehaviour.
None of the women are understood to have made any complaints to police.
Det Ch Con Baker said: "I would like to apologise to the victims, witnesses and their families who have suffered as a result of Rushton's actions.
"Their bravery in giving evidence cannot be underestimated. Adam Rushton is a disgrace to the police service."
The Independent Police Complaints Commission praised the Staffordshire Police investigation, but said the case showed there had been "limitations in their supervisory processes".
Rushton was cleared of five counts of misconduct and one data protection breach.
Surjit Athwal, 27, originally from Coventry, was killed in India in 1998.
Her mother-in-law Bachan Athwal and husband Sukhdave Athwal, of Hayes, west London, were jailed at the Old Bailey in 2007 for arranging her murder.
Jagdeesh Singh said those paid to murder his sister remain free in India and called for a new investigation.
Surjit Athwal was killed during a trip to the northern Indian state of Punjab in 1998. Her body was never found.
Mr Singh has written a letter to David Cameron to mark what would have been her 42nd birthday.
"He can press the Indian Prime Minister for a full scale investigation into this case," he said.
"Although, there was an investigation conducted by the Punjab police in 2000, there were no convictions for men who killed my sister."
Mr Singh has called for any new investigation to be carried out by India's Central Bureau of Investigation.
"They have the capacity, the expertise, the personnel to act independently and equally to liaise with the British police directly and invite the input of officers who investigated the case in the UK," he said.
The British investigation was carried out by the Metropolitan Police.
Det Ch Insp Clive Driscoll, who led the inquiry into Surjit's death, said he was prepared to share information he had gathered with the Indian authorities.
He said: "I have absolutely no doubt that I have evidence and information contained within my investigation which would be of assistance to the Indian authorities."
In a statement, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said it remained engaged in the case.
It said: "We continue to raise the case with the Indian authorities at appropriate opportunities.
"It was raised by Minister Hugo Swire on 19 February 2013 when he met with the MEA's [Ministry of External Affairs] Foreign Secretary, Ranjan Mathai."
The government insists it is for the Indian authorities to investigate the death.
"We cannot interfere in another country's legal procedures, just as they cannot interfere in ours," the statement said.
ParalympicsGB's nine golds on Wednesday took their tally to 43, improving on their 34 four years ago.
In a prolific evening session, they won 10 medals in the space of an hour in swimming and athletics.
Cockroft won the T34 400m in a world-record time while Storey was victorious earlier in the C5 cycling time trial.
She was one of three time-trial gold medallists for Britain, along with Karen Darke and Steve Bate.
Kadeena Cox set a world record of one minute 0.71 seconds to win the T38 400m in athletics, and Sophie Wells was victorious in the Grade IV dressage individual championship.

Britain had an excellent night in the pool with Aaron Moores pipping team-mate Scott Quin to gold for a one-two in the men's SB14 100m breaststroke and Michael Jones and Jonathan Fox taking first and second respectively in the men's S7 400m freestyle final.
Hannah Russell added to the haul with gold and knocked nine tenths of a second off her own world record in the women's S12 100m backstroke.
"I've been training for four hard years and I wanted to execute the perfect race, so to do it here is fantastic," said Russell, who also won a silver and two bronzes at London 2012.
Cockroft triumphed in the T34 400m on the track in a world record of 58.78secs, while her 15-year-old team-mate Kare Adenegan finished third for her second medal of the Paralympics.
The 24-year-old from Halifax won Saturday's 100m final and can make it three with victory in Friday's 800m final.

Storey, 38, now has 13 career Paralympic gold medals and has won two events at these Games, with her triumph in the 3km pursuit on the track last week having already made her Britain's most successful female Paralympian.
"I wasn't 100% sure I had won [Wednesday's time trial]," she told Channel 4. "Your time checks are brilliant but until the announcer says it you're not sure."
Darke, 45, went one better than her silver medal at London 2012 to win the hand-cycling H1-3 time trial, despite having to put her chain back on part way through the 20km course.
Her gold medal came minutes after her Paralympic Village flat-mate Cox had secured her third medal of the Games with her record-breaking T38 400m on the athletics track.

Cox, 25, has now claimed gold medals and world records in two sports in Rio, having won the track cycling C4-5 time trial in a best-ever time as well, while she also won T38 100m bronze.
She is the first British Paralympian to win two golds in two different sports at the same Games since 1984, when Peter Haslam topped the podium in both shooting and snooker.
Bate and his pilot Adam Duggleby won Britain's third cycling gold of the day with victory in the men's B tandem time-trial.
It was the pair's second gold of the Games after their tandem pursuit win.
Andy Lapthorne - who took doubles bronze with Jamie Burdekin on Tuesday - added to GB's tally with silver in the men's wheelchair tennis quad singles, losing 6-3 6-4 to Australian world number one Dylan Alcott.
ParalympicsGB flag-bearer Lee Pearson also took silver in the Grade Ib dressage individual championship on his horse Zion to take his Paralympic Games medal tally to 13.
Lora Turnham and her pilot Corrine Hall finished third in the women's B tandem time trial and there was also a bronze medal for 16-year-old Maria Lyle in the T35 100m final, whose class-mates watched from their school hall in the UK.
David Stone, who won gold at London 2012, took bronze in the men's tricycle T1-2 time trial.
Elsewhere, Italian former Formula 1 driver Alex Zanardi continued his dominance of Paralympic hand-cycling by adding the H5 road time trial title to his two gold medals from London 2012 on the eve of the 15th anniversary of the crash in which he lost both legs.
He goes for gold again on Thursday in the road race (13:30 BST).
And Iran's Siamand Rahman set three new world records in 30 minutes in the men's +107kg powerflifting, winning gold with a lift of 310kg, or 75kg more than his nearest rival, or, according to Paralympics officials "the weight of a Siberian tiger".
In their quarter-final match, the GB men's wheelchair basketball team delivered one of their greatest ever performances at a Paralympics to beat world champions Australia 74-51.
Paralympic debutant Phil Pratt impressed again with 20 points, while team-mate Ian Sagar was the top scorer on 26.
They face Spain in the semi-finals on Thursday evening - just a few hours after the GB women bid for a place in their final by taking on the USA.

Wins for Gordon Reid and teenager Alfie Hewett set up an all-British clash for Friday's men's singles final and guaranteed GB gold and silver, but first the duo will line up together in Thursday's doubles final to face France.
Reid, the Wimbledon champion, beat world number one Stephane Houdet of France but rising star Hewett, the world number 12, has exceeded all expectations in his first Paralympics, defeating the world number two Joachim Gerard of Belgium.
There was a clean sweep of British success in Para-canoeing's debut at the Paralympics, as Jeanette Chippington (KL1), Ian Marsden (KL1), Emma Wiggs (KL2) and Anne Dickins (KL3) all won their heats to go into Thursday's finals.
Nick Beighton (KL2) also progressed by coming second in his heat, while Rob Oliver (KL3) won his semi-final to progress.

The winning images from this year's Astronomy Photographer of the Year have been announced.
Chinese photographer Yu Jun's picture of Baily's beads won him both the Our Sun category and the overall award, Insight Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2016.
Baily's beads come from the specks of light that appear around the Moon during a total eclipse of the Sun, a phenomenon first explained by 19th Century astronomer Francis Baily.
Yu Jun's picture is a multiple exposure, capturing the Sun during the stages of a total solar eclipse as seen from Luwuk, Indonesia.
"This is an eclipse as you have never quite seen it before," said one of the competition's judges, Dr Marek Kukula.
With more than 4,000 entries, Dr Kukula said this year they had been looking for out-of-the-ordinary images that pushed the boundaries of photography.
The runner-up in this section was also a composite image.
Taken by Catalin Beldea and processed by Alson Wong, Sun Flower Corona uses 12 images to convey the beauty of an eclipse.
Dr Kukula said this effect, could only have been revealed by this clever use of the camera.
The winner of the Aurorae category, Gyorgy Soponyai's Twilight Aurora, shows the aurora borealis in Svalbard, Norway.
The judges said there was tendency when photographing the aurora to emphasise deep colour, especially the greens, so this picture stood out because of its more subtle tones.
Runner-up Kolbein Svensson went further, shooting an aurora entirely in black and white.
The judges liked the way Nicolas Outters's M94: Deep Space Halo - taken through a telescope, using a 20 minute exposure - caught all the regions of the distant spiral galaxy, from the bright centre to the darker regions on the edge.
"The process was very difficult to do, and the challenge was to show all the small galaxies on the background," said Outters.
Ignacio Diaz Bobillo's Towards the Small Magellanic Cloud was also shot through a telescope, but with a five-hour exposure.
He stitched together a number of pictures to obtain the high-resolution image, revealing the stars and far away clusters in the dwarf galaxy.
His software counted more than 120,000 stars.
A detailed view of the lunar landscape by Jordi Delpeix Borrell won the Our Moon section.
Taken through a 14in (35cm) telescope, From Maurolycus to Moretus comprises a stack of images.
"The photographer focused in on an area of the Moon that has been hammered by impacts over billions of years, pockmarked by craters within craters," said Dr Kukula, to create a technically brilliant and dynamic image.
In contrast, the runner-up, Katherine Young's Rise Lunation, is made up of just one frame and has no post-processing.
It is the Moon just rising, seen through thick layers of the Earth's atmosphere, distorting the air with only the red part of the spectrum reaching the camera.
"As the Moon emerges, I relish the ripples and surprising shimmers," said Young.
Wing Ka Ho's City Lights shows the light trails of stars passing over Hong Kong's tightly packed streets.
At times, the light pollution makes it hard to see the stars.
Dani Caxete took Man on the Moon, using a telescope as his friend posed on Pena Munana, in Cadalso de los Vidrios, Spain.
Damian Peach said he had had near perfect conditions for viewing the rings of Saturn, in March of this year.
His picture, Serene Saturn, shows a variety of coloured bands within the atmosphere of the planet.
"It could almost be a Hubble Space Telescope picture, but it was taken by an amateur astronomer using commercially available equipment," said Dr Kukula.
Gerald Rhemann's Comet Catalina was taken over a period of nearly one hour and 20 minutes.
Ainsley Bennett got up early in October to capture his picture, Binary Haze.
"I knew the Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter were in close conjunction," he said.
"To my surprise, the mist added a new dimension by accentuating the brightness of the crescent moon and Venus making them look like glowing spheres.
"The resultant image looked like something from a science-fiction movie, with binary stars rising from the horizon of an unknown planet."
Mikko Silvola shot Silent Waves of the Sky: Noctilucent Clouds in Finland.
Yu Jun's Geminids over the Lamost telescope shows a night's worth of meteors over an observatory in China.
"This picture shows all these meteors, grains of dust burning up high the atmosphere," said Dr Kukula.
"Because the photographer has composited all the meteors from one night, you can see they all come from one spot in the sky."
Steve Brown's The Rainbow Star depicts Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, the brightest in our sky.
Brown filmed the star with the lens set slightly out of focus, intensifying its light as it passed through the Earth's atmosphere, which distorts and refracts it into a range of colours.
The runner-up, Pavel Pech's Perseus Molecular Cloud was taken in Sumava national Park, in the Czech Republic.
Brendan Devine, 15, stacked more than 60 frames to create his winning picture, Lunar Reversal, and then used software to invert the image, making it a negative.
The judges said this showed the Moon in a whole new light, allowing the texture to jump out.
And this willingness to play with images was something they had seen in this category more than others.
They can have a curious impact upon the unwary politician. Recycled air competes with reheated clichés to dull the senses. Bouts of ennui are followed by spells of frenzied enthusiasm, occasionally genuine.
Ruth Davidson is just back from the Conservative gathering in Birmingham. There she was feted as a star. Her opinions were sought, her views cited - even if - especially when she deviated a tad from the UK party line.
At Birmingham, she was if not quite the top banana then certainly pretty high up the tree. She even expressed a keen interest in appearing upon Strictly Come Dancing. The nation awaits her paso doble with a mixture of mute astonishment and mischievous anticipation.
Anyway, she returned, stimulated by the light, invigorating breeze from Birmingham's canals. (The city has, as every Brummie will tell you, more miles of canal than Venice. Without, of course, the Doge's Palace, St Mark's Square, the Bridge of Sighs and the quattrocento masterpieces - but these, no doubt, are pending in what the PM billed the Midlands Engine.)
One would scarcely be human if such star billing did not have an impact. Certainly, it would appear to have emboldened Ms Davidson - not that she needed much encouragement, her chutzpah count being already fairly high.
And so, her courage suitably stiffened, she challenged the First Minister to say what she intended to do about Brexit. Come on, FM, sort it out, would you?
Ms Sturgeon rose slowly to her feet. "Oh look out!", as John Lennon yells towards the end of Abbey Road. (The album, that is, not the London street.) You could just see the FM thinking "up with this I will not put".
And so it proved. According to the FM, her Conservative counterpart had something of a cheek demanding action on Brexit. Which, she reminded the chamber, had resulted from a decision taken by Ms Davidson's own party.
Nothing daunted, the Tory leader argued, in essence, that we are where we are. The choice now was to whinge or to act. She opted for action, disowning the course of mumping.
In response, Ms Sturgeon said that she too would seek to mitigate the impact of Brexit - as outlined in a report from the Fraser of Allander Institute - but would be considerably assisted in that endeavour if the UK government would drop a couple of hints as to how they intended to proceed.
Later still, Ms Sturgeon returned to the topic of the Conservative conference when invited to do so by Willie Rennie of the Liberal Democrats. Mr Rennie spoke with evident disapproval of the idea floated in Birmingham that there might be an audit of foreign workers in the UK.
Ms Sturgeon described this notion as, among other things, "disgusting" - and urged its withdrawal. Foreign workers here, she said, should be welcomed, not deployed as potential bargaining chips in any negotiation with the EU.
But, of course, the Brexit train has yet to leave the station. Which brings us to the topic raised by Labour's Kezia Dugdale.
She was exercised by delays and overcrowding on Scotland's rail network. This was a deftly populist issue advanced by the Labour leader. Commuters, she knows, are decidedly open to suggestions that their service could benefit from improvement.
Ms Sturgeon knows that and so she tiptoed towards the topic. Yes, things could be better but ministers were acting. It was better, she said, than "carping from the sidelines". Or perhaps, in this case, the branch line.
Ms Dugdale looked ever so slightly hurt. As far as she was aware, she was doing her job of holding the First Minister to account.
Still, onwards and upwards. Ms Dugdale and Mr Rennie left to hone their carping skills. Ms Sturgeon departed for Iceland where she is to speak about environmental conditions in the Arctic Circle. Or Fraserburgh, as it is known in the North-east.
And Ms Davidson pirouetted out of the chamber before executing a deft Palais glide, all the while humming one of the lighter airs from HMS Pinafore.
They attend more than four events a year, spending more money than the average fan. Due to the cost of tickets and camping, they're usually in their 30s, with an average income of £45,000.
The survey, commissioned by ticketing website Eventbrite, had a small sample size (just 504 respondents), meaning its results may not be 100% accurate - but those hardcore fans definitely exist.
"I've never thought of myself as a superfan, but me, my family and friends can attend four or more festivals a year," says Rob Henderson. "I thought this was quite normal."
He was immersed in music from a young age, attending local folk festivals with his dad.
"But that wasn't camping out," he says. "It was just in pubs and things like that. Everyone had to be quiet and you weren't allowed to leave the room until the music finished - so I didn't really count that as a festival.
"It was probably about 1995 in Reading when I was let off on my own to find out what I liked."
These days, that means smaller, boutique events, with a focus on drum and bass music.
"I like nice little chilled-out festivals, where all the people get on and there's no trouble whatsoever. You don't seem to get that at the big festivals like V and Reading."
Fellow superfan David Burton says he spends more than £2,000 per year on tickets. He, too, prefers to avoid the bigger festivals, which "can seem too money-driven".
He says some promoters "over-sell" their VIP tickets, to the point where the "premium VIP areas are still jammed solid with queues for the toilets".
"Ramblin' Man seem to have the right idea, though, with a VIP area you can see the main stage from, staff wandering around buying drinks for you, and a size that means the acts aren't just ants in the distance."
Both Rob and David highlight the social aspects of attending festivals, with the opportunity to "catch up with mates you haven't seen for ages" almost as important as the music itself.
Again, that's easier in a smaller venue. "At Download unless you've arranged to meet someone, randomly spotting them in such huge crowds is a challenge," says David.
While these recurring visitors are the bedrock of the festival scene, this summer's economic uncertainty has unexpectedly bred a new generation of festival fan.
"We're a family with two daughters, aged 12 and seven, who normally enjoy holidays in Egypt or Turkey," Justin Browning-Smith tells the BBC.
"We've decided to stay in UK this year, principally because of recent terror attacks, and festivals will form a big part of our breaks. So far, we've been to Newark Festival, British Summer Time [in Hyde Park] and have hired a motor home for Lakefest next weekend."
The family have been so enamoured with the experience that they're considering buying a motorhome and "trying to get to Glastonbury next year".
Meanwhile, Rob has achieved superfan nirvana: Setting up his own festival. The Old Sawmill Garden Party takes place next month in a "secret location" between Leeds and Middleborough.
Featuring dance music from the likes of Mini Da' Minx and The Asbo Disco, it grew out of a garden party he used to hold at his mum's house.
"It started out with 20 people, and a couple of years down the line there's, like, three or four hundred people turning up.
"My mum said: 'Look, we can't have 300 people in the back garden - so we got our own area at a few local festivals, and it's escalated from there."

Currently sanctions, which result in the loss of benefits, can be imposed immediately.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said they were a "necessary part of the system" but kept under review.
Labour's Frank Field, who is the chairman of the Work and Pensions Select Committee, welcomed the move.
"Conditionality is an important part of our benefit system, but sanctions must be fair, clearly understood and not plunge families into unjustifiable hardship," he said.
Claimants face sanctions for issues such as failing to turn up for job interviews or meetings with job advisers.
In a parliamentary statement to the Commons, Mr Duncan Smith said that it was in response to a report by the select committee that he had decided to trial a warning system.
"We will trial arrangements whereby claimants are given a warning of our intention to sanction and a 14-day period to provide evidence of good reason before the decision to sanction is made.
"During this time claimants will have another opportunity to provide further evidence to explain their non-compliance," he said.
But shadow work and pensions secretary Owen Smith claimed that the written statement had been "snuck out" and did not address "any of the principal recommendations" of the select committee.
"In particular it doesn't address the recommendation as to whether there should be an independent review into those people who have died while subject to benefit sanctions," he said.
Kirsty McHugh, chief executive of the Employment Related Services Association, said: "We welcome the recognition by the secretary of state that the sanctions system is in need of reform, but are concerned that the changes today don't go far enough."
She said that for some jobseekers receiving a sanction could act as a wake-up call, but for the majority the sanction system was more likely to "hinder the journey to employment".
"Jobseekers move into work quickest when they feel positive about work and thus sanctions should only be used as a last resort," she added.
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said: "The vast majority of jobseekers do everything expected of them in return for their benefits, and accept the support on offer to move into work.
"There are now record levels of employment in the UK, and unemployment is back to pre-recession levels. The Jobcentre regime, of which sanctions are a part, has played an important role in this."
The Marxist rebel group said it rejected an "express peace process", after the Colombian government pushed for speedy peace talks.
The two sides have agreed to open formal negotiations in neighbouring Ecuador on 27 October.
They have been engaged in an armed conflict for more than five decades.
The rebels wrote on Twitter (in Spanish) that "we are in total disagreement with the push for an express peace process because progress can't be made with narrow time limits".
The ELN said that it wanted civil society to be involved in the search for a permanent peace deal.
The Colombian government for its part is keen to reach a deal with the ELN as soon as possible.
How significant is Colombia's ELN rebel group?
The government is still reeling from the rejection by Colombians of a peace agreement with the country's largest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc).
That agreement was reached after almost four years of talks in the Cuban capital, Havana.
But it was rejected by a narrow margin in a popular vote on 2 October by Colombians, many of whom thought it was too lenient on the Farc.
Government and ELN rebel negotiators announced back in March that they would open formal peace negotiations.
But the talks, originally scheduled to start in May, were delayed after the ELN rebels failed to meet the government's demand that it stop kidnapping people.
The ELN has since made a commitment not to carry out any more kidnappings, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said.
The group has released three hostages over the past weeks and is expected to free another two before the start of the talks in Quito.
He said he would use a "carrot and stick" approach to force up pay if he leads the Labour Party to power.
Those who embrace the £11 rate would be rewarded with lower NI contributions under Mr Burnham's plan.
He faces Yvette Cooper, Jeremy Corbyn and Liz Kendall in the leadership vote.
At the start of the final 10 days of campaigning, Mr Burnham will set out the proposals at an event in Pudsey - a seat Labour failed to win at the election.
He is expected to say Chancellor George Osborne's National Living Wage plan - announced in the Budget - is a "complete con" because it only applies to over-25s and fails to compensate for cuts in tax credits.
Mr Burnham's proposed rate, which would rise to over £12 in London, would apply to all age groups.
It would also be adjusted for the loss of tax credits and linked to the cost of housing, food and household items.
Firms that failed to pay the rate would face penalties devised in consultation "with independent experts and with business, ensuring a credible, deliverable and fair plan", Mr Burnham is set to say.
"The Labour Party I lead will stand for a true living wage for everyone," Mr Burnham is expected to say.
"It will be based on the simple principle that the same hour's work deserves the same hour's pay, regardless of your age. So I will abolish the youth rate minimum wage, apply the higher rate to everyone and give incentives for companies to go even further."
The shadow health secretary, who is trailing Mr Corbyn according to recent polls, is expected to add: "Businesses will be helped to pay a true living wage, but as more firms pay this fair wage it would be wrong for the unscrupulous few to hold out. So over the next Parliament I will phase in National Insurance penalties for those not paying the rate.
"By 2025, we will end the scourge of low pay in the UK for ever."
At-a-glance profiles of the four contenders
The discovery came when divers were sent down to search inside the USS John S McCain, now berthed at Singapore's Changi naval base.
The collision with a Liberian-flagged ship happened before dawn on Monday as the US vessel made a routine port call.
The US has since ordered a worldwide "operational pause" of its navy fleet.
It was the fourth crash involving a US Navy ship in a year, and the second in the past two months.
The collision ripped open the port side of the US vessel, flooding parts of the ship including crew compartments.
Admiral Scott Swift, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, said divers "were able to locate some remains in those sealed compartments during their search today".
The navy was also examining whether a body found by the Malaysian navy was one of the missing sailors, he said.
Ships, equipment and aircraft from the American, Indonesian, Malaysian and Singapore navies have been involved in the search for the missing sailors.
The USS John S McCain was east of Singapore when the collision occurred. It was reported before dawn at 05:24 local time on Monday (21:24 GMT on Sunday).
The destroyer sustained damage to her port side, which is the left-hand side of the vessel facing forward. Five sailors were injured, four of whom were medically evacuated to a Singapore hospital.
The tanker it collided with, Alnic MC, sustained damage to a tank near the front of the ship 7m (23ft) above the waterline, but none of its crew were injured and there were no oil spills.
The Alnic MC, carrying oil from Taiwan to Singapore, is currently at the Raffles Reserved Anchorage in Singapore.
The cause of the collision is not yet known, but Navy Admiral John Richardson, the chief of naval operations, has ordered fleet commanders to stop what they are doing for a day or two over the next week to "assess and review with their commands the fundamental practice to safe and effective operations".
He has also ordered a more comprehensive review "to find the contributing factors and root causes of the incidents".
"My hope is that we will learn, continue to improve in the short term, validating that we are sound on the fundamentals and if not then we'll take action to correct that, and then look at broader, more systemic issues that we may find through this comprehensive review," he said in a statement.
He also said on Twitter that he would not rule out the possibility of some kind of outside interference or cyber-attack being behind the collision.

This is the fourth time in a year that a US navy vessel has been involved in an accident.
Just two months ago, seven US sailors were killed when the USS Fitzgerald collided with a container ship in Japanese waters near the port city of Yokosuka.
Those who died were found in flooded berths on board the ship after the collision caused a gash under the warship's waterline.
The US Navy said last week that about a dozen sailors would be disciplined, and the commanding officer and other senior crew would be taken off the ship.
In May, a guided missile cruiser collided with a South Korean fishing vessel, while in August last year a submarine collided with an offshore support vessel.

Emadeldin Elsayed, 23, was not charged with a crime but the US authorities sought to deport him, his attorney, Hani Bushra, said.
Immigration authorities said they would allow him to return home voluntarily as long as he departed by 5 July.
Mr Elsayed is being held in a jail in California after his visa was revoked.
Mr Bushra said on Monday that Mr Elsayed's detention was illegal.
"He's being detained, I think, primarily because he's a Muslim and he's a Middle Easterner," Mr Bushra told the AP news agency. "This kid is going to become a poster boy for hating America."
US Secret Service agents interviewed Mr Elsayed in early February after he posted a photo of Mr Trump on Facebook and wrote he was willing to serve a life sentence for killing the billionaire, and the world would thank him, Mr Bushra said.
Mr Elsayed had said earlier that he never intended to hurt anyone. He said he wrote the post because of Mr Trump's comments about Muslims.
Mr Trump, who is leading the race for the Republican nomination for the presidency, has promised a crackdown on immigration. He has vowed to build a wall along the entire Mexican border and called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country.
The northern districts of Port Loko and Bombali, and Moyamba in the south, will in effect be sealed off immediately.
Nearly 600 people have died of the virus in Sierra Leone where two eastern districts are already blockaded.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has said the world needs to act faster to halt the West Africa Ebola outbreak.
"There is still a significant gap between where we are and where we need to be," Mr Obama told a high-level United Nations meeting on Ebola.
In other developments:
Mr Koroma's announcement follows a three-day nationwide lockdown that ended on Sunday night.
Two eastern districts have been isolated since the beginning of August and the extension of the indefinite quarantine means more than a third of Sierra Leone's 6.1 million population now finds itself unable to move freely.

Ebola drains weak health systems
During Sierra Leone's three-day curfew, more than a million households were surveyed and 130 new cases discovered, the authorities say.
President Koroma said the move had been a success but had exposed "areas of greater challenges", which was why other areas were being quarantined.
Only people delivering essential services can enter and circulate within areas under quarantine.
In a televised address, the president acknowledged that the blockade would "pose great difficulties" for people.
"[But] the life of everyone and the survival of our country take precedence over these difficulties," he said.
According to WHO, the situation nationally in Sierra Leone continues to deteriorate with a sharp increase in the number of newly reported cases in the capital, Freetown, and its neighbouring districts of Port Loko, Bombali, and Moyamba, which are now under quarantine.
The BBC's Umaru Fofana in Freetown says Port Loko is where two of the country's major iron ore mining companies operate and the restrictions are likely to hamper business.
The WHO said despite efforts to deploy more health workers and open new Ebola treatment centres in the worst-affected countries, there was still a significant lack of beds in Sierra Leone and Liberia, with more than 2,000 needed.
The situation in Guinea had appeared to be stabilising, but with up to 100 new confirmed cases reported in each of the past five weeks, it was still of grave concern, it said.
Ebola virus: busting the myths
A new BBC Ebola programme with the latest news about the outbreak is broadcast at 19.50 GMT each weekday on the BBC World Service.
It shows a tent on fire, people trying to climb fences and one person shouting "We are people, not animals".
The group landed at RAF Akrotiri last month and have been at a temporary camp elsewhere while their asylum applications are processed by Cyprus.
The Ministry of Defence says the 100 migrants - mostly Syrians - are being given three meals a day and shelter.
The footage appears to have been filmed on a smartphone by one of the migrants at the camp, which has been set up at another military station in the east of the island.
One clip appears to show a man threatening to hang himself before British police officers arrive. In another, a young boy complains about the cold, saying he had only flip flops to wear on his feet.
A government spokesman said: "We are aware of a series of incidents at the temporary accommodation facility in Cyprus.
"Those staying there have access to three meals a day, shelter, privacy and communications, which United Nations staff have visited and say exceeds the standard of comparable set-ups.
"We continue to work closely with the Cypriot authorities to resolve this situation as quickly as possible. The UK government will not allow a new migrant route to open up to the UK."
The group, who landed at Akrotiri on Cyprus's south coast, consisted of 67 men, 19 women and 28 children.
The government said 14 migrants had since been moved to accommodation in Cyprus.
"Those who have been moved include a number who have claimed asylum, as well as those deemed to be vulnerable," a spokesman said.
BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said the majority of the 114 were still in the camp and in limbo.
"The footage shows tensions are rising and the migrants are frustrated that they are not being allowed to move on," he said.
"The message the government wants to send is a very firm one - we are not going to allow Cyprus to become a route into the UK and this is a matter that will be handed over to the Cypriot authorities.
"Trouble is very few have been handed over and this is a festering problem for the MoD."
Robinson fired in 10 minutes from time after Blackburn had levelled twice.
Daniel Johnson scored two first-half goals for North End, a superb curling 25-yard effort and a penalty.
Rovers' Danny Graham also netted twice - first on the rebound after missing a penalty before the break, and a deflected equaliser in the second half.
Robinson's winner, his third goal in his last five league games, was a clinical finish into the bottom corner from 12 yards and capped a pulsating match, full of drama and attacking football.
The hosts were without strikers Jermaine Beckford and Eoin Doyle, who were beginning three-match bans after being sent off for fighting with each other in last weekend's defeat by Sheffield Wednesday.
But Simon Grayson's side did not suffer going forward as Johnson opened the scoring with a stunning first-time shot into the corner.
Both penalties appeared clear-cut - Johnson first bringing down Blackburn's Sam Gallagher and Darragh Lenihan hand-balling while challenging Preston striker Simon Makienok.
Graham's weak spot-kick for Rovers was saved by Chris Maxwell, but the former Sunderland striker powered in the rebound after a mad goalmouth scramble.
Johnson stroked in his penalty, sending Jason Steele the wrong way, to make it 2-1 to the hosts at half-time.
Graham's second goal had an air of fortune, taking a deflection off Tom Clarke and past Maxwell, but Blackburn could not hold on for a point.

Joe Fortemose Chinakwe walked Buhari in an area where support for the president was high, police said.
Officers said they were worried the moved could antagonise people, though he insisted it was meant as a compliment.
He has been granted bail but remains in jail as funds are sought, reports said.
Mr Chinakwe, 30, said that he named the dog Buhari because he had admired Mr Buhari for many years.
"I named my beloved pet dog Buhari, who is my hero," Mr Chinakwe said. "My admiration for Buhari started far back when he was a military head of state."
He was inspired to give his dog the name after reading about Mr Buhari's fight against corruption, he added.
He later told local media he had received death threats over the perceived slight.
Twitters users reacted to the arrest with a mixture of amusement and concern.
"If we keep quiet when they arrest the man who named his dog Buhari who will talk for us when they arrest us for criticizing the real Buhari?" said Reno Omokri.
Mr Chinakwe's case was adjourned until 19 September.
Following a review of the law, Cabinet Office minister Matt Hancock said the FoI Act was "working well".
The FoI Commission was asked to examine it amid concerns within government that "sensitive information" was being inadequately protected.
Its report said FoI had helped "change the culture of the public sector".
Mr Hancock said there would be no wholesale changes to the FoI Act.
"After 10 years, we took the decision to review the Freedom of Information Act and we have found it is working well," he said.
"We will not make any legal changes to FoI. We will spread transparency throughout public services, making sure all public bodies routinely publish details of senior pay and perks.
"After all, taxpayers should know if their money is funding a company car or a big pay-off."
The government has chosen not to legislate to shore up ministers' powers to veto the release of information.
The commission said FoI had "enhanced openness and transparency" and concluded that "there is no evidence that the act needs to be radically altered, or that the right of access to information needs to be restricted".
It added: "In some areas, the commission is persuaded that the right of access should be increased."
However, it said parts of the act were unclear and it made recommendations to improve "clarity and certainty".
BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins says campaigners, opposition politicians and many journalists regarded the independent review of FoI legislation with deep suspicion, concerned the government wanted to curtail a law that allowed them to reveal embarrassing facts about its failings.
Some regular users of the law remain anxious about whether it will be easier for institutions to rule that information requests are too burdensome to be met, he says.
But on the other side of this argument, he adds, the cost of providing information will continue to trouble some public bodies with little money and few staff to spare.
By Martin Rosenbaum, freedom of information specialist
When it was appointed, the government's Freedom of Information Commission was derided by some as an "establishment stitch-up" that would inevitably lead to tough curbs on the public's right to know what its rulers are doing.
In fact the Commission's report has surprised many, being more sympathetic to greater openness than expected, while also backing some changes that would help public authorities to keep some material secret.
And at least one proposal it did make to restrict FoI - bolstering the legal basis for ministers' rights to veto disclosure - has already been rejected by the government.
This has left openness campaigners with some powerful feelings of relief.

The FoI Act, which was introduced in 2000 under then Prime Minister Tony Blair, allows a public "right of access" to information held by public authorities.
It obliges public authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and UK-wide authorities based in Scotland, to publish certain information about their activities, and to respond to requests for information.
It has been used to reveal information in a number of high-profile incidents, including the MPs' expenses scandal and Prince Charles's lobbying letters to ministers.
Mr Blair has described himself as a "naive, foolish, irresponsible nincompoop" for introducing the law, saying: "There is really no description of stupidity, no matter how vivid, that is adequate. I quake at the imbecility of it."
The brand new series returns to BBC One for its 13th series in September. Here's the full line-up:
TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher has already been made one of the favourites to win the glitterball trophy in 2015.
Kirsty is a regular face on Sky Sports News keeping viewers up to date on what's happening in the world of sport.
She admitted she's always been a big fan of the show.
"Sport and fitness have always been a big part of my life but dancing is an entirely new challenge for me. I can't wait to get started," she said.
Former 400 metre runner Iwan Thomas was pretty speedy round the track winning gold medals at the European and World Championships as well as the Commonwealth Games.
He says that he's "extremely excited and scared" about joining this year's Strictly.
"I love watching the show and I can't believe I'm swapping my running spikes for dancing shoes," he said.
"I used to be quick at running around the track and I'm just hoping my dance partner doesn't leave me behind."
Call The Midwife star Helen George is swapping babies for ballroom as she joins the Strictly Come Dancing line-up.
Viewers will have seen her recently on screen playing Nurse Trixie Franklin in the popular BBC One drama.
Helen said she's "really excited" about joining the show.
"I know it's going to be a challenge and if I'm honest I'm slightly terrified, but I can't wait to get my tan and sequins on," she said.
Currently known for appearing on ITV's Loose Women, Jamelia is also a singer and model.
During her 15-year-long career, she has notched up seven UK top ten singles.
Jamelia says she is competitive and would "like to go all the way" by winning.
However, her biggest competitors could be her two daughters: "My girls are amazing dancers. Maybe I'll be able to give them a run for their money, and end their mickey taking of me once and for all!"
Television and radio presenter Anita Rani has become the eleventh contestant to join Strictly Come Dancing.
Anita has presented a host of shows for broadcasters including BBC, Sky, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
"So many elements of Strictly terrify me but I shall try and think #BeyonceAlwaysOnBeat as I hit the dance floor," she said.
Jay McGuiness from The Wanted is the 10th celebrity to join this year's Strictly Coming Dancing.
"Before I was in the band I used to dance. I was basically like a contemporary boy.
"I did delve into the world of hip hop and that was a terrible mistake." He said.
Of all the judges it's Len Goodman he fears the most: "If he critiques your technique then that's scary - because he's like a pro."
Professional boxer Anthony Ogogo will be taking part in this year's Strictly.
He won a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games and has been boxing since he was 12 years old.
"My Mum is a massive fan of the show so I will be trying my hardest to make her proud", he said.
BBC Proms presenter Katie Derham has waltzed into the Strictly line-up.
Known for being the face of the BBC Proms and also presenter on Radio 3 programme Afternoon On 3.
Katie Said: "Strictly Come Dancing is a national treasure, and I'm extremely excited to be part of such a wonderful show."
Georgia May Foote, who plays Katy Armstrong in Coronation Street, is taking part this year.
The 24-year-old started her TV career on Channel 4's Brookside when she was just five years old.
She's also been in Grange Hill, Doctors, Casualty, Heartbeat and Emmerdale.
Georgia said: "I'm scared of getting brain freeze and messing up the dances.''
''But I'm determined not to let that happen because I hope to practise enough and be solid."
She has done a bit of dancing when she was a child ''but it was mostly hip hop. I wasn't allowed to go back to ballet because I had 'naughty toes', so I went to karate instead."
The BBC's Jeremy Vine who presents his own show on Radio 2 was one of the first contestants to be announced.
TV chef Ainsley Harriott is also excited about appearing on the show. He's best known for the series Ready Steady Cook.
He says his dancing experience is limited to "dancing around the kitchen," he says he can't wait to swap the oven gloves for a pair of dancing shoes.
"I'm most looking forward to the discipline and I admire the dedication it takes to be a good dancer."
Actress Kellie Bright is part of the new line-up.
Her performances on the BBC's EastEnders won her 'Best Actress' and 'Best Dramatic Performance' at The British Soap Awards 2015.
She said "It is a fantastic show and one that I've always had a desire to do."
The 13th season of BBC One's Strictly starts in September.
The announcement that BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood will be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing 2015 was made live on BBC Breakfast.

Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell, has been confirmed for this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
Daniel said that he is nervous, despite his many years in show-business.
He said: "I can put a few steps together, but can I dance to the level I need to dance? Well, that's a whole other ball game."

The Scotland assistant was responding to an idea put forward by Fifa president Gianni Infantino to expand the finals from 32 to 48 teams.
"I'd be a fan of any format that gets us to a World Cup," said McGhee.
"The format this time round is pretty difficult and it was shown in the Euros that teams like Iceland can make a fantastic contribution."
Europe will be represented at the 2018 World Cup finals by hosts Russia, the winners of nine qualifying groups and the winners of four play-offs involving the eight best group runners-up.
But Infantino has suggested that more teams could be allowed to qualify in future finals, with 32 teams playing in a preliminary knockout round and the winners progressing to the initial group stage as it is now.
McGhee praised this year's expanded European Championship finals and the role played by smaller nations like Wales, who reached the semi-finals.
"Not just the teams but the supporters of these teams made it a spectacle," he said.
"I know the Tartan Army would anyway and, if there is a route to make it more manageable to get there, I am up for that."
Scotland host Lithuania on Saturday in their second Group F qualifier and McGhee expects the visitors to be a bigger attacking threat than Malta, who his side beat 5-1 away in the opening game.
"Their style is such that I don't think they are a team that are going to come and just sit in against us," he said of the side who have former Hearts striker Edgaras Jankauskas as head coach.
"They are quite prepared to come and get at us a little bit, so I think it is a game that will be a little bit more end-to-end.
"I don't think it will be a game where we are playing possession football at the edge of their box.
"I expect it to be an exciting game. It is going to be much more of a British-style game than many of these games are."
Scotland have faced Lithuania eight times, losing only once and drawing three times.
However, McGhee said: "I think, if we are favourites, it is only because we are at home.
"We've still got to prove that we are better than them.
"We've got to prepare as if this is going to be the hardest game in the entire section."
The Socialist minister insists the summer jobs were legitimate but he has been summoned by the prime minister.
It is alleged that on some occasions the girls were involved in other activities when they were being paid.
Centre-right presidential candidate Francois Fillon is already under investigation for employing his family.
Initially the favourite to win the presidential election in April and May, Mr Fillon is now running third in the opinion polls.
Mr Le Roux's future as a minister appeared to rest with Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve on Thursday, amid reports that he had cancelled his engagements.
"When one is part of the state's authority one is faultless with regard to the institutions and their rules. Otherwise the authority of the state is let down," said Mr Cazeneuve.
The allegations against Mr Le Roux surfaced in the Quotidien TV programme on Monday night, when a reporter approached the minister asking about holiday jobs he had paid his two daughters for between 2009 and 2016.
"Of course I had my daughters working with me particularly during the summers or other school holidays, but never permanently," he told Quotidien.
His daughters began working for him when they were 15 or 16, and between them amassed 24 fixed-term contracts that paid out €55,000 ($60,000; £48,000)
Employing family members is common practice in France's National Assembly and is lawful. However, the programme reported that two of the contracts coincided with an internship and a pre-study course.
One daughter held a three-month internship during the summer of 2013 at Belgian company Yves Le Rocher, Quotidien reported.
Mr Le Roux's office said all the jobs the girls were paid for were completed.
Some of the work, such as editing and research, was carried out while the internship was going on or on extra days, it added. "They did not necessarily require physical presence at the National Assembly."
Mr Le Roux said his situation was different from the Fillon affair. "We're talking about a summer job with an MP."
Francois Fillon's Republican party has called for an immediate investigation. One ex-minister said the party was waiting to see if the financial prosecutor would take on the case "as quickly as he did for Fillon".
Mr Fillon has denied allegations that he misused public funds when his wife, Penelope, was paid €831,400 ($900,000; £710,000) over a period of several years as his parliamentary assistant. Investigators are looking into whether she did the work she was paid for.
Mr Fillon's children were also paid to carry out legal work and there are claims they were not qualified at the time to do so.

At least two people were injured, including the policeman, in the blast at an anti-terrorism court in the city of Karachi.
Some reports say the device was a grenade taken from the defendant.
Police later said it was just a detonator with an explosive element that should have been defused.
The incident took place on Monday at the trial of a man accused of extortion and of carrying out a number of grenade attacks.
Police said several devices had been found when they arrested him.
The device presented in court was at the request of the defence. Judge Shakil Haider then asked how it worked.
A part of the device was pulled from it and it exploded, throwing the judge off his chair.
Senior police official Jamil Ahmed said that explosives around the detonator had been made harmless, but added: "We are investigating as to how the detonator was brought to the court without being defused." | A Chicago panel has released a cache of evidence relating to 101 cases of shootings involving officers and alleged police misconduct.

Mr Thomas died in hospital about an hour after the attack on 1 November.
The defendant has denied manslaughter at his trial at Swansea Crown Court.
Mr Shepherd's barrister Nicola Powell read a dozen character references, including ones from a former teacher and a retired police officer, who described him as popular, polite and respectful.
Earlier, the jury was shown CCTV footage of an incident on Oxford Street in Swansea city centre, involving Mr Thomas.
In the footage, he is seen staggering towards a group of people, before punching a man once in the face, knocking him off his feet to the ground.
Witness Rhys Thomas told the jury that Jonathon Thomas bumped into his friends and wanted to fight him before throwing a punch at him.
"He was fairly intimidating and aggressive towards us," he said.
"He kept on asking me to go round the corner for a fight with him."
During the trial, the prosecution has claimed Mr Shepherd had reacted aggressively when Mr Thomas bumped into him outside the pub in the early hours of the morning.
Michael Jones, prosecuting, had told the jury that the defendant had struck Mr Thomas from behind.
"This was a punch delivered in anger and without any justification," he said.
Mr Shepherd was arrested at his home in Neath later that morning. The court heard he appeared to be in shock when he was informed Mr Thomas was dead.
The judge is expected to begin summing up the case on Tuesday. | A man accused of killing a former rugby player with a punch to the back of the head has been described as a "perfect gentleman" and "exemplary individual". | 36,358,547 | 386 | 36 | false |
Rather, they were looking to use the world's largest sporting event to hopefully achieve a number of company and commercial goals.
"For those firms that did get involved, the main thing was to calculate how they were going to use the sponsorship for their benefit, and how they would then measure their success and rewards in business terms," says the European Sponsorship Association's (ESA) chairman Karen Earl.
"There are a number of reasons why sponsors bought into the Olympics - including it being on their doorstep, it being a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, tapping into the feel-good factor, or just because they were afraid of missing out,
"Some firms looked at getting involved but thought backing the Games did not meet their needs, or was too expensive."
At US multinational P&G - which featured medal-winning machine Michael Phelps on one of its shampoo brands - there were a number of aims in its role as an International Olympic Committee Partner TOP sponsor programme.
That programme covers global sponsorship agreements between firms and the Olympic movement as a whole, and lasts for a four-year cycle, whereas the Tier One programme run by London 2012 organisers Locog was for that one local Games only.
Their deal with the IOC is reported to have cost them $100m (£65m).
The global giant hoped to build its business through increased product sales, launch P&G as a brand separate from the numerous household products it makes, and to motivate and stimulate their workforce.
In association with its "Thank You Mom" advertising campaign around the Olympics, the company made $500m (£325m) in additional sales in 2012, and the Games also brought it massive global media and social media coverage.
"We were very happy with the sales we saw in our host market in the UK, and also around the world in a huge number of markets where we work," P&G's Olympics and Paralympics project director Nathan Homer told the BBC.

"We were particularly pleased with the UK and Ireland," says Mr Homer. "We really wanted the [Olympic] host market to set the standard."
Mr Homer said that the firm made sure it had its products in four million stores around the world during the duration of the Games.
By promoting the P&G name as a stand-alone brand he says customers were encouraged to use some of its dozens of product lines - including the likes of Gillette, Ariel, Pampers, and Wella - when they might not otherwise have done so.
"Sport can offer passion like no other area, and can spread across different consumer groups," he says. "The Olympic Games was a real family event, which allowed all our brands to find their niche with different family members."
At a staffing level, he says the multinational nature of the Olympic Games was used to highlight issues such as diversity awareness.
BT was the official communications services partner of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is also an official partner of Team GB and has backed the British Paralympic Association since 1989.
Their Games sponsor deal was reported to have cost them $63m (£41m).
Ian Livingston, the outgoing chief executive of BT Group said the company had "learned a huge amount" with regards to future projects from delivering the Games' communications.
And, as the company's group marketing and brand director Suzi Williams explains, there were other specific goals.
Source: Locog
"We wanted to increase brand awareness, increase employee awareness and participation, and increase revenue through broadband sales in the UK and through work and services for global clients," she says.
BT said its sponsorship brought in high levels of media coverage, with an estimated (advertising-equivalent) value of £60m ($92m) worth of exposure, not to mention widespread social media coverage.
And Ms Williams said the company's entry into the recent MillwardBrown BrandZ list of top 100 most valuable global brands, was a "brilliant" reflection of the coverage and awareness garnered for BT through its Olympic tie-in.
"Commercially... broadly in the UK we hit all our targets," she adds. "Globally, things took longer, but we think we have done a fine job."
Building on its Games connection, the company is now making the London 2012 international broadcasting centre at the Olympic Park home for its BT Sport TV channels.
And the firm will continue to support the GB Paralympic team to the Rio 2016 Games.
Ms Earl of the ESA said that in the main the Olympics had been "an expensive purchase for sponsors". but for firms that had a clear vision of what they wanted to get out of the deal, then it would have proved to be money well spent.
She said she had been impressed by Lloyd's TSB's and BA's Olympic sponsor campaigns, but added that those companies who had not made the most of their opportunity would not be broadcasting the fact.
Games partners in other London 2012 sponsorship tiers - Cisco, UPS and BMW - have also been praised by the ESA.
"It is always very difficult to tell if a sponsorship did not do well, some firms might say they were using the experience to make future sponsorship opportunities work better," she adds.
She said G4S's experience was an example of how a sponsorship deal had not worked well, following the fiasco of its failure to provide the number of security guards it had been contracted to provide to Olympic venues.
"If you are going to be putting your business in the spotlight to showcase yourself, then you have to make it work perfectly," she says.
"Otherwise it will take a long time to get away from the effects of getting it wrong."
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denies the culpable homicide of 16-year-old Luke Wallace in Baillieston, Glasgow, in June 2016.
He was originally on trial for Luke's murder, but the charge was reduced.
Luke suffered massive blood loss from a stab wound to his groin and died in hospital eight days later.
Prosecutor Jane Farquharson withdrew the murder charge and replaced it with the reduced charge of culpable homicide at the end of the Crown case at the High Court in Glasgow.
The accused teenager said he was walking hand-in-hand with a teenage girl when he was approached by Luke and his friend Josh McFall, 18, on 17 June 2016.
He told the jurors: "Luke had a big rock and Josh had a bit of wood. They walked up to us and shouted: 'Where are you from?'
"I was terrified. I thought I was going to get a serious doing. I just wanted to get away, but there was nowhere to run for safety."
He was asked by defence QC Gordon Jackson "What happened next?" and replied: "Luke threw the rock and it hit me on the head. I screamed.
"I wanted to defend myself. I wanted to hit him back and I didn't know where Josh was.
"I heard a knife drop and saw it. It was in the middle of a traffic island."
He was asked by Mr Jackson: "Were you armed with a knife that night?" and he responded: "No."
He claimed that he and Luke both tried to grab the knife and added: "I got it and as I got up I poked him with the knife and then I ran."
The accused said he ran down lanes and managed to get back to an area in Baillieston called "the Scrannie" where his friends were drinking.
He told the court: "I was still holding the knife in my hand. I'm panicking. I said: 'I've just stabbed somebody.'"
The accused was asked if he thought Luke was badly injured and replied: "I know I got him. There was blood on the knife. I didn't know how bad it was. I just wanted to get my pal who had my bus ticket. I just wanted to go home."
He was asked what happened to the knife and said he gave it to a friend who put it down a drain.
Ms Farquharson asked the teenager why witnesses spoke of him chasing Luke and he replied: "It is lies. I wasn't chasing anyone."
She then said: "The evidence you have given is just a lie. You had the knife that night and you used it."
The accused replied: "No, I didn't. It was self-defence."
It is alleged that the accused chased Luke, from Garrowhill, before striking him on the body with a knife at Glasgow Road near to Maxwell Avenue.
The 17-year-old is also charged with having a lock-back knife and attempting to defeat the ends of justice, by washing clothing he had worn at the time of the alleged culpable homicide.
The trial before judge Lord Woolman continues.

At this year's Wimbledon, Australian player Sam Groth, has hit the fastest, with a 147mph serve whipping past Roger Federer.
A good serve can help you win your games more easily and get you out of trouble if you hit an ace.
But what's the secret behind the skill? We sent Ayshah to Wimbledon to find out and give it a go.
The University of Duesseldorf's philosophy faculty decided on Tuesday that she had carried out "a deliberate deception through plagiarism".
The minister has denied the claims and said she will appeal.
An earlier plagiarism row brought an end to the political career of Germany's defence minister in 2011.
Large parts of Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg's 2006 legal dissertations were found by Bayreuth University to have been copied and he stood down before it issued its damning verdict in May 2011.
Using the same words as Duesseldorf's Heinrich Heine University, it concluded that he had "deliberately deceived".
When Ms Schavan became the second minister in Chancellor Angela Merkel's government to be accused of copying her doctorate, in this case by an anonymous blogger, she insisted she had never "knowingly falsely cited any sources" and promised to respond to the accusations.
But the faculty committee concluded that her work, which dealt with the formation of conscience, included a "substantial number of unaccredited direct quotes from other texts".
In a statement declaring the doctorate invalid and withdrawing it from Ms Schavan, the faculty head Bruno Bleckmann said they had "decided by secret ballot, by 12 votes to two, with one abstention".
The minister herself, 57, was said to be on a five-day education and science co-operation trip to South Africa.. Education minister since 2005, she is described as a close colleague of Chancellor Merkel.
Her lawyers reportedly rejected the university's ruling and said Ms Schavan would appeal.
When the university announced its inquiry, she said she had no intention of standing down.
But the investigation into one of Chancellor Merkel's closest allies is seen as potentially awkward months before Germans vote in federal elections.
The popular German newspaper Bild said the news was a bitter blow to the chancellor, and wondered whether she would need to find a new education minister at the start of her election campaign.

Story of the match:
The defending champions were aiming to become the first nation to retain the title since Brazil in 1962. But, after losing their opening match 5-1 to the Netherlands, they surrendered their crown in a cauldron of noise in the Maracana.
First-half goals from Eduardo Vargas and Charles Aranguiz did the damage as Spain failed to contain the rampant Chileans, or muster a response of any real substance.
Their elimination means they are the fifth defending champions to fail to progress from the group stage at the World Cup.
It was Chile's first competitive victory over Spain in 11 matches - and just reward for an attacking masterclass.
Questions will inevitably be asked about the international futures of Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque and several of his most trusted players, such as goalkeeper Iker Casillas and midfielders Xavi and Xabi Alonso.
There was little sign of shock as the full-time whistle sounded; more despondency and resignation. Chile celebrated, but not wildly; they deserved their victory and will not want to stop there.
Spain must now contest a dead rubber against Australia on 23 June, while Chile and Netherlands meet in an encounter that will determine who finishes top of Group B.
Chile were tipped by many to do well in the competition, but few predicted they would administer the fatal blow to Spain and one of the game's most glittering eras.

Their fans arrived in huge numbers and helped generate an incredible pre-match atmosphere, although a group of them storming the media centre before kick-off provided a sour preamble.
They seemed to enjoy far greater representation inside the ground, and the noise levels rocketed as Jorge Sampaoli's team made an encouraging start - Alonso forced into a vital goalmouth clearance before Gonzalo Jara headed narrowly wide.
Spain were narrow victors when the sides met at the 2010 World Cup, and again in a friendly the following year, but needed a last-minute equaliser to snatch a draw last September.
Chile have been dubbed by some the 'Spain of South America' - a reference to the Spaniards in peak form - and their pace, power and pressing is a sight to behold.
They opened the scoring in style after Alonso carelessly under-hit a pass, allowing Alexis Sanchez to begin a scintillating move that ended with Aranguiz squaring for Vargas to round Casillas and slot home.
Spain responded positively, and predictably enjoyed plenty of possession, but Alonso shot way over the bar and Diego Costa fired wide.
Del Bosque made a massive call by relegating Xavi to the substitutes' bench, moving David Silva into his attacking midfield position and using the younger, quicker Pedro on the right.
But, if anything, Spain looked worse without a man who, while enduring a poor campaign and struggling in Friday's thrashing by Netherlands, has for so long been La Roja's outfield leader, the symbol of their philosophy and one of the best players in the world.
The dropping of centre-back Gerard Pique was less of a surprise but, similarly, did not benefit Spain and their defence looked no more assured or unified with Javi Martinez partnering Sergio Ramos.
They needed to get to half-time without conceding again, but even that proved beyond the European champions as Casillas palmed a Sanchez free-kick straight out to Aranguiz, whose control and finish with the outside of his foot was of the highest order.
Spain finally rallied after the break, Andres Iniesta sending Costa clean through - but Mauricio Isla arrived from right-back with a perfectly-timed challenge. Sergio Busquets then missed an open goal from five yards following Costa's overhead kick.
Isla should have extended Chile's lead only to sky a shot from close range, while at the other end Iniesta and substitute Santi Cazorla were twice denied by Claudio Bravo as Spain bowed out.

Many of them were suspected to be heading to join militant groups such as Islamic State (IS), the agency added.
Others tried to reach "greener pastures" to escape poverty, it said.
Nigeria is Africa's most populous state, and has high levels of poverty.
It has also been hit by a six-year insurgency waged by militant Islamist group Boko Haram, which pledged allegiance to IS in March.
The agency said Nigeria was a "catchment area for recruiters because of the high number of jobless people" in the West African state.
It had therefore intensified immigration checks to bar young Nigerians with "doubtful intentions" from leaving the country.
"The terrorist group has a syndicate that arranges travel documents, visas, ticket and money for their recruits," it added, in a statement.
Officials were also tackling illegal immigration, said Chukwuemaka Obuah, the agency's spokesman.
"We have always had problems of Nigerians going abroad for greener pasture. We look at the age of the intending traveller and the person he is travelling with, put them by the side and profile them thoroughly," he added.
The UN's Office on Drugs and Crime estimates West African trafficking victims, many of whom come from Nigeria, make up about 10% of those forced into sex work in Western Europe.
Last week, India detained two Nigerian students for allegedly trying to cross to Pakistan with the aim of finally reaching Iraq to join IS, media reports said.
Boko Haram's alliance with IS may be motivating young Nigerians to join the Middle Eastern group, reports the BBC's Bashir Sa'ad Abdullahi from Nigeria's capital Abuja.
They may have also been influenced by IS propaganda available on social media sites, he adds.
Why Boko Haram remains a threat

The men are accused of involvement in setting 19-year-old Rodrigo Rojas and 18-year-old Carmen Quintana on fire during a demonstration.
Rodrigo died four days later; Carmen survived and spent years in rehabilitation.
The case was reopened after a military conscript changed his testimony.
His evidence broke a pact of silence lasting nearly three decades by the army over one of the most prominent cases of human rights abuses of Chile's 17-year military rule.
On 2 July 1986 during a protest against the Pinochet government, a military patrol detained Carmen Gloria Quintana, a student of psychology and a young Chilean-born American photographer, Rodrigo Rojas de Negri.
The soldiers poured petrol over them and set fire to them. They then put out the fire and drove them to the outskirts of Santiago and dumped them.
Despite the seriousness of their injuries, the students managed to get help and they were taken to a hospital.
Rodrigo Rojas died four days later. He had been visiting Chile from the United States where he lived with his mother who was a Chilean political exile.
Official accounts of the incident said the two victims accidentally set themselves on fire when constructing a flaming barricade to hold back law enforcement officials.
The attack drew the condemnation of foreign governments and human rights groups in Chile and abroad.
The case was reopened this week when a military conscript, Fernando Guzman, changed his previous evidence.
He said the officers intentionally set the two teenagers on fire before abandoning them in the ditch 20km (12 miles) outside the Chilean capital, Santiago.
He said he and his family had been threatened and he had been ordered to keep silent about what had happened.
Carmen Quintana, who is a scientific attache at the Chilean embassy in Canada, said: "The truth has come late, and I hope that justice comes too. I congratulate this former conscript for his bravery, and for finding the courage to tell the truth."
Rodrigo Rojas's aunt, Amande de Negri told Chilean TV: "That someone would break the silence is something we always hoped for, and finally it happened."

The Football Association and the German Football Association (DFB) are to meet annually for an initial two-year period.
They have signed a memorandum of understanding to start straight away.
"Both parties have a tremendous amount of expertise," said DFB president Reinhard Grindel.
England boss Gareth Southgate spoke about the need adopt a winning mentality that has driven the Germans' international success before Wednesday's friendly in Dortmund.
Grindel added: "I am confident that both the DFB and the FA can benefit from this collaboration.
"I truly believe it will be particularly valuable when it comes to sharing ideas about coach development, as well as scouting and developing young talents.
"The same goes for the work done across the whole management of the association."
It has heard some victims were passed around a group of men at the Wrexham home of Gary Cooke, 64, in the 1980s.
Mr Cooke and six co-defendants deny a range of sex offences against boys aged 10 to 15.
The trial began in April, with the jury starting deliberations on Monday.
The men were charged following an investigation by the National Crime Agency under Operation Pallial.

When Smith was born in April 1996, the Potters were a Championship side - and the Premier League, formed when Stoke were still a third-tier team, was only three years old.
But move forward 20 years to his being voted the EFL's Young Player of the Month for August and - if the judgement of League One Vale's manager Bruno Ribeiro is anything to go by - Smith has a decent chance of one day making it to English football's top flight.
"I'm very happy with him," Ribeiro told BBC Radio Stoke. "For me, he is already a Championship player. In a few years, then Premier League.
"He is fantastic. He is strong, only 20 years old and he is still learning every day. He works very hard at his game."
A thigh injury to summer signing Kjell Knops, one of several new defenders brought in by Ribeiro, forced the new Vale boss into giving Smith a chance in pre-season.
But he has taken that chance so well that, in less than two months, he has become a fixture in central defence, been rewarded with a three-year contract extension and now picked up his first award.
In five league matches in August, Vale won three of them, picked up 10 points, conceded just two goals and Smith scored his first goal - the winner in a 1-0 victory at home to Rochdale.
"I'm on top of the moon," Smith told BBC Radio Stoke. "This is an award that will always mean a lot to me.
"This was the high end of what we were planning when I reported back for pre-season in June. The target was just to get in the first team, play some games and maybe go out on loan. This has exceeded my expectations."
Having spent the whole of last season on loan in the National League down in Devon with Torquay United, Smith was not sure what to expect when Vale manager Rob Page left for Northampton and the Potteries club turned instead to Portuguese former Sheffield United and Leeds United midfielder Ribeiro.
Along with Ribeiro, in an unparalleled summer of change in Burslem, in came 15 summer signings, most of them foreign imports.
Yet Vale, 12th under Page last season, are now fifth in League One, having conceded just nine goals in eight games. Four of those came in one bad afternoon at Bury - and, even then, Smith did enough to earn a personal tribute from Bury's former Vale striker Tom Pope, who labelled him "as brave as a lion".
Not only that, of the 13 goals the club have scored in 10 games, in all competitions, five have come from Smith and his centre-back partner Remi Streete - three by Smith.
"Together they play very well," added Ribeiro. "I am very pleased with them."
"I have to say thanks to Bruno for giving me the opportunity this season," said Smith, born in the nearby Staffordshire village of Madeley. "But what I have most to say thanks for definitely is last year at Torquay.
"That was a big learning curve for me. The step I needed to go forward."
Having stayed locally the previous season, when he was loaned out further down the non-league pyramid to Stafford Rangers, Smith endured a traumatic first half of the season at Plainmoor.
Torquay were in real relegation trouble, winning just three times in 23 games before Christmas, two of which came in their opening three matches.
But a late season run that brought 10 victories in 16 matches allowed the Gulls to stay up in relative comfort, the steadfast Smith making 39 appearances, while earning another tribute from Torquay manager Kevin Nicholson as being a 'freak of nature'.
Vale chairman Norman Smurthwaite, who now has a potentially profitable asset on his hands, has already gone on record as saying that Smith went to Torquay a boy "and came back a man".
"Living away from home made me grow up quickly," said Smith. "But, in my eyes, the key thing is playing games."
By way of advice to two fellow Vale youngsters both out on loan at National League sides this season, midfielder Ryan Lloyd at Chester and goalkeeper Sam Johnson at Gateshead, Smith added: "Playing first-team football week in, week out is the key to success. If you're sitting around, you're not improving."
The list of former winners of the Young Player of the Month award who have gone on to play in the Premier League is a long one, going right back to the first, Victor Moses, in December 2009.
Significant progress at Premier League level has also been made by Charlie Austin (March 2010), Connor Wickham (April 2010), Steven Caulker (November 2010), Danny Ings (April 2011), Jonjo Shelvey (November 2011), Wilfried Zaha (October 2012), Sam Byram (February 2013), Dele Alli (August 2014) and Demarai Gray (December 2014).
But Smith is keeping his feet firmly on the floor for now.
"It's a bit too early for that sort of thing," added Smith. "But to have my name alongside names like that will give me a lot of confidence in future."
The Marussia driver, 25, suffered a diffuse axonal injury when he crashed into a recovery vehicle at Suzuka on 5 October in wet conditions.
The Frenchman had surgery at the Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi where he is still receiving care.
His family said in a statement that the Frenchman "continues to fight".
They added: "Although we have no new information to give, we recognise that there are a huge number of people all around the world who are supporting Jules and willing him on in his fight.
"We owe it to his many fans to acknowledge the continued outpouring of messages, and to provide some information, however brief it may be."
Two weeks ago, Bianchi's father Philippe described the situation as "desperate" and added that the family hoped to transfer him, potentially to Tokyo, if his condition improved.
However, on Thursday the family said: "At this time his fight will continue here in Yokkaichi. We are taking things step by step."
Bianchi collided with a tractor vehicle that was recovering Adrian Sutil's Sauber, which had crashed on the previous lap.
Following an investigation into the crash, governing body the FIA is to trial a "virtual safety car" during first and second practice for this weekend's US Grand Prix.
The system, which forces drivers to slow in an accident zone, is aimed at eliminating the possibility of a repeat of the incident that left Bianchi in a critical condition.
The 36 year old admitted killing 77 people when he bombed central Oslo and then went on a shooting spree at a youth camp on a nearby island in 2011.
Breivik has been studying certain course modules since first applying to the University of Oslo in 2013, but he will now be taught as a full student.
He will have no contact with staff or students as he studies from his cell.
In 2012, he was sentenced to the maximum 21 years in prison for carrying out Norway's worst massacre since World War Two.
This jail term can be extended if he is deemed to remain a danger to society.
The university's rector, Ole Petter Ottersen, said that Norwegian inmates "have a right to pursue higher education in Norway if they meet the admission requirements and are successful in competition with other applicants."
Writing on the university's website, Mr Ottersen admitted that the university had faced "moral dilemmas" about Breivik's admission.
The rector added that the university had students whose family members had been killed by Breivik. However, he said that the university would abide by its rules "for our own sake, not for his."
As he studies from his prison, Breivik will be subject to strict regulations. He will be allowed no access to internet resources or receive any personal guidance from tutors. All communication with the university will take place via "a contact person in prison".
Breivik first applied to study in 2013 but did not meet entry requirements as he had never completed secondary school. Instead, he was allowed to study certain political science modules.
His deadly rampage at a Labour Party youth camp on Utoeya island was found by an Oslo court to have been a premeditated act of terrorism.
He harboured extremist right-wing views and claimed he had reacted against what he saw as a Marxist-Islamic takeover of Europe.
The 43-year-old, who played 54 Test matches and 127 one-day internationals, replaces Paul Farbrace, who left at the end of last season.

Adams, who has been president of the Federation of International Cricketers' Association since 2008, played international cricket for nine years and retired from the Test arena with a highest score of 208 not out, against New Zealand in 1996, and an average of 41.26.
Since retiring in 2004, Adams has coached the West Indies Under-19s team and has been technical director of Jamaica Cricket.
"I would like to make an assumption that all of them are looking to grow in the game. Once youngsters come with that impetus to move forwards, it makes the job of the coach that much easier," he continued.
"The main thing is the environment where they are not afraid to express themselves and have that confidence."
Since Kent parted company with former coach Farbrace in September, the club have endured an arduous selection process, narrowing the initial 50 applications to a shortlist of six.
From there, the applicants undertook psychometric tests and interviews before Adams was appointed on 22 December.
"We wanted to be thorough in our approach and play the percentages to get the best possible candidate," chief executive Jamie Clifford explained.
"Yes there have been things we've had to muddle through but everybody understood that it was important to run the process properly to get the right person."

Adams will return to the Caribbean on Thursday to arrange his affairs and work visa, with the aim of beginning full time at Kent at start of February.
Kent chairman of cricket Graham Johnson added: "Jimmy has a strong desire to see young players develop and this shone through in our discussions with him.
"We welcome him to Kent and wish him the very best of luck."
He was speaking during a brief - and rare - encounter with journalists at the end of a visit by Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
But Mr Castro also cautioned against expecting too much more from the first-ever Communist Party conference in Cuba, to be held at the end of this month.
"This is an internal matter of the party, to improve it," he said. "It needs a lot of improving in many senses, to adapt to the times we live in."
Raul Castro is also first secretary of the Communist Party, the only political party on the island.
Over the past year Cuba has opened up more of its largely state-controlled economy, expanding self-employment in sectors such as hairdressing and watch repairs.
More than 357,000 people now have licences to trade, helping boost their income considerably beyond the average state salary of just $20 (£13) a month.
Larger, privately run restaurants have also been permitted as Cuba attempts to slim-down the state payroll, and cut costs. The goal is to transfer up to 40% of the workforce into the private sector by 2015, where they'll pay taxes for the first time.
Many moves - such as a decision to allow Cubans to buy and sell property - were approved during a rare Communist Party congress last April.
That congress, Raul Castro said, was the "defining event".
It endorsed what's referred to here as the "updating" or "modernisation" of Cuba's economy, described as critical to securing the long-term future of the socialist revolution.
"It is proceeding without haste, so that we don't make new mistakes," the president said of that process, pointing out that each legal change required "hundreds of hours of study".
"How long it takes will depend on many factors… but little by little, it's being implemented."
Raul Castro formally took over as president in 2008 from his elder brother, Fidel.
Now 85, the iconic leader of Cuba's revolution appears in public very rarely - though Fidel Castro continues to write regular "reflections", most recently on the environment and American politics.
On Wednesday he met Iran's president, in a show of support for an old ally at a time when America and Europe are tightening sanctions on Tehran over its controversial nuclear programme.
The encounter was held away from the cameras but Mahmoud Ahmadinejad later described Fidel Castro as "fit and well", and still an avid follower of current affairs.
"They spent two hours talking," Raul Castro confirmed, just a couple of weeks after the latest internet rumour that Fidel had died.
"I asked who spoke most and [Mr Ahmadinejad] told me Fidel," he laughed. "It's a sign that he's well. Really very well."
Rachel Slater, 24, and Tim Newton, 27, failed to return from an outing on Ben Nevis at the weekend.
The risk of avalanches and bad weather had hampered efforts to make searches from the air and on the ground.
The helicopter made several sweeps of the mountain and surrounding area before its crew was stood down.
Ms Slater's parents have arrived in Scotland from Canada where she and her family moved to from the UK about 10 years ago.
In a joint statement, the families of Ms Slater and Mr Newton said: "We are extremely grateful to members of the emergency services and search and rescue personnel who are searching for Rachel and Tim.
"The overwhelming response from members of the public and the climbing community has greatly assisted the search effort and we appreciate all the support and words of encouragement.
"As a family we urge anyone who was in the Ben Nevis area last weekend and may have seen or spoken to Rachel and Tim at any time to get in touch."
The statement added: "We think Rachel was climbing in a turquoise jacket and purple helmet. Tim may have been wearing a red jacket, similar to the photo in circulation.
"As the search continues we remain hopeful Rachel and Tim will be found and reunited with their families and friends."
An avalanche on Creag Meagaidh in the western Highlands that resulted in a man's death saw a rescue helicopter diverted from the search for Ms Slater and Mr Newton on Wednesday.
Ms Slater and Mr Newton, from Bradford in West Yorkshire, were thought to have been camping near the Charles Inglis Clark memorial hut on the north side of Ben Nevis over the weekend.
The alarm was raised on Monday when they failed to return.
Speaking after filing his official candidacy, he denied suggestions that violence was spiralling out of control.
He said there was no need to halt elections, despite violent protests sparked by his presidential bid.
Eighteen people have died in the recent unrest, the worst in Burundi since a civil war ended in 2005.
"Burundians have no problem with elections... because 99% of the country is peaceful," Mr Nkurunziza said.
"These demonstrations have turned into insurrection, but it is something that will be controlled... and I assure you that the elections will go well."

The president compared his country's situation with Nigeria, where he said polls had gone ahead in April despite there being "no security" because of the insurgency by Boko Haram Islamist militants.
The head of the electoral commission Pierre Ndayicariye echoed the president's position, telling the BBC that the polls, due to be held in June, will not be postponed.
The UN said on Friday that more than 50,000 Burundians have fled their country since April because of fears over pre-election violence.
Mr Ndayicariye urged those who have fled "to come back, because their vote is very important in ensuring a democratic Burundi".
Burundi's constitutional court ruled on Monday that Mr Nkurunziza can run for a third term.
AU commission chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said on Thursday that elections could not be held in Burundi in the current climate, and expressed doubts about whether the move was constitutional.
The US has accused Mr Nkurunziza of violating the peace accord which ended the brutal 12-year civil war by seeking re-election.
Speaking after a closed-door meeting on Burundi at the UN Security Council on Friday, America's UN ambassador Samantha Power said the US was considering "targeted measures including visa bans or sanctions" against those involved in organising or taking part in violence against protesters.
Opposition and civil society groups insist that a third-term bid is unconstitutional, but the president argues his first term does not count as he was appointed by parliament, not directly elected by the people.
Mr Nkurunziza, a former rebel leader, has ruled Burundi for nearly 10 years.
They say low air pressure, high humidity and an unusually absent wind played key roles in making the heat unbearable but they do not know why such conditions prevailed at this time of the year.
The temperature forecast for the heatwave peak in Karachi last week was 43C, according to meteorologists in Pakistan.
The prediction was accurate but other factors made the heat feel unbearable, they say.
More than 1,000 people have died in Pakistan in the worst heatwave in three decades.
In neighbouring India, the official death figure exceeded 2,000, although reported cases were put at more than 3,000.
"In Karachi, it felt like 49C and that is what we call the heat index," said Muhammad Hanif, director of Pakistan's National Weather Forecasting Centre.
"The heat index was higher than the actual temperature because air pressure was quite low and the humidity was very high in that area.
"The low pressure, which is very unusual in the month of June in that part of Pakistan, totally cut off the sea breeze and made the heat unbearably high."
Indian scientists are also seeing unusual meteorological conditions.
"Coastal regions (ease) the heating process by settling in the sea breeze during late evenings which minimises the accumulated stress on the human body," said LS Rathore, director general of the Indian Meteorological Department.
"This year, that did not happen, and what we had was basically a prolonged continental heating."
The climate change chief at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, R Krishnan, said there was a limited scientific explanation for this.
"The sustained warming persisting for several days is linked with atmospheric circulation changes.
"We don't know what is driving those circulation patterns which are producing some kind of descending motion and maintaining the warm conditions."
The director of Pakistan's National Weather Forecasting Centre, Mr Hanif, explained in detail the conditions in Karachi.
"The vortex (low pressure) area that had developed in the North Arabian sea at first appeared in the upper atmosphere," he said.
"A few days later it descended on the surface and was converted into low pressure area.
"It was this low air pressure and high humidity that made the heat unbearable in Karachi and people felt as if it was 49C while the actual temperature was 43C.
"Whereas in the southern part of Pakistan, the recorded temperature was 47C and yet people felt as if it was just around 41C because that part had high air pressure and low humidity and therefore no one died there.
"What has happened in Karachi has been happening increasingly in several locations in South Asia for the past few years but we don't know what causes it and the region has not taken any initiative in understanding it so far."
Indian climatologist Krishnan of IIMT agreed that much remained to be understood.
"We need to find out why these unusual circulations happened at this point of time," he said.
"Of course, people have documented by how much the temperature has increased and so on but a lot more fundamental work needs to be done to understand the dynamics of these heatwaves.
"I have asked my colleagues to look into it."
Scientists in the region say climate change has certainly intensified heatwaves in the same way it has accelerated other extreme weather events including floods, droughts, wildfires, among others.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN body on climate science, has long warned that heatwaves would become increasingly extreme in South Asia.
"Warming has occurred, at a country scale, across most of South Asia over the 20th century and into the 2000s," reads the fifth assessment report of the IPCC.
"There were more temperature extremes," the report said, putting this statement under a 'high confidence' heading.
"Heatwave frequency has increased since the middle of the 20th century in large parts of Asia."
Scientists say heatwaves have not been given due attention despite that knowledge.
"And that is because it is a slow evolving scenario unlike other fast events like tropical cyclone or flooding," says Qamar Zaman Chaudhry, a climate scientist and special adviser to the World Meteorological Organisation for Asia.
"So, when you have something that evolves slowly, it is not addressed urgently or with seriousness.
"This has been the case with heatwaves in our region."
More than 80,000 people are expected to attend the event over the weekend, with many camping.
The festival is being held at the Perthshire estate after moving from Balado.
Acts set to perform include the Libertines, Kasabian, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and David Guetta.
The festival moved from its traditional Balado home after fears were raised about an oil pipeline running under the site.
But the move sparked some local controversy around Strathallan.
After a lengthy planning battle over issues including wildlife and transport, DF Concerts won permission to hold the festival at Strathallan for the next three summers.
Coaches are running to the festival grounds near Auchterarder from around Scotland, and provisions have been put in place on the local road network.
Police and festival organisers have issued extensive advice to revellers ahead of the event, with strict rules in place including bans on selfie sticks, flagpoles, flares, nitrous oxide and so-called legal highs.
The festival arena opens to fans on Friday, although many opt to also camp over on the Thursday night. Weather forecasts predict a mix of rain and sunshine through the weekend.
Festival director Geoff Ellis said: "We're starting a new chapter for the festival at Strathallan and creating brand new memories for thousands of music fans.
"We have the UK's best line-up and there's no doubt it will be the weekend of the summer.
"My message to fans when they get here is to respect the site, look after yourself, your friends and your camping neighbours - and most of all, have a fantastic time."
They say the method should help with donor shortages since it does not require a perfect cell match.
Mohammed Ahmed, who is nearly five years old, was among the first three children in the world to try out the new treatment.
He has severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome and had been waiting for a suitable donor for years.
Mohammed, who lives in Milton Keynes, was referred to Great Ormond Street Hospital when he was a year old.
His condition - a weak immune system - makes him more susceptible to infections than most, and a bone marrow transplant is the only known treatment.
While Mohammed was on the transplant waiting list, he became extremely sick with swine flu.
At that time, his doctors decided Mohammed's only real hope was to have a mismatched bone-marrow transplant, with his father acting as the donor.
Mohammed's dad, Jamil, agreed to give the experimental therapy a go.
Before giving his donation, Jamil was first vaccinated against swine flu so that his own bone-marrow cells would know how to fight the infection.
Mohammed's doctors then modified these donated immune cells, called "T-cells", in the lab to engineer a safety switch - a self-destruct message that could be activated if Mohammed's body should start to reject them once transplanted.
Rejection or graft-v-host disease is a serious complication of bone-marrow transplants, particularly where tissue matching between donor and recipient is not perfect, and is one of the most difficult challenges faced by patients and their doctors.
Mismatched transplants in children - where the donor is not a close match for the child - are usually depleted of T-cells to prevent graft-v-host disease, but this causes problems in terms of virus infections and leukaemia relapse.
The safety switch gets round this - plenty of T-cells to be transfused and later killed off if problems do arise.
Thankfully, the transplant carried out in 2011 was a success - Mohammed's doctors did not need to use the safety switch.
Although Mohammed still has to take a number of medicines to ward off future infections, his immune system is now in better shape.
Jamil said: "We waited for a full match but it did not come. By the grace of God, we took the decision to have the treatment.
"Now he is all right. Sometimes we forget what he has been through. We are just so grateful."
He said Mohammed would still need close monitoring and regular health checks over the coming years, but his outlook was good.
Dr Waseem Qasim, ‎consultant in paediatric immunology at Great Ormond Street Hospital and lead author for the study, said the new approach should hopefully mean children who received a mismatched transplant could enjoy the same chance of success as those given a fully matched transplant.
"We think Mohammed is cured of his disorder. He should be able to lead a fairly normal life now."
A full report about Mohammed's therapy and the research by Great Ormond Street Hospital, King's College London and the Institute of Child Health has just been published in PLoS One journal.
There are currently about 1,600 people in the UK waiting for a bone-marrow transplant and 37,000 worldwide.
Just 30% of people will find a matching donor from within their families.
Donations involve collecting blood from a vein or aspirating bone marrow from the pelvis using a needle and syringe.
Fred Olsen agreed to the group settlement after holidaymakers suffered gastric illnesses on the the Boudicca between October 2009 and May 2010.
Passengers' symptoms included diarrhoea, vomiting and severe stomach cramps.
Fred Olsen said all its ships met the highest standards of health, safety and hygiene at all times.
Luke and Emma Ryan, from Petersfield, Hampshire, spent Christmas 2009 and New Year with their five-year-old daughter on the ship.
Mr Ryan, 41, said: "It was a disaster... Instead of opening presents on Christmas morning, I had to be seen by a nurse.
"The cruise was cut short by a day due to the illness and, to be frank, the end could not have come soon enough. We hope this settlement will mean we can now move on with our lives."
Clare Pearson, of law firm Irwin Mitchell, said: "We have heard a range of stories of how so many people's breaks - which were often booked as luxury, once-in-a-lifetime trips to celebrate Christmas, wedding anniversaries and birthdays - were ruined by illness."
A Fred Olsen spokeswoman said: "Unfortunately, from October 2009 to May 2010, there was a higher incidence than usual of gastric illness, also known as norovirus or winter vomiting virus, within communities in the United Kingdom, which is commonly identifiable in areas where people reside in close proximity.
"Most people do not report incidences but on a cruise ship, where movement is restricted, cases are particularly highlighted.
"The health, safety and well-being of all our guests and crew remains our utmost priority at all times, and we believe that our systems for preventing the spread of illness on board our ships are amongst the best within the industry."
Yuan, who made his debut at a ranking event aged 13 at the 2013 Shanghai Masters, will next play Graeme Dott.
World champion Stuart Bingham meets Ian Burns next after beating Sam Baird 5-3.
Burns whitewashed two-time winner Peter Ebdon to progress, while Judd Trump will face Jimmy Robertson next after a walkover against Stuart Carrington.
Amateur Yuan made breaks of 51, 102 and 55 as he beat world number 13 Gould, who last month won the German Masters.
"Two wins in a row is a breakthrough for me," said Yuan, who beat Andrew Higginson in the wildcard round.
"My parents are not with me because their presence would have made me nervous, which has happened before."
In other first-round ties, Kyren Wilson beat fellow Englishman Tom Ford 5-3, while Scot Rhys Clark edged past Mark Davis 5-4.
There were also wins for Martin O'Donnell, Ryan Day, Darryl Hill, Marco Fu, Mark King, Lee Walker and Rod Lawler.
The ranking event is the last before the season-ending World Championship in Sheffield, which starts on 16 April.

Ukip has confirmed that Arthur Misty Thackeray, has temporarily stood down.
A spokesman said it would be "inappropriate" to comment during a live police investigation.
The Crown Office confirmed that Mr Thackeray, 55, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday, charged with six offences.
He was charged under section 7 (1) of the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009 Section 7(1) which relates to sexual verbal communication with someone who has not given consent.
Governing body the FIA has told teams it wants to introduce a device called a 'halo', designed to protect drivers' heads from large airborne debris.
The FIA sees no reason why it cannot be introduced and is working with teams to finalise plans, BBC Sport has learned.
GP Drivers' Association chairman Alexander Wurz said drivers were "happy" a commitment had been made.
Wurz made clear last week, before a meeting of F1's technical chiefs, that the drivers felt it was time for the 'halo' to be introduced.
Wurz told BBC Sport: "Obviously the drivers are happy that the technical team representatives agreed for the additional head protection to come in for 2017 following the drivers' recommendation and the FIA research.
"We will now enter the design phase, where the drivers need to be open to a slightly different visibility spectrum due to the additional structure. I am also curious as to how the teams will make the new solution look cool and fast."
The FIA has focused on the halo after tests of a number of devices revealed it was the best compromise in terms of increasing safety with the fewest side-effects, such as compromised vision or extrication in the event of an accident.
The device is in the shape of an ellipse above the driver, attached to the car on each side of the rear of the cockpit and with a single strut in front of the driver.
Teams are analysing how the device can be incorporated into the car's structure, with all teams using the same design.
The FIA is also investigating the possibility of using a bullet-proof screen as part of the device to further enhance protection, although it remains to be seen whether that is incorporated on the device's introduction in 2017.
Increased driver head protection has been pursued by the FIA ever since the death of Ayrton Senna in 1994.
The Brazilian legend was killed when a suspension arm pierced his helmet after a wheel was torn off in a crash at the San Marino Grand Prix.
Until now, most developments have centred on reducing a driver's vulnerability to side impacts, by raising and strengthening the cockpit sides.
The FIA has been researching ways of protecting drivers from impacts from the front or above and work intensified following two incidents in 2009.
Henry Surtees, son of the 1964 F1 world champion John Surtees, was killed by a loose wheel in a Formula Two race, while Ferrari driver Felipe Massa suffered a fractured skull when hit by a suspension piece from another car at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The halo is unlikely to have prevented the injuries suffered by Frenchman Jules Bianchi, who died last July, nine months after his Marussia collided with a recovery vehicle during the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.
But it might stop incidents like the one that killed English IndyCar driver Justin Wilson last August. He was struck by debris from an earlier crash.
Det Supt Steve Fulcher did not caution Christopher Halliwell before the former taxi driver led him to the body of Becky Godden in 2011.
As a result, Halliwell was never charged over her death.
In October 2012, Halliwell was jailed for life for the murder of 22-year-old Sian O'Callaghan.
Mr Fulcher was brought before the formal misconduct hearing after an inquiry by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
The IPCC found Mr Fulcher had breached the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (Pace) and it recommended Wiltshire Police should consider a charge of gross misconduct against Mr Fulcher.
The hearing is due to continue tomorrow.
Miss Godden was last seen alive by a police officer in Swindon in December 2002.
Halliwell led police to her body in a shallow grave in Eastleach, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, in 2011, shortly after he confessed to killing 22-year-old Miss O'Callaghan, from Swindon.
In October 2012 the former taxi driver was jailed for life for Miss O'Callaghan's murder.
However, a High Court judge ruled his confessions over Miss Godden were inadmissible, as there had been "wholesale and irretrievable breaches" of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (Pace) guidelines.
Under Pace rules, which govern the questioning of suspects, Halliwell should have been cautioned several times during cross-examination.
But during a court hearing in 2012, Mr Fulcher, who advised officers across the country on how to conduct murder investigations, admitted he had not "considered it".
He added: "I believed that again, the right thing to do was take the information he was prepared to give, but I accept he was not cautioned at that time."
Mr Fulcher also admitted during cross-examination that he had become "frustrated" that Halliwell had refused to answer any more questions, having finally spoken to a solicitor.
"I thought it was utterly ridiculous that someone would take me, 12 other people and a surveillance helicopter to the deposition site of two bodies and then seek to find some loophole or quirk in the law to get away from the fact he was a multiple murderer," he said.
The mass of rock tumbled onto the line near Kemble in Gloucestershire on Monday.
It caused disruption to services between Swindon and Gloucester with trains being diverted via Bristol Parkway.
National Rail warned trains may still be cancelled, delayed by up to 15 minutes or diverted.
Renè Tkáčik, 44, died as nearly a tonne of wet concrete was poured on to him.
The two other incidents saw a worker injured when a tipper truck crushed his leg, while another man was injured when a high pressure mixture struck him.
At Southwark Crown Court the companies admitted the health and safety breaches.
BFK - joint venture contractors comprising of BAM Nuttall, Ferrovial Agroman (UK) and Kier Infrastructure and Overseas - were fined £300,000 in relation to Mr Tkáčik; £600,000 for the serious leg injuries to Terrence Hughes and £165,000 for the injuries Alex Vizitiu who hurt his head and suffered hip injuries.
They were taken to court by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
HSE head of operations Annette Hall said: "Had simple measures... been taken, all three incidents could have been prevented, and Renè Tkáčik may not have died.
"All three workers were taking part in one of the most important and challenging infrastructure projects of the decade. It was this joint venture's duty to protect its dedicated and highly-skilled workforce.
"On these three occasions, BFK failed in its duty, with tragic consequences for Renè Tkáčik and his family."
During sentencing, Judge Beddoe said: "The fines I impose do not and cannot attempt to place value on human life.
"The deceased was a very talented and industrious man who devoted his life to his family, in particular his daughter, his wife and his mother."
At Mr Tkáčik's inquest, the court heard that he was a "hugely experienced" worker when he died in 2014.
He had been working in the UK to earn money to send home to his family in Slovakia so he could pay for his daughter Esther to go to university, a statement from his wife Renata said.
The Irish Taoiseach will be the first foreign leader to visit Downing Street since Mrs May became prime minister.
The two are likely to focus on economic and border issues arising from Brexit.
The TUC has said the outline of an "all-Ireland" economic and security agreement is needed before the UK can press ahead with EU exit negotiations.
It is one of the five "tests" that the trade union group says the government must meet before it triggers Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - the formal mechanism for notifying the EU's other 27 members of the UK's intention to leave which will kick start the legal process of separation.
Mrs May has said this will not happen this year as the UK prepares its strategy, consults with the devolved administrations, business and industry and lays the ground work for what is expected to be several years of tough bargaining.
Reality Check: What does Brexit mean for the Irish border?
Reality Check: Will there be a referendum on a united Ireland?
Tuesday's talks with Mr Kenny are the latest in a series of one-to-one meetings that Mrs May is having with EU leaders after becoming PM.
She has already met German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande.
The meeting is expected to focus on the implications of Brexit for the UK's strong trade links with the Republic of Ireland, and the future of the common travel area (CTA), an open borders arrangement between the two nations dating back to the 1920s.
Questions have been raised about the future of the CTA - which allows people to move freely between the two countries and across land borders with minimal checks - given that limits on the free movement of people into the UK from the EU are expected.
Brexit will leave the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic as the UK's land frontier with the EU, leading some to fear the institution of fixed controls across the border and stricter measures elsewhere.
Speaking during a visit to Belfast on Monday, in which she met unionist and republican political leaders, Mrs May said "no-one wanted a return to the borders of the past" and her aim was to deliver "a practical solution for everybody".
In a statement, Mr Kenny said the meeting would be an opportunity for "a strategic and constructive discussion on the impact of the referendum and how we are going to work together to protect the interests of all our citizens on these islands".
The TUC said putting in place new immigration arrangements that distinguished between Irish citizens and those from the rest of the EU entering the UK should be one of the first priorities for the UK government in its Brexit planning.
"The only way to ensure that the UK's Brexit negotiations do not cause incalculable harm to the peace process, to the UK-Ireland economy and to the people of the two countries is to be clear in advance about the settlement that will be needed," said general secretary Frances O'Grady.
"That means a prior agreement must be made between the UK government, the Irish government and the Northern Ireland administration, covering the economy, migration and the peace process."
More generally, the TUC said unions must have a voice in Brexit talks to ensure the interests of "left-behind Britain" were represented and the desire of working people who voted to leave to have greater control of their their lives was fulfilled.
Warning that leaving the EU could end up benefiting an economic elite unless a clear plan was put in place to protect wages, investment and maintain demand, Ms O'Grady said a national debate was needed on options for post-Brexit Britain.
Clear aims and realistic objectives must be mapped out before Article 50 was triggered, she said, including a plan to support industries likely to be most affected to prevent the risk of an economic downturn.
The 41-year-old former Wales defender had been in charge of Vale since October 2014 and led them to a 12th-placed finish in League One this term.
The Cobblers have agreed compensation with Page's former club and he replaces Chris Wilder, who left last week.
"We are pleased to have recruited an outstanding young manager like Rob," said chairman Kelvin Thomas.
"After an excellent playing career at all levels, Rob is an energetic, young and ambitious manager, but someone who has also managed nearly 100 games in League One.
"He knows what the level is all about and that was important to us in our search."
Page had a year left on his deal at Port Vale, where he had been youth team coach, assistant manager and caretaker manager following Micky Adams' resignation in September 2014.
He had been linked with the Sheffield United job, which was taken by Wilder, but joins a club which won League Two by 13 points last season.
The ex-Blades and Watford defender will be joined by performance coach John Harbin, with further backroom additions to be announced.
Following Page's departure, midfielder Michael Brown has been added to the first-team coaching staff at Vale Park, and will "assist the chairman in the process of appointing a new manager and with player recruitment for the time being".
All five went to the Rainbow in Digbeth on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.
Police believe pills were distributed inside the club by a woman and two men, one of whom may have been wearing a fluorescent jacket.
Two men are in hospital where one is fighting for his life and the other is stable. Two other men and a woman were treated and are recovering at home.
Birmingham Police wrote on their facebook page: "We're issuing a warning about a 'bad batch' of a suspected class A drug which has hospitalised five people.
"Any users are urged to exercise extreme caution and dial 999 at the first sign of becoming unwell.
"Anyone who was at the club last night and has any information that could help us should contact Detective Sergeant Clare Burman." | When some of the biggest national and international brands decided to sponsor last year's London 2012 Olympics, they were looking for more than merely plastering Games logos across their products.

The national newspaper's editorial board, which has never taken sides in a presidential election, stopped short of endorsing Hillary Clinton but declared Mr Trump "unfit for the presidency".
"This year, one of the candidates - Republican nominee Donald Trump - is, by unanimous consensus of the Editorial Board, unfit for the presidency," the board wrote.
The newspaper outlined eight reasons to support its stance, describing Mr Trump as a "serial liar" who "traffics in prejudice" and has "coarsened the national dialogue".
It also highlighted Mrs Clinton's flaws, advising readers to vote for a third-party candidate if they cannot support her.
"Whatever you do, however, resist the siren song of a dangerous demagogue," it concluded.
The newspaper is hardly the first publication to revise its editorial policy in this year's race.
A string of conservative-leaning newspapers have railed against Mr Trump, including the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Arizona Republic, which backed Mrs Clinton in its first endorsement for a Democrat in 126 years.
The publication subsequently received death threats.
US debate: Five Twitter takeaways
Key issues - where candidates stand
How does the US election work?
In an age saturated in social media and marked by an increasingly fragmented media landscape, the role of newspaper endorsements appears to be dwindling.
In fact, almost seven in 10 Americans said their local newspaper's endorsement had no impact on who they cast their ballot for in 2008, according to a Pew Research Center study.
But Keven Ann Willey, editorial page editor for the Dallas Morning News - which has endorsed Mrs Clinton - told the BBC it is because of the wealth of information online that it is more important than ever for institutions rooted in communities to stand up.
"At a time when there are so many voices, we need to speak up and do our civic responsibility to not be over-shouted," she said.
Who is ahead in the polls?
48%
Hillary Clinton
46%
Donald Trump
Last updated September 30, 2016
The conservative Dallas Morning News recommended Mrs Clinton for president earlier this month, backing a Democrat for the first time since 1940.
Though the editorial prompted backlash, Mrs Willey said the board felt it was the right thing to do.
"We did consider a no-recommendation," she said, "but voters have to make a choice and encouraging voters not to participate didn't seem right to us".
But recent research shows that newspapers like that Dallas Morning News, which have bucked their own history, are the type of unexpected endorsements that could make a difference.
A recent study by economists Agustin Casas (CUNEF, Madrid), Yarine Fawaz (CEMFI, Madrid) and Andre Trindade (FGV, Rio de Janeiro) found that "surprising" endorsements can influence modern presidential elections.
The team examined betting markets, specifically the "daily trading prices of the contract 'Obama to win the election', on the same days of newspaper endorsements during the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.
The study found that endorsements did improve a candidate's odds of winning, particularly if they were consistent with the newspaper's style and rhetoric, but still come as a surprise to the publication's endorsement history.
Clinton gathers Republican endorsements
Lay off a woman's size, Trump
For example, the study points to the Chicago Tribune endorsing Mr Obama in 2008 and 2012. While the newspaper's editorial board is historically conservative, the tone of the paper tends to be more moderate.
In backing Mr Obama, the publication remained consistent with its style and language, but made a surprise endorsement by declining to back its typical Republican choice.
"In this election we're seeing many of these type of surprising endorsements," Mr Casas said.
That may be because Mr Trump is not a typical Republican candidate, which means a conservative newspaper's refusal to endorse him does not necessarily contradict its rhetoric.
"In some sense, the conservative newspapers are more free to endorse who they want without seeming inconsistent to what they are preaching," Mr Casas said.
Mr Casas and his team expanded their research on a study published in 2011 that also reached a similar conclusion by looking at the newspaper endorsement effect on the 2000 and 2004 elections.
Brian Knight, a political scientist at Brown University and a co-author of the study, said crossover endorsements had an overall effect of convincing 1-2% of readers to shift positions in those elections.
Though newspaper circulation has fallen nearly 20% since 2004, Mr Knight said a lot of these unusual endorsements from conservative publications will probably have a big influence on the narrow slice of voters who have yet to make up their mind.
In fact, in such a tight race, a rare endorsement in a swing state could shift the outcome, he added.
For example, the Cincinnati Enquirer's support for Mrs Clinton could sway undecided voters in Ohio, a key US battleground state.
Meanwhile, the Arizona Republic's editorial against Mr Trump may not matter as much in a red state that has not been won by a Democrat since Bill Clinton in 1996. Before that, Harry Truman was the last Democrat to win there in 1948.
Paul Beck, a political science professor at Ohio State University who has followed elections for decades, told the BBC newspaper endorsements tend to matter the most to voters "at the margins".
As the race tightens 40 days before the election, reaching those undecided voters "at the margins" may matter most.
In fact, online research firm YouGov estimates about 8% of registered voters who plan to cast a ballot are still undecided.
"There are so many undecided voters in this race fishing around for some kind of guidance for what to do," he said.
These voters, he added, tend to be a mix of people who may not pay much attention to news but skim headlines, and others who are engaged but still uncertain of how they will vote.
"That surprise factor, when a newspaper deviates from its traditional posture, that sends a power signal to readers," he said. "I think it is going to make a lot of people sit up and pay attention." | USA Today has broken with tradition for the first time in its 34-year history and issued a scathing editorial against Republican nominee Donald Trump. | 37,522,310 | 1,372 | 32 | false |
The delegation, which also included representatives from the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and the SNP, handed a petition to Downing Street on Monday.
It calls for the UK voting system to be changed to one of proportional representation, saying the current set up has "failed voters".
Under the current first-past-the-post system, the winner takes all.
The petition, which has been organised by the Electoral Reform Society and Unlock Democracy, has attracted 477,000 signatures.
It calls for "a fairer, more proportional voting system which ensures that seats in Parliament match the way people vote".
"This would make sure people's choices were fairly reflected in Parliament, and would allow everyone to vote for someone they believe in," it says.
A referendum on whether to change the voting system was held in 2011 as part of the coalition agreement between the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives.
The Lib Dems wanted to move to a system of Alternative Vote, which allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference.
But voters decided by 67.9% to 32.1% to retain the status quo. Turnout was 41%.
However, there have been fresh calls to reform the voting system since the recent general election.
UKIP received almost four million votes in the poll, while the Greens won just over one million - but each party only returned one MP.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage - who was at Downing Street to deliver the petition - said the results highlighted the need for change.
"This campaign for electoral reform is vital, now," said Mr Farage, who was joined by UKIP deputy chairwoman Suzanne Evans and the party's only MP, Douglas Carswell.
"The results of the general election where five million votes, the views of five million people are now represented by only two MPs; four million people voted for UKIP, for only one seat. It cannot go on like this," he said.
Mr Carswell, MP for Clacton, added that the case for electoral reform was "strong" and believed that "a broad cross-party coalition" would help to secure change.
Greens leader Natalie Bennett called for a "total rethink" of the way we vote, saying her party would have secured at least 24 MPs on 7 May if the UK had "a fair voting system".
"The recent election has demonstrated that we need real change in our constitution," she said.
Meanwhile, the SNP's Westminster leader, Angus Robertson also added his support to the case for reform.
He acknowledged the current voting system had delivered a virtual landslide for his party in Scotland, where the SNP 56 of the 59 seats up for grabs - but said the system was unfair.
"From an unrepresentative voting system to the unelected House of Lords, SNP MPs will be a strong voice in the coming years for the change we need to see," the MP said.
Representatives of the Lib Dems, who have long-campaigned for a move to proportional representations, were also present.
Party president Baroness Brinton said that while she disagreed with UKIP's policies it was "outrageous" that its four million votes only resulted in one MP.
Electoral Reform Society chief executive Katie Ghose, who stood for Labour in the general election, said the outcome was "the least proportional result in history".
"That's because our two-party electoral system cannot cope with the fact that people want to vote for a variety of parties," she added.
In a statement on Monday, he had condemned white supremacists.
But in New York on Tuesday he also blamed left-wing supporters for charging at the "alt-right".
His latest comments drew swift criticism, including from many in his Republican party.
Many echoed Senator John McCain's view: "There is no moral equivalency between racists & Americans standing up to defy hate & bigotry".
The right-wing march had been organised to protest against the proposed removal of a statue of General Robert E Lee, who commanded the pro-slavery Confederate forces during the American Civil War. The event drew white supremacy groups.
Violence broke out after they were confronted by anti-racism groups. A car ploughed into one group of anti-racism protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring 19 others.

On Monday, Donald Trump's condemnation of the far-right came from advisers counselling him on what was politically necessary to defuse the growing storm following the Charlottesville violence.
On Tuesday, the president said what he really thought.
Although he initially explained away the delay in condemnations of white supremacists as necessary for him to gather "the facts" of the situation, the nature of the protests were quite evident by the evening before, when demonstrators chanting white supremacist slogans held a torchlight parade through Charlottesville.
In any regard, Mr Trump has shown little reluctance in jumping to conclusions about violent incidents when it appears Islamic extremism is at play.
Upon further questioning, it became clear that the president views the Charlottesville unrest as far from a one-sided affair. Mixed in among the white supremacists, he said, were some good, peaceful people protesting the removal of a statue (of a man who led an army against the US government). And there were plenty of violent individuals among the counter-protesters as well.
When the president on Saturday said there were "many sides" to blame, he meant it.
If Donald Trump's initial handling of the fallout from Charlottesville started a political fire, on Tuesday the president poured on a bucket of kerosene and danced around the flames.
Speaking at the White House on Monday, the US president had said that the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and white supremacists were "repugnant" to everything Americans held dear.
But at a bad-tempered press conference at Trump Tower on Tuesday, he reverted to blaming "many sides" for Saturday's violence.
"You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that, but I'll say it right now," he said.
"What about the alt-left that came charging... at the, as you say, the alt-right? Do they have any semblance of guilt? (...) There are two sides to a story."
He called the driver of the car that ploughed into the anti-racism protesters a disgrace to himself and his country, but said that those who had marched in defence of the statue had included "many fine people".
He asked whether statues of former presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson should also be torn down, because they had been slave-owners.
Mr Trump's remarks were welcomed by David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, who tweeted: "Thank you President Trump for your honesty & courage to tell the truth about #Charlottesville & condemn the leftist terrorists in BLM/Antifa."
But many others strongly condemned the comments.
Of the reactions of some 55 Republican and Democrat politicians collected by the Washington Post, only the spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, Kayleigh McEnany, expressed her support.
End of Twitter post by @kayleighmcenany
Republican Speaker Paul Ryan tweeted: "We must be clear. White supremacy is repulsive... there can be no moral ambiguity."
Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO trade union federation, resigned from President Trump's American Manufacturing Council saying he could not take part "for a president who tolerates bigotry and domestic terrorism".
In another development, the response of former President Barack Obama to the violence in Charlottesville has become the most-liked tweet ever.
The message, quoting Nelson Mandela, reads: "No-one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin or his background or his religion."
It has been "liked" nearly three million times since being posted on Sunday.
In his address, Mr Trump defended the time it took to make his statement, saying he wanted to establish all the facts, and he again rounded on journalists at the news conference, saying many of them were writing "fake news".
He also praised Ms Heyer's mother, Susan Bro, who had thanked him after his earlier statement for his "words of comfort and for denouncing those who promote violence and hatred".

But it seems to be frozen in time – still deserted. Those people who remain in the area are camped in the grounds of Bama’s hospital in dire humanitarian need. The BBC's Martin Patience takes a tour of the town.
The tourists resumed on 39-0, only 33 runs ahead, and skipper Graeme Smith extended his partnership with Jacques Rudolph to 120.
Kevin Pietersen removed Rudolph with his second delivery of part-time off-spin and took a Test-best 3-52, while Stuart Broad (5-69) struck with successive deliveries in a spell of 4-12 from 20 balls before South Africa declared on 258-9.
It left England needing 253 in 39 overs and they sent Pietersen in to open, but closed 123 short of victory at 130-4 when a draw was agreed at 19:30 BST with six overs remaining.
"We gave them a little scare but I thought it was too big a task to score those runs. I don't blame England for trying. We haven't seen the real England - where is that bowling that can bowl teams out? How do you leave Swann out with three left-handers and footholes galore? Bresnan is not getting any runs so you have to judge him as a bowler and I think they will go with Finn at Lord's."
Pietersen, named as man of the match following his first-innings 149, hit three fours in the opening over and a burgeoning crowd sensed something momentous, but he spooned a catch to mid-on from the opening ball of the third over.
Alastair Cook hit a huge six in his 46, and even when he departed in the 18th over with 163 still needed, England sent out Matt Prior at number five.
His run-out for seven spelt the end of their attacking aspirations and South Africa now go into the final Test at Lord's, starting on 16 August, needing merely to avoid defeat to win the series and depose England at the top of the Test rankings.
Any chance of anything other than a draw had seemed remote with only one wicket down at lunch, after a morning session hampered by two stoppages for rain in front of a crowd containing almost as many stewards as spectators.
Rudolph calmly completed his half-century from 92 balls, his 11th Test fifty, but after less than five overs the players were off again as another shower drifted in between the sunshine.
The impromptu opener guided Anderson through the slips to record the century partnership from 194 balls, his contribution 65.
Tim Bresnan was one of the few bowlers to find an edge that carried but Smith was dropped by Anderson on 44, diving to his right at second slip.
However, as in the first innings the breakthrough came from an unlikely source - the occasional spin of Pietersen, who had taken only five Test wickets prior to this match.
He found some movement away from the left-hander to trap Rudolph lbw, a decision upheld after review, and after lunch produced some more prodigious turn, which had England followers again contemplating the omission of regular spinner Graeme Swann.
After being convinced Smith had edged a sharply turning off-break to wicketkeeper Prior, Pietersen dismissed his nemesis for 52 to a catch by debutant James Taylor at short leg.
AB de Villiers, promoted above the injured Jacques Kallis, quickly asserted himself with two attractive boundaries and a three in an over from Bresnan and defused any anxiety over Pietersen by reverse-sweeping him for four.
The Proteas wicketkeeper should have been dismissed on 23, when Anderson fumbled another routine chance at slip off Pietersen.
But Pietersen, whose international future is the subject of increasing speculation, claimed a third wicket when Hashim Amla drove a full toss to mid-off where Cook held an outstanding diving catch.
Kallis defied his back problems to loft Pietersen down the ground for six and played a series of majestic strokes, though it was Broad who took the match into a new dimension.
He had De Villiers adjudged lbw by umpire Steve Davis, a decision that could not be reviewed because the visitors had no referrals remaining - though, had it been, the batsman would have been reprieved as the ball was heading comfortably down the leg side - and got JP Duminy in a tangle with a yorker that also saw him leg before.
Broad dismissed Vernon Philander and Kallis in consecutive overs and after tea Dale Steyn was spectacularly caught and bowled by Anderson.
After some brief lusty blows from Morne Morkel ended with a catch on the boundary that gave Broad a sixth Test five-wicket haul, Smith surprised everyone by declaring, leaving England with the choice of whether to push for victory or risk a series defeat.
For a time, all four results remained a possibility, but England now travel to the home of cricket in the hope of a victory that will maintain their four-year unbeaten record in home Test series.

Due to licensing agreements, Netflix content varies between countries - many users have a virtual private network (VPN) or other proxy to get round this.
The firm said it would increase efforts in the next few weeks to block the use of such proxies.
Netflix expanded streaming services to more than 130 countries last week.
But some countries have more content than others - for example, the Australian Netflix catalogue has only about 10% of the content available to its US subscribers.
David Fullagar, vice president of content delivery architecture, said in a blog post on Thursday that the US firm was in the process of licensing content around the world.
But he said it had a long way to go before it could offer viewers the same films and shows everywhere.
"If all of our content were globally available, there wouldn't be a reason for members to use proxies or 'unblockers' to fool our systems into thinking they're in a different country than they're actually in," he said.
"In the meantime, we will continue to respect and enforce content licensing by geographic location."
Subscribers that currently use proxies to view content outside their countries will only be able to access the service their countries in the coming week, the company said.
Those members that do not use VPNs will not be impacted by the crackdown, it added.
The move is a reversal of Netflix's denial last week after reports had surfaced that they would be restricting VPN access to their content.
Colin Lowes, 47, from Torr Gardens, Larne, brought the injured bird to the vet in the town last June.
When he was told the bird could not be treated because it was a wild animal he damaged a door on his way out.
The court heard the seagull later died and was given a funeral at sea by Lowes at Larne Harbour.
Ballymena Magistrates Court was told that after police received a report of criminal damage, they went to Mr Lowes' home and found him sitting with the injured seabird.
He had brought it bare-chested and wrapped in a t-shirt to the surgery.
After staff told Lowes they could not deal with the bird, they told him to contact the USPCA.
The court heard it had cost more than £150 to fix the door at the surgery.
A defence lawyer for Lowes said his client had been out with his partner when he found the injured seagull and thinking he was "doing the decent thing" for the bird, which was bleeding, he took it to the vets.
The lawyer said Lowes was essentially told that as it was a wild animal, there was nothing they could do and on the way out, "struggling with the bird, the door was accidentally cracked."
The judge told Lowes he had no doubt he was "acting in the best interests of this creature" but he should have taken the advice of the vet and contacted either the USPCA or the RSPB.
He gave Lowes a one year conditional discharge and ordered him to pay for the damage to the door.
Under European law, Irish whiskey, poitÃn and cream have "protected geographical indications" that recognise their regional importance and distinctive characteristics.
It means that the spirits must be produced on the island of Ireland.
Annual verification checks will now be carried out to ensure Irish distillers meet the required specifications.
Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney said there were strong enforcement powers.
He said the new regulations would "ensure that spirit drinks labelled with these protected designations are manufactured in Ireland in accordance with the approved technical specification".
"These regulations mean that inferior products or those that do not share the uniquely Irish heritage of these protected geographical indications cannot be sold as Irish whiskey, Irish poitin or Irish cream," he said.
"They can help to protect the reputation and integrity of these products, but also to protect Irish jobs. From a consumer perspective, they will also give assurance to customers, at home and abroad, of the quality of the unique spirit products they are consuming."
As the spirits are produced on an all-island basis, the Irish government consulted with the UK's HMRC on the details and timing of the verification system.
Mr Coveney said Irish whiskey was growing in popularity, with exports growing by almost 200% in the last decade.
"Three years ago, the island of Ireland had four distilleries in operation - in the next three years that number could grow to over 20," he said.
"I am confident that this success can be replicated in other spirit drinks products."
Technical files on the protected spirits have been submitted to the European Commission, and distillers can apply for their products to be verified.
Annual checks will be carried out to ensure the spirits are being produced to the correct specifications.
Whiskey's name comes from the Gaelic "uisce beatha", which translates as the water of life.
The characteristics of Irish whiskey and its production are outlined in legislation in the Republic of Ireland - the Irish Whiskey Act 1980.
The existing EU regulations also apply to a range of other protected spirit drinks manufactured in member states.
Other specialty products from across Europe with protected geographical status include Parma ham, Champagne wine and Stilton cheese.

She accused her opponents of causing a political crisis which she said had damaged the economy.
Ms Rousseff also defended her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, over money-laundering allegations.
She said a prosecutors' request for his detention had no legal basis.
The ongoing crisis has deepened the worst recession in decades in Brazil - Latin America's biggest economy.
Ms Rousseff said she had been democratically elected and had no intention of going.
The Workers' Party leader has also come under increasing pressure in recent months over a huge corruption investigation, centred on the state-controlled oil company Petrobras, the BBC's Wyre Davies reports.
The inquiry has implicated several business leaders and politicians close to the government including Lula.
With large anti-government protests expected this weekend across Brazil, the president's resolve will be tested even further, our South America correspondent adds.
Regional prosecutors in Sao Paulo want Lula placed in "preventive custody" after charging him with failing to declare ownership of a luxury sea-front penthouse in the seaside resort of Guaruja.
They say this is necessary because he may try to obstruct the investigation. The request still has to be accepted or rejected by a judge.
Lula, 70, denies any wrongdoing and says the claims are politically motivated. He says he never owned the apartment.
His lawyer, Cristiano Zanin Martins, said Lula had invested in the project and had visited the unfinished apartment but later asked for his money back rather than receiving the property.
President Rousseff refused to comment on a possible cabinet job for Lula but said she would be proud to have him in her government.
Last week, Lula was briefly detained and questioned in a separate, federal investigation into whether extensive refurbishment on the penthouse had constituted favours in exchange for political benefit.
The renovations were carried out by one of the country's biggest construction firms, OAS.
Officially the apartment belongs to OAS, which is itself accused of paying bribes to politicians and senior officials at state oil company Petrobras to secure lucrative contracts.
In addition, federal prosecutors are looking into allegations that Lula sold his influence in President Rousseff's administration in exchange for donations to his Instituto Lula non-profit foundation.
Last week's questioning of the former president led to criticism not only from his supporters but also from judges and politicians, who said it was unnecessary.
His supporters say the attacks on him are aimed at tarnishing his reputation, amid rumours that he may run for office again in 2018.
Lula was Brazil's left-leaning president from 2003 to 2011 and was succeeded in office by his political protege, Ms Rousseff, who has record-low approval rates amid a serious economic crisis.
A former factory worker and union leader, Lula remains a very popular figure in Brazil despite the accusations against senior members of the Workers' Party.
The singer's latest album, The Heavy Entertainment Show, has debuted at number one on this week's chart.
It is his 12th album to reach the summit - and pushes him ahead of David Bowie, who has 11 number one albums to his name.
Williams said: "I'm chuffed that this album is number one and I'm humbled by these amazing statistics and facts."
The singer now has as many number one albums as Madonna, but remains behind The Beatles, (who have 15), and Elvis Presley (13).
The Heavy Entertainment Show beat the new collaborative album by Michael Ball and Alfie Boe, Together, which debuted at number two.
Bon Jovi's This House Is Not For Sale was the only other new entry in the top 10, landing at number five.
Last week's number one album by James Arthur, Back from the Edge, dropped to number six this week.
Alicia Keys's latest album, Here, debuted at number 21, her seventh top 40 album.
On the singles chart, Clean Bandit's Rockabye - which features guest vocals from Anne Marie and Sean Paul - climbed two places to reach the summit.
Clean Bandit said: "Rockabye is a song that means a lot to us and it means even more to us that so many people are listening to it and liking it."
Rockabye is the band's sixth top five hit and second number one - following 2014's Rather Be, which featured Jess Glynne.
The success of the single comes two months after violinist and founding member Neil Milan left the band.
Rockabye dethroned Little Mix's Shout Out To My Ex, which dropped to number two.
Elsewhere, Bruno Mars's 24K Magic climbed into the top five for the first time, while Maroon 5's Don't Wanna Know, featuring Kendrick Lamar, rose to number seven to give the band their ninth UK top 40.

A total of 3,569 rough sleepers were identified by counts and estimates by local authorities in Autumn 2015, up from 2,744 a year before.
Labour said the figures were "the starkest possible reminder" of Conservative housing policy failure.
Ministers said government funding for homelessless over the next four years had been increased to £139m.
The latest figures have been released by the Department for Communities and Local Government, which described them as "single night snapshots".
London accounted for 26% of the total, a similar proportion to the previous year. The local authority recording the highest totals was Westminster, followed by Bristol, Brighton and Hove, Manchester and Cornwall.
Labour's shadow housing minister John Healey said: "People will find it extraordinary that in England in the 21st century the number of people forced to sleep rough is going up - and this is only the tip of the iceberg."
He urged ministers to exempt accommodation for homeless people from housing benefit cuts.
Homelessness Minister Marcus Jones said nobody should ever have to sleep rough.
"We have protected homelessness prevention funding and expect local authorities to provide quality advice and assistance to all those that approach them for help," he said.
Mr Jones said a £5m "social impact bond" would help people with mental health problems or addiction to move off the streets.
Separate figures relating to London, compiled by the Combined Homelessness and Information Network, found that 14% of the rough sleepers identified in the capital in 2014-15 were female.
Where nationalities were available, 43% were from the UK, and 36% from Central and Eastern European countries that joined the EU in 2004 or 2007.
The point is that in coming up with a plan to create a new organisation to spur improved conduct on all banks, Lambert is responding to a request from the chairs of Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, RBS, Santander, Standard Chartered and Nationwide.
So what is it about banks which means that, unlike supermarkets or pretty much any other industry, the banks don't believe competition provides them with enough of an incentive to behave well.
Is the problem that most of us are still reluctant to take our business elsewhere when our banks let us down - so competition doesn't operate with sufficient intensity?
Is it that so much of what they sell, both to individuals and to institutions, is so complicated and opaque, that most of the time we don't know when we're being ripped off?
Is it that the rewards in their investment banking operations are so enormous, and the pressures from testosterone fuelled managers are so great, that no human investment banker can be confident of permanently resisting the temptation to cut corners and rig markets.
Well, the bleak truth, Lambert would concede, is that it's all that and probably more.
In fact, Lambert is so persuaded that banks can't be trusted to rise phoenix-like of their individual volition from the savage bonfire of their finances and ethics that he argues there should be no bankers involved in choosing the board of the new standard setting body and that bankers should be in a minority on that board.
Also, he does not believe the new conduct monitor will succeed unless every bank of any size signs up as a member - and that includes the foreign investment banks operating in the City of London, and the new so-called challenger banks.
His fear is that unless it is one for all and all for one, banks will not force proper behaviour on their respective people, because they will always have the excuse that Mega Bank down the road is still swimming with the sharks and stealing the fastest prey and profit.
And over time Lambert thinks there's a case for every individual banker being able to become a member of this new conduct monitor, and not just the institutions - though he baulks at doing this from day one, because of the organisational challenge of herding tens of thousands of bankers.
So here's the dilemma for the big banks if they follow through on their commitment to broadly do what Lambert proposes.
There is growing political pressure for much more active engagement by regulators in approving all products they sell and in setting prices.
Having conceded via their encouragement of the Lambert plan that the market fails to provide sufficient incentives for them to treat customers fairly and honestly, how do banks resist the argument that the market fails in other more fundamental ways too?
Speaking at a UN forum in New York, Mr Zuckerberg said it would help refugees access aid and maintain family links.
He also said Facebook would be part of a new campaign to make the internet available to everyone on the planet within five years.
He said the internet could help the UN meet its development goals and lift people out of poverty.
Signatories to the campaign, called the Connectivity Declaration, include rock star Bono, actress Charlize Theron, entrepreneurs Bill Gates and Richard Branson, and Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales.
He said Facebook would work with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
"Connectivity will help refugees better access support from the aid community and maintain links to family and loved ones," he said. "Facebook is in a unique position to help maintain this lifeline."
Some three billion people around the world have internet access, and the connectivity campaign aims to bring the internet to the other four billion.
Mr Zuckerberg says that Facebook has nearly 1.5 billion users who log in once a month, and achieved a billion users in a single day for the first time last month.
He has predicted that the site's reach will continue to grow.
About 1,500 jobs are to be lost at the agency although it is not clear how many flood-related posts will go.
But a spokesman for the agency told the BBC the cuts would have an impact on flood operations such as risk management, maintenance and modelling.
The news comes as large parts of the UK are facing severe flood warnings.
The government says the UK is facing a period of "exceptional weather" in the coming days, due to a combination of high tides, heavy rains and strong winds
There are 188 flood warnings in place across England and Wales, including 14 severe warnings meaning there is a danger to life.
Parts of southern England are only just recovering from widespread flooding before Christmas while coastal areas across the UK suffered heavy flooding following fierce storms in early December.
Asked about the budget cuts, which were first announced in October, spokesman Peter Fox said the Environment Agency, which is responsible for England only, was having to save money and reduce staff numbers along with the rest of the public sector.
But he told BBC News it would seek to "protect front-line responses and flood incident management" and provide the "best services" possible with the reduced resources available.
The Environment Agency, which has an annual budget of £1.2bn, is to reduce staff numbers from 11,250 to about 9,700 by this October.
The BBC's political correspondent Carole Walker said the cuts would be sensitive given the huge pressure that the organisation is under and the praise it has received from ministers in recent weeks.
Its chief executive Paul Leinster told the environment journal ENDS that it would have an effect on its capacity to support flood defence.
"All of our work on mapping and modelling and new developments in things like flood warning will also have to be resized," he said.
"And we're looking at a proportionate reduction in the number of people in flood risk management."
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said much more needed to be done to prevent flooding and protect homeowners - and called the government "appallingly inept".
He said: "There are three million homes at risk of flooding in the UK and yet the government is cutting flood defences, allowing thousands of new homes to be built on flood plains, and sitting back and watching the EU block an insurance scheme designed to protect those most vulnerable from losing everything."
In November 2012, the government announced an extra £120m in funding for flood risk management schemes in response to frequent incidents in previous years.
Ministers insist that long-term capital spending to fund new defences is rising, with total funding on flood defence set to go up from £533m in 2013-4 to £569m in 2014-5.
But critics say funding for maintaining existing defences is set to fall as the Department for the Environment - which oversees the agency - suffers one of the tightest budget squeezes across Whitehall.
A spokesman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said: "Departments and agencies across government are having to make choices about their budgets and the Environment Agency is making their own choices about how best to use their resources."
The BBC's environment analyst Roger Harrabin said MPs have warned that flooding budgets do not match the risk to communities, especially as climate change was expected to bring more extreme weather.
The Environment Agency issued nearly 7,000 flood alerts and warnings in 2012-13, the largest number in its history.
Anthony Grainger, 36 of Bolton, was shot in the chest during a Greater Manchester Police operation in Culcheth, Cheshire on 3 March 2012.
Giving evidence, Officer X7 agreed that from what he saw there was no reason to justify shooting the father-of-two.
Mr Grainger was shot through the windscreen of a stolen Audi.
Speaking from behind a curtain to ensure his anonymity, the firearms officer described pointing his gun at the 36-year-old who he said he raised his hands and surrendered when instructed to.
Earlier the inquiry heard evidence from an officer, known as Q9, who shot Mr Grainger dead and said he was "absolutely convinced" he had a gun when he pulled the trigger.
Representing the family of Mr Grainger, Leslie Thomas QC asked X7, "if Anthony Grainger was complying with instructions - you couldn't see any reason while you were there to justify shooting [him]?"
X7, who was in the role of operational firearms commander on the day of the shooting and in charge of the operation on the ground, responded: "No sir".
The inquiry also heard evidence that Mr Grainger may have been shot while X7 was still running towards the car and before he could see what was happening.
Officer X7 had failed a specialist firearms training course shortly before the shooting when concerns were raised about his decision-making as he was becoming "overloaded when under pressure", the court heard.
Asked about those concerns, X7 said he believed this criticism was "unfair".
"I don't think it's correct," he said, adding, "I think I handle pressure very, very well."
The inquiry continues.
Newport Quay bridge would normally be used by traffic leaving the Seaclose Park festival ground and by coaches bringing visitors to the town's market.
Large traffic and coach operators have been advised of a diversion via Seaclose where there is a 10mph limit.
Isle of Wight Council said the festival site was still being cleared after the four-day event which ended on Sunday.
It is not yet known how long the bridge will remain closed.
Islanders are already facing diversions after continuing problems with the Cowes "floating bridge" chain ferry further downstream.
Two brilliant early goals stunned Boreham Wood and they never recovered as Gateshead recorded their first win in seven league games.
Wes York's sweet half-volley flew into the top corner after just 13 minutes and it was 2-0 moments later as Luke Hannant struck into the bottom corner from 25 yards.
Manny Smith appeared to get the final touch in a goalmouth scramble as Gateshead went three goals to the good five minutes from time.
And Jamal Fyfield put the finishing touch on the rout by delightfully curling into the far corner deep into added-on time as Boreham Wood crashed to a third successive defeat.

The detention order for Mr Assange, who is believed to be in Britain, concerns alleged sexual crimes during a visit to Sweden in August.
Swedish police said the UK needed the maximum penalties for the crimes to be stipulated on the order.
Mr Assange has not been charged and denies the allegations.
He says they are part of a smear campaign against him.
Earlier, Sweden's top court rejected an attempt by Mr Assange to appeal against the detention order, saying an earlier ruling would stand.
His legal battle comes amid the phased release of some 250,000 US diplomatic secret messages, called cables, by the whistle-blowing Wikileaks website.
In the latest cables, US officials say that Russia has become a "virtual mafia state" with widespread corruption, bribery and protection rackets.
A spokeswoman for the Swedish National Police Board told the BBC that Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency had requested a new order as the original one had listed only the maximum penalty for the most serious crime alleged, rather than for all of the crimes.
The original Stockholm district court arrest warrant for Mr Assange issued on 18 November was for suspicion of "rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion".
The Svea Court of Appeals later upheld the detention order and the Supreme Court has now backed that ruling.
Profile: Julian Assange
"The Supreme Court has reviewed the material and did not find reason to grant the leave to appeal," court documents said, adding that the Supreme Court only looked at exceptional cases and the interpretation of law.
The case relates to the allegations of two women surrounding Mr Assange's visit in August.
The police spokeswoman could not confirm how long it would take to issue the new warrant.
Mr Assange's lawyer says any arrest warrant would be challenged in court.
"The process in this case has been so utterly irregular that the chances of a valid arrest warrant being submitted to me are very small," Mark Stephens told the Associated Press news agency on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Wikileaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson said Mr Assange was at a secret location.
"When you have people calling for his assassination, it is best to keep a low profile," he said.
Wikileaks is currently working through the publication of more than 250,000 US diplomatic cables.
Wikileaks cables: Key issues
The US has condemned the disclosures as an attack on the world community.
In the latest cables, Russia is described as a "virtual mafia state".
The cables, published by The Guardian newspaper, paint a picture of a corrupt Russia centred around the leadership of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Bribery in the political system totals an estimated $300bn (£192bn) a year, the paper says.
In one cable from January 2010, Spanish prosecutor Jose "Pepe" Grinda Gonzales, who led a long investigation into Russian organised crime in Spain, claimed that in Russia, Belarus and Chechnya "one cannot differentiate between the activities of the Government and OC (organised crime) groups".
Mr Putin told CNN there may be "political purposes" behind the leaks but added that they were "no catastrophe".
But he did appear riled at US diplomats referring to him as Batman to President Dmitry Medvedev's Robin.
"To be honest with you, we didn't suspect that this would be done with such arrogance, with such a push and, you know, being so unethically done," Mr Putin said.
The 21-year-old was beaten, whipped, handcuffed, sexually assaulted and made to drink bleach during the ordeal.
Anna Wibrew, 24, and Simon Weller, 38, of Crawley, were convicted of conspiracy to inflict grievous bodily harm and false imprisonment.
Hove Crown Court was told five others were jailed last year over the attack.
The motive for targeting the victim in March 2009 is thought to have been revenge for a failure to pay rent.
Wibrew, of Keir Hardie House in Dalton Close, was jailed for six years. Weller, of the same address, was jailed for five.
Judge Charles Kemp told them he was aware that "some of the most serious and indecently cruel assaults occurred before you joined the conspiracy and after you left it".
But he added they were both "willing participants for a period of 24 hours".
He said there was evidence Wibrew had been one of the ones to have administered a dose of bleach to the man.
The court heard the victim was "lured" to a flat in Ifield, Crawley, on 5 March where most of the abuse took place.
The next day, he was taken to Wibrew and Weller's flat, where he was made to swallow bleach along with an alcoholic drink.
The court heard that after being returned to the original flat, the victim then had his foot broken by a claw hammer.
Unable to take the abuse any more, he stabbed himself five times in the chest with a kitchen knife, the jury was told.
The gang then called an ambulance to take him to hospital, making up a story he had been attacked elsewhere.
Wibrew and Weller, who have a six-month-old child, were both found guilty following a trial last month.
Five other people - four women and one man - were jailed for a total of 40 years in March last year, police said.
Det Con Stuart MacPherson, of Sussex Police, said it was the "nastiest case" he had dealt with in his career.
"That seven people could inflict such hideous acts against another person is simply beyond me and defies belief," he said.
Writing for Country Life magazine, Prince Charles said farmers made a "huge contribution" to the UK's "food security, environment and prosperity".
He said farmers and rural communities were facing a "grave situation" but added people "really can help by buying British food whenever we can."
The heir to the throne wrote the piece to mark turning 67 on 14 November.
He and the Duchess of Cornwall are currently on an official 12-day tour of New Zealand and Australia where they have visited a number of rural communities and met local producers.
In his article Prince Charles wrote: "On a sufficient scale the purchasing decisions of individuals can and do change markets."
He said buying British food meant customers were "more likely to be getting fresh, high quality produce from a known and trusted source, offering good value for money".
He added: "It seems to me that the key is to make it as easy as possible for people to know when they are buying British - and why that is a good choice."
The prince suggested many people were perhaps overlooking the importance of farmers to the UK.
"The rural economy is largely invisible to many people," he said. "So, it is perhaps worth spelling out, especially to those who - whether by choice or necessity - live largely urban lifestyles, that we rely on farmers to make a huge contribution to our nation's food security, environment and prosperity.
"And in all three respects, we live in an increasingly uncertain world. That is why we need to do everything we can to keep our farmers farming."
The prince concluded: "This may be considered merely romantic but, to me, our living, breathing, working countryside is one of the great glories of this country. I think we should treasure it, including its people, while we still can."
Mark Hedges, Country Life's editor, welcomed the prince's "romantic" view.
"There's nothing wrong with having a romantic view. It's not going to be particularly romantic when it's all gone," said Mr Hedges.
He added: "The prince has a powerful message where we can all make a difference. By buying British food, we will all be playing a vital part to safeguard the future of our precious countryside and everyone who works and lives in rural communities."

But how much can technology and apps help to improve people's health?
That question is being posed at a seminar in Belfast involving health and IT experts from EU cities, including Belfast.
They are all part of the World Health Organisation Network.
Those involved believe technology can be the driving force behind tackling some serious health problems, like Alzheimer's.
It is thought that a new smartphone app, developed by scientists at Ulster University in collaboration with Utah State University in the US, could hold the key to preventing the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Unveiled last year at the world's largest convention for Alzheimer's research in Washington DC, the Gray Matters smartphone app encourages individuals to set lifestyle goals in areas like exercise and nutrition to stress management and brain stimulation - all of which are known to have an impact on the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease.
The event is expected to tackle health inequalities across the cities.
Joan Devlin is from Belfast Healthy Cities.
"This seminar is all about sharing knowledge, ideas and experience.
"Digital technology can play a very positive role in making the delivery of healthcare more efficient and user friendly," she said.
Also up for discussion is an app to help junior doctors hone their skills in reading X-rays.
Dr Tom Lynch, head of Nuclear Medicine, Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, launched Experior two years ago, an app developed with local IT company Salt DNA.
Experior helps junior doctors hone their skills in reading X-rays and the platform is proving to be a hit with medics here and across the UK.
Speaking ahead of the event, Dr Lynch told the BBC that the app was now on the international medical map.
"The application trails a doctor's inputs and tailors training to meet their specific needs," he said.
"Since launching in 2014, the platform is now being trialled, not only in Northern Ireland, but in trusts in Great Britain too and in fact there is interest in using the same technology in other medical disciplines including obstetrics and gynaecology."
Northern Ireland is slowly getting to grips with e-health and telemedicine.
An e-health expert from Finland is expected to advise the local health industry that innovation technology in his home is revolutionising how health is being delivered, particularly through life course approaches.
While local IT experts hope to learn from their colleagues in Finland and Wales, it is hoped visitors will pick up a thing or two from Northern Ireland innovators as well.
The pair have been named locally as Jim Quigley, 69, and his wife Marie, 70, from near Hackballscross, County Louth.
He died when his car hit a truck and another car on the M1 on Monday.
When police called to the registered address of his car, his wife's body was found in a upstairs bedroom.
It is believed Mrs Quigley sustained serious head injuries.
Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported on Tuesday that police are treating her death as murder and "keeping an open mind in terms of covering all aspects of the investigation".
She was found dead at about 15:45 local time when police, accompanied by the couple's son, went to notify the family of Mr Quigley's death.
The crash happened earlier near Ardee, County Louth, at about 14:00 local time.
It is reported that Mr Quigley veered into the path of the lorry on the northbound carriage of the M1.
Three people sustained injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
On Tuesday evening, the couple's relatives issued a joint statement appealing for privacy and time to grieve.
"We would like to thank our extended family and friends for their continued thoughts and prayers," the statement said.
"He is thankful for the many prayers and kind wishes he received during his stay," said his spokesman Jim McGrath.
The 92-year-old was admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital on 14 January, experiencing breathing difficulties.
His wife, Barbara Bush, 91, was briefly admitted to the facility days later to be treated for fatigue and a cough.
The nation's 41st president was moved to intensive care where doctors inserted a breathing tube, which was removed after a couple of days.
He was transferred out of the intensive care unit a week ago and has been recovering since then, taking antibiotics.
Mr Bush, who served as US president from 1989-93, spent a week in hospital in the US state of Maine in 2015 after falling and breaking a neck bone.
He also suffers from a form of Parkinson's disease and uses a wheelchair.
Mr Bush's son, George W Bush, was elected president in 2000 and served two terms as the nation's 43rd president.
The elder Bush was born on 12 June 1924 in Massachusetts and also served as a congressman, CIA director and vice-president to Ronald Reagan.
The men were working at Hawkeswood Metal in Nechells when the 15ft (4.5m) wall of concrete and metal fell on them just before 09:00 BST on Thursday.
West Midlands Police described it as "a very traumatic incident".
The recovery effort continued all day and will recommence "first thing" on Friday, a spokesman for the force said.
Det Supt Mark Payne said: "It's a difficult and complex process, we've had to move a huge amount of metal and concrete in order to access some of the deceased men.
"That process is still ongoing."
A sixth man was injured in the crush but managed to escape from the debris. He was taken to hospital with a broken leg.
West Midlands Ambulance Service, a specialist rescue unit, police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) worked together at the scene.
A spokesman for the ambulance service said: "On arrival, ambulance crews found that a wall had collapsed. Sadly, there was nothing that could be done to save the five men who had been working next to it."
The five who died have not yet been officially named but they are thought to be Spanish nationals of Gambian origin, who moved to Birmingham to work.
"Everybody is sad," said Ansumana Barrow, 63, president of the Gambian Association in Birmingham.
"We are hard working. They [the men who died] are feeding their families, that's why they are here. Unfortunately, this thing happens."
A spokesman for Hawkeswood Metal confirmed the deaths were caused by "the collapse of a partitioning wall within the company premises" but it was not known why the structure had collapsed.
"The wall had been in place for more than two years and had not been subject to any damage or was not subject to any incident that would have resulted in its collapse," he said.
The company, which says it is co-operating fully with police, fire crews and the Health and Safety Executive, said it wished "to offer their condolences to the families of all those involved in the incident at this very sad time".
Det Supt Payne, of West Midlands Police, said: "We are still in the very early stages of this investigation to determine exactly what happened this morning.
"Sadly five people have lost their lives and we have several teams of specialist officers supporting their families at this time.
"This has been a very traumatic incident for those who were at the site this morning and we will continue to work alongside the HSE and the other emergency services at the scene."
At a news conference, he said the victims had been working to recover scrap metal when the accident happened.
The recycling plant was the scene of a major fire in February this year, when 700 tonnes of scrap metal went up in flames.
In 2012, the company was fined £50,000 after a worker's arm became trapped in machinery.
Hawkeswood Metal Recycling Ltd pleaded guilty at Birmingham Crown Court to a breach of health and safety law.
According to its company website, the firm processes more than 500,000 tonnes of scrap metal each year.
The company, which employs about 50 people, began trading more than 40 years ago and has a customer base that includes local authorities, major PLCs and smaller independent companies.
The US-led coalition against IS, he insisted, is not losing to the jihadists. But the awkward truth is, the coalition is certainly not winning.
Every day that IS continues to even exist on the ground, every day that it carries out its harsh rule on a cowed population, and every day that it grows closer to becoming an entrenched, functioning, if albeit pariah state, is a mark of failure by some of the world's richest and most powerful armed forces ranged against it.
"I think the coalition strategy against IS was kind of non-existent," says Charlie Winter, a research analyst with the London-based counter extremism think-tank Quilliam.
"From the beginning it was dropping bombs against Islamic State positions, hoping to try and kill a few leaders, take out some artillery positions, that sort of thing.
"But besides that, it has resoundingly failed. Ramadi has just been taken, Palmyra has just been taken, Deir al-Zour airport is about to fall," Mr Winter says.
So, why is the strategy not working?
To be fair, the coalition strategy has not been an abject failure.
Over the last 11 months it has had some notable successes, including saving the Kurdish cities of both Kobane and Irbil from being overrun by IS.
The jihadists threw wave after wave of fighters at Kobane - but repeated and intensive coalition air strikes, coupled with a spirited defence by Kurdish fighters, drove them back.
Air strikes also drove IS fighters off the Mosul and Haditha dams where it was feared they could have set off explosions triggering deadly floods.
A US-led humanitarian rescue programme saved thousands of displaced Kurdish and Yazidi families from death and starvation in the far north of Iraq as IS overran their villages.
And there have been a few precision-guided surgical strikes that have killed operational commanders, plus the recent Delta Force raid into Syria that killed the man who ran IS oil revenues.
But for IS, these are manageable losses, irritating but not life-threatening to their cause. Their march across much of the Middle East continues.
The biggest setback to IS was not even a part of coalition strategy, it was the result of a joint Iraqi-Iranian deal.
The Iraqi government's recapture from IS of the Sunni town of Tikrit was achieved largely with the help of Shia Iraqi militias, trained, armed and funded by the Iranians.
US air strikes were only called in at the last moment as Iraqi government forces took over from the militias.
On paper, the US-led coalition against IS boasts an impressive list of countries all lined up to help push this nightmare genie back into its bottle.
But their interests are not necessarily the same.
"The problem is the diverging interests and strategies of the IS opponents," says the Saudi analyst and expert on IS, Aimen Deen.
"The US, the EU, the GCC, Turkey and the Iranian axis (Iran, Assad, Baghdad and Hezbollah) as well as the rest of the Syrian opposition are fighting an unco-ordinated campaign against IS."
From a coalition operations room in the Gulf, targets are identified, missions are drawn up, and aircraft from a range of European and Arab countries take part in precision-guided air strikes.
But there is only so much that can be achieved from the air.
IS fighters have learned to avoid exposing their forces and equipment in easily targeted columns that can be struck in open country, preferring instead to embed themselves wherever they can in populated areas amongst civilians.
The problem is that ultimately this is a campaign that can only be decided on the ground, and there is no universally acceptable force that can take that job on.
In Syria, IS has now overshadowed all other rebel groups and their only real enemy is the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, with its well-documented list of atrocities that include dropping barrel bombs filled with chlorine.
In both Syria and Iraq the poorly-armed Kurds have fought back tenaciously to defend their homeland from the advance of IS, helped by US air power.
But they don't do expeditionary warfare and have no appetite for going off to fight outside their area.
The US military, having lost 4,491 servicemen and women in its eight-year occupation of Iraq, is very reluctant to get drawn back into combat operations there.
It does have around 2,000 trainers, advisers, planners and others in the country, but its efforts to rebuild the Iraqi army into a capable fighting force have so far failed.
The Sunni tribal militias, who were recruited so successfully in 2007 to expel al-Qaeda from their land have since grown disillusioned with the Shia-led government in Baghdad.
Many are unsure which is their greatest threat: the Sunni fanatics of IS or the Shia fanatics amongst the various militias deployed to fight IS.
As of May 2015 the only units capable of taking on IS on the battlefield are trained Shia fighters backed by Iran. That includes Hizbollah units sent from Lebanon and Iraqi Shia directed by Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps advisers.
Neither will be popular in Sunni areas.
Against this backdrop, official US optimism about the direction of the campaign is unlikely to be matched by reality on the ground.
In the short term at least, the prognosis for that part of the Middle East is dire.

The actor's first movie since the Harry Potter franchise is already the most successful horror film since records began 20 years ago.
The adaptation of Susan Hill's ghost story extends its lead as this year's highest grossing film to date.
But it falls far short of the list of biggest earning films of all time.
James Cameron's Avatar remains the number one movie of all time with takings of £95.6m.
Titanic - also a Cameron film - was second, followed by Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring.
At this week's UK box office, The Devil Inside made its debut at number one with estimated takings of £2m.
A successful marketing campaign, which included an audience reaction trailer, helped boost the horror movie's popularity.
Jonah Hill comedy 21 Jump Street was this week's second highest new entry with box office receipts totalling £1.6m.
In third place was The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, followed by John Carter and We Bought A Zoo, which made its first appearance on the chart in fifth place.
The Treasury and Resources Department wants to reduce the bond and conveyance fees paid when buying a house for less than £400,000.
Deputy Yvonne Burford said the suggested changes should just be for first-time buyers with other buyers getting a smaller reduction in duty.
Both proposals are due to be debated by the States next week.
The department has suggested the move in a bid to address lower housing sales.
In 2012 the States raised £17.1m from document duty but it is expected to fall to £14.25m in 2013.
Currently duty of 2% is paid for transactions under £150,000, 2.5% for sales between £150,000 and £250,000 and 3% on those above £250,000.
Under the department's plan from 29 October 2019 until 31 October 2014 duty would be 1% on properties below £250,000, 2% on those between £250,000 and £400,000 and 3% for any above £400,000.
From 1 November 2014 these would rise to 2%, 2.5% and 3% respectively.
Deputy Yvonne Burford's proposal is just for the duty running up to 31 October 2014.
She wants first-time buyers to have the proposed rates while anyone who has previously owned property in the island would pay 2%, 2.5% and 3% respectively.
Firefighters used cutting equipment to free her from her vehicle in Poole's Arrowsmith Road, which runs through woodland, shortly before 09:00 GMT.
The road was closed between Broadstone and Canford Magna while council workers dealt with the tree.
The woman was taken to hospital with head injuries, which are not thought to be life-threatening.
The report says the operation suffered from flawed intelligence-gathering and inadequate planning.
But it also praised the commandos involved and found the use of force had been the only way to stop the flotilla.
Eight Turks and one Turkish-American died in the naval raid in international waters, which provoked a major outcry.
The report criticised the operation's planners for not having a back-up plan in the event of violence.
But it also said the mission had not been a failure and did not recommend any dismissals.
It said there had been a lack of co-ordination between military and intelligence bodies, and preparations for the 31 May takeover of the ships had been inadequate.

This Israeli military investigation confirms things went badly wrong when troops stormed the Mavi Marmara, but largely exonerates the naval commandos.
However, its findings that serious mistakes were made confirm that questions also need to be asked of Israel's political leaders, who approved the operation.
The Eiland report is not the only investigation. A former Supreme Court judge, Jacob Turkel, is conducting an inquiry into the legality of the operation.
The UN Human Rights Council may well launch its own study, though Israel does not trust this organisation and may well refuse to have anything to do with it. Pressure is on Israel to make its investigation credible.
Justice Turkel is seeking to give his inquiry real investigative teeth. Here he may well be backed by the Israeli courts. This though may still not satisfy the Turks who have nailed their colours to a fully-fledged international inquiry.
As they dropped from helicopters on to the deck of one vessel, the Mavi Marmara, Israeli forces were met with a violent reception, from some of those on board who were armed with clubs and knives and at least one gun, found the report.
Presenting the findings to media in Tel Aviv, retired general Giora Eiland, who chaired the investigating panel, had both criticism and praise.
"In this inquiry we found that there were some professional mistakes regarding both the intelligence and the decision-making process and some of the operational mistakes," he said.
"But also, we did find some very positive findings, and one of them that should be emphasised is the very professional and courageous way that the Israeli commando behaved."
General Eiland said the report was intended to help prepare Israel for similar situations which may occur in the future.
The Eiland Committee, which began its work on 7 June, scrutinised the military aspects of the raid.
A separate inquiry, which includes international observers, is examining whether international law was broken during the military raid.
In a statement, Israeli military chief of staff Lt Gen Gabi Ashkenazi said the Eiland inquiry had not revealed failures or negligence, but "brings up mistakes which must be corrected for future incidents".

Israel has resisted calls for a UN-led inquiry into the raid, saying it would be biased.
The operation prompted an international backlash and has severely strained Israel's relations with its once-close Muslim ally Turkey.

Twelve men, aged 25 to 28, were travelling to the Slovakian capital Bratislava from Luton on Friday.
Violence broke out and and six were later detained by police after an unscheduled landing in Berlin.
Groom Joshua Mariner, 26, from Southampton in Hampshire, said he was not among those thrown off the plane.
One of the group exposed himself while others were fighting, passengers said.
In a statement given to the Southern Daily Echo, Mr Mariner said: "The lads' behaviour was unacceptable and they will now have to suffer the consequences of their actions.
"It was reported by German police that I was one of the lads arrested which isn't true and I will be seeking legal advice as it has caused a lot of distress for me and my family."
Police in Berlin said in a statement that six members of the group - from Southampton - were threatening security on board and did not comply with the crew's instructions.
A video from the plane, published by the Sun newspaper, showed one member of the group swearing at another man and threatening him before throwing a punch.
The men were removed from the aircraft after the pilot decided to land at Berlin Schonefeld Airport.
Reza Heravi, an eyewitness and passenger on the plane, said it was clear the men were "massively drunk" before they boarded the flight and had been singing loudly.
He said: "As we took off, they were hardly seated, they kept standing up and shouting random stuff.
"At one point, one of the guys pulled down his trousers and exposed himself to the air hostess."
He added: "They then decided to have a fight between themselves.
"One of the very drunken members of the group tried to stop the fight but was unsuccessful. That's when the cabin crew said we need to stop off in Berlin."
Mr Heravi said it took 20 minutes to get the men off the aircraft and the flight arrived in Bratislava two hours late.
Another passenger, Darius Davies, said one of the men had been given "a lot of pints to down" before boarding the flight, while some of the group had been "catcalling the stewardesses".
One man ended up without his trousers after his friends hid them, while others inflated their life-vests, he added.
"It was a terrible flight. They were very boisterous. We were stuck for hours trying to get back," he said.
Police officers at the airport charged the men with misdemeanours under German aviation security laws which are punishable by a fine of up to €25,000 (£20,000), police said.
A possible civil damages suit from the airline could also follow.
The six men were later released. The other six members of the stag group continued their journey.
A Ryanair spokesman said the airline did not tolerate "unruly or disruptive behaviour at any time and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority".
"This is now a matter for local police," the spokesman added. | A groom whose stag party caused a Ryanair flight to be diverted because of drunken violence has called his friends' behaviour "unacceptable". | 35,691,977 | 674 | 35 | false |

On a sweaty, sticky night in the Bird's Nest, Bolt was out of the blocks quicker and opened up an unassailable lead over the first 100m before coming away down the straight and jabbing his thumbs at his chest as he crossed the line.
His 19.55 seconds was the fastest in the world this year, his speed and peerless championship class too good for American Gatlin, whose 19.74 was well outside his season's best.
Jamaican Bolt, who will also compete in the 4x100m relay, said: "It means a lot to me.

"I'm happy to be a 10-time World Championships gold medallist, especially when people have been saying I would lose.
"I had the utmost confidence. As long as my coach is confident, I'm super confident.
"The British people give me a lot of love and I will continue running fast."
South Africa's Anaso Jobodwana set a national record of 19.87, with Panama's Alonso Edwards three thousands of a second behind in fourth.
Britain's talented 20-year-old Zharnel Hughes, who trains with Bolt in Jamaica, ran a personal best of 20.02 for fifth in his first major final.
But this was all about the man metres in front, his 10th world gold just another astonishing number in a career without parallel.
For much of this season Bolt, 29, has been a struggling shadow of the man who has dominated both sprinting and his sport for the past seven years.
Coming into these championships he had raced only one 200m all summer, and that a lacklustre 20.13 in May.
Gatlin, twice banned for doping, had run more than two tenths of a second faster than any other man in the field this year, and almost half a second quicker than Bolt.
Bolt had neither the times this summer nor the races, a pelvic injury restricting his season until just a month before these championships.
But in the stadium where he smashed Michael Johnson's long-standing world record in winning Olympic 200m gold seven years ago, he was out of the blocks quicker than Gatlin.

With the American two lanes inside him, he was able to relax down the straight and celebrate as Gatlin trailed behind him once again.
Gatlin went into Sunday's 100m final, part one of their showdown, as the dominant man in world sprinting.
But, having cracked under the immense pressure of that first battle, he was once again unable to peak when he needed it most, and at 33 years old he may never have a better chance of beating his sport's superstar.
Hughes, born in the British Dependent Territory of Anguilla, formally gained British citizenship in June this year and won the national trials in some style.
And in his first major global championship he has improved throughout the rounds to confirm his potential for big finals ahead.
He will have no better exemplar than Bolt, unstoppable here once again.

Great Britain's Zharnel Hughes, who finished fifth: "He is a legend. I even doubted him a bit but he knows what to do, so credit to him and congratulations to him."

Former British sprinter Darren Campbell: "What Usain Bolt does for the sport is incredible. He's taken the sport to another level. Everywhere you go people know Usain Bolt."
BBC Radio 5 live commentator Mike Costello: "Everybody runs in a sprint race at school and can relate to what he does when he runs fast, but he gives the crowd something to remember afterwards by turning it into a party, and that's why he will be missed so much when he goes."

A prominent opponent of successive leaders, he was due to head a transitional council under a deal for President Joseph Kabila to step down.
The 84-year-old died in Belgium where he went last week for medical checks.
The information minister said he would be given a state funeral.
Mr Tshisekedi returned to Kinshasa last July to a hero's welcome after two years in Brussels for medical treatment.
His death comes at a sensitive time for DR Congo and follows fierce clashes last year when it was announced that President Kabila would stay in power until April 2018.
BBC Afrique's Anne-Marie Dias Borges says Mr Tshisekedi was a hugely popular figure in Kinshasa and nicknamed the "Sphinx of Limete", because the mythological creature reflected his long career and many political guises. Limete is his home neighbourhood in the capital.
Mr Tshisekedi's death comes as the opposition and government were negotiating the departure of President Kabila after 16 years in power.
The unfinished talks still require the creation of a transitional government and agreement on election dates. Mr Tshisekedi had been expected to chair a transition oversight committee.
He was a brave proponent of democracy. For more than half a century, a vast nation could unite behind him, against the autocracy of Mobutu Sese Seko or the Kabilas, father and son. But in that time, Mr Tshisekedi became a monument in his own right. His intransigence, at times, may have hindered democratic progress.
In the past three years of Mr Tshisekedi's illness, his son Felix has taken an increasingly prominent role. The future of the the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS) party is now in the balance. Other, younger, opposition leaders may now find room for manoeuvre in transition talks that are expected to continue under the auspices of the Congolese bishops' conference.
Witnesses say as word of his death spread in Kinshasa on Wednesday evening, clashes broke out between a small group of his supporters and police, who fired teargas.
Mourners who gathered at his son's house in Kinshasa said they were concerned about the future.
"This man sacrificed his life, his youth for us all. This man made us open our eyes. He was our icon. This man was an icon for Africa. He was great. We lost a great man," one woman told the BBC.
Another said his supporters saw him as incorruptible: "He was an historic opponent. [Nelson] Mandela was the best and Tshisekedi comes after."
Didier Reynders, the foreign minister of Belgium - the former colonial power - described Mr Tshisekedi as a "remarkable political figure".
"Belgium joins forces with the Congolese people in their grief and their desire to see his work bear fruit," the AFP news agency quotes him as saying. | Supporters of Etienne Tshisekedi, the Democratic Republic of Congo's veteran opposition leader, have gathered in the capital, Kinshasa, to express their shock at his death. | 38,839,498 | 686 | 44 | false |
Klitschko, 41, lost his heavyweight title to Tyson Fury in November 2015 - his first defeat in 11 years.
The Ukrainian will fight Joshua for his IBF title and the vacant WBA Super and IBO heavyweight belts at Wembley.
"He has to pass on the baton. I do hear it a lot, he's too old, he's faded," Joshua, 27, told BBC Radio 5 live.
"But then I try and flip it. Even if he is too old, which I think he is, he's in a good place mentally and that's a dangerous fighter.
"Timing is everything and maybe Father Time has caught up with the former champ."
Rob McCracken, who has trained Joshua since his days as an amateur, said the Ukrainian's age was a factor in his team accepting the fight.
"I'd be a liar if I said it wasn't the case. I think the last couple of fights he hasn't looked at his best," said McCracken.
"Timing is huge in boxing. Klitschko is coming to the end of his reign as a heavyweight on the planet.
"We are rolling the dice with Anthony in this situation. It's a huge step up in terms of experience and the calibre of the opponent but we think the timing is right."
In 2014, Joshua visited Klitschko's training camp to help the Ukrainian prepare for his bout with Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev, which he won.
And Joshua, unbeaten in 18 fights since turning professional in 2013, believes he has come a long way since the two last met three years ago.
"I am a completely different person now. I'm at a place now where he's obsessed with beating me and I'm confident," he said.
"I'm not a gym fighter. If I'm depending on his age and he's depending on the sparring from years ago then he will definitely get it wrong.
"He's got to come across a young lion who studies the game.
"Whatever type of fight he wants to fight, if it goes down the route of us two swinging until the cows come home, I don't think I will back out.

The British stars are due to start rehearsals for the off-Broadway Shakespeare production next week.
James Bond actor Craig will play Iago with Oyelowo in the title role.
Previews for the sold-out play, directed by Sam Gold, begin at New York Theater Workshop on 22 November.
Over the weekend Craig added to intense speculation about his future as 007 when he described Bond as "the best job in the world".
Asked this week whether he would be discussing Bond with his co-star, Oyelowo said: "There will be lots of backstage banter on that. I'll see how much I get paid to break the story! Who knows? But I think we'll be concentrating on Shakespeare."
Oyelowo told the BBC he had not been on stage for about 10 years and was "really looking forward to it".
"It's always nerve-wracking being on stage - that's partly why you do it," he said.
"I am always looking for opportunities to scare myself, to challenge myself - that's the way you become better as an actor. So this is another opportunity to do that."
He said that preparations for Othello had been "challenging" because he had been busy promoting two films - A United Kingdom and Queen of Katwe - at the London Film Festival.
"I've had to focus on that but as of next week I'll be in a rehearsal room and I will shut the world out and we'll go for it," he said.
Oyelowo began his stage career in 1999 with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He was the first black actor to play an English king in a major Shakespeare production in the RSC's 2001 staging of Henry VI.
He has also starred in BBC spy drama Spooks and played Martin Luther King in 2014 film Selma.

Jess Greaney was hospitalised by the infection and said her swollen eye looked like a "huge red golf ball".
Miss Greaney, 18, of Birmingham, believes she caught the infection from water at her University of Nottingham halls of residence.
Many water sources contain the microscopic organism she was affected by, but infections are rare.
Miss Greaney told BBC 5 live's Afternoon Edition she first sought medical attention when her eye started to close sporadically.
"It was originally diagnosed as an ulcer," she said.
A week later she was diagnosed with an infection called acanthamoeba keratitis,
"It was eating through the cornea of my eye, which obviously affects your sight," she said.
"How they managed to start the treatment was intensive eye-drops every hour for four days and then it slowly decreased."
She said she was "really, really careful with my lenses", but believes water splashed on them when they were next to her sink, in a glass of solution.
Specialists at Moorfields Eye Hospital have noticed a rise in eye infections among contact lens wearers and are warning users to take extra care.

Miss Greaney wants other contact lens users to be aware of the risks.
"There was a moment where I asked the doctor I said 'Am I ever going to get better?' and it was really hard for them to say," she said.
"Everything was completely blurry. I could just see colours rather than actual things."
David Harper, from Leisure Property Services, said the town suffered from a bad reputation as a low quality resort.
Mr Harper said it needed to be re-branded to attract a wealthier market and changing its name would be a cost effective way of reinventing the town.
East Lindsey District Council dismissed the idea and said the traditional British resort had mass appeal.
Councillor Adam Grist said: "The suggestion that changing the name would solve all the problems in one fell swoop is a ridiculous suggestion.
"Hundreds and thousands of people visit Skegness every summer because of the idea that it is a traditional British resort and everything that offers," he said.
"What we've tried to do as a council over the last few years is to encourage Skegness to evolve whilst retaining the traditional offer."
Nigel Tett, from the Skegness, East Coast and Wolds Hospitality Association, agreed with Mr Grist and said he thought the idea of a name change was "absolutely crazy".
"Skegness is one of the most recognised names within this country and that is borne out by Visit England who say Skegness and Lincoln are two of the main attractors within this part of the world."
Mr Harper, who values and sells hotels across the country, admitted that Skegness was a very famous name but he said it came with baggage.
"Most of the people I speak to, who don't know Skegness think it's one of the grottier resorts in the country," he said.
"They have a perception of it being all caravans and slot machines. They have no clue that it has one of the best beaches there in the whole of the UK.
"If you weren't to drop the name you would have an awful lot of work to do to change some people's perceptions of the town."
He said the name change would have to be part of a complete re-marketing campaign.
Lily Partridge suffered a head injury when she was fatally injured during a county training event earlier this month.
The part time teacher and zookeeper, 22, from Exeter, carried two donor cards.
Her organs were retrieved before her life support machine was turned off.
Around 400 mourners, some wearing rugby shirts, turned up for Miss Partridge's funeral at Exeter Cathedral on Tuesday.
The congregation heard: "Lily's family would like to share something with you all today, just three days before Christmas, the traditional time for giving and receiving.
"Lily gave her Christmas gifts early. She has given the gift of life to four total strangers and more people will benefit in the weeks and months ahead."
"Three young adults and a middle aged person have now been saved and face a New Year with a new lease of life and full of hope."
Ms Partridge, who collapsed by the side of the pitch after being injured at North Tawton's Devon ground earlier in December, had a history of concussions.
Her family has stressed that no one was to blame for the accident two weeks ago and said Miss Partridge had been at the happiest point on her life both personally and professionally.
The front rower was a founder member of the Exonian ladies rugby team based at Topsham, Devon, and had played the game for 18 months.
On the first night everyone got really drunk and Claire passed out at the bar.
Later, she woke up in her room fully-clothed and says she could barely move she was so drunk - and then she blacked out again.
This is what happened to Claire next and just a warning that you might find some of her story upsetting:
"When I woke up again it was because one of the guys I was in a mixed dorm with was on top of me," Claire says. It's not her real name. She asked us to change it.
"I kept trying to push him off and say 'no', but I was still just completely, completely drunk and I could barely move.
"I was saying 'no', but it wasn't meaning anything to him, he wasn't stopping, he wasn't acknowledging anything," she explains.
"The next thing I wake up and he's still in the room.
"He's just in the bed next to me and I get up and go have a bath and I just sit there trying to process what happened.
"But it took so long to even be able to acknowledge that what happened that night was actually rape," she says.
"Anyway, I eventually ended up telling a couple of friends, I think about five people now actually know.
"It's so easy to think that perhaps you're exaggerating, perhaps you're remembering things wrongly, perhaps in some way it is your fault," she says.
"It just didn't seem to fit. I knew my attacker. I knew who he was, it just seemed so wrong.
That's why Claire thinks the new guidelines on consent in rape cases are so important: "It's enabling people to feel empowered to come forward and say 'yes I was drunk', but that doesn't mean that I'm responsible.
"Rape is rape at the end of the day. It happens to men too," she points out.
"Just because you're drunk, perhaps you've taken drugs, it doesn't make any difference.
"There shouldn't be any grey area and victims shouldn't be made to feel guilty - that's wrong and I'm so glad that that's going to change."

Colin Maclachlan, 42, from Edinburgh, wrote about how he had killed "two or three" mortally wounded enemy soldiers in Iraq in 2003 in a new book.
Killing mortally wounded soldiers is against British military law and the Geneva Convention.
The MoD would not comment on the reported military police inquiry.
Sgt Maclachlan said the killings took place on the Syrian border in March 2003, where an SAS squad fired rockets at enemy units. After the attack Mr Maclachlan discovered two Iraqi soldiers who had been disembowelled and another that had lost three limbs.
Sgt Maclachlan, who appeared on the Channel 4 show SAS: Who Dares Wins, said that the injured soldiers were "pleading for us to do it".
He wrote: "Special Forces operatives quickly put them out of their misery, rather than leaving them to die slowly and in agony."
It is part of a new book on SAS Who Dares Wins: Leadership Secrets From The Special Forces.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, the former soldier said he was informed of a military police investigation by email.
He added: "Our motives were entirely humane. I'll happily go to court, I'll happily go to jail, if you think I've done wrong. But people should put themselves in my position first. Walk around in my boots, then judge me."
Although the MoD would not comment on Mr Maclachlan's accusations, a spokeswoman said: "Credible allegations of criminal behaviour will always be investigated properly."
Window Shopping, at Seventeen on the city's Belmont Street, features pictures from the 1950s through to the 1980s.
Among the images are some drawn from a collection which was donated to Aberdeen City and Shire Archives by the city's planning department.
The exhibition runs from Friday until 16 December.
Many of the featured images are from the Union Street, George Street and St Nicholas Street areas.
'Bit of nostalgia'
Included are George Street's Rubber Shop, from the 1970s, and Woolworths.
A spokesperson for Aberdeen City Archives said: "Whenever the archives team post images of old shop fronts on Facebook or our website they always get a great response.
"It was these positive reactions that gave us the idea of staging this exhibition.
"We then decided to hold the exhibition in the run up to Christmas when many are doing their Christmas shopping. Not only will this offer a break to weary shoppers, it also provides a bit of nostalgia - and who doesn't love a bit of nostalgia at Christmas."
You can hear more about the Window Shopping exhibition on BBC Radio Scotland's Out for the Weekend on Friday from 14:00.
O'Sullivan, 40, was the last winner of the Northern Ireland Trophy, the last world ranking tournament to be hosted by World Snooker in Belfast, in 2008.
The five-time world champion faces a busy autumn schedule.
O'Sullivan has also entered the English Open in Manchester, the Shanghai Masters, the European Championship and the International Championship.
Last season, O'Sullivan, currently ranked world number 10, did not play competitively until December.
The Irish Open will see 128 of the world's leading players compete in Belfast from 14-20 November.
The tournament is part of the new Home Nations quartet of events, with any player winning all four tournaments receiving a £1m bonus.
Total prize money for each of the Home Nations events will be £366,000, with the winner to receive £70,000.
The first of the four tournaments, the English Open, will take place in October, followed by the Irish Open, the Scottish Open in December and the Welsh Open in February 2017.
A report presented to the meeting will call for a moratorium on their use while the ethical questions they raise are debated.
The robots are machines programmed in advance to take out people or targets, which - unlike drones - operate autonomously on the battlefield.
They are being developed by the US, UK and Israel, but have not yet been used.
Supporters say the "lethal autonomous robots", as they are technically known, could save lives, by reducing the number of soldiers on the battlefield.
But human rights groups argue they raise serious moral questions about how we wage war, reports the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva.
They include: Who takes the final decision to kill? Can a robot really distinguish between a military target and civilians?
If there are serious civilian casualties, they ask, who is to be held responsible? After all, a robot cannot be prosecuted for a war crime.
"The traditional approach is that there is a warrior, and there is a weapon," says Christof Heyns, the UN expert examining their use, "but what we now see is that the weapon becomes the warrior, the weapon takes the decision itself."
The moratorium called for by the UN report is not the complete ban human rights groups want, but it will give time to answer some of those questions, our correspondent says.
McGuigan has announced a partnership with Sanigar Promotions, who feature several Welsh boxers on their books.
The new partnership will begin when Bristol's Lee Haskins defends his IBF world bantamweight title against Ivan Morales on 14 May at the new venue.
"We are here partly for this arena," McGuigan said.
"It is a fantastic venue in a developing part of Cardiff. We are looking forward to trying to fill it.
"It is a new page for Welsh boxing. We have turned over a new leaf."
Ice Arena Wales in Cardiff Bay which opened earlier this month. as the new home of the Cardiff Devils ice hockey team and McGuigan is impressed with the venue.
Cardiff's Craig Kennedy and Barry-based Andrew Selby will also feature on the bill, with a crowd of over 3,000 expected.
Unbeaten Selby, 27, will face Louis Norman in what could be a British flyweight title fight, subject to British Boxing Board of Control ratification.
Selby, brother of current World IBF Featherweight champion Lee Selby, is one of the fighters McGuigan believes can benefit from the agreement.
"Andrew Selby has a lot of talent. This kid has been an elite fighter for seven years," McGuigan said.
McGuigan believes boxing rivals the popularity of rugby in Wales.
"In Wales apart from rugby, and on some occasions as much as rugby, the sport of boxing has done more than maybe any other sport," he said.
"There's a wealth of talent and that inspires another pool of talent, so we are entering very exciting times.
"There are so many young kids there on the back of Nathan Cleverly, Enzo Maccarinelli and Joe Calzaghe.
"The Celts love their boxing, they're different.
I have been down here in the days of Joe Calzaghe and Steve Robinson and it was a brilliant atmosphere and full of passion. This is the place to be."
He was speaking at a discussion at the MacGill Summer School in Glenties about north-south relationships on Wednesday.
Mr Poots also said he was" not opposed in principle" to legislative support for the Irish language.
Demands for an Irish Language Act were understood to have been a sticking point for parties during power sharing talks in June.
In April, DUP party leader Arlene Foster said thank you in Irish during a visit to a school.
At the end of the speech Mr Poots said: "Maireann an chraobh ar an bhfál ach ní mhaireann an lámh do chuir.
"Forgive my broken Irish, but for those of you who, like me, are not fluent it translates to: 'The branch lives on the hedge though the hand that planted it be dead.'
"It's an old Irish saying reminding us of our mortality and that our actions today will live long after we are gone.
"May we work together both north-south and east-west to ensure the best for all these British Isles."
He said: "Anyone who speaks and loves the Irish language is as much a part of Northern Ireland life as a collarette-wearing Orangeman.
"I want them to feel at home and feel respected and part of society."
Edwin Poots also spelt out his opposition to bilingual road signs, a quota for Irish speaking civil servants or a commissioner with powers to sanction public authorities.
When asked if the DUP's position on a stand alone Irish language act had changed, Mr Poots said it was a question of balance.
"We will not have one culture denigrated and another culture elevated, we need to move forward together," he said.
Mr Poots told the BBC that the DUP would work to "ensure all cultures are respected" but that he suspected the "Irish Language Act is an excuse because Sinn Féin didn't want to do governance in Northern Ireland".
"They're afraid of making hard decisions on welfare reform for example, and they're afraid to make hard decisions around Brexit and be laboured with that.
"They are after other things, but the Irish language is a useful tool to them," he added.
Sinn Féin's deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald also addressed the event and talked about the need to restore the power sharing institutions.
The Dublin Central TD also hit out at "effigies of Martin McGuinness" that were "burnt on unionist bonfires" on the Eleventh Night.
"Unionist leaders were silent," she said.
"Posters of Sinn Féin and SDLP assembly members were all set alight, as were those from the Alliance Party.
"We need to call out these actions for what they are - this is not colourful pageantry; it is the ugliest side of sectarianism.
"It is a hate crime, and it sucks the hope of future generations," she said.
The newly crowned champions resumed on 82-4, 318 runs in arrears after Hampshire's 400-9 declared.
Only 7.4 overs were bowled, however, before the teams left the field for bad light and rain later arrived to end play for the day.
Yorkshire opener Alex Lees was 37 not out, with partner Tim Bresnan on 12.
Unless Hampshire can bowl the White Rose county out cheaply on the final day, they will have to settle for a draw, which will probably ensure they go into next week's final game away at Nottinghamshire in one of the Division One relegation places.
However, if they can pick up maximum bowling points, they could slightly close the 11-point gap on Sussex and Somerset, whose game at Hove was also rain-affected on the third day.
MSPs on the finance committee will look at what the new Scottish rate of income tax (SRIT) should be set at when it comes into effect next year.
The new powers are part of the 2012 Scotland Act.
The move means the UK Treasury will deduct 10p from standard and upper rates of income tax in Scotland, with MSPs then deciding how to raise cash.
The committee will also consider if companies and individuals are prepared for the introduction of the new levy in April.
The new powers will mean people north of the border could potentially pay a higher or lower rate than taxpayers in the rest of the UK.
As part of its work scrutinising the 2016-17 budget, the finance committee will consider what the extra cash raised could be spent on if the SRIT is higher than 10p.
They will also look at how any reduction in the SRIT could be funded from the Scottish budget.
Committee convener Kenneth Gibson said: "From next year, revenue from the Scottish rate of income tax will be a significant part of the money spent on Scotland's public services.
"There are key decisions to be made on the level the Scottish rate should be set at and how taxpayers and employers are informed about the introduction of SRIT."
He added: "It is important for the finance committee to scrutinise the introduction of this new power and I would encourage people to submit their views to inform the committee's inquiry."
Earlier this week a new Scotland Bill was published by the UK government.
The 76-page document outlined the Conservative government's plan to give tax-raising powers to Scotland.
It follows recommendations made by the cross-party Smith Commission which was set up to look at devolving more powers.
It was found after the vehicle was stopped and searched on the M50 roundabout at junction 4 in Ballymun shortly before midnight local time on Saturday.
The operation was part of an ongoing investigation targeting serious criminal activity in the Dublin area.
A 32-year-old man was arrested at the scene.
He has since been released without charge.
Konta, the world number 10, was in impressive form as she beat the Canadian in one hour and eight minutes.
The first set was tied at 2-2 before Konta reeled off seven games in a row on the way to victory.
She will now play world number three Agnieszka Radwanska, who beat Barbora Strycova 6-1 6-2, in Friday's final.
Konta, who has one tour title to her name, has played Radwanska twice before and lost each time.
The most recent of those defeats came in the China Open final last October.
The match, which will be shown live on BBC Alba, has a 12:30 GMT kick-off.
Dundee United overcame Queen of the South 3-2 in Saturday's semi-final and St Mirren came from behind to beat The New Saints 4-1 on Sunday.
TNS were one of two Welsh sides to feature in this year's competition, with two from Northern Ireland also taking part.
Next season, League of Ireland sides Sligo Rovers and Bray Wanderers will play in the cup tournament, which is run by the Scottish Professional Football League and involving teams from the Scottish Championship, League One and League Two.
United have never won the Challenge Cup but fellow Championship side St Mirren took the trophy in 2005.
"We're delighted to make today's announcement that Fir Park will stage this season's Irn-Bru Cup Final, including making tickets available to fans from as little as £5," said SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster.
"We wish both clubs the very best of luck for the final and hope they produce a classic for supporters in the stadium and those watching live on BBC Alba."

Midfielder Byrne, 27, has attracted interest from former County boss Justin Edinburgh, who's pushing for promotion in League One with Gillingham.
Edinburgh confirmed to the BBC earlier this week that he considered moving for Byrne in the transfer window.
"It shows what a good player Byrney is. He's captain of this club for a reason," Feeney said.
"There are a few players who, I'm sure, there will be a fight to keep but we want to stay up first and cross that bridge when we come to it."
Feeney isn't taking the interest in the player personally, however.
"I'm disappointed Justin didn't want to sign me," laughed Feeney.
"Justin's a great lad, he was on my pro licence course.
"But that's football and it shows you Byrney's one of my best players."
Edinburgh signed Byrne from Barnet, who visit Rodney Parade this weekend.
Ex-Tottenham defender Edinburgh was Newport boss between 2011-15.
Feeney, who is Newport's third manager of the season, is now targeting more changes to his squad ahead of the re-opening of the loan window on Tuesday.
"There was one or two I was hopeful of getting before the [transfer] window so there could be stuff happening," he explained.
"We're speaking to potential loan players and those who may be unattached."
Jose Mourinho's side needed three points to complete the triumph that has become an inevitability in recent weeks as they moved out of sight of their rivals to reclaim the crown from Manchester City, who are 13 points adrift despite their win at Tottenham.
Victory was secured by Eden Hazard's goal on the stroke of half-time, the Belgian heading past Julian Speroni after the Palace goalkeeper had saved the PFA Player of the Year's penalty.

That gave Mourinho his third title as Chelsea manager, and the first of his second spell in charge. It is the club's fifth top-flight title and comes five years after their last and 60 years since their first.
The celebrations that swept around Stamford Bridge at the final whistle were fully deserved for a Chelsea side who have set the pace since the start of the season.
They played with flair and verve to make an all-conquering start then showed the ruthless efficiency that is the hallmark of all Mourinho sides after losing leading scorer Diego Costa for a crucial closing phase of the campaign.
At the head of it all was the master strategist Mourinho, adding the title to the Capital One Cup won against Tottenham at Wembley and vindicating Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's decision to turn, once again, to the manager who brought him his first successes with titles in 2004-05 and 2005-06.
Banners were draped from the Shed End at Stamford Bridge in honour of Mourinho, bearing slogans such as: "The Special One - He's One Of Us." And while the Portuguese may be a divisive figure elsewhere, there is no doubting his heroic status at Chelsea after the successes he has engineered.
The statistics back up Mourinho's brilliance as this was his eighth title in 12 years with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
This decisive victory over Palace may not have been achieved with sparkling football but the title win was closed out with the nerveless professionalism of a team that knew what needed to be done and did it - as they have so often.
And when it was done and hundreds of blue streamers littered the Stamford Bridge turf before Chelsea's elated players took a lap of honour with Abramovich looking on, the challenge was laid down to the chasing pack to respond to the domination Mourinho has now re-established in west London.

Chelsea's title win has been built on a mixture of the old guard, such as inspirational captain John Terry, who has rolled back the years magnificently, and the newer breed, such as the brilliant Hazard and those key summer signings Cesc Fabregas and Costa.
The chants of "Boring Boring Chelsea" - started by Arsenal's fans and repeated here by Palace supporters - carry a hollow ring as Mourinho's side have proved without question that they are the Premier League's outstanding side led by the Premier League's outstanding manager.
They were forced to make a late adjustment to their starting line-up when Ramires was taken ill and Juan Cuadrado was drafted in.
For all the energy on the pitch and expectation off it, the first half was a non-event until Hazard's penalty - apart from some wayward handling from Palace keeper Speroni, who fumbled Didier Drogba's free-kick having almost let in Nemanja Matic with a wild punch.
The deadlock was broken right on half-time when Hazard surged into the area before tumbling theatrically under James McArthur's challenge.
Palace clearly felt Hazard made the most of slight contact - which he certainly did - and their frustration increased when the Belgian reacted first after his penalty was saved by Speroni, heading the rebound past the stranded keeper.

There was the sense of the inevitable about proceedings as Chelsea moved towards a triumphant conclusion after the break, with only a Jason Puncheon shot that flew inches wide and a Wilfried Zaha effort that was blocked by Thibaut Courtois threatening to delay the coronation.
All the tension and pressure of the final few weeks were released when referee Kevin Friend blew his whistle, the normally impassive Abramovich punching the air as Chelsea returned to the pinnacle of the domestic game.

The weeks-old baby bird has made an "incredible" recovery since eating the tweezers while being hand-fed, an RSPCA spokesman said.
The male jackdaw was rushed for specialist animal surgery in Cheshire on Monday from a garden in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, where it was found.
The tweezers stretched almost the full length of the bird's body.
Vets were concerned the young bird would die from the internal damage but it is now on the mend after an "intricate hour-long procedure", RSPCA vet Bev Panto said.
"When I saw the X-rays and the size of the tweezers he had swallowed, I thought there was absolutely no chance this poor jackdaw could survive.
"The tweezers stretched the whole length of his digestive system - right from his crop to his intestines and the sharp ends were piercing through his skin."
The vet said the tweezers were removed by opening up the bird's stomach.
"We think it is possible this bird was being hand-fed and then tried to eat more than just the food.
"He has proved quite the little fighter. He seems as right as rain and has been eating well ever since.
"He obviously has quite the tweezer fetish though so we have to be extra careful when feeding him!"
She said it was "the most incredible case" she had ever seen in six years as a wildlife vet.
"Whilst he still has a long way to go, and lots of healing to do, he has amazed us all so far, and we are hopeful we will be able to see him through to release."
Outside of London, Northern Ireland has the highest rate of unemployment for the over-50s in the UK.
The Office of National Statistics put the rate at 4.5%, despite the number of unemployed people in the age group falling in recent years.
However, unemployment in later life continues to be a problem, particularly after the closure of numerous factories in recent years.
It's a hardship that Ken and Mairead Stewart, from County Fermanagh, know all about.
The couple were made redundant when Unipork, a bacon-processing factory in Enniskillen, closed its gates in 2002.
Mairead was 55 and Ken was 50. Despite applying for numerous jobs, they never worked again.
"We applied and we tried and did everything, but there was no chance of anything at that time," said Ken.
"When you work all your life, it's degrading."
"It took the economy out of the town," added Mairead.
"Five hundred people spent a tenner on a Friday evening and a lot of other people would have done their shopping before they went home to Lisnaskea and other areas."
A number of high-profile factory closures in County Antrim have also had a major impact on those who spent most of their working lives in the companies.
Tommy Kerr was made redundant at 58, when the Ballymena firm Patton closed in 2012. He had worked for the company for 40 years.
Tommy has since found employment and said that people in their 50s should take ownership of their career path and try to get new skills.
"It was a shock when it happened," he recalled.
"I didn't even have a CV. My generation was brought up with pounds, shillings and pence.
"Everything moves so fast now. It's up to you to keep in step with that, or else you are going to get left behind and, to be honest, maybe I left myself a wee bit behind."
"People in their 50s are wise enough to what is in front of them," he added. "I think the daunting task is interviews, particularly if you have worked in one place for 40 years.
"Ordinary working people who haven't got a lot of qualifications should get a bit of help down the line, to give them confidence to move on to another job, with better prospects - even if they are over 50.
"Towns are struggling, people are struggling and money is really tight."
Rodney Quigley, 52, works as a tyre producer for Michelin in Ballymena. He will be losing his job in June 2018.
He said that many made redundant in their 50s are lucky because they may be entitled to a good pension - something that younger generations may not benefit from.
"The money I'm getting at the minute is very good and there's not another job out there, in the Ballymena or broader area, that you will get that sort of money," he said.
"A lot of the boys in the factory are currently doing their heavy-goods vehicle licences.
"There are jobs out there for that, but it's not for everybody. A lot of the jobs out there are minimum wage."
He added: "I felt deflated when I heard I was losing my job. I've been there 31 years and I thought it would see me through until my late 50s, early 60s.
"I'm in a position I can look towards getting my pension at 55, there is a lot of young boys out there still in their 20s, 30s and 40s who are going to have to try and find other employment."
The runner-up is a similar-looking red, white and blue design.
The final result will be announced on Tuesday after late and overseas votes are counted.
New Zealanders will now have a second vote, which will be held in March 2016, to decide whether to adopt the new flag, or keep the existing one.
New Zealanders were asked to choose which of five designs they preferred.
About 48% of people allowed to vote took part, which has divided opinion in New Zealand over its cost and timing.
The winner and runner-up flags were both designed by Kyle Lockwood, and feature New Zealand icons the silver fern and the Southern Cross.
The decision to choose a new flag has been backed by New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key, who has said the current one is too similar to Australia's and that it is time to remove the Union Jack, which represents the UK, from the flag.
Mohamed Amoudi, 21, was deported to the UK from Turkey in 2015, but released without charge.
Police said they foiled an active terror plot when they raided a house in Willesden, north-west London.
A 21-year-old woman who was shot during the operation remains in hospital.
Police foil 'active terror plot'
Mr Amoudi was arrested on Thursday after the raid in Harlesden Road - the house had been under observation by police.
It has now emerged that he had travelled with two 17-year-old boys to Turkey, and they were believed to be heading for Syria.
They were sent back to the UK and all three were released without charge after being questioned by British authorities.
A 20-year-old woman, a 16-year-old boy, and a man and woman both aged 28 were also arrested, as well as a 43-year-old woman, who was arrested at another raid in Kent.
All of them were detained on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts.
The woman who was shot is under police guard in hospital but has not been arrested "due to her condition".
It is believed to be the first time a woman has been shot by police in 10 years. The last time was in 2007 when Ann Sanderson was fatally shot in Kent.
The Willesden raid has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission and the Met's directorate of professional standards, as is procedure.
The IPCC said it was gathering evidence but that no officers were under investigation.
A neighbour living close to the raided property told the BBC she had reported its residents to authorities on several occasions, for anti-social behaviour.
She claimed there was often noise throughout the night, including the sound of prayer, and that on several occasions she had reported the residents to the police and local authorities over the noise.
During one incident, the neighbour claimed, she was verbally abused and her door was kicked.
A cleaning company was run from the property, the neighbour said.
On Thursday, police also arrested a 27-year-old man at the junction of Parliament Street and Parliament Square, in London, as part of an intelligence-led operation.
He was identified on Friday as Khalid Mohamed Omar Ali, a British national who is believed to have gone to school in Tottenham, north London, but was not born in the UK.
The Met said he had been detained on suspicion of terrorism offences and that knives were recovered from the scene.
It has now emerged that he had spent some time in Afghanistan and returned to the UK at the end of last year.
He had been on the force's radar for some time and it is thought police acted after a concerned family member contacted them.
The Metropolitan Police said the two counter-terrorism operations were not linked.
Neil Basu, deputy assistant commissioner, said that in both cases he believed "we have contained the threats that they pose".

The Ulster hosts dominated from the start and Peter Brown opened the scoring before an Alex Burns own goal doubled their lead.
The tie was made safe three minutes before the interval when Eugene Magee dribbled the ball into the circle before finishing on the reverse stick.
Corinthians and UCD also progressed to the semi-finals.
Mossley went down to a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Corinthians while Cookstown once again lost out to UCD.
The Dublin university side had relegated Cookstown from the Irish Hockey League last season by winning the play-off and again left the Ulster side devastated by winning this cup tie on penalty strokes after the game finished 1-1.
Banbridge bossed the game from the first minute when a long overhead from Matthew Bell forced a penalty corner.
While the execution wasn't perfect the situation was retrieved by Johnny McKee and his pass found the unmarked Brown and he put the hosts ahead.
The second goal came as a result of constant pressure from Banbridge.
Once again McKee was instrumental in the build up and his cross from the left was turned into his own net by Burns before Magee added the third.
The other quarter-final tie between Instonians and Monkstown was postponed because of a frozen pitch at Shaw's Bridge.
The semi-final draw will take place on Monday.
They come originally from the state of Bihar in eastern India.
Biharis absolutely love litti chokha, as - in truth - do most people who taste it.
Put it like this, the first time I went to the Bihari capital, Patna, I had people in my office begging me to bring some back.
I said I'd do my best, but warned I was unlikely to be allowed any food through airport security checks.
Nevertheless, I arrived for the return flight with two big bags full of the stuff.
The security officers at Patna airport sniffed suspiciously, but, when I told them what and why, they broke into smiles and waved me right on through.
Clearly they judged it was more important to get a consignment of the state's most celebrated street food to hungry fans than enforce a few petty restrictions and regulations.
Litti are pastry balls, packed full of a spicy mash made with sattu - roasted chickpea flour.
They are roasted in beds of charcoal - or, sadly a rarity these days, dried cow dung - and then dipped in salty melted ghee, clarified butter.
This is the 15th article in a BBC series India on a plate, on the diversity and vibrancy of Indian food. Other stories in the series:
The dark history behind India and the UK's favourite drink
The Indian state that is obsessed with beef fry
Why this Indian state screams for ice cream
How home chefs are helping uncover India's food secrets
Amma canteen: Where a meal costs only seven cents
A couple of these will be served with a decent dollop of chokha, as well as some yoghurt sauce and a scoop of hot, sour pickle.
Yes, I thought that would get your mouth watering.
You find litti wherever Biharis go, and since Biharis go almost everywhere in India, that means you've got a chance of tasting this delicious snack almost anywhere in the country.
You've got to keep your eyes peeled, though. Look out for the tell-tale pall of smoke from the charcoal and the queue of wiry, tough-looking men.
Wiry men, because one of the few things Bihar is famous for in India - apart from litti - is migration.
The state capital was once the greatest centre of learning and culture on the sub-continent.
When the Greek ambassador Megasthenes visited in 302 BC - yes, it was a while back - he was stunned by Pataliputra, as Patna was then known.
The city stretched for nearly 10 miles along the banks of the Ganges.
It had, Megasthenes reported, 64 gates and 570 towers, not to mention gardens, palaces, temples and stables full of war elephants.
"I have seen the great cities of the east," he wrote, "I have seen the Persian palaces of Susa and Ecbatana, but this is the greatest city in the world."
No visitor would say that of Patna today.
Buddha achieved enlightenment in Bihar, the state was home to world's first residential university and was the powerbase from which Ashoka built the first pan-Indian empire, famous for its tolerance and pluralism.
But sadly the capital has not - how shall I put this? - retained the elegance of the ancient city.
Truth be told, modern Patna is a great sprawling, poverty-stricken megatropolis.
Which should be no surprise because Bihar has a population of over 100 million people, larger than any western European country, and is one of the poorest states in India.
It recorded an average per capita income of just $682 (£516) in 2015, less than half of the $1,627 (£1,233) average income nationally.
Last year, I managed to get hold of a copy of a vast health survey carried out by the Indian government with the UN agency for children, Unicef.
The report had been due for publication in October 2014 but the Indian government had decided to keep it secret.
Flip though page after page of statistics and you can see why. You'll also discover why so many Biharis have decided to go in search of work elsewhere.
The report shows that in 2013-14 half of children under the age of five in Bihar were stunted, a third were underweight and three quarters of households practised open defecation.
Now comes the good news.
A few years ago a new technocratic state government made tackling graft and promoting economic growth its priority, and Bihar - which had become a byword for caste division, crime and corruption - started scoring double-digit growth.
That's good news for the people of Bihar, but not for lovers of litti, like me.
Because here's the rub: as a result, migration from the state has fallen dramatically.
The fear is that the litti chokha stalls dotted across India that ensure that Bihari migrants still get a taste of the best of home will pack up shop and go home too.
Then this wonderful street food snack will be even harder to find.
But this collection of pictures has immense historic value.
They are the first ever photographs documenting a war in Latin America.
They show the War of the Triple Alliance, a conflict which raged from 1865 to 1870 and which pitched Paraguay against Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.
It was one of the deadliest military conflicts in South American history with approximately 400,000 fatalities.
In Paraguay, which lost more than half of its population to the conflict, it is also known as the Great War.
The pictures are part of an exhibition currently touring Paraguay and commemorating the 150th anniversary of the start of the war.
But they were taken not with history in mind, but for purely commercial reasons.
They are, in fact, part of an unusual business venture launched by an American of Irish descent called George Thomas Bate.
Mr Bate had opened a photography shop in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo in 1864.
That same year, Uruguay was rocked by a coup.
Paraguay backed ousted president Bernardo Prudencio Berro, while Uruguay's neighbours Argentina and Brazil sided with coup leader Gen Venancio Flores.
As he observed the magnitude of the war grow, Mr Bate had an idea.
He had recently visited the United States during the Civil War and had noticed a blossoming new trade: the sale of war pictures.
Families whose sons, fathers, brothers or husbands had gone to war were willing to pay money for images of the battlefields where their loved ones were fighting.
In 1866, a year after the start of the War of the Triple Alliance, Mr Bate requested permission from the new Uruguayan government to send a photographer to the front.
The photographer he chose for the task was a Uruguayan called Javier Lopez.
Mr Lopez travelled with an assistant to the 100km-wide front line.
Herculean task
At that time newspapers were not yet able to print photographs so Mr Lopez was the only photographer on the battlefield.
Photography expert Luis Vera told BBC Mundo about the Herculean task that Mr Lopez faced.
"At that time pictures were taken using a technique called the collodion process, which required an enormous amount of equipment", said Mr Vera.
"The kit included a heavy camera, fragile glass plates and chemicals that had to be carried all the way to the battlefields."
While American photographers of the Civil War used vehicles to carry their equipment, Mr Lopez and his assistant had to use backpacks.
Another challenge was the time it took to shoot each picture.
"The photographer had to prepare the wet plate, then take the picture, which required that people photographed stood still for up to 13 seconds, and finally he had to develop the photo in a tent that was used as a dark room," explained Mr Vera.
The long time it took to process each image and the impossibility of shooting moving objects explains why most of the photos included in the exhibit are static and show no action, despite it being a war.
In the end, the venture turned out to be a commercial failure.
Even though Mr Bate publicised the photos in Uruguayan and Argentine papers, historians claim the 22 images compiled in an album called The Illustrated War did not catch the attention of the public, many of whom were against the war.
In 1869, Mr Bate sold his photography store and moved to Buenos Aires.
There, he tried a completely different line of work and opened a shoe store.
His historic pictures of the war became part of the collection of the National Library of Uruguay, which loaned the photographs to Paraguay for this special touring exhibition.
The War of the Triple Alliance ended on 1 March 1870 with the death on the battlefield of the Paraguayan president.
Paraguay was left devastated, its territory temporarily occupied by Brazilian forces and its population decimated.
In 1885 Uruguay became the first country of the Triple Alliance to return its war trophies to Paraguay, thereby normalising relations between the two Latin American nations.
The Tibetan spiritual leader told The Australian that he hoped Ms Suu Kyi could do something about the issue.
The Dalai Lama said that he was especially alarmed by the plight of thousands of Rohingyas stranded at sea.
Ms Suu Kyi has faced international criticism for refusing to speak out about the Rohingya issue.
The Rohingya are not recognised as citizens of Myanmar (Burma) by the authorities there and are effectively stateless.
In his interview with The Australian, the Dalai Lama appealed to all of Myanmar's Buddhists to "remember the face of the Buddha" when dealing with the Rohingya minority.
He said that he had urged Ms Suu Kyi to act over the issue twice since 2012, when an outbreak of interfaith violence erupted in Myanmar's Rakhine state.
"It's very sad. In the Burmese case I hope Aung San Suu Kyi, as a Nobel laureate, can do something," he told the newspaper.
"I met her two times, first in London and then the Czech RepublÂic. I mentioned about this problem and she told me she found some difficulties, that things were not simple but very complicated.
"But in spite of that I feel she can do something."
Ms Suu Kyi, 69, has defended her reticence over alleged Rohingya persecution by saying she is a politician and not a human rights defender.
She argues that the problem of thousands of Rohingya migrants who have fled Myanmar - and are now believed to be stranded at sea - was for the government to solve.
The BBC's Jonah Fisher in Myanmar says that the Dalai Lama is the latest international figure to call for Ms Suu Kyi to speak out.
South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu has also expressed concern over their plight.
Our correspondent says that Myanmar is due to hold a general election in November and many see her silence as political pragmatism - she knows that many Burmese are openly hostile to the Rohingya minority.
But it is far from clear whether she actually has much sympathy for the Rohingyas, our correspondent adds.
South Yorkshire Police was called to the Parson Cross estate after reports of shots on three separate roads, between 21:30 and 23:10 BST on Monday.
The girl suffered minor injuries on Deerlands Close, where shots were fired at the door of a house.
Vehicles were also shot on Barrie Crescent and Lindsay Avenue. Police believe the incidents are linked.
Roads remain closed while police investigate.
Carol Wilson who lives nearby said the incident had frightened local residents: "It's not safe like it used to be when we were kids - I daren't let mine out. I've got five kids and I don't like them going out."
The 20-part series, based on the books of Charles Dickens, started on Boxing Day with five million viewers but it fell to an average of two million.
The brainchild of former EastEnders' writer Tony Jordan, the drama brought together characters from books such as Oliver Twist, Bleak House and Great Expectations.
A BBC spokeswoman said the cancellation had been a "difficult" decision.
"We are incredibly proud of Dickensian and would like to thank all those involved in such an ambitious series.
"We sometimes have to make difficult decisions to make room for new shows and it won't be returning for a second series."
The show starred Stephen Rea as Inspector Bucket from Bleak House trying to solve the murder of Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol, played by Peter Firth.
The cast also included Tuppence Middleton as a young Miss Havisham from Great Expectations and Caroline Quentin as Mrs Bumble from Oliver Twist.
But viewers complained about the lack of a fixed time slot in the schedules for the programme.
Before the series aired Jordan said he had already scripted 60 episodes and was banking on the BBC commissioning more, pointing out that Dickens created in excess of 2,000 characters and he had only used 30.
Jordan, managing director of Red Planet Pictures who made the drama, admitted he was "disappointed" that they would not be making a second series.
"We are hugely proud of what we achieved in the first series of Dickensian and would like to thank everyone who helped us create a truly special and unique drama."
O'Toole joined Worcester in 2015 having previously worked at London Irish.
Former cricketer Mackay, who begins his new job on Monday, was chief executive of rugby league club London Broncos.
"We welcome Gus to his new role at a very exciting time for the commercial side of the business," chairman Bill Bolsover told Warriors' website.
Mackay, 49, played three one-day international matches for his native Zimbabwe in 2001, and later moved into the administrative side while also working as a banker.
In 2006, he was appointed chief executive of Sussex CCC and two years later moved to Surrey CCC as managing director of cricket, before switching sports to join the Broncos between 2011 and 2014.
As managing director, Mackay will have responsibility for the business operations of the club, with responsibility for the rugby department remaining with director of rugby Gary Gold.
The departing O'Toole said: "This new structure makes sense for the business and I would like to thank our partners, staff and fans for their support during my tenure as chief executive."
There were cheers in court when the two-year jail term of Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30, was suspended.
Earlier the trio spoke defiantly at the appeal hearing, saying their protest song was political and not anti-Church.
In August they were jailed for staging an anti-Kremlin protest in Moscow's main cathedral, Christ the Saviour.
Samutsevich, Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, were found guilty of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred".
Their imprisonment sparked widespread international condemnation.
By Leonid RagozinBBC News
Sitting inside a glass cage, surrounded by bailiffs in black uniforms, the three Pussy Riot members looked depressed and exhausted, but even more defiant than before.
All three said they would not "repent" as the Church demanded they should do.
Ekaterina Samutsevich stressed there was no split in the group, and reiterated her opposition to Vladimir Putin. Relatives and lawyers also denied any split.
Once freed, Samutsevich had to break through the media scrum and literally run away from journalists. She jumped into a red Honda, which whisked her away at a high speed.
Her father stayed behind and told the press that she would keep fighting for the other women's release - even though her actions will be limited by bail conditions.
The judges on Wednesday accepted the argument of Samutsevich's lawyer - that Samutsevich had been thrown out of the cathedral by guards before she could remove her guitar from its case for the band's "punk prayer".
The other band members cheered and hugged Samutsevich when the decision was read out.
One of the defence lawyers, Mark Feigin, said "we're glad that Yekaterina Samutsevich has been freed, but we think the other two girls should also be released". The appeal process would continue, he said.
Samutsevich's father reacted with the words: "What happiness! But what a shame about the other girls - they don't deserve such a harsh punishment".
Earlier Alyokhina told the hearing: "We're all innocent... the verdict should be overturned. The Russian justice system looks discredited".
Alyokhina said that "of course we didn't want to offend worshippers" when they protested at the cathedral's altar.
She said the trio's apologies had been ignored, but repentance was out of the question.
"For us to repent - that's unacceptable, it's a kind of blackmail," she said, adding that repentance was a personal matter, unconnected with a legal case.
She added she had "lost hope in this trial".
The three women sat in a glass cage in court, facing a three-judge panel.
The band performed an obscenity-laced song at the Moscow cathedral on 21 February.
Tolokonnikova told the court "it's as clear as daylight that this was a political act, not anti-religious... I ask you to quash this sentence".
Alyokhina warned that if they were sent to a penal colony for two years "we won't stay silent - even in Mordovia, or Siberia - however uncomfortable that is for you".
Their "punk prayer" - which implored the Virgin Mary to "throw out" President Vladimir Putin and sought, the band said, to highlight the Russian Orthodox Church leader's support for the president - enraged the Church.
But while the Church hierarchy said the women's action "cannot be left unpunished", it added that any penitence shown should be taken into consideration.
Those comments followed a suggestion from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev that a suspended sentence would have been sufficient punishment.
But Mr Putin last week defended the sentence, speaking on Russian NTV television.
"It's right that they were arrested, it's right that the court took that decision, because you can't undermine the foundations of morality, our moral values, destroy the country. What would we be left with then?" Mr Putin said.
Opinion polls in Russia suggest a majority backing the sentence against Pussy Riot, the BBC's Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow. One poll found 43% of respondents considered the sentence too lenient.
On Wednesday the judge rejected two motions from defence lawyers to call in experts for their opinions and more witnesses from the cathedral. The defendants' plea to hold a fresh psychological and linguistic evaluation of their protest song was also rejected.
Comments in a BBCRussian forum on Wednesday were mostly unsympathetic towards the band.
"I am really surprised at some Europeans' attitude towards the Pussy Riot case. The girls desecrated the cathedral that was originally built in memory of those who lost their lives liberating Europe from Napoleon. They should have protested elsewhere," said Vlad, in Moscow.
"Considering moral damage inflicted on my country, I think, it would be fairer to recall their citizenship and send them out of the country," said MosGen, in St Petersburg.
Another reader, Yuri in Barnaul, quoted Tolokonnikova's warning in court "that Putin's third term will bring instability and lead to a civil war" and commented: "She was right and that truth scared the judge".
Steven McIvor, 32, was one of two knife-wielding thieves who robbed the Letterbox Bistro in Balerno Main Street.
They stole £2,000 and 5,300 euros on 26 February 2016.
McIvor, from Edinburgh, had denied taking part in the robbery during a trial at the High Court in the city but was found guilty.
His co-accused Eddie Moffat, 27, was acquitted of the robbery charge on a not proven verdict, and admonished for a dangerous driving offence he admitted after spending almost 11 months in prison on remand. He was banned from driving for three years.
The owner of the post office/bistro business Steven Carlyle, 55, said he had been talking to his son when he became aware of two men entering the premises.
He told the court: "Then the language got worse and they demanded money. They were demanding all the money from the till and the euros."
The thieves had scarves over their mouths and each was armed with a knife.
Mr Carlyle said he pressed an alarm that was supposedly inaudible but turned out to be audible. He said: "That's when they started getting very agitated."
One of the intruders became very aggressive and a knife was thrust through a gap in a Perspex screen.
Mr Carlyle said: "They were swearing all the time, telling us to 'hurry up, get the money, get the cash'."
The trial judge, Lord Kinclaven, deferred sentence on unemployed McIvor, who has previous convictions for theft, for the preparation of a background report. He was remanded in custody.
Pat Dodson said on Monday there was no point introducing constitutional recognition for Indigenous people unless those changes were made.
Politicians met with 40 Indigenous representatives in Sydney to discuss potential changes to the constitution.
Indigenous Australians are not mentioned in the Australia's founding document.
However, two so-called "race provisions" allow the states to disqualify people on the basis of their race from voting, and allow laws to be made based upon a person's race.
Mr Dodson - a highly respected Indigenous leader from Western Australia who has won the Sydney Peace Prize - said constitutional recognition for Indigenous Australians would not be worth pursuing if a non-discrimination clause wasn't added to the constitution.
"These are complex moral and ethical issues for some people but I don't think we should be discriminating against anyone in this nation, and certainly not against Aboriginal people," he told reporters.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has pledged to hold a referendum in 2017 that could see Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people recognised as the first Australians.
Opinion polls show there is widespread community support for the change.
However, there is still disagreement over the wording of any amendments.
Dozens of people protested outside Monday's meeting and said the participants did not have the authority to represent all Indigenous communities.
Mr Dodson said protections against discrimination needed to be strengthened.
"Two hundred years of discrimination is about as much as we can bear, quite frankly," he said.
Other leaders have expressed concern that any changes would be purely symbolic.
Mr Abbott and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten hosted Monday's meeting.
"Today was not a day to rule particular things in or out," Mr Abbott said later.
He said the next step would be to hold a series of community conferences later this year where the public could have their say on proposed changes to the constitution.
An Ipsos Fairfax poll released on Monday showed 85% of Australians were in favour of a clause being added to the constitution to recognise Australia's first people, up from 77% in 2013.
The Joint Select Committee on Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples has recommended these changes to the constitution:
Repealing the two so-called "race provisions":
Gary Doherty was named as the new chief executive of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board on Monday.
The board was put in special measures by the Welsh government in June following a critical report on a mental health ward in Denbighshire.
Mr Doherty has run the Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust since 2013.
Speaking on Tuesday, the new health chief said he wanted to see a three to five year recovery plan put in place, and the board taken out of special measures.
Mr Doherty said it can be devastating when "trust isn't well placed and people are let down".
"It's really, really important we get that trust back and I think we can do that," he told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme.
"But equally, I'm under no illusions. It's a big, tough job."
Betsi Cadwaladr has been under the highest level of Welsh government intervention for six months since the investigation into "institutional abuse" at the Tawel Fan mental health ward at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan.
It led to the former chief executive Prof Trevor Purt standing aside, and an interim chief executive was appointed by the Welsh health minister.
The Welsh government has already said it expects the health board to remain in special measures for up to two years.
Mr Doherty said he was acutely aware of the political significance of his role and that of the health board.
"It's a really important political issue - and it should be," he said.
"I fully understand how much this means to people, how hot it is politically.
"If we do a good job and I do a good job and we work together with people, then these political concerns and these very personal concerns and individual concerns that people have, we can respond to them and it can be a successful dialogue."

Helicopters are being used to tackle the blaze, nicknamed the Sand Fire, which broke out near Santa Clarita, 40 miles (65km) from Los Angeles.
The fire has destroyed more than a dozen homes in three days.
Nearly 3,000 firefighters are working to contain the blaze.
Officials said only 10% of the fire was under control.
"This is the fifth year of an ongoing drought, so we have very extreme fire behaviour," Los Angeles County Fire Department Chief Daryl Osby told reporters. "These are not normal times."
Fire crews have also been hampered by the forested, mountainous terrain.
Over the weekend, a body was found in a burned-out car but it is not clear if the death is fire-related.

Mae gan Extreme Sports Company sianel chwaraeon arlein sy'n cyrraedd 68 o wledydd ac yn trefnu digwyddiadau.
Yn ogystal â'r trac rasio beiciau modur, mae'r argymhellion newydd yn cynnwys traciau beicio mynydd, parc BMX, cyngherddau a safle sgïo dan do.
Roedd gweinidogion Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gofyn i benaethiaid i wneud mwy o waith ar y prosiect cyn y byddai modd cefnogi'r cynllun.
Cafodd Extreme ei lansio yn 1995, a bellach maent yn dweud bod eu darllediadau yn cyrraedd 400 miliwn o bobl y mis.
Yn ôl Alistair Gosling, cadeirydd a phrif weithredwr Extreme: "Gyda thwf a'r diddordeb yr ydym yn ei weld yn ein sector, mae'n wych cyhoeddi y lleoliad hwn, sy'n cyfuno casgliad o chwaraeon, adloniant a phrofiadau hamdden unigryw, nas gwelwyd o'r blaen."
Roedd Cylchffordd Cymru yn addo creu hyd at 6,000 o swyddi ym Mlaenau Gwent drwy adeiladu trac gyda sawl gwesty ac unedau busnes.
Mae'r cynllun hwn yn addo mwy o ddigwyddiadau chwaraeon a hamdden, gan gynnwys cyfleusterau trampolin, parc sglefrio, ardal rhithwirionedd a llwyfan ar gyfer cerddoriaeth fyw.
Dywedodd Martin Whitaker, Prif Weithredwr Cylchffordd Cymru: "Y bwriad yw darparu llawer mwy na chyfleusterau rasio yn unig; fe fydd yn safle ar gyfer hamdden a busnes 365 diwrnod y flwyddyn."
Mae'r partneriaid yn honni y gallai'r datblygiad ddenu 750,000 y flwyddyn gan roi hwb gwerth £50m i economi Cymru yn flynyddol.
Ond, mae'r rhai sydd y tu ôl i Gylchffordd Cymru yn dal angen cyrraedd cytundeb gyda Llywodraeth Cymru am gefnogaeth ariannol i'r prosiect, unwaith y bydd y trac wedi ei adeiladu.
Mae Cylchffordd Cymru yn dweud eu bod yn cyfarfod swyddogion yn wythnosol ers misoedd.
Roedd yna bryderon na fyddai'r prosiect yn llwyddo i ddenu cymaint o ymwelwyr a'r hyn oedd wedi ei amcangyfrif.
MotoGP oedd yr unig ddigwyddiad oedd wedi ei gadarnhau, gyda'r hawliau yn parhau tan 2024.
Fe allai'r datblygiad yma olygu mwy o ymwelwyr i'r safle, gan o bosib agor y digwyddiad i gynulleidfa arlein ar draws y byd.
Y banciwr Kleinwort Benson sy'n cefnogi Extreme, ac ymunodd gyda phrosiect Cylchffordd Cymru ddiwedd y llynedd fel ymgynghorydd.
Ni fydd Extreme yn cyfrannu unrhyw arian tuag at y gwaith o adeiladu'r trac, ond yn gweithio ar farchnata gan gynnwys ar blatfformau cymdeithasol er mwyn denu mwy o ymwelwyr.
At least 20 people died and scores were injured in the attack on the Erawan Shrine, a Hindu site which is also popular with Thai Buddhists.
Thai police say the main suspect is a young man seen entering the shrine with a backpack then leaving without it.
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has said the incident was the worst ever attack on Thailand.
In a separate attack on Tuesday, an explosive device was thrown at a pier in Bangkok. No-one was hurt, but the authorities have not ruled out a link between the incidents.
National police spokesperson Prawut Thawornsiri said on Wednesday that police were also looking for accomplices of the main suspect.
"These types of attacks are not usually planned by one person alone," he said, according to Reuters news agency.
The shrine reopened at about 08:00 local time (01:00 GMT), with a handful of people arriving to place flowers or light incense in front of the slightly damaged statue of the Hindu god Brahma.
A BBC reporter at the scene says there appears to be low security in place, with the public free to walk in unchecked. She says the last human remains were only cleared from the site earlier on Wednesday.
The shrine was reopened 34 hours after the blast. The aim of the authorities is to say "business as usual" so the seat of the blast has been repaired, the fresh concrete still wet in the morning sun as worshippers entered a short distance away.
One man who had come from Malaysia told the BBC he was there, firstly, to remember the people who died but also to give thanks for a decision of fate which saved him.
He and his wife were going to the shrine at the hour of the blast but decided at the last moment to postpone their visit. There are many such fateful choices which people made in this city - for good and ill.
The opening of the shrine shows that you can concrete over material damage. You can't, though, concrete over human pain.
Most of the victims of Monday's attack were Thai, but nationals from China, Hong Kong, the UK, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore were among the foreigners killed.
No-one has yet claimed responsibility.
Maj Gen Weerachoon Sukhontapatipak, a spokesman in the military government, earlier told the BBC that the authorities were "quite close" to identifying the suspect caught on CCTV at the shrine.
The man is seen carefully and deliberately removing his backpack inside the shrine - at the spot the bomb went off - then getting up without it and immediately leaving.
Maj Gen Sukhontapatipak said no motive was being ruled out, but that the bomber did not appear to be Thai and the character of the bombing was "quite different" from previous bombings by Islamist separatists in southern Thailand.
Speaking in a television address on Tuesday evening, Mr Prayuth said the attack showed that Thailand "still has a person or a group of people with hostility to the nation operating actively".
"They may be doing it for a political motive or to undermine the economy or tourism or for other reasons," he said, according to the Bangkok Post.
He also warned against speculation on possible perpetrators, saying it could cause panic or mislead the investigation.
He has been replaced in the Welsh squad by Cardiff Blues' uncapped 23-year-old open-side Ellis Jenkins.
Wales play the first of three Tests against the world champion All Blacks on 11 June.
"It's hard for Dan because his tour is already over," said Wales head coach Warren Gatland.
Lydiate, who was captaining Wales in the absence of Sam Warburton, was taken off the field during the first half of the 27-13 defeat at Twickenham.
The 28-year-old also filled in for Warburton at open-side flanker, with Ross Moriarty taking Lydiate's place at six.
Jenkins' call-up means there is now natural open-side cover for his regional team-mate Warburton in the Wales squad.
The two have played together for the Blues this season, with Jenkins often wearing seven and Warburton switching to the blind-side.
The other back-rowers in the Wales squad to face New Zealand are Taulupe Faletau, Ross Moriarty, James King and Josh Turnbull.
Trott, 33, was unbeaten on 176 at stumps on the third day against South Africa A in Paarl.

James Vince and Adil Rashid both hit 78 as the Lions recovered well from being reduced to 67-3.
The four-day match is the first unofficial Test of England Lions' tour.
Trott's last three-figure score for England was an unbeaten 109 against New Zealand in a one-day international in June 2013.

A High Court ruling in December over the wording of documents sent out by the bank meant £261m would have been paid in refunded interest.
But the decision has now been reversed by the Court of Appeal.
The case related to Northern Rock's "Together Mortgage", and questioned the wording in past loan documents.
The Together Mortgage allowed unsecured loans of up to £30,000 alongside mortgages, to be repaid at the same rate as the mortgage.
In 2012, Northern Rock Asset Management had to pay out £270m in refunded interest after the bank failed to make mandatory disclosures in customer letters from 2008.
Newcastle-based Northern Rock was nationalised in 2008 following its near collapse at the onset of the global credit crunch.
Two years later it was split into a "good" and a "bad' bank, with the Northern Rock name transferred to the good bank.
In late 2011 Virgin Money bought the good part of the business, and discontinued the Northern Rock name.

"We don't know what the impact will be. As far as we're concerned right now, we're keeping our heads down and continuing to do what we do. We'll deal with whatever situation arises," he added.
The newly created jobs will bring the total number of full time permanent UK employees at Amazon to more than 15,500 by the end of this year.
Mr Gurr said: "We are creating thousands of new jobs to continue to deliver the experience our customers know and love during the festive season and beyond.
"We are hiring for all types of roles from software engineers, computer programmers and corporate managers in our R&D centres and head office, to operations managers, engineers, service technicians, HR roles and order fulfilment roles in our fulfilment centres."
Amazon also released new research on shopping habits and the tens of thousands of independent small businesses selling their goods through Amazon Marketplace, a platform for third party sellers.
Nearly half of Amazon's global sales now come via Amazon Marketplace.
It found that 74,000 UK jobs are now being supported by third party sellers on Amazon, and that the number of sellers with turnover of more than a million pounds increased by 20% in the past year.
Acting leader Harriet Harman faced a backlash at a meeting of Labour MPs on Monday for urging the party to abstain on the Welfare Reform Bill, warning against "blanket opposition" to reform.
It came amid a row over her stance on future limits on child tax credits.
Labour's position will be discussed by the shadow cabinet on Tuesday.
Ms Harman has stressed that any future decisions would be for the next leader.
The party has said it will oppose the main Finance Bill, which enacts Budget measures including faster reductions to the amount of tax credits workers receive, sickness benefits and student grants.
However, there is disagreement over other measures to be dealt with in the separate Welfare Bill - such as restricting tax credits in future to two children.
BBC political correspondent Iain Watson said Ms Harman warned at the meeting that Labour cannot afford to campaign against the public when it comes to welfare cuts.
The interim leader said on Sunday that the party should not oppose the changes to future tax credits being proposed by the government.
But leadership hopefuls Yvette Cooper, Andy Burnham and Jeremy Corbyn criticised the policy change during a hustings debate on Monday.
The only other leadership contender, Liz Kendall, said Ms Harman was "absolutely right".
Speaking in the leadership hustings hosted by the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme, Ms Kendall said: "Many parents who aren't on tax credits have to make difficult decisions about how many children they can afford."
If Labour persists with "the same arguments we have done over the last five years" its election defeat will be repeated, she added.
But Mr Burnham said: "You don't allow a change that is going to take money off people in work who are trying to do the right thing."
Ms Cooper said reducing tax credits would affect people's incentives to work. "I think we can be credible and also say we are going to oppose the things that the Tories are doing which are going to hit work and hit people's incentives to work," she said.
Mr Corbyn said he would oppose George Osborne's Budget, which he called "brutal and anti-young and anti the poorest in Britain".
Ahead of the meeting of Labour MPs on Monday night, Ms Harman defended her position and sought to defuse the row over the scale of her party's support for welfare cuts.
She said the party could not "oppose everything" but stressed future decisions would be for the next leader.
"We've got the Budget coming forward next week and a number of bills that the government is bringing forward, whilst I'm interim leader I have to decide how we're going to respond to those.
"But there will be further decisions in the Autumn and that will be for the new leadership," she said.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said the issue may come to a head next week after the SNP announced it would seek to force a Commons vote opposing the cuts to child tax credits.
The row over child tax credits was sparked on Sunday when Ms Harman said Labour's big defeats in the last two elections meant it could not adopt "blanket opposition".
She said the party must listen to the views of those who had put off having "bigger families" for financial reasons, as well as those getting state support.
The acting leader said Labour would not oppose the government's plan to reduce the overall household benefit cap - to £23,000 a year in London and £20,000 outside - and it would also back the third child limit on future tax credits claims.
She said Labour would oppose the reduction in the tax credit threshold to £3,850 a year and the faster withdrawal of it, saying it would leave families an average of £1,000 a year worse off.
But she said the temptation to oppose everything in the Budget was not a luxury open to Labour since, at this moment, it was seen as being a party of opposition - not a government in waiting.
Labour MP Frank Field, who chairs the work and pensions committee, backed Ms Harman, telling the BBC's Daily Politics the stance taken by Labour leadership candidates was "dismal".
He drew a distinction between the two children change, which will only apply to new claimants, and reforms that would apply to those already in the system - an area where he said the Tories were "vulnerable".
But Labour MP Diane Abbott she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I don't believe the Labour Party can support welfare measures that will force tens of thousands of children into poverty."
Patriots' Day will be based on the first-hand account of Ed Davis, whom Wahlberg may play in the drama.
The Boston Police commissioner played a key role in the hunt for the brothers held responsible for the attack.
"There is nothing more compelling than a real story populated by real heroes," said CBS Films president Terry Press.
He said the film will "give audiences a very personal look at what occurred during the days when the eyes of the world were on the city of Boston and how a group of contemporary patriots faced this crisis".
Three people, including an eight-year-old boy, were killed after two pressure cooker bombs packed with nails, ball bearings and other shrapnel detonated in April 2013.
A police officer was fatally shot days after the attack, in which more than 260 people were injured.
One of the bombers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died during a shootout with police. His younger brother Dzhokhar was captured a day later and is currently on trial.
According to CBS Films, Patriots' Day will be "an intense thriller, spanning the five-day search up to the infamous siege... in Watertown" near Boston.
20th Century Fox is working on a rival project, entitled Boston Strong, about the deadliest terror attack on US soil since 9/11.
Wahlberg appeared last year in Transformers: Age of Extinction and The Gambler and will be seen this year in the sequel to his 2012 comedy Ted.
Gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 5% in 2014, compared to a revised 5.58% the previous year.
South-east Asia's largest economy is a major exporter of commodities such as palm oil, rubber, coal and tin but saw revenues fall owing to falling prices.
It has also seen foreign investment cool because of political uncertainty.
Gareth Leather, an Asia economist at Capital Economics, called the growth figures were "disappointing".
"The country's new president, Joko Widodo, despite a promising first few months in office, faces a tough challenge to reinvigorate the economy," he wrote in a report.
"While we don't think growth will slow any further from here, we think a rebound is unlikely in the short-term, with weak commodity prices and high interest rates set to weigh on economic activity."
Mr Widodo took office in October, pledging to cut bureaucracy, improve infrastructure and address the country's fiscal problems to attract more investment.
The country has struggled to contain high inflation, which eased to 6.96% in January from 8.36% in December.
It also has a sizeable current-account deficit - which occurs when a country imports more than it exports - that stood at 3.1% of gross domestic product in the third quarter.
Indonesia's stock market fell by 0.8% following the GDP release.
The city has held the number one spot for the past three years because of the high cost of rent, imported goods and security in the oil-rich nation.
However, the rest of the cost of living rankings saw significant shifts due to exchange rate fluctuations.
Asian cities now account for half of the top 10 costliest destinations.
Hong Kong rose to second place and Singapore remained in fourth because of their expensive property and rental markets.
Shanghai, Beijing and Seoul also made the top 10.
Chinese cities now account for nine of the top 30 most expensive cities because of the growing strength of the renminbi.
Tokyo fell out of the top ten for the first time after the yen weakened against the US dollar because of Japan's stimulus program.
It used to top the rankings, but is now in 11th place, down from seventh last year.
N'Djamena, the largest city in Chad, also used to rank consistently highly, but dropped from second to 10th place.
The least expensive cities are Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan, Windhoek in Namibia and Karachi in Pakistan, Mercer said.
The rest were located mostly in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The most expensive European cities are found in Switzerland, with Zurich, Geneva and Bern occupying third, fifth and ninth place in the rankings.
This comes after the Swiss franc jumped following an unexpected move by the country's central bank to remove a ceiling on the currency's value.
But many western European countries saw their cost of living fall due to a slide in the value of the euro.
London remained in 12th spot in the rankings, while Copenhagen slipped nine places to number 24.
The biggest fall from the top 10 was Moscow, which dropped 41 places to 50th because of the depreciation of the rouble following US economic sanctions.
"European currencies have weakened against the US dollar, which pushed most western European cities down in the ranking," said Nathalie Constantin-Métral, principal at Mercer.
"Additionally, other factors like the eurozone's economy, falling interest rates, and increasing unemployment have impacted these cities".
Across the Atlantic, New York remains the most expensive city in America, followed by Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington.
Mercer has been conducting the survey for more than two decades using New York and the US dollar as its base city and currency.
The consultancy compares the cost of a basket of over 200 goods and services, including food, transport and accommodation.
The results are then used by governments and multinational companies when determining salary packages for employees being sent overseas.
Several companies, including the Economist Intelligence Unit and ECA International, issue cost of living surveys with differing results.
The horse-powered Dundee Corporation tram dates from the late 19th Century and is believed to be one of the first built for the city in 1887.
It has now been removed and taken to Dundee Transport Museum to be restored and added to the collection.
The museum already has the last surviving Aberdeen tram.
The Dundee tram was removed from service to be replaced by electric vehicles shortly after the turn of the century.
Almost all the old trams were burned, but the number 24, which ran a route through Dundee city centre in to the west end, survived.
It was transported to Perth where it was placed in the garden of a man called Jock Ness.
Jimmy McDonnell, chairman of Dundee Museum of Transport, said: "It's one of the first built for Dundee and is almost certainly the last of its type to survive - and it's one of the oldest surviving in Scotland.
"It has now lain in that garden for a long period of time - we can account for at least 60 years, but we believe it has been there for up to 100.
"It has been used as a summer house, but it still has its original interior which is astounding."
"When we found it in situ it was just about landlocked - the houses and an orchard have grown up around it."
Mr McDonnell and a team of volunteers, including heavy moving experts, worked to lift the tram and transport it to Dundee.
He added: "It weighed two tons and we had to lay a plastic road and get it on to a low loader with special lifting plant.
"We have people coming up from the British National Tram Museum to take a look at it because they are very interested in it.
"It will take pride of place in our museum when it is restored."
For Japan, economic woes are what has triggered snap elections just two years into Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's term.
Mr Abe is seeking a renewed mandate for his policies that aim to revitalise the world's third largest economy, which has been in the doldrums since a banking crash in the early 1990s.
A year ago this time, I was in Japan assessing the first anniversary of Abe's attempts to revive the economy, dubbed Abenomics.
At the time, the first of the three arrows - metaphorically speaking - which represent the major prongs of his policies had been "fired" and seemed to be working. Two years and a snap election later, Abenomics looks like it's missing the target.
I've returned to Japan to examine what's gone wrong.
The hardest of the three arrows was always the third - the so-called structural reforms that target the way that the economy is constituted and run.
For instance, can Japan raise productivity when its population - and labour force - are shrinking? Can firms be enticed to invest in a country where consumption demand is low since two decades of stagnation has taken a toll and people are concerned about taking on debt? These reforms, of course, take time and the economy minister Akira Amari had told me that it could take a decade for Abenomics to work.
But, that's only partly why Abenomics is now faltering.
The second arrow, which is fiscal policy, isn't quite hitting the mark either.
A decision to raise the consumption tax has squeezed spending and pushed the economy in the wrong direction. It helped with price rises as 15 years of deflation looked to be turning around. But, after the first increase in the sales tax in 17 years in April from 5% to 8%, the economy tipped back into recession as the next six months saw the economy contract.
In its immediate aftermath, GDP contracted at an annualised pace of 7.3% in the April-June quarter, the worst contraction since the economy plummeted 15% in the 2009 global financial crisis.
This happened in 1997 too. When Japan raised the sales tax then, the economy went into recession. One of the reasons is that consumers move up their purchases, but it also reveals an underlying weakness of demand.
Unsurprisingly, the second leg of the decision that would have raised the sales tax further from 8% to 10% in October 2015 is now delayed by 18 months.
It was always the case that any attempt to address Japan's staggering debt - which at over 230% of GDP is the highest in the world - would be an economic drag. But, the scale of it is a reminder of the fragility of the revival of the Japanese economy.
I mentioned that prices looked to be rising. Well, even that's turning in the wrong direction.
Inflation has slowed to 1%, which has led to the Bank of Japan to surprise markets by unleashing a new bout of cheap cash injections equal to over $700bn annually to meet their 2% inflation target. I wrote before about how it's the equivalent of creating a new Switzerland each year.
Aggressive expansion of the money supply is the first arrow that aims to end deflation, which looked as if it was working but also seems uncertain given the scale of the challenge.
Stock markets have hit multi-year highs but the real economy hasn't yet benefitted sufficiently. Higher market valuations haven't led firms to pass along wage increases, which are fundamental to sustaining price rises. Firms, for their part, are looking for more output per worker in order to justify higher pay. Average real wages are lower than in 2007, according to the International Labour Organisation.
So, the first arrow is still going strong, though its effectiveness can't be sustained without changes in the behaviour of firms and workers. The second arrow was always less straightforward, and the third arrow of structural reforms is mired in over 240 initiatives that will take time to implement.
All of this means that Mr Abe has decided to call early elections, just two years into his term.
With a weak opposition, he is gambling that his party, the LDP, and his coalition, will win a new mandate and support for his policies. By delaying the second rise of the consumption tax by 18 months, he hopes to gain some time to allow the most important arrows to work.
But, it's likely to take well beyond 2017 before the positive impact of any structural reforms can be felt.
Mr Abe is Japan's seventh prime minister in eight years. Time is seemingly a luxury for Japan's leaders, yet it's the very thing that they need to turn around an economy that's been struggling for two decades.
Separated by 126 miles, the distance between the two rivals when measuring domestic success is wafer thin.
Outside Glasgow they are the two most successful sides in the competition; Hearts winners eight times, Aberdeen seven.
With both riding high in the league, the weekend meeting brings together two potential winners of the trophy, but one will see their hopes end before January is out.
BBC Scotland takes a look at six previous occasions when Hearts and Aberdeen have gone head-to-head in the Scottish Cup.
It was the year Aberdeen played three Scottish Cup ties at Tynecastle.
Sir Alex Ferguson was leading his side towards retaining their league title, while the Cup had not moved from the Pittodrie trophy room for three years, with the Dons chasing a record fourth season in a row as holders.
Alex MacDonald was putting a good side together in the capital, one that would go so close to winning the league and Cup double the following season.

The quarter-final clash in Gorgie promised to be a cracker and just under 24,000 saw Sandy Clark give the hosts a second half lead, but Eric Black headed in an equaliser to take the game to a replay.
Four days later and another 24,500 made their way to Pittodrie where Billy Stark's goal was enough to put Aberdeen into the last four, which meant a return to Tynecastle for the semi-final.
After a replay, Jim McLean's Dundee United finally put an end to Aberdeen's Cup heroics.
Hearts: Smith, Kidd, Whittaker, Jardine, R.Macdonald, Berry, Mackay, Watson (A.Macdonald), Clark, Robertson, Black.
Aberdeen: Leighton, McKimmie, McQueen, (Bell), Cooper (Porteous), McLeish, Miller, Black, Simpson, McDougall, Angus, Stark.
(Replay)
Aberdeen: Leighton, Mitchell (Bell), McKimmie, Stark, McLeish, Miller, Black, Simpson, Porteous (Cowan), Angus, Hewitt.
Hearts: Smith, Kidd, Whittaker, Jardine, R. Macdonald, Levein, Mackay, Berry (Watson), Clark, Robertson (McNaughton), Black.
It could have been Hearts' greatest season.
Just three years after being in Division One, the Tynecastle side were hurtling towards a league and Cup double. After John Colquhoun's goal saw off Dundee United in the semi-final, the stage was set for the mother of all parties.
All that was needed was for Edinburgh rivals Hibernian to join them at Hampden, but the signs were ominous straight away when Aberdeen despatched them 3-0 in the other semi-final, having already done the same earlier in that season's League Cup final as they chased a double of their own.
Of course, what should have been Hearts' finest moment turned into one of their worst. By the time 40,000 Hearts fans descended on Hampden, it was in defiance more than celebration after Celtic had beaten them to the championship a week earlier.
There was no sympathy from Aberdeen, who were ahead inside five minutes through John Hewitt. And after he had doubled his tally Billy Stark put the icing on the cake.
Aberdeen: Leighton, McKimmie, McLeish, W.Miller, McQueen, Bett, Cooper, McMaster (J.Miller), Weir, Hewitt (Stark), McDougall.
Hearts: Smith, Kidd, Jardine, Levein, Whittaker, Mackay, Berry, Black, Colquhoun, Clark, Robertson.
The sides could barely be separated in the league, both eventually finishing on 44 points each - Aberdeen's slightly superior goal difference edging them ahead of Hearts into second place.
It was a different story in the cups. Aberdeen had already beaten Celtic and Rangers on their way to lifting the League Cup and were once more eyeing a cup double.
However, they had not yet got the better of Hearts in three league meetings that season and 22,500 packed Pittodrie for the tie of the round.
The Dons made light work of the visitors, with Jim Bett, Hans Guilhaus, Brian Irvine and Charlie Nicholas all hitting the net while John Colquhoun's strike turned out to be a mere consolation for the shellshocked visitors.
Alex Smith and Jocky Scott went on to lead Aberdeen to the cup double, despatching Dundee United in similarly ruthless fashion in the semi-final at Tynecastle before a shoot-out win over Celtic in the Hampden final.
Aberdeen: Mimms, McKimmie, Conor, Grant, McLeish, Irvine, Nicholas, Bett, Mason, Van der Ark, Guilhaus.
Hearts: Smith, Kidd, McKinlay, Levein, McCreery, McPherson, Colquhoun, Berry, Robertson, Crabbe (Foster), Bannon (Mackay).
By now, Hearts' trophy drought had stretched to 34 years. However, much like 1986 and 1990, Aberdeen met Hearts in the Scottish Cup having already claimed the League Cup and were eyeing more silverware.
After both sides avoided Rangers and Celtic in the draw, they quietly felt their chances of a Hampden final had been boosted.
In one of the most dramatic endings in semi-final history, John Robertson broke the deadlock with just 10 minutes left.
Duncan Shearer thought he had taken the game to a replay with a late equaliser, but the Dons' celebrations were short-lived when Allan Johnston found a winner for Hearts in the dying seconds.
Jim Jefferies could not lead his side to the trophy that season with Brian Laudrup inspiring Rangers to a 5-1 win in the final, however two years later and they would get their revenge on the Ibrox side and finally see maroon ribbons on the trophy again.
Aberdeen: Watt, McKimmie, Woodthorpe, Glass, Inglis, Smith, Miller (Grant), Windass, Bernard, Dodds, Robertson (Shearer).
Hearts: Rousset, Locke, Ritchie, Mackay, McManus, Bruno, Johnston, Colquhoun, Lawrence (McPherson), Fulton (Robertson), Pointon.
Hearts' title challenge was faltering by February, however they would go on to split Celtic and Rangers and finish second in the league under the tutelage of four different managers during the campaign.
For the visit of Aberdeen, Graham Rix was the man in the dugout and the Dons dominated the first 45 minutes but somehow found themselves 3-0 down through goals from Michal Pospisil and Calum Elliot and a Stephen Pressley penalty after Zander Diamond had been sent off.
Jimmy Calderwood's men could not recover and Hearts went on to beat Hibernian 4-0 in the semi-final before lifting the trophy with a penalty shoot-out win over Gretna.
Hearts: Gordon, Neilson, Pressley, Webster, Beslija (Wallace), Cesnauskis, Brellier (McAllister), Johnson, Goncalves, Elliot (Makela), Pospisil.
Aberdeen: Langfield, Clark, McNaughton, Severin, Anderson, Diamond, Foster (Stewart), Nicholson, Smith (Snoyl), Crawford, Griffin (MacAulay).
Saturday will be six years to the day since Hearts and Aberdeen last met in the Cup.
The fortunes for both were vastly different to this season, with Hearts sacking manager Csaba Laszlo less than three weeks after this game, while Aberdeen were struggling to make waves under Mark McGhee.
The apathy from both sets of fans was clear with just 8,226 making it along to Pittodrie to see Darren Mackie and Lee Miller grab the crucial goals to put Aberdeen into the next round.
Aberdeen's Cup run would not last long, being brought to a halt in the next round by Raith Rovers.
Aberdeen: Langfield, Ross, Ifil, Mulgrew, Pawlett, Young, Kerr, Marshall (Maguire), Fyvie, Mackie, Miller.
Hearts: Kello, Cinikas, Zaliukas, Bouzid, Visconte, Suso (Templeton), Black, Robinson (Obua), Jonsson, Smith (Nade), Stewart.

Alastair Cook, the former captain, led the way. In what was a first day of 'proper' Test cricket, he played a proper Test innings.
I was actually quite surprised by the way England reacted to that 340-run hammering at Trent Bridge. They were bang to rights but, rather than holding their hands up, they tried to counter the criticism.
The message they should have taken was a reminder that in Test cricket you cannot always play freely and expect it to work all the time. You will get bitten.
In reality, the men most likely to show how it is supposed to be done were Cook and Joe Root, with Cook the one rising to the challenge of a magnificent South Africa attack in tricky conditions.
Having said that, all of England's batsmen fought hard, with Cook's 82 not out taking them to 171-4 on a rain-hit day.
Early on, the opener played a fluent drive that made me think, 'he's in good touch today'. It's always a positive sign when Cook is getting forward and driving straight.
He is one of England's most prolific run-scorers, so he knows how to play, but there was also an element of giving the rest an example to follow after the feeble batting we saw in Nottingham.
Cook batted deep in his crease, possibly to counter the bounce, and left the ball well, often when he knew it was going over the top of the stumps.
Still, when South Africa got it right, they bowled brilliantly, probing as the ball both swung and moved off the pitch.
For that reason, Cook can look back on what he has achieved today with immense pride. It wasn't pretty, but it was hugely satisfying.
While Cook batted throughout the day, his opening partner, Keaton Jennings, lasted only nine deliveries before falling for what is his third duck in five Tests.
Indeed, after making a century on his debut and following that with 54 in his second match, Jennings has made scores of 8, 33, 0, 3 and 0.

Like at Trent Bridge, when he got bowled through the gate by Vernon Philander, his technique let him down.
Now, I do not know if the habit he has of planting the front foot and pushing at the ball is the way he plays all the time, or just something he is doing because he is out of form.
But I can say with certainty that, unless he changes, he will be found out at this level.
If he is not offering a huge gap between bat and pad for the ball to travel through, then he is susceptible to giving an edge, like he did on the first morning here.
In some ways, I feel sorry for him, because he is being thrust out to open the batting after only being given a diet of Division Two bowling in the County Championship - and even then he hasn't made many runs for Durham.
Remember, Haseeb Hameed, England's other success story from the winter, was left out because of his domestic form.
But that doesn't stop me fearing for Jennings, who now faces a big second innings and fourth Test at Old Trafford next week.
He is likely to be given every chance to succeed - coach Trevor Bayliss has stated in the past that he would rather give a player one game too many than one game too few. Indeed, it's my understanding that England would have retained Gary Ballance for this Test had he not broken a finger.
Ballance's replacement at number three, Tom Westley, showed signs of promise in his 25.
He reminded me of John Crawley, formerly of England, Lancashire and Hampshire, with the way he whipped the ball through mid-wicket using his bottom hand.
The right-hander stood tall, followed Cook's example to leave well and showed good judgement.
Westley may have to straighten his technique - he was slightly turned around giving the edge that led to his dismissal - but, for a first knock in difficult circumstance, it was OK.

His fellow debutant Dawid Malan got a much more brutal introduction to Test cricket, probably answering any questions that he may have had about just how hard the game is at this level.
He took 15 balls to get off the mark, which can't have happened very often when he has been playing for Middlesex, and then got bowled by a wonderful yorker from Kagiso Rabada.
It was a fantastic piece of bowling, with pace and swing leaving Malan on the turf.
If the batsman can take any crumb of comfort, it is that ball would have got pretty much everyone out.
It was deliveries like that, and those produced by Philander and Morne Morkel, which give further credit to the innings played by Cook.
He dug deep and enjoyed the challenge. That is what Test cricket is all about.

So who will benefit from this policy, how did it come about and are schools ready?
All state-funded schools in England, including academies and free schools, will have a legal duty to offer free meals for all children in Reception to Year 2, under the Universal Infant Free School Meals policy.
Until now around 367,000 children in this age group whose parents are on benefits or earn less than £16,190 have been eligible for free school meals.
Under the new policy an extra 1.55m children will be entitled to a free hot meal every lunchtime, bringing the eligible total to more than 1.9m youngsters
The scheme is expected to save parents about £400 per year per child.
Schools are legally required to provide meals that comply with the government's School Food Standards which are intended to ensure children get the nutrition they need across the school day.
The guidelines to schools say the government expects that pupils will routinely be offered a hot meal option.
"Where schools are not in a position to offer hot options from September 2014, they should be working towards doing so as soon as possible."
The government says schools should offer free school meals to all infant pupils but will not be expected to make take-up mandatory.
Schools will still have the freedom to set their own policies on packed lunches, says the guidance.
The government has budgeted for an 87% uptake of the lunches - but Schools Minister David Laws has told the BBC this might be lower to begin with as parents of more fussy eaters decide whether their children will eat them. Some may decide to continue to provide a packed lunch every day.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg launched the plan at last autumn's Liberal Democrat conference.
Free school meals for all pupils up to age 11 were recommended in a review of school food for the government by the founders of the Leon restaurant chain.
They said packed lunches were nearly always less nutritious than cooked meals, adding that free lunches for all children would raise academic standards.
The Department for Education has promised the meals will be fully funded by central government. It says this year it will pay a flat rate of £2.30 for each meal taken by newly eligible pupils.
The government is also spending £150m to improve kitchens and dining facilities.
In addition small schools will get £22.5m to extend or improve kitchen facilities.
In May the then education secretary Michael Gove and schools minister David Laws denied reports of a rift within the coalition over the policy.
In a joint article for The Times newspaper they said the plans had "cross-party support".
Earlier reports suggested senior officials at the Department for Education feared the money for upgrading kitchens was insufficient.
Leaked emails suggested officials believed school kitchen improvements would cost £50m more than the £150m allocated, with a knock-on effect on wider school budgets.
In March a former adviser to the education secretary called the idea "dumb" and a "bad gimmick". Dominic Cummings said it had not been properly thought through or costed and would cause chaos.
Schools minister David Laws countered that a serious amount of work, including pilots, had gone into the policy.
In July a survey by BBC Radio 5's Drive programme asked all 152 councils in England about their budgets for implementing the policy.
Of the 99 that replied, 34 said they did not have enough money for the scheme despite being told it was fully government-funded.
Some local authorities said they were having to raid their maintenance budgets while others were passing costs on to the schools themselves.
Essex County Council has reported a £3m shortfall while 190 schools in Leeds are being asked to help find half the cost of the shortfall in the city.
One Leeds head said he had been planning to spend the money on tablet computers for pupils but would not now be able to do so.
In April a BBC Daily Politics investigation found more than 2,700 schools in England would not be ready to serve the free hot meals.
Freedom of Information figures obtained by the BBC suggested more than 1,700 schools had no kitchen at all. So their hot meals will have to be delivered by external caterers or cooked at nearby schools and transported.
Some may offer cold food such as sandwiches to begin with - though the guidelines say that schools should be working towards providing hot meals.
Some schools said they lacked big enough dining rooms so lunchtimes would have to be staggered.
Others said they used their halls for PE at lunchtime and the new meals policy would mean an end to these activities.
Mr Clegg says that although some English primary schools may have "some difficulties" in providing the meals he insists that the scheme is "well-funded" and "well-researched".
He has said pilots in Durham and Newham have shown the policy not only saves families money but has a dramatic educational impact, particularly on poorer children who are not receiving free school meals.
Mr Clegg also believes free school meals for all infant schoolchildren have a "very significant social impact because it gets children sharing lunch together during the middle of the school day".
Money is being provided for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to emulate the English scheme, but as education is a devolved issue, it is up to people running schools in each country to decide whether to spend the money on free lunches.
The Scottish government has decided to provide free school meals for all children in Primary One to Three from January 2015, following trials in five local authority areas.
In Wales all primary schoolchildren are entitled to a free school breakfast.
A review of school food for the Department for Education recommended all primary pupils should get free school meals.
Co-author Henry Dimbleby has said he hopes Mr Clegg's announcement will "be the first step on the road to free school meals for everyone".
The National Union of Teachers also wants the policy to be extended to all primary pupils.
General secretary Christine Blower says children "do not stop being hungry at seven years of age".
The order, worth $14bn (??8.9bn), confirmed by Delta on Thursday, is a victory for the European plane maker over its US rival's Dreamliner 787.
It includes 25 Airbus A350-900 and 25 advanced Airbus A330-900neo aircraft.
Rolls Royce will provide Trent engines for both types of aircraft and long term servicing in a deal worth $5bn .
The order is welcome news to Rolls Royce which has seen its share price fall by around a quarter since the beginning of the year following cut backs in military spending.
The company issued a profit warning in October and earlier this month announced 2,600 job losses as development work on two of its latest engines, the Trent 1000 and XWB, came to an end.
Airbus is reported to have won the contract after promising to deliver its latest A330neo in 2019, ahead of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner.
The Dreamliner has been beset with problems, suffering several delays before its 2011 introduction and then being grounded due to battery fires last year.
However, by October this year Boeing said more than 1,000 Dreamliners had been ordered by 60 customers around the world.
The Delta deal is significant for Airbus and Rolls Royce because they hope other American legacy carriers will follow its example as they upgrade their ageing fuel-hungry fleets.
John Leahy, Airbus' Chief Operating Officer said: "When the most successful U.S. airline today ... says 'yes we want 50 more of your wide body planes', you can't debate the fact that it is a massive endorsement of your product line"
The A350s will be delivered in the second quarter of 2017 and will fly routes between the U.S. and Asia. They are expected to give a 20% improvement in operating cost per seat over Delta's existing aircraft.
The A330neos will fly medium-haul trans-Atlantic routes as well as some routes between the American west coast and Asia.
Last month it launched an inquiry into Tory general election spending in Thanet South following allegations broadcast by Channel 4 News.
It is now also looking at the reporting of hotel bills at the Newark, Rochester and Strood and Clacton by-elections.
The Conservative Party said all spending had been "correctly recorded in accordance with the law".
Strict limits apply to the amount parties and individual candidates can spend fighting elections.
Channel 4 News alleged the Conservative Party's candidate spending returns for the three by-elections were incomplete.
The commission does not have the power to investigate candidate spending, which is the responsibility of the police.
But it can investigate whether the hotel bills were reported in the overall returns for the 2014 European Parliament election and May's general election.
If the Conservative Party did include the hotel bills in its national spending returns it would be up to the police to investigate whether the party should have instead included the bills in the candidate spending returns.
The Commission can sanction a breach of the rules with a fine of up to £20,000.
The Conservatives said: "We will of course cooperate with the Electoral Commission," adding: "All spending has been correctly recorded in accordance with the law."
The library was recognised as being one of the finest examples of art nouveau in the world.
Broadcaster Muriel Gray, who is the art school's chairwoman, said: "This is an enormous blow and we are understandably devastated."
However, she revealed that the art school's archives were safe.
Ms Gray, a former student at the school, confirmed that most of the building was still standing.
"The most amazing, almost miraculous news is that the majority of the building is still intact," she said.
"Due to one of the most astonishingly intelligent and professional pieces of strategy by the fire services, they succeeded in protecting the vast majority of the building, apparently by forming a human wall of firefighters up the west end of the main staircase and containing the fire."
She added: "Also, after ensuring no lives were in peril, they displayed an impressive understanding of the precious nature of the building, and due to their careful and meticulous handling of each developing situation the damage is considerably less than we dreaded.
"We have run out of words with which to thank them, but the school has most certainly gained a new gallery of heroes."
Ms Gray, who had burst into tears when she saw the building on fire, also confirmed that many students had lost some, or all, of their work, but other work had been preserved.
She said curators and academic staff were hoping to be allowed into the building in the next few days to assess what could be salvaged.
"The joy that our archives are safe combines with the delight in seeing most of our beloved building bruised and battered, but most certainly not destroyed," she added.
Speaking about the loss of the library, Ms Gray said: "Mackintosh was not famous for working in precious materials. It was his vision that was precious and we are confident that we can recreate what was lost as faithfully as possible.
"Our main concern right now is the welfare of the students and the impending graduation and everyone is working hard together to achieve the best outcome for all."
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said more than 90% of the structure was viable and they had protected up to 70% of the contents.
The fire service has yet to confirm the cause of the blaze, which some students have suggested could have started in the basement when a spark from a projector caught a piece of foam.
The UK government has said it would make a significant contribution towards the costs of restoring the building.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said it would contribute "in the millions, if necessary" to restore a "priceless gem".
Mr Alexander, who was visiting the site on Saturday afternoon, said: "We've seen the appalling damage to the Glasgow School of Art. It's a hugely important building not just for Glasgow and Scotland but for the whole of the United Kingdom.
"The UK government will be willing to make a significant financial contribution towards the cost of rebuilding.
"Obviously at the moment we don't know the precise extent of the damage or what the costs will be, so I can't put a figure on it, but the chancellor and I have spoken this morning and we both think it is appropriate."
He added: "This is going to be a costly business but it's a very important landmark for the whole of the UK so we stand ready to provide an appropriate share of the funds that will be necessary to bring this hugely important building back to life."
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop, who also visited the site, said , Ms Hyslop said: "It was truly heartbreaking to see the Mackintosh Building in flames.
"We are all thankful that no-one has been hurt and for the heroic efforts of firefighters to safely evacuate the site and save the building and as much as possible of the work it contains.
"I know from speaking to Professor Tom Inns [director] that GSA is determined that the school will recover, and rebuild and renew the Mackintosh building and what it stands for.
"He can count on support from friends of the GSA in Scotland and around the world, including the Scottish government.
"We have already invested heavily in the School in recent years, contributing around £55m to the new Reid building and to conservation of the Mackintosh building.
"We know the restoration will run into millions of pounds, and we are committed to strongly supporting the funding effort required."
She added that the Scottish Cabinet would discuss the issue on Tuesday and would then make an announcement on the restoration plans."
An ecumenical church service was held at Renfield St Stephens in Bath Street for those affected by the fire.
Fire broke out at the listed building at about 12:30 on Friday.
Eyewitnesses said the fire appeared to have started when a projector exploded in the basement of the building on Renfrew Street in the city centre.
Everyone who had been in the packed building was said to have escaped safely.
Final year students had been preparing for their end-of-year degree show in the building when the blaze broke out.
The main fire was extinguished by about 17:00.
The Mackintosh building, completed in 1909, is "unique" in that it is a working art school as well as a work of art.
It has an A list rating, meaning it has been classified by Historic Scotland for its age and rarity.
From the facade to the fixtures and fittings every detail shows the craft of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Scotland's most-lauded designer.
In a statement issued at 21:30, Assistant Chief Officer Dave Boyle said crews had been working "absolutely flat out" in an effort to save "this treasured building and many of the items it housed".
He said: "While the priority from the outset was to save life we have also been working closely with Glasgow School of Art staff to ensure firefighters conducted an effective salvage operation.
"We are of course very conscious the Mackintosh is a world-renowned building that is a key feature of this great city, and that the artworks it stores are not only valuable but also cherished."
ACO Boyle added: "We are acutely aware this period is the culmination of years of endeavour for students and that their irreplaceable work is inside the Mackintosh.
"Work to save everything that can be saved is ongoing and we will continue to work closely with GSA staff and students throughout this operation."
Fire crews arrived on the scene within four minutes of the alarm being raised.
Search and rescue teams led a number of people to safety. There were no reports of any casualties.
Police cordoned off Renfrew Street, and smoke was also drifting across the M8. Large crowds of students and onlookers gathered near the scene, with several people in tears as they watched the events unfold.
Austin Yuill, who works as a chef at the art school, told the BBC: "I'm told it started in the basement and it's worked its way all the way up through the five floors.
"As far as I know it started from a spark which has gone on to foam, expanding foam."
Charles Rennie Mackintosh is lauded as Scotland's most influential architect and designer, with the art school building which bears his name considered by many to be his greatest masterpiece.
Mackintosh was a 28-year-old junior draughtsman at a Glasgow architecture firm when he drew up the designs for the building, which features distinctive heavy sandstone walls and large windows.
The dramatic art nouveau design took about 12 years to be completed, opening in 1909, but it signalled the birth of a new style in 20th Century European architecture.
The president of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, Iain Connelly, said the value of the building "goes well beyond Glasgow or even Scotland".
In recent years, Glasgow School of Art has produced many of the UK's leading contemporary artists such as Douglas Gordon and David Shrigley and three recent Turner Prize winners: Simon Starling in 2005, Richard Wright in 2009 and Martin Boyce in 2011.
Other former students include actors Robbie Coltrane and Peter Capaldi and artist Peter Howson.
Production fell 1.1% in September from the previous month, the country's statistics agency Destatis said.
The fall was a surprise, with some economists expecting industrial output to rise.
A slowdown in some emerging markets had weighed production down, Germany's economy ministry said.
"After a good development in the first half, German industry is currently experiencing a light headwind from the world economy, in particular due to a slowdown in some large emerging markets," the ministry said.
In a three-month comparison, factories produced 0.3% fewer goods in the July-to-September period, with an increase in construction not fully offsetting a fall in manufacturing output.
Ulrike Kastens, an economist at Sal Oppenheim bank, said the data suggested that the economy could not rely on industry to support growth as it heads into the final quarter.
"In view of the problems in emerging markets, it's hard for us to imagine where a quick rebound for German industry should come from," she said.
Fish and eels were killed after slurry from a farm leaked into the Afon Bach in Tremeirchion on Friday.
Denbighshire Council has put up signs advising people not to swim or paddle in the sea, or let children on the beach after bathing water was affected.
The council has also warned dogs should not go in the sea during the temporary closure.
The authority said it would continue to monitor the water and once it had returned to an "acceptable standard" access to beaches would return to normal.
Natural Resources Wales said it was working to minimise the impact of the leak.
NRW said while the farmer had acted to fix the leak from the slurry lagoon, it would be monitoring the pollution levels over the next few days.
Nick Thomas, from NRW said: "Once we're happy that the risk of further pollution has passed, our next steps will be to consider enforcement action against those responsible if appropriate.
"We're taking the issue of agricultural pollution very seriously at the highest level and continue to work with the farming industry and its unions to deliver a step-change in reducing pollution incidents."
And for almost 40 schoolboys and staff at a Northern Ireland school, it was a day they would never forget.
But 29 May 1985 remains vivid in their minds three decades on for all the wrong reasons.
On the 30th anniversary of the Heysel stadium disaster, two teachers who led a Belfast Boys' Model school trip to the match recall the horror that unfolded before them and how close they came to being caught up in the catastrophe.
Thirty-nine people died, including Patrick Radcliffe who was originally from Bangor in County Down, and 600 others were injured when a wall collapsed on supporters of Italian club Juventus as they tried to escape a surge by Liverpool fans.
The young footballers of Belfast Boys' Model were playing in a tournament in Amsterdam in the Netherlands on the week of the European Cup final, being held in the Belgian capital Brussels.
Many of the boys were Liverpool supporters, and when the agent they were travelling with got 38 tickets for the game the excitement began to build, as teacher Dennis Russell remembers.
"We couldn't believe our luck, it was as simple as that," he says.
"Everybody was jealous, a lot of other kids wanted to go once they heard we were going to the European Cup final.
"Little did we know that 30 years on we'd still be thinking about it."
The group were in sector Z of the stadium. It was here that the concrete retaining wall collapsed as supporters were climbing over to escape the crush.
Andy McMorran, another teacher on the trip, recalls the group's narrow escape as the horrific events unfolded.
"We were very, very lucky," he says.
"One of the other teachers with us said he thought something was going to happen and he was right.
"He got us out a gate at the bottom [of sector Z] to go to another section.
"We had a view of it. The wall [the supporters] were being crushed on all of a sudden collapsed. I likened it to sand running out of a sand-dune - it was horrific.
"That's the one thing that stuck with me - I was watching bodies. It was colours from a distance, but it was actually bodies."
The game was played despite the disaster in order to prevent further disorder, Juventus winning 1-0.
But the danger was not over yet. Tension, anger and hatred between the supporters of both sides had been festering during the game and police feared more trouble would erupt after the final whistle.
"The Italian fans had got to know what had happened, and the concept was that they were going to ambush any Liverpool supporters that they could find," Mr Russell says.
"Terrifying's not the word. I don't know what kicks in, but I suppose it's called self-preservation."
As the group reached their coach, the driver told them to pull the curtains and get on the floor.
The driver refused to stop until they reached the border.
The teachers contacted their loved ones and passed on the pupils' telephone numbers for them to call and reassure their parents that the boys were safe.
It was the only the next day when the group was back in Amsterdam that they realised how lucky they had been to escape unhurt.
As they read newspaper coverage of the disaster, one stark image from the previous night hit home.
"When we were getting in [to the stadium] at the very start there was a block of Italians that weren't letting anybody past as we came up the steps.
"We got to a point where there was a guy who was beating a drum, he actually let us through.
"Unfortunately, one of the photographs of one of the bodies was the guy with the drum. That hit the kids - they realised he had let us through."
For Dennis Russell, the memory of Heysel still remains crystal-clear.
"I saw an article two weeks ago and thought: 'Thirty years ago... good Lord.'
"The boys were brilliant. It was a matter of looking after everybody, and they were tremendous on that night.
"But some of those children I now meet on a regular basis still talk about the fear."
The University of Stirling swimmer earned two silver medals in the relays in an impressive Olympic debut.
He told BBC Scotland: "British Swimming talk about it (the Olympics) being in the past and that's right.
"What's behind us is behind us. I need to set out and try and prove myself again for the next four-year cycle."
The British Championships in Sheffield act as qualifiers for the World Championships in Budapest in July, but should Scott make the British team he insists he does not feel under any pressure to follow up on his Rio accomplishments.
"Obviously it would be great to carry on that success but nothing is easy in sport," he said.
"If people want to try and put pressure on me, they can. I'm not really too bothered. Myself and my coach have got a game plan of what we want to do and what we want to achieve."
That plan starts in Sheffield from 18-23 April, an event which also serves as the trials for next year's Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast.
"At the British Champs I've got quite a challenging programme," said Scott.
"I'm going to be swimming five individual events (100m and 200m butterfly, 100m and 200m freestyle and 200m individual medley).
"But it will then hopefully prepare me for the likes of mixed relays, on top of semi-finals, etc, later in my career, so it'll be challenging but I'm looking forward to it.
"It's really hard to qualify for the British team. They're one of the best teams in the world at swimming, but the idea is to hopefully make it to the Worlds in the 100m and 200m freestyle and I might then have other events too."
Scott's Stirling University team-mate Ross Murdoch is also gearing up for the British trials and will go to Sheffield in confident mood, given his recent form.
"I'm feeling good. I was pretty happy with my races at the weekend at the Edinburgh International competition," said the 23-year-old.
"It was a lifetime best for me in-season in the 200m breaststroke, so I'm really excited to get going."
Murdoch insists he has "definitely recovered" from his Rio disappointment, where he failed to qualify for the final of the 100m breaststroke.
"It's one of those things, you wake up every morning and you've got to realise how much you want it, to truly want it," he says of his desire for success.
"It's enough to say it, but actually wanting it? I can safely say that I wake up every morning wanting it these days."
Like Scott, Murdoch acknowledges the importance of next month's Sheffield event.
"It secures you two years' worth of teams to be on, so it's very important, as a British athlete in terms of making the World Championships, but also as a Scottish athlete making these Commonwealth Games.
"I definitely want to see myself making the Gold Coast as well as Budapest."
Katy McAllister, 31, was found not guilty at the High Court in Edinburgh of causing the death of Louise McGowan at Voodoo Tattoo in Dundee in May 2015.
Prosecutors had alleged she had administered the drugs to Mrs McGowan.
However, judge Graham Buchanan QC said they had failed to provide evidence of culpable homicide. McAllister was convicted of other drug offences.
She admitted being involved in supplying or offering to supply Diazepam and Temazepam to other individuals.
She also pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing magic mushrooms at her home on 11 May 2015 and possessing a controlled drug called Midazolam.
McAllister had originally faced charges of "recklessly and unlawfully" supplying "potentially lethal" drugs, including Tramadol, Diazepam and Temazepam, to Louise McGowan.
The court heard that Mrs McGowan had felt "anxious" about getting her body inked at Voodoo Tattoo parlour in Dundee's Perth Road.
She died a day after taking the drugs after suffering a cardiac arrest.
But defence advocate Mark Stewart QC made legal submissions to the court after prosecutors had concluded their case that they had led insufficient evidence against his client.
Judge Buchanan agreed and acquitted McAllister of the culpable homicide charge on Wednesday.
The acquittal prompted crown lawyers to seek a 48-hour adjournment to consider whether or not they wanted to appeal that decision.
On Friday, prosecutors said they would not appeal.
Adjourning sentence on McAllister for the drugs offences, judge Buchanan described the evidence against her as "somewhat concerning".
He added: "I think there are certain troubling aspects in relation to what has been going on in the accused's life over the last few years."
McAllister will be sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow next month. | Mae cwmni Cylchffordd Cymru sy'n ceisio adeiladu trac rasio yng Nglyn Ebwy wedi datgelu parter busnes newydd.

In response, China says it's "severely concerned" about the South East Asian nations' statement.
South East Asia says China's actions have "eroded trust and confidence and may undermine peace, security and stability".
China retorts that what it's doing is "entirely legal and shouldn't be questioned".
Are the gloves coming off in the South China Sea disputes?
China has reacted angrily to a formal statement issued on Monday by the 10 countries of the Association of South East Asian Nations, criticising its huge island-building programme in the Spratly Islands.
China is using dredging ships and construction teams to turn at least six coral reefs into large bases with harbours.
One will have a 2,900-metre (1.8-mile) long runway.
There is widening concern that China will use these bases as springboards to assert control over the whole of the South China Sea.
China says it is just protecting its territorial rights and its fishing fleet.
It seems bizarre that some of the smallest islands on the planet now lie at the centre of one the world's biggest territorial disputes.
If they were just a couple of metres lower, they wouldn't even qualify as islands but because they stick up above the surface of the South China Sea, countries can claim them and, more importantly, the territory and the resources in the waters around them.
Whoever controls the islands will have the strongest claim to the 1.4 million sq miles of the South China Sea and all the fish in it and oil under it.
That's why, for the six countries bordering the sea (seven if you count Taiwan separately), these 250 or so rocks, reefs and islands, with a total area of just six sq miles, are worth all the money and effort they spend on them.
But it's actually about much more than even that.
To understand why American and Chinese ships and planes are confronting each other in the South China Sea it is important to realise that there are actually two different disputes taking place there.
One is about which country owns the features that dot its waters.
The other, more critical dispute is about the future of the international system that has run the world since the end of World War Two.
What international rules should countries follow and who should make them?
It's the overlap between these two disputes - between which country rightfully occupies which islet and which countries set the world's rules - that makes the South China Sea disputes so dangerous.
China has convinced itself that it is the rightful owner of almost the entire sea.
As a result, South East Asian countries with rival claims - Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines - are trying to bolster their position by involving the other big powers - primarily the US, but also Japan and India - on their side.
The US doesn't particularly care which country controls which island, but it's getting drawn into the disputes because of its wider interests.
The authorities in Beijing see things the other way around.
They think the US, anxious to remain the world's leading power, is corralling the countries of East and South East Asia to contain a rising China.
But what concerns the US, and many other countries, is not China's rise, as such, but Beijing's efforts to redefine international law to suit its own interests in the sea.
As a result, the US and its allies and friends are working together to "hold the line". This is where the danger lies.
As China tries to extend its control over the water of the sea (as opposed to the islands), it is challenging both the other countries in the region and the international system.
Under current international law - laid down in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea - a country can only own a piece of sea if it owns the land next to it.
A country that owns an island also "owns" 12 nautical miles of seabed around the island and has the rights to the resources (but not the territory) up to 200 nautical miles around.
However, the Chinese government and its state-owned enterprises (particularly oil companies and fishing enterprises) are trying to assert ownership of the South China Sea itself, plus its seabed and its resources, many hundreds of miles away from the Chinese coast.
This is a challenge to the other countries around the sea with claims of their own, to the US whose role as a global military and commercial power depends upon unimpeded access through the world's seas and to every other country that believes in the current rules of international law.
They say (broadly) that the sea more than 12 nautical miles away from a coast doesn't belong to anyone and is therefore free for anyone to use in any way they see fit. (It's more complicated than that but that's the basic principle.)
Japan needs one oil or gas tanker to cross the South China Sea every six hours to keep its economy functioning; South Korea is similarly dependent on energy imports.
Both countries have other concerns about the way that China is rising too.
Japan has its own dispute with China over the Senkaku/Daioyu islands, sees common cause with Vietnam and the Philippines and has begun supplying both with coastguard ships and other equipment and training to help them defend their maritime claims.
South Korea is less vocal, but also concerned and also supplying weaponry to the Philippines and Indonesia.
India does not depend upon the South China Sea so much, but it fears the consequences if China comes to dominate Asia.
It has two disputes with China over border areas in the Himalayan Mountains.
It is also nervous about China's growing relations with countries around the Indian Ocean and has been developing security ties with Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan and Australia (among others) in response.
The Chinese authorities say they have been the historic "owners" of the sea "since ancient times".
The Chinese government's interest in the sea actually only began in the early 20th Century.
For all but the briefest periods of recorded history (one exception is a 30-year period from 1400-1430, during which time the so-called eunuch admirals, including Zheng He, voyaged as far as East Africa) the Chinese authorities were barely able to control their own coastline, let alone islands hundreds of miles away.
Zheng He: The Eunuch Admiral
Zheng He was born in the poor province of Yunnan in 1372 into a Muslim family from Central Asia who had fought for the Mongols.
Captured by the armies of the Ming dynasty, he was castrated at the age of 10.
He was sent to serve the emperor's son, and so distinguished himself in battle that he rose to the rank of admiral.
His armada, bigger than the combined fleets of Europe, featured giant treasure ships 400ft (122m) long and 160ft (50m) wide.
He sailed throughout South East Asia and the Indian Ocean, and on to the Persian Gulf and Africa, creating new navigational maps, and spreading Chinese culture.
He opened up trade routes that are still flourishing today, and gained strategic control over countries that are now once again looking to China as undisputed regional leader.
This version of history is not the one taught in Chinese schools.
This strongly held, but historically unjustified sense of ownership is what is putting China on collision course with its neighbours and the US.
It is the reason why China behaves with such high-handedness when sending oil rigs to drill in disputed waters, for example.
To protect themselves against China's encroachments, other countries are forming new security relationships.
These overlapping interests have the potential to turn a local dispute into a regional or even a global one.
At a time of so many international crises, the South China Sea disputes appear relatively small - but they could get big very quickly.
Changing this behaviour will require the countries of the region to come to a better understanding of the shared history of the South China Sea.
That will be hard but it will be easier than the alternative of escalating conflict and the increasing risk of superpower confrontation.

After the country joined the European Community in 1973, it was transformed from a largely agricultural society into a modern, high-technology economy.
However, the economy collapsed following the 2008 global financial crisis. With the help of a bailout Ireland has been recovering once more.
Its strong literary and musical traditions, as well as its long history of emigration, have given Ireland an international cultural presence disproportionate to its size.
Six Protestant-dominated counties of Northern Ireland - afraid of a majority Catholic united Ireland - in 1921 opted to stay in the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland subsequently saw decades of violent conflict between those campaigning for a united Ireland, and those wishing to stay in the United Kingdom.

President: Michael D Higgins
Michael D Higgins (pictured left), a veteran left-wing politician, poet and human rights activist was elected president in 2011.
He is a former Galway university lecturer and published poet who has dedicated his four-decade political career to championing Irish culture and left-wing causes worldwide. He is an Irish speaker.
The president wields little power beyond the ability to refer potentially unconstitutional legislation to the Supreme Court, but has an important symbolic role in representing Ireland at the national and international level.
Prime Minister (Taoiseach): Enda Kenny
Enda Kenny (pictured right) came to power after winning early elections held in 2011, in the middle of Ireland's worst economic crisis in recent memory.
His centre-right Fine Gael party formed a coalition with the second-placed social-democratic Labour Party, replacing a government led by the centre-right Fianna Fail party.
Fianna Fail, which has dominated Irish politics for much of the post-Second World War period, had suffered a catastrophic defeat after many voters blamed it for the way it handled the crisis.
Mr Kenny and the allied Labour Party suffered losses in the February 2016 elections, depriving the coalition of its majority.
Following more than two months of political deadlock, Mr Kenny finally succeeded in forming a minority government, after Fine Gael and Fianna Fail hammered out an unprecedented political ceasefire. The latter, which will sit on the opposition benches, has agreed to support the government for a period of two years.
The Irish parliament, the Dail, voted Mr Kenny in again as Taoiseach at the beginning of May, making him the first Fine Gael Taoiseach ever to be re-elected.

Some key dates in Ireland's history:
1801 - Kingdom of Ireland annexed to Great Britain under the Act of Union.
1840s - Great potato famine: Ireland's staple crop fails, starving a million people to death and forcing many more to flee abroad.
1916 - Nationalists stage Easter Rising, seizing the General Post Office in Dublin and proclaiming an independent Irish republic. The rising is crushed by the British who execute its leaders. Irish public is outraged.
1919 - Led by Eamonn De Valera, the nationalist movement Sinn Fein sets up a Dublin assembly, which again proclaims Irish independence. A guerrilla campaign by the Irish Republican Army, or IRA, against British forces begins with heavy casualties on both sides.
1921 - Anglo-Irish Treaty establishes the Free State, an independent dominion of the British crown with full internal self-government rights, partitioned from Northern Ireland. Dissatisfaction with the treaty prompts the year-long Irish Civil War.
1949 - Independence. Republic of Ireland and leaves British Commonwealth.
1973 - Ireland joins the European Economic Community.
Early 1980s - Ireland faces severe economic problems, with rising debt and unemployment.
Mid-1990s - mid-2000s - Rapid economic growth earns Ireland reputation of "the Celtic Tiger".
2008 - Global financial crisis hits Ireland hard. In 2010 it agrees a bailout with the EU and IMF.
Shanay Walker died at a house in Nottingham, in July 2014 while in the care of her aunt Kay-Ann Morris, 24.
Morris was cleared of murder but both she and Juanila Smikle, 53, were convicted of "about the worst case of child" cruelty.
Morris, of Beckhampton Road, and Smikle, of Easegill Court, were jailed for eight and four years respectively.
Sentencing the pair following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court, The Hon Mr Justice Macduff said they manipulated Shanay to lie for them, fooling professionals into thinking her injuries were accidental.
Addressing Morris, he said: "Your ill treatment of that little girl was frequent and wicked and lasted over the two years when she was in your care.
"You hit her, taunted her and you abused her in unimaginable ways."
He added he would be "loyal" to the verdict of not guilty of murder but said it was clear jurors could not be sure if Morris had caused the injury that resulted in her death.
"Maybe you were not responsible for the fatal head injury. But whatever its cause, I am wholly satisfied that you beat Shanay over and over, shortly before she died," he said.
A post-mortem report showed Shanay had more than 50 injuries to her body.
The trial heard she came into Morris's care after her mother Leanne Walker suffered post-natal depression after another pregnancy.
Morris, a paternal aunt, chose not to give evidence at the trial but had previously told police Shanay had fallen down stairs.
Mr Macduff said: "I consider this to be just about the worst case of child cruelty it is possible to imagine... This little girl wanted your love, your protection, and your support.
"Instead she was subjected to all of this in what was a most wicked betrayal of trust."
Morris was cleared of a cruelty charge towards another child.
Smikle was found guilty of cruelty to three other children, including forcing them to sit in water and ice for so long they could barely stand when allowed out.
She was cleared of another charge of cruelty towards a fifth child.
Speaking after the sentencing, Shanay's mother Leanne Walker said the family will forever miss her "cuddles, singing and dancing".
"My beautiful daughter Shanay was entrusted to the care of family members who I believed would love and look after her," Ms Walker said.
"Instead she was the victim of ongoing abuse and tragedy and her life was cut short before she could become the lovely woman I know she would have grown up into.
"Smikle and Morris have shown little remorse for their actions. It hurts and sickens me to know of the pain Shanay would have been in."
Karne Hesketh crossed in the final minute to win an incredible World Cup Pool B encounter in Brighton.
South Africa led 12-10 after Francois Louw and Bismark du Plessis tries.
Lood de Jager and Adriaan Strauss also scored for the Springboks, but Ayumu Goromaru contributed 24 points, including a try, before Hesketh's dramatic clincher.
Japan had not won a World Cup game since 1991, while South Africa were world champions in both 1995 and 2007.
Japan started the game brightly, played with quick ball and took the game to South Africa, never looking overawed by their powerful opponents.
Captain Michael Leitch went over for Japan's first try as they went 10-7 up after 29 minutes and, although Du Plessis quickly responded, the Brave Blossoms stayed in touch throughout the second half.
Coached by former Australia boss Eddie Jones, who was also part of the Springboks staff during their 2007 triumph, Japan were committed in the tackle and always looking to attack, with scrum-half Fumiaki Tanaka dictating the tempo of their game and full-back Goromaru putting in a near-flawless kicking display.
The 29-year-old added to his points tally when he finished off a well-worked move and, after he converted his own try, the score was 29-29 with just over 10 minutes remaining.
Replacement Handre Pollard kicked South Africa back in front eight minutes from the end after Japan strayed offside but the underdogs were not to be denied.
They laid siege to the Springboks' line as time ticked beyond 80 minutes, twice opting not to kick penalties that would have earned them a draw. Their adventure was rewarded as they span the ball across the field for Hesketh's winning try on the left flank.
Japan fed off the energy of the crowd at the Brighton Community Stadium and, after their lap of honour, the whole squad bowed in front of the main stand to recognise the support within the ground.
The Springboks had named their most experienced Test side in history, with 851 caps in the starting XV, but they were below par in a number of areas.
Their kicking game was found wanting in the first half, their pack was unconvincing despite a weight advantage and indiscipline cost them in the second half.
Several kickable penalties were given away after the break to allow Goromaru to keep Japan in touch, while Coenraad Oosthuizen's late yellow card proved costly as Japan were able to stretch the play for Hesketh to touch down in the corner.
Japan coach Eddie Jones: "It's quite incredible. We thought we could compete but to beat South Africa is a fantastic achievement for the team and it's a great day for Japanese rugby.
"Japan can only play one way, we've got a little team, so we have to move the ball around and cause problems.
"Today is just the start. The target now is to make the quarter-finals and we have got Scotland in four days' time so we cannot rest on our laurels.
"If you are a child in Japan you will watch this and you will want to play rugby for Japan [who are hosting the tournament in 2019] in the next World Cup."
South Africa coach Heyneke Meyer: "I have to apologise to the nation. It was just not good enough. It was unacceptable and I take full responsibility.
"Every game is going to be tough but there are no excuses. We scored four tries but our discipline was not good enough and we can't give so many penalties away.
"I said before, this will be the toughest World Cup ever and I think there will be more shocks. I still believe we can win the World Cup, but I have to press some hard buttons to try to fix it."
South Africa enjoyed more possession and territory but, in the limited time Japan entered their half with the ball, the Boks infringed the breakdown and were punished with the penalties that ultimately lost them the game.
South Africa: Kirchner; Habana, Kriel, de Villiers, Mvovo; Lambie, Pienaar; Mtawarira, B du Plessis, J du Plessis, De Jager, Matfield, Louw, du Toit, Burger.

A survey of more than 1,000 schools by the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) shows the number in deficit has doubled since 2015.
And 71% of the heads polled were only able to balance their budgets by making cuts or dipping into reserves, said NAHT general secretary Russell Hobby.
The government said it had protected the core schools budget in real terms.
The NAHT's Breaking Point survey for 2016-17 shows:
The greatest cost pressures on schools, according to heads, are:
According to the union, almost 80% of schools are providing support for children with mental health issues from general school budgets, "stepping in where cuts in health and social care funding have failed to meet the growing demand for support".
Mr Hobby said 98% of schools were losing funding "at a time when costs are rising and pupil numbers are growing".
"The government must take urgent action and commit to funding schools sufficiently in the next Budget. It is time to stop viewing education spending as a cost and to start seeing it as an investment in England's future, and in our children's."
Liam Collins head of Uplands Community College in Wadhurst, East Sussex, said budget pressures amounted to "a cut of 10 teachers, fewer clubs, no pastoral support, a narrowed curriculum, no counselling for students struggling with mental health issues, crumbling buildings, no IT upgrades, no new textbooks and no school planners.
"Eventually this will impact on student outcomes."
Labour said the NAHT's survey showed ministers "continue to hide their heads in the sand" on school funding.
Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner said: "Headteachers should not be faced with a decision of whether to cut school staff or invest in new equipment.
"The Tories have no plan to deal with falling budgets, chronic teacher shortages and not enough good school places - this is no way to run a schools system."
A Department for Education spokesman said that school funding "will be over £40bn in 2016-17 - its highest level on record".
The spokesman said the government's fairer funding proposals to end what ministers have termed "a postcode lottery" in school budgets would help.
"These proposals will not only see more than half of England's schools receive a cash boost in 2018-19 but will also give head teachers certainty over their future budgets, helping them make long-term plans and secure further efficiencies," said the spokesman.
"We recognise that schools are facing cost pressures, which is why we will continue to provide advice and support to help them use their funding in cost-effective ways, including improving the way they buy goods and services, so they get the best possible value for their pupils."
Ian Simpson, from Armoy, who is in his 40s, has a head injury following a crash that happened after 16:00 BST on Saturday.
Mr Simpson had been racing in the 400cc Supersport race.
Belfast Health Trust confirmed that the motorcyclist's condition was stable.
In a statement on Sunday afternoon, Armoy Motorcycle Road Racing Club said the news was "positive".
"The clerk of the course, Bill Kennedy, visited Ian and his family this afternoon in the Royal Victoria Hospital and spoke personally with Ian. He has now been moved out of the ICU and into a high dependency unit," the statement said.
"We are aware that the many local fans and the wider road racing fraternity will be keen to know how Ian is and at this stage we are delighted to say the news is positive."
Liam Beckett was commentating for Radio Ulster at the race.
"In that particular race, the red flags went up. It happened at a part of the circuit known as the Church Bends which would have been about one and a half miles into the circuit," he said.
"The longer the delay, the more we knew it was quite serious. The air ambulance arrived and got the rider off as quickly as possible to hospital."
It follows a blog by a UK-based IT consultant who detailed how his Smart TV was sending data about which channels were being watched.
His investigation also indicated that the TVs uploaded information about the contents of devices attached to the TV.
It could mean LG has broken the law.
The Information Commissioner's Office told the BBC it was looking into the issue.
"We have recently been made aware of a possible data breach which may involve LG Smart TVs," said a spokesman.
"We will be making enquiries into the circumstances of the alleged breach of the Data Protection Act before deciding what action, if any, needs to be taken."
When the consultant - Hull-based Jason Huntley - contacted the South Korean company he was told that by using the TV he had accepted LG's terms and conditions, and that any remaining concerns should be directed to the retailer who had sold him the screen.
But when the BBC contacted LG, it indicated it was looking into the complaint.
"Customer privacy is a top priority at LG Electronics and as such, we take this issue very seriously," said a spokesman.
"We are looking into reports that certain viewing information on LG Smart TVs was shared without consent.
"LG offers many unique Smart TV models which differ in features and functions from one market to another, so we ask for your patience and understanding as we look into this matter."
Mr Huntley said he had first come across the issue in October when he had begun researching how his Smart TV had been able to show his family tailored adverts on its user interface.
Digging into the TV's menu system, he had noticed that an option called "collection of watching info" had been switched on by default, he said.
After switching it off, he had been surprised to find evidence that unencrypted details about each channel change had still been transmitted to LG's computer servers, but this time a flag in the data had been changed from "1" to "0" to indicate the user had opted out.
"That's a terrible implementation of the idea," Mr Huntley told the BBC.
"It still sends the traffic but labels it saying I didn't want it to be sent.
"It's actually worse, I think, than if they'd not offered the opt-out in the first place since it allows the user to believe nothing is being sent."
He had then attached an external hard drive to the TV's USB slot, expecting that the screen might simply report that he had been watching material from an external device, he said.
Instead he had found the name of each media file stored on the drive - including photos labelled with his children's names - had been sent back to LG.
He had confirmed this had been the case by creating a mock video clip that he had named "midget porn", which had then showed up in unencrypted traffic sent back to LG, he said.
Mr Huntley suggested that even if LG had never inspected the data, it could still pose a security risk as hackers could take advantage of the practice.
"I can't prove that this was being actively logged by LG, but nevertheless it was being transmitted in the clear across the internet's backbone to wherever the servers are located," he said.
A spokesman for LG said the company intended to comment further "shortly".
Romelu Lukaku fired Everton into the lead before Kevin Mirallas picked up a second yellow before half-time.
Aaron Lennon prodded home to double the lead and with 20 minutes left Lukaku saw a poor penalty saved by Adrian.
Michail Antonio and Diafro Sakho each scored a header, before Payet pounced for West Ham's third in 12 minutes.
The victory, only West Ham's second in their past 10 away matches, sees Slaven Bilic's side leapfrog Manchester United, who play on Sunday, into fifth in the table.
Everton have now lost three of their past four league games at Goodison and stay 11th.
Re-live West Ham's dramatic win at Goodison
Follow reaction to all of Saturday's games
Recent home defeats by Swansea and West Brom meant the pressure was on Everton to record a home victory, and Roberto Martinez's side started very well.
James McCarthy had a fierce shot tipped over before Lukaku turned Reece Oxford on the edge of the box to fire home off the post, with Ross Barkley's brilliant volley parried out soon after.
Even after having Mirallas sent off - after one yellow card for simulation and another for a late challenge on Aaron Cresswell - Everton continued to impress, and their second goal was excellent, Lennon finishing after a slick exchange with Lukaku.
But the crucial moment was yet to come.
Lukaku's weakly struck penalty, after Alex Song was penalised for a foul on Muhamed Besic, meant the home side failed to seal what would have been a sensational win - and was the trigger for West Ham's dramatic comeback.
Scoring three goals in the last 12 minutes to snatch victory from looming defeat is no mean feat - even against 10 men.
With his side 1-0 down at half-time West Ham manager Bilic committed to setting up his side to attack - despite the obvious danger the Toffees posed on the break through Lukaku.
Striker Andy Carroll was introduced for 17-year-old defender Oxford, and two further changes soon followed but the major driving force of the Hammers' turnaround was Payet.
This season the Frenchman has arguably been West Ham's best player and today his influence was vital, crossing for Sakho's leveller before turning home from Sakho's cool flick inside the box for a late winner.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "The key moment was the penalty. That would have been game over and it is a feeling of missed opportunity.
"Everyone got a bit shocked at that moment. The effort, with a man down, it went to the last 10 minutes we found it difficult to do what we had been doing - the way we had to match 11 men cost us in the final 10 minutes.
"It is a shame we could not win because up until the 78th minute we were well worth winning it."
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "It feels great. We don't have a great record here - we don't have a record here at all to be fair.
"This is why English football is so attractive and so good basically. If they scored a penalty we could have lost three or four nil.
"However, nobody could say that over 90 minutes we didn't deserve it. We did, and that is what makes me proud of the team. It is a great day for West Ham."
Both Everton's and West Ham's next match comes in the FA Cup sixth round - the Toffees play at home to Chelsea next Saturday, while West Ham play at Manchester United next Sunday.
Hayes' side lost 3-0 at home to Wolfsburg on Wednesday in the first leg of their Champions League last-32 tie.
Chelsea are playing in Europe for only their second season, while the German side have reached three of the past four finals.
"It just takes time. We all want it to happen quite quickly," said Hayes.
She told BBC Sport: "Wolfsburg have been doing this a little bit longer - we've had professionals for a year and a half. They have a budget that is probably three times bigger."
Hayes said English clubs still had "a lot of learning" to do.
She added: "We've gone from being a semi-professional game to a full-time game really, really quickly. We still need a few more setbacks and disappointments in order to grow from that."
Newly crowned English champions Manchester City Women host Russian side Zvezda-2005 in their first leg on Thursday, while Glasgow City begin their campaign at Swedish debutants Eskilstuna United.
Bayern Munich thrashed a young Hibernian side 6-0 at Easter Road on Wednesday.
A German side has reached 14 of the 15 Women's European Cup finals, winning nine. Arsenal, winners in 2006-07, are the only British club to have ever knocked out a German club, beating Turbine Potsdam in 2012-13 before eventually losing to Wolfsburg.
Wolfsburg manager Ralf Kellerman - whose side knocked out Chelsea in the last 16 last season - said they did not expect to win so convincingly on Wednesday.
"We came here with a lot of respect," he said. "With a lot of games that we have seen them play, Chelsea would be at the top of the Bundesliga and I don't think they reached the level they can achieve in this game."
At international level, England beat Germany for the first time in 31 years in a third-place play-off at the 2015 World Cup in Canada.
Hungary midfielder Zsanett Jakabfi's hat-trick saw Wolfsburg punish Chelsea for some poor defending at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea and England winger Gemma Davison added: "Playing teams like this is where you learn a lot.
"We know we have got a good team and we need to get to this level. We'll be going back to the drawing board."
Hayes added: "We're still learning. I remember Ralf Kellermann once saying it took four or five years. When I was at Arsenal, it took six or seven years."
Chelsea travel to Wolfsburg for the second leg on 12 October.
But the report from the IAEA said the efforts did not go beyond planning and testing of basic components.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said the findings confirmed that Tehran's nuclear programme was peaceful.
The report was a condition of this year's landmark deal between Iran and six world powers.
The July agreement involves the lifting of sanctions in return for Iran curbing sensitive nuclear activities.
In its report, the IAEA said most of the "co-ordinated" work by Iran took place before 2003, with some activities continuing up to 2009.
But it added "these activities did not advance beyond feasibility and scientific studies, and the acquisition of certain relevant technical competences and capabilities".
Will US and Iran shake hands in 2017?
How to get the bomb - in 60 seconds
Iran nuclear deal: Key details
Iran nuclear crisis: Six key points
The report will now be forwarded to the IAEA's board for discussion later in December.
Iran has long insisted its nuclear activities are peaceful and warned it would not implement parts of the nuclear accord unless the IAEA's investigations into whether its programme had military aspects were closed.
The US state department said the report "adequately addressed outstanding questions on the past military dimensions of Iran's nuclear programme".
Spokesman Mark Toner said the nuclear accord would provide enough transparency and access to ensure there would be no repeat of Tehran's activities.
Uranium enrichment: Iran can operate 5,060 first generation centrifuges, configured to enrich uranium to 3.67%, a level well below that needed to make an atomic weapon. It can also operate up to 1,000 centrifuges at its mountain facility at Fordow - but these cannot be used to enrich uranium.
Plutonium production: Iran has agreed to reconfigure its heavy water reactor at Arak, so that it will only produce a tiny amount of plutonium as a by-product of power generation, and will not build any more heavy water reactors for 15 years.
Inspections: International monitors will be able to carry out a comprehensive programme of inspection of Iran's nuclear facilities.
Sanctions: All EU and US energy, economic and financial sanctions, and most UN sanctions, will be lifted on the day Iran shows it has complied with the main parts of the deal.
Singles wins for Heather Watson and Johanna Konta, and a doubles victory for Jocelyn Rae and Laura Robson, gave Britain a 3-0 win in Group C.
They go on to face Latvia on Thursday and Turkey on Friday, with the group winners earning a play-off against the Group B winners on Saturday.
The winners of that tie will progress to a World Group II play-off in April.
Britain are seeded third among the 14 nations in Tallinn and first in their group, and Portugal were unable to overcome the gap in rankings.
Watson, the world number 72, began with a 57-minute 6-1 6-1 win over Ines Murta, ranked 546th.
World number 10 Konta then saw off 246th-ranked Michelle Larcher de Brito 6-2 6-4 to clinch the tie.
Rae and Robson beat De Brito and Murta 6-2 6-3 in the concluding doubles match.
"I'm really happy to have got the match under my belt," said Konta. "It was a high-level match, and it got better and better as the match went on. She made me work for it in the end and I'm really happy to have come through for the team.
"We'll try to come back stronger every day."
Asked about new captain Anne Keothavong, who replaced Judy Murray in the role at the end of last year, Konta added: "I think she is doing a tremendous job of bringing us together as a team.
"It's always a tricky one because we spend most of the year as individuals, so for her to do such a good job with us, it says a lot about her.
"We've got lots of team bonding in the evenings, lots of funny things going on."
Watson added: "It's my first match since the Aussie Open so I'm really happy with the way I played and also to get the first win under the belt for GB.
"It was great having Annie there and she'll continue to do a great job. So far I've really been enjoying the trip with her as captain."
Britain are likely to face the toughest test of the group stage on Thursday when they take on Latvia, led by world number 35 Jelena Ostapenko, who beat Turkey 2-1 in Wednesday's other Group C tie.
Unlike the men's Davis Cup, which has a World Group of 16 nations, the Fed Cup divides its top teams into two groups of eight - World Group I and World Group II.
The 91 nations outside the top tiers are divided into three regional zones and Britain have one chance per year to escape - a format that hugely frustrated former captain Judy Murray.
The Europe/Africa Group I event, which this year takes place in Estonia, sees 14 teams divided into groups, with Poland, Croatia, Britain and Serbia the seeded nations.
Four group winners will progress to promotion play-offs on Saturday, and two nations will then qualify for World Group II play-offs in April - which could see Britain given a home Fed Cup tie for the first time since 1993.
They fell at the same stage in 2012 and 2013 - away ties in Sweden and Argentina - under the captaincy of Murray.
From 14:00 GMT on Monday we will rerun, in full and 'as live', the highs and lows of the classic final between the Crazy Gang and the Culture Club.
If you've never seen the match before you'll enjoy the traditions of Cup final day - from reporters at the team hotel to the huge marching band on the pitch - the 'physical' tackling of the late 1980s and the easy life of a defender before the backpass rule was enforced.
Thanks to the BBC's innovative live technology, you will be able to watch or relive the final as though it is unfolding for the first time, as the match is replayed in full, including 'live' video and full text commentary.
There will also be the chance to see the original BBC presentation from Des Lynam, and punditry from Jimmy Hill and Bob Wilson.
Keep your eyes peeled for special guests including the parents of Liverpool winger John Barnes and comedians Les Dennis and Russ Abbot.
The match will be available to watch across four screens - PC, tablet, mobile and connected TV - from bbc.co.uk/facup or through the BBC Sport apps for mobiles, tablets and connected TVs.
You will also be able to get involved with the action as it happens through social media - just like every matchday on the BBC Sport website.
Coverage starts at 14:00 GMT with the match kicking off at 15:00 GMT.
Samuel Bishop, 29, of Hamilton Drive in Stourbridge, admitted two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs with intent to cause distress.
Mr Bishop changed a woman's Facebook picture to one of a sexual nature and distributed it online.
He was ordered to pay an £85 victim surcharge, £85 court costs and a £180 court charge by Dudley magistrates.
Not much bigger than a human fingertip, Mahony's Toadlet has a distinctive marbled underbelly.
The species was discovered by accident not far from the airport at Newcastle, 160km (100 miles) north of Sydney.
The tiny amphibian has been named after Professor Michael Mahony, a renowned frog expert and conservationist.
University of Newcastle researcher Simon Clulow made the discovery several years ago, but it is has just been made public in the scientific journal Zootaxa.
Dr Clulow said the frog's ability to camouflage itself is probably why it remained hidden for so long.
"Unfortunately, because the frog only seems to occur in these coastal sand-bed swamps in quite a restricted distribution it means that it's probably under threat from things like coastal developments," he said.
Not to be confused with a toad, the native Australian frog species has glands on its back similar to toads found in Europe and the America.
Its unique black-and-white belly and orange groin made it immediately recognisable as a new species.
"The idea is that as he leaps away his legs shoot out and there's this brilliant flash of colour and that supposedly startles the predator," Dr Clulow said.
His escape route from Altiplano jail was more than 1.5km (1 mile) long and had ventilation and stairs, the national security commissioner said.
Eighteen guards are being questioned.
Guzman was last seen in the showers of the jail on Saturday. It was the second time he had escaped from a top security prison.
In 2001 he broke out by hiding in a laundry basket after bribing prison officials.
He had been serving a sentence of more than 20 years after being arrested in Guatemala in 1993.
His recapture in 2014 was hailed as a victory for Mexico's government.
Guzman's escape is a huge embarrassment to the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto.
Earlier this year, his administration dismissed concerns that Guzman could escape for a second time, but the government's worst nightmare has unfolded.
Since Mr Nieto took office in 2012, authorities have detained or killed numerous top drug lords. However, this escape is seen as a mockery of the Mexican prison system and shows the difficulty in keeping one of the country's most powerful criminals behind bars.
It seems unlikely that the prison break took place without some form of inside help.
A manhunt has been launched. But even if he's recaptured many here wonder what's the point of putting him back in a Mexican jail.
Officials say that Guzman's escape was discovered when officers checked his cell in the jail, which is near the capital, Mexico City.
They found a hole around 10m (32ft) deep with a ladder, which led to the tunnel. It came to an end at a construction site outside the prison walls, security commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said at a news conference.
A motorcycle was also discovered, which police believe was used to transport tools and remove earth from the space.
A manhunt has been launched and flights suspended at a nearby Toluca airport.
Guzman's wealth is estimated at $1bn (£630m).
His rise to head of the Sinaloa cartel made him the world's most wanted drug trafficker. It smuggles huge amounts of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine into the United States.
Before his recapture in 2014, the US state department had offered a reward of up to $5m (£3.2m) for information leading to his arrest.
Isabella Sorley, 23, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison and John Nimmo, 25, of South Shields, was jailed for eight weeks.
They had pleaded guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court to improper use of a communications network.
After sentencing, Ms Criado-Perez said she was relieved the judge understood the impact the abuse had had on her.
Their messages were sent last July after Ms Criado-Perez led a campaign using social media for a female figure to appear on a Bank of England note.
Nimmo also targeted Stella Creasy, the Labour MP for Walthamstow, who was among the high-profile public figures who backed the bid.
The court heard that one tweet from Sorley started with an expletive and continued: "Die you worthless piece of crap." Ms Criado-Perez was also told to "go kill yourself".
Sorley also sent the message: "I've only just got out of prison and would happily do more time to see you berried!!"
In a separate set of abusive messages, Nimmo told Ms Criado-Perez to "shut up" and made references to rape followed by "I will find you (smiley face)".
District Judge Howard Riddle said the effects on both women were "substantial" and it was "hard to imagine more extreme threats".
Ms Criado-Perez felt "terrified" every time the doorbell rang, he said, while Ms Creasy had a panic button installed at her home.
The judge said of the abusive tweets: "The fact that they were anonymous heightened the fear.
"The victims had no way of knowing how dangerous the people making the threats were, whether they had just come out of prison, or how to recognise and avoid them if they came across them in public."
The court heard that university-educated Sorley had 25 previous convictions, the majority for being drunk and disorderly.
While on bail for this case she also committed two offences of assaulting a police officer and is awaiting sentence for an assault on New Year's Day, the court was told.
Sean Caulfield, defending Sorley, said she herself was a "victim" of new technology as she did not understand the impact of what she was doing.
Paul Kennedy, defending Nimmo, described him as a "somewhat sad individual" who is "effectively a social recluse".
Mr Kennedy said that, when Nimmo's original tweet was responded to and retweeted, it encouraged him to send more messages as he saw it as an "indication of popularity".
Ms Criado-Perez said in a statement: "It's hard to get my thoughts together at the moment as my stomach is churning - hearing the outcome has made me realise how tense and anxious I have been feeling. But here goes.

Isabella Sorley shook her head as her abusive tweets were read out in court. The graduate who already has 25 convictions - mostly for being drunk and disorderly - claimed she sent these messages in the early hours when she was inebriated.
Her lawyer insisted the 22-year-old was herself a victim, "of a lack of understanding of new technology - and how powerful it is".
John Nimmo - according to his lawyer - is a "social recluse" from South Shields who only leaves his house to empty the bins.
The 25-year-old, who had no previous convictions, was said to have no social boundaries and did not appreciate the harm he had caused.
When a producer from BBC Two's Newsnight programme tracked Nimmo down after he had sent the abuse, the former call centre worker told him: "The police will do nothing, it's only Twitter."
Northumbria Police did do something though - and today the recluse who rarely went out was led away to his new, temporary home - a prison cell.
"I did not attend the sentencing as I didn't feel I could cope with being in court with them - and I didn't feel sure that the judge would understand how terrifying and scarring the whole experience has been for me, which again is not something I could face.
"I feel immensely relieved that the judge clearly has understood the severity of the impact this abuse has had on me."
Sorley and Nimmo admitted earlier this month to sending by means of a public electronic communications network messages which are menacing in character, under the Communications Act 2003.
The judge said both defendants would serve half their sentences in custody and ordered them to pay £800 each in compensation. Ms Criado-Perez said the damages awarded to her would go to charity.
The Metropolitan Police said the pair were arrested after an investigation by its Cyber Crime Unit, following complaints from two women who were targeted on social networking sites.
Scotland Yard said a 32-year-old man arrested in Bristol in August remained on bail as part of the same investigation.
A 27-year-old man arrested in York in November has been released with no further action.
David Wright, director of the UK Safer Internet Centre, said the sentences showed the courts took such offences seriously.
He said: "It sets the tone. We've seen a number of cases over the last 12 months; that this notion of trolling, of bullying online, has just grown."
A spokesman for Twitter UK said: "Our Trust and Safety team works 24 hours a day to respond to reports of abusive tweets. We are increasing the size of this team to make out response time even faster.
"We cannot stop people saying offensive things on Twitter. But we take action when content is reported to us that is against our rules or is illegal."
The Bank of England announced last July that author Jane Austen would appear on the next £10 note.
Lord Ramsbotham said 30% of prisoners, some 25,000 inmates, could be freed.
And Bob Neill, Conservative chairman of the Justice Select Committee, said prisoner numbers in England and Wales needed to be cut straight away.
Justice Secretary Michael Gove has said he will not artificially "manage down" the prison population.
And the Conservative former Justice Secretary Ken Clarke said reforms would not fully succeed until the prison population was reduced.
Plans for prisons are expected to feature in the Queen's Speech next week, setting out the government's planned legislation for the year ahead.
Asked whether prisoners needed to be released before any of Justice Secretary Michael Gove's reforms were put in place, Lord Ramsbotham told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Absolutely. He can't possibly do it with the numbers as they are now."
The cross-bench peer said some prisoners on indeterminate sentences for public protection and those who are mentally ill should be let out, adding that he estimated 30% of inmates did not need to be in prison.
He said he supported the aims of the government's planned reforms, first spelt out by the prime minister earlier this year.
Ken Clarke, justice secretary between 2010 and 2012, said: "The reforms will not fully succeed until you reduce the prison population. You can do things if you have more sensible sentencing for people who aren't hardened criminals."
And Mr Neill said he strongly supported the government's reform proposals but added: "I think we should be looking to start reducing the prison population straight away."
But a fellow Conservative on the committee - Philip Davies - said a "ridiculously low" percentage of criminals were jailed. He asked: "Are we going to have rapists, murderers, burglars out of prison?"
Mr Gove has said he will not artificially "manage down" the prison population, believing his reforms will mean less reoffending and lower numbers over time. However, he has said "we should make changes within the current population".
In a speech on prison reform in February, the prime minister said the justice system should better address prisoners' illiteracy, addiction and mental health problems. He pledged to give prison governors more autonomy and to publish data showing how well or poorly prisons performed.

Ministers says the new tests, to be introduced in 2016, will ensure higher standards and that all pupils receive the attention they deserve.
Most schools in England already assess Reception children on entry to school, but this step will formalise that.
Schools will retain results to measure and track each pupil's progress.
The baseline assessments will be undertaken one-to-one with a member of staff and will focus on some of the key building blocks of learning, such as counting and picture and letter and number recognition.
Schools will be required to publish details of their pupils' progress, which will be measured against the average achievement level of all children in England in the same year group.
The new tests for pupils in their last year of primary school will cover maths, reading, grammar, punctuation and spelling, and children will be expected to reach a higher level than currently.
Schools will have to ensure at least 85% of their pupils achieve the expected standard at age 11, and that pupils make their expected progress from age four, compared with others with a similar level of understanding in reception. Those that are behind on both measures will be judged to be failing.
The present system based on achievement levels - with Level 4 the expected level at age 11 - is being scrapped from this September.
Ministers say these levels are "unambitious, too broad and do not give parents a meaningful picture of how their children are performing".
Instead, schools will be given the freedom to design their own systems of measuring pupil performance and reporting it to parents, including through what ministers say will be "clearer school reports".
Schools Minister David Laws said: "The new system will mean higher standards, no hiding place for underperforming schools and coasting schools, and real credit being given to schools and colleges which may have challenging intakes but which improve their pupils' performance.
"In primary schools, we are raising the bar to improve standards and introducing a proper measure of progress from when children start school to age 11.
"I want to see all children leaving primary school with a good standard of reading, writing and maths so that they can thrive at secondary school.
"A better start at secondary school is a better start in life."
National Association of Head Teachers general secretary Russell Hobby said the government had worked with the teaching unions on the new assessment framework.
He welcomed "the emphasis on progress as the defining measure of school performance and the recognition that there is more to primary education than preparing for secondary education, and, indeed, more to preparing for secondary school than tests in English and maths".
"We welcome the retention of teaching assessment in writing and that test results for spelling, punctuation and grammar tests will be used to inform teaching rather than to hold schools to account," he said.
"I believe the profession should take seriously the proposal to baseline performance in reception.
"The first three years of education are arguably the most important and they are currently ignored in the accountability framework, punishing those schools who serve the most challenging communities."
We asked Ben King, who just happens to be captaining the England team at the 2015 World championships in Belgium, to give us his top 5 reasons to get into Korfball and this is what he said...
In a world where gender inequality is a big topic of debate, korfball acts as a beacon because it is always and only a mixed-gender sport. All korfball teams must have 4 male and 4 female players with teamwork between genders being absolutely crucial to a team's success.
Unlike in most sports, there are no set positions in korfball. At any given moment you will either be attacking or defending but after 2 goals are scored you will change ends meaning that attackers become defenders and defenders become attackers. This means that players get the chance to learn all elements of the game from shooting to passing to defending.
As a team sport, korfball naturally creates an air of camaraderie and comradeship. Everyone who plays is friendly and welcoming and in the summer, there are big outdoor tournaments where you will get opportunities to meet even more people. This korfball community extends across the globe and as the sport is played in around 60 countries you'll soon build up an international network.
Korfball is a dynamic, high-energy game that will get your heart pumping and your blood flowing. The cost of joining most clubs around the UK is also often cheaper than a gym membership meaning that playing korfball is a sound investment for both your body and your bank account.
I have played korfball for 12 years now and never has telling someone about korfball for the first time failed to start an interesting conversation. People are fascinated by the unfamiliar and their initial reactions will tell you a lot about their personality. It has also come up in many of my job interviews and certainly helped me in a few of them!
There is korfball available for all skill levels in the UK but for the more ambitious it is not inconceivable that you could one day play for your country with the right level of commitment and coaching. There have, in fact, been some recent examples of players who have gone from beginners to international players in 4 or 5 years.
Convinced to try it out? We hoped you'd say that. Take a look at our guide to getting into Korfball to find out how to start playing near you.
Six young stoats have been taken into care by an animal welfare charity after being found next to their dead mother.
The animals, which are thought to be five to six weeks old, were discovered on a road in North Kessock, near Inverness, late last month.
They are being cared for at the Scottish SPCA's National Wildlife Rescue Centre at Fishcross in Clackmannanshire.
The stoats have been nicknamed after characters in the hit US sitcom Friends - Ross, Joey, Chandler, Rachel, Monica and Phoebe.
Centre manager Colin Seddon said: "They are all feeding themselves and we're going to move them to a large outdoor enclosure soon.
"We'll release them back into the wild as a group when they are fully independent.
"They look very cute and cuddly now, but when they're fully grown they will be a predator to other wildlife such as rabbits, mice and voles."
Wrth ymateb i ffigyrau pôl piniwn yn awgrymu fod y Ceidwadwyr ar y blaen i'r blaid Lafur yng Nghymru, dywedodd Mrs May wrth gefnogwyr yng nghanolfan gymunedol Bracla ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr nad oedd hi'n "hunanfodlon" a bod polau wedi bod yn anghywir o'r blaen.
Roedd disgwyl i Mrs May hefyd ddweud wrth gefnogwyr, ar ei thaith i amryw o etholaethau yng Nghymru, y gallai "clymblaid ansefydlog o genedlaetholwyr rhwygol" danseilio trafodaethau Brexit a gwneud Jeremy Corbyn yn brif weinidog.
Fe wnaeth y prif weinidog ei sylwadau ym mhapur y Western Mail cyn iddi ymweld â Chymru ddydd Mawrth.
Yn eu hymateb i sylwadau Mrs May, dywedodd Llafur a Phlaid Cymru nad yw'r Ceidwadwyr yn gweithio dros bobl Cymru.
'Clymblaid o anhrefn'
Dywedodd y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol mai nhw yw'r "unig lais o wrthwynebiad i'r llywodraeth Brexit Ceidwadol".
Yn ei haraith, ychwanegodd Mrs May bod Cymru yn "bwysig i'n gwlad" a bod pob pleidlais i'r Ceidwadwyr yng Nghymru yn mynd i "gryfhau sefyllfa" y prif weinidog yn nhrafodaethau Brexit.
"Bydd pleidlais i unrhyw blaid arall yn bleidlais wan i Jeremy Corbyn, fel rhan o glymblaid o anhrefn," meddai.
Ychwanegodd Mrs May hefyd fod yna "esiampl yma yng Nghymru o Blaid Cymru yn gweithio gyda Llafur".
Mae Mr Corbyn eisoes wedi mynnu na fydd "unrhyw gytundebau gyda'r SNP na neb arall".
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Llafur Cymru bod Mrs May "eisiau gwneud yr etholiad yma am Brexit i osgoi craffu ar record y Torïaid o fethiant yng Nghymru ac ar draws y DU".
"Ond y gwir yw bod yr etholiad cyffredinol yma yn ddewis clir rhwng Plaid Lafur Cymru fydd yn sefyll i fyny dros ein cymunedau a'n gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, a phlaid Dorïaidd sydd ddim yn gweithio dros Gymru," meddai.
Dywedodd arweinydd Plaid Cymru yn San Steffan, Hywel Williams na fyddai ei blaid yn caniatáu "dinistriad bwriadol o ddiwydiant Cymru a chreu llwydni i genedlaethau o bobl ifanc".
"Bydd y Torïaid yn ennill yr etholiad yma," meddai. "Dyw'r blaid Lafur gwan a rhanedig ddim yn barod i ffurfio llywodraeth felly mae'r etholiad yma am yrru'r bobl gryfaf i San Steffan i sefyll i fyny yn erbyn y Torïaid i amddiffyn Cymru.
"Plaid Cymru yw'r unig blaid fydd yn sefyll i fyny yn San Steffan a sicrhau bod gwaith y llywodraeth yn gweithio dros Gymru, nid de ddwyrain Lloegr yn unig."
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol bod Brexit eisoes yn cael effaith yng Nghymru.
"Mae'r etholiad yma yn gyfle i newid cyfeiriad y wlad ac atal Brexit caled," meddai.
Wrth gyfeirio at y Gwasanaeth Iechyd dywedodd Mrs May: "Os ydych chi eisiau gweld beth mae Llafur eisiau ei wneud gyda'r gwasanaeth iechyd, edrychwch ar y problemau fan hyn," meddai.
Galwodd ar bleidleiswyr i roi "mandad i siarad dros Brydain a mandad i arwain Prydain".
He had accused the Metropolitan Police of being "extraordinarily vindictive" in their investigation, saying the case caused him "irreparable harm".
Mr Wallis, 64, from London, was not accused of hacking phones, but prosecutors alleged he "knew" it was happening and "agreed" to it.
An Old Bailey jury cleared him after four days of deliberations.
Mr Wallis broke down in tears as he was cleared of conspiring to illegally intercept voicemails between January 2003 and August 2006, the time he had been editor Andy Coulson's right-hand-man.
After the verdict, he tweeted: "Thanks so so much to all those who stood by me - so grateful #StillStanding."
Mr Wallis is the last of the journalists from the now-defunct Sunday tabloid to face legal action over the hacking it deployed in the hunt for exclusive stories.
Analysis: BBC home affairs reporter Gaetan Portal
The verdict in the Neil Wallis case marks the end of the last outstanding News of the World "phone-hacking" trial.
It's the best part of a decade since £100k-a-year phone-hacker Glenn Mulcaire and royal editor Clive Goodman were jailed. Since then we have seen senior journalists, editors and executives face justice and the secrets of celebrities, politicians and royalty re-examined, in excruciating detail, in open court.
We also learned about some of the secrets of the tabloid newsroom. The illicit, painful love affair between Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson was revealed. Emails sent by Mrs Brooks pointed to her close relationship with Tony Blair.
We saw how those in charge of a 168-year-old newspaper indulged in "dark arts" and illegal newsgathering on an "industrial scale" and how their disastrous conduct led to the Sunday tabloid's demise and lit the touch paper for a massive police investigation into illegal payments to public officials.
So, is this the end of the phone hacking saga? Maybe. Journalists at Mirror Group Newspapers also hacked phones to get the next scoop, but it remains to be seen if any of them will be charged. There is also the possibility of corporate charges against the News of the World's former owners.
NoW phone-hacking scandal
Nine former News of the World journalists have been convicted of phone-hacking since the scandal first came to light: Coulson, ex-royal editor Clive Goodman, ex-chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck, ex-investigations editor Greg Miskiw, ex-features editor Jules Stenson, ex-news editor Ian Edmondson, ex-deputy news editor James Weatherup, ex-reporter Dan Evans and Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator.

"Driven to brink of breakdown" by hacking
Why did case take so long to crack?
Paul Kohler, 55, opened the door of his Kings Road home in Wimbledon to a group of masked men on Monday night.
The gang then brutally beat the academic, leaving him with a badly damaged eye socket and bruises.
Speaking to BBC London, he said: "It is phenomenally terrifying... you almost stand outside of it and look on as if it's some gangster movie."
During the attack, Mr Kohler was thinking about protecting his family. At the time, his 24-year-old daughter, her boyfriend and his wife were in the home.
"It's obviously terrifying but in a way it helped as you don't think of yourself, you think about defending the home, defending your pride; so it was very much defending the family."
Mr Kohler says he cannot move his eye to the left as his eye socket has been fractured and the muscle damaged. He is due to have reconstructive surgery this week.
The academic, who is the head of the law school at the School of Oriental and African Studies, says he thinks he will make a full recovery and will be back to teach at the start of the new term.
"It could have been worse, I could have lost my sight," he said.
"I don't want to sit here harping on about how unlucky I've been, it could have been a lot worse."
Since the incident, Mr Kohler said he had received a lot of good will.
"It's been overwhelmingly positive in that so many friends have come forward as have ex-students that I haven't seen for years.
"This was an awful thing… but what it showed me was the humanity of the people around us."
Two men have been charged with causing grievous bodily harm and aggravated burglary. They were remanded in custody until another court appearance later this month.
Police say they are looking for two more suspects.
Frampton beat Santa Cruz to claim the WBA belt in New York last summer but lost the January rematch in Las Vegas.
But the WBA ended speculation of a third fight between the pair in Belfast by ordering Santa Cruz to defend his belt against his fellow Mexican.
Frampton, 30, is set to announce his next opponent in the next few weeks.
The Belfast boxer has indicated that the fight is likely to take place at Windsor Park, home of the Northern Ireland football team, in late July or early August.
A WBA statement read: "The World Boxing Association Championship Committee ordered Mexicans featherweight Leo Santa Cruz (33-1-1, 18 KO) super champion and Abner Mares (30-2-1, 15 KO) regular champion working teams to negotiate their upcoming mandatory fight.
"They were given a 30 [day] negotiating period, and should they not reach an agreement, the WBA will summon a purse bid.
"Mares won the regular WBA featherweight title on December 2016, when he defeated unanimously Argentina's Jesus Cuellar, winning the right to face Santa Cruz for the second time."
The Mexicans met before in 2015 in a bout considered one of the best fights of the year, which ended in a majority decision to Santa Cruz, who became the WBA featherweight super champion.
The news could pave the way for Frampton to fight IBF champion Lee Selby of Wales.
Their 1-0 victory secured their place at next year's finals in Gabon as one of the two best group runners-up.
Group D rivals Burkina Faso also qualified with a late 2-1 win over Botswana to finish top of the table.
Tunisia and DR Congo qualified as winners of their groups and Togo went through as the second best group runners-up on goal difference.
Sixteen teams will compete at next year's tournament, which runs from 14 January to 5 February: the 13 group winners and two best group runners-up, plus hosts Gabon.
Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Morocco, Senegal and Zimbabwe had booked their places before Sunday's matches.
Burkina Faso, who lost to Nigeria in the 2013 final, left it very late to guarantee their qualification after Prejuce Nakoulma's 18th-minute opener was cancelled out by a Botswana equaliser from the penalty spot.
Visitors Botswana fought to hold their opponents, despite having Lesego Galenamotlhale dismissed on 61 minutes and Kabelo Dambe sent off with two minutes of normal time remaining.
But Banou Diawara struck deep into injury time for the Burkinabe, who had Steeve Yago sent off moments before, to give them the victory and 13 points from their six group games.
Uganda also reached 13 points, thanks to a 35th-minute winner by Farouk Miya in Kampala, but they finished in second place in the group because of a inferior head-to-head record against Burkina Faso.
However, it was enough to send the Cranes to the finals for the first time for 38 years. Some Ugandan players raised their arms and others sank to their knees at the end of the match.
Uganda's last appearance at the Nations Cup ended in a runners-up spot when they lost to Ghana in the final.
Togo were, perhaps, the surprise qualifiers as other results went their way and they thrashed Djibouti 5-0 to book their place as a best group runner-up.
Vincent Bossou opened the scoring and Komlan Agbegniadan grabbed a brace in a three-minute spell at the end of the match to add further gloss to the scoreline.
The win meant Togo finished in second in Group A as Tunisia beat Liberia 4-1 in what was a winner-takes-all top-of the table clash, and the Sparrow Hawks pipped Group C runners-up Benin to the finals on goal difference.
Benin's hopes were ruined by a 5-2 hammering by already-qualified Mali.
In April Togo appointed Claude LeRoy as their new manager and he has had a huge impact on them, despite the the threat of a prison sentence hanging over him for alleged involvement in fraudulent transfers at French club Strasbourg.
He is now in line to coach at a record-extending nine Nations Cup tournaments.
Tunisia and Liberia went into their match level on 10 points and everything at stake.
Wahbi Khazri and Taha Yassine Khenissi put the Tunisians 2-0 up in the first half and although Liberia pulled a goal back on 71 minutes, the hosts responded with a quickfire double to assert total control.
Group B also featured a clash between the top two, with the possibility of DR Congo or Central African Republic going through as winners.
But the pressure was on visitors CAR, who needed a victory while DR Congo needed only a point, and it proved too much for the politically-troubled nation as they were soundly beaten 4-1.
Earlier on Sunday, Group E reached its conclusion with two dead rubbers, as Guinea-Bissau had clinched top spot and a best-placed runners-up spot was out of reach for the other teams.
Guinea-Bissau fell to a 1-0 defeat by Congo, while Zambia and Kenya drew 1-1.
And in Group L, Swaziland failed to give themselves a chance of a best-placed runners-up spot as they were beaten 1-0 by Malawi.
Zimbabwe had already qualified as the group winners, so their 1-0 away defeat by Guinea later on Sunday had no bearing on qualification.
Already-qualified pair Algeria and Morocco eased to victories against Lesotho and Sao Tome e Principe respectively.
Algeria won 6-0 in Group J, with two goals each for Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez and Dinamo Zagreb's Hilal Soudani.
Morocco beat Sao Tome e Principe 2-0 to finish Group F on 16 points. | Ireland emerged from the conflict that marked its birth as an independent state to become one of Europe's economic success stories in the final decade of the twentieth century.

The patients had alopecia areata - a condition that can cause severe, patchy baldness that is difficult to treat.
But after five months of taking the medication ruxolitinib, all three saw total hair re-growth.
The findings from Columbia University Medical Center are published in the journal Nature Medicine.
Alopecia areata affects around two in every 1,000 people in the UK and is thought to be caused by the immune system attacking hair follicles.
The US scientists had previously identified a set of immune cells involved in the destruction of hair and conducted a number of successful trials in mice.
They then gave three patients with moderate to severe alopecia areata a twice daily dose of ruxolitinib.
This medication is already approved for use in bone marrow conditions in the United States and European Union.
All three patients had lost at least a third of their hair but saw dramatic hair growth within five months of therapy.
Lead researcher Dr Raphael Clynes said: "We've only begun testing the drug in patients, but if the drug continues to be successful and safe, it will have a dramatic positive impact on the lives of people with the disease."
Prof David Bickers, a dermatologist at Columbia University who has treated many patients with the disease, said: "There are few tools in the arsenal for the treatment of alopecia areata that have any demonstrated efficacy.
"This is a major step forward in improving the standard of care for patients suffering from this devastating disease."
Researchers say more work is now needed to see if the drug can be offered more widely.
Alopecia areata can occur at any age but is most often seen in teenagers and young adults.
It is not related to the more common male-pattern hair loss that is thought to be driven by hormones.
Scientists say as the mechanisms behind this condition are different, the therapy is less likely to prove effective for this more common problem.

This pretty village is part of the Edinburgh South West constituency, where some are predicting the SNP will come from fourth place to win.
The players are cheerful and enthusiastic about their music, less so about the election.
The general view was that the referendum was bad enough, but now the politicians are shouting at each other all over again.
Not everyone feels that of course. Many think the referendum was the most exciting, engaging public event in an age and breathed new life into democratic debate.
What is not in doubt is that that plebiscite is the vital background to this general election, north of the border.
Nor should anyone doubt that when Scotland votes on 7 May what happens here could determine who becomes prime minister and define British politics for years to come.
It is a paradoxical election - in general it is a close run thing, where the main parties are all but flatlining.
But many expect we will wake up on 8 May to one huge change - a SNP landslide that wipes out Labour in its heartlands.
Poll after poll (and, yes, they can be wrong and are only snapshots) suggests that.
It also seems a paradox that the SNP strength has grown out of weakness, the defeat of its cause in the referendum.
Professor of politics at Strathclyde University John Curtice, the expert's expert on polling and Scottish politics, isn't surprised by the SNP's predicted surge across the country.
He says: "Essentially what the opinion polls are suggesting the SNP are going to get roughly the 45% that the 'Yes' side got in the referendum and indeed roughly the 45% the SNP got in the Scottish Parliament election of 2011.
"In other words, we talk quite loosely about there being an SNP surge in Scotland, this simply looks like the third occasion when the nationalists' forces are going to get around 45%."
What has changed of course is that now that could be translated into Westminster seats.
At the farmers' market it is striking how many are considering the SNP.
This sprawling, pizza-slice shaped constituency runs from the lush Pentland Hills to the centre of Edinburgh, taking in suburban mansions and working-class tenements.
It was the seat of the former Labour Chancellor and leader of the Better Together campaign Alistair Darling, before that of the then Conservative Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind.
It is genteel old Edinburgh, a place with a history of industries that pre-date Scotland's mines and shipyards. The first pair of wellington boots were produced here, as well as the paper for the first Scottish bank note.
As the Spectator points out, in England it would be natural Conservative territory.
It voted "No" to independence. And yet the SNP hopes and expects to take the seat in May.
One man, browsing the stalls with his toddler in a push chair can't decide between the Conservatives and the SNP.
Alan, a volunteer digging away in the trim and attractive community garden, thinks the SNP has done a pretty good job in Scotland, but he is against independence so won't vote for them.
Gill, also helping out in her wellies, probably will go for the SNP - but maybe the Greens.
A man selling locally made jam for charity thinks many feel let down by the main parties, and so will give the SNP a go.
Random vox pops are even further from a scientific survey than opinion polls, but I think these may reflect an important fact - across Scotland the SNP, which currently has only six MPs, may be taking most votes off Labour, currently the largest party with 40 MPs - but it appeals right across the spectrum.
For some of those who consider independence dangerous, the referendum has detoxified the SNP - more MPs may help the party achieve their long-term goal, but this time independence is not on the ballot paper.
Then, I keep hearing: "They put Scotland first."
There is a perception all the other parties have to make compromises with their colleagues in the rest of the UK, but the SNP is free of that constraint.
Conservative leader in Scotland Ruth Davidson answers: "I know that it has been quite a tough five years, and I know we have made some tough decisions, but we've got more people in work, and what the SNP is proposing £180bn worth more borrowing.
"What we are saying is, 'Let's finish the job we started.'"
The Greens' co-convener in Scotland, Patrick Harvie, says: "I think there are a lot of people who see some positive points from the SNP, but very often they don't go far enough.
"So for example people who want to protect the NHS know that it has to be protected from that EU-US trade deal and that threatens a whole host of other things as well and it needs to be killed off.
"The SNP's position is a good step but not far enough."
The third factor is a general feeling, of course disputed by other parties, that the SNP has done a reasonable job in government and is a serious, competent and professional party.
They nationalists are out in force in Gorgie, a more working-class area, further in towards the city centre.
About 40 volunteers pose in front of a picture of the woman they hope will be their next MP.
The campaign manager, Sarah, tells the canvassers who should be in which tenant flat.
Much of the knocking is fruitless, and I'm puzzled why, when the "wrong" person answers there is no attempt to convert them.
The reply is quick - they aren't on the electoral register at that address so can't vote, and it's not that sort of canvass - not to change minds but to pin down where potential supporters are so they can be chased up on election day.
This is a highly professional ground game.
By contrast, the Labour activists, who tell me they have a stall in the farmers' market, have packed up because of the cold by the time we arrive at 11:00 BST and say they have nobody out in this large constituency in the afternoon.
It is not only in the special forces that the motto "He who dares, wins," is apt.
Privately the SNP is confident that if there is a hung Parliament, Labour will do a deal.
I put it to deputy leader Stuart Hosie MP that it has boxed itself into a corner by ruling out a coalition with the Tories and a confidence-and-supply agreement with a Labour Party that refuses to scrap Trident.
"If the SNP are in a pivotal position in a hung Parliament, Labour would be rather foolish if they didn't want to speak to us to try to get their policies through," he says.
"The Trident issue is particularly important if there is a confidence-and-supply agreement - let's wait and see how many anti-Trident Labour MPs down south get elected.
"The alternative to that is an incredibly arrogant position from [Labour leader] Ed Miliband, effectively, 'Take it or leave it.'"
You have to feel for Labour's new leader in Scotland, Jim Murphy.
He has got the drive and the strategy and the image that some south of the border lack, and he is pressing all the right buttons - but they needed to be pressed months or years ago.
Here again the referendum looms - it was the more important fight and where Labour's energies were focused.
It also put Labour on the same side as the Conservatives, re-enforcing the feeling it isn't 100% "for Scotland".
Mr Murphy says: "If the SNP want to vote for Labour's manifesto, that is up to them. I am not going to ask, I'm not going to beg, and I am not going to seek permission to put Labour's manifesto to the House of Commons.
"It is just a fact that the SNP are ahead in the opinion polls in Scotland, and if theses polls are repeated on election night, it will be a bad night for the Scottish Labour party, it will be a good night for the SNP and it will be a fantastic night for [Tory leader] David Cameron - he can't beat Labour in Scotland, he needs someone else to do it for him.
"The SNP are at the moment fulfilling the role of David Cameron's little Scottish helpers."
The so far unstoppable rise of the SNP, if translated into seats in May, will pose huge questions for Labour if it forms a minority government.
There will be even bigger ones if it is part of the cause of its defeat.
A party that has pulled off the trick of being seen as UK insurgents when they are in fact also the Scottish government defies expectations, and may yet transform the politics of the UK.
What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election?
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach officially closed the Games during an extravagant 130-minute ceremony.
South Korea was given the Olympic flag as Pyeongchang hosts the 2018 Games.

* Madge Syers won figure skating gold at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London
Britain equalled its best Winter Olympics performance with one gold, one silver and two bronze medals.
The build-up to the Games was overshadowed by concerns over the threat of a terrorist attack and the impact of protests against Russian anti-gay legislation.
But Bach said Russia and the Black Sea resort city of Sochi had "delivered all that it promised" and risen above the concerns to deliver an impressive Olympics.
"These were excellent Games that may lead to the reversal of some criticism of the Russian organisers that preceded the Olympics," he said.
Bach used his speech at the closing ceremony in the Fisht Stadium to emphasise Olympic values.
"By living together under one roof in the Olympic Village you send a powerful message from Sochi to the world, that of a society of peace, tolerance and respect," he said.
"I appeal to everybody implicated in confrontation, oppression and violence to act on this Olympic message of dialogue and peace."
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who watched the ceremony from the stands and made several appearances at the Games to oversee the nation's investment of £600m in elite sport, did not get his wish of a gold medal in the ice hockey.
But victory for the four-man Russian bobsleigh team gave the host nation its 13th gold medal of the Games - and 33 medals in total - to ensure they topped the medal table, emulating Canada's achievement four years ago.

It marked a stunning turnaround from the 2010 Vancouver Games where Russia won just 15 medals, including three golds, to finish 11th overall - its worst-ever result.
"People kept asking me whether I believed Russia could do as well as Canada did in Vancouver and I didn't believe it," said Russian Alexander Legkov, who won gold in the 50km cross-country.
"Now this is our pride, it's wonderful. What could be better than ending the Olympics with a gold medal and helping Russia top the medal table?"
The Games cost £30bn, making Sochi the most expensive Olympics ever, and featured a record 2,800 athletes from 88 countries, with 12 new events added to attract young audiences.
But there were also six failed drugs tests - five more than in Vancouver - as the most extensive anti-doping programme in Winter Olympics history saw a record 2,453 tests carried out.
The host nation's problem with stray dogs has been well documented and struck a chord with many competing athletes.
Many have adopted dogs, while US ice hockey player David Backes is working on plans to open a shelter back home and bring the strays over.
Organisers made a joke at their own expense in the closing ceremony as dancers formed themselves into four rings and a small clump in a nod to the malfunction in the opening ceremony, when one of the Olympic rings failed to open.
For Britain, Sochi marked a record-equalling Winter Olympics, a tally of four medals matching its haul in the inaugural 1924 Games in Chamonix, France.
In doing so, the 56-strong team surpassed the medal target of three set by UK Sport, which awards funding, to raise hopes of a financial boost ahead of the 2018 Games.
Snowboarder Jenny Jones became the first Briton to win a medal on snow with bronze in the slopestyle before Lizzy Yarnold won gold in the skeleton to emulate Amy Williams's success in 2010.
The women's curlers then won bronze and the men's team silver, skip David Murdoch winning a first medal in his third Games.

The total could have been greater still, with the men's four-man bobsleigh team and snowboarder Jamie Nicholls coming close to a podium finish, and short track speed skater Elise Christie suffering the misfortune of three disqualifications.
Britain's athletes now must wait until June to find out whether they will be funded for the next Olympic cycle.
Great Britain chef de mission Mike Hay told BBC Sport: "I am proud of the team's achievements. We have competed to the utmost of our ability.
"I'm delighted with everybody, not just with the medals, but with the number of finals and top-half finishes we have had.
"We have won four medals, which sets a new standard for us. We have come a long way from Vancouver 2010 where we won just the one medal.
"The team has a young profile and I believe we can do even better in Pyeongchang in 2018."
South Korea, with a budget of £7bn for the 2018 Games, will become only the second Asian country to host a Winter Olympics after Japan staged the Games at Sapporo in 1972 and Nagano in 1998.
The Seasiders nearly scored inside 14 seconds but Russell Griffiths saved well from Jamille Matt.
Brad Potts rounded Griffiths in the seventh minute, but blasted a shot against the bar.
Cheltenham took the lead against the run of play in the 18th minute when James Dayton's free-kick was deflected past his own goalkeeper by Danny Pugh.
Griffiths saved well again to keep out Kyle Vassell's shot but Blackpool levelled in the 45th minute after a counter attack. Cheltenham's corner was cleared and Potts led the charge, finding Vassell who beat Griffiths with a low shot.
The hosts regained the lead in the third minute of time added on when Jordan Cranston's cross from the left found Danny Wright at the far post and he notched his fourth of the season.
Vassell struck again less than two minutes into the second half, picking up the ball from Jack Payne and firing a superb shot inside the top left corner from 20 yards as it finished even.

Both said the talks would focus on relations across the Taiwan Straits.
China claims sovereignty over Taiwan and views the island as a breakaway province which will one day be reunited with the mainland.
But ties have improved since President Ma took office in 2008.
The Chinese government threatens to use military force against Taiwan if it ever attempts to gain outright independence.
Taiwanese spokesman Chen Yi-hsin said President Ma's aim was "to promote peace cross the Taiwan Strait and maintain status quo".
Analysis: Cindy Sui, BBC News, Taipei
This meeting, less than three months before Taiwan's elections, is a sign of how concerned China is that the significantly improved ties of recent years could be jeopardised if the pro-independence opposition party's candidate becomes president. Opinion polls show Tsai Ing-wen is leading - a big worry for Beijing.
Ms Tsai has said she welcomes dialogue with Chinese leaders, but Beijing has refused to meet her, indicating it does not trust her.
She was a minister in charge of developing policy toward mainland China under the previous administration, which angered Beijing by trying to work towards formal independence.
Mr Xi may believe he can sway Taiwanese voters but this could backfire. While some voters who want to maintain stable relations may heed his words, they may offend Taiwanese voters who are already worried that Beijing will have increasing influence over Taiwan if the candidate from President Ma's party is elected.
And this could hurt, rather than help, the party favoured by Beijing.
The two leaders are expected to handle the meeting in a delicate manner. Mr Ma's office has emphasised no agreements will be signed and no joint statement will be issued.
Mr Ma will hold a news conference on Thursday to explain his decision to hold the talks. More details are also expected from Taiwan's mainland affairs council later on Wednesday.
China's official Xinhua news agency said the two sides would "exchange views on promoting the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations".
The BBC's John Sudworth in Beijing says Saturday's meeting will mark a significant break with the long-established diplomatic stance.
Contact of any kind between the two sides has been extremely limited and China has resisted anything that might be seen to be giving Taiwan equal status, he says.
In a sign of how politically sensitive the meeting is, the leaders will address each other as Mr Xi and Mr Ma, rather than president, one Chinese government official has said.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the US welcomed any steps to reduce tensions and improve relations, but added: "We'll have to see what actually comes out of the meeting."
Taiwan profile
China profile
Ties with China have improved under President Ma, whose Kuomintang (KMT) party is seen as pro-Beijing.
In July 2009 the two leaders exchanged direct messages for the first time in more than 60 years, albeit in their respective party functions, and not as national leaders.
A year later, the two countries signed a historic trade pact.
However, correspondents say growing fears over China's influence has led to widespread dissatisfaction in Taiwan.
The KMT suffered a crushing defeat in local elections last year, a result that was widely seen as a rejection of President Ma's push for closer ties with China.
Mr Ma steps down next year having served two terms, and earlier this month the KMT dropped its candidate for January's presidential election following a series of poor ratings in opinion polls.
Analysts say China is likely to see a meeting between the two leaders as a final chance to press its case for improved ties, in case the KMT loses the election.
China has insisted that countries cannot have official relations with both China and Taiwan, with the result that Taiwan has formal diplomatic ties with only 21 UN member states.
Taiwan also has no seat at the UN, having lost it to China in 1971. Repeated attempts to regain representation at the UN have been blocked.
Societe Generale's shares are down almost 15%, BNP Paribas has fallen 9.5%, Deutsche is 6.6% lower, RBS has fallen 7.3%, Barclays is down 8.7%, Unicredit (of Italy) is 9.4% lower, Credit Agricole has fallen 11.8% and Commerzbank (of Germany) is 8.8% down.
Strong bankers would weep.
Here are those semi-rational explanations.
First, that the economic recovery in the eurozone has run out of steam - which will lead to big falls in bank profits, especially if borrowers have greater difficulties repaying their debts.
Second, that the ratings agencies could strip France of its AAA rating, in the way that one of them, Standards & Poors, has already done for the US - which could lead to sharp falls in the price of French government bonds, and force big losses on the banks that hold those bonds.
A loss of France's AAA rating could also lead to a downgrading of the debt of French banks, making it more expensive for them to borrow.
But the problem with at least one of those semi-rational explanations is that all three ratings agencies have today said they're not going to downgrade France from AAA, and also that the price of French government bonds has actually risen today, which would be a good thing for French banks.
So the more probable reason for the rout in European banks, which has depressed European stock markets and led to contagion on Wall Street, is simply those very basic emotions that afflict investors from time to time (especially recently): fear and capitulation.
Investors see the European Central Bank half-heartedly buying Italian and Spanish government debt, to prevent borrowing costs for those two countries rising to dangerous levels. And they don't see those central bank purchases as a permanent solution.
A more durable solution, perhaps, would be for the eurozone to issue new bonds backed by all member countries - so called euro bonds - to finance loans to financially stretched member states and to strengthen European banks with injections of capital.
But there's a fear that the scale of the fund raising that would be required to shore up Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal and Ireland - and their respective banks - would foist excessive liabilities on countries like France, which mean it would in the end lose its AAA rating - and that would lead to losses and funding difficulties for French banks.
So if hedge funds are having sport short-selling French and European banks, as I am told they are, we shouldn't perhaps be too surprised.
Flanker Jackson Wray claimed a hat-trick, Chris Ashton scored twice and David Strettle all crossed for Sarries.
Worcester full-back Chris Pennell did his chances of being voted Premiership player of the season no harm with a consolation brace of tries.
Semisi Taulava also crossed in a late revival from Dean Ryan's Warriors.
But, with Alex Goode claiming a 14-point haul with the boot, Worcester's three-year stay on their return to English rugby's top flight, long expected after just one win all season, came to its inevitable end.
Worcester stand-off Ryan Lamb, yellow carded late on for a deliberate knock-on, kicked Warriors' other points, with a penalty and a conversion of Pennell's first try.
Heineken Cup finalists Saracens also had winger Strettle and Neil de Kock yellow carded late on as they ended the game with 13 men.
Saracens have now surpassed the regular-season record for Premiership points scored, having taken their tally to 602 in 21 matches - an average of almost 30 per game.
Saracens rugby director Mark McCall:
"Breaking that record has to mean something for us. You've got to be proud of certain things. And for us to finish top of the tree in the regular season again is a good thing.
"To have more wins than last year and score double the amount of tries probably on last year, that's a sign of progress. And we're in a Heineken Cup final, which is one step further than last year.
"We played Worcester just before Christmas and they are a transformed team from the one we played then. They just seemed beaten before the first whistle, and that team wasn't like that today. They fought for everything.
"They've got some real talent if they keep it all, especially in the back line and I've got no doubt they'll come back stronger for this. The last three months they have actually played well. They've got a good coaching team and they'll be back stronger in time."
Warriors boss Dean Ryan told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"We're in the Championship now, so we can stop talking about ifs. That's going to drive us on, because it's going to hurt.
"There's some big players in that changing room. It will hurt egos, it will test humility and everything else. But it's got to be a driver to ensure we come back to this level."
"What's happened to this club had to happen. If we'd survived in the Premiership it would have been tough, because it has to change. It has to go about its business differently.
"It has to start growing people, supporting people and people have to come here because it is their club, not a stepping stone or a retirement home. And we'll make sure that happens."

Edinburgh Airport saw the biggest growth, followed by Aberdeen and Glasgow.
The capital's airport handled 607,723 passengers in February, a 7.8% rise on the same month last year.
International passenger numbers rose 11.6% to 269,235, driven by new easyJet routes and a second daily Lufthansa service to Frankfurt.
Domestic passenger numbers increased by 4.9%, with 338,488 people travelling through Edinburgh Airport last month.
The airport said the growth was due to an increase in passengers travelling to Heathrow with Virgin Atlantic Little Red and to Gatwick with British Airways.
Gordon Dewar, chief executive of Edinburgh Airport, said: "February was another strong month for us and we're pleased to see a healthy rise in our passenger figures.
"We performed well internationally in February with great results from Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines, whose daily flight on larger aircraft has led to a 97.7% increase in passenger numbers compared to last year.
"We're looking forward to the start of a busy summer schedule and the launch of 10 new routes between March and June, including Chicago, Philadelphia and Doha in May."
Aberdeen Airport saw a 6.5% increase in passenger numbers, with 255,416 people passing through last month.
It reported growth in both the fixed-wing and helicopter operations.
Managing director Carol Benzie welcomed the results as "good news".
She said: "In the coming weeks we will begin our summer schedule.
"This will see an increase in the amount of holiday traffic as new charter destinations continue to be added, such as Corfu for sunseekers.
"Our scheduled operation is also growing with the new service to Riga about to take off and another service to Oslo."
At Glasgow Airport, passenger numbers were up 6% on February 2013, with 448,465 people passing through last month.
The airport said it was a particularly strong month for international traffic, which rose by almost 13% to 174,236 due to demand for long-haul services and a number of airlines such as Jet2.com, Icelandair and KLM adding capacity.
Domestic traffic rose by 2% to 274,229, with strong demand for London and regional services, while CityJet's new Cardiff service also proved popular.
Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: "It is very pleasing to have continued our positive start to 2014, which promises to be a very exciting year.
"We are looking forward to the launch of Citywing's new service to the Isle of Man and in April we will become the first Scottish airport to welcome the A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft, when Emirates will operate a one-off service to mark 10 years of serving Scotland.
"April will signal the start of our busy summer schedule and passengers will notice a great deal of work in the terminal as we continue to invest in new and improved facilities."
She added: "The Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup are just two of the high-profile events coming to Glasgow and Scotland this year, and we are ensuring we will be ready to play our part."
The visitors made the perfect start when Dorrans' drive deflected in off Ben Heneghan in the fourth minute.
The impressive Josh Windass hit the post and bar, but Motherwell responded and Heneghan headed in at the far post.
Louis Moult's careless elbow on Fabio Cardoso allowed Dorrans to convert the penalty, but Ryan Bowman and Alex Fisher missed chances to equalise.
The hosts remain without a league victory against Rangers since Boxing Day 2002, that sorry sequence now extending to 38 matches.
In what was an engrossing game, Rangers had a dream start when they scored after only four minutes. Bruno Alves crossed deftly for Kenny Miller, who headed it down for Dorrans, making his league debut for Pedro Caixinha's men, to drive home his first of the day.
Motherwell were a calamity at the back last season, conceding more goals than any other team bar relegated Inverness. They had to hang on to avoid going another one behind in the early minutes at Fir Park.
Rangers were full of running, repeatedly got in behind their hosts and threatened every time they poured forward, which was often.
Windass was terrific on the left. Motherwell didn't have a notion what to do about him. In the 20th minute he scampered free, beat a couple of men and curled a gorgeous shot on to Trevor Carson's post. Later, he saw another wonderful effort come slapping back off the crossbar.
By then, of course, Motherwell were level. This was a regular feature of Rangers' season last time around, an inability to force home their superiority and convert it into goals.
They had other chances but what they also had was a vulnerability down both flanks, particularly on their right where Lee Hodson toiled in the face of Elliott Frear.
Motherwell weathered the Rangers storm and started building their confidence. Moult volleyed one over, then Craig Tanner slid a half-chance wide.
The equaliser came just before the break when Alves conceded a needless free-kick which Tanner put in the box.
Rangers were all over the place in trying to deal with it. Wes Foderingham stood rooted to his line. None of his defenders took charge either. It was Heneghan's desire and desperation to get to the ball that counted, the big defender getting enough on a diving header to beat Foderingham.
In the midst of all of this Motherwell had a shout for a penalty when a Frear cross looked to come off Hodson's arm.
A penalty was awarded, but it didn't go to the hosts, it went to the visitors when Cardoso was elbowed in the side of the neck by Moult. Referee Bobby Madden was emphatic in pointing to the spot - and he was right. Dorrans took the penalty and he got it right, too.
Motherwell were always in this, though. Rangers' slackness in possession and frailty in defence guaranteed it.
From a Cadden delivery from the right, Bowman came painfully close to levelling it again. With four minutes left, Rangers had to scramble again when Fisher pounced on a loose ball just outside the six-yard box only to see his shot deflect away for a corner off Foderingham. It was a glorious chance.
Rangers saw it out for a hard-fought and desperately needed win. For Pedro Caixinha, relief that they didn't buckle in the end-game. For Stephen Robinson, frustration but also some optimism. Fine game, fine margin.

He said what they had done made some feel "physically sick".
The prison sentences issued to the gang members, who streamed some attacks on the internet, range from two years to 24 years.
The court was told the men would drive hundreds of miles for a chance to rape or abuse a child.
The group, who lived at addresses across England, raped and assaulted three children - a baby, a toddler and a young child - between 2013 and 2014.
Bristol Crown Court heard the men groomed families to get to children, in one case targeting a pregnant woman in order to abuse her baby after its birth.
They would stream and watch attacks live online, providing encouragement to those carrying out abuse. They also shared advice over online chat logs about how to drug young victims.
The judge said: "In the worst nightmare, from the very deepest recesses of the mind, at the darkest hour of the night, few can have imagined the terrifying depravity which you men admit."
He said the depths they sank to were "shocking to all decent people", "provokes tears in many and makes others feel physically sick".
"What you did is contrary to all nature and humanity and you each appear to have a chilling tendency to centre the world on yourselves and your depraved desires without regard for the innocent and vulnerable."
John Brown, from the the NSPCC, said the gravity of the offending is "difficult to comprehend" and the children involved may be affected in later life.
He said: "It may be that they don't have a recollection of what's happened, but trauma can manifest itself in later years so I think that's really important to watch out for.
"Those babies and those children are going to need to be monitored and they need to have on-going longer-term support, and their families as well."
The inquiry began in September 2014 when defendant Adam Toms dialled 999 and was heard crying down the line.
He was arrested after officers were sent to his home following concerns for his welfare and he admitted sexually abusing a child under the age of five.
This triggered the uncovering of an organised crime group, and the resulting inquiry was led by the National Crime Agency (NCA).
All were placed on the sex offenders register for life, except for Harsley. The judge has yet to determine how long he will be on the register for.
Ian Glover, who headed up the National Crime Agency investigation, described them as "by far the worst paedophile group I have ever investigated".
He said they had treated children "as a commodity, to be passed on to others, to be filmed, to be abused and that abuse shown to other paedophiles as a form of currency, so they can get other material back".
Mr Glover said the most important factor had been protecting the children involved, both in this court case and the wider operation, and as a result more than 200 "packages" - intelligence gathered during the inquiry - had been sent to other forces, mostly overseas. Further convictions are expected in the UK and abroad, he said.
The investigation identified three victims but police have put measures in place to protect another 21 children found to be at risk.
Det Ch Insp Simon Crisp, from Avon and Somerset Constabulary, said: "The extremity of the offending in this case is horrifying, but child abuse of this nature is rare."
Rossi, who raced in F1 for Marussia last year, came through from 11th on the grid to claim an unlikely win.
The 24-year-old was running 33rd and last at one stage but took a gamble on strategy before running out of fuel just moments after the chequered flag.
"I've no idea how we pulled that off," the Andretti Autosport driver said.
Rossi made his final pit stop for fuel 36 laps from the end of the race, even though the expected mileage for a single fuel stint around the 2.5-mile track is around 32 laps.
"I'll cherish the fact that at one point we were 33rd," Rossi added. "We rolled the dice and came through and made it happen.
"This is unbelievable. I have no doubt it's going to change my life.''
IndyCar veteran Helio Castroneves of Brazil was the last rookie to win the Indy 500 15 years ago.
Rossi's team-mate Carlos Munoz had to settle for second place after being forced to pit for fuel from the lead with four laps remaining, with American Josef Newgarden third.
James Hinchcliffe, the polesitter who missed this race last year after a near-fatal accident in a practice session, finished seventh.
Max Chilton, like Rossi a former F1 driver with Marussia, came 15th on his Indy 500 debut, while fellow Briton Stefan Wilson - brother of Justin Wilson, who lost his life in an IndyCar race nine months ago - retired after 119 of the 200 laps.
Britain's Pippa Mann - the only woman in the race - finished 18th, two places behind Yorkshireman Jack Hawksworth.
In September, cancer consultant Myles Bradbury admitted abusing 18 boys in his care at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, between 2009 and 2013.
But he went undetected to help children with Aids in Swaziland in 2012.
Cambridgeshire Police has been told about the trip, but said it had "no evidence to suggest he had offended".
Ten days after his return, he abused two boys in a single day.
In total, Bradbury, 41, from Herringswell, Suffolk, pleaded guilty at Cambridge Crown Court to 25 offences, including sexual assault and possessing more than 16,000 indecent images.
The UK's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) were told by Canadian police about Bradbury buying suspect movies online in July 2012, but local officers were not told until November 2013.
In November 2012, the paediatrician and 15 other members of the KingsGate Christian evangelical church in Peterborough boarded a plane headed for Bulembu.
The 12-day church mission - part of the Bulembu Community Development Project - was to help more than 300 children whose parents died from Aids in the former asbestos mining town.
Swaziland struggles to care for an estimated 120,000 children who have been orphaned and has the highest rate of HIV in the world.
While there, the team helped to build homes, paths and playgrounds and assisted with medical concerns.
Two sources on the mission have told the BBC that Bradbury spent time alone with children at the orphanage.
"Normally, the orphanage won't allow visitors to be with the children, but because they are from the church they had special permission," one source said.
"Everyone had been CRB checked in the UK."
They said volunteers would spend time as a group with the children in the mornings, playing activities such as football. Each volunteer would then be left alone with up to six children in the afternoons for "two to three hours".
They said the doctor also spent half his time at a medical centre.
Another source said they saw Bradbury repeatedly left alone with a group of boys aged 11 to 16.
"We were all left with children," they said.
"In the morning we all had our jobs - Myles would go off to the surgery. I don't know if he was supervised. A senior paediatrician. The doctor would have been over the moon to have someone like Myles helping out."
While there is no evidence to suggest Bradbury abused children at the orphanage, UK police said Bradbury was highly manipulative in his abuse at Addenbrooke's Hospital.
At the Cambridge site, he filmed a patient using a spy pen and carried out abuse behind a hospital curtain, just feet away from unsuspecting parents.
1996: Graduated with an MB ChB degree from the University of Birmingham in 1996
2004 to 2008: Temporarily employed as a registrar between 2004 and 2007 at Birmingham Children's Hospital and then as a consultant
November 2008: Began working at Addenbrooke's Hospital. Was the clinical trials lead for paediatric haematology and oncology. Also held clinics four times a year at hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich between 2008 and 2013
July 2012: Ceop alerted to Bradbury buying suspect videos off the internet
November 2012: Went on a 12-day trip to an orphanage in Swaziland
27 November 2013: Ceop information shared with Suffolk Police - the same day the first complaint about Bradbury's behaviour was reported to Addenbrooke's. He was immediately suspended from the hospital
18 December 2013: Police arrest Bradbury
15 September 2014: Bradbury admits abusing patients
18 September 2014: The National Crime Agency, which took over CEOP, refers its handling of information about Bradbury and other potential paedophiles to the Independent Police Complaints Commission
Detectives also found a disc containing more than 16,000 images of children downloaded from the internet. Police say they will never know how many children Bradbury attacked because he threw away his laptop hard drive.
The hospital, which has described its shock at discovering his abuse of patients, said Bradbury booked annual leave in November 2012, but did not know he used it to travel to Africa.
Bradbury was one of 2,345 UK suspects identified in Project Spade, which was run by police in Toronto.
In July 2012 the information was passed to Ceop, but the UK body deemed it "low risk" and it was not disseminated to Suffolk Police until 27 November 2013. Coincidentally, it was the same day Addenbrooke's Hospital received its first complaint.
During the delay Bradbury abused eight more boys at Addenbrooke's Hospital. The National Crime Agency (NCA), which runs Ceop, has referred its conduct to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
KingsGate Church had not told police about the orphanage trip, but after the BBC contacted them to request an interview it informed officers.
A statement said: "We are shocked and deeply saddened at the actions of Dr Myles Bradbury and at the devastating impact that these have had on the lives of many.
"Dr Bradbury attended Sunday services at KingsGate Community Church, Cambridge, for around six months from 2012-13 but had no involvement in children's work at the church.
"As soon as the charges against Dr Bradbury were revealed in early July 2014, we promptly contacted Bulembu. Bulembu then instituted a detailed investigation to make sure that he had not had any one-to-one contact with children during that time.
"They found no evidence that he had any unsupervised involvement with children and was always accompanied by community development project staff."
The Bulembu Ministries that run the orphanage said after checking Bradbury's volunteer work schedule, accommodation arrangements, who he interacted with and where he spent time in the clinic, "no untoward or inappropriate behaviour was noted".
It said it was working with the Swaziland authorities to "further the investigation".
Cambridgeshire Police said it heard about the trip from another source earlier this year, but added it had since spoken to the KingsGate church.
A spokesman said: "From this information, we had no suspicions that he had posed a risk to children whilst on the trip.
"The focus of the investigation was based on evidence and we had no evidence to suggest he had offended abroad."
Bradbury's two-day sentencing hearing will begin on Friday. He has been told to expect a long sentence.
Police launched a murder inquiry after the body of 40-year-old Malcolm McLaren was discovered at his flat in the town's Clark Street, at about 10:25, on Thursday 29 September.
Officers stopped and interviewed people in Clark Street on Wednesday in a bid to generate leads.
The 45-year-old is expected to appear at Airdrie Sheriff Court on Monday.
The 24-year-old has 55 goals in 93 La Liga games since joining from Santos for a reported fee of £48.6m in 2013.
Manchester United and Paris St-Germain were linked with the Brazil forward, whose current deal ends in 2018.
Barca president Josep Bartomeu said: "In the next few days we will finalise an extension." Neymar added: "Very happy to continue living this dream!"
Neymar has also scored 46 goals in 70 appearances for his country.
While at the Spanish club, he has secured two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies and the 2014-15 Champions League.
Barcelona were forced to pay a £4.3m fine in June because of mistakes in Neymar's transfer from Santos in 2013.
Adele Uden, 26, from Mansfield, has suffered from heavy bleeding since her son's birth by emergency Caesarean seven years ago.
The marks appeared on her face about 12 months ago but doctors remain baffled.
Her mother Karen said her daughter's health had worsened and she has had to have several blood transfusions.
Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire
Ms Uden said she began suffering pains not long after she had the emergency Caesarean.
She has been diagnosed with endometriosis, polycystic ovaries and pelvic inflammatory disease but none of these explain the severity of her bleeding or the purple patches on her face.
"As far as we're aware, I'm the only one like this that we have found... I need help, I need to be able to find reasons as to why I'm like this," she said.
Despite Ms Uden being seen by specialists and haematologists, the bleeding and facial marks remain a mystery.
The marks on her face do not hurt but she hates leaving the house because of the "way people look at her".
Ms Uden's mother Karen said her daughter - who takes about 250 tablets a week - is "constantly bleeding".
She was rushed to hospital last week, leaving a trail of blood out of her house and dipping "in and out of consciousness".
"It's very serious... if she doesn't get to hospital on time she could bleed out," Mrs Uden said. "We need some answers because at the moment we're shooting in the dark.
"We've nearly lost her. [Adele] has said her goodbyes a number of times."
Faced with conditions so helpful to the pace bowlers, an inexperienced and underprepared Sri Lanka team were always going to be outplayed, although perhaps not to the tune of an innings-and-88-run defeat, the 13th-fastest in terms of balls bowled in the history of Test cricket.
Naturally, it is great for the home side that England won, but the nature of that victory does raise some serious questions about the scheduling and venues of these early season matches.
I don't understand why Sri Lanka have been sent to Leeds and Durham for these opening two Tests.
You could say that the cold, grey conditions quite likely in the north of England at this part of the year give the hosts their best chance of winning - but there's much more to it than that.
While you certainly do not want to give the opposition a leg-up, you have to do what's best for Test cricket. That includes providing the best possible spectacle, ensuring the match is a contest and giving value for money to those who have tickets.
Sri Lanka being shot out for 91 and 119 before the close on day three does none of those things and is no help to people who wanted to see cricket on days four and five or those who want to maximise income from these international matches.
There are questions hanging over these May Test matches, not least because their continued existence prevents England players from going to the Indian Premier League.
Next year, they won't be held at this time because of the Champions Trophy but, after that, should we look at where these matches are played?
This year, Lord's was not available for the first two Tests (it will stage the third) because of work being done to the Warner Stand, while the other ground in London, The Oval, usually stages the final match of the summer.
Could Surrey and The Oval volunteer to do something that is best for the game and take on one of the early summer matches? I doubt that will happen.
This all means that England have found few answers to the questions I posed before the Test began.
The middle-order batsmen spent next to no time at the crease, while Moeen Ali was only required to bowl one over of his off spin.
We did learn that James Anderson, below his best on the winter tour of South Africa, has his legs back and looks to be at his peak.
Speaking to me after the match, Anderson admitted that he struggled in South Africa, but he has benefitted so much from playing three County Championship matches for Lancashire. When it comes to exploiting the sort of conditions we saw at Headingley, Anderson is peerless.
Before the match I said I was surprised that England had stuck with Alex Hales, but he battled hard for a patient 86 that saw the home side through a tough spell on the opening day.
It was an admirable innings and he will be furious to be caught on the boundary just short of a maiden Test century.
That is the way in which he plays. The chance to be caught in the second-slip area may still remain but, in friendlier conditions, Hales could well take some attacks apart.
As for Jonny Bairstow, he confirmed that he is the real deal as England's wicketkeeper-batsman.
Captain Alastair Cook was right when he said that Bairstow's 140 made batting look different to the other 21 players in the match and, added to nine catches, the Yorkshireman was named man of the match.
However, with some scrutiny still on his wicketkeeping, Bairstow will be cross that he did drop a catch, one that denied him the chance to join AB de Villiers as the only man to score a century and take 10 victims in a match.
Still, the joyful, ebullient Bairstow is full of confidence at the moment and I think we'll see even better things from him.
Apart from that, England are no further on from where they were on Thursday morning.
For that reason, it might be best for this team if we have some un-English conditions for the rest of the summer. Grey sky and the ball whizzing about might help England in beating Sri Lanka and Pakistan, but it will do little to set them up for their winter tours.
Instead a long, hot summer with dry pitches would bring the spinners in to play and get the batsmen more used to long, patient innings against slower bowling.
If not, England could well find themselves ill-prepared for the seven Tests that await in Bangladesh and India.
On Friday, Birmingham City Council revealed the key findings of its inquiry, led by Sir Ian Kershaw.
In it, Sir Ian criticised the often "improper" conduct of governors at some schools.
MP Khalid Mahmood said at least 12 senior school staff had been bullied or forced out of their posts.
The Labour MP for Perry Barr said: "This whole saga has had a huge mental effect on these people, they've had huge psychological issues to deal with.
"These are people who came in to finish their careers in education and most were cut off in their prime and what we want to do is recognise that."
Mr Mahmood said it was up to the teachers to decide if they wanted to take their own legal action.
The local authority inquiry was one of four official investigations into claims some Muslim groups had attempted to take over schools.
They were prompted by an anonymous letter outlining what it called "Operation Trojan Horse".
Birmingham City Council was strongly criticised by Sir Ian for being "slow to respond" to allegations and accused education chiefs in the city of "poor oversight".
Sir Ian stopped short of saying there was a conspiracy.
However, he did find evidence that "five steps" outlined in the original letter as a means of destabilising school leadership were "present in a large number of the schools considered part of the investigation".
Sir Ian's findings seemed to conflict with those of Peter Clarke, parts of whose report for the Department for Education, were leaked to the Guardian newspaper on Friday.
Jeff Astle, who played for West Bromwich Albion during the 1960s and 1970s, died 10 years ago.
A coroner ruled that the 59-year-old had suffered brain damage caused by heading heavy leather footballs.
The FA said "conflicting opinions" remained on the possible effects of heading a football over time.
Laraine Astle, from Netherseal, in Derbyshire, said: "I don't think they [the Football Association] want to hold their hands up and own up [that] the game that we loved proved to be a killer.
"[Jeff] died because he was a prolific header of the ball, no one has come near since. He scored more than half of his goals with his head.
"Most of the time it was with the big heavy leather balls that when wet, gained water and were three and a half times heavier. In bad weather it used to freeze solid."
Mrs Astle said she and her three daughters had been unsuccessful in their bid to win compensation from the FA, despite the coroner's report.
An FA spokesperson said: "There remain conflicting opinions on the possible effects of frequent heading of a football over time.
"There are now standards set out in the laws of the game for the size, weight and pressure of footballs and we will continue to liaise with FIFA on this and other medical issues.
"[Jeff Astle] was a fine footballer and many fans, particularly those of West Bromwich Albion, will remember the great service he gave throughout his career, both to club and country."
Jeff Astle started his career at Notts County before moving to West Bromwich Albion in 1964.
He scored 137 goals in 292 league appearances for West Brom where he is recognised as one of the club's greatest players.
Mr Astle won his first England international call-up in 1969 and was picked for the 1970 World Cup squad in Mexico.
He will also be remembered for his guest appearances on Frank Skinner and David Baddiel's Fantasy Football League TV programme in the 1990s.
The five work for Express Motors in Penygroes, which took over some routes from Padarn Bus after its voluntary liquidation in May.
It comes after several people were arrested following an investigation into alleged fraud at Padarn Bus.
There is no suggestion the two investigations are linked.
North Wales Police confirmed the four men and one woman from Gwynedd and Anglesey have been granted bail in the latest investigation.
A Gwynedd council spokesman said: "We are monitoring the situation closely at present and preparing contingency plans that could be put in place if problems arise that could have a sudden impact upon the provision of public transport.
"As this matter is currently being investigated by the police, it would not be appropriate for the council to comment further."
Padarn Bus provided routes across north Gwynedd, Bangor and Caernarfon, and also several services on Anglesey prior to its liquidation, which meant 84 people lost their jobs.
Former West Ham boss Zola, 45, is expected to take charge later this week following the departure of Sean Dyche.
Meanwhile the Pozzo family say they are not expecting a "financial return" from owning the club.
"Rather we see it as a privilege to be involved with Watford," a statement on the club's website read.
It added: "Our aim is clear: we wish to establish Watford as a Premier League club, which has revenue to help it become self-sufficient over time.
This is not just another club; this is Watford
"There are no promises of timescale; only that it is our stated ambition to be in the Premier League so that everyone connected with Watford, all of us, can enjoy a successful and sustainable future.
"Longevity to us is key to success. It is only over many years that success can be judged."
The Pozzos also own Italian Serie A club Udinese and Spanish La Liga side Granada and say Watford will be run along similar "tried and tested" lines.
"Both clubs have enjoyed success and are sustainable businesses," the message continued.
They plan to use what they describe as their "world-class scouting network" to bring new talent to the club, but insisted that it would not harm Watford's distinctive identity.
"This is not just another club; this is Watford and we recognize just how important the individual nature of a football club is to its supporters. No more so than in England, in fact.
"We're very passionate about football, and the English style reflects the true spirit of the game."
Former West Ham chief executive Scott Duxbury is also likely to accept a role within the new regime at Vicarage Road, having been involved in helping the Pozzos buy the club from Lawrence Bassini.
"The opportunity, presented to us by Scott Duxbury and Gianluca Nani in relation to Watford, contained ideals within a vision that was very much close to our own thinking.
"This is why we are here at Watford," the family added.

Hibs had the better of the early chances but Jordan White volleyed in the opener for the visitors.
After Anthony Stokes missed from three yards, he grabbed his sixth goal in Hibs colours this season with a low drive.
Then Martin Boyle thumped a 30-yard screamer into the top corner.
The win allows Hibernian to reduce the gap on second placed Falkirk while Livingston remain in the relegation play-off spot at the bottom.
Hibernian were playing their first home league match since the 3-0 defeat to Morton in late February and the players looked intent in getting back to winning ways with intense early pressure.
John McGinn went on a mazy run and found his way into the 18-yard box, but his shot was brilliantly tipped wide of goal by goalkeeper Marc McCallum.
Jason Cummings was next to try his luck on goal but his shot was just over the crossbar.
The visitors slowly eased their way into the game and shocked the home support when they took the lead midway through the first half.
Osman Kakay, on loan from Queens Park Rangers, had a close range effort blocked by Paul Hanlon, but the rebound fell straight to striker White who sent a stunning volley into the top left hand corner of Mark Oxleys goal.
The 167 away fans that were inside Easter Road were quick to show their team how much they valued the strike.
The goal also led to a chorus of boos ringing around Easter Road as the home fans began to show their frustrations on their teams performance.
Captain David Gray fired just wide when he should have at least tested the keeper, then Liam Henderson and Stokes combined with a set-piece from the training ground, but the on loan Celtic strikers effort was straight at McCallum in the Livi goal.
Another blow came for the home side when El Alagui had to be replaced after suffering a hamstring injury with Jason Keatings his replacement, but Alan Stubbs half-time team talk looked to have ruffled the feathers of his players as the came out of the traps quickly after the break.
They forced four corners in the opening four minutes and it took a goal line clearance from Ben Gordon to deny Stokes an equaliser.
Then an amazing escape for the visitors as Hibs began to pile on the pressure.
Substitute Boyle was only on the pitch for a few minutes when he used his electric pace to take the ball to the bye-line. His cross was met by Stokes on the angle but his glancing effort crept agonisingly along the goal line and was cleared away.
The hosts eventually made the breakthrough when Stokes latched onto a flick by Cummings on the edge of the box and turned before hitting a right foot drive beyond the goalkeeper.
Then Easter Road came to life with with a contender for goal of the season.
The ball fell tantalisingly to Boyle fully 30 yards out and he thundered a shot that was still rising as it hit the roof of the net.
Cummings then had an opportunity to wrap up all three points when sent clear by Keatings, but his effort was straight at McCallum who was able to parry the ball clear.
Hanlon also came close with a header that drifted just wide of goal but the home side were able to see out the game with ease. | Scientists have completely reversed hair loss in three people by giving them a drug normally used to treat bone marrow disorders.

This upbringing created an "invincible determination" which saw him spend 50 years providing healthcare and education for Chinese peasants living in similar poverty.
The "enormous legacy" he left behind in the far east includes hospitals, churches and schools - many of which are now major research centres serving millions of people.
To mark 150 years since he founded Union Hospital in Wuhan, a committee was formed to help send an exhibition on his life to the city.
About £20,000 is needed and more than 400 people recently attended a Chinese New Year fundraiser at the Brangwyn Hall in Swansea.
About half the figure was raised and the plan is to ship the exhibits to China in September ahead of the anniversary in October.
He was described as simply "a remarkable man" by retired university lecturer and chairman of the Griffith John Committee, Dr Vernon Williams.
The Swansea where Mr John was born in 1831 was experiencing rapid industrial growth, with disease spread by the River Tawe leading to frequent outbreaks of typhoid, scarlet fever and cholera.
These claimed the lives of his mother when he was eight months and his father when he was 17.
At the time, 15 people would live in two-room houses and with no schools, Mr John would have been expected to follow his father to work in the copper industry.
Religion, though, played a major role and he learnt to read his native Welsh by studying religious scriptures at Ebenezer Congregational Chapel.
Mr John became known as "the boy preacher" as he gave readings around the Neath and Swansea valleys as a teenager.
But it was after he gained a place at Brecon Memorial College in 1850 that perhaps his path towards China was set.
While there, he heard an address by a missionary who had been to Madagascar, which left him determined to enter the field.
He headed to Shanghai with his wife Margaret in 1855, where he spent four years preaching after learning the language in six months.
"Griffith John was brought up in a greatly over-crowded, impoverished borough, where illness and disease, particularly cholera, and squalor were rampant," said Dr Williams.
"This most definitely, as a Christian minister, would have had a profound effect on him and seeing that again, in then the poorest part of China, seems to have motivated him into action."
After moving up the Yangtze River, Mr John set up his base in Hankow (now Wuhan).
"He was a great visionary not only in his mission work but also in providing schools and hospitals when there were very few, if any, in Swansea at that time," he added.
Conditions were tough, but Dr Williams described Mr John as "short and stockily built, possessing a single-mindedness, great courage and invincible determination".
This allowed him to survive extremely hot summers and intense humidity that claimed the lives of his first wife Margaret (in 1873) and second wife Jeanette (in 1885).
By 1900, Mr John had helped set up a number of boys and girls schools and a teacher training college, meaning education in the area was thought to be 30 years ahead of the rest of China.
He also built about 10 hospitals, preached daily and distributed more than six million of his religious translations.
But after a number of strokes, he died "a frail and burned-out man" in London in 1912, when his body was returned home.
"Griffith John was extremely well know in his day in Swansea with over 2,000 people attending his funeral.
"In the 1960s, a block of flats was erected in Greenhill in the location where he was born and these and the adjacent street were named after him.
"However, as is common place with time, memories fade somewhat," Dr Williams added.
While he described Mr John as "one of the great sons of Swansea who left an enormous legacy in central China", he slipped out of the wider public consciousness.
But an exhibition on his life went on display at Swansea Museum in 2012 followed by a blue plaque on Ebenezer church.
The Griffith John Committee his since been set up and fundraising will continue over the coming months to send the exhibits to China.
With the country's influence on the Welsh economy set to grow, Cllr Robert Francis-Davies said Swansea wanted to strengthen "a cultural link that goes back to the 1850s".
Local businessman Chris Foxall is another driving force and said Mr John's "tireless work" means the city has a "special relationship" with the Asian country.
The court decided in favour of entertainment company Marvel in its legal battle with the inventor of a web-shooting toy, Stephen Kimble, over royalty payments for expired patents.
"With great power there must also come - great responsibility," wrote Justice Elena Kagan, referencing a famous line from the comics.
The case was decided in a 6-3 ruling.
At issue was whether Marvel should have continued paying royalties to the toy's inventor after a patent on the toy expired in 2010.
Mr Kimble sold a patent on the toy to the entertainment company in 2001, with an agreement that he would receive royalty payments.
Once the patent expired, Marvel stopped payments, citing the high court's ruling in the 1964 case known as Brulotte v Thys Co.
Mr Kimble had argued that the court should over rule its previous decision which said royalties generally shouldn't be paid after patents expire.
Justice Kagan acknowledged that the court can overturn its own precedents, but said the justices "should exercise that authority sparingly".
"The parties set no end date for royalties, apparently contemplating that they would continue for as long as kids want to imitate Spider-Man (by doing whatever a spider can)," Justice Kagan said.
The quote is an apparent reference to the theme song from the 1967 Spider-Man television programme that features the lyric: "Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can".
Mr Kimble has earned more than $6m (£3,789,409) in royalty fees for the toy from Marvel.
A few days shy of his 93rd birthday, Harry Nunn is still hard at work with horses.
A volunteer at the Brae Riding for the Disabled Centre in Dundee, Harry has been around the animals his entire life.
And 50 years ago, he played an important role in one of the biggest events of the 20th century - the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill, Britain's wartime leader and one of history's great statesmen.
Churchill of course has his own Dundee links - before his two stints as Prime Minister, he was the MP for the city for 14 years.
His state funeral was a grand occasion, attended by world leaders and broadcast on television, and massive crowds packed the streets of London to see the procession pass by.
Yards behind the gun-carriage which bore Churchill's lead-lined and flag-draped coffin, his widow and family rode in a horse-drawn carriage - driven by Harry Nunn.
"At the time it didn't even seem like you were doing it, but you could see the cortege in front of you the whole time," he said.
"What amazed me was, I'd never seen so many people. Right from when we came out of the House of Lords, right along Whitehall and all the way up, it was chock-a-block.
"And when you left St Paul's to go down to the boat, there were just as many people - you wondered where they'd all come from."
Mr Nunn was a groom at the Royal Mews, a member of the Royal household who looked after the Queen's horses and carriages.
Having served in the Army during World War Two, he briefly came face-to-face with Churchill a few weeks before the D-Day landings.
But he was chosen for one of the most important jobs at the funeral simply because of his familiarity with the horse chosen to draw the Churchills' carriage.
"I'd had the horse when he was young, so they thought I should go with him as it was his first trip out in public," he said.
"If anything went wrong he might understand things better if I was with him. That's how it all started."
And things did nearly go wrong, with the horse uneasy with the funereal pace of the solemn procession.
"The young horse did well - he got a bit frustrated with going so slow, as they were hardly walking, it was at crawling pace. A young horse, he wanted to go," said Mr Nunn.
"When you get a big horse, they stride out well, so I got down and walked beside him for a little while, and gave him a tap to say 'behave'.
"It must have been hard for him, it was his first time out and there were all these crowds standing there."
After the funeral, Mr Nunn and the other grooms received a letter of thanks from Lady Churchill, which was pinned up on a notice board at the Royal Mews.
And although the letter eventually disappeared - Mr Nunn suspects it was binned by a fellow groom keen on keeping the place tidy - he still looks back with pride at the part he played that day in 1965.
"I was honoured and pleased that I'd done it, as it's something you don't get to do twice in a lifetime," he said.
"It was great to be asked to do it."
He was speaking after a ceremony in Kharkiv as another five coffins with remains were flown to the Netherlands.
The Boeing 777 Malaysian Airlines was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it crashed in territory held by pro-Russian rebels.
The majority of the victims - 193 - were Dutch.
Both rebels and their supporters in Russia have denied shooting the aircraft down.
Investigators have struggled to gain access to the site as clashes continue nearby between Ukrainian government forces and the separatists.
Mr Koenders said experts had already come "a long way" with the identification process and would do everything they could to find more remains.
"We cannot say at this moment in any certain way... at what moment and even if we can recover the last nine, but we will do everything we can in co-operation with authorities here to make that happen," he said, quoted by AFP news agency.
He added that investigators still hoped to recover more remnants of the plane, but it was unclear when this would happen because of uncertainties about the security situation.
Initial investigations at the site were suspended in August because of heavy fighting in the area.
They resumed in September after a ceasefire deal was signed, with experts making four visits to the site.
A report issued in September by Dutch investigators found MH17 was hit by multiple "high-energy" objects.
The report did not apportion blame but it is believed to have been hit by a surface-to-air missile fired from an area controlled by pro-Russian rebels.
Russian officials have denied the allegations and instead suggested Ukrainian fighter jets were culpable.
And the independent think tank's director, Paul Johnson, said further rises were needed, calling Wednesday's announcement "baby steps".
Philip Hammond's move has been heavily criticised, but Mr Johnson said the current system needed reform.
"It distorts decisions, creates complexity and is unfair," he said.
"A tax system which charges thousands of pounds more in tax for employees doing the same job as someone else needs reform," he added.
The NI rise will see millions of self-employed workers pay an average of £240 a year more, but ministers say those earning £16,250 or less will see their NI contributions fall.
The IFS traditionally dissects the government's tax and spending plans the day after the Budget, and its verdict is seen as one of the most authoritative comments.
Mr Johnson said: "These [NI changes] feel like like baby steps in the right direction.
"But they are sticking plasters not the fundamental look at the tax base as well as tax rates that is required."
He added that as more workers became self-employed and "incorporated" by starting up their own companies, it would reduce tax revenues for the government.
"[The Chancellor] has put a bung in the dyke as the water floods through. Ten years down the road the move to self employment and incorporation will create a serious erosion of the tax base.
"If he were to do a U-turn and give up on reform, I would be seriously worried," he said.
Mr Johnson added that the old National Insurance system also distorted the labour market, adding that there were huge incentives for companies to claim that people who work for them were self employed, rather than employees.
But Mr Hammond is facing a backlash against the Budget announcement, which breaks a 2015 manifesto pledge on tax rises.
Some Conservative MPs openly criticised Wednesday's announcement.
Stephen McPartland, MP, described the measure as "unacceptable", saying it sent out the wrong message to ordinary working families. He appealed to the chancellor to make a "U-turn" quickly before a manifesto promise was broken.
Former leader Iain Duncan-Smith said the move should be kept "under review".

Tax-free dividend allowance slashed
National Insurance rise due to 'new challenges'
And Labour's shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, said his party could even join forces with rebel Conservatives who say the increase does little to encourage enterprise and risk-taking.
The IFS said the chancellor's 2% increase in NICs for the self employed closed a small fraction of the gap between employees and the self employed.
It said the maximum loss, affecting those with profits over £45,000, would be £589 per year and that the tax advantage to being self employed would still run into thousands of pounds.
The IFS was less happy about a Budget announcement that the £5,000 tax free dividend allowance, which was introduced less than a year ago, would be cut to £2,000.
That will mean a basic rate tax payer who receives more than £5,000 in dividends will have to pay an extra £225 tax. A higher rate tax payer will pay £975.
Many small traders and individuals set up businesses by forming a company and paying themselves through dividends as well as a salary.
The announcement comes less than a year after the last Chancellor George Osborne introduced the £5,000 tax free dividend allowance.
Mr Johnson said that to change this so quickly does not look like "coherent policy making".
He said it was never sensible to pledge no change to taxes: "These were silly pledges. To commit yourself to not raising the three main taxes - income tax, NI and VAT - ties your hands to an absurd extent. No party should repeat these sorts of promises."
The brewing giant said the move would create about 150 jobs in its leased pubs division north of the border.
A total of £2.8m will be invested in "transformational projects" at 17 of Heineken's 109 Scottish pubs.
More than a third of the overall investment will go towards community "locals", where food and coffee will be introduced.
The company said it was spending twice as much on its Scottish estate than last year.
Star Pubs and Bars managing director Lawson Mountstevens said: "We regularly read about pubs closing down, but what people don't always appreciate is that well-run, invested pubs are thriving.
"Heineken is passionate about creating great pubs and supporting the licensees that run them."
He added: "Our investment is creating pubs that people want and use, enhancing local communities and benefiting local economies."
Earlier this year, Heineken was criticised by the Scottish Licensed Trade Association (SLTA) over its bid to acquire part of Punch Taverns' pubs portfolio.
The SLTA alleged that Heineken was not committed to supporting smaller, community-based pubs.
Mr Mountstevens responded then by saying that the company had invested millions of pounds in its Scottish pubs over the past three years.
He said that had helped licensees to significantly improve their food offer, with new kitchens and flexible areas within pubs to cater for a wider range of events.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating the proposed deal, and is due to make an initial decision next month.
The body of Daniel Smith, 23, was discovered by firefighters under a railway bridge in Irwell Street at about 01:20 GMT on Wednesday.
Mr Smith, who was believed to have been sleeping rough for a number of years, had suffered multiple injuries.
Two men aged 24, from Manchester, remain in police custody for questioning.
Rashford, 18, who is in the 26-man provisional squad for Euro 2016, will play in the warm-up against Australia at the Stadium of Light on Friday.
Barnes - who was 19 when he won the first of 79 England caps in 1983 - also warned of the dangers of putting too much pressure on young players.
"You have to be very careful," he said.
"If young players don't perform we're too quick to write them off."
But the 52-year-old believes Rashford can replicate the form of his breakthrough season at Old Trafford, during which he scored eight goals following his February debut.
"If he plays, he should play with no fear, no pressure," Barnes told BBC Radio 5 live. "He's under no pressure whatsoever. I think he'll do OK because he's handled the Manchester United situation fine."
With fellow striker Daniel Sturridge recovering from a calf injury, Rashford is a likely starter against Australia, in England's second of three warm-up games leading up to Euro 2016 in France.
England manager Roy Hodgson said the youngster would play "a serious part in the game".
He will cut his 26-man squad by three over the weekend, before the 31 May deadline for 23-man squads for Euro 2016 to be submitted.
Researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research say this may explain why some cancers return, many years after they appear to have been cured.
They analysed a patient whose leukaemia returned after 20 years in remission.
The findings may help scientists to root out these dormant cancer cells, wake them up and kill them.
The study, published in the journal Leukemia, found that the cancer cells which 'woke up' in the patient after a period of two decades were similar to a group of cancer cells that pre-dated the original bout of the disease.
Blood and bone marrow samples were taken from the patient when he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia at four years old and compared to samples taken when he relapsed aged 25.
Researchers identified a specific DNA mutation in cancer cells from both blood samples, in which two genes called BCR and ABL1 fuse together.
They said this showed a common link between the original and the relapsing leukaemia.
But they also found many new genetic changes had occurred in the cancer cells when the patient relapsed.
This implies that cancer cells had become dormant, resisted chemotherapy and then 'woke up' after many years of rest.
The cells may have survived because they were growing much more slowly than other cancer cells - and chemotherapy attacks rapidly dividing cells.
Study leader Professor Mel Greaves, director of the Centre for Evolution and Cancer at The Institute of Cancer Research in London, said the research showed that cancer cells are cunning.
"It provides striking evidence of cancer evolution in action, with cancer cells able to lie dormant to avoid treatment, and then to accumulate new mutations capable of driving a new bout of disease.
"Blood stem cells regularly fluctuate between being dormant or 'asleep' and dividing very quickly, so it seems cancer cells are just borrowing this trick to avoid being killed by chemotherapy."
Prof Greaves added: "In future it might be possible to speed up the growth of these pre-cancerous dormant cells so that they can be targeted and killed using chemotherapy, to reduce the risk of relapse even further."
Dr Matt Kaiser, head of research at Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, said there were still too many children whose cancer returns.
"If we can build up a picture of what causes rare cases of late relapse and how we can detect and prevent it, we may be able to deliver more true cures for this terrible disease."
Andrew McLeod faces two charges allegedly committed on 31 March at Friarfield House in Dundee's Barrack Street.
Friarfield House is the home of Dundee City Council's criminal justice social work team.
Mr McLeod, 38, of Ward Road, appeared in private at Dundee Sheriff Court.
He is charged with taking or making indecent photographs of children and of possessing indecent photographs of children.
He made no plea or declaration and was fully committed for trial.
Mr McLeod was remanded in custody ahead of further court dates being set.
Isabella Jackson is also accused of claiming there were bombs planted at two US embassies and sparking a bomb scare at Harrods in London.
Some of the email threats allegedly made by the pensioner, from Buckhaven, Fife, were investigated by GCHQ intelligence analysts.
Sheriff Jamie Gilchrist QC set a trial date in December.
Ms Jackson faces a total of five charges of threatening and abusive behaviour under the Communications Act.
She is alleged to have made death threats against Mrs May - then the Home Secretary - in November 2014.
The charge states that on 24 November 2014 she behaved in a threatening and abusive manner likely to cause fear or alarm at her home or at the Palace of Westminster, and threatened to kill the politician.
A second charge alleges that on the same day at her home or at the GCHQ in Cheltenham she threatened to kill Mrs May.
Ms Jackson is further alleged to have sent communications by email to the US embassies in London and Paris with the intent of inducing the false belief that bombs were present at the embassies.
Those offences are said to have happened between 13 December 2014 and 7 January 2015 at her home and GCHQ.
A fourth charge alleges she sent a message to Fife Council between 30 August and 10 September 2015 stating that a Susan Johnston had died, causing her annoyance, inconvenience and needless anxiety.
The fifth and final charge alleges that on 14 September 2015, Ms Jackson communicated by email with the intent of inducing the belief that there was a bomb at Harrods in Knightsbridge, London.
The striker, who joined from Everton over the summer, scored in each half to leave the Millers in no doubt how tough their life will be following relegation from the Championship.
Fleetwood gained control in the 16th minute as McAleny opened his account when he nipped in front of his marker and turned home Bobby Grant's cross.
There should have been a comfortable cushion at the half-time break but Jordy Hiwula hit the post when racing clean through on goal and then Grant blazed over from a good position.
Rotherham started the second half brightly as they tried to force a way back into the game, but McAleny's second goal killed them off.
With their first threat of the half, McAleny cut in from the left and fired a low shot that beat Millers goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell at his near post.

Budweiser owner AB InBev raised its offer for rival SABMiller on Tuesday after a fall in the pound had made its original terms less attractive.
The pound has lost about 12% against the dollar since the UK referendum.
The deal, agreed last year, will create the world's largest beer firm, producing about 30% of the world's beer.
In another important development on Friday, the deal was given the go-ahead by Chinese regulators, a major hurdle to overcome before any deal could go ahead.
AB InBev raised its offer by £1 a share to £45 a share, valuing SABMiller at about £79bn, up from £70bn previously.
SABMiller counts Peroni, Pilsner Urquell, and Grolsch among a stable of brands, while AB InBev also produces Stella Artois, Corona, Leffe and Beck's.
SABMiller chairman Jan du Plessis said: "The board's decision was difficult given changes in circumstances since the board originally recommended £44 per share in cash last November.
"Since then, various factors have affected the value of the offer, most importantly the impact of the Brexit vote on the value of sterling and the re-rating of comparable companies.
"This has made the board's decision more challenging, and we believe the final cash consideration of £45 per share to be at the lower end of the range of values considered recommendable."
The way in which the offer is structured means that investors can receive either cash, or a mixture of cash and shares in the newly-merged company - a partial share agreement (PSA) as it is known.
However, the PSA was designed specifically for SAB's two biggest shareholders Altria and Bevco, who wanted to keep a stake in the new company.
Since last November, when the merger was agreed, the cash offer has become less attractive given the weaker value of the pound.
However, Aberdeen Asset Management, an SABMiller shareholder, has again said that the deal is unacceptable.
On Friday it said that, "as we have already indicated, we intend to vote against the deal as we are uncomfortable with the structure and believe it undervalues the company".
We currently use atomic clocks to count the seconds, but tests on an alternative atomic timekeeper have revealed that it is more precise.
The devices, called optical lattice clocks, lost just one second every 300 million years - making them three times as accurate as current atomic clocks.
Writing in Nature Communications, the team said they offered a better system for defining the second.
Laser show
We once used the Earth's rotation to measure time, where one spin equates to a day.
But because our planet wobbles on its axis as it rotates, some days can be shorter or longer than others.
The atomic clock has proved to be a far more accurate method of keeping the world on time and since the 1960s has been used to define a second in the International System of Units (SI units).
But now scientists say the optical lattice clock could improve the precision.
Just as a grandfather clock uses the swing of a pendulum to measure intervals of time, an atomic clock uses the very regular "vibrations" of atoms.
Our current systems, called caesium fountains, expose clouds of caesium atoms to microwaves to get them to oscillate. But the new ones use light to excite strontium atoms.
Dr Jerome Lodewyck, from the Paris Observatory, said: "In our clocks we use laser beams. Laser beams oscillate much faster than microwave radiation, and in a sense we divide time in much shorter intervals so we can measure time more precisely."
The optical clocks are three times as accurate as caesium fountains, which are accurate to one second every 100 million years.
As well as comparing the optical lattice clocks with our current atomic timekeepers, the researchers compared two optical clocks with each other. They found that they kept time in agreement, and were also very stable.
"For instance, if you have your wristwatch, and one day you are one second late, and one day one second early, then your clock is not stable. But it could still have good accuracy if over a million days the time is correct," Dr Lodewyck explained.
It is important to measure both accuracy and stability, he added.
Many technologies such as telecommunications, satellite navigation and the stock markets rely on ever-better time measurements. The researchers said the new clocks could one day help to redefine the second.
Another clock is also undergoing development - an ion clock. This clock loses just one second every few billion years, but because it relies on a single ion, it is not yet deemed to be stable enough for widespread use.
The solar thermal plant at Ouarzazate will harness the Sun's warmth to melt salt, which will hold its heat to power a steam turbine in the evening.
The first phase will generate for three hours after dark; the last stage aims to supply power 20 hours a day.
It is part of Morocco's pledge to get 42% of its electricity generation from renewables by 2020.
The UN has praised Morocco for the level of its ambition. The UK, a much richer country, is aiming for 30% by the same date.
The Saudi-built Ouarzazate solar thermal plant will be one of the world's biggest when it is complete. The mirrors will cover the same area as the country's capital, Rabat.
Paddy Padmanathan of Saudi-owned ACWA Power, which is running the thermal project, said: "Whether you are an engineer or not, any passer-by is simply stunned by it.
"You have 35 soccer fields of huge parabolic mirrors pointed to the sky which are moveable so they will track the Sun throughout the day."
The developers say phase one of the futuristic complex will bring energy to a million people.
The complex stands on the edge of a gritty, flat, rust-red desert, with the snow-clad Atlas mountains towering to the North.
It is part of a vision from Morocco's King Mohammed VI to turn his country into a renewable energy powerhouse.
The country has been 98% dependent on imported fossil fuels, but the king was persuaded of the vast capacity of Atlantic wind, mountain hydro power and scorching Saharan sun.
The king's plans are being enacted by environment minister Hakima el Haite.
She told me: "We are convinced that climate change is an opportunity for our country."
As part of its national commitment to the Paris climate conference, Morocco has pledged to decrease CO2 emissions 32% below business-as-usual by 2030, conditional on aid to reach the renewables target.
Currently Morocco imports electricity from Spain, but engineers hope that will not last long.
Paddy Padmanathan predicted: "If Morocco is able to generate electricity at seven, eight cents per kilowatt - very possible - it will have thousands of megawatts excess.
"It's obvious this country should be able to export into Europe and it will. And it will not need to do anything at all… it needs to do is just sit there because Europe will start to need it."
Morocco's previously useless slice of the Sahara is proving a blessing for solar power. Solar thermal technology only works in hot sunny countries. The price is falling, and its growing capacity to store energy is arousing interest.
The cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels is falling much faster but the International Energy Agency expects them both to play a part in an energy revolution which is likely to see solar as the dominant source of electricity globally by 2050.
Everywhere solar prices are tumbling. Thierry Lepercq, CEO of the Paris-based Solaire Direct, said (controversially) that large-scale ground-mounted solar could already be built without subsidy even in a country like in the UK.
"Solar is a true revolution - that's the way we define it," he said. "The $50 mark (per megawatt hour) is now being crossed and prices are going down.
"The long-term decision-making that is prevalent in the energy world is being disrupted; so you are certainly going to see some coal projects coming to fruition in the next couple of years based on previous decisions but what is certain today is that in all the boards of directors of energy companies, those things are being fundamentally reassessed."
It is, he said, a moment in history.

Reading forward Emma Follis: "We are disappointed again, we've come away wanting more and it's just not good enough.
"We need to take chances, especially if they've gone down to 10. We're just missing that last little thing which is so annoying but we've got to take the positives.
"We've got another point on the board. We're still looking for that win but it's just really disappointing. I feel like we've showed we can compete in WSL 1."
Sunderland striker Beth Mead: "It's nice to come away with a point away from home.
"We've gone down to 10 and our team has showed a lot of character and courage to stay in the game, stay involved and try and make chances still.
"I think we managed the game well after the red card. We frustrated them. We were hoping to get something on the break but unfortunately it didn't happen
"My penalty probably was not the best I've ever taken. I just had to stay composed to get it back over the line and it helped the team to get a point, so that was good."
Scotland's chief statistician has published the latest figures for civil law cases.
A total of 9,700 marriages legally ended in 2012-13, a drop of 14% over the past four years.
The number of civil partnerships which were dissolved quadrupled in the same period, up to 67.
This was a likely reflection of the rising number of people who have entered into civil partnerships since they were introduced in Scotland in 2005.
Other official statistics showed that the number of debt cases raised in Scotland's civil courts had fallen by 45% in the four years following the start of the financial crisis in 2008.
Debt cases accounted for almost half the total number of civil cases brought to court in 2012-13. There were 35,900 cases raised, an 11% drop on the previous year.
Chief statistician Roger Halliday said: "There has been a continuous decline in the number of civil law court cases, a trend driven by the drop in debt cases.
"Despite the decline in debt cases, they still make up nearly half civil law cases in courts, followed by family disputes, eviction cases and personal injury claims."
Repossessions and evictions also fell last year but there was an 11% rise in personal injury cases raised in Scottish courts.
Clubs are required to provide accurate details of training sessions and player whereabouts so that they are available for testing at all times.
The club allegedly failed to ensure that their 'club whereabouts' information was accurate.
City have until 19 January to respond to the charge.
It is understood the information was not updated following a change to training routines.
It had been reported that he would continue to be an executive producer of the show he helped create.
He tweeted on Saturday that he would "devote zero time" to the new series, which will be hosted by actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger.
However, Mr Trump did reaffirm that he has a "big stake" in the show.
Mr Trump fronted the series, which is owned by MGM and aired by NBC, until 2015, when his political career took over.
There have been concerns about a conflict of interest because of The Apprentice's advertising deals and because NBC also runs various news productions.
"I have NOTHING to do with The Apprentice except for fact that I conceived it with Mark B & have a big stake in it. Will devote ZERO TIME!" Mr Trump tweeted, referring to the show's creator, television producer Mark Burnett.
He described the reports that he would be working on the programme during his presidency as "fake news".
Mr Trump will be sworn in as US president on 20 January, 18 days after the new series begins.
Variety magazine, which first reported the story, had claimed he would be paid at least "in the low five-figures" per episode. MGM declined to comment on the financial arrangements.
Some observers have questioned whether the connection could affect the reporting on Mr Trump by NBC's news division.
In June 2015, NBC said it had ended its business relationship with Mr Trump because of "derogatory statements" he made about immigrants during his presidential campaign.
On the links between the president-elect and The Apprentice, the liberal Media Matters blog wrote: "NBC will invite scepticism into how NBC and MSNBC can fairly cover the sitting president when there is a financial incentive to protect his reputation and the ratings of the Celebrity Apprentice.
"Furthermore, Trump and NBC should address the conflict of interest concerns raised by the fact advertisers may help to personally enrich President-elect Donald Trump by purchasing ads during Celebrity Apprentice."
However, the new series was recorded in February, before NBC severed its ties with Mr Trump and before his election.
Mr Trump's supporters have defended the president-elect, comparing his Apprentice credit to royalties received by Barack Obama from his books.
Mr Trump is due to hold a news conference next week outlining how he plans to leave his business "in total in order to fully focus on running the country".
The new series of Celebrity Apprentice features stars including singer Boy George, Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil and Jersey Shore personality Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
Amy Hughes will then be accompanied by Blue Peter presenter Lindsey Russell in the London Marathon, which is 26.2 miles, on 26 April.
Ms Hughes started her challenge on Saturday in her birthplace of Oswestry.
The 27-year-old, who lives in Manchester, is fundraising for cancer charity Isabelle Lottie Foundation.
She said her marathons last year inspired her to "continue fundraising while trying to spread the fitness bug".
Her schedule includes:
Ms Hughes ran more than 1,300 miles last year when she completed 53 marathons during August and September.
Her feat raised more than £53,000 for the Isabelle Lottie Foundation, which supports children diagnosed with brain tumours and their families.
And so it will prove at this summit.
A deal for the UK is within reach, but just one among a number of unresolved issues could delay everything.
Only when the 28 national leaders sit down to negotiate face-to-face will the extent of potential problems become clear.
Anything from proposed restrictions on child benefit payments to the meaning of the term "ever closer union" could provoke lengthy debate - lawyers will be on hand to go through the fine detail.
"It seems rather absurd," said one senior EU diplomat, "that prime ministers and presidents may have to spend hours debating the nature of restrictions on child benefit payments.
"But we are where we are."
The UK will fight back against a demand from Eastern Europe that changes to child benefit rules in the UK should only apply to new applicants.
Other countries are sensitive to the suggestion that changes to benefit payments, designed specifically with the UK in mind, could be adopted by other member states in the future.
In Romania, for example, with about two million citizens living in Italy and Spain, that is a big concern.
Part of the problem is that most countries didn't see a draft of this agreement until a couple of weeks ago.
There is a huge amount to discuss, particularly because it involves so many complex legal issues.
The UK demand for a cast-iron guarantee that the agreement negotiated by David Cameron will eventually be enshrined in the EU treaties is one of many challenging issues.
Is it a red line?
"I would say it is essential," said an EU source.
Financial regulation, the status of the City of London, and the language used to describe the relationship between countries inside and outside the eurozone, could also provoke a few late-night headaches.
All in all, there is plenty that could still go wrong.
But there's also a feeling that further delay won't make it any easier to reach a deal that everyone can live with.
"The intention of [the European Council President] Donald Tusk is very clear," one senior EU official said. "He believes this week is the best time to reach a deal on a new settlement for the UK."
"There is a mood around town," said another source, "that if we can't solve it now we're never going to solve it."
That is partly because the bar has been set relatively low.
It is hard to describe the draft agreement that has emerged as a fundamental renegotiation of the UK's relationship with the rest of the European Union.
Many of the demands David Cameron has raised in speeches and manifestos over the last few years have been watered down.
But there is real change in there, perhaps more than many people thought he could achieve just a few months ago.
And if, as appears most likely, a deal is done this week, the starting gun will soon be fired for a UK referendum campaign, which will define the political future of the prime minister and of his country.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the first lady and Vice-President Boediono were reportedly amongst those targeted.
The allegations came from documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden which were published by broadcaster ABC and the Guardian newspaper.
Indonesia said the ambassador was being called to Jakarta for "consultations".
It is the latest in a series of spying allegations that have strained relations between the two allies.
On 1 November Indonesia summoned Australia's ambassador amid reports that Australia's Jakarta embassy was used as part of a US-led spying network in Asia.
The latest leaked document showed that Australia spy agencies named Mr Yudhoyono, the first lady, Vice-President Boediono and other senior ministers as targets for monitoring, the reports said.
The presentation from Australian spy agency the Defence Signals Directorate (now known as the Australian Signals Directorate) showed that agencies attempted to listen to Mr Yudhoyono's calls at least once, and tracked calls made to and from his mobile phone, in August 2009, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the Guardian added.
The news organisations published slides from the presentation, which appeared to show a list of Indonesian "leadership targets" and the handset models used by each target, as well as a diagram of "voice events" of the Indonesian president in August 2009.
One slide entitled "Indonesian President voice intercept (August '09)" appeared to show an attempt to listen to the content of a phone call to Mr Yudhoyono.
On Monday, Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said: "This is an unfriendly, unbecoming act between strategic partners."
"This hasn't been a good day in the relationship between Indonesia and Australia."
Indonesia was reviewing all of its agreements related to information exchange with Australia, Mr Natalegawa added.
Djoko Suyanto, Indonesia's Co-ordinating Minister for Politics, Legal and Security Affairs, told the BBC that Jakarta would summon the Australian ambassador for questioning.
However, Sofyan Djalil, the former minister for state-owned enterprises whose name was also on the list of targets, told AFP news agency: "Diplomatic relations always have their ups and downs. This has caused anger in the short-term, but in the long-term we are still neighbours and I think we will overcome this."
Earlier on Monday, responding to questions in parliament, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said: "The Australian government never comments on specific intelligence matters."
He added: "I will never say or do anything that might damage the strong relationship and the close co-operation that we have with Indonesia, which is all in all, our most important relationship."
Last week, commenting on the earlier claims, Mr Abbott had described the term spying as "kind of loaded language" and suggested that "researching" would be more appropriate.
Indonesia has publicly voiced anger over previous allegations of Australian spying.
Vice-President Boediono, who like many Indonesians goes by only one name, said last week that the Indonesian public were "concerned" about the spying allegations.
"I think we must look forward to come to some arrangement which guarantees that intelligence information from each side is not used against the other," he said.
Australia and Indonesia are key allies and trading partners.
Australia requires Indonesia's co-operation on the asylum issue, as many asylum seekers travel via Indonesia to Australia by boat, but there are tensions on the issue.
Earlier this month, Indonesia declined an Australian request to receive a boat of asylum seekers whose vessel, bound for Australia's Christmas Island, had got into trouble after it departed from Indonesia.
The reports are amongst the series of documents leaked by ex-US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, who has been granted temporary asylum in Russia and is wanted in the US in connection with the unauthorised disclosures.

The Electoral Office believe that turnout will be up on last year's figure which was 55%. Officials said their staff had been busy in all areas.
Two hundred and twenty-eight candidates are competing for 90 seats across 18 constituencies.
It is the second time the electorate had to choose a government in the space of 10 months.
Notices posted up at the entrance to polling stations at 21:00 GMT varied between a low of 46% in one district of Lagan Valley to a high of nearly 80% in one area of Mid Ulster.
The ballot boxes were taken to eight counting centres across Northern Ireland after the polls closed.
The count will get under way at 08:00 GMT on Friday with the final results not expected to be confirmed until Saturday afternoon.
The polls opened at 07:00 GMT on Thursday and closed at 22:00 GMT.
The leaders of Northern Ireland's five main parties got out early to cast their votes.
The 2017 Assembly Election was called after the resignation of former Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.
This assembly election has seen one significant change from previous ones.
There will be a reduction in assembly members from 108 to 90.
Northern Ireland's 18 constituencies will return five MLAs each, not six as was the case beforehand.
The number of MLAs has been cut in order to reduce the cost of politics.
Forty-eight fewer candidates stood in this election than in May last year.
In Northern Ireland, the government must be run by Irish nationalists and unionists together.
When all of the 90 seats have been filled, the two biggest unionist and nationalist parties will get together to try to form a new government.
Elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly use a form of proportional representation called the Single Transferable Vote (STV).
Voters rank candidates in numerical preference.
Candidates are then elected according to the share of the vote they receive. You can read an in-depth guide to the system here.
A total of 1,254,709 people were eligible to vote.
The BBC News NI website will carry the latest election results and analysis on Friday and throughout the weekend.

Ms Clinton, the liberal daily said in an editorial, is "one of the most broadly and deeply qualified candidates" in modern history.
An outsider in the Republican race, the NYT called Mr Kasich the "only plausible choice".
The backing comes days before Iowa voters become first to make their pick.
The endorsement of Ms Clinton from one of the top-selling titles in the US is no surprise; the NYT backed the former secretary of state in her losing bid for the presidency against Barack Obama in 2008.
The NYT had praise for Ms Clinton's main rival, Bernie Sanders, but the paper said he "does not have the breadth of experience or policy ideas that Mrs Clinton offers".
Assessing the Republican field, Saturday's editorial gave a damning verdict on the two leading contenders.
Frontrunner Donald Trump "has neither experience in nor interest in learning about national security, defence or global trade", the paper said. Ted Cruz "will say anything to win".
Instead, the NYT plumped for Ohio Governor John Kasich as "the only plausible choice for Republicans tired of the extremism and inexperience on display in this race".
Mr Kasich tweeted he was "proud" to gain the NYT's support, which may be something of a mixed blessing given that the paper has been a frequent focus of criticism for US conservatives.
As she kissed goodbye to her boyfriend, Richard Deer, before leaving for work, they were looking forward to an exciting few days.
That night they were due to leave for Paris for a romantic, long weekend.
Moments later the 29-year-old boarded the Piccadilly Line train at Finsbury Park station heading towards Russell Square, where she worked as a receptionist at the Goodenough College.
But when news of the bomb attacks reached Mr Deer, he started to worry and rang her work, only to find out she had failed to arrive.
Days of searching ensued, until police confirmed her death.
Polish-born Ms Gluck had followed her twin sister Magda Gluck-Pawlick to London in 2002, from their home town of Chorzow.
The sisters were inseparable from birth and grew up wearing identical clothes. It was not until finishing school that they chose their own paths.
Karolina, known to her family as Lolcia, liked to be in charge and was very involved in school affairs.
She went on to study marketing and management while learning English. At university she explored her love of travel, making two trips to the US.
In a Book of Tributes, compiled by victims' families, her mother wrote: "She was very popular and was the life and soul of the party, yet also knew how to strike the perfect balance between working hard and enjoying life.
"She was immensely trustworthy and took great care of those who were both close to her as well as those she barely knew."
Ms Gluck moved to London after struggling to find work in her home country, and lived with her sisiter.
She did not take long to integrate herself into her new city.
Nicknamed "Sunshine" by her boyfriend because of her lively and warm nature, she wore a St George's Cross piercing in her belly button and carried a London 2012 keyring.
In the Book of Tributes, Ms Gluck's mother wrote that her daughter was in a serious relationship and dreamed of starting a family.
Two weeks after the blasts, Mr Deer, 28, visited Russell Square, near the spot where his girlfriend was killed. Ms Gluck's Polish relatives joined him in leaving flowers and signing a book of condolence.
Alongside two tributes written by her family in Polish, he wrote: "I think about you all the time and I will never ever forget what we had.
"What we had was indescribable, so, so special. I love you Karolina and know that you are still close."
At the time of her death, Ms Gluck and her twin sister were arranging a summer trip to Poland to introduce their boyfriends to the family and show them their country.
Friends and family held a memorial service for Ms Gluck close to the college where she worked.
At first sight it would seem that the future should belong to those big four-engined airliners, especially as the number of us travelling by air is expected to soar in the next 20 years.
Indeed only last week, the airline Emirates placed a huge order for new engines for its growing fleet of Airbus A380s.
So what has happened to the air travel market, and why is it that world's major airlines aren't buying these big jets in large numbers anymore?
When the Airbus and Boeing first looked at designing these new jets, Boeing's original four-engined 747 jumbo jet ruled the skies. Airlines everywhere used it on long-haul routes, and kept their smaller twin-engined airliners for shorter flights.
It was logical to assume the future would be dominated by similar large planes capable of carrying up to 500 or more passengers.
It hasn't worked out like that.
Basically, twin-engined planes improved. They became able to fly farther and were more fuel-efficient than their four-engined competitors. Recently, high oil prices and the global economic downturn have hit the industry hard.
Many carriers went out of business and those that survived found their profitability was marginal. The industry is still grappling with the after-effects of the recession.
Tim Clark, the chief executive of Emirates, who is one of the A380's biggest fans and has ordered 140 of them says: "There is a degree of risk-averseness on the board of many carriers today.
"They are concerned about the price of this aeroplane, its operation, being able to fill the aeroplane."
The main use for the A380 is on busy routes or into crowded airports like London's Heathrow where landing slots are at a premium, and the only way of flying in more passengers is to use bigger planes.
However, for most of the world's airports, landing slots are not an issue.
"In the rest of the world, a twin-engined aircraft is enough," says Tom Whitty, chief executive of UK-based remarketing company Cabot Aviation, which sells and leases second-hand aircraft around the globe.
"Very large four-engined aircraft are going out of fashion, unless you are a national flag-carrier like British Airways or Emirates."
"Certainly in the used-market, they are too big and too thirsty in fuel."
One of the challenges is the time it takes to get an aircraft from the drawing board to an airport departure gate.
It was back in 1990 at the Farnborough Air Show that Airbus officially announced its plan to build a very large airliner.
But it was only in April 2005 that the prototype A380 first flew and not until October 2007 that the first production models entered commercial service with Singapore Airlines.
The time lag between initial development and commercial use means firms like Boeing or Airbus have to work out what the market will be like in 20 or so years, with all the inevitable uncertainty that brings.
While both companies have order backlogs that will sustain production for a few years, they both face tough choices if new orders do not come through.
Significantly, no passenger airline placed orders for either the Boeing 747-8 or the Airbus 380 last year.
Last December, Airbus chief financial officer Harald Wilhelm raised the prospect of ending production of the A380 - causing consternation among its customers.
While the company swiftly stepped in to reconfirm its commitment, and said it might even replace the plane's engines with more fuel-efficient versions - the furore did the big plane no favours.
So far it has sold 317 A380s - but this is just a quarter of the 1,200 'super jumbos' that Airbus forecast that airlines would need when it started marketing the plane.
This is also the first year that Airbus has been able to sell its planes for more than it costs to build them.
But this doesn't take into account the $25bn (£16bn) the company spent on developing it in the first place, and some wonder whether Airbus will ever recover these costs.
For its part, Airbus insists that its jet is "more than ever meeting passengers' changing expectations and matching the evolving trends in air traffic, while generating significant revenue for its operators".
One reason the plane has not sold as had been hoped is that many carriers worry that they would not be able to fill the A380 on many routes.
It is not an argument that Tim Clark of Emirates accepts, saying his competitors could emulate his own carrier's success.
"We fill our aeroplanes because of the way we design the interiors, the amount of money we spend on the brand, and [in] getting the job done."
Boeing's big jet, the 747-8 has sold in even fewer numbers. So far just 122 have been ordered - mainly the air freighter version.
However, unlike Airbus, Boeing did not spend as much because it avoided developing an entirely new aircraft. As its name suggests this is an updated version of the original 747.
"In some respects Boeing called it right as they didn't spend $10-15bn to compete with the A380," says Max Kingsley-Jones, of aviation specialists, Flightglobal.
"The 747-8 cost a lot but not as much as a new aircraft would have done."
Unlike Airbus, Boeing sees its future in twin-engined jets like the 777-300ER and the the 777X, which can carry between 360-400 passengers. So far it has taken more than 1,000 orders for these planes.
"They have a survival plan," says Max Kingsley-Jones, "these planes are both bigger than today's 777. The 777-X has a composite wing and new engines - that is the ultimate replacement in the 777 line-up."
So could Airbus really walk away from a plane in which it has invested so much time, money and prestige?
"They've got it and they've got to make a success of it - it's a challenge," says Flightglobal's Max Kingsley-Jones.
To admit defeat and to close down the A380 production line at this stage "would be a huge loss of face for Airbus," he says.
Air travel is set to more than double from today's 3.3 billion passengers a year to 7.3 billion by 2034, says the International Air Transport Association, so "you're going to run out of sky if you keep on putting smaller aeroplanes up there," he adds
Back at Emirates, Tim Clark says that impact of lower oil prices and a global economy that is now showing signs of growth, will mean a bigger market for the plane.
"The future of the very large super-heavy jet, the A380, is assured," he says.
"But at the moment a lot of people are worried about it."
The victim, who is in her late 20s, was attacked at the retailer's branch in Cheadle, Stockport, at about 19:00 BST on Friday.
Her attacker, described as a "monobrowed" Asian man aged about 40, dragged her into bushes before sexually assaulting her, police said.
Greater Manchester Police said she had reported the attack on Monday.
The woman had been parked near a cut-through, which joins the car park to the A34 Wilmslow-Handforth bypass, the force said.
Appealing for witnesses, Det Insp Richard Ennis said officers hoped the suspect's "distinctive" description would "jog someone's memory".
The man was said to be of medium build, with black hair, and heavily pock-marked, open-pored skin on his face.
He was wearing black jogging bottoms at the time of the attack and sported a "thick, black monobrow", Det Insp Ennis said.
"We believe that the area close to where the victim was parked in her car is used as a cut-through between Wilmslow-Handforth bypass and the junction of Wilmslow Road and Etchells Road.
"We are appealing for anyone that may have seen a man fitting this description hanging around this area, to please get in touch," he said.
The company said the incident had left staff at the store "shocked".
"We are doing everything we can to support the police in their investigations," added a spokeswoman.
"Although we have been advised by the police that this type of incident is extremely rare, we are working with our landlord to immediately put in place additional security measures including extra security personnel and improved lighting and visibility in the car park."
The visit to war-torn Mogadishu is the first by a leader from outside Africa in almost 20 years.
The Turkish foreign minister, part of a delegation accompanying Mr Erdogan, told the BBC they wanted to break the idea that the city was a no-go area.
East Africa is suffering from its worst drought in 60 years.
The UN estimates that some 12 million people have been affected.
Somalia, where five districts have been suffering from famine, has been worst hit. Much of the country is controlled by the Islamist al-Shabab group. Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaeda, has banned many aid agencies from its territory.
Foreign visitors to Mogadishu are a rarity, but since al-Shabab recently made what it called a tactical withdrawal from the capital, a few international politicians have come to see for themselves the thousands of famine victims pouring into the city.
Mr Erdogan is the most high-profile figure so far to visit Mogadishu, which is now controlled by the weak interim government and by a 9,000-strong African Union force (Amisom).
Correspondents say Turkish flags are flying at the airport, the port and on one of the capital's main thoroughfares.
He travelled through the city in a bullet-proof car, in contrast to the armoured personnel carrier usually used by Somalia's President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed.
Mr Erdogan, accompanied by his wife, daughter and an entourage consisting of cabinet members and their families, said Turkey would open an embassy in Mogadishu to help distribute aid for famine victims.
"The tragedy going on here is a test for civilization and contemporary values," Mr Erdogan told reporters, AFP news agency reports.
His trip comes days after Turkey and other Muslim countries pledged $350m (£212m) for famine relief.
"We came to Somalia to show our solidarity with the brothers and sisters of Somalia, but this is not just for one day, we will continue to work for our brothers and sisters and we will never leave them alone," Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.
The purpose of the visit was first symbolic, he said.
"There was a perception that nobody can go to Mogadishu; we try to destroy the perception. We came - many others can come."
The second aim was to provide humanitarian assistance and during this Muslim holy month of Ramadan the Turkish public had so far raised $115m for Somalia, he said.
"We are here to make a call to all leaders, to all states that they should do their part as well and not only for short-term humanitarian assistance but the long-term economic development of Somalia."
The visitors observed the distribution of Turkish aid in the internally displaced people's camps.
It was also announced that Turkey would rebuild the road to Mogadishu airport, restore a hospital, build schools and drill water wells.
Meanwhile, the UN is warning of an outbreak of cholera among Somali famine victims.
One hospital in Mogadishu has registered more than 4,000 cases.
"The situation at the moment is pretty critical," said Nancy Balfour of the UN children's agency, Unicef. "The combination of diarrhoeal disease and malnutrition is absolutely deadly for children."
"Normally, diarrhoea would not kill children, but children in as malnourished a state as we have in Somalia cannot stand the disease, and many, many will die if this outbreak gets out of control," she told the BBC's Network Africa programme.
Ms Balfour said she feared that there were many more cases in the interior of Somalia, which Unicef was having difficulty in reaching.
Before the main cholera season had even started in October, the conditions are already in place for the disease to spread rapidly, she said.
"The conditions are perfect for disease transmission: people are living in crowded conditions, they're using unprotected water sources - usually shallow wells that are open and easily contaminated - and people are very weak from the malnutrition."
More than 100,000 people have arrived in Mogadishu in the last two months in search of food.
The UN says 3.2 million people - almost half the population - are in need of immediate life-saving assistance in Somalia, which has been wracked by civil war for two decades.

Around 500,000 people are expected to flock to the docks for the festivities before bidding goodbye to up to 50 vessels when they sail out of Belfast Lough on Sunday, 5 July.
Lord Mayor Arder Carson says it is set to be the biggest event ever held in the city.
But with major disruption and traffic congestion expected, visitors need to plan ahead.
Special transport and traffic arrangements will be in place to deal with the thousands of expected visitors.
Here's what you need to know.
Translink have published details online of special transport services being laid on for the event.
It includes details of free shuttle buses that will operate from the city centre to the two main sites for the festival - Queen's Quay at the Odyssey Complex, and Pollock Dock.
Shuttle bus times
Thursday and Friday (all times BST): 12:00-22:00
Saturday: 10:00-23:00
Sunday: 10:00-17:00
The buses depart every five minutes during operating hours.
There will also be a free shuttle to transport visitors between Pollack Dock and Queen's Quay.
For those travelling by car, two dedicated park and ride facilities will be available - one from Airport Road West to Queen's Quay, the other from Boucher Road Playing Fields to Pollock Dock.
The car parking charge is £2.50, with the shuttle bus provided for free.
Alternatively, Translink's park and ride services from Cairnshill, Dundonald, Sprucefield and Ballymartin will be open from 10:30 BST each day of the festival.
Parking is free and normal bus fares apply.
Several roads in the city centre and port areas will be closed or restricted for the duration of the four-day event.
Queen's Quay, Queen Elizabeth Bride, Corporation Square and Donegall Quay are all subject to restrictions - full details can be found on the Tall Ships Belfast website.
The police have also said that parking restrictions will be strictly enforced and concession for blue badge holders to park on single or double yellow lines in the Harbour Estate and event areas will not apply during the event.
Blue badge holders can reserve a parking space at Corporation Square or park on a first come, first served basis at the Odyssey Arena or one of the designated park and ride sites. | It was in squalor, in a disease-hit, 19th Century Swansea that Griffith John grew up, with cholera claiming the lives of both his parents.

A special memorial ceremony will be held on board the cruise ship Balmoral at the time the ship went down.
Titanic hit an iceberg at 23:40 on 14 April and sank two hours and 40 minutes later, with the loss of 1,517 lives.
The wreck still rests on the seabed where it sank, 375 miles south east of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Jane Allen, from Devon, said: "We wish to commemorate our relative, Thomas Pears, who died on the Titanic.
"His story has been a big part of our lives. His widow Edith survived in Lifeboat 8."
Philip Littlejohn, grandson of Titanic survivor Alexander James Littlejohn and the only Titanic relative to have made the dive to the wreck site, will also make the trip.
He said: "I'm sure my grandfather, a First Class steward on Titanic, would be proud to know his story will be shared.
"It will be an emotional moment when we are over the wreck site, where I dived in 2001, and where my grandfather left Titanic rowing Lifeboat 13."
Another relative taking part will be author Arthur Cropley, the great-nephew of Charles Lightoller, the second officer of the Titanic.
Mr Lightoller survived the sinking, helping with the evacuation of passengers.
He was portrayed by actor Kenneth More in the 1958 film A Night To Remember, with the character also featuring in the Oscar-winning 1997 film, Titanic.
Mr Lightoller helped in the evacuation of British troops at Dunkirk in 1940. He died, aged 78, in 1952.
The Balmoral will be joined by another cruise ship, Azamara Journey, which will sail from New York to take part in the ceremony.
Azamara Journey will call at Halifax, where guests will visit Fairview Lawn Cemetery where 121 of Titanic's unclaimed victims were buried.
A referendum will be held on 5 May on adding about £25 a year to the bill of the average band D property in Devon and Cornwall.
Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Tony Hogg said a 15% the rise could save 350 officers.
It came as the government said changes to the way money was allocated to police would be delayed.
Figures between a 10% and 25% increase were being considered, but senior police sources told the BBC a 15% option was considered a "workable compromise".
Devon and Cornwall Police is expecting a budget cut of £54m a year, with the loss of up to 760 police officers and all 360 community support officers.
The Home Office said: "Crime has been falling, and the police can still find further efficiencies without harming frontline services."
The public consultation will run until Christmas and a YouGov opinion poll will be commissioned as part of the consultation costing under £10,000, Mr Hogg added.
If a referendum is held in May, on the same day as the PCC elections, the estimated cost is about £2m.
Mr Hogg said he had decided not to stand for the role again for family reasons.
Elsewhere, a public consultation and referendum to raise an extra £4.5m for Bedfordshire Police was rejected in May.
Police minister Mike Penning, who announced the delay in allocating money to forces, apologised to the Commons for a "statistical error" in the new formula, which assesses population size and other data to calculate force funding.
The issue had caused "a great deal of concern to police forces", he added.
Andrew White, chief executive to the Devon and Cornwall PCC, who uncovered the error, said the force was "delighted" that the changes were delayed and as the process had lost credibility.
Mr White added: "This is what we have been calling for for some time as the process gradually lost credibility and the admission of the significant errors last week were the final nail in the coffin."
Having won the 2005 World title and 2008 UK crown, Murphy stays on course for a career 'triple crown', after making two breaks of 103 to advance.
He will meet Mark Allen who beat Joe Perry 6-4 earlier in the day.
"For long periods of that match, it was embarrassing," Allen told BBC Sport. "I just could not get anything going.
"I was delivering the cue so badly."
Allen went 3-1 ahead, before England's Perry made breaks of 50, 68 and 67 to make it 4-4. But Northern Irishman Allen made a break of 55 and then clinched the 10th to progress.
Allen went through into his second Masters semi-final but will have to improve significantly if he is to trouble Murphy.
Scotland's Maguire opened with breaks of 137 and 67, before Murphy responded with 103 as he levelled at 2-2.
Some superb potting allowed Englishman Murphy to go ahead in the match for the first time at 4-3, and another century plus the 10th frame gave him victory.

Adrian Hinchliffe guided Laugher and Chris Mears to Team GB's first ever Olympic diving gold in Rio.
He is employed by Leeds City Council and worked for British Diving as a consultant but wanted to make a full-time switch to prepare for Tokyo 2020.
However, British Diving failed to make an offer and Hinchliffe has joined Australia Diving as head coach.
"He's achieved things as a coach that no-one in this country has ever done before and it's a massive insult to me and to Ady," Laugher told BBC Look North.
"British Diving and the national performance director [Alexei Evangulov] have really overlooked how much of a key part he is.
"To have someone like Ady say 'sack this I'm leaving', well it should never have got to this point."
In a statement, British Swimming, of which British Diving is a part, said: "British Diving is obviously disappointed with Ady's decision to move on to work in Australia, as he has done great things for the sport.
"We were aware that he wanted to work with the sport full-time and we were in the process of beginning discussions but unfortunately timescales didn't allow these to conclude.
"We'd like to thank him for all of his hard work and dedication, and we wish him well for the future in Australia."
In addition to Laugher and Mears, Olympic bronze medallist Daniel Goodfellow, Commonwealth champion Rebecca Gallantree and world junior medallists Lois Toulson and Katherine Torrance are all based at the City of Leeds set-up.
Like Hinchliffe, Plymouth Diving's head coach Andy Banks has enjoyed success - initially with Tom Daley and more recently with the likes of Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow - and is also employed by the local council.
Tom Daley's current coach, Jane Figueredo - who heads Dive London at the 2012 Olympic Aquatics Centre - is employed by British Diving on a full-time contract.
As a result of the squad's successes in Rio and potential for medals in Tokyo, British Diving was awarded a funding increase - from £7.5m to £8.8m - by UK Sport heading into the next Games.
"After the Games it's really tough for sports not knowing what they'll receive, but ours actually went up, but unfortunately we haven't seen that money travel to the coaching staff which is a real shame," Mears told the BBC.
Hinchliffe feels he was left with "no option" but to accept the role with the Australian Diving team.
"To really help those like Jack and Chris as well as the other superstars we had out in Rio keep improving, I needed to be in a full-time role," said Hinchliffe.
"Coaches tend to be humble by their nature - it's the athletes who go up on the podium - but it's such an important role.
"British sport is so successful at the moment and we need to examine all of the components behind that, but in my particular case I just don't think that's happened."
Although he did not place a value on the works, Tate director Sir Nicholas Serota said the gift "greatly enriched the national collection of art".
The nine works have been donated by Austria-based philanthropists Mercedes and Ian Stoutzker.
The works will go on show at Tate Britain in London later this year.
Freud's painting Girl in a Striped Nightdress, or Celia, dates from 1983-85 and shows his lover Celia Paul lying on a bed.
The Hockney work, Savings and Loan Building (1966), is one of a series of paintings he made of a glass building in Los Angeles.
Also included is Rachel Whiteread's commission Maquette for Trafalgar Square Plinth, a translucent cast of the square's fourth plinth that was displayed upon it for four months in 2001.
Other donated items include pieces by Peter Doig, George Shaw and Conrad Shawcross.
Announcing the donation at Tate Britain on Tuesday, Sir Nicholas said the gift had been an act of "pure philanthropy" and there was no tax benefit behind it.
The works represent two generations of British artists - artists from the 1960s and 1970s and younger ones who emerged in the 1990s.
Sir Nicholas said the Stoutzkers had approached him saying they had a number of works that could "fill some gaps" in the Tate's collection.
"In the current climate they were very keen to make this public rather than for it to come on their death, because they wanted to encourage others to give works to the national collection," he said.
"They see that as part of a general wish to encourage philanthropy in this country."
All nine works will be exhibited together at Tate Britain in October at the time of the Frieze Art Fair.
Sir Nicholas said the couple's decision had not been affected by the announcement in the Budget of a cap on tax relief for charitable giving.
"The conversation began well before the announcements," he said.
"But it would not have been affected by the announcement because they are not receiving any tax benefit from making this gift."
"There is a generous giving culture in this country," added Culture Minister Ed Vaizey.
"I'm sure that, as the Chancellor has said, he will listen to the representations about how the changes that he's proposed should be implemented."
In the last quarter of 2016, the firm saw net outflows of £10.5bn, which were partially offset by market gains of £3.3bn.
Aberdeen reported that the bulk of outflows were "largely low margin and anticipated".
It said investor sentiment "stalled" following the US election result.
Assets under management fell by 3% over the quarter to £302.7bn.
The firm said the rationalisation of its US fixed income business accounted for £2.2bn of the reduction.
It added that a further £2.4bn was scheduled to be withdrawn from lower-margin portfolios during the current quarter.
In a trading update, Aberdeen said it continued to make "encouraging progress across all asset classes, with a healthy level of client interest and demand".
Chief executive Martin Gilbert added: "Investor sentiment had been improving steadily in the early part of the quarter, but stalled following the US presidential election result with investors putting asset allocation decisions on hold.
"Encouragingly, despite the market volatility our equity strategies produced strong returns for the year.
"While growing interest in a number of our strategies is likely to continue to be masked, in the short-term, by significant withdrawals by a small number of clients, I am encouraged by the progress being made.
"Overall Aberdeen remains in good shape, we have a strong balance sheet, a global client base and wide range of capabilities to meet the needs of investors."
The company's share price fell in early trading, following the update. At 11:30, it was down about 3.4%, at 249.40p.
Mr Kicillof's talks with "hold-out" investors ended late on Tuesday night in New York without agreement.
They are demanding a full pay-out of $1.3bn (£766m) on the bonds they hold.
A US judge has ruled that the "hold-outs" must be paid by Wednesday night if no deal is agreed.
But thousands of miles away in Buenos Aires, many are sceptical that there can be any agreement.
The government's rhetoric has been clear.
The "hold-outs" are US hedge funds that bought debt on the cheap during Argentina's darkest hours and never agreed to restructuring.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner calls them vultures, accusing them of taking advantage of Argentina's debt problems to make a big profit.
What makes the problem worse is that if the "hold-outs" get their way, other bondholders who agreed to take cuts of up to 70% in what they are owed may also demand full repayment.
Ask people on the street about their view on Argentina's debt troubles and most admit it is too complicated for them to understand.
But the two words they do know are "fondos buitres" - "vulture funds" in Spanish.
Despite the defiant tone of the government, many people seem resigned. Argentina has defaulted before and it will do it again.
I met Carina Etchegaray, the mother of two children aged 14 and 16.
When Argentina last defaulted at the end of 2001, she lost huge amounts of savings.
She had wanted to buy a house for her young family. But at the end of 2001, the government introduced what was known as the "corralito". It literally means a small enclosure in Spanish, but refers to when the government partially froze bank accounts and people were stopped from taking money out.
"When we finally had the money, because of devaluation, we could only buy a car for the same quantity of money we had for a house," she says.
But she is also practical.
"We live with this shadow of crisis. You have to continue with your life because you have children and have to work.
"You have to adapt - in this country, it's the way of life."
And that is what entrepreneur Federico Dumas is doing too - but not in the way that Argentina would hope.
He has a software company, but says he is not investing as he would like to.
"I'm afraid of everything and my customers are not willing to invest, so that will affect my business," he says, adding that he is hopeful Argentina's problems will be solved reasonably.
"But if the country goes into default, I'm very afraid of what's going to happen to my business and my employees."
Default or not, when I met Guillermo Nielsen, the man who led the negotiations when the country was restructuring its debts in 2005, he said what is happening in Argentina is something he had never foreseen.
"I never imagined this - not in my wildest dreams," he says.
"People, although they were unsatisfied and they were very tough negotiations, they knew that Argentina was not able to pay, so that's a very big difference.
"Today, Argentina has the money - back then, we didn't have the money. In my own perception, I think the incoming negotiations are going to be much tougher than the ones we had to go through."
His worry is that if the country defaults, it could trigger what is known as an acceleration clause.
It would mean creditors could make Argentina repay bonds within a much shorter timeframe than previously set out. That, he says, is a real concern.
But all this is speculation. With just a few hours to go, no decisions have been made and it is all still talk.
The detail of what has been discussed is still unclear. As people here say, the Argentine way of doing things will mean talks until the 11th hour.
The vultures will keep circling until then.
It is the first film of Bin Laden to emerge since al-Qaeda released a video address by him in 2007. The Pentagon released the video with the audio removed.
Here is what the clips show:
A relatively long clip of Bin Laden making a statement to camera. He is wearing a white headcovering, a white shirt and a golden robe, and his delivery is in a style similar to that of previous video addresses by the al-Qaeda leader.
He is reading from notes on the table in front of him. He has his hands laid flat on the table, though he occasionally raises his right index finger for emphasis. He is wearing a ring on the little finger of his right hand.
Pentagon officials said it was a message to the United States.
There is no confirmation it was shot at the compound in Abbottabad where Bin Laden was found, but that is where he is said to have been living for the last few years.
Shows Osama Bin Laden watching footage of himself on television. The television is on a small table with what looks like a satellite box next to it.
The al-Qaeda leader is seen sitting in front of the table, apparently cross-legged on a carpeted floor, using a remote control.
He has a blanket over his shoulders and is wearing a black woolen hat. He strokes his beard, which looks grey - not black as in the other video clips.
Two other monitors, both switched off, can be seen in the room. There is what looks like a black sheet to the left of the TV, possibly covering a window.
At the start of the clip a list of channels come up, and it appears that Al-Jazeera is selected.
The images playing on the TV seem to be old footage of the al-Qaeda leader, including shots of him walking in the mountains.
There is also an image of the twin towers in New York in flames on 11 September 2001, with a still photo of Bin Laden superimposed on top of it and Arabic script.
The first of three videos in which Bin Laden appears to be rehearsing for a video message.
He is wearing the same clothes as in the first video, but with a bare wooden panel or door as a backdrop.
A white sleeveless vest is visible under his white shirt.
Here too, Bin Laden seems to be rehearsing.
He starts to talk, then glances to his right uncertainly before continuing to speak to the camera.
He is again wearing a white shirt and hat, though not the gold robe.
The backdrop is plain and dark brown.
Another short clip of Bin Laden dressed in white shirt, hat and golden robe, speaking to camera.
This time the backdrop is what looks like a crumpled blue sheet.
As in the previous videos, he occasionally looks down to read from notes.
The trust opposed the development because of its proximity to the Unesco world heritage site.
It brought a judicial review after Environment Minister Alex Attwood granted planning permission.
Developers have said that work will now start as soon as possible on the resort at Runkerry.
Dr Alistair Hanna, who has been driving the proposals, said it would be one of the "most spectacular golf developments ever seen in Ireland".
"Not only will the resort provide a world-class golf links course and facilities attracting thousands of visitors each year, it will also protect the vulnerable topography of the coastal area which has been left vulnerable following decades of neglect," he said.
Mr Attwood approved the plan to build the complex in February 2012.
The development, on a 365-acre site, is to be known as Bushmills Dunes Golf Resort and Spa.
The plan includes an 18-hole golf course, a five-star 120-bedroom hotel and 70 golf lodges.
Last year, it was reported that the project could create up to 360 new jobs.
However, the trust had argued that the minister should have consulted Unesco before making his decision as it could affect the Causeway's status as a world heritage site.
During the judicial review hearing last month, a lawyer for the trust claimed the minister had been improperly advised.
On Wednesday, Mr Justice Weatherup rejected all grounds of challenge to Mr Attwood's decision.
He backed a counter submission by the Department of the Environment that world heritage convention guidelines have no standing in UK law.
"The court must step away from seeking to implement, directly or indirectly, what obligations there may or may not be under the convention.
"I must not grant to citizens of the state a right that only exists in international law, if it exists at all."
However, he added that there were "a multitude of reasons why the National Trust was warranted in bringing this application and I'm minded not to make any order for costs".
Mr Attwood welcomed the judgement and said "the economic benefits of tourism in the north potentially knows no bounds".
"My decision to grant permission was finely balanced but I was strong in my opinion that it was the right decision on the planning merits. This has now been endorsed by the courts," he said.
In a statement the National Trust said it was "bitterly disappointed" at the decision and that it was convinced the development was wrong.
"We still believe that if a development of this scale does go ahead in this location, the message is that nowhere in Northern Ireland, no matter how important or protected, is safe from development," it said.
"The ruling today has served to highlight aspects of very serious concern for those partners involved in the care and protection of the world heritage site."
The North Antrim MP, Ian Paisley, said it was right that the development goes ahead and that the trust knew they had "no case".
"Their actions I still believe have been disgraceful and damaging for the Northern Ireland economy, but we must take heart in today's decision and look to move forward as the course progresses," he said.
Among those who said the hotel should be built was golfer Darren Clarke.
He said that he "didn't get how" the plans would damage the area when they were further away than a hotel and car park adjacent to the site which is owned by the Trust itself.
The 2011 Open champion called those opposing the plan "treehuggers".
Emergency services were called to the scene near Gower View Foods factory, Cross Hands, Carmarthenshire, at 08:05 BST. The man died at the scene.
A second man was taken to Llanelli's Prince Philip Hospital as a precautionary measure, said the Welsh Ambulance Service.
The Health and Safety Executive is assisting police with their inquiries.
The incident was on the site of a new factory being built for Gower View Foods and next door to its original plant.
Gower View Foods director Jon Lewis said: "We are devastated for the builder and for the family. It's a very sad situation."
A digger has been cordoned off at the scene.
An ambulance service spokesman said: "We sent a rapid response car and two emergency ambulances to the scene, where sadly a man was pronounced dead."
An HSE spokeswoman said: "There was a fatality this morning at Gower Foods in Cross Hands. The HSE is aware and we are assisting police with their enquiries at this stage."
Police said the incident happened on Cardinal O'Fiaich Square.
The square has been closed while police conduct an investigation into the incident.
Robert Ford left the Syrian capital, Damascus, in late October.
He had angered Syrian authorities by showing solidarity with activists involved in an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's rule.
Meanwhile, France's ambassador returned to Damascus on Monday having been recalled last month, according to AFP.
News of Mr Ford's return came as the US secretary of state met seven members of the opposition Syrian National Council in Geneva.
Hillary Clinton said that democratic transition in Syria - where the UN estimates that more than 4,000 people have been killed since the beginning of the uprising in March - meant more than removing Mr Assad.
"It means setting Syria on the path of the rule of law and protecting the universal rights of all citizens, regardless of sect or ethnicity or gender," she told journalists.
A senior US state department official told reporters that Mr Ford was expected to leave for Damascus later on Tuesday.
"Ambassador Robert Ford has completed his consultations in Washington and is returning to Damascus this evening," the unnamed official said.
Mr Ford left Syria on 24 October as the government crackdown on protesters and a nascent armed insurgency against Mr Assad intensified.
In return, Syria recalled its own envoy in Washington.
An Arabic-speaker who has served in several Arab countries, Mr Ford had expressed solidarity with protesters as well as denouncing Syria's crackdown on its opponents.
He originally arrived in Damascus in January as the first US ambassador to Syria for more than five years.
The French ambassador to Syria, Eric Chevallier, was recalled to Paris on 16 November after attacks on French diplomatic missions in the country.
A spokesman for the French foreign ministry, Romain Nadal, told the AFP news agency that Mr Chevallier's return did not mean that the subjects of concern had disappeared.
"France is more than ever at the side of the Syrian people," he said.
The rock-bottom Sky Blues were punished for defensive errors and have now taken just two points from their last 14 League One outings.
Oldham, who started the day in 21st, led after eight minutes as Ryan Flynn crossed from the right and Coventry defender Kevin Foley horribly miscued his clearance, scoring an own goal from six yards.
The visitors were level just a minute later when Marcus Tudgay seized possession 25 yards out and hit a powerful shot which dipped under the crossbar.
Callum Reilly almost put Coventry ahead with a curling effort against the bar, while George Thomas was denied by Oldham goalkeeper Connor Ripley.
Yet the visitors were guilty of another howler on 66 minutes as keeper Reice Charles-Cook dropped a simple high ball which allowed Oldham skipper Peter Clarke to bundle into the empty net.
The Latics quickly made it 3-1 as Ryan McLaughlin sprinted through half-hearted tackles before drilling into the bottom corner from 14 yards.
Coventry regained hope on 76 minutes as substitute Kwami Thomas buried a header from Ryan Haynes' left-wing cross, but Oldham held on for a vital three points.

For girls in particular, they found the longer spent watching TV, the more likely children were to put on weight.
Researchers say there is now an urgent need to see if similar patterns exist with laptops and mobile phones.
Experts said high levels of screen time exposed children to a damaging combination of risks to health.
Published in the International Journal of Obesity, the study analysed data from more than 12,000 young children in the UK.
Scientists found more than half the children had TVs in their bedrooms at the age of seven.
Parents were also asked to rate how many hours a day children generally spent watching TV.
Later, when the children were 11, researchers plotted their body mass index (a ratio of height and weight) and looked at the percentage of body fat.
Girls who had TVs in their bedrooms at the age of seven were 30% more likely to be overweight when they were 11, compared to children who did not have TVs in their bedrooms.
For boys, the risk was increased by about 20%.
Researcher Dr Anja Heilmann, said: "Our study shows there is clear link between having a TV in the bedroom as a young child and being overweight a few years later."
Researchers say they cannot be sure why the link between TVs and being overweight exists, but suggest it may be down to children getting less sleep when watching TV in their bedrooms or snacking in front of their screens.
And they hypothesise that the stronger link between the hours girls spend watching TV and being overweight could be influenced by girls being less likely to be physically active than boys at this age.
Researchers are calling for strategies designed to prevent childhood obesity to do more to tackle this issue.
Writing in the journal, they say: "While our screens have become flatter, our children have become fatter."
Prof Nick Finer, consultant endocrinologist and bariatric physician at University College London, said the study was "powerful" although it couldn't prove that a bedroom TV directly caused weight gain.
But he added: "It is hard not to think that parents concerned about their child's risk of becoming overweight might appropriately consider not putting a TV in their young children's bedrooms."
Prof Russell Viner, from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) said the findings should be taken seriously.
"With a third of 11-year-old children in England overweight and almost one in five obese, urgently tackling the childhood obesity epidemic is absolutely vital.
"We know that high levels of screen time expose children to increased risks of being overweight on a number of fronts, creating a damaging combination of a more sedentary lifestyle, increased exposure to junk food advertising, disruption to sleep and poorer ability to regulate eating habits when watching TV."
Prof Viner said the study supported their call for a ban on junk food advertising on TV before the 21:00 watershed.
Niall McGinn helped Northern Ireland to a 2-0 win over Ukraine but could be unavailable for Aberdeen's European campaign, which starts on 30 June.
"Derek McInnes is aware that Northern Ireland's success could hamper our progress a little," said Brown.
The Dons enter the Europa League at the first qualifying stage.
They will find out their opponents when the draw is made on Monday 20 June.
Brown is confident that McInnes will find a way to compensate if he is forced to do without forward McGinn for the first qualifier.
"I'm sure he's got contingency plans in place if that's the case," said Brown, who managed the Dons from 2010 to 2013.
"For a long time, for example, last season Peter Pawlett was unfit. Now, if Peter gets himself fit, that's a further challenge in that position that Niall was playing so very well last year.
"I have great faith in our manager and he will unearth someone, albeit temporarily, to replace Niall.
"We just wish Niall all the best and his team-mates - the same for Wales and England."
Northern Ireland's victory over Ukraine kept their hopes of qualifying for the last 16 alive with one group match against Germany still to play.
With the likes of Kilmarnock striker Josh Magennis and Hamilton Academical goalkeeper Michael McGovern appearing at Euro 2016 for Michael O'Neill's side, Brown believes current national coach, Gordon Strachan, should place more faith in players playing in Scotland.
"In the last game we played, there wasn't one player playing in Scotland that started the game, they were all playing in England," Brown commented.
"It was quite surprising to see the starting team against France every player played outwith Scotland.
"We hope that this year Gordon will be so impressed with the standard that he will have to pick players that are playing in Scotland because they'll be doing so well."
The man, in his 50s, got into difficulty at about midnight on Monday when crossing land being developed as housing in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.
He fell into the trench, which was "shoulder-width", and became stuck.
A hazardous area response team managed to pull him free using an aerial ladder platform.
He is thought to have broken his ankles, a West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said.
"Given the nature of the location, a building site, there was a very real risk of the trench collapsing, so safety was the number one priority," added the spokesman.
Guy Williams, from Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service, told BBC Radio Shropshire there was an "irony" as firefighters had been practising a similar rescue scenario in a training exercise earlier that evening.
Network Rail said no trains would run in or out of Huddersfield and Dewsbury on Saturday and Sunday. But a replacement bus service was in place.
It is replacing the signal boxes at the stations with a digital Regional Operating Centre in York.
The company said it would result "in a more reliable, modern and cost-effective railway".
August train delays and how to avoid them
Network Rail say up to 25 replacement buses are running between Leeds, Manchester, Manchester Airport, Halifax, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Stalybridge and Bradford.
TransPennine Express said it was not running any trains between Manchester and Leeds because of the work.
Its services from Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Scarborough, Hull, Manchester, Sheffield, Doncaster and Cleethorpes was also affected.
However, Northern Rail said it would be running trains between Manchester Victoria and Leeds via Halifax and Bradford during the works.
Rob McIntosh, managing director for the London North Eastern and East Midlands route, added: "The signalling system in this part of West Yorkshire is approaching the end of its operational life and we are taking this opportunity to replace it with the latest signal technology which will increase reliability, thereby reducing delays, while cutting the cost of running the railway for the taxpayer.
"There is never a good time to disrupt passengers but this work has been carefully planned over several years to maximise every minute available to us during this weekend."
Network Rail said this was the first of three weekend closures. It is also planning to shut the same stations during 28-29 October and 20-21 January, when the work is expected to be completed.
The BA website initially suggested that customers should make a claim on their travel insurance for expenses such as meals during the delays.
But the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and consumer rights experts say responsibility is with the airline.
BA has now updated the language, removing any reference to insurance.
Saturday's IT fiasco grounded hundreds of flights and disrupted the travel plans of tens of thousands of passengers around the world.
Passengers travelling in the EU are entitled to compensation, but insurers were angry with the airline for claims over non-flight expenses such as hotels, meals and phone calls.
BA's website had said: "You should make a claim with your travel insurer in the first instance. If you have expenses that either you were not successful in claiming or which are not covered by your policy, you may claim for only these expenses in the form below."
However, the ABI contacted the airline earlier in the week pointing out that the initial claim should be to the airline, and only if that was unsuccessful would some policies pay out for these costs. A payout from the airline means passengers are more likely to get the full refund, rather than be liable for an insurer's excess.
Revised wording was regarded still to be misleading by the ABI, until all reference to travel insurance was eventually removed from the online form by mid-afternoon.
In an interview on Thursday, Willie Walsh, the head of British Airways' owner IAG, said: "Clearly we will do everything we can to make up [for] the disruption they suffered."
The airline said: "We have been encouraging customers that were affected by the weekend's events to submit claims for their expenses, including those beyond flights, so that we can compensate them.
"We have created a dedicated page on ba.com providing customers with additional information on how to make a claim."
It has now also added a link on its homepage for compensation advice.
Questions still remain over exactly how the IT fiasco occurred. The airline said on Wednesday that a loss of power to a UK data centre was "compounded" by a power surge that took out its IT systems.
An email leaked to the Press Association suggested that a contractor doing maintenance work inadvertently switched off the power supply, although this has not been confirmed.
The email said: "This resulted in the total immediate loss of power to the facility, bypassing the backup generators and batteries... After a few minutes of this shutdown, it was turned back on in an unplanned and uncontrolled fashion, which created physical damage to the systems and significantly exacerbated the problem."
We have all been asked by IT support to "turn it off and on again" - but reports are circulating that doing so was spectacularly catastrophic at BA.
The story that an engineer accidentally disconnected a key data centre's power supply has not yet been confirmed by the airline and its IT contractor has said such speculation is "not founded in fact".
It is possible that a loss of power was compounded by back-up systems that failed to come online in time, but many are still questioning how that could be the case.
In other words, why would a single switch be a fail point for BA's entire operations?
Some IT professionals continue to question whether the age, quality and resilience of equipment in the airline's data centres may not also be to blame.
Until British Airways reveals some details about what happened, we can only keep guessing.
Estyn said by the end of primary school, many pupils in Wales have developed a good understanding of basic concepts such as gravity and magnetism.
Nearly all understand the importance of undertaking investigations carefully.
But the report said primary schools need to reduce the achievement gap between pupils eligible for free school meals and their classmates.
It added they should ensure the more able pupils also find science lessons challenging.
In February, Estyn said more able learners' progress was being stifled.
Estyn's report, looking at science and design and technology for seven to 11-year-olds, recommended schools make sure they know their strengths and weaknesses so they can improve.
It recommended local authorities and consortia should provide more training opportunities for teachers.
"I have no sympathy," the Afghan leader told me in his palace in Kabul. He is calling on his countrymen to remain in the war-ravaged nation and join in the effort to rebuild it.
But do his words carry the weight they should, in a country that is increasingly feeling frustrated with the political elite, and a sense of hopelessness about their future?
Convincing people to stay feels like an impossible task for what is perhaps one of the toughest jobs in the world, being Afghanistan's president. Ashraf Ghani was sworn in in September 2014 after controversial elections.
This led to the formation of a national unity government with his main rival, Abdullah Abdullah, appointed as chief executive officer. Since then, Mr Ghani has had to deal with a shrinking economy, high unemployment, a perilous security situation thanks to a resurgent Taliban and an ineffective government, further weakened by his troubled partnership with Dr Abdullah.
It is no wonder, then, that Afghans make up the second largest group, after Syrians, to flee to Europe. In the past year alone, 180,000 nationals have fled instability and economic hardship at home.
But who should take responsibility for the tens of thousands of Afghans who have turned up on European shores? In a wide-ranging interview, Ashraf Ghani said that people shouldn't take the risky journey in the first place.
"We have spent hundreds of millions of dollars [on people] who want to leave under the slightest pressure. You need to have the will if you want to have a country." The president may be taking a defiant position, but many Afghans at home and abroad feel resentment towards Mr Ghani for not calling on his own children, who live in the United States, to return.
While he has inherited some of the problems he faces today, his approval rating continues to plummet with many Afghans feeling he has failed to manage expectations. And these latest statements are likely to cause a further drop.
It is not yet two years since he came to power and already in Kabul there is a sense of nostalgia for the past, with many referring to the era of his predecessor Hamid Karzai as the "good days".
The president is very much aware of the situation on the ground and believes Afghans should confront it. Last year, more than 11,000 civilians were killed or wounded in the country. One in four were children. That's the highest number recorded since the US-led invasion 14 years ago.
The United Nations says if Afghanistan's national unity government survives 2016, it will consider it a success. The bar is pretty low. And the Afghan people feel increasingly frustrated. A recent BBG-Gallup survey indicated that nearly 69% of people say their lives have got worse in the past year. Some 81% of people are dissatisfied with the government and 76% with Ashraf Ghani.
It appears that no matter what assurances the president gives people about how he intends to boost the economy and create jobs, the fact remains that this is a nation that continues to be heavily dependent on the international community for both security and economic assistance.
The deteriorating conditions also highlight the international community's failure to deal with the insecurity in Afghanistan. Nato and its partner nations have roughly 12,000 troops stationed there, yet the Taliban's reach is wider than at any time since 2001.
When President Ghani was sworn in, he immediately oversaw the signing of a controversial pact with the US known as the bilateral security agreement. It's controversial because Hamid Karzai had incensed the Obama Administration by refusing to agree to the deal until his demands had been met, souring relations between Washington and Kabul.
This was something Ghani had vowed to mend. With Nato troops remaining in the country, it was supposed to protect Afghan interests and make Afghanistan safer. The security situation now is the worst it's been since 2001.
The insurgents have been invited to the negotiating table many times but say they won't be coming while foreign troops remain in the country. And why would the Taliban bother striking a peace deal with the government when they have made such significant gains in the battlefield?
When I asked the Afghan president about growing concerns that the southern province of Helmand could collapse to the Taliban, he dismissed them. "Every place they've made gains, we've reversed them. Concerns are one thing, I'm talking fact, you're talking fiction."
But according to the independent Afghan Analysts Network, the Taliban are now better organised, better equipped and have developed sanctuaries in Afghanistan. In a report released this month, the AAN has given a detailed breakdown of the districts the Taliban are currently in control of in Helmand province.
There is no doubt that the Afghan president is in a tough position. He and his fragile unity government face the difficult balancing act of stabilising the security situation and providing assurances to the Afghan people that their future prospects are not entirely doomed.
But with 60% of the population under the age of 20, it is clearly proving hard for the Afghan leader to convince them that there is hope for a better future if they remain in the country.
The central government also fears that it is mostly the educated middle class who are leaving. This means it will be an even greater struggle to rebuild Afghanistan after years of conflict.
Ambassador Mark Lippert is recovering in hospital after Kim Ki-jong attacked him with a knife on Thursday.
During the attack, Mr Kim called for reunification of the two Koreas.
Police said they were also investigating Mr Kim's links with North Korea, after it was revealed he had made multiple visits.
"We are investigating whether there is any connection between the suspect's visits to North Korea and the crime committed against the US ambassador," Yoon Myeong-seong, head of Seoul's central Jongno district said according to Reuters.
Mr Kim also had a history of nationalist militant activity, media reports said.
A small group of people in South Korea see the US as the main obstacle to the reunification of a divided Korean peninsula.
Mr Yoon said authorities wanted to charge Mr Kim, 55, with attempted murder, violence against a foreign envoy and business obstruction, Yonhap news agency reported. Police have requested a formal detention warrant.
Mr Kim, who was apprehended after the incident, told police that he did not intend to kill Mr Lippert.
Mr Yoon also said they were considering charging him with violating South Korea's National Security Law, which bans South Koreans from publicly sympathising with the government of North Korea.
Mr Kim also shouted opposition to annual US-South Korean military drills, which began Monday, during the attack.
North Korea traditionally opposes the drills, which it describes as a rehearsal for invasion. Late on Thursday, it described the attack as "just punishment for US warmongers", in a statement on state media.
Mr Lippert, 42, was given 80 stitches to the deep cut on his face and underwent surgery to repair nerve damage to his hand.
Doctors said he would be discharged early next week.
The attack raised questions about security for diplomatic personnel. Mr Lippert had a bodyguard with him when the attack took place. Police were also there, but not at the request of the US embassy or the organisers of the event.
The responsibility for the safety of diplomats lies with the host nation.
After the incident, the South Korean government ramped up security for diplomatic missions, including the US embassy. Police said they were providing protection for Mr Lippert.
Kim Ki-jong's militant past
The 10-year-old won 12 of his 65 starts and was placed on a further 14 occasions, earning over £2m in prize money.
He burst onto the scene when running out a shock 100-1 winner of the Nunthorpe Stakes at York in 2010.
"He was a great horse, but time waits for no man and he's been retired," said Lynam.
Sole Power landed consecutive renewals of the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2013 and 2014 before regaining his Nunthorpe crown three years ago.
His final appearance came at last month's Dubai Carnival where he ran three times, finishing sixth in the Meydan Sprint.
Lynam added: "I've been training since I was 21 and I'm 55 now. I was a nobody until he came around and he's taken me to places I never felt were possible to go to."
Forward Bale, 26, returned to action on Saturday after two months out with a recurrence of a calf injury.
"Does he want to risk injuries every season or look for a club with very professional approach and a very healthy injury record," said Verheijen.
"There are not many, but they are there."
After scoring as a substitute in Real's 7-1 La Liga win over Celta Vigo on Saturday, Bale made his first start since 17 January in Tuesday's Champions League win against Roma.
Dutchman Verheijen was an assistant to the late Wales boss Gary Speed, who died in November, 2011 aged 42.
Verheijen told BBC Wales Sport: "Staying at that club is basically playing Russian roulette with your career."
Real Madrid have been asked to comment on Verheijen's thoughts but are yet to respond.
Former Tottenham player Bale missed Wales' friendly defeat by the Netherlands in November and his latest injury raised concerns for his country with Euro 2016 in the summer.
Bale played a starring role in Wales' qualifying campaign, playing in all 10 of their matches and scoring seven of their 11 goals as they reached their first major tournament finals since the 1958 World Cup.
HMS Queen Elizabeth is due to sail into Portsmouth following extensive preparations at the naval base.
The exact date is weather-dependent but is expected to be no later than 22 August.
The 65,000-tonne ship has been undergoing sea trials since setting sail from Rosyth dockyard in June.
Sir Michael Fallon said the 280m (900ft) long carrier would have a window for entering Portsmouth which would open on 17 August.
"In just two weeks' time, the most powerful warship ever built for Britain's famous Royal Navy is set to sail into her proud new home in Portsmouth," he said.
"HMS Queen Elizabeth will be the Royal Navy's flagship for the next 50 years, keeping us safe by deploying across the seven seas, using her strike power to deter our enemies."
The carrier currently cannot deploy planes but flying trials are due to begin next year, with 10 F-35 Lightning II jets and 120 aircrew preparing for the task in the US.
Preparations for the arrival of the future flagship of the fleet saw more than 20,000 items ranging from a human skull to sea mines dredged up from Portsmouth Harbour.
The Ministry of Defence said specialist dredging vessels have removed 3.2 million cubic metres of sediment - the equivalent to 1,280 Olympic swimming pools - during the dredging operation carried out to deepen the harbour mouth to enable the Queen Elizabeth to reach Portsmouth naval base.
Their position is only 19 places better than their worst ever ranking of 160th place, which they occupied in 2010.

Norman Fowler, 38, from Colchester, went missing in 2014 after being sentenced to nine months in jail for fraud.
He was being held in custody while on remand for gun licensing matters, but has now been released.
Thomas Tailford, a victim of Fowler, has criticised Essex Police for not seeking extradition quickly enough.
Essex Police said a request for a European Arrest Warrant had already been made, adding: "The officer in the case has been in contact with the relevant authorities to expedite the request."
Fowler has been on the run for two years after skipping bail at Norwich Crown Court.
Last week the BBC tracked him to Spain, where he was being held in a jail in Alicante.
Spanish sources have confirmed to the BBC Fowler has been seen back on the streets in Spain after being released on bail.
Videographer Mr Tailford, from Norfolk, who had cameras stolen by Fowler, set up a website to expose him and track him down.
Mr Tailford told the BBC: "Following the BBC investigation I expected the police would certainly make an effort to ensure Fowler's arrest so he could be brought to justice.
"Obviously I'm frustrated again thinking that Norman Fowler could abscond again and feel the police should really have been in touch with the authorities in Spain to advise he has a previous history of evading police."
Eden scored his 33rd and 34th tries of the season but injured his shoulder as he landed badly when diving in the corner for the second of his scores.
Ben Roberts, Joel Monaghan (twice) and Zak Hardaker also scored for the hosts, with Luke Gale kicking seven goals.
Gareth O'Brien, Kris Welham and Jake Bibby crossed for the Red Devils.
Castleford were already without influential players Adam Milner (ankle) and Jake Webster (rib) as they aimed to move closer to a first Super League title.
Eden was taken to hospital, with Castleford fearing a serious injury for a player who has scored 14 more tries than any other Super League player this season.
The injury overshadowed a fine performance by the Tigers, who maintained their unbeaten home league record this season to remain eight points clear of Leeds Rhinos.
Eden, who played five games for Salford during a loan spell in 2014, put Castleford ahead inside three minutes after a fine pass from Gale, who then hit the post with his conversion attempt - his only failure in the match.
Salford beat Castleford in March and the Red Devils soon levelled when Eden's handling error led to O'Brien jinking past two home players to score.
But a brilliant individual try from Roberts, powering through two Salford challenges, restored Castleford's advantage and they did not fall behind again.
The crucial moment came in the 24th minute with Eden's spectacular dive in the corner to score, but he landed badly and looked in pain as he left the field with his arm in a sling.
Salford scored their second try of the match, with Welham finishing off after Robert Lui had sprinted past three Castleford players, to trail 18-10 at half-time.
After the break, the visitors thought they had scored but Bibby, under pressure from Castleford's Jy Hitchcox, dropped the ball as he dived over the line.
That proved costly as Monaghan and Hardaker ran through for further scores for the hosts as Castleford recorded their 19th win in 22 Super League matches this season.
Salford's Bibby made up for his earlier error by crossing in the corner, but it was not enough to stop the Tigers.
Castleford coach Daryl Powell:
"I'm really disappointed for Greg Eden. He'll probably be out for the year with that, which is a massive blow. He's been going awesome for us.
"But (Joel) Monaghan is a proven winger and scored a couple of tries himself. We've got Jy Hitchcox who has done pretty well for us and Greg Minikin of course.
"This happens. Every team has to deal with a little bit of adversity. We'll just crack on.
"We weren't at our best tonight. We pulled some smart bits out in both halves and we made too many errors, particularly in the first half, but we defended really well for the most part."
Salford coach Ian Watson:
"I thought our middles stood up really well but we've been let down by our defence, which I don't think anyone will disagree with. It's something we need to fix up and we will do.
"We'll play Cas again and we'll see how we go then. We'll be better for this experience come the Super 8s.
"We'll come back here pretty confident if we have to play them here in the Super 8s."
Castleford Tigers: Hardaker; Hitchcox, Minikin, Shenton, Eden; Roberts, Gale; Millington, McShane, Sene-Lefao, Foster, McMeeken, Massey.
Replacements: Lynch, Springer, Monaghan, Larroyer.
Salford Red Devils: O'Brien; Bibby, Welham, Jones, Evalds; Carney, Dobson; Griffin, Tomkins, Murray, Murdoch-Masila, Lannon, Hauraki.

Rahm arrives at Royal Birkdale for The Open aged 22, the same as Ballesteros when he won the first of three titles.
The United States-based Spaniard has won twice since turning professional last year, and risen to seventh in the world rankings, from 137 in January.
"If I do a quarter of what Seve did, I'd probably be satisfied," said Rahm.
Ballesteros, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2008 and died in 2011, aged 54, won two Masters titles to add to his three Claret Jugs and was loved for his charismatic personality and revered for his ingenuity on the course.
He had shot to prominence in 1976 when he finished runner-up at Royal Birkdale and he played his final Open in 2006.
Rahm said: "I wasn't fortunate to be able to watch Seve much.
"I've seen his video here in 1976, his one winning in 1979 about a million times, how he plays the back nine without hitting the fairway, and makes four under par, it's absolutely unbelievable.
"To whoever compares me to him, I'm never going to be Seve. Seve was so unique, so special. If I'm somewhat compared to him, to see the hopes people have in me, it's amazing.
"I try to take it as a positive and embrace it. He's a great idol of mine and I try to emulate a lot of things he used to do, and a lot of that is the inspirational power he had, the way he brought masses together and people together."
Rahm won the Irish Open two weeks ago - a tournament Ballesteros won three times - to add to his Farmers Insurance Open victory on the PGA Tour in January.
After winning by six shots at Portstewart, Rahm said it proved to him that he could "perform properly on a links course".
He added: "I know I can read the putts right, I know I can interpret the wind and I can hit the shots and I can manage myself around the golf course properly enough to have a chance to win The Open."
DUP leader Arlene Foster said the "wide-ranging" pact was "good for Northern Ireland and the UK" - but where does it leave talks to restore power-sharing in Belfast?
Arlene Foster made a point of finishing her comments outside Number 10 by announcing she was returning immediately to Stormont to try to re-establish the power sharing executive.
Theresa May's deputy, Damian Green, also defended the financial largesse as an attempt to help Stormont politicians to overcome their differences.
After her Westminster election success, the DUP leader is going nowhere.
Her party argues that Sinn Féin should abandon its red line of refusing to share power with Mrs Foster until an inquiry into the controversial RHI heating scheme is over.
According to this logic, republicans should not look Theresa May's gift horse in the mouth, but concentrate on resuming their ministerial duties and help to hand out the extra cash.
Gerry Adams's initial response treats the DUP-Conservative deal like a "curate's egg" - that is "good in parts".
The Sinn Féin president acknowledged that the extra cash would "help to ease the enormous pressure" on Northern Ireland's public services.

But he added that "the devil is in the detail" - and attacked the agreement as providing a "blank cheque for a Tory Brexit".
With the deadline for the Stormont talks on Thursday, there is not much time for the politicians to ponder their options.
Sinn Fein will want to make more progress on their other objectives, like greater legal recognition for the Irish language.
It is uncertain whether republicans will erase their red line, but the DUP-Tory deal has given them something to think about.
Dun Deardail was constructed on a prominent knoll on Sgorr Chalum, a hill overlooking the River Nevis in Glen Nevis.
AOC Archaeology, which will lead volunteers in the dig, has described the site as "enigmatic".
Little is known about the origins of the fort, who built it or when it was constructed.
The first phase in a three-year project will examine the defences.
They were vitrified, meaning stone and wood in the defensive walls were burned at a high temperature for a long time to fuse the stone together.
Examples of vitrified forts can be found across Scotland, including in Aberdeenshire.
The Lochaber site has never before been excavated or dated with any accuracy.
Forestry Commission Scotland, which is supporting the project, said it may have been constructed in the first millennium BC or first millennium AD.
The commission said the fort's name may suggest a link with an ancient Irish myth called Deirdre of the Sorrows.
The legend tells of a chieftain's daughter who was said to be so beautiful that kings, lords and warriors fought and died to try to win her hand in marriage.
Martin Cook, of AOC, said: "We are really looking forward to getting started at Dun Deardail.
"This promises to be a really exciting excavation, yielding the first evidence to confirm the date and nature of this enigmatic hillfort."
The first phase of the excavation will take place from 14 to 28 August. Further digs are planned for 2016 and 2017.
Jeremy Corbyn unusually had the better of Theresa May in Prime Minister's Questions, brandishing leaked texts across the despatch box, claiming evidence that the Tories had given Surrey a special deal to avoid the chance of a damaging 15% council tax rise in a Conservative safe haven.
The council, and ministers, denied there had been any stitch-up.
But hours later, the government admitted they had agreed, in theory, that Surrey County Council could, like several others, try out keeping all of the business rates they raise from 2018, which could plug the gaps in funding in future.
That change is due to be in force across in England by 2020. Technically therefore, Surrey County Council has not been offered any additional funding. But the prospect of more flexibility over their own income in future could help fill the council's coffers, and seems to have eased some of their concerns.
But as a solution to easing the pressure in social care across the country now, the idea could fall far short.
Where there is high need for care for the elderly, there is likely to be a lower local tax base. Conversely, in more prosperous areas where councils can raise a lot of tax, there is likely to be less need for financial help.
One local government leader told me "all that would do is to lock in the existing iniquity to the system". And major changes to how councils pay their way could make a difference in the long term. Many argue, the social care crisis is now.
Medics, NHS leaders, local government leaders, MPs, former ministers, and of course many members of the public are day after day reporting concerns about the creaks in the social care system, arguing for big changes or big extra money.
There are though few signs of any extra cash on the way in the Budget next month. Privately ministers are hunting for solutions. The prime minister's allies say she is prepared to be "radical".
A Tory council might have been appeased by a promise to change their future funding - others may not be so easily satisfied. | Relatives of passengers and crew on Titanic are planning to mark the 100th anniversary of the disaster by sailing to the spot where the liner sank.

But the British number one battled back to break Williams on three occasions on her way to sealing victory shortly after midnight local time.

Federer, who claimed his first major for five years at the Australian Open in January, served for the match at 5-3 in the deciding set, only for Berdych to break to love and go on to force a deciding tie-break.
However, he choked at the crucial moment as his losing streak against Federer - which goes back to March 2013 - was extended to a seventh match.
Federer's progression means a meeting with long-time rival Rafael Nadal in Sunday's final remains a possibility.
Spain's 14-time Grand Slam champion Nadal, who lost to Federer in Melbourne, recorded a 6-2 6-3 win over American Jack Sock to reach the last four.

Patients with this sign on scans more often develop serious problems like heart failure, says the Glasgow team.
It's hoped the discovery could help with preventing such complications.
Half a million UK people have heart failure and heart attacks are the leading cause.
Heart failure can leave people unable to do simple everyday tasks, such as climbing the stairs.
Symptoms occur because the damaged heart doesn't have enough strength to pump blood around the body efficiently.
This makes the person breathless, tired and, untreated, means fluid can gather in the legs and lungs.
There are drugs that can help, but these have to be taken long-term.
Some people with heart failure may need heart surgery too.
The British Heart Foundation-funded work followed just over 200 patients to see how well they fared in the hours, weeks and months after being admitted to hospital with a heart attack.
The researchers, who are presenting their work at a heart conference in Manchester, ran extra tests on the patients while they were in hospital.
Prof Colin Berry and his team found that patients who had signs of bleeding in their heart muscle were more likely to develop later complications than patients who didn't have this damage.
This type of knowledge could ultimately help when doctors are deciding what treatment they should give and how long the patient should be closely monitored, says Prof Berry, research director at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank, Scotland.
He suspects the bleeds may partly be caused by the blood-thinning drugs that doctors need to give to patients to treat a heart attack. Heart attacks occur when the main blood vessels supplying the heart get blocked by a clot.
Prof Berry says the tiny blood vessels in the heart muscle tissue itself can also get blocked, and this makes them leaky.
He says nearly half of heart attack patients probably have some bleeding or bruising of the heart - although not all of them will develop heart failure.
"This might explain why patients who have had effective treatment for their heart attack can still have adverse outcomes.
"We now know heart muscle bleeding is an adverse complication that we want to avoid," he said.
His team is now investigating whether there might be a better way to treat patients who have had a more severe heart attack - by injecting blood-thinning or clot-busting drugs directly into the heart's blood vessels rather than intravenously, for example.
Spotting a heart attack
Not everyone experiences the same symptoms, but common ones include:
Chest pain - this may feel like pressure or squeezing and can radiate from the chest to the jaw, neck, arms and back
Shortness of breath
Feeling weak and/or lightheaded
It is important to seek urgent medical help if you think you or someone you know is having a heart attack because prompt treatment saves lives
Bydd trigolion Llanberis a Bethesda yn derbyn eu cyflenwad trydan o gynllun hydro newydd drwy ddefnyddio dŵr glaw sy'n disgyn yn Eryri.
Mae'r dŵr sy'n llifo yn Afon Goch ger Llanberis ac Afon Ogwen ym Methesda yn cael ei ddefnyddio i gynhyrchu trydan drwy ddefnyddio technoleg hydro.
Mae mentrau hydro Padarn Peris a Dyffryn Ogwen yn ddau o nifer o gynlluniau tebyg sydd bellach yn gwerthu trydan i'r grid cenedlaethol.
Bydd y cynllun yn cyflenwi trydan i drigolion cymunedau sydd wedi cyfrannu £700,000 rhwng y ddau brosiect.
Mae'r corff syn cynrychioli mentrau fel Ynni Padarn yn dweud fod cynnydd yn nhrethi'r mentrau, ar gyfartaledd o 300%.
Mae llywodraeth yr Alban yn cynnig ad-daliad trethi busnes i fentrau cymunedol o'r fath 100%, tra bod unrhyw gynnydd yn Lloegr ddim mwy na £600.
Mae gobaith bydd y fenter yn gwneud elw i'r bobl sydd wedi buddsoddi yn y ddau gynllun.
Dywedodd Cyfarwyddwr Ynni Ogwen / Peris, Keith Jones, fyddai pobl yn derbyn rhwng £25,000 i £40,000 yn ôl i'r cymunedau i helpu gyda phrosiectau cynaliadwy.
Ond ychwanegodd bod pryder ynglŷn â faint o drethi busnes bydd yn rhaid ei dalu.
"Dwi'n gofyn i lywodraeth San Steffan am help.
"Rydym yn gwybod bod rhaid i ni dalu trethi, mae hynny ond yn deg ond pan mae 30% o'ch elw cyfan yn mynd ar dreth, does 'na'r un busnes yn gallu goroesi", meddai.
Aelod Cynulliad Plaid Cymru dros Arfon, Sian Gwenllian agorodd y cynllun yn swyddogol yn Llanberis ac mae hi'n awyddus i geisio datrys y broblem dreth.
"Mae 'na ateb reit syml i'r broblem," meddai.
"Mae'r Alban wedi rhoi gostyngiad i gynlluniau ynni cymunedol fel bod nhw ddim yn gorfod talu cymaint ar drethi busnes.
"Mi fase gostyngiad yn gwneud byd o wahaniaeth neu mae peryg i'r elw cymunedol fynd ar goll a'i lyncu yn llwyr ar drethi busnes.
"Mae 'na weledigaeth i gynyddu ynni cymunedol ar un llaw ond ychydig bach o ddal yn ôl pan mae'n dod at helpu'r cynlluniau hynny ar drethi busnes.
"Mi fyddai cael gostyngiad yn arwydd clir fod Llywodraeth Cymru o blaid ynni adnewyddol, meddai."
Dwedodd llefarydd ar ran Mark Drakeford Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros gyllid a llywodraeth leol: "Bydd cynllun newydd o gymorth gyda threthi busnes yn cael ei gyflwyno flwyddyn nesa."
Dywedodd hefyd ei fod yn "barod i wrando ar geisiadau unigol".

But why are thousands now stranded at sea? And how are Myanmar's neighbours responding?
BBC News explains, in 90 seconds.

Wildlife experts have applied to Natural Resources Wales (NRW) for a licence to release 10 animals at an undisclosed location in south Wales this year.
But farming unions are worried about potential damage to land and crops.
NRW said it would have to consider the impact on existing wildlife and land use.
The Welsh Beaver Project said there would be a public consultation following the re-submission of the application - which was first made more than a year ago.
The group, which has previously identified the River Rheidiol in Ceredigion as a preferred location to release the animals, said they can be beneficial for ecology and help with habitat restoration.
Scotland recently listed beavers as a protected species following a successful reintroduction and a pair were released on the River Otter in Devon in May to boost the genetic diversity of a group already in existence.
But Dafydd Jarrett, policy advisor for NFU Cymru, said its members needed clarity about the scheme and its potential impact on agricultural land and livestock.
"Arguably it is not necessarily a reintroduction, it is an introduction of a species," he said. "We haven't had them in Wales for many centuries now.
"We do not know really what diseases they carry and the affect to other species. There needs to be very, very careful thought before they are brought in."
Mr Jarrett added that the union had been in touch with NRW and was awaiting a date for a meeting to discuss the issues.
The Farmers' Union of Wales said more work needed to be done before beavers were reintroduced, if at all.
"Beavers can threaten property, the dams they build cause problems for migrating fish, they can damage agricultural crops and negatively affect other natural resources, not to mention flooding," a spokesman said.
"There has to be a compensation and control scheme in place and there has to be a contingency plan."
A body found by North Wales Police on Saturday has now been identified as that of Ms Kearns, 43, who had been missing since 7 May.
Anthony James Bird, 48, will appear before Llandudno Magistrates Court on Monday.
Det Ch Insp Neil Harrison said: "Our thoughts are with Tracy's family and friends at this difficult time."
"I am conscious of the impact the incident has had locally, and I would like to thank the community of Kinmel Bay for all their patience and support over the past five days," he added.
In March Ofsted said leadership, pupil safety and pupil achievement at Ely College were all "inadequate".
But it has now emerged a Department for Education (DfE) adviser praised the "strength" of leadership at the Cambridgeshire academy last October.
The DfE said it had since issued a warning notice to the school.
The National Union of Teachers (NUT) said the differing views of Ofsted and the DfE adviser highlighted how difficult it was to assess school performance.
The DfE adviser, acting on behalf of the regional schools commissioner, wrote to the school saying: "Our DfE visit to the College and meeting its leaders and governors fully endorsed the Ofsted and SEF (self-evaluation form) evaluation that leadership and management represent an overall strength.
"The vision of achieving together in partnership with students, parents, governors and the local community shines through all the college's practices, curricula and procedures."
But Ofsted's inspection in February found leadership and management, pupil safety, quality of teaching and pupil achievement were all "inadequate".
The school, which has nearly 1,300 pupils, is run by CfBT Trust, which oversees 19 academies and free schools.
Cambridgeshire County Council has safeguarding responsibilities towards the school.
Emails from Keith Grimwade, the council's service director for learning, were released after a Freedom of Information request. They reveal he told councillors the Ofsted report was: "One of the worst reports we have seen and is bound to attract a lot of attention."
Inspectors also raised concerns that "some younger students, those with disabilities or special educational needs felt unsafe" and that "some unaccompanied" visitors were not checked, posing "a risk to the safeguarding of students".
The DfE would not say whether it stood by the adviser's judgement.
In a statement, a DfE spokesman said: "Following Ely College's poor reported 2014 exam results, our education advisers informally visited the school in October to discuss the actions being taken to address underperformance.
"The advisers talked extensively to the school about its poor exam performance.
"We have since issued the trust with a warning notice, which requires the school to set out how it will improve standards.
"We expect all schools issued with notices to take effective and immediate action to ensure pupils receive the best possible education."
After the Ofsted report recommended Ely College be put in special measures, principal Catherine Jenkinson-Dix and others in the senior management team resigned.
Despite updating the name of the new head teacher, the CfBT Trust was continuing to claim its most recent Ofsted report rated Ely College as "good" until the error was highlighted by the BBC.
A spokeswoman for CfBT Trust said the error had been accidental.
The trust said its safeguarding team audited the college's procedures after receiving a draft copy of the Ofsted report adding: "The new senior leadership team at the school have begun implementing the recommendations."
Jon Duveen, Cambridgeshire secretary of the NUT, said: "There are concerns at the NUT about the quality of judgements and the consistency of judgements that are not being addressed at the moment."
The regional schools commissioner Dr Tim Coulson is yet to comment on the findings of the DfE adviser acting on his behalf.
Keegan Hirst, who is separated from his wife, said the time had come "to be true to myself".
The father-of-two told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show he did not want "to go on some kind of crusade".
But the Batley Bulldogs captain said he hoped his decision to come out would "help break down stereotypes".
Hirst announced his sexuality in an interview with the Sunday Mirror, hours before playing in a match against local rivals Dewsbury Rams.
The 27-year-old prop said the reaction at the game had been fantastic.
"There's not any gay people in Batley, not that I know of," he told the BBC. "I thought it would be a bit of a taboo, a bit of an issue, but it wasn't at all.
"There was nothing but support and well-wishers yesterday at the ground from fans, players, the club. And then social media's gone mad. It's really overwhelming and quite humbling.
"You expect a bit of stick from fans, from players - you get it whether you're gay or not - but there wasn't any of that."
Hirst said he only recently came to accept he was gay when his marriage broke down.
"I suppose there's been feelings there for a while but I was convinced it would go away.
"I just thought it was a phase - it was inconceivable for me to think that I could be gay.
"I lived my life normally as society says we should - have a girlfriend, have a wife."
Hirst - who started his career at the Bradford Bulls Academy - said his behaviour changed as he struggled with his identity.
"I'd go out for days at a time. I didn't act like a good husband... like a father should act. It was never a conscious decision... maybe thinking back it was a bit of escapism."
Very few professional rugby players have chosen to come out.
In 1995, Australian Rugby League player Ian Roberts, then aged 30, became the first high-profile player to publicly reveal he was gay.
Welsh rugby union star Gareth Thomas came out in 2009 aged 35 and switched to league the following year.
Hirst added: "I suppose in sport it's still a bit of a taboo, but judging by the feedback I've had it's not as big a taboo any more.
"I don't want to go on some kind of crusade, but pave the way for other people to be able to come out, to feel comfortable enough in their own skin to be who they really are."
Nigel Wood, the chief executive of the Rugby Football League, told the Guardian the sport was proud to be open to all.
"I feel it's hardly an issue worthy of comment because why shouldn't a player come out and say that they're gay?"
ScotRail said a revised timetable would come into place on 22 October, lasting until December.
Some services are being cancelled and many journey times will be longer during the works.
The engineering is being carried out to increase "overall reliability" and to pave the way for new electric trains, ScotRail said.
An interactive timeline has been created by the rail operator to help customers plan their journeys. Some services will be replaced by buses and queuing systems will be in place at key stations.
Special arrangements will be made to help people travelling from the Aberdeen area to the Betfred Cup semi final at Hampden and those going to the autumn rugby internationals at Murrayfield.
Jacqueline Taggart, ScotRail Alliance customer experience director, said: "We are going through a massive period of change on Scotland's railway. The work that we are carrying out over the next few months will bring about a revolution in rail - with more and better trains, more services and more seats than ever before.
"However, while we transform the railway, there is inevitably going to be some impact on people's services.
"We are doing everything we can to minimise this, and to keep people moving."
Ms Taggart added: "No-one likes having their journey changed. However, this short term disruption will lead to a more reliable, better rail network that will rank amongst the very best."
The 8,000-capacity York Community Stadium was originally forecast to cost £37m and open in Spring 2017.
The council said costs had risen by £7m to £44m due to delays and increased construction costs, and it would not be operational until 2018.
York City Football Club said despite the "frustrating" wait there was now "room for optimism".
The council's contribution to the scheme is now more than £14m, compared to an original estimate of £8m, which it planned to borrow.
The authority's executive is to be asked to approve a further £5.4m of borrowing and provide £1m from its venture fund to bridge the gaps at a meeting on 17 March.
The stadium, which will be home to York City Football Club and York City Knights Rugby League Club, was first proposed in 2009.
Chris Steward, the council's Conservative leader, said he remained fully committed to the scheme.
"In 2015 significant budget overruns emerged and officers have worked hard to address these," he said.
"Through these proposals we anticipate the site will be completed by winter 2017, which will provide a wide-range of significant benefits for the city, including for the city's football and rugby league teams."
Plans were finally approved for the site at Jockey Lane, Huntington, in 2015.
Jason McGill, York City chairman, said: "It's in the hand of the executive now and there is room for optimism.
"From a football club's point of view, we will be looking at using the stadium for games at the start of the 2018/19 season and pre-season matches in July to open the stadium."
The development also includes a leisure centre, cinema complex and community facilities.
The country has 109 high-performance computing systems on the biannual Top500 list of supercomputers, up 196% from 37 just six months ago.
The most powerful supercomputer, China's Tianhe-2, also retained the top spot for the sixth consecutive time.
In contrast, the US has seen the number of its supercomputers decline.
The US has 200 machines in the rankings, which is the largest number from a single country. But, that total number has fallen to the lowest level since computer scientists started compiling the list 22 years ago.
Tianhe-2 was created by China's National University of Defense Technology and is being used at a supercomputer centre in the southern coastal city of Guangzhou.
It is capable of performing 33.86 quadrillion calculations in one second, which is almost twice the speed of the second most powerful supercomputer on the list - the US energy department's Titan.
Supercomputers are developed to perform complex simulations or applications to help scientific research in a wide range of industries such as predicting weather forecasts to making drug discoveries and DNA sequencing.
Rajnish Arora, vice president of enterprise computing at market research firm IDC Asia Pacific, said China's rise does not necessarily mean the US is under-investing, but is more to do with the evolution of China's economy and businesses.
"When China started off appearing on the centre stage of the global economy in the 80s and 90s, it was predominately a manufacturing hub," he told the BBC.
"All the IP (intellectual property) or design work would happen in Europe or the US and the companies would just send manufacturing or production jobs to China.
"Now as these companies become bigger, they want to invest in technical research capabilities, so that they can create a lot more innovation and do basic design and engineering work."
The Chinese government and companies want to become the creators and not just producer of products that are being designed elsewhere, he added.
David Schibeci at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in Western Australia said that while the Top500 list is a good "general rule of thumb", it is not the final arbiter of the value of supercomputing services.
"I'd expect ranking systems to develop a focus on how much valuable research is produced by these systems and the outcomes that benefit the world," he said.
"Nations like China have a great opportunity to take a leading role in the HPC (high-performance computing) space but it's important that they focus on research support and upskilling of staff rather than just raw numbers for the Top 500."
Chinese companies are also taking a lead as manufacturers of supercomputers, according to the Top500. Chinese firm Sugon overtook IBM in the systems category with 49, while IBM ranks fourth with 45 systems. US tech giant Hewlett-Packard is at the top of the list with 156 supercomputer systems.
However, the rankings of the world's top five supercomputers has remained unchanged since June 2013. Mr Arora of IDC says this is in part to do with the significant investment required to build a supercomputer.
"Companies need to assess whether they really need that large a system to solve the problems they have," he said.
The availability of money is driving Chinese investment in the industry, added Andreas Wicenec, professor of data intensive research at the University of Western Australia.
"[It is] to show a high, almost disruptive impact in a field that was completely dominated by the US for decades," he said. "At this point in time, the impact of all these computers is not visible in research outputs in the fields I am used to monitoring more closely."
However, if China opened its vast computer resources to international collaborators, its impact in the research field could change very fast, he added.
A report by former Lord Chief Justice Lord Woolf says mistakes and errors of judgement damaged the LSE's reputation.
The school's director, Sir Howard Davies, resigned in March over a £1.5m gift from a foundation led by Colonel Gaddafi's son Saif, a former student.
The LSE says it accepts all Lord Woolf's recommendations.
The LSE's centre for global governance had received £300,000 of the donation from the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, when Lord Woolf was appointed to head the independent external inquiry in March 2011.
The LSE's commercial arm had also secured a contract worth £2.2m to train Libyan civil servants.
Lord Woolf's remit was to look at how the LSE came to ignore warnings and risk its reputation by forging close links with the former Gaddafi regime.
The institution's involvement with Libya caused embarrassment at the time of the Libyan uprising in February and led students there to stage a protest.
Lord Woolf says LSE's links with Libya exposed it to a "significant degree of risk" which would have been missed, had the Gaddafi regime not collapsed.
He says links between the LSE and Libya were allowed to grow unchecked, without due diligence assessments taking place.
He describes what he calls a "chapter of failures" in the way the proposed donation was scrutinised by the LSE's council, saying that due diligence "remained at best embryonic".
"The actual source of money gifted... was never established", the report says, and "Saif Gaddafi's word alone was relied upon."
He also concludes that the timing of the donation, six weeks after Saif Gaddafi was awarded a PhD, was "unfortunate", "risky", "indicative of naivety at the LSE" and gave the impression that Saif had "purchased his degree".
Lord Woolf says academics and staff acted in, what they perceived to be the best interests of the School, but the donation would not have been accepted if its source had been properly checked.
He singles out Sir Howard Davies for criticism, concluding that "despite his great experience and ability, responsibility for what went wrong must rest with the [former] director."
He also blames LSE administrators Fiona Kirk and Adrian Hall for their roles in the affair and the former head of the centre for global governance, Professor David Held, who was closely involved in supervising Saif Gaddafi's PhD work and in securing the donation.
Professor Held announced he was leaving the LSE last month.
The report also says that Saif al-Islam Gaddafi "duped" his academic supervisors by receiving extensive outside help in preparing his PhD thesis.
It says he was admitted to study at the LSE's philosophy department in 2003 because of an "idealism factor" that he might improve Libya - even though he had already been rejected by other LSE departments on the basis that his academic standards were not sufficiently high.
A separate University of London panel has been investigating allegations that Saif Gaddafi's PhD thesis might contain plagiarism or have been ghostwritten.
That report is not being made public but BBC News understands that it will not recommend that Gaddafi be stripped of his LSE doctorate.
Lord Woolf makes 15 recommendations in his report.
These include setting up an ethics code to govern potential risks to the LSE's reputation and the installation of a new body to oversee the admission of postgraduate students and their studies.
He also calls for new guidance on the amount of outside assistance a postgraduate student can receive and new policies on donations to the School.
LSE director Professor Judith Rees said: "The publication of this report will help LSE move on from this unhappy chapter in its otherwise celebrated history.
"It is consoling that Lord Woolf finds that no academic or other staff member at LSE acted other than in what they perceived to be the best interests of the School.
"He also describes the work of LSE Enterprise in training Libyan professionals and civil servants as of merit. We will now work to take LSE forward, learning the lessons of the report and implementing Lord Woolf's recommendations."
The next Irish parliament will be a divided one, with a definite split between left and right.
On one side are the parties seen as part of the country's establishment.
Coalition partners Fine Gael and the Labour Party have been punished by the people because they have felt the pain of years of austerity.
Fine Gael find themselves in an awkward position - its vote has collapsed yet it is still the biggest party.
That leaves its leader, Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Enda Kenny, with the responsibility of trying to form a government but without the power to do so.
Fine Gael had hoped to continue with the current coalition but the Labour Party's vote collapsed.
At a count centre in Dublin, Labour campaigners looked nothing short of shell-shocked.
When the final candidate is elected it will show the most stable government would involve Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael working together.
The idea of Ireland's two big parties in coalition is dismissed by some.
Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil share almost a century of rivalry, having emerged from this country's bitter civil war.
Commentator after commentator has discussed the potential end of "civil war politics".
And in the political world of 2016 it is fair to say the parties have much in common.
But, many believe Fianna Fáil would sit uncomfortably as any kind of junior partner to Fine Gael, which it polled relatively shortly behind.
Fianna Fáil's vote has recovered significantly after its collapse at the 2011 election, when people blamed them for the Republic of Ireland's economic crisis.
But, it is still in second place, which is a disadvantage in any negotiation.
There is another reason why both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil would be concerned about the prospect of a so-called "grand coalition".
An alliance between those parties would make Sinn Féin the main opposition party.
Like the anti-austerity and independent candidates whose support has risen with the public dissatisfaction with traditional politicians, Sinn Féin wants to keep its distance from the major parties.
Again and again it has said it will not be a junior partner to either of the big two.
For their part, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil spent much of the campaign insisting they would have nothing to do with the party that was once viewed as the political wing of the IRA.
Sinn Féin might try to find alliances among the many left-of-centre candidates that have been elected.
And there is the opportunity for all the parties to try to woo the new independents who have won seats.
But would that make a stable government?
It all leaves one simple question - can a coalition be formed?
When I asked the Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams if he was prepared for the possibility that Ireland might have to return to the polls, he had a simple answer.
"We are always on an election-footing".
The copy of the 1559 Thomas Gemini anatomy book is going on display at a University of Cambridge exhibition.
A triangular piece of a page depicting female genitals was removed by the book's original owner.
Curator Shelley Hughes said it showed religion and superstition delayed understanding of the female anatomy.
She said the book's owner was "disturbed by its depiction of a semi-dissected female torso".
"The offending part, a neat triangle of paper on which the vagina would have been drawn, has been carefully cut away.
"Sin and female flesh were held in close association in 16th Century society with naked women often portrayed as the servants of Satan."
The book will be displayed at St John's College on Saturday 25 March as part of an exhibition called Under The Knife At St John's: A Medical History Of Disease And Dissection.
The 16th Century was a time of medical revolution with scientists improving their understanding of the body from human dissections.
The exhibition shows how knowledge of the body's structure emerged as the power of superstition and religion weakened.
Normally men attending the horse racing event in the Royal Enclosure must wear black or grey morning dress with a waistcoat, tie and a top hat.
Women in the Royal Enclosure must not expose their shoulders.
Nick Smith of Ascot Racecourse said the jackets rule had not been enforced after entry due to the hot weather.
He said: "We took the decision early in the day, in the light of the hot weather, not to enforce the jackets rule after entry - common sense was applied."
The dress code at Ascot Racecourse's Royal Enclosure involves a number of restrictions for men and women.
Dresses must not be strapless, off the shoulder, halter-neck, spaghetti straps and or have straps narrower than 1in (2.5cm) in the exclusive area.
This year women were permitted to wear jumpsuits for the first time, as long as they reached to the ankle.

However, midriff-baring outfits or fascinators are still not allowed in the exclusive area.
An Ascot spokeswoman said a relaxation of the dress code had "never happened before".
As temperatures soared at Royal Ascot today, race-goers tried to stay cool with sunglasses, parasols and fans.

PCSO Gary Etchells was attacked by a man armed with a carving knife at a flat in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, in 2006.
It pierced his carotid artery and permanently damaged a vocal chord.
The 57-year-old, from Hollingworth, has been honoured for his services to the Greater Manchester community.
The father-of-three said: "I've had lots of highs and some lows in my job over the last 13 years but I wouldn't change a thing.
"I love helping people and being out and about in the community.
"I am absolutely honoured to receive an MBE and I'm so shocked that I've been chosen. It's not really sunk in."
Mr Etchells will attend a presentation ceremony at Buckingham Palace later this year.
The call comes after researchers linked suffering repeated concussions from playing sport with memory loss, depression and early dementia.
Dr Barry O'Driscoll wants mandatory concussion awareness training for all grassroots rugby coaches and players.
He quit his IRB job claiming the body trivialised concussion. It denies this.
It is widely accepted the game of rugby has changed dramatically over the years, a change that has made suffering injuries like concussion more prevalent.
Dr Gareth Jones, Cardiff Blues team doctor, said: "It used to be called a contact sport, but it's now a collision sport.
"The guys are getting bigger, they're getting stronger, the impact forces are huge, and certainly there's been a change even at the younger age groups.
"Inevitably, the collisions are getting greater and greater as this goes on, resulting in increased numbers of injuries."
Every four years an international conference takes place to discuss concussion in sport.
The last meeting was in Zurich in 2012 and a consensus statement was agreed which lays out best practice.
The IRB is a signatory to this statement and says its concussion strategies are based on it.
He said his call was directed at the unions in Wales, England, Scotland and Ireland.
The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) does not have mandatory training on concussion for grassroots coaches or referees.
Dr O'Driscoll told BBC Wales: "At the grassroots level - so all the way through - I would like to see a mandatory training as part of coaching courses [and] as part of schools lessons with young rugby players.
"They don't need to be experts on brain surgery. What they need to do is get across a) the signs and symptoms and b) what to do."
The WRU said it is committed to ensuring that player welfare is at the forefront of any decision making, and that it followed the guidelines set by the IRB.
It also said it is looking at devising a nationwide education programme for all levels of the game.
In England the Rugby Football Union (RFU) said it is an issue that is taken "seriously".
"This year we have distributed 200,000 'Headcase' cards to the game giving advice on recognising concussion and stressing the 'if in doubt, sit it out' message.
"Online resources include dedicated area of rfu.com gives advice for players, parents, teachers, coaches, medics and other volunteers.
"Since 2008 around 35,000 English coaches have taken the IRB's Rugby Ready course which includes a concussion element."
The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) said: "The IRFU observe all international best practices, as set out by the International Rugby Board.
"We have in place and continue to develop education and training campaigns to ensure player welfare is prioritised at all times."
A call for concussion awareness in schools has also been made by the father of a 14-year-old boy from Northern Ireland who died two years ago after playing a match for his school team.
Ben Robinson was knocked unconscious and suffered from concussion after several high-impact collisions during the game but he was allowed to carry on playing.
He collapsed again just before the end of the game and later died in hospital.
His father Peter said he would still be alive if he had been taken off the pitch.
"At the start of the second half he was involved in a heavy tackle and he lay on the ground for a minute-and-a-half being treated," he said.
"He was assisted to his feet... his body language looked like an old man when he was walking around but he kept being involved in heavy tackles.
"It's ironic to think if he'd had a blood injury he'd have been taken off and he would be here today."
Mr Robinson is pressing for concussion awareness to be taught in schools across the UK.
"We've had our fair share of head injuries over the years as I'm sure is the case with all clubs.
"We're in a lucky situation with qualified therapists etc, but at the grassroots level not everybody can manage that.
"We're in Division One but as you go down the divisions people these days sometimes find it hard to find a coach, let alone a therapist or a doctor, to attend on a Saturday.
"In that case, I think it's important that coaches or committee members or physios have training, particularly when it comes to head injuries which can have such a devastating effect."
And next month he will meet Welsh Education Minister Huw Lewis to discuss bringing the idea to Wales, having already met Scotland and Northern Ireland's ministers.
"I've played rugby down the years - I don't want to change the game of rugby I just want to make it safer," Mr Robinson added.
"Have all the physicality you want, just make sure at grass roots level it's a safe playing environment for the children.
"We just want to make sure that it doesn't happen again and that we can educate people and maybe that helps numb the pain in some way."
The IRB said its approach to the issue was driven by evidence-based expert research.
"Concussion management is at the very heart of the IRB's player welfare strategy designed to protect players at all levels of the game and promote the very highest standards of education, coaching and medical care," a spokesperson said.
Mr Donaldson will meet the site's owners INTU later this week.
He says the new application could include a hotel along with the department store.
The additional shops were one of the controversial aspects of the former planning application.
It was withdrawn in 2013.
Mr Donaldson says the new application will be made later this year.
Last week, the High Court ruled that Environment Minister Mark Durkan had no legal power to approve a new planning blueprint for Greater Belfast without consent from his Executive colleagues.
Mr Donaldson said the ruling paved the way forward for fresh proposals for John Lewis.
One of the contentious aspects of BMAP (the Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan) restricted the future expansion of Sprucefield to bulky goods only.
That appeared to be a major obstacle to a retail type store such as John Lewis. But, with the High Court having ruled on Friday that BMAP was unlawfully adopted by Mark Durkan, an obstacle appears to have been removed and a new planning application is probable.
This has been going on for more than 10 years. It has not really been about a John Lewis store per se, but additional new retail units going in alongside it.
Back in 2009, we were talking about 19 other units, before then it had been even more than that.
The fear and the source of much of the objection historically was that such a retail development would wreck town centre business in places like Lisburn.
So it became an argument about out of town shopping centres, with Belfast and Banbridge all weighing in to object when the issue was raised at a planning inquiry.
"The owner of Sprucefield Parks has been waiting for this moment when the High Court would rule on this application by First Minister Arlene Foster," Mr Donaldson told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster on Monday.
"Arlene [Foster] has been successful in her application to have the decision of the environment minister ruled unlawful. I believe that will pave the way for this process to move forward.
"I will be meeting with the development team in London this week to discuss the next steps and I believe we will see a planning application coming forward in the near future.
"I am confident that will include a proposal for a John Lewis store at Sprucefield."
Nourane Houas was flown to Oman after being freed on Monday, the ICRC said.
Oman said her release had been secured at the request of the French authorities and "in co-ordination with Yemeni parties" whom it did not name.
Ms Houas was seized by armed men on her way to work in the capital Sanaa, which is controlled by Houthi rebels.
She was travelling with a colleague when their car was intercepted, but her colleague was released unharmed a few hours later.
No group has said it was behind the abduction, and the ICRC has said it will not comment on the identity of the armed men who seized her, their motives or the details of her release.
"We are relieved and thankful that Nourane is now back with us, safe and sound," said the ICRC head of delegation in Yemen, Alexandre Faite.
"Her abduction was a terrible ordeal for her, as well as for her family, friends and colleagues. And it has obviously dealt a real blow to our humanitarian work."
After landing in Muscat on an Omani air force flight, Ms Houas thanked "the sultanate, without which [her] release would not have happened", according to the official ONA news agency.
French President Francois Hollande praised her "courage during her long detention", adding that he "shares in her family's joy" over her release.
He also "expressed his gratitude to all those who allowed for a happy ending to this ordeal", notably Oman's Sultan Qaboos.
Oman declined to join the Saudi-led coalition that launched a military campaign in Yemen in March 2015 after the Houthis took full control of Sanaa and forced the country's government into exile, and has mediated between the warring parties.
The United Nations estimates that at least 3,800 civilians have been killed and 6,700 others injured in the fighting, while three million others have been displaced.

After a pregnancy lasting 22 months, Thi Hi Way, a 34-year-old Asian elephant at the zoo, gave birth to the female on Thursday afternoon.
Zookeepers said the calf, which is yet to be named, was on its feet within three minutes and is doing well.
Rangers, promoted last season, lie a point behind leaders Celtic having played a game more ahead of Saturday's first Old Firm game of the campaign.
"Rangers are OK at the moment," said McCoist, who led them to two promotions between 2011 and 2014.
"The building process is still quietly in operation. I think it is still going to be two or three years."
McCoist was manager when the Govan club entered administration and then liquidation in 2012 before re-emerging in the bottom tier of Scottish football.
"I was never of the opinion that Rangers were going to come in and set the place on fire and win the league by some considerable distance," he said of the side now managed by Mark Warburton.
"What we are seeing from Rangers at this moment is what I expected it to be.
"There will be games where things don't go their way. Obviously the standard of opposition is better than it has been in the last few years, so they are finding their feet.
"There has been some good performances, one or two average performances."
McCloist acknowledged that fans of the Ibrox club will be demanding early success.
"I know what Rangers fans and Celtic fans are like," he said.
"As fanatical as they are in their support of the team, they are not the most patient and some of them perhaps are not the most realistic.
"Rangers and, indeed, Celtic have improvement in them, particularly Rangers, if they want to challenge for the title and cups on a regular basis and get back on to the European scene."
McCoist believes Rangers can take encouragement from last season's Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic, albeit in a penalty shootout.
"Celtic will go into the game strong favourites, but they went into the last game strong favourites and didn't win," said the former Scotland striker.
"Rangers played exceptionally well.
"I thought Celtic had good chances to score, but I thought Rangers were far and away the better footballing team that day and they must take heart from that because they passed the ball as well as I have seen them pass it in a long time and they will be looking for a similar performance.
"But the game being at Celtic Park will be a big difference.
"The home support will be in the vast majority and hopefully the Rangers players will handle that OK."
Pippa Funnell and Billy The Biz will replace Taylor, while Tina Cook is called up as travelling reserve.
William Fox-Pitt, Kitty King and Gemma Tattersall complete the team for Rio.
"I'm really gutted and sorry for the owners and my support team." said Taylor. "I wish Pip and all the team the best of luck out in Rio."
Three-time Olympic medallist Funnell, 47, said she was "devastated" for Taylor, but added that she felt "privileged and honoured to be part of the team".
Funnell has previously won medals at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and in Athens four years later.
After originally being appointed second reserve, Cook told the BBC that she was disappointed not to have been selected for the team.

The ivory, confiscated in New York and Philadelphia, was sent up a conveyor belt into a rock crusher.
The Wildlife Conservation Society says the global ivory trade leads to the slaughter of up to 35,000 elephants a year in Africa.
Actress and activist Kristin Davis warned people not to buy an ivory.
"Animals are being slaughtered every 15 minutes and it's a very gruesome death. We are going to lose elephants in 10 years if we don't do something," the Sex in the City actress said.
Wildlife Conservation Society spokesman John Calvelli said: "This is an illegal product and we feel that burning it or destroying it gets it out of commercial use and, therefore, there's less of a chance for it to find its way into the marketplace."
The ivory was displayed on a table and placed on the belt before being ground into dust.
Sally Jewell, secretary of the Department of the Interior, said: "Today's ivory crush will serve as a stark reminder to the rest of the world that the United States will not tolerate wildlife crimes."
Much of the ivory was confiscated from Philadelphia antiques dealer Victor Gordon, who was jailed for two and a half years in 2014.
The boy severed an artery on a plate glass window in County Antrim in 2011, suffering life changing injuries.
His mother complained to the Ombudsman's office several years later.
She alleged police had failed to properly investigate if her son had been deliberately pushed.
An initial 999 call made by one of five friends, who were with the teenager at the time, indicated that he had been pushed through the window. However a second 999 call, made several minutes later, reported that he had kicked it.
The teenager's mother told the Ombudsman that the police investigation had been closed down after two week, despite her being told that her son had denied kicking the window and had a memory of being pushed.
She also alleged that police had failed to ensure her son's phone was properly examined, and that officers may have missed evidence.
When interviewed, the investigating police officer accepted that the case had been quickly suspended pending new evidence. However, he said he had done so only after making a series, after which he was satisfied no further investigation was needed.
The officer also told the Ombudsman's investigation that the only indication the teenager had been pushed was the initial 999 call. He added that the friend who made the call had explained that the injured boy did not want to get into trouble for kicking the window and had asked him to say he was pushed.
However the Police Ombudsman's investigation found a number of issues with how the officer dealt with the case.
It said there was a "limited examination of text messages" exchanged between the boys who had been at the scene.
The investigation also found that photographs of the scene were lost and that there was no forensic examination of the window to establish whether the damage caused was consistent with the boy having been pushed through it,.
The officer's supervisor was also found to have not properly supervised the investigation.
The Ombudsman found no evidence that the police investigation had been compromised as a result of links between police officers and the families of two of the boys who had been at the scene.
The PSNI has since implemented the Ombudsman's recommendation that the investigating officer and his supervisor should both be disciplined for their handling of the case.
We could hardly claim to know the complexity of the planetary systems that lie beyond the asteroid belt, the chronology of the early Solar System, or the wide range of extraterrestrial environments where biological processes might be at work, were it not for the many exploratory expeditions that we have mounted to these far-flung worlds.
But perhaps, above all, the greatest, most profound legacy of the quest we have undertaken to understand our origins is perspective... that crystalline, uncorrupted view of our cosmic place that erodes all delusion and confronts us with a powerful recognition of ourselves - a recognition that never fails to move us.
It is surely for this reason that of all the millions of images taken of the worlds in our Solar System since the beginning of the space age, those that reach deeper into the human heart than any other, are those of our own home, as it might be seen in the skies of other worlds: small, alone in the blackness of never-ending space and awash in the blue of its blue, blue oceans.
Cassini's first offering to this collection, taken in September 2006 when the spacecraft was placed, for scientific purposes, at significant remove in the shadow of Saturn, has become one of our most beloved images.
This is an image that draws gasps from anyone seeing it for the first time. Small wonder: in it, we behold something human eyes had never before seen - a backlit view of the full resplendent glory of Saturn's rings during an eclipse of the Sun, the smoky blue ring created by the exhalations of the small moon, Enceladus, and - best of all - a sight of our planet, Earth, a billion miles in the distance.
This is an image without peer, an image that can make one weep with joy, love, concern, an abiding sense of fellowship, and unspeakable awe.
As I have contemplated the inevitable and approaching end of our history-making travels through the Saturn system, I have longed to repeat that remarkable image, make it even better, and turn it into something very special.
I imagined making it an opportunity for all of us to appreciate how far we have come in the exploration of our cosmic neighbourhood and to celebrate the uniqueness of our lush, life-sustaining world and the preciousness of the life on it.
I wanted to repeat that image, only this time, tell all the world about it in advance. Proclaim it to everyone everywhere: "On this day, at this time, you, the Earth and everybody on it will have their picture taken ... from a billion miles away!"
This could be a day, I thought, when all the inhabitants of Earth, in unison, could issue a full-throated, cosmic shout-out and smile a big one for the cameras far, far away.
And so it will be.
On 19 July 2013, the Cassini cameras will be turned to image Saturn and its entire ring system during the planet's eclipse of the Sun.
In the lower right, among the outer diffuse rings that encircle Saturn, will be a small speck of blue light with all of us on it.
A mosaic of images covering the rings from one end to the other, some taken in those filters that are used to make a natural colour scene - that looks like what human eyes would see - will be taken at this time.
Also to be recorded: an image of the highest resolution that we are capable of taking, in which we will find Earth and its Moon. One will be a colourless, star-like point of light. The other, of course, will be a pale blue dot.
So, at the appointed time, straighten up, brush your hair, go outside, gather with friends and family, think a thought or two about the starkness of our whereabouts, the beauty of our home planet, the marvel of our existence, and the magnificence of our accomplishments. And then, look up and smile.

The average Dutchman is now 183cm (6ft) tall, while the average Latvian woman reaches 170cm (5ft 7in).
The research, published in the journal eLife, has tracked growth trends in 187 countries since 1914.
It finds Iranian men and South Korean women have had the biggest spurts, increasing their height by an average of more than 16cm (6in) and 20cm (8in).
Life for the tallest and shortest
In the UK, the sexes have gone up virtually in parallel by about 11cm (4in). "Mr Average" in Britain is now 178cm (5ft 10in) tall; Ms Average stands at 164cm (5ft 5in).
This contrasts for example with men and women in the US, where the height of the nation's people started to plateau in the 1960s and 1970s. Over the century, they have seen increases of just 6cm and 5cm (a couple of inches), respectively.
Indeed, Americans have tumbled down the rankings. Back in 1914, they had the third tallest men and fourth tallest women on the planet. Today they are in 37th and 42nd place.
The height charts are now utterly dominated by European countries, but the data would suggest that growth trends in general in the West have largely levelled out.
The smallest men on the planet are to be found in East Timor (160cm; 5ft 3in).
The world's smallest women are in Guatemala, a status they also held back in 1914. According to the survey data, a century ago the average Guatemalan 18-year-old female was 140cm (4ft 7in). Today she has still not quite reached 150cm (4ft 11in).
East Asia has seen some of the biggest increases. People in Japan, China and South Korea are much taller than they were 100 years ago.
"The parts of the world where people haven't got particularly taller over this 100 years of analysis are in South Asia (such as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) and in sub-Saharan Africa. Here the increase in height is between 1-6cm in those regions," explained co-author James Bentham from Imperial College London.
In fact, in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, average heights have actually fallen since the 1970s. Nations like Uganda and Sierra Leone have seen a few centimetres come off the height of the average man.
Some of the variation in height across the globe can be explained by genetics, but the study's authors say our DNA cannot be the dominant factor.
Lead scientist Majid Ezzati, also from Imperial, told BBC News: "About a third of the explanation could be genes, but that doesn't explain the change over time. Genes don't change that fast and they don't vary that much across the world. So changes over time and variations across the world are largely environmental. That's at the whole population level versus for any individual whose genes clearly matter a lot."
Good standards of healthcare, sanitation, and nutrition were the key drivers, he said. Also important is the mother's health and nutrition during pregnancy.
Other research has shown that height is correlated with both positive outcomes and a few negative ones.
Tall people tend to have a longer life expectancy, with a reduced risk of heart disease. On the other hand, there is some evidence that they are at greater risk of certain cancers, such as colorectal, postmenopausal breast and ovarian cancers.
"One hypothesis is that growth factors may promote mutated cells," said another Imperial co-author, Elio Riboli.
The eLife paper - A Century of Trends in Adult Human Height - was put together by the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration, a group of 800 or so scientists, in association with the World Health Organization.
The work, which was funded by the Wellcome Trust and Grand Challenges Canada, was presented here in Manchester at the biennial EuroScience Open Forum.

S&P said the the referendum result could lead to "a deterioration of the UK's economic performance, including its large financial services sector".
Rival agency Fitch lowered its rating from AA+ to AA, forecasting an "abrupt slowdown" in growth in the short-term.
The moves come after Chancellor George Osborne said the UK will face the future "from a position of strength".
Speaking earlier, in an attempt to restore calm to the markets, the chancellor said the economy would need to "adjust" but was strong enough to cope.
S&P had been the only major agency to maintain a AAA rating for the UK. It has now cut its rating by two notches to AA.
On Friday, Moody's cut the UK's credit rating outlook to negative.
A rating downgrade can affect how much it costs governments to borrow money in the international financial markets. In theory, a high credit rating means a lower interest rate (and vice versa).
S&P said that the leave result would "weaken the predictability, stability, and effectiveness of policymaking in the UK".
Other things being equal, a downgrade can mean higher borrowing costs. But this time other things are not equal at all.
Since the event which led to the downgrade - the referendum - those costs have gone down.
The risk associated with UK government debt or bonds might in some sense be a little higher than before, but they are still seen as a safe investment compared with other assets.
In a situation where investors have become more reluctant to hold risky assets they buy safer ones including government bonds and that tends to lower the interest rate the government has to pay when it next goes to the market to borrow.
And then there is the increased chance that the Bank of England will reduce its own interest rates because of concerns about the economic impact of Brexit. That tends to push government borrowing costs in the same direction.
Fitch expects an abrupt slowdown in UK growth in the short term.
But it also warned that medium term growth is likely to be weaker "due to less favourable terms for exports to the EU, lower immigration and a reduction in foreign direct investment".
S&P also warned that it expected the UK economic growth to be hit by the outcome of the vote.
It said that there was a risk of "a constitutional crisis" if the referendum's outcome leads to a second referendum on Scottish independence from the UK.
"We take the view that the deep divisions both within the ruling Conservative Party and society as a whole over the european question may not heal quickly and may hamper government stability and complicate policymaking on economic and other matters," it said.
S&P also warned uncertainty on key issues about the UK's exit from the EU would hurt investor confidence and put vital external investment "at risk".
Prime Minister David Cameron, speaking earlier in the Commons said negotiating an exit from the European Union would be the civil service's most complex and important task for decades.
Mr Cameron, who has said he will step down by October, also told MPs he did not take back the warnings he made during the campaign about the consequences of leaving the EU, saying it would be "difficult" with "challenging new negotiations" ahead.
Meanwhile, Germany, France and Italy have said they will not hold informal talks with the UK until it triggers the official Article 50 mechanism notifying the rest of EU of its intention to leave.
Advertising data firm Semrush analysed 25,000 pages for the study.
It looked at 1,000 results for 25 search terms including laptop, watches, speakers and smoke detectors on Google.
Products sold by Google's parent firm Alphabet dominated the top of the results. Google said it had strict rules for buying its advertising space.
A spokesman said that the firm's marketing policies were "consciously and carefully designed" so as not to intervene with ad pricing.
"All our bids are excluded from the auction when determining the price paid by other advertisers and we have strict rules and processes - set to tougher levels than our customers - to govern the use of our own ads products," he said.
The Wall Street Journal reported that in all 1,000 searches for the term "laptop" in the study, the top result was for Google's Chromebook.
Additionally 98% of searches for "watches" resulted in links to Android smartwatch retailers appearing on top.
Android and Chromebook are both owned by Alphabet.
It also noted that alarm products by another Alphabet firm, Nest, featured highly in searches for smoke detectors.
The paper added that after sharing the results with Google many of the ads disappeared - and a BBC test found that other brands including Apple, Lenovo and Apollo now appear to dominate the top of results pages for these terms.
In July 2016 the European Commission alleged that Google had abused its dominance in internet shopping and restricted competition - which the firm denied.
"We think when we look at the screen that Google is placing its ads above others but advertising doesn't work in that way," said Daniel Knapp, senior analyst at IHS.
"It may be that Google is willing to pay more than others or that it has better targeting data for identifying users. The method of the [Wall Street Journal] experiment may also be flawed."
The advertising auctions are automated and run by algorithms, he added.
"We live in an algorithmic world. How are these algorithms making decisions on our behalf and how is that distorting markets and society in general?" he said.
"This is an example of a much bigger underlying issue."
David Copeland was jailed for targeting Brick Lane, Soho and Brixton in 1999 in a 13-day nail bombing campaign that left three people dead and 139 injured.
He has now been sentenced for attacking an inmate at HMP Belmarsh with a toothbrush modified with razor blades.
Copeland, 39, will not now be eligible for release until he is in his mid-70s.
Woolwich Crown Court heard that in June last year Copeland - who was given six life sentences in 2000 for the London bombings - was being held at the maximum security prison in south-east London.
He had a row or dispute with fellow inmate Thomas McDonagh and entered the exercise yard the next day with a toothbrush, modified to hold two razor blades, hidden in his trousers.
As he approached McDonagh, another prisoner, Sean Duignan, punched Copeland and there was a chase across the yard.
Duignan ran into the prison laundry, pulled down a notice board and said: "I'm going to do him, let me have him".
However, as a prisoner officer intervened to stop Duignan going after the killer, Copeland turned his attention to McDonagh.
Copeland slashed twice at McDonagh, leaving him with parallel scarring from the twin-bladed weapon, one injury running from his ear across his face and the other above his eye.
Moments later Copeland was overpowered by prison officers with a baton strike to his leg. He was placed in solitary confinement for 11 months.
Judge Anuja Dhir QC said the attack happened so quickly that officers could not stop it.
She said: "The attack involved David Copeland running 20 metres or more across the yard with a weapon on show.
"He wanted to inflict a permanent reminder of what he had done - and he achieved that aim."
Sentencing Copeland, who pleaded guilty to wounding with intent, the judge added: "You are dangerous, but the danger you pose to the public is sufficiently controlled."
But said the nature of the offence meant she had to give him an additional sentence on top of his existing minimum term.
Copeland's six life sentences carry a minimum term of 50 years. He will serve at least 18 months of his additional three-year sentence.
However, Copeland will still not be released until the Parole Board is sure it is safe to do so.
Throughout the hearing, Copeland - who now has a thick short beard and a receding hairline - listened intently on a video link from HMP Frankland.
When Judge Dhir asked if he understood the extra sentence, he said he did and then waved to her at the end of the hearing.
The judge commended Det Con Yeliz Ersiner of the Metropolitan Police for how she had handled the investigation, and prison officers Frank Hughes and Paul Leahy for their actions in the prison yard. | UK researchers say they have found a new way to tell if a heart attack is more severe and might cause lasting harm - by looking for bruising or bleeding in the heart muscle.

Without the £250,000 subsidy from Suffolk Coastal District Council, the theatre could not carry on.
Geoff Holdcroft, cabinet member for leisure, said it conducted a review in October 2011 and decided it did not have the money to support the Spa Pavilion in its current format.
"They've got 35,000 people coming though the doors in a year, that compares to 90,000 in Cromer, 160,00 at the Regent in Ipswich," he said.
"It just doesn't compare."
The Spa Pavilion opened in June 1909, with flags put up around Felixstowe to celebrate the opening of a new venue for the east coast.
Folk musician Charlie Landsborough, who has performed at the theatre many times, said it would be sadly missed.
"I'm as sick as everyone else," he said. "It was always a place we always looked forward to playing, the staff there were fantastic.
"The theatre had a great ethos about it and we always got a good crowd."
It has also hosted several theatre shows for BBC Radio Suffolk.
All 43 staff have been made redundant.
The final show is the 47th pantomime staged at the venue by the Dennis Lowe Theatre Company - named after its founder who died in 1999.
Suzie Lowe, his daughter and current director of the company, told the BBC in December that the show would ensure the theatre "went out with a bang". | The curtain will come down for the final time later on a 100-year-old Suffolk theatre staging its last production. | 20,928,190 | 426 | 26 | false |
"We'll go our way, you go yours," Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
The EU says Turkey needs to narrow its definition of terrorism to qualify for visa-free travel - which is part of a larger deal between the sides aimed at easing Europe's migration crisis.
Mr Erdogan was speaking a day after PM Ahmet Davutoglu, who largely negotiated the EU deal, said he was stepping down.
Leadership split spoils the party
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's bruised battler
Mr Davutoglu had also reportedly opposed Mr Erdogan's plan to give more power to the presidency. Mr Erdogan said the proposed constitutional changes were a national need, not a personal requirement.
The wide-ranging EU-Turkey deal involves the return of migrants, mainly Syrians, from Greece to Turkey, along with increased aid and other measures.
One of these is to allow Turkish citizens visa-free travel for short stays in the EU's Schengen area which comprises 22 EU and four non-EU members.
However, the EU wants Turkey to narrow its broad definition of terrorism to match tighter EU standards. It is one of five EU criteria Turkey still has to agree to in order to meet the visa-free requirements.
Mr Erdogan rejected this, saying in a televised speech on Friday: "Turkey, when it's under attack from terrorist organisations from all sides, the European Union is telling us to change the anti-terror law in exchange for the visa deal."
Referring to tents erected by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, near the EU parliament in Brussels, Mr Erdogan said: "You [the EU] will let terrorists build tents and provide them with opportunities in the name of democracy.
"And then [you] will tell us 'if you change this [anti-terrorism legislation], I will lift the visas'. Sorry, we'll go our way, you go yours."
BBC Turkey correspondent Mark Lowen says Mr Erdogan's hard rhetoric will please his support base but will alarm European leaders.
In recent months, he says, the government has used the terms "terrorist" or "terrorist supporter" to prosecute critics including journalists, suggesting they are supporting Kurdish militants or other armed organisations.
If Mr Erdogan does not meet the EU requirements, the European Parliament and EU leaders will not vote on the visa waiver at the end of June and, our correspondent says, the whole deal could fall apart.
The Turkey-EU statement in full
Another part of the EU-Turkey deal had been to hold new talks on Turkish accession to the EU.
But analysts say Mr Erdogan has been less convinced of EU alignment than Mr Davutoglu, and he will certainly be a tougher negotiator.
On Thursday, Mr Davutoglu, who was hand-picked by Mr Erdogan to succeed him as head of the governing AK Party after Mr Erdogan was elected president in 2014, said he would not stand again as leader at an extraordinary party congress called for 22 May.
Our correspondent says Mr Davutoglu had not been the pliant PM Mr Erdogan had hoped for, and the resignation is a tightening of control by the president.
Full European Commission Statement
The prime minister's unease with Mr Erdogan's plans to move to a presidential system, among other policies, had been evident in recent months.
In his speech, Mr Erdogan dismissed those who believe that, as president, he should stand aside from party politics.
He expressed his determination to put presidential reform to a referendum as soon as possible.
He said: "The presidential system issue is not Recep Tayyip Erdogan's personal request. The place in which Turkey has arrived as a result of its experiences has created an urgent need for both the presidential system and the new constitution."
Among those tipped as successors to Mr Davutoglu are Transport Minister Binali Yildirim, who is close to Mr Erdogan, and Energy Minister Berat Albayrak, who is the president's son-in-law.

Police Scotland ended the service across most of the country in 2014.
Regeneration group Future Hawick has lodged a petition claiming a "marked increase in the abuse of parking regulations" in the town.
However, Scottish Borders Council claimed parking habits had "not actually changed significantly".
The local authority is currently considering its position with regard to the management of on-street parking.
One option would be to introduce its own wardens but that would be an expensive one.
It would cost the council around ??200,000 to set up and could not happen for at least two years. The Scottish government would have to agree and give the council the necessary powers.
The Future Hawick petition highlights parking issues which it said were decreasing footfall on the High Street at a time when businesses were suffering an economic downturn.
"The situation has reached the stage where action is required," it said.
It has called on the council to take action immediately.
A report on the subject said there was no comparable data for Hawick prior to the removal of traffic wardens but studies in other areas had shown the impact had not been as great as was perceived.
It recommended that the council take no further action before a report in November on the wider issue of parking and traffic management.
A union official said workers had not been paid for five months by Tanzania's government because of a financial crisis at the railway authority.
The government has not yet commented on the strike.
China funded the building of the track, which stretches for 1,860km (1,155 miles), in the 1970s to boost links between the neighbours.
It gave the two governments a $500m (£330m) interest-free loan for the project.
However, the Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (Tazara), set up by the two governments to operate the service, is running at a loss, says the BBC's Tulanana Bohela in Tanzania's main city, Dar es Salaam.
The authority is desperately seeking a private investor to prevent its collapse, as the Tanzanian and Zambian governments are reluctant to continue financing it, she adds.
People in rural areas normally use the rail service. It is also used to transport cargo, especially copper and timber, from Zambia to Tanzania, our reporter says.
Tanzania Railway Workers Union official Erastus Kihwele told BBC Focus on Africa that the two government should seek "emergency funds" to pay employees.
He said many of them had no money to pay rent or the school fees for their children because they had not been given their salaries for five months.
The strike had been called for a week, but could continue if their demands were not met, Mr Kihwele added.
The AI system, called Lengpudashi, won a landslide victory and $290,000 (£230,000) in the five-day competition.
It is the second time this year that an AI program has beaten competitive poker players.
An earlier version of the program, known as Libratus, beat four of the world's best poker pros during a 20-day game in January.
The AI systems were the work of Tuomas Sandholm, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the US, and PhD student Noam Brown.
The prize money will go to Strategic Machine, a firm founded by the duo.
The human team up against Lengpudashi was led by Yue Du, an amateur poker player who won the World Series of Poker $5,000 buy-in, no-limit, Texas Hold'em category last year.
Mr Du's "Team Dragon" consisted of engineers, computer scientists and investors who attempted to use game theory and their knowledge of machine intelligence to anticipate and counter Lengpudashi's play.
Unlike chess and Go, in which all the playable pieces are visible on the board, poker is what computer scientists call an "imperfect information game".
This means relying on complicated betting strategies and a player's ability to bluff, or spot when opponents are bluffing.
"People think that bluffing is very human," Mr Brown told Bloomberg, "It turns out that's not true."
"A computer can learn from experience that if it has a weak hand and it bluffs, it can make more money."
Like the poker pro-beating Libratus AI program before it, Lengpudashi was run on a supercomputer at Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.
Researchers commonly use matches like these to hone an AI program's reasoning skills and strategic decision making.
Their fingers have the power to destroy your social calendar for weeks to come, at least.
And yet at the moment hairdressers in the UK aren't required to have any qualifications.
That may change as MPs debate whether the industry needs greater regulation. But for now, what are your rights if your stylist gets it wrong?
If you look like you've lost a fight with a New Zealand sheep shearer at the end of your chop, you can refuse to pay.
Hairdressers provide a service and in law are governed by the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982.
This means they have to carry out their job to a good standard.
So, if you've gone in asking for a Kim Kardashian-style cut and come out looking more like Kim Jong-un, you're entitled to keep your money in your pocket.
But be warned, if the salon thinks your review of their handiwork has more holes in it than your head then they could take you to court to claim what they think they're owed.
If you do find yourself in a stand-off akin to a Clint Eastwood western another option is to pay under protest.
This means you pay for the haircut, with the intention of claiming the money back later.
Make sure though that if you go down this route the hairdresser is aware you're paying in protest. It's best to have a witness, or even better, get it in writing.
What's that old saying? "If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again."
Even if it looks like they've used a lawn mower to cut your hair, you should first give your hairdresser another shot at getting it right.
As counterintuitive as this may sound if you take them to court you'll need to show you've been reasonable.
By all means ask the salon for a discount as a goodwill gesture, but this should be your first port of call.
Should your hairdresser agree to give it another go, you should tell them in writing that you reserve the right to get someone else to do the work if it still hasn't been done to a reasonable standard.
And keep a copy of the letter.
If the hairdresser can't or won't put things right, then it's time to try another salon.
You might be able to claim compensation from the first hatchet job if this leaves you out of pocket.
As a nation we're not known for our bluntness.
We'd often much rather smile sweetly and save the river of tears until we get home.
But in this instance it pays to be brave and upfront.
If you give the impression you're happy with your haircut, then you'll haveaffirmed the contract.
Once this is done, you'll lose the right to withhold payment and can only sue in court for damages.
To avoid affirming the contract you must shout if you notice things taking a turn for the worse.
By letting them continue you're seen as accepting what's going on up top.
Whatever you decide to do, if you want any money back, you're going to need evidence.
So although you might not feel like it, it's time to take a selfie. And then another.
Taking pictures of your new do and writing down the date and time of the cut will help you further down the line, whatever you decide to do.
It's worth remembering that although many stylists have undergone training, you don't have to have any qualifications to start your own hairdressing business.
The Hairdressing Council says 7,000 hairdressers are signed up to its voluntary register.
That's out of around 250,000 people who work in the UK's hairdressing industry.

The IndyCamp Live group was served with a notice to quit Holyrood last month, and given 21 days to submit its case to the Court of Session.
Campers aim to stay in place until Scotland is independent.
The group declined to comment on the latest developments, but previously vowed to fight to continue its vigil.
IndyCamp was set up in late November, with campers planning to keep the site occupied full-time until Scottish independence is declared.
Camp leaders said they were taking inspiration from the Democracy for Scotland vigil in the 1990s, which spent five years campaigning for devolution.
However, the Scottish Parliament launched legal action against the group, saying it did not have permission to camp on the site and was preventing other members of the public from using the public space.
A spokesman said the presence of the group was "at odds with the policy of maintaining the political neutrality of the parliamentary estate".
Notice was served on the campers on 8 December, giving them 48 hours to leave the site. After this time elapsed, the parliament petitioned the Court of Session to "recover possession" of the land occupied by the camp.
The court gave permission for parliament to serve action on the campers, but the group was given 21 days to respond to the petition, expiring on Thursday.
The group declined to comment on how it would respond to the legal proceedings, but has maintained throughout its vigil that it intended to remain in place.
Magistrates heard that Jim Buckley tweeted: "Your next London Mayor? You think his corner shop would be open on a Saturday?", last November.
The 60-year-old was expelled by his local Conservative group and is now an independent councillor in Rugby.
He will stand trial at Leamington Spa Magistrates' Court on 11 March.
The court heard Mr Buckley, who lives in Hillmorton, the ward he represents on Rugby Borough Council, accepted sending the tweet, which he later deleted.
But his solicitor, Mohammad Farooq, said: "However he would argue that there is a fine line between sending something which is insensitive and something which is grossly offensive."
Mr Buckley has been charged under the 2003 Communications Act in that the tweet was "grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character",

Tanya Landman's Buffalo Soldier won the Carnegie medal and was influenced by the true story of former slave Cathy Williams, who enlisted as a man in the US army.
Debut author William Grill won the Kate Greenaway Medal for his illustrated book Shackleton's Journey.
At 25 he is the youngest winner of the medal since 1960.
The prizes are each awarded annually to a book for young people.
Agnes Guyon, chair of this year's judging panel, said: "These books push boundaries, from Charley O'Hara's often harrowing experiences in Buffalo Soldier, to the brutal landscapes and innovative colours of Shackleton's Journey.
"They do not shy from difficult topics but are ultimately life-affirming in the view they offer of the human spirit's will to survive and succeed."
The winners receive £500 worth of books to donate to their local library.
Grill, as winner of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal, is also awarded the £5,000 Colin Mears Award cash prize.
He beat the newly crowned Children's Laureate, Chris Riddell, to the title.
Landman used her winner's speech to call for schools and libraries to be given the support they need to help children unleash their imaginations.
She said: "I've watched teachers tied in straitjackets by the demands of the national curriculum and Ofsted, and students imprisoned in boxes that need to be ticked.
"At a time when China is looking for ways to teach their children to create and innovate, we seem to be heading in the opposite direction. Our system is in danger of squeezing every scrap of imagination out of our children."
Landman has written many books for children and young people, including the Sam Swann series, and her novel Apache was nominated for the 2008 Carnegie Medal.
Grill in his speech spoke of how illustrated novels can encourage those with reading difficulties to enjoy reading as they "can also be more accessible for those who struggle with reading, as dyslexics like myself have".
"I am thrilled that my book has been so positively received by schools which have seen that children learn very effectively through storytelling.
"In Shackleton's case, they can see that he and his crew proved that just because you fail it doesn't make you a failure. In Shackleton's own words, 'the only true failure would be to not explore at all".
In 2014 Grill won the Association of Illustration Award for New Talent and his book Shackleton's Journey was also a winner of The New York Times Best Illustrated Books.
Previous Carnegie winners include CS Lewis and Arthur Ransome, while celebrated illustrators Quentin Blake and Shirley Hughes are both winners of the Greenaway.
The Carnegie Medal was established in 1936 in memory of the Scottish-born philanthropist Andrew Carnegie with the Kate Greenaway Medal following 19 years later, named after the popular 19th-Century artist.
The medals are judged solely by librarians across the UK and past winners include CS Lewis, Arthur Ransome, Terry Pratchett, Quentin Blake, Shirley Hughes and Raymond Briggs.
RBS said it had reached a "full and final settlement" with the three, and would now seek to agree terms with the two remaining groups.
Investors argued they were misled over RBS's health, and so bought shares just months before it was bailed out.
RBS has set aside a total of £800m to settle all the claims.
RBS - which is still 73%-owned by the government following its 2008 bailout - said the three shareholder groups it had settled with represented 77% of the total claims by value.
It added it would now seek to agree final terms with the remaining shareholder groups, but said that "any claims for which settlement is not achieved will... continue to be vigorously defended".
RBS chief executive Ross McEwan said: "We have been very clear that we wanted to deal with as many of our legacy litigation issues as possible during 2015 and 2016.
"We are pleased to have reached this agreement and hope that it will be accepted by the remaining claimant groups so that this long course of complex and costly litigation can now be concluded."
Since its bailout by the government in 2008, RBS has continued to struggle. It reported a loss of £1.98bn for 2015, its eighth consecutive year of annual losses.
Last week, stress tests run by the Bank of England found that RBS was the worst prepared of the UK's biggest lenders to cope with another financial crisis.
The results forced RBS to devise plans to bolster its balance sheet by £2bn through cost cuts and shedding assets.
As is traditional every time senior politicians cross Offa's Dyke, he was asked about the [Barnett] formula that decides changes in the Welsh government's budget.
He told my colleague Carl Roberts: "I think it gives a rough deal to Wales if I'm honest. I was chief secretary to the treasury and I remember looking in detail at the BF and I do think Wales gets short-changed by it.
"So I think it needs to be looked at and it's one of the reasons I've asked Carwyn Jones to chair a UK constitutional convention so that we can look not just at the balance of powers between the UK centrally and Wales but also financial questions and how we get fairness across the UK in terms of the distribution of finance. So all of these questions are on the table and rightly so because I don't think Wales has had a fair deal out of the current financial settlement."
That was a point made in a parliamentary question from the former cabinet minister Paul Murphy back in 2007 (when public spending was rising overall and the gap between spending per head in Wales and England narrowing).
Mr Paul Murphy: "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he plans to review the Barnett formula for allocating the block grant for Wales."
Andy Burnham: "The Government have no plans to review the Barnett formula."
Ah well, eight years is a long time in politics. Mr Burnham is also backing calls for Welsh Labour to have a seat on the UK party's NEC. As Lee Waters pointed out three years ago, this was first promised back in 1999 by Alun Michael and later supported by Ed Miliband but has yet to happen.
Dr Nihal Weerasena is accused of various failures in the care of six children and one adult while employed by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust between 2008 and 2012.
He felt he was the victim of a "cover-up", the Manchester tribunal heard.
The trust referred the doctor to the General Medical Council (GMC) in 2014.
Dr Weerasena is not attending the hearing, in which the GMC claimed his fitness to practise is impaired because of misconduct in relation to a number of operations in which some children died.
He was referred after a review of the trust's paediatric care services, which included looking at clinical outcomes.
Children's heart operations at Leeds General Infirmary had previously been stopped for a fortnight in 2013 after safety concerns.
A report later found the unit did not have excessive mortality rates.
Outlining the individual charges against Dr Weerasena, Chloe Hudson - representing the GMC - told the panel he had shown "substandard practice" in his treatment of a seven-year-old patient in 2012 in a "complex" surgery.
He is also alleged to have failed to keep an accurate record of surgery on a six-year-old patient in November 2010.
Ms Hudson said an expert witness criticised his operation on an eight-year-old patient in September 2010 to repair narrowing of the arteries into the heart.
The tribunal heard he also failed to seek senior surgical help during the procedure and failed to explain in his typed operation report why the patient had died.
Ms Hudson said: "In essence, the doctor says that there has been a campaign against him to cover up the long-standing shortcomings of Leeds Teaching Hospitals' paediatric heart surgery department and in effect he has been made a scapegoat for departmental failures."
The hearing is scheduled to last up to three weeks.
They increase borrowing powers for Wales and allow Welsh and UK ministers to reach legal agreement on water flowing across the border with England.
Changes under the Wales Act also mean the assembly could change its name to Welsh Parliament if members wished.
But some AMs have said the legislation claws back powers in some areas.
In November, Mr Cairns described ending his ability to block some laws made in Wales about water as putting right a "long outstanding injustice" 50 years after the flooding of a Gwynedd village to create the Tryweryn reservoir to supply Liverpool.
The Welsh Government can now borrow up to £1bn for infrastructure projects, rather than the current £500m.
Other measures in the act that now apply include the reaffirming of the assembly and Welsh Government as permanent features of the British political landscape.
It also enshrines the convention that Westminster will not normally pass laws on devolved matters without permission from AMs.
"From today, the assembly can decide on a new title if that's what assembly members want," Mr Cairns said.
"I and my successors will no longer be entitled to a seat in the assembly, nor will we be required to give an annual address to the assembly on the Queen's Speech.
"Together, these changes reflect the coming of age of the devolved institutions in Wales and mark the beginning of the transition to the new settlement that the Wales Act will put in place."
The powers came into force automatically on Friday, two months after the Wales Bill received Royal Assent on 31 January.
The date when many of the act's other provisions will take effect has not yet been decided.
They include changing the way the assembly's powers are defined to a "reserved powers" model.
This would specify what Westminster controls, with everything else assumed to be the responsibility of Cardiff Bay,
The current system lists what is a matter for the assembly, with other powers deemed to belong to the UK Parliament.
Some Welsh politicians have claimed the reserved powers model actually rolls back devolution in some areas.
Mr Cairns will consult the Welsh Government and the assembly's Presiding Officer Elin Jones on timescales.
Agreement has also yet to be reached on when powers to vary rates of income tax - included in the 2014 Wales Act - will be used.
The 21-year-old former QPR youngster, who joins a side 18th in the table, has made 11 appearances for the Dons since signing for them in September 2014.
But just two of those have come this term - both in the EFL Trophy.
"He will give us width and pace that we have been looking for, along with great delivery and an eye for goal," said Gulls player-manager Kevin Nicholson.
So-called Islamic State said two of its fighters had carried out the attack in the village of Hajaj on Wednesday.
The first detonated an explosive vest among men who were dancing, then a second bomber targeted those who had gathered to help, officials said.
Most of the dead were children, a local government spokesman told AP.
IS said it had targeted a gathering of the Popular Mobilization Forces, a coalition of mostly Shia paramilitaries backed by Iran.
In a post on its channels on the messaging app Telegram, IS said the attackers had clashed with members of the group before detonating their explosives.
At least 25 people were wounded.
The wedding party on Wednesday evening was for a family who had been displaced from Iraq's western Anbar province and is affiliated with a major anti-IS tribe there, AP reported.
The jihadists captured swathes of northern and central Iraq, including Tikrit, in the summer of 2014, but were forced out of the city by Iraqi forces in April 2015.
But they continue to launch attacks in and around the city, which was the hometown of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
It comes as Iraqi government forces are battling to retake the northern city of Mosul from the Sunni extremist group.
After gaining control of the city's eastern side in January, troops are now pushing into the more densely-populated west.
This week they have taken a government complex and the Badoush prison, where IS are alleged to have killed 600 mainly Shia inmates.

2012 October - The Flemish Nationalist Party (NVA) makes major gains at local elections, becoming the largest political force in Flanders. Leader Bart De Wever becomes mayor of Antwerp, Europe's second-largest port. The NVA calls for much greater autonomy for Flanders.
2013 July - King Albert II abdicates in favour of his son Philippe.
2014 February - Parliament votes in favour of extending euthanasia law to terminally-ill children.
2014 May - Parliamentary elections. The separatist New Flemish Alliance emerges as the largest party, and the king asks its leader Bart De Wever to look into the possibility of forming a new government.
2014 October - After months of negotiations, Charles Michel of the Francophone liberal Reform Movement forms a coalition with three Flemish parties, including the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA). N-VA leader Bart De Wever remains outside the government as mayor of Antwerp.
2014 December - A nationwide 24-hour strike called by unions in protest at the government's economic austerity programme brings much of the country to a standstill.
2015 January - Two suspected Islamist militants are shot dead by police during an operation to dismantle a jihadist cell in the eastern town of Verviers.
2015 November - Government puts Brussels under maximum security alert in wake of Islamic State terror group attack on Paris, amounting to an effective lockdown of the city.
2016 March - Islamic State suicide bombers attack Brussels's Zaventem airport and Maalbeek metro station four days after the capture in the city of Salah Abdeslam, one of the alleged organisers of the November attacks in Paris. Thirty-five people are killed and more than 300 injured.
The constable gave the 44-year-old first aid before paramedics arrived but the rider died at the scene.
He was found in St Chad's Queensway, Birmingham, close to the junction of Whittall Street at about 06:00 BST.
CCTV footage is being reviewed to assess how the crash happened, involving a man from Handsworth. His relatives have been informed.
Pc Chris Ridge said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man.
"We're working hard to establish the cause of the crash and need people's help.
"There is some suggestion that a second motorbike was travelling in convoy with the deceased's bike.
"While we check CCTV footage to see if that's the case, I'd ask that anyone who was in the area at the time to pick up the phone and tell us what they saw."
Gerry Flynn, 57, has been named locally as the victim of the crash at Duncrew in Castleblayney, County Monaghan, on Sunday.
Mr Flynn, who ran a pharmacy in Falcarragh, County Donegal, died when the car he was driving left the road at about 16:00 local time.
A woman, who was a passenger in the car, was uninjured.
Gardaà (Irish police) have appealed for witnesses.

It is not the first time O'Sullivan has had to consider his footwear in a tournament, having played December's UK Championship in soft shoes after breaking his ankle while running.
This time around a fan was given the discarded pair but while O'Sullivan continued to dominate, he could not match his standard set in the opening frame, when he even asked officials what the prize money was for a maximum on his way to a 104.
The world number two was twice fortunate to see his opponent miss routine blacks, one to level at 2-2 and another to extend a break of 55 which could have seen the score move to 5-3.
Instead, world number 81 Steadman found himself 6-2 down and contributions of 54 and 75 extended O'Sullivan's lead to five frames.

Elsewhere, two-time finalist Ali Carter progressed to a second-round meeting with Neil Robertson with a 10-5 win over Scotland's Alan McManus.
Carter, who got the all-clear from cancer for a second time in December, said: "I've been working hard on my fitness and the practice table.
"Peter Ebdon is here to help me on the practice table. All things considered, today will bring me on leaps and bounds and I'm here to win this tournament."
Pets Blood Bank UK (PBBUK) is holding donor recruitment sessions in Wales throughout July.
But because of geography they say vets in Wales must also know where blood can be sourced locally in an emergency.
PBBUK believes that at any one time they may have no more than a few days' supply of blood and related products.
Its spokesperson Joanne Patterson said the summer was especially problematic.
"While people are planning their holidays they're more concerned about kennelling their dogs and making sure they'll be happy than they are about giving blood," she said.
"But even though the summer is a particular problem, it can be a struggle year-round to ensure we have safe stock levels.
"The feedback we've had isn't so much that owners are reluctant to allow their pets to become donors, it's more that it simply doesn't dawn on them that there's a need for animal blood until their own pet requires it.
"So we're just trying to make all owners and vets aware of the issue whether they go on a local register or donate through PBBUK, or indeed both."
While PBBUK is alone in stockpiling a number of specialised products, Ms Patterson explained that when time is of the essence in an emergency, locally-sourced donors can often be the best solution.
"The advantage of PBBUK is that we have the laboratory facilities to produce not just blood, but also a whole range of derivatives such as plasma for burns or poisoning, white blood cells for immunological problems, and clotting agents for extensive bleeding," she added.
"But given that we're based in Loughborough, often the best option for straightforward emergency transfusions can be local donors, especially in parts of Wales which can be difficult to reach by road in a hurry.
"So whilst we'll always help with any request if we can, vets should also canvass their customers to create a local list of owners who'd be prepared to allow their pets to be donors."
Sheila Stewart, founder of the Capricorn Animal Sanctuary in Padeswood, Flintshire, has done that and is now on call for veterinary emergencies across north Wales.
"We'd always helped out the local vet on an ad hoc basis, until three dogs all needed blood on the same night," she said.
"It made me realise that there was a need to set up a more formal register.
"So now we can call on not only the dogs who we care for ourselves, but also the owners of the dogs we re-home if they're willing, and we've even put the word out for volunteers through local clubs and trainers.
"It's absolutely harmless to the donor dog and they might go their entire life without being called upon in any case. So if it could potentially save another dog's life, then why not?"
Mike Jessop, a vet in Merthyr Tydfil, agreed that the geography of Wales posed particular challenges.
He said: "Owners need to be aware of the need for volunteers, and vets - especially those who're more than an hour away from urban centres - need to have an emergency plan for what they'd do if they were to receive a major trauma requiring more than one transfusion."
"But it's by no means doom and gloom. There are actually more blood donors than ever before, and the reason that there's a shortage is because we're getting better and better at treating conditions which would have almost certainly proved fatal in the past."
While dogs, like humans, do have various different blood groups, they do not have as strong an immune response to blood other than their own type, meaning that in most circumstances a donation from any dog will be accepted by any other.
Donor dogs must weigh over 25kg and be fit and healthy. The most common breeds used are labradors, German shepherds and rottweilers, although any large breed is suitable.
Interested owners can sign up at their local vet or via the PBBUK website.
Initially its service will be offered in Manchester, Berkshire and parts of Hampshire and Surrey.
It will offer speeds of up to 76Mbps (megabits per second), with prices ranging from £5 a month to £25.
One expert said that rivals should not be "overly concerned" about the new entrant.
Vodafone acquired the assets of Cable and Wireless in 2012 and that will form the backbone of its home broadband network.
The nationwide fibre-optic network already reaches telephone exchanges that pass nearly 20 million premises across the UK
Over the next few weeks, Essex, Hertfordshire and Yorkshire will be added to the network, with the national rollout due later in the summer.
Existing Vodafone customers can get broadband at a discount rate for the first year - a 17Mbps contract would initially cost £2.50 per month, rising to £5 after 12 months.
Customers wanting the super-fast 76Mps service would pay £10 for the first 12 months.
For non-Vodafone customers, the Vodafone Connect service will be offered in various packages:
Cindy Rose, consumer director at Vodafone, said: As the only operator in the UK which owns both a fixed and mobile network, we're in a great position to create innovative products and services that give our existing customers reasons to stay with us and new customers reasons to switch."
But Paulo Pescatore, an analyst with research firm CCS Insight, said that "rivals should not be overly concerned, for now".
He added that the firm will need to "clearly articulate benefits and features" if it wanted to succeed in a highly competitive market.
More firms are looking to join up broadband and mobile services and, in February, BT announced that it was to buy mobile firm EE.
Jason Waterman "arrived without warning, dripping salt water and carrying a bag of wet clothing".
The 32-year-old, originally from Watford, handed himself in late on Monday.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) is now attempting to extradite him under a European arrest warrant.
The NCA said: "He refused to say how he reached Gibraltar, only that it wasn't through the frontier."
Mr Waterman, whose nicknames include Jugs and Jumbo, was wanted in connection with a drug trafficking investigation.
Border police found 7kg (15lb) of cocaine, with a potential street value of £1.2m, at Bagby Airfield in October 2015.
The discovery was made shortly after a light aircraft arrived from the Netherlands. The plane's pilot was arrested but later found not guilty of importation offences.
Brian Shaw, NCA North East operations manager, said: "It might sound like a cushy number, sitting around watching Crimewatch Roadshow on a Monday morning, but life as a fugitive is hard and stressful.
"The NCA first issued an appeal for Waterman in London nearly a year ago. Clearly something about the new appeal made him crack.
"To everyone else feeling the stress of being on the run, I would say we are patient people, we keep the pressure on, and we never stop looking for you."

This year Radzi set himself the challenge of climbing the longest artificial climbing wall in the world, a huge dam in Switzerland.
The Lago di Luzzone climbing wall is 165 metres high and has over 650 hand holds.
He visited Newsround to talk about his challenge.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino opened the tournament with a speech inside the St Petersburg Stadium, with Russian president Vladimir Putin and legendary Brazil footballer Pele in attendance.
Russia took the lead through Michael Boxall's first-half own goal.
Fedor Smolov scored a second from close range after the break.
Also in Russia's group are Mexico and Portugal, whose squad includes Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
Group B consists of Cameroon, Chile, Australia and world champions Germany.
The tournament, which first took place in 2005, is being held in the country hosting the World Cup next year.
Russian fan leader Alexander Shprygin was prevented from attending the opening match, according to Reuters.
Shprygin said he had been notified by Confederations Cup organisers that his fan-ID - required to attend matches - had been cancelled.
"No-one explained the reasons for this," he told Reuters.
"They gave me a fan-ID and then two hours [before the match] they cancelled it, apparently on purpose so I don't have the time to complain."
Shprygin was expelled from France after violence occurred before and during Russia's Euro 2016 match against England in Marseille.

Presented by David Munrow, the fondly-remembered show covered everything from medieval music to prog rock.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, Radio 3 controller Alan Davey said he was keen to commission a modern version.
"Young people are Âgrowing up with an open mind about various kinds of quite Âcomplex music," he said.
"It's not classical music, but it's not pop music, either. The step into classical music would be quite easy for them if they were to encounter it in the right way."
Davey took over from Roger Wright in January, and has been listening to archive tapes of Pied Piper, which ran for 655 episodes between 1971 and 1976.
Although the programme was predominantly aimed at children - and was used in school music lessons - Munrow's enthusiasm for music infected people of all ages.
But the series ended suddenly when he died at the age of 33.
A modern version would not be able to run a week-long series on the Brazilian composer Villa-Lobos, as Pied Piper did, Davey admitted, with radio increasingly having to compete with TV, mobile phones and social media for young people's attention.
Alluding to this he told the Sunday Times: "Keynes [the economist] wanted to set up the Arts Council in 1946 as a bulwark against American movie culture. But American movie culture is pretty good, and it's become an art form in itself.
"What Keynes didn't anticipate was the proliferation of the possibilities for people, and the real implication of leisure time and the possibilities there."
In a wide-ranging interview, Davey also noted that changes had been made to Radio 3's breakfast programme - notably by dropping calls from listeners, which have proved contentious with some members of the audience.
Presenters will no longer read the news headlines during the show, although the half-hourly bulletins and summaries from the BBC newsroom remain.
"It is to give the presenters more chances to present the music," Davey explained.
"We will still have hour and half-hour bulletins - people are saying they still need some kind of pointer in the mornings."
The changes, although subtle, will please critics who felt the station was being "dumbed down" as it sought to engage audience interaction, with some branding it "Radio 2.5".
They also coincide with a recent BBC Trust report, which said Radio 3 must make sure it is "distinct" from rival stations like Classic FM.
"While Radio 3 overall is a distinctive station, in terms of its approach to classical music and mix of other programming, there are some parts of the schedule where similarities exist," the BBC's watchdog said.
"Radio 3 should seek to increase choice for radio listeners by minimising any programmes and features that are similar to Classic FM's. It should focus on its strengths, by maximising its distinctiveness across its whole output, without sacrificing the combination of expertise and accessibility that has been achieved in recent years."
Mr Davey said that, under his stewardship, the station would not be "chasing ratings".
"If you concentrate on doing the best you can do and offering quality day in and day out, people do find you and they do appreciate it."
In a seven to three ruling, the court banned federal and civil police officers as well as firefighters from going on strike.
Members of the military police were already banned from stopping work.
A stoppage in eastern Espirito Santo state caused chaos in February, with schools closing and public transport suspended as the murder rate shot up.
Police strikes are not uncommon in Brazil and have in the past created problems in major cities such as Rio and Sao Paulo as well as the state of Bahia.
The judges said that anyone working directly in the area of public security had no right to go on strike "in any form or manner" because they carried out "an essential activity for the safeguarding of the public order".
They argued that work stoppages by security personnel "promoted anarchy, which is not allowed under the constitution".
Shortly after the ruling, the union representing federal police officers said its members had voted for nationwide industrial action over a social welfare reform bill.
Union leader Luis Boudens said his members would come up with actions other than stoppages to protest against the bill, such as symbolically handing in their duty weapons and bullet-proof vests.
In February, hundreds of federal police officers and soldiers were deployed to Espirito Santo after the murder rate jumped up during a strike by military and civil police officers over pay and working conditions.
Because military police were already banned under the constitution from going on strike, hundreds of those involved were threatened with charges of rebellion.
A deal was eventually reached and the officers returned to work after three weeks of stoppage.

Cook's men made 629-6 declared in their first innings, but then dropped eight chances in Cape Town and had to bat out the final day to make the game safe.
"If we'd taken those chances in the field I think we'd be talking about a different game," said Cook.
"Some were very difficult, maybe 10%. Others, we'd expect to take."
The draw means Cook's team retained a 1-0 series lead with two matches remaining.
He said: "You can't put down seven or eight chances, so we'll work hard in training after a couple of days off.
"These things happen. No-one plays a perfect game and no-one expects to drop a catch."
The dropped chances contributed to an uncomfortable final day for England.
With South Africa able to declare on 627-7 late on day four, the tourists were required survive the final day in order to avoid an unlikely defeat.
They slipped to 116-6 midway through the afternoon session, but were taken to safety by Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali.
"It's amazing," said Cook. "That's why everyone loves Test cricket.
"Full credit to South Africa for the way they batted under pressure, but we can also take a lot from this game.
"We were the team pushing for most of the game, putting South Africa under pressure."
England were propelled to their huge first-innings total by Ben Stokes' 198-ball 258, the second-fastest double century in Test history.
"It was a pleasure to watch, one of those you don't ever want to end," said Cook. "It was frighteningly good. Not many in the world have the ability to do that, so it's great that he's in our side.
"I don't think it's a one-off. I'm not saying it will happen every time he goes out to bat, but he will play innings that win matches for England."
The first incident took place on Saughton Road North on Monday, when a man attempted to rob a teenage girl of her phone.
The second occurred on Saughton Mains Terrace on Tuesday, when an elderly woman was assaulted and robbed of her handbag.
He was due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday.
Manchester City beat my team Chelsea to the Women's Super League title with a 2-0 victory over us last Sunday, then Sam Allardyce lost his job as England men's manager on Tuesday - but in neither case is it all doom and gloom.
In previous columns I have spoken a lot about how much it meant to me to win the league and FA Cup double last year and make history with Chelsea, so to have lost both trophies to our closest rivals City and Arsenal respectively this season is really tough to take.
City are unbeaten in the league this season and I have to congratulate them for their consistency - they have been rewarded for keeping clean sheets in what is a short WSL season of 16 games.
Last season we won the league with the best defence and City are deserved champions this season after conceding only three goals in 15 matches so far, so it shows a strong defensive record is key to a title win.
Much has been written about the resources at City's disposal but I don't think investing heavily in facilities or players is necessarily a guarantee for success in the WSL.
Last season we were getting changed out of a small boot room while our new changing room was being built - and we still finished as champions. The improvement of modern facilities is important but ultimately it is about hard work and team performance on the pitch.
Retaining the title is also not a guarantee and City will now find out how hard that is. City won the Continental Cup in 2014 and lost it in 2015, Arsenal won the FA Cup in 2014 and lost it to us in 2015, then we lost it this year.
There have been three different league winners over the past three seasons, and it's a sign that the WSL is continuously growing in competitiveness, with teams becoming tactically more astute.
We've had to work hard to compete against sides who have sat deep in defence and then broken forward on the counter-attack, a tactic that is becoming more common across European women's football and particularly in the WSL.
Sweden, for example, reached the Olympic final by taking this approach. Staying in matches and hoping for extra-time or penalties might not be pretty but it can lead to success. At Euro 2016, Portugal's men also put this into practice to great effect.
You may also have seen that City's title win reached the front page of the Guardian newspaper, which was another huge step forward for the development of the women's game in England.
Of course, it wasn't the headline I wanted to read but I am humble enough to take a wider view and see how it is a positive for women's football, which is something I've also done with this season.
Two years ago we missed out on the title and I was devastated, but this season I'm a lot more pragmatic. I can accept that City were more consistent than Chelsea and the challenge is for us to improve on that aspect next season and knock them off their perch.
One thing I know is that Chelsea know how to successfully bounce back from losing the title, and we will be hungrier next season.
Off the pitch it has been a desperately disappointing week for English football as England manager Allardyce lost his job after one game in charge.
From my experience as an England player with 102 caps and 11 years representing my country, I know how important the values of integrity are to the Football Association and the expectation that those values need to be reflected in its players, leaders and managers.
My mum always used to tell me when I was younger that "to whom much is given, much is expected". For those of us that have had the privilege to represent England as players or lead the England team as managers, we have a responsibility to act and represent the England badge with the upmost character, professionalism and integrity.
Character and integrity are big words that are often used freely in hashtags on social media or glossy presentations but it's much more difficult to bring them to life and see those values acted out.
The FA are the custodians of the game - they set the standards of behaviour of football in this country - and anyone who falls below those standards should not have the privilege of representing the country, whoever you are.
The FA should be applauded for acting swiftly to uphold those values and standards of behaviour despite arriving at what must have been a very difficult decision.
English football may have hit its lowest point but the only way can be up from here and it gives the FA an opportunity to be diligent about the next manager and build from that.
I also hope there will be greater financial regulation in the area of football transfers as no-one wants to see the continuation of corruption in our game.
I'd like to see the FA select the best person for the England job, regardless of nationality.
If England want to have the best chance of winning, pick the best available manager who can bring success to England. I hope Gareth Southgate and England are successful for the next four matches he is in charge.
One of the great things about football is that you always have another challenge ahead to redeem yourself and, following the disappointment of last Sunday, we now get to test ourselves in the first leg of our Champions League tie against Wolfsburg on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge.
It is the second successive season we have taken on the German side, who reached the final last year after beating us 4-1 on aggregate in the last 16.
On that occasion, we weren't helped by the WSL season finishing a month before the game, but, with the domestic campaign still ongoing, we will be in a better position to do ourselves justice against the two-time champions.
There have still been gaps of four or five weeks between domestic games this term, so I'm not sure how that will affect us, but we are certainly better prepared, fresher and more match sharp than last year.
It's all or nothing in the Champions League and we need to be ready from the first whistle. We learned the lesson that conceding at home can be very costly, so we will be focused on performing to our best in front of our fans and keeping a clean sheet at home.
England and Chelsea forward Eniola Aluko was speaking to BBC Sport's Alistair Magowan.
The weather phenomenon, which is similar to a tornado, could be seen swirling off the coast around Thorpeness and Aldeburgh.
Jackie Butler, of Leiston, watched the waterspout while walking her dogs on Sizewell beach on Saturday evening.
"All of a sudden we could see there was a spout coming down into the water," she said.
"It literally drew the water up into itself and continued for 30 minutes and then stopped. As we stood and watched it, it reformed again.
"It was amazing, absolutely amazing."
Meteorologist and BBC Look East weather forecaster Dan Holley said: "Essentially a waterspout is just a tornado but over water.
"Both begin life as a funnel cloud - a rotating column of air underneath a shower or thunderstorm - which, once it's extended to the ground becomes a tornado if it's on land, or named a waterspout if over water.
"On Saturday we had a line of wind convergence where northwesterly winds inland met an easterly sea breeze from the North Sea.
"Where the two opposing winds meet, the air gets forced upwards to create showers, and with a little spin can occasionally create funnel clouds."
He told the Defence Select Committee "air strikes alone" would not destroy IS but could reduce its ability to attack the UK.
The Cabinet has endorsed the PM's plan to debate and vote extending air strikes into Syria on Wednesday.
Labour wanted a two-day debate and has called the plans a "rush to war".
David Cameron urged MPs of all parties to back his case for intervention.
The government has published the motion to be voted on, which says military action is "only one component of a broader strategy" to tackle IS.
It says the UK government will not deploy troops in "ground combat operations". The motion would specifically authorise air strikes "exclusively" against IS in Syria.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is against military intervention but offered his party a free vote on the question after opposition from within his shadow cabinet, many of whom are thought to back Mr Cameron's case for bombing in Syria.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show, he appealed to his frontbenchers to "think again" and "think about the consequences and implications".
Ministers had said they would only call a vote when certain they would win.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said it looked as though Mr Cameron would secure a "fairly commanding majority" with a potential single-figure Conservative rebellion offset by the DUP and at least 50 Labour MPs who support air strikes.
In his appearance before MPs, Mr Fallon defended claims that 70,000 moderate opposition ground forces were on the ground in Syria.
In a country of 20 million people, it would be surprising if there were not this many he said, saying the 70,000 figure was the estimate of the Joint Intelligence Committee.
This figure "deliberately excludes those who are on the extreme side of this fight", he added.
Sitting alongside Mr Fallon, Lieutenant General Gordon Messenger, the deputy chief of the defence staff (Operations), was asked about the ground forces available, saying: "I don't think we should dismiss them, but nor should we try and invent some coherence where it doesn't exist."
He also cited an estimate of the fighting force of IS as between 20,000 and 30,000, adding that this "comes with considerable conditionality".
MPs rejected air strikes against Syrian government targets in 2013, but have since backed strikes against IS in Iraq.
Ministers say it is "illogical" to carry out strikes in Iraq but not Syria as IS does not recognise the border between the countries.
Wednesday's entire parliamentary schedule - including Prime Minister's Questions - will be cleared to make way for the debate.
But Labour has accused the government of a "rush to war" by rejecting calls for a two-day debate.
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn said: "By refusing a full two-day debate, David Cameron is demonstrating he knows the debate is running away from him, and that the case he made last week is falling apart."
"The prime minister should stop the rush to war to allow for a full discussion of the issues in Parliament.
"Matters of national security are far too important to be bulldozed through the House of Commons for political convenience."
Mr Cameron has said there would be "the equivalent number of questions we would often have across a two-day debate in one day."
He added: "I want MPs to be able to have full consideration, to make speeches, to make points, to ask me questions, to examine the government's case."
The prime minister said the vote would be held to "answer the call" from the UK's allies, because IS "is a threat to our country and this is the right thing to do".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Benn agreed, saying he had reached the decision to support air strikes "because of the threat to our citizens and others".
He defended Labour's approach to the question, saying "people of conscience have reached different views about what the right thing to do is", and insisted he had not been planning to resign if he had been instructed to vote with Mr Corbyn.
Mr Benn said he would "argue my case from the despatch box tomorrow in a serious way".
Labour MPs are reported to have criticised Mr Corbyn's tactics during a lively meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) on Monday night, with former Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said to have accused him of trying to divide the party.
Speaking afterwards, shadow energy minister Clive Lewis, an ally of the leader, said: "If there are members of the PLP that want to bomb Syria and join with the Tories then on their heads be it. I respect that decision in the sense that they've come to the decision they have."
He warned that if the war "extends with no ends" the party would be looking at who voted in favour of action and "when the blame is apportioned, step forward".
One Tory rebel, senior backbencher David Davis, said moderate ground forces referred to by Mr Cameron were "disparate people, not an army".
He said US air forces were only carrying out seven strikes each day "because they've not got the targets - they've not got the troops on the ground to find the targets".
Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson questioned the 70,000 figure in a letter to Mr Cameron, calling for a detailed explanation of how the figure was compiled.
Mr Watson also requested a "timeline for peace", saying many MPs were "yet to be convinced" that a "meaningful political process" is in place to pull together different groups to secure peace.
The UK Parliament's third largest party, the SNP, had also called for a debate over two days. It opposes bombing IS in Syria, while the Liberal Democrats, with eight MPs, have yet to say how they will vote.
Fernando Torres rescued Chelsea from the humiliation of an FA Cup exit after their midweek Capital One Cup semi-final elimination against Swansea City with a late equaliser in the 2-2 draw.
FA Cup holders Chelsea are unbeaten in 25 FA Cup matches (W20, D5), and have lost only one of their last 36 in the regulation 90 minutes
Benitez was the target for loud abuse from Chelsea's angry travelling support as he walked off at half-time with his team 1-0 down - then heard chants of "You Don't Know What You're Doing" when he sent on defender Cesar Azpilicueta ahead of striker Demba Ba with his side 2-1 down.
"I have said before that I am just concentrating on my job. I try to stay really focused and I can guarantee Juan Mata changed the game when he came on," he said.
"The club said they wanted a manager with experience and I will try to do my job."
Benitez does not expect to make any more signings before Thursday's transfer deadline and insisted he believes Eden Hazard's three-game ban for the incident involving a ball boy at Swansea City is sufficient.

He said: "In the first half we didn't do what we had to do. We made too many mistakes, but I was really pleased with the reaction of the team after that. We showed quality and character."
Chelsea appeared to be denied a clear penalty in stoppage time when Harlee Dean handled Mata's shot and Benitez said: "We were really disappointed with that not being given.
"It was very, very clear but it is also very, very clear we didn't perform in the first half. We were much better after that."
Brentford manager Uwe Rosler admitted his team were fortunate to escape a penalty award, saying: "We deserved that bit of luck. Harlee Dean did handle but the hand was at a very close distance. There is some football god up there.
"I'm slightly disappointed we didn't win but overall my players did fantastic and deserve a lot of praise. They have earned the right to play at Stamford Bridge. Individually and collectively they were top drawer."
Rosler also clearly thought Chelsea keeper Ross Turnbull was fortunate to only receive a yellow card when he pulled down Tom Adeyemi.
The Brentford boss said: "It was a goalscoring opportunity that was denied and we all know what that means."

Yonhap news agency cited officials saying that soldiers fired about 20 rounds before the craft turned back.
Earlier, South Korea's president urged China to impose the strongest possible sanctions against North Korea, following its apparent nuclear test.
Pyongyang claims it has tested a hydrogen bomb.
That claim is doubted by experts, who say the blast, though probably nuclear, was not big enough to have been a thermonuclear explosion.
In a country as impoverished and isolated as North Korea, drone technology is the last thing one might expect from the military.
But on Wednesday South Korean troops spotted a surveillance drone flying near a front line observatory. The military in Seoul said the unmanned craft flew in from the north and crossed into the Demilitarised Zone. After soldiers fired warning shots, the craft turned back.
The military believes that the drone was launched by the North to identify South Korean troop positions that have been bolstered since North Korea's nuclear test a week ago.
Earlier in the day, propaganda leaflets carried by giant balloons from the North were also found near and in the South Korean capital Seoul. Some of the messages demanded that South Korean loudspeaker broadcasts across the border, stop. They were restarted in retaliation for the North's nuclear test last week.
In her annual press conference, President Park Geun-hye said the international community's response to North Korea "must differ from the past", without giving details.
She said new sanctions on Pyongyang must go further than before, with China's support crucial. She also warned of possible further action by North Korea, including "cyber terrorism".
China, North Korea's closest ally, has repeatedly condemned North Korea's nuclear tests but is often accused of doing little to try and stop them.
Ms Park stressed China's past statements but added: "I am certain that China is very well aware if such a strong will isn't followed by necessary steps, we will not be able to stop the North's fifth and sixth nuclear tests and we cannot guarantee true peace and stability on the Korean peninsula."
"I believe the Chinese government will not allow the situation on the Korean peninsula to deteriorate further."
Last week US Secretary of State John Kerry also urged China to take a tougher line, telling his Chinese counterpart the relationship with North Korea cannot be "business as usual".
President Park also spoke about the steps South Korea was taking with the US to "neutralise North Korea's provocative actions" including additional deployments of American military assets on the Korean peninsula.
Answering a question about whether Seoul would consider ending its involvement in the jointly-run Kaesong industrial zone, just north of the border, Ms Park said its future depended on Pyongyang's actions.
Seoul has already limited access to Kaesong from the South, to only those directly involved in its operations. | A council report has concluded the withdrawal of traffic wardens in the Borders may not have had "as big an impact as is generally perceived".

Well over two-thirds - 67.9% - of year 12 pupils achieved five or more GCSEs, including English and Maths, at grades A*-C in 2015/16.
That is an increase of 0.9% from 2014/15.
At A-level, 66.3% of students achieved three or more A-levels at grades A*-C in 2015/16, an increase of 1.4% on the previous year.
The statistics for 2015/16 have just been published by the Department of Education.
They also show that almost half of pupils - 47% - who are entitled to free school meals achieved five 'good' GCSEs.
While that is also a rise on last year, it is still short of the 2011-16 programme for government target of 49%.
However, at A-Level more than half of pupils entitled to free school meals got at least three A-Levels at grades A*-C.
Girls continue to outperform boys at A-Level and GCSE with over seven in 10 girls getting five 'good' GCSEs compared to 64.2% of boys.
While pupils at grammar schools perform better that those at non-grammars, the performance gap between the two school sectors continues to decrease.
At A-Level, there was a slight fall in the proportion of grammar school students achieving at least three A-level passes, but an increase of almost 4% in the number of non-grammar pupils achieving those results.
However, 7% of 20,552 year 12 pupils who sat GCSEs were ruled ineligible to be included in the results.
That could be due to illness, welfare issues or because they have been withdrawn by their school.
At A-Level, 3.5% of the 13,253 eligible pupils were not included in the final summary of results.
Pearson, 52, has been out of work since being sacked by Leicester City in June 2015, having taken the Foxes to Premier League safety.
Darren Wassall, who guided the Rams to fifth in the Championship before their play-off semi-final loss to Hull, will return to his role as academy director.
Former Derby left-back Chris Powell will join as Pearson's assistant.
Ex-Carlisle and Southampton manager Pearson was first appointed by Leicester in 2008, and led the club to promotion from League One during his first season in charge.
After losing to Cardiff in the Championship play-offs the following season, he left the Foxes to take over at Hull - only to return to Leicester again less than 18 months later.
Pearson went on to lead them to the Premier League in 2014, but was sacked when relations between him and the club's board were "no longer viable".
The Foxes won seven and drew one of their last 10 games under Pearson to retain their top-flight status, which they went on to top as champions this season.
"Nigel is a proven winner, a highly experienced manager who has track record of success in the Championship," chairman Mel Morris told Derby's website.
"We believe Nigel is the perfect appointment and will build on the solid progress we have made in recent seasons but more importantly, will enable us to achieve our long-term objective of Premier League football."
Despite a spirited second-leg play-off performance against Hull, Derby failed to reach the final and will now spend a ninth consecutive season in the Championship.
They sacked manager Paul Clement in February despite being just five points off top spot, with Wassall taking over until the end of the season.
"Darren is a very talented man, who put his full energy and vigour into the task and we are delighted he will continue to play an important part in the club," added Derby president Sam Rush.
"Nigel is a highly sought-after, talented, manager and I know he will give us absolutely everything to make this club successful. I am excited with what the future holds."
The hosts went closest to making the breakthrough in the first half when Lee Barnard's header hit the crossbar on 16 minutes as Solihull struggled to clear their lines.
But the visitors finished off a game of few chances when White slotted home from 12 yards - his team's first goal in four games - four minutes from time, after Andy Brown had been brought down by Ian Gayle.
Solihull remained 15th in the National League despite the win, although they now have a nine-point cushion over Braintree in the relegation zone.

Four of the banks - JPMorgan, Barclays, Citigroup and RBS - have agreed to plead guilty to US criminal charges.
The fifth, UBS, will plead guilty to rigging benchmark interest rates.
Barclays was fined the most, $2.4bn, as it did not join other banks in November to settle investigations by UK, US and Swiss regulators.
Barclays is also sacking eight employees involved in the scheme.
US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said that "almost every day" for five years from 2007, currency traders used a private electronic chat room to manipulate exchange rates.
Their actions harmed "countless consumers, investors and institutions around the world", she said.
Separately, the Federal Reserve fined a sixth bank, Bank of America, $205m over foreign exchange-rigging. All the other banks were fined by both the Department of Justice and the Federal Reserve.
Regulators said that between 2008 and 2012, several traders formed a cartel and used chat rooms to manipulate prices in their favour.
One Barclays trader who was invited to join the cartel was told: "Mess up and sleep with one eye open at night."
Several strategies were used to manipulate prices and a common scheme was to influence prices around the daily fixing of currency levels.
A daily exchange rate fix is held to help businesses and investors value their multi-currency assets and liabilities.
Until February, this happened every day in the 30 seconds before and after 16:00 in London and the result is known as the 4pm fix, or just the fix.
In a scheme known as "building ammo", a single trader would amass a large position in a currency and, just before or during the fix, would exit that position.
Other members of the cartel would be aware of the plan and would be able to profit.
"They engaged in a brazen 'heads I win, tails you lose' scheme to rip off their clients," said New York State superintendent of financial services Benjamin Lawsky.
The fines break a number of records. The criminal fines of more than $2.5bn are the largest set of anti-trust fines obtained by the Department of Justice.
The £284m fine imposed on Barclays by Britain's Financial Conduct Authority was a record by the regulator.
Meanwhile, the $925m fine imposed on Citigroup by the Department of Justice was the biggest penalty for breaking the Sherman Act, which covers competition law.
The guilty pleas from the banks are seen as highly significant as banks have settled previous investigations without an admission of guilt.
The Attorney General warned that further wrongdoing would be taken extremely seriously: "The Department of Justice will not hesitate to file criminal charges for financial institutions that reoffend.
"Banks that cannot or will not clean up their act need to understand - it will be enforced."
If anyone in the City thought that the latest multi-billion pound fines for the banks meant that they were now out of the regulatory woods, they should think again.
The New York State Department of Financial Services is still investigating Barclays, for example, over other aspects of the foreign exchange market including electronic trading.
Barclays is also being investigated in the UK over its Qatari fund raising during the financial crisis and in America over the operation of its "dark pool" electronic trading business.
Other allegations include manipulating the energy markets in California and the US precious metal market.
For the Royal Bank of Scotland it is not a much rosier picture. The bank is facing a class action from major investors over whether it gave the correct information to the market during the financial crisis and is also facing an investigation into its mortgage business in the US.
Civil legal actions on foreign exchange manipulation are also in the offing for both banks.
It looks like the major global banks are going to face many more "we deeply regret this behaviour" days ahead.
Royal Bank of Scotland will pay fines totalling $669m (£430m) - $395m to the Department of Justice and $274m to the Federal Reserve - to resolve the investigations.
Ross McEwan, chief executive of RBS, said: "The serious misconduct that lies at the heart of today's announcements has no place in the bank that I am building.
"Pleading guilty for such wrongdoing is another stark reminder of how badly this bank lost its way and how important it is for us to regain trust."
Antony Jenkins, Barclays chief executive, said: "The misconduct at the core of these investigations is wholly incompatible with Barclays' purpose and values and we deeply regret that it occurred.
"I share the frustration of shareholders and colleagues that some individuals have once more brought our company and industry into disrepute."
Shares in Barclays gained 3.4% and RBS rose 1.8%.
The fines are "much lower than expected," said Chirantan Barua, an analyst at Bernstein Research in London. "No retroactive massive Libor fine for Barclays is a big positive, as is no reopening of the NPA (non-prosecution agreement).
"The fine came in £270m better than we expected for RBS, £850m better in the case of Barclays," he said.
Warriors lost 14-7 to the Galway-based team on Saturday after going down to 14 men when prop Sila Puafisi was sent off for a wreckless tackle.
That defeat denied Warriors a home semi-final.
"We know we have to be controlled even when we are under duress," Townsend told BBC Scotland.
Despite the defeat that ended Warriors' nine-match winning run, Townsend was not entirely disheartened by his team's display.
"There were times in that game where we let the noise or things that had gone against us affect our decision-making.
"We started the game well and at the end managed to get close to the Connacht line as we tried to get the draw that would have earned us a home semi-final.
"It's just the bits in the middle that we need to work on - our decision-making, our execution and also our emotional control which led to us giving away a couple of soft penalties."
Townsend is considering changes to his starting XV for the semi-final on Saturday 21 May, with Leinster playing Ulster in the other semi-final the night before.
"We know a little more about Connacht having played them on Saturday, and about whether our blend will have to change," explained Townsend.
"But there's something to be said for that group of players to get that second chance because they have that immediate experience of playing against Connacht.
"They were very tough, aggressive, tackled well and tried to move the ball early. They did a couple of things in attack and defence we hadn't seen before.
"We saw enough to know they are a tough team who play with pride and passion and on a dry day we know they are going to move the ball about."
No team has won an away semi-final in the history of the Pro12, but Townsend says his players are capable of breaking the trend.
"It would be nice to break the record, we'll have to do our very best to do that," he added. "We have experience of winning semi-finals.
"Connacht play with a lot of passion at home, the atmosphere there is like Scotstoun, really noisy and tough for referees.
"I hope the referee is strong and not influenced by the crowd. As a group we need to stay strong too.
"If decisions go against us we must keep focussed, but I have huge belief in the players and that we can come back with a win."
Owen Mooney, who lives on the street where the incident happened, said he passed the lorry when it was stopped with hazard lights on.
He said when he returned three or four minutes later the cab of the lorry was on fire and about five to 10 minutes later it had "exploded".
Mr Mooney said he was told the driver had seen smoke coming from the back of the lorry.
He then saw flames underneath it when he stopped and checked and then tried to get people away from the vehicle.
Mr Mooney said there were three explosions in all.
"There was one explosion whenever the fire brigade was here - it was probably the tyres exploding because of the fire," he said.
"Thankfully everybody's OK, it could have been a lot worse because there were children in the street, which was obviously very busy."
The bacterium, found in a California lake, uses the usually poisonous element arsenic in place of phosphorus.
The find, described in Science, gives weight to the long-standing idea that life on other planets may have a radically different chemical makeup.
It also has implications for the way life arose on Earth - and how many times it may have done so.
The "extremophile" bacteria were found in a briny lake in eastern California in the US.
While bacteria have been found in inhospitable environments and can consume what other life finds poisonous, this bacterial strain has actually taken arsenic on board in its cellular machinery.
Until now, the idea has been that life on Earth must be composed of at least the six elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus - no example had ever been found that violates this golden rule of biochemistry.
The bacteria were found as part of a hunt for life forms radically different from those we know.
"At the moment we have no idea if life is just a freak, bizarre accident which is confined to Earth or whether it is a natural part of a fundamentally biofriendly universe in which life pops up wherever there are Earth-like conditions," explained Paul Davies, the Arizona State University and Nasa Astrobiology Institute researcher who co-authored the research.
"Although it is fashionable to support the latter view, we have zero evidence in favour of it," he told BBC News.
"If that is the case then life should've started many times on Earth - so perhaps there's a 'shadow biosphere' all around us and we've overlooked it because it doesn't look terribly remarkable."
Proof of that idea could come in the form of organisms on Earth that break the "golden rules" of biochemistry - in effect, finding life that evolved separately from our own lineage.
Study lead author Felisa Wolfe-Simon and her colleagues Professor Davies and Ariel Anbar of Arizona State University initially suggested in a paper an alternative scheme to life as we know it.
Their idea was that there might be life in which the normally poisonous element arsenic (in particular as chemical groups known as arsenates) could work in place of phosphorus and phosphates.
Putting it to the test, the three authors teamed up with a number of collaborators and began to study the bacteria that live in Mono Lake in California, home to arsenic-rich waters.
The researchers began to grow the bacteria in a laboratory on a diet of increasing levels of arsenic, finding to their surprise that the microbes eventually fully took up the element, even incorporating it into the phosphate groups that cling to the bacteria's DNA.
Notably, the research found that the bacteria thrived best in a phosphorus environment.
That probably means that the bacteria, while a striking first for science, are not a sign of a "second genesis" of life on Earth, adapted specifically to work best with arsenic in place of phosphorus.
However, Professor Davies said, the fact that an organism that breaks such a perceived cardinal rule of life makes it is a promising step forward.
"This is just a weird branch on the known tree of life," said Professor Davies. "We're interested ultimately in finding a different tree of life... that will be the thing that will have massive implications in the search for life in the Universe.
"The take-home message is: who knows what else is there? We've only scratched the surface of the microbial realm."
John Elliott, a Leeds Metropolitan University researcher who is a veteran of the UK's search for extraterestrial life, called the find a "major discovery".
"It starts to show life can survive outside the traditional truths and universals that we thought you have to use... this is knocking one brick out of that wall," he said.
"The general consensus is that this really could still be an evolutionary adaptation rather than a second genesis. But it's early days, within about the first year of this project; it's certainly one to think on and keep looking for that second genesis, because you've almost immediately found an example of something that's new."
Simon Conway Morris of the University of Cambridge agreed that, whatever its implications for extraterrestrial life, the find was significant for what we understand about life on Earth.
"The bacteria is effectively painted by the investigators into an 'arsenic corner', so what it certainly shows is the astonishing and perhaps under-appreciated versatility of life," he told BBC News.
"It opens some really exciting prospects as to both un-appreciated metabolic versatility... and prompting the questions as to the possible element inventory of remote Earth-like planets".
Steven Benner, an astrobiologist based at the University of Florida took a measured approach to the significance of the find at a press conference held by Nasa on Thursday.
However, he noted that although the conditions on Earth may not have particularly favoured the development of arsenic-based life, that may not be the case elsewhere in the cosmos - or even nearer to home.
"In our Solar System, there are places - Titan, a moon of Saturn, is one of them - where the temperature is much lower," Professor Benner said.
"Where very reactive species like arsenate could very well be useful because although they are too unstable to exist in many environments on Earth, they're not too unstable to exist on Titan, which is at -290F.
"You might very well want to have that increased reactivity just to get the reactions you want and make your biopolymer chains go faster."

"From the schoolchildren who watched the launch in class, people watching on the underground... your messages mean a great deal to me," he blogged.
His blog also contains a selection of some of the best messages from social media sites Twitter and Instagram.
He arrived at the International Space Station for six months on Tuesday.
As he does not have the time to reply to each message individually, he wrote: "The support for our launch was outstanding, and I want to thank each of you for the #GoodLuckTim messages.
"From the schoolchildren who watched the launch in class, people watching on the underground, and viewers outside of UK, your messages have shown how much interest there is in space and they mean a great deal to me.
"A big thank you to those who attended launch celebrations up and down the country and especially the school kids who attended the event at the Science Museum. We are very busy up here but I promise to start sharing more of our life in space soon."
The former Army aviator and helicopter test pilot has posted three pictures to his Twitter feed since Friday - one of the view towards Earth, one of him giving a thumbs-up to all his supporters and another of him giving blood for experiments being conducted.
On Friday, during a live link-up from the space platform, he said his first few days in space had been "absolutely spectacular".
Answering questions from reporters gathered at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany, he said the first two hours had been "pretty rough" and he had been feeling "disorientated and dizzy".
But he was able to show them a backwards somersault and said he was surprised how quickly his body had adapted to weightlessness.
From Westbourne, near Chichester in West Sussex, the UK's first professional British astronaut said the most unexpected thing about the experience so far had been "the blackness of space".
"We always talk about seeing the view of planet Earth and how beautiful it is and you come to expect that.
"But what people don't mention that much is when you look in the opposite direction and you see how dark space is."
He is among six crew members living and working on the space station.
According to the European Space Agency, he has a number of tasks to perform, including unpacking cargo and taking part in an experiment looking at the effects of microgravity on the bone marrow.

The 74-year-old man was rushed to hospital after the accident on Sunday but died of his injuries.
The official, named locally as Dieter Strack, had gone to measure a throw but was hit by a javelin before it hit the ground, according to local media.
The competition was called off after the incident.
The 15-year-old competitor who threw the javelin is receiving psychological counselling, police spokesman Andre Hartwig told the Associated Press.
A statement on the website of the local athletics association identified the man as Mr Strack and said he was a "much-loved and experienced" sports judge.
"All of us who were there are horrified and in shock... We will always remember Dieter Strack," the statement said.
Occasional accidents occur in athletics disciplines such as the javelin and the hammer, but deaths are extremely rare.
In 2007, French long jumper Salim Sdiri was speared by a javelin at an athletics meeting in Rome and had to be taken to hospital for his injuries.
Amongst those contributing is a County Antrim egg company which was badly damaged by winter storms in 2013 and needed help then.
The food is being packed into 100 Christmas hampers for distribution across Northern Ireland.
It is being done by a charity, Rural Support.
It was set up 13 years ago to help rural communities after foot-and -mouth disease.
The hampers include items like butter, cheese, chicken, bacon and a Christmas pudding - to a value of about £50.
Seventeen companies are involved between them donating about £5,000 worth of food.
Rural Support's chief executive Jude McCann, said calls to its helpline were up 25% in recent months on the same period last year.
"There are a whole range of issues, some finance and debt problems, also around relationship issues and mental health problems," he said.
Many farm families are under enormous income pressure due to poor prices in dairy, beef and sheep.
Mr McCann said some were heavily in debt, and others were hard pushed to pay regular bills such as animal feed.
In some cases. they were choosing to feed animals before feeding themselves, he said.
Niall Delargy's business was badly damaged in March 2013. Heavy snows collapsed one of his poultry houses in the Glens of Antrim, killing stock and hitting about a third of his production.
He turned to Rural Support for help, both financial and emotional.
He is now returning the favour by donating sixty dozen eggs to the appeal.
"Now our business is in a better place, we'd like to give a little bit back where we can," he said.
A statement said the Italian had taken up the role of chairman with immediate effect after passing the Football League's Owners' and Directors' Test.
Cellino was banned from being involved until the end of the season after being found guilty of tax evasion in Italy.
He had previously stated he did not intend to return to the club until he had cleared his name independently.
In January, against the League's decision to disqualify him as owner.
He was subsequently given permission by the League to attend the club's final match of the season against Rotherham on Saturday.
During the game, supporters chanted their support for head coach Neil Redfearn, whose position is currently uncertain, but Cellino is reported not to have been at Elland Road for the fixture.
Redfearn's contract expires this summer and it is uncertain whether his deal will be renewed under the club's current regime.
And Cellino admitted he is undecided on the coach's future.
"I need to decide whether Neil is best for the club and can lead us back to the Premier League," he said.
"I am in love with Neil and I don't want to talk to anyone else about the job. I made sure he had a clause guaranteeing he would pick the team because I don't want a coach I control."
David Hockaday, Cellino's first appointment as Leeds manager, was sacked after six matches, while replacement Darko Milanic left after just 32 days.
North Kesteven District Council unanimously passed the planning application for the 31m (102ft) steel spire at Canwick Hill.
The memorial to the Bomber Command crews who flew during Second World War will include an interpretation centre.
The spire was reduced from 50m (164ft) after it was decided to place the airmen's names along the base.
Work on the £5m memorial is expected to be completed in June 2015.
Cllr Geoffrey Whittle, a veteran of Bomber Command, described the memorial as "a wonderful thing".
The names of the airmen from Bomber Command will be engraved at the bottom of the spire at ground level.
It is hoped that eventually the names of all 55,573 personnel who died in World War Two can be included.
The height of the spire is the equivalent of the wingspan of a Lancaster bomber.
Canwick Hill, within sight of Lincoln Cathedral, was once a landmark for crews returning from missions.
Bosses at St Kentigern Hospice, St Asaph, broke the news to 40 workers at a board meeting.
Trefor Jones, the new chairman, said he hoped any redundancies would be voluntary and called for the public's help.
The 15-year-old centre is facing a funding crisis because it costs £1.6m a year to run but only has an annual income of £1.3m.
Mr Jones, who is Lord Lieutenant of Clwyd, said he hoped appealing to the public could plug the funding shortfall and avoid the need for job losses.
He said: "With escalating costs and increasing complexity in the levels of care required, the immediate challenge is to ensure the financial viability and integrity of the hospice.
"The board is working with NHS partners to try to reduce the impact while exploring ways of adapting the service.
"One of the things we are looking at is how we can meet the needs of people in their homes with support for family members, and how these can link effectively with in-patient and day-care services.
"These are very difficult times for the hospice but I am confident with the employees we have and the community we live in we can get through this."
The hospice covers an area stretching from Colwyn Bay to Flint and, since it opened, has had about 1,900 day-patients. Since 2003 there have also been more than 1,500 in-patients.
At present its income comes from four main sources: Fundraising and donations contributing £500,000; charity shops £300,000; a total of £300,000 in grants from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and the Welsh Assembly Government; and £200,000 from legacies.
Mr Jones said the centre needed £4,400 a day just to maintain its current service, with the greatest proportion of its expenditure going on the £1.2m annual wage bill.
He added: "We need to increase substantially the donations and regular income we receive, and joining the lottery is an easy way for people to help. In the longer term, remembering the hospice in your will would also be a big help to us."
The hospice shares a site with the HM Stanley Hospital which faces possible closure, although the future of St Kentigern Hospice is not currently in doubt.
St David's Hospice in Llandudno said it would be offering its support.
Chairman Gladys Harrison said: "We at St David's Hospice are sympathetic to the news of financial difficulties experienced by St Kentigern Hospice and, like many hospices, we rely heavily on the continued support of the communities we serve.
"We will, of course, offer our support to the health board and St Kentigern in any review or adaptation of the present provision of specialist palliative care services by hospices."
The joint operation is being conducted by the UK's HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), the Guernsey Border Agency and the Manx and Cheshire Constabularies.
Raids took place in and around Douglas, on the Isle of Man, as well as across the UK and Guernsey.
An Isle of Man police spokesman said "significant amounts of cash and business records" had been seized.
However, the force declined to provide any further details about the suspects.
Insp Derek Flint, from the Isle of Man force, had earlier warned of "considerable police activity" in and around Hill Street in Douglas and Manor Park in Onchan.
He added: "The public should not be alarmed to see officers from HM Revenue & Customs and the National Crime Agency, who are supporting the searches on the Isle of Man.
"A considerable number of staff have been deployed to the various addresses, with a view to minimising the time it takes to search each address and reduce the impact on businesses and staff in and around those premises."
But the home side made no mention of a stomach bug affecting up to 20 squad members in their team announcement.
Defending champions Glasgow, three points better off than the hosts, are seeking an eighth consecutive victory.
Finn Russell takes over at fly-half amid seven Warriors starting changes.
Williams has played only once for the Llanelli-based team this season, a 60-minute outing against Connacht ahead of the Six Nations.
Steven Shingler returns at fly-half after a knee problem.
Following two comfortable victories in Italy, Glasgow press their claim for a home play-off by reintroducing scrum-half Henry Pyrgos and full-back Stuart Hogg.
Flanker Josh Strauss also returns, while winger Lee Jones and prop Sila Puafisi have recovered from recent knocks.
"We've got three tough games left to play of the regular season, starting with the Scarlets," said head coach Gregor Townsend.
"They've already beaten us this season and they're only three points behind us in the league, so we're well aware of the challenge we face."
Scarlets were 16-10 winners in Glasgow on the opening weekend of the season but Warriors won both matches of the Champions Cup double-header in December, including a 43-6 thumping at Scotstoun.
For the hosts, Williams has been sidelined since Wales' 64-17 win over Italy in the 2016 Six Nations.
"Liam's on track. He's trained very, very well," said Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac.
"We'd give him probably a better than 50/50 chance [of playing against Glasgow]. It's looking positive."
Pivac said Williams' presence in training has boosted his team-mates.
"He's a real competitor - he lifts the guys around him and it's a joy to have him in the team," said the New Zealander.
"It's a shame he's not been available for large parts of the season, so it's certainly good to see him running around."
Prior to news of the bug affecting the squad, Scarlets had been handed a boost, with flanker Lewis Rawlins, fly-half Steven Shingler and wingers Michael Tagicakibau and Harry Robinson also set to return.

Politicians and those managing the landscape need to do more to develop business, jobs and affordable housing.
Three national parks and five areas of outstanding national beauty (AONB) were examined.
The natural resources minister said it endorsed his view that a fresh approach is needed.
Carl Sargeant commissioned the study, chaired by Prof Terry Marsden - of Cardiff University's school of planning and geography - to see how Wales' eight "natural landscapes" are working.
The first national park in Wales was established in Snowdonia in 1951, while it is nearly 60 years since the Gower peninsula - with its 70 sq miles (181 sq km) of beaches and cliffs - became the first AONB in Wales and England.
Earlier studies estimate the national parks alone are worth over £500m to the Welsh economy.
They employ nearly 30,000 people - with 38% linked to the environment.
But for a long time, rural areas have been net losers in health services, schools, shops and broadband, Prof Marsden's report says.
It also warns the current focus on city regions could take more investment away from rural areas.
At the moment, rural areas tend to export their raw materials, but the real economic value would be in producing things locally too.
In turn, it would help keep more young people in local jobs.
The report is set against a background of a national parks' population which is forecast to decline - but the age profile is getting older.
The number of over 65s living in the Brecon Beacons alone is predicted to rise by 28% by 2028.
CASE STUDY: 'NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK IN A COFFEE SHOP'
The report points to good examples of projects already working, including hydro-electric power in the Brecon Beacons. Local alliances have produced 10 projects to increase jobs and 40 to develop new products.
Gethin Havard, a farmer in Sennybridge, Powys, and vice-chair of the British Wool Marketing Board, said there needed to be jobs beyond coffee shops and outdoor pursuits.
He knows of young people from farming backgrounds who have moved away.
"Jobs are very scarce. Agriculture is at the heart of this community and is struggling at moment.
"But the opportunity to diversify is very limited - you won't see any sizeable windmills or solar farms in the national park."

The report's 69 recommendations include:
Mr Sargeant is appointing Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas to chair a new Future Landscapes working group, bringing together national parks, AONB interest groups and councils.
It will report after the Assembly election.
The minister believes landscapes can also help promote healthier living with the wider population - so-called "factories of well being".
"We will continue to protect national parks and AONBs but we can use them better," said Mr Sargeant.
The Lib Dems' John Leech won the Didsbury West, ending Labour's 100% control of the authority.
Labour had held all 96 seats since 2014. Its candidate Barnaby Lane was beaten by 702 votes.
Mr Leech, who was an MP for Manchester Withington before he lost his seat in the 2015 General Election, took 53% of the vote.
"I couldn't be happier to be back on the council and back in a position to help local residents," he said.
"Thank you so much to everyone who voted, supported and campaigned. This is a dream."
Frank died two days after the west Belfast incident, in April 1972.
Bernadette Connolly told the court she saw an army Saracen vehicle with a rifle and rubber baton round gun poking out of the hatches.
She explained how she heard a bang and saw a young boy lying on the ground.
Mrs Connolly, who was 14 at the time, said she saw no rioting in the immediate area of Divis Flats at the time, although she had heard some elsewhere in the general area a little earlier.
Drove off
The court heard a statement Mrs Connolly had previously given to the Historical Enquiries Team (HET) stating that two soldiers got out of the vehicle and looked at the boy, lifted something she could not see from the ground and left without offering him first aid.
"I thought they were going to help. But they were looking for something," Mrs Connolly said.
She later added "They picked something up and drove off."
Frank Rowntree suffered serious head and brain injuries having been struck above the left ear, and never recovered.
There have been allegations that the rubber bullet had been doctored to add a battery to the cartridge.
Holding his hand
Mrs Connolly said she then approached the boy, called for help, and arranged for him to be carried to the home of her sister, Mary Kennedy, who was a nurse.
Mrs Connolly later went with Frank in an ambulance to the Royal Victoria Hospital, holding his hand until his family arrived.
Commenting on her memory of 44 years ago, Mrs Connolly said
"It's a day I'll never forget. It's just etched on my mind."
Earlier, former state pathologist Prof Jack Crane said that he thought that Frank Rowntree had been struck directly from a distance of a few metres by something smooth, without any sharp edges.
The court had previously examined what a soldier would have been able to see from inside an armoured vehicle.
Brian Murphy, a civil engineer, had examined Humber Pig vehicles for the coroner, and gave evidence on various hatch sizes, and the potential field of view of a soldier attempting to fire a baton round.
His evidence suggested that a soldier would have had a "very limited view" out of the vehicle.
Rules of engagement
Once a baton round gun was inserted into the hatch, there was even less opportunity to see what it was pointing at.
It was suggested that it would have been difficult to point the weapon at a point on the ground any closer than approximately 11 metres from the vehicle.
Medical evidence suggests that Frank Rowntree was struck directly by the projectile from a distance of just a few metres.
The army rules of engagement advised soldiers to aim at the ground rather than directly at rioters, allowing the rubber bullet to ricochet, but it has been established that in most cases this did not happen.
Army records suggest that well over 23,000 rubber baton rounds were fired in Northern Ireland in 1972.
A barrister for the Ministry of Defence later pointed out that Mrs Connolly had given a rather different statement to HET officers in July 2010.
At that time, the records showed she told them she saw one soldier pick up a battery and part of a rubber bullet.
She firmly denied the barrister's suggestion she was lying in 2010, to "blacken the name of the army".
Mrs Connolly told the court she did not lie in 2010, but now does not know what the soldiers picked up.
Nick Hedges took the photos for housing charity Shelter in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
He now wants to meet the people in his pictures to find out what happened to them.
The images will be featured in an exhibition in Edinburgh's St Andrew Square until 30 October.
Mr Hedges, who is now 73, said: "It would be wonderful to meet the children I photographed all those years ago and to hear their stories. I often wonder what happened to them, if they went on to lead happy and healthy lives.
"When I was commissioned by Shelter to take these photographs, I never imagined that decades later they would still have such impact - none more so than on me personally.
"The poverty and terrible conditions I witnessed shocked me to the core. My hope is that all these years later, by reconnecting with some of those I photographed, I am able to hear good news of what happened to the families."
Director of Shelter Scotland Graeme Brown said: "I encourage anyone who recognises themselves, or family members and friends to get in touch with us. We want to hear the stories behind these iconic images, and in particularly what happened after they were taken.
"These photographs are a sobering piece of history not only for Shelter Scotland, but the nation as a whole and it's important to preserve the stories behind them."
Bank of Scotland's latest PMI found growth was driven by a "steady expansion" in new business.
Manufacturing saw strong growth in new orders, while new work in the service sector rose at a more moderate rate.
The survey also indicated an increase in recruitment, with job creation reaching a 31-month high.
The PMI - which measures changes in combined manufacturing and services output - stood at 53.8 in July, the highest figure since October 2014.
Any number above 50 suggests expansion.
Scotland's private sector has now grown for eight months in a row, according to the bank.
Fraser Sime, from Bank of Scotland Commercial Banking, said: "July's survey results signalled the Scottish private sector moving up a gear, as the PMI posted its strongest result in 33 months.
"This good news was fuelled by the service sector returning to meaningful growth, alongside a faster increase in manufacturing output.
"Job creation remained positive for the second month running, with July marking the fastest expansion in employment in over two-and-a-half years.
"Employment growth was consistent across the manufacturing and service sectors."
He added: "Input price inflation remained strong in the latest survey, with many firms citing wage inflation and the exchange rate.
"That said, the positive effects of a subdued currency could be seen in the growth of manufacturing exports in July."
Keith Brown, the Scottish government's economy secretary, said the results were a further vote of confidence in the Scottish economy, coming on the back of GDP figures that showed growth four times that of the UK over the first three months of the year, with unemployment also at a record low of 3.8%.
But he warned that uncertainty over Brexit "continues to cast a shadow over the future economic outlook, threatening jobs, investment and living standards".
A recent survey by Scottish Chambers of Commerce suggested Scotland's economy would continue to grow this year.
Its quarterly economic indicator found most businesses had a positive outlook for the coming months.
However, firms also highlighted longer-term threats to success, such as falling real incomes and rising recruitment problems.
PCS union members have been involved in an all-out strike since 28 April over changes to weekend working allowances.
Additional financial support from the Welsh Government has now allowed NMW to improve the previous offer, it said.
As a result, an outline agreement has been reached with the union.
The improved terms would apply to all staff.
They include:
The museum has sites in Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Blaenavon in Torfaen, Llanberis in Gwynedd, and Carmarthenshire.
The ballot, which opened on Friday, closes on 24 June and the union has recommended acceptance.
A joint statement from NMW and the PCS union said they "aim to bring this dispute to an end quickly and resume a normal service for visitors and the people of Wales as soon as possible".
The picture, taken in April by her mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, shows the princess at the family's home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk.
The couple released a similar photograph of Charlotte last year to celebrate her turning one.
Kensington Palace said they "hope that everyone enjoys this photograph of Princess Charlotte as much as they do".
In the image, Charlotte is wearing a knitted yellow cardigan with a sheep motif and a navy blue clip in her hair.
The family is expected to throw a birthday party for the Princess.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge keep Charlotte out of the public eye, but she was pictured at the Christmas Day church service in the village of Bucklebury in Berkshire.
Another notable appearance was during the family's tour of Canada, where she was seen several times including at a children's party in Victoria, British Colombia.
The palace said in a statement: "The Duke and Duchess are very pleased to share this photograph as they celebrate Princess Charlotte's second birthday.
"Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank everyone for all of the lovely messages they have received."
Princess Charlotte will be a bridesmaid at her aunt Pippa Middleton's wedding later this month. Her brother, George, will be a page boy at the ceremony.
When Prince William leaves his air ambulance post, the family will spend more time at Kensington Palace as the duke carries more of his royal duties.

The chairman of the county's Clinical Commissioning Group said the local NHS needs to become more efficient by 2020 in response to rising demand.
Dr Joe McManners said there was also pressure from central government to cut health budgets.
A public consultation into the savings will be launched in the autumn.
Dr McManners told the BBC the county's NHS needs to save £176m over four years, or health providers "would have to start prioritising what treatments are available".
He added they were hoping to move to a system that tries to prevent issues before they happen, rather than treating them afterwards.
This includes developing community services, delivering care closer to home and trying to reduce demand for hospital care.
There will be a series of meetings and drop-in events over the coming months.
An Oxfordshire Transformation Board was established last year between NHS trusts, GP federations, and Oxfordshire County Council.
Health bosses said the consultation will decide the future of a number of Oxfordshire NHS services, including Wantage Community Hospital.
Despite the arrests, some bags of waste were dumped inside some local government offices, local media say.
Last week, raw sewage was thrown at opposition leader Helen Zille as she toured poor areas of the city.
She is premier of Western Cape - the only province not run by the ANC.
The BBC's Mohammed Allie in Cape Town says there is no doubt that housing and sanitation are a real problem in Cape Town but many people are asking why these protests have only taken place in Cape Town, when the same issue exists elsewhere in the country.
The African National Congress (ANC) has distanced itself from the manner of these protests.
At the moment, many township residents share outside toilets, where conditions are often unhygienic and where some women have been raped at night.
The protesters had reportedly travelled by train from townships near Cape Town with bags of human waste before they were detained.
Former ANC councillor Andile Lili, who has been expelled from the party over a separate matter, is among those to have been arrested.
"We are emptying our toilets there because our toilets have smelled for three months," he told South Africa's Eyewitness News.
The protesters accuse the local government, run by Ms Zille's Democratic Alliance (DA), of not doing enough to provide proper housing and sanitation to townships.
The DA argues that it does not have the money to do this for all of the region's inhabitants.
It has provided portable toilets to some residents but the protesters say this is not good enough.
It is the contents of these portable toilets which is being used in the protests, which local media have dubbed the "poo wars".
Some was also left outside parliament last week.
DA official Ivan Meyer said some human waste had been left outside his offices on Monday.
"Clearly this is an indication of how low the ANC and the ANCYL [ANC Youth League] is going to fight the election and I'm not worried about it," Mr Meyer said.
In 2010, the ANC protested in Cape Town after the DA-run administration built permanent flushing toilets but did not enclose them.

Johnny McNicholl crossed early into his Scarlets debut, and Werner Kruger extended the hosts' lead.
Richardt Strauss cut the deficit but Leinster had Barry Daly sent off for a high tackle on Aled Thomas.
Will Boyde and Ryan Elias put Scarlets into what looked to be a comfortable lead but a late Andrew Porter try salvaged a bonus point for Leinster.
Scarlets, who were without Wales players Samson Lee, Ken Owens, Scott Williams, Jonathan Davies, Gareth Davies and Liam Williams, move up to fourth, while Leinster remain top despite the defeat.
McNicholl, who joined Scarlets from New Zealand Super Rugby side Crusaders, scored his first try for the region inside the opening 10 minutes.
After Leinster's Mike McCarthy was sent to the sin-bin, Scarlets made their advantage count as Kruger drove the ball over to extend their lead.
The visitors were made to pay further when Steff Evans kept the ball alive and rewarded Scarlets' perseverance as he touched down just before McCarthy returned.
A frustrating period for Leinster continued when, just moments after the restart, Daly was red-carded for a dangerous tackle on Thomas.
Two minutes later, Boyde caught Leinster's defence open and sealed Scarlets' bonus point with the majority of the second half still to play.
There was late drama, however, as Adam Byrne and Tom Daly got on the scoreboard for Leinster, who ensured they did not leave empty-handed as Porter touched down with a late try.
Scarlets: Aled Thomas; Johnny McNicholl, Steff Hughes, Hadleigh Parkes (capt), Steff Evans; Rhys Patchell, Jonathan Evans, Wyn Jones, Ryan Elias, Werner Kruger, Tom Price, David Bulbring, Aaron Shingler, James Davies, Will Boyde.

She told activists in Swansea the party was gaining strength after the "struggle" of coalition with the Conservatives at Westminster.
Ms Williams claimed the five-strong Lib Dem group in the assembly has punched above its weight.
The conference began with a minute's silence following the attacks in Paris.
She told delegates that people were "open to giving us another look" before May's election.
"I want everyone to know that it's our party that puts people first," Ms Williams said.
"That we're on the side of pupils, parents and patients.
"We've had years of the same Labour government listening to vested interests, but ignoring the people they're meant to stand up for. It's time for change."
Having been in coalition with the Conservatives since 2010, the Lib Dems suffered heavy losses in the general election in May, leaving them with just eight MPs, only one of them in Wales.
"Campaigning during the coalition was tough, but now people are again willing to listen, people are open to giving us another look," Ms Williams said.
"We are growing. We are united. And the Welsh Liberal Democrats are needed now more than ever."
Polls suggest the party could struggle in next May's assembly elections, but Ms Williams argued polls had been proved wrong in the past, "and they will be wrong again."
A UN-linked tribunal asked India to suspend its court case, pending international arbitration.
The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea also rejected Italy's request for the marines to be freed while they await the final ruling.
The case has led to a bitter diplomatic row between Delhi and Rome.
The Supreme Court has adjourned the case until the third week of January.
The tribunal said that in addition to halting all current court proceedings, both countries should "refrain from initiating new ones which might aggravate or extend the dispute".
Both sides should submit a report to the tribunal by 24 September ahead of hearings, it added.
Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone face murder charges and are on bail awaiting trial.
Mr Girone is currently staying in the Italian embassy in Delhi, while India's Supreme Court has allowed Mr Latorre to temporarily return to Italy on health grounds.
The marines were guarding an Italian oil tanker when they opened fire, killing two men off the Kerala coast in South India. The marines said they mistook the fishermen for pirates.
Italy says that as the shooting took place in international waters, the men should be tried in Italy.
However, India wants the men tried in an Indian court. It has ruled out the possibility of the death penalty.
#KidsStrike3rdMay, #letkidsbekids and Dear Ms Morgan - in reference to the education secretary - have all been trending on Twitter as parents protest over testing young children at school.
Also, an online petition created by a group of parents has seen more than 45,000 signatures supporting teachers in boycotting Sats.
Here, parents explain why they want their children to face fewer tests.
"I have taken my children out of school as a statement to the government that we should have a say in this process.
"My children have been making posters this morning and we will be going to a local museum.
"The government is not listening to teachers or head teachers.
"The tests are so hard and unobtainable for some. It saps the fun out of learning, and once there is a loss of love for learning it is hard to get back.
"Where I teach there is the formal government testing in May that is really a test on the school's performance.
"Where my children go to school, they have informal tests three or four times a year.
"We [teachers] assess children every day and we know where they are academically so there is no need for all of these tests - the government should trust our judgement.
"My youngest one will take it in her stride but my older child is a lot more aware and worries about failing.
"I have no objection to tests, but they need to be relevant to daily life and not abstract.
"There is a place for Sats but not necessarily for young children."
"My child is already being prepared for testing next year and is being trained and coached by teachers.
"Tests are poorly designed and implemented, and there is over-testing and irrelevant testing.
"At six years old, children are expected to be at the same stage as eight-year-olds as a lot of learning by rote is squeezed in a short space of time.
"There is a narrow focus on literacy and numeracy. For example, children are expected to learn specific elements of grammar that I as a writer might not even know!
"It's experimenting on our children that may not work.
"Schools have written letters of support of the action parents are taking.
"About 1,000 people turned up at Preston Park today. It is a day of learning for our children - there are workshops of storytelling, writing, art, and yoga, and a series of speeches including one from the children's laureate Chris Riddell.
"Instead of looking to China where children are stressed and disengaged, we should be learning about teaching in Finland and support deep learning that will engender creativity and a prosperous economy in the UK.
"We're willing to stand up for educational freedom, and freedom to learn is one of the most important things in democracy."
On the Victoria Derbyshire programme she said parents were concerned by the amount of time devoted to preparing children for tests.
"I didn't want my youngest to find out about her Sats test so I decided to keep her in school.
"Teachers at the school have not told children about the tests so as not to stress them out, but they need to prepare for them.
"But last week, although she is very bright, my seven-year-old came home in tears because she couldn't do something that was taught to her at school.
"She was so worried she said, 'Mummy, if I don't pass I won't get a job.'
"For my 11-year-old, the practice questions are crazy.
"I'm a graduate with a first-class honours degree and my mother-in-law is a professor, and yet none of us could understand a question given to my daughter about subjunctive verbs.
"Also, changes have been made from last year so subjects have to be relearned.
"Teachers are panicking but they're doing their best.
"I would like to see more teacher-led assessments, as they know my child is doing well. There should be more creativity and learning about real life.
"I don't want children needing therapy because of tests - schools are becoming like exam factories."

The robot fired its ChemCam laser at a tennis-ball-sized stone lying about 2.5m away on the ground.
The brief but powerful burst of light from the instrument vaporised the surface of the rock, revealing details of its basic chemistry.
This was just target practice for ChemCam, proving it is ready to begin the serious business of investigating the geology of the Red Planet.
It is part of a suite of instruments on the one-tonne robot, which landed two weeks ago in a deep equatorial depression known as Gale Crater.
Over the course of one Martian year, Curiosity will try to determine whether past environments at its touchdown location could ever have supported life.
The US-French ChemCam instrument will be a critical part of that investigation, helping to select the most interesting objects for study.
The inaugural target of the laser was a 7cm-wide rock dubbed "Coronation" (previously N165).
It had no particular science value, and was expected to be just another lump of ubiquitous Martian basalt, a volcanic rock.
Its appeal was the nice smooth face it offered to the laser.
ChemCam zapped it with 30 pulses of infrared light during a 10-second period.
Begin exploring Mars
Each pulse delivered to a tiny spot more than a million watts of power for about five billionths of a second.
The instrument observed the resulting spark through a telescope; the component colours would have told scientists which atomic elements were present.
"We got a great spectrum of Coronation - lots of signal," said ChemCam principal investigator Roger Wiens of Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico.
"Our team is both thrilled and working hard, looking at the results. After eight years building the instrument, it's pay-off time."
One aspect being considered by the team is whether the signal changed slightly as the laser burrowed through any exterior layers that might have coated Coronation.
"Coatings can tell you about, say, the weather or what has happened to a rock through the eons," Dr Wiens told the BBC last week.
"We will look at the first few laser shots and see if there is any difference as we move further into the rock."
The British company e2v provided the imaging sensor behind the ChemCam telescope that routes the light signal, via optical fibres, to the onboard spectrometer which does the chemical analysis.
The charge-coupled device (CCD) was specially prepared for the instrument to increase its sensitivity.
"The scientists always want to see more, but they want to see more without cost to performance," said e2v's Jon Kemp.
"Our process was able to almost double the signal to noise ratio."
The first science target for ChemCam will be bedrock exposed on the ground next to Curiosity by the rocket-powered crane used to lower the vehicle to the crater floor on 6 August (GMT).
Exhaust from this descent stage scattered surface grit and pebbles to reveal a harder, compact material underneath.
The crane made four scour marks in the ground - two either side of the rover. These have been dubbed Burnside, Goulburn, Hepburn and Sleepy Dragon - names taken from ancient rock formations in Canadian North America.
Goulburn Scour will be zapped by ChemCam once the mission team has reviewed fully the Coronation performance and results.

The attorney general's office said Mr Ledezma, 59, would remain in a military prison pending his trial.
President Nicolas Maduro earlier accused the opposition mayor of being involved in a US-backed coup.
This comes on the anniversary of the start of protests against Mr Maduro's rule that left dozens of people dead.
On Friday, opponents of the president again protested in the capital against what they described as a crackdown on his political opponents.
The US has also denounced the "systemic intimidation" by the Venezuelan authorities of the country's opposition.
State department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said: "Venezuela's problems cannot be solved by criminalising legitimate, democratic dissent."
The news of Mr Ledezma's arrest was surprising, but Venezuelans have seen this before. Of 76 opposition mayors in office, 33 are facing a trial.
Last time a prominent opposition politician was jailed - Leopoldo Lopez, a year ago - there were large street protests. But not this time.
Opposition leaders asked people to not take the "government's bait" by staging large protests, a scenario which would make violence more likely. Many analysts argue that protests benefit the government as they create a common threat unifying the government's supporters, and giving Mr Maduro grounds to condemn the opposition.
The opposition's strategy this time is different. It aims to win parliamentary elections later this year by capitalising on Mr Maduro's declining popularity. That would be a outcome not seen for decades in Venezuela.
The attorney general's office said on Friday that Mr Ledezma was charged with conspiracy to plot violence against the government.
This came a day after camouflaged police smashed into the mayor's office in the banking district and carried him away.
President Maduro has said the opposition leader must answer "for all the crimes committed against the country's peace and security".
But the country's opposition is now demanding the authorities produce any evidence of the alleged conspiracy.
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles asked: "Does Maduro think that putting everyone in prison is going to get him 50 popularity points or that he's going to win elections?"
Mr Ledezma was on a list of people and foreign powers named by Mr Maduro last week as attempting to bring down his administration.
Mr Ledezma, Caracas mayor since 2008, replied that it was government corruption that was bringing down Venezuela.
Last year, weeks of anti-government protests led to more than 40 deaths.
Venezuela's economy has been heavily affected by the drop in oil prices and in late January, thousands of Venezuelans joined an opposition march in Caracas.
They voiced dissatisfaction with high inflation, crime and the shortage of many staple goods in the shops.
Muck, Rum, Eigg and Canna lie between Ardnamurchan on the west Highland coast and the Isle of Skye.
In The Small Isles, author Prof John Hunter said the islands could today be described as "calm havens".
But in the past they were the scene of a 16th Century massacre and also have a story about female warriors murdering Christian pilgrims.
The book brings together the "forgotten histories" of the four islands for the first time, according to Historic Environment Scotland, which commissioned the writing of it.
Prof Hunter is emeritus professor of ancient history and archaeology at the University of Birmingham, an honorary fellow at the University of Edinburgh and an expert on Scottish islands.
He said: "The Small Isles, consisting of Muck, Rum, Eigg and Canna, are known mostly because they have interesting names.
"They sit a good hour's ferry ride from Mallaig off the Scotland's west coast, and you might be justified in thinking these islands would have been good places for a quiet life? Wrong.
"Today, they may be calm havens of retreat, but their quiet landscapes hide centuries of hardship, intrigue, controversy and violence."
Human activity on the islands can be traced back thousands of years.
Some of the earliest people were drawn to the isles because bloodstone, a rock found on Rum that can be shaped in the same way as flint.
In following centuries, Prof Hunter said the islands were "bandit country" where even early Christian missionaries met with bloody violence.
On Eigg in 617AD, St Donnan was beheaded and his fellow monks murdered.
"Legend tells how the murders were carried out by large female warriors who lived on the Sgurr - the great volcanic outcrop that broods over the skyline on Eigg," said Prof Hunter.
The historian added that worst was to come in the 16th Century when almost the entire population of the island was wiped out during a feud between the clans Macdonald and MacLeod.
A band of MacLeods from Skye landed on Eigg where they found, and then massacred, the isle's Macdonalds in the cave where they were hiding from the raiders.
The book, which includes early 19th Century maps and archive photographs of landscapes and people, also examines the effects of the Highland Clearances on the Small Isles and the construction of Victorian sporting estates.
Prof Hunter said: "The Small Isles are fascinating in how they both display and hide their secrets within their modern landscapes.
"There are few places so geographically concentrated that provide such a vivid illustration of Scotland's past from prehistory to the present day." | The proportion of Northern Ireland pupils getting good A-level and GCSE grades has reached its highest ever.

The 13-month-old girl was sexually assaulted by Paul Worthington, 48, at her home in Barrow, Cumbria, before her sudden death in 2012, a judge ruled.
Senior coroner David Roberts quashed a previous inquest and ordered a new one.
At a pre-inquest hearing in Carlisle, Mr Worthington's lawyer requested that his client appears by videolink.
Paul Clark, representing Mr Worthington, said that practical consideration should be given to issues such as the venue, and spoke of the "level of risk and the level of intimidation he experiences on a daily basis".
Mr Roberts said: "I don't disagree, the matter needs to be managed. It's something we need to address."
Poppi Worthington, a 13-month-old from Barrow, died on 12 December 2012 after being admitted to hospital with serious injuries.
Her father Paul was subsequently arrested but no charges were brought.
In January a family court judge made public his ruling that, on the balance of probabilities, Mr Worthington had sexually abused Poppi shortly before her death.
Mr Worthington has always denied any wrongdoing.
In October 2014 an inquest by former Cumbria coroner Ian Smith ruled the cause of Poppi's death was unexplained.
There have been calls for the criminal investigation against Mr Worthington to be reopened but investigators would need fresh evidence to allow that to happen.
Both Cumbria Police and Cumbria County Council have been criticised for their investigations of Poppi's death.
The Crown Prosecution Service said it is now reviewing the case following the family court's findings.
Mr Roberts will have to consider whether to adopt and admit Mr Justice Jackson's findings when the fresh inquest investigating Poppi's death gets under way in the Autumn. It is expected to last about a week.
Mr Clark said that it would be an "error" to adopt "opinion evidence".
Mr Roberts said: "There are a number of issues I need to think about" adding that he was "anxious to address the case", which was in the interests of everyone and not least Poppi.
Counsel to the inquest, Alison Hewitt, said the hearing would look at the cause of death as well as broader circumstances including whether any state agency knew or ought to have known about risks to Poppi and, if so, what steps were taken.

Lord Dannatt told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme he personally believes the drug can have "catastrophic" mental health effects.
He said his own son took Lariam and became "extremely depressed".
The Ministry of Defence said: "The vast majority of deployed personnel already receive alternatives to Lariam."
Lord Dannatt said he was "quite content to say sorry" to troops who had taken the drug while he was head of the Army, between 2006 and 2009.
Lord Dannatt said his son Bertie had suffered mental health problems after taking two doses of Lariam - the brand name for mefloquine - before visiting Africa as a civilian in the late 1990s.
He was not in the armed forces at the time, but had been prescribed the drug by his father's Army doctor.
"He became extremely depressed," Lord Dannatt said, "not the person that he would normally be - a very bubbly, personable sort of individual.
"He got very withdrawn, and we got very worried about him.
"If that had been untreated, who knows where it would have gone."
The MoD's doctors prescribed Lariam to more than 17,000 troops between April 2007 and March 2015, although it is not the main anti-malaria drug used by the armed forces.
Lord Dannatt said the drug's side-effects - which can include depression and suicidal thoughts - could be "pretty catastrophic".
He said: "Because Bertie had that effect, whenever I've needed anti-malarial drugs, I've said, 'I'll take anything, but I'm not taking Lariam.'"
Lord Dannatt said he was "quite content to say sorry" to troops who had taken Lariam while he was head of the Army, admitting the issue had not been treated as a priority.
Asked why soldiers had continued to be prescribed Lariam during his years in charge, he said the MoD at the time "hadn't reached a settled view on whether Lariam was more beneficial or harmful".
Lord Dannatt said: "I suppose, in that period from 2003 right through to 2014 - when we were focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, which were not malarial areas, and we weren't giving a large number of people Lariam - it probably slightly slipped off our mainstream radar.
"I think we put it on the backburner."
"Andy" - not his real name - took Lariam on the Army's tour of Sierra Leone in 2000, and says he still feels its side effects.
"The effects were almost immediate... I can be a nasty, violent person and I attribute it to this drug.
"Anything could be misconstrued - a look, a phrase, a word, something completely innocent in someone else's eyes - but it would be enough to trigger a reaction. A reaction you knew you were doing but you couldn't stop it.
"It was as if the wiring in your brain had completely gone.
"Had I known what the side effects were, I would have taken my chances with malaria. It turned me into an ogre."
Andy says he also gets "depressed to the point of suicidal thoughts". He explained the only reason he has come through such periods is that he has "a little girl now, and she needs a daddy. That's the only saving grace."
The MoD says that, since 2013, its doctors have prescribed Lariam to soldiers only following individual risk assessments.
Lawyers acting for ex-soldiers seeking compensation take this to mean that before then there was no systematic requirement for this to happen.
Lord Dannatt said the MoD was afraid of opening "the floodgates" to "very expensive" claims if it admitted Lariam had harmed troops, adding that "frankly, the MoD doesn't have much money".
He said: "The right response by the MoD would be to take a generous approach, as far as Lariam is concerned, and invite those who think they have lost a loved one, or indeed an individual who believes he or she is still suffering as a result of Lariam, to put their case forward and have their case examined."
Critics of the use of Lariam by the MoD have described its effects as similar to "friendly fire", a mistaken attack by a military force on its own personnel.
Lord Dannatt called this a "very fair description".
The Ministry of Defence said it had "a duty to protect our personnel from malaria, and, as the last Defence Committee report concluded, in some cases, Lariam will be the most effective way of doing that."
It added: "[Lariam] continues to be recommended as safe by Public Health England and the World Health Organisation."
The drug's manufacturers, Roche, said it "will continue to work with the Ministry of Defence to ensure that they have all the relevant information to ensure Lariam is prescribed appropriately".

Figures released by Wild New Forest (WNF) show a two-thirds decline in breeding pairs in the national park over the past 12 years.
In 2004, about 100 breeding pairs were identified, compared with 40 recorded by volunteers in 2016.
Runners or dogs disturbing ground nests may be affecting breeding, WNF said.
The curlew, with its long down-curved bill, is Europe's largest wading bird and it typically nests in open areas of heath and bog at ground level.
WNF said if the New Forest curlew population continued to decline at a similar rate the species could become extinct in southern England within two decades.
Nationally, curlews are already included in the most at risk red category of the latest British Birds of Conservation Concern 4 list.
The Wild New Forest report said observers had located 19 nests during 2016 and although chicks appeared to have hatched at nine nests, others were clearly abandoned or the eggs had been taken by predators.
Nigel Matthews, head of recreation management and learning at the New Forest National Park Authority, said the curlew population was a "barometer for the well-being of wildlife" in the New Forest.
"Disturbance is likely to be a cause of the decline, it's vital that we do all we can to reduce instances of birds being startled by people," he continued.
The UK is thought to have about 68,000 breeding pairs with numbers falling nationwide.
It made a pre-tax profit of £10.5m in the first half of the year compared with £18.1m during the same period a year earlier.
There had been a "sharp contraction" in the London property market in the second quarter of the year, it said.
Foxton's share price fell by 8% in early trading on Friday.
Since the result of the Brexit vote was announced, it has fallen by about 30%.
London property prices have risen sharply in recent years owing, in part, to its attraction to overseas investors. However, prices had slowed this year, partly owing to a new stamp duty surcharge facing overseas investors.
The result of the referendum, in which the UK voted to leave the EU, would affect the market in the capital, according to Foxton's chief executive Nic Budden.
"The result of the referendum to leave Europe is likely to lead to a prolonged period of further uncertainty and we do not expect London residential property sales markets to show signs of recovery before the end of the year," he said.
The slower market conditions meant the company would review the pace of new branches being opened in London.
At present it has 63 branches but has an ambition to open 100 across Greater London.
A month ago, shortly after the referendum result, Foxtons signalled that its profits would be hit in the first half of the year.
Analysts have predicted that the UK vote to leave the EU will have an impact on the London property market. Other areas may be less affected.
Earlier in the week, the UK's biggest property portal Rightmove announced that its profits were on track, and in an upbeat commentary said that "worries of a slowing UK housing market and potential closure of estate agents are overdone".
Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey said it had not been affected by the Brexit vote, declaring that "current trading remains in line with normal seasonal patterns".
On Thursday, the UK's biggest building society, the Nationwide, said that the Brexit effect on the property market and house prices could take months to become clear.
Figures from the Bank of England released on Friday showed that mortgage approvals for house purchases in June totalled 64,766, compared with an average of 69,998 over the previous six months.
He located genes that regulate the cellular "self eating" process known as autophagy.
Dr Ohsumi's work is important because it helps explain what goes wrong in a range of illnesses, from cancer to Parkinson's.
Errors in these genes cause disease.
Last year's prize was shared by three scientists who developed treatments for malaria and other tropical diseases.
The body destroying its own cells may not sound like a good thing. But autophagy is a natural defence that our bodies use to survive.
It allows the body to cope with starvation and fight off invading bacteria and viruses, for example.
And it clears away old junk to make way for new cells.
Failure of autophagy is linked with many diseases of old age, including dementia.
Research is now ongoing to develop drugs that can target autophagy in various diseases, including cancer.
The concept of autophagy has been known for over 50 years, but it wasn't until Dr Ohsumi began studying and experimenting with baker's yeast in the 80s and 90s that the breakthrough in understanding was made.
Dr Ohsumi is reported to be surprised about receiving his Nobel Prize, but "extremely honoured".
Speaking with the Japanese broadcaster NHK he said that the human body "is always repeating the auto-decomposition process, or cannibalism, and there is a fine balance between formation and decomposition. That's what life is about."
Prof David Rubinsztein, an expert in autophagy at the University of Cambridge, said he was delighted that Dr Ohsumi's vital work had been recognised and rewarded.
"His pioneering work in yeast led to the discovery of the key genes and fundamental biochemical processes that are required for autophagy.
"As autophagy is well conserved from yeast to man, his laboratory's discoveries have also provided the critical tools to many labs to enable the appreciation of the important roles of autophagy in diverse physiological and disease processes.
"These include infectious diseases, cancers, and various neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease and forms of Parkinson's disease. Indeed, autophagy manipulation may provide a key strategy for treating some of these conditions."
More than 270 scientists were nominated for the prize, which was awarded at Sweden's Karolinska Institute and comes with eight million Swedish kronor (around £728,000 or $936,000 or 834,000 euros) for the winner.
The winners of the physics, chemistry and peace prizes are to be announced later this week.
2015 - Three scientists - William C Campbell, Satoshi ÅŒmura and Youyou Tu - for anti-parasite drug discoveries.
2014 - Three scientists - John O'Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser - for discovering the brain's navigating system.
2013 - James Rothman, Randy Schekman, and Thomas Sudhof for their discovery of how cells precisely transport material.
2012 - Two pioneers of stem cell research - John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka - were awarded the Nobel after changing adult cells into stem cells.

The SV Nikolay, seized on Monday, belongs to a firm in the Bulgarian port of Burgas, Bulgaria's BTA news agency reports. It was intercepted some 80km (50 miles) off Cadiz.
The South American cocaine was heading for Galicia, in north-western Spain.
Six Colombians were also arrested in Spain in the investigation.
The ship is owned by Burgas-based shipping firm Seaborne Trade. The firm's manager Doychin Doychev, quoted by BTA, said he had lost contact with the ship a day before it was intercepted. The crew are mainly Bulgarians from Burgas and Varna, he said.
Spanish police say they have seized nearly five tonnes of cocaine in total in recent days - more than in the whole of last year.

But it has been scarred by a long and bitter civil war arising out of ethnic tensions between the majority Sinhalese and the Tamil minority in the northeast.
After more than 25 years of violence the conflict ended in May 2009, when government forces seized the last area controlled by Tamil Tiger rebels. But recriminations over abuses by both sides continue.
The island fell under Portuguese and Dutch influence after the 16th century. It gained independence in 1948, after nearly 150 years of British rule.

President: Maithripala Sirisena
Maithripala Sirisena was sworn in as Sri Lankan president after a shock victory over veteran strongman Mahinda Rajapakse in a January 2015 election dominated by charges of corruption and growing authoritarianism.
The former health minister, who united a fractured opposition to pull off an unlikely victory, promised sweeping reforms of the presidency and said he would transfer many of its executive powers to parliament.
He was elected on a tide of resentment against Mr Rajapakse, who rewrote the constitution after his re-election in 2010 to remove the two-term limit on the presidency and give himself more powers over public servants and judges.
Mr Rajapakse enjoyed huge support among majority Sinhalese voters after overseeing the end of a separatist war by ethnic Tamil rebels in 2009.
Sri Lanka's media divide along language and ethnic lines.
By the end of 2014 about a quarter of the population was online.
Some key dates in Sri Lanka's history:
Fifth century BC - Indo-Aryan migrants from northern India settle on the island; the Sinhalese emerge as the most powerful of the various clans.
Third century BC - Beginning of Tamil migration from India.
1505 - Portuguese arrive in Colombo, marking beginning of European interest.
1833 - Whole island united under one British administration.
1948 - Ceylon gains full independence.
1949 - Indian Tamil plantation workers disenfranchised, the start of a wave of Sinhalese nationalism which alienates the Tamil majority.
1972 - Ceylon changes its name to Sri Lanka.
1976 - Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) founded to fight for Tamil rights.
1983 - Start of civil war.
2009 - LTTE defeated, ending the war thought to have killed between 70,000 and 80,000 people.
The attack took place at about 05:30 (02:30 GMT) in the remote Rukban area, a few hundred metres from the camp.
A number of other vehicles involved in the attack were destroyed.
It is not yet clear who carried out the attack, but the jihadist group Islamic State (IS) has threatened in the past to "break down" Jordan's borders.
The kingdom is part of the US-led coalition against IS and has carried out air strikes on militants in Syria.
Tuesday's attack, the first of its kind since the conflict in Syria began in 2011, saw an explosives-laden vehicle blown up beside a military post.
The blast left four border guards and two personnel from the Civil Defence and Public Security Department dead, a military statement said.
"Such criminal act will only add to our unshaken determination to fight terrorism and terrorists' ideologies regardless of their motives," it added.
Earlier this month, Jordanian intelligence service officers and two other employees were killed in a Palestinian refugee camp near the capital, Amman, in what the government said was a terrorist attack.
The Rukban camp is located beside an earthen berm in the desert, about 8km (5 miles) west of the point at which the Iraq, Syria, and Jordan borders meet.
The rocky area is devoid of shade, water or vegetation and is far from any towns.
Aid workers say more than 50,000 refugees are stranded at the camp, living in deplorable conditions while awaiting entry to Jordan.
UN satellite analysts mapped more than 6,400 probable shelters in the area in late April.
The Jordanian authorities currently only allow in about 50 to 100 refugees each day, citing security concerns.
Many of the refugees are believed to have fled areas controlled by IS in eastern Homs province and neighbouring Raqqa, where forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad have made gains in the past year with the support of Russian air strikes.
Thousands of other refugees are stranded at another tented camp on the border at Hadalat, about 90km west of Rukban, where the UN mapped 1,900 shelters.
The UN acknowledged in December that Jordan had legitimate security concerns, but called on the country to allow all the refugees at the two camps to enter.
Jordan is hosting 655,000 of the 4.84 million Syrians registered as refugees with the UN.
The government says more than one million other Syrians are living there, including those who arrived before the uprising against Mr Assad began.
It expects to make an operating profit of 7.2 trillion won ($7.1bn; £4.2bn) in the April-to-June period, down from 9.5 trillion won a year ago.
Its operating profit has now fallen for three straight quarters.
Samsung is the world's biggest maker of mobile phones and the handset division accounts for the bulk of its profits.
The South Korean firm said it "witnessed a slowdown in the overall smartphone market growth and saw increased competition in the Chinese and some European markets" during the period.
Meanwhile, a stronger Korean currency also hurt Samsung's earnings during the period.
The Korean won rose more than 11% against the US dollar and nearly 7% against the euro between July 2013 and end of June this year.
A strengthening currency hurts profits of firms such as Samsung - which rely heavily on exports - when they repatriate their foreign earnings.
Samsung's growth in recent years has been powered mainly by its mobile phone division.
The success of its Galaxy range of smartphones, coupled with a growing global demand for such gadgets, saw it displace Nokia as the world's biggest mobile phone maker in 2012.
However, the pace of growth of the smartphone market has been slowing down and the competition in the sector has also increased, forcing manufacturers to cut costs of their devices in an attempt to attract consumers.
Analysts said that profit margins in the sector are likely to fall even further.
"The golden era of high-end smartphones is clearly over. Those were the handsets that helped firms such as Samsung make healthy profit margins," Ajay Sunder, a vice president specialising in the telecoms sector with consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, told the BBC.
"Now it is all about high-volume and low-margin handsets. And on that front the competition is getting fiercer with each passing day."
Various other smartphone makers including China's Xiaomi, Huawei and ZTE have been increasing their market share steadily.
Mr Sunder said that given the slowing growth and increased competition in the smartphone market, Samsung needed to look at boosting its presence in other sectors if it wanted to sustain high growth rates.
"Its over-dependence on the mobile phone division needs to go," he said.
For its part, Samsung has said it "cautiously expects a more positive outlook in the third quarter".

The call comes after the entire province of Henan banned the practice.
Authorities have been under pressure to stop the heavy pollution blanketing the capital and other parts of China.
The Chinese tradition of setting off fireworks and firecrackers to ring in the new year is considered auspicious and an essential part of celebrations.
The Spring Festival, as it is also known, starts on Saturday and is China's biggest holiday period.
The Beijing government released advisories on its official Weibo microblogging account on Thursday night and Friday afternoon pleading with residents, city officials, companies and schools to observe a "green and environmentally-protective new year".
It pointed out that fireworks and firecrackers not only caused pollution, but could also lead to fires and accidents.
"Let us enthusiastically take action by not setting off, or setting off fewer, fireworks and firecrackers, and allow Beijing to have a bluer sky, fresher air and a more beautiful and safer environment this Spring Festival," it said.
The government has approved only 511 fireworks stalls this year, compared to 719 last year, and fireworks sales have been poor, according to Chinese media outlets.
A report earlier this week by newspaper Beijing Wanbao said a recent municipal government survey of 1,000 Beijing residents found that more than 80% were not keen on setting off fireworks, with many saying they did not want to pollute the environment.
Provincial officials in central China's Henan province said earlier this month that they would ban all fireworks and firecrackers because of severe air pollution, while the city of Baoding in Hebei province said it would detain anyone setting off fireworks outside the four days of celebration.
The smog, an annual occurrence as China largely relies on coal-powered heating, has been particularly intense this winter, prompting deep concern and even rare protests.
The central government has moved to shut down or penalise heavy-polluting factories and move towards greater use of natural gas.
Bins were set on fire and a prison officer was injured after trouble broke out at HMP Stocken in Rutland on 14 June.
A total of ten men have been collectively charged with prison mutiny, Leicestershire Police said.
One, Steven Walker, 36, of HMP Nottingham, is due in court on Tuesday.
Seven of the accused nine who appeared at Leicester Magistrates' Court are serving prisoners.
They are:
Two ex-inmates - Brendan Carey, 39, of Cathwaite, Paston, Peterborough, and Jamie Hill, 35, of Westwick Drive, Lincoln - were given unconditional bail following their appearance.
All are due before Leicester Crown Court on 6 June.
At the time, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) said about 60 prisoners were involved in a "serious incident of indiscipline" at the jail.
All 120 prisoners on a wing had to be moved to other parts of the jail or other prisons.
Specially-trained prison officers were called in at about 23:00 BST before the situation was brought under control in the early hours of the following day.
News agencies reported Samsung had temporarily halted production after talks with safety regulators.
Samsung told the BBC it was "adjusting the production schedule to ensure quality and safety matters".
The company has been forced to issue new models of the smartphone following complaints of faulty batteries.
It issued a recall of the Galaxy Note 7 in September and later assured customers that the fixed devices were safe.
But there have now been several reports of replacement phones starting to emit smoke.
In a further blow, two US mobile networks have stopped replacing or selling the phone.
The AT&T and T-Mobile networks said they would no longer replace the devices in the US, while the latter said it would halt all sales of the phone.
"While Samsung investigates multiple reports of issues, T-Mobile is temporarily suspending all sales of the new Note 7 and exchanges for replacement Note 7 devices," T-Mobile said on its website.
Meanwhile, AT&T said: "We're no longer exchanging new Note 7s at this time, pending further investigation of these reported incidents." It advised customers to exchange them for other devices.
Samsung said in a statement last month that the issue of overheating was caused by a "rare" manufacturing error that resulted in the battery's "anode-to-cathode [negative and positive electrodes]" coming into contact.
But last week, a domestic flight in the US was evacuated after a replacement Note 7 started emitting smoke in the cabin. And a man in Kentucky reportedly woke up to a bedroom full of smoke from a replaced Note 7.
In an update on Monday, Samsung said it understood the concerns of carriers and consumers about the newly released replacement Note 7 devices.
"We continue to move quickly to investigate the reported case to determine the cause and will share findings as soon as possible," Samsung said.
"If we conclude a product safety issue exists, we will work with the CPSC (US Consumer Product Safety Commission) to take immediate steps to address the situation."
Shares in Samsung Electronics closed down 1.5% in Seoul.
Eric Schiffer, a brand strategy expert at Reputation Management Consultants, said the company needed to take action to limit the harm to its image.
"If the Note 7 is allowed to continue, it could lead to the single greatest act of brand self-destruction in the history of modern technology," he said.
"Samsung needs to take a giant writedown and cast the Note 7 to the engineering hall of shame next to the Ford Pinto."
In 1977, the Pinto was the subject of a then-record US recall to address safety concerns.
The MP, who has held the Lincolnshire seat of Sleaford and North Hykeham since 2010, backed leaving the EU but has accused ministers of ignoring Parliament since the Brexit vote.
He said he was "unable properly to represent the people who elected me".
It comes as Theresa May said she was confident she would win a legal battle over her approach to Brexit talks.
On Thursday, three High Court judges ruled the government cannot officially notify the EU of its intention to leave, thus beginning formal talks, without Parliament's support.
In a series of phone calls, the prime minister told European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker and Germany's Angela Merkel that the government believed it would win its Supreme Court appeal against the ruling and she was committed to triggering Article 50 by March 2017.
Although Mr Phillips represents a safe Conservative seat, his surprise departure increases the pressure on Mrs May's government - which has a working majority of 17.
It is not yet clear whether Mr Phillips, who won the seat last year with a majority of more than 24,000, will stand as an independent in a future by-election although this is thought to be unlikely.
by Ross Hawkins, BBC political correspondent
The government's values were no longer his values. On child refugees, on the use of aid money, on the handling of Brexit, he dissented from a party he thought was heading inexorably to the right.
That is the view from sources close to Stephen Phillips. One said he twice rejected a meeting with the prime minister.
Will other Tories follow? Some on the party's left tell me they'd rather stay and fight. Others reflect ruefully that unlike him they have no well-paid alternative career as a barrister.
A by-election in a safe seat won't much trouble party bosses. But while Downing Street doesn't want one, the departure of - yet another - Tory MP means the voices calling for a swift general election will grow a little louder.
The politician, who is a barrister and part-time Crown Court judge, is the second Conservative MP to stand down in as many weeks - Zac Goldsmith last week forced a by-election over his opposition to expanding Heathrow airport.
Sources say Mr Phillips informed party whips earlier this week that he would resign as an MP because he felt his values were not the values of the government.
He has been critical of the government's approach to Brexit since June's Leave vote, accusing Theresa May of trying to "ignore the views" of Parliament and avoiding scrutiny of the government's negotiating position.
In a recent newspaper article, he suggested the government was "lurching to the right" and that its attempt to start negotiations with the EU without the explicit approval of Parliament was "divisive and plain wrong".
In a statement, he did not spell out the specific reasons for his resignation but said: "It has become clear to me over the last few months that my growing and very significant policy differences with the current government mean that I am unable properly to represent the people who elected me".
However, in a letter to his constituency chairman, Mr Phillips attacked the government for "shirking" responsibility for unaccompanied child refugees and changes in the way international aid is spent.
Mr Phillips said: "Some will label me a quitter or, no doubt, worse. Those are labels with which I can live. The label Conservative no longer is."
In last year's election, Mr Phillips won a majority of 24,115, with 56% of the vote. Labour finished second, closely followed by UKIP.
Labour said the impending by-election would be "more about Tory failure and in-fighting than what is in the best interests of the country".
"It's clear that even Theresa May's own MPs realise that she has failed to lay out a convincing plan to deliver for Britain," said national campaign co-ordinator Jon Trickett.
UKIP leadership contender Suzanne Evans has said she would like to be considered to be the party's candidate in the by-election.
Asked about the resignation during a visit to Berlin, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson suggested it was part of the prevailing "sturm und drang" (storm and stress) over Brexit - a reference to the movement of 18th Century German writers who gave free expression to emotions and ideas which sought to break with tradition.
He told reporters he did not believe that the legal battle over Parliament's role would "interfere" with the UK's Brexit timetable - insisting that the High Court ruling was "one stage" in the legal process and the British people had made their views clear.
Mrs May has also been seeking to reassure EU leaders about the UK's commitment to Brexit following Thursday's legal setback.
No 10 said she had explained the government was "disappointed" by the ruling but felt it "had strong legal arguments ahead of the case moving to the Supreme Court".
The European Commission said the timetable for beginning talks was in the UK's hands.
"The president explicitly said the legal order and the constitutional order of the UK will be respected and we won't speculate on a possible delay," a spokeswoman said.
The UK voted by 52% to 48% to leave the European Union in a referendum on 23 June.
The EU's other 27 member states have said negotiations about the terms of the UK's exit - due to last two years - cannot begin until Article 50 has been invoked.
The company owns the daily News Letter and a chain of local papers.
Staff have been told that the firm wants between eight and 13 voluntary editorial redundancies with other non-editorial jobs also under threat.
The Edinburgh-based firm owns more than 200 newspapers across the UK.
In an email to staff, the group's editor-in-chief said there will be job cuts across Johnston Press following "a challenging year".
A Johnston Press worker told the BBC the announcement was "a shocking start to the year for staff".
The worker said that staff had been told just weeks ago that there were no editorial job cuts in the pipe line.
In 2014, Johnston Press reported a pre-tax loss of £24m. Underlying profits, which excluded restructuring costs, rose from £54m to £56m.
The chief executive, Ashley Highfield, received pay of £1.65m, including a £645,000 bonus.
The company said it had no comment to make on the job losses.
The 25-year-old spent the first half of this season on loan at Barnsley but has started the Latics' last two games since he was recalled from Oakwell.
Egypt international Morsy began his career at Port Vale and joined Wigan from Chesterfield in January 2016.
"If I am being honest, six months ago I didn't think I would ever play for the club again," he told the club website.
"I had a great time at Barnsley, but as soon as I came back earlier this month, the manager here outlined straight away what he wants, his vision for the club and that's something I want to be a part of."

The event in Norway's capital follows attacks against Jews in Europe, including in Paris in January and in Denmark last week.
There was a large crowd of onlookers, from a number of religions.
"We want to demonstrate that Jews and Muslims do not hate each other," co-organiser Zeeshan Abdullah told crowds in front of the synagogue on Saturday.
"We do not want individuals to define what Islam is for the rest of us. There are many more peace-mongers than warmongers."
Norway's Chief Rabbi Michael Melchior sang the traditional Jewish end of Sabbath song outside the synagogue.
It was the first time co-organiser Hassan Raja had heard the song, he said.
Ervin Kohn, head of Oslo's Jewish community, described the event as "unique".
Hajrah Arshad, another of the eight organisers of the event, said it showed "that Islam is about love and unity".
In Paris, three Muslim gunmen killed 17 people at a kosher grocery, the offices of weekly Charlie Hebdo and elsewhere in early January.
A Jewish security guard at a synagogue and a Danish filmmaker attending a free speech were killed in Copenhagen last week.

The pontiff is from Argentina. He received the sign from Gustavo Hoyo, leader of a campaign for dialogue on the islands, during a papal audience.
A senior Vatican official told the BBC that Pope Francis "did not know and did not realise what was written on it".
In 1982 UK forces defeated Argentine troops, who had invaded the Falklands.
The war left Argentina and the UK still disputing the islands' sovereignty - but a UN resolution has called for dialogue to reach a settlement.
The sign held by the Pope on Wednesday said: "It's time for dialogue between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands.''
Vatican official Ciro Benedittini said that "during the general audience many people hand the Pope different items". He said the Pope was unaware of the message on the sign, "so there is no endorsement of what was written".
However, Mr Hoyo told Argentina's Clarin newspaper that "when he (the Pope) passed by, I explained what this was about and he kindly took the placard and got the picture taken.
"He could have chosen not to do it, but he did."
The best time to try to hand something to the Pope is on Wednesday morning, during his General Audience.
In the four minutes it took Pope Francis to walk through the crowd at his most recent audience, he was offered the following: seven babies (all safely returned), five flags, three shirts, one painting, one boy scout neckerchief, one magazine, and one stuffed toy (a rabbit).
The Argentine campaigners didn't have to fight their way through this crowd. They met the Pope during a quieter moment in the Audience.
The Vatican now finds itself in an awkward position. It allowed the campaigners to meet the Pope - with a possible idea of what they might want. But it also insists that the Pope didn't know what was written on the placard, and is not endorsing the campaigners' cause.
Kissing babies is more straightforward.
Until March 2013, Pope Francis was Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires.
As cardinal he spoke emotionally about the Argentine soldiers who had died in the war, who "went out to defend their mothers, their homeland, and reclaim what is theirs - the homeland - and which was taken from them".
In February 2013 Argentina turned down a UK Foreign Office invitation to meet members of the Falkland Islands government.
Soon afterwards, Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner asked him to intervene as Pope and promote a dialogue with the UK on the islands.
An overwhelming majority of Falkland residents voted in March 2013 to remain a British territory. About 2,900 people live on the islands.
Pravit Rojanaphruk tweeted that he was resigning from the Nation newspaper to save it "from further pressure".
He was detained on Sunday and forced to attend an "attitude adjustment" session for violating rules on information.
Meanwhile the junta has said elections were unlikely before 2017. It had initially promised a vote this year.
However that timetable has slipped repeatedly as the leadership struggled to redesign a political system that would weaken the role of parties and elected governments, says the BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok.
Pravit was arrested hours after tweeting: "Freedom can't be maintained if we're not willing to defend it." He had been detained once before, shortly after the coup.
Upon his release on Tuesday, he tweeted: "My ideology is intact."
But on Wednesday he said that he had taken the decision to resign from the English language newspaper after talks with management.
In an interview with the BBC, he said his belief in democracy remained unchanged. The media had a responsibility to ensure that Thais do not think of military rule as a "normal situation", he added.
Since the May 2014 coup, numerous politicians, journalists and citizens have been required to attend "attitude adjustment" sessions.
These sessions are essentially brief periods of incarceration by the military and can last up to a week.
Last week, the military detained two former MPs who had been critical of the junta, including a former energy minister.
In addition to the adjustment sessions the military have also increased prosecutions under the country's lese majeste legislation, which prohibits any criticism of the monarchy.
It is the second Chinese firm after the HNA Group to invest in the Australian carrier, which hopes to benefit from growing numbers of China tourists.
More than one million mainlanders visited Australia last year and that is forecast to grow to 1.5m by 2020.
Shares of Virgin Australia, which plans to launch direct flights to China next year, rose by 5.4% on Friday.
Shares of Air New Zealand rose by more than 3% in Wellington trading following the news.
Nanshan will pay 33 Australian cents a share for the slice of the company, valuing it at about 230m Australian dollars (£118m; $170m).
Aside from Nanshan and HNA, Singapore Airlines and Etihad Airways are also major shareholders in Virgin Australia.
Last month, HNA bought 13% of Virgin Australia for $118m but plans to raise that stake to about 20% in the future.
"We believe Nanshan Group will be a very strong, positive and complimentary shareholder for Virgin Australia," Air New Zealand Chairman Tony Carter said in a statement.
"The sale will allow Air New Zealand to focus on its own growth opportunities, while still continuing its long-standing alliance with Virgin Australia on the trans-Tasman network".
The world-famous scientist, whose life story was recently turned into an Oscar-winning film, will appear at the festival's Kidz Field.
A message on the festival's website said he would make "a special guest appearance" in the field which is aimed at children aged 12 and under.
Magician Dynamo was also announced for the festival, which is held in June.
Veteran rockers The Who were named last week as the headline act for the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night.
Other big acts confirmed for the sold-out festival include Foo Fighters, Kanye West and Florence And The Machine.
Professor Hawking, who was played by Eddie Redmayne in The Theory Of Everything, is no stranger to the spotlight, having appeared in a Star Trek episode, voiced a cartoon version of himself in The Simpsons and been sampled by Pink Floyd. He also appeared in a Comic Relief sketch with David Walliams and Catherine Tate.
He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a form of motor neurone disease, in 1964 at the age of 22 and given just a few years to live.
However he went on to develop theories that reshaped the way the world thinks about black holes, stars and the universe.
Now aged 73 and despite his illness leaving him almost completely paralysed, he is celebrated as one of the most brilliant scientists of the modern age.
And Department for Education statistics show pupils from poorer backgrounds are more likely to be lagging in their learning, literacy and numeracy levels.
The charity Save The Children called the figures "shocking".
But the government said the figures showed "a continued rise in numbers meeting the expected standards".
The Department for Education also pointed out that the gap between disadvantaged children and their peers was decreasing.
The DfE figures, published on Thursday, show 31% of under-fives were not achieving good levels of development in fields such as communication and language, maths and social skills - around 200,000 early-years children.
The figures show only 52% of children eligible for free school meals reached the expected standard, compared with 70% of all other pupils and 67% of pupils overall.
And boys lag behind girls, with 62% of boys achieving good levels compared with 77% of girls.
Detail of the figures suggests the gap between the lowest 20% of children and the average for all children has narrowed by more than five percentage points in the past four years.
But Save The Children said too many children were being denied "a fair start in life", urging the government to do more to address a severe shortfall in trained nursery teachers.
Only 654 people started training to teach early-years children this year - too few to address a shortage of 11,000 teachers for that age group, said chief executive Kevin Watkins.
"It's shocking that in this day and age so many children in England, particularly the poorest, are at greater risk of falling behind by the time they reach school because of our chronic shortage of nursery teachers, a shortage that shows little signs of improving.
"Every year, hundreds of thousands of children without access to these teachers are starting reception struggling to speak full sentences, follow basic instructions and learn subjects like maths and sciences."
Mr Watkins warned that children who are behind when starting school are "likely to stay behind throughout their lives, with huge implications for the rest of their schooling, their jobs and even their future relationships.
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron accused the government of "sneaking" out the statistics.
"The government have their priorities on education all wrong and are failing the least well off," said Mr Farron.
"While they pour £240m into divisive grammar schools for a select few they are leaving hundreds of thousands of children behind."
The DfE spokesman said: "We are clear that high quality early education is vital in giving all children the best chance to fulfil their potential...
"We are determined to go further to improve quality, which is why we are doing more than ever to help attract and retain the best staff and are investing a record £6bn per year in childcare by 2020."
Akgul, 25, beat his 28-year-old opponent 3-1 to add to his world titles from 2014 and 2015.
Turkish wrestlers had already won two silver medals and two bronzes at Rio 2016.
Akgul, a 2015 European Games champion, was ninth in the -120kg event at London 2012.

Jake Jervis had earlier opened Plymouth's account for the season with a clinical strike before veteran striker Jon Stead hauled County level.
But Bulvitis, signed in the summer from Spartaks Jurmala, rose highest to meet Connor Smith's 32nd-minute corner and bag the Pilgrims all three points.
Sonny Bradley came to Plymouth's rescue after 10 minutes when he cleared a Stead shot off the line before Matt Tootle's follow-up was blocked by Oscar Threlkeld.
It was Argyle, through, who opened the scoring five minutes later when Gary Miller intercepted a wayward pass and found Jervis, who drilled a low shot into the bottom corner.
Notts were behind for just three minutes as Stead broke free down the right, cut into the box, beat two players and fired an effort past Luke McCormick.
Home debutant Louis Laing had a shot blocked and headed over, either side of Bradley slicing a clearance against his own woodwork.
Sloppy defending from Notts, though, handed Argyle the initiative once more as Latvian international Bulvitus nodded in Smith's corner.
Jonathan Forte flicked a header just wide early in the second half and Tootle nodded Alex Rodman's cross off target, while in a rare Plymouth attack, Graham Carey's shot was kept out by Adam Collin.
McCormick brilliantly kept out Thierry Audel's shot in injury time as Plymouth hung on to the points.

The pod of long-finned pilot whales were stranded on a beach between Anstruther and Pittenweem on 2 September 2012.
Out of the 31 mammals which beached, only 10 could be refloated and 21 - 16 females and five males - died.
The tests were led by the University of Aberdeen and the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme.
Scientists found mercury at levels high enough to cause severe neurological damage in humans and demonstrated for the first time that the toxic element cadmium can cross the blood-brain barrier.
The scientists said there was no indication that the mercury and cadmium levels in the brain caused disorientation, which in some cases can lead to strandings, but there was a potential for higher stress in the whales.
Their report, published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, showed a "clear" correlation between the increased levels and the age of the mammals, suggesting toxic stress increases the longer the mammals live.
They said this could demonstrate that this species of marine mammal was less susceptible to mercury poisoning than humans, but they could not entirely discount the possibility that it was a factor leading to whales navigating off course.
Dr Eva Krupp, an environmental analytical chemist from the University of Aberdeen, collected and analysed samples from the whales with PhD students Cornelius Brombach and Zuzana Gajdosechova.
She said: "We were able to gather an unprecedented number of tissue samples from all the major organs, including the brain, and as a result we can see for the first time the long-term effects of mammalian exposure to the environmental pollutants.
"This pod of whales provides unique new insights because we were able to look at the effects on a large number of whales from the same pod and how this varied according to age."
Analysis of samples revealed that the level of mercury in the whales increased in correlation to the age of the mammals, which ranged from under a year to 36 years.
The scientists found very high concentrations of mercury in the brain of all the whales older than nine years and in three the concentration was higher than levels at which severe neurological damage would occur in humans.
Dr Krupp added: "Although the body has a natural defence mechanism in the form of the element selenium, which detoxifies these harmful chemicals, we found that the majority of selenium is not available for the synthesis of essential proteins in older animals.
"This indicates that the longer mammals live, the less able they may be to cope with the toxic effects."
The Electoral Reform Society found 66.4% of votes did not go towards electing an MP under Westminster's first-past-the-post (FPTP) system.
It said there had been a "sea of wasted votes and a surge in tactical voting".
It added it was time for a proportional system for Westminster elections, similar to the one used at Holyrood.
Under the FPTP system, Labour won 27% of the votes cast in Scotland but got just 12% of the seats, while the SNP won 37% of the votes cast but returned almost 60% of the seats, according to the ERS research.
In its report, the society argued Scotland was "shifting back to multi-party politics".
It pointed out that 21 of the 59 Scottish seats changed party in this year's general election - more in relative terms than any other region or nation in the UK.
But it warned Scotland was at risk of witnessing a "lottery election", with slim victories meaning many seats hinged on just a handful of votes.
It called for Westminster to adopt a more proportional voting system, such as Scotland's Single Transferable Vote (STV) used in local elections.
Electoral Reform Society Scotland director Willie Sullivan, said: "Electors should be able to vote for parties they agree with on the broad sweep of policy, instead of feeling the need to vote tactically based on one significant issue such as independence or Brexit because they fear 'winner takes all' dominance.
"A proportional system would allow for this, create a much broader discussion of politics ensure all votes are of equal value with citizens feeling empowered to take part."
Mr Sullivan also argued there were relatively few "stable waymarks" in the current political landscape.
He said: "Shock changes can take place very quickly and are exaggerated by the electoral system.
"Victories are precarious, and the possibility of another election in the medium term could mean all-change again soon.
"Large swings, often local in effect, show that no party can expect very long in the sun.
"Banff and Buchan where a majority of over 14,000 for the SNP turned into a majority for the Conservative party of 3,600 highlights this."
He added: "Scotland returned four of the UK's top 10 smallest majorities. Those MPs' bottoms rest on very wobbly seats."
"We deeply regret the loss of life of a participant," they said in a statement on Facebook.
No further details have been released about the individual but the Great Run Company said its priority was to ensure next of kin had been informed.
About 57,000 people took part in the event which is run over 13.1 miles and is in its 35th year.
The event began in Newcastle with the finish line 13.1 miles away in South Shields.
Mo Farah won the men's elite race - his second consecutive win in the half-marathon.
Kenyan Mary Keitany won the women's race and David Weir achieved a record-equalling sixth win in the elite wheelchair competition.
In its full statement on the death of the runner, organisers said: "We deeply regret the loss of life of a participant at the Great North Run today and offer our deepest sympathy and condolences to the family and friends of the individual concerned.
"In such circumstances there is a strictly planned procedure we adhere to. Our priority is to ensure that the next of kin are informed and therefore we will not be in a position to make any further comment today."

Rodgers, who hopes to sign "one or two" players, expects Aberdeen and Hearts, second and third last time, to improve.
"I think Aberdeen are going to be stronger again. They have signed some good players, as have Hearts," he said.
"The other teams will always fight to make it very difficult. There is no way it is only going to be two teams."
Having begun pre-season training this week, Rodgers says he is "taking his time" to "assess and analyse" the squad at his disposal before starting their Champions League qualifying campaign in three weeks.
The Hoops will travel to face either Flora Tallin of Estonia or Gibraltar side Lincoln Red Imps on 12/13 July, with the return leg at Parkhead the following week.
If successful, a further two-leg qualifying round awaits - either side of high-profile friendlies against Leicester and Barcelona - before the start of their title defence against Hearts on the weekend of 6/7 August.
"You have to remember these players are the current champions so they have earned the right for me to at least have a look at them," Rodgers told BBC Scotland.
"But I certainly think that having assessed the team over a number of games, there are one or two areas where there are maybe one or two we can bring in that can help.
"There is a lot of great work going on behind the scenes and the club has been terrific in terms of supporting what I want to add.
"In 12 weeks the Champions League group stages start and the most important thing for us is to be in it. That will be with the current players and hopefully one or two that can help them get there."
Rodgers renewed acquaintances on Tuesday with Rangers boss Mark Warburton, who worked in the youth set-up at Watford when Rodgers was manager from 2008-2009.
"We spoke a few weeks back and Mark is a good guy," he added.
"Whatever rivalry there is between clubs, it doesn't spread outside of the field in terms of our relationship.
"He did excellent work for me when I was at Watford and he has done very well in his own right as a manager, both at Brentford and up here at Rangers.
"It is going to be a competitive league this year. You want the best teams in it, and Rangers won their league last year and are in it.
"We are looking forward to the challenge of retaining the title. We will just concentrate on our own job and if we do that, we know we are in with a great chance of making it six in a row."
Ron Walker had previously warned fellow climbers and hillwalkers of the risk posed by loose stone in Coire an t-Sneachda, and had gone into the area with a friend to climb and clear slabs from Fingers Ridge and above the Goat Track path.
The following is from an article he has written about his rescue which Mountaineering Scotland has posted to Facebook as part of warning about the heightened risk of rockfalls.
"I was quite pleased with the amount of dangerous rubble we managed to clear from the first two pitches.
"However, at the top of the slabby corner of pitch three, just past the optional loose block belay on the left and after about a metre or two on the loose arete, a large area of slab just slid off with me on it.
"I fell backwards with the slabby guillotine-like blocks following me in flight until the one wire runner placed at the start of the arete came tight.
"I'd really thought I'd had it as the large flakes would have taken my head and arms off. By some miracle the fall held after about five metres and left me hanging upside down on the damaged rope.
"Amazingly, I'd only got hit by one block as it bounced by hitting and crushing my right arm.
"As the blocks whizzed by my head and body they cut the main anchor sling at the foot of the pitch. This was between Andrew and the spike belay and the one other thread runner and Andrew's trousers were cut too.
"This meant that one of the blocks must have just missed him by a millimetre or so as it sliced through the runner and the belay sling.
"Fortunately the rope wasn't cut through but nicked and my lucky offset number three wire had held. If it hadn't held, all the other slings had been cut by the falling flakes and I wouldn't be typing this and likely a double fatality.
"Spotting the severed sling Andrew managed to place another sling before I was lowered in agony onto the belay ledge.
"Once we were all secured again, Andrew phoned the rescue services and we prepared for the wait by wearing our extra warm layers, bivvi and group shelters.
"It was just after 10.00hrs and very wet and windy.
"A big thanks to Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team and in particular John Lyall and Dr Duncan Scott for risking their necks in a particularly tricky and dangerously loose rescue and to Andrew, my second climber for remaining calm and supportive, in miserable weather three pitches up, for the six or more hours following the accident before being lowered off.
"And a big thanks obviously goes to the search and rescue helicopter crew, paramedics, doctors and Raigmore Hospital nursing staff."
Following medical assessments, Mr Walker's arm was found not to have been broken but crushed. He is expected to make a full recovery.

China wants leadership candidates to be vetted by a pro-Beijing committee before they can stand for election.
But many in Hong Kong say this is not real democracy.
BBC News explains the controversy, in 80 seconds.
Video journalist: Mohamed Madi
December marks 100 years since Lloyd George became the prime minister - the only Welshman to hold the position.
He was hailed as "the man who won the war", but he was leading a double life.
Mr Snow retraces his political career to Westminster and his life as a "notorious womaniser."
Having spent his childhood holidays in Criccieth, Gwynedd, Mr Snow returned to north Wales to make the documentary.
During the programme, he visited the Parliamentary archives to read excerpts from the diary of Lloyd George's secretary Frances Stevenson, as well as letters he wrote to her.
Lloyd George, the MP for Carnarvon Boroughs, continued an affair with Miss Stevenson until they married after the death of his wife Margaret.
"He was also a notorious womaniser whose long-running relationship with his young secretary meant that he almost had two wives," said Mr Snow.
"I'm descended from one of Lloyd George's daughters, so this other side of his life has always been a bit of a family secret, something we never talked about.
"On one level, as a family member, it's pretty distressing.
"Reading about your great-great-grandfather's love affairs and his aborted love child.
"But on another level you do find yourself attracted to him - as a lover, as a human - and you almost feel yourself wishing him all the best in that relationship, because he clearly loved her very much."
Lloyd George was a great public speaker who connected with ordinary people and despite initially being anti-war, he succeeded in galvanising a nation into a "dynamic war machine".
He headed a small, decisive war cabinet, brought leading industrialists into government and made the armaments industry more efficient.
Mr Snow said: "I think the most remarkable aspect of the Lloyd George story is that this was a guy without money, without connections, without an Army background and without being educated in Oxford or Cambridge, who rose up to become one of the most powerful men in the world.
"That single fact, to me, is one of the most remarkable aspects of 20th Century history."
The 31-year-old Asian man was attacked by two men as he used the cash point at the BP garage on Herringthorpe Valley Road in Rotherham, police said.
He was also punched several times in the face during the attack, which happened at 06:00 GMT on Saturday.
The victim is hospital in a stable condition.
South Yorkshire Police said the first man was white and of tall, slim build. The victim could not provide a description of the second man.
Det Insp Richard Partridge said detectives were treating the incident as a "racially aggravated" assault.
The first man is reported to have punched the victim several times in the face before the second man used what has been described as a meat cleaver to slice off the top of his left hand forefinger.
The two men then left the scene in a dark coloured vehicle.
Mr Partridge said the victim did not know his attackers and the incident appeared to be unprovoked.
"A full investigation is underway and as well as reviewing CCTV, we have a team of detectives in the area and officers are supporting the victim," he said. | Curlew numbers in one of the birds' strongholds in southern England have experienced a "shocking decline", conservationists have said.

City travel to Old Trafford on Sunday, having won the last five meetings between the rivals.

Defender Kompany, 29, told Football Focus he believes Louis Van Gaal's side will be desperate to end that run.
"For a long time I felt we wanted it more, but I think they've been hurt pretty badly and they'll want it just as much now," the Belgian said.
"They have their games against Liverpool, which are very important to them. For us, this is the most important game.
"In previous years I think we wanted it more but things change."
Fourth-placed City, who are one point behind United in third, have won twice in their last seven matches and have only a slim hope of retaining their Premier League title.
United last won the Premier League under Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 but finished seventh last season with David Moyes in charge for most of the campaign.
The Red Devils spent £150m in the summer and Moyes' successor Louis Van Gaal has re-established the team in the top four.
"I thought we were the big spenders in Manchester but that's changed over the years," Kompany said.

"They have good players, a good manager and a club with history. It was never going to be too long before they got back in there.
"The league's got a lot tougher since they won it last. It's only going to get more tough. I don't think there'll be any team dominating any more. It'll be difficult."
The average age of City's starting line-up for the most recent defeat against Crystal Palace was 29 years and six months but Kompany rejected the suggestion that fatigue had contributed to the team's poor recent form.
"The world champions in 2006 [Italy] were the oldest team in the tournament," Kompany said.
"There always needs to be a story to explain something and in this case it's the obvious thing to point out. Next year, we'll be doing well and people will be saying it's because we have a lot of experience. It's completely irrelevant."
City manager Pellegrini admitted: "It has not been a good season. It was not so bad until the end of 2014, when we were top of the table and also had the FA Cup and Champions League.
"But in the last three months we have thrown it into the garbage."
As the country prepares for parliamentary and presidential elections, though, there are signs that the Kremlin is facing a fresh media challenge in the form of an increasingly politicised audience on YouTube.
Over the past few weeks, a number of Russian politics-themed clips on YouTube have achieved over one million views.
The videos are in a variety of genres - political polemic, satire and song - but they have one thing in common: a critical or irreverent attitude to the country's leadership - Mr Putin, President Dmitry Medvedev and their party, United Russia.
Earlier this year, anti-corruption campaigner and blogger Aleksey Navalnyy launched a web campaign against United Russia under the banner "Party of Crooks and Thieves".
One of the latest instalments in this campaign is a clip on his YouTube channel entitled:"Let's remind the crooks and thieves of their 2002 manifesto". The video lists what it says are United Russia's failures and broken pledges, and concludes: "They have not just lied, they have brought the country to such a state that these and other promises seem to be mockeries". It also urges viewers to vote for any party but United Russia in December's parliamentary election.
The video was posted on YouTube on 7 October. By 28 October, it been viewed more than a million times.
Satire
YouTube is not only giving a powerful voice to the opposition, it is also helping to revive subversive art forms.
TV political satire has been virtually extinct in Russia since the puppet show Kukly (along the lines of the now-defunct UK satirical programme Spitting Image) disappeared from the screens shortly after Mr Putin came to power.
Now, though, this kind of satire is making a comeback on the internet. Not all the satire is anti-government, but it is generally irreverent towards authority.
One of its brightest exponents on YouTube is Dmitry Ivanov, who uses the online nicknameKamikadze_d.
Ivanov's fast-talking stand-up routines on the Russian political scene have been growing in popularity for several months now.
The first of them to break the one-million-view mark was a lampoon of a TV debate between leading politicians that was posted on 9 September.
Ivanov quickly repeated the feat with a routine called "Putin's terrible secret", in which he suggests that hidden clones of the prime minister are taking over Russia.
For those who like their satire a bit darker, there is Mr Freeman, a spooky black-and-white cartoon character whose nightmarish visions of the modern world have won him a cult following among Russian internet users.
On 11 October Mr Freeman abandoned satire and posted an"open letter"to President Medvedev, urging him to stop Mr Putin from becoming president again. By the end of the month it, too, had got over a million views.
The clip says Mr Putin's first stint as president "plunged Russia into a medieval gloom" and that the only way to prevent a repeat of this is for Mr Medvedev to sack him from the post of prime minister.
Protest music
YouTube has also helped revive Russian protest music, which, like satire, has been virtually banned from popular mainstream media outlets.
In 2010, hip-hop artist Ivan Alekseyev, aka Noize MC, got over a million views witha songabout his imprisonment for singing anti-police lyrics at a concert in Volgograd.
Another protest song that has gone viral is "Our madhouse is voting for Putin" by the Yekaterinburg-based band Rabfak, which has already reached an aggregate audience of over one million since being posted on YouTube on 11 October.
The song describes how Russia is awash with corruption and abuses, but says that people will still support Mr Putin. And it warns that those who question this will be given "an injection in the backside".
The jaunty refrain runs:
"Our madhouse is voting for Putin; Putin is just the candidate for us"
Politicisation
According to thelatest researchby polling organisation the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM), some 60 million Russians now have access to the internet out of a total population of just over 140 million.
Until recently, though, political content on the internet has not tended to attract a mass audience.
In 2010, there were some signs that this was changing - most notably, the growing popularity of protest songs.
The appearance of a spate of overtly political videos with one-million-plus audiences in just a few weeks is unprecedented. The Russian website Gazeta.rulists its 10 favourites. Only six Russian clips got over one million views in the whole of 2010. And it is a further sign that the internet audience in Russia is becoming increasingly politicised.
Moreover, the prevailing political mood is distinctly anti-government.
Since Mr Medvedev became president in 2008, the authorities have made great efforts to influence the internet community. The president himself launched avideoblogand then aTwitter account, which currently has over 625,000 followers.
But on Twitter, as on YouTube, the political traffic appears to be mainly one-way. In October, a pro-government activist tried to celebrate Mr Putin's birthday with the hashtag "SpasiboPutinuZaEto" (ThanksPutinForThat). But his plan backfired, as the hashtag became a magnet for jokes at the prime minister's expense.
Changing perceptions
Anti-government or satirical clips on YouTube are unlikely to have a decisive effect on the outcome of the forthcoming elections.
But they may already be changing perceptions.
Recent research by academics from Moscow State University found that Mr Putin is regarded in a much more negative light today than before the previous presidential elections he fought in 2000 and 2004.
The researchers found that just 17.1% of respondents had a positive view of his professional capacities as against 69% in 2000 and 64 per cent in 2004. According to the website Gazeta.ru, among the negative sides of Mr Putin's rule listed by respondents were"unfulfilled promises", "failure to solve corruption problems", "excessive populism" and "excessive authoritarianism".
Watching political content on YouTube is likely to reinforce these perceptions.

Prof Michael Marmot was shown secret filming of night shifts involving up to 11 miles of walking - where an undercover worker was expected to collect orders every 33 seconds.
It comes as the company employs 15,000 extra staff to cater for Christmas.
Amazon said in a statement worker safety was its "number one priority".
Undercover reporter Adam Littler, 23, got an agency job at Amazon's Swansea warehouse. He took a hidden camera inside for BBC Panorama to record what happened on his shifts.
He was employed as a "picker", collecting orders from 800,000 sq ft of storage.
A handset told him what to collect and put on his trolley. It allotted him a set number of seconds to find each product and counted down. If he made a mistake the scanner beeped.
"We are machines, we are robots, we plug our scanner in, we're holding it, but we might as well be plugging it into ourselves", he said.
"We don't think for ourselves, maybe they don't trust us to think for ourselves as human beings, I don't know."
Prof Marmot, one of Britain's leading experts on stress at work, said the working conditions at the warehouse are "all the bad stuff at once".
He said: "The characteristics of this type of job, the evidence shows increased risk of mental illness and physical illness."
"There are always going to be menial jobs, but we can make them better or worse. And it seems to me the demands of efficiency at the cost of individual's health and wellbeing - it's got to be balanced."
Amazon said official safety inspections had not raised any concerns and that an independent expert appointed by the company advised that the picking job is "similar to jobs in many other industries and does not increase the risk of mental and physical illness".
The scanner tracked Mr Littler's picking rate and sent his performance to managers. If it was too low, he was told he could face disciplinary action.
When Mr Littler worked night shifts his pay rose from the daily rate of £6.50 per hour to £8.25 per hour.
After experiencing a ten-and-a-half-hour night shift, he said: "I managed to walk or hobble nearly 11 miles, just short of 11 miles last night. I'm absolutely shattered. My feet are the thing that are bothering me the most to be honest."
Amazon said new recruits are warned some positions are physically demanding and that some workers seek these positions as they enjoy the active nature of the work. The company said productivity targets are set objectively, based on previous performance levels achieved by the workforce.
Those on the night shift work a four-day week with an hour's break per shift.
Experts have told Panorama these ten-and-a-half-hour night shifts could breach the working time regulations because of the long hours and the strenuous nature of the work.
Barrister Giles Bedloe said: "If the work involves heavy physical and, or, mental strain then that night worker should not work more than eight hours in any 24-hour period.
But Amazon said its night shift is lawful. They said they sought expert advice to ensure the shifts "comply with all relevant legal requirements".
Amazon said it had invested £1bn in the UK and created 5,000 permanent jobs.
It added that it relied on the good judgement of thousands of employees. The company said: "Together we're working hard to make sure we're better tomorrow than we are today."

The girls, aged 13 and 14 at the time, battered Angela Wrightson, 39, to death in Hartlepool in December 2014.
Det Ch Supt Peter McPhillips said they were "laughing and joking", so there was no reason for officers to check for signs of blood.
The pair were convicted on Tuesday.
When the girls, now aged 15, called police for a lift home, having earlier been reported missing, officers did not know Ms Wrightson had been murdered, Det Ch Supt McPhillips, of Cleveland Police, said.
The chaotic life and brutal death of Angela Wrightson
He said they were known to police and were regarded as vulnerable.
"It was four o'clock on a December morning, so it was dark," he said.
"The officer picked them up, their demeanour was fine, they were laughing and joking.
"There would be no particular reason for him to check their clothing to see whether it was blood-stained hence, of course, he wouldn't notice the blood."
He said it was "easy with hindsight" to think officers should have noticed one girl had a cut eye and both had blood on them.
"But in the circumstances I think we thought - two vulnerable girls, we're picking them up and we're taking them home."
The girls went missing regularly and may have been known to the officer who picked them up, but Det Ch Supt McPhillips said he felt "certain that he would have checked their welfare".
He also said the force "did do quite a lot to try and help" Miss Wrightson, who was "well known to a range of services including mental health, social care and, obviously, the police".
A police community support officer had been allocated to work with her and visit her regularly.
Hartlepool Borough Council chief executive Gill Alexander said: "Incidents like this are extremely rare but we need to do everything possible to try to better understand what motivated the two children to behave as they did."
It seemed almost certain Senzo Meyiwa was heading for sporting greatness, but on Sunday he was killed.
The footballer was reportedly shot by armed burglars who had broken into his girlfriend's home.
South Africa's minister of sport says the country has been "robbed of an icon and a legend in the making".
Former England striker Gary Lineker has expressed his shock on Twitter, calling it "sad news".
Meyiwa's death also brings South Africa's gun laws back into the spotlight.
It is just days since Oscar Pistorius was jailed for shooting dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp after apparently mistaking her for an intruder.
Meyiwa was named South Africa's captain just a month ago.
On Saturday his team, the Orlando Pirates, beat Ajax Cape Town 4-1 in the semi-finals of the South African League Cup.
That became the last game he would play. Not long after he tweeted this:
Off the pitch, Meyiwa was married to his estranged wife Mandisa Mkhize and had a young daughter with his girlfriend, South African singer Kelly Khumalo.
Hours before Meyiwa's death, Khumalo, 29, shared a photo of them in the car with her sister in the backseat.
On Sunday evening Meyiwa was staying at his girlfriend's house in Vosloorus, near Johannesburg.
At around 8pm two gunmen reportedly broke into the building, while a third waited outside.
South Africa's police service said the two men demanded mobile phones, money and other valuables.
Meyiwa was shot in the chest and taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. The suspects fled.
As angry crowds gathered at Meyiwa's house and the hospital, police called for calm promising they would do all they could to "bring Meyiwa's killers to book".
They have offered a reward of around $14,000 for information which leads to arrests.
As South Africa woke up to the news that Meyiwa had been killed, President Jacob Zuma said he was mourning the loss of a young footballer who had been "taken away at the prime of his career".
In a statement he said: "Words cannot express the nation's shock at this loss."
Many of Meyiwa's friends, fans and fellow footballers have paid tribute on Twitter.
#SenzoMeyiwa trended top on Twitter around the world, including in the United Kingdom.
Meyiwa's agent described the 27-year-old as a humble man from a tough background who became a "hero in everyone's eyes".
This weekend's derby between Meyiwa's club Orlando Pirates and their rivals Kaizer Chiefs has been postponed.
Players from Kaizer Chiefs gathered at the hospital on Sunday night after hearing about the shooting.
Orlando Pirates Chairman Dr Irvin Khoza said the fact Meyiwa's rivals turned up demonstrated "the magnitude of what happened".
Meyiwa's death comes a week after Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius was jailed for five years for culpable homicide after shooting dead his girlfriend in 2013.
Pistorius has always claimed he shot Reeva Steenkamp by mistake because he thought there was a burglar in his apartment.
Reserve goalkeeper Darren Keet said he'd had enough of "moving on" from case to case and wants proper change in South Africa.

The seven-mile link road between Newhouse and Baillieston was completed in April and opened to traffic then.
It means the entire stretch between Edinburgh and Glasgow is now motorway.
It was part of a £500m M8, M73 and M74 improvements project aimed at tackling congestion problems in central Scotland and cutting journey times by up to 20 minutes.
New analysis by Transport Scotland indicated vehicles were now travelling along the M8 at an average speed of almost 70mph, even during the busiest periods.
Speaking at the Maxim Business Park at Eurocentral, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the improvements and additional road capacity would ensure the economy had room to grow.
She said: "The M8 is a vital link in the central belt and this newly completed section will help connect people to business, leisure and education opportunities and also creates a better environment for companies to do business.
"Businesses are already reporting a journey time saving of up to 20 minutes travel between Scotland's biggest cities and a similar saving for those using Raith junction.
"With the completion of this project, and three others others - the Queensferry crossing, the first section of the A9 dualling and the Aberdeen bypass - by next spring, more than 250km of new roads will have been completed in the last 10 years - representing a total investment in construction of £2.81bn."
Economy Secretary Keith Brown told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme that the new M8 motorway section and a "hugely innovative engineering solution" at the Raith Interchange would benefit Scotland's economy and road users.
He said it could contribute more than £1bn to Scotland's economy through quicker movement of people and goods, and improved road safety could see a reduction of more than 100 accidents each year.
During construction, the project provided training and employment to more than 8,000 workers.
It is expected to provide long-term employment opportunities for about 60 full-time staff.
Stuart Patrick, chief executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, said the project that would have "huge, lasting impact for travel across the country and beyond".
Apiarist Murray McGregor, the owner of Denrosa Apiaries in Blairgowrie, is the first person in the UK to be convicted of the charges.
The 61-year-old previously admitted administering "unauthorised veterinary medicinal products".
McGregor has produced honey for both the Balmoral Estate and Prince Charles' Duchy Estate.
Perth Sheriff Court was told that McGregor's colonies of bees had become infected with European Foulbrood
McGregor was told he would be given officially approved antibiotics to treat the disease.
But the court was told that he did not wait for the authorities and instead bought unlicensed Terramycin from the United States over the internet.
He admitted committing the breach between July 2009 and October 2010.
During the period, McGregor admitted importing the unauthorised medicinal product, Terramycin 100MR.
He also admitted giving Terramycin 100MR to an animal, namely the honey bee, in contravention of the relevant regulations.
He admitted a third charge of possessing the substance without authorisation.
The court was told that McGregor had kept bees since 1973 and took over the business in 1981.
Solicitor Kevin Lancaster, defending, said: "He admitted he was solely responsible for importing the Terramycin.
"He instructed administering the Terramycin to the bees.
"He accepts he did not get a veterinary prescription. He accepts he did not keep records."
Mr Lancaster said the company was the largest bee firm in Scotland.
He said: "It is a family company with 3,000 hives of bees in Scotland and parts of England.
"It was identified by Mr McGregor that some of the colonies were showing signs of disease. The scale of this was unprecedented within the industry.
"Further tests showed it was widespread. The disease continued to spread.
"If left unchecked it would effectively decimate the bee population. Burning all the hives was not a viable option."
The court was told that powder was placed in the hives and ingested by the bees, and that it posed no risk to the human food chain.
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said: "The penalty imposed has to be at such a level to make it clear these regulations, or red tape, have to be complied with.
"They are in place for a reason."
At least 200 original props from all seven films will feature in the interactive show at the O2 in Greenwich.
The props have been loaned by the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, established by the saga's creator George Lucas.
The exhibition opens on 18 November.
The show, called Star Wars Identities, is interactive and allows visitors to explore the franchise universe, understand how the characters were made and also create a character of their own.
The exhibition first began in Canada and has toured European cities including Cologne and Munich.
Other pieces of memorabilia which will be on show include the famous bikini worn by Princess Leia -played by actress Carrie Fisher - in the third film Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
The robot R2-D2 costume, operated by the late small English actor Kenny Baker, will also be exhibited.
President of X3 Productions - creators of the show - Jacques-Andres Dupont said: "This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the beloved characters of Star Wars.
"We get a deeper understanding of their identities, and, at the same time, we get a deeper understanding of our own."
The show also includes concept art produced before the filming of the first three Star Wars films, which gives an insight into how characters such as Chewbacca were developed before film production commenced.
The rights to the franchise were bought by Disney from Lucasfilm in 2012 for $4.05bn (£3.12bn), and was successfully rebooted in December with the seventh film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a large portion of which was shot at Pinewood Studios.
A spin-off film called Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is due to be released in December this year.
The scoreline could have been ever worse for Antrim as their keeper Chris O'Connell made several brilliant saves.
Goals from Jonjo Farrell and Ollie Walsh helped the Cats lead 2-2 to 0-1 although Antrim stayed in touch to trail only 2-12 to 0-10 at half-time.
The second half was one-way traffic as Richie Hogan, Richie Leahy (two) and Farrell added further three pointers.
In addition to keeper O'Connell, Conor McCann and Conor McKinley battled well for the Antrim but the gulf in class showed the tough job that joint-managers Terence McNaughton and Dominic McKinley have on their hands in re-establishing the Saffrons as a genuine hurling force.
Rachid Lamrabet, 42, is accused of raping the man to his injury at Greyfriars Kirk on 26 August 2015.
Mr Lamrabet, a native Spanish speaker from London, denies the charge and has lodged a special defence claiming the complainer consented to sex.
The trail at the High Court at Livingston, before Lord Woolman, continues.
The 23-year-old admin worker said he clearly remembered being raped and asked his attacker to stop.
The contemporary theatre graduate from Manchester said he ran half naked from the graveyard to escape his attacker.
He claimed he recalled nothing else until he woke up in an ambulance.
Giving evidence from behind a screen in court, the man said he had come to the Scottish capital with friends to perform in a show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2015.
He said he had gone out socialising in the city centre with his friends after they had finished a performance.
He admitted he had had at least 10 drinks before he left the Hive nightclub in Niddry Street alone, and identified himself on CCTV stumbling drunkenly outside the club and dropping his mobile phone several times.
The jury also saw CCTV footage of the alleged victim wandering the streets around the Cowgate area before apparently approaching a man in the street outside the rear of the Budget Backpackers' hostel near Grassmarket.
He confirmed that video shown in court showed him and the other man "kissing and embracing" each other before setting off down the street hand in hand.
The alleged victim is then captured by another CCTV camera at the Greyfriars Bobby Bar with his right arm around the neck of an older man as they walk together towards the churchyard.
He agreed with advocate depute Tim Niven-Smith that he had met the person seen on the court TV screens and "gone off willingly somewhere with them".
Mr Niven-Smith said: "Clearly you are agreeing with what is happening at that point; you're consenting to what is happening, approving, going along." He replied: "Yes."
He said he was then raped in the churchyard.
He said he had suffered "intimate" injuries as a result of the rape.
He said he had no memory of meeting two "Good Samaritans" who called an ambulance after they found him lying in his underpants at a bus stop on George IV Bridge across from the churchyard shortly before 06:30.
Andy Hall, from Lincolnshire, was given a three-year suspended jail term and fined 150,000 baht ($4,300; £3,300).
Hall had contributed to a report by a Finnish watchdog, Finnwatch, in 2013 alleging the Natural Fruit Company mistreated its workers.
Finnwatch said it was "shocked" by the verdict.
"Andy has been made a scapegoat in order to stifle other voices that speak out legitimately in support of migrant worker rights," said executive director Sonja Vartiala.
"This is a sad day for freedom of expression in Thailand. We fear that many other human rights defenders and victims of company abuse will be scared to silence by this ruling."
Speaking to the BBC before he went into court, Hall said it would be incredibly unjust if he was convicted, but that he was grateful for the international attention the case had brought to migrant rights in Thailand.
Hall's sentence was suspended for two years, meaning he will not go to jail. Because the report was published online in Thailand, he was also found guilty of violating the Computer Crimes Act.
A spokesman for the British embassy in Bangkok said they would be raising the matter with the Thai authorities.
The Finnwatch report - Cheap has a High Price - included allegations that migrant workers were being paid wages below the legal minimum, working long hours at factories and had had their passports illegally confiscated.
Natural Fruit, one of Thailand's biggest pineapple producers, denied all the allegations and brought charges against Hall, who was living in Thailand at the time.
Owner Wirat Piyapornpaiboon had said the report caused damage to him and his company.
Thailand has grown to become one of the world's biggest food producers, but is repeatedly criticised for the treatment of migrant workers.
The frequent use of the criminal defamation law in Thailand to silence critics has been condemned by human rights groups.
The US-based Human Rights Watch said Hall had co-ordinated "important research" and that prosecuting him raised "serious questions about Thailand's readiness to protect workers' rights".
Waits range from two weeks to six months, Sunday Politics Wales found.
Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar said more must be done to avoid future problems, including more veterans taking their own lives.
A specialist veterans' mental health service will re-launch on Thursday.
Veterans' NHS Wales treats ex-service personnel with mental health problems including (PTSD), receiving £485,000 funding a year.
Lead clinician Dr Neil Kitchiner said veterans with symptoms of PTSD must get help quickly.
"If someone doesn't present when they're in service to the psychiatric team then they often leave and several years down the road they present with problems and symptoms which could have been dealt with much sooner," he says.
"They may have fallen out of love several times, they may have gone to prison, they may have been homeless and they may have battled with alcohol and drugs."
Sunday Politics Wales asked local Veterans' NHS Wales services for current waiting times from first assessment to beginning treatment.
Of those who responded, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board service reported waits of two to three weeks while Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said they were about 26 weeks.
CASE STUDY
Maldwyn Jones served nearly 18 years in the Army, including the Falklands War in 1982 with the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards. He also served in Northern Ireland, Belize and Cyprus. A former police officer, he is now a publican.
"Coming out of the Army is difficult. In the armed forces a lot of things are done for you. The way of life and camaraderie is a real different outlook on life.
"With PTSD I think I recognised quite early I was suffering and I got chatting to a Army psychiatric nurse over lunch and talked about a third party - but it was me - and he said the symptoms sounded like PTSD. I got a bit of good advice. I self-diagnosed and self-dealt with it.
"The first time I talked about the event was 16 years after and the lid came off."
Some of an extra £650,000 to improve access to psychological therapies for people with mental health problems is to fund treatment for veterans suffering from PTSD, the Welsh government has said.
Further details are expected this week.
Conservative Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar, chair of the cross-party group on the armed forces, welcomed the extra resources.
But he said: "We need to make sure that when clinicians come across a veteran with PTSD in particular, that they're able to strike while the iron is hot and provide a timely service".
"If we don't have that then unfortunately we are going to see more veterans turning up in the criminal justice system, we're going to see more family breakdown and we're going to see - unfortunately - more veterans taking their own lives."

The Hare Krishna Festival of Chariots began in Granby Street with a welcome ceremony and ended at Cossington Park, in Belgrave, on Sunday afternoon.
Leicester hosts one of the largest celebrations of its type in Europe, organisers said.
The chariot carried deities of the Lord Jagannatha and his sister Subhadra.
The vibrant procession was accompanied with music, singing and dancing as it made its way through the city.
Pradyumna Das, the president of the the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), said Rathayatra, as it is also known, was "the second largest such festival in Europe."
The 5,000-year-old event was first brought to the West by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, the founder of ISKCON, in 1967.
At Cossington Park, revellers were entertained with dance, live music, drama and exhibitions.
Sheridan, 51, led Oldham to 17th in League One after taking over from David Dunn in January.
Ex-Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mark Crossley will be assistant to Sheridan, whom he worked with at Chesterfield.
Previous manager Mark Cooper left Notts in May to join Forest Green, despite the offer of a permanent contract if a points target was achieved.
Oldham initially rejected approaches from Notts County for Sheridan but later allowed him to speak to Notts, who finished 17th in League Two and are currently under a temporary transfer embargo because of unpaid bills.
"There are several reasons behind this move and not all will be apparent to everyone, but John goes with my blessing and eternal thanks for his tremendous effort," Latics chairman Simon Corney told his club's website.
"Whilst we recognise the huge disappointment many fans will be feeling, we ask everyone to try to stick together and continue to support our club. This is not something we wanted or envisaged."
Sheridan started his managerial career at Oldham in 2006 and left after three years with the Latics.
While in charge of Chesterfield, he won the League Two title in 2011 and the Football League Trophy a year later.
"Notts County is a big club - far bigger than its current league position suggests and I know what is required to succeed and get the club back to a higher level," Sheridan told Notts County's website.
"The tremendous home support has always made Notts a tough place to come - this passion can make a real difference and give us a huge advantage in our endeavours next season."
Chief executive Jason Turner added: "I'm confident that we've found a manager who can have us challenging for promotion at the top end of the League Two table.
"He's vastly experienced with a proven track record at this level, so to attract somebody of his calibre is a real statement of intent by the club."
Margaret Harries, from Porth, Rhondda Cynon Taff, later went on to have a second stroke at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Llantrisant, in 2012.
Her family made repeated requests for answers from Cwm Taf health board.
The public services ombudsman said the health board "failed to properly protect" her from an avoidable stroke.
Nick Bennett upheld the family's complaint and said Cwm Taf health board failed to assess and treat her symptoms promptly and effectively. It has apologised.
The ombudsman said there was also a delay in her being seen by a suitably trained clinician and in transferring her to an acute stroke unit, he said.
A report into her care said Mrs Harries was admitted to hospital on 24 March 2012 because she was suffering with diarrhoea and vomiting.
She was waiting to be discharged on 4 April when she suffered her first stroke and, despite family requests, was not seen by a doctor for more than six hours.
Then, overnight whilst she was sleeping, she suffered a further significant stroke.
The report found the health board failed to:
Mrs Harries' son Ceri Harries said the health board repeatedly delayed responding to the family's complaint and he was dissatisfied with the way it was handled and with Cwm Taf's response.
"I still feel angry about it," he said. "Just reading the report now is quite upsetting.
"We all feel really upset about what's happened because my mother was a lovely woman and she's disappeared over time."
Cwm Taf has agreed to give a written apology for the failures identified in the report - which referred to Mrs Harries as Mrs M - and to pay £5,500.
Allison Williams, chief executive of Cwm Taf University Health Board, said: "We reiterate our sincere apologies to Mrs M's family following her treatment in April 2012, and apologise for the distress caused as a result of the failings identified within the report.
"We accept the Public Services Ombudsman's findings in respect of this case and work is ongoing within the health board to address the report's recommendations."
Mrs Harries was transferred to another hospital for rehabilitation a week after her stroke and was discharged to a nursing home in February 2013. She died in November 2014.
Margaret Hughes, 91, was found dead in her bungalow during floods at St Asaph, Denbighshire, in November 2012.
Witness Steven Green told the Ruthin hearing he knocked on her door at 09:00 GMT and said she should go with him.
But the pensioner, who was eating breakfast, "weighed up the pros and cons" and declined, shutting the door.
Mr Green said he had been staying with his parents in a nearby street when the floods hit.
He woke up to see a lot of activity on the street and so decided to check on his grandmother, who lived next door to Mrs Hughes.
Mr Green's grandmother was safe, but he saw a Red Cross worker at Mrs Hughes' door and went to help.
"I think you need to come with us," Mr Green told the great-grandmother.
At that point the flood water was flowing but had not reached kerb height. It was a foot away from her house, Mr Green said.
"She was eating her breakfast," Mr Green told the inquest.
"She looked like she gave it some thought, she weighed it up but she decided not to... and closed the door."
He added: "She looked like she weighed up the pros and cons of it."
Mr Green told the hearing Mrs Hughes looked "warm and cosy".
"She was old but she understood what I was asking her to do," he said. "There was no misunderstanding."
The hearing also heard from David Hallows, one of two Red Cross workers who had been asked to help evacuate the area.
"From what I could see happening, a crisis was coming," he said.
Mr Hallows said he advised Mrs Hughes to leave her home, and pointed to her disabled ramp which had water lapping up around it.
"I think she felt comfortable where she was and she wanted to stay," he said.
"She said she was fine and the door was closed."
Water levels rose by up to 7ft (2.1m) in about 30 minutes.
On Wednesday, the inquest heard Mrs Hughes had joined a flood warning scheme but an alert failed to reach her.
She had signed up to receive alerts through her daughter Gwenda Jones's mobile phone, who she said she did not get one on that day.
The hearing continues.
Joyon, 60, and team-mates took 40 days, 23 hours, 30 minutes and 30 seconds - Frenchman Loick Peyron held the previous record set in 2012.

"It's the result of long years of work," Joyon said after arriving at the Channel island of Ushant.
The Jules Verne Trophy is open to any type of boats without restriction.
He told BBC Scotland: "They are in a title race, Aberdeen are only a point behind them. There is pressure.
"So if there are any kind of nerves we need to capitalise on them.
"If we can silence the crowd by not giving anything away in the first 15 minutes that might put a bit of pressure on them."
And the Jags boss added: "If we are not at our best they could turn us over.
"We have to be switched on and make sure we do the simple things really well."
Aberdeen's 2-1 win over Thistle on Tuesday moved them to within a point of the reigning Premiership champions, though Celtic have played one game fewer.
Archibald thinks both title contenders have the mental strength going into the last quarter of the season.
He said: "Some people were questioning if Aberdeen had enough bottle.
"They showed plenty coming back from a goal down to beat us. Celtic have lots of experience, lots of players who've been over the course before and lots of internationals."
After Saturday's match eighth-placed Thistle will have played all top three Premiership sides in a seven-day period.
They lost 1-0 at Hearts on Saturday prior to that defeat by the Dons.
"In those two games we lost goals at set plays, which isn't like us," said Archibald.
"We have to take the positives out of those games. We've struggled for goals this season but we created three or four good chances against Aberdeen, and if we'd scored one of them when we were a goal up we would probably have won the match.
"The next five games will define our season. After we play Celtic we play three teams below us in the league (Hamilton, Kilmarnock and Dundee United) and Ross County before the split. They are all winnable games.
"After that we'll see where we are, we are dividing the rest of the season into two groups of five games.
"We just have to get through this tough period. We've won two and lost two of the games we had in hand.
"We've had to make changes to freshen things up and because of injuries, it's taken a lot out of us on some heavy pitches, with our own being probably the worst. If we can keep everyone fit we'll be all right."
Zaha's inclusion follows his decision to switch international allegiance from England, where he grew up.
The 24-year-old was born in Ivory Coast but has two England caps, having played against Sweden in November 2012 and Scotland the following year.
As both were friendly matches, he is permitted to commit his international future to his country of birth.
The tournament in Gabon, which starts on 14 January, could see Zaha miss up to six weeks of the season for Palace.
Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has also been called up to the 24-man squad by French coach Michel Dussuyer, as has veteran forward Salomon Kalou, who is set to appear in his fifth Nations Cup.
However former Arsenal forward Gervinho - who now play for Hebei Fortune in China - will be absent after injuring his anterior cruciate ligament.
One player will be cut from the party before the tournament starts.
"Gervinho's absence weighs down on us, for sure. But we have had several weeks to get used to the idea," Dussuyer said. "The arrival of Zaha is therefore great news. His profile is similar to Gervinho's."
The defending champions have a training camp in Abu Dhabi starting on 2 January.
"One of the challenges facing us in camp will be that some of the players will be rested and others - those playing in England - will be tired and in need of some rest," Dussuyer said.
Ivory Coast kick off the tournament against Togo on 16 January, before facing DR Congo and Morocco in the group stage.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Sylvain Gbohuo (TP Mazembe, DR Congo), Badra Sangare (AS Tanda, Ivory Coast), Mande Sayouba (Stabaek, Norway)
Defenders: Serge Aurier (PSG, France), Mamadou Bagayoko (St Trond VV, Belgium), Eric Bailly (Manchester United, England), Simon Deli (Slavia Prague, Czech Rep), Ousmane Viera Diarrassouba (Adanaspor, Turkey), Wilfried Kanon (ADO, Netherlands), Lamine Kone (Sunderland, England), Adama Traore (Basel, Switzerland)
Midfielders: Victorien Angban (Grenada, Spain), Cheik Doukoure (Metz, France), Franck Kessie (Atalanta, Italy), Yao Serge N'guessan (AS Nancy, France), Geoffroy Serey Die (Basel, Switzerland), Jean Michael Seri (Nice, France)
Forwards: Wilfried Bony (Stoke City, England), Max Gradel (Bournemouth, England), Salomon Kalou (Hertha Berlin, Germany), Jonathan Kodjia (Aston Villa, England), Nicolas Pepe (Angers, France), Giovanni Sio (Stade Rennes, France), Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace, England)
No-one has been found guilty of the Real IRA bomb attack in August 1998, in which 29 people were killed.
A High Court judge ruled that Michael Gallagher has established an arguable case that the authorities are in breach of an investigative obligation.
A full hearing will be held in April.
It will explore claims that intelligence may exist to back Mr Gallagher's belief that the attack could have been prevented.
Mr Gallagher's son Aidan was one of the victims of the atrocity.
In September 2013, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers rejected calls for a public inquiry, saying an investigation by Police Ombudsman Michael Maguire was the best way to address any outstanding issues.
Last October, Dr Maguire published a report where he found RUC Special Branch withheld some intelligence information from detectives hunting the bombers.
No-one has ever been convicted of carrying out the attack, but Seamus Daly, a 44-year-old bricklayer from Cullaville, County Monaghan, is currently charged with the 29 murders which he denies.
Central to the bid to have Ms Villiers' decision judicially reviewed was a contention that the government has a duty under Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights to protect lives and investigate the bombing.
Mr Gallagher was in court with his family and Stanley McComb, who lost his wife Ann in the blast, to hear his lawyers claim that the terrorist attack was at least arguably preventable.
They argued that a range of intelligence from British security agents, MI5 and RUC officers could have been drawn together to stop the killers.
Counsel for the secretary of state said that four separate Police Ombudsman examinations into Omagh had already been held.
In the latest report Dr Maguire concluded nothing had been identified which could have prevented the atrocity, but that Special Branch had acted "cautiously".
Further opposition to the challenge was based on the date of the bombing - two years before human rights legislation was incorporated into UK law in 2000.
But granting leave to seek a judicial review, Mr Justice Treacy held that Article 2 duties were at least arguably engaged.
He also decided an arguable case had been established that the state was in breach of its obligation to conduct such an investigation into claims the attack could have been prevented.
The judge listed the case for a substantive two-day hearing on April 29-30.
Outside court, Mr Gallagher expressed delight at the outcome.
He said: "This is but a step on our continued fight for justice. Today the courts have agreed at the very least that the secretary of state's decision was questionable.
"We will now move on to prepare for a full hearing to show the state has yet to properly investigate the circumstances of the Omagh bomb."
The decision was also welcomed by Amnesty International.
"What the families, and Northern Ireland more broadly, deserve is the fullest account possible of what happened in Omagh," Amnesty's Patrick Corrigan said.
Head coach Warren Gatland has decided to stick with the players that he knows best from coaching Wales. They won the Grand Slam in 2012, beat England in the final game to win this year's Six Nations and made the 2011 World Cup semi-final.
Gatland knows what they can do, but his decision does put a bit of pressure on him.
If they win he is a hero. If they lose, everyone will be criticising him for picking so many Welshmen. His decision also puts added pressure on the Welsh players to perform.
All selections are a gamble in many ways, but it is a little surprising that five changes were made for the second Test and another six for the Sydney Test. It is unusual to have so many changes as successful sides do not do that - they are settled.
Gatland's front-row selection looks solid, although I believe England lock Geoff Parling is quite fortunate to keep his place in the second row.
And in the back row I would have had yet another Welshman - flanker Justin Tipuric - in the starting line-up!
The Welsh players will also have the added motivation of the nation's poor recent record - they have lost eight on the bounce - against Australia.
Wales have been really unfortunate against the Wallabies of late though, and they could easily have won two of their three most recent encounters.
With those defeats in mind, they will be bursting for revenge.
I am surprised that Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll has been left out as he would have been the ideal captain. But Wales lock Alun Wyn Jones is playing very well, and he will certainly lead by example.
Provided Wales centre Jamie Roberts is fully fit when he returns at the weekend, he has the ability to go across the gain line.
An inability to do so was a real problem last Saturday, when the Lions made no breaks at all.
To beat the Australians, we have to have somebody who can put us on the front foot.
While our regional sides have been very poor in recent years, luckily the national team has been very consistent.
Remembering back to the 1971 and 1974 Lions teams, of which I was a part, we also had a strong Welsh influence.
You can really take the positivity from the national side to the Lions - that certainly happened in 1971 when we were series victors in New Zealand, and in 1974 when we finished unbeaten in South Africa.
Let's hope the same thing happens again for the Lions on Saturday.
The last two games have been decided by two-point and one-point margins, and it could go down to the last minute again.
It will be very tight, and I think Australia will start as slight favourites.
JPR Williams was talking to BBC Sport's Matt Monaghan
Perera scored 135 as the tourists made good use of a run-friendly wicket with an imposing 377-8 from their 50 overs.
Andy McBrine top-scored for Ireland at number eight with 79 off 64 balls, including seven fours and two sixes.
Sri Lanka's total never looked in any real danger and Suranga Lakmal helped see off the tail, with figures of 4-38.
After Perera and Danuska Gunathilaka, who made 63 off 78 deliveries before being run out, had put on 147 for the opening wicket, Seekkuge Prasanna contributed 95 off 46 balls, his best one-day total, to help put Sri Lanka in control.
By the time Perera was eventually out, caught by Paul Stirling off Tim Murtagh in the 42nd over, Sri Lanka had pushed on to 309 to leave Ireland facing a testing run chase.
The total was the highest accumulated in a one-day international in Ireland and the visitors scored 212 of their runs in boundaries, 32 fours and 14 sixes.
Murtagh was the most successful of the Irish bowlers, with three wickets for 66 runs from his 10 overs.
In reply, Ireland's top order, though, failed to make an early progress, as opener William Porterfield went for eight and number three Ed Joyce for nine.
John Anderson scored 34 and Stuart Poynter 36, before McBrine put up some late resistance with his maiden ODI half-century.
After their heaviest home defeat in a one-day international, Ireland will look to bounce back when they play Afghanistan next month in a five-match ODI series, the first game at Stormont taking place on Sunday, 10 July.
The events included broken instruments falling into patients' bodies, electrical sparks causing tissue burns and system errors making surgery take longer than planned.
The report notes that the figures represent a small proportion of the total number of robotic procedures.
But it calls for fresh safety measures.
"Despite widespread adoption of robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery, a non-negligible number of technical difficulties and complications are still being experienced during procedures," the study states.
"Adoption of advanced techniques in design and operation of robotic surgical systems may reduce these preventable incidents in the future."
Robotic surgery can reduce the risk of infections and help patients heal more quickly.
The UK's Royal College of Surgeons said it believed the report should be "treated with caution".
"The authors note 'little or no information was provided in the adverse incident reports' about the cause of the majority of deaths, meaning they could be related to risks or complications inherent during surgery," said a spokeswoman.
"The authors do not compare the level of complications in surgery where robots are not used, nor do they examine the benefits of robotic surgery which are starting to be reported."
The work was carried out by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Chicago's Rush University Medical Center.
Their paper says 144 deaths, 1,391 injuries and 8,061 device malfunctions were recorded out of a total of more than 1.7 million robotic procedures carried out between January 2000 and December 2013.
This was based on reports submitted by hospitals, patients, device manufacturers and others to the US Food and Drug Administration, and the study notes that the true number could be higher.
Its authors say the number of injuries and deaths per procedure has remained relatively constant since 2007. But due to the fact that the use of robotic systems is increasing "exponentially", they add, this means that the number of accidents is increasing every year.
They highlight that when problems do occur, people are several times more likely to die if the surgery involves their heart, lungs, head and/or neck rather than gynaecological and urological procedures.
They acknowledge that the data does not pinpoint why, but suggest it is because the former are more complex types of operations for which robots are less commonly used, so there is less experience and expertise available.
The researchers did not, however, compare accident rates with similar operations in which robots were not used. Their study has not been peer reviewed.
Surgical robotic devices are typically expensive - costing millions of pounds - but offer advantages.
They can allow surgeons to use smaller instruments, letting them make smaller and more nimble cuts. That can mean patients recover faster, with less risk of infection and the promise of smaller scars.
In addition, the development of remote surgery means that doctors do not always need to be in the same room as their patients, allowing specialists who are in demand to treat more people.
Despite these benefits, sales of surgical robots declined by 2% in 2013 - the most recent year for which figures have been published by the International Federation of Robotics.
That has been linked to some medical experts questioning claims that the cost of using such machines is justified by improved outcomes.
"There is no good data proving that robotic hysterectomy is even as good as - let alone better - than existing, and far less costly, minimally invasive alternatives," the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said in 2013.
"Aggressive direct-to-consumer marketing of the latest medical technologies may mislead the public into believing that they are the best choice."
Others specialists have, however, vouched for such systems' benefits in other procedures.
"The Royal Marsden has performed more robotic surgical procedures for prostate cancer than any other hospital in the UK," states the London hospital's website.
"We have dramatically improved functional and oncological outcomes for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy [the removal of the prostate gland to treat cancer]."
Although the study links hundreds of injuries and deaths to robotic surgery, in most cases the FDA's logs do not make clear whether the use of the machines was directly responsible.
In fact, of the headline figures, only a minority - five of the deaths and 436 of the injuries - are specifically tied to technical errors that occurred during an operation.
But the authors say there is still reason to be concerned.
They list 1,166 cases of broken/burned parts falling into patients' bodies, which contributed to 119 injuries and one death.
Uncontrolled movements and spontaneous powering on/off of the machines are said to have caused 52 injuries and two deaths.
Electrical sparks, unintended charring and damaged accessory covers are linked to 193 injuries, including the burning of body tissues.
And the loss of quality video feeds and/or reports of system error codes are said to have contributed to a further 41 injuries and one death.
The report's authors suggest that one way to tackle such problems would be to give surgical teams more troubleshooting training - including the use of computer simulations that feature technical problems - to help them learn how to restart surgery more quickly after interruptions.
The scheme hopes to safeguard the future of the Torwoodlee Tower near Galashiels which dates back to 1601.
A fundraising campaign was launched in 2001 to generate the resources necessary to consolidate the building.
A two-year £150,000 project is now able to get under way which should help to make the structure safe to view.
The tower plays a part in the history of Galashiels and its annual Braw Lads' Gathering celebrations.
James Pringle, the 14th and current laird of Torwoodlee, said: "In 2001 we launched a campaign to raise the funds we needed to consolidate this romantic ruin.
"That year was the quincentenary of 1501 when we first came to Torwoodlee and it seemed a very apt moment to be thinking of the next 500 years.
"Now, thanks to the generosity of the Fallago Environment Fund, Historic Scotland, local people and Pringles around the world, we are in a position to undertake the two year project to stop the tower falling down any more."
He said when the project was finished the tower would be "safe for people to look at and admire once again".
The Anaphylaxis Campaign - an allergy charity - says there are about 35 known cases in the entire world.
And for that reason, scientific understanding of the condition is relatively limited.
Aquagenic urticaria - as it is officially called - is something that even many medical professionals know nothing about.
But after discussing the condition on BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine Show, the production team was amazed when dozens of people came forward to say they were suffering in a similar way.
It seemed that thanks to our radio phone-in, we had discovered that more people suffer with an allergy to water than previously thought.
Dr Sarah Jarvis, a GP and BBC Radio 2's medical expert, says: "Allergy to water is remarkably rare.
"Some people are so allergic to water that even their tears or their sweat can cause them to come out in a rash.
"The most common time to develop allergies in general is around the time of puberty, although they can be developed at any stage of life.
"Often the allergy can become worse over time.
"A true water allergy is a type of urticaria.
"With urticaria, within one to 15 minutes of being exposed to a substance, you come up in hives.
"It is like nettle rash on the skin, and you can get really dramatic swelling all over.
"Fingers especially can become red, hot and intensely itchy."
Dr Jarvis says antihistamine tablets are used to treat most types of urticaria, but they deliver only variable success for those with a genuine water allergy.
"There simply aren't enough people in the world who have it to be able to successfully conduct the studies we need to," she says.
"There is no definitive cure."
But as with any allergy, people who suffer do so with varying degrees of severity.
Dr Jarvis says: "Some people will come out in hives regularly, others occasionally, and some people will get it chronically, with the swelling and itching lasting for weeks."
Below, some of our listeners explain what it is like to be allergic to water.
There have been times where it has felt like someone is holding a stinging nettle to my face.
The allergy - which mainly causes intense itching - is concentrated in the creases of my elbows, the backs of my knees and my face.
Even sweat makes me itch.
I have to carry a hand towel with me everywhere I go to wipe it off.
I am a cyclist, and every time I come to standstill, I dab my face.
Sometimes people do not believe that you are allergic to water; they take the Mickey out of you.
It all started when I was about 60.
I was a metal grinder, and initially I thought it had something to do with metal dust getting to me.
If I had a shower or got my hands wet, they - along with my torso and back - would itch like nobody's business.
I get a red rash all over.
If you were to feel my arm after I have a reaction, it feels like sandpaper.
And in fact if someone had rubbed actual sandpaper on me after, it would have been a relief.
The itching is so intense that at times I would actually go outside and rub my back against a pebbledash wall.
I flare up even if I do everyday tasks like cleaning out the fish tank.
If it was much more severe, I can see how it might drive you to suicide.
You just want anything to take the pain away.
I went to the see the doctor, and we went through everything in my lifestyle.
I changed shampoo, shower gels, water temperature, and nothing worked.
My doctor eventually decided that the only thing it could be was water.
I am helped now by a heavy-duty antihistamine.
I was eight when it first happened.
I was walking to school one day in the rain, and my hands and neck swelled up with hives - it was really frightening.
I later went to the doctor for an allergy test.
They put tiny drops of different substances on my arm to see what I was allergic to.
They also put a 'control' substance on, which was water.
It is a control substance because water is not supposed to cause a reaction at all.
But after 15 minutes, my entire arm swelled up.
It turns out that I was allergic to it.
It got worse for me.
I would play sport at school - but the moment I started to sweat, I would get swelling.
When the swelling happens around my joints, it really hurts.
When my neck swells up, it makes me wheezy.
Teachers did not believe me when I said I could not play sport in the rain - until they saw what it did to me.
I take antihistamines every day, which means I can drink water - it is a necessary evil.
I tend to have three-minute showers and have to get dry as fast as possible.
From the response we got from our listeners on the Jeremy Vine Show, it would appear that a true allergy to water could be more common than widely believed.
Amena Warner, the head of clinical services for Allergy UK, said: "Once awareness is raised of what the symptoms are of this condition, then many people may associate this with the symptoms they are experiencing.
"And so, we may come to realise that actually it is not quite as rare as we think."
On 18 June 1994, a few regulars had just finished watching the Republic of Ireland's footballers beat Italy in the World Cup.
Just after 22:00 BST, two gunmen from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), one armed with an AK47 and the other with a Czech-made rifle, walked inside and began firing indiscriminately.
Six men were killed instantly.
They were 34-year-old Adrian Rogan, Malcolm Jenkinson, 53, Barney Green, 87, Daniel McCreanor, 59, Patrick O'Hare, 35, and Eamon Byrne, 39.
All were Catholic civilians. Mr Green was one of the oldest people to be killed in the Northern Ireland Troubles.
Witnesses said that the killers laughed as they ran to their getaway car.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the brother of the bar owner described how the dead were "piled on top of each other".
"We are still in a state of complete numbness. My head is just saturated with the thought of it all. My feelings for these poor families," Keiron O'Toole said.
He also rubbished claims by the UVF that the bar had been hosting a republican meeting.
"That is absolute nonsense. This was a mixed pub, Protestant and Catholic came in, no-one cared what religion they were.
"There was just a complete attempt to kill Catholics and who ever else happened to be in the bar among them."
The UVF's explanation for the attack was also dismissed angrily by unionist politicians.
"Obviously these people are psychopaths - nothing short of it," an Ulster Unionist councillor said.
"I feel shocked and disgusted to think that these people call themselves loyalists."
Senior police officers had their own views on the reason for the murders - a random sectarian attack in response to other killings.
Two days previously, republican terror group the Irish National Liberation Army had killed three UVF members in Belfast.
The following day, the UVF responded by killing a Catholic taxi driver and later two Protestants, they believed to be Catholic.
They then turned their attention to the County Down bar.
No-one has ever been convicted over the Loughinisland attack and the families of those who died became concerned about the investigation.
In 2006, they lodged an official complaint with the police ombudsman, who has the power to investigate the actions of police in Northern Ireland throughout the Troubles.
The families said they were prompted by revelations that linked the gang with at least one person who was an agent of the security forces.
They were also concerned that the getaway car used by the killers was destroyed by police ten months after the shootings and not retained for evidential purposes.
The ombudsman's report has been delayed on several occasions.
It had been scheduled for publication in 2009, but was postponed after new material came forward.
Relatives of those who died were strongly critical of the original ombudsman report when it was finally published in 2011.
It found that the police did not properly investigate the killings but said there was no evidence of collusion between police and the UVF paramilitaries who carried out the attack.
The report's findings were later quashed by Belfast High Court and a fresh investigation was opened by the ombudsman.
In 2014, one of the survivors, Colm Smyth, called on those responsible to come forward.
A police reservist was arrested and questioned over perverting the course of justice and withholding information in 2010.
After considering the charges against him, the Public Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence and it would not be proceeding with a court case. | Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany says Manchester United have regained their desire to win the derby.

Starting next year, the site will co-host the long-standing Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Premier event with a men's World Tour 250 tournament in the same week.
"We are thrilled by Eastbourne Borough Council's substantial investment into Devonshire Park to keep this iconic venue as one of the very best in the country," said LTA chief executive Michael Downey.
"We are also delighted to enter into a brand-new 10-year hosting agreement with the site, ensuring that world class women's and men's tennis will be here until at least until 2026, guaranteeing our loyal fans the best possible entertainment experience."
It says air pollution from burning coal in the area north of the Huai River, with a population of some 500m people, was 55% higher than in the south.
The region also had higher rates of heart and lung disease as a result of the policy in force up to 1980.
The study was conducted by researchers from China, the US and Israel.
They studied pollution and deaths in 90 cities in the north and south between 1981 and 2000.
They specifically looked at the increase in a type of pollution called total suspended particulates (TSPs) found in soot and smoke.
The researchers then analysed mortality statistics in 1991-2000 and found evidence of shorter life expectancy in the previously "free coal" areas.
"Life expectancies are about 5.5. years lower in the north owing to an increased incidence of cardio-respiratory mortality," said the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"The analysis suggests that the Huai River policy, which had the laudable goal of providing indoor heat, had disastrous consequences for health."
The scientists argued that their findings may help other emerging economies - such as Brazil or India - to find better ways to combine a drive for economic growth and public health protection.
The report's findings will increase pressure on the Chinese authorities to do more to tackle pollution, the BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing reports.
Earlier this year, the government faced a public outcry after air pollution soared past levels considered hazardous by the World Health Organization, our correspondent says.
World number two Murray, who beat Novak Djokovic to win the Italian Open in his last match, lost the first two sets to the 37-year-old Czech qualifier.
The Briton won the third set and was ahead 4-2 in the fourth when the duo were called off at 20:22 BST.
Stepanek leads 6-3 6-3 0-6 2-4, with the match resuming at 11:30 on Tuesday.
Murray was on the back foot from the start of the match, which began after 18:00 following a lengthy rain delay.
The 29-year-old lost his serve in third game of the first set and was broken again in the ninth as Stepanek, the oldest player in the draw, drew upon his vast experience.
The second seed broke to love to start the second set but then immediately lost his own serve.
Stepanek, ranked 127 in the world, then broke again at 4-3 to carve out a two-set lead.
Murray, though, showed his resolve and raced through the third set in just 18 minutes as former world number eight Stepanek began to lose his way in the fading light.
Stepanek, a Wimbledon quarter-finalist in 2006, seemed to be stalling for time and received a warning after taking a toilet break and then changing his shirt.
It did not disrupt Murray's rhythm and the Scot extended his run of games to nine before the Czech held his serve.
The British number one was next to serve and seemed well placed to force a decider when play was called off for the evening.
Murray is bidding to join fellow Britons Kyle Edmund and Heather Watson in the second round, while compatriots Johanna Konta, Laura Robson and Aljaz Bedene are due to start their campaigns on Tuesday.
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller:
"Lacking timing - and looking a shadow of the player who had produced such dominant tennis in Rome two weeks ago - Murray found himself two sets down to Stepanek in no time at all.
"The 37-year-old Stepanek, with three qualifying wins under his belt, adapted to the slow conditions superbly, and only by winning 10 of the last 12 games of the night did Murray drag himself back into the match.
"Murray will have to start so much better on the resumption, as Stepanek is likely to pose a serious threat after a good night's sleep and with nothing to lose."

Coastguard rescue teams were called to just north of Chimney Hole, near Filey, just after 19:00 BST on Thursday.
It is thought the girl, understood to be Leah Price, lost her footing on cliffs near the Blue Dolphin holiday park.
She was airlifted to Hull Royal Infirmary where she is in a "critical but stable condition", police said.
A spokesman for the holiday park said they believed the family were from Nottingham.
"We are continuing to offer assistance to Leah's family and friends through this difficult and painful time," he added.
Coastguard rescue teams from Filey, Scarborough, Burniston, and Bridlington attended along with the inshore lifeboat from Filey.
The coastguard said the rescue was the first carried out using the new Rescue 912 helicopter.
In 2005, a six-year-old girl escaped with just "bumps and bruises" when she plunged 150ft (46m) from the same area.
Terri Ellwood, a 16-year-old-girl, fell to her death near the same caravan site in 2003.
A total of £170,000 in cash and a stun gun were seized during searches at various locations in Armagh on Wednesday.
Those detained were three men aged 31, 38 and 58, and a 56-year-old woman.
The operation began when officers "forcibly stopped" a van on the Killylea Road at about 15:00 BST.
A 38-year-old man, who was driving the van, was arrested at the scene after officers found £10,000 inside the vehicle.
During a follow-up search of a house on Salters Grange Road police seized a Mercedes S63 AMG, a BMW X5 and documents.
At about 16:30 BST, a 31-year-old man was arrested at a filling station on Cathedral Road in the city.
Officers then went to an address in Callan Crescent, where they found about £160,000 hidden in the living room.
They also found the stun gun and four "extremely high-end designer watches" at the property.
The woman and the 58-year-old man, who were in the property at the time, were arrested.
A police spokesman said officers believed the cash and jewellery were the "proceeds of major drugs criminality".
"We believe this operation has struck a major blow to the activities of an organised gang involved in serious drugs criminality in Northern Ireland," he said.
All four are still being questioned on suspicion of drug and money laundering offences.
Franky Mills, 19, shot beloved family pet Bomber in the neck with an air rifle last March, before going on to attack six more.
One, Ruby, had to be put down, another needed his leg amputated, and two had eyes removed.
Mills admitted seven counts of criminal damage and seven firearms charges.
He was sentenced at Guildford Crown Court, and was ordered to serve 12 months in a youth offenders' institute, and 12 months on licence.
In a statement read out in court, Ruby's owner said: "My son was very attached to her and she would always sleep on his bed. He took the news really badly and started struggling at school and would become very tearful and quiet.
"The person who shot our cat has changed our family forever and this is something I will never forgive or forget."
Sgt Paul Eden said: "Mills' behaviour is deeply concerning and completely unacceptable and his actions have caused a great deal of distress to a number of families."
Mills was also fined £100. His air weapons and ammunition were confiscated, and a restraining order was placed on his preventing him buying more for five years.
The witness who came forward and helped the police catch Mills will be awarded a £2,000 award from animal rights charity, PETA.
Andrew Coulter, 35, told a jury at the High Court in Glasgow the alleged confession never happened.
He was giving evidence at the trial of his uncle Ronnie Coulter, who denies murdering Surjit Singh Chhokar in 1998.
Ronnie Coulter, 48, is on trial for a second time after being acquitted of the murder in 1999.
He has lodged a special defence blaming his nephew Andrew Coulter and David Montgomery, who is known by his nickname Chez.
Mr Chhokar died in Overtown, North Lanarkshire, on 4 November 1998.
Andrew Coulter was giving evidence for a third day in the trial of his uncle, who is from Wishaw.
Defence QC Donald Findlay said: "After Ronnie was acquitted of murdering Chhokar, at some time the two of you were out of prison you had a conversation about the events involving Mr Chhokar. Do you remember a conversation?"
Andrew Coulter replied: "I never spoke to Ronnie when I got out of prison."
Mr Findlay went on: "You had a conversation about what happened that night. It was a short conversation. You weren't speaking and Ronnie said: 'Was it Chez?' and you said: 'No.'
"And he said: 'Was it you?' and you said: 'Yes.'"
Andrew Coulter responded: "No that's lies. That never happened."
Mr Finlay told Andrew Coulter that he was a liar and had murdered Chhokar, but the witness replied: "I didn't. You're doing your best for your client and I respect that.
"If you're believing everything he says then he's taking you for a mug, just like he's taken everyone else for a mug all these years."
The jury has already heard Andrew Coulter was convicted of killing Patrick Kelly in 1999 by stabbing him in the leg, and had been sentenced to six years' detention.
David Montgomery, 39, from Motherwell, previously told the jury that he drove Andrew and Ronnie Coulter to Mr Chhokar's home in Garrion Street, Overtown, on the day he died.
He said a meeting had been arranged between Andrew Coulter and 32-year-old Mr Chhokar over a stolen Giro cheque.
Ronnie Coulter denies all the charges against him. The trial before judge Lord Matthews continues.
The incident involving the driver of a black Nissan Micra happened shortly before 08:00 GMT on the A525 Ruthin Road near the Brookhouse Mill, Denbigh, on Monday.
The road was closed for several hours following the crash but has now reopened.
No other people or vehicles were involved.
North Wales Police said investigations were continuing and urged anyone with information to contact them on 101.

Fe wnaeth 8.3% o'r graddau gyrraedd y safon uchaf, gyda 25% o raddau hefyd yn cael eu dyfarnu'n A neu A*.
Roedd canran y disgyblion wnaeth lwyddo i gael gradd A*-E yn 97.7%, yr uchaf mewn degawd.
Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Addysg, Kirsty Williams fod y canlyniadau yn dangos "cynnydd calonogol".
Cyn eleni doedd canran y myfyrwyr oedd wedi cael gradd A* yn eu harholiadau Safon Uwch ddim wedi bod yn uwch na 7.3% - llynedd roedd yn 6.6%.

But the new creature, named Gualicho shinyae, was not closely related to T.rex, suggesting the unusual limbs evolved independently.
The 90 million-year-old animal from northern Patagonia measured about 7.6m long and would have weighed about a tonne - about the same as a polar bear.
Details of the work by an international team appear in the journal Plos One.
Like Tyrannosaurus rex, the new Gualicho shinyae is a theropod, one of the two-legged, bird-like dinosaurs - but it's on a different branch of the family tree.
"Gualicho is kind of a mosaic dinosaur, it has features that you normally see in different kinds of theropods," said co-author Peter Makovicky, from The Field Museum in Chicago, US.
The position of Gualicho on the theropod tree suggests it evolved its small forelimbs independently from other carnivorous dinosaurs which shared the trait - rather than it arising from a common ancestor.
"It's really unusual—it's different from the other carnivorous dinosaurs found in the same rock formation, and it doesn't fit neatly into any category," said Dr Makovicky.
Despite its relatively large size, the dinosaur's forelimbs were the size of a human child's, and like T. rex, it had just two digits (thumb and forefinger).
The dinosaur was uncovered towards the end of the expedition in northern Patagonia.
The dig was beset with bad luck, including a car crash in which a truck carrying the team rolled over (but in which no one was badly hurt).
He said keeping web browsing data was not for spying on the public but to see "for example, whether a suspect has downloaded a terrorist manual".
The government is due to publish new laws on UK security agencies' powers to obtain information on suspects.
Meanwhile, ministers have ruled out plans to restrict or ban companies from encrypting data.
However, under the new legislation security services will retain the capacity to intercept the content of communications after obtaining a warrant.
The Investigatory Powers Bill has been dubbed by some a "snoopers' charter" and privacy campaigners have vowed to fight any attempt to force companies to keep users' data.
Sir David, who was previously director of GCHQ - Britain's communications surveillance centre - said the new legislation did not need to grant "significant new powers".
But he added: "The one area is the question of, should the internet companies be compelled to retain communications data or metadata, including the web history? I think it is necessary."
The emergence of encryption has been identified as a major headache for law enforcement bodies, with suggestions that it risks leaving them locked out of some areas of cyberspace.
There has been major growth in the use of encrypted apps which encode messages in a way that makes it harder for a third party to intercept the content.
The minister for internet safety and security, Baroness Shields, had said she recognised the "essential role" that strong encryption played in protecting people's details.
But she added the government still wanted tech companies to be able to unscramble "targeted" data and hand it over when required.
That puts the government at odds with apps such as Apple's iMessage and WhatsApp as the service providers have no way to decrypt the messages users send.
Instead, a technique called end-to-end encryption employed by the apps means that only the sender and recipient can see what was posted.
Her Majesty wore blue at the State Opening of Parliament but by the time she arrived at the races, she had changed into yellow.
William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said his betting firm had taken just 13 bets on yellow.
The Queen wore green on Monday, when she attended the opening of the event.
Mr Adams said: "After seeing the Queen wear a blue hat for her speech in Parliament, many punters expected her to remain in her clothing for Royal Ascot.
"However, they were left disappointed when she was seen in her procession in a yellow hat, the second favourite in our betting."
The Queen had to attend the second day of the racing event on Wednesday without the Duke of Edinburgh who was admitted to hospital on Tuesday evening.
Its ruling body voted in favour of a proposal by leader Mike Nesbitt for the party to withdraw from government.
He had made the recommendation after police in Northern Ireland said members of the Provisional IRA were involved in murdering ex-IRA man Kevin McGuigan Sr.
Mr Nesbitt said Danny Kennedy, the UUP's only executive minister, will now resign, and he described the executive as a "busted flush".
The party's leader Mike Nesbitt said Mr Kennedy would tender his resignation on Tuesday.
Mr McGuigan Sr's murder earlier this month has raised questions about the status of the political institutions in Northern Ireland.
Chief Constable George Hamilton said an infrastructure still exists at a senior level of the Provisional IRA.
But he added there was no evidence that Mr McGuigan Sr's murder was sanctioned by that hierarchy.
Sinn Féin said the Provisional IRA had "gone away" after ordering an end to its armed conflict in 2005.
Mr Nesbitt said Sinn Féin had "no credibility and we have no trust and without trust we have nothing".
The UUP's executive, which has over 100 members, met at a hotel in east Belfast to discuss Mr Nesbitt's recommendation for the party to pull out of government.
It voted unanimously to support the move.
Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly said Mr Nesbitt was "trying to spook the DUP into pulling the institutions down".
"I think [he] is setting leadership aside here for narrow party political reasons, even though he argues that it's quite the opposite," Mr Kelly said.
"What unionism needs to realise if it is pulling down these institutions is that they're not just punishing the nationalist vote, they are also punishing the voters who vote for unionists."
The DUP said earlier this week it believed that if anyone was excluded from government in Northern Ireland it should be Sinn Féin, "not unionists".
The SDLP and the Alliance Party both said ahead of the meeting that a decision by the UUP to leave the executive would be "premature".
Rodgers, 43, has been without a club after he was sacked by Liverpool in October 2015.
He was linked with a return to Swansea following Monk's departure in December.
"I spoke to Huw Jenkins, the chairman, and people I know well but I made it clear, I was pretty open," Rodgers told beIN sports.
"Swansea is a wonderful club, and there were also a couple of other Premier League clubs I could have gone back to, but I was open and up front.
"I wasn't going to be available to come into a club before the summer."
Swansea put coach Alan Curtis in temporary charge after Monk's exit, with Italian Francesco Guidolin subsequently appointed head coach.
Rodgers was appointed Swansea manager in July 2010 and guided the Welsh club to promotion to the Premier League in 2011.
The Northern Irishman left the Liberty Stadium to succeed Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool in May 2012 but was sacked after three and a half years in charge in October 2015.
The former Watford and Reading manager said he wanted to take a break before making a return to management.
"I have had five opportunities since I left Liverpool to get back into work, all at clubs I really respect," Rodgers added.
"But I just felt I wanted to take some time out. It is very intense when you are in the game."
In London the FTSE 100 closed under 6,000 points as investors dumped commodities shares.
The blue-chip index ended the day 2.2% lower, down 135 points at 5,952.7.
On Wall Street the S&P 500 fell almost 2%, with the Dow Jones down 1.8% and the Nasdaq 2.2% lower.
Tim Courtney, chief investment officer of Exencial Wealth Advisors, said: "We're stockpiling commodities and demand is not picking up. It's kind of a depressing market."
The International Energy Agency said the oil glut would worsen in 2016 as demand slowed and the Opec cartel showed no signs of cutting production.
Oil prices fell further, with Brent slipping below $38 a barrel for the first time in seven years to close 4.5% lower at $37.93.
US crude ended 3.1% lower at $35.62.
Analysts said the forecast for warm weather in the US was also dampening demand.
Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities in New York, said: "About 10% of the S&P 500 is energy and commodity related, and it is a barometer for global economy. When you see such a plunge, it worries investors."
He added: "Until the oil market finds a support level, the market will remain unsettled."
The CBOE volatility index, known as Wall Street's "fear gauge", was up 19.5% at 23.1 - its highest level since early October.
Anglo-African financial services company Old Mutual slumped another 10.6% after dropping sharply on Thursday.
Jasper Lawler, an analyst at CMC Markets, said Old Mutual was abandoned by investors because of its business in South Africa.
"The worry... is that new finance minister David van Rooyen may have been put in to ramp up spending for political purposes against the best interests of the economy," he said.
The rand weakened further to a new record low on Friday, down more than 3%.
Mondi, a packaging and paper company with a South African division, slipped 3.1%, while the FTSE 250-listed asset manager Investec fell 10.8% after a similar fall on Thursday.
In London, shares in miners and oil companies including BHP Billiton, BG Group, Royal Dutch Shell, Glencore and Rio Tinto fell between 4% and 5.3%.
Anglo American was hit by a target price cut from Goldman Sachs and sank a further 8%.
Investors were also awaiting the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates on Wednesday.
"If the Fed does not move next week, it is basically saying that the recovery is not strong enough," said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives for Charles Schwab in Austin, Texas.
"It will definitely be a negative factor for the market."
The now-former officers' trial collapsed in 2011.
The eight cleared are suing South Wales Police for misfeasance in public office and false imprisonment.
Chris Coutts, now retired, told the High Court in Cardiff he had not been "determined" to see them prosecuted.
Graham Mouncher, Thomas Page, Richard Powell, John Seaford, Michael Daniels, Peter Greenwood, Paul Jennings and Paul Stephen are suing South Wales Police.
They claim the force's officers "conducted the investigation with a mindset of guilt towards them" from the start.
Mr Coutts told the court on Monday he took on the job of investigating the claims in July 2003.
Counsel for the claimants, Anthony Metzer QC, suggested his role was to right a "miscarriage of justice" allegedly perpetrated by the men.
"I never saw my role as an avenging angel," he replied. "I saw my role as having been given this task to carry out a professional investigation - that's what I sought to do.
"And to carry it out in the context of the back story and to do it without fear or favour."
Mr Metzer asked Mr Coutts: "You had it in your mind from the outset that you wanted these officers prosecuted, did you not?"
"No I did not," Mr Coutts replied.
"I was not determined. There was no rush to judgement. Over two months, I spent a period of time setting out the lines of inquiry and looking at the material."
Mr Coutts also denied using the book Fitted In by Satish Sekar, a campaigning journalist, as a "progenitor or bible from which to act thereafter".
He said the book was simply among the material which helped set out the areas that had to be considered, adding: "It was not my job to adopt any person's view of the case."
When asked why Mr Sekar was kept up to date with the investigation, Mr Coutts said: "He was a key stakeholder".
"Why does a campaigning journalist have an interest in the case?" Mr Metzer asked, pointing to a 69-page log recording police contact with Mr Sekar.
"He had been designated as such by a chief officer and I had been instructed to carry on in the same way," Mr Coutts replied.
He denied there was a "total lack of open-mindedness" from the outset of the investigation.
The case continues.
Millwall, who won May's League One play-off final, went ahead courtesy of Saville's first goal for the Lions.
But just past the hour mark, Portuguese winger Morais levelled the scores from a free-kick just outside the box.
The result meant that both Millwall and League One runners-up Bolton still await their first Championship wins.
Lions goalscorer Saville, who made his loan move from Wolves to the London club permanent over the summer, converted a neat one-two with Steve Morison for the opener.
Morison could have doubled the home side's lead, but his improvised hook-shot was cleared off the line by Mark Beevers.
Bolton rescued a point when Morais' free-kick from 20 yards proved too good for Millwall keeper Jordan Archer.
Millwall manager Neil Harris:
"I thought we were the better team. I thought we had the most chances, got our noses in front.
"I'm disappointed not to win the game. That's two games in a row where I think we've been the better team in this division and we've only got one point from it.
"However, saying that, I'm really pleased for my players that we get our first point on the board."
Bolton manager Phil Parkinson:
"I'm delighted with our own performance on the day.
"Millwall's a tough place to come, especially their first (home) game back in the Championship. We always knew it was going to be difficult.
"With the key players we lost to injury last week, I thought we stood strong as a team and apart from one slack moment to give them the goal I thought some of our defending and players putting their bodies on the line was top class."

Swindon Borough Council needs to save £1.5m from its libraries budget by 2020.
Four 'core' libraries will remain open and the council said it would look to extend opening hours and encourage volunteer-led library services.
Shirley Burnham, from Save Swindon's Libraries, said they want "the town consulted properly".
"We hope for a rethink...a well costed and well thought out alternative," she said.
Under the proposals, Central, West, Highworth and North libraries will remain open.
The council has also approved a one-off grant of £500k to invest in self-service technology and develop volunteer led library service.
Cllr Mary Martin, cabinet member for communities, said: "With an increasing amount of our budget being spent on vulnerable people in our community we cannot go on as we are.
"The core network proposed in the library strategy will ensure 85 % of households will live less than two miles from a library and that figure will increase further as we are intent on working with the community to develop ways of enhancing the library provision."
There will be an eight-week consultation on the proposals.
If the plans go ahead, library funding will be reduced from June 2017.
Kelly Webster, 36, and Lauren Thornton, 10, were overcome by carbon monoxide fumes from a DIY generator on board his boat on Windermere.
Matthew Eteson, who modified the system to make it quieter, denied two charges of manslaughter by gross negligence.
The 42-year-old will be sentenced at Preston Crown Court on 13 November.
Miss Webster and Lauren, both from Leyland in Lancashire, were found dead in their sleeping quarters on board the second-hand Bayliner 285 motor cruiser Arniston in April 2013.
The trial was told that Eteson, of Hale in Manchester, had constructed a copper pipe which had "fallen apart" when the temperature at the soldered elbow got too high.
The BHA says 30% of jockeys who attend licensing courses never ride a winner, despite money being spent on training.
From 1 April, apprentice or conditional jockeys applying to attend a course must undergo a pre-licence assessment.
Training places for apprentices will fall to 24 from 48, while conditional places will drop to 16 from 40.
The move follows a three-year review.
"The changes ensure our jockeys will have access to significantly enhanced technical, personal and professional training," said BHA chief executive Nick Rust.
"A more efficient and extensive assessment process can help aspiring jockeys who have a genuine chance of success to receive the first-class levels of support and guidance they require."
The BHA strategy involved input from the Professional Jockeys' Association, National Trainers' Federation and Jockeys' Employment and Training Scheme.
Businessman Richard Colton left the cars to the charity in his will in what could become the most generous gift the RNLI has ever received.
Described as "a shy and private man", he was said to be nervous of the sea.
He hoped to raise enough money to fund a new lifeboat to be named after him and his late wife Caroline.
Although there is no official valuation on the cars, two similar vehicles recently sold for a total of £8m.
The red 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB was one of just 10 supplied to the UK. It has been described by experts as "one of the most beautiful cars in the world" as well as one of the most valuable.
The other car, a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4, was widely regarded as the best grand tourer of its time, with the Hollywood actor Steve McQueen owning one.
Mr Colton, from Stanwick, Northamptonshire, died in March aged 82.
He restored both cars and had driven them across Europe.
Guy Rose, legacy manager at the RNLI, said the charity was "deeply grateful and humbled" by the donation.
"Six out of every 10 lifeboat launches are only made possible because of gifts left to us in wills, so they are vital to saving lives at sea.
"Mr Colton's generosity will be felt most by our volunteer crews and the people whose lives they save," he said.
The cars will be auctioned by H&H Classics at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Cambridge.
Researchers at the bank studied the movements of trades ahead of several market-moving US economic reports.
They included a US consumer confidence index, home sales data and initial US GDP data among others.
The study found "strong" evidence of pre-announcement price moves in at least seven cases.
The ECB research paper, Price Drift Before US Macroeconomic News, studied investment trading patterns in the case of 21 market-moving economic indicators between 2008 and 2014.
It found that in the case of a third of the economic announcements, there was strong evidence of what is known as pre-announcement price drift, in which investors correctly bought or sold stocks or bonds in apparent anticipation of an economic announcement and its impact.
Price movements began about 30 minutes before the economic data was officially released, the paper said, and accounted for about half of the total price adjustment caused by the announcement.
The ECB paper said its findings pointed to a widespread leakage of information.
Public bodies in the US are regulated by Principal Federal Economic Indicator guidelines, but the report said most cases of significant price movements involved data that was released by private companies that were not subject to the same rules.
They called for an investigation "to definitively determine" if data was being leaked and how the leaks were occurring.
"Based on a back-of-the-envelope calculation, we estimate that since 2008, in the S&P E-mini futures market alone, the profits associated with trading prior to the official announcement release time have amounted to about $20m per year," the authors said.
"While the overall evidence points to leakage and proprietary data collection as the most likely sources of pre-announcement drift, reprocessing of public information may also contribute to some extent," the paper said, arguing that leakage could not be conclusively established.
"To ensure fairness in financial markets, strict release procedures need to be implemented for all market-moving announcements, including announcements originating in the private sector."
In 2012-13 UK universities were allowed to treble their yearly fees to £9,000.
The government acknowledged the fall but stressed that demand for full time higher education has already "returned to record levels".
The Office For Fair Access says it is "concerned" about a 19% in part-time undergraduate students.
Professor Les Ebdon, its director of fair access to higher education, said part-time students are more likely to come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
"They're also more likely to be mature students already in work, 'up-skilling' to improve their current and future employability," he said.
"Any downturn in their numbers is therefore likely to have serious repercussions on the competitiveness of our economy."
The National Union of Students says the decline in part-time students should be "acknowledged as a crisis".
A spokesperson for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (Bis) said "new part-time students became eligible for non-means tested tuition fee loans for the first time in 2012".
"This has significantly increased the number of students eligible to receive government support. We have also been working hard to communicate the benefits of part-time study through our student finance tour and with the National Careers Service."
England saw a 12% fall in new full-time undergraduate students overall.
Bis said that figure was influenced by a higher number of students taking up places the previous year, rather than having a gap year.
"A reduction in entrants in 2012 was well documented and the numbers were affected by the significant number of students who opted not to defer their place from the year before," its spokesperson said.
The decline had not continued into the current year, she added.
"Application rates for some of the most disadvantaged young people have risen to an all time high in England and more students than ever before are being successful in securing a place at their first choice institution."
The figures, collated by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa), are official confirmation of other indications that there was a fall in the number of people going to university last year.
Previously released figures had shown declines in applications and offers of places, and the admissions body Ucas also reported a fall.
In Scotland, where the government still pays for the tuition of Scottish students studying within the country, there was a 2% rise in the number of students taking up places on full-time undergraduate courses.
The academics' union, UCU, however, said the overall decline was a direct consequence of the rise in tuition fees.
The union's general secretary, Sally Hunt, said it was "no great surprise that the number of students going to university fell off considerably".
She also believes there may be long-term effects.
"Only the government seemed to think the policy was progressive and, while we have seen a recovery in the number of people applying to university, the fear remains that some may never fulfil their potential because of the new funding regime," she added.
The Hesa figures also show a 1% decline in non-EU students coming to the UK to study, something that concerns the National Union of Students.
A rise in the numbers of students from China and Hong Kong was off-set by a 25% fall in Indian students.
It has previously been suggested they are being put off from the expense of study in the UK by a fall in the value of the rupee, and by improvements in Indian universities.
The NUS vice-president with responsibility for Higher Education, Rachel Wenstone, said: "For the first time ever the total number of international students, who are fundamental for the long term financial and academic health of UK universities, has dropped."
A section of the carriageway, near Crathie in Aberdeenshire, was washed away following Storm Frank.
Work on the 20mph diversion route at Micras started on 6 January.
The reopening followed repairs to the nearby Invercauld Bridge, which left the village of Braemar isolated when flood damage forced its closure.
The temporary road near Crathie means motorists heading between Braemar and the rest of Aberdeenshire no longer have to take a 120-mile diversion via Blairgowrie.
The new section of road has been built on adjacent fields. Aberdeenshire Council said a permanent rebuild of the section would be completed in due course.
Down have ratified Burns for the 2017 campaign despite losing all their league and championship games.
Former Mourne boss McGrath has been in charge of Fermanagh since 2013.
"I need to consider what I want to do for 2017, what the players want and how I can push the team forward or if a new face is needed," he said.
"To be honest I have put in two years of hard work and it does take up a lot of time managing any side whether that be club or country," McGrath added in a county board statement to the Irish News.
McGrath was irate at the decision by referee Joe McQuillan to award Mayo a controversial penalty in the 2-14 to 1-12 loss at McHale Park.
James McCartan will continue as Down minors boss but Frank Dawson will not manage the U21 side next year, with his replacement yet to be confirmed.
Today's hi-tech version bringing books to rural communities is a world away from the first ever mobile library in the UK.
It was a Ford van fitted with wooden shelves and holding between 800 and 900 books.
From 1921 it could be seen visiting towns and villages throughout Perthshire.
In 1924, Kent became the next area in Britain to start a similar service.
Nicola Cowmeadow, the local history officer for Perth and Kinross Council, said the first mobile library looked well organised.
She said: "Someone has given it a lot of thought. They have planned it all out, and the books are all there for people to pick and to choose.
"Of course, this would have been part of a wider feeling to get people in rural areas access to books.
"So this would have been a delivery van really, which would have taken books out to a centre."
Dr Cowmeadow says the people who were running the centre would then have been able to choose the books they wanted to stock for the next period.
She says the books would then have been changed over and the vans would go back out.
They would refresh their stock and start the process again.
Dr Cowmeadow says: "It's not quite the way a mobile van would work today, with people approaching the van, but it did give whoever was working there the opportunity to choose the titles that they knew their readership would like."
The early mobile libraries covered large geographical areas.
John Balfour has 50 years experience with the libraries. He drove the mobile van across all parts of the area - and in all weathers.
Looking at photographs of himself working in an early version of a mobile library, he told council archivist Steve Connelly it would have been in 1949, after he did his National Service.
Mr Balfour says: "We did all Perthshire and Kinross, which was a big area, going to the likes of Aberfoyle, Rannoch and down to Kinross."
But nearly 95 years on from this ground-breaking idea, do libraries still matter?
Amina Shah, the CEO of the Scottish Library and Information Council, says: "Libraries have always been trusted street-corner universities, places where anyone can go, a free public space which is really important.
"They belong to their communities and for that to continue to be the case we need to make sure that libraries are relevant to people's lives today and continue to develop and change and grow."
"I think this hotel is truly magnificent; you look at Panama's skyline and you see how this one truly stands out," Mr Trump raved at the opening this month of the giant sail-shaped building emblazoned with his name.
"Our bookings are through the roof. Everyone wants to be here and I really think it's going to be a tremendous success."
President Martinelli was equally excited about the $430m (£266m) building - one of several skyscrapers crammed onto a small residential cul-de-sac on a land-filled point known as Punta Pacifica.
"I would like to thank Donald Trump for coming to Panama and allowing this wonderful building to have his name," Mr Martinelli said.
"This makes Panama very proud."
Yet outside, the torrential downpour flooded the streets' overworked drainage system, turning the peninsula into a swamp island.
Hundreds of construction workers coming off the building sites on either side of the Trump hotel were stranded.
"What a mess," one builder said, as he and dozens of others jostled to pile onto the back of a cattle truck - one of the few vehicles able to get off the flooded peninsula.
Mr Trump and Mr Martinelli also had to plough through the flooded streets in their 4x4s.
"It was unbelievable and he got caught in it," Trump developer Roger Khafif said the following day. "Everybody is upset."
The incident was symptomatic of a city that has grown faster than its infrastructure.
Five years of unprecedented economic growth - and a continued projected growth rate of 8%-9% over the coming years - has turned Panama into a regional giant on wobbly legs.
Since 2007, 50 skyscrapers have been built or are being finished within the next year.
The size and scale of Panama's growth goes far beyond the rest of Central America.
But the growth spurt raises serious questions about overdevelopment.
Already Panama City is feeling the consequences of building its first-world hopes on third-world infrastructure.
"Panama's infrastructure has not grown at the same speed as the economy or city - especially in the past four years," says Public Works Minister Federico Jose Suarez.
"The country did not visualise growth at this rhythm. [Panama] is a victim of its own success."
In an attempt to play catch-up, the Panamanian government will invest $20bn (£12.4bn) in public-works infrastructure in the coming years, including a $5.2bn expansion of the Panama Canal scheduled for completion in 2014.
"This is the investment we need for the next 50 or 100 years, so the country can keep growing and we can administer that growth in a responsible manner," Mr Suarez said.
Panama City could have used some of that long-term planning five years ago.
Panama country profile
Instead, it has grown as haphazardly and unregulated as a 19th Century gold-rush town.
On Punta Pacifica, the ministry of public works has been battling for the past two years to keep construction firms from dumping cement, rubble and sand into the failing drainage and sewerage systems.
It has been a losing battle. Mr Suarez says the government has spent more than $2m in constant efforts to clean Punta Pacifica's subterranean rainwater pipes.
They get so clogged with cement that city workers have to go into the drainage system with pickaxes.
To make matters worse, other developers have illegally tapped sewerage pipes into rainwater drainage systems that dump directly into the ocean.
"As long as this situation continues, no amount of maintenance will work," the minister says.
Even as Panama's building frenzy slows, questions remain about who is going to fill the buildings that have already been built.
Many of the new residential blocks remain mostly darkened at night, suggesting there is not a long waiting list for occupancy.
Developers insist units are being sold to corporations, seasonal tenants and wealthy foreigners.
But Jose Manuel Bern, one of Panama City's main developers, says he is worried that his country's development and economic growth is relying too much on luck and not enough on planning.
Roger Khafif, of The Trump Ocean Club, admits that allowing all the buildings to go up on Punta Pacifica before building the infrastructure to support them and the people who will some day fill them is a bit like putting the cart before the horse.
"They should have done that first; I would say that was more important," he says. "What's the use of bringing everyone here and just piling them up in the city?"
The hosts have not named another keeper in their 13-man squad for the first Test in Durban on 26 December and the second in Cape Town on 2 January.
De Villiers, 31, has kept in 23 of his 102 Tests, most recently against West Indies in January.
Cricket South Africa said the move was to boost the side's batting depth after the recent 3-0 series defeat in India.
De Villiers, who is third in the International Cricket Council Test batting rankings, has scored 7,864 runs at an average of 51.39.
Wicketkeeper Dane Vilas has been dropped after his struggles with the bat and gloves in India, while Quinton de Kock also misses out.
With seamer Vernon Philander still injured, Kyle Abbott retains his place in the pace attack alongside Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Kagiso Rabada.
Uncapped batsman Rilee Rossouw is also included, with off-spinner Dane Piedt selected as the only specialist spinner ahead of Simon Harmer and Imran Tahir.
England face the number one-ranked Test side in a four-Test series before five one-day internationals and two Twenty20 internationals.
South Africa squad for first two Tests: Hashim Amla (capt), AB de Villiers (wk), Kyle Abbott, Temba Bavuma, JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Dean Elgar, Morne Morkel, Dane Piedt, Kagiso Rabada, Rilee Rossouw, Dale Steyn, Stiaan van Zyl.
Visually impaired skier Gallagher will train alongside coach Ross Green in the hope they can race together in Canada.
Evans collided with Gallagher in training last month.

"We don't want to rush her back and risk complications," British performance director Duncan Freshwater said.
The IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships take place from 28 February to 10 March in Panorama.
Gallagher - who won Britain's first-ever Winter Paralympic gold medal in Sochi last year with Evans - revealed details of January's crash in Austria earlier this month.
Evans - a former British ski racer - is said to be showing signs of improvement but not to an extent where she can consider returning to the slopes.
"We have been advised that she needs a little longer to recover," Freshwater told BBC Sport.
"Charlotte is one of the best guides in the world and it is a huge loss to the team, but the most important thing is for her to recover 100%."
Gallagher and coach Green - who finished 15th in the combined event for Team GB at the 2002 Winter Olympics - qualified to compete in Canada by racing together in Italy last week.
They won a Europa Cup race, albeit in a weakened field of just two pairs of athletes.
The duo are likely to enter all five disciplines in Panorama.
Media playback is not supported on this device
However, Freshwater says it is a "huge" ask for Gallagher to build up enough confidence to race with Green at a major event.
"Kelly has to have full faith in her guide because they can be travelling at speeds up to 100km/h," he said.
"It is difficult to build up that relationship quickly, but the decision will be left fully down to Kelly and we will support whatever she decides."
One option may be to focus on 'slower' technical events, such as giant slalom, super-G and slalom races, which theoretically carry a lower risk of injury than the speed disciplines of downhill and super-combined.
The airline investigated complaints that the captain of a flight arriving in Israel announced he was "landing in Palestine".
Iberia found the captain adhered to the standard format, naming only the airports of origin and destination.
Passengers might have confused similar sounding words, the airline said.
Passengers said the pilot made the announcement mentioning Palestine in Spanish, and then said in English the plane was about to land, without mentioning Palestine or Israel.
During the subsequent investigation by the airline, crew members and several Spanish-speaking passengers confirmed that the announcement, given first in Spanish and subsequently in English, was "… we're now descending to land at our destination, Tel Aviv…".
The airline believes the confusion could have been caused by the similar sound of the Spanish words "destino", meaning "destination", and "Palestina".
"Both the company and the crew regret the misunderstanding and that some of our customers could have been offended by it," the airline said in a statement.
The incident happened as the Iberia Airlines flight 3316 approached Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion airport on Wednesday, Israeli media reported.
One Israeli passenger, named only as Lior, told Israel's Channel 2 TV: "We were just in shock, I don't understand why he said that.
"We live in the State of Israel and he should have said 'Israel', he didn't absentmindedly say it in English, it was intentional."
Another passenger wrote a letter of complaint to Iberia, saying: "My family and I were terribly offended. It was not at all acceptable and has done a disservice to your company."
Israel became independent on part of what had been British Mandate Palestine following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in World War One. The land was known as Palestine after Roman times, and the name is still applied to the area by Palestinians and ideological opponents of the Jewish state.
Israel and the Palestinians officially back a two-state solution to their conflict, with a Palestinian state emerging alongside Israel, but years of on-off peace talks have so far been unsuccessful. | Eastbourne's International Tennis Centre will have a £44m upgrade, the Lawn Tennis Association has announced.

Spanish airline Iberia says it has found that the "Palestine comment" allegedly made by one of its pilots, was misunderstood. | 36,577,498 | 14,035 | 1,011 | true |
The data, including names, addresses and social security numbers, was sent out in response to a phishing email.
The fake message appeared to come from the firm's chief executive.
The lawsuit alleges that attackers have already started to make use of the confidential data for fraud but Seagate is contesting those claims.
The company has filed a motion in a California court to dismiss the class action.
It argued that it could not be held responsible for harm caused by the unforeseen actions of criminals, that the claims were based on "allegations" rather than facts and that there was no evidence of negligence by Seagate leading to financial loss by some employees.
Court documents published by tech news site The Register allege that thieves who got hold of the information have used it to file joint tax forms or to help with other forms of ID theft.
The lawsuit seeks to make Seagate pay damages to anyone who has suffered financial loss as a result of the data going astray.
Some people have already had to pay to clear up damage to their credit history and reputation caused by the data loss, alleges the legal document.
The lawsuit also seeks to make the storage giant pay the fees of those who are part of the legal action.
Seagate has not responded to a request for comment.
If Seagate fails in its bid to have the case thrown out the lawsuit will be debated at a trial in front of a jury later in 2016.
Officers are analysing the posts, sent after it was reported the Liverpool player was on the verge of a £49m transfer to Manchester City.
One user told Sterling to hug his daughter before appearing to make threats against her.
A Merseyside Police spokesman said the language used was "abhorrent".
"We are taking the incident extremely seriously and an investigation by detectives in Liverpool CID is on-going," he said.
Another user posted further references to Sterling's daughter along with racist comments.
Many of the tweets have since been deleted.
But several concerned Twitter users took screen-grabs of the posts and urged Merseyside Police to investigate.
The force spokesman added: "People who use the internet to target others and who commit criminal offences such as harassment or hate crime are not beyond the law and can expect to be brought to justice."
Salah Eddin Helal was also fined $110,000 (£80,000), while his chief-of-staff Muhyidin Said's fine was $55,000.
Helal resigned in September, when he was accused of taking bribes to sell state land a heavily discounted price.
Prosecutors said the bribes included a luxury home, membership of an exclusive sports club, and high-end clothing.
The businessman who paid the bribe and another who facilitated it were spared jail because they confessed, a judicial official told the AFP news agency.
The corruption scandal prompted the resignation of Ibrahim Mehleb's government, and Mr Mehleb's subsequent replacement by Ismail Sharif.
Egypt was ranked 88th out of 168 countries on Transparency International's 2015 corruption perceptions index.
The country's 2011 uprising was partially driven by widespread anger at corruption under long-time President Hosni Mubarak.
In May 2015, Mubarak and his two sons were found guilty at a retrial of embezzlement and sentenced to three and four years in prison respectively.
Two months later, a former prime minister under Mubarak, Ahmed Nazif, was sentenced to five years after being convicted of corruption charges at a retrial.
President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, who led the military's overthrow of Mubarak's democratically-elected successor Mohammed Morsi in 2013, has promised to make the fight against corruption a focus of his administration.

While Mr Trump had a strategy - and pursued it on occasion - he was often blown off course by the former secretary of state and torpedoed by his own sometimes badgering performance.
While Mrs Clinton was occasionally prone to know-it-all-ness - particularly in her repeated appeals to outside fact-checkers - she largely maintained the upper hand.
Read Anthony's analysis here of the three ways she scored points, the two times Mr Trump gained an edge and one very important wildcard.
Here's our pick of the most important parts of the evening.
by the BBC's Jessica Lussenhop
Ahead of time, many wondered if Donald Trump - who in past debates with his mostly male Republican rivals used insults and personal attacks - would use the same tactics with Hillary Clinton.
But Trump never openly insulted Clinton, never called her "Crooked Hillary", nor did he cross the stage at any point, as a former senate opponent famously did with Clinton in 2000 - a move that was seen as physically intimidating towards a female candidate.
Despite that, gender and sexism did feature prominently during several exchanges in the debate, and in the initial feedback on the candidates' performance on social media.

On Twitter the debate racked up numbers more commonly seen during international sporting events or shocking breaking news. Nearly five million tweets were sent out using hashtags #DebateNight and #Debates2016.
To put that into perspective, that's about 20 times the comparable number sent during the first big showdown of the UK 2015 general election - considered at the time to be a massive online political event.
And one candidate dominated the majority of the conversation: Twitter's communications team estimated that 62% of tweets were about Trump.

In general, the debate was a bonanza for fact checkers - you can read more from BBC Reality Check here.
Much of the pressure was on NBC anchor Lester Holt - half the country demanded he take a firm hand, and the rest were worried he might interfere - so how did he perform on the night?
At least one did. Walt in Philadelphia told the BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan that before the debate he was leaning towards Trump but now believes Clinton has the better plan.

Most large US media outlets awarded victory to Mrs Clinton.
But columnists also noted that Republican Mr Trump had the ability to "adapt after failure" and said there was a risk Mrs Clinton could become "cocky" after her assured performance.

The All Blacks are hot favourites to beat France in Sunday's final at Eden Park, but coach Graham Henry insisted that his team do not see it that way.
"Picking the same side that played so well against Australia wasn't a difficult decision," said Henry.
"We're not sure who's going to turn up. We have to prepare as if they're the best in the world."
The only change to the All Blacks 22 sees flanker Adam Thomson, who has recovered from an ankle knock, replace Victor Vito on the bench.
The excitement in New Zealand - already at fever pitch after the 20-6 defeat of the Wallabies in last Sunday's semi-final - has cranked up another notch in the last few days as the country's biggest sporting event in almost quarter of a century draws closer.
You don't deserve that title unless you earn it, but I think they're good enough
"We haven't this experienced before - it's finals football," added Henry.
"This is our 12th Test in 14 weeks, and I don't think that's ever happened before. It's been pretty manic, and constant rugby takes its toll on your body and mind.
"The word is that France have prepared well and that they're enjoying the underdogs tag, using it as ammunition. You [the media] are doing a good job for them.
"We think they're a very good rugby team with some outstanding players, and it's going to be very difficult.
"The French forward pack is as good as we've played in the competition. Their loose forwards are outstanding and they have backs who can bite you."
Scrum-half Piri Weepu, one of the stars of New Zealand's march to the final, admitted that the tension had built now that, in the words of his team-mate Israel Dagg, the final is "just two more sleeps" away.
"When you're a little kid in the back yard you're always pretending that you're playing for your country, scoring the winning try and kicking the winning penalty," said Weepu.
"If you take it too seriously you'll already have played the game in your head at the start of the week. You need to have a clear head on Sunday, because the more relaxed a state you are in the better game you play.
"I have never really experienced anything as big as this before. You can't wait to wake up on game day - you can feel buzz in the air and the excitement around town. You can feel the energy when you go down for breakfast and see the excitement on the faces of the boys."
The final is likely to be Henry's last game in charge of the All Blacks. Four years ago he was at the helm for the shock quarter-final loss to France, but he has cut a relaxed figure this month.
Asked what a World Cup win would mean to him, he said: "Peace. Internal peace. My mum's still alive - she's 95 now - and she'll be delighted when it finishes, because she thinks I'm under pressure. She doesn't understand I don't do much.
"My wife will be rejoicing. When you're close to people doing the job but not involved yourself, it can be a very difficult situation to be in.
"The people who are close to you will feel big relief when this World Cup is over. I have got two boys and a daughter and they were in Cardiff in 2007. They arrived on the Friday night before the finals [knock-out stages] and 24 hours later it was all over. The meeting of that group of people on the Sunday morning was a very emotional time.
"I am just hoping we can get together on Sunday night and things might be a bit different."
Henry added: "I might be tired, but the body's not sore. I've been with a lot of these guys for a long time - they have been the leading team in world, but they've never been world champions, and it would be marvellous to have that title.
"You don't deserve that title unless you earn it, but I think we're good enough."

Michael O'Neill's men had looked like ending a triumphant campaign with a win having led for most of the match through a Craig Cathcart header.
Defender Cathcart, 26, glanced in his first NI goal in the 31st minute after Niall McGinn had clipped in a cross.
Central defender Paulus Arajuuri got Finland's equaliser in the 87th minute.
It was a disappointing end for Northern Ireland, but they have finished top of a qualifying group for the first time, winning six of their 10 games.
They are the first fifth seeds to win a European Championship qualifying group.
The draw in Helsinki capped an unbelievable qualifying campaign.
Having managed a solitary victory in their World Cup 2014 group, Northern Ireland were in pot five when the draw was made in February 2012.
At the time, after discovering NI's Group F opponents, manager Michael O'Neill said: "You could possibly get third place with 14 points, which I think is achievable."
Instead, Northern Ireland have topped a group for the first time, winning three away from home
Before the campaign, NI had won only three away competitive matches in 13 years.
Northern Ireland did not seem to be suffering any ill-effects from the celebrations which followed Thursday's historic win over Greece in Belfast.
Michael O'Neill's men had the better chances in the first period and made the breakthrough just after the half-four mark.
Paddy McNair picked up possession after a fruitless corner and slipped the ball to McGinn in space on the right side of the penalty area.
The Aberdeen winger crossed to the near post and Cathcart, still forward from the set-piece, was there to flash a header across goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky.
Cathcart, deputising for the injured Jonny Evans, was making his 23rd international appearance.
The visitors waned after the interval and Finland had chances to equalise.
They eventually made one count, as Kasper Hamalainen cushioned a lovely header into the path of centre-back Arajuuri who netted a low finish.
It meant an anxious last few minutes for Northern Ireland, but they secured the point to win Group F.
Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill: "I think this group of players fully appreciate what they have achieved and go into Euro 2016 to really embrace and enjoy it. However, we also go there with a point to prove and not only be competitive but to excel and take as much from the tournament as we can.
"Of course I'm disappointed not to win the game but we're delighted to top the group and everyone in the dressing room feels exactly the same. We've certainly not got there by any good fortune.
"I genuinely believe we're the best team in the group, the most effective team in the group and we finished as top scorers too. The players deserve enormous credit for that."

The film has been been a box office success, a darling of the critics and a total awards magnet.
On Sunday, it won one of the top prizes at the Writers Guild of America (WGA) Awards, leaving writer and director Barry Jenkins wondering whether it's time to order a bigger trophy cabinet.
"This means the world to me," Jenkins said as he took to the stage to accept the award for best original screenplay.
"I can't say writing will get you on this stage but it will bring you close to the world."
Moonlight has become such a favourite among critics and award judges that some have quietly wondered whether it could cause a huge upset at the Oscars.
You're probably sick to the back teeth of everybody banging on about La La Land and how much of a dead-cert it is for best picture.
It may well still sweep the board, but Moonlight - a film about a black gay man growing up in poverty in Miami - is second favourite among most pundits and bookies.
According to Box Office Mojo, the film has so far taken more than $21m (£16.9m) in the US alone. It was released to British audiences this weekend and has so far taken £620,636 in the UK.
Its success is even more notable for the fact that the movie has no major stars in its leading roles.
Mahershala Ali has become something of a breakout star - and could potentially be the first Muslim to win an acting Oscar.
Could Moonlight win best picture?
The case for:
The case against:
Perhaps more important than Moonlight's box office performance is the huge amount of critical praise which has been heaped on it.
The film was released in the UK over the weekend and just about every critic was falling over themselves to declare it a masterpiece.
Well, nearly all critics. It's fair to say Camilla Long of The Sunday Times didn't take to it in quite the same way.
But, broadly speaking, reviewers liked it. And even Long gave it three stars, which could be a lot worse.
The film has a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 99% score on Metacritic - sites which tot up critical reviews.
Even if the film doesn't win best picture at the Oscars, it's still got a decent chance at going home with a couple of prizes.
Naomie Harris and Mahershala Ali are nominated in the supporting actor and actress categories.
The film is also up for best adapted screenplay - it was based on Tarell Alvin McCraney's autobiographical play In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue.
Then there are its nominations for best director, best cinematography, best original score and best film editing.
The Academy Awards take place this Sunday, 26 February.

Bamber is serving a whole life term for shooting his parents, sister and her six-year-old sons in Essex in 1985. He has always protested his innocence.
The "Bamber Bake-Off" has been launched to mark 30 years of "wrongful conviction" and share family recipes.
Charity Support After Murder and Manslaughter said it was disrespectful.
"If they want to campaign, that's fine, but don't do it in this way," said chief executive Rosie Dixon.
"Every time this case is brought up again it takes families back to the day it happened, even 30 years on."
Bamber, then aged 24, shot his family at their farmhouse in Tolleshunt D'Arcy in August 1985.
He has maintained his schizophrenic sister Sheila Caffell shot the family, including her sons Nicholas and Daniel, before turning the gun on herself.
His attempts at appeals through the legal system have all failed.
The Jeremy Bamber Official Website, run by his supporters, suggests bakers follow Jeremy's method then send photos of their creations to Bamber's Instagram page.
Recipes on the site include Victoria sponge, labelled as "mum's favourite", and Upside Down Pineapple Cake.
On his blog, he has reminisced about "the hours of fun and laughter" he shared in the kitchen with his mother and invited supporters to send pictures of their baking attempts to him at HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire.
More than 20 photographs of cakes have been posted to his Instagram page.
Campaigner Trudi Benjamin, who believes Bamber is innocent, said feedback from supporters had been positive.
"The Bamber Bake-Off reminds people that he had a loving family, who he was close to," she added.
"It reminds us that he is a human being who has lost loved ones, despite the media perception of him being some sort of monster."
Declan Gallagher, making his first start in his second spell at Livi following a prison term, opened the scoring with a thumping 50th-minute header but Peterhead equalised immediately when Nicky Riley timed his run perfectly to nod home.
The league leaders responded straight away with Liam Buchanan slotting in from an angle.
Danny Mullen then struck a post and the visitors were pegged back once again by Rory McAllister's close-range finish.
Buchanan, who had a first-half penalty saved, got on the end of a terrible back-pass and netted but was controversially flagged offside before Byrne had the last word with his 79th-minute strike.
Alloa Athletic moved up to second after coming from behind to beat Stranraer 2-1, Iain Flannigan and Jon Robertson scoring after Craig Thomson had headed the hosts ahead.
Albion Rovers and East Fife each claimed 1-0 home wins with Michael Dunlop scoring for Rovers against Brechin City, who dropped a place to fourth, and Scott Robinson netting for the Fifers in their meeting with Stenhousemuir.
At Hampden, Airdrieonians lost to Queen's Park and slipped to third with Ryan McGeever firing the winner for the Spiders in their 2-1 win. Gregor Fotheringham's shot had put them ahead before Airdrie levelled through Iain Russell's header.
Queen's Park are now a point below the play-off zone, while at the bottom Stenny remain two points adrift of Stranraer and four behind Peterhead.
The Addicks are bottom of the table and supporters have held protests in recent weeks aimed at Duchatelet and chief executive Katrien Meire.
"I have a lot of empathy for what they feel," the Belgian businessman told the South London Press.
"But the conclusion that I should sell is a bit too quick."
Duchatelet bought Charlton in January 2014, adding the south-east London side to his network of clubs around Europe - which includes teams in Belgium, Spain, Germany and Hungary.
A section of supporters have questioned the 69-year-old's motives and expressed their anger at the turnover of managers, the club's recruitment strategy and the role of Meire in running of the club.
Fans have formed a group called Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD), which has organised a series of protests at matches at The Valley.
"I fully understand that people are unhappy, so I don't take things personally, and I try to do something about it," Duchatelet added in a wide-ranging interview.
"I still believe we can make a big success out of this and that Charlton can regain importance in London.
"Two years in such an adventure is not a long period. I still feel I have the ability to be a very big asset to the club."
Duchatelet also defended Meire, describing the 31-year-old as possessing "a huge heart for Charlton", and said one of the reasons for appointing head coaches Bob Peeters, Guy Luzon and Karel Fraeye was their previous experience of working with young players.
Jose Riga was reappointed Charlton head coach last month - for his second spell in charge at The Valley under Duchatelet - and the club are currently four points from safety.

The three-time champions lacked urgency throughout the 90 minutes. They frequently looked rattled as an enterprising Algeria wasted a succession of chances in an open, exciting encounter, before Andre Schurrle finished from close range early in the first additional period.
Mesut Ozil drilled in to double their lead and, although Abdelmoumene Djabou volleyed home to ensure a frantic end, a relieved Germany held on and will take on the French in Rio on Friday.

The result looked inevitable once an impressive Algeria side began to tire, but Joachim Low's men will have to improve dramatically if they are to secure a first World Cup since 1990.
Germany are into the last eight for the 17th time in 18 World Cup appearances, but they lacked the fluency and cutting edge that has seen them installed among the tournament favourites.
Algeria could not mark their first experience of the knockout stage with a win, meaning Africa's representation in Brazil is over, but they depart with immense credit for a superb campaign.
"Germany played such a high line with little pace in defence, and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is incredible to sweep up after them. They flirt with danger and he gets them out of trouble.
"Has there ever been a better sweeper keeper? He reads things wonderfully well."
The build-up was dominated by talk of them seeking revenge for 1982, when West Germany's convenient 1-0 win against Austria saw them both reach the second round at Algeria's expense.
They beat the Germans in the group stage that year and looked determined to produce a repeat.
With a 5-1-3-1 formation and five changes to their starting line-up that saw playmaker Yacine Brahimi drop to the bench, the Desert Foxes appeared to be set up defensively.
But, after an early spell of German pressure, they went in search of a shock lead and almost found it.
Germany keeper Manuel Neuer made a vital challenge on Islam Slimani after Faouzi Ghoulam's ball up the left wing eluded Per Mertesacker, and it subsequently took an important tackle from the Arsenal centre-half to deny the same man.
Sofiane Feghouli then sliced through the Germany back line only to miscue his cross from a brilliant position, Slimani's diving header was correctly disallowed for offside and Ghoulam steamed through on the left but lashed his finish across goal and wide.
Germany eventually managed to exert an influence - Ozil's misdirected cross was tipped over the bar, Muller headed wide and keeper Rais Mbolhi spilled an Ozil drive - but Algeria refused to sit back and Mehdi Mostefa was the latest to come close with a strike that was deflected wide.
Mbolhi made a magnificent double save from Toni Kroos and Mario Gotze as Germany finished the half well, but it was no surprise when Gotze was replaced by Schurrle at the break.
The big question was whether Algeria would maintain their intensity or be punished for their missed chances and the answer nearly arrived when Schurrle's effort was deflected narrowly off target, before Shkodran Mustafi headed at Mbolhi and the goalkeeper pulled off a fine save from Philipp Lahm's shot.
Algeria responded by tightening up at the back and attempting to pounce on the counter-attack. Keeper Neuer was forced to operate as an auxiliary sweeper as Slimani escaped the German centre-backs, while Feghouli drilled wide and then Slimani lashed powerfully at Neuer.
At the other end, Mbolhi made another stunning stop from Muller's header while Esseid Belkalem and Ghoulam cleared off the line from Schurrle and Benedikt Hoewedes respectively.
Algeria were visibly tiring and after Muller and Bastian Schweinsteiger threatened a winner late in the 90 minutes, Schurrle finally broke the deadlock in the opening moments of extra time.
Muller crossed low from the left for the Chelsea forward to dispatch with an improvised finish. It was the 14th of Germany's last 24 World Cup goals that Muller has been involved it.
Ozil rammed in a second before substitute Djabou converted from Feghouli's cross, but there was no time to find another goal as Germany celebrated and Algeria made a tearful exit.
Algeria goalkeeper Rais Mbolhi:
"It's true we are part of Algeria football history, we went farther than any other team before.
"We have to build upon this performance for the future since we saw that Algeria is able to play on an equal footing at a very high level with other teams."

United led 1-0 in Belgium until the 86th minute, when the hosts equalised with their first effort on target.
"If I was a Manchester United defender, I would be very upset with the attacking players," Mourinho said.
"They did the serious work. The people who had to kill the game didn't."
Henrikh Mkhitaryan tapped in for United in the 36th minute, but it was the only successful effort of their 16 shots at goal.
The visitors' attack lags well behind the rest of their top-four rivals in the Premier League, having scored only 46 goals. Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal have all managed more than 60.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the team's top-scorer with 28 goals in all competitions, with Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata the only others in double figures.
"It is the same problem," added Mourinho. "We had control, we had chances, but we do not score enough goals.
"In my poor English, I cannot find a better word than sloppy. You have to play more seriously.
"Put the performance of two or three of our attacking players together and you squeeze not much juice out of it. Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Anthony Martial - they were very similar."
Phil, Cardiff: Last half an hour the whole United attack just walking around with no desire to break with pace and kill the game off. The fact that they seem to be happy with a 1-0 at Anderlecht says how far United have fallen. And they paid the price with poor finishing as usual this season.
Darragh, Belfast: Same old United this season we go one up and take the foot off the pedal, never look like we're gonna blow a team away! Not great for confidence with Chelsea on Sunday.
Chris Perez: You can spend as much money on a squad as possible but without time they will play as separate pieces of the jigsaw. Jose will make United great again.
The code will be made freely available for manufacturers who want to launch their own gaming hardware.
The announcement is the first of three due this week as Valve lays out what it calls the "future" of gaming.
The company is widely anticipated to launch its own machine to run SteamOS, believed to be called the Steam Box.
The console could potentially disrupt a market currently dominated by the Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Wii.
Ahead of a hardware reveal, Valve outlined its plans for the Linux-based operating system that will be available for download "soon".
"As we've been working on bringing Steam to the living room, we've come to the conclusion that the environment best suited to delivering value to customers is an operating system built around Steam itself," a message on Steam's website read.
"SteamOS combines the rock-solid architecture of Linux with a gaming experience built for the big screen."
Linux is a open-source operating system - meaning people can freely build-upon and adapt its source code.
Crucially, there are no licensing costs involved, so manufacturers can distribute Linux-powered machines more cheaply than those running systems such as Windows.
SteamOS will encompass Steam's already huge customer base, estimated to be about 50 million active users.
Steam is Valve's distribution service through which it sells both its own games and those of its various publishing partners.
It began life in 2002 as a way for Valve to make it easier for users to update games, but it now is a significant channel for selling titles - and is also used as a community tool for setting up multiplayer matches and other online events.
Valve does not release sales statistics for games sold through Steam - but estimates from consultancy IHS Screen Digest suggest it is responsible for 75% of PC game sales, bringing in about $1bn (£620m) in 2012.
There are more than 2,000 games on the service.
However, despite the service's popularity, it is currently reliant on something of a sinking ship, argued Computer and Video Games' associate editor Rob Crossley.
"Valve is a very successful growing company within a market that is shrinking," he told the BBC.
"PC sales are falling, falling, falling. They've been falling for five quarters in a row now.
"Valve knows that in order to expand in the future it needs to provide the same amount of services on different devices, and the living room is easily the best next step for them."
To this end, Valve has long sought to take Steam-powered gaming away from the PC.
In 2011, the company launched Big Picture mode, an interface designed for a games controller rather than the typical PC's keyboard and mouse, making it more suitable for use with TV screens.
The Steam Box, should it be announced later this week, is expected to enhance that effort further, possibly doing away with the traditional PC entirely.
Gabe Newell, Valve's co-founder, made his strategic intentions clear during a speech at a Linux developer's event last week.
He envisioned an environment where gaming moves with the user, whether they are playing at their PC, in their living room or on the move.
"Right now, you're sort of in this bizarre situation where as soon as you sit on your couch, you're supposed to have lost connection with all of your other computing platforms," he told delegates.
"We really don't think the fragmentation around the physical location or around the input devices in terms of computation is necessary or desirable for software developers or consumers."
Piers Harding-Rolls, from IHS Screen Digest, said he believed this kind of gaming would be popular in the future - but that the Steam Box could be somewhat ahead of its time, and Valve's greenness in the living room market could see it trip up.
"Valve has little experience in commercialising consumer hardware - it's inevitable that it will make mistakes along the way," he told the BBC.
"While Valve has experimented with bringing games to a more TV-friendly user interface with its Big Picture mode, many PC games will not translate effectively to console controllers so this remains a challenge to overcome."
But he added that the concept behind Steam Box could could be a "highly disruptive" force in the future.

In a speech to pro-government lawyers, Ms Rousseff said Brazilian democracy was under attack.
"I have committed no irregularity. I will never resign," she said.
Opposition lawmakers are seeking to remove her over allegations that she manipulated government accounts to hide a growing deficit.
Ms Rousseff, a former political prisoner during Brazil's military government, began her second term in office 14 months ago.
But her popularity has plummeted amid corruption allegations surrounding senior members of the governing Workers' Party.
The speaker of the lower house of Congress, Eduardo Cunha, agreed in December to open impeachment proceedings against her.
"There is just one name for that - a coup," said Ms Rousseff.
"I want tolerance, dialogue and peace. And that will only be possible if democracy is preserved," she said.
Brazilian democracy was restored in 1985, 21 years after the military coup that deposed the left-wing government of Joao Goulart.
The Workers' Party has been in power since Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was sworn in for his first term in 2003.
Government supporters say the opposition did not accept the results of the 2014 election, in which Ms Rousseff was re-elected for another four-year term, and are trying to remove her by undemocratic means.
Last week, Ms Rousseff suffered another blow when a move to appoint Lula as her chief of staff was blocked by a federal judge.
The government appealed against the decision, but it was later confirmed by a Supreme Court judge. The court is expected to issue a final ruling by the end of the month.
Ms Rousseff had been accused by opposition figures of appointing Lula to shield him from charges of money-laundering which he denies.
The leftist former leader is being investigated for alleged involvement in major corruption at state-owned oil company Petrobras.
Under Brazilian law, cabinet members can be investigated only by the Supreme Court.
During a pro-government demonstration on Saturday, Lula said he was joining the government to help the country and said Brazil, which is in its worst recession in decades, needed to resume growth.
"There will not be a coup against Ms Rousseff," he told cheering supporters.
"Democracy is the only way to allow people to participate in government's decisions," added the former leader.
Lula says he will run for president again in 2018.
A study in Norway has examined the relationship between pollen levels, hay fever and exam performance.
It suggests rising pollen levels are linked to a decrease in results for hay fever sufferers.
Report author Simon Sobstad Bensnes said students could be "unfairly barred" from getting into university.
The study, from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, examined the impact on hay fever sufferers of taking exams at a time of year when pollen levels are higher.
Using the results of public exams in Norway over three years, researchers found that on days with high pollen levels exam performance was consistently lower.
A rise in pollen levels was linked to a standard deviation of 2.5% below what might have been expected.
Assuming students without hay fever were not affected, this suggested that for students with an allergic reaction there was a standard deviation of 10% below what might have been expected.
Mr Bensnes says that in terms of exam grades, it represented a 3% decrease for pupils with hay fever.
The report, presented at the European Economic Association conference in Mannheim in Germany, says hay fever sufferers could be missing out on the grades needed for university and for jobs.
"Increases in pollen counts can temporarily reduce cognitive abilities for allergic students, who will score worse relative to their peers on high stake exams, and consequently be at a disadvantage when competing for jobs or higher education," says the report.
The study says that the negative impact shown in exam results would be likely to apply to other settings, such as the workplace, where it could lower productivity.
About one in five people are estimated to suffer from hay fever - and the study says that this could be higher among young people, with suggestions that a quarter of young people in Norway are allergic to some extent.
In England's exam system, pupils who have had serious problems with hay fever on an exam day could ask for this to be taken into account by examiners.
The report author says it raises questions about holding exams in the spring and the early summer, when sufferers are most likely to be affected.
"Holding high-stakes exams during pollen season has a large negative effect on allergic students, who are subsequently unfairly barred from enrolling in the most prestigious universities," says Mr Bensnes.
Adherents of the Carthusian order avoid contact with the outside world, the better to focus on contemplation and prayer.
But this other-worldly setting is the birthplace of a very worldly product, Chartreuse - a strong alcoholic liqueur made from a recipe said to have been given to the Carthusians in 1605.
The monks of Grande Chartreuse are not alone in these sorts of endeavours.
Religious orders have long produced alcohol (think beer from Trappist monks or tonic wine from Buckfast Abbey) for economic and medicinal reasons.
And some of these products have never been so popular. In an era when the provenance of food and drink is increasingly important, a drink with such distinctive roots carries a certain prestige.
The Chartreuse brand sold 1.5 million bottles worldwide in 2015, selling for about €50 (£44) a bottle, and with all profits going to support the order and its charity projects.
Chartreuse is made from 130 plants, herbs and flowers. But the recipe is tightly controlled, with most of the monks kept in the dark about the exact ingredients and the ageing process of the drink.
Just three monks make the plant mixture, which is delivered to the distillery in plain packaging so the ingredients cannot be identified by employees from outside the monastery who help with production.
Monastery guide Mathilde Perrin says that outsiders "know really very little about the production". Since the operation is owned by the monks, they "do what they want and they're not obliged to tell anyone what they're doing," she says.
Based at Voiron, a village near Grenoble, the distillery is about 15 miles from the monastery at Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse.
The first distillery, built in 1840, was at the monastery itself. But as production expanded, the noise and commotion disturbed the monks' contemplative way of life.
The operation moved to several sites over subsequent decades, and will move again in 2018.
Due to the amount of alcohol vapour, the distillery was deemed a safety hazard, and so will relocate to a more remote site.
"The government calculated that if something exploded, we would be capable of blowing up all of Voiron," says Ms Perrin.
Although a handful of people work at the distillery, the monks control the operation remotely from the monastery, using computers to adjust temperatures during production and even shut down the process if necessary.
You'll also find a mixture of old and the new technology at Andechs Abbey, south-west of Munich, where Benedictine monks have brewed their namesake beer since 1455.
Under Benedict's doctrine, followers are encouraged to complete tasks in a slow and steady manner. Saint Benedict didn't have anything to say about producing beer - but his doctrine makes an ideal approach to brewing.
"You can't make things happen faster while brewing or living as a monk," says Mr Martin Glaab, head of public relations. "We are convinced that the monastic beer tradition needs time to create a high quality product."
Service to others is another important tenet of the Benedictine tradition, including hosting pilgrims. As more religious travellers arrived, the monks needed to provide for them, which Mr Glaab calls "the very origin of the Andechs brewing tradition".
The monastery now receives a million visitors each year.
With 100,000 hectolitres of beer sold each year, a pint of Andechs pale ale retails for €4 at the monastery restaurant. As at Chartreuse, profits at Andechs support the order and charitable work.
What's behind the increasing popularity of such drinks?
Beth Bloom, a food and drink analyst at global market research group Mintel, says it's about consumers' growing interest in the origins of food and drink, and suspicion of industrialised production processes.
She says: "One of the things that would resonate with these monastic drinks is their source - their makers. There is this interest in craft, and artisan, and where [the product] is coming from; techniques that have gone into it.
"A desire for a more authentic experience comes into play here," she says. "Beer being brewed in a monastery with years and years of heritage probably really resonates and appears as a specialty product. That is something consumers would like to take part in."
Some religious orders have even moved beyond alcohol, to what might be called more modern products.
On a farm in Merced, California, nuns from the Sisters of the Valley, show their devotion to healing through medicinal products made from their own marijuana crop.
Sister Kate Meeusen founded the non-aligned religious order in 2015. While dressed in Catholic habits, the group's spiritual practices are derived from what they call "ancient wisdom".
"We ask ourselves, 'what would our ancient mothers do?' when we have dilemmas or decisions to make. That's our guiding principle," explains Ms Meeusen.
The group's beliefs form the core of their business practices. Production follows the lunar cycle. The women pray and meditate while preparing the recipes in the abbey kitchen.
The end results are not intoxicating, however, as they are made from cannabidiol (CBD). Since the compound contains no psychoactive properties, products are classified as hemp, legal for sale and export internationally.
Ranging from $85 (£65) to $95 (£73) per item, customers can purchase their CBD oil, salve, or tincture online. In 2015, the turnover was $60,000 (£46,278), with profits paying for salaries and the farm's upkeep.
Given the source product used, there were attempts by local authorities to get the nuns to move operations elsewhere, something that Ms Meeusen has resisted "head on", she says.
The operation may not yet have the history or cultural significance of a Trappist beer from Belgium - but it has devoted supporters.
Javier Sanchez, a user of CBD oil and tincture for health problems, says: "There are a lot of things in this world that could offend you, but I don't think this is one to be offended about."
Birmingham officer Amar Tasaddiq Hussain, 29, was charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office.
He was also charged with two counts of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and has been suspended from duty with immediate effect.
Adil Bashir and Muhammad Sheikh have been charged with the same offences.
Police said they were given "false and malicious information" suggesting an officer was to "be kidnapped as part of a terrorist plot" on 8 December last year.
The force was put on high alert because of the hoax.
Mr Hussain, Mr Bashir, 25, from Small Heath, and Mr Sheikh, 30, from Bordesley Green, have been released on bail.
They are due to appear at Cannock Magistrates' Court on 7 October.
Mr Hussain works for the force's Birmingham West and Central Police Unit.
She went to hospital in New York City on the advice of her doctor on Friday evening.
Sean Lennon and her spokesperson were quick to quash reports that she had suffered a stroke, saying that she was only experiencing "flu-like symptoms".
"She's home and running about as usual. Just the flu in the end," Sean tweeted on Saturday evening.
Ono, 83, was married to former Beatle John Lennon until he was murdered in 1980 outside New York's Dakota Building, where she still lives.
An ambulance was called to the building at 21:00 on Friday (02:00 GMT Saturday), a Fire Department spokesman said.
Ono spent the night in Mount Sinai Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan.
Dr Dan Poulter met MPs Andy Sawford, Philip Hollobone and Peter Bone at Kettering General Hospital on Thursday.
The MPs told him the hospital's A&E was designed for 20,000 patients a year but last year 80,000 came for treatment.
This population growth had made it "unfit for purpose" and also stretched other hospital services, they said.
The minister said he would look at a proposal from the hospital and clinical commissioning group backed by the MPs if it was submitted later this year.
Labour MP Mr Sawford, speaking for the other two who were Conservatives, said it was a worthwhile meeting and they had put across to the minister that the Kettering Hospital A&E was no longer fit for purpose because of the growth in the local population.
He said the cross-party group had set to one side their differing views on the health service and the national debate to take a realistic local view.
"We just want Kettering Hospital to be treated like others such as Southend or Alder Hey which got money from Treasury coffers," he said.
"But we have to bring together the hospital and the clinical commissioning group to make a joint bid for funding.
"The minister has said he would look at it later this year.
"We are not looking for a massive new building but additional funding for A&E and other services which are suffering."
Experts found 15 skeletons during the excavation of a Roman road at Ipplepen, near Exeter.
Tests on one of the skeletons showed the settlement was in use up to 350 years after the Roman period ended, which has surprised experts.
Archaeologists said the discoveries were both nationally and regionally important.
Danielle Wootton, from the Portable Antiquities Scheme, said: "As the excavation progressed, it became clear that we were dealing with one of the most significant Romano-British cemeteries discovered in Devon and that it had huge potential to develop our understanding of settlements and how people lived in the South West 2,000 years ago."
The Romans invaded Britain in 43 AD and their reign ended in about 410 AD.
Ms Wootton said the discovery of a body from up to 350 years after they left "suggests continuation of the settlement after the Roman period and shows that life carried on at Ipplepen rather than falling out of use."
The team, from the University of Exeter, hopes further research will more about the ages of those who died, along with the diets and diseases they had.
Bill Horner, county archaeologist, said: "This is one of the most important discoveries in Devon in recent years.
"The concentration and range of finds and archaeological features is really exciting."
The Ipplepen project is supported by the University of Exeter, the Portable Antiquities Scheme, the British Museum and Devon County Council.
The Robins had been reduced to 10 men in the 66th minute when Daniel O'Shaughnessy was sent off for a second yellow card.
Terry Gornell headed home for Stanley in the 74th minute but they could not hold on.
There were not a lot of chances in the game, with the Robins having to shuffle their line-up after five minutes when new signing Alex Cooper hobbled off.
The major talking point of the first half was a late tackle by Cheltenham's Harry Pell on Matty Pearson in front of the dug-outs which saw management and players involved in the aftermath - Pell and team-mate Dickie were booked.
The first real save of the match did not come until the 37th minute with Cheltenham goalkeeper Russell Griffiths keeping out a Romy Boco header.
O'Shaughnessy saw red and then ex-Cheltenham striker Gornell capitalised, heading home Boco's cross for his fourth goal of the campaign.
Stanley looked like they would hold on but then, in the final minute, Danny Wright's header was saved superbly by Aaron Chapman but he could not stop Dickie's follow-up.

Ms Woolf is a City lawyer and former president of the Law Society.
She will head an inquiry panel including child abuse experts and at least one victim of abuse.
Retired judge Baroness Butler-Sloss quit as head of the inquiry in July, saying she was "not the right person" for the job.
She stood down after child abuse victims raised concerns that she is the sister of the late Sir Michael Havers, who was attorney-general in the 1980s when abuse is alleged to have happened.
The inquiry, which was set up in July, was prompted by allegations that figures in Westminster and Whitehall were implicated in covering up child sex abuse, and that police and other authorities did not properly investigate prominent offenders such as Jimmy Savile and Cyril Smith.
Announcing Ms Woolf's appointment, Home Secretary Theresa May said: "In recent years, we have seen appalling cases of organised and persistent child sex abuse which have exposed serious failings by public bodies and important institutions.
"These failings have sent shockwaves through the country and shaken public confidence in the pillars of society in which we should have total trust.
"That is why the government has announced that an independent panel of experts will consider whether such organisations have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse.
"We are absolutely clear that we must learn the lessons of past failures and the panel will be instrumental in helping us to do this."
Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper welcomed the fact that the inquiry was "finally moving forward".
But she added: "We still have no terms of reference for the inquiry and have had no assurances that it will look into current gaps that exist in the child protection system, as well as historical institutional failure.
"We now need urgent answers on both these issues."
Ms Woolf, 66, is an expert in energy markets and has advised many governments and the World Bank on privatisation and energy reforms.
As the Lord Mayor of London, she acts as ambassador for the City of London and Britain's financial services industry around the world.
She said: "Ensuring lessons are learned from the mistakes which have been made in the past and resulted in children being subjected to the most horrific crimes is a vital and solemn undertaking.
"I was honoured to be approached to lead such an important inquiry and look forward to working with the panel to ensure these mistakes are identified and never repeated."
She will be assisted as head of the inquiry by Graham Wilmer, a child sexual abuse victim and founder of the Lantern Project, which helps victims of sex abuse, and Barbara Hearn, former deputy chief executive of the National Children's Bureau.
Prof Alexis Jay, author of the recent report into abuse in Rotherham, will act as an expert adviser to the panel, said the Home Office.
Their first tasks are to finalise membership of the panel and agree terms of reference for the inquiry, said the Home Office in a statement.
Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk, who led calls for an overarching inquiry into alleged abuse, backed the appointment of Ms Woolf but called on her to bring "a sense of urgency" to the investigation.
He said the inquiry had lost momentum due to delays after the resignation of Lady Butler-Sloss.
"I'm pleased the Home Secretary has finally got this moving," said the Labour MP.
"Although I would not have looked to high office in the Square Mile to find someone to challenge the establishment, Fiona Woolf is a smart and capable woman and she has my support.
"Britain is in the middle of a child abuse crisis and this inquiry has to be a watershed. It must go to the heart of the establishment and challenge why crimes have been swept under the carpet for so long."
Mr Danczuk added that there was "no time to lose", as some alleged abusers were now very elderly and could die before facing justice.
Matthew Reed, chief executive of the Children's Society, echoed Mr Danczuk's call for no further delays to the inquiry but said it must be "thorough and comprehensive" and the voices of victims must be heard.
"This is a critical opportunity to eliminate the obstacles that have denied these children justice in the past and to stop this horrific crime from happening again," he added.

He says 2015 could be as challenging.
In an interview with BBC 5 live's Wake Up to Money, broadcast on Wednesday, he said discount grocers have had a striking impact on retailing.
Analysts Kantar Worldpanel say Aldi and Lidl have reached a record combined market share of 8.6% of all shopping done at major UK grocery chains.
Their rise has come at the expense of the "Big Four" supermarkets, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons.
"The level of profitability decline in some retailers over the course of 2014 - we've never seen it before," said Mr Clarke. "It suggests 2015 is going to be equally as challenging."
Although Asda has suffered less than rivals such as Tesco from the rise of the discounters, its market share fell 1% in the three months to December according to Kantar Worldpanel.
The discounters are planning to make bigger inroads into the UK this year.
So confident are they that Danish discounter Netto is returning to the UK after a 4 year absence.
Interestingly, the company is being partnered by Sainsbury, in what some see as a "can't beat them, join them" move.
Established Aldi is on a major expansion drive, with plans to create 35,000 new jobs in the UK and to almost double its total number of stores to 1,000 by 2022.
The former UK managing director of Aldi, Paul Foley, told Wake Up to Money the rise of the discounters was "unstoppable."
"The golden age of food retail profits by big, very successful, very well run businesses is over and discounters are the disrupters."
Mr Foley said the discounters were likely to grow to take a 20% market share.
Morrisons has been hit hard by the rise of Aldi and Lidl. It reported a 6.3% fall in sales in the three months to November and a fall in half year profits of just over 30%.
In October the supermarket responded with the launch of Match & More, a loyalty card that matches prices against Aldi and Lidl, as well as the Big Four.
Morrisons' Group Marketing Director Nick Collard told Wake Up to Money that customer behaviour had "really changed".
"The number one driver of store choice used to be convenience - it's absolutely now about price.
"We still have the same relative number of customers, they're just shopping slightly less frequently and buying slightly less."
The bitter supermarket price war has forced the grocery market into deflation. According to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics food prices have fallen by 1.7%.
Kantar Worldpanel reported that the value of UK grocery sales fell for the first time in two decades in November.
Supermarket expert and Loyalty Magazine editor Annich McIntosh, says the changes the industry is experiencing are profound.
"This modern shopper is unlike any we've known before - a person with a mobile phone who can compare prices instantly.
"There are a lot of very worried executives of food stores out there."
Global Research Director at analysts Planet Retail, Natalie Berg describes the rise of the discounters as part of "a perfect storm".
"I think there's been a real shift just in the past 18 months.
"Shoppers are generally more accepting of the discounters. They view it as a badge of honour and they're happy to shop those own brands"
"On top of the shift in mindset the discounters have significantly upped their game."
Despite the threats, Asda Chief Executive Andy Clarke sees grounds for optimism.
"Kwik Save had a place in this market for a good period of time and it disappeared from the landscape.
"I'm not suggesting that's going to be the case with the current discounters but they are a retail format that's been in this country for a good period of time."
"They're a very different shopping experience. They've got roughly 10% of the product range of a superstore."
But Mr Clarke had this warning: "The discounters will grow and there will be winners and losers."
Former Aldi UK boss Paul Foley is bullish about the German retailers' prospects. "The game's only half over."
Mark Price, the managing director of Waitrose, is also upbeat.
The high-end supermarket has grown market share, and said discounters aren't having an impact on sales.
Mr Price had this advice for Waitrose's rivals: "Be very clear with your customers what you stand for.
"The ones that do that well will do extraordinarily well and they'll survive. The ones that do it less well will find the going tougher."

Saturday's "Bare with us" march took place in Waterloo, Ontario. The women say that police told them to cover up whilst cycling in the neighbouring town of Kitchener last month.
They have filed a formal complaint with the police.
It is legal for women to be topless in Ontario after a court ruling in 1996.
Protestors held signs that included the slogans "They are boobs not bombs, chill out" and "Nudity isn't sexual."
The three sisters, Tameera, Nadia and Alysha Mohamed, say that they took their shirts off because it was a hot summer day.
However, they allege that a police officer approached them and told them to cover up. But when they challenged this, the officer said he was stopping them for bike safety reasons.
One of the sisters is an award nominated Canadian singer under her stage name Alysha Brilla.
"I had no idea how polarizing the issue would be. I thought people wouldn't be so disturbed by the female breast," she told CBC news.
"We just want to advocate and let people know that they do have this right," the singer added.
Ontario passed legislation confirming the right of women to go topless in 1996, after the Ontario Court of Appeal overturned a woman's conviction for removing her shirt.
Gwen Jacobs had been fined in 1991, but on appeal the court found that there was "nothing degrading or dehumanising" about her going topless in public.
The AA said the average comprehensive motor insurance figure was £531 at the start of 2014.
This was 5.6% down on the last three months of 2013 and 16.6% down on the figure for the same period last year.
The figure for third party, fire and theft was £725, down 8.4% on the past three months and 18.5% on last year.
The AA said this policy was higher than comprehensive insurance because it is typically taken out by people aged between 17-22 who have to pay the most for comprehensive insurance.
Young drivers did however experience the biggest fall in premiums in the first part of this year, coming down by a fifth; while the smallest movement was for those aged over 70 whose premium went down 7%.
The age bracket which pays the cheapest comprehensive insurance was those aged 60-69, with an average of £299.81.
The figures also show that north-west of England saw the biggest fall at 21% compared with East Anglia with the least at 13%.
However, the AA warned that the downward trend could be under threat.
AA insurance director Simon Douglas said: "Legal reforms introduced by the justice ministry to curb organised attempts at whiplash injury fraud coupled with better fraud detection by insurers have also certainly helped put downward pressure on premiums.
Source: The AA
"But despite this there is no evidence that this is delivering any significant reduction in the number and value of personal injury claims."
He added: "I do expect premiums to start rising again this year unless the fraud issue can be dealt with.
"If not, it's likely to be young drivers, those with a poor claims history or those in localities where there are frequent claims who will find it most difficult to obtain competitive cover."
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said: "We are turning the tide on the compensation culture and doing our bit to help drivers with the cost of running a car.
"We have made major law changes which have been a significant factor in these record falls in car insurance premiums.
"But we want to do more, and we are now going after the fraudsters who force up the costs for everyone else."

Two penalty corner strikes from Mark Gleghorne gave England the perfect start.
And before half-time, they had doubled that lead through a deflected Chris Griffiths strike and Sam Ward's drag flick from a penalty corner.
David Condon turned in Phil Roper's pass for the fifth and Ward added his second to round off the victory.
England men face Germany on Monday and Ireland on Wednesday; victory in either of their next two games would see them progress to the semi-finals.
The women take on 17th-ranked Scotland, who drew 0-0 with Ireland, on Tuesday at 11.30 BST. A point from the game would see England into the last four.
President Mahamadou Issoufou told French media that security was being tightened at the Arlit mine after the recent hostage crisis in Algeria.
French company Areva plays a major part in mining in Niger - the world's fifth-largest producer of uranium.
Islamist militants kidnapped five French workers from the mine in Arlit three years ago.
Four of them are still being held - along with three other French hostages - and it is believed they could be in the north of Mali close to where French troops are battling al-Qaeda-linked militants.
Asked if he could confirm that French special forces were guarding the uranium mine, President Issoufou told channel TV5: "Absolutely I can confirm.
"We decided, especially in light of what happened in Algeria... not to take risks and strengthen the protection of mining sites," he added.
France's Agence France-Presse news agency said a dozen French special forces reservists were strengthening security at the site.
Areva gets much of its uranium from the two mines it operates in the country, at Arlit and Imouraren.
Last month, at least 37 foreign workers were killed when Islamist militants seized a gas plant at In Amenas, eastern Algeria.
Connery played past-his-best boxer Malcolm "Mountain" McClintock in the 1957 play Requiem for a Heavyweight, which was broadcast live on the BBC.
Director Alvin Rakoff recorded the play for posterity and stored it in his attic where it remained for 55 years.
"He was tall, good-looking and had charisma from the start," he said.
Connery "was an extra" at the time, said Rakoff. "One of those guys who rang every other day and asked: 'Do you have any work for me?'
"I did a show called The Condemned, in which he played four of five parts for me - one was an old man who had been in prison for a long time and had gone a bit bonkers.
"I tried to get one of the other extras to do it and he wasn't quite right and Sean said: 'I can have a go at that, Al'."
Requiem for a Heavyweight was written for US television in 1956 by The Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling and starred Jack Palance in the lead role. The play won a Peabody Award.
Rakoff said it was his future wife, Doctor Who actress Jacqueline Hill - who he had cast in the BBC adaptation, who convinced him to cast Connery in the Palance role of a boxer who is told that he can no longer fight for health reasons.
He told BBC News: "I got a call from his [Palance's] agent who said: 'Jack ain't gonna show'. Something better had come up and he didn't want to come to England.
"She [Jacqueline] said, 'Have you seen Sean?... the ladies will like him', which was quite a remarkable statement but it was true, women adored him and so I called him and narrowed it to two fellows and Sean got it."
Because the play was broadcast live and no recording was made, it had been thought the performance was lost until Rakoff, 87, remembered the recording he had made during a recent interview and found it gathering dust in his London home.
Speaking on his decision more than 50 years ago to make the recording, he said: "I had suddenly thought: 'Maybe this is an important piece,' and I spoke to the man in the sound booth and asked him to do a reel-to-reel so he had an audio recording, and he did."
The British version was screened on 31 March 1957 on the BBC's Sunday Night Theatre anthology and co-starred Till Death Do Us part actor Warren Mitchell and another young actor by the name of Michael Caine.
"It went out on American television so there were commercial breaks and on the BBC there weren't any and Sean had a big costume change and I rang Rod and said we needed a new scene just to let him change.
"He said, rather nonchalantly, 'I hear you can write Alvin, you write it'.
"I cast two actors as has-been boxers who were struggling and Michael Caine was one of them. People in rehearsals watched the little scene and said: 'That guy's going to go far'."
The crackly recording of Requiem for a Heavyweight features Connery's unmistakably Scottish burr despite the character being written as an American.
Rakoff said: "We worked hard and long on the accent, he was trying but couldn't get rid of some of the Scottish-ness and in fact Michael Barry, who was the head of drama at the time came to rehearsals and he said: 'Are you sure you want to go ahead with this guy, I don't think he can do it'.
"I said: 'Michael I can assure you he can do it'."
In 1962, Connery became a household name when he played James Bond in his first big screen outing Dr No and would go on to become one of the biggest film stars of the 20th Century.
Now in his 80s, Rakoff is still working and has just written the conspiracy thriller The Seven Einsteins.
Strikingly obvious, really. Think of your own budgeting. The chancellor, though, only lays out how he's going to raise money - generally through tax but also borrowing - and what he's going to spend it on, once a year (usually). In the past few decades this has also involved commitments to future years. Many of us, of course, don't bother laying out our budgets, the salary and bills seem to take care of themselves. He has to make a Budget by law as certain taxes have to be approved each year by parliament.
We've already had one this year, but after a new government is elected, the chancellor, even if it is the same one, traditionally announces another one. This year, because the Conservatives no longer have to worry about what their former Liberal Democrat coalition partners think, they are free to spend the nation's money how they want. Like after divorce. Except they get to keep all the assets, the income, and, oh yes, the debts.
Other countries call them finance ministers. Thomas Cromwell, Sir Robert Peel, creator of the police, and Sir Winston Churchill are former holders of the post. Chancellor just means official in Latin, roughly speaking. So that's boring. Exchequer is better. It refers to a special cloth that was used to place counters on. It looked like a chess board.
There have been arguments about this. Is it rising or falling? National debt - household and governments - in total, is rising. There's also debt as a percentage of the whole economy. That falls when the economy grows faster than that pile of debt. Like you've increased your mortgage but your property's value has gone up by more. In 2014-15, net UK debt stood at almost £1.5 trillion.
The gap between income and spending. Simply, shrinking the deficit means either raising taxes or cutting spending. It is sometimes called the country's overdraft. A concept some think is fatuous as unlike households, governments can keep rolling over the debt for years, and inflation, still a usually occurring phenomenon, erodes it. The next generation does not have to wipe out the previous one's debts, as it does in a family.
Excise duty. Like VAT it is an indirect tax applied within a country to goods or services. Unlike VAT, which is charged at 20% of the sale price, it is often a flat amount levied to each item. It is applied commonly to tobacco, alcohol, gambling - and fuel. The fuel duty is the reason why motorists fume when oil prices fall yet petrol prices do not. That and VAT make up 65% of the price. It has been as much as 80%. Governments raise most excise duties in line with inflation. Fuel price rises though tend to annoy the electorate more than just about anything. Most Budgets have either cancelled or deferred increasing it in line with inflation.
The rate of income tax people pay depends on how much they earn: the higher their income, the higher rate of tax. In expanding economies, people's earnings are more likely to increase. In some cases, those people will cross an earnings threshold and find themselves paying a higher rate of tax. If this is widespread, it can act as a brake on how the economy expands, as people have less money to spend. However, it can also be seen as something that stops inflation rising too quickly.
Different rates of income tax are paid on different parts of incomes. People pay nothing on the first £10,600 that they earn. They pay 20% on anything between that and the next £31,785. After that it is 40% on anything higher until you get to an income of more than £150,000. Earnings above £150,000 are taxed at 45%. The "threshold" refers to the barrier between the tax rates. So once someone edges over a threshold, they pay tax at a higher rate on anything they earn above that level. Not, as some think, suddenly on the whole amount, meaning if you're approaching a pay rise that takes you into a higher tax band, you needn't worry you will actually take home less.
Bank levy. Effectively another tax; introduced in 2011 it is charged on the amount of debt held by all UK banks. Initially brought in at the sliver rate of 0.05% it has been quadrupled in that short time to 0.21%. That is too much for some. Analysts cite it as one of the reasons HSBC, which makes the bulk of its profits abroad but is based here and taxed here, wants to move its business base elsewhere. The levy raised more than £2bn last year, of which about a third came from HSBC alone.
The OBR was created in 2010 to provide independent and authoritative analysis of the UK's public finances. It has five main roles: producing five year forecasts; judging the government's performance against fiscal targets; scrutinising the Treasury's costing of tax; assessing sustainability of public finances; and assessing the government's performance against the welfare cap.
The government allows every taxpayer to earn a certain amount before they start paying tax - the personal allowance. It sets a threshold below which people don't pay income tax. Bear in mind that people may earn below this threshold and still pay other types of tax (for instance, national insurance contributions, which raise a lot of the total tax take). In 2015-16, the UK personal allowance is £10,600.
The structural deficit is a relatively new concept. It is basically the current budget deficit adjusted to strip out the cyclical nature of the economy. You would expect, for example, the budget deficit to get smaller when the economy grows. In other words, it's the underlying deficit that is not directly affected by general economic conditions.
Possibly the biggest political potato of this Budget. There are two types: Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. They are paid to more than four million people who may be eligible if they earn less than £33,000 a year. The taxpayer spends some £30bn a year on them. Formerly barely mentioned, now that the government is planning to cut another £12bn from welfare spending, they are firmly in the spotlight. They were designed to make it worthwhile for people to come off unemployment benefits - even for more low-paid jobs. One argument in favour is that it is better to have people in work, even if that is subsidised to some extent. But some argue that they subsidise low wages, and therefore business profits. The government has begun saying that if these were cut, business would pay more to make up the shortfall.
This is a term used to describe protections for increases in the state pension. Under the triple-lock scheme, the government promises to lift pensions by whatever is the highest out of: inflation, increases in average earnings or 2.5%. It guarantees that pensioners would see their pensions go up even if inflation is low.

Arlene Foster campaigned for Brexit but the UUP accused her of a "U-turn" after she signed a joint letter to the prime minister outlining several concerns.
Mrs Foster said the UUP had set up Steven Aiken as its "attack dog" but said he was more like a Chihuahua.
He snapped back that Chihuahuas were "small but intelligent and ferocious".
The snarling match began on Wednesday, when Mrs Foster and Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness jointly wrote to Prime Minister Theresa May, outlining their priorities for the Brexit negotiations.
Mrs Foster's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Mr McGuinness from Sinn Féin were on opposite sides of the debate during the EU referendum campaign.
Their joint letter identified five key areas of concern when the UK leaves the European Union - the Irish border; trading costs; the energy market; drawdown of EU funding and treatment of the agri-food sector.
After the letter's contents were revealed, rival unionist parties accused the DUP of shifting their position.
Mr Aiken, the UUP's economy spokesperson, said he was "astonished the first ministers would have the audacity to release this letter".
"These are all concerns that existed before the referendum," he added.
"Indeed given the content of the letter I would question whether this is a DUP u-turn on their position on the referendum after the vote has taken place?"
Mr Aiken said that Stormont's Executive Office was "quickly becoming the Department for Stating the Obvious".
But Mrs Foster denied that campaigning for Brexit was a mistake and said leading the EU provided opportunities as well as challenges.
"Poor Steven Aiken has been sent out once again to be the attack dog against the executive and frankly, he comes across more as a Chihuahua," she told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
Responding on his Twitter account, Mr Aiken snapped back that it was the first time he had "ever been compared to small but intelligent and ferocious Mexican attack dog".
His UUP colleague Stephen Nicholl tweeted a photo of an angry Chihuahua and said Mr Aiken had become their party's "new mascot".
The animal antics continued when Claire Hanna from the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) weighed in to criticise the DUP leader over the letter.
"The first minister has serious questions to answer over the breath-taking reverse ferret she is currently performing," said the SDLP MLA.
"Ms Foster has clearly realised the error of her ways in backing Brexit and, now the horse has bolted, is asking the Conservative government to close the gate."
Nidhi Chaphekar, 40, suffered burns and fractured her foot in the explosion.
A photograph of Ms Chaphekar taken moments after the blast has become an iconic image of the attacks.
The attacks at Zaventem airport and Maelbeek metro left 31 people dead and about 300 wounded.
The so-called Islamic State (IS) group has said it carried out the attacks.
Ms Chaphekar was one of the two Indian crew members of a Jet Airways flight bound for Newark in the US who were injured in the blast.
Her husband, who flew from Mumbai to Paris and travelled by road to Brussels, has reached the hospital, reports say.
Jet Airways denied unconfirmed reports in Indian media on Friday, which said Ms Chaphekar had been "placed in coma" at the hospital near Brussels.
"The doctor has confirmed that Nidhi is in stable condition and not in a coma,'' the company said in a statement.
"She is resting and under sedation for her comfort."
Ms Chaphekar's photograph - taken by Ketevan Kardava, a journalist with the Georgian Public Broadcaster network - was widely shared around the world on social media sites with the #PrayForNidhi hashtag.
The picture shows her sitting bloodied and dazed with a leg stretched across a seat.
Her yellow blazer is shredded by the force of the blast, her hair is covered with soot and her face streaked with blood.
"She was in shock, speechless," Ms Kardava, who was her way to Geneva on assignment, told Time magazine.
"There was no crying, no shouting. She was only looking around with fear."
Bradford One wants to turn the derelict site, currently owned by the city council, into a concert setting with a capacity of up to 2,000 people.
Plans also include restaurants, bars and a new office within the building.
A campaign has been under way to save the 1930s landmark, which played host to acts including The Beatles, since its closure in 2000.
It was bought by regional development agency Yorkshire Forward in 2003, which later entered into a development agreement with Langtree Artisan.
That agreement, which would have seen the demolition of the building, was scrapped last September after the Homes and Communities Agency took over the site following the abolition of Yorkshire Forward.
Earlier this year, the building was bought by Bradford Council for £1.
The authority said it would now consider proposals for commercially viable developments which retain all or part of the building.
Bradford One said the redevelopment and use of the building would be funded in a mix of ways including grants, community funding and a community share scheme.
Another bid has also been unveiled by Bradford Live, which is also calling for the building to become a music venue.
The Seagulls, who became Women's Premier League champions on Sunday, have met the necessary WSL licensing requirements.
The Sussex side beat Sporting Club Albion 4-2 in Sunday's play-off and will take their place in WSL 2 in spring 2017.
Brighton lost just two games as they won the Southern Division this season.
The WSL's on- and off-field criteria included finance and business management, facilities and marketing requirements.
"Brighton thoroughly deserve their promotion after such a fantastic season and for their development off the pitch in recent years," the Football Association's head of leagues and competitions Katie Brazier said.
"It is great for the league that we now have a club on the south coast, which will help us to develop a wider fan-base."
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber added: "We are very proud of the achievements of our women's team this season.
"The club's initial ambition has been to reach the Women's Super League and, having achieved that aim, we are now very much looking forward to kicking off the new season in 2017."
Frazer, 26, sustained serious knee ligament damage in a training session with German club Mannheimer.
She will undergone surgery next week and will definitely miss the opening qualifiers in Kuala Lumpur in January.
Frazer could also be a doubt for the final qualifiers next July.
Ireland should be capable of progressing from the Malaysian tournament in January when they will be up against lower-ranked opposition and require only a top-three finish.
However the next stage of the process in either Belgium or South Africa will be much more taxing as Ireland will need to beat higher-ranked nations to qualify.
The Londonderry woman was distraught after suffering the injury in seemingly innocuous circumstances.
She said: "I have completely ruptured my anterior cruciate and partially torn my medial cruciate ligament and I am having surgery on 3 November and it will take six to nine months recovery from then."
"I am completely devastated that I am missing the tournament in Malaysia for definite and also unable to finish my first season with Mannheimer.
"I was running fast with the ball unopposed in training and went to pass it off my right foot but it just gave way and I fell and it was extremely painful."
Mannheimer's Director of Sport, Peter Leemen added: "She will be operated on by a specialist, who has already performed this type of surgery on other players in the team."
"The cartilage in the knee is completely in order which is important for a good healing process but it´s is such a pity as Megan was settling in so well with the club and her team-mates."
Frazer was able to travel with the Ireland squad for two international defeats in Belgium earlier this week and found the experience at least went some way towards cushioning the blow.
She added: "It was great to be around the team again and it really lifted my mood. Luckily I don't have too much pain and have started to work on my pre-surgery exercises."
International metals group, Liberty House, said the deal with Tata Steel UK for the Hartlepool steelworks would also safeguard 140 existing jobs.
Liberty executive chairman, Sanjeev Gupta, said he wanted the site to become a world leader in the gas and oil pipes industry.
Tata Steel will retain a third mill on the site, employing 270 people.
Liberty has already bought Tata's speciality steelworks in Yorkshire, Lancashire and the West Midlands, and Scunthorpe's Caparo Merchant Bar mill.
The company now have a workforce of nearly 5,000 across the UK, it said.
The tourists' 24-21 victory in the second Test, their first over the All Blacks since 1993, set up the decider at Auckland's Eden Park.
Furlong, part of the Ireland side who beat New Zealand in November, expects a backlash from Steve Hansen's side.
"When your pride is dented, you come out and are up for it," he said.
Furlong was one of eight men in the initial Lions squad who helped end Ireland's 111-year wait for a win over the All Blacks with a 40-29 victory in Chicago last November.
Rory Best, Jack McGrath, CJ Stander, Robbie Henshaw, Conor Murray, Jared Payne and Johnny Sexton were also part of the victorious Irish team.
But New Zealand avenged that defeat with a bruising 21-9 win over Joe Schmidt's men in Dublin two weeks later.
"That match in Dublin, I remember coming off the pitch and being absolutely shattered," Furlong added. "I was sore for days afterwards.
"It was one of the most brutal Test matches I've played in my short career. So we all expect to have the same thing again. And we've got to tee ourselves up for it."
It was a physical contest when New Zealand won in Dublin last November, with centre Henshaw forced off early on after a controversial high challenge by Sam Cane.
In the same match, Malakai Fekitoa was sin-binned for the All Blacks for a dangerous hit on Simon Zebo.
"I think you always fear the All Blacks in the way that if you don't get your stuff sorted, if you don't man up and meet them head on head it's a tough day at the office," added Furlong.
"They can score a try from anywhere. They're that dangerous. They've threats all over the park.
"If none of that works, they're just so damn consistent, and good at holding on to the ball. They're a tough team to beat.
"You have to keep attacking them, but it's easier said than done."
Furlong will be going for three wins over the All Blacks in eight months as Hansen's side look to extend their unbeaten run at Eden Park to 40 games on Saturday.
The Lions, meanwhile, are bidding to secure only their second series win in New Zealand.

Congress went too far in passing the law, which would change US State Department policy, the court ruled.
Currently, the US State Department does not list Israel as the place of birth for Jerusalem-born Americans.
The status of Jerusalem is highly contentious, as the city is claimed by both Israel and the Palestinians.
The ruling shows that the US government still refuses to recognise sovereignty over Jerusalem, and accentuates the president's power in foreign affairs.
Congress passed the law in 2002, but neither former US president George W Bush nor president Barack Obama has enforced it.
The ruling puts an end to a 12-year-old lawsuit from a Jerusalem-born American and his parents.
Jerusalem-born Menachem Zivotofsky's parents Ari and Naomi Zivotofsky long wanted Menachem's passport to say he was born in Israel.
About 50,000 American citizens were born in Jerusalem.
The 45-year-old mother-of-two suffered a punctured lung and permanent damage to her sight following the crash on the Firth of Forth last summer.
The woman had been part of an organised trip to the Isle of May seabird haven.
She was crushed after being seated on an inflatable tube on the boat, used when passenger numbers were high.
The accident happened onboard the Osprey II, which normally carried eight passengers to the Isle of May from Anstruther Harbour.
However, on 19 July 2016, the vessel was carrying 11 passengers, including seven adults and four children.
The boat's sister craft, Osprey, was also in the water and was carrying 12 passengers, including 11 adults and one child.
Investigators were told that passenger spaces on Osprey II were normally limited to the eight spaces available on its four bench seats, but in good weather two additional spaces were sold, with the extra passengers sitting in designated positions on its inflatable tubes.
On the day of the accident, the skipper of each boat - known as rigid inflatable boats (RIB) - had increased speed and started a power turn away from each other with the intention of passing each other in the course of completing a round turn.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report said that as the vessels turned towards each other, it became apparent to both skippers they were in danger of colliding. Despite skippers both acting quickly to reduce their speed, they were unable to prevent the collision.
The report said: "Passengers not sitting on suitable inboard seating have an increased risk of falling overboard, are at significant risk of musculoskeletal injuries and are more exposed to serious injury in the event of a collision."
The injured woman, who was on the vessel with her husband and two children aged eight and 12, was taken to hospital after the incident and was put into an induced coma, having suffered two broken collar bones, five broken ribs, a punctured lung and lacerations and bruising to her back and torso.
The internal injuries she sustained in the accident also resulted in permanent damage to her sight in both eyes.
There are currently no regulations to prevent people on RIBs from sitting on the inflatable tubes, but the MAIB said they are at increased risk in that position.
The MAIB has recommended the Maritime and Coastguard Agency's (MCA) forthcoming recreational craft code includes the stipulation that the certified maximum number of passengers carried on commercially-operated passenger-carrying RIBs should be limited to the number of suitable seats designated for passengers.
Isle of May Boat Trips Ltd, which owns and operates the two vessels, has banned passengers and crew from sitting on the inflatable tubes of Osprey and Osprey II, and has limited passenger numbers to 12 and eight respectively.
It has also issued an instruction that twin RIB operations are not to take place except in an emergency and has reviewed its risk assessments to ensure they incorporate all activities undertaken by Osprey and Osprey II.
Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents, Steve Clinch, said the MAIB had investigated several accidents in which people had been injured as a result of inappropriate seating on RIBs, and the faster the RIB was travelling, the greater the risk.
He confirmed passenger limit recommendations have been made to the MAC, and added: "We have also made a recommendation to the Royal Yachting Association and Passenger Boating Association aimed at improving the guidance available to the operators of commercial passenger-carrying RIBs."
Adam Rooney twice came close for the Dons in the first half, heading over then having a shot saved.
Nial McGinn and Kenny McLean also tested goalkeeper Craig Samson while Well rarely threatened.
It looked as though the visitors had done enough for a point until McGinn converted Jonny Hayes' low cross in stoppage time.
The gap between Aberdeen and leaders Celtic, who host Rangers on Sunday, now stands at 24 points while Motherwell remain three points above second-bottom Hamilton Academical but are now just four ahead of Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
One thing about Aberdeen under Derek McInnes is that they find ways to win matches and this was another example.
It was the eighth time this season a late goal has secured victory.
They hit the same opponents for seven less than a month ago, but the points accumulation is the same.
For long spells they dominated Motherwell with Samson pulling several good saves out of the top drawer, in particular from Rooney and McGinn in the first half.
McGinn's goal came way too late for Motherwell to be able to do anything about it, slotting home from Hayes and once again underlining his value to the club and illustrating just why McInnes wants to retain his services.
And whilst the Steelmen left the Granite City empty handed again, there were plenty positives to take.
Motherwell came to Pittodrie with last month's 7-2 hammering still fresh in the memory.
That was an evening to forget for the Steelmen with former Well boss Mark McGhee's altercation with the home fans producing as many headlines as Aberdeen's ruthlessness.
But Stephen Robinson's impact has been clear to see since he took interim charge with last week's win at Kilmarnock a positive start to his reign.
They were resolute and continually kept their hosts at arm's length with Scotland squad keeper Samson looking determined to make up for February's horror show.
However, the long wait for an away clean sheet in the league goes on for Motherwell, having failed to do so for a year now.
Robinson has certainly strengthened his hopes of getting the Fir Park job full-time despite the defeat.
Victory at Killie followed by a strong performance in Aberdeen has certainly made a statement and the Northern Irishman has to be in pole position for the post after confirmation he is on a five-man shortlist to replace McGhee.
In truth, Motherwell were a shambles on their last visit to Pittodrie, but in just a couple of weeks Robinson has brought organisation to the leakiest defence in the Premiership.
Aberdeen assistant manager Tony Docherty: "It just shows you the spirit of the side - it shows we never know when we're beaten and today was an example of that.
"There was only one team here to win the game and the other team to try and spoil it and we got exactly what we deserved out the game.

"You credit Motherwell, they were here to stop us. They were stuffy. I thought their centre-halves played particularly well but we again found a way.
"It's a great finish from Niall but I wouldn't single out anybody. That was a real team effort to get over the line and get the three points and I feel we fully merited that."
Motherwell interim manager Stephen Robinson: "It's difficult to take. I thought we matched them every step of the way.
"We came here with a game-plan, we frustrated the life out of them. They had possession in areas that weren't going to hurt us. We defended very well.
"We get punished from switching off once.
"They worked hard. They worked the system we asked them to play and it's a massive improvement on the last time they were up here but obviously still very disappointed.
"We've done okay, we're really disappointed in terms of result and how it happened and where the five minutes of added time came from we're not too sure. You deal with that and we get on with it.
"I'm going to have a chat with the board on Monday, see what they feel about the club and where they want to take the football club and we'll go from there."

The silver Kia C'eed was followed by police after it was seen on Shawclough Road at about 18:15 GMT on Sunday. It crashed into another vehicle, a wall and then the house on Sandy Lane.
Two women, aged 18 and 46, were rescued from the car by firefighters and taken to hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries.
A 23-year-old man was arrested at the scene.
Fire crews were called in to lift the car and make the area safe.
Christine Carriage, 67, of The Runnel, Bowthorpe, in Norwich, pleaded guilty to the possession of criminal property to the value of £5,620.
Police seized the goods after a search at the address in November 2013.
She was given a six month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, at Norwich Crown Court on Wednesday.
The items were found in the garden, garage, cupboards, bedroom and dining room at The Runnel property with 340 items, mainly clothing for men, women and children, still having their price labels attached, police said.
More than 210 items of clothing and sundries were still packaged and unopened.
Carriage was also sentenced to 120 hours unpaid work and given an £80 victim charge.
The court said it would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate claims that Mr Martinelli had inflated multi-million dollar contracts during his time in office from 2009 to 2014.
Mr Martinelli denies the allegations.
His successor in office, Juan Carlos Varela, campaigned on a promise to clean up Panamanian politics.
The Supreme Court made the decision on Wednesday after a former government official accused Mr Martinelli of pressuring him to sign "anomalous" contracts worth $45m (£30m).
The former official, Giacomo Tamburelli, ran a government social programme and is himself under investigation for alleged corruption.
The probe centres on accusations that the government paid highly inflated prices for dried food it handed out to students as part of its social programme.
Mr Martinelli, a wealthy supermarket tycoon, said the allegations were part of a political vendetta against him by President Varela.
Mr Varela has in the past accused Mr Martinelli of taking kickbacks, but this is the first time the former leader faces a formal investigation.
Mr Martinelli travelled to Guatemala on Wednesday to attend a session of the Central American parliament, a regional political body with headquarters in Guatemala City.
The former leader did not say whether he would return to Panama.
"I will make that decision in the future, but I am not going to go for a trial arranged by Mr Varela," he said.
During his presidential campaign, Mr Varela, a former Martinelli ally turned bitter rival, said he would root out widespread corruption within Panama's political system.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), which oversees public transport in the region, said the cuts had been made because of reduced funding.
Twenty-two services have been totally withdrawn since July 2014 with a another 29 reduced in some way.
TfGM said it was committed to protecting essential services within the limited budget available.
The organisation, which receives most of its money from Greater Manchester's 10 local authorities, has seen a 3% reduction in funding.
The budget for supported bus services has been reduced by £7.1 million during the last two years.
Savings are being achieved by removing the subsidies which commercial bus companies receive to run night buses, and by "rationalisation of existing services".
TfGM is also attempting to persuade operators to take on "marginal commercial" services and redesigning services so "maximum value" is obtained from subsidies.
Of Greater Manchester's 950 bus services, 275 are subsidised by the public transport body.
From July 2014 to July 2015, TfGM pledged to continue 177 subsidised services with contracts either being extended or awarded to a different bus company.
Over the next 12 months a further 130 subsidised services will be up for renewal.
TfGM said: "We will continue to undertake a rigorous, case-by-case review of every bus journey we pay for."
The clouds are created when rapidly rotating winds form beneath heavy shower or thunder clouds.
BBC weatherman Paul Hudson said it was "a surprise" to see one forming "on a day when weather conditions across Yorkshire are relatively settled".
He said: "There must have been just enough energy and rotation of the air within the cloud to create it."
Nigel Taylor, in Wath upon Dearne, said he saw it forming and thought he was going to need to "take cover in Greggs!"
Earlier in June, a funnel cloud lifted an inflatable slide into the air at a country show in Lincolnshire.
Conwy council has published the symbols which show a range of indicators including whether people were elderly, vulnerable, living alone or considered an "easy target".
Its trading standards will be on patrol to catch those marking houses.
Police notified the council of a Dwygyfylchi home which appeared marked.
Anyone who sees properties being marked is asked to call police on 101.
The firm, Carfinance247, was investigated by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), after it received 912 complaints from members of the public.
When challenged by the ICO, the firm claimed the messages had been sent by another company.
The texts were designed to persuade people to visit the firm's website.
Typical messages read: "You have been accepted for Car Finance no upfront costs or credit checks, drive away in a car within 24hrs at www.go-finance.com to stop txt stop."
The website named is now defunct.
"Carfinance247 Ltd tried to hide behind another company and distance themselves from the marketing practices involved," said Steve Eckersley, the ICO's head of enforcement.
"Let me be clear - if your business has hired someone else to provide direct marketing then the responsibility for the campaign is yours. There is nowhere to hide. If you break the rules we will find you and fine you."
Under the law, marketing messages can only be sent to consumers who have already agreed to receive them, or who have been a customer in the past, and have been given an opportunity to opt out of such messages on each occasion.
Up to 50 people have been killed in missile attacks on schools and hospitals in the region, the UN said.
Turkey's foreign ministry blamed Russia for the attacks. Moscow is yet to respond to the allegations.
Meanwhile, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has cast doubt over plans to implement a "cessation of hostilities" in Syria.
Last week world powers agreed to work towards a selective truce in Syria, to begin later this week.
But in his first comments on the announcement, President Assad said such a ceasefire did not mean all the parties would put down their weapons.
"So far they say they want a ceasefire within a week," he said in televised comments.
"Who is capable of gathering all these conditions and requirements within a week?"
The UN said the series of raids in northern Syria "cast a shadow" on the prospects for a cessation.
At least 12 people were killed in Azaz and the surrounding area, with two hospitals and two schools reportedly hit.
In Maarat al-Numan, in Idlib province, a hospital run by Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF ) was reduced to rubble.
Seven people were killed and another eight are still missing the medical charity said, calling it a "deliberate" attack.
Mego Terzian, president of MSF France, told Reuters "either the [Syrian] government or Russia" was responsible.
But the Syrian ambassador to Moscow Riad Haddad, said the US was to blame, a claim the Pentagon dismissed as "patently false".
"We have no reason to strike in Idlib, as Isil (so-called Islamic State) is not active there," spokesman Capt Jeff Davis said.
A second hospital in Maarat al-Numan was also hit, killing three people, activists said.
France said it condemned the bombing of the MSF clinic in the strongest terms, with Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault saying such acts "constitute war crimes".
Turkey called the attacks "obvious" war crimes. Relations between Turkey and Russia are badly strained, with the pair on opposite sides of the Syrian conflict.
Russia has been backing the Syrian government in its offensive against rebels but says it only targets what it calls "terrorists".
Meanwhile, Kurdish forces have captured the town of Tal Rifaat from Islamist rebels in northern Syria, the monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
This was despite three days of shelling from Turkey, which views the YPG militia in Syria as allied to the outlawed PKK, which has carried out a decades-long campaign for autonomy in Turkey.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu promised the "harshest reaction" if Kurdish forces tried to take nearby Azaz.
The militia has taken advantage of the chaotic situation to extend its territory near the border, just as a Syrian government offensive threatens to surround Aleppo further south.
The UN envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, is in the Syrian capital Damascus as part of his effort to restart peace talks.
Almost five years of civil war in Syria have led to the deaths of more than 250,000 people. More than 11 million people have been displaced.
In the old days, someone stealing a credit card - a pickpocket, say, would have just enough time before the card was cancelled to be able to buy a few high value things, stuff easily resold and turned to cash. A huge pain for everyone concerned, certainly, but it was a small crime: a couple of grand at most.
But in recent years, we've heard of websites, and store-based retailers, falling victim to hackers and losing lists of millions of credit card numbers.
Not the physical cards: simply the numbers. And here was the thing. How did the hackers turn their successful data breach into cold hard cash?
This is an important question, because as organised crime expert Misha Glenny, points out, the liberation of millions of credit card numbers has far outstripped the day-to-day robbery of one card at a time.
So how do they do it? How do hackers turn their success in the virtual world into money in the physical one?
The answer, it turns out, involves a remarkable level of international organisation, the coming together for a single project of gangs of criminals, mutually untrusting and anonymous, and the smuggling of huge amounts of cash across borders.
Here's how one heist worked. In late 2012, a group of hackers, so far uncaught, but probably in the Ukraine, broke into a credit card processing system used by Bank Muscat, a large bank in the Middle East.
There they were able to discover the numbers of some prepaid credit cards issued by Bank Muscat, remove the credit limit from the cards, and change their Pin numbers.
Then it gets complicated.
Armed with the numbers usually found on the magnetic stripe on the back of these cards, the hackers were able to go online to various websites dedicated to criminal activity.
Like any online job board, they could use these services to recruit teams of low-level street criminals, smugglers, and money launderers, to come together for this one project.
These sites are like any legitimate website offering freelancers' services: people are reviewed and rated, and their reputations made or ruined by the way they execute their criminal plans.
And so, with teams organised around the world, the hackers were able to send them the mag stripe information.
Credit card making hardware is easy to buy online, as are blank credit cards, so the gangs could make their own cards from the data provided.
And then, on the day of the operation, with the hackers still logged into the computer system and able to watch everything that was going on - making sure they weren't being ripped off themselves - they distributed the Pin numbers and the gangs went to work, walking the streets of their cities and withdrawing money from every ATM they could find.
Keeping their agreed percentage, they passed the money on to other teams, who, in turn, laundered and smuggled it back to the masterminds.
In all, gangs in 26 countries had simultaneously withdrawn $40m (£25m) in more than 36,000 ATM withdrawals.
A magnificent crime - but also one that suggests the way that businesses, legitimate this time, might evolve in the future.
As businesses in the developed, post-industrial world, move from physical manufacturing to the creation of digital goods, or to providing services worldwide, there is less and less need to gather people together in one place, or to keep them together once the job has been done.
The future of work seems to be increasingly one of ad hoc groups of freelancers coalescing around a single project, doing the job, rating each other, and then dispersing for the next opportunity.
And it's this sort of organisation that this new generation of cybercriminals have perfected.
So, while we must study these groups in order to catch them, we could also study them to find out how they work.
And while we hope that they don't profit from their crimes, we, in the end, just might.

The teenager was found unconscious by police officers at an address in Pierson Street, Newark, just after midnight on Sunday.
Ambulance crews tried to resuscitate her but she died shortly after arriving at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.
A 23-year-old man had been arrested and remains in custody.
The team - known as the Bluebirds - played in blue shirts at home on Saturday for the first time since 2012 after the club's owner agreed to change the colour back from red.
Owner Vincent Tan gave the go-ahead on Friday after a meeting with supporters.
On Saturday, chief executive Ken Choo said fans were "buzzing" just before kick-off amid a carnival atmosphere.
Earlier on Saturday, firefighters were called to the stadium after cladding on the roof of the Ninian Stand came loose after strong winds battered Wales overnight.
The controversial rebrand to red was introduced by Tan after he bought the club but was unpopular with supporters.
The red shirt - introduced in June 2012 to appeal to international markets - will remain as Cardiff's away kit.
The Football League has given its permission for Cardiff to change their playing strip mid-campaign.
The club's badge will also be changed to give the Bluebird mascot more prominence.
In a statement, Tan said his mother had been instrumental in his change of heart over the kit's colour.
"The Christmas and New Year period has given me time to reflect on events of the last year," he said.
"Spending time with my family has had a profound effect upon me, my mother... spoke to me on the importance of togetherness, unity and happiness.
"Cardiff City Football Club is important to me and I wish to see it united and happy."
A missed header from Thomas O'Ware allowed Leigh Griffiths to open with his 34th goal of the season.
Gary Mackay-Steven stroked home from Kieran Tierney's cross soon after.
And Callum McGregor curled in a sumptuous third with Celtic dominant, and noticeably sharper and slicker than their opposition.
Morton boss Jim Duffy changed the normal shape of his Championship team by fielding a back three instead of four and leaving out in-form winger Bobby Barr. His gamble failed.
However, he was not helped by schoolboy defending by O'Ware for the loss of the decisive first goal.
Ronnie Deila made sweeping changes for the Premiership leaders, one of them enforced by an injury to Dedryck Boyata, but the rest all in midfield with Tom Rogic, Stuart Armstrong and Patrick Roberts making way for Kris Commons, Mackay Steven and McGregor.
It was a surreal atmosphere in the ground, the game kicking off in the Glasgow east end midday sunshine and Celtic Park not even half-full.
And the manager of Celtic knew that defeat would surely bring his own high noon, following patchy recent form. But it took just 14 minutes for his worries to ease.
O'Ware totally misjudged his header on the end of a cross from the right and it fell to, of all people, Griffiths four yards out and unmarked.
Celtic were on their way.
Their second came 11 minutes later and again Mackay-Steven's finish could be filed as straightforward.
Their third, 10 minutes after that, was far more inventive. McGregor was really clever with a bending finish from the edge of the box and Celtic were now entitled to dream about what Sunday afternoon's draw might bring.
No further goals came, nor indeed were required, but there was the one black spot - an injury to Stefan Johansen on the stroke of half-time courtesy of a clumsy challenge by Mike Miller that went curiously unpunished.
And that, really, was that. Celtic through and nerves soothed for Deila, with substitute Patrick Roberts and Mackay-Steven firing against the post and bar, respectively, in the second period.
The 34-year-old returned to the Test side for the tour of the West Indies, 18 months after leaving the Ashes tour with a stress-related illness, but managed only 72 runs in six innings.
"This was a tough decision but I don't feel my game is at the level needed to play for England," said Trott.
"I was honoured to come back and play international cricket again and I'm disappointed it didn't work out."
The Warwickshire right-hander scored 3,835 runs in 52 Tests, including a century on his debut in the 2009 Ashes decider.
He played in two more successful Ashes campaigns and was named the International Cricket Council player of the year in 2011.
"I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me and given me the chance to represent England and to thank supporters for all their backing over the years," added Trott.

"I've had incredible highs and some real lows but wouldn't change a thing."
South Africa-born Trott made his England debut in a Twenty20 international against West Indies in 2007, his first of seven T20s.
But it would be the longer form of the game where he made a real impact, coming into the Test side two years later for the fifth Test against Australia and scoring a second-innings century as the Ashes were regained.
Trott was part of the team that ended a 24-year wait for a win down under in 2010-11 and reached the top of the world Test rankings later that year.
"It has been an absolute honour to play alongside Trotty in every one of his 52 Tests," said England captain Alastair Cook.
"He can be incredibly proud of all he has achieved and it is no coincidence that his time in international cricket has seen the team achieve some very special things."
Trott left the 2013-14 Ashes series in Australia after the first Test defeat in Brisbane, initially citing a stress-related illness.
A first comeback with Warwickshire was aborted, but a second was sustained and successful, earning him a place on the England Lions tour to South Africa.
He was recalled to the Test side for the tour to the Caribbean, but his return to the highest level was as an opener, rather than his previous position of number three.
Trott made 59 in his third innings back, but only 13 runs in five other knocks, including three ducks.
After both his dismissal in the second-innings and the conclusion of the final Test in Barbados, he waved a goodbye to England's travelling fans.
"To come back from events around the Brisbane Test in 2013 and earn a place back in this side is testament to his character and spirit," added Cook.
"Although things didn't work out as we all hoped on this current tour, he gave absolutely everything every time he wore the cap.
"I speak on behalf of this current team and all those who have shared a dressing room with him over the years when I say it was a privilege to play alongside him."

A large amount of a substance which looked like slug pellets or rodenticide was found at the entrance to Overtoun Park in Rutherglen on 6 January.
The Scottish SPCA believes it was intentionally put there to harm an animal.
On the same day a white powder-like substance was found in a garden in Stevenston, Ayrshire.
The owner of the property believes it was put there to target dogs living there.
An undercover inspector with the charity's special investigations unit said: "Dogs are usually very curious and will try to eat the poison.
"I recently dealt with a report of a Jack Russell who congested a large amount of slug pellets and was extremely ill. There is a concern poison is being laid on purpose.
"The poisoning of domestic animals is a huge issue and we deal with a large number of complaints regarding poisonings and they are incredibly difficult to solve due to the nature of the crime."

The U's have recorded consecutive draws in the league after a goalless stalemate against Cambridge on Monday.
Oxford remain second in the table but could be leapfrogged should Plymouth or Accrington win their games in hand.
"We have a target set for us point-wise and we are still on course for that," Sercombe, 25, told BBC Radio Oxford.
"The manager (Michael Appleton) is always on about getting a quick start but the intensity wasn't there [against Cambridge].
"We keep our focus and, once we hit that target, we are confident that will be enough."
Oxford's management staff have established the mystery points target by utilising points tallies from the past 10 seasons.
Appleton's side, who are unbeaten in their last four matches, now turn their focus to Wembley for the Football League Trophy final against Barnsley on Sunday.
"Everybody in that changing room is desperate for promotion and it's a lot bigger than the one day at Wembley," added Sercombe.
"It's going to be special and a good day for family and friends, but promotion is what we are aiming for."

Militancy in Mali
Chris Rogers and Steve Smith both scored hundreds as the hosts reached 337-1 by the close.

Their partnership of 259 broke an 85-year record for Australia's second-wicket at Lord's, as Rogers made 158 not out for his highest Test score and Smith an unbeaten 129 after David Warner had squandered a promising 38 with a reckless shot.
On a day of few chances - Ian Bell dropped a low Smith edge at second slip - England's bowlers rarely lost their discipline but struggled to pose any consistent threat on a slow pitch offering almost no movement off the surface.
With the tourists now in a position from which to dictate the match, Alastair Cook's men face a major challenge to keep their series lead intact.
An Australia victory would tie the series and put Michael Clarke's side back on track to retain the Ashes.
Australia, who selected Mitchell Marsh and Peter Nevill in place of Shane Watson and Brad Haddin, have not won an Ashes series in England since 2001.
Rogers put aside the frustration of scoring seven consecutive fifties without converting a single one into a hundred by batting the entire day.
After surviving an early scare when he edged James Anderson's third ball past Joe Root in the slips, the left-hander used all the experience gained from four seasons at Lord's with Middlesex to punch, nudge and steer his way to three figures.
Opening his shoulders in the dying stages of the day, he peppered the boundaries at the famous arena to add 77 runs in the session between tea and the close, going past his previous Test best of 119.
Smith justified his status as the world's second-ranked Test batsman with a confident century of his own.
After labouring 111 deliveries for his first half-century, he needed only 50 balls for his second, steaming into the nineties with a straight six off Moeen Ali and bringing up three figures by pulling a tiring Anderson dismissively through mid-wicket for four.
His only false stroke, an edge off Stokes, flew low to Bell at slip. It was a difficult chance, but one which England desperately needed to be taken.
England's bowlers were always likely to struggle to match the near-flawless display they produced in Cardiff.
But they managed to avoid falling into the trap that caught Australia out in the first Test and remained disciplined throughout the majority of an increasingly frustrating day.
Stuart Broad picked up where he left off in south Wales as he probed on a full length and regularly beat the bat without reward.
Mark Wood took some time to adapt to the Lord's slope but also produced some unplayable deliveries.
James Anderson and Ben Stokes were slightly less consistent and were invariably punished on the occasions they dropped short.
At Cardiff, the slowness of the pitch played into England's hands at it nullified Australia's fast bowlers, and provided uneven bounce and movement for the home seamers later in the game.
If, as some suspected, England requested a similar surface at Lord's, the tactic backfired the moment Australia won the toss.
The pitch was equally slow but far truer than the one in Cardiff, allowing the ball to sit up and seemingly beg to be thrashed across the lightning-fast outfield.
"I'm not sure what England can do. They don't have a great spin bowler or a genuine quick bowler, although I'm not sure what impact that would have here," said Geoffrey Boycott on Test Match Special.
"They have got what they wanted, a flat pitch to negate Australia's quicks. They have probably done that but it's not easy to bowl out decent batsmen. That's the other side of the coin."
Warner's innings featured a sudden acceleration from first gear to fifth and a humiliating crash landing.
Having taken 25 balls to reach the boundary, he then struck six more fours in his next 16 deliveries, including two off the first two balls of Moeen's opening spell.
Four balls later, the assault continued as Warner aimed another heave into the covers where a grateful Anderson took the catch.
Off trudged Warner, cursing himself, while Boycott quipped that pork pies had more brains than the Australia opener. Sadly for England, Australia's generosity ended there.
Australia's Chris Rogers on Sky Sports: "It's one of the proudest moments of my career. To get a hundred here is so special. I have a lot of support here, lots of friends."
Team-mate Steve Smith: "That was very important after Cardiff. The pitch was a little bit slow and if you got in you needed to go big.
"I wanted to make it count today and get up on that board. It was about keeping England out there for as long as possible."
England bowler James Anderson: "Hats off to the two guys who made hundreds - they played brilliantly throughout the day.
"They stayed patient, they attacked us when they could and made it really difficult for us to bowl at them for long periods of time and create that pressure."
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott: "I haven't seen anything yet that tells me this won't be good for batting when it's England's turn.
"But there's scoreboard pressure and we don't know if the ball will keep low and turn appreciably as it goes on."
As ever, the first hour on Friday will be crucial. England have a relatively new ball to use and must make early inroads into the Australian batting line-up.
If they don't, it could be another long day in the field with no respite from the weather, which looks set fair.
If Rogers and Smith get set again, the tourists will be eyeing 600 and putting real pressure on England's batting.
Quick wickets could at least keep England in the game with two debutants to follow Australian captain Michael Clarke and Adam Voges.
Details of the 63-year-old's agreement with Nafissatou Diallo will remain confidential, the judge added.
Mr Strauss-Kahn was held in New York in May 2011 after Ms Diallo, 33, said he assaulted her in his hotel suite.
Prosecutors later dropped charges amid concerns about her credibility.
The incident was widely seen as having ruined Mr Strauss-Kahn's chance of becoming the Socialist presidential candidate in his native France.
New York State Supreme Court Justice Douglas McKeon announced on Monday that after lengthy negotiations, the parties "came together and put terms of a settlement on the record".
By Laura TrevelyanBBC News, New York
Now that there has been a settlement, we will probably never know exactly what transpired between the head of the IMF and the immigrant hotel maid from Guinea at the hotel Sofitel in Manhattan. There was forensic evidence of a sexual encounter of some kind. Mr Strauss-Kahn insisted it was consensual, Ms Diallo said he attempted to rape her.
The criminal case collapsed after the prosecution said Ms Diallo had credibility issues. Now her attempt to bring a civil case has been settled for an undisclosed amount. Two very different lives have been turned upside down by the encounter, and Mr Strauss-Kahn's ambitions to be president of France lie in ruins.
The amount of the settlement was kept confidential.
Mr Strauss-Khan did not attend the hearing, but Ms Diallo was in court.
After the settlement, the judge thanked all parties and said it was a "privilege to work with all of you".
Outside the courtroom, Ms Diallo made a short statement: "I thank everybody all over the world and everybody at the court, and God bless you all."
Her lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, said afterwards that she was "ready to move on".
In May 2011, Ms Diallo, a Guinean immigrant with a teenage daughter, said Mr Strauss-Kahn had forced her to perform oral sex when she went to clean his hotel room.
He was arrested, charged with attempted rape and forced to resign from his post at the International Monetary Fund.
Mr Strauss-Kahn had previously admitted to a "moral failing", but insisted their sexual encounter was consensual.
In the wake of Ms Diallo's accusations, other women came forward with sexual assault allegations against him.
Tarik Hassane, 22, of west London, will serve a minimum of 21 years after admitting conspiracy to murder and preparation of acts of terrorism.
Suhaib Majeed, 22, of west London, was convicted of the same charges and will serve a minimum of 20 years.
Two other men who provided a gun were also imprisoned for firearms offences.
Nyall Hamlett, 25, and Nathan Cuffy, 26, had admitted their role in handing over a gun to Majeed and Hassane, but denied knowing what it was going to be used for.
Hamlett was today jailed for six-and-a-half years and Cuffy for 11 years. They were cleared of conspiracy to murder and preparing terrorist acts.
During the sentencing at the Old Bailey, Mr Justice Wilkie said it was "shocking, tragic and deplorable" that Hassane and Majeed, "educated through the UK school system, undertaking university courses, should be so influenced by the bloodthirsty version of Islam presented by IS".
"You decided to take up arms against your fellow British citizens and those charged with protecting them, in the streets of your own city," he said.
The trial heard that Hassane, a medical student who split his time between London and university in Sudan, was immersed in extremist ideology and aspired to kill in London months before the IS group urged supporters in the West to carry out such attacks.
He turned to his childhood friend, Majeed - a physics undergraduate - to help him put the plan into action, with the pair communicating secretly through social media apps.
Majeed agreed to get a gun and moped for what would be a drive-by attack, the court heard.
Hamlett, a known criminal, supplied the weapon to Majeed after first acquiring it from Cuffy.
Soon afterwards the men were arrested. They had been under surveillance by the police and MI5.
Gestede looped the ball over goalkeeper Jamal Blackman after the Blades had failed to clear Patrick Bamford's lofted pass into the penalty area.
The former Aston Villa man hit the post with another header before half-time.
Sheffield United, who won their opening match against Brentford, had a goal disallowed in stoppage time.
Jack O'Connell was adjudged to be offside when Dael Fry nodded a free-kick into his own net and, with that, the League One champions suffered their first defeat since 24 January.
Before the dramatic ending, the Blades' best attempt at goal was Paul Coutts' side-footed effort from 20 yards, which Darren Randolph palmed wide for a corner.
Gestede and Bamford were two of four additions to the Middlesbrough side beaten at Wolves seven days earlier, replacing summer signings Martin Braithwaite and Ashley Fletcher, and the pair repaid their manager's faith by combining for Boro's first league goal of the campaign.
The hosts also gave a debut to midfielder Lewis Baker, who played the final 23 minutes as a substitute after joining the club on loan from Chelsea on Friday.

Police say they are still investigating the motive for Sunday morning's killing. Two men arrived by motorcycle at the scholar's home in Dharwad in Karnataka state. One knocked on his door, entered the house claiming to be Dr Kalburgi's student, had a brief conversation with the teacher - then shot him dead and escaped on the waiting bike.
The death of a "straight-talking, rationalist researcher of ancient Kannada literature", as a newspaper described him, has shocked the nation. Police are exploring whether the killing is linked to last year's remarks by Dr Kalburgi against idol worship, which had angered right-wing Hindu groups.
The former university vice-chancellor had been given police protection after Hindu hardliners protested against his comments. Some of these groups actually celebrated the professor's killing on social media yesterday.
Many believe Dr Kalburgi made many enemies within his own Lingayat community - an influential Hindu sect that dominates life and politics in Karnataka - with his outspoken remarks about its traditional beliefs and practices.
Lingayatas, a middle caste, comprise 12-14% of Karnataka's population, and dominate politics in the state - most of the state's chief ministers have belonged to the community, which are now also the Hindu nationalist BJP's main support base. There are some 2,000 powerful Lingayat community mutts, or monastic establishments, which also run professional colleges.
As Raghu Karnad writes perceptively in The Wire website, Dr Kalburgi's murder may have more to do with the "fine rivalries and high political stakes within Lingayat caste politics".
Dr Kalburgi was a scholar of the vachana verses, the founding literature of the Lingayats. Vachanas are like daily rituals, helping people to lead their daily lives.
He had "frequently riled the Lingayat orthodoxy" with his interpretation of the verses and had received death threats from conservative members of his community.
"What Dr Kalburgi was giving was a liberal interpretation of the verses, which was more cosmopolitan and modern in its approach", says an expert. This, writes Karnad, had "implications not only for the theology of the Lingayat establishment, but for its enormous political and financial power".
In 1989, community hardliners had threatened to kill him for writing a "Kannada-language book they claim blasphemes a 12th century saint", according to a civil rights group report.
Dr Kalburgi was given protection by police and a group of 43 local writers and academics had formed a committee in support of the book. Recently, he had irked the hardliners again by saying that Lingayats could not be called Hindus.
At a meeting to mark his death yesterday, there was an overarching concern, writes Karnad, that a "culture of lethal violence might overwhelm the hallowed culture of discussion and questioning in Lingayat society".
Dr Kalburgi's killing comes two years after the murder of another prominent rationalist-thinker, Dr Narendra Dabholkar, in the western city of Pune. His killers have still not been caught.
But Sunday's killing reminds me of the fate of Perumal Murugan, the well-known writer in the Tamil language who earlier this year announced his decision to give up writing forever after wrathful protests against his novel Madhorubhagan by local Hindu and caste-based groups. "Author Perumal Murugan has died," the Tamil writer and professor posted on Facebook then.
This time a thinker actually has been killed.
The research looked at genetic editing techniques - which in theory can be used to snip out faulty bits of genetic material that would otherwise lead to serious inherited diseases.
This is the first time it is known to have been attempted on early human embryos. But the results suggest it can cause new, unintended genetic errors.
Experts are questioning whether the procedure - which, if taken further, could lead to genetic changes being passed on to future generations - has crossed ethical, moral and legal lines.
The study was published in the less well-known journal Protein and Cell, by a team of scientists from the Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou.
There are claims that more established journals such as Nature and Science rejected it on ethical grounds.
Researchers say they collected faulty human embryos incapable of leading to live births, from discarded stores at fertility clinics.
Using gene editing complexes they then tried to cut out and replace a gene responsible for a serious blood disorder.
But in many cases the procedure failed. And in some embryos, new genetic mutations, so-called off-target effects, arose in unexpected places.
Scientists suspect this was down to the gene editing technology working in places it was not intended to.
Researchers concluded these off-target effects "need to be investigated thoroughly" before any attempts to take the procedure to the clinic.
There have been strong reactions to this paper on several grounds.
Many focus on what would happen if embryos modified in this way were implanted in wombs and allowed to develop into live births.
This could mean dangerous, newly created genetic changes are passed on from one generation to the next.
And others argue the technology could be exploited to alter genes for cosmetic reasons.
Dr Yalda Jamshidi, at St George's University Hospital, said: "In theory, replacing the defective gene with a healthy one would be the ideal solution.
"Researchers have been working on developing techniques to accomplish this for many years.
"However, altering genes in human embryos can have unpredictable effects on future generations."
Others have questioned whether these techniques are even legal under current laws.
Prof Robin Lovell Badge, at the Crick Institute, says such procedures could be legal in the UK if granted a licence after careful consideration by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.
But it would be illegal to then implant the embryos into a woman for further development.
Meanwhile in the US, it would not be possible to do this with federal funding. But finances from private companies and charities could be used in states that do not ban the procedure, he says.
As gene editing methods become simpler and more widely available, some scientists argue firm global governance is needed.
And they say regulations must make clear the difference between gene editing used in reproductive cells rather than cells that are not passed on.
Several trials are underway attempting to modify non-reproductive cells as an approach to treat cancer, for example.
But how international regulations would be enforced on technology that is easily accessible and developing at a fast pace, is unclear.
Some experts have gone even further, calling for a moratorium on further studies while science and society decide how far the technology should be allowed to go.
But despite the uproar, not everyone is against the research.
They argue that studies which bring us incrementally closer to eliminating life-limiting genetic diseases must be allowed to continue.
Prof Lovell Badge says he is fully supportive of research being carried out on early human embryos in laboratory settings - especially on embryos that are not required for reproduction and would otherwise be discarded.
If the techniques work, he says, there are many questions that could be asked about the role of specific genes in early human development.
And should the technology be proven safe and effective with further trials, the nature of the argument could change.
Prof Darren Griffin, at the University of Kent, argues if these obstacles are overcome, the next consideration is whether it crosses a moral boundary to apply it to patients.
"Equally, some will ask if the procedure is safe, do we have a moral imperative to make sure that we do it?"

Darren Sykes, 44, and his son Paul, nine, died following the fire at a house on Tennyson Close in Penistone, in Barnsley on Wednesday evening.
His older son Jack, 12, remains in a critical condition in hospital.
Police said a post-mortem revealed the cause of Mr Sykes' death was "compatible with the effects of fire".
Further tests are to be carried out to establish the cause of his son's death, South Yorkshire Police said.
Emergency services were called to the house at about 18:30 BST on Thursday.
Investigators said the fire had been started deliberately and that an accelerant was used to start several seats of fire inside the property.
Police have said they are not looking for anyone else over the incident.
Newport had been confident the match would go ahead but referee Charles Breakspear called it off after heavy rain on Saturday.
League Two side County and Newport RFC had games postponed last weekend due to a waterlogged pitch at the same ground.
The fixture could be rearranged for the week starting Monday, 18 January.
The parties announced the decision at a meeting of the new council on Wednesday evening.
Christine Simpson (Labour) was named as the new provost, and Graham Houston (SNP) as depute convener.
At the start of the meeting, a minute's silence was held to remember the victims of the Manchester terror attack.
The previous administration in Stirling was a Labour-Conservative coalition.
Most of Scotland's 32 local authorities have now formed administrations, but a few are still to reach decisions.
It was announced earlier on Wednesday that the SNP would form a minority administration in East Dunbartonshire.
West Lothian and Edinburgh councils are due to hold meetings on Thursday, after both adjourned meetings last week.
She was speaking during a visit to the site of the multi-million pound project which is due to be completed this year.
The scheme has resulted in 215 new jobs in Dumfries and Galloway - 55 more than originally planned.
Ms Sturgeon said the project was "delivering a meaningful community benefit" and aiding the economy.
"With a full year's work ahead of us until the hospital is complete, we fully intend to make the most of the opportunities this presents to the community, as well as to individuals seeking training or work opportunities," she said.
"This new facility will deliver high-quality health services to patients from the Dumfries and Galloway region, and we are investing in the latest technologies to ensure efficient and effective diagnostics and treatment for every patient."
NHS Dumfries and Galloway chief executive Jeff Ace said the health board was delighted that High Wood Health and construction partner Laing O'Rourke remained on schedule with the works.
"This is a very exciting time for all involved in the new hospital project as we move closer to seeing our vision for a fantastic new facility for our patients and staff become a reality," he said.
"The new hospital project has delivered all anticipated community benefits in terms of new jobs, apprenticeships and training opportunities and we will continue to maximise these gains over the coming year.
"By the time the new hospital is handed over in September 2017 many local people will have made a significant contribution to the construction programme remaining on schedule, and will have gained valuable experience working on an exciting new build project."
South of Scotland Labour MSP Colin Smyth said no amount of "hurriedly arranged photocalls" would cover up the fact that the NHS was "facing crisis".
"NHS Dumfries and Galloway recently confirmed that they need to make £20m of cuts alone next year, because government funding is not keeping up with demand," he said.
"We have a GP crisis in the region, with GP practices closing and merging because doctors posts can't be filled and last year 300 operations were cancelled in the region alone because we don't have enough capacity due to the shortage of consultants.
"A new building, welcome as that is, won't change the fact that it is nurses, doctors, consultants and auxiliary staff that carry out the care and the first minister needs to start listening to NHS staff who are telling the government there aren't enough of them to do their job."
The new hospital received £200m from the Scottish government's non-profit distributing (NPD) programme.
It is expected to open in December this year.
Groove CairnGorm, which made its debut in 2016, has been set up along the lines of continental snowsports music festivals Snowbombing and Snowboxx.
It is held in partnership with CairnGorm Mountain ski centre and Badaguish Outdoor Centre.
However, mild and windy weather has delayed the start of Scotland's latest snowsports season.
The festival is to take place on 24 and 25 February.
The organisers of Groove CairnGorm said that while snow was not essential for the event, it would be a bonus.
Skiers, snowboarders, hillwalkers and climbers are among those who attended last year's inaugural event, which featured performances by DJ Grandmaster Flash, Niteworks and Spring Break.
This year's acts include Basement Jaxx, Blonde, Craig Charles' Funk and Soul Club and The Lafontaines.
A spokesman for the event said: "Although even in the worst case scenario and the weather doesn't improve we are very fortunate that the Cairngorms have a wealth of other outdoor activities to keep people entertained throughout the day."
He added: "The whole team are taking part in morning and evening snow dances to encourage the white stuff, so fingers crossed."
The £5.6m improvement of the A64 Brambling Fields Junction will allow vehicles to bypass Malton and Norton.
A lane of the A64 will be closed on either side of the trunk road in the Brambling Fields area for 24 weeks.
Access to homes and businesses will be maintained but diversions will be put in place.
Ryedale District Council said the work would reduce traffic passing through the Butcher Corner junction in Malton town centre by up to 30%.
Councillor Keith Knaggs, leader of Ryedale District Council, said: "For a short periods of limited pain the community will achieve a very significant long-term gain."
He added: "This new slip road will mean that we can improve the air quality in Malton town centre, make it a better and safer place for business and shopping and bring forward new jobs and new homes for Ryedale people."
Striker Maxwel Cornet, 20, who plays in France for Lyon and midfielder Seko Fofana, 21, from Italian club Udinese, have committed to playing for the Elephants.
Cornet is Ivorian born while Fofana, who had a loan spell at Fulham, was born in Paris but his parents hail from the Ivory Coast.
Both played for France up to under-19 but under Fifa regulations can change their allegiance as they are dual nationals and have not played a senior competitive international for the team.
The duo join former England international Wilfried Zaha as players who have been recruited by the Ivorian federation in recent months.
The new players strengthen their squad for the resumption of World Cup qualifiers later in the year, the country's football federation has said.
New Ivory Coast coach Marc Wilmots met with both Cornet and Fofana this week.
They are likely to feature in his first squad in June when the team play the Netherlands in a friendly and then open their qualifying campaign for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with a home match against Guinea.
In August, they resume their World Cup qualifying campaign away in Gabon. The Ivory Coast head Group C with four points from their first two matches. | Oxford United are still on course to reach their points target to win promotion from League Two, says midfielder Liam Sercombe.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was the first war crimes tribunal created since Nuremberg at the end of World War II. It has indicted 161 individuals, including senior politicians and military leaders.
The BBC has been allowed unprecedented access to the inner workings of the tribunal.
In the bowels of the building sits a heavy, six-lever metal door, probably bomb-proof. It harks back to the time when the place was owned by an insurance firm.
The door used to be the entrance to the company's vault, where its most important documents and files were kept. Today the door is unnecessary but the vault has been turned into a series of Spartan holding cells, a place for the accused at the court to sit and meet their lawyers before going upstairs to the courts.
Each cell has a small, simple table and two plastic chairs and every defendant has had access to the same basic facility.
All except Slobodan Milosevic. Such was the media interest in the trial of the former Yugoslav leader that Paddy Gavin, the Irish carpenter in charge of the cells, was forced to create a small bedsit for the ex-president so he could arrive very early, ahead of the media.
"We fitted it with a bed and a wardrobe and somewhere to write and a lamp," he recalls. "All the furniture had to be screwed together and fixed to the floors and the walls."
A couple of floors above the vault sit the courts themselves. The highest-profile current defendant is Radovan Karadzic, former leader of the Bosnian Serbs.
He is accused of genocide and crimes against humanity, including at Srebrenica, where more than 7,000 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) men and boys were murdered.
But despite the seriousness of the charges, he has chosen to defend himself, an idea he got from watching Milosevic employ the same tactic during his trial.
Mr Karadzic does get legal help however, and in a small cramped office sit eight young, eager, fresh-faced interns.
Law students drawn from around the world, they are excited to be working on such a high-profile case.
Cradling a signed photo of Mr Karadzic is one of the interns, 24-year-old Zygimantas Juska from Lithuania.
"I met him and he seems really nice," he says. "He knows a lot from his life and experience so he can provide a lot of valuable information to someone young like me. He's done a lot in his life."
Corralling that enthusiasm is Peter Robinson, a defence lawyer from San Francisco who is one of Mr Karadzic's legal representatives.
He similarly describes the Bosnian Serb positively, talking of a "funny, personable, humble, grateful" man, but he acknowledges it is unlikely his client will ever be freed.
"He may know in his heart [that he'll never be freed] but he's a real optimist... and I think he has some hope, maybe unrealistic, that some day he could be," he said.
Ranged against that hope are millions of pages of documents held behind the locked doors of the court's evidence vault.
Stacked in neat brown cardboard boxes, they contain the horrors of the wars in the former Yugoslavia - the evidence of witnesses, the forensic material gathered on the ground, the transcripts of incendiary interviews given at the time.
Bob Reid, a plain-speaking former Australian police officer who has worked here for nearly two decades, recalls carrying out much of the tribunal's early, grim investigative work.
He said it was "chilling" to walk into the notorious Serbian detention camp, Omarska, with its torture chamber known as the White House, "where we knew terrible crimes had occurred".
"The political elite, the police officers, the clergy - had all been put in there and none of them came out. And [we] were still finding traces of blood."
It is little wonder he took particular delight in securing the capture of Mr Karadzic and his erstwhile military leader, Ratko Mladic. "They were nice days, they were good days. There was one beer or two had in Belgrade."
While a lot of the evidence against Mr Karadzic and Mr Mladic, whose trial is also under way, is on paper, it is the evidence of witnesses that make the trials come alive.
Several witnesses, from either the defence or the prosecution side, can pass through the court each day.
The tribunal has a particular section, the Witness Support Unit, that takes care of people who travel to the court.
Some have been called to testify on several occasions, giving evidence in more than one trial, not just at The Hague but in courts in the former Yugoslavia.
The whole experience can put severe pressure on the witnesses, says Helena Vranov Schoorl from the unit:
"It's like they are stuck in the past.
"They call it a bit of a testimony fatigue. As one of the witnesses said - once a witness, always a witness. The witnesses feel exhausted, especially if you are forced to live in the past."
The call of The Hague on those witnesses is reducing.
The last trials are under way, with verdicts expected by the end of 2014, although appeals could mean the court continuing to operate for a couple of years after that.
Despite the dozens of defendants and thousands of witnesses who have passed through this ground-breaking tribunal, many staff here remain befuddled as to what caused former neighbours to turn so viciously, so violently, on each other.
They may never know - so they will simply continue to work towards trying to ensure that such brutality is never repeated.
The inspector of constabulary (HMICS) said services offered to some victims were "unacceptable."
The review said they lagged behind the rest of the UK, with many victims being examined in police stations.
The Scottish government said it was establishing a group to improve the responses to victims of rape or sexual assault.
The report, a review of forensic medical services provided to victims of sexual crime in Scotland, examined how victims of sexual crime receive medical attention while forensic evidence is also gathered for possible prosecution.
It said while there are committed and dedicated professionals working towards delivering high-quality forensic medical examinations for victims, there were "significant variations" across the country.
Assistant Inspector of Constabulary Gill Imery, who wrote the report, said more investment was needed to fund healthcare professionals, including forensic nurses and the premises and equipment used for forensic medical examinations.
She said: "In cases where victims of sexual crime seek support but are unsure whether they wish to report a crime to the police, they must have the option of a forensic medical examination to capture forensic evidence should they subsequently decide to make a report.
"It is imperative there is clarity around the process of securing and retaining forensic evidence to allow for investigation at a later stage if the victim subsequently chooses to disclose details of the crime."
Her report said the the priority of forensic medical examinations should be to address the immediate health needs and future recovery of patients, with the contribution to potential criminal justice proceedings being a secondary consideration.
HMICS praised facilities offered at the Archway sexual assault referral centre (SARC) in Glasgow which offered a good service to victims.
But it said the clinic was not available for significant periods overnight and at weekends.
And it said the Archway was the only SARC in Scotland, compared with 43 in England and Wales.
Louise Raphael, a retired detective superintendent who chaired an expert working group in 2013 to agree new standards for the provision of forensic examinations, said this was "an unacceptable inequality."
She said: "One of the problems has been that NHS boards have seen the matter as a criminal justice responsibility.
"But the treatment of victims, particularly follow-on support, is more important."
She said that although the health and justice secretaries had accepted the standards suggested by the working group, they had not issued minimum standards to NHS boards - and there was no audit or inspection process such as that in England.
Rape Crisis Scotland said around half of forensic examinations in sexual assault cases take place in police stations.
National co-ordinator, Sandy Brindley said: "Survivors also tell us of a lack of the most basic follow-up, for example the provision of emergency contraception.
"We hear of significant delays in examinations being provided, with people having to wait many hours, and in the worst cases days, for an examination, meaning they are unable to wash for considerable periods of time after being raped.
"There are particular issues for island communities, such as in Orkney and Shetland, where people generally have to travel to the mainland, with a police escort, to undergo an examination.
"Rape crisis workers on the islands tell us that this actively deters people from reporting sexual offences, as it significantly compromises their anonymity."
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "The current provision of services for victims of rape and sexual assault is provided by motivated and committed professionals but more needs to be done to create a consistently high standard of service across Scotland.
"We know these individuals need the very best care at a time of great trauma and, while a forensic examination may be necessary for evidential reasons, there is a need to ensure the response is first and foremost health focused and victim centred.
"I am grateful that the chief medical officer has agreed to convene a group of key experts to ensure NHS boards are in a position to meet new National Standards and to examine closely the concerns and recommendations made by HMICS."
The report said a lack of paediatric services in some areas meant children who have been sexually abused are having to travel significant distances to be medically examined.
And it said adolescents can fall between adult and child services and forensic medical examinations can be delayed in the west of Scotland if the Archway facility was unavailable.
The children's charity NSPCC welcomed the report but said it was vital that any work undertaken to address its recommendations focuses on child, as well as adult victims of sexual assaults and reflects their different needs, particularly emotional support.
Matt Forde, national head for NSPCC Scotland said: "Police Scotland statistics show that 1 in 5 recorded rapes, and two-thirds of recorded sexual assaults, are committed against children under 16.
"However, research soon to be published by NSPCC Scotland, shows that in most areas the majority of children under 12 or 13 have no access to sexual assault recovery services.
"Recovery services for young people do not exist in every local area and the younger the child victim, the fewer the services available to them."
British artists accounted for five of the top 10 selling albums last year, as the global music industry generated $15bn (£10.5bn).
Overall, revenues grew 3.2%, reversing a 0.4% decline in 2014.
And digital music overtook physical records as the primary source of income for the first time.
Downloads and streaming accounted for 45% of revenue, ahead of CD and vinyl on 39%. The remaining income was generated by royalty payments and licensing music to film, TV and video games.
"The most striking feature of the recovery is its global nature," said Stu Bergen, president of Warner Music, one of the world's three major labels.
He said streaming and social media meant music was being shared in unprecedented ways.
"We're seeing geographic boundaries being dissolved and artists breaking around the world with astonishing speed.
Mr Bergen cited the example of Danish band Lukas Graham, whose single 7 Years has become a global hit without the band needing to travel to promote it.
"I predict we'll see far more diversity and nationalities in the mainstream charts in the coming years," he told the BBC.
After years of uncertainty and confusion over digital music, streaming appears to have rescued the industry from decades of decline.
An estimated 68 million people worldwide now pay for a music subscription service, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) said, up from 41 million in 2014 and eight million when data was first compiled in 2010.
Helped by the spread of smartphones and a proliferation of services - including Spotify, Deezer, Tidal and Apple Music - streaming now represents 19% of the music industry's income, up from 14% in 2014.
In the US, 317 billion songs were streamed in 2015, while the UK figure was 25 billion.
The figures helped offset declines in both digital downloads and physical sales.
However, the music market is still worth significantly less than at the turn of the millennium, when revenues were $27.8bn (£19.4bn).
Sony Music chairman Edgar Berger told the BBC that, at the current rate of growth, it would take the music business "10 years to reach that market level" again.
"The music industry is performing way below its potential," he added.
The IFPI agrees there is a disparity between the amount of music being consumed online and the money being returned to artists, record labels and producers.
This difference - which the IFPI calls the "value gap" - has increased due to the growing popularity of music being streamed on services supported by advertisements, such as YouTube, SoundCloud and Daily Motion. They can claim exemption from normal rules about licensing when content is uploaded by users.
Mr Berger told the BBC such services which "comprise more than 900 million users, are generating only 4% of our revenues - that is a gigantic mis-match".
The IFPI said it would need intervention from policy-makers around the world to help turn the situation around.
In response to the IFPI's comments, YouTube's parent company, Google, told the BBC it was paying its way.
"To date, Google has paid out over $3bn (£2.1bn) to the music industry - and that number is growing significantly year on year," it said in a statement.
"Only about 20% of people are historically willing to pay for music. YouTube is helping artists and labels monetise the remaining 80% that were not previously monetised. The global advertising market is worth $200bn (£140bn). This is a tremendous opportunity."
The firm will split into a document technology company - that will include Xerox's traditional photocopiers - and a business process outsourcing company.
Mr Icahn has been pushing the company to make changes to its corporate structure to boost shareholder value.
Xerox's shares price rose nearly 6% on Friday following the announcement.
The company has been reviewing ways to boost its share value since October.
In a statement Xerox's chief executive Ursula Burns said, "I am confident that the extensive structural review we conducted over the last few months has produced the right path forward for our company."
Under the terms of the deal, Mr Icahn will get to name three of the nine directors on the board of the business process outsourcing (BPO) company.
"We strongly believe that an independent BPO company with fresh, focused leadership and best-in-class corporate governance will greatly enhance shareholder value," Mr Icahn said.
That company will focus on automating and simplifying business processes for clients to try to help them cut overheads.
The other company will handle document technology including sales of the photocopiers and scanners for which the company is famous.
Both firms will be listed on stock exchanges, but the names of the new companies and their leaderships has not yet been announced.
Xerox also said it would undertake a "strategic transformation program" that would save $2.4bn (£1.7bn) in three years.
Since its independence from Britain in 1962, the east African nation has endured a military coup, followed by a brutal military dictatorship which ended in 1979, disputed elections in 1980 and a five-year war that brought current President Yoweri Museveni to power in 1986.
The country has also had to contend with a brutal 20-year insurgency in the north, led by the Lord's Resistance Army.
While the country has won praise for its vigorous campaign against HIV/AIDS it has also attracted international attention for its hardening stance against the LGBT community.

President: Yoweri Museveni
Yoweri Museveni and his National Resistance Movement have ruled Uganda without interruption since seizing power in 1986.
He won the 2011 presidential elections after a 2005 constitutional amendment lifted presidential term limits, and went on to win again in 2016. The opposition and independent observers have complained about the fairness and transparency of these and earlier polls.
Mr Museveni has been credited with restoring relative stability and economic prosperity to Uganda following years of civil war and repression under former leaders Milton Obote and Idi Amin.
But he has also faced UN criticism for his role in the conflict in DR Congo. More recently, Uganda has been accused of aiding rebels there.
Uganda is a pioneer in the liberalisation of the media in Africa.
It boasts a vibrant media sector, with nearly 200 private radio stations and dozens of television stations and print outlets, although circulation numbers have declined in recent years.
Some key dates in Uganda's history:
1894 - Uganda declared a British protectorate.
1962 - Independence: Federalist constitution with Mutesa, King of Buganda as president and Milton Obote as prime minister.
1967-71 - Milton Obote seizes power in a coup and abolishes Uganda's tribal kingdoms.
1971-79 - Military leader Idi Amin seizes power - hundreds of thousands die during his rule.
1972 - Amin expels thousands of Ugandan Asians.
1978-79 - Uganda invades Tanzania but Tanzania retaliates, forcing Amin to flee the country.
1980-85 - Milton Obote returns to power but is deposed in a military coup.
1986 - Rebel leader Yoweri Museveni seizes power, heralding a period of stability and improved human rights.
1995 - New constitution legalises political parties but maintains ban on political activity.
2005 - Referendum endorses multi-party politics but lifts presidential term limits.
2008 - Crackdown on Lord's Resistance Army forces rebels to retreat from Uganda.

Malcolm Turnbull tabled his first response to the annual Closing the Gap report in Parliament on Wednesday.
The report tracks progress on targets to reduce inequality between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians.
Mr Turnbull said a concerted effort was needed as the Closing the Gap initiative's success rate was mixed.
"It is undeniable that progress against targets has been variable," he wrote in the report's introduction.
The report said a target to halve the gap in mortality rates for indigenous children under five within a decade (by 2018) was on track.
Smoking rates had reduced and the number of indigenous students finishing high school had almost doubled since the late 1990s, the report said.
But targets to halve the gaps in employment and life expectancy between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians were not on track.
Indigenous leaders have called for stronger engagement with communities in order to deliver the most appropriate policy.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Mick Gooda co-chairs the Aboriginal-led Close the Gap public awareness campaign that is separate to the government's Closing the Gap initiative, but shares its objectives of reducing inequality.
Mr Gooda told the BBC the government needed to focus on speaking to communities to ensure its policies would have an impact.
"Building relationships with communities takes time, [but] it seems the government would prefer to spend $1m developing a program that doesn't work than $1m building a relationship," he said.
Health services had always been a problem for indigenous communities, Mr Gooda said.
Language and cultural barriers, along with remoteness, made it challenging for some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to seek care until it was too late.
"If Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aren't going to hospital early to fix up things like chronic disease we may as well not have any services at all," he said.
Yawuru leader Patrick Dodson said indigenous communities did not have a buy-in to policies, and without proper participation Closing the Gap was "doomed to fail" or would have only a small impact.
"We're basically just changing the tablecloth on a table without really realising that the white ants are eating the legs out of the table, and we have to restructure the whole basis of our relationship," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Targets in the Closing the Gap initiative focus on differences between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians in key areas.
The Closing the Gap report calls for both political parties to make indigenous health a top priority going into the election, rumoured to be held later in the year.
The report also recommends including new targets to address the high indigenous rate of incarceration, a focus on disability support, and a national inquiry into racism and institutional racism in the health care system.
Prime Minister Turnbull has called for a doubling of efforts to build trust and develop respectful relationships in order to provide more effective "local solutions".
He also promoted his central theme of an "ideas boom", urging indigenous businesses and entrepreneurs to take advantage of government programs.
"Our greatest assets are walking around on top of the ground not underneath it. Valuable though all those minerals are. I don't short-change them but you and millions of other Australians like you are our best assets," he said on Tuesday.
About 3,000 took part in the X-runner mud run, which involved open water swimming, at the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham on Saturday.
One runner said she believed "poor quality water" had caused her illness.
X-runner said it was sorry to hear competitors had fallen ill but water test results were all "normal".
Samantha, who did not want to give her full name, said she started being sick on Monday morning and was forced to take days off work.
She suffered "horrendous" stomach cramps, back pain, headaches and fever, along with her friends who also took part.
After reading X-runner's Facebook page, she realised other people had also been taken ill in the days after the event.
Another competitor named Sarah said she and most of her friends who took part have been suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea.
She blamed the "water quality" for her illness and said she was "disappointed" with the organisers' response when she contacted them following medical advice.
"X-runner are telling us it is rare to be very poorly and only a few people are ill," she said.
"This is incorrect. Nine out of 11 of our team are suffering the same or similar symptoms."
She believes heavy rain on the morning of the race could have affected the water.
Another competitor, Jane Renwick, from Derbyshire, said five of the seven in her team were struck down.
She was unable to keep any food down for five days, only managing two biscuits on Friday morning.
"I've been so ill it's indescribable, just horrific. I've been to the doctors twice and I'm due to go again to have my blood taken for testing," she said.
"I came down with stomach cramps on Sunday evening and then in the early hours of Monday I was violently ill. I've never been so ill in all my life - and I'm fit."
She added it felt as if "someone didn't do their job properly" and would be speaking to the organisers.
An X-runner spokesman said about 25 people contacted them after experiencing "a mild stomach upset".
He said this can occur when swimming in open water and had advised competitors of the risk beforehand.
The statement added: "We are sorry to hear that some people have been poorly, especially as [water] test results came back within the normal operating parameters, and recommend that any participant experiencing similar symptoms consult their GP."
Brian Taylor, chair of the trust that runs the National Water Sports Centre, said: "Our facilities use water-supplied from a variety of natural sources including surface streams and the River Trent and are similar to those found in UK coastal sea waters.
"These waters naturally have fluctuating levels of bacteria and are therefore tested regularly to safeguard the health of our customers. The results of these tests prior to the event were within normal parameters."
What did entrants have to do?
Wye Valley NHS Trust said its "wish list" included redeveloping 75-year-old huts at Hereford County Hospital.
Originally introduced as temporary accommodation during World War Two, they are today used as inpatient wards.
A trust spokesman said the extent of the work would depend on how much money the Department of Health would allow them to borrow.
Wye Valley has appointed Keir as its main partner to deliver the project, which is also expected to see extra beds introduced.
Proposals include building a new intensive care unit and outpatient theatres, as well as relocating endoscopy and day surgery facilities.
The hospital trust was put in special measures in October after being rated "inadequate" by the Care Quality Commission.
Medical care and A&E at Hereford's County Hospital attracted particular criticism.
Speaking in February, chief executive Richard Beeken said the hospital needed 30 to 40 more beds to help it cope with demand.
The inquest into the IRA murder of 10 Protestant workmen, 41 years ago, is continuing at Belfast Coroners' Court.
Known only as MoD witness two, the retired soldier spoke from behind a blue curtain and read from a statement
He outlined the security situation around Bessbrook barracks.
Witness two also outlined his role in the Royal Scots Guard during a four-month tour in 1976.
He also made reference to family concerns that the Army had been told not to go out on patrol on the night of the atrocity.
The witness said he could categorically state that this was not the case and that, at no time had soldiers remained in the barracks in such situations. He said the Army would not tolerate any "no-go" areas.
The court heard that the mother of John McConville, one of the 10 killed, worked in the kitchens of the Bessbrook barracks and had been told by an officer a few years later that the Army had been told not to go out on the night of the attack.
In response, MoD witness two said every person would have been deployed at the time, saying such a claim "just doesn't stack up".
The witness described his role as an operations manager at Bessbrook barracks.
He said he was an implementer of Army strategy, not the planner.
He told the court that prior to the Kingsmills shootings, there had been several tit-for-tat killings, including a bombing of a pub in Camlough and the killing of the Reavey brothers the day before.
He described the security situation at the time as "very intense" saying that the Army had deployed a large number of soldiers on the ground.
In his statement, MoD witness two also made reference to Robert Nairac, an Army officer abducted and murdered while on an undercover operation in South Armagh in 1977.
He said he had never met Robert Nairac.
The witness said he had checked with intelligence records and they showed that the officer had never visited Bessbrook Barracks.
When asked by a barrister representing one of the families if he was saying under oath that he had no knowledge of Captain Robert Nairac, he replied: "I have no knowledge of Robert Nairac full stop.
"I have never met him and don't know him".
Diane Barlow was caring for Sean Turner when he suffered a cardiac arrest at Bristol Children's Hospital.
Sean, from Warminster in Wiltshire, died in March 2012 from a brain haemorrhage - six weeks after he underwent corrective heart surgery.
His parents say they begged doctors and nurses on the ward to help.
Giving evidence at Avon Coroner's Court, Mrs Barlow said she had made a mistake when changing Sean's chest drains.
She said she had not created an underwater seal, but insisted she noticed it immediately and quickly rectified it.
She then failed to make a note of the error in Sean's patient records.
She said her mistake in the changing the fluid drains could have led to a condition which could have caused part or all of a lung to collapse.
But a chest X-ray showed that had not happened in Sean's case.
"I think in the stress of the day I didn't put it down on the nursing notes," she told the hearing.
"I think I had alerted my nurse in charge, the outreach nurse and the medical staff."
She added that she "should have recorded it and didn't".
Mrs Barlow said her role as a cardiac nurse specialist also included non-clinical work and she worked one shift a month on Ward 32 caring for sick children.
She said that because of Sean's parents' concerns and after observing his deterioration she asked for him to be examined by other nurses and doctors.
Mrs Barlow said Sean had a swollen leg, was pale in colour, had a restless night and had also vomited.
The hearing was told Sean suffered the cardiac arrest shortly after his femoral line, which was inserted in his groin, was removed by a nurse.
The boy's parents, Steve and Yolande Turner, maintain that Mrs Barlow removed the femoral line on her own while Sean was being cradled in his father's arms.
Hospital protocols say the procedure should be carried out by two nurses while the patient is lying horizontal.
But Mrs Barlow rejected Mr and Mrs Turner's evidence and said she assisted as the nurse in charge of the ward, Sue Conner, removed Sean's femoral line.
Also present, she said, was outreach nurse John Daly, and Dr Guido Pieles, a cardiac registrar.
When asked if she was mistaken about her recollection, Mrs Barlow she said Sean was lying on the bed being comforted by his father.
"My recollection is that Sue Conner removed the femoral line and I assisted her and dad was comforting Sean and John Daly went to get a dressing from the dressing room," she said.
Adam Korn, the barrister representing the Turner family, asked if it was possible she was mistaken.
Mrs Barlow shrugged her shoulders in reply.
Sue Conner, the nurse in charge, said she could not remember whether she was present when the femoral line was removed from Sean.
The inquest continues.
The Canadian led the Flyers to sixth place in the Elite League last season and a sixth successive play-off spot.
But they missed out on the final-four weekend after a two-leg quarter-final defeat by Belfast Giants.
Dutiaume admitted he had a big decision to make with the club reconsidering its long-term future.
However, the Flyers announced last week that they will be in the Elite League next season.
"The club had to take a step back at the end of last season, and consider their long-term future and the options available to them, both in this league and in other leagues," said the 43-year-old, who arrived in Kirkcaldy as a player in 1998 before taking over as a coach in 2005.
"I also wanted to take my time to consider my position and my future. To represent this club for almost a quarter of its existence is a huge honour, and something I am extremely proud of.
"When I spoke with the directors regarding the future of the club and the season ahead, I wanted to bring up some of my own concerns.
"I also wanted to express my desire to ensure we get more information out there in the public domain and that we all work hard to be a more engaging and transparent organisation.
"I get that fans are frustrated right now, but we are not able to sign a whole team in such a short period of time.
"We are in advanced talks with a couple of returning guys and I would like to think that we will be in a position to share that information very soon with our fans."
Many communities are still cut off and remain without phones or other communications in the country's worst disaster in 80 years.
The so-called Lifeline service is jointly produced by the Nepali Service and the BBC's international development charity, BBC Media Action.
A daily radio programme offers advice such as how to make dirty water drinkable, how to use an open toilet and stop disease spreading - as well as how to ignore false rumours about aftershocks and further earthquakes.
A chat app service on Viber and regular Facebook posts have also been launched.
It's a mix of general public safety messages and direct audience contributions.
The programme interviews a doctor who advises listeners to treat themselves for minor injuries rather than go to the overcrowded hospitals.
It also advises families sleeping outdoors to keep an eye on their empty houses in case of burglary.
And there is also a call to be wary of "hawkers" or unscrupulous bus agents who are hiking the fares for buses that will never run.
Chandra Kanta Marahatta from Pokhara gets in touch with the programme.
"I ask the international community to deliver their aid directly to the affected people and places instead of giving them to the government officials for distribution," he said.
"I think it's the only way the funds can be put to proper use."
Meanwhile, Mohan Poudel from Butwal in western Nepal, is critical of the scare-mongering.
"Thank you to all the foreigners who are praying for the well-being of the Nepali people and sending aid," he said.
"Shame on those who are spreading false rumours and selling essential goods on the black market."
Dr Abdul Haq Ansari, from Birat Medical college, Biratnagar in eastern Nepal, is worried by the wider political situation.
"The whole country is in such a dire situation at the moment," he says.
"Why aren't political parties who claim to be doing politics in the name of the people directing their cadres to help the very same people who are in greatest need?"
Normally, the BBC Nepali radio news programme is broadcast via 250 FM partner stations but many of them were damaged in the earthquake so the service is also being distributed on shortwave radio.
The programme has been doubled in duration to 60 minutes.
While radio is a vital way to reach remote communities, the BBC is also going digital to reach as many people as possible.
The Lifeline service has also been launched in Nepali and English on the chat app Viber as well as regular updates being posted on the BBC Nepali Facebook page.
One of the people working on the radio programme is Jitendra Raut, a senior producer with the BBC Nepali service in Kathmandu.
He fled his sixth-floor flat when the earthquake struck and has been living with his in-laws as well as working around the clock.
"We are motivated by a sense of duty. We know a lot of people in the worst hit areas only have us, the BBC, for the lifesaving information we broadcast," he said.
"This is what is bringing us to work every day since Saturday. I am putting on a brave face in front of my colleagues but I know they know that I'm pretending. We didn't come into journalism to run away at times like this."
And it's a similar story from Mona Laczo, the BBC Media Action country director in Nepal. The team is working from the garden of her house in Kathmandu.
"There is a lot of misinformation and the team really want to ensure that they are able to share correct and timely information," she said.
"All of our team members hold a strong commitment to bringing lifeline information to people affected by the earthquake. As a team, this is what we have done before the earthquake and this is what we are even more determined to do now."
Sanjaya Dhakal, a producer/correspondent with the BBC Nepali service in Kathmandu, echoes this.
"I've had three consecutive nights spent sleeplessly in the open space in front of my house. People are afraid to go back to their home due to the aftershocks."
BBC Media Action has been working in Nepal since 2007. It has focused on child and maternal health, political accountability and the role of the media.
But it has also carried out preparedness training for such a disaster, training local journalists and providing them with equipment in anticipation of just such an emergency.
The BBC has broadcast a Nepali service since 1969.

The Shrewsbury Fields Forever Festival was due to take place at The Quarry with headliners Dizzee Rascal and the Happy Mondays performing.
However, last week the town council refused permission for the event to be staged.
Organiser Forever Invasion Ltd said it would go into voluntary liquidation.
Insolvency firm Irwin UK said it did not know the exact number of tickets that had been sold but understood it to be "several hundred".
Forever Invasion director, Dene Edwards, said the insolvency firm had been hired to contact creditors including ticket holders.
He also advised ticket holders to contact their card holders to see if they could get refunds.
He said he would be contacting the town council to get more detail on the reasons for its decision.
The council had said that "insufficient information was available to confirm the booking."

The event had already been postponed from the year before as organisers said they could not find a venue.
Councillor Jon Tandy said: "Our focus has always been to ensure quality events which are safe for those who attend, that show good value for money and that leave those event-goers feeling they have had a good time.
"To do that we require good event planning. In this case I am afraid we couldn't be assured that those values could be achieved."
Forever Invasion Ltd is also the company behind the Shrewsbury International Comic Art Festival which went ahead in July.
Jordan Thomas, 22, was fatally injured when he was shot on 21 December.
Asif Yousaf, 32, of Violet Bank Road, Sheffield, is charged with his murder and the attempted murder of a 27-year-old man, who was also in the car.
No pleas were entered and Mr Yousaf was remanded in custody to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 12 January.
Another man, aged 25, arrested in connection with the shooting has been freed on bail.
The two men were both arrested on Christmas Day.
Mr Thomas died in hospital after the shooting in Derek Dooley Way at about 22:15 GMT.
Mr Ferguson, who was driving the Ford Mondeo in which Mr Thomas was a passenger, was seriously injured but has since been released from hospital.
It said it handled a total of 1,606,168 travellers during 2016, an increase of 154,375 passengers on the 2015 total of 1,451,792 passengers - a rise of 10.6%.
Hial operates sites in the Highlands, Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland, Argyll and Dundee Airport.
Inverness Airport is one of the busiest of its 11 airports.
Its connections to airports in London and continental Europe helped Inverness to achieve a figure of 796,854 passengers in 2016 - 118,171 more than in 2015.
However, Hial said passenger numbers declined at Wick John O'Groats and Stornoway in Lewis due to reduced demand from energy sector services to and from Aberdeen.
Campbeltown recorded a "narrow fall" in annual passenger numbers of 1.1%.
Hial managing director Inglis Lyon said: "We are delighted to report that the overall passenger numbers continue to rise.
"This clearly illustrates the value of our services to the communities they serve and proves there is strong demand for ever greater connectivity to and from the Highlands and Islands.
"Our regional airports have a key role to play in strengthening Scotland's economy and offering great choice for leisure and business passengers."
He added: "We will continue to invest in our airports, work in partnership with the airlines and destination airports, and further develop our customer service as we attract new business and look to cement our growth in the future."
Anthony McIntyre was the lead researcher on Boston College's oral history project on the Troubles.
He told BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight programme he is exposed to the same risk of arrest facing other participants in the project.
Mr McIntyre, who is now an academic, was jailed for murder in 1977,
He told Spotlight reporter Declan Lawn his own activities were included with more than 20 other former IRA members.
Participants thought the interviews would remain confidential, but detectives in Northern Ireland investigating the 1972 disappearance and murder of mother-of-10 Jean McConville obtained a United States court order giving them access to the material concerning her death.
Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams was arrested on 30 April and questioned about the IRA killing on the basis of some of those interviews.
Mr Adams, who denies involvement in the murder, was released without charge four days later.
The arrest has fuelled controversy about the Boston College oral history project, mainly because the taped interviews were not afforded the legal protections that participants expected.
Mr McIntyre and Ed Moloney, the journalist who managed the project, have clashed with Boston College about whether the project had legal safeguards.
Mr McIntyre said the fact that he gave an interview himself demonstrated that he believed the material would be shielded from police investigations.
He said his interview has not been given to the PSNI.
"I am one of the people who was interviewed," he said.
"I am on tape, I am saying no more. I won't go into any detail, but I exposed myself to exactly the same risks as anybody else was exposed to.
"I did not lead people into a project that I wasn't prepared to take the same degree of exposure.
"Why would I put my own interviews in Boston College if I thought the police were going to maybe at some point look at them for to prosecute me?
"Self-interest alone would have prevented me."
Spotlight is available to watch on the BBC's iPlayer until 13 May 2014
They were among 120 people who were deliberately pushed from a boat into the sea by the smuggler who apparently feared arrest.
Some 27 survivors were found on a beach by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on a routine patrol.
Twenty-two are missing while the rest have moved on, the IOM said.
It added in a statement that the average age of the Somali and Ethiopian passengers on the boat appeared to have been 16. They had been hoping to reach countries in the Gulf via war-torn Yemen.
"The survivors told our colleagues on the beach that the smuggler pushed them to the sea, when he saw some 'authority types' near the coast," explained Laurent de Boeck, the IOM Yemen Chief of Mission.
The smuggler has already returned to Somalia to pick up more migrants to bring them to Yemen on the same route, they told the IOM.
"This is shocking and inhumane," Mr de Boeck said. "The suffering of migrants on this migration route is enormous. Too many young people pay smugglers with the false hope of a better future."
Despite conflict and a dire humanitarian situation, Yemen is still seen by many Africans as a gateway to the rich Gulf states or Europe, and thousands make their way there every year in crowded boats.
Around 55,000 migrants have left the Horn of Africa to come to Yemen so far this year, more than half of them under the age of 18 and a third thought to be female, the IOM estimates.
Many others also try to reach Europe via Libya and the Mediterranean Sea.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.
The Drovers and Quins were level at 6-6 at the break, but three tries after the break brought them victory.

The unmanned robotic craft attached itself to the Zvezda module on the rear of the platform at 22:31 GMT.
The ship is delivering new supplies of fuel, food, water, air and equipment to the ISS's astronauts.
ATV is totally automatic and used its own computerised systems and sensors to find the station in orbit and make the connection.
At 20 tonnes, the freighter is the biggest ship servicing the station now that the US shuttles have been retired.
Mission managers, based in Toulouse, France, oversaw the final manoeuvres but had no need to intervene.
Astronauts Andre Kuipers and Oleg Kononenko were inside Zvezda when the vehicle made its final approach. They too stood ready to order the truck to a safe distance if any anomalous behaviour was observed, but the docking proceeded extremely smoothly.
In fact, the contact, which occurred over the American Samoas in the Pacific, was so gentle the ISS crew reported they hardly felt it.
The station's astronauts will need to scrub the air inside the ship before entering.
Once given the all clear, the six station residents can start to move the freighter's supplies across into the main body of the 390km-high (242 mile) orbiting post.
This ATV is the third such craft to be sent to the station by the European Space Agency (Esa), and has been dubbed Edoardo Amaldi in honour of the 20th Century Italian physicist who co-discovered slow neutrons, an essential step to nuclear power.
The two previous vehicles flew in 2008 and 2011.
The trucks are part of the barter arrangement that Esa has with its international partners on the ISS project.
Instead of handing over cash to cover station running costs, Europe has taken on the major responsibility of platform logistics.
In return, it gets residency rights for its astronauts - one individual to spend six months in orbit, every couple of years.
Dutchman Kuipers is the current beneficiary of that trade-in-kind.
The total cargo mass of ATV-Edoardo Amaldi - if you add in the fuel the ship uses for its in-orbit manoeuvres - is just over 6.5 tonnes.
This includes the largest ever load of dry cargo - 2.2 tonnes. Dry cargo covers everything from clothing and new toothbrushes to the Lego kits that astronauts use in the education demonstrations they beam to Earth.
ATV-Edoardo Amaldi should stay docked to the ISS until September. It will then be filled with station rubbish and sent into a destructive dive over the South Pacific.
European space ministers will meet later this year to decide on a successor to the ATV programme which is due to end after the fifth truck in the series visits the station in 2014.
One suggestion is that the technologies in the ship be used to push an American-developed manned capsule to destinations beyond the ISS.
Another idea is that those technologies be put into a new European multi-role space tug. This could perform tasks such as removing redundant satellites from orbit.

Foreign Minister John Baird told the BBC gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau was "certainly radicalised", but was not on a list of high-risk individuals.
Zehaf-Bibeau killed a soldier at Ottawa's war memorial before being shot dead in the nearby parliament building.
Police have released video showing how the gunman stormed parliament.
It has also emerged that Prime Minister Stephen Harper hid in a cupboard in parliament for about 15 minutes during Wednesday's attack as MPs sharpened flagpoles to use as spears against the gunman.
Mr Baird told the BBC there were no substantiated claims yet that Zehaf-Bibeau was associated with Islamic State.
Mr Baird said he was "tremendously concerned about the number of Canadians who are radicalised and are fighting in Syria or Iraq, but we don't have any evidence to link the two at this stage".
"Reports suggest that well in excess of 100 Canadians have gone to fight jihad in the Middle East and that's a huge concern," he said.
Mr Baird also said Zehaf-Bibeau could have done much more damage than he did.
"For several minutes it was complete horror, complete terror, we didn't know whether the door was going to be kicked in, whether there was one or a group of people," he said.
Daniel Lang, chairman of the Senate national defence and security committee, told the BBC: "It was an ordeal I would not recommend anybody endure - there was just a wall's difference between where we were and where they were."
He said the incident had "shown our vulnerability and the reality that life here has changed dramatically".
Mr Lang said most parliamentarians had been calling for greater security and "this event proves there should be".
More details have emerged of the attack.
One source told the Globe and Mail that MPs had flanked the doors of their meeting room, preparing to attack the gunman with sharpened flagpoles.
"These guys were up there holding these spears ready to impale anyone who came in," the source said.
Mr Harper was placed in a cupboard - described as little more than a "cubbyhole" in the Centre Block after the gunfire rang out, the report said.
The video released by police shows various phases of Wednesday's attack.
The gunman is first shown hijacking a minister's car, then speeding off towards Centre Block, pursued by police.
At Centre Block he left the stolen car and ran into the building, exchanging gunfire with House of Commons security officers and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers.
He was ultimately shot dead by Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, a former senior RCMP officer, who received a standing ovation in parliament on Thursday when he resumed his duties.
Zehaf-Bibeau's mother, Susan Bibeau, told the Associated Press that she had lunch with her son last week - their first meeting in five years.
She said her son seemed lost and "did not fit in".
"Can you ever explain something like this?" she said. "We are sorry."
At a news conference on Thursday, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said Zehaf-Bibeau was not linked to the Muslim convert who on Monday killed a Canadian soldier in Quebec in a hit-and-run attack.
However, Zehaf-Bibeau was trying to get a passport to travel to Syria.
Mr Paulson said: "I think the passport figured prominently in his motives."
The suspect: A trail of petty crime
Loganair said an engine fire warning light was activated on the Saab 2000 on Wednesday evening.
The engine was shut down and the aircraft - carrying 46 passengers and three crew - landed safely.
Fire crews from Lerwick and Sandwick attended but no traces of fire or any other damage was found.
A Loganair spokesman said: "Flight BE6780 carrying 46 passengers and three crew declared a May Day shortly before landing in Sumburgh last night.
"The captain received a fire caution indication from the port-side engine, which was shut down as is standard operating procedure.
"Passengers were briefed by the crew ahead of landing and the aircraft touched down safely.
"Emergency crews met the Saab 2000 aircraft to carry out an external inspection of the engine on the runway as is procedure. No traces of fire or any other damage were found."
Students climbed on to the roof of the Welsh-language hall of residence, Pantycelyn, last June to protest its proposed closure.
The Pantycelyn Project Board was set up to secure its future and its report on Friday has tabled two options for more than £8m in improvements.
The university's council will discuss the report in its meeting next month.
Protestors have accused the university of not valuing the language enough.
The university had recommended the halls close to make them "fit for purpose".
The report outlines options for developing Welsh-medium student accommodation in Pantycelyn with 199 rooms, including 114 with en suite facilities or the preferred choice - 200 en suite rooms.
The report calls on the university council to commit to renovating and reopening Pantycelyn by September 2019.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) said animal abusers were "a serious threat to the whole community".
The attack happened at Danesmoor Nursing Home in Haslingden, Lancashire, on Tuesday night.
The men were seen on CCTV throwing items at the animals and chasing them.
The alpacas - named Bill and Ben - are brothers and have lived at the home for five years.
Peta is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of "the callous persons" who attacked the alpacas.
"It's imperative that any community faced with a sadistic and violent act such as this take measures to find the culprits and bring them to justice," said Peta UK spokesperson Elisa Allen.
"Animal abusers are a danger to everyone - they take their issues out on whoever is available to them, human or non-human, and must be caught before they act again."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Lancashire Police.
The 14-time major winner only returned to action in December after 15 months out following two back operations.
Woods, 41, struggled in the first round in Dubai as he shot a five-over 77.
His agent Mark Steinberg said the American suffered a back spasm on Thursday night but was told by Woods that it was not "the nerve pain that's kept him out for so long".
Steinberg explained: "He feels terrible for the tournament. He wants to be here. He can move around. He can't make a full rotation on the swing.
"The fact he feels it's not the nerve pain is very encouraging for him. He's had some spasms before, no doubt about it.
"The short-term prognosis, he thinks, hopefully will be strong, based on the fact it's not that nerve pain I just alluded to.
"He doesn't have the strongest back in the world so it's probably easier to spasm because of the issues he's had."
Woods had won the Dubai tournament twice before, but was 12 shots behind overnight leader Sergio Garcia after day one.
"I wasn't in pain at all. I was just trying to hit shots and I wasn't doing a very good job," Woods said after his opening round.
Woods' first return to competitive action after his lengthy lay-off came at the Hero World Challenge - an 18-man tournament in the Bahamas - in December and he finished 15th at the PGA Tour event.
Afterwards, he expressed concerns over the physical challenge of being scheduled to play four full-field tournaments over the next five weeks.
His next outing came at the PGA Tour's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines where a first round 76 and level-par second round of 72 meant he missed the cut.
The former world number one's next two tournaments were to be the Genesis Open at Riviera from 16-19 February and the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens from 23-26 February but his participation now appears in doubt.
Woods, who has won 79 titles on the PGA Tour, has not won a tournament anywhere since 2013, while his title drought in the major championships dates back to 2008.
Meanwhile, play in Dubai was abandoned on Friday because of high winds which blew trees over and whipped sand across the course. Round two is scheduled to restart on Saturday morning.
South Africa's George Coetzee had completed eight holes of his second round as he moved into the lead on nine under, while Garcia was one shot behind having completed five holes.
It is a responsibility she says she has cherished - but it is not a responsibility that her son and heir will inherit automatically.
While Prince Charles is destined to be head of state of 16 countries, he is reliant on Commonwealth leaders wanting him to replace his mother, and when the time comes other candidates could emerge as potential challengers.
We now know that the Queen sent her most senior and most trusted adviser, Sir Christopher Geidt, to Australia in February 2013 to seek to avoid a contest.
He spoke with the country's then prime minister - a republican, Julia Gillard - in Adelaide in a meeting that lasted half an hour.
Sir Christopher, a man who abhors publicity, had flown there in secret to press the case for the Queen's eldest son to both succeed his mother as King of the UK and Australia, and as head of an organisation which contains 30% of the world's population.
Ms Gillard was the then chair of the Commonwealth, and she was a receptive audience.
A month later in March 2013, she paid tribute to the "distinguished" service of the Queen as head of the Commonwealth.
Ms Gillard went on to tell the Australian parliament: "The institution of the head of the Commonwealth, standing as it does above individual governments, has been an asset of the Commonwealth since its foundation, and we need not be reticent about its future.
"For Australia's part, I am sure the Queen's successor as monarch will one day serve as head of the Commonwealth with the same distinction as her Majesty has done."
Three years ago I wrote on this website that this was a clear and striking statement indicating that Prince Charles would be the next head of the Commonwealth.
I didn't know then what had been going on behind the scenes.
I now know, because of a recent speech Julia Gillard delivered on the future of the Commonwealth.
She told her audience in London: "I would not want you to think this was some simple act of colonial subservience. I did see wisdom in it."
Ms Gillard also drew attention to what was said by the UK government about Sir Christopher when he received one of his two knighthoods in 2014: "He has brought to this key role a new approach to constitutional matters, including at the time of the formation of the coalition government, the preparation for the transition to a change of reign and relations with the Commonwealth."
Responding to the former prime minister's account of the 2013 talks in Adelaide, Buckingham Palace said there was nothing unusual about the private secretary meeting the chair of the Commonwealth in advance of a Commonwealth Heads of Government summit.
A spokesman said Sir Christopher wished to inform Ms Gillard in person that the Queen would miss that year's summit in Sri Lanka, and would be represented by her eldest son.
But Professor Philip Murphy, director of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, told the BBC it was "worrying for the Commonwealth" that this issue was being decided behind closed doors.
"There needs to be a proper and open debate about the future of the headship and about whether, in the 21st century, a British hereditary monarch would be a suitable symbol for the Commonwealth."
All of this matters, of course, because Prince Charles won't automatically take on the symbolic Commonwealth role. The heads of government of the 53 member countries will have to decide once the prince becomes King.

The 22-year-old French Open winner, who lost last year's final to Serena Williams, lost 6-3 6-2 on Court One.
It is a second big scalp for Cepelova in as many years at Wimbledon, after knocking out world number three Simona Halep in the first round in 2015.
The 23-year-old will face Czech 29th seed Lucie Safarova in the third round.
"I am so happy. I am very surprised, I did not expect two sets," Cepelova told BBC Sport.
"I have beaten some great players and I am very happy with this."
Fifth seed Halep also reached the third round with a straight-sets win over Italy's Francesca Schiavone.
The Romanian 24-year-old, a semi-finalist in 2014, needed little more than an hour to beat the 111th-ranked 36-year-old 6-1 6-1 and will meet Dutch 26th seed Kiki Bertens next after the 24-year-old beat Germany's Mona Barthel.
American ninth seed Madison Keys, 21, also progressed on day four, beating Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens 6-4 4-6 6-3. She faces the winner of the match between Italy's Sara Errani and France's Alize Cornet.
Five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams progressed to the third round with victory in three sets over qualifier Maria Sakkari.
The eighth seeded American won 7-5 4-6 6-3 in two hours and 24 minutes against the Greek 20-year-old on Court 18.
The 36-year-old will play Russian 29th seed Darya Kasatkina for a place in the last 16.
Sakkari was aged four when Williams won the first of her Wimbledon titles in 2000 and, despite a nervy start, the 115-ranked qualifier put up a stern test for the seven-time Grand Slam winner out on the smallest of the venue's show courts.
Barring defeat by an unranked Kim Clijsters at the 2009 US Open, Williams has not lost to a player ranked outside the world's top 100 at a Grand Slam this century, but was broken three times in the second set.
She appeared fatigued at times against Sakkari, who was attempting to become the first Greek woman to reach the third round at a major since 2005, and incurred a time violation on her serve in the final set.
But eventually the quality and experience of Williams, the oldest woman in the main draw, proved decisive as she recorded her 78th win at Wimbledon - two matches behind sister Serena's tally.

American Sloane Stephens returned to finish her first-round match against China's Shuai Peng.
The 23-year-old 18th seed won 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 in one hour and 29 minutes, as former world number 14 Peng, 30, racked up 23 unforced errors on Court Five.
Peng, a women's doubles winner in 2013, has dropped to 264 in the world since suffering a back injury last year.
Stephens will next face Luxembourg's world number 126 Mandy Minella.
Minella beat Anna Tatishvili in the first round, winning the opening set 7-5 before the American retired at 3-0 down in the second.

Mr Izzard was walking with thousands of March for Europe demonstrators along Whitehall on Saturday when his hat was taken.
The comedian gave chase in high heels and retrieved his headwear with the help of police.
David Czerwonko, 26, of Clitherow Road, Brentford, has been charged with theft.
He was bailed until 19 September when he will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court, police said.
The beret has since been taken away by police as evidence.
The comedian had addressed crowds in Parliament Square during the event.
Protests were also held in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Oxford, Cambridge and Bristol, calling for the UK to strengthen its ties to the continent following the Brexit vote.
The United States businessman's organisation brought Doonbeg resort from the receivers.
Mr Trump issued a statement revealing the resort would be renamed the Trump International Golf Links, Ireland.
He said Doonbeg was an already terrific property that would soon be unparalleled and have the highest standards of luxury.
Speaking from New York later, Mr Trump said he was switching his focus to Ireland after a Scottish judge rejected his legal action against a wind energy project off the Aberdeenshire coast, which he claimed would spoil the view from his luxury golf course there.
"We will appeal this decision, and in the meantime we will be focusing all of our investment and energy towards our new acquisition on the Atlantic Ocean in Ireland," he said.
Police said the incident happened after three men entered a flat on Northland Road in the city during the early hours of Saturday.
They said a man and woman were assaulted, with the man being struck on the face with a gun.
The men escaped with cash, a hold-all with Christmas presents and two phones.
Police said the gun was later recovered.
A court official confirmed that the papers were lodged, although no date has yet been set for a hearing.
Mr Assange, 39, denies three allegations of sexual assault and one of rape last August in Stockholm.
The extradition ruling was made last month at Belmarsh Magistrates' Court.
Following the extradition ruling at the south London court, Mr Assange criticised the European arrest warrant system and said he had "always known" he would have to appeal against the decision.
The ruling against the Australian came as a result of "a European arrest warrant system run amok", he claimed.
"There was no consideration during this entire process as to the merit of the allegations made against me, no consideration or examination of even the complaints made in Sweden and of course we have always known we would appeal," said Mr Assange.
It is not yet known whether a hearing will take place at the High Court before the Easter break. | For nearly two decades, an unassuming building in The Hague has been quietly creating history.

The England international, who has been linked with a move to Tottenham, has not trained for several days but Koeman did not put a timeframe on his return.
The 23-year-old has one year left on his contract at Goodison Park but has failed to sign a new deal.
"He stopped training last Monday, it looks like the hamstring," Koeman said.
"But we need to do more tests today and tomorrow to know exactly what the injury is."
Speaking ahead of their Europa League qualifier with Hajduk Split on Thursday, Koeman added there was "no update" on speculation regarding Barkley's future.
Asked if the midfielder was in his plans this season, Koeman added: "I will wait until the end of August."
Koeman said last week there had been no offers for the 23-year-old and has not ruled out him staying at the club.
Meanwhile the club are set to announce the signing of Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson for a reported £45m.
The 27-year old passed a medical at the club earlier on Wednesday, Koeman said at the news conference.
"I have seen him in blue but I don't know if all the paperwork is done," he added.
Not all DUP politicians are Sabbatarians, but enough are to make it party policy to avoid being seen to negotiate on a Sunday.
It was no coincidence that a DUP statement effectively denying that any final deal with Theresa May had been reached was published at midnight exactly, not one minute past.
As UK voters try to find out what the DUP stands for, there's been an understandable emphasis on their opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage and the outspoken views of some of their representatives denying man made climate change or espousing creationism.
However, as the former DUP minister Alastair Ross pointed out on BBC Radio 5 Live on Sunday, the party encompasses a range of views on these issues.
So far as the discussions with Theresa May are concerned, the moral arguments are likely to be a red herring, even though they create an uncomfortable backdrop for many more liberal-minded Tories.
Instead the DUP will concentrate on bread and butter politics.
That means inward investment in Northern Ireland and more local infrastructure spending.
Although to the right on many moral questions, the DUP's economic approach is populist.
Many of its 292,000 voters are working class, so the party opposed the Conservative welfare benefit cuts and its most recent manifesto includes a pledge to defend the triple lock on pensions and the winter fuel allowance.
Expect it to push these arguments.
DUP MPs were some of the most enthusiastic Brexiteers. But when it comes to its practical implementation, the DUP leader Arlene Foster signed a joint letter with the late Martin McGuinness which put her very much on the soft end of the Brexit spectrum.
This included a call for flexibility on the Irish border, ease of trade with EU member states and access to both unskilled and highly skilled European labour.
Since the DUP-Conservative discussions began, some senior Labour figures involved in the peace process such as former Northern Ireland Secretaries Lord Peter Hain and Shaun Woodward, have expressed concern that Mrs May is abandoning the "rigorous impartiality" which both the British and Irish governments signed up to in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
Their argument is that this will undermine any attempts to restore the power-sharing executive at Stormont, which collapsed at the start of the year as a result of a row over a controversial and expensive renewable heating scheme.
Prior to the election, the Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire was already facing criticism from Irish nationalists about his alleged lack of impartiality regarding dealing with the legacy of Northern Ireland's troubles.
That led to a senior civil servant taking over the chairing of much of the talks.
But Conservatives argue there's nothing in the Good Friday Agreement which says they can't be in favour of maintaining the UK.
David Cameron frequently declared he was a "passionate unionist" and in a failed electoral experiment even stood joint candidates with Northern Ireland's smaller unionist party, the Ulster Unionists, back in 2010.
The latest rapprochement with the DUP to some extent continues that approach.
Sinn Féin has accused the DUP of betraying the people of Northern Ireland by propping up the Tories and predicted any arrangement "will be transitory and end in tears".
If the DUP shopping list contains items like changing the current definition of a troubles victim (which includes perpetrators) or protecting army veterans and former police officers from prosecution for troubles offences, that will seriously annoy republicans.
But more funding to blunt the local impact of Brexit might be appreciated across the board.
How long any deal will last has to be open to question. But expect the DUP to be canny and to enjoy their moment in the sun.
After endless rounds of talks, if there's one thing Northern Ireland politicians know all about it's how to negotiate.

The Labour leader said he was not "one of the doom-mongers" who thought new technology would "inevitably herald an era of mass unemployment".
But he argued that adapting the UK for the jobs of the future "can't simply be left to the market".
A recent report suggested robots could affect 30% of British jobs by 2030.
The PwC study estimated that nearly a third of existing jobs in the UK were potentially under threat from automation, compared with 38% in the US and 21% in Japan, with manufacturing and retail at the greatest risk.
"Technological change, from automation to decarbonisation, means many jobs and industries will disappear or shrink in the coming years and decades," Mr Corbyn told business leaders in London.
"At every stage of economic and industrial history, jobs, industries and skills have been lost, replaced and transformed.
"But when that happens at huge social cost, as it did for example in the very early days of the industrial revolution... people in desperation opposed mechanisation and opposed the bringing in of machines because they got no benefit from it."
He added: "We can't simply leave it to the market."
Instead, the public sector should "work with business to manage the social and economic effects of rapid technological change".
Rejecting a pessimistic view of increasing automation, Mr Corbyn told the British Chambers of Commerce annual conference: "As with every other technological revolution, disappearing jobs will be replaced with new, as yet unforeseen forms of work."
In its election manifesto, Labour promised that if it won power all further education courses would be free as part of a new national education service, with fees for adult education courses scrapped.
Mr Corbyn called for a "step-change in skills and training", with anyone able to retrain at any point in their life.
He also said there had been a "deep-rooted historical snobbishness" towards technical subjects.
Mr Corbyn said there had been a "lost decade" in terms of wages and output and argued that businesses would prosper if education was "given laser-like attention by a committed government".
The Conservatives have set a goal of creating three million new apprenticeships by 2020 as part of efforts to address skills gaps which British business has warned is holding the country back.
To help pay for this, firms with a pay bill of £3m have had to pay an apprenticeship levy since April.
Among the other speakers was Education Secretary Justine Greening, who told the conference that technical and further education needed more support and investment.
"A skills revolution needs a technical education revolution," she said, calling on businesses to support so-called "T-level" technical qualifications in England and work placements.

When the Olympic flame first arrived in Moscow, he was at the centre of an elaborate ceremony on Red Square. With rousing music playing, he strode out of the Kremlin gates on live television and marched up a long red carpet to receive the flame personally. He then stood there, torch in hand as the national anthem played.
Another torch has now been sent up to the International Space Station for a spacewalk on Saturday, to remind the world of Russia's leading role in manned space flight.
An icebreaker has even smashed its way to the North Pole with one of the torches, emphasising Russia's strength in the Arctic.
"Russia is a very special country," Dmitry Chernyshenko, the president of the Sochi Organising Committee told me.
"There are few countries capable of sending an icebreaker to the North Pole. Also we are sending the Olympic torch into outer space and that particular device will be the torch that lights the Olympic flame in the cauldron at the opening ceremony on 7 February 2014."
A huge sum of money has been spent on the Games - around $50bn (£31bn; 1,620bn roubles). Though organisers insist much of that has been spent on infrastructure that might have been built anyway.
"You have to separate out and distinguish the money spent for the hosting of the Games, approximately $7bn," Dmitry Chernyshenko says.
"The rest - it's not correct to collect everything which has 'Sochi' in the title of the programme and add it to the overall budget for the preparation of the games."
The Games are also an opportunity to see how things are done in Russia. The awarding of Olympic contracts has attracted strong criticism from the Russian opposition.
One of President Putin's oldest friends is Arkady Rotenberg. They knew each other as teenagers in St Petersburg, and have been judo sparring partners for decades.
Companies linked to Arkady Rotenberg have won contracts amounting to around $7.4bn - more than a seventh of the whole Olympic budget. His companies have built roads, the airport, the new port, a gas pipeline, and even a new power station.
"I am not in a position to judge how efficient the tenders were but they were open and transparent," Dmitry Chernyshenko insists. "Probably the proposal was the best."
Arkady Rotenberg has always strongly denied benefiting financially from his friendship with Vladimir Putin. "But," he recently told the Financial Times, "I have great respect for this person and I consider that this is a person sent to our country from God."
Many people in Sochi, the sub-tropical Black Sea resort that is hosting the Games along with the nearby mountain resort at Krasnaya Polyana, are calling them "Putin's Olympics". By that they mean they do not think of them as their Games.
Sochi residents have lived in an enormous building site for five years.
Villagers in Akhshtyr, just outside Sochi, complain that state-owned Russian Railways has been dumping huge quantities of construction rubble into an illegal landfill in a water protection zone nearby.
"We don't know what to do," village chief Alexander Koropov told the Associated Press last month. "We would like to petition God but we haven't got his address. He's the only person we haven't petitioned yet."
When we visited the Olympic Park on the Black Sea coast last week, the sporting venues were impressive and complete. The site is compact and looks like it will be great for the spectators who make the journey.
But the 40,000-seater Fisht Stadium, which will only be used for the opening and closing ceremonies, is far from ready.
It was designed to have an open roof but that plan was changed because of concerns that Sochi's unreliable weather might damage the sophisticated lighting and sound equipment being used for the opening ceremony.
The ceremony is being overseen personally by Konstantin Ernst, the head of Russia's state-controlled First Channel. It is not yet clear what role President Putin will play in the ceremony, which is a closely kept secret, but it promises to be a statement of Russia's rediscovered confidence.
"We want to tell to the world the story of the new, modern Russia," Dmitry Chernyshenko told me.
One evening we climbed the hill overlooking the Sochi Olympic Park. There we met a family living in a simple house with a bare 60-watt bulb lighting their porch. They complained that they have no mains gas and their district had been plagued by power cuts.
Such complaints are common. Alexander Valov, a blogger who runs the blogsochi.ru website, said there was enthusiasm for the Games at first but now most residents are fed up.
"How can you have a positive attitude to the Olympic Games when you are sitting at home with a candle?" he asked.
"There is no light, no water, and in the distance you see the Olympic Park and it is always illuminated, and there is a normal and stable electricity supply. So you end up with feeling that everything is being done for the Olympics and not for the residents."
When the Games were first awarded to Sochi one of the prime concerns was security because of its proximity to the troubled North Caucasus region of Russia.
Those worries had subsided a little but a recent suicide bomb attack on a bus in Volgograd put the security issue back on the table.
Russia is keen to use Sochi as part of a re-branding exercise, to show the progress it has made in recent years.
But the Olympics will also shine a spotlight on some of the country's long-lasting problems - like corruption, the authorities' frequent disregard for the plight of ordinary people, and the regular terrorist attacks linked to the North Caucasus.
The pool has now re-opened after the incident at about 11:25 BST.

"We responded with a rapid response vehicle and a high dependency service vehicle.
"A male youth was taken to University Hospital Wales, Cardiff."
Looking at data on 400,000 children, they found August-born children were almost twice as likely to have ADHD as those born the previous September.
The team said many cases may be down to teachers comparing the behaviour of the least and the most mature children.
ADHD is an inability to control activity levels and sustain attention.
It is a behavioural condition which affects up to 7% or 400,000 British children and impairs their ability to learn.
The study of Taiwanese children, in the Journal of Pediatrics, found 2.8% of the pre-school and primary school boys born in September are diagnosed with the condition compared with 4.5% of those born the following August. For girls the incidence increased from 0.7% to 1.2%.
In Taiwan, as in England, the birthday cut-off for the school year is August 31.
The study said: "Worldwide, the number of children and adolescents being diagnosed with ADHD or receiving a prescription for ADHD, has significantly increased.
"Evidence shows that relative age, which may be a proxy of neuro-cognitive ability, may increase the likelihood of ADHD diagnosis and medication."
Lead author Dr Mu-Hong Chen, of the Department of Psychology at Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan, said: "Our findings emphasize the importance of considering the age of a child within a grade (year-group) when diagnosing ADHD and prescribing medication to treat ADHD."
In England, the difference in development at primary school level between autumn-born pupils and their younger, summer born peers is well known.
Those born later in the year tend to be more likely to be diagnosed with special educational needs.
Consultant psychiatrist and chairman of the ADHD Foundation, Dr Kuben Naidoo, said: "While the study findings indicate an increase in the rate of diagnosis and treatment for ADHD in this Taiwanese population, the authors acknowledge significant limitations including absence of key information such as family history and environmental factors.
"The study therefore highlights the importance of ensuring the assessment for ADHD is rigorous and relies on a variety of sources of information that support the clinician in deciding whether the diagnosis is met.
"In the UK setting the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD across the lifespan is robust and relies on information gathered from a number of sources, including the family and school.
"This is then coupled with information obtained from a clinical interview by a specialist paediatrician or psychiatrist.
"The option to treat with medication is not taken lightly and consideration is also given to psychological strategies to support the individual. This decision on the type of treatment would be influenced by the degree of impairment experienced by the individual."

The hosts collapsed to 223 all out as they slipped to a seventh loss in nine Tests to go 1-0 down in the series.
Former England skippers Michael Vaughan and Alec Stewart have called on the England and Wales Cricket Board to take the captaincy off Cook.
But Cook, who has not made a hundred in 27 innings, said: "To quit now, in the middle of the series, would be wrong."
The Essex opener took charge following Andrew Strauss's retirement in 2012, scoring three centuries in a series win in India and leading England to a 3-0 Ashes success last summer.
Since then, Cook has overseen a 5-0 whitewash by Australia down under and a 1-0 home defeat by Sri Lanka.

There has been no sign of an upturn in the ongoing series against India, with England going 1-0 down in the second Test at Lord's on Monday.
"I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong," Cook, 29, said. "When I was made England captain, I told my wife I would give it my all.
"If it's not to be, so be it. But I believe the team needs me to lead them through this tough time. I've been speaking to (head coach) Peter Moores over the last couple of days and, even in tough times, me and him still think we can turn this around.
"A captain is only good as the players you play with. You always think you could do different things in hindsight but I know when we've won games of cricket I've captained well.
"I don't think my captaincy was the reason we lost this game."
The defeat by India also means coach Moores is without a win in four Tests since he was re-appointed in April, but he remained supportive of Cook.
"Alastair has had a tough ride, through the winter and now," said Moores. "The tougher it gets, the more he wants to get stuck in and build this team. He realises that's not an easy job.
"We have to support people and it's great to see he's got the stomach for that fight.
"It's difficult to captain when you're not scoring runs. He's an outstanding player and individual and time will show that. He'll come back stronger."

Stuart Jefferson, 32, was accused of setting a fire at the former Majestyk nightclub in City Square on the night of 30 September.
He admitted being inside the building on the night of the fire but denied two counts of arson.
The jury at Leeds Crown Court heard Mr Jefferson had two previous convictions for arson.
During the three-day trial, the court heard that staff and guests at the Quebec Hotel next door to the venue had to be evacuated during the fire.
Evidence collected after the blaze showed a naked flame had been deliberately placed against the seats.
Dozens of firefighters tackled the blaze at the Grade-II listed building, the home of the Majestic cinema in the 1920s.
Its roof partially collapsed but the "iconic" building was saved by firefighters.
The Majestyk closed its doors in 2006 and plans to revive the building have included creating a cinema, restaurants and a gym.
Following a goalless first half, Blackburn took a 54th-minute lead when unmarked Sam Gallagher headed home Charlie Mulgrew's left-wing cross.
But Villa drew level three minutes later when Gordon Greer brought down Jack Grealish and Jonathan Kodjia converted from the spot.
The Ivory Coast striker doubled his tally to hand Villa all three points.
Kodjia was criticised by Birmingham manager Gary Rowett for the number of times he went to ground in last week's derby.
But his 71st-minute strike, following Mile Jedinak's assist, proved the difference and ensured Villa remain the only Championship side not to be beaten at home this season.
They climb up to 14th in the table and are now unbeaten in five games under Bruce.
Blackburn remain 23rd and have now lost three games in a row.
Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce: "I thought Kodjia probably had his best game for the club and hopefully we can continue moving upwards.
"You only have to watch him and realise what a good player he is. He has that little trick of playing on the side, like the French - and this helps me getting an extra striker onto the pitch.
"We didn't do enough in the first half, although we started the second half much brighter when we played with a bit of energy and fire.
"It was a big test going behind and not playing well. Thankfully, we responded in the right manner and started looking like a team."
Blackburn boss Owen Coyle: "In the first half we dominated the game and could have been two goals ahead.
"Sam is a very talented young player who I believe will play in the Premier League.
"I've told the players, and I was quite vocal about it, that they must not give away soft goals when we are in a winning position.
"There is enough in the team to know we will move up the table. It is frustrating because we are performing well against good teams and it is hard to leave without any points."

A decision would be taken after a review, he said, calling the attack an act of cyber-vandalism, not of war.
North Korea denies the attack over The Interview, which depicts the fictional killing of its leader Kim Jong-Un.
Sony cancelled the Christmas Day release after threats to cinemas. It is considering "a different platform".
In a CNN interview, President Obama described the hacking as a "very costly, very expensive" example of cyber-vandalism.
He said US officials would examine all the evidence to determine whether North Korea should be put back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
"I'll wait to review what the finding are," Mr Obama said, adding that he did not think the attack "was an act of war".
North Korea had been on the US list for two decades until the White House removed it in 2008, after Pyongyang agreed to full verification of its nuclear sites.
On Saturday, the US also asked China to curb North Korea's cyber-attacks.
So far there has been no response from Beijing - North Korea's main ally. North Korea's communications run through China.
The FBI said on Friday that North Korea had carried out last month's cyber-attack, in which script details and private emails were leaked.
The US defended its findings on Saturday, with US National Security spokesman Mark Stroh saying: "We are confident the North Korean government is responsible for this destructive attack."
"If the North Korean government wants to help, they can admit their culpability and compensate Sony for the damages this attack caused," he said.
The Interview features James Franco and Seth Rogen as two journalists who are granted an audience with Mr Kim. The CIA then enlists the pair to assassinate him.
The film's cancelled release drew criticism in Hollywood, with some calling it an attack on the freedom of expression.
Sony says it made the decision after most US cinemas chose not to screen the film, following the threats.
The Foxes won the Premier League for the first time having begun the season as 5,000-1 outsiders for the title.
Wales will be featuring in their first major finals for 58 years at Euro 2016 and are 80-1 to win the tournament.
"Wales do remind me of Leicester," the former Wales and Leicester midfielder told BBC Radio Wales.
Speaking on the Jason Mohammad programme, Savage added, "Leicester have changed the face of football forever by showing that with a lot of hunger, desire, work rate and team spirit, you can go a long way.

"Wales have certainly got that. If they can have Gareth Bale in form, who knows?"
Leicester won the title as Chelsea ended Tottenham Hotspur's challenge by coming from 2-0 down to seal a point at Stamford Bridge on Monday.
The Foxes' title triumph means midfielder Andy King has become the fourth Welshman to earn a Premier League winner's medal.
The 27-year-old, Leicester's longest serving player, is set to be included in Chris Coleman's Wales squad for this summer's European Championship finals in France.
Savage, who won 39 caps for Wales and played for Leicester between 1997 and 2002, sees similarities between the two current squads.
"Wales have got Gareth Bale and he's a superstar, but if you look around the team they've got very, very good players - Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and now Andy King a Premier League winner," Savage continued.
"They've got Ashley Williams who has been brilliant in the Premier League and around those players there's a togetherness and a team spirit I've witnessed when I've seen Leicester."
US researchers have found that they produce an antibody that attacks the malaria-causing parasite.
Injecting a form of this antibody into mice protected the animals from the disease.
The team, which published its results in the journal Science, said trials in primates and humans were now needed to fully assess the vaccine's promise.
Prof Jake Kurtis, director of the Center for International Health Research at Rhode Island Hospital, Brown University School of Medicine, said: "I think there's fairly compelling evidence that this is a bona fide vaccine candidate.
"However, it's an incredibly difficult parasite to attack. It's had millions of years of evolution to co-opt and adapt to our immune responses - it really is a formidable enemy."
Trapped inside
The study began with a group of 1,000 children in Tanzania, who had regular blood samples taken in the first years of their lives.
A small number of these children - 6% - developed a naturally acquired immunity to malaria, despite living in an area where the disease was rife.
"There are some individuals who become resistant and there are some individuals who do not become resistant," explained Prof Kurtis.
"We asked what were the specific antibodies expressed by resistant children that were not expressed by susceptible children."
The team found that an antibody produced by the immune children hits the malaria parasite at a key stage in its life-cycle.
It traps the tiny organism in red blood cells, preventing it from bursting out and spreading throughout the body.
Tests, carried out in small groups of mice, suggest this antibody could act as a potential vaccine.
Prof Kurtis said: "The survival rate was over two-fold longer if the mice were vaccinated compared with unvaccinated - and the parasitemia (the number of parasites in the blood) were up to four-fold lower in the vaccinated mice."
The team said it was encouraged by the results, but stressed more research was required.
Prof Kurtis said: "I am cautious. I've seen nothing so far in our data that would cause us to lose enthusiasm. However, it still needs to get through a monkey study and the next phase of human trials."
This latest study is one of many avenues being explored in the race to find a malaria vaccine.
The most advanced is the RTS,S vaccine, developed by GlaxoSmithKline. The drug company is seeking regulatory approval after Phase III clinical trials showed that the drug almost halved the number of malaria cases in young children and reduced by about 25% the number of malaria cases in infants.
Commenting on the research, Dr Ashley Birkett, director of the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative, said: "The identification of new targets on malaria parasites to support malaria vaccine development is a necessary and important endeavour.
"While these initial results are promising with respect to prevention of severe malaria, a lot more data would be needed before this could be considered a leading vaccine approach - either alone or in combination with other antigens."
The most recent figures from the World Health Organization suggest the disease killed more than 600,000 people in 2012, with 90% of these deaths occurring in sub-Saharan Africa.

Police arrested a 31-year-old man from London and a 14-year-old boy from Surrey following the attack.
At about 23:30 BST on Thursday, the victim reported being raped in a caravan in the traders' area after meeting a man and a boy in a campsite.
The pair have since been released on bail until 6 October with the condition not to return to the Reading Festival site for the rest of the weekend.
Ch Insp Dave Parker, of Thames Valley Police, said: "We take all allegations of this nature very seriously and we are conducting a full investigation."
Police said there had been 21 crimes at the festival site since Wednesday, including five alleged drugs offences and 13 suspected thefts.
Foreign ministers were seeking a common position on the Syrian conflict, before the US secretary of state flies to Russia to try to persuade it to abandon its Syrian ally.
The nations agreed there was no solution to the Syria crisis with President Assad in power.
But UK proposals to target sanctions at senior military leaders were sidelined.
The diplomacy in the Italian town of Lucca follows the latest apparent use of chemical weapons in Syria.
Syria has denied it carried out a chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun last week that left 89 people dead.
In response, the US fired 59 cruise missiles at a Syrian airbase that it said was implicated in the attack.
Speaking after the end of the G7 meeting, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the missile strike "was necessary as a matter of US national security interest".
"We do not want the regime's uncontrolled stockpile of chemical weapons to fall into the hands of Isis [so-called Islamic State] or other terrorist groups who could and want to attack the United States or our allies.
"Nor can we accept the normalisation of the use of chemical weapons by other actors or countries in Syria, or elsewhere."
Mr Tillerson will head to Moscow for talks on Syria later on Tuesday, hoping to persuade the Russians that they have an unreliable ally in President Assad.
Italian foreign minister Angelino Alfano - hosting the G7 talks - said ministers wanted to engage with Russia to put pressure on President Assad, adding that "we must not push Russia into a corner".
"We think the Russians have the leverage that is needed to put pressure on Assad and to get him to observe the commitments with regard to the ceasefire," he added.
What will US achieve in Moscow - BBC's Steve Rosenberg
The fact that Rex Tillerson's visit to Moscow is happening at all is telling.
Russia reacted angrily to last week's US missile strike on Syria, condemning it as an "act of aggression". Yet Moscow is happy to host the US secretary of state. He'll meet his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov and a meeting with President Putin cannot be ruled out.
But experience shows that Moscow does not take well to threats or ultimatums.
If Mr Tillerson thinks he can weaken Moscow's support for President Assad, he may need to re-think. The Syrian president is Russia's key military ally in the Middle East. Russia has invested heavily - militarily, politically and financially - to keep him in power.
Reports on Monday quoted a senior US official as saying that the Russians knew of the chemical attack because a drone had been flying over a hospital in Khan Sheikhoun as victims sought help.
Hours later a jet bombed the hospital in what the US believed was an attempt to cover up the attack, the Associated Press agency said.
Meanwhile, US Defence Secretary James Mattis gave fresh details on the retaliatory strike against Syria's Shayrat airbase.
He said the "measured response" by the US had "resulted in the damage or destruction of fuel and ammunition sites, air defence capabilities and 20% of Syria's operational aircraft".
The Syrian military admits significant material damage but a Russian defence ministry spokesman said only six Syrian Air Force MiG-23s, plus a number of buildings, were destroyed and that only 23 of the missiles had reached Shayrat.
US missiles 'took out 20% of aircraft'
Why was Shayrat airbase bombed?
Syria has denied using any chemical agents, and Russia says the US has failed to provide evidence Syria has chemical weapons.
Russia and Iran, President Assad's key military backers, are also threatening retaliation if there are any further American air strikes, saying the US attack had crossed "red lines".
"From now on we will respond with force to any aggressor or any breach of red lines from whoever it is and America knows our ability to respond well," said a statement from a joint command centre comprising the forces of President Assad's allies.
In recent days there have been mixed messages from the US on its priorities in Syria.
Mr Tillerson said on Sunday that there had been "no change to our military posture" in Syria following the US airbase strike and that Washington's "first priority" was to defeat so-called Islamic State (IS).
Those comments came a day after the US's ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley spoke about the removal of President Assad, saying: "In no way do we see peace in that area with Assad as the head of the Syrian government."
There was further confusion on Monday. Mr Tillerson spoke in public about an interventionist approach, saying: "We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world."
Hours later, White House press secretary Sean Spicer suggested Mr Trump would act against Syria not just if it used chemical munitions.
"If you gas a baby, if you put a barrel bomb into innocent people, I think you will see a response from this president," Mr Spicer said in his daily briefing. The White House later said Mr Spicer had meant to refer to barrel bombs containing "industrial chemicals".
But Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), said there was an "east-west" divide with numbers of the mammals at an all-time high on the west coast.
Last year only 29 were counted in the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary.
Numbers have also dropped dramatically around Orkney and declined in the Moray Firth and Dornoch Firth.
The research was carried out by the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) at the University of St Andrews. Scientists there have been documenting the decline of harbour seals on the east coast since 2000.
In the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary Special Area of Conservation, which was set up in part to protect the harbour seal, the population has fallen 90% in 15 years, with a decline of 75% around Orkney over the same period.
In contrast, the population of seals has risen by 60% or more in some parts of the west coast in the last six years.
John Baxter, principle marine adviser with Scottish Natural Heritage, said: "It's great to hear that harbour seal numbers on the west coast are doing so well but it's of real concern that numbers on the east coast continue to drop so dramatically.
"It's still not clear what's causing the decline but we're continuing to work with colleagues at Marine Scotland and SMRU to try to get a better understanding of what is going on."
There are two species of seal in Scotland - the harbour seal and the grey seal, but only harbour seal numbers are declining. Some conservationists blame their falling numbers on increasing competition with the larger and more numerous grey seal.
Harbour seals - also known as common seals - are found in cold and temperate waters throughout much of the northern hemisphere. Scotland is home to 36% of the European population.
Adult harbour seal males weigh about 85kg and measure about 145cm in length. Females weigh about 75kg and are about 135cm long, not much smaller than the males, in fact it is very difficult to tell the male harbour seals from female harbour seals. Grey seals are bigger than harbour seals. Adult males weigh up to 300kg and can be 200cm long, while adult females weigh up to 180kg and are about 180cm long. As well as being smaller than grey seals harbour seals have more dog like or "spaniel" appearance while grey seals have a long sloping "Roman" nose.

But the World Health Organisation says Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone are still trying to prevent it spreading.
Lots of countries and charities are trying to help stop the outbreak of the virus by sending troops, supplies and helping to build more facilities to treat people.
Chris Worrall from the charity Oxfam, has told Martin about the work they're doing to raise awareness of the virus.
Its move came shortly after a rival suitor for HRG, South Africa's Steinhoff International, withdrew from the takeover battle.
Sainsbury's cash and shares offer values HRG shares at 172.3p each.
Under UK takeover rules, both Sainsbury's and Steinhoff had been set a deadline of 17:00 GMT to make a firm offer or walk away.
The board of HRG said it had noted the announcement by Sainsbury's, and that it looked forward to working with them towards a recommendation of the offer.
In a statement, Sainsbury's chairman David Tyler said: "The UK grocery retail industry is undergoing a period of intense change in customer shopping behaviour and in the competitive environment.
"This combination with HRG presents an opportunity to accelerate our strategy, delivering compelling revenue and cost synergies.
"We will create a multi-product, multi-channel proposition with fast delivery networks that we believe will be very attractive to the customers of both businesses."
Separately, Steinhoff said on Friday that it had offered £673m ($975m) for Darty, Europe's third biggest electrical goods retailer.
That topped a rival bid from a French retailer Fnac, with the Darty board saying it would recommend the offer to shareholders.
Hospital waiting lists, mental health and abortion are some of the issues which have been left in limbo.
While the health and social care wheel keeps on turning, at what speed and how much distance it can cover depends entirely on its budget and leadership.
Northern Ireland has neither at present.
While in the run-up to the election, former health minister Michelle O'Neill published an elective care plan to tackle waiting lists, it had assigned just £31m, which was only earmarked for those waiting more than 52 weeks.
With neither a budget nor an executive in place, many saw the plan as simply academic.
The biggest problem for the health service at present is spiralling hospital waiting lists, which are growing by 1,000 people each month, on average.
Across the UK a ministerial target states that at least 95% of patients who are urgently referred with suspected cancer should begin treatment within 62 days. While the target is the same for the regions, performance varies.
In England that figure sits at 82%, Scotland 90% while in Wales around 85% of patients are seen within 62 days.
In Northern Ireland, however, the target is met in just 70% of cases.
"Recently there has been a real understanding that it's not acceptable and that we need a strategy in place in order to address this going forward," said Macmillan Cancer Support's Heather Monteverde.
"Progress was being made before Christmas but now with no government, no budget or no strategy it is extremely worrying."
Part of the problem was that unlike the other regions, Northern Ireland does not have a cancer strategy, she said.
Before the collapse of Stormont, momentum had also been gathering around tackling mental health.
Last October, the BBC revealed none of the five health trusts were meeting their waiting time target for treating people with depression and anxiety - in the past three years there has been a 76% rise in the number of cases waiting.
It is estimated that an additional 300 staff are required to meet the demand.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists told the BBC it was encouraged that the former health minister had begun her tenure making mental health a priority.
However, according to its chairman, Gerry Lynch, that momentum and sense of hope is now gone.
"There is a deep sense of frustration among psychiatrists and mental health workers because we have worked with the community and voluntary sector and because of political instability we aren't in a position to deliver," he said.
Other decisions being left in limbo include the possibility of reforming abortion law, including around fatal foetal abnormality or life-limiting conditions.
Although no decisions had been taken on making any change to the law, many say the setting up of a working group on FFA had marked a change of mood.
Before the collapse of the power-sharing government, the FFA Group's report made it onto the desks of the justice and health ministers; it had also been seen by the executive and former first minister Arlene Foster said their plan was to publish the document after it had been considered by the Executive.
Momentum on that, according to some, is now also gone.
The chairwoman of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in NI, Carolyn Bailie, who was among those advising the group, said stalling the process was frustrating.
"Whether we go back to the power sharing executive and if that happens with a change in the balance of seats that might just impact on what happens next," she said.
"But if we go to direct rule, well I just don't know then what will happen with it all."
The state of domiciliary care is, at the very least, fragile, as are future decisions around the delivery of physiotherapy and the consultation on where exactly stroke services will be delivered.
The future role and funding of GPs is potentially in jeopardy and a minister and budget is required to sign off on all these matters.
For the sake of health and social care, few could argue that rebooting Stormont must become a priority for all of those involved in the ongoing political talks.
The Hollywood star, 39, is raising money for the British Red Cross Society, whose campaign has so far raised £1.5m.
Hardy said he was shocked that "families and children were attacked and murdered in a place where they should be safe and enjoying a concert".
His Just Giving site has reached nearly half his £15,000 target.
Hardy, who thwarted a "fleeing thief" recently, wrote on his fundraising site: "There is no bringing back those who have been lost, pointlessly, in such a cowardly and brutal fashion.
"I am truly saddened by what I have witnessed and there is no doubt that terrorism is an evil thing."
Mr Hardy added: "Terrorism is abhorrent, the killing of innocent families and children unacceptable.
"And it is with those, the innocent victims and the witnesses of this atrocity that my heartfelt concern and deepest sympathy lies."
The move follows claims by Channel 4 News that some bills were not included in local spending returns during the poll and two other by-elections.
Labour's defeated candidate in the Newark poll, which the Conservatives won, has called for an investigation.
The Conservatives say all spending was recorded in accordance with the law.
Earlier this week, Channel 4 News said it had obtained hotel bills which suggested the party broke electoral rules in the Newark, Clacton and Rochester & Strood by-elections, the first of which the Conservatives won and the other two it lost to UKIP.
Conservative MP Robert Jenrick, who won the Newark contest, told BBC News he was "very confident" his election expenses were compiled "in complete compliance with the law".
"The allegations that were on Channel 4 News are, as far as I can see, completely unfounded," he added.
Campaign spending in by-elections is limited to £100,000 for each party.
But Channel 4 News' political correspondent Michael Crick said he had uncovered £56,866.75 of undeclared hotel bills in Rochester, which would have taken the party £53,659.83 over the £100,000 limit.
The programme found bills totalling £26,786.14 in Clacton, which would have taken the party £10,835.36 over the limit, and receipts totalling £10,459.30 in Newark, which would mean an overspend of £6,650.28.
Michael Payne, who represented Labour in the Newark by-election, wrote to Nottinghamshire Police on Tuesday asking it to look into claims of "undeclared" spending by his rivals, saying he wanted reassurance that electoral laws and procedures had been complied with.
Nottinghamshire Police confirmed it had received an e-mail on the issue, adding: "This is the first communication we have received. The force will review the content of the communication, but we should make it clear that no investigation has been launched at this time."
The BBC understands that detectives in the Fraud and Financial Crimes Unit at Nottinghamshire Constabulary are handling the case.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage, whose party came second in Newark, has said the party will not make a formal complaint but he would support any complaints made by members of the public.
A Conservative spokeswoman, speaking on Wednesday, said: "All by-election spending has been correctly recorded in accordance with the law."
She shared the news on social media, saying the cartoon was a "big part of growing up".
The film will be directed by Bill Condon, who previously made Twilight: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2.
The animated version of Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991.
There is currently no date set for the new film's release in cinemas.
Revealing the news, Emma said: "I'll get to dance to 'Be Our Guest' and sing 'Something There'. My six-year-old self is on the ceiling. Heart bursting."
The discovery of 15 partial skeletons is the largest single discovery of its type in Africa.
The researchers claim that the discovery will change ideas about our human ancestors.
The studies which have been published in the journal Elife also indicate that these individuals were capable of ritual behaviour.
The species, which has been named naledi, has been classified in the grouping, or genus, Homo, to which modern humans belong.
The researchers who made the find have not been able to find out how long ago these creatures lived - but the scientist who led the team, Prof Lee Berger, told BBC News that he believed they could be among the first of our kind (genus Homo) and could have lived in Africa up to three million years ago.
Like all those working in the field, he is at pains to avoid the term "missing link". Prof Berger says naledi could be thought of as a "bridge" between more primitive bipedal primates and humans.
"We'd gone in with the idea of recovering one fossil. That turned into multiple fossils. That turned into the discovery of multiple skeletons and multiple individuals.
"And so by the end of that remarkable 21-day experience, we had discovered the largest assemblage of fossil human relatives ever discovered in the history of the continent of Africa. That was an extraordinary experience."
Prof Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum said naledi was "a very important discovery".
"What we are seeing is more and more species of creatures that suggests that nature was experimenting with how to evolve humans, thus giving rise to several different types of human-like creatures originating in parallel in different parts of Africa. Only one line eventually survived to give rise to us," he told BBC News.
I went to see the bones which are kept in a secure room at Witwatersrand University. The door to the room looks like one that would seal a bank vault. As Prof Berger turned the large lever on the door, he told me that our knowledge of very early humans is based on partial skeletons and the occasional skull.
The haul of 15 partial skeletons includes both males and females of varying ages - from infants to elderly. The discovery is unprecedented in Africa and will shed more light on how the first humans evolved.
"We are going to know everything about this species," Prof Berger told me as we walked over to the remains of H. naledi.
"We are going to know when its children were weaned, when they were born, how they developed, the speed at which they developed, the difference between males and females at every developmental stage from infancy, to childhood to teens to how they aged and how they died."
Ardipithecus ramidus (4.4 million years ago) : Fossils were discovered in Ethiopia in the 1990s. Pelvis shows adaptations to both tree climbing and upright walking.
Australopithecus afarensis (3.9 - 2.9 million years ago) : The famous "Lucy" skeleton belongs to this species of human relative. So far, fossils of this species have only been found in East Africa. Several traits in the skeleton suggest afarensis walked upright, but they may have spent some time in the trees.
Homo habilis (2.8 - 1.5 million years ago) : This human relative had a slightly larger braincase and smaller teeth than the australopithecines or older species, but retains many more primitive features such as long arms.
Homo naledi (Of unknown age, but researchers say it could be as old as three million years) : The new discovery has small, modern-looking teeth, human-like feet but more primitive fingers and a small braincase.
Homo erectus (1.9 million years - unknown) : Homo erectus had a modern body plan that was almost indistinguishable from ours. But it had a smaller brain than a modern person's combined with a more primitive face.
Homo neanderthalensis (200,000 years - 40,000 years) The Neanderthals were a side-group to modern humans, inhabiting western Eurasia before our species left Africa. They were shorter and more muscular than modern people but had slightly larger brains.
Homo sapiens (200,000 years - present) Modern humans evolved in Africa from a predecessor species known as Homo heidelbergensis. A small group of Homo sapiens left Africa 60,000 years ago and settled the rest of the world, replacing the other human species they encountered (with a small amount of interbreeding).
I was astonished to see how well preserved the bones were. The skull, teeth and feet looked as if they belonged to a human child - even though the skeleton was that of an elderly female.
Its hand looked human-like too, up to its fingers which curl around a bit like those of an ape.
Homo naledi is unlike any primitive human found in Africa. It has a tiny brain - about the size of a gorilla's and a primitive pelvis and shoulders. But it is put into the same genus as humans because of the more progressive shape of its skull, relatively small teeth, characteristic long legs and modern-looking feet.
"I saw something I thought I would never see in my career," Prof Berger told me.
"It was a moment that 25 years as a paleoanthropologist had not prepared me for."
One of the most intriguing questions raised by the find is how the remains got there.
I visited the site of the find, the Rising Star cave, an hour's drive from the university in an area known as the Cradle of Humankind. The cave leads to a narrow underground tunnel through which some of Prof Berger's team crawled in an expedition funded by the National Geographic Society.
Small women were chosen because the tunnel was so narrow. They crawled through darkness lit only by their head torches on a precarious 20 minute-long journey to find a chamber containing hundreds of bones.
Among them was Marina Elliott. She showed me the narrow entrance to the cave and then described how she felt when she first saw the chamber.
"The first time I went to the excavation site I likened it to the feeling that Howard Carter must have had when he opened Tutankhamen's tomb - that you are in a very confined space and then it opens up and all of a sudden all you can see are all these wonderful things - it was incredible," she said.
Ms Elliott and her colleagues believe that they have found a burial chamber. The Homo naledi people appear to have carried individuals deep into the cave system and deposited them in the chamber - possibly over generations.
If that is correct, it suggests naledi was capable of ritual behaviour and possibly symbolic thought - something that until now had only been associated with much later humans within the last 200,000 years.
Prof Berger said: "We are going to have to contemplate some very deep things about what it is to be human. Have we been wrong all along about this kind of behaviour that we thought was unique to modern humans?
"Did we inherit that behaviour from deep time and is it something that (the earliest humans) have always been able to do?"
Prof Berger believes that the discovery of a creature that has such a mix of modern and primitive features should make scientists rethink the definition of what it is to be human - so much so that he himself is reluctant to describe naledi as human.
Other researchers working in the field, such as Prof Stringer, believe that naledi should be described as a primitive human. But he agrees that current theories need to be re-evaluated and that we have only just scratched the surface of the rich and complex story of human evolution.

Lewis Pugh Evans from Llanbadarn Fawr, Aberystwyth, had served for 20 years with the British Army when he carried out his actions in 1917 at Zonnebeke.
The citation accompanying his medal reads "For conspicuous bravery and leadership" and goes on: "His example of cool bravery stimulated in all ranks, the highest valour and determination to win."
The medal is now among a private collection held by Lord Ashcroft, the former Conservative deputy chairman.
Its intelligence minister also repeated the charge that Western spy agencies were behind the murder this week of an Iranian nuclear scientist.
His statement comes two days before Iran is to hold talks with the US and its allies on its nuclear programme.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Iran to participate in the talks in good faith.
Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency regularly visit Iran to monitor its nuclear activities.
Some Western nations, including the US and its allies, believe Iran's nuclear programme may be aimed at producing nuclear weapons.
Iran says its nuclear activity is for peaceful, civilian purposes.
"The IAEA has been sending spies working for foreign intelligence gathering organisations among its inspectors, and it should be held accountable," Heidar Moslehi was quoted as saying by Iranian state television.
Relations between Iran and the IAEA have soured in recent months under the leadership of Yukiya Amano, who has taken a tougher line with Tehran than his predecessor, Mohamed ElBaradei.
Mr Moslehi said the killing on Monday of nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari in a car bomb attack and the wounding of another scientist in a separate attack in Tehran was the work of US, Israeli and British agents.
"This terrorist act was carried out by intelligence services such as the CIA, Mossad and the MI6," he said.
Talks in Geneva are due to start on Monday between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the US, Russia, China, Britain and France - and Germany.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said he wanted the talks to go beyond his country's nuclear programme to include the "Iranian agenda". This includes Israel's widely suspected, but never declared, nuclear weapons.
Mrs Clinton urged Iran to enter the talks in good faith and with "a much more sober assessment of what isolation means", given successive rounds of UN sanctions.
The five were detained after arriving on a flight from neighbouring El Salvador on Tuesday night, police said.
Honduran special police force spokeman Anibal Baca, said they had been tipped off by Greece about the men's imminent arrival.
Greek diplomats in Honduras say none of the five speak Greek.
They were held at the international airport in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa.
According to Honduran police, they were planning to travel to the northern city of San Pedro Sula.
From there, they intended to cross into Guatemala and then Mexico before reaching the US border, some 2,000km (1,2000 miles) away.
"The passports were stolen in Athens," said Mr Baca from the Police Investigations Division (DPI).
"Those are not their real names. We are still trying to establish their identities," he told La Prensa newspaper.
The names on the passports are: Charalampos Kyrimopoulos, Alexandros Tzempelikos, Vasileios Bouzas, Konstantinos Marinakis and Anastasios Bellios.
Interpol will assist Honduran police with the investigation.
American politicians have expressed concern over the arrival of Middle Eastern refugees following Friday's attacks in Paris.
Republicans in the House of Representatives said they were drafting legislation to introduce tougher controls on Syrian and Iraqi refugees.
The visitors took a 16th-minute lead when Hiram Boateng's poor touch on the edge of his own box set up Erhun Oztumer to curl a left-footed shot past Kelle Roos from 20 yards.
Rovers were level on 27 minutes after a foul by Adam Chambers on Billy Bodin. It was borderline whether it was inside the box, but Matt Taylor hammered in the resulting penalty for his sixth goal of the season.
Walsall had a loud penalty appeal of their own rejected when Simeon Jackson went down under challenge from Tom Lockyer in a first half that saw fine saves from both goalkeepers.
Former Rovers loanee Etheridge did brilliantly to keep out a deflected Taylor header, while Roos smothered a close-range effort from Jackson after a superb through-ball from Oztumer.
In the second half Etheridge made more superb stops from Taylor and Bodin twice as Rovers piled on the pressure.

On-loan Inter Milan midfielder Felipe Melo responded with punches when he and Palmeiras keeper Fernando Prass were chased by players from the home team.
Brazilian champions Palmeiras came from 2-0 down to beat the Uruguayans 3-2.
Palmeiras coach Eduardo Baptista said: "When we tried to leave the tunnel was closed and security guards stopped us."
He added: " Our own security got us off the field and stopped something worse happening. It's lamentable. It could have been much worse."
Trouble also broke out in the crowd in Montevideo, Uruguay, after Palmeiras beat Penarol for the second time this season in the South American equivalent of the Champions League.
Former Galatasaray and Juventus midfielder Melo, 33, had accused some Penarol players of racist abuse when they met in Sao Paulo on 13 April, a game which Palmeiras also won 3-2.
A total of 23 million passed through the terminals during the last 12 months - a 5% increase on the previous year and about 30% higher than in 2010.
Managing director Ken O'Toole predicted that the next 12 months would be even busier because new routes to China, Boston and Los Angeles have been added.
Manchester Airport opened 77 years ago and now provides flights to 210 destinations around the world.
Mr O'Toole said: "We have more than 22 million people living within two hours of the airport and our continued addition of new routes and increased frequencies is seeing both business and leisure customers choose Manchester.
"Manchester Airport has never been busier and our continued growth is testament to the role we play in connecting people across the North to destinations in all four corners of the world."
Come fly with me...
The most popular international destinations from Manchester Airport over the last 12 months were:
1. Dubai
2. Dublin
3. Amsterdam
4. Tenerife
5. Palma de Mallorca
A few years ago, Jokowi, as the president-elect is known, was named by the magazine Tempo as one of Indonesia's 10 best regional politicians.
At the time, he was the mayor of Solo, a city on the island of Java.
Mr Widodo was invited to the magazine's office for an interview and a reporter apparently found him in the lobby sitting on his own, without the entourage that usually accompanies Indonesian politicians.
As Mr Basuki tells it, Jokowi looked like a commoner, someone's driver. "Who are you?" asked the journalist.
The future president-elect then stood up and bowed politely as he offered the reporter his name card. The image of Joko Widodo as a humble public servant was born.
This unassuming style was Jokowi's hallmark during his time as Solo's mayor and then as governor of Jakarta from 2012, a post he still held when he won Indonesia's presidential election in July.
He won the poll with 53% of the vote over his rival, Prabowo Subianto, who got 47%.
"His down-to-earth style of leadership is new in Indonesian politics. There seems no gap between him and the people he leads," said Mr Basuki, of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Jakarta.
But style can only get you so far, there has to be substance. Joko Widodo also has an enviable record in getting things done.
For his work as mayor of Solo, Jokowi came third in the World Mayor Prize of 2012, an annual award given to leaders who have revitalised their cities.
This is what the judges said about Jokowi, who did not draw his salary while he was mayor: "Joko Widodo turned a crime-ridden city into a regional centre for arts and culture, which has started to attract international tourism.
"His campaign against corruption earned him the reputation of being the most honest politician in Indonesia."
Jokowi has burnished that reputation during his short time as governor of capital, Jakarta.
He built new homes for people living in some of the many slums dotted around the city, initiated projects to alleviate the flooding and introduced a scheme to give poorer people virtually free health care.
He also re-started building work on a badly-needed metro system for the traffic-clogged city.
His supporters are not hard to find, particularly in a poor area called Tanah Tinggi in central Jakarta.
In this densely-populated space, chickens peck around the feet of chatting neighbours. In the heat, flies buzz around food laid out for sale on stalls all along the narrow streets.
Rooms inside the small homes are dark and sparsely furnished but in an area of the slum stands a group of neat, two-storey homes built of concrete that have running water and indoor toilets.
Jokowi built these houses shortly after becoming Jakarta's mayor in order to re-house some of the people living in Tanah Tinggi.
Thirty-eight-year-old Marlina and her family were some of the lucky ones to get a new house.
"All I know is that it was Mr Jokowi who built my house and we didn't have to pay a cent," Marlina said, as she turned on the tap to show off her home's facilities.
But when he becomes president in October, Mr Widodo faces a series of pressing problems, not least the massive fuel subsidy that keeps petrol so cheap in Indonesia.
The government spends three times as much on this as it does on infrastructure construction.
Mr Widodo has promised to phase out the fuel subsidy and use the money for the poor but that proposal has already upset motorists.
There are also wider issues to tackle, including poverty. Indonesia has more than 100 million people who survive on $2 (£1.20) a day or less.
Some of those people live right next to a railway line that runs alongside Tanah Tinggi, within touching distance of the trains that pass by.
Families live in temporary shelters, made from tarpaulin and odd bits of wood. Every now and then, railway authorities arrive to chase people away and destroy their homes, but those who live there simply return.
They earn a living by scavenging, sorting through rubbish looking for plastic bottles to sell.
Nurhayati is one of them. She came to Jakarta as a migrant with her mother from eastern Java when she was just 13.
Now 21, she has two children who play alongside the railway tracks as trains rush pass.
"The price we get for bottles has fallen recently," she said.
Over the longer term, helping people such as Nurhayati is going to be Mr Widodo's most difficult task.
Peter Carey, a visiting professor at the University of Indonesia in Jakarta, said the economy had grown rapidly over the last decade and Indonesia was soon expected to become one of the world's richest countries.
But he said there needed to be a real desire within the government to provide people with proper health care, a better education system and a co-ordinated transport network - and deal with the country's notorious corruption.
"Indonesia has a huge income gap to close. What's the point in becoming so rich if none of this wealth is used for the benefit of the people of this country," he said.
The fly-half, 28, has joined up with the English Premiership side following Wales' exit from the World Cup.
Priestland, who has won 40 caps for Wales, signed for Bath this year after 10 years playing for Scarlets and made his debut in Saturday's loss at Wasps.
"We want Rhys with us and he's going to take a break from international rugby for the next 18 months," Ford said.
"[It's] his choice and he wants to develop here, get settled at Bath and put a lot of effort and time into being the best player he can be at Bath.
"When George [Ford, the England fly-half and son of Mike Ford] is away with the Six Nations, Rhys will be our 10.
"Eighteen months later is still two years away from the next World Cup and he's still young enough, if he wants to carry on playing for his country, he can do."
Priestland had been first choice for much of Warren Gatland's reign as Wales coach, and rose to prominence in the build-up to the 2011 World Cup.
A late injury replacement for Stephen Jones in the first warm-up match against England, he went on to play a prominent role in Wales' journey to the semi-finals, and was an ever-present during the Grand Slam the following year.
Like most who have worn the Wales number 10 shirt, Priestland was subjected to intense scrutiny during his Test career, and once admitted to seeking psychological help to cope with the rigours of international rugby.
Dan Biggar was Wales' first-choice number 10 during the 2015 World Cup, with Priestland the reserve.
On Saturday, he came on for Bath after Kyle Eastmond suffered an injury at Wasps, taking over at fly-half with Ford switching to scrum-half in the 16-9 defeat.
"I thought he did very well, and he's been excellent in training for us," added Ford, speaking to BBC Radio Bristol.
"It's a good acquisition for us to have George and Rhys fighting for that 10 position, because we relied too much on George last year."
Media in Indian-administered Kashmir are generally split between pro- and anti-secessionist. Local journalists work under strict curfews and also face threats from militant groups. Internet access is sporadic and text messaging services are regularly blocked.
According to a 2015 report by the US-based advocacy group Freedom House, print media are thriving in Indian-administered Kashmir. Local cable TV channels are popular but face bans over the broadcast of certain content.
With the advent of FM stations alongside state-run channels, radio remains an important mass medium, particularly in rural areas.
Mass protests against Indian rule in 2010 also brought about another change in the media landscape with a new generation of voices emerging online providing platforms for public discussion.
Local cable TV channels:

According to a 2006 Human Rights Watch report, tight controls on freedom of expression have been a hallmark of government policy in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
The media are used mainly for propaganda purposes, mainly to highlight the alleged human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir.
The creation of independent media has been restricted. Similarly, the only private broadcasting media allowed to operate are FM radio stations but they are limited to only broadcasting entertainment, leaving news and current affairs programmes to state-run radio.
Internet access is also limited given the underdeveloped telecom structure. Many newspapers do not have an internet presence and publication is sporadic.
No foreign media are based in Pakistan-administered Kashmir without the prior permission of the state government.
The former international fly-half played a key role in the 36-22 triumph that secured the Five Nations title.
Townsend is convinced last weekend's win over Ireland will provide the team with the self belief to win on Sunday.
"The atmosphere can also turn on the French team if the opposition really have a go at them," Townsend said.
"The way the confidence is going through the Scotland team just now, I'm sure that's going to be the plan.
"They're playing really well, the guys are confident from the pro teams as well as the international team. The gap between the so-called best teams in the world and those just below is much closer."
Scotland's win in 1999 was only their second triumph in Paris in 30 years, although the game started with a setback.
France opened the scoring in the first minute, but Scotland responded with five first-half tries, including one from Townsend, who scored in every game of the championship that year.
He says the victory, in Scotland's final Five Nations match, was built on the team arriving in Paris with the "confidence to go out there and play" and then respond after conceding an early try.
"There was a shock at the start, so that got ourselves focused, 'if we don't go out and play, we could be on the back of a big score'," said Glasgow Warriors boss Townsend, who will succeed Vern Cotter as Scotland head coach in June.

"So [we were] really going for it. Accuracy [was needed] as well, you've got to take your chances in international rugby and away to France especially.
"It's an excellent environment to play in, with the atmosphere, with the way France approach their home games.
"I didn't have the best start in that game. I was delighted to score a try, and I scored a try in every game that year, that was the stand out.
"It was more the collective, we just were producing so much quick ball. You had unsung players in that team who really stepped up and played well, Glenn Metcalfe was outstanding at full-back,
"Cammie Murray played really well on the wing, Stuart Reid came in for his first cap and was outstanding. The team just played very well that day."
This suggests that the key suspect - a man wearing a yellow t-shirt who left a rucksack at the shrine moments before the blast - is still on the run.
No-one has laid claim to the attack, which killed 20 people.
Artists have meanwhile repaired damage to the statue caused by the blast.
Police say that the two foreign suspects - identified as Adem Karadag and Yusufu Mieraili - they have arrested are thought to be part of a group responsible for the 17 August blast, but do not appear to be the main protagonists.
"Evidence has showed that Yusufu was probably not the yellow-shirt," national police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri told reporters in Bangkok.
He said that furthermore "nothing had confirmed" that Mr Karadag was the chief suspect. Both men have been charged with possessing "illegal bomb weapons", police say.
Police have yet to confirm the nationalities of the two arrested men because they suspect that both used fake identity documents.
Police on Saturday arrested Mr Karadag in a raid on a flat on the eastern outskirts of Bangkok. It was their first blast-related arrest and he has since been subjected to DNA tests.
The samples taken from him do not match the DNA found on evidence that the bomber is believed to have left behind on the night of the attack, police say.
Police say that seven other people are wanted over the crime.
Earlier on Friday repairs to the shrine were unveiled - its centrepiece being a four-faced golden statue of the Hindu god Brahma.
It was damaged in at least 12 places, most obviously the chin of one of the faces.
The shrine is also considered sacred by Thai Buddhists, and attracts many foreign visitors. The unveiling was attended by worshippers and Thai soldiers.
The repairs were carried out by the culture ministry's fine arts department.
European Union statistics agency Eurostat said the jobless rate in the currency union fell to 10.9% in July from 11.1% the month before.
The fall was helped by a sharp fall in unemployment in Italy, where the jobless total fell by 143,000.
It is the first time the unemployment rate in the eurozone has been below 11% since February 2012.
The wider 28-member EU saw the unemployment rate fall to 9.5%, the lowest rate since June 2011.
The lowest unemployment rate was in Germany, at 4.7%. Greece had the highest unemployment rate, at 25%, the latest available data from May showed, followed by Spain at 22.2%.
The rate of youth unemployment across the eurozone also declined to 21.9% in July from 22.3% a month earlier.
A survey released earlier on Tuesday suggested that growth in the eurozone's manufacturing sector had eased slightly in August, despite factories barely raising prices.
The closely-watched Markit eurozone manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) was 52.3 last month, below a preliminary reading that suggested it had held steady at July's reading of 52.4. However, it has remained above the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction for more than two years.
There was some good news within the data. Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland and Italy all saw strong growth, with Germany's manufacturing PMI reading jumping to 53.3 in August from 51.8 a month earlier.
Rob Dobson, senior economist at Markit, said the data suggested the eurozone manufacturing sector showed continued resilience in August, with output growth and inflows of new business both strengthening.
"Based on the historical relationship, the PMI is tracking at somewhere close to a 2% annualised increase in industrial production so far in the third quarter, a modest gain but still representing a positive step forward," he said.
"The job numbers are also looking more positive, with employment rising at the fastest pace in four years. On the inflation front, lower oil prices led to the first dip in input costs since February, while selling prices remained close to stagnation."
The manufacturing figures come almost six months into the European Central Bank's (ECB) €60bn-a-month bond-buying programme designed to inject new life into the eurozone economy and combat low inflation, which is currently sitting at 0.2%.
With inflation still far from the ECB's target rate of just below 2%, and looking likely to stay there for the foreseeable future, speculation is growing the bank will have to extend its stimulus programme beyond the planned completion in September 2016.

Chris Harper Mercer opened fire on Thursday inside a classroom at Umpqua Community College and then killed himself when police arrived.
A police source told the Associated Press that Mercer complained in the document about not having a girlfriend.
He also wrote that everyone else was "crazy" and that he was the sane one.
Mercer is also said to have written that other mass killers "were denied everything they deserved and wanted" before going on to say he did not believe anything could "make me realise I had so much going for me", People magazine reported, quoting a source close to the investigation.
Meanwhile President Barack Obama announced on Monday that he would travel to Roseburg, Oregon, on Friday to visit survivors and relatives of the victims.
The 26-year-old Mercer lived with his mother, Laurel Margaret Harper, in an apartment a few miles from the college.
Police have interviewed Ms Harper and she told them that Mercer had been suffering from mental problems.
Ms Harper, a nurse, posted on websites over past several years about the difficulties of having a son with Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism that she also suffered from.
She wrote that her son used to bang his head against the wall and that she also attempted to counsel other parents whose children had similar difficulties, the New York Times reported.
Ms Harper also wrote about her son's knowledge of firearms, saying he was her main source of information about guns and revealing they kept Kalashnikov and Armalite semi-automatic rifles and a Glock handgun in the house.
Police recovered a total of 14 firearms and spare ammunition magazines that had been bought legally by Mercer or a relative. Mercer had six guns with him when he began his attack and the rest were found at his home, the newspaper reported.
Mercer had been discharged from the US Army in 2008 after failing to complete basic training. According to online postings, he had been in search of a girlfriend.
In a dating profile apparently belonging to Mercer on the Spiritual Passions website under the username Ironcross45, the non-smoking teetotaller described himself as "shy at first, but [I] warm up quickly, better in small groups".
Survivors had previously suggested that Mercer had left a message for police.
Summer Smith, the mother of one of the survivors, said Mercer singled out her son, Matthew, and decided not to kill him.
"The shooter asked him to give the police something, and that if he did, he would live," Ms Smith told CNN on Monday.
Ms Smith said Matthew was handed an envelope, with what appeared to be a thumb-size computer hard drive inside.
He then was forced to watch as Mercer shot and killed his classmates, Ms Smith said.
"Matthew said that he froze. He didn't make a single move. He was afraid to look away," she told CNN.
Sean Maguire and Callum Robinson both tested Owls keeper Keiren Westwood as the hosts had the better chances.
After substitute Ross Wallace fired over for the visitors, former Wednesday defender Tommy Spurr headed against the bar at the other end.
Johnson scored the winner from the spot after Tom Lees brought down Jordan Hugill in the area.
In a summer of change at Deepdale, former Norwich boss Neil replaced Simon Grayson who left for Sunderland in June.
The 36-year-old is likely to have been impressed with the performance from his new team, as they beat a side which had reached the Championship play-offs in the past two seasons.
At the start of the Owls' 150th anniversary campaign, the visitors struggled to threaten with their best chances falling to Glenn Loovens, who tested Chris Maxwell early on, and Wallace.
Robinson could have given the hosts the lead with a header which he directed straight at Westwood before curling a shot around the post.
Preston manager Alex Neil:
"Our strength is that we have such a good team spirit, they work so hard for each other and we got what we deserved today.
"When you have that amount of pressure, you want what you deserve. We could and maybe should have scored more.
"That's three points on the board now. Notoriously in the last two seasons we've not started well so it's pleasing to get three points on the board."
Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal:
"We deserved to lose the game. We were out of everything. We ran too much in the first half but with no brain.
"We didn't win too many second balls, Preston won all the second balls. We had one or two chances, Preston had more than us so congratulations to Preston.
"No excuses about us, we must do much better to win games in the Championship and we must analyse this game to do better in the future."

Selby started well with two centuries to lead 3-1 but Williams produced 106 to be 5-4 down at the interval.
Neither man held a two-frame lead after the restart until Selby closed out after a fine 124 break to move 9-8 up.
Defeat means Williams' compatriot Ryan Day stays in the world's top-16 and qualifies for the World Championship.
Victory for Williams would have moved him from 22 in the world into the top-16 and offered an automatic place in the draw for the tournament in Sheffield, which starts on 15 April.
The two-time champion will now have to win three best-of-19-frame preliminary matches in the qualifying event at Ponds Forge in Sheffield from 5-12 April if he is to be in the 32-man draw for the Crucible.
The draw for qualifying takes place on Sunday night and those in it will dream of emulating Selby, who since winning the tournament for the second time last year, has maintained fine form.
Victory in Beijing - where he walked away with an £85,000 first prize - was his fourth ranking tournament success of the season, his previous best campaign coming in 2014-15 with two wins. He will head to the World Championships with a tightened grip on the world number one spot, with Judd Trump in second.
Williams, who has not won a ranking event since the 2011 German Masters, may look to the fourth frame as key. Trailing 2-1, he potted the opening red but brushed the brown with his cue, allowing Selby to take to the table and move 3-1 up with a 106 break.
It was not until frame 13 that Williams held a lead. Selby hauled level with a break of 95 and though Williams again edged 8-7 ahead, Selby's clearance of 70 tied at 8-8.
The Jester from Leicester delivered three centuries in all, his 124 in the penultimate frame key as he prepared for his world title defence by winning the 11th ranking title of his career.

Poet Liu Xia has not been in touch with anyone since about a day before her husband's death and has been "held incommunicado in an unknown location by the Chinese authorities", her US-based lawyer said.
Jared Genser's comments came in a statement to the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances.
Mr Liu died of liver cancer last month.
He was the first Nobel Peace Prize laureate to die in custody since German pacifist Carl von Ossietzky, who died in Nazi Germany in 1938.
In a statement to the AFP news agency, Mr Genser said: "I demand that Chinese authorities immediately provide proof that Liu Xia is alive and allow her unhindered access to her family, friends, counsel, and the international community."
He said her whereabouts had been unknown since Mr Liu's funeral on 15 July.
The US, the EU, the UN high commissioner for human rights and Amnesty International have all called on Beijing to free Liu Xia, 56, who has been held under house arrest without charge since her husband won the Nobel prize in 2010.
Chinese authorities have insisted she is a free citizen, and that the grief induced by her husband's death has prevented her from getting in touch with friends or her lawyer.
The committee that awards the Nobel Peace Prize has said it is "deeply worried" about Liu Xia amid concern about her mental health. She is said to be suffering from depression after spending years under house arrest and heavy surveillance.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has called on the Chinese authorities to "lift all restrictions they have put upon her", adding: "If she wants to leave China, there is no justification for denying her the opportunity to do so."

He follows the route of Cameroonian striker Karl Toko Ekambi, who switched from Sochaux to Angers on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old was top scorer in Ligue 2 last season with 21 goals for Clermont Foot, where he was on loan. He was also Ligue 2 player of the year.
Diedhiou, who has been capped once by Senegal, joined Sochaux in 2014.
Another African on the move is veteran defender Henri Bedimo who joins Olympique Marseille from rivals Lyon, after signing a deal that will keep him at the Stade Velodrome until 2019.
It will be the Cameroonian's eighth French club.
"I love challenges and I believe I have joined a competitive side in Marseille," Bedimo told the club's website.
Bedimo, who has played 222 Ligue 1 matches, has turned out for Grenoble, Toulouse, Le Havre, Chateauroux, Lens and Montpellier - with whom he won the title in 2012 - before spending the last three seasons in Lyon.
Eleuterio Huidobro told Reuters news agency that Uruguay had not imposed or accepted any conditions when it agreed to receive the former inmates.
The six men arrived in Montevideo on Sunday after being freed by the US.
They spent 12 years in jail for alleged ties with al-Qaeda but were never charged.
The former inmates - four Syrians, a Palestinian and a Tunisian - were taken to a military hospital for health checks.
The Pentagon identified them as Abu Wael Dhiab, Ali Husain Shaaban, Ahmed Adnan Ajuri, and Abdelahdi Faraj, from Syria; Palestinian Mohammed Abdullah Taha Mattan, and Adel bin Muhammad El Ouerghi, from Tunisia.
Uruguayan President Jose Mujica said they had been subjected to "an atrocious kidnapping".
Mr Huidobro told Reuters: "They will not be restricted in any way. Their status is that of refugees and immigrants."
US President Barack Obama has pledged to close the camp in Cuba, which was opened in 2002 as a place to detain enemy combatants in America's war on terror.
About half of the 136 men still in Guantanamo have been cleared for transfer but have nowhere to go because their countries are unstable or unsafe.
In Latin America, El Salvador is the only other country to have given Guantanamo prisoners sanctuary, taking two in 2012.
One of the former detainees, Abdelahdi Faraj, published an open letter through his lawyer in New York thanking Mr Mujica for his decision.
"Were it not for Uruguay, I would still be in the black hole in Cuba today," he said.
"I have no words to express how grateful I am for the immense trust that you, the Uruguayan people, have placed in me and the other prisoners by opening the doors to your country."
Mr Mujica was himself held for over a decade in harsh prison conditions during Uruguay's period of military rule in the 1970s and 1980s.
He made the decision to take detainees from Guantanamo in March but the move was delayed until after November's presidential elections.
He was constitutionally barred from seeking re-election, but the vote was won by his party's candidate, Tabare Vasquez, who begins his term in March.
Figures obtained by the BBC show that there have been more than 300 disciplinary incidents in the past three years on the navy's 13 submarines, including 42 cases of misconduct or unfitness through alcohol or drugs.
The list of disciplinary offences, provided following a freedom of information request, itemises 13 instances of misconduct or unfitness due to alcohol or drugs on the four Trident submarines, which carry nuclear weapons as the nation's nuclear deterrent.
It also details eight drink or drug related incidents on HMS Astute, the submarine on which a junior rating shot dead an officer in April 2011 after binge drinking while on shore leave. All eight cases occurred after this shooting.
An inquest last month into the death of Lt Cdr Ian Molyneux focused attention on what was described as a culture of excessive drinking among the submarine's personnel.
The inquest was told that Able Seaman Ryan Donovan had drunk more than 20 pints of cider and lager over two days before the attack, in which he also shot and injured another officer while the submarine was docked in Southampton.
Police investigating the murder were so alarmed about heavy drinking by the crew while ashore that the senior officer wrote to Hampshire's Chief Constable to highlight the issue and the warning was passed to military authorities.
The coroner Keith Wiseman said a culture of drinking to excess had to stop, and recommended that a system of random alcohol testing for crew should be introduced.
The Royal Navy has tightened its rules on alcohol consumption before duty. "We take all disciplinary offences seriously," a navy spokesman said.
"Although alcohol is available on board Royal Navy ships and submarines, its consumption is extremely limited and the RN's promotion of healthy living, coupled with the professionalism of modern sailors, means that fewer sailors drink at sea than ever before," he added.
"This is particularly true of the submarine service due to the demands of operating the boat and the restrictions of working a continuous six-hour watch routine."
The most common form of misconduct within the submarine service is going absent without leave, which accounts for about half the incidents.
Alcohol and drug related misbehaviour is the next most frequent issue. According to the Ministry of Defence, these cases mainly involve alcohol rather than drugs.
Those involved are generally punished by a mixture of fines, restriction of privileges and stopping of shore leave.
The navy provided the BBC with details of 311 disciplinary incidents since January 2010 involving service personnel serving on submarines. This covers the 13 submarines in the service, but it can be difficult to contrast the disciplinary records of the various vessels without knowing their schedules and extent of times at sea.
The four Trident submarines are the V-class ones, Vanguard, Victorious, Vigilant and Vengeance.

He was rewarded for being the only solo artist to sell more than one million albums in both the UK and US in 2014.
Now the star's childhood music teacher, Joanna Eden, has said she ''shed a few tears'' at his success.
Kenny Tete scored an own goal, before Kluivert, who made his Ajax debut in January, tapped in a 32nd-minute equaliser.
Kluivert Sr was 18 years and 58 days when he scored his first Ajax goal.
He was at Ajax between 1994 and 1997, winning two Dutch Eredivisie titles and the Champions League.
He scored 39 goals in 70 appearances for the Amsterdam club, before going on to play for AC Milan and Barcelona in a 14-year career.
The 40-year-old is now director of football at French champions Paris St-Germain.
Kluivert Jr, a winger, came through the Ajax academy and has represented the Netherlands at various age groups.

Release dates for films and TV shows are usually delayed in Australia and neighbouring New Zealand.
This has continued with digital content lagging behind, especially when it comes to streaming services like Netflix, while prices for digital content are much higher.
"Companies are charging more because they think they can," says Erin Turner, campaigns manager at Australian consumer rights group Choice.
"There's no higher delivery cost. It's not like you have to ship digital content to Australia."
This has become known as the "Australia Tax", which was detailed in a report from Choice, showing that Aussies pay much more than others, while a second report showed that consumers still access US- or UK-based streaming services via means such as VPNs.
"Well over 300,000 households already are on the US Netflix," explains Ms Turner.
In November Netflix announced it would finally be launching in Australia and New Zealand in March, but online piracy remains a significant issue for the government and ISPs.
Piracy is not a problem unique to down under, but it has led to particularly strong pressure from rights holders on ISPs to deal with pirates and even on Netflix to block the use of VPNs.
To clarify the point, the use of VPNs is legal but for many rights holders it can be a pain when customers jump over geo-restrictions as the content is not licensed to that particular country.
While VPN use is bothersome to the studios, it remains a legitimate method of accessing content.
However at the same time, piracy and accessing content illegally is even more common. It serves as a reminder that Australians will use whatever method they can to access the content they want, even if that means pirating.
This has forced the Australian government's hand into setting an April deadline for ISPs and rights holders to set a code relating to piracy, which may include requests to block certain piracy sites.
If no arrangement can be made, the government will set one itself under the Telecommunications Act or the Copyright Act, says minister for communications Malcolm Turnbull, but he insists that any blocking is "not an internet filter".
"What we have got to make sure is the measures we employ are the most efficient, impose the least cost on the industry and consumers, and obviously are carefully monitored to make sure that they are effective," says Mr Turnbull.
A number of ISPs say they are willing to work with rights holders on the best possible code, but the shape it will take remains unclear.
"We stand ready to work with rights holders and other ISPs to implement these measures quickly, efficiently and with minimal impact on our customers," says Jane van Beelen, executive director of regulatory affairs at Telstra, though it is unknown how the costs will affect ISPs.
Australia's Optus, which operates Virgin Mobile, says it, too, is welcoming the arrival of more services down under but could not comment on the piracy code talks.
"About 33% of Australians illegally download content, and when we asked them about the reasons behind this, the main motivators were access, affordability and timeliness," says Ms Turner.
"Most people accept that it is reasonable to pay," adds Mr Turnbull.
"Their incentive to steal stuff is obviously increased by a. the cost of buying content legitimately and b. and I think this is just as big an issue, the convenience or lack of convenience of buying stuff legitimately."
Would the long awaited arrival of Netflix in Australia stem piracy, or at least contribute in some way if it creates timeliness and convenience?
"In terms of it stemming national issues, either access or affordability, it really depends on what's on the service," says Ms Turner.
When contacted for comment in late December, Netflix said it still has not set a price for its Australian and New Zealand services or what content will be available beyond what was mentioned in the press release.
There are home-grown options for customers too, such as Telstra's BigPond Movies, which saw five million downloads between December 2013 and December 2014, but its offering is small pickings compared to that of the US Netflix and the demand for the bigger players remains high.
In a bid to meet demand, some ISPs have taken a little more initiative. In neighbouring New Zealand, Slingshot launched Global Mode, which allows users to access typically geo-restricted content.
"Global Mode is designed to make it easy for Kiwis to bypass geo-blocking, and access content that is available in countries like the US and UK," says Taryn Hamilton, general manager of Slingshot, who says the feature has been very successful.
This is despite a number of New Zealand TV stations refusing to air ads for the service, believing it essentially amounts to piracy.
"We hope that in the long term Global Mode will become redundant, but that won't happen until Kiwis can access content on the same terms as those overseas can."
Slingshot is similar in some ways to VPN services, which mask the user's IP address and connect to a server in a different country.
One of the major selling points for VPNs is privacy, which is why a number of services, like TunnelBear, will not confirm how many Australian and NZ users it has, but say that numbers are growing.
"For privacy reasons, we don't track where our users are connecting from," says Ryan Dochuk, co-founder of TunnelBear.
"However, I can tell you we've seen tremendous growth globally over the past couple years, with over four million users in 179 countries.
"We also think location privacy is best for consumers, as well as competition among content providers on the internet."
Mr Hamilton says Global Mode, which is primarily used to access Netflix, will continue to be available after the official New Zealand launch as it can still be used to access other sites, which have content unavailable to Kiwis.
"It's old school thinking to launch content piecemeal around the world," he says, "especially when you have territories champing at the bit to get your service, and when there is an easy alternative in pirating content."
The playing field may begin to level out for content accessibility down under, but there are still many obstacles for ISPs, rights holders, and governments to address in the coming year.
The charity, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, denies accusations that it is a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group.
Punjab officials say the funds were humanitarian in nature and were not given directly to the charity.
Jamaat-ud-Dawa and four senior Lashkar-e-Taiba leaders were added to a UN sanctions list in December 2008.
They were accused of having links to al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The move by the UN Security Council came shortly after attacks on the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay), for which Lashkar-e-Taiba was blamed.
It is the first time that the authorities in Pakistan have formally admitted allocating money to institutions linked to Jamaat-ud-Dawa, BBC correspondents say.
The government has long been under international pressure to crack down on militants or groups suspected of supporting them. There was no immediate response from the government in Islamabad.
News that schools and hospitals run by Jamaat-ud-Dawa have received Pakistan state help is unlikely to go down well with the Indian or US governments.
Peaceful school or 'terror' base?

Pakistan cleric to 'stay free'
Funding details came to light when the Punjab provincial government published spending figures for 2009-10.
"At least 80 million rupees [$940,000] have been allocated for the institutions [linked to Jamaat-ud-Dawa] during the current fiscal year," Rana Sanaullah, a senior Punjab minister, told the BBC.
However, he maintained that the institutions - which include two schools and a hospital - were no longer attached to Jamaat-ud-Dawa.
"The government has taken control of the schools and appointed an administrator to run each of them."
He said the UN had been notified as the issue was a humanitarian one.
"There was a boys' school with 400 students, a girls' high school with 350 students and a hospital which addressed the needs of the entire area in question.
"If we had closed down the institutions it would have proved counter-productive. It would have aggravated the sentiments of the people and made them sympathise with [Jamaat-ud-]Dawa."
When asked why the Punjab government had allotted money in the budget for institutions it managed, a spokesman for Jamaat-ud-Dawa, Hafiz Abdur Rehman, said: "The truth is that we are ourselves astonished at this."
He said the institutions in question were now being managed by the charity.
"When restrictions were initially imposed upon us, the Punjab government did appoint an administrator but it was neither liked nor accepted by our people.
"By the grace of God, now everything is running exactly the way it was running under the Jamaat's system."
Jamaat-ud-Dawa has frequently denied accusations that some of its schools are used as militant training camps.
Its leader is Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, who set up Lashkar-e-Taiba, one of most feared groups fighting against Indian rule in part of the disputed territory of Kashmir.
After it was banned in Pakistan in 2002, the organisation divided itself into Jamaat-ud-Dawa and Lashkar-e-Taiba, correspondents say.
Jamaat-ud-Dawa now works as an Islamic charity all over Pakistan. It played a major role in relief efforts following the Kashmir earthquake in 2005.
Pakistan arrested Lashkar-e-Taiba's senior leaders after the Mumbai attacks. But most of them, including Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, were later freed on appeal.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and ex-chancellor George Osborne are among those whose seats would be abolished.
Most constituencies are affected by the bid to cut the number of MPs in the Commons and create equal-sized seats.
Labour - expected to be hit hardest - said the proposals were "undemocratic".
But the government said they would "ensure an equal say for each voter".
The number of MPs would be cut from 533 to 501 in England, from 40 to 29 in Wales, from 59 to 53 in Scotland and from 18 to 17 in Northern Ireland.
The newly-published draft Boundary Commission proposals for England and Wales follow those for Northern Ireland, which were published on 6 September, with plans for Scotland expected on 20 October.
Despite his criticism of the proposals, Mr Corbyn said he was confident of remaining as an MP if they come into force.
The Labour leader represents the Islington North constituency in London, and much of it is expected to form part of a new Finsbury Park and Stoke Newington seat.
Mr Osborne, meanwhile, sees his Tatton seat in Cheshire abolished.
He said he "fully supports" the boundary review, saying it was "very unfair at present that not all constituencies of equal size".
"We've now seen the first draft of the proposals. Whatever the final boundaries, I look forward to putting myself forward to voters for re-election for Cheshire in 2020."
Among the other proposals:
After a previous reform attempt was scuppered by the Lib Dems in coalition, the Conservatives promised to "address the unfairness of the current Parliamentary boundaries" in their 2015 general election manifesto.
A public consultation is under way into the reforms, with final proposals due in October 2018. If agreed by Parliament the new boundaries would be in place by the 2020 general election.
Labour MPs who have clashed with Mr Corbyn will be wary of facing reselections by the party membership, where the leader's support is concentrated.
Under existing Labour Party rules, if a new constituency contains 40% or more of a previous constituency, that seat's MP is entitled to seek selection.
Darren Williams, on Labour's ruling body, said the boundary changes "present an opportunity" for Labour to select parliamentary candidates who support Mr Corbyn.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said that some MPs' behaviour had been "shocking" and disloyal to the leadership and members had a right to have a say.
Where there was substantial change he said he would welcome a "full open selection".
Mr Ashworth said Mr Corbyn's team would be "tearing their hair out" at that suggestion, saying it was not position of the leader.
"This is not about de-selecting MPs and if people think it is they'll be in for a shock," he said, adding that there were rules in place allowing MPs to contest seats "where they've got a claim".
The reduction in the number of seats leaves both Labour and Tory colleagues competing for constituencies in some areas.
Conservative chairman Sir Patrick McLoughlin said the party would follow a policy of "no colleague left behind" to minimise the disruption to sitting MPs.
"This constructive approach is in strong contrast to the Labour Party which is riddled with infighting and threats of deselection," he said.
He welcomed the proposals, saying without them MPs could have ended up representing constituencies based on data that is over 20 years old.
But opposition parties criticised the decision to base the review on electoral data from December 2015, saying this was out of date because it did not include nearly two million additional voters who registered ahead of June's EU referendum.
The Boundary Commission for England said government legislation required it to use the December 2015 data.
With four exceptions, every seat in the UK will have no fewer than 71,031 and no more than 78,507 electors.
Labour is forecast to be worst affected by the changes, as a larger proportion of its seats contain fewer than the prescribed minimum number of voters.
According to a seat-by-seat analysis by YouGov research director Anthony Wells, who runs the UK Polling Report website, Labour would have 28 fewer MPs if the 2015 general election had been run on the new boundaries.
The Conservatives would be down 10 seats and the Lib Dems four.
However, the assessment does not take into account the possibility that people might vote differently if they lived in a different constituency.
Labour shadow minister Jon Ashworth said: "Constitutional changes should be done fairly and consensually, to ensure that everyone is given a voice.
"There is nothing fair about redrawing boundaries with millions left out, and reducing the number of elected MPs while the unelected House of Lords continues to grow."
"These changes are not about fairness to voters, they are about what is best for the Tory Party and they must not go ahead. The commission must rethink and ensure that no elector loses out."
The Liberal Democrats said they were "confident" of retaining their eight seats under the new boundaries, but criticised the review.
"Tory claims that this process will lead to 'equal votes of equal value' are plain wrong," said a party spokesman. "This process will still leave a plethora of safe seats across the country, and millions of votes which don't count."
The Electoral Reform Society criticised the decision to base the new boundaries on registered voters, rather than the actual population, saying this "risks skewing our democracy".
Conservative Constitution Minister Chris Skidmore said the government was "committed to ensuring fair and equal representation for the voting public across the UK is in place by the next general election".
He said the process would save taxpayers £66m over five years by cutting the number of MPs, adding: "As it stands, some constituencies have twice as many electors as other constituencies and that cannot be right."
But secretary for the Boundary Commission in England Sam Hartley said the number of constituents for each seat on the UK mainland ranged from about 55,000 to 90-95,000 and the review was an attempt to standardise that.
The commission did not take political ramifications into account, but took an independent view, he stressed.
People could give their feedback online or to staff as they travelled around the country during the 12-week consultation, he said

It's part of a region in Paris with a large Muslim population.
A number of mosques have already been attacked in France, and there's been an explosion at a kebab shop next to a mosque in Paris.
The attacks happened after 12 people were killed at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday.
It had previously published cartoons which mocked the Prophet Mohammad.
On Saturday four hostages were killed during an attack on a Jewish grocery store.
Justin said: "Some of my Muslim friends have received a few negative comments. I hope it stops."
"It's not a good situation, it's not good for our image," 16-year-old Ali told Newsbeat.
He condemns the terror attacks but doesn't believe journalists have an unlimited right to offend people.
"It wasn't good to make these cartoons about the prophet, but it was also not good to kill people. Both were wrong," he said.
France has the biggest Muslim community in Europe. Islam is the second religion here, after Catholicism.
"The Muslim community don't feel guilty about the attacks. Terrorism doesn't refer to our religion - we condemn these acts totally," 23-year-old Chehine told Newsbeat.
"The problem is 12 people are dead. All the media talk about it. But in Iraq, in Syria, and in Palestine, every day thousands of people are dead, and no one talks about it. That's the real problem."
His friend Ahmed, also 23, fears there will be tension between the Muslim community and other communities in Paris due to the attacks.
"I think there will be some difficulties in relations with other religions because they think Muslims are to blame, but they're not. The attackers were extremists."
France is secular. Muslim girls are banned from wearing a veil in public schools here, while Jewish boys can't wear a skullcap (yarmulke).
In the Jewish quarter in central Paris, armed police stand guard outside local Synagogues.
"We don't feel safe," 23-year-old Ana, an employee at a clothes store on Rue des Rosiers, told Newsbeat.
"I'm quite worried because we are in a Jewish area. I'd like to see more police on the streets. Some crazy guy with a gun could come here."
France has the biggest Jewish community in Europe and many here are nervous more attacks could take place.
"I'm pessimistic. (The Jewish community) are afraid." 28-year-old Yohann told Newsbeat. "I think a lot of Jewish people will go back or go to Israel now. It was already happening. I think there is a divide between communities."
On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted to the terror attacks by telling French Jews that Israel is their home.
French President Francois Hollande has called for unity. On Saturday about 700,000 people took part in marches across France in memory of the victims of the terror attacks.
"Society has changed. There are still disagreements between communities, but less than before," 19-year-old Riad, who's a Muslim, told Newsbeat. He believes the murders have shown that communities aren't as divided as sometimes portrayed.
"People think that terrorists are Muslim, but it's only a very small minority of Muslims, some extremists, radicals. It's not the religion that made the terrorist."

He is thought to have been playing with other children at a house in Mijas, on the Costa del Sol, when he fell into the pool.
Emergency services were called to the property on Sunday evening but he could not be saved.
The Foreign Office confirmed the death and said it was offering support to the child's family.
A spokesman for local authority Ayuntamiento de Mijas said there were 20 people at the property when the child died at the Mijas Golf resort in Las Lagunas, Mijas.
It is understood his parents had been entertaining friends at their rented holiday apartment when the accident happened.
A 15-year-old boy then sounded the alarm, according to Spanish newspaper Diario Sur. The four-year-old died at about 21:00 local time (20:00 BST).
A post-mortem examination was due to take place in Malaga on Monday.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Spain on 16 August.
"We are in contact with local authorities and have provided the family with advice on bereavement abroad, including on repatriation."

Dibben, 22, is a challenger to Mark Cavendish for the six-discipline omnium event at the Games, in Rio in August.
According to British Cycling, Dibben damaged his left elbow during the ZLM Roompot tour at the weekend.
Cavendish was sixth in the omnium at the World Championships but won the madison with Sir Bradley Wiggins.
Whoever is selected in the omnium will be the fifth rider for the four-man, 4km team pursuit and must be able to slot into a squad seeking Olympic gold.
Cavendish, who has won 26 stages on the Tour de France stage, has yet to win an Olympic medal.
He was ninth in the madison with Wiggins in Beijing in 2008 and 29th in the road race on the opening day of London 2012.
Dubbed Mrs Christmas, Betty Ann Jones, 72, has installed 12,000 twinkling fairy lights, a mountain of fake snow and 5,000 toys and tiny ornaments.
She has been decorating her home in Pontardawe, near Swansea, for eight years and last year raised £12,000 for charity.
Her husband has also built a nativity scene.
"I just love Christmas - and I want everyone else to love it as much as I do. It is well worth a fiver of anyone's money," she said.
"I have thousands of beautiful intricately designed ornaments from all over the world but most have come from German Christmas markets.
"I went every year for 16 years and always came home with arms full of unique decorations."
Farooq Shah, 21, of Station Road, Forest Gate, east London, stabbed Mariana Popa to death in Ilford Lane, Redbridge, on 28 October.
Shah was ordered to serve a minimum of 28 years for the murder and received a concurrent six year sentence for robbery.
The Met Police said he had "deprived a young daughter of her mother".
Ms Popa, a Romanian national, had arrived in the UK only weeks before her murder, police said.
She had a six-year-old daughter and was in the early stages of pregnancy at the time of her death, officers said.
On 28 October police patrolling the area said they spoke to her three times and issued her with a caution for soliciting.
CCTV footage showed Ms Popa walking along with Shah and his bicycle shortly before 00:00 BST, before he took a knife from his back pocket and stabbed her in the chest.
Shah made off on his bike, while Ms Popa ran to a nearby shop where she collapsed. She was taken to an east London hospital where she died shortly afterwards.
The post-mortem examination found the 24-year-old died from shock and haemorrhage and stab wounds to the chest.
About 400 hours of CCTV footage was reviewed during the investigation and officers were able to identify the bicycle used by Shah during the attack and track his movements to an area around St Francis Way.
During door-to-door enquiries on 6 November the bike was discovered in the area and Shah was arrested inside a flat by police.
A mobile phone was also found at the flat and officers discovered that less than an hour before the killing Shah robbed a partially sighted man in his 50s in Harold Road, Upton Park.
The victim was able to describe his robber's distinctive thick beard, police said.
Det Insp Darren Richards, from the Met Police, said: "Shah has never given any reason or expressed any remorse for killing Mariana.
"Fortunately he was caught on camera and we were able to put together his movements and bring him before the courts.
"His callous murder has deprived a young daughter of her mother and a family of their loved one.
"I hope today's sentence brings some sense of justice for them."
HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) assessed four forces' crime recording.
Merseyside and Devon and Cornwall were both rated "inadequate" after inspectors found they were under-reporting serious crimes including violent and sexual offences.
Inspectors said Northumbria and Avon and Somerset "required improvement".
Surrey Police 'still not doing enough to protect children'
HMIC said Merseyside Police recorded only about 84% of crimes reported to it and failed to record an estimated 19,200 reported crimes each year.
Inspector of Constabulary Mike Cunningham said crime recording processes within the Merseyside force were "not fully effective".
Merseyside was under-recording too many reports of violent and sexual offences, excluding rape, the report said.
It added: "Those failings are depriving many victims of the services to which they are entitled and are a cause of concern."
Deputy Chief Constable Carl Foulkes, of Merseyside Police, said the force had already implemented some recommendations and was "working to rectify other areas raised".
Devon and Cornwall Police was also rated "inadequate", after inspectors found it was only recording 82% of crimes, amounting to more than 17,400 crimes not being recorded.

"I was most concerned to find that the [Devon and Cornwall] force had failed to record reports of rape, serious sexual assault and offences of serious assault and human trafficking," Wendy Williams, another inspector from the watchdog, said.
She said victims were not getting enough service when they initially reported crime.
Devon and Cornwall Police accepted it had to put better processes in place to accurately record all crime.
"We don't believe that in the vast majority of circumstances we have not supported a victim," Deputy Chief Constable James Vaughan said.
"This is more about recording a crime, helping a victim, but then not properly updating systems around supplementary crimes related to the same investigation."
The Avon and Somerset and Northumbria forces were both judged as "requiring improvement" after they were found to be recording about 90% and 93% of crimes reported to them respectively.
They were both criticised for under-recording serious offences such as rape.
Both forces said they recognised that, while they had made improvements since inspections in 2014, "there was still more work to be done".
The forces are the latest to come under scrutiny as part of rolling inspections looking at the crime data integrity of every police force in England and Wales.
Scotsman Ridgers, 26, has been released by Orlando City B, the Major League Soccer side's second string.
Stuckmann joined Thistle in September after leaving Doncaster Rovers and the 35-year-old played five times for the Scottish Premiership club.
But first-choice Tomas Cerny has returned from injury.
Stuckmann, who previously played for Preussen Munster, Eintracht Braunschweig, Alemannia Aachen and Preston North End, played in two wins and three defeats.
Ridgers began his career with Ross County but had to wait until Hearts sent him on loan to East Fife before making a first-team appearance.
He also had a spell at Airdrie before being given his Hearts debut.
However, he only made four appearances for the Edinburgh club before moving to St Mirren in 2014.

He made 28 appearances as his side finished eighth in the table in the 2016 season.
New Heritage Solutions wants its Eighth In The East project to collect the stories of Americans who served and local people who lived near the bases 1942-45.
The project has been awarded the grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
It aims to work with local museums, record memories and collect photos.
The project will look at the 67 airfields in the East which provided bases for USAF bombing raids over Germany.
About 200,000 US personnel served in East Anglia in what became known as the 'friendly invasion'.
Nick Patrick, project leader, said: "The actual airfields themselves are decaying and the people who've kept alive this history are sadly passing away, as the air crew are too.
"There are some tremendous voluntary museums that keep this heritage alive, such as Horham and Parham in Suffolk, but they need young people to come in and take up this history.
"We hope by the end of the three year project there will be things like cycling and walking tours, museum offers and people coming to East Anglia will know about this history."
The airfields had up to 4,000 people living on them and the project covers Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire and Suffolk.
The Eastern Angles Theatre Company is also involved in the project.
Its artistic director Ivan Cutting is also the creative director for the Eighth In The East project.
He said: "The ambition is to deliver new skills through project activities and encourage the next generation of archaeologists, museum curators, photographers, film-makers and creative writers." | A mass brawl marred the end of a Copa Libertadores game and Palmeiras claimed their players were deliberately stopped from leaving the pitch by Penarol.

John Vanderwolfe said the computer "actually started to shake" after he mistakenly opened the email sent to Tiverton Town Council in Devon.
The email claimed to be from a parcel delivery firm and infected all the council's computers.
Mr Vanderwolfe said it was the worst thing to happen in his 12 years there.
For more on the email blunder story, and other news
"Unfortunately I pressed the button and immediately I could tell there was something wrong because the actual machine started to shake," Mr Vanderwolfe said.
"Within a few minutes it had encrypted all our data which means of course that we can't get hold of it.
"It's what's called a ransom email which tells you that if you pay a large sum of money they will de-encrypt it for you but there's no guarantee of that."
Most of the lost documents are letters - finance and planning documents were saved because they are on another system.
But the lost letters could take months to rescan and upload. The council is now looking into computer security measures.
"In hindsight you can see there are perhaps signs of danger but you get so many emails," he said.
"These things happen and I didn't do it on purpose. You keep thinking, 'if only I had not pressed that button'.
"I am now afraid to open anything."

Stephen Mansbridge, who resigned last year in protest over how the borough council was run, said a DEM would be a real opportunity for the Surrey town.
Councillor Tony Rooth said it would be too costly and he could become "a dictator".
A referendum is being held on 13 October to decide the issue.
The vote was triggered by a petition signed by 5,269 residents.
Guildford currently has a ceremonial mayor appointed by the council.
There are currently 17 elected mayors in England, including those in London, Bristol and Liverpool.
Guildford Borough Council said the current leader, Councillor Paul Spooner, receives £22,092 in allowances.
DEM salaries elsewhere in the country are £65,000 but the council would have to agree a salary on the recommendation of an independent panel.
The cost of the referendum is estimated at £130,000.
"I left because I felt that councillors had put in place a system of governance that was weak and that will not deliver the decisions we need for Guildford to get into the 21st Century because its not there yet," said Mr Mansbridge.
"Guildford is not just another place. It should be the premier location outside London in the South East and it has been in decline for at least the last two or three years.
"We need to turn it around and make Guildford the place that it really can be."
Fellow Conservative Mr Rooth, also a former council leader, said having a DEM would cost a lot more money.
"It concentrates power and influence in the hands of one person, whereas at the moment all the 48 councillors elected by the residents have the choice of who the leader and his or her cabinet are," he said.

The 80-bed hotel forms part of a masterplan setting out how an area around Leanachan Forest could be developed.
The blueprint produced by Forest Enterprise Scotland and Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has been approved by Highland councillors.
Lodges and an area for cabins, yurts, bunkhouse or camping pods could also be created as part of the proposals.
Forest Enterprise Scotland and HIE will now start to work on attracting investors in the project. As much as £25m could be invested in the plan, the organisations said.
Leanachan Forest lies between Spean Bridge and Fort William.
Ben Lennon, Forest Enterprise Scotland's district manager for Lochaber, said the masterplan gave a "structured way forward" for development around the forest.
He said: "The area being proposed is fantastic and would be a big draw to all visitors who love dramatic landscapes and outdoor activities."
Scott Dingwall, head of regional development for Lochaber Skye and Wester Ross at HIE, said: "We have been working with Forest Enterprise Scotland to explore the further opportunities that Leanachan Forest offers.
"The approval of the masterplan provides further clarity as to the development potential of the area from a planning perspective, and is a key element in presenting the opportunity to the market."
The new building in Strontian would be designed in such a way that it could easily be converted into three terraced houses, or another community facility.
This conversion would happen if, in the future, Highland Council went ahead with its plan to relocate the primary to a nearby secondary school.
Highland councillors have described the community's plan as "innovative".
The local authority's education, children and adult services committee has agreed to recommend that the council relocate the primary to the community-built school on land close to Ardnamurchan High School.
The plan is dependent on Strontian Community School Building Ltd realising its ambition to fund and develop the project to replace the mid-1970s primary school building.
Education committee chairman Drew Millar said: "The community of Strontian have come forward with very innovative proposals that could allow them to own their school which would be a community asset that is leased back to Highland Council to provide primary education in the area.
"There has been a huge amount of work done so far on this proposal by council officers with the community and local members; this is a very good news story for both the council and the community."
Akinfenwa - nicknamed 'The Beast' - asked managers to "hit me up on WhatsApp" in his post-match interview.
The 34-year-old scored a 101st-minute injury-time penalty in the 2-0 win over Plymouth Argyle.
Embracing manager Neal Ardley, Akinfenwa shouted: "He's releasing me!"
AFC Wimbledon will play in English football's third tier for the first time in their history next season after sealing their sixth promotion since the club's formation in 2002 by fans of the old Wimbledon FC, following their relocation to Milton Keynes.
Cult hero Akinfenwa, who is known for his bulky physique and strength, told BBC Radio 5 live: "Come on now, there ain't no better way to send off. To see this team get promoted, to score with the last kick of the game, I couldn't even write that.
"I said let's complete this fairytale, and that's what we've done.
"I'm going to miss this team, I'm going to miss this place but there ain't no better way to leave it. It's about progression, and AFC Wimbledon are getting stronger and stronger.
"It's what dreams are made of, it's beautiful."
He told Sky Sports: "I think I'm technically unemployed, so any managers hit me up on the WhatsApp and get me a job."
AFC Wimbledon top scorer Lyle Taylor's goal looked to have settled the match and after Adebayo Azeez was fouled in the Plymouth penalty area 11 minutes into injury time, Callum Kennedy picked up the ball to take the spot kick.
But Akinfenwa grabbed it off him as the two players argued about who should take it, before Akinfenwa scored confidently to seal victory.
"I did promise Cal K (Kennedy) that I would let him take the pen, but it was just set up too beautifully and I'm bigger than Cal so Cal's unlucky. Sorry Cal K, I love you though, that's all it was.
"All them who said I was too big to play football, come on now, ha ha!"
The lower league journeyman later revealed to BBC Radio 5 live: "I'm going to be honest, I would have usually said I had it covered, that I knew I was going to score. But I was nervous. When it hit the back of the net it was elation."
Manager Ardley told a news conference after the game that the decision to release Akinfenwa was made during "reviews" in the week before Monday's final.
"Me and Bayo [Akinfenwa] had a very long, heartfelt chat," said Ardley. "It was left a little bit in the open, but I think it may end being being the best for both parties, him included, if he doesn't think he's going to play regularly because you can't tell me that that guy hasn't got two years of starting games still left in him.
"He's got his mojo back and it maybe that it goes that way, but we'll find out probably during the week."

His publisher said he passed away at a clinic in Luebeck on Monday morning.
Born in what was then Danzig, Grass served in the German military in World War Two and published his breakthrough anti-Nazi novel, The Tin Drum, in 1959.
Later in life he became a vocal opponent of German reunification in 1990, and argued afterwards that it had been carried out too hastily.
Grass's work was "a formidable reflection of our country and a permanent part of its literary and cultural heritage," German President Joachim Gauck said in a statement (in German).
Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier was "deeply dismayed" to hear of the author's death, the German foreign ministry tweeted.
Writer Salman Rushdie described Grass as "a true giant, inspiration, and friend".
Obituary: Guenter Grass
Grass's home town became the Polish city of Gdansk after the war; he spent much of his later life living near Luebeck.
Many of his writings focused on the Nazi era, the horrors of the war, and the destruction and guilt that remained after Germany's defeat.
Germans were shocked when he revealed in his 2006 memoir, Skinning the Onion, that as a teenager he had volunteered to join the army and had served in the Waffen-SS - the combat arm of Hitler's dreaded SS paramilitary force, which was responsible for atrocities throughout Nazi-occupied Europe.
Previous accounts of his life had suggested he had been an anti-aircraft gunner and had been conscripted into the military.
After the war he spent months in an American prisoner of war camp.
Guenter Grass was very committed politically, impulsive, emotional, and could be quite aggressive, said Annemarie Stoltenberg from German radio station NDR Kultur.
"For the first generation of post-war intellectuals the priority was to build a new justice system and democracy," she explained.
"Grass then came in the second wave, and said we must also tackle the issue of guilt and what had happened in the war."
The Tin Drum - part fairy tale, part survival story in a brutal world - had a biblical energy, according to Stoltenberg.
For Grass - who had attacked so many people before for not being open about their wartime past - the criticism when he admitted joining the Waffen-SS in his youth was a big blow, she said.
"But he had documents showing he had spoken about it earlier, and I don't think the attack on him was justified," she added.
Grass went on to train as a stonemason and then studied sculpture, and he remained active in the visual arts. His first book of poetry was published in 1956.
The author was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999, for portraying "the forgotten face of history".
Praising The Tin Drum, the Nobel committee said that it was "as if German literature had been granted a new beginning after decades of linguistic and moral destruction".
The magical realist novel's narrator decides to stop growing at the age of three, and watches the adult world around him as events overtake his family and Danzig. He communicates through his tin drum and is able to "drum up the past", reporting on events he has not witnessed.
Grass was politically engaged - campaigning for the Social Democratic Party - and was a major figure in German public life and discourse.
A poem published in 2012, What Must Be Said, sparked controversy for its strong criticism of Israel, which barred the writer from the country.
Grass was a deeply thoughtful and intelligent man who struggled, like many of his peers, to make sense of his and Germany's troubled past, according to the BBC's Arts Editor Will Gompertz.
For him, The Tin Drum is "a strange and brilliant book" that captured the nature of the 20th Century in a way few others have equalled.
An interim report in 2015 recommended that a London base be strengthened alongside the south Wales operations, where 2,000 people work.
It said there had been a "detrimental" effect on expertise when work was moved from London to Newport in 2007.
But Paymaster General Mathew Hancock, said: "We're going to back Newport," promising new investment in technology.
In August, former Bank of England deputy governor Sir Charlie Bean was appointed to lead a review of the ONS, and consider whether it was well-placed to cope with future challenges.
It prompted fears from union leaders that jobs could be lost in Newport.
His interim report in December said there had been a "significant - though not necessarily permanent - detrimental effect on the capability of ONS" when its statistical functions were moved out of London in 2007.
Sir Charlie's final report is due to be published before the Budget in March.
But Mr Hancock told BBC Radio Wales on Thursday that Newport would remain the main base of the ONS.
Speaking on Good Morning Wales, he said he wanted to build on "the talents of the people there, and the increasing strength of digital businesses in Newport and across south Wales in order to make sure we've got those skill sets that are needed."
He stressed the need to upgrade ONS resources, adding: "They say that there's more data that's been produced in the last two years than in the rest of history put together.
"That means if you're the people responsible for statistics and for data, you need bigger computers than ever before.
"So there'll be both the physical kit and making sure that the digital skills are there, but we've taken the decision to do all of that in Newport and back Newport."
However, it will offer trainee priests and Christians who are scientists the chance to engage with contemporary science.
The project - backed by the Church of England - is to receive more than £700,000 to promote greater engagement between science and Christians, as part of a three-year Durham University programme.
Trainee priests and others will be offered access to resources on contemporary science, and the scheme will research attitudes towards science among Church leaders.
Funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation, the project will invite proposals for grants of up to £10,000 for "scientists in congregations" to promote greater understanding of the relationship between science and faith.
While some contemporary scientists who are atheists - such as Richard Dawkins in his book The God Delusion - have termed faith not credible, and even delusional, others within science do not see the two as being mutually exclusive.
One of those leading the programme is the Rev Prof David Wilkinson, an astrophysicist in the department of theology and religion at Durham University.
"Too often Christian leaders have felt that science is a threat or have felt a lack of confidence in engaging with it," he says.
Prof Wilkinson became a Methodist minister after training and working in theoretical astrophysics on the origin of the universe.
"Many of the questions that faith and science posed to each other were fruitful," he says.
"For many different folk both inside and outside the church, science and religion don't have a simplistic relationship - and the model that says science has to be pitted against religion doesn't explain the history of a very interesting interaction.
"Today, many cosmologists are finding that some questions go beyond science - for example, where does the sense of awe in the universe come from?"
The idea of a battle between the two dates back to the medieval Church's condemnation of Galileo for his discovery that the Earth moves around the Sun rather than vice versa.
It took hundreds of years for the Church to admit that Galileo had a point.
But the real narrative of a conflict between science and religion was developed in the late 19th Century, and has proved remarkably persistent - not least because it makes for lively debates on TV, radio and the internet.
Many have said that science deals with facts, while religion deals with faith, though many others today say the two have overlapping interests - arguing that both share a desire to find out what is behind the Universe.
However, more recently, arguments over creationism and intelligent design have sometimes pitted one against the other.
"The old distinction that science is about facts and religious belief is about faith is far too simplistic," says Prof Wilkinson.
"Science involves evidence, but it also involves skills of judgement, and skills of assessing evidence.
"After all, you only have a limited amount of evidence to base your theory, and you have to trust your evidence - which isn't far from being Christian.
"It doesn't involve blind faith - and indeed religion is not good religion if it is simply based on blind faith.
"Christianity has to be open to interpretation about its claims about the world and experience."
For Prof Wilkinson, the two are absolutely not mutually exclusive.

He cites The Goldilocks Enigma by Paul Davies and his idea that, like the porridge in the tale of Goldilocks and the three bears, the universe seems to be "just right' for life" in many intriguing ways.
"I've had moments of 'Wow,' like that - where you are struck by the beauty and elegance not just of the Universe but the beautiful, simple laws of physics that underlie the Universe," Prof Wilkinson says.
That sense of wonder is echoed by Catholic priest and particle physicist Father Andrew Pinsent, who worked at the Cern laboratory.
Now research director at the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion at the University of Oxford, he believes it is "an extremely promising" time for research on science and religion.
However, he fears that the old "conflict metaphor" has been revived, and is shaping the way many think - especially if they have little actual knowledge of either science or religion.
Fr Pinsent welcomes the idea of training priests to have scientific knowledge, saying knowledge is an intrinsic good.
"Many priests already have considerable scientific training," he says.
"For example, when I trained as a Catholic priest in Rome, 10% of the seminarians in my college had higher degrees in science and medicine, whereas the average of the UK population is estimated to be under 1.5%.
"Moreover, two of the most important theories of modern science, genetics and the big bang, were both invented by priests."
He says that as a particle physicist, he was always impressed by the discovery of "beautiful patterns and symmetries in nature, mathematics at a deep level, and the extraordinary properties of light".
"These discoveries cannot, in themselves, be used to construct a formal proof of the existence of God, but they do evoke a sense of wonder to which a religious response is natural," he says.
Other scientists agree that the long-standing idea of a war between science and religion is a misconception - though they would not necessarily see the two as natural partners.
James D Williams, lecturer in science education at the University of Sussex, says: "Where we have issues, they generally revolve around people trying to reconcile science and religion or using religion to refute science.
"This misunderstands the nature of science.
"Science deals in the natural, religion the 'supernatural'.
"Science seeks explanations for natural phenomena, whereas religion seeks to understand meaning in life."
"In my view, science and religion cannot be integrated, that is, science cannot answer many of the questions religion poses and, likewise, religion cannot answer scientific questions."

It was Hamilton who stole the headlines, finding stunning pace in qualifying when he had appeared to be struggling all weekend.
The Briton had been unable to match Rosberg in the tricky final sector of slow corners throughout the practice sessions and in the first part of qualifying.
But in the second part of qualifying he found a massive amount of time, lapping 0.6secs quicker than Rosberg.
Hamilton was on course for an even quicker lap on his first run in the top-10 shoot-out, setting fastest times in the first two sectors of the lap, only to brake too late for the hairpin at Turn 10 and leave himself third, behind Rosberg and Verstappen.
It added extra pressure he really did not need, coming into this race 43 points behind Rosberg in the championship after a difficult first four races.
But in his final run he went faster in the first two sectors, and added the final part of the lap as well this time, to take pole by 0.280secs.
A smiling Hamilton said: "I'm very, very happy with getting the lap. Nico has been very strong all weekend so it has been one step at a time trying to bring the pace together."
He emphasised it was "three out of three" for him in terms of pole positions - because he had not been able to compete in final qualifying in the Chinese and Russian Grands Prix as a result of technical problems.
For a long time, it appeared as though Verstappen would be the star of qualifying, the teenager consistently edging Ricciardo by 0.2secs throughout qualifying.
But the Australian saved the best for last, producing a stellar final lap to comfortably beat his team-mate, whooping with delight over the team radio as he finished it.
Ricciardo said: "Max was doing really well - and we're both on the second run, which is really awesome. It took a bit of time to come. I knew I had the pace but I had not got it altogether, but I did what I had to do."
Verstappen said he had not expected to be so competitive and said he was not disappointed to be pipped by Ricciardo.
"I was very pleased," he said. "I think we both pushed each other, which is good for the team."
He said that, despite being ahead for much of qualifying, he "did not think" about the possibility of beating Ricciardo, adding: "I was just enjoying it. I was just happy with the progress I was making. It was clearly not the limit, but to be honest I still don't know where the limit is."
Team boss Christian Horner praised Verstappen's performance, saying it justified the decision to promote him and drop Daniil Kvyat to the Toro Rosso team.
The Russian managed only 13th place, with team-mate Carlos Sainz eighth, behind Williams' Valtteri Bottas and ahead of Force India's Sergio Perez and Fernando Alonso, who put a McLaren-Honda in the top 10 for the first time since their new relationship started in 2015.
There will be an inquest at Ferrari, whose president Sergio Marchionne said before the race the team need to start winning.
Instead, they were further away than they have been for some time - Raikkonen was 1.113secs off the pace and Vettel even further off.
Vettel said: "We have proved in all sessions that we were quite competitive and currently we don't understand," he said. "Something made us fall out of the window. We lost quite a lot of competitiveness.
"The lap was a bit messy but for a reason - the car didn't feel as good as this morning and we need to understand why. We lost performance."
Ferrari said their tyres fell out of the correct operating-temperature window but they did not understand why.
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is one that provides arguably the toughest test of a car's all-round capabilities, especially aerodynamics, and the results suggest the Italian team are as far away as ever from being able to match the teams with the best chassis.
Alonso had the edge on team-mate Jenson Button all weekend, and he revelled in the McLaren's cornering prowess on this track, where engine performance is not as crucial as on the first four of the season.
It demonstrates the performance improvements made by both McLaren and Honda this season - and justified their confidence that both cars can be in the top 10 at the next race in Monaco.
Button said: "I had a floaty rear all weekend, which is not a nice thing and I had to adapt to it. I'm not used to it.
"It got it all right in the end but Fernando has been very quick all weekend and did a top job to get into Q3."

Spanish Grand Prix coverage details
Sally Yates, who was appointed by Barack Obama, ordered justice department lawyers not to enforce the president's executive order.
A White House statement accused Ms Yates of "betraying" the justice department and being "weak on borders".
Mr Trump replaced her with Dana Boente, US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Mr Boente said he was "honoured to serve President Trump" and immediately directed his department to enforce the controversial order.
Mr Trump also replaced the acting director of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Daniel Ragsdale, who has been in the post since 20 January. He is the former deputy director.
No reason was given for Mr Ragsdale's sacking. He has been replaced by Thomas Homan, the executive associate director of enforcement and removal.
Mr Trump's order temporarily banned nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US, and sparked street protests in the US and abroad.
Ms Yates, a career prosecutor who served as deputy attorney general under Barack Obama, said in a letter that she was "not convinced" that the president's order was lawful.
"As long as I am the acting attorney general, the department of justice will not present arguments in defence of the Executive Order," she said.
Within hours, the White House announced: "President Trump relieved Ms Yates of her duties."
A statement claimed she had "betrayed the department of justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States".
It also described her as "weak on borders and very weak on illegal immigration".
Democrats hits back at Ms Yates' dismissal. Senator Chuck Schumer, the party leader, said in a statement that the "attorney general should be loyal and pledge fidelity to the law, not the White House. The fact that this administration doesn't understand that is chilling".
Donald Trump's critics are calling it the "Monday Night Massacre". That's a reference to President Richard Nixon's Saturday night sacking of his attorney general during the depths of the Watergate scandal of 1973, the last time top justice department officials were forced out by a president.
This time around is a bit different, however. Acting Attorney General Sally Yates essentially forced Mr Trump's hand when she ordered justice department lawyers not to defend the president's recent immigration order in court.
Mr Trump could not abide such defiance from an Obama Administration holdover due for replacement soon anyway. Once again, however, his White House team could not help but turn the rhetorical volume up to 11 in announcing the firing, accusing Ms Yates of having "betrayed" the justice department.
Ms Yates's move follows on the heels of a similarly extraordinary reaction to a letter, signed by more than 100 career state department officials, condemning the immigration action as un-American.
It's easy to imagine that this administration - just over a week in power - feels set against a Washington bureaucracy seeking to undermine it at every turn. If that kind of bunker mentality grows in the days ahead, this political bloodletting likely will be only the beginning.
Is Trump's immigration order legal?
Her replacement, Mr Boente, was also appointed by Barack Obama, in 2015. He was confirmed by the US Senate - making him eligible for appointment while Mr Trump waits for his own nominee to be approved.
Senator Jeff Sessions is awaiting Senate approval.
Ms Yates was questioned by Mr Sessions in 2015 at her confirmation hearing for the post of deputy attorney general. He pressed her on whether the attorney general and deputy attorney general should say no to the president if the president asked for something "unlawful".
"I believe the attorney general or deputy attorney general has an obligation to follow the law and the constitution," she said.
Meanwhile, hundreds of diplomats and foreign servants have been drafting a "dissent cable" to formally criticise the president's executive order.
A draft version of the cable said that immigration restrictions will not make the US safer, are un-American and will send the wrong message to the Muslim world.
The ban bars citizens from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
The White House has consistently defended Mr Trump's executive order despite the controversy, with press secretary Sean Spicer saying diplomats should "get with the programme".
In addition, former President Barack Obama has apparently broken with the convention of former presidents avoiding comment on their successors.
Commenting on the protests about the immigration order, President Obama said he was "heartened".
"Citizens exercising their constitutional right to assemble, organise and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake," he said in a statement, which did not mention Mr Trump by name.
Best won his 100th cap in a fiercely contested Dublin encounter as Ireland overcame the loss of a number of key players to emerge victorious.
"It's a win we are very, very proud of," said the Ireland captain.
"The manner in which we won against a very good Australian team - it shows the character we have in our squad."
Ireland led 17-0, but then lost Rob Kearney, Andrew Trimble and Jared Payne to injury before being pegged back and eventually overtaken by the resurgent Wallabies.
Joe Schmidt's side - already without Johnny Sexton, Robbie Henshaw and Sean O'Brien - were not derailed by their lengthening injury list.
Instead, they became the first European team since 2003 to beat all three leading southern hemisphere teams in one calendar year.
"To have a number of changes to the team and then having to make positional changes during the game makes it a win we are very, very happy with," Best said.
"You have to give credit to the Aussies, especially at the start of the second half. There just seemed to be wave after wave of gold and it took a lot of character to dig in.
"It's amazing. We get unbelievable support here and the Irish rugby fans are very, very special to me."
The Ulster hooker led his country out for the 11th time at the Aviva Stadium, receiving a standing ovation both then and again when he was replaced by Sean Cronin minutes before the final whistle.
He joins Brian O'Driscoll, Ronan O'Gara, Paul O'Connell and John Hayes in reaching the 100-cap milestone for Ireland.
"It's been a very emotionally touching time for me for me," he said. "To walk out there with my two eldest kids, to be able to savour that moment and look around, the ovation that I got, it's a very special moment for me, for my family and for Banbridge Rugby Club."
The Ireland captain is pleased with the progress his team has made in a year which began with an indifferent Six Nations campaign, but followed up with a first Test win in South Africa - although the series was lost 2-1 - and three victories from four November matches, including a first over New Zealand.
"We are building - we are reasonably happy with where we are, but we will keep building," said Best.
"England are setting a phenomenal pace at the minute and it's up to the rest of the Six Nations to catch up with them.
"We have a lot of young guys who have showed lots of guts and determination. There is a lot of fine tuning to do but that is for another day.
"There is lots of pride for me in the guys who came on. Kieran Marmion came on and played 40 minutes on the wing, while Joey Carbery slotted in very well at full-back."
L/Cpl Scott Hetherington, 22, from Middleton, Greater Manchester, died at Camp Taji, north of Baghdad, on 2 January.
He served as a vehicle commander with the 2nd Battalion, Duke of Lancaster's Regiment.
L/Cpl Hetherington is the first UK soldier to die in Iraq in almost eight years.
The 22-year-old, who was nicknamed "Snowball", had only been in Iraq for a month when he died and had only recently become a father to a daughter.
Friends hailed him as a "true hero" and a "brave lion" on Facebook.
The soldier's commanding officer Lt Col Rob Singleton said: "L/Cpl Scott Hetherington was a superb soldier and a first-class leader."
"Utterly professional and talented, he was full of character, fun and his enthusiasm was infectious."
L/Cpl Hetherington was a member of Blenheim Company and was a vehicle commander in the Force Protection Platoon. His regiment was based at Weeton Barracks near Blackpool.
The British Army is in Iraq as part of the UK's effort to combat so-called Islamic State militants.
About 150 soldiers from the battalion are being deployed to Iraq for six months.
They form part of a 500-strong Army force being sent to train Iraqi and Kurdish security forces.

He explained how he made the show's main character Berk in a BBC documentary in 1989.
One or two clutch mobile phones, hoping to hear a voice from home or news of the future.
But mostly these boys from The Gambia, Senegal and Ivory Coast - part of an alarming wave of unaccompanied minors reaching the southern shores of Europe - feel trapped.
Aged 16 and 17, they are prevented by Italian law from simply moving on and finding their own way. But without documents, nor can they simply go home. The process of getting them is long and laborious.
To them, the small town of Caltagirone, about 70km from Catania, feels like a kind of prison.
They are frustrated, angry, confused - and lonely.
Ismael, a soft-spoken teenager from The Gambia, arrived in Sicily on Christmas Eve last year. Surrounded by boys who have had to grow up fast, he seems more vulnerable than most.
"I want to talk to my mum," he tells me.
"Every day I think about that. If I'm sleeping, I dream about that. Two years to miss your mum is painful."
Ismael's story, like all the stories here at "La vita è Adesso" (Life Now), is complicated.
Embarrassed, or worried that to reveal too much could be a mistake, the boys do not immediately open up. But when they do, they describe a complex array of political, social and family problems that propelled them to take desperate decisions.
Ismael paints only a sketchy picture of a mother embroiled in a land dispute with threatening neighbours. Fearing violence, they fled to nearby Senegal, but Ismael felt he had to move on.
"I said to mum 'Let me go to Libya and work there. Maybe if I have something, I can come back.'"
But that was two years ago. Mother and son have not spoken since.
"I don't even have her number. I don't know whether she is alive or… I worry about her."
In Libya, Ismael joined the ranks of those from West and sub-Saharan Africa still seeking work, amid the chaos and violence of a failed state.
Asked what kind of work he was doing, 16-year old Ismael's reply is matter-of-fact.
"Any kind of hard labour. Sometimes you work and they don't even pay you."
For all his apparent nonchalance, Libya was clearly a traumatic experience for everyone. Most of them spent months there, saving up money to send home or pay for their uncertain passage to Europe.
The work was hard, they were exploited by unscrupulous employers and preyed upon by thieves.
But astonishingly, some of them wish they were still there, rather than sitting in the tranquil surroundings of Caltagirone, where birds sing in the pine trees and no-one is coming to kill or rob them.
"I thought if I came here, things would be alright," says Mohammed, another teenager from Gambia.
"But this is the worst place. The time I was in Libya, I used to send money to my mother."
When he left home, Mohammed struggled to find anywhere else to live or work. He moved to Senegal.
"So I started the journey. Senegal to Mali. Mali to Burkina Faso. Burkina Faso to Niger. Niger to Libya. Then here."
The journeys were epic, but sometimes the circumstances which forced them to leave home in the first place were even more traumatic.
Mohammed says he was abducted by rebels from the southern Casamance region of Senegal when he was just 13.
For a year and a half, he was forced to work on a marijuana plantation, but he managed to escape on a lumber truck bound for The Gambia.
If he had not, he says, he would have been turned into a child soldier.
"If I stayed, I would have become a murderer," he says.
Four years later, he is tall and rangy and exudes a world-weariness that marks him out, even by the standards of this place.
"I'm still a boy," he insists.
Even if he had documents, he could not go home. He shows me a scar on his shoulder where the rebels cut him, marking him for life.
"If they see that, they'll kill me."
Using the internet, he has somehow managed to track down a possible relative in England. After four years with no information, he wants to find out what happened to his family.
"I feel like an orphan sometimes. My brain tells me they're alive but sometimes I say no, they're dead."
To call the boys at Vita e Adesso "economic migrants" hardly seems adequate. But for all their complex stories, their biggest frustration is that they lack the wherewithal to retake control of their lives.
"If I have money, I can decide what I will do with my life," says Ismael.
"And find my mum, too."
Free movement originally meant "freedom to move to a job," not to look for work or claim benefits, she wrote in the Sunday Times.
"We must take some big decisions, face down powerful interests and reinstate the original principle", she added.
Mrs May also said this summer's migrant crisis had been "exacerbated by the European system of no borders".
Her comments come days after official statistics showed net migration to the UK is at an all-time high, reaching 330,000 in the year to March.
The figure - the difference between the number entering the country and those leaving - is more than three times higher than the government's target.
Mrs May said the figure was "far too high" and "simply unsustainable".
The "biggest single factor" stopping the government achieving its aim of reducing net migration to the tens of thousands was net migration from the EU, she argued.
Mrs May also argued the EU's open border policy had made the migrant crisis worse.
More than 300,000 migrants have risked their lives trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe so far this year, according to the UN.
Mrs May wrote: "The most tragic consequences of a broken European migration system have been borne by those at risk of exploitation.
"And the greatest beneficiaries have been the callous gangs who sell false dreams...
"As countries in Europe are increasingly realising, these tragedies have been exacerbated by the European system of no borders, the Schengen area, in which the UK has never taken part."
She said the crisis was a "wake-up call for the EU".
"Its leaders must consider the consequences of uncontrolled migration - on wages, jobs and social cohesion of the destination nations; on the economies and societies of the rest; and on the lives and welfare of those who seek to come here," she said.
Mrs May also said "rigorous control" of the UK's student migration system had helped reduce the number of further education visa applications, while the number studying at top universities had gone up.
But she said last week's figures "clearly show that too many students are not here temporarily".
She said the government must "break the link between short-term study and permanent settlement" in the UK.
A total of 186 extra staff have been found.
However, NHS Grampian's board has heard that 400 posts still need to be filled.
The search is continuing across the UK and abroad, but the high cost of housing is seen as a barrier to attracting staff to the area.
Dr Annie Ingram, director of workforce at NHS Grampian, said: "We've made huge progress over the last year but, like other public sector organisations in Grampian, we face challenges in recruiting."
The Shrimpers went in front midway through the first half with Stephen McLaughlin on target but Gillingham hit back to secure all three points at Roots Hall.
Southend, who had manager Phil Brown in the stands serving a touchline ban, started well with David Mooney threatening from 12 yards before they broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute when McLaughlin's long-range shot squirmed under the body of Gillingham goalkeeper Stuart Nelson.
The visiting number one soon made amends by denying Mooney from six yards before Gillingham hit back in the 38th minute with Jay Emmanuel-Thomas firing home Paul Konchesky's left-wing corner.
Gillingham took the lead two minutes into the second half when Max Ehmer headed home a long right-wing throw from Ryan Jackson.
Southend rarely looked like grabbing an equaliser and the visitors completed the scoring in the 79th minute when Emmanuel Osadebe sent a controlled right-footed shot into the bottom left corner of the net.

Explorers and freedom fighters alike, all shared the vision to integrate African economies.
The pact brings together the Southern African Development Community (Sadc); the East African Community (EAC) and the Common Market for East and Southern Africa (Comesa).
By merging these three regional organisations, the deal will establish a new labour and consumer market of 625 million people, who live across 26 countries, making it easier to move goods and conduct business.
On paper, this type of arrangement looks like a progressive step for a continent that has recently seen growth rates of 5% and foreign investment flowing in.
However before leaders pop the champagne corks at this weekend's African Union summit, there are a few caveats to consider.
First, the parliaments of all 26 countries need to endorse the treaty. Approval in 14 states will provide a simple majority that will give the deal legitimacy needed to proceed.
All of that could take time.
As will further negotiations - recent talks only focused on the broad vision of trade.
The nuts and bolts still need to be fine-tuned - like how to remove hurdles around trade and determine so called "non-tariff barriers".
This entails finding compromises in areas such as regulating which goods and services to trade freely, licensing businesses, finding common pricing systems and simplifying immigration laws.
Once individual governments start reading the fine print, the mood may change.
Many of them have small economies that produce few exportable goods A free-trade protocol would mean they would have to compete with larger industries that could threaten their economies and jobs.
Trade experts argue liberalising service agreements within a trade pact would work best.
For example, in Sadc, where there is high-end manufacturing of cars, it might mean South Africa producing the body and engine with the leather upholstery coming from Botswana or Zimbabwe, which have large cattle ranches, and perhaps Rwanda making the plastic light shields.
That would stimulate manufacturing elsewhere with more value-added products to sell within a free-trade zone, as well as theoretically reducing prices.
Regional trade integration is not a new idea in Africa - in fact the Southern African Customs Union was formed in 1910, decades before Europe even began talking about the European Union.
Over time nations across east, west, central and southern Africa have established regional bodies. According to the UN, there are now 14 regional blocs and it is said that each country belongs to at least one, sometimes even three organisations.
There is often a duplication of roles that has led to competition for funding especially in key areas like infrastructure.
And the irony is that despite so many regional bodies, trade has not benefitted. The UN says only 12% of Africa's total trade actually happens within the continent.
Most of that is in mineral and oil exports from countries along the coast.
The African Development Bank (ADB) has often said that the focus should be on infrastructure.
Without roads, railways and ports intra-African trade is difficult and expensive - with or without trade barriers.
During previous AU summits, African leaders pledged $100bn annually towards the funding of infrastructure projects.
The ADB says an additional $40bn each year would make a difference.
However, so far there is a funding shortfall and those pledges seem to be just that.
So there needs to be a greater commitment towards infrastructure financing to support trade in Africa.
Nevertheless if it is implemented in a reasonable time-frame and there is sufficient political will to follow through, then the Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA) marks a new beginning for local trade.
But should governments become protective, restrict the movement of labour and hold back on financing big construction projects then it will be less of a watershed.
Ordinary Africans are most probably not holding their breath.
Trent Mays, 16, and Ma'lik Richmond, 17, attacked the girl after a drunken party in the town of Steubenville. Both wept as the verdict was read out.
The case came to light via text messages, online videos and social media posts made the morning after, attracting nationwide attention.
The two were sentenced to at least a year in juvenile detention.
Mays was sentenced to another year for taking pictures of the naked victim, and the judge said both might stay in detention until they reach 21.
The case was thrust into the national spotlight after attention by bloggers and the hacker activist group Anonymous.
Some claimed that the community - including local police - had sought to cover up the crime to protect the accused, who were members of a celebrated high school American football team.
The case focused attention on teenage alcohol abuse and highlighted the increasing use of social media as evidence in court, the BBC's Matt Wells in Washington says.
Last August, Trent Mays and Ma'lik Richmond left a party with a 16-year-old girl and sexually abused her, first in a car and then at a friend's house.
The victim was so drunk she had no memory of the attack, but prosecutors said she had been "treated like a toy".
There was no physical evidence, but details of the evening emerged from text messages, tweets and humiliating photos posted on the internet by the attackers and other party-goers.
The case caused a bitter divide in Steubenville, a small and economically depressed former steel town that had immense pride in its high school football team, known as the "Big Red".
Some of the witnesses were friends of the accused who gave evidence against them in return for immunity from prosecution.

The Norwich player's neck was put in a brace and he was given oxygen as he was carried off on a stretcher late on.
Brady spent Thursday night in a Dublin hospital and the Football Association of Ireland said his concussion had led to him being released from the squad.
Manager Martin O'Neill said that Brady was "out cold" after a clash of heads.
"He was concussed," added the Republic manager.
"He's come back around and the doctors are quite pleased with him."
Brady's absence from O'Neill's much-depleted squad comes after midfielder Jeff Hendrick's booking in Thursday's fortunate 1-0 win resulted in his suspension for Sunday's game.
Daryl Murphy, who scored the Republic's late equaliser in last month's 2-2 draw in Serbia, was among eight players already ruled out of this week's qualifiers with Keiren Westwood, Harry Arter, Stephen Quinn, Kevin Doyle, Aiden McGeady, Anthony Pilkington and Marc Wilson also absent.
But striker Shane Long is expected to be fit for the game in Chisinau despite limping off late in Thursday's game with a leg muscle injury.
Seamus Coleman's first international goal in the 56th minute secured the Republic's win after Georgia had twice hit the woodwork in a dominant first half at the Aviva Stadium.
For much of Saturday, ING's Romanian customers could not access their money.
The bank said the discharge of its gas-based fire suppression system had caused "unexpected" damage to its computer servers.
A report by Motherboard suggests that the equipment was too noisy.
A spokeswoman for ING was unable to confirm this detail.
But she did acknowledge the problem had lasted from 13:00 to 23:00 local time and the bank had been unable to explain the situation to customers as its own communications system had been affected.
"Due to the magnitude and complexity of breakdown, the time required to restore the activity through the back-up system was unfortunately longer than during the tests we perform regularly," said Iosefina Frolu.
"Currently, we are finalising the diagnostic analysis of this exceptional event."
The fire extinguisher system used at the Bucharest site worked by expelling a mix - known as inergen - of nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide.
These gases are normally not harmful to computer equipment.
But, according to Motherboard, the high-pressure release created a sound that topped 130 decibels.
A study last year by the German engineering group Siemens warned the nozzles used by some fire suppression systems could cause "fatal" damage to hard disks because of sound wave vibrations they sent through the air.
"The hypothesis is that sound causes vibrations in the HDD case that are ultimately transmitted to the disk spindle and head assembly, causing misalignment of the read/write heads to the data tracks," it said.
"Because there are many different designs of storage system chassis and cabinets on the market, the issue of vibration caused by noise as well as structure-borne vibration has not yet been fully investigated."
Siemens's research indicated that different server models were vulnerable to different noise frequencies, and if there was a match:
Although ING said the accident was "abnormal and unprecedented" in its experience, there have been other suspected incidents.
In 2013, the French media reported that accountancy software used by the country's government had become temporarily unavailable after a fire protection system had been accidentally triggered at a data centre, causing a loud noise.
The following year, inergen extinguishers were used to put out a fire at a facility in Sydney, Australia.
When several of the disks failed, some experts blamed noise vibrations caused by the discharge.
Free agent Taylor, 32, has agreed a two-year deal at the newly-promoted Premier League side, while 23-year-old Sordell joins on a three-year contract.
The fee has not been disclosed for Sordell, who scored eight goals while on loan for Charlton and has been capped 14 times by England Under-21s.
Sordell previously played under Burnley boss Sean Dyche at Watford.
Taylor, who scored three goals in 90 appearances for West Ham before his contract ended in the summer, is another former Bolton player. He was previously at Portsmouth.
The arrivals are the second and third this week for Burnley after announcing on Wednesday that former Blackpool goalkeeper Matt Gilks had joined them.
Another summer signing, Michael Kightly, had been on loan from Stoke last term and has now made the move permanent.
Parcel deliveries rose 3% thanks to shoppers' insatiable appetite for online shopping, although the number of letters posted fell by 6%.
Royal Mail put the rise in parcels down to upgraded computer systems, which allow the packages to be sorted faster.
Pre-tax profits rose to £335m in the year to 26 March from £267m, while revenues grew 1% to £9.8bn.
The market reacted positively, sending shares up nearly 4% to 446.8p to highs not seen since January.
Chief executive Moya Greene said: "We have made good progress against all of our strategic priorities. This has been a more challenging period for UK businesses and we have come through it well."
Despite the boost in profits, the company was cautious over its prospects in the UK, where it makes three-quarters of total sales.
The fall in letter deliveries was at the higher end of expectations, with the company blaming uncertainty over the Brexit referendum for the decline.
"This [fall] reflected the levels of business uncertainty following the EU Referendum and a strong prior year which saw a one-off return of direct delivery volumes," it said.
The company is also unlikely to cash in heavily from the upcoming general election, as it admitted the short campaign would mean revenues were likely to be below that seen from mailing sent out during last year's EU referendum and 2015's general election.
Royal Mail's letters business in the UK struggled, with letter volumes down 6%, but this was offset to some extent by the company's parcels operations.
Helped by a huge 50% market share for parcel deliveries in the UK, Royal Mail managed to improve its revenues by 3% to £3.3bn.
But the business's most impressive performance came from its overseas division - General Logistics Systems (GLS) - where sales jumped 9% to £2.5bn.
Ms Green said: "GLS is performing very well and is growing revenue organically and through acquisitions.
"Its deep expertise and focus on B2B parcels in multiple geographies - now 41 European countries and seven states in the US - positions it to be a greater force for growth for the company.
"We will continue to invest in careful and focused international expansion by GLS."
Despite the strong performance from its international operation, the company described its Italian and French businesses as "challenging" and said it had lost out in Germany due to a rise in the minimum wage.
But the City was impressed overall, with the share price rising almost 4% in early trading, sending the stock to a four month high of 446.8p.
When the government listed the business on the stock market in 2013, some people argued that the price offered was too low. The shares were floated at 330p each.
It led to criticism that ministers had underpriced the former state asset.
The company is also facing strikes in the UK over plans to close its defined benefit pension scheme in 2018.
Royal Mail reiterated that, although the pension plan was in surplus, it was unsustainable and contributions would need to increase to more than £1bn by 2018.
Sophia Berni and Brodie Lawson cut the first sods for the £9.7m Broomlands Primary project in Kelso.
Construction work is being carried out by McLaughlin and Harvey and is expected to be completed in 2018.
The school, with a roll of about 250 pupils, will have 12 classrooms, early years centre, new games hall/dining room and upgraded playground.
Councillor Sandy Aitchison said: "The current Broomlands building has served generations of pupils since it opened in 1980.
"After 36 years, it is time for a modern school building to take its place, and I know pupils, parents and staff will be looking forward to moving in once work is completed."
McLaughlin and Harvey is also currently working with Scottish Borders Council on the construction of Langlee Primary School in Galashiels, which is due to open in 2018.
After a first lap of 133.37mph on his Hawk Racing BMW, Dunlop bettered that with 133.39mph on lap two, in a time of 16 minutes 58.25 seconds.
For the Ballymoney rider, it was his 12th success at the event and his third in the Superbike race.
Dunlop, 27, beat Ian Hutchinson by 19 seconds, with John McGuinness in third.
McGuinness was 54 seconds behind Yorkshireman Hutchinson.
"The bike never missed a beat and it's great to be a winner again," said Dunlop, who becomes the fourth most successful solo rider at the annual races.
"After two laps, I just got into a groove and kept it steady. It was all about bringing the bike home.
"This wasn't a big factory set-up with a big budget, it was a bike built in a small workshop, but the guys did a brilliant job."
Dunlop set the pace from the start and had built up a 3.5-second lead over Tyco BMW-mounted Hutchinson by the end of the opening lap - that despite Hutchinson also being inside John McGuinness' year-old course lap record with a speed of 132.89mph.
The Northern Ireland rider continued to extend his advantage and was more than one minute inside the race record when he took the chequered flag.
English trio Peter Hickman, Dean Harrison and Michael Rutter made up the top-six leaderboard, with Australian David Johnson seventh, riding a Norton, and New Zealand's Bruce Anstey eighth.
Leading Manx hope Conor Cummins retired on the opening lap at Ballaugh and William Dunlop parked up with a mechanical problem on lap three.
The computer giant has surprised many people by naming its newest operating system Windows 10.
Have the clever people building Windows forgotten how to count? Unlikely.
After criticism of Windows 8, it seems the company is trying to make a point that the new release is a big one.
"Windows 10 will be our most comprehensive platform ever," Terry Myerson, head of the operating systems group, explained.
"It wouldn't be right to call it Windows 9."
While the multi-tile based interface of Windows 8 worked well enough on phones and tablets, desktop users found it a struggle.
With Windows 10 Microsoft is trying to make a truly tablet, mobile and desktop friendly operating system. So what's new?
The main selling point for Windows 10 seems to be that it will work "seamlessly" across all devices.
New Universal Windows apps will offer "the same experience" on PCs, tablets, phones, and Xbox One. Developers can use the same coding language to create each version.
Microsoft says it wants to be "the first in the industry" to make it easy to build apps across different devices.
The start button is back. And this time, it's personal. The bottom-left icon has been around since Windows 95 but was ditched in Windows 8, only to be replaced in Windows 8.1 after an outcry.
Users will be able to customise the start menu and add live tiles detailing how many emails you have, how warm it is outside or when your next appointment is.
Is it a laptop? Is it a tablet? With so many 2-in-1 devices now promising to provide touch screen fun with a keyboard for typing boring work stuff, Microsoft reckons it's come up with a nifty way of switching between the two. Unplug a mouse or keyboard and Windows will ask if you want to enter tablet mode, resizing apps and stripping back the display accordingly.

It follows a six-month trial in Aberdeen and Ayrshire which saw 22 people warned that their partners had a history of domestic abuse.
Clare's Law was introduced across England and Wales in March 2014.
The initiative is named after Clare Wood, who was murdered by her violent ex-boyfriend several years ago.
The 36-year-old was strangled and set on fire by George Appleton in Salford, Greater Manchester, in 2009. She was unaware of his history of violence against women.
Her father, Michael Brown, has campaigned for people to have the right to ask for information about partners, and for the police and other agencies to have the power to take the initiative and tell someone if there are grounds for concern.
Police Scotland said the aim of the scheme was to prevent domestic abuse by "empowering" men and women with the "right to ask".
In the past, it was difficult for anyone entering a new relationship to find out if their partner had prior convictions for violence or domestic abuse.
Disclosures can also be triggered by friends, relatives, social workers or police officers.
If checks show that someone does have a record of abusive behaviour, the police will consider sharing the information with the people "best placed" to protect potential victims. Requests are made via a form on the Police Scotland website.
The force's figures show that the number of domestic abuse incidents reported in Scotland from 1 April 2014 - 31 March 2015 increased by 1,076 to 59,471 compared to the same period the year before.
The authorities hope that the disclosure scheme could play a part in protecting hundreds of potential victims.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "Domestic abuse is an appalling crime and I am delighted that, as a result of the national rollout of the scheme, people across Scotland who suspect their partner may have a violent past will have the right to ask for information.
"The results of the pilot clearly show that the scheme works well and is a good fit for Scotland's unique justice system. Put simply - it can save lives and sends a clear message that abusers can no longer hide.
"The Scottish government recently announced £20m funding to tackle all forms of violence against women and girls, including domestic abuse, across the country and we are committed to tackling this heinous crime head on. There is absolutely no place for it in Scotland."
Trevor Bayliss' side lead 2-0 as they prepare for the third game of the five-match series at Centurion on Wednesday.
Victory would see the one-day team emulate their Test counterparts, who beat the Proteas 2-1.
"We said this would be our hardest challenge in the last year and it has been, but brilliant performances have led us to where we are," said Topley.
"To follow the Test boys and get two series wins out of two, that would be great for English cricket."
Hampshire's Topley, 21, took four wickets as England went 2-0 up with a five-wicket victory at Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
South Africa batsman Hashim Amla says his side are treating the rest of the series as three finals in a row.
Amla, who resigned from the Test captaincy during the middle of the series to concentrate on his batting, said: "Everything starts on Tuesday.
"We're out to win, get some momentum and then hope to win in Cape Town as well."
James Comey spoke to US politicians as the war of words between the FBI and Apple intensified.
The FBI has asked Apple to unlock the iPhone of Syed Rizwan Farook who killed 14 people in December 2015.
Apple has refused, saying the protection of personal data was "incredibly important".
"This is the hardest question I have seen in government and it's going to require negotiation and conversation," Mr Comey told the House Intelligence Committee.
"I love encryption, I love privacy, and when I hear corporations saying we're going to take you to a world where no one can look at your stuff, part of me thinks that's great," he said.
However, he added, law enforcement saved lives, rescued children and prevented terror attacks using search warrants that gave it access to information on mobile phones.
"We are going to move to a world where that is not possible anymore," he said. "The world will not end but it will be a different world than where we are today and where we were in 2014."
People needed to understand "the costs associated with moving to a world of universal strong encryption", he added.
Mr Comey said it should be left to Congress and others to decide about what counted as reasonable law enforcement access to encrypted data.
He also said if Apple did unlock the phone it was "unlikely to be a trailblazer" for many future cases. The speed with which the technology in smartphones changes meant any defects Apple exploited to get at data would not be present in newer gadgets. Despite this, he added that it would be "instructive" for other courts.
At another hearing Microsoft President Brad Smith said it would be filing an amicus brief to support Apple's position.
Mr Smith told a House Judiciary Committee that Microsoft "wholeheartedly" supported Apple on the issue of resisting calls to unlock the phone.
Earlier this week Microsoft founder Bill Gates said the row should prompt a debate about the access that law enforcement gets to data in terror investigations.
The row between Apple and the FBI over the phone of Farook blew up last week when the bureau asked the electronics firm for help to unlock the smartphone. Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik killed 14 people and wounded 22 others during the attack in San Bernadino.
So far, Apple has refused to unlock the phone. In an interview aired yesterday with US TV network ABC, Apple boss Tim Cook said the FBI was asking it to make "the software equivalent of cancer".
He added: "Some things are hard and some things are right. And some things are both. This is one of those things."
Apple has until 26 February to formally respond to the FBI order.
Rossington reached his fourth first-class ton off 101 balls as Northants declared on 478-5, exactly 300 ahead.
He hit 17 fours and five sixes, and was also involved in an unbroken 199-run partnership with David Murphy (60 not out) before the declaration came.
Openers Chris Nash and Ed Joyce saw Sussex to 70-0 at stumps, 230 behind.
The visitors will aim to complete their first Championship win of the season on Saturday and will hope that the bad weather which caused almost 100 overs to be lost on the first two days will not prove costly.
Murphy was one of five Northants batsmen to pass 50 in their first innings.
Earlier, captain Alex Wakely (46) failed to add to his overnight score but a fourth-wicket stand of 119 between Sean Terry (54) and Rob Keogh (75) forged a lead.
Sylvia, a Japanese Shiba Inu, was discovered in the sea by a dog walker at the western entrance of the Menai Strait near Caernarfon on Saturday.
She had vanished on Newborough beach on the island's west coast a week ago.
Her owner Janice Bannister had spent £750 hiring a helicopter to search the area.
People from all over the UK joined her on Saturday to help look for Sylvia after her story attracted huge support, while a facebook campaign was started to help find her.
"We were all out looking for her when the news came though that she had been found," said Mrs Bannister, of Telford, Shropshire.
"We were all devastated. The coastguards were out searching with us at the time but they went to the point where she was found - a very treacherous place - and they carried her back to me in a blanket.
"She's at home with us now and we're going to bury her."
Mrs Bannister said she had been comforted by the "thousands" of messages she had received on social media and now wants to raise money for the coastguards in the area.
She also hopes to have a memorial bench for Sylvia on Newborough beach, if she is given permission.
"I really want to put something back into the local community because they have been so good and without the coastguards I wouldn't have had any closure.," she added.
"We're determined to make sure she didn't die in vain."
Canada's Competition Bureau penalised the company following a two-year investigation in to its pricing practices.
The bureau is in charge of enforcing many of Canada's consumer laws.
"Consumers are naturally attracted to claims that they will save money," said commissioner John Pecman.
Following the investigation, Amazon agreed to change its pricing practices and pay a fee, which includes a $1m penalty and $100,000 to help cover the cost of the investigation.
"We're pleased that Amazon has put procedures in place to validate list prices received from its suppliers. This ensures that consumers are provided with accurate information and not misled by savings claims," Mr Pecman wrote in a news release.
The investigation found that Amazon routinely advertised consumer savings by comparing its prices to list prices at other retailers. However, it didn't verify these "list prices", which meant that the savings could be exaggerated, the bureau found.
Amazon had already begun to fix its pricing practices before the investigation, according to the bureau.
Amazon says the policies now in place will effect not just the Canadian website, but savings claims made on Amazon.com as well.

Gen Xu Caihou was once a member of China's elite decision-making body, the Politburo. He will now be handed over to prosecutors for a court martial.
He is believed to have been held under house arrest for several months.
Analysts say this could be the biggest military scandal China has seen for many years.
Xinhua reported that President Xi Jinping had presided over a Politburo meeting about military discipline and approved the decision to expel Gen Xu and hand him over to military prosecutors.
Rumours about the investigation into Gen Xu had circulated for months. Many believed poor health - he is reported to have been treated for cancer - would save him from prosecution.
But this move is being presented in state media as part of the government's battle against corruption.
Two other high profile figures were also expelled from the Communist Party for corruption on Monday - Jiang Jiemin, the former head of the state asset regulator, and Wang Yongchun, the deputy head of the state energy giant China National Petroleum Company (CNPC).
The spate of expulsions comes at a time when speculation is rife about the fate of one of China's most powerful politicians, former Politburo Standing Committee member Zhou Yongkang, who is allegedly being investigated over allegations of corruption and abuse of power.
Tens of thousands of officials have been arrested since President Xi began an anti-corruption campaign in 2012.
The president has warned that the Communist Party's very survival is threatened by corruption and has vowed to root out every corrupt official, whether "tigers" or "flies".
Throughout his career, Xu Caihou rose steadily through the ranks of the military and the Communist Party.
He joined the army in 1963, and the party in 1971. A year after that he became the secretary and deputy chief of the political department of the military command in the north-eastern province of Jilin.
He spent most of his career in Jilin and the neighbouring province of Liaoning, where he was born, before taking up senior roles in the army's main political department in the 1990s. | One of China's most senior military officials has been accused of accepting bribes and expelled from the Communist Party, state media report. | 28,084,886 | 478 | 31 | false |

The National Picture Theatre on Beverley Road was hit during a raid on the nearby docks in March 1941 and has since remained derelict.
A repair notice was issued to owner Hakim Saleem in December 2013.
Hull City Council said it was issuing the CPO to "kick-start regeneration works" on Beverley Road.
Campaigners want to restore the Grade II listed building in memory of the civilians killed in the Blitz.
Council leader Stephen Brady said: "The planning committee took the necessary action in order to improve the listed building and in turn the surrounding area.
"We don't want to hold back the revival of this key route into the city and the council will only use its CPO powers as a last resort.
"But it remains our preference to try and reach an earlier agreement with the affected parties wherever possible."
A spokesperson for the local authority said it had not set a date for when the CPO would be issued.
The council agreed in principle to buy the former cinema after the building failed to sell at auction last May.
The National Civilian World War Two Memorial Trust has fought a long-running campaign to redevelop the site.
Trust chair Alan Canvess said: "We're very pleased that things look as though they're moving forward."
More than 150 people were in the cinema on the night it was bombed, but no-one was killed or seriously injured.
Brown, who guided Scotland to the Euro 96 finals and the World Cup in France two years later, believes the Scots can progress from Group D.
"I still feel we have a chance," he told BBC Radio Scotland's Off The Ball.
"I agree with Gordon that we didn't do enough to win the game [against Georgia] but we shouldn't have lost."
The loss in Tbilisi, coupled with Republic of Ireland's victory in Gibraltar, saw Scotland slip to fourth in the group.
With world champions Germany visiting Hampden on Monday, Gordon Strachan's side will be aiming to breathe new life into their qualification campaign.
After facing the Germans, Scotland also have a home game against Poland on 8 October, before finishing the group away to Gibraltar.
"Forty-eight hours ago I was coming onto this programme [Off The Ball] to eulogise to say how well Scotland were doing and how brilliant Gordon is," said Brown.
"I still feel he is and I still feel we have a chance.
"Being Scotland, having lost to what you might call a minnow team, we'll beat the world champions on Monday, then we'll beat Poland at home.
"The way we played against Germany and Poland [earlier in the Group D campaign] I don't think we need to be too pessimistic at all.
"There's great pessimism now and you know what it's like with the press: you're polarised and either brilliant or hopeless.
"This morning, I'm reading that we're 'hopeless' and 'abject failure' - things like that.
"But it wasn't as bad as they're making out. There wasn't a shot on goal, I admit that, but it's very difficult when they pull everybody back as they did."
Brown said he would not offer excuses for Scotland's display in Tbilisi, adding: "It wasn't a good performance.
"But I think they're rated 49th out of the 54 countries in Europe; so it's not a good result.
"I agree with Gordon that we didn't do enough to win the game but we shouldn't have lost. It was a perfect summing up of the situation.
"I know teams, when they come to Hampden, they worry about Scotland. Germany are the world champions and have very accomplished players.
"They won't be worried but they'll realise that they're in a game and I hope we prove that on Monday and against Poland as well."
Stoke took the lead through Joe Allen when he poked home after West Brom's Jonny Evans nodded the ball down.
But Rondon headed a corner beyond keeper Lee Grant to thwart Stoke, who still move off the foot of the table.
In Tony Pulis' 1,000th game as a manager, his West Brom side created few chances before Rondon rescued them.
Erik Pieters had a penalty claim denied for Stoke in the second half, while Grant saved superbly from a header from the Baggies' James McClean.
Substitute Peter Crouch had gone close for the hosts before Allen's goal, but the dramatic finish means more frustration for boss Mark Hughes, whose side were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Hull in injury time on Wednesday.
Having just one point before kick-off and languishing at the foot of the table, it was hardly surprising Stoke looked tentative to begin with.
West Brom are a side who appear content to sit back away from home, and a lack of concerted threat from Stoke in the final third of the pitch added to the hosts' worries.
But Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri, Stoke's main creative forces, gradually asserted themselves as the game wore on.
The replacement of the mostly ineffective Wilfried Bony by Crouch went down well with the home fans, and brought greater urgency from Stoke, culminating in Allen's prodded finish from the six-yard line.
The Potters were much improved on their display in last week's 4-1 defeat at Crystal Palace, making Rondon's dramatic leveller from substitute Jonathan Leko's corner all the more galling.
West Brom's display in their manager's landmark game bore many of the hallmarks the Welshman, 58, has instilled in his sides in 24 years of management.
Defensive discipline, tenacity and the willingness to take what few chances fall their way are all traits of Pulis teams, and resulted here in what will be a satisfying point.
Crouch's arrival threatened to shake Evans' solid partnership with Gareth McAuley, but the way West Brom responded to that and Allen's goal will have delighted their boss.
Illness meant he did not have Saido Berahino to throw on from the bench, so Rondon's third goal of the season means Pulis can look forward to game 1,001 from a solid, mid-table position.
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "We feel deflated but it was a good performance from us.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We're trying to be progressive and we fully deserved the three points. We got one and we have to take it.
"I was encouraged by the performance and we asked questions of them. It's another point on the board. We didn't do too much wrong. I can't complain about our play, they put everything into it.
"Points are like gold dust, so we've got something for our efforts."
West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "That was a deserved point. We conceded a scrappy goal but the reaction of the players was absolutely first class. In the last 20 minutes we really pressed and we got the point we deserved.

"I'm pleased because if we had lost I'd have been disappointed. We haven't got the array of talent like they have but the work-rate they put in was fantastic.
"We've got a fit group who never give up. We had to respond from going a goal down. I was so pleased with the attitude."
West Brom play the bottom-of-the-table side for the second week in a row when they visit Sunderland on Saturday, 1 October at 15:00 BST. And Hughes will be the manager revisiting old haunts when Stoke play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, 2 October at 12:00 BST.

Dutchman Immers has scored 31 goals in 100 league appearances since joining Feyenoord from Den Haag in 2012.
But the 29-year-old has been restricted to just two league starts this season.
Although Cardiff are under a Football League transfer embargo, they are able to sign players on loan during the January window.
"I'm very excited to be coming from one of the biggest teams in the Netherlands to the biggest team in Wales," said Immers.
"It's always been an ambition of mine to play in the UK and I'm looking forward to getting the opportunity to do that, here at Cardiff City.
"Back in the Netherlands, supporters like the fact that I work hard, go from box to box, press and keep running. That's what I'm going to bring to Cardiff City."
Immers, who will wear the number 27 shirt, will be at Cardiff City Stadium until 30 June 2016.
Cardiff chief executive Ken Choo has told BBC Wales Sport the Bluebirds are looking to make three loan signings in January.

The figures, released under the Freedom of Information Act, show cases rose from 4,544 in 2010-11 to 6,129 in 2014-15 despite police workforces shrinking.
There was also a steady increase in overall long-term sick leave.
The government said policing was "stressful" and forces must help staff.
The BBC's 5 live Daily programme contacted 46 police forces across the UK, and 40 provided information.
Data showed the number of police employees on long-term sick leave - defined by forces as either 28 or 29 days or more - rose from 19,825 in 2010-11 to 22,547 in 2014-15.
West Yorkshire Police recorded the largest rise in long-term sick leave over a year - up 44% between 2013-14 and 2014-15 - from 521 days to 748.
Warwickshire Police showed the biggest decrease of 17% over the same time period.
The total number of police officers in England and Wales fell by almost 17,000 from 2010 to 2015, while the number of other staff fell by more than 20,000.
Che Donald, of the Police Federation, which represents officers up to the rank of chief inspector, said there had been "unprecedented cuts to police officer numbers" while demand on forces had not decreased.
He said increased sickness - including for psychological reasons - was not surprising as officers often worked in "highly stressful fast-moving environments" and were exposed to "horrific situations".
"This, coupled with a reduction in resources and manpower, can lead to the perfect storm," he said.
Policing minister Mike Penning said: "Policing, by its very nature, is a stressful and demanding job and it is the responsibility of chief officers - with help from the College of Policing - to ensure that police officers and staff are supported in their work."
He said the government allocated £10m in 2014 to help emergency services staff through "mental health, physical recuperation and bereavement support".
Police Scotland could not provide information for the full five years requested by the BBC so the figures do not include Scotland - but last year data suggested more than 53,000 working days had been lost in the force over two years due to stress.
Joe Schmidt's men are second in the table, three points behind unbeaten England, having beaten Italy and France after an opening defeat in Edinburgh.
Fourth-placed Wales are out of title contention after back-to-back defeats by England and Scotland.
Both sides have named unchanged starting XVs for the game in Cardiff.
Ireland can set up a title decider with England in Dublin on 18 March with victory in Cardiff.
Leaders and defending Grand Slam champions England host Scotland in the Calcutta Cup in Saturday's second game (kick-off 16:00 GMT), while Italy and France meet earlier in the day (13:00 start).
Ireland coach Schmidt is known to value continuity and the tournament's leading try scorers - they have 13, four more than the second most prolific team, England - have used just 19 players in their starting line-up so far.
The previous time he was able to field the same side in the Six Nations was the third round in 2014.
The only change in the match-day 23 is winger Tommy Bowe's recall for his injured Ulster team-mate Andrew Trimble.
Schmidt has stuck with exciting young centre Garry Ringrose, as there were doubts over the fitness of the more experienced Jared Payne.

Wales coach Rob Howley's selection of an unchanged match-day 23 was more of a surprise, with Wales in danger of losing three matches for the first time since the 2010 tournament.
It has fuelled claims of a conservative attitude in the Wales camp from pundits and on social media.
Number eight Taulupe Faletau and lock Luke Charteris remain on the bench and Dan Biggar retains the number 10 shirt despite pressure from his Ospreys team-mate Sam Davies.
Wing George North, singled out and criticised by defence coach Shaun Edwards over his defensive display against Scotland, is also retained in a team given a chance to atone for the second-half capitulation at Murrayfield last time out.

Confidence is high in the Irish camp following their workmanlike 19-9 victory over France, but Schmidt believes the Welsh team's disappointing results will have them highly determined.
"They are so used to competing on the last day of the championship to win or lose the championship," said the Ireland coach.
"So for them not to be in that position will certainly provide extra motivation."
Wales forwards coach Robin McBryde believes there will be more pressure on Ireland under the closed roof in Cardiff.
"They've had a great season, beaten the All Blacks in Chicago and pushed them at home as well," he said.
"They've got aspirations for the title - they've got a big finish against England next week.
"We have to be be at our best in whatever they throw at us.
"If we can match that and build on our experience against England we won't be far off."

Trevor Timon hit Oliver Dearlove while he and his friends were talking to a group of women in Blackheath, south-east London, in August 2016.
Mr Timon told the Old Bailey he was not trying to achieve anything by punching Mr Dearlove but had simply felt annoyed.
The 31-year-old, from Plumstead, admits manslaughter but denies murder.
Mr Dearlove, 30, who lived with his girlfriend Claire Wheatley in New Eltham, died within 24 hours of being attacked.
Giving evidence, Mr Timon said he had met a close female friend and three other women in Morden's nightclub for a birthday celebration.
He said he bought a bottle of champagne, of which he drank two glasses, and was "happy", not drunk, when he left the club with the women to go home.
He told the jury he walked up to one of the women "to tell her to hurry up" and then got into an argument with Mr Dearlove and his friends.
"One of them said 'she's with the half-chap'. They were laughing at me really, that's the way I took it," he said.
He said he then told one man "If you don't get out of my face I will knock you out" but meant it as "figure of speech".
Mr Timon told the court the victim did not make any comment about him but appeared "ready to fight".
When asked who was the first person to do anything physical, he said he was and that Mr Dearlove "just fell".
He said he was "shocked" to later hear the banker was taken to hospital, and went straight to a police station a couple of days later after returning from a trip to Ireland.
The case continues.
The drugs had been hidden on a banana plantation near the north-western coastal town of Turbo.
President Juan Manuel Santos congratulated officers on Twitter, saying: "Operation in Turbo seized the greatest amount in our history."
Police say the drugs belonged to Clan Usuga, a criminal gang.
Three suspects were arrested and another three escaped, a statement read.
Nearly 1.5 tonnes of the drugs had been wrapped "and ready to go out to the export market", Defence Minister Luis Carlos Villegas said.
It was the largest seizure of cocaine on Colombian territory although there may have been slightly larger cocaine seizures at sea, he added.
Clan Usuga is mainly engaged in drug trafficking but has also been accused of extortion, illegal mining, forced disappearances and murder, correspondents say.
Colombian police estimate the gang has about 2,000 active members.
Over the past five years, the security forces have captured 6,700 members of the group.
Earlier this month, the Colombian government said it would launch air raids against gangs involved in drug trafficking and illegal mining.
The new strategy specifically targets three gangs - Clan Usuga, Los Pelusos and Los Puntilleros.
In December, a security company told eBay it had found a flaw in its active content, which allows store owners to offer users pop-ups and other content.
But, Check Point said, on 16 January eBay had replied it "had no plans to fix the vulnerability".
Now, eBay has told the BBC it has "implemented various security filters based on" Check Point's findings.
"While not fully patched, given that we allow active content on our marketplace, it's important to understand that malicious content on our marketplace is extraordinarily uncommon, which we estimate to be less than two listings per million that use active content on the eBay marketplace," it said.
EBay added it took security "very seriously" but "we have not found any fraudulent activity stemming from this incident."
The vulnerability meant any attacker could set up a store and insert the malicious code.
Check Point research manager Oded Vanunu said: "This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass eBay's code validation and control the vulnerable code remotely to execute malicious Java script on targeted eBay users.
"If this flaw is left unpatched, eBay's customers will continue to be exposed to potential phishing attacks and data theft."
Large corporations are increasingly being warned about vulnerabilities on their websites.
Last week, the BBC reported a bug spotted by security researcher Paul Moore in the Asda website had remained live for two years.
Following the report, the retailer acted to fix the issue.
"Sadly many firms turn a blind eye to security problems on their websites until the media get a whiff that something bad is going on," said security expert Graham Cluley.
"I don't think it is necessarily the case that websites are more bug-ridden than ever before, but rather that more and more vulnerability researchers are hunting for flaws on popular websites, and knowledge regarding bad practices and sloppy security is growing in the tech community," he added.
Two adults got into difficulty in the water after they went to help the boys when their inflatable boat got caught in a rip tide at Mewslade Bay on Sunday.
The Horton and Port Eynon lifeboat was launched and a boat from Gower Coast Adventures went to help.
The boys were pulled from the sea, while the adults swam to rocks onshore.
They sustained minor cuts but the children were uninjured.
Jeff Payne, of Horton and Port Eynon lifeboat station said: "I do not want to think of the possible consequences had a boat not been on hand to rescue the boys."
He warned people using inflatable boats to check local conditions, in particular rip tides and offshore winds, and advised adults to keep boats on a line when children are using them.
Every afternoon, the grandmothers of Phangane village wrap pink saris around themselves and slip abacuses and chalkboard into their backpacks.
They are going to school.
They live in Maharashtra state in India, a country where women are nearly a third less likely than men to be able to read and write.
Some of them have trouble with seeing the letters, and others feel chest pain when they talk. But every day except Thursday, these women gather to learn from a teacher less than half their age.
International Women's Day 2017 is the one-year anniversary of the school, and photographer Satyaki Ghosh has been documenting the women's journey to literacy.
Ansuya Deshmukh is 90 years old. The daughter of labourers, she was married off at the age of 10. "There was no money to buy slate and books, no money to buy clothes," she says. "I used to go sometimes, mostly alternate days, but I used to fall sick so they stopped sending me to school."
In the past year, she has learned enough to sign her name, say the alphabet and count to 21.
Yogendra Bangar, 41, is the founder of the school.
He started it after women in the village told him that if only they could read, they would be able to read about the life of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a 17th century king whose life is celebrated in the village every year.
"It is said that women have to be respected on Women's Day, so we thought that our grandmothers, who until now have not received respect, shall finally get the respect they deserve," he says.
"The people of our grandmothers' generation did not get any opportunity to go to school."

Mr Bangar raised money from a charity for the women's saris and teaching materials, and found a classroom.
"If a woman is educated, the entire house becomes educated as she brings knowledge and light to the house," says Mr Bangar.
Ramabhai Ganpat's grandchildren take her hands in theirs and walk her to school.
"Feels good," she says. "We love going to school. We take our bags and all of us grandmothers go together. We feel proud that we are able to learn so well."
She laughs: "We have books now but we can't really read because we can't even see properly because of our age.
"When we die and go to God and he asks us 'What have you done in your life?' we will tell him that we didn't do much but we went to school and at least learnt to sign our own name.
"I enjoy coming to school. It makes the day worthwhile."
At the start of the school day, the women pray together, repeating: "I will never stop worshipping the goddess Saraswati" - the Hindu goddess of knowledge and wisdom.
Every day, they water the trees they have planted in the school grounds.
The school's 30-year-old teacher Sheetal More, works for free. Her mother-in-law is one of her students.
Over the past year, one member of the group has passed away and three new women in the 60-90 year-old age group have moved to the village, so the class has grown from 28 to 30.
They are not yet fully literate and some complain that it is hard to remember what they have been taught. But they can sign their names instead of using a thumbprint - a big step.
On International Women's Day 2017, the women will mark their one-year anniversary with celebrations.
Mrs More, the teacher, says: "It feels good to see that even women from the older generation who did not receive education in the past are educated now.
"And in all of India whoever is uneducated should be educated. There should be schools for all women in all the villages."

Steve Strange, who died at the age of 55 while on holiday in Egypt, was a leading influence of the New Romantic movement in the 1980s as a club entrepreneur and a singer with the band Visage.
His roots were far from the glamorous life he led as an adult.
He was born Steven John Harrington in the Gwent valleys town of Newbridge. As a child, his family moved away from the area to run seaside cafes and guests houses.
But he returned to the town with his mother after his parents divorced. His father later killed himself after learning he had a brain tumour.
Growing up as a teenager in the close-knit former mining community, he struggled to conform and found himself suspended from school after sporting orange hair and a chain through his nose after listening to punk music.
He said he simply did not fit into life in a valleys community.
"I was the freak of the village, long before Matt Lucas started doing those sketches. I was banned from school but I was a grade A student. It was ridiculous," he told BBC Wales in 2013.
"I wasn't going to be a rugby player and I wasn't going to go down the pit, so I ran away. I was a creative spirit and I ran away."
Strange found escapism in music and during the 1970s, had been a regular face at the Stowaway club in Newport - a place where "it was hard to tell who were the girls and who were the boys", according to its former DJ Jonny Perkins.
"It was all a bit strange back then - it was the 70s and there was a great revolution," said Mr Perkins, now a music promoter in the city.
"Steve was just one of the boys. He used to like his music and dressing up and having fun, just like everyone else.
"I remember him coming up to me to ask for certain records. He was a sociable guy.
"But I didn't realise he had musical inclination of his own until he went to London."
In 1976, he went to a Sex Pistols concert in the Castle Cinema in Caerphilly.
Not long after, he left Wales, and took a job designing artwork for Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren.
It was there that he met Rusty Egan - who Strange and Midge Ure would later join with to form Visage. Egan and Strange became flatmates and established their first club night.
They were soon running the most sought-after clubs in London - Billy's, Blitz and the Camden Palace, booking the likes of Spandau Ballet and Culture Club at the start of their careers.
It became a place for aspiring New Romantics thanks to Strange's door policy of admitting only "the weird and wonderful".
The club also counted David Bowie among its fans, who according to Strange went there "because he had heard how bizarre it was".
Welsh-born Lowri-Ann Richards, who was a backing singer for Visage and a friend of Strange's until his death, said: "I remember him standing by the door of the Blitz Club in London, and he'd only let people in if the clothes they were wearing were colourful or wonderful or amazing in some way.
"One night I even remember Mick Jagger turning up in jeans and sneakers and being turned away.
"What Steve did that was different was give young people a place to go - he'd take over a club from the owners for a night and let all his friend in."
However, as Visage became more popular following their hit with Fade to Grey in 1980, Strange struggled to cope with the pressure of combining his music career and running clubs.
By the mid-80s he had spiralled into heroin addiction and later suffered the double blow of the death of his good friend, INXS singer Michael Hutchence, and the loss of his possessions in a house fire.
He returned to Wales, where he suffered a nervous breakdown.
In what he later said was a cry for help, he was arrested for stealing a £10.99 Tellytubby doll in Bridgend and given a three-month suspended sentence.
At the hearing, his solicitor said: "My client has found it difficult to cope with falling from grace after being a man of considerable wealth."
After treatment, Strange revived Visage, releasing a new album, Hearts and Knives, in May 2013.
And after years of running away, Wales became his sanctuary and he spent his last years living in the seaside town of Porthcawl.
"I love London but I know when it's time to go home," he told BBC Wales.
"I need to recharge my batteries. I miss my mother and my nephews. I miss the luxury of a warm bed."
The visitors had the best chance of a lively first half, but Elliot Lee's effort, which deflected off Tom Aldred, flew just wide of the upright.
Midway through the second half, Porter found space to volley Colchester into the lead from close range.
Blackpool pushed for a leveller, but Jim McAlister's header was saved by Elliot Parish as Colchester hung on.
The result meant both sides remain in the relegation zone with Colchester eight points adrift of safety in 23rd place and Blackpool one point behind Shrewsbury in 21st position.
The nine points they earned from their final three National League fixtures of the season saw the club to safety.
And it can only have strengthened the case of the 45-year-old former Port Vale, York City, Birmingham City and Northern Ireland international winger.
"What I won't do now is put any pressure on the board," said McCarthy.
"They gave me an opportunity and they have been great with me."
McCarthy has had experienced centre-half Ian Sharps as his assistant in his four games in charge since the abrupt sacking of Steve Burr.
And the popular, mild-mannered McCarthy's priority in that time has been to make it clear in the dressing room that he has what it takes to be the main man.
"I've been around the club for a while in a different capacity and it was just about changing the perception of me," Middlesbrough-born McCarthy told BBC Radio Merseyside.
"People who know me know what I was like but there were a lot of fans who didn't know who I was. But I have my vision and philosophy for the club, and I am grateful they have given me a chance and listened to what I have had to say."
McCarthy is understood to be on a four-man shortlist, all of whom are to be interviewed this week.
The first task for whoever gets the job will be to sort out a contractual situation which means that only four Chester players - goalkeeper Jon Worsnop, midfielder Tom Shaw, winger Craig Mahon and promising youngster Sam Hughes - are signed up for next season.
Residents at Bryn Bras, Llanfairpwll, said the birds are noisy early in the morning, and that they pose a danger to small children as they swoop down.
The birds have been nesting at the estate for about two years.
Anglesey council said it had received complaints about the gulls - but its hands were tied as the birds are protected.
Some residents said they were afraid to take their dogs for a walk or eat in their gardens.
Janet Roberts said: "They're around the house about five o'clock in the morning waking everyone up.
"There is bird poo everywhere on the house walls and I have tried to get rid of it."
The council said it was a criminal offence to intentionally kill or harm any seagull, or to destroy a nest, and, therefore, the council was not able to provide any service to get rid of them.
He told the Huffington Post UK he could not "believe" it when he saw the Times reports of what he had said in a Pakistani television interview.
He said his comments were "completely wrong", "unacceptable" and the product of a "twisted mind" - but took "full responsibility" for them.
The peer has been suspended by Labour.
Lord Ahmed told the Huffington Post that he was not anti-Semitic and said he did not have "any explanation or excuse" for his comments.
"I only believe in facts and to be honest I should have stuck with the facts rather than with conspiracy theories," he told The Huffington Post, later reiterating his apology to the Press Association.
When he saw the video on The Times website of the interview he says was given two or three years ago he said: "I was horrified... I could not believe that this was me."
Asked if he had a message for Labour leader Ed Miliband, Lord Ahmed said: "He's of the Jewish faith and I'm sorry that I embarrassed him or anyone else in the Labour Party.
"I'm particularly sorry to all my colleagues in the House of Lords and in the House of Commons because one thing many of them know is that I'm not anti-Semitic or a conspiracy theorist."
Lord Ahmed's comments came in a television interview, thought to have been broadcast in April last year, while he was on a visit to Pakistan.
He told an Urdu-language broadcast he should have been sentenced by a magistrate but pressure had been placed on the courts to charge him with a more serious offence because of his support for Palestinians.
"My case became more critical because I went to Gaza to support Palestinians. My Jewish friends who own newspapers and TV channels opposed this," the Times reports him as saying in the television interview.
He said the judge who had sentenced him had been appointed to the High Court after helping a "Jewish colleague" of Tony Blair during "an important case", the newspaper adds.
Lord Ahmed was jailed for 12 weeks in 2009 after sending and receiving text messages while driving.
He was freed by the Court of Appeal after serving 16 days of the sentence because of "exceptional" mitigation relating to his community work.
He had been involved in a fatal crash minutes after sending the messages on Christmas Day 2007.
He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving but did not face the more serious charge of causing death by dangerous driving because no causal link could be established between his texts and the crash.
But the case was transferred from Sheffield Magistrates Court to Sheffield Crown Court for sentencing because the district judge in the case felt his sentencing powers were not sufficient.
The 55-year-old Pakistan-born businessman and Labour Party activist was appointed to the House of Lords by Tony Blair in 1998. He was one of the first three Muslim peers,
He was suspended and investigated by the Labour Party in 2012 after allegations he had called for a £10m bounty for the capture of US Presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush. He was subsequently cleared and reinstated.
The Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has cleared Birmingham and Liverpool for the final phase of its selection process.
Both cities will now be inspected in August, before the final decision in September.
The DCMS will then forward the bid to the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF).
Birmingham and Liverpool were recently inspected to see if their bids were developed enough to be considered, and also if they left a good legacy for their city, region and the UK.
They must submit detailed proposals next month.
Liverpool's bid is a partnership with Manchester, which hosted the games in 2002.
Manchester's two potential venues are the Velodrome, which is the home of British cycling, and the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground, although this depends on cricket being included in the 2022 games.
The main stadium for Liverpool will be a partnership with Everton FC which is planning to build a new ground at Bramley Moore Dock.
While the Birmingham plan envisages creating creating the UK's largest permanent athletics stadium.
Liverpool Mayor, Joe Anderson, said: "We will work tirelessly in the coming weeks to persuade the government that Liverpool is the right choice to help showcase Britain in a post-Brexit world."
The 2022 Commonwealth Games were stripped from Durban in March. The CGF has said the final decision will take place in the autumn.
"The constituent assembly lacks legitimacy and because of that we cannot accept the result," he said.
Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro called the vote as protests against his government gained momentum in May.
The opposition sees it as a move towards dictatorship.
The new constituent assembly, comprising 545 members, will rival the National Assembly, currently controlled by the opposition.
"We insist on a peaceful solution for the country's situation," said President Santos.
Earlier on Friday, police in the Venezuelan capital Caracas fired tear gas and rubber bullets against opposition activists who blocked roads. At least two people were injured.
Venezuela has banned protests that could "disturb or affect" the vote.
Prison terms of between five and 10 years could be imposed on those contravening the ban, Interior Minister Néstor Reverol said on Thursday.
The ban on activity will remain in force until Tuesday.
Katy Watson, BBC News, Caracas
When you drive around Caracas at night, you really notice the lack of street lights - it's very dark and it feels unsafe.
A day after the government banned protests ahead of Sunday's vote, the streets of Caracas felt eerily quiet.
There were sporadic demonstrations but what stood out were the blockades or "guarimbas" as the Venezuelans call them. Some barricades are just piles of rubbish, others are made with bricks or barbed wire.
It's a tactic used by the opposition aimed at halting traffic and causing disruption. And it works - finding a straightforward route is hard, dodging cars driving down the wrong side of the road is the norm, it seems, anything to find a way out of the barricades and get home.
More than 100 people have been killed in protest-related violence since April.
The situation has worsened to the point that the United States has ordered family members living at the embassy in Caracas to evacuate the country. It also authorised its staff members to leave if they desire.
Mr Maduro said his opponents should "abandon the road to insurrection" and added that he would be willing to begin a "roundtable dialogue in the next few hours".
On Wednesday, the US imposed sanctions on 13 senior Venezuelan officials, including Mr Reverol.
The sanctions freeze the US assets of those targeted and stop American entities from doing business with them.
President Donald Trump promised "strong and swift economic actions" if the poll goes ahead.
Mr Maduro responded by describing the US as imperialists bent on ruling the world and called the sanctions "illegal, insolent and unprecedented".
The 37-year-old hit 124 in a total of 363-9 in Hobart, to go with his previous tons in the tournament against Bangladesh, England and Australia.
Sangakkara passed 500 ODI dismissals as Scotland were bowled out for 215.
Captain Preston Mommsen and Freddie Coleman scored half centuries but Sri Lanka finish with four wins in Pool A.
They look set to face South Africa in the first of the quarter-finals in Sydney on Wednesday.
Although they posted their best ever total batting second against a Test-playing nation, a fifth defeat means Scotland remain without a win. They will play co-hosts Australia in their final match on Saturday in Hobart.
On a day of records at Bellerive Oval, left-hander Sangakkara recorded his fifth World Cup century and is now one behind the record of six held by India's Sachin Tendulkar.
He has now scored 14,189 ODI runs and only Tendulkar (18,426), who retired in 2013, has more runs for their country in the 50-over format.
Sangakkara, who became the first ever player to score four centuries at a World Cup, has previously suggested he will retire from ODI cricket at the end of the tournament.
The wicketkeeper has enjoyed a prolific spell in the last 12-18 months, becoming the fastest player to reach 12,000 Test runs in January in the same match in which he scored his 11th double century, moving him one behind the record held by Australian great Don Bradman.
"I've been batting and keeping for a long time, it's getting harder and the joints are creaking and aching, but I consider myself lucky to be part of a great team," he said.
"No matter how hard you try, it's hard to pinpoint why I'm playing so well.
"Maybe I'm making better decisions at the crease, I don't know. Whatever it is, it's working for me at the moment."
His 124 against Scotland in Hobart followed earlier scores of 105 not out against Bangladesh, 117 not out against England and 104 against Australia.
Batting first, Sri Lanka's total owed much to a 195-run partnership for the second-wicket between Sangakkara and Tillakaratne Dilshan (104).
They reached their respective centuries in consecutive balls before being dismissed in the space of two balls by Scotland seamer Josh Davey.
Davey's figures of 3-63 moved him to the top of the World Cup wicket-takers with 14, one ahead of New Zealand pair Trent Boult and Tim Southee.
A 20-ball half century from Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews, which included four successive sixes off the bowling of Matt Machan had put them on course for a score of more than 400.
But a flurry of late wickets and some impressive catching meant Scotland restricted their tail enders.
Scotland's reply got off to the worst possible start when Kyle Coetzer presented a simple return catch to Lasith Malinga second ball of the innings.
Captain Mommsen (60) and Coleman (70) ensured the chase had respectability with a 118-run partnership for the fourth wicket.
But once they had departed, only all-rounder Richie Berrington (29) could make a score of any note.

The Target stores will no longer be selling a beanie hat, a hoodie and a foam can holder advertising Anzac Day.
The incident comes only days after supermarket chain Woolworths was forced to take down an Anzac Day campaign.
Some 11,500 Australian and New Zealand soldiers died in the WW1 battle that Anzac Day commemorates on 25 April.
The three products were among 50 or so items being sold by Target on behalf of Camp Gallipoli, a non-profit organisation that is aimed at educating young Australians about the legacy of Anzac Day.
The chief executive of Camp Gallipoli, Chris Fox, said that all profits from the merchandise were being donated to veterans or their families.
He said the funds would go to the Returned and Services League (RSL) which supports those who have served in the armed forces, and Legacy, an organisation which supports families of those killed or injured in the services.
But the withdrawn items were "deemed to be unsuitable and in breach of the permit" given to Camp Gallipoli to use the word "Anzac" on products, Australia's Veterans' Affairs Minister Michael Ronaldson told AFP news agency.
A spokesman for the ministry said that both Camp Gallipoli and Target - which is unrelated to the US retail company of the same name - had responded promptly to the request.
Mr Fox said he was concerned the negative publicity was detracting from the spirit of what his organisation is trying to do.
"All of Australia should be focusing on legacy and the spirit of mateship," he told the Sydney Morning Herald.
Earlier this week Woolworths was asked by the government to take down an advertising campaign which used the slogan "fresh in our memories" over photos of World War One soldiers, echoing Woolworth's slogan "The fresh food people".
Roy Coyle has been in temporary charge at the Oval since Alan Kernaghan's resignation last month.
Haveron won the Championship as Carrick Rangers manager but quit in May despite keeping them in the Premiership.
The Nixon brothers, both former Glens players who are now at H&W Welders, would manager together at the club.
Colin, who made a record 792 appearances for Glentoran, works with the Welders U20 side while Alan is first-team coach.
Former Coleraine and Ballymena United player Haveron left Carrick after a controversial end to last season.
Rangers avoided relegation by finishing 10th but the club was later charged for failing to implement Haveron's touchline ban against Dungannnon.
It could have resulted in Carrick losing three points and being relegated but the Irish FA decided not to apply any sanction following a hearing.
Glentoran have made a poor start to the season and lie 10th in the Premiership standings while Kernaghan stepped sown after a shock League Cup defeat by Annagh United.
It comes after reports in the Sun that the 21-year-old is considering going public over a desire to join Chelsea.
Martinez insists Stones is not for sale and when asked if he knew of a transfer request said: "Not at all, no."
Everton have rejected bids of £20m and £26m while refusing to comment on a third offer. Martinez confirmed Stones will face Manchester City on Sunday.
He added: "[Stones] has been the hot topic of this transfer window. My only concern is preparing for the game."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is believed to want England international Stones as a replacement for captain John Terry, 34, who was substituted during the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City last Sunday.
For the BBC's recent Tech Talent week we asked why the UK can't build a company on the scale of Google.
Each day we did a video profile of someone with a stake in the UK tech economy, to get their perspective on the issue.
Our guests were established technology entrepreneurs Alex Depledge and Herman Narula; aspiring start-up founders Ben Stanway and David Kramaley; and start-up mentor Stefano Tresca.
Each person made his or her contribution separately. Nonetheless, three common ideas emerged for plotting a route to UK tech success.
Success breeds success. You knew this already. But had you considered this can be both psychological and practical?
Ben Stanway, in his twenties, has just started his entrepreneurial journey with his app Moneybox, which is barely a month old in the App Store. It allows you simultaneously to track your personal finances and to invest. He admitted to craving psychological inspiration from entrepreneurial role models in the UK.
"This is a very important thing," he explained. The more role models there are, the better it is for the whole ecosystem. So it's great to see companies such as TransferWise and Deliveroo succeed globally."
For Herman Narula, founder and chief executive of virtual reality company Improbable, these success stories also need to fire up the imagination.
"We need to be comfortable with the idea of setting up a company to find something mind-blowingly important, like electric cars or space travel. We need a single, breakout success."
Indeed UK entrepreneurs with "megalomaniac" ambitions are what we need, according to Stefano Tresca. He is in close contact with the start-up community, as co-founder of Level 39, an incubator initiative in London.
American entrepreneurs have a natural desire to become the biggest company in the world, he said. "It's not that European entrepreneurs are lazy, but if you aim the bar low, it's very hard to build something big."
"Europeans love to cash out and sell their company, live the good life, and that includes me," he admitted.
However, success when it comes will bring very practical advantages to everyone, explained entrepreneur Alex Depledge.
"We don't really have that many people in the UK or even Europe who have captained or been a part of an early stage company as it scales up rapidly."
She sold her online business for booking domestic cleaners, Hassle, to a German company after three years for £24m. Looking back, she feels a shallow talent pool held back growth.
"It's like the blind leading the blind."
For Alex Depledge and fellow seasoned entrepreneur Herman Narula, the issue of Brexit weighed heavily on their minds.
What they feared most was losing access to something that is still emerging: the European Digital Single Market.
This is an initiative by the European Commission to harmonise rules for doing digital business in Europe. It was launched by Jean-Claude Juncker in May last year and covers everything from copyright and data protection to digital business regulation.
"We need to make the Digital European Single Market for e-economy come true," said Herman Narula. "That would be amazing for companies trying to build successful platforms."
If the UK wants to match the US in building vast technology companies, said Alex Depledge, matching its consumer base by tapping into Europe makes sense.
"Imagine this, the US has a domestic market of 300 million consumers. In the UK our market is 70 million. But put us in Europe and it's 500 million. But the cost of us doing business across Europe is so much greater than the cost within the US, where state to state their markets are quite harmonised.
"Unfortunately, for me, the vote for Brexit has just set ourselves back at least four or five steps in that mission to create companies as big as Apple and Google."
It remains to be seen during Brexit negotiations whether the UK can gain access to any benefits from this emerging Digital Single Market.
"Too many conservative investors in Europe is a problem," said Stefano Tresca, "because now it's a global fight.
"If you don't have the money to fight the US competition, however good you are, you can lose."
David Kramaley is on the sharp end of this phenomenon. The American start-up entrepreneur is trying to make it in the UK with his chess app, Chessable.
"European investors treat [you] cautiously and really want to know when they are going to see a return on their investment, [whereas] American investors feel they are part of the team," he explained.
"Tech start-ups will always be risky ventures," he pointed out. "So it's not about lending, it's about being part of it."
Moneybox founder Ben Stanway was also struck by this.
"In the US they are very interested in what countries you want to expand into next," he recalled. "But in the UK we've had questions on whether we need to grow the team quite so fast."
US tech firms raised $39bn (£25bn) last year, while UK ones raised $3.6bn (£2.4bn). But the problem isn't just down to frigidity among investors.
There are bigger forces at work, according to two of our contributors.
"We don't have the sophistication in the financial markets," explained Alex Depledge.
There is funding available for the early stages of growth, she explained, but this starts to dry up when you need sums like £10m or more, to take your company to the next level.
A US tech company can realistically look to float on the stock market, which is why they grow as big as they can, pointed out Stefano Tresca.
Hence in their early days Google refused an offer from Yahoo, and Facebook resisted the charms of Google.
There is less appetite among UK stock-pickers for tech companies, so instead UK tech companies grow to a reasonable size and sell out to a tech giant in a private sale.
Eventually, all these entrepreneurs hope, it won't be just the ideas and the talent that originate in the UK, but the finance too.

Somerset added 33 to their overnight score to declare on 587-8.
That allowed Craig Overton to make his maiden first-class hundred (138) and also set a new Somerset eighth-wicket record with fellow centurion Roelof van der Merwe, who was unbeaten on 102.
But Ervine and Adams then put on 159 to help Hampshire force a draw on 254-5.
Needing 250 to make Somerset bat again, after the early loss of Hampshire skipper Will Smith for a duck, Ervine was missed behind the stumps off Jim Allenby in the last over before the interval.
Although they did lose three wickets, two of them to Van der Merwe, Adams took the game out of Somerset's reach with a further key stand of 60 for the fifth wicket with Ryan McLaren.
Hampshire's extra five points from the draw lift them a little closer to safety, having also gained five bonus points to narrow the gap on seventh-placed Durham, who have a game in hand, to 14 points.
Somerset's next game is at Edgbaston on Monday when they meet Warwickshire in the One-Day Cup semi-final.
It took Overton and Van der Merwe just nine more runs on day four to set a new record eighth-wicket partnership for Somerset, wiping out a mark set by two of the county's most famous players in the process.
The previous record of 172 was jointly held by Somerset's two knights, Viv Richards and Ian Botham.
Their stand, compiled against Leicestershire at Grace Road in 1983, was then matched by Adrian Pierson and Steffan Jones against New Zealand at Taunton in 1999.
The new record was raised to 217 before Overton was finally out for 138, having hit eight sixes.
Exeter surged into a 24-3 lead at half-time courtesy of tries from Jack Yeandle and Will Chudley before a penalty try as a maul was brought down.
Olly Woodburn, Carl Rimmer, Thomas Waldrom, James Short and Ian Whitten then all crossed after the break.
Worcester did find time for three consolation tries from Josh Adams, Wynand Olivier and Dewald Potgieter.
Exeter have won all nine of their Premiership encounters against the Warriors and move to within a point of the top four after back-to-back bonus point wins.
Their latest victory almost mirrored the previous league meeting between the two sides at Sandy Park in April, when the Chiefs also scored eight tries in a 50-12 victory.
Once again they were on top from the off against an injury-ravaged Warriors side, who were also without a number of players on international duty.
Chiefs fly-half Gareth Steenson was perfect off the tee, kicking 15 points from seven attempts before making way for Joe Simmonds.
Worcester have just one victory in their past eight matches in all competitions with only winless Bristol keeping them off the bottom of the table.
Exeter assistant coach Ali Hepher:
"It was a tough pre-season but the defeat against Clermont (last month) was the turning point. Since then, the guys have improved and they are now mentally in a great place.
"We are pleased with the performances in the last two or weeks, but we are disappointed to have conceded three tries as it doesn't improve our stats.
"It was great to introduce some of our youngsters but we did lose a little bit of direction, which they will learn from.
Worcester director of rugby Carl Hogg:
"We struggled to defend against their power and pace as we couldn't make tackles behind their gain line so they had plenty of quick ball.
"This put their big ball carriers on the front foot and they caused us a lot of damage.
"Exeter made a slow start to the season but they are now very much in form and we gave them an easy and an early opportunity for them to gain momentum."

This means the government cannot trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - beginning formal exit negotiations with the EU - on its own.
Theresa May says the referendum - and existing ministerial powers - mean MPs do not need to vote, but campaigners called this unconstitutional.
The government is appealing, with a further hearing expected next month.
The prime minister's spokeswoman said she would be calling President of the EU Commission Jean-Claude Juncker to say she intended to stick to her March 2017 deadline for triggering Article 50.
Amid suggestions that she might try to call an early general election, she added that Mrs May believed "there shouldn't be an election until 2020 and that remains her view".
A statement is to be made to MPs on Monday but the government says it has no intention of letting the judgement "derail Article 50 or the timetable we have set out".
Brexit Secretary David Davis said he presumed the court ruling meant an act of Parliament would be required to trigger Article 50 - so would be subject to approval by both MPs and peers.
But the government was going to contest that view in an appeal, and said the referendum was held only following "a six-to-one vote in the Commons to give the decision to the British people".
"The people are the ones Parliament represents - 17.4m of them, the biggest mandate in history, voted for us to leave the European Union. We are going to deliver on that mandate in the best way possible for the British national interest," he told the BBC.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn urged the government "to bring its negotiating terms to Parliament without delay", adding that "there must be transparency and accountability to Parliament on the terms of Brexit".
But UKIP leader Nigel Farage said he feared a "betrayal" of the 51.9% of voters who backed leaving the EU in June's referendum and voiced concern at the prospect of a "half Brexit".
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said the court ruling could mean potentially "months and months" of parliamentary hurdles but said a majority of MPs would be likely to vote for Article 50 - despite having backed the Remain campaign - as Brexit had been supported in the referendum.
Analysis - BBC political correspondent Eleanor Garnier
It is one of the most important constitutional court cases in generations. And the result creates a nightmare scenario for the government.
Theresa May had said she wanted to start Brexit talks before the end of March next year but this ruling has thrown the prime minister's timetable up in the air.
Campaigners who brought the case insist it was about "process not politics", but behind the doors of No 10 there will now be serious head-scratching about what the government's next steps should be.
This decision has huge implications, not just on the timing of Brexit but on the terms of Brexit. That's because it's given the initiative to those on the Remain side in the House of Commons who, it's now likely, will argue Article 50 can only be triggered when Parliament is ready and that could mean when they're happy with the terms of any future deal.
Of course, it will be immensely difficult to satisfy and get agreement from all those MPs who voted to remain. Could an early general election be on the cards after all?
Investment manager Gina Miller, who brought the case, said outside the High Court that the government should make the "wise decision of not appealing".
She said: "The result today is about all of us. It's not about me or my team. It's about our United Kingdom and all our futures."
Government lawyers had argued that prerogative powers were a legitimate way to give effect "to the will of the people".
But the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, declared: "The government does not have power under the Crown's prerogative to give notice pursuant to Article 50 for the UK to withdraw from the European Union."
The three judges looking at the case found there was no constitutional convention of the royal prerogative - powers used by ministers - being used in legislation relating to the EU.
They added that triggering Article 50 would fundamentally change UK people's rights - and that the government cannot change or do away with rights under UK law unless Parliament gives it authority to do so.
Calling the case "a pure question of law", Lord Thomas said: "The court is not concerned with and does not express any view about the merits of leaving the European Union: that is a political issue."
Former attorney general Dominic Grieve told the BBC he believed there was time for the government to get legislation through Parliament before the end of March, should they lose the appeal.
He added: "It will certainly allow the opportunity to debate the issues surrounding Brexit but it is worth bearing in mind that it's a bit difficult to fetter the government as to what it should do after Article 50 is triggered because actually, what the government can deliver ... is entirely dependent on the negotiating position of the 27 other member states... So you can't really order the government to stay in the single market because that may not be something that the government can deliver."
Reacting to the ruling, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox told the House of Commons the government was "disappointed" but remained "determined to respect the result of the referendum".
But UKIP's Mr Farage said: "We are heading for a half Brexit."
He added: "I worry that a betrayal may be near at hand... I now fear that every attempt will be made to block or delay the triggering of Article 50. If this is so, they have no idea of the level of public anger they will provoke."
Labour leader Mr Corbyn said: "This ruling underlines the need for the government to bring its negotiating terms to Parliament without delay. Labour respects the decision of the British people to leave the European Union. But there must be transparency and accountability to Parliament on the terms of Brexit."
But Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said: "Ultimately, the British people voted for a departure but not for a destination, which is why what really matters is allowing them to vote again on the final deal, giving them the chance to say no to an irresponsible hard Brexit that risks our economy and our jobs."
Addressing suggestions that Mrs May could call a general election before 2020 - when the next election is scheduled to take place under the Fixed Term Parliaments Act - Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "If you're asking me do I think today's judgement makes a general election more likely than it was yesterday, I think the answer to that is probably yes."
The UK voted by 52% to 48% to leave the European Union in a referendum on 23 June.
The EU's other 27 member states have said negotiations about the terms of the UK's exit - due to last two years - cannot begin until Article 50 has been invoked.

Coventry, FA Cup winners in 1987, have now been knocked out by a team from a lower division three seasons running.
"I feel for everyone connected with the football club," said Venus.
"I feel for the goalkeeping coach, who played in the Cup final (Steve Ogrizovic). I feel for the kit man, who's been at the club for 30 years."
Former assistant manager Venus, 49, was asked in October to take charge of the Sky Blues until January, while the League One side search for a permanent successor to Tony Mowbray.
However, Coventry have now lost four games in a row, conceding 11 goals and scoring only two in that time.
"The performance from my football team wasn't good enough to be deserving of the manager, to be honest - I've got to take that into consideration," Venus told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.
"It's been a terrible afternoon and I have to take responsibility for everything, which is fine. But I think the team and everyone should be stood here taking responsibility as well." | Laura Robson failed to build on her best win since wrist surgery two years ago as she lost in the second round of qualifying for the WTA clay court event in Stuttgart.

The Democratic presidential nominee's comprehensive proposal tackles better access to mental health treatment as well as suicide prevention.
About 43.6 million adults in the US experienced mental health illness in 2014, according to a government study.
Mrs Clinton also plans to address drug and alcohol addiction this week.
"Her goal is that within her time in office, Americans will no longer separate mental health from physical health when it comes to access to care or quality of treatment," Mrs Clinton's campaign said in statement.
About 17 million children in the US experience mental health issues, including one in five college students, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Meanwhile, nearly one in five veterans returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars reported experiencing post-traumatic stress or depression.

Allies of George Osborne are studying an Institute for Fiscal Studies idea to return tax credits to 2003/4 levels, plus inflation - saving £5bn.
Changes would cut entitlements for about 3.7 million low-income families by about £1,400 a year, the IFS said.
Political allies of Mr Osborne say the move would increase incentives to work.
The plan would return the per-child element of child tax credit to its real CPI-adjusted 2003/4 level.
Government sources said it would represent a cutting of the system of tax credits put in place by former prime minister Gordon Brown, which they believe "papered over" poverty in the UK rather than seeking to address its "root causes".
MPs and experts close to Mr Osborne believe reducing current tax credits would see low-income households encouraged to take on more work to keep their family income up.
The IFS has calculated that for the poorest families it would mean a reduction of £845 per child per year.
A family with two children, where at least one parent works full-time, would see their tax credit entitlement running out at £28,847 of gross earnings - rather than £32,969.
However, senior Tory sources suggest that over the years tax credits have allowed big companies to get away with paying employees lower wages.
They say the time has come for a shift from state pay-outs to companies shouldering more of the burden.
David Skelton, director of the Conservative pressure group Renewal, told BBC Two's Newsnight that he agreed the tax credit bill could be lowered.
"The issue at the moment is that we are facing tough fiscal choices," Mr Skelton said.
He added: "What I would like to see is the burden moved away from the taxpayer and from the state towards some big profitable employers.
"The point is you have a lot of employers who are basically getting subsidy from the state for low paid work and we'd like to see a shift towards those employers who can afford to pay the living wage to pay the living wage.
"To encourage workers to work more hours if they can, if they are working part time at the moment. And also get to see a higher minimum wage over time as well.
"So that shift in the burden should come from the state towards employers over the medium term."
The UK can no longer "paper over the cracks of in work poverty", he added.
Former Conservative minister Damian Green told Newsnight the idea was "clearly one of the options in front of ministers".
"The scale of the cuts, it is quite big, they are necessary and we had a government elected about a month ago on the basis of doing this," he said.
"I don't think anyone can complain that ministers are looking at options."
Stephen Timms, Labour's acting work and pensions secretary, said plans to cut £12bn from social security would hit "working families and children hard".
"It's clear that David Cameron and George Osborne's plan will make working families less secure," he said.
The idea is among many being considered as the Tories wrestle with how to deliver their pledge to cut £12bn from Britain's £220bn budget for benefits and tax credits.
There is widespread concern inside Downing Street that the cuts are impossible to do while repositioning the Conservatives as the party of working people.
During the general election, Prime Minister David Cameron promised he would not be cutting many benefits - including the state pension, pensioner benefits, and child benefit.
It means that a large amount of the £220bn welfare budget is now out of bounds.
Many are concerned that there is little way to find £12bn of welfare cuts without cutting the income received by people in work through tax credits.
Yesterday, Mr Cameron's ex-speechwriter Clare Foges wrote that it was time for a "mea culpa" moment over the bedroom tax, warning it will remain "a fly in the 'one nation' ointment".
Gordon Hughes, 53, of Castle Douglas, struck in November 2015, leaving his victim in tears.
He had denied the offence, claiming the sex had been consensual, but was convicted of carrying out the rape at a house in his home town.
A judge told him: "Your treatment of the rape victim was cruel and degrading and was calculated to be so."
Johanna Johnston added that he had left the woman "traumatised".
During the trial at the High Court in Glasgow, a jury was shown footage of Hughes raping the woman.
In evidence he claimed that he did not rape her and the sex was consensual. He told the jurors he did not believe she was crying.
However, Hughes was convicted of raping the woman at a house in Castle Douglas.
The court was told he had set up a hidden camera in a TV cabinet. Footage played during the trial showed the woman weeping and wiping away tears.
At one point, Hughes was seen saying: "That was not so bad."
The jury also heard claims that Hughes threatened to put images of his victim on the internet.
The woman was asked during the trial if she had agreed to sex, and she replied: "Absolutely not."
Hughes had pled guilty before the trial to charges of voyeurism in respect of the rape victim and another woman.
Defence QC Murray Macara said: "He is willing to undergo programmes which are available in jail. He maintains the support of his son and daughter."
Hughes was also placed on the sex offenders register.

The Hammers had early chances but an unmarked Enner Valencia misjudged a header and Pedro Obiang volleyed wide.
Randolph twice blocked powerful Joao Teixeira efforts and also saved shots from Cameron Brannagan, Joe Allen and Christian Benteke.
But neither side could score and they will meet again in a replay in London.
Relive Liverpool's draw with West Ham as it happened.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp played a youthful side in the third-round match and subsequent replay against Exeter, but included a mixture of first-team players and youngsters for the visit of the Hammers.
Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, 27, was the oldest player in the Reds' starting line-up, which also included four players - Brad Smith, Cameron Brannagan, Kevin Stewart and Joao Teixeira - who had never started a Premier League match.
This was the ninth game that Liverpool had played in January, and they desperately did not want another match, but that is exactly what they got.
It means their schedule in February will now include at least seven matches, including the League Cup final, two Europa League matches, three Premier League games and one, maybe two, FA Cup ties.
Nevertheless, Klopp will feel his side should have won. A poor touch when only six yards out to waste a chance summed up another ineffective performance from an out-of-form Christian Benteke.
Liverpool were the better team in the second half and created numerous chances, but stand-in captain Allen shot harmlessly over, and Brannagan, Teixeira and Benteke had shots saved by Randolph.
Generally, they were very impressive. Brannagan, 19, who consistently impressed with his set-piece delivery, nearly opened the scoring with a powerful shot from 20 yards out, but goalkeeper Randolph did well to push the ball around the post.
Brad Smith, 21, produced an energetic performance at left-back, often getting forward to help his side's attacks, while handling the threat from the quick Victor Moses with maturity.
Kevin Stewart, 22, a tough-tackling central midfielder, worked hard, making six tackles and two interceptions, and 23-year-old Joao Teixeira, playing on the left side of Liverpool's front three, was twice denied by a diving Randolph.
Three-time winners West Ham were aiming to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup for the fourth time in the last eight seasons - and will have been buoyed when they saw the Liverpool line-up.
They themselves made five changes, although fielded a team rich in Premier League experience apart from Randolph, who played because regular goalkeeper Adrian was back in his native Spain for family reasons.
Yet the Hammers could not take full advantage. They kept trying to utilise Victor Moses' pace against Brad Smith down the right wing, but the defender often came out on top before Moses was withdrawn midway through the second half.
Slaven Bilic will argue that West Ham should have had a penalty, when Steven Caulker appeared to handle in the penalty area, but the Hammers took 50 minutes to have their solitary shot on target.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "We had the bigger chances, but now we have to play again. West Ham have good quality in their team and play well in the league. We tried everything - you need a bit of luck.
"I was pleased with the whole team. Steven Caulker played for the first time in his position in defence and did well, but I cannot fault anyone, they tried and gave all. We played much better than we did at West Ham [in the league], but we didn't score so it is not over.
"The players we changed had the day off today so hopefully nothing happened to them."
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic said: "They had a few moments, we had a few moments. They were better in the second half - they could run more and were better at winning the second balls so it is a great result for us.
"We lacked that kind of quality we normally have in the last third of the pitch, so overall I am happy with the result.
"When you make two subs in the first half your hands are tied in the second half. It limited our options and we had to wait to make a third substitution. Kouyate should be OK for Tuesday hopefully."
Asked if they should have had a penalty for a Steven Caulker handball, Bilic said: "I didn't see the replays so I can't comment. I shouted a few times, they shouted a few times, the crowd shouted a few times, but that is part of the game."
Both teams are next in Premier League action on Tuesday. Liverpool travel to Premier League leaders Leicester City, while West Ham welcome the division's bottom team Aston Villa to Upton Park.

The killing of the Batley and Spen MP, the mother of two young children, has been met with sadness and shock and a recognition that being an MP can be a dangerous job.
While MPs are protected by high security measures in Parliament, it is a different matter in their constituencies.
MPs - even senior government ministers - hold regular surgeries to meet their constituents to help them and discuss issues concerning them.
A report out earlier this year by psychiatrists working with the Home Office, reported in the Guardian, suggested four out of five MPs had suffered intrusive or aggressive behaviour and some feared going out in public.
The ability of MPs and their staff to engage with constituents goes to the heart of our parliamentary democracy.
MPs can represent us here at Westminster only because every week they go back home and meet us face to face.
There will inevitably be another debate about MPs' security. Many are often subject to physical attack. But politics can't happen from behind a ring of steel.
Jo Cox's death is not just an awful tragedy. It is also an assault on our democracy.

Of the 239 who responded to a survey, 43 had been subjected to an attack or attempted attack and 101 had received threats to harm them. Comments included "pulled a knife on me in the surgery", "repeatedly punched me in the face", "came at me with a hammer" and "shot with air rifle".
Last week Conservative MP Gavin Barwell told the Evening Standard he was having to end his "open door" policy to constituents until further notice, after reportedly being threatened with a knife by a furious man outside his office in Croydon, south London.
Speaking on Thursday before the news of Mrs Cox's death, he said his prayers were with her. "It is an unavoidable part of the job that we meet constituents in lots of unsecured locations - on the streets, fairs, meetings.
"Unless you sort of lock MPs away from the public, which would be a terrible thing for our democracy, you can't remove the threat unfortunately."
In 2011, Conservative MP Mike Freer said he was threatened by a group of men while conducting a constituency surgery at North Finchley Mosque in north London. He was escorted to a locked part of the building to wait for police after 12 people forced their way in, and one sat at his table and used abusive language.
Two other high-profile attacks on MPs in their constituencies were the Samurai sword attack on Lib Dem MP Nigel Jones - which resulted in the death of his aide, Andrew Pennington in Cheltenham in January 2000 and the stabbing of Labour's Stephen Timms at his constituency surgery in east London in May 2010.
Mr Timms was stabbed twice in the stomach by a 21-year-old woman, Roshonara Choudhry, who claimed she attacked him in revenge for his support for the war in Iraq. The MP told her trial she had made an appointment to see him specifically, rather than his assistant, at the constituency surgery in Newham and was smiling as she walked towards him, before lunging at him with a kitchen knife.
She was later jailed for life, to serve a minimum term of 15 years, for attempted murder and possession of a knife. Mr Timms said he reviewed his security arrangements but said it would not prevent him from meeting the public.
Nigel, now Lord, Jones survived when sword-wielding Robert Ashman tried to kill him at his constituency surgery in Gloucestershire, but his assistant, local councillor Andrew Pennington, was killed. Lord Jones told the BBC later that he had put more emphasis on security measures following the attack: "We had a security button put in the office which we only used once and we were just very cautious. We changed over to an appointments system rather than just a queuing system."
He said on Thursday that his thoughts were with Mrs Cox's family and friends, adding: "Due process of law should be allowed to proceed without hindrance. MPs do a difficult and sometimes dangerous job."
Labour's shadow policing minister Jack Dromey said additional security measures had been taken in the past, following the attack on Mr Timms, and added: "I think fresh security guidance might now be necessary at the next stages. But that is for the next stages, for today our thoughts are with Jo."
The link between MPs and their constituents is one of the most highly-prized aspects of British democracy and, as Mr Barwell commented, MPs are reluctant to lock themselves away.
It is seen as a way of keeping MPs in touch with their constituents who can often simply turn up at the advertised time and queue up for a chat with their elected representative.
Former deputy PM Nick Clegg, a friend of Mrs Cox, said he was "deeply shocked" by the death of a "lovely decent person". He added: "My heart goes out to her and everybody affected.
"But also it is such a vile affront to our democracy. One of the great things about our democracy is that anybody can just wander in and see their MP in their weekly surgeries.
"That violence against Jo, although that is the most important thing ... is also violence against our democratic values and very proud democratic traditions."

MSPs backed Finance Secretary Derek Mackay's tax and spending plans by a margin of 67 to 59.
A deal was struck with the Greens totalling £220m of extra spending, including £160m for local authorities.
The deal will also see the threshold for the 40p rate of income tax frozen at £43,000.
The same threshold is being raised to £45,000 in the rest of the UK, so the move means higher-rate tax payers elsewhere will pay up to £400 less tax every year than people earning the same wage in Scotland. The Scottish government had originally planned to raise the threshold only by the rate of inflation.
Green co-convener Patrick Harvie told MSPs that his party had secured "the biggest budget compromise in the history of devolution in Scotland".
Speaking at First Minister's Questions, Nicola Sturgeon said her priority was not to cut taxes for the top 10% earning Scottish taxpayers.
But Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson accused Ms Sturgeon of setting out to make Scotland the highest taxed part of the UK.
Previous votes on the budget proposals and on taxation had failed to find any consensus between the parties.
However Mr Mackay confirmed on Thursday morning that a deal had been struck with the Greens, centred around £160m of extra funding for the core council grant.
It will also see £25m extra for the police reform budget and £35m for Scottish Enterprise, and a freezing of the higher 40p rate of tax at £43,000. The threshold for this rate in the rest of the UK is to rise to £45,000.
Mr Mackay said this would only affect 10% of the population, who would end up paying more tax than people earning the same amount in the rest of the UK.
He said the "income forgone amounts to £7.70 a week - less than the cost of a prescription in England".

Mr Mackay said: "I entered into discussions with all parties in good faith in order to build the consensus we need to deliver a budget for Scotland. I particularly welcome the constructive approach taken by the Scottish Greens.
"My latest assessment of the financial position this year and our projections for 2017/18 has enabled me to identify available resources to support additional spending.
"I therefore propose, with the support of the Scottish Green party for all stages of this budget to allocate additional resources, of £160m, to local government to be spent at the discretion of individual authorities.
"Once again this government has listened and acted."
Challenged about the deal by Labour's Kezia Dugdale, Mr Harvie said he believed the Scottish government had "given far less ground than I think they could on taxation".
But he added: "The reality though is £160m additional [funding] going into the un-ringfenced local government allocation.
"The fact that the Scottish government found this money in other ways [than taxation] is not what I would have wished.
"This is not a budget I would have written, but nobody who cares about protecting public services in Scotland can look at that extra £160m investment and say, no thanks, I'd rather just keep ranting and make no difference in people's lives."
Mr Harvie was attacked by other opposition leaders from across the chamber.
Ms Dugdale said: "To accept anything less than bold use of this parliament's tax powers is an astonishing and deeply disappointing revelation from the Greens.
"And let's not kid ourselves. This isn't the Greens' responsibility to parliament shining through, it's the responsibility they have put on themselves to do nothing which might jeopardise the prospect of another divisive independence referendum.
"This is the truth - nationalism first, austerity second, and somewhere down the list of credentials you might just find the environment."
Ms Dugdale said this be remembered as the day the Greens "abandoned any claim to be a party of the progressive left".
Tory MSP Murdo Fraser meanwhile accused the SNP front bench of "swallowing hook, line and sinker the Green Party's hard-left, high-tax agenda".
He said: "They have let Patrick Harvie pull all the strings and it will be hard working Scottish families that suffer as a consequence.
"The finance secretary had a choice going into today's debate. He could have come with us, drop his plans to make Scotland the highest taxed part of the United Kingdom and work together with us to deliver an ambitious Budget focused on growing the economy.
"Or he could turn sharp left and embrace the anti-growth, anti-business agenda of the Green Party. What a pity, what a tragedy for Scotland that he chose to throw in his lot with the lentil-munching, sandal-wearing watermelons on that side of the chamber."
The Lib Dems had asked for up to £400m in spending commitments for mental health, education, policing and transport, but later indicated that "the distance is too great" between the parties.
The party's leader, Willie Rennie, said the Greens had abandoned earlier pledges about a "greener, bolder" Holyrood and were now backing a "timorous and grey deal".
He said the SNP had "turned down an opportunity" to do a deal with the Lib Dems, which he said would have seen millions invested in education and mental health.
He said: "All of that has been turned down today in pursuit of an agenda that was contrary to what they promised that they would deliver.
"So I think the SNP have missed a big opportunity. I think they are hollow with their promises and we will cast a harsher eye over them in future years when they promise to make a big change to Scottish society."
With the general principles of the bill now approved by members, it will move on to be debated at committee level.
Stage three would see separate votes on tax and spending proposals in the chamber in the week beginning 20 February. Mr Mackay confirmed a deal had been agreed for "all stages".

Quite why the port became such a solid patron of Pre-Raphaelitism in the 1850s and 60s forms the basis of a new exhibition at the city's Walker Art Gallery.
Christopher Newall, who has curated the Pre-Raphaelites: Beauty and Rebellion show, says a boom in trade and banking in the 1850s and 60s enabled the newly rich of the North of England to furnish their homes with art.
In cities like Manchester and Newcastle, that meant buying up the old masters, such as Velasquez and Titian. However, in Liverpool, "there emerges this picture of an incredibly fertile, exciting art world which didn't exist in the other Northern cities".
"There's a real interest in contemporary art that was quite challenging and desire to feel modern.
"They were not attempting to have the traditional kind of thing but throwing themselves into having collections of the most modern paintings that British art could offer."
That desire for modernity led the city to the works of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood - a cabal of painters, poets and critics founded by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti who were at the cutting edge of the art world in the 1850s and 60s.
The city's interest in the movement was driven the Liverpool Academy, which "was run by artists who were extraordinarily generous and well-disposed towards Pre-Raphaelitism", Mr Newall says.
"They really embraced this new art movement, even though it originated in London.
"The academy's exhibition took place in the autumn, so works that failed to sell at the Royal Academy's summer exhibition could be sent to Liverpool or artists who had been rejected for that could show in the city.
"There wasn't another institution in the country that offered that kind of welcome.
"The academy even instituted a system where if a work came up to Liverpool, they would pay the return carriage costs if it didn't sell.
"That was either very generous or very self-confident, as they assumed works would be sold and they had a good market, a beady eye for what was going to attract public interest.
"It meant there was this shop window for Pre-Raphaelitism in its most up-to-date form, which meant in turn there grew up in Liverpool and Birkenhead an extraordinary generation of patrons.

The patrons "had walls thick with pictures and were very proud of it". George Rae, a Scot who had cashed in on Liverpool's economic growth, and his wife Julia had more Rossettis in their collection than were anywhere else in the world, while tobacco merchant John Miller also became an avid collector, as did shipowner Frederick Richards Leyland and soap magnate Lord Lever.
"There were lots of people who made lots of money in their generation and didn't have a preconception of what kinds of art they should have on their walls.
"They came to it with a delightful open-mindedness. They were often people of independent frame of mind, perhaps because of the traditions of non-conformism and Unitarianism that existed in the city.
"There was a sense that you didn't need to be in awe of the past."
Crucially, the curator says the "generosity of spending of those men and women really made Pre-Raphaelitism viable".
"Artists like Brown and Rossetti were hugely dependant on their Liverpool patrons."
However, the patrons "weren't just indulging their wealth", he says, but "were totally immersed in the lives and careers of the artists" - Miller and Leyland, for example, both had a friendship with Rossetti.
The University of Liverpool's Dr Matthew Bradley, an expert in Victorian culture, says the reasons for their deep involvement may have been self-serving.
"If you're a self-made man, as people like Frederick Leyland and Lever absolutely were, then that's a natural bit of self-positioning - being a patron confers status if you haven't got a tradition to rely on.
"There's a class element too, particularly if you've made your money in soap, or even worse tobacco or beer, which is where the money for the Walker Art Gallery itself came from.
"You can show off your cultured patron of the arts-ness if you have personal relationships with the artists, and many of the patrons did, and it's interesting how far sometimes the power was with the artists
"Famously, it's Leyland that makes all the running with Rossetti - Rossetti keeps promising to visit Leyland at Speke but rarely does, and then says in a letter that he doesn't want to go because it's boring."
Dr Bradley says the city's new rich magnates were not alone in having such relationships, but Liverpool merchants "cultivated these relationships to a greater extent than other collectors, and were more public about them".
"They're also a bit quicker off the mark in supporting the Pre-Raphaelites than some of the wealthy patrons in other cities, who come to the party a bit later; Birmingham merchants only really start getting interested in the movement in the 1880s and 1890s, for example."
And so Pre-Raphaelitism flourished and became central to British art for the whole of the Victorian era, but as with all art movements, public taste eventually moved on.

Mr Newall says that in a wonderful postscript, the movement's eventual revival was also driven by the city that had largely funded them in the first place.
"The person who really started the ball rolling on this Pre-Raphaelite rediscovery thing was a wonderful woman called Mary Bennett, who was the keeper of art at the Walker in the 1960s.
"She did a succession of pioneering exhibitions for Millais, Holman Hunt and Brown and really put those artists back on the map with her research and her exhibitions.
"She was more or less on her own and it was probably considered quite eccentric, but those exhibitions lead onto a huge exhibition at the Tate in London in 1984 and the Pre-Raphaelites became accessible again."
And with the Walker's exhibition bringing together over 120 works from the movement, it seems the city's love affair with the Pre-Raphaelites continues apace.

The 45-year-old will replace Manuel Pellegrini in June after agreeing a three-year deal at the Etihad.
"He will look to carry on the football of his Barcelona and Bayern teams," Valenti Guardiola said of his son.
Spaniard Guardiola won 14 trophies in four years at Barcelona, including two Champions Leagues, before taking a year out of management and then joining Bayern Munich in 2013.
Media playback is not supported on this device
He announced in December he would be leaving the Bundesliga side after three seasons in charge, during which he has already won two league titles, but has failed to lift the Champions League - twice getting knocked out at the semi-final stage.
"He has this attitude to football [as an art form]," said Valenti. "Not just to win, but to win in a distinctive way that entertains the public."
"The style of football I see in England, I doubt he has that in mind I mean, the football is very different. For that reason, I think he will have to change the mindset of English football.
"I think he will be happy - he wouldn't be leaving if not. Right now in Germany, he is held in very high esteem."
BBC Sport's David Ornstein and Patrick Nathanson travelled to Santpedor, an hour's drive from Barcelona, to speak to Valenti Guardiola at his family home.
The sleepy village, with its intimate squares and winding alleys, would be just like the plethora of other 'pueblos' that dot the Catalan countryside, were it not for the worldwide recognition bestowed upon its most famous son.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Guardiola's parents, Valenti and Dolors, still live in Santpedor and their pride in their son's achievements is evident in the photographs and mementos that decorate the neat family home, just around the corner from the 'Camp d'Esports Municipal Josep Guardiola', where the local team play.
Valenti, a sprightly and affable octogenarian, warmly welcomed us into the house last week, as we went in search of the real Pep Guardiola.
Josep 'Pep' Guardiola Sala joined Barcelona's famed La Masia academy at the age of 13 in 1984 and spent six years in the youth team before making his professional debut in 1990.
"Already from an early age he would always be heading out kicking a football about. There was a sure-fire way to make him happy at Christmas and that was to give him a football as a present.
"As a youngster he would constantly be there playing in the square next to the house where we used to live, always with a ball at his feet. Everywhere he went, he went with a football.
"Given how much we knew Pep loved football, and that Barcelona had always been his team since he was little, we were certainly very happy at the beginning.
"But when he used to call up, it was clear that he was missing his family and his mother used to cry, but only when she had hung up the phone. It was very painful to be apart, but at the same time we knew this had always been his dream in life.
"When I used to go and watch him for the under-14s and we'd head back home in the car together to wash his clothes over the weekend, after a defeat on that journey he would sit in absolute silence. From an early age football was something that consumed him."
Guardiola became a fixture in the Barcelona midfield and had won four La Liga titles, one European Cup and one Copa del Rey, the Spanish domestic cup, by the time he was named captain by manager Louis van Gaal in 1997. By the time he left Barca in 2001, Guardiola had played 11 seasons for the side and won two further league titles and another Spanish Cup. He went on to play in Italy for Brescia and Roma and for Al-Ahli in Qatar before finishing his playing career at Sinaloa in Mexico.
"He has always been a leader. Even when he was playing with his contemporaries as a kid, he was the one orchestrating things, taking the lead. We didn't know where this instinct came from, with him being so young.
"I remember one time a team from a nearby town came to play against Santpedor. One player was missing to make a full 11-a-side game so they said 'Josep, why don't you come and make up the numbers?'
"He played and scored I don't know how many goals. So much so that the other team said as long as Josep is playing, there is no point in them turning up.
"He is a very good person - I don't say this because I am his father; many people would testify to this. The thing that happens is that in a footballing context his personality changes. He changes from the Pep that we know and love.
"He wants to win - to win and to play well. The game transforms him. I really don't understand where his fierce desire comes from. It certainly doesn't come from me, as I never played football. When I watched him on TV he reminded me of Michel Platini, the way he played.
"He was born for football. He liked everything - cinema, theatre - but he lived and lives for football."
Guardiola returned to Barcelona in 2007, taking charge of the B team for one season and winning the Second Division title. He was appointed manager of the senior team in 2008, leading the club to three league titles, two European Cups and two Spanish Cups in his four seasons as boss. He took a year out before becoming boss of Bayern in 2013, leading the German side to two Bundesliga titles and one German Cup to date.
"It was something that we never thought would have happened. He came through the Barcelona youth teams and then the coaching system, so there were those who were familiar with how he worked, and so they said let's give him a go.
"I don't think they regretted it because he became Barca's most successful manager. We were very happy for him, because we knew how much satisfaction it gave him, to have been able to have put Barca where he put them.
"He went to New York [before starting the Bayern job] to disconnect a bit from the stress that came with being manager of Barcelona, and it was also for his children, so that they could learn English well.
"It hasn't gone to his head, he has stayed the same. It is on the pitch that he is transformed. There he doesn't have friends, he doesn't have anyone - he just wants to win. He wants the fans to enjoy his style of football.
"As soon as the referee blows his final whistle, Josep is an unassuming and very likeable guy. In a word, he is humble."
In November 2001, while a player at Brescia, Guardiola was banned from playing for four months and received a £30,000 fine for failing two drugs tests.He continued to protest his innocence and was finally cleared of all charges in 2009.
"There have been times when he has been attacked from all sides. There have been journalists who have not liked him and when there was the whole doping saga in Italy he had to show great strength not to decide to quit the game but rather to continue because he was clean and he wanted to prove that. And that is what happened - he was cleared.
"There were times when he had a headache and his mother would say 'take an aspirin' and he would refuse, in case it affected his blood tests - and they say he was guilty of doping. That was very tough for him, but his response was to fight and fight - and that is the same approach he has with football. It is part of his nature, never to lower his guard.
"It is not like he has been given anything on a plate - when he first started at Barcelona he had to prove himself as there were those who had their doubts and told him to go back home. So he achieved it all through his own hard work."
"They can expect to see someone with great humanity. They will be very happy because he has never disrespected anyone, he is very well-mannered and polite. To use a Catalan expression, 'he wont be taking anyone for a ride'.
"Winning, winning. That is what drove him. Winning but also playing football in a certain way, because at the clubs he was at his style changed the way the team played. Passing, passing, passing then at the right moment, bam, in the goal! None of the long-ball stuff. He never liked that.
"They can be sure that 24 hours a day he will be focused on football - on their next opponents, on tactics. For 24 hours a day he will be looking at ways to bring success to his team. I am certain about that."
Dalian Wanda had said it was selling 13 tourism projects - including three theme parks - and 77 hotels to developer Sunac for $9.3bn (£7.1bn).
But now the deal is being split, with another firm, Guangzhou R&F Properties, taking on the hotels.
One analyst described the restructuring of the deal as "very unusual" and "kind of crazy".
Neither side has commented on why the deal was reworked but it is believed to follow bank scrutiny.
R&F, which said it would now be the world's largest hotel owner, saw its share price jump sharply.
Sunac's stocks also rallied, as investors cheered that the firm was taking on less debt risk.
Under the previous terms, Wanda had been due to lend Sunac more than half the money needed to do the deal, which raised eyebrows among some observers.
The restructuring of the deal was "kind of crazy" said Ben Cavender, senior analyst with China Market Research.
"It is very concerning, and it's very unusual at this late stage to have a $9bn deal, and then to have another deal with another company in place."
He added Chinese firms were running into trouble because they did not have the due diligence or vetting in place for large mergers and acquisitions.
"They put out a lot of press, then the regulators realise there's some issues that need to be addressed. I suspect that's what happened here."
The initial transaction had been a surprise - not least because it represented a U-turn from Dalian Wanda's ambitions to expand in the tourism sector.
The three Chinese theme parks had only opened in the past year, and were intended to compete with US giant Disney's ventures in the country.
While it emerged as a property giant in China, Dalian Wanda has come to prominence abroad after its heavy investment in the film and cinema industries.
It controls the AMC cinema chain, as well as Legendary Entertainment, co-producer of hit films including Godzilla and The Dark Knight Rises.
But it is one of several major Chinese firms whose transactions have come under scrutiny from Beijing, and it has been widely reported that Chinese banks have been told to stop providing funding to Dalian Wanda and others to make overseas acquisitions.
The effects of the clampdown were first seen earlier this year when Wanda pulled out of a $1bn bid for the owner of the Golden Globe TV and film awards.
That pressure is widely seen as a blow to the ambitions of Wanda's billionaire chief executive Wang Jianlin.
"I'm a little bit sympathetic to Wanda," said Christopher Balding, professor of politics and economics at Peking University.
"What they were doing 12 months ago was being heavily encouraged by Chinese regulators. Beijing wanted to improve its soft power with entertainment assets and things like this and Wanda was very willing to help there.
"But they've clearly fallen into a bit of a mess."
The Eurogroup said it had agreed to begin national procedures - parliamentary votes in several states to give the deal final approval.
The measures offered by Greece include combating tax evasion and reforming the public sector.
But the head of the IMF said they lacked "clear assurances" in key areas.
Greece's debt stands at more than €320bn (£237bn), and its current €240bn bailout expires on Saturday. Fresh funding will not be released until Greece's proposals are approved in detail.
The stakes of talks over continued financial aid have been high because of fears of a Greek default that could push it out of the euro, triggering turmoil in the EU.
The main stock market in Athens rose by nearly 10% on Tuesday afternoon, hitting a three-month high.
The Eurogroup said in a statement: "We call on the Greek authorities to further develop and broaden the list of reform measures, based on the current arrangement, in close co-ordination with the institutions."
The European Commission and the European Central Bank (ECB) both stated that the Greek proposals were a "valid starting point".
The agreement had "averted an immediate crisis," said European Commissioner for Economic Affairs Pierre Moscovici.
"It does not mean we approve those reforms, it means the approach is serious enough for further discussion," he added.
Greek pledges: Key points
Pressure still on despite deal
However, International Monetary Fund (IMF) head Christine Lagarde expressed reservations about the reform proposals.
"In some areas like combating tax evasion and corruption I am encouraged by what appears to be a stronger resolve on the part of the new authorities in Athens," she wrote in a letter to the Eurogroup.
"In quite a few areas, however, including perhaps the most important ones, the letter is not conveying clear assurances that the government intends to undertake the reforms envisaged."
The IMF, ECB and the Commission make up the "troika" of institutions that have managed financial rescue programmes for Greece since 2010.
The four-month bailout extension was agreed on Friday after several rounds of talks, pending Greece's delivery of its reform proposals.
The deal was widely seen as a climbdown by Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. The newly elected leader of the left-wing Syriza party is trying to balance satisfying the demands of creditors with meeting his pre-election pledges.
His government wants to clamp down on tax evasion, corruption and inefficiency in order to fund social spending and alleviate what it calls Greece's "humanitarian crisis".
The government has rowed back on pledges to raise the minimum wage and rehire civil servants, but has persuaded the eurozone to allow it to spend some money to help the poor with health insurance and food handouts.
Some on the left of the governing party are opposed to what they see as a climbdown on pre-election promises. But many here are ready to accept a compromise, giving their government credit for actually negotiating rather than simply accepting the eurozone's demands.
This is, in reality, a short-term fix for an economy in which public debt is unsustainable and growth negligible. And in four months' time, Greece will be back at the top of the agenda as the eurozone attempts to work out a long-term strategy for its most debt-stricken member.
ECB head Mario Draghi noted that Greek commitments "differ from existing programme commitments in a number of areas". He said there would be a need to assess whether measures rejected by Greece were "replaced with measures of equal or better quality".
Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem said the Greek government had a right to put its own "stamp" on the bailout programme.
"The new government is much more aggressive on taxes and corruption, and these are excellent things," he told Dutch radio.
"But the Greek government is perhaps too optimistic about the speed with which they can boost tax revenues."
The ferry company, which runs services from Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth, was given the grant to help it comply with new EU regulations.
The grant will be used to fit "scrubber systems" on the exhausts of three of its ships to reduce sulphur emissions.
A company spokesman said it was "a welcome contribution" but only covered about 8% of the total cost.
Three of the company's ferries have already had the modifications, which are an alternative to converting them to use more expensive marine diesel.
The regulations on sulphur pollution came into force in January.
They are now to ballot members on taking industrial action short of a strike.
Health Minister Simon Hamilton said the majority of health care workers, including nurses, would receive a one-off payment.
The 1% increase would equate to about £300 for most.
The RCN has said the increase should be added to salaries as has been the case in other parts of the UK.
It said nurses in Northern Ireland are worse off than their counterparts in England and Scotland.
However, the health minister has said it is a fair deal.
Following Monday's meeting, Janice Smyth, director of the Royal College of Nursing in Northern Ireland, said: "Board members considered the imposed pay award, the manner in which the Minister made this announcement and the tone of the announcement.
"They have considered the views and opinions expressed by members who contacted the RCN over the weekend, and taken account of the detail of the Minister's announcement."
She added: "Today, members of the RCN Northern Ireland board voted unanimously to consult RCN council seeking authorisation to ballot RCN members in Northern Ireland in relation to the imposed pay award announced by the minister and taking industrial action short of strike action."
For the health minister this is about the best allocation of scarce resources, for nursing unions it's about fairness and recognition of hard working health care staff.
The pay settlement announced by the minister last Friday afternoon falls far short of what the unions wanted.
It sets out a 1% rise for the 60% of health care staff who are at the top of their pay band.
That rise is non-consolidated, which means it is effectively a one-off bonus which won't necessarily be added into next year's pay.
The 1% payment will equate to around £300 for most, with a maximum of £985.
The other 40% of staff who aren't at the top of their pay band, will get their normal annual incremental rise.
This will on average be 3.7% rise which will equate to a minimum of £1,588.
The unions want the 1% rise to be consolidated, meaning it would increase annual salaries and wouldn't be a one off payment. This has been the case in Scotland.
However, Mr Hamilton said his officials had sought to engage with union leaders on a 2015-16 settlement since 4 January 2015.
"I would have preferred an agreed settlement but when I met recently with trade union representatives they unfortunately remained unwilling to move beyond seeking to reopen last year's settlement despite it having being paid into people's accounts many months ago and with their union colleagues across the water having moved ahead and focused on 2015-16," he said.
"The pay demands made by the trade unions would cost my department's budget close to £40m and are simply unaffordable in current circumstances."
The RCN had already decided to ballot members on industrial action short of a strike later this month.
In her resignation letter she said her decision would enable her party to have a "real discussion" about its future.
Senior party members had "questioned my place in this new phase", she said.
Earlier, the 56-year-old said some Labour MPs were "dinosaurs" who failed to see "Scotland has changed forever".
Ms Lamont had wanted more autonomy for the party in Scotland and significant new powers for the Scottish Parliament.
But in an interview with the Daily Record she accused Westminster colleagues of treating Scotland like a "branch office".
Labour has 41 MPs in Scotland who will fight for their Westminster seats at next May's General Election. The party also has 38 MSPs in Edinburgh's Holyrood parliament and they will seek re-election in 2016.
In her resignation letter to Scottish Labour chairman Jamie Glackin Ms Lamont said the referendum had "opened a new chapter in the debate about the future of the Scottish Labour Party".
She added: "In order that we can have the real discussion about how we take Scottish Labour forward, I believe it would be best if I took myself out of the equation and stepped down as leader."
She described Labour's challenge in Scotland as "serious", but added "I strongly believe that the Labour Party is not only our best chance of achieving a better, fairer Scotland, it's our only chance".
There are two versions of this story. In one version, Scottish Labour's departing leader, Johann Lamont, accuses her Westminster colleagues - and, by implication, Ed Miliband - of undermining her and failing to grasp how much Scotland has changed. She says some of her MP colleagues are "dinosaurs".
The alternative version is that Johann Lamont wasn't up to the job - that she failed to counter the SNP, that she failed to modernise the party sufficiently to cope with a new Scotland where people are no longer prepared to back Labour as a duty, that she failed to attract new talent who might freshen up the party's portrait for the electorate in 2016, when Holyrood goes to the polls.
Reacting to news of the resignation, SNP deputy leader Nicola Sturgeon said that Ms Lamont "carries my personal best wishes".
But she added: "There is no question that her shock resignation reveals Labour to be in complete meltdown in Scotland."
Ms Sturgeon said: "The scale of the infighting between Scottish Labour and Labour at Westminster is exposed for all to see."
The timetable for choosing a new leader will be set out soon.
In the meantime, deputy leader Anas Sarwar is in charge and an MSP will be chosen to stand in for Ms Lamont at Holyrood.
Whoever replaces her will become Scottish Labour's seventh leader since the Scottish Parliament was established 15 years ago.
Ms Lamont, a former English teacher who joined the Labour Party as a teenager, has represented the Glasgow Pollok constituency at Holyrood since 1999.
She took over as the party's Scottish leader in the aftermath of the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, when Labour suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the SNP.
In the weeks after the independence referendum, she said she wanted to lead Labour to victory in the next Holyrood election in 2016 and become first minister.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said she deserved "significant credit" for the successful "No" vote in the Scottish referendum campaign.
He added: "She campaigned the length and breadth of Scotland making the case for social justice within the United Kingdom.
"She has led the Scottish Labour Party with determination. I know she will continue to serve her constituents.
"Having elected a new leader, I believe the party will show the same will and determination it did in the referendum campaign to help us to victory in the general election of 2015 and the Scottish elections of 2016."
Former prime minister Gordon Brown has constantly been linked to the job, as has fellow MP Jim Murphy, who also played a prominent role in the referendum campaign.
Mr Brown said he was sorry to hear that Ms Lamont had resigned.
He added; "She brought determination, compassion and a down-to-earth approach to the leadership and deserves great credit for taking on the challenge after 2011.
"I wish her well in the future."
Senior Labour sources have indicated that both the former Prime minister, Gordon Brown and the former Scottish Secretary , Jim Murphy, will be approached to see if they are willing to lead the Labour Party in Scotland.
If the two men refuse another scenario being canvassed is for a joint ticket between the MP Anas Sarwar and the MSP Kezia Dugdale.
Mr Sarwar would be the leader and would seek to improve relations between Westminster and Holyrood. Ms Dugdale would lead the group at Holyrood. One Labour source described this as the "ideal option".
Others believe Mr Murphy should be encouraged to stand. One figure said that if "Jim doesn't stand it will be a disaster", but added he believed the shadow cabinet member could be persuaded.
The science papers disappeared from Penglais school in Aberystwyth in August.
It is believed they were in a courier delivery van which was stolen from outside a depot near Cardiff.
The teenagers were awarded their projected scores, and the school said no pupils had been disadvantaged.
Year 10 pupils will receive their actual grades, while Year 11 will only have their marks changed if they have done better than the grade they have been given.
A spokeswoman for the school said: "It's a relief, parents were concerned but it was not [the courier's] fault or ours."
She added: "The papers had been delivered to their destination but we don't know what happened from there.
"I was told by the exam board that a van had been stolen with a number of parcels including the papers, which were of no use to anybody else."
A WJEC spokesman said: 'Unfortunately, a courier service failed to deliver the scripts securely from Penglais school to the examiner.
"WJEC is unable to comment on specific details regarding such cases."
Aviva has called for a new process that would force victims to put their claims directly to the insurer of the driver who caused the crash.
It suggests that the system would cut out middlemen who inflate the cost of claims.
However, one legal group said such a change would leave victims vulnerable.
"Putting the injured person entirely in the hands of the guilty party's insurer would create a profound conflict of interest," said the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
"Independent advice is key to preventing such a conflict and ensuring a fair outcome for the injured person."
Whiplash claims are a major factor behind the rapid rise in the price of motor cover. They account for 80% of injury claims, and most go through lawyers who have been charging sizeable fees, Aviva said.
Costs can rise even further as a result of referral fees paid by lawyers and claims management firms to breakdown firms, brokers and the insurers themselves - in exchange for providing information about accident victims.
Aviva suggested that all this accounted for £118 of a typical motor insurance premium.
The government has already given notice that it will ban referral fees and limit legal fees, but Aviva believes the cost could be cut further by putting a claim first to the "at fault" insurer.
The victims should then receive independent clinical advice and there should be a standard tariff of damages focused on care, rather than cash payments, according to Aviva.
Some 550,000 whiplash claims are made each year. Aviva estimates that up to 300,000 cases could be dealt with under its proposed system.
"Our primary concerns are that injured parties receive care and compensation as quickly as possible, and that all motorists benefit from a reduction in the excessive costs that have built up in claims over the past few years," said Dominic Clayden, claims director at Aviva. | The government is considering reducing child tax credits for millions of working families as part of its £12bn welfare cuts, the BBC understands.

Chris Grayling was giving evidence to House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee where he dismissed the accuracy of TfL's estimate.
Last month the government backed building a third runway at Heathrow.
The Airports Commission estimated transport improvements would be £5bn.
But TfL responded to the commission's recommendations in October 2015 by insisting that figure "underestimates the actual cost by £10 to £15bn".
Mr Grayling said: "It's ludicrous, to be honest. I do not see where £15bn can come from if you look at what we're actually seeking to deliver around Heathrow Airport.
"It feels to me like somebody has taken every possible transport improvement in the whole of metropolitan London and thrown it into the mix, and probably funding a large chunk of Crossrail 2 out of it as well.
"I'm baffled as to where TfL manages to get a £15bn figure from because I don't know what you'd spend the money on."
The transport secretary said the cost of the runway crossing the M25 will be met "directly by the airport" while plans for rail links such as HS2, Crossrail and an improved London Underground Piccadilly line were already happening.
Heathrow would make a "financial contribution" towards further proposals to create rail links between the airport and the lines to Reading and Waterloo, Mr Grayling said.
The transport secretary added: "It will be a quantum step forward in public transport access to Heathrow.
"It will become by far the best connected airport in the country if you look at the different rail and Underground access it will have.
"I'm very satisfied that there is a very bold, comprehensive plan to deliver all that and I understand how it's going to be funded."
A TfL spokesman responded to the transport secretary's comments saying Heathrow expansion would "significantly increase demand for access to the airport".
He added: "Our expert analysis indicates approximately £15bn more investment will be needed beyond what is already committed and the key component of this is a new southern rail link from Waterloo to Heathrow.
"Thus far, the government have given no commitments to deliver this new rail link, despite the Airport's Commissions recommendation to do so and, without such a commitment, the aspirations for no increase in road traffic are not credible."
Particles called D-mesons seem to decay slightly differently from their antiparticles, LHCb physicist Matthew Charles told the HCP 2011 meeting on Monday.
The result may help explain why we see so much more matter than antimatter.
The team stresses that further analysis will be needed to shore up the result.
At the moment, they are claiming a statistical certainty of "3.5 sigma" - suggesting that there is less than a 0.05% chance that the result they see is down to chance.
The team has nearly double the amount of data that they have analysed so far, so time will tell whether the result reaches the "five-sigma" level that qualifies it for a formal discovery.
The LHCb detector was designed to examine particles containing so-called beauty quarks, watching them decay through time after high-energy collisions of other fundamental particles.
The LHCb Collaboration was looking at decays of particles called D-mesons, which contain what are known as charmed-quarks, which can in turn decay into kaons and pions.
LHCb, one of the six separate experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, is particularly suited for examining what is called "charge-parity violation" - slight differences in behaviour if a given particle is swapped for its antimatter counterpart (changing its charge) and turned around one of its axes (changing its parity).
Our best understanding of physics so far, called the Standard Model, suggests that the complicated cascades of decay of D-mesons into other particles should be very nearly the same - within less than 0.1% - as a similar chain of antimatter decays.
Other experiments, notably at the Fermi National Accelerator facility in the US, have not definitively found a notable difference between the two kinds of decay of D-mesons.
But the LHCb team is reporting a difference of about 0.8% - a significant difference that, if true, could herald the first "new physics" to be found at the LHC.
"Our result is more significant because our precision is improved - somewhat more precise than all of the previous results put together," Dr Charles told BBC News.
Spotting such a difference in the behaviour of matter and antimatter particles may also finally help explain why our Universe is overwhelmingly made of matter.
"Certainly this kind of effect, a new source of CP violation, could be a manifestation of the physics which drives the matter - antimatter asymmetry," Dr Charles explained.
However, he stressed there are "many steps in the chain" between confirming the collaboration's experimental result, and resolving the theory to accommodate it.
"This result is a hint of something interesting and if it bears out, it will mean that, at a minimum, our current theoretical understanding needs improving," Dr Charles said.
"It's exactly the sort of thing for which the LHC was originally built."

Germany has taken in more than a million asylum seekers this year, far more than any other European country.
Europe's response to the migration crisis has been criticised by the outgoing head of the UN refugee agency.
Antonio Guterres told the BBC that the EU had been and continued to be "totally unprepared" for the arrival of refugees and "unable to put its act together".
Migration to Europe in graphics
Migrants offered 'bad weather discounts'
The migrants reaching Europe by land
More than one million refugees and migrants have reached Europe by sea since the start of 2015, according to the UNHCR. About half are from Syria.
Germany has been the destination of choice for many of those arriving by sea, and it has also attracted large numbers of migrants from Balkan states.
In her New Year's address to be broadcast on Thursday evening, Mrs Merkel acknowledges that the past year has been challenging but she repeats a message she has used on several occasions: "Wir schaffen es" - we can do it.
She warns that integrating the new arrivals will take "time, strength and money", according to a pre-released text of the speech recorded on Wednesday.
"I am convinced that if we tackle the huge task posed by the influx and integration of so many people in the right way today, then this will represent an opportunity for us tomorrow."
The chancellor does not specifically mention Pegida, which has held large "anti-Islamisation" rallies in Germany, but urges Germans not to follow "those with coldness, or even hate in their hearts, and who claim the right to be called German for themselves alone and seek to marginalise others".
The migrant crisis has strained relations between EU member states, with some countries introducing temporary border controls despite the bloc's principle of passport-free movement.
Criticising the EU's response, Mr Guterres - who is stepping down as UN High Commissioner for Refugees after 10 years - said divisions in Europe meant countries had failed to act.
"For the first time, in meaningful numbers, refugees and other migrants came to Europe - and Europe was totally unprepared for that," he said.
"But not only it was unprepared then, it is still unprepared today. It was unable to put its act together."
Instead, he said, countries had served their own interests - discouraging migrants from entering their borders by introducing increasingly harsh policies.
Some states such as Hungary, Austria and Slovenia have resorted to building fences along their borders to manage the arrivals of thousands of migrants.
Meanwhile, a Danish government proposal to seize assets of asylum-seekers to help fund their stay has drawn sharp criticism.
Shannon was nine years old when she disappeared in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, in February 2008.
She was found 24 days later under a bed at Michael Donovan's nearby home after a police operation costing £3.2m.
Donovan and Shannon's mother Karen Matthews were later jailed for eight years for kidnap, false imprisonment and perverting the course of justice.
Smith will star as Julie, a member of a Dewsbury residents and tenants association supporting the search to find Shannon.
"The themes of faith and trust in human nature, and the way the whole community came together, really inspired me," said Smith.
The programme plans to focus on the spirit and determination of a group of women who brought the community together to try to find Shannon, according to the BBC.
The abduction of Shannon is not to be portrayed in the film and Karen Matthews is not the central character.
She disappeared after a swimming trip with her school on 19 February 2008.
Twenty-four days later she was found alive under a bed in Batley Carr, less than a mile from her home.
This is how events unfolded
The trial at Leeds Crown Court heard her mother and Donovan kept Shannon "drugged, subdued and hidden from the public" so they could claim £50,000 in reward money.

The local council have said the display violates zoning laws, and local religious groups have denounced it.
The Cincinnati couple is seeking donations to keep the display alive.
Construction of the display and the controversy has been documented on a Facebook page, managed by the couple.
A description of the display on that page describes it as "the worlds first Zombie nativity scene" and "a wonderful piece of artwork", before stating "we are not atheist".
The couple claims that they were denied a zoning permit for the structure and, according to the New York Times could face a fine of $500 (£334) per day.
Rodrigo Londono Echeverri, known as Timochenko, said the decision showed the Farc's commitment to scaling down the conflict with the Colombian army.
The left-wing group and the Colombian government have been engaged in peace talks for nearly three years.
Both sides say they are expecting to sign an agreement in March.
Some 220,000 people are estimated to have been killed since the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia launched its armed struggle in 1964.
Peace talks were launched in the Cuban capital, Havana, in November 2012.
The aim is for the rebels to give up their armed struggle and join the legal political process.
Timochenko's announcement came in a tweet to Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos.
There has been agreement on four broad points on the agenda: the political participation of the rebels, land rights, drug trafficking, and most recently, transitional justice.
Transitional justice - how rebels who have committed crimes will be punished - had been considered one of the thorniest issues on the agenda.
When the two sides announced a deal on the issue on 23 September, President Santos flew to Cuba.
The president shook hands with Timochenko for the first time. He also set a deadline of six months, until 23 March 2016, for the signing of a final peace agreement.
The rebels have said they would like to sign a peace deal even before that date.
But both sides are still working on a number of issues and the implementation of the agreement.
A final deal will need to be approved by the Colombian people in a referendum.
Last month, Mr Santos announced he was willing to join the Farc in a bilateral ceasefire from 1 January 2016 if there is significant progress in the negotiations.
The rebels have already declared a truce.
Mr Santos has also suspended radio and television campaigns to encourage the rebels to leave the Farc, in what he described as a goodwill gesture.
Demobilisation campaigns would usually be reinforced in the weeks leading to Christmas.
Taylor, 25, featured in the third Test against Pakistan - his first cap since playing against South Africa in 2012.
"It was frustrating. The phone calls I had thinking I had been picked for a tour and it was 'no, sorry James you haven't been picked again', he said.
"But I used it as a positive. I tried to use it as kick up the backside."
The Nottinghamshire batsman, who was dropped after averaging 16 in his first two Tests in 2012, scored 76 in the first innings of his Test return in November.
He has also been selected to tour South Africa. later this month.
Taylor paid tribute to the staff and fellow players at Trent Bridge for helping him earn his latest call-up, having averaged 49.55 for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship this summer, including a career-best 291 against Sussex.
"Nottinghamshire is where I've had to score my runs and I've done that," Taylor told BBC East Midlands Today.
"I owe a lot to the coaching staff and players that have helped me along the way."
Welsh goalkeeper Rhys Taylor, 25, and defender Scott Barrow, 26, have both signed from Macclesfield.
Striker Lenell John-Lewis, 26, joins County from Grimsby Town on a two-year deal.
"All three players have been excited by our plans, and about the type of players we are planning to bring in," said Butcher.
Fifteen players have left the club since Butcher took over as manager in April.
The former England captain says talks are "progressing to an advanced" with other targets and he hopes to announce a couple more additions next week.
John-Lewis scored 18 goals for Grimsby in 48 appearance in 2014-15, including the Mariners' goal in their Conference play-off final defeat against Bristol Rovers at Wembley.
Butcher told the County website: "I watched Lenell play [at Wembley]... he's a player who has been impressive all season, he's scored a good number of goals and has great energy levels.
"He works hard, is strong on the ball and can lead the line well. He gets goals and that's what we're after... and he makes goals for other players, I'm really excited by him."
Former Wales Under-21 Taylor, who started his career in Chelsea's youth side, kept 18 clean sheets in 46 matches for Macclesfield last season.
Butcher hopes the Neath-born goalkeeper will provide strong competition for former Peterborough shot stopper Joe Day.
"We have two quality keepers with Joe Day already here. There should be a really good contest between the two for the number one position," said the former Coventry and Sunderland manager.
"I always want excellent competition and camaraderie between the keepers. It means the keepers need to be on their toes all the time, they need to stay on their game all season, I have the feeling it will be a fascinating contest between the pair."
Fellow Welshman Barrow has also left the Silkmen for Newport.
"Scott is a very good defender who is comfortable on the ball," said Butcher.
"He's got a sweet left foot and scored a couple of great goals last season.
"He's a hard working lad who just wants to play."
Resham Khan and Jameel Muhktar were attacked on 21 June at traffic lights in Beckton, east London.
The cousins had been celebrating Ms Khan's 21st birthday before the attack.
Both suffered severe burns to the face and body and Mr Muhktar, 37, was placed in an induced coma. No arrests have been made, police said.
Both continue to be treated in hospital. Ms Khan has damage to her left eye and required two skin grafts.
Mr Muhktar, who has since been brought out of his coma, has burns across his body arms, legs, back, neck and the right side of his face as well as damage to his right eye.
On social media, Ms Khan said: "I'm devastated. I keep wondering if my life will ever be the same. Acid attacks in the UK are unheard of for me.
"The pain was excruciating. I was struggling to close the window. My cousin struggled to get us away. I saw my clothes burn away in front of me."
According to police the two had stopped at traffic lights during their drive when the man approached them and threw the toxic substance at Ms Khan through the window.
The attacker then circled around the car and threw more of the acid at Mr Muhktar, before eventually fleeing the scene.
In 2016-17, there were 398 victims of crimes involving "noxious or corrosive" substances, such as acid. This compares with 146 in 2012-13.
Violence with injury is the main offence to have seen a rise. In each of 2015-16 and 2016-17, there were 191 victims, compared with 67 in 2014-15.
Noxious or corrosive substances have also been used in five rapes between April 2012 and March 2017.
Not all these incidents will involve acid. Because of the way the Metropolitan Police recorded the data, the figures show all victims of crimes where any "noxious or corrosive" substances were used.
The force released the figures under the Freedom of Information Act.
Realistically, Bell, 24, is unlikely to achieve a career total of more than 4,300 winning mounts, but just like the champion jump jockey, her roots are proudly held in Northern Ireland, and her racing life also began under the watchful eye of Irish trainer Jim Bolger.
Plus, confusion over first names applies to both.
While McCoy has been Tony and Anthony as well as his preferred AP, the leading female in the flat jockeys' championship appears on racecards as Samantha, but answers to Sammy-Jo.
And that name has certainly been ringing around flat racing's northern circuit - and beyond - amongst an ever-growing band of admirers, which would appear to include the recently-retired McCoy himself.
"I was nominated for a sportswoman of the month award in which the public can vote," she said, "and I nearly fell off my horse when I saw a tweet from AP on Twitter encouraging people to support me.
"He's just an amazing man, so focused, and such a good role model for me and so many other people in racing. It was a real thrill that he'd thought of me."
Though missing out on both that honour - to Team GB hockey goalkeeper Maddie Hinch - and on being named Stobart Jockey of the Month for June, when Ryan Moore and Frankie Dettori were her only opponents, she's certainly been making a big noise.
Based with the prolific string of trainer Richard Fahey, located in the Malton racing centre, North Yorkshire, Bell chalked up an impressive 11 successes during June and, midway through the year, has more than doubled her combined winning totals for the two previous seasons.
It's hard not to have noticed how much more honed she looks during races, and stronger in the saddle, displaying what was described to me by one fan as a much greater 'killer instinct'.
Fahey, meanwhile, the provider of most - but not all - of her mounts, has also been impressed with her grasp of the form book, ability to unravel how races are likely to pan out, and then to pass on feedback.
All in all, the five-foot-tall daughter of point-to-point rider Jacqueline McCullough is living the life she's been dreaming about since enjoying a "perfect childhood" in the countryside close to Ballyclare, County Antrim.
Had she been asked at school to write an essay about her ideal early adult life, she believes it would have included details very similar to those actually happening today.
That reality is, of course, unfolding in the supposed 'man's world' of British horseracing where female jockeys, with honourable exceptions, have generally not managed to break down prevailing prejudices against their sex.
Three-time Group One race winner Hayley Turner and 2012 champion apprentice Amy Ryan - along with Nina Carberry, Katie Walsh and Lizzie Kelly over jumps - are among those to have enjoyed headline-grabbing success in recent seasons, but, on the whole, it's been a struggle.
As we chatted at Pontefract races - where Bell was lining up in one race having already ridden out eight of Fahey's horses on the gallops - she considered the age-old question of women in racing.
"I think really that if you are good enough you will probably get the rides, that's the long and short of it," she said. "I've got more rides this year because I've improved so maybe I didn't deserve many more rides before.
"I think if you're as good as everybody else, there's no problem with whether you're a girl or a boy.
"Probably girls will never be as strong as boys, but sometimes strength isn't really everything; there's putting your horse in the right place in the race and things like that.
"Maybe we take a little bit longer to get strong. I'm 24 now, and when I was 18 I didn't ride like this, so I've had to wait to get my chances."
And Bell believes there's no reason why a female jockey in Britain shouldn't reach the very top, like Julie Krone in the US or Emma-Jayne Wilson in Canada, not least because of the numbers that are choosing racing as a career.
"I suppose initially it was a man's world, but now, especially with the stable staff and stuff like that, there's probably more girls than boys working in racing," she explained.
"There's definitely more than one girl riding every day, there's always a few of us here and there. Anything's possible in the future."
For the present, life revolves around a mixture of riding horses, watching friends ride theirs and talking about each other's experiences while socialising.
Having reached her 20-win target for the year by midsummer, new ambitions centre on a tussle with fellow jockey Cam Hardie at the head of the apprentices' table, and the hope of remaining the championship season's top female rider.
Her mother Jacqueline, meanwhile, has been telling the daughter who's so enjoying life in racing's fast lane to slow down, not, it has to be said, in the saddle but behind the wheel.
The rush gained from a recent winning afternoon at Hamilton didn't vanish on leaving the Scottish track, and a flash from a speed camera on the way home added three penalty points to her licence.
Sammy-Jo Bell is definitely a woman in a hurry.
But what should you eat when you've been diagnosed and are undergoing treatment?
It is not, as many might think, about eating organic, avoiding red meat or even taking supplements.
Cancer and the various ways of treating it have a profound effect on your body. As part of that, the sense of taste, smell and appetite can be dramatically altered.
For some patients, all food tastes of metal or their daily cup of tea or coffee becomes a complete turn off.
For others it can be even worse; they find their mouths dry up or ulcers form making eating very painful.
Bitterness is the taste most affected by cancer and its treatment, meaning familiar food and drink often becomes unpalatable.
Taste changes may be due to a number of other factors including damage or desensitisation of taste buds or interference with a patient's sense of smell, which is intricately linked to taste.
And a metallic taste is experienced when chemotherapy drugs get into saliva and the chemicals come into contact with taste buds.
A common side effect patients report is going off tea and coffee.
Dr Clare Shaw, consultant dietician at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, has edited The Royal Marsden Cancer Cookbook, which contains recipes and tips intended to help cancer patients overcome such difficulties, and offers advice on how to adapt recipes - perhaps adding a dash of Tabasco sauce or chilli powder to alter the flavour.
As well as recipes, it has advice on exactly what kinds of foods might be palatable - and provide the right balance of nutrients - for people during and after treatment experiencing various side effects - ie dry mouth, nausea or taste change.
Half of the royalties from the book will go to the hospital's charity.
Emma was diagnosed with breast cancer just after her 40th birthday. She then underwent six rounds of chemotherapy, a lumpectomy and radiotherapy.
The cycles of chemotherapy - and other medication she had to take - had dramatic effects on her appetite.
Emma says: "I was prescribed steroids to take on the day before, the day of and the day after having chemo. I woke up at 2am after the first dose and ate several huge slices of cake. This continued for about 20 hours a day for three days during each cycle. My appetite was insatiable."
But the chemo also affected her sense of taste which "totally disappeared" on the second day after the first dose.
Apart from the three days of steroid treatment, Emma saw her appetite plummet during the rest of the treatment cycle.
"I only craved salty foods - even though I couldn't taste. I ate lots of salty mashed potato and gravy."
Those patients who lose their appetite are likely to lose weight - but the same can be true even if a high calorie diet is being eaten, due to changes in the body.
That's because cancers can produce molecules that change the way the body functions.
For example, cytokines are proteins normally produced by the immune system to help your body fight infections. Cancers are known to produce these in large numbers. This abnormal release leads can cause weight loss by making the body break down proteins and fat.
High energy foods can help people to maintain their weight, but Dr Shaw notes that it is sometimes hard to know what to eat.
Many of her patients eat a lot of soup.
"It's liquid, it goes down easily, it's a prime choice. But, as a dietician, I will often talk to them about the fact that soup is often low in energy, and it's often low in protein.
"So people might be using it as a replacement for a meal, but it's not providing the same nourishment as a meal.'
Other high energy meals such as roasted chicken, or more nutritious soups, are advised.
People being treated for cancer often find it difficult to eat due to a sore or dry mouth or throat and difficulty swallowing whilst undergoing treatment
That's because the digestive system is lined with a soft layer of tissue called the mucous membrane. This tissue is susceptible to damage during some cancer treatments such as chemotherapy,
The resulting inflammation and ulceration is called mucositis. Oral mucositis leads to the pain and difficulty of swallowing.
Emma says that was a real problem.
"My nurse told me the sore mouth was a possible side effect so I was sort of expecting it but it was far worse than I imagined.
"My oncologist suggested fresh pineapple to help soothe and cleanse my mouth. It was the only thing I really ate that felt like it was giving me any goodness."
Recipes for soft or moist foods, such as elderflower jelly or pea and pancetta risotto, are also recommended in the cookbook.
Keeping up with the changes and challenges of eating is very emotional for many. "I loved food, eating and cooking and not to be able to derive any pleasure from food was really hard," said Emma.
"I really missed eating and enjoying simple things like going out for lunch."
The advice from Dr Shaw and other leading cancer charities is to be flexible with meals and to eat what you can when you can.
Most people fully recover their sense of taste - including Emma.
"About three weeks after my final chemo, my taste came back over a couple of weeks. Such a happy feeling!"
Kathryn Smith said Matthew Rigby joined her in the kitchen of a family flat in Burton "a couple of moments" after she left him and Ayeeshia Jane Smith alone.
They then heard the child "gasp" and found her unresponsive in her cot.
Ms Smith - who denies murder along with Mr Rigby - claimed child benefit after the death, jurors heard.
More updates on this and other stories in Birmingham and the Black Country
The 23-year-old, from Sandfield Road in Nottingham, failed to alert authorities about her daughter's death in May 2014 and continued to claim for six months, Birmingham Crown Court was told.
Describing the day Ayeeshia - known as AJ - died, Ms Smith said she and Mr Rigby, who have now separated, had been potty training her after a "perfect" visit with the child's grandparents.
She went to get her some juice before 22-year-old Mr Rigby, of Sloan Drive in Nottingham, joined her in the kitchen.
She said she then heard the child "gasp".
"Me and Matt were in the kitchen and we looked at each other, so I knew he'd heard it," she said.
They found Ayeeshia on her side in her cot.
Ms Smith said her daughter was "staring out the window and she looked all pale and her lips were blue and her mouth was bubbling".
The couple attempted to resuscitate her and Ms Smith called paramedics, but despite medical help the child later died.
Ayeeshia's heart had been torn by a forceful stamp, the court has heard.
Ms Smith was also asked about an incident where she called police in April 2014 and urged officers to take Mr Rigby away, saying she was "scared" of him and did not want him near her daughter because he couldn't control his temper.
She told the court she later retracted that statement because she "might have overreacted".
Jurors heard her admit that she smoked cannabis two or three times a week, but not in the house.
She also said she knew it was wrong to keep the drug in a Tommee Tippee cup, but it was broken and was never used to feed Ayeeshia.
When asked about a neighbour hearing a child shout "Stop mummy, stop daddy", Ms Smith said Ayeeshia did not have the necessary speech to say that and knew Mr Rigby as "Matt-Matt".
In addition to the murder charger, the pair also deny causing or allowing the death of a child and cruelty.
The trial continues.
Stephen Yarborough was run over by the mobile starting stalls from which horses start running, operators RaceTech confirmed and police said he died at the scene.
The incident happened before the race due off at 15:30 BST and racing was abandoned for the day.
"We were deeply saddened to hear our friend and colleague Stephen Yarborough passed away today," RaceTech said.
John Bozza, RaceTech chief executive, added: "Our thoughts are very much with Stephen's family, close friends and his colleagues at this very sad time.
"Stephen was an experienced and popular member of the team; he will be hugely missed by everyone. We are doing all we can to support Stephen's family and the investigation at this stage."
Haydock general manager Jason Fildes said: "This is the worst possible news. I'm very upset for Stephen's family and friends and there is now real sadness among the whole team. We saw Stephen regularly in his role working for RaceTech. It's so tragic this has happened."
A Merseyside police statement said: "Emergency services were called at around 15.40 to reports that a starting stall coupled up to a tractor had been in collision with a male employee on the racecourse.
"The man, who was aged in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene. Next of kin have been informed."
The Professional Jockeys' Association said riders would wear black armbands at meetings on Saturday.
British Horseracing Authority (BHA) chief executive Nick Rust said: "British racing will come together in grief at this incident - we are one family and today we have lost one of our own."
A statement from the BHA said: "The stewards held an enquiry following a report from the starters that a member of the stalls team had been injured prior to race four.
"They interviewed both starters and the clerk of the course, who was representing the racecourse executive.
"The clerk of the course stated that the racecourse executive had taken the decision to abandon the remainder of the day's racing as the police had been informed of the accident and were due to arrive to conduct their enquiries."
Racing will go ahead as planned on Saturday, a spokesman for Haydock said.

Stalls handlers are some of the most important people at Flat racing fixtures because they are responsible for loading the runners into the stalls before each start.
The same units of stalls are used for each race and they are towed around to the various starts depending on the distance of each race.
The talks concern disputes on flags, parades, the legacy of the Troubles and welfare reform.
The employment minister warned any deal must be all inclusive and not just be on corporation tax and welfare reform.
Speaking on the Sunday Politics programme, Mr Farry said there was a lot of work still to be done.
"You have to have a comprehensive agreement. Simply just picking off one or two issues and banking the progress and still having a lot of tension in the system next year isn't going to help us," he said.
"Relationships have deteriorated a lot over the past number of years.
"We have to start building trust and partnership between all the parties on the executive - without that we're simply just kicking the can down the road and I don't think that's in anyone's interest."
Prime Minister David Cameron and Taoiseach Enda Kenny are expected in Belfast this week in an attempt to broker a solution.
Finance Minister Simon Hamilton told the BBC's Inside Business programme that both prime ministers must be "properly engaged" in the talks for a deal to be reached.
The DUP MLA said all the five parties had to made "significant progress" between now and Christmas.
Chancellor George Osborne has said devolving corporation tax powers to Stormont would depend on the outcome of the talks.
Unlike the rest of the UK, reductions to the welfare budget have not been implemented in Northern Ireland.
Sinn Féin remains resolutely opposed to introducing the cuts, while the DUP maintains that the consequent reduction in Northern Ireland's block grant means that there is no choice. The shortfall is estimated at £200m.
A previous effort to find new mechanisms to deal with the flying of flags, parades, and the legacy of the conflict ended without agreement last Christmas.
The New Zealander, 31, submitted an early guilty plea to the Rugby Football League for his part in the clash.
Flower faces a tribunal on Tuesday, and is facing a minimum eight-game ban.
Flower punched Hohaia to the ground and then landed a second blow to the face of his opponent as he lay on the pitch.

Police are investigating the incident, but have not received any complaints from members of the public.
However, they will continue to liaise with relevant parties - including the Rugby Football League, the Criminal Prosecution Service and St Helens - before deciding on a course of action.
Hohaia had been charged with a grade B offence of striking, which normally carries a ban of one or two matches,
But because of his previous record, Hohaia was entitled to submit an early guilty plea to receive the smallest sanction and avoid a hearing.
"Lance Hohaia has accepted the EGP and will miss the first warm-up game of next season," a St Helens spokesman said.
Saints have also announced that forward Richard Beaumont has left the club - he failed to play a game after joining on a two-year deal from Hull KR.
The woman, who wore a pink top and black jacket, dragged the man away after he attacked Robert Hart in Heaton Park at about 21:15 BST on 7 June.
Mr Hart, 26, of Macclesfield, Cheshire, died in hospital four days later.
An aerial photograph, which shows the area where Mr Hart was assaulted, has been released to urge people to send pictures and video footage to police.
Mr Hart was attacked before Snoop Dogg was due to go on stage, his girlfriend Gemma Parry said.
Police described the woman as blonde with shoulder-length hair about 5ft 7in tall and approximately 20 to 23 years old.
She was with a man about 6ft 1in who was wearing a dark jacket.
Det Insp Richard Eales said: "Several witnesses have pointed towards the fact that this man was at the festival with other people, notably the girl we have described.
"There is a strong chance that the person we are looking for, or the people he was with, could be in the background of those pictures or footage and that may prove invaluable to our investigation. "
A £20,000 reward is being offered by the festival organiser to help catch the man responsible for Mr Hart's death.
The search has been suspended after the rescue helicopter was called to a separate avalanche in Lochaber.
Rachel Slater, 24, and Tim Newton, 27, had been climbing over the weekend but were reported missing on Monday.
Attempts to locate the couple had been suspended on Tuesday because of treacherous weather conditions.
The helicopter had resumed the search on Wednesday before being called away.
Conditions were said to have improved "significantly" but the risk of avalanche remained "considerable".
Ms Slater and Mr Newton, from Bradford in West Yorkshire, were thought to have been camping near the Charles Inglis Clark memorial hut on the north side of the mountain.
John Stevenson of the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team told BBC Scotland on Wednesday morning that the search operation was being hampered by weather conditions.
It is unlikely teams will be sent out on foot due to "considerable" risk of avalanche.
A search was called off in "atrocious" conditions on Tuesday after two mountain rescuers set off a small snowslide.
Mr Stevenson said: "There has been a lot of fresh snow so the areas we want to look at are still very unstable.
"We wouldn't like to put people in there until we get a bit of settlement in the snow conditions".
Experienced climber Ms Slater is a graduate of Manchester University and is employed as an environmental consultant near Bradford.
In a blog post, she wrote: "I've been around rocks my whole life as my parents are very keen climbers - most of my childhood was spent scrambling around at the bottom of the cliff with the occasional easy top rope."
Mr Newton, originally from Leicester, also lives in Bradford and studied physics at the universities of Manchester and Leeds, according to his Facebook profile.
Friends and fellow climbers have been posting messages on social media praising the search teams and voicing hope that the couple will be found safe.
One wrote on the UKClimbing forum: "Great, enthusiastic young climbers. Such good role models for the sport.
"I've seen them out and about in the past and follow their logbooks cos they climb routes I'd like to. I hope they are found ok. I'm crossing everything and thinking of them and the search teams."
A statement on the Lochaber MRT Facebook page on Tuesday said: "After five hours of searching, it was decided that conditions were too dangerous to continue search which was focused on Coire na Ciste and South Trident Buttress area following a possible sighting of two people fitting their description climbing in this area early Sunday afternoon."
It added: "Two of the rescue team men avalanched traversing below No 3 Gully Buttress."
Anyone who was climbing or walking in the Ben Nevis area over the weekend and saw the couple has been urged to contact police on 101.
In a statement, Ghassan Hitto said he would "continue working for the interests of the revolution".
His decision follows a leadership overhaul by the National Coalition.
Ahmed Jarba was named leader of the main opposition alliance on Saturday as Saudi-backed candidates defeated those allied with Qatar in several elections.
On Monday, Mr Jarba warned that there was a "real humanitarian disaster" in the central city of Homs and said he was prepared to offer President Bashar al-Assad a truce during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan to stop the fighting there.
As government forces continued an offensive on opposition-held districts of Homs, state media said the army had killed "terrorists" in several areas, including Bab Houd in the Old City and several outlying towns.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Bab Houd and al-Safsafa had been hit by heavy artillery and tank fire on Monday.
The UK-based activist group said troops had also captured about a fifth of the besieged northern district of Khalidiya. A government official had earlier claimed that the entire district was under army control.
A car bomb also exploded in the predominantly Alawite and Christian area of Akrama, killing at least four people, officials and activists said.
Profile: Ahmad Jarba
The violence in Homs and elsewhere in Syria has left civilians in rebel-held areas in dire need of humanitarian assistance, opposition and humanitarian activists say.
In March, Mr Hitto was tasked by the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces with forming an interim government to administer so-called "liberated" zones, co-ordinating the provision basic services and supplies.
However, Mr Hitto was mistrusted by many members of the opposition alliance, who saw him as too close to the Muslim Brotherhood and Qatar, and he has been effectively side-lined since.
The National Coalition's former president, Moaz al-Khatib, believed the creation of an interim government was premature and announced his resignation five days after Mr Hitto's appointment.
On Monday, Mr Hitto said he was standing down as prime minister after being unable to form an administration.
"I emphasise I will continue working for the interests of the revolution and towards achieving its objectives," he added.
Mr Jarba, an influential tribal figure with close links to Saudi Arabia, meanwhile said he expected advanced weapons supplied by Saudi Arabia to reach rebel fighters "soon" and that they would change the military balance in Syria.
He also said the National Coalition would not attend peace talks in Geneva planned by the US and Russia unless its military position improved.
"If we are going to go to Geneva, we have to be strong on the ground, unlike the situation now, which is weak," he told the Reuters news agency.
In a separate development on Monday, Syria's ruling Baath Party announced that it had elected a new regional command, replacing its ageing leadership, including Vice-President Farouq al-Sharaa.
State TV said the 16 members of the top decision-making body were chosen during a meeting of the party's central committee.
"The Baath Party must develop to strengthen a culture of dialogue... and deepen interaction with citizens to overcome the negative effect of the crisis," President Assad was quoted as saying.
Among the new members of the regional command are parliamentary speaker Jihad al-Laham and Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi.
During nearly five decades in power in Syria, the Baath Party has evolved from an Arab nationalist movement into a vast organisation that has infiltrated every aspect of public life.
Although a large number of low-ranking officials have publicly left the party since the start of the uprising in March 2011, its main leadership bodies have remained steadfastly loyal to Mr Assad.
The 66ft (20m) diameter hole spread across a front garden and driveway on Fontmell Close and is 33ft (10m) deep.
Hertfordshire County Council said five homes were evacuated and 20 people were taken to a centre set up at the nearby Batchwood Sports Centre.
Residents are said to have heard a crash before the huge crater appeared.
Hole opened up 'substantially overnight'
A spokesman for the fire service said it was previously aware of a small hole that was due to be filled in.
Firefighters received a call at 01:30 BST to say the hole had "opened up substantially" overnight.
A Hertfordshire County Council spokesman said: "We were informed about a hole in the footpath last week. It was inspected and barriers put around it on Monday.
"Work was scheduled to fill it in this morning. Following our inspection, there was no reason to suspect that the hole would collapse."
Heavily pregnant Gemma Bagshaw, 32, is expecting to give birth any day now and she was woken by the sound of the noise.
She and her husband Ben left their house clutching her hospital notes and bag that was packed in readiness for a trip to hospital.
"We were asleep when we were awoken by this awful rumbling sound like an earthquake," she said.
"Ben jumped out of bed and got to the window, then I heard him say 'The road has gone.
"If this doesn't bring on my labour then nothing will."
Steve Lynch, who lives nearby, told BBC journalist Tony Fisher a postman had stepped in the smaller hole.
He said: "My wife saw the local postman pulling himself pretty much out of the hole and dusting himself down... he was rolling around on the street looking quite badly injured."
Highways engineers are currently assessing the scene before the crater is filled in.
Fifty-two homes in the area were without gas, electricity and water, including residents on nearby Bridle Close.
"The return to normal is likely to take weeks and all agencies in Hertfordshire are working together to support families affected," the council spokesman said.
He added no-one had been injured and no homes were damaged.
Resuming on his overnight 67 out of Kent's 120-3, Denly extended his stay at the crease to nearly eight hours as Kent were finally bowled out for 474.
On the longest day of the year, Denly got help from wicketkeeper Adam Rouse (68) in a stand of 149 in 39 overs.
Worcestershire closed on 16-0, needing a further 383 to win on the last day.
Kent looked in danger of losing inside three days when they lost their sixth wicket shortly before lunch, when their overall lead was only 129.
Now, although still a good wicket to bat on, with Pakistan wrist spinner Yasir Shah in their line-up, Kent will have high hopes of pushing for victory in this meeting of second v third in Division Two.
Brett D'Oliveira is 10 not out. while Daryl Mitchell, with whom he has already shared two double-century opening stands this season, will resume on 6.
Denly's record-breaking innings was the highest-ever score by a Kent batsman in games against Worcestershire, beating Les Ames' 201 not out at Gillingham in 1937, and his 201 at New Road two years later.
Worcestershire all-rounder Ed Barnard told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"Attritional cricket, some might say. Obviously Denly played a terrific knock there and deserves all the credit he gets. He kept going in those conditions. He didn't look like at any point that he was going to give it away.
"But the lads rallied hard all day. We gave 100% all the time and you would expect nothing less from our bowlers. We bowled without luck at times. We could easily have bowled them out for a few less than we did.
"But they've got those runs now and it's up to us tomorrow now to go and chase them. The pitch has not done a lot. There was a bit of swing early on. It might start to go a little bit up and down. Maybe a little bit of turn for Yasir as well but hopefully not too much."
Kent batsman Joe Denly told BBC Radio Kent:
"It was great to spend so much time out there. The pitch was pretty good for batting on. The biggest challenge was probably the heat and trying to stay cool.
"I'm obviously delighted. It is probably the best I've felt for a while, probably ever. You got real rewards hitting through the line, cover drives and stuff like that. It was just about trying to bat as long as I could.
"In the circumstances, it was quite an important knock and we are in a really good position now. Our bowlers have been on fire all year so hopefully they can cause some trouble."
King Bhumibol Adulyadej died on Thursday and the crown prince wants more time to mourn his father.
Former Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanonda is standing in as regent.
Current Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha sought to reassure Thais about the succession in a TV address on Saturday, saying they should not worry.
This issue was discussed when Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn summoned the regent and Gen Prayuth for an audience, according to Gen Prayuth.
The 64-year-old crown prince "asked the people not to be confused or worry about the country's administration or even about the succession", Gen Prayuth said in his TV statement.
"He said at this time everyone is sad, he is still sad, so every side should wait until we pass this sad time."
Questions about the crown prince's capabilities have been raised in the past, although the strict lese-majeste laws prevent any open discussion of these.
Gen Prayuth took power in a military coup in 2014 which overthrew the civilian government. He has promised elections next year.
The monarchy is seen as a unifying force in Thailand at times of political upheaval and King Bhumibol, who died aged 88, was a figure revered by many Thais.
The military government has made clear that Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn will be the new king, reports the BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok, but it just isn't clear when this will happen.
The military has traditionally been intensely loyal to the monarchy.
Thailand is beginning a year of official mourning, and entertainment such as TV shows and sports events have been cancelled or toned down.
Many Thais are wearing black and mourners have continued to converge on the Grand Palace in central Bangkok to pay their respects to the late king by signing a book of condolences.
It is unclear when his cremation will take place but it is not expected until the official one-year mourning period is over.
The teenager came second on America's Got Talent in 2010 and has gone on to score two top 10 albums in the US.
Evancho told Good Morning Britain: "My reason for doing this is nothing to do with politics, it's all about the honour of performing for my country."
Mr Trump will be sworn in as the 45th US president at a ceremony later.
Evancho has previously sung for current president Barack Obama.
"I don't really see much of a difference [between Mr Trump and President Obama] because either way it's a huge honour," the singer said.
She has received a backlash from some fans - particularly those in the LGBT community - for being seen to support Mr Trump, who ran a divisive presidential campaign last year.
The 16-year-old said: "I've had all sorts of reactions, I've had negative and positive and most of the time I can't really think about the negative.
"All I need is the support from my family and friends and I'm good."
Evancho said it was "a little overwhelming" performing at Mr Trump's inauguration, but added: "It's something I kind of have to ignore, and keep my mind set on my job which is performing."
Presenter Kate Garraway asked Evancho whether she had discussed her decision to perform with her sister Juliet, who is transgender.
The singer replied: "Of course, my sister and I are best friends and we talk to each other about everything, and she supports me because she knows my reason for doing this is nothing to do with politics, it's all about the honour of performing for my country."

Mr Kassig, known as Peter Kassig before he converted to Islam, founded a humanitarian organisation to help refugees who had fled from Syria.
In interviews and letters to his family, Mr Kassig, 26, said he was driven by a "sense of purpose" and a desire to help others after serving with the US military in Iraq.
In 2012, he wrote: "The truth is sometimes I really think I would like to do something else, but at the end of the day this work is really the only thing that I have found that gives my life both meaning and direction."
Abdul-Rahman (aka Peter) Kassig
Abdul-Rahman Kassig's letters home
A native of Indiana, Mr Kassig "spent his late teens and early 20s searching for his place in the world", his parents Ed and Paula Kassig said in a statement.
He joined the US military and served as an Army Ranger in Iraq in 2007. He was given an honourable discharge from the Army for medical reasons. But on returning home "he felt called to be a peacemaker", according to his parents.
In 2010 he enrolled at Butler University in Indianapolis, where he majored in political science. Mr Kassig described how, in the wake of a brief marriage and divorce, he had needed a "game changer".
He travelled to Lebanon in 2012 during a spring break, volunteering as a medical assistant in border hospitals.
There he helped treat Palestinian refugees and, subsequently, people escaping the conflict in Syria.
During the summer of 2012, he was interviewed by CNN while working at a hospital in Tripoli, Lebanon. He told the crew: "This is what I was put here to do."
He added: "I guess I am just a hopeless romantic, and I am an idealist, and I believe in hopeless causes."
Later that year, he founded a non-governmental organisation named Special Emergency Response and Assistance (Sera), dedicated to providing humanitarian aid for the growing number of people who were fleeing Syria's civil war.
In the summer of 2013, Sera's operational base moved to Gaziantep, Turkey. Mr Kassig located and distributed food and medical supplies to the refugee camps on both sides of the Syrian border. He also provided primary trauma care as well as medical training to civilian casualties in Syria.
According to his family, he "worked closely with and befriended Syrian medical and humanitarian workers who were trying to save lives and restore hope".
The BBC's Paul Wood, who met Mr Kassig while he was on the Turkish-Syrian border, said he "always cut a slightly unworldly figure... open, honest, slightly intense, beguiled by Syria's uprising".
Mr Kassig was working with Sera when he was captured on 1 October 2013 while travelling towards to Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria.
For a year, his parents remained silent at the behest of his captors. Along with his friends inside and outside Syria, his family worked to secure his release.
Excerpt from video appeal by Ed and Paula Kassig
In a statement, his parents said their son's "journey toward Islam" had begun before he was taken captive. In the summer of 2013 he observed the month-long Ramadan fast which had a "great impact" on him.
According to his family, he converted voluntarily while sharing a cell with a devout Muslim, between October and December of the same year. He is said to have taken his faith seriously, praying five times a day and adopting the name Abdul-Rahman.
French hostage Nicholas Henin, who was held with Mr Kassig for four months, described him as "a very dedicated Muslim".
"Peter told me about how important Islam was to him, how much it helped to overcome his situation in captivity," Mr Henin told the BBC.
When the hostages received food, "Abdul-Rahman was basically sharing all of his food but looking for sweets," Mr Henin added. "He was always looking for some extra marmalade."
In a letter to his family received on 2 June, Mr Kassig wrote that he was "pretty scared to die" but said the the hardest part was "not knowing, wondering, hoping, and wondering if I should even hope at all".
He expressed his sadness at the pain his capture had caused those closest to him, adding: "If I do die, I figure that at least you and I can seek refuge and comfort in knowing that I went out as a result of trying to alleviate suffering and helping those in need.
"In terms of my faith, I pray everyday and I am not angry about my situation in that sense."
The letter ends with the words: "I love you."
The public block, in Newton Poppleford, Devon, was locked up on Monday after a local was "accosted" the day before.
Worshippers at a local church will be able to use the toilets on Sunday under supervision, the parish council said.
The long-term future of the loo is being discussed with owner East Devon District Council (EDDC).
Read more on this story as it develops throughout the day on our Local Live pages
Parish Clerk David Atkins said the bearded man involved in Sunday's episode was in his late 50s or 60s.
As a result, he said, the toilets would be closed "until further notice".
But for the St Luke's congregation, which is without a toilet, there would be special dispensation, he said.
"We will open them on Sundays, but they will be supervised by the church warden," Mr Atkins said.
"If anything untoward happens he will see it."
Parish councillors will be discussing the measures at their next meeting on Monday.
"We might have to look at installing CCTV or something like that," Mr Atkins said.
"This has put the future of the loos in jeopardy because the council might say enough is enough."
EDDC said it had contacted the council over "the issue of the toilets being used for gay sex" and was liaising with police.
A site meeting would be held "to agree any appropriate action".
"In the meantime, we understand that the parish council has closed the men's toilets until further notice - although a key will be made available for church users."
Devon and Cornwall Police said it had not received a report of the incident.
Vicar of St Luke's, the Reverend Mark Ward, said: "We have very good relations with the parish council and we welcome being given the use of a key to the toilets.
"I hope the toilets will not remain closed for the entire community because of this incident."
Speaking at a press conference in Yangon on Wednesday, the Nobel laureate said Myanmar had not made any real reforms in the last two years.
She added that high-level talks last week with senior politicians and the head of the army had achieved little.
Next week Myanmar will host a summit attended by several world leaders.
US President Barack Obama will be at the summit, the most prestigious in the country's history.
It is hardly surprising that Aung San Suu Kyi has expressed her frustration over the progress of change in Myanmar. Despite the relative openness, the military still dominates key decision-making. whether in negotiating peace with ethnic armed groups or changing the constitution.
The uniformed officers appointed by the military in parliament have refused to amend clauses in the constitution to allow Ms Suu Kyi to stand for the presidency. They hold a quarter of all the seats in both chambers.
Despite the setbacks, Ms Suu Kyi has said she will continue to push for democratic changes by means of parliamentary politics. That position was welcomed by the government when she reiterated her stance during a recent meeting with key players, including President Thein Sein and the chief of the military.
However, the decisions that have been made by parliament so far appear of more benefit to the ruling party and the military. This means that Ms Suu Kyi has little option but to convince the military to change its mentality - that could be the hardest job of her political career.
In her speech Ms Suu Kyi, who leads the National League for Democracy said: "We do think there have been times when the United States government has been overly optimistic about the reform process."
She noted however that the lack of significant reforms is "something the United States thinks about very seriously as well".
After the 2010 general election Myanmar's President Thein Sein initiated a series of reforms that resulted in the Suu Kyi-led pro-democracy opposition rejoining the political process.
Ms Suu Kyi was elected to parliament in 2012 after spending years under house arrest.
She is not the first person to criticise the slow pace of reform.
Last week the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, Yanghee Lee, told the general assembly that while progress had been achieved, there were also signs of backtracking, citing unresolved ethnic conflicts, the incarceration of political prisoners and violence in Rakhine state.
In 2012 violence broke out between Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims, killing about 200 people in Rakhine. Since then tens of thousands of people have been displaced, mostly from the minority Rohingya community.
When the Budget resolutions are voted on, there are two amendments: both of which could well attract that rare combination of Labour, SNP, minor party and dissident Tory support that is needed to overturn the government majority.
There's a cross-party amendment calling for VAT on women's sanitary products to be zero-rated, which looks likely to be pressed even though the government believes it has secured EU agreement to allow this to happen.
Then there's a Labour amendment, signed by at least a dozen Conservatives, which would, in effect, reject a European Court of Justice ruling requiring Britain to increase VAT on home insulation and energy saving products from 5% to 20%.
There's quite a cocktail of motives behind the two amendments - feminist and green arguments, to be sure; but also an anti-EU point about control of taxes in the UK, mixed in with some gleeful manoeuvring in the undeclared race to succeed David Cameron.
The third Budget-related issue is the government proposal to change the rules on Personal Independence Payments (PIPs) - the benefit which has replaced Disability Living Allowance.
A number of Tory backbenchers including David Burrowes, the architect of the recent government defeat on Sunday Trading, have been expressing concern about the impact on vulnerable people.
This measure won't be in the forthcoming Finance Bill, and the government has now promised consultation and hinted at compromise, after a nervy couple of days which saw a rather undignified blame game played out between the Treasury and the Department of Work and Pensions, and an increasingly irritated Downing Street.
Expect Labour gloating and semi-public negotiation between ministers and Conservative backbenchers, as the Budget debate unfolds. And note that the other implication of this not being a Finance Bill measure is that it could therefore run into trouble in the Lords, (who're not able to touch finance measures) as well as the Commons.
And speaking of their Lordships' House, the government has been having a pretty rough ride there; but after some fairly gruelling sessions on the Housing and Planning Bill - including a till-they-drop committee stage day which went on until nearly midnight, it looks as if the bill is back on track and should enter report stage immediately after the Easter break, just about keeping the show on the road.
The government will be reasonably well placed to deal with outstanding differences between the Lords and Commons on its remaining legislation without too much panic or pressure, before the end of the session.
But having suffered a bruising week, with six government defeats (two on the Immigration Bill, three on the Trade Union Bill and one on a move to regret the early closing of the Renewables Obligation to small solar photovoltaic installations) ministers can't contemplate their next few weeks in the Upper House with great confidence. The majorities against the government on the Trade Union Bill varied between 88 and 148 votes, which will certainly embolden the Opposition to keep resisting.
Here's my rundown of the parliamentary week ahead:
Monday
The Commons opens (2.30pm) with Communities and Local Government questions, followed by the continuation of the Budget debate.
In Westminster Hall (at 4.30pm), MPs will debate E-petition 121262 on the NHS's contract negotiations with the BMA - which has attracted 118,455 signatures. The petition accuses the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, of imposing new contracts on junior doctors, "in his endeavour to destroy the NHS and privatise healthcare in the UK".
The Government response says there will be no imposition and that the aim is to introduce a fairer, safer contract, which they can do for new staff and as contracts expire as juniors move through training.
In the Lords, (2.30pm) after their usual half hour of questions to ministers, peers will deal with no fewer than three bills - a sign that the scheduling has become a little frayed.
First up is the third reading of the Scotland Bill. Normally these are quite brief exercises in rubber stamping, but there is talk of a last ditch amendment on the rather arcane issue of the "Sewell Convention" under which the UK and Scottish Parliaments pass legislative consent motions to avoid treading on each other's toes.
This is followed by the Immigration Bill, report stage, day two. Key issues will be Lord Dubs' amendment on unaccompanied refugee children, family reunion for asylum seekers, genocide and the immigration skills charge (likely to be in relation to universities and the health sector).
Finally, there will be be some further consideration of the Housing and Planning Bill including "permission in principle".
Tuesday
The Commons opens (11.30am) with Health questions. Then, Labour MP Wes Streeting has a Ten Minute Rule Bill on Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Operators (Regulation) - this aims to increase training requirements for those seeking a PHV (private hire vehicle) licence, to improve safety and ensure a more level playing field between training requirements for drivers of taxis and PHVs; to switch to an "operators insurance" system where PHV companies are responsible for insuring their drivers rather than drivers individually, and to ensure multinational operators pay full taxes on money earned in the UK by closing legal 'loopholes' which enable profits to be transferred to another country.
When that is dealt with, the House moves onto the conclusion of the Budget debate - and the Budget resolutions (see above).
The adjournment debate, led by the Conservative Jake Berry is on government policy to prevent breast ironing in the UK - this is painful form of ritual body mutilation, which involves pounding and massaging the developing breasts of young girls with objects that have been heated over coals.
In Westminster Hall, there are debates on the importation of faulty electrical goods (9.30am-11am); the first anniversary of war in Yemen (11am- 11.30am); GPS satellite navigation and heavy goods vehicles (2.30pm-4pm); the persecution of Christians and other religious minorities under Daesh (4pm-4.30pm) and the Macur Review into historic child abuse - from Liz Saville Roberts (4.30pm-5.30pm).
In the Lords (at 2.30pm) peers grind on through the Housing and Planning Bill committee stage (day eight of nine) where the main issue in play will be the privatisation of the preparation of planning applications.
Wednesday
The Commons opens (11.30am) with Scottish questions, and at noon there is Prime Minister's Questions.
That's followed by an interesting Ten Minute Rule Bill on Cannabis (Legalisation and Regulation) from Norman Lamb, The Lib Dem former health minister believes that there is a strong public health case for regulating (and taxing) the trade rather than allowing organised crime to sell what may be very dangerous forms of cannabis.
The day's main legislating is on the HS2 Bill - aka the High Speed Rail (London - West Midlands) Bill. This is the report stage, after a gruelling two-year committee stage, in which people affected by the controversial mega-project have petitioned MPs for more compensation, changes to the route and environmental protections.
There's an amendment down from the Conservative Michael Fabricant, whose Litchfield constituency is along the route of the new line, to kill the whole bill. It is highly unlikely to be selected, and Mr Fabricant would not push it to a vote if it was (defeat would be certain given the scheme has Conservative and Labour support) but it puts his objections on the record.
Arch HS2 opponent Cheryl Gillan has a series of amendments on everything from compensation to tree planting - but her key proposal is for an adjudicator to deal with complaints during the construction process. Once approved by MPs, the bill goes to the Lords.
Next, there's a motion on "Short Money" - the funding given to opposition parties to support their parliamentary work, which pays for assorted researcher/spin doctor figures. The government had proposed major cuts, to the fury of the Opposition parties and seems to be backing rapidly down - not least because it infuriates potential Commons allies, who might be needed when their narrow majority is in danger. Expect some quiet crowing when the retreat is sounded.
There's also a slot pencilled in for consideration of any Lords amendments to bills - and after the recent defeats on the Immigration Bill and the Trade Union Bill there will have to be quite a few of bouts of "Parliamentary ping-pong" with their Lordships, in the coming weeks.
The adjournment debate, from Labour's Stephen Hepburn, is on the prosecution of construction companies for fatal accidents.
In Westminster Hall, there are debates on: the political situation in Burma (9.30am -11am); legal guardianship and missing people (11am- 11.30am); enforcement of the national minimum wage in the care sector (2.30pm- 4pm); the registration of births of children of deceased people (4pm- 4.30pm), and Hong Kong and the Sino-British Joint Declaration (4.30pm- 5.30pm).
In the Lords (3pm) there's yet more committee stage debate on the Housing and Planning Bill - but this should be the final day, allowing the bill to move to report stage after Easter.
And peers will also debate two statutory instruments on the Greater Manchester Authority and on the Tees Valley Combined Authority; after which peers rise for their Easter break.
Thursday
In the Commons (9.30am) MPs open with Energy and Climate Change questions, which will be followed by the weekly Business Statement from the Leader of the House, Chris Grayling.
The rest of the day is dedicated to backbench business - first a debate on court closures - and then the debate on the Easter adjournment, in which MPs can speak about any subject that takes their fancy.
The adjournment debate is followed by an adjournment debate - in this case, former Army officer Johnny Mercer on the role of charities in the veterans' care sector.

The incident happened near Talgarth on 30 July as the glider soared at 1,600ft (488m) in an area known as Gospel Pass.
The US Air Force F-15 was flying at 517mph (832km/h) at an altitude of 500ft (152m).
The glider pilot told experts the risk of collision was "high". Neither was fitted with warning equipment.
At the time of the incident, the aircrafts were outside controlled airspace, flying on Visual Flight Rules (VFR) where pilots are required to "see and avoid" each other.
The F-15 pilot, who is based in the UK, said he was aware of a gliding club in the area but had not seen the other aircraft and did not believe there was a risk of a collision.
The Black Mountains Gliding Club told officials there had been informal agreements with RAF Harrier pilots in the 1990s to keep the fast jets and gliders apart.
The gliding club suggested that the arrangement with military pilots should be reinstated but Airprox board officials said there should be more formal restrictions on flying in the area.
Experts concluded neither pilot had seen the other aircraft in time to take evasive action and the risk was category B - a medium risk. | An official report has described how an American fighter jet flew directly below a glider over the Black Mountains in Powys. | 34,875,417 | 281 | 29 | false |
From 1 September, the MenB vaccine will be added to the NHS childhood immunisation programme in Wales.
The disease can cause meningitis and septicaemia, which can both be fatal.
In the past 20 years, 500 to 1,700 people have developed MenB disease every year in England and Wales - around half of them under five-years-old.
The UK is the first country to routinely offer the jab, alongside the MenC vaccine, which is given to children when they are three months old.
Babies will be offered the three-dose vaccine with other routine jabs at two months, four months and 12-13 months.
Children born on or after 1 July this year will get it alongside their other immunisations.
Meningitis is an infection of the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
Symptoms in babies and young children can include a fever, vomiting and refusing to feed, drowsiness or being unresponsive, rapid breathing or having an unusual high-pitched or moaning cry.
Other symptoms include pale, blotchy skin, a stiff neck, red rash that does not fade under a glass and sensitivity to bright lights.
Pamela Anderson, in her Baywatch role as lifeguard CJ Parker, would patrol the beaches of Los Angeles County, spot a swimmer in distress and spring into action - sprinting across California's golden sands and into the glittering sea.
So quick was her reaction to danger, that viewers needed slow motion to watch their big-bosomed hero bound along, her breasts swinging from side to side, nothing but a red swimsuit to support them.
Not once did her face contort in pain. Never was there any sign of bleeding nipples or sores. This was an all-American woman who did not let her DD cups get in the way of saving lives.
Perhaps it is the memory of CJ Parker's easy grace that makes it so hard to believe the Amazons of ancient Greece, so legend goes, cut off their right breasts to take part in archery.
Likewise it is difficult to comprehend that French sportswoman Violette Morris chose to have a double mastectomy in the 1920s because her breasts "impeded control" of her racing car.
But the reality is that sporty women have always had to endure breast pain, wrap their busts with elastic or double up on everyday brassieres - or at least they had to until the invention, 38 years ago, of the sports bra.
Hinda Miller, the garment's inventor, recalls those difficult days of running without sufficient support. It was a time of bouncing boobs and "lecherous" men.
"We had witnessed bleeding nipples in the first 5km runs that were just starting to be popular in the 1970s," she told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We knew there was something unhealthy. If your breasts bounce it can tear the Cooper ligaments [that maintain the shape and configuration of the breast] and that's not good for breast feeding and other things women do in later life."
Miller and two friends, Lisa Lindahl and Polly Palmer-Smith, set out to solve the problem experienced by women worldwide who were struggling to embrace the rise in popularity of running and fitness in the 1970s. Their light bulb moment? A basket of dirty washing.
When Lindahl's husband grabbed his jock strap from the laundry and wore it across his chest like a bra, the Jockbra, which would later become the Jogbra, was born.
"We said 'wait a minute, that's what we want to do'," recalls Miller. "So we bought two jock straps, used the wide band that goes around a man's waist to go underneath our rib cage.
"We left one pouch on, took another pouch from the second jock strap and sewed it along the band so it looked like two triangles on a wide band.
"Then we took the butt straps, sewed them together, crossed them in the back, no clasps, nothing to dig into the skin, pulled it on over the head and that was the first prototype."
As the 1970s entered its final year the trio were ready to introduce their product to the world, or to a few specialist sports shops at least.
Some shops were said to be squeamish about displaying bras and the first editions were packaged in black boxes to make it easier for bashful men to sell, but the first 40 produced quickly sold out and in the second year sales were worth $500,000.
"A lot of people wanted to sell the Jogbra and we used to give them a test," says Miller.
"If you can say the word nipples and look someone straight in the eye, then you can sell the Jogbra."
But what impact has the invention had? "If I forgot my sports bra, forget it, I just wouldn't compete," says Goldie Sayers, 11-time British javelin champion. "That's how integral it is to my performance."
Every athlete has a pre-competition ritual. Anyone peeking inside Sayers' hotel room before a major event would have found the thrower looking at herself in the mirror, repeatedly bouncing as if on an imaginary pogo stick.
"I'd always have a bounce test to see which bra was the best before going out to compete," explains the 32-year-old. "I'd get my room-mate to help me decide."
The sports bra allowed Britain's most successful gymnast Beth Tweddle to flip, twirl and dazzle with freedom. The three-time world champion could focus on her sport and "not what my body was doing".
For Paralympic equestrian rider Natasha Baker, a fitted sports bra "totally changed" her life. While 19th Century English equestriennes wore special corsets for riding, Baker and her female team-mates can these days compete in comfort.
"You want the whole focus to be on you and your horse," says the 25-year-old. "Constantly worrying that your bra straps are falling down is not helpful.
"I don't think young girls are aware of breast issues. It could be very, very bad for me if I did ride in a normal bra and I wasn't aware of that as a young girl."
Not wearing the right sports bra can damage the breast, cause pain and sagging but, according to research by the University of Portsmouth, the majority of women who exercise do not wear one.
In a questionnaire issued by the university, 46% of 2,000 young girls said their breasts were a barrier to participating in sport.
"There's a need to educate girls and empower them to make the right choices about their breast health, whether that's to do with wearing the correct sports bra or how to choose that sports bra," says Amanda Brasher from the university's Research Group in Breast Health.
Brasher can empathise with those who are self-conscious when exercising, recalling the "mortifying" moment the BBC came to film and take photographs of her as a promising 17-year-old tennis player, arms crossed at the net, cleavage accidentally showing.
"It's something that's etched in my mind," she says. "I think the power of sport is huge and it's shocking so many girls drop out of sport.
"A sports bra should be as important as your shoes and you should replace them as often as you replace your shoes. If we educate and empower women, we would get 100% of them wearing a sports bra."
If there is a need to educate and empower, there is also a need to entice. World marathon record holder Paula Radcliffe says women need to feel good when exercising.
Ten years ago it would have been difficult for women of cup sizes D and above to buy suitable sports bras, but there has since been an "explosion" in the market as manufacturers have grasped the need for good supportive, fashionable sports bras.
"There are a lot more insecurities stopping women taking part in sport than there are for men," says the three-time London Marathon winner.
"A lot of women want to feel comfortable, feel attractive, feel good about themselves when they're doing sports."

South Carolina schools were shut on Monday and several motorways were closed as rain continued to fall.
One weather station in Columbia - South Carolina's capital - recorded 17 inches (43cm) in as many hours on Sunday.
The torrential rains have been made worse by a weather system connected to Hurricane Joaquin in the Caribbean.
The storm is not expected to hit the eastern US, but the moisture associated with it is contributing to heavy rainfall.
"The flooding is unprecedented and historical," said Dr Marshall Shepherd, a meteorologist and director of the atmospheric sciences program at the University of Georgia.
Many of the victims have drowned after flood waters swept over their vehicles.
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley urged residents to stay indoors.
"The water is not safe and a lot of areas across the state where you see this deep water, it's got bacteria in it. So, stay inside and don't get in there," she said.
President Barack Obama has declared a state of emergency in South Carolina. The move means state and local authorities can receive federal help to deal with the flooding.
"We have every ambulance in the county out responding to calls. People are being moved from their homes in boats," Georgetown County spokeswoman Jackie Broach told Reuters.
About 100 people were rescued from their cars on flooded roads on Saturday night.
In the historic city centre of Charleston, many streets have been closed and sandbags have been piled up to keep floodwaters out.

The 33-year-old is a surprise omission but Chelsea's John Terry has been named in a squad captained by Steven Gerrard.
There are call-ups for uncapped Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy.
Liverpool winger Stewart Downing and Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck have also been picked.
"It's not been an easy squad to put together," said boss Roy Hodgson. "But I'm pleased with the squad I've put together and I think it's a well-balanced squad."
Gerrard, who captained Liverpool during Hodgson's time as manager at Anfield, also led England at the 2010 World Cup.
"I know him as a player and a person and how committed he is to the England cause," explained Hodgson.
"He will help me build the team unity and environment we need to thrive in a tournament."
As expected, Wayne Rooney is selected despite being suspended for the first two games of England's Group D campaign, against France on 11 June and Sweden four days later.
"After the debacle in South Africa, everyone was clamouring for youth. I'm slightly surprised Roy Hodgson has only named four forwards considering he will be without Wayne Rooney for a couple of games."
In addition to Carroll, Welbeck and Rooney, Hodgson will take Jermain Defoe - who has not played a competitive match for England since September 2010 - as a striking option.
Birmingham goalkeeper Jack Butland is among the list of five standby players, which also comprises Adam Johnson, Daniel Sturridge, Phil Jagielka and Jordan Henderson.
Barring injury, Johnson will miss out on a major tournament for a second time, having been axed from Fabio Capello's provisional World Cup squad in 2010.
Hodgson's wide players are Ashley Young, Theo Walcott, James Milner, Downing and Oxlade-Chamberlain.
There is no place for Manchester United's Michael Carrick as Gareth Barry, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Scott Parker - who is struggling with an Achilles injury - take the central midfield berths.
Manchester City right-back Micah Richards also misses out as Hodgson names only seven orthodox defenders, including Phil Jones and Joleon Lescott, who are both capable of filling more than one position.

Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker was ruled out with a toe injury.
Ruddy joins Joe Hart and Robert Green in the goalkeeping contingent.
"It's a real honour for me and hopefully it's an indication as to how far I have developed as a player," said Ruddy.
"Playing for my country has been a dream of mine, of course it has.
"I'm under no illusions as to the quality of Joe Hart and Rob Green and that I will be number three keeper. But I'm really looking forward to training with them and getting down to some hard work."
The Football Association's planned training camp in Spain has been cancelled.
Instead, England will meet up in Manchester on Wednesday before flying to Norway on Friday for their friendly in Oslo on 26 May.
Seven days later, they face Belgium at Wembley - although Ruddy will be missing having been given special dispensation to leave the squad for his wedding on 2 June.
Goalkeepers - Joe Hart, Robert Green, John Ruddy.
Defenders - Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole, Glen Johnson, Phil Jones, Joleon Lescott, John Terry.
Midfielders - Gareth Barry, Stewart Downing, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Scott Parker, Theo Walcott, Ashley Young.
Strikers - Andy Carroll, Jermain Defoe, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck.
Standby - Jack Butland, Phil Jagielka, Jordan Henderson, Adam Johnson, Daniel Sturridge.

The German quit in 2016, five days after winning the title for Mercedes, and said he now follows F1 "as a fan" and has no desire to get back in a car.
"I am completely fulfilled," he said in an exclusive BBC Sport interview.
"It is a page that has turned for me. It was the perfect ending for me, the perfect career."
Rosberg, 31, won nine of last season's 21 grands prix, beating three-time champion and team-mate Lewis Hamilton by five points.
The son of Finnish 1982 world champion Keke, he made his F1 debut for Williams at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2006, finishing seventh.
Overall, Rosberg raced in 206 grands prix, winning 23 and finishing on the podium 57 times.
"It is fun to watch the action and F1 is as good as it has ever been this year," he said. "Although it is 12 years since I last watched it on TV.
"It is really exciting to watch as an outsider. There is so much going on, you never know who is going to win and it is exciting for all the fans out there."
Rosberg was replaced at Mercedes by Valtteri Bottas, who is lying third in the championship heading into Monaco this weekend.
The Finn is 41 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari, who is six points clear of Hamilton.
Rosberg says that, while Bottas is "doing a great job", he thinks Mercedes might be missing his experience when it came to setting up the car.
"I was there from day one," he said, referring to his joining Mercedes when the company bought the Brawn team at the end of 2009.
"I knew how everybody worked and I knew how to set up the car and that is not something you can replace in a couple of days.
"They have found a very good replacement. But it is going to take him a bit longer in terms of experience to have a big impact on car set-up and development."
Rosberg said it was "too early to write off" Bottas' hopes of the title but said it would "most likely" be disputed by Vettel and Hamilton.
Vettel set an impressive pace in second practice in Monaco on Thursday, with Hamilton ending the session eighth.
"My hopes are it goes to the wire," Rosberg said. "That's what all of us fans want to see. Then, of course, I would hope my ex-racing family take it home."
Rosberg, whose wife Vivian is expecting their second child, said he was enjoying his new life and working out what he was going to do next.
He refused to go into detail, but said he was enthused by developments in road-car technology.
"I have always been a fan of road cars," he said. "In that industry there is going to be the biggest revolution in 100 years, going towards electric and autonomous cars.
"Innovation and engineering has always been a passion of mine and a lot of things are pushing me in that direction. But it is too early to speak in more detail.
"The autonomous car has the potential to save up to a million lives a year, because that is how many people are dying on the roads. It will change the world."
Partridge joined the show in 2008 while Elliott joined the following year.
Elliott said his time on the series had been "brilliant", adding he was pleased at how it had addressed "the sensitive subject matter of being a gay Muslim".
Partridge echoed those sentiments but said that "leaving at the same time as Marc felt like the only thing to do".
"I have had the time of my life at EastEnders but I have always gone with my gut," said the musical theatre performer, who appeared as a judge on the BBC's Over the Rainbow talent show.
"It is the right end to the story, and for Christian. But also, excitingly, the start of a whole new chapter for me."
"As an actor you are always looking for new challenges," continued Elliott.
"I feel that now is the right time to move on and explore different projects, perhaps returning to my roots in theatre."
It is not yet known how Elliott and Partridge's characters will come to leave Albert Square.
Spurs moved up to third place as headers from Dele Alli either side of half-time made the difference to leave Chelsea five points ahead of Liverpool in second place.
Alli rose to meet Christian Eriksen's cross in first-half stoppage time and the same pair combined to put the game out of Chelsea's reach in the 54th minute.
Eden Hazard had Chelsea's two best chances in each half but Spurs closed out the victory in comfort to put north London rivals Arsenal out of the top four and leave themselves seven points off the top after their fifth successive league win.
Read more: Spurs can challenge for title - Conte
Tottenham's season was at a tipping point after a disappointing Champions League exit at the group stage and the poor performance in defeat at Manchester United in early December - but they have responded magnificently.
Mauricio Pochettino's side are gathering impressive momentum, illustrated by the manner in which they overcame a Chelsea side that was starting to carry an air of impregnability.
The 4-1 wins at Southampton and Watford served as a warning that Spurs were approaching the sort of form that carried them close to the title last season and this performance confirmed their growing confidence and stature.
Spurs have recaptured their intensity and energy and when this is bolted on to the quality provided here by the likes of Alli and Eriksen, it makes them a formidable prospect.
Manchester City had already found Spurs too hot to handle at White Hart Lane this season - and Chelsea suffered a similar fate.
Alli endured a quiet start to the season, perhaps in the aftermath of England's debacle at Euro 2016 - but the 20-year-old is firing on cylinders now.
Alli's headed double here made it seven goals his last four games, the third time in succession he has scored twice in a game after doing the same at Southampton and Watford.
Pochettino said before the game that he regarded Alli as "the most important player to emerge in English football in recent years".
And here the £5m signing from MK Dons backed up his manager's confident words with a consummate all-round display crowned by the two towering headers which proved decisive.
Alli received a standing ovation when he was replaced in the closing minutes after showing the quality that will make him an integral part of the future of both Spurs and England.
Chelsea's perfectionist manager Antonio Conte and his players will be bitterly disappointed they could not achieve Premier League history with a 14th successive win that would have matched the mark set across the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons by Arsenal.
However they remain in prime position in the title race.
They still have a healthy five-point lead over Liverpool in second place and have come a long way since their last Premier League defeat at Arsenal on 24 September, a 3-0 loss that left them eight points adrift of then-leaders Manchester City in eighth place.
Conte has transformed the mood around the team and the club and while their superb run may be at an end, this is a team fully equipped to go the distance in the title race.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: "It is a massive victory, a very important three points to reduce the gap at the top of the table. It was a very tough game, we were playing one of the best teams in Europe, so the value of the victory is massive.
"It makes us very proud and we showed character and were competitive. It is one step forward for the team and is important to keep going. Football is about belief.
"We have shown we can challenge for the big things. We are in a good position, Chelsea is in a very good position, but we are fighting to get points and to reduce the gap above us."

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte: "I saw a game with a great balance. It is not easy to play against Tottenham. But we played with a good personality to create the chances to score a goal, but we could not take them.
"It is strange for us to concede these goals because we are defending well, and they are in a crucial moment. At the end of the first half and then in the second half after we miss the chances to score, but this can happen.
"We must work hard and be pleased with our position in the table, but know this league is tough until the end for the Champions League, for the title."
Tottenham play Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round on Sunday before resuming their league campaign at home to West Brom on Saturday 14 January.
Chelsea take on Peterborough in the FA Cup on Sunday before travelling to defending Premier League champions Leicester six days later.

But Sir Peter O'Sullevan was a hero to so many of us who completely disproved the theory.
As well as being the soundtrack to racing for millions, an incisive journalist, prolific writer, racehorse owner, punter and tireless fundraiser, we've also lost a completely charming person who went out of his way to help and support.
Sitting next to such a legend for the first time at some media event was daunting, but I recall being effortlessly put at my ease with an inquiry about how I was getting on at the BBC - he always wanted to know the gossip from the Corporation on which he held strong, not always favourable views.
And the stories were legion, not, of course, just of things about which he'd been told over the decades, but of which he'd actually been part.
A favourite way of starting the story would be: "As recently as 1947…"

So, he wasn't just a walking, talking encyclopaedia about decades of racing, but he'd had all sorts of roles in the sport during that time, from walk-on to starring.
Nothing illustrated that better than the 1974 Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival when his own horse, Attivo, won with him behind the microphone.
In those unmistakable tones and with the trademark unflappable style, it is hard to detect even a quiver of emotion in his voice as he called the horse home in front and added "owned by Mr Peter O'Sullevan".
Everyone has a favourite commentary moment from the most imitable of broadcasters - go on, I'm sure you have tried to copy the great man's tones, with varying degrees of success, I certainly have - and there's no doubt what mine is.
I asked him about it a year or two ago over a bottle of something pretty decent - he loved what might be called the good things in life - at his large flat tucked away behind the Kings Road in central London.
"You remember, I'm sure Peter, a successful jockey of the 1970s and 80s era, Malcolm Bastard," I said.
"Of course, mi 'lad," he replied. His mind was as sharp as anything and his eyes bright right to the end.
"The story goes," I continued, "that you always called him Malcolm Bastard (as opposed to queasier colleagues who preferred Bas-tard) and one day when he was riding for the trainer Pam Sly it's said that you declared 'It's another win for the Sly-Bastard combination'.
"Is it true? It's just that I might put it in my after-dinner routine."
"Ha, ha," he said with a grin. "I like it - that's certainly one to keep going with and how flattering you thought of me." Characteristically humble as well.
And he loved a bet. Bookies feared a call from 'The Voice' on any dark horse from France, where he was particularly well-connected, or Ireland, during the period when trainer Vincent O'Brien was in his pomp.
Bookmaker Wally Pyrah once told me the six most dangerous words in the English language, as far as he was concerned, followed a tap on the shoulder or early morning telephone call: "I think we can do business."
It was said too that one of the few ways to determine if he was 'on' a good bet during a commentary was to listen out for any reference to a runner "making significant progress"; that meant he was.
But now those sumptuous tones have gone quiet forever and are mourned by dyed-in-the-wool racegoers and once-a-year punters on Grand National day alike.
A hero who never disappointed.
A former Taliban commander in Helmand province, Mullah Abdul Rauf, has declared his allegiance to IS.
An elder from the Sangin district, Sayeduddin Sanginwal, told the BBC that the new group had fought with the Taliban after replacing white Taliban flags with the black flags of IS.
He said about 20 people from both sides had been killed and injured.
The deputy commander of the Afghan army unit responsible for the area, General Mahmood, confirmed that he had received reports of the new group within the past few days.
He said they were trying to win support for the IS cause, and they were "preparing to fight".
The leader of the new movement, Mullah Abdul Rauf, was a former senior Taliban commander who spent six years in Guantanamo Bay after being captured by US forces in 2001.
There had been reports that he had fallen out with the leader of the movement Mullah Omar.
Rauf is a distant relative of the Governor of Nimruz province, Amir Mohammed, who said that the commander had lost a leg before being taken to Guantanamo.
The governor said that IS had already attempted to recruit people in Farah, another south-western province, but had been driven out by local people with the help of the police.
He said they were all the same: "Once they fought under al-Qaeda name, then as Taliban, and now IS, they are the same people with the same programmes."
In another sign that the Taliban are facing internal challenges, a former spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban has appeared in a video online, saying that there were several IS commanders operating, and that the Pakistani Taliban were now allied to the movement.
There is no independent verification of this claim, but the video had images of several commanders across Afghanistan who were also said to be now backing IS.
In the video they claim to have shifted their allegiance from the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, to the IS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
This represents the first serious challenge to the coherence of the Taliban leadership for many years.
Omar has not been seen in public since 2001.
His fighters have continued their assault on Afghan military targets, even after the end of foreign combat operations at the end of 2014. And despite sustaining very heavy casualties, particularly among the police, Afghan forces have held their ground.
A major ceremonial event has been held in the headquarters of the military garrison in Helmand province to tell political leaders that the Afghan forces are now in control.
Huge areas of the base, called Camp Bastion by British forces, are now deserted as Afghan forces occupy only a small part of it.
Commanders say that the fighting season has gone on through an unseasonably dry and mild winter in Afghanistan - but if IS does succeed in infiltrating Afghanistan, the nature of the war will change.
Elders who came into the base to witness the show of military strength said that they had seen the Russians come and go, and now the British and Americans, but they hoped that Islamic State would not come.
There are also accounts that a group called Khorasan has been attempting to recruit fighters in Wardak province.
Khorasan is an old name for Afghanistan, and is a word that carried mythical overtones for some Muslims after an ancient prophecy that black flags would once again fly in Khorasan before the end of the world.
The US said that an air strike near Aleppo in Syria last September was on a base used by a previously unknown group also called Khorasan.
This group was allied to Islamic State, but it is not clear if there is any connection with the attempts to win support for Khorasan in Afghanistan.
This all appears to mean that the Afghan conflict is entering a new and unstable phase.
There have been more direct suicide attacks recently on civilians - including a volleyball game - which had not been Taliban targets in the past.
If Mullah Omar is losing his grip and Islamic State has infiltrated the country, then it will represent the biggest challenge yet to the new government of President Ashraf Ghani, who has only now announced a cabinet after more than three months in office.
Matthew Leahy, 20, was found dead at the Linden Centre, Chelmsford, in November 2012.
Chelmsford Coroner's Court heard a group of nurses created a care plan after his death and post-dated the document to before his body was found.
One of the workers was dismissed for gross misconduct, and two were given written warnings.
All three, who have not been named, have been referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council, the inquest heard.
During the first day of the hearing, the jury was told Mr Leahy had a history of drug-induced psychosis.
He had been living in a caravan at Bradwell Marina when he smashed up the property, made threats to kill himself and went missing, the jury heard.
He was taken to the inpatient unit at the Linden Centre, operated by the North Essex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, on 7 November 2012.
On 15 November, Mr Leahy's body was found in his room by staff members.
Consultant pathologist Dr Ben Swift told the inquest a post mortem examination revealed the cause of Mr Leahy's death was hanging.
He had used cannabis prior to his death, but Dr Swift could not be sure when.
Det Chief Insp Stuart Hooper, from Essex Police, told the court no evidence was found of gross negligence by the Linden Centre, and Mr Leahy's death was not treated as suspicious.
Coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray told the jury members they would be looking into "whether state authorities did everything they could have done to prevent his death".
The hearing, expected to last five days, continues.
The Fu Yuan Yu Leng 999 was found on Sunday in the archipelago, which is a marine reserve, carrying 300 tonnes of fish.
Most of the catch was sharks, including protected species such as hammerheads.
About 20 crew members face up to three years in prison if found guilty of trafficking protected species.
The Galapagos archipelago is an UNESCO world heritage site because of the rich bio-diversity found in the area.
Ecuador's environment minister Tarsicio Granizo said on Tuesday that a judge on the island of San Cristobal had ordered the crew to be held in custody pending court proceedings.
"Not necessarily all of the catch came from the marine reserve, but the fact that it included young sharks, even baby sharks, indicates that they could have been caught inside the reserve," the minister was quoted as saying by AFP news agency.
Walter Bustos, the director of the Galapagos National Park, told Ecuadorian newspaper El Universo that the boat was the largest vessel captured inside the marine reserve.
In 2015 Ecuadorian police seized about 200,000 shark fins that were set to be exported to Asia.
Shark fin is considered a delicacy in Chinese cuisine, and is usually served as a soup at banquets. Critics say demand for fins is wiping out endangered species and fuelling illegal trafficking.
Waisake Naholo comes in on the wing and Anton Lienert-Brown at outside centre.
They replace the injured pair of Ben Smith (concussion) and Ryan Crotty (hamstring).
Ngani Laumape has also been added to the All Black's bench after the 24-year-old back impressed playing for Hurricanes in the draw with the Lions on Tuesday.
New Zealand's head coach Steve Hansen said the loss of Smith and Crotty creates an opportunity for others.
"Whilst we were happy with the win last weekend, we know that it was just a start, in what is a three-Test Series. That means the job is far from done," he added.
The Lions will be looking to bounce back after losing the first Test 30-15 in Auckland.
"We're aware the British and Irish Lions have their backs to the wall and will chuck everything at us to keep themselves alive in the series. They are a quality side who we respect immensely," added Hansen.
"In reality, last week's Test could've gone either way had they taken more of their chances."
Team: I Dagg; W Naholo, A Lienert-Brown, SB Williams, R Ioane; B Barrett, A Smith; J Moody, C Taylor, O Franks, B Retallick, S Whitelock, J Kaino, S Cane, K Read (capt).
Replacements: N Harris, W Crockett, C Faumuina, S Barrett, A Savea, TJ Perenara, A Cruden, N Laumape.
Alexander Lukashenko said those who worked fewer than 183 days per year would not be liable in 2017 - but stressed the tax would not be scrapped.
The decree - adopted in 2015 - requires those people to pay about $250 (£205) as compensation for lost tax revenues.
It triggered mass protests last month, and more rallies are planned for March.
Mr Lukashenko announced the decision to freeze the tax collection at a government meeting in the capital Minsk on Thursday.
"The decree must be adjusted during March. The decree will not be abolished," he was quoted as saying by Belarus's Belta news agency.
The president also said that those who had already paid the tax in 2016 would be fully compensated if they found a job next year.
According to the last tax inspection, 470,000 people should have paid the tax but only 50,000 had done so, Reuters news agency reports.
At the same time, the president warned that the authorities must show "tough reaction" to organisers of any future street protests against the decree.
Mr Lukashenko has run Belarus - a country where little dissent is tolerated - since 1994.
He has been described by some Western officials as "Europe's last dictator".
However, Mr Lukashenko has recently been seeking to improve ties with the West and lessen the country's dependence on Russia.
The 26-year-old, who made 37 league appearances for the Cards last season, has agreed a one-year contract with the option of a further year.
"He is more than capable of making the step back up to league football," Reds head coach Dermot Drummy said.
"In fact, he will thrive on an opportunity to establish himself again at this level."
Arthur, who has previously had spells at Northampton and AFC Wimbledon, becomes Crawley's seventh signing of the close season.
Meanwhile, 26-year-old midfielder Lewis Young has agreed a new one-year deal with the West Sussex club.

Cynthia Cheung, 21, met the men while handing out free lunch boxes she regularly makes for homeless people.
Ms Cheung, who is studying business, has used her own money to have their poems and drawings published and made available to buy as cards.
"When I met them they were such lovely people, I just wanted to help promote their talent to the world," she said.
One of the men, Jon Brown, has already had some success realising his dream of becoming an illustrator.
Through a chance meeting with an author while at his pitch outside Waterstones a year ago he secured a commission to illustrate three children's books.
Later he was asked to design a window display for Waterstones which featured a dragon he named Lucky.
"I've put the dragon into a Christmas setting for the card," said Mr Brown.
Mr Brown puts his love of illustrations down to time spent watching his grandfather at work.
"My granddad was an engraver who made embossed cards and when I was little I used to spend hours watching him work and talking to him about what he was making," he said.
"I can smell the metal now and see all the stamps and chisels he had.
"This is what I've always wanted to do."
The other artist, Brian Jones, who describes himself as "homeless not hopeless", has been a rough sleeper for more than 20 years.
His latest poem, written especially for Christmas, asks the reader to remember the poor while enjoying the best of the season with friends and family.
Ms Cheung has used her business training to source a publisher and has had 50 cards of each of two designs printed. They are being sold through her website called Fulfill Our Purpose.
"All the profits from the sale of the cards will go to the two men," she said.
The women will compete in the semi-finals after qualifying in third place from the group stage.
They will face perennial finalists the Netherlands on Wednesday.
Britain's men finished runners-up in Group B and will face Poland, who finished third in their group, in the quarter-finals on Tuesday at 17:45 BST.
The men's only defeat came against Turkey, losing 71-60 in the final match of qualifying. The Rio 2016 bronze medallists will be aiming for their fourth straight European title in Spain.
Manager Chris Hughton and chairman Tony Bloom were awarded the freedom of the city in recognition of their success at the club.
Albion will join the English game's elite next season after missing out on promotion in last season's play-offs.
The honour was previously conferred on Bloom's predecessor, Dick Knight.
Freedom of the city is an honorary title and, contrary to widespread perception, does not confer special rights on recipients.
But it is still a relatively rare honour and reinforces the warm relationship between the club and the city, which hosted a civic reception and seafront parade on Sunday, attended by an estimated 60,000 people.
Hughton, who was appointed manager in December 2014, with the club just above the relegation zone in England's second tier, kept them up in his first season before guiding them to third place last year, when they missed promotion by two goals and then lost out on a second chance of promotion via the play-offs.
This season they finished second, earning automatic promotion, which is estimated to be worth more than £160m to the club - with potentially lucrative spin-offs for the entire city.
He said it had been "a hugely emotional day".
"This is very humbling for me as someone who has only been in the city for two and a half years," he said.
Bloom has ploughed millions of pounds into the club since succeeding Knight in 2009, building a new stadium on the outskirts of the city and a top-class training complex in neighbouring Lancing.
Members of the council, which expects "huge benefits" to the city's economy from the increased profile and number of visitors, paid tribute to the pair at a special ceremony at Brighton town hall.
A club spokesman said: "It's a wonderful honour for Tony Bloom and Chris Hughton, and one both men thoroughly deserve. The joy they've bought to so many people in the city of Brighton was evident last Sunday and as a club we are extremely proud of our chairman and manager."
The 71-year-old's appointment comes after recommendations by an official report that more ex-trainers and jockeys should be used in the process.
Pitman, known for her straight talking, retired in 1998 having won two Grand Nationals and two Cheltenham Gold Cups.
She is one of 15 new members, along with former jockeys Philip Robinson and Jodie Mogford, on a 23-strong panel.
The addition of racing professionals was among changes recommended by Christopher Quinlan QC in his report last year on the BHA's integrity after the Jim Best and Matthew Lohn controversy.
Trainer Best was originally banned for four years for ordering a jockey not to win two races but his suspension was reduced to six months after the initial verdict was quashed because of "an appearance of bias".
Lohn, the solicitor who chaired the initial hearing, was carrying out other work for the BHA at the time.
BBC horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght:
Clearly there's a whiff of poacher-turned-gamekeeper about these appointments of Jenny Pitman and co, but a QC-led review commissioned after a number of embarrassing controversies was clear that a shake-up was needed, and one of the things it identified was using more experienced ex-professionals.
Pitman became one of the best-known trainers of her generation during 20 or so years of training, which ended just under 20 years ago, a period during which she smashed through boundaries for females in an unquestionably male-dominated sport.
The reasonably smooth running of areas like discipline and licensing (of owners, trainers, jockeys etc) is vital to any sport, and there's no question that confidence in the system has been dented and does need to be rebuilt.
Jordi Gomez had put Rovers in front on his debut with 18 minutes to go with a sublime 20-yard strike.
But after Boro debutant Jordan Rhodes was introduced to face the club he left in a £9m move, Nugent levelled matters by nodding in Emilio Nsue's cross.
Hope Akpan had a clear chance to win the game for Rovers but he fired wide.
Rovers boss Paul Lambert saw his side having the better of the chances until Boro introduced new signing Rhodes, who arrived on transfer deadline day.
Blackburn's Elliott Ward had a goal ruled out for offside and Tony Watt fired wide, while Grant Leadbitter and Kike Sola went close for the hosts, who saw Daniel Ayala forced off with an ankle injury after seeing his header saved by Jason Steele.
The visitors looked the more threatening side after the restart with Darragh Lenihan going close with a couple of attempts.
And after Ben Gibson fired over, Rovers took the lead when Gomez, another deadline day signing, struck at goal from 20 yards before Nugent headed in and the former England international went close again soon after, shooting wide from distance.
Akpan should have made it 2-1 to Rovers before Rhodes tested his former team-mate Steele late on, but Blackburn held on for a deserved point.
Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka: "The first 70 minutes we didn't play with the intensity that we needed to, especially after our last two defeats.
"I thought the reaction today was going to be better, but the last 20 minutes is the only time we wanted to win or draw the game when we had a few chances.
"I know the concern, now we try to motivate them as we were two or three weeks ago. So now we try to work more and try to pick the right players."
Blackburn manager Paul Lambert: "I thought we were the better team and we should have won it, with the chances we had.
"Performance-wise I thought we were outstanding. To come here against a team trying to get out of the league is tough but we were very good.
"We coped really well, we dominated the middle of the pitch. They're a good side and they're up there on merit, but we put a lot of pressure on them."

Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, said he would table "concrete proposals" for discussion at February's summit of EU leaders in Brussels.
Should a deal be reached, it would open the possibility of a referendum on the UK's membership being held in June.
A poll must be held by the end of 2017, but the PM is thought to favour 2016.
Downing Street responded to Mr Tusk's comments by saying the process would be driven by "substance not schedule".
And a spokesman added: "But a deal in February would pave the way for getting on with this."
Mr Cameron is trying to negotiate a "better deal" for the UK in the European Union as a prelude to holding an in-out referendum on whether the UK should remain a member.
Negotiations are focused on four key areas: economic governance, sovereignty, competitiveness and curbs on EU migration to the UK.
Both sides are insisting progress is being made but that obstacles remain, particularly in relation to the UK's proposal for EU migrants to have to wait four years before being able to claim in-work benefits.
Holding a referendum in the first half of 2016 - which senior government ministers reportedly favour - effectively hinges on the other 27 EU members agreeing to the UK's proposals next month.
Mr Tusk, the former Polish prime minister who now chairs meetings of the European Council, has raised expectations of an agreement, tweeting that he would put forward detailed proposals in the run-up to the summit.
"I will work hard for deal in February, not easy but possible," he wrote. The European Council, he added, had "demonstrated willingness to look for compromises" in all four areas without "compromising fundamental values".
He told a plenary session of the European Parliament that a set of changes allowing the UK to remain in the EU was urgently needed.
"I will do everything in my power to find a satisfactory solution, also for the British side," he told MEPs. "As of today, the result of the referendum is more unpredictable than ever before. Time is of the essence here. And this is why I will work hard to strike a deal in February."
The BBC's Brussels correspondent Ben Wright said months of intensive diplomacy between London, Brussels and EU capitals will come to a head when Mr Tusk circulates draft conclusions to which he hopes every leader will agree. While a deal was expected, he said it was not inevitable.
No 10 would not be drawn on the PM's preferred referendum date after Scottish Secretary David Mundell suggested there was no obstacle to it being held in June - a stance opposed by the SNP because of its proximity to May's elections to the Scottish Parliament.
Speaking on Tuesday, UKIP leader Nigel Farage predicted a weak compromise on the issue of migrant benefits. Citing the sexual assaults on German women in Cologne on New Year's Eve, he claimed the issue of border control and the safety of British women would be central to the referendum.

Mohsin Bhatti was stabbed several times on Botanic Avenue in January 2015.
Ahmed Noor, 33, was given an indeterminate sentence at Belfast Crown Court after admitting manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
The killer had paranoid schizophrenia and was using cannabis at the time.
A judge described the killing as a "truly horrific, unprovoked and brutal" attack on a vulnerable man.
The victim was a 29-year-old asylum seeker, originally from Pakistan.
Noor, who is originally from Somalia, was armed with two knives at the time of the killing.
The court heard that Mr Bhatti died as a result of multiple stab wounds.
The seven-month-old girl was part of a group of adults and small children in pushchairs and prams when the egg was thrown at about 14:30 on Wednesday in Pittencrief Park, Dunfermline.
Police Scotland said the infant was not injured.
Sgt Kenny Bow, of Police Scotland, said: "The fact the child was unhurt during this incident is more down to luck than judgement."
He added: "While we believe that this has been done as a prank rather than out of any malice, it is extremely dangerous to drop any item from height and the consequences could have been worse for those walking below.
"We would like to remind the public, in particular, children of the risks and consequences of such reckless behaviour.
"With it being the school holidays the Glen was extremely busy and we are appealing for anyone who may have seen the culprits, or who has any information to come forward."
The rescued migrants were in 15 vessels including toy paddleboats and a jet ski and included 35 children and a baby.
The UN says more than 9,000 people have arrived in Spain so far this year - three times as many as the previous year.
More than 120 people are believed to have drowned attempting the crossing.
The increase in crossings means Spain could overtake Greece this year in terms of the number of migrants arriving by sea, the UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM) said earlier this month.
Most are sailing across the 12km (seven-mile) Strait of Gibraltar and many are choosing cheap, child-sized paddle boats without motors that allow them to bypass people-smuggling networks and their fees.
The majority are West Africans, with Nigeria, Guinea and Ivory Coast the top countries of origin. But Bangladeshis have also been leaving North Africa in their thousands.
Unlike Syrians, Iraqis or Afghans arriving in Europe, these groups are mostly treated as economic migrants, rather than refugees.
The numbers heading for Spain are dwarfed by the boatloads that have sailed to Italy this year.
Nearly 100,000 people have crossed from Libya to Italy since the start of the year. The IOM says 2,242 people have died on that route.
In June, about 5,000 people were rescued in one day in the Mediterranean off Libya, Italian coastguards said.
But in July the number crossing to Italy dropped by 57% compared with June, according to the EU's border agency, Frontex. It was the lowest level of arrivals in July since 2014.
Frontex described three factors contributing to that fall: bad weather, clashes in areas of Libya where people-smugglers are active, and more systematic patrolling by Libyan coastguards.
Some migrants are using social media to contact the Spanish authorities and inform them of their location once they are in territorial waters, the BBC's Gavin Lee in the Spanish city of Tarifa says.
The number of migrants arriving in Spain by sea does not include those entering the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa, which are the EU's only land borders with Africa.
Both enclaves are tightly guarded, and ringed by high fences topped with razor-wire, yet migrants regularly try to storm in, usually at night.
Greece was the main Mediterranean pressure point until March 2016, when the EU reached a deal with Turkey to intercept migrant boats crossing to Greek islands near the Turkish coast.
After that, the numbers on that route dropped sharply. But tighter border controls in the Balkans also made it much harder for migrants to journey to Central Europe.
The death rate among migrants at sea is greater this year than in 2016. The Libya-Italy crossing is longer and more hazardous than the crossings to Greece or Spain.
In other developments:
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.
The remains of Catherine Burns, 29, will be returned to Clonoe, near Coalisland, County Tyrone, for reburial in the summer.
A widow, she left her native shores in 1832 with her father-in-law and many others from Tyrone. All hoped for a better life in the land of free.
However, within weeks of arriving, Catherine had disappeared - murdered while working for a US railroad.
She was among 57 Irish labourers hired to build a section of railway between Philadelphia and Columbia, a worksite that would become known as Duffy's Cut.
By the end of August 1832, all the workers were dead. Some perished due to a cholera outbreak, but most were murdered.
There are a number of theories as to why they were killed, including prejudice against Irish Catholics or a fear that they would spread cholera.
Many were buried in a mass grave and forgotten for more than a century. Catherine was buried nearby but the recent discovery of further fragments of her bones has lead to a move to have her remains returned home.
Fr Benny Fee, of St Patrick's Church, Clonoe, will preside over her funeral Mass on 19 July following her repatriation.
He said her story "touches our history with people leaving Ireland for America and their hopes and desires".
"Not everyone found its streets were paved with gold."
Emigration from Ireland began as early as 1603.
However, the period of greatest emigration began about 1780 and reached its peak from 1845 to 1855, when it is thought between one and two million people left Ireland because of the potato famine.
Fr Fee said: "There's a poignancy in it of this lovely girl who went to America hoping for a new home, a new life after her husband died, but in the words of the Christy Moore song about Duffy's Cut, she went 'into hell'.
"She was one of the few females on the ship, that's how they were able to identify her.
"She was apparently bound and died from a blow with a sharp instrument."
Duffy's Cut and its story have been brought to light over the past 12 years by brothers Frank and William Watson, a Lutheran minister and a historian at Immaculata University.
They have led a team trying to uncover what happened to those 57 workers who hail from such places as Donegal, Tyrone and Derry.
Dr Frank Watson said they had used an old railroad file inherited from their grandfather to glean information.
After the mass grave was found in 2009, they sought to have the site excavated, remains identified and the cause of the emigrants' deaths determined.
"We have now recovered six bodies and reburied five in West Lauer Hill cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania in 2012, along with one in Ardara in Donegal in 2013 (John Ruddy)," he said.
"All of those recovered to this date were murdered by blunt force trauma, and one was both axed and shot in the head. None of the murdered show defensive wounds, indicating that they may have been tied up prior to being murdered.
"On July 19 my brother Bill, Earl, and I will be travelling to Clonoe, Tyrone, to bury remains of the woman that were uncovered at Duffy's Cut named Catherine Burns (born around 1803) ."
In a further tragic twist to Catherine's story, no-one has been able to trace her family because they do not know her maiden name.
Fr Fee is also unaware of any of her relatives living in the area.
He said: "It is a cause for reflection that this lady is coming back to Tyrone. It will be a privilege to conduct the funeral.
"I want to give her the dignity and value in death that she did not have in life."

Rhodri Colwyn Philipps, 50, the 4th Viscount St Davids, wrote the message four days after Ms Miller won a Brexit legal challenge against the government in November of last year.
Lord St Davids denies three charges of making malicious communications.
He told Westminster Magistrates' Court the posts were not "menacing".
Lord St Davids, of Knightsbridge, London, wrote on the social media site on 7 November 2016: "£5,000 for the first person to 'accidentally' run over this bloody troublesome first generation immigrant."
He described her as a "boat jumper" and added: "If this is what we should expect from immigrants, send them back to their stinking jungles."
Ms Miller, 52, said she felt "violated" by his "shocking" comments about her.
Asked by the prosecution why he had used the term "immigrant", Lord St Davids told the court: "She's not part of the furniture" adding, "She's been here less than a generation."
The viscount also posted two messages referring to immigrants as "monkeys".
In one post, not directed at Ms Miller, he said: "Please will someone smoke this ghastly insult to this country, why should I pay tax to feed these monkeys?"
Ms Miller led the successful legal challenge which, on 3 November, ruled the government had to consult Parliament before formally beginning the Brexit process.
Ms Miller - who was born in Guyana - told the court she had been the subject of death threats since her role in the Article 50 case.
In a statement read to the court, she said she was "very scared for the safety of herself and her family".
"In addition to finding it offensive, racist and hateful, she was extremely concerned that someone would threaten to have her run over for a bounty," prosecutor Philip Stott said.
"She took the threat seriously, and it contributed to her employing professional security for her protection."
Lord St Davids, who was defending himself, accepted writing the posts but told the court they were not publicly visible or menacing.
"If you're in the public eye, people are going to say nasty things about you. It's the rough and tumble of public life," he said.
He insisted he is not racist and told the court: "I know a number of Muslims who are dear friends.
"My own mother is an immigrant from the very same continent (as Ms Miller)."
The case was adjourned until Tuesday afternoon when a verdict is expected.
The Irish Premiership side were embarrassingly humbled 3-2 by the County Armagh minnows who are bottom of Championship One without a point.
Glentoran said ex-Middlesborough and Manchester City player Kernaghan, 49, tendered his resignation afterwards.
Former manager Roy Coyle has taken temporary charge of the Belfast team.
The Glens lie eighth in the Premiership table, with two wins and three defeats from their opening five fixtures.
The East Belfast outfit narrowly missed out on qualification for the Europa League last season, losing 3-2 to Cliftonville in a play-off for the final place in the European competition.
Kernaghan, who has managed Clyde and Dundee, had only been in charge at the Oval for nine months, having been appointed in November 2015 following Eddie Patterson's dismissal.
Glentoran were the only top flight team to lose in Tuesday's second round matches, the other 11 all seeing off lower-ranked opponents.
Immediately after the shock defeat by Annagh, Kernaghan spoke to Radio Ulster's Sportsound and indicated he would be remaining in charge.
"It is a results business and I understand that, and we have had two or three poor results," he said.
"Tonight our performance was better than it has been, but our problem all season has been scoring goals.
"I feel the fans' frustration more than they would believe.
"They vented their feelings in an audible manner, but I cannot do that. I have to try to keep the players going and motivate them.
"That is my job and that is what I am doing."
The East Belfast club's next fixture is away to Ards in the Danske Bank Premiership on 10 September.
More than 1,600 fish were killed after a chemical leaked into Annsborough River, near Newcastle, on Saturday.
NI Water's head of environmental regulation, Angela Halpenny, said her company was "extremely sorry to learn of this very unfortunate incident".
Angler Ed Kilgore said local clubs had been "robbed of this season's fishing".
The Shinma Angling Club committee member said it was "horrible to see so many fish dead".
Mr Kilgore expressed fears that despite plans to restock, fishing and the health of the river could be affected "for the next three years".
Ms Halpenny said the accidental spillage may have been caused by damaged pipe work.
"When we purify waste water, we generate a very thin sludge, so before the sludge is transported off site we use a chemical called polyelectrolyte," she told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
Polyelectrolyte is used to thicken the sludge before it is removed from the waste water plant.
Ms Halpenny said an "unknown quantity" of the chemical leaked into the river at the weekend.
"Our primary concern was to stop the discharge to the river and assist the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) and the relevant authorities with the clean up exercise," she said.
She added that a full investigation was under way to find out why the spill happened and to prevent any repeat.
"NI Water will work with NIEA, the relevant authorities and the local angling groups to fulfill our obligations and make arrangements for the restocking of the river at the earliest opportunity."
"There is no life but family," wrote Aboriginal poet Ali Cobby Eckermann in her debut collection, Little Bit Long Time, published in 2009. "When I am drunk I reverse-charge my family. When I pass away I unite my family."
Living in a caravan in a friend's back garden in Adelaide, Ms Cobby Eckermann has received one of the world's richest literary awards.
Forcibly taken from her mother when she was a young child, she has won a $162,000 (£132,000; A$215,000) Windham-Campbell prize from Yale University in the United States. It has commended her for confronting "the violent history of Australia's Stolen Generations" and her "use of nature to render the beauty of Aboriginal family bonds, as well as the pain and violence of their breaking".
The Windham-Campbell prizes are unusual because writers, who are nominated confidentially, invariably have little clue they are being considered for one.
"It seemed unbelievable," Ms Cobby Eckermann said of her unexpected achievement. "There have been so many tears of disbelief and tears of gratitude that my work is recognised. Now I just want to write and write and write! I've got a few more things to say."
Born in 1963, in Kate Cocks Memorial Babies' Home at Brighton in South Australia, she was taken as an infant from mother, Audrey Cobby, a Yankunytjatjara woman, and adopted into a German Lutheran family. She had a mostly happy childhood on a farm, but it would be years before she would be reunited with her birth mother.
"Part of the skill [of writing] comes from nearly 20 years of looking for my mum. You talk to anyone from any walk of life and I've always been a bit of a chatterbox and I like meeting people. It has definitely been an asset to writing," she explained to the BBC.
Family ties and kinship lie at her inspirational core.
"My whole family has helped me understand who I am when we reconnected," she said. "They have sat beside me in the desert and the backyard around campfires listening to my poetry and giving me feedback."
"I would hear stories and I might sit there quietly and write a poem. Then we'd read it back in the evening and we'd all celebrate that [indigenous] oral tradition was not losing its power by being transferred to the page," she said.
Her 2013 memoir Too Afraid to Cry has been described as "a narrative of good and evil, terror and happiness, despair and courage". It retraces the author's steps as a child spirited away from her indigenous mother, and a fraught journey into adulthood.
The book, along with a later collection of poems Inside My Mother, condemned Australia's policy of removing Aboriginal children from their parents to place them in orphanages, institutions or white foster families that stretched from the late 19th Century to the end of 1960s. While it has been argued there were genuine welfare reasons for taking the vulnerable to a place of safety, indigenous Australians believe it was child abduction on a mass scale.
"Her work… powerfully articulates Australian indigenous peoples' experience of colonisation and the trauma suffered by the Stolen Generations. Her work is deeply personal but also speaks to a collective experience," said Rachel Bin Salleh, from Magabala Books, which published Ms Cobby Eckermann's 2012 award-winning verse novel, Ruby Moonlight.
"She is one of the most significant writers in Australia and Magabala Books is very honoured to have been part of her journey," she told the BBC. "Ali has inspired and mentored many emerging indigenous writers and poets in Australia. Not only does it prove that, with time, true talent will be recognised, but also there is a place for Australian indigenous stories on the world stage."
The Windham-Campbell prizes will be awarded at Yale in September. As her achievement sinks in, Australia's newest literary star is already deciding what to do with her windfall.
"I'd like to use it to help purchase a property by the beach for my son and daughter and grandchildren to share, and for the desert mob to come down and have somewhere safe to stay. So much fun in just the thought of that," she said.
"The money also allows me to challenge my own journey as a writer. I want to attempt a novel. I've been sitting on a story for a while which I think is very important."
Despite the accolade and the international attention that comes with it, Ms Cobby Eckermann has insisted she'll remain humble.
"My influence will always be grassroots people and cultured people who still find the happiness in everyday - don't need money, we just need to know who we are and the strength of family," she said.
"That is the stuff that will always live in my heart."
The 14-time major champion was two over par when he abandoned his first round after just 11 holes.
The 39-year-old American spoke to his playing partners before walking off the course and into a waiting car.
His early departure comes after he shot a career-worst 82 in the second round at Phoenix last week.
Woods was playing in only his second tournament of the season after returning from surgery on a pinched nerve, which forced him to miss last year's Masters and US Open.
He appeared to hurt his back after hitting his tee shot at the 12th - his third hole of the day - but carried on for eight more holes.
His struggles were made more evident when playing partners Rickie Fowler and Billy Horschel both helped him pick his ball out of holes.
In a brief word with reporters, Woods said his lower back got tight during a fog delay that suspended play for more than two hours.
"My glutes keep shutting off and that causes me pain in my back," he said. "It got worse as we stood waiting on the putting green during the delay and I tried warming up my glutes, but it just wasn't working for me.
"When we went back out, it just got progressively worse."

The country has come through a lengthy political wrangle over the role and power of the hereditary monarchy.
After an often bitter campaign, the people voted in March 2003 in a constitutional referendum to give Prince Hans-Adam sweeping new political powers. The following year he handed over practical power to his son, Crown Prince Alois.
Head of state: Prince Hans-Adam II
Regent and crown prince: Alois
Prince Hans-Adam, a successful banker, became head of state following the death of his father, Prince Franz Josef, in 1989. In August 2004 he handed over the day-to-day running of the principality to his son, Crown Prince Alois, while remaining titular head of state.
In 2003 the royals won sweeping new powers in a constitutional referendum, which gave them the power to veto parliamentary decisions and to sack the government.
Prime minister: Adrian Hasler
Adrian Hasler of the centre-right Progressive Citizens Party (PCP) took office in March 2013, after his party came first in the February general election, winning 10 seats in the 25-seat parliament.
He has vowed to reduce the country's budget deficit by cutting back on public spending.
Liechtenstein has a very sparse media scene, with the circulation figures of its newspapers at around 10,000 or less.

They say Mohamed Abrini told investigators he was at the scene of the 22 March suicide bombings.
Abrini is also wanted in connection with the attacks in Paris that killed 130 people in November.
He is one of six men arrested in Brussels on Friday. Four have been charged with terror offences.
The attacks at Zaventem airport and a metro station in Brussels left 32 people dead.
Officials believe those who carried out the Brussels and Paris attacks were part of the same network backed by so-called Islamic State.
Abrini, a 31-year-old Belgian of Moroccan origin, confessed to being the "man in the hat" after being confronted with the evidence, the federal prosecutor said.
"He said that he threw away his jacket in a rubbish bin and sold his hat after the attack," the statement added.
There is no word from the suspect himself or his lawyer.
Abrini's fingerprints and DNA were found in two "safe houses" in Brussels, as well as in a car used during the Paris attacks, investigators said earlier.
The BBC's Damian Grammaticas, in Brussels, says the apparent confirmation that Abrini is the man seen in the airport footage is a "huge" development for Belgian authorities, whose response to terrorism has come in for criticism.
The other suspects charged on Saturday were named as Osama K, Herve BN, and Bilal EM.
They are all accused of "participating in terrorist acts'' linked to the Brussels bombings. Two other people arrested on Friday have been released.
Osama K, identified in media reports as Swedish national Osama Krayem, was the man seen with the suicide bomber at Maelbeek metro station just before the attack on 22 March, investigators say.
They also say that he bought bags used by the two bombers who struck at Zaventem airport on the same day.
Osama K is believed to have entered Greece from Syria with migrants last year, using a fake Syrian passport. Prosecutors believe he was driven from Germany to Belgium by Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam in October.
Herve BM, described as a Rwandan national, and Bilal EM are both suspected of having offered assistance to Abrini and Osama K.
Abrini is thought to have been filmed at a petrol station with Abdeslam two days before the attacks in Paris in November.
Abdeslam, a Belgian-born French national of Moroccan descent, was detained in Brussels in March, days before the attacks in the Belgian capital.
The latest charges follow days of arrests and raids in Brussels.
On Saturday, heavily armed police carried out a search in the Etterbeek area of Brussels. The target was a flat which police believe may have been used as a safe house by the militants.
Ireland started with purpose but went behind when Antonio Cassano headed in a near post Andrea Pirlo corner.
An equaliser would have knocked Italy out and their keeper Gianluigi Buffon smartly saved a Keith Andrews strike.
"I hope there are no dramatic changes for the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign, because you have to remember what a brilliant achievement it was for us to get here in the first place.
"But my fear is what could happen to Giovanni Trapattoni.
"His team has not had the best of tournaments, and if we do not start out well on the road to the next World Cup in Brazil then I fear that people might turn on him."
I fear for Trapattoni, says Kevin Kilbane
Andrews was sent off for a second booking before Mario Balotelli volleyed in to settle Italian nerves.
Italy still had to endure a few more anxious moments as a Croatia equaliser against Spain in the other Group C game would have meant they were out of the tournament.
But Spain won and Italy will now play the winner of Group D, which includes England.
Ireland put in a more solid performance than in their two previous defeats, although it might not be enough to stop some of their old guard calling time on their international careers, and Shay Given, Robbie Keane, Damien Duff and Richard Dunne will all be left to mull over their futures.
The Irish had beaten Italy 18 years ago to the day at the 1994 World Cup but despite starting with pace and pressuring their opponents, they suffered from some poor decision making in the final third.
Italy weathered the Republic's early enthusiasm before gradually pinning their opponents back and being rewarded for their perseverance.
The opener came after some costly mistakes by Ireland, which started with Glenn Whelan giving the ball away to Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo.
Pirlo released Antonio Di Natale and he skipped over keeper Given but saw his effort from an acute angle cleared off the line by Sean St Ledger.
Ireland escaped this time but Given, so unusually uncertain at Euro 2012, quickly spilled a long range Cassano strike and the Azzurri seized on the error.
Cassano got his head to a near post Pirlo corner and although Given got a touch, the ball had already crossed the line before Duff - captain on his 100th Republic appearance - cleared.
The goal knocked the wind out of Ireland's sails and Given had to save a Di Natale shot as Italy threatened to overwhelm Giovanni Trapattoni's deflated side.
To their credit, the Republic regrouped and caused Italy some anxious moments, although only a powerful 25-yard shot from Andrews called Buffon into any serious action.
Andrews, already booked in the first half, was sent off after picking up a second yellow card.
He then furiously kicked out at the ball on his way off as he epitomised the frustrations of so many in the Ireland camp after a tournament in which they were comprehensively outplayed.
And Ireland's misery was compounded when Balotelli, side on to goal and with a defender in close attendance, volleyed in from a late corner.

Robert Fidler built the home at Honeycrock Farm, in Salfords, Surrey, in 2002 and hid it behind hay bales.
He has been fighting to keep it ever since but in April lost an appeal against a High Court order that it should be demolished by 24 June.
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council said planners would be considering the council's next course of action.
The four-bedroom property, on greenbelt land, includes a kitchen, living room, study, a gravelled forecourt and a conservatory.
Mr Fidler, who keeps a herd of Sussex cattle at the farm, submitted a new planning application in February 2014 to retain the house, in Axes Lane, on the basis of agricultural need.
Permission was refused and the case, once again, went to the High Court.
An injunction last June ordered the house to be demolished.
"As Mr Fidler has not complied with the injunction, the planning committee will be considering the council's next course of action at their meeting on 1 July," said a council spokesman.
Mr Fidler said in April he accepted he had no choice but to demolish the house but said on Friday it would be like Picasso ripping up his best oil painting.
He also said he had sold his home to an Indian businessman.
"The greenbelt law says that any new house should not be allowed unless there are very special circumstances," he said.
"The example that Parliament gives for very special circumstances is a farmer who has to be here to look after his cattle, which is exactly my situation."
The 36-year-old returns to Rugby Park for a second spell, having left the club in July 2007 to move to England.
Greer spent last season at Blackburn Rovers, making 25 appearances as the club was relegated to League One.
Killie captain Stevie Smith said: "Gordon is a really nice guy, but he obviously has really high standards."
He becomes Kilmarnock's 10th signing of the summer and Smith is pleased with the changes.
"The signings we made have brought a bit experience into the team, which was needed," said the 31-year-old full-back.
"I don't think the balance of the squad has been right for a few years.
"The manager has tried to address that by signing the likes of Kirk Broadfoot, Gordon Greer, Chris Burke and even Lee Erwin has played in the division as well."
Greer's first period at Rugby Park came in 2004 and he left for Doncaster Rovers three years later.
A loan spell, and then a permanent move, to Swindon Town followed before Greer joined Brighton & Hove Albion, where he was appointed club captain.
His season was ended by injury in February and he was released at the end of the season, but Smith has been impressed by the veteran's professionalism.
"You can tell by the way he has looked after himself," he said. "He does everything properly off the pitch.
"The new players have all played at a really good level, some of them at international level, so you don't have to worry about their standards.
"There still is a lot of young players at Kilmarnock, which is great. Everyone wants to see that.
"But having guys who have played at a really high level about the club and the standards they set personally helps everyone."
Smith thinks the arrival of Greer, fellow defender Broadfoot and winger Burke would help reduce the burden of being captain.
"It is good to have them because we had me, Kris Boyd and Jamie McDonald recently who were the experienced guys," he added.
"But this might take a bit of pressure off us because there isn't just one or two people saying, 'This is what you need to do off the field, you need to prepare right' - there are seven or eight saying it, so it is good for us to have them."

The courts were set up to speed up the prosecution of hundreds of thousands of genocide suspects awaiting trial.
Human rights group say the gacaca fell well short of international legal standards.
About 65% of the close to two million people tried have been found guilty, according to latest government figures.
Rwanda's legal system was left in ruins after the massacres by ethnic Hutu militia and soldiers of some 800,000 minority Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus in 100 days between April and June 1994.
The UN's International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda was set up in neighbouring Tanzania to try the ringleaders of the genocide - it has convicted 54 people and acquitted eight so far. It is due to be closed down at the end of the year.
But this left hundreds of thousands of people accused of involvement in the killings, leading to an enormous backlog of cases in Rwanda.
Correspondents say up to 10,000 people died in prison before they could be brought to justice.
Community courts were set up to clear the backlog - and once a week the so-called gacaca met in villages across the country, often outdoors in a marketplace or under a tree.
The BBC's Prudent Nsengiyumva in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, says one of the main aims of the gacaca was to achieve truth, justice and reconciliation among Rwandans. Gacaca means to sit down and discuss an issue.
The hearings gave communities a chance to face the accused and give evidence about what really happened and how it happened.
Our correspondent says many people in Rwanda say this process have helped to mend the wounds of the past.
But the use of traditional grassroots courts to try complex genocide cases was also controversial - previously the gacaca had only been used to settle local disputes.
More than 160,000 judges were elected from among communities - but they lacked legal qualifications.
The Rwandan government says about two million people went through the gacaca system - final official figures about how many were found guilty are yet to be released, but data from two years ago points to a conviction rate of about 65%.
Some of those found guilty have been sentenced to long jail sentences, with hard labour.
Others have been released and sent back to help rebuild communities - and this has brought its own problems, legal experts say.
"Survivors are worried about their security because they are living side by side with those who had wanted to previously exterminate them," Albert Gasake, the Legal Advocacy Project Coordinator at the Survivors' Fund Organisation told the BBC's Network Africa programme.
"Suspicion is very high," Mr Gasake said.
He also says failure to compensate survivors for the loss of their properties poses another threat to genuine reconciliation.
Our reporter says most Rwandans do not openly criticise the gacaca system.
But local and international human rights groups have expressed concern about its fairness because trials were held without defendants having access to qualified lawyers.
The courts' closure leaves many unanswered questions, our correspondent says.
Human rights groups are asking why some members of the ruling RPF party never had to face the gacaca courts.
"It's flattering being connected with international cricket again," Jarvis, 28, told BBC Radio Lancashire. "But I'm a contracted Lancashire player until 2018. I'm not looking past that."
Lancashire last week confirmed interest in Middlesex and England's Steven Finn.
"We had 28 days' notice," head coach Glen Chapple told BBC Radio Manchester.
"He's in the last year of his contract. But we have not had contact since then. It is very early days."
Jarvis has won eight Test caps for Zimbabwe, as well as playing in 24 one-day internationals, but ended his international career to join Lancashire in 2013 as a non-overseas player under the Kolpak ruling.
Should he play for Zimbabwe again, he would lose Kolpak status and could only return to Lancashire as an overseas player.
After opening the bowling with England's all-time record wicket taker Jimmy Anderson at the start of the summer, Jarvis's season was hampered by a broken thumb. But, while Anderson remains away on international duty, Jarvis has continued to do well in tandem with South African Ryan McLaren.
Jarvis has now taken six-wicket hauls in consecutive Lancashire games, including the current Championship match against Warwickshire at Old Trafford - to take his haul to 148 first-class wickets in his 39 matches for the Red Rose since his debut in September 2013.
"I knew I had this to give in my first year," he said. "Unfortunately, it didn't go that way. I learnt and I think I became a better bowler for it. These last couple of years have been brilliant.
"Unfortunately I've not played the amount of cricket I wanted this year due to a broken thumb and sitting out the T20s but that's the way it goes.
"My first and main priority is that I want to win Division One. That's what I've always set out to do here. Right now, that's my focus.
"I've won a second division trophy, I've won the T20 Blast, but this is the main one. I'd love to win a Championship with Lancashire. We've won one in the last 77 years and it would be extremely special.
"Old Trafford is renowned for having a very flat pitch, but we've managed to bowl teams out cheaply and I'm very happy. I'm loving my cricket here. It's a second home to me."
Kyle Jarvis and Glen Chapple were talking to BBC Radio Manchester's Scott Read.
As such, Groupsmore may be Malaysia's poster child.
"We have a million subscribers and even my mom uses it," says Joel Neoh, the 28-year-old head of the Malaysian internet trading firm that was recently acquired by the US-based internet giant Groupon for an undisclosed amount.
The idea behind Groupsmore - or Groupon Malaysia as it is now called - is simple: buying in bulk yields better discounts.
Mr Neoh's company asks local businesses to offer discounts, sometimes up to 90%, in return for a certain guaranteed number of customers. The deals are activated once enough people agree to buy online.
"We've made Groupon a household name in Kuala Lumpur," says Mr Neoh.
GroupsMore's staff has grown from eight to 120 in about a year, and the growth is set to continue with plans in place to expand beyond Kuala Lumpur into states across Malaysia.
"It's about building the ecosystem around people," says Mr Neoh, "not so much about building towers and good looking buildings and fast internet infrastructure.
Groupsmore's success as a home-grown start-up company is deemed inspiring by the Malaysian government, so it is eager to replicate it as part of efforts to shift towards a knowledge-based economy.
But it may not be as easy as it looks, according to Mr Neoh.
During the company's early phase, before the Groupon acquisition, it was difficult to recruit the right people, he says.
"All of the smartest people I studied with were in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia," he says.
"So the scene here is a lack of quality people."
Jawed Karim, the co-founder of YouTube, agrees that it may well be difficult to replicate Silicon Valley's success here in Malaysia.
"What makes Silicon Valley the innovation centre it is are the types of creative minds who set up there," he says.
"Without that pool of talent, it's hard to attract more.
"Even the United States has been unable to replicate a Silicon Valley outside of California."
In Malaysia's case, the problem appears to be brain drain caused by a controversial policy based on race, according to the World Bank.
Historically, Malaysians of Chinese and Indian descent have tended to be richer than the ethnic Malay-majority.
In an effort to address this, the government has prioritised Malays when allocating university scholarships and government contracts.
Opposition parties say this policy has made Chinese and Indian Malaysians feel like second class citizens, so many of them have left.
Some 300,000 highly educated ethnic minorities left Malaysia during the last decade, according to the World Bank.
Malaysia's government is now actively trying to recruit these people back by offering incentives such as tax breaks and long-term employment visas for foreign spouses.
They are also trying to retain talent by tailoring the training in universities to ensure employers get the kind of skills they need.
At the same time, the government has come up with various initiatives to fund and drive the hi-tech sector.
This might seem like a good initiative, but such reliance on the government is instead part of the problem, according to Low Huoi Seong of content provider Vision New Media.
"The government has been expected to do too much or government is expecting itself to do too much," he says.
In spite of such gloom, Asia's potential is great, according to venture capitalist Saad Khan from Silicon Valley-based CMEA Capital.
Asia is already leading in gaming and virtual goods, so the next growth market will be the delivery of goods and services in a region where millions of people are just entering the middle class, he says.
"I don't think that innovation is going to come from the US," he says.
"I think it will come from places like here [in Asia] where you're up close and personal, where you know the people, where you know how to sell low cost cell phones, and where you know how to manufacture from that perspective.
"I know the next generation of success is not going to be in the [Silicon] Valley," he says.
The 23-year-old joined the Nethermoor Park side on a three-month loan deal in September and has made 12 appearances for the National League strugglers.
The Lions are bottom of the table, four points adrift of safety.
"We've been really impressed with Jon while he's been with us so we were keen to get him under permanent contract," football secretary Adie Towers said.
Police carried out searches across the county and on the rail network after a suspicious death was reported at a property in Benenden on Thursday.
Kent Police named the woman as Caroline Andrews, 52, and said they were now treating her death as a murder.
Officers said the detained man, 54, was found in the London area and taken to hospital for treatment to injuries.
"A post-mortem examination of Mrs Andrews took place earlier today and the death is now being treated as a murder enquiry," a Kent Police spokeswoman said.
A police cordon remains in place outside the property, which is off the village's main street.
Mrs Andrews worked as a supply teacher at Benenden CE School in the village.
Head teacher Gill Knox said staff had been left shocked and saddened.
She said: "Caroline and her family live in the village and are well known to the school.
"Caroline has been a loved and well-respected supply teacher here for a number of years, who has enriched the lives of the many children she has taught.
"At the present time, we cannot comment on what has happened but our thoughts and prayers are with her family, and all who knew her and will miss her."
Neighbour Derek Catlin described Mrs Andrews and her family as "normal, very pleasant people".
He said Thursday was quiet in the village but police arrived at about 16:30 GMT with "an accumulation of police vehicles - probably three police cars".
Another Benenden resident, Karen Callaghan, said: "It's very sad for the village. Everyone knows everyone round here. The locals have been here a long time."
During the search, armed officers boarded a train in Gillingham.
Armed police held a train at Gillingham station for more than 90 minutes from about 21:00 GMT on Thursday.
Footage showed officers walking down the carriage holding guns, with one distressed passenger demanding to be let off.
Director Julian Temple's Keith Richards - The Origin Of The Species will look at the guitarist's pre-Stones life as part of BBC Two's My Generation season.
Richards said it looked at an era when it felt like "time to push limits".
The 72-year-old will also "hand-pick" two nights of films and live performances on BBC Four.
Keith Richards' Lost Weekend will run in September and feature an interview with the Rolling Stone each night, in which he will explain his selections.
Describing Richards as an "avatar of rebellion, buccaneer, soul survivor, as well as the coolest dude on the planet", the BBC said Temple's film would be broadcast in July.
Temple said the 60-minute documentary would explore how both Richards "and the '60s in England came about".
Richards said he was "heavily" into model airplanes as a child, but was not very successful at building them, adding with a laugh that he "liked the glue".
He said during the late 1950s, "there was a feeling that there was a change coming".
"[Prime Minister] Harold Macmillan actually said it - the 'winds of change' and all that - but he didn't mean it in quite the same way.
"I certainly felt that for my generation, the feeling in the air was - it's time to push limits. The world is ours now and you can rise or fall on it."
The BBC's head of music TV commissioning, Jan Younghusband, said Richards was an "outstanding talent and an inspiration to us all".
"We are thrilled to be able to bring his unique and entertaining insights to our audience.
"I know it will be a totally original experience."

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accepted Mr Davutoglu's gesture but asked him to stay in the post until a new government was formed.
Mr Erdogan is now expected to give Mr Davutoglu the difficult task of forming a new coalition government.
Sunday's result dealt a blow to the president's plans to boost his powers.
The two men met on Tuesday in the capital, Ankara, to discuss the future of the government after the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party lost its majority in parliament for the first time in 13 years.
It secured 41%, a sharp drop from 2011, and is now likely to try to form a coalition, although no party has yet indicated it is willing to join forces with the AKP.
Accepting Mr Davutoglu's resignation, Mr Erdogan expressed his thanks for the PM's services and asked him to continue to serve until a new government was established, according to a statement on the president's website (in Turkish).
The move is a political formality, and Mr Davutoglu's future remains unclear.
After the official final result is declared, the AK Party will have 45 days to form a new government.
Opposition parties are likely to demand limits on President Erdogan's role.
If no deal is reached on a coalition, a fragile minority government and early elections loom.
Mr Erdogan had been seeking a two-thirds majority to turn Turkey into a presidential republic, but his Islamist-rooted AK Party fell short.
The pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP) upset his ambitions by crossing the 10% threshold, securing seats in parliament for the first time.
In a separate development on Tuesday four people were shot dead when violence erupted in Turkey's mainly Kurdish south-eastern city of Diyarbakir.
Clashes reportedly broke out after the head of a charity linked to a Kurdish Islamist party, Huda Par, was killed.
Correspondents says relations are tense between supporters of Huda Par and the HDP, which condemned the attack.
Three people were killed and scores injured in a bomb attack on a pre-election HDP rally in Diyarbakir last Friday.
It is not clear who was behind either attack.
Under the new rules, the fund will be allowed to invest up to 30% of its net assets in domestically-listed shares.
China's main pension fund holds 3.5tn yuan ($548bn; £349bn), Xinhua said.
The move is the latest attempt by the Chinese government to arrest the slide in the country's stock market.
The fund will be allowed to invest not just in shares but in a range of market instruments, including derivatives. By increasing demand for them, the government hopes prices will rise.
The Shanghai Composite Index closed down more than 4% on Friday after figures showed monthly factory activity contracting at its fastest pace in six years.
It capped a tough few days for Chinese investors, with the index down 12% on the week. Chinese shares are now down more than 30% since the middle of June.
Earlier this month, the Chinese central bank devalued the yuan in an attempt to boost exports.
These measures come against a backdrop of slowing economic growth in China. In the second quarter of this year, the country's economy grew by 7% - its slowest pace for six years.
Last year, the economy grew at its slowest pace since 1990.
Fears of a prolonged slowdown have also hit global stock markets, with US and leading European indexes posting heavy losses last week.
The India-born 37-year-old played two one-day internationals and a Twenty20 match for the Proteas in 2007.
The match-fixing charges relate to the 2015 Ram Slam T20 Challenge Series.
Five of those 20 years are suspended on condition that Bodi, a left-arm wrist-spinner, commits no further offences.
Cricket South Africa said "a lengthy ban was appropriate".
CSA chief executive Haroon Lorgat added: "Our attitude to corruption will always be one of zero tolerance.
"There is no doubt that Mr Bodi's actions have threatened the integrity and image of the game that we love and he must be handed a strong punishment. He accepts the folly of his actions."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan says Bodi should have been kicked out of cricket to send a message to other corrupt players.
"If you are found guilty of corruption, the only way to stamp it out and to set the precedent of everyone in the game of cricket is to give a life ban," he told the BBC's cricket programme Test Match Special.
"That's the only thing that would send a shockwave through the game."
Vaughan says Pakistan's Mohammad Amir should have been suspended for life not given a five-year ban after being found guilt of spot-fixing.
Bentancur, 19, was in Turin on Monday to have a medical before joining the Serie A leaders.
The Uruguay Under-20 international is a product of Argentine club Boca Juniors' youth team.
Juventus negotiated a purchase option on Bentancur when striker Carlos Tevez moved back to Boca Juniors from the Turin club in June 2015.
Juve are six points clear at the top of the table with eight games remaining as they chase a sixth successive Serie A title.
Massimiliano Allegri's side are also in the quarter-finals of the Champions League where they face Barcelona over two legs on 11 and 19 April.
There was an 8% rise in the number of people attending emergency departments from 24 December to 3 January compared to the same period last year.
More than a third of patients were not seen within the four-hour target.
That means they were not triaged, treated and either admitted or discharged within four hours.
The pressure was most acute in Antrim Area Hospital, where 198 people waited for 12 hours while 128 patients had to wait the same period of time at the Ulster.
In Craigavon Hospital, 71 people faced a 12-hour wait, while in at The Royal Victoria Hospital it was 53.
According to figures released by the Health and Social Care Board (HSC), the percentage of patients seen within the target four-hour period was:
While Emergency Departments remain busy, the commitment and professionalism of staff across the health and social care system had led to an improving situation, said an HSC Board spokesperson.
"The public can also assist us by only attending an Emergency Department if their condition is urgent, so helping to ensure that the sickest patients get the care they need," said the spokesperson.
"We would urge people to consider other care options available to them such as their GP, nearest Minor Injury Unit or local pharmacy if their symptoms are not urgent.
"Patients who present at Emergency Departments will always be dealt with in order of clinical priority, so more acutely ill patients will be seen first.
"It is regrettable that some people are having to wait longer to be treated in Emergency Departments or to be admitted to hospital at this time."
Tests on mice, published in the journal Nature Medicine, showed that a high-fibre diet could reduce inflammation in the lungs.
The extra fibre changed the nutrients being absorbed from the gut, which in turn altered the immune system.
The researchers argue the shift to processed foods may explain why more people are developing asthma.
The airways are more sensitive to irritation and more likely to become inflamed in people with asthma.
It leads to a narrowing of the airways that make it harder to breathe.
However, a possible solution may lie in another organ, the gut, and the bacteria which live there.
The cells of the human body are vastly outnumbered by the trillions of microbes that live in and on it.
There is growing evidence that these bacteria have a significant impact on health.
A team at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland showed that the high and low fibre diets altered the types of bacteria living in the guts of the mice.
Bacteria which can munch on soluble fibre, the type found in fruit and vegetables, flourished on the high-fibre diet and they in turn produced more short-chain fatty acids - a type of fat, which is absorbed into the blood.
The scientists said these fatty acids acted as signals to the immune system and resulted in the lungs being more resistant to irritation.
The opposite happened in low-fibre diets and the mice became more vulnerable to asthma.
Their report argued that a dietary shift away from fibre in favour of processed foods may be involved in rising levels of asthma.
It said: "In recent decades, there has been a well-documented increase in the incidence of allergic asthma in developed countries and coincident with this increase have been changes in diet, including reduced consumption of fibre."
One of the researchers Dr Benjamin Marsland said some of the differences caused by high-fibre diets have already been observed in people by comparing diets in Europe and Burkina Faso.
He told the BBC: "There's a very high probability it works in humans, the basic principle of fibre being converted to short-chain fatty acids is known.
"But we don't know what amount of fibre would be needed and the concentrations of short-chain fatty acids required might be different.
"It is early days, but the implications could be far reaching."
The team in Lausanne are also investigating the role of diet in long-term lung inflammation such as COPD, which is set to become the world's third biggest killer.
An alternative to tweaking diets is giving the purified fatty acids themselves as a dietary supplement.
This worked in mice, but Dr Marsland warns there "certainly needs to be more work" before this is suggested in people.
Governors at six "reform prisons" in England will be given direct control.
Such freedoms for governors should be part of a modern justice system, the Prison Reform Trust said.
But the government must also address "real problems within prisons", the Prison Officers' Association warned.
Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, welcomed the government's new focus.
"For far too long prisons have been our most neglected, least visible public service," she said.
"More freedom for governors, long overdue access to modern IT, sensible plans for release on temporary licence and constructive use of tagging to curtail liberty should all be part of a modern justice system."
But she stressed the most pressing priority was to restore prison safety and stem a "catastrophic rise" in suicides, violence and disorder.
"Reform will run into the sand unless government is prepared to tackle prison numbers and introduce major sentencing reform as part of its groundbreaking Prisons Bill," she said.
Under the Prisons and Courts Reform Bill:
The prisons are:
The prime minister first outlined plans to give prison governors "complete control" over their prisons in February.
The education plans follow an independent review of prison education by former head teacher Dame Sally Coates.
BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw
The prison reform plans were first outlined by David Cameron in February - and the concerns remain the same now as they were then.
How can such changes have a meaningful impact on rehabilitation, education and reoffending when so many jails are struggling simply to maintain order and stability?
If successful, the greater freedom governors will have, and the incentives on offer for improved performance, may help drive down recidivism levels and, as a result, reduce the overall prison population.
But there are so many factors that affect whether a prisoner steers clear of crime after release - family support, housing, employment to name a few - that there can be no guarantee that the changes to the way prisons are managed will be successful.
The Prison Officers' Association, the sector's union, said it was "still questioning" what freedom for governors really meant.
But it said it would "engage" with any new freedoms. Prison regimes had to tackle the "unprecedented" rise in violence, self-harming and deaths, a statement said.
Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, welcomed more autonomy for governors but said the success of the reforms would depend on the government driving down prisoner numbers.
The Prison Governors' Association said most governors were in favour of having greater autonomy but some feared that, without increased resources in prisons, they could be "held accountable for matters outside of their control".
Labour's shadow justice secretary, Charles Falconer, said the government had failed "every time" at reforming prisons in the past.
Instead prisons have become "dangerously overcrowded with rising levels of violence, drug abuse and serious assaults on staff", he said.
Of the six prisons pinpointed, inspectors have warned that Ranby prison is at risk of being overwhelmed by the supply of legal highs. A a prisoner was murdered at Coldingley in April.
Chief inspector: 'Some prisons not fit for purpose'
Rapt, a charity which helps prisoners give up drugs and crime, welcomed the changes but said it was "critical" to improve education and tackle the issues of drugs, mental health and violence.
It said 33% of businesses in Wales have access to sell goods and services online compared to the UK average of 39%.
Business Minister Edwina Hart said the Welsh government was working with the internet company to help small businesses "access new markets".
The first event was held in Cardiff.
Ms Hart and Dan Cobley, Google UK managing director, addressed about 400 delegates at the first free conference and launch event at the Coal Exchange on Tuesday.
Mr Cobley said: "Together with the Welsh government and other partners we want Welsh businesses of all sizes to understand the importance of the internet and how easy it is to get online and contribute to the economic growth of the Welsh economy."
Google UK plans to train digital agencies across Wales to deliver training and workshops once the initial three month campaign has ended.
Its travelling "Juice Bar" will offer free one-on-one digital health checks and workshops, tutorials and hands-on advice to small business owners, including how to acquire a web presence or improve the one they already have
Ms Hart said "diverse and thriving" small to medium-sized businesses have the potential to be a "driving force for economic recovery".
"By working with Google on this exciting initiative, we will be helping and educating many of these small businesses to access the type of support and advice they need to access new markets and opportunities to reach new internet customers across the UK and beyond," she said.
The Cardiff event will be followed by others in Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Newport, Swansea and Wrexham.
Other partners involved include the Institute of Directors in Wales and South Wales Chamber of Commerce. | Businesswoman Gina Miller has said she felt "violated" after an aristocrat wrote a Facebook post offering a bounty for her to be run over.

Mark Reilly and two other colleagues are also suspected of bribing government officials in Beijing and Shanghai, they said.
Police have handed the case over to prosecutors, officials said.
GSK said it took the allegations "very seriously" and would co-operate with the authorities over the matter.
Chinese authorities announced in July last year that they were investigating GSK, detaining four Chinese GSK executives.
The police ministry accused Mr Reilly, the company's former head of China operations, of personally running a "massive bribery network".
By John SudworthBBC News, Shanghai
Today's announcement will be a bitter pill for British Prime Minister David Cameron to swallow, having used his trip to China last year to lobby on Glaxo's behalf. "Properly standing up for British businesses and British individuals," he said at the time.
Politics is almost certainly playing its part. The Chinese healthcare industry is rife with corruption - feeding off the desperately low wages of doctors and officials - and no part of it, particularly not the local pharmaceutical supply chain, is exempt.
So Glaxo may well have a case to answer but it may also be a scapegoat. Foreign companies are easy targets in the midst of a crackdown on corruption, and a British one perhaps even more tempting, given China's fury over David Cameron's 2012 meeting with the Dalai Lama.
There is no way of knowing how much bearing that may have had of course, but if nothing else, today's excoriating indictment is a lesson in the limits of British diplomacy in modern day China.
He is alleged to have pressed his sales team to pay doctors, hospital officials and health institutions to use GSK products, resulting in the "illegal revenue" of hundreds of millions of dollars.
At a news conference, the investigators took pains to explain how the cost of the alleged bribes was passed directly on to Chinese consumers, the BBC's Celia Hatton reports.
They said the cost of the drugs sold by GSK in China was much higher than that of similar drugs sold by the company in other countries - sometimes up to seven times higher.
The investigators also said that while the company itself had been "very responsible and has given us their full support", the firm's operation in China "tried to pay bribes" in order to "obstruct" their efforts "in exposing their bribery behaviours".
Mr Reilly had briefly left China when the investigation was launched last July, but returned to help with the inquiry. A police investigator was believed to still be in China. Mr Reilly could not be reached for comment.
The Chinese operation of GSK was accused by the Chinese authorities, when the probe first began, of using travel agencies and consultancies to transfer bribes over several years.
GSK has already apologised for employees apparently acting outside of its internal controls, but denies the sums of money are anything like as high as those alleged to have been paid.
The pharmaceutical giant is also facing a criminal investigation into similar allegations in Poland.
It follows allegations made by former sales representative Jarek Wisniewski to the BBC's Panorama programme in April that doctors were paid to promote GSK's asthma drug Seretide.
If the allegations in either country are proved, GSK may have violated both the UK Bribery Act and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. It is illegal for companies based in the US or UK to bribe government employees abroad.
The Irish government has announced new licensing rules after last year's cancelled Garth Brooks concerts.
The US country star's five gigs at Dublin's Croke Park were scrapped after opposition from residents.
Promoters must now meet with the relevant local authority before applying for an event licence.
Residents living near Croke Park had threatened legal action last year after an initial two planned concerts by Brooks were increased to five due to demand.
They claimed they were not consulted before the organisers announced the extra shows or put the tickets on sale.
The Gaelic Athletic Association, which owns Croke Park, had an agreement with residents that a maximum of three concerts would be held each year in the stadium.
Dublin City Council only granted a three-day licence, leading Brooks to criticise the handling of the controversy and ultimately cancel all of the gigs.
About 400,000 fans had booked tickets.
Now, licence applications from promoters will not be accepted by a local authority unless a consultation has already taken place.
Event promoters will also not be entitled to advertise or sell tickets for events prior to the holding the meeting.
Where tickets have been advertised and sold prior to the holding of a consultation, an application for a licence will not be accepted.
A review group was set up by the Irish government met the four main promoters of outdoor events in Ireland to discuss changes to licensing legislation.
Dublin Chamber of Commerce said the Brooks gigs controversy highlighted a flaw in the Republic of Ireland's licensing laws.
"The Garth Brooks debacle last summer was hugely embarrassing for Ireland and jeopardised our international reputation as a great place to host and attend an event," the chamber's chief executive Gina Quin said.

Race Director Mervyn Whyte agreed terms with Frank Heidger's three-man team at the recent Macau Grand Prix.
Grams will be competing at the event for the fourth time, having finished ninth in the Superbike race in 2016.
Grams is a four-time winner of the International Road Racing championship and of the feature Frohburg road race.
The 33-year-old German finished in 11th position at this year's Macau Grand Prix.
Cerveny raced a Kawasaki to 13th and 16th places in his debut at last year's North West and the experienced 36-year-old was 17th on his Macau debut two weeks ago.
Biciste will be making his debut over the Triangle course in 2017, with all three riders on superbike spec BMW S1000RRs at Portrush.
"For Marek the challenge at the North West 200 will be to be the top newcomer on a superbike and Pieter wants to get settled into the race." Heidger explained.
"Didier can go top ten easily." Heidger added.
"We will be delighted to have Frankie and his team back at the Vauxhall International North West 200 in 2017," confirmed Whyte.
"Didier Grams, Marek Cerveny and newcomer Petr Biciste are racers who have a huge amount of experience on circuits all around the world. Didier is already very popular with the North West fans and Marek and Petr can also be assured of a warm welcome."
On 10 February 2003, as their country prepared to host its first World Cup match, the Zimbabwe cricketers released a statement to journalists at the Harare Sports Club in which they denounced the "death of democracy" in their homeland.
And in order to underline their opposition to President Robert Mugabe's 'regime', they took to the field wearing black armbands.
In making their stand at an international sports event, Flower, Zimbabwe's most successful player, and Olonga, the country's first black cricketer, were drawing the attention of the world to what they saw as human rights abuses taking place in their country.
But in opposing Mugabe, who was elected as Prime Minister in 1980 in post-independence elections and became president in 1987, they were throwing away their international careers, putting their lives in danger and condemning themselves to a life in exile.
Ten years on, the protest is the subject of a BBC Radio 5 live Sport special to be broadcast at 19:00 GMT on Thursday.
Listeners will hear the personal recollections of Flower and Olonga as they relive the moment they made their bold stand.
While Olonga wrote at length about the extraordinary episode and its consequences in his 2010 autobiography Blood, Sweat and Treason, Flower has remained largely silent, and the man whose stewardship of the England team has been characterised by a dispassionate resolve becomes deeply emotional as he remembers his thoughts and feelings before, during and after that fateful day.
In an interview with 5 live's Alison Mitchell, Flower explains that the protest came about after an old friend, Nigel Huff, took him to see how his once-thriving farm had been devastated by the government's land reforms.
"Nigel said we had a moral obligation not to go about business as usual during the World Cup but to tell the world about what was going on in Zimbabwe," recalls Flower.
"Under normal circumstances you don't want politics to interfere in any way in a sporting context but this was different. This was a remarkably brave statement by two individuals against the way their country was being run, and it was made a stone's throw from Mugabe's residence.
"It made a huge impression on everyone involved in the tournament and became a talking point wherever you went. Indeed, I remember catching up with Henry Olonga at a match later in the tournament in South Africa where he revealed that he thought he was being followed and may have to flee his country."
"Once he had planted that seed it was very hard to ignore it and it changed the way I viewed the country and our participation in that World Cup."
Flower knew that the chances of engaging the whole team in a protest or boycott were remote given that certain players either had sympathies with the regime or would be unwilling to take such a risk. So he decided to approach Olonga, a 26-year-old fast bowler with a sharp mind and strong sense of morality.
"I thought Henry might grab the concept and have the courage of his convictions to take a stand," adds Flower. "I also thought the fact that it would be one white Zimbabwean and one black one operating together gave the message the most eloquent balance."
A series of clandestine meetings followed involving Flower, Olonga and David Coltart, a human rights lawyer and a member of the opposition party.
Together they decided that the most effective way to make their point would be through a written statement and the wearing of a black armband to symbolise their mourning for the death of democracy in Mugabe's Zimbabwe.
Flower and Olonga describe the sense of foreboding as the day of the match due nearer, followed by a feeling of liberation once they had finally put their plan into operation.
"It is impossible to ignore what is happening in Zimbabwe. Although we are just professional cricketers, we do have a conscience and feelings. We believe that if we remain silent that will be taken as a sign that either we do not care or we condone what is happening in Zimbabwe. We believe that it is important to stand up for what is right."
Read the full statement
One of the most powerful passages of Flower's testimony arrives when he reads aloud the 450-word statement which was distributed around the press box by English journalist Geoffrey Dean on the morning of the Namibia game and subsequently reprinted in newspapers across the globe.
"They are familiar words," says Flower. "I have a copy framed in my house and just occasionally if I come across it I read the entire statement again.
"I love the way it was written - the meaning in some of those sentences is very sad because it is a reminder of what was happening in that country at that time and some of the people who went through agony and lost their lives."
Flower and Olonga's actions were applauded in international media but drew a furious response from Zimbabwe's cricket administrators and politicians. Olonga was expelled by his club side and branded an "Uncle Tom" who had "a black skin and a white mask" by Zimbabwe's propaganda minister Jonathan Moyo.
Flower, who was 34 at the time, had already planned to quit international cricket after the World Cup and had signed a contract to play for Essex in England, but the younger Olonga was less prepared for a life in exile.
"I had in my own naivety thought that I could carry on in Zimbabwe - maybe my career would come to an end but I could still live there," Olonga tells Mitchell.
"But that all changed when I got death threats two or three weeks after the World Cup. It became very clear that they had it in for me after the World Cup. I realised the game was up."
Olonga followed Flower to England where he gave up cricket and forged a career as a singer and public speaker. Now settled in Somerset with his Australian wife and two daughters, he says he has no regrets about his actions but would be uneasy about returning to his homeland with Mugabe still in power.
"I would need some guarantees that the people who wanted to harm me a few years ago do not still want to harm me," he says. "As a dad and someone who has responsibilities, I would need to know it was safe."
Flower, who is seeking to lead England to their third straight Ashes victory over Australia this summer, believes enough time has passed for him to contemplate a return to Zimbabwe. But he remains deeply proud of the moment when he transcended his sport.
"We can't all change the world, but if we all do little things along the way and make the most powerful decisions we can then I think we can bring about change," he says.
"Would I do it again? Given the same circumstances, without a doubt, yes."

Brent crude, used as an international benchmark, rose more than 5% to trade at $40.83 a barrel.
Oil dropped below $28 in January, but has since risen as part of a wider recovery in energy and metal prices.
The price of iron also shot up, rising 20% amid greater optimism about Chinese economic growth and demand for the metal in the country's refineries.
The price of Brent crude has now gone up more than 40% from the low it reached in January, although it remains 70% below its peak in the summer of 2014.
The rise is being put down to talks taking place between oil-producing countries in an effort to curb production.
No concrete agreements have been reached, but a number of key oil-producing nations are meeting in Moscow this month.
Meanwhile, ratings agency Fitch said oil prices would remain at an average of $35 a barrel this year.
Simon French, chief economist at Panmure Gordon, urged caution over the oil price increase, saying it might be short-lived.
"A large part of the oil price movement in recent days has been short covering, where investors having taken a bet on low prices are insuring themselves against the risk of higher prices. Very little has changed in the oil market to correct the supply glut," he added.
Commodities in general had a strong upbeat day, with prices rising for iron ore, copper and aluminium.
Iron ore rose 20%, its biggest increase in eight months, on expectations that China was cutting production.
The slowing Chinese economy has led to a fall in demand for iron ore, which has partly led to a global glut. China is one of the biggest consumers of steel in the world.
Iron ore was trading at $63.74 a tonne, which is the highest since June 2015.
The metal touched $38.30 in mid-December 2015.
The price of copper has increased by 6.9% in 2016 and aluminium is up 5.3%.
Does this rally in the price of crude oil have legs? There are reasons to suspect that it might not.
Traders have certainly taken encouragement from the efforts among oil-producing countries to address the supply glut.
There has been no concrete agreement, though Russia, Saudi Arabia and two others did say they would freeze production, provided others came on board.
A group of producer countries are meeting in Moscow later this month. Perhaps they will agree co-ordinated action.
But Iran, emerging from sanctions, is unlikely to join in. And higher prices might bring some more oil back on stream from American shale producers who were previously hit by the fall in prices.
And then there's the question of demand for oil.
If we had more bad news about the world economy, it would weigh on the price of crude oil.
Adam Laird of Hargreaves Lansdown said traders would wait and assess the situation.
"Today's trading was extraordinary. Metal prices can be volatile, but it is rare to see price rises of this magnitude in any asset. It is a signal of markets' desperation."
He said: "China is a major consumer of steel and prices are reacting to any hint of an uptick in demand. But in the context of the falls of the last few years, today's price is still low. "
It was, he said, "too early to say if this is a true bounce".
After so many years of corruption, and with so many of those at the top of the sport disgraced, banned or under investigation, a void now exists at the top of world football.
And yet, because we have become so conditioned, so numb, to the years of scandal, deceit and theft, instinct prevents us from assuming anything. What appears truly momentous turns out to be merely incremental.
So could this be the moment, once and for all, that things actually change? A tipping point? Or yet another false dawn?
Little wonder that some are cautious.
For most people, watching events from afar, Blatter left office five months ago, when he announced he would be stepping down.

I remember the now-familiar dash to Zurich that June evening, the world's media descending on Fifa HQ to herald a fresh start, a new era. The recovery - it appeared - would now begin.
But Blatter stayed, clinging grimly on. Even with Swiss criminal proceedings opened against him, Fifa sponsors demanding he disappear, and now with him finally banished from office altogether, the 79-year-old refuses to give up or admit defeat.
He has appealed, claimed his innocence, insisted he was not afforded due process, and could even return to office a few days before February's presidential election having served his suspension. An election which, with most of the leading candidates now banned, could yet be postponed.
Since June, a battle of wills has been raging between those who believe world football's governing body should be given the benefit of the doubt and allowed the chance to self-regulate, and the critics, who insist that, even if a reformist such as Prince Ali of Jordan becomes president, the governing body simply cannot be trusted long-term. They say it has proved itself not fit for purpose, and must be told what to do.
Never has the latter argument felt quite so compelling. Because football's administrators, it seems, will never learn.
Let us consider the case of Platini.
Platini has vowed to clear his name, and denies any wrongdoing.
But after all of that, and given how obviously football is crying out for a fresh start, one might have expected him to have withdrawn his candidacy to become Fifa president. To do what some would regard as the honourable thing in the wider interests of the game.
Instead, the former France international raged against the disciplinary process, condemning the allegations as "astonishingly vague", and submitted his candidacy papers anyway in a mood of "staunch defiance". In a bizarre statement, he hinted at being the victim of a conspiracy "to taint a lifelong devotee of the game", and described his suspension as "farcical".
Media playback is not supported on this device
Farcical? What is really farcical, perhaps, is Platini's inability to appreciate that, regardless of his innocence or otherwise, merely by association he is tainted whether he likes it or not.
What is also farcical, arguably, is the Football Association's refusal to withdraw their support for the beleaguered Frenchman, a decision which former sports minister Hugh Robertson has urged the governing body to rethink quickly.
All this, let us remember, at a time when IOC president Thomas Bach has called on Fifa to be open to an "external presidential candidate of high integrity" to lead football forward into a new era.
This weekend, journalists were directed by Platini's advisers towards the support he retains from Conmebol. Four of the South American confederation's former senior officials are among nine Fifa personnel indicted on corruption charges by US prosecutors. Maybe Platini should think twice before shouting about that support.
One senior member of the Government told me this weekend that they were bemused by the FA's loyalty to Platini, and FA chairman Greg Dyke will be asked to explain himself to MPs in two weeks' time when he appears before the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee in Parliament. He will be asked why the FA backed the Uefa president before he had even issued a manifesto, and before waiting to see which other candidates may be running.
The FA have their reasons for backing Platini - as outlined in a previous blog - and obviously they could not have foreseen his suspension when declaring their support.
But they leave themselves open to suggestions they have lost the moral high-ground that Dyke fought hard to win in Sao Paulo last year - when he led a European rebellion against Blatter - and by FA vice-chairman David Gill in May, when he refused to take his seat on the Fifa Exco in protest at the president's latest re-election.
On Thursday, Uefa will hold an emergency meeting in Nyon to discuss whether an alternative candidate to Platini should be considered, and whether to push for a postponement of the Fifa presidential election.
Such a move could give Platini more time to clear his name, but could risk giving Blatter a chance to launch an audacious bid to stay in power - assuming Swiss criminal prosecutors do not charge him with any wrongdoing before then.
In the meantime, while football's politicians try to work out how on earth to plot a path through this mess, the rest of us are left to consider what should happen to Fifa.
What is certain is that Blatter's departure does not in any way suggest the job is done. The fact that Issa Hayatou, a man reprimanded in 2011 by the IOC over bribery allegations - which he denies - is now acting president, proves that.
In a bid to police itself, the organisation currently has two reform programmes being worked on - by its audit and compliance chief Domenico Scala, and Swiss lawyer Francois Carrard, respectively - but many believe Fifa has lost the right to police itself, and demand an entirely independent reform commission.
Various suggestions deserve consideration:
Some want to go much further, urging the Swiss government - recently emboldened by new laws designed to clampdown on the many international sports bodies based there - to put Fifa into state control, seize its assets, wind it up and start again.
Others, such as the International Centre for Sport Security, have suggested the establishment of a global body dedicated to good governance and integrity - the equivalent to the World Anti-Doping Agency - overseeing a neutral regulatory platform or code that all sports governing bodies are accountable to.
Some may naturally ask where the money for such a concept would come from, but given the vast fortunes the sports industry now generates, surely it cannot be impossible.
What seems certain is that this is Fifa's ground zero, and a chance to rebuild that must not be squandered.
The 22-year-old's deal was due to expire this summer, but he will now stay with the League Two club until the summer of 2019.
Garratt made his Alex debut on the final day of the 2012-13 season and has now played 155 games for the club.
He missed the final 12 weeks of last season with a fractured shin bone, but has been ever present in the league this term.
Garratt has played all of Crewe's 38 matches in the fourth tier this season, and made a total of 45 appearances.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the party was now "mainstream with commonsense policies".
But Mr McDonnell went on to insist that austerity was a political choice which Labour would not accept.
He said a Labour government would "invest in the long term in the economy" and "make sure that prosperity is shared by all".
The comments came a day after Mr McDonnell gave a speech setting out how Labour would control public spending through a "fiscal credibility" lock, under which day-to-day government spending would not exceed income.
Asked by Today whether this meant an end to tax-and-spend, Mr McDonnell replied: "It does really. We're going to break way from that old shibboleth.
"We're about managing the economy effectively, and actually that's what socialism is all about."
Responding to his remarks on Friday, the Conservative party said Labour had a history of spending and borrowing too much.
Some Labour figures said Mr McDonnell's policy was scarcely different from what the party had offered at the last election.
Mr McDonnell's latest comments come four days before the Budget, in which Chancellor George Osborne is widely expected to confirm the UK's economic performance has deteriorated in recent months and announce further spending cuts to reduce the deficit, forecast to be £73.5bn this year.
Commentators say Labour is under pressure to demonstrate it can be trusted on the economy after its election defeat, which was widely blamed on a failure to convince the public it had a plan to control public spending and borrowing, boost growth and raise living standards.
Mr McDonnell said under a Labour government borrowing would fund investment in new skills, infrastructure and technology.
Challenged over whether as chancellor he would be prepared to cut spending, Mr McDonnell said: "I will be absolutely ruthless about how we manage our spending... It's not about cutting, it's about making sure you spend the money wisely."
Twenty-two people were killed and 59 injured when a suicide bomber struck at an Ariana Grande gig on Monday night.
A minute's silence was held as crowds spilled out on to nearby roads.
Lord Mayor of Manchester, Eddy Newman, began the vigil by thanking the emergency services, which prompted huge applause.
He said: "The people of Manchester will remember the victims forever and we will defy the terrorists by working together to create cohesive, diverse communities that are stronger together.
"We are the many, they are the few."
The Bishop of Manchester, the Rt Rev David Walker, lit a candle at the vigil, which began at 18:00 BST.
Senior figures including Home Secretary Amber Rudd, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Speaker John Bercow joined Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham on stage.
Greater Manchester Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said he was heartened to hear the acts of kindness from emergency service workers and normal people.
He said: "The people of Greater Manchester showed the people of the world how much we care, how much we care about one another, and how much we care for those in need."
He also thanked "the rest of the world for holding us in their thoughts".
Tony Lloyd, former Police and Crime Commissioner and interim mayor for Greater Manchester, said: "We're not going to accept evil acts dividing us.
"You can see throngs of people have come out to pay their respects... but in the end it's the resolution that says 'we're not prepared to be divided'."
Mr Lloyd said "we pride ourselves on our diversity" and that diversity can not be "challenged by one evil individual".
"We'll get through this because that is the spirit of Manchester."
Less than 24 hours after the worst terrorist attack in Manchester's history, its people came together to remember the 22 victims who went to enjoy one of the city's favourite pastimes - going to a gig - but never came home.
Basked in early evening sunshine, the mood in Albert Square was sombre but strong. Manchester is a city of glorious, rebellious positivity and thousands were here to make that point in front of the world's press.
While some had come to simply pay their respects to those killed and injured by an appalling act, others also wanted to stand firm in the face of horror.

Members of the Manchester Sikh Community were providing free refreshment, having arrived in Albert Square singing and receiving a round of applause.
They said they will be giving out food "to help the city at a time when things are bad".
Lu Bowen, 40, brought flowers to lay as a mark of respect, and said it has been a "horrific" day but said she wanted to show a sense of "solidarity and commitment that Manchester always has".
Standing alongside her teenage daughter Lucy, she said: "We watched it all unfold last night.
"When the chips are down, Manchester always pulls together."
Africa Hart, 25, from Manchester, said she and her friends wanted to attend the vigil to show solidarity and demonstrate that "love trumps hate."
Roads around Albert Square will be closed from 17:00 BST until about 19:00 BST.
Vigils were also held in cities across the UK, including in Belfast and Glasgow where people held posters which said: "We stand together. Manchester."
Barbara Anderson, 66, said she attended a vigil in Birmingham with her daughter Carol Cockerill and granddaughter Lauren.
"I was gutted when I heard the news - we have family in Manchester and I needed to make sure they were safe," Ms Anderson said.
However, the event was cut short when police arrested a man.
Superintendent Andy Parsons said: "The man was carrying a bag, and as a precaution Victoria Square where the vigil was being held was cleared for around 15 minutes.
"A small axe was recovered along with a large stick."
Hundreds of people gathered at Newcastle's Monument in a vigil for people of "all faiths or none".
Northumbria Police said there was no specific threat to the city, but had put extra armed officers on the streets to reassure the public.
Newcastle Council leader Nick Forbes said the Manchester attack "could have happened in any of our cities".
The 29-year-old landed awkwardly after challenging for a header and was carried from the field on a stretcher.
The League Two side held Premier League Liverpool to a 0-0 draw at Anfield setting up a replay on 18 January.
"He went for a scan and it is ankle ligament damage," manager Derek Adams told the club website.
"We're waiting on the results of how long it will take for him to get back to full fitness.
"There's a lot of swelling and a lot of bruising because of the impact. Hopefully, you can quickly recover from that."
The 23-year-old Bulgarian, seeded 10th, won their quarter-final tie at the All England Club in straight sets, with Murray, 27, well below his best.
They will meet on Sunday at around 09:30 GMT, with a place in the last eight at stake.
"That day it was not him out there. I think we all know that," said Dimitrov.
"You hardly ever see top players feel really flat early on in a match. It's a different scenario this time."
Murray made 37 errors as he lost in a little over two hours on Centre Court, and Dimitrov said afterwards that he had known from the knock-up that all was not well.

The Scot was still searching for his very best tennis following back surgery, and had just begun working with coach Amelie Mauresmo following the departure of Ivan Lendl.
Both those issues are long since resolved, and Dimitrov added: "I think he has a lot to look forward to.
"Adding up the new team, it's all fresh. I think it's going to give him a bit more excitement to compete, which I'm certainly aware of.
"But at the same time, I feel that I'm pretty stable around me as well. The only thing I can do is get out there and play my tennis."
Murray, 27, holds a 4-2 lead over Dimitrov in previous meetings and won impressively when the pair last met at the Paris Masters indoor event in November.
That result helped the Briton, seeded sixth in Melbourne, put the disappointment of his Wimbledon defeat behind him.
"I try to look forward," Murray told BBC Sport. "It happens in every job, every part of life - sometimes you have bad days.
"I don't feel like I played my best tennis that day. The first week of Wimbledon I played some really good tennis, it was just unfortunate.
"I've trained hard, I've prepared well to get ready for this event and this year. I feel like I've played some good tennis so far. Hopefully I'll do the same on Sunday."
Murray and Dimitrov have been given the high-profile second night match on Rod Laver Arena, following the women's fourth-round match between Simona Halep and Yanina Wickmayer.
That decision means Australian hopes Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic have still to play on the main show court, seen as a "snub" by some local media.
Tomic will play Tomas Berdych on Margaret Court Arena, before Kyrgios faces Andreas Seppi on Hisense Arena.
Lleyton Hewitt is the only Australian man to have played on Rod Laver Arena so far this year, but asked about the prospect of missing out again, Kyrgios said: "I don't mind. I'll request Court 20. I don't mind."
The Regional Jobs Fund was designed to help businesses create private sector jobs in parts of the country with high levels of public sector employment.
But the National Audit Office (NAO) questioned its value for money.
A senior Labour MP said the projected cost was "shocking" but ministers said the £200,000 figure was "misleading" as the average would be about £33,000.
The NAO, the government's spending watchdog, examined the first £1.4bn awarded from the fund and found it could lead to an extra 41,000 jobs over the next seven years.
It said the fund - which is being spearheaded by deputy prime minister Nick Clegg and Conservative peer Lord Heseltine - was successfully being targeted at those areas more reliant on the state to provide jobs, but value for money had been undermined.
This was because "a significant proportion of the £1.4bn was allocated to projects that offer relatively few jobs for the money invested".
Tighter controls and "allocating funding across more bidding rounds could have created thousands more jobs from the same resources," the report added.
The average cost per job created was £33,000, but the watchdog said the cost could vary "from under £4,000 to over £200,000". With more effective administration, the average cost could have been reduced, it added.
"Over 90% of the net additional jobs could have been delivered for 75% of the cost, with the cost of each job then being £26,000."
Comparing the Regional Growth Fund with similar schemes under Labour, the NAO concluded that the average cost of a job was similar.
It said: "Based on the information available, a cost of £33,000 per net additional job is similar to the cost per net additional job achieved by programmes with comparable objectives."
The report questioned the impact of the fund over the long-term saying it was unclear if the jobs would be sustained.
In response, Business Secretary Vince Cable said the report recognised the scheme was "working".
He added: "We have already put in place some of the NAO's recommendations such as making more administrative resources available, which means projects are being processed even faster."
On the issue of cost, business and enterprise minister Mark Prisk said the £200,000 figure was "misleading" and may only apply in "one or two cases".
"The average is £33,000," he told Radio 4's Today programme.
"The NAO recognise, they say themselves, that this is typical of this kind of programme and they are comfortable with this point."
The government was not trying to create jobs itself, he stressed, but help businesses achieve their expansion plans.
"I think taxpayers will be encouraged to know that for every £1 we are putting on their behalf, we are getting £6 from the private sector."
But Labour MP Margaret Hodge, chair of the cross-party Public Accounts Committee, said the cost of the scheme was "shocking".
"Stronger controls over the value for money of individual bids are urgently needed to prevent any more money being wasted," she said.
In November, George Osborne announced a further £1bn would be available for future bidding rounds over the next two years.
John Noble, 43, had already admitted the lesser charge of causing the death of Chris Dennehy, 58, by careless driving on the A38 near Lee Mill.
But he was found not guilty of the more serious charge after a trial at Plymouth Crown Court.
Noble, of Horrabridge, Devon, will be sentenced at a later date after pre-sentence reports are prepared.
The court had earlier been told Noble had reached over for his mobile phone moments before he struck and killed Mr Dennehy, from Plympton, on 5 September last year.
His lorry was travelling 54mph along the straight road when the victim was struck by the nearside wing, said prosecutor Piers Norsworthy.
The victim was wearing a high-visibility jacket and a white helmet.
Mr Dennehy had worked at Tescos at Lee Mill for 35 years and rode to work daily.
The "respectful relationship" curriculum will be mandatory in all schools in Victoria from next year.
Students will explore issues around social inequality, gender-based violence and male privilege.
However, a report on a 2015 pilot trial accused it of presenting all men as "bad" and all women as "victims".
Pay inequality, anger management, sexual orientation and the dangers of pornography will be among the topics explored by students in the programme, costing A$21.8m (£13.5m; $16.5m).
Primary school students will be exposed to images of both boys and girls doing household chores, playing sport and working as firefighters and receptionists.
The material includes statements including "girls can play football, can be doctors and can be strong" and "boys can cry when they are hurt, can be gentle, can be nurses and can mind babies".
In high school, students will be taught the meaning of terms including pansexual, cisgender and transsexual and the concept of male privilege.
A guide for the Year 7 and 8 curriculum states: "Being born a male, you have advantages - such as being overly represented in the public sphere - and this will be true whether you personally approve or think you are entitled to this privilege."
It describes privilege as "automatic, unearned benefits bestowed upon dominant groups" based on "gender, sexuality, race or socio-economic class".
Year 11 and 12 students are introduced to the concept of "hegemonic masculinity" which "requires boys and men to be heterosexual, tough, athletic and emotionless, and encourages the control and dominance of men over women".
Some critics have suggested that although more needs to be done to protect the female victims of domestic violence, the programme lacks objectivity and nuance.
Jeremy Sammut, a senior research fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies, a libertarian think tank, told The Australian newspaper that it amounted to "taxpayer-funded indoctrination" of children.
"The idea behind this programme - that all men are latent abusers by nature of the 'discourse' - is an idea that only cloistered feminist academics could love," Dr Sammut said.
"A lot of evidence suggests that like child abuse, domestic violence is a by-product of social dysfunction: welfare, drugs, family breakdown."
The royal commission that recommended education as the key measure for preventing future family violence found that 25% of victims of family violence are men. Critics argue that point is often overlooked.
Education Minister James Merlino has said education is the key to ending the "vicious cycle" of family violence.
"This is about teaching our kids to treat everyone with respect and dignity so we can start the cultural change we need in our society to end the scourge of family violence," he said.
Bradshaw had a transfer request accepted by the Saddlers on Wednesday and has passed a medical at Oakwell.
The 23-year-old won his first Wales cap in a friendly against Ukraine in March, but did not make their Euro 2016 squad after suffering a calf injury.
"Tom will fit in well with our playing philosophy," Tykes boss Paul Heckingbottom told the club website.
He had one year left to run on his contract at Walsall, who he joined from Shrewsbury in June 2014.
He scored 20 goals for the Saddlers last season as they were beaten by Barnsley in the League One play-offs.

Manchester Crown Court heard the body of Sian Roberts, 36, was found at a flat in Salford in November 2015.
Police said after the prints were found, Glynn Williams "tried everything to get out of admitting his crimes".
The 53-year-old from Crumpsall, Manchester, was ordered to serve a minimum of 21 years in prison.
Supt Bob Tonge said the story Williams told officers "changed more than once" throughout the investigation.
"I'm glad we've finally got Sian's family the justice they deserve", he added.
Speaking after sentencing on Wednesday, Ms Roberts' daughter Shantay said her mum's life "might have been short-lived, but it was most definitely lived".
She said she had "never known a person to inspire and touch so many different lives in such a crazy and unorthodox way", adding that her "bestest friend in the entire world" was "finally at peace".
The first German side to win a European title (the 1966 European Cup Winners' Cup) and champions of Europe in 1997. Three-time German cup winners.
Yet Borussia Dortmund say they are enjoying their "best season ever" - despite lying second in the Bundesliga, behind Bayern Munich.
After 27 of their 34 league games this season, 20 wins, four draws and just three losses mean they have 64 points.
It is the most, they say, at this stage of a season in the club's 106-year history.
Dortmund won the league in 2010-11 and again the following year, when they set a Bundesliga record of 81 points. After 27 games of that season, they had 62 points - two fewer than they have this year.
Bayern broke that record the following season, winning the title with 91 points as Dortmund slipped to second, also their finishing position in 2013-14.
Now - 10 months on from an uncharacteristic seventh-place finish under Jurgen Klopp - they are five points behind Bayern, but 16 ahead of third-placed Hertha Berlin.
And Dortmund know they, and Bayern, are well ahead of the rest.
"You would have won the championship with this points tally 15 years ago," the club add.
"The deaths occurred over the past 12 days, with nine of them occurring over the past 24 hours," said a provincial health spokesperson.
Some 60 boys have been rescued from 11 initiation schools which have since been closed.
Circumcision is seen as a rite of passage into manhood in some South African communities.
The practice is common among the Xhosa and Ndebele communities.
However, Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini wants it reintroduced among the Zulu people because of reports that medical circumcision can reduce the chances of getting HIV.
The rescued boys have been taken to the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital in Mthatha.
"All 60 of them have septic wounds and are dehydrated," said Eastern Cape health spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo, reports Sapa news agency.
"Four of the boys even need their genitals removed completely, as it could result in death if it's not. We are just waiting for consent from their parents to perform the procedures."
Illegal initiation schools have become common in the Eastern Cape, especially in rural areas.
Unregistered surgeons often set them up as a way of making money, says the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg.
Earlier this week, seven under-aged initiates were rescued from an illegal initiation school run by a 55-year-old unregistered traditional surgeon who had been arrested several times for the offence.
"He was recently given a three-year suspended sentence but he continued doing the same thing. In the past five years, close to 20 initiates died in his schools and 15 had their penises amputated," said the Eastern Cape health department.
Health department officials are meeting the police, members of the justice department and prosecutors to discuss the prosecution of those contravening the Traditional Circumcision Act, which regulates the custom in the province, according to Sapa.
"The major problem is that parents are reluctant to prosecute illegal traditional surgeons who sometimes force their children into circumcision at a very young age," Mr Kupelo said.
"We identify the perpetrators, but if parents are not willing to open cases against them, they are freed and continue illegally circumcising and killing these boys."
Most initiations are either done in June-July or November-December.
Last year, 91 initiates died and hundreds were hospitalised in the province.
She will not now take over the education and energy portfolios, but will still be foreign minister and minister in the president's office.
Parliament has also proposed giving her the role of "state counsellor", a new position similar to prime minister.
Aung San Suu Kyi leads the National League for Democracy (NLD) that took power on Wednesday.
However she is constitutionally barred from becoming president, because of her children's foreign citizenship.
Despite this, she has vowed to run the country from behind the scenes through her friend and ally, the newly inaugurated President Htin Kyaw.
Two former civil servants have been nominated to take over the education and energy ministries, in place of Aung San Suu Kyi.
The BBC's Jonah Fisher says Myanmar's government ministries are extremely bureaucratic, with decisions usually requiring a ministerial signature.
Many had seen Ms Suu Kyi's move to take on four of the most important portfolios as too big a task, says our correspondent.
In scaling back her day-to-day responsibilities, she will be hoping to focus more on running the country and implementing much needed change, he adds.
They had been due to walk out on Wednesday in a row over pay with Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board.
The union said the suspended strike would allow "further discussion of the health board's latest offer."
A spokeswoman said the health board was "fully committed to resolving the concerns of our staff".
About 80 staff, who are members of the Unison union, already staged a 24-hour strike on 25 January.
The latest strike had been due to affect Morriston, Neath Port Talbot and Princess of Wales hospitals.
The workers want "pay parity with colleagues doing the same job in other hospitals in Wales".
Mark Turner, Unison regional organiser said: "If there is no satisfactory outcome‎ to those talks, they are ready to resume and escalate the strikes on 22 and 23 of February."
The investigation into the crash is still going on.
This week a Polish radio station, RMF FM, leaked a transcript of cockpit recordings suggesting that presidential aides had put pressure on the pilots to land at Smolensk despite thick fog.
Polish military prosecutors called the transcript "imprecise".
The plane wreckage remains in Russia.
The disaster happened as the president, his wife and top government officials were travelling to Katyn, the remote wooded spot where Soviet secret police murdered thousands of Polish officers in 1940.
The Russian-built Tupolev Tu-154 airliner crashed just short of the runway near Smolensk in western Russia, after it hit trees in heavy fog.
The plane crash that killed so many state and military leaders initially united the country in mourning - such was magnitude of the tragedy. But within weeks the solidarity had disappeared and the divisions remain to this day.
The political camp that suffered most losses in the disaster is now the country's main opposition party - conservative Law and Justice (PiS), led by Lech Kaczynski's identical twin brother Jaroslaw. It has boycotted the official commemoration for the last four years.
The terrible tragedy has been abused as a political tool. So far all official investigations have concluded the crash was mainly caused by poorly trained pilots attempting to land in dense fog at Smolensk military airfield. They have ruled out sinister plots.
This week's revelations have added weight to what many suspected - that the pilots felt pressure to make the landing attempt, in order to be on time for the Katyn massacre commemoration.
However, Mr Kaczynski's camp has encouraged people to believe it was not an accident, but an assassination concocted by the Russians and Lech Kaczynski's political foes. One in five Poles agree with him, according to a survey this week conducted for the daily Gazeta Wyborcza.
The official ceremony took place at the Powazki military cemetery, where President Bronislaw Komorowski laid a wreath at a memorial plaque.
But a large crowd held Polish flags aloft outside the presidential palace in Warsaw, where the Law and Justice (PiS) party - previously led by Lech Kaczynski - held its own commemoration ceremony.
According to the leaked transcript, Polish air force commander-in-chief Andrzej Blasik was in the cockpit and told the pilots just before the crash: "You'll make it easily".
The transcript suggests that the pilots were distracted by people in or around the cockpit in the crucial minutes when they were deciding whether or not to land.
RMF FM radio said Polish investigators had used new techniques to decipher parts of the cockpit voice recording, provided by the Russian authorities. The poor quality of the recording has hampered the investigation.
A plot at Sheffield Botanical Gardens has been planted with species sensitive to ozone pollution, including lettuce and wheat.
The project is a collaboration between the universities of Sheffield, Leeds and York.
"Air pollution is invisible, but the plants and pigments will show up its effects," said Dr Maria Val Martin.
More on this story and others from across South Yorkshire
Dr Val Martin said the 6x8m (20 x 26ft) garden will visually demonstrate the effects of pollution on plants with discolouring of the leaves.
Snap beans and clover have been planted alongside lettuce and wheat, and coneflower and milkweed will be added in a few months.
She said people will also be able to read information about plants' ability to absorb chemicals, and about air pollution's effects on humans.
After the meeting Mr Ma said that both had agreed that US-China relations "should be strengthened, should be more friendly and do better".
Mr Ma said he would help US businesses create a million new jobs by using his website to sell to China.
During his campaign Mr Trump threatened to place tariffs on Chinese imports.

US vs China – Trump tools up
Trump hints 'One China' policy could end
Calling the future US president "smart" and "open-minded", Mr Ma described his company's plan to attract one million small US businesses to its platform in order to sell goods to Chinese consumers.
Company spokesman Bob Christie said that one million new jobs will be created over the next five years as small American businesses hire new employees who will be tasked with interacting with Alibaba.
Mr Ma, who is one of the richest people in China, specifically said that farmers and small clothing makers in the US Midwest should use the Alibaba online marketplace to reach Chinese consumers.
It is estimated that up to 80% of Chinese online purchases are made on the Alibaba platform.
The New York real estate mogul has said that 45% import taxes could be placed on Chinese goods and would come in response to currency manipulation and illegal subsidies by the world's second largest economy.
He has been highly critical of Chinese trade practices, and has appointed noted China critics to key economic cabinet positions in the White House.
Market researchers fear that punitive tariffs would lead to a retaliatory response from China, triggering a trade war.
But given that Heathrow is already operating at maximum capacity, and its rival is expected to run out of space within the next few years, why does it have to be one option or another?
Put simply, why hasn't the option of building an additional runway at both Gatwick and Heathrow been seriously considered?
Environmental constraints, public opposition and economic arguments all come into it, but the simple answer appears to be: politics
There are certainly strong arguments in favour of building two runways.
The independent Airports Commission, which issued its final report last year, pointed out that London's airport system would be using 90 percent of available capacity by 2030.
Even under relatively pessimistic forecasts, it said, by 2040 all London airports would be full, with the exception of Stansted.
Although it recommended building just one new runway in the immediate future, it added that "there is likely to be a demand case for a second additional runway to be in operation by 2050, or in some scenarios, earlier".
Peter Morris, chief economist at the aviation consultancy Ascend, thinks it would make business sense to build two new runways, because the extra capacity will certainly be needed.
He believes that because Heathrow is focused on business traffic and long haul services, while Gatwick caters for more short haul, leisure services, both should be allowed to expand.
"It would be better to have two capacity options", he says, "because no-one really knows which way the industry is going to go, or where the most growth will be".
The GTMC, which represents business travel firms, is also firmly in favour of expanding both airports.
"Each airport has a different international network and importantly connects to different regions of the UK, both of which are essential to sustained economic growth", says chief executive Paul Waite.
Analysts say that although some airlines have a clear preference for expansion at Heathrow, many would welcome a second runway at Gatwick as well. They believe it would boost competition between the two, leading to lower charges and better facilities.
Ryanair's chief executive, Michael O'Leary, has gone further. He recently called for new runways to be built at Heathrow, Gatwick - and Stansted as well.
We asked readers to send BBC Business correspondent Theo Leggett their questions on airport expansion.
Theo chose four questions, and we asked you to select your favourite, which came from Bob White.
He asked: "Why hasn't the option of building an additional runway at both Gatwick and Heathrow been considered?"
Bob explained to us the thinking behind his question:
"I would use the M25 analogy... by the time it was completed the motorway already required expanding. So why not be bold and show the world we are really serious about being an outward looking, trading nation and build UK airport capacity for the real long term future?"
Yet there are also powerful arguments for limiting expansion. In environmental terms, for example, it could cause serious problems.
The Climate Change Act introduced strict, legally binding targets for reducing emissions of carbon dioxide in the UK.
To help achieve those targets, the government's Commission on Climate Change says that emissions from aviation should be no higher by 2050 than they were in 2005.
This matters a lot. Carrying a single passenger from London to New York and back generates roughly the same amount of CO2 as an average family in Europe heating their home for a year.
So although aviation currently accounts for only about 7% of the UK's overall emissions, that figure could grow rapidly as passenger numbers increase.
Airportwatch, a campaign group representing environmental lobbies and community groups opposed to airport expansion, thinks that if a new runway were built it would be "very difficult" for the country to meet its targets.
It follows that a second extra runway, which would permit even more flights, would simply make matters worse.
It is also worth looking at the level of opposition to airport expansion, which takes in people living near to both airports or under their flightpaths, environmental activists, and even members of the Cabinet.
Let's not forget that back in 2009, the then-prime minister Gordon Brown did give the go-ahead to a 3rd runway at Heathrow. That decision was later overturned by his successor, David Cameron - who subsequently appointed the Airports Commission to look again at the issue.
Since then there have been further delays. Even if a decision is taken this week, the government is likely to face a number of legal challenges. Greenpeace, for example, has already teamed up with a number of London councils to oppose the possible expansion of Heathrow.
It is, to say the least, a political hot potato, and will probably remain that way for the foreseeable future. No full length runway has been built in the South East since the 1940s - and arguments have been raging about how and where to create new capacity for decades.
In that context, getting one new runway in place still looks like a formidable challenge. Trying to build two, in the current political climate, looks all but impossible.

Arjen Robben opened the scoring shortly after half-time when he cut in from the right and found the top corner.
Gerard Pique turned Franck Ribery's cross into his own net before Thomas Mueller headed in at the far post to complete the 7-0 aggregate rout.
Barcelona's previous highest defeats in European competition were all by a four-goal margin. They lost 4-0 against AC Milan in the 1994 European Cup final, by a four-goal aggregate margin against Valencia in the Uefa Cup in 1962 and the same against Real Madrid in the European Cup two years earlier.
Bayern now meet fellow German side Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on 25 May.
Jupp Heynckes' side were beaten by Chelsea in last season's Champions League final but, on the evidence of their two performances against the Catalan giants, it will take an almighty effort from Dortmund to prevent them winning their fifth European Cup.
Barcelona, who left injured talismanic playmaker Lionel Messi on the bench, were once again outplayed by the brilliant Bavarians.
And if Bayern's first-leg demolition shook Europe, their second-leg dominance should ensure even bigger reverberations - such was the magnitude of their dominance in the Nou Camp.
From Mario Mandzukic's selfless work as the lone striker, to the slick pass-and-move skills of those behind him, the visitors outplayed Tito Vilanova's side.
Their ruthlessly efficient counter-attacks always carried a goal threat, to the extent that Barcelona were reluctant to commit enough men forward to seriously test the stout Bayern defence.
Perhaps lifted by the absence of Messi, who is still struggling with a hamstring injury, Bayern started brightly and Pique had to be alert to deny both Robben and Philipp Lahm.
Despite the onus being on them to score, Barca were not able to test Manuel Neuer until the 23rd minute, the Germany goalkeeper tipping Pedro's 25-yard shot over the bar.
Bayern equalled the biggest away win in a CL semi-final, set by themselves in April 2010 (3-0 at Olympique Lyon) and by Ajax in April 1996 (3-0 at Panathinaikos)
For the first time since 2001 (Bayern) a German team will win the Champions League
Bayern have kept a clean sheet in four consecutive CL knockout matches, a club record. The last club to keep at least four clean sheets was Manchester United in 2008 with five.

Content to let the Spanish side pass the ball in their own half, Munich sat back and pounced on loose passes to mount dangerous counter-attacks on the beleaguered Barca backline.
Xavi fired over for the hosts while, at the other end, Robben had a shot charged down.
Something had to give, and it was Barcelona's slim chances when, three minutes into the second half, David Alaba switched play to Robben, who expertly cut inside and curled a left-footed shot into the top corner.
Not content with their commanding advantage, Bayern continued to counter and Pique summed up Barcelona's evening when he failed to deal with Ribery's cross from the left and shinned the ball past his own keeper Victor Valdes.
The record aggregate victory was completed when Mueller rose highest at the far post to head home another super Ribery cross.
Bayern's victory eclipses Manchester United's 6-1 aggregate rout of Schalke in 2011, and, while Sir Alex Ferguson's side lost to Barcelona in the final that year, it is difficult to see a similar fate befalling this mighty Munich side.
