After an inconsistent group stage, England bowled out semi-final opponents South Africa for 175 on their way to a dominant seven-wicket victory.
"I hope we are peaking," the 32-year-old batsman said. "There's a lot of cricket left this summer, and I hope it will be a great one for England."

The Ashes series starts on 10 July.
England began their Champions Trophy campaign with an impressive 48-run win against upcoming Test opponents Australia, before a seven-wicket defeat by a Kumar Sangakkara-inspired Sri Lanka put their knockout stage qualification hopes in the balance.
A tense rain-affected 10-run win against New Zealand followed in their final Group A fixture, with South Africa then being comprehensively beaten in the last four.
"It's been a fantastic tournament [for England], with regards to coming back from a loss against Sri Lanka," Trott reflected.
"We had the high of beating Australia first up, and then the game against New Zealand - a tight one in the end, but I thought we played really well - and to beat South Africa at The Oval was a great performance."
With the first of two back-to-back Ashes Test series against Australia beginning at Trent Bridge in less than a month, Warwickshire batsman Trott said a win in the Champions Trophy decider at Edgbaston - his home ground - would be the ideal preparation.

He told BBC Radio 5 live: "It would be sort of having your cake and eating it. It is an amazing opportunity to play five games and win a Champions Trophy.
"We deserve to be in the final. We have played some good cricket, under pressure as well. India are a fantastic team, so we have to play our A-game."
England toured India in the winter, sealing their first Test series victory there in 27 years.
But in the last two one-day series between the sides, both in India, the hosts have won 5-0 and 3-2.

The 23-year-old broke the world number 38's serve five times in a dominant display in Mexico as she sealed victory in one hour and seven minutes.
Watson, whose ranking has dropped to 84, did not face a break point and lost only three points on her first serve.
She will meet Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens in Sunday's final as she aims to win her third WTA title.
Watson previously won the Japan Open in 2012 and Hobart International in January 2015.
"I'm very happy to be in the final. I've played Kirsten a few times and she's very experienced," she said.
"It definitely won't be easy so I'm going to have to bring my A-game tomorrow."
World number 73 Flipkens knocked out British number one Johanna Konta 6-3 6-7 (2-7) 6-1 in the quarter-finals.
Malcolm Turnbull declared victory for his ruling Liberal-National coalition on Sunday.
The Australian newspaper reported Mr Turnbull made the donation to compete with the opposition Labor Party's union-bolstered TV ad spend.
The seven-figure donation was made in the final weeks of the campaign.
Mr Turnbull and party officials did not deny the payment had taken place when questioned by the media.
"Donations to the Liberal Party are disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the Electoral Act," the prime minister's office said.
The Australian said the Liberal Party's Campaign finances had dried up after Mr Turnbull challenged former prime minister Tony Abbott.
Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese criticised the prime minister and his "desperate" party.
"I wish we had someone who had a lazy million dollars sitting in the corner that could just plonk into the campaign," he told the Nine Network. "We don't have it."

Liberal frontbencher Kelly O'Dwyer said that party members were free to make donations.
"We say to individuals, look, if you want to contribute to our campaign you can do that," she said.
The Australian's report said proposed changes to the country's pension scheme may have alienated wealthy Liberal donors who might otherwise have donated to the prime minister's campaign.
After a lacklustre election result, the prime minister is now facing opposition from his backbench and some senior ministers over the planned reforms.
With 103 years between them, one had witnessed first hand the years of fierce struggle that laid the ground for a black president, the other had never lived under a white one.
The cameras captured Virginia McLaurin, aged 106, dancing with President Obama and, separately, Clark Reynolds, aged three, gazing up as the president touched his cheek.
Later, at a reception for the guests, someone called out "Hey Michelle" to the First Lady. The president quipped: "We know it's Black History Month when you hear somebody say, 'Heyyy, Michelle! Girl, you look so good!'"
The three moments were all huge social media hits - the video of Mrs McLaurin's dance has been viewed nearly 35 million times; the image of Clark Reynolds shared nearly 30,000 times on Instagram; and the response to the video of the president's "Hey Girl" moment emphatic.
But at a time when the focus is shifting from Mr Obama's presidency to his legacy, these bite-sized moments raise bigger questions about the part race plays in the mark he leaves on the nation.
Many believe that just the presence of a black family in the White House will have a profound and lasting impact on the aspirations of the country's African Americans. Others have accused Mr Obama of dealing in symbolism over policy.
For Jonathan Capehart, a member of the Washington Post's editorial board who covers race and politics, it is impossible to overstate the impact of seeing a black family in the White House.
"It is indescribable for most African Americans to see that man and that family in that house," he says. "It's difficult even to answer the question because it is such a powerful thing."
Seeing Mrs McLaurin dancing with the president reminded Mr Capehart him of taking his own mother - a 70-year-old black woman born and raised in North Carolina - to the White House to meet the Obamas.
"She grew up in the segregated South, picked cotton in the cotton fields... and there we were, queuing up to meet a black president and his black wife. The look on her face, it was as if she was seeing a unicorn.
"For Virginia McLaurin, for my mother, this is a dream come true. They never thought they would live to see the day that someone black would be elected president of the United States.
"And for that little boy, and for young black kids around the country, seeing that someone who looks like them has been given the awesome responsibility of leading the nation is just huge."
The photograph of Clark Reynolds is indeed a powerful one. It harks back to another image of a young black boy in the White House - in 2012, five-year-old Jacob Philadelphia was pictured in the Oval Office reaching out to touch the president's hair, to see if it felt the same as his.
Pete Souza, the White House photographer who took the picture of Clark, said of the earlier image: "As a photographer, you know when you have a unique moment. But I didn't realise the extent to which this one would take on a life of its own."
Michael Skolnik, an activist who shared the image of Clark Reynolds online and created the #Obamaandkids hashtag, wrote: "We'll never truly be able to measure the impact that President Barack Obama has had on our children."
But not everyone was won over by the symbolism of the celebrations. Aislinn Pulley, the Chicago leader of the Black Lives Matter campaign, publicly refused her invitation to the White House, calling the event a "sham" and accusing the president of not taking enough action over police brutality.
It was not the first time the accusation had been levelled - a vocal minority of black activists and writers have long accused the president of not doing enough in hard policy terms to help the African American community.
Frederick Harris, a political scientist at Columbia University, says the Obama administration has always suffered from a tension between symbolism and substance when it comes to race.
"I think he is concerned about his legacy and concerned about there not being enough substantive policy outcomes for African Americans," Mr Harris says.
"If you look at past Black History Month events, the Obamas were certainly not as visible, not as 'unapologetically black' - as the Black Lives Matter campaigners would say - as they have been this year."
With both houses of Congress dominated by Republicans, and the chances of passing meaningful legislation thin, the president is "doubling down" on the symbolism, Mr Harris says.
"This is the something the White House has been trading on for a while, the symbolism of the little boy who touches the president's head, or the rhetoric in 2008, but I think it has become more explicit in the waning days of his term.
"As I joked recently to a friend: the closer Obama's foot gets to the door, the blacker the White House becomes."
Davies says that team ethos is at the heart of the current squad's fantastic run of form that has seen them win eight successive matches, one short of what would be a record for the region.
"I actually remember watching the Galacticos and they were a great team," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"I think we are just working together."
Davis says the culture of the Ospreys has led directly to their success, with no star players at the region.
"What impresses me about this team is the culture that Steve Tandy has put in place," he said.
"And no player is bigger than any other , no player is hogging the limelight "
Australian Davis, who is credited with rejuvenating the Ospreys' defence this season, says the changes have been technical.
"One thing that was never lacking was effort, so we looked at the structural side of things and hopefully I've given these guys a framework where they can make decisions out on the field and make us a difficult side to break down," he said.

Davis thinks all the problem will be ironed out in the ongoing debate about high tackles, following a change in the rules.
"In these early stages there's going to be loads in every game that we can look at," he said.
"But I think the referees will start to have a greater empathy and a greater feel and I think they'll find a balance between intent and accident."

Chris Langton told Australia's ABC Radio that it was "the fairest way of travelling".
Rather than pay for a seat, passengers pay a fixed price per kilogram, which varies depending on the route length.
Samoa Air flies domestically and to American Samoa. It is thought the move could encourage other airlines to introduce similar policies.
"Airlines don't run on seats, they run on weight, and particularly the smaller the aircraft you are in the less variance you can accept in terms of the difference in weight between passengers," Mr Langton told ABC radio.
"Anyone who travels at times has felt they have been paying for half of the passenger next to them."
Under the new model, Mr Langton described how some families with children were now paying cheaper fares.
"There are no extra fees in terms of excess baggage or anything - it is just a kilo is a kilo is a kilo," he said.
Air Samoa's rates range from $1 (65p) to around $4.16 per kilogram. Passengers pay for the combined weight of themselves and their baggage.
Mr Langton also suggested that the move had helped promote health awareness in Samoa, which has one of the world's highest levels of obesity.
"People generally are becoming much more weight conscious. That's a health issue in some areas," he told ABC Radio.
Mr Langton said he believed that charging by weight was "the concept of the future."
"People generally are bigger, wider and taller than they were 50 years ago," he said. "The industry will start looking at this."
Barra McGrory told BBC Talkback that recent cases had shown how families do not always get the justice they want.
Mr McGrory suggested that pursuing such legal actions could diminish public confidence in the judicial system.
He also urged politicians to take "stock" on some of the difficulties related to legacy cases.
The PPS Director said his biggest challenge so far had been dealing with people's perceptions of the prosecution service and its decisions.
"A lot of people put a lot of store in the results of the criminal justice system. Those who are victims, those related to victims and those who are brought before the criminal justice system as defendants," he said
"There's an awful lot at stake and we are the organisation, or the agency, which is responsible for the delivery of prosecutions. If they do or don't succeed, people will attach responsibility to us," he said.
Mr McGrory said that although much work has been done to ensure maximum public confidence in the PPS, there was a risk that it could be diminished by the low number of legacy prosecutions.
"The number of successful prosecutions is likely to be very low. That is the hard reality.
"Look at this week - the criticisms and bitterness and disappointment that has been brought about in two cases.
"Let's multiply that by many, once we embark upon the investigation and potential prosecution of the four decades of the conflict."
Regarding the case against a man charged with the 1998 Omagh bombing, Mr McGrory said he was disappointed it had collapsed.
"People weren't necessarily expecting another criminal case in Omagh. It would have been easy not to take it - it would have been risk averse, but I didn't think that was the right thing to do," he said.
"The difficulty is that once we take the case, expectations are raised, people have to relive the trauma, and the case ultimately had to be withdrawn because significant difficulties arose in respect of the evidence."
However, he said that this case was not unique. On Tuesday, it was announced that a soldier would not be prosecuted over the 1972 killing of teenager Daniel Hegarty.
"The Public Prosecution Service is well capable of prosecuting any crime if it has the evidence," he said.
"The problem with what is termed as legacy cases is that as we've seen this week - not just in Omagh but the older case is - the less likely the evidence will be of sufficient quality to bring it to a criminal court," he said.
Mr McGrory also had a direct message for politicians: "When the elections are over and when they sit down to revisit the issue, stock needs to be taken on some of the difficulties.
"I'm not just entirely sure how much those difficulties have been weighed, and the balance here in the decisions of leadership that they must make - that's for them to consider," he said.
"I took the decision to leave and end my political life in 2018," he told a congress of the ruling MPLA party.
In 2001, Mr Dos Santos said he would not seek office in the next presidential elections, which were then abolished under the new constitution.
He is Africa's second longest-serving leader, after Equatorial Guinea's Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.
General elections are due in Angola, Africa's second largest oil producer, in August 2017.
Critics accuse long-serving President Jose Eduardo dos Santos of being authoritarian and his government of committing human rights abuses.
The southern African state is rich in diamonds, which fuelled a 27-year civil war in the country.
Will Dos Santos really leave? By Angola analyst Justin Pearce
I remember Jose Eduardo dos Santos saying in 2001 that he was to step down.
That wasn't the only time he's spoken of an exit, but then allowed himself to be persuaded otherwise.
The problem is there is no obvious successor. Mr Dos Santos has run the MPLA in a manner that rules out any challenge to his leadership.
With the wealth he has amassed, if he relinquishes power it has to be to someone who will keep the business interests in the family.
Since 2011, attention has turned to Manuel Vicente, the state oil company boss who was hurriedly elevated to vice-president, then to Mr Dos Santos' son Jose Filomeno, and most recently to his wealthy businesswoman daughter Isabel.
None of these people will find favour with an increasingly restless public, or with MPLA old timers, who will resent a political newcomer being appointed simply because of connections with the veteran leader.
So two years hence, the president might again present himself as the least bad option. But, aged 73, he must know the question cannot be put off forever.
The former Portuguese colony the biggest military spender in sub-Saharan Africa, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
Since the end of the conflict in 2002, the country has witnessed an economic boom, though critics of the elected government say the wealth has only benefited a small elite.
Ford's net profit was $1.9bn (£1.2bn) in the July-to-September period, compared with $1.1bn for the same quarter in 2014.
The strong revenue growth came mostly from sales in North America, where the F-150 truck and Explorer sports utility vehicle helped drive the increase.
Other markets were not so successful, Europe and South America both saw pre-tax profits decline.
Shares of Ford were up 1.18% ahead of the market opening.
Despite a pre-tax loss of $182m Ford's market share in Europe grew by 30%.
Market share was also up in Brazil, where a slumping economy has made it difficult for the company to turn a profit.
The profit from US truck and SUV sales is a positive sign for Ford, which spent heavily on boosting truck production and preparing for the launches of new SUVs.
Durham Police said the men, both 19, toppled over a small wall while "joking around" but were able to get out with help from nearby door staff.

All five candidates attended the live debate on BBC Somerset earlier at the Numatic factory in Chard.
Labour's manifesto includes plans to delay a proposed upgrade to the A358 from the A303 to the M5 near Taunton.
In December the coalition government committed to dualling the route as part of a scheme to upgrade the South West corridor.
Labour candidate Sheena King said her party wanted to introduce a rail fares freeze up until 2017 and to promote greener transport.
"We do want to upgrade the road (A358) but priorities lie with rail travel and greener forms of travel at the moment," she said.
Conservative candidate Marcus Fysh said: "I don't think we can do without an upgrade of the A358 and A303.
"The A358 particularly is the route between this area (south Somerset) and Hinkley Point (the site of the new nuclear power plant). We need that road to be upgraded."
David Laws from the Liberal Democrats said: "We've got to dual the A303 and A358.
"It's absurd that these days in the summer, traffic is taking an hour queuing up at Stonehenge to get to the West Country. That's really bad for the economy of our area."
Green candidate Emily McIvor said the proposed road scheme was "flawed" and would be "a short-term fix".
"All the research shows that if you improve roads and increase capacity that will just result in increased traffic."
Simon Smedley of UKIP said he supported transport improvements "if they're done within budget and carefully".
He said the £50bn set aside for the HS2 rail project (linking London and the north of England) "should be spent across the country on transport projects".
The candidates for the constituency are:
Marcus Fysh - Conservative
Sheena King - Labour
David Laws - Liberal Democrat
Emily McIvor - Green

The incident happened outside Dornoch Academy at about 15:40.

Jewish Human Rights Watch, an organisation set up to address a claimed rise in anti-Semitism in the UK, has won the right to a judicial review hearing over motions passed by Swansea and Gwynedd councils.
It is believed the legal fight could cost both local authorities tens of thousands of pounds.
Both councils have denied the claims.
In 2010, Swansea council was seeking to be involved in contracts with Veolia, a company which was also part of a consortium looking to build a railway system linking Israel to settlements in occupied East Jerusalem.
The motion put before the council stated the project "not only contravenes UN demands but is in contravention of international law". It also said the United Nations "has demanded that Israeli settlement activities and occupation should not be supported".
A number of councillors called on the council leader at the time and its chief executive to "support the position of the UN in regards to the Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem, so long as to do so would not be in breach of any relevant legislation".
They also called for the council to not do business with "any company in breach of international law or UN obligations or demands, so long as to do so would not be in breach of any relevant legislation".
The motion was approved in June 2010, but it remains non-binding.
In 2014, Gwynedd council passed a motion which called for a trade embargo with Israel, condemning the "attacks by the Israeli state on the territory of the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip".
It also said: "It must be made clear that the proposal condemned the Israeli state and not the Jewish religion."
But a solicitor representing Jewish Human Rights Watch, Robert Festenstein, said: "We would like to see the motions quashed. I don't understand why they would pass it in the first place.
"I mean, they wouldn't pass a motion saying something derogatory about women, so why would they do that about Jews?
"Why would they pass a motion which has a detrimental impact upon the relationship with Jewish people in Swansea, particularly in Wales generally? It has absolutely nothing to do with Swansea."
In a statement a Swansea council spokesman said: "On 10 March 2016, full council decided not to rescind the notice of motion that was passed on 17 June, 2010.
"The council has never boycotted Israeli goods and has no intention of doing so. For legal reasons, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
A spokesman for Gwynedd council said: "It would not be appropriate for us to comment regarding this matter due to ongoing legal proceedings which the council is defending."
JHRW will also be taking action against Leicester council.
The judicial review hearing will begin on Wednesday and is expected to last for two days.
Four counties granted marriage licences to same-sex couples after a federal court threw out a ban on Friday.
But on Tuesday an appellate court stayed the ruling tossing the voter-approved ban, pending an appeal.
Rick Snyder, a Republican, said the marriages were "legal" but the gay marriage ban had been restored.
"We did our own homework and I believe this is a reasonable legal position to take based on the available literature and law," Mr Snyder told reporters on Wednesday.
Other politicians are said to be urging US President Barack Obama's administration to recognise the marriages at the federal level, but the US justice department has not yet commented on the matter.
Michigan voters approved a ban on same-sex marriage in 2004. But on Friday, a federal judge struck it down after two Detroit-area nurses argued that the ban violated their guarantees under the US constitution to equal protection under the law.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, also a Republican, promptly moved for an appeal, and on Tuesday, a federal appeals court reinstated the ban indefinitely as it weighed the state's appeal.
Bans on gay marriage have been ruled unconstitutional in recent months in Texas, Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia, though the rulings have been put on hold pending appeals.
Seventeen states and the District of Columbia currently issue licences for same-sex marriage.
Analysts say the matter will eventually be decided by the US Supreme Court.
Aan was left blind in one eye and severely sight-impaired in the other after the attack on a palm oil plantation in Borneo in 2012.
Vet Claudia Hartley, from Cambridge, performed a three-hour operation on Aan at the Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve in Borneo on Friday.
She said the surgery went "very well".

"We're pleased with how it went," said the 44-year-old volunteer veterinarian ophthalmologist.
"I'd like to assess her better when she's behaving a bit more normally.
"She's still quite sleepy and keeping the eye shut, so it's difficult to know how much she sees."
Ms Hartley's team of four flew out earlier this week with 265lb (120kg) of equipment in an attempt to restore Aan's sight.
They performed a cataract operation on the primate's right eye before removing the left eye, which was blinded permanently by the attack.
The team tried to insert an artificial lens into the right eye but were unable to do so.
After the operation Ms Hartley said: "If we shone a bright light in she would then scrunch her eye up.
"I'm pretty sure she can recognise the light."
She added: "But we can't assess how well she sees food and trees and obstacles and those sort of things which is the more critical thing that we need to do."
If the operation is successful, Aan will continue to be cared for by the Orangutan Foundation at the reserve for a further three to four weeks, before being released into the wild.
Ashley Leiman, director of the foundation, said: "As long as she has some sight, I'm confident she will have a life in the wild."
Lampard - on loan at City from New York City FC until January - wrote his name into Chelsea folklore with 211 goals in 648 appearances for the Stamford Bridge club.
And he added another dramatic chapter to his illustrious story when he slid home a strike with five minutes left after Andre Schurrle looked to have scored the goal that would have given Chelsea an eight-point advantage over the reigning Premier League champions.
City will feel they deserved a point after battling back into contention following the second-half sending-off of defender Pablo Zabaleta following a tussle with Chelsea striker Diego Costa.
The spotlight, inevitably, will focus on 36-year-old Lampard. The former England international refused to celebrate his goal and looked to be on the verge of tears at the final whistle as he received a standing ovation from Chelsea's fans, who set aside their disappointment to acclaim the player who served them so wonderfully.
Lampard's name was chanted by the travelling support before he was also applauded off by City's followers, grateful for a glimpse of the goalscoring gifts that earned Manuel Pellegrini's side a draw.

Jose Mourinho's men remain three points clear at the top of the table despite losing their 100% Premier League record - although there will be disappointment at conceding two points so late on against a City side down to 10 mean.
After the extravaganza of Leicester City's 5-3 win against Manchester United, even two teams of this calibre had a tough act to follow and, for long periods, this was a game that failed to live up to its pre-match billing.
Costa was involved in a bruising physical battle with Vincent Kompany but showed once again that he is up for the fight in the Premier League as he had a hand in Schurrle's goal, was involved in Zabaleta's second yellow card and also struck a post with a shot that almost sealed the three points.
Kompany and his new defensive partner Eliaquim Mangala, making his first start following his £32m summer move from Porto, were in imperious mood but Costa's head never dropped and he looks a striker perfectly suited for the Premier League.
The first 45 minutes were a dull war of attrition as City dominated territory and possession - Chelsea responding with the sort of defensive resilience some suggested had been sacrificed with the introduction of the greater flair of Costa and Cesc Fabregas.
City again applied the pressure after the break but, when Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois was called into action he answered superbly with a low save from Sergio Aguero on the turn from 12 yards, Ramires crucially sweeping the rebound away from Edin Dzeko as he closed in.
Costa had been in close proximity to City's defence throughout, with several hefty physical exchanges, so it was no surprise when the striker was in the tussle that led to Zabaleta's red card.

The Argentine was involved in a tangle with the former Atletico Madrid forward and was penalised for a foul, bringing a second yellow card from referee Mike Dean and an avalanche of outrage from the City fans, who gave Zabaleta a standing ovation as he left the field.
Pellegrini introduced Bacary Sagna for Dzeko to add defensive stability in the face of Chelsea's numerical advantage, but it was not long before the away side made it count.
After a sweeping move, Costa passed to Eden Hazard and his cross was met at the far post by substitute Schurrle, who got in ahead of Mangala to score.
The nuisance that is Costa almost made it two with a shot against a post - setting the stage for Lampard's dramatic intervention.
As the outstanding James Milner turned a cross back at the far post, Lampard showed his old instincts to capitalise on Branislav Ivanovic's failure to track him into the area and wrong-foot Courtois with a volley.
There is still something surreal about seeing Lampard in the sky blue of City rather than the royal blue of Chelsea, but the champions were grateful for that as they took a point.

Yorkshire Water, which employs about 2,000 people in the region, says the recruitment drive is the firm's biggest to date.
The company said the scheme would help fill a skills gap predicted in the utility sector by 2025, partly caused by an ageing workforce.
Recruitment for the new roles will begin in May.
According to recent government figures, the number of 16-24 years olds not in education, employment or training (NEETs) in Yorkshire and the Humber region was 116,000.
But I am actually sitting in a New York hotel room, just a few blocks up - and a hundred lines of security away - from the United Nations.
I could be writing this from the press area at the UN on the East River, but to be honest the internet connectivity is what you might expect in a developing world village, not the epicentre of the global village.
I hope the 180 or so presidents and prime ministers are finding it easier to communicate with each other. So I have retreated to my room, and on the TV the US president has started chairing a meeting of the UN Security Council.
I am struck by the topsy-turvy nature of this presidency. It started with him being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for which he had done nothing, and is ending with him committing to precisely the sort of military action that he had so studiously sought to avoid.
The critique of Barack Obama is that he is the commander-in-chief who wishes that he wasn't, that he's dithered over military action.
I've heard former generals argue that if only he'd done this a couple of years ago, the incubator that has allowed Islamic State to grow would have been shut off.
And the other much vaunted criticism is Mr Obama does not listen to advice. His cabal is small and tight, and if you are on the outside, your voice will not be heard.
One former senior Obama administration official confessed to feeling schadenfreude when he heard the US president had had to call in the grandees of yesteryear to advise on how to tackle Islamic State (IS).
But having listened and pondered (arguably too long) and defined a strategy, there is a clarity of thinking on IS.
On Wednesday, Mr Obama was passionate - these were people beyond the reach of rationality and diplomacy.
"No god condones this terror," he said. "No grievance justifies these actions. There can be no reasoning, no negotiation with this brand of evil.
"The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force. So the United States of America will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this network of death."
Yes, munitions have rained down on IS targets. But what Mr Obama and his administration have sought to do is put in place something more than just a plan of military attack.
The US treasury department is working on staunching the pipeline of money that is keeping IS awash with cash.
The session of the Security Council that the president is chairing now is all about stopping the foreign fighters going to fight in the Middle East, but Mr Obama also urged Muslim communities to challenge the corruption of young minds by violent ideology.
But perhaps the most significant thing this reluctant warrior has done is assemble a broad-based coalition. Forty countries at the moment, but rising all the time. And most significantly, he has brought in several Arab countries to fly alongside US jets.
This allows the US president to say to the international community the strikes are not America acting as global policeman. It allows him to say to his domestic doubters, this is not going to be another war where tens of thousands of American soldiers are bogged down in a protracted, morale-sapping conflict.
He said he wanted the world to unite in this battle. And it just might.

Aged 31, five months and five days, he achieved the landmark by reaching five on the fourth day of the second Test against Sri Lanka at Chester-le-Street.
He brought up the milestone with a leg-side clip for four off Nuwan Pradeep and saluted the England balcony.
He beat India legend Sachin Tendulkar's record of 31 years, 10 months and 20 days, which has stood since 2005.
England's leading Test run-scorer, Cook is the 12th player in history to 10,000 runs, and only the second opener.
Brian Lara, Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, Mahela Jayawardene, Sunil Gavaskar, Jacques Kallis, Allan Border, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Steve Waugh are the other batsmen to reach the milestone.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Cook surpassed Graham Gooch's tally of 8,900 Test runs at Headingley last May to become England's leading run-scorer.
He is playing the 128th Test of a glittering career which has seen him score 28 Test hundreds - also a record for an Englishman.
Cook made a century on debut against India in 2006, but was ruled out of the next match because of illness. He has not missed a Test since.
Appointed captain in 2012 following Andrew Strauss' retirement, Cook led England to Ashes series wins over Australia in 2013 and 2015.
Chief operating officer Foluke Ajayi said patients were likely to experience "long waiting times" because of "increased pressure" on the department.
Those who need urgent treatment will always be prioritised, she added.
Those less seriously ill, however, "could be better treated elsewhere".
She said: "We do occasionally experience sudden increases in attendance which can impact on the time for patients to be seen, treated and either discharged or admitted."
The event at the Royal Festival Hall will be hosted for the first time by former Great British Bake Off presenter Sue Perkins.
Here are a few things to look out for.
The glittering guestlist includes Alan Carr, Amanda Holden, Ant and Dec, Benedict Cumberbatch, Claudia Winkleman, Daniel Mays, David Walliams, Ed Balls, Jessica Raine, Kim Cattrall, Louis Theroux, Nicola Walker, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Olivia Colman, Pearl Mackie, Sarah Lancashire, Scarlett Moffatt, Suranne Jones, Thandie Newton, Tom Hollander and Zawe Ashton.
And by the look of the seating plan (above), The Crown's Claire Foy will spend the ceremony sitting next to EastEnders' Danny Dyer.
She can tell him about Queen Elizabeth. He can tell her about the Queen Vic.
Sue Perkins is taking the reins this year because Norton will have been busy presenting the Eurovision Song Contest in Ukraine one day earlier.
When she was announced as host in March, Perkins tweeted: "Beyond chuffed to be the one keeping the inestimable @grahnort 's seat warm this year."
Cheeky.

Not just a long list of "thank yous" if 2016 is anything to go by.
At last year's Baftas several winners used their speeches to defend the independence of the BBC. The ceremony took place just days before the government published a white paper on the corporation's future.
This year a general election is looming.
Bafta is reported to have emailed nominees asking them to offer "a short anecdote or an interesting detail about the production" in their victory speeches.
According to The Guardian, some of its recipients have dubbed it "a ham-fisted attempt to avoid controversy".
Expect plenty of right royal headlines if the big budget show scoops the drama category.
The Crown's first 10 episodes launched on Netflix in November. Writer Peter Morgan intends to tell the entire story of Britain's monarchy from the reign of George VI, the Queen's father, over 60 episodes.
Claire Foy is up for leading actress for her portrayal of the young Queen Elizabeth.
Jared Harris, who plays George VI, John Lithgow (Winston Churchill) and Vanessa Kirby (Princess Margaret) are all nominated for their supporting roles.
Last year Bafta changed its rules on eligibility which has allowed shows with international funding, such as The Crown, to be entered outside the international category.
This is Claire Foy's second consecutive nomination for lead actress. Last year she was nominated for her role as Anne Boleyn in Wolf Hall, but lost out to Doctor Foster actress Suranne Jones.
This year's competition is just as tough.
She's up against NW's Nikki Amuka-Bird, Happy Valley's Sarah Lancashire and Jodie Comer for BBC Three abduction drama Thirteen.
Yes, we're talking about those shows that weren't made for the traditional broadcast channels.
Netflix has never won a TV Bafta, so victory for The Crown would be a big deal.
It has another shot at glory with sci-fi hit Stranger Things, a strong contender in the international category.
Last year that category went to Netflix rival Transparent, on Amazon Prime, about a Los Angeles family who discover that their retired father is a transgender woman.
And who did it beat? Netflix's Narcos, among others. Ouch.
Transparent is nominated again this year - but there's also stiff competition from HBO's crime drama The Night Of and the Golden Globe-winning The People v O J Simpson: American Crime Story.
And let's not forget all the nominees from online-only channel BBC Three.
Talking of BBC Three, its breakout comedy hit Fleabag has three nominations.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who adapted her own one-woman theatre show, plays a sarcastic, sex-obsessed young woman attempting to navigate modern life in London.
Fleabag is nominated for best scripted comedy, while Waller-Bridge and Fleabag co-star Olivia Colman are up against each other for female comedy performance.
They are up against Lesley Manville for Mum and Diane Morgan for Cunk on Shakespeare.
It's already been announced that the Ab Fab star is being honoured with the prestigious Bafta Fellowship.
Perhaps best known for playing champagne-sipping Patsy Stone, Lumley has had one of the most varied careers in British entertainment.
After starting out as a model she was propelled to fame in the 1970s as Purdey in The New Avengers.
She once took 27 takes to kiss Leonardo DiCaprio when they were filming a scene for The Wolf of Wall Street.
Surely that deserves a Bafta all of its own.
The Virgin TV British Academy Television Awards will be broadcast on BBC One on Sunday at 20:00 BST.

Tributes poured in for Benaud, a former Australian Test captain, after his death last year aged 84.
The limited-run coin salutes his career on and off the field, and features iconic fan group "The Richies".
It was conceived with the approval of Benaud's widow, Daphne.
The Royal Australian Mint said the number of coins - 95,929 - was inspired by combining nine statistics from Benaud's playing career.
After 63 Tests between 1952 and 1964, Benaud became even better known as a prolific commentator, author and columnist.
He was a fixture of summer, inspiring a fan group who attended games wearing Benaud's trademark cream jacket. They also donned grey wigs and carried fake microphones as a light-hearted show of respect.
Benaud last commentated in England in the 2005 Ashes series, but he worked on in Australia until 2013.
The co-founder of The Richies, Michael Hennessy, said the commemorative coin was a fitting tribute to Benaud.
"He's only the second cricketer to be honoured on a coin after Don Bradman," he told the BBC.
"He'll never be replaced, obviously, he's a one-of-a-kind icon of the game."
Mr Hennessy said it was an honour to have The Richies featured in the coin's final design.
"So many people grew up listening to Richie, he shaped summer for so many people," he said.
"Cricket has changed but the game will move on and at least it's nice to remember him with tributes like this."
The Richies have petitioned to turn day two of the SCG Test, played in early January, to be officially recognised as Richie Day.
The girl was walking along Ravensby Road between 13:15 and 13:30 on Monday when the incident took place.
A police spokesman said: "It should be noted that whilst the matter may be innocuous, officers are treating this seriously."
The man was white, in his early 30s, and had short dark spiky hair.
He was tall, and of medium build and was wearing blue denim jeans, a large black jacket with a hood - which was down - and black footwear.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact police.
Syrian refugees are banned from entry until further notice.
Visas for nationals of six countries, including Iran and Iraq, will not be issued for the next three months.
Google has told the BBC it is concerned about the order and any measures which could block great talent from the US.
The BBC's business correspondent Joe Lynam says President Trump's order means that thousands of citizens from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya may not be allowed to board flights bound for the US - even if they hold a so-called "green card" (permanent residents' permit).
Mr Trump said the measure would "keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the US".
But rights groups say there is no link between Syrian refugees in the US and terrorism.
There are already reports of travellers from the countries targeted being turned away as they try to board flights to the US.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee said this appeared to include "green card holders and other visa holders".
It advised nationals from the affected countries but living in the US not to travel abroad.
Some Republicans have welcomed Mr Trump's announcement, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, who said it was "time to re-evaluate and strengthen the visa vetting process".
The new policy is also affecting visits from relatives.
An Iraqi journalist living in the US, Mohammed al-Rawi, posted on Facebook, saying his father had been turned away from a Los Angeles-bound flight in Qatar.
Jamal Abdi from the National Iranian American Council told the investigative journalism organisation Pro Publica: "We are inundated with calls and questions of how this is going to affect people."
The Council on American Islamic Relations says it will file a lawsuit against the executive order.
Silicon Valley, where many employed in the technology industry are of non-US origin, is also worried.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg posted a lengthy note, saying he was "concerned" about the president's executive orders, and noting that he, like many Americans, is the descendant of immigrants.
Under Mr Trump's wide-ranging executive order, all refugee admissions have been suspended for four months.
The text of the order was released several hours after it was signed. Other measures include:
The order also said all immigration programmes should include questions to "evaluate the applicant's likelihood of becoming a positively contributing member of society."
In a TV interview broadcast earlier on Friday, the president said Christians would be given priority among Syrians who apply for refugee status in the future.
Other measures include a broad review of the information required from all countries to approve a visa; a review of visa schemes between nations to ensure they are "truly reciprocal" for US citizens; and the immediate suspension of the Visa Interview Waiver Programme.
But the document says exceptions to most restrictions could be made on a case-by-case basis.
During the election campaign, Mr Trump suggested a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".
The executive order has been met with criticism from rights organisations, Democrats and notable figures.
Democratic Senator Kamala Harris noted that the order had been signed on Holocaust Memorial Day. "Make no mistake - this is a Muslim ban," she wrote.
"During the Holocaust, we failed to let refugees like Anne Frank into our country. We can't let history repeat itself," she said.
Malala Yousafzai, the teenage Nobel Peace Laureate who was shot by the Taliban following her advocacy for women's education in Pakistan, wrote that she was "heartbroken".
"America is turning its back on a proud history of welcoming refugees and immigrants - the people who helped build your country, ready to work hard in exchange for a fair chance at a new life," she added.
The head of American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) condemned the use of the words "extreme vetting", saying it was a "euphemism for discriminating against Muslims".
"Identifying specific countries with Muslim majorities and carving out exceptions for minority religions flies in the face of the constitutional principle that bans the government from either favouring or discriminating against particular religions," Anthony Romero said in a statement.

Kincardine Offshore Windfarm Ltd - a joint project between Pilot Offshore Renewables and Atkins - wants to put up eight turbines about 10 miles off the coast, south of Aberdeen.
It is claimed that placing turbines on semi-submersible platforms would cut construction and installation costs.
The developers will now enter into a period of consultation.
Kincardine wants to start construction in the second quarter of 2016 and have the wind farm operating by the end of 2017.
It could be the world's first array of floating wind turbines.
Allan MacAskill, director of Pilot Offshore Renewables, said: "This is an exciting project that will demonstrate the potential of floating technology in the global offshore wind industry."
Dr Richard Wakefield, senior marine scientist at Atkins, said: "We have carried out the initial environmental assessments for the Kincardine Offshore Wind project and are really excited by the site, the technology and its potential to open the industry up to deeper waters and more productive turbines."
The "Super Six" will replace the BT Premiership, and sit directly above an amateur 12-team Championship.
Below this will come a new three-tier National League system.
The plans, unveiled at Saturday's annual general meeting, aim to close the gap between the club game and professional teams in Scotland.
Scottish Rugby is funding the restructuring with £3.6m of new investment over five years, and the changes will take effect in time for the 2019-20 season.
At present, the BT Premiership, the top tier of the Scottish club game, has 10 clubs, with the National One, Two and Three leagues featuring 12 clubs each.
The union will also revamp its Exiles programme for Scottish-qualified players outside Scotland, implementing a scouting network across the UK and "five other international rugby markets".
Scottish Rugby says performance links with London Scottish, Lille Metropole and Stade Nicois in France, North Harbour in New Zealand, Western Force in Australia, and Stellenbosch Academy in South Africa will complement wider player development.
All the Super Six teams will be overseen by the governing body's high performance department, which will allocate funding for head coaches, strength and conditioning, and analysis support. Funding costs for squads of 35 players will be split between Scottish Rugby and the clubs, with teams playing a 20-match season.
With franchises in the Super Six running for five years at a time, Scottish Rugby hopes teams in the Scottish Championship and national leagues "can build stronger community ties and focus investment on developing their clubs in the absence of player payments".
Clubs can apply to join the Super Six tier, but will be required to contribute their own investment "to complement Scottish Rugby's financial support".
The union says teams will be geographically aligned with Scottish Rugby's four regions - Caledonia, Glasgow and the West, Edinburgh and the East and the Borders - with two floating teams, and partnered with one of Scotland's two professional teams, either Glasgow Warriors or Edinburgh Rugby.
The national leagues will be feeder clubs for Super Six teams in their region to ensure an upward flow of talent through the leagues to the top tiers.
The governing body announced on Friday it had generated £50m in annual turnover for the first time, and chief executive Mark Dodson hailed the radical domestic shake-up at Saturday's AGM.
"It is a new beginning for our whole sport, not just the top clubs," Dodson said. "It resets the ambitions of everybody and offers every club a fresh start.
"For the first time since the game went professional this strategy involves all the clubs in the success of our national team. We want to create strong sustainable clubs that can play at the level which best suits them and that they can choose.
"We wanted to create clear pathways for players, coaches and officials, alongside closing the gap between our domestic game and the professional teams so we can maximise the resources we have and allow talented players to develop in good environments and fulfil their potential.
"We want to see clubs invest in their infrastructures and future growth so the National Leagues will have amateur status and the Super Six will be where player payments make better sense.
"This is not a radical plan, it is simply overdue and we look forward to working with all the clubs in Scotland to deliver this new structure for the wider benefit of the game at large."
The Scottish champions are in Group C with Barcelona, Manchester City and Borussia Monchengladbach.
"We know the teams we are up against are huge teams, but it doesn't stop us trying to fight and seeing where it takes us," said Rodgers.
"We are not in it just to make up the numbers."
Rodgers has already lost to Barcelona as Celtic manager - 3-1 in a pre-season friendly in Dublin.
"They are the best in the world and, for us, these are really tough games, but the home games are going to be exciting because of the level of support we have," he said.
"The pre-season game was a pre-season fitness exercise for both teams, but we know their level and it is up there with the best in the world.
"Manchester City have taken on a new identity with Pep Guardiola going in and you will see early stages of what he is trying to do, which will be the Barcelona game model.
"Borussia Monchengladbach are like a lot of German teams. Young players, work very hard and very good on the counter attack.
"You are playing against the elite players in the world, which obviously pose you different problems, but our aim is to have a go and we will look to be super competitive."
Celtic missed out on the group stage twice under predecessor Ronny Deila and, having come through the qualifiers, went into Thursday's draw among the bottom pot of teams.
"It is a great milestone that we have been able to qualify after a difficult couple of years," said Rodgers.
"I think everyone recognises it is an extremely tough group. You have maybe got the top teams from each of the different pots all in one group."
Rodgers confirmed that qualification for the group stage would mean extra funds to further strengthen his side.
"It allows us hopefully to add to our squad before the window shuts," he said.
"That was always going to be the case, but of course, once qualification is done, it opens up some more funds in order to do that.
"If we can get the right one or two players in, that is what we will look to do. We've got a few ideas of players that we want, but nothing imminent at this time."
Rodgers added that "it is great for Celtic and Patrick Roberts" that Manchester City had given permission to the 19-year-old on-loan winger to face his parent club as it would be a good "part of his learning".
Summer signing Scott Sinclair was previously on the books at City, and is relishing returning to his former club on Champions League duty. He says, however, he does not feel he has a point to prove to his old employers having failed to make a significant impact during his spell at the Etihad.
"Not really a point to prove," Sinclair said.
"Going back to City, on a personal level, that will be fantastic. Being in the Champions League and being involved in it is much better for me than when I was at City, not really involved some weeks. But here I'm feeling at home, feel proper involved and I can't wait to get started.
"I think it will be nice to go just back and see some old faces and some friends.
"I don't think any group is easy. You get the big teams in the Champions League and the group stage is going to be difficult. To have Barcelona and Man City is going to be difficult, but I don't think we've got that much pressure on us. We just need to play our game and enjoy it."
It is understood that no-one was seriously injured in the accident, which happened after the cows strayed on to the motorway.
Five cars were involved and three cattle were later euthanised.
Irish police said eight cows had strayed half a kilometre, crossing two roundabouts before reaching the M3.
The police were informed of the crash at 05:30 GMT, and one person was taken to hospital for checks.
The road was closed in both directions, but has since reopened.
The museum has had 1.7m visitors since the start of April, 25% up on 2012, and was the UK's most popular cultural attraction for the sixth year running.
Visits in May were up 42% up on last year and were the highest on record.
"What's really pleasing about those figures is that visitors are so young," said museum director Neil MacGregor.
The report for 2012/13 said the 43% of visitors were aged between 16-34.
Future shows will include an in-depth look at sex in Japanese art and an exhibition on Germany in 2014 to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
"Germany is a critical force in the shaping of Europe," Mr MacGregor told the BBC. "We want to look at the long history of Germany and how German identity is shaped by elements from its deep past.
"Most of us in Britain tend to think of German history as essentially from 1914 to now. They are hugely important years but they are part of a much longer story."
The current blockbuster show Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum achieved its original visitor target of 250,000 in three months of a six-month run.
It is on course to be the third most popular charging exhibition in the British Museum's history - after 1972's Treasures of Tutankhamun and 2007's The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army.
The exhibition Shakespeare: Staging the world was seen by more than 105,000 visitors, while Ice Age Art closed in early June with more than 90,000 visitors - a 133% increase on the original target of 40,000.
Overall, the British Museum had more than 5.575 million visitors in 2011/2012, slightly down on the previous year's 5.8 million visitors.
Mr MacGregor also said the British Museum would have to "think very carefully" how to accommodate an expected 5% cut in government funding to museums for 2015-2016.
"We don't know what we'll be able to continue to do, or what we'll have to reduce," he said. "Here you have very successful museums in London and how we can keep offering to our visitors what they want is going to be the big challenge."
Artist Dean Tweedy and his wife Tracy, along with their children, wanted a petting farm so psychotherapist Mrs Tweedy could run therapy sessions for people with mental illnesses.
But they instead bought The Animalarium - a zoo near Borth, for £625,000.
They have moved in with the animals - including the biggest attractions, lions Zulu and Wilma.
"Our friends and family reacted with surprise at first saying 'you've bought a zoo?'," said Mrs Tweedy.
"It was mainly disbelief, but for those who really know us it's not that surprising because we've always had dozens of animals.
"People described our old house as being like a zoo. Now we actually have our own one."
The Animalarium had 27,000 visitors in 2016 and over the years it has taken on animals not wanted at other zoos because of over-breeding or from people unable to cope with them as pets.
Staffing and food costs about £12,000 per month and it was put on the market after the previous owners decided to retire.
The family now plan to extend the enclosures and put on more interactive tours, showcasing the animals.
"I just want to get in there and give them [the lions] a big squeeze and a hug but I've been told I'm not allowed because I'd probably lose my arms and die," added Mrs Tweedy.
"But maybe one day when they're sedated I can go in and give them a hug."
Nicola Sturgeon continued to insist, however, that no final decision had yet been made on holding such a vote.
In a BBC interview she would take things forward at "the pace that I think is right for the country".
Ms Sturgeon has previously said another referendum is "highly likely" following last year's Brexit vote.
Scotland voted by 62% to 38% to remain inside the EU, and the Scottish government argues that access to the single market after Brexit is vital to the country's interests.
Scottish ministers have put forward proposals they claim could achieve this, but have accused the UK government of "intransigence" on the issue.
In a recent speech in Edinburgh, Ms Sturgeon said a second independence referendum may become a "necessary" way of protecting Scotland's interests.
Interviewed by BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg for a BBC documentary to be broadcast on Thursday, she gave her clearest indication yet about the possible timing of such a vote.
Asked if autumn 2018 was a likely date, she replied: "Within that window, of when the outline of a UK deal becomes clear and the UK exiting the EU, I think would be common sense time for Scotland to have that choice, if that is the road we choose to go down."
Asked if that meant she was not ruling out autumn 2018 as a possible date, she said: "I'm not ruling anything out, I'm going to continue to, to take things forward at the pace that I think is right for the country."
Analysis by BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg
At Westminster and Holyrood in recent months there's been a building sense that Nicola Sturgeon has made up her mind to call a vote.
If she is now willing to discuss the timing of a second vote in public, consideration of another independence referendum is far beyond the hypothetical.
The crucial facet of that calculation is that the SNP believes its best chance of winning is before the EU negotiations are complete.
But also, it's up to the Westminster government to permit another referendum. There are huge risks for them in denying it, but ministers in London certainly would not grant a vote at the time of the SNP's choosing without a fight.
More from Laura Kuenssberg
Scotland voted to stay part of the UK by 55% to 45% in the 2014 independence referendum.
Ms Sturgeon's predecessor as first minister, Alex Salmond, has already predicted that a second independence referendum would take place in autumn next year.
While the SNP does not hold an overall majority at Holyrood, it could count on the support of the Scottish Greens if the Scottish Parliament voted on holding a new referendum.
Permission to hold such a vote, however, would have to be granted by the UK government at Westminster.
Prime Minister Theresa May has so far declined to be drawn on whether her government would allow a second referendum.
In her speech to the Scottish Conservative Party conference earlier this month, Mrs May accused the SNP of being "obsessed with its own priority of independence" to the detriment of devolved public services like education and health.
Nicola Sturgeon's interview was recorded for the BBC documentary Brexit:Britain's Biggest Deal - to be broadcast on BBC Two at 21:00 and on BBC Two Scotland at 23:15 on Thursday.
Over 30 other staff members were detained whilst gunmen raided the office of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Donetsk.
The raid led to the IRC halting its aid work in Ukraine.
IRC President David Miliband said that aid workers "should never be targeted" and that the raid was an "affront to the IRC's principles".
In a statement the former UK foreign secretary said that the two men were healthy and in a safe location, before condemning their captors.
"The actions taken by the security forces of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, including the intimidation of our dedicated humanitarian staff, are an affront to those principles. Every day, the world's humanitarian workers show great courage, taking risks help the most vulnerable in crisis situations. They should never be targeted."
The masked gunmen seized 37 IRC workers on 29 April. Five international members of staff from Canada, Britain, Georgia and Chile were forced to leave rebel-controlled territory, in eastern Ukraine.
However two US workers were held by officials apparently working for the the self-declared People's Republic of Donetsk Ministry of State Security.
On the day of the raid Russia's Interfax news agency cited a DPR security ministry spokesman accusing the IRC of concealing "eavesdropping equipment" in their Donetsk office.
The spokesman claimed that "foreigners regularly travelled to Ukraine, but not in order to accompany [the IRC on] humanitarian missions".
"Foreign employees established contact with officials in DPR ministries and agencies, showing interest in obtaining information about the situation in the republic," he said.
He also accused the agency of "hiring DPR citizens for work without signing agreements with them, evading the payment of taxes into the DPR budget".
Heavily armed rebels have been fighting government forces for a year in Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
The West says Russia has armed the rebels and sent in regular soldiers - an accusation echoed by independent experts. Moscow insists that any Russians on the rebel side are volunteers. | British number two Heather Watson beat France's Caroline Garcia 6-1 6-2 to reach the final of the Monterrey Open.

The Proteas, needing 218 to win, never recovered after a disastrous start left them 10-3 and were bowled out for 109.

The Proteas' bowling attack was lacking injured paceman Dale Steyn, off the field with a groin strain, but spinners Imran Tahir (4-48) and Simon Harmer (4-61) did the damage. Indeed, 34 of the 40 wickets in the Test fell to spin.
But South Africa, who trailed by 17 runs on first innings, failed to come to grips with the conditions. Their batsmen were rattled with the ball turning viciously and also keeping low on the odd occasion.

Langi was released by Australian side Penrith Panthers earlier this month, with Leigh giving him a short-term deal with the option of a further year.
The 24-year-old, who has seven caps for Tonga, is versatile and can play in the back-row, at halfback or at centre.
"He is a true footballer who covers a number of positions but plays them very well," said head coach Neil Jukes.
"He is a big, strong, athletic player with a hunger to succeed and he will add a wealth of size, speed and strength to our back-line or middle unit."
Langi could make his debut for bottom-of-the-table Leigh when they play Warrington in the Super League on 7 July.
Officers are working with Historic England to inspect scrapyards where thieves might try to sell lucrative metals such as lead and copper.
They say some dealerships are failing to carry out checks when they are offered metal for sale.
It is estimated that the thefts cost the country as much as £770m a year.
A church in the village of Beeby, near Leicester, was one of the latest victims of the crime.
Peter Aires, from the charity Churches Conservation Trust, said: "In late July we found out the north aisle roof had been stolen. It effectively damages over 1,000 years worth of history that is there.
"They are so important and are buildings that belong to everybody. It is not private property, it is there for everybody and the damage is untold."
Officers from Operation Crucible are taking members of Historic England along when they investigate scrapyards to help them understand how thieves operate.
Heritage expert Nick Molyneux, who joined police during an inspection of a metal dealership in the Midlands, said: "It is particularly valuable to find out how vigorous the police are about looking for all the material.
"I can then feed this back particularly when I go to speak to churches about the whole problem of lead theft."
Mark Harrison, Historic England's policing and crime adviser, said the thieves were attacking the nation's cultural heritage, and had to be taken on before it was too late.
The Local Government Association estimates metal thefts - of materials including electricity cables, railway lines, war memorials, road signs, children's playground equipment and church roofs - cost the country as much as £770m a year.
The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 requires all scrap dealers and motor salvage operators in England and Wales to apply for a licence from their local authority and keep records on whom they buy from.
It also gives councils the power to assess whether each licence applicant is a "suitable person" - including examining criminal convictions - and increased powers to carry out inspections.
Dealers who operate without a licence face prosecution - with fines of up to £1,000, limits on trading hours and the possibility of being shut down.
The 33-year-old tempered five birdies with three bogeys, leaving him on 22 points - two behind leader Greg Chalmers of Australia at the PGA Tour's only modified Stableford event.
England's Greg Owen - the other Brit to make the cut - is tied for 53rd.
The winner of the competition will earn £2.3m and an Open Championship spot.
Laird said it would be "great" to secure a place in the field at Royal Troon later this month.
He said: "It's always nice for me to go back to Scotland. The Open is my favourite tournament in the year."
The Barracuda Championship - formerly known as the Reno-Tahoe Open - is the only one on the PGA Tour to use a modified Stableford format, with eagles worth five points and birdies worth two.

Matthew Hamlen was convicted of Georgina Edmonds' 2008 murder on Tuesday. He was acquitted of the same charge in 2012 due to poor DNA evidence.
He was re-arrested after "powerful fresh evidence" came to light.
Mr Justice Saunders, at Winchester Crown Court, said the killer must serve a minimum of 30 years in prison.
During the trial, jurors heard Mrs Edmonds was stabbed several times and tortured for her debit card PIN code before being battered with a rolling pin.
Read more: Fresh DNA clues convict murderer
Sentencing, Mr Justice Saunders said: "It was a murder which shocked the community in which Georgina Edmonds lived.
"She was battered to death with a marble rolling pin in her own home by a complete stranger.
"I have no doubt that when he inflicted those blows, Matthew Hamlen intended to kill Georgina Edmonds."
Mr Justice Saunders said that although 30 years might seem a short sentence for such a serious crime, Hamlen would "qualify as an old age pensioner" by the time he was eligible for parole.
He added that there were "limited mitigating features" as Hamlen had "lived a blameless life for the four years since his acquittal" in 2012.
Mrs Edmonds was found by her son Harry in her cottage, where she lived alone, on the banks of the River Itchen in Hampshire.
Mr Edmonds said: "It has contained almost as many twists and turns as an Agatha Christie thriller.
"The investigation has lasted eight long years and, sadly, was not a tale written to entertain people but the true story of a wicked and vicious crime"
Following a two-year manhunt, during which almost 2,000 people were DNA tested, Hamlen was eventually charged with murder in 2010.
His DNA profile was incomplete, however, and he was acquitted.
But detectives later found new DNA evidence on Mrs Edmonds' blouse.
Ian Harris, from the Crown Prosecution Service said: "Georgina Edmonds was brutally and callously murdered in her own home.
"It has taken two trials and eight long years for her family to obtain justice."
On Thursday, 26 rebels were killed in a similar operation in southern Colombia, prompting the Farc to suspend its unilateral ceasefire.
The rebels and the government have been in peace talks for more than two years.
They have said they will not pull out of the process, but they have accused the authorities of "incoherence".
President Juan Manuel Santos has said he expects the rebels to retaliate, but made an appeal to "speed up" negotiations.
"That is exactly what we need to put an end to: this spiral of violence, hatred, vengeance and retaliation, which has driven us to 50 years of war," he said.
Thursday's operation - in the country's south-western Cauca region - was the deadliest since the resumption of air strikes against the rebels last month.
The Farc has repeatedly called for a full bilateral ceasefire during the peace negotiations.
But the Colombian government says the rebels have used previous truces to rearm and regroup.
Some 220,000 people are estimated to have died in more than five decades of violence and at least three million have been displaced.
November 2012 - Formal peace talks begin in the Cuban capital Havana between the Colombian government and the Farc.
May 2013 - A deal is reached on land reform, one of the most contentious issues. It calls for fair access to land, and rural development, two key causes of the conflict.
November 2013 - The two sides agree on the political participation of the Farc should a peace deal be reached.
May 2014 - Both parties pledge to eliminate all illicit drug production in Colombia.
December 2014 - Farc declares a unilateral ceasefire.
March 2015 - Both sides agree to work together to remove landmines. Colombia is one of the most heavily mined countries in the world.
April 2015 Government resumes air strikes after the Farc kills 11 soldiers in ambush.
May 2015 Farc suspends its unilateral ceasefire after government military operation kills 26 rebel fighters.

Padge-Victoria Windslowe, 43, used industrial-grade silicone to increase the size of women's buttocks.
The procedure killed a 20-year-old London dancer who travelled to Philadelphia in 2011 for the operation.
During the trial Windslowe boasted about her work, calling herself "the Michelangelo of buttocks injections".
She was found guilty in March of third-degree murder for the death of Claudia Aderotimi, a British woman who flew to Philadelphia for the procedure.
Aderotimi died in 2011 after receiving injections in an airport hotel.
Windslowe ran "pumping parties" in residences, where women received the procedure to enhance their backsides.
Despite government warnings, the use of low-grade silicone for plastic surgery continues underground among women that cannot afford professional plastic surgery.
Windslowe once ran a transgender escort service and performed in "Gothic hip-hop" music videos.

Traffic restrictions were put in place in some city streets as the annual procession took place to mark the 1690 Battle of the Boyne.
Police said about 7,000 people had attended, with 20 people arrested for minor offences.
The event, which left from Glasgow's Cathedral Square at 09:25, is one of the year's biggest police operations.
Police had earlier urged anyone planning to take part in or watch the parade to "leave the booze and bigotry behind".
Ch Supt Andy Bates, of Police Scotland, said the force had been working with the Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland to ensure the event was safe.
He said: "Generally it is the unwelcome minority who turn up and use the event as an excuse to drink and cause offence who we have to deal with rather than the marchers themselves.
"We will not tolerate any sectarian or antisocial behaviour nor drinking in public.
"Our message is clear - come along and enjoy the day. However, commit any offence, sectarian or otherwise, and you will be arrested."
Eddy Hyde, of the Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland, said: "We once again call upon every member of the Orange Order to enjoy the day with the utmost decorum.
"Our parades are a celebration of our heritage, not an excuse for anyone to criticise anyone else's faith or beliefs."
The parade comes the month after the Order held a day of events in Glasgow's George Square which was dubbed "Orangefest".
More than 27,000 people signed a petition opposing the event, which passed peacefully.
They crossed the line together, but the judge confirmed Ulysses as the winner by a nose from the 9-4 Barney Roy, ridden by James Doyle.
The result was especially sweet for winning jockey Jim Crowley.
He was surprisingly replaced on better-fancied contender Eminent - which finished fifth - during the week.
Crowley had steered Ulysses to third place in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot last month.
"I was just delighted to get back on this horse after finishing third aboard him at Royal Ascot," said Crowley after his Sandown victory.
"We learnt a little about each other that day and this was a fantastic performance."
Desert Encounter, a 50-1 shot ridden by Sean Levey, was third.
Cliffs Of Moher, the 7-4 favourite, did not recover after stumbling badly.
Ridden by Ryan Moore, the runner-up in last month's Derby was tightened up on the rail and lost vital ground.
Stoute said he had to wait before celebrating.
"A lot of people congratulated me and said 'well done, well done', but I said 'let's just hold on'," he added.
"I just felt he was holding on, holding on, but I was watching from a poor angle and I just didn't know."
Jockey Silvestre de Sousa, who rode Eminent, and Derby-winning jockey Padraig Beggy, who was on board Taj Mahal, which finished last, picked up two and eight-day bans respectively for careless riding.
Meanwhile, Stoute was fined £1,000 as the stewards ruled Ulysses had entered the parade ring after the signal to mount had been given.
Earlier, Battaash (5-2 favourite) was an impressive winner of the five-furlong sprint under Dane O'Neill for trainer Charlie Hills.
BBC Sport horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
A thrilling finish, but a rough race too in which Cliffs Of Moher was badly impeded early on - Ryan Moore thought it cost him any chance of success.
Ulysses, ridden by Jim Crowley after he was surprisingly replaced in midweek on Eminent (fifth), was moving conspicuously well entering the closing stages.
While he looked likely to win from then, Barney Roy showed fighting spirit galore and ended up going down by just a nose.
On this evidence, Barney Roy looks the outstanding three-year-old colt at the moment, but Cliffs Of Moher deserves another chance.

Condor said passengers travelling to Poole should only experience a slight delay.
Whereas those travelling back from Guernsey to Jersey on the Rapide are facing a three-hour delay due to the issues with the Liberation.

Forest fires and poaching have led to a decrease in the population.
Some baby orangutans don't have parents to teach them how to look after themselves.
International Animal Rescue has more than 100 of the animals at its sanctuary in Ketapang in western Kaliman province.
It's set up a forest school so the orangutans can play and learn how to survive in the wild.
It can take up to eight years for the babies to be ready to be released.
The trio were detained at their home addresses at 06:00 BST on Tuesday.
They are being held at a station in the West Midlands Police area.
Searches are now being carried out at eight associated addresses in the Walsall area and one in Moseley, Birmingham.
Police said the operation, undertaken by officers from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit, was "pre-planned and intelligence-led".
There was no immediate threat to public safety, they said.
The arrests were made under terrorism legislation, meaning officers have an initial 48 hours to question the suspects before charging or releasing them, or applying for a warrant of further detention.
Neil Acourt, of Eltham, south-east London, was described as the "man at the top" of a scheme moving huge amounts of cannabis to the North East.
The 41-year-old, also known as Neil Stuart, was arrested in relation to the racist attack on Mr Lawrence in 1993.
He was jailed for six years and three months for conspiracy to supply drugs.
Five other men were also sentenced at Kingston Crown Court over the plot, while another man who was caught with 100kg of cannabis resin in his van was jailed at a previous hearing.
The two-year conspiracy involved numerous journeys from London to the South Shields area to deliver drugs and collect cash.
The judge Recorder Paul Clements said Acourt had been at a very high level in the plot with others reporting to him.
He said the conspiracy involved a concerted effort to move large amounts of cannabis "that in any estimation would have kept the people of the Newcastle area in spliffs for many a long day".
Acourt was described as a "buffer", handling over a dozen bundles of cash, ranging from £15,000 to £40,000 each, in return for 2.5% of the money.
Jonas Milner, defending, said Acourt "genuinely" regretted what he did, adding he was now a family man.
"Perhaps one of the problems with you is that, for various reasons, you have heard too much negativity about you and begun to believe the negative publicity about you," Recorder Clements said.
"Perhaps it's time to walk away from that aspect of your personality and whatever or whoever it is controlling those parts."
Acourt's co-defendants were also handed substantial jail terms for their roles in the conspiracy.
They included Acourt's childhood friend James Botton, 45, father-in-law Jack Vose, 63, and family friend Lee Birks, 55.
Vose, from Bexley, Kent - who was caught with the cannabis resin in the back of his white van in South Shields last February - and Botton, of Greenwich, were both sentenced to four years and nine months.
Paul Beavers, 49, of Backworth, Tyne and Wear was sentenced to three years and four months; while Daniel Thompson, 28, of South Shields was sentenced to four years and two months.
Birks, of Orpington, Kent, had his sentence postponed for medical reports.
All six had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply a Class B drug between January 2014 and February 2016.
He is yet to oversee a La Liga win since taking charge in December, as Ruben Castro's second-half goal gave Betis a first win in 13 games.
Neville faced calls to resign following a 7-0 loss in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final at Barcelona.
He refused to quit, but may now face more questions about his future.
The former Manchester United skipper's record in La Liga now shows four losses and five draws from nine games, as Betis secured only their second home league win of the season.
The first was against Real Sociedad, then managed by ex-Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes, in September.
Veteran striker Castro, 34, struck the only goal of the game four minutes into the second half as he tapped in after on-loan Norwich striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel had driven the ball across goal.
Neville's side, who are now only four points above the relegation places, almost equalised immediately but an effort from ex-Manchester City forward Alvaro Negredo was cleared by defender Juan Manuel Vargas in front of an otherwise open goal.
Valencia were reduced to 10 men for the final few minutes when defender Jose Luis Gaya was sent off for pulling back on-loan Chelsea midfielder Charly Musonda which earned him a second yellow card.
Both sides had efforts ruled out for offside and Neville saw the last chance of a point disappear in stoppage time when Betis goalkeeper Antonio Adan raced off his line to deny Rodrigo as Valencia's scoreless run extended to three games.

Many sites have adopted the secure version of the basic web protocol to help safeguard data.
The proposal was made by the Google developers working on the search firm's Chrome browser.
Security experts broadly welcomed the proposal but said it could cause confusion initially.
The proposal to mark HTTP connections as non-secure was made in a message posted to the Chrome development website by Google engineers working on the firm's browser.
If implemented, the developers wrote, the change would mean that a warning would pop-up when people visited a site that used only HTTP to notify them that such a connection "provides no data security".
The team said it was odd that browsers currently did nothing to warn people when their data was unprotected.
"The only situation in which web browsers are guaranteed not to warn users is precisely when there is no chance of security," they wrote.
HTTPS uses well-established cryptographic systems to scramble data as it travels from a user's computer to a website and back again.
The team said warnings were needed because it was known that cyber thieves and government agencies were abusing insecure connections to steal data or spy on people.
Rik Ferguson, a senior analyst at security firm Trend Micro, said warning people when they were using an insecure connection was "a good idea".
"People seem to make the assumption that communications such as HTTP and email are private to a degree when exactly the opposite is the case," he said.
Letting people know when their connection to a website is insecure could drive sites to adopt more secure protocols, he said.
Currently only about 33% of websites use HTTPS, according to statistics gathered by the Trustworthy Internet Movement which monitors the way sites use more secure browsing technologies.
Paul Mutton, a security analyst at web monitoring firm Netcraft, also welcomed the proposal, saying it was "bizarre" that an unencrypted HTTP connection gave rise to no warnings at all.
"In the short term, the biggest headache is likely to be faced by website operators who will feel forced to migrate unencrypted HTTP websites to encrypted HTTPS," he said. Many may resent the cost in time and money required to adopt the technology, he said, even though projects exist to make it easier and free for website administrators to use HTTPS.
"It will seem like a lot of hassle in the short term, but it will be a good thing for the whole web in the long run," he said.
The Google proposal was also floated on discussion boards for other browsers and received guarded support from the Mozilla team behind the Firefox browser and those involved with Opera.
Many large websites and services, including Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook and GMail, already use HTTPS by default. In addition, since September Google has prioritised HTTPS sites in its search rankings.

The experts reported that YouTube did not count many of the "fake views" they directed at their own videos. But it still charged the researchers for many of them.
The case highlighted the need for more transparent analytics, said one expert.
Google said it would work with the researchers to improve its performance.
"We're contacting the researchers to discuss their findings further. We take invalid traffic very seriously and have invested significantly in the technology and team that keep this out of our systems. The vast majority of invalid traffic is filtered from our systems before advertisers are ever charged," a spokesman said.
The experts tested the systems employed by five video platforms, including YouTube.
In the case of the Google-owned site YouTube, they uploaded videos and bought ads targeted at them using Google's AdWords service. They then set up a series of bots - automated systems that carry out their commands - to target fake views at the videos.
YouTube carries out two separate counts of video views. The first, called the public view count, determines how many times the video has been seen and is displayed publicly. The second, the monetised view count, determines the viewership for the purposes of calculating advertising charges.
The researchers found that the public view counter was significantly more discerning than the monetised one. On two of the videos they uploaded, Google publicly counted only 25 of the 150 fake views as real. But its monetised view counter waved through 91.
They also found that they were charged for fake views on another two videos, but YouTube then identified the activity as suspicious in a secondary check and suspended the associated account.
"YouTube uses a seemingly permissive detection mechanism to discount fake monetised views," wrote the researchers, who are from four institutions - UC3M, Imdea, NEC Labs Europe and Polito.
They said that the issue "exposed advertisers to the risk of building their advertisement campaigns on unreliable statistics" when the public view counter was "much more discriminative", demonstrating that YouTube was capable of more accurately identifying fake views.
Bots are used by a host of companies - such as search engines and analytics firms - to crawl the web to draw out information and index and archive web pages. A 2013 study suggested that they responsible for more than 60% of all web traffic.
Daniel Knapp, an expert in advertising at IHS analysts, said that the issue had already caused widespread concern.
"We have a paradoxical situation where there is much more data than ever before, but even less information on what it actually means.
"There is no single standard online. In this context, the issue has come up time and again. Google published a report saying that only 54% of video adverts is even seen, not including that on YouTube, where the figure was 91%.
"Large advertisers want to measure a return on their investments and do not trust the metrics that online companies provide. There is huge pressure to up the game and provide clear measurement of adverts. The problem is that there is no gold standard," he said.
The cliff fall saw thousands of tonnes of chalk fall on an eight-metre (26ft) stretch, that RNLI officer Alan Novis described as the biggest he had seen in his lifetime.
People have been advised to stay at least 100m (320ft) away from the edge and also avoid the cliff base.
Mr Novis said a "vast volume" fell.
Urging people to also keep dogs on leads, he said: "Instinct will kick in as soon as they see a rabbit or a seagull and often then the owners are then very close to the cliff as well and it puts people in real danger."
Sussex university geologist Dr John Barlow said cliff falls happened because of wave energy delivered by the sea to the cliff base, that weakened the rock.
"It's very exciting to see this. We like to look at the frequency in magnitude rock-fall events to understand how quickly erosion is going," he said.
Mr Novis added: "This is a natural process, so these cliffs are eroding all year round."
In court were Declan Brady, 51, of The Park, Celbridge, Jonathon Harding, 44, from Kardiff Avenue in Naas, and James Walsh, 33, from Wheatfield Avenue in Clondalkin.
All three are charged with possession of five handguns.
The weapons were found at Greenogue industrial estate on Tuesday.
The guns seized were a .357 Magnum, and four Smith and Wesson Rossi revolvers.
The men were also accused of possession of a silencer and 20 rounds of ammunition in suspicious circumstances.
An armed police unit brought the three men to Dublin District Court on Friday afternoon.
Three officers from the Garda Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution.
The court heard that Mr Brady replied "no" to each charge, Mr Walsh said "no comment" and Mr Harding did not reply.
They were remanded in custody to appear again in court by video link next Wednesday.
Somerset started well, dismissing Nick Compton and Stevie Eskinazi before Adam Voges and Paul Sterling (52) put on a vital 101-run partnership.
Voges was forced to retire hurt on 86, but James Franklin (38 not out) and Ollie Rayner (29) saw them get within 150 runs of the visitors' 443.
Poor light stalled the final session as Middlesex finished 311-7, 132 behind.
Beginning the day on 42-0, the hosts were under pressure immediately as Tim Groenewald (2-36) trapped Compton lbw and Lewis Gregory bowled Eskinazi.
Nick Gubbins fell for 56 before Sterling and Voges steadied the ship against Somerset's seamers with a good partnership.
However, when Sterling fell just after bringing up his first half-century of the season and John Simpson departed to another Steven Davis catch shortly after, Somerset had the follow-on in their sights.
Toby Roland-Jones fell cheaply, but Franklin and Rayner's stand of 42 got them past the follow-on target, meaning neither side is likely to force a first County Championship win of the season on the final day.

The 66-year-old, of Ballybinaby, Hackballscross, County Louth, denies nine charges of failing to furnish tax returns between 1996 and 2004.
The prosecution claims he failed to supply returns despite significant cattle and land dealings.
The charges follow an investigation by the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB).
At Dublin's Special Criminal Court on Tuesday, a prosecuting lawyer read a detective's statement to the court.
It said that on 9 March 2006, CAB members searched a shed at Ballybinaby and found three black plastic bags and a case.
Cash, cheques and documents relating to the oil industry and to farming and livestock were found inside, the court heard.
The trial continues.
Father Michael Higginbottom, 74, is accused of abusing the boy while he was a teacher at St Joseph's College in Upholland, Lancashire, in the 1970s.
It was a venue for "mental, physical and sexual abuse', Liverpool Crown Court was told.
He denies four counts of a serious sexual offence and indecent assault.
The boy was aged between 13 and 14 at the time of the alleged abuse.
The court heard Mr Higginbottom, now of West Farm Road, Newcastle, said he would strike the alleged victim with a strap if he did not attend his living quarters, where much of the abuse was alleged to have happened, at appointed times.
The boarding school, which has now closed, was attended by boys aged 11 to 18, many of whom were considering a career in the priesthood.
David Temkin, prosecuting, said the boy described the school as a "cold, dark and forbidding place".
He added: "He told the police that for him it was the venue for 'mental, physical and sexual abuse'."
Mr Temkin said the defendant worked at the school as a priest and teacher and was "therefore in a position of trust".
The court was told that about a week after the boy started at the college, he was invited into Mr Higginbottom's living quarters where he locked the door and ordered him to undress before sexually assaulting him.
Mr Temkin said the defendant then told the boy things would "get easier" for him at the college.
The victim revealed the allegations to a friend in 2013, who encouraged him to report them to police.
When Higginbottom was arrested he told the police the claims were "total lies" and could not remember the complainant.
The trial continues.
Red Peak, designed by Wellington resident Aaron Dustin, was on the long list but did not make the final four.
The finalists were revealed to widespread disdain last week, with many saying said they were too boring, too corporate or unrepresentative.
But PM John Key has already said no to adding Red Peak into the contest.
Mr Dustin has made the case that his flag design is simple and meaningful.
He says on his blog it uses the shape of traditional weaving patterns, and "suggests a landscape of alpine ranges, red earth, and black sky", while referencing the Maori creation myth of Ranginui and Papatuanuku, also known as Rangi and Papa.
It also highlights New Zealand's position near the international dateline, which makes it one of the "first to hold the light of new day", he said.
By Monday evening, more than 28,000 people had signed a petition started four days ago by a C Wilson.
"The other options look like a random assemblage of How should New Zealand choose a new flag? clipart. This looks like a flag," said Auckland resident, Camryn Brown.
"This is drawable, strongly and appropriately symbolic flag that looks like a FLAG. It will be something I could proudly display," said another signatory, Liza Bolton.
Oscar Hemingway in Auckland said Red Peak was "has the simplicity needed to be a memorable symbol and its colors and shapes represent the nation well. It deserves at least to be on the short lost and given its fair chance".
But Mr Key has shot down the petition, saying there was "a well set out process" and the cabinet had already accepted the four nominations.
"To accept any other flag... we would have to change the law, and we're not going back to parliament to change the law," he told a morning talkshow.
New Zealanders will have the chance to choose their favourite design in a referendum later this year. Then in 2016, another referendum will be held to decide whether to scrap the existing flag and replace it with the winner.
Mr Key has argued New Zealand needs a new flag as its current one, adopted in 1902, is too similar to Australia's, and the country needs one which better reflects its values.
But critics say the exercise is costly and unnecessary. It is expected to cost the New Zealand government more than 27m New Zealand dollars (£11m; $17m), according to news portal Stuff.
The European Commission says clearing land in order to plant biofuel crops can often cancel out the environmental benefits of biofuel. In some cases forests are chopped down.
The EU is putting a cap of 5% on the food-based biofuel allowed in the renewable energy used in transport.
The EU's total renewable energy target for transport fuel is 10% by 2020.
The Commission will change the 2009 Renewable Energy Directive and the 1998 Fuel Quality Directive.
New biofuel installations will have to meet a minimum 60% threshold in terms of their efficiency in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin says some environmentalists had supported the biofuel laws in the first instance, before the side-effects became understood.
The UN has appointed a special rapporteur on the right to food, Olivier De Schutter, who has sharply criticised the direct and indirect effects of biofuels on the poor.
Now the EU is trying to shift biofuel production from food crops to farm waste, algae and straw.
Clearing land to plant food for biofuel releases the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) through ploughing and can involve deforestation, which reduces the "carbon sinks" - the trees that absorb CO2.
A spokeswoman for the poverty action group Oxfam, Tracy Carty, welcomed the EU's new 5% cap but said the proposal would not go far enough.
"The cap is higher than the current levels of biofuels use and will do nothing to reduce high food prices," she said.
"The British government must up the pressure on other European member states to scrap its current targets and end all support for biofuels. With close to 900 million people going hungry every day, we cannot continue diverting valuable food into fuel."
Earlier, the EU Commissioner for Climate Action, Connie Hedegaard, said: "We must invest in biofuels that achieve real emission cuts and do not compete with food.
"We are of course not closing down first generation biofuels, but we are sending a clear signal that future increases in biofuels must come from advanced biofuels."
The European Renewable Ethanol Association (ePURE) rejected the suggestion that biofuel crops were putting too much pressure on food production.
"Global grain use for biofuels is minuscule and nowhere near enough to inflate prices significantly. Singling out biofuels for blame for rising food prices is simply reckless and only serves to damage public confidence in good biofuels", said ePURE's Secretary General Rob Vierhout.
"Europe has enough grain to produce both its food and fuel needs," he added.
Daniel Burgess, aged 37, of Chywoone avenue Newlyn, Penzance is accused of killing 48-year-old Michael Horner, Bodmin Magistrates' Court heard.
Mr Horner's body was found by police on 29 December at his home on Gwavas Road, after concerns were raised about his welfare.
The case has been committed to Truro Crown Court where Mr Burgess is due to appear on Friday.
A second man had been arrested over the incident but Devon and Cornwall Police said no further action would be taken against him.

Police were called to Movers Lane in Barking at 01:00 BST to reports of an injured teenager. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two males, aged 16 and 20, have been arrested on suspicion of murder after being found nearby with stab wounds.
Earlier a "disturbance" broke out at a party at the nearby Ripple Centre, police said.
The arrested teenager was taken to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged. He is currently in custody at an east London police station.
The 20-year-old man remains in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Owls forward Fernando Forestieri slipped at a crucial moment and blazed over from inside the six-yard box shortly after half-time.
Marco Matias saw his tame finish allow Prince-Desir Gouano to get back and scramble the ball off the line.
Gary Madine headed over for Bolton when Derik Osede nodded a Liam Feeney free-kick back across goal.
Wednesday made the brighter start but missed chances through Matias and Atdhe Nuhiu.
Matias again found himself clean through after a clever pass from Daniel Pudil, but goalkeeper Ben Amos smothered the ball as the Portuguese forward elected to try to round him rather than shoot.
A Feeney corner was headed over by Osede as the hosts mounted their first meaningful attack, while at the other end Kieran Lee's brilliant skill to round two defenders was not matched by a tame shot, which Amos comfortably saved.
Forestieri spurned a golden chance two minutes after the restart when he lofted the ball over the bar after Nuhiu's header found him unmarked.
Substitute Stephen Dobbie finally forced Owls keeper Joe Wildsmith into a save, albeit a routine one, with a curling 20-yard effort in the 74th minute.
But although Bolton pressed late on they never looked like breaching Wednesday's defence.
Bolton manager Neil Lennon: "We're just lacking a bit of quality in the final third at times - the final pass or getting our shots off, but we've known that for a while.
"We're four games unbeaten, it's a clean sheet and another point, so I can take a lot of positives from it as well. We're not playing poorly. We're having a go and the players are giving me everything at the moment.
"My concern is that we're not taking chances. We need to find that little recipe to put teams away when we're in the ascendency and we haven't got that at the minute."
Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal: "We drew but we missed a lot of chances - the first 10-15 minutes we could have scored two or three goals.
"Compared with the chances we had in the match, I'm not happy with the draw. I'm happy with the dynamic of the team - it's hard work to create chances, but we didn't score.
"The story of the game was we missed a lot of chances, but that's football."
The 500lb (227kg) device was discovered in The Avenue, Brondesbury Park, shortly before midday.

It has seen hints that HIV is getting milder as well as new vaginas and old wombs being transplanted for the first time.
Here's a round up of the year in medical science.
Darek Fidyka is the feel good story of the year.
He was paralysed after being stabbed repeatedly in the back in an attack in 2010, but he can now walk again after a pioneering therapy.
The world-first treatment involved taking cells from his nasal cavity, which constantly regenerate, and placing them into his spinal cord.
Scientists believe the transplanted olfactory ensheathing cells enabled nerve fibres above and below the injury to reconnect.
It is early days and his steps are still tentative, but when reserved scientists describe his progress as "more impressive than man walking on the moon" you know something significant just happened.
The Ebola outbreak started in December 2013, but nobody expected what followed.
Before this year, just 2,361 people had died from Ebola since the virus was first discovered in the 1970s and most outbreaks had been rapidly contained.
But in the current outbreak more than 19,000 cases and 7,000 deaths have been record.
This is not just the biggest Ebola outbreak in history, it is bigger than all the others combined.
In has seen an unprecedented response and a hunt for new treatments. Vaccine and drugs trials which would normally take place on a timescale of years and decades have been rushed through in weeks and months.
Yet, the outbreak is still not under control.
An unexpected story from the University of Oxford suggested HIV was evolving to become less deadly and less infectious.
They showed HIV was being forced to make damaging mutations to itself in order to survive the counter-offensive by our immune systems.
Scientists said the gradual "watering down" of HIV meant the virus was replicating more slowly and taking longer to cause Aids in Botswana, the country where the study took place.
Meanwhile, an outstanding feat of viral archaeology traced the origin of the Aids pandemic to the city of Kinshasa in the 1920s, in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It all happened in the era of black and white film and the tail-end of the European empires when a "perfect storm" of population growth, sex and railways allowed HIV to spread.
There was nothing short of a scandal in medical science this year.
In January, a stem cell discovery promised to transform medicine. By December, the lead researcher Dr Haruko Obokata resigned in shame.
Along the way, her supervisor Prof Yoshiki Sasai was found dead at his laboratory in an apparent suicide.
It was claimed that stem cells - those cells that can become any other and hold great promise in medicine - could be made cheaply and quickly by shocking normal cells in acid.
The development of STAP cells (stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency) was a front-page story on newspapers around the world and provoked reactions such as "my God that's a game changer" from scientists.
Yet it was simply too good to be true.
Researchers coming together on message boards quickly became suspicious that the results had been faked.
Dr Obokata was found guilty of misconduct and no other research group in the world has been able to reproduce her findings.
It was another medical first as 2014 said hello to the first baby born using a transplanted womb.
The 36-year-old mother was born without a uterus, but received the organ donation from a friend who had gone through the menopause.
The womb was transplanted for a year before doctors felt comfortable enough to attempt a pregnancy by implanting an embryo that had been produced through IVF.
A premature, but healthy, boy was born eight months later.
The achievement at the University of Gothenburg raises hopes for other women left without a functioning womb after cancer treatment or because of birth defects.
On a slightly different note, four women have had new vaginas grown for them in the laboratory.
A biodegradable tubular scaffold was designed to be the right size and shape for each woman.
A small biopsy from the poorly developed vulva in each woman was used to grow a large batch of cells in the laboratory.
Muscle cells were attached to the outside of the scaffold and vaginal-lining cells to the inside.
All women reported normal levels of "desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction" after the vaginas were implanted.
In two of the women, the vagina was connected to the uterus giving them a chance of becoming pregnant.
Fat is the big bad guy in our diets right? Maybe not.
Swapping butter for a sunflower spread may not lower chances of a heart attack after all, according to one study this year.
Meanwhile there has been a sustained fight against sugar.
The World Health Organization has toughened it's stance on sugar saying recommended sugar intake should be fewer than 10% of total calorie intake a day, but people should really be aiming for 5%.
The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition, in England, took a similar stance.
It would mean one 330ml can of fizzy pop would take a typical adult up to the proposed 5% daily allowance, without factoring in sugar from any other source.
But at least a Mediterranean diet keeps us genetically young, according to research, although if you want to cut your blood pressure it seems having both olive oil and leafy salad is key.
Scientists from Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Manchester and Surrey universities joined forces as part of the BBC's Day of the Body Clock to warn society had become "supremely arrogant" in ignoring the importance of sleep.
They said cancer, heart disease, type-2 diabetes, infections and obesity have all been linked to reduced sleep.
Yet people and governments were failing to take the problem seriously.
Earlier in the year studies showed night shifts throw the body "into chaos".
The damaging effect of light in the evening has also been one of the themes of the year.
A US study compared book and light-emitting e-readers to show that people using the latter take longer to nod off, have less deep sleep and are more tired the next morning.
And bedrooms light enough to see across were linked to an increased risk of weight-gain.
A whole, functioning, organ was grown from scratch inside an animal for the first time by scientists.
A group of cells were genetically reprogrammed to become thymus cells and were mixed with other support-role cells and placed inside a mouse.
Once inside, the bunch of cells developed into a functional thymus and produced a component of the immune system, called T-cells, which fight infection.
The researchers said: "This is a very exciting advance and it's also very tantalising in terms of the wider field of regenerative medicine."
In 2014, science has shown:

Huw Aled Jones, 44, of Rhydtalog, near Mold, Flintshire, was found to have dead and dying animals on his land.
He admitted causing unnecessary suffering to animals, failing to identify them, failing to report animal deaths and not disposing of carcasses.
He was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison, suspended for two years at Flintshire Magistrates Court.
The court heard Jones had always worked on the family farm but had been unable to cope after his father died.
His marriage broke down, the farm was no longer sustainable and he worked 12-hour days at a dairy in Shropshire, which led to his failure to care for the sheep and cows.
The court heard he had ignored advice from council officers, failed to get veterinary attention for the animals, and did not properly feed them, resulting in their long-term neglect.
Several dead, injured and dying animals were discovered on the farm following a tip-off, including calves and lambs.
Probation officer Pamela Roberts said Jones did try to care for the animals and had shown great remorse for his actions. | A farmer who failed to properly care for his livestock has been banned from owning animals for six years. | 39,119,155 | 244 | 22 | false |
British stars Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter were joined outside the building by hundreds of extras playing protesters in the forthcoming movie.
Scenes have also been shot in the central lobby and a committee room.
Permission for filming was granted after MPs agreed it was a good way to cover the cost of running Parliament.
With MPs away on their Easter break, ministerial cars were replaced by vintage vehicles and rioting women fighting for the vote.
The filming comes just over 100 years since a series of real demonstrations by members of the Suffragette movement in the Palace of Westminster.
The director of Suffragette, Sarah Gavron, said: "Our film is inspired by the true stories of the foot soldiers of the Suffragette movement, women who were willing to sacrifice everything in their fight for the right to vote.
"We are honoured to be allowed to recreate a crucial moment in that long journey towards equality by filming where the Suffragettes actually brought their protest over 100 years ago."
The film also features Meryl Streep as fearsome campaigner Emmeline Pankhurst.
But Oscar-winning Streep - who in 2011 attended Prime Minister's Questions in preparation for playing Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady - has already filmed her scenes and was not expected to be on set.
Sir Alan Haselhurst MP, chair of the House of Commons administration committee, said: "As a British film which clearly relates to Parliament's history and heritage, this is an ideal pilot for the House of Commons to identify the opportunities for location filming and income generation.
"We hope the film will engage the public with Parliament's history and heritage, and will offer a new way to bring our iconic buildings to a wider audience."
Adrian Wootton, chief executive of Film London and the British Film Commission, said: "Opening up such an iconic location as the House of Commons for filming is fantastic news.
"This unique location promises to attract more production to the capital, and by working with the industry and our partners, we will help ensure it can get the most out of filming, while protecting the integrity of this very special building.
"And I look forward to seeing it on screen in the star-studded Suffragette, which will be a fantastic showcase of British talent, behind and in front of the camera, and this very special new location."
Suffragette is a fictional story, set against the background of the struggle for women's rights.
Emmeline Pankhurst was imprisoned for the first time in February 1908 when she attempted to enter the House of Commons.
Later that year, she was jailed again after being found guilty of inciting a rush on the House of Commons.
James Harris Jackson, 28, earlier admitted stabbing Timothy Caughman, 66, with a sword in Manhattan on 20 March.
He is already charged with the murder as a hate crime.
He is said to have admitted he had harboured feelings of hatred towards black men for years and last week's attack was a "practice run".
On Monday, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a statement that Mr Jackson "prowled the streets of New York for three days in search of a black person to assassinate in order to launch a campaign of terrorism against our Manhattan community and the values we celebrate".
"Last week, with total presence of mind, he acted on his plan, randomly selecting a beloved New Yorker solely on the basis of his skin colour, and stabbing him repeatedly and publicly on a Midtown street corner."
Mr Jackson earlier told police he had travelled by bus to New York City from his home city of Baltimore.
When he came across Mr Caughman he allegedly stabbed him in the chest and back with a sword.
Mr Caughman was pronounced dead in hospital.
The suspect later walked into a Times Square police station and was arrested.
James Harris Jackson served in the US Army from March 2009 to August 2012 and worked as a military intelligence analyst, the army said. He was deployed in Afghanistan from 2010-11.
Mr Caughman's friends have described him as a kind man and a good neighbour.
Portia Clark told AP news agency: "Tim Caughman did not deserve to die like that... Nobody does. I mean, come on, we're black, white, yellow, brown - that's ridiculous. We're trying to get along."

The company, which was owned by Rutland Partners, was sold to food tycoon Ranjit Boparan in September.
About 900 suppliers will be left out of pocket by £23m, BBC Radio 4's Farming Today was told.
Mr Boparan said he offered to buy the firm with its debt and pension liabilities but this was rejected.
The turkey firm was bought by investment company Rutland Partners in 2013.
The take-over by the Boparan Private Office, Mr Boparan's private investment arm, was done under a deal struck prior to administration - to protect the value of the company.
As the purchase deal was settled before Bernard Matthews went into administration, a meeting of creditors was not required.
The deal to save the firm and 2,000 jobs compensates Rutland Partners, but it means the new owner is not liable for its debts or pensions.
A lower level of staff pensions will be paid through a government protection scheme, but there is not the same protection for suppliers which are owed money.
Creditors have now received a letter from the administrator to say they will not get paid or receive compensation.
Deloitte said it was a "typical insolvency where there was not enough money to pay everyone back".
Clarke Willis of Anglia Farmers, which is owed about £10,000, said it provided satellite broadband monitoring of turkey sheds and this had been turned off.
He said non-payment of larger amounts was putting the viability of many other businesses - including those supplying agricultural goods, animal stock, transport and energy - at risk.
"There is no funding mechanism for all of those creditors into the business," he said.
"The letter is fairly stark, and basically says there will be no dividend pay-out whatsoever and therefore in those circumstances they do not have to call a meeting of creditors."
In a statement, Rutland Partners said it had "invested significant funds into the Bernard Matthews business over the last three years".
Andrew Donaldson, 34, denies assault by penetration on board the Plymouth-based frigate HMS Northumberland in August 2013.
The court martial heard the victim had been drinking heavily while the ship was docked at Bournemouth.
The trial at Portsmouth Naval Base continues.
Logistician Donaldson also denies a charge of disgraceful conduct of an indecent kind.
The victim had drunk six cans of cider in an hour and Nadim Bashir, prosecuting, said he had fallen asleep at an event in the petty officer's mess.
Colleagues took photographs sticking their tongues out next to the unconscious victim's bare bottom.
Mr Bashir said: "Matters were to escalate rapidly. Donaldson took hold of a beer bottle and made a statement for those viewing the video of his intentions."
The victim, who said in a statement he was very drunk and had been sick "several times", recoiled and woke up during the assault, the hearing was told.
Senior officers judging the case were shown video footage.
The trial was told that Donaldson does not deny carrying out the action, although he cannot remember it and denies that it was of a sexual nature.
Leading Seaman Christopher Cook, 31, denies a separate charge disgraceful conduct of an indecent kind.
Leading Logistician Roger Spratt, 28, who recorded footage on Logistician Donaldson's mobile phone, has already been dealt with by the court.
The scarecrow, which was part of an annual festive trail, was taken from Scargill Primary School, West Hallam, Derbyshire at the weekend.
The head teacher appealed for the coat to be returned as it was needed for a school production on Wednesday.
The school tweeted the coat had been "unceremoniously chucked over [the] fence", but without the scarecrow.
"We would like to thank everyone who offered alternative Joseph coats," the tweet read.
"Who would have thought there were so many multi coloured coats!"

Plymouth Fisheries said it was 131lb (59kg), just under the UK line-caught record of 133lb 4oz (60kg).
Manager Pete Bromley, manager of Plymouth fisheries, said: "It just happens to be a very unlucky big fish."
The eel was brought in to the fish market on Wednesday where it was caught on camera appearing to be about 20ft (6m) long and dwarfing the fishermen behind it.
But Mr Bromley said the photos were deceptive and the fish was actually about 7ft (2.1m) long.
"It was certainly very large and very unusual for our market," he said.
"Conger normally live in deep water wrecks, so it is unusual to catch them on open ground.
"There's not a great deal of commercial value in them. Due to the economic downturn prices of conger have dropped.
"But it is a very impressive fish and would have made any anglers' day."
Fisherman Scott Govier was unable for comment.

Kevin McClory, who came up with the story for Thunderball with Ian Fleming, had been locked in a battle over Bond rights since 1959.
McClory, and later his estate, asserted he had created the Blofeld character.
Now film studio MGM and Bond film company Danjaq have acquired all the rights from McClory's estate.
A joint statement from the three parties involved said the deal brought "to an amicable conclusion the legal and business disputes that have arisen periodically over 50 years".
The agreement means that Bond producers are clear to use the Blofeld character again if they wish.
Blofeld's face was often concealed in the films as the camera focused on him stroking his white cat.
The character has appeared in six official Bond films - From Russia with Love (1963), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and For Your Eyes Only (1981), as well as McClory's Never Say Never Again (1983).
He has been played by Donald Pleasence, Telly Savalas, Charles Gray and Max von Sydow.
The dispute began when McClory worked on the script for Thunderball, which first introduced the character of Blofeld.
It was then used by Fleming to form the basis for his novel of the same name.
But McClory and another scriptwriter, Jack Whittingham, were unaware the novel was being published and were not credited.
This led them to sue Fleming successfully in 1963.
McClory, who died in 2006, produced the movie of Thunderball in 1965.
But the dispute raised its head again in the 1970s, when McClory wanted to make another Bond film - he won the right to do so in court and the result was his 1983 movie Never Say Never Again.
He brought back Sean Connery as agent 007 after a 12-year hiatus, and the film was again based on the Thunderball novel.
However the movie has never been welcomed into the official Bond canon.
McClory lost another legal case in 2001 over the rights to the James Bond film character.
A federal appeals court in San Francisco dismissed his case, saying McClory had waited too long to make a claim.
The next Bond film, starring Daniel Craig and directed by Sam Mendes, is due for release in 2015.
The Lamborghini Aventador, Mercedes G63 6x6 and Bentley Flying Spur, were parked with a gold Rolls Royce in Cadogan Place near the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel.
There are two separate £80 penalty charge notices on the Lamborghini, and one each on the Mercedes and Bentley.
The cars appear to be in pay-and-display bays and risk being towed away.
The cars are believed to be Saudi Arabian-owned.
The fines will be reduced to £40 each if paid within 14 days. A nearby NCP car park charges £50 for 24 hours.
Timothy Coleridge, councillor for the ward in Kensington and Chelsea said he would raise the issue with the borough's parking department.
"It's very rare that anyone would leave their car in a pay-and-display bay and leave it for more than a day as they risk the chance of it being towed away.
"No one has done this before. Normally they rent a garage rather than park them in the street.
"We would not differentiate between somebody with a gold Rolls or a beaten-up Renault 5."
Every summer exclusive cars belonging to the super rich descend on London's streets and many attract parking fines.
Last year in November, Kensington and Chelsea council put a ban on motorists from revving engines, sudden acceleration and racing on the streets of Knightsbridge following complaints from residents.
Many people gathered to take a look at the supercars, among them was Charlotte Eaton, from London.
She said: "They are incredible, they're amazing - I mean they're disgusting, you wouldn't want one.
"It's ridiculous, but I suppose when you've got that sort of money, you don't give a damn."
The blast took place on a busy road and hit a passenger bus, media reports say.
The bomber detonated the explosives after passing a police vehicle.
Such attacks have soared in Pakistan ahead of elections on 11 May, with dozens killed in attacks targeting politicians and political parties.
On Sunday, bomb attacks by the Taliban on the campaign offices of election candidates left at least eight people dead and 23 injured.
The Taliban have vowed to continue a campaign of attacks against political parties they see as secular.
Reports say that a bomb has also exploded near the home of an ANP candidate in the city of Mardan, damaging the wall of his compound.
No group has said it carried out this latest attack in Peshawar.
Television footage showed the damaged bus and motorcycle wreckage. The wounded were taken to hospitals in the city.
Correspondents say violence has marred the campaign for Pakistan's landmark election, in which one civilian government is due to be succeeded by another for the first time in the country's history.
Sexist comments and insults have become too common for people trying to serve their community, Unison Wales said.
Labour's Aberconwy parliamentary candidate Emily Owen said she had been trolled by men asking her bra size and telling her to strip for votes.
Parliament has set up a team to support those being targeted.
Political parties say they also try to support candidates who report problems - but some politicians say more needs to be done.
Ms Owen said she was shocked at the trolling on Facebook and Twitter she had been subjected to since standing for election to become an MP.
It comes six months after Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood revealed some abuse directed at her on Twitter was "vile" - with one man jailed for tweeting her and making reference to rape and another given a community sentence for saying someone should shoot her.
Unison Wales - the public services union with predominantly female members - said Ms Owen and Ms Wood were not alone in receiving abuse online and it had become such a concern that it was now holding training for its members on how to deal with it.
"It's becoming a massive issue - it's sexism, bullying, people being judged on their appearance... and people shouldn't have to put up with it just because they are in a prominent position," said Jenny Griffin, who runs Unison's cyber bullying course.
"It's definitely putting women off standing for these roles, particularly women with kids, as they don't want to put their family through it as the people around you often get targeted too."
Chris Bryant, the former Labour MP and now parliamentary candidate for Rhondda, said he also believed gay men and people from ethnic minorities got the brunt of abuse.
"It's undoubtedly got worse in the last two to three years," he said.
"I get it daily - lots of swear words, homophobic comments and downright lies. People write anonymously on social media things they wouldn't dream of writing in a letter or saying to your face.
"I'm absolutely certain it puts a lot of women off, particularly those with children. I know lots of people who have thought about going into politics and have decided they simply don't want to put themselves up for it - you get this endless barrage."
Liz Saville Roberts, Plaid Cymru's parliamentary candidate for Dwyfor Meirionnydd, introduced a bill to tackle online abuse and cyber crime while working as an MP.
"I have been speaking to female politicians across all party lines and this is an issue, although I'd say it seems to affect younger women more," she said.
"I believe social media platforms should be doing more to tackle this. They have a responsibility and I feel they are lacking in answerability."
But Prof Matthew Williams, from Cardiff University's criminology department said he believed the benefits of social media outweighed the negatives.
"I don't necessarily think problems with social media would put younger people off a career in politics and in many ways it's an advantage for spreading their message," he said.
"But you need to be savvy to avoid the dangers and victimisation. If anybody is receiving a torrent of abuse, the first thing they should do is call the police.
"If police don't take action, softer measures can also be used, like blocking people. You can also ask Twitter and Facebook to remove comments."
Prof Williams said his team had been studying trigger points for abuse on social media and political events often prompted people to express extreme views.
"We see spikes, if you look at the data. Events like the general election will see a huge spike in online hate," he added.
"We also saw it after the EU referendum, when emotions run high and extreme views are galvanised in certain groups in society."
It is an issue that the political parties say they are taking seriously.
A Conservative spokesman said: "When online abuse is bought to our attention, we support candidates and MPs in dealing with it.
"In serious instances of online abuse we would always recommend reporting it to the police."
The Liberal Democrats and UKIP have also been asked to comment.
Dr Gwynne Jones will take up the post following the retirement of current boss Richard Parry Jones in May.
Dr Jones, a father-of-three, has been the authority's director of lifelong learning for the past three years.
Council leader Ieuan Williams said Mr Jones has already shown "vision and commitment" to modernise education services at Anglesey.
"I now expect to see him demonstrate these abilities in his new role as our chief executive," he said.
Vereniki Goneva's late try won it for Newcastle, who move into seventh place.
Joel Hodgson crossed early for Falcons and traded penalties with Stephen Myler before Brookes was sent off for clearing a ruck with his shoulder.
Christian Day's try put Saints ahead, but a Will Witty score kept Falcons in it before Goneva struck.
Newcastle went into the game with just one away win all season, but started superbly as Hodgson passed out to Goneva on the right wing and the big Fijian returned it to the former Saints fly-half, who went over.
Goneva thought he had set up a second try for Marcus Watson soon after, but Juan Pablo Socino was adjudged to have impeded Luther Burrell in the build-up.
With the score 8-3, the game looked to have turned on its head when Brookes was red-carded in the 38th minute as he crashed into the head of David Wilson with his shoulder.
But to Northampton's credit they were the better team after the break as Day was forced over from a line-out, but Witty's close-range effort saw Newcastle take a two-point lead.
Myler's third penalty put Saints one point up with 10 minutes left, but Goneva intercepted Tom Kessell's pass deep in his own half and ran the length of the field before side-stepping Ben Foden to score his first try for Newcastle to win the game.
Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder:
"I've looked at it a few times and what happened was that someone put their head into the ruck, they came in and caused that first offence, Kieran Brookes took exception to that and their players took exception to Kieran Brookes.
"What you can't do is retaliate. You can't strike anybody near the head and the referee had no option.
"If you're behind in the game or ahead in the game, you don't want anyone getting sent off - it puts your team under a lot of pressure.
"But I think the 14 men responded really, really well in that second half and we should have come away with the win."
Newcastle director of rugby Dean Richards:
"What a great win. And to be honest there were a couple of tries that went begging as well. It was an unbelievable start, and we had a try scratched off when it shouldn't have been.
"I haven't looked at the sending off too closely, but if he has made contact with the head it is disappointing from Kieran's point of view.
"In the second half we turned over a few balls, but we fought our way back and got the win that we wanted.
"Niki is a quality player, to step aside Foden at the end for the try was sheer class."

The murdered men were watching the World Cup match between Ireland and Italy in 1994 when loyalist gunmen burst into the Heights Bar in Loughinisland and opened fire. Five others were wounded.
The report said there was no evidence police had prior knowledge of the Ulster Volunteer Force attack in Loughinisland, County Down, in 1994.
It was also highly critical of the initial investigation, listing "catastrophic failings" by the police.
Emma Rogan, daughter of Adrian Rogan
"Today is one of mixed emotions. I'm thinking of my daddy and all those others who died.
"This report has vindicated our long held suspicions.
"Our journey has been a very difficult one and we have travelled all around the world, we have been vilified at home but we have exposed collusion."
Moira Casement, niece of Barney Green
"Today we have got the truth.
"This ombudsman's office factual report gives no hesitation in unambiguously determining that collusion was a significant feature in the Loughinisland murders, not least, that the importation of south African weapons was overseen and directed by British intelligence, RUC, Special Branch and British Army.
"This report makes clear that our loved ones were murdered as a direct result of these actions."
Aidan O'Toole - injured in the shooting
"We were a small rural community that was relatively untouched by the conflict. That this atrocity was visited upon us, just before the ceasefires and peace process, has added to the hurt and suffering, the 'what ifs'.
"This makes the call for truth and justice all the more important.
"We all deserve and demand justice from the British government who are ultimately responsible."
Paddy McCreanor, nephew of Dan McCreanor
"This is a good day for the Loughinisland justice group, a very good day.
"It's just so hard to take in all the information that we've just received in the report
"Everything as regards the one famous word, collusion; collusion is no illusion and collusion happened. The truth has come out and that is all we ever wanted from day one.
"I don't know how we've coped with the situation. It's been a living nightmare."
Northern Ireland's Chief Constable George Hamilton
"This report makes uncomfortable reading, particularly in relation to the alleged actions of police officers at the time.
"The ombudsman has stated that collusion was a feature of these murders in that there were both wilful and passive acts carried out by police officers.
"This is totally unacceptable and those responsible should be held accountable.
"We apologised to the families at that time and I offer my sincere apologies to them once again today, for both the investigative failings and that collusion was a significant feature of the Loughinisland murders."
Clara Reilly from Relatives for Justice
"Thefamilies of those killed in Loughinisland should not have had to go to court for information. We've had report after report after report which proves collusion. It's time for accountability."
UK government spokesperson
"The horrific terrorist attack at Loughinisland in 1994 was an appalling outrage for which there could never be any justification. It was widely condemned at the time and we repeat that condemnation today.
"The UK Government has noted the contents of the Police Ombudsman's report and the PSNI's response.
"The report makes clear that those responsible for the carnage at Loughinisland were the terrorists who planned and carried it out.
It also reaches some very grave conclusions about the conduct of the police. The Government takes allegations of wrongdoing by the police very seriously.
Where there is evidence it should be pursued and those responsible held accountable. Everyone is subject to the rule of law."
Charlie Flanagan, Irish minister for foreign affairs
"The Ombudsman's report fundamentally vindicates the concerns the families have raised over many years and their continuing search for justice.
"The Ombudsman's findings are deeply disturbing - in particular his determination that "collusion is a significant feature of the Loughinisland murders".
"The findings must now be carefully examined with a view to the question of further investigations and possible prosecutions."
Demonstrations took place in Warsaw and around 20 other Polish cities.
The Law and Justice party won elections in October, and has since tried to appoint judges of its choice to the Constitutional Court.
Critics are concerned the government is trying to neuter the court.
Poland returns to Conservative roots
The protests were organised by a group called the Committee for the Defence of Democracy.
Opponents of the government are unhappy at its move to replace five out of the 15 judges on the country's highest judicial body - which has the power to block legislation.
MPs have accused Law and Justice of carrying out a "creeping coup d'etat".
The party now controls both houses of parliament and the presidency.
Gobinda Chinweefat, 26, was arrested near the scene of a burglary in Didsbury, Manchester, on Friday night.
A short time later, he complained of chest pains and police called an ambulance to take him to hospital.
While driving along Kingsway, Mr Chinweefat opened the ambulance doors and jumped out. Greater Manchester Police said he could be seriously hurt.
Det Insp Kevin Marriott said the ambulance had been travelling at between 20 and 30mph (40 to 48km/h) when Mr Chinweefat jumped out.
He landed on his back but immediately got up and ran away through a tunnel linking Kingsway to Brailsford Road.
"We are making every effort to find him," said Det Insp Marriott
"Mr Chinweefat was also complaining of chest pains and we are concerned that he may need medical attention for this or any injuries sustained in his escape.
"He is not to be approached by members of the public but if anyone sees him or knows of his whereabouts, please contact GMP."
The study was compiled by the Sports People's Think Tank with help from Loughborough University and anti-racism group the Fare Network.
It found only one in 25 managers, assistant managers or senior coaches was from the BAME community, and that there had been minimal progress over the past two years.
"It remains disappointing to note that since the first report in 2014 the figures have changed very little," said the report.
Although at least a quarter of all professional footballers in England are black, the report found that only 17 of the 92 top clubs had a BAME coach in a senior role.
Since the report was compiled, one of the three BAME managers in the top four divisions, QPR's Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, has been sacked, leaving only Chris Hughton at Brighton and Keith Curle at Carlisle.
The report also:
"The data continues to show that if you are from a BAME background and aspire to be a manager or coach, you are at a disadvantage," added the authors.
"Some people might still question why this issue is relevant when ethnic minorities, and the black community in particular, are so successful as players it is surely a matter of time and progression.
"Our findings simply do not back this up. If effective action is not taken we face the same situation in the decades to come."
Mr May said his Save Me Trust would challenge the lawfulness of the culls which are likely to re-start in autumn.
The call for a judicial review is based on the effectiveness of culling and whether it breaks legal guidelines.
The legal action is against Natural England, which declined to comment.
Natural England, which issues the cull licences, would not comment about the letter or the licensing process.
Last year 274 badgers were culled in Gloucestershire, below the minimum 615 target. The cull in 2013 in Gloucestershire also failed to reach the minimum level.
In Somerset, 341 badgers were culled against a minimum target of 316 in 2014.
Ministers and farmers insist culling is necessary to tackle the spread of bovine TB, which results in thousands of cattle being slaughtered every year.
A Save Me Trust spokesman said its lawyers had written to the chief executive and chief legal advisor of Natural England of its intentions.
"If any licences to cull badgers are either activated in Gloucestershire and Somerset or any new licences granted for this purpose anywhere, then the lawfulness of the decisions to do so will be challenged by a judicial review in the High Court," he said.
He added that the culling was unlawful as it "does not rationally serve the statutory purpose which permits the killing of badgers only to achieve the aim of preventing the spread of disease".
He added that there was a "fundamental failure" in the consultation process and a "flawed approach in calculating badger numbers".
In both of the pilot areas, a significant proportion were killed by the more expensive cage trapping and shooting method, rather than controlled shooting of free-running badgers.
The cull zone may be extended to Dorset this year but no confirmation has yet been made by Defra.
The first attacks were reported in March when two men were shot while walking outside; both survived.
The last incident was reported on 12 June when three women were shot and killed outside a home in west Phoenix.
All of the shootings occurred at night, and the victims appear to have been targeted at random.
A witness to one of the shootings helped detectives develop a sketch of the suspect.
Police described the suspect as a white or Hispanic man between 20 and 30 years old. He may have an accomplice, police said.
"Someone out there knows who did this," Phoenix Police Chief Joseph Yahner said. "We need our community to help us solve these cases."
The teenager was taken into custody following a police raid at his home in Croxteth, Liverpool, at 07:30 BST.
Detectives are investigating allegations that someone illegally accessed an Instagram account before attempting to blackmail its owner.
An online shopping account was also allegedly accessed in order to buy and steal goods.
Computer equipment and other electronic devices were seized at the house, and the boy was taken into custody for questioning.
Det Ch Supt Chris Green, head of Titan, the North West's organised crime unit, said: "Cyber-crime is increasingly common with criminals turning to the internet to commit the same kinds of offences as traditionally would be committed in the real world such as theft, blackmail and fraud.
"As we now all spend more and more of our daily lives online, we need to take the same precautions and care about our personal details as we would on the street."
Dr Adam Osborne, who was married at the time, told her exposing the two-year affair would "destroy" his family, a disciplinary panel was told.
He made threats towards the woman, asking her to retract her complaint to the General Medical Council (GMC).
Dr Osborne, brother of Chancellor George Osborne, was not at the hearing.
He treated the woman, referred to as Patient A, for depression, anxiety and chronic fatigue at a private practice in London, between 2011 and 2014.
She also had problems with substance abuse and self-harm.
Dr Osborne ended the relationship in February last year during an email exchange, the tribunal heard.
Two days later, Patient A, who is no longer living in the UK, was admitted to hospital after taking an overdose - hours after sending an email about the affair to psychiatrist Dr Neil Boast, who had temporarily been Dr Osborne's supervisor.
Following complaints to the GMC by Dr Boast and Patient A, Dr Osborne sent a "number of inappropriate emails" to his former lover between 14 February and 24 February, requesting that she withdraw the complaint.
One email said: "Please don't do this to me, it will destroy me and my family in public."
Representing the GMC, Bernadette Baxter said: "Patient A said on a number of occasions she wanted him to stop contacting her."
The emails "became more imploring" and Dr Osborne was "highly manipulative" in preying on the woman's vulnerabilities.
"He sees himself very much as a victim," she said.
"Then there are emails where the mood very much changed and spills into the territory where he makes threats towards Patient A."
Ms Baxter also outlined how Dr Osborne's emails suggested there would be consequences for her family and argued that Patient A had in fact seduced him.
The tribunal, which will judge whether the psychiatrist's fitness to practise is impaired by reason of misconduct, was told that there had also been contact between Patient A and Dr Osborne's wife.
Julian Woodbridge, who is representing the psychiatrist, said his client had been on sick leave.
Reading a letter to the tribunal, he said Dr Osborne apologised for being in a relationship with Patient A and sending "inappropriate emails in a moment of panic".
In 2010, the psychiatrist was suspended from practising medicine for six months after writing fraudulent prescriptions for a girlfriend, a family member and an escort, while he was a trainee at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester.
As a result, the GMC tribunal said the misconduct, which related to incidents between 2006 and 2008, impaired his fitness to practise.
It found he had "behaved dishonestly" after attempting to obtain anti-psychotic medication for a cocaine addict he had been seeing while his partner was away.
The current tribunal will resume on Wednesday.
The centre-half - whose last Bolton brace was scored in the Premier League - struck twice in four first-half minutes to seemingly put Phil Parkinson's side in full control.
Just as Bolton thought the game was won, Junior Brown set up a frantic finish by heading past Ben Alnwick in the 84th minute.
With 60 seconds of normal time left, referee David Webb denied Shrewsbury a chance to equalise by over-ruling his linesman, who had given a penalty against Andy Taylor for handling Louis Dodds' cross.
Bolton's superiority at set-pieces was evident early on as Tom Thorpe had a header clawed off the line by Jayson Leutwiler.
Wheater then opened the scoring, heading Jay Spearing's corner off the post before mopping up the rebound from close range.
Four minutes later he grabbed his second, finding himself in the right place once again after Gary Madine's shot was blocked.
Shrewsbury showed some attacking intent after half-time and Jack Grimmer drove one shot inches wide of the post.
Zach Clough was denied by a fine save from Leutwiler but as Wanderers went into cruise control, Brown's header meant they were riding their luck in the later stages to cling on to three points.

Dominic Smith (Shrewsbury Town) wins a free kick in the attacking half.
Murray beat Gilles Simon on Sunday - following wins over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and in the doubles with brother Jamie - to secure the tie 3-1 for Britain.
"He is an unbelievable fighter," said Smith.

"He has a never-say-die attitude. He is so mentally strong."
Murray was a set and a break down against Simon with the effects of the previous two days - a week after a run to the semi-finals of Wimbledon - apparently catching up with him.
But the Scot, 28, revived himself to snatch a second-set tie-break and accelerate away to a 4-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 6-0 win over the world number 11.
"It's incredible how he finds a way to dig as deep as he can. It's phenomenal what he finds within himself," Smith added.
"He was a set and a break down, and in the tie break 4-1 down, and he fights, fights and fights.
"He digs into something that he's gone through in his dark places when training.
"He finds a way to do it because his legs and his heart have been conditioned to do it, and he does it better than anyone. I have nothing but immense respect for him."
Great Britain's victory sets up a semi-final, their first since 1981, against Australia.
It comes five years after the team beat Turkey in Smith's first match in charge to avoid dropping into the bottom-tier Group Three Europe of the Davis Cup alongside Andorra, San Marino and Malta.
The only team to match the speed of Britain's recent rise in the Davis Cup's present structure was Croatia, who won the tournament in 2005 after playing in Europe Group Two in 2000.
"When you look at history you see how long it's been since we've been there - that gives you an idea of how difficult it is to do," said Murray.
"We went through a period when we had Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski, who were top-10 players, and never won a World Group match. That shows you how difficult it is to do."

Until today, his Bronx grocery store had never downed its shutters. So before he could close up, he had to go and buy some locks.
Mr Alshabbi is one of thousands of Yemeni grocers holding a shutdown in protest against President Donald Trump's far-reaching US entry ban.
The closures started at noon (17:00 GMT) and are set to last eight hours.
Yemen is one of the seven Muslim-majority countries affected by Mr Trump's immigration crackdown, the others being Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Syria.
Organisers said about 6,000 of New York's bodegas and grocery stores are owned by Yemenis. At least 1,000 were expected to join the shutdown.
A Facebook event page set up for the strike explained: "This shutdown...will be a public show of the vital role these grocers and their families play in New York's economic and social fabric.
"During this period, grocery store owners will spend time with their families and loved ones to support each other."
"We want to send the message that we're here," said Sulaiman Alaodyi, a 24-year-old cashier at the Best and Tasty deli in the Bronx.
The bodega where he works is normally open round the clock. This was the first time it had closed in nine months of trading.
"We're going to go out and support all our brothers and sisters who are detained in airports and in other countries that can't get back," Mr Alaodyi said.
"This is just not fair."
Hundreds of Yemeni Americans braved the winter chill to rally outside Brooklyn's city hall as the shutdown continued.
Shoulder to shoulder, they crammed onto the building's steps waving a sea of American flags, carrying signs with slogans like, "United immigrants of America" and "Hate Will Never Make US Great".
"We stand here for justice, for dignity," said Yousef al-Baadani, 31, who works in a bodega in Queens.
Some of the bodega owners are American citizens, like Mr Alshabbi. Some have relatives applying for US residency, whose visa applications are now on hold.
For most, visits to family have just become impossible as they face being refused re-entry to the US if they travel to Yemen.
"This is our country. We have nowhere else to go," Mr Alshabbi told Buzzfeed.
He said the shutdown was a show of support for those now trapped in Yemen.
"This is the only thing we can do for them."
The working group - led by Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham supporters' trusts - said the kick-off time would cause "travel problems".
In a statement, the Premier League said it is required to show more matches in the 2019-20 season and is in talks with clubs about how that could work.
It said Sunday morning games are "not on the agenda", contrary to reports.
The Premier League is required, by broadcasting watchdog Ofcom, to show 190 games in the UK during the 2019-20 season - an increase from the 168 currently televised. It is expected to make a decision about the proposed kick-off times later this year.
The working group - set up under the auspices of the Football Supporters' Federation - have been meeting broadcasters and the Premier League in an attempt to secure a better deal for away fans.
The group also voiced its disapproval over an increase in Premier League fixtures between 25 November 2017 and 1 January 2018, when each club will play 10 matches - three more than two years ago.
It said Newcastle United supporters travelling to all five away games in that period will face three trips to London "and travel a total of 2,484 miles".
The 2017-18 season will finish on 13 May, a week earlier than the 2016-17 campaign ended, to allow players extra preparation time for next summer's World Cup in Russia.
Asked by BBC Sport about concerns over the busier winter schedule, the Premier League pointed to an article on its website explaining how fixtures are compiled.
It reads: "You can't satisfy everyone. It's a compromise across all clubs; you can't do anything to favour any one club.
"There are 2,036 matches, across the Premier League and Football League over a nine-month period, and the ideal solution is to ensure that those matches can all be played when scheduled."
Scala is angry the new Fifa council will have the ability to appoint and sack those in charge of its committees, including auditing, ethics and finance.
The council replaced the Fifa executive committee in the aftermath of a corruption scandal at the organisation.
Committees had been "deprived of their independence", said Scala.
Fifa said the Swiss "has made unfounded claims which are baseless".
Scala says he is "consternated" by a decision that makes it possible for the council to "impede" investigations by either dismissing committee members or "through the threat of a dismissal".
This, he added, "undermines a central pillar of the good governance of Fifa and destroys a substantial achievement of the reforms".
"[This is] a wake-up call to those persons who genuinely advocated for implementing reforms," he said.
Fifa, which accepted Scala's resignation and installed his deputy Sindi Mabaso Koyana as acting chairman, insists the Swiss has "misinterpreted the purpose of the decision taken" by its congress.
It added in a statement: "The decision was made to permit the council to appoint members on an interim basis.
"In addition, the measure allows for the swift removal of members who have breached their obligations.
"The council fully respects the independence of the audit and compliance and the ethics committees, and any suggestions to the contrary are without merit."
Scala has played a key role in pushing through reforms after the scandals that prompted the departures of former Fifa president Sepp Blatter and Uefa counterpart Michel Platini.
Blatter, who had led Fifa since 1998, stood down last year and was later suspended from football for six years for breaching ethics guidelines.
Platini announced earlier this week he would be stepping down after failing to have a six-year ban from football overturned by a Court of Arbitration for Sport panel.
The first Fifa congress led by new president Gianni Infantino, who succeeded Blatter in February, took place in Mexico City on Thursday and Friday.
During the congress, Fifa elected its first female secretary general with the appointment of Senegal's Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura.
She succeeds Jerome Valcke, who in February was banned from football-related activity for 12 years.
BBC sports editor Dan Roan
"This is the last thing Gianni Infantino needed less than three months into his presidency.
"Domenico Scala has established himself as the architect of Fifa's crucial reform programme and his decision to quit is a severe blow to the new leadership's attempts to show the organisation has learned from the corruption crisis that led to Infantino's election, and is finally serious about improving its governance.
"Scala is furious a surprise vote on Friday at the Fifa congress in Mexico City means he and other key corruption watchdogs who chair independent committees are now able to be sacked by the new-look Fifa council.
"This body was meant to be a less powerful version of the infamous executive committee it replaced, but the measure has actually given it even more clout than before.
"Some observers were already surprised at the way Infantino drove through the appointment of a new secretary general with little consultation. Now Scala's exit undermines the credibility of the entire Fifa reform process and raises the prospect that other resignations could follow.
"With US prosecutors continuing their investigations and watching on with interest, this could be very dangerous for the so-called 'new FIFA'."
It has seen numerous empires come and go from the Roman and Ottoman to the Austro-Hungarian.
After World War II the country fell under Communist rule, although the leadership pursued a foreign policy independent of that of the Soviet Union.
The legacy of Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu lingered long after the uprising which brought about his downfall on Christmas Day 1989.
A slower developer than other former communist countries of eastern Europe, Romania took a major step away from its past when it was one of seven countries to join Nato in late March 2004.
In April 2005 Bucharest signed an EU accession treaty, paving the way for Romania eventually to join the union in January 2007.

President: Klaus Iohannis
Provincial mayor Klaus Iohannis inflicted a shock defeat on Prime Minister Victor Ponta in a presidential election run-off in November 2014.
Mr Ponta was leading in the opinion polls and had beaten Mr Iohannis, the centre-right mayor of the city of Sibiu in Transylvania, in the first round of voting.
But Mr Iohannis, who campaigned on an anti-corruption platform, won a decisive victory on a record turn-out.
Prime Minister: Sorin Grindeanu
Former communications minister Sorin Grindeanu took office as prime minister in January 2017, paving the way for the return to power of a Social Democrat-led coalition government.
The centre-left Social Democrats were ousted from power in November 2015 after a deadly fire in a Bucharest nightclub sparked anti-government riots.
Concerns that safety was compromised because of corruption - a long-standing issue in Romania - fuelled public anger against the political elite. A non-party government of technocrats took over until the December 2016 elections.
But only weeks into Mr Grindeanu's term in office, more than 200,000 people came out onto the streets to protest against his government's plan to decriminalise certain forms of corruption.
Romania has one of the most dynamic media markets in southeastern Europe. A handful of conglomerates dominates the industry.
TV is the medium of choice, with commercial stations Pro TV and Antena 1 being the leading outlets. TVR is the public broadcaster.
There is a competitive pay TV sector, via cable and satellite. Romania is yet to complete the switch to digital terrestrial TV (DTT).
There are more than 100 private radios. Public Radio Romania operates national, regional and local stations.
Some key dates in Romania's history:
1859 - Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza is proclaimed prince of Moldavia and Wallachia.
1862 - The union of the two Danubian principalities is consolidated into a new state - Romania. Prince Cuza launches an ambitious policy of reform.
1877-1878 - Romania wins full independence from the Ottoman Empire by siding with Russia in the Russo-Turkish War. It also acquires a coastline on the Danube delta.
1914 - King Carol's death ends Romania's alliance with the Central Powers - Germany and Austria. His nephew Ferdinand takes Romania into World War I on the Allied side in 1916.
1918 - As part of the peace settlement at the end of the war, Romania acquires several territories with resident Romanian populations - virtually doubling in size and population.
1941-1944 - Romania fights on German side against Soviet Union; switches sides as Soviet forces close in.
1945 - Soviet-backed government installed.
1965 - Nicolae Ceausescu becomes Communist Party leader. He pursues foreign policy that often runs counter to Moscow's lead, while increasing repressive rule and personality cult at home.
1989 - Bloody national uprising, Ceausescu and his wife Elena try to flee but are caught and executed. National Salvation Front established, headed by former Ceasescu ally Ion Iliescu.
2004 - Romania admitted to Nato.
2007 - Romania and Bulgaria join the European Union, raising the EU membership to 27.
The tractor driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries after the accident on 10 April near Thetford.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch report reveals a signaller gave him permission to cross.
The report says drivers checked if it was safe by ringing a signaller.
More on this and other stories for Norfolk
"At the time of the accident they had to use the telephone to obtain permission from a signaller at Cambridge, before going over the crossing.
" In 2012, the crossing had been provided with red and green lights which informed users whether it was safe to cross, but this equipment had been intentionally decommissioned at the time of the accident.
"The tractor driver was given permission to cross the line, and had reached the mid-point of the crossing when his vehicle was struck by train 1K77, the 12:03 Norwich to Cambridge service, which was travelling at 84 mph (135 km/h).
"There were 135 passengers and two crew on the train, which did not derail and came to a stop 410 metres beyond the crossing."
At the time of the crash one eyewitness described being on the train when it hit the tractor with "a loud bang and a hell of a jolt".
Chris Last, from Brighton, said he thought the train would tip over but said fellow passengers' injuries were relatively minor "compared to the carnage there was".
Another passenger, Alex Youngs, heard "an almighty bang".
"What followed from that was showers of glass from the imploded windows... a few people screaming and then suitcases flying around," he said.
"Everyone was just sort of holding on because no-one knew what was coming next and it did feel as though we might derail."
It is not known when the final report will be ready for publication.
Former leader Ed Miliband said the referendum result was "in question" and urged Labour supporters not to use it as a protest vote against the Tories.
The party's top brass is warning Labour voters would be hit hardest by Brexit.
But backbenchers John Mann and Dennis Skinner have both rejected the official position and joined the Out campaign.
Mr Mann said Labour voters disagreed with the party leadership on the EU issue and a "people's revolution is underway".
Labour's deputy Tom Watson and other senior party figures presented figures from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, which he said showed £18bn of spending cuts and tax rises would be in the pipeline in the event of the UK leaving the EU.
The figure - dismissed as "fanciful" and "ridiculous" by Vote Leave - is based on Labour's claim that a post-Brexit Conservative government would "look to announce further austerity if they are to balance the books by the end of the Parliament" - due to their predicted "hit to the UK economy" of a Leave vote.
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
Mr Watson said Labour was "clear that Britain is better off in Europe" and said that a "Tory Brexit budget" would "hit working people hard" while Ms Cooper said the Leave campaign was "being led by the hard right of the Tory party" who had "never been friends to public services or low-paid workers".
There have been reports suggesting that many Labour voters do not realise the party is in favour of remaining in the EU.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said several senior figures had told her they were genuinely worried that many Labour voters would vote to leave the EU.
Mr Watson said the "Labour Party is about as united as it possibly can be in asking people to Remain" but added: "The one thing that does concern me is that the polls seem to say that about 40% of Labour supporters don't yet know our position ... There are two weeks to go, we need to get that message out, we need to redouble our efforts."

And Shadow Business Secretary Angela Eagle urged Labour voters not to use the 23 June referendum to give the Remain-supporting Conservative government a "bloody nose".
"I have fought the Tories all my life but this not a referendum on the government. It is about the future of our country and the Labour Party believes passionately that our future lies in Europe."
In further efforts to win over Labour voters to the Remain cause, former leader Ed Miliband claims that senior Leave campaigners want to abolish measures protecting workers' rights.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme ahead of his speech, Mr Miliband said "the referendum is in question and that's why the Labour message has got to be heard" - amid a focus on "blue-on-blue" Conservative in-fighting.
He added: "We haven't done enough yet, we've got to do more. But people know where Labour stands."
It follows comments by shadow home secretary Mr Burnham, who told BBC Two's Newsnight: "We have definitely been far too much Hampstead and not enough Hull in recent times and we need to change that. Here we are two weeks away from the very real prospect that Britain will vote for isolation."
But Mr Mann, MP for Bassetlaw, in Nottinghamshire, told the BBC on Friday: "It's not that Labour's not getting its message across, it's that Labour voters are fundamentally disagreeing."
And former Labour minister Frank Field, who is also campaigning for a Leave vote, warned that the party risked losing votes to UKIP with its Remain stance. He said the party should be encouraging supporters to vote "as they believe is in the best interests of our country" instead.
"In trying to scare Labour voters to back Remain, our leadership is on course to lose another one million votes to UKIP, just as we did in 2015," said Mr Field.
On the claims that £18bn of cuts would follow a "Brexit" vote, a Vote Leave spokesman said: "As support drains away from the Remain campaign, they are getting ever more desperate and hysterical with their fanciful Leave predictions."
The 24-year-old forward moved to Easter Road on loan from Dundee in January 2015, making the move permanent in the following summer.
Boyle scored nine goals this season as Hibs won the Championship and promotion to the Premiership.
"He can play in a variety of positions and always gives 100%, and his pace is a great asset to have," said manager Neil Lennon.
"His game isn't just about pace, he can also score goals, lay on assists and is able to help us transition from defence to attack."
The news comes the day after Hibs confirmed that defender Liam Fontaine is staying on for another season.
The 31-year-old former Bristol City centre-back has been at the club since 2014 and has played 98 games, including last year's Scottish Cup final triumph.
The Piasecki H-21 Workhorse design ensured the rotors at opposite ends of the aircraft did not clash.
It was developed from a prototype which was powered by a surplus Wright Cyclone engine from Flying Fortress bombers.
A spokesman for the Helicopter Museum in Weston-super-Mare said the H-21 is the first of its type in the UK.
The helicopter, serial number FR41, was built in Pennsylvania for the French Army Air Force and saw action in Algiers in 1956 during the civil war.
Once the restoration is complete it will go on display alongside another famous twin rotor helicopter, the Bristol Belvedere, which was built at Weston in 1960.
But when voters go to the polls on 13 June the backdrop will be the ongoing political crisis that has dogged the country since 2007 - if not longer.
Belgium is a country divided.
The southern region is home to mostly French speakers, who make up about 40% of the population. The other 60% are Dutch speakers who live in the Flemish north.
To add confusion, the capital Brussels is officially a bilingual (but largely francophone) enclave in Flemish territory.
The linguistic gulf runs deep. There are no national political parties - they too follow the language split, so there are both francophone and Flemish Liberal, Socialist, Christian Democrat and Green parties.
Likewise, there are no national broadcasters, no national newspapers or magazines.
The Belgian state is already highly decentralised. Education, health, and transport are all the responsibility of powerful regional parliaments.
To make the system work, politicians from both communities have to co-operate. But in recent years that co-operation has broken down.
Some politicians from the wealthier Flemish region are pushing for even more autonomy, for example by taking control of the social security system.
French speakers from the more impoverished south fear that would mean the country breaking up.
These elections were called when - for the third time in as many years - the government collapsed.
The trigger was a complex argument over voting rights for French speakers living in Flemish towns on the outskirts of Brussels.
They have been allowed to vote for French language parties in the Brussels region, even though they live in a Flemish area.
The Constitutional Court ruled that was illegal. But all attempts to find a compromise have failed.
One man who tried was the former Prime Minister Jean-Luc Dehaene. Now a member of the European parliament, he is fairly relaxed about the political crisis gripping his country.
"It's not the first time. Let's say every 10, 15 years we have an evaluation and a renegotiation of the institutional consensus. Mostly that goes with some political friction, but mostly we come out!"
Mr Dehaene is putting his trust in "the Belgian compromise" - the willingness of politicians from both communities eventually to give a bit and work together.
But in an industrial estate just to the south of Brussels people are not sure the Belgian compromise is still functioning.
At the Milcamps factory they produce waffles, that quintessentially Belgian product.
As we walk through the factory the air is filled with the sweet, mouth-watering scent of them, freshly baked.
Against the low din of clanking waffle irons, export manager Genevieve Roberti Lintermans says the political turmoil is not doing her country many favours.
"European countries where we sell a lot of product could be a little bit worried about the situation in Belgium - as we are," she says.
"In Belgium we are very sad about what is happening - I mean the population is very sad."
And that is an interesting distinction. It is hard to find many Belgians who are that hung up about the voting rights of French speakers in dormitory towns around the capital.
Many feel it is an obsession of the political classes and would just like them to get on with running the country.
And there is an added international dimension.
The elections come just as Belgium is meant to be playing a leading role in the European Union.
Next month it takes on the EU presidency for the rest of the year, running meetings and with the chance to exercise a strong influence on the agenda.
"The elections take place right before the start of the presidency in July, which means they [Belgium's political leaders] will be in the middle of coalition talks as it starts," says Mike Beke, a researcher at the Centre for European Policy Studies.
He thinks that with the experience of running 11 previous presidencies, Belgium will cope, despite domestic distractions.
"On the other hand, the expertise and experience of the Belgian administrations [of running an EU presidency] won't affect their work [forming a coalition] too much," he adds.
So while the business of the Belgian state grinds on, complex negotiations will follow the elections on 13 June as politicians try to form another coalition government.
But at the moment it is hard to see the country's politicians overcoming the differences that have dogged them for years. | The Houses of Parliament are for the first time being used as a set for a commercial film, as shooting for Suffragette takes place.

Protesters came from across Italy to attend "Family Day", which featured conga-dancing Catholic priests.
Parliament began considering the legislation earlier this week and is due to vote on it in February.
Italy is the last major Western nation not to give legal recognition to same-sex couples.
Many of those attending the rally at Rome's Circus Maximus, a former chariot-racing venue, held up banners saying "It is wrong even if it becomes law".
"These unions are very easy to form but also easy to collapse," said one protester. "Instead, we think that the family has great value and this law can destroy it."
A clause in the bill that allows gay people to adopt the biological children of their partner is proving particularly contested.
"The traditional family is based exclusively on a man and a woman. We don't want to deprive children of the right to have a father and a mother," said another of those there.
Organisers said two million had attended, far more than the venue's capacity, and journalists at the scene estimated the figure at around 300,000.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi faces opposition within his coalition government in his bid to pass the bill, with his environment minister attending and his interior minister tweeting support for the rally.
Last week rallies were held in major cities across Italy demanding legal recognition for same-sex couples
Italy has faced repeated complaints from European Court of Human Rights over its stance on gay marriage.
Investigators say they believe Pavel Tveretinov, from Sacramento, stole hives for more than three years.
Bees are a huge industry in California where they are rented out to pollinate almond trees and other valuable crops.
Mr Tveretinov, 51, was arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property and released on bail.
Detectives investigating a long spate of thefts got a break in the case in April when a tip-off led them to an address outside the city of Fresno, the Los Angeles Times reported.
There they found Mr Tveretinov in a beekeeper suit tending to more than 100 hives. He was arrested when it became clear that the beehives had been stolen.
Authorities suspect he had been stealing the hives at night, when the bees are dormant, and renting them out for cash.
Investigators in Fresno say Mr Tveretinov is suspected of stealing 2,500 hives worth about $875,000.
Thefts of beehives have become increasingly common around the world in recent years.
In March, police in New Zealand revealed that 400 thefts had been reported over a six month period. The country's honey industry has been booming, with huge exports to markets in Asia.
Among the smallest frogs in the world, they live on the forest floor and make insect-like calls at night.
Three larger species were also found, bringing to seven the number of night frogs discovered in the Western Ghats.
The mountain range, which runs parallel to the western coast of India, is home to hundreds of threatened plants and animals.
Scientists discovered the new species after several years of exploration in the forests of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
"These tiny frogs can sit comfortably on a coin or a thumbnail," said Sonali Garg of the University of Delhi, who was among the team that found the new creatures.
"We were surprised to find that the miniature forms are in fact locally abundant and fairly common.
"They were probably overlooked by researchers because of their extremely small size, secretive habitats and insect-like calls."
The night frog group, Nyctibatrachus, previously had 28 recognised species, of which three were miniature in size (less than 18mm).
The new species were identified through studying their DNA, physical features and call patterns.
The group is native to the Western Ghats of India, representing an ancient family that arose 70-80 million years ago.
Most of the new frogs live outside protected habitats or close to areas of human habitation.
Prof SD Biju of the University of Delhi, who led the research, has discovered over 80 new species of amphibians from India.
"Over 32%, that is one-third of the Western Ghats frogs, are already threatened with extinction," he said.
"Out of the seven new species, five are facing considerable anthropogenic threats and require immediate conservation prioritisation."
Dr Laurence Jarvis, head of conservation at the UK charity, Froglife, said the finding was globally significant.
"This highly biodiverse region contains many unique amphibian species and the area is under increasing threats from human disturbance," he said.
"The discovery of these new species will increase our understanding of the conservation priorities for amphibians in the region."
The research is published in PeerJ.

Georgia Varley died when she fell between the carriage and platform at James Street station in October 2011.
Christopher McGee, 46, of Wallasey, Wirral, was found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence at Liverpool Crown Court.
The Court of Appeal in London refused his bid to have his sentenced reduced.
CCTV shown to the jury during McGee's trial showed Georgia, who was drunk, mistakenly getting off the train just before 23:30 BST following a night out.
The sixth-form student from Moreton, Wirral, then turned around and leaned against the side of the train as she realised her friends were still on board.
McGee signalled for the driver to depart.
Georgia was then seen to stagger and fall down the gap as the train moved off, before stopping after travelling about 30ft (9m).
On sentencing him, Mr Justice Holroyde said McGee had taken a "terrible risk" with Georgia's safety.
Mr Justice Holroyde told McGee last November: "You did not intend to kill or even injure her, but you displayed an appalling disregard for her safety and she paid for your criminal negligence with her life."
McGee, who had been a train guard for Merseyrail since 1992, denied the charge of manslaughter by gross negligence but the jury unanimously found him guilty.
Having had his challenge refused, he could now refer his application to the Criminal Cases Review Commission for consideration.
The National Development and Reform Commission said it was investigating several foreign firms for possible anti-trust violations.
The foreign manufacturers say they will co-operate with the probe.
Foreign brands are popular because tainted milk scandals in China have created a distrust of local rivals.
Foreign brands now account for about half of all infant milk sales in China, reports say.
Parents who can afford it purchase foreign brands, which cost more than their Chinese counterparts, reports the BBC's Celia Hatton from Beijing.
The companies involved - which include Nestle SA, Danone, Mead Johnson Nutrition and Abbott Laboratories - have announced plans to co-operate with the investigation.
China has faced a series of milk-related scandals over the years.
In 2008, six infants died of severe kidney damage and an estimated 300,000 babies suffered from kidney stones after drinking tainted baby formula.
After testing, formula from several major Chinese dairy companies was found to contain melamine, an additive that falsely boosts the protein levels in milk.
In December 2011 and July 2012, two Chinese companies recalled baby formula containing high amounts of aflatoxin, a carcinogen produced by fungus in cows' feed.
Last year, another company issued a separate recall after "unusually high" levels of mercury were found in its main line of infant milk powder.
Because of this, Chinese consumers have increasingly been looking to overseas brands, but this has led to shortages in places such as Hong Kong.
The probe has gained support from some Chinese social media users.
One user of Sina Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter, wrote: "They should have done this a long time ago!"
Another, Sasha Xiaolei, wrote: "Global milk products are increasing in supply, yet the price of Western milk powder in China continues to increase. Is there really insufficient supply, or distributors controlling the prices? This investigation has come a little late, but is still to the satisfaction of everyone!"
However, many also expressed scepticism of the move, and concerns about the quality of Chinese milk powder.
"Whatever the outcome of the probe, local milk will still be local milk," Sina Weibo user xinhua909 wrote.
"The investigation may struggle to convince popular opinion," lawyer Deng Zhisong wrote on his microblog.
"As a father, I know that the fault with Chinese milk powder is not that it is too expensive, but that there are fundamental problems with its safety."
"Why should they point fingers at others, when they can't even regulate their own poisonous milk powder?" another user, called Securities Trader, wrote.

Leicester City's Jamie Vardy increased the pressure on Rooney's place with his first England goal but Hodgson said: "I have to repeat Wayne is our captain and he has captained the team extremely well in the past two years.
"He took us through a qualifying campaign where we had a complete success with 10 wins out out 10. It doesn't please me too much that it is suggested now that the moment he is injured and doesn't play he gets jettisoned in some way. He doesn't deserve that."
If Hodgson keeps faith with Kane and Alli in their current positions - and bearing in mind Vardy was also on the scoresheet and Arsenal's Danny Welbeck was back in England colours for the first time in a year after injury problems - Rooney is facing the biggest challenge to his place in more than a decade.
Hodgson insists the 30-year-old, England's record goalscorer with 51 goals in 109 appearances, will not allow the new breed to rest on their laurels.
He said: "When he comes back and is fit again he is going to be putting enormous pressure on these players, just like these players will be putting enormous pressure on him - and that is the situation we are looking forward to."
Alli's display and his partnership with Kane is emerging as a key option for Hodgson, leaving questions over where Rooney could fit in.
"Dele's performance against France in November was a man-of-the-match performance as well," said Hodgson.
"He was fantastic in that game and if anything it has pleased me even more that he has come out and done exactly the same again, and what is more he has done it in perhaps even more difficult circumstances.
"At the moment, all you can see with Dele is a very, very bright future. It is up to him and his club but he has got to make certain he doesn't think 'I am the complete and finished article'. You cannot be the complete and finished article at 19 - not if we are talking about winning tournaments.
"You need a little bit more experience and games behind you. I'm not trying to detract from his performance. We thought he was excellent from the first minute to the last. He is getting a lot of praise and I hope he enjoys it because he truly deserves it."
The emergence of a crop of exciting young players, and the brand of football they produce, has led to suggestions Hodgson is altering his approach to the game.
The 68-year-old denies that is the case.
"No, not at all," said Hodgson. "Unfortunately - and I don't know when I got it - but at some stage I was told I'm conservative in some way and that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
"I don't have it in Italy, I don't have it in Switzerland, just in England. I believe that is what is said. It is not true in my opinion and certainly I have never felt that way.
"I have worked for one or two teams, of course, where we have been nowhere near as good as the opposition and we have been put onto the back foot.
"But whenever I have had the team that has had the ability to take control of the game, take the initiative and take the game to the opposition, all of my teams have done that."
That being the case, Hodgson insists he is not motivated by a desire to prove people wrong.
He added: "You can't disprove what people say or think about you, you can only do your work and hope the work you do with the players will give some sort of reward or success.
"Then people can have their opinions. It has never bothered me at all - I haven't started thinking 'someone said that, I better do something different'.
"I think I have been, not quite a model of consistency throughout the 40 years, but there haven't been many ups and downs or twists and turns.
"I believe in playing football, I believe in taking the initiative and you can only win things if you have a team who can take the game to the opposition. It is difficult to win things in the long term if you go on the back foot."
One South Korean soldier had both legs amputated after the blast, while another lost one leg.
South Korea initially said there was no indication of North Korean involvement.
But a defence ministry official said on Monday that Seoul was "certain they were North Korean landmines planted with the intention to kill".
Officials said North Koreans had sneaked across the heavily protected border to plant three mines close to a South Korean border post.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement it was "a clear violation of the armistice agreement and the non-aggression agreements between the South and the North".
"As previously warned on many occasions, our military will make North Korea pay the equally pitiless penalty for their provocations," it said.
The 4km (2.5 mile)-wide DMZ is one of the world's most protected borders, separating the two Koreas which remain technically at war.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, he said his children would "shut me down" when he asked them how they were feeling.
He said he did not know the best way to talk to his three children, now aged 10, eight and five.
Ferdinand's wife, Rebecca, was 34 when she died of breast cancer in May 2015. The couple got married in 2009.
The ex-Manchester Utd defender was speaking to 5 live ahead of a BBC One documentary about grief on Tuesday at 21:00 BST.
He told 5 live's Emma Barnett: "I didn't know any techniques to speak to the children. I didn't know what buttons to push.
"I'd been starting conversations with them to try and get how they were feeling out, and they would just shut me down, walk away, close the conversation down completely."
In the BBC One programme, Ferdinand starts a memory jar for the family, enabling the children to talk about the happy moments when their mum was alive.
He said: "It kind of opened everything up and it was a beautiful moment just seeing them talk happily and being joyful about their mum rather than it being sad and negative moments.
"It switched it from dark to bright."
Ferdinand also said that, in the wake of Rebecca's death, he now understands why people contemplate suicide.
He told 5 live: "When you come into this situation you understand suicide, you understand people who do that and have those thoughts.
"I didn't think about it myself but I understand now how people get to that situation.
"I can't judge people like that now, whereas before I'd be sitting there, probably with Rebecca, saying that guy is so ignorant and selfish how has he just done that - left three beautiful kids.
"Now I could say I understand how he got to that point. I wouldn't do it, but I understand how he's there. You do get to those levels - and so it's a work-in-progress.
Ferdinand said: "At the beginning I'd sit and think how am I ever going to be happy?
"I can't see a point where I'm ever going to be able to smile, because I can get happy over here, but then I look at my children - and that brings you right back into sadness again because they haven't got a mum."
Throughout Tuesday's programme, he meets other widowers and talks to them about rebuilding a life and moving on.
But he would not be drawn on his own relationships, saying he was "disappointed" that there had been speculation about his private life, after recent photos in a tabloid newspaper linked him with a reality TV star.
He told 5 live: "That's disappointing... protecting my children is always the biggest thing for me... and that's what I'm fearful of with things being in the press.
"But the documentary has taught me there isn't a right time for anything like that, for if you're going to move on in a relationship... there is no right time.
"The only person who knows the right time is the person in those shoes. I've never spoken about my relationships in the past, in the public eye, and I'm not going to start talking about relationships or potential relationships that people are reporting on."
Commenting on how long it takes to recover from bereavement, Ferdinand said the government was "wrong" to cut back on the length of time widowed parents can receive a benefit.
Changes mean that from 6 April 2017, bereaved parents will only receive payments for 18 months. Previously, the payment lasted until children were 16 years old.
He said: "If I'm honest, I don't understand how the government can actually say there's a timescale on it because there is no timescale on anything to do with bereavement - every individual is different.
"One person may take six months another person may take 10 years. There isn't a time when you can say, 'Yeah I'm over it'. Putting a number on it is the wrong thing to do."
A spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions said the Bereavement Support Scheme was designed to help protect families from sudden financial difficulties.
He said: "We are updating an old system that was based on the outdated assumption that a widowed parent relied on their spouse for income, and would never work themselves. This does not reflect people's lives today.
He added: "Once the payments come to an end, there are means-tested benefits which can continue to support the bereaved, especially those who are bringing up children.
"The new payment is easier to claim, won't be taxed and does not affect the amount received from other benefits, helping those on the lowest incomes the most."
Father-of-four Bradley Moore, 43, died in hospital after being found with serious injuries in Warrington Street, Ashton-under-Lyne, on 27 July.
Four boys - aged 12, 16, 16 and 17 - have appeared in court charged with murder.
A 44-year-old man has also been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The 12-year-old boy was granted bail at Manchester Crown Court on Wednesday.
The youngster, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was not at the short hearing.
Two 16-year-old boys and a 17-year-old, who also cannot be named, have been placed in youth detention custody.
The next hearing will be at the same court on August 15.
They are due to stand trial on 16 January.
Talks between the club and the midfielder's representatives had stalled in recent months.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers even said the uncertainty was affecting the 25-year-old's performances.
But talks have been ongoing in the past 24 hours and a new long-term deal could be signed before Saturday's meeting with Kilmarnock.
Armstrong, formerly of Dundee United and capped twice by Scotland, has been linked with a move to a number of clubs in England's Premier League. His current deal runs until 2018.
He has made more than 250 club appearances and has won three Scottish Premiership titles with Celtic, as well as the League Cup and Scottish Cup last season.
The sites went offline at 22:00 local time (15:00 GMT) on Wednesday. Access was restored by Thursday morning.
It appeared to be a protest against the government's plan to limit access to sites deemed inappropriate.
Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition against the proposal they call the "Great Firewall of Thailand".
The name is a reference to the so-called "Great Firewall of China" commonly used to refer to the Chinese government's censorship over internet content.
A DDoS attack works by exceeding a website's capacity to handle internet traffic. They are usually orchestrated by a program or bot.
But on Wednesday, calls went out on social media in Thailand encouraging people to visit the websites and repeatedly refresh them.
Among the targets were the site of the ministry of information, communications and technology (ICT) and the main government website thaigov.go.th.
ICT Deputy Permanent Secretary Somsak Khaosuwan said the site did not crash because of an attack but because it was overloaded by visitors checking to see whether and attack was happening, the Bangkok Post reports.
Since seizing power, the Thai military government has increased censorship, blocked websites and criminally charged critics for comments made online.
News it was planning to set up a single government-controlled gateway as a "tool to control inappropriate websites and information flows from other countries" emerged last month.
Internet gateways are the point at which countries connect to the world wide web.
The cabinet had ordered a single gateway to be imposed in order to block "inappropriate websites" and control the flow of information from overseas. That the decision, made at a cabinet meeting on 30 June, was kept secret has caused more alarm.
A statement by Minister for Information Uttama Savanayana that the decision was not yet final, and that the single gateway was only intended to reduce the cost of internet access. This was met with disbelief by many Thais, and then the shutdown of government websites.
Thai netizens insist this is not an attack, but a form of civil disobedience. The military may still push ahead with its firewall, whatever the opposition. The need for control, as it confronts the task of managing a sensitive royal succession, will probably trump any concerns it may have for the digital economy.
Thailand used to have just a single gateway but slow internet speeds led to the liberalisation of the industry and today there are 10, operated by private and state-owned companies.
The apparent attack renewed the vibrant debate over the single gateway plan on social media, with many users declaring the end of privacy.
"Thailand is developing. Thailand is developing into North Korea," one Twitter user said.
"I personally & professionally support free flow of information & fair competition on ICTs," said Supinya Klangnarong from the National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commissions (NBTC) on Facebook.
"Hope NBTC's website won't be attacked tonight. An open debate is definitely better than a cyber warfare. Voices of reason shall be heard."
A group of academics and business leaders says a new cross-party body should set long-term educational goals protected from the electoral cycle.
They also want more emphasis on team working and problem-solving, and a baccalaureate system at A-level.
But the Department for Education said it was equipping pupils for the future.
"The secondary curriculum must support the economic strategy of the country" is the opening sentence of the first of 13 recommendations made in the report.
It calls for a new independent body to oversee the development of the curriculum in England, made up of teachers, employers, academics and representatives from the political parties.
It says the body would provide "consistency" and be able to take a strategic view rather than just concentrating on the electoral cycle.
The group points out that, on average, education secretaries have remained in post for two years over the past 25-year period.
The report, Making Education Work, follows a six-month review of England's education system by an independent advisory group, made up of prominent business leaders and chaired by an academic, Prof Sir Roy Anderson.
Among its wide-ranging conclusions is a recommendation for a broader curriculum at A-level, which should be gradually changed to a European-style baccalaureate system to include the study of English, maths and the Extended Project qualification.
The group wants more emphasis on "team working, emotional maturity, empathy and other interpersonal skills", which it says are "as important as proficiency in English and mathematics in ensuring young people's employment prospects".
Sir Roy Anderson emphasised the need for a long-term view, saying: "Successful businesses have clear objectives and goals which they pursue consistently over time, yet changes in government make it difficult to achieve this for education".
"This new independent advisory group on the curriculum will build on the current government's efforts to bring in a more diverse range of experts and experience into the education system, and create a long-term vision for us to work together towards the interests of young people," he added.
Sir Michael Rake, the chairman of BT who is also CBI president, is a member of the group.
He believes the current system has failed to meet the country's economic needs.
"Over the last 25 years and longer there have been multiple initiatives from different secretaries of state which have not achieved the necessary improvement in educational standards," he said.
"It is therefore time to establish a cross-party apolitical approach to education to move on from our narrow outdated focus with A-levels, and to improve on the other competencies necessary for success, including the fundamental need to improve the basic skills of literacy and numeracy, which are at an unacceptably low level."
But the Department for Education said its "new curriculum" had been developed after "extensive consultation with a wide range of experts".
"Alongside wider reform to GCSEs, A-levels and vocational qualifications this will mean young people leave school with the skills and qualifications they need to secure a job, apprenticeship or university place," a spokesperson added.
"As this week's results show, our plan to fix the education system is working and helping ensure all our children have a secure and prosperous future."
The DfE also points out that its new Tech Level qualifications have been endorsed by leading international companies, and lead to recognised professions including engineering, accounting, IT and construction.
The Association of School and College Leaders, which represents head teachers, gave the report an enthusiastic welcome.
The association's general secretary, Brian Lightman, said it had been calling for a similar approach for some time.
"Countries that do consistently well in international comparisons, like Singapore, have a long-term plan for their education service that rises above political considerations and is not driven by the electoral cycle," he said, "and there is no reason why England should not be able to do the same."
It was also welcomed by Mary Bousted from the Association of Teachers and Lecturers.
"Teachers have long despaired of politicians trying to make their mark by turning the curriculum 180-degrees every few years," she said.
She also welcomed the report's stress on the importance of empathy and emotional maturity.
"Education should not just be about turning out effective employees, but also about developing young people to have caring relationships and to be questioning citizens."
Research by the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) concluded that the behaviour patterns "precede many suicide attempts".
The study said effective prevention measures were "urgently needed".
The World Health Organisation estimates that there were more than 800,000 suicides worldwide in 2012.
The ECNP study evaluated 2,811 patients suffering from depression, of whom 628 had previously attempted suicide.
Researchers "looked especially at the characteristics and behaviours of those who had attempted suicide", and found that "certain patterns recur" before attempts.
They said the risk of an attempt was "at least 50% higher" if a depressed patient displayed:
Dr Dina Popovic, one of the report's authors, added: "We found that 'depressive mixed states' often preceded suicide attempts.
"A depressive mixed state is where a patient is depressed, but also has symptoms of 'excitation', or mania."
Michael Mansfield QC, whose daughter Anna took her own life earlier this year, said her death came "out of the blue".
He said she had two children and a successful career, and no one suspected she was at risk of suicide.
Speaking about the new research, he said: "We want to know more. We want somebody to correlate all this and make sense of what seems like a senseless situation.
"So I would welcome anybody who's spent the time and bothered to assemble the pattern of behaviour because in Anna's case there was a pattern of behaviour and I for one didn't really spot it."
Paul Farmer, of mental health charity Mind, said 6,000 UK people a year take their own lives - and "we don't know enough about why that happens".
He said the ENCP research had an "important message" about the "indicators that people should look out for" if they are worried about someone.
Factors already established included people being very withdrawn or very anxious, he said.
The study's findings are being presented at the ENCP conference in Amsterdam on Sunday.
Ben Davies' header gave Uwe Rosler's men all three points at Highbury, which kept Fleetwood's automatic promotion hopes alive.
Millwall dominated the opening 25 minutes and played Fleetwood off the park, but ended up paying the price for missed opportunities.
Neil Harris' men carved out seven chances in that blistering spell, with Lee Gregory wasting the two biggest opportunities.
Ben Thompson's effort from outside the box cannoned back off the post into the forward's path, but he fired straight at Fleetwood goalkeeper Alex Cairns when one-on-one.
Jed Wallace steamed down the left flank before teeing Gregory up in space in the box, but the striker's first-time effort crashed into a post.
And the Lions paid for their lack of bite as Fleetwood survived the storm and opened the scoring in first-half injury time.
Amari'i Bell was needlessly fouled on the left flank by Mahlon Romeo and, when George Glendon whipped the subsequent set-piece into the box, Davies nodded in his first goal for the club.
It was an end-to-end second half, with Gregory having an effort blocked on the line by Davies and Cairns making an unbelievable save to stop Jake Cooper's header.
Millwall threw everything at Fleetwood in the dying stages, but some excellent defending from the hosts and a last-gasp Cairns save from Calum Butcher's header denied the Lions.

The local authority owns the tower at the 19th Century criminal and civil courts complex.
A new viewing platform has been created on the tower.
The rest of the castle is to be turned into a visitor centre once new a courts building is constructed on another site in Inverness.
Highland Council, Inverness Common Good Fund and Highlands and Islands Enterprise have all contributed to the cost of the North Tower project, which includes new access, a shop and a stairway to the roof and viewing platform.
Inverness City Region Deal money has also been made available to improve the approaches to the 175-year-old North Tower and castle, which will include an upgrade of Castle Wynd.
Inverness Provost Helen Carmichael said: "The views are spectacular from the top and I am confident that visitors to Inverness will be delighted with the Castle Viewpoint.
"It adds significantly to the city's draw as a worldwide tourist destination."
Highland Council's leader, Margaret Davidson added: "I am delighted that the Castle Viewpoint will be open for Easter.
"The first week will be free to visitors and locals who wish to get a look at how the tower has been transformed."
PSA's board agreed the deal on Friday, and an official announcement is planned for Monday, said Reuters, citing unnamed sources.
News that the two companies were in talks emerged last month raising fears that the deal could lead to job losses.
Vauxhall has 4,500 UK staff based at plants in Ellesmere Port and Luton.
Opel employs about 19,000 people in Germany, about half its workforce..
Politicians and unions in both Germany and the UK have been lobbying PSA and GM on behalf of their respective workforces.
They fear that PSA, which is 14% owned by the French state, may cut jobs outside France.
If an outline deal has been reached this lobbying looks likely to increase.
Last week the BBC learned that both PSA and GM were keen to sign a so-called "statement of intent" before the Geneva Motor Show which starts on 6 March to prevent ongoing speculation overshadowing the release of new models.
If the takeover were to go through it would mean GM would no longer have a presence in the UK and Europe.
PSA would become Europe's second-largest carmaker, behind VW, with a 16% share of the European market. Renault-Nissan is currently Europe's second biggest carmaker.
Earlier this year GM reported a loss of $257m (£206m) from its European operations last year.
That was the 16th consecutive loss-making year for GM in Europe, bringing its cumulated losses on the continent since 2000 to more than $15bn.
Reuters quoted sources as saying that PSA expected to make savings of up to 2 billion euros (£1.7bn) as a result of the takeover of Opel.
Leaflets circulating in Pakistan calling for the murder of members of the Ahmadi Muslim sect directed readers to a website naming Stockwell Mosque.
The website mentioned on the leaflets in turn advised people with queries to contact the mosque in Stockwell.
Angry trustees at the mosque said its name had been misused and it had no links to the Pakistani organisation.
Trustee Toaha Qureshi said: "We don't have any linkage with this organisation which is promoting hate."
Minority communities in Pakistan have become targets of intense discrimination and even assassination.
A full scale assault by Jihadi gunmen on an Ahmadi mosque in Lahore in May 2010 left 93 people dead and a whole community terrorised.
The Ahmadis' beliefs are at theological odds with Islam and it has been a source of conflict for decades.
The Ahmadis have a display to "martyrs" at their international headquarters in Merton, south London.
Leaders of that community claim support from British Muslims is fostering a campaign of hate in Pakistan. They say as a result more people are arriving in London seeking asylum.
Dr Hamidullah Rehmatullah Mughal was a prominent dentist and elder in the Ahmadi community of Faisalabad. His family believe he was targeted by militants trying to cleanse Pakistan of religious opponents.
He was murdered in a sectarian killing shortly after the Lahore bombings.
His family say it was his desire to build a mosque for the Ahmadi community that brought him into conflict with Mullahs who are supported by the Pakistani Taliban.
His daughters Asifa and Zahida, along with their mother, have claimed they needed to go into hiding for several months and they have now sought asylum in the UK.
It is not only Ahmadis who are targeted by Jihadis in Pakistan but since the armed attack on the Lahore mosque, threats are said to have intensified against this community.
In London, too, hostilities have burst into the open. In Tooting last year a public campaign to boycott Ahmadi businesses was only halted after the intervention of local MPs and community leaders.
In the latest escalation in July leaflets were circulated in Faisalabad calling on ordinary Muslims to murder Ahmadis and attack their businesses.
The leaflet was handed out in several markets in the city and, according to local lawyer Muzaffar Ahmad Zafar, it spread panic.
It was this leaflet that directed readers to the Khatme Nubuwwat (KN) organisation's website.
KN is a perfectly legitimate group which defends the traditional interpretation of Islam. In this case the website advised that all overseas queries should be directed to the Stockwell mosque.
It is the fear among Ahmadis that support from London Muslims is making matters worse in Pakistan.
Prominent Ahmadi Pakistani and Supreme Court Lawyer Muji ur Rehman suggests many British Muslims are "carrying fundamentalist ideology from here (London) back to Pakistan, when instead we would expect them to come with their liberalism instead".
BBC London approached the trustees of the Stockwell mosque to ask if they supported the call for murder in the leaflets and why they appeared to be associated with this type of hate literature.
Mr Qureshi, a senior trustee brought in to rehabilitate the mosque after it was taken over by radicals at the time of 9/11, has expressed his anger that they have been associated in any way with the leaflet.
He said: "We are very angry, this is why we have contacted the authorities in Pakistan that our name is falsely being used."
Although neither Mr Qureshi nor BBC London could verify who had produced the leaflet in Pakistan, Mr Qureshi promised to make strenuous efforts to have Stockwell Mosque's name removed from the KN website.
Within three days of speaking to BBC London that happened.
Mr Qureshi said that when he had contacted the people responsible for the website they insisted the mosque's name would not reappear.
Evidence in Pakistan points to increasing violence against various minority groups. The Ahmadis are clearly not alone in that regard.
Making sure that intolerance does not spread to the capital remains a priority for London's Ahmadi community.
Police received a warning on Tuesday night that a device had been left on the Carnanbane Road near the village of Feeny.
A controlled explosion was carried out on Wednesday, and police confirmed that the device was a viable bomb.
The alert ended on Thursday and all roads have been reopened.
Earlier, Supt John Magill has called on the "reckless individuals" responsible to "give the community a break".
"This is the second security alert in the area since mid-November," he said.
"Again, we have had road closures and disruption caused to a rural community.
"People are trying to go about their day to day lives. They are trying to get children to school, visit elderly relatives and go about their working week.
"The last thing people need is the recklessness and disruption created by these incidents."
Earlier this month, there was a three-day security operation after a viable explosive device was left in Drumsurn, near Limavady in County Londonderry. Dissident republicans later said they had left it there.
A controlled explosion was carried out on that device.
The main political parties have spent the past three weeks talking to each other, as well as the UK and Irish governments, in an attempt to break the deadlock that threatens devolution.
But now that Monday's 16:00 deadline to reach a power-sharing agreement has passed, the threat of another snap Northern Ireland Assembly election looms large.
So, where does each party stand in the talks and what are their demands?
Just as it has been a sticking point at political talks tables down through the years, the legacy of Northern Ireland's Troubles is again one of the biggest issues facing the parties.
The DUP believes investigations into Troubles killings have an undue focus on the Army rather than loyalist and republican paramilitaries, even though the police say the figures suggest otherwise.
Party leader Arlene Foster says she wants to see a "proportionate, fair and balanced system" in dealing with murder cases from the conflict.
A spotlight is also on Mrs Foster's position as first minister after Sinn Féin said she could not hold the role, at least until the public inquiry into the controversial Renewable Heat Incentive scheme is over.
But she had warned that if Sinn Féin sticks to that stance, then she will have something to say about who it puts forward as deputy first minister.
Under the stewardship of Michelle O'Neill, Sinn Féin was the big winner in this month's snap assembly election, closing the gap on the DUP from 10 seats to a solitary one.
Mrs O'Neill has made it clear that her party will not enter an executive with Arlene Foster in the first minister's post.
But Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams said the DUP leader's position at Stormont will only be discussed once overall agreement has been reached on broader issues that divide the parties.
Among the top priorities for Sinn Féin are a guarantee of legislation to give official status to the Irish language, a bill of rights, and an agreement with the UK government releasing funding for and information to inquests into Troubles deaths.
The government, however, has shown little willingness to budge on the legacy inquest funding, Mrs O'Neill has claimed.
Colum Eastwood's party appears more willing to return to the executive after spending the previous mandate in opposition with the Ulster Unionists.
But Brexit is the primary issue for the SDLP, and Mr Eastwood has said he and his colleagues will only consider joining an executive that has agreed on the "challenges" that the UK's withdrawal from the EU will present to Northern Ireland.
With leader Mike Nesbitt stepping down shortly after the Ulster Unionists' capitulation at the polls, the MP Tom Elliott has taken on the role of the party's chief negotiator in the talks.
Troubles legacy matters are high on the agenda for the party, and it has taken issue with the Irish government.
The Ulster Unionists believe it must do more to fulfil its responsibilities on the matter.
Mr Elliott said during talks that it needs to provide "full disclosure" of sensitive information linked to Troubles murders, to allow progress on long-awaited inquests.
"Unless they are going to bring us more information and bring those victims more information then I feel they are failing in their duties," Mr Elliott said.
An unwillingness by the DUP to reform the assembly's petition of concern was one reason why the Alliance Party did not enter the executive after last year's election, and that remains a major issue.
The petition of concern effectively allows MLAs to veto any proposal or legislative change in the assembly, but 30 members are required to sign it before it become effective.
Brexit is also a sticking point for the Alliance Party - the previous DUP and Sinn Féin executive failed to form a strategy for how Northern Ireland would handle the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
Deputy leader Stephen Farry said there now needs to be an agreed way forward between those parties.
The Homeland and Supergirl star is among the actors whose names have been suggested to replace Peter Capaldi.
"It's nice to be in the running," he told BBC News.
"It needs to do something different, so I think it's either going to be a black person or a woman. It would just bring a different flavour to it."
The 51-year-old British actor has already been in Doctor Who, appearing in the 2009-10 double bill The End of Time. He can currently be seen playing the Martian Manhunter in the The CW's Supergirl.
"I'm already playing an alien so maybe I could switch and play a Time Lord - who knows what's going to happen," he said. "It's nice to be in the running. It's an iconic role."
The current bookmakers' favourite to take over the Tardis is Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton, and Harewood said she would be a good choice.
"She's extraordinary anyway so I think she'd be great," Harewood said. "It would be a very different Doctor and maybe that's what it needs."
The actor said it was good that four of the five current favourites are women - with Maxine Peake, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Olivia Colman also tipped.
Harewood was speaking at the Independent Spirit Awards in California, where he was nominated for best male lead for playing a Pentecostal minister trying to perform miracles in Free In Deed.

But currently it's difficult to see what the downs are.
The 22-year-old Olympic champion has retained both his 50m and 100m breaststroke titles in Budapest.
He also broke his own 50m world record twice on Tuesday, once in the heats and again in the semi-final.
He did miss out on a medal in the 4x100m mixed medley relay final, but can still add to his tally in Sunday's 4x100m men's medley relay.
The two medals already secured in Budapest mean Peaty, who won gold in the 100m breaststroke in Rio, now has five world golds in his career, more than any other Briton.
"He is the poster boy for swimming across the world, not just in Britain," said double Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington after Wednesday's final.

Peaty now holds the Olympic, world, European and Commonwealth 100m breaststroke titles and the world record time; he also holds the world and European 50m breaststroke titles, and world record time - the 50m breaststroke is not an Olympic event.
His global domination began at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and within three years he has won 16 major titles.
He said: "My main aim when I won Commonwealths, even though I was a young, skinny kid, was to try to take on the world - 'Can I win all the grand slams in two years?'
"I didn't even think about world records. I just wanted those four titles within two years. Now I've done that.
"I've had an extra year now, got 16 international gold medals with all the world records."
BBC Sport's Olympic sports reporter Nick Hope in Budapest
Adam Peaty is undeniably Britain's most dominant male swimmer of the post-war era.
Duncan Goodhew (1980) and Adrian Moorhouse (1988) may each have won Olympic gold medals, but Peaty also has a silver to his name from the 4x100m medley relay in Rio - and no-one from Great Britain comes close to his five world titles.
Even on the women's side, double Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington claimed just one world title during her impressive career.
Internationally Peaty has a long way to go before matching the likes of American Michael Phelps' record tally of 26 world titles, although he is halfway to joining legends Grant Hackett and Ryan Lochte on four straight world golds in the same event.
Australia's Hackett won 1500m freestyle at four World Championships between 1998 and 2005, while American Lochte was unbeaten in the 200m individual medley between 2009 and 2015.
"He is just making the exceptional look routine," said BBC Radio 5 live commentator John Hunt. "If you look at the scoreboard and he has not broken another world record there is a bit of disappointment.
"Look at the 100m, the gains he made on the clock over the past 18 months are equivalent to the previous nine years before him. That is how quick his progress is."
The City of Derby and Loughborough swimmer was once so afraid of water his mum Caroline struggled to give him a bath.
"He didn't like the water when he was younger," said grandmother Mavis Williams. "He used to scream every time he got in the bath. And when his mum used to take him to the pool he used to scream there.
"Then one day Caroline's friend took him and it paid off. And he's been swimming ever since."
He has been coached by three-time Olympian Melanie Marshall since he was 14.
His breakthrough came in 2013 when he won 50m breaststroke silver and 100m breaststroke bronze at the ASA National Youth Championships in Sheffield before ducking under a minute in the 100m breaststroke for the first time to win gold.
A first senior championship appearance followed at the European Short Course Championships in Denmark that year and then came his first major medal at the Commonwealth Games.
Peaty's grandmother Mavis became a social media sensation after her enthusiastic tweets about her grandson's gold-medal winning performance in Rio and got the hashtag #OlympicNan trending overnight.
And despite not having flown for 20 years, Mavis travelled to Budapest this week to watch her grandson achieve the double-double.

Peaty said of his mum and nan's support: "I wouldn't have those performances if they weren't here. I try to make them as proud as possible and hopefully I have."
Peaty has two tattoos on his left arm. The smaller one shows the Olympic rings, with the word 'equilibrium' below them; the larger is the British lion, which runs from shoulder to elbow.
"It's a British lion because I'm very patriotic and the lion has characteristics I can relate to - like being proud and strong," he said.
"It reminds me what it took to get that gold and the world record."

Weights are among Peaty's favourite workouts, and he also has his own 'jump clap' and 'chin-up clap' routines, which emphasise his colossal upper-body strength and have gone viral on social media in recent months.
In addition to a gruelling workout regime, 6ft 3in Peaty can also eat upwards of 6,000 calories a day when in heavy training, three times more than the average man, and he can bench press 132kg.
"The key is to keeping everything chilled, and watching Modern Family," said Peaty on Wednesday.
He suggests "equilibrium" was key to his success this week.
"I'm a massive believer that all areas of your life need to be equal for you to perform at your best," he added. "Lifestyle, family and friendships - if one is out then you are not going to be at that level."
Peaty claims to prefer staying out of the spotlight, but his manager Rob Woodhouse says the swimmer enjoys his time in front of the camera.
He posed in just his trunks for for gay magazine Attitude, while another media appearance, for sponsor Arena, saw him walk around Trafalgar Square during the middle of the day in just his swimwear.
Woodhouse said: "He loves the photo shoots, he loves stripping off and getting oiled up. He does not do them that often but he likes those sort of things."

Peaty's goal is to become the first swimmer to go under 57 seconds over 100m and he is getting closer, setting the world record of 57.13 at the Rio Olympics last year.
He clocked 57.47 in the final in Budapest on Monday and described himself as "over the moon" with the second fastest time in history.
"It gives me confidence that I can one day go 56. That dream now is burning more alive than ever."
"It is so doable," said former world champion Karen Pickering.
"You have seen how far he is able to knock the time down on the 50m breaststroke. He quite often goes out in a similar time in the 100m so he will be able to get to halfway dead on 26 seconds. That would man he would only need to come back in 30 seconds.
"I love the fact he is looking ahead, looking forward to these targets - he is not worried about who is behind him."
BBC Sport's Olympic sports reporter Nick Hope
With the tattoos, photo-shoots, expensive watches and talk of his love for fast cars, Peaty could be in danger of appearing arrogant, but he is actually a very grounded man who happens to be going through a golden period of his career of the sort sprinter Usain Bolt enjoyed in 2008-2009.
Like Bolt, Peaty has 'showman' like moments; like Bolt, he is able to talk freely about his targets because he is so at ease with himself and his abilities.
But his family and his coach made sure the young Adam Peaty remained humble and thankful for the sacrifices that others had made to help him.
So in the same breath as discussing 'Project 56' - his plan to become the first swimmer to go under 57 seconds over 100m - he is emphasising how it's important for him to go back and visit local schools in his community to inspire future swimmers.
As to 'Project 56', few people - including the man himself - actually thought it would come this year. It will come before Toyko 2020, of that I'm sure - but whether Peaty can ever lower his 50m time again is a big question.
He was genuinely stunned about swimming 25.95 in the semi-finals and looking at the race it is difficult to see where improvements can actually be made. As it is a non-Olympic event future challenges may come over 200m should he decide to tackle that distance in the near future.
It's strongly believed he could 'test out' the event at next year's Commonwealth Games and while that would improve his medal chances at Tokyo 2020 - it could be to the detriment of his out-and-out speed. It will be fascinating to see how he and coach Mel Marshall plan to combine all of the challenges over the coming years.
Adrian Galliers, 50, from Guernsey, was found guilty of 10 counts of fraud over a four-and-a-half year period.
Galliers carried out the deception through his company Guernsey Financial Consultants Limited.
The Royal Court heard he had taken money from his clients' pension funds after suffering financial difficulties.
The company was fined £42,000 last year by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission after concerns were raised about the way the business was being run.
The court heard how Galliers initially moved money with the intent of paying it back to his clients, but the situation spiralled out of control.
The prosecution said three of the people Galliers had defrauded were long term friends who "trusted him implicitly".
Will Giles told the court one individual had known the financial adviser for 20 years and they had a long and well established friendship.
Galliers had suffered from depression and the GFSC fine had impacted him greatly, it was said.
He was described as being too "proud" and "ignorant" to admit the extent of his problems.
Judge Russell Finch sentenced him to three years for each of the 10 counts of fraud, to run concurrently.
Mr Finch said Galliers was trusted and regarded as a friend by his victims, but in reality he stole from them.
The "wholly despicable" offences reflected badly on the local pensions and insurance sectors, he added.
Ed Lester had not been added to the SLC payroll when given a two-year contract in January 2011, BBC Newsnight said.
He was paid through a private firm - an arrangement agreed with tax chiefs.
But while Mr Lester's pay will now be taxed "at source", Labour's Margaret Hodge warned the door remained open for future public sector tax avoidance.
Her party had asked an "urgent question" on the matter, following the BBC Newsnight and Exaro News investigation.
It forced Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander, who signs off civil service salaries above £142,500, to come to the Commons.
He told MPs he was "not aware... of any tax benefit to the individual concerned" when approving the salary level, which he claimed he had "reduced significantly".
He said official guidance said public sector organisations should "avoid using tax advisers and avoidance schemes".
In light of Mr Lester's case, he had asked the Treasury to review the "appropriateness of allowing public sector appointees to be paid through this mechanism".
"I have also asked the Treasury officer of accounts to write to all accounting officers across Whitehall to remind them that all appointments should, in line with existing guidance, consider the wider cost of lost revenue to the Exchequer when considering value for money."
All departments would carry out an internal audit by the end of March, he said, and would include pay deals agreed under the previous Labour government.
But Labour's Margaret Hodge, who chairs the influential public accounts committee, said Mr Alexander appeared to have left the door open to future tax avoidance schemes.
She quoted a letter he sent to senior civil servants saying public sector organisations should "consult its usual Treasury contacts and HMRC before going ahead" with proposals using tax avoidance.
Mrs Hodge told Newsnight: "He is not ruling it out in the way that I inferred from what he said in the House today."
She added: "We've got to understand the role he played in agreeing to the particular circumstances."
Labour MP Nick Brown had earlier said it was "reassuring" to hear that income tax and NI would from now be deducted from Mr Lester's pay. He said such practices had a "demoralising and corrosive effect" on the wider public sector.
He also asked what fees were being paid to the private service company through which Mr Lester was paid and whether the cabinet secretary, prime minister or business secretary had agreed to the "controversial" arrangements.
Shadow business minister Labour's Shabana Mahmood said at a time the economy was "flatlining... the news that ministers approved the contract of a senior official, which allowed tax and National Insurance to be avoided, shows just how out of touch they are".
According to Freedom of Information documents disclosed to BBC Newsnight from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) SLC chairman Ed Smith wrote to Universities Minister David Willetts to get approval for Mr Lester's contract in December 2010.
The letter states that the deal was "subject to ratification with HMRC on the extension of their current concession".
Mr Willetts replied a week later, telling Mr Smith: "The terms of the appointment that you proposed in your letter of 15 December 2010 have been agreed by the chief secretary to the Treasury."
Mr Alexander was repeatedly pressed by Labour MPs on what ministers knew about the tax arrangements and told them he was "not made aware" of any tax benefit to Mr Lester.
He said the terms and conditions were "negotiated by the appointing department" - in this case BIS - and he had simply agreed the salary level because it was over £142,500.
Earlier Business Secretary Vince Cable said Mr Lester was "an exceptionally useful individual who has helped to turn round that organisation [the Student Loans Company]".
He added: "The arrangements under which the negotiations took place involved substantial value for money for the taxpayer, a tax cut by the individual and we will pursue matters of public concern on the tax issues."
But Conservative MP Richard Bacon said there had been "too much of this going on" and quoted former Tory leader Lord Howard saying "special rules for special groups breed anger and division".
Fellow Conservative backbencher David Nuttall pointed out that tax avoidance was legal - unlike tax evasion.
Mr Alexander agreed but added that the government was taking "strong action" to deal with both.
Mr Lester was appointed interim chief executive in May 2010, following months of chaos at the SLC.
BBC Newsnight reported that he was recruited through the specialist recruitment agency Penna plc, and requested the daily fee for his work as a consultant of £900 to be paid without tax or National Insurance contributions (NIC) deducted - which was agreed with HM Revenue and Customs.
In January 2011, he was appointed on a two-year contract but retained the terms of his temporary employment, instead of being added to the payroll.
Before his employment was finalised, the terms of his remuneration were brought to the attention of Universities Minister David Willetts and Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell, who sought clarification about the cost of employing Mr Lester, and the tax arrangements, before approving his appointment.
The study aims to enrol 5,400 sexually active young men and women.
About seven million people in South Africa are living with the virus, which is one reason why the trial is taking place there.
Experts hope the vaccine will be "the final nail in the coffin" for HIV.
The vaccine regime being tested is based on one used in a trial in Thailand in 2009, which had a protection rate of about 30%. Results from South Africa are expected in four years.
Since the HIV virus was identified in 1983, efforts to develop an effective vaccine have proved unsuccessful.
Researchers hope that this might come to an end with the current study, which is code-named HVTN 702.
It is being led by South Africa's Glenda Gray, a university research professor and head of South Africa's Medical Research Council.
"It will tell us whether the initial success observed [at a smaller scale] will bear fruit in the form of a safe and effective HIV vaccine designed for the people of southern Africa," Dr Gray said.
According to the United Nations, more than 30 million people have died from Aids since the 1980s.
Recent breakthroughs in anti-retroviral treatments have improved the lifespan of Aids patients.
However, the only effective prevention remains abstinence or the use of barrier methods such as condoms during sexual intercourse.
As part of the present trial, study participants will receive a total of five injections over one year, says the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is sponsoring the trial.
Awethu Benenengu, a 20-year-old construction worker, who is one of the participants in the trial, told the BBC's Nomsa Maseko in Johannesburg that he volunteered because he wanted to help defeat Aids.
"I decided to get involved because I don't like the way my HIV-positive cousin is treated," Mr Benenengu said.
"There is so much stigma. I want to be part of a generation that changes this and I want my children to be proud one day of their father for getting involved in making history."
Participants who become infected with HIV during the trial will be referred to local medical providers for care and treatment, NIH adds.
They will be advised on how to reduce their risk of transmitting the virus. | It was the year Leicester City stunned football after Tottenham pushed them close - and it is one that ends with a fascinating tussle developing at the top and bottom of the Premier League table.

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.

Stephen Humphreys, 33, Eric Blackley, 57, and Robert Cameron, 65, were crew on the Flying Phantom, which capsized in thick fog on 19 December 2007.
Clydeport originally denied breaching health and safety laws but changed its plea to guilty last week.
Tugboat owner Svitzer Marine was fined £1.7m after it admitted failures.
The Flying Phantom, which was based at Greenock, Inverclyde, capsized and sank in heavy fog opposite Clydebank College in West Dunbartonshire on 19 December 2007.
At the time of the accident, it had been towing the 77,000-ton Red Jasmine cargo ship, which was carrying a large load of animal feed.
Clydeport admitted failing to have in place an adequate contingency plan if fog was encountered, especially when a large vessel was being towed.
It also admitted failing to provide a safety management system and to appoint a suitable individual or individuals as the designated person.
A trial was originally fixed in the case at the High Court in Edinburgh before the plea was negotiated last week.
Judge Lord Kinclaven said the court required to mark the seriousness of the offending by imposing "a substantial fine" on Clydeport.
Lord Kinclaven said: "I appreciate there is nothing that I can do or say in this court that can compensate for the tragic deaths of the late Stephen Humphreys, Robert Cameron and Eric Blackley - or for the ordeal suffered by Brian Aitchison."
The judge said that on the basis of the accepted plea "the proximate cause" of the loss of life on the tug was the offending of Svitzer.
But he added that he had to bear in mind that Clydeport had committed a serious offence over a substantial period of time.
The judge said this had began with "the Abu Egila incident in 2000" - where the Egyptian cargo ship holed the Flying Phantom after they collided during towing in thick fog - and "ended with Red Jasmine incident in 2007".
"Clydeport are correct to take its responsibilities as harbour authority for the Clyde very seriously," said the judge.
He said that the fine imposed on Clydeport would be "significantly lower than the one imposed on Svitzer who accepted responsibility for causing three fatalities".
The judge said that he would allow 28 days for the fine to be paid.
He added that if Clydeport had not accepted its responsibility through the guilty plea it would have faced a penalty in the order of pounds £750,000.
Earlier, advocate depute Gillian Wade QC, prosecuting, told the court: "The charge before the court relates to failures on the part of Clydeport to adequately assess risks and provide a safe system of work.
"The present charge is not that Clydeport was the proximate cause of the December 2007 incident by their failures," she said.
The prosecutor said the introduction of new work instructions had ensured "a more robust safety regime for those engaged in towage on the Clyde".
She told the court that a suitable and sufficient risk assessment should have addressed the issue of large vessels encountering thick fog during transit.
Richard Keen QC, counsel for Clydeport, told Lord Kinclaven that when Svitzer pleaded guilty last year it was on the express basis that their breaches of duty had caused the "girting" and sinking of the tug.
"Here in the case of Svitzer clearly their breaches of duty were a significant cause of the death of three men, but it is not the case that any breaches here by Clydeport were a significant cause of such deaths," he said.
"A review, an investigation of Clydeport's systems discloses that it could and indeed should have done things better."
The QC added: "There are no aggravating features here such as a party being told they are not doing it right and then doing nothing about it."
Mr Keen said Clydeport would continue to strive to minimise the hazards linked with navigation on the Clyde.
Andrew Henderson, a partner with Thompsons Solicitors who represented the families of the men who lost their lives, said: "This fine imposed on Clydeport shows just how serious the breaches of health and safety regulations were.
"The sentence sends out a clear message to all companies who operate on the River Clyde that safety must come first.
"Now that this prosecution is at an end the Crown Office must, without delay, begin a fatal accident inquiry into the Flying Phantom's sinking."
Mr Henderson added: "This is the only way we can learn lessons from this awful accident to make sure something like this never happens again."
Following the tugboat capsize in December 2007, crewman Brian Aitchison, 37, from Coldingham, was rescued from the water after he managed to escape from the vessel's wheelhouse.
The bodies of skipper Mr Humphreys, from Greenock, Mr Cameron, from Houston in Renfrewshire, and Mr Blackley, from Gourock, were later recovered.
The tug itself was raised in a salvage operation the following month.
An inquiry by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) later concluded that the tug's towing winch had not released quickly enough, which meant it was capsized by the vessel it was pulling.
The report also highlighted failings in procedure to ensure the tug operated safely in foggy weather.
And that despite being worth more than $300m (£200m), he will never stop wanting to make more.
The bassist and co-vocalist of stadium-filling, costume-wearing and face-painted US band Kiss, says: "Life is business, and I approach life the way sharks approach life - they must keep moving or else they will drown.
"I'll never stop hunting more money, I'll never have enough."
With Kiss now in South America on the latest stage of a two-year sell-out world tour, Simmons, 65, took time out to speak to the BBC about his long career in the music industry, and his host of other business interests.
Although famous for sticking out his very long tongue, and past womanising - he claims to have slept with 4,800 women - what is much less well known is that Simmons has always been the financial brains of the band. He is its de facto chief executive.
Ever since the four-piece band formed in New York in 1973, it has been Simmons who has kept his eyes on the finances. And it was his incredibly lucrative idea for the band to sell as much merchandise as possible.
For while Kiss have sold 100 million records around the world, the band has actually made more money from selling licensed products.
Over the group's 42-year history, it has authorised more than 5,000 different items of merchandise, everything from rock band staples such as T-shirts and hats, to comic books, pinball machines, credit cards, and even condoms and coffins.
Not forgetting jewellery, ashtrays, lunchboxes, Halloween costumes, baseballs and beach towels. And a golf course and coffee shop.
It is a business empire which under Simmons' stewardship just keeps on growing.
This has led to the band's critics - and there have been many over the years - accusing the group of being too commercially-focused, of cheapening itself at the expense of its music.
The calm and quietly spoken Simmons says he has no respect for such people.
He says (after a liberal amount of swear words have been edited out): "All our lives Kiss has been hounded by people who haven't achieved anything. And we buried them long ago.
"I call selling merchandise 'the Kiss business', and every band sells T-shirts, every band sells merchandise. They just don't do as good a job of it as us."
The son of a mother who survived the Holocaust, Simmons was born in the Israeli city of Haifa in 1949. His birth name was Chaim Witz.
Describing his family as "dirt poor", he first showed his entrepreneurial spirit as a seven year old, when he and a friend started to pick wild fruit which they then sold on roadsides.
He says it was his first lesson in the importance of working hard and making money.
The family then emigrated to the US a year later, and growing up in New York, Simmons was inspired to start a band after watching the Beatles on television.
In 1973 Kiss was formed, with Simmons on bass, Paul Stanley and Ace Frehley on guitars, and Peter Criss on drums.
With Simmons and Stanley sharing the vocals, each band member painted his face with a different design, and took on a stage name.
Simmons' name was "The Demon", and on a white background he drew black flames around his eyes. Not forgetting putting on platform boots and body armour.
Fuelled by catchy hard rock songs, and the outlandish make-up and outfits giving the band a major promotional push, within a few years Kiss was enjoying soaring sales and sell-out tours.
The music critics were often hostile, with many accusing the group of being all image over substance, but Kiss built up a massive fan base around the world.
Yet despite living a multi-million dollar lifestyle for four decades, Simmons says he has never drunk alcohol, taken drugs, or even smoked a cigarette.
"As a young man at parties, I'd look around and see all the other men completely drunk, behaving like idiots, and unable to talk to the beautiful girls," he says.
"What a complete waste of humanity... booze or drugs have never done anything for me, but I fully uphold people's right to have a completely loser life."
Although original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss are no longer in the group, Kiss continues to tour the world with Stanley as the musical leader and Simmons as the businessman.
He describes his stewardship of the current world tour as like "driving a truck".
"I'm driving and I keep an eye on everything," says Simmons. "But open the hood and I don't have a clue what is going on with the engine.
"Thankfully I hire people who can do all that for me. Paul and I always have a great team with us... and every night we put on one hell of a show. We are deadly serious when up on stage."
In addition to looking after Kiss, Simmons' other business interests now include everything from a restaurant chain, to an American football team, reality TV shows, a new horror movie production company, book and magazine publishing, public speaking, and language translation services.
He says he is able to find the time for everything because he loves working, and is never hungover.
"Think about how much time most people waste doing nothing - weekends, nothing, holidays, nothing, Christmas, nothing. That all adds up.
"Me I'm always working. When I'm on tour, I'm constantly on my computer working."
When at home, Simmons lives in Los Angeles with his long-term partner Shannon Tweed, an actress and former Playboy playmate, with whom he has two children.
He says: "I'm like [billionaire investor] Warren Buffett - he gets up every day and goes to work even though he doesn't need the money.
"I live to make more money. People who say that money is the root of all evil are morons, a lack of money is the root of all evil."
These new mayors' remits will cover multiple local authorities, in mostly urban areas.
Their main responsibility will be to decide their region's economic strategy, and many will have powers covering other areas such as transport and housing. However, their exact powers will vary according to the terms of the agreements each region has made with the government.
In addition, Doncaster and North Tyneside councils are holding elections for directly-elected mayors. The mayors act as executive leaders of these local authorities.

Iceland took the lead through Fanndis Fridriksdottir's composed low finish.
Lara Dickenmann levelled after Bachmann's pass before the latter nodded the Swiss ahead.
Switzerland keeper Gaelle Thalmann had stitches on the pitch after an accidental clash of heads with Iceland's Gunnhildur Yrsa Jonsdottir.
Play was delayed nine minutes while Thalmann received treatment, the 31-year-old finishing the game with a head bandage.
Switzerland are level on three points with Group C rivals Austria and France, who both have a game in hand and play each other at 19:45 BST.
Iceland remain without a point after two games.

"In our view, ISIL [IS] must cease to have any safe haven in Syria," Mr Harper said in the House of Commons.
Canada's mission against IS will also be extended for one year, beyond October's election and well into 2016.
Opposition leaders have criticised Mr Harper for drawing Canada into a war with unclear objectives.
The move means Canada will be the first Nato country, other than the United States, to strike inside Syria.
IS controls land on both sides of the Iraq-Syria border - and the US expanded its air strike campaign against the militant group into Syria in September.
It has been joined in similar strikes by Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.
The Canadian prime minister announced the change as he asked for a vote on the measure in the House of Commons on Tuesday.
"The government recognises that ISIL's power base, indeed the so-called caliphate's capital, is in Syria," Mr Harper said, adding fighters and heavy equipment were moving across the border from Iraq for protection against strikes.
Mr Harper said Canada would not seek the "express consent" of the Assad government.
"Instead, we will work closely with our American and other allies, who have already been carrying out such operations against ISIL over Syria in recent months."
The measure is expected to pass as Mr Harper's Conservative Party controls the House of Commons.
The major opposition parties voted against the initial approval of military force against IS.
New Democrat Party leader Tom Mulcair told the Commons on Tuesday Canada had "no place in this war", while Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said Mr Harper had been "steadily drawing Canada deeper into a war in Iraq".
"It now wants to expand that war into Syria," Mr Trudeau said.
Opposition leaders also questioned the mission of Canadian special forces soldiers sent to work with Kurdish peshmerga fighters.
The soldiers have been helping the Kurdish forces by directing coalition airstrikes against Islamic State fighters.
Canadian soldiers are near the front lines and have been involved in at least two firefights - but defence officials have said soldiers acted in self-defence in those cases.
One soldier was also killed by Kurdish fighters in a friendly-fire incident this month.
As a result the mission has become more controversial in Canada. Mr Mulcair accused Mr Harper on Tuesday of misleading Canadians "from the start".
Mr Harper had said he will provide details about extending and expanding the mission this week. It was due to expire in April.
In addition to assistance to Kurdish forces, Canada has provided six CF-18 fighter planes, as well as surveillance and refuelling aircraft and about 600 personnel to the US-led mission.
The app will show a selection of prioritised tweets, based on what it thinks users are "most likely to care about", ahead of the normal list of posts shown in reverse chronological order.
And a new First View feature will let marketers place a video ad high up in the feeds.
The announcements came ahead of the company's latest financial results.
They are designed to make users more engaged with the platform and appeal to advertisers.
But one expert said the extra prominence Twitter was giving to video ads might backfire.
"The reason why Facebook has been so successful of late is that it has been able to put sponsored posts and videos into people's feeds," commented Richard Holway, chairman of the TechMarketView consultancy.
"But Twitter is a different affair as people typically spend a much shorter time looking at each post, and putting intrusive videos at the top of their feeds, making it more cluttered, is going to upset a lot of people."
Unlike normal ads on the platform - which algorithms target at specific users - a First View video will be shown to everyone within a region or country who uses Twitter over a 24-hour period.
That makes it a potentially more effective way to build mass awareness of a product over a short period of time.
But another company watcher also expressed doubts about the idea based on the examples Twitter had posted online.
"The whole point of in-feed ads is that they should seamlessly roll through and not interrupt your experience," said Sarah Vizard, Marketing Week's news editor.
"Brands will love [First View] as it sits across the top of the page and everyone will see it, but for the users themselves, they will think: 'It takes over most of the feed. I came here to see what the people I follow are posting and to find information, and to get to that I now have to clear the ad.'"
Twitter is due to post its full year's earnings after the US markets close.
The loss-making firm's shares are trading about 69% lower than where they were a year ago, partly because of concerns that its number of users is not growing fast enough.
Last month the Recode news site reported that the service had cut the number of ads being shown to some of its most active users as part of an effort to keep them engaged.
More recently, the hashtag #RIPTwitter began trending on the service after Buzzfeed reported that the platform planned to change the order tweets were presented in.
The firm has since clarified that a toggle switch in its app's settings will allow the new function to be turned on and off.
If left selected, the "never miss important tweets" setting will affect up to the first 60 tweets shown at the top of a timeline.
If the user pulls to refresh the feed, it will return to its normal reverse-chronological ordered state.
Twitter said that users would see an on-screen prompt to alert them to the feature the first time they encountered it.
"No matter how much time you spend on Twitter, you probably feel like you've missed important tweets from accounts you follow," it said.
"We hear this from people every day. As a content consumer, the new Home timeline feature will help you catch up on tweets you don't want to miss from the people and topics you care about.
"As a content creator, it means your followers are more likely to see and engage with your best tweets. We've already noticed that people who have used this new feature tend to retweet and tweet more."
The firm's chief executive Jack Dorsey is expected to be quizzed about the expected impact of both the new changes during a conference call with analysts following its earnings announcement.
As voters go to the polls, the papers take the opportunity to give their opinions on the front pages.
However, the BBC - like other broadcasters - is restricted to reporting only factual accounts of the election in line with polling day rules.
With the election understandably hogging the headlines, it leaves an eclectic mix of other stories in the papers.

A small study presented at the European Society of Cardiology suggested patients with depression were more likely to die within a year.
Though many factors are likely to influence this - including the severity of the disease - researchers say managing depression is important.
And charities advise people to seek help through specialist nurses and GPs.
Prof John Cleland, chief investigator in the study, who works at both Imperial College London and the University of Hull, describes heart failure as a "modern epidemic" that affects 900,000 people across the UK.
But despite trying to find better drugs and improved procedures there is no cure, Prof Cleland told the BBC: "Being heart specialists we have focused on trying to find medicines, devices, and operations."
"They work but not as well as we would like. So we have decided to step back and look at the bigger picture," he added.
Heart failure can happen when the the muscle of the heart becomes too weak or too stiff, making it harder to pump blood around the body.
And as this becomes worse patients can feel very tired and short of breath.
As part of a continuing investigation, Prof Cleland's team asked 96 patients, who had been admitted to hospital with heart failure, a series of questions to assess whether they were depressed.
Those who showed signs of moderate or severe depression were more likely to have died in the 300 days that followed.
Though this link has been shown before, scientists generally thought this was down to people with depression suffering from a more severe form of the condition.
While the Hull scientists acknowledge this is likely to play a part, they say it is does not account for the full picture.
For example, while measuring NT-proBNP - a hormone that can be used to help monitor the severity of the disease - they found little difference between people who had severe depression and those who did not.
It is likely that other factors are important as well; some people with depression may not feel motivated to take their pills or seek help quickly, scientists suggest.
Researchers say these questions, and their early findings, need to be explored and evaluated in bigger studies.
Meanwhile Julie Ward at the British Heart Foundation, said: "We know depression is both a risk factor for heart disease and is often experienced by people who have had a major heart event."
"Every person with a long-term physical health condition, like heart disease, should be treated for both their physical and psychological symptoms equally.
"Talk to your GP or heart specialist nurse and discuss the options that could be available to you," she said.
Michael O'Neill's side lost to Luxembourg in September but dominated the first half in Baku.
However, Rufat Dadasov fired in and, though Martin Paterson hit a post, Mahir Shukorov scored a free-kick after Jonny Evans saw red for kicking out.
Full qualifying tables
The loss means Northern Ireland slip behind Azerbaijan to fifth in their World Cup qualifying group.
O'Neill opted for a new-look 3-5-2 formation as Northern Ireland attempted to bounce back from the humiliating 3-2 defeat by Luxembourg.
The visitors controlled the first half in the Bakcell Arena, but failed to secure a deserved lead.
Azerbaijan keeper Kamran Agayev kept out a powerful Chris Brunt strike before producing a superb reflex save with his feet from Jamie Ward's close-range header.
The hosts offered nothing in attack until midway through the half, when they squandered two good chances within three minutes.
Dadasov fired wide from 12 yards, before the unmarked Rauf Aliyev saw his back-post volley saved by an alert Roy Carroll.
Northern Ireland were soon back on top and Agayev denied Brunt again, while Ward's shot curled over the bar.
The best chance fell to Paterson on 38 minutes, with the striker put clear by Lee Hodson, only to drag his low shot wide.

Azerbaijan took command after the break and poor marking allowed Dadashov room to sweep the ball wide from eight yards.
Oliver Norwood's lunge at Aliyev resulted in a yellow card and a suspension for the final qualifier against Israel on Tuesday.
However, the big Kaiserslautern striker made no mistake in the 58th minute, slotting past Carroll from Aliyev's low cross for the opener.
Gareth McAuley's header found the roof of the net as Northern Ireland chased an equaliser, but the main goal threat was coming from their opponents.
A fluent move on 62 minutes ended with Aliyev's long-range strike, from a Dadasov lay-off, flying just over as a lethargic Northern Ireland failed to sustain any pressure on the home goal until the dying moments.
Steve Davis picked out Paterson with three minutes left and the Huddersfield forward's volley struck the woodwork before the ball was cleared.
In a nightmare finish for Northern Ireland, McAuley received a second yellow card of the qualifying campaign to be suspended for the Israel game along with Evans, who was shown a straight red card in injury time for kicking out at Aliyev.
With the last kick of the game, Shukurov curled the resulting 20-yard free-kick into the top corner.

In an open letter to ministers, they say injuries from this "high-impact collision sport" can have lifelong consequences for children.
They argue two thirds of injuries in youth rugby and most concussions are down to tackles and urge schools to move to touch and non-contact rugby.
Supporters say rugby builds character and other forms are less challenging.
The concerns have been raised as a seven-year programme headed by the Rugby Football Union is on target to introduce rugby to a million children in state schools across England.
The RFU's programme, which began in 2012 and is running until 2019, has so far reached 400 schools, with 350 to follow.
But, in their letter to ministers, chief medical officers and children's commissioners in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, doctors say the risks for players aged under 18 are high.
They say many secondary schools in the UK deliver contact rugby as a compulsory part of the physical education curriculum from the age of 11.
"The majority of all injuries occur during contact or collision, such as the tackle and the scrum," the letter says.
"These injuries, which include fractures, ligamentous tears, dislocated shoulders, spinal injuries and head injuries can have short-term, lifelong and life-ending consequences for children."
The doctors say concussion is a common injury, and they highlight a link between "repeat concussions and cognitive impairment and an association with depression, memory loss and diminished verbal abilities".
One of the signatories of the open letter is Prof Allyson Pollock, from Queen Mary University of London, who has long campaigned about the dangers of rugby.
She said evidence collected over 12 years showed rugby players up to the age of 18 or 19 had a 28% chance of getting injured over a season of 15 matches.
"If you're thinking of a million children playing every year with this risk of injury you're looking at 300,000 extra injuries a year, including up to 100,000 concussions," she said.
She added that 90% of injuries resulted in more than seven days lost from school.
There are various forms of touch or tag rugby, in which tackles are replaced by touching a player or removing a tag from their clothing. Aspects of rugby such as scrums and rucks are also excluded from these forms of the game.
Jonny Cross, a PE teacher at Congleton High School in Cheshire - where rugby is compulsory from the age of 11 - says the sport provides a challenge.
Mr Cross says children wear gum-shields and are taught how to maintain the proper posture in scrums to avoid injury, a technique known as "tower of power".
"Contact rugby helps build character. They are putting their body on the line in a match. The risk factor is part of it," he says.
"They enjoy the contact element. There is a 'boy factor' - it's partly about developing masculinity. They would be more likely to be bored by touch rugby.
"I would say that some students need it. It provides a challenge, where challenge is being taken out of everyday life."
Parents and pupils on tackling in rugby
The RFU and the Welsh Rugby Union both said they took player safety "extremely seriously" but that rugby was a "fantastic sport for children" which offered many benefits for society.
The Scottish Rugby Union said it was "committed to player welfare at every level of the game" but pointed out that every sport carried "an element of risk".
South African schools allow tackling, as do schools in Australia - although there has been a recent push to make children wear protective headgear, but this is not compulsory.
In New Zealand, tackling is permitted, but in some schools it is banned in lunchtime games that are not being supervised.
Former England rugby player Matt Perry said: "I took a risk when I started rugby at seven and I'm afraid at school level if that tackle is taken out we've lost one of the great games and one of the great cultural games."
Former England international Brian Moore dismissed the evidence in the letter as "flawed" and "partial".
Obesity would kill more children than rugby, he said.
"If you want to ban things, you've got to do it on the right basis."
The Association for Physical Education said contact versions of the game should be introduced and managed only by "suitably experienced staff" following recognised guidelines.
"Parents should be aware of what sports are taught in the schools they choose to send their children to - if rugby is taught, then parents send their children to the school in the knowledge that they are likely to be asked to play rugby at some level," it added.
A spokesman for the Department for Education in England said: "Team sports, such as rugby, play an important role in developing character.
"We expect schools to be aware of the risks associated with sporting activities and to provide a safe environment for pupils."
The 16-time world champion, 56, raced into a 8-3 lead and held off a brief fightback from Scotland's Wright to reach the fourth interval 13-7 up.
Taylor then won four straight legs, with Wright taking one in consolation before the Englishman sealed victory.
"This has capped everything off for me," Taylor told Sky Sports.
The former world number one is set to stop touring after the 2018 World Championship, which ends in January.
"This couldn't have come at a better time - it's a bonus for me," added Taylor.
"I'm done now, my back is in half, my legs are killing me - I'm doing everything I can to prolong my career so to win a major now at my age is fantastic."
Taylor averaged 104.24 in a vintage performance in front of a partisan crowd at the Winter Gardens.
After losing in the second round of the inaugural World Matchplay in 1994, Taylor has now won 16 of the 23 subsequent tournaments.
Compatriot Rod Harrington and Dutchman Michael van Gerwen are the only other players to win multiple World Matchplay titles, with two each.
"I'll miss this place tremendously - I've loved it since I first walked through the door," said Taylor.
In victory, Taylor made seven 180 maximums in the final and hit 56% of checkouts as Wright struggled to hit doubles early on.
It capped a fine run in this year's tournament, with Taylor easing past two-time defending champion Van Gerwen and two-time world champion Adrian Lewis en route to the final.
Andy's condition means he can never be left alone - and Jack has helped care for him since he was tiny.
Jack's local council provides support but research for the Children's Commissioner for England suggests that the vast majority of young carers are "off the radar".
This is "absolutely unacceptable", according to the Commissioner, Anne Longfield.
Andy has a deteriorating genetic condition which has forced him to use a wheelchair for the past four years.
Even going to the bathroom can put him at risk of a fall.
Jack stands in for his mother, Ruth, who is the primary carer, if she ever needs to go out.
"It's a matter of someone being here all the time. I rely heavily on Jack," explains Ruth.
Jack administers Andy's medication, prepares food and drink, helps him move around the flat and pushes his wheelchair when they go out.
He and his father have a very close relationship - but both parents fear their son has "missed out on a normal upbringing".
For the past year Jack has been part of a young carers project run by Hounslow Council in west London which provides crucial support.
"I go there after school sometimes. It's like a respite. You can go there and relax and talk to people who are in the same position as you," says Jack.
Local councils have a statutory duty to assess the needs of young carers, but many do not get the help they need, the study suggests.
The researchers asked every local authority in England for the numbers of young carers they support.
Of England's 153 local authorities, 118 provided data, revealing that they are supporting 28,000 young carers aged between five and 17.
But these figures are massively short of the 166,000 young carers identified in England by the 2011 Census.
Having adjusted the figures to account for not receiving data from 35 councils, the researchers calculate a shortfall of almost 133,000 or 80% of young carers.
"Not all children with caring responsibilities will need support from their council but it is vital that those who do are properly assessed and the right help put in place," said Ms Longfield.
"This report poses significant questions for local authorities about how they identify, assess and support young carers.
"It is absolutely unacceptable to have so many children with considerable caring responsibilities going under the radar, invisible to the authorities and denied the opportunities available to other children."
The Local Government Association said councils across England were working hard to ensure that young carers are properly supported - but said this was "proving increasingly difficult", given funding cuts and rising pressure on children's services overall.
"The limited funding available has to be carefully targeted at those children and young people who are in the greatest need [and] unfortunately, this means that councils are forced to make increasingly difficult decisions," said Richard Watts, chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board.
"However, it is important to be clear that young carers who aren't receiving support are not 'invisible' to authorities; all young carers should receive an assessment to establish whether support is needed, with new assessments undertaken if their circumstances change," said Mr Watts.
A Department for Education spokesperson said: "Young carers are this country's unsung heroes, selflessly providing support for the people they love, but their own needs can often be overlooked.
"That's why we changed the law to make sure young carers are identified and supported as early as possible, and councils are responsible for delivering this.
"Next year we will be publishing a strategy looking at the issues affecting these children and what more can be done to give them the help they need."
The firm, whose brands include Scalextric, Airfix and Corgi, said it would reduce the number of individual product lines by 40%, but said it would keep its most well-known toys.
It plans to raise £8m via a share placing to fund the restructuring.
The plans come after the firm reported a £13.5m loss in what it said was a "difficult and disappointing year".
The model trainmaker reported a £200,000 pre-tax loss for the 2015 financial year.
Chairman Roger Canham blamed the poor performance on the implementation of a new software system and supply chain issues due to the reorganisation of its European business.
Revenue for the year fell 4% to £55.8m, but the firm said it had continued to retain its core hobby customers.
Mr Canham said the overhaul of the firm's structure would result in a "smaller, more focused business" focused on its core UK brands, but warned that revenues were expected to fall by about a quarter as a result.
"I expect to see the impact of the plan from early 2017," he added.
Even after the overhaul, the firm said it would still have about 1,400 product lines.
And Mr Canham noted that just half of the firm's toys currently generated almost all of its profit.
The turnaround is being led by new chief executive Steve Cooke. Mr Cooke took the helm in April after previous boss Richard Ames stood down in February, just a week after the toymaker announced its second profit warning in a matter of months.
"The turnaround plan is intended to return the business to sustainable profitability and cash generation," said Mr Cooke.
The Kent-based company's roots go back to 1901, when founder Frank Hornby applied for a patent to protect an invention he called "improvements in toy or educational devices for children and young people".
The firm's first toy was construction system Meccano, before it went on to its famous model trains and then gradually expanded to own a host of other brands including Airfix, Scalextric and Corgi.
Its recent struggles have led to suggestions the toymaker has lost its relevance in an era dominated by computer games.
However, Mr Canham said that sales had been strong in the key Christmas season and since it had sorted out its supply chain issues, the business was now in an improved position.
But for her fellow fighters, Asia Ramazan Antar's portrayal in the press and social media came as both a surprise and disappointment.
The 19-year-old, from the Syrian Kurdish city of Qamishli, was killed by Islamic State (IS) militants in northern Syria last month.
Focusing their stories on her looks, some Western media said she was known as the "Angelina Jolie of Kurdistan" after the glamorous Hollywood actress.
Some compatriots have decried these comparisons as sexism and objectification.
The Kurdish Women's Protection Units (YPJ), to which Asia Ramazan Antar belonged, say their philosophy is simplicity and modesty.
No-one is judged based on his or her appearance, shape or size. Individuals, they say, make personal sacrifices for the collective good.
Last year, despite resistance from conservative religious groups, female fighters pushed Syrian Kurdistan to pass progressive laws that make violence against women, forced marriage and polygamy illegal. An all-women police unit was created to implement the law.
For the Kurdish media in Syrian Kurdistan (know to Kurds as Rojava) where she fought and died, Asia Ramazan Antar was simply another fighter who lost her life battling IS.
Asia Ramazan Antar joined the YPG in 2015, adopting the nom de guerre Viyan Antar.
After completing her military training, she went to the frontline to fight IS militants.
Asia Ramazan Antar took part in five battles before she was killed around Manbij near the Turkish border on 30 August.
She was a team leader and machine-gunner. Over the past two years, six of her cousins and uncles were also killed in the fight against IS.
Just like Asia Ramazan Antar, hundreds of other Kurdish fighters have been killed. Most of them were young, in their late teens and early 20s - but none garnered the kind of publicity showered on Viyan.
Choman Kanaani is one of the Kurdish fighters dismayed by Asia Ramazan Antar's treatment by the Western media.
He is in charge of rebuilding Kobane, the Kurdish city occupied by IS and extensively destroyed in 2014-2015 before Kurdish forces drove the jihadists out.
Mr Kanaani lost many of his fellow fighters, both men and women.
"The entire philosophy of YPJ is to fight sexism and prevent using women as a sexual object," he said.
"We want to give women their rightful place in society and for them to own their own destinies. Viyan died for these ideals. In the media, no-one talked about the ideals for which she gave her life, nor what Viyan achieved for women in Rojava in the past four years."
Agrin Senna is a YPJ commander who lost one of her legs in the battle to liberate Manbij. She also lost many of her friends.
She urged people to look at images of her fellow fighters who had died and had refused to live under IS's particular form of Sharia, or Islamic law.
"Look at their pictures, they are all angels, all beautiful, you can't pick one just because she looks like a Hollywood actress, Angelina Jolie or Julia Roberts.
"They have nothing in common with them. They prefer to die rather than live under one of the most anti-women groups in the world."

The comments by deputy crown prince Mohammed bin Salman are seen as a challenge to Iran.
It has vowed to increase oil production following the lifting of Western sanctions.
In the Bloomberg interview, the prince also spoke about his plan for a giant public investment fund.
Worth more than $2 trillion, it would be designed to reduce Saudi Arabia's reliance on income from oil.
Part of the plan would be a sale of shares in the state-owned oil firm Aramco, which could start as soon as next year, according to the interview.
Iran will not take part in a conference in Doha on 17 April, where the freezing of oil output is due to be discussed.
"If all countries agree to freeze production, we will be among them," the prince told Bloomberg.
When asked whether Iran needed to be among those countries he said "without doubt".
Oil prices, which had edged into positive territory, fell after the Prince's comments.
Brent crude fell $1.63 cents, or 4%, to $38.70 a barrel. Prices rose 6% in the first three months of this year - the first quarterly increase since a 15% rally between April and June 2015.
PVM Oil Associates analyst Tamas Varga said there had been high hopes about the impact of a possible production freeze, but he added: "It is hard to see how sticking to the January output level would be supportive for oil prices. There will be no rebalancing this year."
Shailaja Nair, of energy information provider, said the market was still oversupplied with crude and there was no possibility of demand increasing in the short term.
"Considering the amount of crude already in the market, a freeze is not going to make much of a difference," she said.
A monthly survey by Reuters this week showed that oil output from the 13 Opec members rose in March on higher production from Iran and near-record exports from southern Iraq.
Iraq reported Opec's biggest supply growth last year, producing more than four million barrels per day - making it the cartel's second-largest producer after Saudi Arabia.
In February, Saudi Arabia and Russia said they would freeze oil output at January levels if other producers followed suit.
Oil prices have plunged from their recent peak of $116 in June 2014 because of oversupply and sluggish demand.

But now a new campaign is hoping to tackle part of the problem.
Watch Ricky's report.
Drivers would get no dashboard warning that the doors of their car had been unlocked, the firm said.
The glitch affects Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles sold between 2013 and now.
In a statement, Land Rover said no accidents or injuries were reported to have occurred as a result of the bug.
Range Rover owners would not have to pay for the modifications to be made, it added.
Adverts have been placed in newspapers informing owners about the recall and the "unlatching" issue.
Land Rover said the recall was not related to widely-reported problems with keyless ignition and locking systems on some luxury cars that had made them favourites with car thieves.
Last year car thieves were found to be targeting some models of Range Rovers and BMW X5s because they found it easy to unlock the vehicles.
It is believed that a handheld "black box" was being used by some gangs to unlock and start cars that had keyless ignition systems.
Some newspapers reported that insurers were unwilling to extend cover to Range Rover owners unless they could park in secure, off-street car parks. Other insurance firms insisted on the use of tracking systems that could help find a car if it was stolen.
"It's been known for over a year that keyless entry and ignition systems possess certain vulnerabilities," said a spokesman for Thatcham Research which gathers data on car crime.
"There were a number of vehicles suggested as being vulnerable in this way, Range Rovers being one of them," he said.
Other cars targeted include Ford Focus and Fiestas, Audis and some light commercial vehicles.
"That was all to do with keyless entry systems and vulnerabilities through the onboard diagnostic port," he said.
A thief who got access to a car could plug a device into that port that helped to re-program a blank key so it could be used to start the car, he said. Cars were being stolen to order or were being broken up for cheap spares.
"All the manufacturers have been working hard to find a solution to this and are well on the way to introducing preventative measures," he said.
A television was also taken in the burglary in Cuxton Road, Strood, between 0630 and 1830 GMT on Tuesday.
Officers said the owner had been temporarily living in the caravan, which is next to his house.
Det Sgt Adam Marshall urged anyone who had the rifles to hand them into police, saying they were "extremely dangerous" if not handled correctly.
He joined the Cherry and Whites from Clifton Rugby and earned his first professional deal in January 2015.
The 25-year-old is a former Australia Under-20 and sevens international.
"I'll always be grateful to the club for giving me the chance to show what I could do at this level," he told the club website.
"The chance to play Super Rugby is a fantastic one, one that I couldn't refuse and huge thanks to Gloucester for letting me pursue this. I'll be sad to go, but Gloucester and Kingsholm will always be special to me."
It has not been revealed which team that Meakes will be joining.
The bleaching - or loss of algae - affects a 1,500km (900 miles) stretch of the reef, according to scientists.
The latest damage is concentrated in the middle section, whereas last year's bleaching hit mainly the north.
Experts fear the proximity of the two events will give damaged coral little chance to recover.
Prof Terry Hughes, from James Cook University, said governments must urgently address climate change to prevent further bleaching.
"Since 1998, we have seen four of these events and the gap between them has varied substantially, but this is the shortest gap we have seen," Prof Hughes told the BBC.
"The sooner we take action on global greenhouse gas emissions and transition away from fossil fuels to renewables, the better."
Almost 800 coral reefs across 8,000km were assessed by the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies.
The findings showed only the southern section was relatively unscathed.
Researcher Dr James Kerry said the damage was unprecedented.
"The central third this year, I would say, was as severe in terms of bleaching as what we saw as the northern third last year," he told the BBC.
"For those reefs that were hit two years in a row, it is effectively a double whammy. They have had no chance to recover from last year's events."
The latest damage happened without the assistance of El Niño, a weather pattern previously associated with bleaching events.
The reef - a vast collection of thousands of smaller coral reefs stretching from the northern tip of Queensland to the state's southern city of Bundaberg - was given World Heritage status in 1981.
The UN says it is the "most biodiverse" of all the World Heritage sites, and of "enormous scientific and intrinsic importance".
Nichols Canyon shocked odds-on favourite Unowhatimeanharry to win the Stayers' Hurdle, after Yorkhill won the JLT Chase and Un De Sceaux landed the Ryanair Chase.
Walsh completed the first Cheltenham four-timer for a jockey on Let's Dance.
He now boasts a record 56 Cheltenham Festival wins.
Irish-trained horses won six of the day's seven races, with the four wins for Walsh and Mullins coming in at combined odds of 179-1 which cost bookmakers an estimated £10m.
Mullins and Walsh came into Thursday without a win to their names at this year's Festival but started the day with victory thanks to the 6-4 favourite Yorkhill in the Novices' Chase, before Un De Sceaux won in thrilling style in the Ryanair Chase.
Success there will have been sweet for Mullins, who saw Ryanair owner Michael O'Leary remove 60 horses from his stables last September.
Jockey Noel Fehily was looking for a big-race treble on Unowhatimeanharry after winning the Champion Hurdle on Tuesday and Wednesday's Champion Chase, but despite being well placed coming off the penultimate fence had no answer to 10-1 shot Nichols Canyon's kick for the line.
If Wednesday will live long in the memories of Walsh and Mullins for the wrong reasons after Douvan's shock defeat in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, Thursday was a swift and spectacular return to form.
Yorkhill won by a length in the day's opener before Walsh let Un De Sceaux go ahead after just five fences of the Ryanair - and he never looked back.
Walsh admitted he "was just a passenger" as Un De Sceaux powered to victory to give Mullins his 50th Cheltenham win as trainer.
And after Nichols Canyon stayed well placed throughout the second half of the Stayers' Hurdle, Walsh rode him home to deny Lil Rockerfeller victory.
Mullins said: "I wouldn't like to tell you what was going through my mind on Wednesday night, but on the other side of that coin, when we analysed all the runners, apart from Douvan we didn't have any other runner that should have won.
"People expect us to have winners here, we just hope to have winners here and have huge respect for the place."
Walsh added: "What a day. The horses ran well the first two days, they just weren't winning.
"Everything can't go your way all the time and you have to prepare for that.
"It's been a tough year for Willie but he's taken it great. I've worked for him since I was 17 so could eulogise about him all day.
"In previous years we were front-loaded and this year we were back-loaded. We knew we had great chances today and we think we have a couple on Friday."
With Presenting Percy a fine winner in the Handicap Hurdle for Davy Russell and Patrick Kelly, the Festival was set for a day of all-Irish winners with three races remaining.
And Road to Respect made it five out of five for Ireland with a win in the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate Handicap Chase.
A sixth Irish win - and a fourth for Walsh - was sealed as Let's Dance comfortably came away to win the Mares' Novices' Hurdle.
An Irish clean sweep - or 'green sweep' - was prevented when Gina Andrews steered Domesday Book to a surprise 40-1 win in the day's final race, the Kim Muir Challenge Cup.
Two horses had to be put down after suffering injuries - Toe The Line after a fall on the flat in the early stages of the penultimate race, and Hadrian's Approach who fell in the final contest.
Cornelius Lysaght, BBC horse racing correspondent
I said the other day that a successful Cheltenham Festival for Willie Mullins and team after a tumultuous season would read like a movie plot.
Even more so now after they bounced back from the gloom with a sparkling third afternoon here.
To these eyes, the highlight was Un De Sceaux's win, as breathtaking as Douvan's day-two defeat was surprising, though only just ahead of the masterful rides given by Walsh on, particularly, I thought, Let's Dance.
Let's Dance, quiet as a mouse at the back until scything through her opponents, was a joy to watch.
Cue Card will bid to make amends for a late fall last year when he lines up for the Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday.
The popular steeplechaser, under the guidance of trainer Colin Tizzard, will have stablemate Native River among his rivals.
A strong Irish challenge includes the two-time runner-up Djakadam who bids to secure a first win for trainer Willie Mullins.
Emergency services were called to areas around Pen y Fan in the national park at midday on Sunday.
Two individuals were airlifted to hospital in Merthyr Tydfil with what were described initially as life-threatening injuries.
Two others are also being treated - one at a specialist burns unit in Swansea.
A spokesman for Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr confirmed on Sunday evening that two of those taken to the hospital had died.
Another individual remains at the hospital, while a fourth person has been transferred to Morriston Hospital in Swansea with burns injuries.
It is understood that the pair taken from the 2,600ft (800m) Cribyn peak in the Beacons included a man in his 50s.
Another of those injured was on Corn Du, south-west of Pen y Fan.
Huw Jones, spokesman for Central Beacons Mountain Rescue, said: "Our prime concern was to get equipment and personnel up on the tops. So I left with the first party from here - taking medical equipment, a defibrillator just in case.
"And just as we were getting up onto the summit, a call came through that there was another casualty on one of the other summits."
He added: "Through the morning, the clouds built up. And off the back of the hot and humid weather that we've had over the last few days, the weather front moving through triggered off the thunder and the lightning.
"And of course, in a mountainous environment, if there's lightning around, the lightning is going to aim for the highest points."
Mark Jones, another of the mountain rescue team members taking part in the exercise, said: "I've been in Brecon Mountain Rescue for 30 years and I've never known anything like this.
"It is exceptionally unusual, and for multiple people to be hit in multiple strikes on different peaks - it is very, very rare."
He continued: "It was very, very loud. We decided to end the exercise - and then the call came in about the lightning strikes."
He said because they were already on the hills, they were able to reach one of the casualties on Corn Du within about 25 minutes.
An RAF Sea King from Chivenor was sent to aid two casualties on Cribyn.
A doctor from the Brecon rescue team then accompanied the two from Cribyn as they were evacuated to hospital by air.
Three other mountain rescue teams - Longtown, Central Beacons and Western Beacons - were also called out. | Former Welsh Secretary David Jones will lead the Welsh arm of the Vote Leave campaign for the EU referendum.

Mohammed Ali Ahmed and Zakaria Boufassil are both charged with funding terrorism on or before 7 July 2015.
Mr Ahmed and Soumaya Boufassil are separately charged with preparation of acts of terrorism between January 2015 and this month.
The three, from Small Heath, are due before magistrates in London on Friday.
West Midlands Police said they were among five people arrested in Birmingham on 14 April and at Gatwick Airport the next day.
A third man, Fazal Sajjad Younis Khan, 40, also from Small Heath, has been charged with possession of CS spray, police said.
He has been released on bail to appear before Birmingham magistrates on 13 May.
A 59-year-old man remains on bail while the investigation continues, police added.
The man's attacker is believed to have used a sharp weapon in the assault which took place on the town's Caldon Road at about 19:15 on Thursday.
The victim was taken to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock but has since been released.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
DC Ainsley Sweeney, from Saltcoats CID, said: "At this point it is unclear how the victim came about his injuries and inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances.
"It appears that he was injured with some sort of sharp implement during an altercation, however it is important that any witnesses come forward to assist with the investigation."
ScotRail said five platforms at the station had been affected by the problem, which was reported at 07:00.
Many local services, as well as those bound for Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Inverness, were disrupted.
Some services had returned by midday but passengers have been warned to expect ongoing delays.
A spokeswoman for ScotRail said: "There are overhead wire problems which are affecting access to five platforms. Engineers are on site to diagnose and repair. It's not possible to say how long disruption to services will last."
She added: "Customers should retain their tickets as the nature of this disruption means they may be entitled to compensation through our Delay Repay scheme."
The electrical issue affected platforms 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 at Glasgow Central and caused cancellations on the Cathcart Circle, Newton, Neilston and Kilmarnock lines.
At the height of the disruption, high-level trains to dozens of stations in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire and Ayrshire were affected.
ScotRail arranged for train tickets to be used on local FirstBus services to these stations and replacement buses were brought in from Perth and Stirling.
By midday, ScotRail said that engineers were still working to repair damage to overhead electric wires at Glasgow Central Station.
Services on the Cathcart Circle, to Glasgow's south side, remained suspended.
Trains between Glasgow and Lanark, via Motherwell, were running as were services to Neilston, Barrhead and Kilmarnock.
The Glasgow to Edinburgh via Shotts service was also running with delays and alterations expected.
ScotRail said other routes were also operating but warned that "short notice alterations/delays" were possible.
Passengers are urged to check their journey details on the ScotRail website.
Sometimes, however, it is essential.
Chris Coleman says he and his Wales side will be driven by "desperation" when they face the Republic of Ireland on Friday - a desperation to succeed but, more specifically, a desperation to repeat the success of their recent past.
Absent from major tournaments for 58 years, qualifying for Euro 2016 - and then reaching the semi-finals - gave Wales a taste of what they had craved for generations.
And as they prepare for Friday's crucial World Cup qualifier in Dublin with their hopes of getting to next year's competition in Russia in the balance, it is a taste they are desperate to sample again.
For Coleman, that feeling is particularly acute, as he has said this will be his final campaign in charge.
He cannot bear to think about a future when he will no longer lead his country and, for him to step aside satisfied with his legacy, he must replicate the sensation he felt in France last summer.
"I do think about Russia. Just because we went to France, it doesn't mean Russia is less important," he said.
"If you see the film [Don't Take Me Home, the Wales Euro 2016 documentary], it gives you a taste for it again. You want to be back in that environment so I'm desperate to do it again. Desperate. It's the only word I can use.
"I'm desperate to go back, be in the middle of that type of pressure. I can't describe to you how that felt. I absolutely want that again. I do. That's all I think about."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Coleman and his players have openly admitted how difficult they found the aftermath of Euro 2016, plunged into an emotional comedown after the searing highs of France.
They re-watched goals and games, text messaged each other occasionally - all to try and reproduce the magic of that summer.
That is the aim of this World Cup qualifying campaign but, with four points separating Group D leaders Ireland and third-placed Wales, Coleman's men travel to Dublin in need of victory.
Coleman has previously said he would consider his position if Wales were out of contention after five games.
With four matches gone, however, he is putting that discussion to one side.
"I think until it's mathematically impossible, I'll always, and we've always, got to look at it and go: 'We've got a chance'," the 46-year-old adds.
"So unless we can't finish top and we can't finish second, if that happens, then I'll see how I feel and Wales will see how they feel, I imagine, because it is my last campaign."
Wales' match against the Republic of Ireland has the ingredients of a titanic battle - a big and noisy crowd, two teams familiar with each other from countless Premier League skirmishes, and the significance of precious qualifying points to play for.
There are echoes of Wales' Euro 2016 group meeting with England - their only defeat in France before losing to Portugal in the semi-finals - and Coleman hopes his team will have learned from their mistakes in Lens.
"We went 1-0 up and then we wished our life away, rather than just enjoying those moments," he explains.
"It's the same for the Republic of Ireland - 50,000 people in the Aviva Stadium, they're top, everyone is billing it as a must-win game for us. But the game will come and go. It only lasts 90 minutes.
"The build-up beforehand goes on a lot longer than the game itself. I think you forget sometimes when you're in it that you've got to enjoy it, the players have got to enjoy it on the pitch, and they'll do that if they do what they're good at.
"We can't miss the game - we did that I think against England. We were disappointed after the England game because it was a British derby and there was so much surrounding it, and we got sucked into that."

Coleman admits he was crestfallen after the England game, so much so, he broke one of his own rules.
"It was a dry camp, we were together seven weeks. No alcohol - staff or players. But I had a double whiskey by myself, a sneaky one out on the balcony," he confides.
"As a manager you have to look at yourself and I thought I was preaching all the time, don't get sucked into this game to England.
"So I was devastated, not because it was England, but we are at a tournament, it is the second game, we had a point in the bag and with four points we were going through really. But we let it slip.
"I was absolutely gutted."

Coleman hopes it will be a different story this time.
"It's all about us, not worrying about ifs and buts and what happens if we don't do this," he says.
"It's all about preparation, sticking to our game plan - if the players stick to that and we lose it's my fault. Nine times out of 10 our boys have produced.
"We've just got to go into this game not worrying about the outcome. Enjoy it. Meet it. Let's have a right go. It's going to be a great atmosphere."
The couple, codenamed Andreas and Heidrun Anschlag, are said to have settled in former West Germany on false passports some 25 years ago.
A court in Stuttgart gave Andreas Anschlag six years and six months, and Heidrun five years and six months.
They were arrested at their home in the western town of Marburg, in October 2011. They had assisted a Dutch spy.
Police think the couple's names, used in their Austrian passports, were false. They are believed to be Russian and in their early to mid-50s.
They had acted as a conduit for a Dutch foreign ministry official with access to Nato secrets. He was unmasked and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
His arrest led to the couple, who had transmitted secrets to Russia's foreign intelligence service, the SVR.
The BBC's Stephen Evans in Berlin reports that their daughter was born and raised in Germany and knew nothing of their activities - nor of their true identities before they became spies.
At the time of their arrest, prosecutors allege, Mrs Anschlag was sitting in her study in front of a wireless transmitter that was receiving encoded messages on a shortwave frequency and was hooked up by cable to a computer.
Prosecutors say they posed as Austrian citizens of South American origin after arriving in Germany in 1988 and 1990.
Sunday's match between Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys is the third NFL match at Wembley this year.
"I don't really think you could expect me to say 'excellent, delighted, well done'," said Hodgson.
"If I was asked if it was a good thing or not, I would have to say not."
Hodgson, who gave West Brom striker Saido Berahino a first senior international call-up on Thursday, added: "I can't pretend it is something that makes me leap for joy.
"The pitch, unfortunately, is not in the best of nick anyway, which we're all a bit unhappy with."
After regular complaints by Hodgson's predecessor Fabio Capello, the FA laid a new pitch at the venue four years ago.
The FA board sanctioned the NFL's partnership with Wembley, which is now in its eighth year and has three more games lined up for 2015.
One of those will take place on 4 October - just five days before England host Estonia in their last home Euro 2016 qualifier.
Before then, the venue will also be hosting two Rugby World Cup games - New Zealand v Argentina on 20 September and Ireland v Romania a week later, as well as the Rugby League Challenge Cup final in August.
"It is a decision Wembley has made and I know the ground staff will work very, very hard to give us the best pitch they can give us," said 67-year-old Hodgson, who hopes Club England managing director Adrian Bevington will report to the FA board on the matter.
"Hopefully in the future the pitch will recover to its normal level and when it has done that we will be better able to support this type of activity," he added.
England have won their first three qualifiers and will go six points clear at the top of Group E with victory over Slovenia on 15 November.
In an interview with Germany's ARD TV channel, the former NSA contractor said the agency would spy on big German companies that competed with US firms.
Mr Snowden, who was granted temporary asylum by Russia, also said he believed that US officials wanted to kill him.
His leaks caused outrage in Germany when it came to light Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone had been bugged.
After the row broke out last year, Mrs Merkel accused the US of an unacceptable breach of trust.
Last week President Barack Obama indicated to Germany's ZDF TV that US bugging of Mrs Merkel's mobile phone had been a mistake and would not happen again.

How the US spy scandal unravelled
Profile: Edward Snowden
Mr Snowden's new allegation about industrial spying may make it harder to rebuild trans-Atlantic trust, the BBC's Stephen Evans reports from Berlin.
Referring to the German engineering company Siemens, Mr Snowden told ARD: "If there is information at Siemens that they [the NSA] think would be beneficial to the national interests, not the national security, of the United States, they will go after that information and they'll take it."
He also said he believed US agents want to kill him, referring to an article published by the Buzzfeed website in which intelligence operatives are quoted as saying they want to see him dead.
In August Russia granted Mr Snowden asylum for one year, after he leaked details of US electronic surveillance programmes.
The US has charged Mr Snowden with theft of government property, unauthorised communication of national defence information and wilful communication of classified communications intelligence.
Each of the charges carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence. Earlier this week he said he has "no chance" of a fair trial in the US and has no plans to return there.
The ex-Barcelona goalkeeper, 49, who won one international cap for Spain in 1994, has also coached the nation's Under-19, Under-20 and Under-21 teams.
He was dismissed by Porto in January and had been linked with English Championship side Wolves, who have been bought by a Chinese group for £45m.
Lopetegui replaces Vicente del Bosque, 65, who announced last year that he would retire after Euro 2016.
Del Bosque took charge of the Spain national side in 2008 and guided them to victory at both the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championship.
He offered to resign after Spain's exit at the group stage of the 2014 World Cup, but was convinced to stay.
At Euro 2016, Spain reached the last 16, but were eliminated at that stage as they lost 2-0 to Italy.
Four soldiers belonging to the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) were killed by a bomb in southern Afghanistan, Nato said.
Another US soldier died in a separate attack also in the south of the country.
It comes a day after three US soldiers and five Afghan civilians died in a suicide attack in Kandahar province.
The latest deaths came as a major manhunt was under way in Helmand province for the rogue Afghan soldier who killed three British soldiers from the Royal Gurkha Rifles on Tuesday.
A British Royal Marine was also killed on Tuesday in a separate incident in Helmand province.
So far in July, 45 international troops have died in Afghanistan, 33 of them from the US. June saw more than 100 international troops killed - the bloodiest month of the nine-year-old war.
"We are in the toughest part of this fight," Isaf spokesman Brig Gen Josef Blotz told reporters.
Late on Tuesday a suicide bomber detonated explosives at the gate of the headquarters of an elite Afghan police unit in Kandahar. Minutes later, insurgents opened fire with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades.
Three US soldiers, an Afghan policeman and five civilians died in the attack.
Isaf said that Afghan police backed by international forces fought back "and prevented insurgents from penetrating the compound perimeter".
The Taliban later admitted they were behind the attack.
Insurgents have stepped up attacks on government targets in Kandahar - the spiritual birthplace of the Taliban - as US reinforcements are poised for an expected Nato offensive in the city.
The three British soldiers who died on Tuesday were serving with 1st Battalion, The Royal Gurkha Rifles, in Nahr-e Saraj.
Nato said it was using every "asset" within its power to find the Afghan soldier responsible and those who may be helping him.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has vowed a full investigation into the shooting.
One of the three was shot and the other two were killed by a rocket-propelled grenade, the BBC understands.
On Wednesday, Afghan army spokesman Gen Ghulam Farook Parwani identified the rogue soldier as Talib Hussein, from the minority Hazara community which is usually opposed to the Taliban. He said the man's motive was still unclear.
Nato soldiers are increasingly fighting alongside their Afghan counterparts as the West tries to transfer responsibility for security ahead of a gradual withdrawal starting next year.
The Afghan interior ministry said another nine civilians were killed in Helmand province on Tuesday when the minivan they were travelling in was hit by a roadside bomb.
Bombs, known as improvised explosive devices (IEDs), are a common weapon of the Taliban.
Conor Bull, 19, from Stranraer, walked free from court in 2014 after judge Lord Burns decided not to jail him.
However, he was brought back to court after breaching the order imposed as a direct alternative to a jail sentence.
Lord Burns said there was now no option to a jail term and remanded him in custody with his sentence deferred.
Bull raped the schoolgirl in December 2013 and later boasted of what he had done to a friend.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that Bull - as part of the court order imposed on him - was told not to use mobile phones or access social media or have contact with girls under the age of 15.
Defence counsel Simon Gilbride told the court: "Mr Bull has admitted he had use of mobile phones and had access to social media.
"However, he disputes using Snapchat to regularly contact young girls."
The court heard that this was the second time Bull had breached the order.
He appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh on 15 July and admitted a breach of the order. Then on 28 July - less than two weeks after the court appearance - he again breached it.
Lord Burns said: "I said if there were a breach I would have no option, but a custodial sentence. I am bound to impose a custodial sentence."
He told Bull: "Conor Bull you have given me no option but to find you in breach. You accept you are in breach for the second time."
He also ordered a report to assess the risk he posed.
Bull was remanded in custody and sentence deferred until 2 November at the High Court in Aberdeen.
In 2014, Bull admitted the rape and Lord Burns placed him on a community payback order and told him to perform 101 hours unpaid work.
At the time Lord Burns said: "The public interest does not require a custodial sentence."
Fights with bricks and bottles broke out on 30 January as anti-immigration demonstrators and an anti-racism counter-protest met head-on.
Far-right marchers included the North West National Front, Combat 18 and the Scottish Defence League.
Counter-demonstrators included Kent Anti-Racism Network, Antifa and people with Socialist Worker placards.
In February, Kent Police released images of 16 people it wanted to speak to about alleged incidents.
Thirty-two people have been arrested and nine people charged so far, Kent Police has confirmed.
Detectives would like to hear from anyone who recognises those pictured.
Nadine Foster, 18, was in a Ford Focus when it hit a wall in Stourbridge, West Midlands, last April.
Dylan Stringer, 23, from Wychbury Road, Stourbridge, entered a guilty plea when he appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Wednesday. He will be sentenced at a later date.
Joseph Chance, 24, also from Stourbridge, is due to appear in court to face the same charge on 13 January.
The 38-year-old was arrested on Friday morning and has been changed with three human trafficking offences.
She is also charged with three counts of acting as an unlicensed gangmaster and one of money laundering by acquiring criminal property.
She is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates' Court on 3 September.
Zoltan Raffael, 39, was remanded in custody last week for the same investigation.
Real were utterly dominant throughout against their city rivals at the Bernabeu and led after 10 minutes when Ronaldo headed home Casemiro's cross.
It looked as if the hosts might fail to fully capitalise on their superiority - until Ronaldo let the ball bounce and smashed an unstoppable shot from 16 yards past Atletico keeper Jan Oblak, who had made several saves to keep his side in the tie.
And the Portugal forward ensured all the headlines would be his with a second consecutive Champions League hat-trick, having scored five goals in the quarter-final against Bayern Munich. It was his easiest goal of the night, as he controlled Lucas Vazquez's cross in plenty of space before firing home.
Atletico only had one shot on target and will need to pull off one of the Champions League's all-time special performances to stop double-chasing Real from ending their European dreams for the fourth straight season.
Ronaldo, the top scorer in the history of the Champions League with 103 goals, loves the big occasion. And occasions do not come much bigger.
He has now scored one more goal - 52 - in the knockout stages than he has in the group stages. He has now scored eight goals in his past three games in the competition, and is up to 13 Champions League semi-final goals.
At the age of 32, Ronaldo has reinvented himself as a striker, rather than the marauding wide player we watched cutting in and shooting for most of his career.
He was not heavily involved for large periods of the game, with only 50 touches of the ball compared with 123 for midfielder Toni Kroos. And he only had five shots - scoring with all of his efforts on target, his only three touches in the Atletico box.
Ronaldo was in an offside position when Sergio Ramos' cross came in for the first goal, but the ball never reached him, instead coming out to Casemiro, who crossed for the Portuguese to head home.
His second came when Karim Benzema held off Diego Godin, and Filipe Luis' follow-up clearance bounced up to Ronaldo, who lashed home.
And he surely wrapped the tie up when he added a third in the 86th minute.
No team has retained the Champions League since its rebranding in 1992, but Real - who were in the swashbuckling form we have seen for most of the season - are in a great position to do so.
Manager Zinedine Zidane, who led his side to last season's trophy with victory over Atletico in the final in his first six months in charge, is chasing a double - and their hopes of a first La Liga title since 2012 are in their hands.
Real - who have now scored in 59 consecutive games - had 17 shots against Atletico on Tuesday, with Benzema going close on several occasions, most notably with a bicycle kick that went just wide from Ronaldo's cross.
Raphael Varane almost scored with a header but was denied by a brilliant Oblak stop, while fellow defender Dani Carvajal, who went off injured at half-time, also forced a save from the Atletico keeper.
Such is the strength of Zidane's squad that Wales forward Gareth Bale, out with a calf injury, was not missed at all - with replacement Isco impressing.
And now, on the back of their first clean sheet in this year's tournament, they will surely fancy their chances against Juventus or Monaco in the Cardiff final on Saturday, 3 June.
Atletico have spent most of their history in the shadows of Real so it is of extreme irritation to them that one of their best periods has seen them regularly thwarted by their rivals.
This is the fourth year in a row the teams have met in the latter stages of the Champions League - with Real winning the 2014 and 2016 finals, and the 2015 quarter-final.
Atletico looked a shadow of the team Diego Simeone has turned into one of the most feared in the world. They only had 38% of the ball on Tuesday and, in the first half, misplaced 21.5% of their passes.
Atletico only managed four efforts on goal, with Diego Godin's easily saved header the only one on target.
Simeone, who led Atletico to the 2013 Spanish league title, now faces arguably the toughest test of his managerial career next week in the final European match at the Vicente Calderon before their move to a new stadium.
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone:
"We need to forget about this game.
"It seems impossible, but it is football and football has these unexpected things that make it marvellous.
"Until the last drip of hope is gone, we will give it everything we have."
Real boss Zinedine Zidane:
"Cristiano is a goalscorer. He is unique. All the players were brilliant.
"I am happy with what I am doing here and with the players, we played a great game. We can hurt any side with our weapons."
Real Madrid go to relegated Granada, managed by Tony Adams, on Saturday (19:45 BST kick-off) as they continue to chase the Spanish title. Atletico, who are in third place, host Eibar on the same day (15:15 BST).

Abubakar was head of protocol for the country's football federation.
Former Arsenal striker Nwankwo Kanu has described Abubakar's death as "bad and sad news" on social media.
Local media have reported that Abubakar is survived by his wife and three children. He will be buried in Kaduna in the north-west of the country.
The Super Eagles media officer Oluwatoyin Ibitoye said the killing was "shocking, devastating and tragic".
Nigeria play a warm-up match for the African Nations Championship against Angola in the South African city of Pretoria at on Wednesday.
The game will be behind closed doors at the request of the organisers.
Retired Egyptian police general Reda al-Hamamy accused the soldier who shot him of "using brute force with a poor young man".
The French authorities say his son Abdullah, 29, was shot when he attacked the soldiers, injuring one of them.
They say he shouted the Islamic phrase "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest").
A French police source said Abdullah Hamamy was no longer in a critical condition but was still unable to communicate and could not yet be questioned.
French officials have not confirmed the identity of the injured man but Egyptian security sources named him.
President Francois Hollande praised the soldiers' actions, saying they had "prevented an attack whose terrorist nature leaves little doubt".
The Louvre, which is home to numerous celebrated art works, including the Mona Lisa, reopened on Saturday.
The suspect arrived in France on 26 January after obtaining a tourist visa in Dubai, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said on Friday. He is believed to have bought two machetes after arriving.
Cans of spray paint, but no explosives, were found in his backpack, Mr Molins added.
The injured man's father told Reuters news agency his son had not been radicalised and that it was "nonsense" to call him a terrorist.
"This is a cover-up so they don't have to apologise or justify the acts of this soldier who used brute force with a poor young man of 29," he said, speaking in Daqahliya, Egypt.
The incident at the Louvre occurred at the entrance of an underground shopping centre leading to the museum.
Hundreds of visitors were inside the museum at the time of the attack and were evacuated.
Armed police and soldiers patrolled the site on Saturday as international tourists lined up to gain entrance.
The guards on patrol outside the museum were just some of the thousands of troops lining the streets as part of the stepped-up response to a series of attacks in France in recent years:
Security has become a theme of the French presidential election in April, which sees far-right leader Marine Le Pen and centrist independent Emmanuel Macron leading the polls.
The hosts failed to create many clear chances in a drab match and had midfielder George Thorne taken off with a serious leg injury late on.
McGoldrick fired in the winner from the spot after Teddy Bishop was brought down in the area by Richard Keogh.
The Rams finish fifth and will host Hull in the first leg of the play-offs.
Derby face the Tigers at the iPro Stadium on 14 May, with the reverse fixture at Hull's KCOM Stadium on 17 May.
Ipswich finish the season a place outside the play-offs in seventh place, five points adrift of Sheffield Wednesday.
The hosts had to play the final eight minutes of the match with 10 men because of Thorne's injury, which he sustained in a challenge with Jonathan Douglas.
Derby head coach Darren Wassall: "I've talked about the importance of the squad and we've got an abundance of midfield players, so if George is seriously injured that's the only shining light we've got.

"Ultimately this result doesn't matter. In the big scheme of things it's inconsequential because next week's results are the ones that will define our season."
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy: "It was a good away performance and it's given me a lot of encouragement for next season.
"We've finished on a high, we've played 46 games and there's no point wishing or hoping, that's not me, the reality is we weren't good enough to get into the play-offs."
Exeter Crown Court heard Chay Roberts-Jones, of Preston Street, "accidentally hit" one girl "somewhere around the chest" during a camping trip.
The 29-year-old denies three counts of sexual assault.
He was suspended from Blundells School in Tiverton in 2014 over the allegations.
The prosecution alleges Mr Roberts-Jones ran his fingers over the 16-year-old girl's breasts during the camping trip.
Frederick Morris told the jury he was on the trip and said the girl was wearing a zip-up onesie, which she opened herself to reveal a t-shirt.
"There was a conversation and Mr Roberts-Jones was telling a story," he said.
"He was in the middle of a circle and as he turned around during the story he accidentally hit the girl.
"It was completely by accident and he apologised straight away."
Mr Morris said Mr Roberts-Jones "hit her somewhere around the chest" and "apologised and nothing was made of it".
The court heard he was living in a cottage in the school grounds and was engaged to a female teaching assistant at the time the alleged offences took place in 2011, 2013 and 2014.
The trial continues.
The possibility raised by the firm's chief regulatory officer was the latest warning from a financial firm since the UK voted to leave the European Union.
Currently, UK-based companies can conduct business throughout Europe, but could lose that right.
However, Deutsche Bank has said it is committed to the City of London.
Brexit: All you need to know about the UK leaving the EU
What are the key issues for the Brexit negotiations?
Sylvie Matherat, chief regulatory officer at Deutsche, made the remarks on Wednesday.
The positions in question include not just front office jobs, but also roles in IT and risk management, she said.
"For front office people, if you want to deal with an EU client, you need to be based in the EU," she said during a panel at the Frankfurt Main Finance Conference in Germany.
"Does it mean I have to move all the front office people to Germany or not? We're speaking of 2,000 people."
She added that an additional 2,000 jobs linked to risk management could also face relocation.
"So we really need clarity," Ms Matherat said. "We are the largest bank branch operating in the UK. We do have something like 9,000 people there, so I mean they [staff] do have real questions [including] where do I register my children for in the next two years at school? I mean that is a very concrete question."
Despite the warning, the bank last month entered negotiations for a new London headquarters with a 25-year lease.

Griffiths, 23, running his first marathon, finished 13th and was the first British runner across the line to qualify the World Championships.
Thie, who coached Griffiths for four years, praised the Swansea Harriers runner.
"He's really strong mentally in terms of staying focussed," said Thie.
Thie, who represented Wales at the 2006 and 2010 Commonwealth Games, said he had high hopes for Griffiths who now coaches himself.
"If you can go out there on your own on a wet windy day and get the training done then when you stand on the start line of a race you are on your own," he said.
"If you're used to that process and not reliant on other people there are benefits to being self-coached.
"I've got a feeling his life's going to change in the running world.

"He took an opportunity on Sunday. He performed out of his socks and it's a fairytale performance, but he worked so hard it's a justified performance."
Griffiths' finishing time of two hours 14 minutes 49 seconds in London means he has also qualified to run at next year's Commonwealth Games in Australia's Gold Coast.
And Thie believes Griffiths will not be heading down under just to make up the numbers.
"They still have to go through the selection process, there's no absolute guarantee, but I think barring disaster he's on that plane to the Gold Coast," he added.
"It might be a big ask, he's only 23 now,
"You'd think he'd be a real medal shot at 28 but with the progression and the improvement curve he's on, if you're a betting man you might put an outside bet on Josh Griffiths getting close to that podium."

The Sun Centre was demolished in September to pave way for the regeneration, despite a 300-name petition to save it.
Plans include the building of a new water park, an outside splash pool, sun lounger areas, cafe terraces and a bar.
Denbighshire Council said it would attract 350,000 new visitors a year to Rhyl.
If full planning permission is approved, work will begin in September 2017 and the new facilities will open in early 2019.
The council supported outline proposals for the development of the scheme earlier this year.
As part of the redevelopment Rhyl's skate park and paddling pool will be moved.
The council said it would consult with young people on the design of the park.
Jamie Groves, head of facilities, assets and housing, said the submission of the plans was a "significant milestone" for the development.
"There is a lot of anticipation into how the new water park will look," he said.
The meeting is taking place at the truce village of Panmunjom in the demilitarised zone.
Tension between the two sides ramped up in August when a border blast injured two South Korean soldiers.
Meetings at that time eventually led to the two countries stepping away from a military confrontation.
The BBC's Stephen Evans in Seoul says Thursday's talks, agreed after the standoff, are unlikely to produce any grand result, but their significance is that they are taking place in what has been a continual atmosphere of mistrust.
There are no big issues on the agenda, but rather matters of how to continue meeting, perhaps at increasingly senior levels, he says.
The two sides are expected to discuss details such as the timing and agenda of higher-level talks, reported South Korean news agency Yonhap.
The South's chief negotiator, Kim Ki-Woong, told reporters before the meeting: "We are resolved to maintaining the momentum for dialogue that was started by the August agreement."
In June 2013, the two sides agreed to hold what would have been the first high-level dialogue for six years. But just the day before the scheduled meeting, Pyongyang cancelled it, citing the seniority of the South Korean negotiator.
On 4 August two South Korean soldiers by the border were seriously injured by a landmine blast, which was blamed on the North. The North denied planting the landmine.
The South began propaganda broadcasts into the North, infuriating Pyongyang which in turn declared a "semi-state of war" and began deploying troops to the frontline.
But after talks, also held at Panmunjom, the two countries reached a deal to de-escalate tensions with the South stopping the broadcasts and the North pulling back troops.
They also agreed to work towards a resumption of reunions for families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War, a recurring point of contention.
That conflict ended with an armistice, which means the two countries are still technically at war.
A suicide bombing at a mosque in al-Jubba killed 10 anti-jihadist fighters. Militants then attacked police and army positions, killing 13, officials said.
A further 28 Iraqi troops were wounded, while militant casualties are unknown.
The incidents took place near the Ain al-Asad airbase, where US forces are currently training Iraq's military.
The attacks were carried out on Tuesday near the town of al-Baghdadi, which is 110 miles (180 km) north-west of Baghdad.
No group has said it was behind the the attacks. However, they come as Iraqi forces battle fighters from the Islamic State (IS) militant group, which has seized large swathes of Iraq and neighbouring Syria.
Iraqi forces are providing training to local fighters at the Ain al-Asad base, and on Monday Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi called for a "tribal revolution" against IS.
Meanwhile, IS said it had killed eight men in Iraq's Salahuddin province for allegedly co-operating with government security forces and international airstrikes, AP news agency reported.
A series of photos posted on a Twitter account used by the group showed the men kneeling and blindfolded beside a riverbank.
A provincial official speaking on condition of anonymity, however, contradicted the claim that the men were collaborators.
He told AP the men were army officers who had deserted prior to IS taking over parts of the province last year, and that they had not co-operated with Iraqi government forces.

He was filmed asking the rider "do you know who I am?" and challenging him to a "bare-knuckle fight" after being overtaken.
According to reports, the 54-year-old grandfather has since apologised.
The BBC has approached Mr Pickering for a comment.
In the footage, Mr Pickering asks the motorcyclist: "Do you know who I am? You soon will do."
The motorcyclist replies: "Do I care? Who are you then?"
"Ronnie Pickering", responds Mr Pickering.
This particular section of the pair's exchange captured the imagination of social media users, prompting dozens of parodies and tweets.
Comedian Jack Whitehall tweeted: "Ronnie Pickering was so angry last night he turned the moon red."
While former BBC Two Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannatyne tweeted: "Who is Ronnie Pickering?"
But the video met with a mixed response in Mr Pickering's home city of Hull.
Ex-Hull City footballer and boxer Curtis Woodhouse tweeted: "Serious question, do you class Ronnie Pickering as a proper world champ? Or just a regular champ? #WBA"
Gavin Mellor tweeted: "Don't need City of Culture to put Hull on the map when you've got #ronniepickering"
Ashley Brown tweeted: "It's a proud day in Hull as the rest of the country get to meet #RonniePickering"
But Alyson Shipley tweeted: "As a resident of Hull I find Ronnie Pickering an utter embarrassment and not a good ambassador for our fine city."
Mr Pickering told the Hull Daily Mail, the rider was "baiting me so I thought I would give him a few of my thoughts".
Humberside Police said it was investigating the video footage and whether an offence had been committed, but no official complaint has been made.
Sailing in 1790 from Sydney to the island's small settlement, laden with vital supplies, the ship was wrecked on a reef in Slaughter Bay. For a settlement never far from starvation, it was an unnerving moment.
Two hundred and twenty-five years later, Norfolk Islanders are lamenting what they claim is another disaster: the wrecking of their democracy and independence.
On Thursday, they learned the Australian government planned to present legislation to the nation's parliament that would dismantle Norfolk Island's legislative assembly and force the islanders to pay income and company tax to Australia.
The changes would give the 1,800 islanders access to Australian health and welfare payments for the first time, while the New South Wales government would provide essential services on behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia.
But the loss of self-government seems to be too high a price for the islanders, many of whom are descendants of Tahitians and the HMS Bounty mutineers who resettled there from the Pitcairn Islands in 1856 and have fiercely maintained their independence ever since.
The island's chief minister, Lisle Snell, rejects the Australian government's claim that residents support the changes. He plans to hold a referendum on self-government within the next two months.
"We were deeply disappointed with the way the news was delivered," Mr Snell tells the BBC.
"But the big issue is the obliteration of our legislative assembly and self-government."
No longer will the residents of Norfolk Island be able to have a voice on issues that affect them, such as health, social welfare, policing, education, he says.
Mr Snell has been worried for some time about the governing coalition's election promise to make changes on the island. Last October, he visited Canberra with a petition signed by more than 740 islanders, advocating that island residents have a say in how their 35-sq-km (13.5 sq miles) home is governed.
He said at the time that the model the federal government wanted to impose would prove dysfunctional and inoperable.
Since then, he claims, the risk that the abolition of self-government would also do away with the island's virtually tax-free status has scared away business investment. The island's main source of revenue is a 12% goods and services tax.
Half way between New Caledonia and New Zealand, Norfolk Island is one of Australia's most geographically isolated and oldest territories. It has always struggled financially but the global financial crisis decimated its main source of income from tourism.
Situated 1,670km north-east of Sydney, freight costs among other things are crippling for tourism operators and other businesses.
Since 2010, Norfolk Island has not been raising enough taxes to pay for services on the island and it has been receiving millions of dollars in Australian government subsidies. Now the Australian taxpayer will have to foot a $A136m ($107m, £53m) bill to turn the legislative assembly into a regional council.
Former Chief Minister Andre Nobbs said the island cannot compete with cheap airfares and bargain holiday prices for destinations such as Bali and Fiji.
"We are on a knife edge," the Pitcairn descendant told the BBC from his island home.
He takes umbrage at the suggestion locals support the reforms. "There has never been enough information that would enable us to make an informed decision," he says.
And he argues that the mainland has chosen not to work collaboratively with the island's government on issues such as an independent body to oversee government decisions, or on alternative forms of income such as establishing the island as a "flag of convenience" shipping registry.
Islanders have also long been angry that international fishers pay royalties to the Australian Government to fish in Norfolk Island's exclusive economic zone, rather than the money going into island coffers.
Passion for the birthplace is strong amongst islanders. Mr Snell - descended from the Pitcairn Island people on his mother's side - said he had always been led to believe that the island had been given to the Pitcairn immigrants by the British Government (before Australia had its own government).
"I have a strong attachment to this place," he said, describing the beauty and pristine nature of much of the island. "It is my people who have kept it this way."
Norfolk Islanders have resisted mainland attempts at resuming control of the island before, most notably in 2006 when it hired a lobbyist to fight proposed tax changes. And it seems they have plenty of fight left in them.
"It is not over," says Mr Nobbs.
From its beginnings in 2003, Neil Murray has been responsible for building Mimecast - now the leading provider of cloud-based email management for Microsoft Exchange and Office 365 - from the ground up.
It now serves over 4,500 customers and more than one million users worldwide, with offices in Europe, USA, South Africa and the Channel Islands.
Neil co-founded the business, and today he continues to lead the development of all the company's technology, overseeing the construction of Mimecast's platform and spearheading their move into the mobile space.
What's your biggest technology problem right now?
We're an email company, but our technological problem isn't email, really. It's the production of technology.
Traditionally, the way people have built software has been fairly linear. You design it, you build it, you ship it.
But in the cloud space, and certainly in the email space, the evolution of the code is so rapid that our biggest problem is getting new features out in days, not weeks or months or years.
To get to that point, we're kind of in the middle of a change to a philosophy called "continuous delivery", a technique which has been pioneered by quite a lot of the big cloud, business-to-consumer vendors, where what you do is you tend to automate everything.
So as your developers automate their code, the test is automated and the deployment of the software is near-on immediate. You're shipping very small changes in real-time to your cloud production system as your day goes by. You're not versioning, you're not doing all that traditional stuff.
It is fairly complex to take an organisation like ours, which has been around since 2003, and re-build it internally to do that kind of stuff. But it's a critical requirement to keep up with the pace.
It's something that has to evolve within our business so we can cope with other, smaller problems.
The big challenge is re-engineering the business for that rate of change.

What's the next big tech thing in your industry?
I'd call it 'email evolved'.
Some people call it Email 2.0, but I think that was overused as a term two or three years ago, to mean email that was just spam free.
Email can't go anywhere. I often have to answer the question, for various reasons, as to why email still exists. Everybody is convinced that because kids are using Twitter and Facebook they don't need to use email anymore.
The reality is that as soon as you have a job, and a need for asynchronous, subject-centric communications, you tend to use email because it's the only standard that's agreed upon by all businesses in the world as a collaborative medium.
Email can evolve fairly rapidly - and it has no choice. It's on the desk of every working person. It occupies maybe four or five hours of their life depending on how much of an information worker they are.
It's not acceptable in its current form. The evolution, I would expect, from email is that it become much more collaborative, and much more transparently viewed.
If you think of Twitter as the far extreme of transparency, and the current traditional email as the least transparent medium and very closed down, I see email as morphing into a broader capability, transparent, project-centric sharing system.
What's the biggest technology mistake you've ever made - either at work or in your own life?
My wife and I have just bought this old Victorian house.
I had complete disregard for how a modern, networked, "has to be live online every day" kind of person could function in a house that essentially filters out radio waves.
The walls are two-foot thick - it's a lovely building - but it's not designed for the things that I need to do in it. What that used to be 100 years ago is entirely different to what it is now.
It's quite a lesson in 'built for purpose'. I certainly have to make a significant technological investment in this place to allow it to function, or to allow it to allow me to function in my normal mode these days - which is essentially with the internet plugged into my head!
I'm planning a long-term strategy of running some high-speed cable through the property - but I have to do all of this as a process of when it suits the rebuilds, and when it suits refurbishments and things like that.
It can be done - it's a mistake in that it never occurred to me that this was a thing I would be spending money on.
No-one was injured and five men were later arrested after officers were called to the area of Arne Court and Vaughan Williams Road in Laindon.
The alarm was raised just after 01:00 BST on Sunday when callers reported seeing a number of men with firearms.
Two more men were arrested later and road closures lifted, police said.
Three men are being held on suspicion of attempted murder and two others on suspicion of conspiracy to rob.
Det Ch Insp Marina Ericson said: "Officers remain in the area making inquiries and engaging with the local community whilst we build a picture of what happened.
Police are asking residents in the area of Vaughan Williams Road, Holst Avenue or Arne Court to contact them.
Dr Jeroen Ensink, 41, was found in a street in Islington with stab wounds on Monday.
The lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine was pronounced dead at the scene in Hilldrop Crescent at about 13:50 GMT.
A 22-year-old has been charged with Dr Ensink's murder.
As Dr Ensink was named as the victim, colleagues paid tribute to the "popular" public health lecturer, saying he will be "greatly missed".
Prof Peter Piot said: "We are deeply shocked and saddened.
"Jeroen was passionately committed to a simple cause - improving access to water and sanitation in countries where children continue to die needlessly due to the lack of these basic services."
Dr Ensink joined the school almost a decade ago. At the time of his death he was leading a study in the Democratic Republic of Congo to understand how improvements in water supply could control and prevent cholera outbreaks.
Prof Piot, director of the school, added: "He was a natural educator and immensely popular with students in whom he invested much time and energy.
"Jeroen will be greatly missed by all the staff and students who had the opportunity to know and work with him, and the legacy of his work will continue in Asia and Africa.
"Our deepest condolences go to his family and friends."
Timchang Nandap, 22, of Pett Street, Woolwich, south-east London, has been charged with Dr Ensink's murder.
He appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Thursday and was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Monday, Scotland Yard said.
State television quoted the army as saying several rockets landed in the airport compound in Mezzeh, Reuters news agency reports.
It remains unclear if the alleged bombardment, which caused fires, has caused any casualties.
The Israeli government has previously neither confirmed nor denied that it carries out strikes in Syria.
It is thought to have bombed weapons shipments intended for Lebanon's Hezbollah movement several times since Syria's civil war began in 2011.
Hezbollah, which fought a month-long war with Israel in 2006, has sent thousands of fighters to Syria to support President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
State-run Syrian news agency Sana reported explosions at the Mezzeh military airport and said ambulances were rushing to the scene.
The army was quoted as warning Israel "of the repercussions of the flagrant attack", according to Reuters.
In December, Syrian state media said an Israeli missile strike had targeted the airport in Mezzeh, causing fires but no casualties.
Days earlier, on 30 November, Israeli jets were reported to have fired missiles from Lebanese airspace into Syria, striking Sabboura, an area outside Damascus.
The target was unclear but the highway from Lebanon to Damascus runs through the town.
David Willey made 118 off 55 balls, the highest T20 score by a Yorkshire batsman, as they totalled 233-6.
And although Whiteley hit six maximums in an over from Karl Carver that also contained a wide, Willey bowled him for 65 as they fell short on 196-7.
There were also wins for Birmingham Bears, Lancashire and Somerset.
And there was a tie between Sussex and Kent at Hove, where the home side were asked to chase a rain-reduced target of 88 off eight overs and ended on 87-3 when Laurie Evans was run out off the final ball of the game.
The South Group matches between Hampshire and Surrey, and Glamorgan and Essex, were both abandoned without a single ball being bowled.
Whiteley's assault on spinner Carver was not the only incident-packed over in Worcestershire's game against Yorkshire.
Australian John Hastings was also on the receiving end as one of his three overs for the Rapids cost him 34 runs.
It began with four no-balls, and also included six runs given away in wides, plus two sixes and two fours, and he ended Yorkshire's innings with figures of 2-58.
Hastings tried to repair some of the damage when he opened the batting in Worcestershire's reply with two sixes of his own, but was caught at deep mid-wicket after making 24 off 10 balls.
Joe Clarke scored 51, but it was Whiteley who gave their run-chase belated impetus as he did even better than Alex Hales, whose six successive sixes for Nottinghamshire against Birmingham Bears in 2015 were spread over two overs.
Lancashire's game at Old Trafford began in painful fashion for Liam Livingstone as he needed treatment after being hit on the arm in Durham seamer Chris Rushworth's opening over.
The England T20 player was in the firing line again later in the home side's innings when he was struck by a powerful shot by team-mate Dane Vilas.
However, it did not stop Livingstone scoring a 34-ball half-century and his 61 was the top score in a total of 174-5.
Durham, who like Worcestershire have yet to win a T20 game this season, lost their way after opener Cameron Steel was dismissed for 37 by Jordan Clark (3-36) and they finished on 143-8 to lose by 31 runs.
And their disappointment was compounded by the loss of opening batsman Adam Hickey, who had to leave the field after injuring his arm while trying to take a catch during Lancashire's innings.
Pollock is a famous name in South African cricket circles, and pace bowler Shaun Pollock had a spell in county cricket with Warwickshire between 1996 and 2002.
Opener Ed Pollock is no relation - born in High Wycombe - but he certainly made a big impression on his T20 debut for Birmingham Bears with 66 off 40 balls against Derbyshire at Edgbaston.
The 22-year-old left-hander struck three sixes and five fours before falling to Hardus Viljoen, but New Zealander Colin de Grandhomme weighed in with an unbeaten 65 off 28, including five maximums, as they reached 197-4.
De Grandhomme's compatriot Grant Elliott then claimed 4-37 with the ball as Derbyshire were restricted to 177-4 in reply to lose by 20 runs, their second defeat in three days.
"Ed is that kind of cricketer, he's quite carefree, goes out and is really aggressive. It was a punt today (to pick him) but it came off," Bears skipper Ian Bell told BBC WM.
Elsewhere, Eoin Morgan hit seven sixes in his 59 for Middlesex, but Somerset's James Hildreth made 63 off 34 balls as they reached 166-5 off the penultimate ball to win by five wickets.
Is Whiteley's over the best hitting you have seen in T20 cricket?
Hector Beltran Leyva and Vicente Carrillo Fuentes: two of the biggest names from two of the most notorious families in the history of Mexican drug trafficking.
Under normal circumstances, the arrest of both men within days of each other would have been cause for great celebration and self-congratulation by the Pena Nieto administration.
Instead, coming as it does amid the horror in Iguala, it has looked like a hurried and misguided response to a much deeper crisis.
With each day that passes, the authorities unearth more details of brutality, and more bodies, charred beyond recognition and dumped in shallow graves in the small town in the western state of Guerrero.
But unlike Beltran Leyva or Carrillo Fuentes, these victims were not involved in the drug trade. They were teachers. Or at least they were training to be at the time they were seemingly carried off to their deaths by the local police.
Even to the hardiest drug war reporters in Mexico, the events in Iguala stand out as harrowing.
"We've seen many episodes of brutality in recent years", says Marcela Turati, reporting from Iguala for the Mexican weekly, Proceso. "But perhaps because they're students, this one feels different."
The authorities are still to confirm exactly what happened in Iguala - or indeed, why - but the role of the police in the students' fates is undeniable.
During a night of protest by the students in late September over job discrimination in rural schools, the police opened fire on them and vehicles they were travelling in, killing several.
Among the dead was a member of a 3rd division football team caught in the hail of bullets as they returned home on a bus.
At the behest of someone - be it police chief, local mayor or regional drug lord - the students were rounded up by the municipal police, and have not been seen since.
"Here we can talk of specific criminal acts carried out by the police," says Ms Turati. "We know they first fired on the students. We don't know at what point they might have handed the students over to other criminal actors, but we certainly know from the videos that they took them."
Days later, the mass graves started to appear.
Of those arrested over the abductions, 22 were local police officers. One of the detained men led the authorities to the graves and said the majority of the remains were the bodies of the missing students. The anguished families fear he is telling the truth.
Meanwhile the Mayor of Iguala, Jose Luis Abarca, his wife and his chief of police have fled and are wanted in connection with the attacks.
It is the extent of that "clear collusion" between the local authorities and the drug cartels, says journalist Marcela Turati, that has provoked the huge protests in Mexico City and elsewhere in the country.
"People are angry," she says. "This infiltration is part of the fabric (of society) here. This is what people mean when they refer to 'narco-politics' in Mexico."
Both the Guerrero state governor, Angel Aguirre, and President Pena Nieto have come under growing pressure over their handling of the crisis.
Critics say the security forces did not take victims' families' calls for urgent action seriously until it was too late.
The president has also been denied any sense of victory he might otherwise have enjoyed over the arrest of Beltran Leyva and Carrillo Fuentes.
Instead of applauding his security forces over the past week, Mr Pena Nieto has been forced to use words like "outrageous, painful and unacceptable" to describe their actions.
In fact, to an angry and cynical public, the arrests seem like the federal government knew where the big fish were all along, but were just waiting for a politically expedient moment to haul them in - something the government denies.
As a presidential candidate in 2012, Enrique Pena Nieto poured scorn on the drug war strategy of the outgoing president, Felipe Calderon, saying there was little point in chasing down drug kingpins because they would always be replaced by one of their lieutenants.
Far better, he said - his advisers nodding sagely - to reduce violent crime across the board and bring an end to the sort of savage attacks in Mexico which stopped people from leading normal lives.
Since then, however, he has presided over the capture or killing of the heads of almost all the major cartels: the leader of the Zetas, Miguel Angel Trevino, alias Z-40, the head of the Betran Leyva Organisation, Hector Beltran Levya, the head of the Juarez Cartel, Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, and arguably the most elusive and significant capture of them all, the Sinaloa Cartel boss, Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman.
Yet events like Iguala continue to happen. Indeed, the disappearances in Guerrero knocked out of the headlines the revelations that 22 people had been killed in what appear to have been extrajudicial killings by the military, inside a grain warehouse in San Pedro Limon, in Mexico State.
Both episodes involve astonishing levels of brutality apparently carried out by the security forces against unarmed people.
Today the president seems to be no closer to his stated aim of forever breaking the links between organised crime and the apparatus of the state than he was as a candidate.
Labour said it was part of the party's plans to rejuvenate the High Street and protect local communities.
The Consumers' Association reports that 1,046 local bank branches closed in the UK between December 2015 and January 2017, Labour said.
The Conservatives claimed Labour's plans would see corporation tax at 28% and lead to £500bn of extra debt.
Labour said it would replace the government's Access to Banking Protocol with legislation to prevent closures.
The party said the big four banks made more than £11bn profit from their High Street banks in 2015, and "can afford to provide this vital customer service instead of prioritising cost-saving measures that damage communities and small businesses".
Labour points to research that suggests lending to small businesses drops by 63% in areas with recent branch closures, and the loss of a local bank branch significantly diminishes the abilities of deprived communities and households to access even basic financial services.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said: "High Street bank closures have become an epidemic in the last few years, blighting our town centres, hurting particularly elderly and more vulnerable customers, and local small businesses whilst making healthy profits for themselves.
"It's time our banks recognise instead that they are a utility providing an essential public service.
"Only Labour will put in place the legal obligations needed to bring banks into line and stand up for our High Streets, communities and small businesses."
In response, Conservative vice-chairman Stuart Andrew said: "Labour's plan for our High Streets would see corporation tax going back up to 28% and £500bn of extra debt - all under a Labour leader who said that we should not be afraid of debt or borrowing.
"Our support for High Streets has seen town centre vacancy rates come back down since Labour were in government.
"Our support for small businesses has seen start-up loans to help people launch new businesses, which has already helped 40,000 smaller firms across the country."
The company has commissioned a 13-ft (3.96m) bronze statue which will be housed in Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
It will be unveiled at the San Diego Comic Con later this month before being placed in the park from 10 August.
A sketch of the statue released by Marvel shows the character holding his signature shield in the air.
Marvel's senior vice-president of licensing, Paul Gitter, told USA Today the pose was "symbolically chosen to showcase the impressive strength of Captain America and his stoic form".
The figure will also bear the superhero's quote "I'm just a kid from Brooklyn" - said in the 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger.
However, some fans have pointed out the original comic book character was actually from Manhattan's Lower East Side.
In the comics, the superhero was the son of Irish immigrants - a similar background to that of co-creator Jack Kirby, who was the son of Austrian-Jewish immigrants living in the same area.
Nicholas Slayton tweeted: "Come on guys, Cap's from the Lower East Side, not Brooklyn."
Ronald Pollock wrote: "Kind of weird how there's going to be a Captain America statue in Brooklyn but Jack Kirby originally had him born in the Lower East Side."
But writing for pop culture website The Mary Sue, Teresa Jusino said film fans would consider Brooklyn the character's home.
"In the [Marvel Cinematic Universe], Captain America's Lower East Side childhood has been erased in favour of a Brooklyn upbringing," she wrote.
"For many who haven't read the comics, that's the Cap they know. So, it makes a certain amount of sense that this statue would appeal to those people, rather than to comics fans."
Earlier this year, Captain America: Civil War took $181.8m (£139.9m) at the US box office on its first weekend of release - the fifth biggest opening weekend of all time.

South Lakes Safari Zoo in Dalton-in-Furness opened in 1994 and now houses more than 1,500 animals, including tigers, giraffes and rare birds.
Barrow Council is considering whether to grant the site a new zoo licence.
Owner David Gill has "stepped away from all trading and management activities", a spokesperson said.
The zoo was fined £297,500 for health and safety breaches when keeper Sarah McClay, 24, was mauled to death by a tiger in 2013.
Recent inspections have revealed poor veterinary care, uncontrolled breeding and overcrowding.
A report compiled by the local authority shows that between December 2013 and last September, 486 animals died.
They included two snow leopards that were found partially eaten, a pair of squirrel monkeys diagnosed with septicaemia and a giraffe which a post-mortem examination showed was overweight.
Previous inspections called for improvements to be made at the zoo, focusing on the safety of staff, the visiting public and the animals.
But earlier this year government inspectors said any progress had been "seriously undermined" by "deplorable" welfare standards.
Owner David Gill has faced criticism for his "intrusive" style, with inspectors recommending the zoo's licence should not be reissued until new management was in place.
A spokesman for Mr Gill said: "The current arrangement sees the entire zoo site leased to Cumbria Zoo Company Limited under a six-month lease.
"Mr Gill remains the licence holder, but otherwise has stepped away from all trading and management activities connected with the zoo."
He has since brought in a new management company to oversee the zoo's operation.
However, the council is being recommended to refuse the licence renewal, which could see the zoo close.
A spokeswoman for the charity Captive Animals' Protection Society (Caps), which has conducted its own inspection visits, said: "The conduct of this zoo has been some of the worst we have seen in many years and feel that a cause for closure is strong.
"We have urged the council to take the opportunity to prevent more animal suffering at this zoo."
Barrow councillors will make a decision on the new application on 6 March.
Friends of Wombwell Cemetery will use the lottery cash and heritage grants to turn the crumbling church into a community hub.
Some of the money will also go towards putting on guided walks and displays at the graveyard near Barnsley.
Mike Bretton, chairman of the group, said he hoped the revamped building would be open by the end of the year.
He said: "We've had two or three [attempts] at trying to get this off the ground and finally the gods have smiled on us and we've ended up with all this lovely money, which we can use to the benefit of the community and preserve our heritage.
"We need a community facility in Wombwell and we've got the backing of the community."
The group received £78,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund and £43,400 from WREN, as well as grants from other organisations totalling £23,000.
Planned repairs to the chapel include replacing the floor and windows, installing heating and creating an exhibition space.
If approved, the £20m plant will be built next to an existing research centre founded in 2001 by Boeing and the University of Sheffield.
The company said the factory, at Catcliffe in Rotherham, could also lead to new jobs in the supply industry.
The plant will manufacture hi-tech aircraft components.
President of Boeing Europe, Sir Michael Arthur, said they chose South Yorkshire for the factory because of a skilled workforce in the area and the firm's links with Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC).
He said: "The area has very high skills, particular in advanced manufacturing technology, which we think is world class."
"We, as a company, want to start making these very sophisticated components - actuation systems, the gearing systems on wings, and Sheffield is a good place to come," he added.
The factory, which will produce actuators for 737, 737 MAX and 777 aircraft, will be next to the AMRC centre.
Boeing said it would also increase its commitment to research at the site.
If planning permission is granted, the site could up and running by late-2018.
The news comes shortly after luxury supercar manufacturer McLaren announced it is planning to build a £50m chassis factory on the site, creating 200 jobs.
Professor Keith Ridgway, of the AMRC, said the investment takes the region on from its coal and steel heritage to manufacturing high performance components for the automotive and aerospace sector.
Rolls Royce already has a jet engine factory on the site.
Previously, iPlayer users only needed a licence if they were using the service to watch live broadcasts.
That meant it was legal to watch programmes after broadcast on catch-up without paying the annual £145.50 fee.
But the TV licence requirements have now been extended to include catch-up, online premieres and online-only shows.
The changes to the rules are expected to particularly affect younger people, who are more likely to consume content on smartphones or tablets than via traditional television sets.
TV Licensing has already begun making students more aware of the changes, many of whom will be affected at the start of the new academic year.
It says that "in limited circumstances", students can be covered by the licence at their parents' address and advises them to check its website for more details.
Licences cover a household, rather than an individual.
Viewers are now prompted to declare if they have a TV licence when they try to watch any content on iPlayer.
A BBC spokesperson said: "At present, a pop-up window appears asking viewers to confirm they've got a TV licence when they click to play live BBC content on iPlayer, and from today, that will update to include on-demand BBC programmes on iPlayer.
"The vast majority of households - around 94% - are already licensed so this change will not affect them. You still need a licence to watch or record live TV on any channel."
It is unclear exactly how the new rules will be enforced.
A TV Licensing spokesperson said: "We are not going to use mass surveillance techniques, we are not going to ask internet providers for IP addresses, and in fact, we will simply use existing enforcement processes and techniques which we believe to be adequate and appropriate.
"Our current procedures enable us to catch those watching on devices other than televisions."
It is understood that TV Licensing currently uses technology, letters and visits to unlicensed households to check whether households have a licence and enforce the law.
The government's White Paper asked the BBC to consider the cost and feasibility of a verification or sign-in system for iPlayer.
Damian Collins, acting chair of the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, told the BBC he was not certain how the new rules would be enforced.
He told Radio 4's Today programme: "The BBC haven't set that out and this is undoubtedly something we'll ask the director general about the next time he's in front of the committee.
"A good way around this could be having a pin number to access iPlayer and online services.
"There's been talk about having a system so you could access iPlayer from abroad. I think this could open up not just a better service for BBC viewers and customers but also additional revenue for the BBC in the future as well."
The change comes after the government said it wanted to modernise the current system, so those watching catch-up TV do not get "a free ride".
The new rules apply to all devices used to access iPlayer - including laptops, smartphones, tablets, TV streaming devices and games consoles, as well as through third-party services such as Sky, Virgin or BT.
A licence is not needed to watch S4C on iPlayer or to listen to BBC radio programmes.

Last year parents were left angered when personal items were removed from children's graves and sent to landfill.
The council held a consultation on the rules and concluded "nuisance" items such as windmills and lights must go.
One councillor said it was a shame a better compromise could not be reached.
Under the rules, stone chippings and glass items are prohibited over safety fears and new fencing, which prevents cemetery maintenance, is also banned.
The council said the rules aimed to maintain the sanctity of cemeteries.
Torfaen cabinet member John Cunningham said the new process would address campaigners' main concern that the rules were not being applied consistently.
But independent councillor Elizabeth Haynes said not everyone was happy.
"I think that a better compromise could have been reached," she said.
"Possibly some low-level lighting to be included because there were a number of parents that said that leaving their children's graves with lights on gave them a little bit of comfort."
She added many parents felt it was unfair the rules differed depending on council area and had hoped a Wales-wide law outlining what could be placed on graves would be introduced.
The idea was rejected last year by ministers who said the matter should be down to each local authority.
There are many imports from the United States that have really taken off over here but it would be fair to say that the idea of electing a mayor to take control of big chunks of local life is not one of them.
There are 353 local councils across England and, as we come to the end of 2015, just 16 are now run by a directly-elected executive mayor.
In fact, in two places, Hartlepool and Stoke-on-Trent, local people rapidly got fed up with the mayoral system and voted to scrap the post.
So is it just mere coincidence that the public is being given no say at all as the Chancellor, George Osborne, now proudly rolls out the prospect of a new generation of directly-elected executive mayors to run "devolved regions"?
Negotiations have been carried out exclusively between local council leaders and ministers with no plans for a public referendum either before or after any of the deals signed so far have been agreed.
Could it be that the public would veto the idea if given the chance?
A recent exercise in Sheffield might shed some light on that view.
The University of Sheffield's Bernard Crick Centre carefully selected 45 people from across South Yorkshire to form an "Assembly of the North" to come up with their ideas for what a devolved region should be and how it should be run.
It was a carefully monitored academic exercise run by the political research centre's director, Professor Matt Flinders.
"The politicians appear to have little faith in the public being capable of taking part in really important policy decisions," he told me.
"We wanted to see if a citizens' assembly could shed light on whether that was a correct assumption."
The Assembly members, a cross-section of local people selected by an independent polling organisation, were invited to spend two weekends at a hotel in Sheffield where they were almost force-fed information on the ideas behind devolution.
Expert witnesses were brought in and cross-examined.
Supporters of the current regional devolution deals appearing in front of the Assembly included Sir Steve Houghton, the leader of Barnsley Council, and John Mothersole, the chief executive of Sheffield City Council, who together had just brokered a deal to bring together nine neighbouring local councils in a mayor-led "Sheffield City Region".
Sceptics adding their views to the mix included Peter Davies, the former Mayor Doncaster, independent political bloggers and academics.
An independent chairman was brought in to ensure no vested interests had unfair influence in the process.
I can personally vouch for the independence of the chair as it was me.
After four days of deliberation and debate and a series of votes on what the Assembly saw as the way forward for regional devolution they came up with a far different approach to what is being offered now.
They liked the idea of devolving powers and decision-making to their own local area, but saw it as being dangerously undemocratic to trust an executive mayor to be in charge.
Instead, they overwhelmingly supported setting up an elected regional assembly.
They also thought the "Sheffield City Region" deal was far too small and with few powers capable of making a difference.
They wanted it to take in the whole of Yorkshire and the Humber and be allowed to raise its own taxes.
There was one overwhelming view expressed that bubbled up in the Assembly's early discussions and refused to go away.
It was a sense of anger that what is being described by Mr Osborne as a "devolution revolution" is being carried out by politicians behind closed doors.
Of course, all this comes from just 45 members of the public.
But as one of them pointed out, that is 45 more than are being consulted before the deals are signed.
Who says we want a mayor?
Dywedodd y cyn-chwaraewr rhyngwladol ei fod yn "ddigalon iawn" am yr hyn sydd wedi digwydd i'r academi, sydd wedi cau ers mis Medi'r llynedd o achos trafferthion arianol.
Mae Craig Bellamy wedi penodi tîm cyfreithiol i edrych ar yr hyn ddigwyddodd, ac mae'n cydweithredu'n llawn gyda'r awdurdodau.
Cafodd Sefydliad Craig Bellamy ei sefydlu yn 2008 ar ôl iddo ymweld â'r wlad yng ngorllewin Affrica.
Roedd yn cynnig ysgoloriaethau i blant rhwng 11 a 13 oed, a sefydlodd gynghrair ieuenctid ar gyfer tua 2,400 o blant a phobl ifanc.
Llwyddodd yr academi aros yn agored er i'r wlad gael ei heffeithio gan firws Ebola yn 2014, ond bu'n rhaid iddi gau yn 2016.
Yn ôl papur newydd The Times, y rheswm am hynny oedd am fod yr academi wedi cael trafferthion ariannol, er bod Bellamy ei hun wedi buddsoddi cannoedd o filoedd o bunnau yn y cynllun.
Mae'r cyn-ymosodwr nawr wedi apwyntio tîm cyfreithiol i gymryd golwg ar unrhyw afreoleidd-dra allai fod yn y rheolaeth o'i faterion ariannol.
Dywedodd ei gynrychiolwyr cyfreithiol mewn datganiad y byddan nhw'n "helpu cyrff y llywodraeth yn eu hymchwiliadau ac, os oes angen, yn gweithredu yn erbyn y rheiny sy'n gyfrifol am unrhyw ddrygioni".
Mae'r Comisiwn Elusennau yn dweud eu bod yn asesu'r sefyllfa, ond nad ydyn nhw wedi dechrau ymchwiliad llawn.
Mae gwefan yr elusen yn dangos nad oes unrhyw gyfrifon wedi cael eu cyflwyno ers 31 Mawrth 2015, a bod y cyfrifon ar gyfer y flwyddyn ariannol hyd at 31 Mai 2015 bron i flwyddyn yn hwyr.
Kian and Callum Jarram and their dad Jon, from Syston, Leicestershire, are the only people in England known to have rare Adams-Oliver syndrome.
Mr Jarram raised £8,000 to pay for the silicone feet, which are not available on the NHS, via a fundraising website.
The football fan brothers, aged 11 and seven, said they could now "play and match up with the other boys".
The boys inherited the condition - which affects only 125 people worldwide and also affects fingers - from their father.
He said when he asked whether the prosthetic feet were available on the NHS he was told funding was not available because the boys' feet were still growing.
Mr Jarram raised the money by asking friends on Facebook to donate via a gofundme.com page.
Kian said it had been the "best Christmas ever" thanks to the feet, which are expected to last the boys two years.
"Our new silicone feet are amazing - they let me play football better, they let me go swimming better and they let me wear flip flops," he said.
"They help me because I've got a bigger base on my foot so I can run faster and hit the ball harder".
Mr Jarram added: "I'm so proud of the way they've dealt with [the condition] - it doesn't stop them doing anything. They live life to the full, they're a credit to themselves they really are."
Kruis had ankle surgery less than a month ago but will replace the suspended Joe Launchbury in the third leg of England's autumn series.
Flanker Tom Wood, full-back Mike Brown and winger Jonny May all return after missing last week's win over Fiji.
May replaces Semesa Rokoduguni, man-of-the-match against Fiji.
Elliot Daly gets another start on the left wing, rather than his normal position of centre, while Teimana Harrison is named among the replacements in place of Nathan Hughes, who has a leg injury.
England have already beaten South Africa and Fiji in the autumn series, taking their record under Jones to 11 wins and no defeats.
"This game against Argentina is a big step up for us as they were probably the second best team in the Rugby Championship and played some exceptional rugby," Jones said.
"They are a quality team, have power in the forwards, speed and guile in the backs as well as great experience.
"We appreciate they have threats across the field and they have always been a physical, tough side. They still have their set-piece armoury in the scrum and line-outs so we're looking forward to a great game of rugby against them."
England team to face Argentina:
Brown; May, Joseph, Farrell, Daly; Ford, Youngs; Vunipola, Hartley (capt), Cole, Lawes, Kruis, Robshaw, Wood, Vunipola.
Replacements: George, Marler, Sinckler, Ewels, Harrison, Care, Te'o, Slade.
Healy's second-placed Blues are seven points behind defending champions Crusaders with seven matches left.
The top two clash in the first post-split fixtures on Saturday, 8 April.
"That will only be a big game if we beat Ards and Ballinamallard. We cannot afford to let the gap widen," said the former Northern Ireland striker.
"It is up to us to do our job and keep the pressure on, but it is going to take an almighty collapse by Crusaders.
"They have not lost many games over the last couple of seasons and it is in their hands.
"I am sure they are confident of holding on to their title."
Victory for Linfield on Saturday would reduce the gap between the top two to four points, for a couple of days at least, as Crusaders host Ballinamallard on Monday night.
Ards are up to eighth in the table having taken seven points from their last three games.
Coleraine will hope to continue their push for a top three place when they travel to Mourneview Park to play Glenavon.
Oran Kearney's Bannsiders have won seven and drawn the other from their last eight in the league and are just one point behind third-placed Cliftonville with a game in hand.
Coleraine will meet Glenavon again in the Irish Cup semi-finals on 1 April, but Kearney is concentrating on picking up more Premiership points.
"We are pushing to finish as high up the league as we can - not thinking ahead and waiting for the cup match," said Kearney.
"There is a huge amount of football for us to play between now and then, and there are places in the team up for grabs.
"If performances are not up to scratch, there are a lot of good players waiting in the wings.
"We are at the business end of the season and I just hope we can carry on with the quality and level of performances we have had recently."
Cliftonville, with just two points from their last four league fixtures, travel to Dungannon whose form has dipped with just one point from a possible 15.
The Premiership's bottom two clash at the Belfast Loughshore Hotel Arena where relegation favourites Portadown face Carrick Rangers.
The Ports have not won in the league since Boxing Day and another defeat would leave them 14 points adrift with six matches left.
Ballymena United, meanwhile, will try to make it three league wins in a row when they play Glentoran at the Showgrounds.
Almost 200 people were injured in the crash near the south-eastern city of Wenzhou.
"Missteps" by 54 officials led to the disaster, the long-awaited official report says.
The crash led many Chinese to accuse the government of putting development and profit before safety.
It also triggered a wave of popular anger against officials who were accused of trying to cover up the seriousness, and causes, of the crash.
After receiving the report, China's cabinet criticised the railways ministry for lax safety standards and poor handling of the crash, according to Reuters.
Premier Wen Jiabao was presented with the official investigation's conclusions at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
The accident occurred after one train stalled following a lightning strike, and then a second high-speed train ran into it. Four carriages were thrown off a viaduct.
The report found that serious design flaws in control equipment and improper handling of the lightning strike led to the crash.
More serious penalties could follow for some of the 54 officials criticised in the report.
Among the officials singled out was the former railways minister, Liu Zhijun, who was sacked before the crash, accused of corruption.
Liu "has the main leadership responsibility for the accident," the report says.
Following the accident, the authorities called a temporary halt to new high-speed rail projects and placed speed restrictions on trains.
China had planned to lay 16,000km (10,000 miles) of high-speed track by 2015, which would make it the biggest high-speed rail network in the world.
It had hoped to make its rapidly developing railway technology an export success: Chinese train companies were aspiring to compete with Germany's Siemens and Canada's Bombardier by selling their technologies to foreign companies.
But after July's crash that looks less likely.
The railways ministry said on Friday that it planned to invest 400 billion yuan ($63bn; £40bn) in infrastructure construction in 2012, which is lower than the figure for this year.
The current minister, Sheng Guangzu, said that rapid railway development should be maintained, as it "plays an important role in the country's social and economic development, especially in boosting domestic demand," according to the Chinese government's website.
The sides were tied at 3-3 after two periods before goals from Katie Taylor and Angela Taylor in the final period ensured Britain held on to third place in the group ahead of North Korea.
Defeat means Australia are relegated to Division Two Group B next year.
Hosts South Korea beat Netherlands 2-0 to win gold and promotion to Division One Group B for 2018.
Great Britain head coach Cheryl Smith said: "We are content right now and happy with the bronze, but we know it could've been better.
"We came for gold and are disappointed we did not get it, but credit to the team for battling back.
"They could've crumbled but they regrouped and battled back and worked hard to claim the bronze."
In the top division Championship, hosts USA beat Canada 3-2 in overtime to claim gold on Friday, while Finland beat Germany in the bronze-medal match.

The bodies of US citizen Michael Sharp and Swedish national Zaida Catalan were discovered in the central Kasai region, a government spokesman said.
They were abducted two weeks ago after going to Kasai to investigate reports of abuses after local rebels took up arms.
Some 40 police officers were found beheaded in the region at the weekend.
Congolese government spokesman Lambert Mende confirmed reports of the discovery to the BBC.
Mr Mende said that the bodies were found in a shallow grave, adding that "the woman was found beheaded, but the body of the man was intact".
In a statement from UN headquarters in UN, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said they "lost their lives seeking to understand the causes of conflict and insecurity'' in DR Congo.
"The United Nations will do everything possible to ensure that justice is done," he added.
Earlier, Mr Mende said that two bodies "of Caucasian or European type" had been discovered on the road linking Bukonde to Tshimbulu in Central Kasai.
"As far as I know, no other white individuals are missing here," Mr Mende said.
He later told reporters that a police commissioner had returned from Kasai with confirmation of their identities.
"According to a witness, they were ambushed by the famous traditionalist Kamwina Nsapu militia, who behead their victims," he said.
A third body found in the same location was that of their interpreter, Betu Tshintela.
Mr Sharp and Ms Catalan were taken, along with four Congolese support staff, into the forest near the village of Ngombe in Kasai.
The Congolese government is fighting a rebel group which operates in the area and is believed to have kidnapped the experts.
The violence in Kasai was sparked by the killing of traditional leader Kamwina Nsapu, who was leading an uprising against President Joseph Kabila.
Before Mr Mende announced the bodies had been identified, John Sharp, Michael's father, expressed his heartbreak on Facebook.
"This is a message I hoped never to write... Dental records and DNA samples will be used to confirm the identities," Mr Sharp wrote.
"All other words fail me."
The company said its testing method for 16 models was not in line with official regulations, but it insisted that new tests showed no need to amend the data.
"Any wrongdoing, such as manipulation of fuel efficiency data, were not found," Suzuki said.
It comes after Mitsubishi's admission last month that it had falsified fuel economy data for its vehicles.
Mitsubishi has said its president, Tetsuro Aikawa, will step down in the wake of the test-fixing scandal.
Japan's transport ministry had ordered all of the country's car makers to present their compliance with government testing methods.
Earlier in the day, media reports had suggested that Suzuki would reveal fuel testing problems and the company's shares fell 9% in response to that.
Suzuki, Japan's fourth-largest car company, said in a statement that problems with the testing went back to 2010, and about 2.1 million vehicles were affected.
No Suzuki-branded cars sold overseas were affected, according to the firm.
Volkswagen has admitted to cheating emissions tests in the US. Authorities found the German car maker was installing a cheating software in its diesel vehicles that could detect when the cars were being tested and would change emission levels accordingly to improve the results.
Mitsubishi Motors has admitted it had falsified fuel economy data for the past 25 years. Breaking Japanese test rules meant the car maker was able to advertise its vehicles as being more fuel efficient than they actually were.
Nissan has been accused of having some of its UK-built Qashqais fitted with so-called emissions defeat devices. The company has denied the allegations.
The Vidella Hotel's owners recently adopted the new moniker - along with the slogan "We will keep you up all night" - as part of a rebranding.
But the change has met with stiff opposition in some quarters.
A spokeswoman for Pfizer, which sells the erectile dysfunction pills, said it would be "taking appropriate action".
"Pfizer does not support nor condone the use of the Viagra trademark in this manner," she said.
"In the UK advertising of prescription-only medicines to the public is strictly prohibited."
Owner Neil Marshall said it was intended to reinforce the hotel's image as a budget destination.
He said previous guests had expected an upmarket hotel when they arrived.
"The Vidella had quite a bad name to it - and the type of clientele coming here thought they were going to come into a posh location," he said.
No complaints had been received, and lots of guests had found the new name funny, he said.
"It'll probably put off the family element but I don't like lying to people, when they come in here they know what they are walking into - friendly all the time but we are a budget hotel.
"If you're not game for a laugh, don't come here."
Claire Smith, president of hotel organisation Stay Blackpool, said the name change was "opening yourself up to problems".
"As a publicity stunt, good on him - but going forward...you may be potentially putting off good quality guests."
"My only concern is you're going to get some real weirdos that are going to not take it in the context that it's meant - in that they're just going for a laugh - and the good hoteliers are going to be spending the whole time just trouble-shooting."
The spinoff, starring Bob Odenkirk, will debut in the US on AMC on 8 February, with its second episode due to air the following night.
It will then be shown in weekly instalments every Monday.
There's still no word on a UK release date, though the show is expected to arrive on Netflix across Europe shortly after its AMC run.
Following a series of short clips and a behind-the-scenes mini-feature, a new teaser has been released.
Entitled Tingle Fingers, the preview is set in a ransacked hotel room.
There's a cigar burning in an ashtray, a set of high heels discarded on the floor and a vibrating bed.
AMC president Charlie Collier has confirmed that the series will focus on the lawyer's pre-Goodman life as Jimmy McGill.
"We're going to introduce Jimmy McGill to the world. Known to Breaking Bad fans as Saul Goodman, viewers will soon discover Saul wasn't always Albuquerque's top criminal (criminal) lawyer," said Collier.
Jonathan Banks, who played Mike Ehrmantraut, will also return for the prequel, with new cast additions including Rhea Seehorn, Michael Mando and Julie Ann Emery.
Although it is yet to be confirmed, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan has previously said that Bryan Cranston and his co-star Aaron Paul, who played Jesse Pinkman in the show, are likely to feature in the forthcoming spin-off Better Call Saul.
Breaking Bad told the story of a high school chemistry teacher Walter White, played by Cranston, who produced methamphetamine with a former student and became a fearsome drug kingpin.

The Wales international back-rower, 27, began the new season by scoring a hat-trick of tries in Sunday's Pro12 victory over Zebre.
Turnbull, who has won seven international caps, said the arrival of new coach Danny Wilson over the summer was a "big factor in me staying".
"We're looking to build something special," he said.
Wilson worked with Turnbull during their time at the Scarlets and feels the forward will play a significant role this season.

"He is a real leader, someone who puts his body on the line and is a fantastic professional," said Wilson.
"He displays all the values that we are looking for in players who represent Cardiff Blues.
"Josh has repeatedly proven his quality at both regional and international level. He remains a very ambitious player and the fact he has signed a new contract is testament to what we are striving to achieve here."
The Blues recently gave captain and fellow back-rower Josh Navidi a new three-year contract.
The Metropolitan Police commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, made the comments at the memorial of PC Yvonne Fletcher, who was 25 when she died.
The officer was gunned down on 17 April 1984 outside the Libyan embassy. No-one has been prosecuted for her death.
Members of her family joined friends and colleagues in remembering her.
A two-minute silence was held during the service in St James's Square, before floral tributes were laid.
Sir Bernard said: "At the end of the day, Yvonne Fletcher's parents lost their daughter.
"Her sister lost a sister. We lost a colleague, and we're determined to make sure we catch the person responsible," he said.
He said the investigation had "never stopped", adding: "We're determined to make progress, and I'm confident we're making good progress."
Ms Fletcher was one of 50 officers policing a protest against Col Muammar Gaddafi's regime outside the embassy when she was hit by a burst of gunfire from a first-floor window.
Investigators believe the bullets, which killed her and injured 10 protesters, was fired by a sniper who intended to hit protesting Libyan dissidents.
Her death led to an 11-day siege of the building and the severing of diplomatic links between the UK and Libya.
In 2012 the Met sent a team of officers to Libya to continue their investigations into the murder.
Ms Fletcher's friend and colleague, John Murray, told the officer in the ambulance that he would get justice for her.
"Bearing in mind that those were the last words she heard before she died, that's a promise I made to her and a promise I'll keep," he said.
The independent ethics committee of world governing body Fifa recommended Wolfgang Niersbach be punished for a breach of its ethics code.
In November, the 66-year-old resigned from his role as German FA president over bribery allegations.
He quit amid allegations a £4.9m payment to Fifa was used to buy votes for Germany's 2006 World Cup bid.
That payment resulted in German authorities opening a tax evasion investigation, but Niersbach has said he always worked "cleanly, confidently and correctly".
In March, Fifa began investigations into the role of Niersbach and five others, including German football legend Franz Beckenbauer, in Germany's bid to host the 2006 World Cup.
It said Niersbach, who was elected to the Fifa and Uefa executive committees last year, would be investigated in order to examine a "possible failure to report a breach of the Fifa code of ethics".
Beckenbauer and three others were to be investigated for "possible undue payments and contracts to gain an advantage in the 2006 World Cup host selection".
Fifa's ethics committee also recommended that Niersbach be fined £20,000.
A directive to shut the Dadaab camp and forcibly repatriate about 260,000 Somali refugees living there was issued last year.
The deadline for its closure had been extended until May, but a high court judge ruled the decision was tantamount to an act of group persecution.
The government says it will appeal against the ruling on security grounds.
It said that attacks on its soil by the Somalia-based al-Shabab group had been planned in the camp.
"The camp had lost its humanitarian nature and had become a haven for terrorism and other illegal activities," Kenyan government spokesman Eric Kiraithe said.
"The lives of Kenyans matter. Our interest in this case, and in the closure of Dadaab refugee camp, remains to protect the lives of Kenyans," he added.
Dadaab was set up in 1991 to house families fleeing conflict in Somalia, and some people have been living there for more than 20 years.
The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights and lobby group Kituo Cha Sheria challenged the decision in court, saying it was discriminatory and contrary to international law.
"The government's decision specifically targeting Somali refugees is an act of group persecution, illegal discriminatory and therefore unconstitutional," Judge John Mativo said.
The orders are excessive, arbitrary and disproportionate, he said.
The BBC's Nancy Kacungira in the capital, Nairobi, says the ruling means the government has to start putting in place mechanisms that will restore regular operations at the camp even though it will launch an appeal.
Kenya's refugee department had already been shut, which meant that new-born babies were not being registered as refugees, Said Abuka, a community leader and refugee in Nairobi, told the Associated Press news agency.
Amnesty International welcomed the ruling, saying it affirmed Kenya's legal obligation to protect people who seek safety from harm and persecution.
"Today is a historic day for more than a quarter of a million refugees who were at risk of being forcefully returned to Somalia, where they would have been at serious risk of human rights abuses," the rights group's Muthoni Wanyeki said in a statement.
Mr Kiraithe said since the closure of Dadaab was announced, more than 51,000 Somalis had voluntarily returned to Somalia.
"We are encouraged that Somalia continues to stabilise politically more so with the election of a new president," he added.
Somalia's 'Mr Cheese' president has a lot on his plate
Somalia's UN-backed government, with the help of a 22,000-strong African Union force, is battling Islamist group al-Shabab to regain control of the country.
But it has only managed to secure major towns.
The militants, who impose a strict version of Islam in the areas they control, still mount deadly bombings and have carried out a string of attacks in neighbouring Kenya.
Kenya is currently building a fence along its 700km (435-mile) border with Somalia, but has completed only 4km so far.
Lofthouse Brass Band was deemed to have used ineligible players after winning the Yorkshire Brass Band Championships fourth section.
They were later exonerated as a bogus email account had been used to remove some registered players.
The national fraud and cyber crime centre Action Fraud has been informed.
The Wakefield-based band, conducted by Andrew Whitaker, won the title at St George's Hall in Bradford on 5 March and qualified for the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain.
The Yorkshire Brass Band Championships confirmed emails were sent in Mr Whitaker's name ahead of the competition removing several key players from the registration list.
A full list of band performers has to be registered two weeks ahead of the contest.
Mr Whitaker said further emails were sent in his name after the competition to rival bands telling them the band "had won with ineligible players".
He said: "I don't think anyone in the brass band community has experienced this before.
"On contest day at registry, they checked our players against a list and found three on there that we didn't have registered.
"We went on stage knowing there may be a chance we would be disqualified."
He added: "I was gutted, it took a bit of the shine off the win because we had to prove we knew nothing about it."
Peggy Tomlinson, secretary of the Yorkshire Brass Band Championships, said: "We thoroughly investigated and the band have been fully exonerated, the result of the contest stands.
"It's quite unbelievable that somebody would go to such lengths and do this to a band.
"It must be someone within the brass band movement, it's just so sad."
She added further security measures will now be put in place within the band registry process.
Lofthouse Brass Band said: "This is now a police matter and has been passed onto their Action Fraud team."
As of March 2016, the number employed by local authorities fell by 170 to fewer than 600 compared to three years earlier - a drop of 23%.
Many of the patrols have not been replaced by cash-strapped councils after crossing assistants retired.
Road safety charity Brake said patrols played a "key role" in keeping children safe.
However, there is no legal duty for councils in Wales to provide them and many have reviewed the use of crossing staff in a bid to address budget deficits.
The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) said financial pressures and recruitment issues were making it hard for councils to fill roles - with bad weather and "commonplace" abuse from drivers putting people off.
Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, show all but three of Wales' 22 councils saw a reduction in the number of crossing patrol staff between 2013 and 2016.
Many councils said crossings were being reassessed and scrapped when staff retired.
Carmarthenshire saw the biggest cut - with 23 posts being lost since 2013.
Road safety and traffic manager for the council, John McEvoy said: "A number of school crossing patrol sites have remained vacant for a long period of time due to difficulties with recruitment."
In Neath Port Talbot 19 posts were lost, as the council tried to address a £17.3m deficit in 2014-15. Many schools, town and community councils, now fund patrols in the area.
Seven roles have gone in Newport and the council said it struggled to recruit suitable candidates, adding it was not unusual for a vacancy to fail to attract a single applicant.
Only Monmouthshire increased the number of patrols in the period, from five to eight in March 2016, while Powys employed no-one in the period.
In Pembrokeshire - where seven posts have been lost due to retirement and ill health - the council reviewed the use of school crossings across the county, carrying out surveys to check their use.
The authority's assistant road safety officer, Sally Jones, said the review had led to plans to cut services in the region being scrapped, and no roles were cut.
A spokeswoman for Brake, said: "School crossing patrols provide a vital service by helping children cross roads safely on their way to school.
"Local authorities have a duty to promote the use of sustainable transport, especially for children on their way to school, yet the number of lollipop people are declining."
Eirlys Twigg started helping children cross the road in 1987.
Almost 30 years later, she is still guiding school children outside Ysgol y Frenni, Crymych.
Her role was under threat during the review, but she said it was saved after support from the community.
"You meet the parents, you meet the children, it's something you do in the community: you are helping the community by doing this job," she said.
"[Lollipop ladies] are very important for the safety of the children to cross to the school and even more important in the afternoon."
Cath Charlton has been helping children cross the road in Merlin's Bridge for the last decade.
When she started, her son, now aged 21, was at the school, and she said helping the children and talking to them always made her day.
"When Merlin's bridge is gridlocked and when the lanes are flooded it does get busy here, and it can be dangerous sometimes," she said.
She believes if the crossing was to be scrapped children could get hurt.
Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) are applied for when hospitals or care homes need to limit where people can go for their own safety.
But a charity said it was worried about the delays and the number of deprivations of liberty that are ultimately not upheld.
Social services are prioritising cases.
When a vulnerable person - usually suffering from a severe learning disability or dementia - has limits put on what they can do, an institution has to apply to the local council to authorise the deprivation of their liberty.
A 2014 Supreme Court ruling means every individual is entitled to their own assessment rather than a general one.
As a result, DoLs applications to local councils and health boards in Wales have risen 16-fold since 2013 - from 631 in 2013/14 to 10,679 in 2014/15.
Applications are supposed to be completed in 21 days.
But Rachael Nicholson, of the charity Action on Elder Abuse Cymru, said she was worried about the delays and the numbers of deprivations of liberty not subsequently upheld.
"People are in a cage. It may be a very safe, pleasant way of looking after people but a gilded cage is still a cage," she told BBC Radio Wales' Eye on Wales programme.
"If you're looking at the equivalent, you're sending people to prison without going through the criminal justice system."
Despite extra Welsh Government funding, the system is struggling to cope, with 43% of applications received during 2014/15 outstanding at the end of the year.
Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales and Healthcare Inspectorate Wales - which jointly monitor the use of DoLS - have said the increase in applications and the time taken to process them was "unprecedented" but "not surprising".
Their annual report covering 2014/15 said: "The volume of activity and the apparent consequences for DoLS application processing times may have real consequences for people."
Liz Majer, of the Association of Directors of Social Services in Wales, said DoLs teams were prioritising the cases where there may be concerns.
"There are people living in residential homes who are quite happy, quite compliant, have no desire to leave those homes. Those would be low priority," she said.
"We know we have to assess them. But we will prioritise those people who have greatness need."
The FA is looking into claims several players were out until late on Saturday night after Friday's 3-0 win over Scotland - less than three days before they drew 2-2 with Spain in a friendly.
Wayne Rooney apologised after pictures showed him at a wedding that night.
Meanwhile, the Sun claims up to 10 other players were at a nightclub drinking until 04:30 GMT on Sunday.
A statement issued on behalf of England captain Rooney, who had attended a wedding at the team's hotel, said: "Naturally Wayne is sorry that pictures taken with fans have been published.
"Although it was a day off for the whole squad and staff, he fully recognises that the images are inappropriate for someone in his position."
The FA, whose decision is not prompted purely by Rooney's night out, is not expecting to discipline anyone.
Chief executive Martin Glenn said: "Don't make a drama out of it. We are having a proper investigation into what went on. It's disappointing. It's appropriate that he apologised. It doesn't set a great tone for the England captain but I don't want to over-dramatise it either.
"Were there FA staff involved? We're establishing the facts. We're talking to people who were there to find out if anybody from the backroom staff was involved. Why on earth would you be doing that given there is a team agreement around alcohol consumption during camp? There would be questions asked for sure.
"There's been a journey. A strict disciplinarian like Fabio Capello where the players were closeted away, it was seen not to be a good success. Roy Hodgson brought a more liberal approach. Roy was right, let's treat people like adults.
"The best agreements are when players come up with their own rules and then work with them. I think we're probably in the right ball park. We just need to have a degree of trust and make sure when we agree something as a group, we stick to it."
Glenn added he had no intention of speaking to Rooney's Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, who was said to be unhappy with the situation.
England's players, who will still have free time but not whole nights off, all reported back at 11:00 GMT on Sunday as they were instructed to, and attended training in the afternoon.

When asked about the Rooney story, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he did not see a problem.
"I feel sorry for the players," he said. "We live on the sunny side of life, but in the end maybe it is a surprise there is a human being behind the kid.
"This generation is the most professional generation of footballers we have ever had - not only in England. All the legends you admire, they drank like devils and smoked like crazy and were still good players. Nobody does that any more.
"I've no idea where Wayne was but I'm pretty sure it was not that serious."
Scotland and West Brom captain Darren Fletcher defended his former Manchester United team-mate in an interview with BBC Radio 5 live.
"The whole situation is very unfortunate," said the midfielder, 32. "I hear a lot about how professional footballers are detached from the public and they don't mingle any more. This circumstance shows why professionals are scared to do it. He's suffered the consequences of the social media world we live in. Players will be even more guarded now.
"People plaster you all over social media when you're kind enough to take pictures with fans.
"He holds his hands up. It's been blown out of proportion. That's not me defending my friend, Wayne Rooney, that's me defending most footballers who like to let their hair down. He's made a mistake but a genuine one in terms of trying to give a bit of time to fans when he was a bit worse for wear.
"He's the most down to earth guy you'll ever meet. If he gets the chance to socialise with normal people and his guard is down, he's probably let the guard down too far. He's almost been too approachable and down to earth."
England's rugby union coach Eddie Jones appeared to criticise the football set-up when asked about the situation.
"The time we have a curfew is the time we don't have a leadership group in the team," he said. "They are adults. The guys will come back, have a beer and decide when they go to bed."
Rooney's rugby counterpart, England captain Dylan Hartley, agreed with his boss.
"The guys are all adults," said Hartley. "We come back here as a team afterwards, we have recovery on a Sunday and a big Test match to prepare for.
"As soon as we start making rules we have an issue. It is about individual responsibility. I'm not sure about other teams but that's what we do here."
The ban, imposed by Novosibirsk governor Vladimir Gorodetsky, must be enforced over the next three months.
The jobs now barred to foreigners also include preparation of children's food and work in mining or fisheries.
In 2015 net migration to Novosibirsk was 12,365, most from ex-Soviet states.
The region's statistics authority says (in Russian) the number of migrants from the ex-USSR settling in Novosibirsk region rose by 9,822 last year.
Most of the newcomers were immigrants from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine, the Siberian news website Tayga.info reports. However, the region's total population is 2.76m, of whom 1.58m live in the city of Novosibirsk.
The governor's ruling - effective for 2016 - did not explain the motivation for the far-reaching ban affecting foreigners.
Mr Gorodetsky is in United Russia, the party closest to President Vladimir Putin and which dominates the Russian parliament.
According to another Siberian news website, Sib.fm, in Russia last year only the North Caucasus had higher unemployment rates than Siberia.
And a survey of Siberian cities found that youths in Novosibirsk were the poorest on average. It is Russia's third-biggest city, after Moscow and St Petersburg.
A Russian government decision in December granted regional governors the power to restrict foreigners' access to certain jobs.
Spurs hope to complete a deal for the 25-year-old but face competition from their London rivals, who can offer Champions League football.
The Anzhi Makhachkala midfielder has also attracted interest from Liverpool.
If Spurs pull off the signing, it would be the third time this summer they have broken their transfer record.
Speaking after Tottenham's 5-0 Europa League win over Dinamo Tbilisi, boss Andre Villas-Boas said: "We were involved in the game so, unfortunately, I cannot give you further information to what is happening.
"I confirmed [on Wednesday] there was interest in the player, if something happens... everything is possible. I'm not aware of all the circumstances because of our involvement in the game. Neither did I want it to be a distraction for what we achieved tonight."
In July, Tottenham signed Brazil midfielder Paulinho for a fee of just under £17m from Corinthians and earlier this month they spent £26m on Valencia's Spain striker Roberto Soldado. Before this summer, their record fee was the £16.5m paid for Darren Bent from Charlton in 2007.
Chelsea have been less active in the transfer market with the £18m signing of forward Andre Schurrle from Bayer Leverkusen their most expensive signing.
Blues manager Jose Mourinho has seen two bids for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney rejected by the Premier League champions, but the Portuguese boss said they would make a further attempt after the two teams play each other on Monday.
Chelsea already have a wealth of attacking midfielders such as Juan Mata, Oscar, Eden Hazard and Victor Moses with Kevin De Bruyne returning from a loan spell with Werder Bremen last season.
Willian joined Anzhi in January for a reported £30m after five-and-a-half seasons at Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk but he has become available as Anzhi attempt to cut costs after a change in strategy by their owner.
This summer, Spurs have also signed 25-year-old French midfielder Etienne Capoue, 25, for £9m from Ligue 1 club Toulouse and Belgium international winger Nacer Chadli from Dutch club FC Twente for £7m.
The signings come amid continuing rumours about Gareth Bale's future at Spurs. The Wales forward, 24, has been ruled out of action for two weeks by a foot injury, but speculation continues that Real Madrid will make a formal £80m move.
Speaking at a pro-independence event in Edinburgh, Alex Salmond described the three politicians as "Team Westminster".
And he suggested their primary concern was keeping their own jobs.
It came as Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband and Mr Clegg travelled to Scotland ahead of next week's independence referendum,
Recent opinion polls have suggested the referendum race is now neck and neck.
Mr Salmond said: "Today what we have got is an example of Team Scotland against Team Westminster.
"The breadth and reach of the 'Yes' campaign is there for all to see - it is not about the Scottish National Party, the Green Party or political parties. It goes right through the whole sector of Scottish society
"What we are seeing today on the other side is Team Westminster jetting up to Scotland for the day because they are panicking in the campaign.
"Our campaign for example has the key test on jobs. What we are interested in is having a powerhouse parliament that can create jobs for Scotland. What Team Westminster seem to be concerned about is their own jobs."
But Mr Salmond again stressed that the "Yes" campaign was not taking anything for granted with just over a week to go until the referendum on 18 September.
The first minister said: "For the last months, and certainly for the last weeks of the campaign proper, we are engaged in a conversation with our fellow citizens.
"We don't make any assumptions about the poll next week, but nonetheless I think the evidence would indicate that more and more of our fellow citizens are becoming convinced by the arguments being put forward by their fellow citizens in the 'Yes' campaign. The movement to Scotland is decisively towards 'Yes'".
Better Together head Alistair Darling said the nationalists were being "offensive" and "divisive" by labelling themselves as "Team Scotland" and their opponents as "Team Westminster."
He added: "There are many of us in Scotland who are deeply patriotic, but actually take a different view from him, and believe we are better and stronger together as part of the United Kingdom.
"We know what he's hinting at here - that somehow people who are not on his side don't deserve to be heard, they're not truly patriotic, truly Scottish.
"It's deeply offensive to a number of people in Scotland, it's deeply divisive and it's wholly unnecessary."
The birds are often seen wandering around Stansted Mountfitchet from their home at the nearby castle.
One of the peacocks, Percy, is often seen running across roads, especially during the mating season. One peacock was killed on the road in January.
Signs have appeared at three junctions but the parish council and castle said they did not know who put them up.
The signs have been well-received by people commenting on the village Facebook group.
One wrote: "Well I for one would like to say thank you to the peacock sign putter-upper, these signs make me smile every time I see them, and they help keep Percy safe."
Another asked: "Do we have any fast peacocks?"
Jeremy Goldsmith, co-owner of Mountfitchet Castle, said: "There's a real love for the peacocks in the village, although we get the occasional complaint during mating season because Percy can become quite vocal."
The signs "suddenly appeared" overnight, he said. It is thought they were installed late last week.
"Sadly we lost one of our peacocks on a village road in January and It think some good-natured person just took it on themselves to have the signs made up," Mr Goldsmith said.
"It's one of the quirky things that makes the village what it is."
At least 42 were also injured and there are fears the casualties could rise.
The blast in a mainly Shia district in the west of the city struck a bus carrying government employees from the ministry of mines.
The Taliban have said they carried out the attack. Kabul has seen a number of deadly attacks this year blamed on the Taliban or so-called Islamic State.
Security forces cordoned off the area of Monday's blast.
A spokesman for deputy government Chief Executive Mohammad Mohaqiq suggested the attackers may have been trying to target the politician's home but "were stopped by guards".
According to the United Nations, the country has seen at least 1,662 civilian deaths in the first half of the year with around 20% of those in the capital.
On 31 May, a huge bombing in central Kabul killed more than 150 people, the deadliest militant attack in the country since US-led forces ousted the Taliban from power in 2001.
Last month, at least 34 people were killed and 58 injured when a car bomb was detonated outside a bank in the southern province of Helmand.
US President Donald Trump is weighing up whether to increase the number of US troops who are aiding the Afghan military and police.
Most of them were killed by falling trees in the districts of Cox's Bazar and Rangamati, officials told the BBC.
Hundreds of houses were fully or partly damaged, the officials said. Significant damage is reported in refugee camps housing Rohingya Muslims from neighbouring Myanmar.
The authorities have moved hundreds of thousands of people to shelters.
A farmer from Cox's Bazar, Rashid Mia, told the BBC he had lost everything: "The house is gone, all the furniture has also gone. The cyclone damaged my farm equipment. We came to this shelter just to survive."
About 20,000 houses in refugee camps for Rohingya were damaged, community leader Abdus Salam told AFP news agency.
"In some places, almost every shanty, homemade of tin, bamboo and plastic, has been flattened," Mr Salam added. "Some people were injured, but no-one is dead [in the camps]."
Cyclone Mora made landfall at 06:00 local time (00:00 GMT) between the fishing port of Cox's Bazar and the city of Chittagong, with winds of up to 117 km/h (73mph), the country's meteorological department said.
It then weakened as it moved north, heading into India.
In Bangladesh, people were evacuated to shelters, schools and government offices.
Fishing boats and trawlers have been advised to remain in shelters until the late evening. Flights in the area have been cancelled.
Large camps have been set up in Cox's Bazar for hundreds of thousands of Rohingya who have fled violence in Myanmar.
A number of houses were also damaged in western Myanmar.
The Bay of Bengal is prone to storms and Bangladesh is often hit by severe weather during the monsoon season, from the middle to the end of the year.
Last year, Cyclone Roanu hit coastal Bangladesh, leaving at least 24 people dead.
The hosts were bowled out for 239, losing their last five wickets for just 43 runs, with Craig Miles taking 5-54.
Requiring 315 runs from 70 overs for victory at New Road, Joe Leach struck twice as the visitors fell to 141-5.
But Klinger (102 no) hit his second six to reach his ton, sharing 179 for the sixth wicket with Taylor (107 no), his second ton of 2016 against Worcester.
Miles' second five-wicket haul in as many matches saw him dismiss Leach, Ed Barnard and Jack Shantry before he had top scorer Ross Whiteley caught for 71 to end Worcestershire's second innings.
The home side looked to have gained the advantage when Ed Barnard removed Gloucestershire captain Gareth Roderick (30) and Charlie Morris had Graeme van Buuren caught behind for 42.
But Taylor took the attack to the Worcestershire bowlers, while Klinger anchoring the innings from the other end to put the visitors in the ascendency.
Having hit 107 off 72 balls - an innings that included 11 fours and six maximums - Taylor left it to Klinger to secure Gloucestershire's second win of the season.
There have been a remarkable nine centuries in this season's two Championship meetings between Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.
Worcestershire's Joe Clarke recorded his highest first-class score (135) at Bristol in April, before Moeen Ali made an unbeaten final-day 136, to follow the lead of Gloucestershire pair Chris Dent (138 not out) and Jack Taylor (105).
Taylor then followed that up with his 107 at New Road in his unbroken partnership with Michael Klinger, which followed Graeme Van Buuren's gritty first-innings 172 not out.
But home pair Tom Kohler-Cadmore (169) and Jack Shantry (106) both made career-best hundreds in the Worcestershire first innings.
Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes:
"What a great game. Gloucestershire played extremely well. But we are a young side who will learn a lot from days like this.
"The aggressive innings from Jack Taylor was outstanding, but possibly more so was Michael Klinger holding them altogether. Without his stability, they wouldn't have been able to get that score. But they did get that score and sometimes you've got to take your hat off to the opposition.
"There were things we could have done better today but they are a good outfit, a side not prepared to roll down and die, and they thoroughly deserved to win after the way they played in that chase."
Gloucestershire century maker Jack Taylor:
"It was fantastic to get over the line. It is a pretty special feeling. Everyone chipped in. It was a great team effort.
"We were a bit wary of the light affecting things so we said get ourselves in and then take strong options and go from there really.
"As we got towards the end, we tried to up the tempo and make use of the short boundary and it paid off. It was a great innings by Michael Klinger. He has been great for us over the past few years. He is a fantastic player."
The Western Isles again came third in the 2016 Bank of Scotland Children's Quality of Life Survey.
Orkney's winning formula included a high average school spend per pupil, low class sizes and little traffic.
Across Scotland, Highland ranked fourth, with Perth and Kinross coming fifth.
The full Scottish top 10 is:
The average school spend was £9,281 per pupil for Orkney.
This was more than double the British average.
Orkney had one of the lowest population densities in Britain, with 22 people per square km.
This was against the national average of 276.
Shetland was said to have the highest employment rate in Scotland with 89.1%.
Other leading indicators:
Bank of Scotland economist Nitesh Patel said: "The north of Scotland has always done well when we've done this research.
"So it's no surprise that Orkney, the Shetland Islands and Western Isles remain the top three in the 2016 Bank of Scotland Children's Quality of Life Index, across both Scotland and Great Britain.
"Children in these areas benefit from low primary school class sizes, low pupil-to-teacher ratios in secondary schools, excellent exam results and some of the highest school spend per pupil." | Almost 500 animals have died in four years at a zoo where a keeper was mauled to death by a tiger, a report has said.

Ernest Cox masterminded the recovery of 34 ships of the German fleet sunk by their crews in the waters of Scapa Flow at the end of WWI.
Lauded by the media of the day, his work is now all but forgotten.
Relatives unveiled a special plaque at Lyness, where the salvage operations were based, as a reminder.
By 1924, the German fleet had lain submerged throughout the Royal Navy anchorage of Scapa Flow for five years and the accepted wisdom was that this was where they would remain.
However Mr Cox was determined to raise as much of the valuable metal from the seabed as he could and bought the rights to salvage the fleet.
He developed methods to help refloat the ships, many of which are still used in marine salvage to this day.
Mr Cox bought a massive floating dry dock which he modified and fitted out with rows of winches.
He also used compressed air to bring up vessels.
The remaining wrecks today attract divers from around the world. | A ceremony has taken place in Orkney to commemorate what is regarded as one of the most remarkable feats of marine salvage ever achieved. | 10,800,786 | 221 | 31 | false |

The 66-year-old pedestrian was hit by a van near a row of shops in Croydon on Friday evening. He died at the scene.
The van did not stop after the crash, but a 34-year-old man later handed himself in, the Met said.
He has been arrested on suspicion of failing to stop at the scene of an accident and causing death by dangerous driving. He remains in custody.
Detectives have appealed for witnesses to the incident, which happened at about 17:45 GMT at the King Henry's Drive junction and Calley Down Crescent in New Addington.
If the R&A is serious about making golf more accessible and welcoming, it cannot stage the game's oldest event at clubs that exclude female members.
The Muirfield based Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, have, at best, been left to look out of touch with modern thinking. At worst, they look like a bunch of selfish bigots who have no place at the top of the game.
The perception is that women are not allowed on the privately-owned links course in East Lothian, which is one of the finest in the world. In fact, they have been playing there since 1904 and, in 2015, played in the region of 370 rounds as visitors or guests of members.
Still, there is considerable anger and disappointment at the result among members of the Muirfield board.
Sources close to the club suggest they will explore the opportunities of staging another ballot. One said they might ask for a simple majority vote next time, instead of a two-thirds requirement.
Another said overseas members might be allowed to take part in the decision-making process after being denied this time.
Whatever happens, Muirfield's decision reflects badly on a sport that is trying to shed its elitist image as it seeks to arrest a decline in participation numbers.
It has staged the Open 16 times since it was first played there in 1892 and its roll call of champions is a who's who of the game. In 2013, Phil Mickelson joined a list that includes Ernie Els, Sir Nick Faldo, Tom Watson, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus and Sir Henry Cotton.

It is a great course, arguably the finest in the UK, and one that has always identified great champions. But that is not enough in the modern era.
The Open is golf's showcase and the clubs that host it should reflect its name.
The R&A and its new chief executive, Martin Slumbers, will be congratulated on taking such decisive action. It is a huge move, one that departs from the previous line that the quality of the venue is the paramount concern.
The R&A's decision also increases the pressure on Royal Troon, which stages this year's Open jointly with Troon Ladies, who also use the Ayrshire course.
Royal Troon is currently deciding whether to change its all-male membership policy - and it is clear it will need to if it is to remain an Open venue beyond this year.
With Royal Portrush joining the rota, the R&A can afford to lose the two remaining men-only clubs, although, in purely golfing terms, the Open will be the poorer for not using such magnificent courses.
That, though, is of secondary importance to a game that still suffers a big image problem.
Muirfield's decision did nothing to help in that regard, but the R&A's response turned what could have been a very damaging day for golf into a much more positive one.
Classical music has been pumped into the Edwardian Prince's Tunnel, linking Dartford's Central Park with Brooklands Lakes, for the past four years.
Jeremy Kite, leader of Conservative-controlled Dartford Borough Council, said initially the music was played to uplift people using the tunnel.
But he said it was soon apparent that any vandals were leaving it alone.
He said: "We weren't getting any of the anticipated graffiti and none of the damage you'd normally expect in an urban tunnel.
"The only difference between this subway and other subways in the town is the fact that we're playing classical music."
The music has been played in the tunnel since it was renovated for the benefit of the town's residents and visitors after falling into disuse.
Mr Kite said the installation of the music and the lighting system in the tunnel cost just less than £20,000, and was "money very well spent".
"The impact has been enormous," he added.
Two men, aged 20 and 24, died after an Audi travelling at high speed struck two parked cars in Wilbraham Road, Whalley Range, on Wednesday.
A 21-year-old man who was also injured in the crash has died from his injuries, police have said.
Two males, aged 17 and 19, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. The 19-year-old was later de-arrested.
The 17-year-old was released on bail until 11 June.
The crash happened close to Whalley Range High School and police are appealing for any witnesses to contact them.
We're hiding inside caves. We have nothing - no food and no water.
We've been under siege for four days. We eat once a day - either in the morning or at night.
We've managed to get some basic food supplies from neighbouring areas, but three children died today because of starvation. Seven women and children have died since yesterday because of dehydration.
A lot of the people here have disabilities or suffer from serious illnesses like diabetes. It's 50C here and we're being bombarded indiscriminately.
We need help. Until now, no humanitarian aid has been delivered and no help provided by aid organisations - not the Red Cross or the Red Crescent, or even the United Nations. The Iraqi government and the Iraqi president have not helped. Nothing at all.
There are clashes going on between the Islamic State [IS] and the Yazidis. But we don't have weapons so what are we supposed to do?
When IS fighters arrived in Sinjar, they said there was no place for us in the area and that we had to leave. But where can we go? When they attacked Mosul, many people fled to Sinjar.
The Peshmerga [Kurdish fighters] have not helped us at all. We haven't seen any of their soldiers. When they found out that IS was coming to shell Sinjar, they all left for Kurdistan.
On top of all the persecution and humiliation we have suffered, IS fighters now want to kill us. They want to slaughter us.

Tests are yet to establish the strain, but the H5N1 form, deadly to humans, has been ruled out, Liz Truss said.
About 6,000 birds will be culled from Tuesday as a precaution and a 6 mile (10km) exclusion zone is in place.
Ms Truss repeated reassurances that there was no risk to food safety.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said the flu strain at the farm in the village of Nafferton had been identified as the H5 virus, but not the H5N1 strain. That strain has led to hundreds of deaths worldwide, although none have been in northern Europe.
European Commission officials say the outbreak is likely to be linked to migratory birds - possibly swans - heading south for winter, and cases in the Netherlands at the weekend and Germany earlier in the month.
The EC said the UK and the Netherlands were applying its directives to control the spread of the virus.
They also include the introduction of cleaning and disinfection areas, and a ban on the sale of live poultry, eggs, poultry meat and other poultry products from the restricted zones to other countries.
In her statement to MPs, Ms Truss said: "Importantly, the chief medical officer and Public Health England have confirmed the risk to public health is very low.
"It is important to note this disease is highly pathogenic for birds but the Foods Standards Agency has advised that avian flu does not pose a food safety risk."
She added: "We have seen a really good effort, I am clear we need to keep that up, to make sure we stamp out this disease."
Amid concern further cases could be spread by wild birds, Ms Truss said compensation would paid to farmers adversely affected by the outbreak.
The sight of Defra officials, clad in protective clothing and planning the cull of 6,000 ducks is something no farmer wants to see.
But this community wants this virus stopped in its tracks here at the duck farm in Nafferton.
There are 2.5 million farmed birds in East Yorkshire alone, spread over 50 units. They include 500,000 ducks and more than one million hens. All of them are vulnerable to this highly contagious strain of Avian Flu.
The six mile exclusion zone around the infected farm was enforced from first light and could last for weeks. Within the zone the movement of all poultry is completely prohibited.
A biosecurity measure which in itself will already be having an impact on local businesses.
But perhaps what will worry farmers most is the suspected source of this outbreak. It is not believed to be the industry's supply chain but rather the droppings of wild birds, migrating in their thousands across Europe, with no regard for exclusion zones and completely beyond anyone's control.
A private vet reported a possible case of bird flu at the Nafferton farm on Friday morning and the disease was confirmed the following day.
Ms Truss said: "It is essential anyone keeping poultry practises good biosecurity, is vigilant for any signs of disease and seeks prompt advice from their vet."
The case is the first in the UK since 2008, when chickens on a farm in Banbury, Oxfordshire, tested positive for the virus.
On Sunday, an outbreak of a highly contagious strain of bird flu was discovered at a poultry farm in the Netherlands. The Dutch government has imposed a three-day nationwide ban on the transportation of poultry and eggs.
Officials say the strain identified in the Netherlands, H5N8, is very dangerous for bird life and could potentially spread to humans, although people can only be infected through very close contact with the affected birds.
The European Commission said the "information available indicates that the H5 virus in the UK is probably identical to the H5N8... virus found in the Netherlands and in Germany".
On Monday, specialists dressed in blue protective overalls and face masks could be seen on the Nafferton farm.
The Animal and Plant Health Agency, a Defra agency, said the culling of the livestock will begin on Tuesday morning and is expected to last all day.
In the Commons, shadow environment secretary Maria Eagle questioned whether officials should operate on a "precautionary principle" until it was clear what the source of the bird flu was.
"Would this not impact on measures ought to be taken to contain it," she said.
Ms Trust told MPs: "Whilst we are never complacent about such an important issue, we do have a strong track record of controlling and eliminating outbreaks of avian flu in the UK and we are working closely with operational partners, devolved administration colleagues and the industry to deal effectively with this outbreak."
Chris Dickinson, the National Farmers Union county adviser for Yorkshire, said farmers needed to maintain good hygiene measures and check their stock to help prevent a spread.
British Poultry Council chief executive Andrew Large reiterated the message from scientists that the risk to the general public in the UK from bird flu is negligible.
"Consumers should continue to support British poultry meat, assured that there is no risk in eating cooked poultry, and that is a message echoed by the Food Standards Agency and the World Health Organization," he said.
A panel will be appointed to choose an artist and design for the tribute, which will be unveiled in summer 2017.
The public was asked to vote on a preferred site for the memorial.
A separate consultation will be held for a memorial for the victims of the Tunisian terrorist attacks in 2015.
Mr Cameron said: "These memorials will be places where the family and friends of people killed in terrorist attacks can reflect and remember.
"By building them we are underlining our pledge to never forget the victims of these atrocities."
The panel will be led by former overseas development minister Baroness Chalker.
Manning, 40, denied claims, aired by Al Jazeera, that he took human growth hormone after neck surgery in 2011.
The NFL said he was "fully co-operative" with the investigation.
Quarterback Manning won the NFL's most valuable player award five times and retired after winning the Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos last season.
The NFL said investigations would continue into allegations made against other players.
Green Bay Packers duo Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, their former team-mate Mike Neal, and James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers were also named in the Al Jazeera report.
All four have denied wrongdoing.
Masood Mansouri was jailed for 13 years at Chester Crown Court for the kidnap and rape of Ceri Linden, 20, last year.
She flagged down Mansouri's car in Chester thinking it was a taxi, but she was taken to his house and attacked.
North Wales Police said his conviction was thanks to her "powerful" video interview, which was played to jurors.
They added it was a "tragedy" that she had not seen the outcome of her bravery.
The Crown Prosecution Service said Ms Linden, from Colwyn Bay, stopped the car in the early hours of 10 August and thought she was going to be taken to a bar where her friends were.
After Mansouri, 33, attacked her, she hid behind bushes close to his home and called her friends for help.
The mother-of-one was found dead at her home days after the police interview. An inquest has yet to take place.
Mansouri was sentenced to six years for the offence of kidnap, 10 years for sexual assault, and 13 years for rape, all to run concurrently.
Det Insp Claire Coleman, head of Cheshire Police's rape unit, said: "So powerful was the account provided by Ceri that her video evidence was used to bring Mansouri to trial.
"The court heard the victim describe in her own words what Mansouri had put her through. This is a brave lady, who found the courage to tell her story.
"The tragedy of this case is that our victim achieved so much, but will not share the outcome. Our thoughts are with her family."
In a statement, Miss Linden's mother, Eleri, described her daughter as "intelligent, caring and kind-hearted".
She said: "Losing her has left a hole in our lives which can never be filled and a pain in our hearts which will never heal.
"Ceri's lovely little daughter, Bethan, has to grow up without her beautiful mummy."
The Colombian joined United on-loan from Monaco in September but has scored just four goals in 28 appearances.
Falcao, 29, has only started one of United's last eight Premier League matches - the 1-0 loss at Chelsea.
"Even if he's unhappy not to be in the starting XI, he has to accept the coach's decisions," Carmenza Zarate told Colombian newspaper El Espectador.
"I often remind him that after a test or a difficulty, blessings arrive. If God shows him a new path, he'll leave Manchester; if not, he'll stay. We hope for bigger and better things.
"God hasn't abandoned us and my son will become again what he has been, a goal scorer."
Before his move to Old Trafford, Falcao was one of the most prolific strikers in the world with 104 goals in 139 games for Porto, Atletico Madrid and Monaco.
He suffered an anterior cruciate ligament in January 2014 that kept him out of the World Cup before joining United in September.
However, Falcao, who earns approximately £265,000-a-week at United, has not scored since his goal against Leicester City on 31 January.
Ms Zarate added: "It's not a normal situation given what he has experienced in his career, but it happens in football.
"Not everything has been easy in Falcao's life. He has had some difficult moments in his career.
"They slowed his progress and prevented him from participating in important competitions like the World Cup, or have confined him to the bench, like in Manchester."
The official Scottish government statistics showed a total of 246,243 crimes were recorded by Police Scotland last year - a drop of 4% since 2014/15.
However, the figures showed a 7% increase in sex crimes, the highest number since 1971.
Ministers said this included a significant number of historical cases.
Senior officers said the statistics also partly reflected an increased level of confidence in reporting sex crime.
Police Scotland recorded more than 10,000 sexual crimes last year - 53% more than in 2006/07.
The police clear-up rate for all crimes stood at 51.6% - an increase of 1.2 percentage points on the previous year
The National Statistics publication for the Scottish government also found:
Cabinet Secretary for Justice Michael Matheson said the increased number of sexual crimes included a "significant number" of historical cases.
He said he was pleased with the statistics and grateful for the "excellent work" of Scotland's police officers and their colleagues in other agencies.
He added: "While higher levels of recorded sexual crime are broadly in line with UK trends, include a significant number of historical cases and may reflect greater willingness by victims to come forward, such incidents are completely unacceptable.
"This is why we have taken tough action to ensure perpetrators are brought to justice.
"Since 2006-07 we have also invested more than £10.5m in a range of violence reduction programmes during which time violent crime has more than halved (down 52%) and is at its second lowest level since 1974.
"Today's report also indicates that female victims of common assault were far more likely than men to be assaulted by a partner or ex-partner - underlining why the Scottish government has committed an additional £20m over three years to tackle violence against women, alongside our plan to strengthen legislation against all forms of domestic abuse."

52% drop in violent crime since 2006/07.
58% fall in fire-raising, vandalism, etc in last decade.
Deputy Chief Constable Iain Livingstone said the overall recorded "crime picture" was largely positive.
But he added: "The increase in the report of sexual crime is in part a reflection of the increased level of confidence the public has in reporting this type of crime to the police with the knowledge that every complaint will be handled sensitively and professionally. This equally applies to reports of historical abuse.
"We recognise the increase in crimes of violence and although this remains low in a historical context, we continue to work with partners in communities to tackle violence and address the influence that alcohol plays in many of these crimes.
"The recorded crime statistics are an important barometer on the level of service that the public get from Police Scotland, but they are only part of the picture.
"On a daily basis officers and staff provide help, advice and assistance on many different subjects ranging from anti-social behaviour, missing persons and mental health issues.
"In addition, we are developing a better understanding of the demands on modern policing in relation to issues such as cybercrime and online child exploitation which will be a focus for us in the future.
"Police Scotland will continue to engage with the public to identify issues in local communities across Scotland that will direct and inform the shape of policing for the future."
Matt Forde, national head of service for NSPCC Scotland, said: "While overall recorded crime is falling in Scotland it is extremely concerning that the level of sexual crimes against children continues to rise.
"The figures will partially reflect the improved reporting by police, historical offences and the confidence in victims of coming forward but we know from our own research that the number of child sex offences reported to police continues to rise.
"It is vital that the Scottish government, Police Scotland and others tackle this very real problem with the urgency it needs."
On Tuesday night, 500 (£6) and 1,000 rupee (£12) notes were removed from public circulation as part of a crackdown on corruption and illegal cash holdings.
This has led to millions queuing up outside banks across India to exchange their old notes for new 500 and 2,000 rupee (£24) ones and machines running out of cash.
Here are some of the stories from holidaymakers caught up in the situation.
"I have been in Goa since Diwali and took out 30,000 rupees (£356) - in three sets of 10,000 rupees (£118) ATM transactions - which is the maximum allowed for foreign debit cards before the notes were declared invalid.
"I have so far not been able to exchange them because either the banks have no money or if you do find one with money and wait in the long queue, then they are only exchanging a maximum of 4,000 rupees (£48).
"Luckily some of the restaurants I go to are still accepting the old notes and so I can get fed and then rely on the small change to buy my daily incidentals like water, fruit etc.
"Sadly the waiters do not get a tip from me as those small notes are so precious, but I have promised them a big tip when I manage to finally exchange some of my money.
"Some businesses take credit cards, but in Goa where I am, there are very few places that take them unless you are staying at a top hotel, which I am not.
"The other problem is if you do manage to get your hands on the new 2,000 rupee notes (£24) the small sellers are reluctant to take them as they do not have enough small denomination notes to give you.
"The majority of the Indian population is poor and it is horrendous the impact this is having on them. Also, the country relies on tourism - November is when visitors start going to India because of the good weather. But the situation could affect the tourist industry and put people off from visiting.
The government is telling people not to panic and all will be OK but it is definitely not OK and everyone is totally occupied with this ridiculous situation. I do feel this is India's Brexit and Trump rolled into one - good luck India because you will need it."
"We are on holiday at Baga Beach in Goa. There is no liquidity at all - the banks haven't opened and there is no chance to change money anywhere.
"I've walked miles and gone into every travel agent and every cash machine. Only one ATM was working but only briefly. By the time I got halfway down the queue the cash had run out.
"A couple of days ago some restaurants took dollars, but now they are unable to give you change.
"I met an old British couple who were very worried and have gone down to their last 1,000 rupees (£12). I advised them to eat and drink at the hotel only and charge it to their room as hotels will take Visa cards. Almost nowhere else takes Visas, even supermarkets that do are slow.
"There was no cash at the airport and they advised us to take dollars, but even this is now a problem."
"This is our first time in Goa and we read the safest way was to use ATMs but they have had no cash in them since last Thursday.
"Fortunately the supermarkets take credit cards, but nearly all the restaurants and bars only deal in cash and we have none left and we have one more week here.
"One restaurant here in Benaulim, Goa has been very helpful. Because we were regulars there for the last week, they allowed us to put our meal and drinks on a tab, so we can pay them back when we have some cash. We planned to do an excursion but had to cancel as we had no money to pay for it.
"Local traders are losing so much business, as everyone is finding it difficult to acquire the new notes.
"It's an absolute shambles! I understand why the Indian government has done it, but surely they should have prepared for it better and made sure there was plenty of the new notes distributed throughout India."
"I am holiday in India and I have an Indian bank account.
"I normally use the ATM to draw cash and could draw 10,000 rupees per day (£118). Now it's just 2,000 rupees (£24) and the ATM will now not let me withdraw money on my UK Visa card.
"On Sunday I rode over 15 miles round my area in Panji, Goa and found one ATM open. I queued for one hour to get 2,000 rupees, in 100 rupee notes - the only currency right now.
"It is very serious for small businesses, working people and especially 'virgin' tourists who cannot use credit in shops and restaurants or can't find banks and so have no money."

The fast food chain said like-for-like revenue rose by 3.5% in the three months to September.
Shares in the company rose after it beat analysts' forecasts of a 1.5% increase in revenue.
McDonald's is in the process of a major turnaround plan after a sustained period of falling sales.
Areas such as the UK, Australia, Canada and Germany performed strongly over the quarter and increased like-for-like sales by 3.3%.
McDonald's also raised sales in the US, which it said was suffering from "industry softness". China weighed on its "high-growth" markets, which include countries such as Russia, because of strong comparative sales and "protests related to events surrounding the South China Sea".
However, it made gains and like-for-like sales in its high-growth markets rose 1.5%.
Steve Easterbrook, president and chief executive of McDonald's, said: "Looking ahead, we are focused on growing global comparable sales and serving more customers while being mindful of the near-term challenges in several markets."
The company has introduced a number of initiatives to attract customers, including adding new items its all day breakfasts, including biscuits, McMuffins and McGriddles.
Neil Saunders, chief executive of Conlumino, the retail research and consultancy group, said one of the challenges McDonald's faced was widening its appeal.
He said: "While the menu changes have drawn in more customers, they have not completely reinvigorated the brand with younger consumer segments, many of whom still shun the chain in favour of what they see as more premium and satisfying offerings from players like Shake Shack."
A hacker using the name Tessa88 is asking for 10 bitcoins (£4,000) from anyone that wants to copy the list.
It is not yet clear whether the list is genuine or how it has been compiled. Some reports suggest it brings together data stolen from users by malware.
In a statement, Twitter said it was "confident" that the data did not emerge from a breach of its network.
Information about the list emerged in a blog entry on the website of a company called Leaked Source, which has built a database of login data that has been stolen or leaked.
It said the dataset shared with it by Tessa88 contained 32,888,300 records - each one of which listed an email address, username and password.
"We have very strong evidence that Twitter was not hacked, rather the consumer was," said the company in its blog.
This has been taken to mean that the list has been compiled using data stolen by a virus that returned it to whoever ran the campaign to infect people.
Analysis of information supplied with the dataset suggested it had been gathered this way, said Leaked Source.
Other information, such as a breakdown of where most victims live, provided further evidence that it had not come from Twitter, it added.
Leaked Source said it had taken steps to verify a small number of the email accounts and passwords in the list were genuine. ZDNet said two staff members found on the list verified that the password listed next to their name was accurate but one other staffer said their details were incorrect.
A breakdown of email addresses in the list revealed that Russian accounts feature prominently. Russian email addresses make up more than 7.4 million of the total number of login credentials in the list.
In a tweet sent soon after it blogged about the data going on sale, Leaked Source said it had been contacted by Twitter's security staff who would now "forcibly" protect users from the data in the list.
Separately, Twitter's security boss Michael Coates confirmed it was working with Leaked Source on using credential data in the list to help users.
He added: "We have investigated reports of Twitter usernames/passwords on the dark web, and we're confident that our systems have not been breached."
In another statement, Twitter said it had been "working to help keep accounts protected by checking our data against what's been shared from recent other password leaks".
Security expert Troy Hunt, who runs a website that lets people check if their login names and accounts are in data breaches shared online, expressed some scepticism about the leak.
"Just because we've seen some serious breaches recently doesn't mean we should assume new ones are legit," he said.
He advised people to change their Twitter password if it was weak or if people had used the same one for other online services.
The sale of the Twitter data comes soon after huge amounts of login data from MySpace and Tumblr were widely shared. Earlier in May, millions of records about LinkedIn credentials were offered for sale online.
Daniel May, 25, who was quadriplegic, blind and had cerebral palsy following an operation aged six months, passed away during Sunday's 0-0 draw.
His father Kevin, a Plymouth fan, was informed of the death while watching the game at Anfield.
A banner will be displayed at the cup replay between the sides on Wednesday.
Fans will also join a minute's applause on the 25th minute.
More on this story, plus more Devon and Cornwall news
The banner was expected to cost £150. The remaining funds from the fundraising campaign will go to the Royal Surrey County Hospital, where Daniel died.
In a message to Kevin May, 53, organiser Anthony Grice said: "This is to say we are thinking of you."
The Liverpool businessman added: "What happened to Kevin is every father's nightmare.
"I am a father myself, but even if you are not you can't help but feel sympathy for what he went through."
Mr May was told on the phone that Daniel had died as he watched the game alongside thousands of Plymouth supporters.
The distraught dad, who was taken to a quiet room away from the crowd after receiving the tragic news, later thanked a policeman and staff at Anfield for their support.
In response to the fundraising, he said: "I think it's wonderful and would be a fitting tribute to Daniel and a real comfort to his mum and family.
"When I heard a funding page had been set up for a banner for Daniel, that just made me cry. It's truly outstanding."
Mr Grice said he could not attend Wednesday's replay at Argyle's Home Park ground but the banner would be displayed by other Liverpool fans.

Barcelona want to invite teams into the competition that have not qualified through their league position.
Major English sides discussed it and Bolingbroke uses Serie A to show how a club's history can carry more weight.
"The TV income distribution here is based on performance not just in the last year but the last five and last 50," he said. "There is merit in that."
News of the Premier League's most wealthy clubs meeting to talk about the concept was greeted with scepticism, particularly as three of them - Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea - would not qualify for next season's Champions League on their current Premier League performance.
Like the three English clubs, Inter Milan are a former Champions League winner, lifting the last of three titles in 2010, when Jose Mourinho was in charge.
They have not qualified for the tournament since 2012 and did not play in any European competition for the second time in three seasons this term.
Bolingbroke said: "There are clubs who have not got to the competitions they think they need to. Many of these clubs have huge fan bases. That drives Uefa and drives revenues.
"The question is: do you need to find a balance between that and having the clubs in the competition that have performed well in the last 12 months?
"The conversations we have had with Uefa indicate to me that they fully understand what the concerns are and are going to address them."
In relative terms, Inter's income is falling.
The Italian club were 19th in the 2016 Deloitte Money League with a turnover of £114.45m. However, by the time the new Premier League TV deal takes effect at the start of next season, they may not be able to match the incomes of teams such as Stoke and Crystal Palace.
"The league in Italy is slipping and it needs to make some changes," said Bolingbroke. "It requires an embracing of international markets as well as domestic.
"Rather than being concerned by Stoke or Palace, as a club and a league we need to learn from the Premier League.
"It is not an accident the Premier League is doing as well as it is. It has taken years of planning. When you see a Premier League game, every seat is sold. The lighting is better. The grass is greener. It is one of those products you see on TV and say 'I wish I was there'. When you see a match and the stadiums are half empty it doesn't have the same appeal."
Inter estimate they have 265 million fans worldwide, of which 190 million are in Asia.
Yet four of their next five fixtures are evening games and their past six league games, including Saturday's 1-1 draw at Roma, were also played under floodlights.
Bolingbroke, former chief operating officer at Manchester United, feels it is a major flaw in the drive for increased commercial income.
"When we broadcast matches at 20:45 it is the middle of the night in Asia, so we miss 75% of our fan base," he said.
"Decisions like that need to be discussed at the league. People want to see matches live. That is the excitement of football. It is not much good when the game is shown at 03:00."
With a capacity in excess of 80,000 the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza - San Siro - used by both Inter and AC Milan is the fourth largest club ground in Europe and will host the 2016 Champions League final.
Opened in 1926, it was refurbished for the 1990 World Cup, when it hosted the opening game between Argentina and Cameroon.
It has only 30 executive suites compared to 146 at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. Inter's matchday income in 2014-15 was £16.9m, 63% of Newcastle's £26.8m.
"In the UK, most stadiums are owned by the clubs so if the owner wants to invest in it, they can," said Bolingbroke.
"In Italy it is slightly different. Most of the stadiums are owned by the local councils, so they need to see the business case for doing the refurbishment. That makes it more complicated. The Italian economy has gone through difficult times in recent years as well, so money has been prioritised in other areas.
"But there is an understanding that investment is needed. As a league, we need to prioritise that."
Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir bought a 70% stake in Inter in October 2013. Of the 18 Serie A clubs, only Roma and Bologna also have overseas owners.
Bolingbroke says it is only by widening their ownership, as the Premier League has done, that new ideas will be generated to give the Italian league a chance of returning itself to the position of the 1980s, when it was able to attract top stars such as Diego Maradona, Michel Platini and Marco van Basten.
Some of the problems England was forced to tackle three decades ago, specifically racism and hooliganism, are an issue in Italy now.
Inter boss Roberto Mancini spoke out after his side's Coppa Italia game against Napoli in January, accusing opposition coach Maurizio Sarri of making homophobic slurs towards him. Sarri was given a two-match touchline ban and fined £15,000 for "highly offensive" comments.
"You can draw parallels with what we are facing here and what England faced in the mid to late 1980s," said Bolingbroke.
"But it is a minority who act in that way and there is a will to deal with it."
In the short term, Inter are battling to qualify for next season's Champions League. They are fifth, five points behind Roma, who occupy the third and final slot.
Beyond that, Bolingbroke is pushing forward with a job he began in July 2014.
"Inter is built on an extraordinary heritage," he said. "We are probably one of the top 10 football clubs in the world from a brand perspective.
"I would like to see Inter in a position in the Deloitte table that reflects its position in the brand table.
"That would mean we were back playing Champions League football on a consistent basis, that we were filling a renovated San Siro, that we were pulling in audiences across the world, which would mean kick-off times had been moved and we would be playing in the afternoon. That would be a great legacy."
This year's series marked the third year of the 100 Women season, which seeks to better represent women in the BBC's international news output.
It concluded with a live page online, unprecedented in its size.
More than 120 groups across the world came together on the BBC News online to debate the pressures on women to conform, especially around image, leadership and relationships.
Highlights from our live page included:
Our season included a rare glimpse into life as a woman in Raqqa, the so-called Islamic State's (IS) capital inside Syria. We also heard about what it was like to finally be given a name from the girls in India named 'unwanted' at birth.
Nurses in conflict zones from Gaza, Caracas and the Central African Republic told us what is is like working in some of the world's most challenging environments and the numbers behind the profession were bought to life in this neat animation.
Teenagers from Siberia to Syria told us what it means to fit in as a 'good girl' in their society, and revealed what their lives are really like.
We also included several high-profile interviews, such as with US make-up mogul Bobbi Brown. South Sudanese supermodel Alek Wek and American actress Hilary Swank.
And we explored some of the issues facing women today, such as a largely guilt-free abortion, or the decision not to have children.
Our list of the 100 most inspirational women across the world in 2015 included 30 entrepreneurs under the age of 30 and inspiring women over the age of 80.
It spanned the world, from Li Tingting, an openly gay women's rights activist in China, to Eveles Chimala, a midwife in Malawi, Jana el-Hassan, a Lebanese novelist and Megan Grano, an American comedian.
Leaders in science, politics, education and the arts were also included.
Emergency services were called to Trem y Garnedd shortly after 09:00 BST on Monday.
The woman was found seriously injured and was taken to hospital where she later died.
The man, believed to have left the property earlier the same morning, was arrested in Felinheli. Police are not looking for anyone else.
Specialist officers are supporting the woman's family.

Its Premier League Primary Stars scheme aims to boost learning by tying education to football.
"We're doing it because we can," chief executive Richard Scudamore said.
"Young people are engaged by Premier League football. You can see the impact it has," he added.
Sky and BT Sport paid £5.136bn for TV rights until 2019-20, with clubs criticised for how the money is used.
However, Scudamore feels that criticism is unfair - the Primary Stars scheme is the latest in a long line of community projects supported by football. "The clubs have been doing all this for over 20 years," he said.
"They have huge involvement in their local communities, and yet the message never gets across."
However, he stressed top-flight clubs are not seeking "credit" by getting involved in the project.
Premier League Primary Stars will provide free resources linked to the national curriculum to boys and girls aged five to 11.
After the initial reach, Scudamore says he hopes the scheme will extend to every primary school in England and Wales by 2022.
The initiative will supply free to download lesson plans, activities and video content in Maths, English, Physical Education (PE) and Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE).
Scudamore added that schools located close to professional football teams could also benefit from club coaches coming into schools to assist with PE lessons.
The programme aims to use the appeal of Premier League clubs "to inspire children to learn, be active and develop important life skills" - an impact Scudamore says the clubs already see in their involvement in community projects.
"We do an awful lot of this anyway - the clubs have been doing a lot of work in communities, a lot of our clubs are involved in schools, not just Premier League clubs but English Football League clubs too," he said.
"Nobody out there really knows - clearly those actively involved know - but many parents will not be aware that these things are happening."
Despite a fall in viewing figures for live Premier League games, Scudamore says the organisation is "not seeing any diminishment" in the interest in football of primary school students.
"The take up is going to be enormous because the one thing we all know is if you can attach footballers to education then it does improve the engagement of young people," he added.
"Hopefully some hearts and minds will alter in their perceptions towards what the Premier League stands for."
The organisers of Record Store Day 2015, which will take place on 18 April, have announced this year's list of exclusive releases.
The annual event started in 2007 in America to celebrate the culture of independent record stores, with the UK following the year after.
As with previous years the list, made up of more than 500 acts, is a mix of new and more established artists.
Mumford and Sons will be teasing fans with a 7" single containing two unreleased tracks from their upcoming album Wilder Mind, while Foo Fighters have announced an exclusive Record Store Day 10" called Songs from the Laundry Room containing never before heard tracks and demos.
Dave Grohl is the official ambassador of Record Store Day 2015.
The Foo Fighters frontman will lead the festivities on the day, with events taking place on every continent except Antarctica.
The 1975, Chvrches, George Ezra, Gorgon City and Calvin Harris are also among the newer names on the list of releases.
Other names including Biffy Clyro, Django Django and Imagine Dragons will be releasing singles and albums on vinyl.
Classic releases by Bob Marley, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix and The Kinks will also be available.
The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr will also be releasing and a special 7" cover of Depeche Mode's I feel You as well as a live Smiths track.
More than one million vinyl records were sold in the UK last year - the first time the milestone has been reached since 1996.
The Official Chart Company has also said it will soon launch a weekly vinyl chart.

The 68-year-old Netherlands great and three-time Ballon d'Or winner was told of his illness this week after tests.
"Thank you for all your support," said the former Ajax player on Twitter.
Cruyff's son, former Manchester United midfielder Jordi, also said: "Thanks a lot for your supportive messages. Much appreciated."
Cruyff helped his country reach the World Cup final in 1974, where they lost to West Germany.
He also won three consecutive European Cups with Ajax and went on to play and manage at Barcelona, with both clubs sending out messages of support.
Former Ajax, Manchester United, Juventus and Fulham goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, now a director at the Dutch club, said: "On behalf of the club, I wish Johan and his family a lot of strength and a speedy recovery."
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu tweeted: "Johan, you'll win this one too. The whole club is behind you."
While in charge at the Spanish club, he led them to their first European Cup win in 1992 and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1989.
They also won four consecutive La Liga titles from 1990-91 to 1993-94.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Cruyff had a double heart bypass surgery in 1991.
Having been a smoker, he gave up immediately after the operation and took to sucking lollipops in the dugout.
He featured in a Catalan health department advert, saying: "Football has given me everything in life, tobacco almost took it all away."
His last managerial appointment came at the Catalonia national team, where he was in charge from 2009 to 2013.
Anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd released the images, which it said showed a dead minke whale on a Japanese vessel on Sunday.
It comes two days after Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrived in Sydney to bolster defence ties with Australia.
Australia's Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg said it was not necessary to kill whales for study.
"The Australian Government is deeply disappointed that Japan has decided to return to the Southern Ocean this summer to undertake so-called 'scientific' whaling,'" he said on Monday.
"Australia is opposed to all forms of commercial and so-called 'scientific' whaling." Japan's whaling has been ruled illegal by the Australian Federal Court.
A global moratorium on commercial whaling has been in place since 1985, with exemptions that allowed Japan to hunt some whales for "scientific research".
But in 2014 the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Japan's scientific Antarctic whaling programme should cease. Tokyo suspended whaling for one season but announced it would soon begin another "scientific" whaling programme, drawing criticism from environmental groups and the Australian and UK governments.
Japan insists it is trying to prove the whale population is large enough to justify a return to whaling for commercial purposes. It says it has to kill the mammals and study them in order to carry out its research.
Sea Shepherd said the photos showed the Japanese vessel Nisshin Maru inside the Australian Whale Sanctuary on Sunday.
The boat's crew "scrambled" to cover the dead whale with a tarpaulin after spotting the anti-whaling group's helicopter, Sea Shepherd said.
Two smaller boats, the Yushin Maru and Yushin Maru #2, also covered their harpoons, the group claimed.
"The fact that the Japanese crew went to cover up their harpoons and the dead minke whale on deck just shows that they know what they're doing is wrong," said Wyanda Lublink, captain of Sea Shepherd ship the MY Steve Irwin.
Sea Shepherd said it was the first minke slaughter to be documented since the ICJ ruling.
Sea Shepherd has been patrolling the Southern Ocean for five weeks.
Jeff Hansen, managing director of Sea Shepherd Australia, said the Australian government should do more to protect whales.

The Manchester United youngster's header just 17 minutes into his international debut proved the difference at the Racecourse as Wales won 1-0.
This game in Wrexham in May 1984 would prove to be the final Home Nations Championship meeting.
Catch BBC Wales Sport's "Wales: The Road to the Euros" - our very special documentary on the history of Welsh football - on BBC iPlayer.
One of the homes attacked belonged to a 27-year-old man arrested last month as part of an investigation into dissident republican activity.
He was later released without charge.
Men smashed windows and damaged the door of a Seahill Road house at about 01:20 BST. A house on Fleet Street was attacked at roughly the same time.
A couple in their 20s and their young son - who were in the Seahill Road house at the time - were not injured.
At the Fleet Street property, damage was caused to the inside of the house as well as to windows and a door.
Again, a couple in their 20s who were in the house at the time were not injured.
The PSNI are working to establish whether there is a link between the two incidents and a car later found burned out in a field at Walnut Avenue in the town.
Sinn Féin MLA Oliver McMullan has condemned those responsible for the attacks, and called on the PSNI to dedicate additional resources to the Larne area.
Mr McMullan said: "Attacks of this nature are becoming all too prevalent in Larne.
"There is a palpable fear within the local community as these attacks continue.
"There is a need to address this violence and intimidation as it cannot be allowed to continue at these levels."
Biker Richard Collins broke his arm in the crash near Tilbrook, Cambridgeshire, which borders Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire.
He was eventually taken to hospital in a Bedfordshire Police car.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating.
Mr Collins, 49, was riding on the B645 with friends when he crashed on 20 September. A 999 call was made shortly before 16:00 BST.
There had been confusion over where the crash happened and therefore which county's emergency services should respond.
Bedfordshire Police said the Northamptonshire force told its staff about the crash at 16:25, but replied saying the accident was not in its patch.
An hour and 15 minutes later, Bedfordshire Police said it was informed that no emergency services had attended so immediately dispatched a police car.
It said due to the distance of travel and difficulties in locating the casualty, the car did not arrive until 18:40.
It was later established the crash occurred in Bedfordshire by a few metres.
Bedfordshire police and crime commissioner Olly Martins said in an open letter last week his force had been receiving "flak", when in fact no ambulance had attended.
East Midlands Ambulance Service, which was alerted to the call, said it could not respond "as quickly as we would have liked".
The Supreme Court upheld an earlier high court ruling on Wednesday that the tradition was dangerous for children.
The court also banned human pyramids taller than 20ft (6m).
Every year dozens of groups in Mumbai mark the Hindu festival of Janmashtami by forming human pyramids to reach pots carrying yogurt hung high above.
The festival, known as the Dahi Handi festival, is celebrated to mark the Hindu god, Krishna's birthday.
Religious scriptures say he loved dairy products and often climbed onto his brother's shoulders to reach hidden pots of butter.
Many teams compete to make the tallest pyramid every year and children are often put on top to reach the pots.
But recent years have seen injuries and accidents. Last year, one man died and more than 100 other suffered injuries during the celebrations.
Dr Alec High "repeatedly" engaged in sexual activity despite being warned not to while working at the University of Leeds' School of Dentistry, the General Dental Council committee heard.
The panel was told at least four colleagues said they overheard.
The allegations relate to the period between 2013 and 2015.
Dr High qualified as a dentist in 1966 and worked for the NHS in the North-East before moving to the University of Leeds in 1981.
He was a senior lecturer and consultant specialising in the head and neck, but left the University of Leeds in 2014.
The panel heard a woman was "often" spotted entering or leaving his office.
It was told Dr High continued to have sex in the room, despite being told by a senior colleague that the behaviour was unacceptable.
It is alleged that when the university investigated, he tried to convince staff he was working in hospital.
However, his computer was logged on and connected.
Dr High was charged with repeatedly engaging in sexual activity between 1 January 2013 and 12 March 2015.
He is also accused of "inappropriate and unprofessional behaviour" and giving a false account of his whereabouts on 12 March 12 2015 - said to have amounted to "misleading and dishonest behaviour".
The hearing continues.
The attack took place near a crowded market in the city of Damaturu in Yobe state. About 50 people were wounded.
No group has said it was behind the attack but Islamists Boko Haram have been blamed for similar bombings in recent months.
Two female suicide bombers killed nine people in the city earlier in July.
Yobe police spokesman Toyin Gbadegesin said that the latest attack happened on Sunday morning.
He said the child detonated her explosives in a crowd of people being screened by security services before they were let into the market.
In the previous attack on 17 July, two female bombers - one also aged about 10 - killed people waiting to say prayers for the Muslim festival of Eid.
The army said the blasts targeted a venue where volunteers were waiting to screen worshippers.
Boko Haram has recently stepped up its campaign of violence after being pushed back by Nigerian forces backed by troops from several neighbouring countries.
Will new military base help defeat Boko Haram?

David Anderson is alleged to have killed barmaid Louise O'Brien, 36, by seizing hold of her neck and compressing it at their home.
He is said to have murdered Ms O'Brien in Shields Place, Dunkeld Road, at some point between 24 and 28 April.
Anderson appeared from custody at Perth Sheriff Court where he made no plea or declaration.
His solicitor, David Sinclair, made no motion for bail on his behalf.
Anderson was remanded in custody by Sheriff William Wood and the case was continued for further examination.
The rebels attacked members of the Central Reserve Police Force in Sukma district of Chhattisgarh state, 450km (280 miles) from state capital Raipur.
The officers were reportedly surrounded and attacked while raiding a rebel hideout in a forested area.
The Maoists say they are fighting for communist rule and greater rights for tribal people and the rural poor.
Their insurgency began in the eastern state of West Bengal in the late 1960s, spreading to more than one-third of India's 600-plus administrative districts.
A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) spokesman in the area of the attack told the AFP news agency that the rebels had used human shields.
"[They] were using local villagers as shields, hence our force couldn't retaliate with full force as that would also have cost villagers' lives," Zulfikar Hasan said.
At least 11 CRPF men were also injured in the attack, police say.
Chhattisgarh is often hit by Maoist violence. At least 15 policemen were killed in a similar attack in the state in March.
In May 2013, rebels targeted a convoy carrying state Congress leaders and party workers in Sukma, killing 27 people, including some top state politicians.
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh described India's Maoist insurgency as its "greatest internal security challenge".
Major military and police offensives in recent years have pushed the rebels back to their forest strongholds and levels of violence have fallen.
But hit-and-run attacks are still common, killing hundreds of people every year.
Those involved - who preyed on young families - travelled long distances to carry out attacks together, Bristol Crown Court was told.
Attacks were streamed live using hi-tech video software, prosecutors said.
Matthew Stansfield, 34, from Hampshire, and John Denham, 49, from Wiltshire, both deny conspiring to rape a child.
Prosecutor Robert Davies told the jury that the evidence in the case would "take you into a world you wish did not exist".
"The evidence exposes the shocking interest a group of men had in sexually abusing children and babies - particularly pre-school children and babies," he said.
"A real baby was for certain abused and raped by some of those involved."
Members of the gang would contact each other using Skype, video conferencing software and other online chatrooms, he added.
They would connect to the internet using the "dark web" - hiding their online activity - the jury heard.
"The abuse would be arranged when there was a 'window of opportunity' to abuse a baby", Mr Davies added.
Mr Denham - who was previously known as Benjamin Harrop - denies a charge of conspiracy to rape a child under the age of 13 and an alternative charge of conspiracy to sexually assault a child under the age of 13.
He has already pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in sexual activity in the presence of a child and child images offences.
Mr Stansfield denies two charges of conspiracy to rape a child under 13 and one alternative charge of conspiracy to sexually assault a child under the age of 13.
He has pleaded guilty to child images offences.
Mr Davies told the jury that five men had pleaded guilty to a range of other offences.
They are Robin Hollyson, 30, from Bedfordshire; Christopher Knight, 35, from Manchester; David Harsley, 51, from Humberside, Matthew Lisk, 32, from Sussex, and Adam Toms, 33.
The trial was adjourned until Monday.
The Izumo is the largest vessel built by Japan since the end of World War Two - and she looks very much like an aircraft carrier. She has already participated in Singapore's first ever fleet review, an international naval gathering with fleets from Asia and beyond to demonstrate their power.
There is growing support in Japan for a more strident response to Chinese military assertiveness around Japanese waters and Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force has been increasingly active in the region.
It is all part of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's determination to loosen constitutional strictures over the role of Japan's self-defence forces.
The sea is where this is playing out right now.
Japanese navy officials are careful to describe the ship as a "helicopter destroyer" capable of carrying more than 20 helicopters from its expansive flight deck, and thus playing down any offensive capabilities forbidden under Japan's constitution.
Against the backdrop of China's narrative of suffering and humiliation at the hands of Japanese imperial forces during World War Two, the transit of the Izumo through the South China Sea is particularly sensitive for China, since Japan has been very vocal in its support of a ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration overwhelmingly against China's claims to a large expanse of the South China Sea and its features.
The widening of Japanese naval operations in the South China Sea and beyond is also a response to a more pressing concern for Japan: China's own relentless drive to dominate the waters around Japan.
Chinese critics of Japan's naval modernisation will point out that with a few minor adjustments, this ship could carry vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, including the F-35 stealth fighter.
For China, therefore, the Izumo and the latest additions to the JMSDF fleet are both a symbol of a new era of military expansionism under Prime Minister Abe's administration and a painful reminder of China's wartime suffering and the destruction wrought by Japan's powerful carrier fleet of World War Two.
For Japan's navy, however, impressive vessels such as the Izumo serve a dual purpose. They are both a symbol of the JMOD's desire to make a greater contribution to regional and international security and an example of Japan's contribution to its alliance with the United States.
This was shown recently when the Izumo escorted a US navy supply vessel in a joint manoeuvre not designated as a military exercise, under the auspices of a revised Article 9 of Japan's constitution, which outlaws war as a way to settle disputes.
Japan's defence industries, long fettered by Japan's pacifist constitution now feel emboldened to compete for defence contracts far from home.
Japan's new Kawasaki P-1 Maritime Patrol aircraft flew all the way to the Farnborough air show two years ago for a demonstration to the British MoD and last year, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries campaigned to supply a new generation of submarines for the Australian navy.
Japan's navy and coast guard in recent years have also been under increasing pressure to respond to China's campaign of incursions into Japan's territorial waters and frequent transits of vessels and aircraft through the numerous straits of the Japanese archipelago.
A focal point for such rivalry are the disputed Senkaku islands, known as Diaoyu in Chinese. Until 2012 when the Japanese government purchased the islands from their private owners, Chinese maritime law enforcement vessels seldom intruded into Japanese territorial waters.
Chinese outrage at the purchase triggered sustained incursions into Japanese waters at up to three incursions per month.
Two years later the Japanese maritime agencies were alarmed to detect armaments on Chinese coast guard vessels and that Chinese navy frigates and destroyers were being transformed into white-hulled law enforcement vessels.
Recently such vessels have been increasing in size from 3 or 4,000 tonne to 10,000-tonne vessels.
While in 2012, Japanese and Chinese coast guard vessel numbers were roughly similar at 51 and 40 respectively, the Japanese government estimates that by 2019, the numbers will have swung hugely in favour of China at 135 vessels versus Japan's 65.
And there have been an increasing number of other concerning incidents for Japan in recent years.
In June 2016 the Japanese destroyer Setogiri spotted a PLA Navy Jiangkai class frigate entering the contiguous zone around the Senkakus at the same time as a group of Russian navy vessels transited the same waters. That same month, Chinese naval intelligence-gathering ships entered Japan's territorial sea near Kuchinerabujima and Yakushima islands for the first time and in the southern waters of the Senkaku islands.
One particularly unnerving episode for Japan began in early August 2016 when a China coast guard vessel escorted 300 Chinese fishing vessels into waters around the Senkakus, and over four days a total of 15 coast guard ships repeatedly intruded into the waters, half of them armed.
The Japanese defence ministry suspects that many of the Chinese fishing vessels belonged to the maritime militia.
Meanwhile, the number of Japanese scrambles against Chinese aircraft around the East China Sea and towards the Senkakus has jumped dramatically, surpassing even the annual peak number of 994 during the Cold War.
Japanese fighter patrols have also encountered challenging behaviour by Chinese PLA Air Force pilots in a similar vein to the increasing number of dangerous encounters between US and Chinese aircraft over the East and South China Seas.
The final element to China's saturation of the East China Sea is its unilateral construction of 12 new gas platforms adjacent to the Japan-China geographical equidistance line in an area agreed as a joint development zone between the countries. It is concerned that radars deployed by China on some of the platforms could be used in support of military operations.
For Mr Abe, the Izumo is a military instrument which could be deployed under his recent proposal to change Japan's constitution to allow a more assertive Japanese defence posture.
The deployment of Japan's naval assets further afield and more diversely alongside those of the US also helps to answer Donald Trump's calls for more burden-sharing within the alliance.
But most importantly, the Japanese government sees a direct link between China's behaviour in the South and East China Seas.
The wider deployment and sustained presence of Japanese vessels throughout the region therefore underpins Shinzo Abe's consistent demands for China to abide by a "rules-based international order", which includes freedom of navigation through international waters.
However for China, the clamour for a rules-based order is simply camouflage for the perpetuation of a US regional hegemony and what the Chinese leadership describe as "outmoded Cold War thinking".
China has its own vision for regional security and a new geo-strategic plan accompanying it in the form of the the 'Belt and Road initiative', providing an alternative to US dominance in the region.
For China's new maritime Silk Road to succeed, it needs to secure its seas on its own terms but that means the potential for an unmanaged escalation between Japan and China increases substantially.

The tournament was set to replace the Champions Trophy, a one-day competition that was last held in 2009.
"I am disappointed it is not going to take place sooner," said International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Haroon Lorgat.
The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) described the announcement as "a setback for Test cricket".
The Test Championship, due to involve the top four teams in the ICC rankings, had been planned as a way of reviving international interest in the five-day format.
England currently lead the rankings, with South Africa second, India third and Australia in fourth.
Lorgat added that the proposed 2017 Championship, also scheduled to be held in England, would be "the first opportunity" to resurrect the tournament.
The delay comes because of a lack of "support and consent" from the ICC's broadcast partner.
England were originally awarded the 2013 Champions Trophy, which would have made way in the international cricket calendar for the Test Championship.
Lord's was set to be the venue for the final of Test Championship, but after missing out on welcoming the touring New Zealand team for a five-day game, the ground may only host one Test in 2013.
MCC head of cricket John Stephenson said: "The club's priority, given there will be a gap in the calendar in 2013, will be to secure the best possible major matches it can for Lord's to supplement the Australia Test and the New Zealand one-day international being played that year."
The picture, titled Misty Minster, beat more than 250 other entries to the international contest.

When asked about his winning photo, Kenward said, "This is York Minster taken on a foggy, snowy morning. It is a mysterious, moody picture."
Joint second place was awarded to Emily Buck, with her photo The Old Tree, and Edward Phippen, with Sunrise, Gorges du Verdon.
Emily Buck said: "Me and my dad went walking one day and thought it would make a good picture with the blue sky in the background."
The winner took home a Canon EOS1200D and a canvas print of his winning image.

David Mundell said discussions with the Scottish government were at an early stage but should not be pre-empted.
He was speaking in the closing minutes of the committee stage of the Scotland Bill which will transfer more powers.
A cross party group of pro-Life MPs who argued in favour of devolving the law won the backing of the SNP. Labour opposed the move.
Mr Mundell said that there was "no reason" why the Scottish Parliament should not be able to decide on "an issue of this significance".
But he said the government did not consider the amendments to the Scotland Bill legislation "appropriate at this moment."
This was the fourth and final day of line-by-line scrutiny of the Scotland Bill in the Commons, with MPs voting on a series of opposition amendments to the legislation.
Ministers have been criticised by opposition MPs for failing to accept any amendments so far, but Mr Mundell pledged to reflect and return with improvements to the bill at report stage.
The bill will give further control to the Scottish Parliament over areas including taxation, VAT revenues and welfare.
A cross-party amendment, signed by three Catholic MPs - Liberal Democrat John Pugh, Tory Fiona Bruce and Labour's Robert Flello - proposed that abortion law be transferred to Holyrood.
The move was considered by the Smith Commission on further devolution, but was not included in its final list of recommendations.
Veteran Tory Sir Edward Leigh, who sits alongside the three MPs on the all-party parliamentary pro-life group, said Scotland has its own point of view which should be reflected in the Scottish Parliament, particularly on "moral maze" issues such as abortion.
The Gainsborough MP, who moved a separate amendment which would devolve powers on abortion and surrogacy, genetics, embryology and other health areas, said any "self-respecting parliament" should be allowed to deal with such issues.
He said he tabled his own amendment because he wanted to know why Scotland could not have the power to change abortion law in the country.
Mr Pugh said the proposal to devolve abortion law was "modest and rational".
The Lib Dem said the Scottish Parliament had already proven it could debate moral issues of this scale rationally and based on evidence.
He said: "The Smith Commission was minded to make abortion a devolved matter and this proposal aligns the Bill with the original intentions of the Smith Commission.
"A similar level of devolution is already available in Northern Ireland and gives the Scottish Parliament the same rights as with regard to euthanasia and every other health matter."
Shadow Scotland secretary Ian Murray said Labour would oppose the devolution of abortion law.
He said: "We believe a woman's right to choose should be determined by robust medical evidence and not by where you live. There is no reason why a woman in Edinburgh should face a different experience to a woman in Exeter.
"Many would argue the system we currently have in place needs to be improved but this is best achieved within a UK framework and should be a debate separate from the constitution."
The SNP backed the proposal to devolve abortion law, with Glasgow South MP Stewart McDonald saying it would give Scotland the opportunity to strengthen a woman's right to choose.
He said: "I want this power not just because I want all powers to come to Scotland but I want to improve and protect a woman's right to choose and to access quality healthcare.
"I believe we can do that and I want to make progress on it at the earliest opportunity, that is my motivation."
Among other issues discussed during the Commons debate were powers over the Crown Estates.
Former Scottish secretary Alistair Carmichael called for powers over Crown Estate land to be devolved directly to local island communities so they could generate more income from them.
Scotland's foreshore, seabed, fishing rights and other urban and rural state assets are currently managed by the Crown Estate, accountable to Westminster with revenues sent to the UK Treasury.
The bill will devolve its revenues and accountability to the Scottish Parliament in Holyrood.
But Mr Carmichael said the land around islands would be better managed by local communities and so the powers should be devolved directly to them.
Moving his own amendments, the Liberal Democrat MP for Orkney and Shetland said: "It is I think manifestly the case that the seabed is a resource which is something which could be better managed and would be better managed if it were to be managed by the communities that were most directly affected.
"That would I think actually generate more income."
Scottish Secretary Mr Mundell gave an "absolute commitment" to reflect on "genuine amendments" proposed by opposition parties.
But he disagreed with Mr Carmichael's proposals, saying it would be wrong to dictate to the Scottish Parliament what it should devolve to local communities.
On the abortion proposals, he said: "Discussions are at an early stage and accepting this amendment would pre-empt those discussions but as has been said a number of times in this debate, there is no reason why the Scottish Parliament should not be able to decide an issue of this significance because it has demonstrated it's ability to do so on numerous other significant issues."
He went on: "Now we've got a series of amendments which have been laid before parliament over the four days.
"I'm giving an absolute commitment that we will reflect on those amendments and that we will come back at report stage to this House with amendments to the bill."
Austfonna on Norway's Svalbard archipelago covers just over 8,000 sq km and had been relatively stable for many years.
But the latest space data reveals a marked acceleration of the ice in its main outlet glacier to the Barents Sea.
The research was presented in Brussels on Thursday to mark the launch of the EU's new Sentinel-1a radar spacecraft.
This satellite has been in orbit barely a month but is already being tasked with a range of science observations and other duties.
European Commission officials are keen to showcase the platform's capabilities before it goes into full service, including what it can do at high latitudes.
Radar is particularly useful in these regions. It senses the surface whatever the weather conditions and even in the darkness of polar winter.
Scientists had suspected the Arctic's Austfonna Ice Cap was losing substantially more ice through its major drainage glacier at Cap Mohn, and asked if Sentinel-1a could take some pictures.
"We've observed Austfonna with various satellite radar datasets over the past 20 years, and it hasn't done very much," explained Prof Andy Shepherd from Leeds University, UK.
Copernicus uses a range of technologies to get a broad picture of the health status of the planet
"But we've now looked at it again with the new Sentienl-1a spacecraft, and it's clear it has speeded up quite considerably in the last two or three years. It is now flowing at least 10 times faster than previously measured."
That previous measurement was done using the German national TerraSAR-X radar mission.
The speed of a glacier is judged by how far prominent features such as a big crevasse travel in time.
An "ice cap" is much smaller than an "ice sheet", a term that more properly describes the huge frozen masses covering Greenland and Antarctica.
An ice cap does, however, share a similarity with its bigger cousin in that it too has glaciers flowing away in many directions.
The Earth's ice caps and glaciers have become a key focus for scientists because these are the ice fields that appear to be experiencing the greatest change currently.
"Although ice caps and glaciers contain less than 1% of the world's ice, they contribute around 50% of the sea-level rise due to ice melting," explained Prof Shepherd.
A detailed report on Austfonna and the probable causes of the speed-up is being prepared for publication in a science journal.
Prof Shepherd's team said the quality of the Sentinel data was very impressive, especially since the satellite was still in the process of drifting towards its final operational orbit.
It augured well for future studies of the cryosphere - research that will be boosted further when a carbon-copy Sentinel is launched in 18 months to hasten the acquisition of imagery.
The European Commission used Thursday's event to highlight a variety of other scientific and operational applications for Sentinel-1a data.
These included making rapid charts for mariners to warn them of nearby icebergs, and keeping watch over the seas for illicit oil spills.
Europe has committed some 7.5 billion euros to the end of the decade to launch a fleet of environmental monitoring satellites.
They are all called Sentinels but will have specific roles, viewing the Earth using a range of observing techniques.
The spacecraft will gather scientific data but also information the European Commission needs to design and enforce community-wide policies.
The Sentinels and the applications that stem from their data fit within what the EC calls its Copernicus programme.
Its scope and financial outlay makes it the biggest civilian Earth observation project ever envisaged.

Details of the length of Wynter's deal with the Stones have not yet been disclosed.
The 23-year-old made 20 appearances in all competitions for League Two side Colchester last season.
Former Crystal Palace trainee Wynter could make his Maidstone debut against Maidenhead on Saturday, 5 August.
Sixty-six out of 152 trusts raised the alarm as mounting bed shortages led to large numbers of patients experiencing trolley waits and delays in A&E.
Data leaked to the BBC earlier this week suggested only one trust hit its four-hour A&E target.
But now official figures have revealed more about the scale of the problem.
The number of major alerts, which used to be known as red and black alerts, is the highest of the winter.
And performance against the four-hour target appears to have sunk to its lowest level since the target was first introduced in 2004.
Major alerts are raised when hospitals are struggling to see patients quickly enough.
To cope, hospitals have to start calling in extra staff, cancelling routine treatments, such as knee and hip operations, and diverting ambulances away from their hospital - this happened at 39 A&E units.
The ultimate step is a full closure of A&E, but none took this step, the NHS England update showed.
Using the official data and leaked figures, the BBC can now reveal:
Weston Area: Nearly half of patients attending the Somerset hospital spent more than four hours in A&E last week with bed occupany hitting 100% on some days - well above the 85% "safe threshold". The trust said it had been a difficult week and it had opened extra "escalation" beds to help.
Mid Yorkshire Hospitals: The trust runs three hospitals and following the new year bank holiday it declared a major alert. It spent the rest of the week on level three status. Nursing director David Melia said the trust had been doing all it could "to alleviate the pressures" by opening up extra beds and putting more doctors on the wards.
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals: The trust has been on major alert status since December 30 hovering between level three and four, the highest level. The trust said it was having to prioritise the sickest patients and, as a result, some people were having to wait longer. Just over 74% of patients were seen in four hours last week.
John Radcliffe Hospital: Bosses have cancelled all non-urgent operations as part of its response to a week-long major alert. Data suggests one in five patients are waiting over four hours in A&E.
Dr Chris Moulton, of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, who works at Bolton Hospital, which ran out of beds at one point last week, said: "It has been a really difficult week for everyone. We are in the middle of what is probably the most challenging period for the past 15 years.
"Despite what ministers say, this is not just isolated to one or two cases as the latest figures show. And it is not just in England, elsewhere in the UK our members tell us they are under real pressure."
In Northern Ireland, nearly four in 10 patients waited more than four hours in A&E during the Christmas period. Hospitals also reported having to temporarily close A&E units to ambulances.
In Wales data is only available for September, but even that showed nearly one in five patients were waiting longer than four hours.
Scotland is performing better. In the Christmas and new year week 92% of patients going to major hospitals were seen in four hours.
Chris Hopson, chief of executive of NHS Providers, which represents hospitals, said the health service was in an incredibly vulnerable position.
"Thanks to the heroic work of NHS staff, the majority of trusts are managing to keep their heads above water - just.
"But the pressure on our hospital, ambulance, community and mental health services is unsustainable, and the resilience of the system to cope with unexpected shocks, such as flu outbreaks, is impaired.

Cotterill took over in 2013 and won the League One title and the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in his second season.
The 51-year-old has previously managed Nottingham Forest, Portsmouth, Notts County, Burnley, Stoke, Cheltenham Town and Sligo Rovers.
He leaves City, who host leaders Middlesbrough on Saturday, in 22nd position, two points from safety.
The team have failed to win in seven matches.
Assistant manager John Pemberton and Wade Elliott, boss of the club's under-21 side, will take interim charge.
It is only 256 days since Cotterill led Bristol City to their first league title since 1955.
Club chairman Keith Dawe said last season's success "will live in the memory for a long time" but added: "Sadly, since the highs of last March and May things have not gone our way on the pitch.
"The club's aspiration is to ultimately become a Premier League club and this decision has been made to achieve our overall strategy for growth and player development."
Cotterill had held a news conference earlier on Thursday to look ahead to Saturday's game against Boro.
He had discussed the club missing out on the signing of Bolton striker Zach Clough.
Scientists will underline, with greater certainty than ever, the role of human activities in rising temperatures.
But many governments are demanding a clearer explanation of the slowdown in temperature increases since 1998.
One participant told BBC News that this pause will be a "central piece" of the summary.
Researchers from all over the world work with the IPCC to pore over thousands of peer-reviewed studies and produce a summary representing the current state of climate science.
Its previous report in 2007 was instrumental in helping the panel share the Nobel Peace Prize that year.
A new Summary for Policymakers on the physical sciences, the first of three parts that make up a report to be released over the next 12 months, will be published in Stockholm on Friday.
It will focus on the science underlying changes in temperature in the atmosphere, the oceans and at the poles.
New estimates will be given for the scale of global warming and its impact on sea levels, glaciers and ice sheets.
In its last report in 2007, the IPCC stated that "warming of the climate system is unequivocal" and that "most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th Century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations" - in other words, humans burning fossil fuels.
In the latest draft summary, seen by the BBC, the level of scientific certainty has increased.
The panel states that it is 95% certain that the "human influence on climate caused more than half the observed increase in global average surface temperatures from 1951-2010."
But since 2007, there has been a growing focus on the fact that global average temperatures haven't gone above the level recorded in 1998.
This slowdown, or hiatus as the IPCC refers to it, has been leapt upon by climate sceptics to argue that the scientific belief that emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere increases the temperature of the planet, is wrong.
Scientists have attempted to explain the pause in a number of ways, with many arguing that the Earth has continued to warm but that the heat has gone into oceans.
The most recent report suggested that a periodic cooling of the Pacific ocean was counteracting the impact of the extra carbon in the atmosphere.
But there is no certainty and little agreement among scientists on the mechanisms involved.
And this week, when the scientists will go through their summary line by line with officials from 195 governments, the pause is likely to be the focus of heated debate.
Prof Arthur Petersen is the chief scientist at the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and part of the Dutch delegation that will review the IPCC report.
"Governments are demanding a clear explanation of what are the possible causes of this factor," he told BBC News.
"I expect that this will be a central piece of the summary."
There are likely to be tough negotiations between the parties throughout the week, with governments having already submitted around 1,800 comments on the draft.
Any changes to the text will need to be approved by the scientists, who will want to make sure that they are consistent with the underlying reports. This could lead to some tense moments.
"I wouldn't say there is a reluctance of the authors to take up such an issue as the pause, but they want to do it in a proper way," said Prof Petersen.
"There will remain a tension between how much you can deliver based on the peer-reviewed science and what the governments would like to have."
In the draft report, the panel agrees that "the rate of warming over the past 15 years (1998-2012) is smaller than the trend since 1951".
The effect of this slowdown means that the future temperature range predicted by the IPCC will be wider than in 2007, and with a lower starting point.
Many sceptical voices believe this is a recognition that the IPCC modelling process has been too sensitive to carbon dioxide, a claim given some credence by the text of the draft which states that some models have "too strong a response to increasing greenhouse gas forcing".
But Prof Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, who is a vice-chair of the IPCC, rejects this idea.
"To take that out of context, if that change is confirmed this week, and to present it as a big change in the opinion the IPCC has on climate sensitivity, is ridiculous," he said.
"Most climate scientists wouldn't say that the 15-year period is a good reason to question the overall quality of models."
There is a feeling among many scientists involved with the process that this report will be more complicated and cautious than in 2007.
In the wake of that year's report, a small number of embarrassing errors were detected in the underlying material. The organisation's reputation was also questioned in the Climategate rumpus.
"Overall, the message is, in that sense more conservative I expect, for this IPCC report compared to previous ones," said Prof Petersen.
"The language has become more complicated to understand, but it is more precise.
"It is a major feat that we have been able to produce such a document which is such an adequate assessment of the science. That being said, it is virtually unreadable!"

Kevin McGurty, from Gretna, died in November 2013. It is thought he had a heart condition.
A hearing at Dumfries Sheriff Court was told a fatal accident inquiry would take place between 7 and 11 March.
It heard that Mr McGurty had died shortly after midnight while he was in custody.
The claim: The cost of borrowing for the UK government is at record low levels. The government should take advantage of this to improve the UK's economic performance.
Reality Check verdict: The yield on UK government bonds has been falling to record lows, making borrowing cheaper, despite the recent cut in the UK's credit ratings. Borrowing to invest has the potential to reduce the need for future borrowing, but that's not guaranteed and it could further damage the UK's credit.
He's right about the cost of borrowing. The yields on 10-year UK government bonds have indeed been at record lows in trading over the past week, and that's a good indicator of the sort of amount the government would have to pay to borrow money.
You can only tell what will actually happen when there is a bond sale, as there was on Tuesday morning.
The government sold £2.5bn of bonds maturing in five years, at a record low yield.
The low bond yield is in some ways a bit surprising, as the downgrades from the ratings agencies S&P and Fitch mean they reckon that lending money to the UK government has become less safe.
But, in fact, what has happened is that the yield on government bonds has fallen because in uncertain times people look for relatively safe investments, such as government bonds.
It's not just the yields on UK government bonds that have been falling. The Swiss 50-year government bond has a negative yield for the first time, meaning that investors are prepared to pay to be able to lend money to the Swiss government. German government bonds also have negative yields, while US 10- and 30-year Treasury bonds are also at record low yields.
The rate of interest the government pays on its debt is important because the UK is currently in debt to the tune of £1.6 trillion (excluding holdings in public sector banks), so a small rise in interest rates would be very expensive for the public finances. The amount the country borrows each year (the deficit) has been falling, but the total debt has kept rising.
The Office for Budget Responsibility says that an extra one percentage point on the government's cost of borrowing would cost the exchequer an extra £8bn in 2019-20.
It is also likely, given the recent falls in the value of the pound, that inflation will rise, which will increase the amount the government has to pay on loans linked to the inflation rate.
Chancellor George Osborne has been saying since taking the job in 2010 that it is important to have a plan to balance the books because otherwise investors will lose confidence in the UK economy and the rates of interest the government has to pay will rise. Mr Osborne has now abandoned his target to balance the budget by 2020.
So would extra borrowing at cheap rates be good news for the economy in the long term? It could be.
Mr Crabb was campaigning on a platform of borrowing £100bn to invest in infrastructure, which would probably increase the amount the government was spending on servicing debt, even if the rate of interest fell slightly.
But his plan was that doing so would increase productivity. Investing in infrastructure is supposed to improve productivity because, for example, better transport links mean goods get to market more quickly.
Greater productivity would increase the amount of money the government raises through taxes.
Also, employing people to create the infrastructure would stimulate the economy.
So if the borrowed money were invested well, it could make it easier for the government to reduce the amount it borrows in the future, when the cost of borrowing might be higher.
But it would depend on the government being able to increase borrowing without damaging investors' confidence.

Nerijus Gudelevicius, 34, of Westlea, Swindon, enticed fellow Lithuanians to the UK and made them work long hours collecting charity clothing bags.
Police said he confiscated their passports, housed them in substandard conditions and paid them a pittance.
Gudelevicius was convicted of two charges of trafficking and jailed for two years at Salisbury Crown Court.
Judge Tim Mousley QC told Gudelevicius he made two people's lives "a compete misery" and "exploited them by deceiving them".
"They took your promises at face value. You exploited their ambition by a cruel but carefully planned deception," he said.
Det Supt Tom Straker from Wiltshire Police said the force was "extremely pleased" with the sentence, which "sends a clear message to those criminals who trade in human lives".
"Wiltshire Police will always treat human trafficking as a priority and vigorously investigate such incidents, along with our partners," he added.
The day has finally arrived! Euro 2016 is set to begin and Jenny is in Bordeaux, at the largest fan zone in France, where thousands of people are expected to watch the opening match between France and Romania on Friday evening.
Leah is in Marseilles at the Stade Vélodrome where the lawnmowers are out and last minute preparations are underway.
Dozens of firefighters tackled the blaze, which broke out overnight on the roof of the riverside mansion in the centre of the French capital.
The building was being renovated after its purchase by a Qatari prince in 2007.
Located on the World Heritage-listed Seine embankment, the mansion was once home to the 18th Century philosopher Voltaire.
It took six hours for the fire brigade to put out the blaze, which started in an area below the rooftop which emergency services found difficult to access.
A large portion of the roof has been destroyed. A spokesman for the fire service, Lieutenant Colonel Pascal Le Testu, said 650 square metres (7,000 sq ft) of the roof had gone, along with a section of a central staircase. Some of the brickwork on the front of the building has collapsed.
Renowned fresco ceiling paintings by Charles Le Brun in the Gallery of Hercules were also "severely damaged by smoke and water", Lt Col Testu said.
About a dozen neighbours were evacuated, and one firefighter was slightly injured.
The mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoe, said the fire had shocked and saddened him. In a statement, Mr Delanoe said the city authorities would monitor renovation works at the building, which he described as a "significant part of Paris's heritage".
Renovation plans by the owner, Prince Abdullah Bin Abdullah al-Thani, brother of the Emir of Qatar, sparked concern from conservationists keen to preserve the historical architecture.
"It really is a catastrophe because we fought for the frescos of the Gallery of Hercules to be preserved in the renovation project and now everything has gone up in smoke or been drowned," neighbour Sophie Pons told the AFP news agency.
The building was acquired in a state of disrepair.
The Shanghai Composite was down 0.4% at 3,321.87 after opening more than 3% lower, while the Hang Seng also changed direction to head up 0.1% to 21,342.09.
Trading in Shanghai was suspended early on Monday after it triggered a new circuit breaker mechanism.
But regulators said on Tuesday it may restrict stock sales to stem falls.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission said that it would consider restricting the proportion of shares that major shareholders could sell during a given period of time.
Analysts said investors were waiting to see if Beijing could stem the latest selling in Chinese stocks and whether more measures would be introduced.
But Bernard Aw, market strategist at trading firm IG said Beijing was arguably more concerned about economic growth than the stock market.
"Furthermore, it could look really bad if they have to throw in more measures when they are in the process of withdrawing the rescue measures," he said in a note.
The circuit breaker rule that suspended trading nationwide for the first time on Monday was created after sharp falls last summer and was meant to curb market volatility in China.
Monday's 7% fall spooked global markets.
Overnight, US benchmark indexes lost up to 2% as concerns grew that the dive in the Chinese stocks was the start of another volatile period after last summer's dramatic market rout.
The addition of escalating tensions in the Middle East on oil prices also dented investors' confidence.
Oil prices were flat after rising as much as 4% on the brewing dispute between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
South Korean shares also headed higher after a senior finance ministry official said that the government would take action to stabilise the market if needed, following Monday's steep plunge.
The Kospi was up 0.7% to 1,932.69 points.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index also recovered losses to head up 0.2% to 18,494.76, but Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 1% to 5,220.60.
Midfielder Williams headed Reading in front after just 15 seconds.
Hal Robson-Kanu found the USA international unmarked as he netted the club's third-fastest ever goal.
Nick Blackman made sure of the points with a late penalty with his eighth goal in as many games after he was fouled by Fernando Amorebieta.
Boro, five points clear in second before kick-off, were caught cold straight from the start at the Madejski Stadium.
Robson-Kanu lofted a ball across the area to the on-running Williams and Dimitrios Konstantopoulos was unable to tip it over the bar.
Reading, beaten just once in their last nine league games were full of confidence. Orlando Sa, returning from suspension, was denied a second goal as his shot was blocked on the line by Daniel Ayala.
Boro went close to an equaliser as Stewart Downing shot through a crowded penalty area only to be denied by Ali Al-Habsi.
Downing threatened again before the break, shooting just over from outside the box.
The visitors grew in confidence and continued to push for a leveller in the second half. Grant Leadbitter had the best chance as he watched a shot go just wide after the hour mark.
But just as nerves increased among the home crowd, Steve Clarke's side settled the game with two minutes left.
Blackman, among the nominees for Championship player of the month for September, was tripped by Amorebieta and referee Keith Stroud pointed to the spot.
Konstantopoulos went the wrong way and Reading had sealed their fifth win of the season.
Reading manager Steve Clarke told BBC Radio Berkshire:
"That was two good teams playing against each other today. We got the key moments in the afternoon and to get in front early changed the whole dynamic of the game.
"Middlesbrough would have come here thinking they could pick us off and contain us. In the first half, even though we didn't create as many chances, the best ones came to us.
"Defensively our shape was good and I sacrificed Nick Blackman a bit today, asking him to do a more defensive job.
"He did that really well and got his reward with the penalty at the end."
Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka:
"The main thing we had to do was not concede a goal in the first minute, but we did - within 20 seconds.
"Reading are a very organised team and we knew that if we conceded a goal, it would be difficult to equalise.
"We have still had a good run but we are disappointed because we wanted to win the eighth, ninth and 10th games in a row.
"I know it's impossible to win every match but it's still frustrating. I don't know why we started so badly."

Sarah Haynes used her year-end speech to accuse Ravenswood School of peddling an unrealistic image of perfection.
The speech was posted to YouTube and provoked strong responses, both positive and negative, on social media.
The school said the coverage was "unfortunate" but that a legal case meant it could not comment.
Ms Haynes' sister reportedly left the school mid-year after an alleged bullying incident. Ms Haynes, 18, referred to this in the speech she made last Wednesday, but denied her criticism was part of a "vendetta".
"For a large part of this year I was hurt, betrayed and very much began to hate certain things and people within the school," she said.
She said that her speeches were "censored" after she became school captain and complained that the school appeared to provide some students with more opportunities than others.
"Some people work hard and get noticed and good on them. But some people work hard, struggle, and get overlooked.
"It seems to me that today schools are being run more and more like businesses, where everything becomes financially motivated, where more value is placed on those who provide good publicity or financial benefits."
The school issued a statement saying elements of the speech were the subject of an ongoing court case. Local media reported this involved Ms Haynes' sister.
It called the speech and subsequent media attention "unfortunate" as it distracted from the celebrations of final-year students.
"As this relates to a matter before the Courts, it is not possible for us to comment on the specifics other than to say this relates to a disagreement about disciplinary action taken against a number of students following an incident of alleged bullying," the statement said.
"Ravenswood has an overriding obligation to provide a safe and respectful learning environment for every student - and all our girls have the right to feel valued.
"This applies not only to the way girls behave towards one another but also to allowing their freedom to express individual opinions in speeches or otherwise."
Debate over the merits of the speech spilled onto Ravenswood's Facebook page, where one commenter called the speech "disgusting" and urged people to "learn the back story".
But the majority of comments was positive and heaped praise on Ms Haynes.
The pair will take on Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed in the first foursomes match before world number three Rory McIlroy and rookie Andy Sullivan go up against Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler.
These are heavyweight contests for one of the great global sporting events, the USA team captained by Davis Love desperate to end a sorry run that has seen them win just one of the last seven stagings of the 87-year-old biennial competition.
A raucous, partisan atmosphere is expected across this lengthy course south-east of Minneapolis and the build-up these past four days has been typically fervent and full of controversy.
The foursomes - in which players in each pair take alternate shots with the same ball - are completed with Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer versus Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson, before veteran Lee Westwood and Thomas Pieters take on Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar.
Love and Clarke came up against each other in four successive Ryder Cups from 1997 to 2004, playing twice in fourballs, once in foursomes and once in singles.
Clarke had two wins to Love's one, but should he lead a team featuring six debutants to another win here in autumnal Minnesota it would rank alongside his Open victory in 2011 as his greatest triumph.
The Northern Irishman said: "I'm very happy with our team and the way the matches have come out.
"Justin and Henrik are a proven, successful Ryder Cup pairing. They were always going to be my choice for leading Europe off in this match - that was never, never in doubt.
"It's not a case of having to inspire the guys, to build the guys up. They are ready to go out and play."
Love was captain of the US team that fell apart in such spectacular fashion on the final afternoon at Medinah in 2012, while four of his five vice-captains were playing members on that team.
But, bolstered by an 11-man task-force and borrowing much from the European textbook on team-building and preparation, the 51-year-old has appeared in relaxed and confident mood this week.
He said: "Our guys are really, really excited to play golf. You can see it in their practice, their enthusiasm when they got back to the team room. They are ready to go.
"Every time I look at this line-up, I just get more and more excited about all four matches.
The hour-long opening ceremony on a warm, sunny evening at Hazeltine on Thursday featured a tribute to the legendary Arnold Palmer, who died aged 87 last Sunday.
Just as Seve Ballesteros became a touchstone for that extraordinary European comeback four years ago, so the shadow of Palmer - unbeaten in six Ryder Cups as a player and two as captain - is likely to hang across the next three days of competition.
"Arnold loved this competition as he loved all things in golf," said Love. "Arnold, this one is for you."
A ceremony introduced by old Ryder Cup foes and friends Tony Jacklin and Jack Nicklaus closed with fireworks and a performance from Grammy-nominated singer, Aloe Blacc, the preamble as always drawn-out compared to the rapid-fire thrills of the three days to follow.
The traditional pre-Cup hype has been stirred both by an "ill-timed and wrong" 'satirical' column penned by the brother of European debutant Danny Willett and the remarks of several members of the US golfing elite.
After Pete Willett described American Ryder Cup fans as a "baying mob of imbeciles" in a magazine article, Masters champion Danny admitted the controversy had "put a downer" on his first Ryder Cup.
Mickelson, the US team's most experienced Cup player, was then forced to make a public apology after criticising former US skipper Hal Sutton for his selections 12 years ago.
Love, meanwhile, described his side as "the best team, maybe, ever assembled" while double Major champion and twice Cup winner Johnny Miller, now a prominent commentator in the US, claimed Europe had "their worst team for many years".
But then there was the fan who had the temerity to criticise Europe's putting abilities and, when invited onto the green, show them how it should be done, earning himself $100 from the pocket of Rose.
It is all great Ryder Cup fodder, the bookmakers favouring the home team and the USA's 12 men having won two more majors between them than their opponents.
But Clarke's team contains the reigning Open champion (Stenson), Masters champion (Willett), Olympic gold medallist (Rose) and FedEx champion (McIlroy) - with talismanic four-time major winner McIlroy admitting he was desperate to win the trophy for his childhood hero and mentor Clarke.
At 7,628 yards Hazeltine is a monster of a course, its rough cut short and greens kept quick to favour the big drivers and sharp putters in the home line-up.
But it has also seen much European success down the years, Jacklin winning the US Open here in 1970, and several of the current team finding it to their liking at the 2009 PGA Championship - Westwood and McIlroy finishing in a tie for third, Kaymer and Stenson tying for sixth.
The first tee will be the inevitable focus of attention as dawn breaks here on Friday, yet it is the closing five holes - the usual 5th to 9th - where the biggest galleries will gather and most matches be decided.
After an unseasonably wet September the forecast for Friday, Saturday and Sunday is much improved, bright sunshine expected as the quintessential backdrop for a US Ryder Cup.
Friday afternoon will see four fourball matches, the better ball format, with the foursomes/fourball order reversed on Saturday before the concluding 12 singles matches on Sunday.
Stokes, who came out to bat with Pune 10-3, hit 103 from 63 balls with seven boundaries and six sixes.
Despite suffering with cramp, he and Mahendra Singh Dhoni put on 76 runs as Pune chased Gujarat's 161.
Australia's Dan Christian then hit a six from the penultimate ball of the innings to secure Pune's win.
Stokes' century is the fourth of this year's IPL and only the second by an English player after Kevin Pietersen scored 103 for Delhi Daredevils in 2012.
The juvenile peregrine falcon was discovered injured in Long Melford.
The Raptor Foundation, which is caring for the bird in Cambridgeshire, said its wings were healing and it was now flying outdoors on a line.
The person responsible for shooting the bird has not been found, despite the offer of a £1,000 reward.
The female falcon, which is a protected species, was found in a field with lead shot injuries to her torso, a wing and a talon on 20 August.
She was initially cared for at Lavenham Falconry in Suffolk before being transferred to the Raptor Foundation at Woodhurst near St Ives..
Simon Dudhill, administrator at Woodhurst, said: "It's great she's doing more limited flying and she's built up her chest muscles to compensate for the lack of wing feathers.
"She needs to moult the damaged feathers and then new ones should grow back within six weeks when we will be able to start letting her fly without a line.
"As she get stronger and fitter, there will be a time when she decides not to come back, but we're confident she will be able to return to the wild at the end of summer."
An identifying ring will be attached to the falcon when she is finally released.
A detailed survey of 60,000 sq km of seabed is to be undertaken to help refine the hunt for the lost jet.
The depth and shape of Earth's ocean floor is very poorly known.
Leading researchers say the MH370 example should be a spur to gather much better data elsewhere in the world.
The search has been hampered by the lack of a high-resolution view of the bed topography west of Australia.
This was apparent on the very first dive made by an autonomous sub investigating possible sonar detections of the aircraft's cockpit voice and flight data recorders.
It was forced to cut short the mission because it encountered depths that exceeded its operating limit of 4,500m. There are places thought to exceed 7,800m.
Australian Transportation Safety Board (ATSB) officials said this week that an area in the southern Indian Ocean the size of Tasmania would now be subject to a full survey using multibeam echo sounders (MBES).
A Chinese navy vessel, Zhu Kezhen, has already started on the project. It will be joined by a commercial ship in June, with the work likely to take three months.
Drs Walter Smith and Karen Marks have assessed the paucity of bathymetric data in the region in an article for EOS Transactions, the weekly magazine of the American Geophysical Union.
The pair work for the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa).
They say only two publicly accessible data-acquisition sorties have been conducted close to where search vessels made possible black box detections, and "both expeditions occurred prior to the use of modern multibeam echo sounders, so depth measurements were collected by single, wide-beam echo sounders that recorded on analogue paper scrolls, the digitizing of which is often in error by hundreds of metres".
Modern MBES uses GPS to precisely tie measurements to a particular location. The equipment can not only sense depth very accurately (to an error typically of 2%), but can also return information on seafloor hardness - something that would be important in looking for wreckage in soft sediment.
Just 5% of a vast region, 2,000km by 1,400km, which includes the search locality, has any sort of direct depth measurement, Smith and Marks say.
The rest - 95% - is covered by maps that are an interpolation of satellite data. These have a resolution no better than 20km. Maps of the arid surface of Mars are considerably better.
"The state of knowledge of the seafloor in the MH370 search area, although poor, is typical of that in most of Earth's oceans, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere," the pair write.
"In many remote ocean basins the majority of available data are celestially navigated analogue measurements because systematic exploration of the oceans seems to have ceased in the early 1970s, leaving the ocean floors about as sparsely covered as the interstate highway system covers the United States.
"When these sparse soundings are interpolated by satellite altimetry, the resulting knowledge of seafloor topography is 15 times worse in the horizontal and 250 times worse in the vertical than our knowledge of Martian topography."
Smith and Marks hope that the detailed survey work now being conducted in the search for MH370 will be a catalyst to gather better data in other parts of the globe.
High-resolution bathymetry has myriad uses.
"Better knowledge of the ocean floor means better knowledge of fish habitats. This is important for marine conservation, and could help us find biological resources including new medicines," Dr Smith told BBC News.
"It means also a better ability to assess the mineral resource potential of the seabed. And it means better knowledge of the obstacles to flow that cause turbulence and mixing in the oceans.
"We need this mixing and circulation information to make good models of future climate. All of these things depend on knowing the topography of the sea floor."
The Australian Joint Agency Coordination Centre, which disseminates all information on the hunt for MH370, confirmed that the MBES survey data would be publicly available.
"The bathymetry data gathered in the course of the search for MH370 will become the property of the Australian Government. Recognising the importance of that data, it will be made available to the public via both Australian and international databases," the JACC told the BBC.
On Tuesday, all the raw satellite data from the London telecommunications company Inmarsat was also put in the public domain.
It was this information that led investigators to look for wreckage in the southern Indian Ocean.
James Brindley was talking to his girlfriend on his phone when he was attacked in Aldridge town centre shortly before midnight on Friday.
Det Insp Jim Munro said four boys aged 16, leaving their school prom, helped Mr Brindley and called his parents.
West Midlands Police has released CCTV of four vehicles seen near the scene.
Mr Munro appealed for people in the cars, which were travelling along Little Aston Road towards the town centre at the time of the incident, to come forward.
"We are very keen to speak to the occupants of those cars, two light in colour and the other two darker, as they may have seen what happened and could lead us to the killer," he said.
Describing the attack as "callous", Mr Munro said "the motive is unclear".
"This is an awful incident which has taken place in Aldridge town centre. He had been on a night out and had been enjoying time with his friends and has ended up dying in his parents' arms," he said.
Mr Munro said the attack "lasted just seconds" and the four teenagers, who were first to help Mr Brindley, gave him first aid and called the emergency services.
A post-mortem examination found the 26-year-old died from a single stab wound to his heart.
Officers are conducting "extensive searches" for the murder weapon, which could be a knife or other sharp object.
Mr Munro said: "James' family and friends are devastated by his loss and we need to bring his killer to justice.
"Someone will have knowledge of this attack and I would ask them to search their conscience and do the right thing. If you can't speak to police then please call Crimestoppers anonymously."
An independent commission set up by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) has been investigating the allegations and will publish its findings on Monday.
Any adverse revelations could increase pressure on Russia to be banned from the Rio Olympics entirely.
Its track and field athletes are already barred from the Games.
The 2016 Olympics get under way on 5 August.
The commission looking into Russia's conduct at Sochi is led by Dr Richard McLaren and has been examining claims made by Dr Grigory Rodchenkov.
A former anti-doping chief, Rodchenkov has alleged that dozens of athletes, including at least 15 medallists at the 2014 Winter Olympics, were part of an extensive state-run doping programme.
He has also implicated Russia's security service and the sports ministry.
Russia sports minister Vitaly Mutko has condemned the allegations as "a continuation of the information attack on Russian sport".
BBC sports editor Dan Roan
If ever sport needed its most illustrious event to provide some inspiration, escapism and relief from its various troubles, it is now.
With just three weeks until the start of the Rio Olympics, the focus should be firmly on the squad selections, the venues, the spectacular backdrop that the city will provide, the medal prospects, the glittering opening ceremony and the unique anticipation that usually accompanies the build-up to the Games, the first to be held in South America.
A time to revive cherished memories of London's golden summer of 2012, alongside hopes for new images of national pride.
Instead, at a news conference in Toronto on Monday, the integrity of the Olympic movement will receive one of its most shattering blows when Canadian law professor Richard McLaren reveals the findings of his independent investigation into more lurid allegations of state-sponsored doping in Russia.

The airport was originally meant to open in early 2012, but has been hit by several delays and mishaps.
The cause of the latest delay is not clear, but it is reportedly related to problems with the airport's baggage handling systems.
Opposition politicians have called for Berlin's mayor to resign over the project, seen as a major embarrassment.
The new airport is destined to take over from the capital's ageing Tegel and Schoenefeld airports.
Berlin Brandenburg airport, also to be known as Willy Brandt airport after the late West German chancellor, will eventually handle up to 27 million passengers a year.
The airport was initially meant to be a showcase for the German capital, commensurate with the city's growing status as a big tourist destination and a hub of political power, says the BBC's Steve Evans in Berlin.
But it has suffered from a litany of technical problems. The initial delay in its opening was put down to a lack of check-in desks.
In June last year there was another problem when it transpired that the site's fire system was not ready.
The cost of the project has also risen, from the initial 2bn euros ($2.6bn; £1.6bn) to more than 4bn ($5.3bn; £3.2bn), with the possibility that it may rise further.
The latest delay to the opening has attracted widespread scorn in the German media.
The mass-market Bild newspaper began its coverage of the latest problems with the line: "What a disgrace! The capital is showing up the entire country!"
Other claims rejected by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) included a wasp causing an accident and a child scribbling on the forms.
Self-assessment returns are generally required from the self-employed and those with multiple sources of income.
The next deadline is for online returns, which falls on 31 January.
About 10 million people are in the self-assessment system, and returns up to three months late incur a fine of at least £100.
The deadline for paper returns was on 31 October. Among the excuses for failing to file was: "A wasp in my car caused me to have an accident and my tax return, which was inside, was destroyed."
Another claimed: "My wife helps me with my tax return, but she had a headache for 10 days."
Blaming a husband or wife also featured in excuses such as: "I could not complete my tax return, because my husband left me and took our accountant with him. I am currently trying to find a new accountant."
Others used the oldest excuses in the book. "My dog ate my tax return... and all of the reminders," one claimed.
"It is easy to see that some excuses for not completing a tax return on time can be more questionable than others. Luckily, it is only a small minority who chance their arm," said Ruth Owen, HMRC director general of customer services.
"There will always be help and support available for those who have a genuine excuse for not submitting their return on time."
First-half tries from centre Wynand Olivier and an opportunist score from captain GJ van Velze gave the Warriors an 18-9 lead at the break.
A cagey second half saw few clear openings for either side as Ben Botica and Tom Heathcote exchanged penalties.
Harlequins missed the chance to climb into the top four while Worcester look almost certain to avoid relegation.
Controversy surrounded Van Velze's try towards half-time when an assistant referee appeared to raise his flag on the halfway line for a Worcester line-out.
Harlequins winger Henry Cheeseman had just managed to stay in touch though and the assistant quickly lowered his flag.
Some players stood still and waited for the whistle, but Worcester's Van Velze took advantage of the loose ball and the sudden space to race clear unopposed.
Referee Craig Maxwell-Keys let the try stand, but Quins never recovered from the setback.
Conor O'Shea's side failed to find a way through a stubborn Warriors defence and Ben Botica's five penalties were all they had to show for their efforts.
Worcester's sixth win of the season took them to 30 points - 17 ahead of bottom-placed London Irish, who host Gloucester on Sunday.
Harlequins: R Chisholm; Walker, Lowe, Sloan, Cheeseman; Botica, Dickson; Lambert, Ward, Sinckler; Horwill (capt), Twomey, Luamanu, Wallace, Easter.
Replacements: Gray, Evans, Collier, Matthews, J Chisholm, Tebaldi, Marchant, Lindsay-Hague.
Worcester: Pennell; Heem, Olivier, Mills, Biggs; Heathcote, Hougaard; Rapava Ruskin, Annett, Schonert; O'Callaghan, Barry, Dowson, Kirwan, Van Velze (capt).
Replacements: Sowrey, Leleimalefaga, Johnston, Sanderson, Betty, Baldwin, Lamb, Symons.

Madrid is expected to outline 39bn euros ($50bn; £31bn) worth of savings, tax rises, and structural reforms.
BBC News website readers in Spain share their views on the current economic situation.
I'm a 34-year-old single mum. I have been unemployed for over a year now, I've looked for work over and over again, from cleaning to a telephone operator but have found nothing.
I have been unable to meet all the payments on my house and I'm being threatened with eviction. I get unemployment assistance from the government but that will end next month because the government has annihilated aid to the unemployed.
What will become of me and my daughter? We will end up on the streets, how will we eat? Where will we live? What hope is there? All my life I have worked hard, struggling, paying my taxes, being a worthy citizen, and suddenly I'm not entitled to anything.
There are so many people like me in Spain, with problems that are typical of an underdeveloped country. People do not have jobs and small businesses are plummeting which generates more unemployment and more poverty in general.
Every month there are increases in taxes and the prices of basic supplies such as water and electricity, not to mention gasoline. Food is almost a luxury item.
Politicians are corrupt and all protect each other. The government has vetoed our freedom of expression and detains people for demonstrating. Spain needs economic aid, not to rescue banks but for welfare, to create and promote employment, culture and training, as all aid seems to have been stopped.
The Spanish people did nothing to deserve this. I am currently selling my personal belongings. I want to leave Spain, I'm tired of surviving, I want to regain a decent life for my daughter.
I am employed but most of my friends between the ages of 20 and 30 are unemployed and stay at home all day.
Spanish people still keep to the traditional nuclear family, where children live with their parents until they are economically independent.
However, the income of young people has been alarmingly reduced so that they might never leave. Some members of the family have to offer them part-time jobs such as housework to make up the costs of them living there.
In order to get a proper job you are forced to go abroad.
Some years ago those who got their degree in higher education were just some lucky people whose parents could afford it. Nowadays, almost every young Spanish person has some university qualification but it is not enough to get a job in Spain now, you have to get either a PhD or a masters, which is too expensive as fees have been raised by almost 100%.
The public demonstrations prove that the Spanish population cannot cope with the unfair and desperate situation anymore. The reforms have had a big impact on our lives and have deeply affected our basic needs: education, medical assistance and even food.
I am aged 30 and have been out of work for a month because I have just come back home from being abroad. I'm toying with the idea of migrating. The general feeling is one of apathy and widespread anger.
There exists a persistent minority who protest vehemently against each set of cuts implemented both by the central government and regional cabinets (cuts that are in turn rejected by the majority of the population if we trust opinion polls).
However, up and down the country also emerges a sensation of weariness. I am chasing every vacancy going, like jobs as a waiter, carpenter or plumber on the "black economy", which is what enables many people to gain their bread day in, day out.
Three members of my family are currently unemployed: myself, my father and my younger brother. Many people in my neighbourhood rummage through garbage bins looking for something to eat or sell in the black market.
Budget adjustments seem not to work. Curtailing the public deficit has stalled growth, not to mention added unbearable hardship to the vulnerable in society and those dependent on public sector hand outs.
Some regions, such as Catalonia, are now pursuing a break-up from Spain because at the moment it appears inconceivable to sustain state structures which fulfil their duties and look after their citizens.
I oppose a bailout. It may appease financial markets for a while, but further down the line would have strict conditions attached. It would be the last straw and lead to widespread social strife and probably new general elections, where the extreme right may score significant political points.
I am a civil servant and work in a ministry. In Spain, if you want to work in the administration you have to pass very hard exams to get the job.
The system is supposed to be used to select people due to their competence but I see very closely how politicians use the administration to give very good jobs to their sons, brothers and sisters.
I have also seen how some colleagues with no experience at all get posts of high responsibility (and a high salary) in the ministry because of their connections. I've heard them in the canteen saying they are bored!
So we have to keep listening to politicians saying the public service is huge and it has to be cut but it is the normal workers who get a reduction, yet the big earners keep carrying on with their business unaffected.
I heard on the radio this week that a kid who brings his own food to school for lunch has to pay about five euros just for it to be looked after yet a member of parliament pays 3.55 euros for a full meal.
Citizens in Spain are angry, fed up of politicians and feel hugely disappointed with the two main parties.
I would say that traditionally we are not anti-EU, and we don't blame the euro for what is happening here, but of course we feel afraid of the rescue, looking at what is going on in Greece.
If we are rescued will Merkel come to Spain to put order in to our corrupted system? I don't think so. She just cares about getting her money back.
I am originally from Manchester, England but live in Spain, in La Linea de la Conception. I am an IT consultant and semi-pro poker player. I have some Spanish friends, and Gibraltarian friends, and the current feeling is that Spain is in deep trouble.
The corrupt culture does not help. To get anything done means paying someone off. There is a long and virtually impossible process for anything concerning courts. So, recovery of unpaid taxes, fines and general bills, is very difficult.
This culture is expressed very close to home, where our rent is paid in cash directly to the owner, and so avoiding bank deposits that can be "seen" by the tax authorities.
I am affected very little, as my income is determined by work in Gibraltar. However, shopping in Spain is very cheap, and with the exchange rate generally rising in my favour, the cost of living for me is slowly falling. The only thing that might affect me would be inflation.
The current Spanish government would have to tackle a deep-rooted culture issue around corruption, bribery and a rampant black market. Spain will almost certainly require a bailout. However, they are a very independent people, and would see that as a major embarrassment.
The only other option would be to return to the peseta. This would be great for Gibraltarians, as the value of this devalued Spanish currency would be very favourable indeed.
The euro has been a disaster for everyone other than a small number of eurozone members since the outset. Smaller economies basically deceived their way into the euro, and are now paying the price.
It pains our local Spanish population dearly to see a successful, vibrant economy just across the border in Gibraltar.
Low taxes, extremely low unemployment, high business incentives and a very proud and close "British ex-pat" community, all serves to have avoided most of the economic woes suffered elsewhere in Europe.
The 18-year-old forward, who has been at the club since the age of nine, penned a new deal in the aftermath of the 4-1 triumph at Celtic Park.
"It was literally straight after the final whistle," Johnston told the Celtic website.
"Once I got changed, I went straight in and got the deal signed."
Johnston and 18-year-old defender Anthony Ralston were praised by boss Brendan Rodgers for their performances as the champions swept Saints aside to extend their unbeaten domestic run since the start of the season to 43 games.
"I have played for this club for about 10 years and I have supported them my full life so to make my debut and then sign the contract and commit my future here is unbelievable," Johnston added.
"I have committed my future here for a reason. This is where I want to be and hopefully I can get many more appearances under my belt.
"Making my debut was one of my goals this season and to do that was a delight, and to sign the contract just topped it off.
"This has been a great season for Celtic, one of the best in the club's history, and it's something you want to be part of." | The first Test Championship, expected to take place in England in 2013, will not now be played before 2017.

Froome, 11 seconds in front at the start of the day, attacked his rivals late in the day on a testing climb prior to a steep descent.
Colombia's Esteban Chaves could not keep pace and lost 17 more seconds.
Alaphilippe came out on top in a three-way sprint as he claimed his first Grand Tour stage win.
"It's incredible. I didn't expect I would win the stage," he said after holding off Jan Polanc and Rafal Majka.
Froome, who is aiming to become the third man to win the Vuelta and the Tour de France in the same year, was one minute 27 seconds behind Alaphilippe as he finished 14th on the stage.
Only home favourite Alberto Contador could stick with him on the steep gradients and the pair were 15 seconds ahead of the other general classification contenders.

French publication Closer printed the pictures of the duchess, taken during their private holiday in France.
The royals are now considering legal action over the case.
Closer's editor says the couple were "visible from the street" and the images are "not in the least shocking".
The BBC's Nicholas Witchell said that the royals were "incredulous that any magazine would have felt they had a justification in publishing these pictures".
"They could go to law or seek a remedy through the French court - that is a big step to take but that is clearly what is being considered now," he said.
"I have rarely heard quite such a level of publicly expressed anger that I have heard today reflecting William's feelings.
"He is absolutely determined to protect the privacy of his wife; he has always been very protective of her and that anger has mounted during the day."
Our correspondent said that the prince had a "look of absolute thunder" on his face as they left Kuala Lumpur - a stop on their nine-day tour of South East Asia - to travel to Sabah in north Borneo.
Kate, meanwhile, "looked composed and was smiling", he said.
Closer editor Laurence Pieau said: "These photos are not in the least shocking. They show a young woman sunbathing topless, like the millions of women you see on beaches."
She described the reaction as "a little disproportionate".
"What we saw in the pictures was a young couple that have just got married, who are in love, who are beautiful. She's a princess of the 21st Century," said Pieau.
"They [the couple] are on the terrace of a mansion in the south of France which is not far from a road along which cars pass without any problem. They are visible from the street."
The photos look blurry, the BBC's Paris bureau said. There are four pages of photos of the couple, with Kate topless in several.
Analysis: Royals and the media
On the magazine's website, it says the pictures are of the couple "like you have never seen them before. Gone are the fixed smiles and the demure dresses. On holiday Kate forgets everything."
The duke and duchess, who were staying at the French chateau of the Queen's nephew, Lord Linley, "have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner", a spokesman for Clarence House, the Prince of Wales's office, said.
"The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the duke and duchess for being so.
"Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them.
"Officials acting on behalf of their Royal Highnesses are consulting with lawyers to consider what options may be available to the duke and duchess."
The prime minister's official spokesman said: "The view from Downing Street is that they are entitled to their privacy."
The royal couple were told about the magazine's plan to publish the photos during breakfast in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on their tour to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. They are now on their way to north Borneo, where they are due to visit a rainforest.

In France they will tell you privacy laws that govern the press are much tighter than they are in the UK. It's only half of the truth.
While the French are sniffy about the tabloid culture in Britain many celebrity magazines have been publishing these kind of pictures for years.
France is the home of one of the oldest 'celebrity' magazines in the world - Paris Match.
But these days there are raunchier titles, like Closer, who unashamedly indulge in the celebrity gossip.
And they budget for the legal payouts which in this case are seemingly inevitable.
But for editors the fine is worth the risk.

It has emerged that British newspapers were offered photographs last week but turned them down.
The Sun's editor Dominic Mohan said the newspaper had no intention of breaching the couple's privacy by publishing what he described as "intrusive" pictures.
"The circumstances are very different to those relating to the photos of Prince Harry in Las Vegas. As we said at the time, he was at a party in a hotel suite with a large group of strangers and one of those present released a photograph into the public domain," he said.
The Sun was the only British newspaper to print the naked pictures of Prince Harry, defying a warning by Clarence House that they breached his privacy.
The Press Complaints Commission said it received hundreds of complaints from members of the public but did not act because it had not been contacted by representatives of the prince.
Lloyd Embley, editor of the Mirror and Sunday Mirror, said the papers were offered a set of pictures of the duchess in her bikini a week ago but, as with the pictures of Harry, they took the decision not to publish them.
In both cases they believed it would be a clear breach of the editors' code of practice involving breach of privacy.
Closer is not run by the same company as the British title; it is administered by Italian business Mondadori, owned by former president Silvio Berlusconi's holding company Fininvest.
A statement from the UK magazine said: "We were not offered any pictures of this nature and have no intention of publishing the photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge which have been published this morning."
That is the "political trigger" to euro exit. But market participants are watching something else: the flight of deposits out of Greek banks and into other Euro currencies.
That is because the normal mechanism for making payments across Euro borders, called TARGET2, is seen as the economic trigger for a euro exit.
It works like this. Suppose a Greek wants to send a Spaniard 1,000 euros. Let's call them Louk and Gomez:
The thing to note here is that both central banks are creating debits and credits with the entire system, not each other. They do not directly face each other. All that happens is that their accounts with the central system, TARGET2, are changed.
Now what if Bank A, in Athens, does not have enough reserves at the Bank of Greece? It borrows from the Bank of Greece, which is in turn borrowing from the ECB.
Now what if the Bank of Greece knows Bank A is in trouble because its deposits are being withdrawn? Still no problem: it can lend to Bank A, borrowing from the ECB, and take very poor collateral, by permission of the ECB, up to a certain limit.
But the sticking point comes on the issue of collateral. The Bank of Greece has permission from the ECB to lend against poor collateral up to a certain amount, set twice a week. If that amount is breached, the ECB must vote to raise it: that vote will be effectively a vote to allow massive capital flight. The moment the limit is not raised, Bank A goes bust, triggering massive capital flight if it has not already started. At that point, the Bank of Greece would have to impose capital controls, and everybody who has euros in a Greek bank account would have to keep them there and see them devalued on euro exit.
There are about 170bn euros of deposits in Greek banks. If these were then devalued by 50% after euro exit, it would probably not crash the euro system. On Greek sovereign debt, the default has already occurred. Until Monday, only 700m euros had fled Greece since the election. But on the first two days of this week, says the FT, outflow exceeded 1.2bn euros.
However, what the markets are looking at right now is contagion to Spain and Italy. Here you have 800bn euros of foreign-owned government bonds, 600bn euros of foreign-owned corporate bonds, and 300bn euros of foreign-owned listed equities (numbers from JP Morgan) - together with E3 trillion of deposits.
What policymakers and market players are worried about right now is if foreign investors see a Greek deposit crisis as a signal to rush for the exits in Italy and Spain.
One way of stopping that, says my market interlocutor, is if the Eurozone authorities would issue pan-European depositor insurance, effectively saying to everybody, everywhere in the zone, that the other members would make good bank deposits in the event of exit, or capital controls etc. It would be another way of imposing fiscal union and therefore a tough one to get through Germany/Holland etc.
The coming weeks, leading to the second Greek election, will see the interplay of opinion polls, depositor behaviour and the European Central Bank's bi-weekly decisions on the Bank of Greece's lending capacity.
The above is a technical explanation why the future of Greece in the euro may not lie in the hands of the electorate as voters: it lies in the hands of the electorate as bank customers.
Fly-half Madigan, 27, is moving from Leinster to Bordeaux, a decision which Ireland coach Joe Schmidt in March described as "unfortunate".
Ulster centre McCloskey, 23, misses out with his club-mates Luke Marshall and Stuart Olding both chosen.
Uncapped Connacht lock Quinn Roux and Ulster flanker Sean Reidy are included.
With Madigan not selected, Johnny Sexton and Paddy Jackson are the only fly-halves in the squad with Olding providing possible back-up for the role.
Auckland-born Reidy, 27, joined Ulster in 2014 and qualifies for Ireland because of his county Kerry-born grandfather.
South African-born Roux, 25, is now eligible to play for Ireland under the three-year residency rule having signed for Leinster in 2012 before switching to Connacht.
While Reidy earns his first Ireland call-up, his Ulster team-mate Chris Henry is again left out after not featuring during this year's Six Nations while Munster's Tommy O'Donnell is a surprise back-row omission.
Instead, Joe Schmidt has picked Leinster back rows Jordi Murphy and Rhys Ruddock.
Henry's last Ireland outing was in the World Cup quarter-final defeat by Argentina last October.
Following recent knee surgery, Munster wing Simon Zebo joins a list of absent injured players which also includes Tommy Bowe, Sean O'Brien, Cian Healy, Peter O'Mahony, Josh van der Flier, Andrew Conway plus Connacht props Denis Buckley and Nathan White.
Connacht wing Matt Healy has not been included despite his impressive season for the Pro12 finalists while there are also no places for Ulster wing Craig Gilroy and emerging Leinster centre Garry Ringrose.
Schmidt opts for Keith Earls, Luke Fitzgerald, Dave Kearney and Andrew Trimble as his wing options.
Ulster's fit-again Iain Henderson, who missed the Six Nations because of injury, returns to the squad.
Ireland face the Springboks in the first Test in Cape Town on 11 June, with the sides meeting again over the following two weekends in Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth.
Forwards: Finlay Bealham (Connacht), Rory Best (Ulster), Sean Cronin (Leinster), Ultan Dillane (Connacht), Tadgh Furlong (Leinster), Jamie Heaslip (Leinster), Iain Henderson (Ulster), David Kilcoyne (Munster), Jack McGrath (Leinster), Jordi Murphy (Leinster), Sean Reidy (Ulster), Mike Ross (Leinster), Quinn Roux (Connacht), Rhys Ruddock (Leinster), Donnacha Ryan (Munster), CJ Stander (Munster), Richardt Strauss (Leinster), Devin Toner (Leinster)
Backs: Keith Earls (Munster), Luke Fitzgerald (Leinster), Robbie Henshaw (Connacht), Paddy Jackson (Ulster), David Kearney (Leinster), Rob Kearney (Leinster), Kieran Marmion (Connacht), Luke Marshall (Ulster), Conor Murray (Munster), Stuart Olding (Ulster), Jared Payne (Ulster), Eoin Reddan (Leinster), Johnny Sexton (Leinster), Andrew Trimble (Ulster).
Poland international Boruc, 35, has kept three clean sheets in his past seven appearances for the Cherries.
A run of just two defeats in 14 games has lifted them seven points clear of the Premier League's bottom three.
"I think your goalkeeper is pivotal to the success you have, whether it's the top end or the bottom of the table," Howe told BBC Radio Solent.
Boruc missed more than a month of action earlier in the season through injury, but has conceded just five goals in Bournemouth's past seven games.
"When he's on top form, I think you'd struggle to find a better goalkeeper," Howe added.
"You need one who is making saves and winning you points and I think Artur has done that in recent weeks."
Bournemouth host Arsenal on Sunday and Boruc hopes to continue his impressive run of form.
"I feel glad that we keep collecting points at the moment, that's the most important thing," he said. "Your own performance is quite important, but not as much as the team's."
Colourful streams of light were seen in Rhondda Cynon Taff, Ceredigion, and the Brecon Beacons in Powys.
BBC Wales weather presenter Rhian Haf said the lights are created by electrical currents that flow through the top of the earth's atmosphere.
In the UK, strong bursts of solar activity are needed for them to be visible, making June a good time.
Ms Jolie was speaking alongside British Foreign Secretary William Hague, who is co-hosting the London summit with her.
The event - the largest ever of its kind - is the result of an intense two-year campaign to raise awareness.
Mr Hague said rape was one of the "great mass crimes" of modern times.
He called on the more than 140 nations at the summit to write action against sexual violence into their army training.
The summit aims to:
The organisers want the event to be the moment the world wakes up and declares that sexual violence is not an inevitable part of war, says BBC World Affairs Correspondent Paul Adams.
Opening the summit, Mr Hague said: "From the abolition of slavery to the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty, we have shown that the international community can tackle vast global problems in a way that was once considered to be impossible.
"There is power in numbers, and if we unite behind this cause, we can create an unstoppable momentum and consign this vile abuse to history."
Ms Jolie said: "We need to shatter that culture of impunity and make justice the norm, not the exception, for these crimes."
She said she wanted to dedicate the conference to a rape victim she recently interviewed in Bosnia, who felt so humiliated by what had happened to her that she could not even tell her own son.
"She felt that having had no justice for her particular crime, in her particular situation, and having seen the actual man who raped her on the streets free, she really felt abandoned by the world,'' Ms Jolie said. "This day is for her.''
Angela Atim, one of the speakers at the conference, was kidnapped as a 14-year-old schoolgirl by Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels in Uganda.
She told the BBC: "These people who are accountable for the sexual violence in armed conflict, they have to be brought to justice."
"It's part of our healing because it's really painful to see that they are still walking around, they are still doing the same thing."
Nations taking part in the summit include Bosnia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia - countries where sexual violence has happened "on a vast scale", Mr Hague told the BBC.
Sexual violence was systematically being used as a weapon of war in the 20th and 21st Centuries, he noted.
Mr Hague cited the estimated 50,000 women who were raped in Bosnia two decades ago, virtually none of whom have received justice.
In the two years since Mr Hague and Ms Jolie launched their campaign, a Declaration of Commitment to End Sexual Violence in Conflict has been endorsed by 141 countries.
But the aim now is to take concrete steps, including providing more help to survivors, Mr Hague said.
He added that the issue had been a "taboo" for too long, and that it was time to get rid of the "stigma and shame attached to it".
On Thursday, Mr Hague will also host a security meeting focused on Boko Haram, a militant Islamist group in Nigeria. Ministers from Nigeria and neighbouring countries will attend.
Suspected Boko Haram militants abducted at least 20 women in northern Nigeria last week. More than 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped by the same group on 14 April.
The 85-year-old conservative is in a clinic in the south-western city of Heidelberg, Der Spiegel reports.
His office said he was "doing well under the circumstances".
The so-called "father of reunification" was modern Germany's longest-serving chancellor, coinciding with the peaceful end of the Cold War.
He served as chancellor from 1982 to 1998.
Der Spiegel described his condition as "critical" (in German), quoting sources close to the former chancellor. It said he had been in intensive care for the past three weeks.
According to Bunte magazine, Mr Kohl was unconscious for a long time following the intestine operation.
The statement from his office said he had a successful hip replacement in May, but then required another operation, without saying what.
Mr Kohl is credited with bringing East and West Germany together after the fall of the Berlin Wall and - together with his French ally President Francois Mitterrand - was responsible for the introduction of the euro.
Former US President George Bush Senior once described him as the most important European leader of the late 20th Century.
In more recent years, the former chancellor has been a frail figure and he has rarely been seen in public although he has spoken in support of closer European integration, says the BBC's Jenny Hill in Berlin.
Mr Kohl fell from grace when a funding scandal under his leadership of the Christian Democrats came to light after he left office in 1998.
Current Chancellor Angela Merkel was once a protegee of Mr Kohl, first entering government under his rule in 1991.
But she publicly denounced Mr Kohl and called for his resignation when it was revealed the party had received millions of dollars worth of illegal donations using secret bank accounts.
In 2011, in a series of interviews and statements, he spoke out against Mrs Merkel's policy of strict austerity to deal with the European debt crisis.
Mr Kohl, who exited active politics in 2002, has been confined to a wheelchair in recent years after suffering a stroke.
King stressed that, if Rangers are going to challenge for the Premiership, it's important they strengthen the squad and get "a few more players in".
He also admitted that achieving European football next season would have an effect on their recruitment.
"We still have a plan to improve on the team during the summer," King told the Rangers website.
"We are back, but we won't relax about it."
Rangers only named five substitutes at Hampden Park.
"The squad was very light," said King. "I think the players that we had on the park were fantastic, but next year, if we're going to challenge for the title, it is important that we still strengthen the squad and get a few more players in.
"The target for the season was always to win the Championship. I think we did that quite comfortably."
Mark Warburton's side will face Hibernian on Wednesday evening in their final Championship encounter of the season before meeting again in the cup final on 21 May.
"If we're fortunate enough to win the cup final - it will still be a tough game against Hibs - it would get us into Europe and that's a year ahead," King explained.
"Our original plan was to win the Championship this year, improve the squad and challenge for the Premier League next year and hopefully be in Europe the following year.
"So it would be a real, real bonus if we could accelerate the European part of it by a season. But they've still got to win the cup final to do that.
"I had a chat to Mark in the dressing-room and I just said, 'let's see how the final goes and we might need to kind of plan differently some of the player acquisitions in the close season'."
King, who led a successful boardroom takeover last year, described the semi-final win over Celtic on penalties as "absolutely astonishing".
"When we were up there after the final whistle and I saw grown men cry, there were tears rolling down the faces of every single board member," he added.
"I think every single director, including me, was in tears and, as we looked at each other and hugged each other, everyone was crying.
"All the people who have gone through the last year, the regime change and everything we have done, this is what it is about.
"We have been doing it for this and to see the reaction of the fans it was absolutely phenomenal for everybody."
The 20ft (6m) by 16ft (4.8m) mural has been created by artist Andy Scott.
It is near the comedian's birthplace, overlooks the shipyards where he once worked as a welder and can be seen from the Kingston Bridge.
Connolly said he was "humbled" by the artwork. "It is an unexpected honour for which I am extremely grateful," he said.
Sanctuary Scotland Housing Association commissioned the 500kg (79st) mural which formally completes phase 1 of the regeneration project.
Connolly, 68, said: "I consider myself a citizen of the world, but I was born and raised in Glasgow - it is where my first children were born - where I learnt to play the banjo - where I served my apprenticeship as a welder, and where I first performed in public.
"My heart beats to the rhythm of Glasgow - it is in my blood.
"I am happy and humbled that Sanctuary Scotland Housing Association commissioned a mural of me, to be erected in my home city, and thrilled that it was so skillfully created by artist and master craftsman Andy Scott."
Mr Scott said: "We're delighted Mr Connolly likes the mural as it's been a long and challenging commission.
"It's been interesting capturing a living legend but Mr Connolly never interfered and very quickly gave the finished artwork his blessing."
He said he had tried to capture the comedian in his early days to reflect his roots in the city.
Mr Scott's early sketches were hand-drawn in pencil on a giant timber wall in his workshop, which replicated the gable end in Anderston.
Once he was happy with the drawing, it became the template for the steel mural.
It is made from about 1.5 miles (2.4km) of 6mm (0.24in) steel, chopped into thousands of pieces.
Each piece was individually placed and welded to create the image.
If the pieces were laid end-to-end, they would stretch from Billy's birthplace in Anderston beyond Glasgow City Chambers.
Mr Scott's other works include the heavy horse sculpture on the M8 and the 33ft mermaid on the A80 at Cumbernauld.
"The method used was different to my previous works but it befits Billy's unique character," he said.
Sanctuary Scotland director Gordon Laurie said: "We are excited to unveil Andy's excellent mural after his many months of hard work.
"We feel regeneration is about more than creating high quality, affordable housing and believe it should have a social and cultural impact as well.
"This mural honours one of Glasgow's most celebrated sons. We hope the artwork inspires others and brings attention to Anderston's regeneration."
Lord Provost of Glasgow, Councillor Bob Winter, who unveiled the mural, said: "This iconic mural looking out across the shipyards where Billy worked is a fitting tribute to one of the world's most recognised, living Glaswegians.
"I know it will be a great source of pride for Billy and Glaswegians everywhere."
The fifth and final phase of Sanctuary Scotland's construction of around 430 new Anderston homes is due to be completed in 2015.
Four workers died when the Oxfordshire plant collapsed on 23 February.
Rotherham MP Sarah Champion said five days after the collapse the search stopped for three weeks and the men could have been alive at this point.
Thames Valley Police and the Health and Safety Executive said the pause was so RWE Npower could prepare a rescue plan.
The firm said its priority had always been to find the men as quickly and safely as possible and recovery work was currently on hold because the building remained "unstable".
Ms Champion, who represents two of the missing men's families, said their relatives could have been alive for weeks after the building's collapse.
She cited the collapse of a factory in Bangladesh in 2013, when 1,130 people died and about 2,500 injured people were rescued over a period of weeks.
She said: "What angers me is in those three weeks they might have been alive, and we're now three months on."
She said the emergency services had been "phenomenal" but "we know, when we've seen other disasters internationally, people can come out".
"If they'd carried on the search, if they'd not stopped after four or five days, would they have been found?"
Work to recover the men's bodies has been halted at a 50m (164ft) exclusion zone because RWE has yet to submit a demolition plan to the HSE.
The bodies of Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, have not yet been found.
The body of Michael Collings, 53, from Brotton, Teesside, has been recovered from the site.
The decommissioned Didcot A plant closed in 2013 and the men were carrying out work preparing it for demolition when it collapsed.
An RWE Npower spokesman said: "We understand that the time it is taking to recover these men is deeply distressing for their families."
Bold, imaginative, and brilliantly-engineered, the spacecraft came very close to upstaging Nasa but ultimately failed.
Criticised by some for relying too much on the British tradition of "winging it with string and sticky tape", as one European space official put it, Beagle2 nevertheless caught the public imagination.
The mastermind behind the venture, the late Colin Pillinger, could have had a very successful career in marketing. Shyness was never an option.
His choice of the mission's name - after the vessel that had sailed Charles Darwin around the world - deliberately aligned it with one of the greatest journeys in the story of modern science.
Just as Darwin's venture had ultimately led to a revolution in scientific theory about life on Earth, Pillinger's was designed to answer the big question about life beyond it.
Distinctive whiskers in full bloom, mind fizzing with ideas, he and his wife Judith shuttled their very British Land Rover between the centres of power of the European Space Agency, hustling for support.
They enlisted help from some of the most fashionable names in British art and music: commissioning the artist Damien Hirst to paint the image that would calibrate the camera and the rock group Blur to compose the first transmission signal.
And once, while filming a story at Pillinger's lab at the Open University in Milton Keynes, I asked him to demonstrate Beagle2's scale. His answer was unbeatable, tapping into some uniquely British humour: he placed a replica of the barbecue-sized spacecraft in a supermarket trolley and wheeled it through the car park. A shot both hilarious and iconic was born.
Then, at the key moment, on Christmas morning in 2003, stars and celebrities joined our media throng for an agonising wait. This was not exactly mission control in Houston but a modest meeting room at the Open University's centre in north London.
Live on television, his shirt festooned with clip-on microphones, Pillinger was resolute as the clock approached the moment when the first message should have confirmed a safe landing. And he remained resolute when that moment passed.
Early days, he kept saying, no problem, a bold display of a stiff upper lip. But I caught sight of Judith's face which told a more forlorn story.
Nothing was ever heard from the tiny craft and there was no trace of it until now. The assumption was that it was lying in shattered pieces in the Martian dust.
And so the name Beagle entered the lexicon as a heart-warming example of plucky failure.
When a British mission to search for life beneath the ice of Antarctica was being planned, the chief scientist Martin Siegert told me he hoped it would not turn out to be "another Beagle".
The pristine waters of the ancient Lake Ellsworth, cut off for thousands of years, were the target of the drilling project. The quest was to see if life could survive in the icy darkness.
The Russians had already extracted water from another lake under the ice but the samples may have been contaminated. And an American project was drilling into a less isolated spot. The scientific prize - as with Beagle - was there to be seized by British hands.
But the team's hot-water drill could not be aimed as accurately as needed. Supplies of fuel to melt the ice were running low. And over Christmas 2012 - exactly nine years after Beagle - another British team faced crushing disappointment.
Of course, the ultimate example of near-triumph came from Captain Scott and his team in the Antarctic wilderness a century before that.
They made it to the South Pole only to find that the Norwegians had got there first. They then hauled back priceless geological samples but never made it, their bodies later found frozen in their tent.
Even so, Scott became established as a legend and inspired future generations of explorers. A key thread in the narrative of British exploration is a determination not to give up, a legacy of salvaging something positive from defeat.
So, the Lake Ellsworth scientists are hoping to win funding to try again. And British space scientists will have another go at Mars with a European mission in 2018.
Colin Pillinger himself never had the chance for a second attempt. But he always avoided using the word failure.
And, if he were alive today, he would surely argue that news of Beagle2 touching down intact proves him right, that Britain did manage to land on Mars, and by any standards that counts as success.
The Republic of Ireland international, 36, has made 339 appearances for Millwall since being signed on a free transfer in 2008.
Forde played just 10 times last season, largely because of the form of first-choice Lions keeper Jordan Archer.
He was previously at Cardiff and before that had a spell at West Ham, where he did not make a first-team appearance.
Forde helped Millwall win promotion to the Championship via the play-offs in 2010 and was voted the club's player of the year in 2014.

An independent report published last week said patients in the Tawel Fan unit suffered "institutional abuse".
Families said patients were treated like animals in a zoo and ten members of staff have been reported to their professional bodies.
Mr Drakeford said an "urgent meeting" will consider putting Betsi Cadwaladr health board into special measures.
This could mean the Welsh government or another body taking over some or all of the board's functions.
The minister apologised for the "gross departures from basic standards of care" as the assembly held an urgent debate on the scandal on Wednesday.
First Minister Carwyn Jones had already promised that disciplinary action would follow.
Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar said those responsible at Betsi Cadwaladr local health board (LHB) should be sacked without compensation.
The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have called for the LHB to be placed in special measures, while Plaid Cymru has called for a new "fit and proper person" test to be introduced for hospital managers.
North Wales Police investigated the allegations of mistreatment but said they had decided not to press any charges.
Betsi Cadwaladr health board has already apologised for failings identified in the independent report by health specialist Donna Ockenden published last Thursday.
A separate report for next week's meeting of the board says that seven employees have been referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council and three to the General Medical Council.
Bernie Cuthel, appointed interim director of primary, community and mental health in the wake of the scandal, said the independent report had found evidence of a "closed and inward-looking culture" on the ward.
She said the problem was being tackled "head on" through "challenging workshops" making staff "confront their own behaviour and beliefs".
In contrast, Ms Cuthel noted that Health Inspectorate Wales found good team working, strong leadership and compliments from patients at the Heddfan psychiatric ward at Wrexham Maelor Hospital.
These ephemeral ecosystems support unique flora and fauna species that do not occur in permanent wetlands.
Yet these poorly understood habitats are being lost to future generations as a result of poor land-use practices, the authors observed.
The details have been published in the Global Change Biology journal.
Although these intermittent, shallow-water seasonal natural features are most closely associated with arid or semi-arid landscapes, they are more widespread than generally realised.
For example, more than half of the total river length in the US, Greece and South Africa is made up by sections that have temporary flow.
"They tend to occur during the rainy season which is when you will see shallow water but for most months of the year, it will appear to be dry," explained co-author Tatenda Dalu, from Rhodes University, South Africa.
The seasonal wetlands are dominated by aquatic biodiversity, he told BBC News.
"You have your plankton, you have your insects, which then brings in the birds to feed on these insects," Dr Dalu said.
"Some of these systems have unique communities of fish, such as the 'lung fish'."
However, these unique ecosystems were vulnerable for a number of reasons, explained Dr Dalu.
"The biggest threat we are seeing at the moment is either the digging up of the ecosystems or making them permanent.
"By making them permanent, people accidently introduce invasive species which then wipe out the unique invertebrate communities."
For example, people look to have a lake full of fish on their land. Very often, the introduced species of fish results in the unique habitat that had previously thrived in the intermittent water being squeezed to the point of becoming locally extinct.
The team also recognised that changes to the climate system were set to alter rainfall and temperature patterns.
The researchers observed in their paper: "In tropical regions of southern Africa, for example, drought is projected to be particularly problematic.
"In such areas, ephemeral wetlands are highly likely to be affected given that ephemeral aquatic environments are internally drained systems, wholly reliant on localised rainfall."
Dr Dalu said the time to act to attempt to make the wetlands more resilient was now.
"One of the most important things for us is to try to map as many of the systems as we can.
"Having a record of where these unique systems exist will be important for the development of any further legislation."
He said that the flora of ephemeral wetlands enriched people's lives, even if they were not aware of the ecological importance of such sites.
"People will tell you about some of the unique flowers they see there," he said.
"That's how people identify them but they do not know anything else about these seasonal wetlands."

The Irish sealed their place by beating Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-0 in Dublin on Monday, clinching a 3-1 aggregate win.
"This is a special night which cannot be taken away from us," said O'Neill.
"We will have a massive contingent of fans going to France and I would like to emulate the days of Jack Charlton and Mick McCarthy."
Northern Irishman O'Neill, 63, will enjoy his first experience of tournament football as a manager when he leads the team out in France, having progressed from a difficult group including world champions Germany, Poland and Scotland.
"I could not be more proud. The players have been superb right from the start when Aiden McGeady scored that late winner in the first qualifier in Georgia.

"We might be short on a few things, but courage and a determination to fight to the end have been in abundance."
Roy Keane - whose appointment as assistant manager O'Neill described as "as good a decision as I have made for a long time" - told RTE: "We do not want to go there just to make up the numbers.
"We will go there to do the country proud and put on a good performance. Doing your best, that is all you can ask."
It will be Keane's first experience of a major tournament since walking out of the squad during the World Cup in Japan and South Korea in 2002 following a dispute with McCarthy.
Double goalscorer Jon Walters said he was determined to savour the play-off success.
"To qualify the way we did is unbelievable," said the Stoke forward.

"You have to take it in because these things do not come around often in your career. These are special moments and we are delighted."
Walters, back in the team after suspension, got his first goal with a disputed penalty midway through the first half and made it 2-0 on 70 minutes.
"The whole team were heroes - everyone was incredible," he added. "We had to work hard, but we got there."
Robbie Brady, whose free-kick led to the second goal, said the victory was the highlight of his career.
"This is the type of thing you grow up dreaming about," said the Norwich City winger.
"We did what was required and now we are off to France.
"We never seem to do things the easy way, but we stuck together during the campaign and got the incredible results we needed."
Speaking to party delegates in Brasilia, Ms Rousseff promised to boost social policies that have lifted millions of people out of poverty.
The party has been in power since 2003.
Ms Rousseff - Brazil's first woman president - is a former left-wing rebel who fought against military rule in the 1960s and 1970s.
She told some 800 delegates meeting at the party's convention that her second term would see more investment in housing, education and public health.
"It is time to move forward, it is time to make more changes," she said.
Ms Rousseff also defended public spending on preparations for the football World Cup and the Olympics, which Rio de Janeiro will host in 2016.
"All the investment we have done for the World Cup in transport and other infra-structure will continue to benefit Brazilians after the event," said Ms Rousseff.
She was elected four years ago, replacing her friend and mentor, former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who served two terms.
Brazilians will go to the polls on 5 October. If no single candidate gets more than 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff on 26 October.
Analysis from the BBC's Joao Fellet, in Brasilia
Brazilians may be distracted by the World Cup but in the background the presidential election is starting to heat up.
In recent weeks, the country's major parties have been building up support. Dilma Rousseff's Workers Party (PT) has renewed its alliance with the broadly based PMDB (Brazilian Democratic Movement Party). It means her campaign will have the largest share of air time on TV and radio, and strong support in Congress if she is re-elected.
Meanwhile, the two main opposition candidates - Aecio Neves, from PSDB (Brazilian Social Democracy Party), and Eduardo Campos, from PSB (Brazilian Socialist Party) - are trying to attract smaller parties and the votes of Brazilians who are unsatisfied with the current government.
The World Cup has polarised political debate in Brazil. After Ms Rousseff was booed and cursed at during the opening ceremony in Sao Paulo, former president Lula said that the attitude reflected the "lack of respect" among the country's elite.
For Ms Rousseff, however, the boos are less important than the success of the World Cup. If the tournament ends without major failures, her opponents will lose some of the ammunition they were counting on to use to defeat her.
Opinion polls suggest that she has about 40% poll ratings, against 20% for her main opponent, Senator Aecio Neves.
But her popularity has declined over the years, with Brazilians taking to the streets to protest against corruption and spending on the World Cup and Olympics.
Party leaders have denounced "a hate campaign" against the government.
The Workers Party is expected to face its biggest electoral challenge since former President Lula came to power in 2002.
Disney's Chief Executive, Bob Iger, has described the project as the "biggest step" the company has ever taken. But there has been criticism in the Chinese media about the price visitors will have to pay.
It looks like a Disney park, with a huge "enchanted castle" anchored at the centre. It sounds like Disney, with a wave and a smiling hello - in English - from every staff member. And it feels like Disney - an escape from the real world. But park number six is different. This time Mickey Mouse - Me Low Shoe as he's known here - is Communist Party approved.
In pictures: The highs and lows of Disney Shanghai
Mr Iger first came to the site 17 years ago, when it was wasteland on the outskirts of Shanghai. Last month he had the latest of several meetings with China's President Xi Jinping. Afterwards, Mr Iger revealed that the Communist Party general secretary has already been to three Disney parks.
It's taken years of painstaking negotiation and $5.5bn, but now Mr Iger has his China park - his legacy to the company he was supposed to have departed by now.
"From the moment they enter, everything they see and experience, the attractions, the food, the entertainment, down to the smallest level of detail, is instantly recognisable not only as authentically Disney but as distinctly Chinese," he told journalists at an opening day event.
Those last few words are the mantra - the phrase he conceived to explain why and how this Disney is different.
But it comes at a price, which he wouldn't discuss with the BBC. Disney repeatedly refused our request for a sit-down interview. When I asked Mr Iger, as he left the opening event, if this Disney was only for China's wealthy he refused to answer the question.
When I asked if he was confident that the park was built without any corrupt practices he said nothing, and a security guard stopped me from going any further.
For some of the 10,000 staff behind the scenes on the 960 acre park, a day at Disney - without their uniform on - is beyond their reach. The cost for a couple with a child would likely be more than the average monthly disposable income in mainland China.
One ticket seller called Lee told me he was happy with his pay. But he couldn't talk about it. It wasn't "convenient" to discuss it, he said. It was similar for other staff. When I asked a young woman by her locker what she was paid, she replied: "I can't tell you."
Disney is unapologetic about it's "high end" food prices. It's all part of the battle for China's growing, richer middle class. It is a battle that the home-grown mega firm Wanda is up for. It opened a new resort town and familiar-looking theme park in the region just two weeks ago.
People like 40-year-old Yu Qi are a target for both. She said most of her friends had been to Disney parks abroad, "but for some reason we all believe that Disneyland in Shanghai will be the best".
Disney is banking on that sentiment. It hopes it will tempt people with its authentic offering. And there is lots to tempt 330 million people within a few hours' drive. So is it the real thing, or has Disney gone too far to ensure it gets its break in China?
On the surface, much is the same. There are rides that are common to Shanghai and other parks, and some that are unique to China. The food and the language are heavily influenced by Chinese tradition. But the overall feel is of the American offering. The big change is behind the scenes.
This is a joint venture, which is unusual for Disney. Like all firms looking to enter this market, Disney has gone into business with firms ultimately owned or controlled by the Shanghai government, which gets some of the profits and a lot of influence over how things look and how they're run.
It is, to borrow the phrase, a distinctly Chinese arrangement in an authentically Disney setting.
Security is one thing Disney insists will not change, though. Senior executives say there will be no police presence - uniformed or in plain clothes - inside the theme park, in keeping with the tradition at their other venues. Police representatives at a media briefing last month refused to confirm if that would be the case.

Germany is going to sail its 120m-long research vessel, the Polarstern, into the sea-ice at the top of the world and just let it get stuck so it can drift across the north pole.
The 2,500km (1,550-mile) trip, to begin in 2019, is likely to take a year.
Researchers hope to gather valuable new insights on the region where Earth's climate is changing fastest.
Last month the extent of Arctic sea-ice was the lowest ever recorded for a January (during the satellite era), with temperatures several degrees above the long-term average.
Prof Markus Rex will lead the so-called MOSAiC project:
"The decline of Arctic sea-ice is much faster than the climate models can reproduce and we need better climate models to make better predictions for the future.
"There is a potential that in a few decades the Arctic will be ice free in summer. That would be a different world and we need to know about that in advance; we need to know is that going to happen or will that not happen?
"Prof Rex outlined the plan for the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate here at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
The German scientist, who is affiliated to the Alfred Wegener Institute in Potsdam, said the €63m (£54m; $67m) expedition was very nearly all funded, and would have key contributions from international partners.
Other European states, such as the UK, are involved - so too the Americans, the Russians and the Chinese.
The mission has echoes of the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen's attempt in the 1890s to be the first person to reach the North Pole by drifting in a ship locked in ice.
A schooner called Tara also traversed the frozen ocean - from Siberian waters to the Fram Strait - in the same way a decade ago.
But the RV Polarstern is an enormous science platform and its list of tasks and goals dwarfs those of all previous efforts to work in the region.
"We’re bringing a vessel full with equipment: many, many measurement containers and remote sensing in-situ instruments," Prof Rex said.
"We'll take water, ice and air samples. And we'll set up camps on the sea-ice close to the Polarstern and others up to 20-30km away. And the whole set-up will drift across the Arctic. That will give us a new and absolutely fascinating insight into the climate system."
The MOSAiC team even plans to make runways on the sea-ice so research planes can take to the air in support of the RV Polarstern.
It will, however, be a difficult expedition for the scientists involved, especially during the freezing midwinter period when the Sun will not get above the horizon. The researchers will also have to keep their eyes peeled for predatory polar bears.
But Prof Rex said the endeavour was vital to our understanding of this remote region and stressed the relevance to the wider public who live far from the North Pole.
"A warmer pole would affect weather patterns at mid-latitudes," he told BBC News.
"A warming Arctic means that the temperature contrast between our latitudes and the North Pole will be reduced in the future. This means the flow of air, the wind, that blows around the Arctic will be less zonal in the future climate, and it will allow for more excursions of cold air from the Arctic to our latitudes, and more excursions of warm air from lower latitudes to the North Pole. That certainly will have a strong impact on our weather."
RV Polarstern is expected to take up position ready to be captured in the sea-ice in the late summer or autumn of 2019, with the intention of being released a year later.

The claim appeared to come as a surprise, and was not backed up by any evidence.
First Mr Obama's spokesman, then the former US intelligence chief James Clapper denied any wiretap had been ordered.
But President Trump, via his press secretary Sean Spicer, has urged Congress to investigate the "troubling" claims, alongside its current investigations into allegations of Russian hacking during the election.
FBI Director James Comey has reportedly denied the allegation and asked the US justice department to reject it.
He is said to have asked for the correction because it falsely insinuates that the FBI broke the law.
The New York Times and later by NBC quoted officials as saying that Mr Comey believed there was no evidence to support Mr Trump's allegation.
The justice department did not issue any immediate statement.
Both the House and Senate intelligence committees are currently looking into the possibility of Russian interference during the 2016 election, inquiries launched in January.
They have promised wide-ranging investigations, carried out on a bipartisan basis, which will not shy away from looking into potential links between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, as well as Russian "cyber activity".
Both committees have conceded these will be time-consuming investigations, and at least one member of the House intelligence committee has expressed his annoyance at another layer being added
"Ok @PressSec, as a member of the committee onto which you've dumped this mess, I look forward to seeing your evidence," Democrat Jim Himes tweeted.
Mr Trump and his team have provided no evidence to say the phones at Trump Tower were wiretapped, and now Mr Clapper, who was then director of national intelligence, has categorically denied such an order existed.
As intelligence director, he told NBC, he would have known about a "Fisa court order on something like this".
This is a reference to the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which can grant wiretaps on national security issues.
Mr Obama's team have outright denied any involvement, saying Mr Trump's tweets are "simply false".
A warrant, if it existed, would most likely have been ordered by the Department of Justice independently of the White House.
On Sunday, former press secretary Josh Earnest told ABC: "This may come as a surprise to the current occupant of the Oval Office, but the president of the United States does not have the authority to unilaterally order the wiretapping of an American citizen.
"If the FBI decided to use their wiretapping authority in the context of the counterintelligence or criminal investigation, it would require FBI investigators, officials at the Department of Justice going to a federal judge, and making a case, and demonstrating probable cause to use that authority to conduct the investigation. That is a fact."
The only way Mr Obama could have ordered surveillance without going through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (Fisa court) is if there was no US citizens involved.
In this case, considering the target is allegedly Trump Tower - which definitely involves American citizens - this would have been hard to argue.
The Fisa court has been described by CNN as possibly "the most powerful court you have never heard of".
The secretive court approves surveillance warrants under Fisa against "agents of a foreign power", mainly to either the FBI or NSA.
In this case, the reported target of the FBI's application was two Russian banks.
Any application has to be approved by one of 11 sitting judges.
Rumours of an order granted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (Fisa) have been circulating for some time.
On 7 November - the day before the country went to the polls - former British MP Louise Mensch reported the order was approved in October..
According to Ms Mensch, it was issued in connection with a private server and activity between two Russia banks.
She also mentions - like Mr Trump in his tweets - that an earlier order had been turned down.
In January, the BBC's Paul Wood - writing in the wake of claims the Russian government had compromising material on Mr Trump - said he also knew of the Fisa order.
Neither Mr Trump nor his associates are mentioned in the order, Mr Wood reported.
The Guardian also mentions the order at about the same time.
None of them mention wiretapping of phones.
It is then seemingly not mentioned again until Mark Levin, a conservative radio host in the US, talked about it on Thursday, when he referred to it as a "silent coup".
His show was followed up with an article in Breitbart on Friday, which mentions wiretapping and "eavesdropping" sought by the "Obama administration". It is not clear how their claims were sourced.
None of this has ever been confirmed by anyone in authority.
President Trump's tweets were sent out in a flurry the next morning. It is unclear if he was aware of any of the previous reports - he does not appear to have tweeted about it before.
The items appeared on a list of expenditure that parliament's public accounts committee (PAC), chaired by Mr Gumbo, was looking into.
Kenya's Ministry of Devolution is alleged to have bought a series of goods at inflated prices.
But the minster in charge, Anne Waiguru, said that the allegations were not true.
The corruption investigation comes as the government tries to deal with a growing budget deficit.
Mr Gumbo told the BBC that he was shocked when he saw what was on the list.
In addition to the sex toys, the ministry is also alleged to have bought over-priced condom dispensers, stationery, photocopiers and a piano and television for the minister's office.
On Wednesday, Ms Waiguru was questioned for nearly four hours by the PAC over the corruption allegations, reports the BBC's Bashkash Jugsooda'ay from the capital, Nairobi.
She denied her ministry had bought a television screen for $19,000 (£12,000), or that she was involved in the purchase of a condom dispenser for $250.
There was no mention of the sex toys.
Earlier, Ms Waiguru distanced herself from the alleged corruption saying on her Facebook page that she does "not purchase anything for the ministry".
She added that there was no TV screen or piano in her office.
Police say computers and other records had been seized and 22 people detained at its Islamabad offices, though no formal arrests have been made.
The newspaper says the company has made millions of dollars from marketing fake degrees online.
Axact has strenuously denied the allegations.
In a statement Axact called the allegations "baseless, substandard, maligning [and] defamatory" and threatened legal action against the New York Times.
The allegations have drawn attention in Pakistan as Axact has a high-profile media arm preparing to launch a TV news channel and publications in English and Urdu.
Axact's offices in Karachi were also raided as part of the investigation.

And the people moving, the hundreds of people who run the country?
That's what's being suggested in a new report which says the buildings are in such a bad way, that MPs need to go elsewhere, for 6 years, so it can be repaired.

So how, exactly, would that work? Jenny's been looking into it.
Abdelnabi Alainani, 30, left the Midpark Hospital on Tuesday - sparking a major search operation.
He has been described as of Asian appearance, about 5ft 7in tall and thin with short, dark curly hair.
A driver who travelled from Dumfries saw a man matching the description climb out of his lorry in Scunthorpe on Wednesday.
A statement from Police Scotland said they were now following "positive lines of inquiry".
The public has been asked to remain vigilant and report any further sightings to police.
The 26-year-old has scored 30 goals for the German side this season and earlier this year he became the first Gabonese to be named the Confederation of African Football player of the year.
"Becoming Africa's player of the year was extraordinary, a huge prize," Tuchel told BBC Sport.
"It made him stronger, even more self-confident."
Tuchel added: "Players like 'Auba' improve themselves with their spirit, their mentality and their will to give everything, every day.
"He plays to become a league top scorer, to get a hand on a cup or championship trophy."
Aubameyang's journey to the top has not been without difficulty. After coming through the youth system at Italian giants AC Milan, he was offloaded without playing a game.
Similar rejection then followed in France, the country of his birth, during a sequence of unproductive Ligue 1 loan deals.
Like so many Africans before him, it was at St Etienne where the then slightly-framed West African finally found his feet.
The early setbacks were formative, though, equally so the highs and lows of an Africa Cup of Nations on home soil in 2012.
Dortmund captain Mats Hummels, a World Cup winner with Germany, says his club-mate has "plenty of qualities", but singles out the forward's deadly acceleration.
"He is the fastest player I have played with or against," he said. "He also works hard for the team, which is the most important thing."
'World class'
However, Aubameyang's selection as football of the year was criticised by his four-time predecessor Yaya Toure.
"What Toure did was quite outrageous," says England-based German journalist Michael Streck of the Manchester City midfielder.
A Dortmund native, Streck tracks the Bundesliga and Premier League.
"Aubameyang has been playing at a world-class level for several years now," Streck said.
"This year Dortmund have been playing a more possession-based style than they had under Jurgen Klopp and I think Aubameyang has benefited from that, too."
Tuchel refuses credit for the most prolific season of the forward's career, however.
"I'm happy that we have a good connection, that I can help him, try to guide him on his way," he said.
"But it is his way, it is his talent and it is his achievement."
With the Bundesliga to fight for and another Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon next year, Germany and all of Africa are watching to see how far Aubameyang can go.
The Scottish SPCA said the discovery was made at St Combs on Wednesday.
A male swan was hit by four shotgun pellets and one pellet was found inside a female.
Scottish SPCA inspector Fiona Shand said: "A post mortem has revealed the pair died from a massive haemorrhage caused by gunshot trauma. The bodies may have been dumped there or could have been washed ashore."
She added: "This sort of animal cruelty is completely unacceptable and we are urging people with any information to contact us in an effort to trace whoever is responsible."
The report concluded that police should instead support the use of unmonitored cameras and more mobile CCTV systems.
It also found the removal of cameras in the area did not result in significant rises in crime.
The review comes as many local councils are reducing CCTV funding due to financial pressures.
The inquiry was carried out on behalf of Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner Christopher Salmon, who now recommends:
The recommendations will be discussed with the chief constable and council leaders before changes are made.
Residents with serious injuries have had to travel to Stockton after Hartlepool University Hospital A&E closed in 2011.
The local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) confirmed it is looking for a provider to run the hospital service.
But some campaigners believe it is not enough and have called for the return of the full A&E department.
Urgent care centres treat patients whose condition does not require A&E treatment but cannot wait for a GP appointment.
It treats problems such as sprains, broken bones and infections.
Hartlepool's £20m One Life centre has provided such services since the closure over staff shortages and plans for a so-called super hospital in Stockton. The proposals were later shelved.
Hartlepool councillor Ray Martin-Wells said: "We want to see Hartlepool's hospital back to where it was. It was a five-star hospital giving a five-star service and people never wanted to lose that.
"We want to have as many services back as possible."
Hartlepool and Stockton CCG, which decides how the local health budget is spent, said it had reviewed urgent care services and proposals to integrate them.
Glen Hughes, of the Fighting for Hartlepool Hospital campaign group, said: "It's just moving [services] from one place to another. Nothing will really change."
The One Life centre offers a walk-in service, a minor injuries unit and an out-of-hours GP service, while Stockton's North Tees Hospital deals with serious emergency cases.
A petition to save the Hartlepool Hospital's A&E unit was signed by 30,000 people, with campaigners branding the closure decision "devastating".
Police Scotland officers were called to Fernie Place in the town at about 04:00. No further information is currently available.
The game will be the second meeting since their time in charge of Barcelona and Real Madrid ended in 2012.
Both have played down the significance of their rivalry and Guardiola will offer the hand of friendship.
"Of course I will shake his hand. Why shouldn't I? We are polite guys. I want to win. So does he," he said.
When questioned on the subject, Mourinho said: "Of course I will shake his hand.
"I worked with him for three years at Barcelona. We have managed teams against each other and we are very professional. My relationship with him is normal."
The Manchester United manager was speaking at a chaotic pre-match news conference, which had to be moved outdoors.
That came the day after one of the team's planes to Beijing was forced into a unscheduled landing due to bad weather.
Guardiola and Mourinho had two seasons in direct competition with each other in Spain, between 2010 and 2012.
While they each won one La Liga title, Guardiola's Barcelona were widely regarded as superior to Mourinho's Real, with the Catalan giants winning the Champions League by beating Manchester United at Wembley in 2011.
Guardiola's side secured a 5-0 win in the first El Clasico meeting in November 2010 and, later the same season, Mourinho was sent to the stands for protesting at Pepe's red card in the Champions League semi-final, which Barcelona also won.
Possibly Mourinho's most controversial incident involving Barcelona came in August 2011, when he jabbed a finger in the eye of Guardiola's assistant Tito Vilanova.
He was banned for the incident but that was subsequently revoked.
Meanwhile, heavy rain in the Chinese capital over the past few weeks has forced organisers to move training sessions from the Bird's Nest stadium - which will host Monday's game - to the nearby Olympic Sports Centre.
And Guardiola said he is concerned about the state of the pitch.
"The most important thing is that we get no injuries [on Monday]," said Guardiola. "We have not seen the pitch but the information is that it is not in good condition."
Mourinho shares Guardiola's concerns about the playing surface.
"It's a problem for me, bad conditions for my players to train and bad conditions for my players to play" he said
"So if you ask me my objective for the match on Monday I only have one: Take the players home safe without any kind of injury."
City captain Vincent Kompany had an extended training session on his own, then sat out the main session on Sunday.
The Belgian suffered a succession of injuries last season, culminating in a groin problem that ruled him out of Euro 2016.
Guardiola is refusing to put a timescale on the centre-back's recovery.
"What happened in the last two years has been so difficult for him and the team," the manager said.
"The important thing is not when he will be fit, it is to be sure he is fit. He needs to play one week, then another, training regularly, every day.
"If the doctor says he is fit for the first game against Sunderland great. If it is the Champions League qualifiers in August great. If not, September. If not, October.
"The moment the doctor says he is ready he will be with us."
Speaking at Sunday's news conference, Mourinho confirmed one of the planes carrying Manchester United to Beijing on Saturday had to make an unscheduled stop.
The manager was on the first flight but some players were on the second flight, which landed in Tianjin, around 160km from Beijing as storms hit the Chinese capital.
"They were the unlucky ones," said Mourinho. "But this morning they had a good smile on their faces."
BBC Sport's Simon Stone in Beijing:
"What a chaotic 24 hours for Manchester United.
"Part of their squad did not arrive in Beijing until 1am on Sunday because their plane had been diverted.
"Their training schedule has been disrupted because of the rain, meaning the venue for their pre-match session had to be switched from the Bird's Nest to the Olympic Sports Centre in order to protect the pitch they will play Manchester City on on Monday.
"Jose Mourinho's planned news conference had to be scrapped due to the numbers trying to get into the small room set aside for it and the stifling conditions inside.
"When Mourinho did eventually speak, outside, hardly anyone could hear because of the number of fans attempting to get autographs.
"That was observed by executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who had flown in from Manchester, and co-owners Joel and Avram Glazer, who had also come down from Shanghai.
"And then the rain began again. With more forecast on Monday, the first overseas Manchester derby might not be quite so alien after all." | Britain's Chris Froome extended his lead at the Vuelta a Espana as France's Julian Alaphilippe took victory on the 199km stage eight.

The five-time Grand Slam winner has been banned by the International Tennis Federation for using a prohibited drug.
Murray told BBC Radio 5 live that Sharapova's punishment made it clear "that there's not going to be any hiding place for drug cheats".
Roger Federer said he supported a "zero tolerance" stance against doping.
Sharapova, 29, was provisionally banned in March after testing positive for the heart disease drug meldonium - which became a banned substance on 1 January 2016 - at this year's Australian Open.
Men's world number three Federer, who has won 17 Grand Slams, added: "It doesn't matter if they did it on purpose or not, I don't really see the difference.
"You need to know what goes into your body, you have to be 100% sure of what's going on. If you're not, you're going to be damned.
"Of course she's got the right to fight the case, like everybody else as well. I'm just for zero tolerance.
"I stay by my word that we should be saving blood samples for 10, 15, 20 years to come, so you have to scare away the people who think they could cheat.
"You have to scare them so they will not do it, so they could retroactively also be banned, and take away titles and so forth."

Sharapova has said she would appeal against the "unfairly harsh" ban.
Murray said it would be "very tough" for the Russian to return to the pinnacle of her sport following the conclusion of her ban.
"You can continue to train, to keep fit but losing match fitness... that's what helps you win," added Murray. "It will be very difficult for her to come back at 31, almost 32."
Sharapova's former coach, Gabe Jaramillo, said the player would be determined to ensure her career ended on a good note.
"She's so competitive and she's so smart that these two years or year-and-a-half, she's going to be working hard, she's going to stay in shape, she's going to be playing because she wants to come back," he said.
"She doesn't want to leave the game with this thing over her head. I bet you she wants to leave the game on a good note and she is going to try her best to get back there again and, if I have to bet, I would bet that she will make it again. Because she's not going to give up."
The socially-savvy First Lady is aiming to connect with young people on the popular app, where posts disappear within 24 hours.
She hopes to use it to publicise her trip but her first post was a selfie.
She also previewed her appearance on Late Late Show host James Corden's viral segment, Carpool Karaoke.
Kelsey Donohue, who works in the Obama's communication office, announced the First Lady's debut on Snapchat in a Medium blog post.
Followers can expect a glimpse of the First Lady's daily life, ranging from snaps of the White House Kitchen Garden to tips on staying active as a part of her Let's Move! campaign.
The First Lady will also use her new account to showcase her upcoming trip, with guest appearances from actresses Meryl Streep and Freida Pinto in Africa.
Mrs Obama's teen daughters Malia and Sasha will also accompany her on the trip.
She maintains an active social media presence, with 4.58m followers on Twitter and 5m on Instagram.
Parliament, which was in recess for the EU referendum, was recalled to remember Mrs Cox, 41, who was described as "perfect" by her family.
Politicians are now at a memorial service at St Margaret's Church.
Speaker John Bercow said the Commons had gathered in "heartbreaking sadness" but also in "heartfelt solidarity".
A charity fundraising appeal set up in Mrs Cox's memory has now raised more than £1 million.
As he led the tributes in a packed House of Commons, Mr Bercow said Mrs Cox had "outstanding qualities... she was caring, eloquent, principled and wise".
"Above all she was filled with and fuelled by love for humanity. Devoted to her family and a relentless campaigner for equality, human rights and social justice," he added.
Mr Bercow added: "An attack like this strikes not only at an individual, but at our freedom. That is why we assemble here, both to honour Jo and to redouble our dedication to democracy."
Mrs Cox's husband, Brendan, and their two children were in the public gallery to hear MPs' tributes, along with Mrs Cox's parents Jean and Gordon, sister Kim and other family members.
A white and a red rose were placed in Mrs Cox's usual place on the Labour benches.
Speaking next, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told MPs, who were wearing white roses in memory of Mrs Cox: "We have lost one of our own and society as a whole has lost one of our very best."
He said Mrs Cox - whose 42nd birthday would have been on Wednesday - had spent her life serving and campaigning "for other people" - at home and abroad - both in her charity work and as an MP.
He called her death "an attack on democracy and our whole country has been shocked and saddened by it... and was united in grief".
He appealed for "a kinder and gentler politics", saying politicians had a responsibility "not to whip up hatred or sow division".
In her honour, he said "we can come together to change our politics to tolerate a little more and condemn a little less".
Prime Minister David Cameron described Mrs Cox, the MP for Batley and Spen, as an "extraordinary colleague and friend", who was a humanitarian "to her core" who brought out "the best" in people.
"She was a voice of compassion, whose boundless energy lit up the lives of all who knew her and saved the lives of many she never met."
He said her killing was a "sickening and despicable" act and, like the speakers before him, offered condolences to her family.
Mr Cameron added: "We pay tribute to a loving, determined, passionate and progressive politician, who epitomised the best of humanity and proved so often the power of politics to make the world a better place."
Several MPs could be seen in tears as tributes were made from across the House to Mrs Cox as a charity worker, an MP, a wife and a mother.
She was "struck down too soon", said Labour MP for Leeds West Rachel Reeves, who told MPs "it now falls on all of our shoulders to carry on Jo's work - to combat and guard against hatred, intolerance and injustice and serve others with dignity and love".
Ms Reeves added, to tears, that Batley and Spen would go on to elect a new MP, "but no one can replace a mother".
Conservative MP Andrew Mitchell said Mrs Cox was a "truly exceptional woman" whose "goodness and passionate dedication to humanitarian values has inspired us all."
He said she would not want her death to change the "open and accessible relationship" MPs enjoy with their constituents, but she would want the UK to redouble its efforts to resolve the Syrian crisis, which he called "the greatest catastrophe of our age".
For the Lib Dems, leader Tim Farron said MPs stood "united" to mourn the death of "an enormous figure in this House".
He added: "The snatching away of a wife and a mother, hugely loving and hugely loved, is what has moved Britain to stand in collective grief this last few days."
"A proud Yorkshire lass," was how Conservative MP Stuart Andrew remembered Mrs Cox. He said he would miss her "passion and conviction" but above all "her smile".
Meanwhile, Stephen Kinnock, who shared an office with Mrs Cox, a friend for 20 years, said Mrs Cox gave "a voice to the voiceless and spoke truth to power" and exemplified the "best values" of Labour and the country.
Echoing the sentiment of others, he said her legacy must be a politics of "hope note fear, respect not hate, unity not division".
In very rare and emotional scenes in the Commons chamber, MPs broke in to applause in memory of the MP as they filed out of the chamber, many comforting each other as they wiped away tears.
The MPs then proceeded to St Margaret's Church, alongside members of the House of Lords, to St Margaret's Church, where a short memorial service will take place for Mrs Cox.
A church service was held in Batley and Spen on Sunday to remember the life of Mrs Cox, who was described as a "21st Century Good Samaritan".
Mrs Cox's sister Kim Leadbeater has thanked the community for their support, saying it had "genuinely made a difference" and helped the family through some "dark times".
Friends of Mrs Cox have announced plans for a public event in Trafalgar Square in London on Wednesday.
There have also been calls for a memorial to be installed at Westminster to remember her.
Mrs Cox is the first sitting MP to be killed since Conservative Ian Gow was blown up by the IRA in 1990.
Thomas Mair, 52, from Birstall, faces charges of murder, grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of an offensive weapon in connection with the attack on Mrs Cox.
He refused to give his correct name and did not reply when asked to confirm his address and date of birth at an appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
When asked to confirm he was Thomas Mair at the Old Bailey on Monday, he replied: "Yes, I am."
There was no application for bail and he was remanded in custody. He will appear at the same court for a preliminary hearing before Mr Justice Saunders at 10:00 BST on Thursday.
The study, published in Nature Communications, suggested Ganoderma lucidum slowed weight gain by altering bacteria in the gut.
The researchers suggested the mushroom could eventually be used in the treatment of obesity.
Experts said the science was good, but putting mushroom extract in cans of cola would not help people lose weight.
G. lucidum has traditionally been sold for "health and longevity" say researchers at Chang Gung University.
They analysed the impact of the fungus on mice being fed a high-fat diet.
Those on just a high-fat diet reached 42g after their first two months whereas mice that were also fed a high dose of mushroom extract reached only 35g.
Mice were still much slimmer if they were fed a normal diet.
In their report, the team said mushroom extract "may be used as pre-biotics to reduce body weight gain, chronic inflammation and insulin resistance [type 2 diabetes] in obese individuals."
Although this would, they said, need further testing in people.
The team in Taiwan showed that adding the mushroom to the mice's meals altered the types of bacteria living in the gut.
Gut bugs are heavily involved in digestion and the release of energy, and some species are associated with slim people and others with fat people.
The scientists showed that transplanting faeces from the mushroom-fed mice to other mice - known as horizontal faeces transfer - helped the recipient keep off the pounds.
Prof Colin Hill, a microbiologist at University College Cork in Ireland, told the BBC News website: "I like the idea of some of these Chinese medicine stories coming back into science, I love the idea of revisiting traditional medicines.
"The microbiome is certainly a key player in weight gain and weight loss, it's certainly involved in extracting energy from our food.
"But no intervention will overcome someone drinking lots of fizzy drinks, there won't be a magic pill, no mushroom extract in a can of coke will help people lose weight."
His re-election to the post almost a year later was not such a surprise but could prove even more momentous in terms of Labour's direction in the coming years and the future course of British politics.
Seeing off the challenge of Owen Smith, who had the backing of the majority of Labour MPs, has made Mr Corbyn, for the time being at least, seemingly unassailable and increased the likelihood that he will lead the opposition into the next general election - scheduled for 2020.
If that is the case, Mr Corbyn will be a highly influential figure during one of the most important political periods of the past 50 years - as the clock ticks down to the UK's exit from the EU following the Brexit referendum vote.
To his critics, he is almost a caricature of the archetypal "bearded leftie", an unelectable throwback to the dark days of the 1980s, when Labour valued ideological purity more than winning power.
But to his army of supporters he is the only honest man left in politics, someone who can inspire a new generation of activists, and make them believe that there is an alternative to the neo-liberal Thatcherite consensus that has let them down so badly.
A fixture on the British left for more than 40 years, he has been an almost ever-present figure at demos and marches, a joiner of committees, a champion of controversial causes, a tireless pamphleteer, handy with a megaphone.
But not even his most ardent admirers would have had him down as a future leader of Her Majesty's opposition. And not just because he believes in the abolition of the Monarchy.
Corbyn's brand of left-wing politics was meant to have been consigned to the dustbin of history by New Labour.
He belongs to what had been a dwindling band of MPs, which also includes Diane Abbott and John McDonnell, who held fast to their socialist principles as their party marched moved right - and into power - under Tony Blair.
At the start of the 2015 leadership contest, after scraping on to the ballot paper at the last minute, thanks to charity nominations from Labour MPs who wanted a token left-wing candidate to "broaden the debate", he explained to The Guardian why he had decided to run.
"Well, Diane and John have done it before, so it was my turn."
Asked if he had taken some persuading, he replied: "Yeah. I have never held any appointed office, so in that sense it's unusual, but if I can promote some causes and debate by doing this, then good. That's why I'm doing it."
He added: "At my age I'm not likely to be a long-term contender, am I?"
That view was quickly revised as Corbynmania took hold. Something about the Islington North MP struck a chord with Labour leadership voters in a way that his three younger, more polished, more careerist, rivals patently did not.
Despite, or perhaps because, of his unassuming, low-key style, he seemed able to inspire people who had lost faith in Labour during the Blair/Brown years and bring hope to young activists fired up by his anti-austerity message.
His entry into the contest also prompted a surge in people - many from the left of the existing Labour membership - joining the party or paying £3 to become registered supporters.
His perceived integrity and lifelong commitment to the socialist cause made him an attractive option to many left-wing voters jaded by the spin and soundbites of the Westminster political classes.
Over the course of a year or so since becoming leader he has become something of a cult figure - ironic for someone who always insisted he didn't do personality politics and had never tried to cultivate a following among MPs.
Instead of amusing anecdotes about youthful indiscretions, or tales of climbing Westminster's greasy pole, his political biography is dominated by the list of the causes he has championed and committees he has served on.
He once confessed he had never smoked cannabis - practically unheard of in the left-wing circles he grew up in, but the mark of a man who is known for his austere, almost ascetic, approach to life.
His frugality is legendary. He usually has the lowest expenses claims of any MP.
"Well, I don't spend a lot of money, I lead a very normal life, I ride a bicycle and I don't have a car," he told The Guardian.
Asked what his favourite biscuit was during a Mumsnet Q&A , he answered: "I'm totally anti-sugar on health grounds, so eat very few biscuits, but if forced to accept one, it's always a pleasure to have a shortbread."
Jeremy Bernard Corbyn had an impeccable middle-class upbringing.
He spent his early years in the picturesque Wiltshire village of Kington St Michael. When he was seven, the family moved to a seven-bedroomed manor house in the hamlet of Pave Lane, in Shropshire.
The youngest of four boys, he enjoyed an idyllic childhood in what he himself has called a rural "Tory shire".
Personal life: Lives with third wife. Has three sons from earlier marriage.
Food and drink: A vegetarian who rarely drinks alcohol. According to The Guardian, his favourite restaurant is Gaby's diner in London's West End, where he likes to eat hummus after taking part in demonstrations in Trafalgar Square.
Hobbies: Running, cycling, cricket and Arsenal football club. According to the Financial Times: "He loves making jam with fruit grown on his allotment, belongs to the All Party Parliamentary Group for Cheese and is a borderline trainspotter." He does not own a car. He is known for having an unusual hobby - an interest in the history and design of manhole covers.
Culture: A lover of the works of Irish poet WB Yeats. His favourite novelist is said to be the late Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe, whose most famous work, Things Fall Apart, is about the tensions between colonialism and traditional societies. He is a fluent Spanish speaker and enjoys Latin American literature. His favourite films are said to be The Great Gatsby and Casablanca.
His brother Piers, now a meteorologist known for denying climate change is a product of human activity, has described the Corbyn boys as "country bumpkins".
Corbyn disagrees with his brother on climate change but they remain close. They both learned their politics at the family dinner table, where left-wing causes and social justice were a frequent topic of debate.
Their maths teacher mother Naomi and electrical engineer father David were peace campaigners who met at a London rally for supporters of Spain's Republicans in the fight against Franco's fascists.
Piers, who would go on to be a well-known squatters leader in 1960s London, was even further to the left than Jeremy.
Both boys joined the local Wrekin Labour Party and the Young Socialists while still at school.
Corbyn had begun his education at the fee-paying preparatory school, Castle House, in Newport, before moving into the state sector, after passing his 11-plus.
He was one of only two Labour-supporting boys at Adams Grammar School, in Newport, when his class held a mock election in 1964.
In an interview with The Sun, his friend Bob Mallett recalls Corbyn being jeered by his right-wing schoolmates: "Jeremy was the Labour candidate and I his campaign manager because at a middle-class boarding grammar school in leafy Shropshire, there weren't many socialists. We were trounced."
Corbyn left Adams with two A levels, both at grade E, and an enduring hatred of selective education.
"It was an illegal war and therefore [Tony Blair] has to explain to that. Is he going to be tried for it? I don't know. Could he be tried for it? Possibly," on the Iraq war.
"Are super-rich people actually happy with being super-rich? I would want the super rich to pay properly their share of the needs of the rest of the community," on Channel 4 News.
"He was a fascinating figure who observed a great deal and from whom we can learn a great deal," on Karl Marx to the BBC's Andrew Marr.
"Without exception, the majority electricity, gas, water and railway infrastructures of Britain were built through public investment since the end of WW2 and were all privatised at knockdown prices for the benefit of greedy asset-strippers by the Thatcher and Major-led Tory governments," in his column for the Morning Star newspaper.
"Some people say to me, are we still worried about Hiroshima. My reply is that the weapons were used specifically against civilians and while 'fireworks' compared to what is now available, killed and have killed for the past 59 years. Nuclear weapons have saved no lives, killed thousands and maimed many more and impoverished the poor nations who have them," on his website.
"I started wearing a beard when I was 19 and living in Jamaica; they called me 'Mr Beardman,'" on winning the Beard Liberation Front's Beard of the Year award in 2002.
He reportedly split up with his second wife Claudia after she insisted on sending their son Ben - now a football coach with Premier League Watford - to Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, in Barnet, instead of an Islington comprehensive.
After leaving school, Corbyn spent two years in Jamaica, with Voluntary Service Overseas, something he has described as an "amazing" experience.
Back in the UK he threw himself into trade union activism, initially with now long defunct National Union of Tailors and Garment Makers.
He started a course in Trade Union Studies at North London Polytechnic but left after a series of arguments with his tutors over the curriculum.
"He probably knew more than them," Piers told The Sun.
A successful career as a trade union organiser followed, with the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union (AEEU) and then the National Union of Public Employees (NUPE).
But his real passion was for Labour Party politics - and in 1974 he was elected to Haringey District Council, in North London.
In the same year he married fellow Labour councillor, Jane Chapman, a university lecturer.
Chapman says she married Corbyn for his "honesty" and "principles" but she soon grew weary of his intense focus on politics.
"Politics became our life. He was out most evenings because when we weren't at meetings he would go to the Labour headquarters, and do photocopying - in those days you couldn't print because there were no computers,' she told The Mail on Sunday.
"Jeremy is a saintly figure of enormous personal integrity. He is a man who lives his life according to his beliefs," former Labour MP Chris Mullin, speaking to Panorama.
"If Jeremy Corbyn becomes leader it won't be a defeat like 1983 or 2015 at the next election. It will mean rout, possibly annihilation", former Labour leader and prime minister Tony Blair.
"The showbiz glitz of New Labour temporarily hid the hole where the heart of Labour was supposed to be. Now the 'Corbynites' (whoever expected to use that phrase?) are trying to hide that hole behind some old banners and a bloke with a beard," left-wing commentator Mick Hume.
"There is something inherently virtuous about him, and that is a quality that can rally the support of a lot of people, and most importantly, a lot of young people," singer and activist Charlotte Church (pictured).
"While most of his chums have all moderated their views, dumped their corduroy jackets and grey suits, shaved their beards and quietly cancelled their CND subscriptions, [he] has hardly changed a bit; he is the Fidel Castro of London N1," Telegraph journalist Robert Hardman.
They shared a love of animals, they had a tabby cat called Harold Wilson, and enjoyed camping holidays together in Europe on Corbyn's motorbike.
But fun was in short supply at home, recalls Chapman, who remains in touch with Corbyn and backed his leadership bid.
During their five years together he never once took her dinner, she told The Mail, preferring instead to "grab a can of beans and eat it straight from the can" to save time.
In 1987, Corbyn married Claudia Bracchita, a Chilean exile, with whom he had three sons. The youngest, Tommy, was born while Corbyn was lecturing NUPE members elsewhere in the same hospital. Twenty-five-year-old Seb has been helping out on his father's leadership campaign.
The couple separated in 1999, but remained on good terms.
Corbyn got married for a third time last year, to his long term partner Laura Alvarez, a 46-year-old Mexican fair trade coffee importer.
In the bitter internal warfare that split Labour in the late 1970s and early eighties, Corbyn was firmly on the side of the quasi-Marxist hard left.
A Labour man to his fingertips - he was no Militant "entryist" trying to infiltrate the party by stealth - he nevertheless found common cause with former Trotskyists such as Ted Knight, and joined them in their battle to push the party to the left.
He became a disciple of Tony Benn, sharing his mentor's brand of democractic socialism, with its belief in worker controlled industries and state planning of the economy, as well as Benn's commitment to unilateral nuclear disarmament and a united Ireland.
Here is just a small selection of the campaigns Jeremy Corbyn has been involved with over the past 50 years.
Nuclear disarmament: Joined CND as a schoolboy in 1966
Irish Republicanism: Organised Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams' visit to the Commons in 1983. Once employed Irish Republican dissident Ronan Bennett as a member of staff at Westminster
Miners' strike: Invited striking miners into Commons gallery in 1985 who were expelled for shouting "Coal not Dole"
Anti-Apartheid: serving on the National Executive of the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and was arrested in 1984 for protesting outside South Africa House
Palestinian solidarity: A member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and campaigns regularly against the conflict in Gaza
Miscarriages of justice: Worked on on behalf of the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six, who were eventually found to be have been wrongly convicted of IRA bombings in England in the mid-1970s
Animal rights: Joined the League Against Cruel Sports at school, became a vegetarian at 20, after working on a pig farm
Iraq war: Chaired the Stop the War coalition
Gay rights: Spoke out in 1983 on a "No socialism without gay liberation" platform and continued to campaign for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender rights
Corbyn was never seen as a great orator like Benn, or a firebrand like miners' leader Arthur Scargill, but he worked tirelessly behind the scenes, his trousers stained with purple ink from the copying machines that produced the pamphlets and newspapers that were the lifeblood of the British Left in the pre-internet era.
He ran the London Labour Briefing newspaper, which helped propel Ken Livingstone to power on the Greater London Council.
He was elected to Parliament in 1983, to represent his home patch of Islington North, a seat he has held ever since and where he has increased his majority from 5,600 to 21,000, and as a back benchers was by most accounts a popular and hard-working MP.
The Bennite faction that Corbyn belonged to was already in retreat, following their leader's failure to capture the deputy leadership of the party in 1981.
After fighting and losing the 1983 election on arguably the most left-wing manifesto it had ever put before the British public, with its commitment to renationalising the utilities just privatised by the Thatcher government, pulling out of the EU, nuclear disarmament and the creation of a "national investment bank" to create jobs, Labour began the painful process of "modernisation" that led to the birth of New Labour.
And Corbyn would spend the next 32 years on the backbenches fighting a rearguard action against his party's abandonment of the radical policies and values contained in the '83 manifesto in the name of electability, under Neil Kinnock, John Smith and, most notably, Tony Blair.
Corbyn might have hailed from the same North London district as Blair and entered Parliament in the same year but that is where the similarity ended.
He abhorred Blair's embrace of free market economics and did his best to be a thorn in the younger man's side throughout his time in Downing Street, although Blair's large majorities ensured the damage was barely noticeable.
He would always vote with his conscience, rather than be dictated to by the party whips.
It earned him the accolade of being Labour's most rebellious MP, defying the party managers more than 500 times.
It also meant he and his allies became increasingly isolated, with their views and interventions ignored by the mainstream media and most of their colleagues on the Labour benches.
Blair's dire warnings that Labour would face "annihilation" if it elected Corbyn during the leadership contest were met by Corbyn with a suggestion that his predecessor as Labour leader should probably face trial for war crimes over his role in the Iraq war.
Corbyn and his comrades - unlike their modernising colleagues they would use the term without irony - routinely attached themselves to any cause that felt like it would strike a blow against British and American "imperialism" or the Israeli state.
Internationalist in outlook, they would proclaim solidarity with socialist campaigns and governments in places like Cuba, Chile, Nicaragua, El Salvador and attack US policies that, in Corbyn's view, enslaved the Latin American world.
He incurred the wrath of the Labour leadership early on his career when he invited two former IRA prisoners to speak at Westminster, two weeks after the Brighton bomb that had nearly killed Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet.
Later on it would be his willingness to share platforms with representatives of Hamas and Hezbollah that would put him at the centre of controversy. When challenged, he insists he does not share their views but that peace will never be achieved without talking to all sides.
He may have been largely sidelined in the House of Commons, respected but too much of a known quantity to have an impact, but Corbyn's stature and profile outside Parliament continued to grow.
He chaired the Stop the War Coalition and became a leading figure in the anti-austerity movement, which began to attract large crowds of young activists eager for something to believe in and to take the fight to then Prime Minister David Cameron.
Still, no one gave Corbyn a prayer when he entered the contest to succeed Ed Miliband as Labour leader, with bookmakers offering a price of 200-1.
His elevation to rock star status, among the crowds who flocked to his leadership campaign meetings, must have been as much of a shock to Corbyn as it was to his opponents, but he never showed it.
He carried on, just as he always had, railing against inequality, talking about hope, promising to renationalise industries, tax the rich and scrap Trident, and wearing the same white, open-necked shirt with pens sticking out of the top pocket.
Only now people were listening.
During that leadership campaign Jeremy Corbyn is understood to have rejected pleas from some supporters for him to stand aside, having made his point and injected new life into Labour's left, to leave the field clear for a younger candidate who might have more electoral appeal. He appeared determined to make a go of the leadership.
Many "moderate" shadow cabinet members returned to the backbenches rather than serve under him but he was able to put together a top team that reflected a broad range of opinion within the party.
He sought to bring a new approach to leadership, adopting a less confrontational and more conversational tone at Prime Minister's Questions and generally refraining from either sound bites or photo opportunities - to the exasperation of what his supporters call the "mainstream media" and the derision of some commentators.
The coalition behind Mr Corbyn held together for nine months, despite growing discontent among Labour MPs who had never wanted him as leader and could not accept either his style of leadership or his policies.
The EU referendum brought things to a head. Corbyn, who had been a Eurosceptic as a backbencher, was accused of mounting a half-hearted campaign to keep Britain in the EU and of not appearing to care too much that his side had lost.
Labour MPs, some of whom had been plotting to topple Corbyn at some point, saw this as the chance to make their move to try and force him to stand down, amid fears they would be wiped out at a snap election they expected to follow the referendum with him as leader.
He faced a mass walkout from the shadow cabinet and then a vote of no confidence, which he lost by 172 votes to 40, as Labour MPs - enemies and previously loyal shadow ministers alike - urged him to quit.
He refused to budge, pointing to the huge mandate he had received from Labour members and arguing that he had done better than many had expected in the electoral tests he had faced since becoming leader.
MPs selected Owen Smith, a former member of his shadow cabinet who claimed to share the same left wing values, to take him on in another leadership election.
So Jeremy Corbyn, the reluctant leader who had to be persuaded to stand in 2015, now found himself fighting to hold on to a position he never expected to hold, this time as favourite rather than as outsider.
And, back on the campaign trail among his own supporters, he seemed to rather enjoy himself.
As was the case a year earlier, thousands of people flocked to hear Mr Corbyn speak at rallies across the country - 10,000 turned up at a single event in Liverpool - as he sought to tap directly into grassroots support for his message as a counterweight to the perceived hostility of the "mainstream media".
In an unconventional campaign which saw him endorsed by UB40 but vilified by JK Rowling, the only genuine moment of discomfort came during "traingate" - when his claims that a train was so "ram-packed" that he had to sit on the floor came into question after Virgin Trains released footage showing him passing empty seats.
Mr Corbyn's re-election has strengthened his position, with signs some of his critics are willing to serve under him again despite their differences.
But it remains to be seen whether his commitment to reach out to his opponents and focus squarely on winning the next election will act as springboard to a new phase of his leadership or prove only a temporary respite in what some have said is an existential battle for control of the party.
Helsinki lead Finland's Veikkausliga with one loss in 16 games and scored 18 goals in their last five wins.
But after Woolfe's cross-shot put Nomads ahead just before half-time, Helsinki could find no way through against a fine defensive effort.
The Welsh side take their slender lead into the return leg on Thursday 6 July.
The winners will face Moldovan side Dacia Chisinau or Shkëndija of Macedonia in the second qualifying round.
Connah's Quay Nomads manager Andy Morrison told BBC Wales Sport:
"It's a staggering performance and result, I am immensely proud of the lads.
"It's a fantastic night for Connah's Quay and Welsh football.
"I said before the game we had to respect this team. They have won six out of six and scored 20 goals and only conceded one goal, so they were flying in their league.
"A lot of their players were being watched by European clubs. That team have aspirations of getting to the Europa League [group stage].
"But we don't fear anyone and that's the identity of this club.
"When they walked off the pitch our lads had earned their respect... they were doing cartwheels in Uefa headquarters when they drew us, because we were probably the lowest ranked team in there."
"They have had a wake-up call and it's going to be a hell of a game at their place.
"It's going to be a massive ask but our lads have shown enough tonight and there is enough fight to go over there with no fear.
"It's half-time. The preparation will be better this week looking at the game but we have also lost the element of surprise with the opposition.
"It adds pressure on them though because they know if they lose that game it's an horrendous result for them with the history they have had in European football.
"They have dominated Finnish football for two or three decades and are in Champions League or Europa League every year, so they are under pressure.
"We will create problems and score a goal. We need to because you can't keep a team like that out for 180 minutes.
"We showed last year we can get a goal away from home because we are very good in the final third with our set plays."
Michael Macdonald, 30, fell in South Uist as he walked home from a friend's house at 02:00 on 27 November 2011.
He is now seeking £20,000 damages from Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles Council) at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
The local authority is contesting the action.
Mr Macdonald, who at the time worked as a chef at the Lochboisdale Hotel on the island, said it was so dark on the night the accident happened that "if you put your hand up in front of your face you couldn't see it."
He said he had gone to visit a friend after work, and was walking home when he realised he had left his keys at his friend's house.
As he turned around, he caught the edge of a kerb and fell.
Mr Macdonald said he was left hanging onto the lamp post after the accident before people came to help him, as he couldn't stand.
Mr Macdonald, who now lives in Bornish, also on South Uist, said he had been expecting the street lights to be on. He had been living in Lochboisdale for about two years at the time of the accident, and claimed that normally the lights would stay on all night.
He said there were no signs informing people that the lights were going off, and explained that had he known they were, he would have taken a torch.
Mr Macdonald said he was "very sure" that the accident would not have happened had the lights been on.
He said he still suffers stiffness and swelling following the fracture to his ankle.
The counsel said the court may hear evidence that the council had taken the decision to save money by switching the lights off, despite the fact that the council knew "or ought to have known" that Lochboisdale had a population of about 300 residents.
The court heard that staff and customers at the hotel might use the street in question after midnight, and also that the Barra ferry occasionally came in after that time.
The judge hearing the action, Lord Matthews, was told that damages had been agreed at £20,000 if liability was established.
Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar is contesting the case, which continues.

Murphy, who played under McCall for two years at Motherwell, could win his first cap against Denmark on Tuesday.
Several wide attackers block his path to a berth in Gordon Strachan's squad.
"If you're playing better than the other guy, regardless of how many caps he's got, you're fresh and taking on board the way we want to play, the door's open definitely," said McCall.
"I think there's an opportunity - if you go in there and make an impression with Gordon, be it in training or round the place and in games."
McCall believes the 26-year-old Brighton winger can make an impact, particularly if he does not allow his naturally unassuming personality prevent him playing a significant role in the team.
Murphy will compete with the likes of Robert Snodgrass, Ikechi Anya, Shaun Maloney, Matt Ritchie, Steven Naismith and Matt Phillips for game-time.
"Certainly in training he was fantastic," continued McCall. "The thing with Jamie - he sometimes doesn't believe in himself. He's got all the ability, old snake-hips.
"He's a quiet lad. You try to get him to demand the ball from senior pros like Scott Brown or Shaun Maloney and the more training went on, the more he was doing it.
"That's what you want. When you meet up you don't want people to be in the their shell."
Murphy has scored six goals in helping Brighton to challenge for automatic promotion to the English Premier League and McCall feels the route he has taken has helped his progression as a player.
"The improvement I've seen in Jamie - I think it was good he went to Sheffield United, I think that was a good stepping block but he's then got another move," added the coach.
"I think sometimes boys coming from Scotland down to England - can you go to a club where you're going to play regularly? Jamie's done it well and who's to say he can't go higher?
"With the progress he's making, I speak to people who see Brighton a lot and Jamie's been doing well and I'm really pleased with what he's done over the last couple of days.
"And he should be confident. He's playing at a top level, for a good side who are aiming to get into the Premier League."
Murphy himself is confident in his own ability to impress, despite a modesty that can be mistaken for nervousness.
"I'm enjoying it while I'm here," he said. "I'm trying to do the best I can and try and prove to everyone I deserve to be here and hopefully I'll be involved on Tuesday.
"The manager obviously thinks we deserve to be here so it's up to us to prove him right.
"I've been doing well [at Brighton]. It's a tough league but I've managed to score some goals and I've played most of the games as well. We've got a good chance of getting promoted so we've got a big end to the season coming up.
"I've scored a few goals in the last couple of months so the manager's obviously taken note and brought me in so it's up to me to keep trying to score goals and play well."
Hendrie joined the Hammers from Hamilton for an undisclosed fee in July 2015, having made 117 appearances for the Scottish club.
The 21-year-old, who has won three caps for Scotland's under-21 squad, has yet to feature for West Ham's senior team.
Hendrie could make his debut for the Shrimpers when they visit Peterborough United on Saturday.
"I spoke to his former manager, Alex Neil, to ask about the type character we're bringing in," manager Phil Brown told the club website.
"He says he's a solid character, reliable, got bags of energy and probably his biggest asset will be his legs, as he can run all day.
"He brings a lovely left foot to the party, as Ben Coker does, so he's got a great opportunity to get his career going in England at Southend United."

The character, wielding a green flag emblazoned with Arabic writing, was pitted against a Union Flag-bearing opponent during the Superslam show at Butlin's in Skegness.
The holiday camp has apologised after a guest complained that the event was in poor taste.
The show's promoters said they had made a "clear error of judgement".
Father-of-two Christian Cerisola, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, complained after attending the bout with his children on Saturday.
Mr Cerisola described the show as "an horrific race hate-filled 10 minutes with everything wrong on racial stereotypes".
He said: "I felt I was dropped into the middle of a Britain First rally.
"Out came 'Hakim', an Islamic flag-waving baddie, and then came Union flag trunk-wearing Tony Spitfire, chanting 'En-Ger-land' over and over.
"It was the fact we were encouraged to cheer the Englishman with his jingoistic name, Tony Spitfire, and boo a very stereotypical style of Muslim.
"In my mind we were led to believe Hakim was the Muslim against the good English guy."
A spokesman for Butlin's said it was "very concerned" to receive the complaint and an investigation had been launched.
"We thank the guest for bringing this to our attention," he said. "We have since spoken to him to assure him this is a matter we are investigating and to apologise for the distress caused.
"We would like to assure guests that this was a very unfortunate one-off which we find completely unacceptable, and is totally contrary to Butlin's values. It will not happen again."
Brian Dixon, managing director of All-Star Wrestling, said: "Saturday's wrestling show was different to the agreed content, and Butlin's were not made aware of the change.
"We regret this clear error of judgment, as well as the obvious offence and upset caused.
"We wish to apologise to Butlin's and their guests, and stress that this will not happen again."

Ex-England boss Fabio Capello saw his Russia side take an early lead when an unmarked Aleksandr Kokorin headed in from Dmitri Kombarov's left-wing cross.
But Algeria grabbed an equaliser in the second half as Islam Slimani converted from Yacine Brahimi's free-kick.
Russia could not score a winning goal as Algeria held on to secure a tie with Germany in the second round on Monday.
However, the north Africans' equaliser was a controversial one as television pictures showed a laser from the crowd had been shone in the face of Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev moments before the goal.
Nevertheless, the CSKA Moscow custodian will be unhappy with the concession as he came off his line to try to intercept Brahimi's delivery but failed to get there ahead of Slimani.
The goalkeeper had also made a costly error in his side's opening 1-1 draw with South Korea as he let a shot from Lee Keun-Ho slip through his fingers and into the net.
"Russia were shocking at the last Euros, and they never seem to improve. Everyone thinks that they'll do well, because the Russian League looks quite strong. But they don't have any width or clever players.
"They've no one who can beat anyone. They've never had a number nine and they're clueless going forward. There's nothing to them."
Those dropped points proved decisive as Algeria, who failed to advance past the first phase in 1982, 1986 and 2010, joined Group H winners Belgium in the next round.
Capello had guided England into the last 16 in South Africa but his Russia side failed to win any of their three group games in Brazil. They only found the net twice and did not have the cutting edge to score another against the Algerians, despite piling on the pressure in the closing stages.
The Russians - who will host the 2018 finals - knew a victory would put them through to the last 16 and they made a perfect start as they took the lead in the sixth minute.
Viktor Fayzulin released Kombarov and his cross was met by Kokorin, who powered a header from 12 yards past goalkeeper Rais M'bolhi.
Algeria fought their way back into the game, but Akinfeev saved weak efforts from Djamel Mesbah and Brahimi and was also well placed to block Slimani's powerful header from eight yards.
Russia almost doubled their lead three minutes into the second half, but Aleksandr Samedov was denied by M'bolhi after linking up with Kokorin.
But Slimani, who scored in Algeria's 4-2 victory against South Korea on Sunday, equalised on the hour with what turned out to be the most important goal in their history.
Russia pushed forward in a desperate attempt to get the goal that would have taken them into the last 16 for the first time since the break-up of the old Soviet Union.
Their best chance fell to Aleksandr Kerzhakov, but his low attempt was saved by M'bolhi as Algeria held on for a historic result.
Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodzic said: "Algeria played a heroic match and our qualification is perfectly deserved.
"During the first half Russia used their experience, my players were a bit naive."
Russia coach Fabio Capello said: "Our goalkeeper was affected by a laser 10 seconds before the goal. He was blinded by a laser, there are photos, films of it. I'm not looking for excuses. I accept defeats."
Asked whether he would stay in charge of the Russian side, Capello replied: "If they still want me, yes."

Of the 62 centuries he has compiled so far in first-class and one-day cricket, it would probably mean most to the Warwickshire captain if just one of them had been in a Test at Edgbaston.
But, in 55 matches, he is still to make one in Twenty20 cricket too.
"To get a T20 ton is one of my ambitions, absolutely," said Bell, ahead of Friday's Birmingham Bears T20 Blast home game against Durham.
In eight attempts for England, prior to his retirement from all international limited-over cricket last summer, his best knock was an unbeaten 60 against New Zealand at Old Trafford in 2008.
But, of his six T20 half-centuries for the Bears, the most recent was on Friday in the home defeat by Worcestershire - and the two best have both been against Durham.
Warwickshire lost their most recent meeting with Durham - the north-east side's four-wicket win against the Bears at Edgbaston last week. But Bell enjoys T20 meetings with them.
In his only two T20 meetings with Durham, he made 85 in 47 balls in a Warwickshire home defeat at Edgbaston in 2010, bettering that with a match-winning 90 from 65 balls in last summer's Bears' win at Chester-le-Street.
It was an innings that stood for all of 27 days as the best by a Bears batsman until Brendon McCullum smashed 158 not out off 64 balls against Derbyshire at Edgbaston last July, the highest-ever domestic T20 score.
"I enjoyed that 90 up at the Riverside," said Bell. "It was nice to have the top T20 score for the Bears, at least for a little while before Brendon came in and showed why he is the world's best T20 player.
"That's still the only T20 hundred for us and it would be great for one of the homegrown guys, who have come through the system here at Edgbaston, to get a ton. I'm sure it's only a matter of time."
After being outshone by 92 from fellow opener Sam Hain in the Bears' opening six-wicket T20 Blast win over Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge, Bell hit an attractive 66 against Worcestershire at Edgbaston last Friday.
But, despite hitting five four and two sixes in his 57-ball knock, Bell's Bears were beaten in the final over by their local rivals.
And, with Chris Woakes back from England Test duty, they will now look to make amends against a Durham side who rallied from their opening night Tom Kohler-Cadmore-inspired battering at Worcester to beat T20 champions Lancashire a week later.
"Of course it was disappointing to lose," said 34-year-old Bell, who remains hopeful of a Test recall before the end of the summer.
"But one game doesn't change a lot. There were some good points and the experience the young guys picked up will be invaluable.
"Worcestershire are a good side. They bat very deep and are one of the strongest sides in the group. Fair play to them for the way we played against us but we will come back hard against Durham."
Music producer Raymond Stevenson, physically abused during his time at the Shirley Oaks home in the 70s, met a childhood friend last year who revealed he'd been raped at the institution. Within a few months, the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association (SOSA) was hundreds strong.
"At the very first meeting I can remember there was lots of hugging lots of crying - it was really we are together now, they can't harm us again," Stevenson recalls. "No lies can penetrate our lives because we feel we were going to reveal the truth."
The south London production office, from where Stevenson promoted music stars like Jessie J, now looks more like a police incident room. A map on the wall includes details of allegations from hundreds of former residents, suggesting physical, sexual and emotional abuse was routine at many of the houses on the 72-acre Shirley Oaks site.
"We have been in contact with over 300 people and the stories we are getting are just horrific," Stevenson says. "Every time we interview someone and hear about what happened to them, it brings tears to our eyes. Reliving some of the horrors they went through again hasn't been easy."
There have been two major police investigations into abuse at children's homes in South London and three people including a swimming instructor, William Hook, have been convicted of offences relating to Shirley Oaks.
Another operation is currently on-going, but SOSA have lost faith in the authorities who they claim have covered-up the true scale of abuse at Shirley Oaks. "We don't trust them and that's why we have decided to do this campaign ourselves," Stevenson explains.
The Shirley Oaks campaigners are part of a wider phenomenon - a "survivor" activism that is changing the balance of power in relation to child abuse. Where once victims were ignored or silenced, now they are coming together, often through social media, forming support groups and building a crescendo of noise that the authorities are forced to acknowledge.
A couple of weeks ago, dozens of former Shirley Oaks residents crowded into a Lambeth council meeting - the authority which ran the home until its closure in the mid-1980s. Councillor after councillor spoke of their shame at what had been allowed to happen to children in their care.
"I feel angry, genuinely appalled and truly sad to be the leader of a council, Lambeth Council, that in the past enabled such terrible acts of abuse, against some of our young people", council leader Lib Peck told the meeting as victims in the public gallery clapped.
Among them was the award-winning author Alex Wheatle who has written about the sexual abuse he suffered as a child at Shirley Oaks.
"We have not come here, to go to war with the council, we have come here to gain your support," Wheatle told the meeting.
Afterwards he reflected on how far the campaign had come. "It was so strengthening to see my brothers and sisters who I grew up with, one by one, presenting their case, presenting their stories," he said. "You know, I've got such a love for them right now I just want to hug everyone right now ... how brave are they?"
The Shirley Oaks association is doing more than compiling evidence. It is using music to press its case. A song entitled "Don't Touch It - It's Mine" includes personal testimony from victims.
"I was abused mentally, physically emotionally and violently," the track begins. "Of the original 16 of us, 12 have killed themselves," another haunting voice relates as a video shows child actors playing around what were the Shirley Oaks buildings.
"We not going to be told lies anymore," Stevenson explains. "We are not going to leave it in the hands of lawyers, politicians or council officials to tell us what happened to us. We want to discover it ourselves and we know music and dance and poetry are ways that can tell a greater story."
The Shirley Oaks Survivors Association is considering whether to give its dossier of evidence to the independent Goddard inquiry but they do believe, whatever happens, the tables have turned.
"There was a bond between us and that has come to haunt these people, those who done it," Raymond Stevenson says. "It is the unity of the Shirley Oaks 'massive' as we call ourselves, and the other children's homes coming together, that has built this power base and we are unstoppable."
Crazy, strange and unsteady are a few of the adjectives used as pundits try to work out what a Trump foreign policy might look like, though one Israeli newspaper seems reassured.
Several German commentators admit to being flummoxed by the speech. "It's not very easy to follow him," writes Der Spiegel's Washington correspondent, Veit Medick.
The candidate's comments can "hardly be called a coherent plan", he adds.
Die Welt's Clemens Wergin sees Mr Trump as a security risk, saying his speech confirmed many experts' view that "we are dealing with an unsteady character".
France's business daily Les Echos asks whether the speech is "a return to isolationism", reporting that Mr Trump wants to point the US in "a less interventionist direction".
The speech also makes the front page of the Spanish daily, El Pais.
Washington correspondent Marc Bassets says Mr Trump's foreign policy doctrine could be summed up as a mix of "isolationism, realpolitik and militarism".
Two heavyweight US papers are unimpressed with the speech, with The New York Times headlining its scathing editorial: "Donald Trump's Strange World View."
It argues that he "did not exhibit much grasp of the complexity of the world, understanding of the balance or exercise of power, or even a careful reading of history."
In the Washington Post, Dana Milbank writes about "Trump's crazy attempt not to sound crazy".
"Trump did not offer more detail on how he would 'bring peace to the world,' but he gave strongman promises that everything would be fine", he laments.
"Perhaps the most unnerving promise Trump made was his determination to be erratic", he continues.
"On this vow, Trump has already made good - and that's just the problem."
Nahum Barnea, writing in Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth, says Mr Trump "took his foreign policy inspiration from the Westerns" and calls it "cowboy diplomacy".
Boaz Bismuth has a different view in Yisrael Hayom, calling the speech "firm, focused".
"Trump wants a decent, strong, loyal America, but he is also not a sucker. And he sees in Israel the most loyal ally of the United States," he writes.

Would You Still Love Me If... tells the story of a lesbian couple with a baby on the way, one of whom is considering gender reassignment surgery.
Turner, famous for her roles in Peggy Sue Got Married and Prizzi's Honor, plays the mother to one of the women.
The Oscar-nominee previously starred as Charles Bing, Chandler's cross-dressing father, in the sitcom Friends.
Would You Still Love Me If... was written by John S Anastasi and co-stars Rebecca Brooksher and Sofia Jean. Grammy nominated singer Deborah Cox also appears in the role of a doctor.
Anastasi, a little-known playwright from Pennsylvania, said Turner put herself forward for the role after his casting director put out a call for actors.
The actress, also known as the voice of Jessica Rabbit, had once expressed interest in directing one of his plays and, although that did not pan out, she was keen to work on his latest project.
The writer told the New York Times that Would You Still Love Me If... was inspired by the film Blue Is The Warmest Colour, a coming-of-age romance starring Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos.
"I was moved by the relationship of these two women, and was pondering if there was anything that could change their love. For some reason, it crossed my mind - what if one of them decided they wanted to physically change? That was the germ of the idea."

But for Justine Greening, Theresa May's education secretary, the first question will be what to do with the bulging out-tray.
Her predecessor Nicky Morgan has already sent out a far-reaching and controversial White Paper for schools, but it's been left in suspended animation during the political upheavals.
Will it be ditched or brought back to life?
The proposals have already been something of a car crash.
After a rebellion by backbench MPs, the plan for all state schools in England to be forced to become academies had to be abandoned only weeks after it had been announced, in one of the biggest U-turns of David Cameron's government.
The flagship might have been sunk, but there were other measures for schools that Ms Greening will have to weigh up.
There was a controversial proposal to allow academy chains to operate without any elected parent governors, which ruffled the feathers of many people who had given up their time to help local schools.
Even if academy status is not compulsory, the proposals presumed a big expansion in academy chains - and there are questions, not least from Ofsted, about the need for more rapid intervention for academy chains that are underperforming.
Another thorny question, which for many years has been kicked into the long grass, has been around the introduction of a national funding formula.
This reallocation of how much money goes to each school has been promised for 2017 and is a response to many years of campaigning over uneven levels of per pupil funding.
But it has always been extremely politically sensitive - with the expectation that there will be losers as well as winners - and the prospect of individual schools facing big funding cuts is going to be difficult to set against promises to protect school spending.
It also touches upon a bigger budgetary question - whether the incoming government will still be bound by David Cameron's promise to protect the education budget.
Also in this political limbo are plans for a major overhaul of teacher training and the abolition of the current "qualified teacher status".
Changes to teacher training mean treading across the thin ice of a shortage of teachers - a problem that head teachers have been noisily warning about as one of their biggest headaches.
There are other reasons head teachers and teachers' unions could be knocking on the door.
There have been angry complaints and calls for resignations over changes to the Sats tests, which this year saw almost half the 11-year-olds in England failing to reach the expected level.
The changes to GCSEs and A-levels - including switching to grades nine to one rather than A* to U - are likely to have their own share of teething difficulties, not least explaining the change to parents and employers.
The next education secretary will be in place when the next results of international Pisa tests are published.
These rankings are revealed by the OECD every three years - and if England has nudged upwards, the incumbent can take the praise.
If it's another mediocre performance, they will have to say that it's still too early to judge the impact of changes.
But the most pressing problems are likely to be more practical than political.
The population surge continues, and that means an ever tighter squeeze on school places. Figures published by the Department for Education on Thursday showed that 570,000 extra secondary school places need to be created by 2025.
Whoever is education secretary, they will have to work hard to deliver the most basic requirement of guaranteeing a school place for every child.
It will mean a relentless demand for more classrooms, schools, teachers and head teachers - all of which will mean spending more money just to stand still.
Pressure on school budgets is already an issue worrying schools, and that is only likely to grow.
It might also be worthwhile checking the education credentials of the new boss.
Theresa May must have attended more types of school than most ministers. She went to a state primary, an independent school and then a grammar that became a comprehensive.
She served as a councillor in the trenches of local government and was education chair for the London Borough of Merton.
While others entered politics after writing pamphlets for think tanks, she must have had a lot more practical experience of writing letters to parents about school places.
Under William Hague's leadership she was shadow education secretary.
Her plans included "free schools" directly funded but independent from local authority supervision, which could set their own admissions rules and rates of pay for their staff.
The role of local education authorities would have been pared back and new grammar schools opened.
There was a promise from her party leader that teachers would be freed from being tied in knots by "a string of Whitehall diktats, meaningless targets and paperwork".
It might all sound rather familiar.
The Kishorn yard in Wester Ross was one of the largest dry docks in Europe, employing about 3,000 people.
Welsh marine engineering company Harris Pye is to test the gates on the dry dock to see if they are still working.
The investment was made by Kishorn Port Ltd with the backing of Highlands and Islands Enterprise.
Kishorn Port Ltd is a joint venture between Ferguson Transport (Spean Bridge) Ltd and Leiths (Scotland) Ltd.
It is hoped the yard can become a base for decommissioning north sea oil rigs.
Oil and Gas UK has suggested that £17.6bn could be spent on decommissioning on the UK Continental Shelf over the next 10 years.
Some of this work could require deepwater yards.
SNP MP Ian Blackford said the investment aimed to show that Kishorn could be an important player in the offshore market.
He said it was important to make sure Scotland made the right investment to ensure it had yards which were ready to take on decommissioning work.
"It's a pretty unique facility that we've got there in terms of the size of the dock and of course with the high water mark," he said.
"So it's about saying to the outside world that Kishorn is fit for purpose."
More than 3,000 people lost their homes in last week's mudslide in Sierra Leone, which killed at least 499 people, with more than 600 still missing.
"It is difficult to know the precise number of victims," says volunteer body collector Fessellie Marah, "because so many bodies were broken apart. We are still finding body parts in the rubble".
The side of Sugar Loaf mountain collapsed onto a community called Regent at around 05:45 on Monday morning. It sent a torrent of water, mud and rocks hurtling down the valley, also crushing houses in two other areas: Kamayama and Kaningo.
Journalist Olivia Acland has spoken to some of the survivors.
At the bottom of the hill in Regent, a half-broken house hangs over the churned-up earth.
Alfred Johnny, the caretaker, moves aimlessly around the rubble smoking cigarettes and taking phone calls. He lost three friends, all of whom were trapped inside the house when the hillside collapsed.
"I am living in the little house at the back," he says, pointing to a small bungalow which is damaged, but still standing.
"The big house belongs to my brother. He lives in Australia. It was my job to look after the place. Two workers and an engineer were staying there, fixing the drive that leads to the house.
"I was standing on the veranda when the mudslide happened. I heard a cracking noise. It was so loud, it sounded like dynamite. Then rocks started coming down. One landed close to me and I fell down. My body was shaking uncontrollably.
"I tried to run and open the front door of the house and get the others out but more rocks kept coming. It was impossible to move anywhere.
"I froze and watched as the whole hill came down. Heavy stones were slapping the sides of the houses and they were falling. Everywhere people were screaming. I watched until every last house had collapsed," Mr Johnny says.
He goes to show me the place where he had stood watching when his radio, one of the few items he was able to salvage from his flooded house, starts playing a song. "Oh God help Salone [Sierra Leone], oh father help Salone, save this land we love," it sings.
Mr Johnny has managed to clean mud and water out of one room in his house and is still staying there. His mattress was ruined so he has flattened cardboard boxes onto his bed. His muddy possessions are piled up in the other room, where there is still a thick layer of slippery mud covering the floor.
A little way up the hill a middle-aged man and woman are sitting on a pile of gravel. They are both silent, looking away into the distance.
The woman, Yatta Kamara, says: "I lost 14 members of my family. I had left the house that evening to go and collect rice from my aunt's place because we didn't have anything to eat and I needed to feed the children.
"When I arrived at my aunt's house, the rain was heavy so she told to stay the night and return in the morning.
"The next morning at 06:30 I was washing, preparing to go home. A neighbour came running to me saying: 'The mountain has collapsed, your house and your family have been buried'.
"I ran home as fast as I could and saw big crowds of people and the whole area turned to mud. As soon as I saw the damage I knew that my family was gone," Ms Kamara says.
She asks me to wait a minute and runs off to get photos of those she has lost, including her four children and baby grandson.
"That's my youngest daughter, Jeneba," she says pointing at a six-year-old girl striking a pose while cradling her grandson.
Ms Kamara is now staying with her brother Mohammed, who lives in the east of Freetown. She has returned to Regent to receive emergency food supplies from Street Child, a non-governmental organisation.
She looks bleakly into the distance and says for the second time: "I lost everything."
In Kaningo community, down by the river, Abdul Mansaray is trying to clean the mud out of his house.
Along with his brother and two friends, he is shovelling mud into a pile and carrying it outside on a flattened canvas bag. There is a brown watermark just below the roof of his bungalow, showing how high the water came up. He is standing in a front room where there is a large hole in the ceiling.
He says: That's the hole we used to escape. There was water in my room when I woke up so I went to wake my wife, children and brother.
"We tried to leave the house through the main door. By that time the water was getting higher, almost reaching my knee. We couldn't open the front door because there was water on both sides.
"We went to the back door and couldn't open it either. I looked around and saw a stick - the one we use for pounding spices.
"I broke the ceiling with that stick and with the help of my brother, pulled myself up onto the roof. Up on the roof I could see people's properties floating past.
"There was a ladder floating, so I got down and reached it. I passed it through the hole in the roof so my wife, children, and brother could climb out.
"We stayed on my neighbour's balcony watching the water get higher and higher. Thank God we all survived, though I lost my money and every possession".
Mr Mansaray is one of thousands to lose his life's savings along with his house.
As his neighbour, Said, says: "Very few Sierra Leoneans have bank accounts, usually just office workers. Everyone else keeps their money at home."
His wife and one of his sons have returned to their village in the north, but Mr Mansaray and his brother are staying with a neighbour who lives higher up the hill in the same community.
"We are trying to clean out the house so my family can return," Mr Mansaray says.
I ask him about the risks of staying there, and the possibility of another mudslide or flood. He replies: "Where else can I go?"
Mbalu Bangura lives in the same community. She is 15 years old and is worried she will not be able to go to school again.
"How will my parents manage to pay my fees?" she says. "We lost everything in that house; my books, my uniform, and all my family's money."
She is limping badly and has a thin bandage tied above her ankle. She says that a glass bottle shattered on her leg as she was running to safety.
"We were escaping out of a smashed window because the doors of the house wouldn't open," she says.
"I have four small siblings and I passed them each through the window to my parents. The water was rushing fast and it was almost up to my chest.
"We climbed through the water carrying the small children. Everyone survived. A bottle hit my leg as I was getting onto the bank and some glass got stuck under the skin. An emergency volunteer took me to hospital," Ms Bangura says.
Kadiatu Bendu lives in Kamayama Pentagon, a settlement roughly two miles downstream from the mudslide site. She is waiting for supplies at another emergency response centre based out of a school.
She is now staying nearby with a male cousin, who has a small house with three rooms. He has taken in eight others as well as Kadiatu and her daughter, meaning that 17 people are occupying his small house.
"It's not easy at all - we are so many in that place," Mrs Bendu says.
Though she was able to save Edna, the four-month-old baby she cradles in her arms, she lost her husband and 16-year-old daughter.
"My husband woke me up as the water was filling the house. The roof was already broken from the heavy downpour. He helped me to climb out through the roof with Edna strapped to my back, and went back to wake up our other daughter.
"He was trying to help her climb up when a huge rock came through the side of the house and crushed them both. I saw it happen. The roof stayed on because our house is made from tin with a wooden frame," Mrs Bendu says.
The "invention", officially recognised in January, is described by the digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) as "stupid patent of the month".
The patent was filed in 2010 at a time when many tech firms made grabs for all kinds of technological innovations.
IBM said that it would "dedicate the patent to the public".
It has led to accusations that the US Patent Office (USPTO) is out of touch.
In a statement, the IBM said that it had notified "the USPTO that it foregoes its rights to the patent. As a result, the patent is released into the public domain".
The described patent included details such as how a user needed to input "availability such as a start date, an end date and at least one availability indicator message".
The only feature of the system that differs from existing out-of-office systems is one that automatically notifies people a few days before the person goes on holiday so that they can prepare for a colleague's absence, according to EFF.
It likened this change to "asking for a patent on the idea of sending a postcard, not from a vacation, but to let someone know you will go on a vacation".
It also criticised the US Patent Office for granting such a patent.
"It never considered any of the many, many existing real-world systems that pre-dated IBM's application," it writes.
There has been widespread criticism of patents being granted for abstract ideas rather than for brand new technical advances.
Chris Price, a UK and European patent lawyer at law firm EIP, said of the time taken to grant the patent: "Seven years does seem a little bit on the long side but it is by no means unusual for it to take that long to grant patents."
He added: "In Europe, patents are granted for inventions that solve technical problems and if they are seen to address something that is business-related or an administrative process they are not given. In the US the situation is historically more permissive."
Earlier this year IBM announced that it had broken the US patent record with more than 8,000 patents granted to its inventors in 2016. This marks the 24th consecutive year that it has won the title.
Its patent output covers a diverse range of inventions, including breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, cognitive computers and cybersecurity.
The world's number one batter helped her side to an eight-wicket victory over India in the group stages before being sidelined with a shoulder injury.
The winners of Thursday's match will face England in the final at Lord's on Sunday after the tournament hosts beat South Africa in Bristol.
Reigning champions Australia are aiming for a seventh World Cup title.
Lanning, 25, did not feature in her side's victory over Pakistan.
She returned against India to score an unbeaten 88 but was then ruled out of their final pool match against South Africa.
The skipper has scored 328 runs in five innings, including an unbeaten 152 against Sri Lanka.
Lanning trained away from the rest of her team on Wednesday, taking part in a light session with head coach Matthew Mott.
Australia have won six of their seven matches in this year's tournament, with their only defeat coming against England in the group stage as they finished behind the hosts on net run rate.
The three-run defeat was their first loss to England at a World Cup in 24 years.
India are the only side to have beaten England in this year's competition, winning by 35 runs on the opening day of the tournament.
And the County Ground has been a good venue for Mithali Raj's side - her team have won all four of their games in Derby.
India's record against Australia does not make for easy reading - they have won just eight of the 42 encounters between the two sides.
They lost to Australia in the 2005 final in South Africa, and were also beaten by eight wickets in the group stages of this year's tournament.
Australia came out on top when the two sides met at Bristol as Lanning and Ellyse Perry both made unbeaten half-centuries.
Perry recorded her fifth half-century of the tournament and is the second-top run scorer, behind England's Tammy Beaumont, with 366 runs at an average of 91.50.
The blue-green algae produce toxins which can cause skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, stomach pains, fever and headache if swallowed.
Pembrokeshire council said it can also potentially kill animals.
People are advised not to swim in or near the stream at Freshwater East, swallow any water from it, eat fish caught in it or touch the algae.
Npower also said it had lost customers and had had to offer more favourable terms in an attempt to retain those whose contracts had expired.
Its parent company, Germany's RWE, said Npower's half-year profits were down 60% to €53m (£38m).
A switch in its billing system led to a surge in errors in recent years.
Problems included some customers receiving multiple bills and others receiving none.
Last year, Npower said that it was getting on top of these problems, which helped to dent last year's profits by 38%.
But last month, the Energy Ombudsman ordered Npower to give free energy to those customers who had waited too long for the company to deal with their complaints.
Among the major energy firms, Npower received the most complaints in 2014, Ofgem figures showed.
It said it had been struggling to retain customers: "We were often only able to retain residential customers with expired contracts by offering them new contracts with more favourable conditions."
The UK supply unit accounts for 6% of RWE's business.
RWE reported first half operating profits down 11% to €2.03bn, and it warned full-year UK operating profits would be below last year's €227m.
The Women and Equalities Committee is calling for a German-style system, where it is harder to make women redundant during and after pregnancy.
The number of expectant and new mothers forced to leave their jobs has almost doubled to 54,000 since 2005, it said.
The government said it would consider the recommendations carefully.
In Germany, from the beginning of pregnancy until four months following childbirth, employers can only dismiss an employee in very rare cases - such as the company going bust - and it needs government approval to do so.
In the UK, although it is illegal to dismiss a woman for reasons relating to having a child, a company can find other reasons for making her redundant.
Other recommendations from the report include more protection for casual, agency and zero-hours workers - such as making it easier for women to attend antenatal appointments.
It also suggested a "substantial reduction" in the £1,200 fee for women taking a pregnancy-related discrimination case to an employment tribunal - and recommended the three-month limit on taking cases to a tribunal should be doubled to six months.
Sarah, an expectant mum who works for the NHS, said:
"I have been treated so poorly I've had to consider leaving. I've had various issues with obtaining equipment my employers have identified I need resulting in me sitting on a broken chair for two months of my pregnancy.
"I've been to occupational health and my managers, and was advised to "go off sick" until my maternity leave starts even though my baby is not due for another three months."
Another mum, who is seven months pregnant and was facing the threat of redundancy said:
"I have spent around two months of my pregnancy fighting my employer. I have been successful, but have very little confidence that when I return to work they will offer me my current job, never mind any flexibility - and I work in a female-dominated industry.
"Having gone through what I have just done, I don't think law changes will help at all. There was almost no support I could get that would actually help me keep my job.
"I had to have time off work and was crying every day. I love my job, but now I don't want to work for the managers who did this to me.
"But I do want other women to know that you can win on your own. It's hard work and emotionally draining, but it can be done."
The report cited research from the former Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which found that 11% of women reported being either dismissed, made redundant when others in their workplace were not, or treated so poorly they felt they had to leave their job.
"There are now record numbers of women in work in the UK," said the committee's chairwoman, Maria Miller.
"The economy will suffer unless employers modernise their workplace practices to ensure effective support and protection for expectant and new mums."
She added that the government's approach had lacked "urgency and bite" and that the work to combat this "unacceptable discrimination" needed to be underpinned by concrete targets and changes to laws.
The report also called for government assurances that rights and protections would not be eroded, given the uncertainty following the vote to leave the European Union.
Business Minister Margot James said: "It is completely unacceptable that pregnant women and new mothers are apparently being forced to quit their jobs because of outdated attitudes.
"Tackling this issue is a key priority of mine and this government and I would like to thank the committee for its important work. We will consider its recommendations carefully and respond in due course."
The law says it is discrimination to treat a woman unfavourably - for example, not giving her a promotion or reducing pay - because she's pregnant or has recently given birth. This protection lasts from when you become pregnant to the end of your maternity leave.
If you think you have a case:
Claire Dawson, head of employment at law firm Slater and Gordon, said the company regularly acts for clients who have been made redundant while on or shortly after returning from maternity leave.
"The last thing they want to do at this time in their lives is engage in a legal battle and in many cases, they simply can't afford to," she added.
Angela Rayner, shadow minister for women and equalities, said the report shows thousands of pregnant women are being "priced out of justice" because of tribunal fees introduced by the government.
Former Liberal Democrat equalities minister Jo Swinson, now chairwoman of the charity Maternity Action, said too often companies were using pregnancy as an "excuse to get rid of someone".
Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said it was a "confusing landscape" that meant "some bad bosses" were "getting away with treating their employees unfairly".
Last week, a study for the Institute for Fiscal Studies showed that the earning power between men and those women returning to work after having a child becomes steadily wider. Over the subsequent 12 years, women's hourly pay rate falls 33% behind men's.
Supporters of the project insist the bridge would ease traffic congestion.
However, Labour has long been opposed to the route currently planned at Tillydrone.
There was a lengthy debate on Wednesday, and councillors voted to reaffirm their commitment to the so-called third Don crossing.
Researchers found that the fang blenny, a reef-dwelling fish, administers a bite that is laced with opioids.
These morphine-like compounds cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, apparently disorientating a predator and letting the blenny escape.
The findings, published in Current Biology, are an example of medical secrets still hidden in our oceans.
Scientists from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the University of Queensland in Australia became interested in these small, brightly coloured fish because their pain-free bite was so unusual in the marine world.
Bryan Fry, from the University of Queensland, explained that fish with venomous spines on their bodies "produce immediate and blinding pain".
"The most pain I've ever been in other than the time I broke my back was from a stingray envenomation," he said, describing the experience as "pure hell".
This made the fang blenny a curiosity; the scientists knew it to be venomous, but set out to understand how and why its bite was painless.
As Dr Nicholas Casewell, from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, pointed out, a painful sting or bite is a useful defence mechanism - "predators learn to avoid it".
In his initial research, Dr Casewell read fang blenny studies carried out in the 1970s, where larger, predatory fish were "introduced" to the fang blennies.
"They took the fang blennies into their mouths, then quickly started quivering and opened their mouths again," Dr Casewell described. "The fang blenny would simply swim out of the mouth and escape."
Examining the make-up of the venom revealed the diminutive fish's super-power - opioids.
This group of chemicals, which includes morphine and codeine, have well-known pain-subduing effects, but they also cause a drop in blood pressure.
That would cause us to feel faint and dizzy, explained Dr Casewell.
"And the drop seems to cause a loss of co-ordination in the predator that allows the blenny to get away."
In the biodiverse realm of coral reefs, other species also "mimic" the fang blenny - developing similar striped patterns and bright colours that may fool predators into thinking that they too are opioid-laced.
And while the team does not expect to develop new pain medications based on this discovery, Dr Casewell said it revealed just how much is still hidden in coral reefs, which are under threat around the world as sea temperatures rise.
"We risk decimating species that could have something in them that could be harnessed for human benefit," Dr Casewell told BBC News.
"We could be destroying that resource before we even have the chance to find it."
John Bythell, professor of coral reef biology at Newcastle University, agreed that there were "absolutely vast undiscovered natural products in coral reefs that will prove to be beneficial to humans... we have barely begun to scratch the surface".
"Think about how much is still to be learnt about the human genome (given all the resources we have thrown at it), since it was sequenced in 2003, then multiply that up by several million species in the reef environment, it gives some idea," Prof Bythell told BBC News.
"I think the intrinsic value of biodiversity is that we cannot understand how it may be used or what it will mean for future generations, but once it is gone it is gone."
Senegal were eliminated on penalties by Cameroon on Saturday as they contested their first quarter-final in 11 years.
"It is very difficult to understand why Senegalese football cannot win when you see the generation we had in the past and now," Augustin Senghor told BBC Sport.
"It is a very great equation for us."
Senegal, the highest-rated side in Africa by world governing body Fifa, had been tipped by many to win this year's competition in Gabon.
The Teranga Lions' sole appearance in a Nations Cup final came in 2002 when they were beaten on penalties by Cameroon after the game had ended goalless.
Players such as two-time African Footballer of the Year El Hadji Diouf, playmaker Khalilou Fadiga and the country's record scorer Henri Camara were all part of the side, which would reach the World Cup quarter-finals later that year.
Saturday night's match in the eastern city of Franceville was similar to the 2002 final, after also ending goalless, but this time it fell to Africa's most expensive player - Sadio Mane of Liverpool - to miss the vital spot-kick.
The 24-year-old was inconsolable after Vincent Aboubakar sent four-time champions Cameroon through shortly after.
"Some of the players were crying in the dressing room and we understand that," Senghor said.
"They were very deeply affected and are suffering very greatly. It was very difficult to find the right words to say to them.
"Mane was one of the players crying and you can understand. It is a kind of curse on the great players that they miss penalties in shoot-outs - and Sadio is the same.
"He is very, very upset."
Mane's effort was blocked by Cameroon's star player, goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa, sparking huge celebrations as the Indomitable Lions reached the last four for the first time since 2008 (when they lost the final to Egypt).
"He is sad but it is only natural," striker Moussa Sow told BBC Sport.
"He wanted to do something good and give pleasure to his nation. Sadio is a great player."
Senegal were looking to reach the semi-finals for the fourth time, having last managed to do so in 2006.
"We were supposed to go further in this competition because the team played very well in the group phase," said Senghor of the first team to qualify for the knock-out stage.
"When I look at the teams in the competition, I think we had the potential to go to the final. But we need to understand that our project is not just for this Nations Cup but for the future.
"This generation is very young and we need to organise ourselves and come back to try to the win the next Nations Cup (in 2019)."
Senghor also pointed to qualification for next year's World Cup as a major target, with Senegal currently second in Group D behind Nations Cup semi-finalists Burkina Faso, South Africa while Cape Verde prop up the table.
Senegal coach Aliou Cisse suffered a second penalty shoot-out defeat to Cameroon having captained his nation in the 2002 final.
"I feel sorry for the players, who wanted to write their own piece of history," he told the Confederation of African Football website.
"It is a big disappointment for me and the entire team. I'm the first person to feel their pain. It is very hard for us in the dressing room, but we can raise our heads high."
The fighter was sentenced last December after pleading guilty to attacking his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris.
The judge delayed his jail time to allow him to fight Miguel Cotto on 5 May. He won the fight, for which he reportedly received $32m.
Rapper 50 Cent was at the Las Vegas courtroom with Mayweather, and said the boxer would be "all right".
At the time of sentencing, the judge had told the court she was particularly concerned that Mayweather had attacked and threatened Ms Harris while two of their children were present.
The assault took place in 2010.
Mayweather has been involved in a string of criminal cases for violence since 2002.
He is widely regarded as one of the world's best boxers, and has won all 43 of his professional fights.
Terry Lawton called some Middlesbrough Council members corrupt while Jon Rathmell called an officer a "purse-carrying cretin".
Mr Lawton said it was "political banter" and was accused of "bullying people because I'm challenging them".
Both men have been ordered to apologise by the council's standards committee but maintain they did nothing wrong.
Middlesbrough mayor David Budd said the pair's "destructive campaign of vilification damaged the reputation of their town".
An independent investigation found the two Independent councillors breached conduct rules.
Mr Lawton made several posts on Facebook about colleagues whereby he accused some of corruption through the sale of town assets to family and friends. He also named people he claimed had "dirty secrets" and did "dirty deeds".
Another post claimed a councillor was well known for offering female employees promotion in exchange for sexual favours.
Mr Lawton was told if he did not apologise his council email account would be suspended.
He added: "If I do say (sorry) I won't really mean it".
Mr Rathmell called a council officer a "bag-lady" and "purse-carrying cretin" in a post on Facebook.
After the hearing, he said he listened to the finding against him but did not "accept it".
Ed Miliband has accused the PM of "cowering" from the public after he rejected proposals for a head-to-head debate with the Labour leader.
But the prime minister claimed the broadcasters were to blame.
Meanwhile, the BBC Trust has rejected the Democratic Unionist Party's appeal against its exclusion from the debates.
The decision is likely to trigger a judicial review by the DUP.
Explaining his decision to reject the broadcasters' debates proposals, Mr Cameron said that rather than ducking scrutiny, he wanted to "unblock the logjam" the "broadcasters helped to create".
"Let's get on, let's have the debate that matters the most," added Mr Cameron. By putting forward a proposal for a debate with seven leaders, "we'll actually see one take place", he said.
Mr Miliband said he did not accept the prime minister's excuse and accused him of "running scared" from TV debates.
"I'll debate him, any time, any place, anywhere. He should stop ducking and weaving and he should name the date," said the Labour leader.
"I think what the public will not tolerate is a prime minister who is running away from them (the debates), running away from his record and running away from a face-to-face debate with me that he said he wanted and the public deserve."
Lib Dem election campaign chief Lord Ashdown said Mr Cameron was "running scared" and was "frightened of defending his own position".
"What he is proposing is not just a ludicrous, seven-sided, bite-sized squabble fest but actually he is proposing it takes place before the Conservative manifesto is published," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Mr Clegg said: "If David Cameron is too busy or too important to defend the record of this government with Ed Miliband then I offer myself. How about that? I'll do it instead."
He told LBC radio the Conservative leadership was behaving like "they're ordering a drink in the drawing room of Downton Abbey and, sort of, telling everybody else what they should do". He said: "I mean it's not for one party to, you know, grandly tell everybody else what's going to happen."
Under Mr Cameron's "final offer", one 90-minute contest would take place before 30 March, when the official general election campaign starts.
Downing Street said the Democratic Unionist Party should also be considered for inclusion.
The broadcasters, who have proposed a total of three debates, said they would respond to the Conservatives' proposal in due course.
The BBC and ITV are scheduled to hold two, both involving the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, UKIP, Plaid Cymru, the SNP and the Greens.
A third debate - hosted by Sky and Channel 4 - the week before the 7 May election would feature a head-to-head between Mr Cameron and Mr Miliband.
After Mr Cameron questioned the timing of it at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, Sky and Channel 4 offered to move the event to a different date if the leaders could agree.
So are the debates dead?
Well, maybe not. But only if the broadcasters hold their nerve.
In other words, if they decide to press ahead with the three debates and empty chair the prime minister.
It would be a huge decision - and many at Westminster remain sceptical that the BBC would be willing to do this.
However, privately, the broadcasters insist they will not buckle and will not allow one party to "dictate" the conditions.
They insist the single, 90-minute, seven, or even eight party, debate proposed by the prime minister will "not cover the ground".
And crucially, both Labour and the Liberal Democrats say they will still turn up for whatever debates the broadcasters decide to hold.
Ed Miliband will even take part in the head-to-head without David Cameron - and subject himself to a grilling from Jeremy Paxman.
Senior Lib Dems say Nick Clegg would be ready to stand in for the prime minister in the final head-to-head, making it a Miliband v Clegg clash.
The danger for the prime minister is that even if the debates lose their impact without him - he risks a backlash from voters for failing to take part.
Downing Street's hope is that the broadcasters will buckle and either agree to his proposal or just scrap the whole idea of TV debates for this election.
A UKIP spokesman said: "After praising what a good thing debates were for democracy as recently as 2014, why is David Cameron now acting chicken and running as far away from them as possible?"
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said Mr Cameron had "sabotaged the whole thing" with his proposal, which would not be a "proper debate".
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon accused Mr Cameron of "arrogance," adding: "I will debate him anytime, anywhere, on any number of occasions.
"However we have accepted the broadcasters' proposals, and believe we should stick with that, rather than allow a Tory prime minister to dictate the terms of debate."
The Green Party has accused Mr Cameron of "further damaging trust" in British politics.
"Not only is Cameron's announcement cowardly but it also shows his contempt for the electorate. People want to see a set of debates between all major party leaders, yet the prime minister is clearly scared of scrutiny," said a spokesman.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said Mr Cameron's "efforts to manipulate the broadcasters are unacceptable and arrogant".
Speaking after his party's appeal to be included was rejected, Nigel Dodds, the DUP's Westminster leader, said: "I think that the decision of the BBC Trust defies belief, quite frankly, because it's wrong, irrational, and unjust to exclude Northern Ireland from the national debates if you are going to include the Scottish National Party from Scotland and Plaid Cymru from Wales."
As leader of the opposition, Mr Cameron led calls for televised debates at the 2010 general election - the first time they have been held in the UK.
But he has since criticised the idea of holding debates in the run up to polling day, saying they had "sucked the life out of the campaign".
After months of wrangling over the format for debates at the 2015 election, Downing Street issued a statement on Wednesday night, confirming that Mr Cameron did not want to go head-to-head with Labour leader Ed Miliband under any circumstances.
In a letter to the broadcasters, the prime minister's communications chief Craig Oliver said: "In order to cut through this chaotic situation I am willing to make the following proposal: There should be one 90-minute debate between seven party leaders before the short campaign."
He added: "In order for it to be organised in time, the debate should take place during the week beginning March 23. I will make myself available to negotiate the details. Having been the editor of numerous broadcast news and current affairs programmes, I know this is ample time to organise a programme.
"This is our final offer, and to be clear, given the fact this has been a deeply unsatisfactory process and we are within a month of the short campaign, the prime minister will not be participating in more than one debate."
In a joint statement, broadcasters said: "The BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky have received an email from the prime minister's office with a proposal.
"The broadcasters are committed to providing our audiences with election debates.
"Twenty two million people watched the debates in 2010 and we believe the debates helped people to engage with the election.
"The broadcasters have set out their proposals and continue to talk to all the relevant parties on an equitable basis.
"We will respond to the Conservatives' proposal in due course."
Stefan Jacoby, 54, is handing the reins over to Jan Gurander, the chief financial officer, who will serve as the acting chief executive.
The Zhejiang Geely owned Volvo has admitted that it is struggling to build up its retail operation in China.
Volvo cars are currently imported to China from factories overseas.
Volvo has high hopes that China will account for about a quarter of its global sales by 2020.
Last year the automotive manufacturer sold almost 450,000 cars across the world, but wants that to increase to 800,000 by 2020.
Stefan Jacoby has been the chief executive at Volvo since August 2010, joining the company after being the president and chief executive of Volkswagen's American arm.
"I was lucky that it was a mild stroke," Jacoby said, "I am currently experiencing limited movement abilities in my right arm and, to some extent, also in my right leg."
He is determined to return to work soon. "Now I will focus on resting and exercising, in order to get back to work as soon as possible," he said.
The iconic Swedish car brand was bought in 2010 by the Chinese carmaker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group for $1.8bn, from Ford Motor Company.
The economy expanded by 0.5% in the July-to-September period, according to the Office for National Statistics.
That was slower than the 0.7% rate in the previous quarter, but stronger than analysts' estimates of about 0.3%.
"There is little evidence of a pronounced effect in the immediate aftermath of the vote," the ONS said.
The stronger than expected growth will further dampen expectations that the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee will cut interest rates next week.
The economy has slowed slightly but by nothing like as much as feared and the Office for National Statistics says that "the pattern of growth continues to be broadly unaffected following the EU referendum".
That pattern is however a rather unbalanced one, the only sector of the economy that continued to grow was services up by 0.8%; agriculture, manufacturing production and construction all shrank.
Brexit supporters will take these figures as a sign that warnings about the economic costs of voting to leave the EU were nothing more than scaremongering. Remain supporters will argue that they were warning about potential damage over a period of several years. They say that only prompt action by the Bank of England saved deeper damage to the economy and that worse is to come.
Welcoming the figures, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Phillip Hammond said: "The fundamentals of the UK economy are strong and today's data show that the economy is resilient."
However, Labour's Shadow Treasury Minister, Jonathan Reynolds said: "Continued disappointing, sluggish growth shows the failures of the Tories' economic approach after six years in power, especially for the manufacturing sector which shows little sign of benefiting from lower sterling.
The economy was boosted by a particularly strong performance from the services sector, which grew by 0.8% in the quarter.
Transport, storage and communication was the strongest part of the service sector, growing by 2.2%. That was the fastest pace since 2009 and was helped by a healthy quarter for the UK's film industry. The latest films in the Jason Bourne and Star Trek franchises were released in July along with other popular productions, lifting takings at box offices.
ONS chief economist Jo Grice said "A strong performance in the dominant services industries continued to offset further falls in construction, while manufacturing continued to be broadly flat."
This is the first estimate of economic growth for the period, using less than half the data that will be used for the final estimate.
While growth in the services sector was robust, the construction sector contracted by 1.4% and industrial production fell 0.4%, with manufacturing output down 1%.
"In manufacturing, the contraction in output should be attributed to some unwinding of the massive growth spike seen in the second quarter, rather than industry scaling back production for any referendum related reasons," said Lee Hopley, chief economist at the EEF, the manufacturers' organisation.
"In line with the raft of survey data the GDP estimates confirm that it has been more or less business as usual but it doesn't tell us, however, if this will continue for the foreseeable future."
No in-depth breakdown of consumer spending was released in this set of figures, but Howard Archer, UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said: "It looks certain that third-quarter growth was also heavily dependent on consumers' willingness to keep spending, supported by still decent purchasing power and high employment.
"Consumer spending also clearly benefited from the weakened pound encouraging spending by overseas visitors to the UK. The weakened pound also supported foreign orders for UK goods and services."
However, the "resilient" post-referendum performance does not say anything about the UK's ability to perform outside of the EU, said Berenberg's senior UK economist, Kallum Pickering.
"Today's data does not alter our long-term view that Brexit will lower UK trend growth, to around 1.8% from 2.2% per year, via less trade, migration and investment with its major market, the EU," he added.
IQE will develop new technology for smart phones, tablets, healthcare and biotechnology.
The partnership has the potential to create thousands of jobs in Wales, the company said.
Vice-chancellor Prof Colin Riordan said the centre would put the university "ahead of our competitors".
The UK government announced in March it was backing a new semiconductor research foundation at the university with a £17m investment, on top of £12m from the Welsh government.
Last autumn, the university also announced it was ploughing £300m into new research and innovation facilities in the city.
The RNLI lifeboat charity said more than two-thirds of those had not set out to enter the water. Across the UK, 163 people died.
It was also revealed crews and lifeguards saved 84 lives last year.
The charity is launching its national drowning prevention campaign, Respect the Water, warning people that water can be "dangerously unpredictable".
Figures also showed men accounted for nearly three-quarters of the water-related deaths.
The campaign to raise awareness in Wales is being launched by Jerome Kirby, from Cardiff, who got into trouble in the water while body boarding at Rest Bay in Porthcawl, Bridgend county.
The 27-year-old drifted out of his depth and was struggling to swim against the current for about 20 minutes when RNLI volunteer Chris Page spotted him and swam out to keep him afloat until he could be rescued.
Mr Kirby said: "It just happened so easily in what seemed to be a safe place.
"I can't stress how easy it is to get into trouble. One minute I was absolutely fine and could see people around me, the next I was out of my depth, drifting into danger and not able to get back."
Mr Page said Mr Kirby appeared to be in "a lot of difficulty".
"Always go into the sea with someone or ensure someone can see you at all times," he said.
"What happened to Jerome shows the unpredictable nature of the water. Thankfully, my story had a happy ending."
One person was killed by the fire on Saturday evening as it engulfed several buildings in Leeuwarden, about 140km (87 miles) north of Amsterdam.
Local media said the victim was thought to be a 24-year-old man who had lived in a flat in the buildings.
Mata Hari was born Margaretha Geertruida Zelle in August 1876, to a shopkeeper and a Javanese mother.
In the early 1900s she left her husband and travelled to Paris where she found fame as an exotic dancer. Her work brought her into contact with many high society society figures.
But she was arrested by France during WWI, accused of being a spy for Germany.
She was executed by firing squad in 1917 after a short trial, though her guilt has long been disputed.
Several films have been made about Mata Hari's life, most famously in 1931 where she was played by Greta Garbo.
NOS TV said dozens of people had had to abandon their homes in the town centre building because of the fire, which started in one of the shops.
Fifteen homes and businesses were affected, said the channel, five of which were totally destroyed.
The West Brom winger is set to win his 50th cap in the game in New Jersey.
O'Neill has left several senior players at home to rest ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Austria on 11 June, but McClean asked to be involved.
"I think it would be worthwhile doing that. If he starts the game I'm sure he will be captain," O'Neill said.
With no specialist left back in the travelling party, McClean could be handed a different role.
"We could possibly play three centre-halves and two wing-backs, James has done that before," O'Neill said.
"It gives us the chance for a bit of experimentation.
"Most of the boys who are playing in the Premier League will join up with us after the game in the US, but James wanted to come out. He has got a great attitude."
Shane Duffy could get the chance to blow away his end-of-season frustration in the United States after escaping injury in a road accident.
The 25-year-old Brighton defender missed the final 11 games of his club's promotion-winning campaign after fracturing a metatarsal in March, but was involved in the Republic's training camp in Cork last week.
The vehicle in which he and Leeds midfielder Eunan O'Kane were travelling in on Sunday was involved in an accident on the way to the team hotel in Dublin.
O'Neill said the accident was nothing serious, adding: "I don't think there's any more to report, other than that the two lads are OK."
The Republic host Uruguay - who will be without Barcelona striker Luis Suarez - in Dublin on 4 June before the World Cup qualifier against Austria at the Aviva Stadium a week later.
Gareth Bale's dipping free-kick gave Wales a half-time lead and sent their fans into raptures.
Slovakia's Ondrej Duda punished passive Welsh defending to equalise.
But substitute Hal Robson-Kanu's scuffed finish won it for Wales, who top Group B and have an excellent chance of reaching the last 16.
Chris Coleman's side face England - who drew 1-1 with Russia in their opening game - on Thursday and, with 16 of the 24 teams qualifying for the knockout stages, they can justifiably hope for an extended stay in France.
Absent from major tournaments since the 1958 World Cup, Wales' deafening fans made for a euphoric atmosphere inside a Stade de Bordeaux awash with red.
Coleman had spoken beforehand about the importance of seizing this historic moment, and his players did so with a wholehearted display.
Slovakia were also making their first appearance in the finals stage of a European Championship and, having beaten Spain in qualifying and knocked Italy out of the 2010 World Cup, they had proved they had a taste for the big occasion.
While Welsh hopes depended heavily on Bale, Slovakia's threat was expected to come from their talisman and top-scorer in qualifying, Marek Hamsik.
The Napoli playmaker lived up to his billing, slaloming his way through Wales' defence after three minutes and appearing certain to score, only to be denied by a brilliant goalline clearance by Ben Davies.
It was a frantic start to the match with both sides seemingly inspired by the magnitude of the moment.
And it was Bale who revelled in it most, striking with a wobbling free-kick that Slovakia goalkeeper Matus Kozacik should have saved.
Coleman's team selection was bold, starting Crystal Palace midfielder Jonny Williams to create a fluid attacking trio with Aaron Ramsey and Bale, while recognised strikers Robson-Kanu and Sam Vokes were on the bench.
The decision was vindicated as Slovakia's defence, with an average age of 31, looked uncertain in their attempts to shackle their opponents.
But Jan Kozak's side eventually settled and started to control possession as the match went on.
Their probing paid dividends after an hour when substitute Duda, unchallenged by Wales' backtracking defenders, fired into the bottom corner.
Having initially been rattled, Wales gathered themselves and rallied with a late push for a winner, which eventually came in fortuitous circumstances.
A heavy touch from Ramsey saw the ball land at Robson-Kanu's feet and, although his shot was miscued, it dribbled past Kozacik.
Slovakia substitute Adam Nemec headed against the post late on, but Wales held on to seal a precious and much-celebrated victory.
Wales manager Chris Coleman on BBC One: "I think it is my proudest moment.
"Our supporters keep on topping what they have done - that support today was unbelievable.
"In the second half the fans sensed we were a bit jaded and sitting back a bit. We came back and they got right behind us. Our boys showed passion and courage to come back. It was incredible attitude and mentality."
Wales forward Gareth Bale on BBC One: "It was like a home game. Our fans are the best in the world and fully got behind us. We gave them something to celebrate.
"The goal is right up there. A memorable moment, a historic moment for our country. The most important thing is we got the three points.
"Hal getting the winner is amazing. The subs have to make an impact and he was amazing when he came on. Everyone has a part to play and we will keep fighting."
Former Wales international John Hartson on BBC Radio 5 live: "All the Wales team have stood up today. They've also had a little bit of luck, which you also need.
"They are doing the right thing. Yes, they've won the game but they are not getting too excited. I believe this win will take us through as one of those third-placed teams.
"When Slovakia hit the post I thought it is Wales' day. Maybe Gary Speed is looking down on the players."
Wales meet British rivals England on Thursday (14:00 BST) at Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens, while Slovakia face Russia on Wednesday at Stade Pierre Mauroy, Lille (14:00 BST).

Brady, 38, and the Patriots were sanctioned after a 243-page report into what became known as 'deflate-gate'.
Brady's ban was overturned in September by a federal judge, who said the NFL's ruling had "legal deficiencies".
But the NFL's subsequent appeal was upheld on Monday.
Brady is now set to miss the first four games of the 2016 season, which starts in September.
The four-time Super Bowl winner, considered one of the best ever quarterbacks, maintains neither he nor the club did anything wrong.
The Patriots won the match in question - against Indianapolis Colts in January 2015 - 45-7, and then won the Super Bowl.
The league fined the Patriots a record $1m (£660,000) and stripped the team of two draft picks, with its report finding Brady was "generally aware" of the scheme.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's inquiry concluded Brady "knew about, approved of, consented to, and provided inducements and rewards" to ensure balls were deflated.
But US District Judge Richard Berman found the league's disciplinary process was "fundamentally unfair" and there were "several significant legal deficiencies" in the penalty issued by Goodell - including failing to notify Brady about the possibility of a punishment.
After his ban was lifted in September, Brady played the full season - his 16th as a professional footballer.
He said at the time: "I don't think it has been good for our sport, to a large degree, we have all lost."
Deflated balls are considered easier to throw and catch.
So it is hardly surprising that people continue to wonder why this personification of the American dream does not just move his other football team to London too, particularly as that team has already got a change of clothes in Wembley's wardrobe and toothbrushes in the bathroom.
The Pakistan-born billionaire, who became a US citizen in 1991, is visiting England's capital again this week, catching up with Fulham's faltering efforts to return to the Premier League. He will also be watching the Jacksonville Jaguars' latest attempt to win an NFL game at their "home away from home" when they meet the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
"I'm from the colonies, so I remember when the sun never set on the British Empire," said the 65-year-old auto-parts tycoon, when I asked him about his links with the city.
"I have a huge affinity with London and I have a lot of relatives here, now and before I was born. I pretty much look at London as the centre of the universe."
Does this sound like a man who would take much persuading to own two of London's "football" teams?
The north Florida-based team, bought by Khan in 2011, are almost three-quarters of the way through an initial four-year deal to play one home game a season at Wembley until 2016.
That agreement was stretched until 2020 on Thursday as part of a wider five-year deal to play two NFL games a season at English football's national stadium, with an option to extend that to 2025.
Given the fact Khan has recently hinted to reporters in Jacksonville that he wants to play one home game a year in London until 2030, it is safe to say that he will be pushing for that option to be exercised.
If it is possible to have an anchor tenant in an agreement to rent temporary space at a different sport's national stadium, in a different country, the Jaguars are that tenant.
This is no small matter in a league that only guarantees its 32 franchises 10 home games a year, of which two are what we would call pre-season friendlies.
Can you imagine how Arsenal season-ticket holders would feel if shareholder Stan Kroenke told them he was taking two or three Premier League games a season to Missouri?
And that is before you consider what any Premier League club's local sponsors might have to say about potentially losing more than 10% of the value of their deals, or what the shift in time zones might do to broadcast rights, or that the Jaguars are the long-term anchor tenants in a publicly financed stadium in Jacksonville.
When it was suggested to the NFL's head of global expansion, Mark Waller, that US sports fans must be more understanding than British football fans, the British-born, Spurs-supporting executive quite rightly scoffed.
"Trust me, they get angry too," said Waller.
But the Jaguars are not a typical NFL team, just as Khan is not a typical NFL team owner and the NFL is no longer thinking like a typical US professional sports league.
Taking that last point first, it is perhaps worth explaining some of the background to what one journalist at Thursday's announcement described "as one of the most boring sagas in British sport", the NFL's coy game of footsie with British fans.
With annual revenues of about £8bn, the NFL has been the world's richest sports league for a long time, a status built on its dominance of the world's most valuable TV market.
If you want to sell anything in the States, from cars to carpet cleaner, you have to advertise during its games: last year, 45 of the top 50 most popular TV programmes in the US were NFL games.
The league's bosses have frequently made fools of those who have predicted that the NFL cannot get any bigger at home but most experts would suggest it is time for this apex predator to look for new hunting grounds. And that explains the advent of the "International Series".
Having tried to export the virtues of America's favourite sport with pre-season games and second-tier leagues, the NFL decided only the real deal would do, so Wembley was hired and we got to see a game a year from 2007 to 2012, two games in 2013 and then three games last year and this season.
Finding teams to cross the Atlantic has been done on a voluntary basis and has required some gentle persuasion and cold, hard compensation.
All but one of the International Series games has sold out (the only one that did not was in 2011 when a labour dispute delayed the announcement of the game, leaving little time to sell the 84,000 tickets…they got close, though). And every game has provided what one Wembley executive described to me as "epic spends" on food and merchandise.
But the NFL is still making a loss on these games as it reimburses any lost revenues at home, as well as covering the significant travel costs.
For the league, however, this is an investment and Waller was justifiably proud to say all 32 owners recently voted to continue the experiment until 2025 and to start looking for new territory to conquer, with Germany and Mexico next on the list.
London will remain the priority, though, as the extension to the Wembley deal follows a commitment to stage at least two games at Tottenham Hotspur's new White Hart Lane from 2018, providing it is finished.
As Waller explained, four games a year in London is half a season, and having two venues should make life easier for the NFL's schedule-makers.
Currently, any team that plays here gets the next weekend off, and 'bye weeks' are only possible during the middle eight weeks of the regular season because of the time it takes to ship equipment here (and get it back) and concerns about compromising the competition.
That window of opportunity also happens to coincide with two banks of international football, and even the Jaguars still get trumped by the Three Lions.
A second stadium, however, means London and the NFL's relationship can take the next step towards full cohabitation: persuading a team (and we are looking at you, Jacksonville) to play back-to-back weekends here, once as a home team, once "on the road".
From there the next stage will be to do away with the automatic bye, then it will be to persuade those teams who have not yet volunteered for missionary duty, then to try three games abroad in a season, a play-off game, the Super Bowl…sorry, I am getting carried away again.
Not that I am the only one. British Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnson are just two prominent domestic cheerleaders for the idea of a full-time London franchise. They have seen the numbers.
When asked at what point the NFL will decide it has sold out Wembley enough times, seen its international TV revenues rise sufficiently and flogged enough replica jerseys abroad to be confident it can sustain a permanent overseas presence, Waller did his best Walter Payton impression.
"As you know that's a decision which rests with the 32 owners and it's definitely something that takes a lot of consideration," he said, swerving skilfully.
"But our commitment has always been to make sure we have a fan base here to support a team so when the ownership is ready to take that decision the fans and the stadiums will be ready.
"We're in good shape, though. The fact that we can sell out three games in the middle of the Rugby World Cup and with a fascinating and intense Premier League season going on is a testament to that."
He also reminded me of the saga that is arguably the USA's most boring sports story: which franchise is going to move into the vacant Los Angeles market.
Once upon a time, as team president Mark Lamping pointed out, the Jaguars would have topped an internet search on the LA question.
Not anymore.
Both he and Khan believe this is because of the "stabilising" effect that playing games in London has had on the Jaguars in Jacksonville.
Their rationale is that they bought a struggling franchise, on and off the field, with a relatively small local fan base.
But becoming the NFL's "international team" has increased revenues (the London game is worth 15% of their annual ticket income) and boosted the team's profile. Their website, for example, has gone from being the league's least visited to one in the top 10 for hits, with most of that new traffic coming from abroad.
All true, no doubt, but it is also true that when you do an internet search for the teams most likely to move to London, the Jaguars come top: a point Lamping acknowledged with a shrug and a smile.
Which brings us back to where we started: look what playing one game a year in London has done for a team like the Jaguars - imagine what eight games would do.
"I think imagination is a crazy thing and that's what makes the world go around," said Khan, who is far too smart to make a decision of this magnitude on such flimsy evidence.
"But it's been great thing for us to play a game here and to continue doing so for the near future."
So Jaguars fans in Jacksonville can rest easy for the time being, and British NFL fans will just have to accept that this is going to be a long-distance relationship for the foreseeable future. | New secretaries of state always face talk of what's waiting in the in-tray.

The 35-year-old collapsed during a training session with his Gabonese club FC 105 Libreville.
He played for the Panthers at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2010 and 2012.
"We played together, we played against each other but it was always a pleasure to play alongside you," Gabon captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang posted.
"Rest in peace my brother."
The Gabon Football Federation (Fegafoot) announced the news and also paid their own tribute.
"The country has lost a brave son who has always given his best for the Gabonese flag," Fegafoot wrote.
"All our condolences to his family and team-mates."
Sunderland and Gabon midfielder Didier Ndong also paid tribute to Brou Apanga on social media.
"I take this moment to tell you that I'll be thinking about you every minute of this match - rest in peace big brother," the 22-year-old wrote just before he took to the field for Sunderland against Middlesbrough.
"Brou Apanga a legend of Gabonese football." he added.
Brou Apanga was born in Ivory Coast but during his first spell with FC 105 he was persuaded to become a Gabonese citizen by the then coach Alain Giresse.
The French coach handed Brou Apanga his debut in 2007 and also helped him secure a move to Brest.
"I have collapsed, I'm destroyed," Giresse, who told French newspaper L'Equipe.
As well as playing for Brest in France he also had spells with Italian clubs Perugia and Brescia after originally beginning his career with FC Politehnica Timisoara in Romania.
After his spell with Brest he returned to Gabon in 2012 and played for Mangasport before enjoying his second spell with FC 105 after returning earlier this year.

Some supporters of laws that restrict the use of public toilets said allowing transgender people to choose their restroom could lead to women and children being attacked.
They said they feared that men could pose as transgender people and use legal protections as a cover.
In recent days, YouTube has seen an uptick in videos showing men entering women's toilets.
Police were called to a Target store in Illinois on Monday for an "active shooter situation".
However, when they arrived they found an unarmed man protesting against Target's toilet policy.

The body of India Chipchase, 20, was found under sheeting on a mattress at a house in Stanley Road in Northampton, on 31 January.
Home Office pathologist Michael Biggs told a Birmingham Crown Court jury she had "bruises around the neck consistent with pressure being applied".
Edward Tenniswood, 52, of Stanley Road, Northampton, denies murder.
The defendant, who worked as a bookkeeper, also denies raping Miss Chipchase.

Dr Biggs told the court the injuries were mainly bruises and scratches, some of which may have been caused by Ms Chipchase falling over after drinking alcohol.
The 20-year-old's blood alcohol level was about three times the drink-drive limit, the court was told.
But the jury also heard she suffered from blunt force trauma to her face and neck, consistent with assault.
A post-mortem examination concluded the cause of death was pressure on the neck.
Earlier, the court heard Mr Tenniswood turned up outside NB's cocktail bar in Northampton in the early hours of 30 January
He "led, steered or escorted" the social care student and part-time barmaid to a taxi, took her to his rented terraced house in Stanley Road and then "raped and throttled" her, the jury was told.
The trial continues.
The nurse helped more than 200 allied soldiers to escape from German-occupied Belgium before being shot by firing squad in 1915.
The six place settings of dinner plates, side plates, soup bowls, a teapot and sugar bowl were found during an attic clearance in Norwich and gifted to the Cavell Nurses Trust.
Produced under the Steelite mark, Royal Doulton's hotel range, the collection carries three hallmarks which Staffordshire ceramics experts dated to between 1968 and post-1983.
It is not known why the pieces were commissioned.
Joe Perry, researcher at the Stoke-on-Trent Potteries Museum, said: "The hallmarks throw up a strange range of dates.
"Our best guess would be the set was made near or after 1983, but utilised some pieces that had been manufactured prior to this but had yet to be decorated.
"The closest significant anniversary to Cavell's death would be 1985 marking 70 years - so the commemoration of Edith Cavell would seem the most likely reason for their production."
Edith Cavell, born at Swardeston, near Norwich, worked as a nurse at the Berkendael Institute in Brussels during World War I. Arrested in August 1915 for helping allied soldiers, she was executed within hours of her October trial.
Her body was exhumed from her execution site in 1919 and given a military escort to Dover and then on to Westminster Abbey for a memorial ceremony. She was finally laid to rest in the grounds of Norwich Cathedral.
Alison Bradbury, of Steelite International, said the pattern on the pieces was produced by a Murray Curvex printing machine "but has not been manufactured in red and brown for the hospitality industry since the early 1980s".
"The badge looks like it was put on by a third party decorator," she added.
Nick Miller, keeper of Cavell memorabilia for St Mary's Church, Swardeston, said: "I was hoping there might be some more detail showing on the plates and other items referring to Edith - as it is, it only has a head and shoulders picture of a woman and the word Norwich.
"That said, I have no doubt it is in memory of Edith Cavell, given the likeness of the portrait."
A variety of memorabilia was produced following Cavell's death.
Some raised money for the Cavell Rest Homes for Nurses, others were purely commercial items similar to those produced to commemorate a royal wedding.
Despite the likeness to the wartime heroine, Norwich Museum's curator of decorative art has questioned the service's Cavell credentials.
"This picture has the wrong style of cap, it looks as if she is wearing lipstick and is slightly soft and feminine, almost as if she's out of a fashion plate," said Francesca Vanke.
"It may be the context at the time explained everything - if the pottery was made for a Cavell 70th anniversary party in the [Norwich] Edith Cavell pub, for instance - it wouldn't need to look like her, as everyone would know who it was meant to be.
"The other possibility, and one I think quite likely, is that this is not connected with Edith at all, but was the logo of a Norwich restaurant or hotel or similar."
It seems the exact origins of the crockery will be never be known as no records appear to exist as to the "third-party decorator".
Mr Miller said the collection will stay in Swardeston among the Edith Cavell memorabilia held in the village, with the hope of putting some of the items on permanent display in the village for the 2015 centenary of her execution.
The prince and the Duchess of Cornwall visited the Belgian battlefield before unveiling the memorial at Hougoumont Farm, a key site in the fighting.
Events are marking the 200th anniversary of the battle, which cost thousands of British and allied lives in the defeat of Napoleon's forces.
Relatives of the three commanders at Waterloo also attended the unveiling.
The 9th Duke of Wellington, Prince Nikolaus von Blucher of Prussia and Prince Charles Bonaparte also took part in a symbolic three-way handshake of friendship at the event.
The farm at Hougoumont played a crucial role in the victory of the Duke of Wellington's allied army over Napoleon's French forces in 1815, and saw some of the fiercest fighting of the battle.
The memorial depicts two life-size soldiers struggling to close the farm's north gate to save it from being overrun by the French.
Soldiers from the Coldstream Guards managed to shut the gate and Wellington later said the outcome of Waterloo "turned on the closing of the gates at Hougoumont".
Robert Hall, BBC News
In front of the great North Gate of Hougoumont Farm, descendants of three Waterloo commanders shook hands, and remembered the events which reshaped European history.
The 9th Duke of Wellington, Prince Charles Bonaparte and Prince Blucher von Wahlstatt (pictured left to right), were here to celebrate today's Europe, and to remember the thousands who still lie on this battlefield.
Hougoumont Farm looks much as it did in 1815, thanks to a seven-year restoration programme; here British and Hanoverian troops held their nerve against a much larger French force, and passed into military folklore.
It was chosen as the site of the first memorial commissioned to mark the endeavours of the whole British army at Waterloo, and unveiled by Prince Charles after a tour of the rolling farmland where more than 40,000 men were killed or wounded.
Among them were the forerunners of today's Guards Regiments - soldiers who had taken part in last weekend's Trooping the Colour ceremony - who donned period uniforms to mirror events at the gates.
This event was the first of many over the next few days. Tens of thousands of visitors will gather to watch more than 5,000 re-enactors recreate the battle as the Waterloo story unfolds once more.
In a reversal of history on Wednesday, 10 Guardsmen from No 7 Company Coldstream Guards, dressed in 1815 period costume, carried out the official opening of the gates at the farm.
While other monuments recognise individual regiments that fought at Waterloo, the sculpture by Vivienne Mallock is the first to pay tribute to all British troops.
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall took a tour of the battlefield, starting at La Belle Alliance Farm - which served as Napoleon's headquarters.
Accompanied by the 9th Duke of Wellington - they then walked along a farm track, skirting the edge of the battlefield site.
The royals - along with Belgium's Princess Astrid - also took a tour of Hougoumont, which has undergone a £3m project to restore it following years of neglect.
Camilla has a direct connection with the new monument as her great-great-great-grandfather, John Whitehill Parson, fought at Waterloo while serving with the 10th Regiment of Light Dragoons.
Barry van Danzig, a trustee of the Hougoumont Project which led efforts to restore the farm, said the closure of the gates "ended 800 years of conflict between France and Britain and brought in 100 years of peace", describing it as a "cornerstone of European history."
He added: "The monument to the whole British Army is important - we all hear about Wellington's victory but it was the guys on the ground that did it."
More than 5,000 enthusiasts are due to perform battle re-enactment displays over the weekend as the bicentenary commemorations continue.
On Thursday, there will be a national service at London's St Paul's Cathedral to commemorate the anniversary of the battle.
The prince and duchess will attend, along with the Earl of Wessex, the current Duke of Wellington, senior members of the armed forces and descendants of those who fought at Waterloo.
The battle was fought after French emperor Napoleon conquered large swathes of Europe, before being defeated by allied forces in 1814.
He was exiled to the Mediterranean island of Elba, but escaped the following year, and on 18 June 1815 his troops again faced the combined allied forces at Waterloo - about 10 miles from the Belgian capital, Brussels.

The cut was the first from the central bank in 18 months and was widely expected by financial markets.
In reaction to the move, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 hit a seven-year high, up 1.3%, while the Australian dollar slumped to a six-year low of $0.7650.
The RBA is the latest central bank to loosen monetary policy to boost growth amid falling oil and commodity prices.
It follows China, Canada, Singapore, Korea and India that have all cut interest rates in recent months.
Australia is dealing with an economic slowdown, largely due to a drop off in mining investment, which had been a driver of the resource-rich economy.
"The available information suggests that growth is continuing at a below-trend pace, with domestic demand growth overall quite weak. As a result, the unemployment rate has gradually moved higher over the past year," RBA Governor Glenn Stevens said in a statement on Tuesday.
In December, Australia's economic growth for the third quarter came in well below expectations, while its unemployment rate hit a 12-year high of 6.3% in November.
After holding its fire for almost a year-and-a-half, the central bank has pulled the trigger on lower interest rates because of worries about the economy, both at home and abroad.
An unprecedented cash rate of 2.25% is aimed at reigniting domestic confidence and performance by encouraging businesses and households to spend and borrow more. As profits and investment in the mining sector decline, growth here has faltered, and making money cheaper is the main weapon in the Reserve Bank's armoury.
Some economists had, though, argued that a falling Australian dollar and lower oil prices were already doing the work of a rate cut by boosting GDP and reducing household fuel bills. There is a concern, too, that historically low interest rates may fuel an already-upbeat housing market, which has risen by about 20% nationally since the rate-reduction cycle started in late 2011.
Depending on what lenders do, mortgage holders should benefit by seeing an average home loan fall by around A$56 ($43; £28) a month. The big question now is does the Reserve Bank have more rate cuts in its sights?
Katrina Ell, an economist at Moody's Analytics, said Australia's low inflation environment, coupled with the global wave of policy easing also drove the cut.
On Monday, a private survey showed that consumer price inflation rose just 0.1% in January from December, while the annual pace of 1.5% was the lowest reading since July 2012.
The grinning tiger in a small village in Garut was supposed to be a mascot for the Siliwangi Military Command.
But internet users found it hilarious because it was so different from the fierce tiger on official logos.
"I don't know why, but every time I see its face, I laugh... buahaha," said one Facebook user.
The tiger had been in place for several years, but only recently found internet fame.
Vincent Candra told the BBC he had laughed a lot when he saw the picture of the tiger and decided to share it on Twitter.
It has since travelled across social media and made its way into the national media.
Many have poked fun at the tiger's cartoonish appearance, while others edited it into film posters and surreal scenarios. Other people uploaded more weird looking tiger statues they had seen in front of army bases.
"I didn't expect it will go viral," said Vincent. "I felt sad when I found out that the statue was destroyed."
On Monday, the army moved in to put the tiger out of its misery, demolishing it with chisels.
Siliwangi military commander Maj Gen Herindra told the BBC the statue had been "made long time ago in Cisewu district".
"Every unit has their own decision on how the statue was made, but sometimes the artist was not that good."
People who had been enjoying the humour online instead expressed grief.
"RIP Cisewu tiger, thank you for entertaining us," said one Twitter user.
One had an alternative suggestion, saying it would have been better to "move it into the zoo, so children can take selfies with it".
A parody Facebook page, Indonesia's Humour Ministry [or Kementerian Humor Indonesia] said a lot of people were "broken hearted".
As one of first sites to share the photo last week, they said they felt "a bit guilty" that it had now gone.
So they made a special "goodbye cartoon" to remind everyone of its unique grinning face.
Gen Herindra said the army would be looking at other statues in the region to see if they are "consistent with the original [military] emblem".
"If some of them are not good, we will change them," he said.
But he also promised a new tiger statue would be installed at the Siliwangi base, which was "more similar" to the command's logo.
The 26-year old has signed a three-year deal and becomes Cardiff's fifth signing of the summer.
Ward scored 12 goals for Rotherham last season and played under Neil Warnock in 2016 when the Cardiff manager was in charge at the New York Stadium.
"I've worked with Danny and I know what he's about... either scoring goals or making them," Warnock said.
"He played wide left, right, in the hole, up front; Danny's a crowd-pleaser with very good energy levels, but I also think there's a lot more to come from him.
"I've been chasing Danny since Christmas and I think we've finally got him now for an excellent price.
"Danny knows what I want and this is a great opportunity for him."
Ward, who has also played for Huddersfield Town, says he is excited to play at the Cardiff City Stadium.
"I'm really glad to get everything sorted before pre-season starts and looking forward to getting going," Ward said.
"I've played at Cardiff City Stadium a few times and always enjoy it; it's a lovely place to play. Hopefully we can fill it up in the new season and really get going.
"The gaffer and his team really turned things round at Rotherham when they came in and I loved playing for them. I'm looking forward to it again at my new club."
The Bluebirds have also signed goalkeepers Lee Camp and Neil Etheridge this summer on free transfers as well as Scotland defender Callum Paterson and winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.

Ian Katz said some of the reaction to the debate on whether the language was a "help or hindrance to the nation" had a "whiff" of "unwillingness" to tackle questions over its promotion.
Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg called his letter "belittling".
The BBC previously said the item should have included a Welsh speaker.
It said it had no new statement to make on Mr Katz's letter, which also said Cymdeithas was unable or unwilling to appear on the programme - a claim the organisation said was untrue.
The letter was responding to North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner and Plaid Cymru member Arfon Jones, who complained to Mr Katz following the programme.
Mr Jones wrote his letter in Welsh and in an initial response Mr Katz said: "Did you mean to send it to me in Welsh? If so, you'll appreciate that I won't be able to reply till I have had it translated."
In a further letter to Mr Jones, the editor accepted the programme's guest casting was not good enough, and the wording of its introduction "was cruder than it should have been".
But he said he would "strongly argue that the question of whether the public promotion of the Welsh language is effective and beneficial to Wales is a perfectly legitimate subject of debate".
"We should have approached it with more subtlety, I agree, but there is a whiff in some of the response to our item of an unwillingness to even countenance such an impertinent question," he added.
Mr Katz also said it was a "fair" point the debate should have included a fluent Welsh speaker, adding the Welsh Language Commissioner and Cymdeithas were invited on "but they were sadly unable or unwilling to participate".
Cymdeithas said that was untrue and they had told a researcher the group could appear live and had offered to go to a studio.
The Welsh Language Commissioner said it informed Newsnight the programme could use an interview which had already been given to the BBC, and also provided the programme with a statement.
The organisation's chairwoman Heledd Gwyndaf said: "This is part of a pattern by the BBC of belittling Wales and the Welsh Language.
"The letter is factually wrong, arrogant and patronising."
She added that the letter was so "frightening" she believed "the editor of Newsnight should resign due to his prejudicial attitude".
Mr Jones called the response "trivial and soulless" and "patronising in tone".
He added: "They have tried to apologise but it's not really an apology."
More than 8,000 people have signed a petition calling for an independent review of how the BBC portrays the Welsh language.
In a statement issued earlier in August the BBC said: "Whilst different perspectives were included in this item on the Welsh language, the discussion of such an important subject would have benefited from more thorough analysis and debate.
"We regret that, but believe it was important to look at this topic and we will do so again in the future."
A later statement said it understood why viewers felt the item was "biased" with guests "poorly chosen".
A senior editor from Newsnight will be in Wales next month on a fact finding mission visit arranged by the Welsh Language Commissioner.
The Sons took the lead thanks to an own goal from goalkeeper Derek Gaston, whose attempted punch from a cross spun into his own net.
Substitute Kudus Oyenuga had not been field for two minutes when the striker finished from Michael Tidser's cross just after the hour.
Oyenuga should have had a second but he fired wide from inside the box.
With momentum having swung Morton's way, Grant Gallagher headed Ricki Lamie's cross against his own post.
Joe Thomson had a late effort ruled out for the visitors and Oyenuga headed wide in the closing moments as the Ton came closest to a winner.

The 33-year-old Irish midfielder has spent four seasons at Griffin Park, making 96 league appearances since joining from Swindon Town.
He was named supporters' player of the year in his first season as Brentford won promotion from League One.
Injuries have limited McCormack's appearances this season to just 10 Championship games.
Mr Trump, a Republican, has never run for the party's nomination before, but has often talked about it.
"I am officially running for president of the United States and we are going to make our country great again," he told supporters at New York's Trump Towers on Fifth Avenue.
He said his fortune would allow him to be an effective president.
"Our country is in serious trouble. We don't have victories anymore," he said.
"When was the last time anyone saw us beating, let's say, China in a trade deal?
"They kill us. I beat China all the time."
Donald Trump is actually running for president. Few people expected it to happen - he's gone through the motions many times before - and his political rants up until now have been roundly derided as a joke. But this time he actually said the words, and he seems like he means it.
With campaign staff in key early voting states and a net worth he puts at more than $8.5bn, he has the resources to roil the Republican presidential field.
Mr Trump is polling high enough to get a spot on the stage in the forthcoming Republican debates, and he's already proven a willingness to take swings at his opponents. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio "don't have a clue", he said in his announcement speech. "How are these people going to lead us?" he asked.
If he says that enough times during a debate - or in a multi-million dollar television advertising spree - a lot of people are going to stop laughing and take notice. And that's probably just what Mr Trump wants.
Mr Trump expressed support for gun rights and said he would protect US government programmes like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
And he said he would "immediately terminate" President Barack Obama's executive order on immigration, which would save undocumented migrants from deportation.
"Sadly, the American Dream is dead", Mr Trump said.
"If I get elected president I will bring it back bigger and better and strong than ever before. We will make America great again."
He becomes the 12th Republican to declare, with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Florida's former governor Jeb Bush among the early frontrunners.
US 2016: Meet the possible candidates
Laverty was able to walk away from the incident, which happened with six laps to go after his bike collided with Alex Lowe's Yamaha and burst into flames as it span off the track.
Ducati's Chaz Davies was the winner as officials quickly halted the race.
Jonathan Rea came second to maintain his lead in the world championship.
Laverty appeared to be attempting an overtaking manoeuvre when the front wheel of his Milwaukee Aprilia came into contact with Lowe's bike.
The Antrim native attempted to stay on the track but his bike spun out of control and Laverty managed to jump clear before it skidded across the gravel trap and burst into flames when it collided with the crash barrier.
The fire was quickly under control and Laverty was helped to his feet and taken to the medical centre for a check-up.
The incident resulted in red flags at the start of lap 13, meaning Davies was awarded his second race victory of the season.
The Welshman had already been in control after a blistering start had taken him over six seconds clear of Rea, the reigning world champion, with Marco Melandri in third.
Rea, who started in third place on the grid, overtook Melandri during the early stages to pick up more championship points and the Kawasaki Racing Team rider is now 71 points clear of his team-mate Tom Sykes.
"It was a great day for me," Rea said after claiming a podium finish. "It's probably the best position I could have hoped for today, given the track."
"Chaz and his team deserved the win. Today was a difficult one of us and hopefully tomorrow can be a little bit better."
The riders will return to action on Sunday with their second race of the weekendd taking place at 1pm local time at Imola.
As Kenya's government tries to fulfil its 2013 election pledge to give first year primary school students access to laptops, Kizito will not be able to benefit from the ambitious $600m (£425m) Digischool scheme.
Instead he will continue to use scraps of paper to write down his notes, keeping them bundled in a small black plastic bag.
"He doesn't have proper books so he borrows paper plucked from other pupils books," says Florence Misiko, the head teacher at St Jude Nabuyeywe in Bungoma, a poor farming area.
Kizito and his six siblings live with their grandmother, who cannot afford to buy exercise books.
At school, he sits on the dusty floor with his 90 classmates, using torn cardboard boxes and worn out sacks as mats.
"It is really hard for these pupils to learn like this," says Mrs Misiko.
"But we are doing everything we can even with little resources. We have actually just received several bags of cement from the county government to finish off the floors of the classes.
"But we need much much more, as you can see," she says, pointing at the gaping holes where windows and doors should be.
"Even if we get laptops, how would we have used them under these conditions? Our priority now is getting students desks and enough books."
But those government primary schools that do have electricity - and an internet connection - will be getting laptops for first year students - along with computer labs.
It has taken the government three years to start to make good its election pledge because of a long-running tendering dispute.
The whole concept has also changed from one laptop per child to setting up shared computer labs.
St Jude Nabuyeywe is typical of many schools in poor and rural areas of Kenya - connection to the electricity grid and internet remains a pipe dream, but Digischool backers say it will benefit 1.2 million pupils at more than 23,000 schools countrywide.
A digital curriculum has also been developed locally and some of the laptops will be manufactured by the Jomo Kenyatta University of Technology.
Sarah Ruto, an education researcher, says the digitisation project is a good investment.
"But I think it is important to acknowledge that technology is not a miracle pill that will solve our problems, rather it is an opportunity for improving things," she says.
She adds that 20% of Kenya's primary schools do not have the basic necessities.
Kenyan Information Minister Joe Mucheru agrees there are issues that need resolving and says several government ministries are working in tandem to ensure that infrastructure in schools is improved alongside the laptop rollout.
"We want to prepare our children and our schools for 21st Century jobs. You have to start from somewhere," the minister says.
"You can't say they have nothing - they have books, they have teachers, they have curriculum, but it's time we inject the digital content into our curriculum."
In stark contrast to Bungoma, children at a school in a sprawling low-income area of the capital, Nairobi, are excitedly chatting in the playground about the imminent arrival of their computers.
Roysambu Primary School is among 150 schools chosen to pilot the project.
"I can't wait to learn new things and play educative games on the laptops," says 10-year-old Lincoln Maina - even though his class is not directly in line to get the computers funded out of the education ministry's $3bn annual budget.
"I have used a computer before and I will teach my friends a few of the games I enjoy at home," he says.
Sarah Nyota, head teacher at Roysambu Primary School:
"The world out there is moving fast and we cannot as a country afford to remain behind in terms of technology"
It is not only the pupils who are enthusiastic at Roysambu, parents are giving it their full backing and are donating laptops to help expand the pool of computers so all 1,700 students get a chance to use them.
Head teacher Sarah Nyota says some parents even helped build the storage facility and charging units for the laptops.
"The world out there is moving fast and we cannot as a country afford to remain behind in terms of technology," she says.
She has plans to rotate classes over weekends and school holidays to make sure all pupils get a chance to use the computers.
And the intention is to expand the project so all pupils can have better access to computers, says Mr Mucheru.
''If we don't have our young children trained on digital, they will be even worse off than we think they will be."
John McGinn's terrific 25-yard drive put Hibs ahead after 12 minutes.
The Scotland midfielder had another long-range effort saved just after the break, before Higginbotham converted from the spot following a hand-ball.
Hibernian's lead at the league summit has been cut to nine points, after Falkirk beat Raith Rovers, with five matches remaining.
The Easter Road side made the trip across the Forth with the backing of around 4,000 supporters, and the visitors began the game in fine style. Jason Cummings made space down the left and his cross into the box was ushered clear by Callum Morris with Brian Graham lurking just behind.
McGinn, very much the Hibs fulcrum, broke the deadlock with a low, thunderous effort that left Pars goalkeeper Sean Murdoch with no chance.
The East End Park surface was not conducive to slick, passing football with multiple bare patches hindering the players' efforts to control the ball.
In the Hibs goal, Ofir Marciano's error almost gifted the hosts an equaliser, when he allowed a back-pass to trickle under his foot. Paul McMullan pounced on the loose ball, but the Israeli international recovered well to block the striker's shot.
The visitors began the second half with the same verve and energy as they had the first. Murdoch parried away another McGinn piledriver, and although Cummings clipped the rebound across the face of goal, his strike partner Graham skewed wide from six yards out.
The roles were reversed a few moments later when Cummings missed a golden opportunity to double Hibs' lead from a Graham cross, before, at the other end, Nicky Clark's header drifted just wide of the target.
Just before the hour mark, Dunfermline drew level in controversial circumstances.
The ball was flicked into the away box, with Pars players claiming it struck the arm of Lewis Stevenson. Referee Greg Aitken took time to make his decision, but eventually pointed to the spot.
Marciano got his hand to Higginbotham's spot-kick, but the ball crept into the bottom corner of the goal.
Neither goalkeeper was troubled in the final half-hour, and despite a 12th draw of the season, Hibernian are another step closer to returning to the Premiership.
Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon: "I thought we were excellent first half, really good value for the lead. They get a penalty which is debatable - if it's the correct decision, it's probably the only one the referee made all afternoon, as far as I'm concerned.
"I'm not too sure Lewis could do much about (the penalty); he's about a yard away. His arm's maybe deemed to be in an unnatural position. He booked Dylan McGeouch for diving - it's ridiculous. And some of the other decisions I wasn't pleased about. I just think the standard of refereeing's not great at the minute.
"We just need to keep ticking off the games at the minute. We should be putting these games away, because we had total control of the game for long periods.
"We keep dragging it out - that's annoying, but we're nearly there."

The shop on Glasgow's Buchanan Street opened three years ago but the Californian-based company has told staff it is closing the outlet.
Retailer H&M has announced it will move into the property as it opens a new flagship store.
H&M will also retain its existing unit in nearby Buchanan Galleries to house one of its other brands.
A spokeswoman for Forever 21 said: ""Forever 21 is constantly evaluating our portfolio of stores and has proposed one recent store closure in Glasgow.
"We made the proposal to close this store after careful consideration of the long-term profitability of the particular location.
"Forever 21 operates multiple stores across Europe, where our customers will continue to have access to the fast fashion they have come to love and expect from Forever 21."
Owners of the Buchanan Quarter building said there had been strong demand from parties interested in the 65,000sq ft space being vacated by Forever 21.
A spokesman for Land Securities said: "Immediately following the Forever 21 decision to exit, we received strong interest in the store on Buchanan Street and subsequently let the unit to H&M as a flagship.
"The strong demand for the space reinforces Glasgow city centre's position as the UK's top retail destination outside London."
H&M country manager Carlos Duarte said: "We are delighted to be relocating to 185 Buchanan Street. This is a very exciting opportunity to expand our brand.
"The store will offer something for everyone, no matter your age, budget or personal style."
The annual Festival of Faith is rooted in Catholic devotion to the Virgin Mary and nine successive days of services known as a novena.
About 15,000 people are expected to attend the sessions at Clonard Monastery in west Belfast.
The monastery has recently been restored and the roof and floor have been replaced.
Father Michael Murtagh said the renovation has been completed successfully
"We are very happy and relieved that we have reached this stage," he said.
"The tiles were in tatters but they have now been cleaned. We have also installed under floor heating and the building is now ready for the traditional schedule of services."
The novena now also has a large online following: "For the last seven or eight years we have been broadcasting live on the internet and we have around 5,000 people watching the services each day." said Father Murtagh.
"It's an experience of God and it's really an experience of the church at it's best. People are really lifted out of whatever is dragging them down and they get a lift in faith and a lift in hope."
According to tradition the novena will end with a sing-a-long led by the priest.
During the war years, Clonard was a place of shelter for the citizens of west Belfast when Catholics and Protestants sheltered together in the vaults of the church during air raids.
But the monastery, which sits on Belfast's peace line, also has a special significance in Northern Ireland's peace process.
Several of its redemptorist priests were involved as intermediaries between republicans and others in the political establishment at various key times in the Troubles.
Cerberus has a dominant position in the Northern Ireland commercial property market, having spent more than £2.5bn buying loan portfolios.
The legal challenge is being taken by Belfast businessman Gareth Graham
He is contesting the fund's right to appoint receivers and administrators to a number of his companies.
It is understood to be the first legal challenge Cerberus has faced since it began operating in Northern Ireland.
The court is due to rule on preliminary issues next week.
Stephen Shaw QC, for Cerberus, said the two main issues were around what scope of action the receivers and administrators would have pending a trial and the matter of costs.
He told a judge that Mr Graham was seeking access to rental income from some properties that are the subject of the disputed receiverships.
Monye Anyadike-Danes QC, for Mr Graham, said the issue of whether of a court case would require oral evidence also needed to be decided.
Cerberus' business model involves borrowers rapidly repaying their loans by selling properties or finding new financial backers.
A number of borrowers have been able to reach a deal with Cerberus but it has also enforced some loans by appointing administrators or receivers.
Cerberus has previously said it has "a long and demonstrated history of treating our borrowers consistently and fairly".
Scottish Borders Council has backed proposals to erect the statue in his home town of Peebles.
The sculpture of a horse and rider jumping a five-bar gate will be made from recycled and re-shaped horse shoes.
The 30-year-old made history in September as the first person to win showjumping's grand slam.
Riding Hello Sanctos, he scooped the sport's biggest individual prize of 1m Euros (£806,000).
Community group Bonnie Peebles applied to the local authority to erect a statue in his honour at the junction of Edinburgh Road and The Bridges.
In their application, secretary Margaret Wightman said: "This new project is to recognise the amazing achievements of local lad Scott Brash who has gone on to be world number one showjumper.
"We are excited to have this idea for public art for all to enjoy and delighted with the design by Kevin Paxton, blacksmith. This site is ideal to display such a unique work of sculpture."
The group of volunteers, who improve and maintain parts of town, said the sculpture would be three metres high (10ft) and three metres wide.
Last year, Brash was the subject of a social media campaign after complaints that he was overlooked for nomination for BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
British Showjumping said they were "naturally extremely disappointed" that he was not nominated.
The 58-year-old has decided to go public with the gender change because she says there is "a much better acceptance and understanding".
Millar was best known for winning the King of the Mountains prize in the Tour de France in 1984.
Philippa York, who becomes the first high-profile cyclist to go public, made the statement on cyclingnews.com.
York, who says she has been going through the transition since 2000, added: "The outcome of that journey has meant that for a considerable time now I have lived as Philippa.
"The steps taken over a prolonged period under the watchful eye of the medical profession to complete the transition from one gender to another can be difficult and are always only taken after much soul searching and anguish."
The Scot is part of ITV4's commentary team, alongside fellow former cycling professionals Chris Boardman and David Millar, for the Tour de France, which runs until 23 July.
"As much as I've guarded my privacy over the years there are a few, I believe obvious, reasons to why I haven't had a public "image" since I transitioned.
"Gratifyingly, times have moved on from ten years ago when my family, friends and I were subjected to the archaic views and prejudice that some people and certain sections of the tabloid media held."
Millar finished fourth in the 1984 Tour de France - a British record at the time.
Millar also came second in the 1985 and 1986 Tours of Spain, as well as runner-up in the 1987 Giro d'Italia. He won three mountain stages in the Tour, all in the Pyrenees.
"While there has been some speculation concerning my gender over the past decade, perhaps it'll now be better understood why unwelcome and unasked for intrusions into that transition have been damaging not only to myself but to those I love," York said.
"Thankfully the people in my family who I cherish have since matured and grown into strong and independent individuals, therefore the need to protect them has lessened.
"This, combined with their support, encouragement and the shift in modern society's attitudes, means that this will be a step forward for everyone."
"As much as various articles and blogs have been published using my former identity of Robert, well that was then and this is now. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the different organisations and those 'in the know' for guarding my privacy as long as they have."
New figures for June show that 95.5% of people who presented at A&E were dealt with within four hours.
The Scottish government wants at least 95% of patients to be seen, and subsequently admitted, discharged or transferred within that time.
Only the Glasgow and Forth Valley health boards missed the target.
The ISD Scotland monthly statistics reveal that there were 138,813 attendances at Scotland's emergency departments in June.
That marks a significant drop on the previous month, when there more than 150,000 attendances, 94% of which were dealt with within four hours.
The latest weekly statistics for July show A&Es have continued to meet their targets, with performance hitting 95.3% in the week ending 23 July.
They highlight a recent trend in which NHS Scotland meets its targets in the summer, but fails to reach it during winter months.
In July last year, 95.8% of patients were treated within four hours, but that figure fell to 91.9% in January.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "It is very encouraging that performance across Scotland was above the 95% target for June, and that Scotland's A&Es have outperformed those in the rest of the UK for more than two years.
"The weekly statistics for core sites are also above that level for the second week in a row.
"These positive results are thanks to the hard work of staff on the ground, both in emergency departments and elsewhere in the health and social care system.
"While we can expect some fluctuation week-to-week depending on seasonal pressures there has been continued focus on improvements in patient flow.
"For example, we are ensuring more people are discharged before noon and at weekends, helping to reduce delayed discharge, and meaning patients can be admitted to hospital more quickly if required.
"An additional £9m has been given to boards this year to help them continue these sustainable improvements in unscheduled care."
Sir Jonathan Stephens said the leaks created uncertainty and pointed out that they were sometimes wrong.
The news of Lenny Henry's knighthood and Benedict Cumberbatch's CBE broke earlier this week.
At the end of last year an inquiry was launched when the same thing happened.
Awards to actors Joan Collins, James Corden and Sheridan Smith were mentioned prematurely in the press.
Reports said rugby player Jonny Wilkinson was set to receive a knighthood before it emerged that he was not included.
This year he has become a CBE.
Sir Jonathan said the Honours Committee had tightened security, but would have to look again at its practices.
"We made a number of changes to tighten up procedure and to tighten up access and we'll obviously be looking to learn lessons again from the experience this time," he said.
"Sometimes of course the leaks are inaccurate, so we treat it very seriously."
Honour recipients find out weeks in advance, but are urged to keep the news confidential as are Cabinet officials until the announcement.
Dame Esther Rantzen said she suspected whoever was revealing the information was "doing it for money".
The Childline founder and TV presenter, whose own inclusion in the New Year Honours list emerged before the formal announcement, said: "I think it is mean - it is like opening a Christmas present before Christmas Day."
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "There is someone in the mysterious smoke-filled rooms who is looking at the list.
"Whoever is doing it... I think they are being paid quite a lot, because of Lenny Henry, a big name, and big articles and front page and all that.
"But I wish they wouldn't because it is taking candy from a baby. The nation like the surprise package."
There were 363 cases in 2005-2006, compared with 652 admissions in 2014-2015.
The figures emerged two days after a couple in charge of a dog which attacked two women in separate incidents were jailed.
Leeane McHugh, 35, and Patrick Maher, 46, had previously admitted separate dangerous dog charges.
The second victim of the couple's Japanese Akita was 60-year-old Sylvia Baillie, who was bitten on the cheek at her Paisley home in July 2016.
Speaking to BBC Scotland's Timeline programme, Ms Baille said the couple and their dog had been in her house after a funeral.
"I was patting it, it was fine and it was giving me its paw so I didn't feel intimidated or anything."
But she said when she leant over the couch to pat the dog goodbye, it attacked.
"All I seen was the dog's teeth coming towards me and it grabbed me. It was from the ear right round my jaw.
"And from there I did collapse and I passed out."
Ms Baille needed 17 stitches in the left side of her face and was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.
"They wouldn't show me my face. I was allowed up with my drip to go to the toilet. I seen my face in the mirror and I was just shaking like a leaf.
"It wasn't me I was looking at in the mirror - it was like the elephant man. My face was so swollen."
Ms Baille could not eat solids for 10 weeks and said she would not be able to approach a dog again.
She told the BBC she believed the dog should have been destroyed after attacking the other woman just a month earlier.
"I'd like to see a dog on a lead at all times and plus if they know it's out of control it should be muzzled," she added.
The Timeline programme also uncovered an apparent contrast in how local authorities deal with dangerous dogs.
As an example, it highlighted figures from Fife and from Glasgow.
Fife has issued 196 dog control notices since 2011, when councils were given these powers.
Glasgow, which has a larger population, issued just three notices.

Ministers say they want a "special partnership" with the EU, but it is "neither necessary nor appropriate" for the ECJ to police it.
Critics say the word "direct" leaves room for the ECJ to still play a part.
The pro-EU Open Britain group said the phrase paved the way for a "climbdown" over the jurisdiction of the court.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Labour MP Chuka Umunna said: "Nothing the government says it wants to deliver from Brexit - be it on trade, citizens' rights, or judicial co-operation - can be achieved without a dispute resolution system involving some role for European judges."
But Leave campaigner Bernard Jenkin told the Daily Telegraph the court "should not have any role" post-Brexit.
"No non-EU country will be much interested in talking to us about a free trade agreement if we still look hobbled by our relationship to the EU," added the Conservative MP.
Prime Minister Theresa May has promised to take the UK out of the Luxembourg-based ECJ's jurisdiction after Brexit.
But the question of how future agreements between the UK and the EU will be enforced is proving contentious.
The policy paper will be released later as ministers argue there are plenty of other ways of resolving disputes without the European courts.
The ECJ is in charge of ensuring member states abide by EU law.
Its rulings are binding on all member states, and it also settles disputes between countries and EU institutions.
After the UK voted to leave the EU last year, Mrs May promised to make the UK a "fully independent, sovereign country".
But pro-EU campaigners say the government made an "appalling error" by making leaving the ECJ a "red line" in Brexit negotiations, saying new courts will now be needed in all the areas it extends to, including trade, citizens' rights and security.
Brexit Secretary David Davis, who will resume negotiations with Brussels on 28 August, has spoken of the "arbitration arrangements" that will be needed in areas where the UK and the EU make new arrangements - but insists these will not involve the ECJ.
"If Manchester United goes to play Real Madrid, they don't allow Real Madrid to nominate the referee," he said last month.
Wednesday's publication - the latest in a series of papers setting out the UK government's stance on key issues - will say there are a "variety of precedents for resolving disputes that may arise between the UK and the EU" without the ECJ having direct jurisdiction.
These will need to include the free trade deal the UK hopes to strike with the EU to replace its membership of the single market.
Sir Keir Starmer, Labour's shadow Brexit secretary, said: "The prime minister's ideological insistence that there can be no future role whatsoever for the ECJ or any similar court-like body risks preventing the deal Britain needs."
Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable said Mrs May's "red lines are becoming more blurred by the day", saying the ECJ had "served Britain's interests well" and should not be "trashed".
The Institute of Directors called for "flexibility and pragmatism" when leaving the ECJ's jurisdiction.
"The emphasis here should be on ending its direct effect, not trying to throw off the influence of the court altogether," it said.
On Monday, the president of the court of the European Free Trade Area (Efta) - which governs Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway's relationship with the single market - suggested his institution could be used.
But this could anger some Eurosceptic Conservative MPs, because the Efta court, also based in Luxembourg, tends to follow closely the ECJ with its rulings.
The ECJ has also emerged as the central stumbling block in reaching a deal on the rights of EU nationals after Brexit.
The EU side believes the ECJ should have a role in enforcing these rights - a proposal rejected by the UK.
The UK government said its paper on Wednesday would offer maximum certainty to businesses and individuals. It will also suggest that dispute resolution mechanisms could be tailored to the issue at stake in each agreement.
"It is in the interests of both the UK and the EU, and of our citizens and businesses, that the rights and obligations agreed between us can be relied upon and enforced in appropriate ways," a spokeswoman said.
"It is also in everyone's interest that, where disputes arise between the UK and the EU on the application or interpretation of these obligations, those disputes can be resolved efficiently and effectively."
Officers discovered the man's body inside a property in Lincoln Avenue in Knightswood at about 20:45 on Monday.
Police said he had yet to be formally identified and that they were conducting door-to-door inquiries in the area.
A post-mortem examination is due to be carried out to determine exactly how the man died.
Det Insp Alan McAlpine, who is leading the investigation, said officers were also looking for CCTV in the area and urged anyone with information about the circumstances surrounding the man's death to come forward.
He said: "Extensive inquiries are ongoing and specialist forensic teams have been active at the scene.
"At this time I am seeking the assistance of the local community to provide us with any information.
"I am asking them to think back across the last week. Have you heard anything unusual?
"Did you witness any kind of disturbance? The information you have may not seem like much, but as part of our broader investigation it could make all the difference."
Activists say the Sioux Indians are under threat as the pipeline could contaminate the tribe's water source.
Protesters are worried police might be tracking them on social media, igniting concerns over digital privacy.
Their aim is to confuse the police.
They believe the local police department is using Facebook's location feature to compile a list of activists who are protesting about the pipeline.
The location feature allows users to tag themselves at a specific location or "check-in" and add related photos and videos.
Over the weekend, activists asked people to falsely "check in" on Facebook to confuse police about the number and identity of those actually protesting.
Supporters put out a call for help on Facebook.
"The Morton County Sheriff's Department has been using Facebook check-ins to find out who is at SR [Standing Rock] in order to target them in attempts to disrupt the prayer camps," said the earliest publicly traceable version of the post, shared by a Facebook user from North Carolina on Sunday.
"SO Water Protectors are calling on EVERYONE to check-in at SR to overwhelm and confuse them."
They deny they are using social media to track protesters' movements.
Snopes, a website that investigates internet rumours, said they had contacted police who denied using social media to track protesters.
"An officer explained that the metric [Facebook data] presented no intelligence value," one article on the website said.
"If police were using geolocation tools based on mobile devices, remote check-ins would not confuse or overwhelm them," it added.
Snopes did not confirm who started the viral Facebook post initially.
Earlier this month, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) reported that police had been using social media to track protesters during the Ferguson and Baltimore riots last year.
They said police had sourced information from Geofeedia, a data-providing company based in Chicago. The ACLU said this type of monitoring can "disproportionately impact communities of colour".
They also called upon social media executives to restrict access to data mining companies who would provide information to the police.
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have since shut off access to Geofeedia.
The $3.7bn (£2.8bn) Dakota Access pipeline has drawn huge protests in North Dakota where thousands of people are trying to halt its construction, most notably the Sioux Native Americans.
The tribe says the pipeline will traverse over their sacred ancestral burial grounds, archaeological sites, and could pollute their main source of water.
Environmental activists have shown solidarity with the Sioux tribe saying the pipeline, which can transport up to 570,000 barrels of crude oil a day, will greatly increase fossil fuel emissions.
The company behind the pipeline, Energy Transport Partners, has said the project will boost local economies and is much safer than transporting oil by rail or road.
Critics say the police have used unnecessary force on activists. The local police have arrested nearly 150 activists.
They have contrasted the police treatment of North Dakota protesters to the recent acquittal of seven members of an armed militia who led a 41-day standoff at a wildlife refuge in Oregon over federal land ownership.
Some Native American activists have criticised the acquittal saying the Oregon protesters were given special privilege because they were white.
Native Americans in Standing Rock say they are committed to being unarmed.
Xhopakelxhit, a Native American activist at Standing Rock, told the Guardian: "If native people were armed like the Bundy militia, we would be killed."
A private security firms hired used by the pipeline company has used attack dogs on activists. Police say the firm was unlicensed and may face charges.
Historically, the treatment of Native Americans has been brutal.
Spanish, British, and French colonisers all fought vicious wars with native tribes. And as the American nation state moved west, settlers and landowners fought bitter battles with tribes across the continent.
During the formation of states across America, the federal government made land deals with individual tribes. The reservation lands were agreed to under treaties and tribes were given autonomy to govern themselves on these lands.
The Sioux Indians have claimed the land they are protesting on is rightfully theirs under a 1851 treaty which was subsequently dishonoured. The police say they are on private land.
In September the federal government temporarily blocked pipeline construction under the Missouri River, close to the Standing Rock Reservation. Although this ruling is binding until further notice, construction elsewhere along the pipeline's route is not prohibited and has continued.
He told a meeting of the governing MPLA party that Joao Lourenco, the defence minister, would be the party's presidential candidate.
But the 74-year-old is to remain leader of the influential ruling party.
He is one of Africa's longest-serving leaders, becoming president of the oil-rich nation in September 1979.
Mr Dos Santos has previously said he would stand down only to change his mind.
Many Angolans credit him for leading the country to recovery after the end of its 27-year civil war in 2002.
But some accuse Mr Dos Santos of being authoritarian, staying in office for too long and failing to distribute the proceeds from the oil boom more widely.
Last year, the president appointed his daughter Isabel dos Santos to head state-run oil firm Sonangol.
"He's pursuing a legacy plan with family members retaining control of key financial institutions," Darias Jonker, Africa director of political risk consultancy at Eurasia Group, told the Reuters news agency.
"We see signs that he plans to retain some power behind the throne."
A former general, the 62-year-old is part of the president's inner circle and is currently the MPLA's deputy leader.
As a young man he fought against Portuguese colonial rule, and in the civil war that followed independence in 1975.
Like Mr Dos Santos, he was a student in the former Soviet Union before going into politics.
According to his biography posted on the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP), he used to play football and do Shotokan karate and also enjoys chess and horse-riding.
He is married with six children and speaks Russian, Spanish and English.
Angola no longer directly elects a president, so the winning party in the parliamentary vote chooses the head of state.
As the MPLA faces no real political opposition, it is likely that Mr Lourenco will become president.
Soren Kirk Jensen of the London-based Chatham House think tank says Mr Lourenco has a reputation as a moderate.
"He is probably the right person to be the bridge as Angola goes through a transition," he told the AFP news agency.
Elliott Hague, 18, from Beighton, is alleged to have started the blaze, which destroyed parts of the Bizzy Bees Playgroup, in November.
The cost of repairing the nursery has been put at about £575,000.
Mr Hague appeared at Sheffield Magistrates Court earlier where he was bailed to appear at the city's crown court on 18 February.
She says she "wasn't taken seriously" when she first went to the doctors with her mum.
It wasn't until she says she "basically broke down in front of the GP" that she was diagnosed with Dermatillomania and was referred for professional help.
Now, the 20-year-old from Shropshire wants more people to know about the condition.
She said: "There's not really a lot I can do about it other than raise awareness to help people out there in the same situation."
Samantha has set up a support network on Facebook to help share advice for other people in her position.
She says she hopes the group can pass on some of the help she got when she received cognitive behavioural therapy.
The treatment teaches her what triggers the condition and ways she can control the urge.
"It really helped to be honest," she said.
"But it's not a miracle cure. It's not going to get rid of it straight away."
Samantha's condition has affected her face but she says Dermatillomania can leave cuts and scabs all over the body.
She said her condition puts her into a "trance-like state" and stops her doing day to day tasks.
"Sometimes you feel like giving up because it's always going to keep going," she said.
"It's horrible because I feel like I have to put make-up on and people don't understand. You just feel constantly judged.
"But when I've got make-up on I don't really feel like myself either, so none of them are me."
She added that she doesn't like making social plans because she knows that she'll become self-conscious worrying about her condition and will end up not going out.
"I think it's hard because there's so much pressure out there on social media.
"It's never really bothered me because I am who I am. I just want other people to know they're not alone."

The Hampshire site was evacuated on the show's opening day after trade stands were left without power. Flying displays were also cancelled.
The biennial show runs until Friday and organisers said Monday's tickets would be valid on Tuesday.
The event boasts about 1,500 exhibitors and 100,000 visitors each year.
Farnborough airshow tweeted: "Disappointing to close today's show early. However, we expect to run a full programme of events tomorrow and for the rest of the week."
Marc Curant, who was at the show, said the airfield "looks like an an ocean".
The issue is so serious that the police has been asked to investigate Colchester General Hospital.
Such a situation is unprecedented in the NHS - and as a result the temptation is to dismiss it as a one-off that should be seen in isolation.
Unfortunately, it would be complacent to do so.
What this case demonstrates is the problem inspectors have in identifying some issues in organisations as complex as hospitals.
The Care Quality Commission did not find the dodgy records. It was told where to look.
During the spring Colchester was subject to an inspection as part of the Keogh Review into mortality rates.
The review - launched after the Stafford Hospital public inquiry - investigated the 14 trusts with the highest death rates.
Problems were identified, including with the ways complaints were handled, staffing rates and leadership weaknesses, but not this.
The concerns that were identified were not even considered important enough for Colchester to be placed in special measures.
When the results of the review were announced Colchester was one of only three trusts that escaped the sanction.
But towards the end of the Keogh process a whistleblower raised concerns about the tampering of records.
This was passed on to the CQC which carried out its own inspections in August and September.
These led to Tuesday's report that showed different information was being entered into the hospital's system than was on the patients' notes so their cancer performance data looked better than it was.
The trust has now been placed in special measures and the management of the trust is being reviewed.
But to make matters worse, the trust had also carried out its own probe in early 2012 after concerns were raised by admin staff in the cancer department.
It did not identify serious problems, but the trust now accepts the issue was "not properly investigated".
The fact that concerns had been aired but not properly looked into has chilling echoes of the Stafford Hospital scandal.
Christina McAnea, head of health at Unison, whose members raised the alarm, says: "They raised their concerns repeatedly and in emails to senior managers, right up to the chief executive, but they were ignored."
Last week a review of complaints by the Labour MP Ann Clywd said the culture of "delay and denial" had to end.
The Colchester case shows just how far the NHS has to go.

The American, 33, beat Spain's Garbine Muguruza 6-4 6-4 at Wimbledon to take possession of all four major titles.
It gave her the second 'Serena Slam' of her career, but she can break new ground in New York next month.
"I feel like if I can do the 'Serena Slam', I will be OK heading into the Grand Slam," said Williams.
"Like I always say, there's 127 other people that don't want to see me win. Nothing personal, they just want to win.
"I had a really tough draw [at Wimbledon]. This gives me confidence that if I had this draw, I can do it again. I'll just do the best I can.

"I really don't feel like I have anything to lose. I've kind of solidified my place at number one. My goal is always to end the year at number one."
Williams has now won 21 Grand Slam titles, one short of the open era record set by Steffi Graf who was the only other woman to complete the calendar Slam in 1988.
The American, who has won the US Open for the last three years running, was in little doubt about the scale of the achievement that is now within her sights at Flushing Meadows.
"It's really, really huge," said Williams. "But I haven't done it. I have the 'Serena Slam' now, which is amazing.
"But it's different to actually have something and then try to accomplish it."
Williams will turn 34 next month and Saturday's victory made her the oldest Grand Slam winner in the open era, although Roger Federer would surpass her if he wins Sunday's men's singles final.
"I feel great," said Williams. "I definitely don't feel old. I think in life I'm still pretty young.
"With new technology, new workouts, all this other stuff, I think the life of an athlete is changing and the longevity is becoming longer."
Muguruza, 21, received a huge ovation from the Centre Court crowd after fighting back in the second set.
"I couldn't stop crying," said the Spaniard. "So many people are clapping. I don't know, I make all these people feel this in a tennis court? I felt special."
Asked what the final had told her about Williams, Muguruza added: "I learned that she's also nervous, even though she played I don't know how many finals.
"And she finds the way, being so nervous, to serve, to hit winners. She's world number one. That's what I saw today. I see it every day."
At the same time, they have created a narrative about the referendum result which casts it as a victory for the common man and woman against a liberal, metropolitan establishment that counts the mainstream media - whatever that now means - as its weapon of choice.
This is one of the more pleasing ironies about the state of media in Britain today.
A brief glance at this week's headlines gives ample evidence of what psychologists call confirmation bias - the tendency to interpret events in a way that accords with pre-existing prejudices.
For papers who backed Leave, Theresa May's speech showed a stern commitment to freedom and love of country. The Mail, Sun, Telegraph and Express, who between them have done most to advance the Brexit cause, lauded the prime minister's speech.
The Mail has been a strong backer of May, seeing her as much the most plausible Tory leader in the aftermath of David Cameron's resignation, and contrasting her ostensible gravitas with the lightweights in her cabinet. Just for clarity, I'm paraphrasing the Mail's position there rather than mine, and doing so based on several conversations with the most senior figures there.
Picture choices matter so much in newspapers. I must say I am a very big fan of cartoons on front pages, as this Charlie Hebdo front page from my previous job shows you, and the Mail's use of a cartoon to show the prime minister looking defiant in a way redolent of the Dad's Army title sequence achieves its desired effect.
Similarly the Sun has her looking cheerful next to supportive furniture (the headline and sub-headline).
The Telegraph and the Guardian use similar pictures but by using a much tighter crop, a blue background and a positive headline, the Telegraph seem to endorse the prime minister; whereas the Guardian seem to issue scepticism about her chances of success. Interestingly, the Financial Times, which like the Guardian backed Remain, also uses exactly the same picture, albeit with a different crop. Their headline, being longer than most of the others, equivocates.
Wednesday's front pages alone provide ample evidence of the way the same events are interpreted in wildly different ways by different newspapers - always and without fail in accordance with their prejudices.
In some ways, Fleet Street, as romantics like me still sometimes call it, is basically the industrialisation of confirmation bias.
Does that matter, when newspapers are in swift decline?
Of course it does, and hugely so. Despite their perpetual shrinkage, newspapers are still read by millions of people across Britain.
Moreover, they exert huge - some would argue disproportionate - influence on the news agenda of broadcasters like the BBC, Sky and ITV.
And in my experience, Westminster is still obsessed, to a really bizarre degree, with trying to influence newspapers.
This was perhaps understandable 20 years ago; but today, when fake news goes viral, it seem strange to me how much politicians care about headlines on page 17 of daily publications.
And yet they do. Which is why the other important point about Fleet Street is that it is strongly weighted toward Brexit, and in that sense in touch with voters who, albeit by a small margin, voted to Leave.
Most papers are delighted with the referendum result and support the prime minister. Given the sheer complexity of Brexit negotiations, it's lucky for Theresa May that, despite having backed Remain herself, she can generally count on Britain's newspapers to back her every move in Brussels.
That is not a luxury many previous prime ministers have enjoyed.
It affects both the A55 expressway and the A483 south of Chester.
Overnight closures will be in place from 20:00 BST on Friday on the western side of the roundabout, and the northbound carriageway from Pulford traffic lights.
Restrictions will be in place until 05:00 on Monday.
Highways England, which is overseeing the £6m improvement project, said the long-running roadworks were nearing completion and should be finished by 28 June.
During the day on Saturday and Sunday there will be one lane open on the A483 northbound onto the Posthouse Roundabout, however vehicles will not be able to turn right onto the eastbound A55.
Instead, traffic must follow A55 diversions via junction 35.
"We apologise for the delay and disruption in completing this complicated improvement and for the inconvenience these delays have caused to road users on both sides of the border, " said Andy Withington from Highways England.
"We have pulled out all the stops to make sure that the project is completed by Sunday, 28 June - and are still on course to open the road by then."
Work on the roads was originally due to be completed in March, prompting complaints from local politicians on both sides of the Wales and England border.
Theresa May had said her decision would "deter potential extremists".
But the High Court said Mrs May's position lacked "internal logic" and was "irrational".
The court said it was unfair to deny citizenship to the wife of Egyptian-born Hany Youssef and their children.
It said Mr Youssef's wife, 51, and the two children, 27 and 26, were all of good character.
Mr Justice Ouseley said: "There is real unfairness, on the face of it, in refusing naturalisation to someone who qualifies in all other respects, in order to provide a general deterrent to others, over whom the applicant has no control."
The family's barrister, Michael Fordham QC, had said it would be wrong to penalise them for "the sins of the father", and any such move would have "no place in a liberal democracy".
Robin Tam QC, for the home secretary, had said being granted British citizenship was "a privilege, not a right".
He argued that denying citizenship was a reasonable deterrent and was not disproportionate because those concerned were still permitted to carry on living in the UK.
The family have lived in the UK since 1994 and have had indefinite leave to remain since 2009.
A United Nations independent ombudsman had concluded that Mr Youssef had "repeatedly made statements which glorify the activities of Osama Bin Laden and other prominent members of al-Qaeda and which encourage others to emulate them".
A UN sanctions committee lists him as associated with al-Qaeda through the militant group Egyptian Islamic Jihad.
The Tynecastle head coach will only serve the suspension if he breaches league rule 72 again before the end of the current season.
Neilson commented after the match that Collum had been wrong to send off Hearts defender Callum Paterson.
And he said the squad had trained with 10 men to prepare for a red card.
The Scottish Football Association's compliance officer issued a notice of complaint for a breach of disciplinary rule 72, stating of Neilson that "in an interview with the BBC you criticised the performance of the Match Officials in such a way as to indicate bias or incompetence on their part".
Hearts' appeal against the notice was rejected when the disciplinary tribunal met on Thursday.
Neilson remarked after the match at New Douglas Park: "We actually practised going down to 10 men because of the environment we're coming to and the officials who are taking the game and we have to do that.
"In the recent past, the statistics involving the officials have shown a lot of red cards against us, so we have to prepare for it.
"The next time we get these officials, we will again train with 10 men."
Patterson's red card was rescinded a few days later.
"I continue to believe that Mr Trump will not be president. And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people," said Mr Obama.
Mr Trump, a billionaire businessman, is the frontrunner in the race to be his party's choice for the White House.
He has won one state primary already, and leads the polls in South Carolina, where Republicans vote on Saturday.
Speaking at the Asean economic summit in California, the president was asked by a reporter about Mr Trump.
The electorate will not pick him, said Mr Obama, because "they recognise that being president is a serious job".
"It's not hosting a talk show or a reality show, it's not promotion, it's not marketing, it's hard. It's not a matter of pandering and doing whatever will get you in the news on a given day."
Mr Trump responded by saying it was a compliment to be criticised by a president who had done so much damage to the country.
The New York hotel developer's antipathy to Mr Obama goes back a number of years - he used to demand that the president produce proof that he was born in the US.
And his election campaign has continuously made headlines, for controversial remarks and policies.
Mr Trump said he would deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, build a wall on the southern border paid for by Mexico and that Muslims should be stopped from entering the US.

22 things that Donald Trump believes
Trump and the politics of paranoia
His chief rival is Texas Senator Ted Cruz, but one of his other rivals, the big-spending former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, will be hoping for a better performance after disappointment in Iowa and New Hampshire.
On Tuesday, a tweet by Mr Bush depicting a gun engraved with his name, alongside the word "America", provoked a strong reaction online.
Within hours it had been retweeted 15,000 times and was met by outrage and parody.
US fugitive Edward Snowden told Mr Bush to delete his account.
And Piers Morgan, who used to host a primetime show on CNN and was well known for his stance against gun rights, said it was "appalling".
Mr Bush tweeted the picture after taking questions at the premises of gun maker FN Manufacturing in Columbia, South Carolina.
The Washington Post said the tweet "has the potential to boost his image among Southerners beyond South Carolina who value the 2nd Amendment and the right to bear arms".

Figures from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) show that since 2010 they have received more than 1,300 reports of smoke or fumes inside a large passenger aircraft operated by a British airline.
But is there evidence to suggest air quality on flights can pose a serious health risk? We examine the evidence.
At the altitude at which commercial jets fly, the air pressure does not allow humans to breathe independently.
To overcome this, hot compressed air is drawn from the plane's engines and, once cooled, directed into the cabin to supply breathable air - known as bleed air.
This does not pose a health risk in itself. But campaigners believe that potential faults in the engine seals can lead to heated engine oil, hydraulic fluids and harmful chemicals called organophosphates - used to lubricate the engine's metal parts - contaminating the air.
They claim this can cause negative health consequences in both the form of fume events - one-off instances where oil fumes from the engine move into the cabin - and long-term, low-level exposure from frequent flying. The only exception being the new Boeing 787, which uses "bleed-free technology".
These health effects are known to campaigners as "aerotoxic syndrome", but British airlines and the CAA maintain there is no scientific evidence that shows the condition exists.
Prof Alan Boobis, director of Public Health England's Toxicology Unit at Imperial College London, estimates fume events take place in "one in every 2,000 [British] flights". As a result, he says, studies have never been able to record one.
He adds that the information available indicates even during potential fume events, levels of air contamination "are low, and probably below those which would be affecting health in humans".
According to safety reports submitted to the CAA, there were 251 incidents of fumes or smoke in the cabin between April 2014 and May 2015.
These figures just apply to UK airlines so would not include any fume event reported by Lufthansa or Ryanair for example, even if they took place in British airspace.
Where possible, the BBC has stripped out cases which were clearly the fault of broken internal equipment like toilets and air conditioning systems.
Dr Jenny Goodman from London's Biolab Medical Unit, who has treated many crew members, says she has heard anecdotal accounts from airline staff of "old stinkies" - planes in which the cabin fills with fumes every time they start up the engine.
Although the smoke evaporates in such instances by the time passengers go on board, she explains, cabin crew are nevertheless exposed to the contamination.
Dr Goodman believes the risk for health complications is particularly great for airline staff and frequent flyers. "If you fly regularly, or fly as part of your job, you're going to have exposure to constant low-level leakage, which you may or may not be aware of," she explains.
She adds that those on long-haul flights are also more susceptible to illness, when taken regularly: "You're stuck there for hours and hours. You're breathing far more concentrated levels of these substances, and a far greater level of them."
Aviation lawyer Frank Cannon believes pilots and cabin crew are at greatest risk, and as a result of exposure to contaminated air could become unfit to fly. He believes in some instances pilots may be willing to hide cognitive dysfunction or memory deficits caused by the poor air quality for fear of losing their jobs, which puts others at risk.
In other instances, he says, pilots may not be aware of the symptoms, meaning they similarly continue to fly while unsafe to do so.
Prof Boobis says the possibility of long-term health effects from repeated exposure to fume events is an area that needs more research.
Dr Goodman says aerotoxic syndrome affects the central nervous system and brain in particular. While genetic variation means not all people suffer symptoms, the nature of the chemicals present in contaminated air means they can "dissolve in our cell membranes, get into our cells and therefore get into every system in the body".
She says this can lead to wide-ranging symptoms including migraines, fatigue, difficulty thinking, aches and pains in joints and muscles, breathing problems, digestive problems and even an increased risk of breast cancer for women. She adds that many GPs fail to see the link to frequent flying and wrongly prescribe anti-depressants.
But Prof Boobis believes levels of chemicals in the cabin following a leakage are "similar to a normal home or workplace", and do not pose a serious health risk.
He says the symptoms Dr Goodman describes may instead be the result of a "nocebo effect" - in this instance an individual's false belief that they are being harmed by a chemical after smelling an odour in the cabin, most probably from fuel.
He believes this can lead to "serious health issues" in its own right and should not be ignored. But, he adds, it should not be misconstrued as aerotoxic syndrome.
Dr Goodman and Mr Cannon say the industry must ensure filters are fitted to aircraft engines. Mr Cannon notes that there are "two or three different companies" making the filters - including one manufacturer that claims it can prevent 99.9% of the contamination.
They both believe that the principal reason the industry is reluctant to fit the filters is that doing so would be seen as a "tacit admission" that aerotoxic syndrome exists.
A report from the Committee on Toxicity in December 2013, commissioned by the Department of Transport and chaired by Prof Boobis, said there was a "continuing imperative to minimise the risk of fume incidents that give rise to symptoms", whether this be through toxicity or nocebo effects.
The CAA said in a statement: "There is no positive evidence of a link between exposure to contaminants in cabin air and possible long-term health effects - although such a link cannot be excluded."

It also confirmed that it will not introduce the controversial press control measures north of the border.
The UK government is currently considering whether to implement measures contained within Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013.
They could lead to financial repercussions for newspapers which have not signed up to an official regulator.
Newspapers would have to pay the legal costs of both sides in libel and privacy actions brought against them.
Press regulation is devolved in Scotland and Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said there were no plans to introduce the statutory measures.
But she warned that a move to enact Section 40 by the UK government could affect local and national newspapers in Scotland.
It is understood that the SNP's 54 MPs at Westminster will make a decision on whether or not to support the repeal of Section 40 once they see the UK government's proposals.
Ms Hyslop's statement on the issue came as a 10 week UK government consultation on the issue closed.
She said: "A diverse and independent media is vital to sustaining a flourishing democracy.
"Any movement by the UK government to action Section 40 must carefully consider potential threats to the health of our democratic life and to the freedom of the press."
The planned reform of press regulations followed the Leveson Inquiry, which was set up on the back of the phone-hacking scandal.
The proposals have divided opinion between those who believe the measures are "fair" and those who fear they will severely limit the scope for newspapers to conduct investigative reporting to expose corruption and wrongdoing.
Most newspapers have signed up to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso), the press-funded body which has not sought official recognition, and would therefore be faced with paying plaintiffs' costs under the Section 40 provisions.
Ms Hyslop said: "We are committed to ensuring the practices which led to the Leveson Inquiry in the first place do not happen again and we believe that all individuals should have the ability to seek redress when they feel they have been the victim of press malpractice.
"However, the context of press regulation in Scotland is quite distinct from that in England and Wales and section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act does not apply under Scots Law.
"We have not introduced statutory measures to incentivise participation in the regulatory system, as has happened in Westminster, and I can confirm we have no plans to do so.
"Despite press regulation being devolved, Scottish local and national media could be impacted by any decision to enact section 40 in England and Wales, and it is my view that the measures consulted on by the UK government would put at risk the viability of much of our independent media, particularly local newspapers, and pose a potential threat to freedom of the press."
Mohammed Saleem was stabbed by Pavlo Lapshyn in Small Heath on 29 April, less than a week after Lapshyn had arrived in the UK.
At the Old Bailey, 25-year-old Lapshyn pleaded guilty to murder, as well as plotting to cause explosions near mosques in Walsall, Tipton and Wolverhampton in June and July.
He will be sentenced on Friday.
The postgraduate student, from Dnipropetrovsk in Ukraine, was living in Birmingham while on a temporary work placement in the city when he killed Mr Saleem.
The grandfather of 22 had been attending prayers at the Small Heath mosque and was just yards away from his home when he was stabbed three times.
Later, Lapshyn planted three bombs near three mosques in the West Midlands as part of a campaign he said was motivated by racial hatred.
He was arrested almost a week after an explosion near the Kanzul Iman Masjid mosque in Tipton on 12 July.
Assistant Chief Constable Marcus Beale described Lapshyn as a "self-starter" who would have been likely to go on to commit further offences, while in the UK on a year-long visa.
"He was motivated through what he had learnt himself - he was operating alone and not part of wider group," he said.
"He is an evil and ill-informed man, he was extremely dangerous.
"His motivation was that the white man was better than anyone else."
After his initial arrest for planting the explosive device outside a mosque in Walsall, he told police: "I would like to increase racial conflict."
When asked why he had targeted the mosque he replied: "Because they are not white - and I am white."
Mr Saleem's daughter Shazia Khan said: "He did not do anything to deserve this - other than be a Muslim.
"The effect of the trial process has been very difficult for the whole family; we have not had the peace to grieve for our father, but we are hoping for closure after sentencing on Friday.
"Hopefully he will get the sentence he deserves.
"We question why he did it, the reasons he has given we can't accept, for someone to commit such a heinous murder.
"It's such a pity he's wasted his whole life for personal hatred of a particular race."
Lapshyn was on placement at software company Delcam, and his apartment above the company's offices was searched as part of police investigations.
The company's chief executive Clive Martell said staff were "deeply shocked and saddened".
Det Supt Shaun Edwards, from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit, said: "We found part-made devices in Lapshyn's room plus chemicals and bomb-making equipment, so it is clear he planned to place further devices with the intention of killing or maiming innocent members of the public.
"All three of the devices he detonated were powerful but his final attack in Tipton was the first to feature shrapnel and nails.
"He placed this near the mosque's car park with the intention of hitting worshippers as they arrived for prayers.
"Thankfully, the service had been put back an hour so the mosque was largely deserted when the bomb went off."
Mr Edwards said that during interviews Lapshyn had been keen to take credit for the attacks, although at the Old Bailey he denied endangering life in the Walsall blast. That charge is to lie on file.
Within days of the first bomb exploding in Walsall on 21 June, officers had a clear picture of what the 25-year-old looked liked after analysing footage from hundreds of CCTV cameras in the area.
West Midlands Police said the problem was finding Lapshyn as he was a "loner".
"It was local neighbourhood officers in Small Heath, asking 'do you know this man?', that got him," Mr Edwards said.
"They noticed he appeared to be wearing work clothes, and started asking the businesses - one of which was Delcam."
One of Lapshyn's tutor in the Ukraine, Viktor Laskin, said he was in "the same state of shock" he had experienced when the 25-year-old was first arrested.
Mr Laskin said: "We never did believe and don't believe now that he could have done this on his own and consciously.
"During the years of his studies, he never expressed any anti-nationalist sentiment, and so his statement that he wanted to increase racism, or whatever it is he said, came as a big surprise for us."
It comes after the latest inspection figures revealed there were more "inadequate" ones than "good".
Councils rated as "inadequate" face having children's services handed to charities or other authorities if they do not improve.
One council leader called for a review of Ofsted's inspection criteria.
The call came after fewer than a quarter of children's services inspected in the past two years were judged "good".
Only 17 out of 74 council children's services were good and none was outstanding. The other 38 across England "require improvement".
About half of councils have been inspected under new Ofsted criteria introduced two years ago. The education watchdog said the results were "not necessarily representative of the quality of services for all local authorities in the country" until reports for all the others were done.
But they suggest that councils will find it harder to satisfy inspectors than those inspected before November 2013.
Figures showed that out of the nine English regions, the South West did not have a single local authority children's services department rated "good" among seven inspections since the end of 2013. Another nine have yet to be inspected under the new criteria.
The North West and the South East each have four "inadequate" children's services, while the West Midlands and North East have three and all other regions have one.
Councils judged inadequate for 'overall effectiveness' of children's services:
Birmingham; Buckinghamshire; Coventry; Cumbria; Darlington; Doncaster; Knowsley; Lambeth; Lancashire; Leicester; Manchester; Norfolk; Rotherham; Sandwell; Slough; Somerset; Sunderland; Surrey; West Berkshire
'Re-think needed'
Prime Minister David Cameron has said failing departments have to improve within six months or they will be taken over by high-performing councils or charities.
However the Labour leader of Sandwell Council, which has had two successive "inadequate" ratings and will see commissioners sent in within a year, has called for a re-think of the inspection criteria.
Councillor Darren Cooper said: "When the figures show there are more 'inadequate' councils than 'good' ones and that none are outstanding, something is obviously wrong.
"There must be a pause for reflection and a re-think."
He said the council was working to address the criticisms made in the Ofsted reports but that officers and councillors had been given expert advice that they had improved before their last poor rating in June 2015.
But Conservative MP James Morris, whose Halesowen and Rowley Regis constituency covers part of Sandwell, said: "When protecting our most vulnerable children, we need to make sure that we have the most rigorous safeguards in place. The Ofsted report into Sandwell highlighted some very serious flaws. We need to make sure that we sort this out now, rather than looking for excuses to delay change."
The new "single inspection framework" sees inspectors judge child protection and services for looked-after children at the same time in one report. Ofsted said the harder test asked what difference services were making to children's lives.
That framework "has undoubtedly raised the bar," according to Ofsted.
"While we accept it is tough to achieve a good or better grade, children deserve no less than a good standard of support from those charged with caring and protecting them," a spokesman for organisation said.
"Inspectors have seen examples of good and outstanding practice in several local authorities and this is reflected in their overall inspection outcome."
In a statement, the Department for Education vowed "to take tough action where councils are failing children" highlighting "over 30 securing real improvement as a direct result of our intervention since 2010".
It continued: "We must now go further... We will also be partnering with the best local authorities, investing £100m in innovative support to local authorities, as well as investing £100m in fast track social work training."
Children's homes improve
Ofsted inspected 959 children's homes between April and September 2015 and found 71% were good or better, an improvement of 13 percentage points on the year before.
But of the 71 homes previously inspected as "outstanding", 29 of them declined to "good", two declined to "requires improvement" and one declined to "inadequate".
The figures showed the South West had the largest number of "inadequate" rated children's homes, 14 in total.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial proposal had split the cabinet, with 13 voting for and seven against.
The cabinet also backed a bill requiring any peace deal with the Palestinians to be put to a referendum.
Palestinian sources have suggested peace talks, stalled since 2010, could restart next week.
Some 104 long-term Palestinian prisoners will be released in four stages over a number of months, linked to progress in the peace process.
In addition to the votes for and against in cabinet, there were two abstentions, a government official said. One source told Associated Press that two ministers from Mr Netanyahu's Likud Party voted no.
Some of the prisoners have carried out militant attacks that claimed Israeli lives and were jailed for up to 30 years.
Sunday's cabinet meeting was delayed by an hour as Mr Netanyahu sought support.
"This moment is not easy for me, is not easy for the cabinet ministers, and is not easy especially for the bereaved families, whose feelings I understand," Mr Netanyahu said shortly before the meeting.
"But there are moments in which tough decisions must be made for the good of the nation and this is one of those moments."
Ahead of the meeting, Deputy Defence Minister Danny Danon condemned the proposal, telling Israel Radio: "This is a political mistake, it is an ethical mistake. The message we are sending the terrorists is that we eventually free them as heroes."
But Kadoura Fares, the head of a Palestinian advocacy group for prisoners, said that there would be "no negotiations unless they are all released".
The bill on a referendum is seen as a conciliatory gesture to right-wing members of the government who are wary of concessions Israel might have to make during peace process negotiations.
A statement from Mr Netanyahu's office said that it was "important that on such historic decisions every citizen should vote directly".
"Any agreement which may be reached in negotiations will be put to a referendum," the office said.
The Israeli government will seek "urgent and important" approval for the bill, asking parliament to fast-track its passage.
It has been suggested by Palestinian sources, although not confirmed officially, that peace talks could start again in the US next week.
US Secretary of State John Kerry announced on 19 July that the talks would begin "in the next week or so".
He said the parties had "reached an agreement that establishes a basis for resuming direct final status negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis".
The Palestinians have insisted Israel recognise pre-1967 ceasefire lines as borders of a Palestinian state, subject to some negotiation, before any talks commence, but this is something that has been opposed by right-wing members of Mr Netanyahu's coalition.
The issue of settlement-building halted the last direct talks in September 2010.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said he will also put any peace deal to a referendum.
The leaders of 17 national anti-doping organisations met at a special summit in Copenhagen this week.
The group says the fight for clean sport is now "at a crossroads".
Damning reports into Russian state-sponsored doping, which led to a partial Rio Olympics ban, have shaken the anti-doping community.
The country has been given a blanket ban from competing at the Rio Paralympics, which start on 7 September.
Among the range of reforms agreed was a demand that Wada becomes more independent.
Under the proposals, Wada executives would not be be able to simultaneously hold a policy-making position within another sports organisation.
Wada president Sir Craig Reedie has been a vice-president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), leading to criticism of a potential conflict of interest.
UK Anti-Doping chief executive Nicole Sapstead said: "Now is the time for the entire sporting community to come together to find a way forward and ensure that the right processes, funding and safeguards are in place to protect everyone's right to clean, fair and honest competition."
The IOC controversially resisted Wada's call for Russia to be banned from this month's Rio Games, but the saga deeply divided the Olympic community.
Most Russian track and field athletes were banned from competing, while all Russian competitors are barred from the Paralympics.
More than 100 are appealing against the International Paralympic Committee's decision.
"We recognise we are at a crossroads in the fight for clean sport," the leaders of the national anti-doping organisations (Nado) said in a joint statement.
"With the best interests of clean athletes at heart, we have come together to discuss reforms that we believe will better protect them, restore confidence in the global anti-doping effort that has been deeply damaged, and ensure that the disturbing events of recent years are not repeated."
The news comes at a key moment in the fierce debate over the future of Wada, which is jointly funded by the IOC and governments.
The IOC has convened a meeting later this year to discuss changes to the anti-doping regime.
Its president Thomas Bach was critical of Wada's handling of the Russia scandal, suggesting it should have acted quicker on evidence given to it.
The Nado leaders also backed calls for a public commitment from the IOC and Russia to assist in guaranteeing the safety, security and well-being of whistle-blowers Yuliya Stepanova and her husband Vitaly Stepanov, "without whom the state‐supported system of doping would likely never have been exposed".
Athlete Stepanova, 30, is in hiding with her family and has said she "fears for her life".
The proposals were written and endorsed by anti-doping leaders from Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Singapore, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as the Institute of National Anti-Doping Organizations (iNado).
An inquest was halted in October when coroner Alan Wilson referred the boy's death in 2014 at the vicarage in Freckleton, Lancashire to prosecutors.
A doctor had told the hearing Jonathan could have survived with resuscitation.
The Rev James Percival and his daughter Ruth were initially held on suspicion of murder but no charges were brought.
Ms Percival, 30, gave birth in a bathroom at the vicarage and her 66-year-old father, then vicar of Holy Trinity CE Church, helped her.
He told police the baby appeared "sallow and lifeless" and he believed the infant was "obviously deceased".
However, Blackpool Coroner's Court was told the boy could have survived up to 15 minutes after delivery on 25 November 2014.
Consultant neonatologist Dr Ruth Gottstein told the inquest that when babies are born with the umbilical cord around their neck, there is an 80% survival rate following resuscitation.
As well as being initially arrested on suspicion of his murder, both Mr Percival and his daughter were held on suspicion of conspiring to conceal the birth of a child.
The baby was not seen by a medical professional for about two hours and was left alone in the house wrapped in a towel on a sofa as the pair visited their GP, the inquest was told.
In a statement, the CPS said: "There remains insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for a criminal prosecution.
"The CPS has written to the coroner to explain the decision and to confirm the inquest can now be continued."
The actor and comedian previously hosted the 77th annual Academy Awards in 2005, when the reception to his opening monologue and some controversial jokes was mixed.
"I'm so glad to be hosting the Oscars," Rock said. "It's great to be back."
The 88th Oscars will be held on Sunday 28 February, 2016.
Last year's ceremony, hosted by television and Broadway star Neil Patrick Harris, had the lowest Oscar ratings for six years, and were down 16% on the previous year, when Ellen DeGeneres had been at the helm.
"Chris Rock is truly the MVP of the entertainment industry," said Hill and Hudlin. "Comedian, actor, writer, producer, director, documentarian - he's done it all. He's going to be a phenomenal Oscar host. "
"We share David and Reggie's excitement in welcoming Chris, whose comedic voice has really defined a generation," said Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs. "He is certain to bring his amazing array of talents to this year's show."
In 2005 - the year that Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby won best picture - Rock received a standing ovation before uttering a word and began by ordering the assembled A-listers to "sit your asses down".
But as the LA Times recalls, Rock's performance was met with a range of reactions. USA Today described him "one of the worst hosts ever" while critic Roger Ebert praised a "home run" opening monologue that was "not shy of controversy".
Rock's recent film roles include I Think I Love My Wife, Head of State, Death at a Funeral and and the first three films in the blockbuster Madagascar series, as the voice of Marty.
In 2009 he wrote, produced and presented the documentary Good Hair.
On TV, he created the series Everybody Hates Chris, which ran from 2005 to 2009. He most recently directed the TV comedy special Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo, which premiered this month on HBO.
Scotland bore the brunt of the bad weather with hundreds of homes evacuated in the Borders towns of Dumfries, Hawick and Peebles.
Hundreds of homes are without power in Yorkshire. Two severe flood warnings are in place in Scotland and dozens of flood warnings remain in place UK-wide.
Experts said the worst of the rain had passed but more flooding was likely.
In Dumfries and Galloway, the River Nith has burst its banks causing flooding in the town of Dumfries. A severe flood warning, indicating danger to life, has been issued for the Whitesands area. The villages of Moffat and Carsphairn have been cut off and fire crews have been rescuing people from properties by boat.
The River Tweed in Peebles also has a severe flood warning in place and more than 300 homes have been evacuated in Hawick.
Emergency services responded to reports of a missing kayaker on the River Findhorn in Moray, while in south Ayrshire 12 passengers had to be airlifted from a bus stuck in flood water near to Dailly Cemetery.
More than 100 people evacuated from their homes in Ballater in Aberdeenshire are spending the night at Victoria Barracks which are usually used to house security personnel who guard the Queen when she stays at nearby Balmoral Castle.
In Northern Ireland, thousands of homes have experienced power cuts, air passengers were delayed and fallen trees caused problems on the roads.

In Devon, a delivery driver smashed through the window of a car to save the lives of two elderly people trapped in rising floodwater in Sparkwell, Devon.
Meanwhile, in North Yorkshire, soldiers evacuated homes near a bridge in Tadcaster after it collapsed on Tuesday evening, prompting fears of flooding and a possible gas explosion.
The town's 18th-century stone bridge over River Wharf collapsed on Tuesday, causing a nearby gas pipe to rupture.
Richard Sweeting, a member of the town council, said the community was finding it difficult to manage.
"The impact has been absolutely terrible because it's divided Tadcaster east and west. The bridge was the main thoroughfare to connect the whole town. The people in the west cannot get to the medical centre or to our supermarket," he said.

In Croston, which was hit by floods on Boxing Day, an RAF Chinook helicopter delivered 400 tonnes of sandbags on Tuesday in a bid to shore up the nearby River Douglas in preparation for Wednesday's storm.
Meanwhile, police in York said it was "extremely disappointing" that thieves had broken into homes submerged in flood water. They said dry goods had reportedly been stolen from outside homes, tools taken from sheds and a back door forced open.
North Yorkshire Police's acting Supt Mark Grange said: "It is impossible to comprehend why anyone would want to bring further suffering to those who are already in a very vulnerable situation."
Environment Agency head Sir Philip Dilley returned to the UK after cutting short his family holiday in Barbados to visit some of the flood-hit communities.
He said he had been "in very close contact" with senior agency staff throughout his Christmas break.
"Everybody can't be everywhere at the same time," he said, when asked about his whereabouts during the floods.
"I think we've been very effective and efficient in what we've been doing. There's obviously some lessons to learn."
On Tuesday, Communities Secretary Greg Clark announced £50m extra funding to help households and businesses affected by flooding in northern England. The government says it has now pledged more than £100m.

The team looked at adolescents who were generally more impulsive than their peers - a trait sometimes linked to the misuse of drugs.
They found teenagers who had a particular pattern of activity on brain scans were more likely to misuse drugs.
The early work appears in the journal Nature Communications.
Scientists asked 144 adolescents who had not previously used recreational drugs to fill in questionnaires and take part in behavioural tests to assess how impulsive they were and how attracted they were to trying new things.
Researchers then conducted a range of brain scans, while asking the adolescents to carry out tasks that could win them cash prizes at the same time.
The tests were designed to look at how particular parts of the brain responded to the prospect of getting a reward.
They found those teenagers who had less nerve activity in these brain areas during these tasks, were more likely to have drug problems two years later.
One theory behind this, the scientists say, is that teenagers who are more likely to take drugs have less motivation for traditional rewards like money, and more for less conventional rewards.
Prof Brian Knutson, at Stanford University, says he hopes with more work, these types of tests could help identify vulnerable teenagers who could be offered help before problems arise.
Meanwhile Prof Derek Hill, of University College London, said the study was "interesting" with carefully collected and analysed data.
But he cautioned that the methods used in the study were still experimental.
He added: "It is therefore important that results like this are replicated in separate studies before the results in this paper should be used to change the way these young people are diagnosed and treated."
And now the Commons Health Select Committee says a similar policy in England would help to cut sugar consumption at least in the short term.
The government has consistently been opposed to introducing such a tax, and the drinks industry say poorest families will be hit the hardest.
But Tory MP Dr Sarah Wollaston, who chairs the cross-party committee, says it could cut rates of child obesity.
Currently, one in three primary school leavers are overweight or obese.
In October, Public Health England recommended:
On social media, there has been overwhelming criticism of the idea. And this is reflected in emails received by the BBC.
Helen Attwood said: "I have had type-1 diabetes for 36 years.
"Type 1 is not linked to lifestyle choices and is an autoimmune disease.
"I have to buy sugar regularly, and sugary drinks in particular are great at treating hypo[glycemia]s - one of the issues associated with this disease.
"It doesn't seem fair that I have to pay more to treat a medical condition which I ended up with through no fault of my own. "
But there was also some cautious support for the proposed sugar tax.
One anonymous emailer to the BBC said: "I agree something must be done.
"The school attended by my grandchildren has machines selling cans of fizzy drinks, crisps et cetera.
"It would be a good start if that stopped.
"The answer is not just banning things, it is educating young people.
"The more you ban them, the more they will want them."

Gerrard, 34, won his first cap in a 2-0 win over Ukraine in 2000 and made his last England appearance in a 0-0 draw with Costa Rica at the 2014 World Cup.
The Liverpool midfielder said: "I have enjoyed every minute of representing my country. It's a sad day for me."
Gerrard will now take on a "high profile" ambassadorial role with the Football Association.
He retires from international duty having scored 21 goals and played at six major tournaments. He ranks third on England's most-capped player list behind only Peter Shilton (125) and David Beckham (115).
Gerrard skippered England at this summer's World Cup in Brazil, however it was to end in disappointment for Roy Hodgson's team after they exited the tournament bottom of the group and without a victory.
"It was a very difficult decision to make," said Gerrard. "It's something I have been contemplating for a long time, not just since the end of the World Cup.
"I've had to take an awful lot of advice from people who are close to me - players that I still play with, ex-players who I played with a long time ago, managers who I played for years ago.
"It's been a really tough decision, certainly one of the toughest since I turned professional at 18."
England manager Hodgson said: "While I'm disappointed, I can entirely understand Steven's situation and can have no complaints given the incredible service he has given to his country."
Gerrard will continue his club career with Liverpool, for whom he made his debut in 1998 against Blackburn Rovers.
He has spent his entire career at Anfield - winning the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.
"To ask my body now, the way it is and what it has been through, to play international and domestic football was too much of an ask," he added.
"I've made my decision on my age, on my body and being fair to Liverpool, especially with having the Champions League back - that was a huge factor."
Gerrard's first tournament as an England player was Euro 2000, and he went on to play in two more European Championships, in 2004 and 2012.
After missing the 2002 World Cup through injury, he played in three others, his first in Germany 2006, then as captain for both South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014.
Former England striker and BBC Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker led the tributes to the midfielder, tweeting: "Steven Gerrard has retired from international football. He's been a wonderful servant to his country. A great player who always gave all."
Ex-England and Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, who played alongside Gerrard, tweeted: "Good decision by Steven Gerrard, 114 caps - great servant for England."
BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty said: "Gerrard said he was 'broken' by England's exit from the World Cup after only two games and he was never going to be involved in Euro 2016.
"He had, by his own standards, a disappointing campaign in Brazil and it was clear his influence at this level was wavering."
We have some great role models now and we are going to take advantage of the upturn in participation
He said that view was "narrow-minded", adding: "There are over 40,000 people who play curling in Scotland."
Britain won four medals in Sochi.
Lizzy Yarnold took gold in the skeleton, the men's and women's curlers claimed silver and bronze respectively, while snowboard slopestyler Jenny Jones pocketed a bronze.
"We have some great role models now and we are going to take advantage of the upturn in participation," said Hay.
He also highlighted the ease of access to curling facilities in Scotland, but conceded that is not matched in other parts of the United Kingdom.
"There are 30 ice rinks in Scotland - 15 of them dedicated to curling and the rest being multi-sport - but we have a problem in England," Hay told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We have the ice rinks but we do need the facility there in terms of the stones and the ice-making equipment."
Jones, who became GB's first ever medal-winner on snow, insisted her sport was "more accessible than a lot of people think".
"There are a lot of folks up in Scotland that can go and ride up in the mountains and there are loads of indoor and dry slopes I would encourage people to go to," said Jones, who learnt to ski on a dry slope near Bristol and funded her early career by working as a chalet maid.
Chef de Mission Jon Doig, speaking 12 months before the Games get under way, said the 2006 Melbourne Games would act as the "benchmark".
Scotland won 29 medals in Melbourne and Doig hopes to eclipse that number.
"We're looking for that best-ever overseas performance," Doig told BBC Radio Scotland.
Doig says the Scots involved will relish the prospect of competing at the Gold Coast Games.
"There's been a bit of a change for the programme from Glasgow (2014) which makes it a bit more challenging for us with Judo being out," he added.
"We've got some great sports like beach volleyball and basketball in there. There are also some other changes, we've now got equality in the middle programme between male and female. And, of course, we've got the para sports as well.
"We're really looking forward to it; things are on track and the selection period is open for us. We've got some great performances already starting to happen.
"We're looking for that best-ever overseas performance. Melbourne is a really good benchmark for us because it was nearly the same programme and the same time of year, and challenges and preparation.
"So, that's our first benchmark and, once we get past that particular point, then we'll be looking for other performances to come in and then go past that point."
Lynne Beattie, who captained the British volleyball team at the London Olympics, is hoping to qualify for the Gold Coast with partner Melissa Coutts after making the switch to beach volleyball, which will be played for first time at a Commonwealth Games.
"I represented Team GB at London 2012, so now to have the opportunity to represent Team Scotland in the Gold Coast is an absolutely massive opportunity not just for us as a team but our sport as well," she said.
The pair have just returned from competing in their first world tour event in Sydney, where they finished ninth.
"There are a couple of routes to quality for the Games and one of those is a top-four world ranking by September and the other is a one-off continental tournament in September," Beattie added.
"The winner of that would then go in and we are trying to keep our options open.
"We are really optimistic and our training is going really well." | The UK will no longer be under the "direct jurisdiction" of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) after Brexit, a government policy paper will say.

Lavinia Woodward, 24, attacked the man at Christ Church college, while she was under the influence of drink and drugs.
At Oxford Crown Court, Judge Ian Pringle QC said the "extraordinary" student might avoid a jail sentence as it would affect her career prospects.
But the university said the suggestion Woodward would return to her studies was "the judge's not the college's".
A spokesperson said there was "no guarantee" Woodward would be allowed back.
The BBC understands the medical student had previously been warned about her drug use and told she could be expelled if it continued.
Judge Pringle said he believed the attack was "a complete one-off".
"To prevent this extraordinary, able young lady from following her long-held desire to enter the profession she wishes to, would be a sentence which would be too severe," he said at a hearing on 12 May.
"What you did will never, I know, leave you, but it was pretty awful, and normally it would attract a custodial sentence."
The university spokesperson said: "A decision on continuing study will always take full account of the health, wellbeing and best interests of both the student and the wider student community.
"No-one outside of the college and university can guarantee the right of a return to study. No final decision has been reached or guarantee made."
During the attack on her ex-boyfriend, a Cambridge University student, Woodward thumped him, lunged at him with a bread knife and stabbed him in the leg.
She admitted inflicting grievous body harm and will be sentenced on 25 September.

In truth it has all happened so quickly - little more than a year from the germ of an idea to Elysian omnipotence - that the country feels slightly dazed.
People are looking at their new leader, and many more than voted for him are honestly impressed by his calibre. But many are also wondering: so where do we go from here?
For there is an unknown aspect to the coming mandate that sets it apart from all that went before.
It is not just the newness of it all: the fact that President Macron's party didn't exist until he dreamed it up, and that half of the new parliamentarians will need lessons (literally) in how to do their jobs.
And that never before - at least not since Charles de Gaulle in 1958 - has a head of state had such a powerful majority, made up of men and women who depend on him so personally for their new careers.
And that the opposition has been reduced to a rump, thanks to the dégagiste (kick 'em out) imperative that wipes out sitting MPs in droves.
It is also that at heart Emmanuel Macron himself remains something of an enigma.
When he was 22, and already a precocious high-flier, the president spent several months as the amanuensis of one of France's then most respected philosophers, Paul Ricoeur.
The name will mean little to most people, but according to the experts, one of the key elements of Ricoeurian philosophy is the "ability to think at the same time two ideas that are apparently opposed".
For example - in a political context - that could mean supporting the freeing up of the labour market and protecting the most vulnerable. Or slimming down the state and ensuring that France's social contract remains intact.
The heart of the philosophy is a generous one: the recognition that neither side in an argument holds a monopoly of the truth, and that the best policies are ones that combine some elements of both.
Macron's adherence to this scheme of thought was most obvious in the pre-presidential debates, when his use of the phrase "au même temps" (at the same time) was much noted upon - implying as it did a constant bid to reconcile apparently contradictory ideas.
All this is very well - and his sincere desire to bring together left and right no doubt contributed greatly to his success.
But the enigma is this: when it comes to acting, rather than talking, which way will the president jump?
After all, the problems he will face in the coming months will be the classic ones that face all democratic leaders. Should I give way to demonstrators? Or should I use force to enact my manifesto? How do I balance the budget? Which is worse, a massive deficit or cuts in social spending?
Or on another current issue: should I give way to the human rights lobby and provide accommodation to the new Calais refugees? Or should I be hard-headed and turn them away, because housing them only encourages more?
On these and a host of other questions, no-one really knows the president's thinking.
He has promised to leave the old left and right behind, but maybe the old left and right don't want to go away. And maybe not everything is reconcilable by his magnificent Elysian fiat.
What we have seen so far is an object lesson in how to win power, carried out by a truly remarkable individual, who is half Machiavelli, and half Cary Grant. But that story is over now. Let the new story begin.
The rise in operating profits compared with £439m for the previous year.
British Gas said gas usage rose by 5% despite the warmest December on record, as 2015 had more normal temperatures compared with a very mild 2014.
However, profits at its parent company, Centrica, fell by 12% to £1.46bn as wholesale gas prices fell sharply.
Energy suppliers have been under pressure to pass on savings to customers after significant falls in wholesale gas prices in the past year.
Centrica's chief executive, Iain Conn, stressed that the rise in profits at British Gas was not because of the fall in commodity prices and that the drop in wholesale costs had been passed on to customers.
"The reason the profits went up in 2015 versus 2014 actually is very simple - it's about the weather and about consumption," he told the BBC.
"We saw a very mild 2014 and we saw a more normal 2015 and therefore the amount of energy that our customers used went up and therefore the actual total profit went up."
He added that the wholesale costs were only part of the cost of a bill.
With the energy sector in the midst of major competition probe, it's an awkward time for a big six supplier to be posting bumper results.
But British Gas says its profits are simply returning to more normal levels, having fallen back in 2014 due to warmer weather.
There's two main reasons why they've risen.
The first is that customers used 5% more gas.
The second is that British Gas's costs - linked to the government's ECO energy efficiency programme - were lower compared to the previous year.
But Iain Conn, Centrica's boss, told me that falls in wholesale gas prices had been passed on in full.
And he added that if wholesale prices remain low, there may be room for further price reductions this year.
The average annual British Gas profit has been £584m in recent years, Mr Conn said on a conference call.
Asked about the Brexit issue, he said that the UK was "better off inside" the European Union given the country's reliance on gas imports from the bloc and Norway.
That meant European gas prices were a "big issue" for the UK and it was difficult to see how Britain could influence EU energy policy by not being an EU member, he said.
Last week British Gas - the UK's largest energy supplier - said it was cutting gas prices by 5.1%, the last of the big six energy suppliers to do so.
E.On, EDF, SSE, Scottish Power and Npower have all cut gas prices by similar amounts.
The Competition and Markets Authority has been conducting a wide-ranging investigation into the UK's energy suppliers since last summer.
It estimates that consumers overpaid by £1.2bn a year between 2009 and 2013.
Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy at uSwitch.com, said: "British Gas has cut standard gas prices three times in the last past year, but it should now go further and reduce electricity bills too."
However, Mr Conn said that the wholesale cost of electricity accounted for only 40% of customers' bills and that other costs, such as distribution and government levies continued to rise.
Last year British Gas made a profit of £55 per customer after tax, he said on a conference call, which was in the middle of its £42 to £65 average range.
David Hunter, energy analyst at Schneider Electric, said the higher profits for British Gas would put the company under more pressure.
"With prices slashed by only 5%, standard tariffs are barely more competitive than they were, and still a long way off the fall in wholesale prices. With these tariffs still up to £450 a year more expensive than the best deals, consumers are being left out of pocket," he said.
As well as selling energy through British Gas, Centrica is also a major producer of natural gas and oil. Following the slide in prices for natural resources, the company is reducing its exploration and production activities.
Steve Clayton, head of equity research at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Centrica invested £9bn in its upstream gas and power operations between 2007 and 2014. This left the group very exposed to falling oil and gas prices."
Centrica has written down the value of its oil and gas assets and power stations by £2.4bn.
Those charges contributed to a statutory operating loss of £857m, although that was lower than the £1.137bn for 2014.
Centrica shares, which have fallen by about a quarter in the past 12 months, closed up 6.85%, making the stock the biggest riser on the FTSE 100.
The company confirmed that the full-year dividend would be 12p a share, down from 13.5p for 2014, in a blow to its millions of shareholders.
Earlier this month, British Gas announced 500 job cuts, mostly in its energy efficiency business.
The retired police general pleaded guilty to links with the United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia (AUC).
The group is accused of mass killings in Colombia and is on the US list of terrorist organisations.
Gen Santoyo was also fined $125,000 (£74,400).
From 2002 to 2005, Gen Santoyo served as security chief for then-President Uribe.
Another close aide of the former president, Mario Uribe, was found guilty last year of having links with the AUC.
But Alvaro Uribe denies any link with the organisation, which led a campaign against left-wing rebels and people suspected of collaborating with them.
Gen Santoyo handed himself to the US authorities in July.
In his plea agreement, he said he took bribes from the AUC from 2001 to 2008 in exchange for tipping them off ahead of police operations against them.
Some of the operations also involved US drug enforcement agents.
Gen Santoyo initially rejected the charges of conspiring to smuggle drugs into the US, but eventually pleaded guilty.
The Eastern District Court of Virginia, in Alexandria, ruled that he must pay $125,000 for the drug smuggling charges.
As part of a 2003 peace deal brokered by Alvaro Uribe's government, most paramilitary leaders surrendered and demobilised tens of thousands of their men in exchange for reduced jail terms and protection from extradition.
The men, aged 22, 24 and 27, are due to appear before court in Newtownards on Thursday.
A man in his 20s was hurt by a gang with baseball bats and screwdrivers during the attack on Monday.
It happened at Bartley's Wood, Ballywalter.
The man was treated for injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening.
Earlier on Wednesday, a 33-year-old man appeared at Newtownards Magistrates' Court, charged with grievous bodily harm with intent, common assault and aggravated burglary.
Two women in their 20s were in the property at the time of the attack on Monday and one of them sustained minor injuries.
The DUP's David Simpson made the allegations during his victory speech on Friday morning, after he was re-elected as MP for Upper Bann.
UUP leader Mike Nesbitt has said he takes the allegations "most seriously" but asked the MP to "name names".
Mr Nesbitt has promised to take action but said "first I need the evidence".
The News Letter has reported that the alleged abuse took the form of racist comments on social media targeted at Mr Simpson's adopted adult children, who are originally from Paraguay and India.
During his victory speech, Mr Simpson challenged hecklers at the election count in Banbridge leisure centre.
Thanking his wife and three children, the DUP MP said there had been a "despicable attack on my family over the past seven weeks, absolutely disgraceful".
He added: "I haven't done this in 18 years in frontline politics and standing here, I call it pathetic, what was done on my family over the past seven weeks. You should be ashamed of yourselves."
Speaking about the issue on BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Politics at the weekend, the UUP leader told the programme he intended to contact Mr Simpson.
"You know I have a zero tolerance attitude towards something like that, but these are allegations and he will need to name names, at least privately to me, and he'll discover, I'll not be found wanting."
In an open letter to Mr Simpson on Sunday, Mr Nesbitt congratulated the DUP MP on his re-election but sought "clarification" on the allegations.
"If any member of the Ulster Unionist Party has indeed acted in the manner you appear to allege, I assure you I shall not be found wanting in my reaction, but first I need the evidence," Mr Nesbitt wrote.
The United States has given significant military and economic assistance to Egypt during the past four decades.
The country has been seen as a key factor in regional stability.
One estimate has it that the US has provided Egypt with $76bn (£50bn) in foreign aid between 1948 and 2015.
This includes $1.3bn a year in military aid from 1987 to the present.
This pattern of support was temporarily halted after President Sisi overthrew the democratically elected leader, Mohammed Morsi, in 2013.
In October of that year, the US administration announced it would withhold the delivery of military equipment - F16s, Apache helicopters, Harpoon missiles and tanks, subject to credible progress towards democracy.
There was a change in posture last year, when Apache helicopters were sanctioned for delivery to Egypt to help the country's counter-terrorism operations in Sinai.
And a few weeks ago, US President Barack Obama announced 12 F16s, 20 Harpoon missiles and up to 125 M-1 Abrams tank upgrades were earmarked for delivery to the Egyptians in the interests of national security.
At the same time, Mr Obama reiterated ongoing US concerns about "Egypt's continued imprisonment of non-violent activists and mass trials".
America is not alone though in returning to business as usual.
France has this year negotiated a $5bn arms deal with Egypt, involving the sale of fighter jets and a naval frigate.
Last year, France sold Egypt four naval frigates in a deal estimated to be worth $1.3bn.
In September last year, Russia announced it had reached a $3.5bn arms deal with Egypt.
No precise details were given, but the agreement forms part of a picture of improving Russian-Egyptian relations, with increased economic and military cooperation.
In February of this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Egypt and promised help in constructing a nuclear power plant.
Egypt also receives considerable financial support from Gulf Cooperation Council countries - at least $20bn in the past year and a half, according to some reports.
A conference last month led to billions of dollars in investment commitments.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Oman pledged more than $12bn.
In some ways, none of this should be surprising.
Egypt has always been an important country in the Middle East, seen by some as a powerful and balancing voice in the Arab world.
Its position in the region, is seen as critical to wider peace between Arab states and Israel.
It controls the Suez Canal, through which almost a 10th of all global shipping passes every year.
It is by far the largest Arab nation, with a population of 83 million expected to exceed 100 million by 2030.
Half the population is under 25.
The country is home to the Arab League and is a leading light in Islamic scholarship.
Yet it has also been a battleground between moderate and radical Islam.
And the role of Egyptian extremists in al-Qaeda and other such movements is significant and considerable.
Mohammed Atta, the ringleader of the 9/11 attacks on the US, was Egyptian, as is Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of al-Qaeda.
And last but not least, Egypt forms, with Saudi Arabia, an axis of Sunni Muslim political power in the Middle East.
Egypt has been crucial in America's calculations in the Middle East.
But some commentators say it is not as important now as it once was and that countries such as Jordan and the UAE are more significant US allies now.
Indeed, Egypt's closeness to America is not that long established.
During the 1950s and 1960s, America was suspicious of Egypt - US views were coloured by the Cold War, Arab nationalism, and the more important strategic relationship with Israel.
The Americans were suspicious too of the Egyptian leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser.
As a result, Egypt turned to the Soviet Union for friendship and military support.
When Nasser died in 1970, the new Egyptian leader, Anwar Sadat, worked to move Egypt closer to the US, culminating in the signing of the Camp David accords in 1978 and the eventual 1979 peace treaty with Israel.
This closeness continued under Hosni Mubarak, who was seen until the very end as a useful ally.
Realpolitik, say some, suggests a new US accommodation with Egypt in a bid to restore stability in a war-torn region.
This realpolitik though is precisely what irks critics of President Sisi.
The country's jails are overflowing.
The Muslim Brotherhood is once again outlawed.
Its political party, the Freedom and Justice Party, has been dissolved by court order.
The Egyptian authorities have declared the Brotherhood itself a terrorist organisation.
Many of its leaders are in jail.
Mohammed Badie, head of the Brotherhood, has been sentenced to death.
Mohammed Morsi, the elected Islamist leader, overthrown by the army two years ago, has just been given a 20-year jail sentence for ordering the arrests and torture of protesters demonstrating against his rule.
Not many Egyptians shed tears over the fate of the Brotherhood.
It did not have overwhelming public support, and many Egyptians saw it as abusing a weak electoral mandate during its short time running the country.
But it was nevertheless a democratically elected government, one that was removed by force.
And now it is not just the Muslim Brotherhood that finds itself under siege.
The press is rigidly policed, and many organisations at the heart of civil society are no longer functioning.
These conditions in many ways mirror those that led directly to the uprisings known as the Arab Spring, and it is this that worries those hoping for progress and peace in Egypt and the wider region.
MPs will vote on Monday on a UK government plan to renew the ageing weapons system.
It is opposed by the SNP, Plaid Cymru and some Labour MPs.
Tory MP David Davies said discussions on Trident cannot be put on hold while Labour "sort themselves out".
In Wales, the Pontypridd MP and Labour leadership contender Owen Smith has said he would vote to support the renewal of Trident, which is based on the Clyde in Scotland.
This puts him at odds with the current party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Mr Flynn has previously called Trident a "sinful waste of money".
Renewing the weapons would cost billions of pounds.
Mr Flynn told BBC Wales: "This is a crude political stunt designed to expose divisions in the Labour Party.
"This is not about retaining an expensive but unusable virility symbol. It's about posturing and playing party political games.
"Labour's free vote will avoid political damage."
But David Davies, Conservative MP for Monmouth, said: "We have been talking about Trident for ages. We are going to have to have a vote on it at some point.
"The Labour party has had internal problems for what seems to be quite some time. They show no sign of ending any time soon.
"We can't put the discussion about the nation's defences on hold while we wait for the Labour party to sort themselves out."
The SNP has said that the Trident renewal plans "need more scrutiny".
The party's Westminster group leader Angus Robertson said "neither the Tories nor Labour are in any fit state to be giving proper scrutiny to decisions as important as this."
A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said: "The UK's independent nuclear deterrent is the ultimate guarantee of our nation's safety which is why the government is committed to maintaining it.
"We estimate costs will amount to around 0.2% per year of government spending - a small price to pay to ensure the security of British citizens."
The Met Police called it a "positive result" and has offered a £20,000 reward to find those responsible.
Stephen's father, Neville Lawrence, appealed for witnesses to come forward on Monday's programme.
The reconstruction aired on the eve of what would have been Stephen's 42nd birthday.
Mr Lawrence was stabbed to death in an unprovoked racist assault on 22 April 1993 as he waited at a bus stop in Eltham, south-east London with a friend.
Gary Dobson and David Norris were jailed for life in January 2012 after being found guilty of being involved in the attack, but detectives have always maintained others were involved.
Lead investigator Chris Le Pere said: "Given the length of time this inquiry has been running, I am happy with the positive result.
"Some of the calls hold significant information and will take time to work through."
The Met also revealed on Monday that a handbag strap found at the scene of Stephen Lawrence's murder may have been part of a homemade weapon used by his killers.
The strap was recovered a few metres away from the south-east London bus stop where the 18 year old was attacked by six white men in August 1993.
Detectives discounted the strap for years because it was mistakenly logged as being found 80 metres away.
The DNA of an unknown woman has been found on the bag strap, the Met said.
Detectives believe the DNA is that of the main user of the bag and are attempting to trace her, although they are not linking the woman with the murder directly.
They now want to find who owned the bag from which the strap came and discover why it was at the murder scene.
Police are also trying to trace a man reportedly seen in a distinctive green jacket with a V emblem near Well Hall Road roundabout at about the time Mr Lawrence was attacked.
CCTV footage, recently digitally enhanced, showed the man in a nearby off-licence hours before the murder took place.
In a sketch by a police artist, based on their accounts, the wearer of the jacket has light reddish hair. However the man in the CCTV pictures is dark-haired.
Police believe the man could be a witness.
He called on the international community to recognise Israeli sovereignty.
Israel seized the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967's Six-Day War.
Israel annexed the region in 1981 but the move has not been internationally recognised. Syria demands its return.
Mr Netanyahu said at the start of the cabinet meeting: "I chose to have this festive cabinet meeting on the Golan Heights to send a clear message: the Golan Heights will forever remain in Israeli hands.
"It's time, after 50 years, that the international community finally recognises that the Golan will forever remain under Israeli sovereignty."
Commentators say the statement comes amid reports the return of the Golan Heights could be part of negotiations for a post-civil war Syria.
But Mr Netanyahu said: "Whatever is beyond the border, the boundary itself will not change."
There are more than 30 Jewish settlements on the heights, with an estimated 20,000 settlers.
Israel has avoided any major involvement in Syria's conflict but fears any increased presence in Syria of Hezbollah fighters, Sunni militant groups or Iranian troops.
Mr Netanyahu said he had told US Secretary of State John Kerry that Israel would "not oppose a diplomatic settlement in Syria, on condition that it not come at the expense of the security of the state of Israel".
That meant "at the end of the day, the forces of Iran, Hezbollah and [so-called Islamic State] will be removed from Syrian soil."
More than 250,000 Syrians have lost their lives in five years of armed conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a full-scale civil war.
More than 11 million others have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other - as well as jihadist militants from so-called Islamic State.
People with AB blood, found in 4% of the population, appear more likely to develop thinking and memory problems than those with other blood groups.
The study, published in Neurology, builds on previous research showing blood type may influence heart risk.
A charity said the best way to keep the brain healthy was a balanced diet, regular exercise and not smoking.
A US team led by Dr Mary Cushman, of the University of Vermont College of Medicine, Burlington, analysed data from about 30,000 US citizens aged 45 and above.
It identified 495 participants who had developed thinking and memory problems, or cognitive impairment, during the three-year study.
They were compared to 587 people with no cognitive problems.
People with AB blood type made up 6% of the group who developed cognitive impairment, which is higher than the 4% found in the general population.
They were 82% more likely to have difficulties with day-to-day memory, language and attention, which can signal the onset of dementia.
However, the study did not look at the risk of dementia.
The study supported the idea that having a certain blood group, such as O, may give a lower risk for cardiovascular disease, which in turn protected the brain, the researchers said.
"Our study looks at blood type and risk of cognitive impairment, but several studies have shown that factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes increase the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia," said Dr Cushman.
"Blood type is also related to other vascular conditions like stroke, so the findings highlight the connections between vascular issues and brain health. More research is needed to confirm these results."
Commenting on the study, Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said the research did not look at risk of dementia, and it was too early to say whether AB blood group might be linked to a higher risk of the condition.
"Current evidence suggests the best ways to keep the brain healthy are a balanced diet, not smoking and regular exercise," he said.
In their first match in League Two for six years, the Imps recovered admirably from conceding two soft goals and look well set to handle the step up.
Lincoln went ahead after 31 minutes as Wycombe failed to clear their lines, the ball broke to Nathan Arnold in the penalty area and he squared for Matt Green to tap in.
The visitors' lead lasted just six minutes however, as non-existent marking gave Luke O'Nien the easy task of nodding Joe Jacobson's set-piece into the top corner.
Three minutes later, the Chairboys led as Jacobson's low free-kick from 25 yards went through what was a flimsy Lincoln wall leaving keeper Paul Farman unsighted.
But the Imps squared it up again four minutes into the second half as Alex Woodyard played a superb through-ball to Ginnelly, who calmly finished beyond Scott Brown.

The New Schools Network says it wants to remove the rules for free schools limiting the number of places allocated on grounds of religion.
These rules have discouraged the opening of any Catholic free schools.
New Schools Network director Nick Timothy says the limits are blocking "high-calibre school providers".
Under the current free school regulations, if a faith group opened a free school it could only give priority to applicants on the grounds of religion for half the places.
This has been seen as a deterrent to faith groups who might want to apply to open free schools, with fewer than a fifth of free schools currently having a link to a religious group, lower than the state sector average.
The New Schools Network, part-funded by the Department for Education, says that these limited number of faith free schools are the most oversubscribed in the primary school sector.
The government has a target to open 500 more free schools - and all new schools opened by academy trusts now have to be designated as free schools.
But the New Schools Network, a key supporter of the government's free school expansion, says there is "significant untapped potential" among current school providers.
In particular, it highlights Catholic schools, saying "over 85% of children in Catholic state schools are in good or outstanding schools, compared to 80% in all schools".
Catholic schools also have a higher proportion of ethnic minority pupils than average, says the New Schools Network.
The charity says it wants to abolish the cap on places for faith free schools, which has proved a disincentive.
This would apply to any faith groups wanting to open free schools, says the New Schools Network.
It also says there could be "multi-religious" schools, proposed by partnerships of different faiths.
Mr Timothy said: "Although well-intentioned, the current 50% cap on admissions is actually blocking existing high-calibre school providers creating the much-needed places that parents want."
"Faith schools are more likely to be ethnically diverse, are more popular with parents, and are delivering a better quality education than other types of school."
Paul Barber, director of the Catholic Education Service, said Catholic schools remained "open to the idea" of free schools, but the current limits meant they were "unable to engage".
He said that it was against "common sense" for a faith group to open a school and then once its 50% quota had been reached to turn parents away because they belonged to that faith group.
But the Accord group, which campaigns against schools being able to select on grounds on religious belief, has written to the education secretary asking her to retain the 50% cap for free schools.
Christine Blower, leader of the National Union of Teachers, said: "The rule ensures that at least half of the free schools' intake is not restricted to a particular faith.
"Free schools are paid for by all taxpayers. It would be wrong to exclude children local to the school where their parents wish them to attend irrespective of their faith."
The chief executive of the British Humanist Association, Andrew Copson, criticised the proposals as risking "further segregating children by defining and dividing them by the religions and beliefs of their parents".
A statement from the Department for Education said: "The requirement for all oversubscribed faith free schools to make at least 50% of their places available to those of another or no faith helps to tackle segregation and ensures young people will experience the diversity of religious beliefs that make up modern Britain."
Lidl said it had been given the green light by North Lanarkshire Council to construct a warehouse at Eurocentral.
The firm will relocate its 400-strong workforce from its current distribution base in Livingston to the larger site.
The new roles will include more warehouse staff, customer services personnel and payroll employees.
Lidl said the centre would help provide support for its 92 Scottish stores.
Construction work on the new facility is due to start within the next six months.
Ross Millar, managing director for Lidl in Scotland, said: "Our new RDC (regional distribution centre) not only signifies an investment in our own infrastructure and workforce, but also highlights our wider ambitions within Scotland as Lidl UK continues to experience incredible growth."
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) began legal action against Apple in April.
It alleges that Apple "routinely refused" to repair devices disabled by an error if they had previously been fixed by an unauthorised provider.
The court documents reveal that Apple has denied the ACCC's allegations.
In the documents, seen by the Guardian, Apple said it had not misled or caused any harm to its Australian customers.
The files reveal how the ACCC's investigators called all 13 of Apple's Australian retailers, posing as customers whose iPhone speakers had stopped working after the screen had been replaced.
In each case, Apple told the caller "that no Apple entity... was required to, or would, remedy the defective speaker at no cost... if the screen of the iPhone had been replaced by someone other than Apple Australia or an Apple-authorised service provider".
Apple said that the phone calls had been about "hypothetical circumstances" and that no breach of consumer law had therefore occurred.
It said that genuine customers would be given other information outlining their rights under Australian consumer law, under which consumers have the right to a free repair or replacement if a product is faulty or of unacceptable quality.
When the ACCC brought its case against Apple, Rod Sims, who chairs the watchdog, said the rights provided by Australian consumer law "exist independently of any manufacturer's warranty and are not extinguished simply because a consumer has goods repaired by a third party".
He added that those rights "extend to any software or software updates" required.
The so-called "error 53" occurred after owners downloaded an update for their iPhone or iPad's operating system.
Many of those affected had used a third-party service for repairs, often to replace a cracked screen.
The software included a "security measure" to check that the Touch ID fingerprint scanner was working correctly.
If it detected a mismatch between the sensor and the screen, it would assume that an unauthorised attempt had been made to access the device and disable it completely.
The fault first appeared in late 2014.
In February 2016, Apple issued a fix that made affected devices usable again, in part by disabling Touch ID.
Its plane, yet to go into development, would carry 150 people on journeys of less than 300 miles.
Wright Electric said by removing the need for jet fuel, the price of travel could drop dramatically.
British low-cost airline Easyjet has expressed its interest in the technology.
"Easyjet has had discussions with Wright Electric and is actively providing an airline operator's perspective on the development of this exciting technology," the airline told the BBC.
However, significant hurdles need to be overcome if Wright Electric is to make the Wright One, pictured above, a reality.
The company is relying heavily on innovation in battery technology continuing to improve at its current rate. If not, the firm will not be able to build in enough power to give the plane the range it needs.
Industry experts are wary of the company's claims. Graham Warwick, technology editor of Aviation Weekly, said such technology was a "long way away".
"The battery technology is not there yet," he told the BBC.
"It's projected to come but it needs a significant improvement. Nobody thinks that is going to happen anytime soon. And there's all the [safety] certification - those rules are yet to be created, and that takes time."
The company is yet to produce a plane of its own and is instead working alongside American inventor Chip Yates, whose own electric aircraft, the Long-ESA, holds the world record for fastest electric aircraft.
Wright Electric's competitors include aviation giant Airbus, which has been developing its electric two-seater plane E-Fan since 2014, and has stated plans to create its own short-haul electric aeroplane seating 70 to 90 passengers.
Wright Electric is backed by Y Combinator, Silicon Valley's most highly-regarded start-up incubator programme. Alumni of the scheme include companies such as AirBnB, file storage company Dropbox and HR management software firm Zenefits.
Wright Electric's goal, detailed in a presentation given to potential investors on Tuesday, is to make all short-haul flights electric-powered within the next 20 years, which would be about 30% of all flights made globally.
The company said that as well as lower fuel costs for the airlines, the technology could have a major added benefit for the public.
"Depending on how it's designed, you can have an electric plane that's substantially less loud than a fuel plane," said Jeff Engler, Wright Electric's co-founder.
Batteries would be charged separately, he said, meaning planes would not have to sit on the tarmac while power is replenished.
"The way we've designed our plane is to have modular battery packs for quick swap using the same cargo container that's in a regular airplane," Mr Engler said.
"We want it to be as fast as possible, so airlines can keep their planes in the air as long as possible and cover their costs."
Other technology start-ups are seeking to innovate within the aviation industry.
Boom, a company backed by Sir Richard Branson, is developing a Concorde-like supersonic jet. It hopes to achieve London to New York in three-and-a-half hours, a journey which currently takes more than eight hours. It is expected to run test flights later this year.

The proposals will also make it easier for new universities to open.
The plans aim to encourage more competition and better consumer value for students.
Labour's Gordon Marsden warned of "inadequate" controls over a "rapid expansion" in new universities.
The proposals, published in a White Paper called Success as a Knowledge Economy, aim to encourage a wider range of new higher education institutions, by speeding up the process allowing them to award their own degrees.
This could include allowing more private institutions to be given university status.
There are also measures to improve the experience of students, by encouraging better teaching and linking this to increases in tuition fees above the current limit.
Fees will be able to rise in line with inflation above £9,000 for students starting in 2017-18 for universities considered to offer high quality teaching, based on inspections.
The government will announce in 2016-17 which universities will be able to increase their fees.
A further mechanism for measuring teaching quality, the Teaching Excellence Framework, will be phased in over four years.
There are also suggestions that it should be made easier for students to switch courses and universities.
The policy is aimed at encouraging more new and innovative providers into England's higher education system, with ministers saying that the jobs market needs increasing numbers of high-skilled graduates.
But it also wants to address concerns that the consumer rights of students are not being adequately protected.
There are concerns that too many students think the quality of teaching is not good enough or that there are too few teaching hours or insufficient information before beginning a course.
The White Paper is proposing that a watchdog, the Office for Students, should be created.
There will also be encouragement for universities to admit students from a wider range of social backgrounds - with warnings that entry to top universities is still dominated by students from wealthier families.
Universities will have to produce much more detailed information about applications and admissions, in terms of ethnicity, gender and family income.
"Our universities are engines of economic growth and social mobility, but if we are to remain competitive and ensure that a high-quality education remains open to all, we cannot stand still," said Mr Johnson.
"Making it easier for high-quality challenger institutions to start offering their own degrees will help drive up teaching quality, boost the economy and extend aspiration and life chances for students from all backgrounds," said the universities minister.
"By creating the Office for Students, we will put student choice, teaching quality and social mobility at the top of the agenda in higher education."
Sorana Vieru, vice president of the National Union of Students, said students would be "outraged" at the prospect of tuition fees being increased.
But she welcomed the recognition of the "need for progress on access and widening participations".
Dame Julia Goodfellow, president of Universities UK, warned of the need to protect quality among new institutions.
"It is important also that any new higher education providers awarding their own degrees or calling themselves 'university' meet these same, high standards."
Sally Hunt, leader of the UCU lecturers' union, warned of the "danger of opening up UK higher education to for-profit providers".
Labour's shadow universities minister, Gordon Marsden, warned that it could be "potentially very dangerous" to allow new providers to award degrees too quickly.
"Who would pick up the pieces if it all went wrong?"
But Josh Hardie, CBI deputy director-general, welcomed the push for better teaching and emphasised the economy's need for more high-skilled employees.
"Skills shortages across our country show we need to take action. It's right to focus on high-quality university teaching, as well as giving students and employers greater transparency." | So the legislatives have been won, and the final part of what future history books will record as the Macronian conquest is complete.

The Irish Guards will play in the junior championship in London after being narrowly voted in by the county board.
The Irish Post reported that chairman Noel O'Sullivan used his casting ballot to accept the club after a tied vote.
British security forces were banned from playing Gaelic games until 2001 under Rule 21.
The controversial rule also prevented security force personnel from becoming members of the association, until it was abolished 14 years ago.
The Irish Guards are the first Army regiment to become an affiliated club in the GAA's history.
"Very simply for me I can see both sides. I can appreciate the way people feel," Mr O'Sullivan said.
"But we have to move forward, don't dwell on the past."
The regiment, nicknamed the Micks, will play under the Irish name Garda Eireannach.
The club will be open to anyone living in the area surrounding its base in Hounslow, west London.
The Irish Guards applied to formally join the GAA as a club several months ago after moving to London from its previous base in Aldershot.
Their application was presented to the county board meeting on Monday by Sgt Ken Fox, from County Waterford.
Fifteen players have already put their names down to play, including some Irish-born former minor and under-21 players and soldiers from Fiji and South Africa.
Part of the Irish Guards application to join the GAA referenced how the Fijians wanted to play a "strong, physical game that would suit them".
Mr O'Sullivan replied: "And that's what they'll get."
They will initially play Gaelic football and are said to be considering offering hurling to members in the future.
A spokesman for the British Army said: "The armed forces have a strong sporting background and the Irish Guards are no exception.
"With a strong link to Ireland there is no doubt that there are some highly capable GAA players in the ranks keen to show their prowess at competition level."
The regiment was formed on 1 April 1900 by Queen Victoria.
The Army says it was in recognition of many courageous acts carried out by Irish soldiers in the Second Boer War.
The Irish Guards' colonel-in-chief is the Duke of Cambridge.
The regiment now draws most recruits from Northern Ireland but also takes in soldiers from the Republic of Ireland and many communities across Britain with strong Irish connections. | A British Army regiment will compete as a club in the GAA for the first time from next year. | 34,261,048 | 519 | 24 | false |
A statistical error in October led some forces to wrongly assume they would be losing money for 2016-17, while others thought their budgets were to increase.
The Home Affairs Select Committee says it hopes its proposal will help remedy "the shambles we have seen so far".
The government said it would consider the recommendations carefully.
The amount of money each police force receives from the government is based on a funding formula, which assesses population size, social and economic factors, crime rates and other data.
Last month, the government delayed proposed changes to the way the money is allocated after acknowledging its plans had been based on flawed calculations.
It admitted the wrong set of figures had been used to decide deprivation levels within each police area.
In its report, the committee praises Devon and Cornwall Police and Andrew White, chief executive of the office of the force's police and crime commissioner, for exposing the statistical error.
Home Affairs Committee chairman Keith Vaz said called it a "real David and Goliath situation".
"You have the might of the Home Office and all their economists, statisticians and senior civil servants - and there you have Devon and Cornwall, asking for data, paying for their own data and exposing the error," he said.
The Home Affairs Committee suggests a panel made up of auditors, accountants, statisticians and police policy experts assist the government to reach the new formula.
Mr Vaz said the current police funding formula had become unfit for purpose, but the recent errors had "gravely damaged" the service's confidence in the creation of a new deal.
"Police forces found themselves on a rollercoaster, where at the stroke of a pen they saw their funding allocation plummet in some cases and rise meteorically in others, with nobody able to explain why," he added.
Chancellor George Osborne said in the Autumn Statement there would be no cuts to the police budget in real terms, and Mr Vaz said this gave the Home Office a "real opportunity".
"We hope the assistance and advice of external experts will deliver a fair and effective funding formula."
The committee said funding for police needed to recognise the "full range" of demands on forces.
It said this included specific local issues caused by policing airports and tourist areas; emerging offences such as cyber-crime, child exploitation and radicalisation; and counter-terrorism resources for all forces across the country.
Policing minister Mike Penning said: "The current model for allocating police funding is complex, opaque and out-of-date. That was why we consulted on principles for reform of funding arrangements...
"We have always said that we will only be successful in achieving our aim of building a fit-for-purpose and sustainable model with considerable input from policing partners. The government notes the committee's report and will respond formally in due course." | An independent panel should assist the Home Office in devising a new funding formula for police forces in England and Wales, a committee of MPs has said. | 35,065,131 | 618 | 34 | false |
The 19-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan to Berwick Rangers, playing 16 times and scoring twice for the Scottish League Two side.
He becomes manager Martin Canning's first signing of the close season.
Hamilton could lose two of their regular defenders this summer with both right-back Ziggy Gordon and centre-half Lucas out of contract.
Gordon has been linked with Dundee and Jagiellonia Bialystok.
The 23-year-old, capped by Scotland at under-19 level, came through the youth ranks at New Douglas Park.
Lucas joined Accies last summer after the 25-year-old left Moldovan club Milsami Orhei and is now back home in Brazil considering his options.
Accies also look likely to lose goalkeeper Michael McGovern after the 31-year-old impressed for Northern Ireland during the Euro 2016 finals.
His contract ran out at the end of June and, like Gordon and Lucas, he has not accepted the offer of a new deal.

Kirobo Mini, who was 10cm (4in) high, had been designed to provide companionship, the company said.
And it could tailor conversations to include comments about journeys based on data from its owner's vehicle.
It also has childlike attributes, but a robotics expert told the BBC a robot could not be a substitute for a child.
"He wobbles a bit, and this is meant to emulate a seated baby, which hasn't fully developed the skills to balance itself," Fuminori Kataoka, Kirobo Mini's chief design engineer, told the Reuters news agency.
"This vulnerability is meant to invoke an emotional connection."
Prof Dr Kerstin Dautenhahn, from the school of computer science at the University of Hertfordshire, said the "cute" robot may appeal to young people.
"It reminded me of the Tamagotchi - the idea of having a cute little thing that is not necessarily giving you the impression that it is alive but has these lifelike attributes," she told the BBC.
"They are appealing to people's nurturing instincts."
However, Prof Dautenhahn, said it was "offensive" to believe it could be a child substitute for women without children, as some reportshave suggested.
Some of Toyota's marketing material shows women cradling the robot, but the company does not not explicitly make this claim.
"It might make people feel good, but there is no human component here, robots cannot be substitutes for children," said Prof Dautenhahn.
Toyota says Kirobo Mini can:
It has a provisional price tag of 39,800 yen (£300), and there are no plans to sell it outside of Japan.
It is considerably cheaper than other companion robots - Aldebaran's humanoid robot, Pepper, cost 198,000 yen at launch.
Kirobo Mini's predecessor, a 34cm robot called Kirobo, was sent up to the International Space Station in 2013.
Its job was to accompany Japanese astronaut Kochi Wakata as part of a study about isolation.

While Cardiff University remained the best-placed Welsh university in the annual Complete University Guide, it fell from 23rd place last year to 31st.
Swansea University fell three places to 45th.
However, Bangor climbed six spots to 58th and Cardiff Metropolitan moved up 19 spots to 79th.
With Cardiff Metropolitan being Wales' most improved institution on the list, its deputy vice-chancellor, Jacqui Hare, said the university was "really proud".
"The increase in our position in this independent ranking reflects our significant investment in the student experience here at Cardiff Met," she added.
The guide, which has been running since 2008, uses 10 measures to rank the top 125 universities across the UK.
It rates them all on entry standards, student satisfaction, research quality and graduate prospects, among other criteria.
Aberystwyth University maintained its 87th place ranking from last year, while University of South Wales fell from 100th to 102nd and Wrexham-based Glyndwr University dropped 13 places to 123rd.
The merged University of Wales, Trinity Saint David, which had been unranked since 2013, fought its way into the list at 125th.
The top three was unchanged from last year, with Cambridge University first, Oxford second and the London School of Economics third.
This year's Complete University Guide suggested Welsh universities have the highest student-staff ratios of any UK nation at just over 19 students per member of staff, compared to the UK average of 17.
It is one of several guides ranking the best institutions, with the latest Times Higher Education world university rankings due out on Wednesday.
Other barometers include the Research Excellence Framework, which rated almost a third of research by Welsh universities as being of "world-leading" quality when it was last released in December 2014.

The Lib Dems highlighted research which suggested many employers cannot get candidates with the skills they need.
The SNP pledged to create more "high-skill" apprenticeships.
Labour called on the SNP to "come clean" over cuts to council budgets, and the Conservatives claimed a key Labour health policy was "in tatters".
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said a report from the UK Commission for Employment and Skills had stated a fifth of employers in Scotland cannot get candidates with the skills they need.
His party plans to invest extra cash in colleges as part of a plan to raise ??475m a year extra funding for education by increasing income tax rate in Scotland by 1p across all bands.
Mr Rennie, who was visiting Inverurie in Aberdeenshire, argued: "The best route out of poverty is work and the best route into work is education. We know the best way to build a sustainable, vibrant economy is to deploy the talents of all our people.
"At the moment too many people are being left behind. Businesses are crying out for skilled workers but Scotland has slipped down the international education league table and 152,000 college places have been lost on the SNP's watch.
"More than 20,000 of these were places here in the north-east. Tens of thousands of people in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are not getting the opportunities they deserve on the SNP's watch. That will not help Scotland be the best again."
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon focused on the same issue when she visited communities near the Dalzell Steelwork in Motherwell, days after a deal was reached to save it and another mothballed steel plant in Clydebridge, South Lanarkshire.
Ms Sturgeon had already promised her party would up the number of apprenticeship training places from 25,000 a year to 30,000 a year by 2020 if it is re-elected on 5 May.
Now, the SNP has vowed those additional 5,000 places will be in "high-level science, technology and engineering courses that deliver the skills employers need and the high-wage jobs our young people deserve".
Ms Sturgeon said: "Giving our young people the skills they need to be at the cutting edge of our economy and our jobs market is vital for their future and for the future of our economy.
"That means learning from our traditional industries, expanding support for science, maths, engineering and vocational training, building greater connections between industry, schools and colleges, and ensuring our young people are able to see the huge opportunities ahead of them."
Meanwhile, Scottish Labour said cuts to council services would have a negative impact on older people and make delivering proper social care in Scotland even more difficult.
The party said it would make "fairer choices" on tax to stop cuts to local services, and would spend the health budget more effectively, with an additional ??300m for social care to guarantee a care package within a week of assessment.
Labour's Jackie Baillie said: "We need to end the sticking plaster approach to our NHS which sees queues at our A&E wards and only a third of our NHS staff believing there are enough of them to do their jobs properly.
"Labour would relieve the pressures on our hospitals by protecting the health budget and spending it better. That would help our health service, established in the 1940s, to meet the challenges of the 2040s. More than 270 Scots died in the last year waiting for a care package. That is simply scandalous.
"The SNP need to come clean on the impact of their cuts on our older people that may need extra care in later life. These are cuts we don't have to make. We can end austerity in Scotland by taking different, fairer decisions on tax."
But Labour came under attack from the Conservatives over proposals unveiled by party leader Kezia Dugdale, which were widely reported as being a pledge that everyone in Scotland would be entitled to a GP appointment within 48 hours.
On its website, Scottish Labour said it would "end the SNP GP crisis and guarantee an appointment within 48 hours," with Ms Dugdale telling the party's conference: "Our plan for the NHS will guarantee an appointment at your local surgery - which you can book online if you choose - within 48 hours".
But Labour's health spokeswoman, Jenny Marra, clarified at a hustings event last week that: "There was a little bit of confusion because of the way it was reported in the press - it's not a guarantee to see a GP directly".
Instead, Ms Marra said the 48-hour commitment referred to "the most appropriate health care professional" rather than specifically to a GP.
Jackson Carlaw of the Conservatives said: "There was no doubt in anybody's mind that Labour was promising everyone access to a GP within 48 hours.
"However, under pressure at an election health hustings this was 're-profiled' by Jenny Marra as nothing more than access to a local surgery but not a guaranteed appointment with a doctor."
A summer weekend discount offer on South West Trains (SWT) was unavailable on Saturday.
A veterans' group said the rail firm's stance was an "absolute disgrace".
The firm said weekend promotions were regularly not applied to busy days when they could lead to "serious overcrowding".
Veterans, war widows and members of their families gathered for a memorial event in central London marking the 70th anniversary of VJ Day.
Train passengers on Saturday paid standard charges - up to 60% more than the promotional fare available during other summer weekends.
Tony Hayes, of Veterans' Association UK, said: "They should have had a discount or kept the normal discount. It's an opportunity to make extra cash.
"They've hit the wrong people - these guys are on a pension and couldn't really afford it."
The train firm said its summer promotion had been launched on 13 July, with some days excluded in advance.
A spokesman said: "It would have been irresponsible of us to encourage even more people on to our network on a day when we knew that trains would be extremely busy.
"We believe it makes more sense to encourage people to take advantage of our offers at slightly less busy times when they will be able to enjoy the experience more."
Other large scale events in the region included the England v France ruby international at Twickenham, which attracted 60,000 fans.
The company also insisted it had initiatives to support military personnel and veterans.
BBC South Transport correspondent Paul Clifton said train operators work the same way as airlines and ferry companies.
"They try to sell most seats on most services. When numbers are down, they use cheap offers to fill seats that would otherwise be empty. When numbers are up, as they were this weekend, they don't need the special deals to fill their trains," he said.
Terry Perkins, 68, allegedly broke into Chatila jewellers in Old Bond Street during the August bank holiday in 2010. He denies the charges.
Only five stills of the raid remain available, Southwark Crown Court heard.
Perkins, of Enfield, was sentenced to seven years in jail for his role in the Hatton Garden raid in 2016.
The prosecution said the Mayfair burglary bore "striking" similarities with the Hatton Garden Raid in 2015
Matthew Hollands, a detective in the Metropolitan Police's armed robbery unit, told the court the footage had been destroyed due to rules on how long police property can be stored for.
He said the move was "regrettable", but due to the "passage of time" it was decided that "these exhibits would be destroyed".
The key footage from came from nearby shops and Westminster Council, the court heard.
It showed four men in high visibility jackets getting out of a white van on the morning of 29 August and later leaving the premises with white containers and bags.
But none of the remaining stills include the men.
The group tried to drill into a safe containing about £40m worth of jewellery, but was unsuccessful.
They did, however, manage to get into the showroom where they allegedly stole £1m in precious stones and jewellery, the jury was told.
Fellow Hatton Garden raider Daniel Jones, 60, pleaded guilty to his role at an earlier hearing ahead of the trial.
Defending Perkins, Peter Rowlands pointed out that no descriptions of the men's height, build or age had been recorded when the viewing logs of the footage were produced.
The trial continues.

Groenewegen defeated German Andre Greipel in a frenetic final sprint on the Champs Elysees but the day belonged to 32-year-old Froome.
The Team Sky rider is now second in the all-time list after completing his third successive victory.
Rigoberto Uran was second, 54 seconds behind, with Romain Bardet third.
"Each time I have won has been so unique, such a different battle to get to this moment," said Froome afterwards.
"They are all so special but this will be remembered as the closest and most hard fought."
It was a largely processional stage before they reached Paris - with Yoann Offredo stopping to greet family and friends as the race passed close to his home and Cyril Gautier writing a marriage proposal on a piece on paper that was then broadcast on television.
But the stage ended in the expected bunch finish - with several teams trying to set up their sprinters before Lotto NL-Jumbo's Groenewegen held off his rivals to cross the line first.
Lotto Soudal's Greipel banged his head against his handlebars in frustration as he ended a Tour without a stage win for the first time.
An unusual thing happened to Froome during the 2017 Tour - he had the yellow jersey taken off him.
Froome cracked on the steep incline up to the summit finish at Peyragudes at the end of stage 12, losing 22 seconds to Italian Fabio Aru.
It gave Aru a six-second advantage and the rest of Froome's rivals hope that they could seriously threaten the 32-year-old for the first time in several years.
"I suffered in the Pyrenees and lost time on Peyragudes - but normally a bad day in the mountains you can lose three minutes," added Froome.
If his rivals thought Froome - who came into the race a little light on miles - was vulnerable he responded superbly, sprinting up to the finish in Rodez at the end of stage 14 to reclaim yellow from the tiring Aru.
Froome did not surrender the jersey again. The only time he was seriously threatened was when he had to stop to change a wheel shortly after he had been attacked by his rivals on stage 15 - but he managed to close the gap they had opened.
And even though there were only 29 seconds separating the top three of Froome, Bardet and Uran going into the time trial in Marseille on Saturday's penultimate stage, Froome had long ago regained control of the race.
"Every Tour is hard. It's difficult to say which was the hardest - every year you suffer. Definitely this was closest," he added after finishing third in the time trial to extend his lead.
Froome did not win a stage this year - becoming only the seventh rider to win a Tour without one - but does move second in the list of most Tour titles.
Only the legendary Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain - all with five wins - stand above Froome.
And there are now only three men to have worn yellow on more days - Froome has worn it 59 times and moved above Anquetil on the all-time list during this year's Tour.
It would have to be classed as a successful year for British riders at the Tour - although there are a few notable exceptions.
For the second successive year, a British rider not only topped the general classification but also claimed the white jersey given to the the best rider under the age of 26.
Last year it was Adam Yates who ended in white, but with the 24-year-old not in the 2017 race after riding the Giro d'Italia, where he finished ninth, his twin brother and fellow Orica-Scott rider Simon Yates claimed the jersey instead.
Dimension Data's Steve Cummings won stages in 2015 and 2016 and many of his fans avidly watched to see whether he would be able to get himself in the kind of breakaway that would give him the chance to complete the hat-trick, but it was not to be for the 36-year-old, who admitted he had been "disappointed" by his Tour.
At least Cummings made it to Paris - unlike his team-mate Mark Cavendish, who was well placed in a sprint before crashing into the barriers at the end of stage four.
Cavendish broke his right shoulder in the crash - in an incident that not only ended his Tour but also saw Peter Sagan controversially disqualified from the race.
Injury also ended the race of Sky's Geraint Thomas, the Welshman crashing on a fast decent and breaking his collarbone during the brutal ninth stage - one that also claimed Australian Richie Porte, another of the pre-race favourites.
But at least Thomas had won the opening stage's time trial in the German city of Dusseldorf, in the process taking yellow for the first time. Thomas held the jersey until the end of stage four.
Luke Rowe - Team Sky's third British rider - finished as the lanterne rouge, the rider in last place on general classification.
Fortuneo-Oscaro sprinter Dan McLay had been in last place but he abandoned on stage 17, while Scott Thwaites and Ben Swift both reached Paris, with the former 107th on the GC and the latter 83rd.
The two remaining jerseys were both won by Team Sunweb, with the German team also picking up four stages, two each for Michael Matthews and Warren Barguil.
Green: Michael Matthews (Team Sunweb)
After Marcel Kittel claimed his fifth win of the Tour on stage 11, the German sprinter had a seemingly insurmountable lead in the green jersey points classification of 133 points over Matthews.
However, the Australian never gave up, going on the attack to pick up intermediate sprint points and after wins on stages 14 and 16, the Sunweb rider was just 29 points behind his Quick-Step rival.
Kittel was then forced to abandon after crashing early on stage 17, with Matthews pulling on the green jersey and soon building an unassailable lead of his own.
Sagan, who won the previous five points classifications, was disqualified for his part in a crash involving Cavendish, another former green jersey winner, on stage four.
Polka dot: Warren Barguil (Team Sunweb)
Barguil was distraught after being denied in a photo finish by Uran on stage nine, having thought he had won. The 25-year-old Frenchman responded in fine style, though, by utterly dominating the King of the Mountains classification.
He proved a deserving winner - building his total through two stage wins and long-range attacks to take points over the summits of some of the Tour's toughest climbs.
His victory on stage 13 meant he became the first French rider since 2005 to win on Bastille Day, while he became the first of any nationality to win a Tour stage at the summit of the Col d'Izoard on stage 18.
White: Simon Yates (Orica-Scott)
Yates took the white jersey off Pierre Latour at the end of stage four and kept it all the way to Paris.
His key rival for white was South African Louis Meintjes. The two finished one place apart in the general classification, with Yates seventh and Meintjes eighth.
Meintjes' last chance to seriously challenge his rival for white was Saturday's time trial through the streets of Marseille - but after 22.5km the two finished on exactly the same time.
Former British cyclist and BBC summariser Rob Hayles
When you look at the fight for the yellow jersey, the competition has rarely been closer.
Until Kittel abandoned, the green jersey competition was shaping up to be very tight and Barguil has animated so many of the mountain stages in his fight for the polka dot jersey. So this Tour has been the most exciting for a while.
With the tight margins involved, this has definitely been Chris Froome's toughest victory.
He has never really been in a position at any point where he could relax and consider yellow in Paris a foregone conclusion.
Stage 15 - where Froome had to have a bike change while Bardet's team were trying to turn the screw - showed just how strong physically and mentally he has been at this year's Tour.
Everybody in the team played their part. Mikel Landa, Michal Kwiatkowski and Luke Rowe in particular were true professionals and that is what the Tour is about - not just the individual leader, but his team-mates all working for one goal.

Hamilton cut Sebastian Vettel's lead in the title race to 12 points with victory in Canada, a fortnight after his worst race of the year in Monaco.
Wolff said: "Lewis is in the best place I have seen him during any of the five years since he joined the team.
"Not only because he had a great weekend in Montreal - but because he is coping so well with difficult days."
Hamilton has had an up-and-down start to the season, describing his fluctuating results as "a rollercoaster ride".
He has matched Vettel with three wins and has twice finished second to the German - but the Briton has also finished fourth in Russia and seventh in Monaco.
Wolff added: "This is what the very best are made of. When the fight gets tough, they get over it quickly and maximise their opportunities."
Mercedes have also had tricky weekends, struggling to get the best out of the car in Russia and Monaco, even though Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas ended up winning in Sochi after a fast start from third on the grid.
Speaking ahead of this weekend's race in Azerbaijan, Wolff said: "It's a long championship. There will be weekends that are good and ones that are not so good. It's about making the best out of it each time.
"In terms of the car, we've joked about it being a bit of a diva. But it's a good car - though sometimes it can be difficult.
"This is something we have to accept so that we can understand and appreciate the many positive characteristics that it has. I believe our car is the fastest on the grid and I wouldn't want any other."
Wolff also paid tribute to the performance of Bottas, who finished second to Hamilton in Canada, although he said that the Finn needed to put together more races on which he is strong throughout the three days.
Wolff said: "Valtteri is in a strong position. You would never think he joined the team very last minute over the winter and, after, seven grands prix, he has exceeded even our expectations.
"He's been on pole, won a race and challenged Lewis on both Saturday and Sundays. For him, it's now just about putting it all together every single weekend and I have no doubt he will do that."
Bottas joined Mercedes on a one-year contract this season to replace Nico Rosberg, who retired after winning the title last season.
The 27-year-old admitted this week he needs "consistent performance" to be sure of a deal for 2018.
Arshad Khan, 18, was photographed pouring tea at Islamabad's Sunday Bazaar by photographer Javeria Ali.
Thousands of lovestruck Twitter users quickly shared the picture, swooning over his piercing eyes, and #ChaiWala began trending across social media.
Days later, Mr Khan shot his first modelling campaign.
Fitin.pk, an online shopping site based in Islamabad, rushed to sign Mr Khan up and is already using pictures of him modelling menswear.
A message on its website and Facebook page reads: "Chai wala is not more chai wala now he is fashion wala!"
In an interview with local TV news, Mr Khan said his family had lived in Islamabad for the last 25 years and that he joined the tea stall a few months ago. He said he hadn't heard of the social media platforms Instagram or Twitter.
Pakistan's Express Tribune reportedly tracked the tea seller-turned celebrity down at his usual workplace. Asked if he was aware of his global fame, Mr Khan replied humbly: "Yes, I am aware of my newly found fame and I am incredibly happy. My friends have been showing me pictures since this morning."
One Indian Twitter user, @Shruti_writes, referenced India-Pakistan tensions by calling for peace for the teenager's sake, writing: "Pakistan has #ChaiWala looking like this. Please dont bomb it, thanks" [Sic].
Photographer Ms Ali, who posted the fateful picture on 14 October, anticipated the global response, writing simply: "Hot-tea" and signing off with a wink.
She told the BBC: "I was very surprised when it got famous - to me it was a normal casual post!"
Ms Ali, a recent media graduate who photographs weddings and events in Islamabad, said she was delighted for Mr Khan.
"I'm very happy for him, he deserves this. He's a really nice kid. I just hope he can handle the fame and not be exploited by greedy people."
The 655-acre Hickling Broad estate will pass to Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
It is home to the bittern, one of the UK's rarest birds, and was put on the open market in September 2016.
Brendon Joyce, the trust's chief executive, said: "In our hands we know it's safe. We know it will be managed well not only for wildlife but for all the people that enjoy it."
LIVE: Updates on this story and other Norfolk news
The trust paid £2.5m in total, the biggest land purchase in its 90-year history
It will own 1,400 acres at Hickling Broad, about 60% of the total area in one of the most wildlife-rich wetlands in the UK.
The flagship reserve's wetland habitats have already been restored by Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
It offers a year-round haven for threatened wildlife such as swallowtail butterflies, marsh harriers, Norfolk hawker dragonflies and the bittern.
About £100,000 of the target was raised by the general public within the first three weeks of the appeal.
The trust has also been helped in the purchase with a £1m loan by the Garfield Weston Foundation and £500,000 from trust reserves.
Mr Joyce said: "We hadn't realised the extent to which it's seen as such a special place in the hearts and minds of so many people in Norfolk but also elsewhere.
"We had a lot of donations from outside of the county as well."
The Stones made a fast start and were ahead after only six minutes when Joe Pigott fired home from the edge of the box.
Daggers duo Scott Doe and Fejiri Okenabirhie had attempts saved as the first half drew to a close before Pigott saw a goal disallowed midway through the second period.
Bobby-Joe Taylor hit the bar with a free-kick but the visitors, who had Stuart Lewis sent off late on, sealed the points courtesy of Delano Sam-Yorke's goal five minutes from time.

They hope to raise £900,000 through a community shares issue to help finance the project at Lael, near Ullapool.
The effort, being led by Lochbroom Community Renewables, has collected £25,000 so far.
Water from the Allt a' Mhuilinn burn, which flows through woodland into the River Broom, would power the scheme.
The shares issue for the project, called BroomPower, closes in August.
Jamala's song 1944 is about the tragedy that befell her great-grandmother, when the dictator sent 240,000 Tatars on crowded trains to barren Central Asia.
Thousands died during the journey or starved to death after they arrived.
The lyrics begin: "They come to your house, they kill you all and say: 'We're not guilty'."
Memories of those events were revived by Russia's seizure of Crimea in 2014. Although 1944 does not directly comment on that issue, former Eurovision winner Ruslana commented: "This song... is precisely what we are all suffering in Ukraine today."
"This song really is about my family," said Jamala, whose great-grandmother was in her mid-20s when she, her four sons and daughter were deported - after Stalin accused the Tatars of collaborating with the Nazis.
One of the children died during the journey to Central Asia.
"I needed that song to free myself, to release the memory of my great-grandmother, the memory of that girl who has no grave," Jamala told the AFP news agency last week.
She added that she had entered Eurovision because she wanted people to hear a song written "in a state of helplessness" after Russia's seizure of her land.
Speaking to Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) the 32-year-old said that she is thinking of her family members in current-day Crimea when she sings 1944.
"Now the Crimean Tatars are on occupied territory and it is very hard for them," she said.
"They are under tremendous pressure. Some have disappeared without a trace. And that is terrifying. I would not want to see history repeat itself."​
Eurovision rules prohibit songs with politically loaded lyrics. In 2009, Georgia's disco-funk song We Don't Wanna Put In, was excluded for poking fun at Vladimir Putin. The song was selected as the country's entry less than a year after Russia and Georgia went to war over the region of South Ossetia.
Ukraine's 2005 entrant Green Jolly was also told to rework the lyrics of its song, Razom Nas Bahato, which was an anthem of the previous year's Orange Revolution protests.
This year's edition of the Eurovision Song Contest takes place in Stockholm in May.
The UK will select its entry in a live vote on BBC Four this Friday, 26 February.
Tim Wilson has decided not to stand in South Northamptonshire after David Coburn MEP compared Humza Yousaf to convicted terrorist Abu Hamza.
Mr Coburn has apologised for the remarks, saying it was a "joke".
A spokesman for UKIP said Mr Wilson had failed to emphasise local issues in his general election campaign.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said Mr Coburn's remarks were a "joke in poor taste" but he would not be taking any action against him.
But Mr Wilson said he was disillusioned with the party over the "racist jibes" and has decided to stand down.
He told BBC Scotland he was appalled by Mr Coburn's comments about Mr Yousaf and frustrated by the inaction of the party's leadership on the issue.
He said David Coburn had produced "what I can only describe as an Islamaphobic insult, and that's simply not acceptable".
Mr Wilson added: "Of course he went on and apologised. I think, frankly, that if you are in a position of power you have to be able to control what ideas emerge from your head and how they get to your mouth and, in fact, you shouldn't have those ideas in the first place.
"But the real issue is that when Mr Farage was asked what he thought about this he dismissed this as a joke.
"I don't think this is a joke. I think this is something very serious. It may not be that this man intended to cause offence but we aren't interested in what his intentions are. We are interested in the effect what he says has on other people and the effect is catastrophic, it's appalling and I've resigned."
In his resignation letter, Mr Wilson said he had been "systematically gagged by the party whip" and forbidden to speak about Islam favourably.
A spokesman for UKIP said Mr Wilson had failed to put more emphasis on local issues in his campaign.
He said: "Whilst we had initially been optimistic about Tim Wilson's abilities as a candidate, it became obvious in recent weeks that he was out of his depth in representing our party in the way we would expect.
"Mr Wilson had clearly misunderstood the expectations that UKIP place on all of its candidates. Principal amongst those is focusing on issues that are relevant to local voters. UKIP put huge emphasis on local issues and Mr Wilson was unwilling to follow UKIP guidelines in this respect."
Last week MSPs at the Scottish Parliament unanimously condemned the remarks made by Mr Coburn during a newspaper interview.
MSPs were debating a motion celebrating Scotland's diverse communities.
The president of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, condemned the remarks, saying they were "not worthy of any elected member".
But a spokesman for the president said he could not act on remarks made outside parliament.
The move comes just days after another candidate, Jonathan Stanley, quit in protest at the "racist filth" in UKIP. Mr Stanley, who was due to stand in the Cumbrian seat of Westmorland and Lonsdale, was the party's former head of policy in Scotland.
The frontrunner for the Republican nomination for the November election was speaking to the New York Times.
Mr Trump said he would consider pulling out troops from Japan and South Korea if they did not pay the US more.
He said he might stop buying oil from Saudi Arabia if it did not send troops to fight so-called Islamic State.
Mr Trump insisted he was "not isolationist" but "America First".
He said: "We have been disrespected, mocked, and ripped off for many, many years by people that were smarter, shrewder, tougher.
"We were the big bully, but we were not smartly led. And we were the big bully who was the big, stupid bully and we were systematically ripped off by everybody."
The thrust of Mr Trump's interview concerned the economic cost of US foreign policy.
Mr Trump cited the US debt - "soon to be $21tn" (£14.8tn) - and linked it to the fact the US "defended the world".
"No matter who it is, we defend everybody. When in doubt, come to the United States. We'll defend you. In some cases free of charge."
He said that China had rebuilt itself from money that has "drained out of the United States".
"They've done it through monetary manipulation, by devaluations. And very sophisticated. I mean, they're grand chess players at devaluation."
He added: "I like China very much, I like Chinese people. I respect the Chinese leaders, but you know China's been taking advantage of us for many, many years and we can't allow it to go on."
Mr Trump also cited Japan, South Korea, and nations in the Middle East as not paying their way.
Mr Trump said the US was "not being properly reimbursed" for protecting Saudi Arabia.
"Without us, Saudi Arabia wouldn't exist for very long. It would be, you know, a catastrophic failure without our protection.
"They're a money machine... and yet they don't reimburse us the way we should be reimbursed."
He also cited Nato, saying it was "obsolete" as the main international threat now was terrorism.
"Nato is something that at the time was excellent. Today, it has to be changed."
The US, he added, bore "far too much of the cost of Nato".
Mr Trump expressed a similar view about the US funding of the United Nations.
He said: "We get nothing out of the United Nations. They don't respect us, they don't do what we want, and yet we fund them disproportionately again."
Mr Trump also referred to the criticism he had received for calling Brussels a "hellhole waiting to explode" but said that, after the deadly attacks on Tuesday, he had been proved right.
He spoke of the arrest before the attacks of key suspect Salah Abdeslam.
Mr Trump, who has said he supports the use of some methods of torture in some cases, said that if Belgian authorities had "immediately subjected him to very serious interrogation - very, very serious - you might have stopped the bombing".
Mr Trump also touched on Mexico, having previously accused Mexican immigrants in the United States of being criminals and rapists, and vowing to build a wall on the border.
He said US jobs were being lost to Mexico "and it has to be stopped".
Many Mexicans have been outraged by Mr Trump's stance. On Saturday, an effigy of him was burned in Mexico City on Saturday in a twist on the Easter "Burning of Judas" tradition.
The forward has decided to move on after the Giants were unable to make promises of increased ice time for Peacock in the new Elite League season.
Peacock lies second in all time goals and points scored for the Giants.
He helped Belfast win the play-off title in 2010 and league titles in the 2011-12 and 2013-14 seasons.
It was designed by scientists from Harvard Microbotics Laboratory and is about the same size as a ten pence coin.
The robots are special because they use something called 'electrostatic adhesion' to perch on the ceiling.
That's the same thing that happens when you rub a balloon on your jumper and it sticks to walls.
Perching on things allows the robots to save their energy on longer journeys.
Scientists think these robots could be used to help search and rescue teams get to hard to reach places after a natural disaster.
This got us thinking about some of the other incredible animal-inspired robots we've met on Newsround...
Scientists are turning to the animal world for inspiration for their latest robot designs.
We sent Ricky to check out some of those robots that have been made with a helping hand from the animal kingdom.
He discovered robots which have been inspired by ants, bulls, cheetahs and even fleas!
These tiny robots can carry up to 2,000 times their own body weight, that's the same amount of power as a human pulling along a blue whale!
The scientists from Stanford University who invented them, were inspired by the way that certain animals move.
They looked at the way a gecko's feet allow it to stick to surfaces, and how an ant's feet can help it to carry up to 100 times its own body weight.
Cam Neville looked out from the truck and caught a glimpse of burning red lines leading to a location called Hellfire Pass.
It was his first night volunteering with the local fire brigade, and the Australian photographer felt anxious. What was he about to encounter?
"Certainly I had a flutter of nervousness," he told the BBC. "Growing up in England, I'd never seen anything quite like that."
He did not get near the blaze that night, but since then he has encountered others.
Australia depends an army of volunteers to protect its sprawling country from devastating bushfires.
Mr Neville signed up to join them on Queensland's Gold Coast hinterland, believing it was the only way he could take photographs from the front line.
The inspiration behind his award-nominated picture series Into the Fire was simple: to capture first-hand experiences of men and women fighting fires. This was something TV news rarely offered, he thought.
"I really wanted to know who these people were," Mr Neville said. "I think I really needed to experience what they all went through as well."
Mr Neville grew up in Brighton before moving to Australia and settling in south-east Queensland.
"Where we live there are houses that back onto very dense bush," he said. "The fire threat is very real."
Initially he carried two DSLR cameras with bulky lenses, but it quickly proved impractical. Now Mr Neville uses a single camera with a 25mm lens.
He takes shots in quiet moments between fighting fires.
The photographer says the project has also brought him practical skills and new friendships.
"I've learned that it's an incredibly complicated and dangerous business - fighting fires of any type or size - because it's unpredictable," he said.
His admiration for his colleagues has only grown.
"The call goes out and people answer," Mr Neville said. "They never know what they're going to."
The little robot is visible in new images downloaded from the Rosetta probe in orbit around the icy dirt-ball 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
European Space Agency (Esa) officials say there is no doubt about the identification - "it's as clear as day", one told the BBC.
Philae was dropped on to the comet by Rosetta in 2014 but fell silent 60 hours later when its battery ran flat.
Although it relayed pictures and data about its location to Earth, the lander's actual resting place was a mystery.
It was assumed Philae had bounced into a dark ditch on touchdown - an analysis now borne out by the latest pictures, which were acquired from a distance of 2.7km from the duck-shaped icy body.
Wait after comet landing 'bounce'
The images from Rosetta's high-resolution Osiris camera were downlinked to Earth late on Sunday night, and have only just been processed.
Philae is seen wedged against a large over-hang. Its 1m-wide box shape and legs are unmistakable, however.
Rosetta had previously surveyed this location - dubbed Abydos - without success.
"Candidate detections" were made but none were very convincing.
The difference today is a closer-in perspective and a change in the seasons on the comet, which means the hiding place is now better illuminated.
The discovery comes just a few weeks before controllers plan to crash-land Rosetta itself on to the comet to formally end its investigation of 67P.
Although there is no hope of reviving the lander - some of its equipment will have been broken in the cold of space - simply knowing its precise resting place will help scientists make better sense of the data it returned during its three days of operation back in 2014.
"It was very important to find Philae before the mission ended, to understand the context of its in-situ scientific measurements," said Prof Mark McCaughrean, Esa's senior science advisor.
"But it was probably just as important to provide some emotional closure for the millions who have been following both Philae and Rosetta through the trials and tribulations of their exploration of this remarkable remnant of the birth of our Solar System.
"And there's one big final adventure to come on 30 September as Rosetta itself descends to the comet, doing unique science close-up before the mission ends for good," he told BBC News.

Weaknesses in outdated systems could allow attackers to make ships disappear from tracking systems - or even make it look like a large fleet was incoming.
Researchers at Trend Micro said their findings showed the danger of using legacy systems designed when security was not an issue.
But one vessel-tracking specialist said spoof attempts could be easily spotted.
Lloyd's List Intelligence's Ian Trowbridge said that in addition to the vulnerable technology - known as the Automatic Identification System (AIS) - other measures could be used to identify marine activity.
"The spoofing would immediately be identified by [Lloyd's List Intelligence] as a warp vessel," he said, "providing unexplained position reports outside of the vessel's speed/distance capability and thus subject to further investigation and validation."
The AIS system is used to track the whereabouts of ships travelling across the world's oceans.
For ships over a certain size, having AIS fitted is mandatory under international maritime law.
Small leisure boats and fishing vessels - for which it is optional - can purchase a transponder for as low as £600, making AIS significantly cheaper than alternative location systems.
It is designed to transmit data about a ship's position, as well as other relevant information, so that movements can be seen by other boats as well as relevant authorities on shore.
One other use is to alert nearby ships when a man or woman is overboard - an alert that can easily be spoofed, says Trend Micro's Rik Ferguson.
"It boils down to the fact that the protocol was never designed with security in mind," he told the BBC.
"There's no validity checking of what's being put up there."
Using equipment bought for 700 euros (£600), the researchers were able to intercept signals and make vessels appear on the tracking system, even though they did not exist.
In one example, the team was able to make it look as if a ship's route had spelled out the word "pwned" - hacker slang for "owned".
The information broadcast by AIS is public - but when the system was first put in use, in the early 1990s, the technology required to receive the information was prohibitively expensive for those not directly involved in the industry.
But now, a typical internet connection can be used to see the locations of boats, as well as an indicator of what type of cargo they may be carrying.
There has been speculation that Somali pirates have been making use of the system.
"It has long been thought that the pirates are basically using AIS as a shopping list," Mr Ferguson said, "seeing what's coming into local waters, and what cargo it may have."
However, Lloyd's List Intelligence noted that captains are permitted to disable AIS if they feel their crew could be endangered by it.

The current economic climate presents significant challenges to all businesses, but is also a catalyst for innovation across many industries.
As consumers change the way they behave, they will push industries in unforeseen directions.
For our market sector, the response to such trends centres on attitudes to car ownership and the impact of smartphone technology.
The West has had a love affair with the car since the 1950s, but in the richest cities and especially in their centres, car ownership and use is declining.
Over the last 20 years, more and more people are living in cities, so the density of the city centres has been increasing rapidly. People now prefer to live in multi-use areas that combine residential, office, shopping and schools in close proximity.
In London, 40% of households do not own a car, according to a 2012 report by Transport for London.
The decline in car ownership is particularly evident in the capital's fall in multi-car households, which dropped from 21% in 2001 to 17% in 2007.
Instead of the traditional focus on cars and driving, people are mixing and matching their transport choices - using what they need when they need it - and the radical advances in technology are making such "smart mobility" possible.
Mobile apps can make travelling by different modes of transport seamless. It is now easy to combine air, rail and car travel in new ways to reach a destination.
Londoners can access Boris bikes, the Tube, rail networks, taxis, car sharing schemes, car rental and even hire practical vans for visits to B&Q - all via their smartphones.
Both car ownership and vehicle-kilometres driven in cities in developed countries may be reaching saturation, or even be on the wane, according to a recent report by the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
People no longer automatically associate mobility with owning a car.
Instead, many of them want access to as many transport options as possible.
It is vital for companies in the motor industry, whether carmakers or rental car firms, to keep in step with and respond to these changing trends around smart mobility.
Car ownership, with all the costs involved, is not necessarily the right model for city dwellers any longer.
In the mature European market in particular, we are seeing multi-car households cut back to own just one car.
This has increased demand for solutions such as hourly car sharing schemes, as well as for a far wider range of cars for hire at all price points.
Car sharing is particularly attractive to younger consumers, whose attitude to ownership has been compared to dating.
People get to try out different cars, different lifestyles, and different identities. For them, owning a car feels like being tied down.
The ownership shift is made possible by the widespread availability of smartphone technology and mobile apps.
Accessibility is now 24/7 and everything can be done on the mobile phone or a tablet. Find a vehicle nearby, reserve it, pay for it, change destinations and drop-offs, and access guides and navigation.
Smartphone apps also now enable users to find a taxi in less-trafficked parts of the city, thereby increasing utilisation of the taxi fleet, or they can use their handsets to find parking places and walking routes.
Such spontaneity means travel and transport providers have to be increasingly flexible and reactive to their consumers' needs.
We cannot expect loyalty; we have to earn it.
Speed of response and customer service is what sets businesses apart, as people base their decisions upon ease and value.
Amidst all this technology, it is vital that customers can still interact with companies directly and face-to-face.
Convenience must also be balanced with a good customer experience. Companies simply cannot afford to lose that human element.
As car ownership continues to decline in many Western cities, we will see a higher adoption of electric vehicles - including both bicycles and cars, city-centric cars and other forms of compact motorised vehicles not yet seen.
Electric mobility has a critical role to play in achieving the goal of sustainable transport, and we - along with others in the motor industry - have a responsibility to help reduce emissions.
Electric vehicle adoption has started slowly as infrastructure of charging networks are still being built up.
But as these networks reach critical density, the rate of uptake will pick up.
China in particular has focused its strategic plan on using electric vehicles as way to provide a cleaner, more sustainable transport option.
Shenzhen stands out as a city that has deployed several hundred all-electric taxis, all-electric municipal buses and a charging station network.
In London, meanwhile, electric taxis are expected to be trialled in 2013. It has been claimed this could eliminate 20% of the capital's exhaust pollution caused by its 22,000 black cabs.
In Rome, holiday-makers and commuters travelling into the city by train can now continue their journey using electric vehicles based at the two main stations at a cost of just 8 euros ($10.60; £6.50) an hour. We see this model spreading throughout Europe.
We, and some of our rivals, are partnering with city authorities and electric infrastructure providers worldwide to make electric vehicles in cities a viable option.
This is already happening in London, Oxford and Paris.
Hiring alternative fuel cars without having to worry about infrastructure is a great way of making people more comfortable with this technology and tackling worries such as range anxiety.
Many city mayors are implementing car sharing and electric vehicle schemes for these purposes, while we see more corporations asking for electric and petrol-electric hybrid models in their fleets to support their corporate sustainability targets.
Innovation, whether in terms of embracing new technologies or tapping into consumer trends, or both, is critical in many market sectors to drive a successful future in a still uncertain economy.
In my industry, we need to adapt to new modes and patterns of transportation. Sustainable mobility needs to also offer choice, convenience, flexibility and value.
This is why we are focused on smart mobility; you need to be smart in the current market to remain competitive.

The county's fire service said crews had been pumping water out of homes in Market Drayton and one near Whitchurch.
Diksmuide Drive in Ellesmere has also been flooded and a farmer had to rescue a flock of sheep stuck in flood water in Oswestry, the fire service said.
Dave Throup from the Environment Agency tweeted that flood barriers were due to go up in Frankswell on Monday.
The agency has issued a number of warnings for rivers in the county including the Vyrnwy at Melverley and Maesbrook.
Battlefield Link Road in Shrewsbury and the A41 at Bletchley near Market Drayton have been closed due to flooding.
Mary Dhonau, from the Flood Protection Association, said the ground is already water-logged and recent flood victims must accept it may happen again.
She said: "It's just awful and my heart goes out to the people that are at risk of flooding, having been flooded myself.
"I cannot emphasise how horrible it is to have your home violated by filthy, foul smelling water."
The Environment Agency has published a live floods map.
Ireland team manager Paul Dean said on Monday that the British & Irish Lions fly-half was "back running and will be monitored this week".
Sexton missed the Murrayfield game because of a calf injury.
The Irish do not appear to have picked up any major new injuries in Saturday's surprise 27-22 defeat.
Dean said that prop Tadhg Furlong sustained a bruised shoulder in the Murrayfield contest but will still be able to train fully this week.
Ireland coach Joe Schmidt said last Thursday that Sexton had an "outside chance" of playing in Rome while he was more hopeful that Donnacha Ryan (knee) and Andrew Trimble (groin) might be available for the Stadio Olimpico game.
Schmidt also indicated last week that Munster flanker Peter O'Mahony was "highly unlikely" to play in Rome after a hamstring injury ruled him out of the Murrayfield game.
Munster lock Ryan's absence saw Ulster's Iain Henderson partnering Devin Toner in the second row.
Sexton's replacement Paddy Jackson scored a second-half try in Ireland's weekend defeat and was rated as one of the team's better performers in Edinburgh.

Referring to Schmidt's post-match revelation that Ireland had been 10 minutes late arriving at Murrayfield, Dean said that Scottish police had diverted the team coach away from its intended route.
"We took a different route, enforced by the police. The circumstances were out of our control but we don't feel it contributed to the performance on the day," said the Ireland team manager.
Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw said the delay "wasn't the norm" but refused to use the issue as an excuse for the team's poor first-half performance.
"When we first got to the dressing room, we had 25 minutes to the warm-up - usually it is 45 minutes in the Aviva," said the Leinster player.
"That would have been a change for some of the lads. It was a change in set-up.
"We're not making excuses - we were primed and ready to perform from three trainings during the week.

"We knew what was going to come at us. There are no excuses for the slow start."
Despite Ireland's defeat, Henshaw believes the team's championship hopes remain very much alive.
"There is confidence we can still win the championship based on what we did in November. This is an incredible group and we know we can still win it."
Henshaw added that the Ireland squad had had a group review of the game on Sunday night before individual sessions on Monday morning.
"It was very frustrating and we're looking forward to putting it right this weekend," added the former Connacht player.
"It comes down to how we started. We felt flat as a group in the game. We gave them time and space on the ball and they punished us in the wider channels.
"Our spacing was narrow and when we got it spot on. They didn't get a chance after we fixed it."
The 28-year-old, who won the Dubai Desert Classic earlier this month, carded a six-under 65 to end the day behind Australian leader Nathan Holman.
Willett has climbed to 13th in the world rankings from 134th in June 2014.
He is joined in a six-way share of second by compatriot Tommy Fleetwood and Frenchman Alexander Levy.
Willett is also third in Europe's rankings ahead of September's Ryder Cup meeting with the United States after top-five finishes at the Nedbank Golf Challenge,World Tour Championship and HSBC Champions events in the last four months.
But he says that he tried to put his recent run of good form out of his mind as he picked up seven shots over the final 11 holes to climb up the leaderboard at Kuala Lumpur's Royal Selangor Golf Club.
"It is always easy to come to a tournament after you've won and put pressure on yourself to go out and do it again. I've done that before and it kind of kills you," he said.
"So I came here, tried to do the same things, kept working hard and tried to hit the same shots. And it seemed to work for me today."
The 29-year-old joined the National League club as a free agent in September and signed a short-term deal in November, set to expire in January.
The ex-Plymouth and Crawley man, who previously made 38 appearances in all competitions for Leeds, has started 14 league games for Guiseley this term.
The Lions are 23rd in the table, four points below 20th-placed Maidstone.
Gloucester's Hook, 30, has 81 Wales caps and toured South Africa with the 2009 British and Irish Lions.
But he was initially omitted from Wales' 2015 World Cup plans before being called in as a replacement.
"I am under no illusion it's getting tougher and tougher every year for me. But I will keep on battling on and am always available," said Hook.
He helped Wales win Grand Slams under Warren Gatland in 2008 and 2012, also contributing to the 2013 Six Nations title win.
However, Hook has seen former Ospreys rival and team-mate Dan Biggar become established as Wales' first-choice fly-half.
Rhys Priestland was also preferred to Hook at the 2015 World Cup only for a glut of back division injuries to prompt Wales to call for Hook.
Wales also picked Bristol fly-half Matthew Morgan for the tournament and called in Cardiff Blues' New Zealand-born player Gareth Anscombe as it went on.
Former Scarlet Priestland is now on an 18-month sabbatical from international duty after joining Bath.
BBC Radio Wales asked Hook if he felt Priestland's decision could boost his hopes of playing in the 2016 Six Nations.
Ex-Neath fly-half Hook replied: "I don't know what the coaches are thinking, but there's obviously a lot of young boys coming through as well.
"So I haven't had a lot of feedback from the coaches in that respect, but like I say, I'm always available."
The research looked at 1,000 patients diagnosed with cancer at 12 A&E departments in London and Essex.
A quarter of them did not live beyond two months of diagnosis, and on average they did not survive for six months.
The study's author said it "hammers home" the importance of early diagnosis.
Researchers from London Cancer, a network of care providers and academics, found people diagnosed in an emergency tend to have cancer that has spread around the body and also often have cancers that are harder to treat.
Average survival was less than six months for the overall group of patients, with only 36% still alive one year after diagnosis.
Half of all patients under 65 had died by 14 months. For older patients aged 65 to 75, half had died five months after diagnosis, while only 25% were alive beyond a year.
For those aged over 75, half had died after three months, with only a quarter surviving past one year.
Study author, UCL's Professor Kathy Pritchard-Jones, said: "These shocking figures hammer home what we already know to be true: early diagnosis can make a huge difference in your chances of surviving cancer.
"Around a quarter of all cancer cases are being diagnosed following presentation in A&E and the vast majority of these are already at a late stage, when treatment options are limited and survival is poorer."
Harpal Kumar, Cancer Research UK's chief executive, said: "Too many people are still diagnosed in hospital A&E departments and that must change." | Hamilton Academical have signed central defender Jordan McGregor on a one-year deal after he left Hibernian.

A National College of Teaching and Leadership panel found Marc Richardson, 34, guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.
The panel heard CCTV footage showed the pair emerging from beneath a stage at Tottington High School, Bury, where he was head of drama.
The married teacher had been previously warned about his behaviour.
In 2012, he sent "inappropriate communications" to another student, whom he said was "too attractive to teach" and asked her to keep quiet. He was given a final written warning by the school in January 2013.
Richardson, who did not attend the hearing, admitted being alone with a student in a room under the stage outside teaching hours in 2014.
He resigned, was arrested and released without charge.
The panel heard he sent messages to the girl, engaging in sexual conversations.
Her mother said she had "niggling feelings" about the teacher when her daughter asked about the contraceptive pill.
Another witness said her friend told her she had "done everything" with her boyfriend, who she admitted was Richardson.
Mark Tweedle, panel chairman, said: "The panel considered it is plain that sexual conversations took place between Pupil B and Mr Richardson, and they contained explicit references to sexual acts between them."
He said Richardson's conduct fell "significantly short of the standards expected of the profession."
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said of the arrest in 2014: "A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of sexual activity with a child and the sexual grooming of a child.
"A full investigation was conducted by the Greater Manchester Police public protection investigation unit and the man was released without charge."
The findings, to be discussed by the cabinet, revealed 17 "interim staff" were being paid more than £500 a day and two cost more than £800.
Opposition Conservatives have criticised the spending as exorbitant.
The Labour-led unitary council said the expertise was needed to oversee a restructuring programme designed to save money in the long-term.
The council said many of the temporary staff were providing short-term expertise on a project which aimed to save £30m by changing the way the council delivered services.
Conservative councillor Ian Bowyer said: "It seems to me at this moment in time Plymouth taxpayers are being asked to take a tremendous leap in the dark in the hope that we get a result at the end of the day.
"It's far from clear what that result might be."
The council said it was recruiting permanent staff for five of the posts.
They will battle it out against Muse, Coldplay and Lady Gaga for the honour.
Both Blur and the Roses are also shortlisted for best live act after reuniting for highly-anticipated shows this summer, along with The Cribs, Radiohead and Bruce Springsteen.
Noel Gallagher and Florence Welch also have two nominations each.
Both are in the running for best solo artist with Adele and Olympics opening ceremony performers Dizzee Rascal and Emeli Sande.
'Unforgettable year'
"It's been the most incredible year for British music," Q magazine editor Andrew Harrison said.
"Our bands and our anthems transformed the Olympics into the greatest music event on Earth. And amazing comeback shows from Blur and the Stone Roses showed the enduring appeal of our greatest musicians."
He added that the nominees for this year's Q Awards all "helped make 2012 an absolutely unforgettable year".
The best album category sees Paul Weller's Sonik Kicks and Bobby Womack's The Bravest Man In The Universe nominated alongside Richard Hawley's Standing At The Sky's Edge, The Black Keys El Camino and The Maccabees' Given to the Wild.
Alabama Shakes, Lianne La Havas, Django Django, Alt J and rapper Frank Ocean are all nominated for best new act.
A number of honorary awards will also be presented on the day, with other prizes including best track and best video.
Here is a list of the nominations in full, with winners due to be announced at a London ceremony, hosted by Pub Landlord comedian Al Murray, on 2 October:
Best solo artist
Now in its sixth year, the BBC Radio 2 contest challenges under-13s to write a story about any fictional topic.
Winners were announced on Chris Evans' breakfast show from the Globe Theatre, with Julie Walters and Tom Hiddleston among the celebrity narrators.
This year had a record 123,436 entries, up from 2015's 120,436.
Evans said: "Once again, the children of the UK have proved that they are amazing wordsmiths. It's been such a treat to hear the finalists' stories bought to life at the final by our very special guest narrators.
"Keep those imaginations flowing - I absolutely cannot wait for next year!"
The Duchess of Cornwall, who is an honorary judge this year, presented the winners' prizes at the London theatre. She was also one of the judges, along with Malorie Blackman, Frank Cottrell Boyce, Charlie Higson and Francesca Simon.
Here is the winners' list in full:
Gold: Ned Marshall (12) - e-COURTROOM.com
Silver: Clara Cowan (10) - The Sands of Time
Bronze: Ben Bailey (10) - The Great Cookie Quest
Gold: Evie Fowler (9) - Poor Pig's Revenge
Silver: Katie Denyer (9) - The Grannies who Flew to the Moon
Bronze: Fergus Gathorne-Hardy (8) - The Smoking Pipe
The other celebrity readers were Andy Serkis, Warwick Davis, Nick Jonas and Raleigh Ritchie.
Charlie Higson said of Poor Pig's Revenge: "What I love about this story is that it really shows how much kids love blood and guts and all things gory, nasty and yucky.
"What starts out looking like it's going to be a nice little goody-goody story about vegetarianism soon turns into a hilarious horror story as the pig turns the tables on the butcher."
Francesca Simon added that e-courtroom was "brilliantly original", and said: "I loved the way Ned used the 500 Words format to write a tense story while commenting on our modern craze for voting and judging."
The Sands of Time depicts the impact of dementia, seen through the eyes of a dementia patient and her granddaughter. Malorie Blackman said it was "poignant, heartfelt, evocative and beautifully written".
The Grannies who Flew to the Moon is about Dirty Gerty and Messy Bessy knitting parachutes, and Frank Cottrell Boyce praised the "swaggering self-confidence" of the writing.
Smoking Pipe was a "genuinely frightening ghost story" according to Simon. She described it as a "time-slip story" which "deftly captures the smells and sounds and spooky atmosphere of the Thames at night".
The Great Cookie Quest was a comic tale, and Cottrell Boyce said: "When we read this story out loud everyone was laughing. It's a story that escalates from sneaking a biscuit to demolishing a house.
"Lots of people try to have a twist at the end of a 500 Words story and it hardly ever works, but Ben really pulled it off."
As part of the competition, organisers found that the Children's Word of the year was refugee, after it appeared in hundreds of stories submitted.
It found the usage of the word refugee had more than tripled since last year, while Star Wars, Shakespeare, Tim Peake and social media were some of the other most common themes.
Stories featuring the word refugee were most frequently about the plight of children the same age as the writers leaving home and undertaking difficult journeys.
Cleveland Fire Brigade said it attended almost 600 alarm calls between 08:00 and 17:00 in one year but only 12 were actual fires.
The brigade said the onus was on businesses to make sure their systems were working properly.
Crews will still always attend residential automatic alarms.
The change will start on 2 October and applies to commercial premises, schools, public buildings and leisure complexes in a "bid to reduce time-wasting call-outs", the brigade said.
During the day when these premises are staffed confirmation of a fire must be made through a 999 call.
Phil Lancaster from the brigade said automatic alarms can often be triggered by cooking fumes, cigarette smoke, dust or other minor causes.
He said: "Our new policy will mean crews are not detracted from real emergencies where lives could be at risk."
The brigade will still respond to "high risk" properties such as hospitals and chemical sites at all times.
Heritage sites such as Ormesby Hall, Preston Park Hall and Wynyard Hall are also exempt from the new policy due to their "special risk".
The 37-year-old former skipper has yet to play this season, with Adam Wheater taking the gloves.
"I think in 2003 I didn't play two or three one-day games, but not playing in any format at the moment is an unusual feeling," Foster told BBC Essex.
"But the decision has been made and I've just got to chip away and be ready if the time comes."
Foster, who played in seven Test matches between 2001 and 2002, has used the spare time to experience life off the field, including his role as cricket professional with Forest School in east London, where he was once a pupil.
"I've been keeping myself busy," he said.
"I've suggested to the Essex management, coaching staff and captain about being around and helping out with the preparation on the coaching side of things, as an extra pair of hands, which I've started to do.
"I've had a little bit of time with MCC Young Cricketers and also doing a little bit more stuff with Forest School."
The council gave the go-ahead for the £150m project at East Tullos last week.
The incinerator would be used by Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray councils for non-recyclable waste, to reduce the amount sent to landfill.
Four community councils raised concerns, but the Scottish government said it did not consider the proposal raised issues of national significance.
The project is designed to generate heat that would be used in thousands of nearby homes.
It was given the go-ahead by the full city council - by 23 votes to 14 - despite opposition from campaigners who said it could cause problems with pollution and increase traffic congestion on the already busy Wellington Road.
The plant is due to open in 2021.
While some regions on the map appear to meet national standards in terms of offering regular reviews and support, others fall short, says Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
He said tackling the disease was a key priority and the new atlas should drive improvements.
Charities said the "postcode lottery" of care was unacceptable.
The atlas maps five themes of care - prevention, diagnosis, support, living with dementia and end of life care - using benchmarks for each.
For example, every person living with dementia should have an annual check-up to review their care needs.
In some areas of England, such as Aylesbury and North East Lincolnshire, around 85% of patients get these face-to-face meetings.
In other areas, the figure is much lower. In Somerset, for example, the figure is 50%.
Regional variation in population density and age could explain some of the differences, but not all, say dementia charities.
George McNamara from the Alzheimer's Society charity said: "The causes of variation need to be investigated to ensure care is never a gamble."
Caroline Abrahams of Age UK said: "In some areas we know help is really good but elsewhere services are frankly not up to scratch, with only a few people receiving at least an annual review of their care following diagnosis.
"This is an unacceptable postcode lottery of care. We must continue efforts to improve both access to, and quality of, care for the growing number of us living with dementia."
There are 676,000 people living with dementia in England and this figure is set to rise.
Mr Hunt said that by publishing the current levels of care "we are shining a spotlight on areas where there is still work to be done, whilst highlighting where we can learn from best practice".
The atlas also shows which areas of England are dementia-friendly communities - places that have taken steps to make life easier for people with dementia and their carers. This might include training local shopkeepers on how to interact with customers who have dementia, for example.
While much of West Midlands and Yorkshire are now dementia-friendly, many other regions north and south of these areas are not.
The Alzheimer's Society has appointed actress Carey Mulligan as the first UK Global Dementia Friends Ambassador.
Mulligan's new role will see her draw attention to the importance of making communities dementia-friendly.
Her grandmother Margaret, known as "Nans", was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2004.
The award-winning actress said: "My Nans has dementia and I have experienced first-hand how devastating it can be.
"It affects everyone differently and it's so important that everyone affected by the condition is treated with the respect and dignity that they deserve. At the moment, there's not nearly enough awareness and as a global society we have a duty to change that.
"The first step involves educating people and breaking down stigma - not just on our doorstep, but across the world.
"I've seen my mum doing this in her role as a Dementia Friends champion - now I'm honoured to become the first Global Dementia Friends Ambassador and help Alzheimer's Society and the Government change global attitudes towards dementia."
In her first interview since the possible terror attack on the Russian plane that blew apart over Egypt, Carolyn McCall said the idea of bombs on board was a thing that "kept airline chief executives awake at night".
Ms McCall would not name the airports, but said it was a global issue.
She has spent five days battling to fly home stranded tourists.
Ms McCall made it clear that following the 224 deaths on Russian flight 9268 from Sharm el-Sheikh it was time for a fundamental rethink.
I asked her about the foreign secretary's comments at the weekend that airport security would have to be increased if it was found that a bomb had brought down the flight from Sharm to St Petersburg.
Even if that meant higher costs and more delays for passengers.
"I think that in some airports security is very tight and very strict," Ms McCall told me.
"British airports do security very well.
"[But] I think Philip Hammond is right to point out that there are other countries that airlines fly to where it perhaps needs to be tightened."
I asked if Sharm el-Sheikh was one of the airports that fell into that category.
Remember, there have been criticisms of security there.
"I think the government has come out quite clearly and said that Sharm will have to tighten airport security," Ms McCall answered.
"I think everybody would agree with that. It's not a blanket message, it's a very specific message about certain airports around the world.
"This will be a global thing, not just an Egyptian thing or a North African thing.
"And I think passengers will be happy about that and I think airlines will support that, because no-one wants a security threat."
After days of criticisms that Easyjet has left some passengers confused (and, on the other side of the ledger, plenty of praise about the way the airline has dealt with the issue, putting up passengers in hotels as regulations oblige them to do), Ms McCall pledged that all stranded passengers would be home by the weekend.
"Our message is we will look after our passengers as we are doing," she said.
"They will be comfortable, they will be in hotels. All their [reasonable] expenses will be paid.
"We had about 4,500 passengers in Sharm [last] Wednesday, which is when this kicked off.
"We will have by the end of today [Monday 9 November], brought back 1,500 of them.
"By the end of the weekend, we would hope to have brought back all of the delayed passengers."
Ms McCall apologised to passengers for the frustrations, pointing out that the issue of how many flights they could operate out of Sharm was a matter for the Egyptian authorities.
"We know it's frustrating, we apologise for it, even though this is not caused by Easyjet.
"Of course we are empathetic. We know this is not easy."
The confusion was not helped last week when Easyjet initially said that eight flights would be returning on Friday, only to subsequently cut that number to two.
Ms McCall said that the number was initially agreed by the Egyptian authorities and then rescinded.
There were dark mutterings in Whitehall that Easyjet had jumped the gun on the "eight flights" announcement.
"The reason we said we had eight flights going out is because we had permission to get eight flights out," Ms McCall said.
"And the reason that didn't happen is because that permission was rescinded, so the flights we thought we were getting out, could not go out - but that was just about everything being very fluid."
There have been complaints that Russian passengers have had far more luck getting out of Sharm than British passengers.
Was it true, as one Easyjet representative was reported to have told passengers in Egypt, that the plethora of Russian planes departing was delaying UK flights?
"I don't know, is the honest answer," Ms McCall said.
"I think the whole situation is frustrating for everybody because the aim is - you want to get your passengers back as quickly as you can.
"I think it's up to the Egyptians really, what they do - and all we can do is try and influence and try and work with them and with our own government to make sure we get our passengers back."
Today is actually the 20th anniversary of Easyjet's first flight from Luton to Glasgow, an event that is being marked at the airline's headquarters at Luton.
Of course, the Egypt crisis has tempered those celebrations, but I did ask Ms McCall what she put the success of low-cost flying down to.
Pretty simple, she answered: "It's very quick, it's very easy, it's very efficient and it's no big deal anymore.
"You can get to so many parts of Europe and indeed many other places, without much fuss and hassle.
"It does it at very low fares, and it does it with very good service so our crew are fantastic, they smile, they put the customers at the centre of their thinking and you put that all together and that's why it's so successful."
Ms McCall will hope that the Egypt crisis does not colour too many people's perceptions.
Australian Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the move would allow refugees there to "have a fresh start".
Australia made a 2013 deal to provide PNG with aid if it agreed to house a detention centre and resettle refugees.
Australia sends asylum seekers arriving by boat to camps in PNG and the Pacific nation of Nauru for processing.
However, conditions in the camps have been strongly criticised by UN agencies and rights groups.
"Consistent with the RRA (Regional Resettlement Arrangement), persons transferred to PNG, who are found to be refugees, will be resettled in PNG. No-one will be resettled in Australia," Mr Dutton said in a statement.
"The PNG government has shown... its commitment to permit those found to be refugees to get on with their lives and have a fresh start in this dynamic nation with a growing economy."
In the 2013 deal struck with the Labor government of Kevin Rudd, Australia agreed to pay the Pacific nation about AU$400m (US$300m; £200m) in aid in return for PNG housing and eventually resettling refugees.
The move was aimed at deterring asylum seekers from trying to reach Australia's shores by boat.
The Manus Island centre has since suffered periods of unrest.
Riots broke out in February 2014 when local residents entered the facility and clashed with detainees. One asylum seeker was killed and at least 70 were hurt.
Earlier this year, detainees in one part of the camp barricaded themselves inside their compound and went on hunger strike.
Following the release of court documents, Kuwaiti Sheikh Ahmad was linked in media reports to Richard Lai, the Fifa audit and compliance committee member who was banned for bribery.
Lai admitted taking $950,000 (£735,000) in bribes in a US Court on Thursday.
In a statement, Ahmad said he "vigorously" denies any wrongdoing.
The 53-year-old, a member of both Fifa's ruling council and president of the Olympic Council of Asia, had admitted on Saturday to being aware of the media speculation but said he was "very surprised" by the allegations.
Court documents in Lai's case did not directly name Sheikh Ahmad but referred to someone who "at various times" was a "high-ranking official of Fifa, the Kuwait Football Association (KFA), and the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA)".
And in a second statement announcing his resignation, Ahmad said it was in Fifa's "best interests" for him to go.
"With regards to alleged illegal payments to Richard Lai, I can only refer to my previous statement and vigorously deny any wrongdoing," it read.
"I intend to work with all relevant authorities to disprove these, for me, totally surprising allegations.
"However, I do not want these allegations to create divisions or distract attention from the upcoming AFC (Asian Football Confederation) and Fifa congresses.
"Therefore, after careful consideration, I have decided it is in the best interests of Fifa and the AFC for me to withdraw my candidacy for the Fifa council and resign from my current football positions.
"I have been honoured to serve on the Fifa council, Fifa reform committee and AFC for the last two years and I will continue to support the family of football once these allegations have been disproved."
Lai, president of the Guam Football Association and a US citizen, admitted two counts of wire fraud conspiracy - relating to accepting and paying bribes - and one count of failing to disclose foreign bank accounts.
He agreed to pay more than $1.1m (£850,000) in forfeiture and penalties.
Following Ahmad's resignation, Fifa president Gianni Infantino stated: "I have taken note of the decision of Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah.
"I want to thank him for taking this decision which certainly was not easy to take but is in the best interest for Fifa."
BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway
Sheikh Ahmad Al-Sabah is one of the most powerful sports officials in the world. And chances are you've probably never heard of him.
That's the way he likes it. He is a man who operates in the shadows.
The Kuwaiti was a powerbroker in Fifa and the Asian Football Confederation. As it stands he still holds sway within the Olympic movement.
He helped Thomas Bach get elected as IOC president in 2013, leveraging his position as president of the Olympic Council of Asia to deliver key votes for the German.
There was intriguingly no mention in his statement about his Olympic jobs though, showing he may want to cling on there.
However, his resignation from football will help Fifa and the AFC limit the damage these allegations have caused.
Ahmad was identified in a US court case as allegedly giving bribes to another football official in return for votes and support. He denies any wrongdoing but his resignation from all of his football positions may now stop altogether, or at least delay, a lengthy and embarrassing ethics investigation from taking place.
Football's world governing body, trying to reassert its moral authority after years of financial and political scandal, will be thankful one of its top officials has gone relatively quietly.
However, there may be more pain to still to come. The US court case which prompted Ahmad to walk away marked a potentially significant move into alleged wrongdoing by Asian football officials for the first time.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino has already declared that the crisis for his organisation is over - Sheikh Ahmad's resignation shows there is quite clearly still some way to go before that rings true.
Wes Burns' corner caught a gust of wind and clipped a Gills head before flying past stranded keeper Stuart Nelson.
The hosts went 2-0 in front when Burns crossed for Ameobi to smash home his first for the club at the far post.
Luke Norris' drive reduced Gillingham's deficit, but Elliott List missed the chance to level from six yards out.
He follows Iggy Pop, Charlotte Church and Billy Bragg, who have used the lecture to give their verdicts on the music industry in previous years.
Eno's speech will be broadcast on BBC 6 Music and BBC Four.
Eno made his name in Roxy Music before going solo and producing acts including Talking Heads, U2 and Coldplay.
The lecture is named after the influential BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who died in 2004.
Eno said Peel "had a profound effect on my musical life and indeed my becoming a musician at all".
He added: "His career as a non-musician who altered the course of music has been an inspiration to me and forms the basis of this talk."
A statement from the BBC said Eno would "examine the ecology of culture" and "show how cultural processes confer essential and important benefits on society".
The lecture will take place during the Radio Academy's Radio Festival at the British Library on 27 September.
The move would reduce the charge from £29.59 to £19.59 in a bid to boost regional connections to Britain's busiest airport.
The airport is also proposing raising environmental charges to encourage cleaner, quieter planes.
Heathrow serves just seven regional destinations, down from 18 in 1990.
Charges for passengers flying to European destinations will also be cut by £5 to £24.59.
The airport hoped the reductions, which would take effect on 1 January, would encourage fuller planes and make more efficient use of limited capacity.
Airlines are not obliged to pass on the savings to passengers but it is expected that many would.
John Holland-Kaye, chief executive of Heathrow, said: "Our proposal to cut passenger charges by a third for domestic services will help us continue to drive the tourism, exports, inbound tourism and foreign direct investment that supports economic growth across the whole of the UK."
The review of charges is part of the airport's attempt to keep existing domestic routes commercially attractive to airlines and meet the recommendations of the National Connectivity Taskforce.
Last month, the airport pledged to open more routes to domestic destinations if it is allowed to expand and build a third runway. New routes could include Humberside, Newquay and Liverpool.
According to Heathrow, 1.7 million passengers connecting with long-haul flights in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris or Dubai could potentially be persuaded do so through the London airport if charges were reduced.
It also plans to alter the minimum departure charge for all flights, which currently stands at £1,406.
The proposals mean that airlines would have to pay a minimum of £1,268.40 per flight, £1,592.15 for EU flights and £2,689.82 for non-EU destinations.
Heathrow reviews its charging structure every five years. The final schedule will be announced in August.
Analysis: Douglas Fraser, BBC Scotland business and economy editor
Heathrow's bosses concede that they've lost ground in short-haul UK and European flights, while the scarcity of landing slots has pushed airlines to use them for more lucrative long-haul flights.
In the past 25 years, Heathrow's UK and Crown Dependency links are down from 18 destinations to only seven. Other London airports and rail offer alternatives, but that can be inconvenient for outbound passengers, and a blockage for inbound travellers who might otherwise visit other parts of the UK.
While Northern Irish links with London are almost all by plane, 69% of travellers between Scotland and London go by air. Yet there is no Heathrow link to Inverness.
Only BA links Heathrow to Glasgow, and Little Red, part of Virgin Atlantic, is to ground its links to Edinburgh and Aberdeen in September, leaving British Airways without competition. Meanwhile, smaller airports are closing or need government support without London links, including Blackpool, Newquay, Plymouth, Prestwick and Dundee.
The new charging regime, if implemented, would provide a financial signal to help maintain the shorter spokes in to the Heathrow hub. It would also help Heathrow's argument that it is good for the UK as a whole, as it fights for permission to build another runway.
The petition was delivered to the club on 2 February, with a hearing to be held at the High Court on 20 March.
The struggling League Two club are currently second bottom in the table, and in danger of going out the Football League.
A 4-1 defeat at Stevenage on Tuesday evening left them six points adrift of safety.
Orient president Francesco Becchetti said last month that he would consider selling the club, which he took over in 2014.
However, it is understood a number of potential offers have not been considered sufficiently financially attractive.
While the taxman is the principal petitioner for a winding-up, it now remains to be seen whether other creditors will come on board and support the action.
In the most recently available financial results, for the year ending 30 June 2015, Leyton Orient put their book value, the net value of the company running the football club, at -£5,512,449 - in other words, the club had debts exceeding its assets of more than £5.5m.
A spokesman for the EFL said it was aware of the winding-up petition, and had been in contact with the club asking them for further information and observations about the situation.
A meeting of the Leyton Orient Fans Trust (Loft) supporters' group will take place on Thursday to establish a financial "fighting fund" to help revive the club should it go into liquidation.
"This is a cause for alarm, but given the way things have been going recently we suspected something like this was coming down the track," said Tom Davies, vice-chairman of Loft.
"Obviously it is concerning to get a winding-up petition, and we are worried about how the owner will react, if indeed he does react to this."
Davies said the HMRC action would give extra focus to the fan meeting, and called on supporters to rally around to save the club.
"We need new funding, and a new owner," he added. "Other clubs have survived periods like this and gone on to flourish, but first of all we need to get out of the hole we are in at present."
Seoul says multiple internet addresses used in the attacks stem from Shenyang city near the North Korean border.
China has not responded to the request but says it firmly opposes hacking.
It is not clear who is behind the leaks of data, which officials say did not undermine the safety of the reactors.
South Korea has not ruled out North Korean involvement in the attack. In the past it has blamed its northern neighbour for hacks on banks, government websites and broadcasters.
"An IP address of a suspected hacker was traced to the Chinese city of Shenyang. Shenyang is home to cyber experts dispatched by North Korean authorities," a senior official at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office told The Korea Times .
"The culprit's identity has not been confirmed. We are closely co-operating with authorities in China and the FBI. It's too early to confirm that North Korea was responsible for the latest hacking; however, there is a strong possibility that Pyongyang was behind the attack," he said.
South Korean officials emphasise that the location of the internet addresses used to target its facilities does not conclusively prove the source of the hack was either China or North Korea.
"When we have the co-operation of the Chinese... We will be asking for checks or maybe a search of the location of the IP addresses," an official quoted by Reuters said.
"As we're doing this, there is a possibility that the IP addresses in China are not the final source but used in a routing. It's possible [the network] in China was used [remotely] from some other location."
Last week, designs and manuals of plant equipment owned by Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co (KHNP) were put online by an unknown individual or group.
A threat was made that unless three reactors were closed by Christmas, people should "stay away" from them.
KHNP, the sole nuclear operator in Korea, is to conduct a series of large-scale drills at four nuclear power plant complexes.
It is not known if this cyber-attack is in any way related to an incident last month when Sony Pictures was hacked and unreleased films put online.
The US says North Korea was behind the attack. Pyongyang has denied this and has called for a joint investigation.
Days later, the communist country's internet was shut down for several hours.
Orhan Koca, who is originally from Turkey, sustained a broken cheek-bone in the prison attack on Wednesday and needed stitches above his right eye.
He has been in jail since Tuesday, when he was remanded in custody after denying the murder of Mr Magee Jr.
The Prison Service said the jail attack is being investigated by the police.
Mr Koca's defence solicitor, Eamon O'Connor, told BBC Radio Ulster's Evening Extra programme that his client was attacked after leaving his cell for a family visit.
"He was going from the cell to the visiting area. Two other prisoners were speaking with him. He turned around and then he was hit in his face," Mr O'Connor said.
The lawyer said that as well as the fracture and stitches, Mr Koca suffered "possible nerve damage" with a loss of feeling around his mouth.
Mr O'Connor said he spoke to his client on Friday morning and he was "not able to communicate very well" because of his injuries.
He said that Mr Koca attended his family visit immediately after the attack "to make sure that someone saw the injuries that he sustained".
He was then brought to hospital for a number of hours, before being returned to Maghaberry Prison.
The lawyer said Mr Koca has requested that the prison authorities move him to an area where he could be held in "complete segregation" for his own safety.
The segregation request has been submitted in writing, and Mr O'Connor has also asked the Northern Ireland Prison Service for information on the "risk assessments" it carried out in relation to his client.
The lawyer said it was his understanding that the assault was captured on CCTV and was reported to police.
He said there was concern over how it could have taken place, as prison authorities have a "duty of care" to all inmates.
He added that the Koca family have contacted the Turkish Consulate in Scotland about the attack.
In a statement to Evening Extra, a spokesperson for the Northern Ireland Prison Service said they "can confirm that an incident involving a 32-year-old remand prisoner in Maghaberry took place on Wednesday, 3 June".
"PSNI have been informed and an investigation is ongoing. The police have also confirmed to us that they are investigating the incident," the statement added.
Club security staff became concerned about the light aircraft, which made a "sharp turn" and flew "erratically" while the team was playing Brighton.
The club and The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) hope supporters will have captured footage of the plane.
It is alleged the plane breached CAA guidelines by flying so low.
A club spokesman said: "The context of this appeal is that this plane was spotted flying erratically over the ground a few days after the Paris bombings."
He added: "This caused a potentially serious safety issue at the game and, as part of the investigation, the CAA is seeking video or still photographic evidence from anyone who may have witnessed the incident.
"The CAA said that if they have footage or stills they should be able to calculate the plane's height."
Despite its gas wealth, much of Turkmenistan's population is still impoverished. After independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 the country entered a period of isolation that has only recently begun to end.
Turkmenistan produces roughly 70 billion cubic metres of natural gas each year and about two-thirds of its exports go to Russia's Gazprom gas monopoly.
The government has sought out gas deals with several other countries, including China and neighbouring Iran, however, to reduce its dependency on Russia.
Population 5.2 million

President: Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov
Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov has ruled Turkmenistan since 2007 when he succeeded life-long president Saparmyrat Niyazov.
Following in his predecessor's footsteps, Mr Berdymukhamedov is an autocratic ruler who has built a personality cult. Officially titled the "Arkadag" (The Patron), he is also prime minister and commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces.
Constitutional changes passed in 2016 extended presidential term limits from five to seven years and scrapped the 70-year age limit which was the only legal barrier to Mr Berdymukhamedov remaining in power indefinitely.
In February 2017, Mr Berdymukhamedov was sworn in as president for a third consecutive term.
The Turkmen government has an absolute monopoly of the media. The authorities monitor media outlets, control printing presses, block websites, monitor internet use and lay down editorial policies.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) says a 2013 media law which bans censorship, is a "complete fiction". The watchdog says independent journalists work in secret, reporting for outlets based abroad.
An "atmosphere of fear" prevents reporting of negative news, says Freedom House.
The state controls internet access, which is prohibitively expensive for most citizens. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LiveJournal are blocked, as are foreign news and opposition websites. RSF lists Turkmenistan as an "Enemy of the Internet".
Some key events in Turkmenistan's history:
6th century BC - Area of what is now Turkmenistan forms part of the Persian Empire of Cyrus the Great.
1881 - Area of present-day Turkmenistan incorporated into Russian Turkestan after Battle of Gok Tepe.
1925 - Turkmenistan becomes a fully-fledged constituent republic of the USSR. It does not gain independence until 1991.
2009 December - Pipeline opened for gas exports to China, breaking Russia's stranglehold on Turkmenistan's energy reserves.
2011 December - Transparency International names Turkmenistan as joint third most corrupt country in the world.
It is understood the Liberal MP, who died in 2010, was stopped on the M1 in Northamptonshire during the 1980s.
A cold case unit is investigating claims he was released after images of child abuse were found in his car boot.
He was released after making a telephone call to an unidentified third party in London, it has been claimed.
Smith was the Liberal, then Liberal Democrat, MP for Rochdale, from 1972 to 1992.
So far, seven men have come forward to Greater Manchester Police saying they were abused by Smith, whose family maintains he had always denied claims of abuse.
Labour MP Simon Danczuk first made the claim about the M1 arrest in his book about Smith, published last year.
He alleged Smith was stopped on suspicion of a driving offence, but quickly released after he made the phone call.
Despite being taken into the police station, the material said to have been found in his boot disappeared, Mr Danczuk said.
A Freedom of Information Act request from the BBC asked Northamptonshire Police for "any information held by the constabulary relating to the arrest on the M1 during the 1980s" of Cyril Smith.
The constabulary said that other than a press release from March, it could "neither confirm nor deny that it holds any other information" relating to the case.
In doing so the force cited Section 23(5) of the act which concerns "information supplied by or concerning certain security bodies".
The force did not specify which branch of the security services it is referring to.
It also cited a number of other exemptions under the act, including those relating to law enforcement, personal information and investigations.
Ivan Balhatchet, assistant chief constable, said the force was committed to "complete and utter transparency" and said leads from Mr Danczuk were being "followed up".
Spokesman Jay Carney said there was "no indication of misconduct", but revealed that an internal investigation had been launched by White House lawyers.
Meanwhile, a 12th military service member has been linked to the scandal.
One member of Congress says he expects more Secret Service agents to be forced out in the coming days.
Six agents have already resigned or been forced out.
Mr Carney said the White House investigation had been launched on Friday out of "due diligence".
Reports say a disagreement between an agent and a prostitute sparked a row, blowing the lid off a night that saw 20 women taken back to a hotel in the Caribbean port city of Cartagena.
None of the individuals involved were part of President Barack Obama's personal security detail, but were in the city in advance of his trip to the Summit of Americas.
New York Congressman Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security committee, told NBC News "countless agents" were still interviewing women involved in the scandal, as well as Secret Service employees.
"I think we expect in the next day or so to see several more agents being forced to leave," Mr King said.
Congress will also widen its investigation into the agency, according to Mr King's counterpart in the Senate, Joe Lieberman.
Mr Lieberman said his committee wants to determine whether the scandal in Colombia was part of "a pattern of misconduct that has gone on elsewhere by Secret Service agents".
No-one is seriously suggesting that the keys to Downing Street should be handed over to Facebook users. Or that the prime minister should be replaced by a Twitter feed, however tempting that might seem to some.
But the weird, and slightly scary, fact is that after years of overly-optimistic predictions about e-democracy, social media is now so freely available and widespread that it would probably work. In theory.
"Technologically it is now possible. We could function as a direct democracy," Labour MP Kevin Brennan told a Hansard Society event at Westminster.
"The cost of obtaining people's views on a range of different subjects is miniscule compared to any other time in history, unless you go back to ancient Greece when you just gathered in the market place and you could have a direct vote on things."
But, argued the shadow education minister, it would be a truly terrible idea.
"Ultimately someone has got to take a decision. How comfortable would we be with a decision on capital punishment taken via a TV debate and a vote on Twitter?
"We have indirect democracy for a reason. When does crowdsourcing become mob rule?"
The whole point of representative democracy, of the kind practised for centuries at Westminster and in most Western democracies, is that it acts as a brake on "wild and irrational decisions", he reasoned.
But could social media be harnessed by politicians in a more modest way to help them form better policies?
The experts assembled by the Hansard Society, in a windowless conference room in an obscure corner of the Parliamentary estate, were divided on this one.
Britain Thinks polling chief Deborah Mattinson thought politicians should take advantage of the vast ocean of vaguely political chat sloshing around on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and the rest. It might give them a better handle on what voters are feeling about their decisions (social media is particularly good at gauging emotion, the panel agreed).
Just as long as they don't start mistaking it for public opinion.
"Social media is not a giant focus group and we shouldn't confuse it with that, we shouldn't think it is the same," Ms Mattinson told the event.
Social media users are entirely self-selecting and although there are millions of them, spanning many age and income groups, they do not include everybody and there is no reliable way of checking their authenticity. They could be posing as other people or not expressing their true opinion.
They also have a habit of behaving like an irrational mob, "shutting down debate quite aggressively", argued Gordon Brown's former polling guru, and many of them only communicate with narrow groups of like-minded people.
Then there is the question of how to cut through the crushing banality of most tweets (MPs are some of the worst offenders here, the panel agreed).
The answer might be a piece of software, WeGov, being developed by computer scientists at Southampton University, with help from the Hansard Society and EU funding.
There are dozens of "sentiment analysis" programmes on the market that allow companies to monitor what people are saying about their products on social media.
But Wegov, which is in the final stages of development, claims to be the first one specifically designed for politicians, enabling them to monitor debate, filter out the background "noise" and zoom in on what people are saying about them and their policies in a particular geographical area.
Paul Walland, one of the computer scientists behind the software, told the event that politicians would even be able to break into conversations to defend policies or pose questions.
But although Mr Walland insisted WeGov will only check publicly available sources, there are serious privacy concerns.
"There is a feeling of creepiness, I think, that people get when people realise that their conversations are being mined, processed and spat out the other end for delectation of politicians for making policy," said Kevin Brennan.
Perhaps, suggested Deborah Mattinson and Nick Pickles, of Big Brother Watch, politicians should ask people first before listening in on their online conversations.
So, setting aside all the hype and conjecture, are there any examples of social media actually being used to shape government policy?
When the coalition was formed, it launched a series of bold experiments in crowdsourcing laws and throwing open government data to public scrutiny. It also reformatted Labour's e-petition scheme, allowing it to trigger debates in Parliament.
How much of this has filtered through to actually policy is hard to say. Critics would say very little.
But Nick Jones, deputy director of digital communications at Downing Street, insists that the revolution is still on track.
Asked to come up with an example, he points to the Red Tape Challenge, which has received more than 28,000 comments since it was launched by the prime minister last year and which has a "social media element".
More than 150 pieces of legislation identified by the public as unnecessary have been so far been scrapped.
Not one to set the pulse racing, Mr Jones conceded, but a sign, perhaps, that social media could be on its way to being a part of the everyday fabric of government.

The wrestler sued Gawker after it published a private video of the star on its website.
David Folkenflik, a media correspondent for US National Public Radio, told the BBC's Today programme how a long-standing animosity might have motivated Mr Thiel.
The lawsuit, he said, appeared designed to take the company down. "This is an existential threat for Gawker," he told Sarah Montague.
He beat Marin Cilic in straight sets on Centre Court on Sunday.
So does this make him the greatest of all time? Here's what the stats say:
8 Federer sailed into the record books when he won the Wimbledon men's singles title for a record eighth time.
19 He's won 19 grand slam titles over his career, which is the most of any player. It's four more than the next highest ranking player, Rafa Nadal.
35 This is the age at which Federer won the 2017 Wimbledon title, making him the oldest winner of the event since the Open era began in 1968.
41 The number of years since the last time a player won the men's singles at Wimbledon without dropping a set. Bjorn Borg managed this in 1976 before Federer did it in 2017.
14 The number of years between his first grand slam win in 2003 and his latest one.
Six scarecrows on the Chew Valley trail have been stolen, Geri 'Ginger Spice' Halliwell has been torched and "Double Crow Seven" decapitated.
The trail is created annually to raise money for eight-year-old cancer patient Harvey Hext, from Winford.
Organiser Sam Probert said: "I've run this for four years but this year it's got worse and worse, it's shocking."
Designed on the theme of "Let the Music Play", 120 scarecrows were installed in villages from Wrington to Winford.
But in the last few weeks, someone has walked off with a Muppet, an effigy of John Lennon has had his coat and left arm taken, and Jessie J was "kidnapped".
Amelia Hicks, who works in Chew Magna, said their James Bond scarecrow was attacked just three days after the trail started.
"I came into work to find the torso of "Double Crow Seven" had been taken away," she said.
"We've kept his legs but it's sad - I know a lot of time and effort was put in to making him."
Meanwhile six miles (9km) away, a Ginger Spice stand-in was attacked outside a hair salon in Wrington.
"It was set on fire - we had a pile of burnt debris and it all ended up in the bin," said Sandra Ogden.
"Somebody had used a fire extinguisher luckily but it's disappointing."
Ms Probert said the disappearance of the first scarecrow - Jessie J - had been captured on CCTV.
"They literally pulled up in their car. Someone jumped out, cut the scarecrow down, and put it in their car and drove off," she said.
"The goodwill of scarecrow builders is amazing but if they keep seeing things taken or destroyed each year - it will be hard to get them to do the trail again."
The flagship £189m building faces losing half its workforce if proposals to slash its annual budget go through.
A meeting attended by hundreds of people on Wednesday heard some library services would be "irreparably" damaged under the plans.
Birmingham City Council has said it was exploring alternative ways to save services.
The meeting, in the library's studio theatre, heard from a number of library supporters.
Sam Owen, a member of staff at the library, branded proposals to cut staff "short-sighted" and said only basic counter services would remain if cuts were approved.
She said the building's specialist archive and research staff would be lost, and collections would be "irreparably damaged".
"Without the staff...[the library] would just be an empty shell," she said.
"It's no good having a state-of-the art library if there aren't enough experienced staff to run it."
William Gallagher, an author and Writers' Guild representative, said the proposed cuts were "embarrassing" for the city and could damage its image.
"Birmingham is supposed to be a great place to do business," he said.
"But we are showing the world we can't even keep our library open."
If Birmingham City Council's budget proposals for 2015/16 are approved, 100 library staff will lose their jobs and opening hours will be reduced from 73 to 40 hours per week.
On Tuesday the authority said it was considering an approach to the British Library in a bid to make Birmingham one of its regional centres.
But Councillor Penny Holbrook said the discussions were at an "early stage", and the British Library said it had not been contacted in relation to the idea.
Ulster Wildlife says young barn owl chicks make the sound when they are calling for food from their parents.
It is believed there are only between 30 and 50 breeding pairs of the red-listed species in Northern Ireland.
And experts know of just three active nest sites.
One of those nests is on Michael Calvert's farm near Greyabbey in County Down.
The beef farmer manages his land to attract barn owls by leaving uncultivated field margins where mice can thrive.
He has also put up barn owl boxes and, for the second year in a row, adults there have successfully raised chicks.
The chicks have now been ringed under a special licence from the Department of Agriculture and Environment.
The permission is needed because it is an offence to disturb barn owls at the nest.
Ulster Wildlife's barn owl officer Catherine Fegan said the "rasping, snoring noise" made by hungry chicks can travel up to 100 metres.
"We're hoping the public will keep their ears open for barn owls this summer and report any soundings to us," she said.
The charity is hoping the noise will help it track nest sites.
Sightings of the bird are more commonly reported, but they can travel up to eight miles from their nests in the hunt for food.
Barn owls do not build nests, instead using old buildings, hollow tree trunks, quarry faces and occasionally the nest boxes provided.
His decision forces a by-election in his constituency of Richmond Park, where he will stand as an independent.
The Conservatives said they "disagreed" with Mr Goldsmith's decision but would not field a candidate against him.
The MP and former London mayoral candidate has long campaigned against expanding Heathrow.
The Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has ruled out any rethink of the policy to expand the airport.
The Department for Transport says a new runway will benefit passengers and boost the wider economy by up to £61bn, creating as many as 77,000 local jobs over the next 14 years.
The Richmond Park by-election is expected to take place in December.
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said his party would be "taking the fight" to Mr Goldsmith and "put huge pressure" on the prime minister to abandon her Heathrow plans.
Speaking at a school in his constituency, Mr Goldsmith said the contest would be a "chance to send a message to government".
He said: "I promised you if my party won the election, the third runway would be scrapped. And I wasn't making it up."
He added: "There was no small print, no expiry date, no ambiguity. It was a simple promise. And it mattered. I know it mattered, because the thought of Heathrow expansion fills most of my constituents with dread."
Mr Goldsmith said the government had chosen the "most polluting, most disruptive, most expensive option" but it had "also chosen the option with the least chance of being delivered".
He added: "The sheer complexity, cost and legal difficulties mean it is unlikely ever to happen. It will be a millstone round this government's neck for years."
But a Conservative spokesman said the government was "taking decisive action in the national interest to secure the UK's place in the global aviation market - securing jobs and business opportunities for the next decade and beyond".
He added: "That's why we have delivered on our manifesto commitment to respond to the Airports Commission's final report and have announced our support for the first full-length runway in the South East since the Second World War.
"We disagree with Zac about the need for a by-election in light of this decision, but understand his position. He has been a hard-working champion for the people of Richmond Park - as we know, he will continue to be if they re-elect him as their Member of Parliament - so we will not be putting up a candidate against him at this by-election."
Earlier Mr Grayling told the House of Commons: "The prime minister has been very clear that she does not want to force - and indeed I don't think the public would expect us to force - MPs with long-standing principles of disagreement over this to go against their own views."
Mr Goldsmith held his south-west London seat in 2015 with a 23,015 majority.
The Liberal Democrats, who held the seat until 2010, finished second.
Mr Farron said the party was looking to "build on our result" in the recent Witney by-election, where it reduced the Conservative majority in David Cameron's former seat to 5,702 - down by more than 20,000 votes.
He added: "A victory for the Liberal Democrats would put huge pressure on Theresa May to abandon her plans for Heathrow expansion and an economically disastrous hard Brexit."
His fellow Lib Dem, former Business Secretary Sir Vince Cable, said there was a danger, if Mr Goldsmith stood "with the support of the Conservatives but nominally independent", of the by-election becoming a "Zac Goldsmith ego-trip".
The 19-year-old was arrested in London on Wednesday on suspicion of malicious communication.
The post was written during the three-day search for the schoolgirl, who was found dead about a mile from her home in Mansfield.
Police are not treating her death as suspicious.
The force has not disclosed the wording of the Facebook post but it is believed to have included graphic details of a violent attack.
Hundreds of people volunteered to help the search for Amber, who went missing after what was described as a minor row with her parents about chores.
At the opening of an inquest into her death, coroner Mairin Casey said hanging was the "most likely" cause of death. The hearing was adjourned until a later date.
Father Gary Donegan said he was "humbled" to meet with Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness.
"I think what they're doing here is the leadership that we all asked for and we all hoped for," he said.
The priest said he and other community workers were told by police that threats had been issued against them.
Fr Donegan, from Holy Cross church in Ardoyne, said earlier this week that the threats were from a "dissident republican background".
Last month, he said he was aware of 25 individuals who had been threatened with paramilitary violence.
Speaking after the meeting with the ministers, he said: "I think this augurs well for the kind of leadership we want.
"For them to take time out of their very busy schedule to send this message out is a wonderful gesture," he said.
"I'm not a politician or a humanitarian or a social worker - I'm a priest.
"I'm actually meant to work for all aspects of the community and I will continue to do so and no-one will deter me.
"To these people who are allegedly making these threats, real or imagined, the reality is come and talk.
"I'm not afraid to speak to anybody, the door is open to you all."
Mrs Foster said that Fr Donegan was invited to the meeting because the first and deputy first ministers wanted "to stand in solidarity with him and indeed with all of those who have been the subject of threats from faceless people in north Belfast".
She added that Tuesday's independent report on paramilitaries in Northern Ireland offered "specific actions" that could help deal with "people who are using a badge of convenience for criminal acts".
Mr McGuinness said it was "absolutely ridiculous that people who are identified as so-called dissident republicans have been at the heart of threatening a man who has made an incredible contribution to life in the Ardoyne area".
"I think that those people who are involved in these threats need to stop and they need to recognise that they are totally counter-productive," he said.
"The last person in the world they will intimidate is Fr Gary, someone who has stood up for ordinary people in some of the most difficult circumstances that Belfast has ever seen."
President Barack Obama described Mr Stevens as "a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States".
"Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi... His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice," Mr Obama said.
In a statement to a US Senate committee after his nomination as ambassador, Mr Stevens wrote of his "extraordinary honour" at being selected for the post.
Mr Stevens had held two previous posts in Libya, as deputy chief of the US mission between 2007 and 2009 and then as envoy to the Transitional National Council (TNC) during the Libyan uprising in 2011, according to the US state department.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the Mr Stevens "won friends for America in distant places and made other people's hopes his own".
"He risked his life to stop a tyrant and gave his life trying to build a better Libya," she said.
"The world needs more Chris Stevenses," Ms Clinton said, adding that she had spoken to the ambassador's sister and told her that he would be remembered "as a hero by many nations".
In an article in a state department publication, Mr Stevens described arriving in Benghazi in April 2011 in a Greek cargo ship to make contact with the TNC.
Mr Stevens and his team facilitated "non-lethal military assistance" to the TNC, the article said.
In diplomatic cables leaked by the Wikileaks site, Mr Stevens had earlier described Col Muammar Gaddafi as "notoriously mercurial" and wrote that he could be an "engaging and charming interlocutor".
A speaker of Arabic and French, Mr Stevens had also been posted elsewhere in the region during his career, including Jerusalem, Damascus and Cairo.
He had worked in several posts in Washington, including at the state department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.
Born and raised in northern California, Mr Stevens had been an international trade lawyer in Washington DC before joining the US Foreign Service in 1991.
In a video posted on YouTube after his appointment, Mr Stevens talked of his experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer in North Africa after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley.
Mr Stevens speaks in the video of the two years he spent as an English teacher in the Atlas Mountains region of Morocco and how he "quickly grew to love" the area.
On a website run by ex-Peace Corp volunteers, Mr Stevens was described as the "quintessential diplomat" by Joan Mower, who was in his training class at the Foreign Service.
Mr Stevens had "an unflappable personality... He listens to people," Ms Mower said.
Police were called to Hawkeswood Metal on Aston Church Road in Nechells shortly before 09:00 BST.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said emergency services attended the site but the men were pronounced dead.
Det Supt Mark Payne described it as "a very traumatic incident". It is understood a sixth man managed to scramble free.
He was taken to Heartlands Hospital with a broken leg.

Community rallies to help bereaved families
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman 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 Press Association is reporting the men killed are believed to be Spanish nationals, originally from Gambia.
They were working next to a "large concrete structure containing metal" when it collapsed, said the fire service.
A specialist team of firefighters is working to recover the men's bodies using heavy lifting gear and cutting equipment.
A spokesman for the Hawkeswood Metal confirmed the deaths were caused by "the collapse of a partitioning wall within the company premises".
"At the present time it is not known why the wall 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 added.
The company, which is fully co-operating 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."
Assistant chief fire officer Gary Taylor said it was a "devastating incident for everyone involved".
Dozens of friends and relatives of the victims have been anxiously waiting outside the plant during the recovery operation.
One of them, Lang Dampha, says two of the dead were his lodgers - and that he had known one of them since childhood.
"I feel sad about it. We come from the same town, Noo-Kunda in Gambia," he said.
He said one of the men "expected to spend the rest of his life here" and his family were coming to the UK on Sunday after he bought tickets for them.
Another man in the crowd, Dantra Sillah, said his cousin was among the dead.
He said the five men who died were from different families, but all knew each other well through attending mosques in the city.
"It is very sad," he said. "We don't have any clear information."
Another onlooker, Manka Sawo, said: "It is a tight community. We pray in the same mosques… they are very hard-working.
"This will greatly affect the community. Yesterday we went to congregation with one of the men for Eid."
Mr Taylor said: "Once the police have finished their initial examination of the scene, our absolute priority will be to ensure that the bodies of those who have lost their lives are recovered in the most timely and safe way possible, and with the utmost dignity and respect.
"The scene is an extremely challenging one, involving significant tonnage of concrete and metal and a structure that is still unstable."
The Health and Safety Executive has been informed and it is understood officers are at the scene.
Det Supt Payne 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 from the scene, he said the victims had been working to recover scrap metal when the accident happened.
He described the collapsed structure as 12 to 15ft high and made of "concrete blocks" that were supporting the scrap metal.
"It appears the wall collapsed on the men and the scrap metal has fallen on top," he said. "It's a difficult and complex scene."
The officer said the recovery operation was expected to last most of the day, with witness statements and CCTV of the scene being gathered.
Police liaison officers are with the families of some of the men helping them to cope with what he described as a "tragic incident".
John Woodhall, from West Midlands Ambulance Service hazardous response team, described workers at the scene being "very upset".
"We've had to bring in heavy lifting equipment, there are a number of hazards we've got to resolve," he added.
Slav Angiyu, a truck driver, was on site when the accident happened.
He said: "The guys came over and said something had happened and we had to abandon the site. My heart goes out to the families of the victims."
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: "Shocked to hear about the tragedy in Birmingham. My thoughts are with the families of those involved."
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.
Sites in Port Talbot and Full Sutton, near York, have been earmarked, while two existing jails in Kent and Wigan will also be redeveloped.
Justice Secretary Liz Truss said modern jails would help cut reoffending.
But Peter Dawson, of the Prison Reform Trust, said "closing prisons, not opening them" was a better solution.
A final decision on the two new prisons depends on planning approval and "value for money", the government said.
The two jails being redeveloped - HMP and Young Offender Institution (YOI) in Rochester in Kent and HMP and YOI Hindley in Wigan - will both be shut while extensive rebuilding work takes place.
The construction programme will be offset by the closure of a number of older prisons, the details of which have yet to be confirmed.
In prisons in England and Wales, levels of violence, suicide and self-harm are up, staff numbers are down and complaints about overcrowding are widespread.
There have been a number of disturbances at jails in recent months and last year, thousands of staff walked out in protest over health and safety concerns.
Ms Truss has vowed to overhaul the system, improve the estate and recruit more officers.
"Outdated prisons, with dark corridors and cramped conditions, will not help offenders turn their back on crime - nor do they provide our professional and dedicated prison officers with the right tools or environment to do their job effectively," she said.
But Mr Dawson, who supports an overhaul of the prison system, criticised the plans, saying: "This massive investment in new prisons is not matched by a credible plan to reduce our reckless overuse of prison in the first place."
Shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon said: "Simply replacing one prison with another prison doesn't deal with the overcrowding crisis."
Last month the UK's newest prison, HMP Berwyn in north Wales, opened its doors to more than 2,000 inmates.
The £250m jail, Britain's biggest, contains a health and wellbeing centre, an education block, a sports hall and a multi-faith area.
Planning applications are under way to redevelop sites at the former HMP Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, and HMP and YOI Glen Parva, in Leicestershire.
Building work has begun on a new block at HMP Stocken in Rutland.
The proposed new-builds at Port Talbot and Full Sutton will create up to 2,000 construction and manufacturing jobs, the government said.

Khong Tam Thanh, Vu Thai Son, and Michael Le went on trial this week for raping a woman in a hotel room in the city-state in September.
The three men, who are in their early 20s, later pleaded guilty to reduced charges.
They received sentences of up to six-and-a-half years in jail and eight strokes of the cane.
The men flew in to Singapore last year with a group of friends for a stag party and to attend a music festival.
One of their friends later met the woman, a Malaysian, at a nightclub and she consented to have sex with him at his hotel room.
She later passed out, and the three men then took turns to have sex with her.
The woman woke up while Le was on top of her, and lodged a police report later.
The men were eventually found guilty of aggravated outrage of modesty and wrongful restraint of the woman under reduced charges in an apparent plea deal, reported local media.
The BBC's Karishma Vaswani in Singapore said the three men looked visibly relieved in court after the judge delivered their sentences.
Our correspondent says the case has generated some controversy in Singapore, with some on social media questioning how the Britons were able to get reduced charges.
Carillion has said it is re-working the contracts following a review.
The Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians (UCATT) said many staff were being paid via firms which took admin fees and costs.
A Welsh government spokesman said Transport Minister Edwina Hart ordered the review after the issue was raised.
UCATT staged a protest in November when it emerged that some staff working on the A465 Heads of the Valleys road expansion were being paid through so-called umbrella payroll companies.
Around 50 workers were affected and were losing around £60 a week in fees.
"A new dawn has broken, has it not?"
With these words, spoken to a cheering crowd of supporters as the sun rose over London's South Bank, Tony Blair ushered in the first Labour government in 18 years.
It was a typically snappy Blair phrase, yet also slightly hesitant, as if he could not quite believe what he had just done.
Blair was, by all accounts, a nervy companion on election night, refusing to believe he was on course to a stunning victory even as it was becoming obvious to all around him.
He did not share the euphoric mood of supporters. "I was scared," he later wrote in his memoirs.
It was a Labour landslide of historic proportions, handing Blair a Commons majority of 179, although the collapse in the Tory vote made it appear more dramatic. John Major's Conservatives had won more votes in 1992 - 14,093,007 - than Blair's 1997 total of 13,518,167.
But none of that mattered to the ecstatic crowd at the Royal Festival Hall, as Blair sketched out, in vague but confident terms, his vision of a modern, united country fit for a new millennium. A country for the "many not the few".
It is striking now to hear how much of his eight-minute speech was directed at the party's old guard.
"We have been elected as New Labour and we will govern as New Labour," he told his audience, as a warning shot across the bows of those who had opposed his "modernisation" of the party every step of the way.
Blair came to power at a time of almost giddy optimism, in contrast with what was to come. The end of the Cold War and booming economies in the West, driven by advances in technology, created a brief window where peace, stability and rising living standards looked like they might become the norm.
Britain was in the middle of a pop culture revival, built around swaggering self-confidence and semi-ironic celebrations of Britishness. The Union Jack was back - on Noel Gallagher's guitar and Geri Halliwell's mini dress at that year's Brit awards.
The Cross of St George had also been rehabilitated, as a new breed of middle class football fan cheered England to the semi-finals of the Euro 96 tournament.
Blair rode the "Cool Britannia" wave for all it was worth. At 43, the former lead singer of Ugly Rumours - his student band - badly wanted to be seen as the first rock and roll prime minister.
And for the briefest of moments, it seemed to work, as he played host to the stars of Britain's "creative industries" at a Downing Street reception weeks after taking office.
The voting public might have bought into New Labour's blend of Thatcherite free market economics and social justice, but it never had very deep roots in the Labour Party itself.
It was the product of a tight-knit group headed by Blair, Gordon Brown, Peter Mandelson and media chief Alastair Campbell.
Blair's first cabinet was a mix of old and new Labour figures (although the hard left was banished to the wilderness).
"Traditional values in a modern setting", as John Prescott, a man who straddled the new/old divide with more agility than he was often given credit for, would say with a knowing smirk.
They were a diverse bunch - with more women than had ever sat in a British cabinet before and the first openly gay cabinet minister, Chris Smith.
There were some big hitters, such as Robin Cook at the Foreign Office and Jack Straw at the Home Office, even though very few - including Blair himself - had ever sat behind a ministerial desk before.
And it quickly became clear that only Blair and Chancellor Gordon Brown really mattered when it came to the big decisions. But rather like Oasis's Gallagher brothers, their successes were quickly followed by growing stories about their rivalry.
But despite their increasingly fractious relationship - the TBGBs as they became known - there was no official split as they dominated Britain's political landscape for the next decade.
Ministers seemed to come and go with dizzying speed, as the cabinet reshuffle became Blair's signature move, but the Blair/Brown axis somehow stayed in place.
Twenty years on and only three MPs - Harriet Harman, Margaret Beckett and Nick Brown - from that first Cabinet line-up are still in the Commons.
Mo Mowlam, Donald Dewar and Robin Cook are no longer with us. Most of the rest, including the now Lord Prescott, Alistair Darling and David Blunkett, have taken up seats in the House of Lords.
Did they achieve what they set out to do?
The Blair government came to power on the back of relatively modest proposals on a pledge card brandished relentlessly through the 1997 election campaign. They were cutting class sizes, "fast track" punishment for young offenders, cutting NHS waiting lists, getting 250,000 under-25-year-olds "off benefit and into work" and "no rise in income tax rates".
But the new government did not lack ambition.
Labour's 1997 manifesto also included a minimum wage and plans for devolved government in Scotland and Wales.
And on the day after their election victory, Gordon Brown surprised everyone by handing control of interest rates to the Bank of England - a move that would have far-reaching consequences for the economy.
Blair was also determined, like many a prime minister before and since, to fix some of the country's longstanding social problems.
One of his top priorities was reform of the UK's social security system to make work pay. He appointed Labour MP Frank Field to "think the unthinkable" on welfare and promptly sacked him when he did just that (although it was Field's falling out with his boss Harriet Harman that probably sealed his fate).
Twenty years on and welfare reform remains a work in progress.
The gap between rich and poor remained more or less the same during the Blair years, according to analysis by the Resolution Foundation, although there was a big increase in pay at the top end of the income scale.
Education was Blair's other top priority. He oversaw a big expansion in higher and further education, and poured money into early years learning, as well as pioneering academy schools.
His first term was characterised by caution on tax and public spending, thanks to Labour's commitment to stick to tight Conservative spending limits for the first two years.
That changed after the party's second landslide election victory in 2001, when billions began to pour into the health service and education, on the back of a booming economy. Outcomes improved as a result.
But perhaps the biggest change that happened to Britain during his time in power was never explicitly spelled out in a Labour manifesto.
The UK, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland were the only EU nations not to temporarily restrict the rights of people from eight new member countries, including Poland and the Czech Republic, to live and work in their countries.
Blair's 2004 decision to open the door to East European migration was entirely in keeping with his values as an ardent pro-European, who had championed the eastward expansion of the EU and who believed globalisation and flexible labour markets were the answer to industrial decline.
The plentiful supply of cheap labour arguably helped the UK economy to expand without facing the issue of spiralling wages - and this in turn held inflation and interest rates down, contributing to a decade-long boom in property prices, adding to the feelgood factor among middle income home owners, even if fewer people could afford to get on the property ladder in the first place.
But it also sowed the seeds of discontent in Labour's heartlands, as growing numbers felt left behind and marginalised by the pace of change in their communities, and a growing anti-EU feeling began to take hold.
And then there was Iraq.
In 2003, Blair had drawn on every last ounce of his persuasive skill to make the case for joining the US-led invasion to MPs and the wider public.
He had become convinced of the value of military action in pursuit of humanitarian aims and the need to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the US, in the wake of 11 September, 2001.
But the subsequent failure to find weapons of mass destruction appeared to confirm many people's worst suspicions about him - that he relied too much on spin and was not to be trusted.
It did not prevent him from winning a third term, in 2005, but he was forced to hand over to Gordon Brown earlier than he had wanted, in 2007. Like Mrs Thatcher in 1990, he had won three elections but ended up being forced out by his own side.
The years that followed were not kind, as the incoming Brown administration, and the Ed Miliband Labour team that followed seemed to do their best to talk down the Blair years - and then there was the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war, as well as the ongoing consequences of the invasion, for the region and global security as a whole.
Blair's supporters point to his domestic achievements - the minimum wage and all the new schools, hospitals and Sure Start children's centres that were built during his time in power - and they insist that his reputation will one day recover.
But with Britain on its way out of the European Union, and the Labour Party back in the hands of the left, it seems like much of what Blair stood for has been swept away.
His centrist brand of politics, characterised as the Third Way, a philosophy shared by his friend and political soulmate Bill Clinton, has fallen out of fashion in many Western countries and even Blair's style of politics, with its rigid emphasis on "message discipline", looks antiquated in the more freewheeling age of social media.
And despite winning three general elections, with big majorities, making him Labour's most electorally successful leader, his name has become a dirty word among many current active party members, guaranteed to generate boos and cat calls when it comes up at meetings.
It is very far from the future he must have imagined for himself on that cloudless spring morning in May 1997.
Yet Blair's supporters claim that his vision of a self-consciously modern, multicultural, socially liberal country, has endured - and that David Cameron's six years in government were shaped by it.
It is there in the Conservatives' commitments on foreign aid and promotion of gay rights, they say, as well as Britain's continued commitment to a health service free at the point of delivery, funded by taxation.
And, at 63, the man himself is still in the game.
He has ditched his business interests - that had generated so much negative publicity for him - to work full time on promoting moderate, centrist policy solutions, fighting battles that 20 years ago he must have hoped would have been won by now.
Responding to the publication of Sir John Chilcot's inquiry into the war, Mr Corbyn said MPs had been "misled" in the run-up to the invasion.
He also apologised on behalf of Labour and called for more powers for the International Criminal Court.
David Cameron said lessons must be learned from the Iraq War.
He announced a two-day Commons debate into Sir John's long-awaited report.
Sir John said his report does not make a judgement on the legality or otherwise of the war.
But Mr Corbyn, a long-term critic of the war who voted against the invasion, said it had "long been regarded as illegal by the overwhelming by the weight of international legal opinion".
It "devastated Iraq's infrastructure" he said, and "fostered a lethal sectarianism".
"By any measure, the invasion and occupation of Iraq... has been for many a catastrophe," he said.
Going to war without a UN mandate was "profoundly dangerous", Mr Corbyn said, adding: "All those who took the decisions laid bare in the Chilcot report must face up to the consequences of their actions, whatever they may be."
He paid tribute to the late Robin Cook, who resigned from the government over his opposition to the war.
Mr Corbyn said that in his resignation speech, Mr Cook had said "in a few hundred words in advance of the tragedy to come what has been confirmed by this report in more than two million words".
In a speech later on, Mr Corbyn apologised to Iraqis, soldiers' families and Britons who feel democracy was "undermined" by the invasion.
He said: "Politicians and political parties can only grow stronger by acknowledging when they get it wrong and by facing up to their mistakes.
"So I now apologise sincerely on behalf of my party for the disastrous decision to go to war in Iraq."
He added: "Finally, we need Britain to join the 30 countries including Germany and Spain that already support giving the International Criminal Court the power to prosecute those responsible for the crime of military aggression."
Earlier, as he fielded questions from MPs, Mr Cameron, who as a backbencher at the time voted in favour of intervention, said: "Members on all sides who voted for military action will have to take our fair share of the responsibility.
"We cannot turn the clock back but we can ensure that lessons are learned and acted on."
He said the experience of Iraq should not prevent Britain from collaborating with the United States in future military action.
Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said the late Charles Kennedy, who led his party at the time had been "right all along" in his opposition.
Labour MP Ann Clwyd said Saddam Hussein had been in breach of UN resolution and killed thousands of his citizens.
She said: "I wish people would ask Iraqis what they think of the invasion, because many are grateful that we took the action that we did at that time."
Malaysian police named one as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, 18, and said he was probably migrating to Germany.
Interpol identified the other as Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza, 29.
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing went missing on Saturday, after taking off with 239 on board. The search has been widened.
Experts have said the presence of two people with stolen passports on a plane was a breach of security, but one that is relatively common in a region regarded as a hub for illegal migration.
Malaysia's police chief, Inspector General Khalid Abu Bakar, said the younger Iranian was "not likely to be a member of a terrorist group", adding that the authorities were in contact with his mother in Germany, who had been expecting her son to arrive in Frankfurt.
Speaking in Paris later on Tuesday, Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said the two men had travelled from Qatar's capital Doha on their Iranian passports, and switched to stolen Italian and Austrian passports to board the Malaysia Airlines flight.
"The more information we get, the more we are inclined to conclude it is not a terrorist incident," he added.
The authorities' statement supports an account given to the BBC by a young Iranian in Kuala Lumpur, who says he was a school friend of one of the men who boarded the airliner using stolen documents.
He says the friend and another Iranian stayed with him before taking the Malaysia Airlines flight, and that they had hoped to settle in Europe.
Reports from Thailand suggest that the tickets of the two men, routing them to Amsterdam via Beijing, had been bought through a Thai travel agent and an Iranian middleman.
Officials say they still have no idea what went wrong with the aircraft.
None of the debris and oil slicks spotted in the water so far have proved to be linked to the disappearance.
Four areas of investigation were focused on the possibility of human agency, the police chief said: hijacking, sabotage, psychological problems or personal problems with passengers or crew.
Two-thirds of the passengers were Chinese. Others were from various Asian countries, North America or Europe.
Relatives have expressed frustration at the lack of information about the plane's fate.
At least 40 ships and 34 aircraft are taking part in the search in the seas off Vietnam and Malaysia.
Search teams from Australia, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines, New Zealand and the United States of America are assisting.
Civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said on Tuesday that the search was being conducted "on both sides" of the Malay Peninsula.
The area has been expanded from 50 nautical miles (57 miles; 93km) from where the plane had disappeared - over waters between Malaysia and Vietnam - to 100 nautical miles.
Malaysia Airlines said it was considering the possibility that the aircraft had tried to turn back to an airport at Subang, near Kuala Lumpur, leaving its flight path.
The Welsh singer will perform at the Kelvingrove Bandstand in the city's west end on Saturday 5 August.
Also performing at Summer Nights at the Bandstand are Brian Wilson, Texas, Pixies and Hipsway, with tickets selling out within hours.
Tom Jones tickets will be on sale from 09:00 on Friday.
Sir Tom said: "It'll be a real pleasure to get back on stage at the wonderful Summer Nights at the Bandstand, it's a truly unique venue and the Glasgow crowds are one of the best in the world."
Mark Mackie, director of Regular Music, said: "We are delighted to announce the return to the Bandstand of the legend that is Sir Tom Jones.
"Sir Tom is one of the greatest stage performers that the world has ever seen and now we have another chance to see him 'up close' in this historic amphitheatre on the banks of the River Kelvin."
Other acts playing include KT Tunstall, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Seasick Steve, Arab Strap and Nick Lowe, Paul Carrack and Andy Fairweather Lowe.
But unlike a real nuclear war, with its mutually assured destruction, the participants were left standing after the exchange and had to slug it out for another hour.
What resulted was a muddled mess, with both candidates gaining the upper hand on occasion and stumbling in other moments.
Given that Mr Trump's campaign has been in freefall over the past 48 hours, anything less than a total Jack-Nicholson-at-the-end-of-A-Few-Good-Men style meltdown onstage has to be deemed a marginal success on his part, and so it was.
The prospect that any significant portion of what is sure to be a massive television audience emerged from the evening with any change of opinion, however, is unlikely.
If Mr Trump's overarching goal was to offer a performance that would allow him to cobble together an electoral majority on election day, then his sometimes glowering, often aggressive performance will fall far short.
Team Clinton, on other hand, has to view this as an opportunity missed. Her supporters were hoping for a political kill shot that would push Mr Trump's remaining supporters toward the exit and turn the last month of the campaign into a glorified mop-up operation.
While she landed some staggering blows, it was by no means a rout. Instead, both candidates will likely emerge bloodied but not beaten.
Mrs Clinton still has by far the easiest path to the White House, but she'll have to work for a few more weeks to earn it.
Here are some key moments from the debate, and how it played out for the two contenders.
Mr Trump's candid, lurid discussion of his (often unwelcome) sexual exploits has dominated the US political world for the last two days, and they were front-and-centre from the beginning of the debate. After a few feints and some pressure from moderator Anderson Cooper, the American public got the exchange they were all expecting and, quite likely, tuning in to see.
It began with Mr Trump asserting that "nobody has more respect for women than I do" - a response that had the reporters in the media work room snickering. Then Mrs Clinton took her shot.
"I think it's clear to anyone who heard [the tape] that it represents exactly who he is," she said. "Because we've seen this throughout the campaign."
And from there, the gloves came off. After dismissing his recording as "locker room talk" for which he was sorry, Mr Trump unloaded every bit of malicious allegation and rumour he had.
He essentially accused former President Bill Clinton of rape. He dinged Mrs Clinton's 1970s work as a public defender representing a rapist.
He ended it all by saying that as president he would order a federal investigation into Mrs Clinton that would end up with her imprisonment.
It was easily the most tawdry exchange in 56 years of televised presidential debates - one that will likely cast a shadow over US politics for years to come.
Mrs Clinton may have emerged the beneficiary, but the nation was the worse for it.
Reality Check: Fact checking the second debate
Mrs Clinton probably would have been satisfied if the debate had ended with that exchange, but that was just the beginning. The next few rounds would put her on her heels and prove that Mr Trump had learned a few lessons from his prior debate shortcomings.
Mrs Clinton was forced, once again, to explain her use of a private email server as secretary of state and, unlike the first debate, after saying she regretted the decision she quickly became mired in a more detailed explanation. Mr Trump then carved up her team's unsupervised deletion of emails on the server that they deemed not work-related.
"If you did that in the private sector, you'd be put in jail, let alone after getting a subpoena from the United States Congress," he said.
Mr Trump also went on the attack when Mrs Clinton was forced to respond to excerpts of her Wall Street speeches that were acquired by hackers possibly tied to the Russian government and released by Wikileaks.
Mrs Clinton - quite remarkably - didn't deny that the documents were authentic.
Instead, she opted to explain her comments about having different public and private policy positions by saying it was a reference to a film about Abraham Lincoln.
"Honest Abe never lied," Mr Trump shot back. "That's the big difference between Abraham Lincoln and you."
Time and time again, Mr Trump hammered Mrs Clinton on the trust issue - which polls show is one of her greatest weaknesses. He repeatedly cited her primary opponent, Bernie Sanders, who said she showed a lack of judgement.
Unlike the previous debate, he showed something akin to message discipline and left Mrs Clinton staggered.
#BBCTrending: Locker rooms, Honest Abe and Ken Bone
Part of the reason the middle portion of the debate was at times so challenging for Mrs Clinton was it often hinged on process questions - conflicts between the candidates and questions about their character. When the debate focused on policy, the gaps in Mr Trump's knowledge were readily apparent.
During a question about healthcare reform, Mrs Clinton spoke of her desire to reform and repair the law (a pipe dream if Congress stays controlled by Republicans, of course).
Mr Trump offered a word salad consisting of calls to repeal what he termed a disastrous law and replace it with "plans that are so good, because we're going to have so much competition" and talk of breaking lines.
He offered no details about how he'd ensure that pre-existing conditions could be covered without insurance mandates.
His discussion of tax policy boiled down to an assurance he'd cut rates "big league" and that Mrs Clinton would raise them.
When it came to US military policy in Syria, he ended up in a heated back-and-forth with debate co-moderator Martha Raddatz, saying he'd launch surprise attacks and asserting that Aleppo was already a lost cause.
He even made the rather astounding statement that he hadn't spoken with Mike Pence - who has a different view about the use of US military force against Syrian government targets - and that he disagreed with his running mate.
People may disagree with Mrs Clinton's answers on issues of foreign policy, taxes and healthcare reform, but at minimum they were coherent.
Another telling exchange during the debate was when Mr Trump was asked by an audience member to address the issue of Islamophobia.
The Republican candidate said it was "a shame", and then turned the answer into a discussion of the responsibility of American Muslims to report "when they see something going on".
He again repeated the unfounded allegation that neighours saw the San Bernardino attackers building bombs in their house but did not inform law enforcement.
When pressed by Raddatz on his proposed Muslim ban - which still is detailed on his campaign website - Mr Trump said it had "morphed into an extreme vetting".
He went on to detail a greatest hits rendition of his immigration policy. Syrian refugees could be a "Trojan horse". Illegal drugs are "pouring" over the US border with Mexico. Many undocumented migrants are criminals.
Mrs Clinton defended her call to increase the number of refugees admitted into the US and hit Mr Trump on his since-recanted Muslim ban.
"Donald has said, we're going to ban people based on a religion," she said. "How do you do that? We are a country founded on religious freedom and liberty."
Given that Mr Trump's proposal, while popular among Republican primary voters, is disfavoured by a majority of Americans, she wasn't going to let him off the hook easily.
As it happened: How the debate unfolded
Given everything that transpired over the 90 minutes, how the debate looked - including the style and demeanour of the participants - seems somewhat insignificant. On the other hand, it contributes to the lasting impression viewers take away from the proceedings.
Mr Trump's sniffling returned. His penchant for interrupting, while more restrained than the first debate, reared its head on repeated occasions.
Mrs Clinton followed more traditional town-hall rulebook of addressing the questioner and then retreating from view when her turn ended. Mr Trump, on the other hand, often lurked behind his opponent - visibly glowering at times when she spoke, swivelling back and forth or pacing at others.
In many ways, the "hall" in this town hall consisted of two candidates, two moderators and a room full of spectators. The audience - which often takes centre stage in this format - seemed almost like an afterthought.
They had a few chances to ask questions, but the real fireworks came at Raddatz and Cooper's instigation.
Mr Trump was more than willing to pick fights with those two, repeatedly complaining about not being given enough time and grousing at one point that it was "three against one".
While complaining about the media likely will win Mr Trump praise from his conservative base, it's seldom a winning manoeuvre.
Finally, let's welcome to the debate stage a discussion of the current Supreme Court vacancy - the filling of which, in all honesty, could be the next president's lasting legacy.
And there was even a brief mention of the environment and climate change, although it was couched in terms of energy policy.
Don't hold your breath to hear the candidates pressed on either of those topics again anytime soon - not when "locker room" banter, Russian hackers and decades old tax returns are still hanging in the air.
Between June and August, 796 people in England and Wales were reported to the programme for possible intervention.
National Police Chiefs' Council figures show more than a third of the total, 312, were aged under 18.
People identified as at risk of being drawn into terrorism are assessed and about a fifth of these are required to attend deradicalisation sessions.
Public bodies such as schools and local councils are legally required to spot such cases.
The people who end up on the Channel programme have been identified as potentially on a path to violent extremism.
Referrals are most likely to be made in the first instance by those working in public services dealing with vulnerable individuals, such as the education, prison and health sectors.
There were 327 referrals in June, 349 in July, and 120 in August.
There were more referrals over this period than for the whole of 2012-13 - the first year the scheme was rolled out across England and Wales.
It is more than double the level of referrals recorded in the first three months of 2014-15.
The Channel programme is designed to spot people at risk of being drawn into terrorism of all kinds.
People who are identified are then assessed, and in the past around a fifth of them have been required to attend intensive deradicalisation sessions.
This summer's statistic for England and Wales - 327 referrals in June and 349 in July - show the degree of concern among teachers and social workers about the prevalence of extremism.
More than 10 people a day were being referred, and even when the quieter month of August is included the average across the summer was eight a day.
Last week the Channel programme was criticised when a teenager from Blackburn - who was on the programme - was nonetheless found to be threatening his teachers and encouraging a terrorist attack at an Anzac Day parade in Australia.
The government has defined extremism as: "Vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs."
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan previously suggested that homophobia may be a sign that a pupil is at risk of becoming an extremist.
The government says the programme is "about ensuring that vulnerable children and adults of any faith, ethnicity or background receive support before their vulnerabilities are exploited by those that would want them to embrace terrorism".
Haras Rafiq, managing director at security think tank Quilliam, said the figures came after "the lure of extremism has increased over the last year both from an Islamist and far-right perspective".
"There is a symbiotic relationship between the two," he added.
"More effort needs to come from civil society so that we build resilience in our communities so that these numbers come down."
Security Minister John Hayes said: "As a country, we have a duty to challenge, at every turn, the twisted narrative that has corrupted some of our vulnerable young people.
"Referrals to Channel have increased, but only a small percentage of these go on to require specialist intervention support.
"We have dedicated sufficient resources to the programme to cope with demand and we will keep this position under close review."
The issue has been highlighted by the recent floods, amid a January that saw double the normal monthly rainfall in parts of England.
Prof Myles Allen presented evidence of a link between floods and climate change at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) meeting in Vienna.
It indicates climate change is increasing the risk of extreme weather.
It also suggests that insurance costs are likely to grow.
UK Met Office data showed that the prolonged and heavy rain was an extreme outlier in the context of their records of 20th Century rainfall. But scientists can go back further to judge just how extreme this wet winter was.
It turns out that it was the wettest January and wettest winter in the world's longest daily rainfall record, collected in Oxford from 1767 to the present day.
At the time, many people suspected a link to climate change, but any such claim has been treated with caution.
Plenty of studies assessed in the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report suggest that extreme weather events should be expected in a warming world, but even there, the assessment was that the link could only be made modestly, with "medium" certainty.
In just two months following the flooding, perhaps spurred on by the local impacts on the Thames Valley, the team at the University of Oxford has carried out an "attribution experiment" to attempt to test what, if any, links can be made between the world's changing climate and local events like the UK winter floods.
Dr Nathalie Schaller and Dr Friederike Otto, together with others from Oxford's Environmental Change Institute, compared rainfall results from climate models based on the current global (warmed) climate with results predicted for the world we would be in today had fossil fuels never been burned.
They had to run 12,842 simulations using today's actual climate with 25,893 computer calculations of a non-warmed world to be able to get enough data to draw out the differences.
The data was analysed through a citizen science project that is still active, at climateprediction.net, the world's largest climate modelling experiment.
The results showed a small, but significant, difference between the two scenarios. They reveal that the probability of extremely wet English winters has increased with global warming.
Climate change means that the chance of extreme weather like the January 2014 floods has increased by a small, but measurable, amount.
The group's results imply that any weather fluctuation that would previously have been thought of as a "one in 100-year event" has now risen in probability to one in 80 years, due to climate change.
Speaking about the results at the EGU General Assembly, a gathering of 12,000 researchers here in Vienna, Prof Allen, from the University of Oxford, pointed out that this was the first quantitative study of the role of climate change on the 2014 floods.
Commenting on the results, Prof Thomas Stocker of the University of Bern, Switzerland (and Co-Chair of Working Group 1 of the IPCC), said: "The risk [of extreme weather] has increased. It has shown movement in one direction only - to greater risk."
Quoted in a press release, Dr Otto stated: "Past greenhouse gas emissions and other forms of pollution have 'loaded the weather dice', so the probability of the south of England experiencing extremely wet winters again has slightly increased.
"We are working with collaborators, such as at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, to explore the implications of our results for river flows, flooding, and ultimately property damage."
Insurance companies are very interested to understand how weather is changing compared with historic records, which is exactly the type of information that Prof Allen's team has obtained.
Dr Schaller notes that the results must be understood in context, and are specific to the UK in winter. "It all depends on the region and season considered. Climate change might increase, decrease or have no effect at all on flood events," she told the BBC.
"Hirabayashi and co-workers, for example, showed that floods are expected to decrease with climate change in Central Europe. So our results are only valid for the southern UK and for winter months."

Ulster lie just out of the top four in fifth position, with an away trip to the Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium next up on 29 April.
The Irish province finish their regular season with a home interprovincial derby against table-topping Leinster at a sold-out Kingspan Stadium on 6 May, with both games live on BBC Two NI.
"Ulster have self-imploded consistently throughout the season and made far too many unforced errors in their defeat by Munster.
"So many times with no pressure on them they turned the ball over with bad passing or losing the ball in the contact area.
"Munster didn't do anything special but kept the pressure on and took their chances. Ulster proved to be the gift that kept on giving.
"Lack of consistency has been their problem throughout the season and they have paid a heavy price for it. Inconsistency from game to game and within 80 minutes.
"They have played some great rugby at times and look like they can blow teams away, but then they go back into their shell, make mistakes and let the opposition back into the game. Sometimes just falling over the line, sometimes falling short.
"If they fail to make the semi-finals they have only themselves to blame as they can't claim that any team played them off the park because they are so much better than them.
"Ulster are right up there in terms of talent but they just haven't delivered."
"The unforced error count from Ulster against Munster was far too high and they look short of confidence in terms of knowing what to do at the right time. They look very flustered at times.
"Cardiff did them a huge favour by beating the Ospreys so it is still within Ulster's capability to make the last four and it's all to play for.
"Realistically, a win over the Ospreys is essential but Ulster will enjoy going to the Liberty Stadium at this time of year. It's a real hard footballing surface and they will go there with the intention of playing.
"That defeat by the Blues dealt a potentially huge psychological blow to the Ospreys and they will be without Alun Wyn Jones and possibly Dan Biggar, who are two crucial weapons for them."
"It sometimes feels like Ulster don't quite know how they want to play but if they can put in a decent performance for 80 minutes I can see them beating the Ospreys and then they would still be in with a chance going into the Leinster game.
"Ulster don't have the biggest pack in terms of ball carriers so sometimes you are left wondering how they are going to get across the gain-line, which is vital to attacking play.
"The bonus point picked up against Munster may yet prove crucial and we saw last year how Ulster went to the Ospreys and turned them over, albeit the Ospreys had nothing to play for on that occasion."
Eddie O'Sullivan, Tony McWhirter and Ian Humphreys were speaking on BBC Radio Ulster.
It opened its first bricks and mortar store in Seattle in 2015, with a second to follow this summer in San Diego.
Speaking at its annual shareholders meeting, Mr Bezos also promised new services for Amazon Prime members.
He said he wanted Amazon users to feel "irresponsible" for not signing up to the membership service.
Mr Bezos gave no details about the new services, although it has been rumoured that Amazon plans to launch its own-label food and home products.
Currently users who belong to Amazon Prime, which has an annual fee of £80 ($99), can get unlimited next-day delivery at no extra cost as well as access to a video and music streaming service and e-reader Kindle's lending library.
"Our goal with Amazon Prime... is to make sure that if you are not a Prime member, you are being irresponsible," he said.
"We're definitely going to open additional stores, but how many we don't know yet," he added. "In these early days it's all about learning, rather than trying to earn a lot of revenue."
As Amazon mulls expansion into the real world, struggling clothing retailer Gap has said that it would consider allowing its clothes to be sold on Amazon.
"To not be considering Amazon and other would be - in my view - delusional," said chief executive Art Peck at the company's annual investor meeting in San Francisco.
According to a Morgan Stanley report, Amazon is the second-largest clothes retailer in the US, with only supermarket giant Walmart ahead of it.
The claim: The average current account holder could save £92 a year, rounded to £8 a month, by switching current account provider.
Reality Check verdict: The savings are for an average customer. It is likely that the savings available will be greater if you make more use of overdraft facilities and if you bank with one of the banks that have the biggest market share in current accounts.
Are you an average customer? It depends largely on whether you use overdraft facilities, whether you tend to keep a balance in your current account and how good an account you are currently using.
The CMA report looked at data from thousands of customers.
But with 75% of UK current accounts provided free if you have money in your account and do not go overdrawn, where is that saving coming from?
So, looking at a comparison with the five cheapest accounts available, an average British customer spending between one and three days a month overdrawn could save about £6 a month by switching, while someone spending four to seven days a month overdrawn could save £11.
There are smaller savings to be made if you tend to be in credit, with the "savings" the result of interest you could have earned with other accounts.
If you are always in credit by up to £500, then you can only save £3 a month, while even someone usually having between £10,000 and £20,000 in their accounts would save only the average £8 a month by switching.
The CMA did find out what proportion of customers in its research fell into each category, but it redacted this information for British customers in the final report.
It did give the proportions for Northern Ireland though, with 22% of customers being overdrawn one to three days a month, 18% staying in credit by up to £500 and 21% keeping between £500 and £2,000 in their current accounts. All other proportions were in single figures.
Also, clearly, if you already have one of the best available accounts, then the savings available will be smaller.
The CMA found that the bigger savings were available to people who currently had their current account with one of the banks with the biggest shares of the market.
The report refers to the "big five" in current accounts as@
The figures are for the average annual savings expected in the fifth year after switching, with any switching incentives divided over that period.
There are considerably bigger savings to be made with accounts that charge monthly fees but offer additional products such as travel insurance or phone insurance, but that assumes you want the services on offer.
Former Torquay United winger Niall Thompson scored a hat-trick, taking his tally to five goals in his last four matches.
Les Afful was also on target for City, who move up two places to 16th in the sixth tier of English football.
Truro's last victory came on 24 September, when they won 2-1 at Wealdstone in National League South.
North Wales Police denied rumours on social media of a shooting in Wellington Road on Monday evening.
Ch Insp Martin Best said there had been an "incident" but gave no details.
"We would like to reassure the local community that officers remain in and around the area of Wellington Road which remains under police cordon," he added.
The four people arrested remain in police custody.
Carlin might have become a double Olympic silver medallist in Rio last year, but just like anyone else this week she has to book a place in the World Championships which take place in Budapest in July.
The Commonwealth and European champion competes at the six-day British Championships in Sheffield which start on Tuesday, 18 April.
Along with Welsh rising star Chloe Tutton, Carlin and Davies have various Olympic, Commonwealth, European and World Championships appearances between them, but the hard work has to start all over again.
"It is about getting a place on the team for the World Championships," said Carlin.
"I am looking for some good races. When you are racing the best in Britain you want on to put a good race and it's tough competition."
Carlin was crowned European and Commonwealth champion in 2014, and two silver medals in the 400m and 800m, behind American sensation Katie Ledecky, ensured she achieved an Olympic dream.
Carlin is now planning how to follow on from the most memorable year of her career in Rio and at the age of 26, with 11 years of swimming on the international stage behind her, it seems her appetite for success remains undiminished.
"I spoke to some other athletes who said they knew they were done as they weren't enjoying it anymore," reflected Carlin.
"I never had that. That never came across my mind. I still enjoy what I do, love competing and racing. That has always had a big part in my heart.
"It's still tough getting up early for training and de-icing the car and diving into a freezing pool, but it makes it all worth it the end when you have the highs."

The long-term goal after the World Championships is a fourth Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast next April after her previous appearances in Melbourne, Delhi and Glasgow.
Two medals in India in 2010 were followed by two more in Glasgow, which included an 800m freestyle gold.
"The prize of a fourth Commonwealth Games was always a driving force," said Carlin.
"That has always had a big part in my heart, the Commonwealths was the start of my career.
"I missed out on London 2012 Olympics, so Glasgow felt like the home Games I never had."
Carlin was joined on the top step of the podium in Glasgow by fellow Welsh swimmer Davies who won the 50m backstroke.
"I have fond memories of the Commonwealths," said Davies.
"It is the one time I have a chance (to swim for) for Wales on an international stage which is my favourite thing and I am so passionate about that.
"Maybe other people don't see it as the ultimate thing to do with the Olympics and the World Champs slightly higher up, but I love it."
Davies, also 26, reached the semi-final of the 100m backstroke in Rio and was part of the 4x100m medley relay squad which reached the final. She also has not considered quitting.
"It wasn't always the intention to carry on (after Rio) but I didn't want to go into the Olympics thinking this would be my last ever swim," Davies added.
"That would have added extra pressure. When I went to Rio and swam a personal best time, I couldn't leave the sport when I love what I do and am still improving."
This is despite Davies not being included for funding by British Swimming which also happened after the London 2012 Olympics.
The Swansea swimmer, who has spent part of the off season training in Turkey, was philosophical about her funding exclusion.
"Funding is a big support when it comes to having pay your mortgage," said Davies.
"You need money to get by and support your training.
"But I don't swim for money. I never have and don't think many people do.
"It's not known to be a big earning sport. We do it because we love it and want to be as good as we can be."

Henry Huggins was injured near his flat in Luton, on 8 August 2013 and died in June 2015.
Stuart Docherty, 42, of Townley, Luton, who in 2014 admitted causing grievous bodily harm, has now been found guilty of murder.
James Early, 43, who was convicted of causing actual bodily harm in 2014, has been found guilty of manslaughter.
They will be sentenced at Luton Crown Court later this month.
Mr Huggins was initially assaulted by Early in a dispute about his dog outside his home in Whipperley Ring.
He was punched to the ground, before Docherty arrived and stamped on his head "causing catastrophic brain damage", prosecutor Stuart Trimmer QC told the jury
He remained alive in hospital "in a persistent vegetative state" for almost two years.
"Some describe it as being alive in name only," said Mr Trimmer.
Following the verdict, Det Insp Fraser Wylie said: "Although both men had already been found guilty previously in relation to this atrocious attack, they refused to accept the blame for his death, pleading not guilty to murder and manslaughter and putting Henry's family and friends through the trauma of a further trial.
"This was a sickeningly violent and completely unnecessary assault.
"Despite Henry already being on the floor as a result of Early's punches, Docherty jumped several times on his head with clear intent to cause him maximum harm."
Docherty is currently serving a sentence of 12 years for grievous bodily harm in relation to the assault.
Early, of Whipperley Ring, Luton, had previously served a two and a half year sentence for the actual bodily harm of Henry Huggins.
One of Russia's most wanted rebels, his death has been wrongly claimed on several occasions by Russian security services. The latest report, however, comes from a website considered sympathetic to Caucasus militants fighting Russian rule.
In July 2013, the self-styled emir of the Caucasus Emirate called on Islamists to target the Sochi Winter Olympics.
Although no attacks took place during the Games themselves, two bomb blasts in December 2013 close to the volatile Caucasus region where he operated killed more than 30 people in the southern Russian city of Volgograd.
He said he was behind the Moscow airport bombing on 24 January 2011, which left 36 people dead and 180 injured, and the March 2010 suicide bombings on the city's Metro, in which 39 people died.
Mr Umarov is also said to have ordered the November 2009 bombing of a train from Moscow to St Petersburg that claimed 26 lives.
For years Mr Umarov has been seen as the leader of the Islamist insurgency in the North Caucasus.
He spearheaded several high-profile rebel raids, and fought in both wars against Russia since 1994.
He also served as Chechnya's security minister during its short-lived independence between 1996 and 1999.
He became the commander of the "south-western front" of the rebel armed forces in 2002, and is believed to have about 1,000 fighters under his command.
Mr Umarov is said to have played a key role in organising an attack in the neighbouring republic of Ingushetia in June 2004, in which several dozen people, including the acting Ingush interior minister, were killed.
He has also been accused by Russian security forces of leading the 2004 school siege in Beslan, which resulted in more than 300 deaths. The allegation has never been substantiated, although hostages have said he was the only attacker not to wear a mask.
In Chechnya, he is suspected of being behind a string of kidnappings for ransom, and is said by officials to have been involved in killing Chechens who were co-operating with the pro-Kremlin government.
In a video statement in March 2010, Mr Umarov called the Moscow Metro bombings "a legitimate act of revenge for the continued assassinations of civilians in the Caucasus".
"I told you, the Russians, that now you only see the war on your TV screens, and you don't respond to the crimes of the FSB [security agency] bandits and to the crimes of [Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin himself."
After the Moscow airport bombings in 2011, he said he would no longer target civilians. But that changed with his 2013 video declaration targeting the Sochi Olympics, because he said the Russians were holding the Games on the "bones of our ancestors".
Mr Umarov rose up the Chechen rebel hierarchy after Russian forces killed his predecessor, Khalim Saydullayev, in 2006 and rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov in 2005.
Shamil Basayev, the mastermind of the Beslan siege, also died in 2006.
In his first public statement shortly afterwards, Mr Umarov vowed to step up attacks against Russian police and military targets.
Then, in October 2007, a proclamation was issued naming him the emir of the new "Caucasus Emirate" - a purported Islamic state spanning several republics in the Russian North Caucasus.
Mr Umarov described Western countries as the enemies of all Muslims, and announced his intention to install Sharia law across the region.
It was the first time a Chechen leader had echoed al-Qaeda's rhetoric, and he explicitly linked his movement to international Islamist groups.
Analysts said the move reflected the growing influence of non-Chechen members on the republic's militants, and the transformation of the movement's focus from separatism to fundamentalism.
Several members of the Chechen government-in-exile resisted the development. Akhmed Zakayev swiftly declared himself the exiled government's prime minister and called the radicalisation of the movement a "personal tragedy".
Mr Umarov was born in 1964 in the southern Chechen village of Kharshenoi, and earned an engineering degree from the local university.
He is married with at least six children. Two of his brothers, Issa and Mussa, have been killed in combat.
The fate of his father, Hamad, captured several times by Russian forces, is unknown. His wife and child were also taken hostage, but were released in 2005 following media pressure.
Like most Chechen rebel commanders, Mr Umarov has been declared dead before.
Most recently, Russian-backed Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said in January 2014 that security forces had intercepted a conversation by insurgents that indicated he had almost certainly been killed.
In March 2011, reports said he could have been killed in a raid by Russian special forces on a base in Ingushetia, in which 17 militants died, including a close aide.
But despite the claims, Doku Umarov has proved elusive.
In a statement that followed the Moscow Metro bombings, he purportedly said: "To anybody who calls me a terrorist, I will just laugh in their face, be they politicians or journalists."
Almost 12 whole calendar months.
And the sum total of face-to-face negotiations between the two sides to date? Zero.
Perfectly explicable in political circles, though baffling for much of the general public.
That's why, on both sides of the Channel, 8 June is a red-letter day.
Not only is it general election time for the UK, but here in Brussels it means finally starting Brexit negotiations - once the new British government is in place.
The first day of EU-UK Brexit talks is expected to be 19 June. And they will focus on who will meet, how often, in which country, discussing which aspects of Brexit, in which order.
And how prepared are the two sides?
Well, there's a definite aura of smugness emanating from the European Commission. Their man, Michel Barnier, is the EU's chief Brexit negotiator.
While the UK seemed to tear itself apart with recriminations hurled between Leavers and Remainers after the EU referendum, with politics and press coverage then becoming caught up in general election fever, the EU was quietly getting its Brexit ducks in a row.
It struck me once again this week just how far apart the two sides' pre-negotiating styles are.
Theresa May's government insists it has a Brexit plan - but prefers not to divulge it.
Instead, British voters are doused in rhetoric: Brexit means Brexit, No deal is better than a bad deal, and so forth, repeated by Prime Minister May in a televised interview just this Monday.
The very same day, the European Commission produced groaningly meaty documents with draft negotiating details on two of its key Brexit priorities: the post-Brexit rights of EU citizens in the UK and of UK citizens in the EU, and the financial settlement the EU insists Britain pays before leaving.
The documents contain no real surprises, but as one of my colleagues noted, "no detail seems too small".
A stark reminder that the EU has been mulling all this over for the past 11 months. It's been busy game-planning. It's got in the lawyers.
In the draft papers, the EU even calls for the salaries of native English teachers at elite European schools attended by civil servants' children to be included in Britain's exit bill.
Also listed are the multiple legal acts from which the EU is calculating the UK's financial liabilities, though the final sum is notably absent. The EU wants Britain to agree on a methodology, to work out the precise exit bill in the first stage of negotiations.
Brexiteers desperate to "take back control" will be angry to see that Brussels wants the European Court of Justice to maintain jurisdiction in disputes involving the rights of EU citizens remaining in the UK after Brexit.
It's this sort of detail that could well lead to confrontation with the UK government from the start - so why publish the minutiae in the first place?
Two answers to that one:
With so many players involved on the EU side, the likelihood of press leaks are manifold, so Brussels is going for full disclosure in the name of "transparency".
Importantly for the UK, absent from any EU document is a mandate for Mr Barnier to negotiate post-Brexit relations with Britain, including a future trade deal, during the first phase of talks.
So insist though the British may, it is not in his discretion to start parallel negotiations.
This will be tough for Britain's new government to accept. The time pressure is huge.
Under EU rules, the Brexit deal must be agreed by March 2019 at the latest, and that's just the divorce, never mind the complexities of sorting out a new UK-EU relationship.
Also of note - no matter what some high-profile British politicians like Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson might insist - there is in fact no wiggle room in any EU paper published to date to allow UK cherry-picking from the single market, along the lines of 'we want to be part of the single market for cars and financial services, but we don't want to accept freedom of movement'.
Alongside the smug ambience at EU HQ as regards Brexit there is also a growing sense of coldness.
"We've gone through the five stages of mourning in rapid succession," is something you're often told here. "From huge sadness at the UK departing, to anger, remorse and now matter-of-fact acceptance."
Unlike normal trade deals between the EU and third countries, Brexit from the EU perspective is about destruction, not creating something new and filled with potential.
Whatever emerges from Brexit will be worse, it's felt, than what existed before - and many in the EU want Brexit to be difficult.
Brussels is more than aware that Euroscepticsm is alive and well across the continent. If liberal governments like President Emmanuel Macron's in France disappoint voters, for example, populist nationalists could yet win the day.
Mainstream EU leaders are anxious to demonstrate that exiting the club doesn't pay. Brexit has to hurt, they think, to damage the arguments of those in other countries pushing to leave the bloc,
From now until March 2019, the UK exists in an uncomfortable twilight zone - legally still an EU member, emotionally already viewed as an outsider.
The pre-negotiations rhetoric these 12 months has been bullish and threatening on both sides.
That led to a plea from a former judge at the European Court of Justice: for the EU and Britain's new government after 8 June to keep in mind that this is a divorce, not a war.
It was Myanmar's first such rescue. It has faced strong criticism for not doing enough to aid those stranded at sea and stem the migrant crisis.
Most stranded migrants are Rohingya fleeing persecution in Myanmar; others are economic migrants from Bangladesh.
More than 3,000 have landed in neighbouring Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, which have offered aid.
Myanmar, also known as Burma, said these migrants were rescued on Friday morning.
Photos posted on the information ministry's Facebook page showed scores of bare-chested men crammed in the hull of at least one boat.
The posts referred to the migrants as "Bengalis" - Myanmar's term for illegal Bangladeshi migrants - and said the boats were in Bangladeshi waters off Myanmar's Rakhine state, waiting for more to arrive in smaller vessels.
The government has promised humanitarian assistance to those who have suffered at sea.
But ministers have stressed that only verified Myanmar citizens will be allowed to stay. Myanmar insists that these latest stranded migrants are not.
The BBC's Jonah Fisher in Yangon said that for several weeks it was clear that at least five traffickers' boats were in limbo just off the Burmese coast, unwilling to cross the Andaman Sea - but equally reluctant to let their victims go for free.
The rescue came after Myanmar officials met Malaysian and Indonesian foreign ministers, and the US Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on Thursday to discuss the situation.
Malaysia also began searching for migrant boats on Friday, a day after Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that they would conduct rescue missions.
A US military spokesman told the Associated Press news agency that it was prepared to assist in patrols in the area.
Malaysia and Indonesia have agreed to stop towing boats out to sea and will provide temporary shelter to those who have landed.
Thailand only said it would stop rejecting boats.

The tweet from @PlymouthUKIP said: "South Yorkshire police says PC Hassan Ali who was under investigation in relation to child abuse in Rotherham has died in a car crash KARMA!"
PC Ali, 44, died in hospital nine days after he was hit by a car in Sheffield.
A UKIP spokesman said the tweeter had been rebuked.
Mr Ali was being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) over allegations made about him, the BBC understands.
South Yorkshire Police said his death was being treated as a "tragic accident". Officers are continuing to investigate the collision.
A UKIP spokesman said the karma tweet was deleted "rapidly" after it appeared on Friday.
The twitter account @PlymouthUKIP has also been deleted.
"It does not reflect what the party thinks," he said.
"We believe in justice and innocence until proven guilty."
The spokesman said that the tweet was down to a party volunteer's "freewheeling amateur past".
"We can understand there is a great deal of anger about the investigation but it is not appropriate to vent it in that way," he added.
Comments on twitter included from @AndrewReverand: "The #ukip #karma comment demonstrates yet again just how little class and integrity this party contains."
@ThomasevansUKIP tweeted: "What on Earth were you thinking with that tweet earlier?"
A report published in August 2014 said about 1,400 children were abused by gangs of men, mainly of Pakistani origin, from 1997 to 2013 in Rotherham.
In September, the IPCC said it was investigating 10 South Yorkshire Police officers referred to the watchdog by the force over the handling of child sexual exploitation in the town.
The latest report in the wake of the scandal branded the council "not fit for purpose" and it will be taken over by government commissioners.
Number 10 rejected the idea despite Health Minister Anne Milton insisting the policy was "outdated", "ineffective" and too expensive.
For Prime Minister David Cameron, it should save him being labelled a "milk-snatcher" like his predecessor Margaret Thatcher.
But is this political move based on sound science?
The Nursery Milk scheme, which allows children in approved day care to receive 189ml or a third of a pint of milk free each day up until their fifth birthday, dates back to the wartime years of 1940.
The idea was to give children an extra nutritional boost at a time when food was in short supply and rationed.
But today, food is in plentiful supply and childhood obesity is on the rise.
Ms Milton has said there is "no good evidence" that free school milk improves the health of our nation's children.
She believes the £50m scheme should be scrapped and instead low-income families should be given extra vouchers to buy not just milk, but fruit and vegetables too.
The government, however, maintains that free milk for under fives should stay.
So why is milk deemed so important for children?
Part of the reason is that it is what experts call "a nutrient dense food", which means it provides a large amount of nutrients essential for growth, yet with relatively few calories.
Milk is a good source of protein, zinc and vitamins A, B2 (riboflavin) and B12, and makes a valuable contribution to the intake of iodine, niacin and B6.
It is also rich in calcium, which children need for strong bones. A third of a pint of milk provides half the daily recommended amount of calcium a child aged four to six years needs.
But dairy foods are not the only sources of calcium. White bread, fish, leafy green vegetables, dried fruit and nuts, and seeds provide it too.
The challenge, however, is getting children to eat enough of the right foods to get the nutrients.
Bridget Benelam of the British Nutrition Foundation said: "It can be difficult for parents to get their children to eat lots of green, leafy veg.
"While other foods such as tofu, soya beans and green leafy vegetables also provide calcium, it is more difficult for the body to absorb and it may be difficult for young children to consume enough of these foods to provide all the calcium they need."
This is why many advocate providing free milk in schools, arguing that it is the "original fast food", being a quick and nutritious snack.
With one child in three in Britain going to school without breakfast, a glass of milk in the morning can provide a much-needed boost, says the School Milk Campaign.
But milk also contains saturated fat, which is linked to weight gain and heart disease.
Experts still recommend whole milk for children between the ages of one and two years.
But they say from two years onwards semi-skimmed milk can be gradually introduced.
Skimmed and 1% milks are not suitable for children until they are at least five years old because they have less vitamin A and are lower in calories.
However, not all children will like or be able to tolerate milk.
A small number of children - 2-3% of UK infants - are allergic to milk and will need to avoid it completely, says the Dairy Council.
And some people as they get older have difficulty digesting lactose, the sugar found naturally in milk.
It is estimated that about 5% of the UK population - mainly people from Asia, Africa, India and the Middle East - has lactose intolerance.
For them, drinking milk causes bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhoea.
So while it may not be the best policy for some, experts tend to agree that it may be the best option for most.
Professor Ian Gilmore, of the Royal College of Physicians, told the BBC's Today programme that it was hard to gather cast iron evidence to support the policy.
But, nonetheless, he said it did make sense in public health terms to give free milk to young children and said it is a policy he backs.
GP Dr Sarah Jarvis agrees. She says: "It's hugely valuable if they are not getting it elsewhere.
"This is the real key. We are not in the same position that we were in 1940. There is no such thing as a child in this country whose parents absolutely cannot afford to give them that [milk].
"But there are so many pressures on parents and I think understanding from some parents about nutrition is so poor that many children are just not getting it.
"In terms of building bones it's absolutely key."
She said that for children who do not get a balanced diet high in fruit and vegetables and foods like fish, milk was the only real way of them getting enough calcium. | Three Britons have been sentenced to jail and caning in Singapore for having sex with a drunk and unconscious woman.

Tourist guide John Alasdair Macdonald captured his image on a compact camera near Dochfour at about 21:00 on Sunday.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency got calls from people in the Highlands, Dumfries and Galloway and Cumbria concerned it was a distress flare.
Mr Macdonald described his images as a "fluke".
Mr Macdonald said: "I was taking some new pictures to put on my Facebook page using a Sony RX100 compact camera.
"It was a beautiful, clear night and I got some nice pictures but capturing the meteor was a fluke. I will never take a picture like that again."
Mr Macdonald, who runs the business The Hebridean Explorer, said he had seen messages on social media of a meteor being seen elsewhere, including Sleat on Skye.
Meteor sightings were also said to have been made from North Uist, Oban and Mull.
A "meteorite" mistaken for a distress flare also sparked a lifeboat search operation off the English coast on Sunday.
Maryport Coastguard Rescue Team said it received numerous reports of a moving red object over the sea between Workington, Cumbria, and the Isle of Whithorn in Dumfries and Galloway.

The deal for the 17-year-old to be fast-tracked into F1 is part of an investment in Sauber by a group of Russian companies.
A statement from the Swiss team said they would set up a development programme for Sirotkin "to prepare him as racing driver for the team in 2014".
A spokesman added: "The goal would be to have him in our car next year."
Sirotkin races this year in the Formula Renault 3.5 series and lies eighth in the championship, with a best result of second place.
This extensive co-operation will showcase Russian innovation at the pinnacle of motorsport. At the same time, the Sauber F1 Team will have a solid foundation to increase its competitiveness on a long-term basis.
On the face of it, he does not qualify for the 'super-licence' required to be an F1 driver, and would have to win the Renault 3.5 championship to ensure he did.
However, there is a catch-all clause that Sauber could use to argue his case, which states a driver must have "consistently demonstrated outstanding ability in single-seater formula cars".
Sauber's race drivers this year are German Nico Hulkenberg, who is expected to move on next year, and Mexican Esteban Gutierrez, who also owes his presence in the team to sponsorship from his home country.
Sauber have been in financial trouble for some time and the deal with a group of Russian companies secures their future for the next few years.
The spokesman said there had been no change in shareholding at the team "for the time being", with founder Peter Sauber retaining two-thirds of the shares and team principal Monisha Kaltenborn one-third.
The Sauber statement said: "This extensive co-operation will showcase Russian innovation at the pinnacle of motorsport. At the same time, the Sauber F1 Team will have a solid foundation to increase its competitiveness on a long-term basis."
Sauber will also promote Russia's inaugural grand prix in Sochi in 2014.

But ahead of the first Welsh Pro12 derby in which Ospreys host Cardiff Blues on Friday, Jones backed the dual deals.
"It's a great invention," said Jones.
"Hopefully you can keep that player, look after him and you'll have them for longer."
Jones signed an extension to his national dual contract (NDC) in January 2016 and is among a number of Welsh players whose deals mean 60% of their salaries are met by the WRU with the rest paid by their teams.
However, the two-time British and Irish Lions tourist admits players can be "walking contradictions" over the limits on game time they sign up to when accepting dual contacts.
"There are advantages and disadvantages for the players and supporters alike," said Jones.
"Obviously players want to play a lot of rugby.
"We're walking contradictions at times. We want to play a lot of rugby, but we don't want to play too much rugby and we want to be available for all the big games.
"But then there's times when we might have to sacrifice that because of game limits etc, etc.
"But also from the supporters' point of view if you're paying money for a season ticket you want to see all the best players - or all the perceived best players - playing all the rugby all the time.
"But where we find ourselves with the game now we can't expect to do that because there are so many internationals, so many domestic games, hence the inception of the NDC.
"So the NDCs are advantageous for that."
Ospreys team-mates Dan Biggar, Dan Lydiate and Rhys Webb are among the other Wales international on national dual contracts.
Jones says players who are at a stage at which they are becoming established will benefit most from being on dual deals.
"If you're a 24 to 25-year-old player that's getting on to an NDC and you're established or getting established at a regional or breaking into your international career, you'll be playing in front of the supporters for longer, albeit less games per year, but you'll have them for longer in the country," he said.
"So if we can be as positive and see the foresight that actually we'll potentially get a player for longer, then it's great.
"But obviously we can be short-sighted in that respect sometimes because we're available for less [overall time]."
Ospreys defence coach Brad Davis hopes Wales flanker Lydiate will be declared fit after his recovery from shoulder surgery to face Blues.
The Swansea-based team are aware of the ball-carrying threat posed by Blues' number eight Nick Williams and Lydiate's defensive strengths could be a boost for the hosts.
"Dan's progressing well and hopefully he'll come into selection and give [head coach] Steve [Tandy] a few headaches in terms of the team he wants to pick Friday night," said Davis.
After their 9-7 defeat at Ulster on the weekend, Ospreys lie fifth in the table, two points behind fourth-placed Welsh pacesetters Blues.
Sergey Andreyev said Poland had blocked a coalition against Nazi Germany several times in the run-up to war.
He also said the USSR's invasion of Poland in 1939 was not an aggression.
Relations between Poland and Russia have been poor in recent years, with Poland one of Moscow's sharpest critics over its intervention in Ukraine.
The row comes a day after Poland's ambassador in Moscow was summoned over the vandalising of graves of Soviet soldiers in a Polish village.
Poland has also condemned the desecration at the Milejczyce cemetery.
In an interview with a private Polish TV station aired on Friday evening, Mr Andreyev said that Poland had stood in the way of an alliance against the Nazis.
"Therefore Poland partly bears responsibility for the catastrophe that ensued in September 1939," he said, referring to the Nazi invasion of Poland.
He appeared to be referring to Poland's refusal to allow the transit of Soviet troops through its territory.
Mr Andreyev also said that the Soviet invasion of eastern Poland later that month was not an aggression but "to ensure the safety of the USSR" when the outcome of the German invasion of Poland was already clear.
The ambassador added that relations between Poland and Russia were at their lowest ebb since 1945, because Poland had frozen political, cultural and humanitarian contacts.
The Polish Foreign Ministry said Mr Andreyev had "undermined historical truth".
"We take it as a lack of respect for the memory of the victims of the NKVD [Soviet secret police]," it said in a statement, referring to the repression which followed the Soviet invasion.
The move comes after last week's suspension of a referendum process seeking to remove Mr Maduro.
The government said the vote was meaningless, referring to an earlier court ruling that had declared parliament illegitimate.
President Maduro later accused MPs of attempting to stage a "coup".
What is behind the crisis in Venezuela?
He said a meeting of the country's defence council would be held on Wednesday.
The further rise in tensions comes despite the fact that on Monday both the government and the opposition agreed to hold crisis talks.
During Tuesday's session, MPs also voted for President Maduro to appear before parliament in a week's time.
"We will show clearly to Venezuela and the world that in this crisis, responsibility for breaking the constitution has clearly been Nicolas Maduro's," parliament majority leader Julio Borges said.
Reacting to the vote, Vice-President Aristobulo Isturiz said that "legally, the National Assembly does not exist".
He was referring to the Supreme Court's ruling that parliamentary resolutions were null and void until the removal of three MPs linked to vote-buying accusations.
The parliament's trial of Mr Maduro is unlikely to result in any sort of action against him, the BBC's Will Grant in Central America reports.
The country's military top brass also delivered an address on national television supporting the Socialist government. The army said it was watching the political situation carefully.
Mr Maduro, a former bus driver and union leader, is blamed by the opposition for Venezuela's dire economic situation. The oil-rich country is facing widespread food shortages and spiralling inflation.
The opposition is trying to hold a recall referendum that would allow Mr Maduro to be removed from office - but electoral authorities suspended the process last week.
The official reason was allegations of fraud during the gathering of signatures for the first petition required to enable the referendum.
However, opposition lawmakers have long accused the National Electoral Council of being under the government's control.
In an emergency parliamentary session on Sunday, MPs approved a resolution accusing Mr Maduro's government of engaging in "an ongoing coup d'etat".
The Organization of American States (OAS) also said it was "profoundly worried" by the electoral authorities' decision.
Hundreds of students protested on Monday in San Cristobal, a city near the Colombian border. Nationwide protests are planned for Wednesday.
Mr Maduro has accused the opposition of having links to foreign states, the US in particular, and of seeking to overthrow him to "lay their hands on Venezuela's oil riches".
Keane said last week that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho had been talking "garbage" and that he was "sick to death" of the Portuguese.
Coleman said his "ears will be closed" to anyone but Republic counterpart Martin O'Neill this week.
"He's a shrewd and intelligent man and he's done a great job," said Coleman.
"If Martin says something, I'll pay attention to that as he's one of the managers I respect the most."
Wales go into Friday's game at Dublin's Aviva Stadium third in the group, four points behind the table-topping Republic.
Media playback is not supported on this device
And, though tensions will be high, Coleman is not expecting any incidents on the touchline.
"Sometimes it gets the better of you, but nothing's going to happen," he said.
"I've only ever reacted if the opposition manager or coach has said something derogatory about one of my players.
"If it's going to get a little bit spiky, it's not really my style. I'll be concentrating on what we need to do against the Republic."
Coleman says his team must match their opponents' "togetherness".
"They've probably had more gifted teams, but this is a together team who work for each other," he said. "That's down to Martin."
Liverpool teenager Ben Woodburn has been included in the squad, and the 17-year-old could win his first cap from the bench.
But Wales' main dangerman remains Gareth Bale - and Coleman says the Real Madrid forward has made a full recovery from ankle surgery.
Bale completed Real's 2-1 La Liga win at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, but it was only his sixth appearance since the end of November.
"It's always a worry because when he got injured he was out for three months," Coleman said.
"I was out in Madrid last month and having a chat and watching him train put my mind to rest.
"He's an absolute specimen, a machine. He won't be undercooked. He's ready."
The famous Cold War nuclear warplane crossed Woodford Aerodrome near Stockport, where it was made in the 1960s, at about 15:20 BST.
It will be grounded later this month after backers withdrew support.
Huge crowds have gathered to catch a last glimpse of the plane on the first of a two-day tour of the UK .
The bomber, introduced as part of the UK's nuclear programme during the Cold War, saw action during the 1982 Falklands War.
A part of the RAF since 1952, the last remaining model left service in 1993 according to organisers Vulcan to the Sky.
The XH558 bomber will make a flypast tour over the southern half of the UK on October 11 as police warned against making efforts to see it take off and land at Robin Hood Airport near Doncaster.
It will then make one final flight towards the end of October, details of which are yet to be confirmed.
His climbing partner, Jamie Fisher died of hypothermia. My brother, now 45, survived but had to have all four limbs amputated to save his body from septic shock.
Since then my "limbless mountaineer" sibling has been attempting to push back the boundaries of what people with disabilities can achieve.
His latest venture has been to encourage other people with disabilities to try rock climbing.
He was one of the organisers behind Scotland's first paraclimb competition, held at the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena near Ratho on Sunday. I went along to see what he was up to.

When you walk into the world's largest indoor climbing arena, you can't fail to be impressed. Built into an old rock quarry, it boasts thousands of square metres of wall with routes of up to 28m high.
At first glance I can see that the walls are busy with people carefully, methodically and gracefully scaling the walls.
Then I notice some of the climbers have a prosthetic leg or a missing arm. On the ground are a couple of discarded wheelchairs, and a guide dog left to watch.
As we walk around my brother causally reels off introductions: Keith, an amputee base jumper; Alan, who lost a leg in motorbike accident; Cody, a US war veteran...
Jamie adds quickly: "But I don't want to imply rock climbing is just for people into extreme thrills."
As if to illustrate his point, I turn round and see a boy who looks about three or four, climbing on a wall behind me.
There is something very natural about climbing. It presents a physical challenge, as well as an exercise in problem solving.
It's an individual sport which can be done at any level, yet it also involves selfless team work between climbing partners.
There's not much difference between able-bodied climbing and paraclimbing.
Many paraclimbers can simply compensate for their disabilities through ingenuity and gutsy determination.
But there are also adaptive devices available, such as special harnesses and pulley systems, and prosthetic climbing feet for leg amputees.
"Paraclimbing is entirely inclusive," explains Jamie. "We don't care if your disability is a physical one, or whether it's a mental disability.
"I believe everyone should have the chance to try climbing and see if it's something they enjoy, and even to be able compete at the highest level.
"Two weeks ago I wasn't sure if anyone would show up, but there are about 30 people taking part in the competition another 30 or so have turned up for the 'come and try' session."
Ryan MacDonald, 33, a successful wheelchair tennis player, is one of those trying climbing for the first time.
After trying out the pulley system, he says he'll definitely be coming back with his kids.
"It's so refreshing to see that the guys here are so open," he says. "Even if someone comes along with a disability that doesn't seem to be catered for, they'll make sure it happens for them.
"A lot of times those people would have been left as spectators.
"With disability sport, it's sometimes just seen as a separate disability club, but this is something you can come and take part with your friends and family, which I think is absolutely massive for people."
I watch Kat Langton stand up from her wheelchair and walk tentatively over to climb a wall, leaning on both her boyfriend and coach.
The 22 year old has cerebral palsy, which affects her muscle control and movement.
"For me climbing is basically freedom," she tells me later. "I get on the wall and it's like I'm free, just like everyone else.
"Someone actually once said to me that I don't look any different from anyone else when I'm on the wall, and that is the essence of climbing for me."
She's right - on the wall her limb movement looks incredibly strong and controlled.
Cody Elliott has such a "big fire" in his heart for paraclimbing that he's travelled from California especially for the event.
Three years ago the 24-year-old was blown up by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in Afghanistan.
The US veteran suffered facial injuries and his left leg was amputated above the knee.
He says: "I've seen the worst it can get for people in terms of pain medication and not wanting to live life again.
"Just last year in 2013 I was in an bad place, but since I found rock climbing it's saved my life.
"I truthfully believe in my mind it can save other people's lives.
"If I could come all the way from the States and influence a couple of lives here, hopefully they can take that into their own community."
Cody's spirit of comradeship and support is evident in all the competitors.
Even though these climbers are taking part in a competition, they shout up encouragement and offer suggestions on how to master tricky moves. Everyone cheers when someone reaches the top of a climb.
The biggest cheer of the day goes to Ethan Brown who is trying climbing for the first time.
The six-year-old from Musselburgh has brittle bone disease, which has prevented his bones from growing properly and means he has to use a wheelchair.
The slightest of knocks can cause his bones to fracture. Understandably his parents find watching him scale the wall a nail-biting experience.
The arena holds its breath as Ethan towers higher and higher above his wheelchair, laughing, kicking and shouting: "higher" each time he edges further into the sky.
Watching the pure joy on Ethan's face proves to me that everyone should indeed have the opportunity to try rock climbing.
A day earlier, Jamie and the other event organisers held a paraclimb training day for climbing wall instructors from throughout Scotland.
"Things don't end here today," he says. "We want anyone with a disability to be able to go to their local climbing wall and have their needs catered for.
"We want to ensure paraclimbing continues to grow as a sport in Scotland."

Toure, 35, has not travelled to Kazakhstan for Wednesday's third qualifying round first leg after joining Celtic on Sunday.
However, the registration allows him to feature when Astana visit Celtic Park next week.
Boss Brendan Rodgers is without several central defenders for Wednesday's game.
Injuries mean Kristoffer Ajer, Dedryck Boyata, Jozo Simunovic and Erik Sviatchenko will not feature in Kazakhstan.
Eoghan O'Connell, 20, played and scored in Celtic's friendly with Leicester City on Saturday and Efe Ambrose and Mikael Lustig are other options at the heart of defence for Rodgers.
Toure previously worked with Rodgers at Liverpool and won Premier League titles with both Arsenal and Manchester City.
Two civilians and two marines were killed when North Korea shelled Yeonpyeong island on 23 November 2010.
A memorial hall was opened on the island and military exercises held.
North Korea had warned it would respond to any "provocation", saying it regretted not sending the island "to the bottom of the sea".
"It is the steadfast will of the service personnel not to miss the opportunity to do so if the warmongers perpetrate another provocation," an unidentified army spokesman was quoted as saying by state news agency KCNA.
The South Korean drills involved marine and naval forces but did not include live-fire exercises. North Korea said the attack in 2010 was in response to a live-fire exercise that led to shells falling in its territorial waters.
A commemoration ceremony was also held in Seoul.
Yeonpyeong island, home to a military base and a small civilian population, lies 3km (2 miles) from the disputed maritime border in the Yellow Sea and 12km from the North Korean coast.
It has been the scene of inter-Korean naval clashes over the years.
The Cheonan, a South Korean warship, sank in the disputed border area in March 2010 with the loss of 46 lives. Seoul says Pyongyang sank the ship - something North Korea denies.
Councillors are set to approve investment in a number of primary and secondary schools across the city.
Plans include improved dining facilities at eight primary schools for the introduction of free school meals for P1-3 pupils, and provision for under-threes at seven primaries.
The council is also currently advancing plans for several new schools in Dundee.
The council's city development committee will decide on Monday whether to award tenders for the works, including more than £900,000 for the improved dining facilities.
Other proposed work includes a new science laboratory for Menzieshill High School, a £480,000 replacement heading system and a new fire alarm at Longhaugh Primary, curtain walling replacement at Forthill Primary, new lifts and ramps at Braeview Academy and improvements to the gymnasium at Craigiebarns Primary.
City development convener Will Dawson said the work would benefit hundreds of pupils across the city.
"There has been a huge investment in new schools around the city in the last few years," he said.
"We are also committed to ensuring that every school building in the city is a safe and inspiring learning environment for our pupils.
"These improvements are part of an ongoing programme of maintenance and includes provision for new initiatives for free meals and nursery places for two-year-olds from workless households.
"Building conditions in our schools are monitored on an ongoing basis and there are regular reports to the council."
The last school estate review sent to the education committee in September 2013 judged several city school buildings to be in poor condition, "showing major defects and/or not operating adequately".
However the majority of these, including six primary schools, two academies and a nursery school, are being replaced as part of an ongoing £55m new-build programme, including the £31m Harris Academy.
The 29-year-old joined from St Helens in 2015 and has featured 16 times this term for a side currently second.
Flanagan was also named vice-captain of Ian Watson's side for 2017.
"His form would have attracted interest from elsewhere but he's a really important part of what we do," said head coach Watson.
"He is one out main leaders, he's uncompromising in defence and he's a really good ball-playing loose forward. He's part of the glue that holds this team together."
Some 20 teenagers originally faced murder charges following the 2010 murder of Sofyen Belamouadden under a law increasingly being used to tackle gang violence.
After four trials lasting 21 months, three have been convicted of murder, five of manslaughter, including Bayode, 12 of lesser charges and three cleared.
The case is the latest example of how the law of joint enterprise can be deployed to successfully prosecute crimes involving large numbers of people.
But some campaigners argue the law is a "lazy" option for prosecutors and can lead to miscarriages of justice.
The centuries-old law allows a whole group of people to be prosecuted for the differing roles they played in a murder. There is a version of the law in Scotland, although it is applied slightly differently.
Historically, joint enterprise helped authorities deal with duels, enabling them to prosecute the duellers, their supporters and doctors who treated the wounded.
To make a normal murder charge stick, prosecutors need to prove the defendant intended to kill.
But the terms of joint enterprise are different - and at the heart of it is the concept of foresight.
Prosecutors must prove the defendants were involved in some kind of common criminal enterprise and, in the course of their actions, the individuals could have foreseen that one member of the group might kill or inflict serious harm.
In other words, if three friends were walking down the road and one stabbed a passer-by, the others could not be prosecuted if they genuinely had no idea that their companion was carrying a knife or intended to use it.
But if the trio looked for trouble, and each person knew that one of them was carrying a knife as a weapon, then each could be convicted over its use because they could have foreseen the consequences.
The most well-known and controversial conviction involving joint enterprise was that of Derek Bentley in 1952, for the murder of a policeman.
He was convicted of the shooting and subsequently hanged. But he did not pull the trigger and the killer was too young to be sentenced to death.
Bentley was in fact convicted on his disputed words - "Let him have it" - and on the joint enterprise principle that he could have foreseen the outcome. After a long campaign, the Court of Appeal quashed the conviction in 1998.
A more recent case went all the way to the House of Lords.
Who is locked up under joint enterprise?
In 2004, Tyrone Clarke was stabbed to death in a gang fight in Leeds - and four men were convicted of his murder. They lost their appeal after the Law Lords concluded they could be found guilty by joint enterprise, even though there was no evidence that any of the four had inflicted the fatal injuries.
The legislation has been used increasingly in recent years to deal with knife crime among teenage gangs as it allows police to cast a net widely and deal with walls of silence.
Metropolitan Police Commander Simon Foy said this was a reflection of detectives' growing experience in investigating such murders.
"I've heard it called a lazy law and that we're just scooping people up, but it's a painstaking account of everyone who has been involved. That description is not accurate," he says.
But campaign group Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association (Jengba) says the law promotes miscarriages of justice. It has been approached by 338 people who say they have been wrongfully convicted.
"Many of whom are serving life sentences for something they did not do, did not foresee what was going to happen nor intend to happen, but have been convicted by an archaic law that is being abused to get convictions and not justice," co-ordinator Gloria Morrison says.

Mr Ashley has been criticised before for the grip he has as a majority shareholder, on the firm - famous for selling top trainers on the cheap and indestructible oversized mugs.
The Institute of Directors says it has warned already that Mr Ashley holds too much sway and the IoD's senior advisor on corporate governance, Oliver Parry says that there is no "effective check on [Mr Ashley's] power".
Now his firm's handling of the collapse of one of its businesses, fashion chain USC, is also under scrutiny, being described at the Scottish Affairs Committee as "well dodgy".
When approached by the BBC, a spokesman for Sports Direct declined to comment.
USC, which sells clothing aimed at the younger market, ran into trouble last year after a row with a supplier. The company was losing £20m a year and collapsed into administration in January, with the loss of 83 jobs at the USC distribution depot in South Ayrshire, provoking some indignation in Scotland.
When the Scottish affairs committee met last month it was determined to find out more.
Members were told, though, that Mr Ashley simply wasn't available to answer parliamentarians' questions at any point during the month of March. Mr Ashley's legal representatives then took exception to the committee's habit of publishing correspondence, citing "concerns over confidentiality" and going as far as to invoke the European Convention on Human Rights.
Keith Hellawell, the company's chairman, was sent in Mr Ashley's place. But he told the committee he and the board hadn't known anything about the collapse of USC until the day before it folded. But, he said, chief executive Dave Forsey had begun "consulting" with administrators Duff and Phelps as early as 14 November. Dr Hellawell insisted the firm "didn't want" USC to fold.
Perhaps even more controversially USC hasn't shut up shop. Almost immediately after it went into administration the fashion retailer was bought by another part of Mr Ashley's business empire, through a so-called pre-pack administration, and is trading again. But with less debt, according to MPs.
Conservative Simon Reevell told the Scottish affairs committee: "Sports Direct had a company that was losing money, they now have the same company where the debt liability that had been incurred has gone."
"At one level, to use a technical phrase, this all looks well dodgy," he added.
The committee chairman, Labour's Ian Davidson, lamented how the process left the taxpayer "done over" in having to meet redundancy costs and unpaid taxes. Dr Hellawell countered that by saying the company had paid more than £1.3bn in tax to date.
This latest controversy builds on earlier concerns.
The IoD previously criticised a £200m payment to employees, including Mr Ashley. The company didn't disclose his share of the award. But "we expect as a majority shareholder he got the majority of that," said Mr Parry.
Paying a dividend, which would have been shared among all shareholders, may have been more appropriate, said Mr Parry.
There are even more questions swirling around the collapse of USC.
"Could they have done something about it? And could they not have told shareholders and staff?"
If there had been a failure to inform the board sooner, this would suggest a lack of respect for the board's authority, he said.
Workers were given even less notice, 15 minutes, before they heard they'd lost their jobs, the committee was told.
To be sure, Mr Ashley has built a very clever business model. As well as owning stores, Sports Direct owns rights to popular brands such as Slazenger, Dunlop and Lonsdale. Good margins on these products mean he can afford to sell big brand products from the likes of Nike and Adidas at a greater discount than competitors, luring in shoppers.
So when a customer pops in for a pair of Nike trainers, they can also be tempted to buy a Slazenger T-shirt or a pair of Lonsdale shorts with a fatter margin for Mr Ashley.
Short leases on its stores mean it can be more flexible with demand, quickly shutting up shop and moving elsewhere if sales drop.
It's a formula that has brought riches to shareholders in the long run. Those who bought shares in 2007 for £3 apiece when Mr Ashley floated his firm would have more than doubled their money today. Luckier punters could have snapped up shares for as little as 32p in the crisis in 2008 and sold them last year for more than £8.
The firm has also been criticised for its zealous use of zero hours contracts, which don't guarantee regular work. Mr Hellawell told MPs that 4,300 of the firm's 19,000 staff were permanent. The rest of its workers are employed on zero-hours contracts.
In terms of what must be done at Sports Direct, the IoD's Mr Parry said: "It's hard to be prescriptive, but power lies with shareholders" who must voice concerns at the firm's annual meeting on 10 September.
Investors, employees and customers alike can watch Mr. Ashley to see whether this time he'd like to defend himself against these new allegations
In the Channel Islands the upkeep of churches is paid for through Parish Rates, which everyone has to pay.
But Leo Thomas said he finds it "extremely questionable" he should pay for a church that "openly discriminates against the gay community".
The Anglican Dean of Guernsey said he would respond to Mr Thomas privately.
More on the church rates story, and other news
Mr Thomas wrote the open letter to ask to be removed from paying church rates "due to the Church of England's institutional homophobic stance on gay marriage".
He wrote: "As a person classed as a sinner and not worthy to get married in a church why should I be obliged and forced to pay a penny towards the costs of said church?
"If the Church of England was a private company, I probably would have a strong case of discrimination in court."
He said this year he would donate the £7.94 he paid for his 2016 church rates to a local charity instead.
The central government on the island is the States of Guernsey, but each parish also has its own douzaine.
Parish Rates, separated in owner and refuse rates, are charged to cover the cost of services provided by the douzaine, which are determined by the value of the owner's property, similar to Council Tax.
Services provided include rubbish and recycling collection, licensing, boat moorings, highways, planning permission and the upkeep of parish churches.
Both the Anglican Dean of Guernsey the Very Reverend Tim Barker, and the constables of St Andrew's Parish, where Mr Thomas lives, have declined to comment.
Same-sex marriage in Guernsey was approved in December but the law has not yet come into effect, but is expected to this summer.
Deputy Peter Ferbrache said he is against any form of discrimination and sympathises with Mr Thomas, but said he disagrees with withholding rates contributions.
"I regard the church buildings as an important part of our heritage. They should be preserved. "
Wendy Fawell, 50, from Otley, was killed when a bomb was detonated outside the Manchester Arena as an Ariana Grande concert was ending.
Ms Fawell travelled to the event on 22 May with friend Caroline Davis Osborne and their children.
The mother-of-two was last seen in the foyer area shortly before the blast.

Family and friends of Ms Fawell attended a funeral service followed by a private function.
Ms Fawell and Ms Davis Osborne were waiting to collect their children when the attack took place.
Her daughter, Charlotte Fawell, 15, was taken to hospital in Oldham, with Ms Davis Osborne left seriously injured.
Adam Fawell, her 29-year-old son, previously said: "Mum was a wonderful woman, she'll be sadly missed.
"I would like to add how much it means to us what everybody at home and in Manchester have done to support us at this time."
Ms Davis Osborne, who wore bright clothing to the funeral in tribute to her friend, described Ms Fawell as "very caring and loving".
She said: "I think about it all of the time, when I go to bed I just see me and Wendy walking into the foyer, that's all I see when I shut my eyes.
"I can't see an end to how I feel at the moment, I'm still finding it really difficult to comprehend what happened and Wendy isn't coming back."
Staff at Oswald's C of E Primary School, in Guiseley, where Ms Fawell had previously worked, posted on Twitter expressing their "deep sadness" after the attack.
Many were held for months or even years without charge, the report found.
Interrogators often questioned them about their male relatives' activities rather than the crimes in which they themselves were implicated, it said.
The government called the claims "over-exaggerated", but admitted a number of female detainees had been mistreated.
"We have some limited illegal behaviours which were practised by security forces against women prisoners," a spokesman for the human rights ministry said. "Iraq is still working to put an end to prison abuse."
He added that those responsible would be held accountable.
More than 4,500 women are currently being held in prisons across Iraq, according to the 105-page report, titled "No One is Safe" - The Abuse of Women in Iraq's Criminal Justice System.
A vast majority of them are Sunni Muslims, but the abuses documented by HRW showed "women of all sects and classes" were affected.
Many of those interviewed described being "beaten, kicked, slapped, hung upside-down and beaten on their feet, given electric shocks, and raped or threatened with sexual assault by security forces during their interrogation".
Sexual violence was so commonplace that one employee at a women's prison facility was quoted as saying: "We expect that they've been raped by police on the way to the prison."
Contrary to Iraqi law, most of the female detainees had no access to a lawyer before or during their interrogations, the study found.
"Iraqi security forces and officials act as if brutally abusing women will make the country safer," said Joe Stork, HRW's deputy Middle East and North Africa director.
"Both men and women suffer from the severe flaws of the criminal justice system. But women suffer a double burden due to their second-class status in Iraqi society."
In late 2012, Sunnis took to the streets demanding that the Shia-led government release women who were being held without charge or because of acts of terrorism allegedly committed by their relatives.
But HRW said Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had failed to carry out his promised reforms of the criminal justice system.
Several judges who tried terrorism cases alleged that some investigative judges were still committing serious violations of suspects' due process rights because of their "collusion with security officers and because of the considerable influence Maliki exerts over the judiciary", the report said.
Iraq has seen a surge in violence over the past year. Government data says more than 1,000 people died in January, which would be the highest monthly toll for almost six years.
HRW warned that the security forces' heavy-handed tactics and alleged abuses in Sunni-dominated areas were "undermining the government's military efforts" to combat insurgents linked to al-Qaeda who have attempted to take control of the cities of Falluja and Ramadi.
Hetty from Kent thanked the police for their work in a letter and Zane from Oxfordshire drew a picture of PC Keith Palmer as a "police angel" after the officer was murdered on Wednesday.
Hetty wrote: "Dear Police. You are doing a fantastic job. Thank you for keeping our country safe today and taking care of the people that have been hurt in London and keeping the prime minister safe. Your job is tricky but thank you for being brave as a police officer. Thank you so much. Love from Hetty x."
Her mother Sue was surprised by the impact the news story had on her daughter.
"She was listening to the news coverage on BBC Radio in the back of the car after we picked her up from an after school club," says Sue.
"She didn't make much comment initially. Then she said she wanted to know what happened. We explained to her that some people think it's OK to hurt others for what they believe in.
"She also asked how a policeman died and we told her it was because he was doing his job, keeping everyone safe.
"As we pulled up at home, she declared she was going to write a letter to say thank you to the police - she obviously took in more than I realised.
"We are hoping to post it but have only just got an address.
"Hetty just wants to know that some 'real police' as she puts it, have seen her letter."
Zane, from Oxfordshire, drew a picture of PC Keith Palmer as a "police angel" on Thursday after asking his parents about the London attacks.
His mother, Rawan, hopes that Mr Palmer's widow and children will see the picture.
"He saw the news coverage and asked at dinner 'who is the bad guy and good guy?'," Rawan told the BBC.
"I didn't want to scare him by talking about terrorism so I just said a bad guy killed a few people and a policeman tried to save people and is now a hero."
Zane then asked: "Is he an angel?"
He went to his bedroom where Rawan says she thought he was practising karate or playing.
"When I went upstairs two hours later, I saw scraps of paper and colours - he wrote a poem for Keith Palmer and made a drawing of him."
The poem reads:
"Yesterday I was a policeman that looked after you.
"But now I'm a police angel that will watch over you.
"Always and all through
"Whistle whistle, London I love you!"
Zane memorised the poem and read it out at school to his class on Friday.
"He wanted to make the policeman look like he's flying too - he's a very emotional boy and he believes that all good people who die will become angels," Rawan explains.
"I was very shocked at the beginning, I didn't realise that he had grasped that much about the story.
"It touched me deeply and we really wish PC Palmer's widow and family can see it."

Mr Juncker also said the UK could divide opinion among EU leaders once Brexit negotiations begin.
The former Luxembourg prime minister became president in 2014, with the support of 26 out of 28 EU governments.
But the UK was fiercely opposed to his election, as he advocated deeper EU integration.
In his interview with broadcaster Deutschlandfunk (in German), Mr Juncker said he had had "a fine election campaign" in 2014, "but there won't be a second one, because I won't be putting myself forward as a candidate for a second time".
He also said he thought the EU's remaining 27 members could struggle to stay united as they negotiated with Britain over the terms of its exit from the EU.
"Do the Hungarians and the Poles want exactly the same thing as the Germans and the French? I have serious doubts," he said.
The European Commission is responsible for proposing new EU legislation, drawing up the EU's budget and supervising EU funding.
Paul Collingwood completed his 32nd first-class ton on day four as the visitors declared their first innings on 607-7, a lead of 150 runs.
England all-rounder Ben Stokes produced a devastating spell of bowling, taking three wickets in 16 balls for 12 runs, as Surrey collapsed to 65-3.
But Ben Foakes (36 no) and Curran (54) held firm to ensure the hosts secured the draw, with four wickets in hand.
Having resumed on 75, former England batsman Collingwood breezed his way to a club-record 22nd century for Durham, in an innings which included 11 fours and a six.
With the away side looking for a first win of the Championship campaign, Stokes trapped Arun Harinath lbw before having Rory Burns caught behind and Kumar Sangakkara caught at second slip.
Surrey's top-order struggled and when Scott Borthwick took a stunning catch in the slips to dismiss Jason Roy off Brydon Carse, the hosts were still trailing by 11 runs with only five wickets remaining.
However, Foakes and Curran's 83-run sixth-wicket partnership helped Surrey to 244-6 at stumps, giving them their second draw of the season and Durham's third.
Surrey bowler Tom Curran told BBC Radio London:
"We came in today in a decent condition, they batted well to get a lead and credit goes to the Durham bowlers - they bowled well to get in a position where they thought a win was on the cards.
"We came out fighting and in the grand scheme of things we are pleased with the draw.
"When I came in, Ben [Foakes] and I broke it up into small 10-15 minute intervals, they came hard at us.
"Ben Stokes is a true competitor, you couldn't get the ball out of his hand and he kept coming in on a tough wicket to bowl on and I enjoyed the battle with him today."
Twenty three trees on Western Road in Crookes, Sheffield, planted by school pupils in 1919 are under threat.
Ex-Green Party leader Natalie Bennett told the crowd Sheffield City Council must put "history before profit".
Seventy one councillors voted for the issue to be referred to a cross-party group.

Ms Bennett, the prospective parliamentary candidate for Sheffield Central, said: "This is, as has been said, a war memorial. This recollects the hideous slaughter - the slaughter we've all said we must not forget.
"These are hugely important trees... this is a place to say we [the council] are going to save Sheffield trees - we are going to put history before profit."
Contractors plan to remove 23 trees on Western Road as part of the council's street maintenance programme, Streets Ahead.
The council debate was triggered by an online petition of more than 5,000 signatures calling for a rethink.
During the debate, 71 councillors voted for the issue be referred to a cross-party group and one councillor abstained.
Originally 100 trees were planted on Western Road by pupils from Westways School and 60 remain, along with the original plaque.
The trees are a recognised war memorial, and resident Alan Story told the BBC prior to the meeting: "It is 98 years later and the trees are perfectly fine. They need maybe some pruning, some work, but let's not cut them down."
Councillor Bryan Lodge, cabinet member for environment, said the council was exploring all "options", such as contractor Amey looking at engineering solutions to include root excavations, as well as identifying sources of external funding.
Sheffield City Council has felled almost 4,000 trees since 2012 in a £2bn project to remove dead and dangerous trees from the roadside.
Nchinumya Ntembe, 22, poured Tizer laced with the hallucinogenic into a water bottle and fed marijuana leaves to the rodent, named Mr Chow.
Footage released by the RSPCA shows Ntembe and others laughing as Mr Chow ingests the drugs.
Ntembe admitted five cruelty offences and was jailed for four months at Lancaster Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The charges also included failing to meet the needs of two dogs. The animals survived and were rehomed.
Ntembe, of Cypress Road, Lancaster, was also banned from keeping animals for eight years.
He was caught on camera filling Mr Chow's water bottle with the spiked soft drink before then feeding the animal with cannabis leaves at a property in Heysham.
He can be heard saying with others "this could be the end for Mr Chow" and they "egged each other on to give him more drugs", the RSPCA said.
The charity said his dogs - named Zeus and Faith - were also found in a "terrible state" and unnecessary suffering was caused to a further dog called Troy.
Police had attended the property on a warrant and discovered the animals and the footage of cruelty on mobile phones.
Ntembe admitted five offences under the Animal Welfare Act.
Last month, Corey Lee Destrow, 22, York Road, Lancaster, admitted animal cruelty offences relating to the hamster at the city's magistrates' court.
He was given 12 month community order with 80 hours unpaid work and was disqualified from keeping animals for two years, following an appeal of his eight week prison sentence.
Luke Gabriel Horn, 22, of Kingsway, Heysham, was sentenced to an 18 month community order with 250 hours unpaid work after admitted animal cruelty to a dog.
He was disqualified from keeping dogs for five years.
The stars and crew of the show had to leave South America amid angry protests - reportedly over a number plate that appeared to refer to the Falklands War.
Andy Wilman said the H982 FKL plate had not been deliberately chosen and it was "most definitely" not a stunt.
The team, including Jeremy Clarkson, had been filming a Christmas special.
The crew had travelled to Argentina last month to film the Top Gear special, which saw Clarkson and co-stars Richard Hammond and James May drive the famous Patagonian highway - Route 40 - to the southernmost city of Ushuaia.
However, filming had to be cut short when the show provoked anger among locals following the use of a Porsche with the registration number H982 FKL - an apparent reference to the 1982 Falklands War.
The show's cars had to be abandoned by the roadside and the crew escorted to the airport after being pelted with stones.
In a blog, Mr Wilman said the team had driven into "a night of violent terror".
He said he had read "quite a few comments from viewers" who were convinced the show had put the plate on "deliberately".
"We are, after all, a show known for getting into hot water through our antics, and now we're protesting our innocence over this affair, we're seen as merely crying wolf," he said.
"The truth is, however, this is most definitely not the sort of stunt we'd pull."
Mr Wilman said team had bought the car - complete with the number plate - in the UK, saying it was the best available vehicle of its type and that no-one noticed the plates.
He said the first time the crew realised the plate could be a problem was on the third night of the show's shoot in Argentina.
"Jeremy was scrolling through Twitter and spotted a comment on one of the auto fan sites, next to a photo of the plate. I remember his surprise and concern," he said.
He said the show's team then spoke to authorities in Ushuaia - where the team's road trip was due to end - and the number plates were removed from the car.
"There was nothing in the air to suggest trouble was brewing until the Argentinean veterans arrived and kicked off. We apologised that the existence of the plates earlier on would have caused offence.
"We explained they were now gone, and that they had not been a deliberate act. They didn't believe us, told us to leave town or face the consequences, we did that very thing and drove into a night of violent terror," he added.
It is not the first time the show has met with controversy.
In July, Ofcom ruled that Top Gear had breached broadcasting rules after Clarkson had used a racial slur during a Top Gear special in Burma.
A 2011 episode caused a diplomatic incident in Mexico when Hammond said Mexican cars reflected national characteristics - saying they were like a "lazy, feckless, flatulent oaf with a moustache".
In May this year, the BBC faced calls to fire Clarkson after leaked footage showed him mumbling an offensive version of the nursery rhyme Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe in a clip that was not broadcast.
Australian MPs and senators are not allowed to hold dual citizenship.
Five other Australian politicians are due to have their eligibility for office tested in court over claims they are dual citizens.
Mr Keenan said he renounced his British citizenship in 2004 before entering parliament.
"I am an Australian citizen and I do not hold citizenship of any other country," he tweeted.
Fairfax Media reported it took Mr Keenan two days to confirm he had renounced his citizenship. Mr Keenan accused the outlet of a "cheap grab for a headline".
He did not release documents showing his citizenship renunciation.
However, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said Mr Keenan had "dealt with that matter" through his statements.
Mr Keenan was born in Australia but inherited British citizenship from his Durham-born father.
He is the third government minister to be swept up in the saga, after Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce and Minister for Resources and Northern Australia Matt Canavan.
Like Mr Joyce, Mr Keenan sits in the lower House of Representatives, where Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's government has only a one-seat majority.
If any members of the government were to be ruled ineligible, it would trigger a complex process that could threaten Mr Turnbull's hold on power.
A section of Australia's constitution prohibiting dual citizens from holding office will be tested in the nation's High Court next week.
The driver, believed to be a local man in his 30s, was the only person in the vehicle travelling along Oldham Road towards Rishworth, West Yorkshire.
Police arrived at Booth Wood Reservoir near the Turnpike Public House at about 20:20 BST on Sunday.
Specialist teams are due to search the water later, West Yorkshire Police said.
The family of the driver has been informed.
Oldham Road has been closed and motorists have been advised to seek alternative routes.　
Police have appealed for witnesses.
Canaries keeper John Ruddy kept out two Sergio Aguero efforts as the home side resolutely kept the visitors at bay.
However, it was Norwich who came closest to a goal when a 25-yard Patrick Bamford shot hit the crossbar.
The home side might even have snatched a late winner but Graham Dorrans put a shot wide when well placed.
Relive Norwich's goalless draw with Man City
Manchester City have now won only two of their past 11 away games in the league, and Manuel Pellegrini's side failed to respond to his warning they had no "margin for error" in the title race.
Pellegrini opted for a 4-4-2 formation, with Wilfried Bony partnering Aguero in attack, but despite their dominance the visitors rarely looked dangerous and failed to muster a shot on target in the second half.
Bony was a peripheral figure and it was little surprise when he was replaced just before the hour mark by Raheem Sterling, though the winger's introduction failed to lift the away side.
The worry for Pellegrini, who will be replaced in the summer by Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola, will be the lack of creativity, intensity and urgency from his side.
"Me and [Norwich goalkeeper] John Ruddy could have had the afternoon off to be honest," said visiting keeper Joe Hart. "We weren't good enough to win the game."
Hart and his team-mates will be looking over their shoulders in the race for Champions League football, with only a two-point gap between them and fifth-placed West Ham.
Norwich remain in the bottom three after winning only their second point from their past 10 league games.
But, if they can continue to defend in the same way and add goals to this sort of performance, they will believe they can avoid relegation.
"It is a big point and sends a message out to the teams around us and maybe dents them again," said Norwich defender Russell Martin.
Canaries boss Alex Neil has rarely had cause to question his side's desire, and his players again put in a performance full of effort and commitment - running 5km more than their opponents.
The plan might have been to frustrate their visitors and hope to catch them on the break, but scoring goals remains an issue with just three in their past seven games.
Neil hoped giving Bamford his first Premier League start might solve the problem but though the on-loan Chelsea forward went closest to scoring, Norwich did not manage a shot on target.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "We are disappointed. We tried to be aggressive with and without the ball. We had a good attitude but we could not create space.
"Of course we should create more in the last third. We were static up front. Every time that you drop points it is harder but you must continue thinking in a positive way. We must always try to win the title while we mathematically can."

Norwich City boss Alex Neil: "We will see at the end of the season how significant that point was.
"We had much better decision-making. Last time Norwich got relegated they were five points above the relegation zone with seven games to play so there's no reason why we can't catch some of those above us."

Former Norwich striker Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 live: "This is the end for Manchester City now, they are not going to win the title. Absolutely done. They have been like it all season. They just haven't shown enough urgency or real effort to win."
Manchester City will take a 3-1 lead into the home leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday (19:45 GMT). Norwich's fight for survival sees them visit West Brom on Saturday, 19 March (15:00 GMT) in their next game.
For nearly 18 years it was wrongly assumed that they had died in a suicide pact.
In March Hazel Stewart was found guilty of murdering her policeman husband, Mr Buchanan and her then lover's wife, Mrs Howell.
Her ex-partner, former Dentist Colin Howell, pleaded guilty to the murders last year.
The court-case centred on a real-life story which involved sex, religion, adultery, murder, cover-up and then - 20 years later - a confession.
In the dock was Hazel Stewart, a former Sunday school teacher. Back in 1991, she was having an affair with the local dentist Colin Howell.
And one night in the summer of 1991, they killed their respective spouses. They did it in such a way as to make it look like two suicides, rather than two murders.
A few weeks after the funerals, Stewart and Howell then continued their secret affair. They kept it going for another five years.
But even when they broke up and married other people, they didn't admit to the murders.
Then, two years ago, out of the blue, Colin Howell confessed to his Church elders, and then to the police, about what they'd done.
For almost 20 years, Colin Howell got away with murder and lived a seemingly happy, normal existence.
Folly a deux
But then two things happened which changed his life. First, his 22-year-old son, Matthew, died in an accident in Russia.
Second, he lost a fortune when a business deal in the Philippines went wrong. One or both of these incidents may have been the trigger for his sudden confession. If he hadn't eventually confessed, the truth would probably never have come out.
Professor of criminology David Wilson explained that this turn of events could have been motivated by selfish reasons.
"Well it's certainly not going to be remorse and its certainly not going to have be guilt, that led him to hand himself in," Mr Wilson said.
"This is a classic case of calculation in terms of 'it would be better to 'fess up' rather than face the circumstances he was currently living in.
"I also think it was intimately bound up with the relationship he had with his new wife, who has since moved back to the US.
"For a very long period of time Colin Howell has been a cunning, manipulative and controlling man and I think you would have to place his desire to bring these murders to the authorities attention within that manipulative context.
"I think there is some criminoloigical background we could use here and in particular one would like to look at this in terms of a folly a deux, the psychological concept, literally meaning a madness shared by two," Mr Wilson added.
"Historically there are some other folly a deux we can look to such as between Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, and again with Fred and Rose West.
"Usually within a folly a deux there is a more dominant male figure who will manipulate a more subservient disciple, or a female figure to share a world view which is frankly unbelievable.
"The strength of Colin Howell was his ability as a fantasist to convince somebody like Hazel Stewart that that world was possible."
This type of behaviour was illustrated by the fact that Colin Howell could be in the garage making a slide for his child whilst devising the pipe he would later use for the murders.
Mr Wilson said this type of behaviour was categorised as compartmentalising.
"It was how he was able to have the very public face, the public rituals of being a businessman, a dentist, a Baptist lay-preacher, whilst all the time the private realities behind those public rituals were ones that could include psychopathy and ultimately murder.
"I think in the end, his confession was probably related to the fact that he was overwhelmed by the amount things he had to compartmentalise."
Throughout the court case of Hazel Stewart members of both families stood in the gallery.
On one side the children of Lesley Howell, wanting to find answers about their mother's death. Sat opposite them were the children of Hazel Stewart, who, despite losing their father, chose to stand by their mother throughout the court case.
Many people were surprised by this but Mr Wilson said it is not unusual.
"Often one finds that the families of murder victims react in a variety of ways, not just a stereotypical way so actually her children standing by her is not that odd at all."
A large crack appeared in the pavement above the wall behind the Pyramids Centre in Southsea, sometime between 25 and 26 December.
The council is looking at propping up what is left of the wall and filling the hole with 2,000 tonnes of rock.
Council leader Donna Jones admitted bad weather could hamper efforts.
She said: "There is a big storm predicted on Wednesday which we are quite concerned about. The big risk now is whether or not the hole is going to get bigger.
"These sea defences were built in the 1970s and built on old existing concrete plinths which were built in the 1930s and unfortunately due to wear and tear the sea defences have now given way."
Ms Jones said the authority had already been working on a multi million-pound replacement scheme of old sea defences, including this section.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said the investment would allow the service to buy 35 standard ambulances and six non-emergency patient transport vehicles to replace older models.
He said it would help cut running costs and reduce the number of vehicles needing repairs and maintenance.
The service has more than 700 vehicles covering Wales.
Mr Drakeford said: "The demands on our ambulance service grow every year and we are determined to invest in the service to deliver the best service to patients."
Last month the service again fell short of its response time target for life-threatening calls, with 61.7% of so-called Category A calls arriving within eight minutes. | A meteor that may have caused phone calls to the Coastguard in Scotland and England was photographed from the shores of Loch Ness.

Ellie Harrison was awarded £15,000 by Creative Scotland for the project, which would see her deliberately confined to Glasgow for a year.
She was criticised on social media and accused of taking a "poverty safari".
Now the project has finished, she revealed that the first few months were "overwhelming".
Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland, Ms Harrison said she effectively went "undercover" in the face of the media storm and started working on local projects.
"It was an incredibly stressful first few months," she told The Stephen Jardine Programme.
"There was so much anger that was thrown at me which I just processed and I thought about what it meant. I used it fuel the project in positive directions."
The project took its named from the term which describes the poor health and life expectancy in parts of Glasgow.
Ms Harrison, who has lived in Glasgow since 2008, took time off from her post as a lecturer at Duncan of Jordanstone College in Dundee to pursue the work.
As well as remaining in the city for the whole of 2016, she said she also travelled everywhere by foot or bicycle - cutting her carbon footprint to zero.
The project was designed to help her address "conflicts and contradiction" in her life, she said.
"I'd been living here but I wasn't working here," she added. "I was working in Dundee so I was doing this huge commute across the country two times a week.
"Most of the commissions or invitations I got as an artist were in other cities, or abroad. I was doing a lot of travelling in that respect.
"My parents are down in London - I've got a continual pull to try and take responsibility, be a good daughter, look after them.
"My niece and nephew, my sister, they're all in Norwich, so it just felt like everything that I was doing was outside of this city.
"Why the hell was I living here? Did I really know this city? And was I actually investing any of my time, my energy, my ideas, the skills that I have acquired through all the education that I have in making it a better place? So that was the contradiction that the project was founded on."
She told the programme that she moved to the city because of the so-called "Glasgow miracle".
"That's the story that tells you there's been a post-industrial renaissance in the city, we're a city of culture, we have international art stars and that is raising the living standards of everyone in the city," she said.
"It's not happening. It's just creating more polarisation and more division."
She added: "[The Glasgow Effect] was an opportunity for me to find out more about why Glasgow has the worst health equalities in the whole of western Europe but also, most importantly, to invest my time, energy and skills to try and improve the situation for the poorest people in this city."
The project saw her art cross over with activism - she has campaigned to nationalise the railways and improve bus services.
Her original funding application to Creative Scotland described The Glasgow Effect as an "extreme lifestyle experiment".
Some objected to the phrase, claiming that some people have no choice but to stay in Glasgow for reasons of poverty.
Ms Harrison said: "I am absolutely aware of that. But it was an extreme lifestyle experiment. There was absolutely no escape from the project because it was this year-long durational thing.
"Even when I woke up in the night and I was fretting or worrying about my family who were all in other parts of the country that I couldn't go and visit them - what if something happened to them? These horrible, human fears.
"When that was happening, that was all part of it, for me that was one step too far. To bring my family into this art project like that, I pushed it too far. I don't regret anything, I'm glad I've got to the end of it. "
Engineer Peter Johnston has submitted the idea to the Lego Ideas website, which invites suggestions for new sets.
The skyline includes tenement flats, Finnieston Crane, Glasgow University, the Squinty Bridge and the Duke of Wellington Statue, famed for its cone.
To be successful, the project needs to reach 10,000 backers and then be approved for production.
So far it has only 160 supporters, but has a year to hit its total.
Mr Johnston's design also features the Glasgow Science Centre Tower, which he says is true to life because it "also doesn't rotate".
He told BBC Scotland he was optimistic that if his models get the support that the Glasgow skyline kits could make the grade.
Mr Johnston's enthusiasm for Lego has even seen him build a copy of his wedding venue, Cloghan Castle in Ireland, including favours for the guests on the big day.
Lewandowski showed great footwork to evade Dominik Kohr and slot in the opening goal after 15 minutes.
He then ran on to Thiago's perfectly weighted pass to score his 31st Bayern goal of the season on the hour mark.
Thomas Muller drove in a third from eight yards before Raul Bobadilla scored late on for Augsburg, Liverpool's Europa League opponents.
Victory was the perfect response from Pep Guardiola's side, after they dropped league points for only the third time all season in drawing 0-0 at Bayer Leverkusen last weekend.
Bayern's players wore T-shirts as they walked out before kick-off in support of defender Holger Badstuber, who suffered the latest in a series of injury setbacks when he broke his ankle in training on Saturday.
The win ensured they remain comfortably clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund, who beat Hannover 1-0 on Saturday.
Augsburg, who host Jurgen Klopp's Reds in Thursday's round of 32 first leg, are one point above the relegation play-off place after back-to-back league defeats.
Elsewhere, mid-table Hamburg ended a six-match run without a league win by coming from a goal down to earn a 3-2 win over Borussia Monchengladbach, who missed the chance to climb into the top four.
Fabian Johnson gave the visitors the lead, but they trailed at half-time after Martin Hinteregger deflected Gideon Jung's shot into his own net, and Artjoms Rudnevs scored only his second goal of the season.
Substitute Ivo Ilicevic made it 3-1 to Hamburg with 11 minutes left, and Raffael's late goal for Gladbach was not enough to spark a late comeback.
The midfielder joined Blackburn in June after 10 years at Cardiff.
Whittingham, 32, was offered a one-year contract on reduced terms by the Bluebirds, but bears no grudges against the club or manager Neil Warnock.
"The biggest regret for me personally is the fact I couldn't say goodbye to everyone surrounding the club, the fans," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"It's something I would've loved to have done. That's football, things don't work out I suppose but I'm sure I'll be back there soon enough.
"The gaffer offered me a one-year contract and he said 'You're not going to play as much as probably you'd like'.
"That kind of rubber-stamped things for me. It's one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make to leave Cardiff after such a long time."
Whittingham's final appearance in a Cardiff shirt was the win at Huddersfield in May, while his last home game for the club came a week earlier at Newcastle.
His departure had not been confirmed at that point but, when he was substituted during the second half at Cardiff City Stadium, he was given a standing ovation which seemed more meaningful than usual.
Having joined from Aston Villa in January 2007, Whittingham made 459 appearances for Cardiff.
He helped them reach FA Cup and League Cup finals and win promotion to the Premier League, while his set-piece prowess and effortless playing style earned him hero status with the club's supporters.
However, following Warnock's appointment in October 2016, Whittingham's influence waned as he struggled to secure a regular starting place in the first team.
"I loved my time there, it was amazing. It's [leaving] something I had to do for myself," he added.
"He [Warnock] had his style and the way he wants to play. He's been in football long enough to know what works for him.
"As soon as he came in, people were messaging me saying 'Where are you going? What's going on?'
"I didn't really think I was going to fit in but I never had any issues with him at all."

Janet McQueen, 58, has not been seen since 18 October when she left her home in the city's Govanhill area.
The latest appeal came as members of her family visited Cathcart Police Station to see the inquiry team.
Insp Alex Hutton said he wanted to "reassure" Ms McQueen's family during a "distressing time". He asked anyone with information to come forward.
Ms McQueen was last seen in Langside Road in Govanhill at about 22:00 on 18 October.
She is described as white, 5ft tall, of slim build with short black hair. She was wearing glasses, a navy blue anorak and dark-coloured trousers.
Insp Hutton said: "Janet has now been missing for four weeks and her family and friends are extremely worried abut her. It is totally out of character for her to be out of touch for this length of time and there are real concerns for her wellbeing.
"This must be a very distressing time for them and we wanted to take this opportunity to invite her family into the incident room today to reassure them that we are doing everything we can to find her.
"Our dedicated officers are based in this incident room, taking calls with information about potential sightings of Janet and acting on that information to ensure all lines of inquiry are exhausted."
Insp Hutton added: "I would continue to appeal to members of the public to come forward with any information they may have regarding Janet 's whereabouts.
"No matter how insignificant you think it may be, please let us know so that officers can make that judgement."
The star told BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans that it was "touch and go" whether he would survive his time in hospital.
Michael said he had to learn to walk after the illness, which left him fighting for his life, as his muscles had wasted away.
The 49-year-old said: "It's like I just dodged a bullet."
Michael was forced to cancel a string of shows while he was treated in the Austrian capital Vienna, where he said medics "downplayed" his condition to avoid a "death watch kind of thing".
The true extent of his illness did not become public until after his release from hospital.
The singer admitted the severity of his condition could have been avoided if he had followed advice to get checked out, when a temperature forced him to pull out of a show at the Royal Albert Hall a few weeks earlier.
"I took it for granted that I'd just fought off flu," the former Wham star told Evans.
"I went and played for another three weeks in Europe. And then one afternoon I was having lunch and suddenly felt really odd and said to everyone that I had to go and lay down for half an hour on my own," he added.
"And that's the last thing I remember for five weeks. It was three weeks of them trying to save my life and two weeks awake."
The star has written new single White Light about his near death experiences.
Kate Moss features in the video, more than 20 years after missing out on starring in his supermodel-filled promo for his single Freedom.
Michael told Evans in an interview for his breakfast show that he was "very close" to death on several occasions, and still found it upsetting to talk about.
"When something like that happens in such a random fashion, I think it takes a while to think that life is safe again."
He continued: "I literally had to learn to walk again and weird stuff, because when they keep you sedated for that long your muscles literally atrophy at an incredible rate. And I just woke up like this feeble old man."
In March this year Michael announced rescheduled dates for The Symphonica tour, starting on 4 September with a newly-added date in Vienna.
He said he would donate 1,000 tickets to the medical staff in the city who had looked after him.
Michael also confirmed to Evans that he is scheduled to perform at the Olympics closing ceremony in August.
"That's the plan yes," he said. "I'll be playing a couple of songs to kick off the concert at the end."

The beast was created for the Billy Wilder-directed The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, starring Sir Robert Stephens and Sir Christopher Lee.
It has been seen for the first time in images captured by an underwater robot.
Loch Ness expert Adrian Shine said the shape, measurements and location pointed to the object being the prop.
The robot, operated by Norwegian company Kongsberg Maritime, is being used to investigate what lies in the depths of Loch Ness.
VisitScotland and Mr Shine's The Loch Ness Project, which gathers scientific information on the loch's ecology and the potential for a monster, is supporting the survey.
Mr Shine told the BBC News Scotland website: "We have found a monster, but not the one many people might have expected.
"The model was built with a neck and two humps and taken alongside a pier for filming of portions of the film in 1969.
"The director did not want the humps and asked that they be removed, despite warnings I suspect from the rest of the production that this would affect its buoyancy.
"And the inevitable happened. The model sank."
Mr Shine added: "We can confidently say that this is the model because of where it was found, the shape - there is the neck and no humps - and from the measurements."
The model was floated out to a place in the loch where only a few months earlier claims of sighting of Nessie had been made.
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes was made in the US and UK in 1969 and released in cinemas in 1970.
It was directed by Billy Wilder, a famous figure of Hollywood's "golden age" whose long catalogue of features included Some Like It Hot starring Marilyn Monroe.
The Sherlock film tells of the detective investigating the disappearance of an engineer. The case takes him to Loch Ness and an encounter with a monster.
Sir Robert Stephens played Holmes, Colin Blakely was Dr Watson and Sir Christopher Lee was the sleuth's brother, Mycroft Holmes.
Talented special effects artist Wally Veevers, whose other work included 2001: A Space Odyssey, Superman and Local Hero, led the building of the 30ft-long Loch Ness Monster.
It sank while being towed behind a boat.
Wilder is said to have comforted Veevers after watching his creation disappear beneath the waves.
The director, who had also been dogged with problems lighting scenes at Loch Ness, had a new monster made - but just its head and neck - and moved the filming to a large water tank in a film studio.
Kongsberg's torpedo-shaped Munin drone is equipped with sonar imaging and has already made several sweeps of the loch's bottom.
Among other material the drone has already detected have been the wreck of an unidentified sunken boat.
However, measurements made using the device dispute a claim made in January of a new deepest point in the loch.
A tour boat skipper Keith Stewart recorded a depth of 889ft (270.9m) on sonar equipment he uses.
The official maximum depth, which still remains in place, is 754ft (229.8m).
Kongsberg's survey work forms part of Mr Shine's ongoing called Operation Groundtruth,
Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, added: "No two areas around or on the water feel the same - whether it is a sense of awe at the beauty of the scenery or a feeling of anticipation at what might surface from below the waters.
"We are excited to see the findings from this in-depth survey by Kongsberg, but no matter how state-of-the-art the equipment is, and no matter what it may reveal, there will always be a sense of mystery and the unknown around what really lies beneath Loch Ness."
The 26-year-old ex-Yeovil man has been a Lions player since 2014, but was one of seven to be released after the League One play-off final loss.
He made 39 appearances for Neil Harris' side last season and has signed a two-year deal at Stadium:MK.

Some of the younger talent in the country deserve the chance to impress and the Ulster centre has been knocking at the door by virtue of his consistent performances at provincial level this season.
It takes time to adapt fully to international rugby but you have to learn by experience and there is maybe a chance for the likes of Stuart to show Joe Schmidt what he can do over the next few weeks.
Also, with Jonathan Sexton increasingly prone to injury, Paddy Jackson should be afforded the opportunity to nail down a position as the regular back-up at fly-half.
It's England up next for Ireland and if we lose at Twickenham, then regardless of what happens against Italy and Scotland, it won't have been a very successful Six Nations for the reigning champions.
You can't make 10 changes for a game like that, but you can maybe make one or two, keep the other guys on their toes, and then maybe make a few more for the match against the Italians in Dublin.
At half-time in Paris, I couldn't see the French team getting into the game at all but they had their purple patch and the Irish scrum just creaked.
I said before the tournament that the Six Nations is not usually a time to experiment, but now that Ireland's chances of winning it have probably gone, maybe it is time to shake things up a bit.
The centre partnership of Jared Payne and Robbie Henshaw is not busting any holes and giving the team a bit of go forward. I think that's what's missing.
If McCloskey was given the number 12 shirt against England or Italy it would make those guys think that they would have to buck up their ideas and put in some better performances because at the moment there is no-one challenging them.
Stuart would offer more penetration at centre and give you that in abundance.
Jared has often played full-back for Ulster so there is always the possibility of moving him to the number 15 shirt.
The outcome against the French proved what I thought beforehand, that the bench was just not strong enough, especially in the back line.
When Sexton went off injured, Ian Madigan came off the bench and kicked the ball straight into touch, gave them a penalty and that put France on the front foot.
You have to question whether he is used to dealing with pressure situations given that he is usually sat on the bench for Leinster, coming on at 12, 15 or 10 at some stage during the game.
For me, you want to have players coming on who do not weaken the team and you have to have a reliable replacement number 10 who knows exactly what he has to do.
Fergus McFadden was another replacement who had no impact on the game whatsoever.
Stephen Ferris was speaking on BBC Radio Ulster's Sportsound programme.
The World Cricket League match was halted twice by rain on Sunday, with Scotland finishing their innings on 268-5.
Namibia reached 26-0 before play was abandoned and finished on Monday on 217 from 39.4 overs.
The teams will meet for a second WCL match on Tuesday at Edinburgh's Grange.
Namibia opted to field first after winning the toss and Scotland were 42-2 when the rain first caused a stoppage.
The home side's innings were underpinned by Richie Berrington's 110, his highest score in a one-day international.
After the game was restarted on Monday, the visitors managed to score 217 from 39.4 overs, with Zhivago Groenewald scoring 42 before being caught by Calum MacLeod to signal the end of the tie.
"Richie Berrington played a fine knock on Sunday alongside Craig Wallace who helped get it going, and Preston Mommsen in his comeback game batted brilliantly too," Scotland captain Kyle Coetzer told BBC Scotland.
"A lot of hard graft goes into scoring a hundred like Berrington did, but what made it even better was that Richie had to come on and off about three times because of the weather. That was challenging because he couldn't just get himself set. For Richie to get to 110 and take the team towards that score was something special.
"With Scotland at the moment we've got a pack of bowlers who can really have an impact on the international scene and some batters that are just coming into their real prime, as well as some other players waiting in the wings."
The Grillet was one of three boats that accompanied Hitler's yacht the Aviso Grille, which was seized by the Royal Navy after World War Two.
The yacht spent part of its time in Hartlepool before ending up being scrapped in the US.
Owner Ron Cadman hopes a missing binnacle and compass are still in Hartlepool.
He told BBC Tees: "It's the original brass binnacle with the compass inside. In June 2014 it appeared in an auction, I didn't know until early this year, the auction house said the person who put it in was from Hartlepool, hopefully I can get it back for the boat."
Mr Cadman, who is currently in the United Arab Emirates, said he is trying to find a Hartlepool man called David Dixon who entered it into the auction in Taunton. The lot was returned to him after it failed to sell.
The Aviso Grille was one of the biggest yachts in the world and the smaller motor boats were needed to ferry people into harbour.
At 36ft (11m) long the Grillet was the largest of the three motor boats.
Adolf Hitler planned to use the Grillet to transport him up the Thames to Windsor Castle, which was to be his home in the event of a successful invasion.
Mr Cadman said it is not the boat's association with Hitler that interests him.
He said: "At the end of the day it's an historic boat, regardless of Hitler.
"The boat itself is a 1934 German naval pinnace, there are very few of them surviving, it is just an interesting boat from that period."
After the war the Grillet was used for many years as a rescue launch by the Hartlepool Sailing Club before being sold several times to owners around the world.
It is currently out of the water but Mr Cadman said he is hoping to restore it to its original condition.
The US and the UK were among the countries which sponsored a resolution which for the first time explicitly calls for an international probe.
Sri Lanka's army defeated separatist Tamil Tiger rebels after 26 years of bloody civil war in May 2009.
Both sides have been accused of committing war crimes.
But it is events in the final phase of the war that has come under scrutiny, with one UN report saying that as many as 40,000 Tamil civilians may have been killed, mostly by government shelling in those final months.
Sri Lanka has consistently denied such allegations and says it is being unfairly targeted. It also claims that Tamil rebels are attempting to regroup in the north of the country.
But the resolution calls for a "comprehensive investigation into alleged serious violations and abuses of human rights and related crimes by both parties in Sri Lanka".
"We reject this," Sri Lanka's President Mahinda Rajapaksa told the AFP news agency. "This resolution only hurts our reconciliation efforts. It does not help."
The BBC's Charles Haviland in Colombo says this is the first concrete step towards any kind of international inquiry on the conduct of the island's government and the defeated Tamil Tiger rebels.
The resolution was carried in a 23-12 vote.
That means that 23 member states of the 47-member Human Rights Council voted for this resolution, 12 voted against it while 12 abstained - including India which many had expected to vote against its neighbour.
The document also expresses "serious concern" at events said to be still going on in Sri Lanka - including the intimidation of civil society, disappearances and torture.
Earlier this month Sri Lankan detained two prominent human rights activists for 48 hours under anti-terrorism laws. While rights groups point to continuing abuses, the government just as vehemently denies such allegations.
Resolutions expressing alarm at the human rights situation in Sri Lanka have been passed before by the council, but the distinctiveness of this draft is that it asks the UN's Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to carry out an inquiry.
Northern Irishman Stephen Lynd, 36, and West Yorkshire rider Gavin Lupton, 37, are in a critical condition.
Lynd crashed in Wednesday's Dundrod 150 practice and Lupton was injured during the challenge race on Thursday.
Hodson, 35, died after a crash in the Dundrod 150, which is part of the Ulster Grand Prix bikes week.
Thursday's second serious crash involving Lupton led to the remaining scheduled Dundrod 150 races being abandoned as the roads were closed to allow to allow for a police investigation.
Hodson died after the incident at the Joey's Windmill section of the Northern Ireland circuit.
Brother Rob was involved in the crash but was not seriously hurt.
The national race was immediately red-flagged and the Hodson brothers were taken to hospital after being treated at the scene.
Jamie Hodson's death was announced shortly after 22:00 BST.
An experienced rider, he was the reigning Manx GP Supertwins champion, and this year achieved a top-10 finish in the Isle of Man TT Lightweight race.
The Dundrod and District Motorcycle Club, the organisers of the meeting, offered their sincere condolences to the Hodson family and friends and asked for their privacy to be respected.
Thursday's Dundrod 150 meeting was part of the Ulster Grand Prix meeting which concludes with Saturday's main day of racing at the circuit.
Mullah Mohammad Rasool was chosen to lead the splinter group at a meeting of fighters in western Farah province.
The dissidents say new Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour hijacked the movement because of personal greed.
He was appointed in late July after the Taliban admitted that Mullah Omar had been dead for two years.
In recent months divisions in the Taliban have burst into the open - and correspondents say the split now appears entrenched.
This is believed to be the first formal split in the Afghan Taliban since their emergence in the mid-1990s. The divisions emerged after the death of Mullah Omar was confirmed in late July - many Taliban accused his successor, Mullah Mansour, of hiding the news.
Mullah Rasool says he and his supporters tried hard to convince Mullah Mansour to step down and let the new leader be appointed by consensus - but they say he refused.
At this stage it is not clear if the dissidents can rally mass support among Taliban fighters to be a real challenge to the leadership.
Mullah Mansour claims he has significant support from members of the Taliban leadership council. He has also bolstered his position with recent military victories - in particular in Kunduz, which briefly fell to the Taliban in September, the first provincial capital to do so since they were ousted in late 2001.

The BBC obtained video of the Farah meeting, at which Mullah Rasool, wearing glasses and a black turban, made a 13-minute speech to dozens of his heavily-armed followers.
He will have four deputies - Abdul Manan Niazi, Mansoor Dadullah and Shir Mohammad Akhundzada were appointed to deputise on military affairs and Mullah Baz Mohammad Haris was appointed his deputy for political affairs.
Under Taliban rule, Mullah Rasool was governor of Nimroz province. Reuters reports that he is not a religious scholar.
Jordan Watson, 14, was subjected to a "brutal and sustained attack" in Carlisle leaving him with "terrible" head and neck injuries, on 15 June.
The city's crown court heard George Thomson, 19, of Carlisle, used a sharp implement or implements in the attack.
He and co-defendants Brahnn Finley, 19, and Daniel Johnston, 20, also from the city, deny murder.
Jordan's body was found by a passer-by the next morning in a secluded area of Upperby Cemetery, under a large tree - with "blood everywhere, even up to the trunk of the tree".
Simon Medland QC, prosecuting, said several people near the cemetery reported hearing "horrible screams" on the night Jordan died.
He said Mr Thomson's motive was an "obsessive desire" to have Jordan's 14-year-old girlfriend to himself.
He told jurors Jordan's girlfriend, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was the "object of devoted attention" from the defendant, then aged 18.
He said: "Thomson wanted [the girlfriend] to go out with him and stop going out with Jordan Watson.
"He was to repeatedly state, leading up to the date of the murder, that he wanted Jordan out of the picture and dead, and that is what he acted upon during the meeting in the cemetery."
Mr Medland told the court co-defendants Brahnn Finley, 19, and Daniel Johnston, 20, were present during the murder and were there to "lend support" to Mr Thomson.
He said Jordan's girlfriend received an "abusive" Facebook message at 23:45, purporting to be a message from Jordan ending their relationship. However, it was Mr Thompson who sent it and Jordan was already dead.
A post-mortem examination found the boy was the victim of at least nine deep, incised wounds, with one at least penetrating through his neck tissues to his spine.
When police searched Mr Thomson's home they found a large, blood-stained Gurkha knife under his bed as well as an "unusually large" quantity of knives and weapons including a machete and a cleaver, the court heard.
Mr Thomson, of Upperby Road, Carlisle; Mr Finley, of Furze Street, Carlisle, and Mr Johnston, of Petteril Bank Road, Carlisle, all deny murder.
The trial continues.
Middlesex were bowled out for 423, a lead of 47, before Ollie Rayner (4-56) put the visitors under pressure.
But Hildreth's unbeaten 85 steadied Somerset after they had lost three wickets for two runs.
Craig Overton added 44 runs with Hildreth before bad light ended play, resigning both teams to their sixth draw of the season.
Middlesex added just 16 runs to their overnight score before Jack Leach (5-77) bowled Tim Murtagh.
Somerset lost their openers cheaply under dark skies to Murtagh (2-33) before Rayner took a stunning one-handed catch at second slip to dismiss Jim Allenby.
There was a brief recovery from Somerset as Hildreth and Peter Trego put on 99 for the fifth wicket before Rayner dismissed the latter.
Lewis Gregory fell to Rayner's next ball to leave the Middlesex man on a hat-trick, but Somerset were able to make it to tea, before bad light ended play early.

The six foot (1.5m) 'humanoid' is called Atlas and was created by Google-owned Boston Dynamics.
The robot's makers wanted to create a machine that could walk on uneven ground.
So far Atlas is keeping his balance and it's hoped he should eventually be able to walk without a power cable.
It followed a process where the Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb tried to find consensus among the political groups in the assembly and at Westminster.
Despite the attempt to build consensus the bill has resulted in some fiery rhetoric - with talk of "English vetos" and Lord Elis-Thomas even suggesting it was the worst attempt to re-write the constitution he had ever seen.
Mr Crabb has now proposed substantial changes. But what is the draft Bill, why is it so controversial and how does it affect you?
In simple terms, the Bill takes the law that governs the assembly and Welsh devolution and turns it inside out.
Currently Wales' devolved powers are explicitly set out in a list of so-called "conferred" powers.
The Wales Bill tries to move Wales to a system more like the Northern Ireland assembly and the Scottish parliament.
There, powers kept by Westminster are defined in a set of "reservations". Everything else is assumed to be devolved.
Consensus in the Welsh political scene has been that Wales should move to that way of running things.
It is meant to be clearer and avoid the kind of rows that have landed Welsh legislation in the Supreme Court.
The Bill also offers new powers to the assembly over its own affairs - such as how elections take place and the institution's name - as well as on energy and transport.
The Bill's critics argue the legislation, as it stood, does not achieve Mr Crabb's stated aim of producing a clearer settlement that would stand the test of time.
Opposition politicians and academics have said it could lead to a reversal of devolution and give UK ministers a "veto" over Welsh decisions.
Some have argued it could create even more potential Supreme Court challenges.
There are three specific areas which have attracted criticism:
Stephen Crabb has confirmed the Bill will be delayed until May at the earliest and revealed substantial changes to the areas complained about.
The necessity test will not happen and Mr Crabb will look at shortening the reservation list.
There are changes for minister of crown consents too.
Mr Crabb said he will look at passing control for some of these consents, relating to responsibilities which step into devolved territory still held by UK ministers, to Wales.
There are areas like teachers' pay, which is still controlled from Westminster although education is run from Cardiff.
He has also launched a working group to look at distinct arrangements needed for the growing body of Welsh law - but has stopped short of backing a separate Welsh legal jurisdiction.
Carwyn Jones and others have said the lack of a provision for a Welsh jurisdiction has contributed to the Bill's complexity.
Not entirely. Mr Crabb has indicated for some time now that he was open to changes to the Bill.
And Sunday's conclusions by the Welsh Affairs committee may lead some to think he had little room for manoeuvre.
But there had been no indication Mr Crabb would drop the necessity test entirely.
It is a little too early to say for definite.
Mr Jones did not appear to jump for joy - he said it was "an avoidable delay to clear up an avoidable mess".
But he did say there was an opportunity, "if the will is truly there", to repair the damage done by a flawed process.
That is a good question. This is about how Wales makes its laws and governs itself.
If the people we elect are unhappy with the system they have in front of them it could get in the way of everything else the assembly members are meant to be doing - health and education for instance.
And it is a chance too for those boring, snoring constitutional questions to be cleared away, at least for a time.
The delay does mean that, for now, nothing changes in terms of the kind of laws that the assembly can make.
Promised new powers for the Welsh government may take longer than originally intended.
But the colour of the pavement will not change because the Wales Bill will not be passed before the summer and the wheels of Welsh government will continue to turn.
The victims were ambushed by unknown attackers when travelling between Juba and the town of Pibor to the northeast.
Oxfam said the attack "demonstrates how dangerous it is here" and was leading agencies to re-evaluate "what is mission-critical and what is not".
Aid deliveries would continue but could be delayed, it said.
The latest fatal attack on humanitarian workers came a month after famine was declared in parts of Unity state in northern South Sudan.
The UN says the famine - the first to be announced anywhere in the world in six years - is man-made, resulting from a political conflict that escalated into war in 2013.
Some of the areas worst affected by food shortages are seen as sympathetic to rebel groups and critics of the government have accused it of blocking aid deliveries. South Sudanese officials deny this.
Oxfam humanitarian campaigns manager Dorothy Sang, who is in South Sudan, told the BBC it was "one of the most difficult countries to operate in right now".
She said attacks on aid workers "unfortunately aren't uncommon" - 12 have been killed this year alone and there have been a number of other, non-fatal attacks on aid convoys and warehouses.
She said Oxfam would continue delivering aid but was reassessing how this could be done with least risk.
Transporting aid by road was now "extremely dangerous" and agencies were considering whether they could step up transportation by air, and whether risks on the road could be reduced by aid organisations travelling in convoy.
This re-evaluation of risks could mean that aid deliveries were delayed, Ms Sang said.
"The brutal killing... has sent shockwaves through us all," said Care International country director Fred McCray. "It is unacceptable that those trying to alleviate the suffering... are attacked for what they do."

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) programme director for South Sudan Monica Blagescu said: "This is the crude reality of the situation in South Sudan, where humanitarian workers put their lives at risk while providing life-saving assistance to people affected by conflict and drought.
"Those in a position of power must step up to their responsibilities and stop such heinous incidents from happening again."
In many cases of assaults on aid agencies, it is not known who the attackers are. There are many armed groups in South Sudan, engaged in a battle for power and resources.
South Sudanese rebels have blamed government forces for the killings on Saturday.
A spokesman for the Sudan People's Liberation Movement - In Opposition, which is led by former Vice-President Riek Machar, condemned the attack and called for an investigation.
"The area where this barbaric incident took place is under the control of [the] Juba regime and its militias," the spokesman, Paul Gabriel Lam, was reported by the Paris-based Sudan Tribune as saying.
The government has said it is too early to say who was behind the attack and it would be "counterproductive" to assign blame "at this stage".
Grieving families went to the morgue in Juba on Monday to collect the bodies of their relatives.
"This is very painful for all of us," Levis Kori, whose 30-year-old brother John Riti was killed in the attack, told AP new agency.
"They were humanitarians there to do good. They're not soldiers, they have no guns."
The attack comes at a critical time for aid agencies in South Sudan, which are trying to pre-position stocks in key areas before the expected arrival of the rains in the coming weeks.
The rainy season makes access much harder for aid agencies and brings greater risk that malnourished people, already vulnerable to illness, will catch water-borne diseases.
The DEC has warned that "a toxic mix of drought and violent conflict" means South Sudan is now the world's fastest growing refugee crisis.
It says 6,000 people a day - equating to four people a minute - were forced to flee to neighbouring Uganda last month.
There are now more refugees fleeing to Uganda than across the Mediterranean, the DEC says.
Josh Matavesi's interception try set the seal on the win, but it was fly-half Biggar's control and kicking that put Ospreys in charge.
Biggar reacted positively to missing some first-half kicks to accumulate a personal match tally of 20 points.
"He was frustrated and took it upon himself to go out and give us some yards," said Ospreys captain Jones.
"You watch Dan - whether it's with Wales or the Ospreys - and when he's playing well he gets us on the front foot and that fulcrum between 9, 10 and 12 is pretty good when he's firing."
Biggar's personal contribution helped Ospreys make a winning start against the team lying second in England's Premiership.
Jones was happy with his team's win after their poor form in the early rounds of the Pro12.
Ospreys lie eighth in the table after losing five of their opening seven matches.
"People didn't expect too much from us in this first game, but it's a good start," added Jones.
"It's the home win that we needed off what we're mature enough to say is a disappointing start in the Pro12, and this was the game we needed.
"If you look at the game it probably could have gone either way and we were lucky to get a couple of decisions and get on the front foot."
Ospreys face last season's runners-up Clermont Auvergne away in the second round of matches on 22 November.
"It's massive step up," added Jones.
"We've got a quick turnaround, but hopefully we can get out there and get something.
"They've had a indifferent start but they always peak for the ERC - they've been to a couple of finals and the squad and the reputation they have got playing at home."
The cable will have capacity to carry up to 1,200MW of electricity generated by renewable energy projects in the north of Scotland.
In March another ship, the Siem Ruby, used a subsea boulder clearance plough to create a trench in the Moray Firth.
NKT Victoria will lower cables into the trench before it is backfilled.
The first section of cable will be laid from Noss Head in Caithness to a midpoint where it will be joined to a second cable to be laid from Portgordon in Moray.
Led by SSE, the £1.1bn Caithness-Moray Project is to be completed next year.
Bethany Gash, whose father read it to her after mother Lisa died in 2001, "never thought" she would see it again.
But, this week it was found by a second-hand bookshop owner and Ms Gash, now 21, believes the book it was hidden in disappeared during a house move.
It meant "absolutely the world" that bookseller Gordon Draper had found her.
"It's absolutely overwhelming considering something so small can mean so much to someone," she said.
"A lot of people would just disregard it as something stupid, just a little old letter."
Mr Draper, who owns Bondgate Books in Bishop Auckland, said he just had "to do something" and returned the letter in person, after BBC Tees tracked down Ms Gash.
"I can't emphasise how pleased I am," he said. "Absolutely amazed."
Before she died, Ms Gash's mother had bought a lot of books for her daughter in his shop, he said.
In the letter, Mrs Gash said: "If your dad is reading this to you it is because I have died and gone to heaven to live with the angels.
"I will always be in the sky making sure you are alright and watching over you so when you see a bright star, like in the nursery rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, that's me.
"Don't forget me because I'll always be your mam".
The letter was in an envelope with a photograph of Ms Gash, who now lives in Ferryhill, County Durham, sitting on her mother's knee.
"I had a feeling that they were missing but I never actually acted upon that," Ms Gash added.
Leader Ruth Davidson will call on voters to send a message to the SNP on independence as she unveils the party's manifesto in Edinburgh.
The party said the manifesto will also seek to empower councils.
And it will set out plans to reverse what it describes as "a decade of SNP centralisation".
Ms Davidson said the council elections on 4 May were an opportunity for people "to make clear the priorities they want in Scotland".
She said: "It is to ensure we have local councils focused on your school and your local services, not on a divisive referendum campaign most people don't want.
"We have two key points to make at this election. After 10 years of SNP centralisation, we want to make the case for localism - so decisions are put back in the hands of your local community.
"And, after a decade of constitutional division, we want to send a message to the SNP: we don't want your unwanted independence referendum.
"Every Scottish Conservative councillor who is elected on 4 May will demand nothing less."
The party's local government spokesman Graham Simpson claimed that Scotland was "fast becoming one of the most centralised countries in the western world".
He added: "The SNP government reserves for itself the right to make the vast majority of economic decisions, so local authorities have been relegated to mere service providers.
"We need to empower councils and give them a renewed sense of meaning and purpose. They can and must be the engines of growth".
Scottish Labour, the Liberal Democrats and Scottish Greens have already published their manifestos, with the SNP due to unveil theirs later this week.
Moseley Road Baths in Birmingham is one of the oldest swimming baths in Britain, but is scheduled to close as part of council cuts.
A photographic project to commemorate the Grade II* listed building culminated with 110 swimmers standing in the now unused Gala pool.
Attilio Fiumarella said it had been easy to persuade people to pose-up.
The Birmingham-based photographer said: "It was the first thing I imagined when I first entered this wonderful building."
He said it marked the end of a five-month project that had revealed some "amazing stories" and people's "emotional connection with the building".
Kate Wilcox was one of those to get involved on Sunday.
"It was fantastic. It took a long time to set up, but people were so patient and encouraging," she said.
"People were so up for being involved in this because of their affection for this pool. It's great to be part of it.
"I've been using the baths for 20 months now and when I discovered they were planning to close it I was appalled because it's a heritage building.
"The new library and the symphony hall are wonderful, but we should treasure our heritage. Moseley Road Baths should be a national treasure."
Birmingham City Council previously said the closure of nine leisure centres, including Moseley Road, would help to save £6.8m from its leisure budget.
The local authority said it was too expensive to refurbish old sites, but that they would be replaced by new facilities.
It has revealed much about this Pope and about the Roman Catholic Church in Africa.
The Pope's message was heard loud and clear, and embraced by the faithful in the countries he visited: Kenya, Uganda and the Central African Republic.
Just as Saint John Paul II became a beacon for freedom from tyranny, Pope Francis has become the pontiff who speaks for and to the poor and the disenfranchised.
Everywhere he went in Africa, he made sure that he visited the children of the slums, and the families unable to afford sanitation.
On the plane on the way back to Rome, the Pope spoke of meeting malnourished children at a UN-run paediatric hospital in Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic.
He spoke with feeling about the way that humans - and the economies they create - can contribute to injustice and severe imbalances in the way the earth's resources are shared.
Pope Francis said he "loved Africa", even as he termed it a "victim" that had always been exploited by other powers, be it the slaves "sold to America" or the exploitation of the continent's mineral wealth.
Pope Francis went to Africa as a peacemaker, focusing his energy on trying to bring together Christians and Muslims in the Central African Republic at a time that reverberations from the battle within Islam (between Sunni and Shia, and between fundamentalists and moderates) are threatening both Muslims and Christians in Africa and elsewhere.
Militant Islamist groups seek to stir divisions between communities, using the justification of religion to exploit existing territorial, political and ethnic grievances.
Asked about Islam during his flight back, the Pope said that one could not banish a religion because it had fundamentalists within it.
"Wars of religions have always existed. We Christians need to apologise too. How many wars have we had?" he said, stressing that Muslims and Christians shared many of the same values.
"Fundamentalism is a sickness in every religion."
He also mentioned that he had given a ride on the Popemobile to the imam who invited him to pray at his mosque in Bangui, and meet the Muslim refugees who have sought sanctuary in the area.
The security situation remained calm throughout the Pope's visit to the city, to the relief of his security detail, and all those who came in their tens of thousands to see Pope Francis for themselves.
As for the Roman Catholic Church in Africa, Pope Francis will have found a church in rude health, with its congregations expanding, and enough African seminarians to provide priests where needed, even as those numbers decline within Europe.
The Pope will also have felt the immense enthusiasm and religiosity amongst both the clergy and the faithful, who lined the streets to cheer him in every country he visited, none with more fervour than the people of Bangui.
"The Pope's visit to Africa demonstrated that the Church - through its schools, hospitals and clinics - is often one of the few stable institutions in some countries," says Christopher Lamb of Catholic weekly, The Tablet, who followed the Pope on his visit.
"This was particularly the case in the Central African Republic. This fact, combined with its numerical growth, means that Africa is likely to emerge as a major force within global Catholicism."
However, Catholicism is losing ground in many parts of Africa to evangelical churches, whose more expressive rituals appeal to the young in particular, although this Pope is one of the most evangelical of recent years.

The Pope will also have learned of some members of the clergy in Africa who do not live out his message of a poor church for the poor - remaining keen to display the earthly signs of wealth and status.
Occasionally, priests in some parishes are known to live with women and even to have fathered children, in defiance of the rule of priestly celibacy.
Yet overall, the Catholic Church in much of Africa is, according to one priest, "more Roman than the Pope," or more socially and theologically conservative than the Pope himself.
The views of the African church will certainly be of increasing importance in Rome in the coming years, as developing nations gradually play an ever more influential role at the Vatican - something this Pope is keen to promote.
However, one thing that the pontiff steered clear of discussing in Africa was homosexuality.
It was a subject the Pope did not address directly during this visit, although LGBT activists believe he should have.
They had hoped he would bring his leadership and moral authority to bear on an issue that can see homosexuals imprisoned for life for having gay sex in Uganda, or beaten up in Kenya.
Asked whether he might change the church's stance on the use of condoms in Africa to prevent the transmission of HIV/Aids, the Pope said the world should first deal with hunger, poverty and the lack of clean water for much of the population of Africa, and the unequal distribution of its wealth, before worrying about condoms.
As well as becoming the first Pope to visit an active war zone in the hope of promoting peace, this visit may also have been aimed at reassuring Africa's Catholics that Pope Francis cares about them and their fate.
Perhaps he also wished to try to make clear that the recent Synod on the Family in Rome does not herald a global split between the more socially conservative African churches and less traditionalist believers elsewhere.
Asked what struck him most on this papal visit, Pope Francis paused briefly as he thought about it.
"It was the joy. The crowds. The capacity to celebrate, even with an empty stomach."

The WRU already owns 50% of the Dragons but plans to take control of the region as well as the stadium.
Newport RFC and Newport County AFC also play at the venue and exact details of the deal are due to be announced on Wednesday.
It comes 11 months since the Dragons announced they were seeking investment.
Ex-Wales and Dragons lock Ian Gough told BBC Radio Wales if the takeover does not take place it will herald "the death of rugby in Gwent".
Importance of a deal
Dragons chairman Martyn Hazell has previously said he believed the deal between the Dragons and the WRU needed to be done quickly.
He stressed the importance of agreeing a deal by warning of the dangers for the region if no agreement could be reached with no viable alternative on the table.
Businessmen Hazell and Tony Brown have been putting money into the region since it started in 2003, a situation he said cannot continue.
"The future of the Dragons is that myself and Tony Brown can't keep pumping money into it. We're both turning 80 within the next few weeks and we can't keep doing it," said Hazell.
Newport RFC 'a key consideration'
The proposals are understood to mean the WRU taking complete control of the Dragons and the Rodney Parade ground.
Hazell and Dragons chief executive Stuart Davies have pressed for a 10-year guarantee under a lease agreement for the Dragons and Newport RFC to continue playing at the historic venue.
That will be among the details that supporters of both clubs are eager to learn and 75% of Newport RFC members must approve the deal.
"From our perspective it's important Newport and the Dragons will be looked after through the deal," said Davies.
"The continued playing of Newport RFC at Rodney Parade has been a key consideration.
"The assurance I can give Newport RFC is we have been protecting their interests."
Newport County could also be affected, though they have a tenancy contract at Rodney Parade until 2023.
Newport RFC play in the Welsh Premiership, the sport's second tier in Wales.
A group of Newport rugby supporters - Friends of Newport Rugby - has expressed concerns over some aspects of the proposed WRU takeover.
Mr Traavik has arranged for the group to play two concerts in Pyongyang in August in front of 2,000 people.
The concert programme will include some of Laibach's hits over their 35-year career and North Korean folk songs.
The band has been slated by some critics because of its ambiguous use of political and nationalist imagery.
But admirers say that their tendency to wear military uniforms on stage is a critique of totalitarian ideology.
Norwegian director Mr Traavik says that in North Korea they will be uncontroversial - even performing songs from The Sound of Music.
Also on their play list is one of this year's most popular hits in North Korea, performed by the all-girl band Moranbong: We Will Go To Mount Paektu.
Mount Paektu is the tallest peak on the Korean peninsula and is the mythological birthplace of the whole Korean nation.
"North Korea is portrayed in the West as the world's most closed country, but in fact it is more open to the outside world than the prevailing media narrative suggests," Mr Traavik said.
"Both the country and the band have been portrayed by some as fascist outcasts. The truth is that both are misunderstood."
The Laibach performances on 19 and 20 August - which coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Korean peninsula's liberation from Japanese colonisation - would never have been possible without Mr Traavik's contacts and artistic direction.
He is one of the few Western directors regularly to have arranged artistic and cultural exchanges with North Korea and over the last five years has won the trust of the authorities.
"Building up that trust is so important for a country that has been cut off from the outside world for so long," Mr Traavik said.
Despite its extremist reputation individual members of Laibach have not been vetted by the North Korean authorities because the director has given his word that they will not cause an upset.
"I have informed the North Korean authorities of their bad boy reputation and reassured them that it is a reputation that can very easily be disproved of.
"If they were really fascist, why would Poland's cultural ministry recently have asked them to reinterpret partisan songs in Warsaw to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the uprising against the Nazis in the city?
"Surely Poland - which arguably suffered most at the hands of the Nazis - would never make such a mistake unless it knew the band is in fact parodying totalitarianism?"
The director argues that much of misunderstanding surrounding the band stems from their tendency in the 1980s and 90s to wear military uniforms on stage.
"But Laibach are not a band making statements, but a band that is always questioning contemporary attitudes," Mr Traavik said.
The BBC One series, in which Suranne Jones plays a GP who suspects her husband of infidelity, beat BBC Two's Wolf Hall and Channel 4's Humans.
Other honourees include British film 45 Years, grime artist Stormzy and Mercury music prize winner Benjamin Clementine.
Elusive artist Banksy missed out on the visual art award for his Dismaland theme park in Weston-super-Mare.
That prize went instead to painter Lynette Yiadom-Boakye for her Verses After Dark exhibition at the Serpentine in London.
Martin McDonagh's black comedy Hangmen was the recipient of the theatre award, while Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan received the comedy award for their Channel 4 sitcom Catastrophe.
Sunday's ceremony at the Savoy Hotel in London also saw Eddie Izzard receive an outstanding contribution award for his contribution to British arts.
The fundraiser and campaigner said it was "a great honour", albeit "bonkers", to get the accolade from fellow comedian Sir Lenny Henry.
Stormzy - real name Michael Omari - received a Breakthrough award at the event, which was hosted by Lord Melvyn Bragg and will be broadcast on Sky Arts on 8 June.
The ceremony also saw Australian comedian Tim Minchin perform a song from his upcoming musical version of the 1993 film Groundhog Day.
Now celebrating their 20th anniversary, the awards are presented annually to "the very best of British culture and achievement".

VirnetX was awarded $368.2m (£231m).
The sum is about half the amount VirnetX had originally demanded and will only cause a small dent in the iPhone-maker's strong balance sheet.
But the ruling could have more serious consequences if VirnetX carries out a threat to block the further use of its innovations in Apple's products.
Apple said it had no comment to make on the case. It still has the right to appeal against the judgement.
VirnetX had alleged that two of its patents - registered in 2002 and 2009 - had been infringed by Apple's iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads.
These referred to ways to establishing a secure communication link between different types of computers using a protocol referred to as TARP (Tunneled Agile Routing Protocol).
VirnetX had previously secured a $200m settlement from Microsoft over similar claims and has made related allegations against Cisco, Siemens and others.
"Apple says they don't infringe, but Apple developers testified that they didn't pay any attention to anyone's patents when developing their system," a lawyer for VirnetX was quoted as saying by the Bloomberg news agency.
Apple had denied infringement saying that VirnetX's patented techniques had only played a small role in its systems.
But the verdict will boost a related claim filed by VirnetX with the US's International Trade Commission which could theoretically lead to a sales ban on Apple products that infringe its technology.
VirnetX is also pursuing a further Facetime-related claim against Apple making reference to four patents which it alleges the Mac computers, iPhones and iPads infringe.
The ruling marks Apple's second patent loss in a week, after a judge dismissed a case it brought against Google's Motorola unit on Monday.
A defeat last month in the UK has seen it ordered to run a notice on its homepage acknowledging that Samsung's tablets had not infringed its European iPad design rights.
In September a German court also rejected Apple's claims that competitors had infringed its multi-touch inventions.
In a sign of further problems to come, Ars Techica has reported that a judge overseeing a US case - in which Apple claims its App Store trademark has been breached by Amazon - had expressed scepticism that consumers would indeed be confused.
But in its favour Apple can cite its massive $1.05bn software and design damages award against Samsung in August.
A judge will review the ruling next month - and consider Apple's claim that several of its rival's handsets be banned.
In the meantime, Apple has just filed a further claim against the South Korean manufacturer based on the allegation that version 4.1 of the Android system, which is installed on several Samsung devices, infringes its own software patents.
The five-day event got underway when the games were opened by Prince Harry in Orlando, Florida.
The prince, who founded the games for injured veterans, said he hoped they would also inspire people affected by mental illness to seek help.
It is the second time the games have been held, following the success of the inaugural event in London in 2014.
Representing Wales as a para-athlete at an international level "is phenomenal" said indoor rowing competitor John Prosser, from Caerphilly.
He has had several parachuting injuries during his 25 years of military service, which has left him with little strength in his legs.
"I am thrilled to be chosen to take part in the 2016 Invictus Games. Taking part in the games will give me the competitive opportunity to see if I can take my training to the next level and develop further.
"The one thing I have learnt over my journey with Welsh Rowing and Sports Recovery at Help for Heroes is the physical and mental healing power of sport."
The Welsh competitors:
During the first 12 years of a 25-year-long military career, Mr Prosser sustained a series of parachute jump injuries. Over the last two years he became determined to get fit again, losing 4st (26kg) following surgery, and with the assistance of Welsh Rowing and Llandaff Rowing Club in Cardiff, he began indoor rowing.
In 2015, he won gold in the Welsh indoor rowing championships, and silver at the British event.
As well as rowing, he is taking part in the 50m freestyle swimming.
A British Army veteran, the former Corporal represented the British team in the first 2014 games. Now a swimming teacher, she has arthritis in her knee. This year she has been swimming again, but is also trying out new sports, including discus and shot.
She said she had used the chance to train for Invictus 2016 to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and hoped it would inspire her daughter to be physically active too.
Corporal Ian Taylor has already been taking part in the opening heats of the games in the 100m freestyle swimming competition.
He suffers from constant and chronic back pain which affects his lower and upper thoracic areas.
Ian feels that participation in the Invictus Games will greatly improve his quality of life.
A former airtrooper in the British Army, Lee suffers from the condition Visceral Somatic Pain Syndrome which results in chronic pain in his lower back and left leg.
He uses a wheelchair and walking aids to get about and uses sport to help his recovery, both physically and mentally.
He represented the GB team in the 2014 games - coming home with a gold medal in the wheelchair basketball event.
Another rower - and swimmer, Mark suffered spinal and leg injuries while serving in Afghanistan. It has also left him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
"You're not disadvantaged when you're competing here," he told one national newspaper as Prince Harry met the British team in London last month.
"All you can do is your best, and as long as you keep pushing and never give up, you can't ask for anything else."
The former Lance-Corporal in the Royal Welsh, his back was fractured in two places by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.
Now he is taking part in the games in both the wheelchair rugby and cycling events.
"I used to cycle and play rugby prior to injury, so it was good to find an adaptive sport that would combine what I used to do," he told Forces TV.
"The aggression and the passion is still the same as what normal rugby players would do."
There is full coverage of the Invictus Games on BBC One Wales and online.

The firm said bills will rise from April by an average 1.65% for metered users, which is below inflation.
As examples, it estimated an average medium-sized factory will pay an additional £54 annually and a farm an extra £3.
NI Water agrees annual tariffs for water and sewerage services with the Utility Regulator.
It said it was able to keep the increase low because of efficiency savings it had made over the last number of years.
Finance Director Ronan Larkin said: "NI Water was able to hold tariffs with no increase in the last financial year.
"Since then, inflation has risen steadily, creating pressure on our operating cost base.
"We have. however, been able to ensure that not all of this inflationary pressure has been passed on to our customers."
About 73,000 business customers have water meters and their charges are slightly lower than those based on property rateable values.
NI Water raises about £73m annually from charging - but the vast majority of its revenue is by way of a subsidy from Stormont in place of household bills.
In 2017/18 this will amount to £270m.
Mr Larkin added: "Taking into account inflation, our non-domestic customers are paying 12% less, on average, for their water and sewerage services than they did five years ago." | The artist behind the controversial Glasgow Effect project has told how she used the outcry it sparked to fuel her work.

The series will see the Malawian comedian will take on the role of "cultural relationship guidance counsellor", the station said.
The history of Britain's relationship with Africa will be explored in the series, called Daliso Chaponda: Citizen of Nowhere.
Daliso said he was "extremely excited" to front the show, which airs in 2018.
"Radio 4 is what I've listened to on trains and buses to gigs for years. I am delighted I'll now be able to tune in to myself," he said.
Daliso has previously co-created and starred in Radio 4's drama When the Laughter Stops in 2014 and he also appeared on The Now Show earlier this year.
The comedian has lived all over the world with his refugee-turned-diplomat father, and now frequently performs in both Africa and the UK.
Last month, he finished in third place in ITV's Britain's Got Talent, behind pianist Tokio Myers and eight-year-old magician Issy Simpson.

The 24.78-carat "fancy intense pink" diamond was sold to a well-known British dealer at an auction in Geneva.
Bidding at the Sotheby's auction was said to be fierce, and the sale surpassed expectations.
Last sold by a New York jeweller 60 years ago, the gem has been kept in a private collection ever since.
The diamond had been expected to command at least £625,000 per carat.
The previous record for a jewel at auction was set by a blue 35.56 carat diamond which sold for £15.2m at auction in 2008.
"This is the highest price ever bid for a jewel at auction," said David Bennett, the head of Sotheby's jewellery division, as the auction room in Geneva's luxury Beau Rivage hotel broke into applause.
It was bought by top diamond trader Laurence Graff, who bid by telephone, Sotheby's said.
The auction house said it sold jewels worth a total of £66m - a world record for a single sale.
Five hundred lots were on sale, including jewellery that belonged to Christina Onassis and Cristina Ford - who was married to Henry Ford II, grandson of the founder of the Ford Motor Company.
"I think this tells you a bit about the health of the market," Mr Bennett told reporters afterwards.
He said the pink stone - which is described as having an emerald cut with gently rounded corners - had a "soft sensual feel".
Pink diamonds of such a size are extremely rare.
"There's only one or two other stones I've seen like this in the 35 years I've been doing this job," said Mr Bennett. "I just love it."
BBC Geneva correspondent Imogen Foulkes said it was a "beautiful, rosy pink with an alluring sparkle".
The Popular Mobilisation announced that its fighters had "liberated" the Unesco World Heritage-listed site "after fierce clashes with the enemy".
The full extent of the damage to Hatra was not immediately clear from a grainy photograph published by the force.
IS has bulldozed, blown up and looted pre-Islamic sites it deems idolatrous.
Unesco has said the deliberate destruction of Iraq's cultural heritage constitutes a war crime.
Shia-led Popular Mobilisation militiamen launched the offensive on Hatra at dawn on Tuesday.
By Wednesday afternoon, they had retaken the archaeological site and had advanced to the edge of the adjacent modern town of Hatra, according to an AFP news agency journalist.
Hatra, located 290 km (180 miles) north-west of Baghdad and 110km south-west of Mosul, was one of the best-preserved of Iraq's archaeological sites before it was seized by IS in 2014.
Possibly founded in the 3rd or 2nd Century BC, it was a religious and trading centre of the Parthian Empire and capital of the first Arab Kingdom.
The city's numerous temples, where Hellenistic and Roman architecture were blended with Eastern decorative features, led to it becoming known as the "House of God".
Its high, thick walls, which were built in a circle and fortified by towers, meanwhile helped it withstand invasions by the Romans in AD116 and 198. It eventually fell to the Persian Sasanian dynasty in AD241.
More recently, the site was used in the opening scene of the 1973 horror film, The Exorcist.
In March 2015, Iraqi officials said they had received reports from locals that IS had destroyed Hatra.
The following month, IS itself released a video showing militants using picks, sledgehammers and assault rifles to destroy Hatra's walls and statues.
In November, a month after launching a major operation to drive IS out of Mosul, Iraqi forces recaptured the ancient city of Nimrud. Much of the site was reduced to rubble, with shattered statues and a ziggurat reduced to a fraction of its size.
The trial at 24 doctors' practices found people vaccinated before lunch produced the most defensive antibodies.
The University of Birmingham team suggested immunising people in tune with the body's natural rhythm could be a cheap way to save lives.
Experts said the study may mark the dawn of making use of "the body clock in the clinic".
Our internal clock alters our alertness, mood, physical strength and even the risk of a heart attack in a daily rhythm.
And our immune system also waxes and wanes through the day.
Find out what is happening in your body right now
The trial looked at 276 healthy people, aged over 65, getting the flu jab before the 2011, 2012 and 2013 flu seasons.
They were vaccinated either in a morning session (09:00 to 11:00) or an afternoon appointment (13:00 to 17:00).
One month later, patients vaccinated in the morning had produced significantly more antibodies against two of the three flu strains in the jab.
Similar antibody levels were produced for the third strain, the results in the journal Vaccine showed.
Dr Anna Phillips, one of the researchers from the University of Birmingham, said the results were meaningful and doctors should "definitely" think about performing flu jabs in the morning.
She told the BBC News website: "A lot of surgeries just try and fit in vaccination anyway so it's not going to risk any patient, it's not going to cost anything and even if we're wrong you've nothing to lose by doing this.
"I think it's fantastic, the idea of an intervention this easy to do and free is unheard of in terms of trying to change NHS practice."
It is not clear exactly what the critical difference between the morning and afternoon immune system is.
Levels of immune messengers called cytokines, the stress hormone cortisol and sex hormones - all of which affect the immune system - fluctuate in a daily rhythm.
And individual white blood cells also have their own internal clocks that alter their activity too.
Andrew Loudon and David Ray, a pair of body clock professors at the University of Manchester, told the BBC News website: "This may be the dawn of the body clock in the clinic.
"This is a most interesting study, and is among the first to show how the body clock can be used to make healthcare interventions more effective.
"There have been major advances in understanding how the body clock can regulate immunity in laboratory animals, but very little of that exciting science has led to changes in healthcare.
"This study shows that a simple intervention, giving the same vaccine at a different time of day, can result in a major gain in effectiveness."
However, other vaccines stimulate the immune system in different ways so it is too simple to conclude that all immunisation should take place before lunch.
There have been some suggestions that hepatitis B vaccination may be more effective in the afternoon.
But the concept of timing medicine to the body clock - the field of chronotherapy - is powerful and is also showing promise in treating cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.

It is the only world the two-year-old has known for the last 17 months after being diagnosed with leukaemia.
Now her mum, Mel, is hoping to take her little girl on a trip around the world - in the form of postcards.
She has launched a social media appeal asking for people to send in postcards to decorate Jessie's room.
They will also be used to teach her sister Macy, seven, about the different countries of the world.
The appeal was picked up on the Facebook page of Sheffield Online on Monday and has been shared more than 5,500 times.
Postcards have already come flooding into the children's hospital from Liverpool and York and as far away as the US, New Zealand and Australia.
Mel, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, said: "It's already had a massive impact on Jessie.
"Just seeing her with Macy, the two of them sat on the bed next to each other passing out an envelope each and saying 'go', and both trying to get into them.
"They were sat there and Macy was reading them to Jessie. It was amazing seeing the smiles on their faces.
"We've had a couple of animal ones and Jessie loves animals and as soon as she sees them that's it.
"One of them was of a kangaroo and she was over the moon, 'hop hop hop'. She loves them."
Jessie had a bone marrow transplant last year but suffered complications which has meant she has been unable to leave hospital and has to stay in isolation.
Mel says she had the idea for the postcards to decorate Jessie's room which the family have "had to make into our home".
"I thought it would be really nice to brighten the girls' room up and in the process teach Macy about different countries and where they are and teach Jessie there is more than four walls and a view out of the window.
"There's a big world out there we would like to take her to see."
Mel says her daughters have received around 500 postcards and letters in the post since the appeal was launched.
One woman also donated a rucksack containing around 2,000 postcards which she had collected throughout her life.
"I'm so overwhelmed by the response by people out there, that don't know us or what we've been through, taking the time to read and share it and send stuff in," said Mel.
"It's amazing. I didn't think we'd get anywhere near the amount of shares, let alone the amount of post cards.
"I'm just asking people to send a card if they go on holiday or if they have a favourite place they go to - we call our happy place - take a picture and let us see."
Postcards can be sent to Jessie and Macy Stocks at Sheffield Children's Hospital.
English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish representatives held discussions on the topic while attending the Uefa Congress in Helsinki, Finland.
Men's and women's sides competed under the GB banner during the 2012 Olympics.
Plans for the teams to compete at the 2016 Games were scrapped after protests from the Irish, Scottish and Welsh FAs.
Though there is no prospect of a return for a men's side, it is believed there could be a possibility of a women's team competing in 2020.
The associations of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have traditionally been against teams playing under a GB flag for fear of losing their status as independent football nations.
Wales boss Chris Coleman has previously said he is not in favour of the idea.
"I cannot accept we should be a Great Britain team. I think that is wrong. Our independence would possibly go away," former Football Association of Wales (FAW) president Trefor Lloyd Hughes told BBC Wales Sport.
British Olympic chiefs have already said they are in favour of fielding GB soccer teams in Tokyo.

Adnan Akmal scored 74 not out as the hosts made 192, losing 12 wickets on day one of a two-day match as both teams agreed to spend a day batting.
Finn took 4-16 but will battle with Mark Wood for the third seamer's place.
Meanwhile, leg-spinner Adil Rashid, pushing for a Test debut, took 3-53.
Finn, who took eight Australian wickets to win the third Ashes Test in July, and Wood played alongside Stuart Broad in the last two Tests against Australia after James Anderson was injured.
But Finn expects Wood, Broad and the fit-again Anderson to be selected for the first Test, which begins on 13 October in Abu Dhabi, after the other three all played in the opening warm-up game earlier this week.
"I'd say I've staked a claim but I'd still be surprised if I played the first Test," said the Middlesex bowler, who took the new ball with fellow paceman Liam Plunkett.
"I think the guys bowled really well the other day, and it wouldn't surprise me if the team that was picked then is the team for the first Test.
"At the moment, I'm back-up to those guys but nothing is set in stone."
Finn's match-winning Ashes performance at Edgbaston came after he doubted if he would play Test cricket again during his two-year absence from the longest format.
On that occasion, Wood was rested and Finn believes it will be a straight pick between him and the Durham seamer.
"There will be disappointed people, regardless of who gets picked," added Finn. "I don't think the same attack is going to play all the way through the series.
"So if you don't play the first Test, it's not the end of the world - there are two others in very quick succession."
Attention will turn to England's batting on Friday, with Moeen Ali and Alex Hales both auditioning for the role as captain Alastair Cook's opening partner.
He won 61.8% of the vote, a larger margin of victory than last year.
He vowed to bring Labour back together, saying "we have much more in common than divides us", insisting the party could win the next election as the "engine of progress" in the country.
More than half a million party members, trade unionists and registered supporters voted in the contest.
In a result announced on the eve of Labour's party conference in Liverpool, Mr Corbyn won 313,209 votes, compared with Mr Smith's 193,229.
Speaking to the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg after his victory, Mr Corbyn said the debate about who led the party was "now over" and Labour needed to take its message on the economy, education and the NHS to the country.
Asked what steps he would take to reconcile critical MPs, he said some form of elections to the shadow cabinet were "absolutely in the mix" although he declined to rule out the possible deselection of sitting MPs in the run-up to the next election.
"I think you will see a lot of changes over the next few weeks," he said.
"They (MPs) have no need to worry at all because it is all about democracy. We are all democratically accountable to our party and to our constituents. They have no need to worry at all. I am reaching out."

Victory will be sweet - not just because it is a confirmation of his remarkable support among thousands upon thousands of members around the country.
It is Mr Corbyn's second defeat of the Labour establishment, who many of his supporters believe have tried to undermine the leader consistently over the last 12 months.
They talk of a "surge in the purge" as the leadership contest progressed - party officials vetting and checking new supporters who had registered to vote.
There are claims that Labour HQ deliberately threw Corbyn supporters off the voting lists to reduce the size of his victory. Corbyn supporters believe many MPs have done nothing in the past year other than try to damage his leadership and today they will be shown to have failed badly in their attempt to oust him.

In his acceptance speech, Mr Corbyn said he was "honoured" to have been elected in a contest that followed months of tension with many Labour MPs and urged people to "respect the democratic choice that has been made".
Addressing supporters, Mr Corbyn said he and his opponents were part of the "same Labour family" and everyone needed to focus their energy "on exposing and defeating the Tories".
"We have much more in common than divides us," he said. "Let us wipe that slate clean from today and get on with the work that we have to do as a party," he said.
Recognising that the election had been "partisan", he condemned online abuse of Labour MPs and supporters which he said "demeaned and corroded" the party.
Mr Smith, who had previously ruled out returning to the front bench, said he respected the result and the onus was on Mr Corbyn to "heal divisions and unite our movement".
"Jeremy has won the contest," he said. "He now has to win the country and he will have my support in trying to do so."
Mr Corbyn was first elected Labour leader in September 2015, when he beat three other candidates and got 59.5% of the vote.
Turnout was higher this time around, with 77.6% of the 654,006 eligible party members, trade union members and registered supporters - 506,438 in total - confirmed as taking part.
Mr Corbyn won comfortably in each of the three categories - winning the support of 59% of party members, 70% of registered supporters and 60% of affiliated supporters.
Despite winning the leadership in a vote of the wider membership and registered supporters last year Mr Corbyn, who spent three decades as part of a marginalised leftwing group of Labour MPs in Parliament, has never had the support of more than about 20% of Labour's MPs.
And the contest came about after more than 170 MPs supported a motion of no confidence in their leader - that confidence vote came after dozens quit his shadow cabinet and other frontbench roles.
There has been speculation that a number of critical Labour MPs could return in an attempt to heal the divisions over the party's future direction although a number are only prepared to do so if elections to the shadow cabinet - which were scrapped in 2011 in favour of the leader picking his own team - are reinstated.
Sources have told the BBC that there was a brief discussion of the issue at a meeting of Labour's ruling National Executive Committee on Saturday evening but no conclusions were reached and none are likely this week.
Saturday's result was welcomed by leading trade unions while Momentum - the campaign group spawned by Mr Corbyn's victory last year - hailed it as a "fantastic win".
Shadow health secretary Diane Abbott, a key ally of the leader, said opponents of Mr Corbyn had "thrown everything but the kitchen sink" at him.
"It was a hard campaign but the membership came out for Jeremy because they realised he had not been given a chance and had been treated unfairly," she said.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said it was up to Mr Corbyn's critics to decide whether they wanted to serve under him, insisting he wanted "unity and stability" and there was a "way we can accommodate everybody".
Labour MP Chuku Umunna said the "leadership issue was settled" and Mr Corbyn, through his re-election, was the party's "candidate to be prime minister".
Former leader Ed Miliband said it was "time to unite and focus on the country".
But Labour MP Louise Ellman said Mr Corbyn must appeal to more than his "cheering fans" and the public at large weren't "impressed with him and that needs to change".
"It's no good being surrounded by people who already agree with you. That is not enough."
The Conservatives said Mr Corbyn's re-election would not end the "bitter power struggle" within the opposition.
"172 Labour MPs don't think Jeremy Corbyn can lead the Labour Party - so how can he lead the country?" said party chairman Patrick McLoughlin.
The Lib Dems said Mr Corbyn was an "ineffectual leader" who had failed to stand up for the national interest during the EU referendum.
The Green Party was more conciliatory, offering the leader their congratulations.
"We look forward to working with Jeremy to oppose the Conservatives and to bring about a progressive government at the next election," said co-leader Caroline Lucas.
But UKIP leader Diane James tweeted: "The millions of Labour voters who want to see immigration cut and Brexit delivered are welcome in UKIP."
Viviane Reding wrote that she was concerned America's efforts "could have grave adverse consequences for the fundamental rights of EU citizens".
A series of leaks suggest major tech firms have passed information to the National Security Agency, the US government's snooping organisation.
Experts say they could now be sued.
"European data protection laws put restrictions on how data gathered about people, including social networking data, can be used," said Dr Ian Brown, associate director of Oxford University's Cyber Security Centre.
"The firms will now face serious questions from national data commissioners and even potentially from individual users in Europe over whether they followed all the European data protection laws that are supposed to stop things like this happening."
According to leaked documents published by the Guardian and Washington Post newspapers, the NSA can order internet firms to give it access to private emails, online chats, pictures, files, videos and other data uploaded by foreign users.
Google has said that its compliance with the requests did not give the US government "unfettered access to our users' data", but notes that nondisclosure obligations prevented it providing detailed information to the public.
Along with Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter, it has asked to be able to be allowed to publish information about the number and scope of the requests received.
Media reports suggested Yahoo, PalTalk, AOL and Apple have also been involved in Prism.
US intelligence chiefs have said that the data-sweeps save lives by helping thwart terror plots.
In her letter to Eric Holder, Ms Reding asks questions on seven areas of concern about Prism and other US data surveillance programmes:
Ms Reding added that American law enforcers should only be given access to EU citizens' data being held on US companies' servers in "clearly defined, exceptional and judicially reviewable situations".
A spokeswoman for the commissioner confirmed the letter had been sent on Monday evening, and that Ms Reding expected detailed replies to her questions when she meets Mr Holder at a previously scheduled event in Dublin on Friday.
It follows outrage over several recent violent crimes, including the gang-rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl.
President Joko Widodo said the regulation was "intended to overcome the crisis caused by sexual violence against children".
Previously, the maximum sentence for rape, of either an adult or a child, was 14 years in jail.
People jailed for sexual offences against children may also now be made to wear electronic monitoring devices after their release.
The gang rape of 14-year-old Yuyun on her way home from school and the rape and brutal murder of a 18-year-old factory worker this month have sparked national outrage.
In polls and on social media there is widespread support for tougher punishments including castration and the death penalty for perpetrators, particularly when children are the victims.
But a number of leading rights activists have voiced their dissent.
Mariana Aminudi from the National Commission on Violence Against Women said on Twitter: "The castration law is evidence that the government does not view sexual assaults as act of violence but merely as a matter of controlling sexual urges."
While Sandra Moniaga from the National Commission on Human Rights wrote: "Violence will not be stopped by violent punishments."
Introduced by emergency presidential decree, the new rules are in effect immediately but could be overturned by parliament at a later date.
"An extraordinary crime deserves an exceptional response", Mr Widodo said.
The Steelmen face Premiership rivals Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday with a place in the fifth round at stake.
"I think they seem to have improved. They lost the Old Firm match, but even within that match they played well in large spells," said the Well captain.
"We know we are up against it. But we are capable of competing against anybody in this division on our day."
The Scottish Cup tie at Ibrox is the first of 14 on Saturday, and Lasley is under no illusions as to the challenge they face.
"They [Rangers] have brought in a couple of new faces," Lasley said of his opponents who sit second in the Premiership.
"I think they are starting to gel better than they had done in the early part of the season, and at home they will be a tough proposition.
Lasley feels Rangers are on their way to showing they are the second best side in Scotland this year.
"They are at the moment according to the league, and I believe at the moment they probably are," he said.
"I think recent results have proved that. I expect them to finish there [second] at the end of the season to be honest."
"Of course it is going to be tough. It is probably one of the toughest draws you can get at this stage of the cup - take away Celtic, it's probably the next toughest assignment at the moment."
However, Lasley is confident the Steelmen can hold their own at Ibrox.
"We feel capable on our day in a cup competition especially. Our recent performances against Rangers and against Celtic, against the better teams in this league, give us the belief and confidence that we can compete against anybody."
This will be Motherwell's second visit to Ibrox this season. Back in August they took the lead through Scott McDonald, before goals from Harry Forrester and a 90th-minute winner from Kenny Miller saw Rangers take all three points.
"I think anybody that saw the last meeting at Ibrox would concede that we were very unfortunate to take nothing from that game," said Lasley.
"In fact, at one point in the game well into the second-half we're thinking we would be disappointed not to win this match - never mind take nothing from it.
"We can't control Rangers tomorrow. What we can control is turning up and giving our best and being at our best. If we do then I think we have a good chance of progression."
Sir Bruce began his career in showbusiness when he was aged just 14, becoming a household name for presenting shows such as the Generation Game and The Price is Right.
Most recently, he presented Strictly Come Dancing with Tess Daly from 2004 to 2014.
He was knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours in 2011, becoming Sir Bruce Forsyth.
Sir Bruce had been unwell for some time and was in hospital earlier this year.
Strictly Come Dancing presenter, Claudia Winkleman tweeted: "He was the King of TV, the Prince of performers and the most generous of people... all toe-tapping twinkle, all kindness, all love...."
Bruce's Strictly co-presenter Tess Daly said: "There are no words to describe how heartbroken I am to be told the saddest news, that my dear friend Sir Bruce Forsyth has passed away. From the moment we met, Bruce and I did nothing but laugh our way through a decade of working together on Strictly Come Dancing and I will never forget his generosity, his brilliant sense of humour and his drive to entertain the audiences he so loved."
Joe Sugg tweeted: "An Inspirational entertainer. You will be sadly missed Sir Bruce Forsyth RIP."
Former Strictly contestant Georgia May Foote tweeted this tribute: "Oh so sad to hear Sir Bruce Forsyth has passed away. An absolute legend. My thoughts are with his family."
CBBC Top Class presenter, Susan Calman, who will be on this year's Strictly wrote: "RIP Sir Bruce Forsyth. I always wanted to be be his favourite. He was mine."
Former Newsround Presenter and Strictly winner Ore Oduba said: "My hero, Sir Bruce Forsyth. Nobody did it better. RIP Brucie."
Shirley Ballas, who is joining the new series of Strictly as a judge, tweeted this tribute: "I was a huge fan of Sir Bruce Forsyth. As a little girl I would watch all his shows. I found him so loveable and funny. It's a sad day."
Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli tweeted: "So sad A new⭐️in heaven goodbye dear friend and national treasure #sirbruceforsyth I will forever treasure the fun time we had together ❤️"
Len Goodman, Strictly's former head judge, has remembered Sir Bruce: "He was so kind and encouraging to me, the other judges and all those involved in the show. I used to pop round to his dressing room and chat about stars he met. The truth is there was no one I mentioned he hadn't met. His work ethic, professionalism and charm will be with me forever. One of his catchphrases was 'you're my favourite'. Well, you were one of mine and the nation's favourites. Bruce, it was nice to see you, to see you, nice."
The warning came as figures showed a rise in children, worried about online abuse and grooming, contacting the charity's Childline service.
Counselling sessions for young people worried about online sexual abuse rose 24% to 3,716 in 2015-16.
The Home Office described it as "a global problem" adding that "the UK is at the forefront of efforts to combat this dreadful crime".
Childline's figures also showed that:
"Most of us talk to people online and it's a great way to stay connected and make new friends," said NSPCC chief executive Peter Wanless.
"But it can be a playground for paedophiles, exposing young people to groomers who trawl social networks and online game forums exploiting any vulnerabilities they may find."
Mr Wanless he said that he hoped that by putting the issue into the spotlight, more people would feel able to speak up if they were worried or scared by a situation or relationship.
Childline founder Esther Rantzen said the internet had brought many positive changes but added: "It has also brought dangers and online grooming is a real risk."
The charity's new Listen To Your Selfie campaign aims to help young people recognise the signs of grooming and unhealthy relationships.
It includes two films where selfies come to life and question a situation.
The Game focuses on a same-sex online grooming scenario and The Party highlights peer-to-peer sexual pressure and grooming.
One 16-year-old girl said her boyfriend was older and made her share images with his friends online.
"He gives me money and food when I go online and do things via webcam.
"I have not told anyone else what is happening, I am so scared and drink to forget.
"I just know I am not normal, I am weird and nobody understands. I am disgusting, so rather me than another young girl."
A 15-year-old boy feared he was being groomed by a man he had met online.
"He has asked for pictures and one time I made the mistake of sending a nude selfie.
"He won't show me any pictures of him, which makes me think he is fake. I have not agreed to meet him because I am scared. He has threatened to show my nude selfie to the world.
"I am gay, but nobody knows, so it would ruin me if people found out. I cry myself to sleep every night with worry."
A Home Office spokeswoman said the National Crime Agency was working closely with social media companies and police in the UK and overseas to identify offenders and their victims, with GCHQ helping target the most technologically advanced offenders and specialist funding almost doubled.
"The sexual exploitation of children is a heinous crime and this government will do whatever it takes to tackle offenders and prevent abuse wherever it takes place," said the spokeswoman.

How? By incubating 10 eggs with his own body heat.
He will live inside a glass vivarium until his charges hatch, watched by visitors to the Palais de Tokyo museum in Paris.
Poincheval expects the process to last between 21 and 26 days.
"I will, broadly speaking, become a chicken," he said.
The artist, 44, began the performance - titled "Oeuf" (Egg) - on Wednesday.
Rather than sitting on the eggs directly, he is deploying a chair with a container under its seat.
Poincheval will be wrapped in an insulating blanket designed by Korean artist Seglui Lee, to keep his body temperature high.
He also plans to eat "heating" foods like ginger to generate more body warmth - and will have provisions in easy reach.
Lavatorial matters are not so simple. Poincheval will use a box beneath him when nature calls, and will not be able to get up to relieve himself.
To hatch the eggs successfully, he will only be able to stand and leave them for 30 minutes a day. That time will be used for meals.
The egg enterprise comes less than a month after Poincheval's last effort "Pierre" (Stone), where he lived inside a hollowed-out limestone rock shaped to fit his body.
The Palais de Tokyo said the artist was "trying to escape from human time and experience mineral speed".
Prior to that, he spent a fortnight in April 2014 living inside a hollowed-out bear in Paris's Museum of Hunting and Nature, eating worms and beetles to mirror the animal's diet.
According to Poincheval, the best way to understand objects is not from a distance, but by entering them.
The fate of the unborn chickens should - appropriately - be clear after Easter.
She took first place on the podium after winning the women's SM14 200m individual medley on Saturday night.
Firth, from Seaforde in County Down, broke her own Paralympic record with a time of 2:19.55 to win the race.
Her golden hat trick came after she successfully defended her 100m backstroke title and won the 200m freestyle gold in Rio last week.
She also won a silver medal in the 100m breaststroke final, considered the weakest of her four events.
Firth said that, as the medley was her last event in Rio she wanted to make a splash.
"I wanted to do something special and I'm so happy with my performance."
Her record-breaking win saw her clinch victory ahead of her British teammate Jessica-Jane Applegate.
The British one-two topped off a very successful night in the pool for the ParalympicsGB team.
Oliver Hynd smashed the world record in the 200m individual medley SM8 to retain his Paralympic title.
Firth's teammate Hannah Russell won her second gold medal in the 50m freestyle S12.
"We're such a good team, Great Britain were really pushing each other on," Firth said.
"When we saw Ollie win his gold and Hannah win the gold, it just sort of pushes each other on," she added.
Firth, who is 20, competes in the S14 class for swimmers with an intellectual disability.
Director Zack Snyder said the three-time Oscar nominee has "the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful".
Adams will star alongside Britain's Henry Cavill in the as yet untitled film, set for release in December 2012.
The 36-year-old actress was recently seen in boxing drama The Fighter.
She was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar for her role but the award went to her co-star Melissa Leo.
In the four Superman films starring Christopher Reeve, Daily Planet reporter Lois was played by Margot Kidder.
Kate Bosworth took over the part when the Man of Steel was revived in 2006 in Superman Returns.
Diane Lane and Kevin Costner have also landed roles in Snyder's film, in which they will play Superman's adoptive father and mother.
Snyder's latest movie Sucker Punch is released in the UK on Friday.
Team Sky's Froome clawed back breaks from Vincenzo Nibali, Alberto Contador and Nairo Quintana on the gruelling 15.8km climb up Plateau de Beille.
The Briton is still two minutes 52 seconds ahead of Tejay van Garderen.
Spaniard Rodriguez overhauled Michal Kwiatkowski in driving rain late on to win the 195km route from Lannemezan.
It was the second stage win of the Tour for the 36-year-old Spaniard after he triumphed up the sharp climb of the Mur de Huy in Belgium on stage three.
Rodriguez understandably punched the air as he crossed the line in torrential conditions at the end of the third and final stage in the Pyrenees.
But further down the road a desperate battle was playing out as Froome's rivals tried to take time out of the Team Sky rider.
It was as though the other teams were working in concert to try to isolate and expose Froome, with Alejandro Valverde as well as Contador, Nibali and, finally, Quintana all sprinting off the front of the ever-diminishing yellow jersey group.
But Team Sky did not panic and Froome was superbly aided by Richie Porte and, after the Australian fell back, the excellent Geraint Thomas.
Froome at one point tried to attack himself but he was quickly caught and briefly isolated while Thomas hauled his way up the road to rejoin his team leader.
"I was hoping maybe one or two guys might switch off mentally with that acceleration," explained Froome.
"But everybody seemed pretty fresh so at that point I just said 'OK, I'm just going to try to get to the line today in the best condition possible and hopefully not lose any time'."
In the end Valverde did sprint clear close to the line but he only managed to take one second off Froome and remains almost four minutes behind.
After a relatively quiet Wednesday, when the leaders appeared content to catch their breath and let Rafal Majka claim a breakaway victory, it was widely expected that Froome's form would be tested on Thursday.
There were attacks from the start of the day and early disappointment for Movistar's British rider Alex Dowsett, who abandoned shortly after slipping off the back of the main group.
Dowsett had sustained a painful elbow injury after crashing on the cobbles earlier in the race and later said: "Was beaten by the Tour this year. Sad to be heading home, stomach problems in the night was the final nail in the coffin. Will be back."
A group of 22 riders eventually got clear and built a steady lead that grew to more than 10 minutes.
That lead remained fairly steady for some time, although the size of the group varied as the breakaway made its way along a stage that comprised two category one climbs and one category two before the brutal finish.
World road race champion Kwiatkowski and Sep Vanmarcke eventually broke clear, with the former going out on his own.
But on the slopes of Plateau de Beille Rodriguez showed superb form and determination to catch Kwiatkowski and finish more than a minute clear of Jakob Fuglsang with Frenchman Romain Bardet third.
The Tour moves on from the Pyrenees on Friday, with a 198.5km transitional stage from Muret to Rodez that could end with a sprint finish.
BBC Sport's Matt Slater: "In much the same way that rain can freshen up the dullest of F1 races, the worst weather at this year's Tour helped produce the best action.
"We had great riders in different groups all along the road to the final fearsome climb up to Plateau de Beille and each of those groups provided their own storylines.

"Most of those who still harbour hopes of taking the yellow jersey from Team Sky's Chris Froome had a more frustrating day as the British star and his wonderful wingmen Richie Porte and Geraint Thomas deflected everything thrown at them.

The 18-year-old is in the Great Britain squad for the UCI BMX World Championships later this month.
Compatriot Bethany Shriever also made the final but finished sixth.
Reade, who went on to become a multiple BMX and track world champion, retired from competitive cycling this year.
Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto was also fined some $260,000 (£165,000).
Rabbi Pinto had offered cash in return for classified information on a police probe into one of his charities.
The rabbi, believed to be one of Israel's wealthiest, has a large following among celebrities and business people in the US.
He is a great-grandson of a famous Moroccan mystical rabbi, Israel Abuchatzera, also known as the Baba Sali.
Rabbi Pinto had entered a plea bargain at the Tel Aviv court, agreeing to testify that he had bribed another senior police chief, the former head of Israel's national crimes squad.
Mr Clark has tweeted that he's "thrilled" to be appointed and that he will build on the work of the "brilliant" David Willetts.
He will combine the role with his existing portfolio as cities minister.
One of his first tasks will be to convince the research community that the importance of science has not been downgraded as a result of the merger.
By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent, BBC News
As the youngest member of the Cabinet, Liz Truss will be welcomed by many as marking a distinct change from the divisive Owen Paterson.
Mr Paterson's views on climate change, genetically modified foods and especially the badger cull earned the deep distrust of environmental campaigners while generating support among farmers.
Greens were quick to put the boot into the departing Mr Paterson dubbing him the "worst environment secretary in decades".
"Mr Paterson has wilfully ignored scientific evidence on climate change, championed pesticide firms instead of bees and massively underinvested in flood defences, leaving thousands of households at risk of future flooding," said Andy Atkins from Friends of the Earth.
But Mr Paterson's adoption of new measures to tackle bovine TB including the controversial badger cull won him hearts and minds in the countryside.
His sacking has been described as "disappointing" by National Farmers Union President, Meurig Raymond.
With her background as a strong advocate of the free market and as a former employee of Shell, many greens will be cautious about the new Secretary.
Ms Truss is reported to have concerns about the use of agricultural land for solar plants and the subsidies these operations accumulate.
According to the vote tracking website, the Public Whip, Ms Truss has voted in favour of measures to stop global warming around 48% of the time. Her predecessor, Mr Paterson, has a slightly stronger record of support at 53%.
She has twice voted in favour of the badger cull in 2013.
As an MP from South West Norfolk, she has been active in supporting farmers on issues including reform of the Common Agricultural Policy and in ensuring that farmland stays in production for food.
She is a strong advocate of improvements to rural infrastructure - according to her website she is "determined to find new ways and funding to bring good roads, faster broadband and reliable energy supplies" to country areas.
One issue that she has been associated with is the way that the Environment Agency values agricultural land when assessing flood schemes. She has lobbied Defra on this issue. Now as Environment Secretary she will have the chance to do something about it.
Owen Paterson was removed from his post as Environment Secretary in the reshuffle. The 38-year-old Liz Truss will take over the brief from him.
Mr Clark is an economist and a former treasury minister. He has a reputation for being a deep thinker and in the same analytical mould as his predecessor David "two brains" Willetts.
Many in the scientific community hope that Mr Clark's links with the Chancellor, George Osborne, will stand them in good stead.
He will however have to answer questions about his decision to support a Parliamentary motion supporting the availability of homeopathic medicines on the NHS in 2007.
It is thought he did so because he has a homeopathic hospital in his Tunbridge Wells constituency. Mr Clark will no doubt be asked whether he believes homeopathic remedies are effective and if he would advocate their use to treat serious illnesses.
The science minister's primary role is to oversee research spending and the running of universities. In science, his chief aim will be to hold together the research base which has been creaking under the weight of having to shoulder year on year real terms cuts.
It has been reported that the science brief will be split with the appointment of George Freeman as life sciences minister. But the role has existed before and is likely to have been recreated because of the strategic importance placed on the sector.
Mr Willetts will be a tough act to follow - he has received warm tributes from the scientific community following his departure.
His critics say he oversaw a real terms cut in science spending. His fans, who are in the vast majority, argue that he saved science from the axe and used his considerable guile to win over the support of Mr Osborne.
Mr Willetts' achievements include nurturing the vibrant UK space sector and he was due to take a salute from the community for announcing plans to have a UK launch site for space planes at the Farnborough Air show today. He is also said to have played a big part in the selection of British astronaut Tim Peake for a mission to the International Space Station next year.
Prof Sir Paul Nurse, president of the Royal Society, said Mr Willetts had been an "outstanding" science minister and Dr Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, said Mr Willetts would be "sadly missed".
The former Astronomer Royal, Prof Lord Rees, described him as a really "really admirable politician".

They were among five girls who began to struggle in the water, close to Ross Rowing Club on Rope Walk, Ross-on-Wye at about 19:30 BST on Tuesday, West Midlands Ambulance Service said.
Members of the rowing club helped rescue the girls, aged 15 and 17, who were checked by crews.
The 17-year-old girl was was taken to hospital as a precaution.

Ambulance service spokesman Murray MacGregor said: "Two members of Ross Rowing Club went into the water, while others used a rowing boat to get to the youngsters.
"In the meantime, one of the club's rescue launches was also launched.
"Three of the girls were able to get out of the water themselves. A 17-year-old girl was rescued from the side by the launch and a 15-year-old was rescued from the water by the rowing boat."
Phelan had been in temporary charge since Steve Bruce's departure in the summer, with the club currently 15th in the Premier League table.
A good start saw the 54-year-old named manager of the month for August.
In September, Phelan revealed he was offered the job on a full-time basis but there had since been no contact amid the club's search for a new owner.
"I'm very relieved," Phelan said on the club website. "It's been a while in coming."
Phelan added he was "looking forward" to the first full-time management role of his career, saying: "It's exciting to step over that threshold."
The newly-promoted Tigers surprised many by winning their first two games of the season despite a summer of turmoil and stretched playing resources.

Since then, however, they have gone five games in the league without a further win, picking up just one point. They have reached the fourth round of the EFL Cup, and travel to Bristol City next.
Former Manchester United assistant manager Phelan first arrived at Hull City in February 2015 when named assistant to Bruce, who this week was appointed manager at Championship side Aston Villa.
Hull, who have beaten champions Leicester and Swansea this season, visit Bournemouth on Saturday.
The club also confirmed on Thursday that Stephen Clemence had left the club to join Aston Villa as first-team coach under Bruce.

Jess Ratty is a woman with a mission. She wants us all to get better at promoting ourselves professionally online - and creating our own career opportunities along the way.
Given that changing jobs can be one of the hardest things we do, many of us might welcome anything that makes switching jobs easier.
According to a survey by Hired, eight in 10 of us say we find changing jobs stressful - and more stressful than moving house, planning a wedding or even having root canal work.
When it comes to job-hunting, Jess says the key is not to let your stress stop you from taking action: "Don't fret about things so much, or worry about how you might come across."
It's something she has put into practice in her own career.
Now a senior executive at Crowdfunder, the UK's biggest crowd-funding platform which raises funds from small investors, Jess says she's come a long way since dropping out of school.
She started work at the Eden Project in Cornwall as a waitress, and says it was her colleagues who helped her realise she "could maybe start achieving great things myself."
So she set about creating an online professional profile as a shop window for herself - and says having an active online presence has been crucial for her career.
"Crowdfunder found me through LinkedIn and went on to offer me a job."
Crowdfunder's Dawn Bebe, who recruited Jess, says what's important for her when recruiting someone "is getting a sense of what they are like and what they are passionate about".
Jess's experience is increasingly common, says Darain Faraz of LinkedIn.
"A lot of the time, most people aren't looking for work, they are what we call passive candidates. But LinkedIn can help jobs look for you."
Yet this only works if you have a complete profile, and sadly us Brits are not very good at self-promotion.
We're more likely to share food pictures on our social media channels than our work successes or announcements of a new job.
"People do make judgements based on our online profiles," says Darain.
And be assured, recruiters will also check your Twitter activity and Facebook profile as well: "Make sure that how you position yourself online is how you want to be seen," he adds.
"You don't want your Saturday night becoming your Monday morning."
The mistake many of us make is to only use professional networking sites when we're looking for a new role, says Darain.
But what recruiters want to see is a track record, so that they can judge whether or not we are right for a job.
"One of the first things we do is check [online] for potential candidates in the right geographical area who have the skills and interests that we think would work for us," says Crowdfunder's Dawn Bebe.
The jobs recruitment sector has changed markedly in the past few years, with a vast amount of job searching and head-hunting now done online with sites such as Monster, Reed, Viadeo and Xing.
LinkedIn has about 400 million members worldwide (in the UK it has 20 million members - some 60% of Britain's working population and students) and last year Microsoft paid over $26bn (£18bn) for LinkedIn.
Now Facebook, with more than a billion monthly active users, has launched Workplace; it's a platform designed to help workers talk to each other, in-house.
While it is currently for use within firms, given Facebook's size it has the potential to be a serious rival to LinkedIn.
Jess has her own tip for young professionals.
"You need to be creative and inventive with your online profile if you want to stand out," she says.
"You need to be consistent if you are using it to develop your career."
Jess says she always wanted to make her career in her home county - Cornwall.
Besides working for Crowdfunder, she and her partner have now set up the Cornwall Camper Company, hiring out restored VW campervans to holidaymakers.
She points out that thanks to online networking sites, "you can make a big impact wherever you are".
But she also has this important piece of advice. Merely being online is no substitute for professional knowledge and commitment, she cautions: "You've got to know your stuff."

Edmund, 22, claimed his first Wimbledon win on Tuesday and meets Monfils on Centre Court at 13:00 BST.
Edmund will hope to become the fifth British player to reach the last 32 following wins for Andy Murray, Johanna Konta, Heather Watson and Aljaz Bedene.
Former champions Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic plus women's top seed Angelique Kerber also play on Thursday.
Seven-time winner Federer plays Serbia's Dusan Lajovic third on Centre Court at about 17:00, while two-time champion Djokovic will open play on Court One against Czech Adam Pavlasek.
They will be followed by Austrian eighth seed Dominic Thiem and France's Gilles Simon, before women's top seed Kerber of Germany takes on Belgian Kirsten Flipkens.
Czech third seed Karolina Pliskova faces a tough test against in-form Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia, who has a 14-1 record on grass this year, in the second match on Centre Court.
Former semi-finalist Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina, the 29th seed, plays Latvia's Ernests Gulbis on court three, with the winner potentially facing Djokovic in round three.
Edmund, ranked 50th, will hope his fortunes are on the up after arriving at Wimbledon without a coach or a grass-court win in 2017, and having lost all four previous matches at the All England Club.

His first-round win over British qualifier Alex Ward set up the chance to take on Monfils, the extrovert Frenchman widely regard as the best athlete in the sport.
The 30-year-old won junior Wimbledon in 2004 but his professional record on grass has been modest, with the third round his best effort in eight previous trips to Wimbledon.
"He's obviously a very good athlete, moves well, makes a lot of balls," said Edmund.
"He has very, very easy power when he wants to hit it. Sometimes I think he likes to put more balls in play, maybe use his movement to win points.
"But it will be tough. He's obviously made the final last week [at Eastbourne], playing well. He's got good confidence."
Pat Cash, 1987 Wimbledon champion
"Monfils is a bit nuts, he's super-talented, and he's got all the shots. He's an unbelievable athlete. All the players in the locker room are just glued to the TV when he plays, wondering what's going to happen next - sliding, splits, diving all over the court.
"Kyle has got to use his forehand well. They play quite similarly in that they both take big swings, and Kyle's got some real power on his forehand. He's got to play a great game and get in and be aggressive, take it to Gael.
"It's a tough match but I don't see it as an impossible task for Kyle."
Martina Navratilova, nine-time Wimbledon champion
"On grass, Gael stays too far behind the baseline and has a really big loopy swing on his forehand, so just not enough time to hit the forehand and recover. He covers the court so well but he just runs out of space and time here. But I'd say he's got much more focused - he seems to be more serious about his game."
Investigators targeted more than 280 nail bars in Edinburgh, London and Cardiff as part of the government's Operation Magnify on "risk" industries.
Immigration minister Robert Goodwill vowed to tackle the "barbaric crime" of modern slavery by targeting businesses.
The government said it would identify and help potential trafficking victims.
Most of the 97 people held were Vietnamese nationals, but they also included immigrants from Mongolia, Ghana, China, Nigeria, Pakistan and India.
Immigration officers visited the nail bars across the UK between 27 November and 3 December.
They sent warnings to 68 businesses that they will pay £20,000 per illegal worker if they cannot prove that they carried out appropriate right-to-work document checks.
Operation Magnify has also targeted the construction, care, cleaning, catering, taxi and car wash industries in 2016.
Mr Goodwill said the operation sent a "strong message" to employers who abuse immigration laws.
"Modern slavery is a barbaric crime which destroys the lives of some of the most vulnerable in our society," he said.
In all, 14 of those arrested were passed to the National Referral Mechanism hub, a service supporting those identified as possible victims of slavery and human trafficking.
Many people working in plain sight in UK nail bars, on construction sites, in brothels, on cannabis farms and in agriculture are in fact suspected to be modern slaves.
Traffickers typically use the internet to lure their victims to the UK with hollow promises of jobs, education and even love - but offer a life of labour exploitation.
Prime minister Theresa May pledged in July to end the "great human rights issue of our time" of modern slavery.
Mrs May said a review to mark the first anniversary of the Modern Slavery Act, which she drew up as home secretary, found there had been 289 modern slavery offences prosecuted in 2015 - and a 40% rise in the number of victims identified.
The legislation, introduced in 2015, states it is an offence if someone holds another person in slavery or servitude or requires them to perform forced or compulsory labour. | One of the world's rarest diamonds has sold for a record-breaking $46 million (£29m), the highest price ever paid for a jewel.

Dr Margaret Ann Rous, 37, and her husband David, 28, who was flying, were killed when their Piper Cherokee struck Beinn nan Lus, near Loch Etive.
The couple, who lived in Newport-on-Tay in Fife, were heading from Dundee for Tiree to visit family on 4 April.
Investigators said their plane hit the hill in a "steep nose-down attitude".
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said no "specific" cause for the accident could be identified.
However, recorded data and analysis of the impact suggested the accident followed a loss of control of the aircraft possibly in cloudy weather conditions.
Several other pilots had chosen not to fly west from Dundee because of forecasted weather, the AAIB said.
Dr Rous contacted a relative on Tiree to ask about the weather there and was told it was "misty" and was also sent a picture of the conditions.
The AAIB report added that Mr Rous had checked the weather forecast before their flight and had expected it to improve.
Investigators said the plane was cruising at 6,500ft when it entered a gentle right turn, the rate of which increased along with a high rate of descent and speed.
They said it was possible Mr Rous experienced "some form of spatial disorientation" before the crash, which happened at about 10:30.
Investigators said Mr Rous had previously demonstrated a responsible approach to poor weather.
On a previous trip to Tiree, he opted to wait for bad weather to improve before attempting to fly from the island while Dr Rous took a commercial flight home. | A couple died after their light plane went into a steep descent and crashed nose-down into a hillside, air accident investigators have said. | 35,310,936 | 360 | 32 | false |
Western governments and their allies in the Middle East are worried about the increasing dominance of radical Islamist groups in the Syrian conflict.
The US on Sunday pledged to increase what it calls "non-lethal aid" to the more secular-minded Free Syrian Army. But there have also been reports - officially denied - that US military personnel have been training select groups of FSA fighters in neighbouring Jordan.
In a nondescript block of flats in an anonymous Jordanian town, we met a senior commander from the FSA. He agreed to talk to the BBC only on condition of anonymity.
"The lessons focused on small and medium arms, as well as mortars, RPGs [rocket propelled grenades,]" he said.
The commander had not attended the training courses himself. But some of his fighters had and he had been asked to provide a list of names to be put forward for more training in the future.
He said the training took place at a military facility outside the Jordanian capital. This information has been corroborated by other sources in the FSA, who told the BBC that fighters were trained in relatively small groups, on courses lasting two weeks.
The government in Amman has denied that FSA fighters are receiving training on Jordanian soil. Washington has not officially commented on its alleged involvement, stressing only that its assistance to the FSA is strictly "non-lethal".
But off the record, officials in both capitals have been quoted as confirming the existence of both the camps and of the presence of American trainers. Earlier this month, the Washington Post reported plans to accelerate the pace of the training, in the light of recent rebel gains in southern Syria.
Western intelligence sources have suggested the training could be carried out by US-based private security contractors.
Asked how the Syrian rebels had identified the nationality of their trainers, the FSA commander said:
"Most of the rebels have some education; it was not hard for them to detect the American accent of the trainer. He spoke through a translator. But the way he spoke indicated that he was American."
But, he said, his men were dissatisfied with the level and quality of the training.
"Most of the fighters were unhappy, because the training was on a very simple level. When they joined the revolution, they were already proficient in the use of small- and medium-sized weapons. They said the training did nothing to increase the FSA's abilities on the ground."
But there are other groups too besides the FSA who are using Jordan as a base from which to further their aims inside Syria. And those aims do not necessarily coincide with those of the Americans.
The town of Ma'an is a two-hour drive south of Amman through the featureless Jordanian desert.
In a compound on the outskirts we met one of Jordan's leading Salafists, a man by the name of Abu Sayyaf.
His full name is Mohammed al-Chalabi. In 2004 he was convicted of involvement in an al-Qaeda-linked plot to attack a Jordanian military base housing American soldiers.
Mr Chalabi was later sentenced to death. But his sentence was commuted, and now he is out, helping to recruit young Jordanians to cross into Syria and fight with the Islamist rebel group the al-Nusra Front.
"We have 500 of our men [Jordanian Salafists] fighting in Syria," he said, adding that more than 30 had been killed.
"I tell young men it is the duty of Muslims from all over the world to help the vulnerable people of Syria."
Earlier this month, leaders from al-Nusra announced their allegiance to al-Qaeda. Mr Chalabi said his Salafist movement shared the same goals.
"Our aim is an Islamic government that establishes God's sharia law. Any regime that doesn't do this is blasphemous and must be removed."
For now, the more secular-minded FSA and the Islamist al-Nusra Front also share a common objective: the removal of President Bashar al-Assad from power. But an ideological gulf separates the two groups. Some fear that could prolong the conflict.
"We hope that the fall of the regime in Damascus will bring about the end of the conflict in Syria," Mr Chalabi said.
"But my personal belief is that, after the fall of the regime, there will be other battles. The fight will last until God's laws are established on Earth."
"On Earth?" I queried.
"In Syria," Abu Sayyaf corrected himself.
Jordan's infrastructure is struggling to cope with nearly half a million refugees who have fled over Syria's southern border since the start of the conflict.
But it is the prospect of Islamists gaining control of parts of its frontier with Syria, with the help of Jordanian Salafists, that is really worrying Amman.
"This is the last thing we would like to see," said Mahmoud Irdaisat, the director of the Centre for Strategic Studies at the King Abdullah II Academy for Defense Studies in Amman.
"Having extremist groups in Syria - that will invite so many problems to us in the near future."
But current efforts to stem the rise of al-Nusra may be too little, too late. The FSA commander we met told us secular groups had been losing fighters to the better-financed, better-equipped Islamists.
"Our lack of funds has driven many people to join al-Nusra. There used to be no more than 10 or 15 al-Nusra fighters in our area. I used to know all their names. Now there are thousands." | More evidence has come to light of Syrian rebels receiving training from Western sources in neighbouring Jordan - but the Jordanian Islamists are also taking an interest in the conflict, as the BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse reports. | 22,285,555 | 1,265 | 49 | false |

The letters appear to be from an external debt agency, but are actually from the water companies themselves.
The news follows the revelation of similar practices in banks, energy firms and the payday lender, Wonga.
The water companies say they have a duty to tackle bad debt and the letters are sent only as a last resort.
Twelve of the UK's largest water suppliers told You and Yours on Radio 4 that they had taken part in the practice, while five said they are still doing it or might continue to do so in future.
Typically, the name of the debt collection company appears in large print at the top. Often the small print reveals it is linked to the water company, but sometimes no link is made.
Yorkshire Water has been sending letters to some customers in arrears under the name Rockford Debt Collections Ltd.
The stationery has since been changed.
While the large Rockford Debt Collections name remains, small print at the bottom now mentions the link with Yorkshire Water.
The energy regulator Ofgem, which has reviewed similar practice by energy suppliers, said that type of layout is still "unacceptable".
The water watchdog Ofwat has written to companies saying the same principles should apply to them.
As a result, Yorkshire Water says it has "temporarily changed" its approach. But it defended the practice.
"Any customer who receives a letter from Rockford would already have received three letters from Yorkshire Water urging them to get in touch, as well as a text," said a Yorkshire Water spokesperson.
Other water companies including Northumbrian Water, Affinity Water and Welsh Water stopped sending such letters earlier this year.
But the UK's biggest domestic water supplier, Thames Water, is among those continuing with the practice. Its letters, headed County Wide Collections, now state in three places that it is part of Thames Water group. Previously no such link was made.
"We try hard to engage with our customers in arrears. This is a long process, but our open and transparent letters do increase in severity," said a Thames Water spokesperson.
"When it gets to a final letter, we have found the use of an internally branded debt collection agency approach to be effective and cost-efficient," he added.
Ofwat says customers must not be misled or scared into making payments. It told the BBC it still had concerns about the practices of two water companies, but declined to name them.
"We're not saying don't pursue debt," said Gillian Guy, the chief executive of the charity Citizens Advice. "Clearly companies are entitled to do that, but we are saying that they really ought to do that honestly and with some sensitivity.
"These letters are about increasing the level of aggression to get payment and they're made on the assumption that people won't pay rather than actually that many can't."
Much of it was targeted against the ethnic Tharu community in Tikapur, whom they blame for violence on Monday in which seven policemen and a child died.
Tharu protesters had been at a rally demanding greater rights under a new constitution when the clashes erupted.
A man, 18, has died in the south after police fired at a similar protest.
In that incident, officers used tear gas and fired warning shots in the air on Tuesday when ethnic Madhesi protesters had entered the town of Gaur, in the southern plains of Rautahat district, where such demonstrations had been banned, the local chief district officer, Madan Bhujel, said.
Minority ethnic groups have been demonstrating across Nepal, saying the new constitution, which would divide the country into seven federal states, would discriminate against them and give them insufficient autonomy.
In Tikapur town, in north-western Kailali district, protesters attacked a radio station and a guest house, regional police chief Ram Kumar Khanal told the BBC Nepali service.
The angry mob also vandalised the home of a lawmaker belonging to the Tharu ethnic group, the deputy inspector general said.
Police fired warning shots more than a dozen times to disperse the crowd, he added.
In the capital, Kathmandu, hundreds of people attended the funeral for Laxman Neupane, the most senior policeman to lose his life on Monday in Tikapur.
The ethnic Tharu protesters had encircled the officers, attacking them with spears and axes and burning one person alive, officials said.
According to the Associated Press news agency, many of the protesters fled into the jungle and nearby villages in Kailali district after the clashes.
Security personnel, including the army, have been deployed to Tikapur, which is about 400km (250 miles) north-west of Kathmandu, in an attempt to calm the situation.
Meanwhile, Nepal's four major parties have met and said they will hold talks with dissatisfied groups to address their political demands, the BBC's Phanindra Dahal reports from Kathmandu.
Nadir Syed, 22, from Southall in west London, was arrested hours after buying a chef's knife in November 2014, days before Remembrance Sunday.
Woolwich Crown Court heard how he had been inspired by IS leaders urging attacks on Western targets, including police and soldiers.
The jury could not reach verdicts on two other men on trial.
Haseeb Hamayoon, 29, from Hayes, west London and Yousaf Syed, 20, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, denied planning acts of terrorism. They will be retried.
The jury returned a majority verdict on Syed after more than 50 hours' deliberation.
The court heard how he had expressed admiration for the killers of soldier Lee Rigby and how he shared violent footage of beheadings from Syria and Iraq on social media.
Some of his conversations were made on encrypted applications, the jury was told.
The court heard that Syed had also tried to travel to Syria to fight with IS militants but had been stopped from leaving the country in January 2014.
In September 2014, IS militants issued a fatwa or decree calling on its followers in the West to carry out attacks at home, jurors were told.
In the weeks that followed, Syed's behaviour became increasingly worrying to MI5 and police intelligence officers who were watching him.
The court also heard how Syed had appeared in a video in which he stamped on a poppy and kicked it towards a drain, which prosecutor Max Hill QC said was demonstrative of his "attitude to the poppy as the remembrance image in this country".
By November last year he was actively searching for knives of "sufficient quality to source an attack", the court heard, and he was eventually arrested on 6 November shortly after buying a 30cm chef's knife.
Commander Richard Walton, head of the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command, said: "This was an intense and lengthy operation by my officers, supported by the intelligence agencies, and I have no doubt that London is a safer place today with this conviction."
Syed will be sentenced at a later date.
Many Tories, and UKIP, appeared to want Britain to cut itself off from the "world's largest marketplace", he said.
Mr Clegg said the Lib Dems were "unambiguous" in their support for the EU but would guarantee a referendum over any major transfer of powers.
As MPs gear up for the election, he also questioned Labour's economic plan.
Mr Clegg was speaking in Abingdon, Oxfordshire - a key marginal seat the Lib Dems are hoping to win back from their coalition partners - where he arrived in the party's bright yellow "battle bus".
"Of course we have different views to the Conservatives," he said.
He said a large section of the Tory party were "straining at the leash" to leave the EU and that would be a "terrible thing for the British economy".
But he said "in the same way" he strongly disagreed with Labour's "failure to spell out when they would actually balance the books.
"I am dismayed the Labour Party want to borrow £70bn more than we think is needed," he added.
Mr Clegg's comments comes after Lib Dem cabinet minister Ed Davey told the Observer Prime Minister David Cameron's commitment to an in/out referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017 would make a second coalition with the Tories "incredibly difficult".
Labour has said it would not offer such a referendum unless there was a significant shift of power away from London to Brussels.
The Magpies spent £29m in January and had a £21m offer for striker Saido Berahino rejected by West Brom the day before transfer deadline day.
"We wanted to take this club forward, and that will only progress through investment," said McClaren.
"To make a huge bid like that for Saido shows the ambition we've got."
Newcastle signed Jonjo Shelvey from Swansea, Andros Townsend from Tottenham and Henri Saivet from Bordeaux on permanent deals and Roma's Seydou Doumbia on loan during the January transfer window.
McClaren said the signing of 22-year-old Berahino would have been a "bonus".
"It's a very, very good squad now," he said. "This window was important. I am very pleased with it.
"We've done great business - they're four very good signings.
"Now we have to gel everybody together and, the last third of the season, really go for it."
Newcastle, who are in the Premier League relegation zone, face Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday.
Set 171 to win, Scotland were well placed when openers George Munsey and Kyle Coetzer shared 84 in nine overs.
But as the Afghan spinners took hold, the Scots lost 4-24 and fell short on 156-5.
Earlier, Mohammad Shahzad hit 61 from only 39 balls and Asghar Stanikzai 55 not out as Afghanistan posted 170-5.
For Afghanistan, coached by former Pakistan batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq, it is the ideal start to a qualifying campaign from which one team from each group of four will advance to the main draw.
Scotland, however, will now need other results to go their way if they are to have a chance of reaching the second week.
Scotland have played in three previous World T20s and three World Cups - 19 games in total - without recording a win in a major ICC global event.
The closest they came was against the same opponents at last year's World Cup, when Afghanistan completed a thrilling run-chase in the final over to win by one wicket.
Here, Scotland had their opportunity, firstly when their bowlers applied the brakes in the second half of the Afghanistan innings and when Munsey and Coetzer were together.
But, after Coetzer holed out, the Scots fell behind and 39 runs off the final three overs was too big an ask.
While Coetzer busily accumulated and enjoyed some luck, Munsey showed power through the off side, before both fell in the space of three balls.
Coetzer dragged a Samiullah Shenwari long hop to deep square leg, while Munsey was lbw to 17-year-old leg-spinner Rashid Khan.
Indeed, Scotland faltered as Afghanistan used the slow Nagpur pitch to bowl 12 consecutive overs of spin.
While Matt Machan remained, they had hope, but after he sliced to point in off-spinner Mohammad Nabi's excellent penultimate over, the game was as good as done.
That Afghanistan, the highest-ranked Associate nation in T20 cricket, got to a target that was out of reach was thanks to the squat figure of Shahzad.
Not only did the right-hander show inventiveness with ramps and reverse-sweeps, but also the raw power to hit three sixes in four balls.
But after he lofted the left-arm spin of Mark Watt to long-on, Scotland halted the charge. At one point, Afghanistan went four overs without finding a boundary.
Captain Stanikzai was steady rather than destructive - his 50-ball stay included only three boundaries - so late impetus came from Shafiqullah's five-ball 14.
Scotland captain Preston Mommsen: "Unfortunately we couldn't quite get over the line, we lost a couple of wickets at crucial times and it wasn't to be.
"We got a brilliant start but couldn't keep the foot on the accelerator and it wasn't enough. If we'd kept them to 10-15 runs less it would have been a fairer reflection of our efforts, we've just got to address that middle period when their spinners tied us down."
Afghanistan captain Asghar Stanikzai: "The opening partnership started well and our total was good as it was a slow wicket. The first win is very important for us. We need good line and length bowling in the first 10 overs."
Scotland meet Zimbabwe on the same ground at 09:30 GMT on Saturday knowing that defeat will mean elimination. Afghanistan can move closer to the main draw later that day when they take on Hong Kong.
The British and Irish Lion played for Wales in a World Cup quarter-final against South Africa 18 days ago.
The post-graduate doctor played the full 80 minutes at Grange Road, although the centre did not touch the ball until the 23rd minute.
"I didn't touch the ball too much which is a bit disappointing," said Roberts.
"It was my first game [since the World Cup] so it was a bit of a contrast, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
"It was just defending for most of the game, so hopefully next time I play I'll see a bit more of the ball.
"But I enjoyed playing with these guys and it's an adventure and we'll see how it goes over the next four or five weeks."
Roberts is studying for a part-time Masters degree in medical science.
The 28-year-old will combine his studies with playing for English Premiership side Harlequins, who he joined from French side Racing 92 in May 2015.
The result, which saw Cambridge pick up three yellow cards, will not have helped the Light Blues' confidence ahead of the Varsity Match on 10 December.
Oxford University have won the fixture for the previous five years, although Roberts will be hoping to help end that losing streak at Twickenham.
Marko Arnautovic gave Stoke a controversial lead, firing home after Peter Crouch held off Black Cats defender Younes Kaboul inside the box.
Sunderland struggled to create chances in response, until Geoff Cameron tangled with Defoe in the 93rd minute.
Referee Craig Pawson pointed to the spot and Defoe stepped up to fire home.

Newcastle's win over Palace means Sunderland are now a point adrift of safety, although they have a game in hand over their north-east rivals.
Norwich, who lost to Arsenal in Saturday's late game, are a point further back in 19th and have also played a game less than the Magpies..
Defoe, so often Sunderland's saviour this season, had endured a frustrating afternoon at Britannia Stadium but found the net again when it mattered.
The former England striker had already had seven shots at goal against Stoke but only two of them were on target and neither effort troubled Stoke keeper Jakob Haugaard.
He persevered until the end, however, and got his reward when he turned Cameron and was about to shoot when he was adjudged to have been fouled for his penalty.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes described it as a "poor decision" but Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce said it was "a blatant penalty - he went straight through the back of Jermain because he knew he was through".
Defoe has now scored 10 goals in his last 11 away games, and 11 of his 14 league goals have come on the road.
His latest strike earned what Allardyce described as a "precious" point, but the Black Cats have still ended up deeper in relegation danger.
Sunderland have now lost only one of their last eight games, but they have drawn six of those matches.
Crouch, Defoe's former strike partner at Tottenham and Portsmouth, had helped give Stoke the upper hand after being given only his third league start of the season.
The 35-year-old's aerial presence had caused Sunderland problems whenever Stoke put the ball into their box and played a big part in their goal.
"It was a blatant foul on Kaboul," Allardyce said.
Kaboul also felt he was impeded but after the game Crouch denied he had fouled the Black Cats defender as he nodded Charlie Adam's cross into the path of Arnautovic.
Stoke, who had shipped four goals in each of their last three games, had chances to make sure of victory but remain safely in mid-table despite missing out on the three points.
Potters boss Mark Hughes said: "Their penalty was a soft one and it was difficult to take, certainly we were the better team."

Defoe and Crouch both played a big part in their team's goals but Defoe's only efforts on target other than his penalty were both tame and from outside the box (green arrows in the left-hand graphic above).
Crouch's controversial assist set up Stoke's goal but he did not often trouble Black Cats keeper Jakob Haugaard directly. He had a shot from the edge of the area blocked (the yellow circle in the right-hand graphic) and only one of his two headers at goal brought a save.
Stoke travel to Selhurst Park next weekend to play Crystal Palace, while Sunderland's survival bid could well be decided at Stadium of Light - their next two matches, against Chelsea and Everton, are at home, before a final-day trip to Watford.
Compared with 2014, it says the outlook for advanced countries is improving, but growth in emerging and developing economies is projected to be lower.
It says there will be weaker prospects in 2015 for some oil-exporting nations.
The IMF's World Economic Outlook said growth was likely to be 3.5% this year, in line with its January forecast.
Despite the sluggish outlook for 2015, it said growth in emerging markets is expected to pick up in 2016, which will drive an increase in global growth next year to 3.8%.
The outlook document is the IMF's bi-annual analysis and projections of economic developments. It also publishes further interim forecasts.
It foresees varying fortunes for Brazil, Russia, Ukraine - all contracting this year - and India, which will experience growth of 7.5% this year and next.
"The outlook for Brazil is affected by a drought, the tightening of macroeconomic policies, and weak private sector sentiment, related in part to the fallout from the Petrobras investigation," said the IMF, adding that the country's economy is projected to contract by 1% this year, more than two percentage points below the body's October 2014 forecast.
"The growth forecasts for Russia reflect the economic impact of sharply lower oil prices and increased geopolitical tensions," it added.
"For other emerging market commodity exporters, the impact of lower oil and other commodity prices on the terms of trade and real incomes is projected to take a toll on medium-term growth."
Russia's economy is now expected to contract by 3.8% this year - a downward revision of 0.8 percentage points since January - and by 1.1% in 2016.
It also says that neighbouring Ukraine's economy is expected to bottom out in 2015, "as activity stabilises with the beginning of reconstruction work", with the economy projected to contract by 5.5%.
Inflation this year is forecast at 33.5%, reflecting currency depreciation.
Meanwhile, the eurozone economy is projected to grow by 1.5% this year and 1.6% in 2016.
UK growth is forecast as 2.7% for 2015, unchanged from the IMF's January forecast, and 2.3% next year, revised down by 0.1%.
"In the United Kingdom, lower oil prices and improved financial market conditions are expected to support continued steady growth," said the IMF.
There is no change to the forecast for China, namely a continued slowdown to 6.8% this year and 6.3% in 2016.
The US is seen as growing by 3.1% in 2015 and 2016, down 0.5 and 0.2 percentage points on the previous forecasts.
He says we will be doing a number of simulated bombing runs around what he calls "the island". He makes it sound like a short training flight over a remote abandoned outcrop of rock somewhere in the North Sea. But the island he is referring to is in fact Britain.
It is the first time the B-52s have returned to their European "home" for more than a decade.
RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire is one of the long-range bombers' forward operating bases - alongside the more exotic islands of Guam and Diego Garcia.
The last time they were in Europe was in 2003 - the year America launched "shock and awe" on Iraq.
Now their arrival is more about flexing America's military muscle.
But it is seen as significant given Russia's recent intervention in Ukraine.
Col Leyland Bohannon of the US Air Force says the timing is "interesting" while insisting it is "not connected".
But he adds wherever you fly a nuclear capable bomber "it does send a message".
The B-52 is a warrior of the Cold War. But it is still a symbol of American power.
The one we are flying in was built in 1961. It has since undergone numerous upgrades.
And while the B-52 was once used to conduct "carpet bombing" now it is more likely to carry cruise missiles and Laser Guided Bombs.
It is also capable of delivering nuclear weapons - these days ones fitted to cruise missiles that can be fired well away from its target.
But in the cockpit you can still see the shutters fitted to protect the aircrew from the intense blast of a nuclear explosion.
It's areminder of the B-52's history as an offensive weapon of last resort, as well as its appearance in the film Dr Strangelove.
There is another, more light-hearted, reminder of the famous Stanley Kubrick satire in a safety briefing given just before our flight.
It shows a still from the film under explanations of how to exit the aircraft in an emergency.
But for this visit there are no real bombs to drop, yet alone ride. It has been announced that the three B-52s and their more modern stealth cousin, the B-2, will not be carrying any live weapons while in the UK.
Despite its hulky appearance, life on board for the crew is cramped. Beyond the cockpit it is more like a submarine than an aeroplane with red lights and screens the only illumination.
Behind the two pilots are the seats for the Electronic Warfare Officers.
For our trip their electronics have been covered in black dustbin bags to avoid being seen by our camera.
Below, down a small narrow ladder, sits the navigator and the weapons officer squeezed into a cupboard-sized space with numerous screens and buttons - including those used to launch the weapons from the massive bomb door below.
The plane has been designed to carry bombs and fuel rather than people.
Andrew, the officer directing the bombs and with his hand on the trigger, answers to the call sign "Mayhem".
Air traffic control refers to B-52s over the radio as "Doom-One-One". The US military is clearly happy to use call signs that do not hide their business.
The crew though are more vague as to where they drop their weapons in their simulated bombing runs over "the island".
Although as "Doom-One-One" criss-crosses Britain from Land's End to Scotland we do seem to spend a significant amount of time over the north coast of Wales and Merseyside.
The three B-52s and the two B-2s now at RAF Fairford are expected to return to the US at the end of the month.
Though their training here is all about being ready, the current volatile situation in the Middle East is another reminder that the crews can never be sure of where they might be flying over next.
With a range of 8,000 miles (12,900km) on just one tank of fuel, the B-52 is able to reach pretty much anywhere in the world.
It has already seen action during the war in Vietnam and more recently in Afghanistan and Iraq.
And with a lifespan of at least another 30 years it could still could be used in anger again.
The crew of the bomber are anxious to show in this training mission that in the era of so-called "smart bombs", their targeting is not indiscriminate.
It is a mix of new as well as old technology.
In the words of Capt Hyde, the B-52 is proof that "you can teach an old dog new tricks".
Prices rose by 3.8%, the lowest rate since May 2013, and down from 5.1% in the year to February, said the Halifax.
The inflation rate is now less than a half what it was a year ago.
Last week, the Nationwide said that house prices had actually fallen in the last month. The Halifax said prices had been flat since February.
The average price of a home in the UK is now £219,755, it said.
"The annual rate of house price growth has more than halved over the past 12 months," said Martin Ellis, Halifax's housing economist.
"A lengthy period of rapid house price growth has made it increasingly difficult for many to purchase a home, as income growth has failed to keep up, which appears to have curbed housing demand."
Where can I afford to live?
Egypt says its experts will be joined by teams from Russia and also the Republic of Ireland, where the Airbus 321 was registered.
It crashed over the Sinai peninsula, killing all 224 people on board.
Egypt dismissed as "propaganda" claims that militants linked to Islamic State (IS) brought down the aircraft.
President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi told the BBC that it was too early to say what had caused the crash.
The aircraft - flying from Sharm el-Sheikh to St Petersburg - is thought to have broken up in mid-air.
On Monday, Russia's Kogalymavia airline blamed "external influence" for the crash of its plane. But the head of Russia's aviation agency said such talk was premature and "not based on any proper facts".
Meanwhile, Russia's Interfax news agency on Tuesday quoted a source as saying the plane's cabin crew had not had any information about faults before the moment of crash.
"According to the recording of the conversations between the cabin crew and flight operations officers, the situation onboard four minutes before the aircraft disappeared from the radars was normal, the crew had regular conversations with flight operations officers," the source said.
"Nothing indicated any faults onboard. The crew did not report on them either," the source added.
Egypt's Civil Aviation Minister Hossam Kamal said the investigators would conclude their last field inspection at the crash site by the end of Tuesday and start working on the two flight recorders.
Mr Kamal was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying that it "will take some time" to produce the final report and that the joint investigative committee "has all the tools and experts to deal with the investigation".
The experts hope the examination of the recorded onboard conversations as well as flight data will help provide clues as to what caused the crash.
During the BBC interview, President Sisi warned against jumping to conclusions. "When there is propaganda that it crashed because of Isis [IS], this is one way to damage the stability and security of Egypt and the image of Egypt. Believe me, the situation in Sinai - especially in this limited area - is under our full control."
The US director of national intelligence, James Clapper, said there was no "direct evidence of any terrorist involvement yet" adding: "It's unlikely, but I wouldn't rule it out."
Militants launched an insurgency in the Sinai following the fall of President Hosni Mubarak in 2011. They stepped up their attacks after the military overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in mid-2013.
A year ago the insurgents renamed their movement Sinai Province and pledged alliance to IS. Hundreds of police and soldiers have been killed.
After the crash Sinai Province issued a written statement and an audio message saying that it brought down the passenger jet.
However, experts doubt it possesses the weapons capable of bringing down an airliner.
The Airbus 321 had been carrying 217 passengers, including 25 children, and seven crew members. Most of those on board were Russians.
On Monday, the deputy director of Kogalymavia - which has just renamed itself Metrojet - ruled out a technical fault or pilot error.
"The only [explanation] for the plane to have been destroyed in mid-air can be specific impact, purely mechanical, physical influence on the aircraft," Alexander Smirnov said.
"There is no such combination of failures of systems which could have led to the plane disintegrating in the air," he added.
The US broadcaster CBS News reported that a US satellite had detected a "heat flash" over the Sinai at the time of the crash.
It said the data was still being analysed and that although the flash could have been caused by a bomb, a fuel tank or engine explosion was also possible.
It is believed to be Russia's worst ever air disaster.
The bodies of most those killed have been flown back to St Petersburg and identification is under way.
05:58 Egyptian time (03:58 GMT): Flight leaves Sharm el-Sheikh, a statement from the Egyptian cabinet says
06:14 Egyptian time (04:14 GMT): Plane fails to make scheduled contact with air traffic control based in Larnaca, Cyprus, according to Sergei Izdolsky, an official with Russia's air transport agency
06:17 Egyptian time, approx (04:17 GMT): Plane comes down over the Sinai peninsula, according to Airbus
11:12 Egyptian time (09:12 GMT): Flight had been due to land in St Petersburg's Pulkovo airport
Jermaine Baker, 28, was killed during a police operation near Wood Green Crown Court in north London on Friday.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) confirmed it had launched an investigation into events.
Met Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Terry said it was a "very difficult time for everyone".
He said: "The exact circumstances that led to Mr Baker's death must be thoroughly and independently examined. That is the role of the IPCC.
"It is only through establishing the full facts, as quickly as possible, as to what took place that day that the best interests of justice and of all those affected can be served."
The IPCC said in a statement: "The Independent Police Complaints Commission has launched a homicide investigation into Mr Baker's death. The launch of a criminal investigation does not mean that criminal charges will necessarily follow.
"As this is now a criminal investigation, the IPCC is limited on what further information can be provided."
The Met Police has agreed to the IPCC suggestion that its officer be suspended.
Mr Terry added: "All of our firearms officers, who are all volunteers, do a job that is difficult and often dangerous. They all fully understand, quite rightly, that they will need to account for their actions if they use lethal force."
He said the IPCC would receive the Met's fullest support.
The Met was listening to concerns raised by communities in Haringey and across the capital, he added.
Four men appeared in court earlier charged with attempting to help prisoners escape.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says it is not clear who carried out the attack against the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham group, formerly known as Nusra Front.
Russia and Turkey say the group is not included in a ceasefire deal in Syria.
Meanwhile, rebel groups say they are halting preparations for peace talks.
A statement signed by a number of groups cited "many big breaches" by the Syrian government and its allies as a reason.
The ceasefire was brokered by Turkey and Russia last Thursday and has mostly held since then. Peace talks were planned for later this month in Astana, Kazakhstan.
The Syrian Observatory said it could not determine if the strikes, in the countryside of Idlib province, were carried out by the US-led coalition or Russia.
Among the dead were leading members of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which was holding a meeting there, the Observatory added, without identifying them. Many others were wounded, it said.
Abu Anas al-Shami, a Jabhat Fateh al-Sham spokesman, said in a statement the attacks were carried out by the US-led coalition.
"The headquarters targeted by the international coalition a short time ago are a main headquarters for that area and contains a number branch offices, leading to the killing of the brothers," he said in a statement quoted by Reuters news agency.
Jabhat Fateh al-Sham changed its name last July and announced it was splitting from al-Qaeda.
Members of the group are currently operating as part of a rebel alliance that controls Idlib province, the main rebel stronghold after eastern Aleppo was retaken by Syrian government forces last month.
As well as the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, the ceasefire deal excludes so-called Islamic State (IS) and the Syrian Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG) militia, according to the Syrian army, but the exclusion is disputed by the rebels.
The attacks, reportedly by Syrian or Russian warplanes, were on rebel-held areas in the east of the city.
A correspondent for the French news agency AFP who is in Aleppo says barrel bombs were dropped on several areas.
In one neighbourhood, a hospital was hit in the bombing, wounding some staff and patients.
"All kinds of weapons were used to bomb the hospital, from midnight until about 11:00. Now it's unusable," Mohammad Kheir, one of its doctors, told AFP.
People of another neighbourhood reported the use of the crude unguided explosive devices too. "All of a sudden there was a barrel bomb on top of us. We came outside and a second one, then a third one hit us," said Ahmad Erfan, a teenager living in the Salhin neighbourhood.
The Syrian government says western areas of Aleppo, which it controls, have been hit by rebel shelling, killing at least one person.
Aleppo, once Syria's commercial and industrial hub, has been divided since 2012, with the government controlling the western half and rebel factions holding the east.

Why is there a war in Syria?
Profile: Aleppo, Syria's second city
But in recent months, government forces backed by Russian air strikes have almost encircled the rebel-held areas and cut off one of the rebels' two routes to Turkey.
Since the, the government has advanced further on the one remaining supply line.
The battle for the city led to the collapse of a cessation of hostilities negotiated by Russia and the US at the end of February.
On Friday, US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov said they had agreed on "concrete steps" to salvage the failing ceasefire.
The theatre also won best production, for An Enemy of the People, while its artistic director David Thacker won the special achievement award.
The Octagon's haul of six awards marked Thacker's final year as artistic director at the theatre.
But Maxine Peake, shortlisted in two categories, went home empty-handed.
The annual awards - chosen by a panel of 10 of the region's leading theatre critics - were handed out in Manchester on Friday.
Colin Connor and Barbara Drennan won best actor and best actress respectively for A View from The Bridge, also directed by Thacker, with the Arthur Miller play picking up a third award for Natasha Davidson, for best supporting actress.
Connor won a second award, for being the writer, director and performer in Mr Smith at the Kings Arms, Salford, winning best performance in a fringe production.
David Birrell won best supporting actor for his part in Thacker's An Enemy of the People.
Peake was nominated for best actress - for her role as a demonic fairy in The Skriker at the Royal Exchange theatre - and for the new play award for writing Beryl, about cycling champion Beryl Burton, which was staged at The Lowry in Salford.
She was beaten to the new play award by The Rolling Stone, by Chris Urch at the Royal Exchange.
The Royal Court's production of Constellations won three awards - best visiting productions, best actress in a visiting production (Louise Brealey) and best actor in a visiting production (Joe Armstrong) - beating households names including Sophie Thompson and Michael Ball.
The Palace theatre's production of The Bodyguard won best musical in a shortlist that included Guys and Dolls and Mack & Mabel, while the Royal Northern College Of Music's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream won best opera.
Analysis - Chris Long, entertainment reporter at the awards
In the foyer before the awards, the talk was mostly about the flurrying snow that was blanketing Manchester on a bitterly cold day, but in the theatre it was another force from the North that took breaths away - that of Bolton Octagon.
The theatre has fought hard to build a formidable reputation in recent years, a success which will be rewarded with a new £10m building in 2019, and its big wins in the acting categories showed just why it has become so highly regarded.
For the town's most well-known actress though, things didn't go so well as Maxine Peake failed to pick up an award for either her acting in the well-received The Skriker or her writing of the play Beryl. She's not exactly in Leonardo DiCaprio territory, given she has been crowned by the awards before, but after she failed to win for her critically-acclaimed Hamlet in 2015, missing out again felt like something of a shock.
David Thacker, the Octagon's artistic director, did have a Leonardo moment as his acceptance speech took in climate change and a fair few raised eyebrows. He, like many though, was working off the cuff as it seemed very few of the winners expected to win.
That led to charming and gushing moments - the sweetest of which belonged to a member of the victorious Contact Youth Company, who grinningly said discovering and joining the group had "literally changed my life".
Hearts, like the snow outside in the inevitable Manchester drizzle, melted.

"That general principle [on access] is terribly important for creating a context for multiple companies to grow and in a healthy way explore and develop new products and new product types," Sir Jonathan told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
The Briton has led Apple's design team since 1996 and is responsible for the look and feel of its devices such as the iPhone and iPod.
Sir Jonathan said the UK had a "fabulous tradition of design education", but that it needed to do more to become a technology hub on a par with Silicon Valley in California, where the likes of Apple, Facebook and Google are based.
"I think Silicon Valley has infrastructures to support start-up companies ... ranging from technological support through to funding," he said.
"And there is the sense that failure isn't irreversible, so very often people will work on an idea, and there isn't the same sense of stigma when one idea and perhaps one company doesn't work out."
The region also prided itself on its diversity, allowing "like-minded" people from around the world to join forces to create new products.
"I think at Apple we've been very clear on how important it is that we have a diverse pool of talent that we can hire from," Sir Jonathan said.
Some UK technology firms have warned that they could lose access to the international talent they need after Britain leaves the European Union.
Cities such as Berlin also hope to coax tech firms away from London, which has been considered as Europe's leading tech hub, after Brexit occurs.
Apple chief executive Tim Cook said earlier this year he was "very optimistic" about the UK's future outside the EU.
"Yes there will be bumps in the road along the way but the UK's going to be fine," he told Prime Minster Theresa May at a meeting in Downing Street.
Apple also plans to build a new UK headquarters in London.
Sir Jonathan was knighted in 2012 for services to design and enterprise.
Horsforth School in Leeds faced criticism from parents and teaching unions over the cost of the proposed sports tour with some describing it as "disgraceful" and "appalling".
The school, an academy, said: "This was a proposed trip which required a minimum number of participants."
It said numbers for the seven-day trip had "fallen short of those required".
One parent, Linsi Tidswell, said it was divisive between parents who could afford it and the parents who could not.
She said: "To me the school is excellent but it should be promoting equal opportunities for all children."
On Facebook, another parent wrote: "Think it's really unfair to put this pressure on parents of either finding that sort of money or saying no to their child."
The trip, which was open to pupils in years 8, 9 and 10, was offered alongside more affordable events, the school said at the time.
It said three fixtures with local sports teams had been arranged for members of the football, netball and girls' football teams.
The academy said despite the cancellation it had received "interest" in the trip from several families.
Previous trips had been taken in Spain and Italy.
It made East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) the worst performing trust of its kind in England.
A Labour Party FOI request showed the number of patients who waited more than an hour to be admitted to hospital rose from 6,000 to almost 19,000.
EMAS said it was working closely with hospitals to reduce the delays.
A Department of Health spokesperson said: "We expect patient handovers from ambulance to A&E to happen within 30 minutes.
"Accident and emergency departments are busy, but with nine out of ten people seen within four hours, hospitals are performing well."
The Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group said high demand was putting pressure on the system but staff did their best to make any wait "as comfortable as possible".
Nationally, the figures showed hour-plus waits rose from 28,000 in 2013-14 to 76,000 in 2015-16.
Shadow health secretary, Jon Ashworth, said the jump showed the NHS was facing a serious crisis,
"Accident and emergency departments are under huge pressures and social care budgets have been cut deeply and all these things have come together as a perfect storm.
"Not enough investment by government to support the NHS is really coming home to roost."
The alarm was raised by another surfer about 12:30 GMT, when the pair were were swept onto rocks by a large swell at Trebarwith Strand, near Tintagel.
Lifeboats from Port Isaac and Padstow, cliff rescue teams and a coastguard helicopter were involved in the rescue.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said the surfers were winched aboard the helicopter and flown to safety.
A spokesman said the surfers were unhurt.
Hayley Davidson died at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old man is due to appear at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on Monday.
The document from 16 leading environmental organisations says it took the wettest ever summer to avert serious drought.
It warns that another series of dry winters would put Britain back on drought alert.
The government said its draft Water Bill would build resilience into the UK's water infrastructure.
The Blueprint for Water report measures the Government's performance against 10 steps to sustainable water by 2015.
It applauds ministers' commitment to tackle unsustainable abstraction from rivers and wetlands, extend the use of metering at a fair price and develop a catchment-based approach to managing the water environment.
But it says ministers are still failing to produce a long-term, sustainable approach which works with our natural water systems.
The groups want much more use of moors, marshes and plants to store and clean rain water, instead of allowing it to run straight into rivers and thus increase the risk of flooding. This would help tackle droughts as well as floods.
The chair of the Blueprint for Water coalition, Carrie Hume, said: "Lack of action to fix our broken water system is a false economy. We cannot continue to lurch between flooding and drought which is damaging for people, businesses and wildlife."
The Blueprint for Water was launched in November 2010. The Government is scored every two years on its progress.
A spokesperson for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said: "We know we are facing increasing pressures on our water supply and that is why we have published a draft Water Bill that will build resilience into our water infrastructure by creating the conditions to encourage innovation and reduce demand.
"The draft Bill will reduce red tape and drive innovation in the industry making it easier for water companies to work together to ensure we have secure water supplies for the future."

About 77% of students work, up from 59% last year, the study of 4,642 students by insurance firm Endsleigh and the National Union of Students suggested.
It found that students earned an average of £412 a month, with women earning 36% less than men.
Most said they worked part-time, but 14% said they held down full-time jobs during term-time, holidays or both.
More than half (56%) of those with a job said they worked because they had under-estimated the expense of university, especially the cost of accommodation.
A large majority (87%) said developing additional skills and enhancing their CV were also important reasons for working whilst studying.
The online survey of 4,642 university students also found:
Despite the increase in the number of students with jobs, dependence on other sources of finance has not decreased, the survey suggested.
Just over half of students (53%) said they depended on their parents to help them through university.
Meanwhile 74% said they relied on a student loan as a main source of income, up from 67% last year and 60% in 2013.

Universities in England are currently allowed to charge up to £9,000 a year in tuition fees, with repayments to begin once students graduate and earn more than £21,000 a year.
To cover rent, food, travel and any other living costs, students can borrow up to £5,555 outside London and £7,751 for students in London.
In Scotland there are no fees for Scottish students, whilst in Wales the annual fee cap for Welsh students is £3,810. In Northern Ireland, fees for students from Northern Ireland are capped at £3,805.
Roadside bombs exploded as the convoy was taking the prisoners from the town of Taji to the capital Baghdad 24km (15 miles) away, justice ministry and medical sources told Reuters.
Gunmen opened fire and a battle ensued with security forces, AFP reports.
It is thought the prisoners were being evacuated at the time.
The prisoners, who were suspected militants, were put in a convoy after mortar rounds hit military bases in Taji at dawn on Thursday, Iraqi officials told AP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
As the convoy travelled through a remote area, roadside bombs went off and the militants opened fire.
There were no immediate figures for casualties among the attackers and it is unclear who was behind the attack.
It is almost a year to the day since gunmen stormed prisons in Taji and Abu Ghraib, also in the Baghdad area, freeing hundreds of inmates. Other prisons have been attacked this year.
In another development, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged Iraq's feuding political leaders to unite in the face of the crisis sparked by the advance of Sunni Islamist rebels in the north. He was speaking after arriving in Baghdad.
Security forces were accused this month of summarily executing prisoners, possibly in retaliation for mass public executions carried out by the Sunni Islamist militants, who seized cities in the north-west and threatened to sweep south to Baghdad.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on 11 July that security forces and militias loyal to the government, which is dominated by Shia Muslims, had executed at least 255 prisoners since 9 June.
In some cases, prisoners may have been executed as security forces retreated, to prevent them from rejoining the rebels.
The prisoners were all Sunni Muslims, while the majority of security forces and militia were Shia, HRW said in its report.
A more recent HRW report accused the Sunni militants led by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis) group of killing, kidnapping and threatening religious and ethnic minorities in the Mosul area of northern Iraq.
A suicide bomber killed at least 21 people in Baghdad on Tuesday, attacking a police checkpoint at the entrance to the Kadhimiya district as people travelled to a Shia Muslim shrine in the area.

Listen: Neville Chamberlain announces war with Germany
How British solidarity grew through the terrifying blitz
The victims are commemorated on a plaque on the site of the cinema.
No high explosives were used, so no structural damage to buildings was done.
"It was the last Luftwaffe attack on the UK that killed civilians." said local historian Ron Fairfax.
"There is no trace in the German archives of the attack and anecdotal evidence suggests it was a maverick crew intent on revenge for the devastation wrought by an Allied air raid on Dresden a few weeks earlier".
The aircraft was unopposed as local RAF squadrons had been transferred, anti-aircraft installations had been moved south and the home guard and wartime emergency services had been stood down.
The attack was reported at the time as 'an attack on a north east coast town' because of a censorship notice imposed on information from the city.
During the course of the 1939-45 war 1,200 people were killed and a further 3,000 injured in the city.
Councillor Mary Glew, the city's lord mayor, attended the ceremony at the plaque.
USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice awards picked Scotland ahead of Petra in Jordan and New Zealand.
Scotland has featured in a number of high-profile movies in recent years.
USA Today highlights the famous Harry Potter train ride at Glenfinnan Viaduct and Braveheart's sword at William Wallace's monument in Stirling.
The Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian, which played an important role in the Da Vinci Code, is also mentioned by the newspaper.
VisitScotland, which has been urging film fans to vote for the Scotland in the online poll, said high-profile movies which had used Scottish locations in recent years included Skyfall, Prometheus, The Dark Knight Rises and World War Z.
The upcoming films Macbeth, starring Michael Fassbender, and Victor Frankenstein, starring James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe also use Scottish locations.
Scotland is playing a starring role in the hit US television series Outlander, which is being shown in the UK on Amazon Prime.
The USA Today poll put Petra in Jordan, which is seen in the climactic scenes of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in second place.
New Zealand, which features in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, was third.
Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, said: "This is a fantastic accolade for Scotland, which has beaten some of the world's most iconic film locations to take this award.
"Given our country's incredible and unique scenery, our range of spectacular buildings, as well as the warmth of our welcome, it is no wonder that it continues to attract some of the top film-makers from all over the world.
"Set-jetting, where people visit their favourite filming locations, is hugely popular and Scotland's victory in this USA Today poll is further testimony to this country's growing reputation as one of the world's greatest film sets."
The group cancelled their performances at Belfast's SSE Arena on Thursday at short notice.
Crowds had begun to gather at the venue for the matinee show when a notice was handed out saying that band member Jesy Nelson was unwell.
The rescheduled concerts will be on 2 July.
Tickets for the matinee show will be valid for July's matinee, while the same goes for evening tickets.
Anyone unable to attend will be entitled to a refund.
Thursday's cancellation was announced just minutes after the doors opened for the afternoon performance.
Fans were later informed by text message that the show would not be going ahead as scheduled.
General Manager of The SSE Arena, Neil Walker, apologised to fans who were disappointed by the cancellations.
"For anyone unable to attend the rescheduled shows, please contact point of purchase for details on how to obtain a refund," he said.
Ten countries which account for just 2.5% of the global GDP are sheltering more than half the world's 21 million refugees, says a report by the charity.
Salil Shetty, Amnesty's secretary general, called for wealthier nations to take in many more people.
Mr Shetty called the UK a "sad example" of the failure to take responsibility.
The UK has accepted about 8,000 Syrian refugees since 2011, according to the UN. The US has taken just 12,000.
And according to recent UN refugee agency data, no Syrian refugees have been resettled by China, Russia or any Gulf states.
By comparison, Jordan, which has a GDP just 1.2% the size of the UK's, hosts nearly 655,000 Syrian refugees.
With more than 2.7 million refugees in total, Jordan is sheltering more than any other nation. Turkey has taken in more than 2.5 million people; Pakistan 1.6 million; Lebanon more than 1.5 million.
In 2015, Germany took in 890,000 people seeking asylum who had not been designated as refugees.
"A small number of countries have been left to do far too much just because they are neighbours to a crisis," said Mr Shetty.
He added: "If we just share this out, say 60 to 90 countries share the responsibility, we could be in a very different situation. It's a big problem but it's a very solvable problem."
The other nations with the largest refugee populations are:
The UK has said its policy is to provide aid money to neighbouring countries so that they can support refugees closer to home. But Amnesty criticised the approach in its report, saying rich countries should not "pay to keep people 'over there'".
Refugees and migrants continue to risk their lives attempting to reach Europe. On Monday Italy co-ordinated the rescue of 2,600 people off the coast of Libya.
The former England captain was on the 2014 World Cup panel and will provide analysis and insight alongside Thierry Henry, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.

He said: "I'm really excited to be part of the BBC's coverage of the Euros. I'm looking forward to sharing my experience and bringing my thoughts and analysis into playing at this level."
BBC Sport will broadcast 26 games during Euro 2016, including the standout fixture of the group stages as England face Wales on Thursday, 16 June.
The BBC's Head of TV Sport, Philip Bernie, said: "We're delighted that Rio is returning to the BBC to be part of our team in Paris. His knowledge and experience of the game at international level is going to bring a real insight to our coverage.
"The BBC prides itself on delivering the best names and first-class coverage on football's biggest stage, and Rio, alongside a stellar cast of presenters and pundits, will play a key part in our extensive coverage from France."
More than 40 firefighters from six appliances are tackling the blaze at Wymen Gordon at Houston Industrial Estate in Livingston.
Specialist chemical support crews are also at the scene of the fire, which started just after 14:00.

"The public are advised to avoid the area and thanked for their patience and cooperation with emergency services at this time."
Zbigniew Ziobro, who is also Poland's prosecutor general, said he would make the appeal in the Supreme Court.
A judge rejected Polanski's extradition in October as "inadmissible".
The director, who lives in France, fled the US ahead of sentencing in 1978 after admitting having sex with a girl aged 13.
Polanski's victim, Samantha Geimer, described the ordeal of giving testimony against Polanski in an interview for the BBC's HARDTalk programme in 2013.
Polanski has French and Polish citizenship. France does not extradite its own citizens but the director occasionally visits Poland, attending a press event in Katowice just last week.
Swiss authorities turned down a US extradition warrant in 2010, after placing Polanski under house arrest for nine months.
He made the comment to ITV News after reports that Carr was understood to be a member of a legal but aggressive tax avoidance scheme.
According to the Times, Carr told an audience on Tuesday: "I pay what I have to and not a penny more."
HM Revenue and Customs has said it is taking "firm action to protect the Exchequer from unacceptable tax loss".
More than 1,000 people, including Carr, are thought to be using the Jersey-based K2 scheme, which is said to be sheltering £168m a year from the Treasury.
Under the scheme, an individual resigns from their company and any salary they subsequently receive is paid to an offshore trust.
The individual then receives a small amount of that as salary and the rest as a loan, which because it can technically be recalled, does not attract tax.
Carr was reportedly confronted over his financial arrangements during a show in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, by an audience member who shouted: "You don't pay tax."
His lawyers have insisted he has done nothing wrong, but the Treasury has said K2 is already being investigated.
Most common tax avoidance schemes
According to the Times, the K2 scheme allows someone on an income of £280,000 to reduce their tax bill from £127,000 to just £3,500.
In an interview with ITV News, the prime minister was asked about Carr's arrangement.
He replied: "Some of these schemes we have seen are quite frankly morally wrong.
"People work hard, they pay their taxes, they save up to go to one of his shows. They buy the tickets. He is taking the money from those tickets and he, as far as I can see, is putting all of that into some very dodgy tax avoiding schemes."
The Liberal Democrats' deputy leader, Simon Hughes, said it was "completely unacceptable" for stars to avoid paying proper rates of tax.
In his Budget speech in March, Chancellor George Osborne described illegal tax evasion and legal but aggressive tax avoidance as "morally repugnant".
The BBC News Channel's chief political correspondent Norman Smith said having waded into the row, there would now be huge political pressure on Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne to take action against the individuals and schemes concerned.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said: "I'm not in favour of tax avoidance obviously, but I don't think it is for politicians to lecture people about morality.
"I think what the politicians need to do is - if the wrong thing is happening - change the law to prevent that tax avoidance happening."
The Times is also reporting that Take That band members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen have used another partnership run by Icebreaker Management Services.
It provides tax relief in return for investments in the music industry.
The newspaper quoted lawyers for Barlow, Owen, Donald and their manager Jonathan Wild who said all four paid significant tax and did not believe the Icebreaker programme was a tax avoidance scheme.
HMRC said it had already successfully challenged one avoidance scheme run by Icebreaker, which it refers to as Icebreaker 1.
"This type of scheme will fail where there is circular borrowing which serves no economic purpose or which cannot, in fact, be used in a trade," a spokesman said.
"We are now preparing to litigate Icebreaker 2 but for legal reasons cannot say more at this time.
"We examine the implementation of avoidance schemes in detail and will not let any aspect of these cases go unchallenged."
The spokesman added: "We have taken firm action to protect the Exchequer from unacceptable tax loss."
A spokesman for Icebreaker Management Services Ltd said the firm "recognises the need for the proper administration and collection of taxes, and that it is essential that anyone who seeks to make use of tax relief does so properly and within the law".
"Abuse of the tax system for personal gain is, of course, never acceptable," he added. | More than half the UK's water suppliers have been sending their customers "unacceptable" debt collection letters, the BBC has learned.

Typical cases will include broken garden fences, dislodged roofing tiles and minor damage to cars hit by debris.
Insurers say they should be able to deal with all the calls fairly easily, as they are used to this type of weather "event".
"Their first priority will be to work as quickly as possible to deal with claims, and help customers recover," said Mark Shepherd, a policy adviser to the Association of British Insurers (ABI).
Should I contact my insurer immediately, or wait for a couple of days?
Insurers advise that you should contact them as soon as possible. Most companies offer a 24 hour emergency helpline. But it is important that serious damage is inspected as soon as possible.
Am I covered for storm damage?
Most household, business and and comprehensive motor policies cover both flood and storm damage. If damage is serious, and you need to move out of your home temporarily, most policies will cover the cost up to a specified limit. Typically you can spend up to 20% of the total insured value to cover alternative accommodation and heating costs.
Can I arrange for repair work to be done immediately?
If work needs to be done to stop further damage occurring, you can go ahead and get the repair work done. But keep receipts. Photos are also a good idea.
Who will assess the damage?
If the damage is serious enough, your insurance company will appoint a loss adjuster. He or she is independent of the insurance company, but paid by it. A loss adjuster should contact you within 24 hours, and visit your home within three days. But bear in mind that many loss adjusters will be extremely busy for the next few weeks. The loss adjuster will give you a timetable for the repair work, and tell you who will be doing it.
Should I appoint my own loss adjuster?
If you decide to appoint your own, you will have to cover the costs yourself. The insurance company will not pay. So be certain to ask for their charges before you hire them. And remember that the insurer's own loss adjuster may have a different opinion to yours.
If a roof tile comes off, and causes damage to somebody else's property, am I covered?
Most buildings insurance policies contain liability cover, up to a certain amount. Individuals are advised to contact their insurance company for further advice.
Will insurance premiums go up as a result of this storm?
Insurance companies say they are not expecting premiums to go up "across the board" as a result of the St Jude storm. But anyone making a claim may lose their no claims discount next year, and so may have to pay a higher charge.
How much will this storm cost insurance companies?
It is still too early to say. The great storm of October 1987 cost insurance companies £2bn in today's money. But floods in the summer of 2007 cost more than that: £3bn. | Many people across the southern half of the UK are likely to be trying to contact insurance companies, to arrange compensation for damage caused by the storm. | 24,704,109 | 625 | 30 | false |
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development review of the 34 wealthiest countries found average annual consumption of pure alcohol was 10.6 litres per person - equal to 115 bottles of wine.
That represents a rise from under 10 litres in the early 1990s.
Researchers said the trend contrasted with falls in other nations.
The likes of Germany and Italy, they pointed out, had seen big falls in consumption.
In the early 1990s drinking rates in the UK were actually below the current OECD average of 9.5 litres.
The findings have prompted the OECD to suggest the UK should consider steps such as minimum pricing and tougher regulation to reduce consumption.
One trend highlighted by the report was the high rates of problem drinking among educated women.
Nearly one in five women from the highest educated groups drinks to hazardous levels compared with one in 10 among the least educated group.
OECD economist Mark Pearson said the trend was "pretty unique" to the UK and appeared to be related to the increasing employment opportunities women were getting in traditionally male-dominated sectors such as the finance industry.
The UK - although this part of the report was based on England-only data - also has one of the heaviest concentrations of drinking among its population.
The heaviest-drinking one-fifth of the population accounts for nearly two-thirds of all alcohol consumed.
There also appears to have been a rise in youth drinking. The proportion of 15-year-olds who had experience of alcohol rose from 71% to 75% from 2002 to 2010 - although there are signs that has started falling in recent years.
To tackle problem drinking, Mr Pearson said the UK "should consider" taking tougher steps.
This could include minimum pricing, which is already being considered by ministers, banning sports sponsorship and enforcing clear labelling as well as improving access to treatment.
Mr Pearson said such steps presented "opportunities" to reduce drinking rates - although there was always a balance between tackling harmful drinking and penalising those who drink within recommended levels.
But he added: "In terms of lost productivity, health spending, and accidents and ill health, drinking costs a lot of money so I think it does clearly make sense to us that this is the sort of area that any country that cares about its economic performance has to take seriously."
Sir Ian Gilmore, chairman of the Alcohol Health Alliance, said he agreed, adding the research showed there was "no silver bullet" and a range of policies on "pricing, marketing and availability" were needed.
"For too long, drinking has been seen as a personal choice rather than a population-wide public health issue," he added.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "Drinking too much too often can be devastating for health.
"We know we need to do more to prevent people getting into dangerous drinking habits."
She said local authorities had been given public health funding to help tackle problems like drinking.
The community group For Stocksbridge Leisure Centre took over the facility north of Sheffield, and have now secured funding for the main pool.
In April 2013, Sheffield Council closed it as part of council cuts of £50m.
Faye Howard, a volunteer at the centre, said: "This is the culmination of everybody's hard work and efforts."
Ms Howard said there was times "When we thought it would never happen".
Alternative uses had been considered when the pool was closed but it's reopening was the "culmination" of running the leisure centre, she added.
The dry sports facilities have been volunteer-run since January 2014.
Funding for the pool has been secured for the next three years and is to open for swimmers at 07:00 GMT on Monday.
The 32-year-old made 25 appearances for the Hammers this season after joining the club for a second spell on an 18-month contract in January 2013.
The Londoners have also released defender George McCartney and midfielder Jack Collison.
Contract discussions with goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen and midfielder Matt Taylor are ongoing.
Meanwhile, the Hammers have exercised an option to extend the contract of defender Dan Potts.
West Ham said on their website: "We would like to thank Joe, George and Jack for their considerable efforts and contribution to the success of the club in recent seasons and wish them well in their future careers."
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce will stay in charge this season but the board have insisted on the recruitment of a new attacking coach "to ensure the team provides more entertainment next season".
A product of West Ham's youth academy, Cole signed professional terms in 1998 and helped the Hammers win the FA Youth Cup the following year.
During his first spell at Upton Park, he played alongside the likes of Paolo Di Canio, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick and Jermain Defoe, but he moved across London to Chelsea when the club was relegated.
Cole, who has been capped 56 times by England, won three Premier League titles and the FA Cup twice in a seven-year stay with the Blues.
After failing to agree a new contract he moved to Liverpool but he struggled to impress at Anfield and spent 2011-12 on loan at French club Lille.
One colleague of Theresa May's suggested she would need to be "peeled off the ceiling" in rage.
Another senior MP told me "he's used up all of his lives".
A former minister said: "He can't go on like this - it's getting very difficult."
Westminster tonight has even been able to engage in one of its favourite parlour games - guessing who'll be next, if, as some are suggesting sooner rather than later, a member of the Cabinet has to depart.
Johnson's Saudi comments 'not UK view'
In traditional terms, it is impossible for Boris Johnson to behave in the way he has been doing.
Criticising one of the UK's strategic allies when the PM has been investing personally in that relationship is the latest in a series of overly candid comments from the man who is meant to be the consummate diplomat.
Except - this is Boris Johnson, and it is 2016, when politics itself is not behaving in a way any of the traditional rules suggest.
First off, although it was a surprise, there are good reasons why Theresa May gave him the job in the first place.
As one foreign diplomat suggested, he is not someone who could ever be ignored - potentially useful at a time when the UK's profile could recede.
Then, as a magnet for attention, far better in theory to have him in her gang than causing trouble outside.
And, most importantly perhaps, in what he said about Saudi Arabia or indeed on other occasions when he has spoken loosely, few suggest that Boris Johnson is doing anything other than saying what he believes to be true and what others think too.
And in 2016, when the public has little appetite for being spun, what is the problem with a politician being a little blunt, if they are telling the truth?
Of course by doing that he is also breaking the conventions of diplomacy. And there are genuine concerns about the impact that will have on the UK's ability to deal with foreign countries.
If he is continually criticised by Downing Street, what is the point of having him in the job, if his word can't be taken as a true representation of the UK government's position?
But, just as there were legitimate political reasons to give him the job, so too there are legitimate reasons to preserve him.
One member of the cabinet suggested tonight it was more likely he'd get fed up with being criticised and resign than the prime minister get rid of him.
"She'll want to keep him," they said, as a prominent Brexiteer and a prominent member of the cabinet.
And it's also worth remembering that he is not the only member of the government who has been talking out of turn.
One feature of the May government is a focus on communicating very little. The challenges of Brexit mean Number 10 would prefer silence than endless political briefings.
Yet in the last week the chancellor, the Brexit secretary and, most dramatically, the foreign secretary have all variously made comments that went against the Number Ten hopes of avoiding drama.
And there is frustration in government among some ministers that they feel gagged by Downing Street.
There wasn't much evidence of it tonight, but there may be grudging sympathy for Mr Johnson after his public dressing down.
Indeed the chairman of the foreign affairs select committee told the BBC Number Ten had been "too sensitive".
But perhaps we are seeing a wider change too.
In times gone by, the tight rules of collective responsibility would have made Boris Johnson's position already impossible.
But maybe, after David Cameron tore those up in the referendum, those days will never fully return.
One former senior minister told me that was one of the biggest mistakes in the campaign that David Cameron made.
In their view, it was certainly a factor in losing the referendum.
But beyond that result, perhaps that decision will have consequences we are only just starting to see.
Yet another effect of the referendum that has changed British politics for good.
The movie won the Fipresci award at the annual event that celebrates films in all languages.
Assassin is made by Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien and was his country's entry for this year's Academy Awards.
German drama Labyrinth of Lies won the audience award and Everything is Copy from the US won the documentary award.
The jury said Assassin was "one of the best films of a master director, and an example of the martial arts genre which is elevated into the realm of art by its superb visual style".
Assassin's Palm Springs award adds to a growing number of accolades being accumulated by the film, despite it not having been successful in its bid to be selected to compete at the Oscars in February.
It has already been named the best film of 2015 in a poll of 168 critics. Sight & Sound magazine put it top of its Films of the Year poll, ahead of Carol and Mad Max: Fury Road.
The film also earned Hou Hsiao-Hsien the Cannes Film Festival's best director prize in May.
The veteran director also won five awards at Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards, including best film and best director.
Set in the ninth century, it tells the story of female killer Nie Yinniang, played by Shu Qi, who is hired to kill corrupt government officials.
Elsewhere at the festival, the Fipresci best actor award in a foreign language film went to both Sigurour Sigurjonsson and Theodor Juliusson, stars of Iceland's Oscar submission Rams.
Best actress in a foreign language film went to Alena Mihulova from the Czech Oscar entry Home Care.
The John Schlesinger Award for a first-time documentary film-maker was awarded to Japan's Erik Shirai for his film The Birth Of Sake.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the leadership in the party is confident it has secured enough votes for the bill to pass.
It would then go to the Senate where it could face a more tricky passage.
President Donald Trump made the repeal of his predecessor's signature law a central campaign promise.
He has played a personal role this week in persuading wavering Republicans to come on board.
Their first attempt at getting a healthcare bill collapsed in disarray in March, despite the party controlling both legislative chambers and the White House.
But several key Republicans this week reversed course, partly due to an amendment by Congressman Fred Upton to provide $8bn (£6.2bn) over five years towards coverage for sick people.
But Democrats said the amount was woefully inadequate.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said: "The Upton amendment is like administering cough medicine to someone with stage four cancer."
Members of the House Freedom Caucus, a group of ultraconservative lawmakers, indicated the Upton amendment would not be a deal-breaker for them.
In March, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said 24 million people would lose health insurance under the bill, which is called the American Health Care Act.
The bill has been amended several times as Republicans have tried to balance demands from opposing wings of their party.
Conservatives want to see a complete rollback of Obamacare, while moderates are concerned about losing voters who like the existing law.
President Barack Obama's overhaul of healthcare extended insurance coverage to millions of Americans, but some have experienced rising premiums in recent years.
One of its popular elements is that it bans insurers from denying coverage to patients who are ill with "pre-existing conditions".
President Trump has insisted the revised bill will keep that, although it is thought that states will be able to opt out of making that an absolute provision.
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel made a heartfelt plea that pre-existing conditions be protected, and spoke about his newborn son who has a congenital heart defect.

The verdict on Trump so far
The French car giant had been debating the decision as recently as last weekend but is now committed.
Chairman Carlos Ghosn said: "We had two options: come back 100% or leave. After a detailed study, I decided Renault will be in F1 from 2016."
Renault said its takeover of Lotus had not yet been completed but will be done "in the shortest timeframe possible".
However, the company added that the "principal contracts were signed" on Thursday.
The move ends months of speculation and secures the future of the team based in Enstone in Oxfordshire, which has in its history won four world drivers' titles, two as Benetton with Michael Schumacher in 1994 and 1995, and two as Renault with Fernando Alonso in 2005 and 2006.
Renault sold the team to investment group Genii Capital at the end of 2009 after deciding to quit as a constructor but remained involved as an engine builder.
Ghosn has decided that Renault will be best served by running its own team, a conclusion reached following the breakdown of its relationship with Red Bull.
Renault and Red Bull won four world driver and constructor doubles together from 2010-2013 but tension grew following the engine builder's inability to produce a competitive power-unit under the new turbo hybrid formula introduced at the start of 2014.
Red Bull had a contract with Renault until the end of 2016 but broke this off in the summer in order to seek a different engine.
But after being rejected by Mercedes and Honda and failing to secure a satisfactory deal with Ferrari, Red Bull will again use Renault engines next season, but as a customer not a factory partner.
Red Bull's Renault engines will be given a different name in order to distance the team from Renault. The former champions hinted on Thursday that they would be branded after their new sponsor, the luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer.
Renault's buy-out of Lotus was in doubt as recently as Saturday following a row over prize money with F1 commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone.
But an agreement was reached at the 11th hour and that was enough to convince Ghosn to go through with the deal, which sources say commits Renault to F1 until 2024.
Ghosn said: "The final details supplied by F1's main stakeholders gave us the confidence to accept this new challenge. Our ambition is to win - even if it will take some time."
The decision to return with its own team was based on the lack of exposure Renault received despite its success with Red Bull.
A Renault statement said: "As a full team, Renault will take maximum benefit from its victories. The payback as an engine supplier proved to be limited.
"The return on the investment necessitated by the new engine regulations and the return in terms of image were low."
Renault staff have been working with Lotus for some months on the presumption the takeover would eventually be completed.
Sources say experienced engineer Bob Bell, who was technical director of world champions Mercedes until the end of last season, is to take on a role overseeing both the chassis design operation in the UK and the Renault Sport engine facility in Viry-Chatillon near Paris.
Bell, who was managing director of Renault F1 before moving to Mercedes, has already held meetings with Renault and Lotus staff as the team plan the build of next year's car.
The Renault drivers for next season will be Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado and British rookie Jolyon Palmer, who was the Lotus reserve driver this season. Both drivers were signed by Lotus while the Renault takeover was still in doubt.
The role of team principal is expected to be taken by Frenchman Frederic Vasseur, the boss of the successful ART team in the GP2 feeder category.
As the form of Jose Mourinho's Chelsea side hit a new nadir with a 3-1 defeat by Liverpool, social media took great delight in mocking the under-pressure Blues boss.
But only around 3,700 tweets, of around 200,000 which were sent, contained both the words 'Mourinho' and 'sack'. Does, deep down, the public want to keep a man who tends to create talking points? Maybe. But even so, no one said they can't have a giggle.
By 16:00 GMT on Saturday the term 'Chelsea' had been tweeted 578,000 times - the leading worldwide trend - while there were roughly 200,000 tweets sent containing the term 'Mourinho' between midday and 15:00 GMT.
Golf's world number three Rory McIlroy simply posted, #TaxiforJose. Within three hours it had been re-tweeted more than 2,000 times, gaining traction as far afield as Melbourne and Jakarta.
Popular YouTube personality and West Ham fan Spencer Owen wrote: "Chelsea should have got rid of Mourinho weeks ago before Big Sam joined Sunderland! He was their best chance of staying up this season!"
Meanwhile, cartoonist Omar Momani was quick to link a Halloween nightmare as he depicted Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp arriving at Mourinho's home.
Everton fan Andy tweeted: "Poor Jose, he was just fully committed to being Brendan Rodgers for Halloween, and now he's going to lose his job over it."
And Twitter user Kobi the Key opted for some lyrics from the 2003 R Kelly hit 'Ignition'. His adapted lyrics read: "It's the remix to ignition. The Mourinho Edition. Bought Falcao to spite Man U. Now I'm in 15th Position."
Popular website Bleacher Report simply used the following image along with the words: "Chelsea FC—The Sinking Bus."
Of course, after such a humbling defeat, with a pack of baying journalists ready to fire questions, Mourinho's post-match news conference suddenly became a must-see event.
In it, the 52-year-old - charged by the Football Association with misconduct earlier in the week - refused to answer questions about key incidents in the game on the basis he may be punished again.
His guarded nature led to the hashtag #Nothingtosay being used just over 6,400 times in around 90 minutes.
Paul Hayward, chief sports writer for The Telegraph, tweeted: "Chelsea's players are the best in the business at seeing off managers. Nobody could say they fought to keep Mourinho today."
Baboucarr Ceesay, from Gambia, is believed to have drowned when the fishing boat he boarded at Libya sank in the Mediterranean on Sunday.
Jessica Sey from Cheltenham said her 21-year-old nephew's family "will never get justice" and more must be done to educate migrants of the risks.
"We are so angry," she said.
"The people who take their money and put them on to these boats have got to be held to account.
"It's not just a foreign problem, it's actually on our doorstep."
Mrs Sey said her nephew's decision to travel to the UK from his home was "a desperate way out".
"He did it illegally and it killed him."
She said her nephew was a "promising" football player who was relatively well off in his own country, but he longed for a better life in Europe.
Mr Sey left Gambia with a friend by taking a boat from the capital Banjul to Guinea.
The pair then crossed the Sahara to Libya.
However the friend stayed in Libya when Mr Sey boarded the fishing boat which subsequently capsized on Sunday.
Mrs Sey blamed the "division of money in this world", and said it is "human nature to want to better yourself".
"Can anyone honestly say that they wouldn't put themselves through something like this if they thought they would get something better at the end?"
Prosecutors in Italy, where survivors of the capsize have arrived, say the captain crashed the boat by mistake against a merchant rescue ship.
The capsize is the deadliest recorded in the Mediterranean, the United Nations says.
Lord Howard faced criticism after he said Theresa May would show the same "resolve" as Margaret Thatcher did over the 1982 conflict.
The Lib Dems said he was "sabre-rattling" and Labour criticised the "inflammatory" remarks.
But Mr Weston said the row, as Brexit talks loom, was a "storm in a teacup".
It was sparked by draft negotiating guidelines published by the EU on Friday that said any decisions affecting Gibraltar would be run past Spain.
In a 2002 referendum, Gibraltarians were asked if they wanted Britain to share sovereignty with Spain, but rejected the idea by 99% to 1%
The country has long contested Britain's 300 year-rule of the territory, which has a population of about 30,000.
After Argentina invaded the Falklands in 1982, Margaret Thatcher sent a task force to reclaim the islands in the South Atlantic and an estimated 655 Argentine and 255 British servicemen lost their lives in the fighting that followed.
Mr Weston suffered horrific burn injuries when the Sir Galahad ship came under fire in the conflict.
The former Welsh Guard said: "There's a huge amount of hysteria going on.
"When you listen to what he actually said rather than interpret it... it's a storm in a teacup, we all need to calm down.
"People are reacting like this because of Brexit. We're giving more power to the European negotiators by reacting like this and making it seem like we're not all together."
Theresa May has said the UK is "committed" to the territory.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused Fethullah Gulen of being behind the failed uprising, but he denies any involvement.
Thousands of people suspected of supporting the US-based cleric have been arrested, sacked or suspended from their jobs in Turkey in the past week.
But UK-based Gulenists said that it is not just in Turkey that his followers have been singled out.
Within a few hours of the president urging people to take to the streets in protest last Friday, the Mevlana Rumi mosque in Edmonton, north London said it was targeted.
"Two people entered the mosque. They started shouting out, swearing, breaking the peace," said Seval Gokce, the mosque's executive director.
She added: "A person standing outside opened up the Turkish flag. Then an hour later, five or six more cars pulled up outside the mosque, shouting out abuse and amongst them, they were heard to say they were thinking of burning down the mosque."
Others have been targeted personally.
Ozcan Keles, a member of the mosque and chairperson of the Gulen-inspired charity Dialogue Society said he and others received threatening text messages.
"It's signed off by 'the angel of death' and then it's got a second signature which says MIT Special Forces and Operations UK," he said. "It's basically saying: I'm sending this on behalf or I am a representative of the Turkish government and Turkish intelligence services."
He said: "I'm in London. I have nothing to do with what's happening in Turkey. I condemn the coup as much as anyone condemns it."
The Gulen movement is not easy to describe.
There is no single identifiable body linking everything together. Instead followers are encouraged to form their own organisations that finance themselves.
But that has led to criticisms that some organisations are too secretive about their connection to the movement.
Bill Park, a senior lecturer in defence studies at King's College, University of London, said: "They tend to be a bit coy about their links.
"The fact that they are sometimes coy means not only that they arouse suspicion because you never quite know who you're talking to but also it means you can put this label on anyone you don't trust, don't like or feel is up to something."
As the purge of suspected Gulenists continues in Turkey, it is likely some will be even less keen to identify themselves publicly with the movement.
Seval Gokce said the mosque has reported the incidents to the police and she said the community is being extra vigilant.
"For the first time since 2008, we've put a sign on the door showing our opening and closing hours," she said. "We've only shut down from 11 in the evening until four in the morning but it's the first time we're closing the doors between prayers for our own safety."
The NRL side led 22-0 at half-time, with Aidan Guerra crossing twice and Kane Evans, Blake Ferguson, Dale Copley, Shaun Kenny-Dowall and Daniel Tupou also crossing for the Roosters.
Dominique Peyroux touched down twice for Saints at Langtree Park.
Australian sides have won all four games since the World Club Series was expanded to involve six teams in 2015.
Wigan and Leeds will attempt to gain Super League's first win in the event at the weekend, with the Warriors hosting Brisbane Broncos on Saturday and the Rhinos taking on North Queensland Cowboys a day later.
St Helens were beaten 39-0 by South Sydney Rabbitohs in last year's World Club Challenge - a record margin in the annual contest between the champions of Super League and Australia's NRL - and for much of this match it looked as though they would end up without a point once more.
The hosts, who were thrashed by Salford in Super League eight days earlier, got themselves on the scoreboard when visiting full-back Ferguson spilled a high kick in his in-goal area and centre Peyroux scored his first try for the club.
But Saints could not thwart Sydney's young half-back partnership of Jackson Hastings and Jayden Nikorima, with 19-year-old Nikorima particularly impressing after being forced off the field inside the first three minutes with a knock to the head.
Warrington assistant coach Richard Agar told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra:
"The Roosters did a really efficient job, scored some brilliant tries, played with a lot of control and patience, were really strong in their defensive systems and made it difficult for St Helens to make any headway.
"Saints had a couple of good periods early on and, when the Roosters were down to 12 men when Dylan Napa was sent to the sin-bin, they looked like they might mount a little bit of a comeback.
"But over the 80 minutes they made too many mistakes and they were simply outgunned by a better team."
St Helens captain Jon Wilkin told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra:
"I thought there were two or three opportunities for us to get into the game. At those crucial times, we conceded possession or they broke away and scored length-of-the-field tries.
"I don't think the score reflected our effort and our intent. I thought our forward pack were immense at times.
"We just lacked a bit of execution and composure, and ultimately you just have sometimes step back and say they had some outstanding outside backs who came up with some amazing plays. "That probably typifies one of the big differences between our competition and the NRL."
St Helens: Owens; Makinson, Peyroux, Turner, Swift; Wilkin, Walsh; Walmsley, Burns, Savelio, Greenwood, Vea, McCarthy-Scrasbrook.
Replacements: Amor, Tasi, Thompson, Knowles.
Sydney Roosters: Ferguson; Tupou, Copley, Mitchell, Kenny-Dowall; Nikorima, Hastings; Evans, Friend, Napa, Guerra, Aubusson, Taukeiaho.
Replacements: Moa, Liu, Leuluai, Henderson.

Cummings, who broke away to win stage seven on this year's Tour, was a late replacement for Peter Kennaugh.
Froome, 31, played down his own chances over the 237.5km course, which starts and finishes at Flamengo Park.
"We have to put it together on the road and put our egos aside and try to get a medal," said Froome.
"We have a team here that is able to adapt on the road and react to the different situations that unfold.
"If we can get him [Cummings] in a breakaway, we don't have to use our energy chasing and if no-one else chases then he can ride away and win the Olympics."
Kennaugh stepped aside after struggling for form following an injury, allowing 35-year-old Cummings to ride in a team that includes Adam Yates, Ian Stannard and Geraint Thomas.
Besides a Cummings breakaway, Froome believes riders such as Italy's Vincenzo Nibali, Colombians Rigoberto Uran and Sergio Henao and Spain's Alejandro Valverde will be suited to the four-lap circuit.
"It's a real climber's course," added Froome, who will also compete in the time trial on Wednesday, an event in which he took bronze at London 2012.
"It's not a three-week race like the Tour, when you make adjustments and think tactically over three weeks.
"In this race, you have to give it all on the day. You have to be willing to gamble and take your chances."
Jersey won by 42 runs in the fifth-place play-off game, after narrowly beating hosts and eventual tournament winners the USA the day before.
But losses to Oman, Denmark and Bermuda meant relegation from the division.
Jersey made 250-6 from their 50 overs before bowling out Italy for 208.
Injuries in the Jersey squad saw 46-year-old team manager Tony Carlyon named in the side alongside his 15-year-old son Harrison.
"I never thought that was going to happen to be honest," Carlyon senior told BBC Radio Jersey.
"I think with USA yesterday, there was a lot given for that victory and to come back under these circumstances with people out on their feet and four guys already injured, to win as easily as that was great."
Batting first, a hundred partnership between openers Peter Gough (65) and Harrison Carlyon (32) gave the island side a good start.
Former Jersey all-rounder Tony Carlyon only managed a scratchy nine, but later bowled a tight seven-over spell for 24.
Man-of-the-match Corey Bisson blasted 63 from 47 balls as Jersey posted 250-6.
In reply, a steady start from Italy was derailed by two wickets in the seventh and eighth overs, off-spinner Elliot Miles claiming the second on his way to 3-45.
Italy's captain Damian Crowley took his side past 100 before he was bowled by Rob McBey for 39 in the 25th over.
Four wickets for stand-in captain Charles Perchard took the momentum out of the Italy innings, and they were eventually bowled out for 208.
Both sixth-placed Italy and fifth-placed Jersey will now compete alongside Guernsey in World League Five, with the remaining five places in that tournament still to be decided.

Crawford, 25, has scored eight times so far this season, including the leveller in Saturday's draw at Ross County.
"We're grateful that we have got Ali Crawford," Devlin told BBC Scotland.
"I think we've been fearful we've been losing Ali for a couple of years now, and we're grateful when the transfer window shuts."
Part of Hamilton's first team since 2010, Crawford has been a regular scorer since they returned to Scotland's top-flight in 2014.
"He's capable of stepping up and producing a bit of magic and that's what happened on Saturday, because I don't think we deserved anything from the game," said defender Devlin, 23.
"But fortunately we've got Ali, he can supply us with that bit of magic.
"He's a fantastic footballer with great potential of moving on and playing at a higher level.
"We know how important he is and he's a massive part of what we're trying to do here, and while he's here we'll just be grateful and confident going into every game that we've got him on our side.''
Devlin says he would love the chance to pull on a Scotland jersey after being tipped for a call-up by Accies player-manager Martin Canning.
"That's a vote of confidence from the manager," Devlin added.
"He's shown great confidence in me since he took over. I played beside him under the previous manager and learned a lot from him. He has been a massive influence in my career.
"So to hear him say something like that, a guy that's played at the top and all his days in the Premier League, does mean a lot to me.
"It would be a dream come true to represent your country, I would love that.
"It's performances for the club that will potentially thrust you into that position, but it's for other people to decide. I'll continue to work hard here and try and improve my game and do my best for Hamilton, and if anything else comes from that fantastic."
Or at least to be more articulate and confident in speaking up for themselves.
Pupils at School 21, a free school in Newham, were also given some very different perspectives on finding your own voice - from Princess Beatrice.
The princess is co-founder of a charity, Big Change, that supports young people with skills outside a traditional academic curriculum.
This is not one of the capital's wealthier areas.
It is not the stamping ground of yummy mummies. Instead, there is the Mummy Yum chicken and kebab shop on the corner near the school.
But Princess Beatrice says the idea of learning such life skills is important for anyone growing up, regardless of their background. And everyone has had their own inner struggle with trying to communicate.
"For me, school was a nightmare, I struggled," she said, speaking after a workshop with a class of 11- and 12-year-olds.
Dyslexia was her big barrier.
"My earliest memory is trying to read Beatrix Potter and the words were literally jumping off the page," she said.
And "exams were terrifying", despite the support of her teachers.
Princess Beatrice said it had only been when she was in secondary school and could take part in events such as public speaking that she felt able to do well.
She said projects such as that at School 21 were about developing a type of education that was "not just about learning for a test, it is learning for your life".
"It is good to be pushed out of your comfort zone," she said.
Also taking part in the project is Karl Lokko, who as a teenager had been a south London gang leader.
He said the day before he had taken his GCSEs, one of his friends had been killed. "He was murdered by my side," he said.
But even being able to "denounce gangsterism" had meant having to learn a vocabulary and way of communicating he had never acquired growing up.
Mr Lokko, who read one of his poems to the pupils, said he had deliberately set about learning 10 new words a day - underlining words he had not understood in books or articles and then looking up their meaning in a dictionary.
Another co-founder of the charity taking part in the school project was Holly Branson, daughter of Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson.
She said that young people from very different backgrounds all faced their own "struggles to find themselves".
"No matter what walk of life, all children face their own pressures, you can't just say that privileged kids don't have issues," she said.
And lessons could be learned from failure as well as success - a message reinforced by her entrepreneurial father.
"I remember when I was doing my driving test and rang my dad to say I'd passed... and there was disappointment in his voice," she said.
"Oh no, really. I just really wanted you to fail at something," he had told her.
Ed Fidoe, who helped to set up School 21, said schools needed to be able to create more of those experiences, where young people could be "pushed very hard" and succeed after overcoming difficulties.
The school's head teacher, Peter Hyman, said speaking skills represented a major barrier to disadvantaged young people.
Mr Hyman, a former speechwriter for Tony Blair, warned of a "speaking deficit", adding the skills of "oracy" were at "the heart of social mobility".
Too often poorer youngsters and their families lacked the confidence to speak up for themselves, he said.
Mr Hyman said schools should focus much more attention on helping young people express themselves verbally, not least in terms of improving their job chances.
The Big Change charity is raising funds for projects to "help young people thrive in life, not just exams".
And Mr Hyman links speaking skills to children's sense of wellbeing.
There have been many recent concerns about the wellbeing of young people and worries about increasing problems with mental health.
Holly Branson links it to the relentless pressures to conform with the artificial world of social media, saying young people needed to be shown the "online world is not the real world".
Princess Beatrice. said: "It's a really important thing to tackle.
"We can do something that focuses on the symptoms of stress - but it's better to get to the root causes.
"What is this extra pressure? Why do we have young people leaving school not equipped for life? How are we letting them down?
"We live in a world where everything is moving at such a fast pace.
"You have to find an identity that's true to yourself.
"You really have to find your own voice."
A police statement said the officers, who had already been suspended, were detained on suspicion of "assault resulting in grievous body harm".
The incident took place on 15 October during clashes when police cleared an underpass by the Admiralty camp.
Civic Party protester Ken Tsang was filmed being led away in handcuffs and beaten for several minutes.
Local TV network TVB later aired footage of his assault, and Mr Tsang's lawyer said that the beatings had continued after he was taken to a police station.
The authorities suspended the officers and launched an investigation shortly after the clip was aired.
On Wednesday, a police spokesman said they had not delayed investigations into the case, and that Mr Tsang had promised to show up to identify his assailants, but failed to do so.
The spokesman called on Mr Tsang to "assist the police in investigations as soon as possible".
The police also rejected previous criticism of their handling of the case, saying that their investigations had consistently followed the procedures for complaints against police officers.
"If any other officer is suspected of illegal behaviour, the police will investigate impartially and not show favouritism," said the spokesman.
Wednesday's announcement came after police cleared one of the key protest sites at Mong Kok.
More than 140 people were arrested, including two leading student activists, Joshua Wong and Lester Shum.

There have been attempts to clear Hong Kong's streets before, notably of course, right at the beginning of the protests. Video footage of the protesters defending themselves with umbrellas from the pepper spray became the defining image and only served to give the movement massive momentum.
Now though, the authorities are taking a more careful approach. Recent clearance efforts, including those over the past two days in the Mong Kok district, have been to enforce the court injunctions, won by businesses including the city's taxi drivers, angered over the effect on their businesses.
They also come at a time when the protesters are weary after two solid months of sit-ins, their numbers dwindling, and not long after the world spotlight has left China following the Apec Summit. Scenes of Hong Kong chaos might not have played well with the world leaders meeting in Beijing.
But with Mong Kok cleared, two other sites remain, including the main protest site in the heart of the financial district. Further court injunctions or not, that remains a much tougher proposition.

More than 140 transgender people from across the country took part in research carried out by Healthwatch Devon.
Waiting times for sex-change operations, which should be less than 18 weeks, are sometimes as much as 21 months, the report said.
Communication with patients was deemed to be "poor", with many experiencing incidents of "prejudice".
It also said that demand for services for transgender people was increasing each year - but there were not enough specialist services to cope.
Healthwatch Devon is an independent body which gathers the views of NHS patients to help influence the delivery and design of local services.
This is an umbrella term for people whose gender is different from their "assigned" sex at birth - that written on their birth certificate. Gender can refer to one's own internal sense of being a man or woman, or another type that does not fit either category. Gender can also be expressed externally - through clothing, behaviour, body characteristics and so on. Transgender can be shortened to "trans".
In 2010, the Gender Identity Research and Education Society estimated the number of trans people in the UK to be between 300,000 and 500,000.
Gender is different from sexual orientation. Transgender people can be straight, gay, lesbian or bisexual.
The author of the report, Caroline Lee from Healthwatch Devon, said: "We found that lots of people waited for many years to get the treatment they are entitled to, and during that time a lot of people are becoming quite anguished and depressed.
"A lot of people have self-medicated in unsupervised circumstances and they have gone off and got treatment which probably wasn't always safe."
Treatments include hormone therapy, hair reduction, sex reassignment surgery and speech and language therapy to help alter the patient's voice.
In written evidence in the report, NHS England said there appeared to be a particular problem with some GPs who refused to prescribe hormone therapy to transgender and non-binary individuals, even though they had been advised to do so by physicians in specialist gender identity clinics.
One respondent said: "I had to go through 18 months of local protocol just to get a referral. It wasn't great as I really needed to see a gender specialist earlier. Thank goodness I have friends who I came out to."
Carol Steele, who runs Transfigurations Support Group, said transgender people often faced prejudice from doctors: "For someone who is transgender they have probably taken years to pluck up the courage to go to their GP and ask for help."
The report will be presented to NHS health bosses in London in May.
A statement from NHS England said: "We're very grateful to Healthwatch for carrying out this work. In line with the report's findings we will be increasing investment from next month in local gender identity clinics to reduce waiting times."
The Canadian singer, songwriter and poet died on Thursday at the age of 82.
As a student at Queen's University, Geoff Hill hitchhiked to Manchester to see the Canadian artist in concert.
"I had just finished university and was broke as usual, so I hitched over in freezing weather to see him live.
"It was the first time I had seen him in concert and it was absolutely brilliant - he did seven encores.
"The next day, I was hitching up the M6, and I walked into a motorway cafe and Leonard Cohen was just sitting there, on his own, eating Maltesers out of a box."
Speaking on the BBC's Talkback programme, Mr Hill explained that, although he was keen to speak to Cohen, he was nervous about how the legendary singer would react.
"I was hesitating, but then I just decided that if I didn't go over and say something, I'd regret it for the rest of my life.
"So I went over and said: 'I'm sorry to bother you, but are you Leonard Cohen?' and he said: 'Yes, I am.'
"Then I said I didn't want to interrupt him, but just wanted to say I thought his concert the night before was brilliant."
Mr Hill was taken aback when Cohen expressed thanks and invited him to sit down.
"He said: 'Sit down, have lunch with me' and explained that Maltesers were his favourite sweets when he was in England.
"So we sat there, sharing the sweets and talking about life, the universe and everything."
The Northern Ireland travel writer told Cohen that he had just begun writing a novel, but wasn't sure if he would finish it.
"'You'll finish it', he said, and 10 books later, it looks like he was right.
"He was just the most decent, charming, modest man you can imagine."
The singer then offered him a lift in his tour bus.
"Then he signed my diary and asked where I was going next. I told him I was hitching back to Belfast, and he said: 'Jump in with us - we're heading to Glasgow next.'
"So he brought me up the road, shook my hand and gave me a wave as they drove on - I'll never forget it.
"I was in a daze for, well possibly the rest of my life. It was such a wonderful experience."
"It is definitely one of my worst fears and my heart goes out to Zayn," Murs told BBC News.
The star befriended One Direction through the X Factor, where they were runners-up in consecutive years.
He said Malik's anxiety had only surfaced since he had become a solo artist earlier this year.
"I feel for him, because he did seven or eight worldwide tours and he always had friends around him," said Murs.
"Now, he has that daunting anxiety [of] having to come out on stage without those other guys around."
So far this year, Malik has cancelled appearances at the Autism Rocks Arena in Dubai and the Summertime Ball in Wembley Stadium.
"Unfortunately my anxiety that has haunted me throughout the last few months around live performances has gotten the better of me," Malik told fans after pulling out of the latter gig.
"I know those who suffer anxiety will understand and I hope those who don't can empathise with my situation."
Murs said that the sheer scale of the concerts could be the root of Malik's fears.
"He's got to start at theatres or smaller shows where he can build that confidence again. Once Zayn gets out there and starts performing, he'll be great," he said.
"It's just that initial thing of getting over the line. But fingers crossed he does get to perform that album at some point."
Malik is not the only pop star to suffer anxiety. Selena Gomez recently cancelled the remaining dates of her world tour, citing the anxiety and depression that are side effects of Lupus, the auto-immune disease from which she suffers.
Justin Bieber also said his touring schedule was leaving him "mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression". He subsequently cancelled "meet and greet" sessions with fans before and after his shows.
"You have to put your heart out to those guys for coming out and being honest," said Murs. "You've got to remember they're young and the pressure is massive.
"People have paid for their tickets and they want you to entertain them. It can take its weight on you."
The singer admitted he had also experienced "difficult" nights on tour, but they paled in significance compared to Malik and Gomez.
"I'm not going to moan about it because these are our jobs. That's what we get paid to do," he said, indicating a poster in his management company's office that reads: "No whining".
"Whining and whinging... you shouldn't," he added, discussing his own shows. "You should just get on with it."

The Cessna Citation fuselage was bought by Milton Hall Primary School at Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex.
Once renovated with benches and solar panels, it will be able to house classes of up to 15 children.
The school bought it for an undisclosed sum but said it was "a lot cheaper than building a classroom".
The unused fuselage was spotted by the school's media manager Jon Baker who was having a flying lesson at Southend Airport. He "thought it would make a good classroom", Claire Reynolds, the school's business manager said.

The Cessna was delivered by truck on Saturday and lifted onto the playing field by crane.
"It will receive a full make-over to turn it into a brand new exciting learning space for the children to engross themselves in," Ms Reynolds said.
The borough council's health and safety team has examined the jet and will be monitoring the renovation.
The school estimates it will take up to four months to transform the space with seating, lighting, solar panels and wind turbines.
"We have a lot of expertise on site, including Mr Baker, who's a real plane enthusiast. It's his baby," she said.
"Our school has limited space for expansion and we were keen to find an exciting and unusual way to further engage our children and expand on their learning."
The jet will eventually become a hub for ICT and media studies.
Teachers also hope the experience of learning inside such a unique space will elevate the children's creative writing lessons.
Two men - both aged 33 - were injured with what is thought to have been a knife before the attacker, also 33, inflicted fatal injuries on himself.
The incident has been referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC).
One of the injured men remains in hospital in a "stable" condition.
Witnesses had told of seeing a man with a knife at the scene, and pools of blood on the road.
Police were called to West Nile Street at about 16:00 on Thursday after the first man was assaulted.
The attacker ran off before attacking a Glasgow City Council community warden who had tried to intervene.
The suspect then started to injure himself. When police officers arrived, they used a spray on the man and disarmed him.
He was then taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary but died a short time later.
The community warden was treated for an injury to his arm and then released.
Det Supt Laura Thomson said: "From our inquiries so far, we know that the initial attack was targeted - it was not random; it was planned and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with it.
"However, although we have had a great response from members of the public who were there at the time, we need people to come forward with any information that may assist the investigation.
"Officers, including specialist forensic teams, are still at the scene carrying out inquiries and checking CCTV. Additional officers are in the city centre to provide public reassurance."
A spokesman for PIRC said: "The PIRC is undertaking an investigation into the circumstances leading up to the death in custody of a 33-year-old man in Glasgow on Thursday 13 April 2017.
"The man was involved in a prior incident in West Nile Street before he inflicted serious injuries upon himself.
"Captor Pava - an incapacitant spray - was then discharged by police and the man was detained.
"He was then taken by ambulance to Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment but died a short time later."
About 40 nurses and other specialists arrived at the weekend, camp spokesman Lt Col Samuel House said.
He said that 100 of 166 detainees were now on hunger strike, with 21 of them being force-fed through a tube.
The inmates are protesting against their indefinite detention. Most are being held without charge.
The hunger strike started at the US facility in Cuba in February and has grown rapidly in recent weeks.
Although such actions are frequent at Guantanamo, the current protest is one of the longest and most widespread.
Guantanamo officials deny claims that the strike began after copies of the Koran were mishandled during searches of prisoners' cells.
Violence erupted at the prison on 13 April as the authorities moved inmates out of communal cellblocks where they had covered surveillance cameras and windows.
Some prisoners used "improvised weapons" and were met with "less-than-lethal rounds", camp officials said, but no serious injuries were reported.
Nearly 100 of the detainees have reportedly been cleared for release but remain at the facility because of restrictions imposed by Congress and also concerns of possible mistreatment if they are sent back to their home countries.
The military detention centre opened in 2002 to hold suspects captured in counter-terrorism operations after the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US.
Public Health England (PHE) said 5.3 per cent of all deaths in over-25s were linked to air pollution, although the figures varied considerably by region.
Authors of the study said people whose death was hastened by pollution lost an average of 10.6 years of their lives.
Environmental campaigners said the problem was "outrageous".
The figures are estimates for long-term exposure to pollutants.
They do not include short-term exposure, such as that seen in many areas last week.
Source: Public Health England
The highest percentage of deaths was in London. In the Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster boroughs, 8.3% of deaths were linked to pollution. In Tower Hamlets, the figure was 8.1%.
The fewest pollution-related deaths were in rural Scotland and Northern Ireland (2.5%) and the Western Isles (2.4%).
There has been little change in the death estimates over recent years, BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin said.
Public health campaigners have argued that the government is to blame for failing to implement an EU directive on clean air.
PHE insisted that air quality has improved "considerably" as a result of cleaner-air technology and tighter environmental legislation.
But Dr Paul Cosford, PHE's director of health protection and medical director, said local authorities should consider further measures.
Friends of the Earth air pollution campaigner Jenny Bates said the figures were a "national disgrace".
She added: "It's outrageous that tens of thousands of people die prematurely in England every year because of polluted air."
Dr Penny Woods, chief executive of the British Lung Foundation, said action was needed "urgently".
A Department for the Environment spokesperson said: "This report will help local authorities prioritise air pollution amongst other public health issues. It is well recognised that air quality can affect people's health, which is why we are investing heavily in measures to improve it.
"We have committed billions to increase uptake of ultra-low emission vehicles, sustainable travel and green transport initiatives, all of which will help improve air quality."
The criminal investigation came after Toyota recalled more than 10 million vehicles over issues with brakes, accelerator pedals and floor mats.
Attorney General Eric Holder said Toyota had "intentionally concealed information" about the problems.
It is the largest criminal penalty yet imposed on a carmaker in the US.
Mr Holder told a news conference in Washington: "Rather than promptly disclosing and correcting safety issues about which they were aware, Toyota made misleading public statements to consumers and gave inaccurate facts to members of Congress.
"And they concealed from federal regulators the extent of problems that some consumers encountered with sticking gas pedals and unsecured or incompatible floor mats that could cause these unintended acceleration episodes."
Toyota issued a series of recalls in 2009 and 2010 affecting various models including the Camry, one of its best selling cars.
The problems dented Toyota's reputation for reliability and hurt its sales in the US, one of its biggest markets.
It was also criticised for its handling of the issue, with allegations that it did not respond quickly and tried to protect its brand image.
The firm has already paid millions of dollars in fines over delays in its reporting and handling of the safety problems.
On Wednesday, Mr Holder said that Toyota would "fully admit" wrongdoing and described the firm's behaviour as "shameful".
"It showed a blatant disregard for systems and laws designed to look after the safety of consumers," he said.
"By the company's own admission, it protected its brand ahead of its own customers. This constitutes a clear and reprehensible abuse of the public trust."
Toyota said it had changed the way it handled such issues and had been working towards rebuilding its relationship with customers.
"At the time of these recalls, we took full responsibility for any concerns our actions may have caused customers and we rededicated ourselves to earning their trust," said Christopher Reynolds, chief legal officer Toyota Motor North America, in a statement.
"We have made fundamental changes across our global operations to become a more responsive company - listening better to our customers' needs and proactively taking action to serve them."
The deal was announced by Mr Holder, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara.
Mr Holder said the settlement should also serve as warning to other firms on how to handle such issues.
"Other car companies should not repeat Toyota's mistake: a recall may damage a company's reputation, but deceiving your customers makes that damage far more lasting."
The teenager, who cannot be named due to her age, is also accused of having a copy of bomb-making guide the Anarchist's Cookbook.
She denied the charges during a hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
The girl, from Manchester, was ordered to appear at the city's youth court on 28 July.
She faces two charges of possessing a document containing information of a kind likely to be of use to a person preparing or committing an act of terrorism on or before 3 April.
District Judge Howard Riddle granted the girl conditional bail.
Tonga international Halaifonua, 28, has scored one try in 12 games since signing from Bergerac in November 2014.
Atkinson, 26, joined Gloucester from Bedford in March 2014 and has made 35 appearances for the club.
"Both Mark and David have proved to be hugely valuable members of our squad," director of rugby David Humphreys told the club website.
"The coaching team are really impressed with their work rate both on and off the field, and we are challenging them now to go to the next level."
Details of the lengths of their contract extensions have not been disclosed.

Llwyddodd Llafur i gadw rheolaeth ar ddinasoedd Caerdydd, Abertawe a Chasnewydd.
Ar ddiwedd y cyfrif roedd gan y Blaid Lafur 472 sedd ar draws Cymru, 107 sedd yn llai o'i gymharu â 2012, tra bod ymgeiswyr Annibynnol, y Ceidwadwyr a Phlaid Cymru wedi gweld cynnydd.
Mae'r Ceidwadwyr wedi cipio rheolaeth lawn yn Sir Fynwy, cyngor roedden nhw'n ei arwain mewn clymblaid gynt.
Ond mae'r gogwydd yng Nghymru o Lafur i'r Ceidwadwyr wedi bod yn llai nag yn Lloegr, ble mae etholiadau lleol hefyd wedi bod yn cael eu cynnal mewn nifer o ardaloedd.
Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog Carwyn Jones ei bod hi wedi bod yn noson "heriol" i'w blaid, tra bod y Ceidwadwyr a Phlaid Cymru wedi croesawu'r canlyniadau "calonogol".
Mae Llafur wedi cadw eu gafael ar Gasnewydd a Chastell-nedd Port Talbot, ond gyda llai o fwyafrif.
Fe wnaeth y blaid golli tir yn Wrecsam, gyda'r grŵp Annibynnol yn dod yr un mwyaf ar y cyngor ond heb reolaeth lwyr.
Daeth Llafur yn agos at gipio grym yn Sir y Fflint gan gynyddu nifer eu seddi.
Ac maen nhw wedi llwyddo i ddal eu gafael ar Gaerdydd, yn ogystal ag Abertawe, Torfaen, Rhondda Cynon Taf a Chaerffili.
Mae'r sefyllfa ym Mro Morgannwg yn aros fel yr oedd hi, gyda'r un blaid wedi llwyddo i sicrhau rheolaeth lawn, ond y Ceidwadwyr yn ennill tir.
Mae Plaid Cymru wedi cadw'u gafael ar Gyngor Gwynedd, ond dyw sefyllfa heb newid yng Ngheredigion ble maen nhw'n parhau i fod y blaid fwyaf, ond heb fwyafrif.
Maen nhw hefyd wedi dod o fewn trwch blewyn i gipio cynghorau Sir Gâr ac Ynys Môn, ar ôl dod o fewn dwy sedd i fwyafrif yn y ddwy.
Ym Mhowys mae'r grŵp Annibynnol wedi colli eu mwyafrif, yn dilyn enillion i'r Ceidwadwyr a'r Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol sy'n golygu nad oes gan yr un blaid reolaeth lwyr.
Ond mae'r grŵp Annibynnol wedi llwyddo i ddal eu gafael ar Gyngor Sir Penfro, er eu bod wedi gostwng mewn nifer.
Does dim un plaid wedi ennill rheolaeth lwyr ar Gyngor Sir Ddinbych, ond mae'r Ceidwadwyr wedi disodli'r blaid Lafur fel y blaid fwyaf.
Canlyniad Cyngor Sir Conwy oedd yr olaf i ddod i law a does dim un plaid wedi ennill rheolaeth lwyr yno.
Y cyfrif wedi dod i ben
Fe gipiodd Plaid Cymru 202 o seddi ar draws Cymru, 33 yn fwy na'r tro diwethaf.
Mae ymgeiswyr Annibynnol wedi cipio 322 sedd, 13 yn fwy na'r tro diwethaf, tra bod y Ceidwadwyr wedi cipio 184 sedd, 80 yn fwy nag yn 2012.
Gwelodd y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol gwymp o 73 i 62 yn nifer eu seddi, tra bod UKIP wedi colli'r ddwy oedd ganddyn a'r Gwyrddion wedi ennill un.
The green launcher, about 3ft (1m) long, was discovered in a skip by staff at the Knowle Hill centre, near Exmouth.
Devon County Council said the launcher was stripped of its launch mechanism so "it could not have been used".
The centre was closed "as a safety precaution" for about an hour until police disposed of it.
More than 280 homes have had insulation removed in Rhondda Cynon Taff alone, while 900 properties require remedial action in Neath Port Talbot.
The problems have been revealed in a draft report for the Welsh government, seen by BBC Wales.
The Welsh government said it could not comment.
The report, by the Building Research Establishment (BRE), was commissioned by the Wales Low and Zero Carbon Hub, which advises the Welsh government.
It was obtained under a Freedom of Information request by campaign group Cavity Insulation Victims Alliance.
Pauline Saunders, from Newport, who founded the action group, called it a "huge problem".
Removing cavity wall insulation (CWI) can cost thousands of pounds, up to five times the cost of its original installation.
Richard Evans of RCT Homes, which owns 10,000 properties, said some insulation companies have approached tenants in Rhondda Cynon Taff directly on the doorstep.
"Over our ten year plan, we've made an allowance of £1.2m to deal with this issue," he added.
Swansea council and housing association Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd based in Bangor both told BBC Wales they no longer install CWI after experiencing problems.
Newport City Homes have had more than 250 cases to deal with and Carmarthenshire council more than 100.
But Cardiff council said they have not had any problems and neither has one of Wales' biggest housing associations, Wales and West Housing.
Plaid Cymru MP for Arfon, Hywel Williams, said he has raised the issue with the Department of Energy and Climate Change in Westminster following complaints from his constituents.
"This stuff has been put into houses where the outside rendering is cracked, so once water gets in the insulation acts as a bridge letting water into the house," said Mr Williams.
"People have been told 'this is a government scheme, it's free' when clearly it isn't," he added.
The MP will be meeting representatives from the UK government on 1 September, along with Ms Saunders.
Both the Welsh government and the Wales Low and Zero Carbon Hub said they could not comment until the report has been finalised.
The blaze began in a shed on Friday afternoon before spreading to a semi-detached house causing substantial damage to the property.
45 fire fighters and 8 appliances were deployed by the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS).
It is not yet known how the fire started.
Police have said the incident is not being treated as suspicious.
Fire Service Group Commander William Johnston said: "There were a lot of hazards within the unit at the back of the property, acetylene, LPG and potential asbestos.
"So we had to take all the necessary safety precautions to ensure the safety of the fire fighters who are dealing with the incident."
Burnley-born Sir Ian, who is a leading LGBT rights campaigner, leads the parade as the event marks 25 years of fundraising.
Pride chief executive Mark Fletcher said: "Sir Ian is a genuine inspiration for the global LGBT community."
This year's theme is Devotion with participants invited to celebrate who and what they are devoted to.
As grand marshal of the parade, Sir Ian, who played Gandalf in Lord Of the Rings, will lead the parade through the streets of Manchester on Saturday 29 August.
The 76-year-old actor, who starred as Magneto in X-Men, was installed on the Walk Of Fame in Wigan, where he lived in the 1940s.
This year's parade takes a new route, setting off from Liverpool Road down Deansgate, turning up Peter Street, then leading on to Oxford Street, Portland Street and Princess Street.
It will then turn on to Whitworth Street ending outside Manchester's Gay Village on Fairfield Street.
This year's parade is expected to feature about 2,500 people from across Greater Manchester, with around 100 entries from small community groups to large commercial organisations, all expressing their support to the LGBT community. | Tougher measures are needed to tackle high rates of alcohol consumption in the UK, international experts say.

The singer said the concert in London's Hyde Park, part of the Proms end of season celebrations, was "magical".
Tenor Alfie Boe and vocal group Il Divo also sang at the event, held in tandem with the Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.
Coverage of the traditional Prom finale was screened live in 3D at cinemas around Britain for the first time.
Thousands flocked to Hyde Park to hear Kylie perform such hits as On A Night Like This and Can't Get You Out Of My Head.
The Australian performer was accompanied by the Royal Choral Society and the BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Richard Balcombe.
Following the concert, the 44-year-old send thanks "to all involved" on her official Twitter account.
Open-air events were also held in Belfast, Glasgow and Caerphilly.
The National Youth Choir of Scotland were among the acts at the City Halls in Glasgow, while the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales appeared near Caerphilly Castle.
The traditional closing concert at the Royal Albert Hall featured such flag-waving favourites as Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance and Sir Hubert Parry's Jerusalem.
Czech conductor Jiri Belohlavek led the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Albert Hall for the last time in a programme that featured Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti and Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja.
The Daily Telegraph described the soloists as "starry" and "as perfectly contrasted as you could wish".
In an unscheduled addition, Team GB Olympic and Paralympic winners joined in on a sing-along version of Rule Britannia.
Eight 3D cameras captured the concert, which millions watched and listened around the world.
The Financial Times described the 118th Proms season as "silver medal-winning".
"Artistically, it was a season of highs and lows," wrote Richard Fairman. "Happily, though, the ending came on a high."
Other reviews were generally positive, with The Guardian's George Hall calling it "a lively Last Night that never threatened to become too raucous".
The "stroke of genius" he said, was "bringing on to the platform gold- and silver- medal-winning members of Team GB and Paralympics GB as part of the patriotic bonanza".
Mr Belohlavek, who has lived in Britain for the last six years while working with the BBC Symphony, received a big cheer when he when he pulled out the CBE medal given him by the Queen and hung it round his neck.
He described this summer in London as the perfect example of "kalokagathia" - an ancient Greek philosophy of harmony in mind, body and virtue.
The conductor told the BBC's World At One that this was "because the attention towards the Olympics was immense and at the same time the interest of the audience in the Proms was very high.
"The attendance went up to 93%, so this is something which is very rare and very encouraging for the future."

In recent months, women wearing body paint and little else having been posing for photos in Times Square, joining the ranks of costumed characters like Cookie Monster and Spider-Man.
They're all hoping to score a smile and a few dollars from the droves of mobile-phone toting tourists.
In addition to the women, a few misbehaving "rogue" costumed performers have generated embarrassing headlines like "Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty get into fight over tips."
Tourists seem more amused than scandalised, but the presence of the "desnudas" - or the naked ones - has stirred fears of Times Square regressing from a family-friendly tourist destination to a place once known for strip joints, pawn shops and seedy hotels.
Last week Mr de Blasio formed a task force to combat the proliferation of the busking street performers, but tellingly the plan not did involve cracking down on the women but rather taking away their stomping grounds. Mr de Blasio has floated the idea of removing Times Square's pedestrian plazas, where the performers most often find their customers.
So why have the NYPD not charged the women with indecent exposure and called it a day? The first amendment of the US Constitution is apparently the reason.
In New York, busking - even topless - is considered a form of protected speech, leading authorities to tread lightly when it comes to the performers.
"It's their argument that they are artists, or street entertainers, and not just someone hanging around half-naked," Larry Bryne, the deputy police commissioner for legal matters, told the New York Times.
"As long as they are performers exercising their First Amendment rights in a lawful way, it's not a criminal law-enforcement issue that we can address."
If the women start harassing tourists or become very aggressive in their busking, police could become involved, but thus far the women are letting the tourists come to them.
Some - including the New York Times editorial board - are wondering what the fuss is about when topless men are commonplace all over the city in the spring and summer.
Others have suggested creating "specialised areas" for the performers to work. Or as the New York Post tactfully put it - creating "pens" for the "pests".
Mr de Blasio's task force will return its findings in October. But so far Mr de Blasio's call to remove the pedestrian plazas isn't winning a lot of praise.
The plazas - designed to make the once traffic-clogged Times Square more inviting for visitors - have been as seen a big success among urban planners and most importantly city business leaders.
Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer - normally an ally of the mayor - called the idea of destroying the plazas "preposterous".
The Times Square Alliance, which represents local businesses, also took a dim view of Mr de Blasio's plan.
"That's not a solution, it's a surrender," said Tim Tompkins, the organisation's president. | A new breed of scantily clad street performers are becoming a nuisance to New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, but he is finding that taming Times Square is not as simple as it seems. | 34,047,144 | 696 | 49 | false |
William Robertson, from North Berwick, received the Insignia of Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur.
It was presented by French Consul General Emmanual Cocher.
The 90-year-old's unit was the 5/7th Gordon Highlanders, one of the battalions of 153 Brigade of the 51st Highland Division.
Mr Robertson received the medal at a ceremony in the Hope Rooms, North Berwick.
He said: "I was an enthusiastic 18-year-old Private in the Gordon Highlanders when we crossed the English Channel to France, and saw actions in Belgium, Holland and Germany - including the night assault crossing of the River Rhine on 23 May 1945."
Mr Robertson went to Perth Academy before becoming an articled clerk in London with his uncle's firm, moving on to work for Dunlop and marrying in Perth in 1953.

The judge ruled he could remain free pending an appeal.
Lula has rejected claims that he received an apartment as a bribe in a corruption scandal linked to state oil company Petrobras.
He says the trial is politically motivated and has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
The case is the first of five charges against him.
Lula served eight years as president until 2011 and has expressed interest in running again in next year's elections for the left-wing Workers' Party.
On Wednesday, a judge found him guilty of accepting bribes from engineering firm OAS in the form of a beachfront apartment in return for his help in winning contracts with the state oil company.
In a statement, Lula's lawyers insisted he was innocent and said they would appeal.
"For more than three years Lula has been subject to a politically motivated investigation. No credible evidence of guilt has been produced, and overwhelming proof of his innocence blatantly ignored," they wrote.
The head of the Workers' Party, Senator Gleisi Hoffmann, also hit out at the ruling, saying it was designed to stop Lula standing for office.
She said the party would protest against the decision.
The BBC's Katy Watson in Rio says Lula remains a popular politician and the sentence will deeply divide Brazil.
The charges Lula faces relate to the Car Wash scandal, the nickname for Brazil's biggest ever corruption probe.
Operation Car Wash was launched three years ago amid escalating public anger over political corruption.
The investigation centres on firms that were allegedly offered deals with Petrobras in exchange for bribes, which were funnelled into politicians' pockets and party slush funds.
Lula, a former steel worker turned union leader, came to office as the first left-wing leader in Brazil in nearly half a century.
He was Brazil's most popular president during his tenure - former US President Barack Obama labelled him the most popular politician on Earth.
Unable to stand for a third consecutive term, he was succeeded by close ally Dilma Rousseff, who was later impeached.
Current President Michel Temer also faces corruption allegations and is resisting calls for him to step down.
In the heart of Beijing's old alleyways, the polling station is bathed in autumn sunlight. It is busy. An elderly man has turned up with his wife on the back of his tricycle.
Three nurses, clutching their voter registration certificates, arrive on foot in deep conversation while election officials and policemen oversee the whole affair.
On the surface, it is a scene that would be recognisable to voters in democratic countries the world over. But of course, this is China and the reality is very different.
We drive to the outskirts of Beijing to meet Liu Huizhen, a 45-year-old woman who wants nothing more than the right to take part in this election.
She has managed to secure the ten nominations from fellow citizens that, according to Chinese law, are needed to allow her name to go forward for inclusion on the ballot as an independent candidate but she is not out campaigning.
Instead, she is living under constant surveillance and, as we approach her front door, it is quickly surrounded by a group of unidentified men who stand in silence and block our way.
By reaching over their heads I manage to knock and a few moments later, Ms Liu appears in her doorway.
But as she begins to tell me why she wants to exercise her democratic right, the door is pushed shut and the thugs lean against it.
She makes an attempt to open a window but it too is forced shut and she is, once again, prevented from speaking to us.
China calls its five-yearly, nationwide exercise in voting the "world's largest election".
This week it is Beijing's turn, but by early next year, according to state-run media, 900 million people the length and breadth of China will have cast their ballots.
As a result, more than 2.5 million deputies will take their seats in thousands of local "people's congresses".
Those local deputies will in turn "elect" the city and provincial level congresses above them, and so on all the way to very top.
So these local polls are the only chance most Chinese people get to vote but there is a crucial, unofficial caveat. It is the Communist Party that decides who gets on to the ballot.
For the vast majority of would-be independent candidates the task of obtaining the requisite ten nominations is made so difficult that their quest for office is over before it even begins.

We arrange to meet another election hopeful, 59-year-old Ye Jingchun, at her apartment complex in Beijing.
The residents' committee has called a meeting to introduce the approved list of candidates, which Ms Ye is not on, and we are hoping to speak to her after the meeting is finished.
This time it is a police officer who is there at the entrance waiting for us.
We are not allowed in and Ms Ye is not allowed out but a few hours later we manage to catch up with her.
"They were polite," she tells me, standing on the pavement outside a shopping mall. "But I couldn't leave the room. There were more than a dozen of them."
Her motivation for wanting to stand is a simple one.
"I was once trying to find my own local delegate and I could not, I did not even know who he was," she tells me.
"So I told myself, if I become a delegate, I could serve people who are at the bottom of society, who really need their delegate's help. I would not be a puppet."
It is a noble calling, one that would be recognised by those who choose to represent their local communities the world over.
But here, it is little more than a futile aspiration.
"First of all, we need to get the nomination forms," Ms Ye tells me, "which are extremely difficult to get. In fact, the community officer warned residents not to nominate me."
There has been scant coverage of the local elections in China's state-run media, beyond the usual bald facts and figures.
Nonetheless, an altogether different kind of election, a long way from China, has been occupying the attention of the Community Party's propagandists.
China's journalists have had full, unfettered access to America's open system of democracy and have used that access to full effect.
They have covered the US election as a case study in all that is wrong with Western democracy - the dissatisfaction with elites, the bitter, divisive nature of the campaign and the concerns over media bias and corporate influence.
And Chinese readers of this Communist Party-led reporting have been constantly reminded that they should think of themselves as lucky.
The US campaign has been described as "circus-like," a "chaotic political farce" and a "train wreck".
Of course, some of those sentiments could very well be written from the pens of Western journalists.
That, though, is the point.
Democracy is recognised, even by its strongest proponents as flawed and vulnerable to manipulation but that does not necessarily make it worse than the alternatives.
Public dissent, social discord and a simmering resentment of the ruling classes are not unique to America or Britain.
And the thuggery and heavy-handed control are signs that behind the supposed political unity of China's one-party state lies a deep unease.
It springs from the knowledge that even one independent candidate presents a threat to the very premise on which the whole system is based.
There is no reciprocal, open invitation to the foreign media to freely observe, report and comment.
Outside Ms Liu's house, the thugs have had enough.
The group, now some 20 or 30 strong, grab at our coats and drag us roughly down the road to where our car is parked.

The immediate cause of the incidents has been an intensifying dispute between Islamists and nationalists in Libya about legislative elections that created a new parliament in June.
The new House of Representatives was to replace the interim assembly, the General National Congress (GNC), elected in 2012.
Moderate Islamists fared far worse than they had in the previous elections and have been unwilling to accept the legitimacy of the new body.
Instead, they claim, the GNC, sitting in Tripoli is the only legitimate legislative body and the House of Representatives, sitting in Tobruk, over 1,000km (600 miles) to the east, is not.
GNC members are particularly opposed to calls by the new body for foreign intervention to improve security in Libya, where 350 militias have taken the place of the national army and police force.
In Tripoli, the dispute erupted a month ago into a struggle to control the international airport.
The Libya Dawn alliance, which backs the Islamists, has just wrested control of the facility from the Zintan militia coalition, which supports the nationalists.
Libya Dawn, which is now in complete charge of the capital, was targeted by the raids. It regards the bombing as flagrant interference in Libya's internal affairs by the UAE - which has denied involvement.
Meanwhile, since June, a motley collection of militias, air-force units and army groups under a former general, Khalifa Haftar, has been trying to eliminate pro-Islamist and extremist militias in Libya's second city, Benghazi.
It has been relatively unsuccessful and Islamist militias there have forced out his key ally, the al-Saiqa elite army unit.
Despite this, Gen Haftar has warned that he would extend his campaign across north-western Libya. The bombing raids, which he claimed his forces had carried out, seem to be the harbinger of this.
Whoever was behind the raids, other countries have always been involved in Libya's problems.
Britain, France, the US, the UAE and Qatar intervened in the 2011 civil war that toppled Col Muammar Gaddafi. Qatar has supported moderate Islamist groups since then.
That support has now drawn in other countries, too, for there is a wider crisis in the Middle East as well - the struggle to eliminate the Muslim Brotherhood as a political force in the wake of the Arab Spring and the July 2013 army-backed coup in Egypt.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have come together to confront the Muslim Brotherhood and similar groups wherever they appear - in Egypt, the Gaza Strip or Libya, for example.
The three anti-Brotherhood allies have also targeted Qatar, for its support for the Islamist groups they oppose, hence the raids on Tripoli.
Egypt has also denied being involved in the attacks, but it soon will be, simply because of its fears that radical Islamist militias in Benghazi will soon spill over its borders.
That is no doubt why Gen Haftar is a frequent visitor to Cairo. Indeed Egypt must also be very worried about the situation in the eastern town of Derna, where local extremists have declared a caliphate in imitation of the much-feared Islamic State - which controls swathes of Iraq and Syria.
Nor are the Egyptians alone, as Europe begins to worry that such extremism may soon cross the Mediterranean.
Police were called to an address on Preston Avenue at about 02:50 on Sunday where they found a man with serious injuries.
He was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh but later released.
The woman, who has also been charged with robbery, is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
Det Insp Paul Batten, of Police Scotland, said: "Our investigation is at an early stage and is very much ongoing.
"We're trying to gather as much information as we can from the local community, which has involved handing out leaflets to members of the public as well as door-to-door visits.
"There will also be an enhanced police presence in the area for the foreseeable future as we work towards establishing what happened within this address."
He added: "I urge anyone who remembers seeing suspicious activity in the area of Preston Avenue during the early hours of Sunday to contact police immediately."
Maurice Hammond's aircraft came down at Hardwick airfield in Norfolk, near Bungay, and his unnamed passenger, aged in his 80s, died at the scene.
Mr Hammond was flown to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, where he remains "sedated, to aid his recovery".
Family spokesman Nik Coleman said he was due to undergo further tests.
The pilot was wearing a helmet that gave him a "very high degree of protection", said Mr Coleman in response to "speculation online".
"His family have visited with him [sic] and are encouraged by his progress," he added.
More on this and other news from Norfolk
Mr Hammond, from Eye in Suffolk, is said to be one of the UK's top aviators of the American plane, an expert on plane restoration and has appeared on a Discovery Channel series, Plane Resurrection.
The P-51 D Model Mustang - one of two Mustangs owned by airshow regular Mr Hammond - was on fire when emergency services arrived at the site, about 10 miles south of Norwich.
A witness reported he saw it approach the runway normally but it then disappeared behind trees and he heard a small explosion.
A spokesman for the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said it was due to remove the plane from the crash site later, in an operation that could last until the evening.
"It will be brought back to our headquarters in Farnborough and investigations will continue here," he said.
It could be months before the inquiry is completed, he added.
Norfolk Police said road closures remained in place.
The 31-year-old Texan had bought the ring at auction for £152,450 in 2012.
But Culture minister Ed Vaizey imposed an export bar on it and a campaign last year saw the ring bought for the Jane Austen's House Museum in Hampshire.
The turquoise and gold ring is now on permanent display at the museum.
Ms Clarkson, who collects Austen items, owns what appears to be a replica of the ring and was set to take the real thing back to the US after outbidding the museum at the auction.
But Mr Vaizey said he wanted the "national treasure" to be "saved for the nation".
The ring was indeed saved after the museum, situated at Austen's former home in Chawton, launched a Bring the Ring Home campaign.
Donations flooded in from around in the world, including an anonymous donation of £100,000, to match the price Ms Clarkson paid - as per the conditions of the temporary export bar.
The singer, who won the American Idol TV show in 2002, previously said she was "happy to know that so many Jane Austen fans will get to see" the ring at the museum and called it a "beautiful national treasure".
Museum curator Mary Guyatt called Ms Clarkson "gracious" and said she hoped "to welcome Ms Clarkson at the museum in the future".
The museum already displays two other pieces of jewellery owned by the writer - a turquoise beaded bracelet and a topaz cross.
Ms Guyatt said it was very exciting to have the only three items of jewellery known to have belonged to the author exhibited in one place and said it was "testament to Austen's reputation" that the campaign was so successful.
The ring passed first to the author's sister Cassandra, who then gave it to her sister-in-law Eleanor Austen on her engagement to the Reverend Henry Thomas Austen, Jane and Cassandra's brother.
It remained in the family until Clarkson bought it at auction.
Austen, who lived most of her life in Hampshire, is one of English literature's most celebrated authors.
The building that is now the museum was her home for the last eight years of her life and is where she completed all of her novels, including Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility and Emma.
Later in the year it is planning a series of events to mark the 200th Anniversary of Austen's novel Mansfield Park, which was the first of her books to be written entirely at the house in Chawton.
Actor Mark Ruffalo who played superhero The Incredible Hulk, has written to the authorities in support of protesters.
They are campaigning against an exploratory oil well at Woodburn Forest near Carrickfergus, County Antrim.
Mr Ruffalo, who founded an organisation called Water Defense had written to Environment Minister Mark H Durkan outlining his concerns.
Water Defense is a non-profit organisation dedicated to clean water.
Mr Ruffalo's letter has been copied to First Minister Arlene Foster and the planning authority, Mid & East Antrim Council.
Northern Ireland Water has also received a copy.
In it, Mr Ruffalo said there are many "concerning facts" about the case.
Protesters have objected to the well because they say it is part of the catchment for a reservoir that supplies water to thousands of homes in Belfast and Carrick.
They claim chemicals used in the drill process could leach into the water table.
Northern Ireland Water, which has leased the drill site to oil company Infrastrata, said the project would not compromise the water supply.
Infrastrata has outlined measures that it will take to protect groundwater.
These include collection of surface water at the site and protection of the drill shaft by encasing it in steel and concrete.
In his letter, Mr Ruffalo said the "small amount" of oil and gas that might be found "pales in comparison" to the importance of protecting the water supply.
Water Defense said it would be sending testing kits to local residents and will be monitoring the situation.
Schweigeminute, by Raoul Haspel, has been number one on the iTunes and Amazon download charts in Austria.
Haspel says it is a protest against the conditions at Austria's main asylum centre, Traiskirchen, where hundreds of migrants have been sleeping outside.
Amnesty International has denounced the conditions at the camp as "inhumane".
Last week the human rights group said about 1,500 people were sleeping in the open air, describing the centre as insanitary and lacking in medical care.
Austria's interior ministry said it was working to try to improve the situation at the camp.
The minute of silence, which is so far only available on pre-order for €0.99 (£0.63), is also catching on in Germany and Switzerland.
Speaking to the BBC, Raoul Haspel, said he wanted to give people a platform to protest Austrian and European policies on asylum seekers and refugees.
He said conditions at Austria's main asylum processing centre at Traiskirchen, near Vienna, were "horrible".
The proceeds from the recording will go to a local Vienna initiative, which works providing aid to migrants and refugees at Traiskirchen.
Government officials say every week about 1,600 people request asylum in Austria, the BBC's Bethany Bell reports from Vienna.
They expect 80,000 claims by the end of this year.
The EU's statistics agency Eurostat says Austria received more than 28,000 asylum applications in 2014. In the first three months of 2015, it had received more than 10,000.
Syrians, Kosovans and Afghans were the three biggest groups claiming asylum in Austria in early 2015, the agency says.
A 23-year-old woman was assaulted and robbed of her handbag in Queen Margaret Drive at 23:15 on Monday 2 January.
Police Scotland said the man shown in the images might be able to help them with their inquiries.
He was white, 20 to 30 years old, 5ft 7in to 5ft 9in tall, with short hair, shaved at the back and sides.
PC Jacqueline Harris said: "A violent incident like this within Glasgow cannot be tolerated and we seek the assistance of the public in tracking down those responsible."
Anyone with information has been asked to contact the police.
The firm claims it offers "unlimited access to the mobile internet", but it charges extra for some services.
The digital rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation told the news website the Daily Dot it thought that would contravene the rules.
US authorities barred internet service providers from blocking access or speeding it up for a fee.
Jeremy Gillula, the senior technologist at the foundation (EFF), told the Daily Dot that, while the organisation was still in the process of gathering information, "from what we've read thus far it seems like T-Mobile's new plan to charge its customers extra to not throttle video runs directly afoul of the principle of net neutrality".
On Thursday, T-Mobile announced it was to start offering "unlimited everything - talk, text and high-speed smartphone data" for a single price, rather than a deal that provides a finite amount of data per month.
The firm said the $70 (£53) per month deal, which is named T-Mobile One, was a "radically simple subscription to the mobile Internet. One low price. Unlimited everything. That's it. It doesn't get any simpler than that".
But it only includes standard definition video and customers wanting high definition need to pay $25 (£19) a month extra.
And T-Mobile added that people who use large quantities of data will be placed at a disadvantage compared to those who use less than 26 gigabytes per month and "may notice relatively slower speeds but only at specific times and places that may experience high, competing network demand or congestion".
It said only three per cent of users were likely to be affected.
According to Mr Gillula, limiting video to standard definition unless a premium is paid risks breaching the US Federal Communications Commission's Open Internet Order, which "explicitly said that ISPs can't throttle traffic based on its type, or charge customers more in order to avoid discriminatory throttling".
T-Mobile did not respond to a request for comment.
US net neutrality rules instituted last year were designed to protect the open internet. They mean that broadband cannot slow down users' connections unless the customer pays more. Nor can the firms strike deals with content companies to prioritise delivery of their material.
Matthew Howett, an analyst at Ovum, told the BBC that net neutrality rules in both the US and EU were "new and generally untested" and firms were still "getting to grips with what is acceptable and what isn't".
He said: "Critically in the US, carriers believe the FCC overstepped the mark by imposing the rules and are likely to be more hostile to them if they are challenged in court.
"Ultimately, a balance needs to be struck between protecting the consumers on one hand and allowing for innovation and investment in networks on the other.
"To some extent, rule makers will be relying on competitive pressures between carriers and the prospect of consumers voting with their feet if they don't like what's on offer."
In January, T-Mobile was accused of breaking net neutrality rules with its video streaming service Binge On. It included unlimited amounts of low-resolution video with partnered firms. But it was claimed that the deal also affected the quality of other providers' videos, even if they were not a partner.
T-Mobile's chief executive John Legere posted an expletive-filled response on Twitter; for which he later apologised.
Jasper limped home even though his entire lower leg was shattered, RSPCA inspector Nina Small said.
The shorthaired pet from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire also had airgun pellets lodged in its left eye.
Officials have just released details of the attack on 10 April and anyone with information is urged to contact the animal charity anonymously.
The pellets entered Jasper's left eye, the roof of his mouth, abdomen and neck. Two more pellets were discovered lodged behind his left knee.
"When the owners opened the door the cat walked in and fell in his cat basket. He would've been in a lot of pain," Ms Small said.
The RSPCA believe the pet may have been in the nearby allotments or the school playing field when he was attacked.
It is illegal to shoot at and cause unnecessary suffering to a domestic animal with an air weapon.
Officers have been searching a house at Pen-Y-Bryn, near Gelligaer.
Police said a man was assisting the force with its inquiries.
Gwent Police Det Ch Insp Nicky Brain said: "I'd like to reassure residents that this is an isolated case and we are not looking to speak to anyone further during this investigation."
Security expert Brian Krebs blogged that a large number of compromised cards listed in an alert by Visa appeared to have been used at tills inside US Hilton properties beforehand.
The alert identified cards attacked between 21 April and 27 July 2015.
The breach was not linked to the guest reservation system.
Visa had not named Hilton in the confidential alert it had sent out to to various financial organisations but "sources at five different banks" had named the hotel group, wrote Mr Krebs.
"Sources say the the fraud seems to stem from compromised point-of-sale devices inside of franchised restaurants, coffee bars and gift shops within Hilton properties," he said.
In a written statement, Hilton said it had invested heavily in data security.
"Unfortunately the possibility of fraudulent credit-card activity is all too common for every company in today's marketplace," it said.
"We take any potential issue very seriously, and we are looking into this matter."
Belfast woman Caroline Moreland, a Catholic mother of three, was abducted and murdered by the IRA in July 1994.
The body of the 34-year-old was found near Rosslea, County Fermanagh.
The BBC has heard final recordings made by Ms Moreland, under interrogation, before she was shot dead.
In a harrowing, and unusual recording obtained by BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight Programme, Ms Moreland can be heard "confessing" to having been an informer.
Just before the ceasefires of 1994, she came under the suspicion of the IRA, was kidnapped, held for two weeks, and shot dead.
In the recording her interrogators made, she described how she was persuaded by British intelligence to pass on information.
Senior IRA sources have told the BBC that it is almost certain that one of her accusers was in fact - himself - a British agent, one of its most prized and senior - Freddie Scappaticci, who was given the codename 'Stakeknife'.
Caroline Moreland's daughter, Shauna, said she wants to know why, if her mother was an informer, the state did not intervene to save her.
She said she believes the state and the IRA are equally responsible for her mother's murder.
"One made the bullet and one fired it," she said.
"I would like answers. I want to know first and foremost if she was an informant why her handlers didn't step in and protect her?" she said.
"She was missing for 15 days, it had to set off alarm bells, people had to have known about it. She could have been brought back."
Ms Moreland said a few years ago two IRA men visited her and told her "it was basically just it was a war and that's what happens".
"I don't really remember much of it to be honest," she said.
"They said my mummy was known and respected, but if you informed that was the consequence of it."
Mr Scappaticci has always denied being a British informant and tried to stop part of the programme from being broadcast.
His lawyers lost a court challenge hours before Tuesday's transmission.
In the recording of Caroline Moreland before she was murdered, she said she was pressurised into becoming a British informant and tells others they will not be harmed if they tell the IRA that the British authorities have tried to recruit them as spies.
The victim was heard to say: "I really regret getting caught up with these people and I really regret what I've done.
"They told me that I would go away for at least 25 years and that my children would be taken off me and put into the care of social services. It was at this point that I agreed to work for them.
"I wish that I'd been caught sooner but I really would advise anybody else that is in this situation to come forward and tell, and not to listen to the things they tell you, the fear that they put into you about what's going to happen to you. Just come forward and tell what you're doing."
The last sentence the victim is heard to say is: "No harm will come to you and you'll be helped."
Ms Moreland said she would continue to search for answers.
"I'm confident that I'll keep going until I hit the end of the road and can go no further," she said.
"Ultimately I just want to be able to give my mummy a voice and turn her back into Caroline Moreland, my mummy, and not Caroline Moreland, the IRA informant."
The Ministry of Defence said in a statement that collusion in murder was never acceptable and should be investigated.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said they cannot comment as the case is being investigated by the Office of the Police Ombudsman.
They acknowledged the suffering of families, but said intelligence had saved lives.
The ombudsman is investigating up to 20 murders of alleged informers by the IRA - and Stakeknife's alleged role in them.

Darren Sammy's men produced a superb performance with the ball to restrict Sri Lanka to 122-9, with Samuel Badree taking 3-12 and Dwayne Bravo 2-20.
Only Thisara Perera, who hit 40 off 29 balls, offered any resistance.
Andre Fletcher - opening the batting in the absence of the injured Chris Gayle - blasted an unbeaten 84 off 64 balls in a largely straightforward chase.
Gayle left the field during the Sri Lanka innings due to a pulled hamstring, meaning he was denied the opportunity to bat.
It's a second victory for West Indies, who beat England by six wickets on Wednesday, meaning they will qualify for the last four if they beat South Africa on Friday.
But defending champions Sri Lanka face a battle to advance, and their match against England in Delhi on Saturday now looms large, with the loser likely to be eliminated.
After their batsmen put England to the sword on a flat track in Mumbai, the West Indies demonstrated great versatility to record a completely different type of victory on a more-spin friendly pitch in Bengaluru.
The Sri Lanka innings was evenly poised at 32-2 after the six Powerplay overs when leg-spinner Badree took over.
First of all he induced Lahiru Thirimanne to spoon a drive to point, then he enticed Chamara Kapugedera to come down the track and had him stumped.
The 35-year-old - who hadn't played an international match in almost two years before this tournament - completed a superb spell of bowling by having Milinda Siriwardana caught at slip.
With West Indies spinner Sunil Narine, the world's number one-ranked T20 bowler, not playing in this tournament, Badree could have a vital role to play if West Indies progress further.
Fletcher, 28, didn't play in the first game against England, but was brought into the side at the expense of bowler Jerome Taylor.
The Grenadian was slated to bat at four but was then moved up the order due to Gayle's injury.
Batting with a fluency that eluded everyone else, the right-hander struck six fours and five sixes, scoring predominantly in front of square on the leg side.
He weathered the loss of three partners in becoming the second West Indian opener in consecutive matches to bat through.
The West Indies selectors now face a dilemma if Gayle returns to fitness: whether to preserve the current opening partnership of Gayle and Johnson Charles or pair Fletcher with Gayle at the top of the order.

The centre acts as an accommodation hub for refugees waiting to be sent elsewhere in North Rhine-Westphalia.

As the fire raged, a thick, black plume of smoke could be seen across Duesseldorf.
The smoke drifted close to the flight path from Duesseldorf airport.
The fire department advised those in the north of the city to keep windows and doors shut, reported RP Online (in German). Some 70 firefighters were at the scene.
Ben Smith, a former BBC reporter, was waiting for a flight when he saw smoke rising up on the other side of the airport.
"The smoke was thick and pretty quickly a column was reaching up and flames started to appear," he said.
"It caused a bit of a stir among passengers but it became clear pretty quickly that it wasn't a plane or an airport building.
"Flights were continuing to land as all this was going on. The fire wasn't that far from the runway but the smoke wasn't blowing [in the direction of the airport]."
More than 1,000 Russians benefited from a state-sponsored doping programme between 2011 and 2015, according to a report released last month.
National anti-doping organisations (NADOs) from around the world met at a special summit in Dublin on Tuesday.
They hope their proposals will "help sport move past these dark times".
Russia, which is due to host the football World Cup in 2018, last month gave up a World Cup biathlon meeting set to be held in March and was stripped of a speed skating meet for the same month.
It also lost the right to host the 2017 bobsleigh and skeleton World Championships.
At least 30 sports were implicated by the second part of the report into Russian doping by lawyer Richard McLaren.
He said the London Olympics were "corrupted on an unprecedented scale", while medallists at the 2013 World Athletics Championships and the 2014 Winter Olympics were also implicated.
The NADOs said Russian sports bodies should be banned until a credible anti-doping system was in place, and suggested a "uniform process for athletes to compete as neutrals" until reforms are made.
They added: "It is imperative that those responsible for Russia's state-supported system are held accountable."
The proposals were written and endorsed by anti-doping leaders from Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.
The group backed the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) as the global regulator, but reiterated the need for a "truly independent anti-doping model".
Russia has always denied allegations the state was involved in doping, and officials say they are making progress in cracking down on drug cheats.
Mr Morales reversed the price rises introduced less than a week ago following talks with trades unions and groups representing indigenous peoples.
The fuel price hike had provoked mass protests and a transport strike.
Bolivia's army had begun selling bread in response to a strike by bakers angry at the move.
The leftist government said the aim was to prevent shortages and counter a threat by bakers to raise the cost of Bolivia's daily bread.
In a televised message broadcast late on New Year's Eve, Mr Morales said he had listened to unions and social groups.
He would "obey what the people say by abrogating the decree raising gasoline and everything that accompanied that measure", the Associated Press news agency reported him as saying.
"That means that all of the measures are withdrawn."
The government withdrew heavy subsidies for petrol and diesel last Sunday, saying it could no longer afford to maintain a six-year price freeze.
It said much of Bolivia's oil was being smuggled out of the country by profiteers.
Petrol prices immediately went up by more than 70%, and diesel by more than 80%.
Transport workers had begun an indefinite strike against the price rises.
In an effort to lessen the impact of the bakers' strike, loaves baked in army ovens were being sold by troops in La Paz and El Alto.
"We have been baking bread in our barracks, where we have industrial ovens with a capacity for 10,000 loaves a day," a Bolivian army officer told local media.
The small loaves were being sold at the usual price of 0.40 Pesos Bolivianos (about 5 US cents or 3p), half what commercial bakers said they intended to charge when they reopened.
Mr Morales had also accused the bread makers of "taking advantage" of the situation by seeking to double the price of a loaf of bread, noting that the price of electricity and natural gas used in ovens had not gone up.
On Thursday there had been violent protests in the political capital, La Paz, as well as the neighbouring city of El Alto and in Cochabamba in central Bolivia.
Protests have been suspended for the New Year's weekend but were expected to resume on Monday, when the main trades unions were planning to march.
President Morales had announced a series of measures to counteract the impact of the fuel hike on Bolivia's mostly poor population.
Public sector pay and the minimum wage were being increased by 20%, he said. Power, phone and water tariffs were being frozen, and there was to be new assistance for farmers.
The fuel price hike - which protesters were calling the "gasolinazo" - caused the cost of transport to soar, and pushed all food prices up.
Correspondents say the protests are turning into one of the biggest political tests Mr Morales has had to face since he became Bolivia's first indigenous president in 2005.
Both his predecessors were forced from office by mass protest movements in which he, as a radical peasant leader, played a prominent role.
It follows an investigation by Conservative MP Antoinette Sandbach who found services were "patchy" with some parents unable to access help.
She broke down in the Commons last year as she spoke about losing her own baby.
Neonatal care minister Ben Gummer said he was working to ensure there was consistent support across the UK.
In 2013, one in every 216 births in the UK was a stillbirth, while one in every 370 babies died within the first four weeks of life, the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show.
Mrs Sandbach, who represents Eddisbury in Cheshire and is a former Welsh Assembly Member, has been investigating the disparity of bereavement care in hospitals in the UK.
Her son, Sam, died in 2009 from sudden infant death syndrome when he was five days old. She says there was no bereavement counselling available where she lived and she only got help when a charity paid for a counsellor to visit her home.
Mrs Sandbach told the Victoria Derbyshire programme: "Parents who are coping with the pain bewilderment and grief of losing a child should not need to battle for support.
"The best hospital trusts have a clear pathway to that support and the Department of Health needs to use the resources it has committed to ensure that is available across the NHS."
Amelia Renshaw had twins in 2014, but her daughter Isabel got bronchiolitis and died at six weeks old.
"The hospital was great. They helped us make a memory box, all the little, little things that make it slightly more bearable.
"But once we'd left there was nothing there - I was given the numbers of five or six organisations to speak to for support. Every time I had to tell the story, which was more than painful at that time.
"I had five "nos" and I was mortified, so upset, because I needed this support really early, and I was just getting "no" because she was too young, too old, didn't die of the right thing, and it was just horrendous.
"Isabel died on 3 January - I think I saw somebody in the middle to the end of March, and she was fantastic, but in that period I didn't know what I was doing, I needed guidance.
"I told her how I was feeling and she said it was normal and fine and it was like a huge relief. But if only I'd had that at the beginning."
Stillbirth and neonatal death charity Sands recommended that each hospital should have a dedicated midwife specifically trained in bereavement care, who ensures the entire team is trained.
There should also be soundproofed facilities with equipment such as cold cots to accommodate the bereaved and parents should be offered ongoing aftercare, it said.
"The impact empathetic, sensitive, individualised care has on parents is huge. They remember the care they receive, and good care can make a huge difference to their memories of that difficult experience and make a huge difference to their grieving," said Cheryl Tithererly, of the charity.
One hospital which is considered to give good care is the Alder Centre at Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool. Parents can spend time with their baby in a bereavement suite where they are supported by staff who can help them register a death, liaise with the coroner or arrange the child's funeral. It also offers counselling and a 24-hour helpline.
John, the counsellor who worked with Mrs Sandbach said: "I think you'll find that what we've got here in this part of the country is unique. We will support any parent who can get to us - what we've found is there's a lot of areas that don't have bereavement support."
Minister for Neonatal Care Ben Gummer said: "The problem is a smaller one than it was some years ago but it's still not good enough.
"You might get some hospitals with a good bereavement suite but there isn't a full-time bereavement nurse, and there might not be good counselling after a death.
"What we need to do is make sure we have a really joined-up pathway in all hospitals so we provide consistent support."
The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:15 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.
The government said the ban was to prevent students being distracted from studying during the exam period and to prevent the spread of false rumours.
The blocked sites include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Viber.
They will be unavailable for several days while university entrance exams are taken, a government spokesman said.
"It's a temporary measure until Wednesday. Social media have proven to be a distraction for students," said spokesman Getachew Reda.
Africa Live: More on this and other news stories
Ethiopia was among the first African countries to censor the internet and opposition blogs and human rights websites are frequently blocked.
Social media sites have gone down in Ethiopia before but only for a matter of hours, with the government previously denying any involvement. This is the first time social media sites have been publicly blocked nationwide.
An Ethiopian journalist who has covered the story, who did not want to be named for safety reasons, told the BBC that the clampdown "was just the beginning".
"The government here is very keen to control social media," he said. "They will learn from this, next time there is a protest they will use the experience to do another nationwide clampdown."
Daniel Berhane, the editor of Horn Affairs magazine, said on Twitter: "This is a dangerous precedent. There is no transparency about who took the decision and for how long."
In May, university entrance exams were cancelled after pictures of the test circulated on social media. A group supporting protests for greater rights for Ethiopia's Oromo people claimed responsibility for the leak.
Traditional media in Ethiopia are tightly controlled by the government, leaving many reliant on social media to access and pass on information critical of the authorities.
In 2012, Skype was taken down in Ethiopia amid a clampdown on VoIP (voice over internet protocol) calls. The government claimed that the service was being used for fraudulent purposes.
Last week, the UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution classifying the censorship of the internet as a human rights violation.
The 27-year-old came in at number 10 and finished 114 not out at New Road.
The South African's only previous first-class experience came in 2014 for Northants against the Sri Lankans.
"Two years waiting to play a second first-class game is a long time and you think to yourself 'are you going to play another one?'" he said.
"When I got the nod, I thought when I have a bat or a bowl I've just got to show what I can do."
Barrett has played for a number of county Second XIs trying to earn another first-class chance, including Leicestershire, Middlesex and Somerset.
But his opportunity has come at Northants, and his innings was the highest score by a number 10 for the county in first-class cricket.
He told BBC Radio Northampton: "I'm a coach on the side and I've got very supportive parents, especially my mum, who kept on telling me 'keep going, you're good enough to be playing'.
"It's tough to go round and play seconds cricket, but that's the life of a professional sportsman, you've got to go round and prove yourself. To finally get a gig here is a big plus."
The 28-year-old former Middlesbrough and Bournemouth forward had appeared to suggest on social media on 29 May that he was leaving the Robins this summer.
"Been a pleasure to wear the shirt, THANK YOU so much to everyone," Tomlin had posted on Instagram and Twitter.
But Johnson, whose side finished 17th in 2016-17, told BBC Radio Bristol: "He is here. Of course he is in our plans."
The head coach added: "I signed Lee Tomlin because I wanted to build around him and I believed in the talent and the personality.
"There is no doubt he had challenges in his life last year. But we're always here for him. We want to make sure the best Lee Tomlin is out there playing on the pitch.
"He has to make sure he conforms to everything that's part of that Bristol City ethos. If he does, if we can get him right, he's a top player."
Tomlin, who arrived for an undisclosed fee in July 2016, scored six goals in 38 league appearances in his first season with the Ashton Gate club.

Meanwhile, Johnson also confirmed the club are still hoping veteran striker Aaron Wilbraham will sign a new contract.
The 37-year-old, who has scored 30 league goals since arriving in 2014, was offered an extended deal in May, which also included some "additional non-playing responsibilities" for the club captain.
"We've offered Aaron a deal - he hasn't turned it down yet, which is a good sign," Johnson continued.
"I know there are a couple of clubs that want Aaron and I suppose it's a case of just seeing whether we can tweak the deal and get it over the line."
The body of Karen Catherall, 45, was discovered at High Park, Gwernaffield, near Mold, on Sunday.
Darren Jeffreys from Mold appeared at Wrexham Magistrates' Court for a brief hearing during which he spoke only to confirm his name and address.
He is due to appear before Mold Crown Court on September 26.
Bush was smarting from a lamentable debate performance, during which his attempt to ambush his one-time protege Marco Rubio with an attack on the Senator's absenteeism from Capitol Hill had boomeranged horribly.
The headline "Boulder Crushes Bush," was already doing the rounds on Twitter. In the spin room, veteran journalists composed one-word obituaries: "Finished."
Suffice to say, Bush was not in the mood for a lengthy post mortem with the BBC, and headed down the corridor with an uncharacteristic burst of energy.
Yet when I asked him if his performance was up to scratch, that furry microphone positioned temptingly just below his jawline, he was sufficiently riled up to answer.
"It's not a performance," he harrumphed, "I'm running for President of the United States."
Many of Bush's problems were summed up in those four words: "It's not a performance."
In a conservative movement that continues to deify its movie-star president Ronald Reagan and which lauds Donald Trump, who is better known these days as a reality TV star than a property developer, "performance" has never been more important.
The debates are generating record-breaking viewing figures. Politics has become a branch of the entertainment industry, with television rather than social media the dominant platform.
So candidates who dismiss the theatrical requirements of modern-day campaigning do so at their peril.
Judging by the enduring popularity of the boastful billionaire, the Republican base likes brash performers, the type who would not look out of place hosting WWE professional wrestling.
Alas, Jeb Bush looks like he would be more at home presenting the graveyard shift on National Public Radio.
Bush's frustration that night in Boulder was not just palpable but also understandable.
With eight years' experience as Governor of Florida, with binders full of policy proposals at his fingertips and with a detailed knowledge of foreign affairs, he has the smarts to be president.
What's lacking is a winning personality and the requisite flair for political vaudeville.
Bush's great misfortune is not just that he is an establishment candidate running at a time when anti-establishment candidates are in vogue.
He also suffers from the fact that experience and expertise seem less important than sheer entertainment value.
During last week's debate in Milwaukee, presumably frustrated by the policy incoherence of Trump and Carson, his anger again came to the boil.
"We have to win the Presidency," he complained. "And the way you win the Presidency is to have practical plans."
He's right, of course. What's more, policy wonks and contemplative thinkers can reach the White House.
However, as Bill Clinton (wonk) and Barack Obama (brooding thinker) both demonstrated, they need also to have a feel for political stagecraft.
The early frontrunner, for some the presumed nominee, Bush was at his strongest when voters had not yet attached a personality to his famous name.
And that is hugely ironic, because most commentators thought his name, and the history and sense of entitlement that went with it, would prove to be his biggest handicap.
As it turns out, the problem is not Bush but Jeb - or Jeb!, as his campaign banners have rebranded him, in the hope of vesting him with much-needed lustre.
From bungling the most obvious question that he was likely to be asked - did he support his brother's decision to invade Iraq? - to launching that ill-conceived attack on Rubio, Jeb has not looked ready for primetime.
Again, this is ironic, given that the presidency has been the target of his ambitions for so long.
Some candidates grow in stature as the campaign goes on, as Marco Rubio has demonstrated.
Others suffer stage fright, or simply prove temperamentally unsuited to prosper in a modern-day campaign.
Here, Bush runs the risk of joining the roll call of candidates who had strong paper qualifications to be president but not the skills as a campaigner to win the presidential nomination - a list that includes George Romney (the father of Mitt), and Rudy Giuliani.
Bush not only faces a personality problem but a political one.
He himself acknowledged this at the start of his campaign when he said, rather nobly, that he was willing "to lose the primary to win the general."
By this he meant that he would take moderate positions on issues like immigration that risked alienating the insurgent right but which would make the Grand Old Party (GOP) more inclusive.
At the moment, however, he is struggling even to win over pragmatists in his party.
Here is it worth considering Jeb's political bloodline, because the story of the Bushes in some ways doubles as the story of the modern GOP.
The dynastic patriarch Prescott Bush, a Republican Senator from Connecticut, was the kind of northern-eastern patrician who used to dominate the party.
George Herbert Walker, his preppy son, moved from New England to Texas, not only to make his fortune as an oil man but because the Republican party's political centre of gravity shifted after the civil rights era from Wall Street to the Sunbelt and the South.
His eldest son, George W Bush, a born-again Christian, benefited from the marrying of the conservative movement with the evangelical movement.
Jeb Bush hoped he could write a new chapter not just in family lore but also in GOP history.
A fluent Spanish-speaker, married to a Mexican-American, he looked like the ideal figurehead for a party desperate to make inroads into Latino communities.
Unfortunately for him, the Republican base seemingly has decided on a wholly different path.
Trump, who has electrified the base not just with his showmanship but his hard-line stance on immigration, has framed the contest and given it a heavily anti-immigration tone.
The Bush obituaries drafted in Boulder are precipitate.
Though his campaign has been forced to make cutbacks, he has enough money to remain in the race.
Born 11 February 1953 in Midland, Texas. Son of President George Bush, and younger brother of President George W Bush.
Married Mexican Columba Garnica Gallo in 1973. The couple have three children.
Moved to Miami, Florida, in 1980, where he helped form what would become a successful real estate company, the Codina Group.
Entered politics in 1984, as chairman of the Dade County Republican Party.
In 1994, ran for governor against a popular incumbent, Lawton Chiles, losing by a small margin.
Became governor in 1998, after campaigning on issues normally regarded as Democratic Party territory: public school education, urban renewal, and Medicaid funding.
During his eight years as governor, he overhauled the state's education system and pushed for substantial tax cuts.
Profile: Jeb Bush
Besides, he has always set out to play a long game, hence his statement about losing a few battles in order to ultimately win the war.
As primaries are held in the so-called Blue Zone, the populous Democrat-leaning states where GOP primary voters tend to be more moderate, Bush's pragmatist message should resonate more strongly.
This Blue Zone, as the veteran pundit Charlie Cook and others have pointed out, explains why establishment candidates so often end up on top.
That said, after Boulder, he has been usurped by Marco Rubio.
Looking ahead to primary season proper, one could imagine an outpouring of sympathy towards Bush should, God forbid, something happen to his father.
That said, there is not much love for George Herbert Walker Bush on the Republican right, where he was always suspected of being a blue-blood moderate rather than a red meat conservative.
Or, put another way, a New Englander rather than a true Texan, who betrayed conservative principles by breaking his famous "read my lips, no new taxes" pledge.
The epic irony is that Jeb Bush was long seen as the great political talent in his family.
Presumably, it will be of little comfort that the Kennedys once said the same thing of young Teddy.
Conner Marshall, 18, from Barry, died four days after he was attacked at a Porthcawl caravan park in March 2015.
David Braddon, 26, of Caerphilly, who claimed he mistook Mr Marshall for someone else, was jailed for life.
Wales Community Rehabilitation Company, who was monitoring Braddon, said public protection was its "top priority".
He was being monitored at the time of the killing after he was convicted for drugs offences and assaulting a police officer.
A report by the National Offender Management Service raised concerns about Braddon missing appointments with probation staff, as well as revealing risk assessments and reports that had not been completed.
But it concluded Mr Marshall's murder was not predictable or preventable, and that management of the case had not been linked to the crime.
Speaking to BBC Radio Wales' Eye on Wales programme, Mr Marshall's parents Nadine and Richard said they had raised the money through a crowdfunding website to hire a legal team.
"We want to question the accountability and the processes taken or not taken whilst he (Braddon) was on community service," Mrs Marshall said.
"The sentence we keep getting from the Ministry of Justice or the Community Rehabilitation Company is that Conner's murder was not predictable and that it was unforeseeable which is gut-wrenchingly insulting because of what we now know."
The couple, who do not meet the requirements for legal aid because they both work, have exceeded their £5,000 target.
But they think they might need up to £25,000 to fully fund any further legal proceedings.
"The process that should be implemented cannot be, for lots of different reasons. So therefore there are lots of potentially harmfully offenders roaming and there are far more families just waiting for something like this to happen," Mrs Marshall said.
"I have got no faith at all in the system because it's just creaking, it's completely overwhelmed with problems."
In response, a Wales CRC spokesman said serious further offences are "rare" and all decisions were made and supervised by "fully-qualified and experienced probation workers".
"Public protection is our top priority and it is our job to help move people away from crime, and we strive continuously to improve the quality of the services that we provide. However, not all individuals desist from further offences," the spokesman said.
"The management of the case has not been linked to the crime committed - the serious further offence report found that Conner's death was not predictable or preventable.
"After thoroughly reviewing the case, we have strengthened our partnership working between offender managers and intervention providers, ensuring enhanced joint working between agencies to support consistent risk management."
Launching the BBC's annual report, Tony Hall said it had a duty to "inform, educate and entertain".
The annual report came two days before the government publishes a green paper on the BBC's future.
It will reportedly ask whether the BBC should rethink how many popular entertainment programmes it broadcasts.
BBC One talent show The Voice, which originated in Holland, has been mentioned by critics as an example of a show that has been used to compete for ratings with commercial rivals.
But Lord Hall said: "I believe the BBC should continue to make programmes for everyone. A BBC that doesn't inform, educate and entertain is not the BBC the public know and love.
"The great majority are happy to pay the licence fee. The BBC belongs to this country. The public are our shareholders."
A survey carried out for the Annual Report found 48% of the public supported funding the BBC through the licence fee, compared with 29% for advertising and 20% for subscription.
The Annual Report revealed that spend on BBC talent - the corporation's star presenters - increased from £194.2m in 2013/14 to £208.4m in 2014/15.
The wage bill for big names, who earn more than £1m a year, rose by £924,000 or 22%.
Although the BBC does not reveal the identity of those biggest-earners, the handful of stars making more than £1m are likely to include Chris Evans, Gary Lineker and Jeremy Clarkson.
Clarkson's departure could have a significant impact on the figures for the coming financial year.
In 2014 the BBC committed itself to spending no more than 16% on talent and the current figure represents 12.2% of spend on content.
Lord Hall pointed to dramas such as Wolf Hall, The Missing and Poldark as examples of BBC successes over the last 12 months.
And he warned against undue interference in programming. "The last time politicians got creative, we ended up with the Millennium Dome," he said.
"So it will be hard to support any proposal that stops us finding the next Strictly, the next Bake Off, or - dare I say it - the next Top Gear."
BBC Trust chairman Rona Fairhead added there was "no evidence that the public wants less entertainment".
She said: "The BBC can't be all things to all people, but as a universal public service broadcaster it must strive to serve all audiences."
The 2014/15 annual report also included the following audience figures:
Meanwhile, the report revealed that the BBC's total severance pay had fallen 30% in a year since a £150,000 cap was introduced.
The number of bullying and harassment cases reported this year had fallen by 36%, it said.
Speaking about a recent agreement with the government to take on the cost of providing free TV licences for over-75s, Lord Hall said the deal was "not a good process... but that agreement has now been concluded".
"The debate now moves on to what kind of BBC we want in the future. And I'm much happier starting that debate from a shared agreement around flat cash funding for BBC services, rather than starting off down around three-quarters of a billion pounds."
But the BBC's financial chief, Anne Bulford, said that despite the licence fee funding that has been secured, income would be down in real terms by 10%.
When asked if he considered resigning over the negotiations with the government regarding over-75 licences, Lord Hall said: "I didn't... because I believe in the BBC and fighting for the BBC."
He called for a "proper public debate about the future of the BBC" before the corporation's royal charter is renewed.
Lord Hall said: "There's a clash between two very different views of BBC. There is an alternative view that prefers a much diminished BBC. I don't support this view. Nor does the British public."
The government's green paper is due to be published on Thursday. According to press reports, it is also expected to examine the future of the licence fee, suggest the BBC website could be scaled back and ask whether the BBC is politically impartial.
Meanwhile, shadow culture secretary Chris Bryant has set out Labour's vision for the future of the BBC in a speech in London.
He said there was "now just 18 months left to save the BBC" following recent government criticism of the corporation. He also pledged to save Strictly Come Dancing and The Voice.
"The BBC is our nation's cultural NHS and the golden thread through it all is that it provides something for everyone," he said.
It comes after Lord Patten, a former Conservative Party and BBC Trust chairman, criticised the government during a Lords' debate on the BBC.
He said: "I wish I could feel confident its future was safe in the hands of the present administration.
"I don't think the prime minister or chancellor want to have as part of their legacy that they began the destruction of this great broadcaster."
South Africa all-rounder Philander suffered a groin injury in the Championship defeat by Kent.
Taylor, 32, has taken 126 wickets in 85 one-day internationals for the West Indies at an average of 28.16.
"We're delighted that we have agreed terms with Jerome," director of cricket Keith Greenfield said.
"Jerome is a vastly experienced international white-ball bowler and we believe he will be a great asset to [head coach] Mark Davis and our squad during the tournament." | Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been convicted of corruption charges and sentenced to nine and a half years in prison.

The news agency says the alleged offenders are represented by silhouettes and the words "arrested" and "terminated" are superimposed.
An Amazon spokesman had no comment.
Many companies tackle workplace theft, but experts were surprised by the severity of the measure.
The report referred to Amazon's US-based warehouses, and the BBC understands the tactic has not been deployed in the UK.
The details coincide with the announcement that the online store is creating 1,000 jobs at a new centre in Manchester.
Bloomberg said it based its article on interviews with 11 of Amazon's current and former warehouse workers and security staff. It reported that one ex-employee called the scare tactic "offensive".
"These videos show former colleagues being caught stealing things [or] changing the addresses on packages as they leave the fulfilment centre, and even some of them with the word arrested stamped on the silhouette," reported Bloomberg's Cory Johnson.
"It's a problem that Amazon is of course very concerned about, but their tactics to try to get people not to steal are reaching new heights."
The news agency said that the clips are shown via flatscreen TVs. These are also used to display information about firings tied to workplace violence, it said, as well as more positive announcements.
It added that in warehouses not fitted with screens, information about sackings is sometimes taped to the walls.
"Lost stock is a massive issue affecting all retailers regardless of whether they are online or store-based," commented Bryan Roberts from the shopping consultancy TCC Global.
"There are lots of measures in place, such as searches to make sure that stuff doesn't go missing. But this perhaps does sound slightly extreme."
Another expert was more critical, saying Amazon's practices appeared to be "profoundly emotionally unintelligent".
"What sort of an organisation has got to the point that it thinks this is a satisfactory or commendable way to be behaving?" asked Matthew Gwyther, editor of Management Today.
"It reminds me of Ben Hur with them standing over the rowers with a whip.
"I find it extraordinary that its relationships with its workforce have reached such a low point that it would do something like that."
Amazon is trying to reduce its reliance on humans by deploying robots in its warehouses, which can move goods about and carry out other simple tasks. The firm is also experimenting with using drones to make deliveries.
The club said it had granted former player Evans permission to train with the side following a request from the Professional Footballers' Association.
Evans, 25, was freed last month after serving two-and-a-half years for rape.
Ms Webster told BBC's Newsnight that "at no point" had the club acknowledged the "extremity of his crime".
The Wales international footballer was jailed in April 2012 for raping a woman in a hotel room in Rhyl.
Her resignation comes after Sheffield United released a statement on Tuesday saying Evans would be allowed to train with the club. It said the club had not yet decided whether to re-sign him.
Ms Webster told Newsnight that "nobody" was making a decision about Evans, adding: "I suppose I feel I need to make a decision as patron of Sheffield United.
"My decision is made on the fact that I don't believe a convicted rapist, as in Ched Evans, should go back to a club that I am patron of and should go back into the community to represent the community.
"He's not just going into a job, he's bandied as a role model, we cheer him on as a role model and he's influencing the next generation of young men who are currently still making their decisions on how to treat women and what sexual mutual consent is."
Ms Webster - who in an interview earlier this year revealed she had been sexually assaulted as a teenager - said she had had a "positive" conversation with the chairman of the Sheffield United before resigning.
It comes after campaign groups criticised the decision to allow Evans to resume training with his former club.
Almost 157,000 people have signed a petition urging Sheffield United not to take the player back after the club chose not to renew his contract following his conviction.
However, Sheffield United said there could be no place for "mob justice" in making a decision over his future.
The club said it had considered the views of staff, the Football League and the PFA, as well as the club's supporters and the general public.
An appeal against Evans's conviction was rejected by three judges at the Court of Appeal in 2012. His case is due to be looked at by the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
The Welsh striker maintains his innocence, saying the sex was consensual.
The village of Frosterley in Durham was split in two after the River Wear burst its banks three weeks ago.
Durham County County said it had had to wait until the river level fell so workers could remove fallen trees and divers could inspect the structure.
The bridge passed the safety inspection and has now reopened to the public, the council said.
Lewis Stratford met Meg Williamson ahead of his sentencing for the crash he caused during an argument with his girlfriend on the phone.
Gavin Roberts, 28, died after Stratford's car crossed the central reservation on the A34, in Oxfordshire.
At the meeting, which Ms Williamson set up, Stratford, 24, said he knew he had ruined lives.
"When I had the message she wanted to meet me I felt upset because I'm guilty and I feel like a bad person," he told the BBC, which filmed the encounter.
Ms Williamson asked to see Stratford, of Field Avenue, Oxford, after he pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. He is due to be sentenced at Reading Crown Court on 3 March.
He had been driving southbound towards his girlfriend's home, while Mr Roberts - an Australian who was living in Swindon - was going northbound on his way to work as an electrical engineer.
Stratford lost control of his Vauxhall Corsa during the argument on 11 June last year and crashed through the barrier before colliding with Mr Robert's BMW.
Both men were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but while Stratford survived, Mr Roberts died days later.
Stratford was the first to speak in the meeting, saying: "I know I've caused a lot of pain with something that could have waited till the next day.
"I know the lives I've ruined, I deserve everything I get. I am sorry but I can't keep saying that because it's not going to make things better."
Speaking after the meeting, Miss Williamson told the BBC: "The hardest bit originally, I think, was just walking through the door, not knowing how I was going to be feeling, how I was going to react.
"Back in June, when I was sat in the hospital, I did have that hatred and I did have the anger but then over time you realise Lewis is a real person and he had compassion and he was sorry for what he did.
"It's very difficult to warm to somebody when you know why you're sat there but I was understanding of his emotions and compassion and thankful to him for having agreed to meet me."

It is clear from the graph above that net migration (numbers coming to the UK minus numbers leaving) has increased since the late 1990s.
These are figures on long-term international migration from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) going back to when they started being collected in 1964.
Long-term migrants are ones who say they are planning to move countries for at least a year.
There have been increases in both long-term arrivals and long-term departures since the late 1990s, but the former has outstripped the latter.
Main pledges
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Mr Farage said on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 that between 1990 and 1997: "Net migration to Britain ran at between 30,000 and 50,000 people a year - that was normality."
He's not exactly right about those figures. In 1992, net migration was minus 13,000 and in 1993 it was minus 1,000. So in both of those years more people left than arrived.
In 1994, it was 77,000, in 1995 it was 76,000 and in 1996 it was 55,000.
So in fact, in the eight-year period to which he referred, net migration was only in the range of 30,000 to 50,000 for three years.
The period did not follow an obvious trend, and it is hard to see why it would be described as "normal".
During the 1960s and 1970s, net migration was mainly negative, with more people emigrating from the UK than arriving to live here - perhaps that was normal.
In the 1980s, net migration moved into positive low levels and then started gradually increasing from the mid-1990s.
Since the turn of the century, annual net migration has been between 150,000 and 300,000 - maybe that's normal.
The point is that since records began in the 1960s, net migration has only been between 30,000 and 50,000 for six years, so describing that range as normal seems a bit odd.

The campaign group, Conradh na Gaeilge (The Gaelic League), met a DUP delegation in April, including party leader Arlene Foster and Edwin Poots.
Conradh na Gaeilge said Mr Poots told them the £19m cost was "reasonable".
The DUP did not confirm or deny the claim, but told the BBC: "Our views are well known and documented."
In a statement issued to the BBC's Talkback programme, the party said: "We want to see mutual respect for all languages and cultures in Northern Ireland but not one elevated above all others."
The issue has been a major sticking point in talks to restore devolution at Stormont.
When asked about the issue in February this year, Mrs Foster said the DUP would never agree to an Irish Language Act.
Alluding to Sinn Féin's demand for the legislation at that time, she said: "If you feed a crocodile it will keep coming back for more."
However, in April, Mrs Foster said she wanted to meet Irish speakers, to better understand those who love the language.
Later that month, the DUP leader visited Irish speakers at a Newry school and used the Irish phrase "go raibh maith agat" [thank you].
The following day, 27 April, Conradh na Gaeilge met a DUP delegation which included Mrs Foster, Mr Poots, South Belfast MLA Christopher Stalford and party advisor David Graham.
The group's advocacy manager, Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin, told Talkback the delegation seemed "genuinely interested" in Conradh na Gaeilge's proposals.
Mr Mac Giolla Bhéin said the £19m estimate would be spent over five years, to give the Irish language legal status and protection.
Those measures would include the appointment of a language commissioner and the establishment of a "central translations unit".
Their research also included estimated costs of providing translators in the legal system, so the Irish language would be an option in the courts.
Mr Mac Giolla Bhéin, said £9m of the £19m bill would be spent on "one-off costs," needed to establish initial infrastructure to support the language.
However, several callers to the programme expressed concern about the proposals, at a time when public money is needed to support health, education and roads.
Mr Mac Giolla Bhéin said: "We were mindful throughout the completion of this document that there is obviously pressure on public expenditure at the moment.
"There is obviously a political question to solve here - that we aren't in a situation whereby there is broad political support for this.
"We know that there is difficulty around this, so what we attempted to do was to balance that with the legitimate expectations of the Irish language community."
To produce its costings. Conradh na Gaeilge considered estimates produced by Sinn Féin's Carál Ní Chuilín to introduce an Irish Language Act when she was Stormont's minister for culture, arts and leisure.
Mr Mac Giolla Bhéin told Talkback they also looked at the costs of official language status in the Republic of Ireland and Wales.
The group believes that ongoing costs of maintaining the Irish Language Act would decrease over time, to about £2m per year.
In a statement, Conradh na Gaeilge's president, Niall Comer, said the view expressed by Mr Poots during their meeting was "significant".
"We see this as a considerable development, considering the public statements previously made by the DUP in which cost was used as the main obstacle to progressing legislation."
Conradh na Gaeilge was set up in 1893 by Douglas Hyde, a Protestant from County Roscommon.
He was a leading Gaelic scholar and writer who campaigned for the preservation and promotion of the Irish language.
Hyde later served as the first president of Ireland, from 1938 to 1945.
Philip Spriggs, 51, from Oxford, was found guilty of a total of 20 charges including 11 counts of rape, sexual assault and making indecent photos.
Oxford Crown Court was told the offences took place in Headington over seven years between 2007 and 2014.
Thames Valley Police praised his victims for being "brave" and "speaking out".
Spriggs was given an additional seven years on licence and placed on the sex offenders' register for life.
Det Sgt Tracey Shepherd said: "The victims in this case have been very brave at speaking out against their abuser.
"They can now begin to rebuild their lives knowing they do not have to suffer further abuse."
Spriggs, who was arrested and charged last October, was found guilty of 20 charges following a trial in April.
The charges were 11 counts of rape, two counts of assault of a child under 13, one charge of attempted rape, two charges of sexual assault of a child under 13, two counts of causing a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, one charge of assault by penetration, and one count of making indecent photos.
The Briton has lost four finals in Melbourne - three to Serbia's Djokovic.
"You just have to keep trying to learn, watch his matches, see if there are any weaknesses you can capitalise on," said Murray, second in the ATP rankings.
"Maybe he has a drop-off. It's very difficult to maintain that level for such a long period."
Murray, 28, lost the 2010 final to Roger Federer, before suffering defeat by Djokovic in 2011, 2013 and 2015.
The Serb, also 28, holds three of the four Grand Slam titles, having won Wimbledon and the US Open in addition to the Australian Open.
He prepared for the first major of the season, which runs from January 18 to 31, by beating Rafael Nadal in straight sets to win the Qatar Open last week.
Murray has indicated he will leave Melbourne to return home if his wife Kim goes into labour early with their first baby, who is due in mid-February.
He said, though, that his priorities on the court are to win the Australian Open and to defend his Olympic title in Rio later this year.
"I've been close many times and that's my number one goal," he said.
"I won the gold in London four years ago so to try to defend that is another big goal for me. They would be the two main ones for me."
Jermaine Baker was killed in London by an armed officer in December 2015.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) previously announced the officer would not be charged as there was "not a realistic prospect of conviction".
But the CPS told the BBC it had received a Victims' Right to Review (VRR) application from the family.
The 28 year old, from Tottenham, was with two other men in a car near Wood Green Crown Court.
They had intended to help spring an inmate from a prison van but firearms officers were deployed to foil the plan and Mr Baker, who was unarmed, was shot.
The VRR scheme allows bereaved relatives or partners in homicide cases to request a review of a decision not to charge.
The CPS said it was considering the application.
Paul Anderson, 37, Joanna Farrer, 38, and the girl were convicted at Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday of religiously aggravated actual bodily harm.
The victims, a mother and daughter, were punched and kicked repeatedly during the attack in Eltham last May.
Anderson, of Sevenoaks, was jailed for three years. Farrer, of Eltham, and the girl will be sentenced at a later date.
The court heard the attack, on 5 May, started when the younger victim had an altercation with the teenager, then aged 12, as she and a boy crossed Middle Park Avenue in Eltham, south east London, in front of her car.
It escalated when the daughter, a 23 year old, met up with her 42-year-old mother and they bumped into the girl and the boy again, who verbally abused the mother.
The girl - who cannot be named because of her age - then attacked the daughter before running off as the woman backed away to call the police.
But she quickly returned with Anderson, Farrer and another, unidentified, woman, the Met Police said.
Anderson punched the 42-year-old woman to the ground whereby one of the female attackers tried to rip off her hijab.
He then punched the younger victim and both women were repeatedly struck by the gang as they lay on the ground, police said.
The attack only stopped when one of the victims managed to flag down a passing ambulance, causing the suspects to flee.
In sentencing, Anderson was ordered to pay £2,000 in compensation to the victims and had an extra month added to his sentence after he called the victims and members of the jury "an offensive word" during the trial.
Farrer will be sentenced on 21 April while the girl will be sentenced at Bromley Youth Court on a date to be set.
Melanie Pressley, of the Met Police's Greenwich Community Safety Unit, said: "This was a brutal and completely unnecessary attack on two Muslim women who were racially abused and then assaulted.
"The victims were left terrified by what happened and lived in fear they would be targeted again."
The company is increasing the number of flights on its winter schedule from October.
Belfast International said it would mean more than 125,000 extra seats will be on sale on its routes to Gatwick, Stansted and Luton.
Additional capacity will also be added to services to Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester.
Belfast International said the move "could lead to over 100 new aviation-related jobs in Northern Ireland."
Easyjet operates to 26 destinations from Belfast and already employs 230 staff locally.
Airport managing director Graham Keddie said: "Increasing the number of seats will mean significant increases in airport activity.
"This is a good day for the airport, but an even better one for the Northern Ireland economy."
The winter schedule covers the four months from October.
Easyjet said this coming winter 9,620 flights are on sale from Belfast, providing 1,585,968 seats.
Last winter 8,711 flights were on sale providing 1,394,408 seats.
At a news briefing, he said he would dissolve parliament later this week and was also delaying a planned but unpopular increase in sales tax.
Mr Abe was elected two years ago with an ambitious plan to revive the economy, but has struggled to do so.
His popularity has fallen but he is expected to win the election, which will take place in mid-December.
"I will dissolve the lower house on 21 [November]," Mr Abe said.
Mr Abe's party, the Liberal Democrats, already have a majority in the lower house, but analysts said Mr Abe hoped to consolidate power over an opposition party which is in disarray.
He also wants public support to continue to press ahead with "Abenomics", his ambitious plan to kick-start Japan's stagnant economic growth using heavy government spending and economic reforms.
"I need to hear the voice of the people," Mr Abe said. "I will step down if we fail to keep our majority because that would mean our Abenomics is rejected."
One of his senior advisers told the BBC instability was the last thing voters want.
"Many people in Japan still remember how chaotic Japan's revolving door politics was, when the prime minister changed once every year," said Tomohiko Taniguchi, special adviser to the cabinet.
The rise in Japan's sales tax was brought in by the previous government in 2012 to curb Japan's huge public debt, which is the highest among developed nations.
The first rise - from 5% to 8% - took place in April. Mr Abe's government had hoped the increase would boost government income but instead Japanese consumers stopped spending.
Figures released on Monday showed that the world's third biggest economy had fallen back into a technical recession.
The second increase, to 10%, was set for October 2015 but will now be delayed by at least 18 months.
People on the streets of Tokyo appear bemused by the prospect of yet another election.
But Mr Abe said he wants a new mandate to push ahead with even more ambitious economic reform.
He wants to spend even more money, and to delay another tax rise that was due to take affect at the end of next year.
But there is another reason for calling an election now. This month Mr Abe's popularity slipped below 50% for the first time since his election in 2012.
By Japanese standards 50% is still quite high. But in another year from now Mr Abe may face a much tougher battle to get re-elected.
Better to go now while he is still almost certain of winning another majority, and locking in another four years in power.
Why is Japan heading to the polls?
An election does not need to be held until 2016.
But Mr Abe is looking for a secure mandate ahead of introducing unpopular policies that could see his popularity fall even further, correspondents say.
Mr Abe has also strongly advocated restarting Japan's nuclear power generation plants, all of which were shut down amid public anger after the Fukushima disaster in 2011.
Before the accident about 30% of Japan's power was nuclear-generated, and Mr Abe says the shutdown is damaging the economy because of expensive energy imports.
Mr Abe has also supported a reinterpretation of Japan's constitution that would allow the use of force to act to defend allies, known as collective self-defence.
But the review acknowledged the need for a long-term vision for learning, assessment and qualifications.
Education Minister John O'Dowd commissioned the review following a plan to change the exams in England.
Mr O'Dowd presented the review findings to the assembly and has opened a consultation process.
The review was conducted by the Northern Ireland examinations board, the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA).
It made 49 recommendations ranging from short-term changes to GCSEs and A-levels, to exploring the use of the GCSE and A-level brand alongside England and Wales.
Mr O'Dowd told the assembly he was pleased with the report.
"This an important piece of work and provides an unprecedented opportunity to set out our own stall for learners here.
"The recommendations articulate what we should do to improve the life chances of our young people.
"The report allows us to pro-actively determine what is right for us in the context of our own curriculum and to align our qualifications to our curriculum in the interests of all learners."
The report proposed that GCSEs and A-levels remain as they are, but there will be discussions about those names.
Pupils will still be tested periodically as well as at the end of the courses and coursework will still count towards the final result.
The review also said consideration should be given to streamlining GCSE English and English language.
It recommended a new mathematics qualification and a new IT course.
The Ulster Teachers' Union urged Mr O'Dowd to take on board feedback from teachers during his consultation.
Avril Hall Callaghan said its biggest concern was that Northern Ireland pupils "should not be disadvantaged by any changes".
"The education secretary in Westminster, Michael Gove, has also proposed swingeing changes to the system there, so we are facing a period of upheaval and it is vital that our young people should not suffer as a result," she said.
"Northern Ireland has traditionally produced some of the UK's top performing students and any changes to the system must ensure this gold standard remains."
President of the NUS-USI student movement Rebecca Hall expressed reservations about the planned removal of second re-sit opportunities.
"This could have a very negative impact upon people's ability to fulfil their potential and have access to the widest possible range of opportunities," she said.
"We do, however, recognise that the minister is ensuring a high degree of consistency in the qualifications.
"We also recognise the fact that this announcement today, in cementing the future of these qualifications, will hopefully help retain their integrity and portability."
In June, Westminster Education Secretary Michael Gove announced an overhaul of GCSEs in England, which would move from coursework to exams at the end of two years.
Mr Gove proposed that the changes should come in from 2015.
The team behind the film were in the middle of their speeches before it was revealed the accolade should have gone to Moonlight.
However, it is not the first time the wrong winner - or loser - has been announced at an awards ceremony or live on TV.
Wrong envelope
A little piece of paper was the cause of confusion at the 2016 Mobo awards when the prize for best song was given to the wrong winner.
R&B trio WSTRN kept their award for almost an hour before it was revealed it should have gone to MC Abra Cadabra.
Hosts Rickie Williams and Melvin Odoom announced the error, explaining "someone picked up the wrong envelope".
What a way to steal someone's thunder.

It was possibly the shortest reign in history.
One minute Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, was being hailed as the winner of Miss Universe, the next she was watching "her" crown being placed on the head of Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.
In a mistake of truly universal proportions, 2015 contest host Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner and the winner's sash and crown were put on the wrong woman. Harvey then had to tell the world a terrible mistake had been made. Awkward.

The organisers may have got this one right, but one high-profile member of the audience certainly disagreed.
Singer Taylor Swift had just won best female video for her song You Belong With Me at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. However, Kanye West didn't agree with it.
Before Swift managed to utter a single thank you, the rapper snatched the microphone from her and proceeded to tell the audience - and everyone watching on TV - that Beyonce should have won. Cue opened-mouthed shock from Miss Swift.

"I'm feeling sick about this," Australia's Next Top Model presenter Sarah Murdoch uttered to the astonishment of viewers.
Kelsey Martinovich had already been crowned as 2010 champion by public vote and was halfway through her acceptance speech.
Murdoch - wife of Lachlan Murdoch, the eldest son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch - then announced the actual winner of the TV contest was 18-year-old Amanda Ware.
"This is what happens when you have live TV, folks," Murdoch added.

Not so much announcing the wrong winner, as announcing the correct loser at the wrong time.
X Factor host Olly Murs had to apologise to 2015 contestant Monica Michael after he announced to the nation that she was leaving the talent show.
In fact, he had miscounted the votes from the four judges, thinking that three judges were sending Monica home. It was actually tied two-two and it went down to the public vote.
She lost the vote anyway - but everyone then thought it was a fix.

The UK public had been voting to decide who would represent the UK at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest, with bubblegum pop group Scooch and solo singer Cyndi both among the hopeful finalists.
So there was understandable confusion when hosts Sir Terry Wogan and Fearne Cotton simultaneously announced different winners live on air.
Moments later Cotton announced that Scooch had indeed won the public vote. A BBC statement later apologised for the gaffe but confirmed Scooch had won and would be making the trip to Helsinki. Meanwhile, Cyndi's hopes of Euro glory were well and truly Finnish-ed.
Scooch later finished joint 22nd out of the 24 Eurovision finalists.

Somewhat bizarrely Michael Jackson actually accepted a non-existent award at the 2002 MTV video music awards.
The show happened to be held on the "King of Pop's" birthday, and after calling him on stage to receive a birthday cake, singer Britney Spears told the audience she considered him to be the "artist of the millennium".
Jackson then began a full acceptance speech.
"When I was a little boy growing up in Indiana if someone told me that one day as a musician I'd be getting the artist of the millennium award, I wouldn't have believed it," he said.
He thanked God, his mother, Diana Ross and magician David Blaine, among others.
Singer Katy Perry accepted the award for best international song during France's 2009 NRJ Music Awards, held in Cannes.
However, the gong wasn't actually meant for her. It should have been awarded to Rihanna.
Perry's embarrassment was eased slightly by the fact she did legitimately win best international album for her One of the Boys album at the same awards ceremony.
Sacré bleu.
DJ Brandon Block stumbled on stage at the 2000 Brit Awards believing he had won something.
In fact, Rolling Stones' guitarist Ronnie Wood and American Beauty actress Thora Birch were in the middle of presenting the best soundtrack award to the film Notting Hill.
Block later recalled that - having been enjoying the corporate hospitality to the full - he had been duped into thinking he had won an award by his mates, and had obligingly trooped up to collect it.
It ended with Block being manhandled by security and Wood throwing his drink over him.

So Japan's Ueno Zoo has held a drill for its zookeepers.
But they didn't use a real zebra - one of their staff got dressed up as a zebra instead!
The fake zebra acted as if it had escaped after an earthquake and rushed past zoo staff. But they managed to catch the animal with a net ready to take it back to its enclosure.
The large landslip, at the cliff on which St Mary's Church stands, has exposed ancient graves when rock started to crumble.
The church, founded around AD1110, includes the graveyard that provided the inspiration for a scene in Bram Stoker's horror novel Dracula.
The human bones have been collected and will be reinterred, officials said.
The landslide has been blamed on a broken drainage pipe which has become damaged and fallen away.
This meant that after heavy rainfall the soil became saturated, leading to more of the cliff falling away.
A stream of water can now be seen flowing out of the rock face where the bones are believed to have been recovered.
St Mary's rector, Canon David Smith said: "The cemetery has been closed for over a century, so if any graves are exposed it's only bones.
"If anything is exposed we collect and reinter them in the same churchyard away from the edge."
More cracks have since appeared in the cliff top at St Mary's churchyard and warning signs have been installed along the pathway.
Residents and business owners in the area are now concerned further landslides may occur should the cliff be subjected to more heavy rainfall.
Barry Brown, owner of Fortune's Kippers on Henrietta Street, below the cliff, voiced his fears of further movement.
He said: "There is still stuff coming down. It is currently no worse, but not a lot better either.
"They started work this week but it all depends on the weather."
The church, a famous setting in Bram Stoker's Dracula, was built more than 900 years ago, with the cemetery closing in 1865.
Canon Smith said: "St Mary's is the oldest building left in Whitby.
"It is a Grade I listed building and still the parish church so it would be a loss to the community."
The land, including the cliff itself, is the property of the church, and so it is their responsibility to carry out repairs.
Canon Smith added: "The church has been trying to get things done and we have had a civil engineer and people working to sort it out.
"They've been trying to find where the water was coming from and making the cliff edge more secure."
Whitby town councillor, Steve Smith, said the church building was not under threat.
He said: "The church is close to the edge of the landslip, some work has been done by a mini digger to do exploration work where the slippage is.
"I'm assured by the rector of the church, Canon David Smith that the church itself is built on a solid rock foundation."
The landslide comes after five houses in Aelfleda Terrace, Whitby, were demolished in December after heavy rain and flooding washed the steep bank beneath them away.
Central and local government funding for charitable organisations is being cut back as a result of the drive to reduce the deficit. Donations from members of the public are also coming under increasing pressure.
At exactly the same time that some traditional sources of funding are drying up, more and more people are looking to charities to provide desperately needed support and services.
It is because charities are determined to meet this need that many are increasingly looking for new and innovative ways to raise funds.
One idea that is increasingly being looked at is the issuing of charitable bonds which provide a form of long-term debt to expand their work.
A charity or social enterprise may be able to issue bonds if it has a viable underlying source of revenue with which to repay the bondholders. These may include a chain of charity shops, payments by result for the delivery of a public service, or a long track record in raising funds from a large donor base.
As this form of finance is still emerging in the social sector, there are various types of bonds in existence.
The bond issued by Allia, for example, comprises an innovative investment - suitable for retail investors - to the housing association Places for People, which repays the loan with interest and additionally provides a grant to a charity. This bond allows individuals to invest as little as £100 per bond.
Another organisation, Investing For Good, arranges charity bonds and is currently assisting Scope, the disability charity, to become one of the first UK charities to enter the capital markets.
It is piloting a £20m bond programme operating similarly to corporate bond products and it is hoped that the programme will allow Scope to expand its income generating activities, such as its network of charity shops which generate long-term sustainable sources of income for its work with disabled people.
Triodos Bank is assisting the community interest company Bristol Together plan a bond issue worth £1.6m. The first £600,000 was bought by a charitable foundation and the second tranche of £1m will be sold to private individuals to attract Community Investment Tax Relief, which allows investors to reduce their tax bills by 5% a year for five years.
The guarantees offered to investors with charitable bonds vary, but are primarily based on the track record of the underlying investment, so it is important to understand this in order to gauge the level of investment risk.
Currently, with the exception of the Allia/Places for People bond, investment in charitable bonds is largely limited to charitable trusts and wealthy philanthropic investors.
It is hoped that in the future there will be a growing number of charitable bond products available with well-established track records, which will allow more widespread investment from the general public. This could be invested directly or through special investment products like pension funds.
One particularly interesting type of charitable bond is the Social Impact Bond (SIB) pioneered by Social Finance.
This contract is where the public sector pays the private sector to secure a substantial improvement in the way of life for a specific group, in order to reduce the public sector's costs in the long-run.
While the contract is ordinarily made with the private sector, the organisations that deliver the services on the ground are often charities or social enterprises.
Unlike traditional bonds, SIBs do not have a fixed rate of return as financial return depends on the achievement of specific social outcomes set at the start of the bond issue. The higher the social impact, the higher the return earned by the private sector.
Under a SIB, the charity sector organisation bears no financial risk as the repayment is commonly between the public and private sector. The public sector pays if, and only if, the intervention is successful.
One of the first SIBs was launched in 2010 by the St Giles Trust, a charity providing access to housing, training and jobs for ex-offenders.
This SIB has been designed to reduce reoffending among male prisoners leaving Peterborough prison who have served a sentence of less than 12 months. During the scheme, intensive support will be provided to 3,000 short-term prisoners over a six-year period, both inside prison and after release.
If this initiative reduces reoffending by 7.5%, or more, investors will receive a share of the long-term savings to the government.
If the SIB delivers a drop in reoffending beyond this threshold, investors will receive more money for the greater the success, up to a maximum of 13%.
However, if reoffending is not reduced by at least 7.5%, the investors will receive no recompense at all.
Charities have a long track record of innovation and charitable bonds are a sign of this.
Hopefully, they will go some way to plugging the gap left by the decline in some traditional sources of funding. At the same time they could provide great opportunities for people wanting to invest their money for a return, while helping to make a real difference at the same time.

The Welsh side started slowly at the Liberty Stadium but grew into the first half and led when Alfie Mawson headed in Gylfi Sigurdsson's corner via a deflection off Oriol Romeu.
Recently installed manager Paul Clement threw his arms into the air and his side looked to have seized control but a slick Saints passing move after the break saw Shane Long prod in Ryan Bertrand's low cross.
Long's finish was just Southampton's fourth touch inside the area but although they then seized the momentum, the impressive Sigurdsson struck when Luciano Narsingh - coming off the bench for his debut - crossed on the counter-attack.
Saints rallied late on with Sofiane Boufal seeing a shot blocked and Maya Yoshida heading wide, but Claude Puel's EFL Cup finalists have now lost five of their past six Premier League games.
They drop to 12th, while Swansea stay 17th after a timely win on a night where relegation rivals Crystal Palace also picked up three points.

"Performance was so-so, the result massive," said Clement, who turned towards fans and clenched both fists on the sound of the final whistle.
The club's major shareholders Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan were in the stadium and their decision to appoint the ex-Derby manager appears to be paying dividends.
This was a second win in three league games - to the delight of home fans, who faced the prospect of seeing the club suffer four consecutive home defeats for the first time in the top flight.
While the neat, intricate passing style that once defined Swansea in the Premier League was lacking, there was bite in midfield and resilience when called for.
Leroy Fer and Jack Cork offered aggression, while Mawson was solid at the back, not least when he bravely blocked Boufal's late shot in the area.
But there is no doubting the class act in Swansea's ranks. Sigurdsson made the opener, had a long-range effort held by Fraser Forster and a good drive tipped over before the break.
When his moment arrived, he coolly steered in the ball as new boy Narsingh showed rapid pace to lead a break and deliver a cross.
News of forward Jordan Ayew joining from Aston Villa, who will take Swans defender Neil Taylor in return, will offer further attacking options.
But new recruits will need to go some way to become more important than Sigurdsson. He has now either scored or created half of Swansea's goals this season and Clement will be desperate for more of the same.
Former England winger Trevor Sinclair on Match of the Day: "I think Paul Clement has learnt from his mistakes when he was at Derby. He seems to have got the chemistry right and it is showing in Swansea's performances."
Former Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy: "I am surprised Tottenham let Sigurdsson go. He loves scoring goals; he is technically superb. Without him they would be in a world of trouble."
Poor league form, excellent EFL Cup form - Southampton pose questions for Puel, who admitted his side did not do enough in the first half to merit more on the night.
Long was wayward when sent racing into the area early on but their first-half highlights ended there, as they seemed to play in flurries throughout the 90 minutes - a trait that has run through much of their season.
Before kick-off, no Premier League side had more players injured than Saints, a predicament that had seen Puel rest 10 players in the 5-0 FA Cup loss against Arsenal at the weekend.
But there were still positives for his patched-up side. Romeu was destructive and classy in midfield - completing 92% of his passes - and Long's goal arrived from a fine move as Steven Davis slipped Bertrand clear to pick out a cross.
Nathan Redmond fired wide when well placed and saw Lukasz Fabianski tip another shot over - but two shots on target from 10 efforts perhaps shows why Puel has signed Manolo Gabbiadini from Napoli.
Saints have scored only 23 league goals all season, so the £14m signing could be a huge help, as would the return of several players from the treatment room.
Swansea boss Paul Clement: "A massive result for us - to back the great away win at Liverpool with a home win in a really hard game. They peppered our box with crosses. We showed big character. Our second goal was fantastic, a great counter. We have done more than I expected. Since the heavy loss to Arsenal we have taken one or two really important games."

Southampton boss Claude Puel: "A good second half but perhaps it was too late. We cannot take a positive when you lose a game. It was not sufficient for us in the same half without a good concentration and application of our football. The second half was a good reaction, a good try, but they played clinically tonight and have been rewarded."
Swansea host Manchester City for a lunchtime kick-off on Sunday, while Southampton entertain West Ham on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

Dragons head coach and former Russia boss Kingsley Jones told BBC Radio Wales: "I know they're a stubborn team and after 10 minutes particularly, we were leading 10-0 and we have to respect the opposition.
"It's never going to be 25-0 in five minutes.
"So I thought the way we went about our business in the second half particularly was excellent.
"They came back into the game with a try, but the challenge with this team - I've been saying it for a year or so - is the top two inches.
"The biggest positive is that we went on and achieved what we set out to do when they got back in the game."

In an online statement it said the attack, which killed 37 people, was in revenge for military operations in the mainly Kurdish south-east.
The TAK, an offshoot of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), had already said it was behind another bombing in Ankara last month.
Authorities in Turkey have blamed the latest attack on the PKK.
In a further development, Germany closed its embassy in Ankara and its consulate and a school in Istanbul on Thursday.
Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said there were "very concrete indications that terrorist attacks were being prepared against our facilities in Turkey".
Twelve German tourists were killed in a suicide bombing blamed on the so-called Islamic State (IS) group in Istanbul in January.
How dangerous is Turkey's unrest?
Tears and destruction amid PKK crackdown
Turkey in midst of hideous vortex
Sunday's suicide car bombing took place in a busy commercial district and transport hub in the centre of Ankara. Dozens of people were wounded.
After a bombing in 2011, TAK went quiet for a few years but has now reared its head with an attack at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen airport in December and the two suicide bombings in Ankara.
The reason is clearly the resumption of armed conflict between the Turkish state and Kurdish militants in the south-east.
Since a ceasefire between the two sides collapsed last July, hundreds have been killed and predominantly Kurdish cities are under repeated curfews.
Just as the PKK has resumed attacks on military and police targets largely in the south-east, TAK has stepped up its bombings in other parts of the country, targeting the capital to show it can hit the very heart of the Turkish state, revelling in exposing apparent security lapses.
The TAK (Kurdistan Freedom Hawks) was formed in 2004. It is regarded as the hard-line offshoot of the PKK, rejecting any attempt at ceasefire talks with the Turkish state.
On Wednesday, the group said on its website (in Kurdish) that Sunday's bombing had been aimed at security forces and had not been intended to kill civilians.
However, it warned that further civilian casualties in its attacks were inevitable.
"On the evening of March 13, a suicide attack was carried out... in the streets of the capital of the fascist Turkish republic. We claim this attack," the group said.
Earlier this week, Turkey named one of the bombers as Seher Cagla Demir, saying she was a member of the PKK and had been trained by the Kurdish YPG militia, based in Syria.
The Turkish government considers the YPG a terrorist group, but its allies, including the US, support the YPG in its fight against IS.
Turkey said that a second suicide bomber was male, but had not yet been identified. However, the TAK made no mention of a second bomber.
Turkey's interior ministry says the 24-year-old student, from Kars province in eastern Turkey, was responsible for the suicide car bombing in Ankara.
In a statement (in Turkish) the ministry said she had joined the PKK in 2013 and had received training from the People's Protection Units (YPG) in Syria.
The TAK has released a statement on its website naming Seher Cagla Demir, alias Doga Jiyan, as the suicide bomber behind the 13 March attack.
Pro-secular Turkish newspaper Sozcu reported that Demir was studying at Balikesir University. She was already on trial, along with four others, for membership of the PKK, the paper reports.
The TAK said the attack was in revenge for Turkish military operations in the mainly Kurdish city of Cizre in south-east Turkey.
Turkey responded to Sunday's attack by launching air strikes on Kurdish targets in northern Iraq. It said 11 people had been detained in connection with the blast.
A two-year-old ceasefire between Turkey and the PKK broke down last summer.
Since then, more than 340 members of Turkey's security forces have been killed along with at least 300 Kurdish fighters and more than 200 civilians.
Both the TAK and the PKK are classified as terrorist groups by Turkey and the US.
The TAK has previously said it carried out the suicide bombing on a military convoy in Ankara in February that killed 28 people.
Sibley, who came through Surrey's academy, was offered a new deal at the start of the season but has chosen to move to Edgbaston.
The 21-year-old has featured regularly in all three formats this season.
"He told me the reason he's leaving is that he feels his opportunities at Warwickshire would be greater," said director of cricket Alec Stewart.
Warwickshire sport director Ashley Giles added: "Dominic is an outstanding cricketer with England potential.
"He has a big role to play for the club across all forms of the game and we're delighted that he has chosen to take this great opportunity to be part of this exciting young squad that we are building."
Sibley, who has scored four fifties in seven County Championship games this season, follows Adam Hose and Will Rhodes in choosing to join Warwickshire this summer.
The former England Under-19 batsman has scored 1,533 runs in 30 first-class games at an average of 34, with two hundreds.
"We've had numerous conversations with Dom and his advisors over the past 11 months and I'm comfortable in knowing that we could not have done any more in showing how much we wanted him to be a big part of this club," Stewart continued.
"We believe we were moving Dom in the right direction and are bitterly disappointed he has chosen to leave us at this stage of his career."
Nicky Reilly, then 22, carried three devices held in glass bottles into the Giraffe restaurant in Exeter in 2008.
Reilly, who admitted attempted murder and preparing an act of terrorism, was sentenced to life in prison and told he must serve a minimum of 18 years.
Reilly, 30, was found dead in custody at HMP Manchester on Wednesday. The cause of death has not been revealed.
A Prison Service spokeswoman said "as with all deaths in custody" there would be an independent investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman.
Reilly had been targeted by extremists ahead of his bombing attempt, according to his mother, who said she was "too upset" about his death to comment.
I was there at the Old Bailey when Reilly was sentenced.
In the public gallery, his mother Kim wept through much of the hearing.
She always said her son was vulnerable and preyed on by extremists, who used him by pretending to be his friends.
But Reilly himself showed no remorse.
And he had viable bombs, which could have caused dreadful destruction had they detonated in the way Reilly intended on that spring day, back in 2008.
Former Devon and Cornwall Police Assistant Chief Constable Bob Spencer, who commanded the emergency response to the attempted bombing of May 2008, told the BBC: "My sympathies go to his family and loved ones.
"But Reilly did attempt to commit a terrible crime, and justice had to be done in terms of him receiving a long prison sentence."
Sentencing Reilly at the Old Bailey in London, Mr Justice Calvert-Smith said it was "sheer luck or chance that [the bombing] did not succeed in its objectives".
"The offence of attempted murder is aggravated by the fact that it was long-planned, that it had multiple intended victims and was intended to terrorise the population of this country," he added.
Police believe Reilly was encouraged by extremists in Pakistan.
In 2004 he changed his name to Mohamed Rashid Saeed-Alim, and began to download videos on bomb-making and martyrdom.
He had been preparing to detonate the bombs, containing about 500 nails, at the Giraffe restaurant when one exploded in his hands.
Dozens of customers and staff fled the restaurant in panic.
Reilly - who converted to Islam between 2002 and 2003 - had learning difficulties and Asperger's syndrome.
He received a separate 16-month sentence in July for attacking staff at Broadmoor high security psychiatric unit in a row over prayers.
A Prison Service spokesperson said: "HMP Manchester prisoner Mohamed Saeed-Alim died in custody on Wednesday 19 October.
"As with all deaths in custody there will be an independent investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman."
He is replaced by Ed Balls, previously the shadow home secretary. Mr Balls' wife, Yvette Cooper, takes over the home affairs brief.
Mr Johnson said he had "found it difficult" to cope with issues in his private life while shadow chancellor.
His resignation comes after just three-and-a-half months in the job.
It follows several recent gaffes when discussing tax and economic matters, including appearing in an interview not to know the rate of National Insurance paid by employers.
Mr Johnson, a former postman and trade union leader, was also reported to have clashed with his party leader over the policy of introducing a graduate tax to replace university tuition fees.
In a statement, the Hull West MP said: "I have decided to resign from the shadow cabinet for personal reasons to do with my family.
"I have found it difficult to cope with these personal issues in my private life whilst carrying out an important frontbench role.

"I am grateful to Ed Miliband for giving me the opportunity to serve as shadow chancellor of the exchequer. He is proving to be a formidable leader of the Labour Party and has shown me nothing but support and kindness.
"My time in Parliament will now be dedicated to serving my constituents and supporting the Labour Party. I will make no further comment about this matter."
Mr Johnson declined to comment as he left a Labour Party meeting in his constituency.
BBC political editor Nick Robinson said the resignation had "come out of the blue" and it was not one of those stories that people had been gossiping about and wondering if it would become public.
However, he said Westminster was now "abuzz with rumours about his marriage" and stressed Mr Johnson had not been "pushed out" because of his handling of the shadow chancellorship.
"This is a deeply uncomfortable personal story which I fear Alan Johnson may see spread out in newspapers and will have to tackle in public as well as in private," he added.
Mr Miliband told the BBC he had accepted the resignation "with great regret", adding: "As shadow chancellor and a politician who held five cabinet positions, Alan showed real leadership on issues that mattered to families across our country, warning of the dangers posed by the government's gamble on growth and jobs, promoting educational opportunity and delivering neighbourhood policing.
"Ed Balls is an outstanding economist and is hugely qualified to take our economic message to the country."
In a BBC interview, he said: "Alan Johnson was the right man for the job. He's had to stand down for personal reasons, nothing to do with the job."
Mr Balls, who ran against Mr Miliband in last year's Labour leadership contest, coming third, said: "It is a great honour to be appointed to this post, and to succeed my friend and colleague Alan Johnson whose commitment to social justice and service to the Labour Party is second to none."
As Mr Miliband reshuffles his frontbench team, Douglas Alexander becomes shadow foreign secretary and Liam Byrne is made shadow work and pensions secretary.
Tessa Jowell becomes shadow Cabinet Office minister.
Sixty-year-old Mr Johnson, an MP since 1997, served as home secretary, health secretary and education secretary under Gordon Brown.
Conservative deputy chairman Michael Fallon said: "Alan Johnson is a good man and I wish him well. But what really beggars belief is the appointment of Ed Balls...
"He was Gordon Brown's first lieutenant... [They] brought the government to the brink of bankruptcy."
Susan McLean, 61, from Pennsylvania, had last been seen in Aberfeldy on 17 May. She had been on a two-week tour of Scotland with her family.
The remains were found by volunteer searchers in a wooded area near the town on Saturday.
Police Scotland said there were no suspicious circumstances.
More than 600,000 people tried to solve the puzzle series, with 30,000 making it to the final round of the challenge.
David MacBryan, 41, from Edinburgh, US-born Kelley Kirklin, 54, from London, and Wim Hulpia, 40, from Lovendegem in Belgium, came closest to completing the series of puzzles.
They win a GCHQ paperweight, a pen and a signed copy of Alan Turing Decoded, by Turing's nephew Dermot Turing.
Mr MacBryan, who is originally from Dublin and describes himself as a professional quiz master, told the BBC: "The more puzzles you do, the better you get at doing puzzles - and I have done a lot of puzzles. I am a bit of an addict."
The first stage of the puzzle series appeared on the Christmas card sent out by GCHQ director Robert Hannigan.
Filling in squares produced a Quick Response, or QR code, which when scanned took people to a website with the subsequent stages.
The puzzles were developed by a team from GCHQ - working in their spare time out of the office, they stress - over a period of months.
"I don't think there's any coincidence that you find a bunch of people setting these sorts of problems who are also working on the kind of problems GCHQ works on," one of the team - who requested anonymity - told the BBC.
"We are faced with problems where there is incomplete information, there is ambiguous information, you have to decide whether you have pushed an angle far enough… that's the sort of thing we expect people to do with these sort of questions."
Another of the quiz-setters explained how one of the puzzles was solved - it involved not just interpreting a series of letters as Roman numerals to solve an equation, but also recognising that the Xs could be multiplication symbols rather than just representing the number 10.
Another puzzle involved arranging squares to get the first word of the title of films consisting of two words.
Arrow and dice surrounding the word point you to one of the letters from the second word of the film title.
When you have all of these letters they reveal the answer. The full set of answers will be published on GCHQ's website.
A swan is currently being treated in intensive care at the charity's Norfolk hospital after being found in Upwell with two crossbow bolts embedded in it.
Last month a goose was found near Elm with a crossbow bolt in its back.
The RSPCA described the latest attack on the swan, on Sunday, as "truly horrific, senseless and violent".
The swan was spotted with a crossbow bolt protruding from its shoulder.
An X-ray carried out at the RSPCA's East Winch Wildlife Centre revealed a second bolt embedded near its tail.
RSPCA inspector Justin Stubbs, who rescued the bird, said: "Presumably someone must have shot this beautiful bird with this cruel weapon, and then calmly reloaded and shot him a second time.
"This is the most recent in what feels like a sustained attack on the wildlife in this area and I am very anxious to put a stop to it."
Alison Charles, East Winch manager, said: "Sadly it is not looking good for this poor swan at the moment. He has not been as lucky as the goose.
"The bolt penetrated one of his air sacs and had dead tissue around it.
"The injuries here are truly horrific, it is so sad. It seems such a senseless and violent way to treat such graceful birds."
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act it is an offence to take, injure or kill a swan and punishment can include fines up to £5,000 or a prison sentence of up to six months.
Close to 171,000 landmines were removed, according to the Halo Trust, a British charity that led the clearance.
The landmines were left after a long fight for independence followed by a civil war. Many were planted up until the 1990s.
The charity says it is the first large mine-contaminated country to be completely cleared of mines.
The last mine was removed from the base of a railway bridge in the centre of the country.
Many were planted close to key structures, such as dams, bridges and electricity pylons. In all, 17m sq metres (183m sq ft) of land were cleared, areas that authorities now hope can be put to agricultural use.
Work continues on clearing mines in a number of other countries, including Sri Lanka, Laos, Angola and Colombia.
You don't forget the sight of someone freshly injured from an anti-personnel land mine blast. These cruel weapons are designed to deny territory to "the enemy" but invariably it is ordinary civilians, including children, who pay the heaviest price.
The US, Russia and China are just some of the countries whose crude calling card has been left in Mozambique over the decades. The human toll is hard to quantify but the Halo Trust told me that hundreds of people have been wounded or killed by mines.
Whilst anti-personnel mines rendered huge swathes of land in Mozambique no-go areas following the struggle for independence and a long civil war, what often gets lost in the headlines is the inhibiting effect landmines have on economic development.
On the spot where the last known landmine was destroyed by the side of a railway line, I found fresh sprigs of grass poking up through the fertile soil, in what is rich sugar cane growing country.
"Don't be surprised if families quickly lay claim to the land and begin to farm informally," my guide told me.
Sarah Brewster was 21 years old and from the Stafford area, the coroner for north west Wales confirmed.
North Wales Police have said the incident at Blue Lake quarry at Friog, near Fairbourne, on Wednesday, was being treated as an accident.
The coroner has now opened an investigation into her death.

The 18th Century work, Ganymede and the Eagle, is by Italian sculptor Massimiliano Soldani-Benzi.
It is being sold at auction in Edinburgh later this week by Lyon & Turnbull.
Douglas Girton, a specialist with the company, said it was a "major discovery of an extremely rare item".
"We were conducting a routine valuation when we came across the bronze," he said. "Nothing is known of its origins, how it came to be in the family's possession or where it had come from."
"After extensive research we can say that it is the long lost bronze originally ordered by Lord Burlington during his five-day visit to Florence during his Grand Tour of late 1714 from the sculptor Soldani.
"There is a copy in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, but this was probably done at a later date."
Soldani-Benzi, who was born in 1656 and lived until 1740, was an Italian sculptor and medallist, mainly active in Florence.
Mr Girton said a companion bronze to the one found in the Borders was also made.
"It's out there somewhere and it would be wonderful if the two bronzes could be reunited," he said.
The exact location of the discovery has not been revealed.
Most groups have ignored a government order to lay down their weapons.
In the town of Antunez, they say soldiers shot dead at least three people from the community, including an 11-year-old girl.
Vigilante groups have now taken control of large areas of Michoacan state.
There is a strong police and military presence in the town of Apatzingan, considered the stronghold of the Knights Templar cartel.
Most businesses around the town are closed in a form of self-imposed curfew, says the BBC's Will Grant in Michoacan.
By Will GrantBBC News, Apatzingan
With a heightened military and police presence in the area, locals enjoyed a rare night of relative calm following several days of clashes between the vigilantes and the Knights Templar.
The governor of Michoacan reiterated the government's intention to restore order. But the fact he was talking in a heavily guarded building in Apatzingan, a town under virtual lock-down, illustrates the extent of the cartel's power here.
The pseudo-religious gang controls the methamphetamine, opium poppy and marijuana trade and is unlikely to relinquish its control lightly.
But the self-defence forces insist they have the backing of local people, and have vowed to keep fighting until the Knights Templar are flushed out for good.
The vigilantes have been accused of either working in tandem with the government or at the behest of a rival cartel. They robustly deny those allegations.
"There is no law here. The decisions are taken here in the mountains, in the hideouts of the Knights Templar leaders," Apatzingan Catholic priest Gregorio Lopez told the BBC.
"They are the ones who decide. Here the public institutions are mere puppets," said Father Lopez.
On Monday, Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong had a meeting with the state governor in the regional capital, Morelia, and announced the deployment of federal troops to quell the violence.
Mr Osorio Chong said the vigilante groups should either join the police force or disarm.
Soldiers and marines have moved into towns seized in the past week by the vigilantes - Nueva Italia, Paracuaro and Antunez.
Leaders of the "self-defence groups" have given contradictory statements as to whether they would disarm.
Some of them initially indicated that they would follow the government orders, but most of the groups have now rejected orders to disarm.
"We're here to the death, all of us," warned Estanislao Beltran, who heads a vigilante group in the town of Tepalcatepec.
The vigilante groups first emerged in early 2013 as response to the violence perpetrated by the drug cartel, which ranges from extortion to kidnappings.
Local citizens said that they had no choice but to arm themselves as federal troops failed to guarantee their security.
"How does the federal government imagine that we would lay down our arms when they haven't detained a single leader of the Knights Templar? How is that fair?" asked a vigilante leader in Michoacan.
"It's illogical. Because if we're left without weapons, they will immediately come and kill us."
The Knights Templar, which controls much of the methamphetamine trade to the United States, says the vigilantes have sided with their rivals of the New Generation cartel, from neighbouring Jalisco state.
The "self-defence groups" fiercely deny involvement with any criminal organisation.
The 33-year-old was injured on day two at Edgbaston with the hosts going on to beat Australia by eight wickets.
"It's not as serious as we thought at first. I'll be aiming to get myself ready in three weeks for the Oval," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
The fourth Test starts on 6 August with the fifth Test on 20 August.
An England and Wales Cricket Board statement said Anderson's availability for the final Test at The Oval would be "determined in due course".
After two compelling bowling displays by England, Anderson's omission from the fourth Test will come as a severe blow to the hosts.
The Lancashire bowler took six wickets as Australia were all out for 136 in their first innings, before taking another as the tourists were reduced to 168-7 on day two. The home side wrapped up victory on day three to take a 2-1 series lead.
He was injured on his birthday after taking 10 scalps in the Ashes series so far, and will now miss the Trent Bridge Test which has been a happy hunting ground in previous years.
Anderson has taken 53 wickets in Nottingham, with Lord's the only Test venue where he has been more deadly with 75.
"It's a bit sore, I felt something on one of the deliveries," he added.
"It could be a number of things. It was on my 33rd birthday, after 12 years of professional cricket - that might have something to do with it.
"Injuries happen to fast bowlers. I've been very fortunate in the last few years that I've not had many so you've just got to take it on the chin. Hopefully I can come back stronger."
He joked: "I'll be trying to referee the football warm-ups in the morning, I spoke to Alastair Cook earlier and he said he'd like me to stick around."
England team-mate Stuart Broad says bowling alongside Anderson at The Oval would be a boost.
"It is a big loss but Jimmy is more positive than when he left the field on Thursday," he told Sky Sports.
"He thought he had gone in the side but got back from the scan and was confident he would be OK for The Oval. That will be a big bonus."
The development has echoes of the injury suffered by Australian bowler Glenn McGrath, who hurt his ankle in the warm-up of the Edgbaston Test during the 2005 series in England.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan said: "There is always a twist in an Ashes series. Is Jimmy Anderson's injury that moment?"
Listen to Anderson's interview with BBC Radio 5 live.
There was no edge, no bite to the contest.
There was always a danger that England would learn little before the defence of the Ashes in Australia this winter, especially when it comes to those seemingly timeless problems at numbers two, three and five in the batting line-up.
Dawid Malan's 65 aside, that was the case in Birmingham and will probably remain the same when we revert to normal playing hours for the remaining two Tests at Headingley and Lord's.
I'm not saying there are no positives. England, who have already beaten South Africa this summer, should travel to Australia full of confidence.
Joe Root, the new captain, will not be under the microscope. Alastair Cook once again found a massive score at the top of the order and the engine room of Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali is strong.
The fast bowlers are settled, even if I would like to see Mark Wood fully fit in Australia so England have that extra yard of pace.
But, no matter how many runs Malan, Mark Stoneman and Tom Westley score in the rest of the series, we simply will not know if they are up to the pressure, intensity and hostility of a tour of Australia, because the West Indies bowling is no better than what they would face in county cricket.
With that being the case, I will be very disappointed if those three do not hammer out lots of runs in the rest of the series. I'm not talking about a half-century here or there; I'm talking about a proper hundred.
Only then will we have a better idea of what they are like, but even that will not be enough to stop the pre-Ashes conversation focusing on England's batting.
As well as those currently in the side, names like Haseeb Hameed and Alex Hales will probably be tossed around.
From when the squad is named at the end of the summer to when England play the warm-up games, right up to the beginning of the first Test in Brisbane, we will be wondering if the majority of England's top five can cut it in Australia.
We are waiting to be convinced, and the answers will only come down under.
I take no pleasure in saying that the poor showing of West Indies was pretty much what I expected before the series began.
Even with low expectations, I was still left disappointed by their bowling, which showed no penetration at all.
They have clearly had it drummed into them that, in England, you have to pitch the ball up.
But that does not mean you forego your intent or aggression. We barely saw them bowl a bouncer and young Alzarri Joseph - talked about as having extreme pace - was little more than fast-medium.
Even though the West Indies lost 19 wickets on day three, the bowling was perhaps more of a let-down than the batting, because the batting display was not a surprise.
Their wait for a Test win in this country, which currently stands at 17 years, will almost certainly extend beyond this series.
It is the challenge of Stuart Law, the coach, to identify a group of players with an eye on building something over the next six or seven years.
West Indies Under-19s are the current world champions so there is a reservoir of potential talent in the Caribbean.
It has to be the long-term goal of Law - and everyone connected with West Indian cricket - for that talent to be nurtured to a place where they can once again be competitive in Test cricket.
I have nothing against the concept of day-night Test cricket and it was reasonable for England to play a home day-nighter in order to prepare for matches in Australia and New Zealand this winter.
But, in the long term, I am not sure further day-night Tests will work in the UK, simply because the unpredictable nature of the weather can make it a poor spectacle for the fans at the ground.
If you have a long, warm, summer evening, that's fine. The problem comes when fans have to wrap up like they are about to head off on an Arctic expedition.
I was leaving Edgbaston just after 7pm and saw plenty of people heading to the car park, frozen solid and not willing to shiver any longer. They were having to miss out on two hours or more of play.
There were other, smaller problems. Occasionally it became hard to see the ball, especially at the beginning of the final session of the day. Having said that, it can sometimes be hard to see the white or red balls.
I am told the players did not have problems picking it up, so that is probably the main thing.
Overall, though, day-time Test cricket in the UK is brilliantly staged and we should celebrate it. Beautiful skies, the white kit of the players against the lovely green grass is something to be proud of.
If organisers can follow the ticket-pricing of Edgbaston - the cheapest for this match came in at £21 - there is no reason why traditional Test cricket cannot continue thrive in England and Wales.

This Test will not only be remembered for the floodlights, but also for the moment when Stuart Broad went past Sir Ian Botham's 383 Test wickets to go second on the all-time list of England wicket-takers.
I have known Stuart since he was a very young lad. His dad Chris, someone whom I played against a lot, lived in the next village and brought young Stuart and his sister Gemma to a barbecue at my house.
He is very hard-working and focused on his job of taking wickets for England.
He may have had a few issues going into this game: he perhaps did not get the rewards he would have liked against South Africa and was not too keen on the idea of the pink ball. He was concerned about how the day-nighter would pan out, things like how he would be able to sleep after a late finish.
Perhaps now he will think that day-night matches are not so bad after all.
I hope he still has the outswinger in his locker. At the moment, his stock delivery seems to swing in to the right-hander. Broad did pretty much all of his bowling in the first Test from the Pavilion End, with the breeze pushing the ball in that direction - I suspect that is what he will tell me when he reads this.
He is still a terrific bowler, one capable of those spells that completely destroy an opposing batting line-up - remember Australia in 2009, again in 2013, and South Africa in 2016.
Broad has been a fabulous competitor. When he is on a roll, he blows teams away.
Jonathan Agnew was speaking to BBC Sport's Stephan Shemilt.
It's blatantly obvious to say so, but winning matches is the only way for a manager to stay in their job. How they do that, though, is down to an individual's philosophy and beliefs.
There are many ways to win football matches, and winning to most of us is the be all and end all. But style is more important to some than others.
Brendan Rodgers is widely regarded as one of the brightest coaches in the English game.
His philosophy of pure, total football is what he believes in and one of the reasons why Liverpool received so many plaudits during the season when they finished second in the Premier League.
He is the blueprint for all young aspiring coaches in this country. However, his recent sacking shows that even the best coaches might not always achieve the results that their work deserves.
During their recent recruitment process for a new manager Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony was vocal on his opinions about how style was extremely important to him and the club's fans.
New manager Graham Westley will have taken the job knowing full well that winning games was vital, but so was the way in which they won those games.
Most football fans would agree that Sam Allardyce did a fantastic job at West Ham. He got the team promoted from the Championship and made them an established team in the Premier League.
However, he didn't ever seem to be fully accepted by the West Ham fans as his style of football wasn't necessarily to their liking and was replaced by Slaven Bilic this summer.
Lower down the levels it might be more of a case of getting enough results to buy yourself time to implement your own philosophy.
Unless a successful manager moves up the ladder to a new club, usually an incoming manager inherits a team and a squad that has been used to losing.
To change a mentality within the squad is not as simple as clicking your fingers and working magic and most managers will want to bring in their own players.
However, at clubs lower down the scale players will not walk away from their contracts and clubs will not be able to afford to pay players out of those contracts and bring in new players.
Therefore, managers might be stuck with players they might not necessarily want but they might need to utilise to get enough points to buy the time to gradually change the squad around.
The first job that a manager takes is vital. The stability of the club, the relationship with both the club's board and the club's fans and the finances of a club are extremely important for any manager - let alone an inexperienced manager. Few are lucky enough to be picky so most have play the cards they are dealt.
Our manager at Wycombe Gareth Ainsworth is currently ninth in the list of longest-serving managers after only just over three years in the job.
The team ethos has evolved over those three years until he now feels like he has been able to really stamp his own style and beliefs on every member of the squad. To buck the trend and survive for such a long period in his first appointment shows what a brilliant job he is doing.
It's a fascinating vocation and one that can deliver extreme highs and lows. It seems that once it gets you it's hard to put it down.
A coach at the organisation, who the BBC revealed had been suspended since December, resigned last week following abuse allegations.
British Canoeing began an investigation in December but in April, after further allegations emerged, a second probe was launched with UK Sport.
Now they have jointly commissioned an independent investigation.
Just last week, British Canoeing said the resignation of the performance team coach "brings the disciplinary process to an end".
They said the second probe had been completed and a disciplinary hearing had begun, but it was abandoned when the coach resigned.
But now, in a joint statement, British Canoeing and UK Sport said: "In April 2017 several allegations were brought to the attention of British Canoeing, including a number of concerns about past failings of the organisation to deal appropriately with matters that had been raised previously.
"British Canoeing acknowledges the seriousness of these allegations and has agreed with UK Sport to jointly commission an independent investigation into these allegations.
"The panel will aim to provide a report for British Canoeing and UK Sport by the end of October 2017."
Team GB enjoyed its most successful Olympic Games in Brazil last year, with competitors winning two gold medals and two silvers.
Britain then claimed three gold and two bronze medals at the Rio Paralympics, where they topped the medal table.
April's revelations came amid mounting concern over the culture of high-performance programmes at British sports, and whether medal success has come at the expense of athlete welfare.
The Super League leaders fell behind to Benjamin Garcia's early score, but hit back through tries from Steve Michaels and Frank Pritchard.
Danny Houghton extended Hull FC's lead after the break but Fouad Yaha crossed in the corner to reduce the deficit.
Marc Sneyd's goal-kicking bolstered the advantage as Hull moved closer to their first Challenge Cup triumph since 2005.
Victory saw Hull join Wakefield and Warrington in Saturday's draw for the last four, after their respective wins on Thursday and Friday.
Catalans, the 2007 finalists, have never won the Challenge Cup and were deservedly beaten at the KCOM Stadium.
The French side took the lead through Garcia but, over the course of the match, lost the battle of the forwards in a bruising, physical encounter.
A fine 40-20 kick from Thomas Bosc led to Yaha's second-half try for Dragons but Sneyd's two second-half penalty goals helped make Hull's win safe.
Hull FC head coach Lee Radford told BBC Radio Humberside:
"The game didn't pan out like we expected but we defended fantastically and we're really pleased to still be in the draw.
"I say this all the time, to be the best you've got the beat the best, whether that is the Keepmoat, Langtree Park or wherever the semi-finals are going to be played."
Hull FC: Shaul; Michaels, Fonua, Yeaman, Talanoa; Tuimavave, Sneyd; Taylor, Houghton, Watts, Manu, Minichiello, Ellis.
Replacements: Green, Bowden, Pritchard, Washbrook.

He told French radio: "It is a termination of contract by mutual agreement after the changes at the head of the Guinea federation.
"There have been many changes since I arrived but I leave as a good friend."
Fifa last month appointed a committee to take over the running of the Guinea Football Federation (FGF).
It followed what world football's governing body described as "internal wrangles affecting the FGF that have halted all football competition in Guinea".
Guinea are three points behind leaders Zimbabwe in Group L of the qualifiers for the 2017 finals in Gabon with two rounds to be played.
An away win over Swaziland on 5 June would keep Guinea in the race to win the group as they finish the qualifiers with a home game against Zimbabwe in September.
Fernandez, a former France international, was appointed in April 2015 and tasked to help the team qualify for the 2017 African Nations Cup and the 2018 World Cup.
The Alex started brightly, and recalled forward George Cooper had a shot blocked by goalkeeper Glenn Morris before Jordan Bowery missed a sitter from six yards from Chris Dagnall's pass.
Morris parried a goalbound drive from Cooper and Crewe threatened again when Bowery put a deflected shot wide, after Zoumana Bakayogo had forced another save from Morris.
The visitors deservedly went ahead when James Jones fired in his eighth league goal of the season from the penalty spot, after Josh Lelan brought down Ben Nugent.
Morris had previously saved two successive penalties, but was sent the wrong way in the 36th minute.
Crewe got firmly on top by scoring twice in two minutes at the start of the second half, with goals from Bowery and Dagnall.
Bowery rifled his first goal for the club in the 51st minute from a pass by Cooper, and then Callum Cooke set up Dagnall for the striker to stroke home his 10th goal of the season in all competitions.
Striker Rhys Murphy carried most threat for below-par Crawley, forcing saves from Ben Garratt either side of the interval and striking the crossbar late on.

Griffiths had already scored from the penalty spot before being replaced after 63 minutes of Thursday's 5-0 win.
"I spoke to him this morning at length," said manager Rodgers. "He apologised sincerely for his reaction.
"But we draw a line under it now and we'll move on and he'll start and be ready for Hearts on Sunday."
Scotland international Griffiths has found himself second choice behind summer signing Moussa Dembele for much of the season.
But he has scored three times in four games since Dembele picked up an injury to take his total for the season to 17 from 40 appearances.
"It's been frustrating for him this season," said Rodgers. "He's had a multitude of injuries, sick, not able to train as much as he would like and then to see the team doing so well and him not maybe playing as much as he would like.
"If I'm sitting in his shoes, I understand the frustration and he probably thought he was brought off because he was playing bad and it was totally the opposite.
"I thought he was excellent last night.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Any time he has played, he's been excellent, but last night I wanted to ensure, as he's the only fit striker at the club, we protect him."
Immediately after the game, Rodgers said it had been a moment where Griffiths "thought about himself rather than the team".
While the manager was understanding of Griffiths' reaction, he pointed out on Friday that "at the same time, it's not something we tolerate either".
"It is very important that we are very much a collective and everything stays in-house," said Rodgers.
"The behaviour of the group and the mentality of the group is absolutely critical and it is a huge part of why we've had a very good season up until now.
"It was not the right reaction. It's not one that I expect or, more importantly, the rest of his team-mates expect, but I understand it and have empathy for him."
Rodgers also stressed that Griffiths' reaction had not endangered the former Hibernian and Wolves striker's future with the Scottish champions.
"He is a really good fella," the manager added. "He's a good boy and a massive part of what I'm doing here.
"This is a boy I've go a lot of time for. I want to give him time."
The FBU and London Fire Brigade met on Sunday in an effort to avert the strike and one set to start on Bonfire Night.
The FBU had previously left talks in the row over contracts, but the brigade maintained compromise was achievable.
Union members are due to strike from 1000 GMT on Monday and from 1000 GMT on 5 November to 0900 GMT on 7 November.
The strikes will involve about 5,500 firefighters and 111 fire stations.
FBU regional official Paul Embery said: "We are clearly extremely disappointed that the London Fire Brigade (LFB) representatives brought absolutely nothing new to the meeting today and all they did was reiterate their position held for several weeks.
"They point-blank refused to lift the threat to sack 5,500 firefighters and consequently the strike action planned for tomorrow and November 5 and 6 remains on."
Mr Embery said the union had called a further meeting for Tuesday, but the fire brigade was yet to commit to that.
LFB assistant commissioner David Brown said the brigade was "extremely disappointed" that the talks had broken down after four hours.
He said the brigade was "available for talks any time" in a bid to prevent the weekend strike.
He said: "We think it's reckless and completely irresponsible. There is no need to strike, we've been talking all day today about a variety of options.
"We invited the FBU for independent arbitration on two separate dates and they refused."
He added: "Obviously November 5 and 6 will be very challenging but we are confident the service provided to Londoners will be satisfactory to meet their needs."
Fire Minister Bob Neill said: "I hope these strikes are peaceful and we don't see a return to the strong-arm intimidation we saw during the last strikes.
"I urge the FBU to return the negotiating table. I am sure that this dispute can be resolved through reasoned and peaceful talks."
Cover will be provided during the strike by private firm AssetCo.
The company signed a £9m five-year deal with LFB last year to provide a contingency level of fire and rescue services if firefighters were not available because of pandemic illness, industrial action, natural disaster or a catastrophic incident.
The Markit/CIPS purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the sector rose to 49.2 in August, but stayed below the 50 level, which indicates contraction.
The index was up from July's figures of 45.9, its lowest for seven years.
However, the Brexit vote was still the main factor weighing on activity, the report said.
Tim Moore, senior economist at Markit, said: "Construction firms cited a nascent recovery in client confidence since the EU referendum result and a relatively steady flow of invitations to tender in August.
"However, the latest survey indicates only a partial move towards stabilisation, rather than a return to business as usual across the construction sector.
"There were still widespread reports that Brexit uncertainty had dampened demand and slowed progress on planned developments, especially in relation to large projects."
Ahmed: The economic bounce back
David Noble, group chief executive at the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply, added that the weak pound had pushed up purchasing costs for the sector "at a rate not seen for half a decade".
"Firms reduced their purchasing volumes as a result, as new orders and activity continued to fall - though at a more moderate rate compared to last month," he added.
Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist with Pantheon Macroeconomics, said that "construction will continue to struggle until business confidence improves".
He said the downturn in construction "looks likely to continue for several quarters to come" due to protracted Brexit negotiations and long lead times for any major public sector projects arising from investments announced in the Autumn Statement.
Official figures last month showed the industry had fallen back into recession for the first time in four years.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said construction output dropped by 0.7% in the second quarter, following a 0.3% fall in the first quarter, meaning the industry recorded two consecutive quarters of negative growth for the first time since 2012.
Markit's construction figures come ahead of its PMI for the UK's dominant service sector due out on Monday.
Vadim Bezkorovainiy, 35, carried out three reconnaissance missions to the embassy from his home in Luton in 2014, prosecutors said.
He was "radicalised" in eastern Europe during a period of escalating tension between Russia and his homeland in 2012 and 2013, the Old Bailey heard.
The father-of two denies engaging in preparations to commit acts of terror.
The alleged terror plot was revealed in March last year when Mr Bezkorovainiy's home in Old Bedford Road was raided by police who suspected him of using false identity documents, the jury heard.
Among the items recovered were handwritten notes the prosecution claims were drafts of a speech he planned to make at a press conference in the aftermath of the planned attack on the Embassy of the Russian Federation.
Jurors were told one of the notes read: "Being under the constant cover and surveillance by Scotland Yard, the Russian embassy in London did not manage to avoid destruction... Security ended up powerless.
"Now one (sic) can imagine what will happen to Moscow, St Petersburg, the regional centres, if we redeploy fighters who are simply going to smash everything around them."
Prosecutor Robin Sellars said in the days leading up to his arrest Mr Bezkorovainiy was overheard talking to his nine-year-old daughter about using guns, setting the neighbour's garden on fire and bomb-making.
A laptop found at his home also revealed searches for explosives and a memory card showed images of embassy buildings that were partially obscured as though the photos had been taken covertly, the court heard.
The defendant had returned to Ukraine between September 2012 and January 2013 to "potentially fight in the tensions" in the region and it was during this time he became radicalised, the jury was told.
Mr Sellars said: "His exposure to the tensions in that region first-hand had the effect of radicalising Mr Bezkorovainiy to the extent that he decided to take matters into his own hands once back in the UK."
The trial continues.
Since Westley, 48, took charge in October the Exiles' form has improved.
Newport are eight points off the play-off places, but Westley has issued his players with an ambitious challenge.
"We can look at sixth place and think two or three weeks down the line it's realistic we can put ourselves in contention," said Westley.
"That will be a nice starting point. If we can get to Christmas time and we are in the mix, that's a nice point to be at.
"I've won promotion out of this league from 18th in January, so we all know what's possible."
The Exiles are unbeaten in their last six games, a sequence that has seen them beat AFC Wimbledon in the Checkatrade Trophy and progress to the second round of the FA Cup after a replay against Alfreton.
In the league there has been a draw with Barnet, victory over Accrington Stanley and an impressive three points taken from Carlisle, who were unbeaten at the time.
But, with his sights set so high and a trip to eighth-placed Notts County coming on Saturday, Westley insists keeping the current run going will not be enough to satisfy him.
"We want to improve what we are doing, that's the key," he added.
"If you get into the frame of mind where you want to keep things going, you've lost the plot and are on the road backwards. The route forward has to be improvement.
"We've got a lot of work to do, we don't underestimate it, right now we are producing decent form, but we have to produce that form on a sustained basis if we are going to mount any sort of campaign."
The word "petrel" has been painted in 3ft high letters on the approach to the pumps at the Sainsbury's Edenthorpe store in Doncaster.
A picture of the blunder was posted on social media with the comment "Seabirds straight ahead #YouHadOneJob".
In a light-hearted response, the superstore said: "We're aware of this and correcting the misteke."
The white letters, which may have left drivers thinking they were being pointed towards a species of small seabird, were painted by bungling signwriters next to the flawlessly spelt word "exit" and some perfectly drawn arrows.
It prompted a flurry of social media users mocking the blooper, with some employing their own deliberate spelling errors.
Aaron Jones tweeted: "Only in Doncaster would you go for 'Petrel' instead of 'Petrol'."
While Martin Milan posted: "@sainsburys Your Edenthorpe, Doncaster store... What if I want Deesul lol?"
Petrels are small seabirds that fly low over oceans and seas.
The Economy Ministry said industrial production was up 1.9% in July, lifted by an increase in manufacturing and construction output.
It is a big improvement from June when industrial production rose just 0.4%.
It is another piece of strong data from Germany. On Thursday data showed that industrial orders rose at the strongest rate in the more than a year in July.
However last month the ministry released figures to show the economy shrank by 0.2% in the second quarter.
In an effort to avoid further stagnation in Europe, on Thursday the European Central Bank announced a surprise cut in interest rates.
It also launched a programme to buy private sector debt to stimulate lending.
Lyudmila Putin had long shunned the limelight, and in the last few years her public appearances had become increasingly rare. Before the joint TV appearance at which the couple announced that their marriage was over, Mrs Putin was last seen at her husband's side on Russian television when she attended his inauguration as president in May 2012.
Invisible "first ladies" were the norm during the Soviet era, when secretive leaders preferred to keep their wives and families out of sight.
The phenomenon of Raisa Gorbachev appeared to represent a break with this tradition. At a time when her husband was breaking the mould of Soviet politics, the impeccably dressed and eloquent Raisa was overturning notions of how a typical Soviet first lady should look and behave.
However, though Raisa quickly became the darling of the Western media, she was disliked by many back home - for exactly the qualities which made her popular abroad. In fancy, bespoke outfits and often in the media spotlight, Raisa's image contrasted with the tough reality of her crumbling communist country.
Naina Yeltsin, the wife of Russia's first post-Soviet president, was less flamboyant than her predecessor, but still had a distinctive image and voice.
But with the dawning of the Putin era in Russian politics, there appears to have been a return to the camera-shy image of presidential wives in the Slavic-majority states.
Lyudmila Putin's low profile was in marked contrast to the global role played by her husband as president of Russia.
She did recently feature on the cover of a glossy magazine. But the three-times first lady was seen in public so rarely that her appearance at an awards ceremony in late March - her first since last year's inauguration ceremony - caused quite a stir in the Russian media.
One Russian independent journalist, Mikhail Fishman, went so far as to say that Mrs Putin's presence "equals zero". He suggested that having a family can help a ruler to be seen as open and down-to-earth, but that President Putin, an "authoritarian monarch", prefers to be viewed as aloof and God-like.
What about other post-Soviet first-ladies?
Ukraine's Lyudmila Yanukovych - wife of the president - is almost as invisible.
Reports say the first lady is living as a recluse in Donetsk, the stronghold of her husband's party, making rare appearances at regional events, and is almost never seen in Kiev.
Even before Viktor Yanukovych was elected president in 2010, she had vanished from the public eye.
Her most memorable public speech was made at a rally during the Orange Revolution in 2004, when her husband, the then prime minister, was vying for the presidential job.
Her beret awry and language clumsy, she accused the rival pro-Western camp of supplying their supporters with US-made felt boots and drug-laced oranges. The remarks were so extreme that they are still remembered, and ridiculed, almost a decade on.
The embarrassment caused by that speech is the likely reason for her disappearance, suggests a prominent Ukrainian journalist, Sergei Leshchenko.
He adds that the "first lady" concept - a feature of US politics - has not taken root in the former Soviet republics, because most of their leaders were born and raised in the USSR and share its mindset.
Belarusian expert Valeriy Karbalevich says the Soviet tradition of "not putting the wives of leaders on display" is deeply rooted in the public consciousness.
In Belarus, ruled in authoritarian Soviet-era style, there is no first lady. President Alexander Lukashenko has in recent years been accompanied even at official ceremonies by his young son Nikolai.
The boy attended his father's inauguration and accompanied him on numerous foreign visits, most recently to Venezuela to pay last respects to the country's populist leader, the late Hugo Chavez.
The fair-haired and neatly attired Nikolai, never uttering a word by his father's side, could almost be seen as a replacement for the first lady.
Mr Lukashenko is now often seen in the company of women much younger than himself, opposition websites claim.
Paradoxically the first ladies in Central Asia, a region considered patriarchal and conservative, enjoy rather more prominence.
Tatyana Karimova of Uzbekistan is eclipsed by her controversial, jet-setting elder daughter Gulnara in the media. But Tatyana engages in what is presented as charity work, and accompanies her husband, President Islam Karimov, on visits.
President Karimov holds Uzbekistan in an iron grip, smothering any dissent, and this publicity for his family serves to underline their clan power.
In neighbouring Kazakhstan first lady Sara Nazarbayeva, according to her official biography, has for many years been overseeing several charitable projects and is the author of six books.
Azerbaijan's Mehriban Aliyeva, a dazzling fashionista, is arguably the most prominent among the eastern first ladies. With her hand in a variety of cultural and "charitable" programmes she has arguably overshadowed her husband, President Ilham Aliyev.
But the ruling family's image is carefully managed and human rights groups accuse the authorities of stifling democracy and jailing dissidents. Azerbaijan also gets a poor rating in the corruption index compiled by Transparency International.
Trained as a doctor and now an MP, Mrs Aliyeva is active in the ruling New Azerbaijan Party. A few years ago, there was much talk that she could succeed her spouse in 2013, but the speculation has now subsided.
Wikileaks cables have revealed the first lady in a less flattering light, as seen by Western journalists. But with the media in her country tightly controlled, Mrs Aliyeva can still enjoy a high profile unperturbed, whatever the allegations swirling around her.

Cricketers batted and bowled through the night, attempting 2,000 overs in 24 hours.
The record attempt is set to end at 18:00 BST, but Alex Riddell said the club had smashed the target by 11:30 BST with more than 2,500 overs.
Mr Riddell said he bowled the 2,000th at 06:50.
The attempt - part of the club's annual open weekend to raise funds for Rodley's junior cricket teams - is being filmed and logged by official umpires but will need verifying by Guinness World Record officials.
Mr Riddell, who played on and off for 11 hours, said: "We bowled like maniacs overnight and we beat 2,000.
"I bowled the 2,000th over at 06:50 and then went to sleep on the sofa for an hour and a half.
"I'm really, really pleased but really, really tired."
Other players put in straight eight-hour stints.
Last year, the club successfully set the Guinness World Record for most overs bowled in eight hours, with a result of 734.
Mr Riddell said: "We love a challenge. After smashing last year's amazing world record we thought: 'How can we top that this year?' The answer was obvious - go bigger and better!"
Steve Bradbury, chairman of the Bradford and District League club, said: "It's amazing that we could be double Guinness World Record holders.
"Until three years ago we had no clubhouse, 30 players and no junior teams.
"Now we're proud to have a cracking clubhouse, three senior teams and five junior sides with over 80 kids playing cricket regularly."
Prolific winger Charnley is switching codes and will link up with Premiership rugby union side Sale Sharks after helping the Warriors to their fourth Super League title.
"When I said I was leaving, I told them that I wanted some silverware. To finish like this is a dream come true," said the 25-year-old England international after a 12-6 win over the Wolves.
"I just wanted to be part of a winning team. It's going to make it miles harder to leave. I've got a few days with the lads and then I've got to get my thinking boots on and try to learn a new code.
"I'm leaving this family of brothers behind and I'll still go down to watch them when I can."
Charnley's 165th try in cherry and white was set up by a kick from Dan Sarginson - another player who is leaving the Warriors for pastures new.
Versatile Sarginson, who appeared at full-back in the Grand Final, will play for Gold Coast Titans in Australia's National Rugby League in 2017.
"I can't praise 'Sarge' enough," said his Wigan team-mate John Bateman. "We'll miss him so much next year.
"He'll kill it over there and he deserves everything that he's got. We both signed together and it's so good to see how much he's progressed."

Numerous injuries that have robbed Wigan of several key players during 2016.
Influential hooker Michael McIlorum broke his ankle playing in the World Club Series in February and was ruled out for the season.
A virus swept through the squad in April and an inexperienced side lost 62-0 at Wakefield.
England full-back Sam Tomkins did not feature until May on his return to Wigan after two seasons in the NRL and a foot injury kept him out of the season's climax. His brother, Joel, was missing from July onwards with a knee problem.
There are plenty of other injury tales to tell. Each week, it appeared that head coach Shaun Wane had a new issue to contend with.
He was able to call upon captain Sean O'Loughlin at Old Trafford, although the England skipper's involvement after a two-month absence was not guaranteed until the day before the Grand Final.
"I'd given up on it a few weeks ago," admitted the 33-year-old forward, who has now captained three Wigan sides to Grand Final victories.
"The conditioner and the physio worked so hard on me to get me onto the pitch, but it wasn't about me.
"It was about what the team had been through all season. We haven't fielded our strongest 17 all year."
Man of the match Liam Farrell added: "When you've got a person like Sean O'Loughlin putting his hand up and saying he's fit to play, how can you turn him down?
"The things he's done over the years have been pretty outstanding. He's always going to turn up and he turned up for us again on Saturday."
Warrington have lost three Grand Finals in five seasons and their defeat by Wigan was their second in a major final in 2016.
The Wolves led in the second half of the Challenge Cup final in August but failed to close out the match against Hull FC, and a similar story was played out against the Warriors.
Tony Smith's side could have ended the campaign as treble winners had events transpired differently at Wembley and Old Trafford. Instead, they must be content with just one trophy - the League Leaders' Shield for finishing top of the Super League table after 30 games.
Full-back Stefan Ratchford said: "If you ask me now, I'm going to say we're really disappointed because we've just lost a Grand Final and we're devastated with that.
"But give it a couple of days and we'll look back - there's been one team that's been in both finals and won the League Leaders' Shield. That's something that we can be really proud of.
"We feel we've come really far as a group this year. The squad's developed and when we reflect we can say it's a pretty successful year for us."
Warrington have not been domestic champions since 1955 and their wait for a league title will go into its 62nd year following Saturday's loss.
Looking ahead to 2017, Ratchford added: "We're quite a young squad. A couple of players will leave and there will be a couple coming in, but there won't be wholesale changes.
"Tasting defeat in two finals is only going to spur us on to having a big pre-season and hopefully going one better next year."

The men died when a 15ft wall of concrete and scrap metal fell on them as they worked on Thursday at Hawkeswood Metal in Nechells.
The editor of the Birmingham Mail, which started the fund, said the response had been "overwhelming".
Police said the site remains closed and post mortem examinations would take place on Monday.
Donations have been flooding in from across the country for the men, who were Spanish citizens originally from Gambia.
All the bodies were recovered from the rubble by Friday.
Mr Reeves said: "No money can ever fill the void left by a loved one, especially in a tragedy of this sort.
"But at least if the families are freed from the concerns of paying for funerals, travel for family members, and all the other immediate financial worries that get in the way of grieving, then it is worthwhile to raise some money to help.
"The response is overwhelming, and as well as the financial support, we hope this sends a message to the families that Birmingham cares about them and feels their pain."
The men have been named locally as Bangaly Dukureh, Ousman Jabbie, Alimamo Jammeh, Mohammed Jangana and Saibo Sillah. All are believed to married with children.
Relatives have said they want the bodies recovered for burial as soon as possible, in accordance with Muslim custom.
A sixth man, who escaped with a broken leg, is also a Spanish citizen of Gambian heritage.
Detectives have said they have a "reasonable idea" about what happened.
Hawkeswood Metal Recycling Ltd, which employs about 50 people, was established more than 40 years ago and says it deals with more than 500,000 tonnes of scrap metal each year at its Nechells site.
In 2012 it was fined £50,000 when a worker got his arm trapped in machinery. It also pleaded guilty at Birmingham Crown Court to a breach of health and safety law.
The plant was also the scene of a major fire in February this year, as 700 tonnes of scrap metal went up in flames.

The centre-right opposition leader called for any foreign nationals with links to radical Islam to be expelled from France.
More than 80 people died when an attacker ploughed a lorry into people celebrating Bastille Day on Thursday.
Eighty-five people remain in hospital, 18 of them in critical condition.
Many survivors are still waiting for news of their loved ones. Only 35 bodies have so far been officially identified.
Prosecutors say painstaking measures are needed to avoid errors of identification.
Speaking to French television, Mr Sarkozy said "Democracy must not be weak, nor simply commemorate. Democracy must say 'We will win the war'."
He said he supported stronger measures like expulsion of radicalised Muslims, and electronic tagging for those at risk of radicalisation.
France's government has said it is at war with violent jihadists.
But a third major attack in 18 months has led to criticism of the country's leaders.
There is no indication that the Nice attacker, Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, was a jidhadist.
Neighbours have described him as a violent loner who liked to drink, lift weights and go salsa dancing.
But France's Prime Minister Manuel Valls has suggested he may have been radicalised too quickly to trigger the authorities' attention.
He was shot dead by police when his vehicle's path along the Promenade des Anglais was eventually halted.
French media reported that he researched the route in the days before the attack.
The reports say Lahouaiej-Bouhlel drove through the seafront promenade area of the French city on Tuesday and Wednesday in preparation.
Europe 1 radio said CCTV footage from the days beforehand showed him driving through the area in the lorry, closely observing the scene.
Tunisian security sources have told the BBC he visited Tunisia frequently, most recently eight months ago.
So-called Islamic State said the attacker was acting in response to its calls to target civilians in countries that are part of the anti-IS coalition.
An impressive air of normality in much of tourist-packed Nice is deceptive. As well as grief, bewilderment hangs in the sea air.
There are tears, hugs and silence at the mountain of candles, flowers and cuddly toys on the beach promenade, where joggers stop and parents bring young children to read the messages.
A large white banner says: Why children? And, in a child's handwriting: Why do you want war?
The bloodstains on the tarmac are gradually disappearing. The lampposts the lorry smashed into will be replaced.
But for those who knew or loved the victims, things will never be the same. More armed police and soldiers guarding the streets will serve as a reminder.
Amid the fear and sadness, and the unanswerable questions, defiance acts as a source of comfort.
He will never defeat us, says one message on the promenade. Another reads: Love defeats hate.
Six people are being held in connection with the killings.
The latest arrests, of an Albanian couple who have not been identified, were on Sunday morning, French judicial sources said.
Lahouaiej-Bouhlel's estranged wife, who was detained on Friday, was released on Sunday.
Gatland, 52, says he will step down after the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.
Newport Gwent Dragons head coach Jones believes Wales backs coach Rob Howley or Wasps director of rugby Dai Young could step up.
"We've got to develop our own coaches," Jones said.
Ex-Wales scrum-half Howley was caretaker coach in 2012-13 after Gatland suffered two broken heels and as well as concentrating on his role with the British and Irish Lions.
Young left Cardiff Blues to join Wasps in June 2011 and has spoken of his ambition to coach at international level, having coached the Barbarians.
"Rob is someone who would have learnt a lot working with Warren and might be someone who could step into that breach," Jones added.
"David Young at Wasps is doing a good job and I'm sure he'll continue to prosper.
"It could be nice to think that one day a Welshman could coach the Welsh team."
Gatland, the third New Zealander after Sir Graham Henry and Steve Hansen to coach Wales, succeeded Gareth Jenkins in December 2007.
The former Ireland and Wasps boss has led his team to two Grand Slams and become the longest-serving coach in their history.
Former Russia head coach Jones says Gatland will go down as Wales' best coach of the professional era.
"He's been hugely successful in his time here and he'll want to finish on a high point," Jones said.
"I think coaches have a shelf life and he's done remarkably well which has allowed him to stay in the job so long."
Police were called to the Castlerock Road shortly after 22:00 BST on Sunday.
The victim was taken to hospital for treatment to a serious head wound.
Police are investigating reports that up to 15 people were involved in the brawl and have appealed for anyone who witnessed the fight to contact them.
Chambers steered the Royals to survival in the top tier despite winning just once all season.
"I don't think our performances from start to finish this season warranted what we got in terms of results," Chambers told BBC Radio Berkshire.
"The step up from WSL 2 to WSL 1 we've noticed has been massive."
Chambers' busy season including giving birth to her daughter in July as well as combining the roles of first team manager and general manager at one stage of the campaign.
"It's all new to me and it's been a learning curve during the season," Chambers said. "There have been sleepless nights at times picking teams.
"But, securing WSL 1 status until 2018 is huge for the club.
"For probably 95% of the squad, who haven't been involved in full-time professional football before, overnight they've had to transition and come out of full-time jobs.
"One of my regrets this season is probably not doing more off-field stuff with the girls to teach them about life in professional football."
Reading have already begun building for next season with the arrival of Netherlands captain Mandy van den Berg from Liverpool to strengthen their defence.
"Mandy will add to our young squad in many different ways," Chambers added. "She will fit right in with our style of play, I'm looking forward to working with her".
Robbers fled empty-handed after the raid on the store in Donington in Lincolnshire in the early hours of Thursday.
CCTV footage showed a digger repeatedly being driven into the front of the store until part of the building collapsed.
Police said the offenders then fled in a flat bed vehicle and dark blue car.

The Co-op's area manager Simon Taylor said the pop-up shop will operate from a neighbouring pub car park.
He said it would stock a limited range of about 150 items to provide a service while repairs take place. It will open later.
No timescale for the work has been announced, but Mr Taylor said the rear of the building was not as bad as it looks at the front.
The state authorities say more than 600 people from the Lou Nuer community were killed, 200 children abducted, and as many as 25,000 cows were stolen.
The attackers - from the Murle ethnic group - were responding to a June assault by Lou Nuer fighters in which an estimated 400 Murle were killed.
This cycle of revenge attacks stretches back decades, and now represents one of the greatest challenges to stability in newly independent South Sudan - and one the fledgling state so far seems unable to deal with.
"They came from over there," Kuol Bol explains, pointing to the lush green countryside on the edge of the small town of Pieri.
"They attacked when we were sleeping, but I was able to run away. A lot of people were killed, and they took many children.
"Two of my nephews were killed during that attack by the Murle. What I know is that I want to take revenge for that attack. I will do what I will do."
You could have almost the same conversation with Murle survivors of Lou Nuer attacks, or with the Jikany Nuer or Dinka who have also been involved in clashes in Jonglei state in recent times.
The pattern of inter-ethnic fighting fuelled by cattle raids can be found elsewhere in South Sudan too, though the situation is particularly bad in Jonglei.
South Sudan's new government has urged action, and the army is sending reinforcements into the area, as are the UN peacekeepers.
Cattle raiding is not new in this part of the world. In many South Sudanese communities the cow is incredibly important.
It is a source of personal wealth, and young men cannot get married without paying a dowry of cows.
So, in what are very poor communities, cattle raiding has become a way of life for some.
To make matters worse, automatic weapons are everywhere, following decades of civil war.
In the past, cattle raids caused relatively few casualties. Now the guns boom, and scores or even hundreds die in a day - creating a commensurate desire for revenge.
So what can be done to stop the bloodshed?
So far the security forces have shown little ability to keep the peace.
"It will be good when the government provides security in the area, but for now I don't know what they are doing. There is no protection," says Gatluak Kony, a Lou Nuer chief, who narrowly escaped being killed in Pieri.

There are more armed civilians than police or soldiers in Jonglei, even with the latest reinforcements.
The lack of good roads means it is very difficult to speed the security forces to hotspots.
Not everybody trusts the army either.
It would certainly be denied by the South Sudanese army, but some outside observers believe it does not see much benefit in intervening in a messy inter-ethnic conflict between civilians.
The risk, the argument goes, is this could fracture the army along ethnic lines.
The leader of the opposition in parliament, Onyoti Adigo, told the BBC the military should send reinforcements from ethnic groups not present in Jonglei.
He also believes not enough is being done.
"The problem of Jonglei is not new," he says. "The whole thing is negligence from the government, because the work of the government is to ensure the safety of its citizens and their properties."
Information Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin represents the area which recently came under attack and accepts progress needs to be made on several fronts.
"It is not just in Jonglei state, we have seen it in Unity state, we have seen it in Warrup, we have seen it in Lakes.
"So to us as a government, we are really serious that this should come to an end."
The government's plan involves the comprehensive disarmament of civilians, reconciliation using traditional and religious leaders, and developing infrastructures including building "security roads" and providing better services.
But all that takes time, and is easier said than done.
For the moment, an estimated 25,000 Lou Nuer have fled the fighting.
Some of them are gathered in the small town of Mutot.
Stripped of their cows and with their homes destroyed, they are now dependent on handouts and local kindness.
"The conditions are not good and my people are not comfortable," local chief Michael Bang complains.
"We have nowhere to sleep and nothing to eat."
It is little surprise that in these conditions of hardship and loss, there are already rumours that the next revenge attack is being prepared.
South Sudan has been independent for less than two months, and the joy of that moment is still fresh.
But in Jonglei state and all over the country people will have to be disarmed, and the security forces professionalised, if this deadly cycle of revenge attacks is to be broken.
The former AFC Wimbledon striker opened his account in just the fourth minute with a well-timed header from a Joe Jacobson free-kick to set the tone.
Wycombe looked the stronger of the two sides throughout the first half, creating a number of chances, but failed to add to their tally and they were to pay for their wastefulness.
The visitors started like an express train after the break, with Sean McConville firing home the equaliser just minutes after the restart.
Both sides fought valiantly in the second half, showing both attacking flair and defensive solidity.
The best chance to win it fell to Sam Wood, who slammed a 30-yard volley against the crossbar with Stanley keeper Aaron Chapman beaten.
The game closed with multiple chances for both teams but the goalkeepers were found to be in excellent form and were instrumental in keeping the scoreline down.

Liverpool are nine points off league leaders Chelsea and have lost their last two Champions League group games.
Meulensteen, first-team coach at Manchester United for five years, says Rodgers has made mistakes.
"Brendan Rodgers's biggest failure is that he's not invested in his staff," Meulensteen told BBC Radio 5 live.
Meulensteen, 50, was a key member of Sir Alex Ferguson's backroom team at Old Trafford.
He helped United win three Premier League titles, one Champions League, two League Cups and one Club World Cup while first-team coach between 2008-13.
The Dutchman, who was in charge of Fulham for just two months before he was replaced in February, believes Rodgers should have strengthened his backroom team after the Reds secured a Champions League return after finishing second in the Premier League last season.
Colin Pascoe is Rodgers's assistant while Mike Marsh is first-team coach.
Meulensteen said Rodgers should have appointed someone with Champions League experience before the start of the season.
"He has got there because of his philosophy and I rate him for that," he added.

"He has obviously got people around him who he obviously thinks are the right ones.
"But I think he could have done with someone who has been there, seen it and done it.
"Playing in the Premier League and the Champions League, it's a different rhythm that requires a different style of training and a different management strategy through the week. You need to know these things."
Former striker Robbie Fowler, who scored 171 goals in 330 games for Liverpool, told BBC Radio 5 live: "In Brendan's eyes he has the right people at the club.
"Brendan is comfortable with his staff. He has Mike Marsh, who was brought up at Liverpool and knows everything about the club.
"And he has Colin Pascoe, who he has worked with for years. He's comfortable with them."
Meanwhile, Fowler wants midfielder Steven Gerrard to see out his playing career at Anfield.
Skipper Gerrard, 34, said he could join another club next summer if Liverpool do not offer him a new contract.
"Speaking from a selfish point of view, I love Steven Gerrard and I'd love him to stay at Liverpool," said Fowler.
"It's like Ryan Giggs at Manchester United - players come into the club and are instantly lifted by seeing Gerrard.
"He might not be as good as he used to be but he's still a class act.
"The common consensus is that he will go abroad if he did leave Anfield, but if he did become available I think clubs in the Premier League would want him. He's still that good a player."
Rouse, 24, joined Kent in January 2016 after Ryan Davies move to Somerset.
He struck an unbeaten 95 against Derbyshire, a career-best first-class score, and has 13 catches in three County Championship games this season.
"I'm enjoying my role right now and with Sam Billings away it's given me a nice opportunity to figure out my game and develop as a player," he said.
Rouse played previously for Hampshire and Gloucestershire before moving to Kent on a temporary contract in 2015.
The former England Under-19 international has now established himself as Kent's first-choice keeper, with Billings out of action because of commitments with the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League.
"He's kept brilliantly and scored some vital runs since he joined the club," said head coach Matt Walker.
"There's a lot more to come from him and with Sam Billings away on England duty, he will play a lot of cricket."
His injury meant his brain could not "talk" to his hand, meaning all control was lost.
Surgeons at the Washington University School of Medicine re-wired his nerves to build a new route between hand and brain.
He can now feed himself and can just about write.
The 71-year-old man was involved in a car accident in June 2008. His spinal cord was damaged at the base of the neck and he was unable to walk.
While he could still move his arms, he had lost the ability to pinch or grip with either of his hands.
The nerves in the hand were not damaged, they had just lost the signal from the brain which told them what to do.
However, the brain could still give instructions to the upper arm.
The operation,
described in the Journal of Neurosurgery
, rewired the nerves in the arm to build a new route from brain to hand. One of the nerves leading to a muscle was taken and attached to the anterior interosseous nerve, which goes to the hand.
Ida Fox, an assistant professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Washington University, told the BBC: "The circuit [in the hand] is intact, but no longer connected to the brain.
"What we do is take that circuit and restore the connection to the brain."
She said it was a "really novel" and "refreshingly resourceful" way of restoring movement. However, she warned this would never restore normal function. "That isn't going to happen," she said.
The surgery is not an overnight miracle. It takes intensive training to regain control of the hand. Nerves that used to bend the elbow are now making pinching movements.
After eight months, he was able to move his thumb, index and middle fingers. He can now feed himself and has "rudimentary writing".
With more physiotherapy, doctors expect his movement will continue to improve.
Dr Mark Bacon, the director of research at the charity Spinal Research, told the BBC: "One of the issues with techniques such as this is the permanence of the outcome - once done it is hard to reverse.
"There is an inevitable sacrifice of some healthy function above the injury in order to provide more useful function below.
"This may be entirely acceptable when we are ultimately talking about providing function that leads to a greater quality of life.
"For the limited number of patients that may benefit from this technique this may be seen as a small price to pay."
The technique would work only for patients that have very specific injuries to the spinal cord at the bottom of the neck. If the injury was any higher then there would be no nerve function in the arms to harness. If it was any lower then patients should still be able to move their hands.
Highland Council wants to close Edinbane, Dunvegan, Knockbreck and Struan primaries and construct a new school at Dunvegan on Skye.
Scottish ministers called in the proposal in May for consideration by a school closure review panel.
The panel said the council had not fulfilled its legal obligations.
Highland Council said it was disappointed by last month's decision. It was given 14 days to lodge an appeal.
The council argues there will be educational and community benefits as well as cost savings.
However, some parents objected, saying their children faced lengthy journeys to and from school.
Highland Council has lodged a summary application at Portree Sheriff Court seeking an appeal against the School Closure Review Panel's decision to refuse consent for a new community school in Dunvegan.
Drew Millar, chairman of the local authority's education, children and adult services committee, said: "The council believes that the panel has erred in its decision, which currently prevents us proceeding with the intended investment of up to £10m in a new community school.
"In pursuing this appeal the council believes it is in the best interests of the community, to provide new, state of the art facilities that will deliver first class, sustainable education into the future."
More than 7,000 calls were made to the local authority in 2015, compared with 5,374 in 2013.
Liverpool City Council cut its 2014-15 pest control budget by £213,597 and plans a further £745,809 cut by 2017.
But, Councillor Steve Munby said the rise in the number of calls was not "primarily to do with reductions in the number of people in pest control".
"It is a problem we have to try and manage," he told the BBC's Inside Out North West programme.
The latest figures do not include calls to private pest control services, so the true number is likely to be considerably higher.
Merseyside was identified as a leading "pest hotspot" in 2014 by the British Pest Control Association, with Liverpool second only to Birmingham in terms of rat call-outs.
The association has warned government spending cuts could spark "an explosion" in the pest population.
Adam Hawley, chairman of the National Pest Technicians' Association, said the government's austerity measures have "had a huge impact on environmental departments".
"Pest control services have been done away with or reduced down to an absolute minimum," he added.
"Staff can only try and do their best... so the service they provide may not be as good as they want to provide because they simply can't afford to do it."
But Mr Munby, Liverpool council's cabinet member for neighbourhoods, said the rise was "more likely to be to do with other changes in the city".
"We've got one of the highest proportions of terraced properties in the country," he added. "There's a lot of building work gone on... so that creates problems."
Also, "new businesses... a growing student population and the growth in takeaways" tend to create "environmental problems which in turn encourage a rodent population".
"It's a problem that doesn't go away and you can't ever take your eye off. I'm not the Pied Piper of Hamelin - I can't lead all the rodents out of town by playing on the flute - I wish I could."

With most universities charging £9,000 a year, the Welsh government pays around £5,000 for each student from Wales wherever they study in the UK.
Welsh universities want to see means-tested maintenance grants instead.
The Conservatives have promised a hardship fund, while Plaid Cymru said only Welsh institutions should benefit.
Students at a publicly-funded university or college in the UK can be charged a maximum of £9,000 a year in tuition fees.
All students from Wales can apply for a tuition fee grant of up to £5,190 from the Welsh government which does not depend on their household income. If the fees are higher, loans are available to cover the rest.
For living expenses, means-tested grants of £5,161 a year are also available to students whose household income is below £18,370. Smaller amounts are available on a sliding scale until income reaches £50,020. Loans are available to all regardless of income.
Prof Colin Riordan, chairman of Universities Wales, said on Monday that ministers faced difficult choices, but universities wanted them to give more priority to poorer students.
He said offering means-tested maintenance grants for Welsh students from foundation through to postgraduate level would "give many more talented people the opportunity to transform their life chances through going to university".
Nick Ramsay, the Welsh Conservatives' shadow finance minister, told BBC Radio Wales his party wanted to focus support on students who "really need it".
"Tuition fees aren't actually repaid until you reach a certain threshold of income," he said.
"There are many pupils in Wales at the moment who are finding it difficult with their living costs as well."
Mr Ramsey said the Tories had not yet decided if they would offer grants to students from Wales going to university elsewhere in the UK.
Plaid Cymru education spokesman Simon Thomas told BBC Radio Wales that £90m a year going to English universities in tuition fee subsidies was an "inappropriate" use of Welsh public money.
Unless it was for courses not available in Wales - such as veterinary science - he said people should not be subsidised to choose an English university for "convenience".
He said he expected the ongoing Diamond review of student finance in Wales to show that "Chester is taking a huge wodge of Welsh government money for students that could easily be studying at Glyndwr University in Wrexham just five or six miles away".
Universities Wales has launched its manifesto for the 2016 Assembly Election, saying the current policy of subsidising the tuition fees of Welsh domiciled students introduced by the Labour/Plaid coalition is "unsustainable".
Aled Roberts, Welsh Lib Dem education spokesman, said they would replace the tuition fee grant with maintenance grants for students and more direct help for cash-strapped universities.
He said the policy introduced by the Labour/Plaid coalition government in 2010, had "left Welsh universities drained of cash" with money "following students over Offa's Dyke".
A UKIP spokesman said the party had "always advocated cutting if not scrapping university tuition fees where fiscally possible".
The Welsh government has described its tuition fee policy as "an investment in young people", and said the Diamond review would inform policy for the future.
Scottish students get free tuition at Scottish universities, along with students from any other EU country, except for those from the rest of the UK, who have to pay.
Scottish students going to university elsewhere have to pay tuition fees but can apply for loans of up to £9,000 a year.
Northern Irish students pay tuition fees of up to £3,805 a year to study in Northern Ireland, and up to £9,000 elsewhere in the UK. Loans are available to pay these fees, but no grants.
Students from England have to pay tuition fees at any UK university but can apply for loans of up to £9,000 a year.

David Willey and Steven Patterson claimed a wicket each as Surrey were reduced to 36-2 after winning the toss.
Ansari (35*) and Finch (34*) collected 13 boundaries between them as they added 59 to take the score to 95-2.
Defending champions Yorkshire began the match in fifth place, 15 points behind leaders Middlesex, with Surrey next to bottom and 17 points adrift of seventh-placed Notts.
The visitors named an unusual XI, with only four specialist batsmen and five all-rounders, including Willey, who was playing his first Championship game since the reverse fixture at Headingley in early May.
He made the initial breakthrough by trapping Rory Burns lbw in the eighth over and wicketkeeper Andrew Hodd then took a superb diving catch to remove Dominic Sibley.
Finch, playing against his former county, marked his arrival with some thoroughbred strokes, and Ansari lost little by comparison as they steadied the innings before the weather closed in and play was abandoned for the day at 17:00 BST.

Club and international matches at the Belfast stadium could be in doubt after the West Stand was sealed off.
Cracks in its structure were spotted on Tuesday. The IFA says it is waiting for a report from engineers.
The Irish Cup final on 2 May and Northern Ireland's Euro 2016 qualifier with Romania on 13 June are scheduled.
Gary McAllister of the Amalgamation of Northern Ireland Supporters Clubs said the IFA had three options for the Romania match if the stand had to be shut down:
He said this was all "hypothetical" until the IFA announced the findings of its structural inspection.
Building work behind the stand has been ongoing in recent weeks as part of the redevelopment of the area around Windsor Park, but it is not known if this is directly related.
The stand was filled to capacity with Northern Ireland fans on Sunday for the Euro 2016 qualifier victory over Finland.
Linfield and Crusaders are scheduled to meet at Windsor Park on Saturday in a top-of-the-table Irish Premiership match.
"The Irish FA (IFA) became aware on Tuesday morning of some damage having been caused overnight to the West Stand," the IFA said in a statement.
"We are currently awaiting a report from the structural engineers."
The researchers suspect that the vertical, branchless stem of a South African plant - locally called the Rat's Tail - has evolved to encourage pollinating birds to visit its flowers.
The birds hang upside down from this perch and fertilise the plant when they thrust their beaks into the red flowers to drink nectar.
The international team reports the findings in the Annals of Botany.
Plants go to great lengths to attract animals to pollinate them; they seduce insects, birds and small mammals with colourful, shapely, sweet-smelling flowers.
Some plants even wave at passing pollinators.
On first seeing the deep red, long-tubular flowers of Babiana ringens in 2003, botanist Spencer Barrett from the University of Toronto, Canada, suspected that he was dealing with a plant that was pollinated exclusively by birds.
But the position of the flowers at the base of the plant perplexed him.
Most birds avoid feeding on or close to the ground to keep clear of ground-dwelling predators; plants reliant on bird-pollination tend to keep their flowers up high.
Dr Barrett and his colleague Bruce Anderson from University of Stellenbosch in South Africa, wondered if the curious perch-like structure had evolved to give pollinating birds a foothold from which to feed.
Crouching among the shrubs of the Cape of South Africa, binoculars in hand, Dr Barrett and his team confirmed that the flowers were exclusively pollinated by sunbirds.
"When we saw a bird visiting we were completely enchanted," said Dr Barrett.
Still unconvinced that the stick-like protrusion had evolved as a perch, the team set about to gather further evidence.
They set out to look at the full distribution of B. ringens across the Cape, and found that in the east, where sunbirds have a greater variety of flowering plants to choose between, B. ringens' perches were smaller than in the west, where plants can rely on regular visits from sunbirds.
Dr Barrett suspects that in the absence of pollinating birds, the plants do not need to invest in maintaining the perch, and so it shrinks over many generations - an example of what is called relaxed selection.
With time, this branch might return to its ancestral form, which the researchers suspect was a central stem with flowers at its top, much like many of B. ringens' close relatives.
"It's a fascinating piece of work," said plant biologist Professor Simon Hiscock from the University of Bristol.
This study poses questions about the influence of pollinators on the structures of flowers and on plants' reproductive strategies, he added.

Eight days on, the SDLP was pledging to give newborn babies £250 in what looked like a regional version of Gordon Brown's now defunct Child Trust Fund.
But if you aren't a baby or a centenarian what does the campaign mean for you?
That's hard to fathom at this early stage, although the two major party manifestoes unveiled so far broadly represent the 'Fresh Start' (ensure stability with what you've got) approach versus the 'Vote For Change' (reverse a decade of failure) argument.
No doubt these contrasting themes in the DUP and SDLP documents will find echoes in Sinn Féin and the Ulster Unionist offerings.
The DUP has tried to play up the biggest party/first minister argument (Simon Hamilton told Stephen Nolan it's the "core issue"). Martin McGuinness insists it's nonsense as, in the event of Sinn Féin emerging as the largest party, he would immediately offer to shift his job title to joint first minister.

Social and moral issues have figured as the DUP leader Arlene Foster and the Greens' Claire Bailey responded to the prosecution of a woman for procuring abortion drugs over the internet on Inside Politics.

Then there was the backdraft from the Panama Papers, with all the Stormont party leaders hurrying to publish their tax returns. The most notable aspect of the local returns was that we now have a leader so young (Colum Eastwood) that he is still paying back his student loan.
One UKIP candidate briefly caused a stir on social media by suggesting voters should get a £100 tax rebate for turning up at their polling stations.
However, that was overtaken by his leader, David McNarry, appearing to confirm to Stephen Nolan that he was prepared to deport a foreign born surgeon for something as trivial as a parking fine (subsequently Mr McNarry issued two clarifications that UKIP policy only covered far more serious offences, but by then the on air damage had been done).
In the middle of this week, UTV host its first five way leaders' debate (the BBC's set piece debate will take place on Tuesday 3 May, two days before polling).
Perhaps this week's debate will energise and focus the campaign, but will it capture the public imagination as much as the the European Union referendum?
Cheryl Grimmer went missing from a shower block at a beach in New South Wales in 1970.
A court heard the British-born man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, required urgent psychiatric treatment.
Police said it was unlikely that the body of the little girl, originally from Bristol, will ever be found.
Man held over one of Australia's biggest mysteries
Speaking outside court in Woollongong, a city south of Sydney, members of the Grimmer family said the latest events had been "traumatising" for them, and they were unable to feel any sense of closure.
Cheryl disappeared from Fairy Meadow beach in Wollongong on the afternoon of 12 January 1970.
She was there with her mother, Carole, and her brothers Ricki, seven, Stephen, five, and Paul, four.
The family had only recently emigrated to Melbourne from Bristol.
Cheryl's disappearance sparked a massive search at the time as one of Australia's longest-running mysteries.
Detectives re-examined the case last year and said they had found three witnesses who said they had seen a teenager "loitering" near the scene.
The accused is due to appear in court again in May.
Nigel Warren was fined $2,400 (£1,600) for subletting his apartment to a Russian tourist in December.
The judge said he broke a law stopping people from subletting for fewer than 30 days.
Airbnb helps its members to rent out their spare rooms or homes.
Mr Warren said in a statement: "I like what Airbnb does, and I don't want this ruling to stand in the way of what I think is, overall, a great start-up."
However, some have started speculating at what this could mean for the future of Airbnb, which has also faced problems in Amsterdam.
In an email sent to its New York members on Wednesday, the company said: "We know from the amazing stories you have shared with us that many of you depend on the extra income you earn from hosting to help you afford to stay in your homes, make ends meet, or simply follow your dreams.
"And beyond the economic benefits to you as hosts and the neighbourhoods around you, Airbnb is a community of people establishing connections and making new friends around the world. So we are not going anywhere."
Airbnb, who helped Mr Warren with the case, said in the email: "We intervened in this case because it was so clearly contrary to the intent and text of the New York law, and we are already examining our options to appeal this ruling on Nigel's behalf."
The firm is lobbying to change the 2011 law, which was introduced to stop landlords from turning their homes into illegal hotels.
It added: "As always, we urge our hosts to learn about and obey all of the local laws in their cities. But it is often hard to predict how individual city administrators will interpret laws like this, and that needs to change."
The San Francisco-based company has 300,000 listings in 192 countries.
As of Wednesday, it had 22,677 listings in New York.
According to the New York Post, Mr Warren was cited when a city inspector was in his building for other reasons and came across the Russian tourist, who revealed details of the deal.
When the UK starts to negotiate new trade deals as it leaves the EU in 2019, food will be one of many areas that will need to be addressed.
The ongoing spat over chlorine chicken highlights how tastes and safety practices around the world can differ hugely.
What might seem normal practice in one country can seem problematic elsewhere.
In the US, it is legal to wash chicken carcasses in chlorinated water to kill germs - but this has been banned in the EU since 1997.
UK Environment Secretary Michael Gove has said the UK should not allow these imports in a post-Brexit trade deal with the US, but Trade Secretary Liam Fox says the practice is "perfectly safe".
Anthony Scaramucci, US president Donald Trump's new communications director, told BBC Newsnight that there would "100%" be a trade deal between his country and the UK - although he confessed he had no idea what was happening about chlorinated chicken.
Here are five occasions when spats over food have made past trade talks tricky.
For more than 80 years, the US refused to import Mexican avocados on the grounds that the fruit was infested with fruit flies and other bugs.
After the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) in 1994, the US came under pressure to relax its ban, rather than rely on its pricier home-grown avocados.
"Avocados are always used as a pawn in the trading process. Whenever the United States talks to Mexico about opening up other agricultural commodities to US growers... it always comes back to avocados," Jerome Steyhle, who chairs the California Avocado Growers Commission, told the BBC in 2003.
In 1997, the restrictions started to be lifted, and by 2016 the US was importing 1.7 billion avocados across the border each year, according to marketing group Avocados from Mexico.
But the avocado war could be reignited now that President Trump has threatened to renegotiate Nafta - which he described as "the single worst trade deal ever approved [by the United States]".
Earlier this year, there were reports of several Mexican avocado lorries being turned away at the border following an argument about US potato imports.
One of the best known food-related trade disputes was over hormone-fed beef.
The use of certain growth hormones in cattle rearing is legal in the US.
But in 1988, the EU banned the use of several major growth promotion hormones, which it said posed a potential risk to human health. This was an effective ban on American beef.
A decade later, the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled the EU's refusal to import US beef was not based on scientific evidence and violated its members' obligations.
However, the trading bloc still wouldn't buy the meat, leading the US to retaliate by levying higher trade tariffs on some of its EU imports.
"American ranchers raise some of the best beef on the planet, but restrictive European Union policies continue to deny EU consumers access to US beef at affordable prices. For several years we have been asking the EU to fix an agreement that is clearly broken, despite its original promise to provide a favourable market for US beef," US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said last year.
Several years ago, India blocked the implementation of a 2013 global trade agreement it feared would stop it stockpiling food for the poor.
India refused to back the Trade Facilitation Agreement until it was assured proposed limits to farming subsidies would not affect its $12bn (£9.2bn) food-security programme.
It pays farmers over the odds for grain, some of which it sells to poorer households while the rest is set aside in case of shortages.
The WTO trade agreement simplified customs procedures and was designed to add $1tn to the global economy, and benefit developing countries in particular, so India's defiance was strongly criticised by the global community.
India agreed to lift the veto after WTO members agreed that an arrangement known as a "peace clause" - which protects food stockpiling - would remain valid until the WTO could find a permanent solution.
It was due to expire in 2017, but will now effectively continue indefinitely.
Negotiations on a big trade deal between Japan and the EU began in 2013.
Both sides wanted to slash tariffs on a huge range of goods, to boost trade.
This is a sensitive process because domestic producers tend to be wary of foreign competition.
The Japanese side was particularly keen to boost car sales in Europe, while the EU negotiators wanted to sell more dairy products.
Loosening the dairy rules wasn't such a big deal for hard cheeses such as cheddar and gouda, which are not made in Japan.
But Japanese dairy farmers do make softer cheeses, which proved a roadblock in the final stages of the talks, earlier this year.
After some late night haggling, the EU's Agriculture Commissioner, Phil Hogan, secured a compromise.
The EU would have a yearly quota of 31,000 tonnes for soft cheese exports, in exchange for almost complete market access for hard cheese.
A few days later in Brussels, EU leaders and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced the completion of the deal, dubbed "cars for cheese".
After years of negotiations, the EU completed its most ambitious free-trade deal to date: the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (Ceta) with Canada.
But under EU rules, some far-reaching trade agreements require the consent of all 28 EU countries before they can come into force.
To make things even more complicated, in Belgium seven federal, regional and community bodies had to give their approval as well.
Wallonia, the country's French-speaking region, said no.
Politicians in the staunchly socialist region had concerns about the dispute-settlement mechanism in the agreement, along with something else - milk.
Wallonian dairy farmers worried about the impact of free trade on their sales.
A group of them marched outside the European Commission in Brussels to voice their disapproval of Ceta.
Eventually, Belgian political leaders reached a consensus and broke the deadlock, agreeing an addendum to the Canadian deal, which addressed concerns over the rights of farmers and governments.
The European Parliament approved Ceta in February, although it has not come into force yet.
James Reilly denied this was part of draft legislation to amend abortion laws.
Irish law prevents abortion unless there is a risk to the life, rather than the health, of the mother.
New laws were promised after the death of Savita Halappanavar last October.
The 31-year-old died in University Hospital Galway four days after suffering a miscarriage. The cause of her death was septic shock, E. coli in her bloodstream and a miscarriage at 17 weeks.
Her family claimed she might have survived if she had been given an abortion.
At the inquest into her death, a leading obstetrician said Mrs Halappanavar would probably still be alive today if she had had a termination in the first three days of her stay in the hospital, but that under Irish law an abortion would have been illegal because there was "not a real and substantial risk to her life" at that stage.
Her death focused international attention on the Republic of Ireland's abortion laws.
Since a Supreme Court ruling in 1992, known as the X case, abortion has been constitutionally available in the Republic where a woman's life, as distinct from her health, is at risk from the continued pregnancy.
The credible threat of suicide is constitutionally regarded as a reason for a termination.
But in the intervening years no government has introduced enacting legislation to give doctors legal certainty about when an abortion can be carried out.
Irish television and newspapers reported over the weekend that a suicidal pregnant woman would have to be assessed by six specialists, including four psychiatrists, before an abortion could be allowed.
However, Mr Reilly said there would be no question of this happening.
"With respect, I think that some people may have formed the wrong impression. The heads of the bill [its general principles] are not finalised - they are still in process," Mr Reilly said.
"But I do want to allay any misapprehension people have.
"It is not the case, nor was it ever going to be the case, that a woman who is in a distressed state with suicidal ideation would be subjected to an interview by six different medical people either simultaneously or individually."
The health minister said he accepted that there were differences of opinion both inside and outside government and he said the draft legislation will come before the Irish cabinet on Tuesday.
Mr Reilly requested space and time to finalise the process before the bill is finally drafted.
"What we have to do here is honour our obligation to bring clarity to the law, so that the women of this country know what's available in relation to the services that are there for them and that the medical people who have to provide these services are clear on what's legal and what is not."
Elsewhere, the Tanaiste (Irish Deputy Prime Minister) Eamon Gilmore said the government intended to keep to its deadline of having abortion legislation "dealt with" before the summer recess.
Two car bombs and clashes with Kurdish defenders left up to 30 people dead and scores injured. IS shot dead 20 others in a village nearby, activists say.
IS has recently suffered a string of defeats to Kurdish forces.
But in another attack on Thursday, it seized parts of the key north-eastern city of Hassakeh.
The apparent two-pronged IS offensive came as Kurdish fighters from the Popular Protection Units (YPG) cut a major supply line for IS near Raqqa.
Raqqa is the de facto capital of the caliphate whose creation IS announced a year ago after it captured large swathes of northern and western Iraq.
Kobane still matters to IS. It was never important strategically, but this latest attack shows that its loss, after five months of heavy street-to-street fighting and coalition aerial bombardment, still hurts IS.
As was the case last November when a huge vehicle bomb exploded at the same spot, questions are being asked if the attackers made it in from the Turkish side, and if so, why Turkey didn't stop them.
Thursday's assault is a reminder, too, that IS, despite recent losses in the area, is still very much active and capable of offensives. Overnight they also attacked Hassakeh to the east, a far bigger prize.
Despite the narrative of the last few weeks, IS is far from being on the back foot.
Key events in battle for Kobane
Kobane: Inside the town devastated by fight against IS
Battle for Iraq and Syria in maps
The IS attack on Kobane began with militants detonating a car bomb - followed by an assault from dozens of IS fighters from a number of directions.
Some may have hidden themselves among returning refugees - there are also reports that they disguised themselves by wearing Kurdish militia uniforms, says the BBC's Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville.
A reporter with Kurdish news agency Rudaw reports from inside Kobane that he had seen "a wounded woman whose entire family were killed inside their home after IS gunmen entered their house".
Hours later another car bomb exploded in the city.
A senior local official told BBC Persian that the situation in Kobane itself was "under control" but clashes were continuing on its eastern and northern outskirts.
Suggestions by Syrian state television that the militants had entered Kobane from Turkey were rejected in the Turkish media.
The governor's office in the Turkish province of Sanliurfa, bordering Kobane, was quoted by Hurriyet newspaper as saying that evidence suggested they entered from the west, via the Syrian town of Jarablus.
Hassakeh, about 270km (180 miles) east of Kobane, has been under the control of both government forces and Kurdish fighters, and IS militants have been trying to capture it for months.
The militants reportedly struck at government-held neighbourhoods and captured two districts. Syrian state TV said local people were being forced from their homes and that there had been killings.
Hassakeh is the largest city in north-eastern Syria. An estimated 500,000 people live there, in addition to thousands who have fled violence elsewhere.
Between 30,000 and 35,000 people from a population of about 400,000 have returned to Kobane following the IS defeat in January.
More than 200,000 Syrians have lost their lives in four years of armed conflict - more than 11 million others have been forced from their homes.

The hosts favoured an early draw for logistical reasons, while the leading nations preferred a later date to avoid a repeat of 2015's "group of hell" scenario.
England failed to reach the knockout stages of their own tournament after losing to Australia and Wales.
The draw for the 2015 World Cup was held in December 2012, almost three years before the tournament.
Wales' ranking dropped to ninth shortly before the draw, meaning they were drawn against England and Australia. By the time of the tournament, Wales were ranked fifth - one place higher than England.
Wales qualified as Group A runners-up, but coach Warren Gatland said it was "ridiculous" to hold the draw so far in advance.
World Rugby said: "While the draw is closer to the start of the tournament this time around compared to the previous Rugby World Cup, it is necessary to conduct it well in advance for logistical reasons and to allow for an effective ticketing programme to be implemented."
The tournament will take place between 20 September and 2 November 2019.
The stand-out feel-good men of the three-Test summer tour - Italy in Singapore, Australia in Sydney and Fiji in Suva - are the three uncapped players - D'Arcy Rae, the Glasgow tight-head, George Turner, the Edinburgh hooker and Nick Grigg, the Glasgow centre.
Grigg, a Kiwi with an Ayrshire grandfather, came on the Scottish radar by way of a tip-off from the great All Black forward Andy Leslie. He's had a fine season with Glasgow.
Rae is something of a surprise, but Turner is the real bolter. The 24-year-old was once the coming man of Edinburgh rugby but he has started just one game for them in five years. Townsend has a lot of faith in Turner.
The biggest casualty is just as obvious. Having been included in the match-day 23 for every one of Scotland's Six Nations matches this season - coming off the bench in four of them - Duncan Weir has bitten the dust.
Townsend has picked two fly-halves, but Finn Russell's understudy is now Glasgow's Peter Horne. Ruaridh Jackson, of Harlequins, has also been selected, a third 10 who is included in the back-three category. With Russell, Horne and Jackson in the travelling party, Weir has gone from second-choice to fourth.
He's not alone among 2017 Six Nations players who are going to be left at home this summer. Simon Berghan, the Edinburgh tight-head, played three games off the bench in the championship but he's lost his place to Rae, who Townsend talked up as a consistent player who deserves his chance. WP Nel, blighted by injury since his last Test in Japan last June, is included and has started to take contact in training, a blessing for the new coach.
Cornell du Preez, the Edinburgh back-row who made two substitute appearances in the Six Nations, has been replaced. Magnus Bradbury is in after being dropped following his one Scotland appearance against Argentina last autumn. Josh Strauss returns following injury as does Saracens' Duncan Taylor, a key addition to the squad. Rob Harley is back in the frame having falling out of contention under Vern Cotter.
Though he started in Scotland's, and Cotter's, last Test against Italy in the spring, Grant Gilchrist has missed out to his Edinburgh team-mate Ben Toolis. Others are absent through Lions selection - Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour and Greig Laidlaw - and injury - Huw Jones, Mark Bennett, Alasdair Dickinson, Rory Sutherland and Stuart McInally.
Townsend has chosen 17 Glasgow players and another 17 from Edinburgh (10) and the exiles (seven). John Barclay carries on as captain in Laidlaw's absence with Sean Maitland favourite to take over from Hogg at full-back in the Tests and Lee Jones in the box-seat to fill in for Seymour on the wing.
For the coach, there is an upside to having only three players away with the Lions and no Scottish team in contention in the Pro12 play-offs. He'll have to sweat on Barclay, Taylor and Maitland as they enter league knockouts with their clubs, but he'll have three weeks to work with the vast bulk of his squad before they depart for Singapore and another three weeks after that on tour.
The ball is now rolling on the Townsend era. Three Saturdays in June will give us the first idea what direction that era is heading in.
The Norfolk North MP said he had "never shrunk away from a challenge" and that he wanted to work to restore trust in the party "undermined" in recent years.
Nick Clegg quit as leader after his party was left with eight MPs and a new leader will be elected in July.
The party's former president, Tim Farron, is also seen as one of the frontrunners to become leader.
Mr Lamb, who held his seat with a reduced majority of 4,043, said the general election had been "absolutely punishing" for his party.
He told BBC Look East he made his decision to stand after "an awful lot" of soul-searching in a period of "complete exhaustion" after the election.
But he concluded he should do it, he said, as "obviously the party suffered devastating results last Thursday. It's critically important that we reconnect and... have an effective advocate for what modern liberalism is all about."
He added: "As health minister I put body and soul into it and I would do the same for this job."
Mr Lamb told Radio 4's Today programme the public's confidence in his party had been severely damaged by its decision to go back on a pledge, made before the 2010 election, to oppose any increase in university tuition fees.
Mr Lamb voted in favour of the increase in fees to £9,000 in December 2010 when he was a whip in the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition government.
"Trust for me is critically important and that debacle massively undermined people's trust in the party," Mr Lamb said.
"I believe very strongly that we have now learned a massive lesson, an extremely painful one. But I don't think we will ever make that mistake again."
The Liberal Democrats have set in motion a two-month contest to succeed Mr Clegg after they said a new leader would be elected in July.
Mr Farron, who voted against the tuition fees increase, said his party must "turn our anger into action" and rebuild from the bottom upwards. He said he felt a sense of anger the election had been fought "on the politics of fear".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Farron added: "When one looks back at the election and you realise that the best asset David Cameron has is the SNP and the best asset the SNP has is David Cameron."
It was an election fought on the basis of people being terrified of the other, he said.
"Fear is a hugely motivating factor in elections, I'm sad to report."
Nominations for leader will open on 13 May and close on 3 June. Ballot papers will be sent out on 24 June and must be returned by 15 July. The winner will be declared on 16 July.
Mr Trump said his wealthy appointees, such as Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross (net worth: $2.5bn £2bn), had "brilliant business minds".
"That's what we need," he said at an Iowa rally. "And I love all people, rich or poor.
"But in those particular positions, I just don't want a poor person. Does that make sense?"
For many Americans, the answer is, basically, yes.
The president "should have worded that better", said Michael Washington 42, of Brooklyn, an assistant manager at a messenger service in New York.
Mr Washington said he disliked the implication that poor people are stupid.
But, he added, "it makes sense to hire someone rich because they're business-minded. I would agree with that".
American attitudes toward the poor have shown signs of improving.
About two-thirds of Americans think the poor are hard-working, up from half in 1985, according to a 2016 survey conducted for the Los Angeles Times.
And about 55% of Americans believe the poor and non-poor have job skills that are "pretty much the same", up from 44% in 1985.
Caitlin Quigley, 27, who works at a charity in New York, said Mr Trump's conflation of wealth with talent rankled.
"Just because a person's rich doesn't say anything about their capabilities or qualifications or how they'd help us and represent us," she said.
But Mr Trump's belief that success and talent can be measured in dollars has a long tradition in American life, particularly among conservatives, said historian Nancy Isenberg, a professor at Louisiana State University and the author of White Trash: The 400-year Untold History of Class in America.
"The truth is that this is something that Americans are quite comfortable with," she said. "We talk about equality but we're quite comfortable with class hierarchy."
Even with evidence that social mobility is falling, the up-from-your-bootstraps belief that wealth is a sign of merit holds strong in the US.
In a 2014 survey by Pew Research Center, about 57% of Americans disagreed with the idea that success is determined by outside forces.
That was a higher percentage than in almost any other country of 44 included (in the UK that percentage was 55%).
In the same survey, nearly three-quarters of Americans said it is important to work hard to get ahead in life (that percentage was 60% in the UK).
Mr Trump has "an obscure way of saying things", but he also has a point, said George Paragon, 46, of Yonkers, who works in human services.
"We wouldn't want a shoemaker to fly a plane," he said.
Susana Navas, 64, of the Bronx, a financial supervisor, said she sees risks in plucking policymakers from the ranks of the mega-rich.
"They don't know much about the people's economy," she said. "They know about being rich."
Studies suggest that the rich pay less attention to others and have less empathy.
They've also been found to be more likely to ascribe identity and status to inherent traits.
Indeed, Professor Isenberg said the president's proposals - which include tax cuts for the rich and a reduction of health assistance for the poor - are more telling about his attitudes to poverty than Wednesday's remarks.
"The healthcare bill has a lot more to say about his disregard for the poor and indifference than this comment," she said.
Mr Duterte was responding to the US president's promise to raise the issue of drug-related extra-judicial killings in the Philippines at their meeting.
The Philippine leader, known for his colourful language, has insulted prominent figures before, but this time it has had diplomatic consequences.
He has now said he regrets the remark.
"While the immediate cause was my strong comments to certain press questions that elicited concern and distress, we also regret that it came across as a personal attack on the US president," a statement by his office said.
Summit diplomacy, Duterte-style
World leaders' offensive insults: Who's top?
Duterte: From 'Punisher' to president
What's the point of Asean?
In the past, President Duterte has called Pope Francis the "son of a whore", US Secretary of State John Kerry "crazy" and recently referred to the US ambassador to the Philippines a "gay son of a whore".
Both he and President Obama are in Laos for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit.
Mr Duterte has been forced to apologise for offensive comments before, but this is the first time he has had to confront the reality of his outlandish behaviour on the international stage
It is the president's first overseas trip - an opportunity that many leaders would have used to cement ties with neighbouring countries and superpowers like China and the US.
Instead Mr Duterte has spent the morning dampening down the controversy he created.
At the heart of this is the fact that Mr Duterte isn't used to being told what to do; and that he likes to display machismo and bravado, which plays well to his domestic audience.
But when he sits down for serious discussions with his Asean counterparts over the next couple of days, they'll be looking for Asian discretion and subtlety, not diplomacy Duterte-style.
Mr Obama, who flew to Laos after attending the G20 meeting in Hangzhou, China, had been set to raise concerns about human rights abuses in the Philippines.
But speaking in Manila on Monday before he left for Laos, Mr Duterte bristled at the suggestion, saying the Philippines "has long ceased to be a colony".
"Putang ina, I will swear at you in that forum," he then said, using a Tagalog phrase for "son of a whore" or "son of a bitch".
Mr Obama initially appeared to play down the insult, calling his Philippine counterpart a "colourful character" and saying he had asked his aides to work out if this is "a time where we can have some constructive, productive conversations".
His aides later cancelled the talks.
Mr Obama's last scheduled trip to Asia as president has not been without incident: he was also caught up in a protocol row with hosts China over his arrival in Hangzhou.
In his comments on Monday, President Duterte pledged to continue with his anti-drugs campaign that has led to the killing of 2,400 suspected drug dealers and users in the Philippines since he took office in June.
"Many will die, plenty will be killed until the last pusher is out of the streets... until the [last] drug manufacturer is killed we will continue," he said.
The UN has repeatedly condemned Mr Duterte's policies as a violation of human rights. In August, two UN human rights experts said Mr Duterte's directive for police and the public to kill suspected drug traffickers amounted to "incitement to violence and killing, a crime under international law".
This round of Asean talks comes against the backdrop of tensions over China's territorial ambitions in the South China Sea - the Philippines and the US are key players in that debate.
Paul Wright, from Mold, was released after being interviewed by Greek police.
But he was arrested in March this year after being convicted in his absence by a Greek court of joyriding and criminal damage.
Mr Wright faces a £3,500 fine or a 15 month prison sentence.
The Foreign Office said it was unable to comment on Mr Wright's case.
He was on holiday with friends in Malia, Crete when he got into a car belonging to a Greek barman.
He claims his friend crashed it, ran off and left him to explain the damage.
"I jumped in the car with him and he goes tearing down the street, crashes into a scooter and runs away," said Mr Wright.
The next day he said the car's owner took around 700 euros from his hotel room and threatened to come back for more.
He returned home, but was arrested by North Wales Police earlier this year, who told him he was the subject of a European arrest warrant.
"I was shocked," he said.
"These people should be following some sort of procedure to actually summons you, and tell you what's going on.
"I didn't even get a chance to defend myself."
Mr Wright is unable to work due to a spinal condition and cannot afford to pay the fine.
His solicitor is fighting the extradition and his case is being supported by MP David Hanson, who said it is unfair for a person to be convicted in their absence with no opportunity to defend themselves.
"There are some serious questions which need to be answered," said Mr Hanson.
Mr Wright is also appealing to the UK Government to change the way it reviews European arrest warrants.
He said countries like Greece are using the threat of prison to force foreigners convicted in their absence to pay large fines.
Mr Wright is due to appear before Westminster Magistrates Court on 1 November.

Brownlee, whose brother Alistair is injured, clocked one hour 55 minutes 26 seconds to beat Spanish defending champion Javier Gomez by 15 seconds.
"It was great to win," said Brownlee. "It's the first time I've won a World Series event for a while."
Lucy Hall, in 17th, was the highest-placed Briton in the women's event, which was won by USA's Gwen Jorgensen.
It was a record seventh straight World Triathlon Series victory for 28-year-old Jorgensen.
Her compatriot Katie Zaferes was second, with New Zealand's Andrea Hewitt third.
Ireland's Aileen Reid finished 15th, while Britain's Jessica Learmonth pulled out on the bike leg.
British Triathlon performance director Brendan Purcell said: "Jess has been unwell, it was touch and go whether she was going to race, so it was good to see her swim and bike well until she had a mechanical problem."
Both races featured a 1,500m swim, 43.2km bike and 10km run.
Brownlee, 24, looked strong throughout the men's race as he improved on his fifth place at the season-opener in Abu Dhabi on 7 March.
"I made mistakes in Abu Dhabi and have been beating myself up about it since," he said. "I wanted to show how fit I was.
"I've been practising running hard off a fast bike. I was a bit cleverer on the bike and maybe I'm a bit fitter than I was at the start of the year.
"I felt very good, the swim was great, with the bike I didn't want to do anything silly and on the run I was surprised, I had a gap which I didn't expect, it shows how hard the bike was.
"It's great to have an honest course where you can use your strength. I swim 10 hours a week, I bike 20 hours a week and I want to be able to show that."
Thomas Bishop, in 13th, was the next Briton home after Brownlee, with Ireland's Bryan Keane and Conor Murphy in 42nd and 48th respectively.
Britons Phillip Graves and Grant Sheldon did not finish.

Speaking after chairing a meeting of the Cobra emergency committee on the crisis, he said "detailed plans" were being put in place for the operation.
The UK has made a third round of airdrops to the thousands fleeing Islamist fighters across mountains.
Meanwhile, France says it will arm Kurdish forces battling the militants.
The US has also reportedly begun supplying weapons to the Kurdish forces, known as the Peshmerga.
US forces have carried out a number of air strikes targeting militant group Islamic State (IS) near Irbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, while drones have also fired on jihadist fighters.
The US has also sent 130 more military advisers to the Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
Mr Cameron said Britain's involvement remained a humanitarian mission.
UK Chinook helicopters are expected to arrive in Cyprus later, and RAF Tornado jets are preparing to carry out surveillance operations to support aid deliveries.
The prime minister said: "We need a plan to get these people off that mountain and get them to a place of safety, and I can confirm that detailed plans are now being put in place and are under way, and that Britain will play a role in delivering that."
The prime minister would not say whether the Chinooks would also be used to airlift refugees to safety.
BBC political correspondent Carole Walker said the government had also agreed to transport supplies to Kurdish forces fighting IS militants.
Citing a senior government source, she said this should not be described as "arms".
"The source said such an operation falls within the government's humanitarian effort as it is to help the Kurdish forces who are doing the most on the ground to protect civilians," our correspondent said.
Asked to respond to demands for Parliament to be recalled, Mr Cameron added: "This is a humanitarian operation that Britain is involved in, so I do not think it's necessary to recall Parliament for that.
"But of course I always keep these issues under review and were things to change, then obviously that is something that could be done."
After the Cobra meeting, Mr Cameron called Iraq's prime minister-designate, Haider al-Abadi, to express support for him and "his efforts to establish an inclusive government as swiftly as possible", Downing Street said.
The UN has warned that tens of thousands of civilians are trapped on mountains in northern Iraq near the Syrian border by fighters from IS.
Jihadists are reportedly targeting Iraqi Christians and members of the Yazidi religious sect.
About 35,000 people have escaped from the mountains into Syria and on to the Kurdistan region of Iraq in the past three days, with the UN warning they needed "life-saving assistance".
Some 700,000 Yazidis are believed to have been displaced.
International Development Secretary Justine Greening confirmed a third round of UK air drops successfully took place on Tuesday night.
There have now been five drops over three nights, which included 2,640 reusable water purification containers filled with clean water and more than 500 shelter kits to help shade the refugees in temperatures of more than 40C (104F).
A cargo plane loaded with water containers and filtration units flew out of East Midlands Airport on Wednesday.
The containers will be filled with approximately 39,000 litres (8,578 gallons) of water and used in future aid deliveries.
Labour leader Ed Miliband welcomed Mr Cameron's pledge for more action.
He added: "We must play our part in bringing help and relief to those thousands of refugees, and the UK must do all that it can to assist the vital international effort to bring them to safety."
Justin Bronk, a military analyst from the Royal United Services Institute, told the BBC a Chinook helicopter could hold 70-75 refugees if an evacuation was attempted.
Taban Sami Shoresh, a British Kurd helping with the relief efforts, told the BBC she had never seen so many people "scramble for survival" when an aid helicopter landed.
"All they wanted to do was get on the plane to be saved, and we could only take so much. It's horrific. It's heartbreaking to see," she said.
"There is a humanitarian crisis here and we desperately need the help from all directions," she said.
Speaking from Irbil in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq, Ms Shoresh described how Mount Sinjar was "completely hemmed" by IS fighters.
Meanwhile, Conservative former Defence Secretary Liam Fox told BBC Radio 4's The World at One Britain should join in the airstrike campaign "alongside its US ally" in Iraq.
He said his comments were not a direct attack on the prime minister, saying he was criticising "the Western powers in general" who he said had been "too slow to act over Iraq".
But Conservative MP John Baron said the government was right to focus on humanitarian support.
Father Jesus Delgado sexually abused a young girl over an eight-year period during the 1980s, the Church said in statement.
He is willing to meet woman, who is now 42, and ask for forgiveness, reads the statement.
The Church was forced to act after the government of El Salvador warned that it would name the priest.
Secretary of Social Inclusion Vanda Pignato informed the Catholic Church in October of the results of the government's findings, La Prensa Grafica newspaper reported.
"He likes to celebrates mass for the children but he is a paedophile," said Ms Pignato.
After conducting an internal investigation, the Church decided to suspend the bishop of all his priestly functions.
The girl was abused from the aged of nine until she was 17.
Bishop Delgado, 77, was a respected figure in the Central American nation.
He was an aide and biographer of Archbishop Oscar Romero.
Monsignor Romero was murdered by a death squad in 1980, in the early days of El Salvador's brutal civil war.
Pope Francis declared Monsignor Romero a martyr and unblocked the process for his beatification, which was being overseen by Father Delgado.
Quins ran in three tries in the opening 22 minutes as Charlie Walker crossed twice and Ross Chisholm dotted down.
The Exiles rallied with tries from Luke Narraway and Asaeli Tikoirotuma to only trail 22-15 at half-time.
David Paice's score then levelled matters for Irish before a late try from Quins prop Kyle Sinckler sent Irish down to the Championship.
It is the first time Irish have dropped out of England's top flight since 1994, having won just four of their 21 league games so far this season.
Head coach Tom Coventry took charge of Irish at the start of the season after they finished 10th last year, but it took until Boxing Day for them to win their first league game.
Harlequins, who are losing director of rugby Conor O'Shea this summer when he goes to Italy, secured a bonus point with Sinckler's fourth try which moves them up to sixth above Sale in the table.
They host second-placed Exeter on the final day of the campaign, while Irish are at third-placed Wasps.
London Irish head coach Tom Coventry told BBC Radio Berkshire:
"It's a hugely bad day for the club. We're all disappointed.
"The ambition is to move forward and we've wanted to do that from the start. Maybe ambition has got ahead of us, I'm not sure.
"We'll wash all that out over the next few weeks and look at where things have gone wrong and what we could've done better.
"We fell short again today. We showed some dominance in some parts of our game, but not in enough places across the field."
On his own future in the job: "I've been brought over here on a three-year contract.
"If I'm part of the future going forward, then we've got a big challenge ahead. If not, then we'll wait and see."
Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea:
"We started brilliant and we played some really good rugby.
"We knew it was going to be tough today, emotionally, against a team who were going to fight tooth and nail and they did.
"We're in control of our own destiny again and we look forward to Exeter next week. Our goal today was to, putting personal things aside, put London Irish down."
On former club Irish's relegation: "It's terrible. I just hope they come back very quickly.
"I know that Quins did it and so did Northampton. Both have come back since and won the Premiership.
"Twenty-one years ago I came to London to join Irish. I know there's great plans for the club and I just want to see them come to fruition.
"I'm sure they'll stick together and come out of the other side."

Henry VII - born Henry Tudor - was born at Pembroke Castle in 1457, the son of Margaret Beaufort and Edmund Tudor.
He went on to become the first Welshman to sit on the English throne.
The 8ft-high (2.4m) £45,000 bronze statue was unveiled on the town's Mill Bridge during a ceremony on Saturday.
Unveiling the statue, Sara Edwards, Lord Lieutenant of Dyfed, said: "It seems only fitting that the birthplace of one of our great kings should be recognised here and will be here as a permanent home in the shadow of Pembroke Castle."
The people of Pembroke have been trying for many years for the town to gain recognition as the birthplace of the founder of the Tudor dynasty and the site of the statue was chosen to have his birthplace as a backdrop.
The statue was modelled in clay by sculptor Harriet Addyman before being cast in bronze.
The unveiling of the sculpture, paid for by local people, a donation from oil refinery firm Valero and the council, was marked with a community party.
A feasibility study will now look into the possibility of creating a Henry VII visitor centre, which could tell the story of his past and how he went on to defeat Richard III at the battle of Bosworth Field to become king.
Elephant and Castle roundabout in south London was the worst accident blackspot with 80 accidents involving cyclists between 2009 and 2013.
DfT figures analysed by insurers Aviva showed cycling accidents within the M25 reported to or attended by police.
Transport for London said any accident was "one too many".
In a statement, it said: ‎"While we don't recognise the interpretation of these figures, we entirely agree that any accident on London's roads is one too many.
"That is why we are investing nearly £1bn in upgrading the existing Cycle Superhighways with greater segregation, introducing major new segregated cycle routes and backstreet Quietways, and overhauling dozens of junctions on both our roads and on borough roads."
In March 2014, the London mayor's office announced a £4bn plan to revamp London's roads, including a new road layout, with more cycle lanes at Elephant and Castle roundabout.
Most accidents involving cyclists between 2009 and 2013
Central London's Trafalgar Square had the second highest number of motor accidents involving cyclists, with 46 recorded over the five-year period.
Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group leader Caroline Pidgeon said: "With such appalling figures as this it is simply shameful that year after year Transport for London have repeatedly spent just a fraction of their allocated budget on vital improvements to junctions and investing in cycling infrastructure."
There have been four cyclist deaths in London in 2015, all involving lorries, with the most recent being last week in Victoria when a mother-of-two died.
Earlier in February a three-fold increase in the number of fatalities on the capital's roads prompted Scotland Yard to reintroduce its highway safety operation.
Operation Safeway will see 600 officers deployed at 166 junctions during morning and evening rush hours for six weeks.
Officers will target road users committing traffic offences.
Mr Trump, who has pledged to repeal the 2010 law, said he will keep the ban on insurers denying coverage for pre-existing conditions.
He told the Wall Street Journal that he also favoured allowing young adults to be insured on their parents' policies.
"I like those very much," Mr Trump said of the two pillars of the bill.
It was his meeting with Mr Obama on Thursday that had made him reconsider his calls for an all-out replacement of the Affordable Care Act, he told the newspaper.
Asked whether he would implement a campaign promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate his defeated Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server while secretary of state, Mr Trump said: "It's not something I've given a lot of thought, because I want to solve healthcare, jobs, border control, tax reform."
Meanwhile, protesters angered by Mr Trump's election gathered in several US cities for a third night on Friday. Thousands took to the streets of Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, voicing anger at the president-elect's comments about immigrants, Muslims and women.
Police in Portland are investigating the shooting and wounding of a protester on a bridge where anti-Trump demonstrators were marching. Officers had earlier used stun grenades to disperse a crowd of hundreds of people in the city centre.
In a separate interview with CBS, Mr Trump said the parts of Mr Obama's healthcare bill he was "going to try to keep" were "the strongest assets".
He said that while the bill would be repealed and replaced, the changes would provide Americans with "great healthcare for much less money".
He made the statement during an interview with the 60 Minutes programme, which is due to air on Sunday.
Also on Friday Mr Trump put Vice-President-elect Mike Pence in charge of his transition team, replacing New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
"Repeal and replace" - with emphasis on the former over the latter - has been the Republican mantra when it comes to Barack Obama's healthcare reform for the past six years. Candidate Donald Trump echoed this when he labelled the programme a "disaster" and promised something much better if he were elected president.
Just days after the US public gave Mr Trump the keys to the Oval Office, however, he said there were parts of Mr Obama's signature legislative achievement worth keeping.
The challenge for the president-elect is that the Obamacare features he praises - such as its mandate that insurers cover pre-existing medical conditions - are made possible by portions of the law he has condemned, like requiring all Americans to obtain insurance.
Keeping the law's carrots while abandoning its sticks could prove difficult.
Complicating the matter is that a "revise and reform" effort may not fly with Mr Trump's ardent supporters and the cadre of arch-conservative politicians in Congress, who want to tear up the law "root and branch".
Mr Trump often broke with Republican orthodoxy while campaigning and didn't pay a political price. He may learn that as president he won't get far without his party establishment's help.
During the election campaign, Mr Trump said the government-run health insurance marketplace was "a total disaster" and "a catastrophe".
"Obamacare is just blowing up," he said only last month, while promising his own plan would deliver "great healthcare at a fraction of the cost".
While running for president, Mr Trump did not offer much detail on what he envisaged would be Obamacare's replacement.
The Republican's plan included tax-deductible health savings accounts and allowing insurers to sell coverage across state lines.
His apparent change of heart on Friday comes amid a surge in applications to join the plan from Americans possibly fearful it is about to be overturned.
More than 100,000 applicants snapped up Obamacare health insurance on the day after Tuesday's election, this year's biggest sign-up, the Obama administration announced.
About 22 million Americans would be without insurance if the law was repealed.
Congressional Republicans have voted more than 50 times to undo the law.
Though the Republicans have maintained control of the Senate, they cannot repeal the Affordable Care Act in its entirety because under Senate rules, the Democratic minority remain in a position to block the move.
The Republicans could, however, starve parts of the bill of funding through a budgetary process called reconciliation.
The law has not been without its difficulties.
Last month, the Obama administration said the average cost of medical coverage under the bill was expected to rise by 25% next year for those Americans who do not qualify for subsidies.
And about one in five consumers would only be able to pick plans from a single insurer, it added.
Former President Bill Clinton last month called the unsubsidised portion of the law "the craziest thing in the world".
In the US - unlike in many other Western countries - private companies, rather than the government, provide health insurance for most citizens.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration has suspended its efforts to win congressional approval for a Pacific free-trade deal before Mr Trump succeeds him in January.
The deal covers mostly agricultural products and involves 12 countries around the Pacific, but not China.
Officials said that after eight years of negotiations the fate of the deal, known as the Trans Pacific Partnership, was in the hands of the next administration.
Mr Trump has criticised the accord, describing it as a disaster which would send more jobs overseas.
BBC business correspondent Joe Lynam says a collapse of the agreement would be likely to increase Chinese dominance of the region and damage America's global reputation.
The Hair Coach, which will retail at just under $200 (£160), contains a microphone, gyroscope and accelerometer among other sensors.
It also vibrates if you brush too hard.
The brush is one of a handful of new beauty gadgets that have been announced at this year's CES tech show in Las Vegas.
The brush's in-built microphone records the sounds of breaking hair. The firm says the other sensors are used to build up a profile of the way the owner looks after their hair.
The brush then shares the data via wi-fi or Bluetooth to an app.
The software uses the information to assess hair quality and monitor the effects of different routines - as well as recommending products.
"You'd be surprised by how many women around the world are concerned about hair breakage," Guive Balooch, global vice president of L'Oreals' research and innovation technology incubator told the BBC.
"One of the biggest challenges when brushing your hair is making sure you don't brush too hard and break the fibres.
"That can lead to damage of hair that doesn't look good for consumers."
Other gadgets vying to become part of tech savvy beauty routines at CES include:
"I am sure there are people who care about their hair quality that much - if you think that a good hair straightener costs around $90, $200 does not seem that bad," said tech analyst Caroline Milanesi of Creative Strategies.
"That said, I feel we will have a lot of things that companies will add sensors to just because they can."
Health and beauty tech is generally acknowledged as an as-yet unproven gadget category, but many brands are now developing devices with the hope of snagging an early corner of the market.
L'Oreal's Hair Coach has been developed over the last 18 months as a partnership between its brand Kerastase and Withings, which is owned by former smartphone maker Nokia.

The brush is battery-powered with disposable batteries and has no charging port.
"There is limited real estate on the bathroom in terms of charging stations," said Mr Balooch.
He added that the device is water resistant but not fully waterproof and will be marketed as a luxury product when it launches later this year.
It says the planned £500m development next to the Madejski Stadium, has not adequately assessed the impact to wildlife in the adjacent Foudry Brook.
Plans for the 20,000 sq m site, which could include an ice rink and a park, were released in February.
The developer said it would respond to concerns in the coming weeks.
Objections to the proposed Reading FC development - called Royal Elm Park - have been raised over how shade from the high-rise tower blocks - some of which will be 270ft (82 metres) in height - will affect habitation in Foudry Brook.
Reading Green Party councillor Rob White said: "If you put high-rise buildings on top of the river bank, that's going to shade the sensitive river environment.
"It could fundamentally change the habitat and change what is there."
Environment Agency planning advisor Michelle Kidd said: "We object to the proposed development as submitted because the assessment and mitigation of the risks to nature conservation are inadequate.
"We will maintain our objection until the applicant has supplied information to demonstrate that the risks posed by the development can be satisfactorily addressed."
Reading FC has said it is working with Reading Borough Council to resolve the issues raised by the Environment Agency.
A spokesperson added: "For a project of this scale it is normal part of the planning application process for [bodies that are consulted] to request clarification and additional information as discussions continue.
The famous green benches were packed with enthusiastic young Parliamentarians, presided over by Commons Speaker John Bercow.
Topics debated included religious discrimination, mental health services and the living wage.
But the members chose racial and religious discrimination as their national campaign issue.
The day was full of energy, laughter and passion not usually seen in such abundance in the Commons, particularly on a Friday when the chamber is usually virtually deserted.
There was also a lot of clapping - normally banned in the chamber - hugs and even some tears.
A record number of young people - over 950,000 - voted to choose the five topics that were debated.
The event marked the beginning of Parliament Week, which aims to increase awareness of the UK's Parliamentary democracy.
Shamim Miah started the first debate on tackling racism and religious discrimination saying real equality can only come about "through our actions in our communities."
He went on to quote Martin Luther King, saying "I have a dream", and invited Member of Youth Parliament (MYPs) to join the fight against racism and religious discrimination.
During the mental health debate Saffron Worrell gave a passionate speech, saying: "The campaign means so much to me because it symbolises what young people have to fight for.
"We need to feel valued, we need to feel happy, we need to feel like the future is going to be bright. And some young people don't feel that way."
She added that people with mental health problems were more likely to end up in jail than under mental health care.
In the afternoon session they discussed a curriculum to prepare for life, the Living Wage for everyone, not just the over 25s as proposed by the government, and what the Magna Carta means to young people on its 800th anniversary.
On the living wage, Caitlin Smith said: "I have a Saturday job I work on Saturday afternoons and my hourly pay is £3.79.
"That means that my dad pays more in petrol to drive me to that job than I actually earn… we have a democratic mandate to support this issue."
Monica Yianni, gave a speech in rhyming verse, saying "we need a new Magna Carta, you can call it what you will.
"No living creature no matter where, should have to foot the bill.
"It doesn't matter who you are, nor where you are from, nor your gender, your race your religion. We all just need to get along."
In his closing speech, Minhaz Abedin said: "I was going to start this speech with we made it, but then I realised it was a bit better than that, 969,992 young people made it.
"Every person in this chamber has witnessed something historic today, so let us take a second to realise what we have actually accomplished.
"Today we represented the voice of nearly a million people. Today we empowered a generation. Today, we made a difference."
Members of the Youth Parliament chose to make tackling racism and religious discrimination their priority UK-wide campaign for next year. This won with 150 votes, beating a campaign for the living wage with 117 votes.
They also chose the mental health services motion as their devolved (English only) campaign. This won with 117 votes, beating a motion on improving the school curriculum, with 110 votes, and a campaign for better public transport, which received 43.
Minister for Civil Society Rob Wilson confirmed the Youth Parliament will be able to sit in the Commons until 2020.
He said: "I can't escape noticing that the house has been a very different place today. From glancing around I can see that there is an almost equal split in today's attendance between male and female MYPs.
"And a similarly representative proportion of MYPs in terms of ethnicity. Today Parliament physically resembles the body of people it represents with much greater accuracy."
His comments were met with loud applause, cheers and whooping, as had many other speeches throughout the day. Mr Wilson joked: "If only I could get my fellow MPs to give me a round of applause, instead of shouting at me."
Each member of the 279 strong Youth Parliament from across the country has been elected to represent their constituency.
They are more representative of the UK than their adult counterparts in terms of gender, ethnicity and background.
Namir Chowdhury, 17, member of Youth Parliament said: "The opportunity to debate these topics in such a prestigious chamber is a true honour, and a credit to the inspirational work that young people, and the youth workers and our partners, have done over the last year.
"We will be remembered for generations because we brought real change. Now, it's time to make the people we represent proud."
Commons speaker John Bercow was in his usual seat presiding over the debates. He said he was impressed by the quality of the speeches and points raised. Concluding the day he said: "each and every year you perform magnificently."
Deputy Commons leader, Labour's Chris Bryant, and Conservative MP Therese Coffey opened the debate.
Members of Youth Parliament tweets of their excitement throughout the day.
Secretary General Klaus Welle said: "It's extremely important that people do not speak too fast." Interpreters had made that request, he added.
Thousands of interpreters and translators work in EU institutions, to cope with 24 official languages.
The parliament has about 330 staff interpreters and 1,800 freelancers.
In addition, the parliament employs about 700 translators, who translate more than 100,000 pages each month.
The most recent languages to be made official were Croatian (in 2013), Irish, Bulgarian and Romanian (all in 2007).
Interpreters translate orally, in real time. But Mr Welle said some were overburdened and others under-employed.
"The average amount of time in the interpreter's booth is 10 hours... But we need more fairness between interpreters - the individual tally varies between six and 16 hours in the booth," Mr Welle said.
The scope of translation work in the EU was unique, he said. "Even at the UN you only have interpretation in six languages."
"It's also extremely important for interpreters that people speak their own language," he told the parliament's budgetary control committee.
"If they speak a foreign language the quality of interpretation goes down. You hear interpreters making requests to you: 'Please speak more slowly, speak your own language.'"
The parliament's budget for interpreters is €45m and another €9m for translations done externally.
The European Commission - where EU laws are drafted - has 600 staff interpreters and 3,000 freelance interpreters. The Commission's total staff is about 33,000.
The club have made contact with Tim Sherwood as they look to replace Harry Redknapp, who resigned last week, and have placed Ramsey in temporary charge.
"If you got offered the chance to coach a Premier League team you would jump at the chance," said Ramsey.
"But, more importantly for me, is that QPR avoid relegation regardless of whether I am here or anybody else."
QPR lost 1-0 to Southampton in Ramsey's first game in caretaker charge and his second game will be at Sunderland on Tuesday.
Asked if he thought Sherwood would be appointed, Ramsey said: "I know that director of football Les Ferdinand, chairman Tony Fernandes and the owners will go through a process of elimination with other candidates.
"I'm sure the fans would want to see a transparent procedure that allows us to bring the best person in."
QPR centre-back Rio Ferdinand has not played since a 3-0 FA Cup defeat at home to Sheffield United on 3 January but is set to start at Sunderland on Tuesday.
Bobby Zamora is also likely to figure at the Stadium of Light as fellow striker Charie Austin is out injured. Centre-back Richard Dunne and full-back Nedum Onuoha are also both out.
"Rio was always in my plans for Tuesday's game. We spoke about it last week and he understands," said Ramsey.
"I said it last week, anyone who is fit and available and showing the right attitude and desire in training will be in contention.
"Rio's trained hard and applies himself superbly. He'll start at Sunderland, as will Bobby."
QPR have lost all 11 away games so far in the Premier League this season.
"I think there's a little bit of psychology when we're away, but the players are determined to turn the away form around," added Ramsey.
Since October 2015, emergency response time targets have been scrapped for all but the most life-threatening cases.
Health Minister Vaughan Gething said the trial which focused more on patient outcomes would now be made permanent.
The Welsh Tories claimed the system did not treat all suspected heart attack and stroke calls seriously enough.
Calls are categorised as red, amber or green - with red being immediately life-threatening calls such as cardiac arrest or choking.
Five per cent of calls were classed as red in the most recently published statistics.
In those cases, 65% of ambulances are expected to arrive within eight minutes. In the nine months to January, more than 75% were reached within the target time.
An independent evaluation report said: "Overall, there is agreement that the service is much more clinically focused, rather than simply being operationally driven and no-one would wish to see a return to the previous operating model."
Before the trial, a larger percentage of calls had been classed as red and the 65% target was repeatedly missed.
The report said there should be a review of the categories outside red, in particular the amber group.
"There is concern that this group is too large and not sufficiently discriminatory in terms of prioritising patients with high acuity illness, and that for some calls this is resulting in unacceptably long waits," the report said.
It added that there was a "very clear and consistent view expressed in the qualitative study and staff survey that it is likely some amber category patients are being disadvantaged".
Ambulance trust operations director Richard Lee said: "While we are satisfied with our progress to date, we know there is still work to be done, particularly for patients in our amber category, and that is certainly our focus moving forward."
Mr Gething said the ambulance service had "improved its performance significantly" since the changes.
"The independent evaluation published today backs our decision to take the bold step to adopt the new model, following the successful pilot.
"The fact they found there to be clear and universal acknowledgement, both from within the ambulance service and external partners, that moving to the new model was appropriate and the right thing to do, is excellent news."
Interest from Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Chile had been attracted by the pilot, Mr Gething added, as well as England and Scotland.
Welsh Conservative health spokeswoman Angela Burns was critical, saying: "It is hardly surprising that the Welsh Labour Government are to give permanence to this new model that allows roughly 96% of all ambulance calls to go unmeasured, betraying a staggering lack of accountability.
"The worst feature by far of this model is that many cases, including heart attacks and strokes, do not currently qualify for the most urgent response category unless patients have stopped breathing or their hearts have stopped beating."
The 23-year-old England player led fans in three chants which mocked rivals Tottenham. He later apologised.
Wilshere was found guilty by the FA of making and/or inciting comments which brought the game into disrepute.
He had a similar outburst last year, and has been "severely warned" by the FA about his future conduct.
Wilshere admitted a misconduct charge after taking to the microphone during the parade last month.
He was spoken to by Arsenal staff after this latest incident but the club said they would not be taking action.
The Gunners secured a record-breaking 12th FA Cup win by beating Aston Villa 4-0 at Wembley on 30 May.
Hundreds of mourners lined the main street in Ecclefechan in south-west Scotland as the cortege left the village ahead of a funeral service in Dumfries.
Cpl Hoole was 26 and a member of The Rifles regiment. He had served two tours in Afghanistan.
He collapsed and died during a training run in Brecon in Mid Wales on 19 July.
A police investigation into his death is continuing.
Before his funeral a hearse was led by a lone piper and carried floral tributes spelling Josh.
The procession then made its way to the Crichton Memorial church in Dumfries, where the coffin was carried by a military bearer party.
Cpl Hoole's brother Tyrone, 27, lined up with Army colleagues to carry the union flag-draped coffin into church.
A military guard of honour stood outside the church and soldiers saluted as the pallbearers filed past.
A piper played a lament outside prior to the start of the service.
His brother also read the eulogy along with his grandfather John Craig and Captain Ian Cullen from the brothers' regiment.
Padre Paul Swinn, Senior Chaplain, The School of Infantry, led the service, which opened with Amazing Grace.
Prayers included the regimental prayer for The Rifles and The Lord's Prayer.
Coldplay's Yellow was played during the service and mourners, including scores of uniformed soldiers, left the church to Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day.
The funeral ceremony was followed by a private committal for close friends and family at Roucan Loch Crematorium.
Days after Mr Nisman's body was found on 18 January, Ms Fernandez said his death was part of an intelligence "operation" to harm her government.
On Monday, Ms Fernandez announced the creation of a new body to replace the Intelligence Secretariat (SI), more widely known by its previous initials, Side.
She said the leadership of the new Federal Intelligence Agency would be chosen by the government but would be subject to senate approval.
"We must work to reform the Argentine intelligence system because the one we have has not served the interests of the nation," she announced in a national address.
The SI is one of Argentina's most feared and hated state agencies.
Created in 1946 by Argentina's strongman General Juan Domingo Peron, it was originally a civilian intelligence agency called the Information Division.
According to journalist Uki Goni, its first task was to arrange the post-war transport of Nazi war criminals to Argentina.
The service evolved into a secret police force under Argentina's military rule (1976-1983), and was used by the military junta to track down opponents and spy on anyone considered subversive.
That included students, trade unionists and left-wing activists.
Since then, the SI has been viewed by Argentines as a seedy, dark and powerful organization.
Critics allege that following the return to democracy in 1983, the SI changed into a spy agency used by successive governments to monitor the activities of opponents, journalists, judges and prosecutors.
Intelligence expert Luis Alberto Somoza told the BBC that in the past years the SI was used mainly for political or personal espionage.
"Everyone in power used their intelligence activities for their own purposes and now they are paying the price," he said.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange told Argentine news site Infobae the country had one of "the most aggressive surveillance regimes" in Latin America.
Ms Assange also warned that the government of President Fernandez had hired a large number of "surveillance companies".
The Civil Rights Association of Argentina and other NGOs have expressed their concern at what they see as a lack of control over the intelligence services.
The sole parliamentary body in charge of supervising their activities, a commission led by a governing party legislator, met only twice in 2014 and has been inactive for a year, according to reports in the local press.
The number of people currently working for the Intelligence Secretariat is kept secret, as is the amount of specific funding it receives from the government.
Last December, President Fernandez replaced the agency's long-serving heads with some of her close allies.
Government officials say Mr Nisman's death and the alleged plot against the government might be related to this reshuffle.
The president's critics say the creation of the Federal Intelligence Agency alone will not be a safeguard against future misuse of the intelligence services.
They question Ms Fernandez's plans to move oversight of all wiretaps from the intelligence services to the General Attorney's office, pointing to the close ties between the government and the current General Attorney.
Opponents also fear the government will continue its spying activities, merely moving it from the civilian spy agency to the armed forces.
As evidence, they point to the nomination of intelligence expert Gen Cesar Milani to the post of army chief and the fact she has since assigned the largest portion of Argentina's annual intelligence budget to the army.
So while plans to disband the feared SI were widely welcomed, Argentines appear doubtful whether the creation of a new agency will be the answer.
Kathryn Smith, 23, was sentenced in April to 24 years for the murder of 21-month-old Ayeeshia Jane Smith.
She was attacked by two inmates at HMP Foston Hall women's prison in Derbyshire last month.
Derbyshire Police said: "Officers visited the victim, who suffered minor injuries and the matter is being dealt with by the prison."
More on Kathryn Smith attack and updates from Stoke & Staffordshire
"There is no evidence a weapon was used... and the prison began disciplinary action against those involved," said a spokesman for the Prison Service.
Smith's former partner, Matthew Rigby, 22, was jailed for three years and six months after being found guilty of causing or allowing Ayeeshia's death.
Ayeeshia collapsed at her mother's flat in Britannia Drive, in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire in May 2014.
Her heart had ripped due to the force of a fatal blow - a type of injury usually only found in crash victims.
But she had suffered many other injuries, including a bleed on the brain, in the months before she was killed.
Ayeeshia was known to social services at Derbyshire County Council all her life.
Her pregnant mother was found living in a garage in Overseal before being moved into supported housing in nearby Swadlincote.
Her father, Ricky Booth, said he had "made calls to social services several weeks before AJ died warning them that she was at "serious risk".
A serious case review is being carried out by the Derbyshire safeguarding children's board.
Smith, had most recently lived at Sandfield Road, Nottingham, and Rigby, at Sloan Drive, Nottingham.
Retired dressmaker Carole Wheadon, of Leckwith, Cardiff, has created little Santas, snowmen, trees and puddings.
The 79-year-old has also filled the little gifts with chocolates and sold them to raise funds for Velindre Cancer Centre.
"I knit a bit every day," said Mrs Wheadon.
She started knitting the figures to raise money for the specialist cancer hospital in Cardiff about five-years-ago after a friend lost her father to cancer.
"I volunteered my services because I wanted to help in any way I could," said Mrs Wheadon, who buys the wool herself and gets the patterns from the charity.
"People use them as decorations or in stockings, or even on a plate for Christmas dinner."
And, her knitting is not just for Christmas, as she creates crochet blankets for the charity to sell at their summer fayre, and at Easter she knits little chicks with eggs hidden inside.
The 37-year-old was due to board a flight for Turkey on Tuesday evening when he was held on suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism.
His arrest is not connected to Monday night's suicide bomb attack at Manchester Arena, Scotland Yard said.
Two residential addresses in north London are being searched.
The UK's terror threat level has been raised in the wake of the arena attack, which killed 22 people and injured 59.
It stands at its highest level of "critical", indicating further attacks may be imminent.
While extra-curricular music lessons are still free in some counties, others charge or are considering doing so.
It is claimed the number of children reaching youth orchestra standard is "declining at an alarming rate".
The Welsh Assembly Government said it was funding new initiatives, but delivery of lessons was down to individual schools and councils.
In 2006, a host of music stars including Bryn Terfel, Katherine Jenkins and rock band Super Furry Animals, wrote to former First Minister Rhodri Morgan, urging an end to the "postcode lottery" for provision of young people's music lessons outside the curriculum.
To coincide with BBC Radio Wales' Music Day, BBC Wales has asked each council about the services on offer.
The results show wide variations from county to county.
Flintshire council is cutting £177,000 from its budget for instrumental music teaching, which means it will no longer support the county youth brass band or a singing project for 2,500 primary school children.
Carmarthenshire council is reducing its budget by £120,000.
Powys is the only county that offers no council-funded music lessons at all.
The authority's music director Helen Wilding Smith said: "Provision for learning certain instruments is patchy or non-existent.
"As a result, the number of children reaching youth orchestra standard is declining at an alarming rate."
In Powys, many parents must pay the full cost of lessons, which varies from £10 to £26 per hour.
While instrumental lessons are still free in Conwy and Bridgend, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire are considering introducing charges in the near future.
Meanwhile, parents in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan face a 7% increase in the cost of instrumental lessons this year.
Emyr Wynne Jones, who is in charge of school music services in Carmarthen, chaired the assembly government's review which was published last year.
It found music service provision across Wales varied greatly in terms of range, take-up and affordability.
He said the cuts would mean "massive implications for schools".
"The danger with these things is that to keep the provision going we're going to have to begin increasing charges which by default is going to make events such as this more elitist and less inclusive," he said.
"The review identified an awful lot of good practice across Wales but it also identified circumstances that were deteriorating.
"The situation has deteriorated further and continues to deteriorate year on year.
"County councils and music services and friends and parents' associations are doing all they can to make sure the rich musical heritage we have here in Wales continues for many years to come.
"But unfortunately having a rich musical heritage doesn't necessarily guarantee a bright musical future."
The assembly government accepted most of the recommendations of the music services review.
A spokesperson said the development of musical skills was "firmly embedded in the foundation phase and all pupils from the age of seven to 14 years have opportunities to compose and perform music".
They added: "Delivery of the curriculum and extra curricular activities are very much a matter for schools working with partners and, in particular, the local authority-funded music services."
They said the assembly government was committed to raising the profile of music in schools and one example was its "can sing" initiative, promoting singing in primary schools backed up by £476,000 over three years.
They urge him to allow international observers to monitor Venezuela's legislative polls on 6 December.
Venezuela has invited monitors from regional body Unasur but has rejected those from the Organisation of American States (OAS).
The lawmakers also called for the release of jailed opposition leaders.
The letter to Mr Maduro was signed by 157 lawmakers from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru and the United States.
It says that "as citizens go to the polls, the presence of qualified international observers would permit all Venezuelans to have the highest degree of confidence in the integrity of the process and the electoral results".
It calls on Venezuela to allow monitors from the European Union and the OAS as well as Unasur to observe the election on 6 December.
Some polls suggest it may be the first time in 16 years that the governing coalition could lose its majority in the National Assembly, Venezuela's legislative body.
The lawmakers' letter was published just a day after OAS head Luis Almagro sent a similar request to Venezuelan officials.
Mr Almagro, who is from Uruguay, urged the head of Venezuela's National Electoral Council, Tibisay Lucena, to guarantee free and fair elections.
In his 18-page letter, Mr Almagro says that there "are reasons to believe that the conditions in which the people will vote on 6 December will not enjoy the level of transparency and electoral justice, that you, at the National Electoral Council, should guarantee".
Mr Almagro expressed concern about the number of opposition politicians barred from standing in the election.
He also cast doubts about the evidence used in the trial of opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez.
Mr Lopez was sentenced to 13 years and nine months in prison for incitement to violence during mass anti-government protests.
The prosecutor in the case, who has since left Venezuela, alleges that the trial was a sham to silence Mr Lopez.
The leader of Venezuela's National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello, reacted to Mr Almagro's letter by slamming the OAS.
He called the regional body "the most perverted, corrupt and discredited organisation in the world" and accused it of threatening the people of Venezuela.
Venezuela has been critical of the OAS in the past, saying that it is dominated by the United States, with which Venezuela has rocky relations.
Two-time All Star-winning 'keeper Paul Durcan is overseas and McGinley has been handed the number one jersey for the first round tie in Ballybofey.
Experienced defender Eamon McGee is not named in manager Rory Gallagher's team but captain Michael Murphy starts despite doubts over his fitness.
Donegal are aiming to reach the Ulster final for a sixth year in a row.
Donegal (v Fermanagh): MA McGinley; P McGrath, N McGee, K Lacey; R McHugh, F McGlynn, A Thompson; R Kavanagh, H McFadden; L McLoone, M McElhinney, O MacNiallais; P McBrearty, M Murphy, M O'Reilly.
It comes as Nottinghamshire Police said a 25% cut in community support officer numbers was needed to meet budget cuts.
Unison said it believed an above-2% rise in its share of council tax would be backed in a public referendum.
However, Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping said no such vote had ever succeeded.
Due to government cuts, the force is having to save £2.4m from its budget, he said.
The force plans to shut four police stations and five front counters but also has said it will reduce its 319 PCSOs by 72.
By law, if any part of the tax is to rise by 2% or more, the move must be put to a public vote.
Unison's Dave Ratchford said: "The commissioner himself did a consultation last year with 4,000 Nottingham residents.
"Of these, 67% said they were willing to pay additional money to protect police services and 82% said they were against further cuts."
But Mr Tipping said experience showed people would not back them in a vote.
"Just two weeks ago there was a referendum in Bedfordshire to put up the police precept and it was rejected by 70% of the population," he said.
"I don't think people will vote for an increase. I am more than happy to discuss it but there has not been one public body that has won this sort of vote."
Separately, a report from HMIC has found the force is making good progress towards achieving the savings required while maintaining an effective service to the public.
About 6,000 of the charity's donors in Northern Ireland were affected by the "administrative error".
Concern says it will pay back the money taken and any bank charges incurred.
A total of 24,700 people across the UK were affected. Supporters of the charity in the Republic of Ireland did not experience the error.
The charity's UK executive director, Rose Caldwell, said: "We apologise unreservedly for the error and any problems this may have caused".
"As soon as we became aware of the problem, we took immediate action to rectify it by contacting donors directly.
"We are conducting a rigorous investigation into how this error happened to ensure it will never happen again.
"Without the support of our donors, Concern would not be able to deliver its life-saving humanitarian work to vulnerable people worldwide."
The organisation is urging those affected to get in touch with their bank as soon as possible to process what is known as an indemnity claim - the fastest way to be refunded.
If for some reason people cannot file an indemnity claim, then Concern says it will process the refund.
However, that method will take longer.
The Bluebirds are two points off a play-off spot with seven games remaining after their win over Derby County.
Slade's men visit Turf Moor on Tuesday night to face league leaders Burnley, unbeaten in their last 16 matches.
"We have showed we can cope with pressure," Slade told BBC Radio Wales.
"I think the players have shown that on several occasions."
Slade feels Cardiff have done well in the biggest games of the campaign, despite describing Turf Moor as the "hardest" place to visit in the Championship.
"On Saturday we won in front of a fantastic crowd and were pleased we put a smile on their faces," said Slade after Cardiff attracted their biggest gate of the season.
"We have produced in big games, against Brighton, Ipswich, Middlesbrough and again on Saturday.
"The lads have a real spring in their step now. The prize is big. With seven games to go, there is still a prize there for us.
"We want to take the opportunities when they come along and take this season all the way.
"Burnley is a tough game, no-one gives you anything on a plate, but we are grateful that we can fight on and have this opportunity."
Burnley boss Sean Dyche expects a tough game from the Bluebirds.
"Cardiff pose a challenge. They are hanging around that play-off zone and they want to push into the play-offs so they've got their own challenges this season and we've got ours, but we can only concern ourselves with ourselves," he told the BBC.
"I like Russell Slade and I think there is an honesty to his words.
"In Cardiff we had to display character to get a point and I am sure it will be the same."
The baby's grandmother was walking alongside the river, near Victoria Street, on Friday when the pram she was pushing fell in the water.
James Williams and Andy Hill jumped in the river while Mickey Bramall fetched a life buoy before giving the youngster first aid.
West Mercia Police said the men's quick thinking averted a tragedy.
"We heard an almighty scream and shriek, turned around and saw the pram had gone over the edge," said Mr Williams.
"We instantly turned around and myself and Andy jumped straight into the river and Mickey went to get the life buoy."
Mr Hill said he was "really panicking" but said he did "what any parent would do" in his situation.
Mr Williams said it was a struggle to remove the baby from the pushchair because she was strapped in but they managed to get her to safety.
The youngster was taken by ambulance to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and has since made a full recovery.
Mr Williams said the hundreds of messages of praise they had received following the rescue were reward in themselves.
The baby's mother told BBC Midlands Today it was difficult to put into words how grateful she was.
Det Insp Paul Mathison said the men were "incredibly heroic".
Mr Bercow's annual salary is £150,236, according to the Commons website, while David Cameron gets £149,440.
Unlike the PM and ministers, Mr Bercow accepted an additional 0.62% increase to the salary for his official role.
The rise has apparently been triggered by an obscure part of the legislation underpinning the pay of officeholders.
This means it has increased in line with the average granted to senior civil servants at the end of each parliament.
David Cameron has given up his non-contributory half-salary prime ministerial pension but Mr Bercow has held on to his - although he has said he will not draw it until he turns 65.
In addition, Mr Bercow does not appear to pay any taxable benefit for his grace-and-favour home, unlike the prime minister.
A spokeswoman for Mr Bercow said: "The Speaker's salary is proactively published on the Parliament website.
"This being the case, there is nothing to add."
MPs received a 10% pay increase in July after a ruling by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.
Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas founded the group, who use everyday objects as musical instruments, in Brighton in 1991.
They have since performed across the world and were part of the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony.
The honorary Doctor of Arts degrees were presented on Monday at a graduation ceremony at Brighton Dome.
The ceremony was the first of five days of degree presentations to more than 5,300 students.
Cresswell and McNicholas own the Old Market Theatre in Brighton, the first venue where they performed together, which they bought in 2010.
They said they were "humbled" to have been recognised for their work.
The university also awarded a Master of Letters degree to journalist and broadcaster Kathryn Flett.
Two stands at Old Trafford were evacuated, before bomb disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion.
Some supporters travelled from as far afield as Azerbaijan and Sierra Leone for the match against Bournemouth.
The police response was praised by some while others criticised how the evacuation was dealt with.
Johnny Escott, from Salford, had just got into the Stretford end of the stadium when the evacuation was announced over the tannoy.
"Everyone just looked at each other like 'Was that a mistake?'," he said. "It was a bit scary but no-one really started to panic massively, I walked past a few kids who were crying but everyone seemed quite calm".
Mr Escott said he found out information from Twitter as he "got told nothing at the stadium" but said the stewards "probably did as much as they could".
July Holmes, from Hyde, said she "didn't get a great deal of information" when she was stopped from entering the ground and relied on people at home telling her what was going on.
But she said the fans "were amazing, they were really calm and there was no rushing or pushing. It was controlled well."
Andrea Skelly, 47, from Bury, was on her way into the ground when the announcement was made and was unhappy with the way police dealt with incident.
She said only one police officer was directing the crowd and was telling people to move back towards the car park but that it was blocked by burger vans and the mass of people.
"The problem was that you couldn't get out... apparently the gate was blocked and we were stuck for about 20 minutes," she said.
Greater Manchester's assistant chief constable John O'Hare, stressed the priority "was to ensure the safety of everyone in the stadium and surrounding area".
An "operation red code" alert was heard over the tannoy inside the ground at 14:40 BST and the players who were warming up left the field, but Mrs Skelly said fans outside were not told what was going on.
She said the "evacuation process was not very good at all" and "stewards were there but not saying what the problem was", which led to speculation and rumour.
Manchester United said it had called off the game "on police advice", but has not commented on the evacuation procedure.
One fan, who called himself Moses, had travelled to Old Trafford all the way from Sierra Leone.
"Sadly they postponed the match - I was so sad about that... but they organised so I can stay another week and I'm excited about that!," he said.
Ian Stirling, of the Manchester United Supporters' Trust, said "the lad's distraught... it's probably his only opportunity to come".
But he said some trust members were paying out of their own pockets to change his flights, put him up for the week and were trying to get him a ticket to the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday, adding "so out of all the despair today, the lad's made up".
The game would have seen United vying with Manchester City, whose kick-off was also at 15:00 BST, for a place in the Champions League.
The Premier League said it was looking to rearrange the match as soon as possible.
Following release of the US government's latest estimate, the Deepwater Horizon disaster is confirmed as the biggest ever accidental release of oil into the oceans.
It exceeds the 1979 Ixtoc I leak - also in the Gulf of Mexico. It's comfortably bigger than tanker releases such as the Torrey Canyon and Amoco Cadiz, and 20 times the size of the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill with which it is often compared.
Now that BP finally appears to have the flow under control, an important question - perhaps the most important of all - is being asked: it may have been the biggest, but was it the worst?
It is a simple-sounding question, but devilishly hard to answer.
What impacts are we talking about - on the coast, on the ocean surface, or the sea floor?
Which species are we including - fish, shrimp, insects, plants, birds, whales, turtles - or some combination of them all?
Are we looking long-term or short-term, local or regional - and are we to include or exclude impacts from the use of chemical dispersants and fires and the other containment measures?
One thing that is clear is that different parts of the Gulf coast have seen very different levels of impact.
Two weeks ago, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) announced that so little oil was being seen in a zone covering more than 26,000 square miles (67,000 sq km) - a quarter of US territorial waters in the Gulf - that fishing could safely re-start.
Yet in other areas, particularly along the coast, people are struggling daily to nurse oil-soaked birds back to health.
Many commentators were saying during the early days of the episode that the ecological impacts would depend largely on the vagaries of winds and tides; and so it has proven.
Noaa has said that about three-quarters of the 4.9 million barrels leaked into the Gulf waters has already vanished from the area - through evaporation, capture, burning, or dispersion.
But that still leaves more than a million barrels at sea.
As a formerly significant US figure said in the context of a different Gulf: there are known unknowns, and unknown unknowns.
Andy Nyman, an associate professor of Wetland Wildlife Ecology at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, has spent years conducting laboratory and field research into the possible impacts of oil spills on the coastal wetlands that are so vital as nurseries for fish and shrimp, nesting grounds for birds and as coastal defences.
"It's going to be difficult to pick up the impacts of the oil spill and separate those from natural seasonal variability," he says.
"Impacts we'll be looking for in the short term include the loss of wetland grasses and reductions in fish and other things that live in the water.
"In the longer term we could see reduced productivity in these populations, but we may not be able to detect it because the annual variations are quite large."
He relates taking two trips along the coastal fringe in recent weeks.
In one zone, they could see virtually no impact on the grasses. In the other, a stretch of coast about 10km (six miles) long showed significant damage, with swathes of grass brown and shedding leaves.
Yet on many plants, new green stems were sprouting - just as happened on the grasses in Professor Nyman's experimental plot after he had coated them in oil to see how they would perform.
How the grasslands will fare in the long term is definitely a known unknown.
Time's lens will also reveal the impact on fish and shrimp, so vital to the local economy.
But again, the stock varies naturally from season to season; so picking out a specific impact of the oil leak could prove difficult.
Out in the Gulf itself, the impact on bluefin tuna is potentially significant. The spawning grounds have been covered in oil at times, and there are fears that an entire year's brood may be missing.
But that will not become clear for several years. Estimating the marine impacts will also be complicated by the fact that closing the fisheries has given stocks a respite from nets and hooks.
So how much do we know?
Several hundred thousand seabirds died from the Exxon Valdez spill - possibly as many as 600,000, according to some estimates.
By contrast, the number of birds found dead along the Gulf of Mexico coast is a little over 3,000.
Just over 500 sea turtles and 64 dolphins have also been found dead.
But that is partly a function of the leak's geography; turtles would not have been affected by the Exxon Valdez simply because they do not frequent the coasts of Alaska.
Conversely, the Exxon Valdez claimed the lives of several thousand sea otters - which do not live along the Gulf coast.
An important unknown - about which very little is known - is the importance of flows of oil deep underwater that were detected a couple of months ago and that almost certainly have dispersants mixed in.
The use of these chemicals is controversial. They keep the oil away from shore - but the cost is paid in clogged wads of crude that sink to the sea floor.
Paul Anastas, assistant administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Research and Development, acknowleged that dispersants were far from perfect, but said their use here had been, on balance, positive.
"The purpose of the dispersants is to put the oil in a form that can be broken down and degraded by natural microbes," he said.
"Once it makes to it to shore it is causing an impact on our most sensitve ecosystem that is extremely difficult to clean up and has an extreme negative impact on the ecosystem of the Gulf."
The EPA has just finished a batch of tests showing that dispersants mixed with oil are no more toxic to marine life in the Gulf than oil on its own - contradicting the claims of some critics.
The Deepwater Horizon operation saw the injection of 771,272 gallons (2,919,582 litres) of dispersant at depth, in addition to the 1,072,514 gallons (4,059,907 litres) used on the surface.
The impact of the deep water deployment is definitely an unknown unknown, as it has not been used on anything like this scale before.
Expeditions are planned to investigate the impact on reefs, but they have yet to report.
Other important investigations are going on into how quickly the oil is breaking down in the warm Gulf waters - something that should in principle happen much faster than in the icy conditions of Alaska's Prince Edward Sound, or the Cornish seas where the Torrey Canyon spilt its cargo in March 1967.
That rate will have practical implications for the seabirds that will come to winter along the Gulf coasts - the piping plover, the blue-winged teal and the northern pintail - because it will largely determine how much oil will be there to greet them.
Two decades on, the ecological impacts of Exxon Valdez are still being counted.
And while the warmer Gulf waters are unlikely to take quite so long to settle, even a preliminary reckoning will have to wait until the first wintering birds have returned, shrimping boats have cast their nets again right across their grounds, and the wetland grasses have had a first chance to shed their oily carapaces and sprout anew in a fresh Spring.

On the issues of immigration, national security and the financial industry, candidates traded sharp barbs and engaged in a substantive exchange of views.
The tensions underline the often perilous cross-currents within the party that the eventual nominee will have to contend with.
Here's a look at how it played out - and who likely ended up on top.
Amnesty or no amnesty? To deport or not to deport? A question about a US appeals court striking down Barack Obama's attempts at unilateral immigration reform set up the night's first pyrotechnics.
Donald Trump - The New Yorker owned the immigration in earlier debates and had the first crack at the topic again. He stood by his position that the US must deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country and build a wall on the US-Mexico border. He compared his plan to one advanced by President Dwight Eisenhower, which moved more than a million Mexicans back across the border. Left unsaid was the rather unappealing name for that 1954 programme, Operation Wetback.
Best line: "We are a country of laws. We need borders. We will have a wall. The wall will be built."
John Kasich - As he did throughout the evening, the Ohio governor flashed some sharp elbows and went on the attack.
"If you're not going to have my back," he told the moderators, "I'm going to have my back." He went on to say Trump's deportation plan was a "silly argument" and "not an adult argument".
Best line: "If people think that we are going to ship 11 million people who are law-abiding, who are in this country, and somehow pick them up at their house and ship them out of Mexico - think about the families. Think about the children."
Jeb Bush - The former Florida governor's strategy was clearly to turn any answer into an attack on Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton as early as possible, and he did that most effectively in his immigration response.
Like Kasich, he said mass deportations were unrealistic, adding that such a plan wasn't "embracing American values". Undocumented immigrants, he said, should be allowed to earn legal status if they pay a fine, learn English and avoid criminal acts.
Best line: "Even having this conversation sends a powerful signal. They're doing high-fives in the Clinton campaign right now when they hear this."
Ted Cruz - The Texas senator was asked about entitlement reform, but he decided he wanted to have the final say on immigration instead. He picked up Trump's immigration banner after the beating it took from Kasich and Bush, and delivered a rousing-to-the-base monologue that pushed his personal immigrant story and bashed liberal media elites all in one breath.
Best line: "For those of us who believe people ought to come to this country legally, and we should enforce the law, we're tired of being told it's anti-immigrant. It's offensive."
Winner: Cruz won the battle, but the man who didn't speak on the topic - Marco Rubio - likely won the war. The Florida senator was once a leading voice of immigration reform but backed off after the conservative base rebelled. By avoiding what could have been searching questions about being "soft" or indecisive on this issue, he effectively carried the day.
The economy was the supposed subject of the Fox Business debate, but it was foreign policy that prompted some of the most heated exchanges. After Ben Carson stumbled through an answer about Mr Obama's recent decision to send US special forces to Syria, the real action began.
Donald Trump: The real-estate mogul pulled no punches in criticising interventionism. He warned that if the US topples Bashar al-Assad in Syria, he could be replaced by someone much more dangerous.
"Look at Libya," he said. "Look at Iraq. Look at the mess we have after spending $2 trillion, thousands of lives, wounded warriors all over the place."
Best line: "We can't continue to be the policeman of the world. We are $19 trillion in debt, we have a country that's going to hell, we have an infrastructure that's falling apart."
Jeb Bush: In the last debate, Bush was panned for a ham-handed attempt to criticise Rubio on his Senate votes. This time around, he left the Florida senator untouched and instead focused all of his cross-stage swipes at Trump. "Donald's wrong on this," he said regarding Trump's Syria answer. "He is absolutely wrong on this."
He compared Trump's view that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be allowed to take out the so-called Islamic State as something akin to a board game like Monopoly. "That's not how the world works," he said.
Best line: "We're not going to be the world's policeman, but we sure as heck better be the world's leader."
Carly Fiorina: The former computer company executive joined the Trump pile-on, saying that he "fancies himself a very good negotiator" but he should know enough not to deal with Putin from a position of weakness.
She called for increased military spending, missile defence in Poland and expanded military exercises in the Baltic states to "make sure that Putin understands that the United States of America will stand with our allies".
Best line: "We must have a no-fly zone in Syria because Russia cannot tell the United States of America where and when to fly our planes."
Marco Rubio: The Florida senator has touted his Senate foreign policy experience on countless occasions and was the next to weigh in, throwing red meat to the Republican base.
Putin is nothing but a gangster. Obama treats Israel with less respect than he does Iran. Radical terrorist groups are threatening US interests across the globe. As always, the senator delivered a focused, smooth answer. For the fourth-straight debate, he emerged as a clear foreign policy winner.
Best line: "Either they win or we win, and we had better take this risk seriously. It is not going away on its own."
Rand Paul: The Kentucky senator was a Trump-style anti-interventionist before Trump rocketed on the scene. He has often appeared reluctant to advocate foreign policy views that place him at odds with many Republican voters, however. Perhaps in an acknowledgement that his chances of winning the nomination have all but faded, he was much more vocal on the subject this time.
He criticised Rubio for being willing to spend trillions of dollars on increased defence. He said a no-fly zone in Iraq was unrealistic. And he added the Iraq war was a mistake. Those positions have long been part of Paul's libertarian beliefs - and he finally started forcefully defending them.
Best line: "When you think it's going to be a good idea to have a no-fly zone over Iraq, realise that means you are saying we are going to shoot down Russian planes. If you're ready for that, be ready to send your sons and daughters to another war in Iraq."
Winner: The anti-interventionist wing of the Republican Party just isn't that big. Regardless of who won on debate points, Rubio, Bush and Fiorina just aren't going to lose when they offer a full-throated endorsement of US military prowess.
The bailouts of the financial sector during the 2008 economic collapse was one of the prime motivating factors behind the rise of the grass-roots conservative Tea Party - but it was also a programme initiated by George W Bush's Republican administration. The scars from that fight were once again apparent when moderator Neil Cavuto asked the candidates if they'd be in favour of future big-bank bailouts.
Ted Cruz: After a stretch where he had all but disappeared from the debate, the Texas senator came roaring back with a firm answer where the candidates before him like Rubio and Bush had equivocated. Cruz - who, it should be noted, is the husband of a Goldman Sachs partner - said he would "absolutely not" bail out big banks again.
Wall Street, he said, benefits from big government largess. He condemned the Federal Reserve as a bunch of "philosopher kings", blamed them for the recent economic collapse and called for a return to the gold standard.
Best line: "I have spent much of my adult life enforcing the law and defending the Constitution. And the problem that underlies all of this is the cronyism and corruption of Washington."
John Kasich: The Ohioan obviously had been looking for an opening to tout his credentials as an accomplished governor and former senior member of Congress, and he decided this was his chance.
He derided "philosophical concerns" like Cruz's and said that executives, when faced with a crisis, have to figure out how to help people in need. In the heated exchange that followed, Cruz accused Kasich of favouring big banks over Main Street, prompting the governor to explain that he would differentiate between those who could afford financial losses to those who couldn't - eliciting groans from the audience.
Best line: "Philosophy doesn't work when you run something. And I've got to tell you, on-the-job training for president of the United States doesn't work."
Winner: Cruz once again flashed his debating chops, forcing Kasich into the unenviable position of having to defend big banks - which even among Republicans isn't a popular place to be.
The bird was found in the Newbridge Road area of Lisnaskea on Saturday 7 February.
It is understood Ingar, which is a Norwegian name, was released in Killarney National Park in 2011 by the Golden Eagle Trust as part of a reintroduction programme.
The PSNI are working to establish the circumstances of the eagle's death.
The warning begins at 22:00 GMT on Saturday and ends at 10:00 on Sunday.
The ice could lead to difficult driving conditions on untreated roads and slippery conditions on pavements, the weather service warned.
Only the southernmost counties and parts of the most westerly counties are expected to escape.
Counties expected to be affected are Carmarthenshire, Powys, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Denbighshire, Gwynedd, Wrexham, Conwy, Flintshire, Anglesey, Monmouthshire, Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Neath Port Talbot, Rhondda Cynon Taff and Torfaen.
The teachers' pay body had argued that it cannot afford the increase awarded by the industrial court.
The dispute over teachers' pay goes back 18 years, with a pay deal struck in 1997 only partially fulfilled.
The government has not yet reacted and it is still not clear where the new money will come from.
The BBC's Abdinoor Maalim in Nairobi says the teachers were happy about the court's decision, which means that the lowest paid teacher should now get $240 (£150) a month.
Teachers had threatened to strike if the pay rise is not included in their next salary payment.
Earlier, police closed off a number of roads in the Broadmead area after the car was left outside Bridewell police station for about an hour.
Avon and Somerset Police said calling in the bomb disposal unit was part of the standard procedure and an assessment was under way.
The road closures have added to the Balloon Fiesta congestion.
Police said the car raised suspicion earlier this afternoon by a member of staff at the police station who thought it was "strange" after the car had been left there.
They also said the bomb disposal unit team had their own vehicles and equipment and while their investigation continued, the cordon would remain in place.
Avon and Somerset police said: "We're conducting enquiries to establish the owner of the car and as a precaution are also assessing it."
Road closures were put in place just before 16:00 BST on Sunday.
The roads affected are Bridewell St, Nelson St, Silver St, Union St, Rupert St & Haymarket.
Police added that cars parked in Rupert St car park can be collected.
Bus services run by First have also been affected by the Rupert St closure and diversions are being put in place.
The three men - aged 33, 41 and 47 - have been taken to a London police station for interview.
The Serious Fraud Office has issued search warrants for three properties in the South East of England - one in Surrey and two in Essex.
All three men are British nationals living in the UK, a statement said.
One of the men is said to be a banker, with the other two having worked for an inter-dealer broker.
In July, the SFO said it had formally launched a criminal investigation into the rigging of inter-bank lending rates.
These are the first arrests since the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission began looking into Libor fixing it suspects took place in the Autumn of 2008.
As well as dozens of individuals, a number of major banks are also being investigated by regulatory authorities in the UK and the US over attempts to manipulate the rate, one of the most important in the UK economy.
Bought in in the 1960s, the daily Libor rate is calculated from banks' estimates of how much it costs them to borrow from other banks, and is used as the basis for some retail bank and mortgage rates.
Since then, until the credit crisis at least, it has been used as the benchmark essentially used to judge just about any financial product based on cash deposits and lending.
In June, Barclays bank was fined £290m for attempting to manipulate the rate.
A report written by the Financial Services Authority's managing director Martin Wheatley in September said the Libor system was broken and in need of a complete overhaul, including criminal prosecutions for those who try to manipulate it.
Mr Wheatley said bankers guilty of fixing Libor in the future could be jailed.
Councillors in Scarborough will discuss plans to demolish the Futurist Theatre on 9 January.
Campaigners told a public meeting on Thursday they planned to form a charitable trust to run the theatre, which closed in 2014.
Scarborough Borough Council has not commented on the proposals.
The Conservative-run council's cabinet has previously judged the Futurist is not sustainable as a theatrical venue.

Adam Flynn, a Save our Futurist campaigner, said the venue could host large-scale musical productions.
He said: "If it was brought up to modern standards to allow these shows to come, then we could see huge economic benefits."
He added the group would need 12 to 18 months to allow it to raise around £40,000 to carry out a full feasibility study and develop a business plan.
Reports to be considered by the council on 9 January said that if it does not approve demolition costs of £4m, the building will remain in its current state of repair.
Only minimum repairs would be carried out in the future to ensure compliance with health and safety requirements, council officers warned.
The council plans to clear the site and stabilise a cliff behind the theatre to allow the land to be made available for redevelopment.

It is feared shopping alone is no longer enough to draw people onto the street.
The number of people visiting Princes Street has been falling for the last 20 years.
Planning rules currently mean only retail outlets are allowed along the mile-long street.
Councillors will meet on Thursday to make a decision on whether the smallest 25 shop units could be changed into cafes, bars and restaurants with outdoor seating areas on the pavement.
It is hoped a more continental style atmosphere could transform the street's fortunes.
Edinburgh City Council planning convenor, Councillor Ian Perry, told BBC Scotland: "If we look over the last 20 years, the footfall of Princes Street has been declining and it's been declining year on year, even despite the tramworks.
"So what we need to do is revitalise what we are offering in Princes Street. We want to change the retail mix to attract more people in."
With trams due to run along the street from summer next year, new regulations could be in place to allow outdoor dining from then.
Andy Neal, chief executive of Essential Edinburgh, said: "Essential Edinburgh are delighted this positive step for Princes Street is being taken.
"For city centres to survive they need to offer a great experience and a row of almost a mile with only shops does not deliver that.
"The chance to break for a chat with coffee or a glass of wine will deliver a much more pleasurable experience and allow the unique and stunning views to be enjoyed.
"It will also allow the street to be used into the evening. With later shop opening and places to eat, Princes St will be an even greater asset for Edinburgh."
David Birrell, chief executive at Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, said: "This is a great opportunity to boost business in Princes Street by being creative with the mix of food and drink offering to the people of Edinburgh and tourists.
"It is inevitable that the face of Edinburgh's flagship street will change as our culture evolves.
"Currently Princes Street is a shopping street to be proud of and this seems like a great opportunity to enhance the mix with restaurants and bars.
"What other city can offer all this directly opposite an iconic castle?"
Hugh Rutherford, chairman of the Edinburgh Business Forum, said: "Princes Street currently has a strong retail offering with a variety of outlets catering to all needs.
"The opportunity to complement this with quality food and drink establishments is to be welcomed as this with help drive footfall to the city centre and will be instrumental in bringing a new lease of life to this iconic thoroughfare."
The University of Sheffield bought the Henderson's Relish building on Leavygreave Road in the summer.
The university said it was to turn the former factory into a pub while retaining its distinctive signage.
Henderson's Relish, a local delicacy, was produced there from the late 19th Century until 2013 when a new site was developed near the city's Parkway.
More on this story and other news from Sheffield & South Yorkshire
Keith Lilley, of the university, said: "We know how much the old Henderson's building means to the people of Sheffield".
He said the university planned a competition for Sheffield architects to design a development retaining the original house at its centre.
Pamela Freeman of Henderson's said some of the company's history would be displayed within the new pub.
Henry Henderson began manufacturing the sauce from his home on Broad Lane in 1885. Production then moved to Leavygreave Road and remained in that building until 2013.
It is a spicy and fruity sauce marketed and sold mainly around South Yorkshire.

The US company had earlier raised the price it was offering for AstraZeneca to the equivalent of £50 a share, valuing the firm at £63bn.
But Astra said the new terms offered were, "inadequate, substantially undervalue AstraZeneca and are not a basis on which to engage with Pfizer".
If the deal were to go through it would be the biggest takeover of a UK company by a foreign firm.
AstraZeneca employs more than 51,000 staff worldwide, with 6,700 in the UK. Pfizer - whose drugs include Viagra - has a global workforce of more than 70,000, with 2,500 in the UK.
Announcing Pfizer's new offer, Pfizer chairman and chief executive Ian Read said the firm believed "that there is a highly compelling strategic, business and financial rationale for combining our businesses, with significant benefits for shareholders and stakeholders of both companies".
By Kamal AhmedBBC Business editor
When it was revealed on Monday that Pfizer was looking to bid for AstraZeneca, a major shareholder I spoke to said a £50 a share offer might just seal the deal by Friday. Well, he was half right. There was a £50 offer. But it didn't seal it.
AstraZeneca is betting that Pfizer has a little more in the tank, both in terms of the overall offer and the cash element. Shareholders would like more money up front and less of the offer paid out in Pfizer shares.
The American business is a willing buyer for three reasons. It has a large amount of cash to deploy that it doesn't want to repatriate to the US where there would be a hefty tax bill. Britain is highly attractive because of its low corporation tax levels and the tax incentives for scientific research. AstraZeneca has a potentially lucrative pipeline of cancer drugs.
There are always many acts to a deal of this size. I am sure this latest rejection is just one of them.
Finally, is the government interested in increasing its powers over foreign takeovers, as Lord Heseltine suggested this morning? According to Whitehall sources I have spoken to, I wouldn't hold your breath.
"We believe our proposal is responsive to the views of AstraZeneca shareholders and provides a sound basis upon which to arrive at recommendable terms for the combination of our two companies."
Pfizer also sent a letter to Prime Minister David Cameron to try to address concerns over the bid.
On Wednesday, four scientific bodies raised concerns about possible UK lab closures following a Pfizer deal, and a committee of MPs is considering an inquiry into the issue.
Pfizer told Mr Cameron it would go ahead with Astra's planned research and development (R&D) base in Cambridge, and retain its Macclesfield manufacturing facilities.
Pfizer also pledged that if the deal went ahead, 20% of the combined company's R&D workforce would be based in the UK.
The US firm said its commitments would be valid for five years, unless circumstances changed significantly.
Business Secretary Vince Cable told the BBC: "We've now received some assurances from the company that they will strengthen the British science base, they will protect British manufacturing.
"We need to look at that in detail, we need to look at the small print, we need to establish that it is binding, but as far as it goes, on the basis of what we've seen so far, it is welcome and encouraging."
On Friday, Conservative peer Lord Heseltine called for greater powers for the UK government to intervene in foreign takeovers if crucial UK interests were at risk.
On Monday it emerged that Pfizer had originally made a takeover approach for AstraZeneca in January, worth £46.61 a share, which was rejected.
The latest offer from Pfizer is a mixture of cash and shares equivalent to £50 per AstraZeneca share. If the deal goes through, Pfizer also wants to establish its corporate and tax residence in the UK, as well as its European headquarters.
AstraZeneca's board said the offer was too low, and that it believed a major driver for Pfizer's takeover was the move to establish a tax residence in the UK by changing its company structure.
"The large proportion of the consideration payable in Pfizer shares and the tax-driven inversion structure remain unchanged. Accordingly, the board has rejected the proposal," AstraZeneca said.
Leif Johansson, chairman of AstraZeneca, added that the company's product "pipeline" of new drugs was "rapidly progressing".
"Pfizer's proposal would dramatically dilute AstraZeneca shareholders' exposure to our unique pipeline and would create risks around its delivery," Mr Johansson said.
Heather Self, a tax expert at Pinsent Masons, told the BBC: "Pfizer want[s] to put a UK company on top of the whole group which is taking the whole company outside the US tax system."
US federal corporation tax is 35%, while the UK's rate is 21% and is due to be cut to 20% in 2015.
But Ms Self added that a significant tax gain for the UK would be unlikely.
"All it will mean is moving a few senior people here and having a few board meetings here. It doesn't mean anything for the UK tax industry," she said.
Labour shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna expressed concerns over job security for AstraZeneca staff.
"Pfizer has a very poor record on previous acquisitions. Do we really want a jewel in the crown of British industry, our second biggest pharmaceutical firm, to basically be seen as an instrument of tax planning?" he said.
The GMB union, which represents workers at AstraZeneca's Macclesfield plant, called for the proposed deal to be investigated on competition grounds and queried Pfizer's promises over UK jobs.
"Pfizer are said to have given undertakings to the UK Government as they increase the money they are offering the AstraZeneca shareholders," said Allan Black, GMB national officer for the chemicals industry.
"Similar undertakings were given by US multinationals before which have proved to be worthless."
The GMB also questioned how committed Pfizer was to manufacturing and R&D in the UK. In 2011, Pfizer laid off 1,500 staff from its research facility at Sandwich in Kent.
"Pfizer walked away from a purpose built manufacturing plant in an economic bleak spot in Kent with the loss of many jobs," Mr Black said.
The Institute of Directors (IoD) said that the government should not be involved, as the matter is for directors and shareholders to decide.
"The IoD does not support any extension of any national interest test for takeovers," said IoD director of corporate governance Roger Barker.
"Takeovers are primarily a matter for boards and shareholders to determine, not government."
The club have been at their current Plainmoor home, which is owned by Torbay Council, for 105 years, but have been approached by an American firm about building a new ground.
Under the deal, the developers would pay for the stadium in exchange for council land to build housing on.
The new ground would have a synthetic 4G pitch and a capacity of 6,000.
"The developers have met the council, it's at an early stage and it depends on what land can be built on," Torquay chairman David Phillips told BBC Sport.
"The land for housing would be wherever is available, the council have to build 10,000 houses in the next 20 years."
Torquay opened a new stand at Plainmoor in 2012 and have agreed to share their ground with National League South side Truro City next season while the Cornish club builds a new stadium.
The Gulls are currently second-from-bottom of the National League, having been relegated from the Football League two seasons ago.
The club had to make drastic cuts after lottery-winning former owner Thea Bristow left the club last summer, with a new board taking over the club and being forced to close the academy and slash the playing budget.
The planned site for the new stadium would be a 42-acre piece of land in the Barton area of Torquay which has already been earmarked for sport.
It is unlikely that Plainmoor would be redeveloped for housing as the land it occupies is deemed to be a community asset for sport.
"We could be moving within 18 months or two years, the developers feel the building of the stadium would take no more than six months," added Phillips.
Torquay manager Kevin Nicholson has spent the best part of the last decade with the Gulls as both a player and coach.
"It would be a massive step forward for the club," he told BBC Sport.
"Having your own new stadium, you only have to look at Shrewsbury Town, where they dropped to and where they are now and how their new stadium has played a part in that.
"I think the potential there is huge, it really would be a massive thing for the football club's long-term future."
Parliament says it has no choice but to stop the chimes of Big Ben, after 157 years of nearly unbroken service, to prevent its mechanism from failing.
The Elizabeth Tower, which houses it, will also be repaired during the three year project, which starts next year.
The clock will not be stopped for the entire three year period, a spokesman told BBC News.
"The clock mechanism will need to be stopped for several months in order to carry out essential maintenance," said the spokesman.
"During this period there will be no chimes. We are also investigating whether or not the chiming will have an effect on operatives working at high level, which will need to be taken into consideration. Striking and tolling will be maintained for important events."
The Big Ben nickname originally referred to the 13.5 tonne Great Bell within the tower, but has long been the commonly used name for the clock and tower as a whole.
The refit could see the clock faces stripped of the black and gold paint that was applied in the 1980s to return them to their Victorian appearance, which is thought to feature green and gold paint.
Parliament says in an extensive Q&A on its website that parts of the Great Clock have become worn and require urgent investigation and repair, and there is a high risk that the clock would fail if the problems are not addressed soon.
There are concerns about the pendulum's accuracy, and the suspension spring, which holds the pendulum in place, needs to be replaced.
Steve Jaggs, Keeper of the Clock, said: "This project will enable us to give one of Britain's most famous landmarks the TLC it so desperately needs and deserves."

Standing next to Big Ben as it strikes 10 o'clock is a staggering experience.
Despite the earplugs provided, your can feel the vibrations running through your body long after the bongs have died away.
It's been 157 years since the famous clock - a symbol of London, standing 96m above the Houses of Parliament - began service and it needs work to preserve it.
"It's been running 24/7," says Paul Roberson, one of the clockmakers at the Palace of Westminster. "You wouldn't run a motor 24/7 for 150 years without maintaining it.
Striking out: It's time to repair Big Ben's home
The Elizabeth Tower, which is visited by 12,000 people a year, is structurally sound but work is needed to fix cracks in its water-damaged masonry, cast-iron roof and belfry and the frame which holds the bells.
The Ayrton Light, which tops the tower and shines to indicate that Parliament is sitting, also needs to be fully dismantled and restored.
Work will also take place to bring the building up to modern health and safety standards.
A lift will be installed in one of the ventilation shafts to reduce the time it takes to evacuate an injured person and improve access for disabled people who are unable to use the 334 stone steps.
A basic washroom will also be installed - there are currently no toilet facilities or running water in the tower - and the lights illuminating the clock dials and the belfry will be replaced with low energy LEDs.
Completed in 1856, the tower was designed by architects Charles Barry and Augustus Welby Pugin, and took 13 years to build
It was constructed using 2600 cubic metres of brick and 850 cubic metres of stone, all of which were transported to Westminster by river
It was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012, to honour the Queen's Diamond Jubilee
The clock, designed by Edmund Beckett Denison, began keeping time on 31 May 1859
Its revolutionary 'Double Three-legged Gravity Escapement' design has been copied in clocks all over the world
The clock's chimes, or "bongs", are broadcast live by BBC Radio 4
It is considered to be within its "normal parameters" if it strikes within two seconds of the correct time
The clock and clock tower were last refurbished just over 30 years ago.
Lib Dem MP Tom Brake, spokesman for the House of Commons Commission, described the Elizabeth Tower, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as "a symbol of the UK's democratic heritage".
He added: "We have a duty to ensure that it is safeguarded for future generations to appreciate, just as we owe it to our predecessors to restore their masterpiece to its former glory.
"While these works are much needed in the short-term, they will also ensure the long-term future and sustainability of Big Ben."
City councillors will consider a report which recommends the track should be run through Leith to Newhaven.
Leith was part of the original tram route but after the project hit problems the tracks got no further than York Place in the city centre.
Now councillors are voting on recommendations to extend services north into Leith and onto Newhaven.
Officials said this would bring benefits to Edinburgh's most densely populated area with the fewest car owners.
It is estimated the three mile extension would cost £144.7m to build.
If the proposals are agreed in principle, a nine-month period of development will begin, including site investigation and procurement.
Once that is complete, a report will be brought back to the council recommending the way forward.
Edinburgh's tram service began running in May 2014, but only after six years of disruption and a bitter dispute between the city council and its contractor.
The previous Labour-led Scottish government originally earmarked £375m to pay for the tram network, which ended up costing £776m and began running years late.
The redevelopment was announced in January and includes a new town square, library and a refurbished market.
A six-week public consultation on the scheme is due to take place.
The Labour-run council said the plans would not affect existing budgets and will be paid for by "recent asset sales and borrowing".
The scheme would have "no impact" on its essential services, Barnsley Council said.
Councillor Roy Miller said: "We'll really put the market and retail shopping back in the heart of our town."
Preparatory work has already started in the Cheapside shopping precinct. The former site of the Central Library on Shambles Street is being cleared to make way for a new sixth form college.
The new £17 million learning centre at Barnsley College is due to open in summer 2015.
A new landscaped square is due to be finished in 2016 and the revamped market hall, shopping boulevard and new central library in early 2017, the council added.

The six-tonne tribute was organised by 90-year-old Joseph Williams who served in Bomber Command and set up The Bomber Command Tribute Beachy Head Committee.
The committee said for most of the airmen Beachy Head was their last sight of Great Britain.
Almost half the 125,000 Bomber Command airmen died on missions to bomb Nazi Germany.
Lord Lieutenant Of East Sussex, Peter Field, dedicated the memorial to the 55,573 airmen who lost their lives.
An RAF Chinook helicopter delivered the memorial to its location in June.
Mr Williams, who joined the RAF in 1944 aged 21, started the campaign for the memorial in 2008.
So some quickfire changes to economic policy could well be in the pipeline.
On the campaign trail, the rhetoric was passionate. So, now that Mr Trump is in the Oval Office, what are we likely to see?
Barely had the inauguration ended than White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus called a halt to the introduction of any new regulations. That sounds like a bold move to cut red tape and, during the election, Mr Trump did promise to cut back the regulatory burden on business.
But a stay on new laws is actually quite common for an incoming president.
The most controversial part of President Trump's move was to freeze regulations concerning President Obama's Affordable Care Act, nicknamed Obamacare. It's still not clear what this will mean for individuals who have taken out insurance or the private insurers covering them. But the new president has vowed to "repeal and replace" the scheme.
As for the other legislation that's been put on hold, it will now be "reviewed". But there's likely to be more to it than that. Trump cabinet member Wilbur Ross suggested last year that cutting regulation would save business $200bn (£161bn) annually. He singled out restrictions on health and safety and the coal industry as ripe for repeal.
If President Trump has made one thing clear it's that he believes current international trade arrangements "put the interests of insiders and the Washington elite over the hard-working men and women of this country" as the White House website now states.
The president said on Sunday that talks on renegotiating Nafta, the free trade pact that has been in place since 1994, would be starting soon with the leaders of Canada and Mexico.
He said the talk with the Mexican president would also cover immigration and border security - a nod to his pre-election promise to have a wall constructed on the southern US frontier.
We may also see this week the first concrete moves when it comes to unravelling the Trans-Pacific Partnership pact. That's the trade deal that Mr Obama spent years negotiating with Pacific Rim nations from Japan to Chile, part of his "pivot" towards the Asia, designed to counter China's growing power.
Big American banks have enjoyed a good few months since the election. That's one of the sectors hoping that a cut-back on red tape will give it more room for manoeuvre.
Steven Mnuchin, the likely Treasury secretary, has vowed to soften "Dodd-Frank" - the new rules brought in after the 2008 financial crash to restrict what big banks can do. And that could mean bigger profits on Wall Street.
Mr Mnuchin is not officially in office yet, and that's the kind of change that may well take some time to get done, but it hasn't stopped bank chiefs talking in sunny terms about the future under President Trump.
More immediately - in fact within an hour of the new administration taking over - there was a block on a late-in-the-day Obama policy that would have helped reduce the cost of mortgages for millions of homebuyers.
Republicans had already expressed concern that it would be a drain on the mortgage insurance fund.
Heading the list of "top issues" on the overhauled White House website is a new "America First Energy Plan". Mr Trump wants untapped shale oil and gas reserves to be exploited. And he wants to see America's "hurting" coal industry fired up again.
It's the revenues from shale that will go into the promised infrastructure programme - building roads, schools and bridges.
Climate change - a central plank of the Obama administration's policy strategy - has been erased from the site.
The environment does get a mention: the Environmental Protection Agency will now focus on "its essential mission of protecting our air and water".
The White House website paints a sorry picture of the American economy under this heading, pointing to manufacturing jobs that have disappeared and a "slow" recovery since 2008. It says Mr Trump has a "bold plan" to create 25 million new American jobs and return the country to 4% annual economic growth.
The way the new president plans to do this is by lowering tax rates across the board, including for business.
It's not yet clear how those tax cuts will be financed.
Although the new administration sees a country in sore need of an overhaul - in his inauguration speech President Trump painted a picture of "American carnage" - of families trapped in poverty, and "rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones" - the new president has actually inherited an economy that is overall considered to be in pretty good shape.
There have been 75 months of consecutive job creation, official unemployment stands at 4.7% and the economy is growing steadily.
Thus far investors seem to be keeping in mind the catchphrase of an earlier president, that the biggest danger is negative sentiment.
Market indexes rallied after Mr Trump's election and have now paused for breath as traders wait to see what happens. And that's not to be sniffed at: positive expectations are a significant asset for an incoming president with radical plans.
Philippe Saint-Andre's side led 24-12 at the break thanks to tries from Wesley Fofana, Guilhem Guirado and Rabah Slimani.
Scores from DTH van der Merwe and Aaron Carpenter kept the Canucks in touch.
But second-half tries from lock Pascal Pape and 26-year-old debutant Remy Grosso secured a bonus-point victory for France.
In truth, the scoreline was not a fair reflection on how Canada played.
They dominated the opening stages of the second half but France, led by a man-of-the-match display from Frederic Michalak, go into next week's huge match against Ireland looking increasingly ominous.
The 32-year-old Toulon fly-half rolled back the years in the first four minutes as he showed a fine turn of pace to slice though the Canada defensive line and set up an onrushing Fofana to touch down for the fastest try of the competition so far.
The conversion and a subsequent penalty saw Michalak became France's top points scorer in World Cup history as he passed the mark of 124 set by Thierry Lacroix.
Guirado put the French 17-0 ahead off the back off a maul, but straight from the kick-off Canada were back in it.
Ciaran Hearn magnificently caught the kick, and several phases later Van der Merwe stepped his man to become his nation's top try scorer in the World Cup.
Hooker Carpenter then burrowed over from close range to make it 17-12 as the Canucks looked in the ascendency, but after Michalak elected to kick a straightforward penalty into touch Slimani touched down to give France breathing space.
Despite captain Tyler Ardron going off injured soon after the break, Canada came out fighting in the second half and two kicks from Nathan Hirayama put them within six points.
But France showed the difference between a tier one and tier two nation with a powerful last 20 minutes, securing a bonus point thanks to Pape's close-range try.
And they stretched well clear as Grosso, called up in place of the injured Yoann Huget, scored a debut try in the left-hand corner to wrap up proceedings.
France coach Philippe Saint-Andre said: "The end result is three games, three wins and 14 points from a possible 15.
"As a group we are eager to go far and we have some huge games to come starting with Ireland."

Chief executive Tim Cook told a US Senate committee Apple paid all the taxes it owed, complying with both the law, and the spirit of the law.
He said last year it paid $6bn to the US Treasury, a tax rate of about 30%.
Earlier, the head of a Senate committee panel accused Apple of "exploiting an absurdity" in its tax payments.
Apple's grilling comes as leading global brands are under growing scrutiny over their tax methods.
By Samira HussainBBC business reporter, New York
Apple is a US success story. Its iPods, iPhones and iPads are known all around the world. It has earned a reputation for engineering creative and popular products.
But it has some baggage too. Apple's manufacturing practices in China have been criticised. And now US lawmakers are calling the tech giant to task for not paying its fair share of taxes.
Apple boss Tim Cook forcefully defended his company's financial practices: The problem isn't us, it's the way the US tax law is written, and there should be a dramatic overhaul of the corporate US tax code.
That may be, but it doesn't change the fact "Apple is exploiting an absurdity," according to one US senator.
A central theme in this post-financial crisis environment is getting wealthy Americans to pay their fair share in taxes. So it's not too surprising congressional leaders are coming after multinationals that are, in their opinion, also not paying their fair share.
Google, Amazon and Starbucks have all appeared recently in front of UK politicians to answer questions about their affairs.
One country where Apple has a favourable tax regime is the Republic of Ireland.
Apple's appearance comes just a day after the same panel branded Apple's complex structure the "Holy Grail of tax avoidance".
On Monday, the Subcommittee said Apple had used "a complex web of offshore entities" to avoid paying billions of dollars in US income taxes. But it said there was no indication the firm had acted illegally.
Mr Cook told the panel that a "dramatic simplification" of US tax laws was required, and said the firm believed that reform should be "revenue neutral".
Apple has been accused by The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which has been examining "methods employed by multinational corporations to shift profits offshore", of being "among America's largest tax avoiders".
Committee member John McCain said although the action taken by Apple was legal, it could be unfair to other companies: "My question is, couldn't one draw the conclusion that you and Apple have an unfair advantage over domestic based corporations and companies, in other words, smaller companies in this country that don't have the same ability that you do to locate in Ireland or other countries overseas?"
Mr Cook said he believed Apple was one of the largest taxpayers in the US, having paid $6bn in federal corporate income tax in the 2012 fiscal year.
Mr McCain said: "Apple claims to be the largest US corporate taxpayer, but by sheer size and scale, it is also among America's largest tax avoiders."
Apple has a cash stockpile of $145bn (£95bn), but the Senate committee said $102bn of this was held offshore.
Mr Cook also told the hearing that Apple considered itself an American firm, and was one that had created jobs across the country.
"We are proud to be an American company, and equally proud of our contribution to the American economy," he said.
In its report into Apple, the subcommittee's chairman Carl Levin said: "Apple wasn't satisfied with shifting its profits to a low-tax offshore tax haven.
"Apple sought the Holy Grail of tax avoidance. It has created offshore entities holding tens of billions of dollars, while claiming to be tax resident nowhere."

Apple has stated: "Apple does not move its intellectual property into offshore tax havens and use it to sell products back into the US in order to avoid US tax.
"It does not use revolving loans from foreign subsidiaries to fund its domestic operations; it does not hold money on a Caribbean island; and it does not have a bank account in the Cayman Islands."
It added that it had "substantial" foreign cash because it sells the majority of its products outside the US, and these foreign earnings were taxed in the jurisdictions where they were earned.
The target is get half of commuters in the city out of their cars by 2021 and 60% by 2026.
The city's council wants more people using public transport, cycling or walking to work and has been working with experts who helped create the cycling scheme in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Cabinet approved the strategy when it met on Thursday.
The plans include setting up routes from Cardiff Bay to north-east Cardiff and from the east of the city to the north-west.
There will also be 600 parking spaces at the new bus station in the city centre.
Councillor Ramesh Patel, cabinet member for planning, transport and sustainability, said Cardiff was "perfect" for cycling and walking.
"There's little doubt that there are too many cars on our roads and as the city grows our roads can't support more and more vehicles," he added.
"This is why we will be investing to make other forms of transport - like cycling - more attractive to residents, visitors and commuters."
If approved, the plans will go out to consultation.
Eisner, a former president of Paramount Pictures, has previously considered investing in Championship club Reading.
The 75-year-old billionaire is believed to be actively pursuing football interests through his investment firm.
League Two Pompey said in a statement that "a robust process is in place to deal with any potential offers".
Portsmouth, who have been a fan-owned club since exiting administration in 2013 with the Supporters' Trust (PST) as majority shareholders, declined to comment on any specific interest.
"If we receive an offer, ultimately it will be for all our shareholders to decide if it would be in the club's best interest," the statement added.
Eisner set up Tornante as a private company following his departure from Disney in 2005, which has interests in media and entertainment companies.
The PST board have also responded to reports in the Portsmouth News of his alleged interest.
"Retaining an ownership stake will be central to any discussions we enter in to," its statement said.
"A club such as ours, with its incredible fan base, is bound to attract interest from possible buyers. It is our duty to listen to any serious and credible offer for the football club."
Portsmouth are currently in the League Two automatic promotion places with eight games remaining this season.
The phrase has proved controversial though, with one MSP insisting that it is "patently not true".
BBC Scotland studied some of the devolved governments of the world to assess where Holyrood ranks in terms of "powerhouse parliaments".
Part of: UK
Powers over: Some taxes and levies, policing, health, education, local government, housing, some welfare benefits, electoral system, agriculture
Powers reserved: Some taxes and duties, immigration, some welfare benefits, international relations and foreign policy
Fiscal powers: Mixed
Own currency? No
The Scotland Bill adds to Holyrood's powers on a number of fronts, from a share of VAT receipts to greater control over income tax. This adds to the devolved administration's authority over policing, health and education, among other matters. However, Deputy First Minister John Swinney has said 86% of welfare powers will remain under the control of Westminster, while matters such as immigration and foreign policy are also reserved.
Part of: UK
Powers over: Justice, policing, agriculture, education, health
Powers reserved: Tax, international relations and foreign policy, elections
Fiscal powers: Mixed
Own currency? No
The Northern Ireland Assembly has had a rocky history; it was set up and abolished several times before the current assembly was established in 1998, but has been suspended several times since. There are two types of powers not devolved to Stormont; reserved matters, such as civil aviation and postal services, which may someday be devolved, and excepted matters, like defence and foreign policy, which are not expected to be devolved at any point. Financial powers are mixed - Northern Ireland has control over corporation tax, but not income tax.
Part of: UK
Powers over: Agriculture, education, culture, welfare, industry, housing, tourism
Powers reserved: Defence, constitution, international relations and foreign policy
Fiscal powers: Some
Own currency? No
The Welsh Assembly had very limited powers when it was first set up, but its legislative competencies have grown since. It was given law-making powers in 2006, and won permission to legislate on 20 devolved areas without having to consult Westminster in 2011. Some borrowing powers have been devolved to the Senedd, along with control of stamp duty and landfill tax. While the assembly does not have the ability to set a degree of income tax, the 2014 Wales Act means it could win this power via a referendum.
Part of: Germany, a federal republic
Powers over: Education, policing, local government and culture
Powers reserved: Foreign affairs, defence, tariffs and indirect taxes
Fiscal powers: Control some taxes, but rates set centrally
Own currency? No
Germany's regional governments technically have a reasonable degree of autonomy, holding power over education, policing and culture and sharing responsibility for public welfare, agriculture and economic affairs. While they have control over a decent percentage of expenditure and revenues (although less than is devolved to Holyrood), rates and bases are set centrally and cannot vary across the Länder.
Part of: Canada
Powers over: Healthcare, education, welfare, transport
Powers reserved: Foreign policy
Fiscal powers: Strong, although somewhat reliant on grants from federal government
Own currency? No
Canada has a federal structure which entrusts governments in each of its ten provinces and three territories with many important public services, administered via regional parliaments. Canada's provinces have greater control over local expenditure and revenues than Holyrood has under the Smith Commission - but funding is sourced from the central government via "transfer payments" as well as local taxes, meaning the government can impose federal mandates to influence what regional governments do.
Part of: The Kingdom of Demark
Powers over: Most domestic matters
Powers reserved: Defence, policing, justice, currency and foreign affairs
Fiscal powers: Largely devolved, although receives annual subsidy from Denmark
Own currency? Yes - although the Faroese krona is pegged to the Danish krone
The 18 Faroe Islands have been self-governing since 1948. The Faroese parliament, the Løgting, has wide domestic powers, as well as some powers over international affairs and diplomacy, with missions to Iceland and the EU. However, a number of areas including policing and justice are reserved to Copenhagen. The islands receive an annual subsidy from Denmark making up about 3% of GDP.
Part of: The Kingdom of Spain
Powers over: Health, education, social services and culture
Powers reserved: Foreign affairs, defence, import duties and VAT
Fiscal powers: Some regions have financial autonomy
Own currency? No
Devolution is different in different regions of Spain, which is divided into 17 autonomous communities and two autonomous cities. More devolved areas like the Basque Country have responsibility for all taxes except import duties and VAT. The regions control large percentages of expenditure and revenues, although still less than Holyrood will receive under the Smith recommendations.
Part of: Republic of Finland
Powers over: Language, policing, postal system and regional government
Powers reserved: Foreign relations, taxation and duties
Fiscal powers: Limited
Own currency? No (although Swedish krona widely accepted)
The Åland Islands is an archipelago of 6,757 islands in the Baltic Sea between Finland and Sweden. The islands have autonomous status and a 30-member parliament, and are guaranteed representation in Finland's parliament. The Åland government controls local matters, but taxes and duties are collected by the Finnish government, which then gives money back to the islands via a block grant.
Part of: Kingdom of the Netherlands
Powers over: All local matters
Powers reserved: Foreign policy, defence and human rights
Fiscal powers: Yes, although some development aid from Dutch government
Own currency? Yes
The three Caribbean islands are technically equal partners in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, although in practice most Kingdom affairs are administered from the European country. Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten have their own parliaments and are autonomous to a large degree, including an increasing degree of financial independence.
Part of: United Republic of Tanzania
Powers over: Agriculture, health, education, industry and land
Powers reserved: Defence, policing, immigration, external trade, citizenship and tax
Fiscal powers: Limited
Own currency? No
Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania in East Africa. It has its own constitution and government and passes laws and makes decisions on local issues, and has representation in the National Assembly of Tanzania. Taxes are collected by the Tanzanian government and a block grant returned to Zanzibar, the size of which has caused controversy. Elections to the local authority in 2000 and 2005 were marred by violence, which led to a multi-party system being introduced in 2010, when a national unity government was elected.
Part of: Swiss Confederation
Powers over: Healthcare, welfare, policing, education and taxation
Powers reserved: Foreign policy, defence, railways and currency
Fiscal powers: Extensive
Own currency? No
Switzerland's 26 cantons have a high degree of independence, with the federal government's jurisdiction limited to a few areas defined in the constitution. The Swiss system is close to being a direct democracy; a referendum must be held for any change in the constitution, and referenda can be requested for any changes to the law. The federal government, cantons and local communities all levy taxes, to an almost equal degree, and local control over revenues and expenditure is slightly greater than Holyrood will have under the Smith Commission powers.
Edmund, 21, won 6-4 3-6 6-1 to join fellow Britons Andy Murray and Aljaz Bedene in round two of the Aegon Championships.
He will next face Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu, who beat Britain's Dan Evans 7-6 (10-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-3.
"I really got my game on court and took it to him." Edmund told BBC Sport.
It is the first time Britain has had three players through to the second round since Murray, Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski did so in 2005.
Simon, 31, is ranked 67 places higher than Edmund at 18 in the world but was second best for most of their delayed match, struggling badly with his ball toss on serve.
Edmund took advantage of a solitary service break to take the first set and led by a break early in the second, only to hand it straight back.
Simon looked to have taken charge when he clinched the second set but Edmund turned the contest around early in the third.
Facing three break points at 0-40, the Yorkshireman played superbly to win five straight points and - after a brief rain delay - powered through the remaining four games, sealing victory with a sweeping backhand.
"I thought in the back end of the second set I had a bit of a mental lapse, I played a sloppy game to get broken, so I was just trying to concentrate on what I was doing before," added Edmund.
Evans, ranked 92nd could not make it four Britons in round two despite pushing world number 60 Mathieu.
The 26-year-old from Solihull failed to convert three set points in the first set, edged a similarly tight second in a tie-break, but one break was enough for Mathieu in the decider.
I had a lot of chances in all the sets," said Evans."It's just a missed opportunity I think. It was a tight match and I came out on the wrong side."
Canada's Milos Raonic won the serving duel with Australian Nick Kyrgios to clinch a 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-4 victory.
The pair resumed at one set all after they ran out of light on Tuesday evening, and a final set tie-break appeared inevitable until the Kyrgios serve faltered.
Two double-faults handed Raonic an unexpected break at 4-4 and, after falling 15-40 behind, the third seed served his way out of trouble.
Raonic has brought John McEnroe into his coaching team during the grass-court season, and said the three-time Wimbledon champion is a keen practice partner.
"He's been on the court the whole time," said Raonic. "It's been a lot of fun, he's very competitive and it's obviously benefiting me as well."
Elsewhere American seventh seed John Isner hit 25 aces on his way to a 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 win over former US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro.
In the final three months of 2016, sales at its stores open for more than a year fell by 2.9%.
But that was better than the 5.8% slide in the third quarter, and the 7.5% fall in sales in the three months to June.
Asda, which is owned by US retail giant Walmart, is operating in a fiercely competitive market, with discount chains Lidl and Aldi expanding rapidly.
Walmart chief executive Doug McMillon said: "In the UK, we faced some challenges this past year and we're addressing this with urgency.
"I'm glad store sales improved during the fourth quarter, but we have a lot of work to do."
Asda chief executive Sean Clarke said the supermarket had gained more than 140,000 customers in the fourth quarter.
He added that Asda had "sharpened" its prices and focused on its ranges and the availability of its products.
Mr Clarke was brought in as chief executive in July last year as part of an attempt to revive the supermarket's fortunes.
Meanwhile, Walmart reported higher-than-expected US sales after a 29% boost to online sales and with more people coming to its stores.
Sales at US stores open for at least a year rose 1.8%, beating analyst estimates of 1.3%.
Visits to its stores in the US rose 1.4%, compared with a 0.7% increase a year earlier.
"We've now seen nine consecutive quarters of traffic growth in our stores," said Walmart chief financial officer Brett Biggs. "Clearly, we're gaining traction."
Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail, said: "While some US retailers struggled over the holiday period, Walmart did not as it notched up respectable sales gains on both a total and same-store basis."
He said promotion of its "everyday low price" strategy had paid off with "price conscious" holiday shoppers.
Arteta, 29, joined the Gunners on a four-year contract just before the transfer window closed.
The deal had looked dead earlier after talks between the two clubs broke down but Arteta handed in the transfer request an hour before the deadline.
Arsenal also signed Chelsea's Yossi Benayoun, 31, on a season-long loan.
"Mikel indicated to me that he wished to join Arsenal if a bid came in," said Everton manager David Moyes.

"I am very disappointed to lose him but the prospect of Champions League football was something I wasn't able to offer him."
According to BBC sports news correspondent Dan Roan, there is anger behind the scenes at Goodison because Arteta left his announcement so late that there was no time to re-invest the money.
Roan added: "Arsenal offered £5m on Tuesday and offered £10m on Wednesday afternoon - both bids were rejected. Any deal was dead until around 1900 BST, when Arteta told Moyes he wished to leave.
"Moyes spoke to the chairman, Bill Kenwright, and said he did not want to keep a player who did not wish to play for Everton.
"Arteta was Everton's highest-paid player ever on around £75,000 a week and took a big pay cut to join Arsenal."
Arteta joined Everton from Real Socieded for £2m in 2005 and has scored 35 goals in 208 appearances.
He started his career with Barcelona before spells with Paris Saint-Germain FC and Rangers.
The Spaniard suffered a knee ligament injury in February 2009 and was sidelined for almost 12 months before signing a new five-year deal in August 2010.
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown told BBC Sport that both Arteta and Benayoun were "solid signings".
"Arsenal made eight signings during this transfer window, which is the biggest turnover of players Arsene Wenger has sanctioned since he came to the club back in 1998. He brought very well then, with a big group coming in - Petit, Overmars, Garde, Manninger, Wreh. Lots came in at once and we've not seen Wenger do that since. It hasn't really been his style of management. The amount of players he has brought in is a big call and only the results will tell as to whether or not he has got the right blend."

But when asked if they would be adequate replacements for the departed Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri, Keown added: "No they're not, it's very hard to replace those players.
"I think back to the [Dennis] Bergkamp era, the impetus those players brought. Arteta is a great passer, Benayoun is not getting into Chelsea team. It's a mixed bag for Arsenal fans."
Benayoun, the Israel captain, wrote on social networking site Twitter: "I sign with Arsenal, very happy and excited about it, but now my head is only in the game against grecce on Friday, thanks for the support."
Both clubs later confirmed the move had gone through.
Chelsea offered Liverpool £8m plus Benayoun for Reds midfielder Raul Meireles on Tuesday, but that deal was rejected.
He joined Blues from Liverpool for £5m in July 2010 but was restricted to 10 appearances last season because of an Achilles injury and has seen only one minute of action this time round.
It had been rumoured Benayoun would be included in an offer from Chelsea for Tottenham playmaker Luka Modric.
Newcastle had also been linked with the Israeli.
Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner completed a move away from Emirates Stadium just before the window closed, joining Sunderland on a season-long loan.
The base, which ordinarily stays open year-round, is currently closed because of uncertainty over a developing crack in the ice shelf on which it sits.
Scientists are using automated ground instruments and satellites to monitor the fissure from afar, and plan to reoccupy Halley from November.
Whether that is just for the length of the Summer season, though, is unclear.
"That decision will have to be based on our observations; and these processes, because they are ice-related, are often painstakingly slow," BAS glaciologist Jan De Rydt told BBC News.
The UK has had a permanent presence on the Brunt Ice Shelf since 1956, and scientists would be loath to see their operations routinely reduced to just a few months a year.
Halley VI, as the base is known in its latest incarnation, will feature in a colourful BBC Horizon documentary on Wednesday.
Filmmaker Natalie Hewit spent three months at the turn of the year recording the huge effort to shift the station's futuristic-looking buildings to a new location.
Tractors dragged the eight modules a further 23km from the ocean's edge, to put them in a more secure spot.
"It was an incredible sight," recalled Natalie. "We have some amazing drone shots, taken from up high, of one of these blue modules moving across the ice, but you can't see where it is going because this place is so expansive, so huge, so desolate - all the way to the horizon is just white. And it really reminds you how teeny-weeny we are.
"This programme, though, is about more than just moving some buildings; it's very much about the people who work at the end of the world to do their science."
Halley base is geared up to be mobile. It has a hydraulic leg and ski system that allows it to be raised above the annual snowfall, and towed. Without this mechanism, the station would eventually be buried and carried to the shelf edge where it would then be dropped into the ocean inside an iceberg.
Halley bases I to V were abandoned to this fate or demolished. The latest design represents a novel solution, and the recent move was its first implementation.
The relocation was initially ordered because some long-dormant chasms in the Brunt Ice Shelf to the south and west of Halley had started lengthening again. This turned out to be serendipitous because a completely different fissure system then opened to the east.
This new crack - dubbed the Halloween Crack because it was first discovered on 31 October last year - propagated rapidly and now extends for about 60km.
It poses no immediate threat to Halley but the uncertainties surrounding its likely future behaviour are what prompted the temporary withdrawal of staff. This was seen as a sensible precaution given the dangers of trying to fly planes in and out of the base during the polar winter, when nights are long and weather conditions deteriorate.
BAS experts now have to decide whether November's returning teams can once again take up permanent residence or limit their stay to just the length of the southern summer.
The Halloween Crack is propagating roughly eastwards, broadly parallel to the continent, and away from Halley. It is the other end, though, close to the ocean, that is concentrating minds.
This tip is currently held up at a location known as the McDonald Rumples - a raised area of seafloor that catches on the bottom of the floating ice shelf. Dr De Rydt explained: “The Brunt Ice Shelf is pinned at the rumples; it's where the shelf runs aground. The rumples are an anchor point that keeps everything in place and stable."
Glaciologists are waiting to see if the crack will break past the rumples, and on which side. They should then get a clearer idea of the longer term reaction of the shelf to the changes that are presently in play.
Ultimately, the Halloween fissure will probably calve a huge iceberg into the ocean.
"In the 1970s, we had a similar event where a crack happened very close to where we see Halloween Crack today," Dr De Rydt told BBC News.
"That crack ended another 20km or so towards the east of where the tip of Halloween is now. And that created a berg of several thousand square kilometres."
Halley's mobility means it should not be anywhere near this great block of ice when it cuts free.

In a regulatory filing, American Airlines said Qatar intended to buy at least $808m (£638m) of its shares.
American Airlines said it would respond "in due course".
Shares in American Airlines, which is the biggest airline in the world, initially rose 5% but fell back to a 1.2% rise by afternoon trading.
Qatar Airways said it sees American as a good investment opportunity and would not involve itself in management, operations or governance.
"Qatar Airways believes in American Airlines' fundamentals," the firm said.
In 2015, Qatar Airways took a 10% stake in International Airlines Group (IAG), the owner of British Airways and Iberia.
Then in July 2015 it increased its stake to 20%, becoming IAG's biggest shareholder.
But the airline has encountered turbulence.
Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Libya, Yemen and the Maldives cut diplomatic ties with Qatar.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt all said they would stop flights in and out of Qatar, and close their airspace to the country's flag carrier, Qatar Airways.
US companies, including American Airlines, have also pressured the White House to take action against Qatar Airways and other Gulf airlines, which they say receive unfair government subsidies.
Seth Kaplan, managing partner at Airline Weekly, said Qatar Airways may be hoping an investment would help reduce those objections.
The firm may also be looking to strengthen Qatar's relationship with the US, which has appeared uncertain amid the diplomatic dispute in the Gulf, he said.
"It's almost certainly not just a financial investment," he said.
American Airlines and Qatar Airways are already partners through the Oneworld alliance. This investment could tighten that relationship, but it is unlikely to have a large effect on consumers, Mr Kaplan said.
It is not clear at this point how American Airlines will respond, Mr Kaplan said.
In its statement, Qatar Airways said it would not acquire more than 4.75% of shares without permission from the American Airlines board.
The findings come as MPs warned of a "deeply concerning" lack of competition for top policing jobs - with the pool of talent "in danger of drying up".
In 11 cases since 2012, there was only one applicant for the role - most often the incumbent deputy chief constable.
Recruiting externally and upping pay would attract more people, MPs suggest.
Advertising jobs externally would also help allay accusations of "parochialism and cronyism", the Home Affairs Committee said.
New chief constables have been appointed in almost all police forces since 2012 - with an average of three applicants for every post, the BBC's research found.
Even high-profile forces attracted few applicants - for example West Midlands, which had one candidate, and Greater Manchester, which had two.
More than half of all 41 police and crime commissioners (PCCs) - who were first elected in 2012, and have responsibility for appointing the chief constable - hired someone from within their own force.
In 23 cases, the job went to the existing deputy, who the committee said "often share a close relationship" with the relevant commissioner.
Chief constables currently earn between £134,000 and £187,000, but MPs called for new rules to allow them to be paid more in order to attract a greater variety of candidates.
The committee's chair, Labour MP Keith Vaz, said it had not anticipated that the creation of PCCs would have had "such a dramatic effect" on the appointment of chief constables.
"The pool of talent in policing is in danger of drying up, with so few applications for the most senior jobs in policing," he said.
Commissioners should make sure applicants for chief constable had served at least two years in another police force at a senior rank, "and not allow close working relationships with their deputy chief constables to deter external applicants", he added.
PCCs - whose remit also includes setting force budgets - represent 41 out of the 43 forces in England and Wales. The next group of commissioners will be elected at polls in May.
Turnout at those elections would be one measure of their success in engaging with the communities they represent, the committee said.
It also recommended a number of measures to improve the transparency around the role, including a list of office costs and a register of interests to be maintained centrally "so they can be better scrutinised by their electorate".
The Policing and Crime Bill will see more responsibility given to PCCs in relation to fire and rescue services.
Last month Home Secretary Theresa May suggested they could play a role in the wider criminal justice system.
However, any further expansion of the role should be "incremental and carefully judged", the committee concluded - with Mr Vaz warning a broader remit "may prove overwhelming".
Wales sevens specialist Matthew Pewtner, 25, quit the game on Wednesday following a head injury.
He is the third Welsh professional player to retire in less than a year following concussions.
"We have moved on with our knowledge and we're more ready to advise players to retire," said Dr O'Driscoll.
"Every case of this saddens you and worries you just that little bit more.
"It does seem that with the much bigger impacts and speed of the game that these repeated sub-concussive and concussive knocks are becoming more damaging more frequently."
Pewtner's retirement came nearly seven months after he suffered a blow to the head playing for Newport Gwent Dragons in the Aviva Sevens in August 2015.
In May 2015 Dragons centre Ashley Smith announced he was quitting the game and in September ex-Wales back-row Jonathan Thomas retired after being diagnosed with epilepsy linked to head traumas suffered while playing.
The management of head injuries in rugby hit the headlines during the 2015 Six Nations Championship when George North played on for Wales after suffering two blows to the head against England.
That followed him missing a 2014 autumn international after suffering a concussion in a Test against New Zealand.
The Northampton Saints wing was eventually forced to take a break from the game following a further blow to the head in a game against Wasps.
Dr O'Driscoll - who has previously criticised rugby's concussion protocols - said the handling of players who have suffered multiple blows is a particular concern.
"I'm sure if [North] gets another one he will have to consider whether the worries about what the inference is from these is enough to make him give up the game," he said.
"It's his living and it's a very good living and he loves it ... and he would I'm sure and his advisers would make him think seriously about it.
"But it's a balance for each person to make and I don't think we're anywhere near the stage of the game of saying 'no, that's it, we can't pick you anymore', [because] we don't know enough yet.
"But any player at all who has had three or four concussions, in my opinion must seriously think about the future."
North made his comeback in Wales' win over Italy in September 2015 and scored an outstanding try in Wales' 27-24 win over Scotland on 13 February.
Interim manager Graeme Murty is likely to continue to be in charge of Rangers for the trip to Celtic Park.
Mark Warburton left Ibrox last month and Al-Gharafa's Pedro Caixinha has been given permission to join Rangers.
"The players are professional enough to get on with it," Rodgers said. "Graeme's done an excellent job."
Under-20s coach Murty has overseen the first team for Rangers' last five games - three wins and two defeats.
"It's not an easy situation when you're working with the younger players and then you've got to step into the position when the manager goes," said Rodgers.
"I'm sure whatever way it works out for him, he'll have benefited from it. Coming to Celtic Park on Sunday, I'm sure he's looking forward to it. The players have to be focused, and I'm sure they'll be coming to get a good result."
Celtic have won all three Old Firm encounters this term, including a 5-1 league victory at Celtic Park in their first meeting of the season.
Rodgers believes his side were more dominant in the 1-0 Scottish League Cup semi-final victory over Rangers and could have scored more than twice in December's 2-1 Premiership win at Ibrox.
"Celtic v Rangers, the games I've been involved in so far, have been fantastic and of course we played well in the three games and got the result," explained Rodgers. "We always anticipate a tough game and I'm sure this one will be no different.
"It's a real intense affair, the supporters are really passionate, and the Celtic Park game was a great start, being the first one for us, so if we can play to that level and to how we have been for most of the season then we hope that can get us a result.
"What this team has shown through the season is that they can win all types of games. We can win a footballing game, we can win when it's a battle, we can win games when teams are sat in and defending deep, compact, we find a way through. If a game is stretched and open we have the power and the pace to exploit.
"Last week [in the 4-1 Scottish Cup win against St Mirren], we showed that when we weren't anywhere near to our level in the first half, that we could then turn the screw and put in a better performance in the second half.
"It's a team that's improving all the time, although there are still lots of improvements to make. We've shown whoever the opponent has been that we've found answers."

He was going more than 800 miles an hour after he leapt from 24 miles about the ground.

But he managed to get back in control and landed safely in the desert in New Mexico, America.
Brown is set to win his 50th cap next week in the second of two forthcoming friendlies against Denmark at Hampden.
"I would argue that he's been our best player since we have been here," said McGhee, assistant since 2013.
"A lot of people have done really well - don't get me wrong. But consistently I think Scott has done a great job."
McGhee is confident Brown, 30, who made his international debut in 2005, still has a major appetite to represent Scotland as preparations begin for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, which start in September.
Scotland have been drawn in a group with England, Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania and Malta.
"We are glad he is still around," added the Motherwell manager. "[This will be his] 50th cap; he has got another 20 or 30 in him.
"I think the challenge he gets here is different from the challenge he gets at his club, and he rises to it and he really enjoys it.
"I think with the England game, he will want to be part of that."

The polling average line looks at the five most recent national polls and takes the median value, ie, the value between the two figures that are higher and two figures that are lower.
The BBC's Hugh Schofield, in Paris, says the alliance between the two right-wing parties is symbolically important as it is the first time the FN has formed a pact with a mainstream political party.
Ms Le Pen's manifesto has been adapted to take in some of her putative prime minister's policies.
But the new alliance is less likely to appeal to the nearly 20% of French voters who cast their first round ballot for left-winger Jean-Luc Mélenchon, correspondents say.
Outgoing President François Hollande, speaking in Brussels at his last EU summit, said the election on 7 May "is a European choice".
"The French have everything to gain by staying in the European Union," he told reporters gathered at the summit to discuss the UK leaving the bloc.
Antoine Maury, 21, was last seen more than a month ago. He disappeared after leaving a group of friends suddenly on Monday 24 October.
A man matching his description was later seen at the loch wearing no top.
On Facebook, his mother Laura Maury thanked people for their help and support over the last few weeks.
She said: "For all of you out there and particularly to all of Antoine's, older and more previous friends.
"My beloved sons body was recovered in the Dudingston Loch earlier this morning. Antoine would had turned 22 on the 31st of December this year. Thank you all for your help and support during the last 5 and 1/2 weeks. God bless you all."
Divers and sonar equipment were used in the search for Mr Maury whose family travelled to Edinburgh to appeal for information.
Earlier, a Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Police in Edinburgh can confirm that a body has been recovered from Duddingston Loch.
"The discovery was reported to police around 10:30 on Friday, 2 December.
"Inquiries are ongoing to establish the man's identity.
"The family of Antoine Maury have been informed of this development."
The quantity of cash, totalling 1.2bn naira ($3.8m; £3m), was so great that it took 10 days to count it, Sunday Oluseye told the court in Abuja.
His testimony forms part of a case linked to a multi-billion dollar corruption scandal.
President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to tackle corruption.
"I got worried when I saw the huge amount of money conveyed by the aircrafts that day," Mr Oluseye told the court, in comments reported by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), a government anti-corruption body.
He told the court that most of the money was in 500 and 1,000 naira notes.
The evidence was given as part of a money-laundering case brought by the EFCC against Abiodun Agbele, whom the body names as a close ally of the governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose.
The EFCC says the case is linked to a wider investigation into Nigeria's former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki, who has been charged for an alleged multi-million dollar fraud in which government funds earmarked to fight Boko Haram were stolen.
Mr Dasuki and Mr Agbele both deny the charges.
Corruption is endemic in Nigeria and so far the EFCC has only managed to secure a handful of convictions.
Lots of journalists now use Twitter as a newsgathering tool. It can be a great way to search for contributors, case studies and information on a story.
It is also a good way just to see what people are saying on a particular topic and can be used to broadcast your stories to a wider audience.
BBC News School Report uses Twitter to promote stories and news about the project, but we make sure we follow these guidelines:
Why not have a look at School Report's quiz on using Twitter safely as a journalist?
However, if you want to use Twitter as part of your journalistic research during the course of School Report you should think very carefully about safety issues and the age restrictions in place on Twitter.
Just like websites such as YouTube and Facebook, Twitter is aimed at people who are over 13. Within Twitter's pages on privacy is a section on their policy "towards children" which points out that "...our services are not directed to persons under 13... we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13".
Any use of Twitter or social media for School Report purposes should comply with your school's social media policy, and we strongly recommend it is done in a supervised capacity.
It is crucial that social media is used safely, especially by young people. For more guidance on using social networks safely see BBC Webwise's guide to staying safe on social networking sites.
You can also read School Reporter's guide to staying safe online, with teenagers giving tips to their fellow teens on how to stay out of trouble.
And here are some simple tips to ensure you use Twitter safely - and remember that many of these tips apply to other social media websites too:
There is also more information available on these websites:
You can choose which other Twitter accounts you would like to follow. Depending on the stories you are working on, you might want to follow, for example, your local newspaper, your local council, your local football club or journalists who tend to cover these type of stories.
You can also create lists in Twitter to group together related accounts which can be a really useful way to manage lots of information coming in.
If, for example, you were reporting on a story about your local football club, you might want to follow the club's official account, an organised fans' group, supporters who blog about the team, footballers who play for the club, journalists who cover stories about the team and so on.
By creating a list, you can group all of these accounts together in one Twitter stream to make it easier to follow. Here are some step-by-step instructions to create lists.
You can search Twitter in a similar way to searching Google, Yahoo or other search engines and this can help you find out crucial information and even potential interviewees.
An advanced search can be a really good way of narrowing down the information that's coming in on a particular topic.
People often use hashtags to help their tweets get found by other Twitter users with an interest in a particular topic or event. So, for instance, during Prime Minister's Questions, journalists may compose a tweet about the exchanges and end with #pmqs which other people can then search for to bring all the tweets mentioning #pmqs together.
There's no hard and fast rule about what hashtags get used - try a bit of trial and error to see what people are using.
But it's vital that you treat Twitter just the same as any other source: just because something's on Twitter doesn't mean it's true!
Hoax accounts are common, and sometimes a Twitter user will pretend to be a famous person for the purposes of trying to arrange a face-to-face meeting. This is obviously dangerous and you should not allow yourself to be talked into a meeting with someone you do not know.
There are also parody accounts, where Twitter users pretend to be other people either for comedy or to catch out lazy journalists.
There have been a string of hoax stories circulating on Twitter, from made-up football transfer stories and political resignations to false reports of celebrity deaths. It's important to check out stories are genuine before you start reporting them.
At the BBC we normally want at least two sources for every story - that way you can be more confident that it's true. Use other non-Twitter sources to try to verify the story.
Twitter uses blue ticks to identify "official" accounts, especially for high-profile celebrities - but even some of these have proven to be hoaxes so use some common sense. Ask yourself: How many followers do they have? How much have they tweeted? When was the account set up? What is in their 'bio' section?
If an account claims to be, for example, your local MP but only has seven followers, has tweeted twice and was set up yesterday, alarm bells should be ringing!
This video on the BBC College of Journalism offers some more top tips on verifying stories, material and people you discover on Twitter.
Don't assume that you can just use material - videos, photos etc - that you come across via Twitter in your reports.
This guide from the BBC College of Journalism offers some more detailed advice about copyright issues and dealing fairly with people.
You should get consent from the person who posted the material before using it, and the same rules about privacy and taste and decency apply - don't use material that is unsuitable for your audience.
And think about the impact of using the material on the people involved. Is it fair to them to reuse it in a reporting context when this would not have been their original intention when they uploaded the material?
The BBC broadcasts breaking news and other stories on Twitter and individual productions - like School Report - also promote their stories and material via Twitter. Here are some useful handles: @BBCBreaking, @BBCSchoolReportand @BBCNewswhich will give you a good example of how the BBC does things on Twitter.
The BBC uses Twitter to broadcast headlines as a story breaks and provide links to further information which is available via the BBC News online site as more information becomes available.
If your school uses Twitter and has an account you may want to broadcast the headlines of your stories on the account - just like the BBC does. It's one way of getting your news seen by more people in your community who follow you.
It's also a way of getting people who are interested in the subject of your story to find out about it.
Imagine you were reporting on the possible closure of your local hospital. People who are interested in the future of the hospital may well search Twitter to see what the latest news is, so if you put the right terms - probably the name of the hospital in this instance - in your tweet, then your report will have more chance of being seen by a really engaged audience.
The key is to remember that BBC journalism values still apply: be accurate, fair and think about what your audience will find most interesting.
Think of the tweet as the headline to your story and apply the usual who, what, where, how and who rules.
Get a second pair of eyes from the teacher before sending anything.
And don't forget to include a link! There are URL-shortening websites such as bit.ly and TinyURL (many others are available, try an internet search for "URL shortener") which will ensure the link takes up fewer of your precious 140 characters!
Former world number 11 Stephens missed nearly a year of action because of a foot injury before returning at Wimbledon last month.
But she defeated Germany's Kerber 6-2 6-2 in 58 minutes to reach the last eight after beating number 14 seed Petra Kvitova in the previous round.
The unseeded 24-year-old will face Lucie Safarova in the next round.
New world number one Karolina Pliskova survived a scare to reach the quarter-finals as Japanese teenager Naomi Osaka retired.
The 19-year-old qualifier, ranked 50th in the world, won a second set tie-break but called for the trainer and retired while Pliskova was leading 6-2 6-7 (4-7) 1-0.
"She played well, especially in the second set she was fighting pretty hard," said Pliskova
"I was just trying to stay in the game and I didn't know she was injured."
The Czech, 25, playing in her first event as the world's top-ranked player, won four straight games to take the first set from Osaka.
But Osaka matched top seed Pliskova shot-for-shot in the second set before dominating the tiebreak 7-4 to level the match.
During the changeover, Osaka told her coach that she was suffering from abdominal pain and was told to withdraw if the pain persisted to avoid the risk of further injury.
Pliskova will meet sixth seed and former world number one Caroline Wozniacki in the last eight.
In a battle of former Rogers Cup champions, a ruthless Wozniacki swept past 10th-seeded Pole Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3 6-1 in only 78 minutes.
Romanian second seed Simona Halep, who won the tournament last year, eased through her last-16 match with a 6-1 6-0 demolition of the 26th-ranked Barbora Strycova inside an hour.
Czech Lucie Safarova also made the last eight by beating Russia's Ekaterina Makarova 6-3 6-7 6-2, while France's Caroline Garcia beat 18-year-old American Catherine Bellis 6-4 6-2.
Later on Thursday, Ukraine's Elina Svitolina comfortably defeated American Venus Williams 6-2 6-1, setting up a meeting with Spain's Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza, who beat Ashleigh Barty of Australia 6-0 3-6 6-2.
The search of a 19-acre site at Coghalstown, County Meath, began almost a year ago.
Mr Lynskey, a former Cistercian monk who later joined the IRA, was abducted in west Belfast in August 1972.
His niece Maria Lynskey said she was "bitterly disappointed" that her uncle's remains had not been found.
"This year I had hope when before there was nothing and I'm grateful for that," she said.
Mr Lynskey became known as one of the so-called Disappeared; 16 people abducted and secretly buried by republicans in the 1970s and 1980s.
So far, the remains of 12 people have been recovered.
The searches for Mr Lynskey were carried out close to where the body of another IRA victim, Brendan Megraw, was found in October 2014.
During the search for Mr Lynskey, the remains were unexpectedly found of Kevin McKee and Seamus Wright, who also disappeared in 1972.
Ms Lynksey said her family had taken great comfort from that, and praised the work of the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR) during the search.
The commission was established in 1999 to obtain information in strictest confidence that may lead to where the bodies are buried.
"I visited the site several times and saw how dedicated the search teams were and how hard they worked especially when the conditions were bad," she said.
"Of course I'm disappointed that Joe is not coming home to be laid to rest with his parents, but I know that the ICLVR did absolutely everything they could to find him."
Geoff Knupfer, the ICLVR's lead forensic scientist and investigator, said his team shared Ms Lynskey's disappointment.
"When we brought the team of forensic archaeologists and contractors on to the site to start the invasive phase of the search in March, we had good reason to believe we were in the right place," he said.
"Like Maria we believe the information we were working from was given in good faith but clearly it was incomplete.
"We know that more information about the events of over 40 years ago is still out there.
"Once again I emphasise that all information is treated in the strictest confidence and that anyone who supplies it can do so in the certain knowledge that their identity will never be revealed to anyone else."
Operation Kalmyk looked at computer hacking offences in relation to suspected business espionage.
As part of Kalmyk, which began in 2011, 22 people were interviewed under caution, 15 of them under arrest.
The Crown Prosecution Service has now told Met Police there was insufficient evidence for any convictions.
The Met had been consulting with the CPS throughout the course of the Operation Kalmyk investigation, which looked into the investigator's alleged offences that were said to have been carried out on behalf of other clients.
The CPS has said it considered charging 15 suspects under the Computer Misuse Act.
But on Wednesday, it said that had not been possible because the alleged offences were said to have been committed between 2005 and 2007, when the law included a six-month time limit for starting a prosecution.
The BBC's home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds says the high-profile inquiry was triggered in 2011 by a BBC Panorama investigation.
This alleged a private investigator had obtained access to emails belonging to a soldier, Ian Hurst, who worked in army intelligence in Northern Ireland.
The programme claimed two private investigators targeted Mr Hurst because of secrets he was keeping dating back to his time working with an undercover unit that handled IRA informers.
Panorama said the hacking was ordered by Alex Marunchak, an executive at the News of the World.
Mr Marunchak, who was arrested and questioned as part of the computer hacking inquiry said he was "relieved for my family who have been through an awful lot while this witch-hunt has been going on".
He added: "It's a monumental waste of money. I imagine Scotland Yard has got better things to spend money on than that."
Alleged hacking victim Mr Hurst has immediately asked the CPS to review its decision not to prosecute.
He claimed police became aware he had been targeted in 2006, rather than 2011, as a result of a surveillance operation examining possible police corruption.
Mr Hurst also said action could have been taken much earlier, avoiding any time limit and resulting in a prosecution.
The Metropolitan Police said in response: "In 2006, intelligence was received during a sensitive investigation.
"The intelligence was recorded but not acted upon. We have not been able to find any documented decision-making as to why no action was taken."
The force said no further details could be given "due to the circumstances of the intelligence being received".
Operation Kalmyk was investigated as part of Operation Tuleta, which began in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal and is being run by the Metropolitan Police.
Police said the CPS decided there was sufficient evidence to charge one person with an offence contrary to the Fraud Act but that it would not be in the public interest to do so.
The Met said in a statement that it understood that the complainants may be "very disappointed" by the decision.
"However, we respect and fully appreciate the CPS's decision and recognise that in this case there were complex legal and evidential issues that meant there could not be a realistic prospect of conviction," it added.
Breadsall Priory Country Club, near Derby, was targeted in the early hours of Sunday.
Officers said two masked men, one armed with a hammer, entered the venue and threatened a member of staff before taking cash from the safe.
CCTV images show a suspect wearing what police describe as "distinctive underwear".
One of the suspects is said to be white, about six feet tall and of medium build. The second is described as black and about the same height and build.

The chance encounter in the naval port town of Yokosuka was documented on Twitter by user T-Kum, in a tweet that went viral.
"I came here to play KanColle but it looks like the real sailors are already here," he wrote in a post that was retweeted more than 30,000 times.
A hugely popular web browser game available only in Japan, it is part of the Kantai Collection franchise which has spawned multiple manga novels as well as an animated television series.
But to fans and military history buffs, its appeal lies in the characters: anime schoolgirls named after actual naval warships.
The Twitter user spoke to the BBC of his surprise as he walked into the arcade but also at how his post subsequently went viral.
"I took the photo in a games arcade in Yokosuka. I went in, as I often do, just to pass the time, and I found them in the ships games corner," he said, adding that he thought they must be sailors in training.
"It's not rare to see people in uniform in this town ... but I just thought it was a nice moment that they were sharing, spending what little free time they have relaxing like that, so I took the photo and posted it, making sure not to show their faces."
"I didn't expect such a huge reaction. My mobile alert was going off like crazy, and I didn't know what to do."
Twitter users reacted to his post expressing excitement, with many also noting this was a sign of a country at peace.
"Seeing this makes me relieved - There's no self defence force officer who wants to go to war," commented one Twitter user. "Without peace, they cannot read comics or play games."
It was a sentiment that struck a chord with the poster.
"It's only in peacetime that soldiers and trainees can spend their leave time playing games like this, so I suppose that's what people are reacting to," he told the BBC, but added that some Self Defence Force staff are involved in anti-pirate operations and do go on active duty around the world.
"As trainees, they can enjoy their time off. But once they become full-fledged officers and go abroad on operations, I hope they can still return home to relax and have fun. I hope Japan continues to be like that."
And on the question of the central irony of sailors playing sailing games: "I can only guess but I thought maybe it's because they like ships."

Kile Straker, 23, from Armstrong Drive in Dunstall Park, is accused of knocking George Frederick Searle off his bike on 11 July in Stafford Road.
Mr Straker has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of a traffic collision.
He is due to appear at Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court on 13 December.
The 24-year-old has made 12 appearances for the Iron this season but has not featured since 2 January.
The former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international progressed through the youth system at Glanford Park, where he has made 173 appearances.
Canavan, who has had just one previous loan spell away from Scunthorpe, could feature against Crewe on Tuesday.

Jodie Bradshaw, who runs Free Hearts Animal Sanctuary in Tasmania state, stopped to check the dead mother wombat by the side of the road on Monday.
She spotted wriggling inside the mother's pouch and at first worried it might be maggots.
But she then saw a tiny paw pop out and realised there was a live wombat joey inside.
Ms Bradshaw's co-worker at the sanctuary, Jules Lewington, told the BBC that they wanted to encourage others to check dead animals for babies, particularly those with pouches.
A local wildlife expert named Norma Baker is now caring for the little wombat, keeping it inside her bra to maintain its body temperature.
"The best way to keep them warm when you find them is to do exactly that, put them inside the shirt," Ms Lewington said.
"It helps to keep them in there to transfer body warmth and it's as good a place as any.
"[Norma] will keep the wombat in that same spot 24 hours a day."
Ms Lewington said the baby wombat had a good body weight and was eating.
"We're hopeful at this stage but there's a long way to go," she said.
Officers say they have no idea who the man was and what his links to the forgery operation might be.
Five foreigners were arrested and one police officer was shot and wounded during the operation.
Quantities of fake passports were also found at the flat in the Phra Kanong district of the city.
Bangkok police chief Sanit Mahathavorn said those arrested were three English-speaking men and a Burmese maid and her husband.
Thai media said the three English speakers were two Americans and one Briton but this was not confirmed.
Police said that during the raid one of the suspects turned from a safe he was opening and opened fired, injuring one officer.
A body of a "foreign man with blond hair" was then found inside a large freezer on the ground floor.
"His body was cut with a sharp object into six pieces, put in a black bag and brought into the freezer," the police chief told reporters.
He said the suspects were being questioned at a police station in south-west Bangkok.
BBC South-East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head says the trade in forged and stolen passports is a big business in Thailand.
The trade was highlighted after the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 two years ago, he adds, when two Iranian men on board were found to have been travelling on stolen passports bought in Thailand.

The Batley and Spen MP, 41, was shot and stabbed in Birstall, West Yorkshire, on 16 June.
Thomas Mair, 52, was told by an Old Bailey judge that a provisional trial had been fixed for 14 November.
He is also charged with grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of an offensive weapon.
Mrs Cox was attacked shortly before she was due to hold a constituency surgery.
Mr Mair, from Birstall, appeared at the Old Bailey via videolink from Belmarsh Prison.
He only spoke to confirm his name.
A plea and case management hearing is due to take place in October.
Capped 94 times, Phillips' comments come as criticism has been levelled at coach Rob Howley for failing to bring new players into the Wales team.
As they prepare to face France, Wales have capped just three new players since the 2015 World Cup, but Phillips says he understands the situation.
"You can't just blood youngsters because they are young," he said.
Since 2015, only Blues flanker Ellis Jenkins, Newport Gwent Dragons lock Cory Hill and Ospreys fly-half Sam Davies have been handed their senior debuts.
In Wales' final Six Nations clash in Paris, there have been calls for Howley to have one eye on the future and play new faces.
Instead the has stuck with the same side that beat Ireland last time out.
This comes despite Howley having a host of uncapped players in his squad in the shape of Ospreys flanker Olly Cracknell and lock Rory Thornton, Leicester fly-half Owen Williams, Scarlets wing Steffan Evans, Dragons wing Ashton Hewitt, Scarlets scrum-half Aled Davies and Wasps flanker Thomas Young.

Howley has also ignored calls for Davies to start at fly-half and for Ospreys' teenager Keelan Giles to come in on the wing.
Phillips said he agreed with Howley's decision and that he believed the onus was on the young players to show they are ready for the senior side.
"There's a few guys on the verge, but those youngsters have still got to learn," Phillips told BBC Radio Wales.
"They are young and developing, but they will get their time in seasons to come. But they've got to improve in training and show Rob that they deserve to be first-choice players."
Against France, Phillips believes Howley has got his selection spot on.
He added: "It's a difficult one. In that international jersey should be the best because you are the best in the position. You should not just hand out caps willy-nilly to people.
"The development of the future is an important thing, but that needs to be done in a structured way.
"But it has been difficult because of the way things have panned out. They've looked to get the wins and back those players. The best players in Wales are playing on the field, it's as simple as that really."
The 2017 Premiership Rugby Parliamentary Community Awards recognised those who have contributed to their community programmes and those who have been transformed by them.
"It's about people positively engaging and overcoming adversity through sport," said sports minister Tracey Crouch, who was at the ceremony.
Ben Nutt is one example of that kind of positive engagement. He was diagnosed with ADHD when he was four years old and struggled through school.
"No one would give him the time of day," said his mother Joanne. "All he wanted was for someone to give him a chance."
After a year at college he withdrew into himself and - by his own admission - would hardly come out of his bedroom.
But, after joining the local HITZ programme with London Irish, his confidence improved and he started to find a new purpose in life.
"For a kid with ADHD it gives you a chance to release that energy, so I think it's perfect," Ben said after picking up the BreakThru Achiever award. "I want to recommend this to anyone. Give this programme a try - it will change your life forever."
"I can see a future for my son I didn't before," added Joanne. "And that's all down to London Irish HITZ programme."
Paula Bradbury is helping others to participate in the game and was recognised for her achievements in helping to grow the women's game around Greater Manchester.
"Three years ago my daughter wanted to play rugby, but she didn't want to play with boys," explained Paula after being named Community Volunteer of the Year.
"At that point it was her and a few other girls who had brothers who played - and it went from there really."
Paula helped set up and now runs the girls' and women's teams at Winnington Park RFC near Northwich and gets involved at county level as well. She has even started playing rugby in the past year.
Todd Burge from Bath Rugby's Foundation was named the PLAY Achiever of the Year after embodying the spirit of the PLAY campaign.
Kris Tavender - who gave up his own full-time job to focus on his rugby work - was named Community Coach of the Year.
He was recognised for bringing sport to almost 600 people with a variety of disabilities through Bristol Rugby Community Foundation's Spectrum project.
And Chris Pennell picked up the Premiership Community Player of the Year award for his support of Worcester Warriors' work.
The sports minister concluded the event by congratulating all the winners and nominees "who've not only demonstrated the power of sport in benefiting communities beyond the sport itself - but also making the positive change to people's lives".
She added: "It's fitting that we celebrate the wonderful achievements of the inspirational and dedicated individuals who showcase the unique values of rugby as a tool for good throughout society."
Less than 69% of families in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea were offered their first choice, compared with 83% for London overall.
There was better news for parents in Redcar and Cleveland, where almost 98% got their first choice.
A national average for England will not be available for a couple of weeks.
Parents of three and four-year-olds have been finding out which schools their children will attend next year.
Some early figures are beginning to emerge, with the pan-London Admissions Scheme saying 103,329 pupils applied for primary school places in the capital this year - just 58 fewer than last year - "demonstrating that pressure on places remains strong".
The admissions body says more than 94% of children in London were offered places at one of their top three schools, and almost 97% at one of their top six schools.
This leaves 3% on waiting lists without a school place or allocated places at schools they had not applied for.
London Councils, which runs the admissions scheme, is urging the government to allocate sufficient funding to local authorities to fully meet the cost of providing new school places in the capital.
Outside London, the heaviest pressure to emerge so far is on school places in Reading, where just under 79% of children were offered their first choice of school.
Separately, analysis by the Teach First group has suggested the poorest families lose out in the scramble for places at the most popular primary schools.
The least wealthy families have less than half the chance of the wealthiest of sending a child to a top-rated school, according to analysis from the teacher training group.
Poorer families' children are four times more likely to be at weaker schools, according to the study.
However, the government says many more pupils are now in good or outstanding schools.
Teach First analysed data on Ofsted rankings for all schools in England and mapped it against the areas with the poorest children living in them, using an official measure of deprivation called Income Domain Affecting Children Index (IDACI)
The analysis reveals one area, Blackpool, does not have a single outstanding school, while the Isle of Wight and Thurrock have only one each.
Teach First suggests recruiting more highly qualified teachers and school leaders in poorer areas, where schools face more challenges because of greater levels of deprivation among pupils.
Its report comes as councils say they will need 336,000 more school places by 2024.
And, as the crunch in primary school provision intensifies, council leaders in some areas say the scramble for places at good schools is even more acute.
In Milton Keynes, where there are twice as many pupils going into reception as will be leaving sixth form, council leader Peter Marland says his officials are working hard to keep pace with demand.
It is one of the biggest areas for house building in England, so schools are being built to cater for the occupants of new housing.
But, he says, these schools are fast being filled up by children already living in the city, who cannot get a place nearer their homes.
Cllr Marland says not only are more children travelling further to take up school places, but those from less affluent backgrounds are at a disadvantage in an increasingly complex admissions system.
He says: "Unless schools, or someone, steps into coaching the poorest families on admissions, then it's those from affluent backgrounds that will get the good places."
The research comes as local authorities, who oversee school admissions, are informing parents where their children have been offered places.
Figures on how many parents got their chosen schools is not published nationally for several weeks, but some councils do publish interim figures earlier.
The Local Government Association says they have been striving to meet their duty to find a school place for all children in their area.
They had created an extra 300,000 primary places since 2010, but this had mostly been achieved within the 85% of primary schools that are council-maintained.
Places had been created converting non-classroom areas, increasing class sizes and diverting money away from vital school repair programmes to create more space.
Chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board, Cllr Roy Perry, said: "It isn't just about a place for a child, but the right place."He also expressed concerns about how the needs of vulnerable children will be met under an education system where all schools are academies and operate outside the local authority network.
Parents are notified by their local authority of an offer of a school place, usually by email or letter.
They must accept or refuse the place within a given timeframe.
Those wishing to appeal may do so on one of three grounds:
An appeal may be prepared with the help of a solicitor or legal advisor.
It will be heard by a panel of three people, within 40 days of the appeal deadline.
The panel decides if the school's admission criteria are legal and were properly followed and will weigh up the arguments for an against allowing the appeal.
The decision can only be overturned in court.
A Department for Education spokesman said last year 95.9% of parents in England received an offer at one of their three preferred primaries last year and said its reforms would "ensure we continue to spread excellence everywhere by putting control in the hands of the teachers and school leaders who know their pupils best".
"As well as this, we are backing schemes like Teach First and the National Teaching Service to get great teachers where they are most needed," he added.
Leader of the National Union of Teachers, Christine Blower, said: "Securing a school place for your child should be a straightforward and anxiety-free process.
"Due to the complete negligence of government, however, it is not and many parents will be disappointed today."
The artwork, called Equanimity, was produced by artist Chris Levine to mark 800 years of the island's allegiance to the Crown.
The original has already been on show at the gallery as part of a tour.
Chief Minister Senator Ian Gorst will present the copy on behalf of the island to mark the Diamond Jubilee.
The work that will be given to the National Portrait Gallery is a new, more technically refined version of the original piece.
It was the product of two sittings with the monarch where more than 10,000 individual photographs were made using a tracking camera.
Senator Gorst, who is hosting an official reception in London on 21 May, said: "Equanimity is a remarkable portrait and a fitting tribute to Jersey's long-standing allegiance to the Crown."
The work will also appear on a £100 note and holographic stamp to mark the Jubilee.
Along with the official agenda at the annual trade gathering, Filipinos were talking about everything from traffic woes to the homeless, and gave some world leaders the title of #APEChotties.
One trending hashtag was #APECtado - a play on the Tagalog word "apektado" which means affected by.
The term was used widely by Manila residents to express dissatisfaction at the inconvenience caused by the summit and privileges received by delegates such as dedicated traffic lanes and faster internet speeds.
Manila's infamous traffic snarls worsened - with one woman giving birth on the pavement after her ambulance was stuck in traffic - and the disparity between the clogged public lanes and delegates' lanes quickly became the subject of ridicule online.
Some took issue with the grumbling.
"Complaining about APEC is such an uneducated thing to do, and also a tinge self-centred.... think about the good of the other two to three billion [who] are helped by this thing, and maybe suffer a little bit of inconvenience for a week," said Kaya Cosio.
Another resident Francis Asilo said: "The lives of the heads of state are more important than our conveniences. We only have our families who depend on us. They have entire nations."
But others pointed out that the source of frustration among residents stemmed from deeper issues of dissatisfaction with governance.
Kenneth Manuel pointed out, in a post that went viral, that the event showed that Filipinos "are second-class citizens in our own nation".
"If you have to suspend work and classes to avoid traffic on an international summit, it's evidence that there's something wrong with public transportation... It hurts that street lights get fixed and public cleanliness is at its maximum for this summit, but we have been so used to being patient, silently suffering, for the poor services they provide."
"We all deserve Manila at its best every day, not only when foreigners come to visit."

Filipinos were also enraged by a move by local officials to round up homeless people off the streets in the days leading up to the meet.
Human Rights Watch called it "abuse" and an attempt "to put a cynical veneer of 'cleanliness' on the city for Apec delegates". It also alleged the local government was detaining the homeless against their will.
But authorities said the move had nothing to do with the summit and was part of outreach operations to help them, and denied they were detaining people.
While authorities had done this before, most notably before the visit of Pope Francis in January, residents this time criticised the Philippine government of hypocrisy and for attempting to whitewash the capital's image.
Homeless people were also reportedly pushed out by Apec road clearances into Luneta Park in Manila.
Used to celebrity figures in politics, Filipinos revelled in a little ogling of world leaders, with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto gaining attention in particular.
The two men quickly became objects of affection with the hashtags #APEChotties and #APECbae trending on Twitter.
One particularly popular meme was comparing them to Disney princes - Mr Trudeau as Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid, and Mr Nieto as Prince Charming from Sleeping Beauty.
Filipino President Benigno Aquino even acknowledged the trend, reportedly telling Mr Trudeau at a bilateral talk: "You have a lot of fans here."
Mr Aquino was not left out from the cartoon comparisons either.
Filipinos also cheered for engineer and entrepreneur Aisa Mijeno who shared the stage with US President Barack Obama and Chinese internet tycoon Jack Ma in a segment of Apec's CEO Summit.
Ms Mijeno is the founder and developer of the Sustainable Alternative Lighting (SALt) project, which aims to bring affordable and safe lighting to poor rural communities. Its key product is a lamp which uses water and salt to generate light.
Mr Ma, chairman of e-commerce juggernaut Alibaba, later offered to mentor her.
Ms Mieno's appearance quickly earned her her very own hashtag - #APECdarling.

Sylwia Ciapcinska went missing last July and her remains were found in Burton-upon-Trent in September.
Birmingham Crown Court was told she lived at the same address in Ash Street in Burton as her alleged killer, 29-year-old Pole Tomasz Sobczak.
Mr Sobczak denies the murder of the 24-year-old university graduate.
Prosecutor Christopher Hotten QC said Ms Ciapcinska, known as Magda, was reported missing after her friends went to her home on 28 July.
The suitcase was spotted on 17 September by three passers-by "poking out of a bush" by the River Trent in an area known locally as The Washlands.
One of the group unzipped the case and noticed a pair of broken spectacles before two other men joined them and the case was fully opened.
Mr Sobczak was already in custody charged with murder when the body was found, the court was told.
The trial continues.
The release was announced by a Ukrainian defence ministry adviser, Vasyliy Budik, who said three were soldiers and the fourth a civilian.
On Friday, rebels freed 146 prisoners for 222 people held by the government, in the biggest such swap to date.
President Petro Poroshenko greeted those freed on Friday at an airport.
Elsewhere, Ukraine has frozen vital bus and rail links with Crimea, its southern peninsula annexed by Russia in March.
Crimea has no land corridor to Russia, and relies on a ferry in the Azov Sea and flights from Russia.
The latest moves come ahead of the traditional holiday season in the region, when people travel to be with their families for New Year.
The releases are part of a 12-point peace plan agreed in September, which also included a ceasefire. Fighting continues, however, and more than 1,300 people have died since the truce was announced.
The latest releases took place without any rebels being freed in return, Mr Budik wrote on his Facebook page (in Russian).
He added that the three soldiers had spent around four months in captivity after being captured at Luhansk airport. The fourth person freed was the head of a factory security guard service, he said.
According to the defence adviser, a further 10-12 Ukrainians could be freed shortly.
Friday's prisoner exchange took place near the town of Avdiyivka, about 35km (22 miles) north of Donetsk.
Ukrainian and Russian media showed rows of men in civilian clothes standing on a road, supervised by armed men.
Among the rebels released by the government are a number of civilians from eastern Ukraine, detained as suspected rebel sympathisers, according to the pro-rebel Donetsk News Agency.
Those released include 35 women, the same source said.
The rebel leadership in Donetsk region has appealed to observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the Red Cross to investigate allegations of maltreatment by the Ukrainian authorities.
Inconclusive talks were held this week in Minsk, Belarus, on ending the conflict in eastern Ukraine, which has claimed 4,700 lives.
Ukraine accuses Russia of actively supporting the militants with Russian soldiers and heavy artillery.
The Kremlin denies this but says its regular forces are fighting in eastern Ukraine as volunteers.
People queued at railway stations in Crimea on Saturday to return unused train tickets.
Col Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's security council, told reporters on Saturday that the freeze on public transport traffic to Crimea was expected to be only a temporary security measure.
The Crimean peninsula - which is also heavily dependent on Ukraine's power supplies - has also seen blackouts in recent days.
Kiev says it has to limit supplies, because Ukraine itself is experiencing power shortages.
The world's two largest credit and debit card companies, Visa and Mastercard, have said they can no longer support bank cards being used in Crimea, following fresh US sanctions imposed this month.
Russian media reported that a number of people in Crimea on Friday were unable to withdraw cash or pay for goods bought in local supermarkets.
Ukraine: The human cost

A study found the gangs were not hierarchical, organised criminal groups but friends that had grown up in the same area.
It suggested violence was an "accepted part of their lives".
The research looked at 60 members of 21 city gangs and was carried out by Johanne Miller from the University of the West of Scotland.
She spent weeks working with the participants as part of a PhD.
She said: "The process that emerged from participants was that young people aged between four and 12 began playing in the few streets that made up their scheme - a council-built estate - and began from a young age to be socialised into street culture.
"These children have grown up hearing stories of territorial rivals and the crimes they enact.
"So within the child's conscious there is a known enemy, an 'other' out there who is already a threat in their minds.
"They would begin absorbing street culture transmitted through story-telling and observations of older children in the area and family members.
"They would adopt the gang name, start using it and decide whether they wanted to fight or not. This is how they grew into the gang.
"This violence then becomes more serious for core members, and conflict becomes a central binding agent of the gang."
Ms Miller said her research revealed that between the ages of 14 and 18, gang members spent four to six hours each day on the street, and longer at weekends.
They mostly occupied derelict buildings, parking lots, abandoned houses and factories and forests, with fighting taking place away from CCTV or regular police patrols, she added.
The research revealed a fight could start if a member entered another gang's territory and shouted their scheme's name.
"Territorialism is the conflict that creates tensions between other groups, and it separates and divides them from other young people and eventually traps them into their scheme through fear of reprisal," she added.
However, it was found that members drifted away from a gang after about three years, with every participant saying they wanted to progress to get a job and many expressing a "real fear" they would turn out to be worthless.
Ms Miller will talk about her research findings at the British Sociological Association's annual conference in Glasgow.
Jenny Palmer was replying to a Facebook comment expressing surprise she had not brought a "refugee" home from a Somme commemoration event in France.
"I have 2 dogs don't need anymore thank you," she wrote.
On Tuesday, Mrs Palmer said the comments "do not reflect my own views" and apologised for any hurt her "careless words" may have caused.
She had been on a coach trip to the Somme with a man who posted an image of a bus being inspected at France's Channel Tunnel, with a post including an offensive, racist word.
In reply to that post, another Facebook user suggested that the Lagan Valley MLA might have brought some refugees home to Northern Ireland after the trip.
Ms Palmer replied: "I have 2 dogs don't need anymore thank you William Houston lol".
When challenged by another Facebook user, the MLA explained that her intention had been misunderstood.
She said it was "perhaps bad grammar, just no room at 18a for anymore visitors sorry you misunderstood and will try better".
The posts have since been deleted.
In statement of apology released to the BBC's Nolan Show on Tuesday, Mrs Palmer said:
"I would like first of all to apologise for any hurt that my careless words may have caused. These comments and actions do not reflect my own views.
"My words, made in reply to a Facebook comment, were intended as a joking remark regarding the busy-ness of my own home.
"The intention was to imply that between myself, my husband, our dogs and my daughter, we would struggle to accommodate anyone else.
"This was meant as a simple joke."
A UUP spokesperson said: "Jenny Palmer MLA has apologised for her comments and accepts that they were wholly inappropriate."
The spokesperson added: "We should respond to human tragedy with compassion."
This means about 7.5 million people will not be able to vote for a woman.
The Scarborough and Whitby constituency has the longest men-only slate of candidates, with a total of eight male hopefuls.

There are six seats in Wales and five seats in Scotland without a woman on the ballot.
The other 93 constituencies are all in England, as Northern Ireland is the only nation in the UK to have a female candidate in every constituency.
Within England, there are big regional differences in the number of seats being contested by at least one woman.
London comes closest to providing the option, with only 8% of seats not meeting the criteria - while in the West Midlands more than a quarter of all seats being contested lack female representation.
Northern Ireland also has the highest average for female candidates per seat - with 34 standing across the 18 seats available.
Overall, the 104 seats without female candidates is a fall from 2015 - then there were 124 seats across England, Scotland and Wales with no female contenders.
But there is one seat where it is impossible to elect a man to Parliament: Glasgow Central has four names on the ballot list - and they are all female.
The last time an all-female line-up was reported was in the 1992 contest in Lewisham Deptford between three women.

The National Union of Teachers' report says pupils are developing stress-related conditions linked to testing.
Based on a survey of 8,000 teachers and a review of research, the report says drilling for tests has narrowed what children are learning.
The government said it is determined to ensure every child is able to realise their potential.
The report, Exam Factories? The Impact of Accountability Measures on Children and Young People, by Prof Merryn Hutchings of London Metropolitan University, says pupils' emotional health and wellbeing is suffering because of "high-stakes testing".
These are the national tests, exams and progress measures which the government uses to hold schools to account.
Most teachers surveyed for the report agreed pupils became "very stressed/anxious in the time leading up to Sats/public examinations".
One teacher said: "You just see them sat there, a 10- or 11-year-old kid in complete meltdown."
Another said: "I have just had a child off school for three days because he was so worried about his recent test result and didn't want to take any more tests."
Lucie Russell, director of campaigns at mental health charity Young Minds, which backed the report, said: "Both pupils and teachers are under a lot of pressure to achieve results in a pressure cooker, exam factory environment.
"Many of the young people Young Minds works with say that they feel completely defined by their grades and that this is very detrimental to their wellbeing and self-esteem."
According to the report, the tests affect both able and less able pupils similarly.
One secondary school special-needs co-ordinator said: "The higher ability [pupils], and the ones with the very supportive or pushy parents, are receiving higher levels of stress because of how much is being expected of them.
"I think the lower end or those with maybe less supportive parents as well are suffering from the fact that they are not being given a curriculum that suits them."
The report also argued the focus on testing was harming pupil-teacher relationships, with teachers less able to view pupils in the round.
One junior school teacher said: "I am in danger of seeing them more in terms of what colour they are in my pupils' list eg are they red (below expectation), green (above expectation) or purples (Pupil Premium) - rather than as individuals."
Kevin Courtney, deputy general-secretary of the NUT, said: "Teachers at the sharp end are saying this loud and clear, 'If it isn't relevant to a test then it is not seen as a priority.'
"The whole culture of a school has become geared towards meeting government targets and Ofsted expectations. As this report shows, schools are on the verge of becoming 'exam factories'."
He argued the accountability agenda was "damaging children's experience of education", which should be joyful and leave them with "a thirst for knowledge for the rest of their lives".
A Department for Education spokesperson said: "Part of our commitment to social justice is the determination to ensure every child is given an education that allows them realise their potential.
"That's why we are raising standards with a rigorous new curriculum, world class exams and new accountability system that rewards those schools which help every child to achieve their best."
Ofqual is scrapping home economics, citizenship studies and communication and culture A-levels.
GCSEs in catering, digital communications, expressive arts and home economics are also being axed.
Ofqual said it based its decisions on whether the subjects "were of an appropriate level of academic demand".
A number of educationalists have expressed dismay at the rise of media studies as an academic subject.
When he was a Labour education minister, David Blunkett, publicly regretted that too many youngsters were taking "narrow" courses like media studies, instead of studying, what he saw as, broader, more intellectually rewarding courses such as history.
The announcement on future exam subjects comes amid a shake-up of examinations, with new strengthened GCSEs in maths, English and English literature due to be taught first in schools this coming September.
A range of core A and AS-levels in English, maths, the sciences and some humanities subjects are also due to be introduced in the autumn.
All GCSEs and A-levels are based on core content for each subject. That core content is determined by the Department for Education following public consultation.
When deciding which subjects to keep, Ofqual asked examination boards to demonstrate that they would be meeting this core content for each subject.
If they could not persuade Ofqual they could do this, then the subject would not be continued at present.
Ofqual also sought to reduce the doubling up of subjects and content in qualifications.
For example, as home economics is dropped, a new GCSE in cooking and nutrition is due to be taught in schools from 2016.
Chief exams regulator Glenys Stacey said: "It is now for the Department for Education to consider whether content can be developed for those subjects that we think could meet our principles and, in turn, for exam boards to decide whether to submit specifications to us for accreditation.
"Importantly, we are not ruling out the future development of any subject."
AS and A-levels being scrapped: Anthropology, applied arts and design, applied business, applied information and communication technology, applied science, citizenships, communications, communications and culture, economics and culture, home economics, human biology, humanities.
GCSE subjects being scrapped: Additional and further additional science, additional applied science, applied business, applied science, business and communication systems, business studies and economics, catering, digital communications, environmental science, expressive arts, home economics - food and nutrition.
The woman, in her 60s, approached the pair outside Waitrose, in Kingsthorpe, Northampton, and said the girl should be in her pushchair.
She then picked the girl up, put her in the chair, and slapped her around the face when she started to cry.
Northamptonshire Police appealed for witnesses to the attack, which happened at about 10:00 BST on 27 April.
The attacker is described as white, about 5ft 4in (1.62m) in height, with a slim build and black, frizzy, long hair.
She was wearing bright red lipstick, a black coat, black trousers and boots.
Drivers for agencies contracted by the internet giant told an undercover reporter they were expected to deliver up to 200 parcels a day.
Some admitted breaking speed limits to stay on schedule, while others said time was not allowed for toilet breaks.
Amazon said it was committed to ensuring drivers drive safely and legally, and are "fairly compensated".
The retailer could face questions in parliament over the working conditions at the company.

England's oddest phrases explained
A BBC reporter got a job with AHC services, one of many agencies which supplies drivers to the firm's delivery wing Amazon Logistics in the south of England, and which the BBC had heard a lot of complaints about.
During a two-week stint with AHC at Amazon's Avonmouth depot in Bristol, he said he:
Several drivers told him they were paid the equivalent of an hourly rate below the national minimum wage of £7.20, mainly due to working long hours to deliver all the parcels they were assigned.
A day in the life of an Amazon driver
Some agency staff complained the system does not allow for traffic jams and does not factor in time for breaks, he said.
Former driver, Charlie Chikaviro, said the pressure to deliver parcels left him with no choice but to drive quickly.
"I had to, the way it was designed. You're going to have to do that," he said.
"I had a few crashes... but not bad crashes."
Cody Cooper, a former supervisor who left AHC services a year ago, said she ordered one driver, who fell asleep at the wheel, to stop driving because she feared he could "end up killing someone".
"It was coming up to school time and there could [have been] a group of schoolchildren walking along... and he could have steered off," she said.
"I wasn't willing to live with that."
Amazon Logistics requires agency drivers to be self-employed, and therefore not entitled to the minimum wage or employment rights like sick pay or holiday pay.
Tonia Novitz, professor of labour law at Bristol University, said in her opinion drivers contracted by AHC should not be classed as self-employed, because they do not determine their own routes, days of work or rest periods.
"From the evidence I've seen, which suggests [the undercover reporter] would be regarded as a worker or agency worker, he should be getting the national minimum wage," she said.
In a statement Amazon said: "As independent contractors of our delivery providers, drivers deliver at their own pace, take breaks at their discretion, and are able to choose the suggestion route or develop their own."
The company said it expected drivers to be paid a minimum of £12 per hour "before bonuses, incentives and fuel reimbursements", and it required independent delivery providers to ensure drivers were fully licensed and insured and obeyed "all applicable traffic and safety laws".
In the past six months, drivers drove a daily average of 8.5 hours and were on duty for 9.1 hours, it added.
Oxford-based AHC dismissed claims put to them by the BBC as "historic and based on isolated examples which occurred over a year ago" and said: "Since then we have made changes to the way our checks are carried out and taken a number of steps to improve our ways of working."
The firm said it took road safety and the welfare of its contracted drivers "extremely seriously", and that drivers were free to choose when they worked.
Iain Wright, the Labour MP and chair of the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy select committee, told the BBC: "These are serious allegations that call into question a lot of business practises carried out by Amazon.
"There are rising challenges in respect of what's happening with online retail and ever growing customer demand.
"It's a balance - it's making sure that the customer gets what he or she wants, at a time that is suitable for them. But it shouldn't be done on the back of exploitation of workers."
BBC Inside Out West's undercover report can be seen on BBC One in England at 19:30 BST on Friday 11 November, and afterwards on the BBC iPlayer.
Earlier Toshiba had delayed issuing its results, but it then said it was set to report a net loss of 390bn yen ($3.4bn) in the year to March 2017.
The company said it expected to take a 712.5 billion yen ($6.3bn, £5bn) writedown at its US nuclear business.
The situation has led some analysts to warn the company's future is at risk.
Toshiba: What's going wrong?
Mr Shiga was stepping down "to take management responsibility for the loss", the firm said.
Shares fell by as much as 9% on Tuesday and have lost about 50% since late December, when it first warned about the extent of the problems.
The losses are linked to a deal done by its US subsidiary, Westinghouse Electric, when it bought a nuclear construction and services business from Chicago Bridge & Iron in 2015.
Assets that it took on are likely to be worth less than initially thought and there is also a dispute about payments that are due.
It has already announced plans to sell off part of its profitable memory chip business to raise funds. It is the second largest chip maker in the world, behind Samsung.
The company is still struggling to recover after it emerged in 2015 that profits had been overstated for seven years, prompting the chief executive to resign.
Toshiba has a 60% stake in NuGen, a joint venture with France's Engie, which has the contract to build a new nuclear power plant in Cumbria in the UK.
It is estimated that the Moorside plant will eventually provide as much as 7% of the UK's energy needs.
In a statement, NuGen said: "NuGen acknowledges the announcement that Toshiba's review into the future of its nuclear power business outside Japan is complete and that it remains committed to developing NuGen's Moorside Project."
Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark said: "I welcome the continued commitment of the NuGen consortium to the Moorside project. The UK Government is committed to new nuclear as an important part of our energy mix."
Tom Greatrex, chief executive of the UK Nuclear Industry Association, said: "Building new nuclear capacity in west Cumbria is an integral part of the UK being able to replace old power stations, keeping a balanced mix as carbon emissions are reduced. This is a vital part of our country's energy future."
The 29-year-old is accused of causing the death of Joetta Shumba in a crash on the M62 on 24 January.
Ms Shumba, 25, was in a grey Audi S3 that collided with a lorry near the Eccles Interchange, Greater Manchester.
The injured driver of the car was arrested on Friday after trying to leave hospital, police said.
The crash caused the lorry to overturn and the road was closed for more than 11 hours.
The family of Ms Shumba, a mother of one, paid tribute to her, saying: "Joetta was our everything. She loved her son more than life itself."
PC Paul Joynson, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "Fortunately we had a plan in place to prevent this man absconding from the area, and he is now under guard at hospital while he awaits an operation.
"I also think it is necessary to clarify some of the details of the collision, as there has been some misreporting in the press about exactly what happened.
"The Audi collided with the back of the HGV with such force that it caused it to overturn, but at no point did the lorry land on top of the car." | A motorcyclist has been killed in a crash with a car in East Sussex.

Transport Minister Humza Yousaf chaired the event at Easterbrook Hall on the Crichton campus.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney also attended the summit looking at concerns about road, rail and bus services in Dumfries and Galloway.
Among the issues discussed was increased investment in the A75 from Gretna to Stranraer.
"We have said that we will be reviewing the National Transport Strategy, it needs that review," said Mr Yousaf.
"That's a strategic 20-year look at transport across Scotland - that initial conversation is starting with the summit here today."
However, he said it would be "silly" to have come to Dumfries with a list of plans before listening to communities.
"We have got to listen to what they want," he said.
"We are going to put that - in four weeks' time - to the public, it will be publicly available and the public will be able to give us their thoughts on what is being said and what is being suggested.
"Then we will continue the conversation - this will not be the last time I will be in Dumfries and Galloway - so we will be back again."
Dumfriesshire's Conservative MSP Oliver Mundell described the summit as a "huge missed opportunity" and said the failure to promise any investment was a "slap in the face" for local people.
"This transport summit was historic but for all the wrong reasons as it turned out to be a major disappointment in terms of a lack of action from the Scottish government for much-needed transport projects in this region," he said.
"The SNP have been in power for almost a decade and had a perfect opportunity here to outline a timescale for investment to the people of Dumfries and Galloway, yet all we had again was a talking shop and it's turned out to be a huge missed opportunity for real action.
"I didn't expect John Swinney to come to Dumfries with his hard hat and shovel on to the meeting but I would have thought he could have opened his wallet up to help support many projects that local people have been fighting for years to achieve."
The body of Austin Bellew, 41, from Llandudno, Conwy county, was found off Hoylake, Wirral, in February.
His sister, Sandra, told the hearing officers were "dismissive" of the threat claim and did not investigate.
The inquest at Ruthin, Denbighshire, was adjourned with North Wales Police given 28 days to provide a statement.
Mr Bellew had been missing for a month when his body was found six miles off shore by a boat crew.
His sister said: "There are too many question marks about how he ended upon the sea", with the family raising concerns about an "insufficient police investigation".
Adjourning the inquest, North Wales East and Central assistant coroner Nicola Jones said: "We might not get any further and if the police did carry out an investigation, then fine."
A number of groups including the Freight Transport Association, Federation of Small Businesses and Canary Wharf Group were there to voice some concerns.
Other groups like Cycling Works and the mayor's cycling commissioner also argued that Londoners deserved safer cycle lanes.
There were lots of people there on both sides of the debate. You can see a recap of the debate here.
This was my opening where I summed up a few moments that have stuck in my mind from covering cycling over the years:
"The first time I heard about cycle lanes being put on the Embankment was in 2008, I was at a briefing with one of the mayor's aides. He said something along the lines of there's "plenty of room on the Embankment pavement for some cycle lanes".
That was six years ago so it shows you how long these things take and that this idea is not new.
The other image that sticks with me is when Mayor Boris Johnson appeared in front of the cycling hustings in 2012 just before the mayoral elections when the Times and London Cycling Campaign had started campaigning for segregated lanes.
He thought he was amongst friends but the reception was hostile.
The mayor looked visibly shocked. Shortly after that he changed his cycling policy to join the other candidates to push segregation.
The other thing that sticks in my mind is the coroners' hearings of cyclists killed that I have sat through; you don't forget the dignity of someone like Debbie Dorling whose husband died at Bow roundabout.
It was also in a coroners' court that I saw the father of a girl who died cycling.
He walked over to the HGV driver who had unwittingly killed his daughter. He looked him in the eye, shook his hand and walked out.
In my experience all those involved in cycling deaths are devastated. In my opinion something needs to be done. So what is the answer? Is it segregated cycling superhighways?"
What was striking to me chairing the debate was how there is quite a lot of common ground between the groups. There was talk of working together between Canary Wharf and the mayor's cycling commissioner.
What was also striking is there will be compromises on the east/west cycle superhighway. They will be changed to take on board the concerns over increases in vehicle congestion.
We don't know what the mitigation will be (Cycling Commissioner Andrew Gilligan wouldn't tell us) but expect changes. Transport for London is now going through every one of the 20,000 consultation responses. That has slowed down the process.
The new plans when they emerge next year will face huge scrutiny from both sides of the debate.
Will cyclists be satisfied? Will business?

A court hearing with Apple scheduled for Tuesday has been postponed at the request of the US Justice Department (DOJ), Apple has confirmed.
The DOJ had ordered Apple to help unlock the phone used by San Bernardino gunman Rizwan Farook.
But Apple has continued to fight the order, saying it would set a "dangerous precedent".
Rizwan Farook and his wife killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California, last December before police fatally shot them.
UN human rights chief backs Apple
Apple boss hits back at FBI conduct
McAfee offers to unlock iPhone for FBI
Ever since this issue arose, security experts have been saying "surely the FBI can do this themselves?" Well, maybe now they can.
An "outside party" - you'd assume a security company, but we don't know for sure - has approached the FBI and said it could unlock the phone.
If they can do it, the court case is irrelevant. The FBI gets what they need. But if it doesn't work, we'll find ourselves back here to resume the trial.
Apple's legal team told reporters it wasn't treating it as a legal victory. The issue still looms large over the company. If the FBI has found a way, who's to say it'll always work? Apple will, as any software maker would, frantically try to fix the flaw. After all - if the FBI can do it, so can any other hacker privy to the same information.
If this method works, then what? With each new iteration of iOS, Apple could find itself back in court.
The technology industry, led by Apple, has called for the matter to be debated in Congress. This case may be on the brink of going away, but the debate is just starting.

Prosecutors said "an outside party" had demonstrated a possible way of unlocking the iPhone without the need to seek Apple's help.
"Testing is required to determine whether it is a viable method that will not compromise data on Farook's iPhone," a court filing said.
"If the method is viable, it should eliminate the need for the assistance from Apple."
DOJ spokeswoman Melanie Newman said in a statement that the government was "cautiously optimistic" that the possible method to unlock the phone would work.
The government said it would update the court on 5 April.
Attorneys for Apple told reporters that the firm had no idea what method the FBI was exploring to try to unlock the phone.
They said they hoped that the government would share with Apple any vulnerabilities of the iPhone that might come to light.
The FBI says Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik were inspired by so-called Islamic State and that the encrypted iPhone may contain crucial evidence.
It wants to access the data but the device can only be unlocked by entering the correct passcode.
Guessing the code incorrectly too many times could permanently delete all data on the phone, so the FBI had asked Apple to develop a new version of its operating system that circumvents some of its security features.
Last month the DOJ obtained a court order directing Apple to create that software,
But Apple has fought back, stating that creating a compromised version of the operating system would have security implications for millions of iPhone users and would set a precedent.
The company has received support from other tech giants including, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, as it resisted a court order to unlock the iPhone.

Kate Stanton-Davies died after delays transferring her from Ludlow Community Hospital, in Shropshire, to a doctor-led maternity unit in March 2009.
Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust (SaTH) "failed to establish facts and accountability", the review said.
Chief executive Simon Wright apologised "unreservedly" for the shortcomings.
Kate, who had anaemia, was born "pale and floppy" and died after being taken by air ambulance to Birmingham's Heartlands Hospital.
Repeated signs the pregnancy was not low-risk were not picked up and her death was avoidable, an earlier NHS England-led review found.
Serious concerns about the fitness to practise of two midwives were also raised.
The purpose of the current review was to determine whether the trust fulfilled its responsibility to establish the facts about why the death occurred.
In conclusion, it stated the trust had not carried out a "robust managerial investigation", failed to hold staff to account and failed to address concerns raised by Kate's parents, Richard Stanton and Rhiannon Davies.
Without the couple's tenacity in seeking the truth of the circumstances, vital lessons would not have been learnt, the report said.
"For this, the trust is indebted to Ms Davies and Mr Stanton," it stated.
"The trust should work in partnership with Kate's parents to establish a fitting acknowledgement of the contribution they have made to the safety and quality of maternity services at SaTH."
Mr Wright from the trust said: "We fully acknowledge the failings identified in this report and the harm they have caused to Richard and Rhiannon."
Ms Davies told BBC News they felt they have had the answers for "a long time", but have been battling to get the hospital to accept them.
"Over the years, they have constantly been telling us to go away and that our concerns were unfounded," she said.

Trueman Jagger, a Limousin bull, was bought at Carlisle mart by a syndicate of five buyers.
He was sold by Henry Savage and Sons, who breed pedigree cattle on their Cullyhanna farm.
"From when he was a calf, he was a superstar - we knew that he was a really special calf," says Henry Sr.
When registering the bull, they had to pick a name to live up to his star quality, and Mr Savage says that as his family are big music fans, Jagger was the obvious choice.
At just 12 months old, the bull stole the Balmoral Show in May, winning reserve overall champion, and Mr Savage says that since then, he continued to grow at a staggering rate.
"He weighed 690kg at that stage, and when we weighed him again on the Saturday before the sale, he was 1,065kg," he says.
"He'd put on 2.47kg every day from the Monday before Balmoral, so that just shows you what sort of an animal he was - he's basically the perfect animal."
The price fetched by the bull was a new UK and European all-breeds bovine record.
It was also a new world record price for Limousin bulls.
Mr Savage has been working with pedigree breeds for 18 years, "and every year you're trying to improve the quality of cattle on the farm".
"We are very lucky in that his granny is a terrific cow - we still have her - the daughter was even better, and this bull was the finished article," he says.
"He had no weaknesses, he was good in every area - great length, great shape, nice head, nice colouring and good growth."
Mr Savage says the buyers will be hoping that these attributes will be passed to Trueman Jagger's progeny.
"The more cows that he puts in calf, the better chance there is of him producing another superstar," he says.
Mr Savage says that while the bull will be missed around the farmyard, "we know he's away to five fantastic homes".
In its filing, the company said it was seeking to raise $1bn (£589m). But that figure is seen just as an estimate to calculate various fees.
Analysts expect it to raise more than $15bn and top Facebook's share sale.
Alibaba did not disclose details of the number of shares it intends to sell or their price range.
It also did not reveal which US exchange - the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange - it is looking to list its shares on.
Founded 15 years ago by Jack Ma, the firm has been a dominant force in e-commerce in China and is now the biggest online retailer in the country.
While it has been a key player in the sector for many years, its filing gave investors the first glimpse at the firm's finances.
The firm generated revenues of 40.5bn yuan ($6.5bn; £3.8bn) in the nine months to the end of December 2013, making a net profit of $2.9bn.
The documents reveal that last year, the value of all merchandise sold on Alibaba's various platforms was $248bn, with more than 11.3 billion orders placed.
The total value of merchandise sold on its platforms last year was more than that sold on Amazon and eBay combined.
In a nod to the importance of smartphones, the firm said it was responsible for 72% of mobile commerce in China.
That is important as Alibaba has been locked in competition recently with rival Tencent - China's largest internet firm - to attract mobile shoppers.
Analysts said there was likely to be keen interest in the share sale as investors hope the firm will be able to replicate its success in China on a global scale.
"If it is able to transport that kind of power to outside China, it has the potential to become a true global e-commerce powerhouse," said Roger Entner, lead analyst and founder of Recon Analytics.
Among the major shareholders set to benefit from the listing are US technology giant Yahoo and Japan's Softbank.
Yahoo owns a 22.6% stake in the firm, while Softbank owns 34% of the company.
Yahoo had paid $1bn for a 40% stake in Alibaba in 2005.
It sold half of that stake back to Alibaba in May 2012 for $7.1bn. That deal saw the Chinese firm pay Yahoo $6.3bn in cash and up to $800m in Alibaba's preferred stock.
According to an agreement between the two firms, Yahoo has to either sell a part of its remaining stake in Alibaba back to the Chinese firm ahead of the share sale, or include its shares in those being sold to investors.
SoftBank will continue to own more than 30% stake in Alibaba after the listing.
Alibaba's various other operations include a cloud computing business and a group buying website.
Its online payments processing network, Alipay, was spun off in 2011 and is not a part of the listing.
The filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission is just the first step in what is expected to be a process that will take several months before Alibaba's stock listing.
Research by the Campaign for Better Transport says subsidies to routes have been reduced by £78m since 2010, with another £27m under threat this year.
It likens the situation to the cuts to about a third of the rail network made on the back of a report by Dr Beeching in the 1960s.
Councils say "difficult decisions" are being made amid government cuts.
The Campaign for Better Transport says reductions in local authority funding had already resulted in thousands of bus services being reduced or cancelled in recent years.
According to its research, people in Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Somerset, Dorset, West Berkshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, North Yorkshire and Lancashire will be among the worst affected.
Oxfordshire County Council says it is looking to save nearly £4m by cutting subsidies to more than 100 routes. It told the BBC it had been left with no choice but to include buses in the services it was cutting, because of an overall reduction in government funding to councils.
Martin Abrams, from the Campaign for Better Transport, said: "Up and down the country utterly devastating cuts are now being inflicted on our vital bus services on a par with the swingeing and misguided cuts the government and Dr Beeching made to our rail network which decimated services back in the 1960s."
Buses are overseen by the Department for Transport in England and the Welsh Assembly in Wales, but decisions on funding for services are made by local authorities.
Transport minister Andrew Jones said: "The government protected around £250m of funding for bus services in England, provided through the Bus Service Operators Grant, as part of last year's spending review."
He said ministers had also provided £7.6m in support for 37 local transport schemes in rural areas, while more than 300 charities and community groups across England would benefit from new minibuses through a £25m fund.
He added: "We are also developing measures in the upcoming Buses Bill so local authorities can deliver improved bus services."
The Welsh government, meanwhile, said last month it was committed to improving the quality and accessibility of local bus services.
Labour's shadow transport minister Daniel Zeichner said: "David Cameron promised to keep the free bus pass but he cut the buses instead. Labour would make sure that local communities have the power to make bus operators provide the services local people need."
Peter Box, the Local Government Association's transport spokesman, called for the concessionary fares under which councils provide free off-peak travel for elderly and disabled residents to be fully funded by the government.
He added: "Councils know how important buses are for their communities and local economies and are desperate to protect them. Instead, many across the country are reluctantly taking difficult decisions to scale back services and review subsidised routes as a result."

She said his remains were traced to Hamelin graveyard after uncertainty over whether they were moved in 1950.
Nazi German forces ruled the Channel Islands from June 1940 until May 1945.
Mr Machon was in charge of the Guernsey Undercover News Service (Guns) - a loose collection of people who secretly listened to the BBC News on home-built radios or sets they had not handed in. They shared news with other islanders.
In May 1944, he was sent to Rheinbach prison in Germany, and moved to Hamelin prison four months later, dying there on 26 October.
Dr Carr said he died "because of a stomach ulcer".
She said: "He needed special food, and that was not provided in prison, so he didn't last very long."
Dr Carr said an investigation by her research assistant, Rod Miller, revealed the Guernseyman had been buried in the Lower Saxony town of Hamelin.
However, it had been previously uncertain if his remains were moved when a number of bodies were transferred elsewhere in 1950.
Also, many gravestones were removed or laid flat in 1973 "because then it would be easier to mow the lawn, which would not be allowed today. His stone was one removed."
She said: "According to a cemetery handbook, Mr Machon's was not one of those [bodies] that was moved, which meant that his body was in the graveyard all along."
Eamon Rory Owen McTaggart broke into the house at Tamneymore Park in October 2013.
He is currently serving a seven-year jail sentence in Maghaberry Prison for robbery, drugs and other burglary offences.
McTaggart has been disqualified for driving for five years and fined £350.
He gained access to the house by taking a spare set of keys and then stole his mothers car, while she was sleeping in bed.
It was found in a damaged condition at Rosemount Avenue by members of the police.
McTaggart was sitting in the driver seat and was three times the legal limit for alcohol.
A defence barrister said that the actions of McTaggart, who has 33 previous convictions, were reprehensible.
The barrister said McTaggart's prison release date was late 2018.
Journalist and activist Zsolt Bayer is best known for his xenophobic views and close ties to the ruling party of Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
In a matter of days around 80 leading Hungarian intellectuals have declared that they want nothing to do with Mr Bayer, who was recently awarded the Knight's Cross, the country's third highest state medal.
A petition calling for him to be stripped of the award has garnered more than 4,000 signatures.
Mr Bayer is a long-term ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orban and a founding member of the governing Fidesz party. He has organised numerous mass rallies to express support for government policies.
He also writes a regular column for conservative pro-government newspaper Magyar Hirlap in which he frequently makes anti-Roma, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim comments, often couched in extremely crude terms.
The US Holocaust Museum says his statements are as extreme as those emanating from Hungary's racist, ultranationalist, and xenophobic Jobbik party.
His newspaper has twice been fined by the state media authority for publishing articles deemed to constitute hate speech. In 2013 he wrote a vitriolic piece about Roma, and in 2015 he said all refugee boys over the age of 14 were "potential terrorists".
The Knight's Cross was conferred on him by President Janos Ader on the occasion of Hungary's national day, 20 August.
The government gazette said he had been honoured "in recognition of his exemplary journalistic activity" in bringing to public attention a number of "national causes", including the fate of victims of communism and the situation of the ethnic Hungarian community in Transylvania.
But there was immediate anger. Former ethnic rights ombudsman Jeno Kaltenbach was first to hand back his own honour to the president.
In an open letter to the president, Mr Kaltenbach explained that giving the Knight's Cross to a "purveyor of hatred" such as Bayer "dishonoured" the award.
Other eminent Hungarians soon followed suit, issuing their own statements spelling out why they did not wish to be associated in any way with Mr Bayer.
News website 24.hu said Mr Bayer had once shown great promise as a writer but was now better known "as someone who spews out obscenities as if there were no tomorrow, calls entire ethnic groups animals and urges his followers to spread conspiracy theories".
The opposition party Together described him as "the most foul-mouthed journalist of the last 25 years", according to the newspaper Nepszabadsag.
The government has shown no sign of acceding to the protesters' demands. Mr Bayer himself has said that he will only consider handing back his award once 1,450 out of the 1,500 recipients of state honours have returned theirs.

Allardyce blamed the Volcanic ash cloud, as well as financial worries, for scuppering the potential deal for the striker, then at Lech Poznan.
"I think about it every time I see him play," said Allardyce, who was sacked as Blackburn manager in December 2010.
Lewandowski could join Bayern Munich from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
The 24-year-old Poland international striker, who has also been linked with a move to Manchester United, scored all four of his side's goals in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
"My distant memory isn't that great, but I think John Williams [former Rovers chairman] and the board said we are not going to commit that amount of money," said Allardyce.
"I think they wanted three or four million euros (£2.6m or £3.5m), but we were particularly strapped financially at the time at Blackburn.
"I watched him play, but I didn't get the chance to meet him. I think his agent said he couldn't come over because of the ash cloud."
All flights in and out of the UK and several other European countries were suspended as ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland sparked fears of engine damage in April 2010.
Lewandowski eventually signed for Borussia Dortmund in June 2010 and has gone on to score 74 goals in three seasons in Germany, including 10 in this season's Champions League.
"He's probably worth 40m euros (£33m) now," said Allardyce, who instead bought Croatian Nikola Kalinic for around £6m.
"There were a lot of people looking at him at that time as well, but we had the edge over everyone else because of the attraction of the Premier League. He could have used us as a stepping stone but it didn't happen."
Among those on Drottninggatan (Queen Street) on Friday afternoon was Glen Foran.
"I turned around and saw a big truck coming towards me. It swerved from side to side. It didn't look out of control, it was trying to hit people," the Australian tourist told Reuters.
"It hit people, it was terrible. It hit a pram with a kid in it, demolished it," he said.
"It took a long time for police to get here. I suppose from their view it was quick, but it felt like forever."
John Backvid was at the scene moments after the truck crashed. He told the BBC his initial thought was that it was likely to have been some kind of attack.
"Some people were on the ground doing CPR in the beginning, " he said.
"And I was standing there for maybe 30 seconds before the first police car arrived.
"Quite soon after that they started clearing the area - one or two minutes."
Annevi Petersson was in Stockholm for a birthday spa weekend. She was in a shop when she heard screaming outside.
"I heard the noise, I heard the screams, I saw the people as I walked out," she told the BBC.
Just outside the store, she saw "a dead dog - the owner screaming", and a woman with a severed foot.
"There was blood everywhere, there were bodies on the ground."
She said she could see "people standing by their loved ones, but also people running away, mainly into the minor streets around".
There was a "sense of sheer panic", she added.
Gustav Hokkanen works in a nearby shop.
"I'd gone to a local pub after work," he told the BBC shortly after the attack.
"We had a drink and then I heard a helicopter above us. Then our local media reported that a truck had driven into people. I ran towards it because that's where my workplace is, a shop.
"All my fellow employees are safe, I've checked. It's a total lockdown right now."
Jonathan Lappin is a science teacher at an international school in Stockholm. He was in a coffee shop near the main station when the attack happened.
He told the BBC: "People started to, like, mass panic and run the other way and I thought they were like actually chasing a celebrity or something because they all had phones out.
"And then people started to actually panic and run into the coffee shop and start crowding the back of it. We were, like: Oh no, something serious is happening here.
"They started to crawl out the window and that's when I started to see the police arrive at the station and were yelling very loudly at people to evacuate and get out of the station."
Niklas Edren, 32, was in a building one block away from Drottninggaten. His building was under lockdown, and he saw an injured person being carried away.
"There seems to be a feeling now that it is over but there are still police everywhere... we have locked down the doors to our building."
On Friday, Mourinho had warned his relationship with the media would be changing after phone camera footage of him in west London was published.
"You don't get good and funny headlines from me now," Mourinho said.
Gary Cahill was the only Chelsea player to speak after the game, saying: "We are not feeling sorry for ourselves."
Cahill had levelled after Mauro Zarate put West Ham ahead, but Andy Carroll's late header gave the Hammers the points.

The derby defeat was Chelsea's fifth in their opening 10 league matches this season, and came after Mourinho, assistant first team coach Silvino Louro and midfielder Nemanja Matic were all sent off.
Louro was dismissed for his reaction to Matic's second booking before half-time, while Mourinho was shown a red card for comments he made to referee Jon Moss during the interval.
Mourinho watched most of the second half from the directors' box at Upton Park, but disappeared shortly after Carroll headed home West Ham's winner.
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said that he had spoken to Mourinho after the match.
"I feel for him," Bilic said. "Decisions from his point of view have gone against him. I would moan if it was against us. But they are not mistakes; they are matters of opinion."
Mourinho has been caught up in controversy numerous times this season, including banishing team doctor Eva Carneiro from the bench and being handed a £50,000 Football Association fine and suspended stadium ban for saying officials were "afraid" to award his side penalties.
Cilliers, 29, won six Springboks caps in 2012 and joins from Montpellier.
McGuigan, 22, has played 59 first-team games for the Falcons having graduated from their academy, while 25-year-old Brady leaves Sale after six seasons.
Meanwhile, Jono Kitto, 23, George Catchpole, 23, and Jack Roberts, 24, have signed new deals at Welford Road.
The contract extensions for the Tigers trio sees them remain with the Premiership side beyond this season, but the length of all six deals have not been disclosed by the club.
Former Sharks and Stormers forward Cilliers is the third South African to join Leicester recently, with former Springboks captain Jean de Villiers making the move in December, while wing JP Pietersen arrives next season.
"At 29, he is coming into his prime as a prop and we look forward to seeing him getting down to work here in preparation for next season alongside guys like Marcos Ayerza, Dan Cole, Tom Youngs, Logovi'i Mulipola and Fraser Balmain," said Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill.
Cockerill is also pleased to add "dynamic" talent McGuigan to the front row, but the hooker's departure from Kingston Park was criticised by Falcons boss Dean Richards.
"Over the last few years we have invested a great deal into George's development and had high hopes for his future progression at the club and his development into an international player," said Richards.
"So it is disappointing to hear that he no longer wishes to be part of what we are building at Newcastle Falcons."
John Tostevin, 49, admitted 10 offences including forging vehicle documents and computer misuse and data protection crimes at Guernsey Magistrate's Court.
The former traffic sergeant was given 150 hours of community service.
His defence argued the trauma caused by dealing with incidents and fatalities should be taken into account.
Judge Phil Robey said Tostevin's ill health was the only reason he avoided a prison sentence.
In summing up he said: "An offence of dishonesty by a police officer should attract an immediate custodial sentence, except for exceptional circumstances.
"Apart from that he would not have escaped prison. The impact of the offences on public confidence is serious."
The court heard how Tostevin had faked official documents in order to obtain car number plates, which are owned by the States but the right to use them can be sold and accessed personal information without permission.
He was sentenced to complete 150 hours of community service for each of the offences, but told they would run concurrently.
Tostevin was also ordered to pay £200 to the owner of the car he had taken, having told her it would be used for emergency service training but registered in his own name.
Ahead of the sentencing he resigned from a 30-year career in the island's force, during which he headed up the police traffic section for many years leading road safety campaigns and investigating road traffic collisions.
Defence Advocate Andrew Ayres read out glowing references from two former police chiefs and told the court Tostevin had received numerous commendations for his police work and was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when the offences occurred last year.
He told the court Tostevin was "always at the coal face", and had witnessed many traumatic incidents and fatalities and had suffered a death in the family leading to PTSD and him acting as recklessly as he did.
Each image has been given a unique "hash" number, which makes it traceable without being viewed.
It means the charity's partners, which include Facebook, Google and Twitter, will be able to remove images faster.
The Child Abuse Image Database (Caid), was launched by the prime minister in December 2014.
The images on Caid, collated by the Home Office, include those found on computers seized by police that may not have been uploaded online.
"Some of those images will have never yet been in circulation on the internet because perhaps the offender has taken them him/herself or someone has shared them peer-to-peer," IWF spokeswoman Emma Hardy told the BBC.
"For the victim - if they are aware images were taken but haven't made it onto the net, if their image is on this list we can now prevent it being uploaded in the first place."
The Caid list is part of a greater database being created by the IWF. It will also include images reported by the public and found by the charity's own analysts.
It is a list of hash numbers, not the images themselves, and will be made available to all of the charity's members.
The hash is a number generated algorithmically and, once assigned to an image based on its original source name, cannot be changed.
Hash lists were initially created as a tool for searching databases in the 1950s when computers worked very slowly, said internet security expert Professor Alan Woodward from Surrey University.
Hashing is also used to store passwords.
The hashing process involves using an algorithm to convert a plaintext password into an unrecognisable string of characters. Utilising the tool means a service does not need to keep a record of the password in its original form.
"The way [searches for illegal images] are done by law enforcement, you have people sitting there looking at 2,000 images a day, sometimes 2,000 an hour. People can only do this for so long because it's so disturbing," Prof Woodward said.
"This way, if the hash is on the prohibited list you know it's what you want but you don't actually see it."
Web giants Google and Microsoft have been using hash lists for some time in the fight against online illegal images.
Last month Microsoft released a free tool that lets website owners spot when images of child abuse are being shared by users.
PhotoDNA creates a unique signature for each image, similar to a fingerprint, to help match pictures. This is done by converting the picture into black-and-white, resizing it and breaking it into a grid.
Each grid cell is then analysed to create a histogram describing how the colours change in intensity within it, and the information obtained becomes its "DNA".
The technique means that if a copy of a flagged photo appears in one of Microsoft's user accounts, the firm can be alerted to the fact without its staff having to look at the picture involved.
Because the amount of data involved in the "DNA" is small, Microsoft can process and compare images relatively quickly.
"The danger is that 90% of the web is not indexed by [the tech giants]," said Prof Woodward.
"Most people think of the web as what Google or Bing tell them it is - but most of it is not searched by Google. The so-called 'deep web' is not indexed or searchable, and the 'dark web' is hidden."
He added that while a hash number assigned to an image cannot be removed, modifying the image can alter the algorithm which created it.
"There is an arms race with this," he said.
"Criminals are very clever. They will work out how to get round being on the list by modifying the image - depending on the algorithm they are using it could radically change the hash."
Put together by the Campaign for Better Transport (CBT), it's measured all the people going into and out of 2,500 British stations since 1997-98.
Check out how your station is doing.
Twenty years ago, around the time the network was privatised, 1.45 billion clocked in and out. Last year, that figure had nearly doubled, to 2.75 billion.
The CBT also says:
The map also shows that growth has been uneven across Britain. London and the South East are booming. So are Leeds and Birmingham. But growth in Humberside's been thinner.
Fun train facts
Apropos of nothing other than giving you some good pub facts, here are some cracking things I read in Rail Magazine recently, based on a book called 'The Railways: Nation, Network and People' by Simon Bradley.
Did you know that:
"Investment has tended to focus on relieving overcrowding in south east England, while leaving other parts of the country in a time warp," says the CBT's Andrew Allen.
"Our mapping shows areas which are strong candidates for growth and where targeted investment in better services and even new stations could make a real difference. The government needs to be braver, both in anticipating the potential for growth and in getting more places onto the network."
This rapid expansion has left parts of the system unable to cope.
Punctuality has been poor in recent years. We've got a Victorian network, ravaged by decades of underinvestment, which is only now being put right and is, understandably, struggling to squeeze in record numbers of people.
No-one really saw this massive growth in numbers coming.
When the conservatives privatised the system twenty years ago, just about everyone assumed they were managing the decline of train travel.
And the rot set in a long time before that.
More than 3,000 miles of track disappeared in the 1950s and the government still wanted to axe a lot more. The following decade, ministers asked a grey civil servant from the Isle of Sheppey, Dr Beeching, to come up with a blueprint for the future.
He recommended axing another third of the network - 5,000 miles of track, including hundreds of branch lines and 2,363 stations. It was assumed we'd all use cars instead.
But when I met him recently, the new chairman of Network Rail, Sir Peter Hendy was evangelical about the future. Money's going in. People are back. Services are better (mostly).
So it turns out that reports about the death of the train were greatly exaggerated.
Sussex Police said the 59-year-old man, from Sompting, was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.
The crash was at about 06:00 GMT on the eastbound carriageway in Lancing, between the Lancing Manor roundabout and the A283 Steyning interchange.
The driver of the car, a BMW, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving. The 58-year-old Climping man suffered minor injuries.
The road was closed following the collision, but reopened at about 11.00 GMT.

Declining advertising revenues and circulations for print publications meant profits fell to $23m (£15.2m; €20.6m) for the quarter ended 31 March.
Revenues also slipped 1% to $2.06bn.
Chief executive Robert Thomson highlighted a strong performance in its property listing business, Realtor.com.
"The new News Corp continues to build a firm foundation for digital growth," said Mr Thomson.
"We see that most clearly in the successful integration of realtor.com, which grew audience and revenue at record levels in the third quarter.
"News Corp is now a global leader in digital real estate."
Revenues for the online property division rose 67% to $170m for the quarter, after results from its Move subsidiary were included.
Newspapers, on the other hand, continued to struggle, with revenue in News Corp's news and information division falling 9% overall, as ad revenue declined 12%, and circulation and subscription revenue fell 6%.
But revenue in News Corp's book publishing division, which includes HarperCollins, rose 14% to $402m over the quarter.
The company said the continued popularity of the late Chris Kyle's autobiography, American Sniper, had helped boost results. The book was turned into a Hollywood film starring Bradley Cooper.
The group revenue results were below analyst expectations - a fact the company blamed partially on currency fluctuations.
The 34-year-old is set to qualify as a non-overseas player through his Irish ancestry, subject to approval from the England and Wales Cricket Board.
All-rounder Franklin has played 31 Tests for New Zealand, as well as appearing in 110 one-day internationals and 38 Twenty20 internationals.
His deal at Lord's has the option of being extended into a third year.
Left-armer Franklin, who has previously had spells with Gloucestershire, Glamorgan, Essex and Nottinghamshire, will continue to play for Wellington until the end of the 2014-15 New Zealand domestic season in April.
Franklin, who last played Test cricket in January 2013, is on the reserve list for New Zealand's World Cup squad.
"I've had a hugely enjoyable and memorable career in New Zealand," he said.
"It's been an absolute privilege to play for Wellington for over 15 years.
"Although this decision closes the chapter on playing for New Zealand again I know I've been incredibly fortunate to have spent over a decade playing international cricket.
"I'm really looking forward to being in a dressing room full of talented cricketers who will be wanting to help Middlesex win silverware and be a dominant force in county cricket."
Middlesex managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said Franklin would provide "quality, consistency and nous" to their squad.
"James has a lot to offer and continues to perform to a high level wherever he plays," he said.
"Despite James not having bowled with great frequency over the winter, due to a side strain, we are confident that come April his fitness levels will enable him to offer both experience and variety as a left arm-seamer."
Thorne, who was with the Silkmen on non-contract terms in the 2014-15 season but did not feature, has been playing for Forest's development squad.
The 21-year-old made his Forest debut in this season's EFL Cup win at Millwall in August.
He is eligible for Macclesfield's FA Trophy fourth round tie against Dulwich Hamlet on Saturday.
The 2014 script, proposed by medical students for a concert at the University of Liverpool, mocked the anti-rape slogan "no means no".
The university and its student guild investigated following complaints.
They said Liverpool Medical Students' Society (LMSS) could no longer use university or guild services.
The script, which also included characters James Bondage and Mrs Sluttypenny, caused outrage on social media after it was pitched by a group of fourth-year medical students for the annual concert, known as Smoker.
Among the comments, one student tweeted: "What have I just read? Gross below the line comments, rape jokes and general idiocy."
In an email, the university and guild said they would not allow their "good names to be jeopardised by the activities of a society which has failed to keep pace with the views and expectations of the modern world".
A spokesperson said LMSS was invited to "draw up an action plan" with the guild "to address some recommendations".
In a separate email, the university and guild said: "Unfortunately, a full and completed action plan has not been forthcoming and the LMSS officers refused to engage with the chair of the investigation panel."
The society has now been "de-ratified", which means it will not be able to use university or guild services from 1 February.
The LMSS, which has yet to respond to the BBC, says on its website it is one of the oldest and largest societies for medical students in the UK.
The university said the guild and staff at the medical school would help support the establishment of a new society for medical students.
The 22-year-old, who can play as a winger or full-back and has joined Batley Bulldogs from Doncaster for the 2016 season, is the 12th winner of the Dave Valentine Award.
It is based on performances in Scotland's 2015 international campaign.
Scotland head coach Steve McCormack said: "Davie was outstanding for us."
Scott started playing rugby league at Easterhouse Panthers and joined Featherstone Rovers in 2013.
He was loaned to Doncaster, made the switch permanent in 2014 and will play in the second-tier English Championship for Batley in the coming season.
Scott made 28 appearances for Doncaster, scoring two tries and 36 conversions.
He played for Scotland in the 2013 World Cup and their recent European Cup campaigns.
"He is the perfect example to all the kids coming through, showing there is a pathway for teenage players in Scotland," added McCormack.
Spokesman John Kirby maintained the payment was negotiated separately from the release, but said it was withheld until the Americans had left Iran.
Five Americans held in Iran were released in January in exchange for seven detained Iranians.
The US airlifted $400m (£300.8m) worth of cash to Iran on the same day.
The exchange came as the US lifted international sanctions against Iran as part of the country's historic nuclear deal.
The timing of both incidents has prompted an outcry from Republicans, who accused the Obama administration of quid pro quo.
The White House, however, has pushed back on claims that the US paid a ransom for the release of the prisoners, saying the money was part of a longstanding financial dispute with Iran from before the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
"We were able to conclude multiple strands of diplomacy within a 24-hour period," Mr Kirby told reporters. "We deliberately leveraged that moment."
Mr Kirby's comments come after the Wall Street Journal reported that the release of the cash depended on the departure in Iran of the prisoners' plane.
The newspaper reported that US officials allegedly would not let a plane containing the cash in Geneva leave for Iran until a Swiss Air Force plane with the three of the US citizens on board left Tehran.
Mr Kirby reaffirmed the White House claim that the payment was part of $1.7bn (£1.2bn) owed to Iran in a military equipment deal made with the US-backed Shah in the 1970s.
The equipment was never delivered before the Shah was overthrown in 1979.
President Barack Obama had agreed to return the $400m (£300.8m) with $1.3bn ((£987m) in interest.
Mr Kirby added the US had "concerns" that Iran may recant on its pledge to return the prisoners, which is why it waited to release the payment.
"It would have been foolish, imprudent and irresponsible for us not to try and maintain maximum leverage," he said, according to ABC News.
"So if you're asking me was there a connection in that regard in the end game? I'm not going to deny that."
Illinois Senator Mark Kirk, chairman of the Senate Banking national security subcommittee, is demanding congressional hearings on the isse.
This, he said, was "the only way for the American people to fully known whether their tax dollars went directly to Iran's terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps".
Republican party chairman Reince Priebus also released a statement to ABC News on the latest revelation.
"It's time for the Obama White House to drop the charade and admit it paid a $400 million ransom to the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism," Mr Priebus said.
MP Sher Wali Wardak was injured in the blast outside his house and died on the way to hospital, officials said.
No group has so far admitted carrying out the attack.
Separately, at least seven people were killed and more than 20 injured when Taliban gunmen - reportedly in police uniform - stormed a court in in Puli Alam, capital of Logar province.
The militant group said the attack was in response to the government's execution of six Taliban prisoners last month.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has pledged a tougher response to the Taliban after an attack in Kabul in April left 64 people dead.
Peace efforts stalled this year after the Taliban refused to participate in new talks with the Afghan government until foreign forces had left the country.
The militants have been waging an insurgency against the Afghan government since being ousted in 2001.
Nato ended its combat mission in Afghanistan in December 2014, leaving a 13,000-strong residual force used for training and counter-terrorism operations, including 9,800 US troops.

Colin Beckett, the party's candidate in Gower, also denied suggestions UKIP was losing support in the opinion polls.
He said: "I think we will get a pretty good share - if we get five seats in Wales that would be fantastic."
Mr Beckett told BBC Wales that such a result "would put is in good shape next year for the Welsh assembly (election in 2016)".
Asked if the party was holding on to its support since the election campaign began, he said: "People in the streets, people in the pubs, 95% of them would say yes. The media say the opposite, I don't know why."
The other candidates declared as standing in Gower are Byron Davies (Conservative), Liz Evans (Labour), Mike Sheehan (Liberal Democrat) and Darren Thomas (Plaid Cymru). | A summit has been held in Dumfries to examine the key transport issues facing the south west of Scotland.

The Ireland wing was out of action for a month after undergoing surgery on a hand injury sustained against Treviso.
Wiehahn Herbst has come through the return to play protocols but lock Pete Browne is out for three to four weeks.
Meanwhile back-row forward Marcell Coetzee is expected to be fit for the start of next season as his knee injury is not as bad as first feared.
Ruan Pienaar has been given a clean bill of health while Louis Ludik and Stuart McCloskey came through Ulster A's game against Leinster A last weekend unscathed.
Browne is ruled out with a shoulder complaint, while prop Kyle McCall will be absent for another four to five weeks.

Ulster emerged 35-22 victors the last time they took on the Blues at the Arms Park in early December and have now put together a run of six successive wins.
The Irish province occupy fourth place in the Pro12 table with four sets of fixtures remaining, a position they will hope to retain to secure a place in the end-of-season semi-final play-offs.
Following their penultimate home game of the season on Friday, Ulster face testing encounters with the top three sides in the standings, away to Munster and Ospreys, then home to Leinster.
A file containing more than 90,000 e-mail addresses plus passwords, logins and other information was put on The Pirate Bay file-sharing site.
The group said it stole the information by targeting a poorly protected server on the defence firm's network.
Booz Allen Hamilton declined to comment on the incident.
In text accompanying the download package, Anonymous said it was "surprised" at how easy it was to infiltrate the server given the consulting firm's record of working on defence and homeland security.
The attack was carried out under the banner of the "Anti Sec" campaign that was originated by the short-lived LulzSec hacking group.
That hacker collective "disbanded" in late June following a spree of hack attacks on high profile targets. Many of its members are thought to have joined up with Anonymous.
As well as grabbing e-mails, passwords and a copy of a database, Anonymous said it had also got hold of lots of other material that it planned to use to attack other government agencies and federal contractors.
Booz Allen told Reuters it had no comment to make about the alleged attack, adding that company policy meant it could not discuss "specific threats or actions taken against our systems".
Commenting on the attack, Chester Wisniewski from security firm Sophos, said the attack's significance may lie in what happens to the addresses now they have been stolen.
"...there clearly is demand for information about individuals related to the US defence that can be used to compromise their accounts and computers," he wrote.
The Anonymous hacking group came to prominence thanks to the actions it took in defence of the Wikileaks whistle-blowing website. Among other things, Anonymous helped to co-ordinate attacks on companies, including Mastercard and Amazon, which it felt did not do enough to help Wikileaks.
The latest attack follows recent raids by police forces in Spain, Turkey and Italy that resulted in the arrest of suspected members of Anonymous.
The Saint Christophe 1 took refuge in Dart Harbour in March but began to sink hours later.
A Marine Accident Investigation Branch report said harbour staff were unable to tell the vessel's skipper the boat would ground as the tide went out.
Dart Harbour said it accepted the report's findings and is acting on its recommendations.
More on the trawler investigation, plus more Devon and Cornwall news
The report said most of the boat's watertight doors were open and the vessel was not carrying any of the local harbour charts.
When the Saint Christophe 1 and another boat, the Sagitaire, arrived into port, one of the river officers attempted to explain the berth using hand gestures.
But the communication was not understood, the report said.
Neither the harbourmaster nor his deputy knew there was a list of people who could act as translators if needed, the report said.
Ten fishermen were rescued when the boats were listing and aground as the tide went out in the early hours of 10 March. No-one was injured.
As the tide came back in, the Saint Christophe 1 began to flood through open doors and portholes.
A number of changes have been made by Dart Harbour and Navigation Authority:
The skippers "displayed a very relaxed attitude" to the safety of their vessels in port and had not attempted to check the tide information, which was available in French.
The report said: "Most of the watertight doors and hatches were either lashed open, or were impossible to close and make watertight, having been disabled at some time in the past. Portholes on the starboard side were also open to allow for ventilation."
Had these been secured its possible the vessel would not have been lost, the report says.
Dart Harbour and Navigation Authority (DHNA) staff's response helped to rescue the crew and quickly deploy pollution prevention equipment.
Board chairman of DHNA, Neil Hockaday said: "DHNA accepts the critical comments made in the report and is responding with remedial action to address the concerns expressed."
Spain's two-time Formula 1 champion spent Tuesday's test learning about his car's behaviour in traffic on the 220mph+ superspeedway.
"We keep experimenting on set-up and on running in traffic," Alonso said.
"We didn't put everything together - it's not time to. But I think we will arrive OK to qualifying and the race."
The 35-year-old McLaren driver, who is missing the Monaco Grand Prix to compete at Indy on 28 May, completed 117 laps on Tuesday and was 24th fastest out of 33 runners with an average speed of 221.029mph.
The fastest time was set by Penske driver Will Power in 224.656mph, with the benefit of a slipstream - or 'tow' - behind another car.
Speaking at a news conference before the third practice day on Wednesday, Alonso said: "I'm happy where I am now, but definitely not comfortable.
"So yesterday, especially thanks to the traffic running, I think I was much more comfortable, happier with the position we are now. (But there's) still a lot to come.
"I listen to these guys every day of what they feel, what they test, and I try to replicate the following day, try to have the same feelings of what they have."
Alonso said he was "starting" to understand the effect of set-up changes and added: "I'm not ready yet, but I think I will be for qualifying and the race."

Preparing the car so it runs competitively in the company of other cars is crucial to success at Indy.
Alonso said that running in traffic "felt as I expected" after his Andretti Autosport team used its five other drivers to help him develop a feel for the experience.
"Obviously, here it is very important to keep close to the car in front of you to take the benefit on the next straight, so it was useful," he said.
"I'm on the best team for that. We are six cars and we were running together. My team-mates were amazing helping me. I knew they were taking care of me in some moments of the run, so that was good.
"It's the first time for me, learning here and there every lap when I follow them, what they do, how they attack the next corner or the next lap, how they prepare the overtaking."
Alonso has three more days of practice this week before qualifying at the weekend.
Saturday is used primarily to determine a 'fast nine' drivers who then compete on Sunday for pole and the other eight leading grid positions.
The remaining 24 drivers also qualify on Sunday, but are competing for the places from 10th to 33rd.

McManus has had mental health problems since childhood but a chance encounter with rock climbing has revolutionised his approach to the illness.
Jake tells us his story...
'You couldn't say that climbing has changed my life - it's done more than that'
Back in 2012 I was in a heavily-medicated state to treat my severe psychotic depression. I had to have a nurse coming to check me every day otherwise I would have been admitted to hospital.
While lying on the sofa one day I caught some of a TV interview with professional climber Alex Honnold. He was talking about fear and anxiety and I thought 'I understand that'.
That brief interview led me to watching his film Alone on the Wall and there and then I decided to come off medication and learn to climb.
If only it was that simple. Initially simply leaving the house wasn't easy. Through a wish to learn how to climb I managed to start working again and put a little money aside. I spent around six months parking outside climbing gyms and being too scared to go in to book a beginners' course. I was worried about a lack of fitness, my age, social anxiety and learning how do something new.
I suppose my biggest fear was simply fitting in with all these athletic, super human-type people I'd been watching in videos. This was a huge mistake because in reality climbers come in all shapes, ages and sizes and most people who can walk up a flight of stairs can climb a route or even a mountain.
There are climbers who are blind or with limbs missing - my mate GB paraclimber John Churcher has 3% tunnel vision and is deaf - he still climbs harder than me.
All my previous insecurities are still there but now I know there are thousands of others who have the same emotions, maybe for different reasons, but the outcome is the same in many ways.
Three days after finally going for it and climbing for the first time I had climbed a 150m ridge in Spain. I decided that I'd found something I knew was changing my life and that other people needed to know. A month later I started a blog called Climb Out - the first time I had ever told anyone apart from my wife and my doctors about my lifelong mental health problems.
Two years later Climb Out is thriving and I spend up to 40 hours a week maintaining the site and answering emails from all over the UK, and the world.
I think people use me as a bit of a metaphor - if that fat, old geezer can get to the top of stuff then maybe I can get out and do something.
I have had emails from people who have mental health problems saying that they have read the website and it has led them to getting out and taking the dog for a walk for the first time in two years.
People don't literally have to climb out - it is about encouraging people to do something to get out because being active can have a really positive impact on mental health.
My wife also climbs and has got a community of friends through climbing. She's lost three stone, goes to the gym a lot and is a lot more active. The youngest of my two sons also climbs with us.
It is an all-consuming sport that really helps with mental health problems. When you are climbing you are using all points of your body - you instantly focus on the task in hand because falling is a pretty real fear for most people.
Climbing isn't a cure. In October 2013 I was severely delusional and in a bad way. The doctor recommended hospital but I chose to go off and climb in Spain instead. Climbing has given me that outlet that I didn't have before.
Hearing other people's stories through Climb Out and answering emails is a very therapeutic thing for me. I am looking at expanding it so that it is a nationwide community for people to be open about their mental health and be mentored by each other.
Without climbing I think I would still be heavily medicated - there was no way out for me at that time. Financially we were getting in serious trouble because I was self-employed and not able to work.
Three years later I am off medication. Myself and my family have loads of friends through the sport and a growing online community encouraging people with mental health issues to Climb Out.
I am hoping to climb on the Matterhorn in Austria this year. Next year I'll be the overweight geezer in a group climbing some ridges in Patagonia that have never been climbed before. A far cry from my sofa in Wigan."

Ilhan Omar, 34, who wears the hijab, was elected to serve in Minnesota's state house of representatives.
The Muslim Somali-American woman becomes the highest-ranking Somali elected to office in the US.
Her election comes just days after US President-elect Donald Trump accused Somali immigrants in Minnesota of "spreading their extremist views".
Minnesota has the nation's largest Somali community - about 50,000 according to the US census.
Celebrating her victory, Ms Omar said she would be the "voice for the marginalised" in the state parliament.
"I think I bring the voice of young people. I think I bring the voice of women in the East African community. I bring the voice of Muslims. I bring the voice of young mothers looking for opportunities," Minnesota Public Radio quoted her as saying.
Ms Omar escaped from Somalia with her family at the start of the civil war when she was eight years old.
They lived in a Kenyan refugee camp for four years, before moving to the US and settling in a Somali-American neighbourhood in Minnesota.
Standing for the DFL coalition, which is affiliated to the Democratic Party, Ms Omar won a seat to represent District 60B in the state legislature.
She faced nominal opposition after her Republican opponent who had withdrawn from the race for family reasons.
During a primary in August she unseated one of the longest-serving members of the Minnesota legislature.
Minneapolis's Star Tribune newspaper described her as a "Muslim-American woman who proudly wears the hijab", saying she had been "suddenly thrust into leadership of a rapidly emerging DFL coalition that is younger, more urban and more racially and ethnically diverse than at any time in its history".
A hundred years ago two German chemists, Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, devised a way to transform nitrogen in the air into fertiliser, using what became known as the Haber-Bosch process.
But Haber's place in history is controversial.
He is also considered the "father of chemical warfare" for his years of work developing and weaponising chlorine and other poisonous gases during World War One.
Plants need nitrogen: it is one of their five basic requirements, along with potassium, phosphorus, water and sunlight.
In a natural state, plants grow, they die, the nitrogen they contain returns to the soil, and new plants use it to grow.
Agriculture disrupts that cycle: we harvest the plants, and eat them.
From the earliest days of agriculture, farmers discovered various ways to prevent crop yields from declining over time: by restoring nitrogen to their fields.
Manure has nitrogen. So does compost.
The roots of legumes host bacteria that replenish nitrogen levels.
That is why it helps to include peas or beans in crop rotation.
But these techniques struggle to fully satisfy a plant's appetite for nitrogen.
Add more, and the plant grows better.
That is exactly what Fritz Haber worked out how to do, driven in part by the promise of a lucrative contract from the chemical company BASF.
That company's engineer, Carl Bosch, then managed to replicate Haber's process on an industrial scale.
Both men later won Nobel Prizes - controversially, in Haber's case, as many by then considered him a war criminal.
50 Things That Made the Modern Economy highlights the inventions, ideas and innovations which have helped create the economic world we live in.

The Haber-Bosch process is perhaps the most significant example of what economists call "technological substitution", where we seem to have reached some basic physical limit, then find a workaround.
For most of human history, if you wanted more food to support more people, then you needed more land.
But the thing about land, as Mark Twain once joked, is that they are not making it any more.
Haber and Bosch provided a substitute: instead of more land, make nitrogen fertiliser.
It was like alchemy.
"Brot aus Luft", as Germans put it, or "Bread from air".
From air and quite a lot of fossil fuels.
First of all, you need natural gas as a source of hydrogen, the element to which nitrogen binds to form ammonia.
Then you need energy to generate extreme heat and pressure.
Haber discovered that was necessary as a catalyst to break the bonds between air's nitrogen atoms and persuade them to bond with hydrogen instead.
Imagine the heat of a wood-fired pizza oven, with the pressure you would experience 2km under the sea.
To create those conditions on a scale sufficient to produce 160 million tonnes of ammonia a year - the majority of which is used for fertiliser - the Haber-Bosch process today consumes more than 1% of all the world's energy.
That is a lot of carbon emissions.
And there is another very serious ecological concern.
Only some of the nitrogen in fertiliser makes its way via crops into human stomachs, perhaps as little as 15%.
Most of it ends up in the air or water.
This is a problem for several reasons.
Compounds like nitrous oxide are powerful greenhouse gases.
They pollute drinking water.
They also create acid rain, which makes soils more acidic, disrupting ecosystems, and threatening biodiversity.
When nitrogen compounds run off into rivers, they likewise promote the growth of some organisms more than others.
The results include ocean "dead zones", where blooms of algae near the surface block out sunlight and kill the fish below.
The Haber-Bosch process is not the only cause of these problems, but it is a major one, and it is not going away.
Demand for fertiliser is projected to double in the coming century.
In truth, scientists still do not fully understand the long-term impact on the environment of converting so much stable, inert nitrogen from the air into various other, highly reactive chemical compounds.
We are in the middle of a global experiment.
One result is already clear: plenty of food for lots more people.
If you look at a graph of global population, you will see it shoot upwards just as Haber-Bosch fertilisers start being widely applied.
Again, Haber-Bosch was not the only reason for the spike in food yields.
New varieties of crops like wheat and rice also played their part.
Still, if we farmed with the best techniques available in Fritz Haber's time, the earth would support about four billion people.
Our current population is around seven and a half billion, and growing.
Back in 1909, as Haber triumphantly demonstrated his ammonia process, he could hardly have imagined how transformative his work would be.
On one side of the ledger, food to feed billions more human souls; on the other, a sustainability crisis that will need more genius to solve.
For Haber himself, the consequences of his work were not what he expected.
As a young man, he converted from Judaism to Christianity, aching to be accepted as a German patriot.
Beyond his work on weaponising chlorine, the Haber-Bosch process also helped Germany in World War One.
Ammonia can make explosives, as well as fertiliser.
Not just bread from air, but bombs too.
When the Nazis took power in the 1930s, however, none of this outweighed his Jewish roots.
Stripped of his job and kicked out of the country, Haber died, in a Swiss hotel, a broken man.

They are trying to prevent the country's only coal mine from being shut down, leaving them without jobs.
The miners occupied the Carbosulcis mine on Monday and are now holed up some 400m underground.
They plan to stay there until meeting with the government to discuss the mine's future is held.
"I think anyone would protest like us, anyone who is losing their job is prepared to do anything," one miner told reporters.
"It's really serious, everything is closing in this country - it feels like the end of the world."
According to reports, the miners want the pit to be diversified into a combined mining and carbon capture site.
State funding is potentially available for carbon capture - a process of storing polluting emissions underground to help prevent global warming.
The miners have mounted similar protests during labour disputes in the past. In 1995 they occupied the pit for 100 days.
The Sun reported that about 3,000 photographs were stolen and that it was offered images by someone asking for £50,000 within 48 hours.

Police said the man had been arrested on suspicion of a Computer Misuse Act offence and had been taken into custody at a south London police station.

The PM called the European Commission president-designate and the pair discussed working together to "make the EU more competitive and more flexible".
"The PM welcomed Mr Juncker's commitment of finding a fair deal for Britain," the No 10 spokesman said.
It comes after Mr Cameron was defeated in an EU vote over the new president.
Mr Cameron tried to block Mr Juncker's appointment by forcing a vote on the selection of the former Luxembourg prime minister, who is seen as a backer of closer political union.
But EU states voted 26-2 to appoint him, in what Mr Cameron described as "a bad day for Europe".
The prime minister has this idea of reforming the UK's relationship with the EU - he wants to put a reformed relationship to a referendum in 2017, if he's still prime minister then. And one of the most important people he has to deal with in securing that is Jean-Claude Juncker (pictured).
It's clearly widely publicly known that he didn't want this man in the job - but he lost that argument so now he has to build a relationship with someone from - let's put it gently - not the best starting point, and that starts with this kind of conversation.
I suppose Downing Street would emphasise that in democracy sometimes you don't win but that means that you have to congratulate those that have - and you have to work with them.
They will also point to the fact that any prime minister will always have conversations with, and relationships with, political leaders with whom they don't share a huge amount with in the first instance.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "The prime minister called the Commission President-designate, Jean-Claude Juncker, this afternoon.
"The prime minister congratulated Mr Juncker on running a successful campaign and securing the council nomination. They discussed how they would work together to make the EU more competitive and more flexible.
"The PM welcomed Mr Juncker's commitment of finding a fair deal for Britain and Mr Juncker said that he was fully committed to finding solutions for the political concerns of the UK."
The phone call comes after Mr Cameron was criticised by other UK political leaders over the defeat.
Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls said Mr Cameron's failed bid to block Mr Juncker's appointment was a "catastrophe for Britain and the British national interest", adding: "I've never seen a negotiation so cack-handed."
"We won't be influential in the world, unless we are influential in Europe," he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show.
His comments came after Confederation of British Industry (CBI) director general John Cridland warned the success of the UK economy depended on it staying in the EU.
But Foreign Secretary William Hague insisted it was "far too early" to say if the government would fail in its bid to renegotiate Britain's agreement with Brussels.
Meanwhile Germany's finance minister has told the Financial Times a British exit from the EU is "unimaginable" and "absolutely not acceptable".
Wolfgang Schauble said his country would do everything in its power to keep Britain in the union
"Clearly, we have in many economic questions and regulatory questions a broad consensus," he said.

Separately a case against Hillary Clinton brought by the parents of two Americans killed in the Benghazi attack has been dismissed by a US judge.
The Benghazi diplomatic compound attack killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, while Mrs Clinton was secretary of state. The issue dogged her presidential campaign last year.
Patricia Smith and Charles Woods, parents of two of those killed, filed a lawsuit against Mrs Clinton for wrongful death and defamation.
The suit claimed the former secretary of state's use of a private email server contributed to their sons' deaths.
The parents also accused her of defaming them in statements to the media.
But federal judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that the complainants had not proved that Mrs Clinton was not acting in her official capacity by using the private server. She also judged that they did not have enough evidence to substantiate their defamation claim.
The al-Qaeda linked Ansar al-Sharia group emerged in Benghazi - Libya's second largest city - in the upheavals following the death of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi n 2011. At one point in 2014 they took control of the city.
But the group suffered heavy casualties while fending off continued offences launched by Libyan National Army strongman Khalifa Haftar - who earlier this month repeated his efforts to drive jihadist fighters out of their two remaining strongholds in Benghazi.
The online announcement of Ansar's formal disbandment called on Islamists to form a united front in Benghazi.
Libya now has two rival parliaments and three governments. The bulk of the fighting is between the Libyan National Army and forces aligned with the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli.
The guild was set up after World war Two to take cinema to remote locations, giving many people their first experience of seeing the world depicted on the screen.
Their visits were loved by many, but at times they generated controversy.
After securing funding to record the history of the service, the academics will try to recreate the atmosphere of a 1940s show with a screening at this week's Inverness Film Festival.
During World War Two, the Ministry of Information started sending film projectionists teams around the Highlands and Islands to show newsreels in village halls and other locations.
Although this was for propaganda purposes they proved popular. When the conflict was over the Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society suggested setting up a similar scheme to show a wider range of programmes, including entertainment films and cartoons, in the hope that this cultural offering would help stem depopulation.
Screenings of 16mm films were held in village halls, schools and even army huts.
There was often no electricity supply and the projectionists had to cope with various technical challenges as well as the difficulties of travelling to remote locations with all their equipment.
The service was publicly funded showing films that were both educational and entertaining, but the service folded due to financial difficulties in 1971.
Dr Ian Goode, a lecturer in film and television studies at the University of Glasgow, is leading the team of academics who are working on the three-year research project.
"These heroic individuals went around not just in the summer but in the winter as well to take their film shows to communities," he said.
"There are tales of films being lost overboard on journeys to locations like North Ronaldsay in Orkney.
"There were all kinds of tales about agriculture intruding on the shows such as livestock chewing through power cables.
"The struggle to put on the film shows in whatever spaces were available and the journeys the operators undertook to take the cinema to these communities add to its appeal and the extent to which it is remembered fondly.
"The venues were not very warm and not very comfortable yet people still went along willingly because they knew they would enjoy the film show.
"They were prepared to sit in the cold on hard benches. It was along way from the picture palace of the city."
Dr Goode added: "We want to build an oral history of people's memories who can remember the Highlands and Islands Film Guild while they are still with us and secure their memories for the future.
"The lifespan of the guild running as it did from 1946 to 1971 gives us a chance to assess the first moment of the arrival of film as a medium in these areas and then to assess its decline as other leisure choices became available and the spectre of television appeared on the horizon."
A wide variety of films were shown which were often aimed at a family audience. There would be Laurel and Hardy classics as well as contemporary hits like James Bond films.
The guild also tried to show films they thought would particularly appeal to audiences in the Highlands and Islands. Whisky Galore was put on for this reason and was said to have generated record receipts.
For younger people it would have been their first experience of film and it would have been a real treat for children to go along.
However, the film guild and their projectionists were not always seen in a positive light.
Dr Goode said: "If possible we are also interested in trying to find out about the resistance to the appearance of film in communities.
"There is evidence to suggest that certain families were resistant to it and prevented their children from attending. We also understand that there was opposition from certain areas of the church.
"There is mention of a minister on Scalpay on Harris walking along the queue of people waiting to get into a film show trying to persuade them out of going in to watch the films.
"We want to build up as complete and comprehensive a picture of the response to the film guild as we can. The fondly remembered narratives but also the other side of the story as well."
On Friday from 18:00, a special film guild programme is being put on as part of the Inverness Film Festival at Eden Court, in Inverness, using 16mm projector and 16mm film.
The organisers hope to recreate as close as they can a Highlands and Islands Film Guild programme from the late 1940s.
Dr Goode said: "The room won't be cold and the seats will be more comfortable but we hope to evoke something and get people to come along a share their memories with us."
Up to 20,000 people are expected to attend the gig which is the first in the stadium since 1982.
Llandudno band and recent Brit Awards best breakthrough act, Catfish and the Bottlemen will support the Stereophonics.
Glyndwr University hopes it will be the first of many live shows at the stadium.
Lynda Powell, the university's director of operations, said it was a "major coup".
The last gig at the stadium, which is home of Wrexham FC, saw rock legends Motorhead perform along with Budgie, Tank, Raven, Orion and Twisted Sister.
A proposal to stop the use of the substances in public places under a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) is expected to be approved on Monday evening.
The ban would be the first of its kind in the country.
But Jamie, who has sent a petition to the Prime Minister asking for a clamp down on legal highs in the UK, told Newsbeat more should be done.
He thinks the rules should go further and wants head shops, which sell legal highs, to be closed down.
"It's just the advertising it gets. You walk down the high street and there's 10-year-old kids walking down the street and there's a big pipe in a shop window. What message does that send out?"
The reason the government struggle to make legal highs illegal is because as soon as they ban one substance a few chemicals are changed and it is rebranded as a whole new product.
Lincoln's new rules are being suggested as a replacement of Designated Public Place Orders, which prevent alcohol consumption under certain circumstances.
"You wouldn't have noticed [legal high use in the city] five years ago," said Jamie.
"But more recently you can see people just staggering up and down the high street almost like zombies - absolutely off their face."
He took legal highs once but says they have had a much worse affect on some of his friends.
"A few people I did know have carried on doing it and I've watched them become homeless and they look nothing like they used to.
"They're just staggering up the high street, they sleep on the streets now, under bridges."
Sam Barstow, Lincoln's service manager for public protection and anti-social behaviour, said: "The main difference between the existing powers and this new proposal is that it gives us the ability to tackle on-street alcohol consumption and the use of so-called legal highs.
"The Designated Public Place Order required police to be satisfied consumption of the alcohol would lead to anti-social behaviour, which led to difficulties in enforcement.
"The new order would be a complete ban on consuming both alcohol and legal highs in the city centre."
Legal highs are substances which produce the same, or similar effects, to drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy, but are not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
In many cases, they are designed to mimic class A drugs, but are structurally different enough to avoid being classified as illegal substances, so it is legal to possess and use them.
The latest figures from the Centre for Social Justice (CJS) show the number of police incidents involving legal highs have increased in many parts of England since 2010.
The number of incidents soared across 16 police forces that responded to a freedom of information request by the think-tank.
Of those asked, Lincolnshire police recorded the highest rate of police incidents involving legal highs in 2014 with 820.
The second highest was South Yorkshire with 465 and West Yorkshire's 324 was third highest.
The CSJ has called for a robust response from the Government, including new police powers to close shops that persist in selling legal highs.
It also claims the number of deaths associated with the use of legal highs increased from 12 in 2009 to 97 in 2012 in England and that the UK has the highest number of legal highs users amongst young people in Europe.
"As well as posing worrying health risks, these figures suggest legal highs are placing an increasing burden on public services," said senior CSJ researcher Rupert Oldham-Reid.
"It is too easy for people to walk into high street shops and buy these drugs - many of them as dangerous as class A substances.
"If we want to start responding to the problems caused by 'legal highs' we need to clamp down on those making a living out of selling them."
The CSJ wants the Government to implement legislation similar to a scheme run in Ireland, where authorities slashed the number of 'head shops' from more than 100 to less than 10.

Mike Parker wrote in 2001 that parts of Wales were inhabited by "gun-toting Final Solution crackpots".
He said he would not use such phrases now, as he was "hopefully wiser" but there was nothing to apologise for.
Opponents have urged Plaid to replace Mr Parker as its Ceredigion candidate.
Following press reports about the article written for Planet magazine, Labour said he was "not fit" to represent Ceredigion.
Mr Parker told BBC Wales: "I don't regret it. I wouldn't use those phrases now, not because I'm standing for parliament but because I'm 15 years older, greyer and hopefully wiser.
"I was fired-up and passionate, against racism, for the wonderful, compassionate, tolerant community I had moved into in mid Wales.
"The two things seemed so out of kilter, I wanted to try and express it and yes I expressed it in quite strong terms but I have no regrets about that."
Asked if he felt the need to apologise, he said: "There is nothing to apologise for."
Earlier, Mr Parker defended his actions in a statement on Facebook.
He said he had been writing about a minority of people he had met who said they had moved to rural Wales from England to "escape multicultural communities in more urban areas".
A Plaid Cymru spokesman said: "He was reacting to some very negative and belittling comments he heard at that time as someone who had moved to Ceredigion from Kidderminster himself.
"Plaid Cymru has always worked against those divisive forces and we're very proud of our record in doing so."
Labour's candidate for Ceredigion, Huw Thomas, called on Plaid Cymru to replace Mr Parker, saying: "There should be no place in our politics or our society for such divisive and hateful language."
The area's Conservative candidate, Henrietta Hensher, said: "What he's actually done is tarnish a section of the population within Wales as a whole, suggesting that they are racist."
Welsh Liberal Democrat AM Peter Black called on Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood to "show some leadership" and demand a "full public apology" from Mr Parker.
"Either he withdraws these remarks or else she needs to explain whether he is representing Plaid Cymru policy," said Mr Black.
"His offensive views shouldn't just be swept under the carpet."
Meanwhile, UKIP's candidate for Ceredigion, Gethin James, said: "If a UKIP candidate had written an article in such a derogatory manner, even though it was some time ago, they would be asked to consider their position as a parliamentary candidate."
The candidates so far declared to be standing in Ceredigion are: Henrietta Hensher (Conservative), Jack Huggins (Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition), Gethin James (UKIP), Mike Parker (Plaid Cymru), Huw Thomas (Labour), Daniel Thompson (Green Party), and Mark Williams (Liberal Democrats).
The Hunter Foundation is investing £200,000 in Social Bite, which donates 100% of its profits to charity.
The cash, along with debt support from Social Investment Scotland, has allowed Social Bite to open a fourth Scottish store in Bothwell Street, Glasgow.
The others are in the city's St Vincent Street and at two places in Edinburgh.
More shops are planned for Aberdeen and Dundee.
Social Bite, a social enterprise which aims to compete with Pret a Manger, Greggs and Subway, has committed to employing at least one in four of its staff from homeless backgrounds.
The firm currently employs more than 30 people, 12 of whom have struggled with homelessness.
Social Bite was founded two years ago by couple Josh Littlejohn, 28, and Alice Thompson, 24.
They were inspired by a visit to Bangladesh, where they met Nobel Peace Prize winner and microcredit pioneer Prof Muhammad Yunus.
Mr Littlejohn said: "We hope to demonstrate a different model of business that is driven by the social objective rather than the objective of personal profit.
"Sir Tom has pioneered this new investment model, by investing for no personal financial return, but rather to create a sustainable social benefit.
"With the infrastructure of four shops and a central kitchen we should be in a position to sustainably donate around £2,000 to charity every month."
The new Glasgow branch will see newest recruit Brian land a job serving lunch and coffee in Glasgow.
Brian, who has had a history of alcohol addiction, has been homeless on four separate occasions and served several spells in prison.
Brian said: "With my past of homelessness and prison, almost no one would have given me a chance at a job.
"I have been getting trained by Social Bite for the last two months and I can't wait to get stuck into the challenge of working in the new Bothwell Street shop."
Sir Tom Hunter said: "Josh and Alice are an inspiration and are at the forefront of the social enterprise movement in Scotland.
"I believe government needs to take a long hard look at how businesses like Social Bite can be incentivised further."
Two drawings, dating back to 1945, were discovered in an old box file hidden under a desk in Glasgow. But they only came to light recently.
The second rail bridge would have been built downstream of the existing bridge and very close by.
Historians are investigating theories about why the designs were drawn up but are keen to know why they were dropped.
Network Rail has commissioned an artist's impression of what the fourth Forth Bridge would have looked like and where it would have been situated.
Vicky Stretch, Network Rail archivist, said: "We have a lot of drawings for the Forth Bridge but very much concentrating on the original construction of the bridge we see today.
"So this is a real mystery and why these drawings were created we just don't know."
Dr Miles Oglethorpe, of Historic Environment Scotland, speculated that the plans were to replace a bridge damaged in war or to cope with increased demand for trains.
He said: "It's possible it was in anticipation of potential damage through enemy action.
"Although they date from 1945, that was the time the V bombs were landing in London and there was a possibility that they were thinking it might be replaced.
"But my theory is simply that they were anticipating more rail travel.
"The existing bridge was being very heavily used and they were thinking ahead."
The Forth Bridge is a world heritage site.
Anyone with information should contact Network Rail.
Arnold Sube reportedly told the MK Citizen a five-bedroom property in Luton was not suitable due to small rooms and a "lack of storage space".
He told the BBC he had not refused the house, but was waiting for the council's response to some questions.
The authority said if he did not accept a formal housing offer the family would have to look in the private sector.
Mr Sube and his wife, who now have eight children, moved to Luton from France so he could study nursing at the University of Bedfordshire.
They were placed in temporary accommodation with three bedrooms by Luton Borough Council in Bletchley, Milton Keynes.
The authority said the family was asked to view three houses in Luton, all with four or five bedrooms, and after viewing one said they were all unsuitable.
It said Mr Sube would now be formally offered another four-bedroom house, which could be made into five, and if they turned that down the council would no longer be able to help them.
Councillor Tom Shaw, in charge of the housing portfolio, said: "What the law says is once a council's made an adequate offer, then if it's turned down, the council's got the right to say that you are intentionally homeless, please go and look after yourself in the private sector."
Mr Sube said he "hadn't refused the property", but was waiting to hear back from the council about its "suitability and affordability".
He said: "I want four double bedrooms, not even five, I'm not greedy at all, we just want something that can accommodate the family.
"I work, I do two jobs, I'm paying taxes, I'm contributing to the system."
Mrs Clinton outlined her key policies in a speech to thousands of supporters on New York City's Roosevelt Island.
She pledged to support working families, saying: "America can't succeed unless you succeed."
Her campaign team hopes to boost approval ratings, which have flagged since her soft-launch in April.
Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and daughter Chelsea appeared alongside her.
She promised to "make the economy work for everyday Americans, not just those at the top" if elected president next year.
"Prosperity can't be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers; democracy can't be just for billionaires and corporations," Mrs Clinton, 67, said during the rally.
"It's America's basic bargain... if you do your part, you ought to be able to get ahead, and when everybody does their part, America gets ahead too," she said.

The men and women eyeing the White House
Until now, the former US secretary of state has held small events with selected audiences in early voting states such as Iowa. Saturday's outdoor rally marked a change in gear for her campaign.
Mrs Clinton hopes to make history as the first female US president. If successful she would also keep the White House within the same party for a third term.
She did not detail specific policy proposals on Saturday. Her aides say that will happen over the next few weeks on issues including the economy, jobs and college affordability.
Jennifer Palmieri, the Clinton campaign's communications director, said Mrs Clinton plans to give a policy address almost every week in the coming months.
US 2016: Meet the possible candidates
It coincides with the visit to the island by her husband John McAreavey.
He has gone back to issue a fresh appeal for information about the killing.
The confidential telephone line is being set up by his lawyer in Mauritius, Dick Ng Sui Wa.
'I don't want sympathy, I want justice'
The idea is to give people who are reluctant to talk to the police, another means to provide information.
As well as the telephone hotline, there will be an address where people can post potential new evidence.
Mr McAreavey will give more details at a news conference at some stage in the next 48 hours.
He has not said anything publicly since he arrived on Saturday in the Mauritian capital Port Louis.
He is arranging meetings with the director of public prosecutions and the police.
No-one has been convicted of the murder of Mrs McAreavey, 27, the daughter of Tyrone gaelic football manager Mickey Harte.
She was strangled to death at a luxury hotel in northern Mauritius 12 days after her wedding in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
Before leaving for Mauritius, Mr McAreavey told the BBC he was prepared "to go to the ends of the earth to ensure that justice is achieved for Michaela".
John and Michaela McAreavey went on honeymoon to Mauritius in January 2011. She was found dead in a bath at the four-star Legends Hotel, after returning to her room to collect a packet of biscuits.
Two hotel workers - Avinash Treebhoowoon and Sandip Moneea - were later accused of murdering her and stood trial in the Mauritian capital Port Louis.
They were found not guilty of the murder.
Mauritian police launched a fresh investigation following the trial, but it came to nothing.
Mr McAreavey remarried in September last year. His wife, Tara Brennan, is an accountant from County Kildare.
He said: "I'm very, very fortunate that I've such a loving family.
"You move forward with life, you enjoy the good things, but you don't shy away from the hard things either."
The benchmark FTSE 100 index closed up 34.78 points or 0.57% to 6,174.57.

Sub-prime lender Provident Financial was the worst performer on the 100-share index, falling 3%. While insurers Aviva declined 2.5% and Admiral lost 2%.
On the currency markets, the pound was down 0.49% against the dollar at $1.4315, but was up 0.09% against the euro at €1.2913.
Bailey, from Bournemouth, scored 104.695 points for his two routines.

Britain already has two female trampoline places at Rio.
It will be the first time Great Britain is represented by a male trampolinist at the Olympics since Gary Smith competed at the 2004 Games in Athens.
Betham, 28, and forwards Graham Kitchener, 27, Dom Barrow, 23, and Will Evans, 19, have also agreed new deals.
Head coach Aaron Mauger, who is in temporary charge following Richard Cockerill's sacking, was "delighted".
"Continuity of your core group is very important," Mauger told BBC Radio Leicester.
"Pete has had a good couple of years and there is a lot more to get out of him. We are excited to work with him for another couple of years.
"Kitch is athletic and dynamic and he now has a lot of experience under his belt in big games.
"Dom is another relatively young guy who has a massive amount of potential and has the right attitude as well. He is an ultimate professional."
Betham added: "I'm ecstatic. I am very humbled and blessed to be able to spend a couple more years here. I have found a home here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else."
Tigers are fifth in the Premiership, 18 points adrift of leaders Wasps having lost six of their 13 league games so far this season.
Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said some people were giving up and taking teaching assistant jobs.
He said confusion around the five different routes into teaching was contributing to recruitment shortages.
The Conservatives say their reforms have helped produce the best-qualified school workforce on record.
They introduced two new school-based routes into teaching: School Direct and Troops to Teachers and expanded Teach First, which fast-tracks highly-qualified graduates into schools.
These came on top of School-Centred Initial Teachers Training and the traditional post-graduate route.
Although the entry requirements are the same for each option, the training and methods of assessment vary.
Mr Lightman said: "We recognise the value of having a variety of routes into teaching. We don't want to turn the clock back. Different people are suited to different approaches.
"But it is an issue at the moment that people have found it very confusing to understand how to go about getting into teaching and it has not always been obvious to them where they should look for objective advice about all the different routes.
"This confusion has deterred people at a time when there are significant recruitment problems."
He added that in the past there was a very straightforward central registry through which potential teachers applied but now candidates had to apply to numerous places.
"Many schools all over the country report great difficulties in recruiting trainee teachers of the right calibre, newly qualified teachers in specialist subject areas and also recruiting people into more senior posts, especially heads of departments in core subjects.
"It is also particularly difficult to recruit people in challenging schools."
Mr Lightman added: "There's no doubt that there's a big recruitment crisis and we are not getting newly-trained teachers in the right places."
He said a snapshot survey of members had revealed shortages were not just appearing in the normal areas, but in all areas and at all levels.
Department for Education statistics from last autumn showed primary school training courses had recruited 93% of their target. This is the third shortfall in a row.
In December, schools inspectorate Ofsted warned that the number of new teachers had dropped by 16% over the last five years - with 8,000 fewer trainees in secondary schools alone.
ASCL has produced a route map in response to requests from school leaders who were themselves confused about the array of options.
It is calling for a future government to review the current teacher supply model and assist teacher training providers in areas where recruitment is difficult.
A Conservative spokesman said it had created new high-quality routes into the profession.
"We're proud of having delivered programmes like School Direct which allow teachers to train in the classroom from day one and having supported the expansion of Teach First so that more exceptional graduates are tackling educational disadvantage and transforming children's life chances.
"The results are clear to see, with the best qualified school workforce on record, higher standards and one million more pupils in good or outstanding schools. The next Conservative government will introduce a National Teacher Service to build on this progress, ensuring we have excellent teachers in every school across the country."
A Liberal Democrat spokesman said: "To attract more teachers we need to show that teaching is a high status and rewarding profession. That's why Liberal Democrats will require every teacher to hold Qualified Teacher Status, will support the Royal College of Teaching and will invest in high quality professional development.
The party said it was protecting per pupil spending in real terms so that teachers have the money they need to deliver great lessons.
Labour has criticised the Conservatives for failing to secure enough trainee teachers for three years in a row.
"Labour will focus on raising the status of the teaching profession to attract new talent and retain the best teachers. And we will end the waste caused by the free schools programme, targeting spending on areas of need so we can cap class sizes for five, six and seven-year-olds at 30," said a spokesperson.
A road from Turkey used by the World Food Programme to reach eastern Aleppo was blocked last week after the government launched a major offensive.
The agency currently has an alternative route, but it may soon be severed too.
The UN is also calling on Turkey to let in some 30,000 people stranded on its border who have fled the fighting.
Aid workers say facilities at the border have been overwhelmed, with people forced to sleep outside in the bitter winter weather.
Separately, Medecins Sans Frontieres said air strikes had hit a hospital supported by the aid agency near the southern city of Deraa, killing three people and injuring six others, including a nurse.
The strike on the Tafas field hospital, some 12km (7 miles) from the Jordanian border, took place on the night of 5 February. It caused partial damage to the hospital building, and put its ambulance service out of action.
Aleppo, once Syria's commercial and industrial hub, has been roughly divided since 2012, with the government controlling the western half and rebel factions holding the east.
Eight days ago, the Syrian army and allied militias, backed by Russian air strikes, began an offensive north-west of Aleppo that swiftly broke a long-running siege of two pro-government towns and severed a key rebel supply route into the city.
They then advanced towards the Turkish border, and by Monday were reportedly only 25km (16 miles) away - the closest they have been since late 2013.

Meanwhile US Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday warned that Russia's aerial bombardment of Syrian opposition targets could destroy efforts to bring Syria's civil war to a conclusion.
"Russia's activities in Aleppo and in the region right now are making it much more difficult to be able to come to the table and... have a serious conversation," Mr Kerry said.
"We call on Russia again to join in the effort to bring about an immediate ceasefire and to bring about full humanitarian access."
Mr Kerry is due to meet his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Munich on Thursday at a gathering of the 17-nation contact group which is being convened with the aim of getting peace talks on track.
Syria for its part has insisted that it will continue with its objective of securing the border with Turkey and recapturing Aleppo, a top adviser to President Bashar al-Assad told the Reuters news agency on Tuesday.
Bouthaina Shaaban said that her government had little optimism that diplomatic efforts would succeed in ending the five-year civil war.
She said that support for a ceasefire came from countries that did "not want an end to terrorism" and instead wanted to help insurgents who are losing territory.
Rebels and opposition activists said they feared the government would soon attempt to sever their last route into eastern Aleppo from Turkey, which runs from the western Bab al-Hawa crossing.
The government has employed so-called "starve or surrender" tactics elsewhere in the country to regain rebel-held territory, most notably in the central city of Homs.
The UN Office for the Co-ordination for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) that such a move might leave up to 300,000 people cut off from humanitarian aid, unless access could be negotiated.
A spokeswoman for the World Food Programme reporters in Geneva that it was "extremely concerned about the situation on the ground".
The UN refugee agency has meanwhile called on Turkey to immediately allow them in.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said it had so far let in 10,000 of those waiting at Bab al-Salam, and would continue to do so in a "controlled fashion".
Turkey has accepted 2.5 million refugees since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad almost five years ago.
Witnesses in Buetzow, near Rostock, said cars were hurled 70m (230ft) and roof tiles blown off buildings, including the local hospital.
High winds, heavy rain and lightning have caused chaos across the region.
In the city of Hamburg, a man was killed and his pregnant girlfriend hurt when flying debris hit their car.
German media had reported wind speeds of up to 119km/h (74mph) in Geilenkirchen north of Aachen, and officials said at least 30 people across the region had been hurt by flying debris.
The full extent of the damage in Buetzow was revealed to its 8,000 residents on Wednesday morning.
Streets in the town centre were completely covered by red tiles blown from roofs.
A hospital had to be partially evacuated when its roof was damaged in the storm. The town hall, a nursing home and a church are also said to have been badly hit.
Mayor Christian Grueschow said the town had suffered "massive damage".
More than 100 emergency personnel were at the scene helping with the clear up, and two gyms were being used as emergency shelters, with some 300 beds for affected residents.
Also in Hamburg, five container ships broke loose from their moorings and some of them collided, German media reported. Tugs were used to bring them back to the quays.
Travel across the region has been disrupted with fallen trees blocking roads and rail lines.
The railway line between Hamburg and Luebeck was blocked in both directions by a fallen tree.
The storm followed a period of unusually warm weather across northern Germany and forecasters say more rain, thunder and lightning are expected on Thursday.

The old RAF Sea King helicopters are being phased out after private company the Bristow Group won the contract to run the service from April.
Services will be provided by 22 new helicopters, operating from 10 Coastguard bases.
Rescue volunteers took part in a training exercise near Keswick with the one of the new Sikorsky S92s.
The aircraft is larger than the Sea King, so those on the ground need to get used to the downdraft while co-ordinating winching operations.

Nine-month-old Millie Thompson, of Stockport, fatally choked on her lunch at Ramillies Hall School and Nursery in Cheadle Hulme, in October 2012.
A review was conducted after an e-petition was set up by Millie's mother Joanne.
She said she was "so proud" the change would be her "daughter's legacy".
Childcare and education minister Sam Gyimah announced the proposals.
He said: "Today's proposals will mean that thousands more staff will be able to respond to emergencies more quickly, making sure parents really can access the very best possible childcare choices for their families."
Mrs Thompson told BBC Radio Manchester she cried when she heard the news.
"It is absolutely fantastic," she said. "We have had so much support from the public for the past 15 months that it is crazy it wasn't in place in the first place.
"We are proud that these changes are being made in memory of our precious daughter and that her legacy continues to grow - but we are heartbroken that these changes are only coming into place because we lost her."
More than 102,000 people signed Mrs Thompson's online petition calling for a change in the law.
Cheadle MP Mark Hunter (Liberal Democrat), who held a Westminster Hall debate in parliament, said he was delighted with this "massive step in the right direction".
He said: "Out of the tragedy of losing Millie, [her parents] have exposed a loophole in the regulations that not all relevant nursery staff had to have a qualification in paediatric first aid."
He paid tribute to Millie's parents saying they had "done a sterling job" for a "very important cause".
An inquest at Oldham Magistrates' Court heard Millie started coughing and crying in a high chair while being fed shepherd's pie from a supervisor whose basic first aid certificate had expired.
The supervisor passed Millie to a colleague who had paediatric first aid training and gave the baby back slaps. But, shortly after paramedics arrived, Millie suffered a fatal cardiac arrest.
South Manchester coroner John Pollard returned a verdict of misadventure and said no-one was to blame.
He said paediatric first aid training for all nursery staff was "a matter of national importance".
Sean Kerr, from Bickenhill, Solihull, was convicted of nine animal cruelty charges after police and the RSPCA raided his puppy farm in December 2015.
A total of 37 puppies were seized, as well as one dead dog found in a plastic bag in a van parked at the farm.
Animal inspectors found puppies on floors coated with faeces and bedding soaked with urine, a court heard.
Kerr, 52, of Pastures Farm, Coventry Road, was sentenced at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here
He was found guilty of six counts of causing unnecessary suffering to dogs and three offences of failing to meet the needs of a number of dogs following a trial.
Kerr was also banned from keeping dogs for life and ordered to pay £30,000 costs. He has said he will appeal against his conviction and sentence.
An investigation was launched after various complaints to the RSPCA and the farm was raided on 22 December 2015.
The dogs included a pregnant shih tzu, which was discovered cowering in a downstairs toilet, and a pregnant pug. The RSPCA said 27 puppies were later born in its care.
Most of the dogs rescued from the farm were fostered and all can now be rehomed.
Kerr has pleaded not guilty to a charge under the Fraud Act which will be heard at Birmingham Crown Court in March.
The group said the "main focus" would be foreign forces, who would be targeted with a mix of conventional, guerrilla, insider and suicide attacks.
The Taliban would also focus on developing areas "cleansed from the enemy", the statement said.
The country is still reeling from last week's attack on a military base.
About 10 insurgents disguised as soldiers drove into a training compound in Mazar-e Sharif and killed at least 135 soldiers, according to an official death toll.
Some reports suggest it was even higher.
Afghanistan's defence minister and army chief of staff resigned over the attack.
The Taliban's annual spring offensive normally marks the start of the "fighting season", but this year militants continued fighting during the winter months.
The Taliban said that this year's offensive was to be named Operation Mansouri, after the Taliban leader killed by a US drone strike last year.
It promised a "twin-tracked political and military approach".
In areas it held, the focus would be on development and building, as well as propaganda "to help those deceived by the enemy see the truth of our struggle".
In territory held by the government, the Taliban would target "foreign forces, their military and intelligence infrastructure".
The interior ministry told AFP news agency the Taliban statement was "not something new".
But the offensive comes with Afghan forces, supported by about 8,400 US troops and 5,000 Nato soldiers, facing what visiting US Defence Secretary James Mattis described this week as "another tough year".
According to a US government estimate in November 2016, the Afghan government had uncontested control of only 57% of the country - down from 72% a year earlier.
In March, the Taliban seized control of Sangin, a strategically important district in the south.
IS militants have also established a small stronghold in the east and have carried out attacks in Kabul.
The top US commander in Afghanistan says more troops are needed to break the "stalemate" with the Taliban.
Mr Mattis, speaking in Kabul on Monday, said the White House was reviewing Afghan policy and that dialogue was ongoing.
Chief Executive Anne James said there had been a "sustained increase" in the numbers attending the department, creating "significant pressure".
In the report to the hospital board, she said warned of a "further detrimental impact" on patients.
The hospital is on "black alert" meaning it is overwhelmed by demand.
The alert has been in place since January. Ms James said 745 operations were cancelled in February.
The last time the hospital reached the government target of treating 95% of emergency department patients within four hours was last May.
"These pressures continue to affect our ability to meet the accident and emergency four hour standard and the cancellation of a large number of elective operations and planned investigations," Ms James said.
"In spite of these challenges, we continue to provide our patients with a safe and compassionate environment in which to receive their care.
"The current operational pressures cannot, however, be sustained without having a further detrimental impact on our patients and staff," she said.
The board of Plymouth Hospitals Trust will discuss the report later. | Andrew Trimble is set to return after injury in Friday's Pro12 game against Cardiff Blues at Kingspan Stadium.

They were detained on the Andover Estate in Islington in the early hours of the morning having been tracked by a police helicopter.
Police said they had dumped a stolen moped and other items before entering an address where they were arrested.
Officers said they were not detained in connection with a specific incident.
The number of attacks involving corrosive fluids has risen sharply in the capital in recent years.
There were 454 such crimes last year compared to 261 in 2015.
The four teenagers were "not detained on the basis of information connecting them to a specific acid attack", officers said.
The company, which makes Kitkat and Aero, says its researchers have found a way to structure sugar differently, so that it uses 40% less.
It claims this can be done without affecting the taste.
Nestle says it is patenting the findings, and it would start using the new sugar across its range from 2018.
Its scientists altered the structure of sugar so that it dissolves more quickly.
This fools the taste buds, with the effect of raising the sweetness, claims Nestle.
The company's chief technology officer, Stefan Catsicas, described the work as "truly groundbreaking research".
It is hard to generalise about how much sugar is in chocolate, as it varies from brand to brand.
But milk chocolate is typically 50% sugar - some of which comes from the milk used.
White chocolate could be as much as 60% sugar.
The amount of sugar in dark chocolate is highly variable. It can be as much as 40%, but it can have no sugar in it at all, although most people would consider that much too bitter.
Professor Julian Cooper, chair of the Scientific Committee at the Institute of Food Science and Technology, said Nestle's development was important: "This is good science. A lot of people have been looking at sugar trying to reduce the amount."
He said this would give Nestle products that use the adapted sugar the "halo-effect", in that people may think they can eat more.
But Professor Cooper, who has worked in sugar for 40 years, said Nestle's patents could spur rivals to make similar advances: "A patent is a double-edged sword. Although it protects what you have done it also tells your rivals about it."
Nestle has been cutting sugar across its range of products since 2007 when it introduced a "global policy on sugar reduction".
Other food companies have made technological breakthroughs with ingredients. Six years ago, PepsiCo, which owns the Walkers crisp brand, developed a designer salt molecule that it said would allow it to use less sodium without affecting taste.
Leigh Griffiths scored his 35th of the season just before half-time and Callum McGregor struck soon after the restart.
Sean Welsh pulled a goal back for the hosts with a penalty six minutes from time after Erik Sviatchenko was harshly done for dragging back Steven Lawless.
Celtic saw out some nervy minutes for their first win in three league games.
This game was open from the start. In the opening 10 minutes, Griffiths and Gary Mackay-Steven both went close to scoring, followed soon after by Liam Lindsay's thumping hit that Craig Gordon beat away.
Celtic had most efforts on goal in the opening half - eight to Thistle's three - and it was the last of them that proved the most telling.
Alan Archibald, Thistle's manager, would have been relatively happy with his team in the minutes leading up to the break. They had soaked up the pressure but had also threatened a few times down the other end. Parity at half-time would have done him nicely, but it was not to be.
The goal had its origins in hard work by Kieran Tierney and Mackay-Steven up the left. When the midfielder swung in his cross, Thistle lost their defensive bearings and allowed Griffiths to take over.
He controlled the ball with his first touch. As his markers evaporated, Griffiths struck his shot low past Tomas Cerny. The goalkeeper got a hand to it but could not keep it out. Yet again, Celtic's arch-marksman had done the job.
It was his eighth goal in eight games in a season that could well see him hit the precious half-century if he keeps going at his current rate.
The second half was only nine minutes old when they doubled their lead, McGregor coming in from the right-hand side of Thistle's penalty area and drilling a shot into the far corner of Cerny's net.
Griffiths could - and should - have had a second midway through the second half, but Cerny won the one-on-one battle. Colin Kazim-Richards, a second-half replacement for Kris Commons, got on the breaking ball but put a tame effort wide.
Later, the substitute set himself up with a chance, but that one went wide, too. Nir Bitton missed an easy chance also. None of these misses looked like they would have any relevance until that late penalty which could, at first viewing, could be categorised as the softest of the soft.
Welsh sent Gordon the wrong way from the spot and, suddenly, a cruise had become a bit of a bumpy ride. Celtic would have been feeling a tad queasy at the end of it, but they deserved their win.
It did not cost them, but they will ponder their profligacy all the same.

Manchester City, who last won the competition in 2014, will find out their semi-final opponents when the draw is made on Wednesday.
Blues manager Manuel Pellegrini reiterated the importance of the League Cup to his club ahead of kick-off, particularly this season with Premier League rivals Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal already out.
And the competition holds particular significance for the Chilean, who won his first English trophy by leading the Blues to success in his first season.
Manchester City were stunned in the third round by a youthful Newcastle side last season, but they learned from this experience against Championship promotion hopefuls Hull.
The Premier League leaders fielded a strong side, dominating the tie without creating a host of clear-cut chances - at least until the final 10 minutes.
The manner in which the home side picked off a tiring Hull side in the closing stages demonstrated why they are considered the favourites to win the first silverware of the English season.
Hull, who are fourth in the Championship, were entering uncharted territory in the competition, having never previously progressed into the last eight.

The Tigers looked to their surprise run to the 2014 FA Cup final - when they were narrowly beaten by Arsenal - for inspiration to beat City.
Several members of that team played at Etihad Stadium, but they were unable to really threaten as manager Steve Bruce's priority appeared to be containing their hosts.
Bruce made seven changes from the team which started Friday's home defeat by Derby - their first loss in 14 matches going back to early September.
But until Robertson's marvellous goal, where the Scotland international started the move inside his own half before finishing following a neat one-two, they rarely troubled home keeper Willy Caballero.
Spain midfielder David Silva made his first start for Manchester City since 3 October following an ankle injury, returning to captain the home side against Hull.
And the 29-year-old impressed with his usual touch and poise, as well as linking up with Belgium international De Bruyne to great effect.
While Silva pulled the strings, De Bruyne provided the punch.
The Belgium attacking midfielder continues to dazzle since arriving from German side Wolfsburg, taking his tally to nine goals and eight assists in 15 matches for the Blues.
Back to league action for these two high-flying teams.
Premier League leaders Manchester City go to 12th-placed Stoke City on Saturday, while Championship promotion hopefuls Hull visit Yorkshire rivals Leeds United.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini:
"The most important thing was to qualify for the semi-final but after that it was important for David Silva to have 80 minutes after a long injury.
"It was important for Bony to have 65 minutes after a muscle injury and for Kelechi, a young player, to score.
"I am very pleased because I think it was a difficult game against a good team that is at the top of the table in the Championship.
"More than that we played the third game in less than one week and we had a very good response from the team with different names."
Hull City manager Steve Bruce:

"If we needed a reminder how cruel it was to play against the big boys, we just had one.
"After 80 minutes we just had our best spell of the match and after 87 minutes it was 4-0. It was never a 4-1.
"Defensively, apart from the goal, I can't remember them creating a chance in the first half even though they had huge possession."

A 1-0 victory at home to Slovenia on Sunday kept the Scots' hopes alive but they remain fourth in qualifying Group F, two points adrift of Slovakia in second and six behind leaders England.
Defender Robertson thinks the nation can really start to believe if Scotland beat England at Hampden on 10 June.
"If we pick up points in that game we're right back in it," he said.
"We're only two points off second and we have a massive game coming up against England at home. If we show that tempo and desire you never know what happens."
England maintained their dominance of Group F with a 2-0 win over Lithuania at Wembley on Sunday, and Scotland's recent record against their neighbours makes for grim reading.
They lost 3-0 at Wembley last November in the current campaign, and of the last 10 meetings between the sides Scotland have managed just one win and one draw.
But Robertson took heart from a slick showing against Slovenia. It took a late Chris Martin goal to win it but Scotland undoubtedly deserved the three points and should have scored more.
"From what I remember that's the best we've played in a while, especially first-half," left-back Robertson said.

"I think they only had one shot on goal in the whole game and that's what we've been asking for.
"It does feel like a big win, and there was a bit of pressure on us. We put the pressure on ourselves, we said it was a must-win and didn't hide away from that. The gaffer and the players, we all said it was must-win so we're glad we got the three points and it opens up the group a bit."
Robertson faced Slovenia in his usual position but fellow left-back Kieran Tierney switched across to right-back, a move that raised eyebrows before kick-off.
"People were probably doubting whether one of us could play right-back but we were both confident we could do it," Hull's Robertson said.
"I thought KT was brilliant out there, even though it's uncomfortable for him, but that didn't show and I thought I played well as well. As a defensive unit the whole back four played well."
Winger Robert Snodgrass was also hugely encouraged by the performance on Sunday night, and felt the Scots got back to what they are good at.
"It was a relief in the end, but I was delighted in the way we played," the West Ham player said.
"I thought we were great. First-half we were brilliant, we passed it and moved, we created chances and if Leigh [Griffiths] takes a couple of those chances it could've been a comfortable night.
"Slovenia are a big physical side and it was up to us to go and trust ourselves on the ball. The other night against Canada we never trusted each other on the ball and I think that's sometimes when you get that losing mentality, you sort of lose faith in what the aim is."
The National Trust is looking for a "brave" and "hardy" new ranger to work on the remote Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast.
Duties will include monitoring protected wildlife, scientific research and occasionally hair-drying damp chicks.
Countryside manager Gwen Potter said it was not "the normal nine to five" and "not a job for the faint-hearted".
"Being good with PowerPoint isn't a priority," she added.
Rangers live on the island, about two miles off the coast, for nine months of the year and need to be willing to "brave dive-bombing attacks from Arctic terns", the trust said.
There is no running water - apart from the sea - and storms can leave rangers "marooned" on the islands for weeks at a time.
Workplace social life is limited to thousands of puffins, one of England's largest seal colonies - and an annual 50,000 visitors.
Ms Potter said "living here, you truly feel like you're on the edge of the world".
'We're looking for someone with a passion for wildlife and conservation - and who wants to share that passion with others," she said.
The islands have been protected for 189 years and have been a site for scientific research for decades.
Other duties will include making repairs, counting seal pups and carrying out a five-yearly puffin census.
Applications must be in by 7 February.
Black Labrador Ella fled after being hit by a car on Mersea Island on Thursday.
Ella, who had earlier escaped from Kate and Tyson Burns-Green's West Mersea garden, was spotted swimming to Ray Island and Packing Shed Island before eventually being rescued on Sunday.
The Blackwater Veterinary Surgery said she was 95% dehydrated.
For more on this and other Essex stories
During her rescue by boatmen from Mersea, she plunged into the water again and and attempted to swim towards Tollesbury.
Hundreds watched and applauded as nine-year-old Ella was brought ashore and reunited with her owners.
Mrs Burns-Green told how, after the dog went missing, appeals for information were put out on social media.
She said: "Although she loves swimming, she usually asks before going into the water.
"It all culminated on Sunday evening when a family spotted a black Labrador on Ray Island and they rang my husband.
"Their dog pushed her out of some bushes and Ella ran off into the water and swam to Packing Shed Island.
"She ran to the end of Packing Shed Island and jumped into the water where two boats cornered her, grabbed hold of her and brought her back to shore.
"All this while the sun was going down.
"I was totally overwhelmed by the amount of love and support out there."
Emergency services received reports the plane had crashed near Summerley Airfield at about 13:00 BST.
Police, fire and ambulance crews have all been at the site, which is near Summerley Road in the village of Apperknowle.

Surrounding roads have been closed and any eyewitnesses have been urged to call 101 by police.
Monday's rally was being held outside parliament in the capital, Skopje.
Mr Gruevski, who was at the rally to address the crowd, faces wire-tapping and corruption allegations but denies wrongdoing and has refused to resign.
An anti-Gruevski protest camp has been set up outside government offices.
Power struggle in Macedonia
The camp, which still holds hundreds of protesters who say they will remain until Mr Gruevski quits, is about 2km (1.5 miles) from Monday's pro-government rally.
Descending on the mass rally, supporters of the prime minister waved red and yellow flags and chanted "Macedonia! Macedonia!" and "Nikola! Nikola!"
One demonstrator who gave her name as Snezana told Reuters: "We're here to defend our country. It's time we stand up against this dark foreign scenario."
The opposition Social Democrats accuse the government of wiretapping 20,000 people, including politicians, journalists and religious leaders.
Their leader Zoran Zaev says scores of leaked recordings reveal corruption at the highest levels of government, including the mismanagement of funds, dubious criminal prosecutions of opponents and even cover-ups of killings.
But Mr Gruevski, who has won successive elections since 2006, has repeatedly rejected the allegations.
He has accused Mr Zaev of orchestrating a coup at the behest of unnamed foreign spy agencies who, he says, want to overthrow his conservative government.
Adding to the political instability, last weekend eight police officers and 14 ethnic Albanian fighters were killed in clashes in the city of Kumanovo.
In 2001, Macedonia was on the brink of civil war when armed rebels demanded greater rights for the Albanian minority, which makes up about a quarter of Macedonia's 2.1 million population.

Gonzalo Higuain scored the only goal at Estadio Nacional, a thunderous early strike that ended his run of six international games without a goal.
But Belgium's so-called golden generation were undone by another quicksilver Lionel Messi performance, as Argentina set up a last-four encounter with Netherlands in Sao Paulo on Wednesday.
The two-time champions again failed to reach their fluid best, and it is significant that all five of their wins at this World Cup have been by a single goal.
Belgium went out with something of a whimper, lacking cohesion, creativity and precision and only threatening late on when they played one long ball after another towards Marouane Fellaini.
But on the day he equalled Diego Maradona's haul of 91 caps for Argentina, Messi stood apart, with a performance of majesty that propelled his side into the last four.
Media playback is not supported on this device
At times, he was balletic, at others he was bold. He played 40-yard passes with the precision of a master craftsman and pirouetted away from danger time and again.
Sharper to the ball, more urgent in possession, Argentina started the quicker of the sides.
With Brazil striker Neymar confined to a wheelchair, there was a sense the tournament needed one of its superstars to produce a performance to remember. Messi did not disappoint.
Belgium did not help themselves, however. Captain Vincent Kompany gave possession away carelessly inside his own half after eight minutes, the ball running to Messi.
The Barcelona forward spun away from two defenders and clipped a pass to Angel Di Maria. His pass was deflected into the path of Higuain, who swivelled and volleyed unerringly beyond Thibaut Courtois to send the tens of thousands of Argentina fans in the stadium into raptures.
There was more Messi magic to come. Argentina's talisman danced his way through a crowd of Belgium players before being clipped on the edge of the area. His resulting free-kick curled narrowly wide but Belgium were on the back foot.
For much of the opening 45 minutes, the Red Devils were insipid, not inventive.
Kevin de Bruyne stung Sergio Romero's palms from distance and Kevin Mirallas headed a Jan Vertonghen cross narrowly wide, but there was little pace or purpose.
With Messi in the spotlight, Eden Hazard struggled to escape the shadow. Belgium were caught between wanting to throw caution to the wind and a fear of what Argentina might do on the counter attack.
An example came 10 minutes into the second half, when Mirallas lost the ball after a swift Belgium break. Higuain raced away, nutmegged Kompany and skimmed a curling shot onto the crossbar.
The introduction of substitutes Romelu Lukaku and Dries Mertens was an attempt to change that dynamic.
With time running out, Vertonghen found Fellaini, who headed over. Moments later, Ezequiel Garay almost deflected De Bruyne's cross into his own net. Hazard was replaced by Tottenham's Nacer Chadli as Marc Wilmots played his last card.
Belgium poured forward in search of a goal that might take them to extra time, but failed to produce a moment that called Romero into serious action. Messi had a chance to cap his display with a late goal, only for Courtois to smother his shot when the pair faced each other one on one.
With time running out, Belgium came again, Lukaku prodding a ball across goal before Axel Witsel fired the rebound over. But Argentina and Messi stood firm.

When the race first appeared on the calendar in 1986, the world was a very different place. For a start, Hungary was a communist country under the control of the Soviet Union. It was, in fact, the first grand prix ever to be held behind the 'Iron Curtain'.
Now, Hungary is within the orbit of the west as a member of the European Union. But while the political background to the event has changed, it has held on to its uniqueness.
The Hungaroring was built on a dusty piece of land 12 miles or so outside - but in many ways a million miles away from - the boulevards, cobblestones and historic squares of central Budapest.
And yet on this unpromising natural amphitheatre, the Hungarians built a special grand prix track, with unprepossessing looks but a unique challenge.
"Like a street circuit without the houses," Martin Brundle famously remarked on F1's first appearance there; a reference to the track's tight and twisty nature. In reality, it is more like a go-kart track writ large.
Corner tumbles after corner as the track plunges and rises around its bowl of hills, the drivers subjected to a relentless cascade of curves.
The long, downhill hairpins of Turns One and Two, followed by a downhill kink at Three, then the very fast uphill sweep at Four into another long, long hairpin.
After the chicane that follows, the mid-section of the lap is a blast - left, right, left, right in a series of medium-fast sweepers that test a driver's skills and his car's aerodynamics and balance to the limit.
The incessant corners and short pit straight make overtaking very difficult, and yet still somehow the place seems to produce its fair share of great racing.
Many of the recent races there have been terrific - and Daniel Ricciardo's fighting win for Red Bull in 2014 was an all-time classic.
Perhaps it's the breathless, relentless nature of the track, which teases errors out of drivers; perhaps it's the low-grip, low abrasion surface; probably, it's both.
Whatever, with a great little race track allied to one of Europe's great cities, it is a low-key highlight of the season.
And with Lewis Hamilton chasing yet more history - a win would see him become the most successful driver here with five wins - there's plenty to play for this year too.

Philip Hammond said £2.3bn would be spent on infrastructure - such as roads - related to housing developments.
The chancellor said the money would support the building of up to 100,000 new homes, and amounted to a "step-change" in help for the industry.
The government has also agreed to spend an extra £1.4bn on affordable housing in England.
Local authorities will be able to bid for the money under one of three existing schemes : Affordable Rent, Shared Ownership or Rent to Buy.
The Treasury estimates that could lead to 40,000 more affordable homes being built.
The money will top up the existing £4.7bn being spent on grants for affordable housing over the next five years.

The National Housing Federation (NHF), which represents Housing Associations, said it was delighted with the announcement.
"Increased flexibility and extra investment will give housing associations the freedom and confidence to build even more affordable homes, more quickly, across the country," said David Orr, chief executive of the NHF.
Earlier this month, official figures indicated that the number of affordable homes being built in England had sunk to its lowest level in 24 years.
In the year to March 2016, just 32,110 affordable homes were completed, a 52% fall on the previous year.
However, recent figures suggest that the overall housing supply increased by 11% in the year to April 2016.
The chancellor also announced a "large-scale" pilot of the right to buy scheme for housing association tenants.
He said it would involve 3,000 tenants being allowed to buy the homes they currently rent.
A white paper on house-building will follow "in due course".
Where can I afford to live?
With the bank manager just about finished with the calculator, criticism of the sport's biggest ever TV arrangement has started.
First the pundits and politicians, then those that quite frankly matter the most: the fans.
Supporters' groups from nearly half of all Premier League clubs have told Newsbeat they've got "no faith" the £5.136 billion deal will help bring down ticket prices.
"It's time to fulfil the true potential of this TV deal, the players are paid enough already lets see the fans get some benefit for a change," said Martin Smith from Stoke City Supporters Trust.
"It's time to reintroduce sensible ticket prices, which will give the game back to ordinary people, especially the young who find themselves priced out."
Fans from Manchester United, Hull City, Leicester City and Burnley agree. They have all told us the TV deal is looking after the clubs and not the fans.
So could the contract signed between the Premier League, Sky Sports and BT price fans out of the game?
Stoke City chairman Peter Coates has spoken exclusively to Newsbeat.
"I don't see why that should be so," he explained.
"We do play to very high attendance ratios, obviously people are coming and we have to ensure that continues, that's up to the clubs.
"Clearly the major source of income for football clubs in the Premier League is television revenue. I believe there is an opportunity for clubs to make sure (ticket) prices are more affordable."
Leading politicians have called for more money from the sale of domestic TV rights to be put into grassroots football and reducing ticket prices.
Former England internationals Gary Lineker and Jamie Carragher are among those who feel the revenue increase should result in cheaper tickets.
The BBC's Price of Football survey last year showed that the average price of cheapest tickets in England has risen at almost twice the rate of the cost of living since 2011.
As part of its current TV contract, the Premier League says it has invested £56m in grassroots football in each of the last three seasons.
We will have to wait and see how this is affected by the new contract.
"We won't be lowering ticket prices," admits Peter Coates.
"We will probably freeze them though and we have done that several times since the last deal. We also support away travel, we subsidise coaches.
"Football supporters want the best players and that's what the Premier League delivers.
"It is a great product which demonstrates itself by the kind of money we are getting for TV rights."

A judge told Daniel George Clarke three years of intense probation supervision and work would ultimately best serve and safeguard both him and society.
Clarke, 23, from Coronation Road in Carrickfergus, admitted 23 charges of downloading the images.
He also pleaded guilty to one of distributing some of them.
Clarke was put on the Sex Offenders' Register and made subject to a five-year Sex Offenders Prevention Order.
Belfast Crown Court heard that following a police search of his home in November 2013, Clarke admitted looking for the images and sharing them with others on an internet chat site.
A defence lawyer said while a remorseful Clarke knew it was both wrong and illegal, he went looking for more images after they were "burnt into his brain" after he initially "stumbled" upon them on the internet.
The judge said that downloading images of child sex abuse was not a victimless crime, and while the children were unknown to Clarke and police, they were individuals subjected to the most appalling abuse and lives of physical degradation.
"These are not just pictures, they are actual people," he added.
Judge McFarland said it was accepted Clarke's guilty pleas were based on genuine remorse and that there were many positive aspects to his life, notwithstanding his serious offending.
The Crown Court judge added, while on one view the custody threshold had been passed, he had to consider the impact of such a sentence, as in Clarke's case it would be a minimal jail term of between two to three months.
Judge McFarland said this would be served in the prison's sex offenders secure unit where Clarke would be exposed to the more dangerous elements of sex offending.
He said spending even two months in their presence and under their "malevolent and manipulative influence" would not result in a positive outcome either for Clarke or ultimately society.
The judge added that he preferred the suggested alternative contained in the pre-sentence report, advocating an intense period of supervision by probation during which time Clarke would undertake any course work they deemed necessary.
Resuming the final day on 113-0, Ed Joyce and Matt Machan fell early on before Nash and Ross Taylor shared a 93-run third-wicket stand.
Ben Raine had Nash, who hit 21 fours in his innings, caught behind for 144 leaving Sussex 342-5 - a lead of 32.
But bowlers Ollie Robinson (25 no) and Ajmal Shahzad batted for 14.5 overs as Sussex closed on 377-6.
Sussex opener Chris Nash told BBC Sussex:
"I worked hard during the winter with Gary Kirsten (former India and South Africa head coach) and it has paid off.
"Gary stays in touch and he texted me at tea and I know he's delighted with how I have started the season, but the coaching staff here have made sure I keep doing the things that we worked on.
"My job here was just to bat as long as I could but because I'm more relaxed I get less tired, it was disappointing to get out when I did because I still felt good.
"Our performance on the first two days was unacceptable but I thought we fought back well. There's no doubt it's going to be a graft this summer to get promoted because every team in the second division is showing a lot of fight."
Leicestershire bowler Clint McKay told BBC Radio Leicester:
"It was a tough day for us on what was still an excellent wicket and fair play to Chris Nash, he batted brilliantly to save the game for them.
"You couldn't ask for more in terms of how we played. The bowling unit kept running in hard and at no stage did we let the game drift.
"We can come away with what I guess is a winning draw and lots of positives to take into our next game against Northamptonshire.
"We have had a good start to the season and it's important that we keep the momentum we have going."
"If there's a chance for him to be back to the Tracy Morgan he once was, he's going to try to do that," said Benedict Morelli. "But we just don't know."
Morgan is seeking compensation from retail giant Walmart after one of its trucks crashed into his limousine bus.
Comedian James McNair died in the 7 June crash on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Former Saturday Night Live star Morgan suffered a traumatic brain injury in the accident, in addition to a broken leg, nose and ribs.
The update on his condition came as lawyers met in New Jersey to agree on a schedule for Morgan's legal action against Walmart.
The 46-year-old spent several weeks in a hospital and in rehab and is "just not better" according to his attorney.
"We're hoping and praying to get him back to where he was," said Mr Morelli. "But the jury's out."
Truck driver Kevin Roper, who is not named in Morgan's action, has been charged with death by auto and four counts of assault by auto.
Walmart are contending that Morgan's injuries and McNair's death were partly their own fault because they were not wearing seatbelts.
The Hyperloop is a conceptual transport system in which passenger pods could be fired through vacuum tubes at more than 600mph (1,000km/h).
The MIT team came first in a SpaceX competition to design pods that could be tested in a prototype tube.
The team will now have the opportunity to build and test its design in the US.
Elon Musk - the entrepreneur behind companies such as Paypal, SpaceX, and Tesla Motors - announced his vision for a Hyperloop transport system in August 2013.
Although SpaceX is not developing its own commercial Hyperloop, the company says it wants to "accelerate development" of the idea and is building a mile-long test track in California.
The winning entries in the company's design competition will now have the opportunity to test them in full-scale tubes over the summer.
Describing his team's winning design, chief engineer Chris Merian said: "Our pod focuses on levitating as well as moving at really high speeds."
"Those are the two things that we see as crucial to this being a true Hyperloop pod," he added.
To help reassure potentially nervous riders, the MIT designers have included fail-safe brakes, which would stop the pod if the computer systems failed.
However the design currently does not have space for cargo or passengers.
More than 115 teams entered the design competition, with the MIT engineers scooping the Best Overall Design prize.
Twenty-two teams will go on to test their pod designs on the SpaceX test track.
Speaking at the award ceremony in Texas on Saturday, Mr Musk described the next stage of the competition.
"The basic idea with the competition is we're going to try to get the highest possible speed in the 1.5 km (one mile) track, and then of course you have to stop before the end.
"There will be foam put at the end, so you might recover some pieces of your pod," he told an enthusiastic audience.
"The goal is to come up with something that could ultimately be used. If you were to extend the track to hundreds of kilometres, the system would still work.
"What we intended to do with Hyperloop was really to spur interest in new forms of transportation, and I'm starting to think this is really going to happen.
"It's clear that the public and the world wants something new."

A woman in her 30s and two boys in the car were taken to hospital suffering head, chest and pelvic injuries.
Three people travelling on the bus - a woman, a seven-year-old girl and a man in his 20s - went to hospital with minor injuries. The driver was unhurt.
The collision occurred at the junction of Langley Green Road and Causeway Green Road, Oldbury at about 20:00 GMT.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said the boys in the car were believed to be 11-years-old.
"The woman suffered serious head, chest and pelvic injuries. The one boy suffered serious leg injuries with the second boy suffering pelvic injuries," a spokesman said.
"All three received emergency treatment at the scene and the woman was then transferred to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Major trauma unit, with the two boys being transferred to Birmingham Children's Hospital, all in separate ambulances.
"A woman and a seven-year-old girl received treatment and were transferred by response car to Sandwell Hospital.
"A man in his 20s also received treatment for minor injuries and decided to make his own way to hospital with a friend."
They include a Roman wine dipper found in the Borders, a historic brooch from the Highlands, and a gold ring discovered in Midlothian.
The Queen's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer (QLTR) Catherine Dyer said it had been another "magnificent year".
She thanked members of the public who had reported their finds.
The latest report covers the period from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014.
It details matters dealt with by the QLTR and the Scottish Archaeological Finds Allocation Panel (SAFAP).
Under Scots law, it is the prerogative of the Crown to receive "all lost and abandoned property which is not otherwise owned".
The latest Treasure Trove report includes more than 800 objects discovered by more than 250 "finders".
They are generally given a small ex gratia payment to recognise their contribution.
The items found included a gold Merovingian coin dating from the 7th Century discovered at Coldstream in the Borders.
Such coins were in use across England, but finding one in Scotland is highly unusual and this was the first of its type to be located north of the border.
A Roman wine dipper was discovered at Hawick, while an Iron Age strap mount, which would have decorated the trappings of a horse and chariot, was found at Dunbar in East Lothian.
Other finds included a medieval silver crucifix at Loch Leven in Perth and Kinross, and a 16th Century gold finger ring decorated with white enamel which was discovered at Roslin in Midlothian.
Ms Dyer said: "The report confirms that this has been another magnificent year with some outstanding finds being reported, preserved and displayed in breathtaking museum collections around Scotland."
Some canister shot from Culloden in the Highlands was also unearthed, as were fragments of a bronze age sword blade found at Dundrennan in Dumfries and Galloway and a Roman brooch located at Charlestown in Fife.
An interior ministry statement accused Sheikh Isa Qassim of using his position to "serve foreign interests" and promote "sectarianism and violence".
The cleric, who holds the religious rank of ayatollah, has backed protests led by the majority Shia community for greater civil and political rights.
The US has said it is "alarmed" at the move, and Iran has condemned it.
A US State Department spokesman said Washington was "unaware of any credible evidence" to support the removal of citizenship.
It comes days after Bahrain's government suspended the leading Shia opposition grouping, Wefaq National Islamic Society, closing its offices and ordering its assets to be frozen.
Wefaq's political leader, Shia cleric Sheikh Ali Salman, is in prison and recently had his jail term increased to nine years, after being convicted in 2015.
A US diplomatic cable published by Wikileaks described Sheikh Isa Qassim as Wefaq's spiritual leader. He is also regarded as the spiritual leader of Bahrain's wider Shia community.
The US cable said the cleric had studied in the Iranian city of Qom in the 1990s and also spent time in the Iraqi city of Najaf, another centre of Shia learning.
Announcing the move to strip him of his Bahraini citizenship, the interior ministry said the cleric had "adopted theocracy and stressed the absolute allegiance to the clergy".
It added that he had been in continuous contact with "organisations and parties that are enemies of the kingdom".
The influential commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, Gen Qasem Soleimani, is reported to have said Bahrain had crossed a "red line" with its "aggression" against the ayatollah.
In a statement carried by Iran's semi-official Fars news agency, he said the Bahraini people would "have no choice but armed resistance".
The UN's universal declaration of human rights says everyone has the right to a nationality.
But Bahrain's citizenship law allows for the cabinet to revoke the citizenship of anyone who "causes harm to the interests of the kingdom or behaves in a way inimical with the duty of loyalty to it".
Human Rights Watch says more than 200 Bahrainis were stripped of their citizenship last year, in some cases making them stateless.
Those involved may appeal against the decision, but the human rights group says Bahrain's courts "appear to grant the authorities absolute discretion" in such cases.
Ayatollah Qassim was born in Bahrain and activists say he does not hold any other nationality.
Hussein Abdulla, executive director of campaign group Americans for Human Rights and Democracy in Bahrain, called the move to revoke his citizenship "an unprecedented low for the Bahraini authorities".
British-based campaign group, the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy, said it was concerned the action would "escalate tensions on the streets and may even lead to violence".
Human Rights Watch said it took the country "into the darkest days" since 2011, when demonstrators took to the streets to demand greater political rights and an end to discrimination against the Shia majority.
Later that year, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa brought in troops from neighbouring Sunni-led Gulf states to restore order and crush dissent. The unrest left at least 30 civilians and five policemen dead.
Opposition activists say dozens of people have been killed in ongoing clashes between protesters and security forces, while bomb attacks blamed on Iran-backed militants have left a number of police officers dead.
People in the wider community also chipped in to cover the cost of William's £8,000 operation last month.
He first arrived at Invernevis House in Fort William early last year.
William had previously been found neglected in Cyprus by a couple from Keith in Moray who were visiting the island.
Invernevis House manager Kit Cameron said: "We are pleased to say that William successfully came through his hip operation with no complications and is doing fantastically well.
"He lived his whole life with a degenerative hip condition and he's now free from the pain that caused him. He's under doctor's orders to take it easy, but try telling him that.
"The residents are taking great care of him and nursing him back to full health."
Emergency services were called to a house in East Calder on Sunday morning but 15-year-old Dione Melville was pronounced dead a short time later.
Police Scotland said the girl's death was being treated as unexplained.
Another two 15-year-old girls were taken to St John's Hospital in Livingston as a precaution.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Police in West Lothian were called to an address in the East Calder area at around 9.50am on Sunday March 27 following a report of concern for a teenager.
"The Scottish Ambulance Service attended and a 15-year-old girl was sadly pronounced dead a short time later.
"Two girls, also aged 15, were taken to St John's Hospital as a precaution.
"The death is currently being treated as unexplained. A report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal and inquiries are continuing."
Arsene Wenger's side missed the creativity of Mesut Ozil, who was injured, but had chances to win the game only to be denied by Jack Butland.
The England goalkeeper tipped over Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's long-range strike, before denying Olivier Giroud's header.
Stoke finished strongly as Jon Walters had a late header cleared off the line by Aaron Ramsey.
The draw means Arsenal move ahead of Leicester on goal difference. Stoke remain seventh.
Analysis: Arsenal pass title test - Alan Shearer
Arsenal have started 2016 well poised to challenge for a first league title in 12 years, and key to their impressive form this season has been Ozil.
The German tops the Premier League assist chart with 16, so his absence on Sunday because of a foot injury was undoubtedly a big blow for the Gunners.
Media playback is not supported on this device
It did, however, provided Oxlade-Chamberlain with the chance to step up.
He certainly looked like he had a point to prove, forcing Butland into a fine one-handed save with a curling strike midway through the first half.
However, he was also guilty of losing possession at times and became increasingly anonymous as the game wore on.
If he is to prove himself an able deputy for Ozil, he will need to a show a lot more than he did on Sunday.
Arsenal may never get as good a chance to win the league as they will this season, with the challenge from their traditional title rivals faltering.
Arsene Wenger's side had lost just once in the eight games prior to the trip to Stoke, but Gunners fans might have been forgiven for feeling a little uneasy about their recent away form - they have now picked up just six points from a possible 18.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Arsenal were looking for their first win at the Britannia Stadium since 2010, so a victory at Stoke - especially without their talisman Ozil - would certainly have underlined their credentials as genuine title contenders.
In the opening stages of the game, however, they were second best, struggling to match Stoke's neat passing.
They improved as the game wore on, but not by much. Giroud's header - well saved by Butland - was their only effort on target in the second half.
Stoke's attacking talent has, quite rightly, been getting plenty of praise this season but Butland has been just as impressive in the Potters' goal.
His total of 81 is more saves than any other goalkeeper has made in the Premier League this season and he was key to Stoke's frustrating of Arsenal.
His saves from Oxlade-Chamberlain and Giroud kept his side in the game, allowing them to press in the closing stages as the visitors retreated, opting to protect the point.
As a consequence, Stoke could have snatched all three points just before full-time, but Walters' header from a corner was kept out by Ramsey, before Petr Cech blocked Joselu's follow-up.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes: "It was a game between evenly matched sides. Both teams approached the game in the right manner and created chances. All-in-all we're pleased. It shows our progress. Teams have found it difficult to get points here.
"We are showing everyone we have belief in our ability. There was a period where Arsenal had some play around the box without creating too much. It was a similar story at the other end.
"It was a competitive game. At times, there were good opportunities to put the ball in the box and so the only criticism I would have is that we were reluctant to do that."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "Maybe we had a better opportunities to score, they played very well, very physical and were very direct, which is an unusual style for them.
"We needed to be strong physically and had a great spirit, we fought very hard but couldn't take our chances. It is a hard fought 0-0. We have done better than years before at this ground and showed we can fight even when we miss certain players.
"It shows the spirit in the team, the desire and togetherness. We were less creative but on the physical front we did well."
Stoke travel to high-flying Leicester on Saturday. Arsenal host Chelsea the following day.
Magistrates in Ipswich heard the Norwich City player reached the speed at the wheel of a BMW 7 Series on the A14 at Newmarket in March, the East Anglian Daily Times first reported.

"I am satisfied that the risk to the general public is very low."
He added: "I can reassure the community that we have a dedicated inquiry team actively pursuing those responsible.
"Part of the roadway has been cordoned off and the local community are thanked for their cooperation. The road is still accessible to traffic."
Det Insp Colin Robson, of Police Scotland, said: "This is a significant police inquiry and I would appeal for anyone who has any information that could assist with this investigation to come forward."

The bird known as "George" was found with a bolt lodged in its left eye in Cheltenham's Pittville Park on Tuesday.
A JustGiving page to pay for its treatment and a reward to catch the person responsible has raised £3,490.
Caroline Gould, from Vale Wildlife Hospital, said: "He's lost an eye and is critical but this shows the strength of feeling people have for George."
The "well-loved" swan, along with its breeding partner Zelda, has been a fixture on Pittville lakes for a number of years.
"The bolt from the crossbow went straight through his eye, missing his brain by millimetres," said Ms Gould.
"With an injury of that magnitude, I'm surprised he made it through the night but he has - but he is still very, very sick.
"He's close to quite a lot of people's hearts - so it would be very nice if the person or persons who did this could be found and caught."
During a face-to-face meeting in Washington, Mr Obama called Mr Mujica a leader on human rights throughout the Western hemisphere.
For his part, President Mujica suggested that Americans prepare themselves for demographic changes.
The Uruguayan leader said the US would have to become a "bilingual country".
The two presidents discussed trade and strengthening existing educational exchanges, but there was no mention of Uruguay's controversial legalisation last week of the production, sale and consumption of marijuana.
By Thomas SparrowBBC Mundo, Washington
The meeting between the two presidents was interesting not so much because of what they said to the media, but because of what they didn't say. Speaking before their private meeting, both leaders avoided references to Uruguay's recent legalisation of marijuana, as well as President Mujica's willingness to provide refuge in Uruguay to prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. They also refrained from answering questions about these controversial issues, which may well have been discussed behind closed doors.
Some journalists in the Oval Office highlighted the fact that President Mujica was wearing a suit but not a tie, unlike his American counterpart. It was a powerful symbol in the most formal of settings by a leader who has distinguished himself in the world stage for his austere lifestyle. While speaking to President Obama, he even referenced the "humbleness" of "his little Uruguay".
The marijuana law, which Mr Mujica signed on 6 May, is intended to deprive criminals of the lucrative sale of cannabis, but critics argue it will expose more people to drugs.
President Obama said he and his counterpart both thought there was "room for additional work to expand trade and commerce between our countries".
He also praised Uruguay's "contributions to peacekeeping in places like Haiti and Africa", adding that the two nations could learn from each other on how to deal with diverse societies.
The Uruguayan president spoke about his country's tough restrictions on tobacco smoking, which have led to it being sued by the US tobacco giant Philip Morris.
"In the world, eight million people die each year from smoking tobacco," he said.
"This is mass murder. We are in an arduous fight, very arduous, and we must fight against very strong [corporate] interests."
Mr Mujica also said that, as people were learning English in his country out of necessity, Americans also had to learn Spanish because of an increase in the Latino population.
"The strength of Latin women is admirable, and they will fill this continent with people who speak Spanish and also Portuguese."
The meeting come less than two months after President Mujica announced his country would take five prisoners from the US Guantanamo Bay detention centre in Cuba.
He said he had accepted a request from President Obama "for human rights reasons".

A study following more than 37,000 Swedish men showed those eating the most chocolate were the least likely to have a stroke.
It follows on from other studies that have suggested eating chocolate can improve the health of the heart.
However, researchers and the Stroke Association warned the findings were not an excuse to overeat chocolate.
Everyone taking part in the study was asked about their eating habits and their health was monitored for a decade.
They were split into four groups based on the amount of chocolate, with the bottom group eating, on average, no chocolate each week and the top group having 63g (2.2oz) - slightly more than an average bar.
Comparing the top and bottom groups showed those eating the most chocolate were 17% less likely to have a stroke during the study, published in the journal Neurology.
One of the researchers, Prof Susanna Larsson, from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, said: "The beneficial effect of chocolate consumption on stroke may be related to the flavonoids in chocolate.
"Flavonoids appear to be protective against cardiovascular disease through antioxidant, anti-clotting and anti-inflammatory properties.
"It's also possible that flavonoids in chocolate may decrease blood concentrations of bad cholesterol and reduce blood pressure."
The study also noted that while dark chocolate had been linked to benefits for the heart in the past, milk chocolate was the preferred option in Sweden and in the study.
Dr Clare Walton, from the Stroke Association, said: "Past research has shown that eating dark chocolate might go some way to reducing your stroke risk if it is eaten as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
"This study suggests that eating a moderate amount of other types of chocolate could also be beneficial in men.
"However, a lot more research is needed and these results should not be used as an excuse for men to eat chocolate as an alternative to regular exercise or eating a healthy diet to reduce their risk of stroke."
The authors of the study warned of the high sugar and fat content of chocolate.
"It should be consumed in moderation," they said.

All debris thought to be from the plane has so far been found in East Africa.
But some relatives say there has been no systematic search for further wreckage and that some possible findings appear to have gone ignored.
The plane disappeared on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.
Malaysia is in charge of co-ordinating collection of any suspected debris, most of which has been sent to Australia for examination.
So far, six pieces have been found that are considered certain or highly likely to have come from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.
The relatives will make the trip to Madagascar from 3-11 December, said a statement posted on Facebook by the group Voice 370.
The group have "no other choice except to take it upon ourselves to do something to find answers and closure," it said.
Campaigner Grace Subathirai Nathan, whose mother was on the plane, told the Associated Press news agency that she would be making the self-funded journey with six other MH370 relatives - three from Malaysia, two from China and one from France.
Responding to criticism of delays in retrieving suspected debris in September, the Malaysian authorities said they were acting on possible discoveries and that everyone should "allow the experts to conduct the verification processes".
There were 239 people on board the missing jet, which is thought to have likely crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.
An Australian-led search in the area has yet to find any trace of the plane and is due to be suspended early next year unless it makes a significant new discovery.
The five-time world champion restricted the Australian to 80 points in the entire match with a superb performance that featured a top break of 118.

The Red List, drawn up by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), has declared the subspecies extinct.
A subspecies of white rhino in central Africa is also listed as possibly extinct, the organisation says.
The annual update of the Red List now records more threatened species than ever before.
The IUCN reports that despite conservation efforts, 25% of the world's mammals are at risk of extinction. As part of its latest work it has reassessed several rhinoceros groups.
As well as declaring the western black rhino (Diceros bicornis longipes) extinct, it records the northern white rhino (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), a subspecies in central Africa, as being on the brink of extinction.
The last Javan rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus) outside Java is also believed to have disappeared.
Overall numbers of black and white rhinos have been rising, but some subspecies have been particularly vulnerable to poaching by criminal gangs who want to trade the animals' valuable horns.
Simon Stuart, chair of the IUCN Species Survival Commission, told BBC News: "They had the misfortune of occurring in places where we simply weren't able to get the necessary security in place.
"You've got to imagine an animal walking around with a gold horn; that's what you're looking at, that's the value and that's why you need incredibly high security."
Another focus for this year's list is Madagascar and its reptiles. The report found that 40% of terrestrial reptiles are threatened. But it also says that new areas have been designated for conservation.
That will help protect endangered species including Tarzan's chameleon (Calumma tarzan) and the limbless skink (Paracontias fasika).
Among the success stories identified in the latest annual update is the reintroduction of the Przewalski's horse (Equus ferus). Listed extinct in the wild in 1996, it was brought back after a captive breeding programme and the wild population is now thought to exceed 300.
Among the partner organisations involved in compiling the research for the list is the Zoological Society of London (ZSL).
ZSL's Dr Monika Boehm said: "This Red List update very much shows us a mixed picture of what's happening to the world's species. There's some good news and some bad news.
"Unfortunately, the overall trend is still a decline in biodiversity. We still haven't achieved our conservation potential."
Ex-Saracens and Cardiff Blues centre Shanklin believes another leading player could miss out under selection rules for players based outside Wales.
In November Rhys Priestland lost out to Taulupe Faletau, George North and Jamie Roberts over Wales' rules.
"Someone else will potentially lose out," said Shanklin.
Under Wales' selection rules, only three players based outside the country can be picked.
Williams, 25, will join the English and European champions from Scarlets on a three-year deal starting in 2017-18.
Shanklin, who won 2005 and 2008 Grand Slams with Wales, added: "Something will have to give.
"I suppose it's whether that law is abided by or not. He will definitely be one of [the wildcard picks].
"He has to be one of them, especially if Wales are in this transformation period where they're trying to play a different brand of rugby because he is key to that.
"If he plays at 15, because I think he can make more of an impact on the game there, Wales can play differently.
"All of a sudden you open up an off-loading game, a more open, attacking threat and the Welsh team become more attack-focused."
Shanklin's former Wales captain Michael Owen - also an ex-Saracen - believes Williams will improve because of the move to the Premiership team, who are reigning European Champions.
"In many ways he will benefit from the move as a person and as a rugby player," Owen told BBC Radio Wales.
"Going back to the Wales squad, he would probably mature.
"He will probably become a better player from being exposed to different coaches and methods, so it will benefit Welsh rugby as well."
And Williams' former Scarlets team-mate Rhys Priestland says Saracens' new recruit will make them stronger.
"It's a fantastic move. He's certainly one of the best players in Europe," Priestland told BBC Radio Wales.
"I spoke to him about it and just gave him my opinion on the league.
"He's going to add a hell of a lot to their squad and he's going to make them an even stronger team."
The Welsh Rugby Union said it had made "the best offer" it could to ensure Williams stayed in Wales.
The visitors were 18-0 up at the break with Nick Tompins and Matt Gallagher going over.
Morgan Allen struck back for the hosts, but Mike Ellery's touchdown kept the hosts at bay.
Billy McBryde came on to score as Scarlets again threatened, but Tom Whiteley sealed the bonus point with Saracens' fourth try.
Saracens rose to the top of Pool One while Scarlets remained third in Pool Four.
Scarlets: Dion Jones; Tom Williams, Steff Hughes, Gareth Owen, Corey Baldwin; Jack Maynard, Declan Smith; Dylan Evans, Emyr Phillips (capt), Nicky Thomas, Josh Helps, Rynier Bernardo, Jack Condy, Josh Macleod, Morgan Allen
Replacements: Torin Myhill, Gethin Robinson, Peter Edwards, Phil Day, Tom Phillips, Connor Lloyd, Billy McBryde, Richard Smith.
Saracens: Matt Gallagher; Mike Ellery, Tim Streather (capt), Nick Tompkins, Rotimi Segun; Max Malins, Henry Taylor; Titi Lamositele, Scott Spurling, Petrus Du Plessis, Nick Isiekwe, Mark Flanagan, Joel Conlon, Will Fraser, Samu Vunisa.
Replacements: Jared Saunders, Jack Culverhouse, Billy Walker, Kyle Baillie, Ben Earl, Neil De Kock, Tom Whiteley, Dominic Morris.
The visitors led 17-6 at the break, with Niall Annett and Dean Hammond crossing for tries, while George Ford kicked two penalties in response.
Tries from Anthony Watson, Matt Banahan, Semesa Rokoduguni carried the hosts into a 30-17 lead before Perry Humphreys went over for Worcester.
Houston try sealed Bath's bonus-point win to put them top of the table.
Bath, already struggling with injuries to Taulupe Faletau and David Denton, lost David Sisi early on in a first half when they failed to contain a industrious Worcester side.
While the hosts, who had beaten the Warriors on 11 previous visits to The Rec, struggled to create openings before the break, they were hard to stop in the second half as England international Watson, in his first match of the season, went in for their opening try.
Banahan did well to gather a Ford kick to help put the hosts ahead for the first time, before linking up with Rokoduguni as the winger added a third.
Humphreys gave Worcester renewed hope, but Rokoduguni went close again before Houston completed the win.
Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder: "I knew there was no better way to get Leroy engaged than just go out there and play and enjoy himself.
"We were certainly put under the pump.
"Worcester were outstanding in that first half. We let them play around us too easily but we'll take a lot out of that.
"It wasn't a rant and a rave at half-time, just about simple things to put our game right - to carry hard and have really good clean-outs and quick ball."
Worcester head coach Carl Hogg: "I thought in the first half we were excellent.
"Ball in hand, we showed real enterprise and caused Bath some issues defensively.
"The game obviously swung on a 10-minute window in the second half when we made back-to-back errors and someone of George Ford's quality exploited it.
"In the second half we didn't get so many opportunities. I think we did enough to get something out of the game."
Bath: Homer; Rokoduguni, Banahan, Bowden, Watson; Ford (capt), Fotulai'i; Auterac, Batty, Thomas, Charteris, Attwood, Ewels, Sisi, Houston.
Replacements: Dunn, Catt, Palma-Newport, Stooke, Mercer, Homer, Brew, Williams.
Worcester: Shillcock; Hammond, Olivier, Willison, Humphreys; Heathcote, Arr; Ruskin, Annett, Johnston, O'Callaghan, Barry, Mama, Kirwan, Dowson (capt).
Replacements: Bregvadze, Leleimalefaga, Daniels, Scotland-Williamson, Cavubati, Baldwin, Eden, Adams.
Within 60 seconds of walking through Duncansfield's creaking main gate, the first piece of eavesdropped chatter delivered a chastening reminder of part-time football.
Apart from five hastily arranged pieces of garden furniture, seating arrangements at this ground in Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire, were unashamedly all-standing.
A rickety, yet pure place playing host to Harestanes v Girvan by default.
The Kirkintilloch amateur side - the first ever to enter the Scottish Cup by way of being Scottish Amateur Cup champions - had hoped to play out their piece of history on their own Merkland patch.
But the Scottish Football Association did not deem that "field of dreams" (as Harestanes chairman Jim McKinney likes to call it) suitable to hold this first preliminary round tie.
So Duncansfield it was and, while a squad of Harestanes players frantically retreated to the spartan dressing-rooms to de-sock and the Girvan secretary searched for the bus driver who had gone walkabout, another piece of amateur football gold emerged.
Having to be dusted down to play in goal for this momentous fixture was Harestanes' third-choice keeper, no less.
"Let's just say I'm approaching 40," said 38-year-old Scott McNab, who looked quite the opposite of a relic as he went through a series of pre-match shot-stopping drills.
"I only really help the team out now and again when they're struggling for a goalie."
Surely 'The Hares' first and second choice men between the sticks could have picked better days be absent?
But McNab - Harestanes born and bred - explained how Conor O'Boyle had left to join League Two club Queen's Park. His replacement, who McNab only knows as "Jamie, I think", was away because he was an usher at his brother's wedding.
"I'll either be in the headlines for making wonder saves or for being an absolute old codger," he grinned, before giving more solid foundations to his credentials.
"I played in this team when we won the Scottish Amateur Cup two years in a row a long time ago, so they're a team close to my heart. I'll settle for a win today and then I can bow out undefeated in the senior Scottish Cup!"
Among the 300 or so crowd gathered to watch how McNab would fare were two fans with backgrounds that were poles apart.
Standing on the Duncansfield perimeter's second-top step was Tam Cobain, a Harestanes follower of 30-plus years and whose son was a successful player there.
Yet, three steps closer to the pitch-side, 10 yards diagonally in front, was Douglas Gillies who had travelled 204 miles from Shipley in West Yorkshire simply to witness this game.
"I used to follow Leeds United in the glory days, but I got fed up with the sheer pricing people out of football," said the friendly gentleman from the White Rose part of the UK.
"People are so friendly here and we always enjoy coming up. Ideally, I'd like a 5-5 draw here so I can go to the replay at Girvan next week."
By half-time, Douglas had seen one of those 10 goals he anticipated. A stellar goalkeeping performance from the aforementioned McNab could not prevent Ayrshire District League outfit Girvan leading 1-0 at the break.
The slightly harsh analysis from Harestanes secretary Paul McKinney (brother of chairman Jim) was that his team "needed a rocket up their backsides."
He managed to sprinkle his own dry-wit on proceedings.
The co-founder of Harestanes initially took great satisfaction in the fact that one lad who had gone away to retrieve a ball kicked out the ground "still wasn't back after 25 minutes".
A female Girvan fan with red slip-on shoes was his next target. McKinney peppered her with "Dorothy" [from The Wizard of Oz] jibes any time she cheered on the Seasiders. His jokes were received in the light-hearted manner they were delivered.
And, in hindsight, the slightly large supporter wearing a t-shirt with the slogan: "Fat people are harder to kidnap", probably got off rather lightly.
For McKinney, all that good-natured humour softened the eventual result of Harestanes 0-3 Girvan on Saturday.
Another Paul, The Hares' manager Paul Marshall, offered his thoughts.
"I don't think 3-0 was a fair reflection of the game as we played some really nice stuff," he said. "We were in this to win, but this competition was a bonus for us."
Yes, a memorable bonus for the Kirkintilloch men who will now try to retain the Scottish Amateur Cup so that another stab at the big-time comes around in the 2016-17 season.
As for those rascal Girvan training cones, they weren't even on the bus. They were hidden under a bench in the dressing room.
Growth was 3.3% in the second quarter, compared to the previous three months. Analysts had forecast growth of 1.7%.
Thailand has taken various measures to boost domestic demand to help recover from last year's devastating floods.
Analysts said the steps had helped offset a decline in global demand for exports.
"Thailand is one of the more resilient economies compared with its Asian peers with regards to the risk and headwinds from the US and Europe," Philip Wee of DBS bank told the BBC's Asia Business Report.
Compared with the same period last year, the economy grew by 4.2%.
Thailand was hit by some of the worst flooding in decades late last year. This led to various factories being shut and production suspended, which in turn hit the country's exports and manufacturing sector.
The government has announced plans to spend 2tn Thai baht ($63.4bn; £40bn) on infrastructure projects in an attempt to prevent such disasters and also to boost growth.
At the same time, it has also pledged to raise minimum wages in the country.
Analysts said that while these steps were likely to contribute further to growth, Thailand needed to be careful that such measures did not increase both debt and consumer prices rapidly.
They said that if not checked, such developments may prove to be detrimental to growth.
"We have seen in other countries in Asia... if they embark on domestic demand driven growth, they have to watch for risk in terms of whether this growth is driven by twin deficits and does this lead to inflation," Mr Wee said.
"If it does, then it becomes unsustainable."
The English pair defeated the Scots, appearing in their fourth final in five years, 5-12 15-5 2-1.
It was the second year in a row that the Commonwealth Games gold medallists have lost in the World Indoor final.
Paxton told the BBC: "It is the first final for myself and, to win at the first attempt, you can't get better."
World number one Foster and Marshall, ranked four, were in imperious form as they dominated the opening set.
But the English pair - Paxton is the world number two and his partner 15th - never lost control of the second set after scoring a three in the opening end.
With the Scots under pressure, Paxton and Skelton scored further threes in the fifth and eighth ends before eventually clinching it emphatically 15-5.
A superb final bowl from Marshall won the Scots the opening end of the tie break.
However, Paxton was in excellent form as he and his partner took the next two ends to secure the title.
Skelton said: "Obviously Paul is the hardest lead to play against and I was struggling a bit, but Robert played superbly well and deserves the title for the way he played."
Foster, who reached the mixed pairs final with Welsh partner Laura Daniels on Sunday, paid tribute to the winning pair.
"In the second set, they played superbly well," he said.
Marshall, who also lost to Paxton in the mixed pairs semi-finals, thought he had let down his partner.
"Credit to Simon and Robert, they played brilliantly, but I feel sorry for the big man as I did not give him much help," he said.
The entertainment company later allowed a theatrical and online release of the movie at Christmas, which took $15m (£9.6m) and was downloaded more than two million times in its first few days.
The initial hack, which exposed embarrassing emails and personal details about some of the world's biggest movie stars, escalated after the supposed hackers made threats against cinemas showing the film.
It has turned into one of the most difficult and damaging episodes in recent Hollywood history. Here, we examine the complicated catalogue of events.
How did it start?
On November 22, there were signs that Sony's computer system had been compromised when skulls appeared on employees' screens with a message threatening to expose "secrets" from data obtained in a sophisticated hack.
This initially caused crippling computer problems for workers at Sony, who were forced to work with pen and paper. "We even fired up our fax machine," one employee told the LA Times.
Sony initially said they were dealing with an "IT matter", but later acknowledged the hack to staff, calling it a "brazen attack" comprised of "malicious criminal acts".
Who is responsible?
A unknown group calling itself #GOP - later identified as Guardians of Peace - claimed it was behind the cyber attack, prompting the FBI to launch an investigation. Their name has been attached to subsequent leaks of information.
Speculation has since mounted that North Korea may have had a hand in the attack as a form of retaliation for Sony's release of The Interview.
A North Korean foreign ministry spokesman called the movie an "act of terrorism" in June, promising "merciless" retaliation if it was released.
The country eventually denied involvement, but heaped praise on the hack, calling it a "righteous deed". The secretive nation's ability to wage cyber warfare is not unknown, but it has not previously used the name Guardians of Peace.
News network Bloomberg has reported that the perpetrators worked from a hotel in Thailand, while unnamed Sony executives told TMZ the hackers were helped by insiders who knew where the most embarrassing information could be found. US media quoted anonymous officials as saying that the FBI had linked North Korea to the attacks.
Why was the release of The Interview pulled?
The fallout from the hack escalated after the "Guardians of Peace" claimed they would attack cinemas showing the Sony film. They alluded to 9/11 in their message and said it was a response to the "greed of Sony Pictures".
The film's New York premiere was cancelled and cinema chains cancelled screenings, leading Sony to announce that it had "decided not to move forward with the planned December 25 theatrical release".
However the decision has been greeted with incredulity by some in Hollywood.
"Wow. Everyone caved," actor Rob Lowe wrote on Twitter. "The hackers won. An utter and complete victory for them. Wow."
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel tweeted that the decision by theatres to refuse to show the film was "an un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent."
On 23 December, Sony announced that the film would have a limited theatrical release and be made available for download.
What did the hackers steal?
Before the controversy around The Interview, reams of data considered confidential by Sony - and some of the company's prime assets - were stolen in the hack.
An early version of a script for the next James Bond movie, Spectre, was leaked but failed to halt production.
Five Sony films, including the new and unreleased version of Annie, turned up on illegal file-sharing sites and were downloaded up to a million times. Brad Pitt's Fury, which had already hit cinema screens, was also shared.
What information has been revealed?
A whole host of Sony's private company information has apparently been exposed to the public, including bosses' salaries and employees' social security information.
Strings of confidential emails between Sony workers have also been circulated and proved to be the most sensitive and embarrassing leaks.
The emails revealed that:
Sony has contacted some media outlets asking them to exercise caution over the leaked material they report on.
How did Hollywood respond?
A-listers at the heart of the revelations have maintained a dignified silence.
But screenwriter and producer Aaron Sorkin wrote in the New York Times of his anger at the hack, accusing the media of aiding and abetting the cyber criminals by sifting through the leaked information and reporting the most salacious findings. He hit out at Hollywood for doing little to protect the dignity of Sony employees, whose personal data has been stolen.
James Franco and Seth Rogen, stars of The Interview, have also commented publicly on the hack, using colourful language on US "shock jock" Howard Stern's show to refer to the "stolen information", adding that its circulation is "doing exactly what these criminals want".
When Sony relented and released the film, Rogen, who also wrote and directed The Interview, said: "I'm so grateful that the movie found its way into theatres, and I'm thrilled that people actually went out and saw it."
That means what is going on? - if your Jamaican Patois is not up to much.
In another somewhat awkward attempt at the local dialect, the US president exclaimed, "greetings massive!"
That also scored a roar of perhaps slightly nervous laughter from the audience, as he made the address on Thursday.
Mr Obama is the first US president to visit Jamaica in more than 30 years.
He is there on a three-day trip, which will also take in Panama, to meet representatives of the 15 countries in the Caribbean Community group to discuss energy and security issues.
As well as a speech there was also a tour of the Bob Marley museum.
To the music of the late reggae star's One Love, Mr Obama was shown around Mr Marley's final home in Kingston, where he lived from 1975 to 1981.
The US president said he was a fan of the singer, and told his guide: "I still have all the albums."
His arrival aboard Air Force One on Wednesday made him the first sitting US president to set foot in Jamaica since Ronald Reagan visited 33 years ago.
He was greeted by Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller and the US Ambassador to Jamaica, Luis Moreno.
Jamaican Patois was a language developed in the 17th century with West African and English influences.
It is also called Jamaican Creole by linguists.

Gregg, 84, survived the 1958 Munich air crash which killed 23 people, including eight of his United team-mates.
"When the story broke I asked my wife if I could sit alone in the television room as I did not want anyone with me," said the Northern Irishman.
"I didn't know what way to react. It's very, very difficult to describe."
Speaking to his own charitable foundation's Facebook page, Gregg revealed that he had been contacted by a grieving Brazilian journalist following following Monday's tragedy in Colombia which killed 71 people including 19 players from the Chapecoense club on the way to play in the final of one of South America's major competitions.
"At Munich, I lost my friends and fellow players but there were others on board including one of the country's greatest journalists at the time," added Gregg.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"When I told this Brazilian man this he said to me, 'Harry Gregg, I am so glad that you remembered everyone who died on the plane because I lost three friends on that aircraft who were sports journalists'.
"As with Munich the focus might be on the lost players but I told him we should never forget the others who died. I hope that gave this Brazilian journalist some comfort, as he was grieving too."
Gregg stayed with the burning plane in Munich after the air crash and helped to rescue a number of people, including a mother and baby.
Six people - including three players - survived Monday's crash close to the Colombian city of Medellin although goalkeeper Jackson Follmann's right leg has had to be amputated.
Gregg says getting back on to the training field following the accident "stopped me from going insane over what had happened to us all".
A few months after the Munich air disaster, Gregg was named the best goalkeeper in the world in honour of his performances for Northern Ireland at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.
North Wales AM Michelle Brown was recorded using derogatory comments about Labour MP for Streatham, Chuka Umunna, in a call in May 2016 to her then senior adviser Nigel Williams.
Ms Brown said her language was "inappropriate" and has apologised.
Mr Williams, who was her senior adviser for 12 months, was sacked by Ms Brown in May.
Ms Brown, who called Mr Umunna a "coconut", was also recorded using an abusive remark about Tristram Hunt, who was then Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central.
In a statement, Ms Brown said: "The point I was making is that because of his considerable wealth and privilege, Chuka Umunna cannot possibly understand the difficulties and issues that the average black person faces in this country any more than I can, and I stand by that assertion.
"I do however accept that the language I used in the private conversation was inappropriate and I apologise to anyone that has been offended by it.
"As far as the language I used about Mr Hunt is concerned, it was a private conversation and I was using language that friends and colleagues often do when chatting to each other."
An assembly Labour Group spokesman said: "This is absolutely outrageous language and lays bare the disgusting racism at the heart of UKIP.
"Anything less than immediate suspension would be a clear endorsement of Michelle Brown's racist slur."
Ms Brown's comments have been referred to the assembly's standards commissioner.
Mr Williams said he believed Ms Brown should resign from her seat and UKIP's national executive committee should remove her from the party.
"You wouldn't expect anyone to say it, let alone somebody in such a position. It's appalling," he said.
"Michelle Brown is not fit for office saying things like that. UKIP HQ should do the right thing. The party does not want people with views like that in the party. End of."
UKIP AM David Rowlands said he "thought we'd put that racist language behind us as a party".
The regional AM for South Wales East said: "It's an inappropriate comment. It's certainly not the kind of language I'd use.
"I don't know if there's been any provocation but I'm very disappointed that anyone in my party should be using that language.
"However, it does puzzle me that someone can record and release a private call without the knowledge of the other person."
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said: "This racism reflects poorly on our parliament - The National Assembly for Wales - and that's why her party should take action on this.
"No to racism in all its forms. No tolerance on racism in our Assembly."
This is not the first controversy Ms Brown has faced - in February, she was forced to deny claims she had smoked "recreational drugs" in a Cardiff Bay hotel room.
Her spokesman said the smell was caused by the AM smoking a strong tobacco product.
Winnie Birkenhead, from Burnley in Lancashire, came from Malaysia in 1967 on her mother's passport.
But her employers recently received a letter saying her permission to be in the UK had expired.
The Home Office said: "It is down to Ms Birkenhead to regularise her immigration status".
They added they would "consider any application we receive".
Ms Birkenhead, who is a care worker, assumed she had become a British citizen along with her mother a year after moving to the UK.
"I've got a driving licence, I've got an NHS number - why was nothing picked up then? Why wasn't I told earlier and I would have done something about it."
She added: "I've paid my way in this country and my life is here, everything is here and I just can't understand why all this has happened. It frightens me to death that somebody could come and knock on my door and take me away."
Ms Birkenhead has been told she now has to apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK - a process that could take between six months and a year.
She has also been warned she may not be able to work in the meantime.
She is now gathering evidence for the authorities to prove she has lived in the UK for 47 years and said the response from friends and strangers was "so supportive".
Global Equipment Spares (GES) is spending £1.9m to upgrade its facility and purchase new machinery.
The firm, which is based at the city's Campsie Industrial Estate, hopes to more than double its workforce during the next three years.
GES makes high strength steels for the global mining, construction and agricultural industry.
The move would help GES grow their exports "particularly into North America", said Invest NI, which is offering £396,000 in grants.
John McClenaghan, Managing Director of GES, said: "This expansion is part of a strategy to grow sales and increase both our workforce and our product offering to meet identified opportunities within new and existing markets.
"We have set ourselves a challenging target for new export business and will be focused on leveraging our reputation in the industry to secure new customers," Mr McClenaghan said.
"Invest NI's support is allowing us to fully implement our growth plans and create valuable employment opportunities across a range of disciplines in the North West."
GES customers include major materials handling businesses Terex, Telestack, Sandvik and McCloskey International.
The new jobs will range from manufacturing roles to procurement and sales positions.
Sharapova plays Italy's Roberta Vinci in the first round of the Porsche Grand Prix in Stuttgart on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old's wildcard entry has already been called "disrespectful" by ex-world number one Caroline Wozniacki.
"I don't agree about the wildcard here and about the wildcard in Rome and the other tournaments," said Vinci, 34.
Sharapova was given a two-year ban last year, backdated to 26 January 2016, after testing positive for heart disease drug meldonium at the Australian Open.
Her suspension was reduced to 15 months in October, following her appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Sharapova will also receive wildcards for upcoming tournaments in Madrid and Rome.
World number 36 Vinci added: "She made her mistakes for sure, but she paid and I think she can return to play - but without any wildcards."
Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who could meet Sharapova in the second round in Stuttgart, has also been among those to question the treatment of the former world number one, saying she should not be invited to Grand Slams.
Those views were met with a scathing response by Sharapova's agent Max Eisenbud, who labelled Radwanska, 28, and 26-year-old Wozniacki of Denmark "journeyman" rivals who wanted to prevent the Russian playing at next month's French Open because it is their "last chance to win a Slam".
Sharapova, twice a winner at the French Open, is unranked and will require a wildcard to compete at Roland Garros when the tournament starts next month, with France's tennis federation yet to announce its decision.
Being active is known to be beneficial but US researchers, writing in the journal Cancer, said they had found many women did too little.
Only a third met recommended activity levels.
UK breast cancer groups said women here also needed more support to keep active after having the disease.
The American study looked at the pre and post-diagnosis exercise levels of 1,735 women aged 20-74 who had breast cancer between 2008 and 2011 in North Carolina.
In the US and the UK, adults are recommended to do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity each week.
But this study found only 35% of women who had experienced breast cancer met the physical activity guidelines.
In the UK, campaigners said women here also needed to exercise more.
Caroline Dalton, of Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: "Physical activity after a breast cancer diagnosis has been shown to improve a patient's chances of survival and there is also some evidence that it may help to reduce the risk of breast cancer returning.
"Keeping active may also help patients cope, both during and after treatment, by improving general health and wellbeing."
She added: "Although this study was conducted in America rather than the UK, the results suggest that women who have received a breast cancer diagnosis need better support to keep active."
"There are no specific guidelines in place at the moment to tell us precisely how much physical activity is needed after a breast cancer diagnosis, but Breakthrough Breast Cancer suggests aiming for 3.5 hours per week, after checking with your treatment team to see what is appropriate for you."
Baroness Delyth Morgan, chief executive at Breast Cancer Campaign, said: "This study serves as a reminder of how important it is that women with breast cancer are made aware that physical activity can improve their chances of survival.
"Recent research has shown that even small increases to the amount of exercise done after a breast cancer diagnosis can give women a better chance of survival.
"This is why it is essential that women are given a clear written follow-up care plan, which should include practical advice about diet and exercise."
Rezaian, 39, was jailed on charges, including espionage, last November.
The United States said it was offering clemency to seven Iranians being held in the US for sanctions violation.
On Saturday evening, after talks in Vienna, international sanctions on Iran were lifted as part of the nuclear deal agreed last year.
The lifting of the sanctions was announced by EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.
Three of the US citizens - Rezaian, Saeed Abedini and Amir Hekmati - were released from prison on Saturday and were flown to Switzerland then to Germany on Sunday. They were expected to receive medical treatment at a US base there.
A fourth, Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari, did not fly with them, US officials said.
The four prisoners are all dual US-Iran citizens.
Jason Rezaian: aged 39, Tehran correspondent for the Washington Post. Detained in Iran for more than a year before his sentencing last November.
Saeed Abedini: aged 35, a Christian pastor who had been imprisoned since July 2012 for organising churches in people's houses.
Amir Hekmati: aged 32, former Marine who spent more than four years in prison on spying charges following his arrest in August 2011 during a visit to see his grandmother.
Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari: Little is known about the fourth US citizen.
Of the seven Iranian citizens being released, six are also citizens of the US. The Iranian state news agency listed them as: Nader Modanlo, Bahram Mechanic, Khosrow Afghani, Arash Ghahreman, Tooraj Faridi, Nima Golestaneh and Ali Saboun.
They are all accused or convicted of violating US sanctions on Iran.
A US official said a diplomatic channel was established "with the focus of getting our detained US citizens home".
"Iran has also committed to continue co-operating with the United States to determine the whereabouts of Robert Levinson," the official said.
According to the Associated Press news agency, Mr Levinson is a former FBI agent who disappeared in Iran in 2007 while working for the CIA on an unapproved intelligence mission.
A further 14 Iranians sought by the US would be removed from an Interpol wanted list, the US and Iran said.
A fifth American, writer and student Matthew Trevithick, was also released from jail in Iran on Saturday, but his release was not part of the prisoner exchange.
His family said in a statement published on the Iran Primer website that he had been held at Evin prison in Tehran for 40 days. He had been studying languages in Iran, they said.
For months after his arrest in 2014, there was uncertainty over what accusations Jason Rezaian was facing. He was held in the notorious Evin prison before finally being found guilty on charges that his lawyer said included espionage.
His newspaper vigorously denied this. President Barack Obama said he would not rest until he was freed. Now, his release has been announced in what Iran calls a prisoner swap - an indication he might have been used as a bargaining chip.
His release removes a shadow that had lain over relations between Tehran and Washington even as they were thawing with the nuclear deal.
Jason Rezaian - Now a free man
The media freedom organisation Reporters Without Borders welcomed Rezaian's release, saying he "was just doing his job as a reporter and was unlucky enough to have dual US and Iranian nationality at a time when the two countries were conducting tense negotiations about Iran's nuclear programme".
"We are thrilled to see Jason finally free, but he should have never been imprisoned in the first place. Jason was innocent. It is outrageous that he has been used as a bargaining chip," said Christophe Deloire, the organisation's secretary general.
An Abuja high court on Thursday ordered the release of Nnamdi Kanu, which prompted celebrations on the streets.
The police in Onitsha city said shots were fired after officers were attacked and three people were "feared dead".
Mr Kanu was arrested by the authorities in October, accused of treason.
He is the director of the banned Radio Biafra and heads the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group.
Biafran secessionists fought a three-year civil war in which more than one million people lost their lives. The uprising was eventually quelled by the military in 1970.
The court order to free Mr Kanu came after Nigeria's secret police withdrew criminal charges against him. It is not clear what these were, but may have been related to running a radio station without a licence.
But he has not been released from detention as the police say they are still investigating his alleged involvement in terrorist activities.
The clashes in Onitsha were prompted by "overzealous police officers firing at unarmed civilians who were celebrating a court victory", IPOB co-ordinator Uchemna Madu told the BBC Hausa service.
Fifteen other people were seriously wounded, he said.
A police spokesman said the shots were fired after the protesters attacked the security forces.
"One military officer was severely injured and had his rifle damaged," Okwechuku Allie said.
Since Mr Kanu's arrest, young people, mainly from his ethnic Igbos, have been protesting in south-east Nigeria and the oil-rich Delta region.
They belong to secessionist groups like IPOB and the Movement for the Actualisation of a Sovereign State of Biafra (Massob) and feel they have been discriminated against by those in power.
The Nigerian authorities have always maintained that most of the issues the Biafra activists are complaining about are not unique to southern part of the country.
The attack happened in the municipality of Catatumbo, in northern Colombia.
A river was contaminated by oil that spilled out of the pipeline and the water supply had to be cut, the local authorities said.
Attacks on infrastructure have increased since the Farc suspended its unilateral ceasefire on 22 May.
In an unrelated incident, four military personnel were killed when they stepped on landmines in the southern region of Caqueta. Four others were injured.
The area had been mined by the Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), the military said.
The left-wing group has been engaged in peace talks with government negotiators since November 2012, aimed at ending more than 50 years of conflict.
There has been agreement on several points and the negotiations continue to be held in the Cuban capital, Havana.
But there's been an escalation in violence and an increase in attacks against security forces since the end of the ceasefire, says the BBC's Natalio Cosoy in Bogota.
The Farc, which had declared a unilateral ceasefire in December, ambushed and killed 11 soldiers in May.
President Juan Manuel Santos responded by ordering the resumption of bombing raids on rebel positions.
Last week the Farc brought down an electricity pylon in Caqueta and cut off power to almost half a million people, according to the military.
The man, 70, died after leaving the Nada Residential and Nursing Home in Cheetham Hill, Manchester in February.
Police are looking into safeguarding issues at the home as the victim was subject to a safeguarding order and should not have been unsupervised.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has since found the home to be "unsafe".
The victim was struck by a lorry less than 1,200ft (365m) from the home on Cheetham Hill Road.
A man was arrested at the time on suspicion of causing death by careless driving.
Greater Manchester Police said the care home was "fully co-operating" with inquiries into the man's death.
The privately-owned facility is registered to provide care for up to 28 people who may have a combination of mental health and personal care needs.
The CQC said the "serious safeguarding incident" raised concerns about the risk of residents leaving the home, particularly those who should not have been allowed out unaccompanied.
An unannounced inspection on 8 March rated the care home, which was already in special measures, inadequate and in breach of three health and social care regulations regarding safety, safeguarding and governance.
The CQC said there was a lack of guidance for staff in care plans, risk assessments and contingency plans if a person did not return home at the agreed time, as well as people not being shown the safest way to cross the road.
Nada manager Pierre Grenade said staff at the home were devastated by the man's death.
"We loved the man who died. I cried my eyes out," he said.
He added that measures were being taken to prevent a recurrence and staff were working "very closely" with the CQC to improve care.
The lovelorn ballad only reached number 108, but it set the "dirt poor" Tennessee singer on the path to fame.
Since then, she's sold more than 100 million albums, topped the country chart 25 times, and won eight Grammy Awards - but she shows no signs of slowing down.
"Almost every day I come up with a few song titles or a sweet melody," says the 70-year-old, who claims to have written more than 3,000 songs in her career.
Her latest album, Pure & Simple, came out on Friday, featuring new songs with stripped-down arrangements that recall the early days of her career.
It has an overwhelmingly romantic theme, inspired by renewing her wedding vows earlier this year. And just like her chart career, her marriage to Carl Dean turned 50 this year.
"I thought, well, this would be a good year to write an album of love songs," she says. "I've never done that before. I've usually had a story song or a gospel song, but this was all love stories."
The BBC caught up with the star to discuss the new record, her legendary Glastonbury set, and why she admires Adele.
First of all, congratulations on celebrating your golden wedding anniversary!
Thank you so much. That's a long time to do anything, ain't it? Especially to be married.
What's the secret?
We've always been good buddies. We have a lot of fun and a lot of respect for one another. It was his first marriage and mine and we never thought we'd ever want to do that again. Why bother?
You renewed your vows earlier this year. What was that like?
That was sweet. There was no pressure at all. We had our own little ceremony in a little chapel on our property, then we went in our little RV down to Ringgold, Georgia, and spent the night where we had married 50 years before. We took some beautiful pictures and got all dressed up. It was fun really.
Did you wear your original wedding dress? Could you still fit into it?
Well, I could but I don't know where it is now! I only had a simple little white dress that my mother had made for me for that wedding, but I had always wanted a beautiful, long, beaded wedding gown, so I dressed completely to the nines. I made a right nice bride!
That sense of romance permeates your new album.
Oh yes! In fact a lot of the songs were written just because of that.
You've written so many love songs over the years - how do you find new ways to talk about it?
Love is always growing, and we grow as people as well, so you just automatically take on new twists and turns. And it's amazing. I've always been amazed by that myself, how people can just write, year in and year out, about love and it all is different. I could write one right now!
How often do you write?
I write something almost every single day unless I'm sick or on a movie set.
Is that ever an inconvenience? Do you ever find yourself going, "I don't have time to write a song right now, I need to finish this casserole?"
Well, no! In fact, I write a lot when I cook. If my cooking's really good that day, my songs are really good.
In Head Over High Heels, you sing about "painting my eyes like Adele." What made you write about her?
Everyone loves Adele. With all my little nieces, it's all "Adele this" and "Adele that!" And I love how she does her make-up, and so I'm always saying to my little nieces, "can you fix my eyes like Adele?"
When I started that song, I had not planned to write that line. I was just thinking, "This needs to be about a girl dressing up sexy, so she's got to have some make-up, and she's got to paint her eyes". And all of a sudden it's like, "And my eyes like Adele!"
What do you think her reaction will be?
I think she'll have to be complimented, just like I'm always complimented when people write songs about me!
I just meant I wanted to look like Adele. I hope she thinks it's cute.
You both like to talk to your audience in between songs, but she swears a lot more than you… I wondered what you made of that?
Oh, I don't pay any attention to that! Words are just an exchange, like money. I don't think the Lord holds that against us. I think that's just the way we communicate. And some people are just born cussers.
What's the worst thing you've ever said on stage?
Oh, I've never said anything real bad. I try to respect the audience.
The song I'm 16 is based on one of your sisters, is that right?
Yeah, she had a couple of bad relationships and she thought it wasn't meant for her to have true love. Then all of a sudden, in her 60s, she met someone and they fell in love, and it's just like they were born again. It's just the sweetest thing.
Another one of my sisters and I were laughing. We said, "Look at her, she thinks she's 16!" and all of a sudden I heard the song in my head.
Goes to show you're never old unless you choose to be.
What age do you think of yourself as?
I'm 16 in some ways. I'm still a hopeless romantic! But I'm 35 in my spirit and in my mind. When I was 35, it was a pinnacle, a great time in my life - success and happiness and all that. And so I just decided "I'm gonna claim that number and always be that in my state of mind."
What inspired Can't Be That Wrong?
That was an easy one to write. I think it's the ultimate cheating song.
I based it on someone very, very close to me, who was very much in love with the person at home, and their children, and they weren't looking for love, they just happened to fall for someone. They were so torn, because they loved both people. I saw the turmoil and the heartache, and how overwhelming and overpowering it was. And I just thought, "That's a strong-ass love, right there". You know, to be willing to go through all you have to, and put the other people through that. So I thought, "wow, this would make a great song."
The last time I saw you on stage in the UK was at Glastonbury - and you've put that concert on this album as a bonus disc. What are your memories of it?
That'll be one of my greatest memories, actually. That'll be a real highlight in my career.
I wasn't even certain about doing that show, because I didn't know if I was the type of artist that would fit in that type of a festival - because people are rowdy, they like to go dancing, and they like to drink and smoke and I thought, "I wonder if they're even going to pay attention?"
And so, as soon as I went out and I saw the crowd and heard the roar, I thought, "Ohhhh, my Lord, how did I miss this all these years?"
They call that part of the day the "legends slot". If you were booking next year's Glastonbury, who would you put in there?
I don't know. I hadn't even thought about it in those terms. Probably Adele.
But I'm not sure I'd do it again, because I don't know how I could ever top that.

The first features players and gun violence victims calling on Americans to back efforts to end shootings.
The advertisements are sponsored by campaigners Everytown for Gun Safety.
Gun control is rarely out of the spotlight in the US with common mass shootings but remains a polarising topic.
President Barack Obama - who told the BBC this year a lack of changes on US gun laws was the "greatest frustration" of his presidency - has expressed support for the campaign.
"I'm proud of the NBA for taking a stand against gun violence," he tweeted. "Sympathy for victims isn't enough - change requires all of us speaking up."
The first television advertisement does not mention the phrase "gun control", nor calls for specific policy changes.
Instead, the stars, such as Chris Paul of the LA Clippers and Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks share personal thoughts on the issue.
"I heard about a shooting of a three-year old girl over the summer, my three-year-old daughter Riley is that age," said another star, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors.
The move has "little precedent in professional sports", according to the New York Times.
It believes the large energy suppliers should have protected themselves from recent rises in wholesale prices by buying gas and electricity in advance.
The warning comes despite new data which shows that supplier's costs were considerably higher at the start of this year compared to a year earlier.
However, those costs are now beginning to fall.
"It's not obvious that there should be significant price increases across the market", said Dermot Nolan, Ofgem's chief executive.
He was speaking as the regulator published a new measure of the cost pressures energy firms can expect in the coming year.
The Supplier Cost Index collates the impact of wholesale prices, network charges and the impact of levies linked to government policies.
The index shows that costs were about 15% higher in January 2017 compared to a year earlier.
Ofgem said that was largely down to rises in wholesale gas and electricity prices.
But Mr Nolan insisted that as a result of how the main suppliers buy gas and electricity - often up to 18 months in advance - the actual impact upon their costs should be much lower.
While a number of suppliers had increased prices of fixed tariffs in recent months, he said that most large suppliers had not increased standard variable tariffs.
"We don't see an obvious reason for price increases", he said.
Ofgem says that even if recent cost increases are sustained that suppliers should do all they can to protect customers from price increases by keeping their own internal costs down.
It warned that firms that did not keep prices down risked losing customers to rivals.
About a million customers switched from large suppliers to smaller rivals between June 2015 and June 2016.
Several of the big suppliers have announced plans to freeze standard energy tariffs this winter.
EDF cut gas prices by 5.2% on 6 January but will raise electricity prices by 8.4% on 1 March.
Mr Nolan said that consumers were more likely to see upward pressure on electricity prices rather than gas.
Ofgem's analysis suggests that of the 15% rise in dual fuel cost index compared to a year ago, electricity accounted for 6% of the rise and gas by 6.6%.
Government levies on electricity bills also accounted for 2.9% of that overall rise.
Consumer group Which? said the Ofgem cost index was "a step in the right direction".
Which? campaigns director Vickie Sheriff said the index would "introduce more transparency and help to understand what factors [have an] impact [on] people's bills."
"We expect to see Ofgem use this index to monitor suppliers and hold them to account to help protect customers from paying more than they need to for their energy," she added.
Albertina Choules, 81, known as Tina, died at her home in Ragmans Lane, Marlow, just after 06:30 BST on Wednesday.
A man arrested on suspicion of murder remains in police custody.
Thames Valley Police officers are expected to remain at the scene for several days.
The force said an officer who was assaulted by a man when he arrived at the property was taken to hospital for treatment but has since been discharged.
Ms Choules's niece, who is her only relative in this country, and some of her close friends told the BBC she had lived at her home for more than 45 years.
They added that she had lived alone since her husband died 2004 but was "completely unafraid of being in such an isolated spot".
Friends have said the woman, who was of Italian descent and had no children, was a "perfectionist who did everything with love" and "believed if a job was worth doing it was worth doing well".
Simone Smith, who lives nearby in Marlow Bottom, said she often waved to Ms Choules and was "shocked and nervous" about what had happened.
"It's terrible, that sort of thing doesn't happen here," she said.
"You just can't tell can you, it's horrible, really horrible."
Neighbour Rona Hyde said: "As a community we are devastated knowing what a good person she was ... open and friendly.
"She was a soulful lady, very spiritual and would make Buddhist stupas (monuments) in the woods."
The "devastated" singer said she had taken the decision on medical advice.
"To say I'm heartbroken would be a complete understatement," London-born Adele wrote in a Twitter post in the early hours.
She had been due to perform at Wembley on Saturday and Sunday, ending a four-date run at the venue.
Six golden moments from Adele's world tour
In her post, the 29-year-old said her first two Wembley shows this week had been "the biggest and best shows of my life", but that she had struggled vocally.
Despite the voice problems, Adele's performances on 28 and 29 June were well-received by critics, with the Guardian describing her as "instinctively charismatic", the Times as "poignant", while the Telegraph wrote: "She is such a natural on stage."
Adele explained: "I had to push a lot harder than I normally do... it turns out I have damaged my vocal cords.
"On medical advice, I am simply unable to perform over the weekend.
"I've considered doing Saturday night's show, but it's highly unlikely I'd even make it through the set and I simply can't crumble in front of you all and walk out on you in that way."
She added that she was so desperate to be with her fans that she had even considered miming at the final two shows.
"But I've never done it and I cannot in a million years do that to you. It wouldn't be the real me up there," Adele said.
"I'm sorry for your disappointment... You know I would not make this decision lightly."
She concluded by saying refunds would be available if the shows could not be rescheduled.
"There will be more information over the next few days. I'm sorry, I'm devastated... please forgive me x."
It is not the first time Adele has experienced problems with her vocal cords. In 2011, she underwent throat surgery to remove a benign polyp.
Wednesday's Adele concert at Wembley was attended by 98,000 fans - a stadium record for a UK music event.
In a message in the programme, the singer indicated her four Wembley shows could be her last ever tour dates.
"I wanted my final shows to be in London because I don't know if I'll ever tour again," she said.
"I've done 119 shows and these last four will take me up to 123, it has been hard but an absolute thrill and pleasure to have done."
When Adele opened her world tour in Belfast in February last year, it was her first UK concert in four-and-a-half years.
Humanitarian adviser Jan Egeland said they might be used to supply food and medicine to the 250,000 people there.
Conditions were now so dire that medical operations were being conducted without anaesthetics, he warned.
Russian-backed Syrian government forces have retaken more than a third of eastern Aleppo since the weekend.
On Thursday, state media reported that the Syrian army had captured the Sakan Shababi and Masaken al-Buthuth al-Ilmiya areas.
But the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said clashes were continuing inside Sakan Shababi and also that rebel fighters had regained part of Sheikh Saad, in the south.
At a news conference in Geneva, the head of the UN's humanitarian task force for Syria said Russia had announced it wanted to "sit down in Aleppo with our people there to discuss how we can use the four corridors to evacuate people".
"We have at least 400 wounded that need immediate medical evacuation," Mr Egeland said, adding that there would also be discussions about using the corridors to "get medical supplies and food in" for the first time since July.
Mr Egeland acknowledged that previous attempts to set up humanitarian corridors had not been successful due to "issues with both sides".
He said Russia had promised to respect the corridors, and that UN officials now felt confident that rebel groups would do the same.
"I think it has dawned upon all sides the urgency of the situation," he said.
Russia unilaterally declared the creation of humanitarian corridors in October to allow civilians and rebel fighters to be evacuated during a three-week pause in air strikes, but the UN was not involved and few people took up the offer to leave.
Without access to the east, UN aid agencies are strengthening their presence in government-controlled western Aleppo, the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva says.
Mr Egeland said the UN has enough food stored in the west to feed 150,000 people in the east, as well as medical supplies to cover their needs.
"It is pre-positioned, we have people there we basically need the access and we're sitting down now to discuss it with Russia and with the government of Syria."
He added that at least 27,000 people had fled the east for government- and Kurdish-controlled areas since the weekend.
They are joining 400,000 long-term displaced people already in the west of the city.
It is likely the UN also wants more of its own staff on the ground as witnesses, amid reports that those fleeing rebel-held areas are being detained, our correspondent adds.
Aleppo was once Syria's largest city and its commercial and industrial hub before the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in 2011.
It has been divided in roughly two for the past four years. But in the past 11 months, Syrian troops have broken the deadlock with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air strikes.
In early September they reinstated a siege of the east, and launched a large-scale offensive to retake full control of the city later that month.
The Syrian Observatory says more than 300 civilians have been killed in rebel-held districts since the offensive was stepped up in mid-November. Another 48 civilians have died as a result of rebel rocket-fire on government-controlled areas, it adds.
Twin brothers Matt and Luke Goss will play London's O2 Arena next August. But original bassist Craig Logan will not take part in the reunion.
"I've always wanted it to happen in my heart," Luke said. "But I wanted it to be the right time."
Bros scored eight top 10 hits between 1987 and 1989 with songs like When Will I Be Famous and I Owe You Nothing.
"I didn't want to resist it any more," Luke told reporters. The pair promised the concert will be "a contemporary show that stands up today".
The band said they have no plans to release new music ahead of the shows. "We're going to honour the songs, some of the key sounds," said Luke.
"But at this stage, I don't want to populate the show with new stuff. If it was to happen again [after that] then maybe so."
Logan quit the group at the height of their fame after suffering ME. He later became a successful music mogul, managing the likes of Sade and Tina Turner and playing a key role in the success of Robbie Williams.
The brothers said he was "welcome" to return. Matt said: "I'm very proud of Craig's success but we started the band in school and Bros is Matt and Luke, without question."
The reunion show will take place on 19 August 2017 - exactly 28 years after the brothers played to 77,000 fans at Wembley Stadium. Tickets go on general sale on Friday.
At the height of "Brosmania", the band sold 17 million records - but their fall from grace was swift.
They split after disappointing sales of their third album, Changing Faces, only to discover they faced debts of up to £500,000.
The brothers refused to declare themselves bankrupt and spent a decade repaying their creditors.
Matt forged a successful career in the United States, with a successful residency in Las Vegas, while Luke became an actor, appearing on TV shows and comic book movies like Hellboy II and Blade II.

The two human cases are linked to nine cases of Mycobacterium bovis infection in cats in Berkshire and Hampshire last year.
Both people were responding to treatment, PHE said.
It said the risk of cat-to-human transmission of M. bovis remained "very low".
M. bovis is the bacterium that causes tuberculosis in cattle, known as bovine TB, and other species.
Transmission of M. bovis from infected animals to humans can occur by breathing in or ingesting bacteria shed by the animal or through contamination of unprotected cuts in the skin while handling infected animals or their carcasses.
The nine cases of M. bovis infection in cats in Berkshire and Hampshire were investigated by PHE and the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) during 2013.
The findings of the investigation are published in the Veterinary Record on Thursday.
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by a germ which usually affects the lungs.
Symptoms can take several months to appear and include
•Fever and night sweats
•Persistent cough
•Losing weight
•Blood in your phlegm or spit
Almost all forms of TB are treatable and curable, but delays in detection and treatment can be damaging.
TB caused by M. bovis is diagnosed in less than 40 people in the UK each year. The majority of these cases are in people over 65 years old.
Overall, human TB caused by M. bovis accounts for less than 1% of the 9,000 TB cases diagnosed in the UK every year.
Those working closely with livestock and/or regularly drinking unpasteurised (raw) milk have a greater risk of exposure.
Public Health England
Screening was offered to people who had had contact with the infected cats. Following further tests, a total of two cases of active TB were identified.
Molecular analysis showed that M. bovis taken from the infected cats matched the strain of TB found in the human cases, indicating that the bacterium was transmitted from an infected cat.
Two cases of latent TB were also identified, meaning they had been exposed to TB at some point, but they did not have the active disease.
PHE said it was not possible to confirm whether these were caused by M. bovis or something else.
No further cases of TB in cats have been reported in Berkshire or Hampshire since March 2013.
Dr Dilys Morgan, head of gastrointestinal, emerging and zoonotic diseases department at PHE, said: "It's important to remember that this was a very unusual cluster of TB in domestic cats.
"M. bovis is still uncommon in cats - it mainly affects livestock animals.
"These are the first documented cases of cat-to-human transmission, and so although PHE has assessed the risk of people catching this infection from infected cats as being very low, we are recommending that household and close contacts of cats with confirmed M. bovis infection should be assessed and receive public health advice."
Out of the nine cats infected, six died and three are currently undergoing treatment.
Prof Noel Smith, head of the bovine TB genotyping group at the AHVLA, said testing of nearby herds had revealed a small number of infected cattle with the same strain of M. bovis as the cats.
However, he said direct contact between the cats and these cattle was unlikely.
"The most likely source of infection is infected wildlife, but cat-to-cat transmission cannot be ruled out."
Cattle herds with confirmed cases of bovine TB in the area have all been placed under movement restrictions to prevent the spread of disease.
Prof Malcolm Bennett, professor of veterinary pathology at the University of Liverpool, said occasional cases of TB in pets have always been seen.
"There seems to be an increase in the number of cases of bovine TB diagnosed in cats in recent years, and the report emphasises both the wide host range of these bacteria and that sharing our lives with other animals, whatever the benefits, carries some small risk.
"However, human infection, feline infection and transmission between the two remain rare," Prof Bennett said.
Prof Bertie Squire, professor of clinical tropical medicine at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, said it was important to put the two unusual cases in perspective.
"In 2012, there were 8,130 cases of human tuberculosis in England. In the same year there were only 26 notified cases of M. bovis in England, so M. bovis accounts for less than 0.5% of all human TB cases in the UK.
"The real problem of TB in the UK is caused by M. tuberculosis which arises in humans and is transmitted from person to person. If we are to control human TB in the UK then we need to focus on identifying and curing the TB that occurs in humans, and we need to do this much better than we do at present.
"The real problem of human TB in the UK has nothing to do with M. bovis in cattle, badgers, or cats." | No wild black rhinos remain in West Africa, according to the latest global assessment of threatened species.

The Humberside Police and Crime Panel had voted against Paul Robinson's appointment at a meeting last week.
It was concerned he would not have time to be able to fulfil both his roles of councillor and deputy commissioner.
Humberside PCC Matthew Grove said he had reflected on the panel's view but decided Mr Robinson was the right person for the £45,000-a-year post.
Mr Robinson is a Conservative councillor for the Howdenshire ward for East Riding of Yorkshire Council and worked closely with Mr Grove during his campaign for election as Humberside PCC.
Mr Grove, who was an East Riding of Yorkshire councillor until his election as PCC, said: "As commissioner I need someone who I have total trust and confidence in and who can fit this profile.
"My judgement is that Paul fits this role and can deliver everything I need to be delivered.
"This appointment represents a significant judgment call for me, and I recognise that the members of the panel had only a 12-page report and a 30-minute questioning session with Paul to base their recommendation on.
"I have seriously considered their views but my judgment is based upon significant knowledge of Paul, my personal experience and honest belief in him."

The 2 Sisters Food Group is proposing to move the retail packing department from its St Merryn operation in south Wales to its site in Cornwall.
"It is the only way our business can survive and prosper for the longer term," a statement from St Merryn said.
The Welsh Government and the local MP are in talks with the company.
St Merryn, which was taken over by 2 Sisters Food Group in 2013, packs steaks and chops at the Merthyr site it has run since 1999.
The Welsh Government and Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney MP Gerald Jones are to work with company directors during a 45-day consultation period.
"In total there are about 1,000 staff at the plant, so we are talking about a third of the workforce," said Mr Jones.
"It's a large well-established employer and this a devastating blow to the local community if this change goes through.
"If you think about Merthyr Tydfil and the wider community, some of the areas of depravation, to lose this amount of jobs would be a huge blow."
The plant received £1.2m of support in May 2010 for processing equipment from the Welsh Government's single investment fund before the operation was taken over by 2 Sisters.
That such a long-established company is set to lose a third of its workforce in Merthyr is a terrible blow for the staff, but it also has a knock-on impact in the wider economy which will affect many others.
The town has had a series of positive announcements recently as its regeneration strategy seemed to be paying dividends.
Two-hundred-and-fifty highly skilled jobs were created by General Dynamics at its tank assembly plant and exhaust maker, Tenneco Walker, took on 200 people.
Trago Mills has also started work on a retail centre that will employ 400 people.
The news of 350 job losses at 2 Sisters is a blow to the progress that was being made.
"The announcement made this afternoon gives significant cause for concern for those staff working in the company's retail packing operation in Merthyr Tydfil," said Economy Secretary Ken Skates.
St Merryn Foods, which currently employs 1,100 staff at the site on Penygarnddu Industrial Estate, confirmed the job losses were part of a "wider strategic review" and could happen as early as January.
"We do not take the decision to launch this review lightly, but it is the only way our business can survive and prosper for the longer term," the statement said.
"Regrettably, the red meat sector in the UK faces many serious challenges including declining markets, falling volumes, higher input costs and a fiercely competitive retail landscape.
"This extremely difficult environment means the packing operation at Merthyr, which includes the packing of steaks and chops, is no longer sustainable.
"Our main focus now is to begin discussions with our colleagues to explore every available option to mitigate the potential loss of this function, which will include seeking relocation and redeployment opportunities elsewhere in the group.
"This decision does not impact our beef and lamb slaughter and cutting operations and these will continue to operate as usual at Merthyr Tydfil. The site will continue to employ up to 700 colleagues."
Nick Ireland, food union Usdaw's divisional officer, said: "This proposal will be devastating news for the loyal and hardworking staff at the Merthyr Tydfil site, especially so in the run up to Christmas.
"Usdaw will be doing everything we can during the 45 day consultation process to look in detail at the proposals with a view to safeguarding jobs, maximising future employment at the Merthyr Tydfil site and securing the best deal possible for staff."
According to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Seymour Hersh, the US raid that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was not a secret, risky US action, it was a joint operation between the US and Pakistani military intelligence.
The allegation has many in the US - and Pakistan - crying foul, and pointing to what they see as insufficient attribution and questionable conclusions throughout Hersh's lengthy piece.
"The notion that the operation that killed Osama Bin Laden was anything but a unilateral US mission is patently false," said White House spokesperson Ned Price, adding that the piece was riddled with "inaccuracies and baseless assertions".
At the heart of Hersh's article is the allegation that, starting in 2006, Bin Laden was under Pakistani control, kept in Abbottabad with the financial assistance of Saudi Arabia.
Hersh says high-level Pakistani officials consented to allow the US to conduct its "raid" on the compound - a de facto assassination - after the US found out about Bin Laden's whereabouts through a source in Pakistani intelligence (and not, as reported, after interrogation of al-Qaeda detainees and extensive investigation into a Bin Laden courier).
A deal was then struck that included allowing the US to set up detailed surveillance of the area, obtaining DNA evidence confirming Bin Laden's identity and even providing a Pakistani agent to help guide the operation - in exchange for continued US financial support of the nation's intelligence service and its leaders.
As part of the agreement, according to Hersh, the US would hold off on announcing Bin Laden's death for a week, and then only say that he was killed in a drone strike in Afghanistan. Mr Obama double-crossed the Pakistanis, however, after one of the US helicopters crashed during the operation and the White House feared they could not contain the story.
Instead Mr Obama spoke to the nation that night, announcing that US Navy special forces had conducted a daring attack based on months of secret intelligence-gathering, without the knowledge of the Pakistanis, concluding in a firefight in which Bin Laden - and other militants - were killed.
In the following days, further details - sometimes conflicting and later disavowed - leaked out from the White House, angering US special forces commanders and defence officials.
"The White House's story might have been written by Lewis Carroll," Hersh writes in the latest issue of the London Review of Books, referencing the author of Alice in Wonderland.
His piece ends with a broad-based condemnation of the Obama administration's foreign policy operation.
"High-level lying nevertheless remains the modus operandi of US policy, along with secret prisons, drone attacks, Special Forces night raids, bypassing the chain of command and cutting out those who might say no," he writes.
Word of Hersh's story spread quickly, dominating political conversation on social media and repeatedly crashing the London Review of Books' website due to the heavy volume of traffic.
It also didn't take long before some of Hersh's fellow journalists began questioning the story, most notably Max Fisher of Vox and Peter Bergen of CNN. The critiques fall into a few major categories:
• Unreliable sources. Much of Hersh's article is based on the claims of unnamed intelligence officials in the US and Pakistan, none of whom were directly involved in the operation. The only named source, Asad Durrani, served in the Pakistani military intelligence more than two decades ago and says only that "former colleagues" of his back up Hersh's claims. Durrani was later contacted by CNN's Bergen, and he would only say that Hersh's account was "plausible".
• Contradictory claims. Hersh disregards the fact that two of the Navy Seals involved in the attack on Bin Laden's compound have come out with details of the raid that directly contradict his account. Bergen, who visited the compound after the operation, writes that there was clear evidence of a protracted firefight, as the location was "littered almost everywhere with broken glass and several areas of it were sprayed with bullet holes".
• Unrealistic conclusions. Why would the Saudis support a man who wanted to overthrow the Saudi monarchy? Why, if US support for Pakistan was part of the bargain, did US-Pakistani relations deteriorate in the years after the raid? If the US and Pakistan were co-operating, was a staged raid really the simplest possible way to ensure that Bin Laden was killed?
As is often the case with conspiracy theories, perhaps the sharpest criticism of Mr Hersh's narrative is that it relies on a large cast of characters operating effectively while maintaining universal secrecy. Vox's Fisher accuses Hersh - who won a Pulitzer in 1970 for exposing the My Lai massacre of Vietnamese civilians at the hands of US soldiers - of producing a growing number of difficult-to-believe exposes based on tenuous evidence.
In the last three years, for example, he has penned pieces alleging the George W Bush administration trained Iranian militants in Nevada and that Turkey was behind chemical weapons attacks in Syria.
"Maybe there really is a vast shadow world of complex and diabolical conspiracies, executed brilliantly by international networks of government masterminds," Fisher writes. "And maybe Hersh and his handful of anonymous former senior officials really are alone in glimpsing this world and its terrifying secrets. Or maybe there's a simpler explanation."
Meanwhile, conservative commentators in the US, who have long chafed at some of Hersh's accusations about US actions during the Bush administration, celebrated the criticism - while noting what they saw as the key motivating factor.
"When Seymour Hersh manufactures crazy against Obama, suddenly he's a crank, not an elder statesman," tweets Breitbart's John Nolte. "With Bush he was a media GOD."
In a television interview on Monday, Hersh tried to turn the tables, saying that the US account of the operation is the one that's unbelievable.
"Twenty-four or 25 guys go in to the middle of Pakistan, take out a guy with no air cover, no protection, no security, with no trouble - are you kidding me?" he said.
"Look, I'm sorry it goes against the grain," he added. "I've been doing this my entire life, and all I can tell you is I understand the consequences."
There's a bit of internet shorthand, frequently used on Twitter, to preface an allegation that seems explosive but questionable: "Whoa if true".
It seems the reaction to Hersh's piece so far has included a lot of "whoa" - but with a heavy emphasis on the caveat, "if true".
Sannino quit two weeks ago with the Hornets second in the Championship and was replaced by Oscar Garcia.
"He worked in a very old school, Italian way. It can be a big contrast to English football," Ekstrand, 25, told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"Other than that, he was a great manager for me."
Sannino's departure came after he appeared to experience a backlash from players, personified by winger Lloyd Dyer's decision to shout at the manager after scoring in a 2-0 win over Rotherham.
Sannino, who was in charge for eight months after taking over from Gianfranco Zola, has since said the Watford players had "little desire to think about tactics".
"With every manager there are always some parts of the squad that are less happy," said Swede Ekstrand.
"I can only speak for me personally and I had nothing against Sannino. I had a good time with him.
"Zola was very modern and wanted to play with pace and flow, and maybe Sannino was a bit more technical. Managers are not the same - sometimes you succeed, sometimes not."
Former Brighton boss Garcia finds himself in the unusual position of taking over a side that are near the top of the table.
He takes charge of his first game at Charlton on Saturday, after a week disturbed by international call-ups.
"I think it's easier for him to come in now," said Ekstrand.
"We are happy to have him here. We have to try and get along as quickly as possible and continue to get as many points as we can.
"Little by little he is telling us about his ideas of the game. But he can't come in and change everything - it will be piece by piece."
The Donegal GAA County Board met to discuss and vote on the option of granting a long-term deal for the county boss in Ballybofey on Monday.
Gallagher had completed two years of his initial three-year term.
Donegal lost to Tyrone in the Ulster SFC final in July and then went down to Dublin in the quarter-finals of the All-Ireland series in August.
Gallagher, who succeeded All-Ireland winning manager Jim McGuinness in the job, is understood to have made the case to extend his stay to a special review committee last week.
The Executive Committee then brought forward their proposal to club delegates, who debated the matter on Monday evening.
With senior players Eamon McGee and Colm McFadden having retired, the former St Gall's clubman faces undertaking a rebuilding process.
A number of players such as captain Michael Murphy and Ryan McHugh have spoken out in support of their manager in recent weeks.

Trading Standards officers say that tens of thousands of users are falling victim to such scams, which begin when they ask for help with a printer error.
The fraudsters claim to offer "printer helplines", which consumers are fooled into contacting.
Typically, users then allow scammers remote access to their computers.
In some cases the fraudsters steal information - such as bank account details - or demand money to hand back control.
They appear credible by claiming to have links with well-known computer and printer brands.
In one case, they tried to charge a victim £700.
Another user was told that their online identity had been corrupted and all their passwords had been stolen. The "fee" to correct it was £200.
"This printer helpline scam scam is particularly pernicious because it encourages victims to unknowingly contact the fraudsters of their own accord," said Mike Andrews, lead co-ordinator of the National Trading Standards eCrime team.
"While victims expect they will receive help with their printer problems, they have in fact been lured into a trap, and find themselves at risking of losing money or important personal information and also have their computer security compromised."
In 2016 there were more than 32,000 such cases of computer service fraud, according to Action Fraud, which is a 47% rise since 2014.
"I would urge people to be particularly vigilant about this scam," said Lord Harris, chair of National Trading Standards.
"If you are seeking help for printer issues you should always use the official printer helpline details provided when you bought the product or consult the official website of the manufacturer for helpline details."
James Johnston's Facebook video about the incident at the Fort Shopping Centre in the east of Glasgow has been watched more than 800,000 times.
The 27-year-old told the Kaye Adams programme the men had been rude and ignorant and made him feel "rotten".
He said the reaction to the video had been "absolutely fantastic".
James, from Bellshill in Lanarkshire, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis three years ago.
In the video he is visibly upset as he describes how the men laughed as he tried to pick up his phone from the ground.
James told the Kaye Adams programme it all began when he was rushing to the toilet at the shopping centre and he overtook the men.
He said: "I can't walk in a straight line because of the MS. I'm walking as fast as I can and I feel as though my legs are actually going to give way."
James said he was aware that he "staggers" when he walks and it makes him look drunk.
He said he was used to people staring and his main aim was to reach the toilet in time.
"There is nothing more demeaning than wetting yourself, especially at 27," he said.
When he walked out of the cubicle one of the men he had seen before walked into the toilet, but James ignored him.
"I walked out into the lobby outside the toilets and this guy was looking at his phone and I noticed him looking at me," he said.
"He had a disgusted look on his face."
James tried to phone his partner but she didn't answer. He then saw his step-daughter outside a shop and he tried to get her attention but dropped his phone.
Because he has very little sensation in his fingers he had trouble picking it up.
"These two same guys, one of them stepped over the phone and went 'oops' and the two of them sniggered.
"Fair enough, they didn't know I had got a disability but at the same time, manners don't cost anything."
James said: "I usually just ignore it but this was the straw broke the camel's back. You get used to the stares but you should not need to.
"What they did was rude and ignorant."
He says he posted the Facebook video to raise awareness and to shame the two men, who he hopes might see it.
"It's trying to get across to people don't judge a book by its cover," he said.
"It made me feel less human. I just felt rotten.
"We left the Fort after that. I just said I don't want to be here."
When he got home he posted the video expecting to get a few hundred views.
"It has gone nuts," he says.
"I'm overwhelmed by it because I really didn't expect the feedback that I have got.
"About 99.9% has been absolutely fantastic. There are a couple of people who maybe are ignorant."
Before he was diagnosed with MS, James used to drive buses.
He said finding out he had the condition was "heartbreaking" and admits that he had been ignorant about MS before he was diagnosed.
But he said having the condition was bad enough without the stigma that came with it.
Rebecca Duff from the MS Society: "Unfortunately James's story is not unique.
"We did a survey last year around stigma and about half of the people we surveyed had been accused of being drunk. They'd also been challenged about parking in a disabled parking bay.
"A lot of symptoms of MS are maybe not visible. It is not always about a wheelchair."
James said he was trying to remain independent and last year went to Cuba on his own for a holiday.
"I'm living my life more now than I was three years ago," he said.
Tom Watson said Mr Osborne would be expected to seek to influence ministers on media policy in his new role, and urged Mr Hancock to excuse himself from any matters relating to the Standard.
Mr Osborne has faced calls to quit as an MP after he accepted the editorship.
But he insists he can do both jobs.
In a letter to the minister of state for digital and culture, Mr Watson pointed to the long-standing personal and professional relationship Mr Hancock had enjoyed with Mr Osborne.
"It is a matter of public record that your first job in politics, in 2005, was as an economic advisor to Mr Osborne, who was then the shadow chancellor," he wrote.
"You later became Mr Osborne's chief of staff. These roles and the contacts you will have made through holding them, were no doubt helpful to you as you successfully sought selection as Conservative parliamentary candidate for West Suffolk, the constituency you have represented as an MP since 2010."
Mr Watson stressed that there was "no secret, and no shame, in a Conservative MP being a loyal ally of his former boss and powerful patron" - but he warned that as a minister he will now have responsibility for policy areas in which Mr Osborne and his new employer have a commercial interest.
Politics and journalism
He argued that, as the Standard's editor, Mr Osborne "can be expected to seek to influence ministers on media policy in line with his views and the views of his paper's proprietor Mr Alexander Lebedev, both in the pages of the newspaper and in meetings with ministers.
"You would be one of the chief targets of any such attempts to influence media policy," he said.
"Your long-standing relationship with Mr Osborne means that any ministerial decisions you make from now on which affect media policy will be subject to accusations of a conflict of interest which it will be difficult for you to disprove."
Mr Osborne's new job has caused controversy after he said he intends to combine the editorship role with that of representing his Cheshire constituency of Tatton - 190 miles from the capital.
But in an open letter to his constituents, Mr Osborne said: "There is a long tradition of politics and journalism mixing. One of the greatest newspaper editors ever, CP Scott, combined editing the Manchester Guardian with being an MP.
"In our age, politicians from Iain Macleod and Richard Crossman to, of course, Boris Johnson have combined the role of editor and Member of Parliament," the Knutsford Guardian reported.
Buick, on Highlands Queen, was adjudged to have caused the fall of Pierre-Charles Boudet's mount Armande.
He was subsequently disqualified from his ninth-placed finish and put last.
Stewards banned Godolphin jockey Buick for the automatic 15 days for causing the fall and an extra 15 days for being offensive to the officials.
Boudet and Armande were not thought to be seriously injured.
Buick, 27, has said he will appeal against the original 15-day suspension, which is due to begin on 3 July.
If he is unsuccessful in his appeal he will miss meetings including the Irish Oaks, Newmarket's July meeting, the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot and Glorious Goodwood.
La Cressonniere, ridden by Cristian Demuro, completed a Classic double for trainer Jean-Claude Rouget as she followed up her French 1,000 Guineas victory in a rough contest with plenty of bumping.
Ballydoyle, ridden by Ryan Moore, suffered a bump early on and could not recover to challenge, finishing sixth behind Aidan O'Brien stablemate Coolmore.
It was a fifth win from five races for the 11-4 favourite La Cressonniere, with Left Hand second and Volta third.
Earlier in June, Rouget won the French Derby with Almanzor and he landed Royal Ascot's Coronation Stakes on Friday with Qemah.
Tom Scudamore's mount, trained by Colin Tizzard, was barely troubled in the three-mile staying hurdle on day three of the Festival.
The even-money favourite got away from his closest rival Alpha Des Obeaux (8-1) approaching the last.
He powered up the hill to win by seven lengths with Bobs Worth (33-1) a distant third.
It gave Scudamore his ninth Festival success and his second of 2016 and was the only English-trained horse to win in the seven races on St Patrick's Day.
"I've spent my whole life running around in these races, nearly getting there, and finally I've got a horse like this," he said. "It's unbelievable, I never realised it could be so easy.
"I always had lots of confidence in my fella, once we jumped the last it was all over. That was fantastic, what a racehorse. I think it's fair to say he's the best I've sat on."
BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght:
For jump racing, Cheltenham is all about crowning champions. Some winners ooze quality more than others, but Thistlecrack was magnificent, stalking the leaders before easing into the lead when asked and quickly putting the race to bed.
Colin Tizzard spoke of not having to be part of a "big battalion" to find a superstar, and that was not lost on anybody.
Of course Willie Mullins is doing great things, but it's important too that the smaller outfits like Tizzard's get a look-in. Tomorrow they take on Mullins and Co in the Gold Cup with Cue Card.
Earlier, Vautour (evens) landed a comfortable win in the Ryanair Chase - one of three wins on St Patrick's Day for jockey Ruby Walsh - who passed the 50-winner mark at the Festival - and trainer Willie Mullins.
The pair combined to take the opening race of the day, the JLT Novices Chase, with Black Hercules (4-1) to give Walsh his half-century of winners and they later landed the Trull House Stud Mares' Novices' Hurdle courtesy of the 8-11 favourite Limini who kept up her unbeaten record
Vautour had been due to run in Friday's Gold Cup but bypassed that one to land his third Cheltenham Festival win in a row.
Road To Riches tried to challenge but once Walsh got his mount into gear as they turned from home, he looked impressive.
He went on to win by six lengths with stable-mate Valseur Lido (11-1) grabbing second from Road To Riches (7-1).
"If you were watching him at home I'm not sure you'd even have run him in the Ryanair," said Walsh.
"He worked half all right on Saturday morning, I wouldn't say he worked well. If you'd watched him up until then - I'd written him off in my mind, but Willie gets it right doesn't he?"
While Black Hercules had to battle hard against rivals Bristol De Mai and L'Ami Serge to win by three lengths in their encounter, Limini, like Vautour owned by banker Rich Ricci, showed a great turn of pace up the hill to emerge victorious by four and a half lengths from outsider Dusky Legend (50-1) with Bloody Mary (7-1) third
"She's a very talented filly, all we had to do was iron out her jumping but she schooled really well the last fortnight, very slick," said Walsh.
"There was never a moment's worry. She travelled well and jumped well. If she'd got beat it wouldn't have made sense as she's been working with some good horses.
"Stamina wasn't an issue. We told everyone for the last six weeks and she was just a shade of odds-on."
Jockey Davy Russell made up for his disappointment after being unseated from Zabana at the start of the opening race of the day when Mall Dini (14-1) took the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle Final to give trainer Patrick Kelly his first Festival success.
In a tightly contested finish the winner came out on top by three-quarters of a length from Arpege D'Alene (14-1) with the unlucky If In Doubt (10-1) a head away in third and top-weight Taglietelle (14-1) fourth.
"He's still a novice, all credit goes to Pat Kelly. What a man, not many people know him, he's a very shrewd man from Galway," said a delighted Russell.
"The tongue strap has definitely helped him, he was overdoing things a bit and not breathing properly. It's all Pat Kelly's doing. He knew what the horse wanted. He's a genius."
There was yet more Irish success in the day's other two races, as Bryan Cooper, who will ride the well-fancied Don Cossack in Friday's Gold Cup, gained his first win of the week when Empire of Dirt (16-1) won the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate for trainer Colm Murphy.
Then, in the final race of the day, the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup for amateur riders, Jamie Codd claimed his fourth victory in the race on board the Gordon Elliott-trained Cause of Causes (9-2).
Like-for like fourth quarter revenue in the US, McDonald's biggest market, fell by 1.3% compared with late 2015 when it launched its all day breakfast.
While total global sales grew in the fourth quarter and full year, menu changes have eaten into growth.
Analyst Neil Saunders said instead of it pulling new customers into McDonalds, people had been switching to cheaper meals, including the breakfast.
Under president and chief executive Steve Easterbrook, McDonald's has been working on revitalising the business, which had been suffering under falling sales.
Mr Easterbrook said on Monday: "Throughout 2016, we worked diligently to lay the groundwork for our long-term future. We focused on driving changes in our menu, restaurants and technology to deliver an enhanced McDonald's experience for our customers around the world."
Mr Saunders, chief executive of retail research business, Conlumino, said: "In our view, as much as menu change was right, one of the impacts of the all day breakfast options has been to provide diners with cheaper options. Many have exploited this and average transaction values for lunch and dinner have fallen as a consequence, something that has put a dampener on overall growth.
"In this regard, putting to one side the initial uplift in interest when all day breakfast was launched, the initiative seems to have ultimately created quite a lot of menu choice switching rather than driving new customers to stores."
Operating profit in North America for the three months to December also fell, down 11%, although the previous year's profit was flattered by a gain on the sale of a restaurant property.
In other regions, growth was stronger. International comparable sales for the final quarter rose 2.8% led by the UK, while in McDonald's high growth markets revenue jumped by 4.7% helped in particular by China.
Globally, like-for-like turnover increased 2.7% in the final three months of the year, and for the whole of 2016 expanded by 3.8%.
It is one of the main teaching unions in Northern Ireland with about 7,000 members, and the first strike will take place on 18 January 2017.
It is the second teaching union whose members will strike over what they have called an "insulting" pay offer.
Education Minister Peter Weir said he was "disappointed" by the move and asked Into members to "reflect" on it.
In October, all teaching unions in Northern Ireland rejected an offer that would have seen their pay frozen last year and a rise of 1% for 2016-17.
Seamus Hanna, the chairman of the Into's northern committee, said the union had tried to avoid closing schools.
"Despite the sincerity of our efforts, all attempts to find a just settlement and avoid the closure of schools have now failed," he said.
"The Into is now directed by our members to engage in both half-day strike action and inaction short of strike, which will include non-co-operation with the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI)."
Four out of every five Into members who voted in a union ballot backed strike action, on a turnout of 40%.
Members of the NASUWT union in Belfast and Newtownabbey staged a one-day strike in November, which closed or partially closed about 70 schools in the area.
NASUWT members in other areas are to take similar action in January and February 2017.
However, members of another teaching union, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), have voted against stoppages.
Instead, they are to take industrial action short of a strike.
That also includes non-co-operation with school inspections by the ETI and "needless accountability, scrutiny, bureaucracy and administration".
Criticising both the Into and the ATL, Mr Weir said their decisions do not "sit easy with me".
"I would ask teaching unions to reflect on any planned disruption, as industrial action is not in the interests of children, schools or teachers themselves," the minister added.
"I would urge them to go back to the negotiating table for future years and to accept that the pay offer they walked away from is not in a position to be improved upon."
The BBC understands that the other main teaching union, the Ulster Teachers' Union, is also likely to vote for action short of a strike.
However, the final results of its ballot will not be known until early 2017.
Ddydd Gwener penderfynodd barnwr yng Nghanolfan Cyfiawnder Sifil Caerdydd y byddai cwmni preifat Indigo yn cael casglu'r ffioedd gan staff Ysbyty Athrofaol Cymru.
Mae'r dyfarniad yn golygu fod yn rhaid i 75 o bobl dalu £128 am bob tocyn gawson nhw.
Dywedodd Sophie Round, gweithiwr iechyd cynorthwyol, mai "nid dyma'r canlyniad roedden ni eisiau a dyw ein cyflogau ni ddim wir yn ddigon i dalu'r dirwyon".
Ychwanegodd Sue Prior, sydd wedi bod yn ymgyrchu ar ran y staff: "Mae'n arswydus. Mae rhai [o'r staff] wedi'u dryllio.
"Maen nhw mewn braw... yn teimlo'n sâl. Mae hyn yn effeithio pawb, o lanhawyr i ddoctoriaid."
Dywedodd fod gan staff drwyddedau oedd yn eu caniatáu i barcio mewn mannau penodedig am £1.05 y diwrnod.
Ond oherwydd diffyg lle, meddai, roedd rhai staff wedi gorfod parcio mewn mannau eraill.
Dywedodd Ms Prior ei bod hi wedi bod yn ymgyrchu ar ran y staff am fod dau o'i phlant hi wedi eu geni yn ddall yn yr ysbyty, ond yn dilyn ymyrraeth feddygol maen nhw bellach yn gallu gweld rhywfaint.
"Roedd rhaid i mi helpu. Heb y bobl yma a'r GIG byddai fy mhlant yn ddall," meddai.

The police watchdog looked into Dr Steven Peers's arrest by Insp David Kehoe in Salford in 2014, but cleared him of gross misconduct.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) had disagreed he had a case to answer.
Greater Manchester Police Federation said the IPCC inquiry was "flawed".
Dr Peers was detained for failing to provide a breath specimen but the case against him later collapsed.
He was filming the arrest of a anti-fracking protester at Barton Moss in his role as a lawful observer when he was accused by Insp Kehoe of drink-driving.
He denied the charge and claimed video evidence showed he was wrongly arrested.
Footage of his arrest published on social media prompted GMP to refer the incident to the IPCC.
A GMP internal investigation found Insp Kehoe had no case to answer, but the IPCC deputy chair Rachel Cerfontyne directed that a gross misconduct hearing should take place.
The IPCC also found the officer had no case to answer in October 2016.
GMP Federation chairman Ian Hanson said his organisation commissioned an independent barrister to review the IPCC's inquiry.
He said the evidence in the report, which was sent to the police watchdog, suggests the investigation was "flawed from the outset" and there was either "gross incompetence or criminality".
Mr Hanson said he want to see an "independent, thorough investigation".
An IPCC spokesperson said the watchdog received a complaint, which has been "dealt with through our normal internal complaints process".
Anti-fracking protests began at Barton Moss in November 2014 when energy company IGas started test-drilling for shale gas.

Massive fan Nathan could never watch his team play because of a medical condition called autism.
It's a condition that affects the way you see the world around you. It can make you extremely sensitive to sounds, touch, smells, and light. So somewhere very busy and loud like a football match can be really stressful.
Nathan's family wanted a safe, calm space for their sons and others to watch football. They campaigned for a special room for people with autism and similar conditions.

The Kent club face Leicester Riders in Sunday's showpiece, where they could start teenagers Gabriele Nikitinaite, 18, and Daniela Lozzi, 17.
"We've got a mix of older players and a number of very young players," Busch told BBC Radio Kent.
"For the club, it's a big opportunity. We're very excited to be there."
American Busch has already masterminded two victories over Leicester this season and believes youngsters Nikitinaite and Lozzi could be the key in Glasgow.
"From Christmas, their play has picked up big time for us and it's made things easier on our professionals, who are able to do more because everybody is contributing," he said.
"Leicester are certainly a very professional women's team but we've had some success against them and I'm sure it will be a really competitive game."
Leicester sit third in the WBBL Championship, two places ahead of the Suns, and will be hoping to do the double in Glasgow, with the men's final against Plymouth Raiders following the women's encounter.
Riders head coach Matt Harber told BBC Sport: "This is a fantastic opportunity.
"We have worked really hard for the past couple of years to position ourselves and we think we are ready to make that next step and bring back some silverware to Leicester."
Riders guard Alex Smith added: "Matt really emphasises staying upbeat and positive, building a team good camaraderie and being competitive every day.
"When you are winning it is always easier to stay upbeat and keep everyone on the same page and stay focused.
"Basketball in the UK has a great atmosphere and I think we are definitely on the verge of something - specifically in Leicester with the new sports hall."
But then, unexpectedly, in 2013, ecologist Zalmai Moheb and a team of researchers caught a glimpse of one.
Their findings were recently published and the IUCN, the world conservation union and keeper of the Red List of endangered species, is also now considering reclassifying the deer, a move that would highlight just how vulnerable the animal still is.
It was an extraordinary moment for Mr Moheb and one that tells a story - not just about the animal and how it managed to survive against the odds - but the country too.
"We said to ourselves, 'wow, we are going to confirm the presence of this rare deer for this first time in 45 years when conservationists had almost lost hope to find this animal again in Afghanistan''", he said.
The Bactrian deer, also called the Bukhara, is a rare sub-species of red deer, native to central Asia. They are typically found in riparian habitats- areas where trees, shrubs and grasses grow along river banks.
The deer was almost feared lost in the 1970s, when researchers claimed that only 120 remained in a small pocket of north-eastern Afghanistan, in the Takhar province, on the border of Tajikistan.
Later that decade, in 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, heralding a war that lasted nine years and unleashing chaos which saw hundreds of thousands killed and millions flee the country. A devastating civil war followed the Soviet invasion and then the Taliban installed themselves in 1996 until they were ousted by a US-led invasion in 2001.
The country has since then maintained democracy, albeit with militants still active and dominant in certain regions and security in some parts by no means guaranteed.
"We were not very confident at the beginning, but we continued the search nevertheless," Mr Moheb, a PhD student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and wildlife ecologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society, said as he described his mission.
He led a small team trying to find a trace of the deer in the north, in an area ostensibly at peace but with some security concerns.
"Eventually we found one, which was very exciting," he said.
It was hoof marks and faecal pellets that led Moheb and his team to believe that the Bactrian deer could still exist.
"Finding field evidence gave us hope that the species still existed in the area," said Mr Moheb, who came across the young female deer in the Darqad district, along the border with Tajikistan.
They didn't go in with much optimism, knowing that the violence that swept through the nation for more two decades was bound to have had an impact on the wildlife.
"Conflicts have always been detrimental, not only to a wild species, but for the entire ecosystem," said Mr Moheb. "Hunting for food, habitat degradation and deforestation were all things that affected the Bactrian."
In addition, access to firearms meant anyone could easily shoot down animals - and the deer population suffered as a result.
A number of the Bactrian deer, the exact figure of which is unknown, are believed to have migrated to Tajikistan during the war, enabling them to escape the crossfire in Afghanistan at the time.
Mr Moheb believes that this is how many of the deer managed to survive.
However, guns aren't the only things putting the Bactrian at risk today.
According to Mr Moheb, wealthy families are believed to keep the rare animal as pets, only one of many obstacles the animal has had to overcome.
Conducting research in an area that has seen violence has also proved a challenge at times and Mr Moheb says entering the region was a "concern".
"We take every precaution to minimise the risks for us and our colleagues", he said. "Working in this field is sometimes challenging, but always interesting."
But his find is a boost for the conservation community.
The global population of the deer has increased from around 300 in the 1960s to around 1,900 in 2011, partly as a result of conservation efforts.
However, under the IUCN's Red list, which keeps track of animals under threat, the Bactrian deer was until recently classified as a subspecies of the red deer- an animal that is listed under a "least concern conservation status".
The Bactrian is now being merged with two other former Red deer subspecies to better reflect its endangered status, with the categorisation of this new species still facing "assessment", according to Craig Hilton-Taylor, head of the list.
"The assessment of this new species is in the process of being finalised for publication in December", said Mr Hilton-Taylor.
Today, governmental organisations and NGOs are working together to conserve wildlife through different parts of Afghanistan, employing wildlife rangers and promoting law enforcement in the area.
The Bactrian deer is also native to the surrounding areas of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
"The presence of the Bactrian deer is very important for Afghanistan," he said, adding that it was part of the nation's natural heritage.
"Despite all the challenges in conservation, you can feel the good you're doing for humanity".
Austin opened the scoring with a controversial penalty after Costa Nhamoinesu was harshly adjudged to have handled while challenging the striker.
Dusan Tadic had to be ushered away after arguing about who should take the penalty but celebrated with Austin.
Austin's header made it 2-0 before Jay Rodriguez added a late third.
Relive Southampton's Europa League victory
Puel has endured a frustrating start to his managerial reign at Southampton after two draws and two defeats, including Saturday's last-minute loss at Arsenal.
But this was a highly satisfactory night for the Frenchman as the Saints secured a comfortable Group K win with Austin, who has started just one league game this season, causing chaos with his pace and accurate finishing.
The 27-year-old looked like a player with a point to prove as he scored twice in 22 first-half minutes, the first a controversial penalty awarded after Nhamoinesu was ruled to have handled while challenging Austin on the edge of the area.
German referee Manuel Grafe originally awarded a corner only to change his mind and point to the spot.
More drama was to follow as Austin's team-mate Tadic had to be guided away by captain Virgil van Dijk after arguing over who should take the kick.
Austin duly scored from the spot before the former QPR striker headed his second from the edge of the six-yard area after Cuco Martina's clever cross.
Having scored the winner at Manchester United last January, Austin has now found the net on both his Premier League and Europa League debuts for Southampton.
Sparta Prague offered very little threat in a match which at times resembled a training game.
The Czech visitors forced just one save from Fraser Forster, who beat away substitute David Lafata's first-time effort when the score was 2-0.
Puel made seven changes to the side that started against Arsenal yet there was an intensity and a desire as his fringe players left him with plenty to ponder.
Tadic and Austin were lively throughout while Shane Long capped an impressive individual display by setting up substitute Rodriguez to turn home Saints' third from close range.
The win takes Southampton top of the group ahead of their trip to Israel to face Hapoel Be'er Sheva, who won 2-0 away at Inter Milan, on 29 September.
Southampton striker Charlie Austin on taking the penalty: "As a centre-forward I think I should take the penalties. I've come here full of confidence, even though I've not scored.
"I put the ball on the spot and luckily it gave us a 1-0 lead. I think it was a bit silly from me and Dusan, but I'll take the penalties in future."
Southampton boss Claude Puel on the argument over the penalty: "They can discuss together; if all the time you put the ball in the goal it's OK. For me it's not important."
On the performance: "It was a great performance. We played a very good team of technical players. It was difficult but the penalty at the start of the game helped us on to good things."
Will this win kick-start Southampton's season? We'll soon find out. They entertain Swansea City at St Mary's on Sunday (14:15 BST).

Plans for urban development and slum demolition have been a violently contested issue in Port Harcourt.
Amnesty is warning that continued development may leave as many as 200,000 people homeless.
Sprawling and chaotic, the city of Port Harcourt is Nigeria's oil capital in the Niger Delta.
Africa Have Your Say
Its shanty towns and slums are home to tens of thousands of people all scraping a living in a city pumping billions of dollars worth of oil.
In 2009, the Rivers State government began plans to rebuild parts of the city.
They are demolishing slums on the waterfront as part of the "Greater Port Harcourt master plan".
Forced evictions regularly spark demonstrations there and police have even fired live rounds at protesters. Several civilians have been killed.
The local government hopes to develop the area to create jobs, stimulate the local economy and build better roads - all of it urgently needed.
They hope to build an eight-screen cinema, a shopping mall and hotels.
They are following a buy-out scheme, paying those who own the properties to move.
But most of the residents on the waterfront are poor tenants who get no compensation and have nowhere to go.
Many of them now sleep outdoors under bridges and in the streets.
Amnesty is now warning that as many as 200,000 people could end up homeless if alternative housing is not found for them.
"These planned demolitions are likely to plunge hundreds of thousands of Nigeria's most vulnerable citizens further into poverty," said the group's Africa deputy programme director, Tawanda Hondora.
"The government should halt the waterfront evictions until they ensure they comply with international human rights standards." | A food retailer is proposing to cut 350 jobs at its meat processing plant in Merthyr Tydfil.

The 24-year-old former University of Missouri athlete revealed his sexuality on Sunday.
Mrs Obama took to Twitter to call Sam "an inspiration to all of us".
The National Football League has also welcomed the defensive lineman's announcement, saying Sam has "honesty and courage".
Mrs Obama said of Sam: "We couldn't be prouder of your courage both on and off the field."
In the interview that aired on ESPN on Sunday, Sam said: "I came to tell the world I'm an openly gay man.
Sam's form in his final season as a college footballer saw him named defensive player of the year in the Southeastern Conference, widely considered the top league in college football. His university team mates, who knew he was gay, voted him their most valuable player.
"If I work hard, if I make plays - that's all that should matter."
The athlete completed his college football career in December and is expected to be drafted by an NFL franchise in May.
He is said to have revealed his sexuality to his former college teammates at the University of Missouri's Mizzou Tigers, but admitted doing so publicly was "a weight off his chest".
"I probably may be the first but I won't be the last," he added. "And I think only good things will come from this."
Former college coach Gary Pinkel supported Sam on Monday, telling US media the athlete is "a great example of just how important it is to be respectful of others".
"He's taught a lot of people here first hand that it doesn't matter what your background is, or your personal orientation, we're all on the same team and we all support each other," Mr Pinkel added.
Should Sam be drafted as expected and make an NFL roster in the 2014 season, he would become the first openly gay player to compete in any of North America's four major professional sports leagues - football, baseball, basketball and hockey.
However, Sports Illustrated quotes anonymous coaches and scouts as saying that Sam's NFL draft outlook will now be adversely affected.
"In blunt terms, they project a significant drop in Sam's draft stock, a publicity circus and an NFL locker room culture not prepared to deal with an openly gay player," says the report.
In April 2013, basketball player Jason Collins came out during the sport's off-season but was not signed for the next campaign, meaning he never competed as an openly gay player.
Sam is expected to be a mid-draft pick when the NFL's teams hold their annual draft meeting, a process where players from America's college football system are signed for professional franchises.
Former players from the league have come out since retiring, but none have done so during their careers.
In a statement, the NFL said: "Michael is a football player. Any player with ability and determination can succeed in the NFL.
"We look forward to welcoming and supporting Michael Sam in 2014." | American footballer Michael Sam, who aims to become the NFL's first openly gay player, has won praise from First Lady Michelle Obama. | 26,127,936 | 645 | 31 | false |
Arthur, 24, said: "I don't believe it... I've just got to say thank you to the people who voted for me."
He sang a rendition of Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On on Sunday's show, as well as his choice of winner's single, Shontelle's Impossible.
Douglas, 21, said it was "a blessing to share the stage with such a talent" and advised him to "use it wisely".
Arthur hails from Saltburn by the Sea in north Yorkshire.
He has been gigging with his guitar in his local area for the last few years, writing his own songs and rapping.
Arthur only auditioned for this year's show at the last minute after his friend told him he had nothing to lose.
Judge Nicole Scherzinger, who mentored both Arthur and Douglas, described Arthur as "a fighter".
"He wanted this, he willed this to happen. He deserves this so much.
"And Jahmene - I'm so proud of both my boys."
Arthur's single can be downloaded from the internet and is available in shops from Wednesday, an X Factor spokesman said.
All profits from sales of the single will go to the charity Together for Short Lives, which supports children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions.
Arthur said in a statement after the show: "I am absolutely overwhelmed to have won The X Factor. I am lost for words.
"I love the song and am so glad that proceeds of the single will be going to such a great cause."
Earlier this week, Scherzinger told the BBC's Newsbeat website she plans to work with both her acts when they bring out their own music.
The former Pussycat Doll said Douglas and Arthur had helped make this year's competition.
"They've been a huge blessing," she told Newsbeat.
"I think it brings so much more credibility and integrity to the show."
Fellow judge Louis Walsh told Scherzinger: "You've been the best mentor ever on the X Factor. You've got two acts in the final and you've worked so hard."
For the first time in the X Factor's nine-year history, the live finals were staged outside London.
The two final shows - the first of which aired on Saturday night - were held at Manchester Central.
Chris Maloney, mentored by Gary Barlow, bowed out at the end of Saturday's show.
Famous faces in the audience on Sunday included Manchester United and Manchester City players following United's 3-2 victory over their neighbours in Sunday's derby match.
United's Rio Ferdinand spoke briefly to host Dermot O'Leary after suffering a cut eye as he appeared to be struck by an object thrown during the celebrations at the end of the match.
One Direction, Rihanna and Emeli Sande performed on Sunday night.
The X-Factor has struggled in the ratings this year, often being beaten by its BBC One rival Strictly Come Dancing.
However, last night an average of 9.8m watched the quarter-final of the dance show, compared with 11.1m tuning in to the results final of X Factor.
In its ninth series, the singing competition's 2012 final peaked at 12.5m viewers on ITV1, totalling 12.8m including viewers watching on ITV1+1, a service which launched in January 2011.
At Strictly's peak, 10.9m viewers tuned in on BBC 1 as Westlife star Nicky Byrne was voted off, leaving Denise Van Outen, Olympian Louis Smith, actresses Dani Harmer and Lisa Riley and Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh to dance in the semi-final.
Since 2010's X Factor final, which saw Matt Cardle triumph over Rebecca Ferguson, records show a loss of 4.91m viewers, down from 17.7m.
Jamieson, who lost to Murdoch in the same event at last year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, finished in 2:12.16 - 0.85 seconds ahead of his fellow Scot.
"I'd love to go sub 2:10," Jamieson told Scottish Swimming's website.
"I've never dipped below that unrested. I'm heading to Vichy next week for the French Open Championships so I'd like to get close to that then."
Having not qualified for this year's World Championships in Russia, which begin next month, Jamieson is working towards next year's Olympics in Rio.
"Rio is absolutely my goal," added the 27-year-old who won Olympic silver at London 2012.
"I want to get into the best shape possible. We hear all the time how great breaststroke is in the UK. But that's the truth. You need a world class time to make the British team and that is what is pushing us all on.
"I still believe I can get up there and compete with the best.
"I'm not going to Kazan. It's the first time I've not been part of the GB set up since 2009 and that's disappointing. It's not been an easy 12 months but I'm starting to enjoy my swimming again now so I'm all about looking forward."
Also at Tollcross International Swimming Centre in Glasgow, University of Stirling quartet Robbie Renwick, Jak Scott, Cameron Brodie and Jordan Hughes broke the British club record for the 4x200m freestyle by winning in 7:22.18.
Ex-Derby North Labour MP Chris Williamson set up the Derby Rights and Representation Foundation to offer help and advice to residents.
The decision was made by a Derby City Council director under "delegated powers", meaning it did not need to be reported to a public meeting.
Politicians have called for more transparency from the authority.
Updates on this story and more from Derbyshire
The BBC discovered the details through a Freedom of Information request.
The decision to allow Mr Williamson's organisation to have a rent-free office in the city's Eagle Market comes after the council scrapped funding for 34 charities and cut funding for the city's Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB).
Current Derby North MP, the Conservative Amanda Solloway, said the council has a duty "to provide detail of how this decision has been made and the justification for it".
"Questions need to be asked as to why the CAB, who are suitably qualified and placed to provide an advocacy service, has had its doors closed because of a decision made by Derby City Council. Only for the same authority to grant concessions to an organisation with a similar offering," she said.
There's no suggestion Chris Williamson has done anything wrong in asking Derby City Council to waive his rent.
But there are calls from all sides of the political spectrum for more transparency over the council's decision.
Labour's opponents - and some of its own members - want assurances that elected members of the council weren't lobbying behind the scenes.
Mr Williamson accused Ms Solloway of "trying to make a cheap party political point".
"I went to officers and asked the question about whether we could have a peppercorn rent to help to get the organisation going," Mr Williamson, who confirmed he does not take a salary from the organisation, said.
"The council, as I understand it, still provides a considerable degree of assistance to the CAB, much greater than the amount of rent that is being waived from the organisation.
"I don't feel guilty at all because we're providing an important service in the city."
The council said the foundation is on a flexible tenancy at a peppercorn rent - confirmed at zero.
It said no changes to the tenancy are planned while the council attempts to sell Eagle Market to shopping giant Intu.
The authority did not address why it decided to waive the foundation's rent.
"So the animal has actually gone to the wrong panel. He's swum to the long black panel first and had to change direction to find the platform."
Deep in the bowels of Cardiff University's Behavioural Neuroscience Laboratory, Dr Julie Dumont is putting a rat through its paces in a water maze.
It is a classic test of spatial awareness and memory, but because the rat has been bred to incorporate a set of specific gene variants associated with serious psychological disorders in humans, it is also a useful model for studying the impact of conditions ranging from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder to autism and ADHD.
The experiment is one of the first in a new initiative that aims to build on recent advances in genetics to develop a better understanding of the biological basis of brain function and mental illness.
Earlier this year, researchers based at Cardiff and the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston demonstrated that five of the major psychiatric disorders - schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, autism and ADHD - shared common genetic risk factors. In particular, two genes involved in the regulation of calcium in the brain seemed to play a role across all five disorders.
In a paper published in the Lancet and on the Today programme, one of the lead authors of the study, Prof Nick Craddock, argued that it could be used to help re-write the definitions of psychological conditions, reclassifying them on the basis of their causes rather than the descriptions of symptoms used today.
That process has now begun with the award of a £5.2m grant from the Wellcome Trust. Led by the professor of psychiatry at Cardiff University, Mike Owen, the DEFINE Consortium aims to build on the growing understanding of the genetics of brain function with insights from imaging studies, stem cell research and animal models, to create a biological model of mental illness.
"Recent findings in genetics have advanced our understanding of mental illness and psychiatric disorders in important new ways," says Professor Owen.
"The next step is to take the genetic findings and trace them into how the brain functions and influences behaviour."
A key component of this new biological model of mental illness comes from the analysis of neural cellular activity. Recent advances in the field of stem cells have enabled cell biologists like Prof Adrian Harwood to derive neurones from patients suffering from acute mental disorders like schizophrenia and study them in the laboratory.
"The genes that we've identified cause changes in proteins, and the proteins cause changes in cell behaviour. That's the arena where the important things are happening, so to understand these debilitating psychological conditions we really need to understand what's happening, the processes and biochemistry, in the context of the cell."
But not everyone is impressed with the idea of a biological model for mental illness. While Peter Kinderman, professor of clinical psychology at the University of Liverpool, accepts that "every single thought anyone has ever had must have involved neuro-chemical processing in the brain," he argues that neuroscience has consistently over stated the statistical significance of its findings and marginalised the vital role played by social and environmental factors.
"The problem is that we're relying on a very reductionist way of looking at what the brain does," he says. "To say that the biochemistry is the driving force or cause of behaviour is taking the interpretation too far. Suicide rates have risen significantly since the financial crisis began, but to say that suicide is caused by a deficit in serotonin is kind of crazy."
If neuroscience has been guilty of biological reductionism in the past, Prof Owen says that is not the intention behind the Cardiff DEFINE Consortium. Building a better model of mental illness, and developing better treatments for conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and autism will require insights from both biological and psychological approaches.
"It's not just the brain it's the mind as well, but we have to accept that understanding the biology, the neuroscience, is going to be a prerequisite for making progress on these conditions and in developing more effective treatments. It's necessary but it won't be sufficient," he says.
Although he often played the villain, his career as a noted character actor saw him appear in a variety of roles.
He originally planned to be an economist and did not take up acting seriously until his late 20s.
His biggest regret was turning down an opportunity to play one of the incarnations of The Doctor in Doctor Who.
He was born Ronald Moodnick in Tottenham, north London, on 8 January 1924, the son of Jewish immigrants,
When he was five his father followed the example of many other eastern European Jews and anglicised the family name,
The young Moody attended local schools where he showed himself to be adept in English and history.
"I loved to study and if I hadn't become an actor, I'd have liked to have become a teacher."
He took part in drama at Hornsey County School, once playing Shylock in a production of The Merchant of Venice.
When he left school he got a job in an accounts office before volunteering for the RAF.
After serving four years as a radar mechanic, he went to the London School of Economics where he studied sociology and psychology
There he took part in student revues and the acting bug finally took hold.
Moody took to writing and acting while writing his thesis. The enjoyment he derived from these activities inspired him to become a professional actor.
After many years mastering the art of a stand-up comic, Moody's big break came in the 1960s when he was given the chance to play Fagin in Oliver!, the musical version of Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist.
"Fate destined me to play Fagin. It was the part of a lifetime," he said.
Already possessing something of a Dickensian manner, Moody made the character his own.
His unique interpretation of the "merry Jew" won him international acclaim. Although he did not follow the cast when the musical transferred to Broadway, he was the only original cast member to star in the film version which was released in 1968.
He recalled the days working on the film as "one of the happiest times of my life". He went on to receive an Oscar nomination for his role.
Despite his desire to make people laugh, Moody's co-stars often found him difficult to work with.
He tended to improvise on stage from night to night, irritating directors.
The tussle between the method actor and the comic that created great chemistry on stage also led to problems behind the scenes with co-stars such as Georgia Brown.
His choice to remain in England even though Broadway wanted him to reprise the role of Fagin there limited his options.
But he believed it was the right decision. "I didn't want to go. I was very patriotic."
Throughout the 1960s, he appeared in a number of films, including playing opposite Margaret Rutherford in The Mouse on the Moon and in the Cliff Richard musical, Summer Holiday.
In 1969 he was offered the role as the third incarnation of The Doctor in the BBC series Doctor Who, where he would have replaced Patrick Troughton.
Moody turned it down, a decision he later bitterly regretted, and the part went to Jon Pertwee.
He later became a well-known face and voice on children's television, notably in Into the Labyrinth and The Animals from Farthing's Wood.
He finally made it to Broadway in 1984, where he reprised his role of Fagin in a revival of Oliver! His performance won him a Tony nomination.
Despite his obvious talent, Ron Moody resented how after Oliver! his career did not develop with the same success. He became typecast with roles similar to those of Fagin.
"You find that most of the successful people in films now are virtually giving the same performance with different clothes," he once said.
Moody let his romantic life take a back seat during his career, and remained a bachelor for more than 60 years. But in 1985, he met and married yoga instructor Therese Blackbourn and they became parents of six children.
Ron Moody played more contemporary roles in his later career, including Edwin Caldecott, an old nemesis of Jim Branning in EastEnders, Captain Hook in Peter Pan, and the title role in Sherlock Holmes - the Musical.
With an extensive repertoire, Moody will be remembered as a great British character actor. However, it is his portrayal of Fagin that will remain his lasting claim to fame.
A database posted online this week is reported to have included people's names, ID numbers and addresses.
Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag was quoted by local media as saying the number of people was comparable to those on the electoral register.
The Interior Minister said there was "no need to worry".
Pro-government newspaper the Daily Sabah reported news of an investigation on Wednesday.
"Where this was leaked from, finding out how it was leaked, is what the investigation needs to focus on," Mr Bozdag was quoted as saying.
However, the website of Turkish daily newspaper Milliyet published a statement from Communications Minister Binali Yildirim in which he said the leak was "a very old story" and the reports were "not newsworthy".
Later still, the Turkish state news agency published comments from the Interior Minister in which he said that the alleged leak was not from the country's central civil registration system, known as MERNIS.
In addition, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu sought to reassure Turkey's citizens.
"It is of vital importance to protect personal data entrusted to states and entities," he said.
"The personal data of our citizens are as important as the personal data of mine as a prime minister."
In total, the database reportedly contains details of just under 50 million people. The population of Turkey is estimated at 78 million.
The data is also reported to include individuals' birth dates and parents' names.
The 1.5 gigabyte cache of data was "partially verified" by the Associated Press news agency.
This was achieved by comparing 10 non-public Turkish ID numbers against names in the database, resulting in eight matches, the agency said.
A message on a site hosting the allegedly leaked data reads: "Who would have imagined that backwards ideologies, cronyism and rising religious extremism in Turkey would lead to a crumbling and vulnerable technical infrastructure?
"Do something about [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan! He is destroying your country beyond recognition."
The service for The Liver Birds and Bread creator will take place on 9 June at 14:00 BST.
Lane, who also ran an animal sanctuary from her home in Horsted Keynes, Sussex, died at a nursing home on 31 May, aged 87.
Her friend, the comedian Ken Dodd, described her as "a lovely, lovely writer".
Jean Boht, who played Nellie Boswell in Bread, said "she loved everybody".
Lane first became known for The Liver Birds, a sitcom about two women who shared a flat in Liverpool.
The programme aired from 1969 to 1979 and returned for a one-off series in 1996.
She was perhaps best known for the sitcom Bread, which depicted the working class Boswell family struggling through high unemployment and poor prospects in late 1980s Liverpool, and ran for seven series between 1986 and 1991.
Mark Linsey, director of BBC Studios, said: "Carla Lane was a supremely gifted writer of bittersweet family comedies, loved by generations.
"Her legacy is extraordinary. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this time."
Westminster's conventional wisdom had pretty much ruled out the election which Theresa May has just called, and her snap election will force a snap decision on quite a lot of MPs: should they stay, or should they go?
The first point to make is that an election now means returning 650 MPs, cancelling the proposed cull which would have downsized the Commons to 600 seats...so those who had faced being squeezed out in that process will get a five year reprieve (assuming, of course, the voters re-elect them) and it will be interesting to see if the promise of fewer MPs is included in the next Conservative manifesto.
With an election not expected 'til 2020, only handful of honourable members had signalled their intention to depart.
Now, others who have been wrestling with health problems or eying alternative employment, or simply battling with ennui, will have just days to decide whether they want to seek to continue in the Commons until 2022. Enquiring constituency parties will want to know.
With a maximum of seven working days left to the 2015 parliament, the time-line now looks like this:
Wednesday 19 April - the debate on an early dissolution of Parliament. By the end of the day, the clock will be ticking on the short, eventful life of the 2015 Parliament. The day's other major event will be Prime Minister's Questions, the penultimate confrontation of the Parliament, and, given the suggestion that there might not be TV debates between the party leaders, this confrontation and the one on 26 April will become major campaign events in their own right.
Over the ensuing week, Parliament will have to finalise or bin the remaining legislation still passing through Westminster…
There are a few bills at ping-pong stage at the moment bouncing between the Lords and Commons in search of final agreement. What normally happens in these circumstances is that the government seeks as much agreement as possible, and drops controversial parts of the legislation to get the rest through - a process known in Westminster slang as the "washup".
And on this occasion their lordships will only be sitting for four days next week, and, just possibly Tuesday 2 May - and the limited time strengthens their lordships' hand, because if they continue to object to a bill, it will fall if no agreement can be reached.
The bills in play are:
• Bus Services Bill (the big outstanding issue is whether local councils should be allowed to set up their own bus companies - the government opposes that)
• Children and Social Work Bill (peers want to remove a clause enabling the government to exempt local authorities in England from children's social care legislation requirements in order to allow them to test different ways of working to provide children's social care)
• Digital Economy Bill (issues in play include ticket-touting, the guaranteed prominence of public service broadcasters on digital TV platforms, and the creation of a commission to decide the level of the BBC Licence Fee)
• Health Services Supplies Bill
• Higher Education and Research Bill (the Lords inserted an amendment on the immigration status of students)
• National Citizen Service Bill
• Neighbourhood Planning Bill
• Pension Schemes Bill
• Technical and Further Education Bill (there are Lords amendments on careers advice and benefits for apprentices under 20)
A big question mark hovers over the Finance Bill. The normal drill on these occasions is that controversial bits are stripped out of necessary legislation, to get it through. In this case, there might be some watering down of its proposals on probate fees.
The Local Government Finance Bill (which devolves business rates), the Prisons and Courts Bill and the Vehicle and Aviation Bill are all likely to be dropped because they have not passed far enough through the parliamentary process - but if the government is returned, they will probably be reborn, phoenix-like, and fed into the parliamentary machine once more.
Meanwhile in select committee land, the committees will be engaged in a similar process, finishing off the reports they can produce in time, and possibly binning some inquiries that cannot be completed before the music stops.
And watch out for another, more subtle dimension to their washup, the effect of an imminent election. Opposition MPs will want reports that can be used to bash the government, while government MPs will want to avoid that, and maybe crowbar in some backing for government policy. The end result will probably be reports that are far more bland and carefully phrased.
Tuesday 2 May - the final sitting day available to the Commons and Lords.
Wednesday 3 May - dissolution day, which will take place at one minute past midnight. Assuming all legislative business is complete, it would be possible for Parliament to be prorogued - in effect suspended - a little earlier, if there is nothing to keep MPs there, so the actual dissolution would be a formality.
Thursday 4 May - Local and mayoral elections and (possibly) the Manchester Gorton by-election. These suddenly become a rather tantalising amuse-bouche for the main event, and the projected vote share for the parties could influence the unfolding campaign. (It is up to the returning officer in Manchester to decide whether the parliamentary by-election goes ahead - or whether the contest is held alongside the general election.)
Thursday 11 May (4pm) - deadline for nominations. We should already have a good idea who is going, and who is running, but a few surprises may be sprung. Might some big names be deselected by their local parties?
Monday 22 May - deadline for registering to vote
Thursday 8 June - polling day.
In the following days, a new Cabinet and team of ministers will be appointed - again it will be very interesting to see who is chosen and who is rejected.
There's no date set for the state opening of the new Parliament - I can speculate that it might be 14 or 21 June.
But this will be the moment when the new government unveils its legislative programme, and a new slate of select committee chairs and members will probably not be in place until just before Parliament's summer holiday.
Dale led a thrilling game full of chances through a volleyed effort from Callum Camps just before the break.
Rovers hit back with Mitchell Lund scoring from close range and Andy Butler netting with a looping finish.
But the visitors had Craig Alcock sent off for a second caution in the 91st minute and Canavan levelled in the sixth of seven minutes of injury time.
The point means Doncaster remain in 22nd place, four points adrift of League One safety, while Rochdale drop to ninth, eight points behind sixth-placed Millwall.
He said the White House would soon have to decide whether to impose "secondary sanctions" on those nations.
The Trump administration has sought to increase pressure on North Korea over its nuclear and missile activities.
Pyongyang's recent missile tests - which are banned by the UN - have sparked international alarm.
North Korea is believed to be making progress toward developing a ballistic missile capable of reaching the US.
Mr Tillerson's warning came at a hearing at the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.
He said: "We are in a stage where we are moving into this next effort of 'Are we going to have to, in effect, start taking secondary sanctions because countries we have provided information to have not, or are unwilling, or don't have the ability to do that?'"
Washington has no trade links with North Korea, and has been considering sanctioning companies from third countries who deal with the secretive regime of Kim Jong-un in violation of UN resolutions.
However, Mr Tillerson did not name any countries.
He said the North Korea issue would be discussed with China, Pyongyang's major ally, at a high-level talks next week.
Asked whether China has been fulfilling its pledges to put more pressure on North Korea, Mr Tillerson said: "They have taken steps, visible steps that we can confirm."
At the committee hearing, Mr Tillerson also stated that:
Paul Jory, 59, was bitten by a three-inch arachnid, thought to be a false widow, in the living room of his home in St Albans on 5 May.
He says his arm developed a swelling the size of a golf ball and he was put in an induced coma as his body fought a life-threatening infection.
"Without the care I received, I'd be dead," he told the BBC.

How dangerous are false widow spiders?
The father-of-one has undergone eight operations since the infection and has been left with 40% movement in his right arm.
From descriptions he gave, Mr Jory believes he may have been bitten by a venomous false widow spider.
"I was in my living room when I felt a little tickle on the back of my hand - and noticed this strange spider," he said.
"I knew it wasn't nice, the danger signals were ringing loud.
"I kept still to let it crawl up my arm, thinking it would walk off. But it got as far as the inside of my elbow joint - and suddenly bit me," he said.
He described the initial pain as "like an electric shock". The crook of his arm swelled to the size of a golf ball.
Mr Jory, the managing director of a marketing firm in Hertfordshire, went to Watford General hospital, where the last thing he remembers is being put on a "wheelie bed". He was placed in an induced coma - and spent almost five weeks in hospital.
He developed a flesh-eating infection and lost "chunks of muscle and flesh" from his upper arm.
"My notes say I had necrotising fasciitis secondary to a spider bite," he added.
A scar now runs from his wrist to his armpit.
"Everyone knocks the NHS," he said. "But they pulled out all the stops for me. They saved my life."
False widows are cited as Britain's most venomous spiders, but experts say the species is not usually aggressive towards humans and that bites are rare.
They're often mistaken for their more dangerous cousin, the black widow.
Jemma Pethybridge, 19, returned to find baby Ezmai not breathing at her flat in Bordon, Hampshire, in June 2015.
The infant had also apparently been "deliberately shaken" and had suffered rib injuries, Winchester Crown Court was told.
Ezmai's father, Joshua Martin, 19, of Salisbury Road, Alton, denies murder.
Opening the trial for the prosecution, William Mousley QC said Ezmai had been in the care of her father at the couple's home in New Road.
Miss Pethybridge returned from the bathroom after 20 minutes to find her baby lifeless and with "milky vomit" coming from her nose and mouth.
The court heard a recording of the mother's 999 call, during which the call handler advised Mr Martin how to administer chest compressions while they waited for the paramedic to arrive.
Ezmai died after being transferred St George's Hospital, London the following day.
She had a head injury which had caused a subdural haemorrhage and severe brain damage.
She also had bloodshot eyes, "consistent with being shaken", and had eight bruised or fractured ribs, which were not damaged by the chest compressions, the jury was told.
The court heard Mr Martin "trashed" the flat while his partner and daughter were at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, overturning furniture and pulling down curtains.
In interviews with the police, Miss Pethybridge said she believed Mr Martin was mentally younger than his age and had a temper which he sometimes could not control.
Mr Mousley said although no attack was witnessed, there was no other possibility than that Mr Martin had caused Ezmai's injuries.
The trial continues.
The incident happened at about 16:30 on Saturday. No one was hurt.
Police said they were attempting to trace the operator of the remote aircraft, who was within the grounds of the 67m (220ft) high monument at the time.
Officers said the incident was an example of the risks of flying drones in crowded or built-up areas.
Insp Cheryle Cowan said: "While the use of drones is becoming more popular for members of the public when filming and photographing scenic areas or places of interest, it is essential that they are utilised responsibly so as not to cause alarm or injury to other members of the public.
"I would advise that drone operators familiarise themselves with all the appropriate legislation so as to ensure they adhere to existing aviation laws and regulations, and be aware of the areas in our community where drone activity may pose a particular sensitivity."
Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis said there had been a steady flow of people and equipment in the coastal area.
Russia says military equipment is being sent to Syria to help the government combat the so-called Islamic State.
Moscow has been a key ally of President Assad during Syria's bloody civil war, which began in 2011.
"We have seen indications in recent days that Russia has moved people and things into the area around Latakia and the air base there that suggests that it intends to establish some sort of a forward air operating base," Mr Davis said on Monday.
He added that the US was concerned that Russian military moves could come into conflict with US and coalition air strikes that were being conducted in Syria against IS.
US officials also fear that the stepped-up Russian support will fortify the regime of President Bashar al-Assad at a time when it has been losing on the battlefield and will complicate recent efforts to find a political solution to the conflict, the BBC's Barbara Plett Usher in New York reports.
The US comments come just days after Syrian state media reported that two Russian cargo planes with 80 tonnes of humanitarian aid had landed in Syria.
The planes reportedly flew into an air base near Latakia - a stronghold of President Assad.
Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Maj Gen Igor Konashenkov said the plane was carrying materials for setting up a tent camp for refugees.
The Kremlin has dismissed any military build-up, although Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said last week that Russia would send more help to Syria if requested.
"Russia is sending planes to Syria with both military equipment in accordance with current contracts and humanitarian aid," he said. "Russia is not taking any additional steps."
US officials have said Russia may be giving President Assad extra military support because he has suffered substantial territorial losses to rebels.
The Syrian government recently lost control of a key air base in the north-eastern province of Idlib.
Earlier this month, Bulgaria refused to allow Russian aircraft to cross its air space amid fears that Russia was sending extra military support to Syria.
Russia later said it had been given permission to fly over Iranian territory en route to Syria.
Last week, officials in Washington quoted by Reuters said Moscow had sent more aircraft and two tank landing ships to Russia's naval base in the Syrian coastal city of Tartus. They also said a small number of naval infantry forces had been deployed.
While Russia has backed the Syrian government and provided it with arms, the US wants to see President Assad removed.
The war between President Assad's regime and various rebel groups has so far killed at least 240,000 people and displaced millions.
Health minister Philip Dunne said prescription charges were expected to rise "broadly in line with inflation".
In other parts of the UK, prescriptions are free.
The price of dental care will also increase, with the lowest-cost band one treatment rising by 90p and band three treatment increasing by £10.60.
Mr Dunne said the cost of prescription prepayment certificates (PPC), which save money for those who need to pay for regular NHS prescriptions in England, would not change.
The three-month PPC, if you need more than three prescribed items in three months, remains at £29.10 and a 12-month PPC at £104.
Mr Dunne told MPs: "Existing arrangements for prescription charge exemptions will remain in place, principally covering those with certain medical conditions like cancer, epilepsy and diabetes, pregnant women and new mothers, children under 16 and anyone over 60, and those on a low income."
The Department of Health said 90% of prescription items were free on the NHS in England.
The dental charge increases form part of a two-year settlement announced last year.
In 2017-18 a band one course of treatment and urgent treatment will increase by 90p from £19.70 to £20.60.
For band two treatment, the price will increase by £2.40 from £53.90 to £56.30 and for band three treatments, a £10.60 increase will see the price rise from £233.70 to £244.30.
"The maximum band three charge is for the approximately 5% of treatments that include items such as crowns or bridges," Mr Dunne said.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "Dental charges have always represented an important contribution to the overall cost of dental services - but we are ensuring that those who are unable to pay, including children, nursing mothers, and those on certain benefits remain totally exempt from charges."
He said those who did not qualify for these exemptions could still be eligible for full or partial help from the NHS Low Income Scheme.
But the Swansea-bred pundit says if they are going to sack Guidolin, it must happen before January.
They are a point above the relegation zone after Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Manchester City.
Hartson told BBC Radio Wales: "I genuinely feel he should be given another six or seven games."
The former Celtic striker says Guidolin's stewardship after succeeding Garry Monk and replacing interim boss Alan Curtis in 2015-16 underlined his case to stay in charge.
"He earned that time - steering Swansea away from the danger zone with some terrific results at the back of last season," said Hartson.
However, Hartson says even if the club are intent on replacing the Italian, money must be made available to bring in new players in the January transfer window.
"If a manager is going to come to Swansea, he's going to want money to spend and I think there will be some money, either for Guidolin, if they keep him, or if a new manager comes in in January.
"The club need to make a decision before then. Do they trust [Guidolin] to bring in the right players in terms of the recruitment?
"If they don't feel he's the right man, then the new manager is going to want those funds to come into Swansea in January."
Hartson's fellow former Wales international Ryan Giggs, Italian Gianfranco Zola and American Bob Bradley have been linked with the Swansea job.
The Swans host Liverpool on Saturday, followed by a trip to Arsenal and Hartson says they need to rediscover their playing identity.
"Those fixtures are scaring the fans to death at the minute and scaring the team and the manager and the staff, whereas two or three seasons ago Swansea welcomed all-comers to the Liberty," said Hartson.
"We were quite confident going away at tough grounds and getting results and I just think at this moment in time the team is lacking that little bit of identity.
"I think we need a bit more competition at the top of the field from [£15.5m record signing] Borja Baston, who's only made the odd appearance so far this season.
Hartson also cited a lack of pace in wide areas and urged the manager to settle on his team and tactics.
"I'm not too sure whether Guidolin actually knows his strongest side," he said.
"He needs to do that quickly and Swansea need to get back to having their identity where they have pace, they keep the ball.
"We used to pass teams to death at the Liberty. We would pass and pass and pass and always have more of the ball in terms of stats than the opposition."

Wirral Council leader Phil Davies confirmed a bid would be in place before the government's deadline of 4 September.
Speaking on behalf of all six council leaders, Mr Davies said it was a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity".
A devolution deal could see a new mayor for Liverpool and the wider region.
The measures would also give the authorities in Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley and St. Helens - as well as Halton in Cheshire - greater control over funding in areas such as transport, housing and planning.
However, some leaders in the city region are not thought to share Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson's desire to have a mayor for the whole area.
They have previously insisted they wanted a referendum on whether to have a directly elected mayor.
Mr Davies, who chairs the Liverpool City Region group, said confirmation of the bid was "just the start of a process" and there would be further debate over how any deal would work.
The chancellor announced in the Budget that the government was working on deals to extend the idea of the "Northern Powerhouse" to Liverpool City Region, Sheffield City Region, and Leeds and West Yorkshire, in return for the creation of directly elected mayors.
Mr Davies told BBC Radio Merseyside: "We will be setting out a broad set of key themes we want to talk to the government about.
"This will then involve a pretty intensive negotiation with government around the detail."
Asked if a deal would genuinely give the region more control over its own destiny, Mr Davies said: "The test will be what we're able to negotiate over the next few months.
"I think we need to come up with a really ambitious package."
The Labour leader highlighted manifesto measures not included, including grammar school expansion and cuts to pensioners' winter fuel payments.
Boosted by his general election gains, Mr Corbyn said Labour was "a government in waiting".
Theresa May congratulated Mr Corbyn on coming "a good second" to her.
The Labour leader spoke as MPs began debating the Queen's Speech, which was dominated by legislation needed for the UK's departure from the EU.
Several key manifesto pledges have been dropped, with the Tories left without a majority since the general election.
The Labour leader was barracked by Conservative MPs angry at his refusal to let them ask questions during his speech.
He highlighted some of his party's election gains, saying: "From Cardiff to Canterbury, from Stockton to Kensington, people chose hope over fear and they sent an unequivocal message that austerity must be brought to an end."
Mr Corbyn singled out police cuts, saying in a dig at Mrs May: "I hope the current prime minister will correct the mistakes of the former home secretary."
The Labour leader called for emergency funding to be made available for councils to check cladding and install sprinklers following the Grenfell Tower fire, which he described as a "tragedy and an outrage".
"Something has gone horrifically wrong" he said, adding that the North Kensington community were "demanding answers and they are entitled to those answers".
The prime minister apologised for the response to the fire, saying it had been a "failure of the state, local and national, to help people when they needed it most".
Each family whose home was destroyed is receiving a payment to enable them to buy food, clothes and other essentials, she said.
Mrs May also hit back at Labour MPs' criticism of her election performance - one, Kevin Brennan, described her as the "interim prime minister" - by pointing out the Conservatives had won the most votes and the most seats.
Mr Corbyn, she said, had "fought a spirited campaign" and had managed to defy predictions to come "a good second".
There have been a number of serious nuclear incidents since the 1950s. Below are details of the most serious.
A fault in the cooling system at the nuclear complex, near Chelyabinsk, results in a chemical explosion and the release of an estimated 70 to 80 tonnes of radioactive materials into the air. Thousands of people are exposed to radiation and thousands more are evacuated from their homes. It is categorised as Level 6 on the seven-point International Nuclear Events Scale (INES).
A fire in the graphite-core reactor, in Cumbria, results in a limited release of radioactivity (INES Level 5). The sale of milk from nearby farms is banned for a month. The reactor cannot be salvaged and is buried in concrete. A second reactor on the site is also shut down and the site decontaminated. Subsequently part of the site is renamed Sellafield and new nuclear reactors are built.
A steam explosion in reactor SL-1 during preparation for start-up destroys the small US Army experimental reactor and kills three operators.
A cooling malfunction causes a partial meltdown in one reactor, resulting in a limited release of radioactivity (INES Level 5).
The site's first reactor (TMI One) on the Susquehanna river was closed for refuelling. The second was at full capacity when two malfunctions occurred: first there was a release of radioactive water, then radioactive gas was detected on the perimeter. No deaths or injuries were reported.
It is considered the United States' worst nuclear accident and led to major safety changes in the industry.
One of four reactors explodes after an experiment at the power plant (INES Level 7). The resulting fire burns for nine days and at least 100 times more radiation than the atom bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima is released into the air. Radioactive deposits are found in nearly every country in the northern hemisphere.
Two people die in the explosion and another 28 from acute radiation sickness in the immediate aftermath. Some experts predict thousands of extra cancer deaths as a result of the disaster.
A huge cover, known as the New Safe Confinement, is being built over the existing sarcophagus. It is expected to cover the site by 2013.
A tank at a uranium and plutonium factory inside the plant explodes, resulting in radioactivity being dispersed into the atmosphere contaminating an area of over 120 sq km (INES Level 4). A number of villages are evacuated and left permanently uninhabitable.
Workers break safety regulations by mixing dangerously large amounts of treated uranium in metal buckets, setting off a nuclear reaction (INES Level 4).
Two of the workers later die from their injuries, and more than 40 others are treated for exposure to high levels of radiation.
Hundreds of residents living nearby were evacuated from their homes while the nuclear reaction continued, but were allowed home two days later.
Five people die in an accident at the plant in the Fukui province (INES Level 1). Seven people are also injured when hot water and steam leaks from a broken pipe.
Officials insist that no radiation leaked from the plant, and there is no danger to the surrounding area.
A powerful tsunami generated by a magnitude-9.0 earthquake out at sea slams into the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, damaging four of six reactors at the site.
A series of fires are set off, after cooling systems fail. Venting hydrogen gas from the reactors causes explosions, forcing engineers to use seawater in an effort to cool overheating reactor cores.
Originally classified as INES Level 5, the severity was raised to INES Level 7 on 12 April 2011 when a new estimate suggested higher levels of radiation than previously thought had leaked from the plant.
Despite the classification, the incident is said to be much less severe than Chernobyl, and officials insist there is only a minimal risk to public health.
One person is killed and four are injured - one with serious burns - after an explosion in a furnace used to melt down nuclear waste and recycle it for energy. No radiation leaks nor damage to the plant are detected.
John Atkinson, 28, from Radcliffe in Bury, was among 22 people who died in the suicide bombing at Manchester Arena on 22 May.
Scores of people attended the service, which took place in his home town.
The former support worker, who helped stroke victims and people with autism, was described as a "music lover" who was "one in a million".
A white carriage, pulled by four horses, brought his body to the service at St Thomas and St John Church.
"He was so well thought of in the workplace and a genuine role model to the people he supported," Revd Carol Hayden said at the service.
John loved music; he loved going to concerts and had seen many of the great divas.
If there was someone he wanted to go and see he would have the family on standby with laptops and mobile phones at the ready trying to buy tickets.
He would think nothing of queuing for hours to buy tickets to see a star. It wasn't only the music he enjoyed, it was the whole experience ...the crowds and the atmosphere.
But the greatest love and passion of John's life was his family. He was caring and thoughtful - he never left anyone out.
Relatives of support worker Mr Atkinson said his "senseless death has left our family broken-hearted".
A fundraising page set up by his friend Hayley Dickenson to pay for his funeral raised more than £7,000.
In an online tribute, Ms Dickenson said: "John was one in a million and loved by so many."
Mr Atkinson was said by his family to have been very proud of the fact that he lost eight stones in weight.
Mourners gathered in quiet contemplation in the leafy church grounds before the sound of hooves signalled the entrance of four white horses bringing John Atkinson's coffin.
Many mourners came in colourful clothes - some wearing T-shirts bearing Manchester's worker bee symbol, which has come to prominence since the attack - others in bright yellow shirts with the words "our angel" on them.
The coffin was emblazoned with happy images from John Atkinson's life, symbolising the man who relatives described as "the life and soul of the family".
During the private service, songs by Whitney Houston and Westlife were played in his memory.
When the service ended, people clapped and tearful mourners said their final goodbyes as the colourful coffin was placed back in the carriage to wind its way through Radcliffe, a town subdued with sorrow.
Graeme Yorston will have been with Principality for 11 years, and chief executive for nearly five.
He will remain in his post until a successor is found and is resigning in order to spend more time with his wife and family.

Hatfield Colliery, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, was due to shut in the summer of 2016 but the move has been brought forward unexpectedly.
Micheal O'Sullivan, spokesman for the colliery, said: "We can't find a market for the coal, so there is no point in producing it."
The pit has been run by an employee-owned trust since 2013.
Hatfield along with Kellingley in North Yorkshire and Thoresby in Nottinghamshire was the last of the UK's deep seam mines.
Mr O'Sullivan said workers were told the news as they came on shift at the mine on Monday evening and there was sufficient money to pay all "contractual undertakings" for the workers.
He said the closure was "in no way due to failings of the workforce or management".
External factors such as low coal prices, a switch to renewable energy and large coal stocks have made a set of "almost unprecedented circumstances", he added.
An official winding-up petition is to be issued on Tuesday.
The BBC understands work to backfill the mine shafts is set to begin on Friday.
In May, a government grant of £20m was aimed to provide Hatfield Colliery Partnership with support until its planned closure in August 2016.
Last year the colliery also secured a £4m loan from the National Union of Mineworkers

Emma Carpenter, 17, of Nottingham, had been treated at a unit for teenagers with eating disorders before her death in hospital, on 22 December 2006.
When the teenager was referred she weighed about four stone (25kg) and had a body mass index (BMI) of 10.
According to the NHS, an ideal BMI for an adult is between 18.5 and 24.9.
Emma died of organ failure 10 days after being admitted to the intensive care unit at Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham.
Dr Timothy Bowling, a consultant gastroenterologist at Nottingham Universities Hospital Trust, told the coroner that if Emma had been referred to hospital when her BMI was 12 she would have survived.
The inquest also heard how the alcoholism of Emma's mother was "inextricably linked" to the girl's condition.
Glyn Flowerdew, Emma's grandfather, told the court that the teenager had lived with him and his wife for about a year before her death because her mother was an alcoholic and showed signs of suicidal behaviour.
Questions over the identity of his granddaughter's biological father had also caused concern, Dr Flowerdew said.
The inquest at Nottingham Coroner's Court is expected to last two weeks.
The image, which shows a young boy hunched over a sewing machine making Union Jack bunting, disappeared from the side of a Poundland shop last week.
It is now for sale in Miami, with an estimate of £320,000 - £452,000.
Councillor Alan Strickland said there is "lots of anger" at the removal, and is campaigning for the work's return.
"Residents have been really shocked and really astonished," he told the BBC. "Banksy gave that piece of art to our community, and people came from all over London to see it.
He said residents are "disappointed" that a "piece of art that was given freely has been taken away from them and sold for an enormous profit".
Fine Art Auctions in Miami described the work as "stencil and spray paint on render with additional jubilee bunting".
It rejected suggestions that the mural was stolen, saying the listing came from a "well-known collector", who had signed a contract to say "everything was above board".
The work appeared in Whymark Avenue, Wood Green, north London, in May last year. It is thought to be a commentary on the use of sweat-shop labour.
Professor Paul Gough, an academic who studies street art, said it was likely to be a genuine Banksy, who works under a veil of anonymity, and rarely takes credit for his art.
Poundland welcomed the arrival of the piece, saying they were "fans of Banksy", but rejecting any suggestion they were the target of his satire.
Tim McDonnell, the store's retail director, said: "Poundland has a clear defined code of conduct for all our suppliers and a strong ethical stance on all labour issues."
Councillor Strickland said residents noticed scaffolding go up around the store last Wednesday.
"The scaffolding and tarpaulins came down on Friday, and on Saturday residents noticed that, where the Banksy had been, there was now a hole in the wall."
The chain said it was not responsible for "either selling or removing the Banksy mural," saying it did not own the building.
The owners of the property have been traced, and Haringey council is trying to contact them to establish whether the work was taken legitimately.
Residents are also organising an email campaign, asking the auction company to abandon the sale.
Banksy's work has been at the centre of a number of thefts over the years.
In May 2010, two pieces were stolen from a gallery in London, after a man used a road sign to smash a glass window at the front of the building.
A year later, a piece known as Sperm Alarm was ripped off the wall of a hotel in Central London, and appeared on eBay for £17,000. It was never recovered.
Jake Cooper gave the hosts the lead, heading home an Oliver Norwood cross.
But Hull levelled shortly afterwards as influential midfielder Tom Huddlestone put Abel Hernandez through to fire low into the centre of goal.
Huddlestone was again the provider as he found Robertson, who struck home from outside the box for a vital goal.
It was Hull's first victory away from home since February and one which guaranteed them a top-six finish with three games remaining.
Bruce's men were top of the Championship in February before a poor run of two wins in nine matches saw them slip down the table.
But their hopes of securing automatic promotion are still alive as fourth-placed Tigers - eight points adrift of Brighton in third and second-placed Burnley - have a game in hand over their rivals.
Reading's form continues to tumble as the season nears its conclusion with this their fourth successive league defeat.
In front of 12,949 fans, Reading's lowest of Championship season, the hosts started the brighter.
With the score at 1-1, Reading thought they had won a 58th-minute penalty when referee Fred Graham pointed to the spot after Harry Maguire appeared to have fouled Deniss Rakels.
But Hull's players persuaded Graham to consult with an assistant and the referee then changed his mind, awarding a corner instead.
Reading continued to pile on the pressure, but it was Hull who took the three points as Robertson popped up from left-back to clinch the winner.
Reading manager Brian McDermott told BBC Radio Berkshire:

"We need a break, we've lost four on the bounce now, it's a horrible little run we're on.
"All we can do is dig in for the next three days, it's hard being a football manager at times like this.
"It's tough on all of us but we'll come through this adversity and be stronger as a result as this.
"We started the game really brightly but at 2-1 up Hull had nous in their team to see the game out, maybe we need a bit of nous."
Hull manager Steve Bruce:
"We got off to a horrible start but the response was good. Overall, the game could have gone either way.
"It was a typical Championship match but it's gone our way. It was a much better performance from us."
The 30-year-old was an underwhelming seventh in the long jump at London's Anniversary Games on Saturday - her final event before the Olympics.
"I haven't got the world lead and I didn't compete in Gotzis," she said.
"There are quite a few girls who have upped their game this year. I don't feel like the favourite."
It was at May's multi-event meeting in the Austrian Alpine town of Gotzis that Canada's Brianne Theisen-Eaton - who Ennis-Hill beat to win the world title in Beijing last year - recorded the best heptathlon score of 2016, with a total of 6,765 points.

Domestic rival Katarina Johnson-Thompson out-performed Ennis-Hill at the Olympic Stadium this weekend, winning the long jump ahead of world silver medallist Shara Proctor on Saturday after achieving an outdoor personal best of 1.95m in the high jump on Friday.
Ennis-Hill is hopeful of rising to the occasion when the heptathlon gets under way in Brazil on 12 August.
Her own personal best came four years ago with a score of 6,955 en route to Olympic gold. in London.
"I love championships," she added. "That's when I want to be at my best. I love those environments. It brings the best out of me.
"Last year was just up and down with injuries. To have improved on last year and feeling the way I am now, I feel good, I feel healthy. I'd have taken this."
Coach Toni Minichiello said that his charge had been performing much better in training than she showed at the Anniversary Games, adding that he was "happy I'm not travelling back to Sheffield with her today because she'll be frustrated".
Johnson-Thompson, meanwhile, said: "Jess is such a strong competitor I know she'll do better than that at the Olympics.
"Gold will not be an easy job for anyone and I've got to step up to the competition."

Saturday's 46-22 defeat of Munster in Dublin resulted in the Scarlets' first league success for 14 years.
Pivac, who has been in charge for three seasons, has assembled a coaching team that includes Stephen Jones, Byron Hayward and Ioan Cunningham,
"I know Wales have talked about playing a similar sort of style in the future and I hope they do," he said.
"Wales can play a great brand of rugby and I am sure they will going forward."
Former Wales outside-half Jonathan Davies has suggested the national team are not allowed to play like the Scarlets, who have been moulded by backs coach Jones.
"We have some players that have a lot of X-factor but it's about getting them the ball," said Pivac.
"You have to have the skillset. They understand their roles and are disciplined and have come a long way and it's not happened overnight.
"You are seeing some of the players representing Wales representing the Scarlets who are playing very well.
"We know they can play this sort of game and they are showing what they can do.
"We have some great athletes in Wales, not only at the Scarlets but also at the Ospreys, Blues and the Dragons."

Pivac says Scarlets' Pro12 success is the result of "three years of hard work" since his arrival from Auckland.
"You inherit staff and players and have an idea on how you want to play the game," he said.
"It takes time and if there are guys who can't perform the roles you have to move them on.
"It took a couple of years to get the squad that we wanted."
Scarlets' chances of winning Pro12 seemed slim when they lost their first three matches of the season.
"We talked about the start of the season a lot and if we hadn't have been making line breaks and chances we would have been concerned," said Pivac.
"Jonathan Davies and Rhys Patchell came in and we had our internationals come back in after the New Zealand tour, so it was probably understandable we weren't hitting our straps at the start.
"But we worked hard and enjoyed the style of rugby we were playing and we have the athletes to play that style of game."
The Scarlets will have players to replace next season, with Wales and Lions back Liam Williams heading to Saracens and Canada wing DTH van der Merwe moving to Newcastle. Both players scored in the Pro12 final.
Pivac knows replacing Williams might be the hardest task.
"He is a real competitor," said Pivac. "If we had 15 of him, we would be unbeatable.
He is that sort of character and someone you want in your group, he lifts players around him.
"He got named as British Lion but you would not know that because his focus has been with the Scarlets.
"We are going to miss him. It's hard to put into words the contribution he has put into this club but I have a sneaking suspicion he will be back.
"I hope he gets the opportunity with the Lions because you saw what he did with Wales in New Zealand last summer. He offers everything Warren Gatland will be looking for."
Scarlets will return to Wales on Sunday for a homecoming celebration.
Conor McGregor is one of the rising stars of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
In the UFC, competitors fight inside an eight-sided cage using various combat styles to try to knockout or submit their opponent.
McGregor is headlining the organisation's Dublin Fight Night, which is being held on Saturday at the city's O2 arena.
The event sold out almost immediately and much of that is credited to the Irish man's star power.
"This is what kept me up at night," he said, during a break from training.
"Those thoughts of headlining a card and bringing the UFC back to my home country and showing Ireland what this sport is all about.
"Not a lot of people here knew about this sport before me - now everybody knows."
In interviews, Conor McGregor is outspoken, charismatic and supremely self-confident.
It is a combination that has made him a favourite among fans and a target for other fighters.
Rival featherweights are lining up to challenge McGregor, well aware that his bouts will attract attention.
All of that makes him a valuable asset to an organisation like the UFC, where the business is selling fights.
"I want them all to want to fight me," he insisted.
"It creates interest. It creates drama. It creates big fight nights.
"It is exactly how I planned it."
In Ireland, McGregor is now a chat show regular, he has been the subject of a documentary and his name helped ensure that the UFC's Dublin Fight Night was an immediate sell-out.
But it is in America where the big money is and the man, whose nickname is 'The Notorious', knows it.
He believes a quick defeat of his opponent, Diego Brandao, could put him in line for an opportunity to win the UFC's featherweight championship.
"I imagine the title shot will be in Vegas - I almost feel the title shot is already won," said McGregor, who seems to have nothing but belief in himself.
"I am already picturing a stadium (in Dublin) for a title defence.
"I have put in the work. I have put in the time. I feel untouchable."
However, success in the UFC, which is regarded as the premier league of mixed martial arts, is anything but easy.
Competitors are expected to know a wide-range of fighting techniques including boxing, wrestling and jiu jitsu.
And bouts can be gruelling affairs.
Many MMA supporters say the UFC's fighters are among the best-conditioned athletes in any sport.
But the British Medical Association (BMA) is not impressed by such claims.
It has called repeatedly for the sport to be banned.
"Every sport has risks but mixed martial arts is human cockfighting," said Dr Peter Maguire of the BMA.
"The aim is to do as much damage to your opponent as possible.
"There are serious health risks."
The UFC insisted that competitors are well protected.
It provides health insurance for its fighters and doctors are always present when bouts are taking place.
It also points to the various rules and regulations in place to try to ensure fighters are not injured. Although, inevitably, some are hurt.
"In 21 years, the UFC has never had a serious injury," said John Kavanagh, who trains UFC fighters at the Straight Blast Gym in Dublin.
"There's not a lot of professional sports that can say that in 20 plus years they have never had a broken back or a fatality."
Throughout the Straight Blast Gym, there are people training in the hope of breaking into the UFC.
James Gallagher had his first amateur MMA fight at the age of 13.
He turns 18 in October and he hopes to turn professional shortly afterwards.
But already he is training alongside UFC fighters like Cathal Pendred and Conor McGregor.
"Within the next year I believe I will be in the UFC," said James, who travels from Strabane in County Tyrone every week to train at the SBG Ireland gym.
"It is such an honour to train with guys who are there - where I want to be."
James is far from the youngest hopeful. There are several children's martial arts classes taught here.
One of the students is Nathan Kelly, who at the age of nine, is already a jiu-jitsu and kickboxing champion.
He said his hope is to eventually become the UFC's youngest ever champion.
"Jiu jitsu is going to be in the Olympics. Kickboxing is in the Olympics," he said.
"I want to get that UFC gold and an Olympic medal."
Conor McGregor - who openly says he is in the sport for "the money and the gold" - believes he is close to that goal he shares with Nathan.
That inevitably means there is pressure on him this weekend and he has a nervous energy around him.
At one stage, he connected his MP3 player to the gym's stereo to let people hear the music he plans to play as he walks into the arena.
"Are you getting goosebumps?" he asked.
To an extent, McGregor is playing the showman but a look of anticipation can be seen on his face.
He knows that he must be impressive on Saturday to have a hope of fighting for the world featherweight championship.
The UFC's marketing team may well be just as anxious about the contest.
The organisation needs well-known fighters to continue its aggressive expansion outside of its core business base in America.
And Conor McGregor is undoubtedly one of its most marketable names, particularly in Europe.
A title fight would mean a lot to both of them.
The couple went by boat to the city hall building where the brief procedure was conducted.
At the weekend, a host of famous guests including Matt Damon and Bill Murray attended a lavish wedding reception for the couple.
Clooney's publicist broke the news of their nuptials in a brief statement to the press on Saturday.
The couple emerged from the town hall some 10 minutes after their arrival and were whisked away in a water taxi, surrounded by other boats and watched by well-wishers.
Clooney was dressed in a charcoal grey suit, while Alamuddin wore a smart-casual white outfit and a wide-brimmed sunhat.
At city hall, the pair were officially married under Italian law by former mayor of Rome Walter Veltroni, a long-time friend of the film star.
Earlier in the day, he was seen getting ready for the ceremony at the Hotel Cipriani, where the wedding party have been staying.
The couple were engaged in April.
Clooney was previously married to Talia Balsam, who he divorced in 1993.
One of the world's most recognisable actors, the American has two Oscars to his name: for best supporting actor in Syriana (2006) and for best picture as producer of Argo (2013).

The life-sized black-and-white graffiti work of two policemen kissing was sold to an anonymous buyer in Miami.
One of the artist's most famous pieces, it was spray-painted on the side of the Prince Albert pub on Trafalgar Street in Brighton in 2004.
Several Banksy works removed from the walls of buildings have now been sold.
New York art dealer Stephan Keszler said he has sold 11 original Banksy pieces in the last three years and that he was satisfied with the price this one fetched.
By Will GompertzArts editor
If you happen to own a wall which Banksy has used as a canvas for one of his art works - I should imagine you are perfectly within your rights to hack it out and sell it.
The issue is more with the buyer who is complicit in owning a piece of work whose spirit and intentions were to be a site specific, social comment in the public domain and not designed for a private collection in a smart mansion or white walled modern art gallery.
You could argue that not only is the art work diminished by its removal from its context but also its intrinsic value is lost.
Two other pieces - Bandaged Heart and Crazy Horse Car Door, created by the Bristol-based artist during last year's residence in New York - failed to reach their reserve prices.
Last year London's Haringey Council backed an unsuccessful campaign to return Slave Labour (Bunting Boy) to the wall of a pound shop in Wood Green.
The "symbol of local pride" had appeared on the north London wall just before the Diamond Jubilee celebrations in May 2012, only to be sold to a US collector through Keszler for £750,000.
Earlier this month events company Sincura Group, which controversially removed another Banksy mural entitled No Ball Games in Tottenham last year, removed another piece, Girl With Balloon, from a wall in east London.
They said it would be restored and exhibited before being sold.
According to Brighton newspaper The Argus, Kissing Coppers was removed in 2011 and flown to the US. It has since been replaced by an imitation covered in Perspex.
Banksy, who uses graffiti and stencils to make comments about society, first appeared in the 1990s. Despite worldwide notoriety, his true identity remains a mystery.
Critics have argued the artworks should not be removed from their original locations as it takes away from the artist's original intent.
Executive pay has escalated far faster than average pay. In 2000, bosses of top companies earned 47 times more.
IDS said a director now typically earns £2.43m a year. Official figures put the average annual salary at £27,000.
This year bosses' pay rose by more than a fifth, IDS said.
IDS said the rise was driven by a 44% rise in share awards, which were given as long-term incentives.
Bonuses were also up, by 12%, although basic salaries were £822,300, up by a far more muted 2.5%. That, though, is still some three times the size of average wage rises.
The latest official figures show that, excluding bonuses, average earnings in the May to July period rose by 0.7% from a year earlier; including bonuses, they rose by 0.6%.
The IDS report shows that the long-term impact of years of high earnings growth has widened the pay differential between FTSE 100 chief executives and the rest of the workforce.
It found that between 2000 and 2014 the median total earnings for FTSE 100 bosses rose by 278%, while the corresponding rise in total earnings for full-time employees was 48%.
Steve Tatton, editor of the IDS report, said: "The pattern of pay growth highlights the complex make-up of directors' remuneration.
"Salary rises may be modest but this can be more than made up for by the receipt of incentive payments. When such incentives pay out, they can pay out substantial sums, giving a significant boost to directors' earnings."
The best paid chief executives were in media, marketing and telecoms, while the lowest were in retail and distribution.
A quarter were in connection with Championship matches according to the Home Office.
In the Premier League, Newcastle United fans had the most active football banning orders - 124 - prior to the club's relegation.
Wolverhampton Wanderers had 52 bans in force, the most in the Championship.
The figures revealed there were 1,895 football-related arrests in England and Wales in 2015-16, a 1% rise on the year before.
The most common causes for arrest were public disorder and alcohol offences.
However, alcohol arrests have more than halved in the five seasons covered by home office data, down from 800 in 2011-12 to 373 in 2015-16.
Public disorder and alcohol accounted for the most arrests.
The figures showed more arrests in the Championship for alcohol offences, violent disorder, possession of pyrotechnics, criminal damage and offensive weapons than in the Premier League.
Championship side Birmingham City's fans were arrested most with 74 of the league's total of 672. Nearly half, 36, were for public disorder.
Manchester City fans made up the largest number of arrests with 66 of the Premier League's 707. Of those, 26 were for public disorder and 15 for violent disorder.
Out of 56 arrests of Premier League club fans for pitch incursions, 15 of them were Sunderland supporters.
The club also accounted for four of the league's eight arrests for racist and indecent chanting.
There were two arrests of Championship side supporters for the same offence, one a Bolton Wanderers fan and the other Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Liverpool saw the highest number of arrests for possession of pyrotechnics, nine of the total 39 in the Premier League. In the Championship there were 49 arrests for the offence.
The overall number of football banning orders stood at 2,085 as of 1 August 2016, down 4% on the year before due in part to the expiry of those imposed in previous seasons.
Wolverhampton Wanderers fans were handed the most new bans in the top two leagues with 21 imposed in 2015-16.
The club's facilities and safety manager Steve Sutton said the club's Molineux stadium was a "safe and enjoyable place to watch football with over 500,000 fans passing through the stadium's turnstiles every season".
He said: "Banning orders can be put in place for many different reasons, not just relating to actual incidents at home or away stadia.
"Wolves work very closely with West Midlands Police in taking a pro-active approach to pre-empting any issues, as highlighted by the banning order figures.
He said during the 2015-16 season, there were four recorded home supporter arrests at Molineux itself and the season "had to go on record as one of the most pleasing in this respect in recent years."
The official figures, including 24 hours before and after matches, show that overall there were 31 arrests of Wolves fans. Eight of them were connected with home matches and 23 away.
Sunderland fans had the highest number of new bans in the Premier League in 2015-16 with 14 imposed.
Rival Newcastle added to its tally with 12, the second highest.
Paul Weir, head of safety at Sunderland AFC, said: "We take a zero tolerance approach to any football related crime and disorder. It is too easy to use these arrest and banning order figures to suggest that our supporters are worse than any other set of supporters as not all police forces, clubs and indeed magistrates adopt the same positive approach we do."
There were 617 active orders in the Premier League.
The figures were as of the start of the season and include clubs that have been relegated with those who won promotion included in the lower league statistics.
Football banning orders can last between three and 10 years and prevent an individual attending matches at home and abroad.
Breaching an order is punishable by up to six months in prison or a fine of £5,000, or both.
Fans can have more than one order imposed.
In the Championship, Burnley had proportionately the highest number of bans based on the average number of fans at home matches.
Its tally of 48 works out as 29 for every 10,000 home attendances. However, it only added two to its overall number from the previous season.
In notes accompanying the statistics the Home Office said: "There has been a steady decline in the total number of football banning orders in the last four seasons, falling by almost a quarter (-646) from a high of 2,731 on 9 November 2012."
Speaking on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire, Amanda Jacks, case worker for the Football Supporters' Federation, said magistrates needed to consider all the circumstances of an offence before imposing an order.
She said: "You can get a football banning order for an offence 24 hours either side of a football match.
"Whilst there are undoubtedly people who do have banning orders for violent disorder and affray, many more have them for non-violent offences because magistrates do not apply the tests they should be applying."
Supt Sarah Pitt from Northumbria Police said: "Banning orders are part of a whole suite of action we can take around football. We take each individual case on its merit to put in front of the court."
Policing minister Brandon Lewis said the the figures showed "tough" laws to ban troublemakers were working.
Newcastle United have been approached for comment.
The 36-year-old's future had been in doubt as the team considered whether he had done enough to earn a fourth consecutive season with the team.
They have decided that he is the best option as support to four-time world champion Vettel, who leads their team.
It will be a seventh year at Ferrari for the Finn, who won their last drivers' title in 2007.
Raikkonen's second run with Ferrari has been up and down - he was comprehensively outperformed by his first team-mate Fernando Alonso in 2014 and by Vettel in 2015.
Raikkonen has again generally been behind Vettel this season but has shown some improved form and this was enough to persuade them to retain him for at least another year.
The decision was also partially based on the lack of availability of top-line replacements.
The team were very interested in Red Bull drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, but both are under contract to their existing team for at least another two years.
Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz and Force India's Sergio Perez were also on their list but are also under contract to their existing teams and would have had to be bought out of those deals had Ferrari decided they wanted them.
"I think it was the right call," said Vettel. "We know our primary target is to catch up so we need to be all aligned and pushing in the same direction. With Kimi, there is no politics. We put our own egos aside, which is good for the team."
"I was worried that everyone would be really nerdy and posh," says Freya Pryce, describing her fears as she arrived at Oxford University in 2011.
Freya, who left with a first in human sciences last summer, says she was doubtful when teachers at her Aberystwyth comprehensive school first suggested she apply.
"I wasn't keen to start with. I had negative ideas about it. I thought it was elitist."
But an open day at the university was "a very positive experience", and the human sciences course, which combines a diverse array of subjects from genetics to sociology "was a big draw".
Once she started, she was aware of a social mix which still did not reflect the general population and shocked by the continued existence of "rich boys' clubs" where members are chosen based on wealth and social connections - but there were also "people from all sorts of backgrounds who were really friendly, open-minded and fun".
Sleep suffered in her first year as she struggled to juggle a heavy academic workload and a frenetic social life.
Now she believes her degree is helping her find work in her chosen field of international development and sustainability.
Freya's initial scepticism about Oxford is not uncommon among some state-school sixth-formers, according to a university spokeswoman, leading to great efforts to improve diversity.
"The idea that 'Oxford isn't the kind of place for me' is still something we need to address," said the spokeswoman.
This year almost 60% of Oxford's intake from state schools - the highest in 40 years.
At Cambridge the figure is 62% - up from just over half a decade ago.
"Before we uncork the champagne, remember 93% of pupils are in state schools," says Ian Bauckham, executive head of a non-selective Kent secondary that sends "a trickle" of students to Oxbridge each year.
Mr Bauckham was himself a state-school student who went to Cambridge and graduated with a first.
He admits finding it hard to start with. "I had never mixed with people who had the confidence and social advantage of many people there."
But once he graduated, he says having been to Cambridge helped him progress in his chosen career of teaching.
Mr Bauckham says his school aims to identify students with Oxbridge potential early, mentioning it to them as soon as Year 10.
"It can open doors. These are highly regarded courses, often involving top researchers in their field," he tells them.
He says preparing his students, who often come from families with no history of university, let alone elite universities, can be "hard work".
"A lot of the selection is done largely on the basis of interviews which require confidence and poise to do well."
He fears the process can be weighted against comprehensive students, with some admissions tutors subconsciously preferring students similar to themselves.
"Students will need to be able to debate, cope with cut and thrust and respond to unexpected challenges, such as to have done a greater depth and breadth of reading beyond A-level specifications.
"Pupils from elite public schools are imbibing this from friends and families from an early age."
Mr Bauckham says he has never met anyone who says they regret having gone to Oxford or Cambridge - but socially it can be hard.
"If you come from an ordinary family and a comprehensive school and then you meet people from Eton, Harrow, brimming over with confidence, as an 18-year-old you are on a steep learning curve.
"Some say, 'I would probably have had more fun at Sheffield University but now I have an Oxbridge degree.'"
This year has seen the highest number of applications to Oxford, with 19,500 applying for 3,500 places.
At Cambridge there have been 16,719 applications for about 3,400 places.
These figures just add to the aura of Oxbridge.
These are all top students competing for places, according to the Oxford spokeswoman: "Good grades get you to the starting line, but aren't enough on their own to guarantee a place.
"There is now a wider mix of backgrounds among applicants. Many people now know someone who is the best student they have ever known and they still don't get in."
The spokeswoman highlighted the tutorial system and academic rigour as a good preparation for any career, plus the chance to meet other bright and ambitious young people.
"It gives you a good preparation for any career in any sector," she added.
Since leaving, Freya has had an internship at a high-profile environmental organisation and is part of a team researching an Open University report on international wellbeing.
"I think going to Oxford was good for me," she says.
Academic skills and the university's reputation have been a real advantage when it comes to finding work she is interested in.
"You have to write up to three essays a week and discuss them in very small tutorial groups where the tutor guides you through the thinking process.
"The university's reputation for academic rigour is real... but you can gain these skills at other universities, so maybe it's about status as well."
The orange-sized growth was so large it was crushing Isabel Roberts's throat, leaving her unable to breathe naturally.
Doctors needed to rapidly fit a tube to help her breathing before she stopped getting oxygen from her mother.
The tumour has since been removed and doctors expect Isabel to make a full recovery.
Sometimes things go wrong during a baby's development in the womb and tumours can form. In 2012 surgeons in the US removed a tumour while the baby was still in the womb.
Doctors at Sheffield Children's Hospital and Jessops Maternity Hospital noticed an abnormal growth in a scan after 33 weeks.
The twins were delivered by Caesarean section and doctors then started a "race against time" as soon as Isabel's head was free.
Consultant anaesthetist Dr Ayman Eissa said: "We estimate the placenta will continue to supply oxygen through the cord for up to five minutes, but you can never be sure. It could break off at any time.
"The baby was so small and the tumour so big, it was a very difficult job to secure the airway."
While Isabel weighed 3lb 9oz (1.6kg), the tumour alone weighed 0.6lb (0.3kg).
"The relief when I secured the tube was unimaginable. It was definitely the most stressful few minutes of my career," Dr Eissa said.
Isabel's tumour was removed 10 days later.
She is now at home in Hoyland, near Barnsley, with her twin sister Alexandra, older sisters Sarah and Olivia and mother and father Maureen and Simon.
Mrs Roberts said: "The few weeks leading up to and after the twins' arrival were a blur. It's crazy to think just how much has happened to my baby. I can remember walking into the operating theatre to have the Caesarean and not knowing what was going to have happened when I woke up."
The consultant who removed the tumour, Neil Bateman, said: "When we weighed the tumour it accounted for one-sixth of her entire body weight.
"It is very rare for a baby to develop a tumour of this size in the womb."
The cancer did not spread, but Isabel is now on a course of chemotherapy. She is expected to make a full recovery and is "getting stronger every day".
Reds manager Brendan Rodgers identified the 24-year-old attacking midfielder as a top priority.
But the Armenian international has chosen to sign for last season's losing Champions League finalists.
Shakhtar said the fee was 27.5m euros (£24.4m), while Dortmund added that his deal with them runs until June 2017.
Mkhitaryan began his career at Pyunik in his home country and scored 30 goals in 70 league appearances.
He moved to Ukraine to join Metalurh Donetsk in the summer of 2009 and, after 12 goals in 37 top-flight outings, was signed by Shakhtar in August 2010.
He has scored 38 goals in 72 league games for the club, and was Ukraine's top-flight leading scorer with 25 goals in 29 league outings last season.
Borussia Dortmund's chairman of the board Hans-Joachim Watzke said: "It was not an easy transfer, but we really wanted to have Henrikh - and now we have him."
Liverpool were happy to meet the asking price for Mkhitaryan but it is believed they never got the chance to hold talks with the highly-rated player.
Rodgers had hoped to add the player to summer signings Kolo Toure from Manchester City, Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas and Sevilla's Luis Alberto.
The most recent report from the World Anti-Doping Agency revealed 507 tests were carried out on golfers in 2014, with eight testing positive.
"I've been tested once this year but it was only a urine test," said the Northern Irish world number four.
"You can't really pick up HGH (human growth hormone) in a urine test, so I could use HGH and get away with it."
The 27-year-old added: "If golf is in the Olympics it needs to improve the drug testing.
"On average, we get tested four or five times a year. It's very little compared to other Olympic sports."
A UK Anti-Doping spokesperson told BBC Sport: "UK Anti-Doping are currently in the process of carrying out a comprehensive testing programme for British athletes heading to the Olympic Games this summer.
"This programme includes golf and players who will form part of TeamGB in Rio this summer."
The International Golf Federation, which is responsible for the testing programme, has not commented.
In 2014, Wada carried out 283,304 tests worldwide, with banned substances found in more than 3,800 samples.
It told BBC Sport more than 10% of elite athletes could be using performance-enhancing drugs.
Golf had the fewest number of tests of all the summer Olympic sports.

Speaking in the build-up to the Open Championship at Royal Troon, McIlroy added: "Drug testing in golf is some way behind the other sports - but I don't think there are drugs that can make you better across the board.
"There are drugs that can make you stronger and make you concentrate more, but not that can make you a better all-round golfer, as far as I am aware."
Last month, McIlroy withdrew from the Olympic Games in Rio because of concerns about the Zika virus.
The Open begins on Thursday, and McIlroy has been grouped with Hideki Matsuyama and Bubba Watson for the first two rounds.
The episode will be a 75-minute edition, airing at 20:00 BST on BBC Two, to conclude series 22.
It will be made up of two films shot before Clarkson was suspended from the show and eventually sacked, with co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May presenting links from the studio.
Last week the BBC trailed the episode, with a 30-second teaser.
The BBC said the first film will see the three presenters "immerse themselves in the lifestyle of the traditional classic car enthusiast".
The second will follow the trio "try to become leisure enthusiasts with the help of some cheap lifestyle leisure vehicles".
The BBC has yet to decide on Top Gear's future following Clarkson's sacking, after he punched a producer while on location.
There has been speculation that the show could return with a different guest host every week, in a similar style to BBC One's satirical quiz show Have I Got News For You.
It was reported earlier this month Hammond and May had been offered £1m deals to stay with the BBC, however both have yet to sign new contracts.
Gibbs left Elland Road in July 2014, two months after boss Brian McDermott.
At Thursday's hearing in London, the judge Mr Justice Langstaff said that Gibbs had not been assigned work befitting his status and felt he was standing around "doing nothing".
The ex-Watford man resigned after being told by then head coach Dave Hockaday that he had no future at the club.
He was excluded from taking any meaningful part in the training of the first team and was told by email that his role was to be confined to working with the under-18 and under-21 players, which the judge said was not reasonable.
Gibbs is now the assistant head of player development at Tottenham.
The blaze has spread across a six mile (10km) area of the site in the Brecon Beacons, according to South Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
A helicopter is assisting in the operation with fire crews from Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil.
Firefighters tackled a series of grass and gorse fires across south Wales on Friday.
The 21-year-old, who came up through the club's academy alongside his twin brother Josh, will stay at Carrow Road until the summer of 2021.
Murphy has made 16 appearances for Norwich's first team this season.
"To get this deal done is just amazing for me. The path now is for me to continue my form and to improve as a player," he told the club website.
The Senegalese man, in handcuffs, was eventually deported to Dakar on the flight. The jet took off after police had come on board to stop the protest.
The 11 protesters could be fined up to €225,000 (£197,000; $258,000) each for endangering flight safety.
The protest delayed both that flight and the return flight from Dakar.
Spanish media report that the Barcelona-Dakar flight was delayed by two-and-a-half hours at El Prat airport on Saturday, after all the passengers had been ordered off the plane.
When they boarded again, 11 passengers - identified by police as protesters - were not allowed through.
A Spanish journalist, Anna Palou, tweeted a video clip showing the protest on the budget airline jet.
The clip showed several passengers blocking the aisle and bore the message in Catalan: "We have succeeded! Flight of deportation stopped. Now the authorities are coming to take the person away! Solidarity is our best weapon!"
The BBC has approached Vueling for comment on the incident.

Witnesses quoted by Spanish media said the sympathy protest started on the plane when the Senegalese man, escorted by two border guards, complained loudly about being deported.
Lacking any work or residence permit, he had been refused entry to Spain, the Efe news agency reported.
The delay meant that the return flight from Dakar had to be postponed to Sunday, forcing Vueling to pay for the overnight accommodation of 176 passengers.
The incident prompted anti-deportation activists to rally at Seville airport on Sunday. The activists, from the group Caravana Abriendo Fronteras (Open Borders Caravan), staged a noisy protest in the airport terminal.
The numbers of migrants and refugees arriving in Spain from Africa this year have increased compared with the same period (January-July) last year.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says 6,973 had arrived in Spain by sea as of 11 July, compared with 2,476 in the first half of last year.
However, far more took the Central Mediterranean route to Italy.

Taylor beat Junias Jonas of Namibia to take the title and pick up Scotland's 19th gold medal of Glasgow 2014.
"I've dreamed of this moment 1000 times over, I just can't wait to stand on that podium," said Taylor.
Scotland have also 14 silvers and 18 bronze medals. Their previous best tally at a Commonwealth Games came in Edinburgh in 1986, when they won 33 medals.
And the Scots have also beaten their best ever gold medal haul of 11, achieved in Melbourne in 2006.
Cook, 29, said he will have to "wait and see" if he will keep the captaincy after England were beaten 5-2 in a one-day series in Sri Lanka.
England's 15-man World Cup squad must be named by 7 January, with their first match against Australia on 14 February.
"Cook simply isn't playing that well," said Giles. "He is under pressure."
England selectors James Whitaker, Peter Moores, Angus Fraser and Mick Newell will announce a 16-man squad on Saturday for a tri-series next month in Australia against the host nation and India.
Head coach Moores said Cook's position will be reviewed this week. The Essex left-hander scored 119 runs in six matches in Sri Lanka, with a top score of 34.
"He hasn't been playing that well for a year and going into a World Cup your leader is important," Lancashire coach Giles told BBC Sport.
"But so is having 15 players in that squad who can perform and win games for England."
Cook has been England's one-day captain since 2011 and was appointed Test captain the following year.
Giles, England's limited-overs coach from November 2012 to April 2014, added: "I think there's still some discussion to be had and from the sort of the whispers we're hearing from the camp clearly they're not 100% sure.
"He is desperate to do well but he is still not getting the output that he would or England would want.
"In the last one-day match, he was dropped twice before he was finally out, so he is riding his luck - but he is not capitalising on it and it's becoming a problem."
It comes after a year which has seen a number of terror attacks, such as the killing of 39 people at a Tunisian resort and mass shootings in Paris.
The Queen will describe the festive period as "a time to remember all that we have to be thankful for".
This year's message, produced by ITN, will be broadcast on television and radio at 15:00 GMT.
Her Majesty will say during her broadcast: "It is true that the world has had to confront moments of darkness this year, but the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope, often read at Christmas carol services: 'The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it'."
This year marked the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two, and the Queen will again offer thanks for the service and sacrifice of those who took part in the conflict.
She will also give thanks to "the people who bring love and happiness into our own lives", starting with family.
The Queen recorded her Christmas message while at a desk in Buckingham Palace's 18th Century Room. She writes her own address, which is one of the rare occasions when she voices her own views.
She is seen wearing a tweed day dress in white and silver, which was part of an outfit worn for a Diamond Jubilee visit to Wales in 2012.
On her left shoulder is an art deco diamond and aquamarine brooch, previously owned by the Queen Mother.
Her broadcast will also be available on the Royal Channel on YouTube and will be shown in Commonwealth countries.
At an event in Cardiff, Rosemary Butler will say it is "one of the gravest problems facing devolution".
She will point to cuts at the BBC, the decline of the regional and local newspaper industry and the dominance of London-based newspapers.
It follows a similar complaint from a committee of AMs.
Mrs Butler is expected to cite recent UK government reforms of the NHS in England when she speaks at an event in Cardiff Bay on Thursday.
She is expected to say it is the most "acute example" of a story that only applies to England, but is reported as if it applies to the whole of the UK.
She will say: "For the purpose of what I am going to cover tonight, I will call that problem the 'democratic deficit'.
"By that I mean who is, or perhaps more importantly who will be, relaying the work of the National Assembly to the people of Wales in the future?"
The Royal Television Society event will also hear from Professor Anthony King, of Essex University - the author of a report in 2008 that said the BBC needed to improve its coverage of the UK's nations and regions.
In May a cross-party report by AMs said a panel of experts should be set up to advise ministers on Wales' media industry.
The inquiry was set against a background of cutbacks at newspapers and broadcasters across the UK.
The former world champions, who have had equipment issues in Melbourne, cannot be caught by third-placed Italy.
Defending world champions Liesl Tesch and Dan Fitzgibbon took gold with a day to spare in front of their home fans.
"I think realistically this morning we knew that [silver] was the best that could happen," said Birrell.
"We sailed over some weed on day two, and then we had a problem with Alex's canting seat.
"We have to respect the fact that [the Australians] sailed really well this week and deserve their world title.
"I think the scores would have been a lot closer had it not been for the seat issue and the weed. That being said, they sailed really well and we're going to have to find some more."
Now, 40 years after it was built, it is set to be demolished after the city council approved plans to redevelop the site as part of the Paradise Circus scheme, which is estimated to cost about £450m.
About 17 acres of land between Centenary Square and Chamberlain Square will be developed to include offices, shops, leisure and cultural facilities, civic amenities and a hotel.
People have taken to Twitter to express their opinion on the development and the demolition of a library that has been both loved and hated.
Mark Griffiths, a chartered architect from Stourbridge, tweeted: "central library Birmingham 2 go. Example of an iconic building that suffered from being strangled by poor architecture".
Tom Keely, an architectural writer and editor who grew up in Birmingham and now living in London, said that the new plans were "ugly".
He said: "I love the old library because it is a structure of distinction, it's ambitious and uncompromising. It shows that Birmingham was a city that wasn't afraid of big ideas.
"I get that it might not be everybody's taste, but it stands proud, and was built to be adaptable to a future without books."
"These proposals could be anywhere, they just look like any other bland office/shopping/mixed use development. They don't say anything about Birmingham. They are the epitome of the non-place.
"Surely creative re-use is a much more powerful message? It worked at the Mailbox, the Rotunda, the Tate Modern. Why not the library too?"
The library was designed by Birmingham architect John Madin, who was also behind the city's chamber of commerce headquarters and the BBC's Pebble Mill studios.
A new £189m library is set to open on 3 September, 2013 in Centenary Square.
Project director Rob Groves, of developer Argent, said: "The site's combined qualities of its central location and historic landmarks creates an unrivalled opportunity to create a sustainable, first class environment that will transform this key part of Birmingham city centre."
Birmingham City Council leader Sir Albert Bore said: "The redevelopment of Paradise Circus is a vital and integral part of the delivery of Birmingham's Big City Plan.
"It will make a huge and positive contribution to the city's ongoing renaissance... it will also return the city's renowned historic buildings to a more suitable setting in which they can be enjoyed and admired."
In a statement, Keep The Ziggurat, which has been campaigning to save the building, said: "Central Library is a building that divides opinion but, for many people, it forms an essential and positive part of their heritage.
"It is sad that more energy was not invested in trying to find a new use for the structure as we feel this would have been eminently possible and allowed retention of a bold and reassuring civic presence in the centre of the city."
The office of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) said poaching levels were far above the elephant birth rate.
However, the report said poaching numbers had dropped slightly compared to the previous two years.
Transnational organised crime appeared to be involved in the trade, it added.
Cites, which is based in Geneva, is responsible for regulating the international trade in more than 35,000 species of plants and animals.
There are a number of interesting signals in these latest figures, perhaps indicating that the tougher line being taken by Cites is bearing fruit.
For the first time, more large-scale consignments of ivory have been seized in Africa rather than in Asia.
This is down to better policing in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda and perhaps a slight downturn in demand from the key markets such as China, which carried out the first public destruction of ivory earlier this year.
There is also the rise in demand in China for legal mammoth ivory that is mainly exported from Russia, which may also indicate a growing awareness of the connection to elephants and a willingness to look at alternatives.
While these may be positive indicators, the report highlights continuing bad news.
The slaughter of elephants is rising in countries like the Central African Republic, where local populations remain on the verge of extinction.
"Africa's elephants continue to face an immediate threat to their survival from high levels of poaching for their ivory," said Cites Secretary-General John E Scanlon.
The report also documented an increase in the number of large seizures of ivory - of shipments over 500kg (1,100 pounds), in 2013.
For the first time, there were more such seizures in Africa than Asia, with Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda accounting for 80% of the seizures, the report said.
"Large-scale ivory seizures are indicative of transnational organised crime being involved in the illicit ivory trade," a Cites press release said.
While elephant conservationists do believe that increased ivory confiscation is a sign that law enforcement is improving, they also point out that demand for ivory remains very high, says the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva.
Conservationists say that even in some of the monitored elephant populations, poaching is actually increasing, our correspondent adds.
The Cites poaching estimates were based on data from 51 sites across Africa, which accounted for 30-40% of the continent's elephant population.
Figures from those site were extended to estimate the total numbers killed in Africa.
Train services run by Southern, Thameslink and ScotRail all missed punctuality targets, the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) said.
Network Rail maintains the rail system.
Rail passenger journeys have risen 59.1% since 2005, while freight is up 9.1%.
Passengers using Thameslink routes have had to deal with disruption caused by long-term work at London Bridge, while track and signalling failures have disrupted travellers on Southern lines.
Last year, travellers passing through north London during the Christmas period suffered delays as engineering work at King's Cross and Paddington stations overran.
Network Rail pointed out that passenger numbers had more than doubled in the last 20 years since privatisation.
It said the number of people travelling by train grew by 67.3 million to a record high of 1.65 billion passengers last year.
The ORR said 89.6% of trains were on time, well below Network Rail's 92.5% target.
Last year, the percentage of trains that ran on time fell to 90%, down from 90.9% in 2013.
Publishing its annual results on Thursday, Network Rail set aside £77m for fines related to missing its punctuality targets, £24m of which it said had been "released".
It also pointed to a £246m cut in funding from the ORR, which it said contributed to a 51% decline in pre-tax profits to £506m. Network Rail added that rail investment was not affected.
The ORR conceded the network had had to cope with a large rise in use over time.
Network Rail finance director Patrick Butcher added that there were "more than a million more trains on the network than 10 years ago".
Network Rail added: "There are clearly opportunities to improve following decades of under-investment in the rail network. However, it is worth highlighting that we operate the safest passenger network in Europe and the railway asset reliability is the best it has ever been.
"The increase in passengers means that more people are getting to their destination on time than ever before."
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said: "I expect the regulator to hold Network Rail to account, performance must and should improve. The industry has to work together to address these failings and deliver for passengers and the economy: that needs to start now."
Network Rail is spending £24bn over five years on a whole host of projects designed to make more trains run on time and ease overcrowding.
But this report from the regulator, the ORR, says that one year in, the timetable for improvements is slipping and some costs are going up.
For example, work to upgrade the signals around Cardiff will now finish 17 months later than planned, meaning more delays for passengers.
And a project to electrify lines between Manchester and Liverpool finished about a month late, forcing passengers to use smaller, overcrowded trains for longer.
There is some praise in the report, especially for the way Network Rail has improved punctuality on the East Coast mainline from London to Edinburgh, and for freight services.
Having said that, punctuality overall remains 3% below target, with problems singled out on Southern trains, Thameslink trains and services across Scotland.
Máirtín Ó Muilleoir told the BBC's Inside Business programme the funding could apply to private companies and councils.
"I am of the opinion, we've had a chance to discuss it very briefly at the executive that we should have our own stimulus package sitting at the centre," he said.
"So if we set x million pounds aside or tens of millions of pounds aside each year that we say to the councils in particular, we say to the private sector, could you match this if we set aside x million, can we have a multiplier effect of two or three times that."
Inside Business is on Radio Ulster at 13:30 GMT on Sunday 27 November.
Anglo American was the top gainer on the index, notching up a 4.2% rise, while Rio Tinto and Glencore followed close behind in the winners' list.
Copper prices are higher following a strike at the world's largest copper mine in Escondida, Chile.
At the close, the benchmark FTSE 100 share index was up 20.17 points or 0.28% on the day at 7,278.92.
Business services firm Capita was the biggest loser, shedding 2.4%.
The pound was 0.08% higher against the dollar at $1.2499 and up 0.47% against the euro at 1.1793 euros.
Smith, 61, will be working for a fourth time in England, having previously been in charge at Hull (1988-1990) and Bradford Bulls (1996), as well as working at national side level.
He also coached at Illawarra Steelers, St George Dragons, Parramatta Eels, Newcastle Knights, and Sydney Roosters.
He replaces James Webster, who left the club earlier this month.
Webster took over at Belle Vue last June following Richard Agar's exit. But he parted company with Wakefield following the Challenge Cup defeat by Championship leaders Leigh.
Smith, the brother of Warrington coach Tony Smith, will come to Belle Vue subject to being granted a working visa.
He plans to fly over later this week, which means interim head coach Stuart Dickens will remain in charge for next Sunday's game at home to Leeds.
Wakefield chairman Michael Carter told Sky Sports: "Brian Smith is a worldwide name in rugby league and he comes with the highest pedigree. It is a real coup for a club like Wakefield to attract someone of his ilk.
"He sent a text message through our former coach James Webster, who passed that on to me.
"I had a couple of chats with Brian over the phone and he spoke well about what he wanted to achieve.
"We had a really high calibre of candidates but having spoken to Brian it was an easy decision to make."
The Art Fund awards its museum of the year prize to an establishment which has "shown exceptional imagination, innovation and achievement".
The others shortlisted are Bethlem Museum of the Mind in London, Bristol's Arnolfini, Edinburgh's Jupiter Artland and York Art Gallery.
The winner will be announced on 6 July at the Natural History Museum.
Last year the prize was awarded to the Whitworth in Manchester.
Stephen Deuchar, director of the Art Fund, said this year's shortlist showed "why and how UK museums lead the world".
"Each one of these five museums is outstanding - not just for the collections they display, but for the people who work there, and the visitors whose lives they can change," Mr Deuchar continued.
"Whether reaching audiences of thousands or millions, the best museums turn objects into culture, put audiences at the heart of their work, and engage with issues of the moment."
The V&A has long been considered one of the UK's - and the world's - foremost museums of art and design and a leading visitor attraction as a result.
And the last 12 months has proved a record-breaking year for the establishment, pulling in 3.9 million visitors, and a further 14.5 million online visitors.
This success has been largely due to a major gallery restoration project and sell-out exhibitions such as a Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, in celebration of the innovative designer who died in 2010, which attracted a record-breaking 493,043 visitors from 87 countries.
Its 2013 hit David Bowie Is retrospective, which embarked on a global tour after its London run, notched up its millionth visitor in Paris in May.
Other highlights have included a major show of Indian textiles and a worldwide touring programme for the V&A's Museum of Childhood.
The Bethlem Museum of the Mind is described by the Art Fund as "extraordinary". It holds an extensive collection of archives, art and historic objects relating to the history of mental health care and treatment.
It was opened by the Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry in 2015.
Jupiter Artland is an award-winning sculpture collection on the outskirts of Edinburgh. A charity, it focuses on nurturing the work of contemporary artists and commissioning site-specific work for its 100-acres of woodland and meadow.
The museum was established in 1999 by art collectors Robert and Nicky Wilson within Bonnington House, a Jacobean manor with extensive grounds. The couple's aim was partly to find a space to allow the public to share in their own private collection of art.
The Arnolfini in Bristol is described as "a pioneer of the interdisciplinary contemporary arts". It prides itself on a wide-ranging remit taking in visual art, performance, dance, film and music.
Sited dramatically in a repurposed warehouse on the city's harbourside, Arnolfini welcomes half a million visitors each year, to experience works of art by local, national and international artists.
Its credited with helping regenerate Bristol's harbourside and in 2015 it embarked on its own renovation venture, boosting its visitor numbers in the process.
Lastly, the York Art Gallery was built in 1879 and is now home to a nationally designated collection spanning 600 years.
In August 2015 the gallery reopened after an £8m development which increased its exhibition space by 60%, allowing significant artworks and exhibitions to be brought to the city, including ceramics and art dedicated to World War One.
The five finalists were whittled down from a longlist of 10, following visits by the judges.
The Art Fund is independently financed with the core of its income provided by 122,000 members. Its main work is in grant-giving and supporting the UK's art establishments, small and large.
When you enter Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation, you are greeted by loud Hindi film music and a vinyl record from Mughal-E-Azam, one of the most iconic Bollywood films.
But, as the title suggests, this exhibition is not just about Indian cinema.
The curators from the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center say it about the "history and contemporary experiences of Indian Americans as they have grown to be one of the more diverse and well-recognised communities in the United States".
With a population of 2.8 million, Indian Americans are the third largest group among Asian Americans.
They are also among the wealthiest communities in the US, with a median annual household income of $88,000 (£52,900) compared with the national median of $49,800 (£29,900), according to one study.
And more than 70% of Indian American immigrants over 18 years of age speak English very well, compared with 53% of all Asian American immigrants.
The vast exhibition covers everything from Indian American food to yoga, engineers to cab drivers, and the LGBT community to hip hop.
With brightly coloured walls and background music, the exhibition is certainly pleasing to the senses.
Colourful Indian thalis, or steel plates, stuck on the wall provide statistical data on the community and are an attempt to tie the collection together.
The facts are interesting enough but they feel arbitrary and the entire exhibition, unfortunately, points more to what has been omitted than what has been included.
For instance, in an effort to be interactive, there is a podium where you can stand and be a contestant in a mock spelling bee because, we are informed, 73% of National Spelling Bee winners since 1999 have been Indian Americans.
Next to the podium is a life-size cut-out of Nina Davuluri, the Indian-American woman who was crowned Miss America 2014.
Both may represent key cultural contributions, but it is unclear why they are given such prominence.
There is also little room left for imperfections. Indian Americans are presented as a perfect, pleasing, model minority.
The exhibition showcases aspects of Indian culture viewed through the lens of an earlier America.
Colourful Indian footwear is accompanied by a note informing you that Indians generally remove their shoes before entering their homes or any sacred places.
There is also a fully-set table with a vague description of Indian food and a box of spices, and a yoga room with a wall of mirrors in which you can strike yoga poses.
The show talks about the contribution of well-known Indian Americans, but it is not clear how these people have been selected.
A scattering of pictures and two mirrors on the wall encourage you to ask who Indian Americans are, but the answer remains unanswered in this exhibition. (One wall post does, however, clarify that, "Indian Americans are not American Indians.")
All the written posts refer to Indian Americans, meaning, presumably Indians resident in the US or Indians who hold American passports.
But there are no mentions or examples of the many Indian Americans who are becoming increasingly visible in US politics, journalism, academia, or business.
There is some awareness of activism and art in the show.
There are a few pictures of the Indian-American LGBT community, and a painting called DOTS by Anujun Ezhikode which was a response to the hate group, Dotbusters, that aimed to get Indians out of Jersey City in the 1980s.
Haunting
The most haunting part of the exhibition is the turban of Balbir Singh Sodhi, who was shot dead in Arizona by a man said to be seeking revenge on Muslims for 9/11.
Few other sections stand out.
Art director Chiraag Bhakta and photographer Mark Hewko have put together a section on Indian-American motel owners that is fascinating. Almost half the motels in the US are owned by Indians.
The uninspiring quotes by an "Indian American Child Who Grew Up In A Motel" do not add much, but the photographs of the motels are depressing and beautiful, and the section's faux-motel front is interestingly designed.
Photographer Dez Veeraswamy has contributed to some of the pictures on the walls, including a digital photo frame that has some wonderful pictures of Indians who settled in the Caribbean.
A 1952 picture of a Bengali-Puerto Rican family demonstrates the unusual history of some Indians in America.
Indian Americans are no longer a small, easily defined minority that can be captured and explained in a few brightly coloured rooms in a museum.
This exhibition is certainly aesthetically pleasing, but it barely scratches the surface of the growing Indian-American experience and its role in the US.

England must beat Australia on 13 November to retain any chance of getting to Anfield, while Scotland's second defeat eliminates them.
Tries from Kane Linnett and Matty Russell gave Scotland a shock 8-0 lead.
But Elliott Whitehead crossed for the first two of seven England scores at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.
Mark Percival, Ryan Hall, Jermaine McGillvary, Luke Gale and Liam Farrell also touched down for Wayne Bennett's side, who had lost their opening match to New Zealand seven days previously.
Dale Ferguson added a late consolation for Scotland, who conclude their Four Nations campaign against New Zealand in Workington on Friday (11 November, 20:00 GMT).
In the day's second match, Australia took a huge stride towards reaching the final by defeating champions New Zealand.
It leaves England with an uphill task of reaching the final at Anfield. They need to beat Australia next Sunday (14:00 GMT) to stand any chance of progressing, and qualification could yet be decided by points difference.
No "fourth nation" has beaten England, Australia or New Zealand since the tournament was revamped in 2009 but that statistic appeared under threat when Scotland deservedly led in the latter stages of the first half.
Beaten 54-12 by Australia in their Four Nations opener, the Bravehearts - who included 11 NRL and Super League players in their 17-man squad - were buoyed by England's shocking start and belied their status as the lowest-ranked team in the competition.
Linnett rounded off a well-executed move to establish an advantage and Russell produced a remarkable piece of athleticism for their second try.
He twisted away from McGillvary and Kallum Watkins to touch down acrobatically, although the video referee required a lengthy observation to determine that the Warrington Wolves winger had put sufficient downward pressure on the ball.
Scotland gave away several first-half penalties but England attacks were repelled until second-rower Whitehead broke through twice before half-time.
The visitors tired significantly after the interval, and the loss of captain Danny Brough to the sin-bin midway through the second period ended their hopes of a surprise win.
With points difference the first separator between sides level on points in the Four Nations table, England went into the game hoping to surpass the 42-point margin of victory that Australia had achieved against Scotland eight days earlier.
However, it soon became clear that just beating the Bravehearts would be much tougher than many imagined and it was the start of the second half when they finally took control.
A huge positive for England was the performance of Wigan's George Williams, who was selected ahead of Gareth Widdop to partner Gale at half-back.
Williams set up three of England's first four tries, including a neat kick to send Hall over for his 30th international score, and his display means he will surely start against Australia.
Influential prop James Graham is likely to be fit for that game after missing the Scotland match because of injury.
But England were far from their best against the side ranked ninth in the world and Bennett will know that a massive improvement is needed if they are to defeat the world champions for the first time since the 1995 World Cup.
England coach Wayne Bennett: "Just pleased with the win that is all you can say about it.
"We were bad, we weren't good in the first 20 minutes. We got closer to what I expect in the second half.
"I want them to play to their ability and they were a way off that."
Asked if any players had played themselves out of contention for the Australia match: "A couple of them probably have, yes.
"George Williams was good but can play a lot better than he did tonight, too.
"They have got a bit of thinking to do, they need to have a look at themselves."
Scotland coach Steve McCormack: "I am really proud we tested them. In the second half the sin bin didn't help but I'm really proud.
"We are playing against the best three teams in the world. We competed for long periods much better than against Australia and we expect to be better next week (against New Zealand).
"We could have tested England more. The penalty count killed us, that was a big factor. We started the game better and played some good stuff.
"England were good in the second half and showed they can play with the ball but we need to look at the penalty count."
England: Lomax; McGillvary, Watkins, Percival, Hall; Williams, Gale; Hill, Hodgson, Taylor, Farrell, Whitehead, S Burgess.
Replacements: T Burgess, G Burgess, Cooper, Clark.
Scotland: Coote; Tierney, Aitken, Linnett, Russell; Brough, Addy; A Walker, Hood, Douglas, Hellewell, Ferguson, Kavanagh.
Replacements: Cassel, Mariano, C Phillips, Brooks.
Referee: Gerard Sutton (Australia).

Under the plans, unauthorised use of the term would be illegal, as is already the case for the use of the term degree.
To legally describe training as an apprenticeship, schemes would have to provide at least a year's training and meet other requirements.
The measures will be part of the government's Enterprise Bill.
In a statement, the Department for Business Innovation and Skills said the legislation would give the government power to take action if the term is "misused to promote low-quality courses".
"If university graduates have their moment in the sun, so should people who undertake apprenticeships," Skills Minister Nick Boles said.
"Businesses know their value, so it's high time they were recognised both by the public and in law as being equal to degrees."
The government has pledged to create three million apprenticeships by 2020.
To help reach that target, public bodies, including hospitals, schools and the police, will be set targets to take on more apprentices.
Last month a report from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) and the Local Government Association criticised apprenticeships for failing to tackle youth unemployment.
"There is a big gap between the function apprenticeships should have in our economy and how they're being used in practice," said Luke Raikes, research fellow at IPPR said.
"The majority of apprenticeships are being used to train older people, and those who are already employed at their company, instead of taking on young people out of work."
In a statement on Sunday, Labour MP Liam Byrne said the government needed to do more to boost the apprenticeship "brand".
"The Tory-led coalition's five years allowed the devaluing of the once proud apprenticeship brand.
"They focused on re-badging in-work training for older workers as apprenticeships rather than helping create proper apprenticeship places for young people.
"Apprenticeships should be a qualification of at least level three and last two years," he said.
Enda Dolan, 18, from County Tyrone, was in his first term at Queen's University when he was struck by a van on Belfast's Malone Road in October 2014.
David Lee Stewart, 31, of Gray's Park Avenue, admitted a series of charges linked to the teenager's death.
He will spend three and a half years in prison and the same amount of time on licence.
Speaking outside Belfast Crown Court, Enda's father Peter Dolan said the family was "disappointed and disgusted" at the length of sentence handed down.
"Our lives have been ruined, shattered and damaged beyond repair," he said.
Describing Northern Ireland's legal system as "a disgrace", Mr Dolan said: "We have been left with a life sentence. So many parents have stood in our shoes...and many more will in the future, unless something is done to deter individuals from driving under the influence of drink and drugs."
Enda was walking to his student accommodation when a van mounted a footpath and hit him.
He sustained a broken neck and head injuries.
A judge described the death as "senseless and needless".
Stewart was also disqualified from driving for 12 months.
The passenger in the car with Stewart, William Ross Casement, 21, from Belvoir Drive, Belfast, was given 50 hours community service and two years on probation.
He was also disqualified from driving for 12 months.
During his trial, the court heard that Stewart, who had consumed drink and drugs before driving his van, drove with the teenager on the roof of his van for about 800 yards before he stopped.
The court was told Stewart took 13 drinks, including six pints of beer and four Jagerbombs, a mix of a spirit and an energy drink.
Traces of drugs, including cocaine, were also found in his system.
Peter Dolan described Enda as "an adored son, big brother, grandson, boyfriend and friend" who was "so full of excitement during his last three weeks of life since he started Queen's".
He said the student loved to return to his home in Killyclogher at the weekends to see his family and girlfriend before his life was "brutally ended on the the night of his sister's 16th birthday".
"We have to deal with the loss of Enda every hour of every day for the rest of our lives. The missed family celebrations, the Christmases, the 21st birthday he won't have and the wedding and grandchildren that will never be."
The jobless rate was steady at an 11-year low of 4.8%, the Office for National Statistics said.
The employment rate was steady at a record 74.5%, while wage growth picked up pace.
Average weekly earnings excluding bonuses increased by 2.7% compared with a year earlier.
Growth in pay including bonuses rose 0.2 percentage points to 2.8% for the year to November.
However, the number of people in work slipped by 9,000 to just over 31.8 million, the ONS said.
It was the second consecutive report to show a decline in the number of people in work - the first back-to-back fall since mid-2015.
The number of full-time workers was 209,000 higher at 23.25 million people, while the total of part-time employees jumped 86,000 to 8.55 million.
Employment minister Damian Hinds described the figures as encouraging and highlighted the "strength and resilience" of the UK labour market.
David Freeman, ONS senior statistician, said: "While employment is little changed on the quarter, the rate remains at an historic high."
"The rate at which pay is increasing continues to pick up in cash terms, though it remains moderate," he added.
The claimant count fell by 10,100 in December to 797,800.
Appropriate scepticism is due, but it looks very much like growth in the labour force, which we have taken for granted for years, has ground slowly to a halt from a peak last July.
Within the labour market is another number, more perhaps of political than economic significance. But it is an official statistic and one that those who successfully campaigned for the UK to leave the European Union would point to: where the newly employed people were born.
These data were first published in November and are for the July to September period, but are nevertheless worth noting.
The number of UK-born people working in the UK rose by 37,000. The number of non-UK born people working in Britain rose by 430,000.
Next month we will get the updated numbers for nationality and birth in the workforce and therefore have a better idea of whether it has anything to do with the Brexit vote.
Paul Hollingsworth at Capital Economics said the UK labour market remained resilient despite Brexit uncertainty.
"Employment fell by 9,000 in the three months to November, but this was a much smaller fall than the consensus expectation of a 35,000 drop," he said.
"And the timelier claimant-count measure of unemployment fell by 10,100, in contrast to expectations of a 5,000 rise. Employment growth should maintain a decent pace in the near term."
There were 8.89 million people aged 16 to 64 who were not working and not looking for jobs or available to work - known as economically inactive - for the three months to November. That was 85,000 higher than the June-to-August period, but 63,000 fewer than the three months to November 2015.
The jobless rate for the three months to November in Wales stood at 4.4%, 5.1% for Scotland and 5.6% in Northern Ireland.
In England the South East had the lowest rate of unemployment at 3.4%, with the North East the highest at 6.8%. London also has a higher rate than the national average at 5.6%.
The unemployment figures are based on the Labour Force Survey in which the ONS talks to about 40,000 households, or 100,000 individuals, every three months.
As it is a survey, the results are estimates and have a margin of error.
For example, the ONS is 95% confident that its estimate of a fall in unemployment of 52,000 is correct to within 81,000.
That means we cannot say with 95% confidence that unemployment has fallen at all, so the drop is described as not being statistically significant.
Angela Konarzewski said places of pupils taking term-time holidays from Fleetdown Primary School could be offered to others on the waiting list.
She said parents might have to "renegotiate" their child's spot at the Dartford school upon their return.
But Kent County Council said it believed such action was unlawful.
Mrs Konarzewski said the school, rated outstanding by Ofsted in 2014, was in high demand, with two children vying for each place.
And in a newsletter, she warned parents who fell foul of term-time holiday rules that they might have to sign a written agreement promising not to repeat the offence.
She said even a small amount of absence had an impact on achievement.
"I think their education is more important than having a holiday with the family. It's not a human right to have a holiday," she said.
"It's a form of child abuse, in my opinion."
But the council's education director Patrick Leeson said there was "no legal provision" for a school to remove a pupil for non-attendance.
"Unauthorised absence from school to attend a holiday cannot be seen as persistent or serious breaches of a school's behaviour policy," he said.
"In addition... it would be unlawful to exclude a child for the behaviour of their parents."
"As it is a local authority school, Kent County Council will be instructing the governors to amend their relevant behavioural and absence policy to reflect current legislation."
Mrs Konarzewsky earlier acknowledged that current legislation meant pupils could not enforce an exclusion but said an "absent" child's place could be offered to a pupil on the waiting list. | A Banksy mural entitled Kissing Coppers has fetched $575,000 (£345,000) at a US auction after being removed from the wall of a Brighton pub.

The gaffe came as the country celebrated its 150th birthday at the weekend.
Kicking off celebrations, the PM name-checked 12 of Canada's 13 provinces and territories - but not Alberta.
Within minutes, angry Albertans were debating the slip on social media, with many insisting it was deliberate.
"The omission was completely intentional. He had a teleprompter," fumed Twitter user Dave Dunbar.
"When you let the whole country know how you feel about #Alberta eh' #Trudeau," wrote one young woman in the western province.
"Did Justin Trudeau really leave out Alberta in his speech? I'm howling here, oh my God what a moron," rued chooseylucy1 in Toronto.
Mr Trudeau quickly realised his mistake, and jumped back on the stage at Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
"I love you, Alberta," he called out, blowing a kiss.
The Liberal Party leader was seen shaking his head as he sat down again. A little later, he repeated his apology online.
But as word of the error spread, Mr Trudeau's political critics moved to capitalise on it.
Michelle Rempel, a Conservative member of Parliament representing Calgary, posted a video on Facebook where she claimed "something really bad happened on Parliament Hill".
"The prime minister of our country - on Canada Day! - forgot that Alberta exists," she said. "I don't think this was an accident. Justin Trudeau continually forgets our province."
Unfortunately, the PM picked the wrong four million people to slight.
Alberta, traditionally a more conservative province, was a hotbed of opposition to his father - former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
In October 1980, he ended deadlocked talks about energy pricing by pushing through the National Energy Programme, raising outrage in oil-rich Alberta.
While the critics raged, many other Canadians failed to see the big deal.
"For all you people whining that PM Trudeau forgot Alberta - RELAX," tweeted Jacqueline Roy from Ottawa, adding the hashtags "#peoplemakemistakes", "#HappyCanadaDay", and "#mycountryincludesAlberta".
The attempts to smooth ruffled feathers only raised more, though, as Albertans defended their right to be furious.
"Can you imagine the stink raised he if he would have forgot Ontario.... or God forbid, Quebec!!!!" one Twitter user commented.
"If he would have missed Quebec there would have been riots in the streets," agreed Cal Howard.
Perhaps keen to ensure they aren't overlooked again, miffed Albertans shared a mock geography test online.
It seems unlikely Mr Trudeau will repeat the blunder in future.

The striker's two goals on Friday were not enough to prevent Falkirk progressing to the play-off final.
But Hibs have the chance on Saturday, against Rangers, to end their 114-year wait to lift the Scottish Cup.
"I've got one more chance now to make all these fans and everyone associated with the club very happy," he said.
"We are lucky. Obviously that could have been the last game of the season and had all summer to think about that game.
"Whereas we have one more game to make it right. We can go to Hampden and become heroes by winning that cup."
Losing to Falkirk means Hibs, who also lost the League Cup final to Ross County, miss out on promotion for the second season running.
"It was the worst of my career so far," said 24-year-old Keatings. "That third goal that went in for Falkirk just took the wind away from us.
"Myself personally, I felt totally gutted, totally deflated. I sat on the bench and watched them celebrating.
"That night, I sat up until four o'clock in the morning going over the game in my head. It was just frying my brain."
However, family time left Keatings refreshed and raring to put things right against a Rangers team who beat Hibs to the Championship title.
"We have won the two at home and they have won their two and they won the Petrofac Training Cup game at the start of the season," he said.
"We know how to play against them, we know they are a good team and respect them, but hopefully we can put our game-plan together and do it as a team."
The defeat by Falkirk also denied Keatings the rare accolade of helping three teams to promotion from the Championship in consecutive seasons.
Two seasons ago, he helped Hamilton Academical relegate Hibs by defeating them in the play-off then last season he was wearing the maroon of Hearts as they beat his present club, their city rivals, and Rangers to the Championship title.
"If you look back at Hamilton, I never thought I would end up two years on at Hibs and still trying to get out of the Championship," said Keatings.
"I knew I was going to get a lot of stick for joining Hearts' city rivals. I was warned about it, but at that point I was talking to a few clubs and it was about doing what was best for me.
"It was a surprise to leave Hearts as I had a good season there and scored a few goals and gave my all.
"It was a mutual agreement because I was not going to feature as much as I wanted and I thought it was best for my career.
"It was my time to move on and, when I spoke to the manager here, it was a great opportunity for me - and, 12 months on, I am looking forward to a cup final."

Wigan went ahead through Joel Tomkins' try before Luke Walsh replied in an intense first half that ended 6-6.
George Williams scored a fantastic solo try for Wigan, but Adam Swift danced in to reduce the deficit to two points.
Jon Wilkin's high kick was collected by Jones three minutes from time to seal St Helens' comeback.
Saints' Jordan Turner was denied a 100th career try after an obstruction earlier in the play, and the visitors took full advantage.
A great piece of skill from Matty Smith set up Tomkins for his first try since June as he waltzed in under the posts, with Matty Bowen adding the extras.
St Helens hit back when a clever dummy by Walsh saw him sneak in and just ground the ball for his seventh try of the season. He converted to level the scores.
Bowen's 20-metre penalty edged Wigan in front five minutes after the break, before Williams dummied his way through three tackles to run 40 metres and go over. Bowen's kick stretched Wigan's lead.
After Wigan's Joe Burgess had a try disallowed for a knock-on, St Helens broke quickly, Swift jinking his way into the left-hand corner and Walsh's conversion closing the gap to two points.
With the clock ticking down, Jones's leap over the line secured a dramatic victory for the hosts three minutes from time.
St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham:
"The boys played really well. They've had a lot of stuff said about them in the last few weeks and it wasn't very nice about certain individuals. Let's see what they say this week.
"We weren't that great with the ball but we defended like troopers, we just kept hanging in there and finding a way to keep turning up.
"It's that team spirit you can't manufacture, you've got to have that fight and that will. It makes it special when you see players fighting for each other."
Wigan coach Shaun Wane:
"That's hurt me badly, very badly. It will take me a few days to get over this. Unless you concentrate for 80 minutes, you can get burned. That's rugby league. It's a tough sport.
"We controlled the game for large parts but it shows the quality they have. They never go away. I never felt comfortable.
"It was a great game to watch I'd imagine. I'm very proud of the effort of my players but to come away with nothing after doing as much as they did is an absolute heartbreaker."

Those are the words of County Armagh man Vance McElhinney, also known as Nguyen Van Tan, who was airlifted out of Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War 40 years ago.
Mr McElhinney does not know his birthday, his birthplace or even whether his biological family is still alive.
His name - Nguyen Van Tan - was only established because it was written on the only known photograph of him as a child in Vietnam.
Now, for the first time since being one of 100 orphan children included in what is known as Operation Babylift, he is returning to the country.
A BBC One documentary followed his journey back to Vietnam, as he attempted to find his biological parents and met the newspaper editor who saved his life.
Mr McElhinney also visited the orphanage in Quy Nhon, a town where he believes he was born.
It was an emotional experience for the Lurgan man, who was adopted by local couple Cyril and Liz McElhinney after being airlifted out of Vietnam.
Sinead Ingoldsby, producer of the True North documentary, said the mystery about his origins was what drove him to go back to the country.
"Getting to know Vance and realising that he didn't know the things we take for granted; when he was born, what age he is, what his birthday was. It made me realise how lucky I am to know all those things," Ms Ingoldsby said.
"It doesn't really matter how stable or how wonderful a life you have, if you don't know the answer to those questions you're always going to feel a bit rootless."
Operation Babylift was organised by the Daily Mail, but the newspaper's decision to charter children out of Vietnam in 1975 was widely criticised as a publicity stunt.
The Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Times and the Guardian wrote editorials criticising the decision, suggesting that the orphans would be better off in the country, and accused the Daily Mail of "baby snatching".
Brian Freemantle, the Daily Mail's foreign editor at the time, does not deny the the publicity stunt allegations.
"If a stunt is attracting attention to your newspaper, then yes it was a stunt," Mr Freemantle said.
"A stunt is buying people a home in the country, or buying people new cars.
"What I did with this plane was I got 100 children [out of Vietnam] who would have died I am sure."
The documentary shows Mr Freemantle meeting Mr McElhinney and Viktoria Cowley, another Operation Babylift passenger.
Mr Freemantle said meeting those from the chartered flight more than 40 years on was an "odd" experience.
"It was strange. Because, of course, the last time I saw them they were tiny, wee babies and there they were, grown people."
Mr McElhinney, meanwhile, described the meeting as the only time in his life he has felt emotional.
"I was overwhelmed," he said. "It was a privilege to meet someone who literally saved my life."
Mr McElhinney also said that the journey to find his biological family allowed him to better appreciate the life given to him by his adoptive parents and come to terms with his own identity.
"The life I've been given with the McElhinneys was just unbelievable and, although I didn't appreciate it at the time or I went my own way, they always stuck by me," he said.
"I've got a loving family, I couldn't wish for better parents.
"I'm from Saigon - that's where I was born and no one can take that away from me, which is great.
"But, I've got to live my life in Northern Ireland."
The program, True North: A Place to Call Home, will air on BBC One Northern Ireland on Monday 29 February at 22:45 GMT.
Men who took part in the D-Day landings of June 1944, most of them in their 90s, received the Legion d'Honneur.
Former merchant seaman Peter Goldsack and ex-Para Charles Guscott received their medals from Honorary Consul James Ryeland in Dover, Kent.
"I feel extremely proud - this is a great thing," said Mr Goldsack.
Another 12 veterans received their medals from French ambassador Sylvie Bermann at a ceremony in London.
One of the recipients, Peter Cliffe, 94, from Woking, Surrey, landed at Leon-Sur-Mer in Normandy on 6 June.
Mr Cliffe, a captain in the Lincolnshire Regiment, helped to cover the exits from bridges over Canal De Caen and the River Orne.
Over the following two days, 22 men in his unit had been killed or wounded - as he himself was on 8 July.
Leslie Sutton, 91, from Ilford in Essex, was a corporal in the RAF when he landed on Omaha beach with the 1st American Army during D-Day.
He fought through France, liberating villages and helping to secure and hold airfields for the Allied forces.
Former able seaman Harry Card, from Orpington, south-east London, 89, was the youngest to be honoured.
He served aboard HMS Swift, an S-class destroyer, providing escort for HMS Warspite, Ramillies and Mauritius for the assault on Sword Beach on 6 June.
While on patrol on 24 June the ship struck a mine and sank, with the loss of 53 lives.
Mr Card survived the explosion and was rescued from the sea.
The presentation is the latest in a number of ceremonies around the UK since the 70th anniversary of D-Day two years ago, when President Francois Hollande pledged to honour all the surviving British veterans who had served in France.
They say the violence in the central Kasai province was sparked by a row between an uncle and a nephew over the title of a traditional chief.
Deputy Governor Hubert Mbingho N'Vula said 13 members of the security forces sent to quell the fighting were among those killed.
Eighteen militiamen also died, he said.
Mr N'Vula said public order had been restored in and around the city of Tshikapa in the remote province.
DR Congo is beset by sporadic violence between ethnic militias.
This has been inflamed further by the postponing of a presidential election due to be held before the end of the year.
The M200 series use ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance broadcast) receivers to detect broadcasts from nearby manned flights.
The transmissions allow users to see the position, altitude and velocity of surrounding aircraft so they can take evasive action if required.
One expert praised the move.
"It's an extra safety measure and will help drone operators work in restricted airspace," explained Dave Black from the commercial drone services firm Blackwing Aerial.
"The way we tend to do this is to contact air traffic controllers before we fly, tell them where we are flying and then they contact us by phone if there's going to be any conflict.
"But in time, the authorities may well also want this kind of feature fitted as standard before they approve operations with larger drones."
Mr Black added that some enthusiasts had created their own ADS-B kit by connecting a receiver to a Raspberry Pi computer with customised software and then tying this to their drone. But he added that an integrated unit would be appreciated.
The announcement was made at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona.
DJI announced last July that it intended to develop an ADS-B collision avoidance system in conjunction with uAvionix, a specialist in the technology.
The M200 series drones, which debut the feature, are designed for industrial applications such as inspecting power lines and mapping construction sites.
They have a range of 7km (4.3 miles) and can stay airborne for up to 38 minutes, but some country's regulators currently require them to stay within line-of-sight.
The aircraft are bigger and heavier than many consumer drones - they weigh 3.8kg (8.4lb) and can carry a further 2kg of equipment - so potentially pose a greater risk if involved in a crash.
However, one analyst warned that the new safety system could give drone pilots a false sense of confidence.
"The problem is that ADS-B isn't yet required for all aircraft, so even if you had a receiver you're not necessarily seeing all the traffic in the area," explained Colin Snow, chief executive of the Skylogic Research consultancy.
"Its use is also not required at the low altitudes at which commercial drones tend to fly.
"So, let's say you are a farmer in a rural area using a drone. There's a danger a crop duster could come into your zone - and they often do not use ADS-B - and catch you unaware.
"The other issue is that you only 'see' other aircraft when their ADS-B pings are retransmitted from towers on the ground and sometimes that doesn't happen."
He returned to the Grey nightclub in the southern city of Konstanz armed with an M16 rifle after having been thrown out following an argument, a state prosecutor said.
The victim was a doorman. Several others were wounded including a police officer.
The gunman was killed by police.
Hundreds of revellers are thought to have been at Grey at the time of the shooting. They either fled outside in terror or found places to hide as the shooting unfolded.
The wounded police officer's life had been saved by his helmet, which deflected a bullet fired by the gunman, Andreas Stenge from the Baden-Württemberg criminal investigation office said at a press conference.
Mr Stenge said the M16 was an "absolute war weapon" and said the gunman appeared to know how to handle it.
The 34-year-old had come to police attention twice in the past, police said.
Police chief Ekkehard Falk said a police strategy to swiftly disable the gunman had prevented further casualties.
The Baden-Württemberg authorities have ruled out a terrorist motive for the incident.
The £11.3m station would be served by a local service between Leamington Spa and Coventry.
The government has set aside a total of £20m to pay for 75% of the cost of either building or renovating stations in England and Wales.
The rest of the money for the scheme would come from the county council.
It is hoped work would begin on the site by autumn next year if the authority is successful with its New Stations Fund bid.
Councillor Peter Butlin, the Conservative-run council's portfolio holder for transport and highways, said: "With the introduction of the new train service, the benefits are going to be felt over a much wider area as it will help relieve overcrowding on existing services.
"It is also going to provide better access to employment opportunities in the Coventry and Warwickshire sub-region and support economic growth."
Andrew Rossig, 34, and James Brady, 33, were convicted of reckless endangerment and unauthorised climbing in connection with the jump in September 2013.
They were fined $2,000 (£1,285) each on Monday and given community service.
The pair leapt from the top of the 104-storey skyscraper after sneaking through a hole in a construction fence.
A third jumper, Marko Markovich, will be sentenced on 17 August.
Base jumping is an extreme sport, which involves leaping from high structures with a parachute.
The jumpers filmed their night-time exploits at One World Trade Center using helmet cameras and posted the video online.
The building, which was still under construction at the time, is located at the same site where 2,700 lost their lives in the Islamist attack on 11 September 2001.
It contains a museum and memorial garden dedicated to those who died.
Judge Juan Merchan said: "These defendants tarnished the building before it even opened and sullied the memories of those who jumped on 9/11, not for sport but because they had to."
In June, a jury acquitted each of the three men of the more serious charge of burglary.
Speaking after sentencing, Rossig apologised for his actions and vowed never to parachute in New York City again.
"We understand that what we did could possibly have endangered other people and it's never going to happen again," he added.
A spokesman for the Fire and Rescue Service said the 91-year-olds were taken to Noble's Hospital but their condition is "not yet known".
Fire crews were called to the blaze at the house on Station Road, which has now been extinguished, at around 12:00.
Local resident Mark Dawson said: "It was clearly a major fire. There were huge plumes of smoke."
Another Port Erin resident Sarah Brown said: "There was a loud bang followed by loads of sirens."
Police Forensic and Fire Investigation teams are currently conducting investigations at the scene.
The spokesman said: "At this time there does not appear to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding."
Station Road from its junction with Ballafesson Road to Bridson Street will remain closed until 18:00 GMT and the public are asked to "avoid the area."
Malcolm Turnbull has promised to put the issue to a non-binding ballot, or plebiscite, next year.
But critics, including many supporters of same-sex marriage, say parliament should make the decision itself.
They say the plebiscite will be expensive and runs the risk of unleashing homophobic rhetoric.
Parliament will still vote on whether to hold the plebiscite, but without opposition and crossbench support it is unlikely to pass the senate.
Mr Turnbull has not yet said whether he will allow MPs a free parliamentary vote instead, as the opposition wants, meaning the issue is unlikely to be resolved soon.
Australia's Marriage Act currently specifies marriage as a union between a man and a woman. If parliament approves a vote, Australians will be asked next February: "Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?"
According to the 2011 census, there were around 33,700 same-sex couples in Australia - about 1% of all couples in Australia. Opinion polls show between 60% and 72% of Australians support legalising gay marriage
The opposition say campaigning around the plebiscite could allow aggressively homophobic language. A no vote could also set the legal changes back for years to come.
They pushing for the matter to be settled through a free vote in parliament, where politicians would vote according to their individual beliefs.

The vote is expected to cost A$160m (£95m; $120m) which includes equal funding for both the yes and no campaigns.
Opposition Labor leader Bill Shorten said on Tuesday that his party would oppose the "expensive, divisive plebiscite".
"Why should a couple in a committed relationship have to knock on the doors of 15 million of their fellow Australians and see if they agree with it?" he said.
"The easiest way is the way which this parliament has done for a hundred years - legislate."
Mr Turnbull is a long-time personal supporter of same-sex marriage but has said the public should have a say.
He said on Tuesday that the opposition was "not so much interested in same-sex couples being able to marry as they are in wringing every ounce of political gain out of this debate".
First, Mr Brennan will be confirmed. And second, despite nearly a dozen years of war, there are profound disagreements both within the United States and beyond about how this conflict has been and should be waged.
Mr Brennan provided a forceful defence of the Obama administration's war against al-Qaeda over the past four years, particularly its increased employment of drones in various countries he declined to specify.
He made clear that the administration believes it has the legal authority to use lethal force in self-defence against al-Qaeda and associated forces wherever there is an imminent threat against the United States and capture is not feasible.
The committee was clearly supportive of the continued use of drones in the ongoing war against al-Qaeda. Americans by a wide margin share this view.
But that is not the case outside the United States. The rest of the world questions the legality of their use, viscerally so in a country such as Pakistan, where drone attacks increased significantly during President Obama's first term.
While Mr Brennan declined to discuss where drones are employed, Ambassador Sherry Rehman, Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, displayed no such reticence.
In a discussion with reporters in Washington two days before Mr Brennan's testimony, she made clear that the civilian government in Islamabad views America's continued deployment of drones as a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty, as well as strategically counter-productive.
"We need to drain this swamp and instead it [the drone campaign] is radicalising people," Ambassador Rehman said.
"It creates more potential terrorists on the ground and militants on the ground instead of taking them out. If it's taking out, say, a high-value or a medium-value target, it's also creating probably an entire community of future recruits."
Recent polling tends to support Ambassador Rehman's view.
An estimated 74% of Pakistanis polled by Pew last year termed the United States an "enemy." Drones are a clear factor.
Mr Brennan says the administration takes into account the potential backlash from ongoing counter-terrorism operations.
But rather than address Pakistani concerns publicly as part of a long-term public diplomacy approach, the Obama administration has chosen, at least at the moment, to pretend the problem does not exist.
It refuses to acknowledge (despite widespread news reports) the existence of a drone campaign in Pakistan.
Whether this approach is sustainable and for how long is an open question.
According to Pakistani authorities, whether or not there was close co-ordination regarding drone operations in the past, there is none now.
Ambassador Rehman denies that Pakistan criticises the use of drones in public, but co-operates in private.
"There is no question of any quiet complicity. No question of wink and nod," she insisted.
This represents a genuine conundrum for the Obama administration. There is no question that drone strikes have been a major factor in virtually eliminating the strategic threat posed by core al-Qaeda.
But what started out as a strategic campaign against high-value targets has morphed into something far more tactical.
Drones are increasingly employed not against al-Qaeda operatives plotting attacks against the American homeland, but to target lower-level Taliban forces that continue to attack US forces in Afghanistan.
Presumably, Washington wants to keep up pressure on al-Qaeda's sanctuary in the tribal areas until US forces withdraw from Afghanistan in 2014.
But at what cost?
At the start of the Obama administration, strengthening of civilian governmental institutions in Pakistan was considered the long-term solution to extremism linked to Pakistan.
Now the drone campaign undercuts the very civilian government the United States is spending billions in aid to build up.
Relations between the two countries have stabilised, but the lack of trust remains deep.
The Pakistani parliament has made clear that drones are a "red line", one Washington chooses for the moment to ignore, putting its long-term standing and influence with Pakistan in jeopardy.
"Every time there is a drone strike, you see it on 40 channels at least in Pakistan," said Ambassador Rehman.
"They lend an unfortunate view of US power and how the United States projects its power abroad."
Drones may be a key element in the US strategy, but as Ambassador Rehman makes clear, they are "not part of our playbook. The time for drone strikes is really over."
But based on the Brennan hearing, there is no indication the United States plans to follow her advice any time soon.
The ex-Chelsea trainee, 25, has signed a three-and-a-half year deal.
Cork will not face Saints on Sunday as the deal was completed after Friday's 12:00 GMT registration deadline.
"We pushed in the summer to bring him in and when the opportunity came up again we were very happy to bring him to the club," said Swansea manager Garry Monk.
Cork, who is the son of former Cardiff boss Alan Cork, would have been a free agent in the summer when his Saints deal was due to expire.
Southampton manager Ronald Koeman said earlier this month that the club had offered Cork a new contract.
Cork told Swansea's website: "It had come to the point where myself and the [Southampton] club had gone as far as we could go.
"The opportunity of a new challenge at Swansea is something I'm looking forward to.
"Swansea are a good footballing team who have been very successful over the last few years.
"It's a team I've always looked at and admired, so for me to play in this team is a privilege."
Swansea visit St Mary's on Sunday, but Koeman said ahead of his departure there was "no chance" of Cork playing against the Saints in that match.
Plans for Felixstowe Pier, which was built in the early 1900s, also include an observation tower, retail units and a restaurant.
Designer Haydn Evans said the new-look pier could be open by Easter 2014 if Suffolk Coastal District Council approves the plans.
"It's going to be much more than just a family amusement centre," he said.
The pier, owned by Pier Amusements, currently houses an amusement centre.
Mr Evans, who is leading the project for Haydn Evans Consulting in Ipswich, said the design incorporated an outdoor promenade, but he would not say how much the project would cost.
The existing boardwalk has been closed to the public for several years.
"It was partially blown up during the Second World War to stop the Germans using it and then further reduced in the 50s," said Mr Evans.
"Unfortunately the concrete piles are fatally corroded and the timber beams supporting the existing deck are also rotten.
"The new pier is being built out further to sea, it will be possible for people to walk out over the sea and look back towards Felixstowe."
Conservative councillor Geoff Holdcroft, cabinet member for leisure, said it was a "bold and imaginative proposal".
"If it could be turned into reality [it] could be a really exciting new attraction for Felixstowe," he said.
He said the official consultation period had begun and the council would seek the views of the public and "relevant official bodies".
The plans also propose that the area in front of the pier is "remodelled".
Howie Whyte, 51, has been a volunteer crew member at Drumnadrochit-based RNLI Loch Ness since 2008.
He competed with 50 other RNLI volunteers from across UK and Ireland for the single place with the Icelandic Lifeboat Service.
Mr Whyte's trip was organised by the European Lifeboat Crew Exchange.
His experiences in Iceland included taking part in a night-time helicopter rescue training exercise in a Force 7 gale.
Mr Whyte also had a close encounter with Iceland's large marine wildlife while on another training exercise.
A bus carrying four players to the course took two hours to complete a trip that normally takes 15-20 minutes.
Being more than five minutes late usually results in disqualification but officials decided to waive the rule because of "exceptional circumstances".
World number one Inbee Park carded six birdies for a three-stroke lead.
Park was on an earlier bus that, though delayed, arrived well before her tee time.
The 27-year-old shot a five-under 67 to move to 10 under, with fellow South Korean Sei Young Kim in second.
Halfway leader Minjee Lee slipped seven shots off the pace after a three-over 75.
American Angela Stanford, who finished the day nine shots off the lead after a four-over 76, was one of the players on the delayed bus.
She tweeted: "Learning that GPS is a wonderful thing. Hour in a bus and still no sign of the golf course.
"Two hours and 15 min later we arrive. Thank you LPGA for letting us play!"
The 35-year-old Swiss will take part in Andy Murray Live, the world number one's charity exhibition event at Glasgow's SSE Hydro in November.
"He's just extremely popular," said Murray, 29. "He's one of the best players that's ever played the game.
"It's not just how much he's won, but the way he plays and carries himself."
Federer accepted Murray's invitation after he agreed to play at the Swiss star's own charity event in April after scheduled participation at tournaments in Dubai, Indian Wells and Miami.
Murray added: "I saw a little video where he was wearing a kilt when he was announcing that I was going to play in his event over in Switzerland.
"He's returning the favour in November. It's really good he's doing it.
"He said a few years ago he wants to go to places he's not been. It's great."
Murray's first exhibition in Glasgow sold out in 48 hours and raised £300,000 for children's charities.
Here is a round-up of reaction to the BBC's decision, along with a statement from director general Tony Hall.
"This has been a difficult time for the team and also obviously for the individuals concerned.
"What we know is that the producer Oisin Tymon was indeed attacked by Jeremy Clarkson and he was then subjected to sustained to verbal abuse of the sort that no one should have to endure.
"We all know that Jeremy is a huge talent and has made an extraordinary contribution to the BBC. I've always been a great fan of his work on Top Gear. I also believe that his voice and voices like his have a really important place in the BBC. But not at any price.
"Physical violence accompanied by prolonged verbal abuse has, in my view, crossed a line and that's why with regret I have decided we will not be renewing Jeremy's contract.
"People love Top Gear, I love Top Gear. Our priority now is to look to the future and how we can bring it back in great shape in 2016 and yes, of course, it will be different.
"I also want to make sure that Oisin is properly looked after.
"But I just want to end by saying to Jeremy a very big thank you for nearly 25 years of remarkable programming on Top Gear and to wish him the very, very best for the future."
"I don't really have anything to say about it. It's a tragedy. I'm sorry that what ought to have been a small incident sorted out easily has turned into something big.
"I'm sure Top Gear will continue in some way - it existed before us, it's been reformatted several times.
"I don't want to talk about [who will replace Clarkson] too much, but I think of the three of us as a package. It works for very complicated reasons that a lot of people don't fully understand. So that will require a lot of careful thought
"As much as I think he's a knob, I quite like working with Jeremy."
"Gutted at such a sad end to an era. We're all three of us idiots in our different ways but it's been an incredible ride together."
"Tony Hall was backed into a corner and was unable to make any other decision.
"If this had been kept confidential and investigated there would have been far more options available. At the moment we've lost Top Gear, Jeremy is off the BBC and the corporation probably suffers by about £100m a year. It needed to be investigated, but there was a brighter way to go about it.
"There could have been damages [paid] to the producer, financial penalties to Jeremy, suspension or a cooling down period - all of it could have been decided away from the public spotlight.
"The BBC may continue to try and push the franchise forward, but like him or loathe him, people tune in to Top Gear for Jeremy and the relationship the three boys bring on screen. That chemistry won't exist anymore."
"It's hard to fault the inquiry, but some will ask whether the BBC had to deal with it in a formalised way.
"There are three issues at play. One: Talent management - broadcast depends on talent and it would appear there was a long-term failure on talent management in this regard.
"Two: How on Earth do you reinvent Top Gear? It's a special programme because of these three characters. Everyone can see it, but creating it is terribly difficult.
"Three: The BBC really doesn't want to appear anti-Jeremy Clarkson. They want to say it's a broad church. Jeremy Clarkson is a valuable part of the BBC's proposition. They won't be lost without him, but they won't be where they were without him, either."
"Tony Hall had no choice. He paid a fulsome and appropriate tribute to Jeremy Clarkson, but verbal abuse on the scale that seems to have taken place is bad enough - if you bash somebody you have no choice. You have to go.
"He's kind of a licensed jester and was able to make inappropriate remarks and get away with it - but this is of a different magnitude. It was a brave but absolutely correct decision.
"It will be very difficult to see him making a comeback to the BBC in any form for at least many years. Maybe he can serve his time, but it's difficult to see that happen.
"The great strength of the BBC is it can reinvent programmes like Top Gear and frequently has done so in the past when stars have moved on. I'm sure they'll do it successfully with Top Gear."
Police found a bag belonging to the student during a raid on a flat in which all the members of the gangs were killed, the interior ministry said.
The gang specialised in abducting foreigners while posing as policemen, it added.
Giulio Regeni's body was found beside a road on the western outskirts of Cairo, a week after he had gone missing.
His body showed signs of torture.
"The security forces on Thursday managed to track down a gang in New Cairo that used to pose as policemen. It specialised in abducting foreigners and robbing them," the ministry said in a statement.
"There was an exchange of fire with the police and all members of the gang were killed."
Mr Regeni, a 28-year-old PhD student at the department of politics and international studies at the University of Cambridge, was a visiting scholar at the American University in Cairo (AUC).
He is reported to have been carrying out research on trade unions and labour rights in Egypt - a sensitive topic in recent years.
He disappeared after leaving his Cairo home to meet on a friend on the evening of 25 January, which was the fifth anniversary of the start of the uprising against former President Hosni Mubarak, when there was a heavy police presence in Cairo.
When his body was found, prosecutors said there were bruises, knife wounds and cigarette burns all over his body suggesting he had suffered a "slow death".
Rights groups and opposition figures speculated that he was killed by members of the Egyptian security forces - claims Cairo had strongly denied.
Italy's government has been putting pressure on Egypt to find those responsible for Mr Regeni's death.
The all-out strikes will take place from 08:00 BST to 17:00 BST from 12 to 16 September with more dates to follow.
The British Medical Association took the step after members rejected the deal brokered between the union and government earlier this year.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said it was "devastating news" for patients.
Mr Hunt said people would be asking why the BMA, which had "championed this deal as a good deal for doctors" were now willing to "inflict the worse doctors' strike in NHS history on patients, making them absolutely miserable".
He added: "Perhaps 100,000 operations will now have to be cancelled, around a million hospital appointments will have to be postponed, causing worry, distress and anxiety for families up and down the country."
And he called again for talks with junior doctor representatives to resolve the ongoing dispute.
The union said members felt the contract did not do enough to reward those who work the most weekends, was unfair on part-time workers and there was strong opposition to the fact that it was being forced on them.
Confidential papers drawn up by the BMA have suggested there could be five days of strikes each month for the rest of the year, the BBC understands.
Junior doctors' row: The basics of the dispute
The announcement reignites the long-running and bitter dispute. Junior doctors have taken part in six days of strikes this year, including two all-out stoppages.
Industrial action was put on hold in May when the two sides got back round the table at conciliation service Acas.
That resulted in a new contract being agreed, which BMA leaders encouraged members to accept.
But when it was put to the vote, 58% of medics rejected it, prompting the resignation of the BMA junior doctor leader Johann Malawana, and ministers to once again announce they would impose the new terms and conditions.
A new junior doctor leader, Dr Ellen McCourt, was appointed and, in August, the committee she leads called for the union's leaders to sanction fresh strikes.
Dr McCourt said action was being taken as the contract, which will start being rolled out in October, "fails to treat all doctors fairly".
"The government has consistently said this is about creating a seven-day NHS, when junior doctors already work weekends and it's been shown that the government has no answer to how it will staff and fund extra weekend care.
"With just weeks before the first group of doctors is moved onto the imposed contract, time is running out. This contract will be in place for many years, it will have a direct impact on patient care and whether we can attract and keep enough doctors in the NHS. It is too important to be rushed to meet a political deadline.
"We have a simple ask of the government: stop the imposition. If it agrees to do this, junior doctors will call off industrial action."
A Department of Health spokesman said: "As doctors' representatives, the BMA should be putting patients first not playing politics in a way that will be immensely damaging for vulnerable patients.
"What's more, the BMA must be the first union in history to call for strike action against a deal they themselves negotiated and said was a good one."

More than 5,000 homes were evacuated in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, amid fears of a tidal surge, but the town was unscathed.
There are currently no severe flood warnings - meaning risk to life - but 148 other alerts and warnings remain.
Residents in parts of the Suffolk coast have been told it is safe to return.
Suffolk Police said people in Lowestoft could go back to their homes.
Residents were braced as gale-force winds and higher than usual tides were expected to bring waves crashing over coastal defences along the east coast.
The Environment Agency said things were not as bad as predicted because the "combination of the peak surge, strongest winds and largest waves didn't coincide in all areas, and did not reach the most dangerous levels that were possible all along the east coast".
In east Suffolk, 1,800 residents were told to leave their homes. Meanwhile, about 140 residents in Jaywick, Mistley and West Mersea in Essex evacuated ahead of high tide at about 00:15 GMT on Saturday.
More than 200 people took shelter at a rest centre in Jaywick.
Further along the Norfolk coast, 80 homes were evacuated in Walcott, south of Cromer.
Residents in Great Yarmouth - where some refused to leave their homes - have expressed relief as the town escaped a battering.
Charles Osborne, 52, said: "The river did get pretty high but I didn't think it would ever go over the walls. I guess it was a lot of panicking but you can't be too careful."
From the BBC:
Elsewhere:
Jess Hudson, 19, from Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk, said: "I didn't think it would be as bad [floods in 2013] but people were worried and they'll be relieved the worst seems to have passed."
Great Yarmouth Council defended its evacuation plan and said it was not an overreaction.
Council leader Graham Plant said: "We're very grateful to all the people from all over the country who came here to help us.
"I don't believe we overreacted... If [the water] had breached, the residents would have been so grateful to have those people there to help them."
Norfolk Police thanked residents and volunteers for their support "in ensuring that the flood risks were minimised".
In Essex, police said the warnings were grounded in science and advice from the Environment Agency and the Met Office.
"We prepare for the worst case scenario and we would be happy to take the same decision again should we be faced with the same advice as we have had over the last 36 hours," Deputy Chief Constable Matthew Horne said.
In a statement, the force added the Environment Agency had been unable to predict just how bad the situation might be as the likelihood of flooding was "so finely balanced".
Only a few people remain at the rest centre in Jaywick this morning.
Last night 230 people bedded down - including an 18-day-old baby - but probably about 20 remain, most waiting for special transport.
There's very much an atmosphere of relief as the centre winds down.
There are blankets to fold and hospital beds to remove, but the centre has promised to stay open as long as it's needed.
And there's still lots of toast and jam, and coffee on offer.
About 200 army troops from the Wiltshire-based King's Royal Hussars and gunners from RAF Honington in Suffolk were drafted in to help evacuate homes in Great Yarmouth.
Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service said it attended a few incidents to "assist with flooding", including rescuing people stuck in flood water and assisting "with emergency lighting at an evacuation centre" in Walcott.
Further up the east coast similar flood warnings were in place.
A number of coastal roads were closed and the local council asked people to stay away from Whitby harbour while emergency services dealt with a number of incidents there.
North Yorkshire Fire Service dealt with flooding in nearby Sandsend on Friday and issued a warning asking people not to view the high tides.
Humberside Police said the high tide in Bridlington had passed "without serious incident" but said high waves had been reported along the coast.
The BBC Weather Centre said Friday's winds are dying down and most places on the east coast should see some sunshine, although some sleet or snow flurries are likely in some areas.
The weather on Sunday is forecast to be similar, but more grey.
The Environment Agency's flood duty manager, Doug Wilson, said teams were out inspecting and repairing any damaged defences.
"We will continue to warn and inform the public of flood risks, as necessary," he added.
High tides passes Lincolnshire without incident
How cold is it where you are?
What causes a storm surge?
The principal cause of a storm surge is high winds pushing the seawater towards the coast.
There is also a smaller contribution from the low pressure at the centre of the storm "pulling" the water level up - a similar effect to what happens when you drink through a straw.
The strong winds can generate large waves on top of the surge which can then damage sea defences or cause water to spill over the top of defences, which increases the flood risk to coastal communities.

Until now the parties had been under the impression they had the benefit of a safety net that would allow Permanent Secretary of the Finance Department, David Sterling to pass an emergency 95% budget if an act has not passed through the assembly by the end of July.
A 5% cut to departmental coffers sounds unpleasant and potentially damaging to the provision of public services, but not a doomsday scenario.
However, the Arlene Foster paper introduces the added complication that Mr Sterling won't be able to authorise the Stormont departments to use other amounts, such as EU farm payments, fees from planning applications and money from pension funds.
This cash is known in accountant's jargon as 'accruing resources'.
The best piece of legislation I can find dealing with these resources appears to be the government Resources and Accounts Act (Northern Ireland) 2001.
Section seven of the explanatory notes makes the point that the 95% safety net option "applies only to the release of cash from the consolidated fund and cannot therefore cover the use of resources".
Adding these 'accruing resources' to the potential 5% cut means that, according to the Foster paper, David Sterling would have no option other than to impose a £2.8bn cut, which would puncture a very large hole through the middle of his safety net.
Expect the parties to wrangle over the figures. The welfare reform critics won't accept the Foster paper at face value.
Indeed, the Sinn Féin controlled agriculture department believes farm payments may still be authorised under European rules. However, the DUP will no doubt insist that the crisis can only be resolved if the Stormont House Agreement is implemented.
As things stand, Sinn Fein still appears intent on putting a "petition of concern" down against the Welfare Reform Bill if and when it comes to the assembly on Tuesday.
The SDLP, if they stick by their previous policy, might be expected to sign such a petition. However, there are indications that the Arlene Foster paper may have given the party serious pause for thought.
If the measure is vetoed, what's been dubbed a "zombie" executive may stagger on a bit longer, with London reluctant to take direct control of welfare and the DUP and Sinn Féin at logger heads over the way forward.
Then we might find out just how many pounds sterling we have in the David Sterling safety net.
Lucas Piazon headed Fulham into an early lead from Cauley Woodrow's cross from the right before Aaron Wilbraham levelled before the break for City.
Fulham missed the chance to retake the lead after the interval when Woodrow had a penalty saved by Ivan Lucic.
Callum O'Dowda's low cross then found Abraham to poke home City's second.
Abraham had come off the bench to score the decisive goal, the 18-year-old's ninth in only 11 appearances since joining on loan from Chelsea.
O'Dowda, himself a summer addition from Oxford United, was the provider for both of the Robins' goals.
His surging run to the edge of the area and neat ball in allowed Wilbraham to dink the ball over Fulham goalkeeper Jesse Joronen.
O'Dowda then calmly picked out Abraham's run to the near post as Joronen was unable to get enough on the ball to stop it crossing the line.
Earlier Piazon, another Chelsea loanee, had given Fulham the perfect start but they ultimately paid the price for Woodrow's missed penalty after the break.
The striker failed to convert his chance from 12 yards after Taylor Moore was booked for fouling him.
Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic said:
"You have to play from the first minute to the last in all the games. It's disappointing for us but we made many chances in the first half, we missed the penalty in the second half.
"To be honest, at the end of the game Bristol City had some very good chances, and then scored the goal in the last minute.
"On the other side, I managed to make the team believe it can do it, and we were very close.
"We played many minutes of good football and we created the chances. We played very well in the first half."
Bristol City manager Lee Johnson said:
"Tammy Abraham comes on again, he's the trump card for the last 20 minutes and I'm delighted for him to carry the weight of us yet again.
"The world is his oyster, the test will be does he keep his feet on the ground? I think he will, he's got his family behind him.
"I think had they scored the penalty, I still believe this group would have had chances to get back in it because they don't know when to throw the towel in.
"I'm really chuffed, I'm quite proud actually. We've got a lot of young players on the pitch, in the first half Fulham were the better side but the second half we were outstanding."

The Sharks make six changes, with 23-year-old prop James Flynn starting for the first time this season.
Bath, who need a bonus-point win and fourth-placed Leicester to get nothing at Worcester in order to reach the play-off spots, make four changes..
Luke Charteris, Anthony Watson and Nathan Catt are all absent.

Phillips, 34, - who announced his retirement in April - makes his final appearance at scrum-half while Magnus Lund and Peter Stringer are on the bench ahead of their departure from the club at the end of the season.
Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder told BBC Radio Bristol:
"It would be really nice to make the play-offs but we are relying on someone else. You want your destiny in your own hands.
"But there's a lot of pride at stake for us. Sale are going to want to win too. We are playing for the club and personal pride.
"We have got to raise the bar this summer and set better standards for ourselves."

This poverty has become an issue in the mid-term election race that pits Mary Landrieu, a Democrat who's already been senator for 18 years, against Republican Congressman Bill Cassidy.
Ms Landrieu's supporters insist she has done a lot for poor families. Her opponents say it's not enough and she is just a lackey of President Barack Obama.
In fact, Mr Obama seems to be just as important a figure in this campaign as either of the candidates, and his name isn't even on the ballot.
BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty assesses the victors' display, while former Scotland striker Steve Thompson gives his marks out of 10 for Gordon Strachan's team.
A quiet night but did what he had to do effectively.
Has a licence to cause damage in attack and did so with fierce cross for Daniel Sturridge's goal.
Decent evening despite picking up a booking. Scored England's third headed goal from a corner to kill off Scotland.
Sloppy, too risky and conceded possession in the first half. Vital block from Snodgrass early in the second.
Excellent all-round performance and always willing to lend weight in attack. Provided a fine cross for Adam Lallana's goal.
Disappointing. Unable to exert his influence or act as the base in midfield.
Energetic and improved as the game went on, with Scotland fading in the middle of the park.
Good corner for Gary Cahill's goal did not really sparkle otherwise.
Mixed bag. Subjected to physical attention from the Scots, underlining his threat, but missed an incredible second-half sitter.
England's best performer. Good control, vision and another important England goal, with a very well taken header.
A performance that justified Gareth Southgate's faith with a brilliant instinctive header to break the deadlock.
Did nothing of note.
No chance with goals and had little else to do other than pick the ball out of his net.
A surprise choice but the Derby winger defended well considering he wasn't in his natural position.
Scotland's best player on the night after a long absence from the international scene. Offered a real threat going forward and worked tirelessly.
Played better than in Slovakia and unlucky at first goal after making a good block. Wasted a great chance to equalise, failing to hit the target from a free header.
Given a rare start and did well to keep England's danger men quiet for large periods.
The captain's desire and work rate are never in question but he was too often loose in possession.
Back from his short-lived international retirement but for how long? The Celtic captain gave the midfield energy and aggression as expected.
Largely ineffectual. Didn't get on the ball enough to make a positive impact. Again, a surprise inclusion given his lack of game time at West Brom.
Missed a glorious opportunity to level the game early in the second half, dragging a shot wide from near the penalty spot. Another player guilty of giving the ball away too often.
Provided some threatening set-pieces. Really should have scored not long after James Forrest's miss when he had a good sight at goal.
Led the line well with positive energy in the first half. However, made a poor decision not to play in Robert Snodgrass on a good counter-attack. Tired in the second half as Scotland meekly surrendered.
The game was over when he came on, very difficult to make an impression.
On for the injured Anya. Not given much to do since England were content to keep the ball and didn't pose much of a threat.
Too late to make an impact.
It is expected teachers will need a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) qualification to drive a minibus from 1 January 2018.
Earlier this month, the BBC revealed new restrictions meant many teachers could not continue to drive minibuses.
The Education Authority (EA) said this was due to a DVA legal interpretation.
However, the Department for Infrastructure, which has responsibility for the DVA, has now said that the new interpretation and guidance on the law will not come into effect until at least 1 January.
"The guidance is likely to confirm that paid drivers will no longer be able to drive a minibus on their D1 (not for hire or reward) driving licence, and that some volunteer drivers, undertaking commercial passenger transport activities, may also require a full D or D1 driving licence," it said.
"Given recent concerns as to the impact of these changes on a number of sectors, the department can confirm that the draft guidance will only come into effect on approval by an incoming minister."
"Therefore, at present, those who drive a minibus for an organisation under the small bus permit scheme do not need a full D1 entitlement."
Due to the failure to form an executive there is no infrastructure minister at present.
Some principals have warned the change will have "huge implications" for schools.
They said that they would have to hire cars, taxis and buses to fulfil sports fixtures or take field trips as a result.
Principals also expressed concern that they would have to pay thousands of pounds to train teachers to obtain the driver CPC qualification.
Previously, staff who held a licence that qualified them to drive a car would also have been able to drive a school minibus.
The revised guidance from the DVA will state that teachers must have a D1 licence and a driver's qualification card to do so.
The EA letter to principals, issued in June, stated that if this was not the case there would be serious consequences.
"If this criteria cannot be met, any journey undertaken by staff will not be considered legal and may leave the driver and the employer facing prosecution and penalties," it stated.
"It is imperative that the school at all times and you satisfy yourself that the relevant criteria have been met before authorising employees to drive a minibus."
However, the new guidance from the DVA will only now come into effect on 1 January 2018 and then only if approved by an infrastructure minister.
Therefore teachers, and others in paid employment, who currently drive school minibuses will be able to continue to drive them when the new school year begins in September.
Melanie Woolcock from Porthcawl was given an 81-day sentence by Bridgend magistrates in July 2016 for failing to pay £10 a week towards her debt.
She spent 40 days behind bars before a charity helped secure her release.
In a decision on Wednesday, Mr Justice Lewis ruled she should never have been imprisoned.
Ms Woolcock told BBC News she happened to walk into the prison library and found details of a charity which helps women in prison and contacted them, which helped to secure her release.
She said she has since been approached by university law departments asking her to support efforts to change the law, to stop others ending up in a similar situation.
London's High Court heard Ms Woolcock owed more than £4,700.
She said she was too sick to work and struggled to pay rent and feed herself and her teenage son, so had defaulted on repayments.
She told BBC News she has never committed a crime or had a parking ticket.
"When I came home [from prison], I didn't realise the effect it had on me, I couldn't sleep.
"My son was traumatised in the manner I was taken. I had to leave my son screaming, crying."
She said she was up to date with the payments when she was jailed, but was told she had paid too late.
"I think it's wrong that if you're struggling with a bill that you are sent to a prison full of criminals when I've never committed a crime in my entire life, never had a parking ticket."
A Bridgend county council spokesman said authorities had a legal responsibility to collect unpaid council tax, but offer support and help to anyone who is experiencing difficulty and prosecution is always a last resort.
He added: "We understand that the resident in this case was jailed after failing to meet the requirements of the suspended sentence issued by the magistrates' court.
"Our advice to anyone who is experiencing difficulty paying their council tax is to contact us as early as possible so that we can help and advise them." | Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has infuriated people from Alberta, after failing to give the province a shout-out on Canada Day.

Keane Wallis-Bennett, 12, died at Liberton High School in April 2014.
The inquiry into her death has been taking place at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
Mark Hatfield, an inspector for the Health and Safety Executive, was asked about evidence which had been given by a fellow pupil at the school.
The pupil had described "mucking about" with a friend in the changing room by leaning against the wall with their feet up on the opposite wall.
Fiscal depute Gary Aitken said the girl could not remember whether she and her friend had been doing this at the same time or separately.
"If one of the girls was acting in the manner described, is it possible that may be the reason the wall collapsed?" he asked.
Mr Hatfield replied: "If the wall was only partially cracked, I do not believe it possible for a single girl to have caused it to fall.
"If the wall was already fully cracked, it is possible a single girl, acting in the way described, may have made the wall fall."
He added that if two girls had been acting simultaneously and the wall was fully cracked, it would "turn possibility into probability".
The parties involved in the inquiry will make their submissions on Friday.
The body of Jorge Mauricio Melendez Herrera, 20, was found on Friday in Ciudad Juarez, with signs of torture.
Investigators said Mr Melendez was part of the first ring of security guarding the outside of the jail in the city.
Guzman has previously escaped from two top security prisons in Mexico.
Who is 'El Chapo' Guzman?
January 2001: Escaped from Puente Grande maximum security prison, reportedly hiding in a laundry basket
February 2014: Captured after 13 years on the run in a hotel in Sinaloa state
July 2015: Escaped via tunnel from Altiplano prison
January 2016: Recaptured in city of Los Mochis, Sinaloa state
May 2016: Moved from Altiplano maximum security prison to a jail in Ciudad Juarez, near the US border
A forensic expert said Mr Melendez had died from a blow to the back of the neck. He had also been stabbed a number of times.
His body was identified after his family reported him missing.
Officials said the case was currently with authorities in Chihuahua state, where the jail is located, but could be passed on to federal investigators because of the victim's job guarding Guzman.
Three hundred soldiers have been deployed from nearby barracks to boost security at the prison in Ciudad Juarez.
He was moved there at the beginning of May from the maximum security Altiplano prison. Officials said the move was part of a routine rotation for security reasons.
How authorities hope to stop another escape
The United States has asked for Guzman's extradition so he can stand trial on drug trafficking charges there.
While Mexico has agreed, Guzman's lawyer is currently appealing.
The US has in the past expressed concern about whether Mexico can keep Guzman locked up after he twice escaped from maximum security jails.
Eleven guards and officials are in prison pending trial on charges that they helped the drug lord escape from Altiplano prison through a 1.5km-long tunnel last year.
And on Tuesday, a regional lawmaker from the state of Sinaloa was stripped of her post for her alleged links with Guzman.
Lucero Guadalupe Sanchez Lopez allegedly visited Guzman in prison prior to his jailbreak in July 2015, giving a false identity.
But he's the latest in a long line of amazing animal record breakers - Newsround's got your top five.
Jiff smashed the world record for being the fastest dog on two paws.
He took just under 8 seconds to cover five metres on his front paws and was even quicker on his hinds legs, completing the same distance in less than 7 seconds.
Chris the sheep set a Guinness World Record for having the most wool shaved in a single sitting.
Chris' coat was dangerously big and he needed a life-saving shave.
Five shearers volunteered to help and together the team removed 41.1 kilograms of wool.
Chris is now well and has found a new home on a farm.
A French sheepdog called Norman became the fastest canine to travel 30 metres on a scooter.
The three-year-old covered the distance in twenty one seconds - nine seconds under the previous world record.
This hairy cat called Colonel Meow broke the record for having the longest fur.
The Colonel is a Himalayan-Persian cross and at its longest his fur reaches 22.97cm (that's nearly the length of a school ruler).
They're not strictly animal record breakers, but this record wouldn't have been possible without cows and their poo!
This bus powered by cow poo set a new land speed record for a bus after reaching speeds of almost 77mph.
Yu Shaolei, an editor at Southern Metropolis Daily, posted a resignation note online, saying he could no longer follow the Communist Party line.
He also uploaded a message wishing those responsible for censoring his social media account well.
Chinese media outlets are subject to censorship, with government control tightening in recent years.
Mr Yu, who edited the cultural section of the newspaper, posted a photo of his resignation form on his Sina Weibo microblog account on Monday evening.
Under the "reason for resignation" section, he wrote: "Unable to bear your surname".
This was a reference to Chinese President Xi Jinping's tour of state media outlets in February, when he said journalists must give absolute loyalty to the Communist Party, and "bear the surname of the Party".
Mr Yu's post was quickly deleted, although a cached copy was still viewable on monitoring sites online.
He wrote: "I'm getting old, and my knees can't stand it after so many years [of kneeling]."
He added what appeared to be a tongue-in-cheek apology to the censors responsible for monitoring his social media account.
"To the person responsible for watching my weibo feed and notifying their superiors about what to delete, you can heave a sigh of relief now, apologies for causing you stress over the last few years, and I sincerely wish your career will head in a new direction."
When approached by the BBC, Mr Yu said he did not wish to comment further, and that he had said everything he wanted to say on social media.
It is not known if he has received any admonishment from the authorities, the BBC's John Sudworth in Beijing reports.
A columnist at the same paper, Li Xin, who disappeared in mysterious circumstances in Thailand after claiming he had been forced to inform on fellow journalists, is now back in police custody in China, our correspondent adds.
And last month, a front-page editor at Southern Metropolis Daily was fired after the headlines on one of the newspaper's front pages, when combined with a headline from another story, allegedly contained a veiled criticism of the government's demand that media "bear the surname of the Party".
In recent weeks, China detained more than 20 people following the publication of a letter calling on President Xi to resign on state-backed website Wujie News.
Those detained included journalists linked to the website, employees at a related technology company, and prominent columnist Jia Jia, who has since been released.
Two overseas Chinese dissidents also say their relatives have been detained in connection with the letter.
Wen Yunchao, who lives in the US, said he believed his parents and his brother had been detained because authorities were trying to pressure him to reveal information. But he told the BBC that he knew nothing about the letter.
Meanwhile, German-based writer Zhang Ping, also known by his penname Chang Ping, said three of his siblings had been detained and that Chinese police had demanded that he stop writing in German media.
Mr Zhang said he had written about the letter, but had no other connection to it.
Authorities in China said they were investigating Mr Zhang's relatives on suspicion of arson.
The Colin Bloomfield Sun Meter was installed in Markeaton Park, Derby, to measure ultraviolet rays (UV).
The 33-year-old BBC Radio Derby presenter launched an appeal shortly before he died last year to provide UV sun meters in public places.
A second UV meter and sun shade has been planned for West Park, in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, later this summer.
Updates on this story and more from Derbyshire
The sun meter advises people on what action to take depending on the strength of the sun, such as going into the shade or putting on sun cream.
In 2013, Mr Bloomfield was diagnosed with stage four melanoma and later launched the Colin Bloomfield Melanoma Appeal, raising almost £175,000.
Station listener, John Williams, unveiled the metre and said he was successfully treated for a cancerous mole after hearing Mr Bloomfield's story.
"My melanoma was detected at an early stage, you couldn't get it earlier," Mr Williams said.
"Colin has made a tremendous impact on me... he saved my life.
"I just want to give him a big hug and say thanks."
"My melanoma story started when I was 21. A mole on my thigh had changed colour, shape and size. I should have been concerned, but wasn't.
"On New Years Eve 2001, a dermatologist confirmed it was skin cancer. I was terrified. At that age, you're invincible.
"The cancer was cut out at a hospital. Regular check-ups followed and with no recurrence during five years of visits, I was effectively discharged. My life continued.
"One morning...I woke up to discover a lump under my groin. 10 years after my first visit there, I returned to the hospital.
"I was told the cancer had come back, it was stage four and it was as bad as it could get."
The presenter's appeal was launched in conjunction with Derby Telegraph and charity Skcin, which specialises in skin cancer prevention.
Money raised funded the Sun Safe Schools programme to teach thousands of schoolchildren about sun safety, as well as UV meters and sun shades.
A public sun shade was installed at Alvaston Park, in Derby, in April.
The government has said it will not hand powers on corporation tax to Stormont unless the parties reach agreement on welfare reform.
The airport's Managing Director Graham Keddie said it was important there were no delays.
He was speaking on BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Business programme.
"Decisions have to be made, things have to be done in the business world," he said.
"We can't hold back and operate at a different speed.
"Unless we take part in the wider business world and say we're open for business, how are the executive going to move forward and how's it going to assist Invest NI in getting business and investment here into Northern Ireland?"
Meanwhile, the businessman who chaired Northern Ireland's air route development fund, Bill McGinnis, has said the Stormont executive should "seriously consider" setting up a new scheme to attract more direct flights.
"With the new economic development model we're now looking towards, with corporation tax, minister Foster has to decide where best to place her bets to get the best return," he said.
"But I think there's probably an opportunity to do that."
He added that the success of the first fund, which also established the Belfast to New York flight, could be repeated.
He said: "That £4m last time generated serious money for the economy, and if you imagine the extra jobs here, those passengers helped create inward tourists.
"All that money was spent in Northern Ireland and if you didn't have that, the people wouldn't be here."

The $1m prize is awarded each year to an individual who is judged able to spark global change.
Dr Parcak is using the money to set up a website to crowdsource as yet undiscovered sites around the world.
The so-called citizen scientists will also be called on to spot and report looting at existing sites.
Dr Parcak is known as a space archaeologist because she uses satellite imagery collected above the Earth and analyses it using algorithms to identify subtle changes that could signal a hidden human-made structure.
Her satellite mapping of Egypt has already suggested the existence of 17 hitherto unknown pyramids, 1,000 tombs and 3,100 settlements.
Each TED prizewinner must articulate how they will spend the money via a "wish". Dr Parcak's is to get the world more engaged in archaeology.
"I wish for us to discover the millions of unknown archaeological sites across the globe," she said.
"By creating a 21st Century army of global explorers, we'll find and protect the world's hidden heritage, which contains humankind's collective resilience and creativity."
Her website will offer the public access to satellite imagery and tutorials to help spot potential sites.
Users will be asked to fill in a checklist of what they have seen. Although they will be given imagery, they will not know the exact location of the sites they are exploring to prevent possible looting or misuse of information.
"If 50 people say that they have seen a tomb, then we will think that it is worth a look," she explained.
She added that the site would be launched in a game format. Users will be given points and high-scorers could win the opportunity to be involved in digs via social media if archaeologists follow up their discoveries.
"Archaeology is currently at a tipping point," she told the TED audience on accepting her prize.
"Isil is blowing up and looting temples in Iraq and Syria. If we don't do something, these sites will be gone."
The volunteers will also be called on to spot evidence of sites being raided and treasures stolen by locals who are desperate for money.
Dr Parcak's team has spent the last six months looking for looting pits in Egypt, which are distinctive and relatively easy to identify.
She said they had uncovered evidence of excavations across the country where people had tunnelled underneath to steal mummies, jewellery and other valuables.
"We can't keep up, we are losing the battle. It is heartbreaking," she said.
She hopes that by engaging an army of citizen scientists, some of the treasures at the ancient sites in the Middle East can be saved.
"If the platform can detect looting early enough we can alert the authorities and start protecting the site," she said.
Ofsted said "too many children" were being left in situations of "risk of significant harm for too long" because dangers were not recognised.
It rated children's services as inadequate and said standards had "deteriorated significantly" since it was last rated inadequate in 2011.
The council admitted it had "fallen short" but has made "major changes".
The report, which covered an inspection period from 27 February to 23 March, said it had "serious concerns" about the services' senior leadership team.
It said a "lack of management oversight" was leaving children in "situations of risk" and its findings - along with an "unprecedented number of whistleblowing concerns" - showed that management was "failing to protect children and families".
Inspectors found a "significant number" of cases being referred back to the local authority because managers and social workers "failed to identify children at risk" or "respond appropriately to escalating risks in families".
The report also found only 60% of children were risk assessed within an "appropriate timescale", that current systems and processes were "ineffective" and that an "unprecedented number" of staff had raised concerns about a "culture of bullying and blame".
In a statement, the council said it has "changed the leadership team" and "made some major changes in management".
"Our social workers do very difficult and complex work - they are not to blame," a spokesperson said.
"The responsibility lies with their leadership and management team and we have taken swift action to deal with this."
Chief Executive Pete Bungard, said it has also brought in "social work specialists" to lead its staff.
"I am sorry that we have not supported our children and their families as quickly as we should have done," he said.
"We will continue to work very closely with the Department for Education, Ofsted and the Local Government Association."
Jack Clifford, Ollie Devoto and Paul Hill could make their debuts in what will be Jones' first match in charge.
Uncapped duo Maro Itoje and Elliot Daly will travel to Edinburgh as reserves.
Saracens' Itoje may yet feature in the match-day squad, with Courtney Lawes battling a hamstring injury.
Assistant coach Steve Borthwick told BBC Sport that Northampton lock Lawes did not train on Tuesday but was hopeful he would play.
"Courtney is working hard on his recovery. He was working well with the physios and hopefully he'll be fit and healthy for Saturday," said the former England second-rower.
Sale forward Josh Beaumont, one of seven uncapped players in England's original 33-man squad, is one of the eight to return to their clubs this weekend.
Kieran Brookes (Northampton Saints), Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs), Matt Kvesic (Gloucester Rugby), Matt Mullan (Wasps), Sam Hill (Exeter Chiefs), Semesa Rokoduguni (Bath Rugby) and Marland Yarde (Harlequins) have also been freed up to play in the Premiership.
England have a new coach, and a new captain in Dylan Hartley, and will aim to atone for becoming the first host nation to fail to progress beyond the World Cup group stages in 2015.
The statistics bode well for Jones, as Scotland have not beaten England in their last eight attempts since 2008, with one draw in 2010.
Scotland have only won their first game of the Six Nations once, in 2006, and have not scored a try against England at Murrayfield since 2004.
Backs: Mike Brown (Harlequins), Danny Care (Harlequins), Ollie Devoto (Bath Rugby), Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Bath Rugby), Alex Goode (Saracens), Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby), Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs), Anthony Watson (Bath Rugby), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers).

Earlier this week Shelter rejected donations from the star, saying they felt they had to take a stand.
In a statement the comedian said: "I think it's important that if we overstep the mark and cause upset that we apologise.
"I'd like to say sorry to those people who I have upset by my comments."
Daniel O'Reilly became well known on the video-sharing app Vine before being handed a show, Dapper Laughs, on ITV2.
But his lad culture-style comedy has been criticised and plans to donate part of the proceeds of his new Christmas album to the homeless were turned down by Shelter.
One song on his album is called A Walk To The Pub... With A Tramp while another is called Proper Moist.
On Twitter he's sent posts including: "Just gave my number to a homeless woman (cracking boobs tho, not sure if her top was low cut or just ripped) closed with: your place or mine?"
His Christmas album has been posted on Spotify, where artists are thought to make around half a penny every time a song is played.
Shelter has started to receive donations from supporters who agree with the charity's decision to reject any money raised.
The charity's CEO Campbell Robb said in a statement: "The fact that 90,000 children will wake up homeless this Christmas is no joke.
"Dapper Laughs's brand of 'comedy' - which is deeply offensive about homeless people, not to mention many others - is something we felt it was important to take a stand against.
"The support from the public has been overwhelming and we've seen a fantastic rise in donations as a result, meaning Shelter can help even more people this Christmas."
The comedian was recently forced to call off his tour of Wales after nearly 1,000 people signed a petition demanding Cardiff University Student's Union cancel a performance because of its "sexist and inappropriate" content.
His Vine channel has had 144 million views, he has 1.7 million followers on Facebook and another 362,000 on Twitter.
There's also a petition online trying to get his TV show cancelled.
An ITV spokesman said about the ITV2 show: "Dapper Laughs: On The Pull features an established internet comedy character created by Daniel O'Reilly.
"ITV2 commissioned a show in which this character is placed within a recognisable TV format, a dating advice show.
"Comedy is subjective and we realise the content of the show might not be to everyone's taste.
"We regret that any of our viewers were offended.
"However, as with all of our shows, the series content was carefully considered, complied and deemed suitable for broadcast."

Athletes were cheered by children and mobbed for selfies as they arrived at Oriam, the new sports performance centre at Heriot-Watt University.
The homecoming event included a Q&A and an opportunity for young people to try Olympic sports such as rowing, judo and tennis, with tips from the athletes.
It was followed by a public celebration in Edinburgh's Festival Square.
Later the athletes attended the Team Scotland Scottish Sports Awards at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
About 50 Scottish Olympic and Paralympic athletes took part in the celebration.
Sportscotland said 18 medallists were at the events which the organisation said demonstrated "Scotland's pride" in what the athletes have achieved.
Double silver medal winning swimmer Duncan Scott said he hoped to encourage athletes of the future.
He said: "The biggest advice I could give is work on the little things.
"I think the whole point of being an athlete is trying to inspire the next generation no matter what level you are at.
"It's so important to carry that and keep it going."
Rio 2016 was Scotland's most successful overseas Olympics, with Scottish competitors securing 13 medals - four gold, seven silver and two bronze.
Cyclists Callum Skinner and Katie Archibald won gold along with rower Heather Stanning and tennis star Andy Murray.
Rower Katherine Grainger's silver medal made her Britain's most decorated female Olympian.
Callum Skinner, who won the silver medal in the individual cycling track sprints and was a member of the British team that won gold in the team sprint in Rio, said he was pleased to see so many young people at the event.
He said: "I was inspired by watching Chris Hoy as a kid and sport should be something for everyone.
"It's a great thing to get involved in so the more kids that get inspired the better.
"My medals are not just for me they are for everyone to pass around to see what they are like.
"I saw Chris' Olympic medals when I was younger and that's something I want to pass on as well."
There were 33 Scottish athletes on the ParalympicsGB team. Between them they won 17 medals - the team's best performance since 2004.
Libby Clegg secured half of the gold haul with her two medals on the track while Jo Butterfield won gold in the F51 club throw while Karen Darke took gold in the cycling H1-3 time trial.
Gordon Reid won gold in the wheelchair tennis men's singles.
Sportscotland chief executive Stewart Harris said earlier this month: "This represents the most successful overseas Games for Scots on Team GB and everyone in Scotland can be very proud of their success.
"It's testament to all the hard work by the athletes, sports, coaches and the collaboration between UK Sport and the sportscotland institute of sport that Scottish athletes are delivering record-breaking performances on the Olympic stage."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the athletes were a credit to Scotland.
She said: "On behalf of the people of Scotland, I would like to offer my congratulations to all of the Scottish Olympians and Paralympians.
"They have done themselves and their country proud and will have inspired the next generation of athletes.
"Today's event was a fantastic way to celebrate the achievements of our athletes and it is hard to think of a more fitting venue for us to do this than at Oriam, Scotland's brand new, world class national performance centre."
Wheelchair tennis star Gordon Reid proudly showed off his gold and silver medals from Rio 2016 at Oriam.
He said: "It's been pretty crazy since I got back, the reception has been incredible.
"To be able to come back and share the success is nice and to see so many kids here is great.
"Hopefully the chance to see a gold or silver medal and maybe try it on will inspire them to go and do the same in the future. Days like this are really important."
Sportscotland chairman Mel Young said Oriam was chosen to stage the first celebration as it will be key to future Scottish sporting success.
"Sometimes in this country we're not so good at celebrating success so this is a big three cheers to everyone involved, and we need to build on it for the future.
"We're creating a world-class system here in Scotland with places like Oriam to create more success in the future but related to that, of course, we want more people participating in sport in the wider community, so it should be a win-win for society."

The Met Office said gusts reached speeds of up to 47mph in Kirkwall on Friday.
The incident was captured on camera by agricultural firm manager Andy Mair.
"There were at least 20 people helping to get it pegged down again," he said.
Sr Clare Theresa Crockett, 33, who was from Derry's Long Tower area, died when a school collapsed in Playa Prieta.
The 7.8-magnitude earthquake killed at least 480 people, and left more than 4,000 injured and 231 missing.
Shauna Gill said that it was a tribute to her sister that people were still so interested in her story a year after her death.
"Over the past year we have had a lot of support from people," Ms Gill told BBC News NI.
"Clare was always happy and loved life.
"To think that a year on people are still writing about her is unbelievable."
Sr Clare and another Irish nun injured in the quake, Sr Thérèse Ryan from County Limerick, were part of the Home of the Mother order.
They had been teaching guitar and singing with five young women postulants, who were entering the religious order, when the earthquake struck.
It is believed they became trapped on a stairwell as they ran out of the building.
Lance Corporal James Ross, who was from Leeds and served in Afghanistan with the 2nd Battalion the Rifles, was found hanging in his room at the County Down barracks in December 2012.
Two months later, Rifleman Darren Mitchell, who was 20 and also served in Afghanistan, was found hanging at the base.
An inquest into their deaths will begin in January.
A preliminary hearing on Friday heard that both soldiers has concerns about disciplinary issues before their deaths.
Details about the eight additional cases of self harm at the County Down base emerged during legal arguments about information being withheld by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The coroner has ordered the MoD to explain, in writing, by next Tuesday, why it should continue to withhold certain information contained in the army inquiry.
Jane Howells has been commissioned by Cornwall councillor, Bert Biscoe, and will be meeting Guernsey politicians and lawmakers in September.
Mrs Howells said: "It's obviously self-contained governance and seems to work extremely well.
"We hope our research will find out if anything can be applied to Cornwall."
The research comes while the UK government's localism bill is being prepared, which will allow governance to be adapted more specifically to the areas in which they operate.
Mrs Howells said: "In Guernsey this is something you've really been working at, developed your laws and enhanced your laws over centuries now.
"We want to see how it works in Guernsey and what elements could be adapted in Cornwall, what we can learn about how you approach things in a slightly less complex way."
Asked if people in the county wanted more autonomy she said: "I think it's necessary and Cornwall is ready for that, very few decisions are actually made in Cornwall at the moment and there's a general feeling that we do need to be making our decisions rather more.
"We are so specific here, which is why we do want to look into somewhere like Guernsey that really does, and has been doing for centuries, work in a way that benefits its population."
The former Cornwall county council commissioned a Mori poll in 2003 which showed 55% of Cornish people were in favour of a democratically-elected, fully devolved regional assembly for Cornwall.
The court heard how the teenager, who called himself DJ Stolen, earned more than 15,000 euros (£13,260) by breaking copyright laws and hacking personal information from a number of singers.
The hacker used phishing emails and Trojan horse software to steal unpublished songs and then offer them for sale on the internet.
Anti-piracy teams in the UK and Germany noticed a growing number of pre-release tracks being leaked much earlier than normal.
Tracks were stolen from Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Leona Lewis, Ke$ha and Mariah Carey in 2009 and 2010.
The teenager, referred to in court as 'Deniz A' because of his age, was also found guilty of downloading explicit private photos from Kesha's computer.
The court in the German city of Duisburg also heard how a letter of apology was published in the Bild, a German tabloid newspaper, from the teenager.
It said: "Dear Lady Gaga, I am ashamed of what I have done. I did not think about the consequences."
The judge ruled that the teen was "driven more by a desire for recognition than by criminal intent".
The 18-year-old was also ordered to have therapy for an addiction to the internet.
Another hacker, 23, whose name wasn't released, was also given an 18 months suspended sentence.
Jeremy Banks, from the International Federation of the Phonograhic Industry (IFPI), which helped with the investigation said the sentences acted as a "deterrent" to others.
He said the crimes caused "huge damage to artists and record companies".
The fire at Fegan's Quarry on the Madden Road in Keady happened in the early hours of Tuesday.
Police have said they are working to establish a motive for the incident.
They are appealing for anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the area, or who has any other information, to contact them.
The woman, in her 40s, died at a block of flats in Ruth Bagnall Court, Cambridge, on Sunday evening.
She got into difficulty with the automatic shutter doors at the entrance to an underground garage, the Cambridge News reported.
Housing group Luminus, which manages the block, said it was assisting the Health and Safety Executive with its inquiries.
Paramedics were called to a report of a woman not breathing in Coleridge Road, the East of England Ambulance Service said.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
A Luminus spokesman said Cambridge Police informed them a woman had died as a result of "an accident involving a car park security shutter" and it was helping the force with its inquiries.
The Californian authorities had claimed Backpage.com's boss and two of its former owners had generated millions of dollars by hosting sex trade ads, some of which involved under-age children.
Prosecutors told the judge Backpage.com had screened the ads on its site.
But the judge ruled they could not be held liable for third parties' actions.
"This court finds it difficult to see any illegal behaviour outside of the reliance upon the content of speech created by others," said Judge Michael Bowman.
His decision was based on 1996's Communications Decency Act, which says publishers should not be held responsible for content created solely by their users.
The case against Backpage.com had alleged that it should not qualify for protection because it "helps pimps and traffickers develop the ads they post".
The site had previously stated it used both an automated system searching for key words and human review to check the contents of every post to its adult section.
But the judge said he needed further evidence that the site was actually involved in the notices' creation.
Charges of pimping a minor, pimping and conspiracy to commit pimping have now been dropped against the site's chief executive, Carl Ferrer, while charges of conspiracy to commit pimping have also been dropped against its ex-owners Michael Lacey and James Larkin.
A spokesman for the business described the attempted prosecution of the men as an "abuse of power".
But California's attorney general, Kamala Harris, who will shortly become a senator for the Democrat Party, said she intended to find other means to hold the men to account.
"We will not turn a blind eye to the defendants' exploitative behaviour simply because they conducted their criminal enterprise online rather than on a street corner," she said.
Despite a substantial injury list that limited them to six players on the night, the Eagles moved out of reach of second-placed Leicester Riders.
Charles Smith played all 40 minutes and scored 27 points to keep the title with Fabulous Flournoy's team.
It completes a treble for Newcastle, after winning the BBL Cup and Trophy.
"When the final buzzer sounded it was indescribable," said Flournoy. "To have a run of winning as much as we have over a 10-year period and to have more than 20 trophies is incredible.
"But we want to continue this legacy and all the team and the club wants to do now is to keep on winning.
"This success was a little bit different because we started off the season with not exactly a question mark, but when I said at the pre-season press conference that this team was potentially special and then we the lost opening game of season, it was interesting.
"From that moment on, it seems like the guys were on a mission and I think we floated under the radar a lot this season in the early days.
"We discovered some incredible rhythm - we played together and it just felt right."
Riders are now guaranteed to finish in second position following Tuesday's 66-63 victory over third-placed Worcester Wolves
Elsewhere, Glasgow Rocks moved up to fifth with a 96-77 win over Surrey United, with Omotayo Ogedengbe scoring 22 points.
Emlyn Culverwell‚ 29, and Iryna Nohai, 27, were reportedly arrested after a doctor discovered Ms Nohai, who had stomach cramps, was pregnant.
They were arrested for sex outside of marriage, which is illegal in the UAE.
Mr Culverwell's mother has pleaded for their release, saying "the only thing they did wrong was fall in love".
South Africa's foreign ministry has said that it is not able to help the couple as this is a matter of domestic UAE law, News24 reports.
The South African government has advised the couple to get legal assistance, the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg says.
There was no immediate comment from the UAE government.
Mr Culverwell and Ms Nohai have reportedly been held since January, but news of their detention has only emerged now.
Mr Culverwell has been working in the UAE for the past five years.
His mother Linda told News24 that the family is "trying to get messages to the two to say we love them and that they shouldn't be worried".
The couple have not yet been charged as the authorities are still carrying out tests, Mrs Culverwell added.
If found guilty, they could face a long jail sentence.
They include "continued participation" in the single market and ensuring EU aid for Wales is fully replaced.
Ms Wood called for further devolution and for the rights of all EU nationals living in Wales to be guaranteed.
But the Conservatives said her Welsh independence campaign would break up the "vital single market" of the UK.
Theresa May launches negotiations on Wednesday under Article 50, by writing to the European Council president.
The letter will begin a two-year process to agree the terms of the UK's departure from the EU, and to outline of the UK's future relationship with the remaining 27 EU members.
Ms Wood said: "Our alternative demands for the Article 50 letter reflect not only what is important to Wales and everyone who lives here, but the promises that were made to voters by the Vote Leave campaign.
"They offer the UK Prime Minister a list of sensible and moderate options that do not go against the mandate to leave the EU but protect our vital economic links with the continent and reflect the interests of Wales and all who live here."
A Welsh Conservative spokesman said: "The British public voted to leave the European Union and that vote was endorsed by the people of Wales, giving the Westminster Government a mandate to negotiate on behalf of the whole of the UK.
"Leanne Wood purports to be acting in the national interest, but there is an inherent irony in her demands to retain access to the single market and for the maintenance of current funding levels - whilst simultaneously campaigning for independence from the UK, which would see the taps turned off for our public services and break up a vital single market."
Welsh Labour MEP Derek Vaughan said the UK government had "backed itself into a corner by setting conditions which indicate we are heading for hard Brexit or no deal".
This, he warned, would be "catastrophic" for Wales.
"It's time for Theresa May to do what's best for Wales and the UK rather than catering to the far right at the expense of our future," he said.
UKIP published "six key tests to prove Brexit means Exit", including a requirement that "Parliament must resume its supremacy of law-making with no impediments, qualifications or restrictions on its future actions".
The party called for the UK to have full control of its immigration, asylum and border control policies and the seas around its coast, insisting there should be no final settlement payment to the EU or any ongoing payments.
The river is powering two turbines at Thrybergh Weir, near Kilnhurst, Rotherham, to generate electricity.
It should work constantly for up to 11 months of the year and last 100 years, said the developers Barn Energy and Yorkshire Hydropower.
The plant also includes a passage to help eel, salmon and trout swim upstream towards Sheffield.
It is hoped that salmon could return to Sheffield to spawn.
They have not been seen for more than 100 years given the past pollution and the weirs on the river.
Stuart Mills, of the Canal & River Trust, said: "The Thrybergh scheme shows how renewable power generation can be harnessed with virtually no environmental impact on rivers."
Alberto Contador won the stage in a time of four hours, 24 minutes and 47 seconds.
Team Sky's Thomas, 29, was 28 seconds behind, while previous leader Tony Martin drifted out of contention.
Ion Izagirre finished second overall, 19 seconds behind Thomas, with Contador third, a further seven seconds back.
1st: Geraint Thomas (GB) Sky, 18:34:15
2nd: Ion Izagirre (Esp) Movistar +19
3rd: Alberto Contador (Esp) Tinkoff +26
4th: Thibaut Pinot (Fra) FDJ +32
5th: Primoz Roglic (Sl) Lotto NL-Jumbo +49
The party used a double-decker at its manifesto launch as a backdrop to speeches and photo opportunities.
Media interviews were conducted on a second bus.
Transport for London (TfL) said had it been asked, it "would not have given permission for the bus to be used given pre-election rules for public bodies".
The DUP staged the event in Antrim, at one of the factories belonging to Wrightbus, the company that builds the buses for TfL.
The design copyright for the Routemaster, sometime dubbed the Boris Bus after the London mayor, is owned by TfL.
Rules ban tax payer funded resources being used for election campaigning purposes.
The TfL statement added: "We are very proud of our association with Wrightbus and the work we do with them in Northern Ireland and look forward to future collaborations with them."
The company is headquartered in Ballymena and its founder William Wright, 87, was one of those who signed the nomination papers of incumbent DUP MP and candidate in North Antrim, Ian Paisley.
Wrightbus has declined to comment on the use of the bus by the DUP.
SDLP MLA John Dallat said the DUP "know full well the rules of the [election campaign] game".
He said: "This latest incident demonstrates an arrogance and complete contempt for the rules on behalf of the DUP.
"They must make explicit whether they paid for the use of Wrightbus premises or if this will be considered a donation to their campaign."
The figures for the first three months of 2015 show BBC Radio Cymru recorded a rise of 20,000 in its weekly audience to a total of 126,000.
It is a year since the station's major schedule changes. In the second half of 2014, Radio Cymru's weekly audience had fallen to its lowest on record.
BBC Radio Wales lost 1,000 listeners compared to the previous three months.
It recorded a weekly audience of 426,000 listeners.
A spokesman for BBC Wales called the figures "encouraging" for Radio Cymru.
"These figures are consistent and we'll be looking at the detail carefully to strengthen our stations further," he added.
In the commercial sector, some of the country's most popular stations saw their weekly audiences increase.
Juice FM, which broadcasts in north east Wales and Liverpool, gained 23,000 weekly listeners to reach an average of 257,000 a week.
But others saw their audiences fall, including Heart South Wales which lost 50,000 listeners during the first three months of the year, averaging a weekly audience of 447,000.
There was also a fall of 22,000 for Capital South Wales every week, with 186,000 listeners tuning in.
Swansea Sound lost 5,000 listeners to an average of 64,000 people a week.
Former nurse Beatrice Morgan, 88, suffered burns to 18% of her body at Greencroft Residential Home at Aston, Deeside, in August 2012.
North Wales East and Central coroner John Gittins recorded the death as accidental.
In September, Greencroft Care Ltd was fined for health and safety breaches.
Mrs Morgan's injuries were a contributing factor in her death, the inquest in Wrexham was told.
Care worker Nicky Heaps, who said she had worked in nursing homes for about 10 years before she went to work at Greencroft, told the hearing she was given no formal training but shadowed other care workers to learn how things were done.
On the day Mrs Morgan was injured, she ran the bath while two other carers prepared Mrs Morgan.
She told the hearing she used a thermometer and recorded a temperature of 38 degrees centigrade on a log sheet in the bathroom.
Questioned by the coroner, Ms Heaps said she had not been told she should leave the thermometer in the water until the measurement stopped rising and had not been told where to take the temperature.
She told the inquest Mrs Morgan screamed in pain as she was lowered into the water by two care assistants via a hoist.
She was immediately removed and checked over by a nurse.
After that, Ms Heaps said she could not remember anything.
"I was in shock...even now. It was the most horrible thing," she said, adding that she was no longer involved in similar types of care.
Tracey Davies, who was the acting manager of Greencroft at the time of the incident, told the hearing she had never seen any specific bathing policies at the home.
She said a builder hired to install a shower highlighted that the baths did not have thermostatic valves on the taps to regulate water temperature.
But she could not authorise him to install them because of costs.
Timothy Ogunleye, the owner of Greencroft Ltd, which is now in liquidation, blamed failings inside the home for the scalding and said he had learned lessons so it would never happen again.
The 29-year-old experienced discomfort during Sri Lanka's second ODI victory against Ireland on Saturday and was placed under observation.
His condition was stable in hospital and he was discharged on Monday.
However he will not play in the ODI series with England after his action was deemed illegal over the weekend.
Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews said: "We are very confident he will come through both - his condition as well as his action."
Eranga has taken 21 wickets in 19 ODI matches since his debut in 2011 and played in all three matches in the Test series with England, which the home side won 2-0.
The ODI series between England and Sri Lanka begins at Trent Bridge on Tuesday.

Mark Hillman, 26, was shot twice in the back and found on a pavement in Lloyd Close, Everton, on 27 April.
Mr Hillman, from Kirkdale, was taken to hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Two 18-year-old men, both from Anfield, have been taken into custody ahead of being questioned by detectives, Merseyside Police said.
Seven people previously arrested over Mr Hillman's death have been released on bail.
Three men, aged 19, 20 and 35 from Anfield, and a woman, 39, from Everton, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
Three women, 24, 21 and 43, were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Chemistry teacher Susan McKay decided to grow the drug to help solve family money problems and her son Michael agreed to help, Mold Crown Court heard.
Three "growing zones" were set up in the seven-bed Tall Trees in Llandyrnog and the yield was worth up to £96,000.
Her husband Owen, 73, pleaded guilty on the basis he turned a blind eye.
Susan McKay, 58, a senior teacher at a Wrexham high school, and Michael McKay, 27, from Huntington, Cheshire, were both given a 20-month jail sentence suspended for 18 months.
Owen McKay was given a five-month term, suspended for 12 months.
Prosecutor Matthew Curtis said Michael McKay had been stopped by police near Ruthin in April last year for driving without lights, and when they detected the smell of cannabis they searched his car and found 162g of cannabis worth about £1,620.
The Olympic boxing hopeful was on his way to his parents' house, which officers then searched.
Inside they found three bedrooms which were devoted to growing cannabis with a black growing tent, silver foil and ventilation tubes.
One bathroom was being used as a drying room and a total of 115 cannabis plants were being grown.
Mrs McKay's defence barrister, Duncan Bould, told the court the guest house owner had a seriously ill son, Christopher, and another son, Daniel, had killed himself last year.
The court was also told she discovered her husband had been having an affair for 10 years and had a child with his business partner.
Because of the family difficulties, and financial struggles, she came up with the idea to grow cannabis.
Mr Bould said: "None of these she uses as excuses for her behaviour but perhaps it provides some explanation why a person like her behaves in this bizarre and frankly ridiculous way.
"We are dealing with an intelligent, dignified and mature woman who has been in responsible employment all her adult life and is still in a job."
The court heard Michael McKay is a personal trainer who hopes to compete in this weekend's GB Elite Three Nations boxing competition, and hopes to represent England at next year's Olympics.
He got involved in growing drugs "in support of his mother", Mr Bould told the court.
Michael Jones, for Owen McKay, said he was working hard six days a week at his Warrington garage and there was no forensic evidence to link him to the cannabis in the house.
Although the crop - grown between December 2013 and April 2014 - was significant, it was never actually sold, the court heard.
There will be no change in Easter pub opening hours during the current Northern Ireland Assembly mandate, which ends on 30 March.
Restrictions on selling alcohol are in place from the Thursday before Easter until Easter Sunday.
Pub owners say rules are "archaic" and are damaging the tourism industry.
Alcohol can only be served between 17:00 and 23:00 GMT on Good Friday.
Bars have to stop serving at midnight on Thursday and Easter Saturday.
The Department for Social Development (DSD) has responsibility for pub opening hours.
In 2012, more than 2,500 people responded to a consultation about extending opening hours in pubs over the Easter holidays and allowing late-night opening at other times of the year.
During the consultation, the former social development minister, Nelson McCausland, proposed extending serving times by one hour to 01:00 on the Thursday before Easter and on Easter Saturday.
There are no plans to extend the laws on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Pub owners had hoped the new rules would be in place by Easter 2014.
But two years later there is still no legislation.
For Easter 2016 pubs will continue to operate within existing licensing restrictions.
Thursday - midnight
Good Friday - 23:00
Easter Saturday - midnight
Easter Sunday - 22:00
Good Friday - 23:00
Easter Sunday - closed
Former ministers Mr McCausland, Mervyn Storey and current minister Lord Morrow, all from the Democratic Unionist Party, have not brought forward the legislation.
John McGrillen, the chief executive of Tourism Northern Ireland, said alcohol licensing was now becoming a "major issue for the tourism industry" and the laws were no longer fit for purpose.
"Easter is a crucial period for the tourism industry," he said.
"However, the restrictive conditions mean that the hospitality sector cannot meet the expectations of many of our visitors who expect to experience a vibrant night-time economy over the bank holiday weekend."
Pedro Donald, who runs the Sunflower Pub in Belfast, said tourists are confused when they visit the city over the Easter weekend.
"They are genuinely surprised," he said.
"If they come into a pub on a Sunday afternoon, they can't get a beer - they are genuinely confused, it doesn't make sense.
"We have to explain the situation."
Hospitality Ulster chief executive Colin Neill said his members had reached "boiling point" over the fact the Assembly has not relaxed the law.
"The industry is respectful of religious belief but the debate has moved on," he said.
"It is a crazy situation when alcohol is available to purchase in supermarkets, but not in a pub."
A spokesperson for the Department for Social Development (DSD) said there had been an intention "to bring forward a Liquor Licensing Amendment Bill during the current assembly mandate".
The bill, DSD said, was to contain a "balanced set of proposals aimed at discouraging abuse of alcohol" while "also assisting the local hospitality industry".
It was to include "modest changes to opening hours on the Thursday and Saturday before Easter".
"Unfortunately, due to competing priorities, such as welfare reform and the housing bills, the current minister no longer has time to progress a bill in the current mandate," the spokesperson said.
It added that any changes to liquor licensing law would fall to the new Department for Communities to consider after May's assembly election.
Anshu Jamsenpa, a 37-year-old mother-of-two, reached the summit on 16 and 21 May, tourism official Gyanendra Shrestha confirmed to BBC Nepali.
The current Guinness record for a woman's double ascent is seven days.
News of Ms Jamsenpa's climbs came as at least three climbers were killed on the mountain over the weekend.
An Australian died on the Tibetan side, while a Slovak and an American died on the Nepalese side. Rescuers have failed to locate a fourth climber, from India, who disappeared shortly after reaching the summit.
Hundreds of mountaineers are hoping to scale the world's highest peak before the monsoon sweeps in next month.
It's the second time Ms Jamsenpa, who is from the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, has notched up an Everest double ascent. Her previous feat was in 2011, but those ascents came 10 days apart.
She will now have to approach Guinness World Records to register her climbs after they have been certified by Nepal's ministry of tourism.
The current woman's record was set by Nepalese climber Chhurim Sherpa in 2012.
Apart from her two double ascents, Ms Jamsenpa also scaled the mountain in 2013.
Her husband, Tsering Wange, told the BBC that her plan was always to do a double ascent twice, but her second attempt did not succeed in 2014 due to an avalanche and in 2015 because of the devastating Nepal earthquake.
The site removed the photo twice before Rupi Kaur, from Toronto, challenged them.
In the end, Instagram agreed that she hadn't broken their guidelines and apologised.
The picture was part of an art project in which she wanted to break what she called "taboos" around menstruation.
Speaking to Newsbeat from her home in Canada, Rupi said: "When I see the picture it looks completely beautiful to my eyes.
"I wasn't being provocative. The point of the photo was to de-mystify all the taboos that are around menstruation.
"When I initially put it up I knew there would be some controversy and some hate comments and then it would go away. Never in a million years did I expect it to be on every major headline everywhere."
The story of the photo was subsequently picked up by the global media.
Instagram sent Rupi a message saying the content breached their community guidelines but she challenged that decision.
They eventually sent her another message, which she shared on her Tumblr page, where the firm said someone had "accidentally removed" the post and apologised.
Whilst Instagram received criticism for the initial decision, Rupi also received a barrage of negative comments over the photo.
"There's hate from strangers. I understand that and I've developed a thick skin. But when it comes from your friends, people who stood by you... that shocks, especially from women.
"It was interesting the way people were belittling the experience and the struggle of the period.
"You won't go on vacation because of your period, you change your wedding date, it goes everywhere with you and you are in so much pain. Women are hospitalised."

Police have said they are following up a number of calls to identify the two men who tried to bundle the serviceman into a car near RAF Marham on 20 July.
Roadblocks set up by the police have also identified some drivers with dash board cameras.
Police said it would be a lengthy investigation.
The serviceman had been out running when he was threatened by two men.
Six road blocks were put in place at the scene and drivers have been handed leaflets featuring e-fit images of the two men involved in the attack.
Det Supt Paul Durham, from Norfolk Constabulary, said the investigation required painstaking detailed enquiries.
He said the footage from the dash board cameras had been retrieved and was set to be reviewed.
He urged drivers who use the area to look at the e-fit images and to make contact with the police should they recognise either of the men.
The first suspect is described as of "Middle Eastern appearance", between 20 and 30 years old, approximately 6ft (1.8m) tall, with a well-groomed beard.
The second man, who is of similar appearance, is slightly younger, about 5ft 10in (1.78m) tall and was clean-shaven with short, dark hair. | A fatal accident inquiry into the death of an Edinburgh schoolgirl who was crushed by a falling wall has finished hearing evidence.

Ofcom is proposing to cut the price that BT's infrastructure arm, Openreach, can charge operators for its popular superfast broadband service.
The regulator said it would expect these savings to be passed on to consumers through cheaper bills.
It is also planning new rules for Openreach to fix and install lines more quickly.
Openreach operates the wires and cables that power the UK's broadband network, leasing out the lines to BT's rivals such as Sky and Talk Talk.
Under the regulator's plans, Openreach's price for 40 Mbit/second broadband would fall from £88.80 a year to £66.28 next year and £52.77 by 2020.
"We would expect much of this reduction to be passed through by retail providers to their customers, resulting in lower bills," Ofcom said.
But it will not cap prices for even faster broadband, hoping that this will spur operators to install their own lines in competition with Openreach.
Jonathan Oxley, Ofcom's competition group director, said: "Our plans are designed to encourage long-term investment in future ultrafast, full-fibre networks, while promoting competition and protecting consumers from high prices."
Other rules would force Openreach to complete 93% of fault repairs within two working days, compared with 80% currently.
Openreach would also need to install 95% of connections on the date agreed with the telecoms operator, up from 90% today.
BT was issued with a record fine of £42m by Ofcom on Monday because of delays by Openreach in installing high-speed lines.
Ofcom has forced BT to legally separate Openreach into a distinct business, in another move aimed at boosting competition. | Households could see the price of superfast broadband fall under plans by the UK telecoms regulator. | 39,452,242 | 368 | 22 | false |
The literary prize started accepting novels by US authors in 2014, having previously been restricted to the UK, the Commonwealth, Ireland and Zimbabwe.
Barnes won in 2011 with The Sense of an Ending. "I don't agree with opening up the Booker for the Americans," he said.
"I think that's straightforwardly daft. The Americans have got enough prizes of their own."
Last month, Paul Beatty became the first American author to win the Booker, triumphing with his racial satire The Sellout.
But Barnes told the Radio Times: "The idea of [the Booker] being Britain, Ireland, the old Commonwealth countries and new voices in English from around the world gave it a particular character and meant it could bring on writers.
"If you also include Americans - and get a couple of heavy hitters - then the unknown Canadian novelist hasn't got a chance.
"Which American prizes are open to Brits? In theory I think only the National Book Award is. I don't think any Brit has won a major American award for years."
The £50,000 Booker Prize is now open to writers of any nationality writing in English and published in the UK.
Every shortlist for the past three years has included two US authors.
Fellow Australian Peter Carey, who has won the Booker twice, has previously criticised the decision to open up the award.
"I find it unimaginable that the Pulitzer or the National Book award people in the United States would ever open their prizes to Brits and Australians," he has said. "They wouldn't.
"There was, and there is, a real Commonwealth culture. It's different. America doesn't really feel to be a part of that... I suppose I'm not generally in love with the notion of global marketing."

Under the title "we are with you," it issued a list of 11 immediate steps, including a hotline, and warns citizens "to avoid any conflict situation".
The move comes a week after Donald Trump won the US presidential election.
Mr Trump's plan to deport millions of undocumented migrants is a cause of concern to many Mexicans in the US.
While the Mexican foreign ministry's statement (in Spanish) does not mention Mr Trump or his election win directly, it comes just days after he said he would deport or jail up to three million undocumented migrants soon after taking office.
Mexican citizens account for a large percentage of the estimated eleven million total undocumented migrants in the US.
The foreign ministry said it would increase the number of appointments at its consulates to ensure that its citizens could get their documents, such as passports or birth certificates, in order.
The ministry also said it would introduce an app which contains information on migration issues and contact details for Mexican consulates in the US.
The consulates will make a greater effort to reach out to citizens and will "strengthen the dialogue with state and local authorities", the statement says.
The new 24-hour hotline will be accessible to Mexicans in the US to answer questions about immigration measures or report "any incidents".
Many Mexicans in the US fear that Mr Trump's pledge to deport or jail undocumented migrants soon after he takes office will result in a rise in discrimination against them.
They are also concerned that even those who have their documents in order could get caught up in police raids or checks.
Mr Trump has said that on his first day in office he will sign orders to speed up the removal of "criminal illegal immigrants", such as gang members and drug dealers.
Overall, there are about 11 million illegal immigrants in the US, and Mr Trump has published a 10-point plan on immigration which includes overturning amnesties introduced by President Barack Obama, strictly enforcing immigration laws and deporting those who do not have correct documents.
In the US, though, illegal immigrants do have a right to due process, so many more judges and prosecution lawyers will need to be appointed to make this happen in practice and it could clog up the court system for years to come.
Congress would need to approve funding for this process.
Mr Trump is expected to revoke President Obama's executive orders of 2014, which gave hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants temporary legal status and an indefinite reprieve from deportation. Executive orders allow presidents to introduce their own legally binding policies without Congressional approval.

The reading of a couple's names takes place over three Sunday services within three months of their marriage.
But Reverend Stephen Trott has asked the General Synod to consider replacing the banns with the same process as for a civil ceremony.
The BBC's Caroline Wyatt says some believe it is an outdated tradition.
But supporters of keeping the custom argue that it can draw lapsed Christians back to the church, as friends and relatives of the couple attend church to hear the banns read, our correspondent adds.
The reading of the marriage banns was designed to allow worshippers to object if they believed the marriage was illegal.
Canon David Houlding, a senior member of the clergy at St Paul's Cathedral, told the Mail on Sunday: "Banns of marriage are so antiquated and a complete nuisance.
"They should be scrapped. It is all a money-making exercise."
Publication of banns of marriage is listed as £28 and the certificate of banns is £13, on the Church of England website.
Mr Trott will table his motion at a meeting of the General Synod on Monday.
He has asked them to note "the growing burden and complexity of the legal requirements imposed on members of the clergy who conduct weddings".
His motion urges the Synod to "invite the Archbishops' Council to bring forward draft legislation to replace ecclesiastical preliminaries to marriage by universal civil preliminaries, such as those which have been in operation in Scotland since 1997, when banns were replaced by a Marriage Schedule issued by the civil registrar."
It is a warm September day in Swords, not far from Dublin Airport.
People are sitting in deck chairs queuing to buy houses and apartments in a new development, a sight not seen since the end of the Celtic Tiger economy and the 2008 crash.
Some have already spent several nights there and they do not want to talk to the media.
But for one woman, Derry-Anne Morgan, it is a scene that fills her with dread.
"I just don't like seeing this portrayed as though they're all coming out again as happened before," she says.
"It smacks of the old bidding and gazumping. And it seems as if we haven't learnt any lessons from before."
Perhaps, though, people have learned as the development did not sell out.
It was over-priced property, by about 50%, and the collapsing banks that brought the Republic of Ireland to its economic knees.
In a small, busy office in the centre of Dublin, near the iconic Ha'penny Bridge over the River Liffey, Gavan Russell is trying to sell and rent property.
He believes that with house prices up by a quarter in a year in the city, a corner has been turned.
"I do see a recovery, rents have appreciated over the last 12 months, up by 15%," he said.
"Capital sales are up by 25% in Dublin. It's spreading to other cities. It's starting to slow down a little bit now, which is probably a good thing."
It is lunchtime near the River Liffey and almost 20 people have come over staggered times to look at a one-bedroom apartment on the market at 950 euros (£755) a month.
Nearly all are young and from abroad and many are in the city to work in the hi-tech industries.
Among them, Frenchman Jeremie Pierret, who has also lived in Germany.
He said: "Prices are high compared to what I know from the south of France and Berlin."
Andrea Filipo from Florence said prices are in line with those in Italy.
Joel Buckle from York in England said: "Once you view an apartment it seems to go straight away because everyone wants it."
But Tia Kalinic from Croatia describes the situation in Dublin as crazy.
"If there is a viewing, you are there with 20 or so people fighting for the apartment," she said.
"The problem is if you want to try to rent it, you have to decide within a few hours."
The many people from outside Ireland who work in Dublin is evidence that the Irish economy is also recovering.
There are some predictions that it could grow by almost 8% over the next 12 months.
But while the multi-national sector is thriving, it is a slightly different story for small and medium-sized enterprises.
That caution is shared by Dan O'Brien of the Irish Independent newspaper.
"The Irish Republic's economy has the capacity to grow a little bit more strongly than the UK or continental countries," he said.
"So, there is the possibility, and only the possibility, that the economy can grow at a decent clip over the next few years. But economies are really unpredictable."
So, the consensus seems to be the Republic of Ireland's economy is set to grow.
But with high debt levels, both personal and public, and banks still not lending as much as many would like, it is far too soon to talk of a Celtic phoenix rising from the ashes of the Tiger's bubble years.
The Ohio governor has been on the crowded debate stage with Republicans since the beginning of the campaign, but he has struggled to win national recognition.
He was elected to the governor's office in 2011, after a lengthy congressional career and a stint in the private sector.
Kasich has touted his experience in executive office and tried to distinguish himself as a relative moderate, calling his opponent's policies "irresponsible" and trying to distinguish himself as an alternative to Jeb Bush.
The second-term governor launched campaign with a speech in front of 2,000 people at Ohio State University in July 2015.
The 63-year-old told the rally in Columbus his work at state and national level was his main qualification.
"I have the experience and the testing, the testing which shapes you and prepares you for the most important job in the world," he said.
Analysis by Anthony Zurcher, North America reporter
Kasich entered the Republican race because he perceived the nominal front-runner, Jeb Bush, to be weaker than at first thought. The Ohio governor has turned out to be only a slightly less flawed version of the man he sought to supplant for the mainstream Republican vote, however.
Like Bush, he isn't trusted by grassroots Republican voters who dislike his perceived heresy on healthcare reform in his state. His sometimes-dour demeanour has hurt him during the high-profile debates, where he's struggled to get attention.
He has touted his Christian faith's influence on his policy making, and has pointed to balanced budgets during his time as governor and in Congress.
In one debate, Kasich justified his decision to expand Medicaid coverage under Obamacare by quoting the Bible, a move criticised by the conservative wing of his party.
Kasich also attacked Trump on several occasions, including his calls for mass deportation of undocumented immigrants and ban on Muslims entering the US.
He was also endorsed for the Republican candidacy by the New York Times.
But the attacks and the endorsement have not make a significant difference in Trump's national polls.
Now with an apparent second place finish in a state he bet his campaign on, Kasich will look to build upon the result.
The three-part drama tells the story of young architect Ellen, who feels increasingly undermined by the woman who is to cover her maternity leave.
The programme is set in Glasgow and uses the city's most stylish buildings as locations.
The fictional firm at the heart of the drama, Gillies Warnock Architects, operates from a glass-fronted studio in the Merchant City.
And the home of the firm's bosses is a spectacular wood and glass-fronted house which features in several scenes.
It is an ex-furniture restorers' workshop in Glasgow city centre that was converted into a spacious, light-filled home.
Prof Dunlop, whose practice was responsible for a number of buildings in Edinburgh, and Glasgow including the Radisson Hotel on Argyle Street, told BBC Scotland that writer and director Joe Ahearne had put his finger on many of the real issues facing architects in practice such as staff relationships, egos, authorship, credit and accountability.
He thinks the main character, Ellen, is a believable young architect but has some reservations about the studio set-up and its relationship with its client.
However, Prof Dunlop said: "Without doubt the real star of The Replacement is Glasgow, the city looks splendid, with action in many of its Georgian and Victorian masterpieces, including the Hutcheson's Hall by Scottish architect David Hamilton and the City Chambers.
"The Merchant City, West End tenements and residences feature prominently. I'm looking forward to seeing more."
Bu'n rhaid i'r Crysau Duon chwarae rhan helaeth o'r gêm gydag 14 dyn, wedi i Sonny Bill Williams weld cerdyn coch am dacl fudr ar Maro Itoje yn gynnar yn yr hanner cyntaf.
Roedd y 40 munud cynta'n hesb o geisiau, ac er gwaetha'r fantais i'r Llewod, cyfartal oedd hi ar yr hanner - 9-9.
Roedd hi'n ymddangos fod y gêm yn llithro o afael y Llewod yn yr ail hanner wrth i'r Crysau Duon lwyddo â thair cic gosb drwy droed Beauden Barrett, ac fe ddaeth ergyd arall wrth i Mako Vunipola gael ei anfon i'r gell gosb am dacl hwyr.
Ond yna daeth clamp o gais i'r Llewod wrth i Taulupe Faletau dirio'r bêl, gan ddod â'r tîm yn ôl o fewn pum pwynt i fuddugoliaeth.
Wedi i seithfed cic cosb Barrett roi'r tîm cartref ymhellach ar y blaen, llwyddodd Connor Murray i groesi'r llinell am yr eilwaith, a throsiad Farrell yn dod â'r ddau dîm yn gyfartal unwaith eto - 21-21.
Bedair munud o'r diwedd, llwyddodd Farrell â chic cosb arall gan sicrhau buddugoliaeth dyngedfennol a chadw gobeithion y Llewod o ennill y gyfres yn fyw.
Wedi i Seland Newydd ennill y prawf cyntaf o 30-15, mae hi felly'n gyfartal rhwng y ddau dîm 1-1.
Mewn cyfweliad ar Sky Sports, dywedodd prif hyfforddwr Seland Newydd, Steve Hansen fod y Llewod yn haeddu ennill: "Wnaethon ni ddim helpu'n hunain drwy golli chwaraewr.
"Tra fy mod i'n falch o'n chwaraewyr am chwarae fel yna gydag 14 dyn, roedd y Llewod yn haeddu ennill."
Ac er gwaetha'r dathlu, mae 'na her fawr yn parhau i wynebu'r Llewod.
Bydd y trydydd prawf yn ôl yn Eden Park, Auckland, ddydd Sadwrn nesaf - lle nad yw'r Crysau Duon wedi colli ers 1994.
The 21-year-old, who was on loan earlier this season at Luton, where he played 33 games, will fill in for Ted Smith who has a wrist problem.
He made his debut for his parent club in a League Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur in October.
Walton, who joined the Seagulls from Plymouth in February 2014, is available for Saturday's game against Oldham.
"We expect Ted to be out for around seven-to-10 days," said Southend manager Phil Brown.
Robert Boon, 50, was involved in the 10-hour event to raise money to train guide dog puppies.
Mr Boon, from Paignton, Devon, said he received a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) questioning his eligibility to claim benefits.
He said a "malicious" person made the complaint.
Mr Boon said he had hit a maximum 180 with three darts, but the probability of doing so was "very high" during a 10-hour event.
He said the repetitive action of dart throwing enabled him to maintain some degree of accuracy.
"I played darts when I was younger and even if I was blindfolded I could still hit the board," he said.
"I've been victimised. I'm absolutely fuming."
Mr Boon was born with defective eyesight and in recent years his ability to see has rapidly declined and he is now registered as blind.
He said anyone could see his medical records if they doubted he was visually-impaired.
The fundraiser, at a coffee shop in the town, had been staged to collect donations towards training two guide dog puppies.
"I know what it's like to have a guide dog, it's incredibly important," he said.
Mr Boon said the DWP had since told him it does not intend to cut his benefits.
A department spokesman said: "It's only right that we investigate a person's benefit claim when we receive information that suggests they may not be entitled."
Mr Boon, who notched up about 61,000 points, held the charity event after being inspired by a group of blind darts players in Cornwall.
The fundraising project was part of a wider scheme to raise £10,000 to pay for the guide dogs.
Stokes bowled the last over with the Windies needing 19 to win, only for Carlos Brathwaite to smash four sixes off the first four balls.
"It's not his fault," Morgan said of all-rounder Stokes.
"We're all in this together, we enjoy our wins and we suffer with our losses so the pain will be shared tonight."
Stokes looked forlorn after Brathwaite's heroics, the England all-rounder crouching on the ground with his head in his hands as the rest of the West Indies team stormed onto the pitch to celebrate an unlikely victory.
"Cricket can be a cruel game," added Morgan. "He is going to be devastated. It'll take its toll in the next couple of days, but we share everything we do, we stick together as a side. We share pain, we share the success. I hope in the future we have a lot more success."
Stokes later tweeted: "Overwhelmed by all the support of everyone after a disappointing last over.
"So proud to have represented my country in a World Cup final. To everyone who has supported us, thank you very much you've been awesome. Congrats to the West Indies on winning a great final."
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, former England captain Michael Vaughan said Stokes will be "hurting for a long time".
He added: "As a captain you try to talk from the heart to someone in Stokes's position and put an arm around the shoulder. You tell them they will be back stronger for the experience. But Stokes is not the sort of lad to take that kind of stuff.
"He will be spewing for a long while so you have to allow him time to hurt. He will lose sleep for days going over it in his mind, asking: 'Why didn't I do something different?' The good thing is that Stokes is young and has experienced highs and lows in his career already so he will be able to handle this in time."
Marlon Samuels, whose 85 not out from 66 balls laid the foundation for Brathwaite's winning runs, made a few digs at Stokes in a post-match news conference that saw the man of the match sit with his feet up on the table the entire time.
Samuels was fined 30% of his match fee by the International Cricket Council for "using abusive and offensive language" towards the England man, with whom he had already clashed during England's Test series against West Indies last year.
"Well, he does not learn. I keep telling him whenever we play against each other: 'Do not speak to me because I'm going to perform'. I didn't even face a ball and he had so much to say today," Samuels said.
"Stokes is a nervous lad you know. What I told Brathwaite was: 'He's going to bowl a couple of full tosses as always.' It worked in our favour and Brathwaite played a brilliant knock there."
England had given themselves a great chance of victory after slipping to 23-3 in the fifth over after being put in to bat. Joe Root scored 54 and Jos Buttler added 36 as they made 155-9 off their 20 overs.
They then had the West Indies in trouble, reducing them to 11-3 before Samuels hit form, finishing unbeaten on 85, while Brathwaite, who took 3-23 when England batted, ended 34 not out.
"We controlled the game right up to the 16th or 17th over," said Morgan. "We were in a commanding position. It's just unfortunate the way it finished."
He insisted England never became complacent, adding: "We put ourselves in a position to win, but it wasn't our day.
"I'm so proud of everybody in the squad. They have shown immense character throughout the tournament."
Asked about the resurgence of the limited-overs side, only a year after losing to Bangladesh and failing to progress beyond the group stages of the 50-over World Cup, Morgan said: "I truly believe this is only the start of something special and we have a huge amount of talent to work with.

Stephen Powell, 48, took evasive action while watching Ashes highlights as a Volvo ploughed through the bay window of his Porthmawr Road home in Cwmbran.
The driver, Paul Binks, 29, of Newcastle, is not believed to have been injured in the crash on Friday.
On Saturday, he admitted drink-driving at Newport Magistrates' Court and was banned from the road for 18 months.
Mr Powell's wife, Sarah Roberts, 42, said: "If he hadn't thrown himself out of the way he would have been killed."
The father-of-one was taken to hospital with back pains and is believed to have suffered torn muscles.
Binks had 65 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of his breath - the legal limit is 35 micrograms.
Alongside his disqualification from driving, Binks was also ordered by magistrates to pay £355 in fines and court costs.
The 18th Century road bridge over the River Wharfe in Tadcaster is expected to take up to 12-months to repair at a cost of £3m.
It collapsed on 29 December last year, splitting the town in two.
The government provided £300,000 towards the costs of the footbridge, which has been built in sections over the river.
The bridge was formally opened by the chair of North Yorkshire County Council, David Jeffels, and the town's Conservative MP, Nigel Adams.
The men crossed the bridge accompanied by a mother and daughter who live on opposite sides of the river.
Chrissie Wilson, whose home was flooded over Christmas, was crossing the bridge to stay with her mother Babs when it began to collapse.
Miss Wilson said: "We're so proud to be doing this. Mum was born and grew up in Tadcaster and her family goes back 300 years in the town.
"We're just so impressed with the way the town has pulled together through all this and delighted to have a bridge that connects the centre of the town again."
The town's county councillor, Chris Metcalfe, said the opening of the temporary bridge was a chance for the whole town to celebrate.
"Everybody has shown incredible community spirit through these past challenging weeks.
"The county council and its contractors are proud to have met the challenges and completed the footbridge as swiftly as possible so that people and business can get back to some normality," he said.
Russian defence officials say their aircraft carried out about 20 missions against the so-called Islamic State group (IS) on Wednesday.
But the US expressed fears the targets were non-IS opponents of Russia's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The US is targeting IS with air strikes in both Syria and Iraq.
Nato said there had been little co-ordination by Russia with US-led forces against IS, also known as Isil. The US says it was informed of Wednesday's air strikes only an hour before they took place.
The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal report that US-backed rebels were targeted by Russia.
Are the Russians trying to destroy IS/Isis/Isil/Daesh or are they trying to prop up President Assad? The Americans see the two as very different, the Russians less so.
On the evidence of one day's bombing it looks to be very much the latter. The target of Russian ordnance has been in places where IS has no presence.
In other words, other rebel groups - any rebel groups - opposed to President Assad are being targeted. And that raises another huge question. What if the Russians start hitting US backed and armed rebel groups? That is not going to end well.
How Putin blindsided the US
Diplomatic goals behind Putin's Syria build-up
Russia's Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, said there was a need to "establish channels of communication to avoid any unintended incidents". His US counterpart, John Kerry, said talks will be held "as soon as possible," maybe as early as Thursday.
Mr Kerry added: "It's one thing to be targeting Isil, but the concern, obviously, is that this is not what was happening."
France's Defence Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, told French MPs: "Curiously, they didn't hit Islamic State. I will let you draw a certain number of conclusions yourselves."
Syria's civil war has raged for four years, with an array of armed groups fighting to overthrow the government.
The US and its allies have insisted that President Assad should leave office, while Russia has backed him remaining in power.
The Russian defence ministry said the country's air force had targeted IS military equipment, communication facilities, arms depots, ammunition and fuel supplies - and did not hit civilian infrastructure or areas nearby.
Syrian opposition activists said Russian warplanes hit towns including Zafaraneh, Rastan and Talbiseh, resulting in the deaths of at least 36 civilians, a number of them children.
None of the areas targeted was controlled by IS, activists said.
A resident of Talbiseh told the BBC that the Russians were striking the only area in that part of Syria that was still under rebel control. "In my opinion they are helping Assad to get rid of the rebels in general," he said.
One doctor in Rastan told Reuters: "We have been exposed to a wide range of weapons over the last five years. But what happened today was absolutely the most violent and ferocious, and the most comprehensive."
Mr Kerry said the United States would not object to Russian military action in Syria - as long as it was directed against IS and groups linked to al-Qaeda.
US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter went further, saying: "By supporting Assad and seemingly taking on everyone who is fighting Assad, you're taking on the whole rest of the country of Syria.
"At least some parts of the anti-Assad opposition belong in the political transition going forward. That's why the Russian approach is doomed to fail."
In a televised address, Mr Putin said the air strikes were targeting Islamist militants - including Russian citizens - who have taken over large parts of Syria and Iraq.
"If they [militants] succeed in Syria, they will return to their home country, and they will come to Russia, too," he said.
He added that Russia would be "supporting the Syrian army purely in its legitimate fight with terrorist groups".
Mr Putin also said he expected President Assad to talk with the Syrian opposition about a political settlement, but clarified that he was referring to what he described as "healthy'' opposition groups.
What's the human cost?
More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured in four-and-a-half years of armed conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a full-scale civil war.
And the survivors?
More than 11 million others have been forced from their homes, four million of them abroad, as forces loyal to President Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other - as well as jihadist militants from IS and other groups. Growing numbers of refugees are going to Europe.
How has the world reacted?
Regional and world powers have also been drawn into the conflict. Iran and Russia, along with Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, are propping up the Alawite-led government. Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are backing the Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France.
The battle for Syria and Iraq in maps
Syria's civil war explained
It fell onto the Bregagh Road on Tuesday night.
The tunnel of trees, known as the Dark Hedges, became famous throughout the world after it featured as the Kingsroad in the HBO series.
In January, a number of the 200-year-old beeches fell victim to Storm Gertrude.
The trees were planted by the Stuart family along the entrance to their Gracehill House mansion.
Over the decades, the branches grew over the road and became entangled and intertwined, creating a covered passageway with something of an ethereal feel.
Originally, there were about 150 trees, but time has taken its toll and now only about 90 remain.
Steve McCartney, from Causeway Coast and Glens Council, said that weather conditions and the age of the tree had caused it to fall.
"What's happened here has been very simple, there's been a bit of wind overnight and this tree has had a fork and inside that fork a bit of water has gathered - something we couldn't have seen was that that gave rot inside the tree," he said.
"A point of weakness and unfortunately that big branch came down."
He said the volume of tourism at the site was unlikely to have contributed to it.
"Most of the nutrients that this tree and the other trees will get are from the trees on either side of the road, so the traffic on the road probably isn't as major a factor as we might expect," he said.
"Really when they get to this age, they are starting to wind down."
North Antrim assembly member Mervyn Storey, who is chairman of the Dark Hedges Preservation Trust, said a number of trees had been lost in recent years due to their age and weather conditions.
"There's been ongoing discussions between the Causeway Coast and Glens Council, Transport NI, the Tourist Board, the [National] Trust and other interested parties to ensure that we have a comprehensive plan for this area," he said.
Chancellor George Osborne used the Budget to announce further devolution of powers to the area.
The change means decisions on offender management, education in prisons and work with youth offenders will be made locally.
The region's Labour mayor, Tony Lloyd, said "we will have to read the fine print" to make sure there is "no loss".
The Chancellor also announced the region will get a new prison and will keep 100% of business rates, beginning next year.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority, which comprises the region's 10 councils, said it will have more control of funding to support both offenders and victims of crime.
It is proposing devolving other budgets, including for female offenders, young offenders and those sentenced to fewer than two years in prison, which would mark a major change to the current system.
Announcing the change, Mr Osborne said: "This is the kind of progressive social policy that this government is proud to pioneer."
Greater Manchester will also pilot the approach of retaining 100% business rates - a move that comes three years earlier than expected.
Mr Lloyd, interim mayor and police and crime commissioner for Greater Manchester, called it a "significant step" towards putting power "in the hands of local people" but said he would need to look into the details.
"In particular, I am pleased that Greater Manchester will take on a greater role in shaping and delivering criminal justice services and have greater influence over funding to support victims of crime."
"What we want to know is that there's no loss as we move through into the long-term future... what we can't have is the government taking away the money that keeps our public services going," he said.
Greater Manchester and Liverpool city region will pilot a key government policy - the retention of business rates.
This does not mean the two areas will simply keep what they collect. If it did, they would lose a lot of money because they are reliant on redistribution from richer councils.
But it does mean they will be allowed to keep any extra taxation they manage to raise.
The devolution of justice powers to Greater Manchester should give the police commissioner greater say over areas such as rehabilitation.
But it sounds vague; Whitehall tends not to willingly give away powers.
And while the city region continues to spearhead devolution across England, it is not clear how much further or how quickly that agenda continues.
Councillor Kieran Quinn said the "challenge is to show how this can help us create sustainable long-term growth locally", adding: "I'm confident we will."
The Chancellor also confirmed money is being pledged to improve transport links between Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield.
More than £230m has been earmarked for road improvements in the north of England, including upgrading the M62 into a smart motorway.
He said plans will be developed for a new HS3 rail line and a road tunnel under the Peak District.
Discussing these proposals, mayor Lloyd said "each one is welcome but it's not enough".
Greater Manchester has already begun taking control of its health budget after a devolution agreement was signed by the Chancellor in February and has agreed to take control of fire services, land commission and children's services.
Jennifer Lampe was found by police with a still-moving headless boa constrictor around her neck, and reptile heads in her pockets in April.
Telford Magistrates' Court heard she "vomited up" the heads after swallowing them as she "wanted to keep them".
The 28-year-old was also handed a four-month suspended prison sentence.
Magistrates described it as an "unpleasant" and "bizarre" case of animal cruelty.
More on this and other stories from Shropshire
The court heard Lampe, of Market Drayton, had thrown her pet hamster in a fish tank and watched it drown weeks before the decapitations because it was making too much noise in the night.
She also had dumped one unwanted cat behind a fence and twice tried to dispose of another.
RSPCA prosecutor Roger Price said she killed the animals because she feared she would be made homeless after falling out with her sister, whom she lived with, and would be unable to look after them.
Lampe told the court she had drunk seven cans of lager and shots of amaretto and whisky before killing the snakes.
Mr Price said an argument between Lampe and her sister's boyfriend led to the incident boiling over, with the defendant reportedly "yelling and swearing" before taking scissors and a knife to her bedroom, which also housed the snakes.
He said: "When her sister saw the defendant in her bedroom she had a boa constrictor under her top and was covered in blood.
"About three-quarters of the snake could be seen. The defendant was hysterical."
A vet confirmed the snakes had probably been decapitated with the scissors, adding the deaths were "not swift" and their suffering would have been "prolonged and painful".
Mr Price told the court reptiles' heads "can remain operable up to an hour after decapitation", which means they could have been still alive as Lampe swallowed them.
Defending, Sarah Cooper said her client was a vulnerable "loner" with "some mental health problems".
The biennial women's match-play event between Europe and United States was last held in Scotland in 2000.
This year's tournament, held in Germany last month, was won 14½-13½ by the American team.
Gleneagles hosted Europe's successful defence of the Ryder Cup last year and the course was chosen ahead of Bro Hof Slott in Sweden for the Solheim Cup.
Ladies European Tour chief executive Ivan Khodabakhsh said: "I want to congratulate the Scotland bid team for their work.
"It was an extremely close decision and our heartfelt thanks go to our friends from Sweden for their hugely impressive bid.
"The Bro Hof Slott Golf Club is one of Europe's very finest courses and we look forward to working with them in the future.
"The competitive nature of the bidding process for the 2019 event is testimony to the growth in interest in women's professional golf and women's sport in general.
"The Solheim Cup has grown to be the biggest event in the women's game, delivering outstanding value to its partners at a local, national and international level."
The Gleneagles bid was led by VisitScotland in conjunction with the Scottish government.
And Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon described the announcement of Gleneagles' staging of the event as "tremendous news, not only for golf tourism and events in Scotland but for Scotland as a whole".
"It will help cement Scotland's reputation as the home of golf and the perfect stage for major golf events and help inspire a new generation of children to take up the game invented in their home country," she added.
The 2017 event will take place at Des Moines in Iowa.
Richard Carey announced in October he was standing down from the health authority, which has been embroiled in a recent staffing controversy.
The post has a salary between £111,000 and £151,000.
NHS Grampian said none of the shortlisted candidates had been appointed.
This followed an "open competition involving a robust selection and interview process".
The post is currently filled by interim chief executive Malcolm Wright.
A spokesperson said: "Following an open competition involving a robust selection and interview process a decision has been taken not to appoint any of the shortlisted candidates.
"We have discussed options with the Scottish Government, and further expressions of interest in the post are now being sought. As this is an ongoing recruitment process, no further comments will be made until it is complete."
Recommendations were made in reviews last year looking at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, the care of older people and concerns over general surgery.
Officers said the 63-year-old man from Skelmersdale suffered bruising and sore ribs after a "man collided with him" on Ormskirk Road on Thursday evening.
A 34-year-old man from Formby voluntarily attended a police station and was interviewed under caution.
Police inquiries into the incident remain ongoing.
In the mobile phone footage, which was posted on YouTube but has since been removed, a man is heard sniggering from behind the camera before the man falls to the ground.
Onlookers are then seen rushing to help the victim before calling for an ambulance.
Merseyside Police said: "The 63-year-old has declined to make any allegation or report of assault in relation to this incident."
The actress is currently starring as Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls in London's West End.
"Movies can be tiring because we work 16 hours a day - this is different because it's fewer hours, but it's every single day," she said.
But, the Pitch Perfect star added she and the cast "have been having such a good time".
"It has been so good to perform for full houses every night and get standing ovations," she told the BBC.
"At first I was like, 'Are they standing because they want to leave? Or did they actually enjoy it?'" she added jokingly.
Wilson's character, Miss Adelaide, works as a showgirl for the Hot Box nightclub.
"This is a character that is quite different to some of my other characters - I'm a woman in 1950s New York, I'm not Fat Amy in this production," Wilson says, comparing the role with her Pitch Perfect role.
"I do try to bring a bit of my own personal style to the part, but it is a very different role and so I think it can take people a little while to adjust to it, and the way I talk in the show with the New York accent."
Some critics have noted that Wilson has occasionally been ad-libbing in the production, which is at the Phoenix Theatre.
"You can't change it too much of course, because it's owned by an estate and you've got to stay true to the text and be a professional actress about it, but I do embellish to keep people on their toes," Wilson said.
"Every single show is a little bit different which I think is really cool, a thousand people got to see this particular show tonight but tomorrow it will be slightly different."
"The other cast members are wary of it, so they're ready if something happens."
Wilson received broadly positive reviews after her performance at the show's official opening night on Thursday.
Dominic Cavendish of the Daily Telegraph said: "The Sydney-born sensation doesn't do things by halves.
"At a stroke she purges any semblance of the wilting wallflower from the super-sensitive comic heroine of the piece."
Cavendish added: "This is the butchest reading of the part I've ever seen, with the gruffness and heft of a prop forward. But Wilson can belt out a tune as required."
Writing in The Stage, Mark Shenton described Wilson as "big, bold and brassy - in every sense," but added her singing has room for improvement.
"[Wilson] does not, to be frank, have a pitch-perfect singing voice - it's a loud instrument rather than a subtle one. But she's refreshingly vanity-free and celebrates her body," he wrote.
The Times awarded the show four stars, adding: "The purists won't like it but [Wilson] does add something special here.
"As she gurned and twirled and patted her breasts, a cross between Betty Boop and Matt Lucas in Little Britain, I wondered if she might be in a different show all together," Ann Treneman wrote.
"But then it all started to smooth over. I'm not sure if we got used to her, or she got used to us, but by the second half it all blended together and was a joy to watch."
WhatsOnStage also gave the production four stars, and described Wilson as "unstoppable".
"Her entrance has undeniably shifted the dynamics of the show. As well as that hard-to-define aura of star power, her presence gives the performance an extra jolt of comedy and bombast, all the while keeping true to its strong emotional core."
The Evening Standard's Henry Hitchens added: "Wilson may not have a glorious singing voice, but here in her West End debut she demonstrates her talent for grabbing attention and holding on to it relentlessly."

Northampton's Royal and Derngate theatre announced its plans at an event celebrating a decade since its re-opening.
It will respond to concerns in creative industries over the "marginalisation" of the arts in schools.
Chief executive Martin Sutherland said the proposed free school would help young people to find jobs.
Free schools are state-funded schools set up by community groups, universities, academy trusts or business organisations.
"The creative industries are growing in this country at a huge rate but we are not placing as much importance on the art subjects that help people gain employment in these areas," said Mr Sutherland.
But Mr Sutherland said the school will be open to all, and not just to aspiring performers.
"Of course there will be strong emphasis on the performing and other creative arts, but let's just say you're not going to see people dancing on big yellow taxis [reminiscent of a scene from the 1980s TV series Fame] around Northampton any time soon," he said.
"The school is going to be a non-selective secondary comprehensive and students will follow all core subjects but we will also help young people develop skills for the emerging digital economy."
The future Royal and Derngate School will be set up as a free school, a route that has proved controversial in the past, but Mr Sutherland is confident that they can bring something different to the table.
"We understand what good quality arts education looks like.
"Our role is to make sure our values of encouraging creative, ambition, collaboration and inclusion are shared throughout the school and the curriculum."
"Of course we have access to professionals within the industry, but they will enhance the teaching rather than leading it and we will be recruiting a professional team of teachers to lead the school."
The Royal and Derngate, who are currently at the early stages of application, will need to go through a number of processes before the first intake of students can walk through the school gates.
Deborah Annetts from the Bacc for the Future campaign, which calls for creative subjects to be included in one of the school performance measures, the English Baccalaureat or EBacc, understands the motives of The Royal and Derngate's free school plans.
However, she believes setting up specialist schools alone is not going to address the issue of the "continued marginalisation of arts subjects" within secondary education in England.
"We have just had the latest GCSE figures announced and since 2010 there has been a fall in uptake of arts subjects by 21%."
Support for the project is being sought from the New Schools Network, which works with groups who are looking to set up free schools.
Director of the charity, Sarah Pearson said: "Groups like the Royal and Derngate, which are so embedded in their communities, are well positioned to bring teachers, existing schools and other experts together to create schools that really meet the needs of local children.
"Lots of people are concerned about the arts in schools and I'm very excited about their initial ideas to drive access to the arts for all."
The next step for the Royal and Derngate School project will involve them holding a number of public consultations to help shape its plans.
Daeth hi i'r amlwg fel cantores wrth gyrraedd rowndiau terfynol X Factor yn 2009.
Never Give Up On You ydy'r gân fydd y Gymraes yn ei chanu yn y rowndiau terfynol yn Kiev, prifddinas yr Iwcraen.
Katrina and the Waves oedd y cystadleuwyr olaf o'r DU i ennill Eurovision gyda Love Shine a Light ugain mlynedd yn ôl. Ers hynny, does 'na fawr o gariad Ewropeaidd wedi ei ddangos tuag at ymdrechion Prydeinig yn y gystadleuaeth.
Er bod Lucie wedi creu argraff dda hyd yn hyn, mae 'na ambell un yn credu y bydd Brexit yn dylanwadu ar bleidleisiau rhai o'r gwledydd sy'n aelodau o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Ond rhaid aros yn bositif!
Dyma i chi rai o gysylltiadau Cymreig eraill y gystadleuaeth dros y blynyddoedd:
Nicky Stevens o Gaerfyrddin yw'r unig un o Gymru (hyd yma!) i brofi llwyddiant yn yr Eurovision. Roedd Nicky yn aelod o Brotherhood of Man ganodd y gân Save Your Kisses for Me. Mae'r grŵp yn dal i deithio yn rheolaidd hyd heddiw ac mae Nicky yn dal i chwifio'r Ddraig fel un o'r aelodau gwreiddiol.
Mary Hopkin o Bontardawe oedd y cystadleuydd cyntaf o Gymru i ymddangos ar lwyfan Eurovision. Hi oedd y ffefryn i ennill yn 1970 gyda'r gân Knock Knock Who's There? Ond y Wyddeles, Dana aeth a hi trwy ganu All Kinds Of Everything. Roedd yna rhywfaint o gysur i'r Gymraes gan bod Knock Knock Who's There?yn sengl boblogaidd yn y siartiau ar draws Ewrop ac America gan gyrraedd rhif 2 yn siart y DU.
Mae Michael Ball yn falch o'i wreiddiau Cymreig er mai yng nghanolbarth Lloegr y cafodd o'i eni. Roedd o'n cynrychioli y DU yn yr Eurovision yn 1992 yn Mälmo, Sweden gyda'r gân One Moment in Time. Ond penderfynodd y gwylwyr nad oedd amser y gân wedi cyrraedd ac fe ddaeth o'n ail. Why Me? gan Linda Martin enillodd. O ba wlad yr oedd hi'n dod? Ie, Iwerddon. Yn digwydd bod hefyd cafodd y gân fuddugol ei chyfansoddi gan Johnny Logan enillodd i'r Ynys Werdd yn 1980 ac yn 1987. Mae'r Gwyddelod 'ma yn cael hwyl arni hi yn yr Eurovision!
Yn 1996 Gina G oedd yn cynrychioli y Deyrnas Unedig, ond a oedd 'na gysylltiad Cymreig y flwyddyn honno? Oedd, Ooh...Aahhh...Just a Little Bit, gan bod Elaine Morgan o Gaerdydd yn canu i... Ffrainc! Roedd hi'n aelod o'r grwp celtaidd Dan Ar Braz & L'Héritage des Celtes. Hwn oedd y tro cyntaf i gân yn rownd derfynol yr Eurovision gael ei chanu mewn Llydaweg. Dim ond dix huit o bwyntiau gawson nhw gan orffen yn 19eg. Gesiwch pwy enillodd? Ie'r Gwyddelod 'na eto! Eimear Quinn yn canu The Voice.
Roedd Jessica Garlick yn ferch ysgol ym Mhorth Tywyn pan lwyddodd hi i gael llwyddiant ar gystadlaethau canu ar y teledu gan gynnwys Pop Idol a My Kind of Music. Yn 2002 cafodd hi ei dewis i gynrchioli y DU yn yr Eurovision yn Talinn, Estonia. Daeth hi'n drydydd gyda'r gân Come Back.
Roedd Bonnie Tyler yn boblogaidd ar draws Ewrop cyn Eurovision 2013 gyda chaneuon fel Total Eclipse of the Heart a It's a Heartbreak yn cyrraedd brig y siartiau ar y cyfandir. Believe in Me oedd y gân roedd y gantores o Sgiwen yn ei chanu yn Sweden. Ond, doedd gan y gwrandawyr Ewropeaidd ddim llawer o ffydd yn y gân - 19 oedd hi allan o 23 yn y rownd derfynol neu falle fod pledleisiau Bonnie Lost in France?
Cafodd y gantores opera ei geni yn Texas a'i magu yn Awstralia, ond cynrychioli Armenia wnaeth Mary-Jean O'Doherty yn Vienna yn 2015. Beth yw'r cysylltiad Cymreig? Mae Mary yn byw yng Nghaerdydd ac wedi dysgu Cymraeg. Daeth Face The Shadow yn 16eg yn y rownd derfynol ond wnaeth hynny ddim taflu cysgod dros fwynhad y gantores.
Hen dro, Joe
You're not Alone oedd y gân gafodd ei chanu gan Joe Woolford o Rhuthun a'i gyfaill Jake Shakeshaft o Stoke y llynedd yn Stockholm, Sweden, a doedden nhw ddim ar eu pennau eu hunain wrth i'r pleidleisio 'gwleidyddol' traddodiadol fynd yn eu herbyn. Dim ond wyth o bwyntiau gawson nhw er bod 'na ganmoliaeth fawr i'w perfformiad yn y rownd derfynol.
The 27-year-old's body was found after officers were called to his Isle of Man home on 30 July.
Insp Iain MacMillan said: "Mr Baggs had suffered from asthma for many years and died as a result of his condition."
Police have informed the coroner that the Plymouth-born entrepreneur died from "natural causes".
Insp McKillop said: "From the reaction we have encountered during our enquiries, it is clear that this is a tragic and premature loss of such a hardworking and visionary young man.
"We extend our thoughts to the family at this sad time and on their behalf I would request that they are now left in peace to grieve."
Baggs lived in the Isle of Man for most of his life and ran a telecommunications company.
When he was aged 21 in 2010, he became the youngest ever candidate to appear on the BBC One show The Apprentice.
Baggs, who was fired in the semi-final, became famous for his one-liners which included "Everything I touch turns to sold" and "I'm Stuart Baggs the brand".
He was found dead by police after they were called to his home on Central Promenade in Douglas, at 09:00 BST last Thursday.

Somerville College's Andrew Warren and US professor Wyndham Lathem, 42, are accused of fatally stabbing Trenton Cornell-Duranleau in Mr Lathem's flat.
The killing on 27 July led to a US-wide eight-day manhunt for the suspects.
In San Francisco's Hall of Justice, Mr Warren, 56, declined to fight his extradition to Chicago for questioning and was remanded in custody.
Neither of the suspects has been formally charged.
The Briton appeared in baggy, orange prison-issued sweatshirt and jogging bottoms. He was filmed and photographed by the press in court.
Listening to the judge's questions assisted by a hearing aid, Mr Warren agreed he would not oppose extradition and said he would accept a public lawyer as he could not afford his own.
Judge Edward Torpoco said: "Based on the nature of the charge, the defendant is remanded and no bail is set."
Filming was permitted by the judge as Mr Warren had already been subject to extensive publicity as the subject of a manhunt.
After the hearing, his lawyer, Ariel Boyce-Smith, said: "Mr Warren is agreeable to being transported to Chicago, he wants the process to be started.
"I just want to remind everyone that he is presumed innocent and his agreement to go there to start the process is where we are now."
Mr Warren, who says online that he lives in Swindon, Wiltshire, has since been suspended from his job at Somerville College as senior treasury assistant.
Prof Lathem was a microbiology professor at Northwestern University in Illinois and specialised in the bacteria that caused the bubonic plague. He has since been sacked.
He appeared in court earlier this week and will be returned to Chicago for questioning.
Prof Lathem's lawyer said he plans to plead not guilty and he described the academic as a "gentle soul".
Earlier this month, Mr Warren handed himself in San Francisco, nearly 2,000 miles from Chicago, while Prof Lathem gave himself up in Oakland, also in California, on 4 August.

The company is integrating with Friends Life, which it took over in January, and said it wanted to focus its operations on "core locations".
Offices in Salford, Stretford and Salisbury will be shut and staffing reduced in its Exeter, Manchester and Dorking offices.
A company spokesman said it was too early to say how many jobs would go from these six sites.
The Salford, Salisbury and Stretford offices - where close to a thousand people are employed in total - will close within the next 18 months.
Although there will be staff cuts in Dorking it will remain a "specialist site for our corporate pensions business".
"Any role reductions which may occur as a result of Aviva's integration with Friends Life will form part of the potential reduction of 1,500 roles we announced in January 2015," said a company statement.
It added: "We appreciate this is disappointing and difficult news for some of our employees and we are helping our people through this process, providing a range of support and advice, and consulting with employee representative bodies about these changes."
The firm said its core UK locations would be Bristol, Norwich, Perth, Sheffield and York supported by a number of specialist and trading sites across the UK with its group headquarters remaining in London.
The Shrimpers seemed set for a third win in a row when Will Atkinson fired Phil Brown's side in front on his 150th appearance for the club.
But Jonathan Obika netted an equaliser 17 minutes from time to make it nine games without defeat for Swindon against Southend.
The hosts - who have now gone seven league games without defeat - opened the scoring after only 12 minutes with Atkinson on target for the third time in two games.
The midfielder was picked out by Anthony Wordsworth's through ball and stabbed a low, left-footed shot into the bottom left-hand corner of the net from close range.
However, Swindon hit back to equalise after a spell of sustained pressure in the 73rd minute with Obika firing a deflected left-footed shot into the bottom corner.
Southend piled on the pressure late on with Stephen McLaughlin, Marc-Antoine Fortune and Wordsworth all being denied by Town goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux.

Southend's frustrating recent record against Swindon continued with a draw against the Robins at Roots Hall. | 38,004,855 | 15,300 | 781 | true |
With Sharks trailing by two points, Mugford sent the final kick of a low-quality game wide from the right.
Newcastle led 10-3 at the break after Sinoti Sinoti crossed in the corner.
Sale's Johnny Leota and Bryon McGuigan scored tries after the break, but Mike Delany's four penalties for Newcastle proved decisive.
Victory for Falcons, who finished 11th in the table last season, was their first in the opening game since 2007.
Neither side could get a grip on the game until Samoan wing Sinoti broke through Sale's defence to cross in the corner just before half-time.
Sale, without instrumental fly-half Danny Cipriani following his move to Wasps, finally came to life after the break, with Leota making a clever run to score.

Mark Jones, 45, of Cwmbran, denies murdering five-week-old Amelia Jones.
Prosecutor Paul Lewis told Newport Crown Court Mr Jones did not like Amelia's father Ian Skillern and after her birth said she looked like him.
The court heard that Amelia died after suffering a bleed to the brain and a fractured skull.
Mr Jones was looking after Amelia at her home when she was injured in November 2012.
He said he fell with Amelia in his arms on one occasion and passed out while holding her on another.
In summing up, Mr Lewis said: "Mark Jones did not like the fact that Amelia Jones looked like her father."
He described Mr Jones as a liar of "Oscar-winning talent", saying Amelia's injuries were more commonly associated with a "motor vehicle crash or falling down a flight of stairs".
Mr Jones denies murder and the trial continues.
The 33-year-old woman was assaulted outside the Rose Street Brewery pub in Rose Street at about 21:30 on Friday 9 December.
Police believe the two women in the CCTV images could help with their investigation.
Anyone who recognises the pair are being urged to contact police.
Det Sgt Andy MacRae, of Police Scotland, said: "This incident resulted in a significant and disfiguring injury to the victim.
"At the time of the incident, the location was extremely busy with people socialising in the area and I am hopeful that someone will be able to assist us in identifying these two females who I believe may have information regarding the assault.
"As part of this inquiry we are keen to identify the two females pictured in the CCTV footage and they or anyone who can assist us in identifying them is asked to contact police immediately."
The first woman is white, about 5ft 8in, in her mid-20s to early 30s, of slim build, with long blonde hair.
At the time of the incident, she was wearing a white jacket, a blue Christmas jumper with a penguin on the front, and black trousers.
The second woman is white, about 5ft 8in, of slim build, aged in her mid-20s to early 30s and with dark hair.
She was wearing a cream jacket, jeans and black knee-high boots with a zip on the side. She was also carrying a black shoulder bag.
The figure was well below the 3% growth seen in 2011 and suggests the economy contracted in the fourth quarter.
"In 2012, the German economy proved to be resistant in a difficult economic environment and withstood the European recession," the federal statistics office Destatis said.
Some analysts believe the German economy will enter recession itself.
Destatis said economic activity "slowed down considerably" in the second half of the year, and particularly in the final quarter.
"The full-year growth figure [of 0.7%] implies a contraction of around half a percentage point in the fourth quarter," the office's top statistician Norbert Raeth said.
Last month, Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, cut its growth forecast for this year to 0.4% and warned that the economy may have contracted in the final three months of 2012, and may do so again in first quarter of 2013.
The eurozone economy as a whole is already in recession, having contracted in both in the third and fourth quarters of last year.
For 2012 as a whole, Destatis said foreign trade was "very robust", with exports up 4.1% on 2011. Imports grew by 2.3%. The positive trade balance was "once again the main driving force for economic growth in Germany".
Household expenditure increased by 0.8%, while government spending was up 1%.
The figures also showed that while the service sector of the economy expanded, industry and construction contracted.
Destatis will publish official fourth-quarter growth figures on 14 February.
Training to spot the effects of so-called legal highs will also be offered to health workers, police and others.
Targeted campaigns to warn young people via social media and older people through charities will be boosted.
Public Health Minister Rebecca Evans said advice had been taken on how best to spend £50m a year on the problem.
The three-year plan will update and round off a ten-year strategy - Working Together to Reduce Harm - launched in 2008.
It sets out how the Welsh Government will work with Public Health Wales (PHW), the police and other agencies to reduce the impact of such activity, including the number of drug and alcohol-related deaths.
It includes a UK-wide surveillance programme led by academics to assess the scale of the problem of drugs like steroids in Wales and the harm that results.
The system works by recording all needle and syringe programme activity across Wales in the Harm Reduction Database, which also notes when steroid users seek medical help for adverse effects of the drug.
Sport Wales will also help organise a summit on the misuse of performance-enhancing drugs, due to take place in November.
The plan also updates advice on tackling problems from new psychoactive substances - also known as legal highs - which have been banned from sale on the high street since May.
"Every year we invest almost £50m in tackling substance misuse," Ms Evans said.
"We ran an extensive consultation exercise last year to ensure our latest delivery plan would make the most effective use of this money.
"We have taken on board the suggestions that came out of the process, including actions to ensure that services are accessible to everyone who might need to use them."
Currently, people with the age-related degenerative eye condition, wet AMD, who live in the Hywel Dda University Health Board area, have to travel to Ammanford or Aberystwyth.
But new services will be set up in Pembrokeshire and south Ceredigion to cut journey times.
The Welsh government said it would also reduce surgery waiting times.
Wet AMD (or wet age-related macular degeneration) causes sufferers to gradually lose their central vision, making reading increasingly difficult, colours less vibrant and people's faces difficult to recognise.
Previously, people with the condition had to travel to Amman Valley or Bronglais hospitals.
But the healthboard is currently considering South Pembrokeshire or Tenby Hospitals as a base for Pembrokeshire patients and either Cardigan or Crymych Health Centres for residents in south Ceredigion.
It is hoped the news sites will be up and running within the next three to four months.
In addition, consultant ophthalmologists are also training high street optometrists to review patients whose conditions are more stable. in the community.
A spokesman for the health board said: "Not only will these services bring care closer to home for these communities, but they will be developed as one-stop-shop services, which can accommodate review and injection in the same visit in order to stop duplicate journeys when possible.
"This will also release capacity in the two main sites for other surgical work, reducing waiting times for patients requiring cataract surgery."
The WWT centre in Llanelli, opened on 17 April, 1991 - and has since welcomed more than 1.5 million people through its doors.
Celebrations include photographic displays of developments and events over the years.
There will also be performances of Theatr na nÓg's "You should ask Wallace" by actor Ioan Hefin.
Centre manager Nigel Williams said: "Sunday is a chance for us to say thank you to all past staff and volunteers and to the public who keep us going. Plus it's a great chance to look forward to the future and have some cake."
It hopes to reassure consumers who might otherwise shun its products. But how far do the new measures go, who is monitoring them and what reassurance do they really offer?
In a long metal shed, hundreds of light brown mink dart around within rows of wire cages. It's really quiet - only the occasional squeak can be heard.
The fate of these animals is ultimately the same as any other farmed mink. At six months old, they will be gassed and their pelts sent to auction.
But for now, these ones are being studied by researchers working on new animal welfare assessments for the fur industry.
The mink are kept at a fur farm belonging to Aarhus University in Denmark. The senior scientist, Steen Moller, showed me around one of the sheds.
"Like all other farm animals, they are kept in a confined space, so what we need to investigate is how do we provide the best environment for them," he says.
The cages contain shelves, straw and "toys" (plastic tubes), which are enrichments required by Danish law. Legal requirements vary from country to country, but Mr Moller is working on a common set of welfare assessment measures which can be applied to all European fur farms that sign up to be inspected.
"Basically, a farm will have three visits in one year in order to get an assessment," he says.
"If they have all of the provisions for the animals in terms of cages and enrichments and they feed them well and take care of them well, then they will get a good score. Any farm starts with score zero and then they get scores for everything they do. The best score they can get is 100, but I don't think anyone will get 100."
The "Welfur" assessments, as they are known, will look at housing and management conditions, but also observe how the animals themselves seem to be doing.
One of the tests involves putting a stick through the bars of the cage. Inquisitive mink that approach it are seen as well adjusted. Any that back off and appear fearful are considered likely to be living in stress.
In another room, a specially adapted cage includes a nest box, food, a running wheel and swimming water. Pressing the right lever allows access to each of these resources. Observing how often mink are prepared to press each lever to access different parts of the cage is used to measure the animal's preferences.
"They are quite good learners, says Mr Moller's colleague, Jens Malmkvist, "so in that way, we can say we ask the animal what they want instead of what we think they want.
"The nest box - they want to work for this permanently. They will work for access to swimming water and they will work for access to a running wheel - however, on a low level, so maybe this is more like a luxury thing. It is a 'nice to have' rather than a 'need to have'."
Those conclusions, based on various scientific studies, might seem rather convenient for the fur industry. Nest boxes are already attached to cages on mink farms. Adding running wheels or access to swimming water would be harder and more costly.
"We have done a lot of studies on other things that are easier to give them, like permanent access to straw or a shelf or something to play with," says Mr Malmkvist.
"The resources in the cage do matter for them, so we don't decide what they should have, but we try to provide some knowledge - if you have to enrich the cages, which things should you do first?
"And then, swimming water is not in the front line. It would be enriching for mink probably, but it's not the first thing to do if you have to invest in cages."
Farms which have resources that mink appear to value most in scientific studies will score well under the "Welfur" scheme. Lesser scores are given for enrichments that are not so highly valued or are considered unproven.
The new welfare inspections are due to start in January 2017. They will cover the three main fur animal species farmed in Europe - the mink, the blue fox and the silver fox.
Fur Europe - the trade association behind the scheme - says an independent company is being used to conduct the checks.
Farmers will have to pay towards the cost of their assessments, but taking part is voluntary.
"It is voluntary, yes, but to which extent, you can discuss," says Mette Lykke Hansen, Fur Europe's chief executive.
"We have had a statement from the European auction houses saying that from 2020, they will not sell skins that are not Welfur certified, so if you are not in the system, it will be very difficult to sell your skins from 2020 and onwards."
If any farm that opts for an assessment fails to reach an acceptable welfare score, it will also be unable to sell its furs at European auction houses, according to Fur Europe.
It does not intend to publish each farm's score - individual farmers can choose to do that if they wish. Instead, it says it will publish only aggregated data, possibly for each country.
The fur farmer Ceslovas Tallat-Kelpsa does plan to sign up. He keeps more than 200,000 mink on his farms in Lithuania. He thinks it will improve animal welfare standards and make European furs more competitive, boosting the price he is paid for his pelts.
"I believe it will increase," he says. "Buyers want to buy certificated fur."
He told me that in 2015, the price paid per pelt barely covered his production costs. He received an average of €30 (£26) for each one, when previously he had been paid about €70 (£61) on average.
The fur industry is keen to convince people it is doing all it can to look after the animals in its care, but its Welfur scheme does not convince everyone.
"I have come to the conclusion that it is very little more than a PR lobbying tool to try and defend the fur industry, mostly within the European Union," says Mark Glover from Respect for Animals, which campaigns against the international fur trade.
"The criteria are economic. A mink cage, for instance, will never be longer than a person's arm, for obvious reasons of catching and handling the mink.
"They are incapable of making conditions anywhere near acceptable for the animal welfare of the mink and that is where we disagree with them entirely. Fur is an abhorrent product and the sooner it is banned, the better."
Fur farming was banned in England and Wales by the Fur Farming (Prohibition) Act 2000. At the time, there were 13 fur farms in England and none in Wales. Similar bans followed in other parts of the UK. The import and sale of fur skins and products is permitted.
Mink is the animal most commonly bred for its fur in Europe, where the biggest producer is Denmark. It produced 17.8 million mink skins in 2015, according to industry data from auction houses where the skins are traded.
Fur trims have become popular on garments, but the pelts are also used for other products including scarves, hats, cushions, key rings and coats.
Fashion designers such as Stella McCartney have refused to use real fur. Others have opted to use artificial "faux" fur instead. But real fur continues to appear on catwalks across Europe.
"I agree that it is not necessary," says fur farmer Ceslovas Tallat-Kelpsa, "but in my mind it is a good product, very natural, very ecological. I think we are doing everything in the best way we can."

The community sports facility in the city centre offers free sessions, including football, hockey and tennis, and is accessible 24 hours a day.
There are almost 200 courts around the world, named after Dutch footballer Johan Cruyff, who died last year.
Aberdeen-born Denis Law will also receive an honorary degree at Robert Gordon University later.
Law starred for Manchester United and Scotland and was named European footballer of the year in 1964.
Aberdeen City Council joined forces with the Denis Law Legacy Trust and the Cruyff Foundation for the project.
The all-weather court on Catherine Street cost about £250,000.
The base, in Sheffield, is one of ten across England and Wales set to shut by 2017 as the service works to meet a 14% budget reduction.
South Yorkshire has been served by the NPAS since April 2013 with a helicopter based in Sheffield for ten hours a day.
The NPAS said despite the closures it is "normally" able to reach 98% of the population within 20 minutes.
Simon Wilkinson, of the NPAS, said: "The closure of NPAS Sheffield is part of a national programme of planned activity to ensure that essential air support remains in place to support the police forces of England and Wales at a significantly reduced cost to the public.
"The decision to close NPAS Sheffield was based on an impact assessment of the ability of the National Police Air Service to provide air support to police forces in line with areas of the greatest threat, harm and risk to the public."
The nearest base is Carr Gate in Wakefield, which operates 24-hours a day.
The footage shows the detainees, all from English speaking regions, in squalid conditions.
Opposition politician Asaah Patrick Ndangoh is blaming the government and says the conditions are "comparable to concentration death camps".
When asked to comment on the video allegations the communications minister told the BBC that he had not seen it.
The detainees are believed to have gone on hunger strike to protest against their degrading treatment.
In recent months there have been increased tensions in the English-speaking regions of the country following protests and strikes against marginalisation by the majority Francophone government.
Mr Ndangoh, a former deputy mayor for the opposition Social Democratic Front (SDF) party, says in the video that the captives were abducted six months ago and have been held at various hidden cells in appalling conditions.
It is not known what the individuals are being charged with.
But Mr Ndangoh was accused by police in July of helping a radical Anglophone member of parliament to escape.
Mr Ndangoh goes on to say that they are currently being held in a bunker at the "gendarmerie [military police] headquarters ," in the capital Yaounde.
"If dying is the price we must pay to guarantee our freedom and re-establish the independence of our country, then it is a price worth paying." he says.
Dozens of other Anglophones arrested in a similar manner now face the death penalty for terrorism and endangering the security of the state.
Parents of some of those detained told the BBC's Randy Joe Sa'ah that they did not know where their sons had disappeared to until they saw the video.
John Fru Ndi the leader of the SDF has strongly condemned the way in which Anglophones are being arrested and, "locked up under inhumane conditions".

Ramsey, our most creative player at Euro 2016, is suspended for Wednesday's semi-final but, in any case, our next opponents would not give him room to play the way that Belgium did in the quarter-finals.
Belgium's approach suited us because, as I expected, we were able to use Ramsey or Gareth Bale to get at them down their left when they did not get men back quickly from attacks.
Portugal, in contrast, are a safety-first team who will keep their shape far better. Rather than there being lots of chances for both teams like there were in Lille, this will be a game of few opportunities.
Wales are on the crest of a wave after what we have achieved in France so far, but this is a totally different test.
Portugal are yet to win a game in 90 minutes at this tournament and, although I am backing Wales to win, I have a feeling this one will go to extra time too.
This situation is obviously all new to Wales but Portugal have got plenty of experience of being in the latter stages of a major finals before.
Seven of the 15 players who featured in their quarter-final win over Poland were in their squad that reached the semi-finals at Euro 2012 and their manager Fernando Santos took Greece to the knockout rounds at that tournament and the 2014 World Cup.
First and foremost, Santos sets them up not to be beaten and they have some seasoned players on this stage, who will be looking for any advantage they can get in a knockout tie. In a close match, that includes changing the course of the game with a red card.
It is a viable way of winning for them so we need to ignore any attempts to influence the referee by Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe, or anyone else, and be very careful with our tackling too.
That was something I was worried about against Belgium, when we had three players booked for challenges inside the first 25 minutes, but I am sure none of our players will do anything daft.
It is the kind of game where a Wales red card would tip things in Portugal's favour, and they will be fully aware of that.
With Ronaldo and Nani up front, Portugal do not play with a specialist striker - both of them are wingers who roam right across the pitch.
They both look to get into the area to get on the end of balls into the box, with Nani often coming in from the right and Ronaldo off the left.
Between them, Wales' right wing-back Chris Gunter, right-sided centre-back James Chester and our two defensive midfielders, Joe Allen and Joe Ledley, kept Eden Hazard quiet when he looked to do something similar for Belgium, although that was usually when he was on the ball.
Ronaldo, with his aerial ability, offers a slightly different threat but the key to stopping him will be the same - tracking his movement and passing him over to a team-mate when he comes inside - particularly to stop him finding space with late runs into the area. It will be the same with Nani on the opposite flank.
Against Poland, Portugal's full-backs, Eliseu and Cedric (numbers 19 and 21 in the right-hand graphic above), both looked to get forward and put those crosses in, and it will be the same if Vieirinha returns at right-back.
But, apart from Nani, who had two headers at goal against Poland, and Ronaldo, who had none, they do not get many people into the box.
And, as long as we keep our shape, we are defensively sound on our flanks, with Gunter on the right and Neil Taylor on the left, to stop those balls being delivered in the first place - which is another reason I think the game will be very tight.
Jonny Williams is the natural replacement for Ramsey in midfield and, as well as working hard, he can cause Portugal problems by running at them with the ball.
I would also just do a straight swap at the back with James Collins, who is very strong in the air to help us deal with those crosses, coming in for Davies.
Chris Coleman got everything right from a tactical point of view against Belgium and I am confident he will do the same again - he has tweaked his squad throughout this tournament to suit the opposition and, even without two key players, he can do the same again.

We are an adaptable team and, although we are at our best when we play on the counter-attack, we are capable of playing possession football too - we actually kept the ball better than I thought we could against Belgium when they sat back after going 1-0 up.
There will have to be an element of that in Lyon too, because Portugal are not going to step out unless they go a goal behind, but although we will see enough of the ball to construct some attacks, the priority is that we do not leave ourselves open on the break.
If it does go to extra time, we can deal with it - this Wales team is full of engines, all fit and strong. That is not an area where we will be lacking either.
Not counting the own goal that decided the Northern Ireland game, Wales have had six different scorers at Euro 2016 - only Belgium have had more.
We have proved at this tournament that we are not a one-man team going forward because other players have produced in front of goal, not just Gareth Bale.
It is Bale who I am hoping will make the difference against Portugal, though.
Just as Portugal will look to Ronaldo to provide that bit of inspiration, he is our most likely match-winner.
If you took those two out of the game, then I would be predicting a 0-0 draw and penalties because the teams are very evenly matched. With Bale and Ronaldo on the pitch, I am expecting to see a bit of genius when it really matters.
There will be duels all over the pitch that will shape the way the game goes so I do not want to bill it as a straight battle between the Real Madrid duo, but I imagine it will be something to do with one of them that decides who makes the final.

Robert Wrinch, of Old Newton near Stowmarket, Suffolk, was given the Reliant Rialto - named Madge - for his 50th birthday by friends last year.
The group decided to create a 2016 calendar, depicting the car in a series of farming situations.
Mr Wrinch said Madge is "always busy as there's plenty to do on the farm".
Mr Wrinch said that although the car in the BBC comedy was a Reliant Regal, his friends delivered the Rialto dressed as Batman and Robin - aping the Del Boy and Rodney Trotter characters in the programme.
"We've got a real good bunch of friends and every year somebody has a bright idea for a calendar and it's become a bit of a tradition," he said.
"Madge has been helping with the harvest, herding turkeys, pigs and helping with dairy cattle - she's always busy as there's plenty to do on the farm."
Proceeds from the calendar's sale will be donated to the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.
"If we can do something good out of something like this, then happy days."
Hawkins, the 2013 World Championship runner-up, was 3-1 and 5-4 down but came through 6-5 against the 122nd seed and one-time world number 17.
"He completely outplayed me at the start," said Hawkins, the seventh seed.
Hicks, 42, said: "It was nip and tuck all the way but I had some unbelievable bad luck in the final frame."
Devon-born Hicks, who now lives in Falmouth, reached the World Championship semi-final in 1995 and was a top-32 player as recently as 2007.
He turned professional in 1991 but lost his professional tour card in 2013 and now combines playing as an amateur with coaching. He was knocked out in York after losing the deciding frame 55-49.
"In all the years I have been playing I don't think I have had such bad luck in the last frame, I really haven't," Hicks said.
"Everything went awkward, or I had a kick, and it summed it up at the end when I potted a yellow and went in off on what was probably game ball. It's unbelievable.
"I always felt like I was in control in the last frame and when you are playing a top player you feel like you deserve a bit of the run of the ball and I just didn't get it.
"I played really well to go 3-1 up. I missed a few in the second half. I wanted to fall over the line and feel like I am in the tournament."
Kent's Hawkins, a two-time ranking event winner and former quarter-finalist at the York Barbican, added: "I cant believe I won. Andy was desperately unlucky.
"He potted a few balls, didn't land on things and snookered himself.
"It was like I was destined to win it. I am just delighted to get through. It was a tough game and Andy is so dangerous.
"At the start of the match, he wasn't missing anything.
"I would have been devastated to go out. But I managed to claw my way back in to it and I had to pot some good balls in the end to get through."
The home side lost early wickets but were given a chance by a fifth-wicket stand of 82 between Will Bragg (84) and Graham Wagg (34).
The Welsh county finished on 195 for 7 with Tim Groenewald claiming three for 36.
Earlier Somerset collapsed to 188 all out, with Wagg taking five for 50.
Somerset start their Championship campaign away to Durham on 10 April in division one while Glamorgan have a first-class friendly against Cardiff MCCU on 11 April before facing Leicestershire the following week.
The company now calls for people to "use the authentic name they use in real life" on their Facebook profiles.
Several hundred accounts were flagged by a single user for contravening company policy last month.
Chief product officer Chris Cox acknowledged that the experience had been "painful" for those involved.
"I want to apologize to the affected community of drag queens, drag kings, transgender, and extensive community of our friends, neighbours, and members of the LGBT community for the hardship that we've put you through in dealing with your Facebook accounts over the past few weeks," he said.
Mark Snyder, a spokesman for the Transgender Law Center, told the AFP news agency that a planned street protest on Thursday in San Francisco would now become a celebration.
"It was very clear that Facebook was apologetic and wanted to find solutions so that all of us can be our authentic selves online" he said.
He added that it was not just drag queens who had legitimate reasons to use assumed names online.
Judges, social workers, teachers, entertainers and victims of abuse were all justified in using aliases, Mr Snyder said.
Facebook has previously insisted that users of the site use their "real names" in order to avoid abuse and impersonation.
However, it now says that "the spirit of our policy is that everyone on Facebook uses the authentic name they use in real life".
Facebook said that the issue surfaced when a single user reported hundreds of accounts belonging to drag queens and transgender users last month.
The company said it did not realise that drag queens in particular were being targeted because they were among several hundred thousand fake name reports being processed every week,
"We see through this event that there's lots of room for improvement in the reporting and enforcement mechanisms, tools for understanding who's real and who's not," Mr Cox said.
He maintained, however, that a policy of requiring authentic names was still, on balance, a good idea.
"The stories of mass impersonation, trolling, domestic abuse, and higher rates of bullying and intolerance are oftentimes the result of people hiding behind fake names", he said.
"For Sister Roma, that's Sister Roma. For Lil Miss Hot Mess, that's Lil Miss Hot Mess,'' he added, mentioning the names of two drag queens.
"We're already underway building better tools for authenticating the Sister Romas of the world while not opening up Facebook to bad actors."
Tyler Lyness, 30, admitted seven sexual offences including rape at a previous hearing at Bradford Crown Court.
Officers found indecent images of him and other children on his computer when they seized it during a raid last November, West Yorkshire Police said.
Detectives said he had been "entrusted to look after" the child.
Lyness, of Williams Road, Steeton, Keighley, was sentenced at the same court after pleading guilty to one count of rape, two counts of sexual assault and four of making indecent photographs.
Det Insp Phil Bates said: "It was only when we spoke to the victim that the full extent of Lyness's crimes started to become clear.
"He was entrusted to look after this boy, but committed a gross abuse of this trust by sexually assaulting him and sharing indecent images of him on the internet."
Christopher Stitt, 22, is also linked to an attempt to shunt a burning vehicle into officers, it was claimed.
Mr Stitt, of Carrick Hill in the city, was said to have been identified among troublemakers in Ardoyne by a distinctive tattoo on his neck.
The judge refused bail due to the risk of any further offending.
Mr Stitt faces charges of riotous assembly, hijacking and attempted grievous bodily harm with intent over last month's violence.
Twenty police officers were injured in clashes surrounding a contentious Orange Order parade and counter-demonstration by nationalist residents.
Petrol bombs, fireworks and other missiles were thrown during rioting by hundreds of people on both sides of the sectarian divide.
Ten gunshots were also fired at police from a semi-automatic rifle.
Opposing Mr Stitt's application for bail, a prosecution barrister said he was identified by police on CCTV footage of the disturbances.
It was claimed that he was seen throwing missiles at police lines.
At one stage, he allegedly brought crates of bottles to those involved in the attacks, the court heard.
According to the prosecution, Mr Stitt filled some bottles with brown paint at the scene.
Paint marks were said to have been found on his footwear following his arrest.
The court was told Mr Stitt is alleged to have driven a hijacked Citroen Picasso up Brompton Park during the trouble.
He got out before another man then tried to use it to ram another car at police lines, it was claimed.
Mr Stitt was said to have given a prepared statement to police in which he accepted being the person identified by police.
However, he denies involvement in the alleged offences, including the hijacking incident.
Despite arguments by his barrister, the judge refused bail due to the risk of any further offending.
Lord Justice Coghlin added that a further application could be made once the marching season is over.
Mr Keen, whose wife Ann is a former Labour MP and health minister, had been MP for the London constituency of Feltham and Heston since 1992.
He was chairman of Parliament's all-party football group and spent 18 years before becoming an MP as a scout for Middlesbrough football club.
Mr Keen is survived by his wife, two sons and a daughter.
As well as being chairman of the all-party football group, he was also chairman of the equivalent athletics group and a member of the Commons Culture, Media and Sports Committee.
His time as a football scout included the period when Jackie Charlton was Middlesbrough manager, and he claimed part of the credit for bringing Graeme Souness to the club.
Announcing the death, which happened last Thursday, Mr Brown said in a statement: "Alan was a great MP, locally popular, a diligent London MP, and a great fighter for local causes.
"I salute his bravery in facing cancer - fighting it as long as he could - and he will be remembered as someone who taught us how to fight illness. As he acknowledged, the NHS could not have done more to be of help and support."
Tony Blair, Mr Brown's predecessor as prime minister, said Mr Keen would be "much-missed" as a "hard working" MP and "a dedicated constituency campaigner".
"In the north east he will be remembered for his time as a scout with Middlesbrough," Mr Blair said.
"He brought that passion for football with him to Westminster and was a fantastic advocate for sport as a force for good in society through all his years in the Commons."
Mr Brown's successor as Labour leader, Ed Miliband, said: "Alan Keen was a decent, generous man... Labour to his core - loyal, passionate about social justice and deeply committed to a fairer society.
"Alan was great friend to me and he will be sorely missed by all."
Mr Keen was born in London and brought up in Redcar, on the North East coast near Middlesbrough, before serving in the British Army for three years. He later joined the fire protection industry.
He was a member of Hounslow Borough Council from 1986-90 before entering Parliament in 1992.
Mr Keen and his wife Ann, who he married in 1980 and who was MP for the neighbouring seat of Brentford and Isleworth, made headlines ahead of the 2010 election over their expenses claims.
They were asked to pay back £1,500 claimed for a second home while their other house was boarded up during prolonged refurbishment work.
Mr Keen had a majority of 4,658 in the 2010 election.
The drama, in Russia's western Pskov region, was streamed live on the video app Periscope by the boy, Denis, and his girlfriend Katya. Dozens of their friends watched it, Russian media say.
Special forces finally stormed the house and found the children's bodies. They had apparently shot themselves.
They had run away after a family row.
In the Periscope video, broadcast on the Russian NTV channel, Denis and Katya are heard laughing - apparently drunkenly - as Denis gives a running commentary while shooting at a police van.
At one point during Monday's siege Denis said he had shot and killed two dogs in the village, called Strugi Krasnyye.
The children also uploaded pictures of themselves to the social network Instagram during the siege and posted two tender farewell messages.
Police say they did not return fire, but tried to persuade the children to surrender, but in vain. The bodies showed "clear signs of suicide", an official statement said.
After the teenagers stopped answering the phone, the investigators said, the 15-year-old boy first shot the girl and then killed himself.
Katya said they got hold of two rifles, a pistol and ammunition by breaking into a safe in the cottage, which belonged to her stepfather. He was in the special forces, she said - which is why there were guns in the cottage.
They had broken in by climbing through a window.
Katya said they had got to the village by bus, having stolen money from her mother.
Police are now questioning their parents and blood samples have been taken from the bodies to test for alcohol and drugs. Bottles of liquor were visible in the Periscope video.
In the video Katya said she had run away from home with Denis three days earlier, after a violent argument with her mother. During that clash, she said, she had grabbed a knife and Denis had shot her mother in the right hip using an air pistol.
During the siege, their parents went to the scene and implored them to surrender, but they refused. At one point Katya filmed Denis throwing a TV set out of the window. Investigators now say that Denis had played truant from school and had got poor academic results.
"It all started when I had a row with mum," Katya said.
Her mother had refused to let her stay out late, but she left home anyway. "They found me at night and beat me up cruelly. In front of Denis and his mother. Then I went home, but ran away again... and we hid here," she said on Periscope.
Russia's Lenta.ru news website quoted a farewell message posted by both Denis and Katya on social media during the siege, on Monday. It appeared to express teenage angst about being misunderstood by adults.
"I loved you, but you did not notice how you had ruined my mind and life," it said.
"Goodbye all - friends, family and acquaintances. Don't worry, I'll leave in a beautiful way. Good luck to everyone in life, and please don't fear to live however you want or feel is necessary. A life of pleasure is the best life. I love you."
The higher education funding council has analysed last year's degree grades awarded by England's universities.
It shows 82% of former state school students achieved a first or upper second degree, compared with 73% of private school students.
The figures also show that women achieved better degree grades than men.
The Higher Education Funding Council has published an analysis showing the wide range of grades being awarded to different groups of students who graduated in 2014.
Earlier this year, figures were published showing record levels of first class degrees - with 21% graduating with this top grade. There were a further 51% of students awarded upper seconds.
The funding council figures provide a more detailed profile of where the top grades are being awarded.
Private school students are significantly behind - and the analysis says that this is only partially explained by state school students entering with higher A-level grades.
About half this nine percentage point gap remains unexplained - with state school pupils performing better than might have been predicted.
State school pupils consistently outperform private school students relative to their A-level grades on admissions.
For students entering with three B grades, 75% of independent school students will achieve a first or upper second class degree, while about 84% of state school students will achieve these top grades.
There is also a big variation in degree grades by subject. Among students taking medicine, 90% received a first or upper second, compared with 73% for maths and 69% for law.
Women are ahead of men in degree grades, with 74% achieving firsts or upper seconds compared with 70% of men.
In a further profile of the stronger performers, students from richer backgrounds tend to get higher grades and white students get significantly higher grades than those from ethnic minorities.
Disabled and part-time students also tend to do less well than those without disabilities and those studying full time.
The rising levels of top degree grades has prompted complaints about grade inflation - with the number of first class degrees having doubled in a decade.
The analysis shows that for students entering with the equivalent of three C grades at A-level, 70% will achieve a first or upper second class degree. For students with three B grades, 80% are awarded a first or upper second.
Among those entering with three C grades, about 15% achieve a first class degree.
"Once again, robust analysis shows persistent unexplained differences in degree outcomes for particular groups of students," said Madeleine Atkins, chief executive of the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
"Students who are disabled, or from a disadvantaged background, or from an ethnic minority group, continue to achieve lower degree outcomes than their non-disabled, white, advantaged peers.
"We must ensure that all students regardless of background or characteristics fulfil their potential and achieve the degree outcomes they deserve."
The chick, named Garan - the Welsh word for crane - was reared on the Gwent Levels after its parents, known as Lofty and Gibble, nested there earlier this year.
The adults originated from the Great Crane Project, which has been reintroducing the birds to the West Country since 2010.
There are about 160 cranes in the UK.
The 4ft (1.2m) grey bird has a "sonorous call" which can be heard more than three miles (5km) away.
Damon Bridge, RSPB manager of the Great Crane Project, said: "These wonderful birds died out across the UK sometime in the 1600s, having been a favourite of the medieval dinner table.
"Seeing them spread back into their former haunts highlights the importance of protecting our wetlands."
Richard Archer, RSPB conservation officer for the Somerset Levels and the Severn Estuary, said: "Although most of the released birds have now reached breeding age, this Welsh pair is one of only three that have successfully reared young this year, so they are really crucial to the project's long term success."
On Tuesday it was revealed that the hours pre-school children with moderate to severe learning difficulties will attend school is to be cut.
Children will receive 2.5 hours a day rather than 4.5 hours.
The cut was revealed in a letter sent from the EA to a parent.
Mr O'Dowd said he heard about the move, which is expected to come into effect in September, on the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
Speaking to BBC Newsline, Mr O'Dowd said that the EA had to "go back to the drawing board".
"The EA have to come forward with a decisive position in relation to the future of special needs education in the nursery sector. But their current decision is flawed.
"It's flawed in two elements. They've made their decision based on the Learning to Learn policy. The Learning to Learn policy does not relate to special educational needs.
"And they've made the decision without consultation," he said.
"It's key - particularly in areas such as this - that you consult with the schools; the parents and the pupils about the future of early years education in the special educational needs sector."
Mr O'Dowd also said that he does not believe the issue will be resolved before the assembly elections in May.
He has already said that he will not be the education minister in the next assembly term.
"I don't think it will be settled before I leave office. But I have no doubt that whoever the minister next time will want to ensure that the proper decision has been made," he said.
"They will want to protect the most vulnerable in society."
The EA has said the move "is designed to increase the opportunity for children to access special school places," and will provide "greater regional consistency".
It is understood that the reductions will affect children in a total of 39 special schools in Northern Ireland.
Nantgaredig RFC beat Sweden 46-5 on the final day of the Six Nations rugby tournament.
The village has a population of little more than 500 people.
The match was organised by Nantgaredig coach and committee member, John George "JG" Phillips, and was the first time the club had taken on a country.
Nantgaredig RFC is currently sitting third in the WRU Division 3 West B league, playing the likes of Amman United, Lampeter Town and Llandeilo.
Meanwhile, Sweden is ranked 57th in the world.
Mr Phillips has lived and played rugby in Sweden and is good friends with the elite manager of the Swedish rugby team, Neil Johnson.
At this time of year, Mr Phillips said Sweden has no grass for the rugby team to play on and, with European games against Latvia and Lithuania coming up, the side needed to "get some rugby under their belts".
The Swedish side has travelled to Carmarthenshire for three days.
They played Carmarthen Athletic in a friendly on Thursday, losing 34 points to 3.
Mr Phillips said before the game: "They looked pretty sharp against Carmarthen Athletic, especially after they'd been training all day.
"They're young, fit, strong guys and the game against us is going to be a tough match.
"For them it's as much about the experience."
Mr Johnson, who is Scottish and has lived in Sweden since 1989, said they had received a "very warm welcome" at Nantgaredig.
"The welcome has been brilliant," he said. "Some of the guys were really surprised just to what level.
"A lot of Swedes go down to New Zealand thinking that it's the heartland of rugby and I say 'you just have to go across to Wales'."
Swedish coach, Mr Johnson, said rugby was the fastest growing team sport in Sweden last year and they are hoping a 10-year strategy focusing on grass roots rugby will boost its profile further.
The match took place at Ystrad Fields, Nantgaredig.
The programme was put in place by Dumfries and Galloway Council after Irish Sea ferry operator Stena Line moved its port operations to Cairnryan.
The strategy aims to redevelop the harbour as a marina complex as well as seeing wider regeneration of the town.
In total, almost £2.5m is being invested in the project.
The breakdown for the latest spending is:
Councillors have now given their approval for the plans for the final tranche of funding.

The Shakers took an early lead when Danny Rose flicked in Chris Hussey's inswinging corner from six yards out.
Visiting keeper Daniel Bachmann denied Ian Henderson twice before the break as Dale searched for an equaliser.
Rochdale struggled to create chances after half-time and Bury striker Leon Clarke had a second goal ruled out for offside late on.
Hussey's set-piece deliveries caused problems for Rochdale in the first half, with Peter Clarke having a goal disallowed 10 minutes before the break for a foul inside the box.
The home side, who reached the fourth round in the last two seasons, came close to an equaliser when James Hooper forced Bachmann into a save and Donal McDermott shot wide.
Keith Hill's side failed to test Bachmann in the second period and Jim McNulty sliced an effort wide in injury time.
Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester:

"For me, I want a style and I want to be able to play in the manner that we probably played today, but I want more of an end product.
"I've got a custodial job to do where I'm trying to develop a framework for success within a limited budget, and develop saleable assets.
"I think I've earned more than enough money over the last two seasons to support this club for the next 10 years.
"Is it disappointing to be out of the FA Cup? Yes. Financially will it affect us? I don't think it's affected us in a negative (way) being out of the cup."
Bury boss David Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester:

"I know what my role is, to try and lead and motivate and inspire a group of players, but I've been inspired and motivated today when I came out to that wall of noise.
"The FA Cup's about the players, it's about the supporters that turned out in numbers and it's for them, it's about giving back.
"We started fantastically well, but we had to because you've got to peg this team back, because they're a very good, aggressive, dynamic team and they love attacking.
"I'd love Man U (next), I absolutely would. I'd love the supporters to go there in their numbers, and it's so local."
The Saffrons led by four points 10 minutes into the second half, but they fell apart after Jack Dowling was sent off and Mark Sweeney got a black card.
Despite scoring three second-half goals, the Ulster side was over-run as Sligo sent over 12 unanswered scores.
The first half had been much closer, Sligo holding a slender 0-7 to 0-6 lead at the break.
Adrian Marron edged the home side in front, but Conor Murray used his pace and directness to fire over a couple of Antrim points.
Sligo goalkeeper Aidan Devaney was almost caught out by a speculative CJ McGourty effort which bounced against a post.
Sweeney operated effectively as sweeper for the Ulster men, and they repelled a series of attacks before Eoin McHugh slotted over the equaliser in the 18th minute.
With Antrim conceding Devaney's kick-outs, Sligo were able to build from the back, going in front with Adrian Marron's second converted free

However, the lead changed hands again, McGourty knocking over a couple of frees, and they were level for the sixth time after Patrick O'Connor steered over two long-range efforts.
Antrim had another goal chance when Ruairi McCann found space in behind the Yeats defence, but smashed his shot wide, and they trailed by a point at the interval.
But McGourty shot Antrim in front from a penalty three minutes into the second half.
Paddy McBride, Niall Delargy and Sean McVeigh combined in a flowing move, before Ruairi McCann was fouled by Ross Donavan, and McGourty drilled the kick into the bottom corner of the net.
But four minutes later they were reduced to 14 men when substitute Jack Dowling received a straight red card for a challenge on Mark Breheny.
However, the Saffrons grabbed another goal soon afterwards when Matthew Fitzpatrick's shot dipped at the last moment and ended in the net.
But the dismissal was compounded by the loss of key man Sweeney on a black card, and Sligo smelt blood and pushed up in all-out attack.
They ran at a crumbling Antrim defence, hitting 11 points on the spin to take total control, with Coen and Marron deadly accurate from frees and play.
Hughes, Murphy and substitute Kevin McDonnell also found the range as the margin stretched to eight points.
Antrim had gone almost half an hour without a score when they plundered a third goal through Paddy McBride, but that stoppage time score meant little in terms of the outcome.
Sligo: A Devaney; R Donavan, E McHugh (0-1), C Harrison; Keelan Cawley, B Egan, J Kelly; A McIntyre, P O'Connor (0-2); N Ewing, M Breheny (0-1, f), N Murphy (0-2); S Coen (0-8, 4f), P Hughes (0-2), A Marren (0-5, 3f).

Antrim: C Kerr; N Delargey, P Gallagher, C Hamill; P McBride (1-1), D Lynch, P McAleer; S McVeigh, S Beatty; C Murray (0-3); M Fitzpatrick (1-0), M Sweeney; CJ McGourty (1-2, 1-0 pen, 0-2f), T McCann (0-1), R McCann.

President Barack Obama has worked to improve relations with the communist government in Havana, culminating in his historic visit in March 2016.
The president-elect threatened in a tweet to put an end to the detente following the death of Fidel Castro.
But the White House bristled at Mr Trump's warning, saying the president was not concerned about the threat.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that reversing the policy would be "a significant economic blow" to Cubans and was "not as easy as a stroke of a pen".
President-elect Trump tweeted he would "terminate" Mr Obama's policy on normalising relations with Cuba as thousands of Cubans queued to pay their respects to , who died on Friday.
They gathered in Havana's Revolution Square as part of farewell commemorations which will last until Tuesday night, when foreign leaders are due to arrive in Cuba to pay their respects.
A cortege will then transport his ashes east across the island to Santiago de Cuba, reversing the route Castro took during the Cuban revolution.
They will be laid to rest on Sunday in the city's Santa Ifigenia cemetery.
In his tweet, Mr Trump said that if "Cuba is unwilling to make a better deal for the Cuban people, the Cuban/American people and the US as a whole, I will terminate deal".
Mr Trump, who takes office in January, said during the election campaign that he would reverse President Barack Obama's rapprochement with Cuba.
Under Mr Obama, diplomatic ties were restored in 2015 after being severed in 1961. Some trade restrictions have been eased and the White House has been lobbying the US Congress to terminate an economic embargo that has been in place for decades.
What does a Trump presidency mean for US-Cuba relations?
Mr Trump's team has accused the Obama administration of giving too much away to Cuba without receiving enough in return.
His communications director, Jason Miller, said Mr Trump was seeking "freedom in Cuba for the Cubans and a good deal for Americans where we aren't played for fools".
But the White House said that better ties with Cuba served US interests and that reversing the changes would deal "a significant economic blow" to the people of Cuba.
"After five decades of not seeing results, the president believed it was time to try something different," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
In a separate development the first scheduled commercial flight from the US to Havana in more than 50 years has departed from Miami.
The American Airlines (AA) flight on Monday morning was the first of a new service to the Cuban capital which will fly from Florida four times a day.
"It's a monumental day of great historic relevance with Miami being the epicentre of the Cuban-American community and American's hub for the region," AA Vice President Ralph Lopez was quoted by The Miami Herald as saying.
Several airlines began routes to other parts of Cuba earlier this year, with many more flights and destinations in the offing.

The 27-year-old was given an extended break by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger after helping his country retain the Copa America in June.
"I hope I got it right, that he had a good rest and regenerated a little bit. We will see on Sunday," Wenger said.
However, new City signing Leroy Sane will not feature in the game.
German international midfielder Sane, 19, joined City for £37m from Schalke on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Wenger believes City have appointed Guardiola to improve their record against other big teams.
City finished fourth last season but won just one of 10 matches against other teams who finished in the top six.
"If they took Guardiola, it is certainly because they are conscious of that problem," Wenger said.
Guardiola has won the Champions League twice as a manager and also claimed three Bundesliga titles in three season with Bayern Munich.
City start their Premier League campaign at home to Sunderland next Saturday, while Arsenal open their season with a home game against Liverpool next Sunday.

The 2015 Saltire Civil Engineering Awards is awarded by the Saltire Society and the Institution of Civil Engineers Scotland.
It is in recognition of excellence and innovation in civil engineering.
The £25 million redevelopment includes the refurbishment of an existing Grade A listed station building and a major extension.
The panel who awarded the 2015 Saltire civil engineering prize said the project demonstrated "excellent collaborative working on a live and complex site".
The Borders railway, Ullapool Harbour Berth improvements, Hampden Park redevelopment for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and River Ness flood alleviation were all awarded commendations.
The DCAL committee is holding another hearing as part of its inquiry into the GAA stadium project.
In April, safety expert Paul Scott said he was put under "undue pressure" to approve plans for the new stadium.
On Thursday, a Sport NI official said the department was told of concerns.
And during the session the culture committee chair Nelson McCausland said it appeared that senior figures in the department had been "asleep at the wheel" during the project process.
The suspended chief executive of Sport NI, Antoinette McKeown, made an unexpected appearance in the public gallery as her colleagues gave evidence, and later said she believed had "evidence which the CAL committee may wish to hear".
Plans to transform Casement Park into a modern 38,000-seater Gaelic games stadium were approved in December 2013.
However, in December last year a High Court judge ruled that Environment Minister Mark H Durkan had acted unlawfully in approving a new stadium.
In April, Mr Scott told the Culture, Arts and Leisure Committee that he had warned that the 38,000-capacity stadium could not be evacuated safely in certain emergencies.
Mr Scott, of the Safety Technical Group (STG), said pressure exerted upon him had been "so significant" he had no choice but to raise a complaint.
He told the committee that he had been expressing concerns about the stadium design for two years.
Among those giving evidence on Wednesday were Sport NI's Andrew Sloan and Nick Harkness.
Mr Harkness said communication between Sport NI and DCAL since March 2013 warned of a "potential for risk".
He said the documents illustrated that the "risk of potential panic or crushing and the need for the provision of additional emergency exiting" were "all communicated over a series of months and years".
He said this included the deputy and permanent secretary of the department being told.
Mr Harkness said concerns about emergency exiting were brought to the attention of officials.
"I cannot think of words that would express more seriously a concern around emergency exiting other than the words panic and crushing," he said.
Mr Harkness said at a meeting on 13 February 2014 "there was confirmation and acceptance from DCAL officials that there was an issue around emergency exiting".
"It was reassuring that the advice we had given was in fact understood," he said.
He later said that recommendations by the Safety Technical Group "in terms of measures to provide sufficient emergency exiting" were not reflected in the stadium design at the pre-planning stage.
He said this was in contrast to Windsor Park football stadium in Belfast.
David Hilditch of the DUP said the Sport NI official's testimony "goes against evidence which has been produced to date by officials".
He said the committee would have to make a few decisions as to whether they bring certain people back to answer further questions.
Mr Sloan said officials from DCAL attended early meetings of the STGs.
He said that in August 2013, the regional stadium programme architect advised that the department was "very busy and did not have the time to attend the meetings and did not require any meeting notes".
The former interim permanent secretary at DCAL also appeared before the committee on Wednesday.
Peter May, who was in the role in 2013-14, said "safety was an essential part of the programme".
He was aware more than a year ago about safety concerns, he said, but not the "showstopper" issues that Mr Scott had raised.
The issue of emergency exiting "was not seen as a potential obstacle to the achievement of the programme", he added.
Mr May denied a suggestion that there was a "tension between capacity and safety".
"You would not build a stadium that wasn't safe," he said.
Solskjaer made his name as a deadly substitute striker at Manchester United and he introduced Noone and Campbell in the second half to earn Cardiff a place in the fourth round for the first time in four seasons.
Papiss Cisse followed up Moussa Sissoko's effort to score in the 61st minute after Hatem Ben Arfa had hit the woodwork either side of half-time.
But Cardiff were transformed by their replacements as Campbell hit the post before Noone fired in from long range a minute after coming on.
And Solskjaer's former Manchester United team-mate and ex-Sunderland striker Campbell ended a four-game winless run for the Bluebirds with a header 10 minutes from time.
It is the first time that Cardiff have beaten the Magpies in the FA Cup and the result will give the club a huge boost after a difficult period following the sacking of former boss Malky Mackay on 27 December.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won the FA Cup with Manchester United in 1999 and 2004. The 40-year-old's last taste of the competition prior to this game was the 2007 FA Cup final when Chelsea beat United at Wembley.
It is too soon to say whether replacing Mackay with two-time FA Cup winner Solskjaer was the right decision by owner Vincent Tan because Cardiff, sitting just a point above the bottom three in 17th position, face a tough task to lift their Premier League relegation worries.
But there were plenty of signs in this game that he can build on a positive approach with funds promised to him by Tan in the January transfer window.
The visitors looked like they were heading for defeat before Solskjaer's substitutions as the hosts cranked up on the pressure on David Marshall's goal.
However, in front of a crowd of 31,166, Alan Pardew's much-changed team could not add to Cisse's goal and they have now lost their last three games.
Solskjaer, who was appointed on 2 January, made five changes to the side that lost to Arsenal on New Year's Day and they showed controlled possession and had several chances to take the lead early on.
However, in keeping with being the joint lowest scorers away from home in the Premier League, they failed to profit as Don Cowie, Kevin McNaughton and Kim Bo-Kyung wasted good opportunities.
Mark Hudson did find the back of the net from a corner, but his header was ruled out for pushing in the box.
Ben Arfa was one of seven Newcastle changes and his influence grew through the first half, culminating with the French winger cutting in from the right to hit a firm shot against the post from 20 yards.
When: Sunday, 5 January 2014
Where: Wembley Stadium
Time: 1400 GMT
Who: Cousins Martin and Paul Allen, who both played for West Ham, will make the draw after the Hammers face Nottingham Forest.
Fourth round dates: Ties to be played over the weekend of 25 and 26 January 2014
That sparked a better period for the hosts, as Cardiff became sloppy with their passing, and Ben Arfa again hit the woodwork early in the second half when his right-footed shot looped onto the top of the crossbar via a Marshall save.
Solskjaer attempted to wrestle control of the game by introducing Campbell.
But his side went behind within a minute as Sissoko latched onto Yoan Gouffran's through ball and although his shot was blocked, Cisse followed in for his third goal of the season.
Campbell did have an impact as he hit the post after 70 minutes, but it was eclipsed by the contribution of Noone, who collected the ball with his first touch before lashing in from 30 yards.
Campbell was not to be denied, though, as he headed in Peter Whittingham's corner 10 minutes from time.
Although Ben Arfa again went close, it was a smiling Solskjaer who celebrated with his team in front of the travelling fans at the final whistle.

"It's crazy," she sighs. "We opened this shop just a week ago and we had to do it without a single loan from a bank - no one will lend you money here after the bank crash."
Katla's clothes shop, Oxney, is a boutique in central Reykjavik and she's clearly proud of the beautiful, original collection she's created by blending Icelandic and French designs. But she's worried about the future of her business.
"We're buying in clothes from France and it costs us double now to get stuff into the country because the krona is so weak."
"We have to pass on that cost to the customer," she says quietly. "The government really has to do something about the situation with the krona - it's so hard for businesses."
Following the banking collapse of 2008, the value of Iceland's national currency plummeted by a half.
To stop it depreciating even further, the government imposed strict capital controls, restricting the flow of money in and out of the country. Even foreign currency for things like holidays abroad is now tightly rationed.
The move has certainly saved the national currency, but at what cost? The government, which promised the measures would only be temporary, still can't say when controls will be lifted.
"We're expecting 3.7% growth this year," insists Finance Minister Bjarni Benediktsson.
"All the economic indicators show we are bouncing back, slowly but surely. I honestly believe one of the lessons we have to learn from the past is that we should be happy with slow progress - we don't want to grab everything at once and have to give it all back as we had to do over the crisis year.
"We must be patient with the lifting of capital controls."
But not everyone is prepared to wait. In an internet cafe in the centre of town, computer engineering student Hilmar Jonsson is proud to pay for his surfing session with Auroracoin, the Icelandic version of the crypto currency Bitcoin.
It was launched at the beginning of this year by an unidentified person going by the name Baldur Friggjar Odinsson, with the aim of providing Icelanders with an alternative currency to the krona that is free from government and bank controls.
"At the moment, the second-hand market and things like cyber cafes are the only places that accept Auroracoin," says Hilmar. "But you know, I've managed to buy a boat with it for summer camp."
Baldur has promised that every Icelander will be given 30 Auroracoin - beginning an "air drop" or electronic distribution of the currency in March, with a second drop expected soon.
Hilmar reads out extracts from Baldur's manifesto: "Capital controls…mean the Iceland economy is slowly bleeding. The people of Iceland are being sacrificed at the altar of a flawed financial system… Auroracoin will be free from the meddling of the politicians and their cronies. The power must be taken back from the politicians and given back to the people."
Hilmar is confident that the principle behind the Auroracoin will keep the crypto currency buoyant.
"The banks lost the trust of the Icelandic people - and this means that we lost faith in the krona," he explains.
"So why not have an alternative that is not controlled by the government - it might be better than the krona. Aurorocoin hasn't got the flow the currency needs yet but I think it has the potential."
When the banks crashed, disposable income here fell by a quarter and 20,000 jobs were lost - a sizeable number in a country of only 320,000 people.
In Iceland, if you want to take the temperature of any situation, you head for the local swimming baths and hot tubs. Here, Jon, Svanna and Thor sink into the water, cowering from the wintry breeze swirling round their heads.
Svanna laughs at the notion that she is benefitting from an economic recovery.
"Recovery? We're broke! I don't buy anything except the essentials anymore and all holidays are inside Iceland - the krona doesn't travel!"
Jon agrees. "The krona sucks, ok? Give us the euro - or maybe the Canadian dollar, but the krona - it just does not work."
So should Iceland ditch its pride and call time on the national currency? That, says Mr Benediktsson, is simply out of the question.
"The krona is a viable solution for the future," he says, thumping his desk.
"Grabbing another currency to solve disciplinary problems is not a solution. I don't like the idea of importing discipline through a hard currency. I'd like to see Icelanders show discipline in running their own economy and that will benefit us greatly and stabilise the krona."
But the government does acknowledge that currency controls are hitting investment and spending power.
In a bid to encourage Icelanders to spend rather than save, it has just launched a mortgage debt relief scheme, financed largely through tax hikes on financial institutions and worth more than a billion dollars. The aim is to free up households from crippling repayment loans.
The obvious solution is to join the euro - after all, Iceland has pretty much been on a fast track scheme to join the European Union since 2009. But, following the government's and the Icelandic peoples' decision not to repay overseas investors who lost out in the banking crisis, a poisonous European diplomatic row ensued and the mood towards Brussels hardened.
Last year, the Icelandic coalition government announced it was halting EU accession talks. By default, it also renounced Iceland's claim on Euro membership.
Back in her shop in central Reykjavik, Katla stands at her cash register and raises her eyes to the heavens.
"This cannot go on," she warns. "The government has to do something about the krona - and quickly."

The Belgian-based company, which makes Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois, is in the process of taking over rival brewer SABMiller, with the deal due to be completed by the end of 2016.
AB InBev's profit figure was slightly below analysts' expectations.
The company's sales volumes fell in the US and Brazil last year, and it has also been hit by the slowdown in China.
AB InBev gave no further details of its planned takeover of SABMIller, but said it continued to "expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2016", subject to clearance by regulators and approval from shareholders.
The newly-created firm will produce about 30% of the world's beer and the two firms are predicting cost savings of at least $1.4bn a year once the merger is completed.
The companies have already agreed asset sales to in an effort to clear the way for the takeover to be approved.
SABMiller has agreed to sell its 58% stake in US joint venture MillerCoors to its main partner in the business, Molson Coors, for $12bn.
Earlier this month, SABMIller also agreed to sell its Peroni and Grolsch brands to Japanese brewer Asahi.

It will be the neighbours' second match of the tournament with Wales facing Slovakia and England taking on Russia on Saturday.
The two home nations meet in Lens on Thursday, 16 June.
"I think we've got a lot more passion and pride about us than them. We'll definitely show that on the day," said the Real Madrid forward.
Wales' first major tournament for 58 years begins in Bordeaux on Saturday against the first of their Group B rivals.
But Bale already has his sights on England.
"They big themselves up before they've done anything, so we're going to go there and we believe we can beat them," said Bale.

"For me it is probably the stand-out game in the group stages, but there is no pressure on us because they believe they can beat us.
"I had a chuckle when England came out, I'm not going to lie.
"It's an amazing game to be involved in and it's like any derby - you never want to lose to the enemy.
"Even in the recent [rugby] World Cup when we won - I remember those. England don't get that, do they?"
Bale's English grandmother meant he was qualified to play for the Three Lions, but he did not pursue that option.
The Cardiff-born player said: "I don't know what it is, but if you're Welsh, we feel more pride and passion than anyone else.
"Look at the national anthem - everyone sings, the whole stadium. I remember the Belgium game, we were all tired, and the whole stadium just started singing it.
"I don't think any other nation would do that. Being Welsh just brings it out of you.
"It's like when I was young and being in a pub with my parents, everyone watching rugby or football on the television. Everyone was together, singing. It's the way we are brought up."
Bale says the death of Gary Speed, manager Chris Coleman's predecessor, as well as 58 years without appearing at a tournament has left him and his team-mates more appreciative of international football.
"What happened made us come together, stronger," said Bale.
"We've had to go deep to bring our emotions out, bring it on to the field.

"In this campaign you've seen it. After every game we are all in huddles.
"We've been through so much to be here now, and it's definitely a shame that we've had so many great players - Ryan Giggs being one of them - who never experienced a major tournament.
"I think we appreciate it more than other countries - and we just have to give it a go."
Bale became the youngest Wales goalscorer in October 2006 when he netted in their 5-1 defeat by Slovakia, aged 17 years and 83 days.
"There was difficult times for a while, but we were all young and building for the future," said Bale.
"We've had a style of play which has taken time to embed.
"I don't think we stopped believing, but we had to get more experience, grow together."

David Lloyd, from Llangurig, was killed in the collision on the A470 Llanidloes bypass on Tuesday.
His family said: "David was the much-loved son of Roy and Angela, adored brother of Sophie and Gwynie and loving grandson to Gladys and Gwyn Perks.
"He will be sorely missed by all who knew him."
Mr Lloyd attended Coleg Powys and worked at Randall Parker Foods, Llandinam, as an apprentice electrical installer.
His family said he was "a keen snooker and pool player" and "enjoyed spending time with his friends".
Stewart and Kevin Ward Jr, 20, had collided on the previous lap of the dirt track race on Saturday.
Ward climbed out of his car on to the track and was gesturing at Stewart in his passing car when he was struck.
"There aren't words to describe the sadness I feel about the accident," said fellow American Stewart, 43.
"It's a very emotional time for all involved. My thoughts and prayers are with Kevin's family, friends and everyone affected by this tragedy," his statement continued.
Stewart is the co-owner of Nascar team Stewart-Haas Racing, having become driver-owner in 2008.
His most recent Nascar crown came in 2011, and he was number 83 on the Forbes list of highest paid athletes in 2013.
Stewart cancelled plans to compete in Sunday's Nascar Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen.
"We were talking through the night, and we gave Tony some time to sleep on it," said team manager Greg Zipadelli.
"He feels strongly that this is the right thing to do. We at Stewart-Haas Racing strongly support it and agree with it."
Stewart, who frequently competes at local sprint car events, was questioned by police and released.
Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said Stewart was "fully co-operative" and appeared "very upset".
He added: "This is being investigated as an on-track crash and I don't want to infer that there are criminal charges pending.
"When the investigation is completed, we will sit down with the district attorney and review it.
"But I want to make it very clear - there are no criminal charges pending at this time."
Povero asked people who have video of the crash to provide copies for investigators to review.
Stewart-Haas Racing said in a statement: "A tragic accident took place last night during a sprint car race in which Tony Stewart was participating.
"Tony was unhurt, but a fellow competitor lost his life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
"We're still attempting to sort through all the details and we appreciate your understanding during this difficult time."
The track, which hosted the local dirt-track event at Canandaigua Motorsports Park, located 30 miles south-east of Rochester in upstate New York, cancelled the remainder of the race within five minutes of the incident.
After a season in which the 22-year-old triumphed at the Masters and US Open, he has inevitably been bracketed with four-time major champion Rory McIlroy and US PGA winner Jason Day in the vanguard of the game.
They are the top three players in the world with current number one Day the oldest at the tender age of 27.
"I think it's a bit soon," Spieth told BBC Sport when asked if he along with Day and McIlroy were filling the vacuum left by the ailing Woods.
"I think for Rory it's a bit different because he's been consistent for a number of years now.
"We've played solid golf for the past few years but in order to create an era you almost need a decade like this to really make a difference.
"We have the potential to do it, but this was the first year of it," added Spieth, who won five times in the 2015 PGA Tour season.
The Texan believes an enduring rivalry with Day, also a five-time winner, and 26-year-old Northern Irishman McIlroy, who led the rankings at the start of a season blighted by his July ankle injury, depends on many influences.
"We are aware of it and it drives us but there's a lot of factors needed in order to create it," Spieth said.
"It may be a bit premature to say it now but I do believe there was a step needed in the right direction and it took place this year.
"And if we can ride with that it'll be significant."
Spieth begins his 2016 PGA Tour season at this week's HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai. He is returning after a three-week break following the US Presidents Cup victory in Korea.
Behind only Day in the world rankings, he did not touch a club for a fortnight before this year-ending spell in which he will play a trio of tournaments.
"My energy level is high," Spieth said. "I was able to get some rest and then over the past couple of weeks get in to the gym, trying to put weight back on and get ready for three events in what I consider my off-season."
After competing in China he will return home to the United States before defending his titles at the Australian Open and the World Challenge in the Bahamas next month.
Spieth's victories in those tournaments last year laid the foundations for his stellar performances in 2015. He said: "The off-season last year was arguably the most important couple of months in my career.
"I learned how to win and how to really close events out. How to get yourself in contention and then have the patience to be able to pull it out."
It was during the United States's victory over the Internationals at the Presidents Cup last month that he finally took stock of his level of achievement in 2015. "It's tough for me to wrap my head around what was obviously a season unlike any I've ever had," Spieth said.
"It's still so early in my career it's hard for me to compare to others. But what an exciting year it was for golf, I mean with so many young players, for golf, playing so well.
"If Rory was healthy for the whole year he would have made a bigger impact than he was able to make in a shorter season.
"And then with what Rickie Fowler did this season, breaking through with three wins and Jason and myself it was exciting.
"It was really cool," he added. "I can look back on my year but, at the same time, if I look at these other guys, who want to win just as bad as I do, it drives me a bit more."
There is every reason to suggest Spieth's career will go from strength to strength. For one so young it is also abundantly clear he possesses an extraordinary sense of perspective.
He is an accomplished ambassador, keen to say the right things and gain more than trophies from his global travels.
"It's time to travel overseas and see the impact you have and how you can grow golf around the world," he said.
"It's really special coming to China and seeing a lot of junior golfers out and about. Any impact you can have to grow the game, that's ultimately what we are all really here for.
"We obviously want to play for our own accolades but when the sun sets on your career you want to have influenced people in the right way and this is part of it."
It is too early to talk about this being a new era for the game, but if Spieth progresses in the same vein, along with McIlroy and Day, the game is in safe hands.
It brought together a cast of characters, the like of which had not been seen since the days of Britain's imperial glory.
Yet for all its splendour and pageantry, the coronation of a British monarch is really a rather curious event.
Strictly speaking it has no legal or constitutional significance. A king or queen is a fully-empowered sovereign from the moment of his or her predecessor's death.
But it can, and usually does, have a deep spiritual significance to the person being crowned.
Remember, a British head of state is not "sworn-in" by a senior judge or - perish the thought - by some superannuated politician.
The people who have always presided at the Coronation are religious figures, the most senior clergymen - and they are still men - from the Church of England.
Above all, the Coronation is a religious event - a service which represents the consecration of the king or queen to a lifetime of service to his or her people.
That was its overwhelming significance to the young Elizabeth when, on 2 June 1953 she stood within the ancient walls of Westminster Abbey, where kings and queens have been crowned for nearly a thousand years, to be anointed with holy oil and pledge herself in the face of God to fulfil the role to which the hereditary vagaries of the British monarchy had drawn her.
Guided by the Archbishop of Canterbury, she swore her Coronation oath. It is the only oath that a British head of state enters into.
That and, above all, the sacred nature of the entire event is the principal reason why Queen Elizabeth II will never abdicate. She believes deeply that the events of that coronation day set her apart and that hers is a duty from which only death can release her.
Sixty years on from the Coronation, the idea of a "sacred duty" which lasts a lifetime may seem to some, perhaps even to many, to be something of an anachronism. The coronation service may sound like some ancient tribal ritual and, in many senses of course, that is precisely what it is.
It is entirely symbolic, but it is a powerful, sacred symbolism which mattered deeply then - and continues to matter deeply now - to the woman who occupies the British throne.
Ten years ago, at the service marking the 50th anniversary of her coronation, it is said that someone from Westminster Abbey suggested to the Queen that she might like to retake her Coronation vows.
The Queen, it is said, was having none of it. Those vows were very personal. They were taken once. They would last a lifetime. They were not the sort of thing to be reprised. The idea was dropped.
In matters such as these the Queen has an unashamedly traditional perspective. Her coronation service contained many elements which would have changed little since the first coronation that took place in an abbey church by the river Thames at Westminster.
That was on Christmas Day 1066, when William the Conqueror was crowned.
But that is not to say that the form of the Coronation service will not change in the future. It hardly needs to be said that the United Kingdom of 2013 is a very different nation to that of 1953.
Discussions have already taken place, very discreetly, about how the next Coronation should look and sound. The views of both the Church of England and the man who would expect to be the central character in that service, Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, have been canvassed.
The Church of England is anxious to protect its position as the country's "established Church", a position which carries with it the responsibility of both constructing and conducting the Coronation service.
Nonetheless, there would appear to be a recognition that the Church of England cannot now alone represent the different Churches - to say nothing of the different faiths - of the United Kingdom and the other nations of which the British monarch is also head of state.
In 1953 the Coronation was an almost exclusively Church of England production.
Just one other Church, the Church of Scotland, was permitted to have one representative at the service who presented the Queen with a Bible. Sixty years later it is accepted that the Church of England will have to be very much more hospitable.
That means that the next Coronation, whenever it comes, will need better to reflect the spiritual diversity of today's Britain. It will still be a Christian service conducted by the Church of England's most senior churchmen - or might even, conceivably, by then include a churchwoman.
A Coronation is essentially a moment of profound symbolism. It is the joining of the monarch in service to his or her people.
And so the next time an Archbishop of Canterbury lowers St Edward's Crown onto the head of a British monarch, we can expect representatives of those people, in all their diversity, to be in much closer and more visible attendance.
The Wire have lost all five of their matches this campaign and are bottom.
They reached a third Grand Final in five years last season, and Robinson believes they will improve.
"They are under the pump, but they have got a great system and some great players and it's only a matter of time before they turn it around," he said.
Warrington were beaten 22-8 by newly-promoted Leigh on Thursday to make it five successive defeats - just three fewer than they suffered in their 30 Super League matches in 2016.
But ex-Wigan and Great Britain winger Robinson, who played in Super League's first Grand Final in 1998, thinks Warrington can use their current situation to their advantage.
The 42-year-old told BBC Radio Manchester: "Sometimes you need that as a team - you need to go through a few harder times to bring everybody together, to make them realise 'we're good players, but we've got to be performing.'
"Yes, they will be disappointed that they are bottom of the league, but it's only a matter of time. It just shows the competitiveness of Super League this year."
"I'll do anything I can if Hillary's elected to help her, but I don't want to remain in the administration," he told a Minnesota TV station.
Politico reported Mr Biden was "at the top of the internal short list" should the Clinton team win the White House.
With 11 days to go, she leads Republican Donald Trump in the polls.
Mr Biden told KBJR that Mrs Clinton had not approached him about a potential role in any administration she may lead.
"I have no intention of staying involved. I have a lot of things to do, but I'll help her if I can in any way I can," he said.
Mr Biden, 73, was a senator for 36 years and chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
He has the foreign affairs pedigree for secretary of state, which is America's top diplomat, despite a reputation for being gaffe-prone.
Mr Biden pondered a run at the presidency himself last year but said the recent death of his son Beau meant he would not have been able to focus fully on a campaign.
The BBC's Anthony Zucker in Washington says that it would be unusual for a vice-president to hop down a rung in the ladder to secretary of state, and Mr Biden may follow through on his promise to fade from the stage, perhaps to write a book.
Recently he has been very critical of Mr Trump for being too close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He also said he wished he was still at high school so he could take the billionaire "behind the gym" to fight him.
The vice-president has a close relationship with the president despite raising eyebrows early on by referring to the then-Senator Obama as "the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean".
In the summer, he went to Latvia and assured the Baltic states that the US would defend Nato countries against possible Russian aggression.

This US-trained economist beat the incumbent Abdirahman Muhammad Mahmud "Farole" by one vote in parliament to become the president of the Puntland autonomous region in January 2014.
Mr Gas, who was born in north-central Somalia in 1965 and holds US and Somali joint citizenship, served as prime minister of Somalia in 2011-2012, and oversaw steady progress to drive back the Al-Shabab Islamist militia and to strengthen the central government's remit.
He stood unsuccessfully for the presidency of Somalia in 2012.
In 2013 be began canvassing Puntland opposition groups, and secured their support for his successful bid for the region's presidency on a platform of cooperation with the central government and a greater emphasis on boosting education and welfare.
Mr Gas's predecessor, Mr Farole, had presided over a dramatic decline in piracy during his five-year term, although this was largely achieved by firmer international policing of Somali waters rather than any initiative by Puntland itself.
Puntland is governed by a 66-member House of Representatives and a traditional council of elders.
The territory's first leader, Colonel Abdullahi Yusuf, served a three-year term until 2001, when his attempt to extend his mandate triggered fierce fighting.
Col Yusuf reclaimed the leadership in 2002 and led Puntland until his election as Somalia's transitional president in October 2004. He was known for his authoritarian approach.
His successor, Mohamed Adde Muse, launched an ambitious programme of economic development with loans from the United Arab Emirates, but was defeated by Mr Farole in elections in 2009, setting a precedent for the smooth transfer of power in 2014.
After nearly 12 hours of debate, senators gave the government-sponsored bill their historic final approval.
The law allowing registered Uruguayans over 18 to buy up to 40g (1,4oz) of the drug a month is not expected to come into force before April.
The government hopes it will help tackle drug cartels, but critics say it will expose more people to drugs.
By Ignacio de los ReyesBBC Mundo, Montevideo
This was a huge victory for the cannabis-smoking community in Uruguay.
Hundreds of young people gathered outside Congress in Montevideo to follow the vote on a giant screen. Many shared a joint of marijuana with their friends. They partied amid reggae music and some waved marijuana leaves.
There was an atmosphere of celebration inside the Senate too, with dozens of supporters of President Mujica following the nearly 14 hours of the debate from the spectators' gallery.
But not everyone was happy about this law. Senator Pedro Bordaberry of the conservative Red Party told the BBC his country should not become a "guinea pig for Mr Mujica's experiment".
He said: "We used to be known for our excellent meat and football, now the world is watching us because of our marijuana."
Dozens of supporters of the bill proposed by the left-wing President Jose Mujica gathered outside the Congress in Montevideo to follow the vote.
Presenting the bill to fellow senators, Roberto Conde said it was an unavoidable response to reality, given that the "war" against drugs had failed.
"We have the duty as the state to give a specific answer to an open territory, small and non-producing," Mr Conde said, adding that Uruguay's borders were used by cartels to smuggle drugs into neighbouring countries.
But many senators also spoke out against the bill, before it was passed by 16 votes to 13 on Tuesday.
The opposition member Alfredo Solari said Uruguay should not "experiment" on its people.
"This project envisages a social engineering experiment and respects none of the ethic safeguards of experimentation on human beings, and these are important in the case of a substance like marijuana, which causes damage to human beings," Senator Solari told Reuters news agency.
The project had already been approved by Uruguay's lower house in July.
It had also drawn international criticism. The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) warned the law would "be in complete contravention to the provisions of the international drug treaties to which Uruguay is party".
The INCB is an independent body of experts established by the United Nations to monitor countries' compliance with international drug treaties.
The historic approval comes amid growing debate over drug legalisation in Latin America.
A group of former presidents and influential social figures, including Brazil's Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Mexico's Ernesto Zedillo and Colombian ex-leader Cesar Gaviria, have called for marijuana to be legalised and regulated.
But President Mujica recently asked during an interview why the former leaders only spoke out about the legalisation of marijuana after they had left office.
In July, without naming Uruguay directly, Pope Francis criticised drug legalisation plans during a visit to Brazil.
Edward Snowden had fled from the United States to Hong Kong after leaking secret documents revealing extensive US internet and phone surveillance.
On Sunday, he left Hong Kong for Moscow, from where he is reportedly going to make his way to Cuba, and on to Ecuador, where he is expected to formally hand in his request for asylum.
Ecuador, which has been sheltering Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in its London embassy for the past year, was always going to be a likely destination for Mr Snowden.
While the Andean country has an extradition treaty with the United States, it allows for exemptions for "political asylum".
When Ecuador granted Mr Assange asylum, it argued that his human rights would be at risk if he were extradited to Sweden.
Sweden wants him to face sexual assault charges, which he denies. Mr Assange fears he could be sent from there to face justice in the US for publishing thousands of secret documents.
Ecuador says it is being loyal to its tradition of protecting those who are vulnerable.
Only last week, Mr Patino reiterated Ecuador's commitment to "protecting" Mr Assange.
"The Ecuadorean government maintains that the reasons for which Ecuador granted asylum are still relevant, and therefore there is going to be no change in his circumstances," Mr Patino said on the anniversary of Mr Assange's arrival at the Ecuadorean embassy.
Wikileaks has said it is helping Mr Snowden with his asylum bid in Ecuador, where he is heading "via a safe route".
Ecuador's relations with Wikileaks did not originally get off to a good start.
In December 2010, Ecuador's President Rafael Correa said Wikileaks had "committed an error by breaking the laws of the United States and leaking this type of information".
The president also revoked an invitation extended by his deputy foreign minister to Mr Assange to "live and lecture in Ecuador".
But in May 2012, the two men seemed to bond when Mr Assange interviewed President Correa on his programme on Russian state channel Russia Today.
President Correa welcomed Mr Assange to "the club of the persecuted" in a reference to what the Ecuadorean leader said were attempts by "corrupt media to depose" him.
Mr Correa has had strained relations with the media since first coming to office in 2007, when the left-wing president accused the major newspapers of targeting him and boycotting his reform proposals.
He described Ecuador's media as his "greatest enemy" and made the introduction of a new media law limiting the number of private broadcasters one of his main policies.
His opponents have argued that the president's decision to grant Mr Assange asylum was aimed at deflecting criticism about the media law.
By allying himself with the anti-secrecy campaigner, President Correa was trying to silence those condemning his record on freedom of expression at home, the argument went.
But there was also no shortage of people, both in Ecuador and abroad, who praised his "valour" for standing up to the United States.
So far, there has been no indication whether Ecuador will grant Edward Snowden asylum.
Foreign Minister Patino said Ecuador would "study thoroughly" Mr Snowden's application.
Profile: Edward Snowden
And if Mr Assange's case is anything to go by, that could take some time.
Even though Mr Assange's move to the Ecuadorean embassy had reportedly been in the works for months before he crossed the building's threshold, Ecuador took eight weeks to officially grant him asylum.
And a decision to give Mr Snowden asylum would not escape criticism in Ecuador.
Leading conservative newspaper El Universo quoted financial analyst Ramiro Crespo on Monday as warning that a decision in favour of Mr Snowden could endanger the renewal by the US of a trade act exempting more than 5,000 Ecuadorean products from import duty.
And with Mr Snowden's asylum request coming less than 10 days after President Correa's controversial media law was passed by the National Assembly, there will be no shortage of critics saying that opening the doors to Mr Snowden is just a way to drown out those accusing the government of "assaulting free speech".
"A true friend is he who comes to your aid when all others leave," tweeted Mr Patino after receiving Mr Snowden's asylum request.
The question now is which "friend" will be more important to Ecuador, the United States or Mr Snowden.
The club's 1927 victory against Arsenal marked the only time England's showpiece football trophy has been out of the country.
A family day at the Cardiff Story museum on The Hayes will celebrate the achievement.

The singer and radio presenter recorded the clips for the city's Supertram network as part of BBC Music Day.
Instagram said the video had "violated the requirement to respect other members" of the social network.
In a new Instagram post Mr Kadyrov said he had been punished for saying "a few words about the USA's guard dogs".
His video showed former Russian PM Mikhail Kasyanov as a sniper's target.
Mr Kasyanov is a high-profile critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, in the opposition RPR-Parnas party.

Ramzan Kadyrov: Putin's key Chechen ally
The Chechen leader has recently called Mr Putin's critics "enemies" and "traitors".
In his latest post on Instagram, Mr Kadyrov said: "Here it is, the much-acclaimed freedom of speech, American style!
"You can write anything you want, but do not touch America's dogs, friends of the Department of State and Congress. You know very well whom I am talking about!"
Mr Kasyanov and other Russian opposition politicians described the sniper video as a murder threat.
Last March Mr Kadyrov spoke out on Instagram about the assassination of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov in Moscow, defending one of the Chechens charged over the shooting.
A day later President Putin gave Mr Kadyrov a top award.
Mr Nemtsov is among several well-known opponents of Mr Putin who have been murdered in the past decade.
Mr Kadyrov runs Chechnya with an iron fist - his private militia has been accused of widespread human rights abuses, including torture and assassination.
He has close ties to Mr Putin, who encouraged him to stamp out a separatist insurgency in Chechnya.

Oracle had argued that Google had infringed its copyright and had sought nearly $9bn (£6bn) in damages.
The outcome was eagerly awaited by software developers who feared that a victory for Oracle might encourage more such legal actions.
The company says it will appeal against the decision.
Google uses Java in its Android smartphone operating system which powers about 80% of the world's mobile devices.
The company had argued that extending copyright protection to pieces of code called APIs (application programming interfaces) would threaten innovation.
The jury in San Francisco agreed that copyright law allowed "fair use" of the Java elements as they were only a part of a larger system Google had created for a new purpose.
"Today's verdict that Android makes fair use of Java APIs represents a win for the Android ecosystem, for the Java programming community, and for software developers who rely on open and free programming languages to build innovative consumer products," a Google spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
The legal battle began in 2010 and the two firms first faced each other in court in May 2012. A federal judge ruled against Oracle, but the company then appealed. After legal wrangling, the case was sent back to court.
Despite Thursday's outcome, Oracle lawyer Dorian Daley said it would pursue the matter further.
"We strongly believe that Google developed Android by illegally copying core Java technology to rush into the mobile device market," he said.
"Oracle brought this lawsuit to put a stop to Google's illegal behaviour. We believe there are numerous grounds for appeal and we plan to bring this case back to the federal circuit on appeal."
Sehgal had been ill for several days and suffered a heart attack at a city hospital on Thursday evening.
In a career spanning more than seven decades, Sehgal entertained millions of people through her performances in films and on stage.
She began her career with well-known dancer Uday Shankar in 1935 and later performed in the theatre.
Her roles in Bollywood films like Cheeni Kum received extensive praise.
The feisty actress was awarded the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian award, in 2010 for her work.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi led tributes to the actress on Twitter.
"Zohra Sehgal made a mark through her acting, which is admired across generations. Saddened on her demise," he wrote.
Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan tweeted: "What a journey and what an immensely loveable co-star! Prayers for her blessed soul!!"
At 94, Sehgal played Bachchan's mother in hit Hindi film, Cheeni Kum, and critics said the chemistry between the two worked very well.
"A journey of million miles overloaded with smiles. Even at a 100 plus I have yet to meet a naughtier young girl…..will miss you Zohra…" tweeted Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan.
Actress Priyanka Chopra tweeted: "102 and a legacy that will always be a part of Indian cinema. It was an honour to know #ZohraSehgal and to b a part of films while she was. RIP".
Historian Irfan Habib said Sehgal was a "woman who lived a full life on her own terms...[her passing] is a great loss to art and culture".
Sehgal was born in 1912 in the town of Saharanpur in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
She stepped into the world of acting by joining left-wing political theatre group Indian Peoples' Theatre Association (IPTA), which dominated the Indian cultural scene in the 1940s.
She was associated with the doyen of Indian theatre, Prithviraj Kapoor, for more than a decade.
In 1962, Sehgal went to London on a drama scholarship and worked in several English films and popular television productions like My Beautiful Launderette, Tandoori Nights and The Jewel in the Crown.
Sehgal returned to India in the 1990s at the age of 80 and continued acting until the age of 95.
Her most popular Hindi films included Dil Se (From the Heart) and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (I Have Given My Heart, Darling).
The barrister said draft reforms to the UK's EU membership might "do the job politically" but would do little to curb the "muscle-flexing" of EU Courts.
Without action, a "new generation of EU rights would bed down", she argued
Mr Johnson is under pressure to say whether he will back EU exit or not.
The Mayor of London and Conservative MP has said he will wait until the final text of the proposed changes to the UK's membership, brokered by European Council president Donald Tusk, is agreed before deciding which way to campaign in a future referendum.
He has said David Cameron is making the "best of a bad job" in his negotiations and pressed the prime minister to set out how any agreement will re-assert the UK's national sovereignty and guarantee the primacy of Parliament and British courts, amid speculation a law could be passed to put this beyond doubt.
In an article for a human rights blog, Ms Wheeler - who recently became a QC - said the draft package of reforms negotiated by Mr Cameron, including enhanced powers for national Parliaments to group together to block EU legislation, "raised more questions than they answered".
"The reach of the Court of Justice of the European Union has extended to the point where the status quo is untenable," she wrote.
"Aside from eroding national sovereignty, which it does, the current situation also undermines legal certainty, which in turn undermines good governance. To limit the still-growing reach of EU law, it is not enough to use "red cards" to stem the flow of EU legislation.
"Reform is needed to address the EU legal order, in particular the jurisdictional muscle-flexing of the Court in Luxembourg. The Tusk proposals do not do this. In fact they duck the issue entirely, leaving the way clear for a whole new generation of EU right to bed down."
A string of recent legal rulings, she argued, demonstrated that the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which was given legal force by the 2007 EU Lisbon Treaty was being used to "fashion new rights" rather than merely reaffirm those enshrined in the European Conventions of Human Rights.
She said an opt-out negotiated by the last Labour government, designed to ensure the Charter was not directly enforceable in the UK, was now "effectively dead" and it might not now be "practicable or legally coherent" for the UK to try and revive it.
Instead, given the concerns of certain other member states about the territorial reach of European courts, she said there was an opportunity for the UK to press for the EU's entire legal architecture to be reviewed.
"We should state our position afresh," she wrote. "The Charter either is, or should be, a set of principles that may guide the enactment of new EU legislation...but does not create any new rights directly enforceable by the courts in the member states or EU.
"Here is a chance to restore a measure of constitutional coherence, let us not pass it by."
The European Court of Justice was set up in the 1950s to ensure EU law is interpreted and applied evenly in every EU country but many Tory MPs believe it has extended its jurisdiction into areas which should be the preserve of national law and its judicial powers should be rolled back.
But, speaking on Tuesday, former attorney general Dominic Grieve said the Luxembourg court had primacy in this area and it was "difficult to see how any piece of legislation can alter that without us being in breach of the treaties".
"The treaty of accession, and our own legislation, makes quite clear that it is the Court in Luxembourg which has the last word," he said.
The 101 non-emergency number was introduced to free-up calls to 999.
Internal Devon and Cornwall Police emails reveal its officers used the system to request contact numbers. Staff have since been taken off patrol to deal with the call centre backlog.
A force spokesman said "the process has ceased".
The internal messages urging staff not to abuse the system were disclosed to the BBC in a Freedom of Information request to all police forces in England.
It revealed Derbyshire Constabulary also warned its officers not to abuse the 101 facility.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the 101 number is barred from all police landlines, mobile phones and airwave terminals.
However, staff are still able to access the 101 service through their private mobile phones and landlines, "which has been actively discouraged", the force said.
Devon and Cornwall's former police and crime commissioner, Tony Hogg, said earlier this year the 101 service was not fit for purpose.
"At a time when we have been reducing some face-to-face contact though the closure of public enquiries offices, it is vital that our phone contact system is fit for purpose - it is not," he said.
"There is a lack of police management focus in this area and that needs to change."
A Devon and Cornwall Police spokeswoman said: "An internal message went out eight months ago asking officers not to contact 101 for administrative tasks, this process has ceased."
Rob McMahon, a taxi driver from Kingsbridge, Devon, said he called 101 to report a drunk driver last year but had to wait 40 minutes to get through.
"By the time I got through he had gone home. It's put me off calling 101. Lately I had cause to dial 101, but I emailed because I didn't want to be hanging on the line for so long."
Since 2014, Devon and Cornwall Police has encouraged the public to use email or an online form to report crimes, in order to cut delays to the 101 number.
A spokeswoman for Derbyshire Constabulary said its first internal message was issued because "officers and staff were calling 101 rather than using our online telephone directory".
"The workforce responded positively to that message. The number of this type of call has fallen dramatically as a result," she said.
"The second message was issued when there were problems with 101 that reduced the number of lines carrying the calls. This was a temporary problem but to alleviate the pressure on call handlers the message was issued to officers and staff.
"The recent introduction of mobile data equipment will reduce the calls from officers to 101 even further."
Calum Macleod, vice-chair of the Police Federation, said: "We would expect all police officers and staff to use the 101 phone line appropriate and responsibly, and in line with any local procedures that are in place."

You can watch our report here but be warned, it is very upsetting.
Until last week Langtang village was one of the most popular trekking destinations in Nepal. It was home to 435 people and 55 hotels and guest houses.
Now just one house remains.
The earthquake triggered a catastrophic avalanche and landslide that submerged the village under a great plume of ice and rock.
Satellite images taken five days after the earthquake show the entire hillside collapsed more than 700 metres (2,300ft) down onto the village.
In Kathmandu a friend and colleague who works for the BBC Nepali Service, Surendra Phuyal, showed me a picture he'd taken when he was trekking in Langtang in September.
Comparing his picture to our helicopter images of the area now, the epic scale of the landslide became apparent.
One villager said he thought it was at least 100m (350ft) deep. But it is only on the ground that the loss becomes viscerally real.
There were 52 bodies laid out under ragged plastic sheets and tarpaulins when I was there.
I am an emotional man and I'll admit I struggled to contain the sense of horror I felt. At least one villager has lost every single member of his near family.
According to the villagers, 178 local people died.
No one knows how many foreign tourists have lost their lives.
It was almost lunchtime when the quake struck and trekkers would have been arriving at the tea houses and restaurants in the village.
One of the Nepalese officers helping the villagers recover bodies from the area said the working estimate was that as many as 150 trekkers could have died in the disaster.
At least one British man is known to be missing, 23-year-old Mathew Carapiet, but the British government believes there may be more.
Langtang has been the focus of a massive airlift, with more than 200 people brought out of the area in helicopters.
There is a very vivid account of the tragedy here.
The villagers who are still there do have food and shelter but they want to bury their dead. They say they want help to bring the bodies up from Langtang village to a site at the top of the valley.
They say they need a grand lama to perform the service. Meanwhile they continue to dig in the devastation for the dead.
While we were there they brought out another victim, a young female tourist.
The rescue teams say it could be weeks before they recover all the bodies.

The 36-year-old was attacked outside a shop in Parsloes Avenue, Dagenham at 19:50 BST on Thursday.
Police said he suffered "life-changing injuries", including one knife wound "running practically from ear to ear".
He was taken to hospital where he is in a critical but stable condition. Police are appealing for witnesses.
Police said the injured man was thought to have been in a disagreement with another man in a takeaway shop before the attack.
Det Con Nicola Dunn said: "This is a horrific attack which has resulted in the victim receiving life-changing injuries.
"He has a three-inch slash wound to his neck, a large deep knife wound to his left cheek running practically from ear to ear and a puncture wound to the right chest just below the shoulder. "
The suspect, who left before police arrived at the scene, is described as black, aged about 30, 5ft 10in tall wearing a grey t-shirt, blue jeans and white trainers, police said.
The baby was discovered in Horden, near Peterlee, in May.
Leigh-Anne Varley, pleaded guilty last month to having wilfully ill-treated, neglected, abandoned or exposed a child in a manner to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health.
The 36-year-old, from Horden, was handed a 14-week sentence, suspended for 12 months.
Peterlee Magistrates' Court was told the baby was less than 12-hours old when he was found by a dog walker.
He was fit and well and there was a note with him saying "please look after my baby boy".
The 700-page report also blames the press for "exaggerated reports that fuelled violence" in Muzaffarnagar.
However, it absolves the state government and other politicians for the riots which left 62 people dead.
The clashes began when three men were killed for protesting against the alleged harassment of a local woman.
Later, the circulation of a fake video showing two men being lynched led to more violence, which spread to neighbouring villages in the district.
Indian army soldiers were deployed to contain violence and curfew was imposed in several villages.
Thousands of people fled their homes and took shelter in relief camps after riots that were described as the worst in India in a decade.
The one-man inquiry panel - Justice Vishnu Sahai Commission - tabled the inquiry report in the Uttar Pradesh state assembly on Sunday.
The report also absolved some politicians who were accused of making provocative speeches during the clashes.
Kent Police said traffic was back at normal levels, after drivers had queued for up to 14 hours because of extra French security checks at the port.
The Port of Dover said there were no longer queues at the port but advised allowing plenty of time for travel.
Motorists have been told to check with travel operators before making trips and to bring extra food and water.
Latest information from BBC Travel
Motorists queue for up to 14 hours in Dover traffic chaos
Police said the weekend's disruption was caused by the large volume of holiday traffic and increased checks at the border following recent terror attacks in France.
The Port of Dover authority said the French border control booths in Dover were "seriously understaffed" on Friday night, when problems began.
Kent County Council said at one stage only one French officer was available to check passengers on hundreds of coaches, resulting in each coach taking 40 minutes to process.
The delays persisted into Sunday as more travellers continued to head for Dover while the port was still dealing with Saturday's backlog.
UK officials were sent to help at French border posts overnight on Saturday, in response to what the Home Office said was "extraordinary disruption". While they were not able to conduct passport checks, they were able to help French officials searching vehicles.
The UK officials remain on standby to help.
The London-bound carriageway of the A20 was closed for hours to enable Kent Police, coastguards and volunteers to distribute water to those stuck in the Dover-bound queues, and to allow stranded motorists access toilet facilities. It has since been fully re-opened.
But Kent Police said large volumes of holiday traffic and extra border checks by French authorities meant there could be delays for weeks.
With vehicles backed up on roads for a second day, many were forced to spend the night in their cars. Families have been running short on food and water - but with a surplus of boredom and frustration.
Haider told the BBC he had been on the road for nearly 24 hours with his wife and three children.
"We left Birmingham at 9am yesterday morning. My little one has just thrown up, he's been feeling car sick for the last couple of hours and he's just thrown up."
Ollie Burridge, who is travelling with his family to Barcelona from South Wales, described a more jolly atmosphere.
"There were some people playing football on the other side of the carriageway that had been closed," he said.
"We got some bats and balls and played a spot of tennis over the central reservation. We made the best of it."
Meanwhile, Twitter user Hannah Brisley posted a video, saying that she had thrown food down to people stuck on the motorway, and had been rewarded with them singing a song.

France has been under a state of emergency since last November, when terror attacks in Paris left 130 people dead, and has tightened its border checks accordingly.
The port said it had raised concerns over French staffing levels with the UK government earlier this week, which were then brought up with its French counterparts.
The Conservative MP for Dover and Deal, Charlie Elphicke, has called on the government to apologise to people who queued for hours in the summer heat, describing the situation as "completely unacceptable".
Pete Williams, from the RAC, said the authorities needed to put better contingency plans in place.
The force will be made up of troops from Mauritania, Mali, Chad, Burkina Faso and Niger, known as the Sahel G-5.
Its main mission will be to combat jihadist groups active in the region, as well as tackle trafficking networks and illegal migration.
The Sahel is home to many Islamist groups, some aligned with al-Qaeda.
More than 3,000 French troops and 12,000 UN troops have been engaged in Mali since 2013, when Islamist and Tuareg militants led an insurgency in the north of the country.
The militants were pushed out but they have continued to mount sporadic assaults on peacekeepers in northern and central regions.
The UN peacekeeping mission is one of the UN's most dangerous in decades, with more than 115 peacekeepers killed in four years.

The violence has spilled over the border into Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast, with tourists targeted in recent years.
"Stability and development of the Sahel region are crucial not only for Africa but also for Europe," EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said on Monday in the Mali capital, Bamako.
Mali's Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop announced on Monday that the new force would have some 10,000 soldiers and police officers and become operational by the end of the year.
The authorities are preparing to clear the Admiralty camp on Thursday morning on the orders of the high court.
Student leaders have vowed to remain until the last minute to peacefully resist the action.
The protesters are demanding fully democratic elections for the city's chief executive.
Clashes broke out when the Mong Kok camp was cleared last month.
Ms Lam told reporters: "I will appeal to [students] that they should abide by what they have said all along, and that is to adopt a peaceful, orderly and non-violent approach with a view to avoiding unnecessary confrontation with the police."
She called on parents and teachers to persuade the students to leave and not return to the Admiralty camp.
"Once the police operation is under way, and knowing very well that there are some radical elements amongst the protesters, confrontation might become inevitable,'' Ms Lam said.
Her appeal came as Alex Chow of the Hong Kong Federation of Students and Joshua Wong of Scholarism said they planned to remain at the camps.
"We will still resist till the last moment,'' said Mr Chow, who promised that students would not engage in violence.
Students put up signs around the Admiralty site declaring "We will be back" as many residents came by to snap photos before the clearance.
Various business and industry groups have been applying for injunctions at the high court to clear the protest sites, as public support has waned.
Last month the authorities removed a small portion of the Admiralty protest camp at Citic Tower, which proceeded peacefully. It was in stark contrast to their demolition of the Mong Kok site later, resulting in bloody clashes and several arrests.
Apart from the camp in Admiralty, there is one still active in Causeway Bay.
While the court order covers three portions of the Admiralty site, including the main Connaught Road area, Hong Kong police spokesman Cheung Tak-keung said officers would remove obstructions from nearby roads.
He also said they would clear away barricades from the Causeway Bay site "at an appropriate time".
About 50,000 Celtic and Aberdeen supporters descended on Hampden Stadium in Glasgow for the match.
Security at transport hubs, crowded places and areas around the stadium itself was described by police as "enhanced".
However, police chiefs stressed there was no specific threat to either Scotland or the cup final.
The extra security steps, which followed this week's terrorist attack at the Manchester Arena, came after the national threat level was raised from "severe" to "critical".
The level has since been reduced to severe, but police said the enhanced security measures would remain in place over the weekend.
Police Scotland Chief Constable Phil Gormley said: "While the decision to move to 'severe' is welcome, we must all remain vigilant.
"There continues to be no intelligence of a specific threat to Scotland. However, the enhanced police deployment we have planned for the major events this weekend will remain in place.
"The public should continue to expect to see armed police officers on foot patrol at key locations.
"Our policing operation will gradually be scaled back in keeping with the UK-wide operation - but will continue to be proportionate."
Hampden Stadium opened its doors two hours before kick-off, to allow more time for additional security measures to be carried out.
The "enhanced" steps have included the presence of armed police, greater use of body and bag searches and an appeal to fans not to cause disturbances which could alarm the public.
Fans were asked not to bring bags to the match, but if they did they could expect to be stopped and searched both outside the ground and again at the turnstiles.
Police Scotland were working closely with the British Transport Police to ensure the reviewed security steps were carried out and that fans got to, and from, the ground safely.
Ahead of the cup final, Match Commander Supt Mark Hargreaves urged fans to allow plenty of time to get to the stadium and to drink responsibly.
He said: "The enhanced security operation at the stadium may include body and bag searches, which could potentially delay entry so I would urge people to plan their travel and get to the Scottish Cup Final in plenty of time.
"There is no specific threat against Scotland, or the Scottish Cup Final, however, people should remain calm but vigilant and report anything suspicious to police."

"Our boys just had that determination," Smith told 5 Live Sports Extra.
"I thought we made it a bit hard on ourselves as our kicking game wasn't fantastic and we made a couple of errors here and there - even where we attacked wasn't the smartest at times.
"But I just had that feeling that no matter what happened tonight they were going to work hard for each other and that's a really big ingredient in rugby league.
"You might not be squeaky clean or perfect in some areas but if you work really hard for each other you can cover over a lot of cracks."
The islands had been occupied by the German military since June 1940 and the Allied thrust through Europe had cut off supplies.
"Everyone was shouting Vega, Vega, you could hear it all over town, everybody was emotional, but gave it a rousing welcome," said Molly Bihet, who has written several books on the occupation.
"We were all crying, a lot of people have told me they thought that parcel meant more than Liberation Day."
John De Jersey, who had been imprisoned by the German authorities, said: "I actually saw the ship enter St Peter Port harbour from my cell window.
"If it hadn't been for that wonderful ship there would have been a lot of people [who] would have died of starvation in Guernsey."
To mark the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the Vega and its vital role in bringing supplies, a group of model boat enthusiasts have completed a 6ft 8in by 1ft replica of the ship.
Occupation of the Channel Islands
As the German Blitzkreig launched at the start of World War Two, the UK government decided to demilitarise the Channel Islands, which lie just off the coast of Normandy, France.
As a result about 30,000 islanders, about one third of the population, left as evacuees, with entire schools and families being put up across the British Isles.
Having occupied the islands the German military was responsible for feeding the 60,000 civilians as well as its own garrison, which at its largest was 26,800 troops, with supplies shipped in from German-occupied France.
This all changed with the Normandy Landings on 6 June 1944, when the Allied advance across Europe disrupted the supply lines.
Guernsey resident Tom Jehan described the situation: "Every available piece of ground at our house was used for growing vegetables, even the front lawn became a cabbage patch.
"Some of the 'delicacies' were carrageen moss to make a jelly or blancmange, sweet corn ground into flour to make cakes, bramble-leaf tea, parsnip coffee [and] fried potato peelings."
"Many are in a very poor condition, so the extra reduction in food values will have a serious consequence for them," said Dr Robert Noel McKinstry, Jersey's medical officer of health, in August following the announcement of further rationing.
On 5 November, the bailiff of Guernsey was given permission by the military authorities to send details of the desperate situation in Guernsey, Sark and Herm to the International Red Cross. A similar report was sent by Jersey's bailiff a few days later.
Letter from the bailiff of Guernsey to the secretary general of the International Red Cross
Conditions rapidly deteriorating here. Will soon become impossible. We appreciate difficulties, but civilian population need urgent supplies of essentials. We urge immediate visit of Red Cross Representatives.
All rations drastically reduced. Bread finishes December 15th. Sugar finishes January 6th. Fat production much below subsistence levels. Ration of mild reduced to one third of a point per head by the end of the year. Soap and other cleaners, stocks completely exhausted. Vegetables generally inadequate to supply civilian population, through the winter.
German consumption heavy. Salt exhausted. Clothing and footwear stock almost exhausted. Fuel, gas and electricity finish end of year. Coal stocks exhausted. Wood fuel inadequate. Many essential medical supplies finished.
(Signed) Victor G. Carey, Bailiff of Guernsey
On 9 November, the UK Home Office suggested the Joint War Organisation (JWO) of the British Red Cross and Order of St John take action to help islanders.
The Vega left Lisbon on 20 December, carrying food parcels and diet supplements for the sick. The ship arrived in Guernsey on 27 December and in Jersey on 31 December.
Herbert Nicholls described the ship's arrival: "There was rumours all the time and there was talk of a ship coming, then it arrived, and it was there with the big red cross on, red and white.
"That was the excitement, everybody was waiting for their Red Cross parcels."
On its first visit SS Vega delivered to the islands:
Alfred Roussel summed up the feelings of many islanders: "That name, Vega will always dwell in the minds of those who were in the island at that time as the turning point in the food situation."
The Vega visited the islands six more times with the last being about a month after the islands had been liberated in May 1945, but before a regular ferry service was reinstated and the return of the many evacuees.
Mr Jehan said of one of the later deliveries: "Everybody commented on how white the bread was, it was such a change as the bread we had been accustomed to was made with oatmeal, husks and all."
Red Cross parcels
The Canadian parcels contained:
And the parcels from New Zealand held:
The Red Cross had also been involved in delivering vital medical supplies to the island with medicines, drugs and medical stores sent from 1942 onwards.
This included some individual requirements including a surgical boot for an elderly woman, a new truss for a man, special powders for a man who had been badly gassed in World War One and new equipment for a radiologist.
The man, believed to be a 27-year-old from Kent, fractured his ankle after falling from Striding Edge on Helvellyn, stopping close to Red Tarn.
Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team said he was "extremely lucky" after he fell in "full-on winter conditions" at about 16:30 GMT on Thursday.
The walker was airlifted to hospital in Carlisle by the coastguard.
The rescue took about four hours, with support from the Penrith Mountain Rescue Team.
Mike Blakey, team leader, said: "I cannot stress enough that Helvellyn is in full winter conditions.
"If anyone is considering venturing onto Helvellyn, they must be properly equipped with an ice axe and crampons and the knowledge of to how to use them.
"We want everyone to enjoy the stunning mountains safely."
A controlled explosion was carried out on the object, found close to the Strule Arts Centre on Saturday morning.
Businesses were evacuated, streets were closed and the public were advised to avoid the town centre during the alert.
Police said they regretted the disruption but warned about leaving "unattended items" in public places.
Chief Insp Graham Dodds said: "I understand that incidents such as this are very disruptive for those in the town and I would like to pay tribute to all who worked with my officers this morning to ensure disruption was minimal.
"We greatly appreciate the support and co-operation from the local businesses and people in the community and regret any inconvenience caused.
"Public safety is of paramount importance to us and we are all too aware of the current threat level and must take cognisance of this in our approach to such incidents to ensure everyone is kept safe.
"As such I would want to take this opportunity to remind members of the public of the dangers of leaving unattended items in public places."
Last week, Strule Arts Centre was the focus of another bomb alert as it hosted a PSNI recruitment event.
Nothing was found during subsequent police searches and last Saturday's recruitment event proceeded as planned.
After a morning flurry, a midday inspection was called off as more sleet began to fall.

The artwork, named The Bristol Whales, was installed in the city centre last summer to mark Bristol's status as European Green Capital.
A head of a humpback whale and tail of a blue whale are depicted by the six-tonne pieces which are made from willow harvested in Somerset.
They will remain at Bennett's Patch and White's Paddock Nature Reserve.
According to the Avon Wildlife Trust, which manages the site, the area has a whaling history dating back to the 18th Century.
"The River Avon would have been full of the tall-masted ships that made Bristol wealthy, one of which moored at nearby Sea Mills," said the trust.
"In 1750, Bristol merchants entered the whaling trade, and the ship Adventure brought back two whales, which were rendered to blubber at Sea Mills.
"The venture continued there for almost 50 years."
The willow pieces spent two months in Millennium Square surrounded by an ocean of "upcycled" bottles to represent the threat of plastic pollution in the world's oceans.

The alternate minister for combating unemployment, who was a professional economist, said that the combination of the closure of the banks and austerity measures being forced on the country by eurozone and IMF creditors will tip Greece back into serious recession.
She also told me that she felt the government of Alexis Tsipras could remain in power, in spite of accepting a bailout deal at least as onerous as one rejected by it and Greek people in a referendum.
She would not be quitting, she said - although she did not hide her deep distaste for the tax rises and spending cuts being forced on her administration.
She did not know which, if any, of her ministerial colleagues would resign.
Mr Tsipras had no choice but to capitulate in the face of pressure from creditors, led by Germany, because the alternative was the complete collapse of the banks, and the meltdown of the economy.
The alternative of quitting the euro could not be considered, she said, because Syriza had no mandate for that.
She would not be drawn on whether she was personally in favour of exit from the eurozone.
Even with the rescue agreed, subject to Athens parliamentary approval, and the approval of other eurozone parliaments - including the Bundestag in Germany - restrictions on withdrawals from Greek banks (capital controls) would remain for some time, she said. | Greece's economy will contract a further 3%, Athens minister Rania Antonopoulos has told me in a BBC interview. | 33,508,288 | 300 | 33 | false |

Lu Jun - who officiated at the World Cup - was one of nine people convicted of charges related to corruption inside Chinese football.
The defendants were arrested following an investigation launched to try to clean up the game in China.
A number of other cases are still pending.
Lu Jun, once dubbed the "golden whistle", was the first Chinese referee to take charge of a World Cup match, at the 2002 event hosted by Japan and South Korea.
He was also twice named referee of the year by the Asian Football Confederation.
But now he has been sent to prison after admitting taking bribes worth more than $128,000 (£82,000) to fix the results of seven league football games, some in 2003.
These bribes involved four clubs, including Shanghai Shenhua, which has just signed French soccer star Nicolas Anelka.
The court, in the north-eastern city of Dandong, heard how the Shanghai club had spent nearly $1m bribing officials and referees, including Lu Jun.
The referee was one of a group of nine people - including other referees and officials - convicted following a trial. They were given sentences ranging from no time in jail to seven years behind bars.
There were tales of a wrongly-awarded penalty, the fixing of international friendly matches and gambling.
In China, corrupt referees have become known as "black whistles".
Dozens of people - referees, players, officials and coaches - have been arrested following a campaign to clean up Chinese football, launched in 2009.
Corruption has blighted the beautiful game here for some years, leading many Chinese fans to support European teams instead.
Last season, though, there was new investment - and enthusiasm - for football in China. That has been heightened with the arrival of Anelka.
But the trials of two former senior officials in the Chinese Football Association - the two bigger fishes, as the state-run news agency Xinhua calls them - have yet to start.
The big decisions included a go-ahead for an upgrade on Europe's Ariane 5 rocket in parallel with design work on a replacement for the early 2020s.
Esa nations also approved the project to provide the propulsion unit for Nasa's new manned capsule, Orion.
In the surprise of the meeting, even the UK put money into this project.
It has long stayed out of the agency's human spaceflight activities, but agreed to a "one-off, 20m-euro" contribution because of the technology development it could enable in a number of British companies.
"We're confident our interests will be reflected," UK science minister David Willetts said.
Most of the meeting's agenda had been worked out in advance. Great uncertainty however had remained over how much the 20 nations could commit to space in the midst of the Eurocrisis.
With that context in mind, Esa director-general Jean Jacques Dordain expressed great satisfaction at the 10.1bn-euro (£8.1bn; $12.9bn) outcome.
"Member states recognize that space is not an expense; it's an investment," he said.
The future of Ariane 5 and how to maintain its competitiveness in the face of growing international competition was the most problematic topic going into the Ministerial Council.
Germany had wanted to upgrade the rocket with a more powerful upper-stage engine to make it more versatile and therefore more attractive to potential customers; the French had wanted to go straight to a next-generation launcher that would benefit from substantially reduced production costs.
In that argument, Germany won. Ariane 5ME (Mid-Life Evolution) will be developed and will aim to fly in 2017.
However, the upper-stage Vinci engine will also be used on the successor (now officially called Ariane 6), and the meeting appeased French concerns by agreeing to detailed definition studies now and another gathering in 2014 to decide how to implement the future vehicle.
The hope is it can be put on the launch pad by about 2021.
Settling the launcher issue enabled a cascade of other agreements.
On the International Space Station (ISS), ministers not only had to find money to cover general European operating costs, they also had to approve their non-cash contribution to the orbiting platform.
There is a gap in this obligation in the period 2017-2020 and the US space agency (Nasa) had asked Esa to fulfill it by making a propulsion unit that could drive the Americans' new manned capsule, Orion, through space.
European member states indicated they would do this - but there was a surprise: the UK said it would help with the cost, which is expected to be 450m euros.
Even though it was an original signatory on the treaty that brought the ISS into being, Britain has steadfastly refused down the years to pick up any of the costs of constructing the platform or even to pay for the UK national Tim Peake, who was recently selected as an astronaut.
But Mr Willetts indicated his nation would make a "one-off, 20m-euro" contribution to the propulsion module project. He said there were telecommunications and propulsion companies in Britain that would benefit from the involvement.
Mr Dordain's reaction: "The UK is on the space station. It's a historic moment."
Professor Jan Woerner, part of Germany's delegation in Naples and a frequent critic of Britain's past reluctance to join the ISS programme, also saluted the change of position.
In addition, he highlighted the significance of the module to Europe more widely.
"The first flight is an unmanned flight, but Orion, as you know, is a capsule for future human transportation so it's a big deal that Esa is now on the critical path together with the Americans for human transportation."
After the two-day event, Germany went away as the largest Esa contributor (2.6bn euros) followed by France (2.3bn). The pair are the traditional power-houses in European space. But the meeting saw the UK climb (1.5bn) above Italy (1.1bn) into third position. The monies agreed in Naples will be spent over different periods but, broadly speaking, over the next three to five years.
Esa's science budget - the part that makes space telescopes to study the cosmos, and the like - received a "flat cash" settlement of 2.5bn euros. In other words, the 2013 budget will be repeated in the following four years with no adjustment for inflation (ie 508m per year).
Science is the agency's mandatory programme. Everyone must contribute a sum that reflects the relative size of their economy.

Some southern European nations say the EU's credibility is now at stake after last year's decision to scale back search and rescue efforts.
On Sunday, hundreds are believed to have drowned after their boat sank off the coast of Libya.
The UN says the North Africa-Italy route has become the world's deadliest.
The 20m (70ft) long boat was believed to be carrying up to 700 migrants, and only 28 survivors have been rescued.
A boat carrying coffins of the 24 victims found so far has just arrived in Malta, the Italian Coastguard says.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said ahead of the foreign ministers meeting there was "no easy solution, no magic solution".
"We have a political and moral duty to exercise our role. The Mediterranean is our sea and we have to act together as Europeans. It is also [in] our interest, [in that] of our credibility; the European Union was built and is built around the protection of human rights, human dignity and the life of human people - we need to be consistent in that."
On Sunday, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said an emergency EU summit by the end of this week had to be a priority, adding trafficking was "a plague in our continent" and bemoaned the lack of European solidarity.
Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Libya is key to resolving the crisis:
"We have what is possibly becoming a failed state at our doorstep. We have criminal gangs having a heyday organising these trips in rickety boats... We need to get the Libyan factions together to form some sort of government of almost national unity."
Human smugglers are taking advantage of the political crisis in Libya to use it as a launching point for boats carrying migrants who are fleeing violence or economic hardship in Africa and the Middle East.
Up to 1,500 migrants are now feared to have drowned this year alone.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said the latest sinking could amount to the largest loss of life during a migrant crossing to Europe.
Analysis: BBC Europe editor Katya Adler
The EU had been accused of being too slow to react to the growing humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean. Now it is scrambling to respond.
A routine foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg will be focused on the rising death toll. There is talk of a possible emergency summit of EU leaders by the end of the week.
Governments across Europe have expressed dismay at Sunday's huge loss of life. But while the EU talks, the Mediterranean is turning into a graveyard.
The crisis highlights a fundamental weakness in the EU. Managing the situation requires political will, co-ordination and money from all the bloc's 28 countries. Not easy to achieve.
A new EU approach?
13,500
Migrants rescued 10-17 April
900
Migrants died attempting the crossing between 1 Jan and 15 April
31,500 Migrants have arrived from North Africa so far this year
218,000 Estimated to have crossed the Mediterranean in 2014
3,500 Migrants died attempting the crossing last year
The EU has been criticised for its policy since the rescue operation, Mare Nostrum, was ended last year.
Some EU members said they could not afford it and expressed concerns that it was encouraging more migrants.
It now runs a more limited border control operation called Triton.
The latest boat to sink went down on Saturday night, 130 miles (210km) off the Italian island of Lampedusa and 17 miles from the Libyan coast.
The migrants reportedly fell overboard when they rushed to draw the attention of the passing Portuguese merchant ship King Jacob, causing their ship to capsize.
One survivor in the Cannizzaro hospital in Catania, Sicily, said there were as many as 950 people on board, although this has not been verified. He said many were locked below decks and not allowed to leave.
The UNHCR said that migrant boats had carried 13,500 people into Italian waters last week alone.
Last year, a record 170,000 people made the perilous crossing to Italy. Thousands died on the journey.
Oct 2013: More than 360 people, mostly Eritreans and Somalis, die as their boat sinks off Lampedusa.
Sept 2014: At least 300 migrants drown off Malta when people smugglers ram a boat after its occupants refuse to move to a smaller one. Survivors said it was "mass murder".
Feb 2015: At least 300 migrants feared drowned as four dinghies get into trouble after leaving Libyan coast in bad weather.
12 April 2015: Some 400 migrants feared drowned after their vessel capsizes off Libya.
19 April 2015: About 650 migrants feared drowned as boat capsizes in Libyan waters south of Lampedusa.

Ms Karimova, 45, was tipped to succeed her father, who died last year, until she fell out with her family in 2014.
The prosecutor-general's office said "a five-year restriction of liberty order" was imposed nearly two years ago.
It is thought she has been under house arrest. Her whereabouts are unknown.
Once the country's ambassador to Spain, Gulnara Karimova's name became the international face of Uzbekistan, running significant business interests, including a fashion label and jewellery collection, and recording pop videos.
But she became embroiled in bribery and money-laundering investigations.
The prosecutor-general's office has now detailed two corruption cases against her, concerning assets of around $1bn (£760m) belonging to her in 12 countries, including the UK, Russia, Malta and United Arab Emirates.
It said the restriction of liberty order was imposed when she was found guilty in one case. A second is ongoing.
Ms Karimova was also being investigated for fraud, money laundering and concealing foreign currency, it said, adding that officials were looking to freeze her assets.
In an interview with the BBC in December, her son denied reports suggesting his mother had died, and accused the Uzbek security services of keeping her in isolation.
Islam Karimov Jr, who lives in London, urged officials to make her whereabouts public, but no details were given.
Full-back Aina, 20, made three substitute appearances in the Premier League and one in the FA Cup, and started two EFL Cup games last season.
He is the first major arrival at Hull since Leonid Slutsky was appointed as manager in June.
"I'm very excited to be here and it is the start of a new chapter in my career. I just want to hit the ground running," Aina told Hull's website.
Born in London and with England caps up to under-20 level, Aina has declared his allegiance to Nigeria.
He been part of three FA Youth Cup-winning sides at Stamford Bridge and twice helped them win the Uefa Youth League.

The 6ft flightless bird, nicknamed Chris, was first spotted on farmland near Thriplow, Cambridgeshire, over the festive weekend.
Despite efforts by police and others, the rhea evaded capture.
Officers tweeted on Tuesday that "Chris" had been found and his real name was Eric. They added he had been returned safely to his owner.
The rhea, a South American bird which can reach running speeds of up to 40mph (64km/h), had been spotted in a number of rural areas in the county including Foxton, Newton and Fowlmere.

South Cambridgeshire Police tweeted to say "reports indicate that Chris Rhea is now Eric & has made it home for C'mas '17 safe n well".
"Great news to hear he came to no harm and is safe where he belongs," they added.
It is not yet known who caught the bird who where he had escaped from.
However, while Eric appears to have made it home, Lawrence - another rhea who has been missing since August, has still not been found.
There had been talk of a sharp increase on the previous year - but no anticipation of a figure bigger even that for the whole of 2014/15.
Monitor, which regulates the 151 Foundation Trusts, didn't mince words in its press release referring to a "worst in a generation financial position".
David Bennett, the outgoing chief executive, summed up the situation bluntly: "The NHS simply can no longer afford operationally and financially to operate in the way it has been".
These are challenging times indeed for the health service.
The bleak set of numbers for April to June, including those from the 90 non-Foundation Trusts, raise a number of questions both about the causes of the plunge further into the red and what can be done about it.
Nurse staff shortages have generated demand for agency staff and that has pushed up the pay costs significantly.
Foundation Trusts had expected to spend £323m in the three months - but the final bill was £515m.
As a percentage of the total pay bill that was up a lot on the same period in 2014.
The government in June announced a crackdown on use of agency staff, with caps on spending by struggling trusts and setting maximum hourly rates.
Ministers argue that when these measures take effect the bills will fall.
Sceptics say it will take time to get a grip on costs and to ensure there's an adequate flow of trained nurses to take vacancies.
Although some targets were missed, including Accident & Emergency waiting times and referrals by GPs for cancer treatment, trust chiefs argue that they are prioritising care at a time of rising demand by patients.
Given the choice between a poor safety rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulator and slipping into financial deficit, hospital managements will inevitably choose the latter.
Monitor and the Trust Development Authority (TDA) can chide trusts for slipping into the red but not much more than that when they know that the financial pressures affect every area of the NHS.
These figures cover the first three months of the financial year.
There are still nine months to go and things can change over that time.
At the start of any year trusts will feel freer to spend money, but as they come under more pressure from regulators to keep within agreed budgets there is a heightened focus on cost control.
£930m
NHS trusts deficit for April to June 2015
£451m deficit for same period last year
£822m total overspend for the whole of last year
£2bn estimated deficit for the 2015/16 financial year
Monitor and the TDA in August warned trusts to freeze recruitment of non-essential staff.
This might have a positive impact on the finances.
The government line is that the NHS was given all the money it asked for - £2bn for this year, allocated by the Chancellor last autumn, and then £8bn extra above inflation annually by 2020.
Given that, ministers argue, the NHS has to get by on the agreed budgets and there will be no extra money, not even for winter pressures.
They expect trust chiefs to get a firm grip on costs as the year progresses.
Patients can expect the same level of emergency and urgent care and there is no suggestion this will be compromised by the financial plight of trusts.
But as the year progresses and if financial problems persist, hospital chiefs may decide to allow waiting times for elective care and non-urgent procedures to lengthen.
It remains to be seen whether A&E units feel more than the usual stresses and strains and whether social care is able to allow timely discharges of patients from hospitals
Some in the NHS feel that the message there will be no more government money will be unsustainable and George Osborne will have to find extra cash before the financial year is out.
The forthcoming spending review will of course tell us more about the longer-term funding for the health service.
Hull, 19, is five shots behind the leader, New Zealand's Lydia Ko, who went sub-70 for the third successive round with a 68.
Hull's triple-bogey seven on the 10th, her only dropped shots of the round, cost her badly as she was two shots clear at the time.
Scotland's Catriona Matthew shot a 68 to move up the leaderboard into fifth.
Andre Gray saw his penalty saved after he had been tripped by Al-Habsi, and Reading held out to secure a point.
Gray should have put Burnley in front early on when he scuffed Geroge Boyd's cross over from six yards out.
Tom Heaton saved from Yann Kermorgant's header at the other end, while Gray put Matt Lowton's cross wide from point-blank range after the break.
Former Brentford striker Gray, the Championship's top scorer with 18 goals this season, faced a long wait to take his penalty, with Reading winger Hal Robson-Kanu receiving a booking for scuffing up the penalty spot.
The Royals could have won it when Robson-Kanu fired well over, but they created few chances throughout and have now scored only eight goals in their last 14 matches.
Burnley remain third in the table after extending their unbeaten run in the league to eight games, while Reading stay 15th.
Reading manager Brian McDermott:

"I've looked back at the penalty decision three or four times and it doesn't look like Ali's touched him.
"Then Ali made a great save from the penalty and we're delighted with that.
"Our players were incensed for a reason, but Ali's made a fabulous save and that was the right outcome."
Burnley manager Sean Dyche:
"From where I was looking, I did see their player [Robson-Kanu] dig the spot up.
"I've never seen that in my career and I hope my players never conduct themselves in that manner.
"I would not expect my players to move the ball off the spot when someone is ready to take a penalty and then kick the floor up. I think that's really poor."

Philip Tron, 32, had travelled to the city to collect the daughter of his partner who was attending the Ariana Grande concert.
Mr Tron and 19-year-old Courtney Boyle both died when the bomb went off in the foyer of the arena. Miss Boyle's funeral was held earlier this month.
Mr Tron's family said his death was "like a light being switched off".
Mourners, many wearing brightly-coloured clothes, gathered at St Mark's Methodist Church in Gateshead.
As the coffin was carried into the church the theme from the film Top Gun was played.
Earlier, Mr Tron's family released a statement describing him as someone "who would do anything for anyone".
It went on: "Philip was funny, thoughtful, loving and such a charmer, he also absolutely doted on his family.
"He would light up a room with his humour and for the past six months or so had been so happy with his job and personal life.
"It feels like a light has been switched of in our lives and we miss him unbelievably.
"We would like to thank everyone so much for the overwhelming support we have had, from Greater Manchester Police and the people in Manchester. We truly are grateful."
The service was told donations would be passed on to the Red Cross and the Swan Bereavement Nurses based in Manchester.
Most of these live in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, which includes the Dordogne.
In the UK, there were 154,800 French citizens estimated to be resident in 2013 to 2015, the majority of them working.
About half of British citizens in France were working - the majority of those aged under 50 years old.
The ONS says the Brexit vote has increased the need for data about the people who may be most likely to be affected by the UK's decision to leave the EU and this report is the third in that series.
It said that "unfortunately", information on the occupations and industries of British citizens in France was not available, although it did establish that most of those aged 50 and over were neither working nor looking for work.
Among the 25-to-54-year-old age group, living close to Paris is most common. Its Ile-de-France region is home to 10,400 British citizens in this age group.
The ONS report backs up two commonly held beliefs, that the British like to retire to the Dordogne and that most of the French that come here to live and work are bankers.
The financial sector employs 29% of the French who are working, with the next highest employment sector, 25%, working in public administration, education and health.
The number living here in the UK is far lower than the 300,000 figure that has been generally estimated.
A spokesperson for the French Embassy said it estimated that approximately one out of two French citizens were not registered in the UK, and stressed this was not a requirement.
However, the spokesperson added: "Whatever the numbers, the report confirms the important role that French citizens play in the UK and vice versa, the role that British citizens play in France, hence the need to find a solution for their future status in the framework of Article 50 negotiations between the UK and the European Commission."
The ONS report highlighted the dominance of Spain as a destination for those UK citizens wanting to live abroad.
A previous special report earlier this summer found the population of British citizens resident in Spain was 296,600 in 2016, twice the number choosing France.
But although the numbers of French and British are closely aligned, Spain appears to have no such mutual admiration for the UK, with the ONS saying there were 116,000 Spanish citizens resident in the UK in 2013 to 2015.
The court fined the country after it failed to hold to account a man who attacked his wife eight times.
Officials went so far as to accuse the victim, Angelica Balșan, of provoking the assaults, the court noted.
Official statistics suggest most Romanians think domestic violence is normal, it said.
In certain circumstances, 60% of Romanians see it as justified, it said.
Such attitudes, which were even more deeply entrenched during the period of communist rule, are slowly beginning to shift and the government has adopted new laws to combat such abuse.
But "the overall unresponsiveness of the judicial system and the impunity enjoyed by aggressors, as found in Ms Balșan's case, indicated that there had been insufficient commitment" to enforcing them, the court noted.
It found Romania had violated articles of the European Convention on Human Rights prohibiting inhuman and degrading treatment and discrimination based on gender.
Angelica Balșan married her husband in 1979 and told the court her husband had been violent to her and their four children throughout their marriage.
But the violence intensified during their divorce proceedings in 2007, she testified.
She sustained injuries that required between two and 10 days' medical care.
She requested protection through emergency calls, petitions to the head of police and criminal complaints, saying she feared for her life.
In some cases authorities decided not to press charges in the belief that she had provoked the attacks. In other cases her husband was acquitted in court.
Finding against Romania, the court ordered it pay Ms Balșan €9,800 (£8,480; $11,000) in damages.
The verdict can be challenged and referred to the Court's Grand Chamber.

The air pollution is caused by the burning of forests and peat land in Indonesia so it can be used for growing crops, mostly lucrative palm oil.
An annual feature of life in Indonesia's neighbouring countries, it has been blamed for deaths and illness.
Indonesia, which has declared a state of emergency in six provinces, has repeatedly said it is cracking down on the slash-and-burn activities.
But the issue is a constant source of diplomatic tension, with Jakarta accused by Singapore and Malaysia of not doing enough to tackle it.
A mild smoky smell has been in the air here for a few days, but throughout Friday, the view from our office window grew worse and worse.
Air pollution is officially measured in Singapore Pollutant Standards Index (PSI). Anything over 100 is considered unhealthy. Though the 24-hour average so far on Friday was only slightly over that, the three-hour reading at 14:00 local time was 215.
You can smell it inside buildings, it lingers in your hair and clothes and it makes your eyes itch.
There will no doubt be people cancelling their outdoor plans for the weekend and stocking up on face masks, but there's a way to go before Singapore hits the peak of last year's haze, one of the worst ever.
At times back then, the PSI reading was above 300. You could barely see the other side of the road and venturing out without a face mask was almost unthinkable.
Every year Indonesia sees agricultural fires across Sumatra, and in parts of Kalimantan on Borneo island. About 100 "hotspots" were detected on Friday.
The fires are said to be caused by corporations as well as small-scale farmers using slash-and-burn to clear vegetation for palm oil, pulp and paper plantations.
Once lit, the fires often spin out of control and spread into protected forested areas and peat. A peat fire is difficult to put out as it can burn underground for months, and requires a lot of water to extinguish.
At its largest the annual haze measures hundreds of kilometres across. It spreads to Malaysia, Singapore, the south of Thailand and the Philippines, causing a significant deterioration in air quality.
The problem has accelerated in recent years as more land has been cleared for expanding plantations for the lucrative palm oil trade.
Indonesia says it has arrested 450 people so far this year in connection with fires, including some linked to companies.
President Joko Widodo has ordered extra resourcing for monitoring and fire-fighting efforts, but told the BBC last year it would take at least three years for the results to be seen.
Besides irritating the respiratory tract and the eyes, the pollutants can cause serious long-term damage to health.
The indices used to measure air quality in the region usually measure particulate matter (PM10), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and ozone.
PM2.5 can enter deeper into the lungs. It has been associated with causing respiratory illnesses and lung damage.
As much as Singapore complains about poor air quality, in parts of Indonesia the haze can last for months and be deadly.
Giving his east London address, Stephen Port said about 23-year-old Anthony Walgate: "Appears a young boy looks like he's collapsed outside."
Mr Port then went to sleep rather than wait for paramedics, the jury heard.
He denies 29 charges including four counts of murder, as well as drugging, rape and sexual assault.
The 41-year-old chef allegedly plied his four young murder victims with the drug GHB at his Barking home so he could have sex with them while they were unconscious.
The Old Bailey trial has heard that Mr Port was jailed for eight months for perverting the course of justice by lying to police about the circumstances of the death of Mr Walgate, a fashion student.
They had made contact online in June 2014 and Mr Walgate agreed to go to the chef's home for a sleepover, the court heard.
Mr Walgate had told friends he was going to meet a man named Joe Dean in Barking who was going to pay £800 to spend the night with him.
His university friends said the photo they were shown of "Joe Dean" was the man they now know as Stephen Port, the jury was told.
In the 999 call played in court, Mr Port told the operator: "Looks like he has collapsed or had a seizure or something - or just drunk."
The accused was no longer on the line when he was asked for his number, and the operator had to call Mr Port back to ask if the person was breathing.
In a statement, paramedic Anthony Neil said he arrived to find Mr Walgate was already dead and was "in a sitting position against something".
He covered him in a red blanket and alerted police, the court heard.
Police officers tracked Mr Port down to his flat through his number, noting him as a witness and took his statement.
The jury has heard how officers later realised Mr Port had hired Mr Walgate as an escort and had been lying about the events of that night.
Pathologist Olaf Biedrzycki told the court the student's death was due to GHB intoxication and said he had been informed that Mr Walgate's jeans zip was undone and his underwear was "inside out and back to front".
There were also 14 separate injuries on the body including grazes and bruising to the inside upper left arm.
Prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC told the court that the second alleged murder victim, Gabriel Kovari, had been Mr Port's temporary flatmate.
The court heard how, before moving in, the Slovakian national had reassured a friend who asked him: "Are you sure he's safe? There are some crazy people out there lol."
Mr Kovari's body was found by a dog walker in a churchyard near Mr Port's home on 28 August 2014.
The trial continues.
Detailed debate on both the Scotland Bill (Monday) and the Trade Union Bill (Tuesday) look likely to provoke some bare-knuckle politics in the Chamber.
The Commons opens for business at 14.30 ( GMT) with genial Communities and Local Government Secretary, Greg Clark providing the warm-up. But the key to the rest of the day's action will be whether or not time is then absorbed by ministerial statements or urgent questions.
MPs are due to spend the bulk of their afternoon on the report stage of the Scotland Bill, where there are a shedload of amendments from all quarters. One government amendment makes the Scottish Parliament and government "permanent parts of the United Kingdom's constitutional arrangements" which cannot be abolished except by a decision of the people of Scotland in a referendum. Another provides competence to legislate for social security benefits, if paid for by the Scottish Government.
Labour's shadow Scottish secretary, Ian Murray, calls for an independent commission on full fiscal autonomy, to provide an authoritative analysis of the implications of devolving full tax and spend powers to Holyrood. It would be required to report by next March and there's a similar amendment calling for a committee to oversee the transition and implementation of welfare powers.
He also has an amendment to allow the VAT take from Scotland to be, in effect, paid to the Scottish government. Uber-localist, Labour's Graham Allen wants to give extra tax-raising powers to Scottish councils and a power of general competence which would allow them greater freedom of action (he attaches amendments on this sort of thing to every possible bill).
The Liberal Democrat former Scottish Secretary, Alistair Carmichael wants to remove the word "normally" from this clause: "But it is recognised that the Parliament of the United Kingdom will not normally legislate with regard to devolved matters without the consent of the Scottish Parliament." And add a ban on any alteration to the powers of the Parliament itself.
But the real kickers are the SNP's amendments.
There's one to ensure that the UK Parliament can only legislate in devolved areas with the consent of the Scottish Parliament, putting the Sewel Convention onto a statutory footing. Another would enable the Scottish Parliament to amend the Scotland Act 1998 to remove the reservation on taxation, borrowing and public expenditure in Scotland, with the effect that the Scottish Parliament could move to full fiscal autonomy. They also call for power over child tax credit, and working tax credit to be transferred to Holyrood and yet another amendment would permit the Scottish Parliament to decide whether and when to hold another independence referendum.
How much of this will get debated is an interesting question, the programme motion sets aside six hours for debate, but there are some very big issues here, and some will certainly not get discussed on the floor of the House. It's a far cry from Sir George Young's tenure as Leader of the Commons, when report stage discussion frequently stretched over a couple of days and it does open the door for peers to tinker with matters that MPs didn't get around to talking about. This could end up providing a textbook example of why the apparently boring details of scheduling in the Commons can matter rather a lot.
The day ends with an adjournment debate on human rights in Eritrea led by Labour's Matthew Pennycook. He says: "Cruelty, tyranny, and forced conscription and labour are everyday experiences for Eritreans under the hermetic regime of President Isaias Afwerki. The oppressive nature of the regime is why 5,000 Eritreans embark each month on a treacherous exodus from their Horn of Africa homeland. "
In the Lords (14:30 GMT) proceedings open with the arrival of two Tory ex-ministers Viscount Hailsham of Kettlethorpe (ex-Agriculture Minister Douglas Hogg) and Lord Robathan (early Cameron backer and defence minister Andrew Robathan).
The day's questions cover; updating legislation on dog breeding and boarding, incursions by Spanish vessels and aircraft into UK waters and airspace, the number of refugees in the UK under the vulnerable persons relocation scheme and the cost of operations and procedures undertaken in hospitals and by GPs.
The day's legislating is on the detail of the Bank of England and Financial Services Bill which covers the Bank of England's governance and financial arrangements. And there will also be a short debate on the tabling of Parliamentary questions led by Labour's Lord Hunt of Chesterton.
The Commons begins, (11.30 GMT) with business, innovation and skills questions and then Labour MP Ian Austin has a ten minute rule bill to decentralise government departments and move much of their operations away from London.
Then the real action starts with the report stage of the Trade Union Bill. Here, all sorts of issues are in play and there's a bit of competition to champion union rights between Labour and the SNP.
Labour have a series of amendments down on the conduct of strike ballots, including allowing online voting. And watch out for the issue of banning employers from deducting union subscriptions from pay packets, a number of Conservative MPs think the Government has no business interfering in voluntary arrangements between unions and employers.
The SNP have an amendment to ban employers from hiring agency workers to replace strikers, and another to make the obligation of picket organisers to show their union letter taking responsibility for a picket to the police, only if the police officer concerned, in turn identifies themselves by name and station.
The adjournment debate, led by the Conservative Oliver Colvile, is on hedgehog conservation.
In Westminster Hall, Jess Phillips' debate on the family-friendliness of the Houses of Parliament (14.30 - 16:00 GMT) caught my eye. And, after that there's an interesting looking excursion into the role of devolved administrations in UK renegotiation of EU membership led by the SNP's Stephen Gethins.
In the Lords (14.30 GMT) there are two more new arrivals, Lord Barker of Battle (former Conservative energy minister Greg Barker) and Baroness (Lorely) Burt of Solihull a former Lib Dem MP.
Questions to ministers cover; the spread of Japanese knotweed, the basic farm payment to be paid to qualifying farmers and the policy review of resettlement in the Chagos Islands.
Then peers move to a House motion to set up a Lords foreign affairs committee, which may lead to a brief debate. The day's legislation is on the second readings of the National Insurance Contributions (Rate Ceilings) Bill and then all stages of the Finance Bill. This enacts measures from the June Budget, but given the Lords don't interfere in money bills it will morph into a general economic debate, expect lots of laboured emphasis on their Lordships' respect for the convention that they leave money bills alone, given the tax credits vote a couple of weeks ago.
It's a Lords-only day in Westminster and peers begin at 11:00 ( GMT) with questions to ministers. The subjects include the tourism benefits to the UK of hosting the Rugby World Cup.
Then they move onto the second day of detailed scrutiny of the Bank of England and Financial Services Bill, which covers Bank of England prudential regulations, and financial services. In the lunch break there will be a short debate on bilateral trade between the UK and African countries.
After that, peers follow MPs off onto their half-term break both Houses return on Monday November 16th. I'll preview their scheduled adventures then , next week.
The 54-year-old, who was assistant to Terry Butcher, has joined the club for the remainder of the season.
Caley Thistle chairman Kenny Cameron said: "The board are delighted to help the manager and his back-room team in any way possible in the battle for survival in the Scottish Premiership."
His side are bottom of the table.
Foran has been assisted by Brian Rice, who was at Caley Thistle under previous manager John Hughes, since being promoted from the playing staff last summer.
The Irishman expressed his delight at the addition of Malpas to his staff.
"He is a great coach with huge experience of Scottish football and his knowledge and extra set of eyes will be invaluable for the challenges ahead," he told the club website.
Malpas, who has 55 Scotland caps and spent his playing career with Dundee United, had spells as manager with Motherwell, having started as Butcher's assistant, and Swindon Town.
However, he then returned to being Butcher's assistant with Caley Thistle, from 2009 and 2013, and Hibernian.
Malpas most recently was director of football with Raith Rovers but left that position in May 2015.
He has previously been linked with the manager's job at Caledonian Stadium.
Caley Thistle are five points behind Dundee at the foot of the Premiership with five games remaining.
The 28-year-old made his Munster debut against Connacht in 2010 and has chalked up 84 appearances.
Foley, who has won two Ireland caps, follows former Munster players James Coughlan, Paddy Butler and Sean Dougall in moving to the Top 14 club.
The lock, from Tipperary, will miss the rest of the season as he recovers from a wrist injury.
Foley made his Ireland debut against Georgia in 2014, and has also represented Emerging Ireland on two tours.
Colombian officials said there was no technical failure and blamed the pilot, the airline and Bolivian regulators.
A recording had already indicated the aircraft had run out of fuel.
The plane, operated by Bolivian company LaMia, plunged into a mountainside near Medellin. Only six people survived.
Preliminary results of the Colombian investigation said the pilot failed to refuel en route and was too late in reporting engine failures caused by the lack of fuel.
Colombia's Secretary for Air Safety, Col Freddy Bonilla, also said that aviation authorities in Bolivia and the airline accepted conditions presented in the flight plan that were "unacceptable".
"No technical factor was part of the accident, everything involved human error, added to a management factor in the company's administration and the management and organisation of the flight plans by the authorities in Bolivia," he told journalists.
The plane was also over its weight limit by nearly 400kg (62 stone) and was not certified to fly at the altitude at which the trip took place, Col Bonilla added.
The conclusion, officials said, came from the plane's flight recorders and other evidence. A Bolivian investigation had already blamed the pilot and the airline for the accident.
LaMia's chief executive, Gustavo Vargas Gamboa, and his son, Gustavo Vargas Villegas, a former official with Bolivia's aviation authority, had already been detained pending trial. They deny any wrongdoing.
The pilot, Miguel Quiroga, who was also a co-owner of the airline, died in the crash. In a leaked tape, he can be heard warning of a "total electric failure" and "lack of fuel".
The aircraft had been transporting Chapecoense to the biggest game in their history, the final of the Copa Sudamericana.
But appeal judges said the original judge in the case was right to dismiss their £10.5m compensation claim.
Jacqueline and Andrew MacLeod claimed staff at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness acted negligently when delivering their daughter Rowan in June 1999.
A judge heard their case in 2012 but did not issue his opinion until 2014.
Lord Kinclaven had at one point said he intended to issue his opinion in February 2013 but it was January the following year before the family learned the outcome of the case.
Appeal judges Lord Brodie, Lady Dorrian and Lord Drummond Young said this was not "within a reasonable time".
However, they ruled that Lord Kinclaven acted correctly in dismissing the compensation claim.
The judges also said there was no legal need for the case to be heard again. The Fort William couple's lawyers had argued that the case should be allowed to return to court.
The MacLeod's alleged that Rowan, who has cerebral palsy, was not properly monitored during her birth and suffered brain damage as a consequence of this.
Lawyers acting for NHS Highland said staff had acted correctly.
Kerry McGhee, whose father Samuel was one of ten people killed when a helicopter crashed into the Glasgow bar in November 2013, is among the signatories.
She said: "I find it disgusting that people want to use it as a storyline."
ITV said it always "considers carefully the content of its programming."
The episodes of the TV soap featuring the crash are due to be broadcast this week.
It is part of a series of storylines focussing on the wedding of characters Debbie Dingle and Pete Barton.
In a statement, an ITV spokesman added: "The helicopter crash circumstances are very different to any real life cases that we are aware of.
"The accident occurs as a consequence of Chrissie setting fire to her cheating husband's car which spreads to the scrapyard. Gas canisters are ignited and explode into the air striking the helicopter."
The petition, called "Show some respect to the Clutha Disaster victims and families by not running a storyline about a helicopter crash on Emmerdale" has been posted on the change.org website.
It is addressed to Emmerdale producer Kate Oates.
Ms McGhee wrote: "I'm signing because my father was killed in this accident and I find it disgusting that people want to use it as a storyline."
Morag Lennox, from Glasgow, who also signed the petition, said: "We the people of Glasgow are still coming to terms with the loss at the Clutha."
Sana Irving, another signatory, wrote: "Disrespectful and upsetting to the victims families."
The Clutha pub reopened last month in a ceremony which was attended by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
The study, to be published in the journal Diabetes, showed that eating low levels of carbohydrate changed bits of DNA.
It then showed children with these changes were fatter.
The British Heart Foundation called for better nutritional and lifestyle support for women.
It is thought that a developing baby tries to predict the environment it will be born into, taking cues from its mother and adjusting its DNA.
Studies in animals have shown that changes in diet can alter the function of genes - known as epigenetic change.
It is a growing field trying to understand how the environment interacts with genes.
In this study, the researchers took samples from the umbilical cord and looked for "epigenetic markers".
They showed that mothers with early pregnancy diets low in carbohydrates, such as sugars and starch, had children with these markers.
They then showed a strong link between those same markers and a child's obesity at ages six and nine.
Professor Keith Godfrey, who is from the University of Southampton and led the international study, told the BBC: "What is surprising is that it explains a quarter of the difference in the fatness of children six to nine years later."
The report says the effect was "considerably greater" than that of birth weight and did not depend on how thin or fat the mother was.
The changes were noticed in the RXRA gene. This makes a receptor for vitamin A, which is involved in the way cells process fat.
Professor Godfrey said: "It is both a fascinating and potentially important piece of research.
"All women who become pregnant get advice about diet, but it is not always high up the agenda of health professionals.
"The research suggests women should follow the advice as it may have a long term influence on the baby's health after it is born."
Professor Mark Hanson, of the British Heart Foundation, said: "This study provides compelling evidence that epigenetic changes, at least in part, explain the link between a poor start to life and later disease risk.
"It strengthens the case for all women of reproductive age having greater access to nutritional, education and lifestyle support to improve the health of the next generation, and to reduce the risk of the conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, which often follow obesity."
Detailed information being gathered about the shape of the ocean floor west of Australia confirms the seabed in some locations to be extremely rugged.
Two vessels - the Fugro Equator and the Zhu Kezhen - are currently mapping an area covering 60,000 sq km.
This survey will guide a metre-by-metre search using towed instruments and submersibles.
This is likely to get under way towards the end of September.
The Australian authorities have warned that this could take a year to complete.
The Dutch-owned Fugro Equator and the Chinese naval vessel Zhu Kezhen are presently assembling a bathymetric (depth) map.
It covers the general location in the southern Indian Ocean where investigators believe MH370 is most likely to have come down.
The map is akin to a broad canvas - a first-ever proper look at a terrain about which there is the slimmest of knowledge.
It is essential work. Without this map, which has a resolution of roughly 25m in the deepest depths, it would not be safe to put down submersibles, as there is a high risk these vehicles would be lost.
"There are volcanoes down there we've found which were unknown before," says Paul Kennedy from Fugro Survey Pty Ltd.
"There are all sorts of new features that are appearing," the company's project director for the MH370 search told BBC News.
The Fugro Equator is equipped with a state-of-the-art multibeam echosounder.
The vast majority of the area it is covering has never been sampled before.
It has recorded depths near to 6,000m. Even the shallow regions are more than 1,000m down.
But it is the craggy nature of the seabed that will prompt extreme caution to be exercised in the next phase of operations.
Fugro has been contracted by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau to conduct this part of the search as well.
It will involve the Equator and another ship, the Fugro Discovery. Both ships will pull a deep-tow instrument very close to the sea floor using a 10,000m armoured fibre-optic cable.
"There are areas that are benign and are going to be fairly straightforward. But then there are some areas that we know are going to be really hard work," explained Mr Kennedy.
"There are some huge valleys between big mountains, and it's going to be really hard to tow our device through those areas. We can do it; it's just going to take a bit longer."
Mr Kennedy likens the deep-tow's capabilities to human senses.
Echosounders are its ears; cameras represent its eyes; and a chemical sensor works like a nose.
This nose will "sniff" for the presence of any jet fuel in the water, down to a few parts per billion in concentration.
Assembling the bathymetric map has been a tough job in itself.
The Equator has had to contend with some terrible winter weather.
"Heave is the vertical displacement of a vessel - that's how you measure the size of the waves," Mr Kennedy said.
"We record it, and you correct for it when computing the bathymetric depth. The biggest heave we've had so far is 13m. That's a big wave.
"Fortunately, the vessel has anti-roll tanks, which push water from side to side inside the ship with great big pumps, and that helps tremendously.
"To get a clean map of the sea floor, we must know the attitude of the ship very accurately, to 0.02 of a degree."
The Malaysian plane was lost on 8 March as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, carrying 239 people.
Its disappearance has become one the biggest mysteries in aviation history.
The best information investigators have for its whereabouts come for a series of brief satellite communications with the jet during its flight.
The last of these connections suggests MH370 crashed into the water inside the "high priority" search zone now being surveyed by the Dutch and Chinese vessels.

Dr Leonard P. Annectens was bought at a local pet shop and given to Bristol University's earth science department for research purposes, in 2004.
The faculty said he had mentored students and published some "high impact" papers.
PhD student Frances Boreham, said he was a "grumpy member of staff" but "we're all pretty sad about his death".
The much-loved lungfish was given the honorary title of Dr Leonard after proving a hit with students.
His illustrious career saw the 60cm (23in) long "living fossil" named on a number of published papers, make several successful World Cup predictions, and even become engaged to Acanthostega Gunnari - an extinct fish at Cambridge University.
His own Twitter profile described him as "passionate about prawns and science."
Sadly last week Ms Boreham found the West African lungfish (Protopterus annectens) "nose down and tail up" in his tank.
"He was a pretty old lung fish - upwards of 30 or 40 - and he didn't make it," she said.
"And he died intestate but in line with what we think were his wishes, his body has been donated to science."
As a memorial to Leonard, his body is being scanned and a 3D print created of his skeleton which will be held in the department.
Dr Leonard announced his own passing on Facebook thus: "With a final flick of my tail, I bid you all a fond farewell."
Students and professors have taken to social media to express their grief.
Prof Mike Benton, tweeted that the death of "our distinguished colleague" had been the "most shocking news".
While, Catherine Draper said the department "will never be the same" and Genette Ellis said simply: "Oh no! I thought he was immortal".
The spat began on Tuesday, when YouTube's chief business officer Robert Kyncl posted a blog highlighting the site's contribution to the industry.
He said YouTube had distributed $1bn in advertising royalties alone, arguing that "free" streaming was as important as subscription sites like Spotify.
But record labels were not impressed.
"Google has issued more unexplained numbers on what it claims YouTube pays the music industry," said a spokesperson for the global music body, the IFPI.
"The announcement gives little reason to celebrate, however. With 800 million music users worldwide, YouTube is generating revenues of just over $1 per user for the entire year.
"This pales in comparison to the revenue generated by other services, ranging from Apple to Deezer to Spotify. For example, in 2015 Spotify alone paid record labels some $2bn, equivalent to an estimated $18 per user."
In his blog post, Mr Kyncl conceded that the current model was not perfect, arguing: "There is a lot of work that must be done by YouTube and the industry as a whole.
"But we are excited to see the momentum," he added.
The music industry has targeted YouTube - and other free streaming sites - as their villains du jour.
They say YouTube does not pay a fair rate to musicians and record labels, and is slow to police illegal and pirated material uploaded by its users - a claim which YouTube disputes.
The rhetoric intensified this year as YouTube's licensing agreements with the three major record labels - Sony, Warner and Universal - came up for renewal.
The industry has also pushed for reforms to the "safe harbour" laws, which mean YouTube and other similar sites cannot be penalised when users upload copyrighted material - including full albums - provided they remove it on request.
Artists like Lady Gaga, Sir Paul McCartney, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay and Abba have all written to the US Congress asking for the law to be changed.
YouTube recently hired former Warner Music executive Lyor Cohen as its head of music, a move which was widely interpreted as an attempt to smooth relations with the music industry.
He took up his post on Monday, 24 hours before Kyncl's blog post was published.
However, the IFPI has maintained its position, saying in a statement that YouTube is still "not paying artists and producers anything like a fair rate for music".
It continued: "This highlights more than ever the need for legislative action to address the 'value gap' that is denying music rights holders a fair return for their work."

Andre Ayew fired wide from six yards before Asamoah Gyan headed in the opener as Ghana started well.
Mali's Moussa Marega missed two good chances with a header and a shot, and Razak Brimah superbly saved Kalifa Coulibaly's volley late on.
The win puts Ghana into the last-eight with a game to spare, while Mali must beat Uganda to keep their hopes alive.
Egypt need a point against Ghana in the last round of Group D games to join them in the quarter-finals, after the Pharaohs knocked out Uganda.
It could have been very different for Mali had they taken some of the chances they created in the second half.
As well as those misses from Marega and Coulibaly, Mali threatened with efforts from Salif Coulibaly, who drove just wide, and Hamari Traore, whose 20-yard volley was not far away from the top corner.
They also had a last-gasp appeal for a penalty turned down.
Ghana, who were in total control in the first half, were run ragged after the interval - and their split-personality performance will be a major concern for coach Avram Grant.
Mali must find a way to finish off their opportunities - they have yet to score at the tournament - if they are to have any chance of avoiding a group-stage exit.
The Ghana skipper became his country's all-time top scorer in the competition with eight goals, overtaking Osei Kofi. He is also the first player to score at six consecutive Nations Cup finals.
Gyan and his team-mates celebrated his goal with a choreographed dance routine and the striker then held up a t-shirt which carried on it a get well message for Baba Rahman, who is out of the tournament because of injury.

New admissions to the home Dunmurry Manor have been suspended.
The Trust said the investigation was ordered following complaints over standards of care and "a number of concerns raised about the home."
In a letter to families of relatives living in Dunmurry Manor, the South Eastern Trust said:
"We were concerned to learn of this and have taken immediate action to investigate and remedy the situation."
"To assure ourselves that care provided is appropriate and to the standard expected we are ensuring that all residents have a care review undertaken with their care manager, family and staff at Dunmurry Manor."
The Trust told the BBC it wanted to hear from anyone whose relatives stayed there over the past 12 months as part of its investigation.
The owners, an Essex based company called Runwood Homes, described Dunmurry Manor as "work in progress" and said "visiting professionals have in recent weeks recognised positive changes there".
Dunmurry Manor is a 76-bed care home for the elderly which includes looking after residents with dementia.
It has emerged there was a previous investigation there last October when admissions were also suspended for a period.
West Belfast woman Julieann McNally complained to the trust about the care her grandmother, Annie McCourt, received as a resident.
Following a fall on 19 June, the resident's family was not informed for nine hours.
"My grandmother was 89 years old, had Alzheimer's and dementia," said Ms McNally.
"It was totally unacceptable. I should have been informed immediately."
Mrs McCourt did not return to the home from hospital and when her family went back to retrieve her clothing a month later they had to sift through a skip marked "dirty laundry."
"We were told to go through that and look for what we could find that belonged to her.
"We weren't given gloves or aprons. We were disgusted to be honest, absolutely disgusted," said Ms McNally.
The owners of the care home acknowledged to the family that the incident over the laundry and the delay in contacting them about the fall were both unacceptable.
In addition to this current investigation by the Trust, Dunmurry Manor is also subject to enforcement action from the body that regulates care homes the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority.
It has been given until next month to comply with certain regulations.
Managing Director of Runwood Homes Logan Logeswaran said: "Runwood Homes have already met with the South East Health and Social Care Trust and the Trust are carrying out individual resident reviews.
"This is continuing without major disruption to the care home.
"With regard to Dunmurry, a new manager has been appointed recently and is working very closely with the care home staff, Local Authority and other healthcare professionals.
"The manager has also held a relatives meeting and relatives were reassured and updated on the planned action and progress to date.
"The new Home Manager also reviewed all communication between care home staff and relatives/next of kin, maintaining good relationships with all stakeholders to promote excellent care for the residents who live at Dunmurry," he said.
A spokesperson for the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA) said: "In October 2016, during an unannounced care inspection at Dunmurry manor house nursing home, RQIA identified a number of concerns regards the care, staffing and governance arrangements at the home.
"As a result of these concerns, RQIA issued three notices of failure to comply with regulations, which set the out the actions required by Dunmurry Manor to achieve compliance with nursing home regulations by early January.
"The safety and wellbeing of every patient at Dunmurry Manor is of paramount importance to RQIA and we will continue to monitor this home through our ongoing regulatory and inspection activities."
The Brains Kids, from the Chiba Institute of Technology, beat rivals ZJUDancer, from China's Zhejian University, 1-0.
The division contained England's only team of custom-built robots to qualify for the humanoid football play-offs.
But the University of Hertfordshire's Bold Hearts were defeated 2-0 in the second round by a French side.
The Robocup had a variety of categories to cater for different kinds of robot footballer.
China's Team Water was victorious in the Middle league for non-humanoid robots, beating Tech United, from the University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
Many of the humanoid competition's rules had been changed for 2015, to make the game more difficult.
This year, the humanoids had to chase a white ball - harder to spot than the previous red one, and the playing surface had been changed to soft artificial turf, which caused stability problems for some of the teams.
The UK's Bold Hearts had hoped to improve their ranking after coming second in their division at the 2014 competition in Brazil.
The team blamed their goalless exit on "the aforementioned stability challenges, rather than high level defensive tactics", in a post on their blog.
Robocup has been running since 1997, and now more than 40 countries take part.
The competition is designed to drive innovation in the robotics industry, with the ultimate aim to hold a humans-versus-robots football match by 2050. | The man who was once China's top football referee has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years in jail for taking bribes to fix matches.

Cruise Scotland's forecast follows a record-breaking season in 2015 when Scottish ports welcomed 460,546 visitors and 501 cruise ships.
It expects more than 525,000 passengers on 644 vessels this year.
Among the ships planning to visit is a Disney Magic cruise, on its first round-Britain voyage.
It is due to call at Greenock, Kirkwall and Invergordon.
Cruise Scotland chairman Victor Sandison said: "The continuing growth shows the increasing popularity of Scotland as a destination in a highly-competitive global market.
"This year's estimated passenger count of over 525,000 will take us around halfway to the annual target of 1.1 million by 2029 - a figure identified in a study carried out in 2010 when there were just over 268,000 cruise visitors.
"Breaking half-a-million passengers will be a great achievement for all involved in marketing, port services and providing a great welcome, from harbours and shops to visitor attractions." | The number of cruise passengers heading to Scotland is set to top 500,000 for the first time this year, according to an industry marketing body. | 35,774,283 | 214 | 29 | false |

The empty Quebec Barracks in Whitehill Bordon were released early by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and bought by the Homes and Communities Agency.
It is part of a wider programme to build environmentally sustainable homes and create jobs.
Remaining Army personnel are set to leave the site by the end of 2015.
The land is currently used for training by the Bordon Garrison and about 1,500 jobs will be lost when the MoD relocates to RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire.
But East Hampshire District Council hopes 100 new jobs will be created in this initial step towards building a large "eco-business park", with further employment to follow.
Building work is expected to start in 2014 and be completed by the end of 2015.
Whitehill Bordon was one of six areas selected in 2009 for the government's zero-carbon project intended to meet housing needs and tackle climate change.
Up to three new primary schools, early years centres and a modern public transport system are also among the proposals for the "eco-town".
Col David Ansell said: "These barracks have been empty for several years and it is really exciting that the site is about to be given a new lease of life and be regenerated to provide homes and jobs.
"We feel that it is important to start releasing sites as they become available because it means that the local economy will be more buoyant when we completely leave the town by the end of 2015."
"He's one of those that listens," Crewe boss Steve Davis told BBC Radio Stoke. "He's got the bit between his teeth.
"I asked him to come in during close season, although his family are quite a way away. He was prepared to do that."
The 24-year-old, who made his 100th appearance for the Alex in Saturday's 2-1 win at Stevenage, will become a free agent in the summer of 2017.
The League Two club are keen to get his future secured before then, with Davis saying he first spoke to Guthrie about a new deal at the end of last season, when he also talked about doing some extra training.
"He's seeing the reward now," added Davis. "He can't fail to have caught the eye of anyone who has watched him.
"He's done well from where he's come from. It's taken us four seasons now but he's now played 100 games at left-back and left-side central defender too, and I think he is intelligent enough as a footballer to be used in front of the back four, where he can collect it and play."
Guthrie joined the Alex in February 2012 after being spotted in his native Wiltshire playing for Wessex League Division One side Pewsey Vale.
Crewe Alexandra manager Steve Davis was talking to BBC Radio Stoke sports editor Graham McGarry.
Some clients have told the BBC they've had their betting accounts closed or their bets "restricted" following wins.
Bookmakers say they limit bets from a minority of customers to ensure good odds are available to everyone.
Neil Smith, a teacher from Yorkshire, says he's had around 450 online accounts closed. One bookmaker restricted the amount he could bet, and only allowed a 10 pence bet on a 4/1 horse. He said: "They will just say: 'Sorry our traders have deemed your betting pattern to be unprofitable and we're a business'.
"They shouldn't be advertising a product that's not available to everybody. The flipside of this is they are trying to squeeze money out of people who they are know are profitable. If you're good, you can't win long-term, it's as simple as that."
Campaigners are calling for the gambling authorities in the UK to force bookmakers to accept all bets up to a limit - a move which has recently been imposed on bookmakers in Australia - and make it clear to all players that restrictions may be imposed.
Peter Ling runs the Secret Betting Club, an independent gambling advice service. He says the bookmakers are using ever more sophisticated IT to identify likely winners, and is campaigning for a more equal playing field.
"Five years ago it used to be a badge of honour for serious punters to be restricted, and you would have to win some substantial sums to get a letter or email like that," he said. "But these days it's all too common.
"And it's not just people like me or my members, but your regular Joe Punters who are having the occasional bet, and are having some success, are finding themselves restricted."
He surveyed his 850 members to find out who had accounts closed or "restricted" to a small percentage of the stake they wanted to wager. Three quarters of respondents reported that one company sought to regularly restrict bets to a few pounds. Half said another firm had closed their accounts.
5 Live Investigates spoke to gamblers who suspect sophisticated software programs which are used to combat fraud are also being used to track people's betting patterns online or check whether they are using comparison sites.
Two told the BBC they had accounts closed with one bookmaker before they'd even put a bet on. The Association of British Bookmakers said they were unable to comment on the allegation.
5 Live Investigates has been told some High Street shops are also on the alert to identify the smartest gamblers and restrict the bets they can put on.
Neil Smith says he has been banned. One shop told him it was because they'd had a handwriting expert compare his betting slips with previous winning bets.
One shop manager who wished to remain anonymous said the company encouraged staff to screen-out successful gamblers: "They grade. If they are a serious backer of horses and clearly know what they are doing with the odds then we don't want them at all - the orders are 'get rid of him or let him have a have a few quid on the starting price only'."
Customers have told 5 Live they believe the cooling attitude to those punters who follow the odds and apply mathematics to their wagers, is directly connected to the success of fixed-odds betting terminals and other casino-style games of chance online.
But the industry insists they are just trying to be fair to the ordinary punter by restricting a small number of what they call "professional" gamblers.
The BBC asked firms about the practice of restricting bets but most declined to comment.
However, Paddy Power said it managed financial risk like all businesses and had a number of checks and restrictions in place to prevent certain bets being made.
"We take a 'one-for-all' rather than an 'all-for-one' view, so for instance if we're prepared to lose €2m (£1.5m) on an event, we would much prefer to lose €2,000 to 1,000 different customers rather than €2m to one individual," a spokesman said.
William Hill insisted the vast majority of their customers could bet what they like when they liked, but to provide competitive prices to its recreational customer base it sometimes restricted bets from a small minority of customers, mainly professional gamblers.
Other bookmakers declined to comment on their policies.

Mr O'Leary said he had failed to gain support in the French-speaking province of Quebec.
The Shark Tank and Dragons' Den star is now supporting prominent Quebec politician Maxime Bernier for leader.
Mr O'Leary has been likened to US President Donald Trump for his TV and business background and brash manner.
Mr O'Leary said on Wednesday his lack of popularity in Quebec made it near impossible to beat Canadian Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the next general election in 2019, even if he were to win his bid for leadership of the Conservatives.
Party members vote for a new leader on 27 May.
French-speaking Quebec is Canada's second most populous province, but Mr O'Leary spoke mostly English.
He skipped all the party's French-language candidate debates.
During the race, he faced criticism for skipping other debates and then popping up on US cable news.
He was also dinged for spending too much time in the US since launching his short-lived bid was launched in January.
Mr O'Leary said his US television punditry served Canadian interests.
"I am probably the most known Canadian that's on American television, and I'm going to talk about what we mean to Americans and how we should be considered in trade wars," he said.
There are 13 other contenders left in the crowded race to replace former Conservative leader Stephen Harper, who stepped down as party leader in November 2015 after losing the federal election to the Trudeau Liberals.
Mr O'Leary, a millionaire businessman, was seen as a self-promoting political outsider with no experience in elected office.
He has taken to referring to Mr Trudeau as a "surfer dude" on Twitter.
His support for Maxime Bernier, a former foreign affairs minister and free-market libertarian, may give him a big boost in a crowded race.
The party says it has sold an estimated 150,000 new party memberships since January, with Quebec support driving growth.
The Times Higher Education survey not only assessed learning and teaching but included campus facilities, industry connections and cheap amenities.
Loughborough University came second, with last year's winner, the University of Sheffield, dropping to third place.
Almost 14,700 full-time undergraduates took part in the survey.
The University of Bath, which was in second position last year, teaches more than 11,000 undergraduates.
John Gill, editor of Times Higher Education, said: "One of the aims of the government's higher education reforms was to increase competition between universities and intensify the focus on the student experience.
"Our survey, which is now in its 10th year, is perfectly placed to track what this has meant in practice, and which universities are performing particularly well in specific areas - whether in teaching and learning, or areas such as the standard of facilities, in which many institutions have been investing heavily."
The University of Cambridge came fourth, followed by the University of Oxford.
The University of Surrey and Newcastle University have now joined the top 10, while the University of Nottingham, University of Dundee and Durham University made an exit.
The survey was conducted in conjunction with specialist youth market research agency YouthSight.
This is because it has always been accused of being one of the most untransformed academic institutions in post-apartheid South Africa, and for decades was regarded as the heart of Afrikanerdom.
The town itself is the second-oldest European settlement in the Western Cape and was named after Simon van der Stel, who was a governor of the Dutch Cape Colony.
White supremacists such as John Vorster, a former apartheid prime minister, studied at the university.
It was a little enclave protecting the interests of the architects of apartheid - and by extension the language of the oppressor, Afrikaans. It was exactly this use of the language which sparked the 1976 student uprisings in Soweto.
Dropping Afrikaans means that, psychologically and symbolically, the walls of apartheid are still crumbling 21 years after racial segregation was officially removed from the statute books.
Many black students felt unwelcomed at a university in their own country of birth.
The very word apartheid, which has now been internationalised and is in the Oxford Dictionary, is in fact an Afrikaans word.
The language is still spoken by millions but this move will make the many more millions who do not speak it feel welcomed in one of the best academic institutions on the African continent.

This is a victory for this generation, says Sechaba Dan Montsisi, one of the leaders of the 1976 uprising and an MP for more than 20 years.
However, Mr Montsisi said they must not stop at language only.
"They must look at changing the curriculum and make sure that it is designed to help us as a developmental state, instead of bench-marking itself against European universities."
"We are not against Afrikaans. We accepted it as an indigenous language because it was formed from African languages combined with German, [French] and Dutch," he added.
The reinforcement of the institutionalisation of Afrikaans by the apartheid government when they came into power in 1948 was in part a continuation of the Anglo-Boer War.
The Afrikaners were expressing their desire to free themselves from the domination of British colonisation and therefore from being forced to speak English.
How ironic that 67 years later, the headquarters of Afrikaans drops it for English but this time for the greater good of all South Africa's people.
The pro-Afrikaner civil rights group AfriForum is not happy.
Its deputy head Alana Bailey described the move as discriminatory.
"It is clear the [University of Stellenbosch] management cannot even be trusted to maintain the partial presentation, but wants to make an effort to further marginalise Afrikaans and discriminating even more drastically against Afrikaans-speaking students," she said in a statement.
However, the final say lies with the university's council that will make a decision on 30 November.
It may face fierce opposition but is likely to be passed.
The incident happened after Derry City lost 2-1 to Dundalk in an FAI Cup semi-final replay at Brandywell Stadium.
There are reports a Dundalk supporters' bus was vandalised during the trouble that happened outside the grounds.
Police have yet to confirm the incident. Derry City have yet to comment.
Derry councillors have condemned the attack.
Councillor Gary Donnelly said a group of Dundalk fans were cornered by a gang of youths outside a pub on the Lecky Road.
"When I arrived the crowd had dispersed and the Dundalk fans' mini-bus, which had been attacked, had been repaired and they were about to leave the area but they were visibly shaken," he said.
Mr Donnelly told BBC Radio Foyle that the supporters' mini-bus had its tyres slashed and graffiti sprayed on windows.
"Residents told me that after the game a number of Dundalk fans were making their way back to the bus when one of them was assaulted.
"A young boy of about 14-years-old was hit on the back of the head with a bottle before locals intervened and the four guys ran off."
Sinn Féin councillor Patricia Logue, who lives in the area, said extra security may now be needed during match nights.
"This is criminal behaviour by youths who are causing mayhem in our community," she said.
"The people of the Brandywell, the visiting fans, Derry City Football Club, do not want this happening in the area.
"The residents are distraught and extra security will be one of the topics I'll be talking about to the relevant agencies today."
The cartoon, which Mr Trump deleted after tweeting, depicts the cable network logo being run over by a "Trump Train" symbolising his supporters.
The president also apparently accidentally retweeted a post by someone calling him "a fascist".
Mr Trump is in New York where he faces a second day of protests.
White House officials told NBC the train image - captioned "Fake news can't stop the Trump Train" - had been "inadvertently posted" and when "noticed it was immediately deleted".
In another presumably unintentional retweet, the US president shared - and then also deleted - a post by someone who said of him: "He's a fascist, so not unusual."
The Twitter user, @MikeHolden, had been commenting on a Fox report saying that Mr Trump could be planning to pardon Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was found guilty in July of racially profiling Hispanic people.
Mr Holden, of Burnley, England, promptly changed his Twitter bio to read: "Officially Endorsed by the President of the United States. I wish that were a good thing."
Asked by the BBC if he thinks the "endorsement" ended when Mr Trump deleted the tweet he laughed and said: "Oh, absolutely. I don't think he really meant to endorse it.
"I don't think he intended to say, 'yup, that's me, the big ol' fascist!'"
"I'm an internet nobody!" added Mr Holden, a 53-year-old IT consultant, adding the response has been "absolutely bananas".
"It's rare you get that kind of attention from the president, isn't it?" Mr Holden added.
Mr Trump has drawn criticism from both ends of the political spectrum since Saturday's so-called Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a woman was killed.
Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old counter-protester and 19 other people were injured when a car rammed the crowd. A 20-year-old man is facing murder and other charges.
Mr Trump did not immediately condemn the white supremacists, instead blaming "many sides" for "hatred, bigotry, and violence" in the university town.
On Monday he sought to clarify his views, denouncing the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis by name.
But in the process he took a moment to demean a CNN reporter.
Asked by journalist Jim Acosta why he had waited so long to condemn the hate groups, Mr Trump responded: "I like real news, not fake news."
Pointing the finger at the White House correspondent, he added: "You are fake news."
Mr Trump frequently targets the so-called "fake news media" in tweets to his nearly 36 million followers.
In May he shared a clip of himself pummelling professional wrestler with a CNN logo superimposed on his face.
Late on Monday, Mr Trump also retweeted a post from an account linked to one of his supporters known for fuelling conspiracy theories, such as "Pizzagate".
The post by Jack Posobiec linked to a story from an ABC affiliate and said: "Meanwhile: 39 shootings in Chicago this weekend, 9 deaths. No national media outrage. Why is that?"
The Pizzagate conspiracy theory claimed Hillary Clinton's campaign chief was running a paedophile ring out of a pizza parlour in Washington.
Mr Trump awoke for the first time as president in Trump Tower on Tuesday, tweeting that it "feels good to be home".
He arrived at the Manhattan skyscraper on Monday night amid throngs of protesters calling for his impeachment.
Three people were arrested, and police expect further demonstrations on Tuesday.
Late-night show hosts turned their fire on Mr Trump on Monday night.
The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon, who usually avoids political polemic, rebuked the president.
"The fact that it took the president two days to clearly denounce racists and white supremacists is shameful," Mr Fallon said on his NBC show.

All fixtures are subject to change. BBC is not responsible for any changes.
It is a tough balancing act between getting the players ready for that new campaign and exploiting sponsorship opportunities, says football finance expert Rob Wilson.
"Last year, China seemed to be the significant market and a lot of teams focused on that - but the North American market is the one the teams have been looking at this summer, largely because of sponsorship values," Wilson told BBC Sport.
"The clubs will be looking to pick up affluent sponsors and there is a nice alignment between American brands and sponsorship deals for the clubs to exploit."
Wilson, from Sheffield Hallam University, says it is difficult to get the right pre-season training while reaping the financial benefits of a tour.
"The choice of friendlies in Germany and Austria is about season preparation being at the forefront of clubs' minds, rather than looking for sponsorship deals," he said.
"Arsenal have always been very good at that in the past - putting football first. Others are much more focused on commercial drive.
"When you look at Manchester United, they are heavily sponsored by American companies.
"It also ties in with the increased interest in MLS. The infrastructure is already in place, the stadiums are there and fans' interest is there. Clubs already have associations with football in America.
"In the Far East it is more difficult to sort out, logistically, so clubs have to work much harder to make a success of a tour."
He says the focus has switched slightly this summer.
"Clubs do tend to work on a cyclical basis - there was a lot of activity in the Far East last year. I was half expecting teams to do some work in Japan this summer, especially a club like Chelsea, who have their Yokohama shirt deal.," he adds.
"But maybe it is because China are concentrating much more on the Chinese Super League, so there is a bit of a conflict and the tours would not get as much attention.
"In terms of other countries - such as Africa - there are problems of infrastructure. It is getting to the point, though, where a club might need to do something different."
Former QPR midfielder Bradley Simmonds is a fitness coach to players including former Chelsea and England captain John Terry and Arsenal forward Theo Walcott. He says there are some benefits to the long-distance travelling.
"Lots of teams go to different countries to experience playing against different sides, so if they come to play in the Champions League they are used to playing against a range of top sides," he said.
"Obviously the travelling is going to take its toll, but the staff at these clubs know what they're doing. Jet lag can cause a problem, but coaches and medical staff will make sure the players get enough rest.
"You can become stiff during long-haul flights especially after training, so your body needs to recover. But these players travel first class on flights so they will be able to stretch their legs and get rest."
While the clubs might be looking at the financial benefits, Simmonds says the players will be solely focused on their fitness.
"They'll be looking to get lots of game time, even players who may not play regularly during the season will play in as many games as possible.
"It's all about strength and conditioning, making sure the core and glutes have been worked on.
"They've had four or five weeks off so they need to get the brain switched on. The players that have been drinking or not looking after their body quite as much as maybe they should need to get back into it."

The company described the new platform as its most significant product launch since HD and "a new way to watch TV".
The package will comprise a set-top box and a "super premium package" and will be separate from Sky's Now TV on-demand service.
Experts questioned what it would cost as Sky has not revealed pricing for the product.
Sky's Andrew Olson told Rory Cellan-Jones that it was a new "premium" offering.
The plea follows an EU announcement on Thursday that member states should be allowed to send some asylum seekers back to Greece from March 2017.
Under EU rules, the first country of entry usually handles an asylum seeker's claim.
But that system collapsed in 2015 when Greece was overwhelmed by new arrivals.
Most of the more than one million people who entered Europe last year did so through Greece, travelling from Turkey.
The numbers were so large that thousands were reported to have been allowed into the country without having their documents properly processed.
Other EU countries in response closed their borders, stranding about 62,000 migrants in Greece, which has found it difficult to provide them all with proper accommodation.
In a letter to the EU interior ministers and the EU Commission on Friday, Greek Migration Minister Yiannis Mouzalas said that migrant over-population remained a big problem on islands such as Lesbos and Chios in the Aegean Sea.
The letter said the Greek government believed that migrants from countries where there is a slim chance of getting asylum - Pakistan, Morocco and Algeria - should be transferred to "pre-removal centres in the mainland" where they will be kept under tight security before being returned to Turkey.
It says that such action "will only be short term" and will not affect those who have refugee status.
"Your support is requested to make the... emergency action possible, to help decongest the islands smoothly, effectively and immediately," the letter says.
Precise figures are difficult to obtain, but in November it was estimated that about 16,000 asylum seekers were living in camps on Greek islands.
There has been a dramatic fall in the numbers of migrants making hazardous boat journeys across the Aegean from Turkey to the Greek islands since March, when the EU signed a deal with Turkey to curb the influx.
But the processing of asylum claims is very slow and tensions have risen between migrants and local residents. In many cases, migrants are sheltering in squalid conditions in 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.
Between 2007 and 2015 wages in the UK fell by 10.4%, a drop equalled only by Greece, the analysis by the TUC found.
Women's pay in particular needs to be boosted, the union body said. Women earn on average 19.2% less than men, according to the latest official data.
The Treasury said the TUC's analysis did not fully reflect living standards.
The UK is the joint biggest faller on pay in 29 countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) - a forum for wealthy countries who work together to promote financial growth and social wellbeing.
The UK, Greece and Portugal were the only three OECD countries that saw real wages fall, according to the research complied by the TUC.
Over the same eight-year period real wages grew in Poland by 23%, in Germany by 14% and in France by 11%, the TUC found. As an average real wages increased in OECD countries as a whole by 6.7%.
Real wages is a term used for wages that have been adjusted for inflation over time.
"We need to boost pay across the board, particularly for the one in four women still facing low pay," said Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the TUC, a federation of trade unions in England and Wales.
"Wages fell off the cliff after the financial crisis and have barely begun to recover," she added.
She said people could not afford another hit to their pay packets, and that working people should not foot the bill for a Brexit downturn.
Hannah Jongsma, 27, earns around £1,100 a month.
She says the idea of her buying a house is "distant notion" and admits that life has become a "hand-to-mouth existence".
Hannah, who is originally from the Netherlands and previously worked for the British Medical Association for three years, is now studying for a PhD in psychiatry at Cambridge University and her rent alone eats up more than half of her regular monthly allowance.
"We are living in a different age," she says.
"In terms of employment, permanent contracts for example have become so rare... temporary contracts basically mean you cannot plan for the future in the same way."
Conor D'Arcy, a policy analyst for the Resolution Foundation - a non-partisan think tank that looks at ways of improving living standards for Britons on low and middle incomes - said the financial climate had been particularly harsh for "millennials" like Hannah.
He said: "The UK has experienced the most prolonged pay squeeze in over a century in wake of the financial crisis, with young people feeling the biggest pay squeeze of all."
Millennials - people aged 34 and under - earned £8,000 less over the course of their 20s compared to the generation before them, he added.
A Treasury spokesman said the TUC's analysis ignored the fact that since the financial crisis the UK's employment rate had grown more than any country in the G7 - which is the world's leading seven industrialised nations.
"Living standards have reached their highest level and wages continue to rise faster than prices - and will be helped by the new National Living Wage," he said.
"But there is more to do to build an economy and country that works for everyone not just a privileged few, and we are determined to do exactly that."

Stockport MP Ann Coffey is calling for the creation of a list of children who are regularly not at school.
It could be used by children's services and police to identify those at risk.
The government said 9,135 and 4,955 children respectively were persistently absent from secondary and primary schools in Greater Manchester in 2012.
Ms Coffey said: "It's really important that local authorities and schools work together to identify if any of those children, while they are missing, are at risk of coming to harm, including sexual exploitation."
She said central "persistent absence lists" could be cross-referenced by police, education welfare officers and children's services to spot patterns of local child sexual exploitation.
The idea would mean "we can identify children who are at risk and intervene early on in their lives to prevent them actually coming to harm," she added.
In November, Ofsted inspected eight local authorities that had issues with child sexual exploitation and found only one had kept an absence record.
"The fact that there was such as list made it possible to combine and analyse data in order to identify trends and patterns and explore possible links to child sexual exploitation or gang related activity," the report said.
In October, Ms Coffey said exploitation was an "ongoing problem" in a report commissioned by Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Tony Lloyd.
It assessed improvements in protecting youngsters after nine men were jailed in 2012 for running a child sexual abuse ring in Heywood and Rochdale.
There are new faces in the dugout and on the pitch, new rules to grasp and shows to watch - plus the arrival of the most expensive player in the world.
If you've been busy this summer and taken your eye off the ball, don't worry. By the time you've finished this piece you'll be bang up to speed ahead of the big kick-off.
The Premier League won't be short of egos this season.
Jose Mourinho has taken over at Manchester United and signed former Paris St-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and £89m Paul Pogba - while across town former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola is the new man in charge of Manchester City.
The other new managers to keep an eye on are David Moyes at Sunderland, Antonio Conte at Chelsea, Claude Puel at Southampton, Ronald Koeman at Everton and Walter Mazzarri at Watford.
Chop, change, chop, change. Appoint, sack, repeat.
The level of managerial experience in the dugouts lurches from one extreme to another in the Premier League this season.
Eight managers are set to take charge of their sides for the first time in the top flight this weekend - Mourinho, Conte, Guardiola, Aitor Karanka, Ronald Koeman, Puel, Moyes, and Mazzarri.
Untested? Yes - but also unbeaten...
In addition, Hull City will have caretaker Mike Phelan in charge for their first game back in the Premier League.
There were just three new boys on the first day of last season, with six in 2012-13 the most recent until now.
Arsene Wenger's total of 752 Premier League games in charge of Arsenal dwarves the rest of the Premier League, with 12 managers racking up just 236 games between them. That's an average of 19.6 games each.
So, Pogba is back at Old Trafford just four years after the 23-year-old midfielder left United for Juventus for £1.5m - that's a cool £87.5m profit for the Italian champions.
Shortly after that deal was announced in the early hours of Tuesday morning, John Stones was named in Manchester City's official Champions League squad, published on the Uefa website before City confirmed that the 22-year-old England international had indeed joined for £47.5m.

Ibrahimovic, Switzerland's Granit Xhaka, Belgium's Michy Batshuayi, Germany's Leroy Sane, Armenia's Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pogba - some big names of European football have arrived in the Premier League this summer.
And we can expect a few more yet.
At the end of July, before Pogba's record arrival and Stones' move to City - and exactly one month before the close of the 2016 summer transfer window - Premier League gross spending stood at £475m according to Deloitte's Sports Business Group.
That was actually slightly down on £515m at the same stage last year.
One significant transfer that you may have missed is the return to these shores of Alex Manninger.
The 39-year-old goalkeeper was signed by Liverpool this summer a huge 14 years after leaving Arsenal.
He made 39 Premier League appearances for the Gunners, winning the double in 1998.
If Manninger plays in the league this season - and with fellow new signing Loris Karius injured, he is currently backup to Simon Mignolet - he will set a record for the longest gap between Premier League appearances.
But he would not be the current player with the longest Premier League career. Stoke keeper Shay Given made his Premier League debut for Blackburn against the mighty Wimbledon on 14 December 1996. He last featured on the last day of last season. Still going strong...
Yes, it did really happen.
Three months on, it still hasn't sunk in for many that Leicester City really are the defending Premier League champions. Their whole lives were a 5,000-1 shot eh?
But how will they go on this season?
One of their holy trinity of star players - N'Golo Kante - has left but Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy remain and the Foxes have a Champions League campaign to look forward to this year.
And if the history books are anything to go by, then they certainly won't lose their opening game against Hull on Saturday lunchtime.
The defending Premier League champions have never lost their opening game the following season. In fact, the defending champions have won all but four games on the opening weekend.
Last season Chelsea drew 2-2 with Swansea - a game that was marked by the fallout between Jose Mourinho and physio Eva Carneiro - and in 2008 Manchester United drew 1-1 with Newcastle.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side were also held by Reading 12 months earlier, and after winning their treble in 1999 United drew with Everton.
Guardiola's Manchester City side are favourites at the bookies, while Chelsea - not in Europe this season - could have an advantage.
If Leicester retain their title it would be the seventh time the feat has been achieved, while Chelsea's 10th-placed finish last season is the worst defence.
Saturday & Sunday - Premier League. Monday - Premier League. Tuesday & Wednesday - Champions League. Thursday - Europa League.
And now Friday - Premier League
Yes, the set is now complete and there never need be a day of the week without live football again. Live Premier League matches on a Friday night are perhaps the biggest change to the top-flight season this year as a new £5bn TV deal kicks in.
Under the new contract, 168 games will be shown live per season, at an average cost to the broadcasters of £10.2m per match.
The first Friday night game of the season comes on 19 August when Manchester United host Southampton, while Chelsea face Liverpool on 16 September.
The now sponsorless Premier League has a new logo to mark the new season, while there are some rule changes which kicked in on 1 June.
Kick-offs can now be taken backwards, a professional foul in the penalty area is not now necessarily a sending-off and players who feint to kick the ball once they have taken a run-up when taking a penalty will now get booked for unsporting behaviour.
But perhaps the most significant is red cards will be issued to players who confront match officials and use offensive language or make gestures towards them.
Finally, there is a new stadium to enjoy. Or endure.
The Olympic Stadium will be the 55th venue to host a Premier League match and new tenants West Ham will become the 10th Premier League club to play home games at two different stadiums.
The others?
Arsenal, Bolton, Derby, Fulham, Leicester, Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Southampton and Sunderland.
In the summer of 1996 Alan Shearer became the world's most expensive footballer when he joined Newcastle from Blackburn for £15m.
Twenty years on and the same fee will barely stretch to a promising youngster. Bournemouth broke their transfer record this summer to spend that on Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe.
Between them, Premier League clubs have signed close to 20 players for fees of £15m or more so far this summer.
Of course, you don't need to spend £15m to sign a player who can make a real impact in the Premier League. There have been some impressive signings for less than that this summer.
Stoke paid £13m for Liverpool and Wales midfielder Joe Allen, who you may have heard was in the Euro 2016 team of the tournament. The former Swansea player could excel as a regular starter, he only started eight Premier League games last season.
Wales team-mate Ashley Williams also looks very good value after joining Everton from Swansea for £12m. A drop in the ocean these days.
Nathan Redmond feels like he hasn't reached his true potential yet but Southampton paid £10m to take him from Norwich and, based on their record in the past five years, he will be a £30m player by 2018. Likewise for their £12.8m midfield signing from Bayern Munich, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
But the Saints did lose a player who had 12 months left on his deal for a cut-price fee - midfield enforcer Victor Wanyama joining Tottenham for £11m.
Manchester City paid £13.8m to get regular La Liga scorer Nolito, who notched double figures in Spain's top flight for the past three seasons despite being a winger (14 in 13-14, 13 in 14-15 and 12 in an injury-hit 15-16). Barcelona also wanted to sign the Spain international.
Leicester have paid £7.5m for Euro 2016 star Bartosz Kapustka, a 19-year-old winger, while Everton paid £7m for Idrissa Gana, the Villa midfielder who had better passing stats than N'Golo Kante in the Premier League last season.
Even if we look at the cheaper (by Premier League standards) players who cost £2m or less there are some potential stars. Crystal Palace have paid a reported £1.5m to get the four-time French Ligue 1 goalkeeper of the year, Marseille legend Steve Mandanda. At 31, the France international has time to establish himself as one of the Premier League's top keepers.
Stoke have paid up to £5m to get 19-year-old Egyptian winger Ramadan Sobhi, who has already made 71 first-team appearances for Al Ahly. West Ham have got a potential star in Sofiane Feghouli, who they picked up from Valencia. The 26-year-old Algeria winger has had disciplinary problems but on his day can be unplayable.
There has never been a better time to join the Premier League party as the £5.136bn TV deal starts this summer, although there is a clear hierarchy of who is best placed to do well.
Middlesbrough's nine signings have included some big names, including Euro 2012 winners Alvaro Negredo and Victor Valdes. They spent £12m on Atalanta midfielder Marten de Roon, while attacking duo Viktor Fischer and Gaston Ramirez have also come in.
Burnley have brought in a handful of players - youngsters, loanees and Football League players - and Hull, well, where to start? In the week leading up to the Premier League opener, they had no manager and 13 fit players. The squad is weaker than it was last season, with star midfielder Mo Diame heading to Newcastle and nobody of note coming in.
But how do promoted teams do generally?
Of the 71 promoted teams to play in the Premier League, 44% of them - 31 - have been immediately relegated. Or to give it a more positive spin, more than half of them stay up. The average finishing position is 15th.
None of Boro, Burnley or Hull can realistically hope to be the most successful promoted Premier League team - Newcastle (1993-94) and Nottingham Forest (1994-95), finished third.
Only twice have all three stayed up - 2001-02 and 2011-12 - and only once have they all gone down - 1997-98.
In recent years there has been an upturn in fortune for top-flight newbies and returnees. Since 2008-09, there has been only one season in which two of the three promoted clubs have gone straight back down (2014-15). In the five seasons prior to that, it happened four times (2003-04, 2004-05, 2006-07 and 2007-08).
Last season, Match of the Day host Gary Lineker promised to present the first show of the 2006-17 season in his pants if Leicester City won the title. Will the former England and Leicester striker be true to his word?

But that is far from the only thing to look out for this season - with football covered 24/7 on TV, radio and digital platforms.
The Premier League Show is the BBC's new midweek magazine programme -and will feature in-depth interviews with Premier League players. Gabby Logan will present the BBC Two show, which will call the National Football Museum in Manchester its home, while Gary Lineker will front a regular slot looking at some of the big current talking points.
The first show is on 25 August and will feature former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright while Lineker meets Liverpool' manager Jurgen Klopp.
And don't forget this season's FA Cup will once again be shown on the BBC, with 16 live matches and highlights of every round.
BBC Radio 5 live will have commentaries of 144 Premier League games - starting with Hull against Leicester on Saturday at 12:30 BST - while Jermaine Jenas will present The Friday Football Social, previewing all the weekend's action.
And the BBC Sport digital offer will be bigger than ever, with an improved predictor game, the new team selector, alerts and a more personalised service in addition to the staple diet of news, live coverage and analysis,

The ruling comes after BBC Scotland sought a copy of the report under Freedom of Information legislation.
The report was kept secret by Aberdeen City Council because it contained details of senior managers' conduct.
It was commissioned after the revelation that babies were being cremated with unrelated adults.
The ashes of both were being handed to relatives of the adult for scattering.
The report's remit included the role of the director responsible for the crematorium, Pete Leonard, who resigned.
He had been quoted as referring to "slow cooking" babies - comments for which he was heavily criticised.
BBC Scotland understands the conduct of Mr Leonard and his senior team was investigated, but not that of chief executive Angela Scott.
Personal details and the views of the report's author on the conduct of individuals can still be redacted because of the potential influence on any disciplinary actions.
But the local authority has been told it must publish the majority of the report by 1 September.
In a decision notice, the acting Information Commissioner Margaret Keyse is critical of the council which repeatedly changed its reasons for not making the report public.
She said: "The council's actions suggest it was intentionally trying to prevent [BBC Scotland] accessing information it could quite readily provide."
Aberdeen City Council had argued that some of the information contained within the report was already in the public domain but that the same information should be withheld because of the risk of prejudicing future investigations.
The ruling said the justifications for withholding the report were "wholly inadequate".
It went on to express concern that "disclosure of the information in full... would allow members of the public to draw their own (and possibly incorrect) conclusions regarding an individual's involvement in, or responsibility for, any failings at Hazlehead, in advance of any further investigations being carried out".
Aberdeen City Council further argued the level of intrusion into the private lives of individuals mentioned in the report was "unwarranted".
The commissioner accepted there was a public interest in publication because of the senior posts held by those who were being investigated.
She also dismissed a claim that publishing the report would "cause harm" to the council as "somewhat over-stated".
A spokesperson for the council said: "We have received initial notification from the Scottish Information Commissioner and the full decision will be considered in due course.
"We are committed to complying with the requirements in the timeframe specified by the SIC."
The council's internal inquiry followed an investigation by Dame Elish Angiolini into practices at crematoriums across Scotland.
The former Lord Advocate said the process of cremating bodies together may have been going on from 1967 until a change of management in 2011.
Her report said there was no overall strategic management of the crematorium by Aberdeen City Council and that the focus among officials was on budget rather than policy.
It said an Infant Cremation Commission led by Lord Bonomy was misled about practices taking place there.
The council has since apologised and compensation has been paid to dozens of affected parents.
Five family members died in March when their car went off Buncrana pier in County Donegal and into Lough Swilly.
Davitt Walsh, who was on the pier, swam to the car from which the four-month-old child was handed to him.
Mr Walsh, 30, from Kerrykeel, was awarded the Michael Heffernan Gold Medal for Marine Gallantry on Friday.
Presented by Irish Transport Minister Shane Ross, the honour was in recognition of the County Donegal man's "bravery at huge peril to his own safety to risk life, in an effort to save the life of a child".
Those who died were Ruth Daniels, 57, her daughter Jodie Lee Daniels, 14, Sean McGrotty, 49, and his sons Mark, 12, and Evan, eight.
They were the mother, sister, partner and two sons of Louise James, from Londonderry.
Mr Walsh, a former Irish League and League of Ireland footballer, managed to save baby Rionaghac-Ann.
He later said that he felt "terrible" that he could not do more.
The show, which opens at Tate Britain on Wednesday, is her first major London retrospective for almost 50 years.
It brings together more than 100 works including her earliest carvings, major sculptures and previously-unseen photos from her studio.
"I think there's more interest in her now than there was 25 to 30 years ago," said Tate director Penelope Curtis.
Hepworth, whose artistic career spanned five decades, was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, in 1903. Her love of landscape came from drives around West Riding with her father in the course of his work as county surveyor.
She was inspired to become a sculptor after seeing a slideshow of Egyptian art at school. She studied at Leeds School of Art from 1920-1921 where she first met fellow Yorkshire-born artist Henry Moore.
In 1949 Hepworth bought Trewyn Studio in St Ives where she lived until her death in an accidental fire in 1975 at the age of 72.
One of her best known works is Single Form (1961-4) a 6.4 metre-high bronze which stands outside the United Nations building in New York.
Curtis, who co-curated the Tate show, said one of its key aims was to emphasise Hepworth's prominence on the international art scene.
"People in Britain tend to think of her as a rather British artist," she told the BBC.
"Henry Moore has never been seen as a sculptor from Hertfordshire even though he was there for 40 years, but Barbara Hepworth has always been connected to St Ives. That's true - but it's not the whole story, so we felt that one major corrective we could make was to think about her internationally."
The exhibition opens with Hepworth's earliest surviving carvings, including Doves (1927), which appear alongside works by Moore and Hepworth's first husband John Skeaping.
It also features never-before-seen photo albums which offer an insight into her home and studio life with her second husband and fellow artist Ben Nicholson.
One corner of the exhibition tells the intriguing story of when, in 1947, Hepworth was one of six artists - including Henry Moore - invited by London County Council to submit designs for four monumental sculptures situated on Waterloo Bridge.
"Hepworth spent a great amount of time sitting on the bridge observing people as they went past," said Tate assistant curator Inga Fraser. "She was incredibly excited by the competition, which was plagued with difficulties from the very beginning."
Eventually, none of the submissions were accepted and the plinths remain empty to this day.
In the post-war period, Hepworth's sculptures became a prominent feature on the international scene.
The latter part of the exhibition reunites four large works in African hardwood guarea (1954-5) which many see as the high point of Hepworth's carving career. Each is named after places Hepworth visited on a trip to Greece after the death of her son, Paul Skeaping, in an RAF plane crash over Thailand.
The last room displays bronzes from her 1965 retrospective at the Kroller-Muller Museum in the Netherlands, with a partial reconstruction of the pavilion where they were shown.
At Monday's press launch, Curtis revealed that there had been a search across Europe to source the "right kind of brick" for the reconstructed pavilion.
However, the bricks were eventually obtained from a builders' merchant in Vauxhall - just a short hop across the Thames from Tate Britain.
Barbara Hepworth: Sculpture for a Modern World is at Tate Britain 24 June - 25 October 2015 (admission charge)- it tours to the Kroller-Muller Museum, Otterlo, this autumn and to the Arp Museum, Rolandseck, in Germany next year.
It means the shape of the cube alone is not enough to protect it from being copied.
UK company Seven Towns, which manages Rubik's Cube's intellectual property rights, registered its shape as a trademark in the 1990s.
But German firm Simba Toys challenged the trademark protection in 2006.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) agreed that the cube's ability to rotate should be protected by a patent and not a trademark.
Patents protect inventions for a certain amount of time, while trademarks give intellectual property owners exclusive rights to their designs.
Simba Toys took its case to the Luxembourg-based European Union Court of Justice (ECJ) after the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and a lower EU court had dismissed its lawsuit.
The ECJ judges ruled: "In examining whether registration ought to be refused on the ground that shape involved a technical solution, EUIPO and the General Court should also have taken into account non-visible functional elements represented by that shape, such as its rotating capability."
Rubik's Cube, which was invented in 1974 by Hungarian architecture professor Erno Rubik, has enduring popularity and has sold more than 400 million cubes worldwide.
Seven Towns registered the Rubik's Cube as a three-dimensional EU trademark with the EUIPO in 1999.
As part of the Simba Toys challenge, in 2014 the European Union General Court decided the three-dimensional trademark was valid, and ordered Simba to pay costs.
Alex Brodie, a partner at Gowling WLG, said that the judgement was "no surprise" given the ECJ handed down a similar decision regarding Lego bricks in 2010.
She said: "The Rubik brand still stands but it doesn't have a monopoly on the shape of the cube puzzle under trade mark law.
"Others are now free to create such a puzzle - provided Rubik doesn't have other IP rights - but they cannot call it Rubik and they cannot copy the get up of Rubik - this decision is solely about the shape of the product."
"We wait to see whether the consumer market is waiting for an alternative cube puzzle and how this judgment will in fact affect the puzzle market," Ms Brodie said.
However, she added that there will probably be a greater impact on toy and games firms reviewing their three-dimensional trademark registrations.
He admitted 30 indecent assault charges and one offence of indecency towards a child. All his victims were under 16.
Many of the counts included multiple incidents and are estimated to account for hundreds of individual assaults.
Napier, from Sherborne in Dorset, was at one time treasurer of the Paedophile Information Exchange.
The group campaigned on behalf of paedophiles in the 1970s and 1980s.
The judge said there was "no doubt" he had become a teacher because of the proximity it offered him to young boys, some of whom had been "dramatically damaged" by his crimes.
The court heard that one boy was indecently assaulted on eight separate occasions between 1969 and 1972.
Napier forced another boy to commit a sex act on him.
Francis Wheen, a victim of Napier who has waived his right to anonymity, told the BBC how the teacher would win boys' trust by offering them sweets, fizzy drinks and cigarettes.
He related that he stayed away from Napier after the teacher tried to put his hand down his shorts, but others had suffered more serious abuse which left them "very badly damaged".
"He was in a position of trust which he abused wholesale," said Mr Wheen.
He was cleared of one other charge in October because of lack of evidence.
Much of the abuse took place in a workshop at the school where he taught.
Napier is the half-brother of Conservative MP John Whittingdale.
He left the school in the early 1970s and went on to hold jobs working with children in Cairo and Sweden.
Prosecuting, Peter Clement said Napier "exploited his role and his position of trust for his own sexual gratification".
Acting Detective Chief Inspector Keith Braithwaite described Napier as "an arrogant, controlling and manipulative individual who has shown no remorse".
Det Chief Insp Braithwaite thanked those who came forward to give evidence, adding that he hoped the sentence indicated how seriously the courts take such offences.
He was arrested in 2013 as part of Operation Cayacos, one strand of Scotland Yard's wider investigation into historical child abuse called Operation Fairbank.
Operation Fairbank was launched in 2012 after Labour MP Tom Watson wrote to the police about allegations of a paedophile ring linked to Westminster.
During interviews with the police Napier told officers he had been "completely out of control" and was "desperately sorry" for his actions. | Oldham Athletic have announced that six players will leave the League One side this summer.

The police were attacked after stopping a car on the outskirts of the village of Killeagh shortly after midnight on Monday.
One officer received a serious head and eye injury and was taken to Cork University Hospital. The second officer was less seriously injured.
The police patrol car was also rammed.
The vehicle then made off in the direction of Youghal and rammed a second patrol car before heading towards Dungourney.
Police went to an address at Ballymartin, Dungourney, and a garda spokesman said there was "another violent disorder incident" when officers came under attack.

The Jags host St Johnstone on Tuesday, having not played in the league since 2 February due to postponements at home and away.
"If the forecast is what it's supposed to be - dry for the next two days - we'll be fine," said Archibald.
"But, if we get a deluge of rain, it affects the wide areas really badly."
Thistle's home game against Aberdeen was postponed on Friday and an away match against Hearts at Tynecastle had also been called off the week before.
"It's shown with the players in the last couple of days, especially that they're desperate for a game," Archibald told BBC Scotland. "It's been really frustrating."
The Jags are currently level on points with 11th-placed Kilmarnock but have played four fewer games.
Despite the Maryhill club looking into the positives and negatives of an artificial pitch before they were promoted to the top flight in 2013, Archibald stresses that it is not a subject they have revisited.
"I think they've got a place in the game, but we'd rather have grass pitches at the top level if we can," he said.
"It's the players that are important. If you ask any player, they'll always want grass. Any of ours certainly do."
Some managers and players have recently spoken out against artificial surfaces.
"We don't complain about it because we're used to it - we train on it for four or five months of the season," added Archibald.
"It's just been down to the weather this year. We only had one call-off last season.
"We've got an area of the pitch that we have to fix - there's a drainage problem.
"But hopefully, once we get that fixed, we'll just be the same as everybody else with a grass pitch."
Newport County Supporters Trust wants to acquire the club from the current owner, Les Scadding.
Interim chairman Tony Pring said fans had been asked to pledge money at a meeting on Thursday night.
The body advising the trust, Supporters Direct, has set the "very tight" but "necessary" deadline.
James Mathie, from Supporters Direct, said: "It is a very tight timescale but actually with the season started, people want clarity, is this going to happen or not.
"So, we need to stretch people, we need to push people and that's why we've set a deadline for the end of September."
BBC Wales understands the six-figure sum will go towards paying off debts and creditors, and providing working capital for the season.
There are currently 1,200 members of the trust but Supporters Direct believe the figure could rise to about 4,000.
Mr Mathie added: "We expect and hope some individuals will be able to put in significant amounts, which will make it easier for the community as a whole."
Earlier this week the club's manager, Terry Butcher, said he would be buying shares in the club.
However, the changes will only affect funds received from 1 July onwards.
The decision not to backdate the publication has been criticised by some political parties.
The Electoral Commission welcomed the move, but said it hoped to see legislation brought in to allow it to publish donations from 2014 onwards.
Stormont power-sharing deal 'remains achievable'
Unlike the rest of the UK, Stormont parties are not required to reveal who funds them.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Brokenshire said there was a consensus on a need for "greater transparency on political donations" in Northern Ireland.
"In line with the commitment set out in the Conservative Party's Northern Ireland manifesto for the General Election, I can confirm that I intend to bring forward legislation that will provide for the publication of all donations and loans received by Northern Ireland parties on or after the 1st of July 2017," he said.
The head of the Electoral Commission in Northern Ireland, Ann Watt, said: "While all reportable donations and loans received from 1 July 2017 will now be published by the commission, we would also like to see the necessary legislation put in place, as soon as possible, to allow us to publish details of donations and loans received since January 2014.
"Such a move will only help to further enhance today's positive announcement on future transparency."
Sinn Féin's northern leader Michelle O'Neill described Mr Brokenshire's announcement as "a very crass decision, which probably points to a side deal between the Tories and the DUP on political donations".
She said she was "100% behind transparency" but questioned the placing of the announcement in a statement about the Stormont talks.
"I really don't see the context in which that fitted in his statement today," Mrs O'Neill said.
The Alliance Party's, David Ford, accused Mr Brokenshire of offering "feeble excuses" for not making the publication retrospective.
"There are many questions as to why donations during the Brexit campaign, during the election campaigns of this year and the election campaign of last year are not fully transparent and open," he said.
"At a time when there is such deep cynicism in this society about the political process, his failure to address that issue properly can only enhance that suspicion and that cynicism.
"We need to see openness, we need to see full transparency and we need to see Parliament backdating that to January 1 2014."
Three people were killed in clashes in the capital, Libreville.
Protests began after the announcement that President Ali Bongo had been narrowly re-elected in Wednesday's vote.
Opposition leader Jean Ping, who is in hiding, told the BBC that his party headquarters had been bombed.
The UN, US and former colonial power France have called for restraint and greater transparency about the results.
You never get a 98% or 99% turnout in an honest election. You just don't.
Voting is compulsory in Gabon, but it is not enforced; even in Australia where it is enforced, where you can vote by post or online and can be fined for not voting, turnout only reaches 90-95%.
The main reason that a full turnout is practically impossible is that electoral registers, even if they are recently compiled, can rarely be 100% up-to-date.
Even if no-one gets sick or has to travel, people still die. And when a register is updated, new voters are keen to add themselves to the list.
No-one, however, has any great enthusiasm for removing the names of those who have died, and over time the number of these non-existent voters increases.
How to spot signs of possible election rigging
"I know who has won and who has lost," Mr Bongo told local media. "Who has won? 1.8m Gabonese with whom we will progress together. Who has lost? A small group which had the objective of taking power to use Gabon instead of serving it."
Interior Minister Pacome Moubelet Boubeya said on Thursday that 800 people had been arrested in Libreville and 400 in other areas of the country.
Security forces cracked down after protesters attacked the national assembly building late on Wednesday, tearing down its main gate and setting parts of it on fire.
On Thursday the building's facade was blackened by fire and its windows were smashed. Burned-out cars littered nearby streets.
"Democracy does not sit well with an attack on parliament," Mr Bongo said.
Police used tear gas to prevent crowds from gathering there again and arrested people as they emerged from remains of the building.
The BBC's Charles Stephane Mavoungou in Libreville says people there have been unable to access the internet.
Meanwhile, Jean Ping told the BBC that a presidential guard helicopter had bombed his headquarters and killed two people.
"They attacked around 01:00 (00:00 GMT)," he said. "They were bombarding with helicopters and then they attacked on the ground."
Security forces were surrounding the building on Thursday night and had detained members of the opposition National Union party inside, a spokeswoman for the party said.
It was not immediately clear where Mr Ping had gone into hiding but a European diplomat quoted by AFP news agency said he was safe.
Witnesses said security forces had sealed off central Libreville.
The official election result, announced on Wednesday afternoon, gave Mr Bongo a second seven-year term with 49.8% of the vote to Mr Ping's 48.2% - a margin of 5,594 votes.
But Mr Ping said the election was fraudulent.
He cited the result in Mr Bongo's home province of Haut-Ogooue, where turnout was 99.93% and 95% of votes were for the president.
Turnout in the other provinces was between 45% and 71%, according to Gabon's interior ministry.
EU election monitor spokesperson Sarah Crozier told BBC Newsday "it's not a very common result, that's for sure".
Mr Bongo took office in 2009 after an election marred by violence, succeeding his father Omar Bongo who had come to power in 1967.
Mr Ping had been a close ally of Omar Bongo, serving him in ministerial roles and having two children with his daughter, Pascaline, a former Gabonese foreign minister.
Moss controversially penalised Carroll when Leicester's Jeffrey Schlupp went down in the area, with Leonardo Ulloa converting the penalty to make it 2-2.
Carroll says Moss, who also sent off Foxes striker Jamie Vardy, gave "bad decisions" throughout the game.
"It's not acceptable. Week in, week out we've had bad decisions," said Carroll.

"I mean, it is a bad decision - it is bad decisions he has given all game. It's not the first time and probably won't be the last.
"I think he's trying to even it up and I think a lot of people have said that."
Vardy, having opened the scoring for the Premier League leaders, was shown a second yellow card when Moss ruled he dived in the area.
Carroll levelled from the spot following Wes Morgan's foul on Winston Reid, but after Aaron Creswell gave the visitors the lead it was substitute Carroll who conceded a late penalty.
The 27-year-old insists officials need help in making big calls and claims the Hammers could be occupying a Champions League spot had decisions this season gone their way.
"Whether they've got the camera, whatever you need - something needs to happen," added Carroll, who scored a hat-trick against Arsenal last weekend.
"We could have been third in the league now if we had eight points. Third - and now we're still fighting for fourth, fifth spot and we're slipping down by losing these points.
"We could be third and flying, and probably could still be in the cup. It is just disappointing and there's nothing we can do about it when others are making the decision."

Liverpool led through James Milner's 27th-minute penalty, awarded after Paul Pogba inexplicably handled a corner as he went up to challenge Dejan Lovren.
Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet was Liverpool's hero with superb first-half saves from Ibrahimovic's free-kick and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, as Jurgen Klopp's side put up stern resistance and threatened on the break.
It looked like the visitors were going to hold on and move back to second in the Premier League, but United finally forced the goal they merited when Antonio Valencia reacted first when substitute Marouane Fellaini's header came back off the post, crossing for Ibrahimovic to head home off the bar.
Liverpool are now in third place, seven points adrift of top-flight leaders Chelsea, while United - whose nine-match winning run in all competitions came to an end - are now 12 points off the top.

Reds boss Klopp had no hesitation in restoring Mignolet in goal, despite the midweek heroics of Loris Karius in defeat in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg at Southampton.
Klopp has decided, for now at least, that the Belgium international is his first choice - and Mignolet demonstrated exactly why on Sunday.
Mignolet's decision-making has often been questioned, but he has always been capable of making outstanding saves. And so it proved in this draw.
He rescued Liverpool twice in the first half with a brilliant reflex save from Ibrahimovic's fierce free-kick and a decisive advance from goal to make a one-handed block from Mkhitaryan.
Klopp has had to make big decisions with his keepers this season - and this one was fully justified by Mignolet.
Ibrahimovic may be 35 and in the twilight of a wonderful career - but he is the new talisman of Manchester United and the leader of Mourinho's team.
This may not have been the former Sweden striker's best performance of the season but he was still the man who made the difference and produced the decisive contribution when United needed him.
Ibrahimovic brings a winner's mentality to Old Trafford and it showed when he raced back to the centre circle after his 19th goal of a stellar season, finger pointing to the skies before whirling his arms around demanding more noise and support from United's fans in the closing moments.
He has now scored 14 goals in his first 20 Premier League games since joining last summer - the same total as Manchester City's Sergio Aguero, former Southampton, Blackburn and Newcastle striker Alan Shearer, and ex-Coventry City forward Micky Quinn.
Pogba's Manchester United career has been a slow-burner - but he has come into his own throughout United's recent run of victories.
This, however, will be a game he will surely want to forget as quickly as possible as the £89m man endured a nightmare from first to last.
Pogba revealed his own emoji before the game, but he will have wanted to keep his profile as low as possible after needlessly conceding a penalty and missing a clear chance when he raced through earlier in the first half.
The 23-year-old France midfielder is a player of undoubted quality but this was not his finest 90 minutes.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho: "I didn't think the game had super quality. We didn't reflect the qualities we have and Liverpool have - but it was very emotional, intense, aggressive. We fought until the last second.
"They were clever. They took their time, they know how to play football and control the emotions of the game. They knew they would be in trouble in the final few minutes.
"We were the team that attacked and Liverpool were the team that defended - let's see if the critics are fair. I enjoyed it but I will obviously be disappointed we didn't get the three points."

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "In the end period of the game when United started playing long balls after 80 minutes of high intense football it is really hard.
"I hoped we would have a bit of luck, unfortunately not but all good. Tomorrow I can enjoy the result, but tonight only the performance.
"It is so intense. They play long balls, it was a wild game. There was a lot of action in the last few minutes. We were here to win the game, which is why we we are not 100% satisfied."

It follows the American Civil Liberties Union of California's revelations the police had used surveillance tool Geofeedia to access data from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The ACLU said Facebook had made it "crystal clear" such data was now off-limits.
It called for swift action when there were any violations of the new rules.
In a blogpost, Rob Sherman, deputy chief privacy officer at Facebook, said developers could no longer "use data obtained from us to provide tools that are used for surveillance".
"We are committed to building a community where people can feel safe making their voices heard," he said.
"Our approach involves making careful decisions every day about how we use and protect data at Facebook."
Last year, the ACLU of California obtained thousands of pages of public records that revealed some 20 law enforcement agencies in the state had acquired social media spying software, such as Geofeedia, that allowed them to track civil rights activists.
The ACLU suggested that "law enforcement should not be using tools that treat protesters like enemies", noting that it had found no evidence of "any public notice, debate, community input or lawmaker vote" about the use of such software.
In November, after the ACLU revelations, Twitter said that using its data to "track or profile protesters and activists is absolutely unacceptable and prohibited".
In response to Facebook's changes, the ACLU of California's technology director, Nicole Ozer, said: "We depend on social networks to connect and communicate about the most important issues in our lives and the core political and social issues in our country.
"Now more than ever, we expect companies to slam shut any surveillance side doors and make sure nobody can use their platforms to target people of colour and activists."
Malkia Cyril, executive director of the Center for Media Justice, said: "When technology companies allow their platforms and devices to be used to conduct mass surveillance of activists and other targeted communities, it chills democratic dissent and gives authoritarianism a licence to thrive.
"It's clear there is more work to be done to protect communities of colour from social media spying, censorship and harassment."

He said: "Captain Harry Wales, as he is known affectionately in the Army, has achieved much in his 10 years as a soldier."
"He has been at the forefront throughout his service. He has insisted on being treated the same as his peers."
Ian Paterson, 59, allegedly told Frances Perks to undergo a double mastectomy or risk "full-blown cancer", despite tests showing no sign of malignancy.
Ms Perks also underwent 27 unnecessary biopsies, prosecutors said.
Mr Paterson, of Altrincham, denies 20 counts of wounding with intent.
Ms Perks is one of ten people said to have undergone "extensive, life-changing operations for no medically justifiable reason" at the hands of the surgeon.
Nottingham Crown Court heard Ms Perks, whose mother and sister had died from cancer, was referred to Mr Paterson in 1994 after finding a lump in her breast at the age of 35.
Prosecutor Julian Christopher QC said she was kept under close surveillance due to her family history, and Mr Paterson had removed several lumps - which were found to be benign - from both breasts over the course of the following 10 years.
A decade after her first visit, jurors heard, Ms Perks found another lump, which was examined and found not to be cancerous.
Despite this, jurors were told, Mr Paterson told Ms Perks "it was time to be thinking of having a mastectomy and that, if she did not, she would end up with full-blown cancer".
"He said that if it were him, he would have a double mastectomy," he said.
"He wrote to her insurers, stating that she had recently been diagnosed with multi focal LCIS in her left breast and that she had a very high statistical probability of having disease in the other breast. (This is) quite wrong."
Mr Christopher previously told jurors Mr Paterson's motives for the operations were "obscure", and possibly financially motivated.
The procedures occurred at the Heart of England NHS Trust and privately run Spire Healthcare hospitals in the West Midlands between 1997 and 2011.
Mr Paterson, of Castle Mill Lane, Ashley, was interviewed by arrangement in January 2013, when he read a prepared statement saying all surgical procedures he had undertaken were "appropriate and necessary".
"He denied any allegations of inappropriate or unnecessary surgery or bad faith for the purposes of financial gain or for any other purpose, and he said that he found any suggestion that he would propose unnecessary procedures for financial gain as abhorrent," Mr Christopher said.
He was interviewed again in September 2014 but refused to answer questions. Mr Christopher told jurors other victims included:
Mr Perez Molina resigned on 2 September over allegations of graft. He was arrested a day later.
He is already under investigation over a bribery scheme at Guatemala's customs services but has denied any wrongdoing.
The latest investigation focuses on allegations he received $37.9m (£28.8m) in return for construction contracts.
Investigators allege that the former president was also given a helicopter, a plane and a luxury car.
He has previously been accused by an anti-corruption commission of taking bribes from a Spanish port company.
Guatemala ministers arrested over helicopter 'gift'
Guatemala ex-president 'took bribes'
Judge Miguel Angel Galvez said that the latest alleged kickback scheme to come under investigation involved more than 50 public officials, bankers and businesspeople.
Mr Perez Molina's former Vice President, Roxana Baldetti, is among those who are also under investigation.
Ms Baldetti was forced to resign in May 2015 when allegations of corruption against her first emerged.
The news prompted mass anti-corruption protests which eventually led to the resignation of Mr Perez Molina.
Both he and Ms Baldetti are already in custody.
Investigators will now have three months to gather evidence against the suspects before a judge decides whether to take the case to trial.
Mae llai o ddisgyblion wedi bod yn dewis astudio Cymraeg fel un o'u pynciau Lefel A ac mae hynny'n "drueni", meddai'r Athro Sioned Davies wrth raglen Newyddion 9.
"Mewn ffordd, efallai bod hynny yn adlewyrchu pa mor gryf mae pobl yn teimlo ynglŷn â'u Cymraeg, hynny yw dydyn nhw ddim yn gorfod astudio'r Gymraeg fel pwnc," meddai.
"Maen nhw yn gallu astudio pethau eraill trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg."
Dywedodd hefyd bod pryderon o fewn adrannau Cymraeg ynglŷn â thoriadau ym maes addysg uwch ac effaith Brexit ond dyw hi ddim yn credu y bydd y pwnc yn stopio cael ei ddysgu ym mhrifysgolion Cymru.
Cyfnod 'cyffrous'
"Pan mae niferoedd myfyrwyr yn mynd ar i lawr yna wrth gwrs mae pobl yn edrych ar faint o staff sydd ym mhob adran," meddai.
"'Da ni i gyd yn cefnogi ein gilydd ac yn sicr 'dw i ddim yn rhagweld y bydd unrhyw brifysgol yn cael gwared ar y Gymraeg."
Cydnabod bod denu pobl i astudio'r pwnc yn her mae Dr Dylan Foster Evans, fydd yn olynu Sioned Davies.
Ond mae'n dweud bod nawr yn gyfnod cyffrous i astudio'r pwnc am fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gosod targed i gael miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050.
"Ar un lefel mae'n edrych yn uchelgeisiol tu hwnt," meddai.
"Ond os ydych chi yn meddwl bod poblogaeth Cymru yn mynd i dyfu, 'dy o 'mond yn cynyddu ryw 5% falle, i ryw chwarter poblogaeth o bumed ran.
"Felly dydy hi ddim yn gynnydd enfawr yn y ffordd yna.

HighWire Press is a digital publishing platform with its headquarters in Silicon Valley.
It said the jobs will have average salaries of £34,000 and the positions include software developers and support engineers.
Grants of almost £1m are being provided to the company, with most of the money coming from Invest NI.
The firm's chief executive, Dan Filby, said the office was a "dedicated technology centre".
"We are very excited about our investment in Belfast. As well as providing us with a dedicated technology development centre, it will also provide us with a focal point on which to build our continued presence in Europe," he said.
"An outstanding, abundant talent pool was our highest priority when evaluating potential expansion locations."
Welcoming the jobs, First Minister Arlene Foster said: "The total investment as a result of this project, supported by Invest Northern Ireland, equates to nearly £6m and is a great boost to Belfast's reputation as number one in Europe for new software development projects."
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said: "HighWire choosing to locate in the north of Ireland signals the potential of our existing and future IT professionals."
HighWire was founded in 1995, as a spin-out business by Stanford University, and is now owned by a private equity firm.
Its services are used by the British Medical Journal, among others.
The jobs announcement coincides with a trip to the United States by Northern Ireland's first and deputy first ministers.
Transplantation and IVF are two examples. The first gave the chance of prolonged life to patients with failing organs. The second the chance of parenthood to couples with fertility problems.
Mitochondrial replacement might seem obscure by comparison. Unlike transplantation and fertility treatment, it would benefit very few couples. Those it could help would be able to have healthy children free of a potentially fatal genetic disease. Future generations of those families would also be free of the genetic fault.
But it also has huge potential significance for society because for the first time children would be born with DNA from three people - what has frequently been dubbed 'three-parent IVF'.
Crucially that genetic alteration to what's known as the germ line, would be permanent, handed down from generation to generation.
That's why a consultation begun today by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) is so important.
My colleague James Gallagher has written about the techniques involved in mitochondrial replacement.
I will give just a brief explanation.
About one in 200 children is born with a fault in their mitochondria - these are the power packs outside the nucleus of each cell.
Most have mild or no symptoms but a minority suffer devastating effects which can include muscle weakness, neurological, visual and hearing disorders and heart disease. These can be progressive and fatal.
What's more that genetic fault is passed on down the generations, via the maternal line from mother to child.
Two years ago scientists in Newcastle reported that they could fix the problem through IVF technology.
The key was to replace the faulty mitochondrial DNA which they did by using the healthy mitochondrial DNA from a donated egg.
The resulting embryo contains all the genes from the nucleus of the parents (more than 20,000) plus a few dozen genes from the donated mitochondrial DNA.
The team, led by Prof Doug Turnbull, created 80 embryos but none was transplanted into a woman.
A scientific review last year concluded that there were no safety concerns which should prevent the technique from being used to help couples. But it recommended further research to explore the issues, which is currently under way in Newcastle.
Sharon Bernardi's son Edward died last year aged 21. He had Leigh's disease, a rare progressive mitochondrial disorder that affects the central nervous system. He needed constant care through his life. All her other children died within days of birth as a result of the inherited condition.
Sharon, from Sunderland, said: "Losing one child is bad enough but I lost six babies to mitochondrial disease. Edward suffered a lot towards the end of his life and was in terrible pain. I hope other couples will be allowed to have this new treatment and be spared what my husband and I went through."
Which leaves the ethical concerns. The technique raises many issues: what is the legal status of the woman who donates her DNA? How might any child that is born feel about having DNA from three people? When should they be told?
But this is not just an issue for the couples involved. For the first time it will mean that scientists are altering human genetic inheritance.
The addition of a tiny amount of DNA from a third person will be passed down the germ line - through the eggs - to subsequent generations.
Prof Lisa Jardine, the Chair of the HFEA said she expected some strongly-held views on the subject.
"This is an area that generates extreme opinions like almost no other issue except assisted dying. That is not a surprise since they are about taking and creating life."
Prof Jardine said that it would ultimately be up to the health secretary to rule on whether the technique should proceed to the clinic. This would not require an Act of Parliament but there would need to be a debate in both Houses of Parliament.
The consultation runs until 7 December and details can be found on the HFEA website.

I like to suffer a bit and today was a little over the top, but it's great to be back
The triathlon in Panama City comprised a 1.9km swim, 90km cycle and 21km run. Armstrong wants to qualify for October's world championships.
"I need a challenge in my life," he said. "I need some stuff to do."
The 40-year-old American, who has battled against testicular, brain and lung cancer, was leading the event going into the final leg.
He eventually finished 32 seconds behind New Zealander Bevan Docherty, who won triathlon gold at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
"I like to suffer a bit and today was a little over the top, but it's great to be back," said Armstrong, who plans to compete in June's Ironman France
Written in the local Hausa language by women for women, Kano city's equivalent of the Mills and Boons industry, known as "Litattafan Soyayya", is a booming business.
"I read these novels to know how to handle complex life issues, like courtship and what life is in the matrimonial home," says 23-year-old Hadiza Ibrahim Kabuga.
One of the bestsellers, A Daren Farko, meaning "On the First Night", is especially popular with girls and young women about to be married - detailing what they can expect on their first night in the marriage bed.
The novels are a way for women to talk about issues not openly discussed in northern Nigeria.
I give more attention to women's issues, like marriage, polygamy and education
Girls are often treated differently from boys, with some parents believing they do not need an education as their early years are just a preparation for marriage.
"In my writing I give more attention to women's issues, like marriage, polygamy and education," says Fauziyyah B Suleiman, who has written 32 novels and makes enough money to live by her writing.
Three of them have proved so successful that they have been turned into locally produced movies.
One called Rumaysah deals with polygamy and the complications that come with it.
Rumaysah is a woman driven by jealousy who is determined to stop her husband from taking a second wife and ends up murdering him.
The trickery and subterfuge of life in a polygamous family is also raised by many of the novels.
Others will, for example, chronicle the rise of an illiterate child bride who rebels against her family to get an education - ending with her becoming aware of her rights within and outside the family.
"Such novels bring to the fore the much-needed change in the way women are treated in Hausa society," says literary critic Murtala Abdullahi.
It allows women not only to express themselves but be viewed in a different light, he adds.
"Hausa romance novels often present the image of women not only as housewives and mothers, but also as breadwinners or political activists or professionals."
43% of girls are married off before their 18th birthday
17% get married before they turn 15
The novels sell for about 300 naira ($1.50, £1) each and can be bought at book stalls in all markets.
"Every week at least five new novels come on to the market - some selling in their thousands," says Ali Mai Litattafai, who runs a bookshop in old Kano city.
"In the past people had the wrong impression of issues such novels raise, but now people have realised that they are for the good of the society."
At one of the shops I met a boy who came to pick up the latest novels for his mother - some women here stay at home as they are not allowed to mix with men in public.
Most of Mr Litattafai's customers are married women, some of whom buy in bulk and then loan out copies of the romances in their neighbourhoods for a small fee.
It is usually about $0.70 to borrow three books for a week.
The novels are also serialised on the radio.
When Express FM in Kano airs its romance novel slot at 09:00 every weekday morning, many homes comes to a standstill for the next 30 minutes.
It can also be heard outside the city in rural areas, where literacy is lower. Kano State as a whole has female literacy rates of between 35% and 50% - in much of the rest of northern Nigeria it is lower than 35%.
Some teachers have complained that the books interfere with girls' concentration at school.
"I used to have to frequently confiscate the romances when I caught students secretly reading them on their laps," says Naziru Mikailu, a BBC journalist who used to teach at a school in Kano.
Some Islamic scholars have had more of an issue with what they consider the vulgar and erotic content of the novels.
The Kano governor in 2007 led a widely publicised burning of thousands of the novels.
A censorship board was then set up, requiring writers to present their works for scrutiny before publication.
This has now been relaxed after some writers won a civil court case which upheld their freedom of expression.
But the Hisbah religious police - who are tasked with upholding Islamic law - are still touchy about them.
In February, they stopped a popular narrator of the novels, Isa Ahmed Koko, from visiting Kano to meet his adoring fans.
This was in response to a Facebook campaign set up by men upset by the prospect.
"Many married women will abandon their homes and tell their husbands they are maybe going to the hospital only to end up at the meeting," one of them posted.
The authors often put their mobile numbers on the cover of their novels, allowing direct feedback from readers who sometimes get in touch to offer them gifts.
But some have received threatening messages, urging them to stop writing.
Maryam Salisu Maidala, a teacher who has written two romance bestsellers, says she has never been on the receiving end of a threatening call, except from fans urging her to hurry up with a sequel to her popular book Kainuwa.
"I reflect reality to the extent that sometimes readers call my mobile to ask me if my novels were based on real life stories that had happened."
She writes her novels by long hand, because of Nigeria's erratic electricity supply, and says that the serialisation of her books on the radio has helped boost sales.
Social media, on the other hand, is posing a problem for the writers as groups have been formed on Facebook or WhatsApp where whole novels are uploaded.
"Social media is gradually eroding readership of Hausa novels because people can now share electronic copies of a novel. This affects our sales," says Ms Suleiman.
But it is not an ideal reading experience, so for the moment Kano's literature of romance looks secure.
"After school I read such novels in my free time. We girls don't get out of our homes much - so it's my way of relaxing," says 18-year-old Sadiya Hussaini, who like the other romance fans did not want her photo taken.
"Many of the stories teach you how to handle boys - and I learn how complicated life is.
"The suspense also keeps me excited, gives me something to look forward to."
Young played for Hearts from 1955-1960 and his goals helped the Edinburgh club win the Scottish league title in 1958.
He won a move to Everton, where he made 273 appearances, scoring 87 goals and winning the First Division title as well as the FA Cup.
Loanhead-born Young also made eight appearances for his country, scoring five goals.
While with Everton, his elegant touch earned him the nickname of "The Golden Vision", a title coined by Northern Ireland defender Danny Blanchflower.
Young was the inspiration for a 1968 play called The Golden Vision, directed by Ken Loach, which explored Evertonians' affection for the Scot.
Everton's 2001 testimonial for Young was attended by more than 20,000 fans at Goodison Park.
In the latter stages of his playing career, he played for Northern Irish club Glentoran - who he went on to manage - and Stockport County.
At the end of his football career, he ran his family's upholstery business in Edinburgh before retiring.

Worried about the dangers of inadvertently training Irish republicans, the authorities opted to place it under the command of the B Specials.
They might have been viewed by Churchill as the only properly armed and disciplined force left to defend UK from a backdoor German invasion, but Catholics were deeply suspicious of the Ulster outfit and did not join up.
A new BBC Radio Ulster documentary, Not Dad's Army - Northern Ireland's Home Guard, tells the story of the controversial Ulster Home Guard.
This clip from "The Story of the Ulster Home Guard" in 1945 shows local volunteers training and preparing in the eventuality of a German invasion.
Used with permission from the Public Records Office Northern Ireland.
Not Dad's Army - Northern Ireland's Home Guard will be broadcast on BBC Radio Ulster at 12:30 GMT on Sunday 1 March 2015. It will then be available on BBC IPlayer radio.
The laptop-sized Voltera V-One uses different inks to turn circuit board designs into working prototypes.
It won the prize because of its great potential for speeding up the hardware design process.
The global competition aims to reward engineering students who create devices that solve real world problems.
Jesus Zozaya, Alroy Ameida, James Pickard and Katarina Ilic, from the University of Waterloo, in Canada, win £30,000 cash to help them finish making the Voltera V-One.
They have also raised more than $500,000 (£331,000) on crowdfunding site Kickstarter.
James Dyson said they were "impressive" and looked set to make prototyping "easier and more accessible".
Mr Almeida said: "When we first started the company, we spoke to many experts who told us we were too ambitious and that it was impossible to create a tool that could effectively prototype circuits."
The Voltera works by laying down different types of inks - one conducting and one insulating - to form a two-layer circuit board.
It can also dispense solder on to the board so individual components can be added to quickly make working hardware.
Runners-up include:
More than 260,000 people had signed a petition against the plan, with opponents saying the money would be better spent on hospitals and schools.
Los Angeles and Paris are the other bidding cities after Hamburg pulled out in 2015 followed by Rome a year later.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will elect the winner at a vote in Lima, Peru, in September 2017.
Hungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs told Reuters a decision to drop the bid was made after a meeting between Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Budapest Mayor Istvan Tarlos and the Hungarian Olympic Committee.
The decision to drop the bid will be formally voted on by the Budapest City Assembly.
Fidesz, the governing party, said the decision was made to avoid "a loss of international prestige" as the bid had a very small chance of success.
Hungary is the only one of the 10 most successful medal-winning countries at the summer Olympics never to have hosted the event.
James Paul, 26, from Abertillery, Blaenau Gwent had been working in a suspended ceiling space of Cwmcarn High School in Caerphilly county on 19 July.
Workers had been removing asbestos from the 900-pupil school which had been forced to close over safety fears.
Gwent Coroner David Bowen adjourned the investigation until 3 October.
The hearing was told Mr Paul was found unresponsive after paramedics attended the school at about 15:15 BST and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mr Paul had suffered a cardiac arrest whilst working in suspended ceiling space, Mr Bowen heard.
An investigation by Gwent Police and the Health and Safety Executive is continuing.
Mr Paul's body has been released to his family.
A spokesman for Caswell Environmental Ltd, the asbestos contractor working at the school, said: "We're assisting Gwent police and the health and safety executive in every way we can.
"Our greatest sympathies go out to Mr Paul's family.
"The site has been released by the police but we are still conducting our own investigations with the relevant authorities to find out exactly what happened before work will continue."
Cwmcarn High School had been closed in October 2012 after a council-commissioned report found that asbestos posed a potential health risk.
But a subsequent report from the HSE said asbestos was present, as it was in other public buildings, but it did not present a risk.
Following the closure of the school, its 900 pupils have been taught 12 miles (19km) away at Coleg Gwent's Ebbw Vale campus, prompting parents' protests.
Caerphilly council has paid £1m to deal with the asbestos, with pupils expected back for the autumn term in September.
Over 50cm (19in) of water flooded Portsmouth's Pyramids in February, causing extensive damage to the swimming pool's plant room.
The water also severely damaged the building's fabric and mains power was lost.
BH Live, which runs the centre, said repair costs were covered by insurance.
The company said planned improvement works at the centre had also been brought forward during the closure to "limit further disruption in the future".
The leisure centre, owned by Portsmouth City Council, was taken over by the company last year after it came under threat of demolition by the authority amid spending cuts.
The shower was due to peak in the UK on Saturday night, in a display also visible in other parts of the world.
Stargazers took to social media to say they had seen the display, in which 100 meteors had been expected an hour.
The Perseid meteor shower occurs every July and August as the Earth passes debris from the Swift-Tuttle comet.
Former England cricketer Paul Collingwood was among those who attempted to spot the meteors.
He tweeted that the shower had been "impressive".
The UK's Team Dignitas has two pro League of Legends teams on its books but tournament rules for the game state that they can only oversee one.
Bids for one of their teams have gone far beyond $500,000 (£323,000), a Dignitas spokesman told the BBC.
The final details of the sale and the team's new owner will be revealed by the end of the month.
The massively popular League of Legends game has an associated World Championships that pits the tops teams against each other for large cash prizes.
The five players who were world champions in 2014 shared $1m (£650,000) in prize money.
The teams meet in a virtual arena and are tasked with destroying the heart of their rivals' base while defending their own.
Michael O'Dell, manager of Team Dignitas, said one of its teams had been part of the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) for some time. This year, he said, Dignitas's second or "challenger" team has also qualified for the LCS.
"The rules state that you can only manage one, so we are in the process of selling one of the teams at the moment," he told the BBC.
Mr O'Dell confirmed they had found a buyer but would not be drawn on which team would be sold or who had bought them.
The last few weeks had seen a series of bids for the team come in from many pro-game management firms, individuals and other organisations.
"E-sports is growing so fast at the moment," he said. "There are millionaires and billionaires coming in buying teams and there are sports stars looking to buy teams.
"It's really strange dealing with billionaires over this," he said.
Pro-players could also cash in later in October at the start of the 2015 transfer season, which often sees top players garner large fees to change teams.
Tim Edwards, an editor at the PC Games N website, said the size of the deal over the LoL team reflected the growing interest in e-sports by traditional media firms, brand managers and advertisers.
"It would be hard for them to reach that gaming audience any other way," he said.
The quarter-finals of the League of Legends World Championships are being streamed on BBC Three over three days.
Watch here on Friday, here on Saturday and here on Sunday.
The World Championships concludes on 31 October in Berlin.
HIF, a health-insurance fund based in Perth, will allow its customers to list their gender as "other" on forms.
The not-for-profit fund will also offer the honorific "Mx" on its forms as well as traditional titles.
Australian citizens can legally identify their gender on their passports as M, F or X.
This year's national census was also the first to offer a third gender category.
Grame Gibson, HIF managing director, said the decision to change the forms was made following feedback from the LGBTI community.
"HIF members may select the 'other' gender option if they choose to identify as neither male nor female, including (but not limited to) those who are agender, androgyne, bi-gender, gender fluid, intersex, neutrois, non-binary, pangender or transgender," he said in a statement.
The "Mx" honorific - pronounced "mux" or "mix" - is used to avoid specifying gender or marital status.
It already appears on some government forms in Britain and is used by many banks.
The 27-year-old Commonwealth Games silver medallist's parents, Alison and Robert Inglis, said their daughter had opened her eyes and said "Hi".
Her mother said the latest step in their daughter's recovery was "absolutely phenomenal".
The judo star arrived at Edinburgh Airport in an air ambulance on Monday.
Stephanie was taken to Edinburgh's Western General Hospital where she has been receiving care in a specialist unit.
She was flown from Thailand where she was treated in a Bangkok hospital for a serious head injury and also infections, including pneumonia.
Doctors in Vietnam had given her a 1% chance of surviving her injuries.
Alison Inglis said: "She opened her eyes and she looked and she mouthed 'Hi', and that was absolutely phenomenal.
"She's very determined, she's got a good determination. She is very disciplined, obviously with the sport that she did.
"Even when she started to waken up she opened her eye partly, then she started moving her hand and then when she started to become aware.
"We were trying to explain to her, you have fallen off a bike, you have to rehab and she is constantly moving her arms and legs.
"So I think the strength, disciple and her body strength is really what is bringing her through."
On the official SaveSteph Facebook page it said: "The first thing we learned was that Stephanie is now breathing without any assistance, however she still has the Tracheotomy in place and although she now has a speaking attachment in place this is causing her significant distress, and we will be relieved when this can be removed.
"Stephanie has now been cleared of all her infections and the hospital believes that she has fought and come through all of these, they are really happy with Stephanie and as soon as they can make her more comfortable they will.
"We met Robert and Alison in the visitors lounge and Alison told me Stephanie has been sleeping most of the day due to some pain killers she is on to help with her discomfort so not to expect much, as they made her drowsy.
"When we got to the room Stephanie was asleep, Alison gently awakened her and said Steph look who's here to see you, Steph partially opened her eye looked and when she saw me smiled and for the first time looked straight at me and said Hi, we were speechless I was over whelmed with the moment."
Stephanie, who grew up in the Highlands but has been living in Dunfermline, had been transferred to Bangkok from a hospital in Vietnam where the accident happened on 10 May.
Her parents, who live in Daviot, near Inverness, flew to south-east Asia to be with their daughter.
Stephanie, who won her Commonwealth Games medal at Glasgow 2014, had been in Vietnam for about four months, teaching underprivileged children, when she suffered serious head injuries in the motorcycle accident.
Her skirt is believed to have become unravelled and caught in the wheel.
Friends and family set up a crowdfunding campaign to pay for her medical costs after it emerged her travel insurance was not valid because she had been in the country more than 31 days.
David Lisnard said they are a "symbol of Islamic extremism" and might spark scuffles, as France is the target of Islamist attacks.
France is on high alert following a series of incidents including July's truck attack in nearby Nice.
Anyone caught flouting the new rule could face a fine of €38 (£33).
They will first be asked to change into another swimming costume or leave the beach.
Nobody has been apprehended for wearing a burkini in Cannes since the edict came into force at the end of July.
What do Muslim women think of the ban?
This is not the first time that women's clothing has been restricted in France. In 2011 it became the first country in Europe to ban the full-face Islamic veil, known as the burka, as well as the partial face covering, the niqab.
Earlier this week a private waterpark near Marseille cancelled a burkini-only day after being subjected to criticism.
"Access to beaches and for swimming is banned to any person wearing improper clothes that are not respectful of good morals and secularism.
"Beachwear which ostentatiously displays religious affiliation, when France and places of worship are currently the target of terrorist attacks, is liable to create risks of disrupting public order."
The French media has questioned the legality of the ban. Le Monde points out that no French law bans the wearing of full-body swimsuits. "The law on the full-face veil only bans covering the face in public... The burkini, which covers the body but does not hide the face, is thus a totally legal garment."
France TV Info's legal blog, Judge Marie, says the risk of disturbing public order, invoked by the Cannes mayor, seems rather tenuous. "The basic freedom to come and go dressed as you please seems to me to be infringed in a way that is disproportionate to this risk," the blog says.
Meanwhile, a commentary in left-of-centre paper Liberation accuses the Cannes mayor of trying to score a political point: "David Lisnard… is not responding to a specific issue, but is sending a radical message to his constituents, to his electorate."
BBC Monitoring
Mr Lisnard confirmed to local media that other religious symbols such as the kippah (Jewish skullcap) and the cross would still be permitted, and the ban would not apply to the veil that some Muslim women wear over their hair.
He said: "I simply forbid a uniform that is the symbol of Islamic extremism.
"We live in a common public space, there are rules to follow. "
The League of Human Rights (LDH) said it would challenge the ban in court.
"It is time for politicians in this region to calm their discriminatory ardour and defend the spirit of the Republic," local LDH leader Herve Lavisse said.

Channel 4 have confirmed Andrew, Carolyne, Louis and Alex, from Brighton, will no longer appear on the show.
The family have been on the programme since it began in March 2013.
"Mr Michael has confirmed his proposed candidacy as a UKIP MP," Channel 4 told Newsbeat.
"Sadly any Gogglebox cast member who becomes a candidate for a political party will have to step down from their involvement in Gogglebox.
"It's with great regret that the Michaels are no longer in the show.
"They have been excellent contributors to Gogglebox, and we are very grateful for all they have given to the show."
Speaking to Newsbeat, Alex Michael said: "We sat down as a family and we discussed it at length, either we stay on Gogglebox and my Dad doesn't accept his position or he accepts the position and we can no longer be on the show."
Alex said she is gutted to be leaving the show and would have liked to have stayed on until the end of this series.
She said she fully supports her dad: "It was a hobby for him to begin with and it turns out that he was good at what he was doing and people really liked him.
"I'm proud of my dad to have got to where he is and we will be fully supporting him in his political endeavours from now on".
Mum Carolyne tweeted: "We've loved every min of our involvement. It's the best show on TV & I want to thank everyone for their wonderful support - we'll miss u."
Andrew will stand for the UKIP and contest the East Sussex seat of Hastings and Rye.
That seat is held by a Conservative MP.

Construction at the Pascua-Lama mine, on the border with Argentina, has been suspended until a system to contain contaminated water is put in place.
The news led to share trading in the Canadian-owned company being halted in New York and Toronto after a sell-off.
But activists complained that the fine was only 0.1% of the total operation.
"The resolution is convenient to the offender, a derisive fine for a company such as Barrick Gold," Greenpeace said on a statement.
Despite criticism, the government said the fine was the highest possible under Chilean law.
The environmental authorities said the mining company committed four "serious" and one "very serious" offences.
The latter was a commitment made by Barrick Gold to put in place water treatment systems to contain contaminated waste water and to prevent rainwater contamination.
The company itself reported its shortcomings to the environmental authorities, which led to an investigation.
Barrick Gold Corp acknowledged the failures and promised to work on solutions.
The fines are related to building and regulatory shortcomings, a company executive said.
"We have not been charged with any environmental damage," the president of Barrick South America, Eduardo Flores Zelaya, told Chilean news website La Tercera.
But the investigation found further problems.
"We found that the acts described weren't correct, truthful or provable. And there were other failures of Pascua-Lama's environmental licence as well," Juan Carlos Monckeberg, Chile's Environment superintendent, told AP news agency.
Among the violations, there was an "unjustified discharge coming from the acid treatment plant to the Estecho river", according to the authorities.
Until all of the government requirements have been fulfilled, the mine will not be allowed to operate, they say.
Barrick's shares have reportedly lost more than half their value in the last year, mostly because of Pascua-Lama's problems.
Its new owners have hired professional treasure hunters to comb through the rubble in the hope of finding items belonging to the former leader of the Medellin cartel.
The pink mansion in Miami beach was seized by the US government in 1987.
Escobar, who was one of the world's richest men at the time of his death, was killed by Colombian police in 1993.
Christian de Berdouare and his wife Jennifer Valoppi said they were unaware of its history when they bought the four-bedroom mansion from a private owner in 2014.
Escobar bought the mansion in 1980 and had it for seven years before it was seized by the US authorities.
The new owners said Escobar never lived there but had visited the property on occasion.
They have hired a team to search for stashes of drugs, money or jewellery, which they suspect may have been hidden inside the mansion or its garden, as was the custom of members of the Medellin cartel.
Ms Valoppi said the workers had found a buried safe but that it was stolen before they could open it.
"It was in the ground under some marble and was discovered by some of our workers, but before we even had a chance to remove it, it was stolen, so we've been working with police on that," she said.
Mr de Berdouare, who paid just under $10m (£7m) for the mansion, said he was "very excited to see the house of the devil disappearing right before our eyes".
"This was the biggest criminal in the history of the world. I would like to be associated with something more uplifting, but nevertheless it's part of the city," he added.
He said that he believed Escobar bought the mansion in a residential neighbourhood in order "to conduct illicit trade". He plans to build a new mansion on the site.
Miami was a key entry point for drugs flooding in from South America in the 1980s and many drug lords had mansions and luxury apartments in the city.
The Miami mansion was built in 1948 and has direct access to Biscayne Bay and views of the Miami skyline.
The Iraqi interior ministry said "all 26" were in Baghdad and would be handed over to a Qatari envoy.
The hunters were abducted by gunmen in a desert area of Iraq near the Saudi border in December 2015.
A large-scale search was launched but very little information was known about the group's whereabouts or condition.
On Friday, the group was flown back to Qatar's capital, Doha, Iraqi officials said.
Their release was part of a far-reaching regional deal involving the evacuation of civilians in neighbouring Syria, AFP news agency reports, citing sources close to the negotiations.
"The interior ministry has received the Qatari hunters, all 26 of them," an Iraqi interior ministry official told AFP, adding: "They will be handed over to the Qatari envoy."
Footage later released by the ministry showed some of the former hostages dressed in white gowns and red headscarves as they were greeted by officials in the high security Green Zone in Iraq's capital, Baghdad.
They were then seen in the video boarding a Qatar Airways plane at Baghdad airport. State media later confirmed that they had landed in Doha.
The group was seized in December 2015 while on a licensed hunting trip near the border with Saudi Arabia.
The hostages were abducted when gunmen swept into their camp at dawn in four-by-four vehicles.
The hunting party is widely believed to include one or several more prominent members of the Qatari royal family, although they have not been identified.
They were hunting the Asian houbara bustard, akin to a small turkey, using falcons trained to home in on their quarry.
Their release is said to be connected to a complex deal in Syria involving the evacuation of four besieged towns, which was announced earlier this week.
However, the interior ministry has not provided details confirming this.
The Guardian newspaper has reported that an Iraqi militia with strong ties to Iran, a key backer of the Syrian government and its ally Hezbollah, was holding the Qatari hunters.
It says the deal involves the Syrian Islamist group Ahrar al-Sham, Iran, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and Qatar.
A Qatari royal and a Pakistani man were freed earlier this month.
Also on Friday, a spokesman for Ahrar al-Sham told Reuters that the Syrian government was going to release 500 prisoners into rebel-held territory, as part of a swap deal.
It is an agreement to end the sieges of four towns - two surrounded by pro-government forces, two by rebel and Islamist fighters - in eastern Syria.
Foah and Kefraya are mainly Shia Muslim, government-held towns, close to the border with Lebanon, which have been besieged since March 2015.
Madaya and Zabadani are rebel-held towns in the north-east, which have been besieged since June 2015 by the Syrian army and fighters from Lebanon's Shia Muslim Hezbollah movement.
Conditions have been desperate, especially in Madaya and Zabadani, with severe shortages of food, medicine and fuel. International aid deliveries have been infrequent and required careful negotiation. Government air drops have eased the situation in Foah and Kefraya somewhat.
Under the exchange deal, residents of Foah and Kefraya are being bussed to government-held Aleppo, while people in Madaya and Zabadani are being taken to rebel-held areas.
The evacuations began last week, but were held up after a bomb attack hit the convoy of buses from the two government-held towns, killing at least 126 people including 68 children.
Thousands of evacuees from Foah and Kefraya have also been held up at a staging point for 48 hours, but a rebel involved in the operation told AFP that the buses had left after the news of the release of government-held prisoners.
According to AFP, the current phase of evacuations involves 8,000 people from Foah and Kafraya, and 2,500 civilians and rebels from Madaya and Zabadani.
A second phase is to begin in June. | Four men and a woman have been arrested after a confrontation in Cork that left two police officers injured.

Declining advertising revenues and circulations for print publications meant profits fell to $23m (£15.2m; €20.6m) for the quarter ended 31 March.
Revenues also slipped 1% to $2.06bn.
Chief executive Robert Thomson highlighted a strong performance in its property listing business, Realtor.com.
"The new News Corp continues to build a firm foundation for digital growth," said Mr Thomson.
"We see that most clearly in the successful integration of realtor.com, which grew audience and revenue at record levels in the third quarter.
"News Corp is now a global leader in digital real estate."
Revenues for the online property division rose 67% to $170m for the quarter, after results from its Move subsidiary were included.
Newspapers, on the other hand, continued to struggle, with revenue in News Corp's news and information division falling 9% overall, as ad revenue declined 12%, and circulation and subscription revenue fell 6%.
But revenue in News Corp's book publishing division, which includes HarperCollins, rose 14% to $402m over the quarter.
The company said the continued popularity of the late Chris Kyle's autobiography, American Sniper, had helped boost results. The book was turned into a Hollywood film starring Bradley Cooper.
The group revenue results were below analyst expectations - a fact the company blamed partially on currency fluctuations.
The 34-year-old is set to qualify as a non-overseas player through his Irish ancestry, subject to approval from the England and Wales Cricket Board.
All-rounder Franklin has played 31 Tests for New Zealand, as well as appearing in 110 one-day internationals and 38 Twenty20 internationals.
His deal at Lord's has the option of being extended into a third year.
Left-armer Franklin, who has previously had spells with Gloucestershire, Glamorgan, Essex and Nottinghamshire, will continue to play for Wellington until the end of the 2014-15 New Zealand domestic season in April.
Franklin, who last played Test cricket in January 2013, is on the reserve list for New Zealand's World Cup squad.
"I've had a hugely enjoyable and memorable career in New Zealand," he said.
"It's been an absolute privilege to play for Wellington for over 15 years.
"Although this decision closes the chapter on playing for New Zealand again I know I've been incredibly fortunate to have spent over a decade playing international cricket.
"I'm really looking forward to being in a dressing room full of talented cricketers who will be wanting to help Middlesex win silverware and be a dominant force in county cricket."
Middlesex managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said Franklin would provide "quality, consistency and nous" to their squad.
"James has a lot to offer and continues to perform to a high level wherever he plays," he said.
"Despite James not having bowled with great frequency over the winter, due to a side strain, we are confident that come April his fitness levels will enable him to offer both experience and variety as a left arm-seamer."
Thorne, who was with the Silkmen on non-contract terms in the 2014-15 season but did not feature, has been playing for Forest's development squad.

He is eligible for Macclesfield's FA Trophy fourth round tie against Dulwich Hamlet on Saturday.
The 2014 script, proposed by medical students for a concert at the University of Liverpool, mocked the anti-rape slogan "no means no".
The university and its student guild investigated following complaints.
They said Liverpool Medical Students' Society (LMSS) could no longer use university or guild services.
The script, which also included characters James Bondage and Mrs Sluttypenny, caused outrage on social media after it was pitched by a group of fourth-year medical students for the annual concert, known as Smoker.
Among the comments, one student tweeted: "What have I just read? Gross below the line comments, rape jokes and general idiocy."
In an email, the university and guild said they would not allow their "good names to be jeopardised by the activities of a society which has failed to keep pace with the views and expectations of the modern world".
A spokesperson said LMSS was invited to "draw up an action plan" with the guild "to address some recommendations".
In a separate email, the university and guild said: "Unfortunately, a full and completed action plan has not been forthcoming and the LMSS officers refused to engage with the chair of the investigation panel."
The society has now been "de-ratified", which means it will not be able to use university or guild services from 1 February.
The LMSS, which has yet to respond to the BBC, says on its website it is one of the oldest and largest societies for medical students in the UK.
The university said the guild and staff at the medical school would help support the establishment of a new society for medical students.
The 22-year-old, who can play as a winger or full-back and has joined Batley Bulldogs from Doncaster for the 2016 season, is the 12th winner of the Dave Valentine Award.
It is based on performances in Scotland's 2015 international campaign.
Scotland head coach Steve McCormack said: "Davie was outstanding for us."
Scott started playing rugby league at Easterhouse Panthers and joined Featherstone Rovers in 2013.
He was loaned to Doncaster, made the switch permanent in 2014 and will play in the second-tier English Championship for Batley in the coming season.
Scott made 28 appearances for Doncaster, scoring two tries and 36 conversions.
He played for Scotland in the 2013 World Cup and their recent European Cup campaigns.
"He is the perfect example to all the kids coming through, showing there is a pathway for teenage players in Scotland," added McCormack.
Spokesman John Kirby maintained the payment was negotiated separately from the release, but said it was withheld until the Americans had left Iran.
Five Americans held in Iran were released in January in exchange for seven detained Iranians.
The US airlifted $400m (£300.8m) worth of cash to Iran on the same day.
The exchange came as the US lifted international sanctions against Iran as part of the country's historic nuclear deal.
The timing of both incidents has prompted an outcry from Republicans, who accused the Obama administration of quid pro quo.
The White House, however, has pushed back on claims that the US paid a ransom for the release of the prisoners, saying the money was part of a longstanding financial dispute with Iran from before the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
"We were able to conclude multiple strands of diplomacy within a 24-hour period," Mr Kirby told reporters. "We deliberately leveraged that moment."
Mr Kirby's comments come after the Wall Street Journal reported that the release of the cash depended on the departure in Iran of the prisoners' plane.
The newspaper reported that US officials allegedly would not let a plane containing the cash in Geneva leave for Iran until a Swiss Air Force plane with the three of the US citizens on board left Tehran.
Mr Kirby reaffirmed the White House claim that the payment was part of $1.7bn (£1.2bn) owed to Iran in a military equipment deal made with the US-backed Shah in the 1970s.
The equipment was never delivered before the Shah was overthrown in 1979.
President Barack Obama had agreed to return the $400m (£300.8m) with $1.3bn ((£987m) in interest.
Mr Kirby added the US had "concerns" that Iran may recant on its pledge to return the prisoners, which is why it waited to release the payment.
"It would have been foolish, imprudent and irresponsible for us not to try and maintain maximum leverage," he said, according to ABC News.
"So if you're asking me was there a connection in that regard in the end game? I'm not going to deny that."
Illinois Senator Mark Kirk, chairman of the Senate Banking national security subcommittee, is demanding congressional hearings on the isse.
This, he said, was "the only way for the American people to fully known whether their tax dollars went directly to Iran's terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps".
Republican party chairman Reince Priebus also released a statement to ABC News on the latest revelation.
"It's time for the Obama White House to drop the charade and admit it paid a $400 million ransom to the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism," Mr Priebus said.
MP Sher Wali Wardak was injured in the blast outside his house and died on the way to hospital, officials said.
No group has so far admitted carrying out the attack.
Separately, at least seven people were killed and more than 20 injured when Taliban gunmen - reportedly in police uniform - stormed a court in in Puli Alam, capital of Logar province.
The militant group said the attack was in response to the government's execution of six Taliban prisoners last month.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has pledged a tougher response to the Taliban after an attack in Kabul in April left 64 people dead.
Peace efforts stalled this year after the Taliban refused to participate in new talks with the Afghan government until foreign forces had left the country.
The militants have been waging an insurgency against the Afghan government since being ousted in 2001.
Nato ended its combat mission in Afghanistan in December 2014, leaving a 13,000-strong residual force used for training and counter-terrorism operations, including 9,800 US troops.

Colin Beckett, the party's candidate in Gower, also denied suggestions UKIP was losing support in the opinion polls.
He said: "I think we will get a pretty good share - if we get five seats in Wales that would be fantastic."
Mr Beckett told BBC Wales that such a result "would put is in good shape next year for the Welsh assembly (election in 2016)".
Asked if the party was holding on to its support since the election campaign began, he said: "People in the streets, people in the pubs, 95% of them would say yes. The media say the opposite, I don't know why."
The other candidates declared as standing in Gower are Byron Davies (Conservative), Liz Evans (Labour), Mike Sheehan (Liberal Democrat) and Darren Thomas (Plaid Cymru).
It was the ultimate example of what looks increasingly like a regional insurrection in defiance of majority opinion, and no little advice, from the nation's capital.

The Izons Industrial Estate, near Oldbury in the Black Country, is home to a typical collection of small, predominantly metal-based, businesses.
When I visited it during the campaign, I struggled to find anyone who didn't want out of the EU. So I returned to Augus Engineering, which has been run for nearly half a century by three generations of the same family.
Far from regretting his decision to vote leave, the boss Steve Cartwright told me there was growing confidence in the area.
The lower pound was making their exports more competitive; the prospect of an eventual fall in interest rates was helpful; and the announcement of a £60m private sector investment in a major regeneration project in Wolverhampton's city centre, far from being stalled by Brexit, had gone ahead with a media flourish exactly as planned.
"Certainly none of the doom and gloom that had been predicted," he told me.
On closer examination, I find our region has something of a north-south divide. Among our more affluent areas, Cheltenham, The Cotswolds and Warwick voted to remain in the EU.
But they could not have saved the day, or the night, for David Cameron without big numbers in the major cities voting the same way. In the event, only Bristol did so.
Cosmopolitan Birmingham, Great Britain's biggest single electoral area, delivered arguably the greatest shock of all, finally shattering the Remainers' hopes.
But only by the narrowest of margins. Half a million people voted. Leave's majority was just over 2,000.

There's an old truism in politics.
The electorate is always right. We are told the converse is equally true. The electorate is never wrong.
The thing about truisms is that there is often some truth in them.
The West Midlands has a long history of making things work. Just as the new prime minister wants Brexit to work.
But maintaining the optimism that's turned Digbeth into a hotspot for business start-ups could yet turn out to be the most challenging 'work in progress' of all.

After Steve Smith inspired Australia to 193-4, Shahid Afridi's side needed to pull off their highest chase in a T20.
Khalid Latif led the charge with 46 but James Faulkner took four of his five wickets from six late balls as Pakistan finished on 172-8.
The Aussies must now beat India on Sunday to reach the knockout stage.
Even a win for Pakistan, who suffered a third defeat in four matches, would have seen them relying on Australia to qualify.
Had they won, a narrow Australia win against India would have sent them through instead of the Aussies by virtue of their superior run-rate.
Unbeaten New Zealand, who play their last game against Bangladesh on Sunday, have already qualified from Group 2.
Pakistan made the semi-finals of the first four World T20s, but have now been eliminated from the group stage at the last two.
It was right-armer Faulkner who did for them, becoming just the sixth man to take a five-for in T20 internationals with four late wickets, having earlier dismissed the dangerous-looking Sharjeel Khan.
His figures of 5-27 are the fifth best at the World T20, the best by an Australian in any T20 game, and he twice had the chance to claim a hat-trick.
The 36-year-old Afridi may well have been playing his last match for Pakistan, having already retired from all other forms of the international game.
He came in to bat with his side still in with a chance on 85-3, requiring 109 with 57 balls, but there was to be no fairytale captain's innings.
He was stumped playing a loose swipe having made 14 from 7 balls, and whereas Australia accelerated strongly at the end of their innings, expertly guided by Smith and Shane Watson, Pakistan failed to maintain any late momentum.
"When I go back I will take a decision and whatever is better for the country I will go with that," Afridi said of rumours of his retirement.
"Let's see how things are doing, I will announce this in my country. As a player I am fine but as a captain it is hard being captain of Pakistan with the pressure, media pressure and expectancy."
Australia captain Smith displayed stunning range and versatility for his unbeaten 61 scored with eight fours and no sixes.
The highlight was surely when he went way wide, leaving his wicket totally exposed, hitting an audacious scoop to the boundary for what was without a doubt the best shot of the match.

Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi: ""I want to congratulate Australia but we are not good enough, the last four overs we gave 40 runs away and you cannot do that against a world class side."
Australia captain Steve Smith: "We haven't quite played to our potential in the first two games. Today was quite a clinical performance and I'm really proud of the boys.
"We just have to keep on winning. There's three more games if we want to win the World Cup. India will be tough. Hopefully we can keep playing some good cricket and give them a run for their money."
In the wake of guilty verdicts in a fraud trial that ended in February, Lloyds said it would offer compensation to the victims by the end of June.
However only a small fraction of the £100m it set aside has been paid out.
Lloyds, which bought HBOS in 2009, said many of the victims themselves had asked for more time to prepare.
Lloyds' Adrian White, who is leading the review, said; "Since the end of the HBOS Reading fraud trial, we have been working hard to provide fair, swift and appropriate compensation.
"But, as we have met and spoken with victims, many have asked us for more time. We are disappointed that getting to offers is taking longer than we had hoped, but we are committed to doing everything we can to support those affected as we continue with the review."
In the HBOS fraud, two corrupt HBOS bankers pressured small business customers into hiring a firm of so-called turnaround consultants called Quayside Corporate Services, led by David Mills.
Mills and his accomplices bribed the bank managers with cash, gifts and prostitutes, then used their relationship with the bank to bully the business owners into handing over exorbitant fees and, eventually, control of their companies. Many business owners were not only ruined but lost their marriages and their health.
Mills and the others, including former HBOS banker Lynden Scourfield, were convicted in January of various charges of fraud, corruption and money laundering between 2003 and 2007.
After years of denying any knowledge of criminality, Lloyds Banking Group came under pressure to take responsibility for crimes committed by its own staff. On 27 April the bank said it would offer victims compensation by the end of June.
However, the victims say the bank's compensation scheme isn't impartial. Of the 64 who've joined it, it's understood that fewer than 10 have received offers and only one settlement has been reached. Lloyds has yet to comment.
Dozens more victims have declined to join the scheme amid concern that the bank is seeking to dictate terms, imposing its own compensation scheme rather than consulting them.
Nigel Morgan, whose family lost millions and was driven into bankruptcy following the fraud, says the bank refused to help him with a modest sum to prepare a compensation claim. He says the bank has made no effort to try to reverse the bankruptcy and the trustee in bankruptcy now wants to control the claim for compensation.
"It's been 12 years since we were ruined by this and a very tough 12 years. I thought the bank would be decent enough to admit when it was wrong - but the way they're behaving to the victims is disgusting. The first thing they should have done is to send someone round and apologise unreservedly.
"We're constantly living on the edge, worried we won't keep what we have left; I'm having panic attacks every day. It's just an awful situation."
But Nikki Turner, one of the SME victims who also uncovered the fraud said: "We knew this process was biased and flawed, but now we learn it is also painfully slow.
"Lloyds says there are 67 business owners it knows to be impacted by the HBOS Reading scandal, but we believe it could be at least three times that number. If all are processed in this way, it will take... around four and a half years to finish the review."

American Airlines shares plummeted 5.2% after its release on Thursday, which included a 2% revenue increase - and the news it would provide raises to pilots and flight attendants.
Rival carriers also came under pressure, with Delta down 1.4% and United Continental down about 1%.
United is trying to move past bad publicity over its removal of a passenger from a flight, a case the company said it settled on Thursday.
Under Armour shares soared 9.3%, despite the sportswear maker reporting its first quarterly net loss since the company listed on the market in 2005.
It reported a net loss of $2.3m for the three months to March after a sharp fall in profit at its North American operations. However, the shares jumped as the loss was not as bad as feared.

Virtual reality usually involves putting on some glasses that contain video screens.

For years, virtual reality has been tipped as the next big thing in technology - but now it looks like it might finally be ready for action.
Eight Moroccans and a Spanish national were arrested in and around Barcelona, in the north-east, police said.
The raids were co-ordinated with Belgian and Moroccan police.
The suicide bomb attacks on the Brussels airport and metro killed 32 people in March 2016. They were claimed by so-called Islamic State (IS).
As well as the 32 victims of the bombings, three suicide bombers died.
Several other men, some identified on CCTV as having been accomplices of the attackers, were subsequently arrested.
The group has been linked to the November 2015 Paris attackers.
On Tuesday, Spanish police said the nine suspects - aged between 30 and 40 - were seized during raids on 12 properties.
"Four of those who were detained have links with people arrested for the attacks carried out at Brussels airport and metro," a spokesman for Catalonia's regional police told the AFP news agency.
It was not clear whether the four had been directly involved in the attacks, the spokesman added.
During the raids police seized guns and drugs, as well as computers and memory drives, which were being analysed.
The names of the nine men detained - most of whom have criminal records - have not been released.
Meanwhile, police in Morocco searched several properties belonging to family members of those being held. It was not immediately clear if any arrests were made.
The raids were part of an operation that followed an eight-month long investigation, police said.
Ministers said the plans would mean the "freest and most frictionless possible trade" with the rest of Europe.
This could include a "temporary customs union" after Brexit to prevent border problems as the UK leaves the EU.
Businesses have called for clarity since the UK said it was leaving the customs union - the EU's tariff-free trading area - as part of Brexit.
The customs union document is the first of a series of papers to be published by the UK government on key negotiation issues.
On Wednesday it is expected to set out proposals for the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Countries in the customs union don't impose tariffs - taxes on imports - on each other's goods.
Every country inside the union levies the same tariffs on imports from abroad.
So, for example, a 10% tariff is imposed on some cars imported from outside the customs union, while 7.5% is imposed on roasted coffee.
Other goods - such as soap or slate - have no tariffs.
The UK's departure from the EU's customs union was confirmed at the weekend in a joint article by Chancellor Philip Hammond and Trade Secretary Liam Fox.
According to the newly-published government paper, the UK could ask Brussels to establish a "temporary customs union" after it leaves the EU in March 2019.
But during this period, it would also expect to be able to negotiate its own international trade deals - something it cannot do as an EU customs union member.
Once this period expires, the UK will look to agree either a "highly streamlined" border with the EU, or a new "partnership" with no customs border at all.
The government said the interim arrangements would mean businesses would only have to adjust once to the new arrangements.
All of this will have to be negotiated with the EU - and the two sides have not yet even started discussing trade matters.
Other obstacles - including the size of the UK's "divorce bill" - need to be agreed first.
Keir Starmer, Labour's shadow Brexit secretary, said the proposals were "incoherent and inadequate" and were designed to "gloss over deep and continuing divisions within the cabinet".
"These fantastical and contradictory proposals provide no guidance for negotiators or certainty for businesses," he added.
Liberal Democrat Brexit spokesman Tom Brake said the plan would "only delay the economic pain caused by leaving the customs union".
"We still face the prospect of more red tape for businesses, longer queues at our borders and higher prices for consumers once the transition comes to an end."
However, the CBI, which represents British businesses, said the proposal was "encouraging".
Its deputy director general, Josh Hardie, added: "The clock is ticking and what matters now is giving companies the confidence to continue investing as quickly as possible."
Adam Fleming, BBC Brussels reporter, said the UK was seeking a customs union agreement "that will keep things broadly the same for an interim period - an attempt to reassure business".
"Firms will be told they'll only have to change their processes once," he said.
"In Brussels, EU negotiators are likely to stick to their position that that the future relationship can't be considered until agreement has been reached on their priority issues - the rights of citizens, a financial settlement and the Irish border."
BBC political correspondent Ben Wright said the UK government was "straining to show that it does have a route-map for Brexit".
He said ministers were also attempting to "subtly" put the issue onto the negotiating table sooner than Brussels wants.
"They want to hustle EU negotiators into talking about trade much sooner than Brussels intends," our correspondent said.
Grandfather Bob Kemp, 62, from Barry, stumbled over a low wall in the darkness at Sully Sports and Leisure Club in June 2012.
Newport Crown Court heard he fell just 4ft (1.2m) onto the grass below.
He was taken to the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, but never recovered.
Judge Ian Murphy QC said: "Mr Kemp was in perfectly good health, he was a healthy and happy man when he came out of that club.
"But he had been exposed to an unnatural risk to health."
The court heard, on the evening of the tragedy, the lights placed above the wall had not been working properly.
Alex Greenwood, prosecuting, said: "The club paid only lip service to health and safety issues."
But Sully Sports and Leisure Club claimed they had a "common sense" approach and denied any wrong doing.
However, the jury found it guilty of breaking health and safety laws after failing to provide adequate lighting.
The court also heard Mr Kemp's partner of almost 30 years, Jenny Newland, died a few months later.
Sam Kelly, 26, was driving on the M6 when his car crashed with a flatbed lorry between junctions 19 and 20 near Lymm in Cheshire on Saturday.
Mr Kelly, from Northwich, was airlifted to hospital and later died.
Paying tribute his family said "Sam the Man" was a "beautiful, fun loving, go getter" who "will be sadly missed".
Mae adroddiad gan banel ymgynghorol Llywodraeth Cymru yn dangos bod niferoedd y bobl hŷn sydd yn camddefnyddio alcohol a chyffuriau yn 'cynyddu ar raddfa gyflym.'
Mae'r Gweinidog Iechyd Cyhoeddus, Rebecca Evans AC wedi dweud bod yna "le i boeni" yn sgil yr adroddiad.
Yn ôl yr adroddiad, mae dros 900 o bobl dros eu 50au wedi eu gwenwyno ar ôl cymryd cyffuriau anghyfreithlon yn y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, tra bod nifer y rhai sydd wedi eu cludo i'r ysbyty yn sgil gorddefnydd o alcohol wedi parhau'n sefydlog.
Ychwanegodd yr adroddiad bod angen gwasanaethau arbennig ar gyfer pobl hŷn sydd yn cymryd cyffuriau a bod angen i'r gwasanaethau addasu i anghenion y dioddefwyr.
Dywedodd cadeirydd dros dro'r panel, Richard Ives: "Mae cyfran yr oedolion hŷn yn y boblogaeth yn cynyddu'n gyflym gan gynnwys nifer yr oedolion hŷn sydd â phroblemau camddefnyddio sylweddau.
"Mae'n rhaid i wasanaethau ymateb i'r newid cymdeithasol yma ac mae angen bod yn hyblyg o ran darparu triniaeth effeithiol ar gyfer y cleientiaid hŷn."
Mae'r adroddiad hefyd yn nodi bod nifer y bobl dros eu 50au sydd yn derbyn triniaeth gan wasanaethau cyffuriau ac alcohol wedi cynyddu dros 25% yn y pum mlynedd diwethaf i 3,515 yn 2015-16.
Roedd 16% gyda phroblem camddefnydd cyffuriau, gyda heroin yn cael ei ddefnyddio gan y rhan fwyaf.
Ychwanegodd Ms Evans ei bod hi'n cydnabod bod hi'n "sialens" gan ddweud: "Mae'r camddefnydd cyffuriau ymysg pobl hŷn yn broblem gynyddol.
"Mae'r lefelau o alcohol, y defnydd o gyffuriau anghyfreithlon a rhai wedi ei rhoi ar bresgripsiwn sydd yn cael ei gymryd yn achosi pryder.
"Mae Llywodraeth Cymru ac Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru yn cymryd nifer o gamau i gefnogi'r grŵp yma o bobl, gan gynnwys gweithredu fframwaith driniaeth wedi ei thargedu at bobl hŷn sydd yn camddefnyddio cyffuriau."
Mae disgwyl i'r panel adrodd ar y camddefnydd o gyffuriau sydd ar gael dros y cownter a'r rhai sydd wedi ei rhoi ar bresgripsiwn yn ddiweddarach eleni.
Players and coaches visited Aberfan Cemetery before laying a wreath at the memorial gardens.
Dan Biggar and Rhys Webb were among those who spent time with children from Ynysowen Primary School.
Head teacher Simone Roden said it brought "a lot of happiness" to pupils at a very sad time.
The village was devastated on 21 October 1966 when a colliery waste tip collapsed, engulfing Pantglas Junior School.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Theresa May said the people of Aberfan had shown great "solidarity and resilience" to overcome a "powerful tragedy".
The reigning world champion sprinted clear of a four-rider breakaway group to finish narrowly ahead of main rivals South African Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio and Italy's Elisa Longo Borghini.
Armitstead holds a five-second general classification lead over Moolman-Pasio.
Saturday's stage is a 119km ride from Nottingham to Stoke-on-Trent.
"My team-mate was in the breakaway early on and my tactic was to get across to her," said Armitstead, who gained 36 seconds on previous leader Marianne Vos, who now lies in fifth place.
"I attacked with two other girls - the strongest in the race - and it was an elimination process towards the finish," she added. "I attacked the cobbles first and got over the line."

Ten people died of cold in Poland on Sunday. The bodies of three migrants, two Iraqi and one Somali, were found near the Turkish-Bulgarian border.
Deaths have been reported in Italy, the Czech Republic, Russia and Ukraine.
Dozens of flights have been halted. In Turkey, the Bosphorus is closed to shipping after a snowstorm. Even Greece's islands are covered in snow.
In Serbia, all river transport is suspended on the Danube.
Your pictures: Icy weather causes disruption across Europe
The Medecins Sans Frontieres aid organisation said it was "very concerned about the thousands of vulnerable people across the continent in danger and stuck in undignified conditions".
It said "of particular concern are the 2,000 people living in informal settlements in Belgrade where temperatures are currently reaching -20C (-4F)". It added that the majority of them were young people from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Syria.
In Russia, temperatures in some regions have plunged below -40C.
Normally milder Greece has witnessed temperatures of -15C in the north, where an Afghan migrant died of cold last week and roads were closed.
In Athens, the temperature failed to rise above 0C over the weekend and many of the islands were covered in snow.
Some of the Greek islands are home to thousands of migrants and many are being moved to temporary housing and heated tents.
Homeless hostels in Italy are opening their doors day and night as the weather has been blamed for the deaths of seven people, five of them living out in the open.
Airports in Sicily, Bari and Brindisi closed over the weekend. Rome, too, saw freezing temperatures.
In Russia, Moscow experienced its coldest Orthodox Christmas in 120 years on 7 January.
Dozens of flights have been cancelled or delayed in the capital.
Schools in several regions of the country are closed on Monday, however officials say milder temperatures are expected in the coming days.
Prague had its coldest night so far this winter, Czech officials say, with six deaths reported, most of them homeless people.
With the 10 deaths confirmed in Poland on Sunday, officials say country's death toll from winter weather has risen to 65 since 1 November.
The cities of Warsaw and Krakow are on Monday providing commuters with free public transport as the authorities try to tackle high smog levels linked to the cold weather.
It will be installed around the St Nicholas Circle roundabout.
City mayor, Sir Peter Soulsby, said the disruption to roads was not ideal but the work was about reconnecting the city.
Eric Ludlow, from Leicester Cycling Campaign Group, said navigating the roundabout was a "high risk endeavour".
"Not many people [cycle round] it," he said.
"Most people, although it's illegal, take the much safer way out and go along the pavement.
"I go around it but I'm a confident cyclist and it isn't a pleasant experience by any means."
The work is part of the council's Connecting Leicester scheme.
One lane on the roundabout will be closed from Monday during off-peak hours as the layout is changed on the south side of the Circle.
Work will also include widening footpaths and removing a rundown footbridge.
Mr Soulsby said: "It isn't just about a cycle lane, it is about reconnecting Leicester and the landmarks of the city.
"You have to look at the bigger picture, and that is this city needs to move into the 21st century."
What's happening in Paris?
Many countries have shown that they're standing side by side with France, by sending messages of support and lighting their iconic buildings with the colours of the French flag.
Here's what's happening around the world...
The sitcom attracted its highest ever overnight audience for a single episode on Friday night.
It took a 58% share of the Scottish TV audience with 1.3 million viewers - beating its previous record of 1.2 million.
Airing for the first time on BBC One throughout the UK, it drew a total of audience of 3.2 million.
Still Game follows the antics of pensioners Jack Jarvis and Victor McDade and ran for six series between 2002 and 2007.
The new six-part series was commissioned after the show's writers and stars, Greg Hemphill and Ford Kiernan, rekindled their partnership for a Still Game live show at The Hydro in Glasgow.
The comedy had a 21-night sold-out run 18 months ago.
Friday's TV figures were second only to the Wimbledon men's final, which Andy Murray won, in terms of overnight audience in Scotland this year.
It also became the only non-sport BBC One programme so far this year to achieve a Scottish overnight audience of more than one million.
Ewan Angus, commissioning editor for BBC Scotland and executive producer of Still Game, said: "The return of Still Game has been hugely anticipated since it was announced earlier this year.
"It's without doubt a jewel in BBC Scotland's crown and we are delighted that it continues to sparkle for audiences.
"This is the first time Still Game has aired on BBC One throughout the UK and its heart-warming to see UK audiences getting to know Jack, Victor and the Craiglang gang in such numbers and we hope they continue to enjoy their stories over the next five weeks.
"These figures are testament to the hard work Ford, Greg and the whole team have invested in this new series and we are thrilled for it to be rewarded in this way."
Ford Kiernan added: "It felt like the Bells last night. There was no traffic outside, the pubs were quiet, it was odd but a comforting odd.
"The feedback from the audience has been immense, thanks so much."
Gen John Nicholson told the US Senate Armed Services Committee he had enough forces for counter-terror operations.
But he stressed extra troops were needed to help train the Afghan military. The soldiers, he said, could be American or from other Nato nations.
He accused Russia and Iran of trying to undermine Nato in Afghanistan.
Testifying before the Senate committee on Thursday, Gen Nicholson said: "We have a shortfall of a few thousand."
He said he had already discussed the issue with President Donald Trump's new Defence Secretary, James Mattis.
What will Trump do about Afghanistan?
There are currently about 8,400 US troops in Afghanistan in the 13,300-strong Nato contingent.
US combat operations against the Taliban officially ended in 2014 - but special forces have continued to provide support to Afghan troops.
Afghan forces have suffered thousands of casualties in the past two years.
Gen Nicholson described the current security situation in the country as a "stalemate", but added that the "equilibrium favours the government".
And he also expressed concerns about "the influence of external actors - particularly Russia, Pakistan and Iran".
He said this influence continued to "legitimise and support the Taliban and undermine the Afghan effort to create a stable Afghanistan".
Russia - which has recently invited a Taliban delegation for talks in Moscow - argues that its support for the Taliban helps to combat so-called Islamic State.
But Gen Nicholson said it was a "false narrative".
Carlton Street car park which adjoins the bus station is being wrapped in scaffolding and screens, before work to remove it gets under way.
The Wyvern Theatre car park will also close in mid-August and be demolished by the end of the year.
The redevelopment is the latest stage in the £350m Kimmerfields development in the town centre.
The Princes Street multi-storey car park and adjoining apartments have already been built as part of the scheme.
Work to turn Fleming Way into a bus-only route is due to begin in 2016.
It will see the elevated section of the road lowered to pedestrian level and an "uninviting" subway removed.
Once the changes to Fleming Way have been completed the bus station will relocate to the western end of the road.
Developers say the area will include a "linear park" connecting the business district and the station to the north with shops and restaurants.
The project is being run by Forward Swindon, which is leading the regeneration on behalf of Swindon Borough Council.
Forward Swindon is an independent company established and funded by the council in 2010 to "deliver and facilitate economic growth and property development in the town".
The Digital Media Initiative (DMI) was intended to move the BBC away from using and storing video tape.
But it was scrapped, with almost no results, after five years of development.
After investigating the demise of the project, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has branded the programme "a complete failure".
Chairman Margaret Hodge said the BBC needed to "overhaul" its approach to such projects, to "safeguard licence fee payers' money".
The BBC originally approved DMI in 2006. It was supposed to produce new editing tools, an online archive of the BBC's programmes and a new database.
Technology company Siemens was hired to develop the project in February 2008, and it was expected to be completed the following year.
However, after a series of delays, the project was brought in-house, There it floundered until last May, when the BBC's incoming director general, Tony Hall, admitted it had "wasted a huge amount of licence fee payers' money".
The gross estimate of the amount spent on DMI was £125.9m, although the BBC claims to have recouped £27.5m of that.
The BBC's technology chief, John Linwood, was sacked in July 2013 over the project's demise.
A previous report, by the National Audit Office (NAO), blamed "confusion and a lack of planning" for the failure.
It said that senior executives failed to take control of the project when it ran into trouble and "did not appear to appreciate the extent of the problems until a late stage".
The PAC published its own findings on Thursday. It reiterated several of the points raised in earlier reports and criticised the BBC for its failure to alert MPs of the problems.
"When my committee examined the DMI's progress in February 2011, the BBC told us that the DMI was... absolutely essential... and that a lot of the BBC's future was tied up in the successful delivery of the DMI," said Ms Hodge.
"The BBC also told us that it was using the DMI to make many programmes and was on track to complete the system in 2011 with no further delays.
"This turned out not to be the case. In reality the BBC only ever used the DMI to make one programme, called Bang Goes the Theory.
"The BBC was far too complacent about the high risks involved in taking it in-house. No single individual had overall responsibility or accountability for delivering the DMI and achieving the benefits, or took ownership of problems when they arose."
A BBC spokesman said: "Tony Hall was right to scrap the DMI project when he took over as director general last year. As we said at the time, the BBC didn't get DMI right and we apologised to licence fee payers.
"Since then we have completely overhauled how these projects are delivered so that there is crystal clear accountability and transparency."
A spokeswoman for the BBC Trust, the corporation's governing body, said: "As we have said before, this represented an unacceptable loss to licence fee payers.
"Acting on the conclusions of previous reports into DMI, we have strengthened reporting to the Trust so that problems are spotted early and dealt with quickly.
"We are also carrying out follow up reviews once projects are completed to make sure the lessons from DMI are being implemented."
The firm made loss after tax of 1.08bn euros ($1.4bn; £905m). Net sales fell 21% on a year earlier to 10bn euros.
Net sales of mobile phones were down by a quarter.
In October, Nokia launched its first two Windows-based smartphones which it hopes will help it gain ground on Apple and Android-based competitors.
"The fourth quarter of 2011 marked a significant step in Nokia's transformation," said chief executive Stephen Elop.
"Overall, we are pleased with the performance of our mobile phones business."
The former market-leader in mobile phones has lost out to the iPhone and other smartphones that use Google's Android operating system.
To try to catch up, it decided to dump its legacy Symbian software in favour of Microsoft for its new range of smartphones.
It launched the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 models in October in a number of markets in Europe and Asia, and earlier this month re-entered the US market. It has now sold more than one million Lumias.
Nokia said it would be launching the new smartphone models in China and Latin America in the first half of this year.
The company said 2012 would continue to be a "year of transition" so it would not be giving any sales or profits forecasts.
On Wednesday, Nokia said it had sold its 1.5 billionth mobile phone based on its S40 operating system.
It estimated there are currently 675 million active owners of S40 phones in the world, and said it is currently selling about 12 phones of the S40 family every second.
The doors on the Western Hangar on Pembroke Dock's dockyard were kept firmly locked during the spring of 1979, with workers sworn to secrecy.
They were building the Millennium Falcon, the iconic spaceship in the Star Wars film The Empire Strikes Back.
The town is now celebrating its links with the "fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy".
The top secret Millennium Falcon project was given the code name The Magic Roundabout.
It also lends itself to the name of the community arts film which premieres not in a galaxy far far away, but in Pembroke Dock's Pater Hall on Saturday.
It tells the story through the adventures of a group of children who stumble across the secret spaceship, and features interviews with the men who built it.
Sharron Harris, from Curious Ostrich Productions, said: "It's a fascinating story.
"You'd think everybody in Pembroke Dock would have known about it, and I'm surprised very few people did."
The 10 minute film, which features some unseen photographs, was inspired by a song local musician Andy Brindley had written about the Millennium Falcon.
"The community really came on board," said Ms Harris.
"Our last film took three days, but this one took about a year as we got totally embroiled in people's stories and everyone from 80 year-olds to children wanted to be in it."
Code Name Magic Roundabout will be shown at 19:00, 20:00 and 21:00 GMT.
Jeff Waterman, whose stories inspired the script for the film, was part of the team which built the Millennium Falcon.
He said: "It all started with a friend of mine coming to my house one night and asking if I wanted a job. Knowing him as a prankster, I asked what sort of job?
"He told me he was building a spaceship and that I should meet him at the dockyard.
"Into the hangar I went and there it was in front of me.
"It was all steelwork and it was our job to cover it with plywood and timber and make it look like a spaceship."
Once complete, the Millennium Falcon was transported to studios in Hertfordshire, where The Empire Strikes Back was being filmed.
When the film was released the following year it was a box office smash, and so too was the 1983 film Return of the Jedi.
This was to be the last time the spaceship featured on the big screen.
The St Andrews University collection includes previously unseen images of now-classic Ryder Cup moments.
They are part of an archive of more than 10,000 Levy pictures from the 1980s and 1990s now available online.
Europe and the USA meet for the tournament at Gleneagles this week.
Lawrence Levy was the official photographer for the European Ryder Cup team, and spent 20 years devoted to taking pictures of the sport before he died of cancer aged 47.
The university's special collections team is digitising a collection of more than 250,000 photographs donated by the Joseph Levy Foundation, including 1,500 taken at Ryder Cup tournaments between 1979 and 1993.
The process of digitising the original photographs is ongoing, and collection cataloguer Trevor Ledger said more will be added to the online archive on a weekly basis.
He said: "The Lawrence Levy collection is one of the most complete photographic records of professional golf through the 1980s and 1990s.
"As official photographer for the European team, Lawrence held a unique position and was able to capture some incredible images from inside the ropes - indeed from inside the changing room too."
Images brought together in the collection include Sam Torrance clinching victory for Europe with a 22ft putt at the Belfry in 1985 before celebrating with Howard Clark, returning captain Tom Watson's win in 1993, and pictures of fans, families and media figuresl including Peter Alliss.
Residents of Godolphin Cross near Helston emailed him in a desperate attempt to raise funds.
The village shares a name with the world famous Godolphin stables, founded by the sheikh, Cornwall Live reports.
Richard Mckie from the Godolphin Cross Community Association said: "We are extremely appreciative."
The group needed £90,000 to buy the chapel that they intend to convert into a community centre, and had raised £25,000 towards it.
More on this story, and other Cornwall news
It's not known how much was contributed by the sheikh, but Mr Mckie said "it has pushed us across the line".
One villager, Valerie Wallace, had the idea as a last ditch attempt, with the group having failed to raise sufficient funds elsewhere.
"We thought nothing of it and then we began to get phone calls from Dubai," Mr Mckie said.
"We thought we were being hoaxed but it was no hoax."
The sheikh, who has been invited to visit the village, was unavailable for comment.
The group now needs to raise a further £350,000 to restore the hall. | Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, owner of The Times, The Sunday Times and The Wall Street Journal newspapers, saw third quarter net profits fall 52%, compared with the same period in 2014.

That modern white building just across the lake is the current Skype office, he explains. The red brick building right outside the window is where Estonia's most famous tech company started.
Mr Heinla was part of the team that started the internet call firm and he's speaking to me at a new business partially funded with the money he made there.
Starship Technologies, founded with another Skype alumnus, has an even more ambitious aim - to build a fleet of delivery robots that will transform the economics of bringing parcels the last mile to your home.
Outside, we watch one of the robots trundle back and forth along the pavement, using technology similar to that which guides driverless cars but developed by the small team of engineers based here in Tallinn.
I tell Ahti I'm sceptical about two things - the business model and the security of the robots.
He insists that sending out dozens of these devices from some urban depot carrying a bag of flour or a pizza is a more practical proposition than deliveries using self-driving cars or drones.
I'm not convinced the little robots won't be tormented or vandalised as they make their way along the gritty streets but he says the company has tested them over thousands of miles in Tallinn, London and the United States without suffering major mishaps.
It may succeed, it may not, but Starship Technologies is just one of a number of Estonian startups, many of them with Skype connections, that make this one of Europe's most energetic tech clusters.
Even if they have no connection with the company - which was bought by eBay in 2005 and then sold on to Microsoft in 2011 - other entrepreneurs here acknowledge its vital role.
"It's the equivalent of having a couple of world-class universities," Andrei Korobeinik, who started a major social network here and served as an MP, told me.
"Companies like Skype are a huge deal for a small country - it's changed the whole infrastructure - it had a huge impact on the ecosystem."
He was one of the older people I met at an exuberant event called Mobile Monday, where young Estonian entrepreneurs came to hear the experiences of people like him. It was a relaxed and convivial atmosphere - one speaker started his presentation about a failed social network for pets with a slide captioned "We didn't really know what we were doing", while a dog ran around under his feet.
The evening - all of it conducted in English - had been organised by a student called Anni-Brit Remmelg. Like everyone, she had a couple of startup ideas running alongside her studies.
I asked her where this can-do attitude came from.
"Even in middle school, there's a strong message," she told me. "Don't be afraid, learn how to code even if you're a girl. If you say you're studying IT that's the coolest thing you can do - it's your parents' dream."
Estonia has quite a few disadvantages - a tiny home market, a winter that seems to go on forever (although the weather was lovely for our visit), and poor connections with the rest of Europe. But the legacy of Skype combined with the energy and engineering skills of young Estonians has made this into a startup nation to rival any in Europe.

More than 3,000 nine and 10-year-olds in 48 UK schools took part in hour-long sessions aimed at raising their ability to question, reason and form arguments.
A study for the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) found pupils' ability in reading and maths scores improved by an average of two months over a year.
For disadvantaged children, the study found writing skills were also boosted.
The trial of the Philosophy for Children programme (P4C) focused on children in Years 4 and 5 - aged nine and 10.
It was part of efforts by the charity, EEF, to evaluate ways in which schools are spending pupil premium money beneficially on children from poorer backgrounds.
The disadvantaged pupils in the trial, those on free school meals, saw their reading skills improve by four months, their maths by three months and their writing ability by two months.
Lead researcher Prof Stephen Gorard, from the School of Education at Durham University, said: "Our results suggest that these philosophy sessions can have a positive impact on pupils' maths, reading and perhaps their writing skills.
"But crucially, they seem to work especially well for the children who are most disadvantaged. This is very encouraging as we, along with the EEF, are committed to helping tackle educational disadvantage.
"Evidence like this is extremely important in identifying what works and what doesn't, and to help head teachers decide how to spend their pupil premium funding for most benefit to their pupils."
The findings could have added significance because research has shown that many interventions aimed at helping disadvantaged pupils to catch up actually boost their more advantaged peers as well.
This can make it difficult to close the gap in achievement between rich and poorer pupils.
The study said that, at £30 per pupil, P4C could be a cost-effective way for schools to spend their pupil premium money.
Teachers also reported a beneficial impact on pupils' confidence, patience and self-esteem as well as their raw results from the philosophy classes.
In a typical session, pupils and teachers sit together in a circle. The pupils are shown a video clip or newspaper article to stimulate their interest in a subject. This is followed by a short period of silent thinking time.
The class then splits into pairs or small groups to discuss questions on the subject before coming back together for a whole-class discussion.
Subjects covered included whether a healthy heart should be donated to a person who has not looked after themselves.
Jones predicted that Ireland will play a "kick and clap" match in Saturday's game at Aviva Stadium, in other words launch a barrage of high balls.
England need to win to complete back-to-back Grand Slam championship wins.
"We have got a pretty clear plan, as we always do, and we will just keep trying to do that better," said Sexton.
"That is the key. I have never worked under him (Jones) so I don't know what he is like behind the press.
"It is not Eddie I am trying to please, it is (Ireland coach) Joe (Schmidt) I am trying to please," added the Irish number 10.
Victory for England, already crowned Six Nations champions, over Ireland in Dublin would see them set a new record of 19 consecutive Test wins by a leading rugby union nation.
Ireland, by contrast, saw their title hopes ended with a 22-9 defeat by Wales last week, a match in which playmaker Sexton was sin-binned.
Jones's perceived attempt at mind games follow his comments last year that Sexton's parents would be "worried" about his long-term health following a history of concussion injuries.
Ireland officials reacted furiously to the implication they were taking risks with the British and Irish Lions' fly-half's long-term health.
Sexton will be without regular half-back partner Conor Murray, who has failed to recover from a shoulder injury suffered against Wales, for a match where an Ireland win could still see them finish second in the Championship.
Instead he will have the inexperienced Kieran Marmion alongside him at scrum-half, but Sexton said there would be no additional burden on his shoulders because of Murray's absence.
"I feel pressure every game I play for Ireland and every game I play for Leinster because I put pressure on myself and guys around you put pressure on you," he said.
It was Ireland who ended New Zealand's 18-match winning streak with a 40-29 victory over the world champions in Chicago in November and now they hope to repeat the feat against England.
"We want to be the team that's fighting for the championship and trying to be consistent," said Sexton.
"Now we're in a position where we have nothing to play for except to stopping them doing something.
"We don't want to be in that situation but we are and we've probably got to enjoy it now. We can think about how we're going to become the team that England and the All Blacks are after the Championship."

Two people were seriously hurt and 31 others injured in the blast in New Ferry, Wirral on Saturday evening.
More than 100 people were evacuated from their homes, but those living further away from the blast can now return, Wirral Borough Council said.
More residents should be allowed access to their homes over the next 24 hours.
The cordon around the immediate scene remains in place as the council, Merseyside Police, Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service, the Health and Safety Inspectorate and National Grid continue to jointly investigate the cause of the explosion.
Police are using sniffer dogs to search the debris.
On Wednesday, Wirral South MP Alison McGovern asked the prime minister for government help to assist the "devastated" area around the blast site.
A community hub opened at New Ferry village hall has been giving support and advice to people and businesses affected by the explosion.
The court said that same-sex couples could only adopt a child if it was the offspring of one of the partners.
Discussion about whether to lift the current restrictions had dominated social media in the hours before the ruling.
It comes almost two years after the country's Congress voted against allowing gay marriages.
Colombian media said the ruling showed great wisdom, arguing that it took the middle road between allowing same-sex couples to freely adopt children and banning same-sex adoption outright.
But lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) groups expressed their disappointment, saying the ruling did not go far enough.
Senator Armando Benedetti, a supporter of LGBT rights, called the judges "cowards".
The president of Colombia's Conference of Bishops, the Right Reverend Monsignor Luis Augusto Castro Quiroga, said he would continue fighting for "the right of children to have a father and a mother".
"Two mums don't make a dad," he said.
The decision by the court does not prevent Congress from legislating on the issue in the future.
In fact, the court suggested Congress should debate the "legislative vacuum" LGBT couples face in Colombia.

Industrial production rose 0.4% in May, helped by a 7.3% rise in oil and gas output and higher mining output.
However, manufacturing continued to lag behind, falling by 0.6% last month after a fall of 0.4% in April.
Manufacturers have struggled against the strength of the pound and weak demand in European markets.
The numbers suggested "a persistent weakness" developing in manufacturing, said UBS economist David Tinsley.
"The last few months' readings of manufacturing output have been soft, and surveys such as the PMI are also suggesting slower growth," he added.
Compared with a year earlier, industrial output rose by 2.1%, the strongest annual growth since April of last year, and manufacturing was up 1.0%.
George Osborne is expected to announce more help for manufacturers in his Budget announcement on Wednesday.
Activists said at least 20 rebels and a civilian, and an unconfirmed number of troops, were killed in air strikes and in fresh fighting there.
Rebels captured the provincial governor when they routed regime forces in the city on Monday.
If the city falls it would mark a significant victory for the rebels.
"The centre of the city is being bombarded by warplanes. I counted 60 rockets," Reuters news agency quoted an unnamed resident as saying.
Government forces had been sent to retake the city, Sharif Shihada, a member of the Syrian parliament, told al-Jazeera television, Reuters said.
Rebels had taken control of most of Raqqa but there were still pockets of resistance, including inside the intelligence building in the city, activists said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based activist group, said 20 rebel fighters and "tens of regular soldiers" were killed in fighting on Tuesday, while a civilian was shot dead by a sniper.
The SOHR said there were reports of further casualties from air strikes.
The SOHR is one of the most prominent organisations documenting and reporting incidents and casualties in the Syrian conflict. The group says its reports are impartial, though its information cannot be independently verified.
Unverified video footage purported to show at least two explosions hitting the city centre square, shortly after crowds had toppled a statue of former Syrian President Hafez al-Assad.
People were seen fleeing in panic, with casualties scattered on the ground.
The cameraman is heard to say: "War plane shelling... God is greater than you, Bashar [al-Assad]... The injured have fallen."
Raqqa, situated on the Euphrates River near the Turkish border, has been a refuge for hundreds of thousands of Syrians who fled the violence in other parts of the country.
According to Reuters, some residents had pleaded with rebels not to enter the city, fearing it would bring retribution from government forces.
Late on Monday, rebels fought their way into governor Hassan Jalili's palace, taking him and the ruling Baath party's secretary general for Raqqa province, Suleiman Suleiman, captive.
Amateur video appeared to show the two men seated, surrounded by jubilant rebels.
"All we want is to get rid of the regime," a voice is heard telling the two captives.
The SOHR described Mr Jalili's seizure as "the highest profile capture by rebels of a regime official".
According to the SOHR, a high-ranking state security officer was also taken captive by rebels, and a senior police official was killed.
It is a concerted attempt to show their leaders are responding to public concern over the Panama Papers leak.
The UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain have agreed to the data exchange.
Treasury officials told the BBC the move would make it harder for businesses and wealthy individuals to operate without paying correct taxes.
Information on the ultimate "beneficial owners" of companies and trusts would now be automatically exchanged.
The five countries are now pushing for the rest of the G20 nations with the world's largest economies to follow suit.
That would mean data exchange on previously secret tax information between countries such as America, Saudi Arabia and China.
Some might see any such extension as unlikely.
Q&A: Panama Papers
How assets are hidden and taxes dodged
Panama leaks spur global investigations
The UK government has already announced that it will make its register of beneficial ownership public - and is privately urging the other four signatories of the deal to agree that the public can have access to the information.
"Today we deal another hammer blow against those who hide their illegal tax evasion in the dark corners of the financial system," Mr Osborne said at the annual International Monetary Fund spring meeting in Washington.
"Britain will work with our major European partners to find out who really owns the secretive shell companies and trusts that have been used as conduits for evading tax, laundering money and benefitting from corruption."
The exchange is unlikely to placate critics who say that not enough has been done to crack down on global tax avoidance and tax evasion, often via offshore trusts and companies based in tax havens.
Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader, has suggested that some tax havens under British jurisdiction such as the British Virgin Islands should face direct rule from the UK if they do not reform their tax laws.
The move on data exchange comes ten days after the leak of 11.5 million documents known as the Panama Papers which revealed how some businesses and wealthy individuals avoided and evaded tax using complicated networks of highly secretive companies.
"It is Britain and our European partners setting the pace on beneficial ownership transparency of not just companies but also trusts with tax consequences - and I expect that the rest of the world will move to follow our example," Mr Osborne said.
"It shows the benefit of working together. No single country can tackle international tax evasion alone - and Britain should never fool itself into thinking that it can do this by itself."
The agreement was announced at an unprecedented joint press conference of the finance ministers of the five EU countries at the IMF.
Mr Osborne was joined by Wolfgang Schauble of Germany and Michel Sapin of France.
Also at the announcement was Christine Lagarde, managing director of the IMF, and Angel Gurria, Secretary General of the OECD, the international body charged with setting new global tax rules on information sharing and transparency.

Magstim Company Limited, which manufactures devices used in brain therapy, has announced plans to expand its plant in Whitland.
The company said the move will take its total workforce there to 150 and will boost its market in the USA.

Managing director Robin Davies said expansion would "help us achieve our growth plans".
Economy Minister Edwina Hart said: "It's always good to see an indigenous company with considerable expertise in its specialist field continuing to make its mark worldwide.
"It serves to promote Welsh capability on an international stage and is a very welcome boost for our rapidly expanding life science sector."
The photo, showing the man wearing blue jeans, black shirt, and baseball cap, carrying a gun and rucksack, was run by many Indonesian media outlets.
It was widely shared online as well and he became the face of the terror that was gripping Jakarta.
Now authorities have identified him as Afif Sunakim.
He was among five attackers killed by police. Two civilians were killed and dozens injured, including foreigners.
Indonesia's new breed of militants
Key suspect behind attacks
National Police Chief, General Badrodin Haiti said they had identified four of the five attackers. They are hunting terror cells after the assault was claimed by so-called Islamic State (IS).
Afif spent seven years in jail for attending a training boot camp for militants in Aceh, Gen Haiti said.
Afif (also known as Sunakim), was captured by the police in 2010, Indonesian terrorism analyst, Solahudin, told BBC Indonesia's Ging Ginanjar.
He was then sent to Cipinang prison in Jakarta. In that prison, according to Solahudin, Afif's ideology becoming more radical, especially when he met Aman Abdurrahman- a central figure connecting dozens of organisations aligned with IS in Indonesia.
"Afif [was] freed from prison around August to September 2015. He was originally from Karawang, West Java," said Solahudin, author of the book The Roots of Terrorism in Indonesia.
BBC Indonesia can confirm that though he was sentenced to seven years in prison, he was released early on parole, according to a source close to the anti-terror agency.
Police said two other attackers were also previously convicted militants.
Officers moved in around 07:00 (05:00 GMT) to remove caravans parked in the sprawling camp as Roma families hastily packed up their belongings.
Many people had already left the camp, where 200 people were living, during the night, French media report.
On Wednesday, Interior Minister Manuel Valls drew criticism for his stance.
After the Socialist minister said few Roma could ever integrate into French society and "the majority" should be sent "back to the borders", human rights campaigners, the European Commission and one of his cabinet colleagues voiced indignation.
Amnesty International said more than 10,000 Roma had been evicted from temporary camps in the first half of the year and Mr Valls's remarks were likely to "perpetuate stereotypes and encourage animosity".
Some 20,000 Roma have settled in France, coming mainly from Romania, Bulgaria and the former Yugoslavia.
The police operation in Roubaix, on the Belgian border near the city of Lille, took place peacefully, according to French news website Nordeclair, which carried video of the clearance.
The mayor of Roubaix, Pierre Dubois, said the town had asked police to clear the camp for reasons of "security, hygiene and major inconvenience to local residents".
Roubaix was already providing accommodation for 150 Roma at two sites, he added, asking for those evicted to be re-housed elsewhere.
But the eviction was criticised by politician Majdouline Sbai, who is deputy head of the Nord/Pas-de-Calais regional council.
She said that many children from the camp had been enrolled in local schools and that the eviction had been carried out without any substantial offer of new accommodation.
The treatment of Roma people - who face widespread discrimination in Europe - is a political hot potato in France.
Mr Valls has encouraged local councils to systematically dismantle illegal Roma slums, and offer the expelled residents free flights back to their countries of origin.
He has also been at the forefront of French opposition to allowing Bulgaria and Romania full access to the passport-free Schengen zone.
McIlroy, 26, made eight birdies during his six-under-par 66, two shots fewer than world number one Jordan Spieth, who was in the same group as McIlroy.
American amateur Bryson DeChambeau leads on eight under with Sweden's Henrik Stenson on seven under.
"It was a great way to start the year, I could not be happier," McIlroy said.
"I felt in practice last week that I was swinging well and I came back mentally fresh and excited to play again."
World number three McIlroy was playing for the first time since winning the DP World Tour Championship in November and the Northern Irishman's performance impressed American Spieth.
"It was a masterclass, the Rory that I have seen win major championships," said 22-year-old Spieth, who won the Masters and the US Open in 2015.
English duo Richard Bland and Andy Sullivan are tied for fifth on five under, while fellow Englishmen David Howell and Matthew Fitzpatrick are level with Spieth in tied seventh on four under.
DeChambeau carded seven birdies and an eagle in an impressive 64 to become the surprise leader in Abu Dhabi.
The 22-year-old describes himself as a "golf scientist" and has modified his irons so they are all the length of a six iron.
"It was quite incredible," DeChambeau said of his round. "I had no expectations and was just able to freewheel a little bit and that allows me to do my best."
The report says Ethiopia has cut the number of child deaths to 68 per 1,000 births from more than 200 in 1990.
The government attributed the improved figures to its growing economy.
Despite the reduction, the UN Children's Fund said Ethiopia needed to do much more to improve health facilities for pregnant women.
Ethiopia is one of Africa's poorest states, although it has experienced rapid economic growth in recent years and is one of the continent's leading coffee producers.
Its economy revolves around agriculture, which in turn relies on rainfall.
The BBC's Emmanuel Igunza in the capital, Addis Ababa, says Ethiopia was once a byword for malnutrition in Africa.
But the latest Unicef figures show Ethiopia is one of the few African countries on the path to realising the millennium development goal of reducing child mortality rates, he says.
Ethiopia's Health Minister Kesetebirhan Admasu said increasing household incomes had helped improve people's health.
"This has also resulted in better nutrition for children [and] women; this has translated into better sanitation - all these have direct or indirect impact on the survival of children," he told BBC Africa.
He said the government has also been "aggressively expanding its primary healthcare network".
"We have now 93% coverage of one health centre for 25,000 people, which basically means one health facility within a 7km (four mile) radius," he said.
Kinondoni District Commissioner Paul Makonda said he hopes to expand the scheme across the entire city.
The trips on the "daladala" bus taxis will be paid for by the city's associations, echoing a scheme where soldiers travel for free on buses.
Mr Makonda set up the scheme after First Lady Janeth Magufuli visited a local school in February.
Her former colleagues at the Mbuyuni primary school, where she taught for over 15 years, mentioned room shortages and transport difficulties as current problems.
Teachers greeted the news with smiles and proudly showed the new ID cards showing they are entitled to free transport to the BBC's Tulanana Bohela in Dar es Salaam.
Kinondoni, which has a population of over one million, currently provides students with 50% discount on travel and has around 35,000 teachers.
The ID cards are expected to be available for 3,000 teachers by the end of the week.
Journeys which normally cost around 400 shillings (18 US cents; 12p) are free between 05:30 and 08:00 and 15:00 to 17:00 to those holding the special card.
People were admitted with diarrhoea and vomiting over the weekend and some have been confirmed as cases of norovirus.

Admissions to four wards have been stopped as a precautionary measure, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said the operation was "over for now" and the planes had gone.
Iran's Defence Minister Hossein Deghan had earlier criticised Russia for publicising the raids last week, saying it had exhibited a "show-off" attitude.
Russia for its part has confirmed that all of its planes used from Iran for Syria strikes are now back in Russia.
Russia. like Iran, is a key ally of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
Last Tuesday, Russia's defence ministry announced that Tupolev-22M3 long-range bombers and Sukhoi-34 strike fighters had used the Shahid Nojeh airbase near the western city of Hamedan to carry out air strikes on "terrorists" in Syria.
The raids were the first carried by Russia from a third country since it began an air campaign against Mr Assad's opponents almost a year ago, and also the first launched from Iranian soil by a foreign military since World War Two.
Russia now says that aircraft which were based at the Hamedan air base are no longer located there and have returned to the Russian Federation.
Defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying that future use of the base will now only take place "on the basis of mutual agreements between the two countries on the fight against terrorism and will depend on developments in Syria".
The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, previously lauded the "strategic" co-operation with Russia. But some MPs complained that it breached the Islamic Republic's constitution, which prohibits allowing foreign militaries to be based on its territory.
In an interview with state TV on Monday, Gen Deghan stressed that Russia would only use the Nojeh airbase "for a very short and fixed span, corresponding [to an] operation in Syria".
Gen Deghan was asked why Russia had chosen to reveal its presence there whereas Iran had not.
"The Russians are interested to show they are a superpower to guarantee their share in the political future of Syria and, of course, there has been a kind of show-off and ungentlemanly [attitude] in this field."
Gen Deghan explained that Russia had "decided to bring in more planes and boost its speed and accuracy in operations".
"Therefore, it needed to refuel in an area closer to the operation. That's why they used the Nojeh base. But we have definitely not given them a military base."
Hours later, Mr Qasemi announced that Russia's deployment had ended.
"It was a specific, authorised mission and it's over for now. They conducted it and they are gone now," he was quoted by the official news agency as saying.
The US, which backs the opposition to Syria's president, had said Russia's use of the Iranian base was "unfortunate but not surprising".
The Rocky spin-off was also given prizes for lead actor Michael B Jordan and for supporting players Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson.
The best ensemble performance award went to Straight Outta Compton, which also won for best original screenplay.
Brie Larson won best actress for Room and George Miller won best director for Mad Max: Fury Road, which also won the best cinematography prize.
Beasts of No Nation received a special mention, with young lead Abraham Attah getting the BFCC's rising star award.
The US critics' association called the Ghanaian's debut as an African child soldier was "one of the strongest and most phenomenal we have ever seen" and said he had "a very bright future ahead of him".
Rapper Ice Cube, producer of NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton, won a pioneer award for showing "artistic integrity and an unerring commitment to excellence".
Cube, the BFCC said, "continues to defy expectations [and] expand the boundaries of what black film-makers can achieve".
The Black Film Critics Circle also released their top 10 films of 2015.
Creed sees former boxing champion Rocky Balboa, played by Stallone, serve as trainer and mentor to the son of his late rival Apollo Creed.
Abertawe Bro Morgannwg wants to encourage the 500,000 people who live in its area to exercise regularly.
It is hosting an event on Monday to discuss a new strategy for local organisations.
It includes holding walking meetings instead of boardroom meetings.
The board said physical activity levels in adults and children in the three counties are "worryingly" low, with one in three people leading an almost sedentary lifestyle.
What we should be doing:
Sara Hayes, ABMU's director of public heath, said: "Nearly one in five of all deaths in the ABMU area could be prevented if everybody moved enough.
"We were made to be active and being active is a natural and healthy thing to do. The problem is that physical activity levels are far too low and they have not increased for over 10 years."
She said the new Promise to Move More strategy is aimed at building regular exercise into everyday lives.
It includes things like scrapping 'keep off the grass' and 'no ball games' signs to encourage outdoor play, to supporting walking meetings where staff go for a brisk walk for a discussion instead of sitting around a table.
The event on Monday takes place at Swansea University Bay Campus at 13:00 BST.
It was dredged up by coracleman Andrew Davies while casting his nets on the River Towy in Carmarthen.
These types of swords are strongly associated with Indonesia, but can also be found in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines.
Pictures have been sent to the British Museum to find out how it reached the river and how long it has been there.
Mr Davies said he was fishing for sea trout in the river behind the town's B&Q store at night.
"As I pulled the net in, the sword was hanging in the back," he said.
"It is about 3ft (0.9m) long and has an eagle's head where the handle is."
He took the sword to Carmarthenshire County Museum in nearby Abergwili.
Curator Gavin Evans said the sword gave an initial impression of being Roman, but on closer inspection he realised it was "something much more exotic".
He said: "Carmarthen, up until the industrial revolution, was in some senses the most important town in Wales, so there would have been a lot of comings and goings of goods and of people to the town."
Mr Evans said there were "a number of scenarios" for why the sword ended up in the River Towy, with the most likely that it was brought back by a sailor who had been travelling around the world and it had fallen overboard.
Mr Davies said he thinks he will get to keep the sword, although "it is not the sort of thing you can hang on the wall in the house".
"As far a value is concerned, it's the historical value more than anything," he added.
Police had initially asked for help to trace Farrah Fadli, 29, McKenzie Scullion, 10, and Eva Kerr, 4.
They had been missing since about 11:00 on Wednesday, and officers were concerned for their welfare.
At about 19:15 on Friday Ms Fadli, who lives in Ayr and is also known as Farrah Gillespie, left the children with a friend in Irvine.
Ms Fadli remains missing. She is 5ft 4in, of slim build with dyed blonde hair.
Officers said she has not gone missing before.
A police spokesman said: "Farrah is still missing. She dropped off the children at a friend's house in Irvine around 7.15pm last night but left soon after.
"Police are continuing their search for Farrah and would appeal to either herself to get in touch with them or her family or for anyone who knows where she is to contact officers at Ayr Police Office via 101."
Thomas Tooth, 32, from Middleton, Greater Manchester, was detained in Badacsonytoma, by Hungarian Police and Greater Manchester Police.
Tooth was convicted of wounding in his absence in 2010 following the assault outside The Angel pub, Royton, in 2008.
The National Crime Agency said he would be sentenced following extradition.
Tooth has evaded justice since 2010 when he failed to appear at court and was found guilty in his absence of affray and unlawful wounding.
Dave Allen, head of the International Crime Bureau at the agency, said: "Thomas Tooth is a violent criminal who wanted to evade justice by fleeing the country."
Tooth is the 10th fugitive to be arrested as part of Operation Return, a joint initiative involving the National Crime Agency, Crimestoppers UK, Bel M (Dutch Crimestoppers) and the Dutch authorities.
He featured in an Operation Return campaign after spending some time in the Netherlands while on the run.
Victorino Chua, 49, denies murdering three patients at Stepping Hill Hospital, Stockport.
Prof Brian Frier, the first defence witness, told Manchester Crown Court hypoglycaemia or low blood sugar may not have killed the patients.
The jury heard he had written hundreds of publications on the conditions.
Mr Chua, of Heaton Norris, is accused of murdering Tracey Arden, 44, Derek Weaver, 83, and Arnold Lancaster, 71, by poisoning them with insulin.
Prof Frier told the jury that hypoglycaemia may or may not have hastened the deaths of Ms Arden and Mr Weaver.
In the case of Ms Arden, he said going any further would be "entirely speculating."
Asked about Mr Weaver's death, he said: "It's unlikely the hypoglycaemia precipitated his demise".
The defence agree Ms Arden and Mr Weaver were wrongly given insulin but insist the defendant did not administer the hormone.
Prof Frier said Mr Lancaster was "teetering on the edge of hypoglycaemia... at admission."
He added a drop in blood sugar was the result of terminal cancer and septicaemia, adding: "It's a final event in the course of his illness."
The court was told Mr Lancaster's cancer was so advanced his liver was almost completely replaced by tumours.
Prosecution witness Dr Peter Kroker had previously told the jury he believed hypoglycaemia most likely contributed to Ms Arden and Mr Weaver's deaths.
He added it was "more likely than not" the alleged administration of insulin hastened Mr Lancaster's death and it was a "major metabolic attack" on the patient's system.
Mr Chua also denies poisoning another 18 patients using saline solution contaminated with insulin in the summer of 2011 and altering prescription charts on a ward at the hospital in January 2012.
The case continues.
It marked the end of an epic 36-hour rescue operation after the collapse of an under-construction flyover in the city.
Rescuers worked through the night in the Girish Park area, where the bypass collapsed, killing at least 24 people and injuring hundreds.
The exhaustion of their exertions was written in the faces of the rescue workers. Their uniforms were dusty and their hair was matted with sweat as they sat, shoulders slumped, on girders and mounds of rubble around the site.
What had been an effort to save survivors and recover bodies became something much simpler: a clean-up job.
In came the mechanical diggers, hefting great loads of debris onto the backs of battered trucks.
This would normally be one of the busiest parts of one of India's busiest cities and all around was evidence of the scale of the tragedy: a twisted and burnt motorcycle, the shattered remains of an auto-rickshaw, a discarded handbag and - amongst the wreckage - tattered banners of flapping fabric.
Volunteers handed out clay cups of hot sweet tea to rescue workers and gawkers alike.
There was still a buzz of curious excitement among those gathered to watch the operation, but the atmosphere was slowly and subtly beginning to change.
As the urgency and adrenaline that had sustained people during the long night began to drain away, it was replaced by growing anger.
The people straining at the security barriers erected to protect the site wanted to know why what should have been a fairly straightforward construction project ended in such terrible disaster.
They were asking whether the company building the overpass had been cutting corners. Was it rushing to finish the much-delayed project because of pressure from the state government? Why was a company that had been blacklisted by a number of Indian states still involved in the first place?
Every now and then a senior military officer or a politician would sweep through to slowly inspect the site followed by crowds of camera crews and photographers.
The state elections are just days away and this disaster is a huge political issue, not just here in Bengal but across India.
The ugly spectacle of blame and recrimination has well and truly begun.
But great tragedies are the true test of a community. And Kolkata came up trumps.
The city came together in the wake of the disaster to offer solace and support.
Just as everyone's energy was flagging near noon on Friday, a group of Sikhs brought huge steaming pots of rice and dhal (lentils) and served it to whoever was hungry in plates made of pressed leaves.

Premises were searched at Shaftesbury Square and Lisburn Road in Belfast and Chapel Hill in Lisburn.
More than 100 illegal gaming machines and three casino roulette machines were seized as well as £200,000 in cash.
A 63-year-old-man from Lurgan was arrested and has been bailed to attend Musgrave police station on 11 March.
Officers from Home Office Immigration Enforcement also arrested a man in his 40s on suspicion of an immigration offence.
Det Supt Andrea McMullan, from the Organised Crime Branch, said that in addition to the substantial amount of cash seized police believe the three roulette machines have a value of £100,000 each.
"We seized a further 130 smaller gaming machines which are worth around £1,000 each," she said.
"We have worked with District policing colleagues and partners in the Gambling Commission and Immigration Enforcement to stop what we believe were premises being used for illegal gambling and money laundering."
Ex-campaign director Dominic Cummings said "lots" of things could happen to make him wish his side had lost.
But he also stressed there were more possible outcomes in which leaving would be good for the EU and the UK.
Mr Cummings made the comments in a Twitter exchange with legal commentator David Allen Green.
End of Twitter post by @odysseanproject
He tweeted (his Twitter name is @odysseanproject) that there were "more possible branches of future" in which leaving was "a good thing", saying it increased Europe's "overall ability to adapt more effectively to an uncertain world".
Mr Cummings also warned Brexit negotiations were heading for a "debacle" without "management changes" in Downing Street, although he said warned the importance of the talks was "greatly overstated" compared with domestic reforms that could be carried out.
"Decisions re our own institutions will decide success/failure," he tweeted.
Critics, including pro-Remain Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, seized on his comments.
The UK is due to leave the EU in March 2019, and formal negotiations between the two sides have started.
Earlier former Tory chancellor Nigel Lawson, who campaigned to leave the EU, predicted a £10bn "Brexit dividend" for the UK once it leaves, describing this as a "great chink of light" for current Chancellor Philip Hammond.
"Once we leave there will be this £10bn a year bonus - unless we are foolish enough to negotiate it away," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Leave campaigners have previously cited a £32bn "dividend" in the three years after Brexit, calculated by adding together the UK's net contribution for each year.
The issue of any "divorce bill" the UK might face is expected to be tackled at an early stage of the talks.
Before the negotiations started, the government set out its negotiation aims, including a new "comprehensive" free trade deal with the EU.
Another former chancellor, Labour's Alistair Darling - who campaigned to stay in the EU - said the UK looks "pretty clueless" as it attempts to negotiate its way out.
Lord Darling, whose stark economic warnings before the Brexit vote have not yet materialised, said: "Until we know what the Brexit settlement is, and frankly at the moment we haven't a clue what it is - and every day the government is giving an impression that it hasn't a clue either what it's going to look like - you won't know what the economy is going to do."
He added: "Here we are, shaping the future... and the UK looks pretty clueless at the moment - I don't ever recall a situation where our country has been in that position before."
The deal, announced in June, will expand Tesla's clean energy business.
California-based Tesla is known as a pioneer in electric cars but since last year has also been selling batteries that can power homes and businesses.
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk owns 22% of SolarCity and sits on the firm's board. SolarCity's chief executive Lyndon Rive and Mr Musk are cousins.
Under the deal, SolarCity has until 14 September to solicit offers from other potential buyers.
The two firms announced the deal on Tesla's website, saying: "Solar and storage are at their best when they're combined."
Mr Musk has previously described the deal as a "no brainer".
He said it would transform Tesla into the "world's only vertically integrated energy company offering end-to-end clean energy products", from solar panels and home storage batteries to electric vehicles.
As part of that strategy, Tesla is opening an enormous new Gigafactory, which will be able to make batteries for much more than cars.
However, financier Jim Chanos, who is betting against the shares of both firms, has described the deal as a "shameful example of corporate governance at its worst".
Rebecca Steinfeld and Charles Keidan lost their case in the Court of Appeal to have a civil partnership.
Although the judges acknowledged there was a potential breach of the couple's human rights, they argued that the government should have more time to decide the future of civil partnership in the UK.
BBC readers asked which countries permit civil partnership for a man and a woman.
We looked into it - and the answer is that there are 11 places in Europe where opposite-sex couples can choose civil partnership in one form or another.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the famously liberal Netherlands was the first country in Europe to allow heterosexual couples to enter a civil partnership.
Portuguese citizens or legal foreign residents who have lived together for at least two years can enter a civil union.
Rights for opposite-sex couples in a civil union are largely the same as for married couples.
France introduced the Civil Solidarity Pact or PACS to give legal status to both heterosexual and same-sex couples.
Although a PACS does not give the same rights as marriage, it is nonetheless popular with couples.
While the number of marriages has declined each year since 2000, the number of couples choosing a civil solidarity pact has increased, by up to 25% in some years.
Hot on the heels of their neighbours, Belgian citizens in opposite-sex relationships have been able to choose a civil union or "statutory cohabitation" over marriage since 2000.
The French PACS model also influenced Luxembourg.
The partnerships provide many of the same rights as marriage. However, couples are not permitted to jointly adopt children.
It is more popular among younger couples - and anyone who declares a civil union can take a six-day holiday from work.
Opposite-sex couples have been able to obtain the status of "stable union of a couple" since 2005.
The Greek parliament followed in the steps of France's example, and in 2008 introduced civil unions for opposite-sex couples.
However, few Greeks have taken up the opportunity - in the year after the law was introduced, just 161 couples joined in civil union.
Couples in the British territory can choose civil partnership, which grants most of the rights of marriage.
Although the legislation permits both opposite-sex and same-sex couples to have civil union, the first couple to take advantage were Nadine and Alicia Muscat, who tied the knot in May 2014 after being together for 20 years.
Heterosexual and same-sex couples can enter a civil union in Malta which gives the same rights and responsibilities as marriage, including the right to joint adoption.
The Estonian parliament passed a law by a margin of two to permit heterosexual and same-sex couples to enter civil partnership in 2014.
Unlike the majority of countries on this list, Estonian citizens did not back their representatives - a survey found that 60% of respondents were not in favour of the legislation.
Nevertheless, the law came into force on 1 January 2016.
Men and women in Britain hoping to one day have a civil partnership can be inspired by the Isle of Man, which is a British Crown Dependency.
The island passed the law in August 2016.
In October, Adelina Cosson and Kieran Hodgson were the first heterosexual couple in the British Isles to take advantage of the new law.
One week later, Claire Beale and Martin Loat flew from London to become the first heterosexual couple in the UK to enter a civil partnership.

The bus smashed into a roadside barrier on a national highway and caught fire, Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA) reported.
It had been bringing the group of Chinese tourists to Taoyuan Airport to catch a flight back to Dalian.
Officials said there were 24 tourists on board plus a local guide and driver.
"The fire moved very fast. All 26 died," Lu Jui-yao, an official with the National Highway Police Bureau told Reuters.
Pictures from the scene showed thick black smoke and flames engulfing the bus.
The cause of the crash, shortly before 13:00 (05:00 GMT), was not immediately known. Taiwan authorities are still investigating.
Taiwanese cabinet spokesman Tung Chen-yuan said tourism government officials had reached out to their mainland counterparts and would arrange for relatives of the victims to come to Taiwan.
Brandywell is the home ground of Derry City Football Club.
Derry City FC Chairman Philip O'Doherty has blamed a council consultation project which has affected the start of the tendering process.
Work on a new pitch and dog track was due to begin at the end of October.
Mr O'Doherty said if work does not begin soon "it may be delayed until October 2016".
"Two weeks ago, Derry and Strabane Council received the final letter of offer, allowing work on the Brandywell project to begin," said Mr O'Doherty.
"We immediately met with council to request a programme of work so that we could discuss options with the FAI (Football Association of Ireland) to reschedule early home games in the 2016 season to later in the year to facilitate work on the pitch.
"Unfortunately, we have been informed that the tender process can't begin due to continued consultation on the project.
"We are concerned that should the work not begin this month, the start of this long overdue project would be delayed until October 2016 - a full 12 months.
"Derry City, other local football clubs, and the people of the Brandywell area, in particular, should not have to wait yet another year for this project to start."
He said the facility would be "highly beneficial to the community" due to the 3G pitch being able to be used almost continuously throughout the year.
Mr O'Doherty told BBC Radio Foyle that there are concerns that a one-year delay may result in some or all of the money being returned to Stormont.
"That would be disastrous," he said.
"Derry City FC will be left out of pocket if games are to be played, possibly in Ballybofey, with lower numbers attending our games. This will affect the budget for next season which will not help our challenging for European football.
"We are happy to pay the market price for use of this facility, along with the other users in the city, and we would urge council to start the work urgently."
A spokesperson for Derry City and Strabane District Council said: "Elected members of the Health and Community Committee unanimously agreed to defer a decision to progress with the tender for the football stadium and 3G element of the council-owned Brandywell and Daisyfield Masterplan project.
"This is to allow for further consultation with the greyhound fraternity on proposals to ensure a new greyhound track is included in the plan.
"The matter will now come before members at next months meeting for consideration and decision."
This is the most serious terrorist attack on London since the 7/7 bombings in 2005.
The police reacted extremely quickly, ending this attack before any more people were hurt. A friend of mine actually gave first aid to the stabbed policeman before the helicopter arrived.
This is very rare, although the Government has been warning for some time to expect something like this. The chances of any of you, as an individual, getting caught up in a terrorist attack are microscopically small.

The Press Association (PA) news agency received £622,000 for its Reporters and Data and Robots (Radar) scheme.
Radar will benefit "established media outlets", independent publishers and local bloggers, PA said.
One expert said it was unlikely to replace traditional reporting, although the project, which launches in 2018, will also use human journalists.
Five people will use official open data sources to automate reports about health, crime, employment and other subjects.
"Skilled human journalists will still be vital in the process, but Radar allows us to harness artificial intelligence to scale up to a volume of local stories that would be impossible to provide manually," said PA editor Pete Clifton.
He added that the news media was in need of "cost-effective" ways to produce local stories.
It was an interesting move, suggested Neil Thurman at City, University of London and the University of Munich.
City has itself received £295,000 from Google's Digital News Initiative, though Dr Thurman is not involved in the project that will benefit from the funds.
"I find it difficult to see how automation is going to help provide additional coverage of local magistrates courts and crown courts," he told the BBC.
Rather than a surge in data alerts, local news consumers may be more interested in a boost to carefully curated news and analysis, he argued, pointing out that this remains the preserve of human journalists.
"You can't really cover [local government] through automation because it's a lot about investigation, politics, personal relationships, who has said what to whom and so forth - it's difficult to get that information in data feed form," he said.
Dr Thurman and colleagues recently published a study in which examples of automated journalism were evaluated by professional human reporters.
Many felt that the quality of the writing in the reports was below par, though some suggested automation could be useful for breaking certain factual news stories that could later be expanded by humans.
However, robot journalists have already been caught out by fictitious information.
Last month, an LA Times program published an alert about a magnitude 6.8 earthquake in California.

The Office for National Statistics family spending report, published on Tuesday, analyses how households in 13 regions across the UK spent their money over a three-year period.
About 1,200 people in Northern Ireland were surveyed between 2011 and 2013.
While some of the figures might be expected, it also came up with some surprising details.
Here is a breakdown of some of the areas studied in its report.
Northern Ireland was the highest spending region on clothing and footwear, spending over 50% more than the UK average.
While the UK average weekly spend over the three-year period was £22.60, the Northern Ireland figure was £35.
Both men and women in Northern Ireland were the highest spenders out of any region.
Men spent £9 a week on outer garments - almost double the UK average of £4.60 - while women also topped the table by spending £10.90 a week, £3 above the UK average.
More money was spent on children's clothes in Northern Ireland than the other 12 regions as well.
When it comes to overall personal care including toiletries and hairdressing, people in Northern Ireland were the biggest spenders in the category - the £15.30 weekly spend was well above the UK average of £11.
Northern Ireland spent the most - £4.90 a week - on hairdressing and beauty treatments. The UK average was £3.40.
The £3.20 weekly average spend on toiletries and soap was well above the UK average of £2.40, while the £5.60 spend on hair products, cosmetics and electronic personal appliances was well above the overall average of £3.70.
In the category of "alcohol, tobacco and narcotics", Northern Ireland people's £15.30 weekly spend was the overall highest and well above the £12.20 UK average.
The £6.60 average spend on cigarettes was well above the overall UK figure of £3.80, with only Scotland's £6 average coming close.
However, in terms of alcohol bought in off-licences, Northern Ireland's £7.90 figure was only slightly higher than the £7.60 UK average.
While Northern Ireland's £2.20 weekly spend on beer and cider was 20p higher than the UK average, the money spent on wines and fortified wines was 60p lower than the £4 UK figure.
Northern Ireland was second to Scotland on money spent on spirits, and the £2.10 weekly figure was well above the £1.50 UK average.
When it came to money spent on alcohol in bars and restaurants, Northern Ireland's £10 total was the highest in the UK and well above the £7.30 average.
Overall, the money spent eating and drinking in cafes, restaurants and hotels was well above the £40.20 UK average - Northern Ireland's £47.10 figure was second only to London.
Takeaway food to eat at home is also the most popular in Northern Ireland, with £7.20 a week going towards carryout meals - £3 higher than the average.
Overall, Northern Ireland's weekly bill of £62.60 for food and drink at home was second only to the south east of England.
The £6.10 spend on bread, rice and cereals was the highest in the UK, while its sweet tooth was evident in the £4.30 weekly expenditure on buns, cakes and biscuits - also the biggest figure out of the 13 regions.
Northern Ireland spends the most on potatoes - £1.40 compared to the UK average of 90p - but its £3.60 spend on fresh vegetables was well below the £4.20 overall UK figure. Money spent on fruit was 10p above the £3.20 UK average.
When it comes to meat, Northern Ireland families spend well above the average on beef - £3.20 compared to £1.80.
Northern Ireland households also spend the most on poultry products - the £2.80 a week figure is 50p higher than the UK average - while the £1.50 spent on bacon and ham is 50p more than the overall average.
While the spend on pork is 10p higher than the 70p UK average, people spend 30p a week less on lamb in Northern Ireland than the overall average of 70p.
In the category 'housing, fuel and power', Northern Ireland families' £56.50 spend is well below the £68.50 UK average.
However, when it comes to fuel bills, the £34.40 figure for electricity, gas and other fuels is substantially higher than the £23.90 UK average.
Northern Ireland households seem to have the greatest appetite for news - the £2.30 weekly spend is the highest out of any region, and well above the UK average of £1.70.
In contrast, the 90p average spent on books was the joint second lowest, and 30p below the overall UK figure.
It seems that Northern Ireland people are the most enthusiastic gamblers, spending £4.40 a week on bets compared to a UK average of £2.80.
However, they are not the most successful punters: a section called 'windfall receipts from gambling, etc' shows an average income of £1.70 a week, which is still 40p higher than the UK average.
The US and Dutch authorities forced AlphaBay and Hansa offline to prevent the sale of drugs, weapons and malware.
But over the last week of July, other sites saw their number of listings rise by as much as 28%, the study indicates.
Sales of some goods do, however, appear to have been reduced.
"There is growing evidence that when one illegal dark web marketplace is closed, the illicit business quickly starts to be redirected to other sites which are still active," commented Elad Ben-Meir, marketing chief at the Israeli cyber-security firm Cyberint, which carried out the research.
"However, there is also evidence that continuing crackdowns by international law enforcement operations, are having the effect of forcing illicit traders away from those sites selling firearms or child pornography."
The markets are given the "dark web" moniker because they cannot be accessed via a normal internet browser, and their listings are hidden from mainstream search engines.
The closure of AlphaBay and Hansa was revealed on 20 July.
Cyberint looked at what change in activity there had been on five other leading dark web markets between 24 July and 31 July.
According to its numbers, Dream Market is now the biggest illegal store with a total of 98,844 listings at the end of the month.
The site was launched in late 2013 and is now one of the oldest dark web markets in existence.
Its number of listings rose by 3,818 over the course of the week.
While that was the biggest increase of the surveyed sites in numerical terms, it represented a relatively modest increase of 3.9%.
"There is some interesting buzz around Dream Market potentially being compromised and/or under law enforcement control, which is feeding fear and uncertainty amongst vendors and buyers," said Mr Ben-Meir.
"That is probably why Dream Market has not grown substantially in the wake of the takedowns."
Europol and the FBI have promised "hundreds" of follow-up investigations off the back of their initial takedowns.
Dream Market vendors are aware that Hansa was seized and covertly monitored for about a month after AlphaBay was deactivated.
That has led to unverified speculation on several online forums that Dream Market's servers have also been hijacked.
The next biggest site is TradeRoute, which rose from 14,914 listings to 17,816 over the period - a 16.3% gain.
It includes forged documents and black market tobacco and alcohol among its wares.
"TradeRoute is actively touting for new business with threads welcoming vendors displaced from AlphaBay," said Cyberint's report.
In percentage terms, Tochka can claim the biggest boost. Its listings rose by 28.1% to 2,390.
The site specialises in illegal and prescription drugs among other products.
Wall Street Market, a relatively new platform with a more polished design than is the norm for such sites, experienced a similar lift.
Its number of listings grew by 25.4% over the week to 2,216.
Of the markets covered, only one experienced a drop-off in activity.
RsClub Market is the only one of the five sites to sell guns - its only restriction on weapons listings is that they must not offer "weapons of mass destruction".
The site's listing count dropped by 638 to 1,689 over the week - a 37.8% fall-off.
Cyberint suggested that this might be linked to the fact the Rand Corporation think tank and the University of Manchester had jointly published a report into the size and scope of the dark web's illegal arms trade on 19 July. It said that 60% of the weapons put on sale had been sourced from the US, and that terrorists were among suspected buyers.
Cyberint believes those looking to buy and sell other illegal goods might now be steering clear of RsClub Market because it was likely to be a focus of follow-up investigations.
One adviser to Europol said the findings were of interest but only told half the story.
"The takedowns have certainly not discouraged the vendors but it's still not totally clear if it has put off the buyers," said Alan Woodward.
"The sellers believe they are relatively immune - they don't use their real details so are hard to track down even if a site is commandeered - but the users have to give delivery addresses and the like.
"That's why the emphasis is on taking the markets down and that's exactly what law enforcement wants to do."
Merrien, who ran at London 2012, came 19th in a time of 2 hrs 16 mins and 42 secs, but needed 2:14 to qualify.
"I'm disappointed with the time, but to be honest it was irrelevant," the 37-year-old told BBC Guernsey.
"When you're outside that time it's almost immaterial whether it's a couple minutes or a few seconds."
Three British athletes - Tsegai Tewelde and brothers Callum and Derek Hawkins - crossed the line inside the men's qualifying time on Sunday.
Merrien said "you have to take your hat off" to the trio, and confirmed he would not try to qualify for the Tokyo Games in four years time.
"I won't be going for 2020. It only comes every four years but it's a lot of commitment from a family perspective and being away from home so often for training camps and things.
"There'll be other competitions, but as far as the Olympics go, that's me."

A sign displaying the price also states each tin can be sold across the border in the mainland Chinese city of Shenzhen for HK$17, for a profit of HK$2.
On a recent weekend, a steady stream of buyers from mainland China, called parallel traders, crowded around the shops to purchase boxes of chicken powder and other items, including toothpaste and red wine, to sell for profit back home.
"They think Hong Kong is a supermarket," says Ronald Leung, shaking his head in disapproval.
Mr Leung, 38 and born and raised in Hong Kong, volunteers with the North District Parallel Imports Concern Group.
"But we're not just a supermarket for China. Hong Kong should be a city for Hong Kong people."
"Parallel traders" purchase their supplies in Hong Kong, which does not charge a goods and services tax, and take them across the border to mainland China in small quantities to avoid paying import duties.
They, as well as Chinese tourists in general, have drawn the ire of parts of Hong Kong society ahead of the 1 July anniversary, when the former British colony rejoined China in 1997.
As both sides have integrated financially, their economies have flourished.
But resource competition between mainland Chinese and local residents in Hong Kong has also escalated, causing increasing tension and even elevating political risk.
In 1997, only 2.3 million mainland visitors came to Hong Kong, mostly on business or in tour groups, according to the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
The numbers surged in 2003 when, in the wake of an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) in Hong Kong, the individual visit scheme was launched to boost the economy as part of the Mainland Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Agreement.
Initially, only residents in four cities in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong were allowed to apply for the pass, which allowed them to travel individually.
Soon the successful scheme was expanded and now covers all of Guangdong province, as well as another 28 cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing.
Mainland China is now the biggest source of tourists, including parallel traders, visiting Hong Kong.
Winnie Chen, a native of the central Chinese province of Hunan, tries to visit Hong Kong once a year to eat, shop and soak in the city.
"I love Hong Kong. I don't go to the touristy places any more. I come here to enjoy life," she says, returning to her hometown by train and carrying cosmetics and skincare products.
She estimates she spends HK$1,000 a day on lodging and food, before shopping, and stays for just under one week.
But over the past two years, the Hong Kong public, including Mr Leung's group, have begun to protest against the growing number of Chinese tourists.
They have complained about crowded public transport, rising prices and the changing face of traditional neighbourhoods, some like Sheung Shui, which have evolved to cater to Chinese tourists.
Last year, more than 54 million people came to visit. By 2023, arrivals may exceed 100 million, according to a conservative government estimate.
A senior government official recently told reporters the Hong Kong and Beijing governments were working together to address the issue.
Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung surprised the public in May, when he said government officials had discussed a proposal to reduce the number of mainland Chinese visitors by 20%.
More recently, news reports have suggested the owners of multiple entry permits, usually residents of Shenzhen, may be restricted to 52 trips a year to Hong Kong, or approximately one trip a week. They are believed to form the bulk of parallel traders.
The Sheung Shui neighbourhood has become a centre for parallel trading because it is located just one stop away from the border on the train to Shenzhen.
The area has about 60 drugstores selling infant milk powder, nappies, medicines and personal care products, catering to traders from China.
Economists at the investment bank Goldman Sachs believe Hong Kong may lose $2-3bn in annual retail sales, if the government cuts Chinese arrivals by 20%.
But their counterparts at ANZ Bank believe the economic impact could be far worse.
"It will send a wrong signal that Hong Kong will no longer welcome mainland tourists. This intangible damage is uncountable," they wrote in a research report.
ANZ economists said the owners of commercial property and other facilities would be likely to see declines in their rental income, though they did not provide estimates.
They added: "The concern highlights a risk of policy bungle when the government tries to compromise with the growing populism over mainland-Hong Kong economic integration."
The Hong Kong government is yet to unveil a plan to limit mainland Chinese visitors, but many in the tourism industry are expecting an announcement soon.
Seventeen years after Hong Kong returned to China, their economies are much more intertwined, but tension between the two sides seems to be growing too.

A man and his son were in the house in Derby at the time but they were not injured.
The driver of the car is also believed to be unharmed following the crash, which happened in Walbrook Road, Normanton, at about 15:45 BST.
Police said there was structural damage to the house.
Corey Knowlton bid $350,000 (£212,000) for a permit auctioned by the Dallas Safari Club, which said it would help fund future conservation.
Namibia is home to some 1,500 black rhino, a third of the world's total.
Mr Knowlton said his name had been posted on Facebook and threats had been made to harm both him and his children.
He said he had been speaking to the FBI about protecting his family. A number of people posted abuse on his Facebook page, calling him "cruel" and a "barbarian".
But he said those criticising him had failed to understand that the idea behind the hunt was to target an old, non-breeding male rhino that was endangering the rest of the herd.
"We're just not going in there and saying 'hey we're on a rhino hunt and, here, have a beer we're going to find a rhino,'" he told ABC TV affiliate WFAA in Dallas.
"No, it is a scientific process and we're going to make sure we get the ones that are causing the most problem."
Namibia issues three hunting permits per year, and this is the first time an auction has been held outside the southern African nation.
However, tens of thousands of people signed online petitions against the auction, and animal rights groups condemned as "perverse" claims that the hunt was really about conservation.
The money raised from the 11 January auction will go to the Namibian government and will be earmarked for conservation projects, according to the Dallas Safari Club.
"It takes money for these animals to exist. A lot of people don't recognise that," club executive Ben Carter told NPR radio.
Experts say that growing demand for rhino horn in Asia is driving up instances of poaching.
It is being fuelled by the belief in countries like China and Vietnam that powdered rhino horn has medicinal powers and can impact diseases like cancer. Horns can sell for around $65,000 a kilogram.
James Hamilton, 60, denied murder but admitted the manslaughter of Patricia Anne Durrant, 65, on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
Swansea Crown Court heard he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
The prosecution accepted his plea.
Hamilton has been detained under the Mental Health Act without a time limit set.
The court was told he had developed a "tremendous fear" that demons were about to break into their house and to kill him and Ms Durrant "in a particularly unpleasant way".
After delivering the fatal knife wounds, he then tried to take his own life.
The court was told that he had been receiving treatment for a mental illness in 2002, and responded well. But he had stopped taking medication and had lost contact with the mental health services, the court heard.
Huw Rees, prosecuting, explained how on 2 March neighbours had seen Ms Durrant, a seamstress, working at her sewing machine making a red dress.
It appeared she was killed very shortly afterwards, said Mr Rees.
The following morning Hamilton dialled 999 and a police officer found him sitting on the stairs covered in blood while in the kitchen there was "a scene like something out of a horror film".
Ms Durrant was dead, having suffered "catastrophic" injuries to her neck and with at least eight defence wounds across her arms.
Hamilton later told police he had approached Ms Durrant from behind as she sat on a chair in the kitchen killed her.
He said he believed demons were about to go on a killing spree.
After the killing, he stabbed himself in the neck and stomach and lay down next to Ms Durrant. He thought he was going to die but he awoke a short time later.
He said he spent the rest of the night "wondering what to do" before dialling 999.
Psychiatrist Dr Roger Thomas told the court he had "absolutely no doubt" that Hamilton suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, but since his arrest and subsequent treatment he had shown significant recovery.
Hamilton's barrister, Geraint Walters, said the killing of Ms Durrant had been "a tragedy that no-one saw coming".
Judge Keith Thomas said Hamilton had thought of leaving the property to escape the demons but that would have "left her unprotected and the entities would have got her and a fate worse than death".
The government has been accused of failing to deliver on a commitment made in the Stormont House Agreement, by insisting on a veto on material to protect national security.
Judith Thompson told the Sunday Politics programme there was a level of energy and common purpose that was not there before.
"What was being developed at the very, very close of those talks was a move towards some sort of judicial model where the director of that new HIU (Historical Investigations Unit), if they felt that national security was being used as an excuse to cover up things which were uncomfortable rather than security sensitive, then they could go through judicial process," she said.
"Now that judicial process, the nature of it wasn't fully agreed, but there are ways of doing creative thinking around that."
Last month, a deal, known as Fresh Start, was agreed between the British and Irish governments and Northern Ireland's two largest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin.
It followed 10 weeks of talks and secured agreement on outstanding issues relating to paramilitaries and welfare reform.
However, they failed to break the deadlock over legacy issues arising from Northern Ireland's Troubles.
There were 15.7m overseas and domestic visitors to Scotland in the year to the end of March 2015, the Office for National Statistics said.
Tourists spent more than £4.9bn, a 10% increase on the previous year, according to the figures.
The 10% increase in domestic visitors is set against a 2% decrease for Britain as a whole.
The figures also showed an increase of visitor numbers from North America of 31% and a rise in expenditure from US and Canadian tourists of 50%.
There were 540,000 visitors from North America in 2014 but the majority of overseas tourists - 1,718,000 - were from Europe, mainly EU countries.
Other countries outside Europe and North America accounted for 441,000 visitors.
Separate figures for the first three months of 2015 showed overseas visits decreased by 1% when compared with the same period in 2014.
Domestic visits increased by 29% in the first three months of 2015.
Tourism Minister Fergus Ewing said: "These figures are hugely encouraging for the Scottish tourism industry as we continue to outperform Great Britain as a whole.
"The rise in both visitors and expenditure show that Scotland is a destination that offers quality experiences and visitors are prepared to spend their money in our hotels, tourism attractions and restaurants.
"Recent figures show Homecoming 2014 generated £136m of additional revenue to the Scottish economy and we are determined to build on this legacy through other themed years."
Mr Ewing added: "The sustainable increase and expenditure in visitors from North America is hugely encouraging and owes much to the warmth of welcome of our people and our growing international reputation as a place to visit."
VisitScotland chairman Mike Cantlay said: "After the outstanding success of 2014, we are delighted to see that Scottish tourism is continuing to do exceptionally well during what is a very challenging economic time for many countries around the world."
He added: "The international outlook is complicated with a direct impact from the poor exchange rate of the Euro. However, the North American market remains strong after a buoyant 2014 and we continued to see a large rise in the number of these very important visitors who contribute a lucrative amount to Scottish tourism."
PM Malcolm Turnbull called a royal commission last year after a TV show broadcast footage of inmates being stripped, assaulted and tear gassed.
Two former inmates are now seeking compensation as part of a group action, said law firm Maurice Blackburn.
They could be joined by hundreds of others, the firm said.
The lawsuit alleges Dylan Jenkings and Aaron Hyde were abused by guards while in the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre. Both are now serving sentences in an adult prison.
Last year, Amnesty International described the regime at the centre as "institutionalised brutality", with teenagers held in solitary confinement with no access to light or water for long periods.
The document, filed in the Federal Court, claims Don Dale staff "struck" Hyde - then aged 15 - in the ribs during an incident in 2012.
They also allegedly "slammed" his head into a door while he was handcuffed, before placing him in an isolation cell for up to three weeks.
"He was stripped naked and he'd been asking for a blanket and a guard told him to masturbate to keep himself warm," his mother, Tracey Hyde, told the ABC.
"That should happen to nobody. Yes, there are kids that are in there for a reason, but that doesn't mean you can treat them like animals."
Don Dale guards beat Jenkings with batons and punched him twice in the back of the head, according to the claim.
Jenkings claims he was then locked in a cell for 48 hours.
Maurice Blackburn lawyer Ben Slade said: "No-one denies these kids may have broken the law, but they didn't deserve to be broken by the law."
"They have the same right as anyone else to seek compensation through the courts for the harm and deprivations inflicted upon them."
The class action could include anyone subjected to assaults, threats or unreasonable isolation while in Northern Territory youth detention between August 2006 and December 2016, the firm said.
The royal commission is scheduled to hand down its final report on 1 August.
After centuries as a powerful medieval kingdom, Hungary was part of the Ottoman and then Habsburg empires from the 16th century onwards, emerging as an independent country again after World War I.
A landlocked country, Hungary is home to Lake Balaton, the largest in central Europe, and to a large number of spa towns and hot springs.
It has especially rich traditions in folk and classical music and has been the birthplace of many outstanding performers and composers, including Franz Liszt, Bela Bartok and Zoltan Kodaly.
Population 10 million

President: Janos Ader
A lawyer and member of the European Parliament for Hungary's governing Fidesz party, Janos Ader was elected President of Hungary in 2012 in a parliamentary vote that was boycotted by the main opposition Socialist Party.
He is closely associated with the controversial policies of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and helped draft changes to election laws and the role of the judiciary that prompted complaints from the European Commission.
Prime minister: Viktor Orban
Since starting his second stint as prime minister in 2010, Viktor Orban has concentrated an unprecedented amount of power in his hands while alarming other EU leaders with his brand of nationalist populism.
He has described his goal for Hungary as creating an "illiberal state", and argues that authoritarian systems such as China, Turkey and Russia are a more appropriate model than Western liberal democracies.
Critics say a a new constitution pushed through in 2012 weakened political checks and balances and entrenched the ruling party's power.
Mr Orban rejects such criticism, insisting that Hungary's unique character and history mean that the nature of Hungarian democracy is necessarily different from that in other countries.
Hungary's private broadcasters compete with public radio and TV. The public broadcaster has faced financial struggles, dwindling audiences and allegations of political influence.
Some European governments and institutions have criticised a controversial media law, introduced in 2011. The legislation created a Media Council, with a chairperson appointed by the prime minister.
Since its re-election in 2014, the governing Fidesz party has taken steps to build up its own media empire.

Photographer Chris McAndrew, who's snapped rock stars, actors and ballerinas, took the pictures in the Commons just after MPs were sworn in, following June's surprise general election.
Tory Paul Masterton, the new MP for East Renfrewshire, told Radio 4's Today programme the pictures went down well on social media - and showed MPs weren't "alien species" but a "reflection of us as real people".
"It's the first time we've been able to look at notifications on Twitter and burst out laughing rather than feel like we wanted to burst into tears," he says.
"It's been done in good spirits... It's been a nice start to the summer."
Certainly there's a real freshness to the pictures - particularly compared with what went before.
Mr Masterton ruefully acknowledged his nickname.

The impetus behind these new portraits comes from the digital team at UK Parliament, led by Carrie Barclay.
How did she hope people would see the pictures?
"I wanted to focus on the human element of Parliament," she says. "Chris's distinctive style and ability to put people immediately at ease meant we could capture a raw, but sophisticated, image that showed MPs as relatable people.
"I want people to see these portraits as part of our commitment to a more open and transparent, modern Parliament."
And there's certainly been a positive response on social media.
BBC Trending: fun with MPs' portraits
"It's been wonderful to see how people have reacted to the portraits," she says.
"There's a clear need for members of the public to be able to recognise the person that represents them in Parliament, but seeing how so many people (and plenty of MPs) have used them to strike up conversations and share jokes and stories has been really exciting."
How did the team get so many busy MPs in front of the camera? They used the moments after each MP was sworn in following their election to Parliament, which "gave us an unprecedented opportunity to take an official portrait of each member without complicated shoot schedules, myriad locations, diary management, or difficult staffing issues", Barclay explains on her blog.
She adds: "Chris has an innate ability to put people at ease immediately. It's one of the reasons he's had the distinguished career that he has, and it's one of the reasons we chose to work with him.
"Chris is incredibly down to earth, and the atmosphere in the room was relaxed and informal.
"Lots of MPs were laughing and joking with each other as they waited their turn, and that also really helped - they were happy and relaxed when they walked through the door - which is half the battle."
The portraits are informal, direct and open. They are there to be used for MPs themselves, as well as for wider use. Will it make the public see MPs as people, rather than part of a system?
"There's no hidden agenda with these portraits," she says. "MPs are people, just like everyone else. We simply wanted to have strong, recognisable and consistent portraits of them that were so good, everyone would want to use them. We want to promote an open and transparent, modern Parliament, and these portraits support that ambition."
It's peers next - all 800 plus of them. That's going to pose something more of a challenge, surely?
"When we started this project we weren't sure what we'd be able to achieve," she says.
"The snap election afforded us an opportunity, and we made the most of it. There are plans to update the photos of members of the House of Lords on the parliamentary website but it's too early in the planning to be able to give you any more details on that."
These photos of MPs, and all related crops, are released under an Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) licence.
Almost 60 First Nations designers and models have joined forces for the four-day event, which opened on 26 July.
Many of those on the catwalk are current or former foster children.
The event's organiser, former model Joleen Mitton, said she hoped it would give young indigenous people "a sense of their own culture".
Ms Mitton, 33, has been working with First Nations children in foster care for almost a decade. It was their interest in her fashion past that inspired her to launch the show.
"You wear who you are, and if you're wearing something from your territory, it brings you a sense of self-awareness," CBC quoted her as saying.
"It helps them know who they are, so they don't fall through the cracks of society.
"I'm hoping these girls walk away with a sense of pride in themselves, and in their culture."
Indigenous symbols are frequently borrowed by high-fashion labels - and not always sensitively.
In 2012, underwear brand Victoria's Secret apologised for sending supermodel Karlie Kloss down the runway in high-heeled moccasins and a feathered headdress - an item sacred to plains people.
Ms Mitton hopes the VIFW will send a message that people who appreciate indigenous style can get the look respectfully, by buying from First Nations designers.
"This is totally reclaiming what is ours," she said. "[The event] is activism in itself."
A 22-year-old woman is also in a critical condition at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham after the single-vehicle crash on the Kilbourne Road in Belper.
A police spokesman said: "A blue Fiat Panda was involved in a collision and two people received fatal injuries."
The two victims died at the scene at about 01:25 BST.
"Kilbourne Road has now reopened and anyone with information on the collision or who has dash-cam footage is asked to contact us," the spokesman added.
Tom Reith, who lives on Kilbourne Road, said he was woken up by the accident and saw the wreckage.
He said: "It was horrendous, terrible. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family."
Partick Thistle have yet to score against any of the top three sides this season.
They were defeated 1-0 by Hearts on Saturday, but Archibald is trying to keep his players in a positive mindset.
"We've got to look at creating chances and marry that up with a good defensive performance," he said.
"The [top three teams] are different sides when you score against them, you see a reaction. We got that on Tynecastle on Saturday when we put them under a bit of pressure and the crowd starts to turn on them.
"Aberdeen are desperate for the three points to put pressure on Celtic, and if we can get that goal and see how they react, that will give us a massive chance in the game.
"We stressed that to the players, we've been speaking about it and taking the positives from the Hearts game. But we've got to believe that we can go and win. We did it a few years ago against Aberdeen, when we put a good performance in, and we need to do the same again."
After they have faced the top three in succession - they host Celtic on Saturday - Partick play the current bottom three in order. Following the matches against Hamilton, Kilmarnock and Dundee United, their last game before the split is away to Ross County.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Archibald's side is currently six points clear of second-bottom Kilmarnock, and with two games in hand they are well-placed to secure their top-flight status again, but the manager wants his players to remain focused on survival.
"If you secure safety then you'll not be too far away from the top end," Archibald said.
"It's very tough, with the fixtures being as difficult as they are. Also, we had a lot of games, we'll end up playing six in 19 days, which is a big ask for the players.
"We've had some good performances of late. Even on Saturday it was disappointing to lose the game because we deserved at least a point. Hopefully we can take the good things out of that performance into Tuesday night.
"[But] we don't put too much focus on the weekend's game, whether it be a win or a loss, because we've got to try to move on. The games are coming so quickly now and we've just got to make sure that everybody's fit and ready to go, and keeping a positive frame of mind.
"We're at the time of the season when everybody's beating each other and even us playing the top three, other teams have shown that they can beat them. So that's just the way the league is at the moment and it's the same for every manager, they're just trying to get that run of consistency."
Raised By Wolves, which was written by Caitlin Moran and her sister Caroline and based on their upbringing, was shelved by Channel 4 after two series.
It was one of a number of UK winners at the Berlin ceremony, which drew its nominees from across Europe.
BBC Two's Inside No 9, written by and starring Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, was named best comedy.
In other categories:
John Cleese was honoured with a lifetime achievement award for his outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry.
In his acceptance speech, Cleese said television executives and channel controllers should place more faith in writers and performers to deliver success.
He said: "When Monty Python was commissioned, we didn't really know what we were going to do but we were trusted. The talent has a better record than the suits, so why don't they bear that in mind?
"The trouble with executives isn't that they have no idea what they are doing, but that they have no idea that they have no idea."
Non-British winners included Swedish public service broadcaster SVT, which won the entertainment prize for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.
The ceremony was hosted by BBC radio presenter Paddy O'Connell.
The Rose d'Or Awards were established in 1961, honour the best online content and radio and TV shows from the previous year. The awards are open to submissions from around the world.
The UK has triumphed in the best sitcom category every year since the awards began, with winners including Friday Night Dinner, Peep Show, Extras, The IT Crowd and The Inbetweeners.

World heavyweight champion Fury, 27, who expressed views on women, abortion and homosexuality, has been asked to attend a meeting in the new year.
The BBBofC met to discuss the matter on Wednesday before informing Fury that he must meet with the board.
The Briton has denied he is a homophobe and claimed he is "uniting the world".
No exact date has been confirmed for the meeting.
Meanwhile, Fury will not face police action following an inquiry into alleged homophobic comments.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) received a complaint earlier this week after statements made on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.
But the force has recorded the comments as a "hate incident" as opposed to a hate crime.
In the aftermath of his win against Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf, Fury had said: "I'm not sexist. I believe a woman's best place is in the kitchen and on her back. That's my personal belief. Making me a good cup of tea, that's what I believe."
The new world champion has also previously said it would only take the legalisation of paedophilia in addition to the decriminalisation of homosexuality and abortion to see "the devil come home".
The Manchester fighter subsequently said: "Tyson Fury loves his fellow humans. He doesn't hate anybody."
Fellow BBC Sports Personality of the Year nominee and long jump champion Greg Rutherford had planned to withdraw from this year's event over Fury's comments, before reversing his decision.
Fury, who won the WBA, IBF and WBO titles on 28 November by beating Klitschko, was stripped of the IBF belt on Tuesday after choosing to face Klitschko in a rematch instead of the IBF's mandatory challenger, Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov.
The change is effective in both divisions and aims to encourage better pitches for four-day cricket.
An ECB statement read: "The visiting captain will be offered the opportunity of bowling first.
"If he declines, the toss will take place as normal. But if he accepts, there will be no toss."
The recommendation came from the ECB's cricket committee, which includes ECB chief executive Tom Harrison, England team director Andrew Strauss and former England coach Andy Flower.
The committee's chairman, Peter Wright, said a decision on whether to extend the trial would be taken at the end of the 2016 season.
Wright also said the decision was partly motivated about concern over the development of English spin bowlers.
"There has been concern for some years about some Championship pitches," he said.
"But it is fair to say that the plight of spin bowling in this country brought things into focus.
"Figures showing spinners bowled only 21.5% of the overs in the 2015 Championship were presented to the committee and we have come to the conclusion that the only way to bring spin bowlers more into the game is to provide better pitches for them to bowl on."
On Wednesday, England's limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan said the move may benefit the game long-term.
"If it's to improve the standard of wickets that we play on, and potentially produce a couple of wickets where spin might be conducive to that particular ground, I think absolutely," he said.
"The benefit in county cricket might not be at the very beginning, but potentially for younger guys coming through - they'll develop different skills which will in turn give them a greater base, if they do get picked for England, to play around the world and do it successfully."
But Andrew Gale, captain of County Champions Yorkshire, described the decision as "absolute madness".
He added on social media: "If the pitches are bad, why have no points been deducted in past few seasons?"
Meanwhile, the ECB also announced new helmet safety measures, on the eve of the first anniversary of Phillip Hughes' death.
The Australia batsman died aged 25, two days after being struck on the top of the neck by a ball during a domestic match in Sydney, in November 2014.
The ECB said the new measures will require all male and female cricketers to use helmets when batting.
Wicketkeepers standing up to the stumps and fielders closer than eight yards to the batsman's middle stump, except behind the wicket on the off side, will also have to wear helmets.
It said the recommendations followed a joint review by the ECB and the Professional Cricketers' Association, and were designed to reduce the risk of head and facial injuries within the game.
The king, who will be accompanied by Queen Letizia, will stay at Windsor Castle during the visit, from 8-10 March.
It will be the first Spanish state visit to the UK since 1986.
Felipe, 47, acceded to the Spanish throne in June 2014 after his father, Juan Carlos, abdicated. It was the first royal transition in Spain since democracy was restored in the 1970s.
Juan Carlos, who had reigned for 39 years, won plaudits for his role in bringing back democracy but his image suffered when he went on a luxurious African elephant-hunting safari while Spain was suffering an economic crisis.
The royal family's reputation suffered further damage when accusations of tax fraud were made against Felipe's sister, Cristina.
Cristina, who denies wrongdoing, is due to go on trial in January.
Karen, who is 24 years old and from Cork in Ireland, was last seen walking away from a nightclub in Glasgow's west end after talking to a man outside.
She had been at Sanctuary nightclub on Dumbarton Road from about 23.45 on Saturday night.
At 01:00 she told friends she was going to the toilet but did not return or take her jacket.
She was then seen on CCTV talking to a man outside the club, before leaving and walking towards Church Street.
Miss Buckley is described as white, about 5ft to 5ft 2in (155-160cm) tall, with brown eyes and dark hair with long black curly hair extensions in.
She was said to be wearing an all-in-one black jump suit with red high heels and a black handbag when she disappeared. She speaks in an Irish accent.

With another four satellites set to go up in a few months, Galileo is now on course to start the public transmission of initial navigation and timing services before the end of the year.
Tuesday launch was performed as usual by a Soyuz rocket flying out of Sinamary in French Guiana.
The Russian medium-lift vehicle left the ground at precisely 05:48 local time (08:48 GMT).
The deployment into a circular orbit some 23,000km above the Earth occurred three and three-quarter hours later. European controllers communicated the spacecraft to confirm their good health and correct orbital parameters.
The EU is investing billions in its sat-nav project. It believes Galileo will bring significant returns to member-state economies in the form of new businesses that can exploit precise timing and location data, delivered from orbit.
Galileo's next-generation technologies are designed to provide users with quicker, more reliable fixes, enabling them to locate their positions with an error of one metre, compared with the current GPS error of several metres.
But the use of sat-nav signals goes far beyond just finding one's way through an unfamiliar city. Its timing function has now become ubiquitous in many fields, including in the synchronisation of global financial transactions, telecommunications and energy networks.
Each new Galileo spacecraft is made by a German-UK consortium.
Surrey Satellite Technology Limited of Guildford prepares the payload - the "brains" of each spacecraft. These come off an assembly line every six weeks and are shipped to Bremen where OHB System integrates them with service and propulsion modules ready for flight.
Each satellite costs about 30 million euros.
SSTL has just completed delivery of its 22nd and last payload under the present contract arrangements.
The European Commission is currently in the middle of a tender process for more spacecraft. It needs additional platforms to meet its stated aim of having a fully operational constellation of 30 satellites (the number includes spares) by the decade's end.
The next Galileo launch will be different from all previous ones, in that it will see the use of an Ariane rocket for the first time. This vehicle has the muscle to loft four 700kg satellites at once - something that is beyond the capability of the Soyuz.
Ireland's O'Mahony, 27, will lead the Lions in the first Test against New Zealand in Auckland on Saturday.
The flanker, who missed a year after the 2015 World Cup through injury, had to lead his Munster side following the death of head coach Anthony Foley.
"It was a really hard year but he'll have learned a lot," O'Connell said.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, the former Ireland and Munster lock added: "For some the Lions tour is the be-all and end-all but his experiences over the past few years have let him realise that nothing is.
"He's had a lot of experience with ups and downs."
O'Mahony was a fringe player for Ireland in this year's Six Nations after losing his place following a long-term knee injury.
His solitary start came when he was recalled for their final match against England, but only after Jamie Heaslip pulled out through injury minutes before kick-off.
O'Mahony was handed the start, picking up player of the match and earning himself a spot on the plane to New Zealand.
But the back rower's domestic season with Munster finished in disappointing fashion as his side were beaten by Saracens in the Champions Cup semi-final before losing out to Scarlets in the Pro12 Grand Final.
O'Connell says these experiences have helped O'Mahony and he will be ready to lead by example on Saturday.
"He's a Martin Johnson-type player," said his former Ireland and Munster team-mate. "He doesn't say a lot but when he speaks it carries weight, it won't be too complicated.
"He was probably a bit lucky that Sam Warburton is struggling with injury but the big thing you have to do as a skipper is play well yourself and lead by example. That's what he'll do."

SDLP MLA Nichola Mallon has also urged NI Water to put a more robust system in place to prevent tampering with hydrants.
Ligoniel and New Lodge are among the areas that have been affected.
NI Water said some staff had come under threat as they tried to close hydrants.
It stressed that fire hydrant abuse was illegal and appealed to community and political representatives "to continue to support us in tackling this issue".
"There have also been incidents where NI Water staff have come under threat from local youths when they try to close the hydrant down, having to return late into the night when the crowds have gone," NI Water said.
"This is totally unacceptable behaviour toward staff who are trying their best to do their job and protect the water supply to customers.
"The whole community needs to help us put a stop to this behaviour before the unthinkable scenario occurs where a fire breaks out and there is no water for the NI Fire & Rescue Service to deal with the fire."
Ms Mallon said the disruption began on Sunday.
"It is particularly hard for parents with young children when there is no access to water to bath them and in this hot weather drinking water - for the likes of elderly people it is also a hardship," she said.
"Some young people might think this is harmless fun, it is not, it is causing serious disruption to people's lives.
"For Northern Ireland Water there must be a more robust way of securing the hydrants to prevent this abuse, surely in this day and age there must be a way of securing them so they cannot be tampered with."
NI Water said it had used "vandal-proof" hydrant lids in an attempt to stop the hydrants being vandalised, but said that "if someone has the time and the resources, they can eventually break these open".
Ms Trierweiler left Pitie Salpetriere hospital for the presidential residence at La Lanterne in Versailles.
Ms Trierweiler later tweeted to say she was "very touched" by all the messages of support she had received.
Closer magazine had alleged the liaison between Mr Hollande and Julie Gayet.
It said that the affair had begun during the 2012 presidential race.
Ms Gayet, 41, says she is suing Closer for breach of privacy, seeking 50,000 euros (£41,000; $68,000) in damages and 4,000 euros in legal costs.
Profile: The women in his life
Ms Trierweiler, 48, works for Paris Match magazine, which said she was planning to rest at La Lanterne.
Mr Hollande has not commented on the latest news.
However, a source at the presidential office told Agence France-Presse news agency that Ms Trierweiler would stay at La Lanterne "for a few days".
Ms Trierweiler later tweeted: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who have sent messages of support and for my recovery - by Twitter, SMS or email. Very touched."
Ms Trierweiler had been admitted to hospital on 10 January, in a reported state of shock at the allegations.
Mr Hollande visited her for the first time on Thursday evening.
French media have claimed that Ms Trierweiler suffered an anxiety attack last week, but her friends have played down her condition.
At his annual news conference on Tuesday at the Elysee to discuss his political agenda, Mr Hollande was asked questions about the alleged affair.
Mr Hollande, 59, said he was experiencing a "difficult moment" in his private life but refused to answer questions over the report in Closer, saying "private matters should be dealt with privately".
Nor would he clarify whether Ms Trierweiler was still first lady before a February trip to the US.
State Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem has said more than one judge should have a chance to review the law.
The law bans abortions after a foetal heartbeat is detected, as early as six weeks into pregnancy.
In April, District Judge Daniel Hovland found the law "invalid and unconstitutional".
"The United States Supreme Court has spoken and has unequivocally said no state may deprive a woman of the choice to terminate her pregnancy at a point prior to viability," Judge Hovland wrote in his ruling.
The US Supreme Court ruled in the landmark Roe v Wade decision of 1973 that abortion must be legal until a foetus is viable, typically 22-24 weeks.
"The legislature passed the law in hopes that a higher court would revisit the issue," Mr Stenehjem said in a statement to the Associated Press news agency.
"It seems prudent that an appellate court should have an opportunity to consider the issue rather than have one judge overturn the judgment of the legislative assembly."
The case will now be heard by the US 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
North Dakota's anti-abortion law was one of four such bills Republican Governor Jack Dalrymple signed into law in 2013.
The state's sole abortion clinic and the Center for Reproductive Rights sued to overturn the law and a US district judge ruled in April.
"The court was correct to call this law exactly what it is - a blatant violation of the constitutional guarantees afforded to all women," Center for Reproductive Rights president Nancy Northrup wrote in a statement after the April ruling.

The Italian celebrated on the pitch with his players at full-time at Goodison Park, after goals from Pedro, Gary Cahill and Willian.
Chelsea need three more wins from their last four games to secure the title in Conte's first season in charge.
"There are two Antonios. Two different people," said the 47-year-old.
"During the game, I know I am an animal.
"After the game, I must be relaxed when we win but I think it's very good to celebrate this win with the players, staff and fans. I live for this."
Conte, who won three consecutive Serie A titles as Juventus boss between 2012 and 2014, is renowned for being an energetic, loud presence on the touchline.
He celebrated all three of his side's goals at Everton by punching the air and running down the touchline.
The Italian is calm and thoughtful during post-match interviews and news conferences, a trait he says he likes to see in his players.
"We must be pleased because we played a game with the head and, at this part of this season, it is important to use our head, then your heart and then your legs," he said.
Conte believes in the mantra so much, he wrote a book called Testa, cuore e gambe (Head, heart and legs) in 2014.
Chelsea's lead over second-placed Tottenham remains at four points after Spurs' 2-0 win over Arsenal later on Sunday.
And Blues captain Cahill said it could prove to be a crucial day in the title race.
"We have made a massive stride, there's no getting away from that," he said.
"We knew how big the three points would be. There's still time to go but it's a huge step."
Later on Sunday a government committee will discuss a draft bill that contains the plan.
Israeli media say the measure would stop mosques from using PA systems for their five-times-daily calls to prayer.
Critics say the move would be unnecessarily divisive.
The volume limitations would apply to all religions but will mainly impact on Muslims' call to prayer from mosques. The first of these is at dawn and the last is after sunset.
About 17.5% of people who live in Israel are ethnically Arabic and most of these are Muslims.
Nasreen Hadad Haj-Yahya from the Israel Democracy Institute, a thinktank, wrote in a local newspaper that "the real aim is not to prevent noise but rather to create noise that will hurt all of society and the efforts to establish a sane reality between Jews and Arabs".
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a cabinet meeting: "I cannot count the times - they are simply too numerous - that citizens have turned to me from all parts of Israeli society, from all religions, with complaints about the noise and suffering caused them by the excessive noise coming to them from the public address systems of houses of prayer.
"Israel is committed to protect anyone who suffers from the excessively loud calls."
Police said it is believed the device was thrown at a property in Sheridan Street, in the New Lodge area, overnight, but the incident was not reported until 09:45 GMT on Saturday.
Damage was caused to a window frame in the attack but the occupants of the house were not injured.
A number of houses were evacuated during the police operation but residents have now been allowed home.
Pires said it took him more than six months to settle after his 2000 move.
His fellow Frenchman Lacazette, a 26-year-old striker, cost the Gunners £46.5m from Lyon after scoring 28 goals in Ligue 1 last season.
"I think he'll be a success. But maybe he will need time to adapt," Pires, who was at Arsenal for six years, said.
Lacazette scored on his first Arsenal appearance in a pre-season game against Sydney FC last week, and is likely to face Chelsea in Beijing on Saturday.
But former France international Pires - who also made the direct move from Ligue 1 to the Premier League - believes it will take time for Lacazette to get used to English football.
"He is a good striker who has scored a lot of goals with Lyon. Of course it will be very difficult in the beginning because when you play in France and move to England it is not the same, it is very aggressive.
"Maybe he will need time for the adaptation but everyone around him is very important, especially the French connection.
"But to make the adaption, to find the rhythm and the tempo, for me it took six or seven months. It was very tough, for me it was the aggression and intensity."
Pires said he initially thought he had made a mistake signing for Arsenal from Marseille because of the physical nature of the game in England.
He said: "It was my first game away at Sunderland and Arsene Wenger said 'Robert, I know you are a bit upset because you want to play but I prefer if you are on the bench and you can watch the game, the fight and the tempo'.
"After 20 minutes sat on the bench I said to myself 'what are you doing here?' because it was very, very difficult. I remember one tackle from Patrick Vieira and I thought this football wasn't for me.
"It was very difficult and it is about adaptation. If you play in France, Spain or Italy it is not the same football."
Pires also said that 21-year-old Monaco winger Thomas Lemar, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal, "is one of the best French players".
"I love Lemar. He played very well last season with Monaco in the Champions League. He is a young player with good technique, a good left foot, he can do a good cross and score good goals. For me, he has a very good profile to play for Arsenal."
Officers said the incident happened in the early hours of Saturday and have issued descriptions of two men wanted in connection with the assault.
One was described as being aged between 24 and 28, of slim build, with short brown hair.
The second suspect was described as being about the same age, with ginger hair.
Police said the men were understood to have been in the area in a small black vehicle.
The 31-year old, who has played 22 ODIs and 10 Twenty20 internationals, holds a UK passport and will play in all forms.
Broom said: "It's a great opportunity for me. I have heard great things about the progress being made at Derbyshire."
Elite performance director Graeme Welch said: "We know we need to strengthen our batting. Adding a player of Neil's experience and calibre will do that."
Christchurch-born Broom's last appearance for the Black Caps came in a T20 international against Sri Lanka in November 2013.
In a video posted on YouTube, Brett and Naghemeh King said they had "pleaded" with staff at Southampton General Hospital for their five-year-old son Ashya to be given it.
The technology is currently only available in the UK to treat eye cancers, but patients with other forms of cancer can apply for NHS funding for therapy abroad.
So what is proton beam therapy?
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 directed at a tumour more precisely than X-rays and unlike conventional treatments the beams stop once they hit the target, rather than carrying on through the body.
Experts say this causes less damage to surrounding tissue and reduces side-effects.
Matthew Crocker, a consultant neurosurgeon at St George's Healthcare, in London, said conventional radiotherapy had "a range of side-effects, partly because of the way that the energy is distributed".
He said proton beam therapy could be potentially successful for tumours "within the brain and central nervous-system".
NHS England says the treatment works best on "very rare cancers, including tumours affecting the base of the skull or the spine", and is "particularly suitable to specific complex childhood cancers".
Currently, the only facility that offers proton beam therapy in the UK - Clatterbridge Centre for Cancer NHS Foundation Trust, in Wirral - treats rare cancers of the eye.
The Department of Health says that from April 2018 the treatment will be offered to up to 1,500 cancer patients at hospitals in London and Manchester, following investment worth £250m.
Until then, it says the NHS will continue to fund selected patients to be sent for treatment in other countries, including Switzerland and the US.
Individual cases are put forward by consultants who submit a form for review by a clinical panel, the NHS says.
The panel then decides whether the patient is suitable for proton beam therapy.
Since establishing a programme to send patients overseas in 2008, the NHS says 412 patients out of 546 referrals have been approved for the treatment, including 293 children.
However, the treatment is very expensive.
The NHS estimates the average cost of the treatment to be £100,000 per patient.
Families of patients who have not received NHS funding have often been left having to raise thousands of pounds to pay for the treatment themselves.
Charities say, even if funding is approved, families should be aware of extra costs involved including any additional medical treatment, and accommodation and living expenses for family members.
Tracy Laycock said her son Morgan was approved for NHS funding to cover his treatment in the US state of Oklahoma, after he developed a tumour on his face.
She said waiting to hear from the NHS panel was "just the worst time ever".
"We nearly didn't get it because Morgan was classed as being too old so we had a bit of a carrot-dangling situation where [they said] yes you could have it but he might not get it if a younger child had come along," she said.
"We already had a family discussion before that and we would have sold everything to fund it privately if we couldn't have it done [through the NHS]."
Announcing the decision in October 2012 to develop two proton beam therapy centres in the UK, the Department of Health said there was a "clear need to develop services in this country".
It estimated that, until then, the NHS would be spending about £30m a year treating up to 400 patients overseas, adding that costs had "increased as the international demand increases". | People in Northern Ireland spend the most money in the UK on looking good, according to a government survey of weekly spending habits.

William Hope pleaded guilty to 14 charges including six counts of rape and four sexual assaults when he appeared at Carlisle Crown Court.
Three victims were targeted in the abuse, the court heard.
Hope, 56, of no fixed address, was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on 9 June.
He has also admitted four counts of indecent assault on a child.
Hope's offences were committed during a period between the early 1990s and March this year, the hearing was told.
Judge Peter Davis told him a prison sentence was "inevitable".
Rooney scored in United's 3-0 win over Stoke City that allowed under-pressure Van Gaal to enjoy an emphatic win.
It leaves his captain Rooney just five goals behind Old Trafford legend Charlton's record of 249.
"It will be good for him and good for me because when he scores we win," said Van Gaal.
Jesse Lingard and Antony Martial were also on target as United remained just five points behind fourth-placed Arsenal while ending an embarrassing run of 11 home games without a first-half goal.
Van Gaal, who praised the contributions of Juan Mata and Martial in a fine all-round team display, called on United to produce the consistency that will put recent troubles behind them.
Media playback is not supported on this device
He said: "Mata participated in all three goals and that is what I like to see, but every player has to prove it every week - even my captain Wayne Rooney. He has to do that. Everybody forgets he was substituted against Stoke City on Boxing Day, but it is always the same with me.
"You have to prove it every game and in every training session, and if you do you play. But when Rooney plays like this you cannot say to him 'come to the bench.'"
Jesse Lingard's 14th-minute goal eased Old Trafford tensions - ending the run without a first-half goal stretching over eight hours 40 minutes.
And Van Gaal said: "It was a great performance, not only defensively but in attack. The difference in the first half was that we scored and that made things easier. Michael Carrick said to me that when you score early like that everything goes more easily."
Van Gaal took his first chance to welcome Pep Guardiola, who played under him at Barcelona, after it was revealed he will take over at rivals Manchester City next summer.
"He was my captain at Barcelona so I will be very pleased to see him," said Van Gaal. "I can also speak Spanish which is convenient for him."
Dave Artell picked up his first win as the Railwaymen's boss to ease the club's relegation fears.
George Cooper and Chris Dagnall both hit a brace to sweep the strugglers into a four-goal lead before the half-hour mark.
Cooper tucked the ball past James McKeown from the tightest of angles to give his side a flying start in the second minute.
Grimsby responded with Jamey Osbourne - who had an unsuccessful trial at Crewe last summer - forcing a good save out of Ben Garratt with a rasping drive.
Opportunist finishing from Dagnall in the 16th minute doubled the lead with the striker hooking a low shot under the despairing McKeown.
Defender Ben Nugent and Jordan Bowery went close and the Railwaymen looked threatening whenever they piled forward.
They had been the joint lowest scorers in League Two before the game, but they surprised even their die-hard fans when they picked off two more goals in quick succession.
First Cooper curled a superb free-kick from the edge of the D over the wall after 25 minutes. Then four minutes later Dagnall also grabbed his second when he was on hand to prod home from close range after Bowery helped on Cooper's low cross.
Grimsby improved slightly after Marcus Bignot made a triple substitution at the break, but Tom Bolarinwa blazed high and wide with an easy late chance.
Crewe still piled forward with McKeown pushing Bowery's fierce drive around the post before excelling himself when tipping over an ambitious volley from the halfway line from the impressive Cooper.
Callum Cooke then wrapped up it up three minutes from time on his home debut when he slid a low shot into the corner of the net from Callum Ainley's ball.

Pete and Andrew both love to surf, but got fed up of sharing the ocean with tonnes of rubbish.
They decided it was time for a clean-up, and have invented a 'sea bin' which is specially designed to float on the surface of the ocean, and vacuum up the rubbish.
And it's not just surfers who will benefit - rubbish in the ocean can cause much more serious problems for sea-life.
Experts say that animals like turtles, dolphins, whales, and sea birds are all at risk because of the litter.
The inventors are hoping that their creation can help to protect the environment, and make oceans a nicer place for everyone.
York Minster dismissed its 30 volunteer bell-ringers in October due to "safeguarding issues".
The York Press has reported that bell-ringers in Leeds have opted to stand by their colleagues and refused York's offer.
The Dean and Chapter have not responded to the BBC's request for comment.
A source close to the sacked bell-ringers told the BBC they would be willing to return for the Christmas period should the Minster have "a change of heart".
Read more about this and other stories from across York and North Yorkshire
The Minster says it has always intended to recruit a new team of volunteers by Easter 2017 and has previously said all the dismissed bell-ringers were welcome to apply.
Chris Mew, president of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, confirmed ringers elsewhere had been approached by the Minster.
He said: "It is, however, a pity that some of the former ringers could not have been suitably passed through the latest processes for volunteers including, where appropriate, [criminal record] checks, since this could have been achieved between October and December."
Mr Mew added that ringers approached by the Minster to stand in at Christmas would have to "follow their own consciences".
The Dean of York, The Very Reverend Vivienne Faull, initially said the team had been dismissed because of health and safety issues, and a wish to bring it into line with other volunteer groups.
It later emerged that there were also safeguarding issues relating to a member of the team.
Same-sex marriage policies were associated with a 7% fall in reported suicide attempts, according to analysis of 17 years of data.
The drop was particularly evident among "sexual minorities" - which saw a 14% drop in suicide attempts.
It concluded that same-sex marriage laws had "mental health consequences".
But the report also said it could not say exactly how policy on same-sex marriage reduces suicide attempts - just that there is evidence of an association.
Suicide is the second-largest cause of death among 15-24 year olds in the United States, according to the report's data.
About 29% of gay, lesbian, and bisexual high school students reported at least one suicide attempt in the 12 months before answering the survey - compared with just 6% of heterosexual teens.
The new study compared the change in suicide rates from 32 states permitting same-sex marriage - before and after the policy was implemented - with 15 states which did not allow same-sex marriage.
The report's author, Julia Raifman, said the drop-off in suicide attempts, particularly among lesbian, gay, and bisexual teens, was interesting because "high school students are unlikely to marry in the immediate future - so that suggests that it's not a direct benefit from marriage."
"It's likely that something about having equal rights, or having more hope for the future, is driving the results," she said.
In an editorial accompanying the paper in the the Journal of the American Medical Association Paediatrics, Columbia University's Mark Hatzenbuehler wrote that "stigma is one of the most frequently hypothesised risk factors".
But, he wrote, research into stigma and mental health is almost exclusively at the personal level, rather than looking at factors in society at large.
"That literature has tended to overlook what we call structural forms of stigma - which include ... laws and policies," he said in an interview.
"Those results really highlight the fact that the legal climate surrounding LGB adolescents really deserves greater attention," he added.
The study analysed data on 762,678 teens from the Youth Risk Behaviour Surveillance System - a large-scale US-wide survey carried out every two years.
The report's data, however, depended on teens self-reporting a suicide attempt and found that there was "limited data" on sexual orientation. It also did not include suicidal actions which resulted in death.
The United States Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage was a right in every state in June 2015 - after the period covered by the new study.
Currently just the US dollar, the euro, the yen and the pound are in the group.
The IMF said the yuan ``met all existing criteria'' and should become part of the basket in October 2016.
IMF chief Christine Lagarde said it was "an important milestone in the integration of the Chinese economy into the global financial system".
She added it was also a recognition of the progress that the Chinese authorities have made in the past years in reforming China's monetary and financial systems.
The yuan will now make up part of the IMF's Special Drawing Rights (SDR) - an asset created by the IMF which serves almost as a currency.
It is used for transactions between central banks and the IMF, and is used to decide the currency mix that countries like Greece, for example, receive when the IMF provides financial aid.
The last change made to the basket was in 2000, when the euro replaced the German mark and the franc.
China is the world's second largest economy behind the US and asked for the yuan to become a reserve currency last year.
More than anything this move is a symbol - a powerful one - of China's meteoric rise, from poverty to pillar of the global economy.
Until now only the currencies of the four leading developed economies were used in the basket that determines the value of the SDR.
So for China to join this very small club is quite a statement of how the world economy has changed. There could also be some real benefits to China.
If the currency's elevated status leads to more being held by central banks businesses and businesses, it would be helpful for the government's finances. A state's monopoly over the issue of currency indirectly gives it an extra source of revenue.
But the main point is that the decision is new way of conveying the increasingly apparent message that China has a central role in driving the performance of the world economy.
Vaswani: The Chinese yuan is going global
Some analysts have suggested that by 2030 the yuan will become one of the top three major international currencies, together with the dollar and the euro.
Concerns about Beijing keeping the yuan artificially low to help exporters is one reason the currency has previously failed to meet the criteria for reserve currencies set out by the IMF.
However, Chinese officials have a made a concerted effort to build support for the yuan's inclusion, and a recent IMF staff report endorsed such a move.
Initially, the currency's inclusion would be largely a symbolic gesture, some analysts have said.
They have also said the yuan's continuing inclusion in the basket would depend on whether China progresses with its financial reforms.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was at a service in France to remember the lives lost in the Battle of the Somme.
Prime Minister David Cameron, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were also at the ceremony at The Thiepval Memorial to the Missing.
Earlier a two minute silence marked the exact moment the first wave of men went over the top in the battle.
It brought to an end an overnight vigil by members of the armed forces at the National War Memorial in Edinburgh.
More than a million men were wounded or killed in the 141-day battle, the most devastating encounter of World War One.
A ceremony has been held at the Lochnagar crater which was created by an explosion at the start of the battle in La Boiselle, France.
And wreathes have been laid at a memorial to the 15th and 16th battalions of the Royal Scots in the French village of Contalmaison.
In Glasgow two paving stones have been unveiled honouring local soldiers who received the Victoria Cross for bravery at the Somme.
Meanwhile, men dressed as World War One soldiers were spotted in Glasgow and Shetland handing out cards detailing casualties of the Battle of the Somme.
The hashtag #wearehere, which features on the cards, trended on Twitter as pictures of the tribute are shared.
It was later revealed to be a Somme commemoration project by National Theatre head Rufus Norris and artist Jeremy Deller.
Commemorations began at Scotland's National War Memorial on Thursday evening when hundreds of people joined military personnel, veterans and descendents at an overnight vigil.
Prayers were said before candles were taken inside the war memorial and placed on a casket containing the original Roll of Honour for the fallen of the Great War.
The candles were guarded overnight by representatives from units including the Wrens, the Royal Navy and several Scottish Army regiments, standing by the casket with their heads bowed.
A two-minute silence, which began with the firing of the One O'Clock Gun, ended at 07:30 when Lt Col Alan Hamilton sounded a whistle used by his great uncle, Robert Hamilton, in the trenches of the Somme.
"It was quite emotional, the hairs on the back of my neck went up," he said afterwards.
Ms Sturgeon, Mr Cameron, and senior members of the Royal Family were among around 10,000 people marking the anniversary at the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing in France.
About 70,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers with no known grave are commemorated at the site.
Speaking ahead of the service, Ms Sturgeon said: "Fifty-one Scottish battalions were involved, and the losses suffered by those units - and those from the other countries involved - were on an almost unimaginable scale.
"Barely a single community in Scotland was left untouched by the battle.
"Across Scotland communities are now remembering those who gave their lives, and a whole century on from the devastation and suffering of the Battle of the Somme, we should all reflect on the horrors of the Great War and give thanks that our continent now lives in peace."
Hundreds of people gathered around the memorial cairn in front of the church here in the French village of Contalmaison.
It was on the front line of the battle of the Somme and on this day 100 years ago, men from the Royal Scots climbed out of their trenches to attack the Germans lines in the surrounding fields.
Within one hour, of the 800 men attacking, 670 of them were dead or injured.
A colour party from the Royal Regiment of Scotland stood guard as tributes were paid, a two minutes silence observed and the last post sounded.
The veterans minister Keith Brown was also here to represent the Scottish government.
He said it was almost impossible to take in the losses but it was essential for the country to remember the sacrifice.
Sgt James Turnbull and Drummer Walter Ritchie have been remembered outside the People's Palace on Glasgow Green.
In ceremonies led by the Lord Provost of Glasgow, and attended by the men's relatives, commemorative paving stones have been unveiled.
Both men were awarded a Victoria Cross for acts of bravery on the first day of the Battle of the Somme.
Sgt Turnbull, who was hit by a sniper's bullet, died shortly afterwards, but Drummer Ritchie survived the war and later picked up his VC at Buckingham Palace.
The Lord Provost, Sadie Docherty, said the men showed "extraordinary courage" on the bloodiest day in the history of the British Army.
"One hundred years ago the heroism of both men was very well documented by the media in our city and beyond," she added.
"Today, we hope that by unveiling these commemorative paving stones we will ensure their story isn't forgotten for this generation and generations to come.
"I am particularly pleased that their families are able to take part in these ceremonies - and to be able to express to them the city's gratitude, and my own."
Here are five things you should know, so you're switched on about the news...
The Switch is designed to work as both a home console and a handheld device, like a DS.
There's a portable tablet-like gadget that becomes a home console you play on TV when it goes into the docking station.
The Switch has control panels on the side, which can slide off in a similar style to the Wii remotes, using movement.
Well, £279.99 to be precise. But still, a lot of money.
Plus there are accessories that will cost extra - like additional controllers or spare docks.
The games on offer at launch include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Just Dance 2017.
But some fans have said there aren't enough games available.
The Switch's creators have defended themselves.
They told BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat: "We're thinking long-term about our release schedule - we wouldn't want to put everything out at first."
Bosses at the Japanese company will be hoping the Switch sells.
The last console, Wii U, didn't do very well against Sony's PS4 and Microsoft's Xbox One.
This time there's competition from the PS4 Pro, which was released in November, and Xbox's Project Scorpio - that's due later this year. Read more on those consoles here.
The defender, 35, joined the squad last week and played in Saturday's 1-1 friendly draw with Marseille at Ibrox.
And Caixinha says summer signing Alves is already making a significant impact.
"He's a great man that this club needs, especially having at the back that leadership, experience and understanding of the game," boss Caixinha told the Rangers website.
"He's being a quiet boy, just observing and just getting to know everything around him, but he's that type of leader that doesn't need to express too much.
"Just his presence makes all the guys understand what is going on. In just a small conversation, a one-on-one situation, everybody understands.
"So that's the type of leadership Bruno has, more by his presence, and you ask me if I want more from him, I want a little bit more communication and also coaching from the back because he is seeing all the game.
"I really want Bruno to represent me on the pitch. That's one situation that I've been talking with him about and he's going to do it very easily.
"Bruno, when he just touched the first ball against Marseille, everybody was happy with him, everybody was happy with his leadership."
Also making his debut on Saturday was Graham Dorrans, and Caixinha says the 30-year-old Scot was among a number of players to make a big impression against Marseille.
"Dorrans in the middle of the park did great," the manager added. "Both of them (Dorrans and Alves) are not at the best fitness level, we need to put them up to that in the next two weeks.
"But only by understanding the game and understanding what it really means to play for this great club they can make the difference.
"Ryan Jack is another one that is getting used to it and adapting, and he is also helping us a lot to keep the balance of the team.
"It doesn't matter which way the team is playing, he is always down there to give us the balance and the other one that has also conquered a little bit our fans in Ibrox was (Daniel) Candeias.
"He also understands the way he needs to perform. He can do even better and give us a fantastic relationship on the right along with James (Tavernier). I'm very glad that things are going in that direction.
"I do believe that we are building a good team, a strong team, a competitive team and one that needs to be like all the great teams in the history of this great club."
Sami Khedira put the visitors ahead after just seven minutes following a deft one-two with Miralem Pjanic.
Napoli captain Marek Hamsik levelled after the break from Dries Mertens' reverse pass.
Mertens then hit the post from a tight angle after beating goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to Kwadwo Asamoah's back-pass but Juve held on.
The build-up to the game had been dominated by the return to Naples of former striker Gonzalo Higuain, but the 29-year-old was unable to have a meaningful impact on the match.
Roma's 2-0 victory over Empoli on Saturday had cut the advantage of Massimiliano Allegri's side to five points, while Napoli remain third, four points ahead of Lazio.
Elsewhere on Sunday, fifth-placed Atalanta thrashed Genoa 5-0 away and bottom club Pescara held AC Milan to a 1-1 draw at home.

St Peter's Hospice has been awarded £15,000 from a programme financed by the St James's Place Foundation.
Julia Di Castiglione, from the charity, said the grant meant it could continue to help seriously ill people live in comfort until they die.
"It will also enable us to provide support for their family and friends," she said.
"Last year our team cared for over 350 patients at home - it's great that we will be able to help even more people this year."
Beamish, in County Durham, appealed for semi-detached houses built between 1950 and 1959 to use as a design base to replicate at a new attraction.
Built as social housing, nine entries were chosen as finalists, from people's childhood homes to their current ones.
Esther Gibbon, 92, whose house in Redhouse Estate, Sunderland, was chosen as the winning property, said it was "great" her "happy home" had won.
Esther's house, where she has lived since 1952, will be replicated, rather than rebuilt, brick-by-brick like the properties in the older parts of the museum.
Her daughter Linda, who was born in the front room of the house, said: "I think I already view it [the house] as iconic but it's going to be more iconic now - we're really looking forward to it."
The museum's project officer Geraldine Straker, said it was a "wonderful house" with a "strong story" which would "really represent" the 1950s and 1950s housing in the new area.
The 1950s-style development, costing £10.75m, will also include a cafe, shops, police house, cinema and recreation area.
North Yorkshire Police said it began an inquiry into the Jack Raine Community Foundation, in York, in 2016.
The Charity Commission said it was also investigating the charity, which helps vulnerable children and young people.
North Yorkshire Police said a 55-year-old man and a woman, 59, had been arrested and bailed pending further inquiries.
The charity has yet to respond to a request from the BBC for a comment.

The Charity Commission said after being alerted by the police it had undertaken an unannounced inspection in November 2016.
It found "insufficient financial records and no evidence of trustee meeting minutes to reflect any decisions taken by the trustee board".
It then decided to launch a full statutory inquiry into the organisation.
It will focus on financial management, general administration and whether trustees complied with their legal duties and responsibilities.
The charity's bank accounts have also been frozen in order to protect its assets, the commission added.
Sean Heiss, from Surbiton, south London, killed Margaret Sheehy, 58, at her home in Kingston in June 2012.
Three months later, he nearly beheaded Clementina Liscano in Barcelona.
Heiss admitted killing Ms Sheehy, but denied murder on grounds of diminished responsibility. He must serve at least 27 years and three months in jail.
Judge Gerald Gordon sentenced Heiss at the Old Bailey after a jury convicted him by a majority of 10 to one on Wednesday.
The court had heard Ms Sheehy considered selling her flat and using some of the proceeds to help pay off her son's debts, but had then changed her plans.
But Judge Gordon ruled out greed as the motive for her murder and said: "In my view the cause of the killing that night was anger."
Heiss had quit his job and was £200 overdrawn in one bank account when he throttled Ms Sheehy on 11 June 2012.
He then stole her bank cards and escaped by Eurostar to Paris, travelling from there to Spain.
In October, he was arrested by Spanish police for stabbing Ms Liscano to death after she disturbed him while he slept rough by a cash machine.
Heiss, 30, who had suffered from psychotic illness in the past, did not dispute that he killed his mother but denied murdering her on grounds of diminished responsibility.
He was sentenced to 22 years in jail for the Spanish murder and extradited to the UK for murdering his mother.
Judge Gordon said Heiss' life sentence would run alongside any outstanding sentence for Ms Liscano's murder.
The part-plane, part-airship Airlander 10 was badly damaged when it nosedived during a test flight on 24 August.
After extensive repairs, it has now been moved back to its mooring mast at Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire.
Manufacturer, Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV), said it would not announce a flight date in advance but that final tests were under way.
It said the aircraft, which is the length of a football pitch, was "flight-ready" and was expected to be airborne "very soon".
HAV chief executive Stephen McGlennnan said: "With our next flight just round the corner, this opens a new chapter in aviation history.
"An aircraft that flies in an entirely new way and which can do so many useful things is about to be a regular sight over the UK. I think we'll amaze people."
Airlander was moved out of its hangar at Cardington shortly after 21:00 on Friday to complete final preparations.
HAV believes it could be used for a variety of functions, such as surveillance, communications, delivering aid and even passenger travel.
The £25m aircraft was given a pair of "giant inflatable landing feet" as part of improvements following its crash on 24 August.
No-one was injured in the accident, but the cockpit was effectively destroyed.
It happened when Airlander climbed to an excessive height because its mooring line became caught on power cables, an Air Accidents Investigation Branch report found.
Airlander 10 in numbers
The five men and two women were east of Bramble Bank when their yacht Ino collided with another named Valkyrie.
Cowes RNLI lifeboat and Gosport independent lifeboat rushed to the scene and pulled the people out of the water.
The Cowes-based Corby 36 yacht Ino sank very quickly, according to the lifeboat team.
All people on board were wearing lifejackets and were taken to Trinity Landing in Cowes on the Isle of Wight.
No-one was seriously injured.
The 29-year-old man was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of assisting an offender in relation to the death of Assel Al-Essaie. He was later released on bail, South Yorkshire Police said.
Mr Al-Essaie, 23, died in hospital after being shot in the chest in Daniel Hill, Walkley.
Four men, two women and two teenage boys, have previously been bailed.
Live updates and more stories from Yorkshire
Mr Al-Essaie was believed to be in a black Mercedes C class car when he was shot on Saturday 18 February.
Armed police sealed off surrounding streets and he was taken to hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Officers are still asking for anyone with information about Mr Al-Essaie's death to come forward.
A number of "refusenik" cases are piling up.
Top of the list is Mike Ashley, the owner of Sports Direct, who, after refusing earlier invitations, has been summoned to give evidence to the BIS Committee on 7 June, and so far shows no sign of being prepared to appear.
And there's also the case of Matthew Elliott, chief executive of Vote Leave, who has displeased the Treasury Committee by failing to appear for its Brexit inquiry.
If a witness declines a select committee summons, their refusal can be treated as a matter of Parliamentary privilege, which would require the committee to seek leave from the Speaker to bring a motion before the House of Commons.
Were the motion to be passed, we could then have the entertaining sight of the Serjeant at Arms, in full regalia, setting off to apprehend the miscreant and bring them to Westminster. Except for the minor difficulty that the Serjeant has no powers of arrest or entry, and the police would have no legal basis to assist him, so the whole thing could become rather embarrassing.
The reality is that the House's powers to compel reluctant witnesses are legally pretty shaky. But witnesses could find that there is a price to pay if they refuse to turn up. Rupert Murdoch originally declined a request from the Culture, Media and Sport Committee to give evidence on phone hacking - but eventually did attend the session where he was, famously, custard-pied. Why? Because his company was suddenly facing considerable reputational damage over phone-hacking, and possibly because suggestions were made that a failure to appear could lead to questions about whether he was a "fit and proper person" to run a TV company in the UK.
Such considerations will not apply to all witnesses.
So what happens if someone either refuses point-blank, or simply fails to turn up at the appointed hour?
Here the plot thickens.
It is possible to imagine that there may not be unanimous support for going nuclear and treating non-attendance as a matter of privilege. This could manifest itself on the select committee in question, or at the Liaison Committee (the super-committee of all select committee chairs) which might also wish to weigh in. Or a motion to the House might be opposed by some MPs, especially if the government, for whatever reason, wasn't keen.
The motion could either condemn refusal by the witness, or, more likely, refer the issue to the Privileges Committee - so that the original committee would not be acting as judge and jury in hearing its own complaint. It would also give the reluctant witness another opportunity to comply, or to make their case to the Privileges Committee itself. But any hint of dissent or doubt among MPs would weaken the pressure on them to play ball.
So suppose the witness remains obdurate? The Privileges Committee would be left with little option but to rule that their refusal was contempt of Parliament.
At that point they hit real difficulties; the Commons' ancient powers to fine, or even jail, offenders are incompatible with human rights law. No-one has been fined by the Commons since 1666, and no-one has been jailed for contempt since 1880.
The alternative of summoning the witness to the Bar of the House for a telling-off by Mr Speaker is fraught with danger; they might refuse to appear, at which point we're back to Square 1, or they might turn up and stage an embarrassing, and televised, scene by answering back as the Speaker attempted to rebuke them.
There are, however, other sanctions - the Privileges Committee could recommend that the offender should be formally "admonished" by a resolution of the House, after a fair process of investigation had established that they were in contempt; that could have all kinds of implications - they could be disqualified as a company director, or lose "fit and proper person" status to hold some kind of licence in the UK.
And similar issues might arise if the witness did appear, if they were to be over-combative, or if they refused to answer certain questions.
Today's news that Sir Philip Green is prepared to appear before the BIS and Work and Pensions committees, to answer questions arising out of the troubles of BHS, removes one possible refusenik from the list accumulating on the committee corridor - but there could be a real issue about what he was able to say while under investigation by the Insolvency Service.
So all of this awaits a test case.
In the past few weeks alone it has welcomed people from Kuwait, mainland Europe, the United States and Canada, as well as Scotland and the rest of the UK. This week it celebrates its 25th anniversary.
Housed in the old Bridgeton library in Glasgow's east end, the warm wood and painted pillars speak to the golden age of libraries. And while in many ways it still looks like a regular library, there are clues that things are a bit different.
There is the healthy noise level for a start and then a beautiful old umbrella stand, said to have been painted by suffragettes being held in a nearby prison.
Adele Patrick was one of the founders of the library in 1991 and is now creative development manager.
"We're hugely ambitious that a resource like ours can change lives when people come into contact with wonderful art, wonderful literature, wonderful books - so we're advocates for culture, but to the widest range of people," she says.
The origins of the library came as Glasgow was nominated to be European city of culture in 1990.
There was a feeling from some women, Ms Patrick included, that it would be great if "women's culture and creativity was actually part of the mix, was part of what people would be seeing when they're looking at Glasgow in this new light".
After the year was over, they felt there was still a need for a resource where women could come together, support each other and develop projects. It began with a lot of ambition, but very little money and over the past 25 years it has had a number of different homes across the city.
Now though, it is the UK's only accredited museum dedicated to women's history. Last year it was awarded Recognised Collections of National Significance status by Museum Galleries Scotland.
In the library's first floor museum and archive store, rows of shelving can be opened up to reveal more rows of green boxes. These protect the library's thousands of documents and objects, covering the gamut of female experience.
They include suffragette jewellery and postcards, knitting patterns, girls' annuals, as well as material about Greenham Common and the Commonwealth Games.
All of the material is donated and for Wendy Turner, the library's first professional museum curator, part of the excitement is that she just does not know what the next phone call offering a donation may bring.
"The challenge really is what story to tell," she says, "because every object will tell a different story for different people."
The library is in the early stages of trying to arrange community curators to talk to people in the local area "to look and engage with the collections and see the stories that the objects tell for them, so not just the story that came with the object".
In the main space on the day I visit, a regular lunchtime reading group is taking place. Women of all ages are sitting round a table, bringing their unique experiences to discussing a book over a cup of tea and food.
"I read all the time and I've got opinions about everything," says book group regular, Annette Gray. She has followed the library since the beginning.
"It was the fact that your input was as valuable as anyone else's," she says. "Then there're all these books around that you could be encouraged to borrow."
Mary Kenealy has also been coming to the book group as often as she can. As someone who is profoundly deaf, she has found it an inclusive place where she can nurture her love of reading.
"I think it's a treasure we have in Glasgow," she says.
As she contemplates the library's anniversary, Ms Patrick thinks about some of the other changes she has noticed over the past 25 years, like a blossoming of women in art and literature.
She says: "There's this sort of strange paradox that I'm seeing this massive wealth of fantastic women succeeding across a range of fields but that's still not being felt in the DNA of young women coming forward."
For that reason, she concludes, "there's still a job to be done there".
Airdrie-based TOM Vehicle Rental paid an undisclosed amount for Stockton-on-Tees company Transflex.
The deal sees Transflex's 3,500 cars and light commercial vehicles, four depots and 80 employees join the larger TOM business.
The Scottish company now has a rental fleet of more than 16,000 vans, trucks, trailers and cars.
Its UK depot network has increased to 15 sites - six in Scotland, five in the north of England and four in the south.
TOM chief executive Robert Stewart said: "The purchase of Transflex Vehicle Rental comes at the right time and is a strong fit with our strategy to increase our UK market share by adding to our existing network, increasing our fleet size and customer base.
"Transflex has built a strong reputation for providing high-quality vehicles and excellent customer service over many years and this will continue going forward.
"The acquisition enables TOM to continue improving customer service through greater UK coverage and a larger available fleet offering."
The acquisition follows a management-led buyout of TOM in December, supported by private equity firm Equistone Partners Europe.
The 31-year-old paceman has flown to Dublin as cover, despite not being in the Black Caps' Champions Trophy squad.
He could be absent for Essex's next four One-Day Cup matches and the County Championship Division One game against Hampshire, which starts on 19 May.
Wagner has taken 21 wickets for the county so far this season.
And Essex say they will be keeping "an open line of communication" with New Zealand as the tri-series progresses.
Wagner is due to be replaced at Essex later this summer by Pakistan's Mohammad Amir.
But now they can actually feel what it's like to be right inside by wearing virtual reality (VR) headsets and getting a 360-degree view.
What's more, their colleagues also wearing headsets can inhabit the same life-like model and suggest and make changes to the design in real time. And these colleagues could be on the other side of the world.
This is the exciting new world of virtual buildings - a significant development for an industry traditionally more interested in bricks than clicks.
Even Crossrail chief executive Andrew Wolstenholme admits: "Historically, we have been very slow to pursue innovation. Before, there was no real need for suppliers to change.
"But now, as we have to find more opportunities overseas, we are in a much better place to reap the rewards."
Building information modelling (BIM) - developing a 3D digital prototype of a project - is moving up a gear.
San Francisco-based Vizerra, has introduced "gamification" and VR capability to its BIM product, Revizto.
"Revizto uses 3D gaming technology and cloud solutions to bring together various building design environments and workflows into a single, navigable view," says chief executive Arman Gukasyan.
The software's interactive 3D environments allow users to navigate their sites like in a video game, highlighting structural issues as they explore. Revizto now supports the HTC Vive and Oculus VR headsets.
The project team can collaborate in real time with the help of the built-in Revizto Issue tracker, and assign tasks to each other.
Vizerra says this kind of approach helps save its clients up to 40% of billable time, because errors - inadequate lighting or awkward placing of support columns, for example - can be spotted before construction begins.
"In any construction project 30% or more of total budget is spent on correcting the errors not visible in the design stage," says Mr Gukasyan.
"It is crazy how much money is wasted because of the old standards, where everything is done on 2D paper drawings.
"We are positioning ourselves as disruptive technology which demonstrates how gaming technology can be used in most serious industries and transform the way people co-ordinate and collaborate."
Revizto is now used by more than 60,000 clients in 150 countries, says Vizerra, including global architectural and construction practices, such as Foster & Partners and Perkins & Will.
Other leaders in this rapidly growing market include AutoCAD, Revit and Vectorworks Architect, with Research & Markets forecasting that software sales will reach nearly $12bn (£10bn) by 2022.
Large construction projects can be massively complex and costly, so keeping track of workers, materials and the build progress is crucial.
In the past, site foremen would often log staff hours manually in a little black book, which would later be transcribed on to a timecard and then the data fed into a computer.
But data analytics start-up Rhumbix digitises the collection of this data right from the start.
Its app enables staff to submit digital timesheets via smartphone for instant approval by foremen, who can also analyse staff GPS location data to track what work was done where. This makes it easier to pinpoint delays.
Rhumbix co-founder Zach Scheel served as a civil engineer for the US military and drew inspiration from how the army monitored movements of its 3,000 troops stationed at a military base outside Djibouti City during the Arab Spring of 2011.
Working on infrastructure projects a few years later in Chile, Mr Scheel realised there were similar issues with data collection and productivity in the construction sector.
"Labour is the largest cost on project sites and the least well-understood," he says.
"Smartphones, tablets and wireless connectivity have changed the game by laying the technological foundation necessary to build software for the field - where construction happens."
The software also enables the cost, quantity and availability of materials to be recorded in real time and viewed online by project managers. Contractors can also supply their costings and budgets.
This is important because 15% of materials delivered to construction sites end up in landfills, says the UK's Green Building Council, while building-related waste makes up almost 40% of total solid waste in the US.
For a large construction project to operate smoothly you need everyone singing from the same hymn sheet. But in the old analogue world, this was often tricky to achieve - mistakes would creep in.
"We would realise that many of the mistakes were happening because the site engineers did not have access to the right information at the right time," says Alexander Siljanovski, an engineer and chief executive of BaseStone, a software company specialising in construction.
The firm's tablet and web-based collaboration tool digitally links construction sites to head offices, enabling early detection of problems and more effective communications.
Drawings and documents are linked into the system, and new versions are automatically detected. Before such tools, team members would sometimes find themselves working from out-of-date drawings, or struggling to log safety issues effectively, says Mr Siljanovski.
BaseStone's "digital delivery platform for construction" is used in 50 countries, with clients including Alstom, Skanksa, Balfour Beatty and Crossrail.
Other companies offering similar project management software include HBXL and Builk.
So the construction sector is gradually beginning to appreciate the benefits of digitalisation, and with the help of VR computer-aided design, creating buildings that could never have been built before.

Born in Edinburgh in November 1934, he began his career with Hearts in 1953 and captained the side to the Scottish League title during the 1957-58 season.
In 1959 he joined Spurs and helped them win the league and FA Cup double, plus two further FA Cups in 1962 and 1967.
He won 22 Scotland caps and played in the 1958 World Cup finals in Sweden.
Hearts described Mackay as "a local hero... a legend and a man who will be sorely missed and well remembered".
Here, key characters in the Scottish game share their memories of one of Scottish and British football's greats.
"He would be in my all-time greatest Scottish team, no doubt about that.
"I watched him play for Hearts in the '50s. I was a boy at the time, and any time Hearts came to the west of Scotland my father took me to see them to see Dave Mackay.
"My dad used to say, 'I'm taking you to see Dave Mackay'; it wasn't Hearts.
"He'd run out into the centre circle with the ball in his hand and then back-heel it from there into the goal - that's how he led Hearts out.
"I remember watching him do that, it was a brilliant piece of skill, to back-heel the ball on the half volley from the centre spot into the goal was an impressive sight.
"He was inspirational in everything he did, a wonderful player.
"I met him in his latter years when I was at Derby and we were in the play-offs against West Brom.
"He was supporting Derby and he was very modest - like the big stars, the Billy McNeills, the John Greigs, the Lawrie Reillys, the Gordon Strachans, very modest indeed.
"He was an absolutely perfect midfield player and today he would be worth a fortune. You wonder what Dave Mackay would be worth in the modern market. He was in every respect an outstanding exponent.
"He was hard and respected by his team-mates and opponents alike."
"It's a sad day for football. Dave Mackay was an absolute gentleman and a wonderful football player.
"He was part of the team that was the standard bearer for everybody at Hearts - to show what could be done.
"I was lucky enough to meet him on several occasions and he was always the same - a really nice man.
"He was the complete player. He had energy, he could get about the pitch, he could tackle and he could play when he got the ball. He was a world-class player at the time.
"He was inducted into the Scottish and English Halls of Fame - that shows you just how good a player he was."
"He was a giant of a player. You get players who, when they emerge from the tunnel, immediately they dominate - he was that kind of player. I saw him in the early days at Hearts.
"He was a ferocious tackler and because of that he gained a reputation of being a hard man.
"Sometimes people thought he was a dirty player - he was nothing of the kind. He was bold, vociferous, a leader. He dominated so many games.
"You've probably seen that famous photograph with him and Billy Bremner, holding him up like a wee rabbit that he'd caught in the back garden.
"If you look at it, it's almost playful. There's a kind of chuckle about it. He was a lovely man. When you see that photo, think of a man who could chuckle as well as hit hard.

"He was a tremendous player, world class, right side of midfield, left side of midfield, it didn't matter.
"He was a great tackler and a great passer of a ball. If you wanted to play football, he'd play football; if you wanted to rough it, well, you picked the wrong man.
"He reminds me of the young Duncan Edwards at Manchester United. Dave Mackay was word class as a player and as a person.
"I tried to buy him when I was a coach at Chelsea. I told the manger Ted Drake to buy him from Hearts. He signed for Tottenham.
"Dave Mackay just wanted to play football; he didn't worry about what he was getting paid.
"He was great company."
The spray was tested on 228 people with leg ulcers, which are painful open wounds that can last for months.
The findings, published in the Lancet, showed that ulcers treated with the spray were more likely to heal and did so more quickly.
Experts said faster healing could save money despite the cost of the spray.
Leg ulcers are hard to treat. The best treatment, compression bandages, will heal only about 70% of ulcers after six months. Other options include taking skin from somewhere else on the body and grafting it over the wound.
Instead the spray puts a coating of donated skin cells and blood-clotting proteins over the ulcer.
In the study, patients who were given the spray-on-skin every 14 days showed the most improvement.
The researchers said the size of the wound "began to decrease rapidly" as soon as the treatment started. In the patients who had the spray, 70% were healed after three months compared with 46% who received other treatment.
The spray was developed by Healthpoint Biotherapeutics in the US, which also funded the research.
One of the scientists involved, Dr Herbert Slade, said: "The treatment we tested in this study has the potential to vastly improve recovery times and overall recovery from leg ulcers, without the need for a skin graft.
"This means not only that the patient doesn't acquire a new wound where the graft is taken from, but also that the spray-on solution can be available as soon as required - skin grafts take a certain amount of time to prepare, which exposes the patient to further discomfort and risk of infection."
The study largely tested the safety of the spray and the best dose to use, further studies will decide if it is a practical treatment for leg ulcers.
Leg ulcers are most commonly caused by high blood pressure in the veins of the legs which damage the skin, causing it to break down and develop into an open wound.
Irene Anderson, a lecturer in leg ulcer theory at the University of Hertfordshire, said: "A dressing or other application may have a positive effect on the wound for a period of time but ultimately if the underlying condition is not managed the leg will break down again.
"We do know that leg ulcers are becoming increasingly complex and when using the range of treatments available there needs to be clear evidence that there will be a beneficial effect to ensure cost effectiveness and to make sure that patients are not given false expectations of a cure."
Commenting on the study, Prof Matthias Augustin from the University Medical Centre in Hamburg, Germany, said compression would be the main treatment for some time.
"The temporary higher costs for additional cell and tissue-engineered therapy can be justified as an investment in improved healing," he added.
Robson beat world number 117 Klara Koukalova in the first round but fell 6-2 6-2 to Oceane Dodin, ranked 151.
Robson, 22, returned from 17 months out in June but had a relapse and did not play until Indian Wells last month.
The former British number one has slipped to 465 in the world.
She will use her protected ranking of 58 to gain direct entry into the French Open main draw in May.
British number one Johanna Konta, the world number 22, is in the main draw in Stuttgart and will play Anna-Lena Friedsam in the first round.
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.

The 26-year-old Gloucester back has been out since he damaged his left knee against Harlequins in January.
"It's been really tough and I've worked so hard at this and its coming on the way I would have hoped," he told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"I'm pretty sure I'll be pretty much fully fit by October and then we start to think about getting back out there."
He continued: "I'm up to about 90% of my top speed prior to injury which is not bad considering where I'm at and I'm just thinking if I can go up a percentage a week then I'll be in a good place."
May has scored seven tries in 19 appearances for England since his international debut in 2012, but his injury put him out of the Six Nations and the triumphant summer tour to Australia.

"I saw him at the weekend and he's just saying get fit as quick as you can I just assured him I'm doing everything I can."
Kaepernick has refused to stand for the national anthem in a protest against the plight of black people in the US.
A letter from Santa Clara police says Kaepernick's actions and statements are "false and insulting".
It accused the 49ers of failing to take any action to stop them.
Kaepernick's protest has stemmed from the racial tensions that increased across the nation this year amid a string of police killings and subsequent revenge attacks.
The player stayed seated during The Star-Spangled Banner at a game a week ago and on Thursday chose to kneel during the anthem.
The 28-year-old has said he will continue until he sees improvements in US race relations.
The Santa Clara Police Officers' Association letter, obtained by NBC Bay Area, said that Kaepernick had "made the allegation that police officers are getting paid to murder people".
It accused the 49ers of "allowing Kaepernick to wear exposed socks with the image of a pig wearing a police hat".
"The 49ers organisation has taken no action to stop or prevent Mr Kaepernick from continuing to make inaccurate, incorrect and inflammatory statements," it said.
"If the 49ers organisation fails to take action to stop this type of inappropriate workplace behaviour, it could result in officers choosing not to work at your facilities.
"Our members have the right to do their job in an environment free of unjustified and insulting attacks."
About 70 Santa Clara officers patrol Levi's Stadium during the home games.
Kaepernick on Thursday vowed to continue his protest, saying: "The message is that we have a lot of issues in this country that we need to deal with." Teammate Eric Reid joined him in the latest protest.
Seattle Seahawks player Jeremy Lane also sat on the bench during the anthem at a game in Oakland.
He later told the News Tribune: "I wasn't trying to say anything, just standing behind Kaepernick."
In the eye of a media storm
Kaepernick's protest has drawn strong reactions both in opposition and support.
An online petition demanding the NFL punish Kaepernick attracted more than 53,000 signatures by Friday.
But some veterans and military members tweeted their support for Kaepernick with the hashtag #VeteransForKaepernick.
The NFL says it encourages players to stand for the anthem but that it is not a requirement.
Although police officers cannot be made redundant, officers with 30 or more years' experience can be made to retire under existing regulations.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said it was "deeply worrying" 13 forces had decided to use them in some form.
Ministers have said savings can be made without affecting front-line policing.
Police budgets are being cut by 20% over the next four years, with a 4% cut in the first year and 5% the year after. But ministers insist these savings are achievable by cutting bureaucracy and more efficient use of resources, including forces sharing some back-office functions.
Fully sworn police officers are servants of the Crown, not employees, so they cannot be made redundant under existing laws.
However, forces are able to get permission to use a regulation known as A19 to make officers with 30 years' experience or more retire early.
Labour said details obtained under Freedom of Information showed 13 forces definitely intended to use this power and that 1,138 officers either have or will be forced to retire by 2015.
Another 986 officers could also be affected, the opposition have suggested, if other forces decided to proceed on the same basis.
"Some of these officers are the experts in their fields and internationally respected for what they do in the fight against crime," Ms Cooper said.
"The home secretary must realise that you cannot make 20% frontloaded cuts to the police without losing the very crime fighters we need. The home secretary is taking unacceptable risks with public safety and the continued fight against crime."
The Policing minister Nick Herbert said he did not accept the figures, adding it was the effectiveness of officers not their total numbers that counted.
In November the Home Office said 3,200 officers in England and Wales could be affected if all forces chose to enforce the compulsory retirement rule.
Home Office sources have said it is a matter for individual forces how staff are managed but they believe forces should be able to identify enough savings to ensure the budget cuts have no effect on the level of service the public receives.
One of the officers forced to retire under the A19 rule told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that it was a "crude tool" to reduce staff numbers.
"I am one of the people who turn up at the front line," said Sergeant Dave Hewitt, 48, who finishes with the West Midlands Police on April 1 after a career spanning 32 years.
"In the West Midlands it's affecting ranks from chief superintendent to police constable and it is affecting the top end where you've got a lot of experience, a lot of quality officers."
West Midlands Police told the programme the decision to use the A19 regulation had been difficult, but a spokesman said the number of officers affected by the rule was relatively small, amounting to 649 - out of a force of 8,500 officers - over four years.
About 95% of officers who reached 30 years' service retired anyway, he added, and the force would ensure safeguards were in place for succession planning and passing on key skills.
Last month, Labour said its research suggested at least 10,190 uniformed police officer posts were set to disappear by the end of next year in England and Wales as part of cuts.

Sydney's ASX 200 index closed 0.12% higher at 5,366.70.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept its benchmark repurchase rate at a five-year low of 6.5% after inflation kept within its target range.
Meanwhile questions continue to swirl around whether RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan will be reappointed after his term ends in September.
Earlier today, commodity prices rose by more than 20% from their January lows to climb into a so-called bull market.
The price of raw materials ranging from soybeans to copper all rose overnight according to the Bloomberg Commodity Index.
Police told BBC Hindi that the child was killed on the instructions of a "sorcerer" to "cure" a paralysed man.
The man's brother and sister have been arrested on charges of abducting and murdering the girl.
The alleged sorcerer told them it was the only way to undo "black magic" affecting their sibling, police said.
A 17-year-old boy has also been arrested for helping to abduct the girl, police said.
"There are a few more people who have abetted the crime. We are investigating it from all angles. So more arrests cannot be ruled out," senior police officer B Ramesh told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi.
The murder was discovered after residents discovered the body of the girl inside a bag. They also found materials which police believe were used to conduct "black magic" rituals.
As news about the incident spread, a mob gathered outside the brother and sister's home and began throwing stones. Police had to use force to disperse the gathering.
Kayleigh Green put Wales ahead but Julie Nelson headed Northern Ireland level before half-time.
Nadia Lawrence restored Wales' lead early and substitute Hayley Ladd sealed the win with 10 minutes remaining.
Wales' two games against Northern Ireland are part of their preparations for the upcoming Fifa Women's World Cup Qualifying campaign.
This was a non-capped fixture, after Jess Fishlock celebrated her 100th cap in style as Wales secured a comfortable 3-1 win over Northern Ireland on Wednesday.
Ronan Hughes' family had been critical of what they said was police "inaction" after the 17-year-old revealed what was going on.
Gerard and Teresa Hughes said a Nigerian gang demanded more than £3,000 from their son.
They then sent images of him to his friends on social media.
The family were accompanied during Thursday's meeting by Sinn Féin's Michelle O Neill and Francie Molloy.
Afterwards Ms O'Neill said there were lessons to be learned from how the case had been handled.
"Coming from such a tragic event there now appears be a step change in how such cases will be dealt with," she said.
"For instance Facebook previously waited three to four days following a complaint from a police service to remove a page. The Hughes family were given reassurances that any such pages will now be removed immediately following such a complaint.
"Further to this the family were informed that the PSNI have now issued guidance to all its officers as to how to deal with such cases and will be increasing training in this field.
"It is clear that this is a growing area for crime and needs to be focused on."
Ms O'Neill said the Policing Board had asked for details and the PSNI had also referred the case to the Police Ombudsmans office.
Robert Shepherd, of Tullibody, Clackmannanshire, is alleged to have failed to keep his 1954 Alvis Saracen vehicle under control in August 2015.
He is accused of allowing the vehicle on to the opposite carriageway of the B908 road near Alva, narrowly avoiding a collision.
Mr Shepherd pleaded not guilty to the charge at Alloa Sheriff Court.
It is alleged that he failed to stop the six-wheeled tank-like vehicle as it approached the River Devon road bridge in Clackmannanshire, in order to allow another vehicle on the bridge to cross over.
Mr Shepherd's solicitor, Mike Lowrie, asked for more time to prepare the defence case.
He said he had encountered "some difficulty finding an expert with some knowledge of the type of vehicle" to give evidence in Mr Shepherd's defence.
Sheriff Gillian Wade set the trial for 5 July.
The Saracen can carry a squad of eight soldiers plus a troop commander.
It was first built in 1952 for the Malayan Emergency and has a top speed of 45 miles per hour.
The 31-year-old former Leicester and England forward has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Rams.
"He's a proven goalscorer at Championship level and has a great deal of experience to bring to the table," Derby manager Steve McClaren said.
Nugent, who began his career with Bury in 2003 before joining Preston, won his sole international cap in 2007.
He came on as a substitute against Andorra in a Euro 2008 qualifier, during McClaren's spell in charge of the national team, and scored a goal in a 3-0 victory.
The Rams tried to sign Nugent 10 years ago but he opted instead for a £6m move to Portsmouth.
After four years with Leicester, he joined Middlesbrough in August 2015 and has since made 42 league appearances, scoring eight goals.

Polling stations across the county closed at 22:00 BST for voting for a third of seats for Exeter City Council and Plymouth's unitary city council.
The counts are due to be held on Friday and results expected later in the day. Both cities are currently controlled by the Labour Party.
People across Devon also voted in the European elections, with results expected to be announced on Sunday.
The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said about 170 men are on open-ended sentences at the jail near Devizes.
A lack of funding has led to the withdrawal of mandatory courses those prisoners are required to undertake in order to qualify for a parole hearing.
The IMB said the matter is causing "a destabilising influence in the prison".
Its report claimed the cost of keeping each prisoner who is over tariff at the Category C jail amounts to more than £20,500 per annum.
Inspectors advised the government to implement a "finite action plan" to address the needs of prisoners affected which must include funding of courses to "reduce the wait times, and increase the number of parole boards".
The report also recommended a national database to identify prisons which deliver interventions and match prisoners to appropriate courses.
However, the Ministry of Justice said those who remain in custody do so because the independent parole board "has assessed them as posing an unacceptable risk to the public".
The Criminal Justice Act 2003 introduced indeterminate sentencing for public protection for serious sexual and violent offenders.
The Prison Reform Trust said: "A lack of resources means that prisoners are unable to prove their reduced risk and are waiting longer and longer for a parole decision, with no means of knowing when, or if, they will be released.
"To right this wrong would not only save over £40m a year but should also be done on grounds of simple humanity."
Erlestoke Prison did not wish to comment on the report.
HMP Erlestoke houses about 500 men and specialises in rehabilitating long-term prisoners and preparing them for release.
Gilmour, 23, underwent surgery on a knee injury after failing to reach the last 16 at the Olympics in Rio.
"I'm really quite excited," she said of Wong's appointment. "It will be a nice starting point for me.
"I'm hoping to build my training back up in December and I think he is going to come across in January to start."
Wong, who has been women's singles coach to the Badminton Association of Malaysia, is known to the Scottish number one.
"I didn't really know that I knew Tat Meng Wong, but I do," Gilmour, who is 19 in the world rankings, told BBC Scotland.
"He coached against me in the final of the Belgian Open last year.
"He was not shy in pointing out what he thought I should work on.
"I lost to his player, so he knows what he's talking about."
Gilmour's injury means she will miss the Scottish Open Grand Prix, which starts on Wednesday at Glasgow's Emirates Arena.
She is disappointed to miss her home event for the first time since making her debut at the age of 15.
However, she explained that the operation was a necessity after picking up the injury at the Australian Open in May.
"My whole preparation for Rio was hampered by that," she said. "I couldn't prepare as perfectly as I would have hoped.
"With the physio team at UK Sport and GB Badminton, I managed to get on to the court in Rio and it was just about getting through that.
"I went on holiday and came back and tried to get back into training and it hadn't improved at all.
"I had the surgery and we are six weeks from that now and I am starting to get back on to the court.
"So to hit the ground running with a new fresh coach is going to be really important to me."
Bland, 44, made a birdie from shallow water at the 11th and scored an eagle on the 13th as he moved into contention for a career first European Tour title.
He and Spain's Garcia, playing in Europe for the first time since he won the Masters, are 13 under par overall.
Sweden's Joakim Lagergren, who shared the overnight lead, is one shot behind.
"I hit some really good shots out there and I hit a couple of scrappy ones coming in but my short game saved me," Bland said.
"I got my feet wet and holed a second shot into 13. So yeah, kind of ran pretty much into everything."
Garcia said: "It's nice but it doesn't mean that it's finished. Still we have a long day tomorrow. We've got to go out there, play well again and see if we can pull it off."
Time to Change Wales, started in 2012 to raise mental health awareness among adults, will run a young people's programme.
It will initially work with pupils, teachers and parents at nine schools, using Big Lottery funding.
Programme manager Lowri Wyn Jones said it was important to tackle mental health "stigma" at a young age.
One in 10 young people will experience a mental health problem, Time to Change Wales said, with the associated stigma and discrimination often making life "even harder".
The scheme will pilot in three schools in south Wales - Blackwood Comprehensive, Mountain Ash Comprehensive, and Ysgol Gyfun Cymer Rhondda - with others in mid and north Wales to follow.
It will feature "young champions" - people with experience of mental health problems who will share their stories - and resources to help people talk about mental health.
Ms Wyn Jones, said: "Mental ill health is something that can affect all of us, regardless of how old you are, which is why it's so important to start challenging the stigma associated with it from an early age.
"We're positive that, by working closely with schools across Wales, we can help young people develop the confidence to talk more openly about mental health, whether at school, with friends or at home."
Time to Change Wales champion Laura Moulding, 20, from Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent, has lived with severe depression with psychotic symptoms for as long as she can remember.
At age seven or eight, she realise hearing voices was not something everyone experienced, but she kept it a secret and her mental health got worse.
She said: "I was 15 when I finally told my mum about my mental health. Comparing my life all those years ago to now, I can honestly say that talking saved me.
"I was afraid to speak up before. Nowadays, I am grateful to have support from my family, boyfriend and friends."
Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said: "I would encourage young people to seek help and talk with someone they trust, whether it's a member of the family, a friend, a counsellor or a trusted teacher.
"Where there are mental health issues it is really important to get help early, to help prevent problems from escalating."
The start of the campaign will be marked by a special assembly at Blackwood Comprehensive School on Wednesday morning, with a series of workshops for Year 9 pupils.
The stories of women running a gauntlet of sexual assault by young men have tapped into society's deepest fears.
In just the city of Cologne, more than 500 cases of violence have been recorded, although not all were sexual attacks.
The consensus in favour of accepting 1.1 million refugees was already fraying. Now the country is deeply uneasy and sharply divided.
"Cologne has changed everything," said Volker Bouffier, vice-president of Chancellor Angela Merkel's centre-right CDU party. "People are now doubting."
Women describe 'terrible' assaults
Cologne mayor's 'code of conduct' attacked
The search for answers
What happened during the first hours of 2016 is likely to have a profound impact on the rest of Europe.
Certainly the boldness of the assaults and the sense of a powerless state will haunt the victims, but what has also been lost is trust - the essential glue in any society.
There is now a widely held suspicion that the political elite is not being candid with the German public.
There was the inexplicably bland initial police report describing the evening in Cologne as a "relaxed atmosphere. Celebrations largely peaceful". It was on social media that news of the assaults first seeped out.
When the Cologne police chief said that many of the young men who had been outside the train station that night had been of North African or Middle Eastern origin, politicians and officials were quick to say they were not drawn from the migrants who in recent months had sought asylum in Germany.
It took the better part of a week to acknowledge that asylum seekers were among the suspects.
The police certainly knew the reality of who had been on the streets. On the night some young men had shown police their asylum documents.
An internal police report describes a man telling the police: "I am Syrian. You have to treat me kindly. Mrs Merkel invited me".
Certainly there is much that remains to be explained. Was this a co-ordinated event and, if so, who was behind it?
The German justice minister believes it was organised, but for what purpose? Or was it just a gathering sparked by social media?
It is also true that large public events like Oktoberfest have been marked by incidents of sexual assault without any migrants being present.
Although the figures are not up to date, it does not appear so far that the crime rate among asylum seekers is higher than among similar groups in the native population.
What has fuelled the sense of crisis is the suspicion - now widely held - that the German establishment is not telling the truth.
The German public-service broadcaster ZDF did not mention the incidents in Cologne in its broadcast until last Tuesday, four days after the attacks.
The broadcaster has now admitted it was a "clear misjudgement" and says that since then, it has been "over-whelmed with hate and anger".
In parts of social media the idea of a "lying press" has taken root.
Some German papers are quoting police sources saying they are under orders not to report crimes involving refugees.
Many Muslims have spoken out against the assaults, but that has not stopped the main euro-sceptic party Alternativ fuer Deutschland warning against the disintegration of German culture.
In the party's view, Angela Merkel has become a danger and Germany is being asked to compromise its basic values.
The mayor of Cologne suggested it would be wise in future if women "kept men at arm's length".
She insists her words were misunderstood. But there have been echoes elsewhere in Europe.
The Viennese police chief Gerhard Pursti said that "women should in general not go into the streets alone in Vienna."
This has caused an outcry, with women complaining that they are being asked to change their behaviour.
Many of them feel torn; they are outraged but they don't want to lend any support to racist groups.
Certainly Angela Merkel was quick to understand that these assaults threatened her whole refugee policy.
Very early on in the crisis she said that "women's feeling of being completely defenceless is intolerable, also to me personally". She went on to say that "when crimes are committed, there must be consequences."
The German government is examining changing the law to make it easier to deport those convicted of sexual assault but it is unclear how a refugee who has come from Syria could be deported back there.
So pressure will build on Mrs Merkel to limit the numbers of refugees arriving. Already some of her political allies have demanded that.
She has resisted but her political authority has been weakened by these events.
In the short term, she has enough political capital to withstand the pressure but she will face further tests in the spring.
There are three state elections and members of her party will watch closely how the CDU fares.
And then, of course, the question is whether the warmer weather will increase the numbers arriving.
Chancellor Merkel's long-stated belief is that migration is not a German problem, but a European one.
It is not seen that way in parts of Eastern and Central Europe.
An EU plan to implement quotas, to relocate refugees across the member states, has failed so far. Only a few hundred refugees have actually been moved.
Mrs Merkel has placed a huge bet on Turkey helping to stem the flow of migrants in exchange for financial help and granting people from Turkey visa-free travel in parts of Europe.
This week, senior European officials could not disguise their frustration with Turkey; they have seen little evidence of migrants being turned around at the Turkish border.
Mrs Merkel has said that the passport-free zone, guaranteed by the Schengen agreement, can only work "if there is joint responsibility for protecting the external borders".
It is hard to see how that will happen and, in any event, what is being talked about is an orderly system of registering those who qualify for asylum. It is not about reducing numbers.
In the meantime checkpoints, border patrols and fences are springing up in different parts of Europe.
Only this week border identity checks were introduced on the Oresund Bridge linking Sweden and Denmark.
It is the first time since 1958 that there have been border controls between the two countries.
In the short term, both Brussels and the European establishment portray these measures as temporary.
Certainly Europe's leaders will do all in their power to defend the Schengen guarantee of freedom of movement, a key pillar of European integration but the migrant crisis is not receding.
Even in mid-winter, 3,000-4,000 migrants are arriving each day in Germany.
So already in these early days of 2016 the debate about the wisdom of sanctioning large-scale migration in Europe has been re-kindled.
Mrs Merkel herself - in the past - has questioned whether integration is working. Once again there are fears of parallel societies taking root with different cultural rules.
You can sometimes feel that in the banlieues around Paris or in parts of Brussels. But then in parts of London, you see groups of young people hanging out together - regardless of background or creed.
The question for Germany is not just how to protect women without curtailing their lives but how to restore trust with ordinary Germans that they are being told the truth.
It is a question that resonates across Europe. It is hard to think of a series of events so likely to feed the narrative of Europe's anti-establishment and populist parties that an elite is misleading the people.

Commentaries will appear here when confirmed.
Emergency services were called to the scene at Ninewells Hospital at about 10:10.
It is thought the man was injured after falling about three storeys.
A spokeswoman for NHS Tayside confirmed there had been "an incident" at the hospital, but declined to comment further on grounds of patient confidentiality.
Rachid Alioui scored with a terrific shot from 25 yards to earn the win for Morocco and their coach Herve Renard, who led the Ivorians to the 2015 title.
Ivory Coast needed a win to go through but gave a listless performance, creating only two chances of note.
Wilfried Zaha shot weakly from 12 yards, while Salomon Kalou's header from a tight angle clipped a post.
The Elephants lacked urgency in their play and go home after appearing not to put up a fight.
Even after going behind they were unable to cause the organised and disciplined Morocco defence any problems.
Morocco went into the game knowing that a draw was very likely to be enough for them to qualify from Group C and their game plan from the start was to stay compact and hit on the counter-attack.
It served to frustrate their opponents, who opted for the long-ball approach on a shocking pitch and failed to find any penetration.
Morocco could have added a second on the counter-attack but 19-year-old full-back Hamza Mendyl shot into the side netting after running half the length of the pitch.
They will play the winner of Group D in the last eight on Sunday.
DR Congo are also through from Group C, finishing top of the table after beating Togo 3-1.

They will appear with the ITV police drama's stars David Tennant and Olivia Colman for a story about a serious sexual assault.
Scriptwriter Chris Chibnall said it will mark the show's "final chapter".
"We have one last story to tell featuring familiar faces and new characters," he said.
"I hope it's a compelling and emotional farewell to a world and show that means so much to me."
After Broadchurch ends, Chibnall will be moving to replace Steven Moffat as the head writer and executive producer for BBC One's Doctor Who.
ITV has not yet revealed who Hesmondhalgh and Higson will play but filming will begin this summer on the eight-part police drama series in Dorset.
Other new members of the cast will include Mistresses star Sarah Parish and Murdered by My Boyfriend Bafta-winner Georgina Campbell.
Higson, who wrote and appeared in the hugely successful comedy sketch series The Fast Show, has also featured in the ITV drama Jekyll and Hyde, which failed to hit the mark with critics or viewers.
But, said Higson on Twitter, the lack of a second series of that show has allowed him to take on Broadchurch.
"The one good thing to come out of ITV not making another Jekyll and Hyde is that I have time to do other things, like acting in Broadchurch," he said.
"Really looking forward to joining the team."
Hesmondhalgh is best known for formerly playing transgender character Hayley Cropper on long-running soap Coronation Street. She left the series in 2014 after a tear-jerker storyline, which saw Hayley die of cancer.
Series stalwarts Jodie Whittaker and Andrew Buchan will return as Beth and Mark Latimer. Arthur Darvill will again be playing local vicar Paul Coates and Carolyn Pickles will reprise her role as newspaper editor Maggie Radcliffe, along with Adam Wilson as Ellie's son Tom.
Broadchurch had audiences gripped when it launched in April 2013, with a peak audience of 8.9 million viewers.
The drama about the death of an 11-year-old boy also won critical acclaim, along with Bafta and RTS awards.
A second series was shown in January 2015, with the first episode pulling in a healthy eight million viewers but a US version of the series, starring David Tennant, was cancelled after its first series.
The share sale by the troubled German bank is part of a wider shake-up.
The bank will partially float its asset management business and retain Postbank - the retail banking business it had been expected to sell.
Deutsche will be reorganised around three divisions: private banking and wealth management; asset management; and corporate and investment banking.
Germany's biggest bank is trying to reshape itself after grappling with huge losses and a 15bn euro legal bill imposed by regulators since 2012.
In December, Deutsche Bank said it had agreed a $7.2bn (£5.9bn) payment to US authorities to settle an investigation into mortgage-backed securities.
The sale of residential mortgage-backed securities played a significant role in triggering the 2008 financial crisis.
The rights issue will be launched on 20 March in a bid to repair its balance sheet.
Peter Hahn at the London Institute of Banking and Finance said it was the first capital raising from Deutsche since it had drawn a line under many of its legacy issues.
"The atmosphere for banks has got much more positive in the last several months," Mr Hahn told the BBC. Deutsche Bank shares have risen 44% in the last six months, for example.
But there were still question marks over whether its investors would "put money in one more time", he said.
Deutsche will also promote chief finance officer Marcus Schenck and retail banking boss Christian Sewing to become co-deputy chief executives under chief executive John Cryan.
Mr Schenck will also become co-head of the investment bank alongside Garth Ritchie, who runs the bank's bond and equities trading activities.
Jeffrey Urwin, head of corporate and investment banking, will step down, and a new chief finance officer will be sought.
Deutsche aims to cut costs from 24.1bn euros to 22bn euros by 2018, as well as resume paying a "competitive dividend" to shareholders.
Anglesey councillors granted outline planning permission for a 500-berth marina, despite 4,000 people having signed protest petitions.
Objectors are concerned about the impact on Newry beach and say the homes and a bigger marina are not needed.
Protesters packed the public gallery of the council chamber in Llangefni.
The plans, put forward as a joint venture between Stena Line and the Conygar Investment Company, were voted through with seven votes in favour and none against.
The proposals, which have been adapted in response to initial complaints from locals about loss of views, include:
It is understood 700 jobs will be created by the new marina and its construction.
Councillor John Chorlton voted in favour of the plans.
He said: "Holyhead has to reinvent itself and look at the bigger picture.
"What's the future for our youngsters?"
Mr Chorlton said that "every major development near Holyhead" had been opposed by people who were opposed to development if it was in their locality.
He looked to the public gallery and commented: "You can look over the roofs of the houses.
"If you carry on this way, there won't be a future for Holyhead. You're putting a gate on the Four Mile Bridge and saying 'don't come here, we're all dead'!"
Anglesey council received about 370 individual letters of objection, together with eight petitions containing some 4,170 names.
One letter of support had been submitted at the time the council report into the development was written.
Councillor J Arwel Roberts told the committee: "I can't support this plan.
"It's a private company coming in for its own gain. Yes I want to see jobs and investment in Holyhead and, yes, Holyhead has employment problems.
"So it's with a heavy heart that I say I can't support this. To take the Newry Beach area away from residents is not acceptable."
Councillor Robert Llewelyn Jones, who represents part of the area where the new marina will be built but is not a member of the committee and was not able to vote, told the committee: "The developer is asking for permission to take away the only public seafront that Holyhead has.
"If you've got a promenade, you've got to have a view. That will disappear.
"The flats and apartments will have a view, and I'm sure they'll be worth a lot of money, though they'll be too expensive for local people of course."
Robert Ware, chief executive of Conygar, said he was delighted that the council had granted planning permission for the marina development.
"It has been a massive effort by all concerned and this exciting and ambitious regeneration scheme which should bring significant benefits to the town and area can now move forward with confidence," he said.
Michael McGrath, area director for Stena Line, said: "The proposed marina development at Holyhead is not only an important facility for the people of Holyhead and surrounding area but it also represents a significant opportunity to help drive future economic prosperity across the region with the provision of one of the most innovative mixed-use marinas in the UK."
Editorials call the unauthorised fireworks display on Sunday a "manmade disaster" that should never happen again.
Even as papers call for a strict probe, they have asked authorities to focus on those affected by the tragedy.
The priority is to treat the injured and to console families, they say.
'Wounds of separation'
The headline of Malayalam daily Mathrubhumi's editorial reads "Stop this play with fire", calling for temples to reconsider holding similar fireworks displays.
"Kerala is weeping over wounds of separation that will never dry," it says.
"What happened was a manmade disaster that should never have happened… This [investigation] should not be ever allowed to become a farce."
Another prominent Malayalam daily Malayala Manorama calls for a comprehensive investigation into the people responsible for "this accident that was asked for".
"Yesterday's tragedy... [proves] that we have not learned any lessons from the 380 fireworks-related incidents that have destroyed over 500 lives in the last ten years."
'No point in blame game'
Vernacular daily Deshabhimani says in the headline of its editorial: "Should not repeat this".
The paper says there are lots of things to be done before discussions on avoiding similar mishaps.
"We have to reassure families affected by this disaster. We have to console those who have lost closed ones. We have to ensure the best possible treatment for the injured. We have to identify every dead body."
The Deepika newspaper advises against bringing politics into the discussion, especially as the state is set to hold assembly elections next month.
"There is no point of a blame game after an accident has taken place. Politics will mix with this tragedy that happened to take place as Kerala is set to enter election fever."
'Greed to win prizes'
The temple administration have also come under the line of fire of newspapers from the rest of the country.
Prominent English-language The Hindu daily describes the accident as a result of "gross negligence" and a "reckless disregard for the safety of others".
"Such negligence cannot be treated as a mere mistake as we have witnessed many tragedies at religious gatherings previously," adds Hindi daily Jansatta.
Asking for a thorough inquiry and stringent punishment, Hindi daily Dainik Jagran urges religious leaders to teach "patience and discipline" to their followers.
The tragedy is the result of "greed to win prizes" and subsequent "power show off" between two local contractors, says Hindi daily Amar Ujala.
"Political parties must refrain from trying to extract electoral capital from the tragedy in poll-bound Kerala - it is important that the truth is not crowded out by the noise," notes The Hindu.

Saturday's operation was carried out by joint US and Yemeni special forces in the southern Shabwa region.
US President Barack Obama condemned the "barbaric murder" of both hostages.
They were being held by militants from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), regarded by the US as one of the deadliest offshoots of al-Qaeda.
The group is based in eastern Yemen and has built up support amid the unrest which has beset the impoverished country since the overthrow of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2011.
This is America's third failed hostage rescue mission in the Middle East in less than six months.
In July its Special Operations commandos launched a raid on an Islamic State hideout near Raqqa in Syria in a bid to free James Foley and other US and British hostages. They were too late: the men had been moved just days earlier.
The same thing happened in November with Luke Somers in Yemen. US operatives found the cave in a remote province where al-Qaeda had been hiding him and other hostages. They freed a number of captives but once again, the westerners had been moved only days before.
In this latest raid in Yemen their intelligence was accurate. They correctly located where Luke Somers was being held. But once his captors were aware they were being attacked they killed both him and Pierre Korkie proving that hostage rescues are notoriously risky and have only a limited chance of success.
President Obama said he authorised the raid to rescue Mr Somers and other hostages held in the same location.
He said information had "indicated that Luke's life was in imminent danger".
Both Mr Somers and Mr Korkie were "murdered [by] terrorists during the rescue operation", Mr Obama said.
He offered his "thoughts and prayers" to Mr Korkie's family, saying: "Their despair and sorrow at this time are beyond words".
A charity working with Mr Korkie said that they had expected his release on Sunday, and that the US rescue attempt had "destroyed everything".
A number of militants were also killed in the operation.
Senior US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AP news agency that they believed both men were shot by their captors as the raid unfolded, and eventually died of their injuries.
Both hostages were alive when US forces rescued them, pulling them onto a plane that flew to a nearby US naval ship, officials said.
However, Mr Korkie is believed to have died during the flight, while Mr Somers died on the USS Makin Island, they added.
A spokesman for South Africa's Department of International Relations told local media: "We were informed this morning that Mr Pierre Korkie was killed in an operation by American forces to rescue hostages, that he was caught in the crossfire."
US special forces were in possession of Mr Korkie's body, which would be repatriated to South Africa, spokesman Nelson Kgwete added.
Mr Somers was born in Britain and UK relatives have been mourning his death in Kent.
His step-mother, Penny Bearman, told the BBC that he was "very much loved" by people in Yemen.
"Luke was a peace-loving person who cared for the Yemeni people and the Yemeni struggle," she said, speaking from Deal. "It is a tragedy that his life should end in this way."
A friend of Mr Somers, who did not wish to be named, described him as "one of the kindest and most dedicated people to Yemen I have ever met".
"He didn't concern himself with the politics of it or the important people," she told the BBC.
Instead, he spent "every waking hour with the neighbours and with youth activists, just trying to get the voice of the everyday Yemeni person out to the world."
Meanwhile a charity working with Mr Korkie said that it was saddened by his death.
"Pierre Korkie was very sick - he had a hernia," Gift of the Givers' Yemen project director Anas Hamati told the BBC's Newshour.
Mediators had been working on an "arrangement to take him out", he said, adding: "His passport was ready, everything was ready.
"In that time the attack happened by US special forces in Yemen and that has destroyed everything."
Mr Korkie was abducted with his wife Yolande in May last year in Yemen's second city, Taiz.
She was freed on 10 January without ransom and returned to South Africa.
"The psychological and emotional devastation to Yolande and her family will be compounded by the knowledge that Pierre was to be released by al-Qaeda tomorrow," the charity said in a statement.
Mr Somers, who was kidnapped in Yemen in 2013, appeared in a video this week appealing for help.
The footage showed a member of AQAP threatening to kill him unless unspecified demands were met.
Mr Somers worked as a journalist and photographer for local news organisations. His material appeared on international news outlets, including the BBC News website.
22 August 2013
With widespread attention very recently focusing on embassy closures and security threats, I strongly feel that such a glimpse as this photo essay provides can serve to balance such attention with the true-to-life interests of Yemen's citizens.
Yemen isn't the most difficult place to live in. Always something to make you smile, you just sometimes have to step outside and find it. I actually feel pretty fortunate, as I'm the only foreigner I know of working directly and regularly in connection with the National Dialogue Conference. But soon enough, I need to depart and spend some time with my mom!
I'm sure I will return to the Middle East - and with regards to Yemen, it's pretty much a must. It's an emptying thought, imaging rooting yourself so firmly in a place, only to never return. So return I should, return I must.
Profile: Luke Somers
Mr Somers was kidnapped outside a supermarket in the Yemeni capital Sana'a in September 2013.
"Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time," a BBC spokesperson said on Saturday.
UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond condemned AQAP for the killing of both hostages.
"Luke had close links with the UK and his family have spoken about Luke's life and his work, and that is how he should be remembered," he said.
He told the BBC the UK would not pay kidnap ransoms for its subjects.
"We know from our own intelligence that hostage takers go for hostages of nationalities where they believe ransoms will be paid. So paying ransoms makes your citizens more at risk of kidnap than not paying ransoms."
Another attempt to rescue Mr Somers last month had failed.
Bill Leak, who created some of Australia's most recognisable and inflammatory cartoons, has died of a suspected heart attack in hospital. He was 61.
Last year, his caricature of an indigenous man with a beer can who could not remember his son's name was labelled "disgusting" and "discriminatory" by Aboriginal leaders. The artist had also faced death threats and was forced to move out of his home after publishing an image of the Prophet Muhammad following the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.
"[He was] a giant in his field of cartooning and portraiture and a towering figure for more than two decades," said Paul Whittaker, editor-in-chief of The Australian newspaper, where Mr Leak worked.
The cartoonist was born in Adelaide but raised near Sydney, where he trained at the Julian Ashton Art School in the city's historic Rocks district. He would later travel to Europe to soak up the region's art, and it was in the early 1980s that he got his big break with The Bulletin magazine.
"I was the first person to get him to draw cartoons [and] his whole life changed," explained Lindsay Foyle, a cartoonist and cartoon historian.
"He had terrific control over the pen. He also had a mind which seemed uncontrollable. It would go in any direction and he was totally unpredictable, so it was combination of his drawing skills and his quirky sense of humour," Mr Foyle told the BBC.
"I don't think Bill was ever surprised about the controversy he caused. He enjoyed it and on many occasions tailored his cartoons to cause a stink. Bill enjoyed being in the limelight."
Mr Leak won nine Walkley awards that recognise journalistic excellence in Australia, and had worked for Rupert Murdoch's News Corp Australia newspapers since 1994.
His distinctive style won many fans, but he often drew intense criticism for his views - particularly in recent years. Last year's depiction of the indigenous man sparked a complaint to Australia's Human Rights Commission, with a claim it had violated a controversial race discrimination law.
One indigenous advocacy group at the time called the "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."
Tributes on social media have praised his fearlessness, lamenting the loss of an artist who was "supremely talented, principled, brave, witty & decent", and "a true warrior for freedom of speech".
Others, though, had far more brutal assessments. Several posts after his death did not just attack Mr Leak's views, but the cartoonist personally - demonstrating how polarising he had become within sections of the community. Others swiftly condemned the critical posts.
Those close to Mr Leak say while he made a career rattling cages, an avalanche of criticism of his work in recent years had become too heavy a burden.
"Basically he was hounded to his death. He's had the most incredibly stressful couple of years," Spectator Australia editor and long-time friend Rowan Dean told the BBC.
"There were death threats after he did a cartoon that showed the Prophet Muhammad, which led to him having to move his house. He was Australia's version of Salman Rushdie for a while."
"He did a very poignant but accurate cartoon about Indigenous Australians, disadvantage and the lack of parenting amongst Indigenous Australians and for that he was hounded mercilessly by our Australian Human Rights Commission. The pressure that he was under was just enormous."
Defending his cartoon at the time, Mr Leak wrote: "I was trying to say that if you think things are pretty crook for the children locked up in the Northern Territory's Don Dale Youth Detention Centre, you should have a look at the homes they came from."
Many of his fellow cartoonists share the thought that Mr Leak was pilloried to the point of submission.
Mark Tippett, a Sydney-based caricature artist, told the BBC that his death was a terrible reminder of the battles they often face.
"What do we do as satirists if we can't satire anymore?" he asked. "Do we have to ask permission before we can put pen to paper? It just can't go on this way. It [his death] makes us more defiant. We can't go into a shell."
"What he was trying to do is make his messages as simplistic as possible for many people to understand. His style would appeal to the masses because it was so clean and recognisable. You just don't see that every day."
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has remembered his friend of more than 30 years.
"I can't believe that Bill Leak is dead," Mr Turnbull posted on Facebook. "Who had more life, more energy than him? So many more cartoons to draw, paintings to paint, politicians to satirise."
Indigenous leader Warren Mundine said Mr Leak "was just an incredible cartoonist". He told the Australian Broadcasting Corp: "I'm just in shock. I was only with him the other night at his book launch and had a beer with him."
Left behind are the cartoonist's wife Goong, his stepdaughter Tasha and his sons Johannes and Jasper.
His friends have remember a gifted man.
"Bill was an absolute genius," said Mr Dean. "Here was a man who was one of Australia's greatest political talents. Probably one of the world's greatest satirists, certainly a brilliant cartoonist and also a brilliant portrait painter."
Eclipsed is a hard-hitting drama about women captured and raped by a Liberian rebel officer.
The sell-out play marked the 12 Years a Slave and Star Wars star's stage debut when opening earlier this year.
Gurira, who plays Michonne in huge TV hit The Walking Dead, is the award-winning writer of four plays.
BBC Entertainment Live: News updates
Eclipsed is considered notable as a rare production written by a woman to get a spot on Broadway.
There has been only one other this current season, an adaptation of Emile Zola's horror story Therese Raquin, written by the British playwright Helen Edmundson.
Eclipsed also stands out for dealing with the difficult subject matter of rape in Africa.
The last play to cover the issue was Ruined in 2009, although it was controversially not granted a Broadway run despite its success.
Oskar Eustis, the artistic director of the off-Broadway Public Theatre, where Eclipsed is currently running, told the New York Times he hoped its main stage run would "break a barrier that will stay broken".
"It's an incredibly emotional play and by the end very deeply touching and harrowing, and yet Danai has written it so beautifully it ultimately feels life-affirming, about how women in horrible circumstances are able to find their own agency."
Zimbabwean-American Gurira's other plays are In the Continuum, The Convert and Familiar, which also deal with female identity and race.
Nyong'o, who was born in Mexico and raised in Kenya, became an overnight star with her performance in 12 Years a Slave, winning last year's best supporting actress Academy Award.
They are part of an ethnically diverse production team which African-American producer Stephen Byrd says is also rare.
"There's a market out there that has not really been addressed with plays that can draw a cross-section of people to theatre," Byrd said.
"It's going to be an interesting season, and it's very healthy for Broadway."
Eclipsed finishes at the Public Theatre on 29 November and begins previews at Broadway's John Golden Theatre on 23 February, Hollywood Reporter said.
Its official opening will be on 6 March.
Laurence Rossignol appeared on French TV criticising fashion brands that market hijabs as "irresponsible".
She later said using the word "negro" had been a mistake, but insisted she had only used it in connection with the works of an 18th Century thinker.
Thousands have signed a petition for her to resign.
Ms Rossignol told Buzzfeed the word "negro" was no longer used except to refer to Baron de Montesquieu's writings on slavery.
But she admitted to AFP news agency that she had not foreseen the wider reaction and said the word should not be used "even when it is authorised in reference to slavery".
Some social media users focused on this aspect of her comments. They quoted a government anti-racism message to mock Ms Rossignol, who was a founder of the French anti-racism group SOS Racisme.
Others expressed outrage over Ms Rossignol's portrayal of women wearing the headscarf as "consenting slaves".
The headscarf has long been a vexed issue in France, which defines itself as a secular society.
France has banned both teachers and pupils from wearing the headscarf in state schools, and public servants are also prohibited from wearing religious symbols.
It has also banned the full face veil, known as the niqab, under legislation that says nobody in a public space can wear clothing intended to conceal the face.
Twitter user Bembelly asked whether Ms Rossignol thought well-known headscarf-wearing anti-radicalisation activist Latifa Ibn Ziaten should be considered a "consenting slave".
Ms Ibn Ziaten began campaigning against radicalisation after her son Imad - a soldier - was killed by jihadist gunman Mohamed Merah in 2012.
On Tuesday she received a "Women of Courage" award presented by US Secretary of State John Kerry in Washington. Earlier this month she also received the French Legion of Honour medal from President Francois Hollande.
Others asked the same question with reference to headscarf-wearing Emirati fighter pilot Mariam al-Mansouri.
Some posters said Ms Rossignol's comments amounted to "state racism", while yet others expressed surprise that arguments were still raging over what women choose to wear.
Many social media users posted under the hashtag #rossignoldemission - "Rossignol resignation" - and a petition calling on her to step down gained thousands of signatures.
Ms Rossignol had been appearing on BFMTV to discuss the growing Islamic fashion market (in French), worth about $230bn according to some estimates.
She said the growing influence of a hard-line or "salafist" version of Islam in some communities in France meant that women were being seen less and less frequently on the street and in cafes.
Developing Islamic fashion products for the Western market was "irresponsible", she said, because it puts Muslim women who are being pressurised to dress more modestly "in a position where they have to wear it".
As the row grew, a former French fashion mogul, Pierre Berge, lent the embattled French minister his support.
Mr Berge told Europe 1 radio station that brands developing clothing aimed at Muslim women were taking part in the "enslavement of women".
He said fashion existed to "give women their freedom", not to collaborate with a "dictatorship" that he said sought to "hide women and make them live a hidden life".
"Renounce the money and have some principles," he said.
He donned tights, shorts and trainers to pound the pavements in Willesden Green, north London, for a 17-minute run.
The royal drew double-takes from motorists as he stepped out with young people and volunteers from the Running Charity.
The charity helps young people develop life skills through sport.
Programme officer Claude Umuhire, 26, took the runners, including a Met Police protection officer, through a strenuous warm-up session then led the more gentle run.
He said about Harry: "He didn't find any of it hard, I think he's been training just for today.
"He found everything easy,
"I tried to get him in the warm-up but he did pretty well, he kept giving me looks though every time I said five squats."
Despite apparently coping well with the run, the Prince suggested he might prefer a lighter form of exercise on future visits.
When he left, he referred to a pool table in the charity's HQ and joked: "Next time I will come and play pool maybe".
He added: "There was a woman who was pulling out of her driveway then she realised who he was and she drove in front of us and started taking pictures of him.
"And as we were leaving, there was a guy at the traffic lights who looked across and did a double take - the joy in his face it was so funny, his eyes just opened up, he was so happy."
The charity is working with some of the residents from a hostel founded by the Depaul charity.
The order comes from NetJets - a private aviation specialist controlled by famous investor Warren Buffet.
It is for at least 100 Challenger Jets worth $2bn (£1.3bn) minimum and potentially worth $7bn (£4.5bn).
That makes it the biggest order in Bombardier's history and in the history of private aviation.
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said the news meant a "significant and welcome boost to the local economy".
"Bombardier's agreement with NetJet is a tremendous endorsement of the technological expertise and capability available in Northern Ireland and signals the continued success of this multinational corporation," she said.
"Invest NI has been working closely with Bombardier and other aerospace companies to support growth and ensure that the sector remains internationally competitive.
"The Northern Ireland Advanced Composites and Engineering Centre (NIACE), which opened earlier this year, will help provide such growth opportunities and help to advance the development of innovative technologies across a range of industries."
A spokesperson for Bombardier, Belfast, said it was the largest business aircraft sale in the company's history.
News of the order was "very welcome" and represented "a huge vote of confidence in Bombardier, our employees and the Challenger aircraft family", the spokesperson said.
"Bombardier leads the business aircraft market in terms of sales revenues, and through our operations in Belfast, the UK plays a major role in this sector.
"Bombardier in Belfast is responsible for the design and manufacture of the centre fuselage and engine nacelles for the Challenger 605 aircraft, and the centre fuselage for the Challenger 300 business jet. The order will help to sustain jobs in our Northern Ireland operations."
Bombardier is the biggest manufacturing firm in Northern Ireland employing around 5,000 people across four facilities.
The company recently bought a 29-acre site in Newtownabbey where it plans to consolidate some parts of its operations.
Some 48 students, from across the country and Europe, embarked on the five-year degree in veterinary medicine and science at the University of Surrey earlier this week.
Their base, the £45m School of Veterinary Medicine - one of eight in the UK - is still under construction.
Work began earlier this year and is due to be completed in summer 2015.
Once finished, a university spokeswoman said it would be made up of three state-of-the art new buildings, a pathology facility, an anatomy laboratory, and a clinical skills centre for large and small animals.
Wolfgang Schaeuble visited Athens on Thursday amid massive police security.
During the visit he discouraged talk of Greece receiving a second write-off on its public debt owed to eurozone governments through bailout loans.
Deeply unpopular in Greece, Mr Schaeuble is viewed as the enforcer of the country's harsh austerity measures.
"I am very impressed by what Greece has already achieved in rebalancing and modernising the economy," Mr Schaeuble said, adding that Germany would contribute to a fund to provide liquidity to Greek businesses.
His visit followed several days of protests and a general strike over the new bill of austerity measures outlining the redeployment of up to 25,000 civil servants.
The bill is tied to new bailout loans worth 6.8bn euros (£5.8bn), needed to keep the Greek government afloat.
While the German minister acknowledged that Greece had taken "big steps" to try and balance its budget, he said it was a "long and painful path" to achieve sustainable growth.
"There is no convenient shortcut. We Germans know this."
He also warned Greeks to stop lobbying for some of the bailout loans Greece owes to be written off, saying it would undermine confidence in Europe's rescue programmes.
"We have to stick to what we've achieved. Anything else is not in the best interest of Greece. Another haircut beyond the 53% for the private sector in not doable," he said.
Greece's coalition government led by conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras agrees it has no choice but to enforce further painful adjustment.
Mr Schaeuble met with Mr Samaras and other Greek officials on his first visit to Greece since the debt crisis exploded in 2009.
During the visit, central Athens went into lockdown with protests banned and metro stations closed.
The moves followed protests of up to 5,000 outside the Greek parliament during Wednesday's vote, and a recent series of strikes against the latest cuts.
Thursday's ban on protests prohibits gatherings of more than three people holding banners or shouting slogans. It will be in force from 09:00 to 20:00 local time (06:00 to 17:00 GMT), reports said.
It was described by Greece's main left-wing opposition party, Syriza, as "fascist and undemocratic".
Correspondents say Mr Schaeuble is viewed bitterly as a champion of the austerity policies which have gripped Greece over the past four years. During that time, Greece has received two bailouts worth more than 240bn euros, but at the cost of wage cuts, tax rises and unemployment that now stands at 27%.
MPs backed the latest budget-reduction measures by 153 to 140 in the vote late on Wednesday.
Under the bill, more than 4,000 state employees, including teachers and local government workers, face dismissal this year.
In addition, 25,000 will be put into a "mobility pool" by the end of the year.
The employees will have an eight-month period on 75% of their salaries in which to seek redeployment, by which point, if they are not transferred to another department, they will face redundancy.
Many Greeks believe that once in the pool, they will inevitably become jobless.
It is thought up to 11,000 could lose their jobs by the end of 2014, to comply with the demands of the so-called troika of creditors - the European Union, European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Before Wednesday's vote, protesters outside parliament expressed their outrage at the measures - the orange jackets of school caretakers mingling with the khaki uniforms of municipal police officers, who also face suspension and possible dismissal.
"I've been a school guard for 13 years and suddenly we find out we have no job. They say we'll be suspended. But that means we'll be fired," 47-year-old Maria Denida, who had travelled from the northern city of Thessaloniki to demonstrate, told AP.
"All of us have kids, unemployed people at home, and bills we can't pay. We were getting 780 euros a month. And if we lose that, we're finished," she said, her voice cracking with emotion.
This was the latest in a week of angry protests including demonstrations and strikes which have seen abandoned rubbish piling up in the streets.
But Prime Minister Samaras defended the measures in a surprise television statement on Wednesday.
"Better days will come for our people," he said.
"We will not let up. We will climb uphill and reach the end, which is not far."
He also announced a 10% cut in restaurant sales tax - from 23% to 13% - to boost the tourist season, but cautioned the old rate could be restored if Greece's notoriously high levels of tax evasion persisted.
The trouble is that despite all the measures that have been taken, Greece's debt is still regarded as unsustainably high, the BBC's Chris Morris in Athens reports.
He says that sooner or later, a new debate will have to begin, about writing off another chunk of the debt. And that could mean that other countries in the eurozone - who have lent huge amounts to Greece - will not get all their money back. | England winger Jonny May says his injury lay-off has been "hell" but he hopes to return to action in October.

His family said a "small, private ceremony" on Wednesday was attended by "family and close friends".
In the statement, they thanked his fans for "their many messages of love and support" following the funeral, thought to have been held in London.
Michael died of natural causes at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, on Christmas Day.
The riverside cottage became a focus for fans' grief in the days after he died, as did his home in Highgate, north London.
The full statement from Michael's family read: "We can confirm that the funeral of the singer George Michael took place today. Family and close friends gathered for the small, private ceremony to say goodbye to their beloved son, brother and friend.
"George Michael's family would like to thank his fans across the world for their many messages of love and support. We ask that the family's wish for privacy be respected so that they can continue to live their lives privately, away from any media intrusion."
Michael - whose full name was Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou - first came to fame in the 1980s as a member of Wham! alongside Andrew Ridgeley.
The pair's pop hits won them thousands of fans before Michael found solo success with hits including Faith and Careless Whisper.
He had a total of seven UK number one singles as a solo artist - including A Different Corner and Jesus to a Child - and the same number of chart-topping albums.
Michael also collaborated with artists including Aretha Franklin and Elton John.
Ridgeley has been among those to pay tribute to Michael during this year's awards season.
Alongside Wham! backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie, he made a speech at the Brit Awards last month describing Michael as a "supernova". His death "felt like the sky had fallen in", he added.
At the Grammys, Adele sang a version of Michael's 1996 hit Fastlove, as a video montage of the late singer was shown.
The coroner's verdict on Michael's death only came three weeks ago. Tests were ordered because an initial post-mortem examination was "inconclusive".
Darren Salter, senior coroner for Oxfordshire, said the star had heart and liver disease.
Many of Michael's fans took to social media and online forums to pay their respects again on Wednesday when news of his funeral emerged.
While he had mostly stayed out of the limelight in his final years, the singer had been collaborating with Naughty Boy, and producer Nile Rodgers said he had visited Michael's home two days before his death to work on a project.

It is thought to be the first large-scale attack on Apple's App Store.
The hackers created a counterfeit version of Apple's software for building iOS apps, which they persuaded developers to download.
Apps compiled using the tool allow the attackers to steal data about users and send it to servers they control.
Cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks - which has analysed the malware dubbed XcodeGhost - said the perpetrators would also be able to send fake alerts to infected devices to trick their owners into revealing information.
It added they could also read and alter information in compromised devices' clipboards, which would potentially allow them to see logins copied to and from password management tools.
Infected applications includes Tencent's hugely popular WeChat app, NetEase's music downloading app and Didi Kuaidi's Uber-like car hailing app.
Some of the affected apps - including the business card scanner CamCard - are also available outside China.
"We've removed the apps from the App Store that we know have been created with this counterfeit software," said Apple spokeswoman Christine Monaghan.
"We are working with the developers to make sure they're using the proper version of Xcode to rebuild their apps," said Christine Monaghan.
On its official WeChat blog, Tencent said the security issue affected an older version of its app - WeChat 6.2.5 - and that newer versions were not affected.
It added that an initial investigation showed that no data theft or leakage of user information had occurred.
In Apple's walled garden App Store, this sort of thing shouldn't happen.
The company goes to great lengths, and great expense, to sift through each and every submission to the store. Staff check for quality, usability and, above all else, security.
The Apple App Store is generally considered a safe haven as the barrier to entry is high - there's only been a handful of instances of malware found on iOS apps, compared to Google's Play store which for a while was regarded as something of a "Wild West" for apps (until they introduced their own malware-scanning system too).
It makes this attack all the more surprising, as it looks like two groups of supposedly informed people have been caught out.
Firstly developers, who security researchers say were duped into using counterfeit software to build their apps, creating the right conditions for the malware to be applied.
And secondly, Apple's quality testers, who generally do a very good job in keeping out nasties, but in this case couldn't detect the threat.

The malware was initially flagged by researchers at the Chinese e-commerce firm Alibaba.
It discovered that the hackers had uploaded several altered versions of Xcode - a tool used to build iOS apps - to a Chinese cloud storage service.
Then, about six months ago, the attackers posted links to the software on several forums commonly visited by Chinese developers.
"In China - and in other places around the world - sometimes network speeds are very slow when downloading large files from Apple's servers," explained Palo Alto Networks in a follow-up blog.
"As the standard Xcode installer is nearly three gigabytes, some Chinese developers choose to download the package from other sources."
It added that potentially hundreds of millions of users might have been affected.
Apple does have a security tool - called Gatekeeper - that is designed to alert users to unauthorised Mac programs and stop them from being run. However, it appears the developers must disabled the facility, allowing them to create iOS apps with XcodeGhost.
Despite the many news headlines about the breach, one expert said he did not forecast a major impact on the sale of Apple products.
"It is definitely embarrassing for Apple but the reality is that malware is a persistent problem since the days of PCs and the problem will multiply as the number of mobile devices explodes from 1.4 billion units in 2015 to 1.8 billion in 2020," Wee Teck Loo, head of consumer electronics at market research firm Euromonitor International, told the BBC.
In fact, consumers are less cautious on mobile devices than on PCs, he added.
"In emerging markets like China or Vietnam, mobile devices are their first connected product and security is taken for granted," he said.
"Consumers in emerging markets are also less protective of privacy and security issues."
Earlier this month, login names and passwords for more than 225,000 Apple accounts were stolen by cyber-thieves in China.
It was uncovered by security firm Palo Alto Networks while investigating suspicious activity on many Apple devices. It found a malicious software family that targets jailbroken iPhones.

Membership and ticket sales were up by 20% on 2014, while commercial income passed the £500,000 mark for the first time, a 30% increase.
"A fifth successive year of surplus is another step in the right direction," said chief executive Simon Storey.
"We need to build on this to increase investment in the playing budget."

Four men were cleared of raping a 20-year-old woman at a college ball in Gloucestershire.
After the trial collapsed, Det Con Ben Lewis was criticised by the judge for getting too close to the complainant.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission will analyse Gloucestershire Police's handling of the case.
The woman had claimed the men attacked her at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester in May 2014.
But, following delays due to the late disclosure of evidence and a review of the case, the prosecution offered no evidence.
It meant the four defendants - Thady Duff, Leo Mahon and Patrick Foster, all 22, and James Martin, 20 - were cleared.
IPCC has decided an independent investigation is "appropriate".
Last week during a hearing on defence costs, Judge Jamie Tabor QC, the Recorder of Gloucester, criticised Det Con Lewis, the lead officer in the case.
The judge said the officer had got too close to the complainant and did not understand his job properly, which led to "stark and very serious omissions".
He said the officer had failed to disclose "game-changing" evidence.

The midfielder side-footed in a Kyle Naughton cross to give Swansea a first win in six games.
Andre's brother Jordan had given Villa the lead with a stooping header before Gylfi Sigurdsson curled in a 25-yard free-kick to level.
Villa's sixth straight defeat sees them remain second bottom of the Premier League, four points from safety.
Home defender Joleon Lescott had a chance to equalise late on when he found space at a corner but hooked a shot over.

Relive Swansea's win over Aston Villa
Sherwood, whose team have won only once all season, had likened this game to a cup final in the build-up.

The club's hierarchy were also reportedly looking at the games against Chelsea and Swansea to judge the side - Villa have lost both.
They survived a Swansea chance when Federico Fernandez skied a shot from close range as both sides struggled to stamp any kind of authority on the game.
Fernandez was involved in a clash with Villa centre-back Micah Richards before the latter was also involved in a heated exchange with Swansea skipper Ashley Williams when he attempted to intervene.
Jordan Ayew gave Villa hope with his first goal for the club but the hosts led for only six minutes.
There was a family affair with Jordan and Andre Ayew on opposing sides and both midfielders played a key part for their sides.
The pair played against each other in the French league last season and Jordan's team won on that occasion, but this time their fortunes were reversed.
Andre should have put the visitors in front when he was played through on goal by Bafetimbi Gomis only for his shot to be saved by on-rushing keeper Brad Guzan

Villa counter-attacked from the resulting corner, with Jordan nodding in Gabriel Agbonlahor's cross.
However, Swansea responded impressively and Andre atoned for his earlier miss as he scored the winner from six yards after a dangerous low cross by Naughton.
"We are unlucky and we have a lot of new players," said Jordan. "Every week we are getting better and we have to continue to do that.
"We are always behind the manager. He is behind us and we are all together and there is no problem."
On Andre, he added: "We are family, there is no problem."
Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood: "I'm disappointed with result. I didn't think we deserved to lose. We can't carry anyone because we're getting done.
"I said to the boys every one has to play to their maximum to get anything from a game. At the moment we are short.
"The boys gave everything. There's no shortage in desire but the quality is not quite there."
Swansea boss Garry Monk: "The period that we have been in and the way we have been playing, it was good to get the three points in the way we did.
"All of it has been a bit of a circus this week. It was about getting through this period. Hopefully, we can get some momentum now."
"Concerning speculation about his role, Monk added: "I don't concentrate on it. I don't focus on it. I focus myself and group on football."
Aston Villa are at Southampton on Wednesday for a League Cup fourth-round tie before a trip to Sherwood's former club Tottenham in the league. Swansea host Arsenal in the Premier League next Saturday.

Sarah McClay, 24, died at South Lakes Wild Animal Park - now known as South Lakes Safari Zoo - in Dalton-in-Furness, south Cumbria, in May 2013.
A Sumatran tiger, which got through an unlocked gate, left deep puncture wounds in her neck and body.
The zoo's owner, David Gill, 55, had faced individual charges on the same allegations but was formally acquitted.
The prosecution offered no evidence against him.
Miss McClay, from Barrow-in-Furness, suffered "unsurvivable" multiple injuries in the attack and was airlifted to hospital where she was formally pronounced dead.
Her boyfriend, David Shaw, said it was a "shame it took this long to come to what was a fairly obvious conclusion".
In September 2014, an inquest jury in Kendal ruled, in a narrative verdict, the tiger got to Miss McClay by entering two open internal sliding gates within the tiger house and then an open door that led on to the corridor.
Systems were in place at the park to ensure animals and keepers remained apart at all times through indoor and outdoor compartments connected by lockable self-closing doors, it heard.
The zoo pleaded guilty to contravening the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and failing to ensure people who were not staff were not exposed to risk on the day in question.
It accepted it had not sufficiently addressed risks arising from a defective bolt on the door that was open immediately before the attack.
The company said "a more proactive maintenance and inspection regime" should have been in place to ensure the door functioned efficiently and that its self-closing mechanism worked properly.
"The failure of the door to self-close was a more than trivial cause of harm," it said.
Sentencing will take place at Preston Crown Court on Friday when the company is expected to receive a financial penalty.
Miss McClay, who was originally from Glasgow, had worked at the park for more than two years and was experienced with working with big cats, which she saw as a "privilege".
Her mother, Fiona McClay, from Linlithgow, West Lothian, said it was her daughter's "dream job" after she had visited the park as a child.
The family asked for Padang not to be put down at the time but he was put to sleep because of his age this year.
It can now be reported that the zoo pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to two other contraventions of the Health and Safety at Work Act when a zoo keeper fell from a ladder while preparing to feed big cats in July 2014.
The company admitted it failed to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of its employees, including Yasmin Walker, and to carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment.
Barrow Borough Council, which oversees the zoo, is considering whether to renew the park's operating licence, which would have expired on Tuesday but has been extended until a council hearing on 5 July where Mr Gill must show a number of requirements have been met.
Inspectors previously demanded more than 30 improvements to the attraction, having found it had placed staff and the public in potential danger.
Aidan Kielty, who retired two years ago, said his concerns about the GMP unit were not properly investigated.
Mr Kielty spoke after a sacked police officer claimed he was the victim of "corrupt practice" within the force.
GMP said former Ch Insp John Buttress had "fallen below" the force's accepted honesty standards.
Before his retirement, Mr Kielty was responsible for the Criminal Investigations Departments for the Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers.
He was also responsible for assisting officers accused of criminal or misconduct matters.
He said he became dismayed at practices which he considered to be "corrupt, criminal, underhand and contrary to the police regulations".
His complaints about the department include concerns about the case of an officer who was dismissed for striking a prisoner without justification.
A spokesman for GMP said those concerns had been "considered and reviewed at the time".
Mr Kielty told the BBC: "From my experience, in my opinion, Greater Manchester Police Professional Standards Department would regularly lie, cheat, change witness statements and bully people into changing witness statements.
"They would prosecute an officer rather than investigate an officer. And by that I mean they would decide at the earliest opportunity whether an officer was innocent or guilty. And then work towards that end game."
Mr Kielty claims the branch was "not trusted" by the majority of officers "because they don't follow the rules".
He added: "They breach police regulations and the law in respects of obtaining evidence. They do it on a regular basis."
He said the practice appears to continue.
On Monday, Ch Insp John Buttress said he believed there was corrupt police practice in targeting him.
He was cleared in January by a crown court jury in Liverpool of mortgage fraud but, under a lower burden of proof, was brought before a police disciplinary panel.
A spokesman for GMP said: "We have been working on a range of developments to the way in which we conduct internal investigations.
"This has included working with the Police and Crime Commissioner to introduce an ombudsman.
"It is understandable that staff who have the difficult job of investigating colleagues sometimes find themselves facing allegations from those they investigate."
The operation will involve army and federal police units, along with tribal fighters.
Their main targets are the towns of Aanah, Rawa and al-Qaim, which lie along the River Euphrates.
Last year, government forces drove IS out of much of Anbar province, retaking the major cities of Ramadi and Falluja.
But large parts of the vast desert region remain under jihadist control.
The first target of the offensive is the town of Aanah, about 240km (150 miles) north-west of Baghdad.
"Our forces started advancing from Haditha towards Aanah from several directions," Lt Gen Qassem Mohammedi, head of the military's Jazeera Operations Command, told AFP news agency on Thursday.
Troops then aim to advance westwards along the Euphrates towards Rawa and then al-Qaim, which is 330km from Baghdad and next to a key crossing on the border with Syria.
The offensive comes as government forces continue to battle IS militants for control of the northern city of Mosul.
On Wednesday, a senior Iraqi commander said 65-70% of eastern Mosul had been recaptured and that troops expected to reach the banks of the River Tigris in the city centre within days.
Lt Gen Talib Shaghati, head of the elite Counter-Terrorism Service, told Reuters news agency that IS had carried out hundreds of suicide car bomb attacks since the assault began 11 weeks ago in an attempt to hold on to its last major urban stronghold in Iraq.
A spokesman for the US-led multinational coalition supporting the offensive said troops had made significant progress since launching a new phase on 29 December, when they began synchronising attacks on three axes and the number of coalition military advisers was doubled to about 450.
"What we're finding is that the synchronized attacks present the enemy with more problems than they can solve, and the Iraqi security forces are making progress with the continued benefit of coalition strikes and advisers," Col John Dorrian told reporters on Wednesday.
However, the presence inside the city of hundreds of thousands of civilians continues to slow progress.
"There are more than 200,000 buildings in Mosul. And really, in order to do this properly, given the way that the enemy has conducted themselves, you end up having to clear each one," Col Dorrian said.
Vikki Thompson, 21, from Keighley, was found dead in her cell at HMP Leeds in 2015 with a ligature around her neck.
The jury at the two-week inquest in Wakefield concluded it was right she was held in a male jail and that she did not intend to take her own life.
But the foreman said "more attention should have been paid" to her.
More stories from across Yorkshire
"Vikki has been let down by various departments including the NHS, Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, the Prison Service and also by her family," he said.
"Although these departments were individually aware of Vikki's history, the overall coordination of her mental and health state were lacking in any form of organisational structure.
"During her last stay at HMP Leeds, the management of her treatment and mental state of mind were also lacking in professionalism and inadequate for an individual of such complex issues."
Speaking outside court, Miss Thompson's family solicitor Philip Goldberg said: "Vikki's mother remains deeply distressed by the loss of her daughter, yet hopes that if any good is to come of her death it's that the Ministry of Justice also undertakes a complete overhaul of HMP Leeds.
"It was the responsibility of HMP Leeds to ensure she was properly looked after and safe."
The jury heard Miss Thompson, who was found dead in her cell on 13 November, had repeatedly told prison and court escort staff that she would be "carried out in a box".
Her partner Robert Steele had told the inquest she said to him in a phone she wanted to move to a women's prison and her solicitors were waiting for her to make a formal application to the governor.
But, in a statement read in court, Miss Thompson's mother Lisa Harrison said her daughter did not say she had a problem being in a men's prison.
Miss Thompson did not have a Gender Recognition Certificate establishing her female identity so she was sent to a male prison, the coroner said.
PC Fiona Bone, 32, and PC Nicola Hughes, 23, died after apparently being lured to a bogus burglary at a house in Greater Manchester on Tuesday.
A man, Dale Cregan, handed himself into police shortly afterwards.
Sir Hugh said: "Guns don't necessarily solve the problem. You only have to look to the American experience.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Many colleagues in America are lost without even drawing their gun at close ranges. I can't describe this particular case in detail but the reality is, the clear view of the British police service from top to bottom is we don't want to be armed.
"One of the learning points in Northern Ireland - I had an armed service - was it distances us from communities. They don't like approaching officers with guns," he added.
But Ash Rathband, whose father David was shot and blinded by Newcastle gunman Raoul Moat, tweeted after the Hattersley incident: "It's time for police to be armed in my opinion. Yet again another awful incident."
His comments were echoed, again on Twitter, by his uncle Darren: "Give them more than a bloody piece of plastic and some spray. Tragic!"
The widower of a police officer shot dead in Bradford in 2005 also added his voice to the chorus calling for the routine arming of officers.
Paul Beshenivsky, whose wife Sharon was killed during a bungled robbery at a travel agency, told ITV News: "You wouldn't think it'd happen again, but it has."
He said: "I think police, in honesty, should be armed, walking into situations that they're not totally aware of. You can't have armed response at every situation, but I think, as an officer being armed... feeling more comfortable, walking into that situation, thinking, 'I could respond...'."
Andy Hill, a senior lecturer in policing and criminal justice and a former sergeant with Thames Valley Police, said: "I'm totally against the routine arming of officers.
"We've got fantastically highly trained firearms officers, I mean we can almost name the officers who have lost their lives to firearms in the last 20 to 30 years. It is tragic, it is unforgivable but it's rare, thank goodness."
Film director Michael Winner, founder of the Police Memorial Trust, has also called for officers to be routinely armed but Greater Manchester Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy is against it.
He said: "We are passionate that the British style of policing is routinely unarmed policing. Sadly, we know from the experience in America and other countries that having armed officers certainly does not mean... that police officers do not end up getting shot."
Mr Fahy's point was underlined last month in LaPlace, Louisiana, when two sheriff's deputies - both armed - were shot dead at a trailer park.
Two other sheriff's deputies were also injured in the incident.
The battery-free camera was modified so it could scavenge power from ambient wi-fi signals, store it and then use it to take photos.
The experiment was one of several by US researchers looking at ways to use wi-fi as a power source.
The team behind the project believes its techniques will be useful for powering the many devices expected to form the "internet of things".
The system, known as power-over-wi-fi, has been developed by PhD student Vamsi Talla and colleagues at the Sensor Systems Lab at the University of Washington in Seattle.
The team realised that the energy contained in ambient wi-fi signals that are now ubiquitous often came close to the operating voltages required by a variety of low power devices.
Unfortunately, because wi-fi signals are broadcast in bursts across different frequencies the required amount of energy was only available too intermittently to be useful.
To fix this, the research team modified standard wi-fi hotspots and routers to broadcast noise when a channel was not being used to send data. This meant the power of the wi-fi signals stayed constant and, though low, was high enough to power some components.
Adding the noise did little to slow data rates across hotspots, said the team.
The team used the power beaming system to run a temperature sensor and a small surveillance camera that both sat several metres away from a wi-fi hotspot.
The low-power camera gathered energy from wi-fi and stored it in a capacitor that prompted the camera to take a picture when it was charged. By leaching off the ambient radio signals, the camera gathered enough energy every 35 minutes to take a snap.
In a paper detailing their work, Mr Talla and colleagues said it had the potential to help power the small, low-power sensors and actuators that are expected to become common in homes and workplaces as part of the internet of things.
"The ability to deliver power wirelessly to a wide range of autonomous devices and sensors is hugely significant," said a story about the research in MIT's Technology Review. " Powi-fi could be the enabling technology that finally brings the internet of things to life."
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) scientists, who work in the affected grassland area of Western Mongolia, say the disease originated in livestock.
It is a virus known as PPR or Peste des Petits Ruminants.
WCS veterinary scientist Dr Enkhtuvshin Shiilegdamba told BBC News that 2,500 Saiga had already died.
The animal carcasses are burned to prevent the spread of the disease.
Researchers described the speed of the disease spread as "alarming".
"The first case of PPR was confirmed in the Saiga on only 2nd January this year," Dr Shiilegdamba told BBC News.
She and her colleagues say that this is the first deadly infectious outbreak known to have occurred in this population of animals. And beyond this one, rare species, there is concern for the impact on the wider grassland ecosystem.
"Many other species share this same range," explained Dr Shiilegdamba, "including ibex and big-horned sheep."
"And there are about 1.5 million Mongolian gazelle that migrate through the eastern part of the country.
"If this [spreads east] and hits the gazelle population, it could be economically and ecologically devastating."
One major concern is that, with the disappearance of wildlife in the area, there will be a lack of prey for the endemic snow leopard. As well as affecting the health and population of these carnivores, this could put leopards at greater risk of being shot by farmers - as a lack of wild prey drives them to take livestock.
Professor Richard Kock from the UK's Royal Veterinary College agreed that the broader ecological consequences were potentially "dire".
"It is a catastrophe," he told BBC News. "I expect some Saiga will survive, but if surviving animals - in poor condition and with weakened immune systems - in the spring are challenged by opportunist bacteria, extinction is a very real possibility.
"The solution to the PPR problem is effective vaccination of livestock and its elimination from Asia.
"There is a global programme [to co-ordinate this] but no resources coming from donors as yet in any significant way, and this is critically important."
Herds of sheep, goats and other domestic livestock in the affected area have been vaccinated, but Dr Amanda Fine, a vet with the WCS wildlife health program in Asia agreed that "further immunisation" was needed "in not only Saiga range areas but [in the habitats] of other affected species".
"We need to ensure the disease does not spread to unaffected populations," added Dr Fine, "in order to save the last population of Mongolian Saiga from extinction".
Jean Sebastien Beaud, 31, is a rescuer and officer of the High Mountain Police based in Jausiers in the French Alps.
He and two of his colleagues were the first to arrive on the crash site of the Germanwings aircraft on Tuesday, just half an hour after the impact.
"We got the alert at 10:45 local time (09:45 GMT) on Tuesday, we grabbed our equipment and took off with the helicopter in direction of the area where we thought the Airbus went missing.
"At 11:07 we spotted the crash site." A few minutes later Jean Sebastien was winched down at the top of the crash site with another colleague and a doctor.
"What we saw there was surreal, beyond imagination. The smell of burned metal and kerosene was overwhelming.
"There was a lot of debris, we saw the first human remains and we immediately knew there was going to be no survivors."
"We found less than ten bodies entirely or partly preserved, to be honest only one body was almost intact.
"We do this job to rescue and help people but in this case we were only spectators, it was very distressing."
In the absence of any survivors the rescue operation turned into a search operation.
"We were instructed to take pictures of the scene for the report and we were also asked to find the black boxes."
On his smartphone Jean Sebastien shows me pictures of the scene as he found it, smoke coming out of the vast slopes covered with debris and burned pieces of metal.
On one video he recorded on his mobile you see a couple of unrecognisable aircraft parts still in flames. It then pans across the scene and reveals very graphic images including what look like body parts.
"We started to walk down slope the best we could as it's a dangerously steep side of the mountain. At the top of the hill we could see the largest parts of debris but down the slopes only very small pieces.
"After 30 minutes of research I found an orange piece of metal of about 1ft (30cm) at the bottom of the valley near the impact point and I immediately called on the radio to indicate that one of the black boxes had been found."
His discovery has since proved to be key to answering some of the questions surrounding the drama.
The High Mountain Police are special units of the French National Military Police. They are trained rescuers and they know the mountains well.
There are 15 squads of High Mountain Police as well as Lower Mountain Police, most them based in the Alps and the Pyrenees.
Well equipped, they have helicopters and rescuers on standby 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Every night since the accident High Mountain Police officers have spent the night at the crash site to secure the area. Thursday night was Jean Sebastien's turn.
"It's very dark at night, we base ourselves only 100 meters away from the debris but we don't see anything.
"The atmosphere is pretty gloomy as we are on the site of the tragedy. The smell of burning and of kerosene is still strong and of course you can't help and think about the people who died there.
"We don't sleep. It's very cold up there and last night was very windy, there were four of us spending the night there.
"We light a fire and chat to each other to stay awake, we talked about what we saw - it's a form of therapy. Even if we don't consciously feel traumatised by what we see, it's good to talk about it between us.
"It's a way to deal with the horror we witnessed."
In an open letter to staff, chief executive Howard Schultz said the president's order had caused "confusion, surprise and opposition".
Recruitment will begin in the US and focus on people who had served or supported the military.
Mr Schultz is the latest US corporate chief to criticise the ban.
Silicon Valley heavyweights including Facebook, Google and Tesla have made public statements, while Airbnb is offering free accommodation to people affected by the travel restrictions and unable to get into the US.
On Friday, President Trump signed an executive order barring immigrants from seven majority-Muslim countries for a minimum of 90 days, and suspending the US refugee program for 120 days.
Mr Schultz said he wrote to employees with "deep concern, a heavy heart and a resolute promise" - adding he wanted them to know that the firm would "neither stand by, nor stand silent, as the uncertainty around the new administration's actions grows with each passing day".
The recruitment pledge was "a concerted effort to welcome and seek opportunities for those fleeing war, violence, persecution and discrimination", he said.

A source in the south-east Asian oil industry has told the BBC that the company behind the drilling, Repsol of Spain, was ordered to leave the area.
It comes only days after it had confirmed the existence of a major gas field.
Those reports have been corroborated by a Vietnamese diplomatic source.
According to the industry source, Repsol executives were told last week by the government in Hanoi that China had threatened to attack Vietnamese bases in the Spratly Islands if the drilling did not stop.
China claims almost all of the South China Sea, including reefs and islands also contested by other nations.
The drilling expedition began last month in an area of sea about 400km (250 miles) off Vietnam's south-east coast.
The Vietnamese call the region Block 136-03 and have leased it to a company called Talisman-Vietnam, a subsidiary of Repsol.
China calls it Wanan Bei-21 and has leased the same piece of seabed to a different company.
Exactly which company is not clear. In 2015, the Chinese rights were sold to a Hong Kong-listed company called Brightoil, but it has recently denied owning them.
Two of the directors of Brightoil are senior members of the Chinese Communist Party.
Talisman-Vietnam was formerly owned by the Canadian company Talisman, but since 2015 has been part of the Spanish-owned Repsol group.
One analyst, who did not want to be named, estimated that Repsol has spent about $300m on developing the field so far.
It has therefore come as a surprise to observers that Vietnam should have backed down so quickly.
In 2014 coastguard vessels and other ships belonging to China and Vietnam confronted each other in a different area of the South China Sea, further north, near the Paracel Islands.
Since then the two countries have tried to avoid confrontation.

Heddlu Gogledd Cymru oedd wedi cofnodi'r nifer uchaf o ddigwyddiadau o'r fath, ond roedd mwyafrif o'r achosion yn wrthdrawiadau bychain.
Dywedodd Gwasanaeth Ambiwlans Cymru y gallai gwrthdrawiad ar alwad 999 fod yn "gatastroffig".
Dangosodd ffigyrau cais Deddf Rhyddid Gwybodaeth fod swyddogion Heddlu Gogledd Cymru wedi bod mewn 331 gwrthdrawiad yn 2015-16 - sef gostyngiad o'r 361 gwrthdrawiad yn y flwyddyn flaenorol.
Dywedodd Stephen Roberts, pennaeth cyfleusterau a fflyd trafnidiaeth Heddlu'r Gogledd: "Mae'r mwyafrif o gerbydau Heddlu Gogledd Cymru yn cael defnydd cyson, gan ymateb yn chwim ac effeithiol i sefyllfaoedd heriol ac argyfyngus. Mae ein fflyd o 557 cerbyd yn teithio pellter maith ymhob tywydd a chyflwr ffyrdd.

A palm print found on a getaway van has been linked to a set of fingerprints.
The new evidence comes 40 years after the killings by an IRA gang and 13 years after the families began fighting for an inquest.
Ten Protestant men were shot dead in the massacre by an IRA gang near the County Armagh village of Kingsmills in 1976.
Colin Worton, whose 24-year-old brother, Kenneth, was one of the men killed, said the announcement that the PSNI would re-open the investigation was a "total shock".
"I have to be truthful to you", he told the BBC, "I do feel a mixture of emotions, but one of the worst ones I have is anger.
"Why has this taken more than 40 years to come out?"
He called the men who fired the shots "animals" and said he was "totally sickened" that the investigation has gone on so long.
The men who were killed were travelling home from work in a textile factory when their mini-bus was ambushed.
After checking their religion, the gang ordered one Catholic to leave before opening fire.
Only one man survived the shootings.
Alan Black, a 32-year-old father of three at the time, was seriously wounded and spent months recovering in hospital.
On Tuesday, an inquest into the deaths resumed following a short delay.
A senior investigating officer has now been allocated to the case and the criminal investigation re-opened.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton, head of the PSNI's legacy and justice department, said he appreciated this was "a very difficult time" for the victims' families.
"Due to a recent forensic development, detectives from legacy investigation branch are now following a line of inquiry in relation to the murders at Kingsmills in 1976", he said.
"We have been liaising with the coroner's office in relation to this and will continue to do so.
"We are committed to progressing this matter as expeditiously as possible and will keep them (the families) updated as appropriate."
Howley, 46, says "external" opinions do not influence the team or the coaches, but would not want the public's obsession to change.
"One thing about being Welsh is the passion we have and the opinions everyone has about the game," he said.
"We wouldn't want that to change and it hasn't changed in 20 or 30 years."
Wales needed a last-minute Sam Davies drop-goal to clinch a win against Japan with Howley admitting the performance did not match his own or public expectation.
A number of former players were highly critical of the display and there was more criticism on social media.
Wales face South Africa in the final match of the autumn series in Cardiff on Saturday.

"As a coach and as a player you learn through your successes and your failures and you learn more from your failures," Howley said.
"I haven't read or listened to anything over the past two or three weeks.
"From a coaches' perspective we always talk about internal and external perception and it's important from a player's perspective and our perspective that nothing changes our decision making.
"But the public opinion is a continuation of the passion and the opinion everyone has about the game in Wales and that's absolutely right."
"The expectation against Japan - and we won the game - within the group as well was that it wasn't good enough.
"But hopefully we have an opportunity now in the next week against South Africa to put that right."
South Africa have drawn with the Barbarians and lost against England and Italy on their current tour and have made seven changes for the match against Wales.
Howley expects the Springboks to play an expansive game in Cardiff.
"I think there's less pressure on them, I think they'll come out and play," he said.
"I watched the game down in Florence and the weather wasn't great. And they will be a danger to us they'll come to play.
"They'll have watched Japan against us and Japan and as a back three we have to defend better than we did against Japan."
Ten people were left critically injured at a lawnmower factory in Hesston on Thursday, where the attacker worked.
Police say the gunman, Cedric Ford, had been served a court order hours before, which may have been the trigger.
The attack comes less than a week after a man was charged with killing six people and wounding two others during a shooting rampage in Michigan.
A number of mass shootings in the United States have elevated gun control as a campaign issue in this year's presidential election.
'Random' Michigan shootings kill six
Obama considers unilateral action on gun violence
Local police say the gunman, identified as 38-year-old Cedric Ford, began shooting at around 17:00 local time in the town of Newton.
Harvey county's Sheriff T Walton said the attack happened hours after the suspect was served a "protection from abuse" order - a civil court order telling a person not to have contact with someone - suggesting it could be a possible motive.
"I believe that probably is the trigger, and it went from there," Sheriff Walton told reporters on Friday.
He had a history of convictions for previous offenses, including burglary, theft and fleeing a police officer, according to public records.
The gunman shot a truck driver in the shoulder, and another man in the leg as he drove towards the Excel Industries site where he worked.
He then opened fire in the car park, killing one person, before killing two more people inside the factory site.
Factory employee Martin Espinoza described how the gunman, a colleague who he said usually had a calm demeanour, attempted to shoot him.
The gunman pointed his weapon at Mr Espinoza and pulled the trigger, but the weapon was empty. Mr Espinoza then ran away as the gunman took out a second gun.
"I looked right at him and he looked right at me," Mr Espinoza said.
Another witness described scenes of panic.
"All I know is I'm seeing people running and so I'm assuming fire, and so I take a few steps and I hear pop, pop and I'm thinking just some paint cans or something going up, and more people running and all of a sudden, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop and I'm going, ahh, I start running too," said one man.
Chosen by the Confederation of African Football (Caf), the award will be some consolation for Pitroipa after his side lost Sunday's final to the Nigerians.
The Rennes winger's outstanding performances resulted in two goals.
Sent off in the semis, he played in the final after Caf rescinded his ban.
Man of the Tournament: Jonathan Pitroipa (Burkina Faso)
Goal of the Tournament: Youssef El Msakni, Tunisia v Algeria
Fair Player of the Tournament: Victor Moses (Nigeria)
The incident proved to be one of the competition's biggest talking points, after Pitroipa picked up a second yellow card for simulation late in the semi-final victory over Ghana.
Thankfully for Pitroipa, referee Slim Jdidi admitted he had made a mistake in his match report, so allowing Caf to overturn the ban and allow him to take to the field in Johannesburg on Sunday.
Pitroipa's compatriot Bakary Kone also made the team but the bulk of the players came from the Super Eagles, who lifted the trophy for the first time since 1994 - and for the third time overall - after their narrow 1-0 win.
Vincent Enyeama, who pulled off a brilliant and important save in the final to deny Wilfried Sanou with the score at 1-0, was named as the team's goalkeeper.
The Israel-based goalkeeper was joined by several compatriots in the side: defender Efe Ambrose, midfielders John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses as well as striker Emmanuel Emenike.
Chelsea winger Moses, who was superb in the final, also picked up the fair play award and Emenike, who missed the final through injury, won the golden boot as the tournament's top scorer.
"Winning my first African Nations Cup - and ending as the joint top scorer, I am so, so happy," Emenike told BBC Sport.
"This tournament has been very great, starting from the first game when I scored against Burkina Faso, because I hadn't been doing great for the national team before that."
One player was picked from each of the losing semi-finalists Mali and Ghana, as well as quarter-finalists Cape Verde and Ivory Coast.
There was no place for Ghana's Mubarak Wakaso, who found the back of the net four times to finish as the joint top scorer alongside Emenike.
Africa Cup of Nations All Stars:
Goalkeeper: Vincent Enyeama (Nigeria)
Defenders: Efe Ambrose (Nigeria), Bakary Kone (Burkina Faso), Nando (Cape Verde)
Midfielders: Jonathan Pitroipa (Burkina Faso), Siaka Tiene (Ivory Coast), John Obi Mikel (Nigeria), Seydou Keita (Mali), Victor Moses (Nigeria)
Forwards: Asamoah Gyan (Ghana), Emmanuel Emenike (Nigeria).

Some businesses had to close for months after the River Severn through the city burst its banks.
BBC Midlands Today's Kevin Reide went to the city centre and spoke to restaurant owner John Bishop, department store manager, Blanche Abbott, and tourism officer Roy McDonald, to find out if the city is recovering from the impact of the floods.
Jayne Smith is leaving Foula Primary, in Shetland, after three-and-a-half years in the post.
The job is being advertised with a salary of £49,133 and rented three-bedroom accommodation is available.
The closing date is Thursday and there has been interest from as far afield as South Africa and Azerbaijan.
Foula, about 20 miles west of the Shetland Mainland, is one of the UK's most remote inhabited islands and has a population of just 32. It was the location for the 1937 Michael Powell film The Edge of the World.
The school currently has two pupils but one is leaving for high school in Lerwick at the end of the current term.
Ms Smith, 38, told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland: "I have loved my time on Foula, it has just been amazing.
"Most of the time I have been there we have actually had just one pupil.
"He has been in the upper stages of primary, so we have been able to go and visit Fair Isle, we have had lots of trips to the Mainland, it has just been brilliant."
Of her decision to leave in October, she said: "When I came I was initially going to do two years, I thought it would look good on my CV, and then of course I got caught up with being there.
"But I feel it is time to go and get back to the mainland, because I miss the little things like.....roads, proper roads, being able to get the car into fifth gear. If you get it out of second on Foula you're doing really good."
And of the type of person suited to the post, the departing teacher said: "To be quite honest, the job is only a small part of it, it's got to be someone who's so adaptable and able to live in an isolated area.
"We can be cut off from the mainland for, I think the longest time while I have been there has been three weeks that we have had no ferry and no plane.
"You have to be really resilient.
"We want somebody special who is coming in enthusiastic with new ideas and who is going to love living on Foula."
The flight to the Shetland Mainland is 15 minutes, and the ferry journey is two-and-a-half hours.

Geddel Vieira Lima, a former cabinet minister, had been in charge of Mr Temer's relations with Congress.
Prosecutors say Mr Vieira Lima tried to block investigations into state bank Caixa Economica Federal. There was no immediate comment from Mr Vieira Lima.
Mr Temer is fighting a corruption crisis that has shaken his government.
Last week Brazil's prosecutor general also charged Mr Temer and an aide with corruption.
Mr Temer has denied the accusations against him and says he has support in the Congress which will begin to discuss the charges this week.
If two-thirds of the lower house vote in favour, Mr Temer will be suspended from office for 180 days and tried in the Supreme Court.
The president's latest political crisis began in May when a business tycoon secretly recorded a conversation with the president in an unofficial late-night meeting which he revealed in a plea bargain deal with prosecutors.
During the conversation, Mr Temer appeared to endorse the tycoon obstructing the investigation and bribing politicians.
Mr Temer has said the footage is authentic, taken from a meeting in March, but he has strongly denied wrongdoing.
His administration has been bogged down with a string of corruption scandals since he took over from former president Dilma Rousseff in a controversial impeachment process.
Lee Joon-seok was at the helm when the ferry went down in April 2014 killing more than 300 people, mostly children.
He had been found guilty in November of gross negligence and sentenced to 36 years, but relatives of the dead were furious he was not convicted of murder.
But the appeals court gave 14 other crew members lighter sentences.
The judge in the appeal court was scathing in his verdict on the actions of the captain.
He said abandoning the Sewol was like a doctor deserting sick and dying people in hospital.
The captain's actions, said the judge, left his charges on his ship in a state of fatal and indescribable suffering.
The decision is likely to be academic because the captain is nearly 70 and so was never likely to be freed under his previous sentence.
Prosecutors told the Gwangju court Lee deserved the death penalty.
They had argued that he had abandoned his passengers, leading to the deaths of 250 high school students and "inflicted an incurable injury on their parents", according to Yonhap news agency.
But families of the victims staged a protest outside the court, unhappy that the sentence was not even tougher.
"He should have received death penalty. Imprisonment for life? They want to give life sentence to a person so that he can peacefully die when he is old?" Jeon Myung-sun, father of Sewol ferry victim Jeon Chan-ho asked the protesters, according to AP.
Lee had been captured on video and in photographs leaving the ship while passengers remained trapped inside.
He had apologised for abandoning passengers but argued that he never intended to sacrifice their lives and had said he was "confused" during the incident.
On Tuesday the court also gave new sentences to 14 other crew members, ranging from 18 months to 12 years in prison.
They had previously received longer jail sentences of five to 30 years.
Jeon Il-ho, a judge at Gwanju High Court, was reported by Reuters as explaining that the new sentences took into account the fact they were acting on orders.
"We drew a distinction between the captain Lee Joon-seok who has a grave responsibility and crew members who took orders from the captain. And we considered health conditions of the crew members and actions they took in the rescue operation as well as how they boarded the ferry Sewol," he said.
The disaster, which took place on 16 April 2014, was one of the worst maritime disasters in South Korea in decades, and triggered widespread mourning.
It was blamed on a combination of illegal redesigns, the overloading of cargo, the inexperience of the crew member steering the vessel, and lax government regulations.
President Park Geun-hye has vowed reforms and also agreed to demands from grieving relatives to salvage the ferry, amid ongoing protests by South Koreans. Nine bodies have still not been found.
Over the weekend thousands peacefully demonstrated in Seoul against the government's handling of the disaster.
The rally followed clashes with riot police at another protest the previous weekend, which left dozens injured.
The German champions host their Portuguese counterparts in Tuesday's quarter-final first leg, with the return match taking place next week.
"They haven't conceded many goals and it is going to be an interesting game," said Guardiola, whose team are leading the Bundesliga by five points.
"I don't feel like we're favourites."
Guardiola, who will become Manchester City coach in the summer, is trying to win the Champions League with Bayern for the first time.
His team were beaten by Portuguese opposition last season at the same stage when they lost 3-1 at Porto before winning 6-1 at home to reach the semi-finals.
Bayern forward Mario Gotze has described the tie with Benfica as "dangerous".
"We have to remind ourselves about what we experienced in Porto," said Gotze.
Bayern will be without Arjen Robben (groin), but fellow winger Kingsley Coman (leg) should be fit.
Benfica, who are top of the Portuguese league, are in the quarter-finals for the first time since they lost 3-1 on aggregate to Chelsea in 2012.
"We go into this game knowing our opponents are candidates to win the Champions League, but we won't be backing down," said Benfica boss Rui Vitoria.
"Any team that make this stage won't say they don't want to win the competition.
"We will think about beating Bayern, regardless of how strong they are."
The tit-for-tat ban, imposed on Thursday, bars imports from countries which have imposed sanctions on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine.
"It will have a big impact on business," said Sinclair Banks, boss of fishing and fish processing firm Lunar.
The firm, based in Peterhead in north-east Scotland, exports 16% of its mackerel and herring to Russia.
Mr Banks added that Lunar had already cancelled a boat exporting herring because of the sanctions.
Some 320 miles south, Shropshire cheese-maker Belton Cheese is also suffering.
Justin Beckett, managing director of the family business, said it had already had to cancel a £30,000 cheese order due to be sent to Russia on Monday.
"As you can imagine it's very disappointing. Russia was a very new market, about 2-3% of our business, but we had an expansion plan for the next two to three years."
Mr Beckett said this expansion had been expected to bring in up to £2m over the next three years.
Larger firms, such as B&Q owner Kingfisher, have also warned they could be affected.
Kingfisher chief executive Sir Ian Cheshire told BBC Radio 5 live it was "sensitive" towards any potential disruption.
"We're clearly concerned that if it went further it would impact us and we're just having to wait and see and also try and switch where we can to more domestic sources [for products]. But the market longer-term for us there is still a solid one," he added.
Waitrose managing director Mark Price told 5 live that Western goods due to be exported to Russia might now look to be sold in the UK.
"Europe's a huge market and Britain's just one part of it. But if they do find their way to the UK then that could well put some downward pressure on prices," he said.
Henderson Global Investors analyst Matthew Beesley said other British High Street firms, including Marks and Spencer and WH Smith, could also be affected.
"Marks and Spencer has about 4% of its operating profit currently sourced from Russia - they've got 41 stores there. WH Smith has just won a contract to sell newspapers in the railway stations across the country," he added.
Despite the negative impact of the ban on British firms, for consumers it may be positive,
"The banning of these exports does not mean the goods will not be sold or consumed elsewhere. Households are likely to benefit from the fall in food prices, helping free up income for other spending," Schroders economists Azad Zangana and Craig Botham wrote in an analyst note.
The budget is £11.5bn, according to the budget document produced by the finance department.
It was passed by 62 votes to 30 on Tuesday evening.
The DUP and Sinn Féin voted in favour. The UUP, SDLP, Alliance, TUV, the Green Party, NI21's Basil McCrea, Independent Unionist John McCallister and Independent Claire Sugden opposed it.
Spending on benefits and pensions in Northern Ireland will be nearly £9bn, meaning that overall government expenditure is about £20bn.
The document says the taxes generated in Northern Ireland are "considerably less" than the level of funding received from the Treasury.
It says this shortfall, known as the fiscal deficit, was estimated to be more than £9bn in 2013-14.
Stormont has the power to borrow money under what is known as the Reform and Reinvestment Initiative, introduced in 2002.
The document says the level of outstanding debt in respect of these loans will be an estimated £2.1bn by the end of 2016-17.
The document says this equates to £1,138 per head of the population.
Finance Minister Mervyn Storey told MLAs Stormont is facing significant real term reductions and it is impossible to do more with less.
The budget document is divided up according to the new nine departmental structure which will come into effect after the May Assembly election.
The budget includes increases for the new communities department, as well as health and justice.
By contrast, there are cuts for the department of agriculture, environment and rural affairs, the economy department and the executive office, which is the new title for the office of the first and deputy first ministers.
The document shows no percentage change in the education budget.
The new Stormont economy department is taking responsibility for higher education.
The section of the latest budget document dealing with the department is frank about the difficulties facing local universities.
It says: "Over the last number of years, a clear funding gap has emerged and widened between our own universities and those in other parts of these islands.
"With tuition fees frozen and grant funding reducing, we have been overseeing a reduction in the unit funding provided per student.
"The challenge for Northern Ireland universities is to compete in a very competitive global higher education marketplace.
"If we cannot maintain competitive funding levels, the quality of provision in Northern Ireland will diminish in relation to other parts of the UK and we will end up with a second rate higher education system."
It was the first opportunity for the assembly as a whole to examine the document.
Kent Police said about a dozen teenage inmates threatened staff at Cookham Wood, in Rochester, Kent, on Monday.
The Prison Service said the incident lasted about eight hours.
In 2009 a report branded conditions at Cookham Wood "seriously unsafe". Officials said "significant improvements" had been made since.
A Prison Service spokesperson said: "At 1750 yesterday [Monday] there was an incident of concerted indiscipline at HMYOI Cookham Wood.
"Specially trained prison officers were called to the prison and all the prisoners were returned to their cells at 0200.
"No injuries were sustained by either staff or prisoners."
Cookham Wood was built in 1978, originally for young men, but was changed to meet the need for secure female accommodation at the time.
It was converted to a young offenders' institute in 2007/2008.
Inspectors said in 2009 too many inmates had been placed at Cookham Wood before it was ready following the facility's conversion.
At the time the report was released Prison Service said it did not "wholly accept that the prison was unsafe" but an action plan had immediately been put in place.
Khader Adnan, 37, an Islamic Jihad activist, had been held for more than a year without charge under the Israeli "administrative detention" policy.
The hunger strike had left him in critical condition. He ended it on 28 June following a deal with Israel securing his release.
Gaza-based Islamic Jihad had threatened violence if he died.
Mr Adnan was arrested as part of a wave of Palestinian detentions following the kidnap and murder of three young Israelis in June 2014.
Mr Adnan, who comes from Jenin in the occupied West Bank, has been arrested a number of times by Israel.
He previously held a hunger strike in 2012 to secure his release.
Under "administrative detention" Israel can hold suspects indefinitely for renewable six-month periods. The controversial measure has been criticised by human rights groups.
Aslef's executive committee called strikes on Tuesday 1, Wednesday 2 and Friday 4 August.
Some 61.8% of voting members supported strike action, with 78.4% voting to take part in action short of a strike.
Southern's parent company, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), had offered staff a four-year pay deal worth 23.8%.
Mick Whelan, general secretary, said: "Now is the time for Chris Grayling and the Department for Transport to step in and assist in finding a resolution to a problem they caused."
Turnout among Aslef members in the ballot was 80.8%.

The GTR pay offer would have taken a driver's base salary from £49,001 to £60,683 for the existing 35-hour, four-day week.
A spokesman for GTR said the proposed strike action across one week "is a deliberate move to cause maximum disruption for passengers".
"To do so in protest against an offer to increase pay by 24% is simply breathtaking.
"Commuters, the vast majority of whom are seeing pay rises many times less, will understandably be as shocked and frustrated as we are," he said.
"We absolutely need to modernise in order to increase capacity on this the most congested part of the UK's network, where passenger numbers have doubled in places in as little as 12 years.
"That requires modernisation of infrastructure, trains and working practices. The trade unions must join us in that endeavour."
In a separate dispute with the company, over the introduction of driver-only operation (DOO) on some routes, train drivers have stopped working overtime.
Aslef and the RMT union have been involved in a long-running dispute after GTR replaced conductors with "on-board supervisors", with extra responsibility, including the closing of train doors, switching to the drivers.
He is reported to have warned the incumbent, Ali Bongo, that he could cancel the results of the election if they did not "tally with reality".
Mr Bongo was declared the winner by a narrow margin last Wednesday, but the opposition say the poll was fraudulent.
His rival Jean Ping has called for a general strike and says dozens of his supporters have been killed.
Mr Moundounga is the first senior government minister to resign over the election result.
The Gabonese authorities say three people have died and 105 have been injured following violent clashes and mass arrests that have taken place since the election result was announced.
Other reports put the death toll at at least six.
There have been more than 800 arrests and France says several people with dual French-Gabonese citizenship remain unaccounted for.
The official election result gave Mr Bongo a second seven-year term with 49.8% of the vote to Mr Ping's 48.2% - a margin of 5,594 votes.
Mr Ping won in six out of nine provinces but disputes the result in Mr Bongo's home province of Haut-Ogooue, where turnout was 99.93% and 95% of votes were for the president.
Turnout in the other provinces was between 45% and 71%, according to Gabon's interior ministry.

The first minister was speaking following a meeting with Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond.
She said Scotland could take a "proportionate number" of refugees, about 2,000, as part of the UK government's resettlement programme.
The UK government has pledged to take 20,000 refugees from camps Syria's borders over the next five years.
Ms Sturgeon has called for more to be done over the refugee crisis, including help for those refugees who have already arrived in Europe in their thousands and are seeking asylum.
Ms Sturgeon and Mr Hammond were also due to discuss the EU vote, a date for which has yet to be set.
The SNP government said it would campaign in favour of remaining within the European Union.
Ministers in Edinburgh believed it would be wrong for the UK to leave unless a majority of voters from each of the nations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland backed it.

Two Palestinians killed four rabbis in West Jerusalem before being shot dead. A policeman later died of his wounds.
Mr Netanyahu vowed to "settle the score with every terrorist" saying that those "who want to uproot us from our state and capital... will not succeed".
Jerusalem has seen weeks of unrest, partly fuelled by tension over a disputed holy site.
Tuesday's attack was the deadliest in Jerusalem for six years. There were about 25 worshippers in the synagogue at the time and at least seven people were also seriously wounded.
Mr Netanyahu ordered the homes of the attackers to be destroyed, saying: "We are in a battle over Jerusalem, our eternal capital."
He said that this was a "terrible attack at a time of prayer" and condemned what he termed the "shouts of joy" from the Palestinian-controlled Gaza Strip after the attacks.
He said he was strengthening security on the streets of Jerusalem, without giving details.
Mr Netanyahu called on the people of Israel to "stand together as one" but said that "no-one must take the law into their own hands, even if spirits are riled and blood is boiling".
Analysis: BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen
The two sides are further apart than ever. Their conflict used to be, at root, about the possession of land. But since Israel captured the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in 1967 it has become more defined by religion.
Perhaps that was why the Palestinians chose a synagogue for the attack that killed the four Jewish worshippers and a policeman.
Many Palestinians believe Israel is preparing to allow Jews to pray in the compound of the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, the third holiest site for Muslims after Mecca and Medina.
The Israeli government has denied that emphatically. But Palestinians listen to calls from hard right-wing Jewish nationalists and believe it might happen.
Jeremy Bowen: No light on the horizon
What makes Jerusalem so holy
He added: "I call on all leaders of countries in the Western world: I want to see outrage over this massacre."
US President Barack Obama has condemned the attack, saying: "There is and can be no justification for such attacks against innocent civilians."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also issued a condemnation of "the attack on Jewish worshippers in their place of prayer and [of] the killing of civilians no matter who is doing it".
Mr Netanyahu said this was not enough.
He accused Mr Abbas and militant group Hamas of spreading "blood libel" that a bus driver who reportedly took his own life in East Jerusalem on Monday had been "murdered by Jews".
Hamas had said the Jerusalem attack was in revenge for the death of the driver, who was found hanged inside a vehicle. His family did not accept the post-mortem findings of suicide.
Mustafa Barghouti, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, said he held Mr Netanyahu responsible "for every bloodshed that has happened, whether for Palestinians or Israelis".
He said: "I want to remind you and remind everybody that since the beginning of this year, the Israeli army and Israeli settlers have killed 2,260 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank."
The vast majority of those deaths occurred in the summer conflict between Israel and militants in Gaza, which also left 73 dead on the Israeli side.
The attack happened at the Bnei Torah Kehilat Yaakov synagogue and religious seminary site on Harav Shimon Agassi Street - home to a largely Orthodox Jewish community in the Har Nof neighbourhood.
The attackers were armed with a pistol and meat cleavers.
The rabbis who died were Moshe Twersky, 59, head of the seminary; Arieh Kupinsky, 43; and Kalman Levine, 55, all of whom also held US passports. The fourth victim, Avraham Goldberg, 68, was also a UK citizen.
The funerals of the four were held in Jerusalem on Tuesday, with thousands in attendance.
It was later confirmed that Zidan Seif, a 30-year-old traffic officer who arrived at the scene and came under attack, had died of his wounds in Hadassah hospital.
The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said it had carried out the attack.
Palestinians identified the attackers as cousins Uday and Ghassan Abu Jamal, from East Jerusalem.
After the attack, there were reports of clashes in the Jabal Mukaber district of East Jerusalem, as Israeli security forces moved in to make arrests that included some members of the attackers' families.
Tensions in the city have risen in recent weeks, with two deadly attacks by Palestinian militants on pedestrians in the city and announcements by Israel of plans to build more settler homes in East Jerusalem.
The Jerusalem compound that has been the focus of much of the unrest - known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif - is the holiest site in Judaism, while the al-Aqsa Mosque within the compound is the third holiest site in Islam.
Orthodox Jewish campaigners in Israel are challenging the longstanding ban on Jews praying at the compound.
Palestinians want East Jerusalem, occupied by Israel since 1967, as the capital of a future state.

An inquest into the deaths and that of the pilot heard all four victims were "incinerated".
North Hampshire Coroner's Court was told the plane overshot the runway and burst into flames.
Coroner Andrew Bradley said they all died in an "intense" blaze.
The inquest comes two years after the crash which happened in July 2015 when a jet crashed into a car auction site.
Bin Laden's brother-in-law, Zuhair Hashim, half-sister, Sana Mohammed Bin Laden, and her mother Raja Bashir Hashim were killed along with pilot Mazen Al-Aqeel Da'jah Salem.
They all survived the crash impact but were "incinerated" by the fire, the inquest heard.
A report previously published by the Air Accidents Investigations Branch (AAIB) said emergency warnings prior to landing may have "saturated the pilot's mental capacity".
AAIB inspector Afandi Darlington told the inquest the Bin Laden family were found close to the plane door.
He said: "They may have attempted to vacate the aircraft but that attempt proved unsuccessful."
Mr Trump has declared himself a "unifier", but he is strongly opposed by veteran Republican politicians.
Senator Lindsey Graham warned on Wednesday that Mr Trump would lose in November's election.
Meanwhile retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who has performed poorly, has signalled he may drop out of the race.
In a statement on Wednesday, he said he saw "no path forward" for his presidential campaign and will not attend Thursday's TV debate.
But he stopped short of ending his race completely.
Meanwhile, former nominee Mitt Romney has said he would make a speech on Thursday in which he is expected to challenge Mr Trump.
He has been fiercely critical of the businessman, whose hardline stance on issues like immigration goes beyond the Republican mainstream.
His victories on so-called Super Tuesday consolidated his position as the most likely Republican candidate to vie for the White House against the Democratic nomination.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz walked away with three states, bringing his total to four, while Florida Senator Marco Rubio won his first state (Minnesota) in the primary race to date.

Several party leaders, including House Speaker Paul Ryan and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, have spoken out against Donald Trump's controversial policies and positions in recent days.
His latest controversy centres on his failure to disavow David Duke, a leader of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan, who endorsed him. He later said he had on several occasions in the past disavowed Mr Duke.
Mr Ryan forcefully denounced the real estate mogul on Tuesday, saying: "They must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry. This party does not prey on people's prejudices."
"Let me make it perfectly clear, Senate Republicans condemn David Duke and the KKK, and his racism," Senator and majority leader Mitch McConnell commented.
Influential congressman Peter King joked he would leave politics if Mr Trump became the nominee.
And Marco Rubio indicated in his speech on Tuesday that the Republican establishment was unlikely to back the former reality TV star.
"If this was anybody else as a front-runner, there'd be people right now saying 'Let's all rally around the front-runner,'" he said, adding, "that will never happen with Donald Trump".
According to the New York Times, some party donors are already trying to raise funds for an anti-Trump effort.
Meanwhile, The Center for Public Integrity reports that Republican super PACs ran as many as 8,500 adverts in the run up to Super Tuesday to try to discredit Donald Trump's election campaign.
Mr Graham warned that Republicans would "lose to Hillary Clinton" with Mr Trump as their party nomination.
"We may be in a position where we have to rally around Ted Cruz as the only way to stop Trump," he said. "And I'm not so sure that would work."
Mrs Clinton also won seven states on Tuesday, consolidating her lead in the Democratic race over rival Bernie Sanders.
Speaking to the federation's annual conference, she said more savings would have to be made in the next five years.
And she accused leaders of the body of "scaremongering" over the effect of cuts while crime was falling.
Earlier, chairman Steve White said the bobby on the beat was becoming an "endangered species" and neighbourhood policing was under serious threat.
However, Mrs May told federation members: "I have to tell you that this kind of scaremongering does nobody any good - it doesn't serve you, it doesn't serve the officers you represent, and it doesn't serve the public."
She listed warnings by the Police Federation - which represents rank and file officers in England and Wales - over recent years about "demoralised" and "angry" officers, along with claims members of the public were being put in danger.
"The truth is that crime fell in each of those years, it's fallen further since, and our country is safer than it's ever been," she said.
"So please - for your sake and for the thousands of police officers who work so hard every day - this crying wolf has to stop."
The home secretary announced plans for a new police bill to extend police-led prosecutions, overhaul the complaints system, and change the use of bail.
The government also plans to bring an end to the practice of using police cells to detain people with mental health issues, she said.
Danny Shaw, BBC home affairs correspondent, said members gave the home secretary "polite applause" at the end of her speech.
One delegate, referring to the last five years, told the home secretary in a Q&A session after her speech: "I've never known a time in the last 25 years when police morale has been so low.
"Officers feel that they are under sustained attack from the media, the government and additionally the Home Office. At times, our only allies are the public that we serve."
In his keynote speech to the conference in Bournemouth earlier, Mr White said neighbourhood policing was "just one of the endangered species in the new streamlined barren policing landscape".
He told Mrs May: "You seriously need to listen. And do not make the mistake of dismissing what you hear thinking 'Here they go again, the Police Federation, moaning and scaremongering'.
"No. Here we are again, the Police Federation telling it like it is."
By Danny Shaw, BBC home affairs correspondent
It didn't start well. As Theresa May arrived at the seafront conference venue she was approached by a man in shirtsleeves who wanted to talk about the erosion of his pension.
His name was Craig Tiernan, a police officer from Dorset. He told Mrs May that pensions legislation which he thought would protect his income in retirement had been "annihilated".
Before PC Tiernan could develop his argument further he was ushered away - but that awkward encounter was a sign of what was to come in the conference hall as officers queued up to tell the home secretary how cuts were affecting their ability to do their job.
Mrs May's carefully researched claim about serial scaremongering aside, she took most of the federation's criticisms in good humour and offered the federation an olive branch: let's work together to reform the police, she said.
Last year's head teacher, ticking off federation members as if they were naughty schoolchildren, was this year's old friend. Ten seconds of clapping at the end of her speech suggests relations between the home secretary and the Fed have thawed a little - but not a lot.
The debate comes as a survey for the organisation suggested 33 out of the 43 English and Welsh forces had scrapped, reduced or merged their neighbourhood policing teams since 2010.
In recent years, neighbourhood policing teams have been made up of police officers and police community support officers.
The federation says officers were once able to build links with their local areas, but are now often only able to concentrate on responding to emergencies or carrying out pre-arranged visits to investigate crimes.
The survey suggests:
Ministers called the funding settlement "challenging", but said forces had enough resources and crime was falling.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr White said the Police Federation considered the results of its survey "deeply worrying".
He said: "What is happening is chief constables are having to make very, very difficult decisions. Do you put resources into policing 999 calls? Or do you put resources into neighbourhoods? It is really really challenging."
Responding to the federation's survey, Policing Minister Mike Penning said decisions on how neighbourhood policing teams were resourced and deployed were an operational matter for a force's chief constable, in association with its police and crime commissioner.
He said: "This flexible approach allows forces to respond to the individual needs and priorities of their local communities.
"The reduction in crime seen nationwide demonstrates there is no simple link between officer numbers and crime levels, the visibility of the police in the community and the quality of service provided."
When she addressed the Police Federation conference a year ago, Mrs May said the way the Police Federation was structured, governed and financed needed to be reformed.
Federation members later agreed to implement all 36 recommendations made by an independent panel.
United Utilities needs to stop taking supplies from Ennerdale Water in the Lake District, which is a protected wildlife habitat.
Instead it wants a new 62-mile (100km) pipeline from Thirlmere reservoir to provide water to about 150,000 people.
Allerdale Council is the final local authority in the county to approve the company's planning application.
United Utilities estimates the project, which also includes new treatment works and pumping stations, will create about 400 jobs.
Areas around Whitehaven, Egremont, Workington, Maryport, Cockermouth and Wigton will receive their water via the new pipeline when it is completed in 2022.
The route will roughly follow the A591 from Thirlmere to a planned new treatment works near Cockermouth.
The plan was approved by Allerdale Council despite objections from several groups including Friends of the Lake District and the Ramblers, who claimed it would significantly damage the landscape.
United Utilities said water extraction from Ennerdale had to stop to meet EU environmental regulations and to prevent predicted shortages to supplies.
A spokesman added: "This is the culmination of several years of detailed planning and consultation.
"We've worked to develop a scheme which delivers major long-term benefits for west Cumbria, while seeking to minimise traffic inconvenience and safeguarding the environment during construction.
"The new scheme will ease the pressure on sensitive local water sources and provide a more secure supply for homes and businesses for the decades to come."
Work on the new pipeline is due to begin in March 2017.
The interior ministry said the move would enable a "robust" investigation.
The attack, the worst in Turkey's modern history, triggered widespread anger against the government.
Turkey's president visited the site of the bombing on Wednesday. The prime minister said both Islamic State and the PKK could have played a role.
Turkish officials have said two suicide bombers carried out Saturday's attack, which targeted crowds gathering for a rally against violence between Turkish government forces and the outlawed PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party).
Initially, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said IS, the PKK and far-left groups were all capable of such an attack. On Monday, he said IS was the prime suspect.
According to Turkey's Hurriyet newspaper, the two suicide bombers have been identified as Yunus Emre Alagoz and Omer Deniz Dundar.
The first was the brother of the man who carried out a bombing blamed on IS in the southern Turkish town of Suruc in July. The second is said to have been in Syria on two occasions.
Authorities said on Wednesday that they had detained two people with alleged ties to the PKK on suspicion of having prior knowledge of the attack.
But the possible collaboration between IS and the PKK suggested by Mr Davutoglu would be unusual, as the two groups are sworn enemies, the BBC's Mark Lowen reports from Istanbul.

In his first public comments after the bombing, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan admitted there had been intelligence failings.
"There must undoubtedly be a mistake, a shortcoming in some place. Of what dimension? This will emerge after examinations," he said.
"If there's any negligence of duty, then both the prime minister and related units will take steps needed."
There has been widespread anger against the government for failing to prevent the attack. There has also been consternation that four days on from the attack Mr Erdogan has yet to address the nation, our correspondent says.
Mr Erdogan laid flowers for the victims as he visited the site of the attack with Finnish President Sauli Niinisto on Wednesday.
Turkey is politically polarised, and a ceasefire between the government and the PKK broke down in July.
The country is holding a national election on 1 November, a rerun of a vote in June in which the pro-Kurdish HDP won parliamentary seats for the first time, depriving Mr Erdogan's AK Party of its majority.
Most of the victims of the Ankara attack were HDP activists, and the party has said it was specifically targeted.
Critics of the Turkish government believe it is using IS as a scapegoat, and have alleged that murky elements of a so-called "deep state" are to blame.

Pupils at the Royal High School and at Tynecastle High in Gorgie were taken from their classes on Monday at 10:30.
Separately, two schools in Glasgow - High School of Glasgow and Hillhead High - were searched after threatening calls were received.
They were not evacuated and police said nothing untoward was found in either Edinburgh nor Glasgow.
On the Edinburgh evacuations, a Police Scotland spokesman said: "Two schools in Edinburgh were evacuated at around 10:30 on Monday 1 February following threats being made to three schools via telephone.
"Officers attended and searched all three premises, and nothing untoward was found.
"The schools are now operating as normal and inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding this."
A further Edinburgh school, Boroughmuir High, also received a call but but pupils were not required to leave their classrooms.

The 31-year-old Briton, who retires after London 2012, adds a second gold to the one she won in the sprint at the Beijing Games in 2008.
Pendleton hit the front at the bell and held off a late charge from China's Guo Shuang, with Hong Kong's Wai Sze Lee a surprise bronze medallist.
"I can barely believe it right now," Pendleton said.
"Thank you so much to everyone who's helped me get here. The crowd have been fantastic and it really helped me today."
Australia's Anna Meares, the pre-race favourite, could only finish fifth.
The race - a frenetic affair that starts with the riders following a small motorbike for five-and-a-half laps before being released to sprint the final 625 metres - came only half an hour after the claimed gold in a new world record.
Britain have won seven out of 10 track cycling gold medals at the London 2012 Olympics
And that superlative performance followed another world record display in their qualifying round.
By the time the six riders in the last race of the evening took to the track, the noise was deafening.
Not that this race needed much of a build-up.
Meares v Pendleton was one of the most eagerly anticipated contests coming into these Games, with the 28-year-old Queenslander expected to get the better of her British rival in the keirin, an event she has won at the last two World Championships.
But Pendleton looked in great form during her ultimately fruitless rides
The Bedfordshire-born star was disqualified from the event, with partner Jess Varnish, when Pendleton slightly mistimed a changeover.

The raw speed she exhibited, however, was noticeable, and expectations of a keirin classic grew when both Meares and Pendleton were comfortable winners of their semi-finals.
But British cycling's glamour girl blew her rival away in the final with a burst down the back straight that catapulted her from fourth to first with 250m to ride.
Guo pushed hard but there was no getting around Pendleton, who now looks to have an excellent chance of finishing her career with another gold medal in the women's sprint, which starts on Sunday.
She has won six world titles in that event, as well as her 2008 Olympic crown.
The group, which runs bus and rail services in the UK and has operations in North America, said revenues rose 4.5% to £2.9bn in the year to 30 April.
Pre-tax profits were 2% higher at £180.7m.
Profits in its regional bus arm rose 3% to £147.4m, with revenues rising by 4.8% to more than £1bn.
About 2.8 million passenger journeys are currently made on Stagecoach buses each day across the UK.
Perth-based Stagecoach said it placed orders worth more than £90m on new greener buses for 2014/15, with the record figure highlighting its confidence in "continuing to get people out of their cars and back on board the bus".
It added: "The market conditions are positive with a combination of a rising population, increasing road congestion, the cost of running a car and widespread concern for the natural environment providing good potential for increased bus usage across the UK."
The group's megabus.com business has continued to expand in the UK, mainland Europe and North America, where it has added new services in Florida and North and South Carolina.
Stagecoach said it believed there was "a large market for high-quality, good-value inter-city coach travel".
The group's rail arm saw profits fall by 17% to £34.3m, but revenues lifted 4.2% to £1.2bn. Stagecoach said the division performed in line with expectations.
The group's rail operations include South West Trains, Island Line and East Midlands Trains and it has a 49% shareholding in Virgin Rail, which runs the West Coast franchise.
Stagecoach recently failed to secure the new Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern rail franchise, but this was offset by the award of a new West Coast franchise until 2017.
The company said positive discussions were continuing with the Department for Transport with a view to agreeing franchise extensions or direct awards at South West Trains and East Midlands Trains.
Commenting on the results, chief executive Martin Griffiths said: "We have met our expectations for the year.
"Across the group, we have a strong set of locally-managed businesses which are improving services for our customers, supporting the economy and communities, and adding value for our investors."
Nadine Burden died at the scene in Toronto Road, Portsmouth, on Saturday.
Victoria Arthur, 43, of Milton Road, Portsmouth was remanded in custody to appear at Winchester Crown Court on Thursday.
Julie Palmer, 52, also of Portsmouth, was charged with assisting an offender. She is due to appear at Winchester Crown Court on 1 March.
Both women appeared before Portsmouth Magistrates Court earlier.
Investigations into the attack continue with police still appealing for information.
The 30-year-old was working in the shop on Station Road, Windygates, when a man entered and attacked her with a weapon before fleeing.
He reportedly waited for customers to leave before attacking the woman and left her with serious head injuries.
Officers said nothing was taken during the attack, which happened at about 18:00 on Friday.
The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy.
Her attacker is said to be Asian and in his early 30s with thinning hair.
He was wearing a black bomber jacket and black trousers.
Det Insp Paul Dick appealed for witnesses. He said: "We are currently investigating this vicious attack and are eager to trace the man responsible as soon as possible.
"I would appeal to those who may have been either within the village shop or in the immediate area near to the time of the attack to come forward as they may have seen the man enter the premises or loitering about in the area around the time of the incident.
"I would urge anyone who has information, including those using public transport in the wider Fife area on Friday, February 3, to get in touch with police immediately."
Gormley suffered a serious knee injury after joining Posh in 2015 before moving to Scotland in August.
Posh director of football Barry Fry said Gormley was "disillusioned with football" and has now returned to his native Northern Ireland.
Fry added that Gormley was seeking to return to part-time football.
He joined Posh having twice broken the record for number of goals scored by a Cliftonville player in one season.
But the Northern Irishman did not score after moving into the full-time game.
Fry said that Peterborough, St Johnstone and Gormley have all written letters to Fifa for special dispensation to cancel his contract by mutual consent outside the January window.
The Games, which act as an Olympics for smaller islands, will see 2,500 competitors from 23 different islands around the world compete in 14 sports.
Two years ago the Manx team finished second to hosts Jersey, having topped the medal table in Bermuda in 2013.
Island manager Jill Gillings said it is a "very strong and capable" Manx team.
Chief minister Howard Quayle added: "I hope our athletes will once again rise to the big occasion in Gotland and return home with lasting memories, new friendships and an impressive haul of medals."
"The Isle of Man has a proud record at the event and I look forward to the Manx flag flying at the venues and the medal ceremonies."
The multi-sport event is held every two years and is seen as a springboard for athletes and valuable experience for larger Games.
This year's event features 14 different sports, including golf, athletics, swimming and shooting.
Runner Hannah Riley and cyclist Elliot Baxter will be the Isle of Man's flag bearers at the opening and closing ceremonies.
Both made their debut in Gotland in 1999, with Riley going on to achieve 18 medals and Baxter 22.
Meanwhile, the youngest member of the team, 13-year-old gymnast Lucy Worthington, will be the island's water carrier.
The water ceremony is a unique tradition signifying the importance water plays in island life.
The Minister for Education and Children Graham Cregeen MHK said: "It will be a proud moment for competitors to don Manx colours and represent the island in all 14 sports."
The Games will be held on the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea from 24 to 30 June.
Forward Marshall has retired aged only 26 after being out of action all this season and playing just five games for the club in 2015-16.
Last September, Connacht's Ireland prop Nathan White was forced to halt his career for similar reasons.
"Unfortunately, my time as a player has come to an end earlier than I would have wished," said Marshall on Tuesday.
"It has been a difficult time not being able to play since the injury but having had some time away from the game, I can appreciate how fortunate I've also been in my career."
Two arm injuries restricted Marshall to only a couple of appearances in the early part of 2015-16 and he then suffered a head injury late in Connacht's Pro12-winning campaign after signing a contract extension last March.
Dublin-born Marshall has not played this season and after taking medical advice, has now decided to end his career.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Connacht head physio Garrett Coughlan and the medical team who have given me wonderful care and support over the past eleven months," added Marshall.
"I am looking forward to continuing in my financial studies and the new career path that is ahead of me, but I will always be appreciative of the lessons that Willie [Ruane] and Pat [Lam] taught me during my time at Connacht Rugby."
Marshall won 10 Ireland Under-20 caps and made 20 appearances for Leinster before moving to Connacht prior to the 2015-16 season.
The back row forward played for an Ireland XV in a non-cap game against the Barbarians in May 2015 before representing an Emerging Ireland team in the Tbilisi Cup in Georgia later that summer.
Connacht coach Pat Lam described the former Leinster player as "an excellent team man".
"I have no doubt that he will go on to achieve great things in his business and life pursuits going forward," added Lam.
A survey by Breast Cancer Now found there was confusion over who funded bisphosphonates, normally used to treat the bone disease osteoporosis.
One in 10 deaths from breast cancer could be avoided if they were given to all eligible women, it said.
The drugs have been shown to cut the risk of cancer spreading to the bone.
Bisphosphonates were originally licensed to treat bone fractures in adults with advanced breast cancer.
But a study published in The Lancet last year found the drugs could also help women treated for early breast cancer after the menopause.
They were shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer spreading to the bone by 28% and the risk of dying from breast cancer by 18% after 10 years.
The drugs are estimated to cost 43p on average per day per patient and can be taken for about three years.
However, charity Breast Cancer Now says thousands of women are potentially missing out on taking these inexpensive drugs because of the lack of national guidance on who should fund them.
The charity says it is not clear whether the hospital trust, the local clinical commissioning group (CCG) or NHS England central funding should be paying for them.
In a survey of 125 breast cancer doctors by the UK Breast Cancer Group, less than a quarter said they could routinely offer the drugs to their patients.
Baroness Morgan, chief executive at Breast Cancer Now, said women's lives were needlessly being put at risk.
"These are cheap and widely available drugs, and the overwhelming evidence of their ability to save lives should have changed practice by now," she said.
"But they are still sitting on the shelf, blocked by bureaucratic inertia."
Baroness Morgan called on the NHS to give clear guidance on how the drugs were funded, in order to offer the best possible cancer treatment.
The charity said prescribing the drugs to all eligible patients - potentially an extra 27,000 women - could save the NHS money in the long term because these patients would no longer need bone density scans and fewer would go on to develop secondary breast cancer.
Prof Rob Coleman, professor of medical oncology at the University of Sheffield, said: "It should be an absolute priority for every clinician and commissioner involved in the provision of breast cancer services to ensure this simple and safe treatment is made available, as a matter of urgency."
NHS England said decisions on the funding of bisphosphonates were currently made locally but it was awaiting new guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
These guidelines, on the diagnosis and management of early and locally advanced breast cancer, are expected to be published in July 2018.
The Conservative MP joined the Delete Blood Cancer UK register in July 2013 to raise awareness of the need for blood stem cell donation.
Speaking of the donation, Mr Glen said: "On signing myself up I never thought I would hear from them again but now I have this amazing opportunity."
The transfer will take place at a London clinic on Wednesday morning.
The donations help people with blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma where cancerous cells are replaced with healthy cells from the donor.
This can be a life-saving treatment for patients.
Due to patient confidentiality rules, no details will be released about the donor recipient.
Deirdre Taylor from Blood Cancer UK said: "Less than half of those in the UK in need of a lifesaving blood stem cell donation find a matching donor.
"Therefore the patient who John is donating some of his blood stem cells to today is very lucky that he took a few minutes a year and a half ago to register to donate some of his.
"That patient needs them for their survival and John is likely to be the only person registered who had a matching tissue type to the patient."
The computing giant said software vulnerabilities hoarded by governments had caused "widespread damage".
The latest virus exploits a flaw in a version of Microsoft Windows first identified by US intelligence.
There are fears of further "ransomware" attacks as people return to work on Monday.
Many firms have had experts working over the weekend to prevent new infections. The virus took control of users' files and demanded $300 (£230) payments to restore access.
The spread of the virus slowed over the weekend but the respite might only be brief, experts have warned. More than 200,000 computers have been affected so far.
A statement from Microsoft president and chief legal officer Brad Smith on Sunday criticised the way governments store up information about security flaws in computer systems.
"We have seen vulnerabilities stored by the CIA show up on WikiLeaks, and now this vulnerability stolen from the NSA has affected customers around the world," he wrote.
"An equivalent scenario with conventional weapons would be the US military having some of its Tomahawk missiles stolen."
He added: "The governments of the world should treat this attack as a wake-up call."
Microsoft said it had released a Windows security update in March to tackle the problem involved in the latest attack, but many users were yet to run it.
"As cybercriminals become more sophisticated, there is simply no way for customers to protect themselves against threats unless they update their systems," Mr Smith said.
There are going to be some tough questions on Monday for those institutions which didn't do enough to keep their networks secure, as well as the organisations that were best placed to stop it happening in the first place - the NSA and Microsoft.
The NSA keeps a chest of cyberweapons to itself so it can hit targets, but Microsoft has long argued that this is dangerous. If there is a flaw in Windows, the company said, surely the safest thing to do is to let its team know straight away so it can be fixed.
But then Microsoft also needs to consider what obligation it has to update all users - not just the ones who pay extra for security on older systems.
Updating your computer if you're an individual is a piece of cake, but for a network the size of Britain's National Health Service? Tough - time-consuming, expensive and complex.
For a company like Microsoft to say it won't keep those systems safe unless they shell out more money, then that in itself is something of a ransom.
Meanwhile Europol's chief told the BBC that that the ransomware was designed to allow "infection of one computer to quickly spread across the networks", adding: "That's why we're seeing these numbers increasing all the time."
Although a temporary fix earlier slowed the infection rate, the attackers had now released a new version of the virus, he said.
A UK security researcher known as "MalwareTech", who helped to limit the ransomware attack, predicted "another one coming... quite likely on Monday".
MalwareTech, who wants to remain anonymous, was hailed as an "accidental hero" after registering a domain name to track the spread of the virus, which actually ended up halting it.
Becky Pinkard, from Digital Shadows, a UK-based cyber-security firm, told AFP news agency that it would be easy for the initial attackers or "copy-cat authors" to change the virus code so it is difficult to guard against.
"Even if a fresh attack does not materialise on Monday, we should expect it soon afterwards," she said.
In England, 48 National Health Service (NHS) trusts reported problems at hospitals, doctor surgeries or pharmacies, and 13 NHS organisations in Scotland were also affected.
Other organisations targeted worldwide included Germany's rail network Deutsche Bahn, Spanish telecommunications operator Telefonica, French carmaker Renault, US logistics giant FedEx and Russia's Interior Ministry.
The Aberdeen-based company said it was continuing to be hit by a downturn in the oil and gas industry.
It said it had taken measures to cut costs but had not been able to meet levels needed and 130 employees may now be made redundant.
Pilots union Balpa has called for a summit to be held urgently on jobs security and said it would be fighting to save the threatened posts.
Consultation between Bristow and unions will now get under way.
The Kent captain put on a superb batting display, hitting 20 fours and four sixes in his 181-ball innings to move Kent's lead from 95 to 426 runs.
He was well supported by Sean Dickson (89) and Darren Stevens (71 not out) as the away side scored at over four runs per over to set up the chance of a win.
Bad light stopped play at 16:40 BST, leaving Sussex a difficult final day.
Kent began the day on 82-2 with a narrow lead of 95 and after they lost nightwatchman James Tredwell, Dickson and Northeast put on a 123-run partnership to take charge of the match.
Dickson was trapped lbw by Ajmal Shahzad (3-96) and Will Gidman went cheaply, but Stevens and Northeast pressed the accelerator with powerful strokes to turn the screw on Sussex before poor light saw play finally abandoned at 18:00 BST.
With no rain forecast for day four, Sussex's batsmen will face a battle to draw the match, while Kent require 10 wickets to complete a second Division Two win of the season.
The Local Government Association feels that with lots of council-run schools flourishing, they should be allowed to take over failing academies.
By contrast, too many academy chains are performing poorly, argues the LGA.
The government said high-performing schools could share their expertise after becoming academies.
Bill Watkin, director of the SSAT Schools, Students and Teachers network, identified problems with the LGA plan.
"A school wanting to sponsor an academy would have to set up a trust first - a company limited by guarantee - and that trust would be the sponsor. An academy wanting to do so would already have set up a trust in order to become an academy."
Currently 80% of council-run schools have been rated good or outstanding by schools watchdog Ofsted
Official performance figures for both the 20 largest academy chains and 100 councils with five or more secondary schools, suggest councils are better at adding value to pupil performance, the LGA points out.
The value-added measure uses pupils' performance in the last year of primary school to predict their expected performance at GCSE and compares this with their actual results.
If pupils do better than expected at GCSE, their school is said to have added value.
In 2014, only three of the 20 largest academy chains exceeded expectations when it came to pupils' GCSE results, compared with 44 out of the 100 councils, according to the figures.
This calls into question "the capacity of high-quality sponsors to take on additional schools," says the LGA.
The body is backing an amendment to the Education and Adoption Bill which would allow council-run schools and local authorities to sponsor academies.
Another amendment would require potential sponsors' success in adding value to be taken into account.
"Councils are education improvement partners and not a barrier to change," said Roy Perry, chairman of the LGA's children and young people board, speaking ahead of the bill's House of Lords committee stage next week.
"When putting in place support for a school to improve outcomes for children, the focus should be on the quality and capability of a sponsor, whether that is a sponsor academy, a high-performing maintained school, or a local authority.
"For parents, who are far more concerned with the quality of their child's education in the classroom than the legal status of the school, it is the council that they still frequently and naturally turn to for advice and support. However, councils' current powers to intervene are strictly limited."
The National Union of Teachers urged the government and the House of Lords to accept the proposal.
"Instead of undermining the valuable work and experience of local authorities in education, the government should be building the capacity of local authorities to support schools and to provide much needed services to them," said general secretary Christine Blower.
Dr Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers agreed the plan would help raise standards in struggling schools as "the quality of academy sponsors varies hugely".
Mr Watkin pointed out academy chains would inevitably have poorer results than council-run schools.
"Academy sponsors are taking on the most vulnerable and fragile schools. So of course their attainment is going to be lower compared with maintained schools which are a bigger range of schools."
A Department for Education spokesman said academies were "a vital part" of the government's plan for education.
"All 'good' and 'outstanding' schools have the freedom to convert to academy status either as stand-alone converters or as part of a multi-academy trust to share their expertise with other schools."
For weaker schools "becoming an academy with the support of a strong sponsor helps create the conditions for rapid and sustained improvement", said the spokesman.
It has long been suspected that rhyolites from the northern Preseli Hills helped build the monument.
But research by National Museum Wales and Leicester University has identified their source to within 70m (230ft) of Craig Rhos-y-felin, near Pont Saeson.
The museum's Dr Richard Bevins said the find would help experts work out how the stones were moved to Wiltshire.
For nine months Dr Bevins, keeper of geology at National Museum Wales, and Dr Rob Ixer of Leicester University collected and identified samples from rock outcrops in Pembrokeshire to try to find the origins of rhyolite debitage rocks that can be found at Stonehenge.
By detailing the mineral content and the textural relationships within the rock, a process known as petrography, they found that 99% of the samples could be matched to rocks found in this particular set of outcrops.
Rhyolitic rocks at Rhos-y-felin, between Ffynnon-groes (Crosswell) and Brynberian, differ from all others in south Wales, they said, which helps locate almost all of Stonehenge's rhyolites to within hundreds of square metres.
Within that area, the rocks differ on a scale of metres or tens of metres, allowing Dr Bevins and Dr Ixer to match some Stonehenge rock samples even more precisely to a point at the extreme north-eastern end of Rhos-y-felin.
Dr Rob Ixer of Leicester University called the discovery of the source of the rocks "quite unexpected and exciting".
"Being able to provenance any archaeologically significant rock so precisely is remarkable," he said.
"However, given continued perseverance, we are determined that we shall uncover the origins of most, if not all of the Stonehenge bluestones so allowing archaeologists to continue their speculations well into a third century."
With the location identified, archaeologists will now be able to dig to try and uncover how the stones from Pembrokeshire reached Stonehenge.
"Many have asked the question over the years, how the stones got from Pembrokeshire to Stonehenge," said Dr Bevins. "Was it human transport? Was it due to ice transport?
"Thanks to geological research, we now have a specific source for the rhyolite stones from which to work and an opportunity for archaeologists to answer the question that has been widely debated.
"It is important now that the research continues."
Work is continuing to identify the source of four other stones at Stonehenge which do not come from Rhos-y-felin, he said.
Experts have long theorised on how the stones were transported from Pembrokeshire to the Stonehenge site when the monument was built from around 3000 BC to 1600 BC.
Perceived wisdom had it that the giant slabs were moved via raft, up the Bristol Channel and River Avon.
But as Pont Saeson is to the north of the Preselis some believe its unlikely that they would have been able to navigate the terrain in order to get the enormous rocks to the coast.
An alternative theory was that nature drove the stone to Stonehenge, in the path of an Ice Age glacier, although the absence of any other Welsh rock in the region seemed to have ruled out the possibility.
In April 2000 a National Lottery Heritage Lottery Fund plan was launched to replicate the 240-mile (386 km) journey of a giant stone from west Wales to Salisbury Plain, by land and sea.
The millennium bluestone project, which tried to use only muscle power and the technology of the ancients, ended in disaster when the stone sank in Milford Haven estuary.
The Selective Service System (SSS) said the error occurred after a clerk neglected to select the century in a search for newly eligible young men.
It sent 14,250 notices to Pennsylvania men born 1893-97 in addition to 1993-97 before discovering the error.
The men are all almost certainly dead, as the youngest would be 117.
Male US citizens must register for the draft shortly after their 18th birthdays and all male immigrants between ages 18-25 must register.
But the draft has not been in effect since the Vietnam War, and the US military is now an entirely volunteer force.
Chuck Huey, 73, of Kingston, Pennsylvania, said he got a notice addressed to his late grandfather Bert Huey, a World War One veteran who was born in 1894 and died in 1995 age 100.
"I said, 'Geez, what the hell is this about?' It said he was subject to heavy fines and imprisonment if he didn't sign up for the draft board," Mr Huey told the Associated Press news agency.
"We were just totally dumbfounded."
In a statement, the SSS said it regretted "any inconvenience caused the families of these men and assures them that the error has been corrected and no action is required on their part".
Agency spokesman Pat Schuback said they did not catch the error because Pennsylvania used a two-digit code for the year of birth, meaning those born in 1893 and in 1993 had the same code.
"It's never happened before," Mr Schuback said.
Pennsylvania transport spokeswoman Jan McKnight said the error occurred when a clerk at the department, which manages driving licence information, transferred records to the SSS but forgot to select only the 20th Century.
She said the state was taking steps to prevent the error from happening again.
"We're really sorry," Ms McKnight said. "We apologise."
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) would dwarf previous free trade deals. The European Commission estimates that by 2027 it could boost the size of the EU economy by €120bn (£94bn; $152bn) - equal to 0.5% of GDP - and the US economy by €95bn (0.4% of GDP).
European opponents argue that TTIP risks watering down EU regulations in the drive to remove trade barriers.
There are tensions over TTIP in the European Parliament, whose draft recommendations proved too controversial for MEPs to vote on it this week. What divides the EU and US on food safety?
GM crops
The transatlantic dispute over genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has been raging for years.
American and European biotech firms are frustrated that the EU currently allows cultivation of just one GM plant - MON810 maize. It is grown only in five EU countries, on just 1.5% of the total land area devoted to maize crops.
The European Commission - the EU's top regulator - has given EU member states the power to ban GMO cultivation for reasons beyond environmental or public health concerns. It has proposed a similar freedom to ban sales of GM foods and animal feed - basically leaving it up to national governments to decide.
There is widespread opposition among Europeans to GMO cultivation, amid fears that finely balanced ecosystems could be harmed by artificially engineered crops.
Nevertheless, most animal feed in the EU is imported, with soya the main component. In 2013 nearly all of that came from the US and South America, where soya is overwhelmingly GM. The US provided 16% of those imports - and in the US 93% of soybean cultivation is GM.
US frustration with EU restrictions on GMOs is explicit in a 2014 report by US Trade Representative Michael Froman, which says "not once in over 12 years has an EU regulatory committee accepted a proposed measure to approve a new GE [GM] product".
The US complained to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and won in 2006, when the WTO ruled that the EU had imposed "undue delays" over GMO applications.
Biotech firms argue that GMOs can have great advantages for farmers, by proving more resistant to certain pests or drought, so boosting the yield.
Pesticides
Authorisation of chemicals faces a big hurdle in the EU - the so-called "precautionary principle". It demands that politicians base a risk assessment on more factors than existing scientific data, in cases where there is scientific uncertainty.
The US approach puts the onus on authorities to prove that a particular chemical is hazardous before imposing a ban. Where no such scientific data exists, the US argues, companies should be free to sell their product.
These contrasting positions mean that the EU and US disagree over maximum residue levels (MRLs) - the measure of pesticide residues allowed in food.
The US trade representative's report complains that "frequently... no EU MRL has been established, or the EU MRL is set at a level that is too low".
But in Europe there are fears that TTIP might bypass the European Food Safety Authority (Efsa), by obliging the EU and US to follow higher chemical residue levels set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, an international food regulator.
An EU text on food safety, proposed as part of TTIP, suggests tighter deadlines for authorising pesticides:
"The Parties shall ensure that tolerances and maximum residue levels adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission after the entry into force of this Agreement will be applied by each Party without undue delay, unless the importing Party had signalled a reservation in the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Such tolerances and maximum residue levels shall apply between the Parties within 12 months after their adoption."
Bart Staes, a Belgian Green MEP and negotiator on TTIP, says Efsa has opposed up to half of the Codex standards in recent years.
The European Parliament's environment committee reports that 82 pesticides used in the US are banned in Europe.
The EU took nearly 10 years to hammer out the REACH system for registering chemicals - a system that met with "fundamental and sustained opposition" from the US, the committee says.
A big row has erupted over endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interfere with the body's highly sensitive hormone system. Studies point to EDCs causing reproductive problems and they have been linked to certain cancers.
Even tiny amounts of EDCs pose particular risks to unborn children and infants, experts warn. But much research remains to be done.
Controversially the European Commission has delayed setting EU criteria for defining EDCs, until 2017 at the earliest. Sweden has reacted by taking the Commission to court, accusing it of breaking a pledge to issue the criteria by the end of 2013.
Beef
The use of growth-promoting hormones in cattle is standard practice in the US, but banned in the EU.
After years of dispute the EU agreed to import high-quality US beef from cattle free of the added hormones. But most US beef is still excluded.
Meanwhile, EU beef exporters have been blocked by a US ban imposed because of Europe's 1990s Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) crisis - known as mad cow disease.
In January the US announced that the ban would be lifted - following years of EU action to purge BSE from the food chain. Ireland - the biggest EU beef exporter to the US before the ban - will be first back in.
Another dispute centres on ractopamine, a non-hormonal chemical used in the US to accelerate weight gain in cattle and pigs. It was originally a drug to treat asthma, and is banned in EU agriculture.
But in a controversial, narrow vote the Codex Alimentarius classified the drug as safe.
Any EU acceptance of US standards in livestock production would risk putting European farmers at a cost disadvantage, a European Parliament policy paper says.
But after years of argument the European Commission has allowed the washing of beef carcasses with lactic acid - something the US had urged it to do.
It is among various meat-washing processes used in the US to kill bacteria - called Pathogen Reduction Treatments (PRTs). With the exception of lactic acid the EU only tolerates hot water as a meat-washing treatment.
Chicken
PRTs are an issue with chicken too - chemical washing is prohibited for poultry in the EU. The US practice is to use chlorinated water.
The US trade representative's report says various EU agencies have concluded that "these PRTs do not pose a health risk to consumers".
Efsa is currently considering whether to allow peroxyacetic acid as a poultry rinse.
Food safety lobbyists in Europe warn that US animal welfare standards are generally lower than those in Europe.
The US regulations apply mainly to slaughterhouses - at the federal level America does not have the EU's "farm-to-fork" strategy of tightly regulating each link in the food chain.
But the picture is complicated. California for example bans small cages for hens, applying stricter welfare standards than many other US states or, indeed, than some EU countries.
And Europe's 2013 horsemeat scandal highlighted deficiencies in EU food safety monitoring.
The document by a parliamentary commission said that "Spain for more than 71 years has not been in the correct time zone".
In 1942, the Spanish dictator General Franco moved Spain onto Central European Time to follow Nazi Germany.
The report says Spain should be in the same time zone as the UK and Portugal.
Spain - on the western edge of Europe - is currently one hour ahead of GMT during the winter and two hours ahead in the summer.
"We sleep almost an hour less than the World Health Organization recommends,'' the commission said.
"All this has a negative effect on productivity, absenteeism, stress, accidents and school drop-out rates.''
It said that following the "wrong clock" explained why Spaniards tended to eat, leave work and go to bed later than their European neighbours.
"Our timetable is determined more by the sun than by the clock. We eat at one o'clock in the afternoon and dine at eight, according to the sun, but the clock says it is three o'clock and 10 o'clock," the text said.
It added that jumping back an hour would bring Spain "into line with Europe in many respects in which we currently differ".
You can change the hours to Pacific Standard Time and it still won't matter. The Spanish will always find a way to work less, eat later, party harder. They have built a culture and a reputation around their ungodly hours. And I hardly doubt they will change their lifestyle, and the tourism it generates, because of a technicality. Javier Brias, Madrid
I am a Spaniard living in Catalonia, but my mother was born in the Canary Islands. In the Canary Islands the time zone is the same as in London or Lisbon, but despite that we cannot say there is a significant difference in the productivity, absenteeism or stress of Canary Islanders in comparison with people on the peninsula. I don't think a change in our time zone would make a difference in our lives or our productivity rates. Nayra MarchÃin, Barcelona
We live according to the sun, not the clock. Lola Hidalgo Calle, Seville
I live just south of Castellon, which has a roadside marker pointing out the exact spot where it aligns with Greenwich. So, if the east coast of Spain coincides with London it makes perfect sense that the time be in line with Britain, Ireland and Portugal. Kieran McGrath, Valencia
Spanish culture, like every other, is not governed by time zones. It is governed by tradition, their age-old normal way of doing things. This report is nonsense. People eat, sleep and work according to the clock on their wall or the watch on their wrist. They do not eat one hour earlier in winter. God save us from so-called "experts". Eric Jackson, Villar del Arzobispo
I lived much of my childhood in Franco's Spain and farmed in Mallorca in the 1980s - and I never noticed any problem with the time zone. John Bartram, Broadstairs, UK
The 38-year-old, who plays Martin Luther King in Hollywood's new film Selma, left Britain for the US in 2007.
He told Radio Times magazine a lack of roles for black actors in Britain had left him and others frustrated.
"I shouldn't have to feel like I have to move to America to have a notable career", he says.
The Golden Globe best actor nominee claims many talented black actors who chose to say in the UK aren't getting "the opportunities worthy of them".
He says: "I can't say the same of my white peers", adding "there's a string of black British actors passing through where I live now in LA.
"We make period dramas in Britain, but there are almost never black people in them, even though we've been on these shores for hundreds of years.
"It's frustrating, because it doesn't have to be that way".
The former Spooks actor says he once took a historical drama based on a black character to a British executive but was told "if it's not Jane Austen or Dickens, the audience don't understand".
He says: "I thought, 'Okay, you are stopping people having a context for the country they live in and you are marginalising me. I can't live with that. So I've got to get out'".
Last month, Imitation Game star Benedict Cumberbatch highlighted the lack of diversity on British screens.
But his comments were overshadowed by the Sherlock actor's use of the term "coloured", for which he later apologised.
At the time, David Oyelowo defended Cumberbatch's comments.
Oyelowo says: "The difference between myself and Benedict and Eddie Redmayne is they can choose to live here and still have a Hollywood career.
"Because though they can do American movies, their bread and butter in Britain is period films. But had I stayed here, I wouldn't be in Selma. That's just a fact."
Oyelowo has also played supporting roles in Lincoln, The Butler and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Last year, Idris Elba and Lenny Henry were among stars who told TV bosses that they were "dismayed" at the poor numbers of people from ethnic minority backgrounds working in the industry.
Others including Broadchurch writer Chris Chibnall, comic Harry Hill and actor David Harewood also signed an open letter calling for a pot of money for black, Asian and minority ethnic programmes.
The letter was sent to BBC director general Tony Hall, ITV chief executive Adam Crozier, and the bosses of BSkyB, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
The BBC has announced a plan to set up a £2.1 million "diversity creative talent fund" to help fast-track shows by ethnic minority talent onto TV.

The boy was found with "life-threatening injuries" at a property on Thresher Drive, on 25 March.
He was taken to the Great Western Hospital before being transferred to Bristol Children's Hospital.
A Wiltshire Police spokesman said a 50-year-old man remains on bail after being arrested in connection with the incident.
The UK-based investigation into her disappearance could finish in the next few months, he told LBC radio.
Madeleine, of Rothley, Leicestershire, was three years old went she missing from her family's Portuguese holiday apartment on 3 May 2007.
Despite a high-profile hunt, no trace of her has ever been found.
The remaining line of inquiry is centred around a letter asking for assistance sent from UK investigators to the Portuguese Public Prosecution Service in July 2015.
In October last year, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that the number of UK officers investigating the case had now dropped from 29 to four, as the majority of work on the case had been completed.
Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, said then that they fully understood the decision.

Sir Bernard said: "There's been a lot of investigation time spent on this terrible case.
"It's a child who went missing, everybody wants to know if she is alive and if she is where is she, and sadly if she's dead then we need to give some comfort to the family.
"It's needed us to carry out an investigation together with the Portuguese and other countries have been involved.
"There is a line of inquiry that remains to be concluded and it's expected that in the coming months that will happen."
He said that line of inquiry was agreed to be "worthwhile pursuing" but once that had concluded, the probe, called Operation Grange, would likely end.
But he added: "If somebody comes forward and gives us good evidence we will follow it. We always say that a missing child inquiry is never closed."
1,338
statements taken
1,027
exhibits collected
60 persons of interest investigated
8,685 potential sightings considered
560 lines of inquiry identified
30 requests made to other countries asking for work to be carried out
The Home Office requested a review of the case in May 2011. Operation Grange, which has been supporting the Portuguese police's investigation, became a full investigation in July 2012.
The Met said in October that officers had finished bringing together and investigating the information held by Portuguese police, the UK investigation and private investigators working on behalf of the McCann family.
The inquiry took 1,338 statements and collected 1,027 exhibits but has not yet reached a conclusion.
Officers investigated more than 60 persons of interest. A total of 650 sex offenders were considered as well as reports of 8,685 potential sightings of Madeleine around the world.
Having reviewed all of the documents, "7,154 actions were raised and 560 lines of inquiry identified", the Met said.
More than 30 requests were made to "countries across the world asking for work to be undertaken on behalf of the Met".
The star played Deirdre Barlow in Coronation Street for more than 40 years.
ITV says she died in hospital in Manchester on Monday after a short illness. She was 60 years old.
Dermot O'Leary, who is presenting the NTAs, said he texted his executive producer about a tribute.
"It's actually going to be quite a sad night," he told Radio 1 Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw.
"The one thing about the Coronation Street and EastEnders casts is that they are very, very tight. So I know they will be devastated."
Organisers have now said they're working on a last-minute plan to mark Anne Kirkbride's contribution to the soap.
Kirkbride, who joined Coronation Street as a teenager, has not previously had an individual honour at the NTAs.
"Corrie will greatly appreciate it," the presenter said. "The whole point of the show is that we reflect the viewers and I'm sure the viewers will be upset."
Some of the biggest names in TV will attend the show at the O2 Arena in London.

The body of Brian Martin, 34, was discovered in his flat in Lincoln Avenue on 7 November.
His family had raised the alarm after becoming concerned for him. It is thought he may have been dead for several days.
Officers investigating the murder want to hear from anyone who was aware of a disturbance at the flat.
The murder inquiry was launched following a post mortem examination.
Det Insp Alan McAlpine said: "My team of detectives have been carrying out door to door inquiries, and are accessing all available CCTV from the immediate vicinity to try to piece together his last known movements.
"It is understood at this time he had lain in the flat for a few days before being discovered.
"I would like to reiterate my appeal for information to the local community of Knightswood for their assistance.
"The area of Lincoln Avenue is very residential with a lot of properties, therefore I would ask anyone who lives nearby and who may have witnessed or heard something unusual or witnessed any kind of disturbance to get in touch with police."
The 29-year-old, who began his career at Chelmsford, won the Championship, One-Day Cup and T20 Blast after moving to Edgbaston for the start of 2010.
Chopra, replaced as captain in 2016, was Warwickshire's leading run scorer in four of the last five terms.
"I am delighted to be re-joining a club where I have fond memories from the early stages of my career," he said.
"I look forward to returning as a more developed player and being part of a talented, ambitious and exciting team led by Chris Silverwood.
"As I enter a key stage in my career, I am intent on contributing in all formats of the game and in doing that, I hope to achieve my desire to play for England."
The Welsh Government hopes to provide better internet to 96% of Welsh premises by the end of the year.
But BT said there were issues getting access to land or permission to dig in some areas.
The scheme is expected to cost more than £400m.
Superfast Cymru, which pooled Welsh and UK government money and EU funds, was set up because the commercial roll-out of superfast broadband only achieved 49% coverage.
It contracted BT to roll out the service but there are frustrations over "missed deadlines" and "broken promises".
Glyn Jones, of Pembrokeshire spring water company Princes Gate, said his firm had already been waiting 18 months and was running out of patience.
"It's something that we've been longing for for some time," he told BBC Radio Wales' Eye on Wales programme.
"We've had meetings with BT… they seem to be full of promises as to when we'll have broadband.
"As a company we've given up waiting and we've leased our own superfast line. That will cost the businesses £1,000 a month between them.
"We can't have broadband hold us back as businesses."
BT Wales director Alwen Williams said the scale of the engineering challenges was "absolutely immense".
"Way-leaves have been - and continue to be - one of our most significant challenges - getting permissions to access the land that we need to access in order to lay the fibre cables.
"At the moment we have around 40,000 homes and businesses that are held up because we have a complex discussion or negotiation going on with various parties about how to gain access to land or permissions to dig, road closures."
But Julie James, minister for skills and science, said the Welsh Government was "frustrated" with information given out by BT.
"I meet BT quarterly to discuss the progress of SFC and we have long and involved conversations there about exactly what information could be on the website," she said.
"In fact the government took over the website last summer, as a result of that, and we've improved the website dramatically so now it's a lot more accurate in terms of whether you're going to get it and when you're going to get it.
"Nobody wants to be at the end of the programme. But we have assured people that we will get to them." | Three members of Osama Bin Laden's family had to be identified by their dental records after a plane crash at Blackbushe Airport in Hampshire, a court has heard.

Kane had to be replaced after seven minutes of the 6-0 FA Cup quarter-final win over Millwall on Sunday.
He was hurt when defender Jake Cooper blocked his shot close to the byeline.
"It looks like last time against Sunderland, it was the same ankle," Pochettino told BBC Sport.
"We need to assess some more and after tomorrow [Monday] we will see."
Kane, 23, left White Hart Lane on crutches and with his right foot in a protective boot. The striker has scored 24 goals this season, including eight in his past five games.
Spurs dominated League One Millwall despite the loss of their top scorer, with Son Heung-min netting a hat-trick, Vincent Janssen scoring his first goal from open play for the club and Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen both on target.
Kane's Spurs and England team-mate Alli said: "It is always horrible to lose a player like Harry but when he went off everyone stepped up a gear.
"We wish him a speedy recovery. It was an important win for us. We were hungry for goals."
Kane was named the Premier League Player of the Month for February and his tally of 19 league goals this season has only been matched by Everton's Romelu Lukaku.
England manager Gareth Southgate is due to name his squad on Thursday for a friendly with Germany on 22 March and a World Cup qualifier against Lithuania four days later.
Kane missed five league games and two EFL Cup matches earlier this season after twisting his ankle while tackling Sunderland's Papy Djilobodji in September.

Bernard Jenkin claimed the government watered down the Trade Union Bill to ensure union support in its campaign to keep Britain in the EU.
Mr Jenkin told MPs "this stinks" like "cash for questions" and showed the government was at the "rotten heart of the European Union".
But Business Minister Nick Boles said his claims were "not right".
He told Mr Jenkin, who is a leading figure in the Vote Leave campaign, that "not every compromise is a conspiracy".
Mr Jenkin made his comments in the Commons on the day the Guardian published an article jointly written by Prime Minister David Cameron and the former TUC general secretary Sir Brendan Barber.
In it, they say that "very special circumstances" have brought them together, adding that despite their political differences they are "united in our conviction that Britain - and Britain's workers - will be better off in a reformed Europe than out on our own".
Last week the government backed down over plans to end the right of workers to pay union subscriptions by deducting them from their wages.
MPs approved concessions to the Trade Union Bill on Wednesday following a series of defeats over the plans in the House of Lords. They included a climb-down on attempts to force all union members to "opt-in" to paying a political levy - which will now only apply to new members.
Mr Jenkin told MPs in the Commons: "Yesterday, the ministers' concession was wholly unexpected."
He questioned whether the changes were linked to reported claims that unions could donate up to £1.7m to the "Labour In for Britain" campaign to remain in the European Union.
Mr Jenkin said: "It has been confirmed to me through more than two independent sources that No 10 instructed these concessions to be made after the discussions with trade union representatives.
"This being true would amount to the sale of government policy for cash and political favours."
He went on: "This stinks, this reeks of the same as cash for questions. This shows this government really is at the rotten heart of the European Union."
But Mr Boles said the Cabinet Office had advised him there was no breach of the ministerial code and nothing for the prime minister's adviser on ministerial interests to investigate.
Mr Boles said it was "customary" for ministers to have regular discussions with shadow ministers to discuss possible compromises that would secure the passage of a Bill.
"The Trade Union Bill is now in ping pong and, as is customary at such times, ministers have held regular discussions with shadow ministers to discuss possible compromises that would secure passage of the Bill and delivery of the commitments made in the Conservative Party's manifesto," the business minister said.
Mr Boles also said that the TUC, GMB Unite and Unison had declared their support for remaining in the European Union before concessions were offered.
He added that major opposition from peers, including prominent Conservatives, had encouraged the government to make concessions. | Downing Street has been accused by a senior Tory MP of "selling" policies for "cash and political favours". | 36,160,136 | 656 | 28 | false |
Whether the airstrikes fall under Mr Trump's scope of power depends on who you ask.
According to the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the president "in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances".
The president is required to confer with Congress until US forces are no longer needed, according to the measure.
But the commander-in-chief is also given "leeway to respond to attacks or other emergencies" in a limited way, according to the Council of Foreign Relations.
Mr Trump may have leveraged that "leeway" to order the strikes, which he said were to prevent Syria's further use of chemical weapons.
US officials said the 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles targeted an airbase believed to be where the Syrian government launched a suspected chemicals weapons attack earlier this week, killing more than 80 men, women and children.
The White House maintained that the alleged chemical raid violated a 2013 deal in which Syria vowed to eliminate such weapons.
But some experts contend that presidential latitude only applies when the US itself has been attacked.
In Syria's increasingly fraught, six-year-old war - involving government forces, US-backed Syrian rebels, Kurdish fighters, the so-called Islamic State (IS) and fighters from Russia, Iran and Turkey - Mr Trump's responsibility is less clear.
More than two dozen members of Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, were told about Mr Trump's planned strikes on Thursday, according to a White House official.
Some lawmakers say Mr Trump did not need permission for such limited military action.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, who was among those informed of the strikes, said they were justified.
Senator Marco Rubio, who ran against Mr Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, defended the president's response.
"He's not asking for a declaration of war, he's not committing ground troops over an extended period of time," he said. "He was dealing with exigent circumstances and as commander-in-chief, not only does he have the right, he has an obligation to act."
The hawkish senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham issued a joint statement saying the strikes sent an important message that "the United States will no longer stand idly by as [President Bashar al-Assad], aided and abetted by Putin's Russia, slaughters innocent Syrians with chemical weapons and barrel bombs".
But others expressed concern that he acted outside his scope of power.
Senator Tim Kaine said he was willing to work with the president, but his actions were "unlawful".
Senator Rand Paul also weighed in, tweeting that "while we all condemn the atrocities in Syria, the United States was not attacked".
"The President needs Congressional authorisation for military action as required by the Constitution," he added.
Meanwhile, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi penned a letter calling on Mr Ryan to bring the chamber back in session to "live up to its Constitutional responsibility" and debate a new Authorisation for Use of Military Force (AUMF), or a sweeping, anti-terror resolution.
The US has mostly relied on the controversial AUMF that Congress passed in the days following the 9/11 attacks in 2001 to justify military action.
George W Bush was granted the power to attack any countries or groups involved in the tragedy, which mostly targeted al-Qaeda.
The 2001 AUMF, as well as one passed in 2002 for the war in Iraq, have since been used for military action against IS.
Some lawmakers and military officials have argued that Congress should pass a more updated AUMF to cover any further campaigns.
US officials have said Mr Trump's strikes bear some similarities to the American involvement in an air campaign against Libya in 2011.
President Barack Obama said it did not require Congressional permission because US forces were merely supporting an international coalition.
But in 2013, Mr Obama opted to consult Congress rather than strike after Syria launched a chemical attack that he said crossed his "red line".
After facing a divided Congress, Mr Obama decided not to hit the Syrian regime - a decision for which he is still criticised.
Mr Trump was among those who told Mr Obama he should not circumvent Congress.
However, a year later Mr Obama did launch airstrikes in Syria as part of a military campaign against IS - which Mr Trump has continued to carry out under his administration.
Former President Bill Clinton justified a 1999 bombing of Serbia as humanitarian intervention over its aggression in Kosovo.
He did so without permission from the UN Security Council or Congress, but had authorisation from Nato.
Nor did Mr Clinton obtain an AUMF in 1998 when the launched Operation Desert Fox, pounding Iraqi targets with hundreds of missiles over four days.

Aborah made 22 of his 23 appearances under former manager Ricardo Moniz, and is yet to be picked by Fullarton.
The Magpies boss revealed that within days of taking over, Aborah told him he "didn't come to play for Notts County, he played for the previous manager".
In response, Aborah said: "The club went too far on this one."
When asked by BBC Radio Nottingham if he had refused to play, the Belgian continued: "Not at all, I don't know why he said that. You don't do that to one of your players.
"I was shocked and angry at first, then I was just disappointed."
Fullarton's comments about Aborah came after Tuesday's goalless draw with League Two bottom side Dagenham & Redbridge, which left Notts still without a home win under Fullarton.
The 28-year-old has been a notable omission for the Meadow Lane side, with the former Ajax midfielder making his last appearance on 2 January under the interim management of Mick Halsall and Richard Dryden.
"I've got no issue with any player having a relationship with the manager, but the club is the one that employs you, pays your wages, therefore your loyalty, and commit and professionalism should be toward the club," the manager said.
"We felt that over a period of time that it would pass, but unfortunately he has maintained his position. On a daily basis he shows that he doesn't want to be at the club and he has asked, on occasion, to leave the club directly, via email with his agent.
"It is a predicament because he is quality with ability."
The club said in a statement on Wednesday that Aborah had "expressed his desire to leave" shortly after Fullarton's appointment, which was confirmed in an email by his representative on 20 January.
"It was the hope of the club and the manager that Stanley's position on this would change and he would be committed to contributing to the team.
"However, in a further meeting on 29 February, Stanley again expressed his desire to leave the football club," the statement continued.
The 46-year-old was taken to hospital earlier this month at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre.
Beau Biden was seen as a rising star of US politics but suffered health problems in recent years. He had intended to run for Delaware state governor in 2016.
"The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words", the vice-president said.
In a statement, President Barack Obama said: "Michelle [Obama] and I are grieving tonight."
"Beau was a good, big-hearted, devoutly Catholic and deeply faithful man, who made a difference in the lives of all he touched - and he lives on in their hearts."
In a Twitter post, former President Bill Clinton wrote: "Hillary & I mourn the loss of Beau Biden - so full of life, love, honor, and service - and we pray for the strength of his wonderful family."
Beau Biden was diagnosed with brain cancer in August 2013 and underwent treatment that was initially successful. However, the cancer recurred earlier this year.
Announcing the death in a statement, the vice-president said: "It is with broken hearts that Hallie, Hunter, Ashley, Jill and I announce the passing of our husband, brother and son, Beau, after he battled brain cancer with the same integrity, courage and strength he demonstrated every day of his life."
"Beau embodied my father's saying that a parent knows success when his child turns out better than he did," he said, adding: "We know that Beau's spirit will live on in all of us."
"Beau Biden was, quite simply, the finest man any of us have ever known," the statement ended.
In 2010, Beau Biden suffered a mild stroke. Three years later, he received surgery at a Texas cancer centre for what was said to be a small lesion.
The eldest of Mr Biden's two sons, he served a year-long tour of Iraq in 2008 as a captain in the Delaware National Guard.
As a child, Beau survived a car crash that killed his mother Neilia and his baby sister Naomi in 1972. He and his brother Hunter were injured.
Joe Biden had just been elected to the Senate, and took his oath of office by his son's hospital bed.
Joe Biden married Jill Jacobs in 1977. They have one daughter - Ashley Blazer.
Beau Biden is survived by his wife Hallie and their two children, Natalie and Hunter.
Slade was removed as manager at the end of the season with the club now looking to appoint a head coach.
The 55-year-old has now taken up a new role as head of football at Cardiff and will oversee scouting among other duties.
Ex-Wales midfielder Trollope has been Cardiff head coach since February 2015 and is favourite with one bookmaker to take the managerial reigns.
Trollope, who spent five years as manager of Bristol Rovers, will be part of Chris Coleman's Wales coaching team at this summer's European Championship finals.
The 43-year-old was first-team coach at Birmingham City and Norwich City before joining Slade's backroom team midway through the 2014-15 season.
Slade was in charge for the final time when Cardiff drew 1-1 with Birmingham on the final day of the Championship season, a result which saw the Bluebirds finish eighth in the table.
Cardiff had targeted a place in the play-offs, but fell short as they recorded one win in their final seven matches.
Slade will be Cardiff's head of football next season, with a new head coach appointed to oversee the first-team.
England travel to Scotland for a World Cup qualifier on Saturday and face France in a friendly three days later.
Rooney, 31, is England's all-time leading goalscorer with 53 in 119 appearances, but has been overlooked by coach Gareth Southgate for the games.
"Wayne is a massive influence around the whole squad," said Rashford, 19.
"He still has a lot to do in his career. There's still a lot trophies he'll hope to be playing for. Knowing Wayne, it's nowhere near over."
Southgate said the "good form" of other players, including Rashford, was behind Rooney's omission - though the 31-year-old did not feature in England's previous squad in March because he was not fully fit after a leg injury.
Rashford's only start for England came in a goalscoring debut against Australia last May and his inclusion in the senior squad means he will miss this summer's Under-21 European Championship.
The Football Association previously indicated young players needed tournament experience but Rashford, who has won eight caps, says he is "happy" to be in Southgate's squad.
"We both look at it on the same side of things, so it's important to be on the same page," he told BBC 5 live sport.
"Whatever age group you're called up to, it's important to have the mindset that you're going to achieve great things."
Rashford played 58 games for United and England this season, scoring 11 goals, having broken into his club's first-team last term and been part of the Three Lions' Euro 2016 squad.
"To me, I have not been fast-tracked, there's been a lot of games," added Rashford. "I feel comfortable in the position I'm in.
"England and United have both dealt with it in a positive way and they are dealing with the situation well.
"A lot of it is mentally. If you prepare yourself mentally the right way then physically you'll be able to push yourself through it."
Rashford, who started United's Europa League final win over Ajax, says he is proving he is continuing to develop as a player.
"To me, I already know it is happening because I'm working hard in training every day," he said. "I can see the development in myself, but for me to be playing and scoring goals is proof.
"It's a process and you have to believe in the process and buy into it. There are times you think you should be pushing and doing more, but in reality you should be patient.
"My all-round game has gone to another level and the way my brain thinks when I'm in certain situations on the pitch is different to what it was a year ago."
As for England's visit to Scotland in World Cup qualifying on Saturday, Rashford hopes he will get to witness a hostile environment at Hampden Park.
"It possibly will be one of the toughest I've faced so far," he said of the Hampden crowd. "For me, I'm hoping so because it's another experience I can tick off the list."
There could not have been a more poignant moment to witness the deep pain and grief suffered by families of those who perished in the Garissa University College attack last week.
They are taking their children home to the hills and valleys of this beautiful land for burial.
Everyone has been touched by the gruesome attack.
While I was at the mortuary, I saw Kenya's Foreign Affairs Minister Amina Mohamed break down in tears at the scale of personal loss all around us.
The question that comes to mind is - why? Why were those young people targets for the Somali-based al-Shabab militants?
And why Kenya? The simplistic answer is that Kenyan troops are serving in the African Union mission in neighbouring Somalia and the insurgents are striking back.
So if the troops pull out of Somalia, as the opposition is demanding, will that stop the attacks?
"It is time that we look into... how our troops can withdraw from Somalia," former Prime Minister and leader of the opposition Raila Odinga told an Easter gathering in Mombasa.
"The US used to have many soldiers in Somalia but it recalled them.
"Kenya should also remove its military officers from Somalia."
Yet as we have seen in other parts of the world, terrorism can be home-grown too.
It was not just Somalis who were involved in the Garissa attack - at least one of the four gunmen has been identified as a Kenyan national.
And this week's closure of 13 money transfer firms, a lifeline to the Somali community and many other Kenyans, has angered many.
The government says it is to prevent militant Islamists from using them to finance attacks, but aid agencies say the closure will hit poor Somalis hardest as they rely on remittances for food, school and basic health care.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has also been singled out for criticism because it is more than a week since the attack and he has not visited Garissa yet.
Questions too are being asked about why the authorities ignored intelligence reports ahead of the attack.
And fingers pointed at security lapses and the apparent response to the attack.
Manoah Esipisu, who speaks on behalf of the president, openly admitted that "mistakes were made".
An elite paramilitary unit arrived in Garissa at 13:56 local time. The alarm had been raised at 06:00.
Ngunyi Yusuf, former banker:
"The government must shut down the Dadaab refugee camp and send those people back to Somalia"
Back at the mortuary I heard about 23-year-old Susan Kwamboka Onyikwa.
She was studying to become a teacher and her uncle Ngunyi Yusuf, a former banker, had come to fetch her body.
"Susan was marvellous. She loved cooking and being at home. She was loved by everybody in the family," he told me.
With tears swelling in his eyes, the 42-year-old continued calmly: "She was a very good lady. We are devastated."
When I asked Mr Yusuf what the government should do to avoid another attack, he pointed to the nearly 500,000 Somali refugees who are in the country, having fled decades of conflict and hunger.
"The government must shut down the Dadaab refugee camp and send those people back to Somalia."
As the hearse carrying Susan Onyikwa's body slowly left Chiromo morgue for Nyanza in the west, it was clear that Kenyans want peace. But they know all too well that in these troubled times, there are no guarantees.
The 27-year-old German joined the Terriers from 1860 Munich in June 2016 for a then club record fee of £1.8m.

It was the first meeting between Radwanska and 22-year-old Kozlova, who was making her main-draw debut at SW19.
"It's just like an indoor tournament," Radwanska said. "We have to get used to it. It's good we could play today."

Leonie Nice was at Woodlands Comprehensive School, Takely End, in Basildon, when the incident happened at about 12:30 GMT.
Essex Police said the "girl was taken ill after being hit by a ball".
Police said despite the efforts of school staff, paramedics and hospital staff, the girl died a short time later at Basildon Hospital.
Andy White, head teacher at the school, said: "Leonie Nice, a year seven pupil, was catching a rugby ball in a PE lesson when she was hit in the chest by the ball.
"Leonie keeled over and appeared to go into a fit. Our trained first-aiders gave CPR at the scene and the ambulance arrived quickly.
"Leonie was taken by ambulance to Basildon Hospital where despite everyone's best efforts, Leonie was pronounced dead."
Mr White said pupils and parents had been informed of her death.
Students who require support are being looked after by school staff and specialist staff from Essex County Council's Support Team, he added.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time," he said.
"Leonie was a promising, delightful and kind girl who will be greatly missed by all the staff and pupils of Woodlands School."
Patrick O'Flynn, who is standing down as economics spokesman, claims the "centrist approach" advocated by him and others "is falling by the wayside".
The ex-journalist made the announcement as nominations are set to close in the contest to replace leader Paul Nuttall.
Mr Nuttall quit after UKIP failed to win any seats in the general election.
Mr O'Flynn also resigned as economics spokesman in 2015 after he described former UKIP leader Nigel Farage as "snarling, thin-skinned and aggressive" - remarks for which he later apologised.
Announcing his most recent departure, he said: "I have always argued for UKIP to be at the commonsense centre of politics, rather than defined as on the right-wing.
"It is clear to me that UKIP's activist base wishes to go in a more libertarian, shrink-the-state and Thatcherite direction.
"It is regrettable that the more centrist approach argued by the likes of me and Suzanne Evans is falling by the wayside."
Mr O'Flynn, who will continue to serve as an MEP, said he was proud of the role he played in bringing about Brexit.
His decision to step down comes a day before the 28 July deadline for leadership nominations.
UKIP MEP Bill Etheridge withdrew his leadership bid on Wednesday, with a call for "libertarian" candidates to unite against hard-liners using the party "as a vehicle for the views of the EDL and the BNP".
He also called on Mr Farage to make clear which leadership candidate had his support.
Figures who have declared their intention to run include: Scottish leader David Coburn, MEP Jane Collins, London Assembly members Peter Whittle and David Kurten, Sharia Watch director Ann Marie Waters, former UKIP councillor Ben Walker, former Kent police and crime commissioner candidate Henry Bolton and direct democracy activist John Rees-Evans, who came third in the last contest.
The full line-up in the race to succeed Mr Nuttall is not expected to be announced until several days after nominations close.
Candidates must be vetted by UKIP's National Executive Committee before securing a place on the ballot paper.
The new leader will be announced at UKIP's conference in Torquay on 29 September.
The 27-year-old Briton, riding for the Boels Dolmans team, finished in the pack to preserve her 11-second lead on South Africa's Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio.
Italian Elisa Longo Borghini was third overall, a further two seconds behind.
"I feel very lucky because I am part of a country that loves cycling at the moment," Armitstead said.
"I hope that bubble continues. Event like this certainly help.
"We had quite a lot of pressure on us today with the team performing so well all week. I couldn't let them down really so I'm relieved and happy that I did it for them."
Danielle King was the next highest-placed Briton in 11th, with Nikki Harris 14th and Molly Weaver 17th.
American Katie Hall won the Queen of the Mountains competition for best climber, 2014 champion Marianne Vos won the points jersey, while 20-year-old Dutchwoman Floortje Mackaij was the best young rider.
Finland's Lotta Lepisto won the final stage in a sprint finish, edging out Italians Marta Bastianelli and Elena Cecchini.

Sean O'Halloran, 30, from Northland Road in Derry is accused of raping a woman in May 2014.
The defendant who is a journalist with BBC Radio Foyle faces two additional charges of sexual assault on the same date.
Mr O'Halloran, who denies all the charges, is on trial at Londonderry Crown Court.
The court was played a recorded interview from 21 May 2014, in which the woman, who cannot be named, told a detective that she had been having a normal Saturday night and had been to a bar with friends before she and her boyfriend invited a number of people, including Mr O'Halloran, back to their house.
She said she had been watching a film but went to bed because she was tired and that her boyfriend and two male friends were left downstairs.
She told the detective she got into bed fully clothed and that a short time later she had felt someone getting into bed beside her and putting an arm around her.
The woman told the detective she had assumed it was her boyfriend but that a minute later she felt this person pulling off her trousers and underwear. When she turned around she said she could see who it was.
She described him as being completely naked, that he ripped her top off and that he then sexually assaulted and raped her.
The woman went on to say that she tried to shove Mr O'Halloran off her and that she started screaming and asking him 'what he was doing?'
She said he initially said nothing before asking her: "What are you doing?", "what are you talking about?"
The woman said she ran downstairs and told her boyfriend what had happened before calling the police.
She further told the detective that she had known Mr O'Halloran for a couple of years and had disliked him because he had made previous advances towards her, which she had resisted.
She said on one occasion he had grabbed her legs and tried to kiss her.
Under cross-examination by a defence lawyer, the woman denied that sexual contact had been consensual or that she had made her claims up for money.
The trial, which is expected to last for five days, continues.
James Ibori, former governor of Delta state, admitted 10 counts of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering.
Southwark Crown Court was told the amount he stole from the people of Delta state was "unquantified".
Ibori, who evaded capture in Nigeria after a mob of supporters attacked police, was arrested in Dubai in 2010.
He was extradited to the UK, where he was prosecuted based on evidence from the Metropolitan Police.
By Angus CrawfordBBC News
Police officers stood, their arms crossed, in front of the courtroom door. Admission was for press and family only. Crowds of supporters and critics pushed and shoved and tutted about not being able to get into the hearing.
But the court authorities were taking no chances after events on Monday when people surged into the hearing knocking the prosecutor off her feet.
Protesters outside chanted slogans celebrating Ibori's sentence. Supporters glared at them.
Despite admitting stealing tens of millions of pounds from state coffers meant to help some of the poorest people in Nigeria, he still has some important friends.
But two much bigger questions hover over the whole trial.
First, when a man who has an official salary of £4,000 a year buys a house in Hampstead worth £2.2m, why did no-one smell a rat?
Second, why did some of the best known banks in the world not ask questions about where the cash he deposited with them came from?
One of the counts Ibori admitted related to a $37m (£23m) fraud pertaining to the sale of Delta State's share in Nigerian privatised phone company company V Mobile.
He was governor of Delta State between May 1999 and May 2007.
Sasha Wass, QC, prosecuting, told the court Ibori "deliberately and systematically" defrauded the people he was elected to represent.
The court heard he came to the UK in the 1980s and worked as a cashier at a Wickes DIY store in Ruislip, north west London.
He was convicted in 1991 of stealing from the store but then returned to Nigeria and began his climb up the People's Democratic Party (PDP) network.
When he ran for governor he lied about his date of birth to hide his criminal conviction in the UK - which would have prevented him standing for office.
Ibori, whose address was given as Primrose Hill, north London, claims to be 53 but police in London say he is 49.
Sentencing him, Judge Anthony Pitts told Ibori: "You lived modestly in London in the 1990s and no-one I think hearing at that time would imagine the multi millionaire high profile governor that you became some eight or nine years later."
He became governor in 1999 but soon began taking money from state coffers.
Judge Pitts said: "It was during those two terms that you turned yourself in short order into a multi-millionaire through corruption and theft in your powerful position as Delta state governor."
Ibori bought:
After the hearing Sue Patten, head of the Crown Prosecution Service central fraud group, said it would bid to confiscate the assets Ibori had acquired his riches "at the expense of the some of the poorest people in the world".
International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell said: "James Ibori's sentence sends a strong and important message to those who seek to use Britain as a refuge for their crimes.
"Corruption is a cancer in developing countries and the coalition government has a zero tolerance approach to it."
On Monday, the BBC's Newsnight revealed an equity fund backed by the UK Department for International Development's private enterprise arm, CDC Group, was being investigated by Nigerian officials.
It uncovered claims suggesting CDC Group put $47.5m (£29.9m) in to the private fund, which invested in Nigerian companies allegedly linked to Ibori.
DfID said the allegations dated to 2009 and that CDC, which is overseen by Mr Mitchell, always carried out "full and thorough" checks before investing in a fund manager.
CDC had investigated the claims at the time, finding "no indication that British funding had been misused", it said.
The 23-year-old went in on Sunday, 8 January and came out four days later.
Blues said the loose-head "will be closely monitored by hospital doctors and the Cardiff Blues medical team".
Danny Wilson's side are also without loose-head Gethin Jenkins, but Rhys Gill is hoping to be fit to face Bristol on Saturday.
Wilson hopes Wales utility back Gareth Anscombe - who is not in Rob Howley's squad for the 2017 Six Nations - and number eight Nick Williams will be fit for the European Challenge Cup encounter.
In their statement about Thyer, Blues said: "Following advice from the region's medical team, Thyer attended hospital where comprehensive investigations took place.
"He was released from University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff last Thursday (12 Jan) and continues his progress from home.
"There has been regular contact with family and Thyer will be closely monitored by hospital doctors and the Cardiff Blues medical team. Further information will be released in due course."
Families into Sports for Health (FiSH) raised £11,400 to fund a trial opening of the sports centre and swimming pool.
But Western Isles Council - Comhairle nan Eilean Siar - rejected the offer and said it would not hold a trial.
Leisure centres on Lewis and Harris have been traditionally closed on Sundays in observation of the Sabbath.
Campaigner Lesley McKenzie said hundreds of families wanted the facilities in Stornoway to be available all week.
Similar sites in other parts of the Western Isles run by the comhairle, including on Benbecula, are open on Sundays.
The local authority said it had taken a "democratic decision" not to open on Sundays and its councillors were best placed to decide on local demand for a service.
It said the decision not to open on Sundays was not only for Sabbatarian reasons.
But Mrs McKenzie said: "Over 1,500 families in the Western Isles will be disappointed at this response.
"We want the sport centre to be open on Sundays and we will do what we need to do to help make that happen."
Stornoway Free Church minister the Reverend James Maciver said there were families who preferred to have Sunday as a day of rest after being busy in the week with activities, including sports-related pursuits such as swimming.
He said: "It is not really a health issue as far as we are concerned. There are plenty of facilities without these extra hours on a Sunday."
Shauna Higgin and Victoria Johnson both admitted two counts of ill treatment of residents at Ashbourne House Nursing Home in Middleton, Rochdale, last year.
The pair shared videos and images of themselves "harming" the therapy dolls.
Higgin, 20, of Middleton, was detained at a young offender institution for 13 months while Johnson, 23, from Oldham was jailed 12 months.
On sentencing at Manchester Crown Court Minshull Street, Judge Andrew Lowcock described the offences as "cruel" and said: "You treated [residents] as playthings, as the butt of your tasteless jokes."
The dolls are used as a therapeutic tool by residents who care for them like their own babies.
In one photo, titled 'Tug of War' Higgin, of Boarshaw Walk, pulls a doll off an elderly woman who holds on with her hands to stop it being snatched away.
On another occasion Johnson filmed Higgin throwing a doll to the floor and shouting "Die baby. Die."
The doll was also photographed in a variety of other positions such as being hung by its neck, in a tumble dryer, a cooking pot, submerged in a fish tank and being dragged along a corridor by Higgin.
A whistleblower sent the pictures to the Manchester Evening News and police were called in January.
The 29-bedroom nursing home which cares for people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease was placed in special measures earlier this year by the Care Quality Commission.
The CQC said in a statement after sentencing it was "pleased" with the outcome as it sends a strong message that abuse or neglect on vulnerable members society will not be tolerated.
Ashbourne House Nursing Home - run by Silverdale Care Homes Limited - has so far been unavailable for comment.
Two counts of wilful neglect or ill treatment by a case worker are to lie on file.
The action-adventure film made $35.5m (£27m) between Friday and Sunday, according to studio estimates.
Directed by Clint Eastwood, Sully recreates the real-life 2009 'miracle on the Hudson' emergency landing.
It exceeded expectations of its first week's takings, which were around $25m (£19m), to knock the last fortnight's leader Don't Breathe into third place.
The thriller about three teenagers who burgle a house but find that its blind owner is not as helpless as he appears made $8.2m (£6m).
In second place came new opener When the Bough Breaks, which made $15m (£11m).
The erotic thriller stars Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall as a couple who hire a surrogate in a desperate bid to have a baby. However the surrogate soon shows signs of becoming a threat as she develops a psychotic fixation on the husband.
Sully sees Hanks star as Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the pilot hailed as a hero after saving the lives of 155 passengers and crew when his plane's engines failed over the Hudson river.
The film was adapted by Eastwood from Highest Duty, Sullenberger's autobiography.
Sully also stars Aaron Eckhart and Laura Linney.
Paul Dergarabedian, of box office trackers ComScore, said research showed the majority of the audience was over 35 and female, adding that Hanks was the main reason for going to see the movie.
Eastwood was also said to have been a draw for many others.
"Sully brings one of the world's most beloved stars and one of its great directors together in a true life drama that delivers the kind of gravitas and depth that defines the so-called 'Oscar season' that usually takes some time to ramp up, but this year gets right to work," Dergarabedian told Reuters.
The top five also included Suicide Squad, starring Will Smith, in fourth place, having made $5.65m (£4m) in its sixth week.
Meanwhile, The Wild Life, which tells the Robinson Crusoe story from the point of view of the island animals, opened at number five, with takings of $3.4m (£2.6m).
Further down the list came Kubo and the Two Strings in sixth with $3.2m (£2.4m), followed by Pete's Dragon with $2.9m (£2m).
The top 10 was completed by comedy animation Sausage Party, which made $2.3m (£1.7m).

Finalised recycling figures for 2015-16, published this month, show Wales leading the rest of the UK.
A total of 60.2% of waste was recycled - double the figure a decade ago.
Welsh Environment Secretary Lesley Griffiths pointed to EU recycling league tables which suggested, if Wales was a single member state, it would be in fourth position overall.
The latest recycling figures for Wales also exceeded the Welsh Government's 58% recycling rate target, which Ms Griffiths said was "very pleasing".
Rebecca Colley-Jones, a recycling and resource specialist at Bangor University, said Wales' success was partly down to the targets the Welsh Government had set for local authorities.
The next is for a 64% recycling rate by 2020 and 70% by 2025.
"Welsh Government is the only devolved administration to have put statutory recycling targets in legislation up to 2025," Ms Colley-Jones said.
"Because of that, local authorities have seen it as a priority - and they've put in place things to make sure it happens."
European league tables - based on data from 2012 when Wales was recycling 52% of its waste - put Germany on top (65%), Austria in second place (62%) and Belgium third (57%).
Ms Colley-Jones shared the environment secretary's confidence that Wales could soon become the best.
"We're not that far off and if we continue to maintain our momentum in terms of achieving that 70% recycling rate then it shouldn't actually be an issue," she said.
The Welsh Government's latest draft budget, published this month, included a cut to the implementation and management of its waste strategy.
Asked whether that presented a challenge to her ambitions, Ms Griffiths told BBC Wales "it's not just about funding".
"It's down to the hard work of local authorities and the keenness of households to recycle," she said.
"We've put a lot of effort in over the last few years, a good deal of funding too. But it's also about the will, and that will is certainly there."
However, there are pockets in Wales where there are challenges.
Pembrokeshire is already providing a collection vehicle and driver for a glass collection scheme being trialled in the Cardigan and Penparc area, before a decision on whether to expand it to the whole of Ceredigion.
"Ceredigion has been seeing what we've been doing with glass," councillor Huw George, Pembrokeshire Council's cabinet member for the environment said.
"So we thought could we help in some way? Once a week we have a lorry spare and a driver - so we send it over to Ceredigion with their operatives doing the work.
"It's a shared resource and as we move on, perhaps that's how we'll deal with recycling more and more - if it improves the service and helps the environment then why not."
Vale of Glamorgan MP Mr Cairns steps up from his role as under secretary of state at the Wales Office which has been filled by Aberconwy MP Guto Bebb.
Prime Minister David Cameron made the announcement on Saturday.
Mr Duncan Smith quit on Friday over the latest planned cuts to disability benefits announced in the Budget.
Mr Cairns told BBC Wales: "There is no better role for Wales than sitting around the cabinet, making sure that Wales' voice is heard loud and clear and also in shaping UK government policy developed to Wales' benefit."
Mr Cairns said he wanted to see Cardiff's Capital Region city deal to be as successful as the last biggest infrastructure project, the regeneration of Cardiff Bay, and he wants to push forward similar projects for north Wales and Swansea.
"This has been an extraordinary week for Wales with a city deal for Cardiff Capital Region, the doors being opened for a north Wales growth deal and negotiations for a Swansea Bay city deal.
"The Severn tolls announcement demonstrates that Wales is open for business and I am determined to keep this momentum going and deliver on these projects."
As the new Welsh secretary, he will take charge of steering the next stage of Welsh devolution into law.
Up until Saturday Mr Crabb had responsibility for the Wales Bill, a new law which significantly changes how the assembly works and gives it new powers. However, it has proved controversial.
The draft bill led to claims from First Minister Carwyn Jones, Presiding Officer Rosemary Butler and others that it actually reduces powers in the assembly.
It was criticised from all corners of the assembly, including Welsh Conservative AMs, and Mr Crabb promised changes in response.
He also delayed the publication of the final form of the bill to go before MPs until at least May. Its publication will now be the responsibility of Mr Cairns.
Mr Crabb said: "I was delighted to see Alun Cairns appointed as my successor as Welsh secretary. I think he'll do a fantastic job.
"I think the Wales Bill - with the changes I announced in recent weeks - is in good shape to take forward to Parliament now but obviously it will be for the new secretary of state for Wales to lead that through in the manner in which he sees fit."
Welsh Conservatives leader Andrew RT Davies said Mr Crabb's appointment was "just rewards" and welcomed Mr Cairns as a "tireless and effective voice for Wales".
This is a major career development for both men.
But Stephen Crabb has an enormously difficult job of steering through highly controversial welfare changes, given the man formerly doing the job described some of those changes as "indefensible".
For the new Welsh secretary, his complete focus is infrastructure. Alun Cairns thinks the Wales Office job is much more of a challenge because of George Osborne's preference of delivering infrastructure projects through city deals.
In Wales, this has to be delivered through devolution, which makes it more complicated than in the north of England.
Mr Crabb's marked change in tone from his own predecessors - his more consensual attitude to Cardiff Bay - was welcomed across the assembly.
Mr Cairns very much wants to be seen to follow the style of Mr Crabb as a deal maker.
He is yet to give very much away on how he would tackle the Wales Bill, although he has been intimately involved with it right from the start as Mr Crabb's number two.
The question will be whether the new Welsh secretary will be able to achieve the consensus on the Wales Bill that evaded the MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire.
Advice provided to the Scottish Parliament Information Centre said peak production at the Laggan and Tormore fields could satisfy average demand across the whole of Scotland.
Operator Total started production at its new Shetland plant on Monday.
Highlands and Islands MSP Mike MacKenzie said it was "good news" for the country and the industry.
In total, the two new fields, which have a lifespan of 20 years, will produce about 8% of the UK's gas needs.
The Laggan and Tormore fields lie about 125km (77 miles) north west of the Shetland Islands, in an area where almost one fifth of the UK's remaining oil and gas reserves are thought to be held.
A pipeline carries the gas from the huge new Shetland Gas Plant, part of a £3.5bn investment by French firm Total, down to the mainland and into the national grid.
Challenging weather conditions delayed the project by more than a year and added millions to its cost, but Total said the now-operational plant would produce 90,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Mr MacKenzie hailed the new facilities as good for Scotland and for the oil and gas industry, which has endured a difficult period amid plunging oil prices.
He said: "The newly constructed Shetland Gas Plant is a major economic investment and a sign of confidence in the future of our oil and gas industry.
"The scale of these new facilities is absolutely massive - with analysts confirming that these two fields will produce enough to meet 100% of Scotland's gas demand.
"That's good news for Shetland, for Scotland, and for our North Sea industry."
Dyfed-Powys Police was called to an address in the Milford Haven area at 10:08 GMT on Tuesday.
In a statement, Milford Haven School said pupils and staff had been "devastated by the terrible news" and counselling was being provided.
Police said the death was not being treated as suspicious.

Zouma, 20, made the remarks after Chelsea's win over Arsenal on Saturday when striker Costa clashed with Gunners centre-back Gabriel, who was sent off.
"Sorry for any confusion. English is not my first language. I did not mean to accuse anyone of cheating," he said.
Spain international Costa, 26, has since been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association.
Frenchman Zouma added Costa was "a player who puts pressure on his opponents and who I have huge respect for".
Chelsea have spoken to Zouma about his initial remarks, which were made in a television interview immediately after the 2-0 win over Arsenal.
"Everyone knows Diego and this guy likes to cheat a lot and put the opponents out of his game, and that happened in the game," Zouma told beIN Sports.

"He's a real nice guy in the life and we are very proud to have him."
Zouma scored the opening goal for the Blues in their victory at Stamford Bridge when he nodded in a Cesc Fabregas free-kick at the far post.
"It's harsh to take literally the words of a young player spoken in his second language immediately after a game," said a Chelsea spokesperson.
"He is deeply upset his words have been used to attack a team-mate and friend."
Costa puts his hands in the face of Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny before rowing with Gabriel.
The Chelsea forward and Gabriel were booked by referee Mike Dean and the latter was dismissed for a second yellow when he kicked out at Costa in the aftermath.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed last month that 16,000 tickets issued by police community support officers (PCSO) were not valid due because of an "administrative error".
But, the force said there was "no basis in law" for refunds, which would have "come from the public purse".
Many of the drivers paid up without challenging the ticket's validity.
After a review of PCSO powers in March, the force found some PCSOs who joined the force several years ago were not initially given powers to issue parking tickets.
In a statement, police said "an administrative error meant that the authorisation was invalid".
The force's current records system, which goes back to 2006, found 16,000 tickets were affected, resulting in total of £485,000 being paid to the courts.
The force admitted other tickets may have been issued in similar circumstances for up to three years earlier.
It said it had taken legal advice on the matter.
A spokesman said: "We are now satisfied that there is no basis in law that would entitle anyone to such a refund, which would in any case have had to come from the public purse.
At the heart of this assessment is that motorists had opportunity to challenge the validity of the process in court at the time, and only those found guilty in these circumstances were penalised.
"If, however, motorists elected to pay the penalty they effectively accepted having committed the offence and opted out of the court process, thereby waiving their right to contest the matter."
The force said the "anomaly" had since been corrected and PCSOs now had the full powers to issue the fines.
Grealish, 21, was also suspended by the Championship club for Saturday's draw with Newcastle but will be available for Tuesday's trip to Barnsley.
Police were called to a Birmingham hotel last Sunday morning as guests complained of a rowdy party, which Grealish is reported to have attended.
No arrests were made and Grealish was not among the people thrown out.
"We've fined the boy and he was suspended for today," said Villa boss Roberto di Matteo.
"It's not the first time but he needs to learn from the past and the only one who can do that is himself. He needs to make the right decisions.
"He's 21 now and needs to understand what kind of career he has ahead of him. As long as he does what he's supposed to do we will treat him like everyone else."
Villa's 1-1 draw with Newcastle extended the club's winless run to six games and left them 17th in the early Championship table, with nine points from their opening nine league games.

Staff from departments, including HMRC, will move to the New Waverley development, near the city's main train station.
The move is part of plans to reduce the number of HMRC offices in Scotland to two.
Ministers announced last year that 170 tax offices across the UK would be replaced with 13 regional centres.
HMRC offices across Scotland, including those in Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness and Livingston, are due to close and be replaced with centres in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The government has signed a leasing deal for more than 20 years on the New Waverley development, which it said showed the strength of its commitment to services outside London.
Parliamentary Secretary to the Cabinet Office, Caroline Nokes said: "This landmark development will deliver significant benefits to Edinburgh and the communities within it.
"Alongside significant savings for the taxpayer, the roll out of government hubs will provide modern working environments across the whole of the UK that will enable us to provide the best public services we can.
HMRC chief executive, Jon Thompson, added: "Locating HMRC's new regional centre for Edinburgh in the New Waverley development is another step in HMRC's transformation, into a modern, digitally-advanced tax authority.
However, critics have accused ministers of replacing HMRC regional offices without due consultation.
Livingston MP Hannah Bardell said the decision to site the new centre in Edinburgh city centre caused real problems for the 1,100 HMRC staff currently based in her constituency.
She said: "We all know how busy the M8 is. You're talking about a lot of people to put on trains and roads out of Livingston."
The SNP MP also referred to a National Audit Office report that questioned the government's projected costs of the move.
She added: "The National Audit Office report released only a few days before the 2017 election Purdah period, concluded that there was cause for concern about the financial integrity of this and many other HMRC office moves across the UK.
"Specifically, it is not clear that the move to regional city centres will save money as the UK government alleges. In fact, it could well be of greater cost to the public purse."
The Australian Olympic team haven't exactly had an ideal build-up to the 2016 Games.
BBC Sport documents their tale of woe...
Australia's delegation refused to move into the Olympic Village on the official opening day a week ago, citing electrical problems, gas and water leaks among other issues in the building.
Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes responded to Australian criticism by saying the village is "more beautiful" than Sydney's for the 2000 Games and that he was about to put "a kangaroo jumping" outside to "make them feel at home".
Australian delegation leader Kitty Chiller took the comments in good spirit, presenting Mayor Paes with a cuddly toy at the ceremony when her team finally moved in on Wednesday, July 27.
Being evacuated from your team building at the Olympic Village in Rio due to a "small fire" is one thing... but imagine returning to your room to find that essential equipment had disappeared.
That was the situation faced by Team Australia on Friday, 29 July.
It has been alleged that Brazilian "firemen" stole Zika-protective shirts from Australia's residence during an evacuation, when a laptop was also taken.
"I saw three fire [fighters] ... walking out with our team shirts," said Australian chef de mission Kitty Chiller. "I didn't know if they were volunteers that had been given a shirt because they had helped us at that point in time.
"It doesn't seem to have been what happened."
In a separate incident, Paralympic sailor Liesl Tesch, 47, a gold medallist at London 2012, and team physiotherapist Sarah Ross were robbed at gunpoint near their team hotel on 21 June.
The incident happened in broad daylight, with the pair robbed of the bikes they were riding during a training session.
Four members of the 'Aussie Stingers', Australia's women's Olympic water polo team, were placed in medical isolation after suffering from gastroenteritis on their way to Rio.
The unnamed quartet - who make up almost a third of the water polo team - have been quarantined for 48 hours.
The team of 13 players landed in Brazil on Monday, following a delayed flight from Rome, where they had been training for the Games. They open their Olympic tournament against Russia on 9 August.

Australia's total medal haul has fallen at every Summer Games since Sydney hosted the event in 2000.
A total of 35 medals - including just eight gold medals - at London 2012 was their lowest since Barcelona hosted the event in 1992.
It has not, however, stopped the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) targeting a top-five placing in the Rio medal table, but they will count some notable absentees from their team.
In June, Olympic 100m hurdles champion - and track and field captain - Sally Pearson announced she would not be able to defend her title due to a hamstring injury.
Elsewhere, the world's number one golfer Jason Day has withdrawn due to concerns over the Zika virus, while Nick Krygios pulled out of the tennis competition, citing a dispute over the AOC's "unfair and unjust treatment" of him.
On Monday, Australian tennis sisters Arina and Anastasia Rodionova were handed a late Olympic call-up for the women's doubles following a withdrawal.
It was not initially clear whose place the siblings had taken, but Dominika Cibulkova was forced out of competing with a calf injury. She had been due to compete in the doubles with Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.
Anastasia, 34, will be competing at her second Games while Arina, 26, will be making her Olympic debut. Samantha Stosur and Daria Gavrilova will also be representing Australia in the doubles.

Gatland said: "We just feel like the destiny of the result was taken out of our hands with the red card.
"He's lifted him, that's a yellow card, but he's not driven him into the ground."
Wales face New Zealand or Australia in Friday's third-place play-off.
We hope everyone back home is proud of us, but it is heartbreaking
Gatland remained proud of his side's efforts in a game in which scrum-half Mike Phillips scored the only try.
The New Zealander added: "Does that mean every time there's a tackle where you lift someone off the ground it's a red card?
"Why spoil the semi-final with a red card? He's not a dirty player. I'm just gutted.
"We were down to 14 but we showed great character and I'm proud of our efforts.
"But we can't go to just one tournament and do well, we have got to kick on from here.
Under Gatland's shrewd stewardship this Welsh side should have a bright future

"I feel let down, I thought this team were good enough to go on and take the final but it was not to be.
"We just feel that ultimately the result wasn't in our control."
Wales centre Jamie Roberts,who joined the scrum at times in flanker Warburton's absence, said: "To play like we did with 14 men for 70 minutes, we can take a lot of pride in that performance, we hope everyone back home is proud of us but it is heartbreaking.
"Obviously with 14 men you have to close the game up a bit - the stint with me in the scrum was quite interesting.
"We went to a kick-chase game which paid dividends, we clawed our way back territorially and had a couple of opportunities to win the game.
"It's fine lines at this level but hopefully we've done everyone proud.
We train a lot with 14 men, we defended for our lives out there and it just wasn't to be
"We'll train hard this week, we won't throw it all away now, and try to win next week."
Prop Gethin Jenkins said: "It was always going to be tough with the sending-off but we gave it our all right to the end. It's just disappointing.
"It changed the game a bit, we had to play a different style but fair play to the French, they held us out.
"We'll work on what went wrong, we've got a young side for the future."
"With 14 men you have to close the game up a bit, we went for a kick-chasegame and it paid dividends really.
"We had a couple of opportunities to win the game and unfortunately Stephen hit the post and Leigh was half a metre short with a kick from the halfway line.
"We train a lot with 14 men, we defended for our lives out there and it just wasn't to be."
Wing Shane Williams said: "There's no bitterness, the side who played the best today won.
"We knew the France team turning up today would be a good France team - Parra at 10 had a great game, he bossed things. We wish them all the best in the final.
"We're absolutely devastated, we worked hard getting through the group and it was a great performance last week."
Jasmine Lapsley, from Liverpool, was on holiday with family in Morfa Nefyn, Gwynedd, when she began struggling for breath on August 19, 2014.
Her father Robert told the Caernarfon hearing that ambulance staff looked "panicked" when they arrived to help.
She later died at hospital in Bangor.
Mr Lapsley told the inquest Jasmine was playing cards with one of her two brothers when he heard his wife Kathleen shouting: "She's choking. Jasmine's choking."
He said: "I jumped over the back of the couch. I grabbed her. I started hitting her on the back."
When that failed to stop his daughter choking, he started abdominal thrusts, however shortly after "her whole body stiffened," he said.
While his mother and his wife rang an ambulance, Mr Lapsley took his daughter outside and laid her on the grass.
A neighbour, off-duty police officer Aled Hughes, and later his wife Awen, came to help.
The inquest heard Mrs Hughes was a trainer of community first responders, and took over efforts to revive Jasmine.
Mr Lapsley said: "When they were doing CPR they were helping Jasmine. The colour returned to her cheeks."
He described how his daughter moved while Mr and Mrs Hughes were trying to treat her, and it gave him "some hope".
The inquest heard that a fire crew was flagged down, about 15 minutes after Jasmine started choking.
Mr Lapsley said he could hear one of them saying "Where is it? Where is it?" He said they were talking about the helicopter, adding: "They were frustrated."
He also told the inquest: "I'm sure I heard one of them say 'no, we need it in the air now'."
When two community first responders arrived, Mr Lapsley said they were asked if they had suction with them. He said they "shrugged their shoulders," adding: "They just seemed emotionless if I'm being totally honest."
An RAF helicopter arrived, and Jasmine was driven in the ambulance the short distance to where the helicopter was waiting.
Before she was carried to the helicopter from the ambulance, Mr Lapsley said: "We were literally just left standing in the car park.... the doors were open, they closed the doors on us."
He said: "We didn't know what was going on," adding that it looked as though the ambulance staff were panicked.
He later told the inquest: "Nobody took control."
After Mr and Mrs Lapsley arrived at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor they were told Jasmine "might not make it through the night".
After seeking the advice of specialists, treatment was withdrawn and she was pronounced dead at 23:58 BST.
The inquest continues.

Wales international Cuthbert, 26, scored Blues' opening try, but was later forced off by a groin problem.
"He needs a bit of luck because his work ethic certainly deserves it," said Wilson of Cuthbert after the game.
Blues fly-half Gareth Anscombe came off after the break with a cut head and may be tested for concussion.
Cuthbert missed Wales' June tour to New Zealand after having knee surgery and last played a Test in March, the Six Nations defeat by England at Twickenham.
Anscombe, 25, has made eight Wales appearances as a utility back since arriving from New Zealand side Chiefs.
Wilson added: "Alex scored a great try and was doing really well before he got injured and, fingers crossed, it's just short-term.
"Gareth's cut looks a bit of a nasty one - a bit of an error at the base of a scrum for us that led to it - but he has some stitches in his head and I'm sure it will be a short-term recovery, hopefully without concussion.
"We'll wait and make those assessments at the start of next week."
Unbeaten Blues travel to Zebre next Saturday, hoping to avoid a repeat of the 26-15 reverse they suffered there in October.
Scientists are waiting for the first new data to begin flowing from the underground particle smasher, paving the way to a new era in physics.
On Wednesday, the vast machine clattered proton beams together at much higher energies than were achieved during its first run in 2010-2013.
This should allow physicists to hunt for signs of new scientific phenomena.
Situated 100m beneath tranquil countryside on the Franco-Swiss border, the particle smasher operated by Cern has already carried out test collisions at the energy of 13 trillion electron volts (TeV), up from a high mark of 8 TeV achieved during the machine's first run.
Now, with the first "physics collisions", scientists can begin their work.
At 0940, operators at the control room in Geneva guided two stable beams of proton particles around the LHC before slamming them into one another at designated points along the 27km-long underground ring.
Huge detectors stationed at these positions began recording the energetic smash-ups, capturing the information necessary to eventually identify exotic new particles in the sub-atomic wreckage.
Cern's outgoing director-general, Rolf Heuer, congratulated staff, but cautioned against expecting too much in the way of results, too early, saying: "It's not going to happen tomorrow... be patient."
But he explained: "We are living through a fantastic moment."
Fabiola Gianotti, the director-general elect, added: "A higher energy will allow us to address the great outstanding questions in particle physics."
Sergio Bertolucci, Cern's head of research, commented: "We have the best ship in the world, we have the best crew - now we are ready to go on the next exploration."
He added: "We are going into a vastly uncharted space and there could be big surprises."
Operators encountered problems with the machine earlier on Wednesday morning, and at one stage, the proton beams were lost. But they overcame these technical issues to begin the first collisions.
During its initial run, the LHC bagged the Higgs boson - the last missing piece in the Standard Model, which has been the predominant theory of particle physics since the 1970s. But the boost in energy is vital for punching through to a new domain where further discoveries about the Universe are possible.
"This period is really when we start to get the first significant data from the 13 TeV collisions. It is a bit like turning on a tap, but this is just the start," Dan Tovey, professor of particle physics at the University of Sheffield, UK, told BBC News.
"Over the next few months, the rate of collisions will increase very significantly, so that by the middle of the summer we'll have sufficient data that we can begin breaking new ground in our searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model, that we couldn't probe with the previous run of the LHC."
Early discoveries could include hitherto unseen "partner" particles to those in the Standard Model that are part of a scheme known as supersymmetry, or SUSY.
Many physicists had hoped to detect hints of SUSY before the LHC's shutdown in early 2013, but with no evidence having been found so far, a major theoretical re-think has been required, with some variants of the scheme being tossed on the bonfire.
Prof Tovey says this had a "big impact" on the field, but adds "there is a huge region of parameter space that is still allowed and so hopes of a discovery are high". Like many particle physicists, he thinks supersymmetry is the best current framework for explaining some of the limitations of the Standard Model.
One of the first supersymmetric particles to be detected might be one called the gluino. Another novel addition to the zoo of cosmic building blocks might be the particle responsible for dark matter, which makes up some 27% of the Universe.
Because dark matter is expected to be "invisible" at sub-atomic as well as astronomical scales, physicists will have to look for indirect evidence of its production. One of the key signs that dark matter may have been generated is an apparent imbalance in momentum before and after a particle collision known as "missing transverse energy".
"If you see such a signature at the LHC which can't be explained by Standard Model physics, what that's perhaps telling you is that you're turning normal matter into dark matter. If that's the case, the LHC would be acting as a dark matter factory, which is quite a neat idea," said Dan Tovey.
The boost to collisions at 13 TeV has been made possible after a two-year programme of repairs and upgrades, including the re-soldering of thousands of connections between the LHC's superconducting magnets after flaws were found.
"We did changes, upgrades and modifications to the machine to make it run at higher energies," Paul Collier, the head of Cern's beam department, told BBC News.
"The thing about the LHC is that you are dealing with many different systems, but they all have to work together to ensure they're playing the same tune."
Over the coming months, he said, "we will slowly bring up the collision rate, but it needs to be done in stable conditions".
The proton beams in the LHC contain as much energy as a speeding train, but each beam contains billions of particles - only a fraction of which will collide at the crossing points.
The energy of two protons colliding in the LHC is equivalent to that of a dozen mosquitoes in flight. But the extraordinary thing about this machine is that the energy is packed into a minuscule space, billions of times smaller than the humble mozzie.
In this way, the collider is able to recreate energy densities close to those that existed just after the Big Bang - allowing physicists to probe the very fabric of the cosmos.

Northampton Saint North will be 23 years and 138 days when he runs out at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
He has scored 22 tries and played three Lions Tests, but Gatland wants more from his giant wing.
"I think he's got the ability to be a lot better than he is," he said.
"He's had 50 caps which is fantastic but I think there's still a lot of improvement.
"And probably in the last 12 months he hasn't played as well as we would have liked, he's aware of that and we've been working hard on his game."
North will be playing for the first time in five months following an enforced lay-off to recover from concussion.
He scored a hat-trick of tries on his last appearance for Wales against Italy in the 2015 Six Nations, and scored two for the British and Irish Lions during the 2013 Test series against Australia.
However, Gatland believes North's recent international form has not been up to the standards he believes the player is capable of because of a tendency to become peripheral to the action.
"Players of that ability need to get their hands on the ball," he added.
"He probably went through a couple of campaigns where his touches weren't enough, and he made some defensive errors so it was pleasing to see some of that confidence has come back into his game [against Italy]."
However, Gatland, who first capped North as an 18-year-old against South Africa in 2010, said North's achievements were "fantastic".
"What he has achieved in the game at such a young age is exceptional," he said.
"I remember seeing him as an 18-year-old playing for the Scarlets and saying 'look we have to cap him as soon as possible because there's a freakish talent there'.
"I don't think we've seen the full extent of the potential he still has to be and a player and we still haven't ruled in the future that he couldn't be an outstanding centre as well."

The ministry of information and broadcasting said NDTV Hindi revealed "strategically-sensitive details" while covering the attack on the Pathankot air force base in January.
NDTV denied the accusation, saying its coverage was "particularly balanced".
Seven Indian soldiers and six militants were killed in the attack.
India accused Pakistan-based group Jaish-e-Mohammad of carrying out the assault.
The ministry said the channel would be taken off air on 9 November for 24 hours for revealing information on ammunition and the locations of military planes.
This is believed to be the first order against an Indian broadcaster over its coverage of terrorist attacks.
NDTV said it was looking at "all possible options" in response to the "extraordinary order". The channel has also received support from the Editors Guild of India, an organisation of top editors which condemned the "unprecedented decision".
The group demanded the order be rescinded
The news is also trending on Twitter under the #NDTVBanned hashtag. Some users have criticised the government for banning the channel.
But others supported the government's ban.
The prisoners broke out of the jail in Nuevo Laredo late on Thursday or early on Friday morning.
Security guards are being questioned on suspicion of helping the inmates flee, and prison director has gone missing.
Mexico's prison system is struggling to cope with an influx of violent offenders arrested in the government's campaign against drugs cartels.
Nuevo Laredo in Tamaulipas state lies just across the border from Laredo, Texas.
Tamaulipas security chief Antonio Garza said the break-out - one of the largest in the country's history - went unnoticed until guards carried out a routine head count.
Officials believe the inmates had escaped through one of the prison's back gates, with the connivance of one or more security guards.
Mr Garza said all the guards were being considered suspects in helping the prisoners to flee, and the prison director had been "listed as missing".
Security forces in the area have launched a massive search, while troops and federal police have been deployed to guard the prison.
It usually holds about 1,000 inmates, many of them convicted of federal crimes such as drugs and kidnapping.
This is the second mass prison break in northern Mexico in recent months.
In September, 85 prisoners escaped from a jail in the nearby border city of Reynosa, also in Tamaulipas.
The northern border region is the scene of rising lawlessness as the cartels fight the security forces and battle each other for control of smuggling routes into the US.
The drug cartels' capacity for violence and ability to pay huge bribes gives them considerable power to subvert the prison system and get their people out.
In July, Mexican prosecutors accused guards at a prison in Durango state of allowing inmates to leave the jail to carry out contract killings for the cartels, and of lending them weapons and vehicles.
The summit, to be held in the capital, Nairobi, from 24-26 July, could provide "a target for terrorists", the US State Department said in a statement.

Naomi Eisenstadt told the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme there should be more "targeting" of public money towards those who need it most.
A independent report by Ms Eisenstadt, published earlier this week, urged the Scottish government to end the council tax freeze in 2017/2018.
Ministers said they were committed to their universal benefits policies.
Universal benefits include things like free prescriptions, free school meals and tuition fees.
Speaking on the BBC Scotland programme, Oxford University research fellow Ms Eisenstadt, said: "All universal benefits help everyone, not just the poorest.
"The difficulty is that there is a balance between the bureaucracy in administering means tested benefits, and sometimes the stigma associated, against how do you spend your money most effectively.
"I think we have gone too far in Scotland on the universal side and not far enough on the targeting.
"I think on the targeting we need to make the culture of public services more respectful and therefore avoid stigma that way."
Ms Eisenstadt, who was appointed by Ms Sturgeon in 2015 to provide advice on poverty and inequality, said she thought it was "wrong" that she got the winter fuel subsidy and that "in times of austerity" some pensioners had "benefited enormously".
The Smith Commission has recommended control over the winter fuel payment, which currently rests with Westminster, is transferred to the Holyrood.
The poverty advisor also reiterated her view that the council tax freeze "does not help poor people".
She said: "It does help better off people because housing hasn't been revalued for the last 25 years, so people living in the most expensive properties, where they have gone up in value, their taxes haven't changed."
"The reason it's a disadvantage to poor people is that local authorities need the funding to fund services that mainly help the poorest people.
"I think that local authorities need more discretion over their spend and the way they get that discretion is by deciding for themselves what to charge for property tax."
Speaking at the launch of Ms Eisenstadt's report on Wednesday, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon welcomed her findings and said the government would "look at what we're doing well, and where we can improve".
Responding to the advisor's latest comments, a Scottish government spokeswoman said: "We remain committed to our universal benefits policies such as free school meals, prescriptions and tuition fees to tackle inequalities.
"We welcome Naomi Eisenstadt's report and we will respond formally to it before the end of March, setting out how we intend to take forward its recommendations."
Ryan Morse, from Brynithel, died on 8 December 2012, of Addison's disease.
Dr Lindsey Thomas, 42, of Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent, and Dr Joanne Rudling, 46, of Pontprennau, Cardiff, deny the charges.
Cardiff Crown Court heard Ryan's mother made several appointments at Abernant Surgery in Abertillery, but they failed to diagnose his condition.
Prosecutor John Price QC said: "The cause of his death was what is called an Addison's disease crisis.
"Addison's disease is a rare but treatable disease. There are 10 to 15 cases for every 100,000 people."
The jury heard Ryan's mother became concerned with her son's health during the summer holidays of 2012 when he complained of a bad head, sore throat and aching legs.
She was concerned his skin was "yellowing" and feared he may have glandular fever.
The court heard his discolouration had become so obvious his friends had given him the nickname Teabag.
When he fell seriously ill in December 2012, his mother Carol called the surgery and asked for the doctor to call her back, declining an appointment because she felt Ryan was too unwell to move from his bed.
Mr Price told jurors the doctors should have visited Ryan's home to personally examine him.
"Had that happened it would have confirmed the severity of the situation. They would have seen a very sick child in need of immediate attention.
"Ryan was, in fact, dying."
If they were not able to attend his house, Mr Price said the doctors should have sent an ambulance to take him to hospital.
"If they had done as they should, his life would have been saved," he added.
The court heard Ryan weighed just 4st 11lb at the time of his death.
Mr Price told the court that Dr Rudling failed to weigh him during two appointments, where she became aware of his weight loss.
During police interviews almost a year after his death, Dr Rudling said she thought his weight loss was because he had grown taller.
But Mr Price said: "He was very significantly underweight for a child of his age."
The allegations include a claim that an investigation into a paedophile ring in the 1970s in London was closed down on instructions by high-ranking officers.
Another allegation involves claims that Special Branch interfered in an investigation involving an MP.
All relate to child sex offences from the 1970s to the 2000s, the IPCC said.
Twelve involve the Metropolitan Police and one relates to Essex Police, it added.
The investigations are to be conducted by the Metropolitan Police's professional standards department, but will be overseen by the IPCC.
The majority of the investigations stem from allegations made by retired Met Police officers.
The investigations involve allegations that:
Three of the cases involve the Met's former Special Branch - the team that had responsibility for, among other things, personal protection for VIPs, including many politicians.
The latest investigations are in addition to 17 inquires announced earlier this year.
They all related to claims about the alleged suppressing evidence, officers hindering or halting investigations, and claims offences were covered up because of the involvement of MPs and police officers.
IPCC Commissioner Jennifer Izekor said: "We are continuing to receive further referrals from the Met and have now assessed that a further 12 require management by the IPCC in addition to one from Essex Police.
"Our investigators will now oversee these investigations and ensure they meet our robust standards."
BBC home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds said the announcement of further inquiries was a "very significant development" and that the IPCC now had an "enormous workload" to carry out.
"I think this stems very much from police officers from the past coming forward and saying 'hang on a second I've got concerns about something I saw back them when I was working'," our correspondent said.
He said the inquiries were an attempt to address the "growing number of concerns among senior officers".
Scotland Yard said that since March it had referred a total of 47 allegations to the IPCC concerning historical claims of impropriety by police officers when dealing with sex abuse between 1970 and 2005.
A spokeswoman said: "The IPCC has decided to manage 29 of those investigations; we await a decision on the remaining 18.
"We would encourage anyone who has information or knowledge of how these historic cases were investigated to come forward and assist with the investigations."
Essex Police said its professional standards department would liaise with the Met and the IPCC.
It comes amid signs that Argentina may start talks with investors who refused to take part in two restructurings.
Argentina has been in a bitter row with hedge funds which are demanding full payment for bonds they bought after the country defaulted.
"We want to pay 100% of creditors," the president said on Friday.
Argentina has for years refused to even consider talks with so-called "hold-out" creditors whom Ms Fernandez has called "vultures".
The country has been in a 12-year fight in the US courts with hold-outs who declined to participate a 2005 and 2010 revamp of debt securities.
Under the deal, 92% of bondholders accepted about a third of the original value of their investment.
But on Monday, a US Supreme Court ruling sided with bondholders demanding Argentina pay them the full $1.3bn (£766m) value.
The bondholders also won the right to use the US courts to force Argentina to reveal where it owns assets around the world.
The court's decision means that bondholders should find it easier to collect their debts.
Ms Fernandez made her comments during a speech celebrating Argentine Flag Day.
She said government lawyers will go to New York to ask the judge who ordered the payment to give Argentina fair conditions to negotiate with the hold-outs.
Following the Supreme Court's decision, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that Argentina's legal defeat may have wider implications. The IMF said it was concerned about "broader systemic implications" for other countries seeking to restructure their debts.
But for Eleanor Brown, it was a reality. It didn't just happen once, but four times.
Eleanor went into labour nine weeks prematurely with her twins.
Arriving at the Ulster Hospital just outside Belfast, where she had been for all her pre-natal care, she was told there were not enough intensive care incubators for both babies.
She was moved to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital, but because she had been given medication to slow her labour during the journey, she was sent home.
The next morning it was back to the Ulster Hospital, but there still were not enough specialised incubators, so Eleanor was then taken to Craigavon Area Hospital in County Armagh.
Once she arrived there, it was more bad news - the incubators were no longer available, so it was back into the ambulance.
After an hour and half she arrived at Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry, just in time for the arrival of her twin girls.
Each time she moved hospitals the process of taking bloods, and examinations had to begin again.
"I was so scared with strangers coming in," Eleanor said. "You were always constantly having to introduce yourself and trying to just get on with it. To be honest all I wanted was just to be in the one place with the one doctor, someone who was a bit familiar."
After a few days in Altnagelvin, word came that there was space in an intensive care unit (ICU) incubator at the Ulster Hospital, but only for one baby. The other twin would follow at some point, but it was not known if it would be days or weeks.
The couple refused to have the girls moved to hospitals that are 75 miles apart.
Eleanor told the BBC other mothers should not have to go through the same thing.
"It's common knowledge, it happens, and it's just kind of brushed under. It will continue to happen which is why we've decided to speak out."
Her husband Ross Brown said the solution is simple. "They need more ICU cots, and they definitely need to not say to people that they don't want to worry women.
"At the start of their pregnancy they should just say there's a chance you're not going to give birth here. No-one should have to go through what we went through."
The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) agreed with his point about communication.
At the moment, it is normal practice with multiple births to tell mothers having three or more babies that they may have to go to a different hospital.
Breedagh Hughes from the RCM said that this case has highlighted that mothers of twins should be told that too.
"Even if a unit does its best to keep two cots available, they have to deal with whatever comes through the door, and it may be that somebody comes in in more urgent need. But I do think there's a job of work to be done about explaining this to women so it doesn't come as a shock."
A spokesperson for the Ulster Hospital said they always make "every effort when there is a multiple birth to inform parents if there is a possibility that they may not be able to give birth in the Ulster Hospital."
Ross and Eleanor said the key is the timing of that conversation. They believe that during labour is not the appropriate moment to start explaining to a woman why she needs to be moved.
The Health and Social Care Board's spokesperson said there are 21 intensive care incubators in Northern Ireland - which is proportional to the size of the population.
The board said: "Whilst the service endeavours to provide care as close to the families' home as possible... this cannot be achieved on all occasions.
"Where babies have to be moved to a neonatal unit outside of their own trust for clinical reasons, trusts make every effort to repatriate babies back to their home trust as soon as possible."
The number of hospitals in Northern Ireland means the incubators are spread relatively thinly, and as multiple births become more common, stories like Eleanor's may become more common.
The female boar strayed from its normal habitat to the Chai Wan mall in the east of Hong Kong, where it stayed for four hours.
Reports said it climbed up a ladder before falling through the shop's roof.
The 25kg (55lb) boar was eventually tranquilised before being taken to an animal rehabilitation centre.
News reports in Hong Kong said the boar fell through the roof on to the top of display case.
It then jumped to the floor and ran around the shop, knocking over mannequins and signs.
The shop's manager told the South China Morning Post: "It just came in out of nowhere, and turned around at the window.
"It also pushed open the fitting room door and got in. Pigs are actually not stupid."
Wild boar are common in Hong Kong's countryside, and can become aggressive when confronted.
They can grow to 2m in length (6.6 feet) and weigh up to 200kg (440lb).
The ruling VMRO-DPMNE, led by former conservative Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, declared itself the winner, despite votes still being counted.
But the SDSM social democrats also claimed a narrow victory.
There were no exit polls for Sunday's election, called two years early as part of a Western-brokered agreement to end a paralysing political crisis.
Vlatko Gjorcev, a senior official in Mr Gruevski's party, told supporters at the group's headquarters: "We won once again. Tonight, today on December 11, the tenth victory in a row."
Meanwhile SDSM leader Zoran Zaev, quoted by AFP news agency, told a cheering crowd. "We are the winners!"
The 18-year-old will officially join the League One side when the transfer window opens on Sunday.

Christy George, 38, of Nottingham, hit a lorry which crashed into the central reservation between junctions 21a and 22 of the M1 in Leicestershire.
Leicester Crown Court heard she deleted a record of phone calls made during her journey in November 2014.
George, a nurse, will be sentenced on 15 July.
The court has heard George's Skoda hit a lorry which crashed through to the northbound carriageway, spilling its load of beer barrels and hitting a BMW travelling in the opposite direction.
The collision closed the road for 18 hours, a jury was told.
The BMW driver, Murray Simpson, from London, died in the crash, while another driver - Liese Bowers-Straw - broke her neck in two places and suffered brain and head injuries.
George, who was driving to a Coventry hospital to work a night shift, had denied causing death by dangerous driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and perverting the course of justice, but was found guilty of all charges after a trial.
Leicestershire Police said during her journey, George made phone calls to a friend and her husband.
The court heard the calls George made involved unlocking and pressing icons on her iPhone to connect the calls, but she said she spoke and listened through a hands-free speaker system.
She said the use of her phone was a "one-off incident" which does not represent her usual driving habits.
"We're pleased that the jury has found Christy George guilty and we hope it acts as a deterrent to other road users," Det Con Pete Davies said.
"Murray Simpson's partner and family have lost a loved one and while no amount of punishment will help them move on...we hope the fact that someone has been prosecuted for their actions will show them that justice has been done."
Michael Bryan said the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis - a lung disease - at a Youth Select Committee meeting on 14 July.
However, as it was not a parliamentary proceeding it will not be officially recorded in Hansard.
MP Jacob Rees-Mogg's use of 29-letter floccinaucinihilipilification in 2012 remains the longest recorded.
A House of Commons spokeswoman said although Mr Bryan's use of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis would not appear in Hansard, it would appear on the British Youth Council website.
The Oxford English Dictionary said the word was "invented in imitation of very long medical terms".
Addressing body image therapist and psychotherapist Liz Ritchie during the meeting, Mr Bryan, from Bournemouth, said: "The 2015 Youth Select Committee report cited children and young people's mental services as the Cinderella of Cinderella services.
"Regarding the lack of funding and attention do you agree that there should be parity of esteem between mental conditions such as body dysmorphia and physical conditions such as pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis."
Mr Bryan, who starts sixth form in Dorset in September, said he had not tried to break any record by uttering the longest word in the House of Commons, but said he had intended its use might help raise awareness about mental health issues.
"I wanted to show the disparity between mental and physical condition," he said.
"I set out to raise awareness and even if just one person is inspired I have done my job."
According to the Oxford English Dictionary it is "an invented long word said to mean a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine ash and sand dust".
It originated in the 1930s and was "probably" invented by Everett M Smith - the then president of the National Puzzlers' League, it said.
Defending champion Rory McIlroy aims to put a poor run of form in 2013 behind him as he targets a third major success.
But world number one Tiger Woods will be looking to add to his 14 majors, and enters the competition in great shape after a fifth tournament win of the year in Ohio last week.

No other vehicle was involved in the incident and police are appealing for witnesses.
The A2 Belfast-Bangor road remained closed until midday causing considerable traffic disruption, but has since reopened.
The Proteas, needing 218 to win, never recovered after a disastrous start left them 10-3 and were bowled out for 109.
Slow left-armer Jadeja took 5-21 on his comeback after being dropped for recent tours of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
India began the day on 125-2 in their second innings but were skittled for 200, with Cheteshwar Pujara hitting 77.
South Africa had won the Twenty20 series 2-0 and taken the five-match one-day series 3-2 to raise hopes of a first Test series win on Indian soil in 15 years - and gave themselves a chance by bowling India out cheaply for a second time.
The Proteas' bowling attack was lacking injured paceman Dale Steyn, off the field with a groin strain, but spinners Imran Tahir (4-48) and Simon Harmer (4-61) did the damage. Indeed, 34 of the 40 wickets in the Test fell to spin.
But South Africa, who trailed by 17 runs on first innings, failed to come to grips with the conditions. Their batsmen were rattled with the ball turning viciously and also keeping low on the odd occasion.
Stiaan van Zyl top-scored for the tourists with 36, but seven batsmen failed to reach double figures.
Jadeja and fellow spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took the new ball and finished with match figures of 8-94 and 8-90 respectively.
With Virat Kohli having secured his first home Test win as India captain, the second of the four-match Test series begins in Bangalore on 14 November.
He called for a debate about how to address the "erosion" in programming.
So in the year since, how has the industry responded?
There were many thoughtful nods among the invited audience at the Pierhead building in Cardiff Bay as they listened to Lord Hall's speech.
His remarks about the health of English language broadcasting in Wales reinforced a view many present had come to accept.
But Lord Hall left little doubt that tight financial settlements had also contributed to the prioritising of news, current affairs and factual programming at BBC Wales over the more expensive options of drama, comedy and entertainment.
While his comments were directed at the broader TV industry in Wales, it was his own organisation which took much of the resulting scrutiny.
Despite an agreeable audience, the strength of his statement surprised many.
Wales-based network BBC TV dramas such as Doctor Who, Sherlock and Casualty have helped to boost the nation's reputation for programme-making.
But it was specifically programmes made in Wales that reflect Welsh life which Lord Hall felt had been eroded.
The independent television producer Angela Graham listened to the speech.
"Who could fail to be surprised when the director general of the BBC comes to Wales, a relatively rare event, and acknowledges an erosion in English language television over the last decade?
"It's surprising because an institution tends not to volunteer its weaknesses into the public domain.
"So the fact that the director general did focus on a weakness in the BBC's service for Wales was extremely significant. I would call it a game-changer."
Levels of English-language programming have fallen among all of the public service broadcasters. It is a decline that Ms Graham has observed first-hand.
"I take a particular interest in science documentaries, and whenever I ask anybody 'When did you last see a science documentary made in Wales that wasn't about the natural world?'
"I've never found anybody who could think of anything within the last 25 years, and I suspect the last 30 years. And that seems extraordinary.
"We have the Welsh government trying to encourage young people in Wales to take an interest in science, we have world class research happening in Wales, but the Welsh do not see themselves on television being scientists in the English language."
The director of BBC Wales, Rhodri Talfan Davies, accepts the deficiencies in his TV output.
"I think spending on English language television has fallen by 30 or 35% over the last seven or eight years, so Tony was identifying the consequences of that - which is that as you protect vital services like news, there is less money to go around for other areas of national life that might be captured through drama, comedy or entertainment."
Following Lord Hall's speech, I was asked by producers within the BBC and the independent sector whether the director general brought his cheque book to Cardiff.
But a continuing shortage of cash appears to be the main explanation for the decline in programming.
"The BBC has faced a 26% funding reduction in real terms over the last four years, there aren't magic pots of cash.
"But I think what Tony was saying was we need to think through how we want Wales to be best served by its public broadcasters over the years to come," said Mr Talfan Davies.
While the BBC has been the focus of much of the discussion since Tony Hall's visit, other public service broadcasters have also made changes, though not necessarily as a result of the director-general's intervention.
ITV Wales didn't want to be interviewed on the topic, but every week the channel broadcasts four hours of news programmes, and 90 minutes of non-news programmes for its Welsh audience.
While the quantity of programming is unlikely to increase, commissioners from the ITV network have begun holding regular meetings with the independent sector in the hope that the number of programmes that are made in Wales and shown on ITV across the UK can increase.
But ITV Wales's days of producing home-grown drama and comedy series appear to be consigned to history.
While it has recently broadcast new documentaries like The Mountain and My Grandfather Dylan, other genres of programming remain too costly for the broadcaster's Welsh channel to commission.
Content made in Wales, though not necessarily reflecting Welsh life, is set to increase on Channel 4.
As part of the renewal of its 10-year licence, the channel has committed to tripling its quota for programmes made outside England from 3% to 9% by 2020.
PAST AND PRESENT ITV WALES PROGRAMMES:
Wales This Week - long-running investigative series
Sharp End - political discussion and debate with Adrian Masters.
Nuts and Bolts - drama filmed in Merthyr and set in the fictional south Wales town of Ystrad, which ran for four series from 1999-2002.
Barry Welsh Is Coming - comedy sketch show starring John Sparkes which originally ran from 1996-2004.
Fishlock's Wales - one of a number of ITV Wales travel programmes presented by the veteran broadcaster Trevor Fishlock.
Some of the debate over programming for Welsh audiences has taken place publicly over the past year. The Institute of Welsh Affairs (IWA) held a media summit in Cardiff in December, where broadcasters and production companies gathered to discuss the issues facing the industry.
The organisation is now conducting a media audit which it hopes will identify the areas of Welsh life that are represented by broadcasters, as well as those that are not.
But another, greater discussion, is about to begin. After the general election in May the process of negotiating the BBC's Royal Charter will begin, with the conclusions set to confirm the 10-year priorities and funding for the BBC from 2017.
While the strength of Lord Hall's language last year took some in the industry by surprise, it was also a warning shot for the opinion formers and politicians sitting among the TV types in the audience.
He will expect them to lobby hard over the coming months, not least because the financial and editorial outcomes of the charter renewal process may help to determine whether the erosion of English language programming in Wales can be reversed.

The Playboy empire could fetch more than $500m (£354m), say sources quoted by news oulets including the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times.
The reported move comes after Playboy magazine stopped publishing nude photos saying they had become outdated.
Circulation numbers have plummeted to about 800,000 last year from 5.6m copies in 1975.
Investment bank Moelis & Co has reportedly been hired to handle the sale process.
Mr Hefner founded Playboy in 1953 with actress Marilyn Monroe as its debut centrefold "Playmate of the Month."
It quickly became an iconic brand and its logo of a bunny wearing a bow tie has been used for a variety of businesses, including clubs and restaurants.
The company's financial details are not easily available after Mr Hefner and investment firm Rizvi Traverse Management took the company private in 2011.
But under that deal, Playboy was valued at around $207m.
According to the reports, Playboy was approached about the sale of the entire company after Mr Hefner's home was put up for sale in January.
The Playboy Mansion - famous for its decadent parties - has a $200m asking price and includes a lifelong lease for the velvet jacket-wearing Mr Hefner.
If sold at that price, the Los Angeles property will become one of the most expensive private residences in the US.
The flagship magazine is struggling to attract subscribers and advertisers after dropping its famous nude spreads.
Playboy chief executive Scott Flanders has said the shift in the company's strategy is due to its inability to compete with the availability of free internet pornography.
It has since toned down its content and images to be "PG-13" in order to attract more traffic to its website and social media .
Overall, the publishing industry is expected to lose $4bn in advertising sales over the next four years.
The men, aged between 61 and 77. are accused of physically and sexually abusing boys at the former St Ninian's School in Falkland.
All five pleaded not guilty to the charges at the High Court in Glasgow.
The accused are John Farrell, 72, Paul Kelly, 62, Edward Egan, 77, Michael Murphy, 75, and William Don, 61.
The 23-page indictment lists 131 charges involving more than 40 alleged victims.
The Roman Catholic school was run by the Christian Brothers organisation until St Ninian's closed in the 1980s.
Prosecutors allege a number of sexual attacks took place against pupils there.
Among others claims is an accusation that Mr Kelly left a young boy rolled up in a rug overnight.
He is also said to have hung another pupil upside down from a bridge.
Mr Farrell faces a charge that in the early 1980s he indecently assaulted a boy at a monastery on the isle of Iona.
He is further said to have attacked the same boy at a Catholic church in Motherwell in 1999.
Judge Lord Turnbull adjourned the case until a further hearing in July and no trial was set.
The attendance of Mr Egan and Mr Murphy will be excused at the next hearing.
Brianna Olivas, 18, from Tucson, Arizona, was sleeping with the phone nearby when her boyfriend noticed it smoking and emitting a strange noise.
He moved the phone away from her and took a video, which has gone viral, in which the handset can clearly be seen emitting smoke.
Apple has replaced both the phone and the case that were damaged.
Brianna told the BBC that she had noticed a problem with the phone, which she bought in January, the day before it caught fire.
"It wouldn't turn on so I took it into a store," she said.
"They were able to get the phone on and ran diagnostics. They said nothing was wrong with it and everything was fine."
But the next morning she woke to discover her phone on fire.
"I sleep with my phone next to me. It was on the bed right next to my head. My boyfriend actually moved the phone to the dresser and went into the bathroom," she said.
"From the corner of his eye he saw the phone smoking and heard a squealing noise coming from it. I woke up because I heard the noise and then he started raising his voice."
Brianna's boyfriend grabbed the phone and moved it into the bathroom.
"Right when he put it there, it blew up and even more smoke was coming out," she said. "The phone smelt so bad. I can't really explain the smell but it was really strong. It made the whole apartment smell."
Despite the problem with Brianna's phone, there is no indication of a widespread problem with iPhone handsets.
A spokesperson told digital media website Mashable that the firm was "looking into" the issue.
But Brianna's not sleeping with her phone so close for the time being.
"The past two nights it hasn't been on my bed at all," she said.

The McLaren driver missed the season's first race in Australia on 15 March after a crash in pre-season testing.
His adviser Luis Garcia Abad refused to confirm reports in Spain that Alonso had got the all-clear after the tests.
"It is private so I cannot confirm or deny it, but I have no doubts he will go to Malaysia as planned," he said.
The Marca and As newspapers said Alonso had been given short- and long-term memory and reflex tests in Cambridge on Sunday.
Alonso had been keen to do the tests before flying to Malaysia this week, to do everything he could to ensure there would be no problems with his plans to return to the cockpit.
The tests were conducted by an independent board of three eminent physicians at Cambridge University, set up by Formula 1's governing body the FIA as an extra medical panel when required.
Spaniard Alonso, a double world champion, will have further tests on his arrival at the Sepang track this week, among them a full assessment of his recovery from concussion and cognitive function, called an Impact test.
Following his apparent all-clear from the doctors at Cambridge, there is now no reason to believe Alonso will not also pass the tests in Malaysia and race next weekend as scheduled.
The 33-year-old also completed a session in McLaren's simulator earlier this week without problems.
McLaren say they will be guided by official medical advice when they receive it.
The UN's updated sanctions list named the four as Omar Hussain from High Wycombe, Nasser Muthana from Cardiff, Aqsa Mahmood from Glasgow and Sally-Anne Jones from Chatham in Kent.
They will face a travel ban and a freeze of their assets.
The move is a new tactic to stem the flow of recruits to the IS group.
At least 700 Britons have travelled to support or fight for jihadist groups in Syria and Iraq, according to British police. About half have since returned to the UK.
It is the first time since 2006 that Britain has submitted names to the UN sanctions regime, which was set up to tackle suspected al-Qaeda terrorism and extended to IS.
A government official said the move was intended to send out a deterrent message.
One name submitted to the sanctions committee is still to be approved and more are expected to be put forward.
Jones has written on Twitter that she is "laughing out loud" at receiving the travel ban, but her latest account has since been suspended by the company.
The family of Mahmood described the move as "useless grandstanding" by David Cameron.
By Dominic Casciani, home affairs correspondent, BBC News
Financial sanctions lists are arguably as symbolic as they are practical. Unusually, they put the names of suspects in the public domain, even if they have not faced arrest, charge and prosecution.
Although this is the first time the UN list has been used against Britons in Syria, the broadly comparable UK Treasury list has been used to target two other men.
The aim is disruption.
Banks and other institutions prevent named suspects getting at any cash they have, receiving funding and moving it around. On that level, the sanctions obviously perform a job.
But the effect on any target inside IS territory, who has no intention of leaving or using their British bank card, is obviously limited.
IS recruits bring plenty of cash, knowing they won't be able to get hold of what they leave behind.
Dossiers of evidence were submitted to show the Britons were "participating in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing, or perpetrating of acts or activities" related to IS.
Uploading bomb-making instructions to social media was among the activities.
The government official said: "We will absolutely go after people who fight for Isil [also known as IS] and are threatening our country."
The four named by the government have been widely reported by the British media for their alleged IS activities.
Aqsa Mahmood travelled to Syria in 2013 and is believed to have married an IS fighter.
She is described on the list as being a recruiter for the militant group and a key figure in the al-Khanssaa brigade - a female brigade within IS, established in the Syrian city of Raqqa to enforce its interpretation of Sharia law.
Nasser Muthana and Omar Hussain travelled to Syria in 2013 and 2014 respectively and are both described as IS fighters.
Sally-Anne Jones, who was married to Junaid Hussain, a British jihadist killed in a Syria drone strike, travelled to Syria with her husband in 2013 and is on the list for being a recruiter for the group.
Aamer Anwar, the Mahmood family's lawyer, said they were "horrified and distraught".
"They believe this is no more than useless grandstanding by the prime minister," he said.
"In relation to the financial aspects, freezing of assets will have no impact at all on somebody like Aqsa Mahmood, who had no assets.
"But it will also have no impact, they believe, on young teenagers who want to go off and fight for Isis.
"It's hardly going to stop them or deter them that the prime minister wants to freeze their bank accounts or their pocket money."
He said the family was more concerned about the travel ban.
"They've always hoped that one day their daughter one day would see sense, that Isis is no more than a twisted perverted distortion of Islam - it's a death cult," he said.
"And that she would break with them and one day come home.
"The idea of a travel ban is literally the British government washing their hands of their own citizens and saying: 'It's Syria's problem now'."
Muthana's father, Ahmed, said that as far as he knew his son, who studied medicine before leaving Cardiff in 2013, did not have any money to freeze.
The UN list contains the names of 72 organisations and 231 individuals. British nationals Abu Hamza al-Masri, currently serving a life sentence in prison after being found guilty of supporting terrorism, and Syrian-born Mohammed al Ghabra, 35, from east London, who has been linked to al-Qaeda, were already on the list.
The announcement of the sanctions comes as the prime minister joins other world leaders at the UN General Assembly in New York.
The government is also to spend an extra £10m on a new unit to counter propaganda from IS militants and is establishing a new committee of senior ministers to focus on the threat from the group.
A British official said Mr Cameron believes "we can and must do more to win the battle for hearts and minds".
The new unit will be based in London but with links across the Arab world to try to counter the extremist message.
After closing down 3.5% on Monday, Japan's Nikkei 225 opened in positive territory, though only just.
The benchmark was up 0.12% to 16,039.12 points after the opening bell.
By mid-morning however, the index had fallen again and was down 0.93% to 15,869.80 points.
In Australia, Sydney's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index was lower by 1.55% at 5,230.10, following a holiday on Monday.
In addition to worries over the UK's upcoming referendum, investors are also eying the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, both of which are set to hold meetings this week.
Most analysts have said it is unlikely either central bank will announce rate cuts, however.
In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi was down 0.33% at 1,972.57.
In China, Hong Kong's Hang Seng was flat at 20,500.98 after ending lower on Monday by 2.5%, while the Shanghai Composite was also flat, up just 0.05% to 2,835.57.
More than 700 people at 17 councils are employed on the contracts, which allow authorities to hire staff but with no guarantee of work, the BBC has found.
The Labour group on Gloucester City Council, where 23% of workers are on zero-hours contracts, called it a "blight on the workforce".
The council said many zero-hours workers were employed for events.
The BBC used Freedom of Information requests sent to 18 councils in the west of England to determine how many people were employed on zero-hours contacts. One did not reply.
Gloucester City Council leader, Conservative councillor Paul James, said the authority runs many "popular events" during the year.
What are zero-hours contracts?
"With such a programme to maintain, it is inevitable that we will need more people to help run them than we need to keep on our permanent establishment," he said.
But Kate Haigh, who leads the Labour group in Gloucester, said the council should set an example to its partners who provide services to the council.
"People on zero hours often suffer from the inability to plan financially and predict income," she said.
"There are some services where work is seasonal or specialist, but nonetheless we ought to offer a minimum fixed number of hours to staff who are providing the public with services."
Wiltshire Council, which has the highest number of zero-hours workers, said many were employed in the authority's leisure centres. The contracts offer flexibility, it said.
Joanne Kaye, from Unison, said the overall number of zero-hours workers may be higher because of the increased use of contractors.
But she believed the public backlash against zero-hours work would lead to more services coming back in-house.
The Office of National Statistics (ONS) said 583,000 people reported they were on a zero-hours contract in the period October to December 2013.
This is more than double than in the same period in 2012.
The ONS said the changes were likely to have been influenced by increased awareness of zero-hours contracts following media coverage.
Total of zero-hour employees per council and the total number of full time equivalent staff per council.
Wiltshire Council - 287/3,652
Gloucestershire County Council - 204/2,555
South Gloucestershire Council - 110/2,484
Gloucester City Council - 74/323
Somerset County Council - 20/8,812
Taunton Deane Council - 17/508
North Somerset Council - 8/1,400
Sedgemoor Council - 4/331
Bath and North East Somerset Council, Mendip, West Somerset, Forest of Dean, Tewkesbury, Bristol City, Stroud, Cheltenham Borough and South Somerset said they do not employ anybody on zero-hour contracts.
Swindon Borough Council did not reply to the Freedom of Information request.

Javeria Khan anchored Pakistan's innings with an unbeaten 90 as they made 271-5 from their 50 overs.
Despite a second-wicket stand of 74 between Cecelia Joyce (41) and Kim Garth (33), Ireland's challenge faded as they were bowled out for 185.
India and South Africa have clinched World Cup qualification after beating Bangladesh and Sri Lanka respectively.
With Ireland now out of contention, the final two places for the tournament - to be held in England in June and July - are likely to go to Sri Lanka and Pakistan, although Bangladesh could progress if they were to thrash Sri Lanka in their final game on Sunday and overhaul one of their rivals on net run rate.
Ireland's hopes of qualifying were already remote after suffering a seven-wicket defeat by Bangladesh in their opening Super Six match on Wednesday.
Pakistan's success at the Colombo Cricket Club owed a lot to second-wicket stand of 136 in 25 overs between Javeria and Nahida Khan (72), who hit 24 of Pakistan's 36 boundaries between them.
Nain Abidi chipped in with 44 from 55 balls as the Irish bowlers toiled in sweltering conditions, although 15-year-old Gaby Lewis (2-62) picked up two wickets in the last 10 overs.
A record-breaking run chase was needed for Ireland to stay in World Cup contention - as their target of 272 would have been their second highest one-day international total of all time, dwarfing their highest total batting second (204, against South Africa in Dublin last summer) and their highest successful run chase (175, against the Netherlands in 2010).
Despite the odds being against them, Joyce and Garth took the score to 91-1 in the 27th over before both were dismissed by successive deliveries.
Former captain Isobel Joyce fought a rearguard action, making 33, but Ireland's hopes of overhauling that massive target were over long before they were bowled out with seven balls of the innings to spare.
While their Super Six campaign will end with a dead-rubber game against South Africa at Colombo's P Sara Oval on Sunday, by virtue of qualifying for the Super Six they have retained their one-day international status.

The largest nursing union is asking 270,000 members across the UK whether they want to strike before deciding whether to issue a formal ballot.
It says a combination of pay freezes and caps on pay rises since 2010 have effectively led to a 14% pay cut due to the rising cost of living.
The Department of Health said "affordable" pay was protecting jobs.
The news comes as A&E performance figures in England for February show an improvement from their record low with 87.6% of patients admitted, transferred or discharged from A&E within four hours. The figure for January was 85.1%, but the target is 95%.
The data also shows there has been a 39.3% increase in the total number of patients waiting over 18 weeks for planned treatment since February 2016. The figure for February was 367,094. It has been a year since the 92% target for all patients to be seen within 18 weeks has been met.
There was a campaign of strike action over NHS pay in 2014. But while some nurses took part, the Royal College of Nursing did not.
Now the union says unprecedented pressure in the NHS means nurses have never worked harder, and for so little.
The latest review of public sector pay announced a 1% rise.
Janet Davies, the chief executive of the RCN, said: "Years of real-terms pay cuts have left too many struggling to make ends meet.
"Nurses should not have to fund the NHS deficit from their own pay packets.
"Whatever nurses decide, it is becoming clear that their goodwill cannot be relied on indefinitely."
She says pay is one reason there are tens of thousands of unfilled nursing posts, which risks harming patient care.
Nurse shortage 'could last for years'
Nurses will also be asked if they are interested in other forms of industrial action, such as working only their contracted hours or refusing to do work expected of more senior staff.
A Department of Health spokesperson said: "The dedication and sheer hard work of our nurses is crucial to delivering world-class patient care — that's why the NHS offers flexible working, training and development opportunities, competitive pay and an excellent pension scheme.
"As is usual practice, the government accepted independent recommendations about this year's pay uplift.
"Ensuring pay is affordable helps protect jobs - there are an extra 12,100 nurses on our wards since 2010 - which means frontline NHS services are protected at a time of rising demand."
The poll of RCN members will close on Sunday 7 May and the results will be announced at the union's annual conference later that month.

His side have a proud derby record to defend, having not lost to another Welsh side at Liberty Stadium since Dragons won there in October 2010.
"It was an important win on Boxing Day but it won't count for much if we don't follow it up with a good performance against the Dragons," said Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy.
"We're expecting a difficult afternoon against the Dragons, as is always the case. They'll come here full of confidence, so we'll have to be at our best."

The seven-year project will see 75% of trains refurbished or replaced.
About 180 new carriages are to be added to the fleet, 346 trains to be fitted with free wifi and more than 17,000 power points added to carriages.
ScotRail Alliance managing director Phil Verster said it was the biggest programme in the company's history.
ScotRail Alliance took over Scotland's train franchise in April.
£475m
investment over seven years
180 new train carriages
346 more trains with free wi-fi
17,000 at-seat power points
75% of trains new or refurbished
Mr Verster said: "I know that one of the biggest issues concerning our customers is busy trains."
"I hope, with the programme we are announcing today, people will see we are taking action.
"Alongside the massive projects we are currently delivering, this programme will bring more seats, shorter journey times and a rail service that is better for our environment."
Refurbished Class 318 trains
All 21 of ScotRail's Class 318s are being fully refurbished inside and out, with new accessible toilets, wheelchairs spaces and companion seating. Further enhancements will also see power sockets fitted for the first time, with cycle storage, CCTV and free wifi to follow next year.
Extra Class 320 trains
ScotRail will have rolled out seven additional, refurbished Class 320 three-carriage trains on Strathclyde routes by August next year.
High Speed Trains
ScotRail's new High Speed Train fleet will be introduced from autumn 2017 and throughout 2018 and used on the Glasgow-Aberdeen, Edinburgh-Aberdeen, Glasgow-Inverness, Edinburgh-Inverness and Aberdeen-Inverness routes. As this fleet is made up of four and five-carriage trains, rather than current three-carriage trains, the seating capacity will increase on these services by, on average, 36%.
New electric Hitachi Class 385 trains
These 70 brand new trains will be rolled out by December 2018 on a number of routes in Central Scotland, including:
This will allow ScotRail to run trains of up to eight carriages on its flagship Edinburgh-Glasgow line.
Eversholt Rail is carrying out the refurbishment programme.
Transport minister Derek Mackay said: "The Scottish government wants to see more people choose to leave their car at home and make use of public transport.
"That is why we are investing a record £5bn in our rail network, including significant improvements to rolling stock, to ensure that infrastructure keeps pace with demand and that Scotland's rail passengers are offered the very best value for money.
"When completed, this major train improvement programme will mean that 75% of trains on our railways are either brand new or newly-refurbished, meaning all passengers across the network will have access to more modern, comfortable and accessible trains." | George North becomes the youngest player to win 50 caps for Wales when they play Ireland on Saturday, with coach Warren Gatland insisting there is still room for improvement.

Conservative Sir Malcolm Rifkind and Labour's Jack Straw both say they have broken no rules.
Reporters for the Daily Telegraph and Channel 4's Dispatches posed as staff of a fake Chinese firm.
The MPs have referred themselves to Parliament's standards watchdog.
Labour leader Ed Miliband has written to the prime minister calling for a ban on MPs having second jobs.
It is claimed that Mr Straw was recorded describing how he operated "under the radar" and had used his influence to change EU rules on behalf of a firm which paid him £60,000 a year.
On the subject of payment, Mr Straw is heard saying: "So normally, if I'm doing a speech or something, it's £5,000 a day, that's what I charge."
Sir Malcolm is reported to have claimed he could arrange "useful access" to every British ambassador in the world.
The MP for Kensington and chairman of Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee was recorded saying: "I am self-employed - so nobody pays me a salary. I have to earn my income."
He said his usual fee for half a day's work was "somewhere in the region of £5,000 to £8,000".
MPs' second jobs: What are the rules?
Both men defended themselves on appearances on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Monday morning.
Sir Malcolm said he had "nothing to be embarrassed about". He said the allegations were "unfounded" and he vowed to fight them "with all my strength".
He said he had never accepted an offer from the fake firm, saying it was a "preliminary" discussion "about what they had mind".
Sir Malcolm is paid £67,000 a year and he said telling the company he was not paid a salary was a "silly thing to say".
"Of course I receive a salary as a Member of Parliament but I was referring to my business interests, from none of which I receive a salary. I receive payment for services I provide," he said.
He told the Daily Politics an MP's salary "sounds a lot of money to anyone earning less than that".
But he added: "The reality is that to anyone from a professional or business background earns considerably more than that."
Limiting MPs to their parliamentary salary would be "excluding very large numbers of very able people" who could not "accept such a substantial reduction in their standard of living," he added.
£65,738
MP's salary
£78,298 Headteacher
£72,649 Police superintendent
£88,000 Senior civil servant
£63,032 NHS director
About 200 MPs have business interests, he said, and everything he earns is detailed in the Register of Members' Interests.
Sir Malcolm said he would not stand down as security committee chairman, unless his committee colleagues wanted him to.
"One's got nothing to do with the other," he said. "None of the matters are remotely to do with intelligence or security."
He said he had a letter from Channel 4, accepting he had not offered access to any privileged or secret information.
Mr Straw has suspended himself from the Parliamentary Labour Party, and the party said it was aware of the "disturbing allegations" against him.
The Blackburn MP, who had already announced his intention to stand down in May, said he was "mortified" that he had fallen into the reporters' "trap" but that he had said nothing "improper".
He told Today the language he used had been "not necessarily wrong but could be taken out of context".
During his 36 years as an MP he had been "absolutely scrupulous" about observing the rules, he said, adding that the entire discussion had been around what he would do after leaving Parliament.
He acknowledged he should have postponed the conversation until after 7 May.
Earlier, Mr Straw said he had taken on one consultancy role since his ministerial career ended in 2010, with commodity suppliers, ED&F Man (Holdings) Ltd, saying it was done in accordance with the MPs' Code of Conduct.
Sir Malcolm and Mr Straw both said they had requested copies of the recording transcripts, but that Channel 4 and the Telegraph had not provided them.
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair offered Mr Straw his support, saying he was a "byword for being a hard-working constituency MP and parliamentarian".
Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said her party would "end second jobs for MPs".
Mr Miliband said the allegations against Mr Straw were "disturbing" and called for the issue of second jobs to be settled "once and for all".
Prime Minister David Cameron said he did not favour a complete ban on MPs having other employment, saying Parliament was "enriched" in some cases by members' outside experience.
Describing the reports as "very serious matters", he promised an "immediate disciplinary inquiry" into Sir Malcolm's case.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, which manages MPs' pay, has recommended a 9% salary rise, but party leaders have said that would be unacceptable.
Phillip Blond, director of the centre-right thinktank ResPublica, said MPs should be banned from having outside jobs - but should also have their pay increased.
"We need to recognise that MPs are at the top of the public service tree, and pay them at the same level as top GPs, top civil servants, top head teachers," he said.
The undercover reporters had created a fictitious communications agency called PMR, which they said was based in Hong Kong.
A statement on Channel 4's website said 12 MPs with "significant outside interests" were invited to apply for jobs with PMR, which had "plenty of money" and wanted to hire "influential British politicians to join its advisory board".
"Not all politicians are for hire," the statement added.
"Half of those approached didn't respond. One said he wanted to check us out in Hong Kong so we took it no further. And another said he just wasn't that interested. Of the others, two stood out - Sir Malcolm Rifkind and Jack Straw."
The documentary, called Politicians for Hire, will be broadcast on Channel 4 at 20:00 GMT. | Two former foreign secretaries have been suspended from their parliamentary parties after being secretly filmed apparently offering their services to a private company for cash. | 31,589,202 | 1,395 | 32 | false |
